【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、光ディスクに対する情報の記録/再生の際に、光ディスクに光ビームを適正状態に集光させるための対物レンズ駆動装置、およびその対物レンズ駆動装置を搭載する光ディスク装置に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、光ディスク装置における対物レンズ駆動装置として、特開平6−333253号公報に記載されている2軸アクチュエータのように、トラッキング方向に回動する可動部における回転中心から離れた位置に対物レンズを配置し、可動部の回動によってトラッキングを行う構成のものがある。
【0003】
図7は前記構成の一例を示す対物レンズ駆動装置の斜視図であり、対物レンズ1を一側上部に保持した可動部材2が、中央通孔部3において回動支持用板ばね5を介して中間部材4に連結しており、この回動支持用板ばね5の弾性変形によって可動部材2は、回転軸線Aを中心としてトラッキング方向へ回動可能になっている。中間部材4は回動支持用板ばね5における上下に配置された一対の互いに平行に配設された平行板ばね6(図7では上側のみ示されている)によりフォーカシング方向に移動可能に支持されている。
【0004】
回動支持用板ばね5を挟むようにして、可動部材2におけるトラッキング方向の両側には、フォーカシング用コイル7とトラッキング用コイル8とがそれぞれ固定されており、図示しないベース部材に設けられたマグネット9,ヨーク10と各コイル7,8からなる磁気回路により、可動部材2は対物レンズ1と共にフォーカシング方向(上下方向)、トラッキング方向(回転方向)に駆動される。
【0005】
前記のように可動部材2における回転軸線Aから離れた位置に対物レンズ1を配置し、可動部材2の回動によってトラッキングを行う構成のものでは、振動あるいは衝撃により可動部材2に不要な振動が発生しないように、可動部材2の重心位置Gを回転軸線A上に配置する。
【0006】
また、可動部材2をトラッキング方向に回動することができるように支持する手段として回動支持用板ばね5、あるいは樹脂性のヒンジなどの弾性支持部材を用いた場合には、可動部材2の重心Gにおける高さ方向(軸方向)の位置も弾性支持部材の支持中心高さと略一致させることにより、回転軸線Aと直交し、かつ回転軸線Aと対物レンズ1の光軸とを結ぶ方向を軸として生じる回転振動(以後、ローリングと呼ぶ)を抑制している。
【0007】
通常、対物レンズ1は光ディスクに近接して配置されるため、対物レンズ1とバランスをとって重心Gの高さと支持中心の高さを一致させるために、回転軸線Aを挟むようにして対物レンズ1と反対側の下側部(光ディスクから離れた方)にカウンタ・ウエイト11を配する。このようにすることにより、外乱振動,衝撃あるいは対物レンズ駆動装置を搭載したピックアップ全体を光ディスクの半径方向に移動させるアクセス動作を高速に行ってもローリングが発生することを防ぐことができる。
【0008】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ところが、図7に示すように、トラッキングのために可動部材2を回動をさせると、回転駆動力による加速度と逆方向に見かけ上慣性力が働くが、可動部材2における対物レンズ1側は上部(光ディスクに近い方)が重く、カウンタ・ウエイト11側は下部が重いため、対物レンズ1側とカウンタ・ウエイト11側で、前記慣性力が上下方向にずれて発生する。この慣性力がローリング軸線Bに対してモーメントとして働いて、ローリング軸線Bを中心としたローリングが発生してしまう。対物レンズ1の移動運動のトラッキング方向の周波数特性を見ると、図8に示すようにローリング共振となってあらわれる。このローリング共振は100〜200Hz程度の場合が多い。
【0009】
従来、100〜200Hzの周波数帯ではトラッキング制御ゲインが高いため問題とならないことが多かったが、近年、CD−ROMなどの再生スピードの高速化の要求が増すに連れ、ディスクの回転周波数が前記ローリング共振の周波数に近づいてきている。トラックの偏心の大きいディスクを再生する場合など、ディスクの回転に追従するため回転周波数≒ローリング周波数の帯域においてトラッキング加振すると、可動部材が激しくローリング方向に回転して傾きが生じるため、ピックアップの信号が劣化し、トラッキングエラー信号も劣化してトラッキング制御不能に陥ることもあり得る。
【0010】
本発明は、前記従来の課題を解決し、弾性支持部材により支持され回動運動によりトラッキングを行う対物レンズ駆動装置において、回動駆動時にローリングが発生することを防止し、さらにチルトの増加、また高周波数帯域にてゲインが上がり過ぎるという副作用の発生を防止することを目的とする。
【0011】
【課題を解決するための手段】
前記目的を達成するため、請求項1記載の発明は、光ディスクに情報の記録または再生のための光ビームを集光する対物レンズを搭載した可動部材と、この可動部材を前記対物レンズの光軸と平行で、かつ前記光軸から離れた軸線を中心として回動可能に支持する弾性支持部材と、この弾性支持部材における回転軸線を中心としたトラッキングのための回転駆動力を前記可動部材に加えるトラッキング駆動部材とを有し、前記可動部材の重心を前記回転軸線上に略一致させた対物レンズ駆動装置において、前記可動部材に、該可動部材における前記回転軸線を中心とした回動運動に起因する慣性力により発生するモーメントを打ち消す作用力を加える補助駆動手段を備え、該補助駆動手段を、前記可動部材における対物レンズ側の上側部に設置された第1の補助駆動部材と、前記可動部材における対物レンズとは反対側の下側部に設置された第2の補助駆動部材とから構成したことを特徴とし、この構成によって、弾性支持部材により支持され回動運動によりトラッキングが行われる際、補助駆動手段を動作させることによって回動駆動時に発生するローリングを防ぐことができる。しかも、第1,第2の補助駆動部材により、回動運動時に可動部材に発生する慣性力を効果的に打ち消すことができる。
【0013】
請求項記載の発明は、請求項記載の対物レンズ駆動装置において、第1の補助駆動部材を、可動部材における対物レンズ側の上側部に固定された電磁コイルおよび前記電磁コイルと対向する位置に設けられたマグネットから構成し、第2の補助駆動部材を、可動部材における対物レンズとは反対側の下側部に固定された電磁コイルおよび電磁コイルと対向する位置に設けられたマグネットから構成したことを特徴とし、この構成によって、この種の装置においては比較的容易に採用される磁気回路により補助駆動手段を構成することができる。
【0014】
請求項記載の発明は、請求項記載の対物レンズ駆動装置において、第1の補助駆動部材および第2の補助駆動部材における電磁コイルを、対物レンズの光軸に対して直交する方向に可動部材が回動するローリング軸線に対して平行な軸線回りに巻回された略四辺形状の平面コイルとし、第1の補助駆動部材および第2の補助駆動部材におけるマグネットを、フォーカシング方向に分割線を有し、トラッキング方向に分割着磁されたマグネットとしたことを特徴とし、この構成によって、この種の装置において一般的に採用されている磁気回路で構成された補助駆動手段により、トラッキング方向の慣性力を確実に防止することができる。
【0015】
請求項記載の発明は、前記請求項1〜のいずれか1項記載の対物レンズ駆動装置を搭載する光ディスク装置であって、前記トラッキング駆動部材のトラッキング駆動信号におけるAC成分に基づいて前記補助駆動手段を駆動する制御手段を備えたことを特徴とし、この構成によって、加速度が比較的小さいDC〜低周波帯域では発生慣性力が小さく、補助駆動手段の駆動力がチルトを増加させることになるため、補助駆動手段を動作させないようにして補助駆動手段による副作用の発生を防ぐことができる。
【0016】
請求項記載の発明は、前記請求項1〜のいずれか1項記載の対物レンズ駆動装置を搭載する光ディスク装置であって、前記トラッキング駆動部材のトラッキング駆動信号における予め設定された周波数帯域のみで前記補助駆動手段を駆動する制御手段を備えたことを特徴とし、この構成によって、高周波帯域において補助駆動手段を動作させると可動部材に加わる加速度が大き過ぎてトラッキング外れを発生させるおそれがあるため、補助駆動手段を動作させる周波数帯域を予め設定して補助駆動手段による副作用の発生を防ぐことができる。
【0017】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の好適な実施形態について図面を参照しながら説明する。
【0018】
図1は本発明の実施形態を説明するための対物レンズ駆動装置の斜視図、図2は図1に示す対物レンズ駆動装置の平面図、図3は図1に示す対物レンズ駆動装置の側面一部断面図であり、図7にて説明した部材に対応する部材には同一符号を付して詳しい説明は省略する。
【0019】
本実施形態において、可動部材2における対物レンズ1側の上側面部分と、可動部材2におけるカウンタ・ウエイト11側の下側面部分とに、それぞれローリング軸線Bと平行な軸線回りに巻回された四辺形状の平面コイル15,16が固着されており、各平面コイル15,16に対向する位置にはフォーカシング方向に分割線を有し、かつトラッキング方向に分割着磁されたマグネット17,18およびヨーク19,20が設置されている。
【0020】
可動部材2における対物レンズ1側の平面コイル15とマグネット17とヨーク19とにより第1の補助駆動部材21が構成され、可動部材2におけるカウンタ・ウエイト11側の平面コイル16とマグネット18とヨーク20とにより第2の補助駆動部材22が構成され、マグネット17,18およびヨーク19,20における磁界と、平面コイル15,16における縦の辺の電流とによって、可動部材2にトラッキング方向の回転力が与えられる。
【0021】
図4に示すように、光ディスクのトラック(図示せず)に追従するためトラッキング用コイル8に電流が流されると電磁力によるトラッキング駆動力が発生して可動部材2は、回動支持用板ばね5の弾性変形によって回転軸線Aを中心としてトラッキング方向へ回動し、これに伴い対物レンズ1はトラッキング方向に移動(加速)される。このときに可動部材2における対物レンズ1部分とカウンタ・ウエイト11部分には、トラッキング方向の加速度とは反対方向の慣性力が働く。
【0022】
しかし、本実施形態では、第1の補助駆動部材21の平面コイル15,第2の補助駆動部材22の平面コイル16にトラッキング用コイル8に流される電流と同相の電流を流すことにより、前記慣性力を打ち消すことができる。したがって、従来のように慣性力によってローリング軸線B回りにモーメントが加わることを防ぐことができるため、ローリング共振の発生を抑制することができる。
【0023】
ここで、通常、対物レンズ駆動装置においては、加速度の小さいDC(直流域)〜低周波数域では発生する慣性力が小さいため、この周波数帯域では補助駆動部材21,22によって可動部材2に加わる力が、可動部材2に対してローリング軸線B回りの捩り力として作用してしまい、可動部材2にチルトが発生する原因となる。このため、本実施形態では補助駆動部材21,22の平面コイル15,16に供給する電流をAC成分のみにしている。
【0024】
図5は前記対物レンズ駆動装置を搭載した本発明に係る光ディスク装置の実施形態を説明するための制御系の構成を示すブロック図であり、光ピックアップ25に設けられた図示しない検出センサにより検出されたトラックエラー信号はヘッドアンプ26で増幅され、演算処理/制御手段であるコントローラ27に送られる。コントローラ27ではトラックエラーを小さくするようにフィードバックが施された制御信号に変換されて対物レンズ駆動装置のドライバ28へと送られる。ドライバ28は制御信号を電力に変換してトラッキング用コイル8へ供給する。
【0025】
また、コントローラ27からの制御信号は分岐されて、ハイパスフィルタ29を通してドライバ28に送られて、電力に変換されて補助駆動部材21,22の平面コイル15,16へ供給される。このようにすることにより、DC〜低周波数域での平面コイル15,16に対する電力の供給が制限されるため、可動部材2にチルトが発生することを防ぐことができる。
【0026】
また、補助駆動部材21,22による可動部材2に加わる駆動力はトラッキング加速度と同じ向きであるから、AC領域ではゲインが高くなっていることになる。しかしながら、あまり高周波でゲインが高いとディスク上の細かい傷などに過剰に反応してトラッキング外れが生じやすくなるという不具合が生じる。
【0027】
図6に示す制御系の構成を示すブロック図のように、図5に示す構成におけるハイパスフィルタ29に換えて100〜200Hz程度のローリング共振周波数帯域以外は減衰させるバンドパスフィルタ30を用いることにより、前記不具合を解消することができる。
【0028】
【発明の効果】
以上説明したように、本発明の対物レンズ駆動装置によれば、弾性支持部材により支持され回動運動によりトラッキングを行う際、その回動駆動時に慣性力によって発生するモーメントを補助駆動手段により打ち消し、ローリングが発生することを防止することができるため、対物レンズに対する正確で良好なトラッキング制御が可能になる。
【0029】
また、本発明の対物レンズ駆動装置を搭載する光ディスク装置によれば、前記補助駆動手段を設けたことによる副作用としてのDC帯域におけるチルトの増加を防止することができ、さらに高周波帯域においてゲインが上がり過ぎてトラッキング外れが生じるようなことを防止することができる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an objective lens driving device for focusing a light beam on an optical disc in an appropriate state when recording / reproducing information on / from the optical disc, and an optical disc device equipped with the objective lens driving device.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, as an objective lens driving device in an optical disk apparatus, an objective lens is disposed at a position away from the center of rotation in a movable portion that rotates in a tracking direction, as in a biaxial actuator described in JP-A-6-333253. However, there is a configuration in which tracking is performed by rotating a movable portion.
[0003]
FIG. 7 is a perspective view of an objective lens driving apparatus showing an example of the above configuration, in which the movable member 2 holding the objective lens 1 at the upper part on one side is intermediate in the central through hole 3 via the rotation support leaf spring 5. The movable member 2 is connected to the member 4, and the movable member 2 can be rotated about the rotation axis A in the tracking direction by elastic deformation of the rotation supporting plate spring 5. The intermediate member 4 is supported so as to be movable in the focusing direction by a pair of parallel leaf springs 6 (only the upper side is shown in FIG. 7) arranged in parallel with each other on the upper and lower sides of the rotation supporting leaf spring 5. ing.
[0004]
A focusing coil 7 and a tracking coil 8 are fixed to both sides of the movable member 2 in the tracking direction so as to sandwich the rotation supporting plate spring 5, respectively, and a magnet 9 provided on a base member (not shown), The movable member 2 is driven together with the objective lens 1 in the focusing direction (up and down direction) and the tracking direction (rotation direction) by a magnetic circuit including the yoke 10 and the coils 7 and 8.
[0005]
In the configuration in which the objective lens 1 is disposed at a position away from the rotation axis A in the movable member 2 as described above and tracking is performed by the rotation of the movable member 2, unnecessary vibration is generated in the movable member 2 due to vibration or impact. The center of gravity position G of the movable member 2 is arranged on the rotation axis A so as not to occur.
[0006]
Further, when the support member 5 is supported so as to be able to rotate the movable member 2 in the tracking direction, an elastic support member such as a rotation supporting leaf spring 5 or a resin hinge is used. By making the position in the height direction (axial direction) of the center of gravity G substantially coincide with the support center height of the elastic support member, a direction orthogonal to the rotation axis A and connecting the rotation axis A and the optical axis of the objective lens 1 is set. Rotational vibration (hereinafter referred to as rolling) generated as a shaft is suppressed.
[0007]
Usually, the objective lens 1 is disposed close to the optical disc, and therefore, in order to balance the objective lens 1 and to make the height of the center of gravity G coincide with the height of the support center, the objective lens 1 is sandwiched between the objective lens 1 and the rotation axis A. A counterweight 11 is arranged on the lower side (the side away from the optical disk) on the opposite side. By doing so, it is possible to prevent rolling from occurring even if the access operation for moving the entire pickup equipped with the disturbance vibration, impact or objective lens driving device in the radial direction of the optical disk is performed at high speed.
[0008]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, as shown in FIG. 7, when the movable member 2 is rotated for tracking, an inertial force apparently works in a direction opposite to the acceleration due to the rotational driving force, but the objective lens 1 side of the movable member 2 is the upper portion. Since (the one closer to the optical disk) is heavy and the lower part on the counterweight 11 side is heavy, the inertial force is generated in the vertical direction on the objective lens 1 side and the counterweight 11 side. This inertial force acts as a moment with respect to the rolling axis B, and rolling about the rolling axis B occurs. Looking at the frequency characteristics in the tracking direction of the moving motion of the objective lens 1, rolling resonance appears as shown in FIG. This rolling resonance is often about 100 to 200 Hz.
[0009]
Conventionally, the tracking control gain is high in the frequency band of 100 to 200 Hz, which has not been a problem in many cases. However, in recent years, as the demand for increasing the reproduction speed of a CD-ROM or the like increases, The frequency of resonance is approaching. When playing a disk with a large track eccentricity, such as when playing a disk in the band of rotation frequency ≒ rolling frequency to follow the rotation of the disk, the movable member rotates in the rolling direction and tilts. May deteriorate, the tracking error signal may deteriorate, and tracking control may become impossible.
[0010]
The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems, and in an objective lens driving device that is supported by an elastic support member and performs tracking by a rotational motion, it is possible to prevent rolling from occurring during the rotational driving, and to further increase the tilt, The object is to prevent the occurrence of side effects that the gain increases too much in the high frequency band.
[0011]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, an invention according to claim 1 is directed to a movable member having an objective lens for condensing a light beam for recording or reproducing information on an optical disc, and the movable member as an optical axis of the objective lens. An elastic support member that is pivotally supported about an axis that is parallel to the optical axis and that is separated from the optical axis, and a rotational driving force for tracking about the rotation axis of the elastic support member is applied to the movable member In the objective lens driving device having a tracking drive member and having the center of gravity of the movable member substantially coincided with the rotation axis, the movable member is caused by a rotational motion around the rotation axis of the movable member. an auxiliary driving means for applying an action force to counteract the moment generated by the inertial forces, the auxiliary driving means, setting the upper portion of the objective lens side of the movable member A first auxiliary drive member is characterized by being configured of the second auxiliary driving member installed on the lower portion of the side opposite to the objective lens in the movable member, this structure, the elastic support When tracking is performed by a rotational movement supported by a member, rolling that occurs during the rotational driving can be prevented by operating the auxiliary driving means. Moreover, the first and second auxiliary drive members can effectively cancel the inertial force generated in the movable member during the rotational movement.
[0013]
According to a second aspect of the invention, in the objective lens driving device of claim 1, the first auxiliary driving member, a position opposed to the electromagnetic coil and the electromagnetic coil fixed to the upper portion of the objective lens side of the movable member The second auxiliary drive member is composed of an electromagnetic coil fixed to the lower side of the movable member opposite to the objective lens and a magnet disposed at a position facing the electromagnetic coil. With this configuration, the auxiliary driving means can be configured by a magnetic circuit that is relatively easily adopted in this type of apparatus.
[0014]
According to a third aspect of the invention, in the objective lens driving device according to claim 2, moving the electromagnetic coil of the first auxiliary driving member and the second auxiliary driving member, in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis of the objective lens A substantially quadrilateral planar coil wound around an axis parallel to the rolling axis about which the member rotates, and magnets in the first auxiliary drive member and the second auxiliary drive member are divided in the focusing direction. It is characterized in that the magnet is divided and magnetized in the tracking direction, and by this structure, the inertia in the tracking direction is achieved by auxiliary drive means composed of a magnetic circuit generally adopted in this type of device. Force can be reliably prevented.
[0015]
According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, there is provided an optical disc apparatus including the objective lens driving device according to any one of the first to third aspects, wherein the auxiliary is based on an AC component in a tracking driving signal of the tracking driving member. The control means for driving the drive means is provided. With this configuration, the generated inertia force is small in the DC to low frequency band where the acceleration is relatively small, and the drive force of the auxiliary drive means increases the tilt. Therefore, it is possible to prevent side effects from being generated by the auxiliary drive means by not operating the auxiliary drive means.
[0016]
A fifth aspect of the present invention is an optical disc apparatus including the objective lens driving device according to any one of the first to third aspects, wherein only a preset frequency band in a tracking driving signal of the tracking driving member is provided. The control means for driving the auxiliary drive means is provided, and with this configuration, if the auxiliary drive means is operated in a high frequency band, the acceleration applied to the movable member is too large, and there is a risk of causing a tracking error. The frequency band for operating the auxiliary driving means can be set in advance to prevent the side effects caused by the auxiliary driving means.
[0017]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
[0018]
1 is a perspective view of an objective lens driving apparatus for explaining an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a plan view of the objective lens driving apparatus shown in FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a side view of the objective lens driving apparatus shown in FIG. It is a fragmentary sectional view, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the member corresponding to the member demonstrated in FIG. 7, and detailed description is abbreviate | omitted.
[0019]
In the present embodiment, the four sides wound around the axis parallel to the rolling axis B on the upper surface portion of the movable member 2 on the objective lens 1 side and the lower surface portion of the movable member 2 on the counterweight 11 side, respectively. The planar coils 15 and 16 having a shape are fixed, the magnets 17 and 18 and the yoke 19 which have division lines in the focusing direction at positions facing the planar coils 15 and 16 and are divided and magnetized in the tracking direction. , 20 are installed.
[0020]
The planar coil 15 on the objective lens 1 side in the movable member 2, the magnet 17, and the yoke 19 constitute a first auxiliary drive member 21, and the planar coil 16, magnet 18, and yoke 20 on the counter weight 11 side in the movable member 2. Thus, the second auxiliary drive member 22 is configured, and the rotational force in the tracking direction is applied to the movable member 2 by the magnetic field in the magnets 17 and 18 and the yokes 19 and 20 and the current in the vertical sides of the planar coils 15 and 16. Given.
[0021]
As shown in FIG. 4, when a current is passed through the tracking coil 8 to follow a track (not shown) of the optical disk, a tracking driving force is generated by an electromagnetic force, and the movable member 2 is a rotation supporting leaf spring. 5 is rotated in the tracking direction about the rotation axis A by the elastic deformation, and accordingly, the objective lens 1 is moved (accelerated) in the tracking direction. At this time, an inertial force in a direction opposite to the acceleration in the tracking direction acts on the objective lens 1 portion and the counterweight 11 portion of the movable member 2.
[0022]
However, in the present embodiment, the inertial force is caused by flowing a current having the same phase as the current flowing in the tracking coil 8 through the planar coil 15 of the first auxiliary driving member 21 and the planar coil 16 of the second auxiliary driving member 22. The power can be countered. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the moment from being applied around the rolling axis B due to the inertial force as in the conventional case, and thus it is possible to suppress the occurrence of rolling resonance.
[0023]
Here, in general, in the objective lens driving device, since the inertial force generated in a low acceleration (DC) to low frequency range is small, the force applied to the movable member 2 by the auxiliary driving members 21 and 22 in this frequency band. However, this acts on the movable member 2 as a twisting force around the rolling axis B, and causes the movable member 2 to tilt. For this reason, in this embodiment, the current supplied to the planar coils 15 and 16 of the auxiliary drive members 21 and 22 is limited to the AC component.
[0024]
FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a control system for explaining an embodiment of the optical disk apparatus according to the present invention on which the objective lens driving device is mounted, which is detected by a detection sensor (not shown) provided in the optical pickup 25. The track error signal is amplified by the head amplifier 26 and sent to the controller 27 which is an arithmetic processing / control means. The controller 27 converts the control signal to a feedback signal so as to reduce the track error and sends it to the driver 28 of the objective lens driving device. The driver 28 converts the control signal into electric power and supplies it to the tracking coil 8.
[0025]
Further, the control signal from the controller 27 is branched, sent to the driver 28 through the high-pass filter 29, converted into electric power, and supplied to the planar coils 15, 16 of the auxiliary drive members 21, 22. By doing in this way, since supply of the electric power with respect to the planar coils 15 and 16 in DC-low frequency range is restrict | limited, it can prevent that the tilting generate | occur | produces in the movable member 2. FIG.
[0026]
Further, since the driving force applied to the movable member 2 by the auxiliary driving members 21 and 22 is in the same direction as the tracking acceleration, the gain is high in the AC region. However, if the gain is too high and the gain is high, there is a problem that the tracking is liable to occur due to excessive reaction to fine scratches on the disk.
[0027]
As shown in the block diagram of the configuration of the control system illustrated in FIG. 6, by using a bandpass filter 30 that attenuates other than the rolling resonance frequency band of about 100 to 200 Hz, instead of the highpass filter 29 in the configuration illustrated in FIG. 5, The problem can be solved.

【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the objective lens driving device of the present invention, when tracking is performed by the rotational movement supported by the elastic support member, the moment generated by the inertia force during the rotational driving is canceled by the auxiliary driving means, Since rolling can be prevented, accurate and good tracking control for the objective lens is possible.
[0029]
In addition, according to the optical disk apparatus equipped with the objective lens driving device of the present invention, it is possible to prevent an increase in tilt in the DC band as a side effect due to the provision of the auxiliary driving means, and further increase the gain in the high frequency band. Thus, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of tracking error.
