Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of communication equipment, and in particular to a camera module and electronic equipment. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous advancement of technology, consumers have increasingly higher requirements for the image quality of mobile phone cameras. Consumers also require functions such as optical image stabilization and zoom on mobile phone cameras. For example, periscope cameras use optical components such as prisms to convert external light into a horizontal beam. The horizontal beam is then projected into a horizontally set lens for imaging, which can achieve optical image stabilization and zoom. Periscope cameras can usually adjust the focal length. However, in actual use, when the telephoto lens is not powered on, it can move freely in the direction of the optical path inside the camera module as the whole body moves. During the shaking process, the telephoto lens will hit the inner wall of the camera module housing, making unusual noises and affecting the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0003] The present application provides a camera module and an electronic device, wherein the camera module can reduce the abnormal noise caused by the lens hitting the inner wall of the camera module housing during shaking.

[0005] The protective member is made of elastic material, and includes a main body and a protective protrusion protruding from the surface of the main body, the protective protrusion has an arc-shaped protective surface, the protective member is connected to the first wall surface and the second wall surface, along the optical axis direction of the lens assembly, the protective member on the first wall surface and the protective member on the second wall surface are spaced opposite to each other, the lens assembly is accommodated in the second groove, the lens carrier is located between the protective member on the first wall surface and the protective member on the second wall surface, the arc-shaped protective surfaces of the protective protrusions of the protective member are all facing the end face of the lens carrier, and are spaced opposite to the end face; the lens assembly can move between the first wall surface and the second wall surface along the optical axis direction, and the arc-shaped protective surface of the protective protrusion can elastically abut the end face of the lens carrier.

[0006] In this embodiment, the protective part is made of elastic material and is provided with a protective protrusion. The electronic device uses the camera module of this embodiment. When the camera module is not powered on, as the electronic device moves as a whole, the lens module of the camera module can swing freely in the direction of the optical path, and in the process of swinging, it will move toward the first wall and the second wall of the second groove. The arc-shaped protective surface of the protective protrusion will abut the end face of the lens carrier to prevent the lens carrier from directly colliding with the first wall and the second wall, thereby buffering the impact force between the lens module and the base and reducing abnormal noise inside the camera module. Moreover, the protective surface of the protective protrusion in this embodiment is in point and surface contact with the end face of the lens carrier, which can reduce the contact area and achieve isolated impact, and can further reduce the abnormal noise inside the camera module.

The lens carrier slides relative to the second slide groove via the second sliding unit. In this embodiment, the lens group is a periscope lens, which is driven to move by the drive unit.

[0013] In one embodiment, the first sliding portion includes a first groove and a ball provided on the anti-shake carrier, and the ball of the first sliding portion is located in the first groove and the first sliding groove;

[0014] The second sliding portion includes a second groove and a ball provided on the lens carrier, and the ball of the second sliding portion is located in the second groove and the second sliding slot.

[0040] Please also refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 , Figure 8 for Figure 4 The schematic diagram of the structure of the protective member shown in FIG. Figure 9 for Figure 8 The schematic plan view of the protective member shown. The protective member 20 is made of an elastic material such as rubber. The protective member 20 includes a main body 21 and a protective protrusion 22. The main body 21 is a rectangular sheet, and the protective protrusion 22 is protruded from the surface of the main body 21. The protective protrusion 22 is a spherical, hemispherical or arc-shaped protrusion, and the protective protrusion 22 is integrally formed with the main body 21. The protective protrusion 22 includes an arc-shaped protective surface 221, and the arc-shaped protective surface 221 faces away from the main body 21. The protective protrusion 22 has elastic deformation capability, and the protective protrusion 22 has a certain flexibility. For example, the protective protrusion 22 made of rubber is flexible and not too hard.

[0041] In one embodiment, there are multiple protective protrusions 22, and the multiple protective protrusions 22 are arranged in an array. For example, along the length of the body 21, there are multiple rows of protective protrusions 22, each row having at least two protective protrusions 22; along the width of the body 21, there are at least two columns of protective protrusions 22, each column having multiple protective protrusions 22; along the length of the base 10, that is, along the optical axis of the lens assembly 40.

[0051] The second bottom surface 413 is provided with a second groove. The second sliding portion of the lens assembly 40 includes a second groove 44 and balls 45. The number and position of the second grooves 44 and balls 45 correspond to the number and position of the second sub-slots. When the lens carrier 41 is installed in the second groove 162, the second grooves 44 and the second sub-slots face each other, and the balls 45 are located within the second grooves 44 and the second sub-slots. The balls 45 can slide along the length of the second sub-slots and the second grooves 44, thereby driving the lens carrier 41 to slide. The driving portion includes two second driving bodies 46 and two second coils 47. The two second driving bodies 46 are connected to the two second outer surfaces 412 of the lens carrier 41, and the two second coils 47 face each other. When the lens carrier 41 is installed in the second groove 162, the two second coils 47 are located within the second mounting groove 119. The second driving bodies 46 corresponding to the second coils 47 can be fully or partially located in the second mounting groove 119. The two second coils 47 are electrically connected to the circuit board 60 located outside the base 10. When energized, the second coil 47 generates a magnetic field with the second driver 46, pushing the lens carrier 41 along the optical path of the lens assembly 42 to achieve focusing. The positioning member 43 is used to secure the lens assembly 42 to the lens carrier 41. The light-emitting side of the lens assembly 42 faces the light-emitting surface of the prism 32 of the anti-shake assembly 30. The chip 50 is located at the opening 14 and is electrically connected to the circuit board 60.

[0052] The cover plate 80 includes a window 81. The cover plate 80 is mounted on the base 10 and covers the anti-shake assembly 30 and the lens assembly 40. The window 81 is opposite the prism 32 of the anti-shake assembly 30. Light passes through the window 81 and enters the prism 32 before entering the lens assembly 42. The housing 70 is mounted on the outside of the base 10, securing the cover plate 80 and the base 10 and covering the circuit board 60 and the chip 50. The camera module 100 is used in electronic devices such as mobile phones. During movement, the lens assembly will shake along the optical axis. The two end surfaces 415 of the lens carrier 41 will contact the protective surface 221 of the protective protrusion 22 of the protective member 20, forming a point-to-surface contact. The protective protrusion 22 has a certain degree of elasticity, which can cushion the impact force of the base 10 on the lens assembly 40 and reduce the abnormal sound caused by the impact of the camera module 100. In existing camera modules, the impact surface between the lens and the base 10 is flat, and the large contact area can cause damage to the lens. The protective member 20 of the present application utilizes multiple protective protrusions 22 with curved surfaces to contact the lens carrier 41, forming a point array and surface contact. This not only ensures the impact support range, but also minimizes the effective impact area due to the point-shaped protective protrusions 22, effectively reducing the abnormal sound after the lens assembly 40 impacts the base 10. Furthermore, the stability of the lens carrier 41 after the impact is maintained, reducing the chance of damage and displacement of the lens assembly 40.
