[0033] Currently, all mobile phones sold on the market are equipped with multiple optical camera modules. The optical system of traditional mobile phone camera modules is designed to be fixed-focus. Later, zoom modules with movable lens groups were developed. However, the lenses of the focus group inside the existing mobile phone lenses are relatively fixed, and the optical performance will be limited by the stacking height.

[0034] In view of this, the present invention provides a zoom lens and a mobile terminal. Figures 1 to 3 This is an embodiment of the zoom lens provided by the present invention.

[0035] See also Figures 1 to 3The zoom lens 100 includes a lens barrel 1 and a focus moving group 2. The lens barrel 1 is extended along a first direction F1 and has a cavity. The focus moving group 2 is movably arranged in the cavity along the first direction F1, and includes a focus moving carrier 21 and an elastic kit 22.

The two ends of the elastic kit 22 are respectively correspondingly arranged at the outer side of the first mounting hole 2111 and the outer side of the second mounting hole 2121.

[0036] In the technical solution of the present invention, the elastic kit 22 is arranged between the first carrier 211 and the second carrier 212 of the focus moving group 2. In the initial state, the focus moving group 2 and the zoom moving group 4 arranged in the cavity are both in a compressed state, and the zoom moving group 4 presses the focus moving group 2 to be in close contact with the lens barrel 1. At this time, the first carrier 211 and the second carrier 212 are in close contact with each other, and the elastic kit 22 is in a compressed state. During the zooming process, the zoom moving group 4 moves in the cavity. At this time, the focus moving group 2 loses its elasticity. The suppression of the zoom moving group 4 is removed, and the elastic kit 22 is reset, providing a driving force for the first carrier 211 and the second carrier 212 to move relatively closer or farther away, that is, in the initial state and the working state, the first carrier 211 and the second carrier 212 have different positions, so that the structure in the zoom lens 100 has a larger design space, and the setting of the elastic kit 22 ensures that the volume of the zoom lens 100 remains unchanged while increasing the focus range of the zoom lens 100, thereby meeting the stacking height and increasing the optical performance.

[0037] It should be noted that, in the present invention, the length direction of the lens barrel 1 is the first direction F1, and the radial direction of the lens barrel 1 is the second direction F2.

[0040] Specifically, the present invention does not limit the number of the annular grooves, and one annular groove can be provided, and one of the annular grooves is provided on one of the periphery of the first mounting hole 2111 and the periphery of the second mounting hole 2121, and the corresponding other one can be provided with a rubber layer, one end of the elastic kit 22 is installed in the annular groove, and the other end is adhered to the rubber layer. More specifically, in this embodiment, the periphery of the first mounting hole 2111 and the periphery of the second mounting hole 2121 are respectively provided with a first annular groove 23 and a second annular groove 24 with grooves arranged opposite to each other; wherein, the first mounting portion includes the first annular groove 23, and the second mounting portion includes the second annular groove 24; the two ends of the elastic kit 22 are respectively installed in the first annular groove 23 and the second annular groove 24, so that not only the installation of the elastic kit 22 is made more stable, but also the volume of the zoom lens 100 will not change due to the provision of the elastic kit 22.

[0041] The present invention does not limit the specific form of the elastic kit 22, which may be a silicone sleeve or a bellows. In the present embodiment, the elastic kit 22 is configured as a spring, which has good telescopic properties. Moreover, since the spring is wound by a coil, the spring has sufficient strength to support and drive the second carrier 212 to move.
