Description

本発明は、AF(オートフォーカス)カメラモジュール等に設けられるレンズ駆動装置用板バネに関する。   The present invention relates to a leaf spring for a lens driving device provided in an AF (autofocus) camera module or the like.

カメラ付き携帯電話機等に搭載されるAFカメラモジュールには、レンズを光軸方向に変位駆動させるレンズ駆動装置が設けられている。このようなレンズ駆動装置は、レンズをレンズ光軸方向に移動可能に支持する板バネを有しており、板バネは、固定部材に固定される環状のフレーム部と、フレーム部から内周側に延出し、フレーム部の中央部に配置されるレンズをフレーム部の中心軸方向(レンズ光軸方向)に変位可能に支持するバネ部とを備える(例えば、特許文献1参照)。   An AF camera module mounted on a camera-equipped cellular phone or the like is provided with a lens driving device that drives the lens to move in the optical axis direction. Such a lens driving device includes a leaf spring that supports the lens so as to be movable in the lens optical axis direction. The leaf spring includes an annular frame portion fixed to a fixing member, and an inner peripheral side from the frame portion. And a spring portion that supports the lens disposed at the center of the frame portion so as to be displaceable in the central axis direction (lens optical axis direction) of the frame portion (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

一般に、この種の板バネは、エッチング工法(化学反応切削加工)またはプレス工法(塑性加工)により製造されている。エッチング工法では、最終形状と同様のマスクを用いて、マスク以外の部分を化学反応切削するが、化学反応切削では、マスク部が切削されないという保証がないだけでなく、製造に時間がかかり、コストが上昇するという問題がある。   In general, this type of leaf spring is manufactured by an etching method (chemical reaction cutting) or a pressing method (plastic processing). The etching method uses the same mask as the final shape to cut parts other than the mask by chemical reaction, but chemical reaction cutting not only guarantees that the mask part will not be cut, but also takes time to manufacture and costs. There is a problem of rising.

特開2011−169446号公報JP 2011-169446 A

一方、プレス工法では、エッチング工法に比べて板バネの製造時間を短縮することが可能であるが、プレス工法により製造される板バネの寸法精度は、加工パーツの寸法精度に依存するため、要求される寸法精度を達成することが困難な場合がある。例えば、プレス工法で一枚の板バネに同一形状のバネ部をN本加工する場合、加工パーツにはN本分のバネ部加工箇所が必要となるが、これらのバネ部加工箇所が同寸法で製作されるという保証がないので、すべてのバネ部の形状が一定にならず、バネ部の性能にばらつきが生じる惧れがあった。   On the other hand, in the press method, it is possible to shorten the manufacturing time of the leaf spring compared to the etching method, but the dimensional accuracy of the leaf spring manufactured by the press method depends on the dimensional accuracy of the processed part, so it is required. It may be difficult to achieve the desired dimensional accuracy. For example, when N pieces of spring parts with the same shape are machined on a single leaf spring by the press method, N parts of the spring parts are required for the machined parts. Since there is no guarantee that it will be manufactured, the shape of all the spring parts is not constant, and the performance of the spring parts may vary.

そこで、本発明は、上記の問題点に鑑みなされたものであって、エッチング工法に比べて製造時間を短縮できるプレス工法で製造しても、N本のバネ部を同寸法とし、安定した性能が得られるレンズ駆動装置用板バネを提供することを目的とする。   Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and even when manufactured by a press method that can reduce the manufacturing time compared to the etching method, the N spring portions have the same dimensions and have stable performance. It is an object of the present invention to provide a leaf spring for a lens driving device from which the above can be obtained.

本発明は上記目的を達成するために提案されたものであり、固定部材に固定される環状のフレーム部と、前記フレーム部から内周側に延出し、前記フレーム部の中央部に配置されるレンズを前記フレーム部の中心軸方向に変位可能に支持するN本のバネ部を、を備えるレンズ駆動装置用板バネであって、同一形状に形成されるN枚の分割板バネ片を備え、

The present invention has been proposed in order to achieve the above object, and includes an annular frame portion fixed to a fixing member, an inner peripheral side extending from the frame portion, and disposed at a central portion of the frame portion.

Each of the N divided leaf spring pieces includes a divided frame piece that forms a part of the frame portion, and one spring portion that extends from the divided frame piece toward the inner peripheral side. The frame pieces are arranged in the circumferential direction so as to partially overlap each other to form the annular frame portion, and include a region extending the spring portion and a region not extending the spring portion. Between the two regions, there is a step portion for positioning the N spring portions on the same plane even if part of them overlap each other.

また、前記分割フレーム片は、互いに重なり合う領域に位置決め孔を備え、互いに重なり合う前記分割フレーム片同士の位置決め孔に位置決め部材を貫通させることにより位置決めされることを特徴とする。   In addition, the divided frame pieces are provided with positioning holes in areas where they are overlapped with each other, and are positioned by passing a positioning member through the positioning holes of the overlapping divided frame pieces.

また、前記分割フレーム片は、異なる組み合せで3枚以上が重なり合う領域を複数備え、これらの領域にそれぞれ前記位置決め孔を備えることを特徴とする。   In addition, the divided frame piece includes a plurality of regions in which three or more sheets are overlapped in different combinations, and each of the regions includes the positioning hole.

本発明によれば、エッチング工法に比べて製造時間を短縮できるプレス工法で製造しても、N本のバネ部を同寸法とし、安定した性能が得られるレンズ駆動装置用板バネを提供することができる。   According to the present invention, there is provided a leaf spring for a lens driving device in which N spring portions have the same dimensions and stable performance can be obtained even when manufactured by a press method that can reduce the manufacturing time as compared with an etching method.

Note that the same reference numerals are given to the same elements throughout the description of the embodiment.

図1は、本発明の第1実施形態に係るレンズ駆動装置用板バネを示す斜視図、図2は、本発明の第1実施形態に係るレンズ駆動装置用板バネを示す図であり、(a)はレンズ駆動装置用板バネの平面図、(b)はレンズ駆動装置用板バネの正面図である。   FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a leaf spring for a lens driving device according to a first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a view showing a leaf spring for a lens driving device according to the first embodiment of the present invention. (a) is a plan view of a leaf spring for a lens driving device, and (b) is a front view of the leaf spring for a lens driving device.

これらの図に示すように、本発明の第1実施形態に係るレンズ駆動装置用板バネ1は、環状のフレーム部2と、フレーム部2から内周側に延出する4本のバネ部3とを備える。なお、バネ部の本数は4本に限定されず、2本以上であれば任意の本数とすることができる。   As shown in these drawings, the leaf spring 1 for a lens driving device according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes an annular frame portion 2 and four spring portions 3 extending from the frame portion 2 toward the inner peripheral side. With. Note that the number of spring portions is not limited to four, and can be any number as long as it is two or more.

フレーム部2は、平板状の略方形の形状をしており、レンズ駆動装置の固定部材(図示せず)に固定される。例えば、本実施形態のフレーム部2は、周方向の角部に所定の間隔を存して並ぶ4つの固定孔2aを備えており、これらの固定孔2aに貫通されるピンなどの固定部材(図示せず)を介して、レンズ駆動装置の固定部材に固定される。   The frame part 2 has a flat, substantially rectangular shape, and is fixed to a fixing member (not shown) of the lens driving device. For example, the frame portion 2 of the present embodiment includes four fixing holes 2a arranged at predetermined intervals at corners in the circumferential direction, and a fixing member such as a pin that penetrates the fixing holes 2a ( It is fixed to a fixing member of the lens driving device via a not-shown).

バネ部3は、フレーム部2の中央部に配置されるレンズ(図示せず)をフレーム部2の中心軸方向Z(レンズ光軸方向)に変位可能に支持する。例えば、本実施形態のバネ部3は、フレーム部2の内周側に沿う円弧形状の第1腕部3aと、第1腕部3aの端部から第1腕部3aが沿う方向と反対方向の内周側に沿って折返し状に形成される円弧形状の第2腕部3bとを備え、第2腕部3bで保持したレンズを、主に第1腕部3aの弾性変形によりレンズ光軸方向に変位させる。なお、本実施形態のバネ部3は、隣接するバネ部3と一部が重なり合い、図2(a)に示されるように、切れ目のない連続した略環状の形状を備えるものとして説明するが、バネ部3同士が重ならない形状としてもよい。   The spring portion 3 supports a lens (not shown) disposed at the center portion of the frame portion 2 so as to be displaceable in the central axis direction Z (lens optical axis direction) of the frame portion 2. For example, the spring portion 3 according to the present embodiment includes an arc-shaped first arm portion 3a along the inner peripheral side of the frame portion 2, and a direction opposite to the direction along which the first arm portion 3a extends from the end of the first arm portion 3a. The second arm portion 3b having an arc shape formed in a folded shape along the inner peripheral side of the lens, and the lens held by the second arm portion 3b is used as a lens optical axis mainly by elastic deformation of the first arm portion 3a. Displace in the direction. In addition, although the spring part 3 of this embodiment overlaps with the adjacent spring part 3, and demonstrates as shown in FIG.2 (a) as what is provided with the continuous substantially cyclic | annular shape without a cut | interruption, It is good also as a shape where the spring parts 3 do not overlap.

これらの図に示すように、レンズ駆動装置用板バネ1は、プレス工法により同一形状に形成される4枚の分割板バネ片11を備え、これらの分割板バネ片11を組み合せることにより構成される。このようなレンズ駆動装置用板バネ1によれば、エッチング工法に比べて製造時間を短縮できるプレス工法で製造されるものでありながら、4本のバネ部3を同寸法とし、安定した性能が得られる。具体的には、プレス工法では、同一の金型を用いて分割板バネ片用の金属板を打ち抜くことによって分割板バネ片11が形成されるため、同寸法のバネ部3を備えるN本の分割板バネ片11を作製することができる。以下、分割板バネ片11の具体的な形状について説明する。

(A) is a plan view of the split leaf spring piece, (b) is a front view of the split leaf spring piece, (c) is a left side view of the split leaf spring piece, (D) is a right side view of the split leaf spring piece, and FIG. 5 is an enlarged view of a main part showing the split leaf spring piece constituting the leaf spring for the lens driving device according to the first embodiment of the present invention. ) Is an enlarged view of part A in FIG. 4, (b) is an enlarged view of part B in FIG. 4, and (c) is an enlarged view of part C in FIG.
As shown in these drawings, the leaf spring 1 for a lens driving device includes four divided leaf spring pieces 11 formed in the same shape by a press method, and is configured by combining these divided leaf spring pieces 11. Is done. According to such a leaf spring 1 for a lens driving device, although it is manufactured by a press method that can reduce the manufacturing time as compared with an etching method, the four spring portions 3 have the same dimensions and have stable performance. can get. Specifically, in the press method, since the split leaf spring pieces 11 are formed by punching out a metal plate for the split leaf spring pieces using the same mold, N pieces of spring portions 3 having the same dimensions are formed. The divided leaf spring piece 11 can be produced. Hereinafter, a specific shape of the divided leaf spring piece 11 will be described.

4枚の分割板バネ片11は、それぞれ、フレーム部2の一部を形成する分割フレーム片12と、該分割フレーム片12から内周側に延出するバネ片13とからなる。バネ片13は、バネ部3と同一形状であり、そのままバネ部3を構成する。一方、分割フレーム片12は、互いに一部が重なり合う状態で周方向に並ぶことにより環状のフレーム部2を形成する。   Each of the four divided leaf spring pieces 11 includes a divided frame piece 12 that forms a part of the frame portion 2 and a spring piece 13 that extends from the divided frame piece 12 to the inner peripheral side. The spring piece 13 has the same shape as the spring part 3 and constitutes the spring part 3 as it is. On the other hand, the divided frame pieces 12 form an annular frame portion 2 by being arranged in the circumferential direction in a state where a part thereof overlaps each other.

本実施形態の分割フレーム片12は、平面視でL字形状を有しており、フレーム部2の中心点Oを中心として90゜ずつ回転させ、順次隣接する分割フレーム片12に重ね合わせることによりフレーム部2を形成することができる。これにより、各分割フレーム片12では、異なる組み合せで互いに重なり合う第1〜第3の領域12a、12b、12cが生じる。例えば、3枚が重なり合う状態で、中間層となる領域を第1領域12a、上層となる領域を第2領域12b、下層となる領域を第3領域12cとする。なお、図面においては、各領域12a〜12cを明確にするためにハッチングを付与する。   The divided frame piece 12 of the present embodiment has an L shape in plan view, and is rotated by 90 ° about the center point O of the frame portion 2 and sequentially overlaps the adjacent divided frame pieces 12. The frame part 2 can be formed. Thereby, in each divided frame piece 12, the 1st-the 3rd field 12a, 12b, and 12c which mutually overlap with a different combination arise. For example, in a state where three sheets are overlapped, a region serving as an intermediate layer is referred to as a first region 12a, a region serving as an upper layer is referred to as a second region 12b, and a region serving as a lower layer is referred to as a third region 12c. In the drawing, hatching is given to clarify each of the regions 12a to 12c.

4枚の分割板バネ片11が備える分割フレーム片12は、互いに一部が重なり合う状態で周方向に並んで環状のフレーム部2を形成した場合、分割フレーム片12同士が重なりによって相対的に傾斜し、または、高低差を生じさせ、4本のバネ部3間に位置誤差が生じる惧れがある。そこで、本発明の分割フレーム片12には、互いに一部が重なり合っても4本のバネ部3を同一平面上に位置させるための段差部12d、12eが形成される。   The divided frame pieces 12 included in the four divided leaf spring pieces 11 are relatively inclined due to the overlapping of the divided frame pieces 12 when the annular frame portions 2 are formed side by side in the circumferential direction so as to partially overlap each other. Alternatively, a height difference may be caused, and a position error may occur between the four spring portions 3. Therefore, the divided frame pieces 12 of the present invention are formed with stepped portions 12d and 12e for positioning the four spring portions 3 on the same plane even if they partially overlap each other.

重ね合わせ時に中間層となる第1領域12aからバネ部3を延出させる場合、中間層となる第1領域12aと上層となる第2領域12bとの間に、立上がり状の第1段差部12dを設けるとともに、中間層となる第1領域12aと下層となる第3領域12cとの間に、立下がり状の第2段差部12eを設ける。このようにすると、分割フレーム片12同士を相対的に傾斜させることなく重ね合わせることが可能になるので、4本のバネ部3を同一平面上(中間層)に位置させることができる。また、本実施形態では、バネ片13同士も一部が重なり合うので、バネ部3の第1腕部3aの端部には、第5領域13bを備え、中間層となる第4領域13aと上層となる第5領域13bとの間に、立上がり状の第3段差部13cが設けられる。さらに、第3段差部13cによって、第5領域13bは、第2領域12bと同一平面状に位置させることができる。なお、4本のバネ部3を同一平面上により精度よく位置させるためには、左記の立ち上がり状の段差部12d、13dや立ち下がり状の段差部12eの高さ方向の寸法は、バネ片の板厚と同程度の寸法が望ましい。   When the spring portion 3 is extended from the first region 12a serving as the intermediate layer at the time of overlapping, the first step portion 12d having a rising shape is formed between the first region 12a serving as the intermediate layer and the second region 12b serving as the upper layer. And a second stepped portion 12e having a falling shape is provided between the first region 12a serving as an intermediate layer and the third region 12c serving as a lower layer. In this way, the divided frame pieces 12 can be overlapped without being relatively inclined, so that the four spring portions 3 can be positioned on the same plane (intermediate layer). Moreover, in this embodiment, since the spring pieces 13 also partially overlap each other, the end portion of the first arm portion 3a of the spring portion 3 includes the fifth region 13b, and the fourth region 13a serving as an intermediate layer and the upper layer A rising third step 13c is provided between the fifth region 13b. Further, the fifth step 13c allows the fifth region 13b to be positioned in the same plane as the second region 12b. In order to position the four spring portions 3 more precisely on the same plane, the height-wise stepped portions 12d and 13d and the falling stepped portion 12e shown in the left are dimensioned in the height direction of the spring piece. A size comparable to the plate thickness is desirable.

また、分割フレーム片12は、互いに重なり合う領域12a〜12cに加え、位置決め孔12f〜12hを備えており、互いに重なり合う分割フレーム片12同士の位置決め孔12f〜12hにピンなどの位置決め部材(図示せず)を貫通させることにより位置決めされる。本実施形態の分割フレーム片12は、異なる組み合せで3枚が重なり合う領域12a〜12cを3つ備え、これらの領域12a〜12cにそれぞれ位置決め孔12f〜12hを備える。この構成によれば、4枚の分割板バネ片11を組み合わせて構成されるものでありながら、各分割板バネ片11を精度良く位置決めすることができる。なお、本実施形態では、位置決め孔12fを固定孔2aに兼用するが、位置決め孔12fと固定孔2aは別々に形成されるものであってもよい。
なお、段差部12d,12e,13dと位置決め孔12f〜12hは、分割板バネ片11とともに、プレス工法によって形成される。
The divided frame pieces 12 include positioning holes 12f to 12h in addition to the overlapping areas 12a to 12c, and positioning members (not shown) such as pins are provided in the positioning holes 12f to 12h of the divided frame pieces 12 that overlap each other. ). The divided frame piece 12 according to the present embodiment includes three regions 12a to 12c in which three pieces overlap each other in different combinations, and the regions 12a to 12c include positioning holes 12f to 12h, respectively. According to this configuration, each of the divided leaf spring pieces 11 can be accurately positioned while being configured by combining the four divided leaf spring pieces 11. In this embodiment, the positioning hole 12f is also used as the fixing hole 2a. However, the positioning hole 12f and the fixing hole 2a may be formed separately.
The step portions 12d, 12e, 13d and the positioning holes 12f to 12h are formed together with the divided leaf spring pieces 11 by a press method.

つぎに、本発明の第1実施形態に係るレンズ駆動装置用板バネ1の組み立て工程および段差部12d、12eの作用について、図6および図7を参照して説明する。   Next, an assembling process of the leaf spring 1 for a lens driving device according to the first embodiment of the present invention and an operation of the step portions 12d and 12e will be described with reference to FIGS.

具体的に説明すると、第2実施形態の分割フレーム片12Bは、第1実施形態の分割フレーム片12の第3領域12cを省いた形状であるが、第1実施形態と同様に、フレーム部2の中心点Oを中心として90゜ずつ回転させ、順次隣接する分割フレーム片12に重ね合わせることによりフレーム部2を形成することができる。ただし、第2実施形態の各分割フレーム片12Bでは、第3領域12cが省かれているので、重なり合う状態で、第1領域12aが下層、第2領域12bが上層となる。   More specifically, the divided frame piece 12B of the second embodiment has a shape in which the third region 12c of the divided frame piece 12 of the first embodiment is omitted, but the frame portion 2 is the same as the first embodiment. The frame portion 2 can be formed by rotating by 90 ° around the center point O and sequentially overlapping the adjacent divided frame pieces 12. However, in each divided frame piece 12B of the second embodiment, since the third region 12c is omitted, the first region 12a is the lower layer and the second region 12b is the upper layer in an overlapping state.
