Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to camera module technical field, concretely relates to a kind of multi-optical lens camera module, multi-optical lens camera module and electronic equipment. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of science and technology, the types of optical lenses are increasingly rich, and lens manufacturers are also emerging in an endless stream, providing customers with more diversified choices. However, this trend has also brought new problems: the customer's sample making demand has increased sharply. When customers choose optical modules, they often have fixed choices for chips, but are hesitant about the choice of lenses. In order to meet this demand of customers, the module factory has to do a lot of sample making work, that is, a chip is matched with multiple lenses to test the module effect.

[0003] Currently, customers usually test one chip with multiple lenses during sample making. Although this sample making method can meet the diversification needs of customers, it greatly increases the workload of designers. Designers need to design corresponding module schemes for each lens and repeatedly test and adjust. At the same time, the module factory also needs to bear additional costs, including material cost, labor cost and time cost, etc.

[0004] In addition, in the existing module design and assembly process, the module factory usually matches one chip with one lens, and then designs a special CNC support to assemble into a module. Because customers have various choices of lenses, the module factory has to design different CNC supports for each lens. This "one lens one support" design method not only takes time and effort, but also increases the production cost of the module. Especially in the case of needing to respond quickly to market demand, this design method lacks flexibility and is difficult to meet the urgent sample making needs of customers.

[0005] In addition, for some electronic devices, the number of installed lenses is limited, and the types that can take photos or videos are limited, resulting in limited photo or video taking functions.

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new multi-optical lens camera shell, multi-optical lens camera module and electronic device. SUMMARY

[0007] The utility model aims at providing a kind of multi-optical lens camera module, multi-optical lens camera module and electronic device, when multi-optical lens camera shell is used as the matching device of chip and lens, the compatibility and performance of different lenses and chips can be tested.

Detailed Implementation

[0042] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments, illustrates the implementation of the technical solution of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. This utility model can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments are only for illustrating this utility model and not for limiting the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0043] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown in this embodiment, a multi-lens camera housing includes an upper cover 1 and a lower cover 2. The upper cover 1 has multiple lens mounting seats arranged sequentially from left to right for mounting lens assemblies. The lower cover 2 has a placement groove 21 for placing a module body 6. The upper cover 1 is disposed on the lower cover 2 and can slide left and right relative to the lower cover 2. By sliding the upper cover 1 left and right, each lens mounting seat on the upper cover 1 can be sequentially aligned with the placement groove 21, so that each lens assembly is aligned with the module body 6.

[0044] When the multi-optical lens camera shell is used as a matching device for chips and lenses, the multi-optical lens camera shell allows the upper cover 1 to slide relative to the lower cover 2, so that different lens mounts can be aligned with the module body (usually containing a chip) in turn. This design allows a single module body 6 to be flexibly matched with multiple lens assemblies without the need to replace the entire camera module or make complex adjustments. During the matching test of the chip and the lens assembly, it is often necessary to test the compatibility and performance of different lens assemblies with the chip. The shell design in the embodiment of the application allows quick and easy switching of lens assemblies, thereby simplifying the test process and improving test efficiency. In addition, since a single module body 6 can be reused for testing with multiple lens assemblies, it also helps to save resources.

[0045] When the multi-optical lens camera shell is used as a shell of a multi-optical lens camera module, the multi-optical lens camera module of the application can drive the upper cover 1 to slide relative to the lower cover 2 by a driving device (such as a micro drive motor, etc.), which can conveniently switch between different lens assemblies to realize the multi-optical lens function. This design allows a single camera module to cover a wider range of shooting scenarios and needs, such as ordinary, long focal, medium focal, etc. Users can quickly switch lens assemblies according to shooting needs without the need to carry multiple camera modules or make complex adjustments. This design improves the flexibility and convenience of shooting, allowing users to easily capture high-quality images in different scenarios.

[0046] As shown in Figure 3 , in one possible embodiment, the upper cover 1 is provided with three lens mounts from left to right, namely a first lens mount 11, a second lens mount 12 and a third lens mount 13. The design of the three lens mounts meets a variety of shooting needs, such as: for installing ordinary cameras (referring to a field of view (FOV) generally between 70 and 80 degrees), medium focal cameras (referring to a field of view (FOV) generally between 40 and 60 degrees), long focal cameras (referring to a field of view (FOV) generally between 30 and 40 degrees), etc., thereby improving the versatility and flexibility of the camera module.

[0047] As shown in Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, in a possible embodiment, a first positioning column 14 is arranged at the left end of the upper cover 1, and a second positioning column 15 is arranged at the right end of the upper cover 1. A third positioning column 22 and a fourth positioning column 23 are arranged in sequence from left to right in the middle of the lower cover 2. When the upper cover 1 and the lower cover 2 are overlapped, the lens assembly installed on the second lens mount 12 is located directly above the module body 6. When the upper cover 1 is slid to the right so that the first positioning column 14 is aligned with the third positioning column 22 (for example, an optical sensor can be used to detect whether the alignment is achieved), the lens assembly installed on the first lens mount 11 is located directly above the module body 6. When the upper cover 1 is slid to the left so that the second positioning column 15 is aligned with the fourth positioning column 23, the lens assembly installed on the third lens mount 13 is located directly above the module body 6. The precise alignment between the upper cover 1 and the lower cover 2 is achieved through the design of the positioning columns (including the first positioning column 14 to the fourth positioning column 23), which ensures the accurate alignment of the lens assembly with the module body 6. By sliding the upper cover 1 and aligning the positioning columns, different lens assemblies can be conveniently switched to cooperate with the module body 6, improving the convenience and accuracy of operation. This design simplifies the lens switching process, reduces the adjustment time and error, and improves the work efficiency.

[0048] As shown in FIG. 1, Figure 2 In a possible embodiment, a downwardly extending guide protrusion 16 is arranged at the bottom end of the lower cover 2 on the side away from the first positioning column 14 and the second positioning column 15; the rear end of the lower cover 2 abuts against the side wall of the guide protrusion 16 for positioning the lower cover 2. Through the cooperation of the guide protrusion 16 and the rear end of the lower cover 2, the movement range of the lower cover 2 is limited, preventing unnecessary sliding or shaking.

[0049] As shown in FIG. 1, Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 In a possible embodiment, the first lens assembly 3 is a telephoto lens, the second lens assembly 4 is a normal lens, and the third lens assembly 5 is a medium focal length lens. A variety of focal length lens assemblies are provided to meet the needs of different shooting distances and scenes. The telephoto lens is suitable for long-distance shooting, the medium focal length lens is suitable for medium-distance shooting, and the normal lens (usually referred to as a standard lens) is suitable for daily shooting, improving the applicability and flexibility of the camera module. This lens configuration allows users to select the most suitable lens assembly according to actual needs and obtain the best shooting effect.

[0050] As shown in FIG. 1, Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 9As shown, in a possible embodiment, the shape and size of the placement groove 21 are matched with the shape and size of the module body 6, for stably placing the module body 6. The shaking or movement of the module body 6 in the shell is prevented, and the stability and reliability of the camera module are improved. This design simplifies the installation process of the module body 6, and improves the assembly efficiency and accuracy.

[0051] In the embodiment of the present application, a multi-optical lens camera module includes a shell, a module body 6 and a plurality of lens assemblies. The shell is a multi-optical lens camera shell as in the embodiment of the present application, which includes an upper cover 1 and a lower cover 2.

[0052] In the embodiment of the present application, an electronic device adopts the multi-optical lens camera module as in the embodiment of the present application.

[0053] The above embodiments are the preferred embodiments of the present application, but the embodiments of the present application are not limited by the above embodiments, and any changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations and simplifications made without departing from the spirit and principles of the present application shall be equivalent replacement methods, which are all included in the protection scope of the present application.
