[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of electronic equipment, and specifically relates to a camera module, electronic equipment, a testing device and a method. Background Art

[0002] In the related art, the terminals of the motor in the electronic device are installed on the side of the motor, but the space on the side of the motor is limited, which makes it impossible to arrange the terminals on the same side of the motor, which in turn makes the testing and welding process of the motor more complicated. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, this application is implemented as follows:

[0005] In the first aspect, an embodiment of the present application proposes a camera module, comprising: a lens assembly, a photosensitive assembly and a driving assembly for driving the lens assembly or the photosensitive assembly to move, the driving assembly comprising: a shell assembly and a first terminal, the shell assembly having a first end face and a second end face arranged opposite to each other, the first end face being close to the light incident side of the camera module, and the second end face being away from the light incident side; the first terminal is arranged in the shell assembly, the first terminal comprising a mounting portion and a connecting portion, the mounting portion is embedded in the shell assembly, and the connecting portion is exposed on the first end face and / or the second end face of the shell assembly.

[0006] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application proposes an electronic device, comprising the camera module of the first aspect.

[0007] In the third aspect, an embodiment of the present application proposes a testing device for testing a driving component of a camera module, including the driving component in the camera module of the first aspect, the testing device includes a probe holder, at least one spring probe is provided on the probe holder, the probe holder is used to be opposite to the first end face or the second end face of the shell assembly, so that the at least one spring probe is in contact with the first terminal.

[0008] In a fourth aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a test method for testing a driving component of a camera module, using the test device of the third aspect, the test method comprising:

[0009] Controlling the probe support to be opposite to the first end face or the second end face of the shell assembly;

[0010] The probe support is controlled to be close to the first end surface or the second end surface of the shell component, so that at least one spring probe contacts at least one first terminal.

[0011] In the present application, the first terminal is fixed by a mounting part embedded in the shell assembly, that is, the first terminal is fixed and connected by embedded metal molding technology, which replaces the flexible circuit board in the existing camera module, and can reduce the number of components of the camera module.

[0031] Combine the following Figures 1 to 9 , describing a camera module, electronic equipment, testing device and method according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0032] This application provides a camera module, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the camera module includes a lens assembly 10, a photosensitive assembly and a driving assembly for driving the lens assembly 10 or the photosensitive assembly to move, the driving assembly includes a shell assembly 100 and a first terminal 400, the shell assembly 100 has a first end face 200 and a second end face 300 arranged opposite to each other, the first end face 200 is close to the light incident side 20 of the camera module, and the second end face 300 is away from the light incident side 20; the first terminal 400 is arranged in the shell assembly 100, the first terminal 400 includes a mounting portion 420 and a connecting portion 440, the mounting portion 420 is embedded in the shell assembly 100, and the connecting portion 440 is exposed on the first end face 200 and / or the second end face 300 of the shell assembly 100.

[0033] Specifically, the camera module includes a lens assembly 10, a photosensitive assembly, and a driving assembly for driving the lens assembly 10 or the photosensitive assembly to move. The photosensitive assembly, such as an image sensor, is a core component of the camera module. The lens assembly 10 is located on the light receiving channel of the photosensitive assembly. The driving assembly includes a shell assembly 100 and a first terminal 400, wherein the shell assembly 100 serves as an assembly base for the lens assembly 10 and the photosensitive assembly, and has a first end face 200 and a second end face 300, wherein the first end face 200 is close to the light incident side 20 of the camera module, and the second end face 300 is away from the light incident side 20, that is, the first end face 200 is the front end face of the camera module as a whole, in other words, the first end face 200 is close to the external objects photographed by the camera module, and the second end face 300 is the rear end face of the camera module as a whole, that is, the second end face 300 is relatively far away from the external objects photographed by the camera module relative to the first end face 200. The first terminal 400 is arranged inside the shell assembly 100, and the first terminal 400 includes a mounting portion 420 and a connecting portion 440. The mounting portion 420 is embedded in the shell assembly 100, and the connecting portion 440 is exposed on the first end face 200 and / or the second end face 300 of the shell assembly 100. The first terminal 400 exists as a transmission medium for many signals such as camera signals, control signals and electrical signals.

[0034] More specifically, the housing assembly 100 may be made of plastic material. The driving assembly may be a driving motor for driving the lens assembly 10 or the photosensitive assembly to move.

[0035] The first terminal 400 includes a connecting portion 440 and a mounting portion 420 that are connected to each other. The first terminal 400 may be an integrally formed metal part. The connecting portion 440 is used to electrically connect to an external test device to receive or output an electrical signal. The mounting portion 420 is embedded in the shell assembly 100 so that the first terminal 400 is reliably fixed to the shell assembly 100. One end of the mounting portion 420 is connected to the connecting portion 440, and the other end of the mounting portion 420 is electrically connected to a driving coil 500 for driving the lens assembly 10 or the photosensitive assembly to move.

[0036] According to the camera module of the embodiment of the present application, the first terminal 400 is fixed by a mounting portion 420 embedded in the shell assembly 100, and is driven by connecting the drive coil 500 through the mounting portion 420. That is, the first terminal 400 is fixed and connected by embedded metal molding technology, replacing the flexible circuit board in the existing camera module, which can reduce the number of components of the camera module, and is therefore beneficial to reducing the length of the assembly process chain, reducing the impact of assembly deviations, and improving process consistency.

[0037] Secondly, the mounting portion 420 in the first terminal 400 is embedded in the shell assembly 100 and fixed to the shell assembly 100 using embedded metal forming technology, which is beneficial for making the shell assembly 100 have better structural strength and improving the impact resistance and reliability of the shell assembly 100.

[0038] Moreover, in the prior art, the test terminals are dispersed on multiple sides of the motor. The corresponding test device needs to be equipped with a set of probe holders and driving components for each side of the motor with the test terminals. During the test, it is necessary to control the multiple driving components separately to drive the corresponding multiple sets of probe holders to move from multiple sides of the motor toward the motor, thereby completing the detection of the motor.

[0039] In the present application, since the connection portion 440 is only exposed on the first end face 200 and / or the second end face 300 on the shell assembly 100, during the performance test of the driving assembly of the camera module, only a probe holder 700 that can move in a single direction is needed to complete the corresponding test process, which greatly simplifies the design and space occupied by the test equipment, reduces the difficulty of alignment and contact of the spring probe 600, and greatly simplifies the test method of the driving assembly. In addition, the automated welding process and automated testing of the driving assembly in the present application are both carried out on one plane, which is conducive to reducing the difficulty of welding, reducing deviations, and making it easier to achieve compatible use of equipment and improve process efficiency.

[0040] When the camera module is installed, since the first terminal 400 is exposed on the first end face 200 and / or the second end face 300 on the shell assembly 100, the connection of the corresponding solder joint will not occupy the side space of the camera module, which is conducive to achieving high-precision matching of the length and width of the camera module. For example, it is conducive to the positioning and matching of the drive assembly and the telescopic sleeve of the camera module to achieve miniaturization of the overall size. Moreover, integrating the first terminal for testing on one end face of the drive assembly is conducive to the overall special-shaped design of the drive assembly, especially when it is necessary to design a cylindrical motor, a polygonal motor, etc. where the space for terminal layout on the side is limited, the structure of the drive assembly of the present application can adapt to it, thereby improving the design flexibility and functional expansion convenience of the camera module.

[0041] Finally, since there is no need to arrange terminals on the sides of the shell assembly 100, a high-precision positioning structure can be set on the sides of the shell assembly 100 to improve the verticality of the optical axis of the terminal body and reduce the discreteness of the individual optical axes. For multi-camera applications, it is beneficial to reduce the compatibility problems of multi-camera coordinated photography caused by optical axis deviation and improve the image output effect.

[0042] like Figure 4As shown, the shell assembly 100 includes: a base 120 and a shell 140 , the base 120 includes a bottom plate 122 and an extension portion 124 , the extension portion 124 is connected to the bottom plate 122 and extends toward the light incident side 20 ; the shell 140 is covered on the extension portion 124 .

[0043] Specifically, the shell assembly 100 includes a base 120 and a shell 140, that is, the shell assembly 100 as a whole is a split structure, the base 120 is composed of a bottom plate 122 and an extension portion 124, the extension portion 124 is arranged on the base 120 and extends toward the light incident side 20 of the camera module, and the shell 140 covers the outside of the extension portion 124. The specific shape of the base 120 can be determined according to usage requirements, for example, its outer contour is set to a cylindrical or polygonal shape. Correspondingly, the shape of the shell 140 must match the shape of the base 120, and the shell 140 and the extension portion 124 must fit tightly.

[0044] More specifically, both the base 120 and the housing 140 should be made of insulating materials, such as plastic.

[0045] According to the camera module of the embodiment of the present application, the shell assembly 100 is set as a split structure, so that the manufacturing processability of the shell assembly 100 is improved, and the corresponding first terminal 400 can be pre-buried in the extension part 124 on the base 120, and the first terminal 400 is exposed on the bottom plate 122. The extension part 124 is covered by the shell 140, and the extension part 124 provided with the first terminal 400 can be protected to prevent it from cracking due to collision, resulting in the failure of the connection relationship between the first terminal 400 and the extension part 124, thereby improving the reliability of the camera module.

[0046] The connecting portion 440 is disposed on the first end surface 200 of the bottom plate 122 away from the housing 140 ; ​​the mounting portion 420 is embedded in the extending portion 124 .

[0047] Specifically, the connecting portion 440 is disposed on the first end surface 200 for connecting a test pin with an external test device, and the mounting portion 420 is embedded in the extending portion 124 , thereby limiting the position of the first terminal 400 as a whole relative to the extending portion 124 .

[0048] According to the camera module of the embodiment of the present application, by setting the connecting part 440 entirely on the first end face 200, the test pin of the camera module can be integrated on the first end face 200, which is convenient for detection and wiring work; and the mounting part 420 is embedded in the extension part 124, which can realize the limitation of the overall position of the first terminal 400 relative to the extension part 124, thereby ensuring the connection stability of the first terminal 400, and preventing the first terminal 400 from coming out and causing the circuit structure of the camera module to fail.

[0049] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a first groove is disposed on the first end surface 200 of the bottom plate 122 , and the connecting portion 440 is embedded in the first groove.

[0050] Specifically, in the present embodiment, the connection portion 440 is configured to be embedded, that is, embedded in a first groove provided on the first end face 200. The shapes of the first groove and the connection portion 440 match each other, so that the first end face 200 as a whole can be kept relatively flat, thereby reducing the influence of the connection portion 440 on the flatness of the first end face 200.

[0051] According to the camera module of the embodiment of the present application, since the connecting portion 440 is arranged to be embedded in the first groove, on the one hand, the first end surface 200 can be kept relatively flat as a whole, reducing the influence of the setting of the connecting portion 440 on the flatness of the first end surface 200; on the other hand, a certain bonding force can be ensured between the connecting portion 440 and the first groove, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the overall bonding between the first terminal 400 and the shell assembly 100, thereby preventing the first terminal 400 from escaping from the shell assembly 100.

[0052] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a second groove is provided on the side of the base 120 , and the mounting portion 420 is located in the second groove.

[0053] Specifically, the second groove is arranged on the side of the base 120 to accommodate the mounting portion 420. For example, the mounting portion 420 can be arranged on the base 120 in an embedded manner, specifically on the extension portion 124, that is, a second groove is opened on the extension portion 124, and the mounting portion 420 is located in the second groove.

[0054] More specifically, in order to facilitate adjustment and alignment of the mounting portion 420 , an observation window may be provided on a side of the housing 140 close to the bottom plate 122 , and the observation window exposes the mounting portion 420 to facilitate alignment and adjustment when testing the drive assembly.

[0055] According to the camera module of the embodiment of the present application, since the mounting portion 420 is arranged in the second groove, there can be a certain bonding force between the mounting portion 420 and the second groove, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the overall bonding between the first terminal 400 and the shell assembly 100, thereby preventing the first terminal 400 from escaping from the shell assembly 100, and the second groove can also be used to limit the extension direction of the mounting portion 420, thereby improving the convenience of assembly.

[0056] According to other camera modules of the present application, the connection portion 440 is disposed on the end surface of the housing 140 located on the light incident side 20 ; and / or the mounting portion 420 is embedded in the housing 140 .

[0057] Specifically, in this embodiment, the connection portion 440 is disposed at a position corresponding to the end surface of the light incident side 20 of the housing 140 , and the mounting portion 420 is embedded in the housing 140 , that is, the first terminal 400 can be disposed on the housing 140 as a whole.

[0058] According to the camera module of the embodiment of the present application, by setting the first terminal 400 as a whole on the shell 140, the position of the first terminal 400 relative to the shell assembly 100 can also be limited. Since the shell 140 is located as a whole outside the base 120, the first terminal 400 is also located as a whole outside the base 120. Setting the first terminal 400 on the shell 140 can further improve the convenience of setting the first terminal 400 and prevent the first terminal 400 from loosening.

[0059] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, according to the camera module of some other embodiments of the present application, the mounting portion 420 includes a first bending section 422, a second bending section 424 and a third bending section 426, the first bending section 422 is connected to the end of the connecting portion 440, and the first bending section 422 is bent relative to the connecting portion 440; the second bending section 424 is connected to the end of the first bending section 422 away from the connecting portion 440, and the second bending section 424 is bent relative to the first bending section 422; the third bending section 426 is connected to the end of the second bending section 424 away from the first bending section 422, and the third bending section 426 is bent relative to the second bending section 424. Through the multiple bending structures of the mounting portion 420, when the mounting portion 420 adopts an embedded fixing method of embedding the shell assembly 100, the bending structure will significantly enhance the tensile strength of the first terminal 400 and improve the reliability of the connection between the first terminal 400 and the shell assembly 100.

[0060] Specifically, the mounting portion 420 further includes a first bending segment 422, a second bending segment 424, and a third bending segment 426 that are connected to each other. The two ends of the first bending segment 422 are respectively connected to the connecting portion 440 and the second bending segment 424, and the free end of the second bending segment 424 is connected to the third bending segment 426. The connecting portion 440 and the first bending segment 422, the first bending segment 422 and the second bending segment 424, and the second bending segment 424 and the third bending segment 426 can be arranged to be perpendicular to each other, forming a shape as shown in FIG. Figure 3 The form shown.

[0061] According to the camera module of the embodiment of the present application, by connecting the first bending section 422 to the connecting portion 440, connecting the first bending section 422 to the second bending section 424, connecting the second bending section 424 to the third bending section 426, and making the above-mentioned structural supports in a mutually bent state, such as setting the connecting portion 440 and the first bending section 422, the first bending section 422 and the second bending section 424, and the second bending section 424 and the third bending section 426 to be perpendicular to each other, the reliability of the connection between the first terminal 400 and the shell assembly 100 is further improved and the difficulty of installation and manufacturing is reduced.

[0062] like Figure 2 As shown, according to some other embodiments of the camera module of the present application, the free end of the connecting portion 440 faces the outside of the shell assembly 100, the opening formed by the connecting portion 440, the first bending section 422 and the second bending section 424 faces the outside of the shell assembly 100, and the third bending section 426 is arranged at one end of the second bending section 424 close to the outside of the shell assembly 100.

[0063] According to the camera module of the embodiment of the present application, the free end of the connecting portion 440 is set to face the outer side of the shell assembly 100, which can improve the overall installation convenience of the first terminal 400; the opening formed by the connecting portion 440, the first bending section 422 and the second bending section 424 is set to face the outer side of the shell assembly 100, which can enhance the local structural strength of the inner side of the shell assembly 100 near the end of the connecting portion 440. The inner side of the shell assembly 100 is provided with a through hole for accommodating a driven component (lens assembly 10 or a sensing chip). The inner side of the shell assembly 100 near the end of the connecting portion 440 is easily impacted by external force during installation and use. Therefore, the opening is directed toward the outer side of the shell assembly 100, so that the first bending section 422 is close to the inner side of the shell assembly 100, which can enhance the strength of the inner side of the shell assembly 100. At the same time, considering that the outer side of the shell component 100 is more likely to be hit by external force and has a larger area, the third bending section 426 with the longest length is arranged at the end of the second bending section 424 close to the outer side of the shell component 100, which can enhance the structural strength of the outer side of the shell component 100. Therefore, the structural strength of the shell component 100 can be refined through the above design.

[0064] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, there are multiple first terminals 400 , and the multiple first terminals 400 are arranged along the circumference of the shell assembly 100 .

[0065] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first terminal 400 is arranged along the circumference of the shell assembly 100, which can improve the uniformity of the distribution of the first terminal 400 on the shell assembly 100, which is beneficial to ensure the overall structural strength of the shell assembly 100 and improve the assembly convenience of the first terminal 400.

[0066] According to the camera module of the embodiment of the present application, multiple first terminals 400 can realize the connectivity of multiple circuits, so that the first terminals 400 are arranged along the circumference of the shell assembly 100. On the one hand, the structural strength of the shell assembly 100 can be ensured, and on the other hand, the assembly convenience of the first terminals 400 can be improved, so that there are physical intervals between the first terminals 400, and the insulation performance between adjacent first terminals 400 can also be well guaranteed.

[0067] like Figure 7 As shown, according to some other embodiments of the camera module of the present application, a first through hole 160 is provided at one end of the shell 140 located on the light incident side 20, and a second through hole 180 is provided on the bottom plate 122. The first through hole 160 is connected to the second through hole 180 to accommodate the driven lens assembly 10 or the photosensitive assembly, and the connecting parts 440 of the multiple first terminals 400 are arranged around the first through hole 160 or the second through hole 180.

[0068] Specifically, the first through hole 160 is arranged on the housing 140 near the light incident side 20 of the camera module, and the second through hole 180 is arranged on the bottom plate 122. The first through hole 160 and the second through hole 180 are arranged corresponding to each other and are interconnected. The lens assembly 10 and the photosensitive assembly are both arranged inside the base 120, and the lens assembly 10 is located between the first through hole 160 and the second through hole 180. The photosensitive assembly, such as an image sensor, serves as a core component of the camera module. When performing video recording, external light enters the base 120 through the first through hole 160, and is collected by the photosensitive assembly after being refracted by the lens, so that normal shooting can be achieved.

[0069] More specifically, the first through hole 160, the second through hole 180, the lens assembly 10 and the photosensitive assembly are coaxially arranged to ensure the integrity and accuracy of the image acquired by the photosensitive assembly.

[0070] At the same time, the connecting parts 440 of the multiple first terminals 400 are arranged around the first through hole 160 or the second through hole 180, so that the connecting parts 440 are located as a whole in the circumference of the first through hole 160 or the second through hole 180, so as to facilitate the wiring and detection work of the corresponding camera module.

[0071] According to the camera module of the embodiment of the present application, by setting the first through hole 160 on the shell 140, setting the second through hole 180 on the bottom plate 122, and setting the lens assembly 10 and the photosensitive assembly inside the base 120, the lens assembly 10 can smoothly receive external light, refract the light and output it to the photosensitive assembly, and the photosensitive assembly analyzes and processes the light to achieve normal shooting; the connecting part 440 is located as a whole in the circumference of the first through hole 160 or the second through hole 180, so as to facilitate the wiring and detection work of the corresponding camera module.

[0072] like Figure 5 As shown, the connection portions 440 of the plurality of first terminals 400 are arranged along the edge of the first end surface 200 or the second end surface 300 .

[0073] Specifically, in this embodiment, the connection portion 440 is located at the edge of the first end face 200 or the second end face 300 to facilitate subsequent wiring work. At the same time, the connection portion 440 is located at the edge of the first end face 200 or the second end face 300, which can also increase the number of connection portions 440 that can be set on the end face, which is beneficial for the present application to integrate all test terminals on the end face of the shell assembly.

[0074] According to the camera module of the embodiment of the present application, the connecting part 440 is arranged along the edge of the first end face 200 or the second end face 300, so that the wiring terminals corresponding to the connecting part are also located at the edge of the first end face 200 or the second end face 300 during the wiring operation, thereby improving the convenience of the wiring work and improving work efficiency.

[0075] like Figure 4 As shown, the camera module also includes a coil 500 , which is located inside the shell assembly 100 and connected to the mounting portion 420 .

[0076] Specifically, the coil 500 is connected to the mounting portion 420 , which itself can be fixed relative to the shell assembly 100 , and the coil 500 receives an electrical signal from the first terminal 400 .

[0077] According to the camera module of the embodiment of the present application, the coil 500 is connected to the mounting portion 420, which can realize the transmission of electrical signals from the first terminal 400 to the coil 500, thereby realizing the movement of the lens assembly 10 and / or the photosensitive assembly, and realizing corresponding operations such as adjusting the focal length.

[0078] An embodiment of the present application also provides an electronic device, including the camera module of the above embodiment, and can achieve the same technical effect. To avoid repetition, it will not be repeated here.

[0079] In an embodiment of the present application, the electronic device includes a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a personal computer, a game console or a television, so that the first terminal 400 in the mobile phone, tablet computer, personal computer, game console or television can be installed at the bottom of the drive component base 120, so that multiple first terminals 400 can be located on the same surface, thereby simplifying the testing and welding process of the drive component, making the testing and installation of the drive component more convenient.

[0080] The present application also provides a method for testing a driving component of the camera module. Figure 8 and Fig. 9As shown, the testing device used in the testing method includes a probe holder 700 on which at least one spring probe 600 is disposed. The probe holder 700 is used to be opposite to the first end face 20 or the second end face 300 of the shell assembly 100 so that at least one spring probe 600 contacts at least one first terminal 400 .

[0081] like Figure 8 As shown, the test method for testing the driving component of the camera module provided by the present application includes:

[0082] Step 101: Control the probe support to be opposite to the first end surface or the second end surface of the shell component.

[0083] Step 102: Control the probe support to be close to the first end surface or the second end surface of the shell assembly, so that at least one spring probe contacts at least one first terminal.

[0084] The camera module is tested in this way. The function test of the camera module is realized by contacting the first terminal with the spring probe of the testing device, outputting the test current, and detecting the feedback information of the test current.

[0085] The probe holder 700 is controlled to be close to the camera module so that at least one spring probe 600 is in contact with at least one first terminal 400 .

[0086] Specifically, by controlling the same probe holder 700 disposed on the same side of the driving assembly to contact the first terminal 400 integrated on the same end surface of the driving assembly, it is only necessary to control a single driving device to control the probe holder 700. The moving direction of the probe holder 700 is also more single, and the moving path is simpler, which greatly simplifies the difficulty of control and alignment.

[0087] like Fig. 9 As shown, an embodiment of the present application also provides a testing device for testing a driving component of a camera module, including a probe holder 700, on which is provided at least one spring probe 600, and the probe holder 700 is used to be opposite to the first end face 200 and / or the second end face 300 of the shell assembly 100, so that at least one spring probe 600 is in contact with at least one first terminal 400.

[0088] Specifically, the test device includes a probe holder 700, such as a U-shaped holder or an annular holder. The openings of the U-shaped probe holder 700 and the annular probe holder 700 match the shell assembly 100 of the drive assembly, so that the multiple spring probes 600 arranged along the edge of the opening correspond to the multiple first terminals 400 arranged along the circumference of the shell assembly 100. The above design is conducive to connecting the spring probes 600 on one probe holder 700 with all the first terminals 400, thereby realizing the detection of the drive assembly through one probe holder 700.

[0089] The spring probe 600 is arranged on the probe support 700, and the extension and retraction of the spring probe 600 is achieved through an additional telescopic part. The telescopic part can be one of an electric telescopic rod or a pneumatic telescopic rod or a combination of both. By controlling the extension and retraction of the telescopic part, the spring probe 600 can be made to contact or disengage from the connecting part 440, thereby realizing the testing of the camera module.

[0090] According to the testing device for testing the driving component of the camera module according to the embodiment of the present application, the camera module can be tested by the spring probe 600 contacting or disengaging from the connecting part 440. The spring probe 600 and the connecting part 440 can be set in a one-to-one correspondence, thereby improving the testing efficiency of the testing device.

[0091] In the testing device for testing the driving component of the camera module, specifically, a plurality of mounting cavities are provided on the probe holder 700, a plurality of spring probes 600 are installed in the mounting cavities, and the plurality of mounting cavities are spaced apart on the probe holder 700 to realize the installation and fixation of the plurality of spring probes 600.

[0092] Specifically, multiple first terminals 400 are arranged on the first end face 200 of the shell assembly 100. When testing, the side of the probe holder 700 provided with the spring probe 600 is directed toward the first end face 200 provided with the multiple first terminals 400, and then the probe holder 700 is moved toward the first end face 200, so that one end of the multiple spring probes 600 respectively contacts the multiple first terminals 400, thereby realizing the performance test of the driving assembly, so that one probe holder 700 can achieve complete detection.

[0093] Specifically, multiple first terminals 400 are arranged on the second end face 300 of the shell assembly 100. When testing, the side of the probe holder 700 provided with the spring probe 600 is directed toward the second end face 300 provided with the multiple first terminals 400, and then the probe holder 700 is moved toward the direction of the second end face 300, so that one end of the multiple spring probes 600 respectively contacts the multiple first terminals 400, thereby realizing the performance test of the driving assembly, so that one probe holder 700 can achieve complete detection.

[0094] The test device for testing the driving component of the camera module in the embodiment of the present application can be an electronic device or a component in the electronic device, and the electronic device can be a terminal or other devices other than the terminal. For example, the electronic device can be a robot, etc., which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application.
