Camera assembly and user equipment

Abstract

The application provides a camera assembly and a mobile terminal. For an optical anti-shake motor with large electromagnetic radiation, such as an SMA motor, the SMA is arranged on the light-collecting side of the lens assembly. Since the image sensor is located on the imaging side of the lens assembly, the SMA motor and the image sensor have a relatively long physical distance therebetween. Thus, the electromagnetic interference of the SMA motor on the image sensor is reduced.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electronics and communications, in particular to the technical field of optical imaging. BACKGROUND

[0002] In order to improve the picture quality when the camera of the mobile terminal is shooting, the optical image stabilization (OIS) technology can be used in the camera to compensate the movement of the camera itself.

[0003] The optical image stabilization assembly with the optical image stabilization motor in the mobile terminal (for example, a mobile phone) detects the shaking through the gyroscope inside the mobile terminal, and then moves the lens assembly in the opposite direction through the optical image stabilization motor to compensate the image blur phenomenon caused by the shaking of the mobile terminal during exposure. However, when the optical image stabilization motor is working, the electrical signals such as pulse width modulation (PWM) signals passing through the SMA wire will interfere with the image sensor, and the image sensor will have stripes on the picture taken, which affects the shooting effect of the camera.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION​​

[0069] In this application, the camera assembly is mainly arranged in the user equipment to enable the user equipment to have the functions of taking pictures and shooting videos. In order to collect the scene pictures of the outside world, the camera assembly usually includes a lens assembly, an auto-focus motor, an optical anti-shake motor, etc. An image sensor is arranged at a position opposite to the tail end of the lens assembly.

[0070] Image sensor: the image sensor is a device for converting optical signals into electronic signals. The light passing through the lens assembly is irradiated on the photosensitive surface of the image sensor, and the photosensitive elements on the photosensitive surface collect and record the information such as the light intensity of the light, thereby forming an image. The image sensor can also be referred to as an image sensor, a photosensitive chip, or a photosensitive element.

[0071] Lens assembly: the image sensor is located on the imaging side of the lens assembly, and the light from the outside world can be focused on the photosensitive surface of the image sensor through the lens assembly and form a clear image. Specifically, the photosensitive surface of the image sensor can be perpendicular to the optical axis of the lens assembly. The role of the lens assembly is to change the light path of the light from the outside world by using the refraction of the lens, so as to focus the scene picture of the outside world on the image sensor. Among them, the lens assembly usually includes one or more transparent optical lenses (i.e. lenses), which are arranged at different positions along the axial direction of the lens assembly (i.e. the direction of the optical axis of the lens assembly). When the outside light irradiated into the lens assembly advances along the optical axis of the lens assembly, it will be refracted when passing through different optical lenses, and finally focused on the photosensitive surface of the image sensor, so that the image sensor forms a clear image.

[0072] Focus motor (for example: auto focus (AF) motor): when the lens assembly realizes imaging, because the distance between the outside object and the lens assembly is different, when shooting different distances of outside objects, it is usually necessary to adjust the distance (i.e. image distance) between the optical lenses of the lens assembly and the image sensor, so as to ensure that the picture can be normally focused on the image sensor. The auto-focus motor can drive part or all of the lenses in the lens assembly to move back and forth along the optical axis direction of the lens assembly, so as to ensure that the light of the outside object can be focused on the image sensor after passing through the lens assembly, thereby forming a clear image. The auto-focus motor can be in the form of a ring or a frame structure and is arranged around the outer side of the lens assembly in the circumferential direction. In this way, the auto-focus motor will not affect the light transmission of the lens assembly when driving the lenses in the lens assembly to move.

[0073] Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) motor: when handheld shooting is adopted, the camera assembly can shake due to unstable hand holding, and the lens assembly inside the camera assembly will also shake, so that the imaging picture of the lens assembly is shaken. The optical image stabilization motor is directly or indirectly connected with the lens assembly, and compensates for the shaking of the camera assembly by controlling the reverse movement of the lens assembly. Specifically, the vibration of the hand can be detected by a sensor such as a gyroscope sensor, and converted into an electrical signal. After processing, the optical image stabilization motor moves parallel to the light-sensing surface of the image sensor to offset the imaging deviation and shaking phenomenon caused by hand shaking. Generally, the optical image stabilization motor can also be sleeved on the circumferential outer side of the lens assembly, so as to avoid affecting the normal light transmission of the lens assembly.

[0074] Drive wire: in the case of an SMA (Shape Memory Alloy) motor of the optical image stabilization motor, the drive wire of the SMA motor can be made of shape memory alloy (SMA) material, and can also be called SMA wire. When an electrical signal is input to the drive wire, the temperature changes compared to the state when no electrical signal is input, and the length of the drive wire also changes accordingly. When the length of the drive wire changes, the moving part of the optical image stabilization motor can be driven to produce displacement relative to the fixed part. For example: the length of some drive wires when energized is shorter than the length when not energized, that is, the drive wire is in a contracted state when energized. The electrical signal input to the drive wire can be a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) signal. The PWM signal is a high-frequency pulse signal, which will generate a large amount of electromagnetic wave radiation, and the electromagnetic wave radiation has a strong interference on the circuit in the image sensor 4.

[0075] The above is an explanation of various components involved in each embodiment of the camera assembly in the present application, so as to facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art. It should be noted that the components listed above are not necessarily included in the camera assembly in the present application.

[0076] The camera assembly provided by the present application sets the optical image stabilization motor on the light side of the lens assembly, thereby moving away from the image sensor, so that the optical image stabilization motor and the image sensor have a relatively far physical distance. Thus, the electromagnetic interference of the optical image stabilization motor on the image sensor is reduced. And this way is simple and easy to implement, the material cost is low, and the assembly process is simple and easy to mass produce.

[0077] The design scheme of the camera assembly in the present application can be applied in a user device with two or more camera assemblies to improve the user's shooting experience. In addition, the design scheme of the camera assembly in the present application can be applied in a periscopic camera module, and the optical anti-shake motor in the periscopic camera module generally adopts an SMA motor.

[0078] The various embodiments of the camera assembly provided in the present application are described below.

[0079] As shown in Figures 1 to 4 , the camera assembly provided in the present application includes an optical anti-shake motor 1, a housing 2, and a lens assembly 3, the optical anti-shake motor 1 and the lens assembly 3 are located inside the housing 2, one end of the housing 2 is provided with an opening 20, the lens assembly 3 collects light through the opening 20, the optical anti-shake motor 1 is located inside the end of the housing 2 provided with the opening 20, the optical anti-shake motor 1 is used to drive the lens assembly 3 to produce a compensation displacement, and the compensation displacement is used to compensate for the displacement generated when the lens assembly 3 shakes.

[0080] In a specific embodiment, the camera assembly further includes an image sensor 4, which is used to collect light passing through the lens assembly 3 and form an image. The image sensor 4 is located inside the housing 2 and at an end opposite to the opening 20.

[0081] In a specific embodiment, the optical anti-shake motor 1 can be various motors that will generate electromagnetic interference to the image sensor 4, for example, the optical anti-shake motor can be an SMA motor or a piezoelectric motor. In the case where the optical anti-shake motor adopts an SMA motor, the scheme of the present application can greatly reduce the stripe noise generated by the influence of the PWM signal of the SMA motor on the image sensor, and improve the imaging quality.

[0082] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the optical anti-shake motor 1 includes an anti-shake fixed part 11, an anti-shake moving part 12, and a driving wire 13 connected between the anti-shake fixed part 11 and the anti-shake moving part 12, the anti-shake fixed part 11 is connected to the inside of the end of the housing 2 provided with the opening 20, the driving wire 13 is used to drive the anti-shake moving part 12 to produce a compensation displacement, and the anti-shake moving part 12 is used to drive the lens assembly 3 to produce the compensation displacement.

[0083] As shown in Figures 1 to 4 , the anti-shake fixed part 11 and the anti-shake moving part 12 of the optical anti-shake motor 1 can be provided in a plate structure with a through hole, and the anti-shake moving part 11 and the anti-shake fixed part 12 are stacked together.

[0084] AsFigure 1 or Figure 3 As shown, the housing 2 includes an end plate 21 and a side plate 22 connected to the edge of the end plate 21, and the opening 20 is formed in the end plate 21.

[0085] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the fixed stabilizing component 11 of the optical image stabilization motor 1 is fixedly connected to the inner sidewall of the housing 2 at the end where the opening 20 is provided, or the fixed stabilizing component 11 of the optical image stabilization motor 1 is movably connected to the inner sidewall of the housing 2 at the end where the opening 20 is provided. The stabilizing component 12 is located inside the fixed stabilizing component 11. The through holes of the stabilizing component 12 and the fixed stabilizing component 11 overlap. The through holes of the stabilizing component 12 and the fixed stabilizing component 11 can also overlap with the opening 20 of the housing 2. In this way, neither the stabilizing component 12 nor the fixed stabilizing component 11 will block the light entering the lens assembly 3, and the lens assembly 3 can pass through the through holes of the stabilizing component 12 and the fixed stabilizing component 11 when moving. Of course, the lens assembly 3 can also pass through the opening 20 of the housing 2 when moving.

[0086] like Figure 1 or Figure 3 As shown, the drive wire 13 can be connected to the opposite side of the stationary image stabilizer 11 and the moving image stabilizer 12. A support spring or tab can also be connected to the opposite side of the stationary image stabilizer 11 and the moving image stabilizer 12. The support spring or tab connected between the stationary image stabilizer 11 and the moving image stabilizer 12 facilitates the movement of the moving image stabilizer 12 relative to the stationary image stabilizer 11 and limits the distance the moving image stabilizer 12 relative to the stationary image stabilizer 11 can travel. Of course, the support spring or tab can also be located in other positions, as long as it serves to support the image stabilizer 12 and the lens module 3.

[0087] In one embodiment of the optical image stabilization motor 1, the immovable stabilization component 11 of the optical image stabilization motor 1 is fixedly connected to the inner sidewall of the housing 2 at the end where the opening 20 is located. Specifically, the immovable stabilization component 11 of the optical image stabilization motor 1 is fixedly connected to the inner sidewall of the end plate 21, or the immovable stabilization component 11 of the optical image stabilization motor 1 is fixedly connected to the inner sidewall of the side plate 22 near the end plate 21.

[0088] like Figure 1 or Figure 3As shown, in another embodiment of the optical image stabilization motor 1, the fixed stabilization component 11 of the optical image stabilization motor 1 is movably connected to the inner wall of the housing 2 at the end where the opening 20 is provided. Specifically, the fixed stabilization component 11 of the optical image stabilization motor 1 is movably connected to the inner wall of the end plate 21, or the fixed stabilization component 11 of the optical image stabilization motor 1 is movably connected to the inner wall of the side plate 22 near the end plate 21. For example, the fixed stabilization component 11 of the optical image stabilization motor 1 is movably connected to the inner wall of the end plate 21 via a support spring or spring sheet 7, or the fixed stabilization component 11 of the optical image stabilization motor 1 is movably connected to the inner wall of the side plate 22 near the end plate 21 via a support spring or spring sheet.

[0089] In one embodiment of the camera assembly, the housing 2 further includes a base plate 23, which is connected to the edge of the side plate 22 and is located at the end opposite to the end plate 21.

[0090] like Figure 1 or Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment of the camera assembly, the camera assembly may further include a circuit board 5, on which the image sensor 4 may be disposed. The circuit board 5 is located on the image side of the lens assembly 3, and at the end of the housing 2 opposite to the end plate 21. The circuit board 5 may be disposed on the inner side of the base plate 23. Alternatively, the circuit board 5 may be located on the outer side of the base plate 23, which has an outlet in front of the image sensor 4. Light from the outside passes through the lens assembly 3, through the outlet, and illuminates the image sensor 4.

[0091] For simplicity, the circuit board 5 can serve as the base plate 23 of the housing 2. This eliminates the need for a separate base plate.

[0092] like Figure 1 or Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment of the camera assembly, the lens assembly 3 includes a lens mount 31 and one or more optical lenses 32 installed inside the lens mount 31.

[0093] like Figure 1 or Figure 3As shown in FIG. 1, in an embodiment of the camera module, the camera module further comprises a focus motor 6 for driving the lens assembly 3 to move to achieve focus. The focus motor 6 is located inside the housing 2 and between the bottom plate 23 (or the circuit board 5) and the optical image stabilization motor 1. The electromagnetic interference of the focus motor 6 on the image sensor 4 is less than that of the optical image stabilization motor 1. The focus motor 6 can be a voice coil motor (VCM) or a piezoelectric motor. The focus motor 6 can drive the lens assembly 3 to move along the direction of the optical axis or along the direction parallel to the optical axis, thereby achieving focus.

[0094] As shown in FIG. 1, the distance between the optical image stabilization motor 1 and the circuit board 5 is L1. Figure 5

[0095] The side plate 22 of the housing 2 is located in the space around the focus motor 6. A support spring or a spring piece is connected between the focus motor 6 and the side plate 22 or the bottom plate 23 of the housing 2, which is used to support and limit the focus motor 6 to reduce unnecessary rotation or swing of the focus motor 6.

[0096] As shown in FIG. 1, in an embodiment of the camera module, the driving wire 13 of the optical image stabilization motor 1 is connected with the circuit board 5 through a first lead wire 14, which is a wire for transmitting signals between the optical image stabilization motor 1 and the circuit board 5. The circuit board 5 outputs electrical signals (such as PWM signals) to the driving wire 13 through the first lead wire 14. Figure 1 Figure 3 As shown in FIG. 1, in an embodiment of the camera module, the driving wire 13 of the optical image stabilization motor 1 is connected with the circuit board 5 through a first lead wire 14, which is a wire for transmitting signals between the optical image stabilization motor 1 and the circuit board 5. The circuit board 5 outputs electrical signals (such as PWM signals) to the driving wire 13 through the first lead wire 14.

[0097] The first lead wire 14 is connected to the circuit board 5 along the outside of the side plate 22 of the housing 2. The first lead wire 14 can be electrically connected to the circuit board 5 by welding, or the first lead wire 14 can be electrically connected to the circuit board 5 through a connector.

[0098] As shown in FIG. 1, in an embodiment of the camera module, the driving wire 13 of the optical image stabilization motor 1 is connected with the circuit board 5 through a first lead wire 14, which is a wire for transmitting signals between the optical image stabilization motor 1 and the circuit board 5. The circuit board 5 outputs electrical signals (such as PWM signals) to the driving wire 13 through the first lead wire 14. Figure 6 ​​As shown in the embodiment of the camera assembly, the image sensor 4 is provided with a plurality of pins electrically connected with the circuit board 5. In order to reduce the electromagnetic interference of the electrical signal in the first lead 14 to the image sensor 4, the position where the first lead 14 is electrically connected with the circuit board 5 is located away from the pins of the image sensor 4. For example, for a rectangular image sensor 4, the pins 41 are located at one or two or three sides of the image sensor 4. The image sensor 4 has at least one side without pins. The position where the first lead 14 is connected with the circuit board 5 is located close to the side of the image sensor 4 without pins 41. For example, one or two shorter sides of the rectangular image sensor 4 are provided with pins 41, and the position where the first lead 14 is connected with the circuit board 5 is located close to one longer side of the image sensor 4.

[0099] The first lead 14 is electrically connected with the circuit board, but the first lead 14 does not need to be electrically connected with the image sensor 4. The farther the first lead 14 is away from the image sensor 4, the better. Similarly, the farther the first lead 14 is away from the pins 41 of the image sensor 4, the better.

[0100] As shown in the embodiment of the camera assembly, the image sensor 4 is provided with a plurality of pins electrically connected with the circuit board 5. In order to reduce the electromagnetic interference of the electrical signal in the first lead 14 to the image sensor 4, the position where the first lead 14 is electrically connected with the circuit board 5 is located away from the pins of the image sensor 4. For example, for a rectangular image sensor 4, the pins 41 are located at one or two or three sides of the image sensor 4. The image sensor 4 has at least one side without pins. The position where the first lead 14 is connected with the circuit board 5 is located close to the side of the image sensor 4 without pins 41. For example, one or two shorter sides of the rectangular image sensor 4 are provided with pins 41, and the position where the first lead 14 is connected with the circuit board 5 is located close to one longer side of the image sensor 4. Figure 1 or Figure 3 As shown, the focusing motor 6 is connected with the circuit board 5 through a second lead 65, and the second lead 65 is a wire for transmitting signals between the focusing motor 6 and the circuit board 5. The second lead 65 is connected to the circuit board 5 from the outside of the side plate 22 of the shell 2. The second lead 65 is electrically connected with the circuit board 5 by welding, or the second lead 65 is electrically connected with the circuit board 5 through a connector.

[0101] In order to reduce the electromagnetic interference of the electrical signal transmitted in the second lead 65 to the image sensor 4, similar to the first lead 14, the position where the second lead 65 is electrically connected with the circuit board 5 is located away from the pins 41 of the image sensor 4. For example, the welding position of the second lead 65 with the circuit board 5 is located close to the side of the image sensor 4 without pins 41.

[0102] The second lead 65 does not need to be electrically connected to the image sensor 4. The second lead 65 is electrically connected to the circuit board 5. The farther the second lead 65 is from the image sensor 4, the better; similarly, the farther the second lead 65 is from the pin 41 of the image sensor 4, the better. By limiting the connection positions of the first lead 14 and the second lead 65 to the circuit board 5 to locations far from the pin 41 of the image sensor 4, interference from the electrical signals in the first lead 14 and the second lead 65 to the image sensor 4 can be reduced, thereby reducing stripe noise in the image formed by the image sensor 4.

[0103] like Figure 5 As shown, the distance between the first lead 14 (or the second lead 65) and the circuit board 5 is L2.

[0104] When the circuit board 5 is located outside the base plate 23, or when the base plate 23 serves as the base plate 23 of the housing 2 (see [reference]). Figure 1 or Figure 3 At least a portion of the circuit board 5 is located on the outer side of the side plate 22. The first lead 14 is connected to the circuit board 5 at the outer side of the side plate 22 of the housing 2. This reduces the interference of the electrical signal in the first lead 14 to the image sensor 4. A magnetic shielding material film can be attached to the inner wall of the side plate 22 of the housing 2 near the first lead 14. The magnetic shielding material film is used to shield the electromagnetic radiation of the electrical signal in the first lead 14.

[0105] Similarly, the connection point between the second lead 65 and the circuit board 5 can also be located on the outer side of the side plate 22 of the housing 2. A magnetic shielding material film can be attached to the inner wall of the side plate 22 of the housing 2 near the second lead 65. The magnetic shielding material film is used to shield the electromagnetic radiation of the electrical signal in the second lead 65.

[0106] In one specific embodiment, such as Figure 1 or Figure 3As shown, the second lead wire 65 is connected to the anti-shake fixed part 11 of the optical anti-shake motor 1 from the driving part 60 of the focus motor 6. The first lead wire 14 can pass through a hole (which can be the opening 20 or other hole except the opening 20) or gap provided on the side plate 22 or end plate 21 of the housing 2 to reach the outside of the housing 2 and then pass through the outside of the housing 2 to reach the circuit board 5. The second lead wire 65 is similar to the first lead wire 14, which passes through a hole (which can be the opening 20 or other hole except the opening 20) or gap provided on the side plate 22 or end plate 21 of the housing 2 to reach the outside of the housing 2 and then pass through the outside of the housing 2 to reach the circuit board 5.

[0107] For example, the first lead wire 14 can pass through one side of the supporting spring or elastic sheet between the anti-shake fixed part 11 and the anti-shake movable part 12 of the optical anti-shake motor 1. The second lead wire 65 can also pass through one side of the supporting spring or elastic sheet between the anti-shake fixed part 11 and the anti-shake movable part 12 of the optical anti-shake motor 1. The first lead wire 14 can be a flexible PCB, and the second lead wire 65 can also be a flexible PCB.

[0108] Figure 1 And Figure 3 In order to distinguish the first lead wire 14 and the second lead wire 65, the first lead wire 14 and the second lead wire 65 are arranged on the two sides of the housing 2 respectively. In fact, the first lead wire 14 and the second lead wire 65 can be located on one side of the housing 2, or even integrated together.

[0109] The focus motor 6 has the following two embodiments:

[0110] The first one is as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The focus motor 6 includes a focus fixed part 61, a focus movable part 62, and a driving part 60. The anti-shake fixed part 11 of the optical anti-shake motor 1 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the end plate 21, or the anti-shake fixed part 11 of the optical anti-shake motor 1 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the end plate 21 close to one end of the side plate 22. The focus fixed part 61 of the focus motor 6 is fixedly connected to the anti-shake movable part 12 of the optical anti-shake motor 1, or the focus fixed part 61 of the focus motor 6 is integrally formed with the anti-shake movable part 12 of the optical anti-shake motor 1. The focus movable part 62 of the focus motor 6 is assembled with the lens assembly 3, or the focus movable part 62 of the focus motor 6 is integrally formed with the lens seat 31 of the lens assembly 3. The focus fixed part 61 of the focus motor is arranged on the outside of the focus movable part 62. The anti-shake movable part 12 of the optical anti-shake motor 1 is movably connected to the focus movable part 62 of the focus motor 6.

[0111] When the driving wire 13 of the optical image stabilization motor 1 drives the stabilization moving part 12 of the optical image stabilization motor 1 to move, the stabilization moving part 12 drives the focusing moving part 62 and the focusing stationary part 61 of the focusing motor 6 to move, and the focusing moving part 62 drives the lens assembly 3 to move to generate the compensation displacement.

[0112] In a specific embodiment, the driving part 60 of the focusing motor 6 is arranged between the focusing stationary part 61 and the focusing moving part 62 of the focusing motor 6, and the driving part 60 is used to drive the focusing moving part 62 to move along the direction of the optical axis or the direction parallel to the optical axis relative to the focusing stationary part 61.

[0113] In a specific embodiment, the driving part 60 includes a magnet 66 and a coil 67. The second lead wire 65 connects the driving part 60 with the circuit board 5, and in particular, the second lead wire 65 connects the coil 67 with the circuit board 5.

[0114] In a specific embodiment, the focusing moving part 62 of the focusing motor 6 is arranged in the space around the lens assembly 3 and assembled with the lens assembly 3, the focusing stationary part 61 is arranged outside the focusing moving part 62 and arranged opposite to the side wall of the focusing moving part 62, the magnet 66 is arranged on the side wall of the focusing moving part 62 facing the focusing stationary part 61, and the coil 67 is arranged on the side wall of the focusing stationary part 61 facing the focusing moving part 62. When the coil 67 is energized, the magnet 66 and the coil 67 interact to generate a clockwise or counterclockwise torque to push the focusing moving part 62 and the lens assembly 3 to rotate around the optical axis of the lens assembly 3. The side wall of the focusing moving part 62 and the inner wall of the focusing stationary part 61 can be connected in a threaded manner, so that the lens assembly 3 rotates around the optical axis while moving along the direction of the optical axis or the direction parallel to the optical axis, thereby achieving focusing.

[0115] In a specific embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 The focusing moving part 62 can be a cylindrical structure or a frame structure, and the cylindrical structure of the focusing moving part 62 is arranged outside the lens assembly 3.

[0116] The focusing stationary part 61 can also be arranged as a cylindrical structure or a frame structure, and the focusing stationary part 61 of the cylindrical structure or the frame structure is arranged outside the focusing moving part 62.

[0117] In a specific embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in the case that the anti-shake moving part 12 and the anti-shake non-moving part 11 of the optical anti-shake motor are provided in a plate structure with a through hole, one end of the focusing non-moving part 61 of the focusing motor towards the end plate 21 of the shell 2 is fixedly connected with the anti-shake moving part 12 of the optical anti-shake motor. One end of the focusing moving part 62 of the focusing motor towards the end plate 21 of the shell 2 is movably connected with the anti-shake moving part 12 of the optical anti-shake motor 1. In this way, the anti-shake moving part 12 of the optical anti-shake motor 1 can drive the focusing moving part 62 and the focusing non-moving part 61 of the focusing motor 6 to move, and because the focusing moving part 62 of the focusing motor 6 is movably connected with the anti-shake moving part 12 of the optical anti-shake motor 1, the focusing moving part 62 of the focusing motor 6 can move relative to the focusing non-moving part 61 of the focusing motor and the anti-shake moving part 12 of the optical anti-shake motor 1 to push the lens assembly 3 to focus.

[0118] The movable connection between the anti-shake moving part 12 and the focusing moving part 62 can be achieved by connecting a spring or a spring piece between the anti-shake moving part 12 and the focusing moving part 62. In this way, the focusing moving part 62 can move relative to the anti-shake moving part 12, and the spring or the spring piece limits the distance of the movement of the focusing moving part 62 relative to the anti-shake moving part 12.

[0119] The drive wire 13 of the optical anti-shake motor 1 is connected between the anti-shake non-moving part 11 and the anti-shake moving part 12 which are stacked, and when the drive wire 13 is stretched or contracted, it drives the anti-shake moving part 12 to move in a direction which is substantially perpendicular to the optical axis of the lens assembly 3, the anti-shake moving part 12 drives the focusing moving part 62 and the focusing non-moving part 61 to move in a direction which is substantially perpendicular to the optical axis of the lens assembly 3, and the focusing moving part 62 drives the lens assembly 3 to move in a direction which is substantially perpendicular to the optical axis of the lens assembly 3 to compensate for the displacement of the camera assembly when it is shaken.

[0120] The supporting spring or spring piece between the focusing motor 6 and the shell 2 can be connected between the focusing non-moving part 61 of the focusing motor 6 and the side plate 22 or the bottom plate 23 of the shell 2. In addition, a supporting spring or spring piece can also be connected between the focusing non-moving part 61 and the focusing moving part 62. The supporting spring or spring piece between the focusing non-moving part 61 and the focusing moving part 62 is used to limit the distance of the relative movement between the focusing non-moving part 61 and the focusing moving part 62.

[0121] Secondly, as shown in FIG. 2, the anti-shake moving part 12 of the optical anti-shake motor 1 is connected with the focusing non-moving part 61 of the focusing motor 6, and the focusing moving part 62 of the focusing motor 6 is movably connected with the anti-shake moving part 12 of the optical anti-shake motor 1. Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the focusing motor 6 comprises a first moving part 63, a second moving part 64 and a driving component 60. The anti-shake fixed part 11 of the optical anti-shake motor 1 is movably connected to the inner side wall of the end plate 21 of the shell 2, or the anti-shake fixed part 11 of the optical anti-shake motor 1 is movably connected to the inner side wall of the side plate 22 of the shell 2 near the end of the end plate 21.

[0122] The anti-shake fixed part 11 of the optical anti-shake motor 1 and the shell 2 can be movably connected by setting a spring or a spring sheet 7. The support spring or spring sheet 7 between the anti-shake fixed part 11 of the optical anti-shake motor 1 and the shell 2 is used to limit the moving distance of the anti-shake fixed part 11 of the optical anti-shake motor 1 when the anti-shake fixed part 11 of the optical anti-shake motor 1 moves relative to the shell 2.

[0123] The first moving part 63 of the focusing motor 6 is fixedly connected to the anti-shake fixed part 11 of the optical anti-shake motor 1, or the first moving part 63 is integrally formed with the anti-shake fixed part 11 of the optical anti-shake motor 1. The second moving part 64 of the focusing motor 6 is arranged in the space around the lens assembly 3 and assembled with the lens seat 31 of the lens assembly 3, or the second moving part 64 of the focusing motor 6 is integrally formed with the lens seat 31 of the lens assembly 3. The first moving part 63 of the focusing motor 6 is arranged outside the second moving part 64. The anti-shake moving part 12 of the optical anti-shake motor 1 is fixedly connected to the second moving part 64 of the focusing motor 6, or the anti-shake moving part 12 of the optical anti-shake motor 1 is integrally formed with the second moving part 64 of the focusing motor 6.

[0124] When the driving wire 13 of the optical anti-shake motor 1 drives the anti-shake moving part 12 to move, the anti-shake moving part 12 drives the second moving part 64 of the focusing motor 6 to move, and the second moving part 64 of the focusing motor 6 drives the lens assembly 3 to move, so that the lens assembly 3 generates the compensation displacement.

[0125] The driving component 60 of the focusing motor 6 is arranged between the side plate 22 of the shell 2 and the focusing motor 6, and is used to drive the focusing motor 6 and the lens assembly 3 to move relative to the side plate 22 along the direction in which the optical axis is located or along the direction parallel to the optical axis, so as to realize focusing. Correspondingly, the anti-shake fixed part 11 and the anti-shake moving part 12 of the anti-shake motor 1 will also move along the direction in which the optical axis is located or along the direction parallel to the optical axis.

[0126] In a specific embodiment, the driving component 60 comprises a magnet 66 and a coil 67. The second lead 65 connects the driving component 60 and the circuit board 5, in particular, the second lead 65 connects the coil 67 and the circuit board 5.

[0127] The first moving part 63 is arranged opposite to the side plate 22 of the housing 2, the side plate 22 of the housing 2 is arranged with the magnet 66 towards the inner side of the first moving part 63, the first moving part 63 is arranged with the coil 67 towards the side wall of the side plate 22, the coil 67 interacts with the magnet 66 to generate clockwise or counterclockwise torque to push the first moving part 63, the second moving part 64, the anti-shake moving part 12, the anti-shake non-moving part 11, and the lens assembly 3 to rotate around the optical axis of the lens assembly 3. The outer side wall of the first moving part 63 of the focusing motor 6 and the inner side wall of the side plate 22 of the housing 2 can be connected in a threaded manner, so that the lens assembly 3 rotates around the optical axis while moving along the direction of the optical axis or moving along the direction parallel to the optical axis, thereby achieving focusing. Because the anti-shake non-moving part 11 is movably connected with the end plate 21 of the housing 2 (for example, through a supporting spring or a supporting sheet), the first moving part 63, the second moving part 64, the anti-shake non-moving part 11, and the anti-shake moving part 12 can move relative to the housing 2 to push the lens assembly 3 to focus.

[0128] In a specific embodiment, as shown in Figure 4 The second moving part 64 of the focusing motor 6 can be a cylindrical structure or a frame structure, and the second moving part 64 of the cylindrical structure or the frame structure is arranged outside the lens assembly 3.

[0129] The first moving part 63 of the focusing motor 6 can also be a cylindrical structure or a frame structure, and the first moving part 63 of the cylindrical structure or the frame structure is arranged outside the second moving part 64.

[0130] In a specific embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in the case that the anti-shake member 12 and the anti-shake fixed member 11 of the optical anti-shake motor 1 are provided in a plate structure with a through hole, the anti-shake fixed member 11 is movably connected to the inner side wall of the end plate 21 of the housing 2, or the anti-shake fixed member 11 is movably connected to the inner side wall of the side plate 22 of the housing 2 near the end of the end plate 21. The edge of the anti-shake fixed member 11 stacked on the anti-shake member 12 can protrude beyond the edge of the anti-shake member 12. The end of the first moving member 63 of the focusing motor 6 facing the end plate 21 of the housing 2 is fixedly connected to the edge of the anti-shake fixed member 11 protruding beyond the anti-shake member 12. The end of the second moving member 64 of the focusing motor 6 facing the end plate 21 of the housing 2 is movably connected to the anti-shake member 12. The anti-shake member 12 drives the second moving member 64 of the focusing motor 6 to move to generate the compensation displacement, and accordingly the second moving member 64 of the focusing motor 6 drives the lens assembly 3 to move to generate the compensation displacement.

[0131] The supporting spring or spring sheet between the focusing motor 6 and the housing 2 can be connected between the first moving member 63 of the focusing motor 6 and the side plate 22 or the bottom plate 23 of the housing 2. In addition, a supporting spring or spring sheet can also be connected between the first moving member 63 and the second moving member 64 of the focusing motor 6. The supporting spring or spring sheet between the first moving member 63 and the second moving member 64 is used to limit the relative movement between the first moving member 63 and the second moving member 64.
