FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the hardware structure of a camera assembly of the present application. As shown in FIG. 1 , the camera assembly 1 includes a lens 10, a filter assembly 20, and a sensor module 30, wherein:

The filter assembly 20 is connected to the lens 10, and the filter assembly 20 includes at least one turning element 21, the turning element 21 is arranged in the optical path channel of the camera assembly 1 for reflecting For the light of the lens 10, the direction of the light entering the turning element 21 is different from the direction of the light reflected by the turning element 21;

The sensor module 30 is connected with the turning element 21 and used for receiving light reflected by the turning element 21 .

The technical solution of the present application adopts the structure that the filter assembly 20 includes the steering element 21, and the sensor module 30 is connected to the steering element 21, thereby changing the orientation of the light path channel in the conventional camera assembly 1 and the photosensitive device in the sensor module 30.

Optionally, the guide element 21 is a prism, which is arranged in the optical path channel of the camera assembly 1 , and is used to change the direction of the optical path of light after entering the camera assembly 1 .

In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , the camera assembly 1 is applied to a mobile phone. Optionally, the camera assembly 1 is installed in the casing of the mobile phone, and the lens 10 is arranged corresponding to the front light guide hole of the casing of the mobile phone. When the camera or camera function is turned on, the light passes through the lens 10 and reaches the filter assembly 20 , and when passing through the turning element 21 in the filter assembly 20 , the direction of the light changes and is reflected to the sensor module 30 . Due to the camera assembly 1 of the technical solution of the present application, the structure in which the direction of the long side of the sensor module 30 is in the same direction as the direction of the long side of the lens 10 is changed in the traditional front camera. The light entering the camera assembly 1 no longer reaches the sensor module 30 in the same light direction after passing through the lens 10 , but reaches the sensor module 30 after passing through the lens 10 and being reflected by the steering element 21 . The sensor module 30 "stands up" relative to the shell of the mobile phone, so when increasing the pixels of the camera assembly, the length of the sensor module 30 in the horizontal direction can be increased to increase the pixels of the camera without increasing the number of pixels of the mobile phone. overall thickness. Therefore, while improving the quality of taking photos, the overall appearance of the mobile phone is guaranteed.

In this way, the technical solution of the present application solves the problem of improving the shooting quality of the camera assembly on the basis of maintaining the original thickness of the mobile terminal, and realizing wide-angle shooting in the horizontal direction.

In one embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 , the light incident surface of the sensor module 30 is perpendicular to the light incident surface of the lens 10 . In this way, the light passing through the lens 10 can reach the sensor module 30 in a direction perpendicular to the original direction after being reflected by at least one turning element 21 .

Optionally, the direction of light entering the turning element 21 is perpendicular to the direction of light reflected by the turning element 21 . The direction of the light passing through the lens 10 is the same as the direction of the light entering the diverting element 21 , and the light is reflected perpendicular to the original direction after reaching the diverting element 21 , and reaches the sensor module 30 . As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2, the direction of the arrow is the light direction.

In one embodiment, the camera assembly 1 further includes a casing 40 , a camera hole 41 is provided on the surface of the casing 40 , and the lens 10 is arranged at the camera hole 41 . In this way, the housing 40 is used to fix and protect the lens 10, the filter assembly 20 and the sensor module 30. Optionally, the lens 10 is arranged at the camera hole 41 of the housing 40, and is used to receive the mobile phone to enter the camera assembly 1 when taking pictures. of light.

In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , the shape of the lens 10 is rectangular or elliptical. In this way, by changing the shape of the lens 10 so that the lens 10 has a long side and a short side, more light can enter the lens 10 in the direction of the long side, thereby increasing the coverage of the camera field of view and achieving the effect of wide-angle shooting.

Optionally, as shown in FIG. 1 , the length of the lens 10 in the horizontal direction is greater than or equal to the length of the lens 10 in the vertical direction. Optionally, the shape of the lens 10 is a rectangle arranged horizontally. In this way, more light can enter the lens 10 in the horizontal length direction, thereby achieving a larger viewing angle covered by the camera in the horizontal length direction.

In daily life, when people take wide-angle shots, they usually turn on the normal camera mode, and then need to hold the mobile phone left and right when taking pictures, and then use the mobile phone software to synthesize the photos taken in the normal camera mode , so as to obtain a photo with a wide-angle shooting effect. However, this way of taking pictures will cause users to take pictures inconveniently, it takes a long time to take pictures, and there should be no large shaking, otherwise it will affect the imaging of the mobile phone camera; at the same time, after the pictures taken are processed by software, the processing traces are obvious, resulting in The imaging effect is not good, thereby reducing the user experience.

In this embodiment, since the rectangular lens 10 arranged horizontally is used, the rectangular lens 10 can accept more light than the conventional lens 10 in the horizontal direction, so the user can complete the wide-angle lens without swinging the mobile phone left and right when taking pictures. Shooting improves the user experience.

When the mobile phone on the market adds a wide-angle camera to realize the wide-angle shooting function, it will cause two problems: after the mobile phone realizes the wide-angle shooting, the quality of the picture obtained by the wide-angle shooting is relatively low because the pixels of the mobile phone camera are not enough to meet the requirements of the wide-angle shooting. low, reducing the user experience; or, after the manufacturer adds a wide-angle camera to the mobile phone, the pixel of the mobile phone camera is increased at the same time, but it will increase the volume of the sensor module of the camera by 30%, so that the camera protrudes significantly or the overall thickness of the mobile phone increases, reducing the User experience. However, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4 , a rectangular lens 10 is adopted on the basis of a structure in which the filter assembly 20 includes a steering element 21 and the sensor module 30 is located on one side of the steering element 21, so that the camera can be used While the mobile phone of component 1 can realize the wide-angle shooting function, it has enough pixels to meet the needs of picture imaging in wide-angle shooting, which can not only ensure the quality of the picture, but also avoid affecting the overall performance of the mobile phone due to the increase in the volume of the sensor module 30 of the camera. The appearance is aesthetically pleasing and has extremely high practicability.

In one embodiment, the shape of the imaging hole 41 is a horizontal rounded rectangle. On the basis that the camera assembly 1 adopts a horizontally arranged rectangular lens 10, the shape of the camera hole 41 is set as a horizontally arranged rounded rectangle, so that the camera hole 41 is compatible with the rectangular lens 10, and the front camera guide of the mobile phone shell The light hole has the same shape as the camera hole 41 to fit the camera hole 41 and the rectangular lens 10 . When adding a wide-angle camera to a mobile phone on the market, the camera hole 41 adapted to the wide-angle camera is relatively large, which greatly affects the appearance of the mobile phone. When the camera is applied to the front camera of the mobile phone, it will also affect the user's viewing of the mobile phone screen, thereby reducing the user's experience with the mobile phone. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the shape of the camera hole 41 and the shape of the front light guide hole of the mobile phone casing are all set to a horizontally arranged rounded rectangle that is compatible with the rectangular lens 10 that realizes horizontal wide-angle shooting, and can realize horizontal While the directional wide-angle shooting function does not affect the user's viewing of the mobile phone screen, it also ensures the aesthetics of the mobile phone's appearance and improves the user's experience.

In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2 , the length of the lens 10 in the vertical direction is greater than or equal to the length of the lens 10 in the horizontal direction. Optionally, the shape of the lens 10 is a vertically arranged rectangle, so that more light can enter the lens 10 in the vertical length direction, thereby realizing a larger field of view angle covered by the camera in the vertical length direction , so that the mobile phone can realize the function of wide-angle shooting in the vertical direction.

In this embodiment, the shape of the camera hole 41 and the shape of the front light guide hole of the mobile phone casing are all set to a vertically arranged rounded rectangle, so that the camera hole 41 and the front light guide hole of the mobile phone casing The shapes are all configured to match with the rectangular lens 10 for use.

In one embodiment, the camera assembly 1 further includes a control module, the control module is electrically connected to the lens, and is used to drive the lens 10 to achieve optical zoom. Optionally, the control module drives the lens 10 to move its position to change the focal length of the light passing through the lens 10, so that the camera assembly 1 can enable the front camera of the mobile phone to have telephoto and local magnification functions. For example, when the proactive camera is turned on when making up, through the proactive telephoto and local zoom-in functions, only the eyebrows or eyelashes can be proactively photographed, which is more convenient for users to refer to makeup. In this way, the zoom function of the camera assembly 1 makes the camera assembly 1 more practical.

Since the mobile phone using the camera assembly 1 realizes the shooting operations of the normal shooting mode and the wide-angle shooting mode through the same camera, the control module is also used to switch between the normal shooting mode and the wide-angle shooting mode of the mobile phone. In practical applications, when the user opens the camera application of the mobile phone, there will be a virtual switching button on the shooting screen, and the mode switching between the normal shooting mode and the wide-angle shooting mode can be realized by clicking the virtual switching button.

In one embodiment, the camera assembly 1 further includes a light blocking element, the light blocking element is connected to the control module, and the control module is used to drive the light blocking element so that the light blocking element blocks The lens 10.

Optionally, the light blocking element is arranged between the housing 40 and the light incident surface of the lens 10 for moving on the light incident surface of the lens 10 to control the The amount of light entering.

In the actual application process, the control module drives the light blocking element to move its position and block the lens 10, thereby changing the amount of light entering the lens 10, so that the camera assembly 1 can realize the functions of custom wide angle and angle offset. That is, the user can select the gear position of the front wide-angle angle according to actual needs, such as 90-degree wide-angle, 100-degree wide-angle, 110-degree wide-angle or 120-degree wide-angle, etc. When the user switches between different wide-angle gears, the light blocking element The lens 10 is blocked in different degrees to change the amount of light entering the lens 10, thereby changing the image formed by the front camera, and realizing the function of customizing the wide angle. It can be understood that by driving the light-blocking element to move the position, the function of shifting the angle of the front camera can also be realized. For example, when the mobile phone and the scene to be photographed cannot move, the user can choose to take pictures of different degrees such as 0.2m, 0.5m, and 1m. Image shift, when the user chooses to shift to the left by 0.5m, the control module will drive the light blocking element to block the lens 10 accordingly, so as to form an image formed by shifting the screen to the left in normal shooting mode.

Optionally, the self-defined wide-angle and angle offset functions of the proactive camera can also be realized through the mobile phone software and the camera component 1 . For example, after the camera assembly 1 forms a full wide-angle front-view image, the mobile phone software processes the front-view image, only displays the front-view image corresponding to the user-defined angle part or the angle offset part, and displays the front-view image The redundant part of the camera is cropped and removed, so as to achieve the function of custom angle and angle offset of the proactive.

In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3 , the length of the light-incoming surface of the sensor module 30 in the horizontal direction is greater than or equal to the length of the light-incoming surface of the sensor module 30 in the vertical direction. Optionally, the ratio of the length in the horizontal direction to the length in the vertical direction may be 4:3, 16:9, etc., or any ratio greater than or equal to 16:9, which is not specifically limited here. In this way, the sensor module 30 is more conducive to receiving the light reflected by the reverse element 21 and facilitates assembly.

In an embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5 , the camera hole 41 may be located at the black border part of the mobile phone casing. In the field of existing mobile phone technology, it is one of the mainstream trends in mobile phone research and development to realize a full screen and improve the user's viewing experience on the mobile phone screen. The solutions to realize the full screen include: the mobile phone adopts the water drop screen, the blind hole screen and the Notch screen. These solutions are placed in the mobile phone screen with the front camera, or the mobile phone screen needs to be cut off to make room for the front camera. Other full screen The implementation scheme also includes proactive lifting, proactive under-screen and sliding cover. However, they all involve complex connection methods, which affect the reliability of mobile phones, and the user experience is not ideal. In the solution proposed by this application, the front camera light guide hole of the mobile phone housing and the camera hole 41 corresponding to the front camera light guide hole are set on the black edge part of the mobile phone shell and the screen connection edge, that is, the front camera is set on the outside of the mobile phone screen The black border part of the mobile phone will not affect the area of the mobile phone screen, ensuring the user's viewing experience on the mobile phone screen. It is a highly feasible full-screen implementation solution.

The present application also proposes a mobile terminal, which includes a camera assembly. For the specific structure of the camera assembly, refer to the above-mentioned embodiments.

In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5 , taking the mobile terminal as a mobile phone 1000 as an example, the above-mentioned camera assembly 1 is disposed in the casing of the mobile phone. Optionally, the lens of the camera assembly is arranged in the front light guide hole of the mobile phone casing, that is, the black edge part of the mobile phone casing. Therefore, the mobile phone 1000 will not affect the area of the screen due to the proactive camera, which ensures the viewing experience of the user on the mobile phone screen. At the same time, because the camera module has a periscope forward structure and a rectangular lens, the mobile phone 1000 has a wide-angle forward function, and can ensure the quality of the image formed by the wide-angle forward function without increasing the body of the mobile phone. The thickness is adapted to the thickness of the sensor of the traditional camera assembly, which ensures the aesthetic appearance of the mobile phone 1000.
