DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0037] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0038] The directional nouns involved in the embodiments of the present application, such as "upper", "lower", "side", etc., are generally represented by Figure 1 The relative relationship of the orientation shown in the figure is used as the basis, and these orientation terms are used only to more clearly describe the relationship between structures, not to describe absolute orientation. When the product is placed in different postures, the orientation may change, for example, "up" and "down" may be interchangeable.

[0039] Unless otherwise defined, all technical terms used in the embodiments of the present application have the same meanings as those generally understood by those of ordinary skill in the art. Some technical terms appearing in the embodiments of the present application are explained below.

[0040] In order to make the technical solutions and advantages of the present application more clear, the implementation methods of the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0041] At present, in order to avoid magnetic interference between multiple camera modules, the spacing between multiple camera modules of an electronic device is relatively large, which not only affects the appearance of the electronic device, but also occupies a large space, affecting the space utilization of the entire device.

[0042] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present application provides a camera device, such as Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the camera device provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a first camera module 1, a second camera module 2 and a magnetic member 3.

[0043] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first camera module 1 has a first coil 11; the second camera module 2 is adjacent to the first camera module 1, and the second camera module 2 has a second coil 21, and the first coil 11 and the second coil 21 are opposite to each other.

[0044] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the magnetic member 3 is located between the first coil 11 and the second coil 21 , and the magnetic member 3 is spaced apart from the first coil 11 and the second coil 21 , respectively. The magnetic member 3 is used for magnetically coupling with the first coil 11 and the second coil 21 , respectively.

[0045] Since the first camera module 1 and the second camera module 2 share the same magnetic component 3, the magnetic component 3 can be magnetically coupled with the coils in two adjacent camera modules respectively. Therefore, the distance between the first camera module 1 and the second camera module 2 can be greatly reduced, thereby reducing the space occupied by the first camera module 1 and the second camera module 2, and effectively improving the space utilization rate of the camera device.

[0046] Among them, the first camera module 1 and the second camera module 2 both include a lens and a driving structure. When the first coil 11 or the second coil 21 is energized, the current in the first coil 11 or the second coil 21 generates a magnetic field, which is magnetically coupled with the magnetic part 3, thereby generating a Lorentz force on the first coil 11 or the second coil 21, so that the first coil 11 drives the lens of the first camera module 1 to move, or the second coil 21 drives the lens of the second camera module 2 to move, thereby realizing functions such as zoom and anti-shake.

[0047] The camera device provided in the embodiment of the present application arranges the magnetic part 3 between the first coil 11 and the second coil 21 so that the magnetic part 3 can be magnetically coupled with the first coil 11 and the second coil 21 respectively, that is, the first camera module 1 and the second camera module 2 share the same magnetic part 3, thereby reducing the number of magnetic parts 3 in the camera device, which helps to reduce the influence of magnetic interference; reduces the weight of the camera device and the electronic equipment, which helps to achieve lightweight design; reduces the spacing between the camera modules, saves space, and improves the space utilization of the camera device and the electronic equipment; is conducive to the alignment of the optical axis, while reducing the blind spot of the field of view, which helps to improve the performance of the camera device.

[0048] Optionally, the magnetic member 3 is installed between the first camera module 1 and the second camera module 2 using a supporting structure such as a bracket, and the magnetic member 3 is spaced apart from the first camera module 1 and the second camera module 2 respectively.

[0049] Alternatively, in a further embodiment, the magnetic member 3 is mounted on the first camera module 1 and / or the second camera module 2. Through this arrangement, the distance between the first camera module 1 and the second camera module 2 is further reduced, saving space.

[0050] For example, the magnetic component 3 is installed in the first camera module 1, and the magnetic component 3 is spaced apart from the second camera module 2; or, the magnetic component 3 is installed in the second camera module 2, and the magnetic component 3 is spaced apart from the first camera module 1; or, the magnetic component 3 is installed in both the first camera module 1 and the second camera module 2, that is, a part of the magnetic component 3 is installed in the first camera module 1, and the other part is installed in the second camera module 2.

[0051] In a specific embodiment, the first camera module 1 includes a first shell 12 , and the magnetic component 3 is at least partially fixed on the first shell 12 .

[0052] Exemplarily, the first camera module 1 is a main camera module, such as Figure 4 As shown, the first camera module 1 also includes a main camera lens 124 , a main camera carrier 125 , a main camera circuit board 126 , a main camera base 127 and a main camera image sensor 128 .

[0053] Specifically, components such as the main camera lens 124 and the main camera carrier 125 are arranged in the first shell 12, the main camera image sensor 128 is arranged on the main camera circuit board 126, the main camera base 127 is installed above the main camera circuit board 126, the main camera lens 124 is installed on the main camera carrier 125, and the main camera carrier 125 is connected above the main camera base 127, and the first coil 11 is arranged on the main camera carrier 125.

[0054] The magnetic part 3 can be fixed as a whole on the first shell 12. For example, the magnetic part 3 is fixed on the first shell 12 by bonding, clamping, etc., and is spaced apart from the second camera module 2. The magnetic part 3 can also be partially fixed on the first shell 12, and the other part is fixed on the second camera module 2, so as to reduce the spacing distance between the first camera module 1 and the second camera module 2.

[0055] In a specific embodiment, the second camera module 2 includes a second shell 22 , and a portion of the magnetic member 3 is fixed to the first shell 12 , and another portion is fixed to the second shell 22 .

[0056] In this embodiment, by fixing the magnetic part 3 on the first shell 12 and the second shell 22 respectively, it not only helps to reduce the distance between the first camera module 1 and the second camera module 2, saving space and improving space utilization, but also eliminates the need for a fixed bracket between the first camera module 1 and the second camera module 2, which helps to reduce the relative movement therebetween, facilitates optical axis alignment, and reduces the blind spot of the field of view of the camera device, which is beneficial to depth calculation and image fusion.

[0057] Exemplarily, the second camera module 2 is a telephoto module, such as Figure 5 As shown, the second camera module 2 also includes a telephoto lens (not shown in the figure), a telephoto prism 224, a telephoto lens barrel 225, a telephoto circuit board 226, a telephoto base 227 and a telephoto image sensor 228.

[0059] In a specific embodiment, Figure 6 As shown, the first housing 12 defines a first installation slot 121 , and the magnetic member 3 is at least partially embedded in the first installation slot 121 .

[0060] The first installation groove 121 may not pass through the side wall of the first shell 12, and the first installation groove 121 may also be a through groove passing through the side wall of the first shell 12. The magnetic component 3 is installed through the first installation groove 121, which has a simple structure and is easy to process, and can improve the production efficiency of the camera device.

[0061] The size and shape of the first installation groove 121 match the size and shape of the magnetic member 3, so that the magnetic member 3 can be firmly embedded in the first installation groove 121. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the magnetic member 3 and the first installation slot 121 are both rectangular in shape.

[0062] Exemplarily, the magnetic component 3 is fixed in the first mounting groove 121 by glue dispensing, thereby improving the connection stability between the magnetic component 3 and the first housing 12 .

[0063] In a further embodiment, Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, the second camera module 2 includes a second housing 22 , and the second housing 22 is provided with a second mounting groove 221 arranged opposite to the first mounting groove 121 . A portion of the magnetic member 3 is embedded in the first mounting groove 121 , and another portion is embedded in the second mounting groove 221 .

[0064] The second mounting groove 221 may not pass through the side wall of the second shell 22, and the second mounting groove 221 may also be a through groove passing through the side wall of the second shell 22. By respectively installing the magnetic part 3 in the first mounting groove 121 and the second mounting groove 221, it not only helps to reduce the distance between the first camera module 1 and the second camera module 2, saves space and improves space utilization, but also integrates the first camera module 1 and the second camera module 2 together, eliminating the fixed bracket between the first camera module 1 and the second camera module 2, helps to reduce the relative movement between the two, is beneficial to the alignment of the optical axis, and at the same time reduces the blind spot of the field of view of the camera device, which is beneficial to depth calculation and image fusion.

[0065] The size and shape of the second installation groove 221 match the size and shape of the magnetic member 3, so that the magnetic member 3 can be firmly embedded in the second installation groove 221. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, the magnetic member 3 and the second mounting groove 221 are both in the shape of long strips, and the first mounting groove 121 and the second mounting groove 221 are respectively located on both sides of the magnetic member 3 in the thickness direction.

[0066] Exemplarily, the magnetic component 3 is fixed in the second mounting groove 221 by glue dispensing, thereby improving the connection stability between the magnetic component 3 and the second housing 22 .

[0067] In a specific embodiment, Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the first housing 12 and the second housing 22 are in abutment with each other.

[0068] Exemplarily, the side wall of the first shell 12 and the side wall of the second shell 22 are respectively provided with protrusions, and the protrusions of the first shell 12 and the protrusions of the second shell 22 are abutted against each other and define a space for accommodating the magnetic member 3 .

[0070] In this embodiment, the first camera module 1 and the second camera module 2 are integrated together by setting the first shell 12 and the second shell 22 to abut each other, which not only saves space and improves space utilization, but also eliminates the need for a fixed bracket between the first camera module 1 and the second camera module 2, helps to reduce the relative movement therebetween, facilitates optical axis alignment, and reduces the blind spot of the field of view of the camera device, which is beneficial to depth calculation and image fusion.

[0071] In a specific embodiment, Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the first shell 12 includes a first upper cover 122 and a first base 123, and the first upper cover 122 is covered on the outside of the first base 123; the second shell 22 includes a second upper cover 222 and a second base 223, and the second upper cover 222 is covered on the outside of the second base 223; the first upper cover 122 and the second upper cover 222 are abutted.
