[0058] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementations consistent with the present application. Instead, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present application as detailed in the appended claims.
[0059] In the description of the present application, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" and the like indicate directions or positional relationships based on the attached Figure 1 The orientation or positional relationship shown is only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operate in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present application.
[0060] It should be understood that in this application, "electrical connection" can be understood as physical contact and electrical conduction between components; it can also be understood as a form of connection between different components in the circuit structure through physical lines such as printed circuit board (PCB) copper foil or wires that can transmit electrical signals. "Communication connection" can refer to electrical signal transmission, including wireless communication connection and wired communication connection. Wireless communication connection does not require a physical medium and does not belong to a connection relationship that limits the product structure. "Connection" and "connected" can both refer to a mechanical connection relationship or a physical connection relationship, that is, A is connected to B or A is connected to B, which can mean that there is a fastening component (such as screws, bolts, rivets, etc.) between A and B, or A and B are in contact with each other and A and B are difficult to separate.
[0061] Unless otherwise defined, all technical terms used in the embodiments of the present application have the same meanings as commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the art.
[0062] A Hall device is a solid-state electronic device that utilizes the Hall effect. It uses a magnetic field as a working medium and converts the motion parameters of an object into a digital voltage output, giving it sensing and switching functions.
[0063] Focal length is also called focal length. It is a measure of the convergence or divergence of light in an optical system. It refers to the distance from the center of the lens to the focus of light. Focusing is also called focusing. The process of changing the distance and position of the object through the camera focusing mechanism to make the image of the object clear is focusing.
[0064] In the camera modules of electronic devices such as mobile phones, in order to make the image of the object being photographed clear, it is necessary to adjust the distance between the lens and the photosensitive element. However, the camera module cannot be adjusted manually like a digital camera, and can only be automatically adjusted through structures such as voice coil motors. In order to achieve a closed loop for the diagonal of the camera module, a Hall device is usually used to measure the change in the magnetic induction intensity of the moving parts to detect the change in the position of the camera module lens, thereby completing the closed-loop focusing function.
[0065] However, due to the shortcomings of Hall devices such as poor anti-interference and high device cost, the use of camera modules is limited.
[0066] Therefore, the present application provides a camera module and an electronic device, which utilize a detection component to achieve closed-loop focus of the camera module. The detection component has a simple structure and low cost. The moving pole piece and the fixed pole piece can be separated by only a small distance, which is beneficial to reducing the spacing between the moving part and the stator part, which is beneficial to reducing the overall size of the actuator, and is beneficial to the miniaturization and micro-miniaturization development of the camera module.
[0067] The electronic device in the embodiment of the present application may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a smart bracelet, a smart watch, a smart helmet, smart glasses, etc. The electronic device may also be a cellular phone, a cordless phone, a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) phone, a Wireless Local Loop (WLL) station, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a handheld device with wireless communication function, a computing device or other processing device connected to a wireless modem, a vehicle-mounted device, an electronic device in a 5G network, or an electronic device in a future Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN), etc., and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this.
[0068] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the implementation methods of the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0069] On the one hand, combined with Figure 1-3 As shown, this embodiment provides a camera module, which includes: an actuator 1, an optical lens 2 and a photosensitive component 3.
[0070] The actuator 1 includes a first mover part 11, a second mover part 12, a stator part 13 and a detection component 14; the optical lens 2 is connected to the first mover part 11, the photosensitive component 3 is connected to the stator part 13, the first mover part 11 and the second mover part 12 are movably connected along the light path A of the optical lens 2, and the second mover part 12 and the stator part 13 are movably connected along a direction perpendicular to the light path A.
[0071] The camera module of this embodiment includes an actuator 1, an optical lens 2 and a photosensitive component 3, wherein the actuator 1 includes a first movable part 11, a second movable part 12, a stator part 13 and a detection component 14, the first movable part 11 and the second movable part 12 are movably connected to drive the optical lens 2 to move along the direction of the light path A to achieve the focus of the camera module, the second movable part 12 and the stator part 13 are movably linked to drive the optical lens 2 to move in a direction perpendicular to the light path A to achieve the anti-shake of the camera module; the detection component 14 includes at least one capacitor structure, when the first movable part 11 or the second movable part 12 is active, the capacitance value of at least one capacitor structure can be changed, so that the relative position between the optical lens 2 and the photosensitive component 3 can be determined, thereby achieving closed-loop focus and closed-loop anti-shake of the camera module.
[0072] The detection component 14 has a simple structure and low cost, which is beneficial to reducing the distance between the first mover part, the second mover part and the stator part, which is beneficial to reducing the overall size of the actuator 1 and is beneficial to the miniaturization and micro-miniaturization of the camera module.
[0073] Combination Figure 1-3 As shown, in some embodiments, the detection component 14 includes at least one first moving pole piece 141 and at least one first fixed pole piece 142; at least one first moving pole piece 141 is located on the first movable part 11, and at least one first fixed pole piece 142 is located on the second movable part 12, and the position of at least one first moving pole piece 141 and the position of at least one first fixed pole piece 142 are spaced relative to each other to form at least one capacitor structure.
[0074] The number of the first moving pole pieces 141 and the number of the first fixed pole pieces 142 may be the same or different, and the number of each pole piece may be one, two, three, etc.
[0075] In addition, it should be noted that the position of at least one first moving pole piece 141 and the position of at least one first fixed pole piece 142 are spaced relative to each other, which does not limit the first moving pole piece 141 and the first fixed pole piece 142 to a one-to-one correspondence, and the two can be one-to-many, or many-to-one.
[0076] The camera module is configured such that when the first movable part 11 drives the optical lens 2 to move along the light path to realize the focusing function of the camera module, the relative positions of at least one first movable pole piece 141 and at least one first fixed pole piece 142 change. Exemplarily, the first movable pole piece 141 and the first fixed pole piece 142 are arranged on the first movable part 11 and the second movable part 12, respectively. During the focusing process, the distance between the first movable part 11 and the second movable part 12 remains unchanged, and the facing area of the first movable pole piece 141 and the first fixed pole piece 142 changes with the movement of the first movable part 11.
[0077] The detection component 14 of this embodiment has a simple structure and low cost. The moving pole piece and the fixed pole piece can be separated by only a small distance, which is beneficial to reducing the spacing between the first mover part 11, the second mover part 12 and the stator part 13, which is beneficial to reducing the overall size of the actuator 1 and is beneficial to the miniaturization and micro-miniaturization of the camera module.
[0078] Combination Figure 1-3 As shown, in some embodiments, the camera module also includes: at least one second moving pole piece 143 and at least one second fixed pole piece 144; at least one second moving pole piece 143 is located on the second movable part 12, and at least one second fixed pole piece 144 is located on the stator part 13, and the position of at least one second moving pole piece 143 and the position of at least one second fixed pole piece 144 are spaced relative to each other to form at least one capacitor structure.
[0079] The number of the second moving pole pieces 143 and the number of the second fixed pole pieces 144 may be the same or different, and the number of each pole piece may be one, two, three, etc.
[0080] In addition, it should be noted that the position of at least one second moving pole piece 143 and the position of at least one second fixed pole piece 144 are spaced relative to each other, which does not limit the second moving pole piece 143 and the second fixed pole piece 144 to a one-to-one correspondence, and the two can be one-to-many, or many-to-one.
[0081] The camera module is configured such that when the second movable part 12 drives the first movable part 11 and the optical lens 2 to move in a direction perpendicular to the light path A to realize the anti-shake function of the camera module, the relative positions of at least one second movable pole piece 143 and at least one second fixed pole piece 144 change. Exemplarily, the second movable pole piece 143 and the second fixed pole piece 144 are arranged on the second movable part 12 and the stator part 13, respectively. During the anti-shake process, the spacing between the second movable part 12 and the stator part 13 remains unchanged, and the facing area of the second movable pole piece 143 and the second fixed pole piece 144 changes with the movement of the second movable part 12.
[0082] Through the above arrangement, the detection component 14 can determine the relative positions of the optical lens 2 and the photosensitive component 3 in the direction perpendicular to the light path A by measuring the capacitance value between the second moving electrode piece 143 and the second fixed electrode piece 144, thereby realizing closed-loop anti-shake of the camera module.
[0083] Combination Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, the detection component 14 also includes a detection unit 145, and the detection unit 145 is electrically connected to at least one first moving pole piece 141, at least one first fixed pole piece 142, at least one second moving pole piece 143 and at least one second fixed pole piece 144 respectively.
[0084] The detection unit 145 is used to detect the change in capacitance between at least one first moving pole piece 141 and at least one first fixed pole piece 142, and determine the relative position of the first mover part 11 and the second mover part 12 according to the change in capacitance; it is also used to detect the change in capacitance between at least one second moving pole piece 143 and at least one second fixed pole piece 144, and determine the relative position of the second mover part 12 and the stator part 13 according to the change in capacitance.
[0085] According to the determining formula of the capacitor device: C=εS / πkd (C is the capacitance value, ε is a constant, S is the facing area of the capacitor plates, d is the distance between the capacitor plates, and k is the electrostatic force constant). When the distance d between the capacitor plates is a constant, the capacitance value of the capacitor is only proportional to the facing area S. Therefore, the position change of the movable part can be detected by the change in the capacitance value of the capacitor caused by the change in the facing area.
[0086] In this embodiment, during the focusing process, the first moving pole piece 141 only moves along the light path with the first moving sub-part 11, and the distance between the first moving pole piece 141 and the first fixed pole piece 142 (the spacing dimension in the direction perpendicular to the light path A) is a constant value, but the facing area of the first moving pole piece 141 and the first fixed pole piece 142 will change with the movement of the first moving sub-part 11, and according to the determination formula of the capacitor element, it can be known that the facing area and the capacitance value are in a linear relationship. The detection unit 145 is used to detect the first moving pole piece 141 and the first fixed pole piece 142. 2, the facing area between the first moving pole piece 141 and the first fixed pole piece 142 can be determined according to the capacitance value, and because the areas of the first moving pole piece 141 and the first fixed pole piece 142 are regular shapes (for example, square, rectangle, etc.), the relative positions of the first moving pole piece 141 and the first fixed pole piece 142 in the direction of the light input path can be easily calculated, so that the relative positions of the first moving sub-part 11 and the second moving sub-part 12 in the direction of the light input path can be determined, thereby realizing closed-loop focus of the camera module.
[0087] During the anti-shake process, the second moving pole piece 143 only moves with the second movable sub-part 12 in the direction perpendicular to the light path A, and the distance between the second moving pole piece 143 and the second fixed pole piece 144 (the spacing dimension in the direction of the light input path) is a constant, but the facing area of the second moving pole piece 143 and the second fixed pole piece 144 will change with the movement of the second movable sub-part 12. The detection unit 145 is used to detect the capacitance value between the second moving pole piece 143 and the second fixed pole piece 144, so as to determine the relative position of the second movable sub-part 12 and the stator part 13 in the direction perpendicular to the light path A, thereby realizing closed-loop anti-shake of the camera module.
[0088] Combination Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the first mover part 11 includes two first drive coils 111, and the two first drive coils 111 are arranged along a first direction B; the second mover part 12 includes two first magnet assemblies 121 and one second magnet assembly 122; the two first magnet assemblies 121 are arranged along the first direction B, and each first magnet assembly 121 corresponds to a position of a drive coil; the second magnet assembly 122 is arranged along the second direction C; the stator part 13 includes at least one second drive coil 131, and the position of at least one second drive coil 131 corresponds to the position of at least one of the first magnet assembly 121 and the second magnet assembly 122; wherein the first direction B and the second direction C are perpendicular to each other, and the first direction B and the second direction C are respectively perpendicular to the light path A.
[0089] Through the above arrangement, the first mover part 11 and the second mover part 12 are coupled by the magnetic field of the first drive coil 111 and the first magnet assembly 121 to achieve the focus drive of the camera module. Between the second mover part 12 and the stator part 13, the magnetic field of the second drive coil 131 and the first magnet assembly 121 and / or the second magnet assembly 122 is coupled to achieve the anti-shake drive of the camera module.
[0090] The second drive coil 131 may be one or more, and the second drive coil 131 may be arranged one-to-one under the first magnet assembly 121 or the second magnet assembly 122, or one-to-many under the first magnet assembly 121 or the second magnet assembly 122. Exemplarily, the second drive coil 131 is a planar coil arranged in a plane perpendicular to the light path A, and the axis of the second drive coil 131 is parallel to the direction of the light path A.

The first carrier component 112 is movably disposed in the second carrier component 123 . The second carrier component 123 is movably disposed in the housing assembly 132 .
[0093] The first carrier component 112 is used to support the optical lens 2 and drive the optical lens 2 to move, thereby realizing the focusing function. The second carrier component 123 supports the first carrier component 112 and drives the first carrier component 112 and the optical lens 2 thereon to move, thereby realizing the anti-shake function.
[0094] In some possible implementations, the shell assembly 132 includes a bottom shell member 1321 and a top shell member 1322, and the bottom shell member 1321 and the top shell member 1322 are buckled together, and the first movable part 11 and the second movable part 12 are wrapped in the shell assembly 132, which is beneficial to improving the integration of the camera module, and utilizing the shell assembly 132 to protect and dustproof the internal structure.

[0096] Optionally, the elastic member 15 includes an upper elastic sheet 151 and a lower elastic sheet 152 , wherein the upper elastic sheet 151 is connected between the upper end of the first carrier member 112 and the upper end of the second carrier member 123 , and the lower elastic sheet 152 is connected between the lower end of the first carrier member 112 and the lower end of the second carrier member 123 .
[0097] Through the above arrangement, the first mover part 11 is elastically and movably connected to the second mover part 12 through the upper spring plate 151 and the lower spring plate 152. When the first drive coil 111 is energized, the first drive coil 111 will generate a coil magnetic field, and the coil magnetic field and the magnetic magnetic field generated by the first magnet assembly 121 interact with each other. The first drive coil 111 will move along the light input path and drive the optical lens 2 on the first carrier member 112 to move together. When the first drive coil 111 is de-energized, the first mover part 11 returns under the elastic force of the upper spring plate 151 and the lower spring plate 152, thereby realizing the autofocus function of the camera module.

It may also be other types of image sensors other than CMOS or CCD, such as a charge injection device (CID).
[0117] It is understandable that for CMOS, a digital signal processor (DSP) can be integrated into CMOS. CMOS has the advantages of high integration, low power consumption, and low cost, and is more suitable for electronic devices with limited installation space, such as mobile phones.

[0123] In some possible implementations, the electronic device includes a mainboard.
[0124] In the camera module provided in this embodiment, during the shooting process, the imaging light of the object enters the optical lens 2 and then reaches the photosensitive element 32. The photons in the imaging light hit the image sensor to generate movable charges. This is the internal photoelectric effect, and the movable charges gather to form an electrical signal.
[0125] The electrical signal is transmitted to the main board through a flexible circuit board or the like. The main board is provided with an analog-to-digital converter (A / D converter) and a digital signal processor (DSP). The A / D converter converts the electrical signal into a digital signal, which is processed by the DSP and finally transmitted to the screen of the electronic device to display the image, thus realizing the shooting of the object.
[0126] In some possible implementations, the terminal device may also include a radio frequency (RF) circuit, a memory including one or more computer-readable storage media, an input unit, a display unit, a sensor, an audio circuit, a Wi-Fi module, a processor including one or more processing cores, and a power supply and other components.

By running or executing software programs and / or modules stored in the memory, and calling data stored in the memory, it executes various functions of the terminal device and processes data, thereby monitoring the mobile phone as a whole. Optionally, the processor may include one or more processing cores; preferably, the processor may integrate an application processor and a modem processor, wherein the application processor mainly processes operating storage media, user interfaces, and application programs, etc., and the modem processor mainly processes wireless communications. It can be understood that the above-mentioned modem processor may not be integrated into the processor.
