Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of camera modules, and particularly to a camera module for realizing chip anti-shake and reducing height. BACKGROUND

[0002] At present, most of the automatic focusing camera modules are driven by VCM (Voice Coil Motor) voice coil motors to move the lens to realize focusing and OIS anti-shake functions. However, with the increasing requirements of terminal devices such as mobile phones and cameras on the camera quality, the size of the image sensor of the camera is designed to be larger and larger, and the lens is also heavier and heavier. For the voice coil motor, the load is also getting larger and larger. Therefore, in order to overcome the gradually increasing load to drive the lens to move, the size of the voice coil motor also needs to be adjusted to be larger and larger. Therefore, the existing camera module has the problem of large overall structure size after being assembled, and when the camera module is assembled into the terminal device, it occupies a large space, so the terminal device also needs to be adjusted in size, which does not meet the existing terminal devices, such as the trend of mobile phone thinning.

[0003] Furthermore, the existing voice coil motor structure generally includes a shell, a lens carrier, a driving coil, a driving magnet and a suspension spring. The lens carrier is used to carry the lens, and its two ends are installed in the shell through the suspension spring. The driving coil is arranged on the lens carrier, and the driving magnet is arranged on the shell. When the driving coil is energized, the magnetic field generated by the driving coil interacts with the magnetic field of the magnet, thereby driving the lens carrier and the lens above it to move on the shell to focus, and the suspension spring provides elastic force to the lens carrier to realize OIS anti-shake and keep the lens carrier stable. However, in the above motor structure, the damping structure composed of the suspension spring and other components occupies a large space in the motor, so after being assembled into the motor structure, the size of the motor structure is increased, and when the motor is assembled into the camera module, the structure size of the camera module is also increased.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0035] The specific embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely intended to illustrate and explain the present application, and are not intended to limit the present application.

[0036] Please refer to Figures 1-5 , Figure 6 , Figure 9The embodiment provides a camera module with chip anti-shake and reduced height, which comprises a shell 1, a base 11, a filter 5, a support seat 6, a PCB 7, an image sensor 9 and an elastic plate 10. The shell 1 is provided with an inner cavity 106, and the base 11 is inserted into the bottom of the inner cavity 106 of the shell 1. The inner cavity 106 is communicated with the outside through a connecting through hole 101 at the upper end surface of the shell 1, and a lens (not shown in the figure) is arranged at the upper end surface of the shell 1 and located above the connecting through hole 101. The support seat 6 and the PCB 7 are movably arranged in the inner cavity 106, and the support seat 6 is fixedly arranged at the upper end surface of the PCB 7. The PCB 7 is provided with a containing hole 701 penetrating the upper and lower end surfaces thereof, and the containing hole 701 is used for transmitting light to smoothly reach the upper surface of the image sensor 9. The filter 5 is arranged in the support seat 6 and located below the lens, and the filter 5 is used for filtering light. The elastic plate 10 is arranged at the upper end surface of the base 11 and located below the PCB 7. The image sensor 9 is arranged at the upper end surface of the elastic plate 10, arranged in the containing hole 701 and located below the filter 5. A plurality of coils 3 are arranged at the upper end surface of the PCB 7 and around the support seat 6, a plurality of magnets 2 are arranged in the inner cavity 106 of the shell 1, and the plurality of coils 3 and the plurality of magnets 2 are one-to-one corresponding. In the embodiment, when the camera module performs a camera shooting work, the lens converges and transmits the light of the observed target into the filter 5, the light is filtered at the filter 5, then the light is projected to the image sensor 9 after passing through the support seat 6, and the light source is calculated to form an image at the image sensor 9, so that the camera shooting work is completed.When the camera module is focusing, the elastic plate 10 is connected with the electric circuit, the image sensor 9 is electrically connected with the elastic plate 10, the coil 3 on the upper end surface of the PCB 7 is electrified, the magnetic field generated by the coil 3 and the magnetic field of the magnet 2 attract or repel each other, so as to drive the support base 6 and the PCB 7 to move. In fact, the image sensor 9 is arranged on the substrate in the middle region of the elastic plate 10, and the coil 3 and the magnet 2 drive the support base 6 and the PCB 7 to move up and down. When the PCB 7 moves up, the image sensor 9 arranged on the substrate in the middle region of the elastic plate 10 moves up together, which pushes the elastic plate 10 upward. When the PCB 7 moves down, the image sensor 9 arranged on the substrate in the middle region of the elastic plate 10 moves down together, which pushes the elastic plate 10 downward. In this way, the image sensor 9 moves up and down to focus. In addition, the elastic plate 10 provides elastic force to the image sensor 9 to prevent vibration, which can reduce the generation of resonance, thereby ensuring the shooting quality. After the image sensor 9 moves to the corresponding position, the elastic force provided by the elastic plate 10 and the driving force generated by the coil 3 and the magnet 2 are balanced, so that the image sensor 9 is in a stable state for shooting. After shooting is completed, the coil 3 is de-energized, the coil 3 and the magnet 2 do not generate force, and the elastic force provided by the elastic plate 10 can conveniently reset the image sensor 9.

[0037] In the embodiment, the filter 5 is arranged in the support base 6, and the accommodating hole 701 is arranged on the PCB 7. The image sensor 9 is arranged in the accommodating hole 701 after being mounted on the upper end surface of the elastic plate 10.

In addition, the elastic plate 10 is used to prevent vibration in the camera module, which replaces the suspension spring in the voice coil motor structure in the prior art, further reduces the structure height of the camera module, and further optimizes the structure of the camera module.

[0039] Further, the support seat 6 is provided with a position sensor (not shown in the figure), which monitors the position of the image sensor 9 in real time during focusing, so as to accurately move the image sensor 9 to the corresponding position, and realize accurate focusing. The position sensor can be a Hall sensor, and the specific structure and working principle of the Hall sensor can be known from the prior art, which will not be described here.

[0040] Further, please refer to Figure 2 , Figures 4-8The side of the support base 6 is provided with a plurality of damping pins 4, and the shell 1 is provided with a plurality of damping glue grooves 102, the damping pins 4 and the damping glue grooves 102 are correspondingly arranged, preferably, in the embodiment, the side of the support base 6 is provided with four damping pins 4, and the cavity top surface of the inner cavity 106 of the shell 1 is provided with four damping glue grooves 102, and the damping pins 4 are correspondingly arranged in the damping glue grooves 102, wherein, through the corresponding cooperation of the damping pins 4 and the damping glue grooves 102, the vibration generated when the support base 6, the PCB 7 and the image sensor 9 move upward can be reduced, and the lens can be quickly stabilized when the lens is shaken during shooting, thereby improving the shooting quality, and through the cooperation of the damping pins 4 and the damping glue grooves 102, the position of the support base 6 can be positioned, and the support base 6 and the shell 1 can be quickly connected and matched.

[0041] Further, please refer to Figures 2-3 、 Figures 6-11 , the lower end surface of the PCB 7 is provided with a connecting plate 8, the connecting plate 8 is in a square frame structure and is arranged around the containing hole 701, and the lower end of the connecting plate 8 abuts against the elastic plate 10 and is connected and fixed by a glue layer, and the upper end surface also abuts against the PCB 7 and is connected and fixed by a glue layer, the connecting plate 8 is arranged between the PCB 7 and the elastic plate 10, the connecting plate 8 connects the middle structure of the elastic plate 10, and the connecting plate 8 has a supporting effect on the PCB 7. Wherein, in the process of moving the PCB 7 downward, the connecting plate 8 can move downward together, thereby pushing the substrate structure of the middle region of the elastic plate 10, and driving the image sensor 9 to move for focusing; at the same time, the connecting plate 8 supports the PCB 7, so that the PCB 7 can be stably arranged above the elastic plate 10, and the PCB 7 and the image sensor 9 are isolated, so that they do not interfere with each other.

[0042] In a further scheme, the elastic plate 10 is provided with a plurality of square hollow holes 1002, and the plurality of hollow holes 1002 are arranged side by side to form a plurality of elastic arms in the form of strips (see Figure 10 ), and the structure surrounded by the plurality of elastic arms is a first substrate 1003, that is, the substrate of the middle region of the elastic plate 10 is the first substrate 1003, the structure outside the plurality of elastic arms is a second substrate 1004, the first substrate 1003 and the second substrate 1004 are both hard plates, and are connected by the elastic arms; wherein the plurality of elastic arms are arranged side by side around the first substrate 1003, the plurality of elastic arms are used to provide elastic force for resetting the first substrate 1003, the first substrate 1003 supports the image sensor 9 at the upper end surface thereof, and the first substrate 1003 is located directly below the connecting plate 8, the first substrate 1003 is electrically connected with the image sensor 9, specifically, the lower end surface of the connecting plate 8 abuts against the upper end surface of the first substrate 1003, and the structure of the connecting plate 8 surrounds the image sensor 9, when the connecting plate 8 moves downward, the first substrate 1003 and the image sensor 9 thereon are driven to move together, so as to focus, and the elastic arms at the hollow holes 1002 are stretched during the movement of the first substrate 1003, so as to provide elastic force for the first substrate 1003 of the elastic plate 10, thereby preventing the image sensor 9 from shaking and facilitating the resetting of the image sensor 9. During the movement of the first substrate 1003 downward, that is, during the movement of the first substrate 1003 toward the base 11, the base 11 is provided with a groove 1114 at the upper end surface to avoid the movement of the first substrate 1003, the area of the groove 1114 is the same as that of the first substrate 1003 and is located directly below the first substrate 1003, so as to provide space for the movement of the first substrate 1003 by the groove 1114 during the movement of the first substrate 1003 downward, avoiding the first substrate 1003, thereby avoiding damage to the movement of the first substrate 1003.

[0043] In addition, the first substrate 1003 and the second substrate 1004 of the elastic plate 10 can be ceramic substrates, which can guide the heat generated by the image sensor 9 to the outside through the elastic plate 10 when the image sensor 9 is working, so as to achieve the effect of heat dissipation.

[0044] Furthermore, it is worth noting that the second substrate 1004 of the elastic plate 10 is fixedly positioned within the limiting chamber 1112 of the base 11.

Therefore, the first substrate 1003, the connecting plate 8, the PCB 7, and the support base 6 are sequentially and fixedly connected, forming a stable whole. After the second substrate 1004 of the elastic plate 10 is fixed, during the movement of the PCB7 and support base 6 driven by the coil 3 and magnet 2, the first substrate 1003 and the image sensor 9 will move together to focus, but the second substrate 1004 will not move. Moreover, the first substrate 1003, the connecting plate 8, the PCB7 and the support base 6 form a stable whole. During the focusing process, these four move synchronously, and there will be no situation where the position of the PCB7, the support base 6 or the connecting plate 8 shifts and affects the focusing work, thus ensuring the shooting quality.

[0045] For further details, please refer to Figure 1 , Figures 5-6 , Figure 11 A limiting frame 1111 is provided along the edge of the upper end surface of the base 11. The space surrounded by the limiting frame 1111 is a limiting chamber 1112. The limiting chamber 1112 is used to install the second substrate 1004, and the size of the limiting chamber 1112 corresponds to that of the second substrate 1004. This prevents the second substrate 1004 from shifting after installation and affecting the camera module's imaging operation. Meanwhile, the groove 1114 is located in the middle of the limiting chamber 1112 and corresponds to the first substrate 1003 above it, allowing the first substrate 1003 to move and focus within the limiting chamber 1112.

The image sensor 9 is installed on the upper surface of the elastic plate 10 and can be correspondingly housed in the receiving hole 701. This can improve space utilization, reduce the height of the camera module, and adjust the structural dimensions of other components accordingly, ultimately optimizing the overall size of the camera module and achieving a miniaturized design. At the same time, in this application, the elastic plate 10 is used for image stabilization inside the camera module, replacing the suspension spring in the prior art, which can further reduce the structural height of the camera module and further optimize the structure of the camera module.

[0050] 2. In this application, the elastic plate 10 is fitted into the limiting chamber 1112 of the base 11 and then fixed by the outer shell 1, so that the elastic plate 10 is stably set, thereby preventing it from shifting during focusing and affecting the focusing effect. At the same time, it can stably support the image sensor 9, thereby reducing shaking and further improving the imaging effect.

[0051] 3. In this application, the elastic plate 10 can be set as a ceramic substrate. When the image sensor 9 is working, the heat generated by the image sensor 9 can be discharged through the elastic plate 10 to achieve heat dissipation and thus ensure that the working environment of the image sensor 9 remains stable.

[0052] 4. In this application, during the upward movement of PCB7 and support 6, the damping pin 4 and damping groove 102 work together to reduce the vibration caused by contact or collision with housing 1 when moving upward, thereby reducing lens shake and keeping the lens stable, thus ensuring shooting quality.

[0053] 5. In this application, a position sensor is set inside the camera module. The position sensor monitors the position relationship of the image sensor 9 in real time during the focusing process, so that the image sensor 9 can be accurately moved to the corresponding position to achieve precise focusing.

[0054] 6. In this application, focusing is achieved by driving the image sensor 9 to move, which is different from the prior art that focuses by driving the lens to move. Moreover, since the lens is heavier and larger than the image sensor 9, the driving load in this application is smaller. Therefore, focusing can be achieved faster with the same driving force, which facilitates shooting. Furthermore, without needing to provide a large driving force, the motor structure can be adjusted accordingly to make it more miniaturized, thereby optimizing the overall structure of the camera module.
