AI Technical Summary
Existing camera devices suffer from limited movement of movable parts and high resistance in module tilting methods, especially in terms of difficulty in compensating for roll direction. Furthermore, the high rigidity caused by the PCB structure results in high rotational drive resistance, making it difficult to achieve effective hand shake correction.
By replacing the PCB with an elastic component, the camera module can move and rotate around multiple axes through the first to third drive units. Combined with an adjustable focus lens and a flexible printed circuit board, it can achieve 5-axis hand shake correction for yaw, pitch, roll, x-axis shift and y-axis shift.
It achieves multi-axis hand shake correction for yaw, pitch, roll, x-axis shift and y-axis shift, reduces the resistance of movable part movement, thereby reducing current consumption, especially minimizing current consumption during hand shake correction in the roll direction.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This embodiment relates to a camera device. Background Technology
[0002] With the widespread adoption of various portable terminals and the commercialization of wireless internet services, consumer demand for portable terminals is also diversifying, leading to the installation of various types of add-on devices in portable terminals.
[0003] One type of camera module is used to capture objects as photographs or videos. Meanwhile, recent camera devices have incorporated image stabilization features to prevent image shake caused by the photographer's hand tremors.
[0004] One method for performing image shake correction is the module tilt method. In conventional camera equipment using the module tilt method, electrical signals from approximately 20 or more image sensors are connected to a fixed unit via a printed circuit board (PCB) to move the image sensors.
[0005] However, in this case, there are problems such as restricted movement of the movable part and greater resistance (load) to its movement. In addition, due to the large deviation in the Young's modulus of the raw materials inside the PCB and the PCB manufacturing tolerances, the elastic modulus is also significantly different, requiring additional work to reduce the performance deviation.
[0006] In particular, due to the high radial stiffness caused by the PCB structure, the resistance to rotational drive is large. Therefore, the above structure has the problem of being difficult to apply to compensation in the roll direction (i.e., compensation for rotational jitter). Summary of the Invention
[0007] Technical issues

[0084] The camera module, with lens 625 aligned with image sensor 695, can tilt around the first and second axes and rotate around the optical axis by means of the first to third drive units.

[0097] The housing 210 may include a second recess 212. The second recess 212 may be formed in a sidewall of the housing 210. The connecting member 430 may pass through the space formed by the second recess 212. That is, the second recess 212 may be a "avoidance recess" for avoiding interference with the connecting member 430. The second recess 212 may be formed with a recess in the lower surface of the housing 210. The second recess 212 may include multiple recesses. The second recess 212 may be formed in each of one sidewall and the other sidewall of the housing 210.
[0098] The housing 210 may include holes. The holes may be formed to extend through the housing 210 in a direction parallel to the optical axis. A line 420 may be disposed within the hole. The hole may be formed with a diameter that does not interfere with the line 420. The hole may be formed in the corners of the housing 210. Multiple holes may be included. A hole may be formed in each of the four corners of the housing 210. However, as a variant embodiment, the hole may be formed with a recessed area with a closed bottom. In this case, the lower end of the line 420 may be secured to the housing 210.
[0099] Camera device 10A may include a coil 220. The coil 220 may be disposed within a housing 210. The coil 220 may face a magnet 320. The coil 220 may be coupled to the inner surface of a third substrate 230. The coil 220 may be electrically connected to the third substrate 230. When current is applied to the coil 220, an electric field can be formed around the coil 220. When current is applied to the coil 220, one of the coil 220 and the magnet 320 may move relative to the other through electromagnetic interaction between the coil 220 and the magnet 320. In this embodiment, the magnet 320 can move when current is applied to the coil 220. However, in a modified embodiment, the coil 220 and the magnet 320 may be positioned opposite each other.
[0100] Coil 220 may include a first coil 221. The first coil 221 may face the first magnet 321. The first coil 221 may be electrically isolated from the second coil 222 and the third coil 223. The first coil 221 may receive current separately from the second coil 222 and the third coil 223. The first coil 221 may be controlled separately from the second coil 222 and the third coil 223. When current is applied to the first coil 221, current may not be applied to the second coil 222 and the third coil 223. Alternatively, when current is applied to the first coil 221, current may be applied to the second coil 222 and the third coil 223. When no current is applied to the first coil 221, current may be applied to the second coil 222 and the third coil 223. Of course, current may not be applied to all of the first coil 221, the second coil 222, and the third coil 223. That is, the first coil 221, the second coil 222, and the third coil 223 may be controlled individually. The first coil 221, the second coil 222, and the third coil 223 can be controlled independently. In other words, the direction and amount of current applied to each of the three coils can be controlled individually. The first coil 221 can rotate the camera module 600 about a first axis perpendicular to the optical axis through interaction with the magnet 320. The first coil 221 can also tilt the camera module 600 about the first axis perpendicular to the optical axis through interaction with the magnet 320. The camera module 600 can be pivotally driven about the first axis perpendicular to the optical axis. In this case, the first axis can be the x-axis.
[0101] like Figure 17 As shown in (b), the first coil 221 can rotate the camera module 600 to one side about the x-axis through interaction with the magnet 320 (see reference). Figure 17 (b) of (b). More specifically, when a forward current is applied to the first coil 221-1, an upward electromagnetic interaction force b1 is generated between the first coil 221-1 and the first magnet 321-1, and when a forward current is applied to the first second coil 221-2, a downward electromagnetic interaction force b2 is generated between the first second coil 221-2 and the first second magnet 321-2, allowing the camera module 600 to rotate (b) around one side of the x-axis. However, the first coil 221-1 and the first second coil 221-2 are not limited to being applied with current in the same direction; in modified embodiments, currents in different directions can be applied. Additionally, a reverse current can be applied to the first coil 221-1 and the first second coil 221-2.
[0102] like Figure 18 As shown in (b), the first coil 221 can rotate the camera module 600 about the other side of the x-axis through interaction with the magnet 320 (see Figure 1). Figure 18(e) in (b). More specifically, when a reverse current is applied to the first coil 221-1, a downward electromagnetic interaction force e1 is generated between the first coil 221-1 and the first magnet 321-1, and when a current is applied upward to the first second coil 221-2, an upward electromagnetic interaction force e2 is generated between the first second coil 221-2 and the first second magnet 321-2, so that the camera module 600 can rotate (e) about the other side of the x-axis.
[0103] The first coil 221 may include multiple coils. The first coil 221 may include a first coil 221-1 and a first coil 221-2. The first coil 221-1 may face a first magnet 321-1. The first coil 221-2 may face a second magnet 321-2. The first coil 221-1 may be disposed between the second coil 221-1 and the second coil 222-2. The first coil 221-2 may be disposed between the second coil 222-3 and the second coil 222-4. The first coil 221-1 and the first coil 221-2 may be electrically connected. Thus, the first coil 221-1 and the first coil 221-2 can be controlled integrally. However, as another example, the first coil 221-1 and the first coil 221-2 may be electrically separated. The first coil 221-1 and the first coil 221-2 may receive current independently. In this case, the first coil 221-1 and the first coil 221-2 can be controlled independently. That is, the direction and amount of current applied to each of the first coil 221-1 and the first coil 221-2 can be controlled independently.
[0104] Coil 220 may include a second coil 222. The second coil 222 may face the first magnet 321. The second coil 222 may be electrically disconnected from the first coil 221. Both the second coil 222 and the first coil 221 may receive current independently. Both the second coil 222 and the first coil 221 may be controlled independently. The second coil 222 may cause the camera module 600 to rotate about a second axis perpendicular to both the optical axis and the first axis through interaction with the magnet 320. The second coil 222 may also cause the camera module 600 to tilt about this second axis perpendicular to both the optical axis and the first axis through interaction with the magnet 320. The camera module 600 may be pivotally driven about this second axis perpendicular to both the optical axis and the first axis. In this case, the second axis may be the y-axis.
[0105] like Figure 17 As shown in (a), the second coil 222 can rotate the camera module 600 to one side about the y-axis through interaction with the magnet 320 (see reference). Figure 17In (a) of the above, more specifically, when a forward current is applied to the second coil 222-1, an upward electromagnetic interaction force a1 is generated between the second coil 222-1 and the first magnet 321-1; when a forward current is applied to the second coil 222-3, an upward electromagnetic interaction force a1 is generated between the second coil 222-3 and the first magnet 321-2; when a reverse current is applied to the second coil 222-2, a downward electromagnetic interaction force a2 is generated between the second coil 222-2 and the first magnet 321-1; and when a reverse current is applied to the second coil 222-4, a downward electromagnetic interaction force a2 is generated between the second coil 222-4 and the first magnet 321-2. The camera module 600 can rotate to one side about the y-axis (a). The electromagnetic interaction force a1 between the second coil 222-1 and the first magnet 321-1 and the electromagnetic interaction force a1 between the third coil 222-3 and the first magnet 321-2 are oriented in the same direction; the electromagnetic interaction force a2 between the second coil 222-2 and the first magnet 321-1 and the electromagnetic interaction force a2 between the fourth coil 222-4 and the first magnet 321-2 are oriented in the same direction; however, the electromagnetic interaction force a1 between the second coil 222-1 and the first magnet 321-1 and the electromagnetic interaction force a2 between the second coil 222-2 and the first magnet 321-1 can be oriented in different directions. For example, the electromagnetic interaction force a1 between the second coil 222-1 and the first magnet 321-1, and the electromagnetic interaction force a1 between the third coil 222-3 and the first magnet 321-2, point upwards, while the electromagnetic interaction forces a2 between the second coil 222-2 and the first magnet 321-1, and the electromagnetic interaction force a2 between the fourth coil 222-4 and the first magnet 321-2, can point downwards. Although it has been described that currents in different directions can be applied to the second coil 222-1 and the second coil 222-2, in a modified embodiment, the winding directions of the coils are set to be opposite to each other, and currents in the same direction can be applied.
[0106] like Figure 17 As shown in (a), the second coil 222 can rotate the camera module 600 about the y-axis to the other side through interaction with the magnet 320 (see reference). Figure 17(d) in (a). More specifically, when a reverse current is applied to the second coil 222-1, a downward electromagnetic interaction force d1 is generated between the second coil 222-1 and the first magnet 321-1; when a reverse current is applied to the second coil 222-3, a downward electromagnetic interaction force d1 is generated between the second coil 222-3 and the first magnet 321-2; when a forward current is applied to the second coil 222-2, an upward electromagnetic interaction force d2 is generated between the second coil 222-2 and the first magnet 321-1; and when a forward current is applied to the second coil 222-4, an upward electromagnetic interaction force d2 is generated between the second coil 222-4 and the first magnet 321-2. The camera module 600 can rotate (d) to the other side about the y-axis.
[0107] The second coil 222 may include multiple coils. The second coil 222 may include a second first coil 222-1, a second second coil 222-2, a second third coil 222-3, and a second fourth coil 222-4. The second first coil 222-1 may face the first first magnet 321-1. The second first coil 222-1 may be located on one side of the first first coil 221-1. The second second coil 222-2 may face the first first magnet 321-1. The second second second coil 222-2 may be located on the other side of the first first coil 221-1. The second third coil 222-3 may face the first second magnet 321-2. The second third coil 222-3 may be located on one side of the first second coil 221-2. The second fourth coil 222-4 may face the first second magnet 321-2. The second fourth coil 222-4 may be located on the other side of the first second coil 221-2.
[0108] The second coil 222-1, the second coil 222-2, the third coil 222-3, and the fourth coil 222-4 can be electrically connected. This allows for the integrated control of all three coils. However, as another example, all three coils can be electrically disconnected. In this case, each coil can be controlled individually. That is, the direction and amount of current applied to each of the coils can be controlled independently. As another example, the second coil 222-1 is electrically connected to the second coil 222-3; the second coil 222-2 is electrically connected to the second coil 222-4; and the second coil 222-1 and the second coil 222-2 can be electrically disconnected.
[0109] Coil 220 may include a third coil 223. The third coil 223 may face the second magnet 322. The third coil 223 may be electrically disconnected from the first coil 221 and the second coil 222. The third coil 223 may receive current separately from any one or more of the first coil 221 and the second coil 222. The third coil 223 may be controlled independently of any one or more of the first coil 221 and the second coil 222.
[0110] like Figure 17 As shown in (c), the third coil 223 can rotate the camera module 600 to one side about the optical axis through its interaction with the magnet 320 (see reference). Figure 17 (c) in (c). More specifically, when a positive current is applied to the third coil 223-1, an electromagnetic interaction force c1 in a first direction is generated between the third coil 223-1 and the second magnet 322-1; when a positive current is applied to the third coil 223-2, an electromagnetic interaction force c2 in a second direction is generated between the third coil 223-2 and the second magnet 322-2, allowing the camera module 600 to rotate (c) around the z-axis to one side. At this time, the first and second directions are tangential directions of a circle centered on the optical axis, and can be symmetrical with respect to the optical axis. Although it has been described that a positive current is applied to each of the third coil 223-1 and the third coil 223-2, in modified embodiments, currents in different directions may also be applied to the third coil 223-1 and the third coil 223-2. At this time, the required electromagnetic interaction force can be sensed by the setting direction of the second magnet 322-1 and the second magnet 322-2 or the winding direction of the third coil 223-1 and the third coil 223-2.
[0111] like Figure 17 As shown in (c), the third coil 223 can rotate the camera module 600 about the optical axis to the other side through interaction with the magnet 320 (see reference). Figure 17 (c) in f). More specifically, when a reverse current is applied to the third coil 223-1, an electromagnetic interaction force f1 is generated between the third coil 223-1 and the second magnet 322-1 in a third direction; when a reverse current is applied to the third coil 223-2, an electromagnetic interaction force f2 is generated between the third coil 223-2 and the second magnet 322-2 in a fourth direction, allowing the camera module 600 to rotate (f) around the z-axis to the other side. At this time, the third and fourth directions are tangential directions of a circle centered on the optical axis, and can be symmetrical with respect to the optical axis. In addition, the third direction is opposite to the first direction, and the fourth direction can be opposite to the second direction.
[0112] The third coil 223 may include multiple coils. The third coil 223 may include a third first coil 223-1 and a third second coil 223-2. The third first coil 223-1 may face the second first magnet 322-1. The third second coil 223-2 may face the second second magnet 322-2. The third first coil 223-1 and the third second coil 223-2 may be electrically connected to each other. Thus, the third first coil 223-1 and the third second coil 223-2 can be controlled as a single unit. However, as another example, the third first coil 223-1 and the third second coil 223-2 may be electrically separated. In this case, the third first coil 223-1 and the third second coil 223-2 can be controlled individually. That is, the direction and amount of current applied to each of the third first coil 223-1 and the third second coil 223-2 can be controlled individually.
[0113] Camera device 10A may include a third substrate 230. The third substrate 230 may be disposed on the outer surface of housing 210.

The plurality of sidewalls of the retainer 310 may extend from the top plate along the outer peripheral surface of the camera module 600. The sidewalls of the retainer 310 may include first to fourth sidewalls corresponding to the sidewalls of the housing 210.
[0118] The retainer 310 may include a hole 311. The hole 311 may be a hollow hole. The hole 311 may be an opening. The hole 311 may be formed to extend through the retainer 310 in the optical axis direction. The camera module 600 may be disposed in the hole 311. The hole 311 may be formed to a size corresponding to the camera module 600.
[0119] The retainer 310 may include a protrusion 312. The protrusion 312 may be formed on the upper surface of the retainer 310. An upper elastic member 410 may be coupled to the protrusion 312. The protrusion 312 may be formed to project from the upper surface of the upper plate of the retainer 310. The protrusion 312 may be formed between the corners of the upper plate of the retainer 310. The protrusion 312 may include a plurality of protrusions. The number of protrusions 312 may be configured to correspond to the number of first engagement portions 411 of the upper elastic member 410. The protrusion 312 may include four protrusions.
[0120] The retainer 310 may include a stopper 313. The stopper 313 may be formed by protruding from the upper surface of the retainer 310. The stopper 313 may restrict upward movement of the retainer 310. The stopper 313 may be an upper stopper. The stopper 313 may overlap with the upper plate 510 of the cover 500 in a direction parallel to the optical axis. The stopper 313 may include multiple protrusions.

[0123] Camera device 10A may include a magnet 320. The magnet 320 may be disposed on the outer peripheral surface of camera module 600. The magnet 320 may face coil 220. The magnet 320 may be positioned to face coil 220. The magnet 320 may electromagnetically interact with coil 220. When current is applied to coil 220, the magnet 320 may move. The magnet 320 may be a flat magnet with a plate shape. The magnet 320 may include multiple magnets. The magnet 320 may include four magnets.
[0124] Magnet 320 may include a first magnet 321. The first magnet 321 may be disposed on each of the first and second side surfaces of the camera module 600. The polarities of the upper and lower portions of the surface of the first magnet 321 facing the coil 220 may be different from each other. The first magnet 321 may be a single magnet with two magnetic poles. However, as a modified embodiment, the first magnet 321 may be a bipolar magnet formed by stacking two single magnets with two magnetic poles. The upper portion of the first magnet 321 may be an N pole and the lower portion may be an S pole. However, in a modified embodiment, the upper portion of the first magnet 321 may be an S pole and the lower portion may be an N pole. The first magnet 321 may face the first coil 221 and the second coil 222. The width of the first magnet 321 in the horizontal direction may correspond to the sum of the widths of the first coil 221 and the second coil 222.
[0125] The first magnet 321 may include a first magnet 321-1 and a first magnet 321-2. The first magnet 321-1 may be disposed on a first side surface of the camera module 600. The first magnet 321-2 may be disposed on a second side surface of the camera module 600.
[0126] Magnet 320 may include a second magnet 322. The second magnet 322 may be disposed on each of the third and fourth side surfaces of the camera module 600. The second magnet 322 may have different polarities on the two sides of the surface facing the coil 220.
[0127] The second magnet 322 can be a single magnet with two magnetic poles. However, as a modified embodiment, the second magnet 322 can be a bipolar magnet formed by stacking two single magnets with two magnetic poles. One side of the second magnet 322 can be an N pole and the other side can be an S pole. However, in a modified embodiment, one side of the second magnet 322 can be an S pole and the other side can be an N pole. In this case, one side can be the portion located on the left side of the second magnet 322, and the other side can be the portion located on the right side of the second magnet 322. The second magnet 322 can face the third coil 223. The width of the second magnet 322 in the horizontal direction can be greater than the width of the third coil 223.
[0128] The second magnet 322 may include a second first magnet 322-1 and a second second magnet 322-2. The second first magnet 322-1 may be disposed on the third side surface of the camera module 600. The second second magnet 322-2 may be disposed on the fourth side surface of the camera module 600.
[0129] Camera device 10A may include an upper elastic member 410. A portion of the upper elastic member 410 may be coupled to a retainer 310. The upper elastic member 410 may be secured to a protrusion 312 of the retainer 310 by adhesive. The upper elastic member 410 may connect the retainer 310 to a wire 420. The upper elastic member 410 may be at least partially elastic. The upper elastic member 410 may include a leaf spring.
[0130] like Figure 17 and Figure 18 As shown, in this embodiment, a contact support structure can be applied to the center of the lower surface of the camera module 600. At this time, the upper elastic member 410, equipped with a leaf spring, is formed into an offset-bending structure after assembly to create a preload structure that applies force to the entire camera module 600 in the direction of the base 110, thereby preventing posture difference sagging due to gravity. In this embodiment, the upper elastic member 410 is offset-bending to apply the preload while the product is assembled. Therefore, in this embodiment, even if a change in the direction of gravity occurs, the preload as normal drag is sufficiently large compared to the weight of the camera module 600, thus preventing sagging of the camera module 600 due to posture differences. (Refer to...) Figure 15It can be confirmed that the height difference between the first joint 411 and the second joint 412 existing in the upper elastic member 410 is used to generate (refer to) Figure 15 The upper elastic member 410 has a translational bending structure. In this embodiment, the translational bending shape of the upper elastic member 410 can be maintained in all postures where the camera module 600 is above, below, or to the side of the camera module 600. In other words, the translational bending shape of the upper elastic member 410 can be maintained in all postures where the lens 625 of the camera module 600 is positioned above, below, or at the same height as the center of the lens 625. This prevents the camera module 600 from sagging due to posture differences. Through the preload of the upper elastic member 410, a frictional force F acts between the camera module 600 and the protrusion 1211 of the elastic member 120, thereby preventing sagging due to posture differences. However, the amount of translational bending of the upper elastic member 410 can be changed according to the posture.
[0131] The upper elastic member 410 may include a first coupling portion 411. The first coupling portion 411 may be coupled to the retainer 310. The first coupling portion 411 may be coupled to the upper surface of the protrusion 312 of the retainer 310 by an adhesive. The first coupling portion 411 may be formed to have a width wider than the width of the connecting portion 413.
[0132] The upper elastic member 410 may include a second coupling portion 412. The second coupling portion 412 may be connected to the wire 420. The second coupling portion 412 may be coupled to the wire 420. The second coupling portion 412 may be coupled to the wire 420 by welding. The second coupling portion 412 may include a hole through which the wire 420 passes.
[0133] The upper elastic member 410 may include a connecting portion 413. The connecting portion 413 can connect the first connecting portion 411 and the second connecting portion 412. The connecting portion 413 may be elastic. The connecting portion 413 can elastically connect the first connecting portion 411 and the second connecting portion 412. The connecting portion 413 may be integrally formed with the first connecting portion 411 and the second connecting portion 412.
[0134] Camera device 10A may include a wire 420. The wire 420 may connect the elastic member 120 to the housing 210 or to the base 110.
