Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the sensitivity of acceleration in the focusing direction without making a lens holder large in size, heavy in weight and high in power consumption by providing a first magnetic means consisting of magnet or yoke inserted into a through hole in the axial direction of the focusing coil and a second magnetic means consisting of the yoke or the magnet for generating magnetic flux between itself and the first magnetic means. SOLUTION: Magnetic flux is generated so as to penetrate side 5a and side 5b: namely between a first magnetic means composed of an upright section 7a and a permanent magnet 8 and a second magnetic means composed of an upright section 7b and between a first magnetic means composed of an upright section 7c and a permanent magnet 9 and a second magnetic means composed of an upright section 7b, and this section forms the effective length of the coil. By allowing the current to flow through the focusing coil 5, driving forces in the focusing direction in the mutually opposing sides 5a, 5b are generated. As for the tracking coil, because driving forces are generated in the respective sections sandwiched between the permanent magnet 8 and the upright section 7b and between the permanent magnet 9 and the upright section 7b, driving force is improved compared with the conventional one.

B: Magnetic flux density N: Number of coil turns l: Effective coil length m: The total weight of the lens holder (including the objective lens, coil, etc.), but the coil is increased in order to increase the number of coil turns or increase the effective coil length. It is not very practical to increase the diameter because the lens holder only increases the size and weight. It is also conceivable to pass a large current through the coil,
Not only does power consumption increase, but also highly durable components must be used in the circuit, which increases component costs and, in some cases, increases weight.

For example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 4-52812 discloses that a pair of rectangular cylindrical focusing coils are adhered to each other, and a U-shaped core and a magnet are passed through the through holes in the axial direction. A structure is disclosed in which the adhesive portion is disposed so as to sandwich the adhesive portion, and a driving force in a focusing direction is generated by using a magnetic flux crossing the adhesive portion.
Also in this structure, the acceleration of the lens holder cannot be made higher than that of the conventional structure. Further, in this structure, a force in a direction opposite to the driving direction is generated on the outer peripheral side of the focusing coil due to a leakage magnetic flux generated from a surface opposite to the surface sandwiching the U-shaped core and the attaching portion of the magnet, There are also problems such as a reduction in driving force and a loss of balance of the lens holder.
