[0025] The following is combined with Figure 1 - Figure 6 This invention describes a camera module and an electronic device according to embodiments of the present invention.
[0026] like Figure 1As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the camera module includes: a housing 1 and two shooting components 2 disposed within the housing 1. Each shooting component 2 includes a lens 21 and a first signal processing unit 22. The lenses 21 of the two shooting components 2 are spaced apart along a first direction, and the first signal processing unit 22 of the two shooting components 2 is disposed between the lenses 21 of the two shooting components 2. Both the lenses 21 and the first signal processing unit 22 are movably connected to the housing 1 along the first direction. In shooting mode, the lens 21 of one shooting component 2 can move relative to the housing 1 along the first direction and is used for shooting, while the lens 21 and the first signal processing unit 22 of the other shooting component 2 are fixed relative to the housing 1 and are used to avoid space.
[0027] In the embodiments of this application, in the shooting mode, the lens 21 of one of the shooting components 2 can move relative to the housing 1 along a first direction and is used for shooting. The lens 21 and the first signal processing unit 22 of the other shooting component 2 are fixed relative to the housing 1 and are used to avoid space. In this way, in the shooting mode, the non-shooting shooting component 2 can make room for the lens 21 used for shooting, so that the two shooting components 2 can work independently and share the internal space of the housing 1. This can reduce the size of the camera module, realize miniaturization design, and improve the reliability of applying the camera module to electronic devices.
[0028] The camera module described in this application embodiment is used to realize the shooting function and can be installed in electronic devices to realize the shooting function of electronic devices.
[0029] Specifically, the camera module includes a housing 1 and two shooting components 2 disposed within the housing 1; the housing 1 is the main structure of the camera module, used to install and arrange the shooting components 2, and the housing 1 can be used to assemble with devices inside electronic devices to realize the installation of the camera module into the electronic device.
[0030] Specifically, the housing 1 may have an inner cavity, and two imaging components 2 may be disposed in the inner cavity, and the two imaging components 2 may share the inner cavity.
[0031] Furthermore, the shooting component 2 may include a lens 21, and the housing 1 may be provided with a light-transmitting hole corresponding to the lens 21, so that the lens 21 can collect external light through the light-transmitting hole to realize the shooting function.
[0032] Specifically, the lens 21 is movably connected to the housing 1 along the first direction, which facilitates the adjustment of the position of the lens 21 to make room or achieve focusing.
[0033] Specifically, lens 21 can be a standard lens, telephoto lens, etc. This application only uses lens 21 as a periscope as an example for illustration. The corresponding shooting component 2 can be a periscope module. The camera module can include a dual periscope module. Other situations can be set with reference. This application embodiment does not make specific limitations in this regard.
[0034] Specifically, the shooting component 2 may include a first signal processing unit 22, which may be correspondingly arranged with the lens 21 to assist the lens 21 in capturing images. The first signal processing unit 22 of the two shooting components 2 is disposed between the lenses 21 of the two shooting components 2, that is, the first signal processing unit 22 is disposed in the middle area of the housing 1. Since the first signal processing unit 22 can be movably connected to the housing 1 along the first direction, by adjusting the position of the first signal processing unit 22, a larger range of motion can be provided for the lens 21 used for shooting.
[0035] Specifically, the two shooting components 2 can be a first shooting component 31 and a second shooting component 32, respectively. The camera module can have a first shooting mode and a second shooting mode. In the first shooting mode, the first shooting component 31 switches to shooting mode, and the second shooting component 32 switches to non-shooting mode. The first signal processing unit 22 of the first shooting component 31 and the lens 21 and the first signal processing unit 22 of the second shooting component 32 can be adjusted to move along a first direction to make more movable space for the lens 21 of the first shooting component 31. Then, the positions of the first signal processing unit 22 of the first shooting component 31 and the lens 21 and the first signal processing unit 22 of the second shooting component 32 are locked, so that the lens 21 of the first shooting component 31 has a large range of motion in the first direction, and the lens 21 can be used for shooting.
[0036] In the second shooting mode, the first shooting component 31 switches to a non-shooting state, and the second shooting component 32 switches to a shooting state. The first signal processing unit 22 of the second shooting component 32, as well as the lens 21 and the first signal processing unit 22 of the first shooting component 31, can be adjusted to move along the first direction to make more room for the lens 21 of the second shooting component 32 to move. Then, the positions of the first signal processing unit 22 of the second shooting component 32, as well as the lens 21 and the first signal processing unit 22 of the first shooting component 31, are locked so that the lens 21 of the second shooting component 32 has a large range of movement in the first direction, and the lens 21 can be used for shooting.
[0037] Specifically, in combination Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in the first shooting mode, the first signal processing unit 22 of the first shooting component 31, and the lens 21 and the first signal processing unit 22 of the second shooting component 32 can be moved to the right, so that the lens 21 of the first shooting component 31 has a larger movement space, which facilitates focusing; in the second shooting mode, the first signal processing unit 22 of the second shooting component 32, and the lens 21 and the first signal processing unit 22 of the first shooting component 31 can be moved to the left, so that the lens 21 of the second shooting component 32 has a larger movement space, which facilitates focusing.
[0038] Optionally, the lens 21 can be slidably connected to the housing 1 along the first direction, or the lens 21 can be rolledly connected to the housing 1 along the first direction, so as to improve the reliability of the lens 21 being movably connected to the housing 1 along the first direction.
[0039] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first direction can be the direction pointed to by arrow D or the opposite direction pointed to by arrow D. The housing 1 can extend along the first direction, and the two sets of shooting components 2 can be arranged side by side along the first direction so that the two sets of shooting components 2 can share the internal space of the housing 1.
[0040] Optionally, the first signal processing unit 22 may be slidably connected to the housing 1 along the first direction, or the first signal processing unit 22 may be rolledly connected to the housing 1 along the first direction, so as to improve the reliability of the first signal processing unit 22 being movably connected to the housing 1.
[0041] Optionally, the first signal processing units 22 of the two shooting components 2 are fixedly connected to each other, which facilitates the synchronous adjustment of the positions of the first signal processing units 22 of the two shooting components 2 in the first direction, makes it easier to make room for the lens 21 used for shooting, and can reduce the setting of driving components, which can simplify the structural diversity of the camera module.
[0042] Optionally, the imaging component 2 may further include a second signal processing unit 23; along the first direction, in a single imaging component 2, a first signal processing unit 22 and a second signal processing unit 23 are disposed on both sides of the lens 21; wherein, one of the first signal processing unit 22 and the second signal processing unit 23 is a photosensitive chip, and the other is an optical path conversion device.
[0043] In this embodiment of the application, in a single imaging component 2, the lens 21 is arranged on one side of the first direction corresponding to the light path conversion component, which can improve the reliability of the lens 21 in collecting light; the lens 21 is arranged on the other side of the first direction corresponding to the photosensitive chip, which facilitates the lens 21 to send the collected light to the photosensitive chip for imaging.
[0044] Specifically, the lens 21 can collect light reflected by the light path conversion component from one side and transmit the collected light to the photosensitive chip from the other side, which can ensure the shooting function of the shooting component 2.
[0045] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the two ends 11 of the housing 1 along the first direction can be the first end 12 and the second end 13, respectively.
[0046] like Figure 4 As shown, the photosensitive chip of the first imaging component 31 and the photosensitive chip of the second imaging component 32 can be arranged close to each other and are located in the middle area of the housing 1 along the first direction. That is, the optical path conversion component of the first imaging component 31 is close to the first end 12, and the optical path conversion component of the second imaging component 32 is close to the second end 13.
[0047] Alternatively, the photosensitive chip of the first imaging component 31 and the optical path conversion component of the second imaging component 32 can be positioned close to each other.
[0048] Or, as Figure 1 As shown, the optical path converter of the first imaging component 31 and the optical path converter of the second imaging component 32 can be arranged close to each other and are arranged in the middle area of the housing 1 along the first direction, that is, the photosensitive chip of the first imaging component 31 is close to the first end 12, and the photosensitive chip of the second imaging component 32 is close to the second end 13.
[0049] Alternatively, the optical path converter of the first imaging component 31 and the photosensitive chip of the second imaging component 32 can be positioned close to each other.
[0050] Specifically, the optical path conversion component can be a prism or a reflector used to reflect light.
[0051] Optionally, the camera module may further include a circuit board 24, and the photosensitive chip may be electrically connected to the circuit board 24.
[0052] Optionally, the second signal processing unit 23 can be fixedly connected to the housing 1, without the need to adjust the position of the second signal processing unit 23 in the first direction, which helps to simplify the structure of the camera module.
[0053] Optionally, the second signal processing unit 23 can be movably connected to the housing 1 along the first direction, so that the position of the second signal processing unit 23 can be adjusted, which can improve the structural diversity of the camera module.
[0054] Optionally, the second signal processing unit 23 may be slidably connected to the housing 1 along the first direction, or the second signal processing unit 23 may be rolledly connected to the housing 1 along the first direction, so as to improve the reliability of the second signal processing unit 23 being movably connected to the housing 1.
[0055] Optionally, the shooting component 2 also includes a filter 27; in a single shooting component 2, the filter 27 is disposed between the lens 21 and the photosensitive chip, and the filter 27 is fixedly connected to the photosensitive chip.
[0056] In this embodiment, the filter 27 is disposed between the lens 21 and the image sensor, which can improve the reliability and stability of the image sensor's imaging. The filter 27 is fixedly connected to the image sensor, which facilitates the integration of the filter 27 and the image sensor into one unit, thereby improving the convenience of freeing up space for the lens 21 used for shooting.
[0057] Specifically, when the photosensitive chip is fixed to the housing 1, the filter element 27 is also fixed to the housing 1; when the photosensitive chip is movably connected to the housing 1 along the first direction, it can drive the filter element 27 to move along the first direction.
[0058] Specifically, the filter element 27 can be a filter sheet or a filter block, etc.
[0059] Optionally, such as Figure 4 As shown, the first signal processing unit 22 of both shooting components 2 can be an optical path converter. The optical path converters of the two shooting components 2 can be integrated into a prism. In this way, the two optical path converters can be integrated into one component, which can reduce the space occupied by the first signal processing unit 22 and provide more movable space for the lens 21 used for shooting.
[0060] Furthermore, integrating the optical path conversion components of the two shooting components 2 into a single structure makes it easier to free up space for the lens 21 used for shooting, and can reduce the number of driving components, thus simplifying the structure of the camera module.
[0061] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the prism is fixedly installed on the support 25, and the support 25 can be movably connected to the housing 1 along the first direction.
[0062] Specifically, the optical path conversion components of the two imaging components 2 are integrated into a prism, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the lens 21 of the second imaging component 32 moves to the right to position A1, and the prism moves to the right to position A2. Light passes sequentially along path S1 through the prism, the lens 21 of the first imaging component 31, and the photosensitive chip, enabling the first imaging component 31 to perform the imaging function; combined with Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the lens 21 of the first shooting component 31 moves to the left to position B1, and the prism moves to the left to position B2. The light passes through the prism, the lens 21 of the second shooting component 32, and the photosensitive chip along the S2 path, so that the second shooting component 32 can perform the shooting function.
[0063] Optionally, such as Figure 4 As shown, the first signal processing unit 22 of both shooting components 2 can be a photosensitive chip. The photosensitive chips of the two shooting components 2 can be integrated into one image sensor. In this way, the two photosensitive chips can be integrated into one image sensor, which can reduce the space occupied by the first signal processing unit 22 and provide more movable space for the lens 21 used for shooting.
[0064] Specifically, the image sensor can be fixedly mounted on the support frame 26, and the support frame 26 can be movably connected to the housing 1 along the first direction.
[0065] Specifically, the photosensitive chips of the two imaging components 2 are integrated into a single image sensor, combined with... Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the lens 21 of the second imaging component 32 moves to the right to position A3, and the image sensor moves to the right to position A4. Light passes sequentially along path S3 through the optical path converter, lens 21, and image sensor of the first imaging component 31, enabling the first imaging component 31 to perform the imaging function; combined with Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the lens 21 of the first shooting component 31 moves to the left to position B3, the image sensor moves to the left to position B4, and the light passes sequentially along the S4 path through the optical path converter, lens 21, and image sensor of the second shooting component 32, enabling the second shooting component 32 to perform the shooting function.
[0066] Optionally, the lens 21 is movably connected to the housing 1 via a ball bearing 4, which can improve the convenience and reliability of adjusting the position of the lens 21 in the first direction.
[0067] Optionally, the first signal processing unit 22 can be movably connected to the housing 1 via the ball bearing 4, which can improve the convenience and reliability of adjusting the position of the first signal processing unit 22 in the first direction.
[0068] Optionally, the second signal processing unit 23 can be movably connected to the housing 1 via the ball bearing 4, which can improve the convenience and reliability of adjusting the position of the second signal processing unit 23 in the first direction.
[0069] Specifically, in a single imaging component 2, at least one of the photosensitive chip and the optical path conversion component can be movably connected to the housing 1 via a ball bearing 4.
[0070] Optionally, in a single shooting component 2, the lens 21 has a first protrusion on the side facing the first signal processing unit 22, and / or the first signal processing unit 22 has a first protrusion on the side facing the lens 21. In this way, the first protrusion can block between the lens 21 and the first signal processing unit 22, so that there is a gap between the lens 21 and the first signal processing unit 22, which can avoid friction damage between the lens 21 and the first signal processing unit 22 and improve the service life of the camera module.
[0071] Optionally, in a single shooting component 2, the lens 21 has a second protrusion on the side facing the second signal processing unit 23, and / or the second signal processing unit 23 has two protrusions on the side facing the lens 21. In this way, the second protrusion can block between the lens 21 and the second signal processing unit 23, so that there is a gap between the lens 21 and the second signal processing unit 23, which can avoid friction damage to the lens 21 and the second signal processing unit 23 and improve the service life of the camera module.
[0072] Specifically, in a single shooting component 2, at least one of the lens 21 and the first signal processing unit 22 is provided with a first protrusion, and at least one of the lens 21 and the second signal processing unit 23 is provided with a second protrusion.

The size of the second protrusion in the first direction can be selected according to the gap requirements between the lens 21 and the second signal processing unit 23 in the first direction, and can be set according to actual needs.
[0074] Furthermore, the smaller the dimensions of the first protrusion and the second protrusion in the first direction, the more beneficial it is for the camera module to achieve miniaturization. The limit dimension of the first protrusion in the first direction can ensure a limit distance between the lens 21 and the first signal processing unit 22, which can be determined according to the optical design and motor stroke; the limit dimension of the second protrusion in the first direction can ensure a limit distance between the lens 21 and the second signal processing unit 23, which can be determined according to the optical design and motor stroke.

[0076] Specifically, the driving component may include a coil and a magnet that are respectively configured. The coil may be connected to a power source or a circuit board 24. One of the coil and the magnet may be connected to the housing 1 and the other may be connected to the lens 21. The lens 21 is driven to move in a first direction by the force between the coil and the magnet.
[0077] Similarly, the first signal processing unit 22 or the second signal processing unit 23 can also be driven to move along the first direction using the corresponding coils and magnets. This will not be elaborated further in the embodiments of this application.

In this way, in the shooting mode, the non-shooting shooting component can make room for the lens used for shooting, so that the two shooting components can work independently and share the internal space of the housing, thereby reducing the size of the camera module, realizing miniaturization design, and improving the reliability of applying the camera module to electronic devices.
