Detailed Description
The technical solution of the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The advantages and features of the present invention will become more apparent from the following description. It is to be noted that the drawings are in a very simplified form and are not to precise scale, which is merely for the purpose of facilitating and distinctly claiming the embodiments of the present invention. Similarly, if the method described herein comprises a series of steps, the order in which these steps are presented herein is not necessarily the only order in which these steps may be performed, and some of the described steps may be omitted and/or some other steps not described herein may be added to the method. Although elements in one drawing may be readily identified as such in other drawings, the present disclosure does not identify each element as being identical to each other in every drawing for clarity of description.
Example one
As shown in fig. 1, the present embodiment provides an imaging module, including:
a moved element 30, the moved element 30 being a lens group, a lens sheet or an aperture;
a flexible connecting member 40, the connecting member 40 including a first end and a second end, the first end being connected to the moved element 30;
a piezoelectric element 20 including a movable end and a fixed end, the movable end being connected to the second end; in the energized state of the piezoelectric element 20, the movable end is warped upward or downward with respect to the fixed end to move the moved element 30;
the supporting block 50 is used for supporting and fixing the piezoelectric element 20, and the fixed end is fixed on the supporting block 50;
and an external signal connection terminal electrically connected to the electrode of the piezoelectric element 20.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 2, the piezoelectric element 20 includes a piezoelectric stack structure in which a support layer 24 is located on the support layer 24, the piezoelectric stack structure includes a piezoelectric film 23 and an insulating layer 25 that are stacked in sequence from bottom to top, a first electrode 21 and a second electrode 22 are respectively provided on upper and lower surfaces of the piezoelectric film 23, the first electrode 21 and the second electrode 22 are respectively connected to a first terminal 251 and a second terminal 252, and the first terminal 251 and the second terminal 252 are both located in the insulating layer 25.
In the present invention, the first lead 251 and the second lead 252 may be both located on the bottom surface of the piezoelectric element 20, that is, in the support layer 24, or the first lead 251 and the second lead 252 may be located on the top surface and the bottom surface of the piezoelectric element 20, respectively, which is not limited in the present invention. The piezoelectric element 20 is not limited to an integral structure having the first and second terminals, but may be a structure in which the first and second terminals are not formed, that is, the piezoelectric element 20 includes a support layer 24, a piezoelectric film 23, an insulating layer 25, and first and second electrodes 21 and 22 on upper and lower surfaces of the piezoelectric film 23, and the external signal connection terminal needs to be connected to the first and second electrodes 21 and 22 by additionally manufacturing a conductive plug.
Further, as shown in fig. 2, the first terminal 251 and the second terminal 252 are both located on the top surface of the piezoelectric element 20 and serve as the external signal connection terminals. The first lead-out terminal 251 and the second lead-out terminal 252 are electrically connected to the circuit board 10 by a lead wire 76, respectively, so that the circuit board 10 can apply a voltage to the first electrode 21 and the second electrode 22 of the piezoelectric element 20 to generate a voltage difference between the upper surface and the lower surface of the piezoelectric film 23, thereby causing the piezoelectric film 23 to contract, and since the support layer 24 cannot stretch, the entire piezoelectric element 20 may be warped upwards or downwards when energized (the warping direction, the warping degree depends on the voltage applied to the upper surface and the lower surface of the piezoelectric film 23). The piezoelectric film 23 is made of a piezoelectric material that can be deformed when energized, such as quartz crystal, aluminum nitride, zinc oxide, lead zirconate titanate, barium titanate, lithium gallate, lithium germanate, or titanium germanate.
It should be understood that the present invention is not limited to directly connecting the first and second terminals 251 and 252 to the circuit board 10 by means of the leads 76, but an electrical connection terminal may be provided on the top surface of the supporting block 50, the first and second terminals 251 and 252 and the electrical connection terminal are electrically connected by means of leads, and then the electrical connection terminal on the top surface of the supporting block 50 and the circuit board 10 are electrically connected by means of another interconnection structure (e.g., a lead or a conductive plug), so that the length of the leads 76 can be shortened.
As shown in fig. 3a, the upper surface of the movable end of the piezoelectric element 20 is connected to the moved element 30 through a flexible connecting member 40. The connecting member 40 includes: a first portion 41, a second portion 42, and a middle portion between the first portion 41 and the second portion 42, wherein the first end is at least a portion of the first portion 41, the second portion 42 is a portion of the second end, the middle portion 43 is a horizontal strip structure, and the first portion 41 and the second portion 42 further have a vertical beam, and the first end and the second end are connected to the middle portion 43 through the vertical beam. The width and thickness of the middle portion 43 satisfy predetermined values, so that the middle portion 43 has flexibility, and the middle portion 43 can be deformed when the first end and the second end are subjected to different pulling or pushing forces.
It will be understood that the values of the width and thickness of the intermediate portion 43 are related to the material of the intermediate portion 43, and that, when a different material is chosen for the intermediate portion 43, the values will vary accordingly, as long as flexibility of the intermediate portion 43 is ensured.
In the present invention, the middle portion 43 is not limited to a strip-shaped structure, but may also be an arc shape, a wave shape, etc.; the first and second portions 41 and 42 are not limited to the connection of the middle portion 43 with the vertical beams, and the invention is not limited thereto. Further, the first and second portions 41 and 42 may also have flexibility, so that the connecting member 40 has flexibility as a whole, and the deformation capability of the connecting member 40 may be increased.
As shown in fig. 3b and 3c, the connecting member 40 is not limited to be a separate structure from the piezoelectric element 20, and the connecting member 40 and the piezoelectric element 20 may be an integral structure, that is, the connecting member 40 and the piezoelectric element 20 are made of the same material, are located at the same height, and are left and right parts of the same structure, and are separated by an insulating structure, so that the connecting member 40 is not affected when a voltage is applied to the electrodes of the piezoelectric element 20.
It should be understood that the connecting member 40 and the piezoelectric element 20 may be located at different heights when they are a unitary structure, and the invention is not limited thereto.
As shown in fig. 4, when the piezoelectric element 20 is powered on, the fixed end of the piezoelectric element 20 disposed on the supporting block 50 is fixed, and the movable end is warped upwards or downwards, so that the moved element 30 can be raised or lowered integrally, thereby changing the vertical position of the moved element 30 and realizing optical auto-focusing.
As shown in fig. 5, after the autofocus is completed, when necessary, the voltage applied to the piezoelectric element 20 on the side of the moved element 30 may be changed, so as to tilt the imaging sensor element 30, thereby changing the angle of the moved element 30, and correcting the optical warping angle of the moved element 30, thereby achieving optical anti-shake.
The piezoelectric element 20 and the moved element 30 are flexibly connected through the connecting member 40, so that the risk of deformation of the moved element 30 due to an external force or delamination from the piezoelectric element 20 is reduced (if the movable end of the piezoelectric element 20 is directly connected to the moved element 30, when the movable end of the piezoelectric element 20 is warped, if the connection between the piezoelectric element 20 and the moved element 30 is not firm, there is a risk of delamination, and if the connection is too firm, there is a risk of deformation of the moved element 30).
Referring to fig. 1, the edge of the moved element 30 is connected to the movable end of the piezoelectric element 20, so that the piezoelectric element 20 can control the movement of the moved element 30 more easily, and the movement of the moved element 30 is more stable. In the present invention, the movable end of the piezoelectric element 20 is not limited to be located at the edge of the moved element 30, and may be connected to the center or the center-to-edge region of the moved element 30.
The supporting block 50 is connected with the fixed end of the piezoelectric element 20 by adhesive or through a dry film; the movable end of the piezoelectric element 20 is connected with the connecting piece 40 by adhesive or through a dry film; the connecting member 40 is bonded to the moved member 30 by an adhesive or by a dry film.
Referring to fig. 1, the moved element 30 is, for example, a square, the piezoelectric elements 20 are a pair, a connecting line between the pair of piezoelectric elements 20 is used as a rotation axis, and the moved element 30 can rotate along the rotation axis to change the inclination angle in one direction. Referring to fig. 6, the moved element 30 is, for example, square, two pairs of the piezoelectric elements 20 are distributed on four sides of the moved element 30, a connecting line between each pair of the piezoelectric elements 20 is used as a rotation axis, and the total of two rotation axes is two, and the moved element 30 can rotate along the two rotation axes to change the inclination angles in two directions.
As shown in fig. 7, the moved element 30 is, for example, circular, the piezoelectric elements 20 are in three pairs, the three pairs of piezoelectric elements 20 are evenly distributed in the circumferential direction, the connecting line between each pair of piezoelectric elements 20 is used as a rotation axis, the total of three rotation axes are provided, and the moved element 30 can rotate along the three rotation axes to change the inclination angles in three directions. Of course, the piezoelectric elements 20 may also be four pairs, five pairs or six pairs, each pair of piezoelectric elements 20 is not limited to be symmetrically arranged along the center of the moved element 30, and may also be asymmetrically arranged, the more the number of pairs of piezoelectric elements 20, the more the rotation axis of the moved element 30 may be increased, so as to implement multi-dimensional rotation, the moved element 30 is also not limited to be square or circular, and may also be in other shapes, and the present invention is not limited.
It is understood that the paired piezoelectric elements 20 are beneficial to control the movement of the moved element 30, and in fact, the piezoelectric elements 20 may also be unpaired, for example, three piezoelectric elements 20 are uniformly distributed along the circumference of the moved element 30, and the embodiment is not illustrated.
As shown in fig. 8, the moved element 30 is, for example, square, and two opposite sides of the moved element 30 are connected to two piezoelectric elements 20, so that the two piezoelectric elements 20 are synchronously warped upwards or downwards (and the warping amplitudes are the same), so that the two piezoelectric elements 20 together support one side of the moved element 30, which can be applied to the case where the piezoelectric elements 20 are small in size and the moved element 30 is large in size, or the case where the moved element 30 is large in mass. In the present invention, the two opposite sides of the moved element 30 are not limited to the connection of two piezoelectric elements 20, and may be connected to three, four, five, or the like.
Further, with reference to fig. 1, the piezoelectric element 20 and the moved element 30 are located on opposite sides of the connecting member 40 in the thickness direction. As shown in fig. 9, the piezoelectric element 20 and the moved element 30 are located on the same side of the connecting member 40 in the thickness direction.
As shown in fig. 1, a pair of piezoelectric elements 20 are connected to the lower surface of the moved element 30, and as shown in fig. 10, a pair of piezoelectric elements 20 are connected to the upper surface of the moved element 30; as shown in fig. 11, one of a pair of piezoelectric elements 20 is connected to the upper surface of the moved element 30 and the other is connected to the lower surface of the moved element 30, and at this time, the heights of the supporting blocks 50 supporting the two piezoelectric elements 20 are different, but it should be understood that, when the piezoelectric elements 20 and the moved element 30 are located on the same side of the connecting member 40 (one is located on the upper side and one is located on the lower side), even though the two piezoelectric elements 20 are connected to the upper and lower surfaces of the moved element 30, respectively, the heights of the supporting blocks 50 may be the same, that is, in order to support the piezoelectric elements 20, the heights of the supporting blocks 50 may be adjusted according to the positions of the piezoelectric elements 20.
As shown in fig. 12 and 13, the piezoelectric element 20 has a pair, and two piezoelectric elements 20 of the pair of piezoelectric elements 20 are arranged to overlap. That is, the movable end of the piezoelectric element 20 is selectively connected to the side of the moved element 30 that is farther away (each piezoelectric element 20 is used to move the opposite side of the moved element 30), so that the length of the piezoelectric element 20 can be increased, and the movable end can be easily lifted even when the mass of the moved element 30 is large.
Further, as shown in fig. 14, the piezoelectric elements 20 are a pair, and the supporting block 50 corresponding to a pair of piezoelectric elements 20 is located in a space below the moved element 30. In this embodiment, the supporting block 50 and the fixed positions of the supporting block 50 and the piezoelectric element 20 are located right below the moved element 30, so that the fixed end of the piezoelectric element 20 is closer to the center of the moved element 30 than the movable end. Of course, the supporting fence 50 is not limited to be completely located under the moved element 30, but may also be partially located under the moved element 30, so that the supporting block 50 may be completely or partially covered by the moved element 30, the area occupied by the supporting block 50 may be saved, the area of the whole imaging module may be reduced, and the size reduction may be facilitated.
In the present invention, the piezoelectric element 20 is integrally located on the supporting block 50, and the movable end of the piezoelectric element extends out of the supporting block 50 to form a cantilever structure, which can be applied to the occasion that the moved element 30 needs to be lifted up or down. The piezoelectric element 20 may also be integrally located on the supporting block 50, and the movable end does not extend out of the supporting block 50, forming a solid structure, which may be used in the case of lifting only the moved element 30.
Further, the material of the supporting block 50 is a dielectric material, which may be annular and disposed around the moved element 30, and may better support the piezoelectric element 20; alternatively, the support block 50 includes a plurality of sub-support blocks (not shown) distributed along the circumferential direction, and the plurality of sub-support blocks are spaced apart from or in contact with each other, so that material and weight can be saved. In the present invention, the supporting block 50 may not be annular, for example, only located on two sides or four sides of the moved element 30.
In the present invention, the first lead-out terminal 251 and the second lead-out terminal 252 are not limited to be the external signal connection terminals. For example, when the first lead-out terminal 251 and the second lead-out terminal 252 are both located on the bottom surface of the piezoelectric element 20, the third electrical connection terminal and the fourth electrical connection terminal may be located on the bottom surface of the supporting block 50 and directly face the piezoelectric element 20, and the first lead-out terminal 251 and the second lead-out terminal 252 are electrically connected to the third electrical connection terminal and the fourth electrical connection terminal by using a conductive plug. When the first lead-out terminal 251 and the second lead-out terminal 252 are respectively located on the top surface and the bottom surface of the piezoelectric element 20, the third electrical connection terminal is located on the bottom surface of the supporting block 50 and faces the piezoelectric element 20, a conductive plug is used to electrically connect the lead-out terminal (for example, the second lead-out terminal 252) located on the bottom surface with the fourth electrical connection terminal, and the first lead-out terminal 251 is used as the third electrical connection terminal.
