Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the technical field of electronic imaging, and particularly relates to a diaphragm conduction mechanism of a lens driving device, a lens driving device, and an imaging module. Background Art

[0002] Currently, large-bottom and large-pixel OISs all need to be equipped with variable apertures. Among them, whether it is an open-loop or closed-loop variable aperture, there are problems with wire routing. Currently, according to wire routing, it is generally divided into a split type (the variable aperture circuit exports the wire to the module through an additional bracket on the housing) and an integrated type (the variable aperture is placed on the carrier lens and actuates together). Among them, the integrated variable aperture is currently commonly used in the logical architecture where the AF motor is built-in and the OIS motor is external. Because the AF built-in itself requires wire conduction through the shrapnel base; however, there is currently no feasible solution for the structure where the AF is external and the OIS is internal.

[0003] In Patent CN 115437095 A, a lens module and an electronic device are disclosed. The lens module includes a base, a driving base, a lens structure, and a supporting component. The supporting component includes a first elastic supporting element and a second elastic supporting element. The first elastic supporting element connects the base and the driving base so that the driving base can be suspended on the base, and the second elastic supporting element connects the driving base and the lens structure so that the lens structure can be suspended on the driving base. In the above lens module, the first elastic supporting element and the second elastic supporting element can effectively support and limit the driving base and the lens structure, which is beneficial to improving the operation stability of the lens module.

[0004] In the above patent, the components external to the aperture structure and the module are connected in a rigid manner, which is not easy to adjust the aperture state. At the same time, in the case of external interference, the rigid connection is easily damaged, and the service life of the components is short. Summary of the Invention

[0027] Embodiment 1

[0028] The aperture conduction mechanism of the lens driving device. The lens driving device includes a base 1 and a moving frame member 2 disposed on the base 1 and moving in a plane perpendicular to the optical axis Z. The variable aperture low-rigidity conduction mechanism further includes:

[0029] A power supply circuit 10, which is fixed on the base 1;

[0030] An aperture conductive spring 3, at least a part of the aperture conductive spring 3 is electrically connected to the power supply circuit 10, and at least a part of the remaining aperture conductive spring 3 is fixed on the moving frame member 2 for supplying power to the variable aperture mechanism fixed on the moving frame member 2.

[0031] The aperture conductive spring 3 has low rigidity and freedom in three directions, and the aperture conductive spring 3 can overcome the reaction forces generated when the carrier and the base move relative to each other in three directions.

[0032] The aperture conductive spring 3 is vertically distributed with respect to the optical axis Z.

[0033] The part of the aperture conductive spring 3 between the moving frame member 2 and the base 1 is designed to be bent. The advantage is that the aperture conductive spring 3 can be stretched and contracted in three directions.

[0034] The aperture conductive spring 3 includes a first anti-torsion portion 30 distributed along the first axis Y and a second anti-torsion portion 31 connected to the first anti-torsion portion 30 and distributed along the second axis X.

[0035] The first anti-torsion part 30 and the second anti-torsion part 31 respectively counteract the driving reaction forces of the first shaft and the second shaft, and while deforming, they provide stable power supply for the device.

[0036] There are at least two aperture conductive reeds 3 and they are on the same side of the outer peripheral surface of the moving frame member 2.

[0037] The two aperture conductive reeds 3 can supply power to the variable aperture mechanism and at the same time form a current loop.

[0038] At least part of the power supply circuit 10 extends to one side of the outer peripheral surface of the moving frame member 2.

[0039] The power supply circuit 10 provides power support for the internal electrical components of the device. The fact that part of the power supply circuit 10 extends to one side of the outer peripheral surface of the moving frame member 2 is more conducive to connecting the lines.

[0040] The power supply circuit 10 includes an embedded conductive member 11 connected to each aperture conductive reed 3, and the embedded conductive member 11 is embedded and fixed in the base 1.

[0041] The function of the embedded conductive member 11 is to connect the power supply circuit 10 and the aperture conductive reed 3 at different positions. At the same time, the embedded conductive member 11 can strengthen the structure of the base 1 and improve the service life of the device.

[0042] In this embodiment, the power supply circuit 10 further includes a flexible circuit board. The flexible circuit board is fixed on the outer peripheral wall of the base 1 parallel to the Z-axis direction and is located on the outer peripheral side of the moving frame member 2. The flexible circuit board is electrically connected to one end of the embedded conductive member 11 away from the aperture conductive reed 3. In other embodiments, the power supply circuit 10 includes an embedded conductive member 11, and both ends of the embedded conductive member 11 are respectively exposed at different positions on the wall of the base 1. One of the exposed ends is connected to an external circuit, and the other end is electrically connected to the aperture conductive reed 3. Or the power supply circuit 10 can also include exposed terminals and be electrically connected to one end of the embedded conductive member 11 away from the aperture conductive reed 3. Of course, the power supply circuit 10 can also be a rigid circuit board fixed on the base 1.

[0043] An external conductive terminal 32 electrically connected to the embedded conductive member 11 is provided on the aperture conductive reed 3. An internal conductive terminal 33 fixed on the top surface of the moving frame member 2 is also provided on the aperture conductive reed 3. The top surface of the moving frame member 2 is the top surface of the moving frame member 2 along the Z-axis direction.

[0044] The external conductive terminal 32 is fixedly connected to the embedded conductive member 11, and the internal conductive terminal 33 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the moving frame member 2. The electrical signal or current flows from the external conductive terminal 32 to the internal conductive terminal 33 and flows out of the external conductive terminal 32 from the internal conductive terminal 33.

[0047] The variable aperture mechanism can be arranged on the moving frame member 2 and is powered through an aperture conductive spring 3.

[0048] The first moving frame 4 and the base 1 are slidably connected through a guide shaft 20 axially distributed along the optical axis Z. The moving frame member 2 includes a second moving frame 21 and a third moving frame 22. The second moving frame 21 is axially slidably connected to the first moving frame 4 in the axial direction of the first axis Y, and the second moving frame 21 is axially slidably connected to the third moving frame 22 in the axial direction of the second axis X.

[0049] Drive mechanisms are provided on both the base 1, the first moving frame 4, and the moving frame member 2. The drive mechanism can be an electromagnetic drive mechanism. The electromagnetic drive mechanism includes a coil provided on the outer peripheral wall of the base 1, a focusing magnet provided on the first moving frame 4, and an anti-shake magnet provided on the moving frame member 2. The coil is electrically connected to a power supply circuit 10. One of the coils and the focusing magnet are arranged opposite to each other and drive the first moving frame 4 to move along the optical axis direction. There are two anti-shake magnets and each corresponds to a coil, so as to be able to drive the moving frame member 2 to perform anti-shake movement along two directions of the X and Y axes.

[0050] The three moving frames and the base 1 are slidably connected by using the guide shaft 20 therebetween to achieve the anti-shake effect and the focusing effect of the entire device.
