Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] With the rapid development of electronic devices such as smart phones, tablet computers, and e-readers, the lens modules in electronic devices tend to be diversified in design to meet different shooting needs. Some electronic devices are equipped with periscope camera modules to obtain higher optical magnification shooting effects. However, the zoom design of periscope camera modules in related technologies is difficult and costly. Summary of the invention

[0003] The embodiments of the present application provide a camera module and an electronic device to solve the problem of difficulty and high cost in zoom design of a periscope camera module.

[0004] A camera module, comprising:

[0005] Lens;

[0006] Image sensor;

[0007] a reflective component, disposed on the light-emitting side of the lens and configured to reflect the light collected by the lens onto the image sensor; and

[0008] The driving element is configured to drive the lens to move relative to the reflective component along the optical axis.

[0009] An electronic device comprises a housing and the camera module as described above, wherein the camera module is arranged in the housing.

[0010] In the above-mentioned camera module, the lens is arranged on the light-incoming side of the reflective component, and the driving element alone drives the lens to move to realize the optical zoom function, without driving the lens and the reflective component to move at the same time, which is conducive to reducing the load of the driving element, thereby helping to reduce the size and design difficulty of the driving element, and thus making the zoom design of the camera module easier to implement. At the same time, the matching structure of the lens and the driving element is relatively independent of the reflective component, and the selection and assembly of the driving element does not need to rely on the structural design of the reflective component, which is also conducive to reducing the design difficulty of the driving element.

[0021] 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.

[0022] 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:

[0023] (1) Connection via wired lines, such as Public Switched Telephone Networks (PSTN), Digital Subscriber Line (DSL), digital cable, and direct cable connection;

[0024] (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.

[0025] 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:

[0026] (1) Satellite phone or cellular phone;

[0027] (2) Personal Communications System (PCS) terminals that can combine cellular radio telephones with data processing, fax, and data communications capabilities;

[0028] (3) Radiotelephone, pager, Internet / intranet access, Web browser, notepad, calendar, Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) equipped with a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver;

[0029] (4) conventional laptop and / or palmtop receivers;

[0030] (5) Conventional laptop and / or palmtop radio telephone transceivers, etc.

[0031] In the related art, an electronic device equipped with a periscope camera module is usually provided with a prism on the light-entering side of the lens to deflect the light path by 90 degrees in order to compress the thickness of the electronic device, and the lens and the prism are assembled together in a lens barrel. When the lens is driven to move along the optical axis by a driving element such as a voice coil motor to achieve optical zoom, the driving element usually needs to drive the lens and the prism to move together as a whole, resulting in an increase in the load of the driving element, which easily leads to an increase in the size and design difficulty of the driving element. At the same time, since the lens and the prism are assembled together, when selecting and assembling the driving element, it is necessary to consider the adaptation of the driving element to the lens and the prism at the same time. It is usually necessary to design and assemble the driving element, the lens and the prism together, which also leads to an increase in the design difficulty and manufacturing cost of the periscope camera module. In addition, since the lens and the prism are assembled together to form a whole, the mass of the lens and the prism as a whole increases. When the electronic device falls, the prism is easy to collide with other structures of the electronic device or fall off due to excessive inertia, resulting in a decrease in the structural reliability of the periscope camera module.

[0032] In order to solve the above problems, the present application provides a camera module and an electronic device.

[0033] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 , Figure 1 is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of the camera module 20 in some embodiments, Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the optical path of the camera module 20 in some embodiments, Figure 6 Schematic diagram of the structure of the electronic device 10 in some embodiments. The camera module 20 provided in the present application is used to collect images of the subject, and can be provided in an electronic device 10 such as a smart phone, a tablet computer, an e-reader, etc. In some embodiments, the camera module 20 may include a lens 21, a reflective component 22, an image sensor 23, and a driving element 24. The lens 21 may include one or more lenses with optical focal length. The lens 21 can collect incident light and adjust the light to improve the imaging quality of the camera module 20. The reflective component 22 is used to deflect the light collected by the lens 21 to the image sensor 23 through one or more reflections, so that the light can be imaged on the image sensor 23. The image sensor 23 includes but is not limited to a charge coupled device (CCD) or a complementary metal oxide semiconductor device (CMOS Sensor). The driving element 24 is used to drive the lens 21 to move along the optical axis to achieve an optical zoom function and improve the adaptability of the camera module 20. The driving element 24 includes but is not limited to a voice coil motor.

[0034] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the reflective component 22 is disposed on the light-emitting side of the lens 21, and the reflective component 22 and the image sensor 23 are fixedly disposed relative to each other. During the optical zoom process, the driving element 24 can drive the lens 21 to move along the optical axis relative to the reflective component 22. In other words, the lens 21 and the driving element 24 are independently disposed relative to the reflective component 22. Figure 6 As shown, when the camera module 20 is disposed on the housing 11 of the electronic device 10 , the lens 21 is movably disposed on the housing 11 under the action of the driving element 24 , while the reflection component 22 and the image sensor 23 are fixedly mounted on the housing 11 .

[0035] In the camera module 20, the lens 21 is arranged on the light incident side of the reflective component 22, and the driving element 24 drives the lens 21 to move alone to realize the optical zoom function, without driving the lens 21 and the reflective component 22 to move at the same time, which is conducive to reducing the load of the driving element 24, thereby helping to reduce the size and design difficulty of the driving element 24, and thus making the zoom design of the camera module 20 easier to achieve. At the same time, the matching structure of the lens 21 and the driving element 24 is relatively independent of the reflective component 22, and the selection and assembly of the driving element 24 do not need to rely on the structural design of the reflective component 22. In other words, the lens 21 and the driving element 24 can be conventionally designed and independently assembled without the need to adapt the design to the reflective component 22, which is also conducive to reducing the design difficulty and manufacturing cost of the driving element 24. In addition, the driving element 24 only drives the lens 21 to move, and the reflective component 22 is fixedly installed in the electronic device 10. The reflective component 22 is not easy to collide or fall off, and the lens 21 is not easy to collide or fall off due to excessive inertia, which is conducive to improving the structural reliability of the camera module 20.

[0036] In some embodiments, the lens 21 and the image sensor 23 are arranged on the same side of the reflective component 22, and the reflective component 22 is configured to be able to deflect the light collected by the lens 21 to the image sensor 23 after at least two reflections. The direction in which the light collected by the lens 21 exits the lens 21 and the direction in which the light enters the image sensor 23 after passing through the reflective component 22 can be parallel to each other or form an acute angle or an obtuse angle. Thus, through the deflection effect of the reflective component 22, the lens 21 and the image sensor 23 can be arranged on the same side of the reflective component 22, and the lens 21 and the image sensor 23 at least partially overlap in the thickness direction of the electronic device 10, which is conducive to reducing the size of the camera module 20 in the thickness direction of the electronic device 10. Therefore, on the basis that the lens 21 is independently arranged on the light incident side of the reflective component 22 and can move along the thickness direction of the electronic device 10 under the drive of the driving element 24, the size of the camera module 20 in the thickness direction of the electronic device 10 can also be made not too large, which is conducive to reducing the thickness of the electronic device 10 and meeting the assembly requirements of the camera module 20 in the electronic device 10.

[0037] In some embodiments, the optical axis of the lens 21 and the axis of the image sensor 23 are parallel to each other, and the reflective component 22 is configured to be able to deflect the optical path by 180 degrees, wherein the axis of the image sensor 23 can be understood as the perpendicular bisector of the photosensitive surface of the image sensor 23. Thus, the alignment and assembly of the lens 21, the reflective component 22 and the image sensor 23 can be made easier, the assembly accuracy can be improved, and the size of the camera module 20 in the thickness direction of the electronic device 10 can be compressed to a greater extent.

[0038] The specific configuration of the reflective component 22 is not limited, as long as it can meet the deflection requirements of the optical path to reflect the output light of the lens 21 to the image sensor 23. In some embodiments, the reflective component 22 includes a first reflective element 221 and a second reflective element 222, both of which are configured to reflect the light once, the light-incoming side of the first reflective element 221 is configured to correspond to the lens 21, the light-outgoing side of the first reflective element 221 is configured to correspond to the light-incoming side of the second reflective element 222, and the light-outgoing side of the second reflective element 222 is configured to correspond to the image sensor 23. After the output light of the lens 21 is incident on the first reflective element 221, it is reflected by the first reflective element 221 and incident on the second reflective element 222, and then reflected by the second reflective element 222 and incident on the image sensor 23.

[0039] In some embodiments, the first reflective element 221 can be regarded as having a first reflective surface 2211, and the second reflective element 222 can be regarded as having a second reflective surface 2221. The first reflective surface 2211 is inclined to the optical axis of the lens 21, and the second reflective surface 2221 is inclined to the axis of the image sensor 23. The first reflective surface 2211 and the second reflective surface 2221 are inclined to each other. The outgoing light of the lens 21 is incident on the first reflective surface 2211, and is incident on the second reflective surface 2221 after a reflection on the first reflective surface 2211, and is incident on the image sensor 23 after a reflection on the second reflective surface 2221. Further, in some embodiments, the first reflective surface 2211 and the optical axis of the lens 21 form an angle of 45 degrees, the first reflective surface 2211 and the second reflective surface 2221 are perpendicular to each other, and the second reflective surface 2221 and the axis of the image sensor 23 form an angle of 45 degrees. Thus, the first reflective surface 2211 and the second reflective surface 2221 can respectively deflect the light path by 90 degrees, so that the reflective component 22 can deflect the light path by 180 degrees, so that the light entering the reflective component 22 can be emitted from the reflective component 22 in a direction parallel to the incident direction and then reach the image sensor 23.

[0040] refer to Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the first reflective element 221 and the second reflective element 222 may both be prisms, for example, right-angle prisms. Figure 2In the illustrated embodiment, the first reflective element 221 and the second reflective element 222 are both right-angle prisms, and the first reflective element 221 and the second reflective element 222 both include two right-angled surfaces and one inclined surface, one of the right-angled surfaces of the first reflective element 221 is disposed toward the lens 21, one of the right-angled surfaces of the second reflective element 222 is disposed toward the image sensor 23, and the other right-angled surface of the first reflective element 221 is disposed opposite to the other right-angled surface of the second reflective element 222. The inclined surface of the first reflective element 221 forms a first reflective surface 2211, and the inclined surface of the second reflective element 222 forms a second reflective surface 2221. In some embodiments, a reflective film layer may be further coated on the first reflective surface 2211 and the second reflective surface 2221 to enhance the reflection effect of the light on the first reflective surface 2211 and the second reflective surface 2221, thereby enhancing the light utilization rate of the camera module 20, thereby facilitating the enhancement of the imaging brightness and imaging quality of the camera module 20.

[0041] refer to Figure 3 As shown, in other embodiments, the first reflective element 221 and the second reflective element 222 may both be plane reflectors, for example, a plane reflector formed by coating a reflective film layer on one surface of a flat glass. By reflecting and deflecting the light path by a plane reflector, the volume and weight of the reflective component 22 can be effectively reduced, thereby reducing the volume and weight of the camera module 20. Of course, in other embodiments, one of the first reflective element 221 and the second reflective element 222 may be a prism and the other may be a plane reflector.

[0042] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the first reflective element 221 and the second reflective element 222 are arranged at intervals from each other, and the gap between the first reflective element 221 and the second reflective element 222 can be an air medium, or can be filled with materials such as light-transmitting glass or light-transmitting plastic. When the first reflective element 221 and the second reflective element 222 are air mediums, the loss of light propagating between the first reflective element 221 and the second reflective element 222 can be reduced, which is conducive to improving the light utilization rate of the camera module 20. The arrangement of the first reflective element 221 and the second reflective element 222 being spaced from each other can extend the path of light in the reflective component 22, that is, the back focus space of the lens 21 is increased without increasing the size of the camera module 20 in the thickness direction of the electronic device 10, so that the lens 21 with a telephoto characteristic can be adapted to achieve a higher optical magnification. It can be understood that the distance between the first reflective element 221 and the second reflective element 222 can be designed according to the back focus length of the lens 21 to meet the corresponding magnification requirements, and this application will not repeat them.

[0043] refer to Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, the camera module 20 may further include a filter element 25, which may be disposed between the second reflective element 222 and the image sensor 23. The filter element 25 is used to filter out interference light to prevent the interference light from reaching the image sensor 23 and affecting normal imaging. In some embodiments, the filter element 25 may be an infrared cutoff filter.

[0044] Further, refer to Figure 4 As shown, in other embodiments, when the first reflective element 221 and the second reflective element 222 are arranged at intervals from each other, the filter element 25 can also be arranged between the first reflective element 221 and the second reflective element 222, and the two opposite surfaces of the filter element 25 are arranged corresponding to the light emitting side of the first reflective element 221 and the light incident side of the second reflective element 222 respectively. Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, it can be understood that when the filter element 25 is disposed between the second reflective element 222 and the image sensor 23, sufficient space is usually required to be reserved between the lens 21 and the first reflective element 221 to accommodate the assembly of the filter element 25. Figure 4 In the embodiment, the filter element 25 is accommodated by means of the gap between the first reflective element 221 and the second reflective element 222, which neither increases the size of the camera module 20 nor eliminates the need to reserve an assembly space for the filter element 25 between the lens 21 and the first reflective element 221, thereby facilitating shortening the distance between the lens 21 and the first reflective element 221 and further compressing the size of the camera module 20 in the thickness direction of the electronic device 10.

[0045] refer to Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments, when the first reflective element 221 and the second reflective element 222 are spaced apart, the camera module 20 may further include a lens assembly 26, which is fixedly disposed between the first reflective element 221 and the second reflective element 222, and the lens assembly 26 is configured to be able to adjust the light collected by the lens 21. The lens assembly 26 may include one or more lenses with optical power. It is understandable that the lens assembly 26 and the lens 21 jointly adjust the light, which is equivalent to dividing the optical system for adjusting the light in the camera module 20 into two parts, the lens 21 and the lens assembly 26, which is conducive to reducing the number of lenses in the lens 21, thereby compressing the size of the lens 21 in the optical axis direction, and then compressing the size of the camera module 20 in the thickness direction of the electronic device 10. By accommodating the lens assembly 26 with the gap between the first reflective element 221 and the second reflective element 222, the size of the camera module 20 will not be increased. Therefore, through the reasonable design of the structure, the space utilization efficiency of the camera module 20 can be improved, the size of the camera module 20 can be compressed, and it is beneficial to the assembly design of the camera module 20 in the electronic device 10. At the same time, the driving element 24 only needs to drive the lens 21 to move to achieve the optical zoom function, that is, it only needs to drive part of the structure of the optical system of the camera module 20 to move, which is also beneficial to reducing the load of the driving element 24, and is beneficial to reducing the volume and design difficulty of the driving element 24.

[0046] Please see again Figure 1 In some embodiments, the camera module 20 further includes a first mounting structure 27 and a second mounting structure 28 connected to each other, the lens 21 and the driving element 24 are arranged in the first mounting structure 27, the driving element 24 is configured to be able to drive the lens 21 to move along the optical axis in the first mounting structure 27 to realize the optical zoom function, and the reflective component 22 is fixedly mounted on the second mounting structure 28. It can be understood that during the assembly process of the camera module 20, the lens 21, the driving element 24 and the first mounting structure 27 can be assembled separately to form a whole, the reflective component 22 and the second mounting structure 28 can be separately installed to form a whole, and then the first mounting structure 27 and the second mounting structure 28 can be connected and assembled to each other. It can also be seen from this that the camera module 20 provided by the present application, the lens 21 and the driving element 24 can be conventionally designed, without relying on the structural design of the reflective component 22, which can improve the design freedom of the lens 21 and the driving element 24 and reduce the difficulty of design and assembly.

[0047] The specific structures of the first mounting structure 27 and the second mounting structure 28 are not limited, as long as they can adapt to the installation of the lens 21, the driving element 24 and the reflective assembly 22. For example, in some embodiments, the first mounting structure 27 can be roughly in the shape of a lens barrel, the second mounting structure 28 can be in the shape of a prism barrel for fixing the first reflective element 221 and the second reflective element 222, and the second mounting structure 28 can include two mounting surfaces 281 inclined to each other, and the first reflective surface 2211 and the second reflective surface 2221 are respectively fixed on the two mounting surfaces 281 of the second mounting structure 28.

[0048] In some embodiments, the camera module 20 may further include a circuit element 29, including but not limited to a flexible printed circuit board (FPC) or a printed circuit board (PCB). The photosensitive element may be disposed on the circuit element 29, and the circuit element 29 is used to realize the communication connection between the photosensitive element and the external circuit, for example, to realize the communication connection between the photosensitive element and the central processing unit or other control chip of the electronic device 10.

[0049] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the present application also provides an electronic device 10, including a housing 11 and a camera module 20 as described in any of the above embodiments, wherein the camera module 20 is disposed in the housing 11. In some embodiments, the housing 11 is further provided with a light inlet 111, and the light inlet 111 is disposed corresponding to the light inlet side of the lens 21, so that the lens 21 can collect light. It can be understood that in the related art, in which a prism is disposed on the light incident side of the lens, since the prism is disposed at the front end of the periscope camera module, the light inlet of the housing corresponding to the periscope camera module usually needs to be made into a square to adapt to the shape of the prism, while the light inlets of other camera modules of the electronic device are usually circular, which easily leads to the mismatch of the shapes of the light inlets of the electronic device and affects the appearance of the electronic device. The electronic device 10 provided in the present application adopts the camera module 20 described in any of the above-mentioned embodiments, and the lens 21 is arranged on the light incident side of the reflective component 22, that is, the lens 21 is located at the front end of the camera module 20. Therefore, the shape of the light inlet 111 can be adapted to the shape of the lens 21 to be made into a circular hole, which is easier to adapt to other hole structures of the electronic device 10, thereby achieving the effect of improving the appearance of the electronic device 10.

[0050] refer to Figure 7 , Figure 7The electronic device 10 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the electronic device 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application. The electronic device 10 may include a radio frequency (RF) circuit 501, a memory 502 including one or more computer-readable storage media, an input unit 503, a display unit 504, a sensor 505, an audio circuit 506, a wireless fidelity (WiFi) module 507, a processor 508 including one or more processing cores, and a power supply 509. Those skilled in the art will understand that Figure 7 The structure of the electronic device 10 shown in the figure does not constitute a limitation on the electronic device 10, and the electronic device 10 may include more or less components than those shown in the figure, or combine certain components, or arrange the components differently.

[0051] The radio frequency circuit 501 can be used to send and receive information, or receive and send signals during a call. In particular, after receiving the downlink information of the base station, it is handed over to one or more processors 508 for processing; in addition, the data related to the uplink is sent to the base station. Usually, the radio frequency circuit 501 includes but is not limited to an antenna, at least one amplifier, a tuner, one or more oscillators, a subscriber identity module (SIM) card, a transceiver, a coupler, a low noise amplifier (LNA), a duplexer, etc. In addition, the radio frequency circuit 501 can also communicate with the network and other devices through wireless communication. The wireless communication can use any communication standard or protocol, including but not limited to the global system for mobile communications (GSM), the general packet radio service (GPRS), the code division multiple access (CDMA), the wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA), the long term evolution (LTE), email, the short message service (SMS), etc.

[0052] The memory 502 can be used to store applications and data. The applications stored in the memory 502 contain executable codes. The applications can be composed of various functional modules. The processor 508 executes various functional applications and data processing by running the applications stored in the memory 502. The memory 502 can mainly include a program storage area and a data storage area, wherein the program storage area can store an operating system, an application required for at least one function (such as a sound playback function, an image playback function, etc.), etc.; the data storage area can store data created according to the use of the electronic device 10 (such as audio data, a phone book, etc.), etc. In addition, the memory 502 can include a high-speed random access memory, and can also include a non-volatile memory, such as at least one disk storage device, a flash memory device, or other volatile solid-state storage devices. Accordingly, the memory 502 can also include a memory controller to provide the processor 508 and the input unit 503 with access to the memory 502.

[0053] The input unit 503 can be used to receive input digital, character information or user feature information (such as fingerprints), and generate keyboard, mouse, joystick, optical or trackball signal input related to user settings and function control. Specifically, in a specific embodiment, the input unit 503 may include a touch-sensitive surface and other input devices. The touch-sensitive surface, also known as a touch display screen or a touch pad, can collect user touch operations on or near it (such as operations performed by users using fingers, styluses, or any other suitable objects or accessories on or near the touch-sensitive surface), and drive corresponding connection devices according to a pre-set program. Optionally, the touch-sensitive surface may include a touch detection device and a touch controller. Among them, the touch detection device detects the user's touch orientation, detects the signal brought by the touch operation, and transmits the signal to the touch controller; the touch controller receives the touch information from the touch detection device, converts it into touch point coordinates, and then sends it to the processor 508, and can receive and execute commands sent by the processor 508.

[0054] The display unit 504 can be used to display information input by the user or information provided to the user and various graphical user interfaces of the electronic device 10, which can be composed of graphics, text, icons, videos and any combination thereof. The display unit 504 may include a display panel. Optionally, the display panel can be configured in the form of a liquid crystal display (LCD), an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), or the like. Furthermore, the touch-sensitive surface may cover the display panel, and when the touch-sensitive surface detects a touch operation on or near it, it is transmitted to the processor 508 to determine the type of touch event, and then the processor 508 provides a corresponding visual output on the display panel according to the type of touch event. Although in Figure 7 In the embodiment, the touch sensitive surface and the display panel are used as two independent components to implement input and output functions, but in some embodiments, the touch sensitive surface and the display panel can be integrated to implement input and output functions. It can be understood that the display screen 110 can include an input unit 503 and a display unit 504.

[0055] The electronic device 10 may also include at least one sensor 505, such as a light sensor, a motion sensor, and other sensors. Specifically, the light sensor may include an ambient light sensor and a proximity sensor, wherein the ambient light sensor may adjust the brightness of the display panel according to the brightness of the ambient light, and the proximity sensor may turn off the display panel and / or backlight when the electronic device 10 is moved to the ear. As a type of motion sensor, the gravity acceleration sensor can detect the magnitude of acceleration in each direction (generally three axes), and can detect the magnitude and direction of gravity when stationary. It can be used for applications that identify the posture of the mobile phone (such as horizontal and vertical screen switching, related games, magnetometer posture calibration), vibration recognition related functions (such as pedometer, tapping), etc.; as for other sensors that the electronic device 10 can also be configured with, such as gyroscopes, barometers, hygrometers, thermometers, infrared sensors, etc., they will not be repeated here.

[0056] The audio circuit 506 can provide an audio interface between the user and the electronic device 10 through a speaker and a microphone.
