Abstract

The present disclosure provides an actuating device and a method for controlling an SMA actuator wire. The actuating device includes: a first support structure and a second support structure that are spaced from each other to define a movement space; a movable element received in the movement space; an SMA actuator wire configured to drive the movable element to move in the movement space; a detection element configured to detect movement information; and a control element configured to adjust a power state of the SMA actuator wire based on the movement information in such a manner that the SMA actuator wire is in a loose state after the SMA actuator wire drives the movable element to be fixed to the second support structure. This can alleviate the technical problem in the related art that the SMA actuator wire is prone to failure when the lens is suffering collision or falling.
