[0034] Embodiment two

[0035] The application discloses a periscopic driving device, referring to Figures 1-10 , comprising a base 1 and a shell 2 buckled on the base 1 and having an incident light hole 20, a containing space is formed between the base 1 and the shell 2, and a prism assembly and a lens assembly as shown in Figures 8-10 are arranged in the containing space, the prism assembly comprises a prism carrier 4 for carrying a prism and a prism driving part 40 for driving the prism carrier 4 to move, and the lens assembly comprises a lens carrier 5 for carrying a lens and a lens driving part 50 for driving the lens carrier 5 to move.

[0037] In the embodiment, the prism carrier 4 has two inner and outer carriers, the two carriers move relatively and simultaneously make OIS anti-shake movement relative to the base 1, the two prism carriers 4 both have the first limiting surface, the inner prism carrier 4 is used to carry the prism and rotate relative to the outer prism carrier 4 around the direction perpendicular to the exit light axis and the incident light axis of the prism under the action of the prism driving part 40, and the outer prism carrier 4 rotates relative to the base 1 around the exit light axis of the prism. In other embodiments, the axis around which the two prism carriers 4 rotate can be any one of the exit light axis of the prism, the incident light axis of the prism and the direction perpendicular to the exit light axis and the incident light axis of the prism.

[0038] The lens carrier 5 is provided in this embodiment, and in other embodiments, the lens carrier 5 can be provided in two or more along the direction of the exit optical axis of the prism, and each lens carrier 5 has a second limiting surface. The lens carrier 5 is moved along the direction of the exit optical axis of the prism by the lens driving part 50 to perform focusing.

[0039] The first limiting surface and the second limiting surface can be a continuous surface or a plurality of discontinuous surfaces, and can be a flat surface or a non-flat surface.

[0040] The buffer layer 3 covers at least part of the first limiting surface and at least part of the second limiting surface along the direction of the incident optical axis of the prism.

[0041] The base 1 has a structure including a bottom block and a U-shaped retaining wall part connected to at least three sides of the bottom block, and the buffer layer 3 is fixed to the side of the U-shaped retaining wall part away from the bottom block, or can be understood as being fixed to the side of the U-shaped retaining wall part close to the inner top surface 21 of the shell 2.

[0042] Specifically, in this embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 The buffer layer 3 is fixed to the side of the base 1 close to the inner top surface 21 of the shell 2 provided with the incident light hole 20, and the buffer layer 3, the first limiting surface, and the second limiting surface are in contact or have a first gap S1 reserved, and the presence of the buffer layer 3 can effectively absorb the vibration generated during the operation of the moving part, reduce the direct impact on the shell 2, and thus reduce the wear of the parts.

[0043] To ensure that the incident light can directly enter the driving device, a hole / slot structure 30 is provided on the buffer layer 3, which is in communication with the incident light hole 20, and the hole / slot structure 30 includes any one of a hole and a slot, and in this embodiment, the structure is a hole structure, and in specific working conditions, the diameter and arrangement of the hole will be optimized according to the characteristics of the driving device and the parameters of the light source to ensure that the light can uniformly and efficiently irradiate the required area.

[0044] Because of the hole / slot structure 30, the buffer layer 3 can be a closed shape or an open shape, and of course in some embodiments, the buffer layer 3 can be divided into two parts, but each part of the two parts simultaneously buffers two different carriers, i.e., each part has at least part between the first limiting surface and the inner top surface 21, and at least part between the second limiting surface and the inner top surface 21.

[0045] Embodiment Three

[0046] The structure and principle of this embodiment are basically the same as those of embodiment one, and the difference is that for the buffer layer of the above-mentioned embodiment one, this embodiment describes another design idea about the buffer layer.

[0047] AsFigure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the buffer layer 3 is fixed to the inner top surface 21 of the housing 2 on the side where the light entrance hole 20 is provided, and the buffer layer 3 and the first and second limiting surfaces are in contact or a second gap S2 is reserved therebetween.

[0048] The second gap S2 has the same effect as the first gap S1 in Embodiment One, and can provide better tolerance compensation during installation and debugging, and provide a space for the movable parts in the driving device.

[0049] In particular, as shown in the drawings, Figure 2 As shown, the first and / or second limiting surfaces are provided with an avoidance step groove 10 on the side of the housing 2 where the light entrance hole 20 is provided, the buffer layer 3 is at least partially inserted into the avoidance step groove 10, and a second gap S2 is reserved between the buffer layer 3 and the bottom of the avoidance step groove 10. The avoidance step groove 10 can ensure that the buffer layer 3 can effectively absorb the vibration or impact that may come from the base 1 without affecting the transmission of light, and to some extent, the provision of the avoidance step groove 10 can improve the structural strength of the entire base 1, thereby improving the service life of the driving device.

[0050] In this embodiment, the hole / groove structure 30 is designed as a groove structure, and the groove structure is designed to cut the above-mentioned buffer layer 3 into a U shape. This design has the same structural effect as the buffer layer 3 and the hole / groove structure 30 in Embodiment One, and the U-shaped design greatly simplifies the structure of the buffer layer 3, reducing production costs.

[0051] Embodiment Four

[0052] The structure and principle of this embodiment are basically the same as those of Embodiments One and Two, and the difference lies in that, for the buffer layer described in Embodiments One and Two, this embodiment describes another design idea for the buffer layer.

[0053] In this embodiment, the buffer layer 3 has two layers, one of which is fixed to the side of the base 1 near the housing 2 where the light entrance hole 20 is provided, and the other is fixed to the inner wall of the housing 2 on the side where the light entrance hole 20 is provided. The two layers of buffer layer 3 are in contact or a third gap is reserved therebetween. The design of the double-layer buffer structure effectively enhances the shock resistance and impact resistance of the driving device.

[0054] The design of the double-layer buffer structure is theoretically better in terms of shock resistance and impact resistance than the buffer structure in Embodiments One and Two, but its production cost is better, and the structure is more complex. It can be optimized according to the actual working conditions.

[0055] Embodiment Five

[0056] The structure and principle of the embodiment are basically the same as those of embodiment one, and the difference lies in that, for the driving device in the above embodiment one, the camera module of the embodiment comprises the periscopic driving device of embodiment four.

[0057] As shown in Figure 11 The camera module is an integrated hardware component, which is usually used to capture images and videos, and is widely used in various electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablet computers, monitoring devices, unmanned aerial vehicles, smart homes and the like.

[0058] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the spirit of the present application. Those skilled in the art of the present application can make various modifications or supplements to the described specific embodiments or replace them with similar ways, but will not deviate from the spirit of the present application or exceed the scope defined by the appended claims.
