[0027] Refer to Figure 1 , which is a schematic diagram of an image acquisition module. Refer to Figure 2 , which is an exploded view schematic diagram of the image acquisition module. Combining Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the image acquisition module includes:

[0028] A decorative member 1 having a through hole 101.

[0029] A body 2 including a base 201 and a lens assembly 202 located on the base 201; wherein, a connection end 2022 of the lens assembly 202 is connected to the base 201, a light incident end 2021 of the lens assembly 202 is located in the through hole 101, and there is a gap L between an inner wall 1011 of the through hole 101 and an outer side wall 20211 of the light incident end 2021; the light incident end 2021 is opposite to the connection end 2022.

[0030] A shielding member 3 located between the inner wall 1011 and the outer side wall 20211, and configured to shield the outer side wall 20211 and / or the base 201 in a direction from the light incident end 2021 to the connection end 2022; wherein, the color of the shielding member 3 is the same as the color of the surface of the light incident end 2021.

[0031] A transparent cover plate 4, aligned with the through hole 101 and covering the through hole 101; wherein, a viewing window is provided on the transparent cover plate 4, and the size of the viewing window is the same as that of the through hole 101.

[0032] The decorative member 1 can be used as a decorative and protective component of the image acquisition module. The shape, size, material, color, etc. of the decorative member 1 can be determined according to the usage requirements. After being assembled on the electronic device, the main body 2 is located inside the electronic device, and the decorative member 1 can be located on the surface of the electronic device and be exposed outside the electronic device.

[0033] The main body 2 serves as the main body of the image acquisition module. The main body 2 includes a base 201 and a lens assembly 202 located on the base 201. The base 201 and the lens assembly 202 are adapted to each other. The lens assembly 202 may include a plurality of optical lenses. The base 201 serves as the fixing part of the lens assembly 202 for fixing the lens assembly 202. The base 201 may further include a control component for controlling the image acquisition module, and the base 201 can be fixed inside the electronic device, such as on the middle frame or the main board of the electronic device, etc.

[0034] The size, shape, etc. of the base 201 can be determined according to the requirements. The bases 201 and the lens assemblies 202 for different image acquisitions may be different. Exemplarily, the base 201 may include components such as an image sensor, a circuit board, a flash, a focusing motor, an anti-shake device, a digital signal processing chip (Digital Signal Processing, DSP), a holder, and / or a filter.

[0035] The shape, parameters, size, etc. of the lens assembly 202 can be determined according to the requirements. Exemplarily, the outer contour of the lens assembly 202 is a cylinder.

[0036] The lens assembly 202 is fixed on the base 201. The lens assembly 202 includes an opposite light incident end 2021 and a connection end 2022. The light incident end 2021 serves as the end for the lens group 202 to receive light, and the light incident surface of the lens assembly 202 is located at the light incident end 2021. The connection end 2022 is used to connect with the base 201, and the connection method between the connection end 2022 and the base 201 is not limited and can be determined according to the usage requirements, such as screw connection and snap connection, etc.

[0037] Exemplarily, the outer side wall of the connection end 2022 has a first thread, and the base 201 has a second thread, and the first thread and the second thread are engaged.

[0038] The connection end 2022 is connected to the base 201. The light incident end 2021 of the lens assembly 202 is located within the through hole 101. The inner diameter of the through hole 101 is larger than the outer diameter of the light incident end 2021. There is a gap between the inner wall 1011 of the through hole 101 and the outer side wall 20211 of the light incident end 2021. The light incident end 2021 is opposite to the connection end 2022.

[0039] The shielding member 3 is located between the inner wall 1011 of the through hole 101 and the outer side wall 20211 of the light incident end 2021, and is used to shield the outer side wall 20211 and / or the base 201 in the direction from the light incident end 2021 to the connection end 2022. The color of the shielding member 3 is the same as the color of the surface of the light incident end 2021.

[0040] The shape, size, structure, material, color, etc. of the shielding member 3 are not limited and can be determined according to requirements.

[0041] Exemplarily, the shielding member 3 is sleeved on the lens assembly, the shielding member 3 abuts or fits against the outer side wall of the lens assembly 202, and the shielding member 3 abuts against the decorative member 1. In this way, the shielding member 3 can shield the base 201, the lens assembly 202 and / or other components in the body 2 between the inner wall 1011 of the through hole 101 and the outer side wall 20211 of the light incident end 2021, reducing the part that can be exposed through the through hole 101, and the shielding member 3 is exposed through the through hole 101.

[0042] The transparent cover plate 4 is aligned with the through hole 101 and covers the through hole 101. The transparent cover plate 4 has a viewing window 401 (refer to Figure 4 ), and the size of the viewing window is the same as the size of the through hole 101. The viewing window here is a viewing window that matches the field of view (FOV) of the image acquisition module. The field of view is positively correlated with the size of the viewing window. The larger the field of view, the larger the viewing window, and the smaller the field of view, the smaller the viewing window.

[0043] Exemplarily, the viewing window is circular.

[0044] The transparent cover plate 4 can be made of glass, plastic, or other materials, as long as it has a light transmission effect. The outer diameter of the transparent cover plate 4 is larger than the inner diameter of the through hole, which can facilitate the transparent cover plate 4 to cover the through hole, thereby protecting the lens assembly 202.

[0045] As Figure 3As shown in the figure, it is a schematic diagram of another image acquisition module, and this image acquisition module does not include an occlusion member. Since the inner diameter of the through hole 101 in the decorative member 1 is greater than the outer diameter of the light incident end 2021 in the lens assembly 202, there is a gap between the inner wall 1011 of the through hole 101 and the outer side wall 20211 of the light incident end 2021 in the lens assembly 202, which will cause the outer side wall 20211 of the light incident end 2021 in the lens assembly 202 and / or the base 201 to be exposed through the through hole 101.

[0046] Reference Figure 4 , is Figure 3 a schematic diagram of another perspective of the image acquisition module shown in the figure, which can be a view from the direction of the light incident end 2021 to the connection end 2022, that is, the front view of the image acquisition component. The size of the window in the transparent cover plate 4 is limited, and the light incident end 2021 can be exposed through the window. The color of the light incident end 2021 is inconsistent with the color of the outer side wall 20211 of the light incident end 2021 in the lens assembly 202 and / or the base 201, resulting in an annular ring A of another color appearing around the light incident surface. The models, sizes, etc. of the lens assemblies 202 of different image acquisition modules are different, and the sizes of the windows on the transparent cover plates are also different, so it causes Figure 4 the sizes of the annular rings A in

[0047] to be different. When there are multiple different image acquisition modules in the electronic device, the sizes of the windows in different image acquisition modules are different, resulting in an uncoordinated situation, affecting the delicacy of the electronic device, and thus affecting the user experience.

[0048] Through the occlusion member 3 in this solution, the color of the light incident end 2021 in the lens assembly can be made consistent with the color of the occlusion member 3. Since the occlusion member 3 is located between the outer side wall 20211 of the light incident end 2021 and the inner wall 1011 of the through hole 101, the light incident end 2021 and the occlusion member 3 can be exposed. In this way, the colors of the light incident end 2021 and the occlusion member 3 exposed through the through hole 101 and the transparent cover plate 4 are consistent, and other areas such as the connection end 2022 and / or the base 201 will not be exposed through the through hole, and the size of the window of the transparent cover plate 4 is the same as the size of the through hole 101.

[0048] With this structure, the lens window in the transparent cover plate 4 can be adjusted to be the same size as the through hole 101. Among multiple different image acquisition modules, it is convenient to adjust the lens windows on the transparent cover plates 4 in different image acquisition modules to be the same, reducing the size difference of the lens windows on the transparent cover plates caused by different field angles of view of the lens assemblies, thereby reducing the uncoordinated situation between each image acquisition module and improving the user experience.

[0049] In one embodiment, the inner contour of the shielding member 3 matches the outer contour of the lens assembly 202, so that the shielding member 3 can fit against the outer contour of the lens assembly 202, which helps the shielding member 3 to contact the lens assembly 202, thereby reducing the situation where the gap between the shielding member 3 and the lens assembly 202 affects the shielding of the outer wall of the lens assembly 202 and / or the base 201, and facilitating the consistency of the colors of the components exposed through the through hole 101 and the transparent cover plate 4.

[0050] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of a shielding member. Combining Figure 3 and Figure 5 , the shielding member 3 includes:

[0051] A shielding body 301 that contacts the light incident end 2021.

[0052] A fixing body 302 that is connected to the shielding body 301 and is used to fix the shielding body 301.

[0053] The shape of the shielding body 301 is not limited, as long as it can contact the light incident end 2021 and can shield the outer wall 20211 of the lens assembly 202 and / or the base 201. Figure 5 shows a schematic diagram of a shielding body 301. The fixing body 302 is used to fix the shielding body 301, and it only needs to be able to connect to the shielding body 301 and be used to fix the shielding body 301.

[0054] Exemplarily, the way the fixing body 302 fixes the shielding body 301 is not limited, and the fixing position of the fixing body 302 is not limited. For example, the fixing body 302 is fixed between the decorative member 1 and the base 201, as Figure 1 shown; or, the fixing body 302 is fixed on the decorative member 1; or, the fixing body 302 is fixed on the base 201; or, the fixing body 302 is fixed on the outer wall of the lens assembly 202.

[0055] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 6 , is a schematic diagram of a body, referring to Figure 7 , is a schematic diagram of the positional relationship between a shielding member and a lens assembly. Combining Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the shielding member 3 abuts against the outer wall of the light incident end 2021.

[0056] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 6 , the light incident end 2021 includes a first surface 20212 facing away from the base 201, and the shielding body 301 abuts against the edge where the first surface 20212 intersects with the outer wall 20211.

[0057] In one embodiment, the shielding member 3 can be a component formed of an elastic material, such as rubber, foam, sponge, and elastic plastics, etc. This can reduce the impact of the shielding member 3 on the lens assembly 202.

[0058] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 1 , the decorative member 1 further includes:

[0059] A groove, the through hole 101 communicates with the bottom of the groove, and the inner diameter of the through hole 101 is smaller than the inner diameter of the groove. The transparent cover plate 4 is located in the groove for protecting the lens assembly 202. The position where the transparent cover plate 4 is located is the groove.

[0060] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 It further includes:

[0061] A connection layer 5, located at the position where the groove and the transparent cover plate 4 are connected, for fixing the transparent cover plate 4 on the decorative member 1. The connection layer 5 can be a coating with a fixing function, such as a glue layer, including an adhesive layer. The connection layer 5 can improve the fixing effect of the transparent cover plate 4 and reduce the situation where the transparent cover plate 4 falls off due to the separation of the transparent cover plate 4 from the decorative member 1.

[0062] In one embodiment, there is also provided an electronic device, including:

[0063] The image acquisition module in any of the above embodiments, and the number of image acquisition modules is multiple; in different image acquisition modules, the sizes of the through holes 101 on the decorative member 1 are the same. This can make the window sizes of the transparent cover plates 4 in each image acquisition the same, and the colors of the shielding member 3 and the light incident end 2021 revealed through the through hole 101 and the transparent cover plate 4 are the same, reducing the difference in window sizes caused by different parameters and models of the lens assemblies, reducing the differences in the windows in each image acquisition module, and improving the user experience.

[0064] Exemplarily, in different image acquisition modules, the colors of the shielding member 3 are the same, the colors of the lens assemblies 202 are the same, and at least the colors of the light incident ends 2021 are the same. This can make the colors of the components revealed through the through holes 101 and the transparent cover plates 4 in the respective decorative members 1 of each image acquisition module the same, reducing the differences between each image acquisition module and improving the user experience.

[0065] In one embodiment, the current mobile phone image capture module includes multiple ones. For example, the rear camera module has a configuration of three or more. In some Industrial Design (ID) shapes, each rear camera module will have a corresponding lens. The window size of the lens is often designed according to the FOV size of the camera module to meet the performance requirements. Usually, the FOVs of the camera modules are often different. Therefore, when the window sizes of the three rear camera lenses are inconsistent, it will bring visual disharmony to the user and affect the delicacy of the appearance.

[0066] The existing window size of the rear camera lens is determined according to the FOV of the camera module, and its design scheme is often as Figure 3 shown. Figure 3 In [the figure], the window size of the transparent cover plate (including the lens) needs to be determined according to the FOV of the camera module, and its front view is as Figure 4 shown.

[0067] As Figure 4 shown, 2021 is the rear camera module, and 401 is the window boundary of the lens. The window size needs to meet two points. First, it cannot block the FOV angle to meet the performance of the camera module. Second, the window size cannot expose the petal part of the module, otherwise it will cause the appearance to be abrupt. Therefore, in the related solutions, it is impossible to achieve an equal visual design for the windows of the lenses corresponding to different modules.

[0068] As described in the related solutions above, when there are multiple lenses in the whole machine, this solution cannot achieve an equal visual design for the windows of multiple lenses.

[0069] The solution of this embodiment includes a decorative part 1, a body 2 (including a rear camera), a shielding part 3 (including a silicone ring), a transparent cover plate 4 (including a lens), and a connection layer 5 (including a back glue). The back glue plays a role in fixing the decorative part and the lens. The silicone ring is made into a profiling structure according to the outer side wall of the rear camera module and is assembled and attached to the side wall of the module. It should be emphasized that the color of the silicone ring is the same as the color of the camera module. Through this silicone ring, the petal part of the camera module can be shielded, and the visual effect is integrated. Therefore, the window size of the lens can be adjusted.

[0070] Comparing Figure 1 and Figure 2 's structures, through the silicone ring, it is possible to shield the petal part of the camera module without blocking the FOV angle, and by making the color of the silicone ring the same as that of the module, the visual color difference in appearance is eliminated, and thus the window size of the lens is enlarged.

[0071] Under the multi-lens styling, the sizes of the lens windows are made consistent to achieve equal visual design and improve the appearance delicacy. By adding a silicone ring with the same color as the appearance of the camera module to cover the petal part of the module, the size of the lens window is enlarged, thus realizing the equal visual design of the multi-lens windows.

[0072] Those skilled in the art will readily conceive of other embodiments of the present disclosure after considering the specification and practicing the utility model disclosed herein.

[0073] It should be understood that the present disclosure is not limited to the exact structures described above and shown in the drawings, and various modifications and changes can be made without departing from its scope. The scope of the present disclosure is only limited by the appended claims.
