[0002] In mobile phone photography, the concept of aperture driving device is somewhat different from that of traditional cameras, but it is still an important component in mobile phone cameras.
[0003] The aperture driving in mobile phones is usually motorized and controlled by the system. In most cases, the opening and closing of the aperture is achieved by a small motor connected to the camera module.
[0004] The image processing algorithm in the mobile phone adjusts the size of the aperture according to the intensity of the ambient light, the shooting scene and the mode selected by the user, to achieve the best exposure and effect.
[0005] In the prior art, the stability of the blades and rotating parts in the variable aperture structure is generally achieved by magnetic attraction. However, the magnetic attraction method does not have stable fixing performance and can cause vibration under external factors, which can change the size of the aperture. At the same time, in the process of use, the system needs to use current control to keep the aperture blades stable at all times in order to keep the aperture opening and closing stable. With the passage of time and the increase of use frequency, the magnetic force of the magnetic attraction structure will gradually decrease, which will cause the stability of the blades to decrease, thereby affecting the rapid response performance of the aperture.

[0012] Further, the elastic control member is connected to a fixing ring, and the fixing ring is fixed to the aperture support.
[0013] Further, a circumferential locking mechanism is arranged between the fixing ring and the aperture support to prevent the circumferential rotation of the fixing ring relative to the aperture support.

[0040] Example 1
[0041] The control components for opening and closing the aperture use a mechanical elastic clamping method to keep several aperture blades 2 stationary in their respective positions.
[0042] Specifically, the control components include an aperture support 1 as a carrier, and several aperture blades 2 that move simultaneously relative to the aperture support 1 in a plane perpendicular to the optical axis Z. The several aperture blades 2 surround the light entrance hole and are connected to an aperture blade drive shaft 20 that drives the aperture blades 2 to move and thus change the aperture diameter of the light entrance hole.
[0043] To ensure that the aperture blades 2 are fixed relative to the aperture support 1 at different positions, such as Figures 3-4 As shown, an elastic control element 3 with several drive shaft positions 30 is designed on the aperture support 1. The elastic control element 3 is connected to a fixed ring 33. The fixed ring 33 is, for example, a circular ring, a C-shaped ring, or an arc shape, or of course, other shapes. The fixed ring 33 is fixed to the aperture support 1, and the aperture blade drive shaft 20 on any aperture blade 2 is in any drive shaft position 30.
[0044] Secondly, in this embodiment, the number of elastic control elements 3 is less than the number of aperture blades 2. Of course, the number of elastic control elements 3 can also be equal to the number of aperture blades 2.
[0045] In one implementation, since the aperture blades 2 move synchronously, only a single elastic control element 3 is designed to cooperate with a single aperture blade drive shaft 20 for control. Using a single elastic control element 3 reduces the number of components, simplifies the aperture's structural design, and helps reduce manufacturing and assembly complexity, while also lowering costs. However, the number of combinations of the above structures can be appropriately increased according to actual working conditions to meet different usage requirements and aperture adjustment flexibility. Furthermore, the design of the elastic control element 3 allows for smooth transitions between different settings.
[0046] Specifically, the elastic control component 3 is either a closed ring-shaped component or a non-closed ring-shaped component formed by metal sheet etching or other methods. The closed ring-shaped component is, for example, an approximately rectangular component. In another embodiment, this example uses a non-closed ring-shaped component, for example, a U-shaped component. This embodiment illustrates the structural characteristics of a non-enclosed annular component. The non-enclosed annular component design of the elastic control element 3 endows it with a certain adaptive elasticity. When the clamping arm 32 is subjected to external impact or vibration, its elasticity and flexibility ensure that the clamping device remains in a stable working state. The main body of the elastic control element 3 is composed of a spring clamp 31 with a pair of clamping arms 32. The clamping arms 32 have a serpentine curved structure, so the inner sides of the two opposing clamping arms 32 are respectively provided with a number of clamping grooves 320. The clamping grooves 320 on the inner side of one clamping arm 32 and the clamping grooves 320 on the inner side of the other clamping arm 32 form a number of drive shaft positions 30, so that each position corresponds to a different aperture opening, such as the first position 301, the second position 302, and the third position 303, etc. It is also possible to set only two positions or more than three positions.
[0047] In this configuration, the aperture blade drive shaft 20 is positioned in any drive shaft position 30. As shown in the figure, the distance L1 between the clamping arms 32 between the two positions is less than L2, and the inner diameter of the drive shaft position 30 is less than the outer diameter of the aperture blade drive shaft 20. When the aperture blade drive shaft 20 is in a certain drive shaft position 30, the two clamping arms 32 can restrict the movement of the aperture blade drive shaft 20, achieving the effect of a fixed aperture position. Of course, under the driving force, the aperture blade drive shaft 20 expands the pair of clamping arms 32, allowing the aperture blade drive shaft 20 to move from the first position 301 to the second position 302.
[0048] Specifically, the clamping arm 32 is elastic. When the aperture blade drive shaft 20 is not affected by external force, it will be in one of the three positions: the first position 301, the second position 302, and the third position 303. The external force cannot move the aperture blade drive shaft 20. The aperture blade drive shaft 20 can move from one position to another under the drive of the aperture drive frame 4. During the transition, the aperture blade drive shaft 20 will widen the clamping arm 32. However, due to the elastic effect, the clamping arm 32 will return to its original state after the aperture blade drive shaft 20 has completed the movement. The implementation of this design can realize a multi-stage aperture adjustment mechanism without adding too much complexity.
[0049] At the same time, such as Figure 7 As shown, in order to prevent the elastic control element 3 from rotating circumferentially relative to the aperture support 1, a circumferential locking mechanism 34 is provided between the fixed ring 33 and the aperture support 1.
[0050] The first method: Specifically, the circumferential locking mechanism 34 includes a first blocking wall 340 disposed on the aperture bracket 1, and a connecting arm 341 disposed on the fixed ring 33 in cooperation with the first blocking wall 340. The connecting arm 341 also has the function of connecting the elastic control member 3 and the fixed ring 33. In this embodiment, the connecting arm 341 and the first blocking wall 340 only restrict the elastic control member 3 from rotating in one direction, either clockwise or counterclockwise.
[0051] To prevent the elastic control element 3 from rotating in the other direction, the control assembly for opening and closing the aperture is also provided with a second blocking wall 342 and an elastic arm 35 that cooperates with the second blocking wall 342. The cooperation of the second blocking wall 342 and the elastic arm 35, as well as the cooperation of the connecting arm 341 with the first blocking wall 340, makes the elastic control element 3 completely fixed on the aperture support 1. The presence of this circumferential locking mechanism 34 ensures that there is no risk of circumferential rotation of the elastic control element 3 on the aperture support 1, making the corresponding position control of the aperture blades 2 more precise and stable, thereby improving the accuracy and consistency of aperture adjustment.
[0052] The second method: such as Figure 14 As shown, the circumferential locking mechanism 34 includes an elastic limiting part 36 that cooperates with the aperture bracket 1. The aperture bracket 1 has a limiting part entry groove 16 and a limiting part locking groove 17 that cooperate with the elastic limiting part 36. The elastic limiting part 36 is a cantilevered arc-shaped elastic limiting part. The elastic limiting part 36 can enter the limiting part locking groove 17 from the limiting part entry groove 16 without damage. The suspended end face of the elastic limiting part 36 abuts against one side of the locking groove 17, while the outer arc-shaped surface of the elastic limiting part 36 abuts against the other side of the locking groove 17. Here, one side and the other side are two oppositely distributed groove walls.
[0053] In this embodiment, the aperture support 1 is provided with a clearance groove 10 to avoid the elastic control member 3. The design of the clearance groove 10 can reduce the space occupied by the elastic control member 3 inside the aperture support 1, thereby making the overall structure more compact. The elastic control member 3 can also be set on the top surface of the aperture support 1, and the clearance groove 10 to avoid the elastic control member 3 is opened on the top surface of the aperture support 1. At the same time, when the clearance groove 10 is opened, the groove wall of the clearance groove 10 is formed as a first blocking wall 340 and a second blocking wall 342. The two opposite groove walls of the clearance groove 10 not only serve as a clearance structure (providing installation space for the elastic control member 3), but also integrate the functions of the first blocking wall 340 and the second blocking wall 342, reducing the number of parts and reducing manufacturing and assembly costs. In this design, the clearance groove 10 of the aperture support 1 not only improves the compactness of the overall structure, but also effectively integrates the various components of the aperture adjustment system.
[0054] Example 2
[0055] The structure and principle of this embodiment are basically the same as those of Embodiment 1. The difference lies in that, in relation to the control component for aperture opening and closing in Embodiment 1, the aperture driving device in this embodiment includes a control component for aperture opening and closing.
[0056] An aperture drive mechanism is a device used to control the opening and closing of aperture blades in a camera or other optical equipment. The primary function of the aperture is to regulate the amount of light entering the sensor or film, thereby affecting the exposure and depth of field of a photograph.
[0057] In automatic or semi-automatic mode, the camera's aperture drive automatically adjusts the aperture size based on feedback from the internal metering system. For example, in bright light, the drive will cause the aperture blades to close to reduce the amount of light entering the camera.
[0058] In this embodiment, the aperture blade drive shaft 20 described in Embodiment 1 is vertically inserted through the aperture bracket 1. An aperture drive frame 4, connecting all the aperture blade drive shafts 20, is disposed inside the aperture bracket 1. The aperture drive frame 4 rotates relative to the aperture bracket 1, causing all the aperture blades 2 to move in a circular motion around the optical axis Z, thereby changing the aperture size. Specifically, the aperture drive frame 4 drives the aperture blade drive shaft 20. The aperture blade drive shaft 20, positioned in the drive shaft stop 30, is fixed within a few predetermined stops due to the constraint of the elastic control member 3. In other embodiments, the aperture blade drive shaft 20 does not need to penetrate the aperture bracket 1 but is connected to the aperture drive frame 4.
[0059] As another way, such as Figure 15 As shown, the aperture blade 2 is provided with a connecting rod 22 having an aperture blade drive shaft 20. The connecting rod 22 is fixed to the aperture blade 2 by a concave-convex connection structure. For example, the concave-convex connection structure has a strip-shaped positioning hole 23 on the aperture blade 2 and a mating protrusion 24 on the connecting rod 22 that inserts into the strip-shaped positioning hole 23. Of course, the positions of the strip-shaped positioning hole 23 and the mating protrusion 24 can be interchanged. Each aperture blade 2 has two aperture blade drive shafts 20. The elastic control member 3 can clamp and limit any one aperture blade drive shaft 20 or clamp and limit multiple aperture blade drive shafts 20 simultaneously. One aperture blade drive shaft 20 on each aperture blade 2 is slidably connected to the aperture support 1 in the circumferential direction, and the other aperture blade drive shaft 20 and the aperture support 1 slide relative to each other in a direction that is angular to both the radial and circumferential directions of the aperture support 1. One of the aperture blade drive shafts 20 is connected to the aperture drive frame 4.
[0060] A sliding ball bearing 40 is also provided between the aperture drive frame 4 and the aperture support 1. The sliding ball bearing 40 is used to support the aperture drive frame 4, so that there is a certain space between the aperture drive frame 4 and the aperture support 1, and to reduce the rotational friction between the aperture drive frame 4 and the aperture support 1, thereby improving stability and reducing energy consumption.
[0061] The aperture drive frame 4 is driven by the rotary drive assembly 5, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the rotation drive assembly 5 consists of two shape memory alloy wires 50 arranged in a "V" shape. The rotation of the aperture drive frame 4 is achieved by expanding and contracting the shape memory alloy wires 50. Conductive terminals are connected to both ends of each shape memory alloy wire 50, and these terminals are connected to an external control system. In other embodiments, the rotation drive assembly 5 can also be an electromagnetic drive assembly. A magnet is placed in one of the aperture drive frame 4 and the aperture support 1, and a coil is placed in the other, opposite the magnet. Current is passed through the coil to cause the aperture drive frame 4 to rotate relative to the aperture support 1.
[0062] Specific driving principles, such as Figures 9-10 As shown, the two shape memory alloy wires 50 in the rotary drive assembly 5 are both connected to a transition ring 51 at their closer ends. Figure 6 As shown, a fixed rotating shaft 52 is also provided between the two connecting ends, connecting the transition ring 51 and the aperture support 1. Since the two shape memory alloy wires 50 are arranged in a "V" shape, each shape memory alloy wire 50 will form a torque in a different direction with the fixed rotating shaft 52. The other end of the transition ring 51 relative to the fixed rotating shaft 52 is provided with a lever 53, which is connected to the aperture drive frame 4. Due to the expansion and contraction of the two shape memory alloy wires 50, a torque is generated between them and the fixed rotating shaft 52, causing the transition ring 51 to swing around the fixed rotating shaft 52. This allows the lever 53 to drive the aperture drive frame 4 to rotate around the optical axis Z, thereby driving the aperture blades 2 to move.
[0063] The aperture blades 2 are rotatably connected to the aperture blade drive shaft 20. The aperture blades 2 are also provided with an arc-shaped guide waist hole 21. The aperture support 1 is also provided with a motion guide post 15 that cooperates with the guide waist hole 21. The motion guide post 15 is inserted into the guide waist hole 21. When the aperture blades 2 are pushed by the aperture blade drive shaft 20, several aperture blades 2 will move radially around the optical axis Z under the cooperation of the guide waist hole 21 and the motion guide post 15, thereby changing the size of the light entrance hole. In other embodiments, the motion guide post 15 can be connected to the aperture blade 2, the guide waist-shaped hole 21 is opened in the aperture support 1, and the guide post 15 is inserted in the guide waist-shaped hole 21. The control component for opening and closing the aperture can limit the motion guide post 15 in segments. In some embodiments, multiple control components for opening and closing the aperture can be set up to clamp and limit the motion guide post 15 and the aperture blade drive shaft 20 respectively. Alternatively, only one of the motion guide post 15 or the aperture blade drive shaft 20 can be clamped and limited. The motion guide post 15 is just a feature name for easy distinction in the description of this embodiment. The motion guide post 15 and the aperture blade drive shaft 20 have the same structure.
[0064] In some embodiments, the motion guide post 15 is connected to the aperture drive frame 4. In this case, the motion guide post 15 serves as the aperture blade drive shaft 20 in the above embodiment, while the original aperture blade drive shaft 20 can be fixedly connected to the aperture support 1 and rotate relative to the aperture blades 2. The control component for aperture opening and closing clamps and limits the motion guide post 15.
[0065] In this embodiment, as Figures 1-2 As shown, the aperture blades 2 are set on the top surface of the aperture support 1, and blade cover plates 11 and support cover plates 12 are also set on the top and bottom surfaces of the aperture support 1. On the top surface of the aperture support, the blade cover plate not only protects the aperture blades, but also prevents dust and moisture from entering the aperture (the same applies to the support cover plate 12), thereby ensuring the sensitivity and reliability of the aperture.
[0066] Between the aperture drive bracket 4 and the transition ring 51, and between the transition ring 51 and the rotary drive assembly 5, a first protective plate 13 and a second protective plate 14 with partial isolation function are respectively provided. The provision of the first protective plate 13 and the second protective plate 14 improves the structural strength of the aperture bracket 1 to a certain extent, while preventing the spatial independence between the various components and preventing a certain component from loosening and falling off, affecting other components and causing secondary damage.
[0067] Example 3
[0068] The structure and principle of this embodiment are basically the same as those of Embodiment 2. The difference lies in that, for the aperture driving device of Embodiment 2, the camera module of this embodiment includes an aperture driving device.
[0069] like Figure 11 As shown, a camera module is a complete photographic device, typically including multiple components such as a lens, storage medium, display screen, and control panel. Outside the camera module, there are also external housings, control interfaces, displays, memory card slots, etc., forming a complete working system capable of performing various functions such as image capture, real-time preview, storage, playback / transmission, etc., representing a more advanced application.
