DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0050] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. 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.

[0051] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a specific order or sequence. 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.

[0052] The camera assembly disclosed in the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below through specific embodiments and their application scenarios in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 24 The present application discloses a camera assembly, which includes a base 100, a camera module 200, a telescopic bracket 300, a lens cover bracket 400 and a driving mechanism 500.

[0054] The base 100 is a peripheral component of the camera assembly. The base 100 can provide a mounting base for other components of the camera assembly, and the base 100 can also protect other components installed inside. The base 100 may include a base 140 and a housing 150, and the base 140 and the housing 150 are connected to enclose an installation space for the camera module 200, the telescopic bracket 300, the lens cover bracket 400 and other components.

[0055] The camera module 200 is a main component of the camera assembly for shooting. The camera module 200 is arranged on the telescopic bracket 300. Optionally, the camera module 200 is arranged inside the telescopic bracket 300, so that the structure of the camera assembly is more compact. The telescopic bracket 300 is connected to the lens cover bracket 400. Optionally, the telescopic bracket 300 is arranged inside the lens cover bracket 400, so that the structure of the camera assembly is more compact. The lens cover bracket 400 is provided with a lens cover 410, and the lens cover 410 is arranged opposite to the lens of the camera module 200 to protect the lens of the camera module 200. The camera module 200 may include a photosensitive chip to realize the camera function.

[0056] The driving mechanism 500 includes a driving source 510 and a rotating member 520. The driving source 510 is disposed on the base 100. Optionally, the driving source 510 can be directly fixedly connected to the base 100, or can be indirectly fixedly connected to the base 100 through other components. The rotating member 520 is rotatably disposed on the base 100, and the driving source 510 is connected to the rotating member 520. The driving source 510 can drive the rotating member 520 to rotate relative to the base 100. The driving source 510 can be a motor or other components with a driving function.

[0057] The rotating member 520 is connected to at least one of the telescopic bracket 300 and the lens cover bracket 400. When the driving source 510 drives the rotating member 520 to rotate, the rotating member 520 can drive at least one of the telescopic bracket 300 and the lens cover bracket 400 to move relative to the base 100. Specifically, the rotating member 520 can drive at least one of the telescopic bracket 300 and the lens cover bracket 400 to move closer to the base 140 or away from the base 140. When the rotating member 520 is connected to the telescopic bracket 300 and the lens cover bracket 400 at the same time, the driving of the telescopic bracket 300 and the lens cover bracket 400 can be realized by the same driving mechanism, which makes the structure of the camera assembly simpler.

[0058] When the rotating member 520 drives the telescopic bracket 300 to move relative to the base 100, the camera module 200 arranged on the telescopic bracket 300 can be moved relative to the base 100, so that the distance between the camera module 200 and the display screen changes, that is, the camera module 200 is close to or away from the display screen. When the camera module 200 is close to the display screen, the space around the camera module 200 can be compressed, so that the space occupied by the camera component is smaller, and the size of the electronic device equipped with the camera component in the moving direction of the telescopic bracket 300 is thinner, so as to improve the aesthetics and portability of the electronic device; when the camera module 200 is away from the display screen, the movement space of the camera module 200 can be increased, so that the focusing range of the camera module 200 is larger, and the anti-shake effect is better, or the design requirements of a larger photosensitive chip are met.

[0059] When the rotating member 520 drives the lens cover bracket 400 to move relative to the base 100, the lens cover 410 can be moved relative to the base 100, so that the distance between the camera module 200 and the lens cover 410 changes relatively, that is, the lens cover 410 approaches or moves away from the camera module 200. When the lens cover 410 approaches the camera module 200, the space around the camera module 200 can be compressed, so that the space occupied by the camera assembly is smaller. When the lens cover 410 moves away from the camera module 200, the movement space of the camera module 200 can be increased, thereby making the focus range of the camera module 200 larger, and its anti-shake effect is better, or meeting the design requirements of a larger photosensitive chip. Of course, the distance between the camera module 200 and the lens cover 410 is variable, and it can also achieve the purpose of increasing the height of the lens along its own optical axis, increasing the aperture, etc., thereby improving the imaging quality.

[0060] When the rotating member 520 simultaneously drives the telescopic bracket 300 and the lens cover bracket 400 to move relative to the base 100, the distance between the camera module 200 and the lens cover 410 and the distance between the camera module 200 and the display screen are changed, and then the movement space around the camera module 200 is also changed, so that the shooting operation can be implemented or not implemented according to the change of space. Of course, only the distance between the camera module 200 and the lens cover 410, or the distance between the camera module 200 and the display screen can be changed to meet different usage requirements, for example, a shooting operation without an anti-shake function can be implemented.

[0061] In the embodiment of the present application, the camera module 200 is arranged on the telescopic bracket 300, the lens cover bracket 400 is provided with a lens cover 410, and the driving source 510 can drive at least one of the telescopic bracket 300 and the lens cover bracket 400 to move through the rotating member 520, so as to realize the movement of at least one of the camera module 200 and the lens cover 410, so that at least one of the distance between the camera module 200 and the lens cover 410 and the distance between the camera module 200 and the display screen can be adjusted. When shooting is not required, at least one of the telescopic bracket 300 and the lens cover bracket 400 can be driven to move to compress the space around the camera module 200 so that the space occupied by the camera assembly is small; when the shooting operation is implemented, at least one of the telescopic bracket 300 and the lens cover bracket 400 can be driven to move to increase the movement space of the camera module 200, so that the focusing range of the camera module 200 is larger, and the anti-shake effect is better, and finally the quality of the image shot by the camera module 200 is higher.

[0062] Optionally, the rotating member 520 can drive the telescopic bracket 300 and the lens cover bracket 400 to move in the same direction or in different directions relative to the base 100 .

[0063] Optionally, one of the rotating member 520 and the telescopic bracket 300 is provided with a first matching protrusion 521, and the other is provided with a first spiral guide groove 310. The rotating member 520 is connected to the telescopic bracket 300 through the first matching protrusion 521 and the first spiral guide groove 310. The first matching protrusion 521 is slidably matched with the first spiral guide groove 310. The rotating member 520 can drive the telescopic bracket 300 to move relative to the base 100 under the cooperation of the first matching protrusion 521 and the first spiral guide groove 310. This embodiment can realize the transmission between the rotating member 520 and the telescopic bracket 300 through a simple structure, so the structure of the camera assembly can be simplified.

[0064] In one embodiment, a first spiral guide groove 310 is provided on the rotating member 520, and a first matching protrusion 521 is provided on the telescopic bracket 300. The rotating member 520 rotates to make the first matching protrusion 521 slide in the first spiral guide groove 310, thereby driving the telescopic bracket 300 to move relative to the base 100.

[0065] In another embodiment, a first matching protrusion 521 is provided on the rotating member 520, and a first spiral guide groove 310 is provided on the telescopic bracket 300. Since the telescopic bracket 300 needs to provide sufficient support force to the camera module, its size is generally large, so it is more suitable to set a first spiral guide groove 310 with a larger pitch, so that the telescopic bracket 300 has a larger moving range, thereby improving the shooting effect of the camera module 200. At the same time, the first matching protrusion 521 does not need to occupy a large space, so the rotating member 520 can be set smaller, so that the space occupied by the camera assembly is smaller.

[0066] Optionally, the first spiral guide groove 310 is arranged outside the telescopic bracket 300, and the extension direction of the first spiral guide groove 310 is inclined relative to the height direction of the telescopic bracket 300. In other words, there is an angle between the extension direction of the first spiral guide groove 310 and the height direction of the telescopic bracket 300, and the angle is a non-zero angle. The first spiral guide groove 310 is provided with an opening at a position close to the bottom of the telescopic bracket 300 to facilitate cooperation with the first matching protrusion 521. A limiting portion is provided at the top of the first spiral guide groove 310 to limit the first matching protrusion 521, thereby preventing the first matching protrusion 521 from separating from the first spiral guide groove 310 when it moves to the top of the first spiral guide groove 310.

[0067] Optionally, one of the rotating member 520 and the lens cover bracket 400 is provided with a second matching protrusion 522, and the other is provided with a second spiral guide groove 420. The rotating member 520 is connected to the lens cover bracket 400 through the second matching protrusion 522 and the second spiral guide groove 420. The second matching protrusion 522 is slidably matched with the second spiral guide groove 420. The rotating member 520 can drive the lens cover bracket 400 to move relative to the base 100 under the cooperation of the second matching protrusion 522 and the second spiral guide groove 420. This embodiment can realize the transmission between the rotating member 520 and the lens cover bracket 400 through a simple structure, so the structure of the camera assembly can be simplified.

[0068] In one embodiment, the rotating member 520 is provided with a second spiral guide groove 420, and the lens cover bracket 400 is provided with a second matching protrusion 522. The rotating member 520 rotates to make the second matching protrusion 522 slide in the second spiral guide groove 420, thereby driving the lens cover bracket 400 to move relative to the base 100.

[0069] In another embodiment, a second matching protrusion 522 is provided on the rotating member 520, and a second spiral guide groove 420 is provided on the lens cover bracket 400. Since the lens cover bracket 400 needs to provide sufficient support force to the lens cover 410, its size is generally large, so it is more suitable to set a second spiral guide groove 420 with a larger pitch, so that the movement range of the lens cover bracket 400 is larger, thereby improving the shooting effect of the camera module 200. At the same time, the second matching protrusion 522 does not need to occupy a large space, so the rotating member 520 can be set smaller, so that the space occupied by the camera assembly is smaller.

[0070] Optionally, the second spiral guide groove 420 is arranged inside the lens cover bracket 400, and the extension direction of the second spiral guide groove 420 is inclined relative to the height direction of the lens cover bracket 400. In other words, there is an angle between the extension direction of the second spiral guide groove 420 and the height direction of the lens cover bracket 400, and the angle is a non-zero angle. The second spiral guide groove 420 is provided with an opening at a position close to the bottom of the lens cover bracket 400 to facilitate cooperation with the second mating protrusion 522. A limiting portion is provided at the top of the second spiral guide groove 420 to limit the second mating protrusion 522, thereby preventing the second mating protrusion 522 from separating from the second spiral guide groove 420 when it moves to the top of the second spiral guide groove 420.

[0071] Optionally, the pitch of the second spiral guide groove 420 can be less than or equal to the pitch of the first spiral guide groove 310. When performing a shooting operation, this design enables the rotating member 520 to drive the telescopic bracket 300 and the lens cover bracket 400 to move relative to the base 100, and the change value of the distance between the camera module 200 and the lens cover 410 is less than or equal to the change value of the distance between the camera module 200 and the display screen.

[0072] In another embodiment, the pitch of the second spiral guide groove 420 is greater than the pitch of the first spiral guide groove 310. When the rotating member 520 drives the telescopic bracket 300 and the lens cover bracket 400 to move relative to the base 100, the change value of the distance between the camera module 200 and the lens cover 410 is greater than the change value of the distance between the camera module 200 and the display screen, that is, the distance between the camera module 200 and the lens cover 410 is greater than the distance between the camera module 200 and the display screen. This arrangement makes the maximum value of the distance between the camera module 200 and the lens cover 410 larger, thereby making the movement space of the camera module 200 larger, its focusing range increased, the anti-shake effect better, and the final image quality captured is higher.

[0073] Optionally, the rotating member 520 may be an annular member, and the inner circumferential surface of the rotating member 520 is provided with a first matching protrusion 521, so as to match with the first spiral guide groove 310 provided on the outside of the telescopic bracket 300, thereby realizing that the rotating member 520 is sleeved on the outside of the telescopic bracket 300, so as to make the structure of the camera assembly more compact. In order to enable the rotating member 520 to drive the telescopic bracket 300 to move relative to the base 100 more stably and reliably, the number of the first matching protrusions 521 can be at least two, and correspondingly, the number of the first spiral guide grooves 310 is at least two, and the at least two first matching protrusions 521 correspond to the at least two first spiral guide grooves 310 one by one, and are slidably matched.

[0074] Optionally, the outer circumferential surface of the rotating member 520 is provided with a second matching protrusion 522, so as to match with the second spiral guide groove 420 provided inside the lens cover bracket 400, so as to realize that the rotating member 520 is sleeved inside the lens cover bracket 400, so as to make the structure of the camera assembly more compact. When the first matching protrusion 521 and the second matching protrusion 522 are respectively located on both sides of the rotating member 520, the telescopic bracket 300, the rotating member 520 and the lens cover bracket 400 are sleeved with each other, and when the camera assembly is retracted, the telescopic bracket 300, the rotating member 520 and the lens cover bracket 400 together occupy a smaller space, so the space occupied by the camera assembly is smaller. In order to enable the rotating member 520 to drive the lens cover bracket 400 to move relative to the base 100 more stably and reliably, the number of the second matching protrusion 522 can be at least two, and correspondingly, the number of the second spiral guide grooves 420 is at least two, and the at least two second matching protrusions 522 correspond to the at least two second spiral guide grooves 420 one by one, and are slidably matched.

[0075] Optionally, in order to make the rotating member 520 drive the lens cover bracket 400 to move relative to the base 100 more smoothly, there can be a smaller friction between the lens cover bracket 400 and the base 100, so that the lens cover bracket 400 is subject to less resistance from the base 100, and the lens cover bracket 400 is easier to move.

[0076] Optionally, the friction force can be reduced by setting a first ball 610. Specifically, the camera assembly further includes the first ball 610, the lens cover bracket 400 is provided with a first ball groove 430, the base 100 is provided with a second ball groove 110, the first ball groove 430 and the second ball groove 110 are opposite, the first ball 610 is arranged between the first ball groove 430 and the second ball groove 110, and the first ball groove 430 and the second ball groove 110 both extend along the optical axis direction of the lens, that is, when the lens cover bracket 400 is relative to the lens cover bracket 400, the first ball groove 430 and the second ball groove 110 are arranged between the first ball groove 430 and the second ball groove 110. When the base 100 moves, the first ball 610 rolls in the first ball groove 430 and the second ball groove 110. The first ball 610 can not only reduce the friction when the lens cover bracket 400 moves, but also form a rolling support between the lens cover bracket 400 and the base 100. The cooperation of the first ball 610, the first ball groove 430 and the second ball groove 110 can guide the movement of the lens cover bracket 400, so that the lens cover bracket 400 can move more smoothly and stably relative to the base 100.

[0077] To further improve the movement stability of the lens cover bracket 400, optionally, the number of the first ball groove 430 and the second ball groove 110 is at least two, and each first ball groove 430 and the second ball groove 110 can cooperate with at least one first ball 610. Further, the number of the first ball 610 provided between the same first ball groove 430 and the second ball groove 110 is at least two, so as to better play the role of guiding the movement of the lens cover bracket 400, and at the same time, the balance of the guidance can also be ensured.

[0078] Optionally, the camera assembly may further include a second ball 620, the telescopic bracket 300 is provided with a third ball groove 320, the lens cover bracket 400 is provided with a fourth ball groove 440, the third ball groove 320 and the fourth ball groove 440 are opposite, the second ball 620 is arranged between the third ball groove 320 and the fourth ball groove 440, and the third ball groove 320 and the fourth ball groove 440 both extend along the optical axis direction of the lens. In this case, the second ball 620 is arranged between the third ball groove 320 and the fourth ball groove 440 and plays the role of rolling support for the telescopic bracket 300 and the lens cover bracket 400, and the rolling support can reduce the movement resistance between the telescopic bracket 300 and the lens cover bracket 400, thereby making it easier for the telescopic bracket 300 and the lens cover bracket 400 to move relative to the base 100.

[0079] Furthermore, the second ball 620 cooperates with the third ball groove 320 and the fourth ball groove 440 to guide the movement of the telescopic bracket 300 and the lens cover bracket 400. To ensure the balance of the movement guidance, optionally, the number of the third ball groove 320 and the fourth ball groove 440 is at least two, and each of the third ball groove 320 and the fourth ball groove 440 can cooperate with at least one second ball 620. Furthermore, the number of the second ball 620 provided between the same third ball groove 320 and the fourth ball groove 440 is at least two, thereby ensuring the balance of the guidance.

[0080] Optionally, the camera assembly also includes a third ball 630, the rotating member 520 is located in the base 100, the inner side surface of the base 100 has a guide surface 120, and the outer side surface of the rotating member 520 is provided with a fifth ball groove 523, the fifth ball groove 523 is opposite to the guide surface 120, the third ball 630 is arranged between the fifth ball groove 523 and the guide surface 120, and the fifth ball groove 523 extends in the direction of the optical axis surrounding the lens, that is, the third ball 630 is arranged between the base 100 and the rotating member 520, thereby playing the role of rolling support for the base 100 and the rotating member 520, when the rotating member 520 is subjected to a driving force perpendicular to the optical axis direction of the lens, the rotating member 520 can rotate around the axis where the optical axis of the lens is located, and under the action of the guide surface 120 and the third ball 630, the rotating member 520 rotates more smoothly relative to the base 100, thereby enabling the rotating member 520 to better play the role of power transmission.

[0081] Furthermore, the guide surface 120 cooperates with the outer side surface of the rotating member 520. The guide surface 120 can be an arcuate surface, and the outer side surface of the rotating member 520 can also be an arcuate surface. This can reduce the resistance encountered by the rotating member 520 during rotation, and thus the rotating member 520 can rotate more smoothly and easily relative to the base 100.

[0082] Optionally, during the rotation of the rotating member 520 relative to the base 100, the third ball 630 can easily slide out of the groove formed by the fifth ball groove 523 and the guide surface 120. To avoid this phenomenon, the base 100 may further include a limiting surface 130, which is connected to the guide surface 120 and is opposite to the bottom surface of the fifth ball groove 523.

Further optionally, the limiting surface 130 may be a plane perpendicular to the optical axis of the lens, so as to facilitate processing and improve the limiting effect.

[0083] Optionally, the cross-sectional shape of each ball groove mentioned above can be a V-shaped, L-shaped, U-shaped, C-shaped or other structure that can limit each ball mentioned above by a single degree of freedom or multiple degrees of freedom, so that each ball can be stably arranged in each ball groove. In addition, one end of each ball groove can be provided with an opening to facilitate the ball to enter the corresponding ball groove; the other end of the ball groove can be provided with a limit portion to prevent the ball from separating from the ball groove.

[0084] The camera assembly disclosed in the present application may further include a slip ring 700, which is disposed on the base 100, and the rotating member 520 and the slip ring 700 are rotatably matched. During the rotation of the rotating member 520, the slip ring 700 can play a role of sliding support for the rotating member 520, thereby ensuring that the rotating member 520 can better play a role in power transmission. The slip ring 700 can be made of wear-resistant material to improve the matching accuracy between it and the rotating member 520.

The second connecting portion 830 is connected to and electrically connected to the frame 810 through the first connecting portion 820. The frame 810 is electrically connected to the connector 850 through the tail 840 arranged on the outside of the base 100. The connector 850 is used to electrically connect to a circuit board of an external device (such as an electronic device), so that the electrical connector 800 can provide current to the camera module 200 and transmit data, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the camera module 200.

[0086] Optionally, a certain installation space is provided between the slip ring 700 mentioned above and the base 140 of the base 100 , and the installation space can be used to install the electrical connector 800 .

[0087] Optionally, since the length of the first connection part 820 is generally long to accommodate the movement of the camera module, and there are many components installed in the base 100, in order to make the components more compact and prevent these components from interfering with the first connection part 820, the first connection part 820 can be optionally a bending part, and the first connection part 820 extends in the direction of surrounding the second connection part 830. In this case, the position of the first connection part 820 is not easy to change, and it is not easy to interfere with other components, so other components can be arranged more compactly, and thus occupy less space in the base 100. Furthermore, the first connection part 820 can be a sheet-like bending part with a certain rigidity, so that the first connection part 820 can basically maintain its position before and after deformation, and thus is less likely to interfere with other components.

[0088] Optionally, the driving mechanism 500 also includes an elastic member 530, and the driving source 510 drives the rotating member 520 to rotate through the elastic member 530. When the top of the camera assembly is subjected to external force, the lens cover bracket 400, the telescopic bracket 300 and other components tend to retract. At this time, the elastic member 530 can be deformed to allow these components to move, and the aforementioned external force will not be transmitted to the driving source 510, and will not cause damage to the driving source 510. At the same time, it will not cause other transmission structures (such as the first mating protrusion 521 and the second mating protrusion 522) to be damaged due to excessive force.

[0089] Optionally, a driving tooth is provided on the rotating member 520, and the driving mechanism 500 also includes a rack 540, which is meshed with the driving tooth. The driving source 510 may include a motor 511, a reduction box 512, a lead screw 513, a slider 514, a bracket 515, a guide shaft 516 and a wiring portion 517.

The output end of the motor 511 is connected to the reduction box 512, and the output end of the reduction box 512 is connected to the lead screw 513. The lead screw 513 and the slider 514 are threadedly matched. One end of the lead screw 513 is connected to one end of the bracket 515, and the other end of the bracket 515 is connected to the reduction box 512. One end of the slider 514 is connected to one end of the elastic member 530 and is slidably matched with the guide shaft 516. The elastic member 530 is sleeved on the guide shaft 516, and the other end of the elastic member 530 is meshed with the rack 540. After the power output by the motor 511 is decelerated by the reduction box 512, the rotation speed is reduced and the driving torque is increased, and finally the power is transmitted to the elastic member 530. Under the action of the guide shaft 516, the elastic member 530 stably drives the rotating member 520 to rotate through the rack 540.

[0090] In addition, the elastic member 530 may be a spring, the lead screw 513 may be replaced by a worm, and the slider 514 may be a turbine or a nut. Of course, the embodiments of the present application do not specifically limit the above components.

[0092] In one embodiment, the seal 900 can achieve sealing by being flexibly connected to the lens cover bracket 400 and the base 100. Specifically, the seal 900 can be a flexible film, one end of which is connected to the base 100 and the other end is connected to the lens cover bracket 400, thereby achieving more effective sealing.

[0093] In another embodiment, the sealing member 900 can be connected with the lens cover bracket 400 and the base 100 by sliding, so as to form a dynamic seal with the lens cover bracket 400. Specifically, the sealing member 900 can be a sealing ring, and a fixing groove is provided on the top of the lens cover bracket 400. The sealing ring is arranged in the fixing groove, and the sealing ring forms a sliding friction seal with the inner side surface of the base 100 to prevent external dust and liquid from entering the interior of the camera assembly.
