Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cameras, in particular to a multi-camera module and a mobile terminal. Background Technique

[0002] With the development of science and technology and the improvement of the level of industrial application of technology, mobile terminals have become an indispensable part of people's lives, such as smart phones, smart computers, and smart TVs. While mobile terminals are popularized, users' requirements for the camera functions of mobile terminals are also getting higher and higher. For the camera functions of mobile terminals, the camera functions of single-camera modules can no longer meet the increasing camera requirements. At present, mobile terminals such as mobile phones, laptops, and tablets are emerging with new technologies that use multiple camera modules to simultaneously photograph the same object. The images separately photographed by multiple camera modules can be synthesized into three-dimensional images or compensated with each other to obtain high-definition two-dimensional images.

[0003] For example, a camera module and a mobile terminal (publication number: CN208691399U), the camera module includes a driving mechanism, a first camera, and a second camera. The driving mechanism includes a driving motor and an output shaft driven by the driving motor to rotate. The first camera includes a first carrier and a first lens unit disposed on the first carrier. The second camera includes a second carrier and a second lens unit disposed on the second carrier. Among them, the first carrier and the second carrier are spaced apart on the output shaft, and the distance between the first camera and the second camera changes with the rotation of the output shaft. Since the distance between the first camera and the second camera changes with the rotation of the output shaft, the utility model can dynamically adjust the baseline distance of the camera module, and thus can cover the far and near depth-of-field ranges, bringing more space for three-dimensional applications and significantly improving the user experience.

[0004] When the device is in use, only the distance between the first camera and the second camera can be adjusted, but the first camera and the second camera cannot be moved while keeping the distance between the first camera and the second camera unchanged. This makes the movement trajectories of the first camera and the second camera on the mobile terminal fixed, resulting in monotonous lenses, and thus reducing the user experience to a certain extent. Therefore, we need to propose a multi-camera module and a terminal. Content of the Utility Model

The tops of the two moving blocks 7 are fixedly connected to the base plate 2. By the rotation of the output end of the first driving motor 6, the threaded rod 5 fixedly connected thereto is driven to rotate, so that the two moving blocks 7 move, driving the base plate 2 fixedly connected thereto to move, and the first camera 3 and the second camera 4 can move in the same direction;

[0026] A limiting rod 8 is fixedly installed inside the base 1. The two moving blocks 7 are slidably installed on the outer wall of the limiting rod 8. The limiting rod 8 can limit the two moving blocks 7, so that the two moving blocks 7 can move when the threaded rod 5 rotates, and then drive the base plate 2 fixedly connected thereto to move;

[0027] The first camera 3 includes a first carrier 31 and a first lens unit 32 arranged on the first carrier 31. The first carrier 31 is used to install the first lens unit 32. By the movement of the first carrier 31, the first lens unit 32 can be driven to move;

[0028] The second camera 4 includes a second carrier 41 and a second lens unit 42 arranged on the second carrier 41. The second carrier 41 is used to install the second lens unit 42. By the movement of the second carrier 41, the second lens unit 42 can be driven to move;
