Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of cameras, specifically relating to a camera module and electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of technology, electronic devices have become common tools in people's daily lives. Electronic devices enable remote communication, image capture, and video viewing. Typically, electronic devices include a camera module that captures images, which are then displayed on the device's screen. In related technologies, the camera module includes a lens, a housing, and a moving part. The moving part is located within the housing and is connected to the lens. Movement of the moving part moves the lens, enabling the camera module to focus and adjust the focal length, thereby improving the image quality. However, in these technologies, during the movement of the moving part, it may bump against the inner wall of the housing, causing abnormal noise from the camera module. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this application is to provide a camera module and electronic device that at least solves the problem that the moving part may hit the inner wall of the housing during the movement of the moving part, thereby causing abnormal noise in the camera module.

[0004] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a camera module, the camera module comprising: a housing, a movable component, and a buffer component;

[0005] The movable component is disposed in the housing, and the movable component is movable relative to the housing along a first direction;

[0006] In the first direction, the buffer assembly is disposed between the moving assembly and the inner wall of the housing.

[0007] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide an electronic device, which includes a device body and a camera module as described in any one of the first aspects above;

[0008] The camera module is installed on the main body of the device.

[0009] In this embodiment, since the movable component is disposed within the housing and is movable relative to the housing along a first direction, the lens of the camera module can be connected to the movable component. Thus, during the movement of the movable component, it can drive the lens to move, allowing the camera module to adjust its focus or focus, thereby improving the shooting effect of the camera module. Because the buffer component is disposed between the movable component and the inner wall of the housing in the first direction, during the movement of the movable component, the lens moves along with it. Before hitting the inner wall of the housing, the movable component first contacts the buffer component, causing it to deform. Then, the movable component drives the buffer component to contact the inner wall of the housing, preventing the movable component from directly impacting the inner wall and causing significant noise. In other words, in this embodiment of the application, by setting a buffer component in the moving direction of the moving component, and the buffer component being located between the moving component and the inner wall of the housing, the moving component comes into contact with the buffer component during the moving process, so that the buffer component comes into contact with the inner wall of the housing. This is equivalent to the moving component being buffered between the moving component and the inner wall of the housing through the buffer component, avoiding the moving component directly hitting the inner wall of the housing and causing abnormal noise, which can improve the user's experience of using the camera module.

[0020] Reference Figure 1 An exploded view of a camera module provided in an embodiment of this application is shown; refer to Figure 2 The diagram shows a schematic of a buffer component provided in an embodiment of this application; see reference to Figure 3 An exploded view of a buffer component provided in an embodiment of this application is shown; refer to Figure 4 This illustration shows a schematic diagram of a sidewall buffer assembly provided in an embodiment of this application for a movable component; see reference to... Figure 5 This illustration shows a schematic diagram of a movable component provided in an embodiment of this application, where both the sidewall and the inner wall of the housing are provided with buffer components. Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the camera module includes: housing 10, moving component 20, and buffer component 30.

[0021] The movable component 20 is disposed in the housing 10 and is movable relative to the housing 10 along a first direction X. In the first direction X, the buffer component 30 is disposed between the movable component 20 and the inner wall of the housing 10.

[0022] In this embodiment, since the movable component 20 is disposed within the housing 10 and is movable relative to the housing 10 along a first direction, the lens of the camera module can be connected to the movable component 20. Thus, during the movement of the movable component 20, it can drive the lens to move, allowing the camera module to adjust its focus or focus, thereby improving the shooting effect of the camera module. Since the buffer component 30 is disposed between the movable component 20 and the inner wall of the housing 10 in the first direction, during the movement of the movable component 20, it drives the lens to move. Before the movable component 20 touches the inner wall of the housing 10, it first contacts the buffer component 30, causing the buffer component 30 to deform. Then, the movable component 20 drives the buffer component 30 to contact the inner wall of the housing 10, preventing the movable component 20 from directly impacting the inner wall of the housing 10 and causing significant noise. That is, in this embodiment of the application, by setting a buffer component 30 in the moving direction of the moving component 20, and the buffer component 30 being located between the moving component 20 and the inner wall of the housing 10, the moving component 20 comes into contact with the buffer component 30 during the moving process, so that the buffer component 30 comes into contact with the inner wall of the housing 10. This is equivalent to the moving component 20 being buffered between the moving component 20 and the inner wall of the housing 10 by the buffer component 30, avoiding the moving component 20 directly hitting the inner wall of the housing 10 and causing abnormal noise, which can improve the user's experience of using the camera module.

[0023] In related technologies, a camera module includes a housing 10, a moving component 20, and a lens. The moving component 20 is disposed in the housing 10, and at least part of the lens is located outside the housing 10 and connected to the moving component 20. The moving component 20 drives the lens to move. During the movement of the moving component 20, the moving component 20 may hit the inner wall of the housing 10, producing abnormal noise, which causes the camera module to make abnormal noise and affects the user's experience of using the camera module. In this embodiment, by providing a buffer component 30 in the moving direction of the moving component 20, and the buffer component 30 being located between the moving component 20 and the inner wall of the housing 10, the moving component 20 contacts the buffer component 30 during its movement. As the moving component 20 continues to move, it causes the buffer component 30 to contact the inner wall of the housing 10. Thus, the moving component 20 will not directly impact the inner wall of the housing 10. This is equivalent to the buffer component 30 cushioning the moving component 20 between it and the inner wall of the housing 10, preventing the moving component 20 from directly impacting the inner wall of the housing 10 and causing abnormal noise, thereby improving the user's experience with the camera module.

[0024] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the housing 10 may include a first sub-housing 11 and a second sub-housing 12. The first sub-housing 11 is fitted onto the second sub-housing 12, and the first sub-housing 11 and the second sub-housing 12 can enclose and form a receiving cavity. The moving component 20 is disposed in the receiving cavity. An opening is provided on the first housing 10 and / or the second sub-housing 12, through which the lens of the camera module can pass and connect to the moving component 20, so that the moving component 20 can drive the lens to move during the movement of the moving component 20. A buffer component 30 may be disposed in the receiving cavity, and in the moving direction of the moving component 20, the buffer component 30 is located between the moving component 20 and the cavity wall of the receiving cavity. Furthermore, the second sub-housing 12 may have a receiving space, with the first sub-housing 11 covering the second sub-housing 12, such that the first sub-housing 11 and the second sub-housing 12 enclose and form the receiving cavity.

[0025] In addition, in this embodiment, the moving component 20 may include a moving body, a first magnetic component, and a second magnetic component. All three components are disposed within the housing 10. The first magnetic component is disposed on the moving body, and the second magnetic component is disposed on the inner wall of the housing 10. The moving body can be connected to the lens of the camera module. The interaction between the first and second magnetic components causes the moving body to move, thereby moving the lens. Specifically, the first and second magnetic components can repel or attract each other. When they attract each other, the moving body moves along a first direction; when they repel each other, the moving body moves along a second direction, which is opposite to the first direction. The first magnetic component can be a magnet, and the second magnetic component can be an electromagnetic coil. Passing different currents through the electromagnetic coil can change its magnetism, causing the first and second magnetic components to attract or repel each other. Alternatively, the first magnetic component can be an electromagnetic coil, and the second magnetic component can be a magnet. This embodiment does not limit the specific magnetic component used in this application.

[0026] In addition, in this embodiment of the application, the camera module may also include a lens (not shown in the figure), and the moving component 20 is connected to the lens, and the moving component 20 can drive the lens to move.

[0027] Additionally, in some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the buffer assembly 30 is disposed on the side wall of the moving assembly 20; and / or, the opposite ends of the buffer assembly 30 are connected to the inner wall of the housing 10, and there is a gap between the middle part of the buffer assembly 30 and the inner wall of the housing 10.

[0028] In this embodiment, the buffer component 30 may be provided only on the side wall of the moving component 20, or only on the inner wall of the housing 10, or both on the side wall of the moving component 20 and the inner wall of the housing 10. This embodiment does not limit the specific implementation of the buffer component 30.

[0029] When the buffer component 30 is disposed on the side wall of the movable component 20, the buffer component 30 protrudes from the side wall of the movable component 20. During the movement of the movable component 20, once the movable component 20 is about to collide with the inner wall of the housing 10, the buffer component 30 first contacts the inner wall of the housing 10 and can be compressed. Then, as the movable component 20 moves, the movable component 20 contacts the buffer component 30, thereby preventing the movable component 20 from directly impacting the inner wall of the housing 10 and producing abnormal noise.

[0030] When the buffer assembly 30 is disposed on the inner wall of the housing 10, the two opposite ends of the buffer assembly 30 are connected to the inner wall of the housing 10, and there is a gap between the middle part of the buffer assembly 30 and the inner wall of the housing 10. At this time, during the movement of the moving assembly 20, once the moving assembly 20 is about to collide with the inner wall of the housing 10, the moving assembly 20 first contacts the buffer assembly 30, thereby causing the moving assembly 20 to deform. Then, as the moving assembly 20 continues to move, the buffer assembly 30 contacts the inner wall of the housing 10, thereby preventing the moving assembly 20 from directly impacting the inner wall of the housing 10 and producing abnormal noise.

[0031] In some embodiments, when buffer components 30 are provided on both the side wall of the movable component 20 and the inner wall of the housing 10, the buffer components 30 on the inner wall of the housing 10 are at least partially opposite to the buffer components 30 on the side wall of the movable component 20. With this arrangement, during the movement of the movable component 20, once it is about to collide with the inner wall of the housing 10, the buffer components 30 on the movable component 20 first contact the buffer components 30 on the inner wall of the housing 10, causing both the buffer components 30 on the movable component 20 and the buffer components 30 on the inner wall of the housing 10 to deform. As the movable component 20 continues to move, the buffer components 30 on the housing 10 contact the inner wall of the housing 10, effectively providing multiple layers of buffer components 30 between the movable component 20 and the inner wall of the housing 10. This further prevents the movable component 20 from colliding with the inner wall of the housing 10 and generating abnormal noise.

[0032] It should be noted that when a buffer component 30 is provided on the moving component 20, the number of buffer components 30 on the moving component 20 can be set according to actual needs. For example, the number of buffer components 30 on the moving component 20 may be two, or four. In this case, two of the four buffer components 30 may be located at one end of the moving component 20, and the other two may be located at the other end. The specific number of buffer components 30 on the moving component 20 is not limited in this embodiment. When a buffer component 30 is provided on the moving component 20, and a buffer component 30 is also provided on the inner wall of the housing 10, the number of buffer components 30 on the inner wall of the housing 10 is equal to the number of buffer components 30 on the moving component 20.

[0033] Additionally, in some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the buffer assembly 30 may include an elastic member 31 and a buffer member 32; the buffer member 32 is disposed in the middle of the elastic member 31; when the buffer assembly 30 is disposed on the side wall of the moving assembly 20, the opposite ends of the elastic member 31 are fixed to the side wall of the moving assembly 20; when the opposite ends of the buffer assembly 30 are connected to the inner wall of the housing 10, the opposite ends of the elastic member 31 are connected to the inner wall of the housing 10, and there is a gap between the buffer member 32 and the inner wall of the housing 10.

[0034] In this embodiment, the elastic members 31 may be fixed only on the side wall of the movable component 20, or only on the inner wall of the housing 10, or both ends of the elastic members 31 may be fixed on the side wall of the movable component 20 and the other end of the elastic member 31 may be fixed on the inner wall of the housing 10. This embodiment does not limit the specific implementation of these embodiments.

[0035] When the two ends of the elastic element 31 are fixed to the side wall of the moving component 20, both the buffer element 32 and the elastic element 31 protrude from the side wall of the moving component 20. During the movement of the moving component 20, once the moving component 20 is about to collide with the inner wall of the housing 10, the buffer element 32 will first contact the inner wall of the housing 10, and the buffer element 32 will cause the elastic element 31 to deform. Thus, the elastic element 31 can effectively buffer the moving component 20, thereby preventing the moving component 20 from directly impacting the inner wall of the housing 10 and producing abnormal noise.

[0036] When the two ends of the elastic element 31 are connected to the inner wall of the housing 10, there is a gap between the buffer element 32 and the inner wall of the housing 10. During the movement of the moving component 20, once the moving component 20 is about to collide with the inner wall of the housing 10, the moving component 20 first contacts the buffer element 32. Thus, the moving component 20 causes the elastic element 31 to deform by driving the buffer element 32. The elastic element 31 effectively buffers the moving component 20, preventing the moving component 20 from directly impacting the inner wall of the housing 10 and producing abnormal noise.

[0037] Furthermore, when two opposite ends of the elastic element 31 are fixed to the side wall of the movable component 20, and two opposite ends of another elastic element 31 are fixed to the inner wall of the housing 10, the elastic element 31 on the inner wall of the housing 10 is positioned opposite to the elastic element 31 on the side wall of the movable component 20, and the buffer element 32 on the elastic element 31 is also positioned opposite. With this arrangement, during the movement of the movable component 20, if the movable component 20 is about to collide with the inner wall of the housing 10, the movable component 20 contacts the buffer element 32 on the elastic element 31, causing the elastic element 31 on the movable component 20 to deform. Then, the buffer element 32 contacts the buffer element 32 on the elastic element 31 on the housing 10, causing the elastic element 31 on the housing 10 to deform. This effectively prevents both elastic elements 31 from directly impacting the inner wall of the housing 10 and causing abnormal noise.

[0038] Additionally, in some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the elastic member 31 includes a first elastic part 312, a mounting part 313, and a second elastic part 314; the first elastic part 312, the mounting part 313, and the second elastic part 314 are connected in sequence, and the buffer member 32 is disposed on the mounting part 313; when the buffer assembly 30 is disposed on the side wall of the moving assembly 20, one end of the first elastic part 312 is fixed to the side wall of the moving assembly 20, and one end of the second elastic part 314 is fixed to the side wall of the moving assembly 20; when the two opposite ends of the buffer assembly 30 are connected to the inner wall of the housing 10, one end of the first elastic part 312 is fixed to the inner wall of the housing 10, and one end of the second elastic part 314 is fixed to the inner wall of the housing 10.

[0039] Since the first elastic part 312, the mounting part 313, and the second elastic part 314 are connected in sequence, when it is necessary to fix the opposite ends of the elastic element 31 to the side wall of the moving assembly 20, one end of the first elastic part 312 and one end of the second elastic part 314 can be connected to the side wall of the moving assembly 20 respectively. Thus, when the moving assembly 20 is about to collide with the inner wall of the housing 10, the moving assembly 20 contacts the buffer 32, causing the moving assembly 20 to compress the buffer 32. The buffer 32 provides initial cushioning for the moving assembly 20. Afterwards, the buffer 32, through the mounting part 313, causes the first elastic part 312 and the second elastic part 314 to deform. The first elastic part 312 and the second elastic part 314 can effectively cushion the moving assembly 20, preventing the moving assembly from collapsing. The moving component 20 directly impacts the inner wall of the housing 10, producing abnormal noise. When it is necessary to fix the opposite ends of the elastic component 31 to the inner wall of the housing 10, one end of the first elastic part 312 and one end of the second elastic part 314 can be connected to the inner wall of the housing 10 respectively. Thus, when the moving component 20 is about to impact the inner wall of the housing 10, the moving component 20 contacts the buffer component 32, thereby the moving component 20 squeezes the buffer component 32, and the buffer component 32 initially buffers the moving component 20. Then, the buffer component 32 drives the first elastic part 312 and the second elastic part 314 to deform through the mounting part 313. The first elastic part 312 and the second elastic part 314 can effectively buffer the moving component 20, avoiding the moving component 20 directly impacting the inner wall of the housing 10 and producing abnormal noise.

[0040] In addition, in this embodiment, one end of the first elastic part 312 is connected to the first fixing part 311, and one end of the second elastic part is connected to the second fixing part 315. When the buffer assembly 30 is disposed on the side wall of the moving assembly 20, one end of the first elastic part 312 is fixed to the side wall of the moving assembly 20 through the first fixing part 311, and one end of the second elastic part 314 is fixed to the side wall of the moving assembly 20 through the second fixing part 315. When the two opposite ends of the buffer assembly 30 are connected to the inner wall of the housing 10, one end of the first elastic part 312 is fixed to the inner wall of the housing 10 through the first fixing part 311, and one end of the second elastic part 314 is fixed to the inner wall of the housing 10 through the second fixing part 315.

[0041] With this configuration, when it is necessary to fix the opposite ends of the elastic element 31 to the side wall of the movable component 20, the first fixing part 311 can be directly fixed to the side wall of the movable component 20, so that one end of the first elastic element 312 is fixed to the side wall of the movable component 20 through the first fixing part 311, and the second fixing part 315 can be directly fixed to the side wall of the movable component 20, so that one end of the second elastic element 314 is fixed to the side wall of the movable component 20 through the second fixing part 315. That is, by providing the first fixing part 311 and the second fixing part 315, it is convenient to fix the elastic element 31 to the side wall of the movable component 20. Similarly, when it is necessary to fix the opposite ends of the elastic element 31 to the inner wall of the housing 10, the first fixing part 311 can be directly fixed to the inner wall of the housing 10, so that one end of the first elastic part 312 is fixed to the inner wall of the housing 10 through the first fixing part 311, and the second fixing part 315 can be directly fixed to the inner wall of the housing 10, so that one end of the second elastic part 314 is fixed to the inner wall of the housing 10 through the second fixing part 315. That is, by providing the first fixing part 311 and the second fixing part 315, it is convenient to fix the elastic element 31 to the inner wall of the housing 10.

[0042] In addition, when it is necessary to fix the opposite ends of the elastic member 31 on the side wall of the movable component 20 and fix the opposite ends of another elastic member 31 on the inner wall of the housing 10, the first fixing part 311 and the second fixing part 315 of one elastic member 31 can be fixed on the side wall of the movable component 20, and the first fixing part 311 and the second fixing part 315 of the other elastic member 31 can be fixed on the inner wall of the housing 10. When the moving component 20 is about to collide with the inner wall of the housing 10, the moving component 20 first contacts the buffer 32 on the elastic member 31 on the moving component 20, thereby the moving component 20 squeezes the buffer 32, and the buffer 32 initially buffers the moving component 20. Then, the buffer 32 drives the first elastic part 312 and the second elastic part 314 to deform through the mounting part 313. The first elastic part 312 and the second elastic part 314 can effectively buffer the moving component 20. Then, the buffer 32 contacts the buffer 32 on the elastic member 31 on the housing 10, so that the buffer 32 on the housing 10 drives the first elastic part 312 and the second elastic part 314 on the elastic member 31 on the housing 10 to deform through the mounting part 313. Thus, the first elastic part 312 and the second elastic part 314 again buffer the moving component 20, effectively preventing the moving component 20 from directly impacting the inner wall of the housing 10 and producing abnormal noise.

[0043] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the first fixing part 311 can be bonded to the side wall of the movable component 20 and / or the inner wall of the housing 10 using adhesive, and the second fixing part 315 can also be bonded to the side wall of the movable component 20 and / or the inner wall of the housing 10 using adhesive. Of course, the first fixing part 311 can also be fixed to the side wall of the movable component 20 and / or the inner wall of the housing 10 in other ways, for example, by screws. This embodiment does not limit this method. Similarly, the second fixing part 315 can also be fixed to the side wall of the movable component 20 and / or the inner wall of the housing 10 in other ways, for example, by screws. This embodiment does not limit this method.

[0044] Additionally, in some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, both the first elastic part 312 and the second elastic part 314 include a plurality of elastic wires 3111. The plurality of elastic wires 3111 in the first elastic part 312 are spaced apart, and the two ends of each elastic wire 3111 are respectively connected to the first fixing part 311 and the mounting part 313; the plurality of elastic wires 3111 in the second elastic part 314 are spaced apart, and the two ends of each elastic wire 3111 are respectively connected to the second fixing part 315 and the mounting part 313.

[0045] With this configuration, when the buffer 32 moves the mounting part 313, the mounting part 313 can simultaneously deform multiple elastic wires 3111 of the first elastic part 312 and multiple elastic wires 3111 of the second elastic part 314, thereby effectively buffering the moving component 20. Furthermore, the multiple elastic wires 3111 of the first elastic part 312 and the multiple elastic wires 3111 of the second elastic part 314 are spaced apart, which avoids mutual interference between the elastic wires 3111 of the first elastic part 312 during deformation, thus promoting the deformation of both.

[0046] It should be noted that the number of elastic threads 3111 in the first elastic part 312 can be set according to actual needs. For example, the number of elastic threads 3111 in the first elastic part 312 may be 2, or even 3. This embodiment of the application does not limit this. The number of elastic threads 3111 in the second elastic part 314 can also be set according to actual needs. For example, the number of elastic threads 3111 in the second elastic part 314 may be 2, or even 3. This embodiment of the application does not limit this.

[0047] Additionally, in some embodiments, such as Figure 2 or Figure 3 As shown, the buffer member 32 includes a buffer sub-member 321; the elastic member 31 has a first surface 3101 and a second surface 3102 facing away from each other, the first surface 3101 facing the moving assembly 20, and the second surface 3102 facing the inner wall of the housing 10, and the first surface 3101 and / or the second surface 3102 are provided with the buffer sub-member 321.

[0048] When the first surface 3101 is provided with a buffer sub-component 321, during the movement of the moving component 20, when the moving component 20 is about to collide with the inner wall of the housing 10, the moving component 20 first contacts the buffer sub-component 321, thereby causing the buffer sub-component 321 to deform. Then, the buffer sub-component 321 drives the elastic element 31 to deform, so that the elastic element 31 contacts the inner wall of the housing 10. This is equivalent to the buffer sub-component 321 providing the first buffer for the moving component 20, and the elastic element 31 providing the second buffer for the moving component 20, effectively preventing the moving component 20 from directly impacting the inner wall of the housing 10 and causing abnormal noise.

[0049] When the second surface 3102 is provided with a buffer sub-component 321, during the movement of the moving component 20, when the moving component 20 is about to collide with the inner wall of the housing 10, the moving component 20 causes the elastic component 31 to deform, so that the buffer sub-component 321 on the second surface 3102 first contacts the inner wall of the housing 10, which can prevent the elastic component 31 from impacting the inner wall of the housing 10 and causing abnormal noise, thereby preventing the moving component 20 from directly impacting the inner wall of the housing 10 and causing abnormal noise.

[0050] When both the first surface 3101 and the second surface 3102 are provided with buffer sub-components 321, the moving component 20 first contacts the buffer sub-component 321 on the first surface 3101, thereby deforming the buffer sub-component 321. Then, the buffer sub-component 321 drives the elastic element 31 to deform. After that, the elastic element 31 can drive the buffer sub-component 321 on the second surface 3102 to move, so that the buffer sub-component 321 contacts the inner wall of the housing 10, thereby deforming the buffer sub-component 321. This is equivalent to the buffer sub-component 321 on the first surface 3101 providing the first buffer for the moving component 20, the elastic element 31 providing the second buffer for the moving component 20, and the buffer sub-component 321 on the second surface 3102 providing the third buffer for the moving component 20, which can further prevent the moving component 20 from directly impacting the inner wall of the housing 10 and causing abnormal noise.

[0051] It should be noted that the buffer component 321 can be a component with buffering properties. For example, the buffer component 321 can be made of silicone or foam. This application does not limit the specific type of buffer component 321.

[0052] Additionally, in some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the elastic member 31 is provided with an opening 3103. At least a portion of the buffer sub-members 321 on the first surface 3101 or at least a portion of the buffer sub-members 321 on the second surface 3102 pass through the opening 3103, and the buffer sub-members 321 on the first surface 3101 and the buffer sub-members 321 on the second surface 3102 are integrally formed.

[0053] With this configuration, the buffer component 321 can be injection molded onto the elastic element 31 using an injection molding process. Specifically, the buffer component 321 can first be formed on the surface of the elastic element 31 facing the moving component 20, that is, on the first surface 3101. Then, the material of the injection-molded buffer component 321 flows through the opening 3103, so that the buffer component 321 is formed on the surface of the elastic element 31 facing the inner wall of the housing 10. Thus, the buffer component 321 on the first surface 3101 and the buffer component 321 on the second surface 3102 are integrally formed, and the buffer component 321 on the first surface 3101 and the buffer component 321 on the second surface 3102 are not easily separated from the elastic element 31. Alternatively, a buffer sub-component 321 can be formed first on the surface of the elastic member 31 facing the inner wall of the housing 10. Then, the material of the injection-molded buffer sub-component 321 flows through the opening 3103, forming the buffer sub-component 321 on the surface of the elastic member 31 facing the moving assembly 20. This allows the buffer sub-component 321 on the first surface 3101 and the buffer sub-component 321 on the second surface 3102 to be integrally formed, and the buffer sub-component 321 on the first surface 3101 and the buffer sub-component 321 on the second surface 3102 are not easily separated from the elastic member 31. The number of openings 3103 on the elastic member 31 can be set according to actual needs. For example, if there are five openings 3103, one opening 3103 can be located in the middle of the elastic member 31, and the other four openings 3103 can surround it. Another example is that there is only one opening 3103, located in the middle of the elastic member 31. The specific number of openings 3103 is not limited in this embodiment.

[0054] It should be noted that when the elastic member 31 includes the mounting portion 313, the mounting portion 313 is provided with the opening 3103. In addition, in the embodiments of this application, the buffer sub-member 321 can also be bonded to the first surface 3101 and the buffer sub-member 321 can be bonded to the second surface 3102.

[0055] Additionally, in some embodiments, such as Figure 1As shown, along the first direction X, the moving component 20 has opposing first and second sidewalls. A buffer component 30 is disposed between the first sidewall and the inner wall of the housing 10, and a buffer component 30 is disposed between the second sidewall and the inner wall of the housing 10. With this arrangement, during the movement of the moving component 20, the buffer component 30 can effectively buffer the first sidewall 201 of the moving component 20, preventing the first sidewall 201 from impacting the inner wall of the housing 10 and causing abnormal noise. It can also effectively buffer the second sidewall 202 of the moving component 20, preventing the second sidewall 202 from impacting the inner wall of the housing 10 and causing abnormal noise.

[0056] In this embodiment, since the movable component 20 is disposed within the housing 10 and is movable relative to the housing 10 along a first direction, the lens of the camera module can be connected to the movable component 20. Thus, during the movement of the movable component 20, it can drive the lens to move, allowing the camera module to adjust its focus or focus, thereby improving the shooting effect of the camera module. Since the buffer component 30 is disposed between the movable component 20 and the inner wall of the housing 10 in the first direction, during the movement of the movable component 20, it drives the lens to move. Before the movable component 20 touches the inner wall of the housing 10, it first contacts the buffer component 30, causing the buffer component 30 to deform. Then, the movable component 20 drives the buffer component 30 to contact the inner wall of the housing 10, preventing the movable component 20 from directly impacting the inner wall of the housing 10 and causing significant noise. That is, in this embodiment of the application, by setting a buffer component 30 in the moving direction of the moving component 20, and the buffer component 30 being located between the moving component 20 and the inner wall of the housing 10, the moving component 20 comes into contact with the buffer component 30 during the moving process, so that the buffer component 30 comes into contact with the inner wall of the housing 10. This is equivalent to the moving component 20 being buffered between the moving component 20 and the inner wall of the housing 10 by the buffer component 30, avoiding the moving component 20 directly hitting the inner wall of the housing 10 and causing abnormal noise, which can improve the user's experience of using the camera module.

[0057] This application provides an electronic device, which includes a device body and a camera module as described in any of the above embodiments; the camera module is mounted on the device body.

[0058] In this embodiment, since the movable component 20 is disposed within the housing 10 and is movable relative to the housing 10 along a first direction, the lens of the camera module can be connected to the movable component 20. Thus, during the movement of the movable component 20, it can drive the lens to move, allowing the camera module to adjust its focus or focus, thereby improving the shooting effect of the camera module. Since the buffer component 30 is disposed between the movable component 20 and the inner wall of the housing 10 in the first direction, during the movement of the movable component 20, it drives the lens to move. Before hitting the inner wall of the housing 10, the movable component 20 first contacts the buffer component 30, causing the buffer component 30 to deform. Then, the movable component 20 drives the buffer component 30 to contact the inner wall of the housing 10, preventing the movable component 20 from directly impacting the inner wall of the housing 10 and generating significant noise. This reduces noise from the electronic device during shooting. That is, in this embodiment of the application, by providing a buffer component 30 in the moving direction of the moving component 20, and the buffer component 30 being located between the moving component 20 and the inner wall of the housing 10, the moving component 20 comes into contact with the buffer component 30 during the moving process, so that the buffer component 30 comes into contact with the inner wall of the housing 10. This is equivalent to the moving component 20 being buffered between the moving component 20 and the inner wall of the housing 10 by the buffer component 30, avoiding the moving component 20 directly hitting the inner wall of the housing 10 and causing abnormal noise. This can improve the user's experience of using the electronic device and is conducive to the promotion of the electronic device.
