Abstract

PURPOSE:To simplify the constitution of a barrel, to eliminate a moving coil and to cause a lens, which executes focusing, and a whole barrel part to be light by using a superconducting material as a lens barrel material. CONSTITUTION:A barrel 2 to match the interval of the lens and an optical axis, to use the superconducting material has a shape to obtain a flange in one edge. Four lens 1 for focusing are fixed with matching the lens interval and optical axis in the barrel 2. When this barrel 2 is inserted to a core 3 in a half circular arc shape, the flange part of the barrel 2 is hit to the core 3 and stopped. In such a condition, when a current flows to the coil 4, the barrel 2 is floated by a Meissner effect. By controlling the current to flow to the coil 4, the focusing can be controlled. The barrel is automatically deter mined to a position which is balanced to the strength of the magnetic flux of the right and left cores 3. Thus, the constitution of the barrel part is simpli fied and the moving coil is eliminated. Then, the lens to execute the focusing and whole barrel part can be made light.

Figure 2 shows an example of the focusing configuration of a conventional optical pickup.In order to align the lens spacing on 5 axes, the lens is fixed inside the lens barrel, a moving coil is wound around the lens barrel, and the moving coil is wound around the lens barrel. By placing a coil between the yokes, Fleming's law is utilized to move the lens up and down along with the lens barrel to control focus. Conventionally, the lens barrel has been made of aluminum or plastic.

Problem to be Solved by the Invention In order to read out information recorded on a disc more quickly and accurately, it is necessary to reduce the weight of the lens and lens barrel as much as possible. While a moving coil is essential to keep the device afloat, the coil makes the entire device heavier and hinders faster readout.

When this lens barrel 2 is inserted into the core 3 on the semicircular arc, the lens barrel 2
The flange part hits the core 3 and stops. When current is passed through the coil 4 in this state, magnetic flux is generated within the core 3. As a result, the lens barrel 2 rises due to the Meissner effect. Focusing can be controlled by controlling the current flowing through the coil 4. The lens barrel is automatically positioned at a position that is balanced by the strength of the magnetic flux of the left and right cores 3.
