Driving mechanism and optical equipment

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,
• the abutting portion includes at least two of a first pin and a second pin provided along the first direction,
• the first driving member includes a first inclined face that engages with the first pin and a third inclined face that engages with the second pin, and
• the second driving member includes a second inclined face that engages with the first pin and a fourth inclined face that engages with the second pin.

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, and
• the abutting portion includes a slope inclined relative to the first direction, and at least two of the abutting portion are provided along the first direction.

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,
• the first abutting portion includes a first inclined face that is inclined relative to the first direction,
• the second abutting portion includes a second inclined face that is inclined relative to the first direction, and
• the third abutting portion includes a slit provided in a second direction which is orthogonal to the first direction.

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,
• 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, and
• at least one of the driving members includes a shaft portion that is driven to turn relative to the fixed member, and the driving force transmission member turns together with the shaft portion, and retains the engaging portion to be turnable relative to the shaft portion and movable in a radial direction with respect to the shaft 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,
• 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, and
• at least one of the driving members is capable of moving the driving force transmission member in a straight line, and the driving force transmission member retains the engaging portion to be movable in a direction orthogonal to the straight line.
