  In the camera module described above, when a movable part including a lens is driven or an external force is applied, the members come into contact with each other, and foreign matter is generated inside the camera module by the contact. If the foreign matter enters the IR (Infrared) cut filter at the center of the camera module, there is a problem that the foreign matter appears in the image during camera shooting.

  In addition, there is a problem that the existing foreign matter inside the camera module enters the IR cut filter through the gap between the movable part and the fixed part, and appears in the image at the time of camera shooting.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and one object of the present invention is to provide a camera module that can prevent the generation of foreign matters inside the camera module.

  Another object of the present invention is to provide a camera module that can prevent existing foreign matter from entering the IR cut filter.

  The camera module of the present invention includes a fixed portion, a movable portion, an elastic member, and a protective member. The movable part has a lens and is supported by the fixed part so as to be movable along the optical axis direction of the lens. The elastic member connects the fixed part and the movable part. The protective member is provided at a location where at least one of the fixed portion and the movable portion collides with the elastic member when the movable portion moves relative to the fixed portion, and has a hardness equal to or higher than the hardness of the elastic member. Yes.

  According to the camera module of the present invention, the protection member is provided at a location where at least one of the fixed portion and the movable portion collides with the elastic member. For this reason, even if the movable part moves relative to the fixed part, the elastic member does not directly contact at least one of the fixed part and the movable part. Therefore, since the elastic member is in direct contact with at least one of the fixed portion and the movable portion, the fixed portion and the movable portion are not scraped and foreign matter is not generated.

  A protective member is provided at a location where at least one of the fixed portion and the movable portion collides with the elastic member. For this reason, when the movable part moves relative to the fixed part, the elastic member comes into contact with the protective member. This protective member has a hardness equal to or higher than the hardness of the elastic member. Therefore, even if the protective member is in contact with the elastic member, it can be prevented from being scraped, and the generation of foreign matters can be prevented.

  As described above, since dust generation inside the camera module can be prevented, foreign matter can be prevented from entering the IR cut filter.

  Hereinafter, various embodiments of the camera module of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view schematically showing a configuration of a camera module according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing the configuration of the camera module according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. With reference to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the camera module according to the present embodiment includes a movable part, a fixed part, and an elastic member 10.

  The movable part has a lens 4, a lens holder 5, and a coil 6. The lens holder 5 has, for example, a cylindrical tube portion (holder portion) 5a, and a flange portion (carrier portion) 5b that extends to the outer peripheral side at one end of the tube portion 5a. The lens 4 is held inside the cylindrical portion 5a. The coil 6 has a cylindrical shape and is held by the flange portion 5b so as to surround the outer periphery of the cylindrical portion 5a. The coil 6 is wound around the outer periphery of the lens holder 5 so that the optical axis 1 of the lens 4 is the central axis.

  The lens holder 5 may have a structure that can be separated into two parts, a cylindrical part 5a for storing the lens 4 and a flange part 5b for installing the coil 6, so that the position of the lens 4 can be adjusted after assembly.

  The fixed portion includes a yoke 8, a resin frame 9, a magnet 7, an IR cut filter 2, and a protection member 11. The resin frame 9 has a rectangular outer shape in a plan view and has a circular through hole 9a in the center. As the material of the resin frame 9, for example, a liquid crystalline polymer resin is used. A yoke 8 is attached to one surface side of the resin frame 9.

  The yoke 8 has a substantially flat upper wall portion 8a and side wall portions 8b provided upright on four sides of the upper wall portion 8a. A circular through hole 8c is provided in the center of the upper wall 8a in plan view. A magnet 7 is attached to the inner peripheral side of the side wall portion 8 b of the yoke 8.

  The magnet 7 is composed of a plurality of (for example, four) magnet members, and each of the plurality of magnet members is disposed on a circumference around the optical axis 1 of the lens 4. The magnetic field applied to the coil 6 by the magnet 7 is desirably uniform on any circumference.

  An IR cut filter 2 is attached to the other surface side of the resin frame 9 so as to cover the through hole 9a. An image sensor 3 is disposed under the IR cut filter 2.

  In a state where the movable portion and the fixed portion are assembled, the cylindrical portion 5 a of the lens holder 5 is disposed in the through hole 8 c at the center of the upper wall portion 8 a of the yoke 8. Further, inside the yoke 8, the coil 6 is arranged on the inner peripheral side of the magnet 7 so that the magnet 7 and the coil 6 face each other with a predetermined clearance.

  The elastic member 10 connects the movable part and the fixed part. As this elastic member 10, for example, a leaf spring or a coil spring is used. The elastic member 10 includes, for example, a movable portion side adhesive portion 10a having a ring shape on the inner peripheral side, a fixed portion side adhesive portion 10c having a ring shape on the outer peripheral side, and the movable portion side adhesive portion 10a and the fixed portion side adhesive. And a plurality of arm portions 10b connecting the portions 10c.

  The movable part side adhesive part 10a is adhered to the lower end of the cylindrical part 5a, and the fixed part side adhesive part 10c is sandwiched between both the yoke 8 and the resin frame 9 and adhered to both. The arm portion 10b is not bonded to either the movable portion or the fixed portion, is in a free state, and has elasticity. As a result, the movable portion can move relative to the fixed portion along the direction of the optical axis 1 of the lens 4. The movable range of the movable portion is determined between two points, one surface of the resin frame 9 (upper surface in the drawing) and the lower end portion of the through hole 8c of the yoke 8 in the drawing.

  The protection member 11 is provided at a location where at least one of the fixed portion and the movable portion collides (contacts) with the elastic member 10 when the movable portion moves relative to the fixed portion. In the present embodiment, the protection member 11 is provided on the one surface (upper surface in the drawing) of the resin frame 9 and in a portion that contacts the movable portion side adhesive portion 10 a of the elastic member 10.

  The protective member 11 has a hardness equal to or higher than that of the elastic member 10. This hardness is based on “scratch hardness (pencil method)” (see JIS K5600-5-4) as an index of damage. The protective member 11 has a hardness that is not damaged by the HB pencil in the above index. In the present embodiment, the protective member 11 is made of the same material as that of the elastic member 10, for example, metal, glass, ceramic, or the like. The protection member 11 may be provided on the entire circumference so as to surround the optical axis 1 of the lens 4.

  At least one of the fixed part and the movable part has a recess (groove, notch) 12 at a location facing the elastic member 10. In the present embodiment, the groove 12 is provided on one surface of the resin frame 9 facing the arm portion 10b of the elastic member 10, and the flange portion 5b of the lens holder 5 facing the arm portion 10b of the elastic member 10 is provided. A groove 12 is provided on the lower surface of the substrate.

  The wall surface of the recess 12 is an adhesive surface 13. In the present embodiment, both the wall surface of the groove 12 provided on one surface of the resin frame 9 and the wall surface of the groove 12 provided on the lower surface of the flange portion 5 b of the lens holder 5 serve as the adhesive surface 13. The adhesive surface 13 is formed by attaching an adhesive tape.

  The groove 12 may be provided not only on the upper and lower portions of the elastic member 10 but also on the entire circumference of the lens holder 5 of the movable part and the resin frame 9 of the fixed part.

Next, the operation of the movable part in the camera module of the present embodiment will be described.
Referring to FIG. 2, the lens 4 side is the upper side, and the image sensor 3 side is the lower side. The movable part and the fixed part are connected via the elastic member 10, and the movable part is moved toward one side (upper side in the figure) of the movable range and held by the reaction force of the elastic member 10. From this state, when an electric current is passed through the coil 6, an electromagnetic force that moves the movable part downward in the drawing works. Due to this electromagnetic force, the movable part moves downward in the figure as shown in FIG. At this time, the position of the movable portion is a position where the electromagnetic force and the restoring force of the elastic member 10 are balanced. Thus, the amount of movement of the movable part in the vertical direction in the figure can be determined by the amount of current flowing through the coil 6, and autofocus can be achieved.

  In the above description, the case where the movable part is positioned on the upper side in the figure without supplying current to the coil 6 has been described. However, the movable part is positioned on the lower side in the figure without supplying current to the coil 6. The movable portion may be moved upward in the drawing by passing a current through the coil 6.

Next, functions and effects of the camera module according to the present embodiment will be described.
The movable part is held by the elastic member 10 with respect to the fixed part. However, the movable part is moved by the movement of the movable part including the lens 4 when the autofocus mechanism operates and the external excitation force applied to the camera module. It may move while rubbing at the point of contact with the fixed part. Further, since the arm portion 10b of the elastic member 10 is formed by, for example, etching or wire cutting processing on a metal member, a sharp edge shape is often formed at both ends of the arm portion 10b. For this reason, at the contact point between the edge portion of the elastic member 10 and the fixed portion, for example, the surface of the liquid crystal polymer resin constituting the fixed portion is scraped by the edge portion and becomes a foreign substance in the camera module. In addition, the liquid crystalline polymer resin has a feature that the surface after molding tends to be rough, and foreign matter is likely to be generated even at a light impact or small vibration at a contact point with the fixed portion or the elastic member 10.

  According to the present embodiment, the protective member 11 is provided at a location where the fixed portion collides with the elastic member 10. For this reason, even if the movable part moves relative to the fixed part, the elastic member 10 does not directly contact the fixed part. Therefore, when the elastic member 10 is in direct contact with the fixed portion, the fixed portion is not scraped and foreign matter is not generated.

  A protective member 11 is provided at a location where the fixed portion collides with the elastic member 10. For this reason, when the movable part moves relative to the fixed part, the elastic member 10 comes into contact with the protective member 11. The protective member 11 has a hardness equal to or higher than that of the elastic member 10. Therefore, even if the protective member 11 is in contact with the elastic member 10, it is possible to prevent the protective member 11 from being scraped and to prevent generation of foreign matters.

  As described above, since dust generation inside the camera module can be prevented, foreign matter can be prevented from entering the IR cut filter.

  A concave portion (for example, a groove) 12 is provided in the lens holder 5 of the movable portion facing the arm portion 10 b of the elastic member 10 and the resin frame 9 of the fixed portion. For this reason, the arm part 10b of the elastic member 10, the lens holder 5, and the resin frame 9 do not contact. Since the elastic member 10 and the resin member (the lens holder 5 and the resin frame 9) can be prevented from coming into direct contact by the recess 12 as well, no foreign matter is generated due to wear or scraping of the resin inside the camera module.

  The wall surface of the concave portion (for example, groove) 12 of the lens holder 5 and the resin frame 9 is an adhesive surface 13. Thereby, since the existing foreign material existing inside the camera module is captured by the adhesive surface 13, the foreign material can be prevented from entering the IR cut filter 2 from the gap between the movable portion and the fixed portion.

  The elastic member 10 is made of a very thin metal plate, and this shape is made by etching or precision pressing. At this time, since the corner portions of the four corners in the cross section of the elastic member 10 have a sharp edge shape, the resin frame 9 is scraped off when the edges come into contact with the resin frame 9 to become a dust generation source.

  Therefore, in the contact portion between the elastic member 10 and the resin frame 9 of the fixed portion, the area of the contact portion on the resin frame 9 side is made smaller than the area of the area where the elastic member 10 can be contacted, It is preferable that the edge portion of the end portion does not contact the resin frame 9. That is, it is preferable that the movable portion and the fixed portion are in surface contact. For example, by providing a protrusion with a width smaller than the width of the arm portion 10b of the elastic member 10 on the resin frame 9, and making the tip of the protrusion contact the central portion of the arm portion 10b, the protrusion Is prevented from contacting the edge portion of the arm portion 10b.

  As shown in FIG. 2, when the movable part is driven to the upper end in the drawing, when members having different hardness such as metal and resin come into contact with each other, or the elastic member 10 is provided at the upper end of the camera module. Similarly, when 10 and the resin member come into contact with each other, dust generation may be prevented by providing the protective member 11 at the contact portion.

(Embodiment 2)
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing the configuration of the camera module according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 4, the configuration of the camera module of the present embodiment is different in the configurations of resin frame 9, lens holder 5, and protection member 11 compared to the configuration of the first embodiment.

  In the present embodiment, the protection member 11 has a wall (rib) 11a perpendicular to the inside of the camera module, thereby having an L-shaped cross-sectional shape. The upper end of the vertical wall (rib) 11a of the protection member 11 is a portion that comes into contact with the movable portion side adhesive portion 10a of the elastic member 10 when the movable portion moves downward in the figure. The protection member 11 is provided on the entire circumference so as to surround the center of the camera module, and the vertical wall 11a of the protection member 11 is also provided on the entire circumference. The outer peripheral surface of the vertical wall 11 a is an adhesive surface 13.

  In addition, the concave portion (for example, groove) is not provided in the lens holder 5 of the movable portion facing the arm portion 10b of the elastic member 10 and the resin frame 9 of the fixed portion.

  Since the configuration of the present embodiment other than the above is substantially the same as the configuration of the first embodiment, the same elements are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is not repeated.

  According to the present embodiment, by providing the protective member 11 on the resin frame 9 of the fixed portion, the elastic member 10 and the resin frame 9 do not come into direct contact. Therefore, when the elastic member 10 is in direct contact with the fixed portion, the fixed portion is not scraped and foreign matter is not generated.

  A protective member 11 is provided at a location where the fixed portion collides with the elastic member 10, and the protective member 11 has a hardness equal to or higher than the hardness of the elastic member 10. Therefore, even if the protective member 11 is in contact with the elastic member 10, it is possible to prevent the protective member 11 from being scraped and to prevent generation of foreign matters.

  As described above, since dust generation inside the camera module can be prevented, foreign matter can be prevented from entering the IR cut filter.

  Further, since the vertical wall 11a of the protection member 11 contacts the movable part side adhesive part 10a of the elastic member 10, the movable part side adhesive part 10a does not fall to the same height as the fixed part side adhesive part 10c. For this reason, there is always a space between the arm portion 10b of the elastic member 10 and the lens holder 5, and there is no contact. Therefore, since it is not necessary to provide a concave part in the lens holder 5 of the movable part facing the arm part 10b of the elastic member 10 and the resin frame 9 of the fixed part, the manufacturing cost can be suppressed.

  Further, since the protective member 11 surrounds the entire circumference of the camera module, and the outer peripheral surface of the vertical wall 11a of the protective member 11 is the adhesive surface 13, existing foreign substances existing inside the camera module are captured by the adhesive surface 13. Is done. Thereby, it can suppress that a foreign material enters into IR cut filter 2 from the crevice between a movable part and a fixed part.

  The protective member 11 may not surround the entire circumference of the camera module, and may be provided only around the arm portion 10b of the elastic member 10. Further, the elastic member 10 and the protection member 11 are constituted by one part, and the outer peripheral side end portion of the elastic member 10 is folded back to form an L-shaped cross-sectional shape at the contact portion with the movable portion side adhesive portion 10a. It may be configured to have eleven functions.

(Embodiment 3)

A substantially V-shaped outer peripheral wall 11 c of the protection member 11 is attached to the inner peripheral wall of the resin frame 9. Further, the substantially V-shaped inner peripheral wall 11b of the protection member 11 has a tapered portion 11b ₁ positioned on the inner peripheral side toward the upper side and a vertical portion 11b ₂ positioned on the tapered portion 11b _1. ing. The upper end of the vertical portion 11b ₂ protrudes upward from the upper surface of the resin frame 9.

  In the present embodiment, the positioning member 14 is attached to the movable portion side adhesive portion 10 a of the elastic member 10. The positioning member 14 has an L-shaped cross-sectional shape. The positioning member 14 has an attachment part 14a for attaching to the movable part side adhesive part 10a, and a vertical wall 14b extending downward from an outer peripheral side end of the attachment part 14a.

When the vertical wall 14b enters between the outer peripheral wall portion 11c and the inner peripheral wall portion 11b of the protective member 11, and the movable portion moves downward, the vertical wall 14b contacts the tapered portion 11b ₁ . Thus, the positioning member 14 is arranged. The outer peripheral surface of the vertical wall 14 b of the positioning member 14 is an adhesive surface 13.

  Each of the protection member 11 and the positioning member 14 is preferably provided on the entire circumference so as to surround the center of the camera module.

Therefore, even if the protective member 11 is in contact with the elastic member 10, it is possible to prevent the protective member 11 from being scraped and to prevent generation of foreign matters.

  As described above, since dust generation inside the camera module can be prevented, foreign matter can be prevented from entering the IR cut filter.

Further, since the upper end of the vertical portion 11b ₂ of the protection member 11 contacts the mounting portion 14a of the positioning member 14, the movable portion side adhesive portion 10a does not drop to the same height as the fixed portion side adhesive portion 10c. For this reason, there is always a space between the arm portion 10b of the elastic member 10 and the lens holder 5, and there is no contact. Therefore, since it is not necessary to provide a concave part in the lens holder 5 of the movable part facing the arm part 10b of the elastic member 10 and the resin frame 9 of the fixed part, the manufacturing cost can be suppressed.

  Further, since the positioning member 14 surrounds the entire circumference of the camera module and the outer peripheral surface of the vertical wall 14b of the positioning member 14 is the adhesive surface 13, the existing foreign matter existing inside the camera module is captured by the adhesive surface 13.
