Abstract
An optical element driving mechanism includes a first movable part, a fixed assembly and a first driving assembly. The first movable part includes an optical element, and the first movable part is movable relative to the fixed assembly. The first driving assembly is configured to drive the first movable part to move relative to the fixed assembly. The optical element driving mechanism further includes a strengthening assembly configured to strengthen the fixed assembly to bear a force along a first axis.
Claims19
An optical element driving mechanism, comprising:
- a first movable part, including an optical element;
- a fixed assembly, wherein the first movable part is movable relative to the fixed assembly;
- a first driving assembly, configured to drive the first movable part to move relative to the fixed assembly;
- wherein the optical element driving mechanism further includes a strengthening assembly configured to strengthen the fixed assembly to bear a force along a first axis;
- wherein the fixed assembly includes an outer frame and a base;
- the outer frame is configured to be assembled to the base;
- the outer frame includes a top wall extending along a third axis, and the third axis is perpendicular to the first axis;
- wherein the strengthening assembly includes:
- a first side wall, extending from the top wall;
- a second side wall, extending from the top wall;
- and
- a third side wall, extending from the top wall;
- wherein before the outer frame is assembled to the base, the first side wall, the second side wall and the third side wall extend along the first axis;
- wherein when viewed along the third axis, the second side wall and the third side wall are located on opposite sides of the top wall;
- wherein when viewed along the third axis, and after the outer frame is assembled to the base, the second side wall having a plate-shaped structure is not parallel to the third side wall having a plate-shaped structure;
- wherein the strengthening assembly further includes:
- a first supporting portion, corresponding to the first side wall;
- a second supporting portion corresponding to the second side wall;
- and
- a third supporting portion, corresponding to the third side wall;
- in the first axis, a shortest distance between the first side wall and the first supporting portion is smaller than a shortest distance between the fixed assembly and an optical module corresponding to the optical element driving mechanism.
