Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of camera equipment technology, specifically to an ultra-thin image-stabilized camera module. Background Technology

[0002] A camera module is a modular product integrating components such as a camera, lens, image sensor, and digital signal processor. Its working principle is as follows: light from the subject passes through the lens, where infrared light is filtered out by a filter, and the visible light portion is projected onto the CMOS image sensor chip. The light signal is converted into an electrical signal by a photodiode, and then the analog signal is converted into a digital signal by an analog-to-digital converter (A / D). After preliminary processing, the signal is output. In this way, the camera module can capture images and convert them into high-quality image data. However, in current technology, when a camera module lacks image stabilization, especially in low-light environments or when shooting distant targets, the risk of image blurring increases significantly. Even minor shaking can lead to unclear images. Furthermore, the lack of quick-release functionality means that replacing the camera module or accessories may require more time and effort, and may even necessitate the use of tools for disassembly and installation, reducing the flexibility of use.

[0003] For example, the camera module disclosed in the authorized patent document with application number CN202320764875.3 includes a board body, a control module board, and a mounting mechanism. The control module board is mounted on the outside of the board body, and the mounting mechanism is provided on the outer wall of the control module board. A lens module is disposed inside the mounting mechanism, and a data slot is provided on the outside of the control module board. This camera module, through the mounting plate, fixing seat, fixing screw, and lens controller, allows for effective installation of the lens controller outside the mounting plate during lens protection operations. This is achieved by inserting the protective mechanism inside the fixing seat and then locking the fixing screw inside the fixing seat. This facilitates the installation of the lens controller on the mounting plate through the elastic protection of the protective mechanism, thereby effectively increasing the lateral protection capability of the lens controller and preventing damage to the lens after impact.

[0004] The aforementioned patent addresses the issue that when a camera module lacks image stabilization, especially in low-light environments or when shooting distant targets, the risk of image blurring increases significantly. Even minor shaking can lead to unclear images. Therefore, we need to provide an ultra-thin image-stabilized camera module. Utility Model Content

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution: an ultra-thin image-stabilized camera module, comprising:

[0028] Camera body 1, and protective housing 2 disposed on the surface of camera body 1;

[0029] The surface of the protective housing 2 is equipped with an energy-absorbing protection mechanism 3 for image stabilization protection of the camera body 1;

[0030] The surface of the protective housing 2 is equipped with a quick-release mechanism 4 for quick installation and removal of the camera body 1;

[0031] Specifically, an energy-absorbing protection mechanism 3 is set on the surface of the protective shell 2 to reduce image blur caused by device shaking. The energy-absorbing mechanism effectively reduces image blur during shooting by absorbing and dispersing shaking energy, thereby significantly improving image quality. The energy-absorbing mechanism not only provides image stabilization, but also protects the camera module from damage caused by accidental impacts and vibrations to a certain extent. By absorbing and dispersing energy, the energy-absorbing mechanism reduces the wear and aging rate of internal components of the camera module, thereby extending the service life of the device.

[0032] The energy absorption protection mechanism 3 includes an inner frame 31 disposed on the surface of the protective shell 2. Two inner rods 32 are fixedly installed inside the inner frame 31. Inner mounting seats 33 are slidably installed on the surfaces of the two inner rods 32. The two inner mounting seats 33 are fixedly installed on the surface of the protective shell 2. An inner fixing seat 34 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the protective shell 2. An inner piston rod 35 is fixedly installed on one side of the inner fixing seat 34. An inner piston body 36 is fixedly installed at one end of the inner piston rod 35. An inner sealing cylinder 37 is disposed on the surface of the inner piston body 36. An inner spring 38 is movably sleeved on the surface of the inner piston rod 35. The inner spring 38 is disposed between the inner fixing seat 34 and the inner sealing cylinder 37.

[0033] In this embodiment, when subjected to horizontal shaking, the inner frame 31 drives the inner mounting base 33 to slide horizontally on the inner rod 32, and the inner frame 31 drives the inner piston rod 35 to push the inner piston body 36 to move. The inner piston body 36 is located inside the inner sealing cylinder 37. Since the inner sealing cylinder 37 is filled with damping oil, when the inner piston body 36 moves inside the inner sealing cylinder 37, the damping oil flows through the flow hole 7 in the inner piston body 36, generating damping force, thereby absorbing the horizontal impact force. The function of the inner spring 38 is to reset the inner frame 31. When subjected to vertical shaking, the outer frame 51 drives the outer mounting base 5 3. The outer piston rod 52 slides horizontally, and the outer frame 51 drives the outer piston rod 55 to push the outer piston body 56 to move. The outer piston body 56 is located outside the outer sealing cylinder 57. Since the outer sealing cylinder 57 is filled with damping oil, when the outer piston body 56 moves outside the outer sealing cylinder 57, the damping oil flows through the flow hole 7 in the outer piston body 56 to generate damping force, which plays a multi-directional energy absorption and buffering role on the protective shell 2. At the same time, multiple adhesive frames 8 are set inside the protective shell 2, which can help fix the camera body 1 inside the protective shell 2, prevent it from shaking inside the protective shell 2, and play an auxiliary role in shock absorption.

[0034] The two support springs 402 can be stretched by pushing the buckle 42, so that the surface of the buckle 42 is disengaged from the clip 43 and fixed. The cover plate 41 can be rotated to realize the loading and unloading operation of the camera body 1.

[0035] It also includes an outer protective component 5, which includes an outer frame 51 disposed on the surface of the inner frame 31. Two outer rods 52 are fixedly installed inside the outer frame 51. An outer mounting seat 53 is slidably installed on the surface of each of the two outer rods 52. The two outer mounting seats 53 are fixedly installed on the surface of the inner frame 31. An outer fixing seat 54 is fixedly installed on the surface of the inner frame 31. An outer piston rod 55 is fixedly installed on one side of the outer fixing seat 54. An outer piston body 56 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the outer piston rod 55. An outer sealing cylinder 57 is provided on the surface of the outer piston body 56. An outer spring 58 is movably sleeved on the surface of the outer piston rod 55.

[0036] Specifically, when subjected to vertical shaking, the outer frame 51 drives the outer mounting base 53 to slide horizontally on the outer rod 52, and the outer frame 51 drives the outer piston rod 55 to push the outer piston body 56 to move. The outer piston body 56 is located outside the outer sealing cylinder 57. Since the outer sealing cylinder 57 is filled with damping oil, when the outer piston body 56 moves outside the outer sealing cylinder 57, the damping oil flows through the flow hole 7 in the outer piston body 56, generating damping force, which plays a multi-directional energy absorption and buffering role for the protective shell 2.

[0037] Both the outer piston body 56 and the inner piston body 36 have flow holes 7 inside, and both the outer sealing cylinder 57 and the inner sealing cylinder 37 are filled with damping oil.

[0038] Furthermore, when the outer piston body 56 moves outside the outer sealing cylinder 57, the damping oil flows through the flow hole 7 in the outer piston body 56, generating damping force.

[0039] The quick-release mechanism 4 includes a cover plate 41 hinged to the surface of the protective shell 2. A buckle 42 is installed on one side of the cover plate 41 via an elastic member 40. A strip-shaped locking strip 43 is integrally machined on one side of the protective shell 2. The protrusions on the surface of the buckle 42 engage with the locking strip 43.

[0040] It is worth noting that by pushing the buckle 42 to stretch the two support springs 402, the surface of the buckle 42 is disengaged from the locking strip 43, and the cover plate 41 can be rotated to realize the loading and unloading operation of the camera body 1.

[0041] The elastic element 40 includes two grooves 401 formed on one side of the cover plate 41. Each groove 401 has a support spring 402 snapped inside. One end of each support spring 402 is snapped onto the surface of the buckle 42. Two guide rods 403 are fixedly installed on one side of the buckle 42. The two guide rods 403 are respectively movably connected to the two support springs 402.

[0042] The two support springs 402 are used to engage the buckle 42 with the locking strip 43 to prevent the flip cover from rotating freely.

[0043] Both the surface of the cover plate 41 and the inner wall of the protective shell 2 are fixedly installed with adhesive frame 8;

[0044] Furthermore, multiple adhesive frames 8 are provided inside the protective shell 2, which can help fix the camera body 1 inside the protective shell 2, prevent it from shaking inside the protective shell 2, and also play a role in shock absorption.

[0045] A mounting plate 9 with pads is fixedly installed at the bottom of the outer frame 51, and a shielding frame 10 is fixedly installed on both the front and back of the outer frame 51.

[0046] The mounting plate 9 with pads is provided to facilitate installation with other accessories and to provide auxiliary cushioning. The shielding frame 10 is provided to enhance the aesthetics.

[0047] When the device is subjected to horizontal shaking, the inner frame 31 drives the inner mounting base 33 to slide horizontally on the inner rod 32, and the inner frame 31 drives the inner piston rod 35 to push the inner piston body 36 to move. The inner piston body 36 is located inside the inner sealing cylinder 37. Since the inner sealing cylinder 37 is filled with damping oil, when the inner piston body 36 moves inside the inner sealing cylinder 37, the damping oil flows through the flow hole 7 in the inner piston body 36, generating damping force, thereby absorbing the horizontal impact force. The function of the inner spring 38 is to reset the inner frame 31. When subjected to vertical shaking, the outer frame 51 drives the outer mounting base 53 to move horizontally. The outer rod 52 slides horizontally, and the outer frame 51 drives the outer piston rod 55 to push the outer piston body 56 to move. The outer piston body 56 is located outside the outer sealing cylinder 57. Since the outer sealing cylinder 57 is filled with damping oil, when the outer piston body 56 moves outside the outer sealing cylinder 57, the damping oil flows through the flow hole 7 in the outer piston body 56, generating damping force, which plays a multi-directional energy absorption and buffering role on the protective shell 2. At the same time, multiple adhesive frames 8 are set inside the protective shell 2, which can help fix the camera body 1 inside the protective shell 2, prevent it from shaking inside the protective shell 2, and play an auxiliary role in shock absorption.

[0048] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
