According to the camera module of the present invention, the camera unit comprises the first sub camera unit and the second sub camera unit which are arranged at intervals along the optical axis direction, it can be understood that the first sub camera unit and the second sub camera unit are only used for explaining that the camera unit comprises different sub camera units, and the number of the sub camera units is not limited, that is, the camera unit comprises at least two sub camera units, so that the plurality of sub camera units can avoid the limitation of the range of the shot pictures when the single sub camera unit shoots, and the plurality of sub camera units can move mutually, can realize higher zoom magnification, and can also process the aberration which is difficult to correct, thereby improving the definition of the image quality, and in addition, the plurality of sub camera units also meet the requirements of the current increasingly popular multi-camera modules and multi-camera devices, thereby realizing the great improvement of various imaging qualities.

The camera shooting unit further comprises the movable support, the movable support can move between the first position and the second position along the optical axis direction of the camera shooting unit, it should be noted that the first position corresponds to the position of the first sub camera shooting unit, the second position corresponds to the position of the second sub camera shooting unit, the position adjustment of the first sub camera shooting unit or the second sub camera shooting unit by the movable support is realized by moving between the first position and the second position, that is, the movement of the first sub camera shooting unit and the second sub camera shooting unit is completed by the same movable support, so that a plurality of sub camera shooting units of the camera shooting module can be matched with a single movable support to realize the movement, and a single movable support can be matched with a single driving motor, and the single driving motor drives the plurality of sub-camera units to move, so that the design space of the camera module is reduced, the light and thin design of the portable electronic equipment is realized, and meanwhile, the single movable support and the single driving motor also reduce the preparation cost of the camera module.

The main driving part and the first driving part are mutually switched to form a first state and a second state, the main driving part and the first driving part are mutually matched to realize the switching between the first state and the second state, so that the main driving part and the first driving part are separably connected, the movable support can move relative to the first sub-camera unit or drive the first sub-camera unit to move, and namely the movable support can be used for driving the first sub-camera unit to change positions. The term "detachably connected" refers to a connection through electromagnetic induction, a slide rail, or other means, to separate or cooperate the main driving unit and the first driving unit, and further to separate or cooperate the movable bracket and the first sub-camera unit, and other detachable means are not limited to movable connection means such as springs and elastic members.

It should be noted that, a separation state and a matching state are provided between the main driving portion and the first driving portion, which correspond to the first state and the second state, respectively, and the main driving portion and the first driving portion are separably connected by switching between the first state and the second state, that is, the main driving portion and the first driving portion are separated or matched, so as to adjust the position of the first sub-camera unit by the movable bracket. For example, when the main driving portion and the first driving portion are in the first state, the main driving portion and the first driving portion are in the engaged state, the movable bracket and the first sub-camera unit are also in the engaged state, and the movable bracket drives the first sub-camera unit to move, so that the position of the first sub-camera unit can be adjusted; when the main driving part and the first driving part are in the second state, the main driving part and the first driving part are in the separated state, the movable support and the first sub-camera unit are also in the separated state, and the movable support can move independently, or the movable support can drive the first sub-camera unit to move, so that the first sub-camera unit moves relative to the movable support.

When the movable support is located at the second position, namely when the movable support is located at the position of the second sub-camera unit, the main driving part and the second driving part interact with each other to realize the switching between the first state and the second state, so that the movable support can drive the second sub-camera unit to move along the direction of the optical axis.

It can be understood that, since the movable bracket can move along the optical axis direction of the image pickup unit, the movable bracket can drive the image pickup unit to move along the optical axis direction, but the movable bracket can move along other directions, that is, the movable bracket can also move along directions other than the optical axis direction, for example, the movable bracket can also move along a first direction perpendicular to the optical axis direction, and the movable bracket is connected to the first sub image pickup unit by making the movable bracket and the first sub image pickup unit in the matching state, so that the movable bracket can drive the first sub image pickup unit to move along the first direction, which is only used for illustration and is not limited in particular.

When the coil is powered off, the main driving part and the first driving part are in the second state, a magnetic field is not generated between the coil and the magnet, and no magnetic attraction exists between the coil and the magnet, so that the first driving part and the main driving part can move independently and are in the separated state; or, when the coil is energized, the main driving part and the first driving part are in the second state, a magnetic field is generated between the coil and the magnet, but under the action of a magnetic field force, the coil and the magnet repel magnetically, so that the first driving part and the main driving part are separated from each other, and the first driving part and the main driving part are in the separated state. It is understood that the main driving part may also be an electromagnet, the first driving part is a magnet, and the mutual combination principle between the two parts is basically the same as that described above, and therefore, no further description is given here.

In addition, the structure of the reverse U shape or I shape enables the movable support to be light and simple, and convenient to manufacture and operate, so that the functions of induction, positioning, driving and the like of the movable support are facilitated to be realized, and specifically, the loss for driving the movable support is less, so that the moving speed of the first sub-camera unit is accelerated, and the response performance of the first sub-camera unit is improved; that is, since the driving loss is reduced and the responsiveness and the mobility are excellent, it is advantageous that the first sub camera unit is effectively moved in the optical axis direction or effectively deflected around the optical axis direction by the adjusted moving amount within a narrow spatial range, thereby realizing the zoom, focus, or anti-shake function of the camera module.

It will be appreciated that the first guide structure may provide guidance and support for the mobile carriage and the second guide structure may provide guidance and support for the camera unit. The movable connection can be realized by electromagnetic induction, a slide way, a slide rail or other connection modes, and is not limited to movable connection modes such as a spring, an elastic piece and the like.

When the movable bracket 200 is located at the second position, that is, when the movable bracket 200 is located at the position of the second sub-camera unit 103, the main driving portion 201 interacts with the second driving portion 105 to switch between the first state and the second state, so that the movable bracket 200 can drive the second sub-camera unit 103 to move along the optical axis direction.

It can be understood that, since the movable bracket 200 can move along the optical axis direction of the image capturing unit 100, the movable bracket 200 can drive the image capturing unit 100 to move along the optical axis direction, but the movable bracket 200 can move along other directions, that is, the movable bracket 200 can also move along directions other than the optical axis direction, for example, the movable bracket 200 can also move along a first direction (parallel to the Y direction shown in fig. 1) perpendicular to the optical axis direction, and the movable bracket 200 is connected to the first sub image capturing unit 102 by making the movable bracket 200 and the first sub image capturing unit 102 in a matching state, so that the movable bracket 200 can drive the first sub image capturing unit 102 to move along the first direction.

In some embodiments, the main driving portion 201, the first driving portion 104, and the second driving portion 105 are all magnetic members, and when the movable bracket 200 is in the first position, the main driving portion 201 and the first driving portion 104 are magnetically attracted to each other, and when the movable bracket 200 is in the second position, the main driving portion 201 and the second driving portion 105 are magnetically attracted to each other.

In the present application, the main driving unit 201, the first driving unit 104, and the second driving unit 105 may be magnets, coils, electromagnets, or magnets, and thus magnetic force may or may not be provided between the main driving unit 201 and the first driving unit 104 or the second driving unit 105, and the interaction between the main driving unit 201 and the first driving unit 104 is taken as an example to explain whether the magnetic force exists or not, which corresponds to the engaging state and the disengaging state between the main driving unit 201 and the first driving unit 104, that is, the first state and the second state, respectively.

Specifically, when there is a magnetic force between the first driving portion 104 and the main driving portion 201, the main driving portion 201 and the first driving portion 104 are in a first state, and at this time, under the action of the magnetic force, the main driving portion 201 and the first driving portion 104 are magnetically attracted to each other; when no magnetic field force exists between the first driving part 104 and the main driving part 201, the main driving part 201 and the first driving part 104 are in a second state, and no magnetic attraction force exists between the main driving part 201 and the first driving part 104; or, when there is a magnetic force between the first driving unit 104 and the main driving unit 201, the main driving unit 201 and the first driving unit 104 are in the second state, and at this time, under the action of the magnetic force, the main driving unit 201 and the first driving unit 104 repel magnetically; the concrete can be limited according to actual needs.

By making the first driving part 104 and the main driving part 201 both magnetic parts, a magnetic field can be generated between the magnetic parts, and the functions of induction, positioning, driving and the like of the movable support 200 can be realized. Since a magnetic field is generated between the magnetic members, the first driving portion 104 and the main driving portion 201 are moved by the magnetic field force, and a conventional structure in which a gear and a convex groove are fitted to each other is not required, and therefore, not only can unstable oscillation due to an error in accuracy caused by the movement be prevented, but also a further reduction in size can be achieved in the structure.

In some embodiments, the first driving portion 104 and the second driving portion 105 are both magnets, the main driving portion 201 is a coil, and the coil is magnetically attracted to the magnets when the movable bracket 200 is in the first position or the second position.

When the coil is powered off, the main driving part 201 and the first driving part 104 are in a second state, no magnetic field is generated between the coil and the magnet, and no magnetic attraction exists between the coil and the magnet, so that the first driving part 104 and the main driving part 201 can move independently, and the first driving part 104 and the main driving part 201 are in a separated state; alternatively, when the coil is energized, the main driving unit 201 and the first driving unit 104 are in the second state, a magnetic field is generated between the coil and the magnet, and under the action of the magnetic field force, the coil and the magnet repel each other magnetically, so that the first driving unit 104 and the main driving unit 201 are separated from each other, and the first driving unit 104 and the main driving unit 201 are in the separated state.

The suspension structure may also provide a degree of freedom for the first sub-camera unit 102 to move along the optical axis, and since the suspension structure is movably connected to the second guide structure 400, the movable bracket 200 may be configured to drive the first sub-camera unit 102 to move along the second guide structure 400, and the driving principle is as described above and is not described herein, so that the first sub-camera unit 102 can move along the optical axis, and further the focusing or zooming of the camera unit 100 can be achieved.

Further, the active part 201 is located on the first support plate 203 and the second support plate 205. In this embodiment, the number of the main driving units 201 is two, the first main driving unit 201 is disposed on the first support plate 203, the second main driving unit 201 is disposed on the second support plate 205, and similarly, the example of the mutual correspondence between the main driving unit 201 and the first driving unit 104 is described, since the first support plate 203 and the second support plate 205 are disposed opposite to each other along the first direction, in the first direction, the first main driving unit 201 corresponds to the first driving unit 104 disposed on one side of the first sub-camera unit 102, and the second main driving unit 201 corresponds to the second first driving unit 104 disposed on the other side of the first sub-camera unit 102, so that the main driving unit 201 and the first driving unit 104 can be separably connected.

Specifically, the main driving unit 201 may interact with the first driving unit 104, and the main driving unit 201 may also interact with the second driving unit 105, and in this application, the interaction between the main driving unit 201 and the first driving unit 104 and the second driving unit 105 is the same, so the interaction between the main driving unit 201 and the first driving unit 104 is taken as an example in the present embodiment. The main driving portion 201 and the first driving portion 104 have a first state and a second state which can be switched with each other, the main driving portion 201 and the first driving portion 104 are matched with each other to realize switching between the first state and the second state, so that the main driving portion 201 and the first driving portion 104 can be detachably connected, and further the movable support 200 can move relative to the first sub-camera unit 102 or drive the first sub-camera unit 102 to move, namely the movable support 200 can drive the first sub-camera unit 102 to change positions.

In this embodiment, the main driving portion 201 and the first driving portion 104 are preferably detachably connected by electromagnetic induction. Specifically, the main driving unit 201, the first driving unit 104, and the second driving unit 105 are all magnetic members, a magnetic field can be generated among the magnetic members, and the functions of induction, positioning, driving, and the like of the movable bracket 200 can be realized, the magnetic members can be magnets, coils, electromagnets, magnets, or the like, the main driving unit 201 and the first driving unit 104 or the second driving unit 105 move by the action of the magnetic field force, a conventional structure in which gears and convex grooves are engaged with each other is not required, unstable oscillation caused by accuracy errors caused by the conventional structure can be prevented, and further miniaturization can be realized in structure. In addition, the electromagnetic induction mode is adopted for connection, so that the non-contact connection between the movable support 200 and the camera shooting unit 100 can be realized, thereby reducing intermediate structural members, increasing the space utilization rate of the camera shooting module 1000, and further realizing the miniaturization design of the camera shooting module 1000. It is understood that the first driving part 104, the second driving part 105 and the main driving part 201 may also be an electrically conductive deformation element or a piezoelectric element in other embodiments.

Similarly, taking the interaction between the main driving part 201 and the first driving part 104 as an example, when the coil is energized, the main driving part 201 and the first driving part 104 are in a first state, a magnetic field is generated between the coil and the magnet, and under the action of a magnetic field force, the coil and the magnet realize magnetic attraction, so that the first driving part 104 and the main driving part 201 are matched with each other, and the first driving part 104 and the main driving part 201 are in a matched state; when the coil is powered off, the main driving part 201 and the first driving part 104 are in the second state, no magnetic field is generated between the coil and the magnet, and no magnetic attraction exists between the coil and the magnet, so that the first driving part 104 and the main driving part 201 can move independently, and the first driving part 104 and the second driving part 201 are in the separated state.

In other embodiments, when the coil is energized, the main driving unit 201 and the first driving unit 104 may be in the second state, for example, when a reverse current is applied to the coil, a magnetic field is generated between the coil and the magnet, but the coil and the magnet are magnetically repelled by a magnetic force, so that the first driving unit 104 and the main driving unit 201 are separated from each other, and the first driving unit 104 and the main driving unit 201 are in the separated state. It is understood that, in other embodiments, the main driving portion 201 may also be an electromagnet, and the first driving portion 104 is a magnet, and the implementation principle is referred to as above, which is not described herein again.

Further, in the present embodiment, since the first sub-camera unit 102 includes two first driving portions 104, in the first direction, the first driving portion 104 is disposed on one side of the first sub-camera unit 102, and the second first driving portion 104 is disposed on the other side of the first sub-camera unit 102, that is, in the first direction, the magnets include a first magnet and a second magnet that are disposed oppositely, and the first magnet and the second magnet are respectively and fixedly disposed on two sides of the first sub-camera unit 102; the magnet is fixedly connected to the first sub-camera unit 102, so that the magnet can drive the first sub-camera unit 102 to move when moving under the action of magnetic force, that is, in this embodiment, the first magnet and the second magnet can drive the first sub-camera unit 102 to move, thereby implementing the zoom function or the focusing function of the camera unit 100. It is to be understood that, in the present embodiment, the first magnet and the second magnet are only used for illustration, and the number of the magnets is not limited.

Further, the movable bracket 200 is provided with a main driving portion 201, and the main driving portion 201 is generally fixedly connected to the movable bracket 200, in this embodiment, it is preferable to use a snap-fit fastening method to fixedly connect the main driving portion 201 and the movable bracket 200, and since the main driving portion 201 is a coil, the snap-fit fastening method is used to fixedly connect the coil and the movable bracket 200.

Specifically, in the present embodiment, since the main driving parts 201 are provided in two, in the first direction, the first main driving part 201 is provided on the first support plate 203, and the second main driving part 201 is provided on the second support plate 205, that is, in the first direction, the coils include a first coil and a second coil which are oppositely provided, the first coil is provided on the first support plate 203, and the second coil is provided on the second support plate 205. The first supporting plate 203 and the second supporting plate 205 of the movable support 200 are respectively provided with a hook structure (not shown in the figure), the first coil and the second coil are respectively wound in the hook structures, and further, the wound first coil and the wound second coil can be welded to reinforce the fixed connection between the coil and the movable support 200, so as to ensure the electric conductivity of the first coil and the second coil. It is understood that, in the present embodiment, the first coil and the second coil are only used for illustration, and the number of coils is not limited.

When the movable bracket 200 is at the first position, the first sub-camera unit 102 is located in the accommodating space 209; when the movable support 200 is at the second position, the second sub-camera unit 103 is located in the accommodating space 209, and the state of the main driving portion 201 and the first driving portion 104 or the second driving portion 105 is not limited herein, and similarly, the case that the main driving portion 201 interacts with the first driving portion 104 is taken as an example, the accommodating space 209 is defined by matching the connecting plate 207, the first support plate 203 and the second support plate 205, and when the main driving portion 201 and the first driving portion 104 are matched with each other in the first state, that is, when the movable support 200 is connected with the first sub-camera unit 102, the first sub-camera unit 102 is located in the accommodating space 209; in the second state, when the main driving portion 201 and the first driving portion 104 are separated from each other, the first sub-camera unit 102 may also be located in the accommodating space 209, so that the first sub-camera unit 102 may be located in the accommodating space 209 when moving or not moving, the design space of the camera module 1000 is reduced, and the camera module 1000 is miniaturized.

In this embodiment, the first sub camera unit 102 and the second sub camera unit 103 can share the accommodating space 209, that is, the two sub camera units can share the accommodating space 209, and the accommodating space 209 needs to be provided with two accommodating cavities compared with the existing two sub camera units, so as to further reduce the design space of the camera module 1000, further realize the miniaturization of the camera module 1000, and further realize the light and thin design of the portable electronic device. For example, first, the movable bracket 200 is located at a first position and drives the first sub-camera unit 102 to move until reaching a predetermined position of the first sub-camera unit 102, then, the movable bracket 200 moves to a second position independently and coincides with the positioning of the second sub-camera unit 102, at this time, the movable bracket can drive the second sub-camera unit 102 to move and reach the predetermined position of the second sub-camera unit 102, so that the first sub-camera unit 102 and the second sub-camera unit 103 share one movable bracket 200, that is, the two sub-camera units share the accommodating space 209. In this embodiment, the movement of the movable bracket 200 driving the two sub-camera units is only for illustration, and the number and the sequence of the times that the movable bracket 200 drives the two sub-camera units to move are not limited.

Referring to fig. 4, the camera module 1000 further includes a driving mechanism (not shown), a first guiding structure 300 and a second guiding structure 400, the first guiding structure 300 and the second guiding structure 400 are respectively disposed along the optical axis direction, the movable bracket 200 is movably connected to the first guiding structure 300, the camera unit 100 is movably connected to the second guiding structure 400, and the driving mechanism is configured to drive the movable bracket 200 to move along the first guiding structure 300; when the first driving part 104 interacts with the main driving part 201, the movable bracket 200 is used for driving the first sub-camera unit 102 to move along the second guiding structure 400; when the second driving part 105 interacts with the main driving part 201, the movable bracket 200 is used for driving the second sub-camera unit 103 to move along the second guiding structure 400.

It will be appreciated that the first guide structure 300 may provide guidance and support for the mobile carriage 200 and the second guide structure 400 may provide guidance and support for the camera unit 100. Specifically, the interaction between the main driving unit 201 and the first driving unit 104 is also taken as an example for explanation, when the first driving unit 104 and the main driving unit 201 are in the first state, that is, when the first coil and the second coil are energized, because the first coil on the movable bracket 200 interacts with the first magnet on the first sub-camera unit 102 and the second coil on the movable bracket 200 interacts with the second magnet on the first sub-camera unit 102, when the driving mechanism drives the movable bracket 200 to move along the first guiding structure 300, the movable bracket 200 can drive the first sub-camera unit 102 to move along the second guiding structure 400 through the interaction between the first coil and the first magnet and the interaction between the second coil and the second magnet, and further focusing or zooming of the camera unit 100 can be realized.

Further, the driving mechanism is a driving motor, and the driving motor of the movable bracket 200 may be a piezoelectric motor, a voice coil motor, a memory alloy motor, or a stepping motor, which may be selected according to actual production requirements, and is not specifically limited in this embodiment. The driving motor drives the movable support 200 to move, so that the movable support 200 drives the camera unit 100 to move when being connected with the camera unit 100, thereby realizing the zooming, focusing or anti-shaking functions of the camera module 1000. Various choices of the driving motor can realize different driving modes of the camera unit 100, so that the camera module 1000 can be suitable to be carried in electronic equipment of different models.

Because the movable support 200 is movable along the optical axis direction, the mutual movement between two sub-camera units arranged at intervals along the optical axis direction can be realized, so that the two sub-camera units of the camera module 1000 can be matched with a single movable support 200 to realize the movement, and a single movable support 200 can be matched with a single driving motor, so that the movement of driving two sub-camera units by a single driving motor is realized, the design space of the camera module 1000 is reduced, the light and thin design of portable electronic equipment is realized, and meanwhile, the preparation cost of the camera module 1000 is also reduced by a single movable support 200 and a single driving motor.

In other embodiments, the camera module 1000 may further include a suspension structure (not shown), the camera unit 100 is suspended and connected to the suspension structure, the suspension structure is movably connected to the second guiding structure 400, and the suspension structureFor drivingThe image pickup unit 100 moves perpendicularly to the optical axis direction.

Specifically, since the image capturing unit 100 is connected in a suspension structure in a suspended manner, the suspension structure improves the freedom of movement of the image capturing unit 100, and it is described by taking the interaction between the main driving portion 201 and the first driving portion 104 as an example, when the main driving portion 201 and the first driving portion 104 are in the first state, that is, when the main driving portion 201 and the first driving portion 104 are matched with each other, the movable bracket 200 and the suspension structure operate in a coordinated manner, so that the first sub image capturing unit 102 can move not only in the optical axis direction, but also in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis, for example, in the first direction.

Further, when the driving mechanism drives the movable bracket 200 to move along the first guiding structure 300, the suspension structure provides a degree of freedom of movement perpendicular to the optical axis direction for the first sub-camera unit 102, and by energizing the first coil and the second coil, the movable bracket 200 can drive the first sub-camera unit 102 to move perpendicular to the optical axis direction due to the interaction between the first coil and the first magnet and the interaction between the second coil and the second magnet, that is, the first sub-camera unit 102 can be displaced along the first direction, so that the anti-shake of the camera unit 100 can be realized. The suspension structure may also provide a degree of freedom for the first sub-camera unit 102 to move along the optical axis, and since the suspension structure is movably connected to the second guide structure 400, the movable bracket 200 may be configured to drive the first sub-camera unit 102 to move along the second guide structure 400, and the driving principle is as described above and is not described herein, so that the first sub-camera unit 102 can move along the optical axis, and further the focusing or zooming of the camera unit 100 can be achieved.

It can be understood that the movable bracket 200 can drive the first sub-camera unit 102 to move perpendicular to the optical axis direction, and can also drive the first sub-camera unit 102 to move along the second guiding structure 400, that is, the first sub-camera unit 102 can also move along the optical axis direction, and the two moving modes of the first sub-camera unit 102 can be implemented separately or simultaneously, when the first sub-camera unit 102 moves along the second guiding structure 400, the camera unit 100 can implement focusing or zooming; when the first sub-camera unit 102 moves perpendicular to the optical axis, the camera unit 100 can realize anti-shake; when the first sub-camera unit 102 moves along the second guide structure 400 and also moves perpendicular to the optical axis direction, the camera unit 100 can realize focusing or zooming and anti-shake, that is, the camera unit 100 has zooming, focusing and anti-shake functions at the same time, and the suspension connection manner between the suspension structure and the first sub-camera unit 102 can be determined according to actual needs, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

In summary, in the present embodiment, referring to fig. 2, taking the interaction between the main driving portion 201 and the first driving portion 104 as an example, when the driving motor drives the movable support 200 to move independently and reach a predetermined position, for example, when the movable support 200 moves independently to a first position and coincides with the positioning of the first sub-camera unit 102, the first coil and the second coil are energized respectively, the main driving part 201 and the first driving part 104 are in a first state, the first coil generates a magnetic field with the first magnet when energized, under the action of magnetic field force, the first coil and the first magnet realize magnetic attraction, and simultaneously the second coil and the second magnet generate a magnetic field when being electrified, under the action of magnetic field force, the second coil and the second magnet realize magnetic attraction, the first driving part 104 and the main driving part 201 are in a matching state, when the driving motor drives the movable bracket 200 to move, the movable bracket 200 can drive the first sub-camera unit 102 to move.

The magnitudes of the energizing currents for the first coil and the second coil may be the same or different, and further, the zooming, focusing or anti-shake function of the camera unit 100 may be realized, that is, the first sub-camera unit 102 is controlled to effectively move in the optical axis direction or effectively deflect around the optical axis direction by adjusting the currents for the first coil and the second coil, for example, when the magnitudes of the energizing currents for the first coil and the second coil are the same, the first sub-camera unit 102 is effectively controlled to move in the optical axis direction, so as to realize the zooming function and focusing function of the camera unit 100, and when the magnitudes of the energizing currents for the first coil and the second coil are different, the first sub-camera unit 102 is effectively controlled to effectively deflect around the optical axis direction, so as to realize the anti-shake function of the camera unit 100.

Referring to fig. 3, when the movable bracket 200 drives the first sub-camera unit 102 to move and reach a predetermined position, the first coil and the second coil are powered off, the position between the main driving portion 201 and the first driving portion 104 is in a second state, when the first coil is powered off, no magnetic field force is generated with the first magnet, and when the second coil is powered off, no magnetic field force is generated with the second magnet, the first driving portion 104 and the main driving portion 201 are in a separated state, and when the driving motor drives the movable bracket 200 to move, the movable bracket 200 can move independently.

When the driving motor drives the movable support 200 to move independently and reach a predetermined position, for example, when the movable support 200 moves independently to a second position and coincides with the positioning of the second sub-camera unit 102, the first coil and the second coil are powered on or powered off respectively, and the movable support 200 repeats the above actions, so that the two sub-camera units share one movable support 200, and then one driving motor is used, so that one driving motor drags the two sub-camera units to operate cooperatively, and the multiple optical zooming, focusing or anti-shaking functions of the camera module 1000 are realized. In other embodiments, when there are a plurality of sub-camera units, the sub-camera units may share one movable bracket 200, and further, the sub-camera units are matched with a single driving motor to realize movement.

It can be understood that, in this embodiment, the number of times and the sequence of moving the two sub-camera units by the movable bracket 200 are not limited, as long as the sub-camera units reach the preset position or the required state. For example, the movable stand 200 may move only one sub-camera unit, or the movable stand 200 may move one sub-camera unit first, then move another sub-camera unit, and then move the previous sub-camera unit again, so as to repeatedly and cyclically move the two sub-camera units, and so on.

In this embodiment, the two sub-camera units do not need to be respectively configured with the movable support 200, that is, the two sub-camera units share the same movable support 200 when moving, so that the two movable supports 200 are not used for one-to-one driving, and the component configuration of the camera module 1000 is reduced, thereby saving the space of the camera module 1000 in the assembly of the driving circuit and the components, and further facilitating the miniaturization design of the camera module 1000; meanwhile, only one movable support 200 is used, so that the cost of the movable support 200 can be saved, and the cost of the camera module 1000 can be reduced; that is, the two sub-camera units share one movable support 200 and are matched with a single driving motor to realize movement, so that the design space of the camera module 1000 is reduced, the light and thin design of the portable electronic device is realized, and meanwhile, the manufacturing cost of the camera module 1000 is also reduced by the single driving motor.

In the second embodiment, the first embodiment of the method,

referring to fig. 5, the structure of the present embodiment is substantially the same as that of the first embodiment, wherein the same reference numerals are used for the same components, and the differences are only that: first backup pad 203, second backup pad 205 and connecting plate 207 integrated into one piece of movable support 200, and be formed with hollow 2073 on the movable support 200, in this embodiment, hollow 2073 sets up on connecting plate 207, and further, hollow 2073 is the through-hole.

By arranging the first support plate 203, the second support plate 205 and the connecting plate 207 as an integral body, the connecting assembly process of the connecting plate 207 with the first support plate 203 and the second support plate 205 can be omitted, so that the preparation and assembly process of the camera module 1000 can be simplified, and meanwhile, the assembly process can be omitted, so that the preparation yield of the camera module 1000 can be improved, and the manufacturing cost can be saved.

The setting of hollow out construction 2073 on connecting plate 207 can alleviate the weight of connecting plate 207 to can alleviate movable support 200's weight, thereby make the loss of drive movable support 200 further reduce, can realize movable support 200's flexibility and accurate motion, and then realize movable support 200 to the accurate removal of unit 100 of making a video recording, and then do benefit to functions such as the response of realizing movable support 200, location and drive. In addition, hollow 2073 has still increased the available fitting space of the module 1000 of making a video recording, can dispose other parts in the module 1000 of making a video recording, is favorable to the miniaturized design of the module 1000 of making a video recording.

It is understood that, in other embodiments, the hollowed-out structure 2073 may also be disposed on the first support plate 203 or the second support plate 205, and may be disposed on the connection plate 207, the first support plate 203 and the second support plate 205, or may be disposed on any one of them separately, and may be disposed according to actual needs, which is not limited herein. Further, in other embodiments, the hollow structures 2073 may also be through holes and/or blind holes, the hollow structures 2073 may be quadrilateral, triangular, circular or any other shape, the hollow structures 2073 may only include through holes or only include blind holes, or the through holes and the blind holes may be arranged together, that is, the number of the hollow structures 2073 may be one, two or even multiple, when a plurality of hollow structures 2073 are arranged, the arrangement sequence may be regular arrangement or irregular arrangement, specifically, the arrangement may be determined according to production needs, and no limitation is made herein.

In the third embodiment, the first step is that,

referring to fig. 6 and fig. 7, the structure of the present embodiment is substantially the same as that of the first embodiment, wherein the same reference numerals are used for the same components, and the difference is only that: the connecting plate 207 is an annular plate with an opening 2071 in the middle, the projection of the connecting plate 207 on the plane perpendicular to the optical axis surrounds the projection of the image pickup unit 100 on the plane perpendicular to the optical axis, and when the main driving part 201 does not interact with the first driving part 104 and the second driving part 105, the first sub image pickup unit 102 or the second sub image pickup unit 103 can pass through the opening 2071 and move relative to the connecting plate 207.
