Abstract
To provide a driving mechanism with which a reduction in size is possible. A driving mechanism comprising: an optical component that is provided to be movable; a first driving member that is movable in a first direction; a second driving member that is movable in the first direction independently of the first driving member; and an abutting portion that is provided at the optical component and abuts against the first driving member and the second driving member, wherein, the optical component is moved by driving force of the first driving member and the second driving member abutting against the abutting portion.
Claims31
A driving mechanism comprising:
- an optical component that is provided to be movable;
- a first driving member that is movable in a first direction;
- a second driving member that is movable in the first direction independently of the first driving member;
- and
- an abutting portion that is provided at the optical component and abuts against the first driving member and the second driving member, wherein,
- the optical component is moved by driving force of the first driving member and the second driving member abutting against the abutting portion.
A driving mechanism of an imaging element, comprising:
- a fixed member;
- a moving member at which the imaging element is mounted and that is movable relative to the fixed member;
- a first driving member that is movable in a first direction relative to the fixed member;
- a second driving member that is movable in the first direction relative to the fixed member, independently of the first driving member;
- a third driving member that is movable in the first direction relative to the fixed member, independently of the first driving member and the second driving member;
- and
- a first abutting portion, a second abutting portion and a third abutting portion that are provided at the moving member, the first abutting portion abutting against the first driving member, the second abutting portion abutting against the second driving member, and the third abutting portion abutting against the third driving member, wherein
- the moving member is moved by driving force of the first driving member abutting against the first abutting portion, driving force of the second driving member abutting against the second abutting portion, and driving force of the third driving member abutting against the third abutting portion.
A driving mechanism of an imaging element, comprising:
- a fixed member;
- and
- a moving member at which the imaging element is mounted and that is movable relative to the fixed member;
- wherein
- three engaging portions are provided at the moving member, and
- three driving members are provided at the fixed member, the driving members being driveable independently of one another and transmitting driving force to the respective engaging portions via driving force transmission members.
