TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of camera, in particular, a rotating mechanism and a camera module thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Recently, due to the development of mobile communication technology, portable terminals such as smart phones have become widespread, and camera modules have become smaller and lighter. Therefore, at least one camera module is configured on the portable terminal body. Customers have increasingly high design requirements for camera modules. Users not only require the camera modules configured on mobile terminals to have high capacity and high performance, but also require the development of camera modules that meet the standards of digital single-lens reflex cameras (DSLR). The development of camera modules needs to meet the trend of miniaturization and lightness while maintaining high performance and high capacity.
[0003] Among them, the periscopic camera module reflects the light beam incident from the vertical direction to the front end of the camera module by arranging a reflecting prism at the front end of the traditional prism, so that the light beam can be turned from the vertical direction to the horizontal direction perpendicular to the vertical direction, and then reach the photosensitive chip through the lens assembly and the color filter, thereby ensuring that the long focal length camera module can reduce the height of the long focal length camera module while meeting the long focal length shooting effect. The camera module can be installed in electronic equipment in a horizontal manner. Therefore, the periscopic camera module can greatly realize the requirements of terminal device miniaturization and optical zoom, and can change the longer lens structure by transforming the angle of incident light and reducing the module height.
[0004] The camera module realizes the optical auto focus function (hereinafter referred to as AF function, Auto Focus, auto focus) and the optical image stabilization function (hereinafter referred to as OIS function: Optical Image Stabilization, optical image stabilization) in the shooting process through the motor. The AF function refers to the function of adjusting the focus by moving the lens system linearly in the optical axis direction through the motor, focusing on the subject, and generating a clear image at the image sensor (CMOS, CCD, etc.) located behind the lens. The OIS function refers to the technology of compensating for image blur by motor anti-vibration control when the lens is shaken due to shaking. The image sensor captures the light entering through the lens system and converts it into an image signal.
[0005] Meanwhile, the shooting angle of the camera module is related to the focal length of the optical lens. The smaller the focal length of the optical lens, the larger the shooting angle, and the stronger the shooting ability of the camera module for the near scene. Correspondingly, the larger the focal length of the optical lens, the smaller the shooting angle, and the stronger the shooting ability of the camera module for the far scene. The long-focus lens has a large focal length, so it can shoot a longer distance, and thus can shoot at a very long distance. Therefore, the long-focus lens usually has a large size, and the large long-focus lens will cause the height size of the camera module to be large. When the camera module with the long-focus lens is arranged on the electronic device, the end surface of the long-focus lens will protrude from the surface of the electronic device, which not only affects the appearance of the electronic device, but also causes the long-focus lens to be easily worn or damaged due to contact with other objects when the electronic device is used. Furthermore, it is difficult to mount a suitable motor on the long-focus lens, which may cause the overall size to be too large. SUMMARY

The direction of the Lorentz force is orthogonal to the direction of the magnetic field (Z axis) and the direction of the current in the coil 221 (X axis or Y axis) (Y axis or X axis). Since the N pole and the S pole of the magnet 222 are arranged in an arc along the Y axis, when the coil 221 is energized, the Lorentz force is converted into a torque for rotating the magnet 222 around the X axis.
[0071] In some embodiments, a spacing is formed between the coil 221 and the magnet 222, the spacing is 0.05-0.5 mm, preferably, the spacing is 0.1-0.3 mm, and preferably, the spacing is 0.1 mm.

[0072] In some embodiments, the guide slots and the supporting mechanisms are two pairs, the supporting mechanisms can be balls, at least one ball is arranged in each of the guide slots, the guide slots include a first guide slot 214 and a second guide slot 224, the supporting mechanisms include a first supporting mechanism 213 and a second supporting mechanism 223, the first guide slot 214 is symmetrically arranged on the opposite surfaces of the fixed base 40 and the first carrier 31, the second guide slot 224 is arranged on the opposite surfaces of the first carrier 31 and the second carrier 50 respectively, each of the supporting mechanisms is accommodated in each of the guide slots, the first supporting mechanism 213 is accommodated in the first guide slot 214, so that the first supporting mechanism 213 can rollably support the first carrier 31 to rotate around the Y axis, the second supporting mechanism 223 is accommodated in the second guide slot 224, so that the second supporting mechanism 223 can rollably support the second carrier 50 to rotate around the X axis. In other words, the first supporting mechanism 213 is engaged in the first guide slot 214, the second supporting mechanism 223 is engaged in the second guide slot 224, the first guide slot 214 takes the first rotation axis 201 as the central axis, the second guide slot 224 takes the second rotation axis 202 as the central axis, so that the light turning mechanism 10 can be selectively rotated along the first guide slot 214 or the second guide slot 224. Therefore, through the arrangement of the first guide slot 214 and the first supporting mechanism 213 between the first carrier 31 and the fixed base 40, when X-axis optical image stabilization is performed, the first supporting mechanism 213 always maintains dynamic support for the first carrier 31 during the rotation of the first carrier 31 around the Y axis relative to the fixed base 40, so that the first carrier 31 smoothly deviates and rotates, ensuring the accuracy of X-axis image stabilization compensation displacement, at the same time, through the arrangement of the second guide slot 224 and the second supporting mechanism 223 between the second carrier 50 and the first carrier 31, when Y-axis optical image stabilization is performed, the second supporting mechanism 223 always maintains dynamic support for the second carrier 50 during the rotation of the second carrier 50 around the X axis relative to the first carrier 31, so that the second carrier 50 smoothly tilts and rotates, ensuring the accuracy of Y-axis image stabilization compensation displacement.
[0073] In some embodiments, the balls can be partially or entirely embedded in the guide slots, the balls can not be completely fixed in the guide slots, the balls can be partially inserted into the guide slots and move in a rolling manner, or the balls can be fixed in the guide slots and move in a sliding manner.
[0074] In some embodiments, the first guide groove 214 is arc-shaped and parallel to the plane formed by the X-axis and the Z-axis, and two first guide grooves 214 are arranged in a concentric manner on the opposite surfaces of the fixed base 40 and the first carrier 31. The width (X-axis direction) of the first guide groove 214 is matched with the first supporting mechanism 213, and the length (Z-axis direction) of the first guide groove 214 can be extended along the Z-axis direction according to the requirements of the camera module, so as to allow the first supporting mechanism 213 to roll or slide in the first guide groove 214, reduce the friction, and make the first carrier 31 more flexible and accurate in rotating around the Y-axis, that is, the length of the first guide groove 214 along the Z-axis direction is greater than the length along the X-axis. When the first driving assembly 21 generates a torque around the Y-axis direction on the first carrier 31, the first carrier 31 rotates along the first guide groove 214, and the movement of the first supporting mechanism 213 along the Y-axis direction is limited.
[0075] In some embodiments, the second guide groove 224 is arc-shaped and parallel to the plane formed by the Y-axis and the Z-axis, and two second guide grooves 224 are arranged in parallel on the opposite surfaces of the first carrier 31 and the second carrier 50. The width (X-axis direction) of the second guide groove 224 is matched with the second supporting mechanism 223, and the length (Z-axis direction) of the second guide groove 224 can be extended along the Z-axis direction according to the requirements of the camera module, so as to allow the second supporting mechanism 223 to roll or slide in the second guide groove 224, reduce the friction, and make the second carrier 50 more flexible and accurate in rotating around the X-axis, that is, the inclination height of the second guide groove 224 along the plane of the Z-axis and the Y-axis is greater than the length along the X-axis. When the second driving assembly 22 generates a torque around the X-axis direction on the second carrier 50, the second carrier 50 rotates along the second guide groove 224, and the movement of the second supporting mechanism 223 along the X-axis direction is limited, as shown in Figure 8
[0076] In some embodiments, two first balls are arranged in each first guide groove 214, and the first balls are arranged in a spaced manner. Two second balls are arranged in each second guide groove 224, and the second balls are arranged in a spaced manner. The width of the first guide groove 214 is matched with the first balls, and the width of the second guide groove 224 is matched with the second balls. The number of the first balls and the second balls should not be interpreted as limiting, and the number of the first balls can be more than or less than 2, and the number of the second balls can also be more than or less than 2. The materials of the first balls and the second balls can be the same or different.
[0077] In some embodiments, the second supporting mechanism 223 can also be a guide rod 223, the second guide slot 224 is a guide rod slot 224, which is opened in the sidewall of the second carrier 50 but not through the sidewall, avoiding interference with the light steering mechanism 10, the second supporting mechanism 223 is engaged with the second guide slot 224 from the side of the first carrier 31, so that the second carrier 50 rotates along the second supporting mechanism 223 in the X direction, by utilizing the space in the X axis direction, the space in the X axis direction is expanded, not only reducing the space occupation in the Y axis direction, but also being beneficial to expand the arc length of the first guide slot 214, further increasing the anti-shake yaw angle, as shown in Figure 4 .
[0078] That is, the guide rod slot 224 is opened on the left and right sides of the second carrier 50, the guide rod 223 extends from the side of the first carrier 31 to the guide rod slot 224, and the guide rod 223 does not penetrate the light steering mechanism 10, a lubricant is coated between the guide rod 223 and the guide rod slot 224 to reduce the friction between the guide rod 223 and the guide rod slot 224. Thus, by replacing the ball structure with the guide rod 223, the height can be further reduced, the X axis direction space can be reasonably utilized, the arc of the first guide slot 214 can be expanded, and the Y axis direction space can be further saved.
[0079] In some embodiments, the bending arc of the first guide slot 214 is about 45° to 55°, so that the yaw angle of the movable carrier 30 driving the light steering mechanism 10 around the first rotation axis 201 is about ±21°. Preferably, the bending arc of the first guide slot 214 is about 50°, which meets the requirement of X axis large-angle anti-shake correction.
[0080] In some embodiments, when the second guide slot 224 is not a guide rod slot, the bending arc of the second guide slot 224 is about 13° to 18°, so that the pitch angle of the movable carrier 30 driving the light steering mechanism 10 around the second rotation axis 202 is about -8° to +3°, as shown in Figure 8 . Preferably, the bending arc of the second guide slot 224 is about 15°, which meets the requirement of Y axis large-angle anti-shake correction.
[0081] In some embodiments, the first guide slots 214 are respectively concavely formed on the opposite left and right sides of the fixed base 40 and the first carrier 31, and the first supporting mechanisms 213 are rollably supported on the left and right sides of the first carrier 31 and the fixed base 40, thereby helping to maintain the stability of the first carrier 31. Each of the first guide slots 214 is oppositely arranged with each of the first transmission units along the Y-axis direction. The first guide slots 214 are located on the outer side of the fixed base 40, and make full use of the outer side space of the fixed base 40 and the first carrier 31, so that the two first guide slots 214 have a longer arc size along the Z-axis direction. When the first carrier 31 is guided around the Y-axis by the first guide slots 214 and the first supporting mechanisms 213, a larger yaw angle can be provided for the first carrier 31, thereby facilitating the realization of a larger angle of X-axis optical image stabilization, as shown in Figure 11 . In other words, when the first guide slots 214 are outwardly arranged adjacent to the first transmission units, the first carrier 31 is easier to drive, the circle in which the two first guide slots 214 are located is larger, and the arc of the first guide slots 214 can also be longer, as shown in Figure 6 . The first guide slots 214 are located directly below the first transmission units, and the fixed base 40 increases the extension space in the X-axis direction, so that the first guide slots 214 have a longer arc size along the Z-axis direction, thereby providing a larger yaw angle for the first carrier 31, thereby facilitating the realization of a larger angle of X-axis optical image stabilization.
[0082] In some embodiments, the first rotation axis 201 is orthogonal to the plane in which the first guide slots 214 are located. The first guide slots 214 are provided with a first upper track 422 and a first lower track 316. The first upper track 422 and the second lower track 52 are oppositely arranged. The first upper track 422 is formed on the upper surface of the fixed base 40 along the X-Z plane (the plane formed by the X-axis and the Z-axis). The first lower track 316 is formed on the lower surface of the first carrier 31 along the X-Z plane. The movement trajectory of the first supporting mechanism 213 is limited between the first upper track 422 and the first lower track 316, thereby helping to guide the first carrier 31 during rotation along the Y-axis, and replacing sliding friction with rolling friction through the balls, further reducing the friction between the first carrier 31 and the fixed base 40, effectively improving the stability of the movement of the first carrier 31 during X-axis optical image stabilization, and improving the imaging quality, as shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7 .
[0083] In some embodiments, the light turning mechanism 10, the second carrier 50, the first carrier 31 and the fixed base 40 are stacked along the Y-axis direction, the fixed base 40 carries the first carrier 31, the first carrier 31 carries the second carrier 50, and the second carrier 50 carries the light turning mechanism 10.
[0084] In some embodiments, a gap is provided in each of the first guide grooves 214, which divides each of the first guide grooves 214 into two parts, so as to accommodate the first rolling balls in the first guide grooves 214 at intervals. If more first rolling balls are used, the first guide grooves 214 need to be larger in size, and if only one first rolling ball is used, the first carrier 31 will shake. In this case, the gap can be provided in the first upper track 422 and / or the first lower track 316, so as to accommodate the first rolling balls in the first guide grooves 214 at intervals, so as to maintain the spacing between the first rolling balls and help stabilize the rolling. As shown in the figure, the gap is provided in the middle of the first lower track 316, and the first rolling balls are respectively maintained in each of the gap regions. Figure 7
[0085] In some embodiments, the first carrier 31 includes a pair of first dynamic load portions 311 and a base portion 312, the first dynamic load portions 311 are respectively located outside the base portion 312, and the first transmission units are respectively fixed to each of the first dynamic load portions 311.

In this case, the inclined surface 12 of the light turning mechanism 10 is bonded together with the support surface 53 by glue, which can effectively prevent the light turning mechanism 10 from sliding downward, so as to stably maintain the light turning mechanism 10 in the second carrier 50.
[0087] In some embodiments, the fixed base 40 comprises a circuit board 41 and a base 42, the first upper track 422 of the first guide slot 214 is symmetrically formed on the outer side of the base 42, the circuit board 41 is attached to the base 42, the first actuating unit and the second actuating unit are electrically connected to the circuit board 41, the sidewall of the base 42 is provided with a plurality of openings 421, and the first actuating unit and the second actuating unit are accommodated in the openings 421. When the X-axis anti-shake correction is performed, the first actuating unit is powered through the circuit board 41, and the first driving assembly 21 drives the first carrier 31 to rotate around the Y-axis; when the Y-axis anti-shake correction is performed, the second actuating unit is powered through the circuit board 41, and the second driving assembly 22 drives the second magnet 222 to rotate around the X-axis, thereby driving the second carrier 50 to rotate. Since only the second carrier 50 and the light turning mechanism 10 therein need to be driven to rotate, the Y-axis anti-shake stroke only needs a relatively small driving force to be achieved, without the need to drive the entire movable carrier 30 to pitch, thereby reducing power consumption, and the volume and number of the second actuating unit can be smaller than those of the first actuating unit. Therefore, the number of the second actuating unit is one, and the number of the first actuating unit is two. That is, by separately controlling the Y-axis anti-shake stroke and the X-axis anti-shake stroke, the burden of each component can be reduced, the entire movable carrier 30 does not need to be moved in the Y-axis anti-shake stroke, and the Y-axis large-angle anti-shake stroke can be effectively increased under the condition of a certain driving force.
[0088] In some embodiments, the circuit board 41 is an FPC (flexible circuit board 41), the first actuating unit and the second actuating unit are fixed to the circumferential side of the fixed base 40, so that assembly is more convenient, without the need to arrange the actuating unit on the bottom surface, thereby saving the bottom surface space.

The second magnetic sensing element 822 can sense the magnetic field change applied by the second magnetic element 821, and further detect the pitch angle of the second carrier 50.
[0093] In some embodiments, when the driving assembly is a coil 221 and a magnet 222, no additional magnetic element is needed to provide a magnetic field.
