Description

A large-aperture camera has a large aperture size, so that more light can enter the camera module, shortening the shutter time, suitable for shooting moving objects, and the depth of field is shallow, which can also be used in scenes such as blurring the background and highlighting the subject. A small-aperture camera has a long shutter time, suitable for shooting tracks and star tracks, and the depth of field is deep, ensuring the clarity of objects within the multi-depth range.

[0038] DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0039] It should be noted that the embodiments and features in the present application can be combined with each other without conflict. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0040] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in the present application have the same meaning as generally understood by those skilled in the art to which the present application belongs.

[0041] In the present application, unless otherwise specified, the orientation words such as "up, down, top, bottom" are generally directed to the direction shown in the drawings, or directed to the vertical, perpendicular or gravity direction of the components themselves; similarly, for the convenience of understanding and description, "inner, outer" refers to the inner and outer relative to the contour of the components themselves, but the above orientation words are not used to limit the present application.

[0042] In order to solve the problem of poor performance of aperture driving motor in the prior art, the present application provides an aperture driving device, a camera device and an electronic equipment.

[0043] Moreover, the camera device in the present application has the aperture driving device described below. Meanwhile, the electronic equipment in the present application can be a mobile terminal such as mobile phone, notebook computer, tablet computer, etc. having the camera device.

[0044] As shown in FIGS. 1-8, the aperture driving device in the present application comprises a base assembly 10, a rotating body 20, a spring assembly 30, an abutting assembly 40, and a plurality of aperture blades 50. The base assembly 10 has a receiving cavity; at least a part of the rotating body 20 is movably arranged in the receiving cavity, and the circumferential outer wall of the rotating body 20 has a driving groove 21 extending in the circumferential direction, the two ends of the driving groove 21 in the length direction have a height difference in the axial direction of the rotating body 20; at least a part of the spring assembly 30 is arranged on the base assembly 10, and at least a part of the spring assembly 30 can be compressed in the axial direction of the rotating body 20; the spring assembly 30 is drivingly connected with the abutting assembly 40 and drives the abutting assembly 40 to move in the axial direction of the rotating body 20, and the abutting assembly 40 has an abutting end 41, at least a part of the abutting end 41 extends into the driving groove 21 and drives the rotating body 20 to rotate; the plurality of aperture blades 50 are arranged around the circumferential direction of the rotating body 20, and the aperture blades 50 are respectively connected with the base assembly 10 and the rotating body 20, and the aperture blades 50 can rotate together with the rotating body 20 relative to the base assembly 10.

[0045] When the aperture driving device in the present application is used, since the aperture driving device in the present application has the spring assembly 30 and the abutting assembly 40 drivingly connected with the spring assembly 30, and the spring assembly 30 can be compressed in the axial direction of the rotating body 20, when the spring assembly 30 switches between compression and reset, the spring assembly 30 can drive the abutting assembly 40 to move in the axial direction of the rotating body 20. At the same time, since the rotating body 20 has the driving groove 21 matched with the abutting section of the abutting assembly 40, and the two ends of the driving groove 21 in the length direction have a height difference in the axial direction of the rotating body 20, when the abutting assembly 40 is driven by the spring assembly 30, the relative movement between the abutting end 41 of the abutting assembly 40 and the driving groove 21 can be generated under the driving action of the spring assembly 30, that is, the rotating body 20 rotates relative to the abutting end 41. And with the switching of the spring assembly 30 between the compression and reset states, the rising or falling of the abutting end 41 in the axial direction of the rotating body 20 can be realized, so that the forward rotation or reverse rotation of the rotating body 20 can be realized, and then the rotating body 20 drives the aperture blades 50 to rotate to realize the adjustment of the aperture size. Therefore, the spring assembly 30 and the abutting assembly 40 in the present application replace the voice coil motor in the aperture driving device in the prior art, so compared with the prior art, the structure of the aperture driving device in the present application is simpler and will not be affected by electromagnetic interference. Therefore, the aperture driving device in the present application effectively solves the problem of poor use performance of the aperture driving motor in the prior art.

[0046] It should be noted that the axial direction of the rotating body 20 is parallel to the optical axis direction of the lens of the camera in the present application. Moreover, the present application mainly improves the power part of the aperture motor, and therefore the structure of the aperture blade 50 and the arrangement mode of the aperture blade 50 belong to the prior art and will not be described again. Of course, the aperture driving device in the present application also includes the top cover 100 and the gasket 200, the top cover 100 is located above the aperture blade 50 and covers the base assembly 10, and the gasket 200 is arranged between the aperture blade 50 and the rotating body 20.

[0047] Moreover, it should be noted that the height of the driving groove 21 can gradually decrease from the end with a higher height to the end with a lower height in the length direction of the driving groove 21 in the present application, or in other words, the height of the driving groove 21 in the axial direction of the rotating body 20 gradually decreases or gradually increases from one end to the other end in the length direction. Moreover, in order to ensure that the movement of the rotating body 20 is smoother, the extension route of the driving groove 21 can be a curve, or in other words, the driving groove 21 is a curved groove.

[0048] Of course, according to the actual use driving, the driving groove 21 can also be arranged in a multi-segment structure and there is a height difference between the two adjacent ends, so that the abutting end 41 can enter different segments of the driving groove 21 in the process of up-down movement, and then the clockwise rotation and the counterclockwise rotation of the rotating body 20 are realized.

[0049] Meanwhile, in an embodiment not shown in the present application, the two ends in the length direction of the driving groove 21 can also have the same height, and in this case, the height of the driving groove 21 can first decrease and then increase or first increase and then decrease in the process of extending from one end to the other end of the driving groove 21, or in other words, the driving groove 21 at this time can be regarded as being composed of at least one semicircular segment, so that the clockwise rotation and the counterclockwise rotation of the rotating body 20 can also be realized through the matching of the abutting end 41 and the driving groove 21 at this time.

[0050] As can be seen from the above description, the specific shape of the driving groove 21 can be improved according to the actual design requirements in the present application, as long as the clockwise rotation and the counterclockwise rotation of the rotating body 20 can be ensured.

[0051] Specifically, the spring assembly 30 comprises an SMA wire spring 31 compressed along the axial direction of the rotating body 20 after being electrified and a transmission structure 32. The SMA wire spring 31 is electrically connected with the transmission structure 32. The abutting assembly 40 is connected with the transmission structure 32, and the part of the transmission structure 32 connected with the abutting assembly 40 moves along the axial direction of the rotating body 20 with the SMA wire spring 31. By setting the transmission structure 32, the SMA wire spring 31 can be electrically conducted, so that the SMA wire spring 31 can be compressed after being electrified, and the SMA wire spring 31 can be reset after being de-energized, so as to realize the up and down movement of the abutting end 41 of the abutting assembly 40 in the axial direction of the rotating body 20. At the same time, the transmission structure 32 set in the present application can also limit the abutting assembly 40, so as to ensure that the abutting assembly 40 can only move in the axial direction of the rotating body 20, thereby realizing the rotation of the rotating body 20 under the cooperation of the abutting end 41 and the driving groove 21.

[0052] Specifically, the transmission structure 32 comprises an upper pressing piece 321 and a lower pressing piece 322. The abutting assembly 40 is connected with the upper pressing piece 321. The SMA wire spring 31 is electrically connected with the upper pressing piece 321 and the lower pressing piece 322 respectively, and the upper pressing piece 321 and the lower pressing piece 322 are arranged at intervals in the axial direction of the rotating body 20. By setting the upper pressing piece 321 and the lower pressing piece 322, the short circuit of the SMA wire spring 31 can be effectively avoided, and in the actual movement process, the SMA wire drives the upper pressing piece 321 to move, thereby driving the abutting end 41 of the abutting assembly 40 to move. Of course, in the present application, according to different actual design requirements, the SMA wire spring 31 can also drive the lower pressing piece 322 to move, and at this time the abutting assembly 40 is connected with the lower pressing piece 322.

[0053] Optionally, the transmission structure 32 further comprises an elastic piece 323 and a welding end foot 324. One end of the elastic piece 323 is connected with the end of the upper pressing piece 321 away from the SMA wire spring 31, and the other end of the elastic piece 323 is connected with the welding end foot 324. By setting in this way, during the movement of the upper pressing piece 321 driven by the SMA wire spring 31, since the upper pressing piece 321 is connected with the welding end foot 324 through the elastic piece 323, the deformation of the elastic piece 323 can ensure that the upper pressing piece 321 can always be electrically connected with the welding end foot 324 and the SMA wire spring 31, thereby ensuring the use performance and stability of the aperture driving device.

[0054] Of course, in the present application, the lower pressing piece can also be connected with different welding end feet, or the elastic piece and the lower pressing piece are respectively connected with different welding end feet.

[0055] Preferably, the transmission structure 32 further comprises a positioning column 325, the positioning column 325 is close to the rotating body 20 in the radial direction of the rotating body 20 relative to the upper pressing sheet 321 and the lower pressing sheet 322, and the abutting assembly 40 is sleeved on the positioning column 325 and can slide along the axial direction of the positioning column 325. By arranging the positioning column 325, the movement of the abutting assembly 40 can be further limited, that is, it is ensured that the abutting assembly 40 can only move along the axial direction of the positioning column 325, so that the driving accuracy of the aperture driving device is ensured. Further preferably, the axial direction of the positioning column 325 is parallel to the compression direction of the SMA wire spring 31.

[0056] Specifically, the transmission structure 32 further comprises a mounting block 326 and a reset spring 327, the mounting block 326 is arranged on the circumferential side wall of the base assembly 10, and both ends of the positioning column 325 are connected with the mounting block 326 respectively; the reset spring 327 is sleeved on the positioning column 325, one end of the reset spring 327 is connected with the abutting assembly 40, and the other end of the reset spring 327 abuts against the mounting block 326. By arranging the mounting block 326, the stability of the upper pressing sheet 321, the lower pressing sheet 322 and the SMA wire spring 31 can be effectively ensured, and the transmission structure 32 can be more easily mounted on the base assembly 10. By arranging the reset spring 327, not only can the reset force be provided for the abutting assembly 40 after the SMA wire spring 31 is powered off, but also the abutting assembly 40 can be supported to some extent, so that the stability of the abutting assembly 40 is ensured.

[0057] Optionally, the SMA wire spring 31 is electrically connected with one end of the upper pressing sheet 321 away from the positioning column 325 and one end of the lower pressing sheet 322 away from the positioning column 325 respectively, and the upper pressing sheet 321 and the lower pressing sheet 322 are respectively provided with a bending structure 33 corresponding in the length direction, one end of the upper pressing sheet 321 connected with the SMA wire spring 31 is close to the rotating body 20 relative to one end of the upper pressing sheet 321 connected with the positioning column 325, and one end of the lower pressing sheet 322 connected with the SMA wire spring 31 is close to the rotating body 20 relative to one end of the lower pressing sheet 322 connected with the positioning column 325. By arranging in this way, the SMA wire spring 31 can be effectively avoided from protruding outwardly from the circumferential side wall of the base assembly 10, so that the internal structure of the aperture driving device is more compact.

[0058] In one specific embodiment of the present application, the abutting assembly 40 comprises a mounting base 42 and a needle 43, the mounting base 42 has a mounting cavity, the mounting base 42 is connected with the transmission structure 32, and the end of the mounting base 42 away from the transmission structure 32 has a mounting hole communicating with the mounting cavity; one end of the needle 43 is located in the mounting cavity, and the other end of the needle 43 is the abutting end 41 and extends out of the mounting cavity through the mounting hole. Preferably, the abutting assembly 40 further comprises an abutting spring arranged in the mounting cavity, one end of the abutting spring abuts against the mounting base 42, and the other end of the abutting spring abuts against the needle 43. By arranging the abutting spring, it can be ensured that the abutting end 41 of the needle 43 can always abut against the driving groove 21, thereby ensuring the use performance of the aperture driving device. Moreover, since the aperture driving device in the present application further comprises a gear assembly 60, the gear assembly 60 is arranged on the circumferential inner side wall of the base assembly 10 opposite to the spring assembly 30, and the circumferential outer side wall of the rotating body 20 has a gear rack 22 cooperating with the gear assembly 60. Therefore, at this time, the abutting spring can abut against the rotating body 20 through the abutting end 41 of the needle 43, thereby ensuring that the gear rack 22 on the rotating body 20 is engaged with the gear assembly 60. During the rotation of the rotating body 20, different teeth of the gear assembly 60 and the gear rack 22 are engaged, thereby effectively ensuring the stability of the rotation of the rotating body 20. At the same time, the cooperation of the gear assembly 60 and the gear rack 22 can also realize the limiting effect of the rotating body 20 in the axial direction, thereby avoiding the deflection of the rotating body 20 in the axial direction, i.e., ensuring that the axial direction of the rotating body 20 is always parallel to the optical axis direction.

[0059] Optionally, the mounting base 42 can comprise a needle sleeve and a body part, and the needle sleeve is arranged inside the body part, and the body part is sleeved on the positioning column 325. Meanwhile, one end of the needle 43 is arranged inside the needle sleeve, and the other end extends out through the mounting hole of the needle sleeve. The needle sleeve and the body part can also be fixed through dispensing. In order to ensure the stability between the abutting spring and the needle 43, at least a part of the abutting spring can be sleeved on the needle 43, and the circumferential outer side wall of the needle 43 has an annular protrusion for abutting against the abutting spring.

[0060] Preferably, the aperture driving device further comprises at least two rollers 70, the two rollers 70 are arranged on both sides of the gear assembly 60 around the circumferential inner side wall of the base assembly 10, and the axial inner side wall of the base assembly 10 is provided with different mounting grooves 11 corresponding to different rollers 70. Since there is a gap between the rotating body 20 and the circumferential inner side wall of the base assembly 10 in the actual assembly process, the lateral distance between the rotating body 20 and the base assembly 10 can be effectively reduced by arranging the rollers 70. Further preferably, the two rollers 70 are symmetrically arranged about the gear assembly 60; and the distance from the roller 70 to the gear assembly 60 is less than the distance from the roller 70 to the spring assembly 30.

[0061] And, in the embodiment, the axis direction of the rotating shaft extends along the Z axis direction, and the line connecting the spring assembly 30 and the gear assembly 60 can be regarded as approximately parallel to the X axis. And the line connecting the two rollers 70 can be regarded as approximately parallel to the Y axis. Therefore, the abutting action of the ejector pin 43 on the rotating body 20 can also prevent the rotating body 20 from being deflected and overturned in the X axis direction. And the action of the two rollers 70 can prevent the rotating body 20 from being deflected and overturned in the Y axis direction.
