Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress a tilt of an objective lens without increasing fitting precision by providing the objective lens, a holder holding the objective lens and a drive system driving the holder in the focusing direction and tracking direction and providing a tracking direction positional adjustment means on a yoke constituting the drive system. SOLUTION: When a magnet 8 fixed to the yoke 9 is moved in the tracking direction, an applied point of electromagnetic force is moved in the tracking direction also, and the radial tilt of the objective lens 1 is changed also. When a relative position between a focus coil 2 and the magnet 8 is deviated in the shifting adjustment of the objective lens 1, and when an amount of a damper agent 7, a spring constant of an elastic support means 5, the fitting position of the focus coil 2 to the holder 4 come off, etc., by performing the positional adjustment of the yoke 9 in the tracking direction, the radial tilt of the objective lens 1 is suppressed, and the tilt is suppressed without increasing the fitting precision.

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, in an optical disk device such as a CD player, if the optical axis of an objective lens is tilted with respect to the light emitted from a semiconductor laser, optical aberration occurs, which causes a reduction in signal level, focus servo and tracking. There arises a problem that offset, crosstalk, and the like occur in the servo. In a DVD player or the like in which information is recorded at a high density, it is necessary to suppress the inclination of the optical axis of the objective lens more severely.

FIG. 4 is a side view of the objective lens driving device viewed from the tangential direction. Focus coil 2
, An electromagnetic force 13 acts in the focus direction. At this time, if the electromagnetic force 13 acts on a straight line parallel to the z-axis passing through the support center O of the elastic support means 5, the objective lens 1 does not tilt, but the focus coil 2, the elastic support means 5,
Due to the mounting error of the magnet 8 and the yoke 9, the electromagnetic force 13 acts at a position shifted from the support center O in the tracking direction as shown in FIG. As a result, a moment about the support center O is generated, and radial tilt is generated as shown by a dotted line. If the spring constants of the elastic support means 5L and 5R are different due to a difference in the effective length and the outer diameter of the elastic support means 5L and 5R, the electromagnetic force 13 is parallel to the z-axis passing through the support center O. Even when working on a straight line, radial tilt occurs. Similarly, when the amounts of the damping agents 7L and 7R are different or the magnetic field of the magnet 8 is not uniform, radial tilt also occurs.

The effective length difference was set to 50 μm or less, the magnets 8 were magnetized individually, and the displacement between the center of support and the point of action of the electromagnetic force was eliminated, thereby suppressing tilt.

In FIG. 5A, assuming that a radial tilt occurs in the holder 4a, the support position of the holder 4a, which is one end of the elastic support means 5a, is displaced by δa compared to before the occurrence of the tilt. In FIG. 5B, if a radial tilt having the same size as that of FIG. 5A occurs, the support position of the holder 4b of the elastic support means 5b is displaced by δb. At this time, the relationship between δa and δb is δa> δb, and if an attempt is made to generate the same amount of tilt, a small objective lens driving device requires a small moment. In other words, if the objective lens driving device becomes smaller, the rotational spring constant around the y-axis of the system becomes smaller, and radial tilt is more likely to occur.

As the size and thickness of the apparatus are reduced, recording and reproduction of a high-density optical disk requires further increasing the assembly accuracy and suppressing tilt. However, it is becoming very difficult to increase the tilt accuracy with the current mechanical accuracy assembly. In addition, the yoke has to be fixed directly to the optical base in order to reduce the thickness, and in such a case, the relative positional relationship between the coil and the magnet is greatly shifted by adjusting the tilt of the objective lens. There is also.

When the magnet 8 fixed to the yoke 9 moves in the tracking direction, the point of action of the electromagnetic force 13 also moves in the tracking direction (see FIG. 4), and the radial tilt amount of the objective lens 1 changes.
