Detailed Description

The following detailed description of specific embodiments of the present disclosure is provided in connection with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating the present disclosure, are given by way of illustration and explanation only, not limitation.

In the present disclosure, the use of directional terms such as "inner and outer" is intended with respect to the proper contours of the respective parts, unless otherwise specified. In addition, the terms "first, second, and the like" used in the embodiments of the present disclosure are for distinguishing one element from another, and have no order or importance. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, like numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated.

As shown in fig. 1 to 3, the present disclosure provides a camera module including a lens group and a driver for driving the lens group to move in an optical axis direction. The automatic focusing and zooming are realized by adjusting the relative distance among a plurality of lenses in the lens group. The upper part of the camera module is covered with a shell 8 for protecting the driver. The driver comprises: the optical lens driving device comprises a base 3, a first carrier 1 movably arranged on the base 3 and used for mounting a first lens 100, a first driving mechanism used for driving the first carrier 1 to reciprocate along the optical axis direction, a second carrier 2 movably arranged on the first carrier 1 and used for mounting a second lens 200, and a second driving mechanism used for driving the second carrier 2 to reciprocate along the optical axis direction on the first carrier 1. That is, compared to the related art actuator having no connection relationship between carriers, the present disclosure enables the second carrier 2 disposed on the first carrier 1 to move simultaneously during the first carrier 1 is driven by the first driving mechanism to move, and enables the second carrier 2 to move independently on the first carrier 1 under the drive of the second driving mechanism, so as to further adjust the distance between the first lens 100 and the second lens 200.

Through the technical scheme, the second carrier 2 is arranged on the first carrier 1, so that when the first carrier 1 is driven by the first driving mechanism to move, the first lens 100 and the second lens 200 can be driven to move along the optical axis direction simultaneously, the rough adjustment of the automatic focusing and zooming processes is realized, the second carrier 2 arranged on the first carrier 1 can also move independently under the driving of the second driving mechanism, so that the second lens 200 is driven to continue to move along the optical axis direction, the relative distance between the first lens 100 and the second lens 200 is changed, and the fine adjustment of the focusing and zooming processes is realized on the basis of the rough adjustment. This combination of coarse and fine adjustments allows the actuator of the present disclosure to quickly complete the auto-focus and zoom process. In addition, the first carrier 1 and the second carrier 2 are integrally moved firstly, and then the second carrier 2 is driven to move independently, so that the control strategy is simpler. In addition, the technical scheme enables the second driving mechanism to be integrated on the first carrier 1, and compared with the prior art that the second driving mechanism independent of the first carrier 1 only occupies the space of the camera module, the camera module is miniaturized.

In order to improve the stability of the movement of the lens during the auto-focusing process and improve the imaging quality thereof, further referring to fig. 4 to 8, the actuator may further include a first guide assembly including two first guide rods 6 extending in the optical axis direction and penetrating through the first carrier 1, so that the first carrier 1 can be supported by the first guide rods 6 and slide along the extending direction of the first guide rods 6. The base 3 is provided with a guide bar fixing seat 31 for fixing both ends of the first guide bar 6. The first carrier 1 is provided with a first slideway 11 and a second slideway 12 for the two guide rods 6 to pass through respectively. Wherein the first slideway 11 is configured such that its cross section has a V-shaped portion tangent to the first guide bar 6 at two points, the second slideway 12 is configured such that it has a straight portion tangent to the first guide bar 6 at one point, and the first slideway 11 and the second slideway 12 abut against the respective guide bar 1 from the same side.

During the auto-focusing and zooming processes, the first carrier 1 can drive the first lens 100 and the second lens 200 to slide together along the extending direction (i.e. the optical axis direction) of the first guide bar 6 all the time. The cross section of the first slideway 11 for the first guide rod 6 to pass through on the first carrier 1 has a V-shaped portion tangent to the first guide rod 6 at two positions, so as to radially limit the first carrier 1 and avoid shaking in the sliding process. The second slideway 12 has a straight portion tangent to the first guide bar 6, so that the two first guide bars 6 can jointly support the first carrier 1, and the stability of the first guide bar 6 to support the first carrier 1 is improved. The situation that the optical axes of the first lens 100 and the second lens 200 deflect in the process of moving along with the first carrier 1 is avoided by arranging the first guide assembly, and the imaging quality is further improved.

The first slideway 11 may be a first through hole or a first slot provided along the extending direction of the first guide bar 6. For example, in fig. 4 and 5, the first runner 11 is shown as a first through hole, and in fig. 6 and 7, the first runner 11 is shown as a first slot. Likewise, the second slideway 12 may be a second through hole or a second slot provided along the extension direction of the first guide bar 6. For example, in fig. 4 and 5, the second runner 12 is shown as a second through hole. In fig. 6 and 7, the second runner 12 is shown as a second slot. The first slide 11 and the second slide 12 may also adopt a mixed arrangement of through holes and slots, for example, the first slide 11 is a first through hole, and the second slide 12 is a second slot, or the first slide 11 is a first slot, and the second slide 12 is a second through hole.

The first guide bar 6 is made of a magnetically conductive material, and the first carrier 1 is provided with at least one first magnet 13 for attracting the first guide bar 6 to the first slide 11 and the second slide 12. Referring to fig. 8 in particular, the first magnet 13 can make the first guide bar 6 tightly attached to the first carrier 1, so as to further improve the stability of the lens moving along with the first carrier 1 and improve the imaging quality. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first magnet 13 may be disposed only at one end of the first carrier 1, and the first magnet 13 may span across two first guide bars 6 to provide magnetic attraction to the two first guide bars 6 at the same time, and in other embodiments, the first magnet 13 may be disposed at both ends of the first carrier 1 and may span across two first guide bars 6, respectively, so as to provide stronger magnetic attraction. Or, be provided with first magnetite 13 respectively in the four corners of first carrier 1, the position of each first magnetite 13 only corresponds a first guide bar 6, can provide enough magnetic attraction like this, reduces the volume of monolithic first magnetite 13, alleviates the holistic weight of the module of making a video recording.

As an embodiment for realizing the first driving mechanism, as shown in fig. 1, the first driving mechanism may include a first motor 41 disposed on one of the base 3 and the first carrier 1, a screw rod 42 driven to rotate by the first motor 41, and a U-shaped clamping structure 43 disposed on the other of the base 3 and the first carrier 1 for cooperating with the screw rod 42 to generate relative movement, wherein the U-shaped clamping structure 43 is configured to have an elastic force capable of abutting against the screw rod 42. It should be noted that the U-shaped holding structure 43 has a thread matching with the screw rod 3, and the size of the U-shaped holding structure 5 may be slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the screw rod 3 to clamp the screw rod 42 and can expand under the elastic action to cooperate with the screw rod 42 to generate relative movement. For convenience of description, the screw 42 and the first motor 41 are installed on the base 3, and the U-shaped clamping structure 43 is disposed on the first carrier 1, which is only for illustration and not for limiting the disclosure.

When the screw 42 rotates, the U-shaped clamping structure 43 engaged with the screw 42 converts the rotation of the screw 42 into a linear motion, so as to generate a relative displacement with the screw 42, so that the first carrier 1 drives the lens to move relative to the base 3. Here, the U-shaped clamping structure 43 is configured to have the elastic force of the clamping screw 42, so that the U-shaped clamping structure 43 can always stabilize the clamping screw 42, thereby ensuring the moving stability of the first carrier 1 and improving the imaging quality of the camera module. In addition, when the lens is impacted by the outside to generate a larger acceleration, the U-shaped clamping structure 43 can slide with the screw rod 42 due to the elasticity, so that the threads of the U-shaped clamping structure 43 and the threads of the screw rod 42 are staggered, the irreversible damage to the driver caused by overlarge impact force can be avoided, and the reliability of the camera module is improved.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 9 and 10, the U-shaped clamping structure 43 includes two first clamping members 431 extending from the base 3 or the first carrier 1 to both sides of the screw 42, and the first clamping members 431 are formed as sidewalls of the U-shaped clamping structure 43. The first clamping member 431 has elasticity, and when the first carrier 1 is moved or the screw 42 is rotated and shaken, the first clamping member 431 is elastically deformed, so that the first carrier 1 can be smoothly moved.

Referring to fig. 10, the first guide bar 6 may be attached to the upper walls of the first and

second chutes

11 and 12 in an initial state, and the first carrier 1 may be kept attached to the position by the elastic action of the first clamping member 431, so as to stabilize the first carrier 1 and improve the image quality. When the first guide bar 6 is magnetically attached to the left side wall of the first carrier 1 in the drawing direction of fig. 9 by the first magnet 13, the first clamping member 431 is clamped at the upper and lower sides (referring to the upper and lower sides in the drawing direction of fig. 9 and 10) of the screw rod 42, so that the first carrier 1 can be kept attached to the left side of the first guide bar 6 by the elastic action of the first clamping member 431, and the first carrier 1 can be ensured to move smoothly along the first guide bar 6.

In a second embodiment, referring to fig. 11, the U-shaped clamping structure 43 comprises a straight member 432 extending from the base 3 or the first carrier 1, and two second clamping members 433 extending from the straight member 432 to both sides of the screw 42, the second clamping members 433 being formed as side walls of the U-shaped clamping structure 43. Here, the second clamping member 433 clamps both left and right sides (i.e., left and right sides in the drawing direction of fig. 11) of the screw rod 42, so that the first carrier 1 can be smoothly moved, and referring to fig. 11, the second clamping member 433 can hold the first carrier 1 at the position, for example, by magnetically attracting the first guide bar 6 to the left sides of the first and

second slides

11 and 12 by the first magnet 13. The straight member 432 may also have elasticity, so that the straight member 432 and the second clamping member 433 can stabilize the shaking from different directions.

In a third embodiment, referring to fig. 12, the U-shaped clamping structure 43 comprises a bending piece 434 extending from the base 3 or the first carrier 1, and two third clamping pieces 435 extending from the end of the bending piece 434 to both sides of the screw 42, and the third clamping pieces 435 are formed as side walls of the U-shaped clamping structure 43. This embodiment is the same as the second embodiment described above in that the third clamping members 435 clamp both right and left sides of the screw 42, making it possible to smoothly move the first carrier 1. Different from the above embodiment, there is designed the bending piece 434, two elastic deformation regions except the clamping piece can be added through the bending piece 434, that is, the horizontal arm and the vertical arm of the bending piece 434 can also generate elastic deformation, so as to adapt to the shaking from the screw 42 in different directions, avoid the first carrier 1 from shaking in all directions, and enhance the stabilizing effect on the first carrier 1, where the horizontal arm and the vertical arm are relative to the drawing direction of fig. 12, and the left-right direction and the up-down direction of the drawing are horizontal and vertical. In a similar way, when setting up first magnetite 13, first magnetite 13 and U type clamping structure 43 combined action make first carrier 1 more stable with the laminating of first guide bar 6.

As shown in fig. 1, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, a sensor 14 for detecting the position of the first carrier 1 may be further disposed on the base 3 or the first carrier 1. The initial position of the screw 42 is recorded according to the initial position information of the first carrier 1 detected by the sensor 14, and then the first motor 41 is controlled to drive the screw 42 to rotate by an appropriate number of turns or angle according to the distance that the first lens 100 needs to move, so as to drive the first carrier 1 to move by a corresponding distance, and when the first carrier 1 moves to the required distance, the first motor 41 stops driving the screw 42. The sensor 14 may be a hall sensor or a photoelectric sensor, or may be another type of position sensor.

As another embodiment for realizing the first drive mechanism, as shown in fig. 2, the first drive mechanism may include a yoke 44 provided on one of the base 3 and the first carrier 1, a second magnet 45 provided on the yoke 44, and a first coil 46 provided on the other of the base 3 and the first carrier 1, the yoke 44 including a circumferentially closed space, the second magnet 45 being provided on an inner wall of a first side 441 of the circumferentially closed space, the first coil 46 being configured to be wound around the first side 441 or a second side 442 opposite to the first side 441 and to be capable of relative movement with the yoke 44.

The yoke 44 having the circumferentially closed region may restrain the distribution of the magnetic lines of force of the second magnet 45, concentrating the magnetic flux so that the magnetic line path of the second magnet 45 forms a closed loop. During the movement of the first coil 46 relative to the yoke 44, the first coil 46 is wound around the yoke 44 at all times, so that the magnetic lines of force of the second magnet 45 are distributed uniformly at various positions within the stroke of the first carrier 1, whereby the lens movement in the camera module having a large stroke can be facilitated.

Further, since the guide groove 54 extends in the optical axis direction, the movement locus of the ball 53 is restricted in the guide groove 54, and thus, it can play a role of guiding during the movement of the second carrier 2.

According to another embodiment of the second guide assembly of the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 33 and 34, the driver further includes two second guide rods 7 extending in the optical axis direction and penetrating through the second carrier 2, and the second carrier 2 is provided with a third slide 21 and a fourth slide 22 through which the two second guide rods 7 respectively penetrate, so that the second carrier 2 can slide along the second guide rods 7. In addition to the third and fourth runners 21, 22 being configured in such a way that holes or slots are made in the carriers as in the first guide assembly described above, it is also possible to form, on the first carrier 1, first and

second supports

15, 16 for supporting the second guide bar 7, respectively, in such a way that, when the first and

second carriers

1, 2 are configured as sheet metal parts, respectively, the first support 15 is formed with a V-shaped slot, the second support 16 is flat and straight, and the supports together with the plate-shaped second carrier 2 form the first and second runners 21, 22 through which the second guide bar 7 passes.

Like the first guiding assembly, the third slide 21 can also be configured to have a V-shaped cross section tangent to the second guiding rod 7 to radially limit the first carrier 1 and avoid wobbling during sliding. The fourth slideway 22 is configured such that the cross section has a straight portion tangent to the second guide bar 7, so that the two first guide bars 6 can jointly support the first carrier 1, and the stability of the first guide bars 6 for supporting the first carrier 1 is improved. The situation that the optical axis of the second lens 200 deflects in the process of moving along with the second carrier 2 can be avoided by arranging the second guide assembly, and the imaging quality is improved.

In the present disclosure, a reed (not shown in the figure) may be further disposed between the first carrier 1 and the second carrier 2. When the spring force generated by the spring is balanced with the electromagnetic force generated by the second coil 51 and the third magnet 52, the second carrier 2 is kept stationary. The input current of the second coil 51 is adjusted to drive the stroke of the second carrier 2 to change. The range of stroke variation actually required for the second carrier 2 can be achieved by selecting springs with different spring constants, the greater the stroke (spring deformation) the greater the pressure.

As other embodiments for implementing the second driving mechanism, the second driving mechanism may also employ a piezoelectric linear motor having a piezoelectric vibrator and a resonance piece, and an SMA linear motor having a memory metal feature. It should be understood that the second guide assembly described above as applied to the second drive mechanism having the second coil 51 and the third magnet 52 can be applied to both piezoelectric linear motors and SMA linear motors as well.

second carriers

second lenses

100 and 200 in the optical axis direction, or, as shown in fig. 37 and 38, the first and

second carriers

1 and 2 may be disposed on both sides of the first and

second lenses

100 and 200 in the optical axis direction, respectively. Through above-mentioned technical scheme for this driver that opens can be according to the holistic overall arrangement of the module of making a video recording and select first actuating mechanism and second actuating mechanism's relative position in a flexible way, make full use of make a video recording the space of module.

In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the actuator may further include a third carrier (not shown) and a third actuator. Wherein the third carrier is arranged on the second carrier 2 for mounting a third lens, and the third driving mechanism is used for driving the third carrier to move on the second carrier 2 along the direction of the optical axis. It should be noted that the present disclosure does not limit the number of lenses to 3, but a fourth carrier for mounting a fourth lens may be continuously provided on the third carrier, and so on, according to actual needs, so that a plurality of lenses can be driven to move in the optical axis direction. In other embodiments of the present disclosure, a plurality of second carriers 2 and a plurality of second driving mechanisms corresponding to the second carriers 2 may be provided on the first carrier 1. I.e. having a plurality of second carriers 2, which plurality of second carriers 2 are each arranged on the first carrier 1, rather than being arranged one above the other. The skilled person can select between the above two ways for mounting a plurality of carriers according to actual needs, or mix the two ways, and the two ways are not limited herein.

Alternatively, the second drive mechanism may be assembled or integrally provided on the first carrier 1. For example, the second drive mechanism may comprise a fixed base for mounting on the first carrier 1, on which the second drive mechanism is assemblably mounted. Alternatively, the second driving mechanism and the first carrier 1 are integrally formed, that is, the second driving mechanism and the first carrier 1 are not detachable.

As an embodiment for realizing communication and power supply of the driver, as shown in fig. 39 to 42, the driver includes two fixing portions 81 disposed opposite to each other, and a signal transmission member 82 disposed between the two fixing portions 81 in a bending manner, wherein two ends of the signal transmission member 82 are respectively connected to the corresponding fixing portions 81, the first carrier 1 is connected to a middle portion of the signal transmission member 82, and is configured to drag the middle portion of the signal transmission member 82 so that the signal transmission member 82 abuts against or is separated from the fixing portions 81 in a vertical direction. In the embodiment shown in fig. 1 to 3, the fixing portion 81 may be the chassis 3 or the housing 9 of the camera module. The signal transmission member 82 may be an FPC.

When the first carrier 1 moves from the first state shown in fig. 39 to the second state shown in fig. 40, it carries the middle portion of the signal transmission member 82 to the right in the direction of the drawing. In this process, since the two ends of the signal transmission member 82 are respectively connected to the corresponding fixed portions 81, the relative movement between the signal transmission member and the fixed portions 81 is not a translational manner capable of generating friction, but gradually departs from the fixed portions 81 in a vertical direction, specifically, in an up-down direction in the drawing plane direction. Similarly, specifically, when the first carrier 1 moves from the second state shown in fig. 40 to the first state shown in fig. 39, it carries the middle portion of the signal transmission member 82 to the left in the direction of the drawing, and the signal transmission member 82 gradually abuts against the fixing portion 81 in the vertical direction without generating friction.

The two ends of the signal transmission member 82 are respectively connected with the corresponding fixing portions 81, and the first carrier 1 drags the middle of the signal transmission member 82 to make the signal transmission member 82 abut against or separate from the fixing portions 81 in the vertical direction, so that the signal transmission member 82 does not generate friction with the fixing portions 81 in the moving process, and failure risks such as abrasion of the signal transmission member 82, short circuit, breakage and the like are avoided.

With continued reference to fig. 39 and 40, according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, signal transmission member 82 assumes a substantially M-shaped configuration during movement in accordance with the movement described above. Specifically, the signal transmission member 82 is configured as an M-shaped structure formed by a first signal transmission section 21 and a second signal transmission section 22, wherein the first signal transmission section 821 and the second signal transmission section 822 are respectively U-shaped, the first carrier 1 is connected to the intersection of the first signal transmission section 821 and the second signal transmission section 822, and the first carrier 1 simultaneously drives the first signal transmission section 821 and the second signal transmission section 822 to move, so that the first signal transmission section 821 and the second signal transmission section 822 respectively contact or separate from the fixing portion 81 along the vertical direction, and friction with the fixing portion 81 is avoided.

In accordance with another embodiment of the present disclosure, with continued reference to fig. 41 and 42, the signal transmission member 82 assumes a generally U-shaped configuration during movement in accordance with the movement described above. Specifically, the first end of the signal transmission member 82 is connected to the second fixing portion 812, and the first carrier 1 is connected to the second end of the signal transmission member 82. The driver further comprises a stopper 83 arranged between the signal transmission member 82 and the first fixing portion 811 for spacing the signal transmission member 82 from the first fixing portion 811, the stopper 83 being connected to the second end of the signal transmission member 82 such that the first carrier 1 simultaneously carries along the signal transmission member 82 and the stopper 83 in movement.

When the first carrier 1 moves from the first state shown in fig. 41 to the second state shown in fig. 42, it carries the second end of the signal transmission member 82 to the right in the direction of the drawing. In the process, since the first end of the signal transmission member 82 is connected to the second fixing portion 812, the relative movement between the signal transmission member and the second fixing portion 812 is not a translational manner capable of generating friction, but gradually departs from the second fixing portion 812 in the vertical direction, specifically in the up-down direction of the drawing plane direction, and in the process, since the second end of the signal transmission member 82 is connected to the stopper 83, the relative movement between the signal transmission member and the stopper 83 is not a translational manner capable of generating friction, but gradually abuts against the stopper 83 in the vertical direction, specifically in the up-down direction of the drawing plane direction, so that the signal transmission member 82 does not directly contact with the second fixing portion 812 to generate friction. Similarly, when the first carrier 1 moves from the second state shown in fig. 42 to the first state shown in fig. 41, it drives the second end of the signal transmission member 82 to the left side in the direction of the figure, the first end of the signal transmission member 82 gradually abuts against the second fixing portion 812 in the vertical direction without friction, and the second end of the signal transmission member 82 gradually separates from the stopper 83 in the vertical direction without friction.

Since the signal transmission member 82 and the first fixing portion 811 are separated by the stopper 83, when the first carrier 1 drives the signal transmission member 82 to move, the signal transmission member 82 and the stopper 83 move simultaneously, so that the signal transmission member 82 and the first fixing portion 811 do not generate a contact surface friction phenomenon, and the failure risks of abrasion of the signal transmission member 82, short circuit, fracture and the like are avoided.

The preferred embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, however, the present disclosure is not limited to the specific details of the above embodiments, and various simple modifications may be made to the technical solution of the present disclosure within the technical idea of the present disclosure, and these simple modifications all belong to the protection scope of the present disclosure.
