DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0009] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchangeable under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described here, and the objects distinguished by "first", "second", etc. are generally of one type, and the number of objects is not limited. For example, the first object can be one or more. In addition, "and / or" in the specification and claims represents at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the objects associated with each other are in an "or" relationship.

[0011] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below through specific embodiments and their application scenarios in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0012] refer to Figures 1 to 12 The embodiment of the present application discloses a periscope motor 01, which is applied to a camera module of an electronic device to drive the lens to move and adjust the shooting effect, thereby obtaining a higher quality shooting effect. The disclosed periscope motor 01 includes a housing 10, a connection carrier 20, and an anti-shake carrier 30 for carrying a prism 02.

[0013] The housing 10 is a basic installation component, which can provide an installation foundation for components such as the connection carrier 20 and the anti-shake carrier 30. In some embodiments, the connection carrier 20 and the anti-shake carrier 30 are both arranged in the housing 10. In this way, the housing 10 can not only accommodate components such as the connection carrier 20 and the anti-shake carrier 30, but also play a protective role to prevent the external environment from causing adverse effects on the components inside the housing 10.

[0014] Optionally, the housing 10 may include a base 11 and an upper cover 12. Figure 2As shown. The base 11 is used to carry the connection carrier 20, the anti-shake carrier 30 and other components, and the upper cover 12 is used to cover the connection carrier 20, the anti-shake carrier 30 and other components. The base 11 and the upper cover 12 both play a protective role. In addition, the upper cover 12 can also play a light shielding role to prevent light from entering the housing 10 and causing adverse effects on the work of some internal components (such as the prism 02, the focus lens 03, etc.).

[0015] In addition, considering that external light needs to pass through the transmission effect of the prism 02 and enter the interior of the shell 10, the wall surface of the upper cover 12 in the embodiment of the present application can be provided with a light-transmitting hole, and the light-transmitting hole is arranged relative to a part of the surface of the prism 02, so as to facilitate the external light to pass through the light-transmitting hole and enter the prism 02, and enter the interior of the shell 10 under the transmission effect of the prism 02 and enter other components (such as the focusing lens 03, etc.).

[0016] The anti-shake carrier 30 is used to carry the prism 02 , and the prism 02 is driven to move by the movement of the anti-shake carrier 30 relative to the housing 10 , so as to adjust the light transmitted to the prism 02 .

[0017] The connecting carrier 20 is used to connect the anti-shake carrier 30 to the housing 10 , and can meet the requirement that the anti-shake carrier 30 generates an anti-shake movement relative to the housing 10 .

[0018] refer to Figures 4 to 10 In some embodiments, the connection carrier 20 includes a fixing member 21, a connecting member 22 and a mounting member 23. The fixing member 21 is connected to the inner wall of the housing 10 to ensure the stability of the connection carrier 20. The connecting member 22 is disposed between the fixing member 21 and the mounting member 23, and at least a portion of the connecting member 22 can be deformed so that the mounting member 23 moves relative to the fixing member 21. The movement of the mounting member 23 relative to the fixing member 21 can be rotation, movement, etc.

[0019] Optionally, the connecting member 22 may be connected between the fixing member 21 and the mounting member 23. Of course, the fixing member 21, the connecting member 22 and the mounting member 23 may also be an integrated structure. Exemplarily, the mounting member 23 may be a cubic structure.

[0020] Optionally, the fixing member 21 can be fixedly connected to the inner wall of the shell 10, such as by welding, bonding, riveting, etc., to ensure the stability of the connection carrier 20; of course, the fixing member 21 can also be detachably connected to the inner wall of the shell 10, such as by screwing, snapping, plugging, hooking, etc., to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the connection carrier 20.

[0021] In the embodiment of the present application, the entire connecting member 22 may be deformed, or a part of the connecting member 22 may be deformed, as long as the mounting member 23 can be rotated relative to the fixing member 21, and the specific method is not limited.

[0022] The anti-shake carrier 30 is connected to the mounting member 23 to realize the bearing function of the connecting carrier 20 on the anti-shake carrier 30. The anti-shake carrier 30 and the mounting member 23 can be fixedly connected, such as bonding, welding, riveting, etc.; or detachably connected, such as screwing, clamping, plugging, hooking, etc.

[0023] Based on the above arrangement, the embodiment of the present application can realize the carrying of the anti-shake carrier 30 by connecting the carrier 20, and because at least part of the connecting member 22 of the connecting carrier 20 can be deformed, the anti-shake carrier 30 can perform anti-shake movement relative to the shell 10, so as to improve the shooting quality of the camera module; compared with some motors in the form of balls, shrapnel, etc., the deformable connecting member 22 has the characteristics of better deformability and larger deformation range, so that the periscope motor 01 can have a larger shooting angle to meet the user's demand for higher quality shooting. Therefore, the embodiment of the present application can achieve a larger shooting range and a longer shooting distance without increasing the size of the motor structure, thereby reducing the occupied space and alleviating the problem of cramped installation. Therefore, the periscope motor 01 in the embodiment of the present application can simultaneously achieve the technical effects of a large lens rotation angle and a small occupied space. In some embodiments, the prism 02 can be rotated in two mutually perpendicular directions to change the light transmitted by the prism 02. The two directions can be a first direction and a second direction, and the first direction is set at an angle to the second direction, and the angle can range from 10° to 90°, for example, including 10°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 90°, etc., and of course it can also be other degrees, which are not specifically limited here. Optionally, the two mutually perpendicular directions can be the first direction and the second direction, the first direction can be the left-right direction, and the second direction can be the up-down direction. Based on this, the prism 02 can shake its head left and right in the first direction, and can nod up and down in the second direction to adjust the transmitted light.

[0024] In addition to the two mutually perpendicular directions mentioned above, the prism 02 can also rotate in other directions to meet the needs of actual working conditions.

[0025] In order to enable the prism 02 to rotate in a first direction and a second direction perpendicular to each other, the connecting member 22 may include a first sub-connecting member 221 and a second sub-connecting member 222. Figure 7As shown. The first sub-connector 221 can make the anti-shake carrier 30 and the prism 02 carried by it rotate in the first direction, and the second sub-connector 222 can make the anti-shake carrier 30 and the prism 02 carried by it rotate in the second direction. It should be noted here that the anti-shake carrier 30 rotates in the first direction means that the anti-shake carrier 30 rotates in the first direction around the axis extending in the second direction, and the anti-shake carrier 30 rotates in the second direction means that the anti-shake carrier 30 rotates in the second direction around the axis extending in the first direction.

[0026] In the embodiment of the present application, the first sub-connector 221 is connected to the fixing member 21, the second sub-connector 222 is connected to the first sub-connector 221, and the mounting member 23 is connected to the second sub-connector 222. In this way, the connecting member 22 can be formed by the fixing member 21, the first sub-connector 221, the second sub-connector 222 and the mounting member 23 connected in sequence.

[0027] In other embodiments, the fixing member 21 , the first sub-connecting member 221 , the second sub-connecting member 222 and the mounting member 23 may also be an integrated structure.

[0028] To achieve the rotation of the prism 02 in the first direction, the first sub-connector 221 may include a first deformation portion 2211, such as Figures 8 to 11 As shown, the first deformation portion 2211 can be deformed in the first direction. Thus, through the deformation of the first deformation portion 2211 in the first direction, the second sub-connector 222, the mounting member 23, the anti-shake carrier 30 and the prism 02 can be rotated in the first direction, thereby adjusting the angle of the prism 02 in the first direction, that is, the shaking angle of the prism 02.

[0029] To enable the prism 02 to rotate in the second direction, the second sub-connector 222 may include a second deformation portion 2221, such as Figures 8 to 10 As shown, the second deformation portion 2221 can be deformed in the second direction. Thus, through the deformation of the second deformation portion 2221 in the second direction, the mounting member 23, the anti-shake carrier 30 and the prism 02 can be rotated in the second direction, thereby adjusting the angle of the prism 02 in the second direction, that is, the pitch angle of the prism 02.

[0030] It should be noted here that the deformation of the first deformation portion 2211 in the first direction and the deformation of the second deformation portion 2221 in the second direction may not affect each other, so that the angle of the prism 02 can be adjusted in the same direction to avoid mutual interference and affect the rotation accuracy of the prism 02.

[0031] Exemplarily, the first sub-connector 221 and the second sub-connector 222 can both be elastic parts, such as elastic rubber parts, elastic plastic parts, etc. Of course, they can also be in other forms, which are not specifically limited here.

[0032] like Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, in some embodiments, the first sub-connector 221 may include a plurality of first deformation portions 2211, and the plurality of first deformation portions 2211 are spaced apart in the second direction. In this way, the second sub-connector 222, the mounting portion 23, the anti-shake carrier 30 and the prism 02 can be jointly supported by the plurality of first deformation portions 2211, thereby improving the bearing strength of the first sub-connector 221 and ensuring the stability of the prism 02 in the second direction. At the same time, the plurality of first deformation portions 2211 can be deformed synchronously to prevent mutual interference in deformation between the plurality of first deformation portions 2211, thereby ensuring that the first sub-connector 221 can be deformed smoothly.

[0033] In some more specific embodiments, the first sub-connector 221 may include two first deformation parts 2211, the two first deformation parts 2211 are spaced apart in the second direction, and the second sub-connector 222 is connected to the two first deformation parts 2211, respectively, so as to carry the second sub-connector 222, the mounting part 23, the anti-shake carrier 30 and the prism 02 through the two first deformation parts 2211. Of course, other numbers are also possible, which are not specifically limited here.

[0034] In other embodiments, the first sub-connector 221 may also include an integral first deformation portion 2211, and the first deformation portion 2211 extends in the second direction. In this way, the second sub-connector 222, the mounting member 23, the anti-shake carrier 30 and the prism 02 can be supported by the integral first deformation portion 2211, thereby improving the bearing strength of the first sub-connector 221 and ensuring the stability of the prism 02 in the second direction. At the same time, various areas of the integral first deformation portion 2211 can be deformed synchronously to prevent twisting and deformation, thereby ensuring that the first sub-connector 221 can be deformed smoothly.

[0035] refer to Figure 8 In some embodiments, the second sub-connector 222 may include a plurality of second deformation portions 2221, and the plurality of second deformation portions 2221 are spaced apart in the first direction. Thus, the mounting member 23, the anti-shake carrier 30 and the prism 02 may be jointly supported by the plurality of second deformation portions 2221, thereby improving the bearing strength of the second sub-connector 222 and ensuring the stability of the prism 02 in the first direction. At the same time, the plurality of second deformation portions 2221 may be deformed synchronously to prevent mutual interference in deformation between the plurality of second deformation portions 2221, thereby ensuring that the second sub-connector 222 can be deformed smoothly.

[0036] In some more specific embodiments, the second sub-connector 222 may include two second deformation parts 2221, the two second deformation parts 2221 are spaced apart in the first direction, and the mounting member 23 is respectively connected to the two second deformation parts 2221, so as to carry the mounting member 23, the anti-shake carrier 30 and the prism 02 through the two second deformation parts 2221. Of course, other numbers are also possible, which are not specifically limited here.

[0037] In other embodiments, the second sub-connector 222 may also include an integral second deformation portion 2221, and the second deformation portion 2221 extends in the first direction. In this way, the mounting member 23, the anti-shake carrier 30 and the prism 02 can be supported by the integral second deformation portion 2221, thereby improving the bearing strength of the second sub-connector 222 and ensuring the stability of the prism 02 in the first direction. At the same time, various regions of the integral second deformation portion 2221 can be deformed synchronously to prevent twisting and deformation, thereby ensuring that the second sub-connector 222 can be deformed smoothly.

[0038] To achieve the connection between the first sub-connector 221 and the second sub-connector 222, in the embodiment of the present application, the first sub-connector 221 further includes a bearing portion 2212, such as Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the bearing portion 2212 is connected to one end of the first deformation portion 2211, so that when the first deformation portion 2211 is deformed, the bearing portion 2212 can move in the first direction relative to the fixing member 21. The bearing portion 2212 can extend along the first direction. Exemplarily, the bearing portion 2212 can be a long strip structure, a cross structure, etc., which can be set according to actual working conditions.

[0039] The second sub-connector 222 is connected to the second deformation portion 2221 , so that when the second deformation portion 2221 is deformed, the mounting member 23 can move in the second direction.

[0040] When the first sub-connector 221 includes multiple first deformation parts 2211, the end of each first deformation part 2211 away from the fixing part 21 is respectively connected to the bearing part 2212; or, the ends of multiple first deformation parts 2211 away from the fixing part 21 are all connected to a long strip of bearing part 2212.

[0041] In order to make the first deformation portion 2211 more easily deformed in the first direction, in the embodiment of the present application, the first deformation portion 2211 may include a first side wall and a second side wall arranged opposite to each other in the first direction, and at least a portion of the first side wall is recessed toward the second side wall to form a first arc groove 22111, and a region of the second side wall corresponding to the first arc groove 22111 is recessed toward the first side wall to form a second arc groove 22112. Figure 8and Fig.11 shown.

[0042] Based on the above arrangement, the thickness dimension in the first direction of the area where the first deformable portion 2211 is formed with the first arc groove 22111 and the second arc groove 22112 is smaller than the thickness dimensions of other areas of the first deformable portion 2211, thereby making it easier for the area where the first arc groove 22111 and the second arc groove 22112 are formed to deform, thereby making it easier for the prism 02 to rotate in the first direction to adjust the light.

[0043] In order to make the second deformation portion 2221 more easily deformed in the second direction, in the embodiment of the present application, the second deformation portion 2221 may include a third side wall and a fourth side wall arranged opposite to each other in the second direction, and at least a portion of the third side wall is recessed toward the fourth side wall to form a third arc groove 22211, and a region of the fourth side wall corresponding to the third arc groove 22211 is recessed toward the third side wall to form a fourth arc groove 22212. Fig. 9 shown.

[0044] Based on the above arrangement, the thickness dimension in the second direction of the area where the third arc groove 22211 and the fourth arc groove 22212 are formed on the second deformation portion 2221 is smaller than the thickness dimensions of other areas of the second deformation portion 2221, thereby making it easier for the area where the third arc groove 22211 and the fourth arc groove 22212 are formed to deform, thereby making it easier for the prism 02 to rotate in the second direction to adjust the light.

[0045] The embodiment of the present application can adjust the deformation strength of the second deformation portion 2221 by adjusting the minimum distance between the bottom of the third arc groove 22211 and the bottom of the fourth arc groove 22212, as well as the length dimensions of the third arc groove 22211 and the fourth arc groove 22212 (i.e., the dimensions in the third direction) to meet the requirements of the prism 02 for different rotation angles in the second direction.

[0046] In some more specific embodiments, the third side wall and the fourth side wall of the second deformation portion 2221 are each an arc-shaped side wall, and the minimum thickness dimension between the two arc-shaped side walls can be 0.2 mm to 0.8 mm, and the length dimension of the arc-shaped side wall can be 0.8 mm to 1.4 mm. For example, the minimum thickness dimension is 0.2 mm, and the length dimension is 0.8 mm; the minimum thickness dimension is 0.4 mm, and the length dimension is 1.0 mm; the minimum thickness dimension is 0.6 mm, and the length dimension is 1.2 mm; the minimum thickness dimension is 0.8 mm, and the length dimension is 1.4 mm, etc. Of course, it is not limited to this, and it can also be other dimensions, which are not specifically limited here.

[0047] In some embodiments, the second deformation portion 2221 can be deformed in the second direction around the first axis, and the first axis extends along the first direction. Accordingly, the prism 02 has a portion passing through its own center of gravity (ie, Fig.10 The second axis is a black dot in the figure and extends along the first direction, and the second axis is collinear with the first axis, such as Fig.10 shown.

[0048] Based on the above arrangement, the first axis along which the second deformation portion 2221 is deformed can pass through the center of gravity of the prism 02. This can, on the one hand, make the gravity exerted on various parts of the prism 02 more balanced. On the other hand, it can also make the rotation of the prism 02 in the second direction correspond to the deformation of the second deformation portion 2221 in the second direction, thereby further improving the rotation accuracy of the prism 02 in the second direction.

[0049] In order to realize the connection between the anti-shake carrier 30 and the connection carrier 20, the anti-shake carrier 30 may be provided with a mounting cavity 31, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the mounting member 23 is disposed in the mounting cavity 31 to realize the assembly of the connection carrier 20 and the anti-shake carrier 30 .

[0050] In addition, the side wall of the anti-shake carrier 30 may also be provided with a mounting groove 32, the notch of the mounting groove 32 faces the mounting cavity 31, the mounting member 23 is provided in the mounting cavity 31, and the side wall of the mounting member 23 can block the notch of the mounting groove 32, at least part of the connecting member 22 is located in the mounting groove 32, and can be deformed in the second direction. Based on this arrangement, the arrangement of the mounting groove 32 can provide a receiving space for the connecting member 22, and can provide a space for the deformation of the connecting member 22, ensuring that at least part of the connecting member 22 can be deformed to enable the anti-shake carrier 30 and the prism 02 to move in the second direction.

[0051] In other embodiments, the anti-shake carrier 30 and the mounting member 23 may be fixedly connected by glue dispensing, wherein the mounting member 23 may be directly bonded to the side wall of the anti-shake carrier 30 to achieve fixed connection.

[0052] Of course, glue can also be applied between the mounting member 23 and the side wall of the mounting cavity 31 to further improve the stability and firmness of the assembly between the mounting member 23 and the mounting cavity 31 by gluing to prevent the mounting member 23 from detaching from the mounting cavity 31.

[0053] In some other embodiments, the anti-shake carrier 30 and the mounting member 23 may be connected in a detachable manner, such as a snap connection, a screw connection, etc. Of course, the mounting member 23 may be plugged into the mounting cavity 31 provided in the anti-shake carrier 30. Based on this, the reliability of the connection can be ensured, and the disassembly and assembly can be facilitated for maintenance.

[0054] In the embodiment of the present application, the periscope motor 01 may further include a focus carrier 40 for carrying the focus lens 03, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the focus carrier 40 is movably disposed in the housing 10 in the third direction so that the focus lens 03 can be close to or away from the prism 02, thereby realizing the focusing operation. The third direction can be perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction respectively. For example, the first direction can be the up-down direction, the second direction can be the front-back direction, and the third direction can be the left-right direction.

[0055] refer to Figure 2 and Fig.12 In some embodiments, a guide member 13 may be further provided in the housing 10, and the guide member 13 extends along a third direction. The focus carrier 40 is slidably connected to the guide member 13 to limit the movement of the focus carrier 40 in the third direction through the guide member 13, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the distance between the focus lens 03 and the prism 02.

[0056] Exemplarily, the guide member 13 may be in the form of a guide rod, a guide column, a guide bar, etc. Of course, it may also be in other forms, which are not specifically limited here. In addition, the guide member 13 may be one or more. When there are multiple guide members 13, they may be arranged in the first direction to improve the stability of the movement of the focus carrier 40 through the multiple guide members 13.

[0057] In order to drive the prism 02 to rotate in the first direction and the second direction, the periscope motor 01 may further include an anti-shake driving component 50, such as Figure 2 As shown, the anti-shake driving assembly 50 can drive the anti-shake carrier 30 and the prism 02 to rotate in the first direction or the second direction to adjust the angle of the prism 02, thereby changing the propagation direction of the light.

[0058] The anti-shake driving assembly 50 may include a first driving component, and the first driving component is used to drive the anti-shake carrier 30 and the prism 02 to rotate in a first direction.

[0059] Continue to refer Figure 2In some embodiments, the first driving component may include a first anti-shake coil 51 and a first anti-shake magnet 52 correspondingly arranged in the first direction, wherein one of the first anti-shake coil 51 and the first anti-shake magnet 52 is arranged on the anti-shake carrier 30, and the other is arranged on the housing 10. Based on this arrangement, when the first anti-shake coil 51 is energized, it can generate a magnetic field with the first anti-shake magnet 52, thereby driving the anti-shake carrier 30 and the prism 02 to rotate in the first direction; when the first anti-shake coil 51 is de-energized, the first deformation portion 2211 of the first sub-connector 221 can be restored to its original form, thereby returning the anti-shake carrier 30 and the prism 02 to their initial positions in the first direction. In addition, by changing the direction of the current passed into the first anti-shake coil 51, the magnetic attraction effect between the first anti-shake coil 51 and the first anti-shake magnet 52 is changed, that is, like attracts and opposites repel, so that the first deformation portion 2211 can be bidirectionally deformed, so as to expand the rotation angle of the prism 02 in the first direction, thereby increasing the shooting angle.

[0060] The anti-shake driving assembly 50 may include a second driving component, which is used to drive the anti-shake carrier 30 and the prism 02 to rotate in the second direction.

[0061] refer to Figure 2 In some embodiments, the second driving component may include a second anti-shake coil 53 and a second anti-shake magnet 54 correspondingly arranged in the second direction, wherein one of the second anti-shake coil 53 and the second anti-shake magnet 54 is arranged on the anti-shake carrier 30, and the other is arranged on the housing 10. Based on this arrangement, when the second anti-shake coil 53 is energized, it can generate a magnetic field with the second anti-shake magnet 54, thereby driving the anti-shake carrier 30 and the prism 02 to rotate in the second direction; when the second anti-shake coil 53 is de-energized, the second deformation portion 2221 of the second sub-connector 222 can be restored to its original form, thereby returning the anti-shake carrier 30 and the prism 02 to their initial positions in the second direction. In addition, by changing the direction of the current passed into the second anti-shake coil 53, the magnetic attraction effect between the second anti-shake coil 53 and the second anti-shake magnet 54 is changed, that is, like poles repel each other and opposite poles attract each other, so that the second deformation portion 2221 can be deformed in both directions, so as to expand the rotation angle of the prism 02 in the second direction, thereby increasing the shooting angle and improving the shooting effect.

[0062] In order to drive the focus lens 03 to move in the third direction, the periscope motor 01 may further include a focus drive assembly 60, such as Figure 2 As shown, the focus carrier 40 and the focus lens 03 can be driven to move in the third direction by the focus driving assembly 60 to adjust the distance between the focus lens 03 and the prism 02, thereby achieving focusing.

[0063] The focus driving assembly may include a focus coil 61 and a focus magnet 62 that are correspondingly arranged, one of the diagonal coil and the focus magnet 62 is arranged on the focus carrier 40, and the other is arranged on the housing 10. Based on this arrangement, when the focus coil 61 is energized, it can generate a magnetic field with the focus magnet 62, thereby driving the focus carrier 40 and the focus lens 03 to move in the third direction; when the focus coil 61 is de-energized, the driving force on the focus carrier 40 can be released, so that the focus lens 03 no longer moves. In addition, by changing the direction of the current passed into the focus coil 61 to change the magnetic attraction effect between the focus coil 61 and the focus magnet 62, that is, like poles repel each other and opposite poles attract each other, so that the focus carrier 40 and the focus lens 03 can be moved bidirectionally in the third direction to expand the focus range of the focus lens 03, which is beneficial to improving the shooting effect.

[0064] In addition, the periscope motor 01 may also include a circuit board 70, and the above-mentioned first anti-shake coil 51, the second anti-shake coil 53, the focus coil 61, etc. can all be electrically connected to the circuit board 70 to facilitate the transmission of power supply signals or control signals.

[0065] Based on the above-mentioned periscope motor 01, the embodiment of the present application also discloses a camera module. The disclosed camera module includes the above-mentioned periscope motor 01, and thus, the camera module is a periscope camera module.

[0066] In addition, the camera module may also include a prism 02 and a focus lens 03, which are respectively arranged on the periscope motor 01. The prism 02 is used to sense the external light source, and is arranged on the anti-shake carrier 30, and can rotate in the first direction or the second direction under the action of the anti-shake carrier 30, thereby realizing the anti-shake function; the focus lens 03 is used for focusing imaging, and is arranged on the focus carrier 40, and can move in the third direction under the action of the focus carrier 40, thereby realizing focusing.

[0067] Of course, the camera module may also include a photosensitive sensor, which is electrically connected to the circuit board 70 to facilitate signal transmission.

[0068] In addition, the embodiment of the present application may also include an electronic device, which includes the above-mentioned camera module. The electronic device may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a smart wearable device, an e-book, etc.

[0069] To summarize, the embodiment of the present application adopts a connection carrier 20 made of a deformable material instead of a ball or spring. Since the deformable material has good deformability (such as elasticity) and good mechanical strength, a relatively large anti-shake rotation angle can be generated. By adjusting the thickness of the deformation area of ​​the connection carrier 20, the requirements for the anti-shake rotation angle under different working conditions can be met. In addition, the structure can be simplified, which is beneficial to reducing the overall volume of the periscope motor 01, thereby realizing the miniaturization function of the product.

[0070] The embodiments of the present application are described above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present application is not limited to the above-mentioned specific implementation methods. The above-mentioned specific implementation methods are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Under the guidance of the present application, ordinary technicians in this field can also make many forms without departing from the purpose of the present application and the scope of protection of the claims, all of which are within the protection of the present application.
