1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an optical element holding device configured to hold an optical element such as a collimator lens, an optical element moving device, and an optical pickup apparatus.
2. Description of the Related Art
A common optical pickup apparatus reads/writes information from/to an optical disc by irradiating an information recording layer of the optical disc with a laser beam and receiving the laser beam reflected by the information recording layer, i.e., returning light.
A spherical aberration occurs according to the thickness of a cover layer covering an information recording layer, depending on the standard of an optical disc. Further, different spherical aberrations occur even in one optical disc of a certain standard if the disc has multiple information recording layers, because the position of an information recording layer relative to a cover layer varies depending on which information recording layer is subjected to read/write operations.
An objective lens for CD/DVD has a function of correcting spherical aberration by diffractive annular zones provided in a surface of the lens. However, since an optical disc of the BD standard, for example, employs an objective lens of high NA, it is difficult to correct spherical aberration caused by the objective lens.
To cope with this, such spherical aberration is corrected by moving a collimator lens placed in the midway of the optical path of a laser beam, by a predetermined amount. This feature will be described with reference to
A conventional optical element moving device 100 will be described with reference to
The optical element moving device 100 shown in
The feed shaft 105 is a screw-shaped member having a thread groove in its periphery, and a nut 107 made of a resin material is screwed to the feed shaft 105. In addition, plate-shaped nut holding portions 108 and 109 are placed at the −Y direction-side end portion of the element holding portion 101. The nut holding portions 108 and 109 are configured to sandwich the nut 107 from both sides in the X directions with the feed shaft 105 inserted therein.
When the feed shaft 105 is rotated by a drive force of a stepping motor 106 with the above configuration, the nut 107 is moved in conjunction with the rotation. Then, the nut 107 presses any one of the nut holding portions 108 and 109 to move the element holding portion 101 in the X directions by a predetermined amount.
There is a slight play between the feed shaft 105 and the nut 107. In this state, the nut 107 is not fixed to the feed shaft 105 and thus backlash occurs therebetween. Due to this backlash, the position of the collimator lens 104 held by the element holding portion 101 might not be fixed. To solve this, a spring 110 configured to press the element holding portion 101 in the +X direction is inserted on the guide shaft 102 at a position on a −X side of the element holding portion 101. This allows the nut holding portion 108 to press the nut 107 in the +X direction, which removes the play between the feed shaft 105 and the nut 107, suppresses the above-described backlash, and thereby fixes the position of the collimator lens 104.
However, the optical element moving device 100 of the above configuration might cause a failure due to the employment of the nut 107. Specifically, when the nut 107 is made to strike against a −X direction-side or +X direction-side end portion to move the element holding portion 101 back to its initial position, the nut 107 sometimes bites the thread groove of the feed shaft 105 at the end portion and cannot escape therefrom. In addition, the feed shaft 105 is set slightly longer than the movable range of the element holding portion 101 to have enough length to get the element holding portion 101 back to its initial position. With this configuration, the stepping motor 106 keeps applying a driving force to the feed shaft 105 for a while even after the element holding portion 101 is moved to an origin detection position if the element holding portion 101 is placed near the initial position. In this case, the nut 107 keeps pressing the nut holding portions 108 and 109 while this drive force is applied, which makes the nut 107 bite the feed shaft 105.
Further, as shown in
Furthermore, the employment of the nut 107 requires multiple parts such as the nut holding portions 108 and 109 and the spring 110, which complicates assembly work.
A structure using a spring instead of the above nut is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2010-165445 (Patent Document 1). Referring to FIGS. 7 and 8 of Patent Document 1, the torsion coil spring 80 is attached to the lens holder 62, and a side surface of the torsion coil spring 80 at a position near its leading end portion engages with the groove of the feed screw 63. This configuration enables a mechanism of moving the collimator lens 61 without a nut, and thus avoids the problems caused by the nut.
However, with the invention described in Patent Document 1, the mounting of the torsion coil spring to the optical pickup apparatus is sometimes not easy. Specifically, referring to FIGS. 11A and 11B and their description of Patent Document 1, the torsion coil spring 80 has one end being in contact with the feed screw 63 and the other end fixed by a second press-fix portion 72. Hence, when attached to the optical pickup apparatus, the lens holder 62 needs to be incorporated in the housing of the optical pickup apparatus with such shape of the torsion coil spring 80 kept. This work is very complicated and might reduce work efficiency.
The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances. An objective of the present invention is to provide an optical element holding device in which a spring is in contact with a feed shaft with a simple configuration, an optical element moving device, and an optical pickup apparatus.

An optical element moving device of the present invention comprises: a feed shaft placed along an optical path of a laser beam, having a helical thread groove in a surface thereof, and configured to be rotated by a drive force of a motor; a guide shaft placed substantially parallel with the feed shaft; an optical element holding portion placed to be movable along the guide shaft while a lens is fixed thereon and the guide shaft is inserted therein or engages therewith; and a spring fixed on the optical element holding portion, formed by winding a wire around an axis directed toward the feed shaft, and having a side surface of the wire in contact with the thread groove of the feed shaft.
An optical pickup apparatus of the present invention comprises: a light-emitting element configured to emit a laser beam; an objective lens configured to focus the laser beam on an information recording layer of an optical disc; a light-receiving element configured to receive returning light which is the laser beam reflected by the information recording layer; and the optical element moving device described above configured to move a collimator lens being the lens along an optical path of the laser beam.

An element holding device 50, an optical element moving device 11, and an optical pickup apparatus 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to
In this embodiment, the optical pickup apparatus 10 is configured to read/write information.
Referring to
The general function of the optical pickup apparatus 10 is to read/write information from/to an optical disc by irradiating an information recording layer of the optical disc with a laser beam and receiving the laser beam having been reflected by the information recording layer. In this respect, the optical disc from/to which information is read/written may have a single information recording layer or, alternatively, have multiple (two or more) information recording layers.
Meanwhile, a blue-violet (blue) laser beam with a wavelength range of 395 nm to 420 nm (with a wavelength of 405 nm, for example) is used in the BD standard, a red laser beam with a wavelength range of 645 nm to 675 nm (with a wavelength of 650 nm, for example) is used in the DVD standard, and an infrared laser beam with a wavelength range of 765 nm to 805 nm (with a wavelength of 780 nm, for example) is used in the CD standard.
In the following description, X directions indicate directions parallel with the optical path of a laser beam passing through a collimator lens 22, Y directions indicate directions orthogonal to the X directions on a plane where guide shafts 46 and 48 are placed, and Z directions indicate directions orthogonal to the X directions and the Y directions. In addition, a principal surface of a housing 12, where a concave portion in which elements constituting the optical pickup apparatus are incorporated can be observed, is referred to as a back surface, and a surface opposed to the back surface is referred to as a front surface.
The optical pickup apparatus 10 of this embodiment is formed by placing various elements at their predetermined positions of the housing 12 made by integral resin molding. In this respect, the elements to be housed in the optical pickup apparatus include electronic components and optical elements through which a laser beam passes or on which a laser beam is reflected. For example, in
The housing 12 is made by injection molding of a resin material, such as PPS (Poly Phenylene Sulfide Resin), or the like. The housing 12 includes a substantially plate-shaped bottom surface portion 15 and a sidewall portion 13 made by protruding an edge portion of the bottom surface portion 15 in a thickness direction of the housing 12. Moreover, guide holes 14 in which to insert a guide shaft are provided at a +X direction-side edge portion of the housing 12, whereas a guide groove 16 with which a guide shaft engages is provided at a −X direction-side edge portion of the housing 12. As a material of the housing 12, die-casting alloy made mainly of aluminum (Al), magnesium (Mg), or zinc (Zn) may be used instead.
Although not illustrated, an inner sidewall portion is also provided inside the optical pickup apparatus 10 to protrude in the Z directions from the bottom surface portion 15. Components constituting the optical pickup apparatus 10 are fixedly attached to the sidewall portion 13 or the inner sidewall portion.
Shown in the drawings are only components constituting the element holding device 50 and the optical element moving device 11 which are the gist of this embodiment. Specifically, the guide shafts 46 and 48, the collimator lens 22, the element holding device 50, a wire 52, a feed shaft 44, and a stepping motor 54 are housed in the housing 12. Further, various elements to be described later with reference to
The optical elements included in the optical pickup apparatus 10 will be described with reference to
The first optical system 40 of the BD standard includes the laser device 38, a diffraction grating 31, the semitransparent mirror 30, the collimator lens 22, a reflecting mirror 20, an objective lens 28, the AS plate 34, and the PDIC 36.
The laser device 38 is made by packaging light-emitting elements configured to emit a laser beam with which to irradiate a disc 26 of the BD standard. In this respect, the laser device 38 may be made as a so-called CAN-type package or, alternatively, made as a lead frame-type package.
The diffraction grating 31 is configured to split a laser beam having been emitted by the laser device 38 into a zero-order diffracted light beam, a positive first-order diffracted light beam, and a negative first-order diffracted light beam.
The semitransparent mirror 30 is configured to reflect a laser beam having been emitted by the laser device 38 and passed through the diffraction grating 31 as well as to transmit a laser beam having been reflected by the disc 26 (returning light).
The collimator lens 22 is configured to convert a laser beam having been reflected by the semitransparent mirror 30 into a parallel light beam. In addition, the collimator lens 22 can be displaced along an optical axis, and is configured to correct spherical aberration caused by a cover layer covering an information recording layer of the disc 26. The collimator lens 22 is moved while being incorporated in the optical element moving device 11 to be described later with reference to
The reflecting mirror 20 is configured to receive a laser beam having been transmitted through the collimator lens 22, and to reflect the received laser beam so that the laser beam can proceed at right angle to the information recording layer of the disc 26.
The objective lens 28 is placed right above the reflecting mirror 20, and is configured to focus a laser beam having been reflected by the reflecting mirror 20 on a signal recording layer of the disc 26.
The AS plate 34 is configured to give aberration for servomechanism to a laser beam having been reflected by the disc 26 and passed through the optical elements. As will be described later, the AS plate 34 is not an essential component, but there is also a model without the AS plate 34.
The PDIC 36 is a photodiode integrated circuit element for signal detection and functions as a photodetector. The PDIC 36 is configured to generate a light-reception output containing an information signal component as well as a servo signal component used for focus servo and tracking servo, upon reception of a laser beam for BD.
The read/write operations of the first optical system 40 are performed as follows.
First, a laser beam having been emitted by the laser device 38 passes through the diffraction grating 31 to be split into a zero-order diffracted light beam, a positive first-order diffracted light beam, and a negative first-order diffracted light beam. Such split is carried out to allow the PDIC 36 to obtain a servo signal used for focus servo and tracking servo. Then, the laser beam having been thus split is reflected by the semitransparent mirror 30, is then converted into a parallel light beam by the collimator lens 22, and is then reflected by the reflecting mirror 20 to proceed toward the disc 26 in a direction perpendicular thereto. Thereafter, the laser beam is focused on the signal recording layer of the disc 26 by refraction and diffraction caused by the objective lens 28.
The laser beam reflected by the signal recording layer of the disc 26 (returning light) passes through the objective lens 28, the reflecting mirror 20, and the collimator lens 22 and then reaches the semitransparent mirror 30. The laser beam having been transmitted through the semitransparent mirror 30 is given aberration by the AS plate 34 and then reaches the PDIC 36. Thereafter, in the PDIC 36, information is read, and focus servo and tracking servo are carried out based on the read information.
Next, description will be given of the second optical system 42 applied to discs of the DVD standard and the CD standard. Components of the second optical system 42 which are the same as those of the first optical system 40 will not be described.
The second optical system 42 includes the laser device 39, diffraction grating 33, the semitransparent mirror 32, collimator lens 27, reflecting mirror 24, objective lens 29, and the PDIC 37.
The read/write operations of the disc 26 in the second optical system 42 are performed as follows. First, a laser beam of the CD standard or the DVD standard is emitted by the laser device 39. The laser beam having been emitted by the laser device 39 passes through the diffraction grating 33 and is then reflected by the semitransparent mirror 32. The laser beam is then transmitted through the collimator lens 27, is then reflected by the reflecting mirror 24 so that the laser beam can proceed in a direction perpendicular to the information recording layer of the disc 26, and is then focused on the information recording layer of the disc 26 by the objective lens 29.
The laser beam having been reflected by the information recording layer of the disc 26, i.e., returning light, passes through the objective lens 29, is then reflected by the reflecting mirror 24, is then transmitted through the collimator lens 27 and the semitransparent mirror 32, and is then incident on a light-receiving surface of the PDIC 37. Thereafter, in the PDIC 37, information is read, and focus servo and tracking servo are carried out based on the read information.
Note that, not all the optical elements described above are essential. For example, the first optical system 40 may be formed only of the laser device 38, the semitransparent mirror 30, the collimator lens 22, the objective lens 28, and the PDIC 36. Further, the PDIC 36 may be built in the laser device 38. The same applies to the second optical system 42. The second optical system 42 may be formed of the laser device 39, the semitransparent mirror 32, the PDIC 37, the collimator lens 27, the reflecting mirror 24, and the objective lens 29.
The configuration of the optical element moving device 11 will be described with reference to
The optical element moving device 11 includes: the screw-shaped feed shaft 44 placed parallel with the optical path of a laser beam; the guide shafts 46 and 48 placed parallel with the feed shaft 44; the element holding device 50 moving along the guide shafts 46 and 48 while holding the collimator lens 22; and the wire 52 fixed on the element holding device 50 and wound toward the feed shaft 44.
The feed shaft 44 is made by forming a helical thread groove at a predetermined pitch in an outer peripheral surface of a rod-shaped member made of metal such as stainless steel, brass, or free-cutting steel. The feed shaft 44 is placed in such a manner that its axis is directed parallel with a laser beam passing through the collimator lens 22. The feed shaft 44 has a +X direction-side end connected to the stepping motor 54 and a −X direction-side end held rotatably. The stepping motor 54 is driven with a drive signal sent from the outside, and the feed shaft 44 is rotated by a predetermined amount by a drive force of the stepping motor 54.
The guide shaft 46 is a rod-shaped member made of metal such as stainless steel. The guide shaft 46 has an intermediate portion inserted in a hole portion of the element holding device 50, a +X direction-side end housed in a housing portion 56 constituting a portion of the housing 12, and a −X direction-side end housed in a housing portion 58. The two ends of the guide shaft 46 are fixedly attached to the respective housing portions 56 and 58 with an adhesive.
Convex portions 60 are each made by protruding the bottom surface portion 15 of the housing 12 in the +Z direction. The convex portions 60 are placed below the guide shaft 46 at positions on the +X side and −X side respectively of the element holding device 50. Referring to
The guide shaft 48 is made by forming a portion of the housing 12 in the form of a shaft, and a guide portion 50D of the element holding device 50 engages with the guide shaft 48. To put it differently, the guide shaft 48 is made by allowing a portion of the sidewall portion 13 of the housing 12 to protrude in the −Y direction to extend continuously in the X directions. Note that, although the guide shaft 48 may be made separately from the housing 12 as in the case of the guide shaft 46, forming the portion of the housing 12 into the guide shaft 48 brings about an effect of reduction of components.
The feed shaft 44 and the guide shafts 46 and 48 are placed parallel with one another when viewed in the Z directions.
The element holding device 50 has the principal surface on/through which a laser beam is incident/transmitted and configured to hold the collimator lens 22 facing the X directions, a −Y direction-side edge portion in which to insert the guide shaft 46, and a +Y direction-side edge portion engaging with the guide shaft 48. With this configuration, the element holding device 50 is housed in the housing 12 to be movable in the X directions. The structure of the element holding device 50 will be described later with reference to
The wire 52 is placed at a side surface of a −Y direction (a direction toward the feed shaft 44) side edge portion of the element holding device 50. A side surface of an end portion of the wire 52 is in contact with the thread groove of the feed shaft 44. This feature will be described later with reference to
Spherical aberration is corrected by moving the optical element moving device 11 of the above configuration in the X directions. As has been described above, spherical aberration caused by a cover layer of an optical disc is different according to the standard of the disc; further, spherical aberration caused in an optical disc of the BD standard having multiple information recording layers is different from one information recording layer to another. Even in these cases, it is possible to correct such spherical aberration and to focus a laser beam on the target information recording layer properly by allowing the optical element moving device 11 to move the collimator lens 22 to a predetermined position.
With reference to
The configuration of the element holding device 50 will be described with reference to
Referring to
More specifically, the guide portion 50D is in the form of a groove (the letter “U”) which is open in the +Y direction. The element holding device 50 is moved in the X directions by allowing this portion to engage with the guide shaft 48 shown in
The lens fixing portion 50C has an opening to which the collimator lens 22 having a lens surface in the X directions (an axis direction of the collimator lens) is fixedly attached.
The arm portion 50B has one end connected to the lens fixing portion 50C and the other end connected to the insertion portion 50A. Connecting the insertion portion 50A and the lens fixing portion 50C to each other through the arm portion 50B makes it possible to place the lens fixing portion 50C for fixing the collimator lens 22 at a predetermined position inside the optical pickup apparatus 10 regardless of space limitations.
The insertion portion 50A is in the form of a rectangular solid which is long in the X directions, and has a −X direction-side end portion (a side surface perpendicular to the optical axis direction and its vicinity) connected to the lens fixing portion 50C through the arm portion 50B. In addition, the insertion portion 50A has the hole portion 50H cylindrically penetrating the insertion portion 50A in the X directions. When in use, the guide shaft 46 shown in
The wire fixing portion 50E is made by cylindrically protruding a portion near a central portion of a −Y direction-side side surface of the insertion portion 50A integrally in the −Y direction. In this respect, the −Y direction-side surface of the insertion portion 50A is parallel with the optical axis and located on a side opposed to a side where the collimator lens is placed. The wire fixing portion 50E is configured to fix the wire 52, which is wound in the form of a coil, on the element holding device 50 with the wire 52 inserted on the wire fixing portion 50E.
In this embodiment, the insertion portion 50A and the lens fixing portion 50C are connected to each other through the arm portion 50B. This configuration can make the insertion portion 50A and the lens fixing portion 50C farther from each other than a configuration where the lens fixing portion 50C is directly connected to the insertion portion 50A. In addition, the arm portion 50B has a lateral width smaller than those of the lens fixing portion 50C and the insertion portion 50A. With this configuration, even if vibration acts on the insertion portion 50A when the element holding device is in use, the vibration is reduced by the arm portion 50B and hence the reduced vibration acts on the lens fixing portion 50C. Incidentally, the element holding device 50 may have a shape other than the shape described above. Other shapes will be described concretely later with reference to
Referring to
To put it differently, the wire 52 may be regarded as a spring. Specifically, the wound portion 52A of the wire 52 is a coil spring having an axis directed in the Y directions, and a portion of the wire 52 located on the −Y side of the wound portion 52A (i.e., the linear portion 52C, the contact portion 52D, and the bent portion 52E) is a torsion spring. Although the wire 52 is wound circularly in this embodiment, the wire 52 may be wound in the form of a polygon such as a triangle or a rectangle.
In this embodiment, the wire 52 has, at a position near its −Y-side (an end surface protruding from the insertion portion) end, the bent portion 52E made by bending an end portion of the contact portion 52D at right angle in the +Y direction. With this configuration, when the wire 52 is inserted onto the wire fixing portion 50E, the bent portion 52E of the wire 52 is housed in a slit 50G and thereby fixed therein. Thus, unwanted deformation of the contact portion 52D can be prevented and the degree of deformation can be optimized according to the diameter and type of the wire. This feature will be described later with reference to
The wire fixing portion 50E is substantially cylindrical, and has the slit 50G which divides the wire fixing portion 50E at its central portion. In addition, lock portions 50F are formed by protruding two −Y direction-side edges of an outer peripheral portion of the wire fixing portion 50E respectively in the +X and −X directions. In

When the feed shaft 44 is rotated by a drive force of the stepping motor 54, a rotation force of the feed shaft 44 is transmitted to the element holding device 50 through the contact portion 52D of the wire 52, which slides on and in contact with the thread groove 44A. Thereby, the element holding device 50 is moved in the X directions by a predetermined amount.
In this embodiment, the bent portion 52E and bent portion 52E′ being leading end portions of the wire 52 are housed in the slit 50G. With this configuration, when the feed shaft 44 is rotated and a force to move the wire 52 in the +X direction acts on the wire 52, the bent portion 52E is brought into contact with a +X-side sidewall of the slit 50G, whereby excess deformation of the contact portion 52D can be suppressed.
Referring to
With reference to
As has been described with reference to
Referring to
However, if the contact portion 52D has the free end as described above, failure occurs in which the wire 52 is excessively deformed at a portion of the contact portion 52D as shown in
As a countermeasure against this, in this embodiment, the bent portion 52E is made by bending the upper end portion of the contact portion 52D in the +Y direction, and the bent portions 52E and 52E′ thus made are housed in the slit 50G as shown in
Thereby, the contact portion 52D protrudes in the −Y direction more than the wire fixing portion 50E in order to contact the feed shaft 44, whereas the bent portions 52E and 52E′ are inserted in the slit 50G. Thus, excess deformation of the contact portion 52D in the ±X directions is restricted by the slit 50G while the contact portion 52D can be deformed in the Y directions.
With the above configuration, excess deformation of the contact portion 52D is suppressed. Specifically, as shown in
Further, although the element holding device 50 shown in
Furthermore, although the element holding device 50 shown in
Referring to
In the element holding device 50 shown in
It should be noted that the shapes of the element holding device 50 described above are merely an example, and the element holding device 50 may have another shape as long as the relative positional relationship between the lens fixing portion 50C and the insertion portion 50A is kept.
Another embodiment of the element holding device 50 will be described with reference to
According to the present invention, since the element holding portion configured to hold the optical element in such a way that the element is movable is in contact with the feed shaft through the wire. This achieves the configuration without the nut which has been described in the description of the related art, and suppresses noise and vibration which have been heretofore caused by the employment of the nut.
Further, as compared with the conventional apparatus using the nut, the present invention eliminates the need of components in contact with a nut, a spring to remove backlash, and the like. This reduces the number of components, and thus simplifies the structure and improves the reliability.
Furthermore, according to the present invention, a portion of the wire is housed in the housing area provided to the leading end portion of the fixing portion configured to fix the wire. This restricts the movement of the leading end portion of the wire, and thus suppresses unexpected deformation of the wire.
