In the camera field, various camera modules may be used due to differences in shooting distance and scene, for example, a telephoto lens is generally used when shooting a long shot. However, the use of the telephoto lens increases the thickness of the camera module. For example, when the camera module is applied to the cell-phone, and the camera module is single telephoto lens, single telephoto lens is designed as the back shot of cell-phone usually, and single telephoto lens locates the side surface that deviates from the display screen promptly, so the thickness that leads to the camera module is great to the thickness that leads to cell-phone casing is great. Alternatively, when the camera module is provided with at least one telephoto lens, the camera module may include a standard lens, a short-focus lens, an ultra-short-focus lens, and the like. Generally, the smaller the focal length, the smaller the thickness of the lens. Because the thickness of camera module needs to cooperate the setting of the thickest telephoto lens in the camera, so also can lead to the thickness of camera module great to the thickness that leads to cell-phone casing is great. In addition, under the condition that multiple camera exists, on locating the shell with the long burnt camera is protruding usually, easily increase the risk of damaging the camera, reduce the holistic harmony of product to can lead to the structure of camera module comparatively complicated under the coexistence circumstances of the long burnt camera lens of non-retractable and telescopic, the inside space utilization of camera module is lower.

In view of the above, in order to solve the above problems, the present application provides a camera module, please refer to fig. 1-3 together, and fig. 1 is a schematic perspective view illustrating a shortened camera module according to an embodiment of the present application. Fig. 2 is a schematic perspective view of an extended camera module according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view taken along the line A-A in FIG. 1 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 4 is a schematic cross-sectional view taken along the line A-A of FIG. 2 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

The terms "first," "second," and the like in the description and claims of the present application and in the above-described drawings are used for distinguishing between different objects and not for describing a particular order.

The camera module 1 provided by the embodiment can be installed on other equipment or matched with other components to realize shooting of different shooting distances and scenes. The camera module 1 according to the present embodiment may include various components, and the present embodiment is schematically described only in the case where the camera module 1 is applied to an electronic apparatus. However, this does not mean that the camera module 1 of the present embodiment is necessarily applied to an electronic apparatus. Note that the electronic devices provided in this embodiment include, but are not limited to, mobile terminals such as mobile phones, tablet computers, notebook computers, palm computers, Personal Computers (PCs), Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), Portable Media Players (PMPs), navigation devices, wearable devices, smart bands, pedometers, and fixed terminals such as Digital TVs and desktop computers. In the present embodiment, the type of the electronic device is not limited. In other embodiments, the camera module 1 may also be applied to other fields, such as monitoring field, automobile field, and the like.

The camera module 1 provided by the present embodiment includes a first housing 11, and the first housing 11 can be matched with other components to support and protect components in the camera module 1. The present application does not limit the shape or material of the first housing 11. The first housing 11 further includes a first sidewall 111. The shape of the first sidewall 111 is not limited in the present application. Optionally, the first sidewall 111 is annular.

The camera module 1 provided by this embodiment includes the second housing 12, and the second housing 12 can cooperate with the first housing 11 for supporting, accommodating, protecting components and the like in the camera module 1, and even the second housing 12 exposed to the outside can improve the appearance performance of the camera module 1. The present application does not limit the shape or material of the second housing 12. The second housing 12 includes a second sidewall 122. The second sidewall 122 is mounted on the first sidewall 111 to realize the assembly of the camera module 1. The installation manner of the second sidewall 122 and the first sidewall 111 can have two embodiments. Alternatively, in an embodiment, the second sidewall 122 is closer to the receiving space 11a than the first sidewall 111, that is, the inner wall of the first sidewall 111 is closer to the outer wall of the second sidewall 122. In another embodiment, the first sidewall 111 is closer to the accommodating space 11a than the second sidewall 122, that is, the outer wall of the first sidewall 111 is closer to the inner wall of the second sidewall 122. In the present embodiment, only the second side wall 122 is schematically described as being installed closer to the housing space 11a than the first side wall 111.

In other embodiments the second housing further comprises a top wall 121, the top wall 121 connecting the second side walls 122. Alternatively, the top wall 121 and the second side wall 122 may be integrally formed structural members, but for convenience of understanding, the top wall 121 and the second side wall 122 are artificially named differently. The shape of the top wall 121 and the second side wall 122 is not limited in the present application. Optionally, the second sidewall 122 is annular corresponding to the first sidewall 111. The drawings of the present application illustrate the second housing 12 as including the top wall 121 and the second side wall 122, but this does not mean that the second housing 12 necessarily includes the top wall 121, and the second housing may not include the top wall 121.

Also, the top wall 121 of the second casing 12 has the above-mentioned light-transmitting portion 1211. The light-transmitting portion 1211 allows light to pass therethrough, so that the camera 13 receives the light, providing a basis for photographing. And the light rays that can be received by the camera 13 and the parameters of the light-transmitting portion 1211, such as the intensity of the light rays, the incident angle of the light rays, the light-transmitting portion 1211, the positions of the light-transmitting portion 1211 and the object side 131 of the camera 13, and the like. The shape and material of the light-transmitting portion 1211 are not limited in the present application, and only the light can pass through the light-transmitting portion 1211 to reach the object side surface 131 of the camera 13. Alternatively, the transparent portion 1211 may be a transparent member itself, or may be a lens attached to the top wall 121. Further optionally, a decorative ring is provided between the lens and the top wall 121. Decorate the circle and be used for the protection lens, can also improve camera module 1's outward appearance performance. This embodiment is schematically described only by the lens.

In addition, since the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 can form the accommodating space 11a and the at least one camera 13 is disposed in the accommodating space 11a, it can also be understood that the camera 13 of the camera module 1 is always disposed in the accommodating space 11a, the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 in this embodiment can effectively protect the camera 13 and reduce the risk that the camera 13 is damaged due to being protruded out of the housings.

The image sensor 21 is used to receive light passing through the lens 13, photons in the light striking the image sensor 21 generate movable charges, which are internal photoelectric effects, and the movable charges are collected to form an electrical signal, so as to convert the optical signal into the electrical signal. Alternatively, the image sensor 21 may be a CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) or a CCD (Charge Coupled Device), or may be another type of image sensor 80 other than a CMOS or a CCD, such as a CID (Charge Injection Device). It will be appreciated that for CMOS, the DSP may be integrated within the CMOS. The CMOS has the advantages of high integration level, low power consumption, low cost and the like, and is more suitable for mobile phones with limited installation space.

The camera module 1 provided by the embodiment comprises at least one camera 13, and the at least one camera 13 can be adjusted in the telescopic focal length for photographing. Also, the types of the cameras 13 include, but are not limited to, standard cameras 13, short-focus cameras 13, ultra-short-focus cameras 13, and the like. In the embodiment, the shape and the type of the camera 13 are not limited, and only at least one camera 13 needs to be telescopic to adjust the focal length so as to realize shooting. The camera 13 has an object side 131 and an image side 132. The object side 131 refers to a surface of the camera 13 near the object to be photographed. The image side surface 132 refers to a surface of the camera 13 on a side close to other imaging components. It will also be understood that object side 132 is the surface of camera 13 on the side remote from image sensor 21. The image side 132 brings the camera 13 close to one side surface of the image sensor 21.

As shown in fig. 1 to 4, in the camera module 1 of the present embodiment, first, the second side wall 122 of the second housing 12 is mounted on the first side wall 111 of the first housing 11, thereby realizing assembly. While moving the second housing 12 relative to the first housing 11 (as shown in the direction D1 in fig. 2), that is, the second housing 12 can move both in a direction away from the image sensor 21 and in a direction close to the image sensor 21. It can also be understood that the height of the housing space 11a can be increased and decreased, and a space and a base for deformation are provided for extension and contraction of the camera 13.

As shown in fig. 2 and 4, the second housing 12 is movable relative to the first housing 11, and it can also be understood that the first side wall 111 has a top surface 1111 and a bottom surface 1112 opposite to each other, and the top surface 1111 is closer to the top wall 121 of the second housing 12 than the bottom surface 1112. That is, the top wall 121 of the second casing 12 can move in a direction away from the bottom surface 1112 of the first side wall 111 and in a direction close to the bottom surface 1112 of the first side wall 111. It can also be understood that, by moving the second casing 12 relative to the first casing 11 (as shown in the direction D1 in fig. 2), the vertical distance between the top wall 121 of the second casing 12 and the bottom surface 1112 of the first casing 11 (as shown in H1 in fig. 2) can be changed, so as to adjust the size of the accommodating space 11 a.

Secondly, when the camera module 1 is in an operating state and at least part of the focal length of the camera 13 needs to be increased, the second housing 12 can be moved away from the image sensor 21, so as to increase the height of the accommodating space 11a, i.e. the thickness of the camera module 1. At least part of the camera 13 can be extended in a direction away from the image sensor 21, and the vertical distance between the object side 131 and the image side 132 (as shown in H2 in fig. 4) is increased, that is, the length of the camera 13 is increased to realize zooming, so that the shooting distance of the camera module 1 is increased.

When the camera module 1 is in an operating state, but the focal length of at least a part of the cameras 13 does not need to be increased, the thickness of the cameras 13 can be reduced by shortening the part of the cameras 13 toward the direction close to the image sensor 21, that is, by reducing the vertical distance between the object side surface 131 and the image side surface 132 (as shown in H2 in fig. 3). The top wall 121 of the second housing 12 can also move toward the direction approaching the first side wall 111, thereby reducing the height of the accommodating space 11a, i.e., reducing the thickness of the camera module 1. Therefore, although the camera module 1 is in the operating state, the thickness of the camera module 1 can be reduced in the present embodiment when zooming using the camera 13 is not necessary.

When the camera module 1 does not need to use the camera 13 with a large focal length, at least part of the camera 13 can be shortened toward the direction close to the image sensor 21, and the height of the camera 13 is shortened. The second housing 12 is also movable in a direction to approach the image sensor 21, thereby reducing the housing space 11a, i.e., the thickness of the camera module 1. Therefore, the thickness of the camera module 1 can be reduced in the present embodiment without using the camera 13 having a large focal length.

In the present embodiment, the order of moving the second housing 12 relative to the first housing 11 and extending and retracting the camera 13 is not limited. For example, when there is a gap between the top wall 121 and the camera 13, the top wall 121 moves away from the first side wall 111 first, and the camera 13 extends again; alternatively, the camera 13 is extended first, and then the top wall 121 moves away from the first side wall 111; alternatively, the top wall 121 is moved toward the direction close to the first side wall 111 first, and the camera 13 is shortened; alternatively, the camera 13 is first shortened and the top wall 121 is moved toward the first side wall 111.

In summary, in the camera module 1 of the present embodiment, the size of the accommodating space 11a is adjusted by the cooperation of the first housing 11 and the second housing 12, and the camera 13 can be extended or shortened accordingly, so that the thickness of the camera module 1 can be reduced when the camera 13 is shortened.

Optionally, the camera module 1 further includes a third housing, where the third housing includes a third sidewall, the third sidewall is installed between the first sidewall 111 and the second sidewall 122, the first housing 11, the second housing 12 and the third housing enclose an accommodation space 11a, the third housing is movable relative to the first housing 11, and the second housing 12 is movable relative to the third housing;

when the top wall 121 moves away from the third sidewall or/and the third sidewall moves away from the first sidewall 111, at least a portion of the camera head 13 elongates to increase the vertical distance between the object side 131 and the image side 132; when the top wall 121 moves toward the direction close to the third sidewall or/and the third sidewall moves toward the direction close to the first sidewall 111, at least a portion of the camera 13 shortens to reduce the vertical distance between the object-side surface 131 and the image-side surface 132.

In the present embodiment, the camera module 1 may also be understood that the camera module 1 may perform three-level conversion by moving the third housing relative to the first housing 11 and moving the second housing 12 relative to the third housing, so as to further increase the range of adjusting the size of the accommodating space 11a, and further increase the range of the camera 13 to be extended or shortened accordingly, thereby reducing the thickness of the camera module 1 when the camera 13 is shortened, and increasing the range of extending the camera 13, that is, increasing the range of adjusting the focal length of the camera 13.

FIG. 6 is a schematic cross-sectional view taken along the line A-A of FIG. 2 according to yet another embodiment of the present application.

In this embodiment, the camera module 1 further includes a first matching portion 14 and a second matching portion 15 connected to each other, the second matching portion 15 is carried on the second housing 12, and when the second matching portion 15 moves in a direction away from the first matching portion 14, the second housing 12 can be driven to move in a direction away from the image sensor 21; when the second matching portion 15 moves toward the direction approaching the first matching portion 14, the second housing 12 is driven to move toward the direction approaching the image sensor 21.

The camera module 1 provided by this embodiment further includes a first matching portion 14 and a second matching portion 15, and the first matching portion 14 and the second matching portion 15 can be matched with each other, so as to drive other components to move. The second fitting portion 15 can also be used for supporting, or driving the second housing 12 to move, etc. In the embodiment, the shapes and materials of the first matching part 14 and the second matching part 15 are not limited, and only the first matching part 14 and the second matching part 15 can be matched with each other to drive other parts to move. Alternatively, the first engaging portion 14 and the second engaging portion 15 may be disposed in the accommodating space 11a, or may be disposed outside the accommodating space 11 a. In the present embodiment, only the first engagement portion 14 and the second engagement portion 15 are provided in the housing space 11a for illustration. The present application will be described in detail below with respect to specific configurations of the first mating portion 14 and the second mating portion 15.

As shown in fig. 5 and 6, when the second engaging portion 15 moves toward the direction approaching the first engaging portion 14 (as shown in the direction D2 in fig. 5), the top wall 121 is moved toward the first side wall 111 (as shown in the direction D2 in fig. 5), so that the accommodating space 11a is reduced in the extending direction of the camera 13, and the thickness of the camera module 1 is reduced. When the second engaging portion 15 moves away from the first engaging portion 14 (as shown in a direction D3 in fig. 6), the top wall 121 is driven to move away from the first side wall 111 (as shown in a direction D3 in fig. 6), so that the accommodating space 11a is enlarged in the extending direction of the camera 13, and a foundation is provided for the camera to extend.

In addition, the moving direction of the second engaging portion 15 with respect to the first engaging portion 14 is parallel to the moving direction of the second housing 12. The first engaging portion 14 can be stationary or movable relative to the second engaging portion 15, and the size of the accommodating space 11a can be adjusted in the extending direction of the camera 13 only by the moving direction of the second engaging portion 15 relative to the first engaging portion 14 being parallel to the moving direction of the second housing 12. In the present embodiment, only the first engaging portion 14 is described as being relatively stationary, and the second engaging portion 15 is schematically described as being movable relative to the first engaging portion 14.

When the large-focus camera 13 is not needed, the motor 16 can be in a working state, and the second matching part 15 can be driven to rotate relative to the first matching part 14, so that the second matching part 15 can move towards the direction close to the first matching part 14, and the second matching part 15 drives the second shell 12 to move towards the direction close to the image sensor 21, so that the large-focus camera 13 is shortened, the size of the accommodating space 11a is adjusted, and the thickness of the camera module 1 is reduced. In summary, in the present embodiment, the motor 16 is additionally provided, so that the motor 16 drives the second engaging portion 15 to move relative to the first engaging portion 14, thereby automatically adjusting the thickness of the camera module 1 and improving the practicability of the camera module 1.

Therefore, when the top wall 121 moves toward a direction close to or away from the first side wall 111, the camera 13 can be synchronously driven to extend or shorten, i.e., the vertical distance between the object side 131 and the image side 132 of the camera 13 is adjusted to adjust the focal length. Optionally, a protective member is disposed at the junction of the object side 131 and the top wall 121.

The driving mechanism 133 may be provided in the housing space 11a or outside the housing space 11a, and only the driving mechanism 133 needs to be connected to the camera 13. When the top wall 121 moves toward a direction close to or away from the first side wall 111, the driving mechanism 133 can drive the camera 13 to extend or contract, i.e., adjust the vertical distance between the object side 131 and the image side 132 of the camera 13, so as to adjust the focal length. The order of moving the top wall 121 and the camera 13 is not limited in the present embodiment.

The shape and number of the wear-resistant members 17 are not limited, and only need to be attachable to the first side wall 111 or the second side wall 122. Optionally, the attachment means of the wear member 17 to the first sidewall 111 or the second sidewall 122 includes, but is not limited to, bonding, snap-fit attachment, fixed attachment, etc. Optionally, the first sidewall 111 or the second sidewall 122 is provided with a second receiving groove 171, and at least a portion of the wear-resistant member 17 is disposed in the second receiving groove 171. Optionally, the camera module 1 comprises a plurality of wear parts 17.

In addition, the wear member 17 is connected between the first sidewall 111 and the second sidewall 122. When the first sidewall 111 is closer to the accommodating space 11a than the second sidewall 122, the wear-resistant member 17 can be connected to the outer side of the first sidewall 111 or the inner side of the second sidewall 122. When the second sidewall 122 is closer to the accommodating space 11a than the first sidewall 111, the wear-resistant member 17 can be connected to the inner side of the first sidewall 111 or the outer side of the second sidewall 122. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the position where the wear-resistant member 17 is connected to the first side wall 111 or the second side wall 122 is not limited, and the wear-resistant member 17 may be connected between the first side wall 111 and the second side wall 122.

Referring to fig. 13, fig. 13 is a schematic cross-sectional view taken along a direction a-a in fig. 1 according to yet another embodiment of the present disclosure.

The first sealing member 18 in the compressed state has a repulsive force to the first housing 11 and the second housing 12, and the sealing performance of the first sealing member 18 can be further improved, and the waterproof and dustproof performance of the camera module 1 can be further improved.

The first sealing member 18 provided in this embodiment further includes a first portion 181 and a second portion 182. In actual production, the first portion 181 and the second portion 182 may be integrally formed structural members, but for convenience of understanding, the first portion 181 and the second portion 182 are named differently. Since the width of one of the first portion 181 and the second portion 182 is smaller than the width of the other of the first portion 181 and the second portion 182, i.e., in one embodiment, the width of the first portion 181 is greater than the width of the second portion 182. In another embodiment, the width of the second portion 182 is greater than the width of the first portion 181. The present embodiment will be described schematically only with the width of the first portion 181 being greater than the width of the second portion 182.

As shown in fig. 13, in the present embodiment, the first seal 18 can be added to improve the sealing performance between the first housing 11 and the second housing 12, thereby improving the service life of the camera module 1.

The present embodiment will be schematically described with only the first portion 181 having the concave groove 184 on the side away from the image sensor 21.

As shown in fig. 14, since the first seal member 18 has the groove 184, the shape of the first seal member 18 can also be regarded as a Y-shaped seal ring. The sealing performance of the sealing ring is related to the parameters of the sealing ring, such as the shape and material of the sealing ring. In addition, compared with the common O-shaped sealing ring, the pressure resistance of the Y-shaped sealing ring is better, for example, the working pressure of the Y-shaped sealing ring is generally not more than 40MPa, but the working pressure of the O-shaped sealing ring is not more than 2.5 MPa. When the second housing 12 moves relative to the first housing 11, the groove 184 deforms under the action of external force, and the contact pressure of the lip edge to the coupling surface is increased, so that the lip edge of the first seal ring is attached to the first housing 11 or the second housing 12 more tightly, the sealing performance between the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 is further improved, and the service life of the camera module 1 is further prolonged.
