Therefore, "module", "component" or "unit" can be used interchangeably.

[0040] Smart terminals can be implemented in various forms. For example, the smart terminals described in this application may include smart terminals such as mobile phones, tablet computers, laptop computers, PDAs, portable media players (PMPs), navigation devices, wearable devices, smart bracelets, pedometers, etc., as well as fixed terminals such as digital TVs and desktop computers.

[0041] Some smart terminals typically have a large number of cameras. When there are two cameras, the main control board needs to have two female connector sockets connected to the cameras. When there are three cameras, the main control board needs to have three female connector sockets connected to the cameras, achieving a one-to-one connection between the cameras and the female connector sockets. As the number of female connector sockets increases, the layout space occupied by the main control board increases, affecting the layout of other electronic components on the main control board. This is especially true for flagship devices, which require numerous other functional components to be arranged on the main control board, while the space on the main control board is limited. This increases the difficulty of arranging these other functional components, hindering the miniaturization of smart terminals.

[0042] The present application provides a camera assembly and a smart terminal. By providing a first connector on the surface of a first flexible circuit board and plugging the camera into the first connector, a certain amount of layout space can be saved on the main control board of the smart terminal. This layout space can be used to arrange other functional components, reducing the layout difficulty on the main control board and contributing to the miniaturization development of the smart terminal.

[0043] The following describes a camera assembly and a smart terminal provided by an embodiment of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0044] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present application provides a camera assembly, including: a shooting auxiliary component 10 and a camera 20, the shooting auxiliary component 10 includes a first flexible circuit board 12, and a first connector 31 is provided on the surface of the first flexible circuit board 12; the camera 20 is plugged into the first connector 31, and electrical connection and signal transmission are achieved through the first flexible circuit board 12.

[0045] The present application provides a camera assembly in which a first connector 31 is provided on the surface of a first flexible circuit board 12. The camera 20 is plugged into the first connector 31. The camera 20 realizes electrical connection and signal transmission through the first flexible circuit board 12. There is no need to provide a female end socket for plugging the connector of the camera 20 on the main control board of the smart terminal. Compared with the existing structure, the space occupied by the female end socket for plugging the camera 20 on the main control board can be saved, thereby increasing the layout space for other electrical components on the main control board.

[0046] The first flexible circuit board 12 has the characteristics of high wiring density, light weight, thin thickness, and good bendability, which facilitates the installation of the first connector 31 on the surface, so that the camera 20 can be connected and removed through the first connector 31 .

[0047] In one possible implementation, the first connector 31 can be integrated on the upper surface of the first flexible circuit board 12. The number of first connectors 31 arranged on the surface of the first flexible circuit board 12 can be 1, or 2, 3 or more first connectors 31 arranged at intervals.

[0048] In one possible implementation, the number of cameras 20 can be 1, 2, 3 or more, and can be multiple cameras 20, of which 1, 2 or more cameras 20 are electrically connected to the main control board and transmit signals through the first connector 31 correspondingly connected to the surface of the first flexible circuit board 12.

[0049] In one possible implementation, the camera 20 includes a camera body 21 and a second flexible circuit board 22 connected to the camera body 21 . The second flexible circuit board 22 is connected to a second connector 32 . The camera 20 is plugged into the first connector 31 via the second connector 32 .

[0050] In one possible implementation, one of the first connector 31 and the second connector 32 is a female end socket of a connector, and the other of the first connector 31 and the second connector 32 is a male end plug of a connector. The connector is, for example, a BTB (board to board) connector.

[0051] In one possible implementation, the first connector 31 is a female receptacle of a BTB connector, and the second connector 32 is a male plug of the BTB connector; alternatively, the first connector 31 is a male plug of a BTB connector, and the second connector 32 is a female receptacle of the BTB connector. Mechanical connection and electrical conduction are achieved by mating the male plug with the female receptacle.

[0052] In one possible implementation, reference Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the camera assembly further includes a bracket 40 , the camera body 21 is disposed on the bracket 40 , and the first flexible circuit board 12 is fixed to the bracket 40 via an adhesive.

[0053] The present application sets the camera body 21 on the bracket 40, which can save space for arranging the camera body 21 on the front shell or the space for arranging the camera body 21 on the main control board, thereby facilitating the arrangement of more other functional components, improving the rationality of space utilization, and enhancing the compatibility of the stacking layout of the entire machine.

[0054] In one possible implementation, the first flexible circuit board 12 is fixed to the bracket 40 by an adhesive member, which may be a double-sided tape or other adhesive, etc. This prevents the first flexible circuit board 12 from shifting and improves the stability of the first flexible circuit board 12.

[0055] In a possible implementation, the camera body 21 may be fixed to the surface of the bracket 40 facing away from the main control board by means of threaded connection, clamping, welding, or the like.

[0056] In one possible implementation, reference Figure 1 As shown, the camera assembly further includes a reinforcement plate 50 , which is disposed on a side of the first flexible circuit board 12 facing away from the first connector 31 .

[0057] Since the first flexible circuit board 12 is an FPC board with thin thickness and low mechanical strength, it is easy to be scratched during use. In this application, the mechanical strength of the first flexible circuit board 12 and the first connector 31 can be enhanced by the reinforcement plate 50 to ensure the service life of the first flexible circuit board 12 and the first connector 31.

[0058] The reinforcing plate 50 may be a polyimide (PI) reinforcing plate, and may be adhered to the surface of the first flexible circuit board 12 facing away from the first connector 31 by gluing or thermally curing. This increases the local thickness of the first flexible circuit board 12, thereby resolving the problem of reduced local mechanical strength of the first flexible circuit board 12 caused by the provision of the first connector 31. This improves the bending resistance of the first flexible circuit board 12 and ensures the service life of the first flexible circuit board 12.

[0059] In one possible implementation, reference Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the camera assembly further includes a pressure member 60, which is disposed on the bracket 40 and is configured to press the second connector 32 toward the first connector 31. The pressure member 60 pre-compresses the second connector 32 to prevent the second connector 32 from detaching from the first connector 31. This ensures the stability of the connection between the second connector 32 and the first connector 31 under various operating conditions and prevents the second connector 32 from becoming loose.

[0060] In one possible implementation, the pressure member 60 includes a force-applying portion 61 and mounting portions 62 connected to both ends of the force-applying portion 61 . The force-applying portion 61 abuts against a side of the second connector 32 facing away from the first connector 31 , and the mounting portion 62 is detachably connected to the bracket 40 .

[0061] In a possible implementation, the pressure member 60 is an integrally formed structure. The pressure member 60 may be, for example, a metal sheet, such as a hardware steel sheet. The pressure member 60 has a strong structural strength.

[0062] In one possible implementation, the mounting portion 62 can be detachably connected to the bracket 40 via fasteners, including but not limited to screws. Alternatively, the mounting portion 62 can be detachably connected to the bracket 40 via a snap-fit ​​connection. For example, the mounting portion 62 at one end of the force-applying portion 61 is connected to the bracket 40 via a fastener, while the mounting portion 62 at the other end of the force-applying portion 61 is connected to the bracket 40 via a snap-fit ​​connection, thereby securing the pressure-applying member 60. Alternatively, the mounting portions 62 at both ends of the force-applying portion 61 can be connected to the bracket 40 via fasteners, or the mounting portions 62 at both ends of the force-applying portion 61 can be connected to the bracket 40 via a snap-fit ​​connection. The simple connection structure of the pressure-applying member 60 facilitates assembly and disassembly of the pressure-applying member 60.

[0063] In one possible implementation, the force-applying portion 61 has a force-applying surface facing the second connector 32, and the second connector 32 has a force-receiving surface facing the force-applying portion 61. The surface area of ​​the force-applying surface of the force-applying portion 61 is greater than or equal to the surface area of ​​the force-receiving surface of the second connector 32, thereby improving the uniformity of the force applied by the force-applying portion 61 to the second connector 32.

[0064] The force-applying portion 61 squeezes the second connector 32 toward the first connector 31, preventing the second connector 32 and the first connector 31 from loosening when the smart terminal falls or vibrates. In addition, the force-applying portion 61 blocks the second connector 32 and prevents the second connector 32 from moving in the direction of separating from the first connector 31, thereby helping to improve the stability of the connection between the first connector 31 and the second connector 32.

[0065] In one possible implementation, the shooting aid 10 includes a scintillator or a flash. By fully utilizing the flexible circuit board connected to the scintillator and the flash within the smart terminal, no additional flexible circuit board is required, which helps save space and optimize layout.

[0066] In one possible implementation, reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the scintillation device includes a scintillation device body 11. The scintillation device body is connected to the main control board via a flexible circuit board of the scintillation device, achieving electrical connection and signal transmission. When the first flexible circuit board 12 is a flexible circuit board of the scintillation device, one end of the first flexible circuit board 12 is connected to the scintillation device body. The other end of the first flexible circuit board 12 is provided with a third connector 70 for plugging into the main control board.

[0067] In one possible implementation (not shown), the flash includes a flash body, which is electrically connected and transmits signals to a main control board via a flexible printed circuit board. If the first flexible printed circuit board 12 is the flash's flexible printed circuit board, one end of the first flexible printed circuit board 12 is connected to the flash body, and the other end of the first flexible printed circuit board 12 is provided with a fourth connector for plugging into the main control board.

[0068] The flash is used to provide supplementary light for the camera 20 to improve the shooting quality.

[0069] The scintillation device can be a flicker detector, which is used to suppress the camera 20 from flickering during the photography process, solve the phenomenon of water ripples in the photos, and improve the quality of the photos. When used, the scintillation device detects the frequency of visible light in the environment of the photographed object, such as the frequency of visible light emitted by lights or display screens, and transmits the detected data to the main control board of the smart terminal. The main control board controls the camera 20 and the scintillation device to work together to eliminate the water ripple phenomenon in the photos.

[0070] In one possible implementation, a gasket is provided between the pressure member 60 and the second connector 32. The gasket may be an elastic gasket, such as a rubber gasket, which can prevent the second connector 32 and the first connector 31 from being crushed due to excessive pressure applied by the pressure member 60.

[0071] The present application also provides a smart terminal, comprising the above-mentioned camera assembly.

[0072] When the smart terminal provided in this application is a mobile phone, the smart terminal further comprises a middle frame, a back cover, a battery, and a display screen. The display screen is disposed on the front side of the middle frame, and the back cover is snapped onto the back side of the middle frame, forming a housing cavity between the middle frame and the back cover. The main control board, battery, and the aforementioned camera assembly are disposed within the housing cavity.

[0073] A display screen for displaying an image. Exemplarily, the display screen may be an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display screen, an active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) display screen, a mini organic light-emitting diode (MLED) display screen, a micro organic light-emitting diode (MLED) display screen, a micro organic light-emitting diode (MLED) display screen, or a quantum dot light-emitting diode (QLED) display screen.

[0074] In one possible implementation, reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the camera 20 is used to take photos / videos. The camera 20 can be a rear camera of the smart terminal, and can be a 2-megapixel rear camera, including but not limited to a wide-angle camera, a telephoto camera, and a range camera.

[0075] The present application provides a camera assembly and a smart terminal, which stack a first flexible circuit board 12, a first connector 31, and a second connector 32 connected to a camera 20 in the thickness direction of the smart terminal. Compared with the traditional flat layout of the rear camera, this saves the layout space on the main control board or the space occupied by the camera on the front shell, and improves the compatibility of the stacking layout of the whole machine, especially the layout of flagship mobile phones.

[0076] The subsequent description will be made by taking a mobile terminal as an example. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that, in addition to components specifically used for mobile purposes, the configuration according to the embodiments of the present application can also be applied to fixed-type terminals.

[0077] Please refer to Figure 6As shown in FIG, which is a schematic diagram of the hardware structure of a mobile terminal for implementing various embodiments of the present application, the mobile terminal 500 may include: an RF (Radio Frequency) unit 501, a WiFi module 502, an audio output unit 503, an A / V (audio / video) input unit 504, a sensor 505, a display unit 506, a user input unit 507, an interface unit 508, a memory 509, a processor 510, and a power supply 511. Those skilled in the art will understand that Figure 6 The structure of the mobile terminal shown in the figure does not constitute a limitation to the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal may include more or fewer components than shown in the figure, or combine certain components, or arrange the components differently.

[0078] The following combination Figure 6 A detailed introduction to each component of the mobile terminal is given below:

[0079] The RF unit 501 can be used to send and receive signals during information transmission or calls. Optionally, it receives downlink information from the base station and transmits it to the processor 510 for processing. Furthermore, it transmits uplink data to the base station. Typically, the RF unit 501 includes, but is not limited to, an antenna, at least one amplifier, a transceiver, a coupler, a low-noise amplifier, a duplexer, and more. Furthermore, the RF unit 501 can communicate with the network and other devices via wireless communication.

It provides users with wireless broadband Internet access. Figure 6 A WiFi module 502 is shown, but it is understandable that it is not an essential component of the mobile terminal and can be omitted as needed without changing the essence of the application.

[0081] The audio output unit 503 can convert audio data received by the RF unit 501 or the WiFi module 502 or stored in the memory 509 into an audio signal and output it as sound when the mobile terminal 500 is in a call signal reception mode, a call mode, a recording mode, a voice recognition mode, a broadcast reception mode, or the like. Furthermore, the audio output unit 503 can also provide audio output related to a specific function performed by the mobile terminal 500 (e.g., a call signal reception sound, a message reception sound, etc.). The audio output unit 503 may include a speaker, a buzzer, or the like.

[0082] The A / V input unit 504 is used to receive audio or video signals. The A / V input unit 504 may include a graphics processing unit (GPU) 5041 and a microphone 5042. The GPU 5041 processes image data of still images or videos captured by an image capture device (such as a camera) in video capture mode or image capture mode. The processed image frames may be displayed on the display unit 506. The image frames processed by the GPU 5041 may be stored in the memory 509 (or other storage medium) or transmitted via the RF unit 501 or the WiFi module 502. The microphone 5042 may receive sound (audio data) in operating modes such as phone call mode, recording mode, and voice recognition mode, and may process such sound into audio data. In phone call mode, the processed audio (voice) data may be converted into a format that can be transmitted to a mobile communication base station via the RF unit 501. The microphone 5042 may implement various types of noise cancellation (or suppression) algorithms to eliminate (or suppress) noise or interference generated during the reception and transmission of audio signals.

[0083] The mobile terminal 500 also includes at least one sensor 505, such as a light sensor, a motion sensor, and other sensors.

Optionally, the ambient light sensor can adjust the brightness of the display panel 5061 according to the brightness of the ambient light, and the proximity sensor can turn off the display panel 5061 and / or the backlight when the mobile terminal 500 is moved to the ear. As a type of motion sensor, the accelerometer sensor can detect the magnitude of acceleration in all directions (generally three axes), and can detect the magnitude and direction of gravity when stationary. It can be used for applications that recognize the posture of the mobile phone (such as horizontal and vertical screen switching, related games, magnetometer posture calibration), vibration recognition related functions (such as pedometer, tapping), etc.; as for other sensors that can be configured in the mobile phone, such as fingerprint sensors, pressure sensors, iris sensors, molecular sensors, gyroscopes, barometers, hygrometers, thermometers, infrared sensors, etc., they are not described here.

The touch panel 5071, also known as a touch screen, can collect user touch operations on or near it (such as operations performed by the user using a finger, stylus, or any other suitable object or accessory on or near the touch panel 5071) and drive the corresponding connection device according to a pre-set program. The touch panel 5071 may include two parts: a touch detection device and a touch controller. Optionally, the touch detection device detects the user's touch direction and detects the signal generated by the touch operation, and transmits the signal to the touch controller; the touch controller receives the touch information from the touch detection device and converts it into touch point coordinates, which are then sent to the processor 510. It can also receive commands sent by the processor 510 and execute them. In addition, the touch panel 5071 can be implemented using various types such as resistive, capacitive, infrared, and surface acoustic wave. In addition to the touch panel 5071, the user input unit 507 may further include other input devices 5072. Optionally, the other input devices 5072 may include, but are not limited to, one or more of a physical keyboard, function keys (such as a volume control button, a power button, etc.), a trackball, a mouse, a joystick, etc., and the specifics are not limited here.

[0086] Optionally, the touch panel 5071 may cover the display panel 5061. When the touch panel 5071 detects a touch operation on or near it, it transmits the information to the processor 510 to determine the type of touch event. Subsequently, the processor 510 provides corresponding visual output on the display panel 5061 according to the type of touch event. Figure 6 In the figure, the touch panel 5071 and the display panel 5061 are two independent components to realize the input and output functions of the mobile terminal. However, in some embodiments, the touch panel 5071 and the display panel 5061 can be integrated to realize the input and output functions of the mobile terminal, which is not limited here.

[0088] Memory 509 can be used to store software programs and various data. Memory 509 may primarily include a program storage area and a data storage area. Optionally, the program storage area may store an operating system and at least one application required for a function (such as a sound playback function or an image playback function); the data storage area may store data generated based on the use of the mobile phone (such as audio data, a phone book, etc.). Furthermore, memory 509 may include high-speed random access memory and non-volatile memory, such as at least one disk storage device, flash memory device, or other volatile solid-state storage device.

[0089] Processor 510 is the control center of the mobile terminal, connecting various components of the mobile terminal using various interfaces and circuits. By running or executing software programs and / or modules stored in memory 509 and accessing data stored in memory 509, it executes various functions of the mobile terminal and processes data, thereby providing overall monitoring of the mobile terminal. Processor 510 may include one or at least one processing unit; preferably, processor 510 may integrate an application processor and a modem processor. Optionally, the application processor primarily processes the operating system, user interface, and application programs, while the modem processor primarily handles wireless communications. It is understood that the modem processor may not be integrated into processor 510.

[0090] The mobile terminal 500 may also include a power supply 511 (such as a battery) for supplying power to various components. Preferably, the power supply 511 may be logically connected to the processor 510 through a power management system, thereby managing functions such as charging, discharging, and power consumption through the power management system.

[0091] although Figure 6 Not shown, the mobile terminal 500 may further include a Bluetooth module, etc., which will not be described in detail here.
