It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application.

An embodiment Of the present application provides an imaging module mounting structure 100, as shown in fig. 1, the imaging module mounting structure 100 includes a movable portion 110 and a base 120, and the movable portion 110 may be used to mount an imaging module, where the imaging module is a component capable Of sensing information Of a detection object, for example, the imaging module may be a camera, a structural optical module, or a tof (time Of flight) camera module. The movable portion 110 is movably mounted on the base 120 to drive the imaging module mounted on the movable portion 110 to rotate, so as to change an imaging angle of the imaging module.

Specifically, the movable portion 110 has a mounting surface 111 for mounting the imaging module and a convex arc surface 112 connected to the mounting surface 111, and the mounting surface 111 faces the sensing object, so that the object side end of the imaging module can correspond to the sensing object to smoothly perform the imaging operation.

The convex arc surface 112 of the movable portion 110 is provided with a drawing groove 141, and a ball 150 is disposed in the drawing groove 141, and the ball 150 can roll in the drawing groove 141. The base 120 has an arc groove 121 corresponding to the convex arc surface 112, and the movable portion 110 is movably received in the arc groove 121. The ball 150 partially extends out of the drawing groove 141 and contacts with the wall surface 122 of the arc groove 121, so that the ball 150 can provide support for the movable portion 110, and the convex arc surface 112 and the wall surface 122 of the arc groove 121 are spaced apart, thereby facilitating the smooth movement of the movable portion 110 in the arc groove 121.

Wherein, the movable part 110 can be partially accommodated in the arc groove 121, so that the part of the movable part 110 for mounting the imaging module extends out of the arc groove 121; the movable portion 110 may be completely received in the arc-shaped groove 121, and the mounting surface 111 of the movable portion 110 is flush with the surface of the base 120. The two mounting methods can prevent the base 120 from blocking the transmission of light, and ensure the imaging effect of the imaging module mounted on the imaging module mounting structure 100. In other exemplary embodiments, the arc-shaped groove 121 of the base 120 is provided with a guide groove (not shown) corresponding to the traction groove 141, and a portion of the ball 150 extending out of the traction groove 141 can contact with a wall surface of the guide groove, so that the traction groove 141 and the guide groove can guide the moving direction of the ball 150 together, and the ball 150 is prevented from moving freely in the arc-shaped groove 121 to affect the controllability and the stability of the movement of the movable portion 110.

In the imaging module mounting structure 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application, the movable portion 110 is provided with the pulling groove 141, and the ball 150 is disposed to be movable in the pulling groove 141. When the movable portion 110 moves along the circumference of the convex arc surface 112, the imaging module mounted on the movable portion 110 can move along with the movable portion 110, so that the imaging module can perform multi-angle imaging operation, and the structure is simple. The movable portion 110 can reduce friction between the movable portion 110 and the base 120 by rolling friction of the balls 150, so that the movable portion 110 can rotate more smoothly with respect to the base 120, improving flexibility of the imaging module mounting structure 100, and improving a lifespan of the imaging module mounting structure 100. In addition, the movable portion 110 can move along the circumferential direction of the convex arc surface 112, so that the object-side end of the imaging module can sweep an arc region, and the imaging module mounted on the imaging module mounting structure 100 can obtain a wider shooting angle.

The wall surface 122 of the arc-shaped groove 121 is spaced apart from the convex arc surface 112 by the provision of the balls 150. The ball 150, as the middle bearing part, replaces the arc surface 112 of the movable part 110 to contact with the hemispherical groove of the base 120, so as to reduce the friction between the wall surface 122 of the arc groove 121 and the convex arc surface 112, so that the movable part 110 can rotate more smoothly relative to the base 120, improve the stability of the imaging module mounting structure 100 for driving the imaging module to move, and improve the imaging quality of the imaging module 200 mounted on the imaging module mounting structure 100. The adjacent two traction grooves 141 are arranged at intervals, so that the balls 150 arranged in different traction grooves 141 can independently move in corresponding areas, mutual interference of the balls 150 in different traction grooves 141 is avoided, and the flexibility of the movement of the movable part 110 is ensured.

By increasing the number of the balls 150 in each of the traction grooves 141, the plurality of balls 150 can support the movable portion 110 more stably, so that the movable portion 110 can rotate more smoothly relative to the base 120, and the movable portion 110 can be kept stable, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the information acquired by the imaging module 200. When the movable part 110 moves, the acting force acting on the balls 150 can be divided by the movable part 110 and the wall surfaces of the traction grooves 141 through the balls 150, so that when the pressure applied to the balls 150 is increased, the balls 150 share the pressure to reduce the pressure borne by the single ball 150, the balls 150 can still roll, and the moving smoothness of the movable part 110 is improved.

As shown in fig. 2-3, in some exemplary embodiments, the traction grooves 141 extend from the intersection of the mounting surface 111 and the convex camber surface 112 circumferentially along the convex camber surface 112 and in a direction away from the mounting surface 111. The traction groove 141 is set to have a certain length, so that the movable range of the movable part 110 is wider, the flexibility and the accuracy of the angle adjustment of the movable part 110 are improved, and the imaging module 200 arranged on the mounting surface 111 of the movable part 110 can obtain a larger field of view.

In some exemplary embodiments, the caliber of the drawing groove 141 is less than or equal to the diameter of the ball 150. The caliber of the drawing groove 141 is smaller than or equal to the diameter of the ball 150, so that the ball 150 is prevented from being separated from the drawing groove 141, and the stability of the movement of the movable part 110 is further ensured.

As shown in fig. 2-3, the convex arc surface of the movable portion is a hemisphere, and the arc groove 121 of the base 120 is a hemisphere, so that the wall surface of the hemisphere and the convex arc surface 112 can be mutually limited from multiple angles, which is convenient for improving the stability of the movable portion 110 when rotating along the circumferential direction of the sphere, and further improving the imaging effect of the imaging module 200. Of course, in other embodiments, the convex arc surface 112 of the movable portion 110 may also be a spherical crown-shaped arc surface, and the wall surface 122 of the arc-shaped groove 121 of the base 120 is configured as a concave arc surface corresponding to the convex arc surface 112.

Further, when the convex arc surface 112 of the movable portion 110 is a hemispherical surface, the traction groove 141 extends from the intersection of the mounting surface 111 and the convex arc surface 112 along the circumferential direction of the convex arc surface 112 and in the direction away from the mounting surface 111 along the circumferential direction of the convex arc surface 112, so as to drive the movable portion 110 to rotate 90 degrees around the center of the convex arc surface 112. It can be understood that, after the imaging module rotates to 90 degrees toward the object-side end of the sensing object, the object-side end of the imaging module faces the wall surface of the hemispherical recess, and the wall surface of the hemispherical recess blocks light transmission to affect the imaging operation of the imaging module, so that, when the angle is actually adjusted, the movable portion 110 does not need to be driven to rotate fully to 90 degrees, and the movable range of the movable portion 110 can be flexibly adjusted according to actual requirements, for example, the angle range for driving the movable portion 110 to rotate may be 0 to 30 degrees, 0 to 45 degrees, or 0 to 60 degrees.

As shown in fig. 5 to 7, an embodiment of the present application further provides an imaging module 200, where the imaging module 200 has an image capturing function, such as a structured light lens, a TOF lens, a zoom lens, and the like.

The electromagnet 130 can be connected to a back-end control system of the electronic device, and the back-end control system controls the magnetic force generated by the electromagnet 130 to drive the magnet 140 to move, thereby driving the movable portion 110 to move. The back end control system can control the electromagnet 130 to act on the magnet 140 to continuously drive the movable portion 110 to move to a desired position, and can also control the electromagnet 130 to act on the magnet 140 to drive the movable portion 110 to move to a desired position in several times.

As shown in fig. 6 to 7, the magnet 140 may be disposed in the drawing groove 141 of the movable portion 110. In some exemplary embodiments, the magnet 140 is within the traction groove 141 on a side of the convex arcuate surface 112 that extends away from the mounting surface 111 where the convex arcuate surface 112 intersects the mounting surface 111. By setting the magnet 140 to have a certain length, the action range of the electromagnet 130 acting on the magnet 140 is wider, and the range of the electromagnet 130 driving the magnet 140 to move is easier to control. Specifically, as shown in fig. 6 and 7, the magnets 140 extend from the mounting surface 111 to a side away from the mounting surface 111, and the distances between the respective positions of the magnets 140 and the electromagnets 130 are different. When the electromagnet 130 is energized, the farther the electromagnet 130 is, the smaller the magnetic field intensity is, correspondingly, the smaller the electromagnetic force is applied to the portion of the magnet 140 farther from the electromagnet 130, and the larger the electromagnetic force is applied to the portion of the magnet 140 closer to the electromagnet 130, so that the different portions of the magnet 140 are subjected to different electromagnetic forces. When the intensity of the magnetic field of the electromagnet 130 is changed, the distance between each part of the magnet 140 and the electromagnet 130 is different, so that the electromagnetic force applied to different parts of the magnet 140 is different, and the magnet 140 has a tendency of moving towards the circumferential direction of the convex arc surface 112, thereby driving the movable part 110 to move.
