Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electronic equipment, and particularly relates to a camera module and an electronic equipment. BACKGROUND

[0002] The camera module can be used to obtain images. The camera module can include multiple lenses, and zoom assemblies and photosensitive elements corresponding to the lenses, so that each lens can perform an imaging process through the zoom assemblies and the photosensitive elements.

[0003] However, the camera module in the related art has a large volume and occupies a large space, which reduces the utilization rate of the internal space of the electronic equipment. NOVELTY CONTENT

[0004] The present application provides a camera module and an electronic equipment, which can solve the technical problem that the camera module occupies a large space and reduces the utilization rate of the internal space of the electronic equipment.

[0005] The first aspect of the present application provides a camera module, which includes a housing and a camera main body. The housing has a receiving cavity inside. The housing is provided with a first light through hole and a second light through hole which are in communication with the receiving cavity. The first light through hole and the second light through hole are arranged at intervals along a first direction. The width of the first light through hole is a1, and the length of the first light through hole is b1. The width of the second light through hole is a2, and the length of the second light through hole is b2. The a1, the b1, the a2 and the b2 satisfy the following relationship: 0.25≤(a1 / b1)×(a2 / b2)≤1. The camera main body is arranged in the receiving cavity.

[0006] The present application provides a camera module. The camera module is arranged in the receiving cavity of the housing, and the camera main body is protected by the housing, so that the probability of damage caused by impact is reduced.

[0007] Further, by using the value of a1 / b1 to control the length and width of the first light passing hole, if the value of a1 / b1 is too small, the first light passing hole will be too narrow in the first direction, which is not conducive to the processing of the first light passing hole. If the value of a1 / b1 is too large, the first light passing hole will occupy too much space in the first direction, resulting in a larger shell, thereby increasing the space occupation of the camera module. Further, the value of a2 / b2 is used to control the length and width of the second light passing hole. If the value of a2 / b2 is too small, the second light passing hole will be too narrow in the first direction, which is not conducive to the processing of the second light passing hole. If the value of a2 / b2 is too large, the second light passing hole will occupy too much space in the first direction, resulting in a larger shell, thereby increasing the space occupation of the camera module.

[0008] Further, by making 0.25≤(a1 / b1)×(a2 / b2)≤1, the size of the first light passing hole and the second light passing hole in the length direction and the width direction can be limited, thereby ensuring the processability of the first light passing hole and the second light passing hole, reducing the space occupation of the first light passing hole and the second light passing hole on the shell, and further reducing the space occupation of the camera module.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the b1 and the b2 satisfy 1≤b1 / b2≤3, and the a1 and the a2 satisfy 1≤a1 / a2≤3.

[0010] In this way, by controlling b1 / b2 to be greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to 3, and a1 / a2 to be greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to 3, at least the size of b1 is greater than or equal to b2, so that the first light passing hole has more light than the second light passing hole, and the second lens arranged in the second light passing hole is used as a telephoto lens compared to the first lens arranged in the first light passing hole.

[0011] If the value of a1 / a2 is too small, and the value of b1 / b2 is too small, the light passing amount of the first light passing hole and the second light passing hole will be almost the same, thereby causing the focal length of the first lens and the second lens to be the same, the functional area to be consistent, and the long focal length and the short focal length to be indistinguishable, resulting in a single function of the camera module. If the value of a1 / a2 is too large, and the value of b1 / b2 is too large, the size difference between the first light passing hole and the second light passing hole will be too large, which will increase the occupied area of the first light passing hole and the second light passing hole on the shell of the camera module, thereby increasing the volume of the shell and further increasing the space occupation of the camera module.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the a1 and the b1 satisfy 0.5≤(a1+a2) / b1≤2.

[0013] In this way, by controlling the value of (a1+a2) / b1 to be greater than or equal to 0.5 and less than or equal to 2, if the value of (a1+a2) / b1 is too small, the sum of the widths of the first light passing hole and the second light passing hole in the width direction will be too small, the first light passing hole and the second light passing hole will be too narrow, which is not conducive to the processing of the first light passing hole and the second light passing hole, and if the value of (a1+a2) / b1 is too large, the sum of the widths of the first light passing hole and the second light passing hole in the width direction will be too large, the first light passing hole and the second light passing hole will be too wide, which will occupy a larger space on the shell, thereby increasing the space occupancy of the camera module.

[0014] In a possible implementation, the first light passing hole and the second light passing hole are spaced apart along a first direction, and a spacing distance between the first light passing hole and the second light passing hole is d; the d satisfies 0.2mm

[0015] In this way, by controlling the spacing distance between the first light passing hole and the second light passing hole to be greater than 0.2mm and less than 5mm, it can be avoided that the spacing distance between the first light passing hole and the second light passing hole is too small, which is not conducive to the processing of the first light passing hole and the second light passing hole, and it can be avoided that the spacing distance between the first light passing hole and the second light passing hole is too small, which reduces the strength of the shell between the first light passing hole and the second light passing hole. Moreover, it can also be avoided that the spacing distance between the first light passing hole and the second light passing hole is too large, which will cause the first light passing hole and the second light passing hole to occupy a larger area on the camera module, thereby reducing the area occupied by the first light passing hole and the second light passing hole on the shell of the camera module, and further reducing the space occupancy of the camera module.

[0016] In a possible implementation, the first light passing hole has a circular, elliptical, or capsule shape; and / or the second light passing hole has a circular, elliptical, or capsule shape.

[0017] In a possible implementation, the first light passing hole and the second light passing hole are in the same plane.

[0018] In this way, by arranging the first light passing hole and the second light passing hole on the same plane of the shell, it can be avoided that there is a height difference between the first light passing hole and the second light passing hole in the axial direction of the light passing hole, thereby ensuring the surface flatness of the camera module at the positions corresponding to the first light passing hole and the second light passing hole.

[0019] In a possible implementation, the camera body includes a lens assembly, a reflection assembly, a zoom assembly, and a photosensitive element.

[0020] The reflection assembly, the zoom assembly and the photosensitive element are arranged in the accommodating cavity, the lens assembly comprises a first lens and a second lens, the first lens is arranged in the first light passing hole, and the second lens is arranged in the second light passing hole; the reflection assembly is used for reflecting light emitted by the first lens or the second lens to the zoom assembly, and the zoom assembly is used for transmitting light emitted by the reflection assembly to the photosensitive element.

[0021] The present application provides a camera module, the camera main body passes through including lens assembly, reflection assembly, zoom assembly and photosensitive element, the reflection assembly in the camera module can reflect the light emitted by the first lens or the second lens to the zoom assembly, then the zoom assembly projects the light emitted by the reflection assembly to the photosensitive element, can realize that the first lens and the second lens share the same photosensitive element for imaging, so as to reduce the number of photosensitive elements in the case of ensuring the imaging quality of the first lens and the second lens, in the case of reducing the total number of parts of the camera module, the volume and the space occupation of the camera module can be further reduced, when the camera module of the present application is installed in electronic equipment, the internal space of the electronic equipment can be further reduced, and the utilization rate of the internal space of the electronic equipment can be improved.

[0022] In a possible implementation manner, the reflection assembly comprises a first reflection element and a driving member; the driving member is used to drive the first reflection element to reciprocate between the first lens and the second lens, and the first reflection element is used to reflect light emitted by the first lens or the second lens to the zoom assembly.

[0023] In this way, the reflection assembly comprises a first reflection element and a driving member, and the first reflection element is driven to move between the first lens and the second lens by using the driving member, so that when the first reflection element is driven by the driving member to move to the first lens, the first reflection element reflects light emitted by the first lens to the zoom assembly, and when the first reflection element is driven by the driving member to move to the second lens, the first reflection element reflects light emitted by the second lens to the zoom assembly, so that only one first reflection element is used to reflect light emitted by the first lens or the second lens, the number of reflection elements is reduced, the number of parts in the first reflection assembly is reduced, the space occupation of the first reflection assembly is reduced, and the space occupation of the camera module is further reduced.

[0024] In addition, since the first lens and the second lens both reflect light by using one first reflection element, the number of first reflection elements can be reduced, and the material cost of the first reflection assembly is reduced.

[0025] In a possible implementation, the reflection assembly and the zoom assembly are arranged in a first direction; the lens assembly and the zoom assembly are arranged in a second direction; and the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.

[0026] By arranging the reflection assembly and the zoom assembly in the first direction, the reflection assembly can reflect the light emitted by the lens assembly to the zoom assembly.

[0027] In a possible implementation, the first lens and the second lens are arranged in the first direction; the zoom assembly has an optical axis extending in the first direction, and the orthographic projection of the optical center of the first lens and the orthographic projection of the optical center of the second lens are both located on the extension line of the optical axis in the second direction.

[0028] In this way, by arranging the first lens and the second lens in the first direction and making the orthographic projection of the optical center of the first lens and the orthographic projection of the optical center of the second lens both fall on the optical axis, the first lens, the second lens, and the zoom assembly can avoid occupying space in directions other than the first direction, thereby reducing the space occupied by the first lens and the second lens.

[0029] A second aspect of the present application provides an electronic device, which includes a body and the camera module described above, the camera module being arranged on the body; the body has a width e in the first direction, the camera module has a shell, and the shell has a first light passage hole and a second light passage hole; the width of the first light passage hole is a1, the width of the second light passage hole of the camera module is a2, and the a1, the a2, and the e satisfy 0.05<(a1+a2) / e<0.5.

[0030] In this way, by making the value of (a1+a2) / e greater than or equal to 0.05 and less than or equal to 0.5, the width of the first light passage hole and the second light passage hole of the camera module can be prevented from being too narrow due to a too small ratio, which is not conducive to the processing of the first light passage hole and the second light passage hole, and the width of the first light passage hole and the second light passage hole can be prevented from being too large due to a too large ratio, which increases the space occupied by the camera module in the first direction and occupies a large space of the body in the first direction.

[0031] In a possible implementation, the body has a length f, the first light passage hole has a length b1, and the b1 and the f satisfy 1<(b1 / f)×100<15.

[0032] In this way, since the length of the first light passing hole is positively correlated with the size of the shell, and the size of the shell is positively correlated with the size of the camera module, by controlling the value of (b1 / f) x 100 to be greater than 1 and less than 15, it can be avoided that the length of the first light passing hole is too small, which is not conducive to the processing of the first light passing hole. It can also be avoided that the length of the first light passing hole is too large, which leads to the size of the shell in the length direction of the first light passing hole being too large, and then the size of the camera module in the length direction of the machine body being too large, and then the space occupation of the camera module in the length direction of the machine body can be reduced on the basis of ensuring the processability of the first light passing hole.

[0049] This application provides an electronic device, which includes, but is not limited to, mobile phones (such as candybar phones or foldable phones), tablet computers, laptops, ultra-mobile personal computers (UMPCs), handheld computers, walkie-talkies, internet TVs, televisions, in-vehicle devices, netbooks, POS machines, personal digital assistants (PDAs), wearable devices (such as smartwatches, smart wristbands, virtual reality devices, and other mobile or fixed terminals with display devices).

[0050] In this embodiment, a mobile phone is used as an example of the aforementioned electronic device for illustration.

[0051] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application provides an electronic device that may include a body, a back cover, and a camera module. The camera module may have multiple lenses with different focal lengths to improve the focal length adjustment range of the camera module and enhance the shooting performance of the electronic device. For example, the camera module may have two lenses.

[0052] In some embodiments, the fuselage is along a first direction (such as...) Figure 1 The width in the X direction is e (e.g., in the X direction). Figure 1 The camera module has a housing with a first light-transmitting hole and a second light-transmitting hole. The width of the first light-transmitting hole is a1 (e.g., width e). Figure 1 The width of the second light-transmitting hole of the camera module is a2 (e.g., a1). Figure 1 The following conditions must be met between the widths a2, a1, a2, and e: 0.05 < (a1 + a2) / e < 0.5.

[0053] In this way, by making the value of (a1+a2) / e greater than or equal to 0.05 and less than or equal to 0.5, it is possible to avoid the first and second light-transmitting holes of the camera module being too narrow due to an excessively small ratio, which would be detrimental to the processing of the first and second light-transmitting holes. It is also possible to avoid the first and second light-transmitting holes being too wide due to an excessively large ratio, which would increase the space occupied by the camera module along the first direction and occupy a large space of the body in the first direction.

[0054] refer to Figure 1 In some embodiments, along the length of the fuselage (e.g.) Figure 1The length of the camera module in the Y direction is f (as shown in FIG. 1B), the length of the first light hole is b1 (as shown in FIG. 1B), and the length of the shell is f (as shown in FIG. 1B). Figure 1 The length of the camera module in the Y direction is f (as shown in FIG. 1B), the length of the first light hole is b1 (as shown in FIG. 1B), and the length of the shell is f (as shown in FIG. 1B). Figure 1 The length of the camera module in the Y direction is f (as shown in FIG. 1B), the length of the first light hole is b1 (as shown in FIG. 1B), and the length of the shell is f (as shown in FIG. 1B).

[0055] In this way, since the length of the first light hole is positively correlated with the size of the shell, and the size of the shell is positively correlated with the size of the camera module, by controlling the value of (b1 / f) x 100 to be greater than 1 and less than 15, it can be avoided that the length of the first light hole is too small, which is not conducive to the processing of the first light hole. It can also be avoided that the length of the first light hole is too large, which leads to the size of the shell in the length direction of the first light hole being too large, and further can avoid that the length of the shell is too large, which leads to the size of the camera module in the length direction of the body being too large. Thus, on the basis of ensuring the processability of the first light hole, the space occupancy of the camera module in the length direction of the body can be reduced.

[0056] However, the volume and space occupancy of the camera module in the related art are large, which occupies a large space inside the electronic device and reduces the utilization rate of the space inside the electronic device.

[0057] The main reason for this problem is that in the related art, when the camera module has multiple lenses, each lens needs to be provided with a light hole on the shell of the camera module. The arrangement position and size of the first light hole and the second light hole on the shell also affect the size of the shell. The size of the first light hole and the related size of the second light hole in the prior art are not reasonable, and the space on the shell is not fully utilized, resulting in a large size of the shell. Since the size of the shell increases, the overall volume of the camera module is large, which increases the space occupancy of the camera module and causes the camera module to occupy a large space inside the electronic device.

[0058] Each lens is provided with a matching zoom lens and a photosensitive element, so as to respectively image the light rays entering each lens. This will significantly increase the number of internal components of the camera module, which will correspondingly significantly increase the overall volume of the camera module, resulting in a large space occupancy of the camera module. When the camera module is installed in the electronic device, the camera module will occupy a large space inside the electronic device, which will affect the arrangement of other components inside the electronic device and reduce the utilization rate of the space inside the electronic device.

[0059] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4In order to solve the above technical problems, the application provides a camera module 30 and an electronic device, and the application provides a camera module, which is capable of protecting the camera body by setting the camera body in the accommodating cavity of the shell, thereby reducing the probability of damage of the camera body caused by collision.

[0060] In addition, by using the value of a1 / b1 to control the length and width of the first light hole, if the value of a1 / b1 is too small, the first light hole will be too narrow in the first direction, which is not conducive to the processing of the first light hole, and if the value of a1 / b1 is too large, the first light hole will occupy too much space in the first direction, which will cause the shell to be larger, thereby increasing the space occupation of the camera module. In addition, the value of a2 / b2 is used to control the length and width of the second light hole, if the value of a2 / b2 is too small, the second light hole will be too narrow in the first direction, which is not conducive to the processing of the second light hole, and if the value of a2 / b2 is too large, the second light hole will occupy too much space in the first direction, which will cause the shell to be larger, thereby increasing the space occupation of the camera module.

[0061] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the embodiments of the application more apparent and easy to understand, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the application.

[0062] Reference Figures 3 to 5 The application also provides a camera module 30, which can include a shell 500 and a camera body (not shown in the figure). The shell 500 has an accommodating cavity 530 inside, and the camera body is arranged in the accommodating cavity 530. The shell 500 is provided with a first light hole 510 and a second light hole 520 which communicate with the accommodating cavity 530.

[0063] In this way, the camera module 30 sets the camera body in the accommodating cavity 530 of the shell 500, and can protect the camera body by the shell 500, thereby reducing the probability of damage of the camera body caused by collision.

[0064] The width of the first light hole 510 is a1 (such as Figure 1 a1 in the figure), and the length of the first light hole 510 is b1 (such as Figure 1 b1 in the figure), the width of the second light hole 520 is a2 (such as Figure 1 a2 in the figure), and the length of the second light hole 520 is b2 (such as Figure 1The values of a1 / b1 and a2 / b2 satisfy: 0.25≤(a1 / b1)×(a2 / b2)≤1. For example, the value of (a1 / b1)×(a2 / b2) can be one of 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, and 0.9, or the value of (a1 / b1)×(a2 / b2) can be any value in the range of greater than or equal to 0.25 and less than or equal to 1.

[0065] In this way, the value of a1 / b1 is used to control the length and width of the first light passing hole 510. If the value of a1 / b1 is too small, the first light passing hole 510 will be too narrow in the first direction, which is not conducive to the processing of the first light passing hole 510. If the value of a1 / b1 is too large, the first light passing hole 510 will occupy too much space in the first direction, which will cause the shell 500 to be larger, thereby increasing the space occupation of the camera module 30.

[0066] In addition, the value of a2 / b2 is used to control the length and width of the second light passing hole 520. If the value of a2 / b2 is too small, the second light passing hole 520 will be too narrow in the first direction, which is not conducive to the processing of the second light passing hole 520. If the value of a2 / b2 is too large, the second light passing hole 520 will occupy too much space in the first direction, which will also cause the shell 500 to be larger, thereby increasing the space occupation of the camera module 30.

[0067] Further, by making 0.25≤(a1 / b1)×(a2 / b2)≤1, the size of the first light passing hole 510 and the second light passing hole 520 in the length direction and the width direction can be limited, thereby reducing the space occupation of the first light passing hole 510 and the second light passing hole 520 on the shell 500, and further reducing the space occupation of the camera module 30 on the basis of ensuring the processability of the first light passing hole 510 and the second light passing hole 520.

[0068] Reference Figures 3 to 5 In some embodiments, the camera body can include a lens assembly 100, a reflection assembly 200, a zoom assembly 300, and a photosensitive element 400, all of which are disposed in the accommodation cavity 530. The lens assembly 100 can include a first lens 110 or a second lens 120, the first lens 110 is disposed in the first light passing hole 510, and the second lens 120 is disposed in the second light passing hole 520. The reflection assembly 200 is used to reflect the light emitted by the first lens 110 and the second lens 120 to the zoom assembly 300, and the zoom assembly 300 is used to transmit the light reflected by the reflection assembly 200 to the photosensitive element 400.

[0069] In some embodiments, the lens assembly 100 can further include a third lens (not shown in the figure), and the reflection assembly 200 can be configured to reflect the light emitted by the first lens 110, the second lens 120, or the third lens.

[0070] In some embodiments, when the camera module 30 is installed on the electronic device, the optical axes 320 of the first lens 110 and the second lens 120 can be parallel to the thickness direction of the electronic device. The first lens 110 and the second lens 120 can be arranged towards the back cover 20 of the electronic device, and the light can be emitted into the first lens 110 and the second lens 120 from the outside of the back cover 20.

[0071] In some embodiments, the reflection assembly 200 cannot reflect the light emitted by both the first lens 110 and the second lens 120 at the same time, but can only reflect the light emitted by one of the first lens 110 and the second lens 120. When the reflection assembly 200 reflects the light emitted by the first lens 110, the reflection assembly 200 cannot reflect the light emitted by the second lens 120, and the reflection assembly 200 can reflect the light emitted by the first lens 110 to the zoom assembly 300, so that the photosensitive element 400 can image the light emitted by the first lens 110 when the light transmitted by the zoom assembly 300 is obtained. Alternatively, when the reflection assembly 200 reflects the light emitted by the second lens 120, the reflection assembly 200 cannot reflect the light emitted by the first lens 110, and the reflection assembly 200 can reflect the light emitted by the second lens 120 to the zoom assembly 300, so that the photosensitive element 400 can image the light emitted by the second lens 120 when the light transmitted by the zoom assembly 300 is obtained.

[0072] The present application provides a camera module 30, and the reflection assembly 200 in the camera module 30 can reflect the light emitted by the first lens 110 or the second lens 120 to the zoom assembly 300, and then the zoom assembly 300 can project the light emitted by the reflection assembly 200 to the photosensitive element 400, so that the first lens 110 and the second lens 120 can share the same photosensitive element 400 for imaging, thereby reducing the number of photosensitive elements 400 while ensuring the imaging quality of the first lens 110 and the second lens 120, and further reducing the volume and space occupation of the camera module 30 while reducing the total number of parts of the camera module 30, and further reducing the internal space occupation of the electronic device and improving the utilization rate of the internal space of the electronic device when the camera module 30 of the present application is installed on the electronic device.

[0073] Reference Figures 3 to 5In some embodiments, the first lens 110 and the second lens 120 can also share the same zoom assembly 300 and the reflection assembly 200, so as to reduce the number of zoom assemblies 300 and reflection assemblies 200, and further reduce the total number of components of the camera module 30, so as to help reduce the volume of the camera module 30, and further reduce the space occupation of the camera module 30, and the manufacturing cost of the camera module 30.

[0074] In some embodiments, the focal length of the first lens 110 and the second lens 120 can be the same or different, which is not limited in the present application.

[0075] Reference is made to FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 3. Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the contour of the first light passing hole 510 can be circular, elliptical or capsule-shaped. The contour of the second light passing hole 520 can also be circular, elliptical or capsule-shaped. The contour of the first light passing hole 510 and the contour of the second light passing hole 520 can be the same, for example, the contour of the first light passing hole 510 and the contour of the second light passing hole 520 can both be capsule-shaped as shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 3. Figure 1 In the case that the contour of the first light passing hole 510 and the contour of the second light passing hole 520 are the same, the size of the first light passing hole 510 and the size of the second light passing hole 520 can be different, for example, the size of the first light passing hole 510 can be larger than the size of the second light passing hole 520.

[0076] Reference is made to FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 3. Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the reflection assembly 200 can include a first reflection member 210 and a driving member 220. The driving member 220 is used to drive the first reflection member 210 to reciprocate between the first lens 110 and the second lens 120, and the first reflection member 210 is used to reflect the light emitted by the first lens 110 or the second lens 120 to the zoom assembly 300.

[0077] In this way, the reflection assembly 200 can include the first reflection member 210 and the driving member 220, and the first reflection member 210 is driven to move between the first lens 110 and the second lens 120 by using the driving member 220, so that when the first reflection member 210 is driven to move to the first lens 110 by the driving member 220, the first reflection member 210 reflects the light emitted by the first lens 110 to the zoom assembly 300, and when the first reflection member 210 is driven to move to the second lens 120 by the driving member 220, the first reflection member 210 reflects the light emitted by the second lens 120 to the zoom assembly 300, so that the light emitted by the first lens 110 or the second lens 120 can be reflected by only one first reflection member 210, the number of reflection members is reduced, the number of components in the first reflection assembly 200 is reduced, the space occupation of the first reflection assembly 200 is reduced, and the space occupation of the camera module 30 is reduced.

[0078] In addition, since the light emitted by the first lens 110 and the second lens 120 is reflected by one first reflection member 210, the number of first reflection members 210 is reduced, and the material cost of the first reflection assembly 200 is reduced.

[0079] In some embodiments, the driving member 220 can be a linear motor for driving the first reflection member 210 to move between the first lens 110 and the second lens 120. When the camera module 30 is installed in an electronic device, the driving member 220 can be electrically connected to a control unit of the electronic device, and the control unit can control the driving member 220 to work according to the shooting requirement of the electronic device, so that the driving member 220 drives the first reflection member 210 to move to the first lens 110 or the second lens 120.

[0080] In some embodiments, the first reflection member 210 can be a plane mirror or a reflection prism, so as to reflect the light emitted by the first lens 110 or the second lens 120 to the zoom assembly 300.

[0081] Reference Figures 3 to 4 In some embodiments, the reflection assembly 200 and the zoom assembly 300 are arranged in a first direction, and the lens assembly 100 and the zoom assembly 300 are arranged in a second direction (for example, the Z direction) perpendicular to the first direction. Figure 3 The first lens 110 and the second lens 120 in the lens assembly 100 can be arranged in the second direction.

[0082] By arranging the reflection assembly 200 and the zoom assembly 300 in the first direction, the light emitted by the lens assembly 100 can be reflected to the zoom assembly 300 by the reflection assembly 200.

[0083] If the camera module 30 is arranged in an electronic device, the second direction can be the thickness direction of the electronic device, that is, the lens assembly 100 and the zoom assembly 300 are arranged in the thickness direction of the electronic device. When the lens assembly 100 is arranged towards the back cover 20 of the electronic device, the zoom assembly 300 is arranged close to the inside of the electronic device relative to the lens assembly 100.

[0084] Reference Figures 3 to 4 In some embodiments, the first lens 110 and the second lens 120 are arranged in the first direction, and the zoom assembly 300 has an optical axis 320 extending in the first direction. In the second direction, the orthographic projection of the optical center of the first lens 110 and the orthographic projection of the optical center of the second lens 120 are both located on the extension line of the optical axis 320.

[0085] In this way, by arranging the first lens 110 and the second lens 120 in the first direction, and making the orthographic projection of the optical center of the first lens 110 and the orthographic projection of the optical center of the second lens 120 both fall on the optical axis 320, the first lens 110, the second lens 120, and the zoom assembly 300 can be arranged to avoid occupying space in directions other than the first direction, thereby reducing the space occupied by the first lens 110 and the second lens 120.

[0086] Reference Figure 1 And Figure 3 In some embodiments, when the camera module 30 is arranged in an electronic device, the first direction can be the width extension direction of the electronic device, and the first lens 110 and the second lens 120 in the lens assembly 100 can be arranged in the width direction of the electronic device.

[0087] Reference Figure 3 In some embodiments, the photosensitive element 400, the zoom assembly 300, and the reflection assembly 200 are arranged in the first direction, the photosensitive element 400 is located on the side of the zoom assembly 300 away from the reflection assembly 200, and the photosensitive surface of the photosensitive element 400 is perpendicular to the first direction. In this way, by arranging the photosensitive element 400 on the side of the zoom assembly 300 away from the reflection assembly 200, and making the photosensitive surface of the photosensitive element 400 perpendicular to the first direction, the light reflected by the reflection assembly 200 to the zoom assembly 300 can be directly transmitted to the photosensitive surface of the photosensitive element 400, thereby simplifying the structure of the camera module 30 and reducing the manufacturing cost of the camera module 30.

[0088] When the camera module 30 is arranged in an electronic device, the first direction can be the width direction of the electronic device, and when the photosensitive surface of the photosensitive element 400 is perpendicular to the first direction, the photosensitive surface can extend in the thickness direction of the electronic device. The thickness of the electronic device will limit the size of the photosensitive surface of the photosensitive element 400, thereby affecting the imaging quality of the camera module 30.

[0089] Reference Figure 4 In some embodiments, the photosensitive element 400 and the zoom assembly 300 are arranged along a second direction (e.g., the middle Z direction) and the photosensitive element 400 is located on a side of the zoom assembly 300 away from the lens assembly 100. The photosensitive surface of the photosensitive element 400 is parallel to the first direction. The camera module 30 can further include a second reflecting element 230 located between the photosensitive element 400 and the zoom assembly 300. The second reflecting element 230 is configured to reflect light transmitted by the zoom assembly 300 to the photosensitive element 400. Figure 4 In this way, based on the photosensitive element 400 being arranged on a side of the zoom assembly 300 away from the reflecting assembly 200, the photosensitive element 400 is further arranged on a side of the zoom assembly 300 away from the lens assembly 100, and the photosensitive surface of the photosensitive element 400 is parallel to the first direction. In the case where the second reflecting element 230 is used, light transmitted by the zoom assembly 300 can be transmitted to the photosensitive element 400 via the second reflecting element 230. Since the photosensitive surface of the photosensitive element 400 is perpendicular to the second direction, if the second direction is the thickness direction of the electronic device, the area of the photosensitive surface of the photosensitive element 400 can be increased without increasing the thickness of the electronic device, thereby improving the imaging effect.

[0090] When the camera module 30 is arranged in an electronic device, the second direction can be the thickness direction of the electronic device. When the photosensitive surface of the photosensitive element 400 is perpendicular to the second direction, the photosensitive surface can be parallel to the surface on which the back cover 20 is arranged. The size of the photosensitive surface is no longer limited by the thickness of the electronic device, so as to increase the size of the photosensitive surface of the photosensitive element 400, thereby helping to improve the imaging quality of the camera module 30.

[0091] In some embodiments, the second reflecting element 230 can also be a planar mirror or a reflecting prism, so as to reflect light transmitted by the zoom assembly 300 to the photosensitive element 400.

[0093] In some embodiments, b1 and b2 satisfy 1≤b1 / b2≤3. For example, the value of b1 / b2 can be one of 1, 1.5, 2, 2.2, 2.5, 2.6, and 2.9. Alternatively, the value of b1 / b2 can be any value in the range of greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to 3. Figure 1 a1 and a2 satisfy 1≤a1 / a2≤3. For example, the value of a1 / a2 can be one of 1, 1.5, 2, 2.2, 2.5, 2.6, and 2.9. Alternatively, the value of a1 / a2 can be any value in the range of greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to 3.

[0094] a1 and a2 satisfy 1≤a1 / a2≤3. For example, the value of a1 / a2 can be one of 1, 1.5, 2, 2.2, 2.5, 2.6, and 2.9. Alternatively, the value of a1 / a2 can be any value in the range of greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to 3.

[0095] Thus, by controlling b1 / b2 in a range greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to 3, and controlling a1 / a2 in a range greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to 3, the size of b1 can be at least greater than or equal to b2, so that the first light passing hole 510 has more light than the second light passing hole 520, and the second lens 120 disposed in the second light passing hole 520 is used as a telephoto lens compared to the first lens 110 disposed in the first light passing hole 510.

[0096] If the value of a1 / a2 is too small, and the ratio of b1 / b2 is too small, the light passing amount of the first light passing hole 510 and the second light passing hole 520 will be approximately the same, resulting in the focal length of the first lens 110 and the second lens 120 being the same, and the functional area being consistent, which cannot distinguish between long focal length and short focal length, resulting in the function of the camera module 30 being too single. If the value of a1 / a2 is too large, and the ratio of b1 / b2 is too large, the size difference between the first light passing hole 510 and the second light passing hole 520 will be too large, which will increase the occupied area of the first light passing hole 510 and the second light passing hole 520 on the shell 500 of the camera module 30, thereby increasing the volume of the shell 500, and further increasing the space occupation of the camera module 30.

[0097] Reference Figure 1 In some embodiments, a1 and b1 satisfy 0.5≤(a1+a2) / b1≤2. For example, the value of (a1+a2) / b1 can be one of 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 1.3, 1.6, and 1.8, or the value of (a1+a2) / b1 can be any value in a range greater than or equal to 0.5 and less than or equal to 2.

[0098] Thus, by controlling the value of (a1+a2) / b1 in a range greater than or equal to 0.5 and less than or equal to 2, if the value of (a1+a2) / b1 is too small, the sum of the widths of the first light passing hole 510 and the second light passing hole 520 in the width direction will be too small, resulting in the first light passing hole 510 and the second light passing hole 520 being too narrow, which is not conducive to the processing of the first light passing hole 510 and the second light passing hole 520, and if the value of (a1+a2) / b1 is too large, the sum of the widths of the first light passing hole 510 and the second light passing hole 520 in the width direction will be too large, resulting in the first light passing hole 510 and the second light passing hole 520 being too wide, which will occupy a large space on the shell 500, thereby increasing the space occupation of the camera module 30.

[0099] Reference Figure 1 In some embodiments, the first light passing hole 510 and the second light passing hole 520 are disposed apart along a first direction (e.g., the X direction in the middle). Figure 1 In some embodiments, the first light passing hole 510 and the second light passing hole 520 are disposed apart along a first direction (e.g., the X direction in the middle). Figure 1The intermediate distance d satisfies 0.2 mm < d < 5 mm. For example, the value of d can be one of 0.3 mm, 0.9 mm, 1.5 mm, 1.9 mm, 2.3 mm, 2.8 mm, 3.1 mm, 3.7 mm, 4.6 mm, and 4.8 mm. Alternatively, the value of d can be any value in the range of greater than or equal to 0.2 mm and less than or equal to 5 mm.

[0100] In this way, by controlling the distance between the first light passing hole 510 and the second light passing hole 520 to be in the range of greater than 0.2 mm and less than 5 mm, it is possible to avoid the situation that the distance between the first light passing hole 510 and the second light passing hole 520 is too small, which is not conducive to the processing of the first light passing hole 510 and the second light passing hole 520, and it is also possible to avoid the situation that the distance between the first light passing hole 510 and the second light passing hole 520 is too small, which leads to a decrease in the strength of the shell 500 between the first light passing hole 510 and the second light passing hole 520. In addition, it is also possible to avoid the situation that the distance between the first light passing hole 510 and the second light passing hole 520 is too large, which leads to the first light passing hole 510 and the second light passing hole 520 occupying a larger area on the camera module 30, and thus it is possible to reduce the area occupied by the first light passing hole 510 and the second light passing hole 520 on the shell 500 of the camera module 30 on the basis of ensuring the processability of the first light passing hole 510 and the second light passing hole 520, and thus it is possible to reduce the space occupancy of the camera module 30.

[0101] Reference Figure 1 In some embodiments, the first light passing hole 510 and the second light passing hole 520 are in the same plane. In this way, by arranging the first light passing hole 510 and the second light passing hole 520 on the same plane of the shell 500, it is possible to avoid the situation that there is a height difference between the first light passing hole 510 and the second light passing hole 520 in the axial direction of the light passing hole, and thus it is possible to ensure the surface flatness of the camera module 30 at the positions corresponding to the first light passing hole 510 and the second light passing hole 520.

[0102] If the camera module 30 is arranged in an electronic device, the first light passing hole 510 and the second light passing hole 520 can be located on the same surface, which can improve the surface flatness of the electronic device at the position of the camera module 30, and thus it is possible to improve the surface flatness of the electronic device and improve the user experience of the electronic device.

[0103] Reference Figures 3 to 4 In some embodiments, the zoom assembly 300 can include a plurality of lenses 310 arranged at intervals in the first direction. The optical axis 320 of each lens 310 can coincide, and the optical axis 320 of each lens 310 can coincide to form the optical axis 320 of the zoom assembly 300.

[0104] In this way, the zoom assembly 300 can include a plurality of lenses 310 arranged in a first direction, so as to avoid occupying space in other directions except the first direction, and to realize zooming of the first lens 110 and the second lens 120 by a set of lenses 310, thereby reducing the number of zoom assemblies 300 and simplifying the structure of the camera module 30.
