Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of camera equipment, and in particular to a camera module and electronic equipment. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of camera technology, more and more electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, and e-readers are equipped with camera modules to realize camera functions. Among them, there are electronic devices equipped with telephoto camera modules. The telephoto camera module has a sufficiently long focal length, which makes it easy to capture distant objects, present the details of distant objects, and has a strong background blur capability, which can meet the needs of long-distance shooting. However, due to the long focal length of the telephoto camera module, the anti-shake travel required to achieve optical image stabilization is also large, which easily leads to an increase in the size of the camera module, which is not conducive to the miniaturization design of electronic equipment. Summary of the invention

[0003] The embodiments of the present application provide a camera module and an electronic device to solve the problem that the anti-shake travel of the telephoto camera module is long, which easily leads to an increase in the size of the camera module.

[0004] A camera module, comprising:

[0005] Optical transmission elements;

[0006] Lens;

[0007] an image sensor, wherein the image sensor and the lens are disposed on the same side of the optical transmission element and at least partially overlap with the lens in the axial direction of the lens, and the optical transmission element is configured to transmit at least part of the light emitted by the lens to the image sensor; and

[0008] The first circuit element includes a connecting portion and a routing portion, wherein the connecting portion is electrically connected to the image sensor and fixed relative to the image sensor, and the routing portion is electrically connected to the connecting portion and is at least partially located between the lens and the image sensor.

[0009] An electronic device comprises the above-mentioned camera module.

[0010] In the above-mentioned camera module, the lens and the image sensor are arranged on the same side of the optical transmission element, and the optical transmission element can transmit at least part of the light emitted by the lens to the image sensor. It can be seen that the light is deflected at least once during the transmission process in the optical transmission element, and the optical transmission element can play a role in folding the optical path, which is conducive to realizing the telephoto design of the camera module. At the same time, the image sensor at least partially overlaps with the lens in the axial direction of the lens, which is conducive to compressing the space occupied by the image sensor and the lens in the axial direction of the lens while realizing the telephoto design, thereby facilitating the compression of the space occupied by the camera module. In addition, in order to adapt to the design of the optical path, so that the image sensor can receive the light deflected by the optical transmission element, there is usually a gap between the image sensor and the lens, and the wiring portion of the first circuit element electrically connected to the image sensor is at least partially located between the image sensor and the lens, which can make full use of the space between the lens and the image sensor for wiring, so that the layout of the wiring portion is adapted to the layout of the lens, the image sensor and the optical transmission element, thereby improving the space utilization efficiency of the camera module, thereby facilitating further compression of the space occupied by the camera module.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0039] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present application, the present application will be described more fully below with reference to the relevant drawings. The preferred embodiments of the present application are provided in the drawings. However, the present application can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the understanding of the disclosure of the present application more thorough and comprehensive.

[0040] As used herein, "electronic device" refers to a device that can receive and / or send communication signals, including but not limited to a device that is connected via any one or more of the following connection methods:

[0041] (1) Connection via wired lines, such as Public Switched Telephone Networks (PSTN), Digital Subscriber Line (DSL), digital cable, and direct cable connection;

[0042] (2) Via wireless interfaces, such as cellular networks, wireless local area networks (WLAN), digital television networks such as DVB-H networks, satellite networks, and AM-FM broadcast transmitters.

[0043] An electronic device configured to communicate via a wireless interface may be referred to as a "mobile terminal". Examples of mobile terminals include, but are not limited to, the following electronic devices:

[0044] (1) Satellite phone or cellular phone;

[0045] (2) Personal Communications System (PCS) terminals that can combine cellular radio telephones with data processing, fax, and data communications capabilities;

[0046] (3) Radiotelephone, pager, Internet / intranet access, Web browser, notepad, calendar, Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) equipped with a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver;

[0047] (4) conventional laptop and / or palmtop receivers;

[0048] (5) Conventional laptop and / or palmtop radio telephone transceivers, etc.

[0049] See also Figure 1-Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, a camera module 20 is provided, and the camera module 20 can be applied to an electronic device 10, for example, in any applicable electronic device 10 such as a smart phone, a tablet computer, an e-reader, etc. The camera module 20 includes a lens 21, an image sensor 22, and an optical transmission element 23. The lens 21 may include one or more lenses with optical focal length, the optical transmission element 23 may be a prism made of plastic or glass, and the image sensor 22 includes but is not limited to a charge-coupled device (CCD) or a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS). The back cover of the electronic device 10 may be provided with a light inlet 11, and the lens 21 is opposite to the light inlet 11, and collects ambient light through the light inlet 11. The optical transmission element 23 can transmit at least part of the light emitted by the lens 21 to the image sensor 22, so that the image sensor 22 converts the optical signal into an electrical signal and transmits it to the control element such as the central processor of the electronic device 10 to realize the shooting function.

[0050] Combination Figure 4 and 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the image sensor 22 and the lens 21 are arranged on the same side of the optical transmission element 23, and at least partially overlap with the lens 21 in the axial direction of the lens 21. For example, the optical transmission element 23 has a light-transmitting surface 231, and the light-transmitting surface 231 has a light-entering area 2311 and a light-exiting area 2312. The lens 21 is opposite to the light-entering area 2311 of the light-transmitting surface 231, and the image sensor 22 is opposite to the light-exiting area 2312 of the lens 21. The optical transmission element 23 can emit light incident from the light-entering area 2311 from the light-exiting area 2312 after multiple reflections, so as to be transmitted to the image sensor 22. In other words, the optical transmission element 23 can deflect the light by 180° through multiple reflections, thereby achieving the effect of folding the optical path, which is conducive to realizing the telephoto design of the camera module 20 and compressing the occupied space of the camera module 20 through the periscope design.

[0051] At the same time, the optical transmission element 23 deflects the light by 180°, so that the lens 21 and the image sensor 22 are located on the same side of the optical transmission element 23, and the image sensor 22 and the lens 21 at least partially overlap in the axial direction of the lens 21, which is conducive to reducing the space occupied by the lens 21 and the image sensor 22 in the height direction of the camera module 20, thereby compressing the size of the camera module 20 in the thickness direction of the electronic device 10, which is conducive to the miniaturization design of the electronic device 10. In addition, in the direction of light propagation, the lens 21, the optical transmission element 23 and the image sensor 22 are arranged in sequence. When the camera module 20 is arranged in the electronic device 10, the lens 21 can be opposite to the light inlet 11 of the electronic device 10, while the non-optical transmission element 23 is opposite to the light inlet 11, so that the light inlet 11 can be set to be circular instead of square to adapt to the shape of the lens 21, which is conducive to the shape of the light inlet 11 to adapt to the shape of other hole structures of the electronic device 10, and improve the appearance integrity of the electronic device 10.

[0052] refer to Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the optical conductive element 23 can emit at least part of the light incident from the light incident area 2311 from the light exit area 2312 after five reflections. For example, the optical conductive element 23 also includes a first reflective surface 232, a second reflective surface 233 and a bottom surface 234. The first reflective surface 232 is obliquely opposite to the light incident area 2311 of the light transmitting surface 231, the second reflective surface 233 is obliquely opposite to the light exit area 2312 of the light transmitting surface 231, and the bottom surface 234 is connected to the first reflective surface 232 and the second reflective surface 233 and is opposite to the light transmitting surface 231. At least part of the light incident from the light incident area 2311 can be reflected by the first reflection surface 232 onto the light transmission surface 231, then reflected by the light transmission surface 231 onto the bottom surface 234, then reflected by the bottom surface 234 onto the light transmission surface 231 again, then reflected by the light transmission surface 231 onto the second reflection surface 233, and then emitted from the light exit area 2312 after being reflected by the second reflection surface 233. Of course, the above five reflections are only examples of light deflection by the optical transmission element 23 in one embodiment. In other embodiments, according to the size of the optical transmission element 23, the angles between the light transmission surface 231 and the first reflection surface 232 and the second reflection surface 233, the light can also be emitted after being reflected twice, three times, or other numbers in the optical transmission element 23, as long as the optical transmission element 23 can deflect the light by 180° to transmit at least part of the light collected by the lens 21 to the image sensor 22. It can be understood that the more times the light is reflected in the optical transmission element 23, the longer the equivalent optical path of the light in the optical transmission element 23, and the lens 21 design with a longer focal length can be adapted. The number of reflections can be specifically designed according to the focal length requirements of the camera module 20, and is not limited in this application.

[0053] Combination Figure 4, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, it can be seen that when the optical transmission element 23 deflects the light through multiple reflections, in order to adapt to the transmission light path, there is usually a gap between the light input area 2311 and the light output area 2312, that is, there is a gap between the lens 21 and the image sensor 22, in order to improve the utilization efficiency of the space between the lens 21 and the image sensor 22. In some embodiments, the camera module 20 also includes a first circuit element 24, the first circuit element 24 can be a flexible circuit board, or a soft-hard combination board formed by connecting a flexible circuit board and a printed circuit board, the first circuit element 24 is used to realize the electrical connection between the image sensor 22 and external components, for example, to realize the electrical connection between the image sensor 22 and the central processor of the electronic device 10, or with the control chip and other components in the electronic device 10 that are specifically used to realize the communication of the image sensor 22. The first circuit element 24 includes a connecting portion 241 and a wiring portion 242, the connecting portion 241 is electrically connected to the image sensor 22 and fixed relative to the image sensor 22, and the wiring portion 242 is electrically connected to the connecting portion 241 and is at least partially located between the lens 21 and the image sensor 22. As a result, the wiring portion 242 is at least partially located between the image sensor 22 and the lens 21, and the space between the lens 21 and the image sensor 22 can be fully utilized for wiring, so that the layout of the wiring portion 242 is adapted to the layout of the lens 21, the image sensor 22 and the optical transmission element 23, which is beneficial to improving the space utilization efficiency of the camera module 20, thereby helping to further compress the occupied space of the camera module 20.

[0054] In some embodiments, the camera module 20 further includes an anti-shake driving mechanism 25 and an anti-shake bracket 26. The anti-shake bracket 26 is fixed relative to the optical conductive element 23. For example, the anti-shake bracket 26 is directly fixedly arranged on the optical conductive element 23. Alternatively, the camera module 20 further includes a prism bracket 27 for accommodating the optical conductive element 23. The anti-shake bracket 26 is fixedly arranged on the prism bracket 27. The image sensor 22 is arranged on the anti-shake driving mechanism 25. The anti-shake driving mechanism 25 is arranged on the anti-shake bracket 26. The anti-shake driving mechanism 25 is configured to drive the image sensor 22 to move relative to the optical conductive element 23 to achieve an optical anti-shake function. For example, the anti-shake driving mechanism 25 can drive the image sensor 22 to move in at least one direction of a first direction 391 and a second direction 392 that are perpendicular to each other. The planes where the first direction 391 and the second direction 392 are located are parallel to the light-transmitting surface 231, and the second direction 392 is parallel to the vertical connection line between the lens 21 and the image sensor 22. The image sensor 22 is driven by the anti-shake drive mechanism 25 to realize optical image stabilization of the camera module 20. Since the axial size of the image sensor 22 in the lens 21 is usually smaller than the size of the lens 21, such a configuration can make the axial size of the anti-shake drive mechanism 25 in the lens 21 coincide with that of the lens 21, thereby effectively reducing the space occupied by the anti-shake drive mechanism 25 in the axial direction of the lens 21. While realizing optical image stabilization, it is beneficial to compress the axial size of the camera module 20 in the lens 21, thereby helping to compress the thickness of the electronic device 10.

[0055] In some embodiments, the connection portion 241 is fixedly disposed on the anti-shake drive mechanism 25 and electrically connected to the image sensor 22. At least the routing portion 242 in the first circuit element 24 is made of a flexible material, and at least a portion of the routing portion 242 can be deformed as the anti-shake drive mechanism 25 moves relative to the anti-shake bracket 26. For example, the routing portion 242 and the connection portion 241 are both flexible circuit boards, or the routing portion 242 is a flexible circuit board, and the connection portion 241 is a printed circuit board. Such a configuration can improve the reliability of the electrical connection between the connection portion 241 and the image sensor 22. At the same time, while the routing portion 242 is electrically connected to the connection portion 241, it can also adapt to deformation as the anti-shake drive mechanism 25 moves relative to the anti-shake bracket 26, and is not easily damaged during movement, which is beneficial to improving the structural reliability of the first circuit element 24.

[0056] Combination Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, in some embodiments, the wiring portion 242 includes a first circuit structure 2421 and a second circuit structure 2422 that are connected to each other, the first circuit structure 2421 is fixedly disposed on the anti-shake bracket 26 and is located between the lens 21 and the image sensor 22, and the two ends of the second circuit structure 2422 are respectively connected to the first circuit structure 2421 and the connecting portion 241. Therefore, the two ends of the second circuit structure 2422 are respectively limited by the first circuit structure 2421 and the connecting portion 241, so that the second circuit structure 2422 is not easy to separate from the anti-shake bracket 26 during the deformation caused by the movement of the anti-shake driving mechanism 25, which is conducive to improving the structural reliability of the wiring portion 242.

[0057] In some embodiments, one end of the second circuit structure 2422 is connected to one of the two edges of the connecting portion 241 that are opposite to each other in the first direction 391, and the other end is connected to the first circuit structure 2421 between the lens 21 and the image sensor 22, so that the second circuit structure 2422 has at least one corner 2423 in the extension direction, and the first direction 391 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the lens 21 and the vertical connection line between the lens 21 and the image sensor 22. In other words, the second circuit structure 2422 has at least a portion extending along the first direction 391 and a portion extending along the second direction 392. Figure 7 In the illustrated embodiment, the second circuit structure 2422 is composed of two parts extending along the first direction 391 and the second direction 392, respectively, and a corner 2423 is formed between the two parts. Therefore, when the anti-shake driving mechanism 25 drives the image sensor 22 to move relative to the anti-shake bracket 26 along the first direction 391, the part of the second circuit structure 2422 extending along the second direction 392 will be driven to deform in the first direction 391, and the part of the second circuit structure 2422 extending along the first direction 391 is the lifting structure support of the second circuit structure 2422, and when the anti-shake driving mechanism 25 drives the image sensor 22 to move relative to the anti-shake bracket 26 along the second direction 392, the part of the second circuit structure 2422 extending along the second direction 392 will be driven to deform in the first direction 391. Therefore, by rationally planning the shape of the second circuit structure 2422, the stability and reliability of the second circuit structure 2422 moving in the first direction 391 and the second direction 392 with the anti-shake driving mechanism 25 can be improved, and the risk of damage to the second circuit structure 2422 can be reduced.

[0058] Combination Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, in some embodiments, the anti-shake bracket 26 includes a base 261, a first shell 262, and an isolating member 263. The base 261 is disposed on the optical transmission element 23. The first shell 262 is disposed on the base 261 and is disposed around the image sensor 22 in the circumferential direction. The second circuit structure 2422, the image sensor 22, and the anti-shake driving mechanism 25 can all be located in the space surrounded by the first shell 262. The isolating member 263 is disposed on the base 261 and is located in the space surrounded by the first shell 262. The isolating member 263 is located between the lens 21 and the image sensor 22, and at least one end of the isolating member 263 in the first direction 391 is spaced from the first shell 262. The isolating member 263 is spaced from the first shell 262 in the second direction 392. The portion of the second circuit structure 2422 extending along the second direction 392 passes through the gap between the end of the isolating member 263 and the first shell 262, and the rest of the second circuit structure 2422, including the portion having the corner 2423, is located between the first shell 262 and the isolating member 263 in the second direction 392. In this way, the gap between the end of the isolating member 263 and the first shell 262 can guide and limit the sliding of the portion of the second circuit structure 2422 passing through the gap in the second direction 392, and can also limit the sliding of the portion in the first direction 391, so that it is not easy to escape from the gap between the end of the isolating member 263 and the first shell 262, and the space formed by the isolating member 263 and the second shell in the second direction 392 can limit the main part of the second circuit structure 2422, and the main part of the second circuit structure 2422 is not easy to escape from the space during the deformation process, which is conducive to preventing the second circuit structure 2422 from damaging or interfering with the shaking of the image sensor 22 during the deformation process, and improving the structural reliability of the camera module 20.

[0059] Please see again Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, in some embodiments, the routing portion 242 includes two second circuit structures 2422, the two second circuit structures 2422 are both connected to the first circuit structure 2421, and the two second circuit structures 2422 are respectively connected to two opposite edges of the connecting portion 241 in the first direction 391. Therefore, the provision of the two second circuit structures 2422 can meet the routing travel requirements of the first circuit element 24, and reduce the difficulty of setting the first circuit element 24. At the same time, when the anti-shake driving mechanism 25 drives the image sensor 22 to move, the two second circuit structures 2422 can apply a force to the connecting portion 241 at two opposite edges of the connecting portion 241 in the first direction 391, and maintain the force balance of the two edges of the connecting portion 241, thereby improving the stability of the image sensor 22 moving relative to the optical transmission element 23, which is conducive to improving the accuracy of optical anti-shake. It is understandable that when the routing portion 242 is provided with two second circuit structures 2422 , the two opposite end surfaces of the isolation member 263 are spaced apart from the first shell 262 in the first direction 391 , and the two second circuit structures 2422 pass through the gaps between the two ends of the isolation member 263 and the first shell 262 .

[0060] refer to Fig. 9 and Fig.10 In some embodiments, the routing portion 242 may also be provided with only one second circuit structure 2422, which is beneficial to simplify the structural setting of the first circuit element 24. Fig. 9 In the illustrated embodiment, the second circuit structure 2422 is provided with two corners 2423, one of which is formed between two parts extending along the first direction 391 and the second direction 392, and the other corner 2423 is formed between two parts extending along the second direction 392. Thus, while providing one second circuit structure 2422, the routing path of the second circuit structure 2422 can be extended to meet the routing travel requirements, and the provision of the two corners 2423 is also conducive to improving the reliability of the second circuit structure 2422 being deformed as the anti-shake drive mechanism 25 moves.

[0061] In some embodiments, the camera module 20 further includes a reinforcement structure 28, which is sleeved at the corner 2423 of the second circuit structure 2422. The reinforcement structure 28 may be a flexible plastic support structure. The reinforcement structure 28 can enhance the support effect of the second circuit structure 2422 at the corner 2423, reduce the tensile stress of the second circuit structure 2422 during the deformation process, and thus avoid damage to the second circuit structure 2422 during the deformation. In some embodiments, the second circuit structure 2422 and the connecting portion 241 are both made of flexible materials, and the stiffness of the second circuit structure 2422 is less than that of the connecting portion 241. For example, the stiffness of the second circuit structure 2422 can be made less than that of the connecting portion 241 by reducing the width of the second circuit structure 2422 or reducing the thickness of the substrate layer or the copper layer in the layer structure of the second circuit structure 2422. This is beneficial to improving the reliability of the electrical connection between the connecting portion 241 and the image sensor 22, and can also make the second circuit structure 2422 more easily deformed with the movement of the anti-shake drive mechanism 25, thereby reducing the interference of the second circuit structure 2422 on the anti-shake movement of the image sensor 22, which is beneficial to improving the sensitivity and accuracy of anti-shake.

[0062] Please see again Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the anti-shake drive mechanism 25 is disposed on the base 261 and is located in the space surrounded by the first shell 262, the first circuit structure 2421 is connected to the second circuit structure 2422 on the side of the first shell 262 facing the image sensor 22, and is wound along the first shell 262 from the side of the first shell 262 facing the image sensor 22 to the side of the first shell 262 facing away from the image sensor 22, that is, the first circuit structure 2421 is led out of the first shell 262 from the position of the first shell 262 between the lens 21 and the image sensor 22. The anti-shake bracket 26 may further include a cover 264, which is disposed on the first shell 262 and covers the anti-shake drive mechanism 25, the second circuit structure 2422 and the image sensor 22 to provide protection for the components in the anti-shake bracket 26, and a gap may be reserved between the cover 264 and the first shell 262 for the first circuit structure 2421 to be wound out.

[0063] In some embodiments, the first circuit element 24 further includes a winding portion 2424, which is connected to the first circuit structure 2421 on the side of the first shell 262 facing away from the image sensor 22, and the end of the winding portion 2424 away from the first circuit structure 2421 in the extension direction is used to be led out from the camera module 20 to be bound with other circuit structures, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the image sensor 22 and external components such as the central processing unit. In some embodiments, the winding portion 2424 is wound along the circumference of the lens 21 to the side of the lens 21 facing away from the image sensor 22, and the end is led out from the side of the lens 21 facing away from the image sensor 22. By winding the wire winding portion 2424 with the help of structural parts such as the lens barrel of the lens 21, or with the help of the outer peripheral surface of the shell 331 of the focus driving mechanism 33 used to drive the lens 21 to move axially to achieve optical focus, the space utilization efficiency of the camera module 20 can be improved, and the space occupied by the camera module 20 can be compressed. At the same time, the wire winding portion 2424 is led out to the side of the lens 21 facing away from the image sensor 22, and the first circuit element 24 does not occupy the space of the camera module 20 in the first direction 391, which is conducive to compressing the size of the camera module 20 in the first direction 391 and improving the flexibility of installing the camera module 20 in the electronic device 10. Reference Fig.11 and Fig.12 As shown, in some embodiments, the winding portion 2424 can also be wound along the side of the first shell 262 facing away from the image sensor 22 to one of the two opposite sides of the first shell 262 in the first direction 391, and the winding is performed with the help of the outer peripheral surface of the first shell 262, which is also beneficial to compressing the size of the camera module 20.

[0064] Combination Figure 6 , Fig.13 , Fig.14 and Fig.15 As shown, in some embodiments, the anti-shake driving mechanism 25 includes a first carrier 251, a second carrier 252, a first driving component 253 and a second driving component 254. The image sensor 22 is disposed on the first carrier 251, the first carrier 251 is disposed on the second carrier 252, and the second carrier 252 is disposed on the anti-shake bracket 26. The first driving component 253 is used to drive the first carrier 251 and the second carrier 252 to move relative to the optical conductive element 23 in the second direction 392, thereby driving the image sensor 22 to move relative to the optical conductive element 23 in the second direction 392. The second driving component 254 is used to drive the first carrier 251 to move relative to the second carrier 252 in the first direction 391, thereby driving the image sensor 22 to move relative to the optical conductive element 23 in the first direction 391.

[0065] In some embodiments, the first driving component 253 and the second driving component 254 both include magnetic elements and electromagnetic elements, the magnetic elements include but are not limited to magnets, etc., and the electromagnetic elements include but are not limited to coils, etc. One of the magnetic element and the electromagnetic element of the first driving component 253, and one of the magnetic element and the electromagnetic element of the second driving component 254 are fixedly disposed on the first carrier 251, and the other of the magnetic element and the electromagnetic element of the first driving component 253, and the other of the magnetic element and the electromagnetic element of the second driving component 254 are fixedly disposed on the base 261. A first groove 2511 extending along the first direction 391 is provided on the side of the first carrier 251 facing the second carrier 252, and a second groove 2521 extending along the second direction 392 is provided on the side of the second carrier 252 facing the base 261. The first carrier 251 and the second carrier 252 may also be provided with a limiting structure 255 respectively. The limiting structure 255 on one of the first carrier 251 and the second carrier 252 is embedded in the limiting structure 255 of the other, so that the first carrier 251 and the second carrier 252 can limit each other in the second direction 392. Fig.15 In the illustrated embodiment, the limiting structure 255 on the first carrier 251 may be a groove structure concavely disposed toward the second carrier 252, the limiting structure 255 on the second carrier 252 may be a protruding structure protruding toward the first carrier 251, and the limiting structure 255 on the second carrier 252 is embedded in the limiting structure 255 on the first carrier 251. The anti-shake driving mechanism 25 may further include a sliding support member 256, the sliding support member 256 includes but is not limited to a ball bearing, the sliding support member 256 is disposed on the first groove 2511 and the second groove 2521 in a one-to-one correspondence, the two opposite sides of the sliding support member 256 disposed on the first groove 2511 are respectively slidably matched with the first carrier 251 and the second carrier 252, and the two opposite sides of the sliding support member 256 disposed on the second groove 2521 are respectively slidably matched with the second carrier 252 and the base 261.

[0066] It can be understood that the magnetic force generated by the magnetic element and the electromagnetic element of the first driving component 253 cooperates to drive the first carrier 251 to drive the image sensor 22 to move relative to the optical conductive element 23 in the second direction 392, and due to the setting of the limiting structure 255, the first carrier 251 and the second carrier 252 are mutually limited in the second direction 392, so when the first driving component 253 drives the first carrier 251 to move relative to the optical conductive element 23 in the second direction 392, the second carrier 252 will move along the second direction 392 synchronously with the first carrier 251, so as to slide relative to the base 261 under the setting of the sliding support 256 and the second groove 2521. The magnetic force generated by the magnetic element and the electromagnetic element of the second driving component 254 can drive the first carrier 251 to drive the image sensor 22 to move relative to the second carrier 252 in the first direction 391, and the first carrier 251 slides relative to the second carrier 252 under the setting of the sliding support 256 and the first groove 2511. The anti-shake driving mechanism 25 has a close fit between its components and a compact structure, which can effectively reduce the size of the camera module 20 and improve the sensitivity, accuracy and reliability of the optical anti-shake. Of course, a plurality of first grooves 2511 and second grooves 2521 can be provided to improve the relative sliding stability of the first carrier 251, the second carrier 252 and the base 261. Fig.15 In the illustrated embodiment, two first grooves 2511 are provided and distributed at two corners of the first carrier 251 , and three second grooves 2521 are provided and distributed at two carriers of the second carrier 252 .

[0067] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the first drive assembly 253 is located between the image sensor 22 and the lens 21 , and the space between the image sensor 22 and the lens 21 is used to accommodate the first drive assembly 253 , which is beneficial to improving the space utilization efficiency of the camera module 20 , thereby further compressing the size of the camera module 20 .

[0068] See also Fig.16 , Fig.17 and Fig.18As shown, in some embodiments, when the anti-shake bracket 26 is disposed on the prism bracket 27 for accommodating the optical conductive element 23, the anti-shake bracket 26 is provided with a hollow groove 2611 opposite to the optical conductive element 23, and the hollow groove 2611 can be provided on the base 261, and the optical conductive element 23 is exposed from the hollow groove 2611. One of the magnetic element and the electromagnetic element of the first driving component 253 is disposed on the anti-shake driving mechanism 25, and the other is disposed on the optical conductive element 23 and is disposed corresponding to the hollow groove 2611. In this way, the compactness of the structure of the camera module 20 is improved, the space occupied by the base 261 and the first driving component 253 in the axial direction of the lens 21 is saved, and the arrangement of the first driving component 253 between the lens 21 and the image sensor 22 is conducive to further compressing the size of the camera module 20.

[0069] Combination Figure 4 and Fig.13 As shown, in some embodiments, the camera module 20 further includes a second circuit element 29, a filter 31 and a sensor bracket 32. The image sensor 22 is disposed on the second circuit element 29 and is electrically connected to the second circuit element 29. The connecting portion 241 is electrically connected to the second circuit element 29. The second circuit element 29 may be a printed circuit board of the image sensor 22, and is used to realize signal transmission to the second circuit element 29. The sensor bracket 32 ​​is disposed on the second circuit element 29 and is arranged around the image sensor 22. The filter 31 is located on the side of the image sensor 22 facing the optical transmission element 23 and is disposed on the sensor bracket 32. The filter 31 includes but is not limited to an infrared filter element, which is used to filter out interference light such as infrared light in the light emitted from the light emitting area 2312, so as to prevent the interference light from being emitted to the image sensor 22 and affecting the imaging quality. In some embodiments, the second circuit element 29, the filter 31, the sensor bracket 32 ​​and the image sensor 22 are integrated on the first carrier 251. During the preparation of the camera module 20, the second circuit element 29, the filter 31, the sensor bracket 32 ​​and the image sensor 22 can be integrated into an integrated structure, and then the integration is set on the first carrier 251. This is beneficial to simplify the preparation process of the camera module 20, reduce the preparation difficulty and preparation cost, and is also beneficial to improve the assembly accuracy of the image sensor 22 and other components such as the filter 31, and improve the imaging quality. At the same time, during the assembly process, the image sensor 22 and the filter 31 can be supported and protected by the sensor bracket 32 ​​and the second circuit element 29, reducing the risk of damage to the image sensor 22 and the filter 31, which is beneficial to improving the reliability of the structure.

[0070] Please see again Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments, the lens 21 includes a first lens group 211 and a second lens group 212 sequentially arranged along the propagation direction of the optical path, the first lens group 211 and the second lens group 212 each include one or more lenses with optical power, the first lens group 211 and the second lens group 212 are coaxially arranged, and the light collected by the lens 21 is sequentially adjusted by the first lens group 211 and the second lens group 212 and then projected onto the optical transmission element 23. The camera module 20 also includes a focus drive mechanism 33, which includes but is not limited to a voice coil motor, etc. The focus drive mechanism 33 includes a housing 331 and a moving part 332, the moving part 332 is arranged in the housing 331, and can move relative to the housing 331 along the axial direction of the lens 21 by means of a magnetic field force. The first lens group 211 is fixedly disposed on the housing 331, and the second lens group 212 is connected to the moving portion 332. When the moving portion 332 moves relative to the housing 331, it can drive the second lens group 212 to move relative to the first lens group 211 and the optical transmission element 23 to change the focal length of the lens group and realize the optical focusing function. Therefore, the camera module 20 divides the lens 21 into two lens groups, and realizes optical focus by driving the second lens group 212 to move, which is beneficial to reducing the load of the focus drive mechanism 33, thereby helping to compress the volume of the focus drive mechanism 33 and the size of the camera module 20. At the same time, mobile focus is realized by the second lens group 212 located between the first lens group 211 and the optical transmission element 23 in the direction of light propagation. The moving stroke of the second lens group 212 and at least part of the size of the focus drive mechanism 33 can utilize the space between the first lens group 211 and the optical transmission element 23, which is beneficial to further compressing the axial stroke of the camera module 20 in the lens 21. In addition, the first lens group 211 is fixedly arranged on the housing 331 of the focus drive mechanism 33. The focus drive mechanism 33 is used to simultaneously carry the first lens group 211 and the second lens group 212, which is also beneficial to improving the structural compactness of the camera module 20 and further compressing the size of the camera module 20. In addition, the focus drive mechanism 33 drives the second lens group 212 to move, and the anti-shake drive mechanism 25 drives the image sensor 22 to move, so that the focus and anti-shake mechanisms can be separated, so that at least part of the size of the focus drive mechanism 33 and the anti-shake drive mechanism 25 in the axial direction of the lens 21 overlap, which is conducive to compressing the size of the camera module 20 in the axial direction of the lens 21, and at the same time, it can also avoid crosstalk between the focus movement and the anti-shake movement process, and improve the operating stability and reliability of the camera module 20. The independent setting of the anti-shake drive mechanism 25 and the focus drive mechanism 33 is also conducive to increasing the focus and anti-shake travel. The design of internal focus is also conducive to the second lens group 212 to form a focus to a macro object distance through a small movement, thereby improving the application range and shooting quality of the camera module 20.

[0071] In some embodiments, the number of lenses in the second lens group 212 is less than the number of lenses in the first lens group 211, and optical focus is achieved by driving the second lens group 212, which has a smaller number of lenses, a smaller volume and a smaller weight, to move, which is beneficial to further reduce the load of the focus drive mechanism 33 and compress the occupied space of the camera module 20. The number of lenses in the first lens group 211 and the second lens group 212 is not limited, and can be specifically set according to the imaging requirements of the camera module 20. For example, in some embodiments, the first lens group 211 includes a glass lens and two plastic lenses sequentially arranged along the propagation direction of the light path, and the second lens group 212 includes a plastic lens.

[0072] See also Fig.19 , Fig. 20 , Fig.21 as well as Fig. 22 As shown, in some embodiments, the camera module 20 also includes an anti-shake circuit carrier 34, a flexible support member 35 and a driving module 36. The flexible support member 35 is arranged on the anti-shake circuit carrier 34, the image sensor 22 is arranged on the flexible support member 35 and is electrically connected to the anti-shake circuit carrier 34, and the driving module 36 is used to drive the image sensor 22 to move relative to the anti-shake circuit carrier 34 in at least one of the first direction 391 and the second direction 392 to achieve optical image stabilization. Figure 19-22 Another method of driving the image sensor 22 to move to achieve optical image stabilization is provided. In the present embodiment, the anti-shake circuit carrier 34 is used to realize communication between external components such as the central processing unit and the image sensor 22. The camera module 20 can be electrically connected to the external components through a flexible circuit board directly led out from the anti-shake circuit carrier 34. Of course, the flexible circuit board in this embodiment can also be replaced by the first circuit element 24 described in any of the above embodiments. With the help of the first circuit element 24 in the space accommodating part between the lens 21 and the image sensor 22, the space utilization efficiency of the camera module 20 can be improved and the size of the camera module 20 can be compressed.

[0073] Combination Fig. 22 and Fig.23 As shown, in some embodiments, the flexible support member 35 includes a deformation portion 351 and a bearing portion 352, the deformation portion 351 is fixedly disposed on the anti-shake circuit carrier 34, the bearing portion 352 is connected to the deformation portion 351 and suspended on the anti-shake circuit carrier 34, and the image sensor 22 is carried on the bearing portion 352. When the driving module 36 drives the image sensor 22 to move relative to the optical transmission element 23, the image sensor 22 will drive the bearing portion 352 to move, thereby driving the deformation portion 351 to deform and move with the image sensor 22.

[0074] In some embodiments, the deformation part 351 includes a deformation body 3511 and a fixing structure 3512. The deformation body 3511 is arranged around the image sensor 22 along the axial direction. The fixing structure 3512 is connected to the inner side of the deformation body 3511 and fixedly connected to the anti-shake circuit carrier 34. The deformation body 3511 is located at the outer portion of the fixing structure 3512 and is spaced apart from the anti-shake circuit carrier 34. The bearing part 352 is connected to the inner side of the deformation body 3511. In this way, the deformation body 3511 can not only effectively support the image sensor 22 and improve the structural reliability of the camera module 20, but also the connection area between the deformation body 3511 and the anti-shake circuit carrier 34 is small, and can be deformed with the movement of the image sensor 22, which is conducive to the realization of the anti-shake function. At the same time, the movement of the image sensor 22 is not easy to interfere with the anti-shake circuit carrier 34.

[0075] The material of the flexible support member 35 includes, but is not limited to, any suitable material that can provide support for the image sensor 22 and has a flexible deformation function, such as titanium copper alloy and stainless steel. The integrated flexible support member 35 is provided to provide support for the image sensor 22, and the deformation body 3511 is arranged around the image sensor 22, which is also conducive to reducing the number of parts of the anti-shake mechanism, simplifying the structural setting of the anti-shake mechanism, reducing the preparation cost of the anti-shake mechanism, and effectively compressing the size of the camera module 20.

[0076] In some embodiments, the flexible support member 35 is provided with two bearing parts 352, and the two bearing parts 352 are respectively connected to two opposite parts of the deformation body 3511 in the second direction 392, and the deformation body 3511 is provided with two fixing structures 3512, and the two fixing structures 3512 are respectively connected to two opposite parts of the deformation body 3511 in the first direction 391. In this way, the connection area between the flexible support member 35 and the anti-shake circuit carrier 34 can be reduced while improving the reliability of the setting of the flexible support member 35 on the anti-shake circuit carrier 34. At the same time, the two bearing parts 352 can also effectively carry the image sensor 22, thereby improving the structural reliability of the camera module 20. In some embodiments, the camera module 20 further includes a second circuit element 29, the image sensor 22 is provided on the second circuit element 29 and is electrically connected to the second circuit element 29, and the second circuit element 29 is provided on the bearing part 352 of the flexible support member 35 and is electrically connected to the anti-shake circuit carrier 34.

[0077] In some embodiments, the camera module 20 further includes an anti-shake seat 37, which is disposed on the optical transmission element 23, and an anti-shake circuit carrier 34 is covered on the anti-shake seat 37. The second circuit element 29, the flexible support member 35 and the image sensor 22 are all located in a space surrounded by the anti-shake circuit carrier 34 and the anti-shake seat 37. The anti-shake seat 37 and the anti-shake circuit carrier 34 can provide protection for components such as the image sensor 22, the second circuit element 29 and the flexible support member 35. The driving module 36 includes a magnetic element and an electromagnetic element that are relatively arranged, one of which is disposed on the anti-shake seat 37 and the other is disposed on the second circuit element 29. The magnetic field force generated by the magnetic element and the electromagnetic element can drive the second circuit element 29 to drive the image sensor 22 to move relative to the optical transmission element 23 to achieve the optical anti-shake function. In some embodiments, the driving modules 36 may be provided in two groups, wherein one group of driving modules 36 is used to drive the image sensor 22 to move relative to the optical conductive element 23 in the first direction 391 , and the other group of driving modules 36 is used to drive the image sensor 22 to move relative to the optical conductive element 23 in the second direction 392 .

[0078] Combination Fig. 22 and Fig.24 As shown, in some embodiments, the camera module 20 further includes an elastic conductive cantilever 38, which is connected to the second circuit element 29 and the anti-shake circuit carrier 34, and is electrically connected to the second circuit element 29 and the anti-shake circuit carrier 34. The elastic conductive cantilever 38 can be deformed with the movement of the second circuit element 29 relative to the anti-shake circuit carrier 34. The elastic conductive cantilever 38 is provided to establish an electrical connection between the second circuit element 29 and the anti-shake circuit carrier 34. The elastic conductive cantilever 38 can be elastically deformed during the movement of the image sensor 22 relative to the optical conductive element 23, thereby maintaining the stability of the electrical connection between the second circuit element 29 and the anti-shake circuit carrier 34 during the movement of the image sensor 22. The material of the elastic conductive cantilever 38 includes but is not limited to silicon wire, for example, it can be a multilayer material composed of silicon material and metal material, as long as it can be elastically deformed with the movement of the second circuit element 29 and has sufficient strength so as not to be easily broken or damaged during the movement.

[0079] In this embodiment, during the assembly process of the camera module 20, the anti-shake circuit carrier 34, the second circuit element 29, the image sensor 22, the flexible support member 35 and the elastic conductive cantilever 38 can be integrated first and then installed on the anti-shake seat 37, which is also beneficial to reduce the difficulty of assembling the camera module 20, improve the assembly accuracy and avoid damage to the image sensor 22, the elastic conductive cantilever 38 and the flexible support member 35 during the assembly process.

Although in Fig.25 In the embodiment, the touch-sensitive surface and the display panel are used as two independent components to realize input and output functions, but in some embodiments, the touch-sensitive surface and the display panel can be integrated to realize input and output functions.
