high stability and simplicity for the optical lens driving system
ionic polymer-metal composite(IPMC)
a new kind of intelligent material is adopted to design a miniature optical lens actuator
and its output force
displacement
and response speed are investigated respectively. For the purpose of linear driving
two kinds of actuating structures
the petal-shaped and annular structures are determined. Then
IPMC is prepared by chemical reduction method and five kinds of petal-shaped and annular actuators are manufactured by laser cutting and their performances are tested. The performances of the actuators with different structure parameters are analyzed using an equivalent thermal model via software FEA. The analytical results coincide well with the experimental ones with error less than 10%
and the displacement performance of petal-shaped actuator is better than that of the annular one. Under actuation voltage of 3 V
both actuators can get displacement over 200 μm. The annular actuator with an inner radius of 2 mm and the petal-shaped actuator with 8 petals achieve better performances in both displacement and response speed.
