Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of camera technology, and specifically relates to a camera and electronic equipment. Background Art

[0002] As user demands increase, the performance of cameras configured on electronic devices continues to be optimized. In order to achieve better shooting effects, in the specific use process, users usually need the lens to move relative to the photosensitive chip, such as movement during focusing, and rotation during anti-shake. In electronic devices, the camera can be configured with a driving mechanism to drive the lens movement to meet the above needs. The driving mechanism requires the camera's circuit board to supply power and transmit control signals to it. Since there is relative movement between the lens and the driving mechanism and the camera's circuit board, the circuit board and the driving mechanism can be connected through a flexible circuit board. However, when connecting the circuit board and the driving mechanism through a flexible circuit board, it is necessary to reserve space for redundant flexible circuit boards generated by movement during focusing, and it is also necessary to reserve space for redundant flexible circuit boards generated by rotation during anti-shake, and it is necessary to avoid damage to the flexible circuit board caused by the structural parts of the camera, which results in a complex camera structure and a large size. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the embodiments of the present application is to provide a camera and an electronic device that can solve the problem of complex camera structure and large size.

[0004] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a camera, including a circuit board, a support base, a photosensitive chip, a lens, a driving mechanism, and a conductive telescopic component;

[0005] The photosensitive chip and the support seat are arranged on the circuit board, and the photosensitive chip is located in the internal space of the support seat, the photosensitive chip is electrically connected to the circuit board, the lens is arranged on the support seat, the lens and the photosensitive chip are arranged opposite to each other, the driving mechanism is arranged on the lens, and the driving mechanism is used to drive the lens to move;

[0006] The conductive telescopic component is arranged between the circuit board and the lens, and one end of the conductive telescopic component is electrically connected to the circuit board, and the other end is electrically connected to the driving mechanism. The circuit board and the driving mechanism are electrically connected through the conductive telescopic component.

[0007] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides an electronic device, comprising the above-mentioned camera.

[0008] In an embodiment of the present application, a camera includes a circuit board, a support seat, a photosensitive chip, a lens, a driving mechanism and a conductive telescopic component. The driving mechanism can drive the lens to move to adjust the relative position between the lens and the photosensitive chip, thereby realizing the focus and anti-shake of the camera. The conductive telescopic component is arranged between the circuit board and the lens, and one end of the conductive telescopic component is electrically connected to the circuit board, and the other end is electrically connected to the driving mechanism to electrically connect the circuit board and the driving mechanism. Therefore, when the lens is away from the photosensitive chip, the conductive telescopic component can be extended, and when the lens is close to the photosensitive chip, the conductive telescopic component can be shortened. The circuit board and the driving mechanism can always be electrically connected. During the focusing and anti-shake process, no matter how the lens moves, the circuit board and the driving mechanism can be electrically connected through the conductive telescopic component. Compared with connecting the circuit board and the driving mechanism with a flexible circuit board, in the embodiment of the present application, there is no need to reserve space for redundant flexible circuit boards generated by movement during focusing, nor is there any need to reserve space for redundant flexible circuit boards generated by rotation during anti-shake, and there is no need to consider the avoidance of the structural parts of the camera to the flexible circuit board. The camera structure is simpler, the volume is smaller, and the space occupied is smaller. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments in the present application belong to the scope of protection of this application.

It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchangeable under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described here, and the objects distinguished by "first", "second", etc. are generally of one type, and the number of objects is not limited. For example, the first object can be one or more. In addition, "and / or" in the specification and claims represents at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the objects associated with each other are in an "or" relationship.

[0023] The camera and electronic device provided in the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below through specific embodiments and their application scenarios in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a camera, which includes a circuit board 100, a support base 200, a photosensitive chip 300, a lens 400, a driving mechanism 500 and a conductive telescopic component 600.

[0025] The circuit board 100 supplies power to other structural components of the camera or implements information interaction with other structural components of the camera, for example, transmits control signals to other structural components of the camera.

[0026] The photosensitive chip 300 and the support base 200 can be arranged on the circuit board 100, and the photosensitive chip 300 is located in the internal space of the support base 200. The photosensitive chip 300 is electrically connected to the circuit board 100. The support base 200 is the main component of the camera, and the support base 200 can provide an installation foundation for other structural components of the camera. The photosensitive chip 300 is an imaging component of the camera, which is used to convert the light transmitted from the lens 400 into an image.

[0027] Of course, the arrangement of the above-mentioned photosensitive chip 300, support base 200 and circuit board 100 can also be considered as: the photosensitive chip 300 and the circuit board 100 are arranged on the support base 200, and the photosensitive chip 300 is located in the internal space of the support base 200, the circuit board 100 is arranged on one side of the support base 200, and the photosensitive chip 300 is electrically connected to the circuit board 100.

[0028] The photosensitive chip 300 is electrically connected to the circuit board 100 , the circuit board 100 can supply power to the photosensitive chip 300 , and the photosensitive chip 300 can transmit the converted image information to the circuit board 100 .

[0029] The lens 400 is disposed on the support seat 200. The lens 400 is disposed opposite to the photosensitive chip 300. The lens 400 is a light transmitting component of the camera, which is used to transmit external light into the camera. Then, the photosensitive chip 300 converts the light transmitted by the lens 400 into an image.

[0030] The driving mechanism 500 is disposed on the lens 400, and is used to drive the lens 400 to move. The driving mechanism 500 can drive the lens 400 to move relative to the photosensitive chip 300 to achieve focusing. The driving mechanism 500 can also drive the lens 400 to rotate relative to the photosensitive chip 300 to achieve anti-shake.

[0031] The conductive telescopic component 600 is disposed between the circuit board 100 and the lens 400, and one end of the conductive telescopic component 600 is electrically connected to the circuit board 100, and the other end is electrically connected to the driving mechanism 500, and the circuit board 100 and the driving mechanism 500 are electrically connected through the conductive telescopic component 600. The conductive telescopic component 600 is a conductive structural member, and the conductive telescopic component 600 is telescopic, and can be extended and shortened.

[0032] The driving mechanism 500 drives the lens 400 to move, and the circuit board 100 needs to supply power and transmit control signals. Since the driving mechanism 500 is arranged on the lens 400, the position of the driving mechanism 500 is not fixed relative to the position of the circuit board 100, and the driving mechanism 500 will have relative movement relative to the circuit board 100 as the lens 400 moves or rotates. In the embodiment of the present application, a conductive telescopic component 600 is provided. Since the conductive telescopic component 600 is a conductive structural member, the circuit board 100 can supply power and transmit control signals to the driving mechanism 500 through the conductive telescopic component 600. Since the conductive telescopic component 600 is retractable, when the lens 400 is away from the photosensitive chip 300, the conductive telescopic component 600 can be extended, and when the lens 400 is close to the photosensitive chip 300, the conductive telescopic component 600 can be shortened, and the circuit board 100 and the driving mechanism 500 can always be electrically connected. That is, when the driving mechanism 500 moves relative to the circuit board 100, the circuit board 100 and the driving mechanism 500 can always be electrically connected through the conductive telescopic component 600.

[0033] Therefore, in the camera of the embodiment of the present application, the conductive telescopic component 600 is arranged between the circuit board 100 and the lens 400, and one end of the conductive telescopic component 600 is electrically connected to the circuit board 100, and the other end is electrically connected to the driving mechanism 500, so as to electrically connect the circuit board 100 and the driving mechanism 500. Therefore, when the lens 400 is away from the photosensitive chip 300, the conductive telescopic component 600 can be extended, and when the lens 400 is close to the photosensitive chip 300, the conductive telescopic component 600 can be shortened, and the circuit board 100 and the driving mechanism 500 can always be electrically connected. During focusing and anti-shake, no matter how the lens 400 moves, the circuit board 100 and the driving mechanism 500 can be electrically connected through the conductive telescopic component 600. Compared with connecting the circuit board 100 and the driving mechanism 500 with a flexible circuit board 100, in the embodiment of the present application, there is no need to reserve space for redundant flexible circuit boards 100 generated by movement during focusing, nor is there any need to reserve space for redundant flexible circuit boards 100 generated by rotation during anti-shake, and there is no need to consider the avoidance of the camera's structural parts to the flexible circuit board 100. The camera structure is simpler, smaller in size, and occupies less space.

[0034] In the embodiment of the present application, the conductive telescopic assembly 600 includes a telescopic rod 610 and a sleeve assembly 620 connected to each other. The telescopic rod 610 and the sleeve assembly 620 are both conductive components. One of the telescopic rod 610 and the sleeve assembly 620 is electrically connected to the circuit board 100, and the other is electrically connected to the driving mechanism 500. The conductive telescopic assembly 600 has an extended state and a retracted state. In the extended state, the telescopic rod 610 extends out of the sleeve assembly 620, and the conductive telescopic assembly 600 can be extended. In the retracted state, the telescopic rod 610 retracts into the sleeve assembly 620, and the conductive telescopic assembly 600 can be shortened. When the lens 400 moves, the conductive telescopic assembly 600 switches between the extended state and the retracted state.

[0035] Optionally, the telescopic rod 610 and the sleeve assembly 620 may be metal conductive components, such as copper conductive components. Of course, the telescopic rod 610 and the sleeve assembly 620 may be conductive components made of other materials.

[0036] When the lens 400 is away from the photosensitive chip 300, the conductive telescopic assembly 600 is in an extended state, the telescopic rod 610 extends out of the sleeve assembly 620, and the conductive telescopic assembly 600 can be extended. When the lens 400 is close to the photosensitive chip 300, the conductive telescopic assembly 600 is in a retracted state, the telescopic rod 610 retracts into the sleeve assembly 620, and the conductive telescopic assembly 600 can be shortened. Therefore, during the focusing and anti-shake process, no matter how the lens 400 moves, the circuit board 100 and the driving mechanism 500 can be electrically connected through the conductive telescopic assembly 600.

[0037] Of course, the conductive telescopic component 600 can also realize the electrical connection between the circuit board 100 and the driving mechanism 500 in any other state between the extended state and the retracted state.

[0038] In the embodiment of the present application, the extension and contraction of the conductive telescopic component 600 can be achieved along with the movement of the lens 400 and the driving mechanism 500 , that is, the movement of the lens 400 and the driving mechanism 500 drives the extension and contraction of the conductive telescopic component 600 .

[0039] Of course, the conductive telescopic assembly 600 may further include a first elastic member 630 , through which the telescopic rod 610 is connected to the sleeve assembly 620 , and the first elastic member 630 is used to drive the telescopic rod 610 to extend out of the sleeve assembly 620 .

[0040] When the lens 400 is close to the photosensitive chip 300, the first elastic member 630 can be compressed or stretched, and the first elastic member 630 can store energy. When the lens 400 is away from the photosensitive chip 300, the first elastic member 630 releases energy, thereby driving the telescopic rod 610 to extend out of the sleeve assembly 620. Of course, the first elastic member 630 can also be pre-compressed or stretched to store energy. When the lens 400 is away from the photosensitive chip 300, the first elastic member 630 releases energy, thereby driving the telescopic rod 610 to extend out of the sleeve assembly 620.

[0041] The first elastic member 630 may be a spring. Of course, the first elastic member 630 may also be other elastic components.

[0042] In the embodiment of the present application, when the telescopic rod 610 is electrically connected to the circuit board 100, the end of the telescopic rod 610 opposite to the circuit board 100 abuts against the circuit board 100, and the abutment of the end of the telescopic rod 610 opposite to the circuit board 100 with the circuit board 100 can achieve electrical connection between the telescopic rod 610 and the circuit board 100. Optionally, a contact gold surface is provided at a position of the circuit board 100 opposite to the telescopic rod 610, and the end of the telescopic rod 610 opposite to the circuit board 100 abuts against the contact gold surface to achieve good electrical connection.

[0043] When the telescopic rod 610 is electrically connected to the driving mechanism 500, the end of the telescopic rod 610 opposite to the driving mechanism 500 abuts against the driving mechanism 500, and the abutment between the end of the telescopic rod 610 opposite to the driving mechanism 500 and the driving mechanism 500 can realize the electrical connection between the telescopic rod 610 and the driving mechanism 500. Optionally, a contact gold surface is provided at a position of the driving mechanism 500 opposite to the telescopic rod 610, and the end of the telescopic rod 610 opposite to the driving mechanism 500 abuts against the contact gold surface to realize a good electrical connection.

[0044] In the embodiment of the present application, the sleeve assembly 620 may include one sleeve or multiple sleeves. When the sleeve assembly 620 includes one sleeve, the telescopic rod 610 and the sleeve may achieve one-stage telescopic extension, and the telescopic rod 610 is retracted into the sleeve to extend out of the sleeve. When the sleeve assembly 620 includes multiple sleeves, the telescopic rod 610 and the sleeve may achieve multi-stage telescopic extension, and the telescopic rod 610 is retracted into the sleeve located on the inner side of the circumference to extend out of the sleeve located on the inner side of the circumference, and the sleeve located on the inner side of the circumference of two adjacent sleeves is retracted into the sleeve located on the outer side of the circumference to extend out of the sleeve located on the outer side of the circumference.

[0045] Specifically, when the sleeve assembly 620 includes a sleeve, the sleeve is electrically connected to the circuit board 100 or the driving mechanism 500. In the extended state, the telescopic rod 610 extends out of the sleeve and the conductive telescopic assembly 600 is extended. In the retracted state, the telescopic rod 610 is retracted into the sleeve and the conductive telescopic assembly 600 is shortened.

[0046] When the sleeve assembly 620 includes multiple sleeves, the multiple sleeves are sequentially socketed, and two adjacent sleeves can move relative to each other in the axial direction. The sleeve located on the circumferential outer side is electrically connected to the circuit board 100 or the driving mechanism 500. In the extended state, the telescopic rod 610 extends out of the sleeve located on the circumferential inner side, and the sleeve located on the circumferential inner side of the two adjacent sleeves extends out of the sleeve located on the circumferential outer side, and the conductive telescopic assembly 600 is extended. In the retracted state, the telescopic rod 610 is retracted into the sleeve located on the circumferential inner side, and the sleeve located on the circumferential inner side of the two adjacent sleeves is retracted into the sleeve located on the circumferential outer side, and the conductive telescopic assembly 600 is shortened.

[0047] Optionally, the sleeve assembly 620 includes two sleeves, namely a first sleeve 621 and a second sleeve 622, the first sleeve 621 is sleeved in the second sleeve 622, and the first sleeve 621 and the second sleeve 622 can move relative to each other in the axial direction, the second sleeve 622 is located on the circumferential outside, the second sleeve 622 is electrically connected to the circuit board 100 or the driving mechanism 500, in the extended state, the telescopic rod 610 extends out of the first sleeve 621, the first sleeve 621 extends out of the second sleeve 622, and the conductive telescopic assembly 600 is extended, and in the retracted state, the telescopic rod 610 retracts into the first sleeve 621, the first sleeve 621 retracts into the second sleeve 622, and the conductive telescopic assembly 600 is shortened.

[0048] In the embodiment of the present application, the sleeve assembly 620 also includes a second elastic member 623, and two adjacent sleeves are connected by the second elastic member 623. The second elastic member 623 is used to drive the sleeve located on the circumferential inner side of the two adjacent sleeves to extend out of the sleeve located on the circumferential outer side.

[0049] When the lens 400 is close to the photosensitive chip 300, the second elastic member 623 can be compressed or stretched. The second elastic member 623 can store energy. When the lens 400 is away from the photosensitive chip 300, the second elastic member 623 releases energy, thereby driving the sleeve located on the inner side of the two adjacent sleeves to extend out of the sleeve located on the outer side of the circumference. Of course, the second elastic member 623 can also be pre-compressed or stretched to store energy. When the lens 400 is away from the photosensitive chip 300, the second elastic member 623 releases energy, thereby driving the sleeve located on the inner side of the two adjacent sleeves to extend out of the sleeve located on the outer side of the circumference. For example, the second elastic member 623 can drive the first sleeve 621 to extend out of the second sleeve 622.

[0050] The second elastic member 623 may be a spring. Of course, the second elastic member 623 may also be other elastic components.

[0051] In the embodiment of the present application, when the sleeve assembly 620 is electrically connected to the circuit board 100, the end of the sleeve located on the circumferential outside opposite to the circuit board 100 is fixedly connected to the circuit board 100, for example, the end of the second sleeve 622 opposite to the circuit board 100 is fixedly connected to the circuit board 100, so as to realize the electrical connection between the sleeve assembly 620 and the circuit board 100.

[0052] When the sleeve assembly 620 is electrically connected to the driving mechanism 500, the end of the sleeve located on the circumferential outside opposite to the driving mechanism 500 is fixedly connected to the driving mechanism 500, for example, the end of the second sleeve 622 opposite to the driving mechanism 500 is fixedly connected to the driving mechanism 500, so as to realize the electrical connection between the sleeve assembly 620 and the circuit board 100.

[0053] In the embodiment of the present application, the support seat 200 is provided with a mounting through hole 210, and the sleeve located on the circumferential outer side is arranged in the mounting through hole 210. That is, the conductive telescopic component 600 passes through the support seat 200, one end is electrically connected to the circuit board 100, and the other end is electrically connected to the driving mechanism 500. In addition, the sleeve located on the circumferential outer side is arranged in the mounting through hole 210, and the position of the sleeve on the circumferential outer side can also be limited, so that the sleeve on the circumferential outer side is stably connected to other structural parts, and the sleeve on the circumferential outer side is prevented from being skewed.

[0054] In the case where the sleeve assembly 620 includes one sleeve, the sleeve is disposed in the mounting through hole 210. In the case where the sleeve assembly 620 includes two sleeves (a first sleeve 621 and a second sleeve 622), the second sleeve 622 is disposed in the mounting through hole 210.

[0055] In the embodiment of the present application, the circuit board 100 is provided with a first connection end 110, the driving mechanism 500 includes a driving circuit board 510, the driving circuit board 510 is provided with a second connection end 511, one end of the conductive telescopic component 600 is connected to the first connection end 110, and the other end is connected to the second connection end 511.

[0056] When the telescopic rod 610 is electrically connected to the circuit board 100 , the first connection end 110 is a conductive surface, for example, a contact gold surface, and the end of the telescopic rod 610 opposite to the circuit board 100 abuts against the conductive surface to achieve electrical connection between the telescopic rod 610 and the circuit board 100 .

[0057] When the telescopic rod 610 is electrically connected to the driving mechanism 500 , the second connection end 511 is a conductive surface, such as a contact gold surface, and the end of the telescopic rod 610 opposite to the driving mechanism 500 abuts against the conductive surface to achieve electrical connection between the telescopic rod 610 and the driving mechanism 500 .

[0058] In the embodiment of the present application, the lens 400 includes a lens 410, a first lens barrel 420 and a second lens barrel 430. The lens 410 is disposed on the first lens barrel 420, the driving mechanism 500 is disposed on the first lens barrel 420, the second lens barrel 430 is disposed on the support seat 200, and the first lens barrel 420 and the second lens barrel 430 are slidably connected. The driving mechanism 500 can drive the first lens barrel 420 to slide relative to the second lens barrel 430, thereby driving the position of the lens 410 to change.

[0059] Optionally, one of the first lens barrel 420 and the second lens barrel 430 is provided with a slide rail 431, and the other is provided with a slide groove 421, and the slide rail 431 and the slide groove 421 are slidably matched. The slidably matched slide rail 431 and the slide groove 421 can also guide and guide the sliding of the first lens barrel 420 relative to the second lens barrel 430.

[0060] The embodiment of the present application further provides an electronic device, the electronic device comprising the above-mentioned camera. Optionally, the electronic device comprises a housing, and the camera is arranged in the housing.

[0061] The camera includes a circuit board 100, a support seat 200, a photosensitive chip 300, a lens 400, a driving mechanism 500 and a conductive telescopic component 600. The circuit board 100 can be the circuit board 100 of the camera, or it can be the mainboard of an electronic device. For example, the support seat 200 is arranged on the housing of the electronic device, the photosensitive chip 300 and the support seat 200 are arranged on the circuit board 100, and the photosensitive chip 300 is located in the internal space of the support seat 200, the photosensitive chip 300 is electrically connected to the circuit board 100, the lens 400 is arranged on the support seat 200, the lens 400 is arranged opposite to the photosensitive chip 300, the driving mechanism 500 is arranged on the lens 400, and the driving mechanism 500 is used to drive the lens 400 to move; the conductive telescopic component 600 is arranged between the circuit board 100 and the lens 400, and one end of the conductive telescopic component 600 is electrically connected to the circuit board 100, and the other end is electrically connected to the driving mechanism 500, and the circuit board 100 and the driving mechanism 500 are electrically connected through the conductive telescopic component 600.

[0062] In an electronic device using an embodiment of the present application, in a camera of the electronic device, a conductive telescopic component 600 is disposed between a circuit board 100 and a lens 400, and one end of the conductive telescopic component 600 is electrically connected to the circuit board 100, and the other end is electrically connected to a driving mechanism 500, so that the circuit board 100 and the driving mechanism 500 are electrically connected. Therefore, when the lens 400 is away from the photosensitive chip 300, the conductive telescopic component 600 can be extended, and when the lens 400 is close to the photosensitive chip 300, the conductive telescopic component 600 can be shortened, so that the circuit board 100 and the driving mechanism 500 can always be electrically connected. In the process of focusing and anti-shake, no matter how the lens 400 moves, the circuit board 100 and the driving mechanism 500 can be electrically connected through the conductive telescopic component 600. Compared with connecting the circuit board 100 and the driving mechanism 500 with a flexible circuit board 100, in the embodiment of the present application, there is no need to reserve space for redundant flexible circuit boards 100 generated by movement during focusing, nor is there any need to reserve space for redundant flexible circuit boards 100 generated by rotation during anti-shake, and there is no need to consider the avoidance of the structural parts of the camera to the flexible circuit board 100. The camera structure is simpler, smaller in size, and occupies less space.
