ACTUATOR FOR CAMERA AND CAMERA MODULE INCLUDING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240210789 titled 'ACTUATOR FOR CAMERA AND CAMERA MODULE INCLUDING THE SAME
The actuator described in the patent application consists of a base with three moving frames stacked on top of it. An image sensor is mounted on the first moving frame, and each frame is driven by shape memory alloy wires located outside their edges.
- The actuator includes a base and three moving frames.
- An image sensor is mounted on the first moving frame.
- Shape memory alloy wires are used to drive each moving frame.
- The first and second frames are driven in perpendicular directions.
- The third frame is rotatably driven based on the optical axis.
Potential Applications: - Robotics - Camera stabilization systems - Medical devices - Automotive technology
Problems Solved: - Precise control of movement in multiple directions - Compact design for space-constrained applications
Benefits: - Improved accuracy and precision in actuator movement - Versatile applications in various industries - Efficient use of space in compact devices
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Actuator Technology for Robotics and Imaging Systems This technology can be used in robotic systems for precise movement control and in imaging systems for stabilization and focus adjustment. The market implications include improved performance and reliability in these applications.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the use of shape memory alloy wires improve the actuator's performance? - Shape memory alloy wires provide efficient and precise movement control due to their unique properties. 2. What are the potential cost implications of implementing this actuator technology in commercial products? - The cost may vary depending on the scale of production and the specific requirements of the application.
Original Abstract Submitted
an actuator includes: a base; first, second, and third moving frames stacked on the base; an image sensor mounted on the first moving frame; a first sensor driving portion including first frame driving members and first shape memory alloy wires disposed outside an edge of the first moving frame to drive the first moving frame in a first direction perpendicular to the optical axis; a second sensor driving portion including second frame driving members and second shape memory alloy wires disposed outside an edge of the second moving frame to drive the second moving frame in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction; and a third sensor driving portion including third frame driving members and third shape memory alloy wires disposed outside an edge of the third moving frame to rotatably drive the third moving frame based on the optical axis.
