Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of camera technology, specifically to a camera module and terminal. Background Technology

[0002] With the gradual development of terminal technology, setting up a camera module for image acquisition has become a basic function of terminals. This camera module is electrically connected to the terminal's motherboard. After acquiring images, the terminal processes and displays the captured images. Currently, most camera modules are assembled by rotating them along a parallel optical axis, which offers advantages in assembly strength and alignment.

[0003] However, the rotational assembly method requires the design of assembly mechanisms such as threads, clamps, and slots around the camera module, resulting in a larger camera module size that cannot be accommodated in a smaller terminal. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above, it is necessary to propose a camera module and terminal to enable the camera module to be miniaturized, so that the camera module can be accommodated in a smaller terminal.

[0005] This application provides a camera module applied in a terminal body. The camera module includes a lens module and a mounting module. The lens module includes a lens and a connector connected to the lens, with the connector located on the image side of the lens. The mounting module is fixedly mounted on the terminal body. The mounting module has a base on the side facing the lens module, and the base has a light-transmitting hole. The connector includes a first mating component, and the base includes a second mating component. When the mounting module and the lens module are connected, the first mating component is inserted into the second mating component along a direction perpendicular to the optical axis of the lens, so that the connector is engaged with the base.

[0006] During installation, the camera module provided in the above embodiments has its base fixedly mounted on the terminal body. The first mating component is inserted into the second mating component along the direction perpendicular to the optical axis of the lens, so that the lens module is mounted on the mounting module in a translational manner. That is, the lens module is mounted on the terminal body through the mounting module in a translational manner. Since the lens module is slidably mounted to the second mating component connected to the mounting module on the terminal body through the first mating component of the connector, there is no need to design assembly mechanisms such as threads, clamps, and slots around the lens module, reducing the size of the lens module and enabling miniaturization. This is beneficial for accommodating the lens module in a smaller terminal, allowing the terminal to achieve a miniaturized design. In addition, the sliding installation of the lens module and the mounting module in a translational manner is simple and quick, reducing installation difficulty. In practical applications, different lens modules on the terminal can be replaced according to different shooting needs, expanding the shooting range of the terminal and improving the user's shooting experience.

[0007] In one embodiment, the second mating component includes a first slide groove and a second slide groove, which are respectively formed on two opposite outer side walls of the base; the first mating component includes a first slider and a second slider, which have an opening facing the base, and the first slider and the second slider are respectively adapted to the first slide groove and the second slide groove. The extension directions of the first slider, the second slider, the first slide groove, and the second slide groove are all parallel to an insertion direction, which is perpendicular to the optical axis of the lens. The first slider and the second slider are respectively inserted into the first slide groove and the second slide groove along the insertion direction so that the connector is engaged with the base.

[0008] The aforementioned camera module, with its lens module and mounting module, utilizes a sliding groove design with the first and second mating components during sliding installation. This design ensures smoothness and positioning accuracy during the translational sliding installation of the lens module and mounting module, thereby improving their installation precision.

[0009] In one embodiment, a retaining member is provided on the inner sidewall of the connector opposite to the opening, and the retaining member is located between the first slider and the second slider; when the first slider and the second slider are respectively inserted into the first groove and the second groove along the insertion direction so that the connector is engaged with the base, the retaining member abuts against the outer sidewall of the base.

[0010] In the aforementioned camera module, the lens module and the mounting module are slidably installed, and the abutment is pressed against the outer wall of the base to limit the degree of sliding of the connecting parts and ensure the installation accuracy of the lens module and the mounting module.

[0011] In one embodiment, the mounting module further includes a locking assembly, which includes a base and locking members. The base is connected to the base plate, and a mounting groove is provided on the side of the base away from the lens module. There are two locking members, both of which are movably disposed in the mounting groove and correspond to the first slider and the second slider, respectively. The direction of movement of the locking members in the mounting groove is perpendicular to the insertion direction and the optical axis direction of the lens, respectively. When the mounting module and the lens module are connected, the two locking members move in the mounting groove to connect with the first slider and the second slider, respectively.

[0012] The aforementioned camera module is connected to the first slider and the second slider respectively by two locking parts of the locking assembly to fix the first mating component of the connector, ensuring that the connector and the base have good assembly strength and alignment effect after sliding assembly.

[0013] In one embodiment, both the first slider and the second slider have stepped grooves formed on the side away from the lens, and the two stepped grooves correspond to the two locking members respectively; when the mounting module and the lens module are connected, the two locking members move in the mounting groove to insert into the stepped grooves corresponding to the first slider and the second slider, and abut against the groove wall of the stepped groove.

[0014] The aforementioned camera module has stepped grooves formed on both the first and second sliders, allowing the locking member to be inserted into the corresponding stepped groove and abut against the groove wall to connect with the corresponding first and second sliders, thereby fixing the first mating component of the connector.

[0015] In one embodiment, the locking member has a locking part at one end for insertion into the stepped groove. The locking part is wedge-shaped, and the locking part of the locking member is inserted into the corresponding stepped groove and abuts against the groove wall of the stepped groove.

[0016] The aforementioned camera module has a wedge-shaped locking part on the locking member, which extends into the stepped groove of the first slider and the second slider and abuts against the groove wall of the stepped groove.

[0017] In one embodiment, the locking member includes a first locking member and a second locking member, the mounting groove includes a first mounting groove and a second mounting groove, the first locking member is movably disposed in the first mounting groove, the second locking member is movably disposed in the second mounting groove, and the first locking member and the second locking member move in opposite directions; the first locking member includes a first meshing bar, the second locking member includes a second meshing bar, the locking assembly further includes an elastic member and a rotating wheel, the rotating wheel is rotatably disposed in the mounting groove, the rotating wheel is located between and engages with the first meshing bar and the second meshing bar, the elastic member is embedded in the first mounting groove and abuts against the first mounting groove and the first meshing bar, or the elastic member is embedded in the second mounting groove and abuts against the second mounting groove and the second meshing bar; when the mounting module and the lens module are connected, the first locking member and the second locking member are respectively inserted into the stepped grooves corresponding to the first slider and the second slider under the elastic action of the elastic member, and abut against the groove wall of the stepped groove.

[0018] The aforementioned camera module, by defining the specific structure of the locking component, enables the locking member to lock the first slider and the second slider.

[0019] In one embodiment, the locking assembly further includes a driving member slidably embedded in the base and connected to the locking member, with one end of the driving member away from the locking member extending outside the base; when the driving member is connected to the first locking member, and the mounting module and the lens module are connected, the driving member drives the first locking member to move toward the second locking member, and the rotating wheel drives the second locking member to move toward the first locking member; or, when the driving member is connected to the second locking member, and the mounting module and the lens module are connected, the driving member drives the second locking member to move toward the first locking member, and the rotating wheel drives the first locking member to move toward the second locking member.

[0020] The aforementioned camera module, by setting the aforementioned driving component, achieves the effect of manually driving the first or second meshing bar to slide, thereby realizing the detachable connection between the connector and the base.

[0021] In one embodiment, the mounting module further includes a locking assembly, which includes a base and locking members. The base is connected to the base, and there are two locking members. Both locking members are fixed to the base and correspond to the first slider and the second slider, respectively. When the mounting module and the lens module are connected, the two locking members are respectively engaged with or attracted to the first slider and the second slider.

[0022] The aforementioned camera module is engaged or attracted to the corresponding first and second sliders by the locking component of the locking assembly, thereby fixing the first mating component of the connector and ensuring that the connector and the base have good assembly strength and alignment effect after sliding assembly.

[0023] In one embodiment, a positioning element is provided between the lens-facing side of the first slider and the lens-facing side of the second slider and the groove wall opposite to the lens of the first slide groove and the second slide groove, and at least one of the lens-facing side of the first slider and the second slider and the groove wall opposite to the lens is provided with a groove for accommodating the positioning element.

[0024] The aforementioned camera module, by setting the aforementioned grooves or positioning components, on the one hand, ensures that the first and second sliders and the corresponding groove walls of the first and second slides will not directly contact each other due to the positioning components, thereby reducing the friction between each slider and the corresponding groove walls of each slide and improving the smoothness of sliding assembly. On the other hand, when the positioning component falls into the corresponding groove, it indicates that the sliding assembly of the first mating component of the connector and the second mating component of the base has been completed, thus ensuring the alignment effect between the connector and the base.

[0025] In one embodiment, the bottom of the first slide and the second slide are both flat, and the side of the first slider and the second slider that contacts the bottom of the corresponding first slide and the second slide is provided with an arc-shaped contact portion; when the mounting module and the lens module are connected, the contact portion abuts against the bottom of the corresponding first slide and the bottom of the corresponding second slide, respectively.

[0026] The aforementioned camera module, by providing the aforementioned arc-shaped contact portion on each slider, reduces the friction between each slider and the bottom of each groove, thereby ensuring better smoothness during the sliding assembly of the connector and the base.

[0027] In addition, this application embodiment also provides a terminal, including a terminal body and a camera module as described in any of the above technical solutions, wherein the mounting module is fixed to the terminal body and the lens module is connected to the mounting module.

[0028] In the terminal provided in the above embodiments, the base of the mounting module is fixedly mounted on the terminal body. The first mating component of the connector is inserted into the second mating component of the base along the direction perpendicular to the optical axis of the lens, so that the lens module is mounted on the mounting module in a translational manner. That is, the lens module is mounted on the terminal body in a translational manner through the mounting module. Since the lens module is slidably mounted to the second mating component connected to the mounting module of the terminal body through the first mating component of the connector, there is no need to design assembly mechanisms such as threads, clamps, and slots around the lens module, reducing the size of the lens module and enabling a miniaturized design. This is beneficial for accommodating the lens module in a smaller terminal, allowing the terminal to achieve a miniaturized design. In addition, the sliding installation of the lens module and the mounting module in a translational manner is simple and quick, reducing installation difficulty. In practical applications, different lens modules on the terminal can be replaced according to different shooting needs, expanding the shooting range of the terminal and improving the user's shooting experience.

Thus, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the stated features. In the description of this application, it should be noted that "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or a connection that allows communication between the components; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication between two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0104] The following will describe some embodiments of this application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0105] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this application embodiment provides a camera module 100, which is applied to the terminal body 200 (see [link]). Figure 15 As shown, the camera module 100 is mounted on the terminal body 200 to form a terminal 1 with image acquisition function (see [reference]). Figure 15 (As shown). The camera module 100 includes a lens module 10 and a mounting module 20. The lens module 10 includes a lens 11 and a connector 12 connected to the lens 11. The connector 12 is located on the image side of the lens 11, and the lens 11 has an optical axis 111. The mounting module 20 is fixedly mounted on the terminal body 200. The mounting module 20 has a base 21 on the side facing the lens module 10. The base 21 is used to fix the mounting on the terminal body 200. The base 21 has a light-transmitting hole 21a, which extends along the optical axis 111. The light-transmitting hole 21a is used to allow light adjusted by the lens 11 to pass through and be incident on the photosensitive element (not shown) inside the terminal body 200. The connector 12 includes a first mating component, and the base 21 includes a second mating component. When the mounting module 20 and the lens module 10 are connected, the first mating component of the connector 12 is inserted into the second mating component of the base 21 along a direction perpendicular to the optical axis 111 of the lens 11, so that the connector 12 is snapped onto the base 21, thereby enabling the lens module 10 and the mounting module 20 to slide together. This allows the lens module 10 to slide together with the terminal body 200 via the mounting module 20 in a translational manner. The first mating component of the connector 12, along a direction perpendicular to the optical axis 111 of the lens 11, is inserted into the second mating component of the base 21. Figure 2 The second mating component of the base 21 is inserted in the insertion direction 100a shown, and the insertion direction 100a is perpendicular to the optical axis 111 of the lens 11.

[0106] In order to achieve locking of the connector 12 and improve the assembly strength of the camera module 100, in this embodiment, the mounting module 20 further includes a locking component 22. The locking component 22 is used to lock the first mating component of the connector 12 after the first mating component of the connector 12 is inserted into the second mating component of the base 21, so that the connector 12 and the base 21 are fixedly assembled and will not separate during actual use, thereby improving the assembly strength of the camera module 100.

[0107] Please refer to the following: Figures 3 to 7 As shown, the second mating assembly includes a first slide groove 210 and a second slide groove 211, which are respectively formed on two opposite outer side walls of the base 21. The bottom of both the first slide groove 210 and the second slide groove 211 is flat. The first mating assembly includes a first slider 121 and a second slider 122, with an opening 120 formed between the first slider 121 and the second slider 122 facing the base 21. The connector 12 is approximately C-shaped through the opening 120. The first slider 121 and the second slider 122 are respectively adapted to the first slide groove 210 and the second slide groove 211. The extending directions of the first slider 121, the second slider 122, the first slide groove 210, and the second slide groove 211 are all parallel to the insertion direction 100a. The first slider 121 and the second slider 122 are respectively inserted into the first slide groove 210 and the second slide groove 211 along the insertion direction 100a so that the connector 12 is engaged with the base 21.

[0108] Thus, during sliding installation, the first mating component of the lens module 10 and the second mating component of the mounting module 20, in conjunction with the design of each slider and each groove, ensure good smoothness and positioning accuracy of the lens module 10 and the mounting module 20 during the sliding installation process, thereby improving the installation accuracy of the lens module 10 and the mounting module 20. It should be noted that after the first slider 121 and the second slider 122 are respectively inserted into the corresponding first groove 210 and second groove 211, the locking component 22 locks the portions of the first slider 121 and the second slider 122 that extend out of the first groove 210 and the second groove 211, thereby achieving the locking effect on the connector 12. Here, each slider represents the first slider 121 and the second slider 122, and each groove represents the first groove 210 and the second groove 211.

[0109] It is understood that in other embodiments, the first mating component may include two columnar (circular, polygonal, etc.) components, which are spaced apart on the connector 12. The second mating component may include two through holes, which are spaced apart on the base 21. The first mating component is inserted into the corresponding two through holes by means of the two columnar components to achieve the insertion with the second mating component, so that the connector 12 is snapped onto the base 21, and the locking component 22 locks the parts of the two columnar components that extend out of the corresponding two through holes.

[0110] In this embodiment, a retaining member 123 is provided on the inner sidewall of the connector 12 opposite to the opening 120. The two ends of the retaining member 123 are respectively connected to the first slider 121 and the second slider 122. When the first slider 121 and the second slider 122 are inserted into the corresponding first groove 210 and second groove 211 along the insertion direction 100a so that the connector 12 is engaged with the base 21, the retaining member 123 abuts against the outer sidewall of the base 21. Thus, by abutting against the outer sidewall of the base 21, the sliding degree of the connector 12 is limited, ensuring the installation accuracy of the lens module 10 and the mounting module 20. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the two ends of the retaining member 123 may also be spaced apart from at least one of the first slider 121 and the second slider 122.

[0111] In this embodiment, the outer wall of the base 21 is also provided with opposing mounting grooves 212 and clearance grooves 213. The mounting groove 212, the first sliding groove 210, the clearance groove 213, and the second sliding groove 211 are connected end to end in sequence. The bottom of the mounting groove 212 and the bottom of the clearance groove 213 are both arc surfaces. The clearance groove 213 is used to avoid the abutment member 123 of the connector 12 when the connector 12 is slidably assembled with the base 21. The mounting groove 212 is used to install the locking component 22. Thus, by setting the mounting groove 212 and clearance groove 213, the volume of the camera module 100 is reduced, enabling a miniaturized design. It is understood that in other embodiments, when the abutment member 123 is omitted, the clearance groove 213 can be selectively omitted, and the specific setting can be determined according to the actual situation.

[0112] In this embodiment, specifically, the base 21 includes a first body 214, a second body 215, a third body 216, and a fourth body 217 connected sequentially. A light-transmitting hole 21a passes through the first body 214, the second body 215, the third body 216, and the fourth body 217. Along a direction perpendicular to the optical axis 111, the diameters of the first body 214 and the third body 216 are both larger than the diameter of the second body 215, forming a first groove 210, a second groove 211, a mounting groove 212, and a clearance groove 213 between the first body 214, the second body 215, and the third body 216. The fourth body 217 is connected to the side of the third body 216 opposite to the second body 215. Along a direction perpendicular to the optical axis 111, the diameter of the fourth body 217 is larger than the diameter of the third body 216. Thus, by limiting the diameter of the fourth body 217 to be larger than the diameter of the third body 216, the fourth body 217 can be glued to the inside of the terminal body 200, and the third body 216 is embedded in the mounting hole 202 of the terminal body 200 (see [link]). Figure 17 As shown, this improves the connection stability between the base 21 and the terminal body 200. In this embodiment, the first body 214 and the second body 215 are integrally formed, the third body 216 and the fourth body 217 are integrally formed, and the second body 215 and the third body 216 can be connected by adhesive. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the first body 214, the second body 215, the third body 216 and the fourth body 217 can be sequentially connected by adhesive, and the first body 214, the second body 215, the third body 216 and the fourth body 217 can also be integrally formed.

[0113] It is understood that in other embodiments, the third body 216 can also be directly glued to the terminal body 200, so the fourth body 217 can be omitted.

[0114] Furthermore, to prevent the first body 214 and the second body 215 from rotating relative to the third body 216 and the fourth body 217, the base 21 also includes a fifth body 218. The fifth body 218 is connected to the side of the second body 215 opposite to the first body 214 and is adapted to pass through the third body 216 and the fourth body 217, extending to the side of the fourth body 217 opposite to the second body 215. The cross-sectional shape of the fifth body 218 perpendicular to the optical axis 111 is polygonal, and the light-transmitting hole 21a passes through the first body 214, the second body 215, and the fifth body 218. In this embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the fifth body 218 is a rounded rectangle. The first body 214, the second body 215, and the fifth body 218 can be integrally formed. Thus, by defining the connection between the fifth body 218 and the second body 215, and by setting the cross-sectional shape of the fifth body 218 to a rounded rectangle, after the fifth body 218 is inserted into the third body 216 and the fourth body 217, by setting the cross-section of the fifth body 218 to a rounded rectangle, rotation of the fifth body 218 relative to the third body 216 and the fourth body 217 can be avoided, thereby preventing rotation of the first body 214 and the second body 215 relative to the third body 216 and the fourth body 217, ensuring the alignment effect after the camera module 100 and the terminal body 200 are assembled. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the cross-sectional shape of the fifth body 218 can also be a triangle, a pentagon, or other regular or irregular polygons.

[0115] In this embodiment, the light-transmitting hole 21a includes a first hole 21b, a second hole 21c, and a third hole 21d connected in sequence. The first hole 21b penetrates the first body 214, the second hole 21c penetrates the second body 215, and the diameter of the second hole 21c is smaller than the diameter of the first hole 21b. The third hole 21d penetrates the fifth body 218, and the third body 216 and the fourth body 217 are provided with a fourth hole 21e for adapting and accommodating the fifth body 218. Thus, by limiting the diameter of the second hole 21c to be smaller than the diameter of the first hole 21b, a step is formed between the first body 214 and the second body 215. In actual use, the camera module 100 can place a light-transmitting element 300 at the step, allowing light adjusted by the lens 11 to pass through. In addition, by setting the light-transmitting element 300 to seal the light-transmitting hole 21a, external water, dust, and other debris can be prevented from entering the terminal body 200 through the light-transmitting hole 21a, improving the waterproof and dustproof effect of the terminal 1.

[0116] Please refer to the following: Figures 8 to 10 As shown, the first slider 121, the second slider 122, and the abutment 123 can be integrally formed on the inner wall of the connector 12. The connector 12 and the lens 11 can be connected by adhesive.

[0117] Furthermore, to reduce the contact area between the first slider 121, the second slider 122, and the abutment 123 and the base 21, each of the first slider 121, the second slider 122, and the abutment 123 has an arc-shaped contact portion 124 on the side that contacts the bottom of the corresponding first slide groove 210, second slide groove 211, and clearance groove 213. Along the optical axis 111, the thickness of the contact portion 124 is less than the thickness of the corresponding first slider 121, second slider 122, and abutment 123. Thus, by providing arc-shaped contact portions 124 on the first slider 121 and second slider 122, when the first slider 121 and second slider 122 slide within the corresponding first slide groove 210 and second slide groove 211, the first slider 121... The contact portion 124 on the second slider 122 contacts the bottom of the first slide groove 210 and the second slide groove 211. The contact portion 124 and the bottom of the first slide groove 210 and the second slide groove 211 are in line contact, thereby reducing the contact area between the first slider 121 and the second slider 122 and the bottom of the corresponding first slide groove 210 and the second slide groove 211, reducing the friction between them, and making the sliding of each slider in the corresponding slide groove smoother. By providing an arc-shaped contact portion 124 on the abutment member 123, when the abutment member 123 is located in the relief groove 213, the contact area between the abutment member 123 and the bottom of the relief groove 213 is reduced, avoiding the abutment member 123 and the bottom of the relief groove 213 being difficult to separate due to a large contact area.

[0118] Furthermore, to maintain the relative flatness of the connector 12 and the base 21 after assembly, positioning elements 125 are provided between the side of the first slider 121, the second slider 122, and the abutment 123 facing the lens 11 and the corresponding groove walls of the first slide groove 210, the second slide groove 211, and the clearance groove 213 away from the lens 11. Grooves 219 corresponding to the positioning elements 125 are also provided on the side of the first slider 121, the second slider 122, and the abutment 123 facing the lens 11 and the corresponding groove walls of the first slide groove 210, the second slide groove 211, and the clearance groove 213 (see [reference]). Figure 7As shown in the diagram, the first body 214 has a groove 219 corresponding to the positioning member 125 on the side facing the third body 216. In this embodiment, the positioning member 125 is spherical, such as a steel ball, and is glued to the groove 219 on each slider and the supporting member 123. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the positioning member 125 can also be glued to the groove 219 on the groove wall of each slide and the clearance groove 213. Thus, by setting the positioning member 125 and the groove 219, on the one hand, the slider and the supporting member 123 are restricted from direct contact with the first body 214 due to the positioning member 125, reducing the friction between the slider and the supporting member 123 and the first body 214, and improving the smoothness of the connecting member 12 and the base 21 during sliding assembly. On the other hand, the contact between the three positioning members 125 and the first body 214 is three small areas or points parallel to each slider and the supporting member 123, thereby maintaining the relative flatness of the connecting member 12 and the base 21 after assembly. On the other hand, when all three positioning parts 125 slide into their corresponding grooves 219, it indicates that the sliding assembly of the connector 12 and the base 21 is in place, effectively preventing excessive or insufficient sliding, thus ensuring the alignment of the connector 12 and the base 21. It should be noted that, it is understandable that when the clearance groove 128 on the base 21 is omitted, the corresponding positioning parts 125 and grooves 219 can also be omitted.

[0119] In this embodiment, in order to enable the lens 11 to be electrically connected to the terminal 1, the camera module 100 also includes a circuit board 30. The circuit board 30 is disposed on the side of the connector 12 away from the lens 11. The outer side wall of the connector 12 is provided with a relief groove 126 extending along the optical axis 111. By providing the relief groove 126, the circuit board 30 can be electrically connected to the lens 11 by passing through the relief groove 126 through an electrical connector (not shown) such as a terminal wire. The circuit board 30 can also be electrically connected to the terminal 1 by passing through the base 21 (light-transmitting hole 21a) through an electrical connector such as a terminal wire.

[0120] In this embodiment, to improve the sealing performance after the connector 12 and the base 21 are assembled, a sealing groove 128 surrounding the opening 120 is provided on the side of the connector 12 facing away from the lens 11. The sealing groove 128 is used to install a sealing element 40, which can be a rubber ring. The sealing element 40 has a stepped shape to fit the lens 11. Thus, by providing a sealing groove 128 and a sealing element 40 on the connector 12, the sealing performance between the connector 12 and the base 21 is improved, giving the camera module 100 a waterproof and dustproof effect. In addition, by providing a sealing element 40 on the side of the connector 12 facing the third body 216, the first slider 121, the second slider 122, and the abutment 123 will not directly contact the third body 216 due to the sealing element 40, reducing wear on the first slider 121, the second slider 122, and the abutment 123.

[0121] Please refer to the following: Figure 11 As shown, the locking assembly 22 includes a base 221 connected to the base 21 and a first locking member 222 and a second locking member 223 elastically telescopically disposed on the base 221. The base 221 has a first mounting groove 2211, a second mounting groove 2212 and a rotating groove 2213 communicating with the first mounting groove 2211 and the second mounting groove 2212 respectively on the side opposite to the lens module 10. The first locking member 222 and the second locking member 223 are movably disposed in the first mounting groove 2211 and the second mounting groove 2212 respectively. The direction of movement of the first locking member 222 and the second locking member 223 in the corresponding first mounting groove 2211 and the second mounting groove 2212 is perpendicular to the insertion direction 100a and the direction of the optical axis 111 of the lens 11 respectively. The first locking member 222 and the second locking member 223 correspond to the first slider 121 and the second slider 122 respectively. The first locking member 222 and the second locking member 223 extend elastically to lock the first slider 121 and the second slider 122 inserted into the first slide groove 210 and the second slide groove 211, respectively, and the first locking member 222 and the second locking member 223 retract elastically to disengage from the corresponding first slider 121 and the second slider 122.

[0122] Specifically, the base 221 is located between the first body 214 and the third body 216. The first locking member 222 includes a first meshing bar 2221 and a first locking part 2222 connected to the first meshing bar 2221. The second locking member 223 includes a second meshing bar 2231 and a second locking part 2232 connected to the second meshing bar 2231. The locking assembly 22 also includes a rotating wheel 224 and an elastic member 225. The elastic member 225 is a V-shaped spring steel. Both the first meshing bar 2221 and the second meshing bar 2231 are bent. The first mounting groove 2211 and the second mounting groove 2212 of the base 221 are slidably embedded in them, and the first meshing bar 2221 and the second meshing bar 2231 are both engaged with the rotating wheel 224 rotatably disposed on the rotating groove 2213 of the base 221. The rotating wheel 224 makes the sliding directions of the first meshing bar 2221 and the second meshing bar 2231 opposite. In this embodiment, the first locking part 2222 and the second locking part 2232 are both approximately wedge-shaped. The elastic member 225 is embedded in the first mounting groove 2211 and abuts between the first mounting groove 2211 and the first meshing bar 2221. The side of the first slider 121 and the second slider 122 facing the third body 216 of the base 21 both have stepped grooves 127 (see [reference]). Figure 10 As shown), the first locking member 222 and the second locking member 223 are elastically inserted into the stepped grooves 127 of the corresponding first slider 121 and the second slider 122 by the elastic force provided by the elastic member 225 and abut against the groove wall of the corresponding stepped groove 127 (the plane facing the abutment member 123) to achieve locking of the first slider 121 and the second slider 122.

[0123] It is understood that in other embodiments, the elastic element 225 may also be disposed in the second mounting groove 2212 and abut against the second mounting groove 2212 and the second meshing bar 2231 respectively. The elastic element 225 may also be a spring.

[0124] Furthermore, to facilitate the operation of the locking assembly 22 to unlock the connector 12, the locking assembly 22 also includes a driving member 226. The driving member 226 can be a lever, which is slidably embedded in the base 221 and connected to the first meshing bar 2221. One end of the driving member 226, away from the first meshing bar 2221, extends out of the base 221. Thus, by moving the driving member 226, the first meshing bar 2221 is moved. The first meshing bar 2221 drives the second meshing bar 2231 to move in the opposite direction via the rotating wheel 224, thereby bringing the first meshing bar 2221 and the second meshing bar 2231 closer together. This causes the first locking part 2222 and the second locking part 2232 to elastically contract and disengage from the stepped grooves 127 of each slider, facilitating the disassembly of the connector 12 and the base 21. It is understood that in other embodiments, the driving member 226 may also be connected to the second meshing bar 2231.

[0125] Thus, when the connector 12 is inserted into the base 21 along the insertion direction 100a, the groove walls of the stepped grooves 127 on each slider (facing away from the arc surface of the abutment 123) press against each locking part. Each locking part is pressed, causing the corresponding first meshing bar 2221 and second meshing bar 2231 to slide. The first meshing bar 2221 simultaneously presses against the elastic member 225. The elastic member 225 is pressed and generates elastic force. When the groove walls of each stepped groove 127 of each slider are misaligned with each locking part, the groove walls of the stepped grooves 127 no longer move towards the corresponding locking parts. When a squeezing force is applied, each locking part no longer drives the corresponding first meshing bar 2221 and second meshing bar 2231 to slide. The elastic element 225 releases its elastic force and drives the first meshing bar 2221 to slide outward. The first meshing bar 2221 drives the second meshing bar 2231 to slide outward through the rotating wheel 224. This causes the first locking part 2222 and the second locking part 2232 to extend elastically and insert into the stepped groove 127 and abut against the groove wall of the stepped groove 127, thereby achieving the locking effect on the first slider 121 and the second slider 122. When it is necessary to unlock the connector 12 from the base 21, the drive member 226 is activated, causing the first meshing bar 2221 to slide inward. The first meshing bar 2221, via the rotating wheel 224, causes the second meshing bar 2231 to also slide inward. Simultaneously, the first meshing bar 2221 compresses the elastic member 225. The first locking part 2222 and the second locking part 2232, driven by the first and second meshing bars 2221, elastically contract to disengage from the stepped groove 127 of the corresponding slider. When each locking part disengages from the stepped groove 127 of the corresponding slider, the connector 12 can be pulled outward to unlock it from the base 21. Releasing the drive member 226 causes the elastic member 225 to release its elastic force, causing the first meshing bar 2221 to slide outward. This causes the first locking part 2222 and the second locking part 2232 to elastically extend and reset, facilitating the re-locking of the connector 12 inserted into the base 21.

[0126] Please see Figure 12As shown, in some embodiments, the locking assembly 22a includes a base 221a connected to the base 21 and magnetic elements 227 respectively disposed on the base 221a and corresponding to the first slide groove 210 and the second slide groove 211. The magnetic elements 227 can be electromagnets or permanent magnets, and the material of each slider can be iron, steel, etc. The magnetic elements 227 can be understood as "locking components". Thus, when the connector 12 is inserted into the base 21 along the insertion direction 100a and each slider is inserted into the corresponding slide groove, the magnetic elements 227 magnetically attract each slider, thereby locking each slider. When it is necessary to unlock the connector 12 from the base 21, the electromagnet can be de-energized to lose its magnetic attraction to each slider or the connector 12 can be pulled out with slight force. It should be noted that, since there is also a positioning element 125 and a groove 219 between the connector 12 and the base 21, the positioning element 125 and the groove 219 also have the effect of limiting the relative sliding of the connector 12 and the base 21 in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis 111. Combined with the magnetic adsorption of each slider by the magnetic element 227 and the limiting effect of each slide groove and clearance groove 213 in the direction of the optical axis 111, the connector 12 and the base 21 are not prone to separation, which can meet the requirements of daily use.

[0127] It is understood that in other embodiments, the magnetic element 227 can also be elastically disposed on the base 221a by a spring, and the magnetic element 227 can slide within the base 221a in a direction perpendicular to each slider and each groove. Thus, when each slider is inserted into its corresponding groove, the magnetic element 227 magnetically attracts the corresponding slider. Since the sliders are restricted by the resistance of their corresponding grooves and cannot move towards the magnetic element 227, the magnetic element 227, being slidably disposed within the base 221a, moves towards the corresponding slider and adheres to it, thereby locking the slider. Simultaneously, the magnetic element 227 stretches the spring. When it is necessary to unlock the connector 12 from the base 21, the connector 12 can be pulled out with slight force. Since the magnetic element 227 is restricted to sliding within the base 221a, it will not move with the corresponding slider, thus disengaging the magnetic element 227 from the corresponding slider. The magnetic element 227 then resets under the elastic force of the spring.

[0128] Please see Figure 13As shown, in some embodiments, the locking assembly 22b includes a base 221b connected to the base 21 and engaging elements 228 respectively disposed on the base 221b and corresponding to the first slide groove 210 and the second slide groove 211. The engaging elements 228 can be elastic snap-fit ​​beads, and the ends of each slider can be roughly set as rhomboid structures adapted to the elastic snap-fit ​​beads. The engaging elements 228 can be understood as "locking components". Thus, when the connector 12 is inserted into the base 21 along the insertion direction 100a and each slider is inserted into the corresponding slide groove, the ends of the rhomboid structures of each slider are inserted into the corresponding engaging elements 228, so that the engaging elements 228 elastically engage with their corresponding sliders, thereby locking each slider. When it is necessary to unlock the connector 12 from the base 21, the connector 12 can be pulled out with a little force. It should be noted that, since there is also a positioning element 125 and a groove 219 between the connector 12 and the base 21, the positioning element 125 and the groove 219 also have the effect of limiting the relative sliding of the connector 12 and the base 21 in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis 111. Combined with the snap-fit ​​element 228 snapping on each slider and the limiting effect of each slide groove and clearance groove 213 in the direction of the optical axis 111, the connector 12 and the base 21 are not prone to separation, which can meet the requirements of daily use.

[0129] Please see Figure 14As shown, in some embodiments of the locking assembly 22c, the driving member 226c can be an electromagnet. The driving member 226c is embedded in the base 221c, and the driving member 226c is positioned opposite to the bent portion of the first meshing bar 2221c. Thus, when the connecting member 12 is inserted into the base 21 along the insertion direction 100a, and each slider is inserted into its corresponding groove, the groove wall of the stepped groove 127 on each slider presses against the corresponding locking part. The locking part, being pressed, causes the corresponding first meshing bar 2221c and second meshing bar 2231c to slide. Simultaneously, the first meshing bar 2221c presses against the elastic member 225c. The elastic member 225c, being pressed, generates elastic force. When the groove wall of the stepped groove 127 of each slider is misaligned with the corresponding locking part, the stepped groove... The groove wall of 127 no longer applies pressure to the corresponding locking part, and each locking part no longer drives the corresponding first biting bar 2221c and second biting bar 2231c to slide. The elastic element 225c releases its elastic force and drives the first biting bar 2221c to slide outward. The first biting bar 2221c drives the second biting bar 2231c to slide outward through the rotating wheel 224c, so that the two locking parts elastically insert into the stepped groove 127 and abut against the groove wall of the stepped groove 127, thereby realizing the locking effect on each slider. When it is necessary to unlock the connector 12 from the base 21, the drive unit 226c is energized to generate magnetic force, which attracts the first meshing bar 2221c to slide inward. The first meshing bar 2221c drives the second meshing bar 2231c to slide inward via the rotating wheel 224c. At the same time, the first meshing bar 2221c squeezes the elastic member 225c. The two locking parts elastically contract under the action of the first meshing bar 2221c and the second meshing bar 2231c to disengage from the stepped groove 127 of the corresponding slider. When each locking part disengages from the stepped groove 127 of the corresponding slider, the connector 12 can be pulled out to unlock the connector 12 from the base 21. When the drive unit 226c is de-energized, it loses the magnetic force on the first meshing bar 2221c. The elastic member 225c releases its elastic force and drives the first meshing bar 2221c to slide outward, thereby causing the two corresponding locking parts to elastically extend and reset, so as to lock the connector 12 inserted into the base 21 again.

[0130] It is understood that in other embodiments, the driving member 226c can also be a miniature cylinder or other functional mechanism. This miniature cylinder is directly connected to the first meshing bar 2221c or the second meshing bar 2231c. The driving member 226c extends or retracts to directly drive the first meshing bar 2221c or the second meshing bar 2231c to move, thereby causing the first meshing bar 2221c and the second meshing bar 2231c to move in opposite directions via the rotating wheel 224c. This causes the two locking parts to extend out of the base 221c to lock the sliders, or to retract within the base 221c to unlock the sliders. Thus, the elastic member 225c can be omitted.

[0131] In the assembly of the camera module 100 provided in this application embodiment, the base 21 of the mounting module 20 is mounted on the terminal body 200, and the lens module 10 is inserted into the first slide groove 210 and the second slide groove 211 of the base 21 along the insertion direction 100a through the first slider 121 and the second slider 122 of the connector 12. The first slider 121 and the second slider 122 are locked by the locking assembly 22 to achieve a fixed connection between the base 21 and the connector 12, thereby allowing the camera module 100 to be mounted on the terminal body 200. Since the lens module 10 is slidably mounted to the mounting module 20 in a translational manner, there is no need to design assembly mechanisms such as threads, clamps, and slots around the lens module 10, reducing the size of the lens module 10 and enabling a miniaturized design of the lens module 10, which is beneficial for the lens module. The lens module 10 is housed within a smaller terminal 1, achieving a miniaturized design. Furthermore, the lens module 10 and mounting module 20 are slidably installed, making installation simple and quick, reducing installation difficulty. In practical applications, different lens modules 10 can be replaced on the terminal 1 according to different camera requirements, expanding the camera range of the terminal 1 and enhancing the user's camera experience. During slid installation, the lens module 10 and mounting module 20, in conjunction with the design of various sliders, grooves, positioning components 125, recesses 219, and locking components 22, ensure good smoothness and positioning accuracy during the sliding installation process, resulting in good assembly strength and alignment after installation.

[0132] Please see Figures 15 to 17 As shown, this application embodiment also provides a terminal 1, which can be a mobile phone, tablet computer, camera, imaging robot, portable imaging device, etc. Terminal 1 includes a terminal body 200 and a camera module 100 as described in any of the above technical solutions. The terminal body 200 can be the rear shell of terminal 1. The base 21 of the camera module 100 is embedded in the mounting hole 202 of the terminal body 200, and the first sliding groove 210 and the second sliding groove 211 of the base 21 are located outside the terminal body 200. A light-transmitting element 300 is embedded at the light-transmitting hole 21a of the base 21. The lens module 10 is slidably assembled with the base 21 in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis 111 of the lens 11, specifically by inserting a connector 12 into the base 21 and locking it with a locking assembly 22 to install it on the terminal body 200.

[0133] In the terminal 1 provided in this embodiment, the base 21 of the mounting module 20 is mounted on the terminal body 200. The lens module 10 is inserted into the first slide groove 210 and the second slide groove 211 of the base 21 along the insertion direction 100a via the first slider 121 and the second slider 122 of the connector 12. The first slider 121 and the second slider 122 are locked by the locking member 32 of the locking assembly 22, thereby allowing the camera module 100 to be mounted on the terminal body 200. Since the lens module 10 is slidably mounted to the mounting module 20 in a translational manner, there is no need to design assembly mechanisms such as threads, clamps, and slots around the lens module 10, reducing the volume of the lens module 10 and enabling a miniaturized design. This facilitates the inclusion of the lens module 10 in a smaller terminal 1. The internal design achieves miniaturization of terminal 1. Furthermore, the lens module 10 and mounting module 20 are slidably installed, making installation simple and quick, reducing installation difficulty. In practical applications, different lens modules 10 can be replaced on terminal 1 according to different camera requirements, expanding the camera range of terminal 1 and enhancing the user's camera experience. During slid installation, the design of the sliders, grooves, positioning components 125, recesses 219, and locking components 22 ensures good smoothness and positioning accuracy of the lens module 10 and mounting module 20 during the sliding installation process, and also ensures good assembly strength and alignment after installation.
