Abstract
Description
[0001] This application claims priority to Japanese Patent Application No. 2022-059565, filed with the Japan Patent Office on March 31, 2022, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field
[0002] This application relates to the field of image stabilization technology, and more particularly to a camera device. Background Technology
[0003] Today, high-performance lens modules are found in devices such as smartphones, tablets, and action cameras. These high-performance lens modules typically feature autofocus and optical image stabilization.
[0004] The autofocus function works by using an autofocus mechanism containing a voice coil motor to move the lens along the optical axis. Optical image stabilization works by using a stabilization mechanism with a voice coil motor to move the lens in a plane perpendicular to the optical axis. The high-performance lens module also includes a position detection element to detect the lens's position along the optical axis and in a plane perpendicular to the optical axis. The voice coil motor, position detection element, and imaging element, along with other components, are all connected to the control circuitry on the flexible substrate via power and signal lines.
[0005] As the number of power lines and signal lines increases, the strength of the flexible substrate also gradually increases, making it less prone to deformation. When optical image stabilization is achieved using a stabilization mechanism, the flexible substrate exerts a significant reaction force on the stabilization mechanism through the power lines and signal lines, thus hindering its movement. Summary of the Invention
[0006] This application provides a camera device that improves the motion accuracy of the image stabilization mechanism, thereby improving image clarity and user experience.
[0007] This application provides a camera device applicable to the field of image stabilization technology. The camera device includes a housing, a focus adjustment mechanism, and an image stabilization mechanism. A cavity is formed within the housing. The focus adjustment mechanism is housed within the cavity and a lens with an optical axis is mounted thereon. The image stabilization mechanism is housed within the cavity and arranged with the focus adjustment mechanism along the optical axis. The focus adjustment mechanism includes a focusing magnet and a first base. The first base is disposed on the side of the image stabilization mechanism closer to the object (the subject) along the optical axis. The focusing magnet is disposed on the first base. The image stabilization mechanism includes a second base and a flexible substrate for image stabilization fixed to the second base. A first coil is disposed on and electrically connected to the flexible substrate for image stabilization. The first coil is positioned perpendicular to the optical axis and corresponds to and spaced apart from the focusing magnet. When energized, the first coil interacts with the focusing magnet to drive the flexible substrate for image stabilization to move in a plane orthogonal to the optical axis.
[0008] The flexible substrate of the image stabilization mechanism can supply current to the first coil. When the first coil conducts current, according to Ampere's law, the first coil generates a magnetic field, and the electromagnetic field of the first coil interacts with the magnetic field of the focusing magnet. Since the focusing magnet is mounted on the first base and remains stationary, the first coil can drive the flexible substrate of the image stabilization mechanism to move. Because the magnetic poles of the focusing magnet are fixed, the flexible substrate of the image stabilization mechanism can control the magnitude and direction of the current in the first coil, control the direction of the magnetic poles and the magnetic field strength of the first coil, that is, control the magnitude and direction of the electromagnetic force between the first coil and the focusing magnet, thereby controlling the movement of the flexible substrate of the image stabilization mechanism. This allows the flexible substrate of the image stabilization mechanism to follow the movement of the image stabilization mechanism inside the camera device of this application, reducing the reaction force of the power lines and signal lines of the flexible substrate of the image stabilization mechanism on the image stabilization mechanism, thereby improving the movement accuracy of the image stabilization mechanism, improving image clarity and user experience.

The camera device also includes a camera assembly mounted on the movable frame. When energized, the image stabilization coil interacts with the image stabilization magnet to drive the movable frame and move the camera assembly in a plane orthogonal to the optical axis.
[0012] In one possible design, the flexible substrate for the image stabilization mechanism also includes a third bent surface that extends from the second bent surface in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis and is electrically connected to the camera assembly.
[0013] In one possible design, the surface of the second base facing the movable frame is provided with a first groove, and the surface of the movable frame facing the second base is provided with a second groove corresponding to the first groove. The anti-shake mechanism also includes a support member disposed in the receiving space formed by the first groove and the second groove, and the movable frame is movably supported on the second base by the support member.
[0014] In one possible design, the anti-shake mechanism also includes a conductive support plate fixed to the movable frame on the side facing the second base. The anti-shake coil is mounted on the conductive support plate and electrically connected to the flexible substrate of the anti-shake mechanism through the conductive support plate to achieve electrical connection with external circuitry.
[0015] In one possible design, the focus adjustment mechanism is an autofocus mechanism, including an autofocus bracket fitted onto the lens and a leaf spring connecting the autofocus bracket and a first base. The autofocus bracket is wound with a focusing coil, which corresponds to and is spaced apart from a focusing magnet. When energized, the focusing coil interacts with the focusing magnet to drive the autofocus bracket and the lens to move along the optical axis.
[0016] In one possible design, the focus adjustment mechanism is a zoom mechanism, and the lens includes at least two lenses spaced apart along the optical axis. The zoom mechanism is capable of changing the distance between the two lenses along the optical axis.
[0017] In one possible design, the camera device also includes a prism located on the object side and / or the image side of the lens, the prism being used to change the direction of the light path.

[0083] This application provides a camera device that can be applied in the field of image stabilization camera technology. Please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figures 1-11 As shown, the imaging device includes a housing 1, a focus adjustment mechanism 2, and an image stabilization mechanism 3. A cavity 13 is formed within the housing 1. The focus adjustment mechanism 2 is housed within the cavity 13 and has a lens 21 with an optical axis 211 mounted thereon. The image stabilization mechanism 3 is housed within the cavity 13 and arranged along the optical axis 211 with the focus adjustment mechanism 2. The focus adjustment mechanism 2 includes a focusing magnet 22 and a first base 23. The first base 23 is located on the side of the image stabilization mechanism 3 closest to the object (the subject) along the optical axis 211. A magnet 22 is disposed on the first base 23. The image stabilization mechanism 3 includes a second base 31 and a flexible substrate 32 for the image stabilization mechanism fixed to the second base 31. The flexible substrate 32 for the image stabilization mechanism is configured with and electrically connected to a first coil 324. The first coil 324 is arranged in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis 211 and corresponds to and is spaced apart from the focusing magnet 22. When energized, the first coil 324 interacts with the focusing magnet 22 to drive the flexible substrate 32 for the image stabilization mechanism to move in a plane orthogonal to the direction of the optical axis 211.
[0084] In this embodiment, the flexible substrate 32 of the image stabilization mechanism can provide current to the first coil 324. When the first coil 324 conducts current, according to Ampere's law, the first coil 324 generates a magnetic field, and the electromagnetic field of the first coil 324 interacts with the magnetic field of the focusing magnet 22. Since the focusing magnet 22 is mounted on the first base 23 and remains stationary, the first coil 324 can drive the flexible substrate 32 of the image stabilization mechanism to move. Since the magnetic poles of the focusing magnet 22 are fixed, the flexible substrate 32 of the image stabilization mechanism can control the magnitude and direction of the current in the first coil 324, control the direction of the magnetic poles and the magnetic field strength of the first coil 324, that is, control the magnitude and direction of the electromagnetic force F between the first coil 324 and the focusing magnet 22, thereby controlling the movement of the flexible substrate 32 of the image stabilization mechanism. This allows the flexible substrate 32 of the image stabilization mechanism to follow the movement of the image stabilization mechanism 3 inside the camera device of this application, reducing the reaction force of the power lines and signal lines of the flexible substrate 32 of the image stabilization mechanism on the image stabilization mechanism 3, thereby improving the movement accuracy of the image stabilization mechanism 3, improving the image clarity and the user experience.
[0085] Specifically, please refer to Figures 3-7 As shown, the flexible substrate 32 for the image stabilization mechanism includes a fixing part 321 fixed to the second base 31, a first bending surface 322 extending from the fixing part 321 and a second bending surface 323 extending from the first bending surface 322. The first bending surface 322 and the second bending surface 323 are parallel to the direction of the optical axis 211 and the first bending surface 322 is perpendicular to the second bending surface 323. A first coil 324 is disposed on both the first bending surface 322 and the second bending surface 323.
[0086] In this embodiment, since the first bending surface 322 and the second bending surface 323 where the first coil 324 is located are parallel to the direction of the optical axis 211, when the electromagnetic force F generated between the energized first coil 324 and the focusing magnet 22, or the component of the electromagnetic force F, is perpendicular to the bending surface 32, the first coil 324 can drive the flexible substrate 32 of the image stabilization mechanism to move on a plane orthogonal to the optical axis 211. That is, the motion freedom of the flexible substrate 32 of the image stabilization mechanism can be made consistent with the motion freedom of the image stabilization mechanism 3, reducing the reaction force of the power line and signal line of the flexible substrate 32 of the image stabilization mechanism on the image stabilization mechanism 3, thereby improving the motion accuracy of the image stabilization mechanism 3, improving the image clarity and the user experience.
[0087] In this embodiment, the first bending surface 322 is perpendicular to the second bending surface 323. Therefore, the electromagnetic force F between the first coil 324 located on the first bending surface 322 and the adjacent focusing magnet 22 is perpendicular to the electromagnetic force F between the first coil 324 located on the second bending surface 323 and the adjacent focusing magnet 22. By adjusting the magnitude and direction of these two mutually perpendicular electromagnetic forces F, the flexible substrate 32 of the image stabilization mechanism can be controlled to move on a plane orthogonal to the optical axis 211. In this embodiment, the vertical arrangement facilitates two-dimensional planar coordinate calculation control, and this control method is simple and easy to implement.
[0088] More specifically, please refer to Figures 4-5 As shown, the first coil 324 is a multi-layer coil winding disposed on the first bending surface 322 and the second bending surface 323.
[0089] In this embodiment, each layer of coil winding generates a magnetic field when energized. When the multi-layer coil winding is energized, they collectively form an equivalent magnetic field. A relatively large electromagnetic force F is effectively generated between the multi-layer coil winding and the adjacent focusing magnet 22. The multi-layer coil winding can be a three-dimensional spiral or a planar spiral. Please refer to... Figures 4-5 As shown, the multi-layer coil winding in this embodiment is a planar spiral shape, which allows the first bending surface 322 and the second bending surface 323 to be closer to the focusing magnet 22, and the image stabilization mechanism 3 of this application is also more miniaturized.
[0090] Alternatively, please refer to Figures 4-5 As shown, the first coil 324 is a conductive circuit printed on the first bent surface 322 and the second bent surface 323.
[0091] In this embodiment, when the control circuit on the flexible substrate 32 for the anti-shake mechanism is fabricated using an electroplating printing process, conductive circuits can also be electroplated and printed on the bent surface 32 of the flexible substrate 32 for the anti-shake mechanism, so that the conductive circuits serve as the first coil 324, thereby making the connection more reliable and the flexible substrate 32 for the anti-shake mechanism thinner.
[0092] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the image stabilization mechanism 3 also includes a movable frame 33 movably supported on the second base 31, an image stabilization coil 34 mounted on the movable frame 33, and an image stabilization magnet 35 mounted on the second base 31. The camera device also includes a camera assembly 4 mounted on the movable frame 33. When energized, the image stabilization coil 34 interacts with the image stabilization magnet 35 to drive the movable frame 33 and move the camera assembly 4 in a plane orthogonal to the direction of the optical axis 211, thereby performing image stabilization correction, improving image clarity and user experience.
[0093] Please refer to Figures 4-5 As shown, the flexible substrate 32 for the image stabilization mechanism also includes a third bending surface 325 extending from the second bending surface 323 in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis 211 and electrically connected to the camera assembly 4. The third bending surface 325 is used to provide electrical power to the camera assembly 4 and transmit and receive signals.
[0094] Please refer to Figures 7-8 As shown, the second base 31 has a first groove 311 on its surface facing the movable frame 33, and the movable frame 33 has a second groove 331 corresponding to the first groove 311 on its surface facing the second base 31. The image stabilization mechanism 3 also includes a support member 36 disposed in the receiving space formed by the first groove 311 and the second groove 331. The movable frame 33 is movably supported on the second base 31 by the support member 36, so that the movable frame 33 can move more stably in a plane orthogonal to the direction of the optical axis 211, meet the planar motion accuracy required for image stabilization correction, and improve the image clarity and user experience.
[0095] Please refer to Figures 8-9 As shown, the support member 36 includes a first support plate 361, a second support plate 362, and a ball bearing 363. The first support plate 361 is located in the first groove 311, and the second support plate 362 is located in the second groove 331. The ball bearing 363 makes rolling contact with the first support plate 361 and the second support plate 362 respectively, resulting in low resistance. The second base 31 and the movable frame 33 include three support members 36, thereby forming a planar sliding pair, so that the movable frame 33 can move rapidly in a plane orthogonal to the direction of the optical axis 211, satisfying the sensitivity required for image stabilization correction, improving image clarity and user experience.
[0096] Please refer to Figure 7 As shown, the image stabilization mechanism 3 also includes a conductive support plate 37 fixed to the movable frame 33 on the side facing the second base 31. The image stabilization coil 34 is mounted on the conductive support plate 37 and electrically connected to the flexible substrate 32 of the image stabilization mechanism through the conductive support plate 37 to achieve electrical connection with the external circuit. This allows control over the magnitude and direction of the current in the image stabilization coil 34, thereby controlling the movement direction and speed of the movable frame 33, meeting the accuracy and sensitivity required for image stabilization correction, and improving image clarity and user experience.
[0097] Please refer to Figure 7 As shown, the conductive support plate 37 is also provided with a second position detection element 38. The second position detection element 38 is used to detect the magnetic flux of the anti-shake magnet 35, thereby detecting the position change of the conductive support plate 37 (movable frame 33), thereby controlling the magnitude and direction of the current of the anti-shake coil 34, ensuring the motion accuracy of the movable frame 33, improving the image clarity and user experience.
[0098] Please refer to Figures 10-12As shown, the focus adjustment mechanism 2 can be an autofocus mechanism, including an autofocus bracket 24 sleeved on the lens 21 and a leaf spring 25 connecting the autofocus bracket 24 and the first base 23. The autofocus bracket 24 is wound with a focusing coil 26. The focusing coil 26 corresponds to and is spaced apart from the focusing magnet 22. When energized, the focusing coil 26 interacts with the focusing magnet 22 to drive the autofocus bracket 24 and the lens 21 to move along the direction of the optical axis 211.
[0099] Additionally, please refer to Figures 10-11 As shown, the leaf spring 25 suspends the autofocus bracket 24 within the cavity of the first base 23 (frame structure). The leaf spring 25 is elastic; when the focusing coil 26 is not energized, the elastic force of the leaf spring 25 causes the autofocus bracket 24 and the lens 21 to return to their original positions. The leaf spring 25 includes an upper leaf spring 251 and a lower leaf spring 252, which are located on opposite sides of the autofocus bracket 24 along the optical axis 211.
[0100] Please refer to Figure 12 As shown, the autofocus bracket 24 is provided with a first position detection magnet 29, and the flexible substrate 32 of the image stabilization mechanism is also connected to the focusing flexible substrate 27. The focusing flexible substrate 27 is equipped with a first position detection element 28. The first position detection element 28 is used to detect the magnetic flux of the first position detection magnet 29, so as to detect the position change of the lens 21 located on the autofocus bracket 24, thereby controlling the magnitude and direction of the current of the focusing coil 26 to ensure focusing accuracy, improve image clarity and user experience.
[0101] In the above embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 13 As shown, the housing 1 is divided into a front housing 11 and a rear housing 12.

[0102] In the above embodiments, please refer to Figure 13 As shown, a shock-absorbing buffer 332 is provided on the side of the movable frame 33 facing the first base 23 for abutting against the first base 23. The shock-absorbing buffer 332 is preferably a shock-absorbing gel, which can reduce the shock of the image stabilization mechanism 3 to ensure the accuracy of image stabilization correction, improve the image clarity and user experience, and can mitigate the impact of the fall when the camera device is dropped, prevent damage to the components of the image stabilization mechanism and the focus adjustment mechanism, and prevent dust generated when the camera device is dropped.
[0103] In the above embodiments, please refer to Figure 13As shown, a heat dissipation gel 333 is provided on the side of the rear shell 12 facing the movable frame 33 for contacting the camera assembly 4, so that the heat generated by the camera assembly 4 during operation can be transferred to the rear shell 12 via the heat dissipation gel 333. The rear shell 12 has a large area and is made of metal, which is conducive to the rapid transfer of heat to the external environment of the camera device, so that the temperature of the camera assembly 4 is within the normal operating temperature range, thereby improving the reliability of the camera device of this application.
[0104] Please refer to Figure 14 As shown, the focus adjustment mechanism 2 can also be a zoom mechanism. The lens 21 includes at least two lenses 212 spaced apart along the optical axis 211. The zoom mechanism can change the distance between the two lenses 212 along the optical axis 211, thereby realizing the zoom function of the camera device.
[0105] Please refer to Figure 15 As shown, the camera device may also include a prism 5 located on the object side and / or the image side of the lens 21. The prism 5 is used to change the direction of the light path 6 so that the camera device of this application can capture objects that are not parallel to or parallel to the optical axis 211 of the lens 21, thereby meeting the user's usage needs in different usage environments.
