  • Publication number: 20220247295
    Abstract: An actuator includes a cover that houses a movable body. The cover is divided into two parts: a first cover member and a second cover member. A first comb teeth portion disposed at the end of the first cover member and a second comb teeth portion disposed at the end of the second cover member slidably engage each other in a first direction. Therefore, the first and second cover members can be assembled by adjusting the gap between the cover and the movable body in which a connecting member connecting the movable body and the cover is disposed, so that the dimensional accuracy of the gap between the cover and the movable body can be improved. Therefore, the movable body and the support body can be securely connected, and assembly defects can be avoided. Moreover, excess compression of the connecting member can be avoided.

  • Publication number: 20220247294
    Abstract: An actuator includes a magnetic drive circuit to vibrate a movable body relative to a support body. The magnetic drive circuit includes a magnet disposed in the movable body and a coil disposed in the support body. The support body includes a metal cover housing the movable body and a metal coil holder holding the coil. Two guide portions disposed on the coil holder are in surface contact with a first surface and a second surface of the cover. The heat generated when the coil is energized is transmitted from the coil holding portion to the guide portions and dissipated to the outside from the cover, which is in surface contact with the guide portions. Therefore, the temperature rise of the coil can be suppressed.

  • Patent number: 9332188
    Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide an optical unit with camera-shake correction function capable of minimizing the load applied to a movable element from a flexible wiring substrate even when the movable element is oscillated, in order to correct camera shake. In an optical unit provided with a camera-shake correction function, a movable element can be oscillated about an oscillation support point by actuating a drive mechanism for camera-shake correction, and camera shake can therefore be corrected.

  • Patent number: 9041816
    Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide an optical unit with a shake correction function such that even when a photo reflector is provided by using a gap between a side surface of a movable body and a side surface of a fixed body, an appropriate relationship between an output from the photo reflector and the rock angle of the movable body can be obtained. In an optical unit (100) with a shake correction function, a movable body (3) is rocked about a rock fulcrum (180) by a driving mechanism (500) for shake correction, and thereby shaking is corrected. At that point, the movement of the movable body (3) is monitored by providing a first photo reflector (580a) and a second photo reflector (580b) on side surfaces of a fixed body (200).
