This application relates to the field of camera technologies, and in particular, to a motor, a camera module, and an electronic device.
With popularization and development of smartphones, photographing by using a mobile phone becomes a photographing manner commonly used by people, and a mobile phone having both an optical image stabilization function and an auto focus function is increasingly popular among users. A camera module includes an image stabilization motor and a focus motor. The image stabilization motor is located on an inner side of the focus motor. When the camera module needs to focus, the focus motor needs to drive structures such as the image stabilization motor, a lens, and a variable aperture to move in an optical axis direction. As such, a weight of a moving component formed by the focus motor, the image stabilization motor, the lens, the variable aperture, and the like is relatively heavy, which easily causes the moving component to overturn and have relatively poor reliability.
Embodiments of this application provide a motor, a camera module including the motor, and an electronic device including the camera module, to obtain a motor and a camera module with a moving component that is not easy to overturn and has better reliability.
According to a first aspect, a motor is provided. The motor includes a base, an image stabilization carrier, a focus carrier, an image stabilization drive mechanism, and a focus drive mechanism. The image stabilization carrier is movably connected to the base, the focus carrier is located on an inner side of the image stabilization carrier, the focus carrier is movably connected to the image stabilization carrier, and the focus carrier is configured to mount a lens. The image stabilization drive mechanism is configured to drive the image stabilization carrier and the focus carrier to move in a first direction and/or a second direction relative to the base, and the focus drive mechanism is configured to drive the focus carrier to move in a third direction relative to the image stabilization carrier. The first direction intersects the second direction, and the third direction is perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction.
It may be understood that in some solutions, the image stabilization carrier is located on an inner side of the focus carrier. In this case, when the camera module needs to focus, the focus carrier needs to drive the image stabilization carrier, the lens, and the variable aperture to move in an optical axis direction. In this way, a weight of a moving component formed by the focus carrier, the image stabilization carrier, the lens, and the variable aperture is relatively heavy, and therefore, the focus drive mechanism needs to increase a driving force by increasing a volume. Therefore, such a setting is not conducive to a light-weight and miniaturized design of the motor. In this embodiment, the focus carrier is disposed on the inner side of the image stabilization carrier. In this case, when the camera module needs to focus, the focus carrier needs to drive the lens and the variable aperture to move in a Z-axis direction. In this way, in this embodiment, the image stabilization carrier may be not needed for a moving component in a focusing process, that is, a weight of a moving component formed by the focus carrier, the lens, and the variable aperture is relatively light, thereby facilitating miniaturization of the focus drive mechanism. The motor in this embodiment can implement a light-weight and miniaturized setting.
In addition, in this embodiment, a distance between a connection position between the focus carrier and the image stabilization carrier and the center of gravity of the moving component formed by the focus carrier, the lens, and the variable aperture is relatively short, which helps reduce a risk of overturning the moving component.
It may be understood that, compared with a solution in which the image stabilization carrier is located on the inner side of the focus carrier, the image stabilization carrier needs at least two image stabilization drive mechanisms to push the image stabilization carrier to move on a plane perpendicular to the optical axis direction. In this way, it is also necessary to arrange at least two sets of circuits for the motor to provide a signal and supply power for the image stabilization drive mechanism. In addition, the at least two sets of circuits need to pass through the focus carrier. Therefore, an energizing setting in this solution is relatively complex, and difficulty in disposing the motor is increased. In this embodiment, the focus carrier is disposed on the inner side of the image stabilization carrier. Because the focus carrier needs one set of focus drive mechanism to push the focus carrier to move in the optical axis direction, the motor also needs one set of circuit to provide a signal and supply power for the focus drive mechanism, that is, a quantity of sets of circuits passing through the image stabilization carrier is relatively small. Therefore, an energizing solution of the solution in this embodiment is relatively simple, and can reduce difficulty in disposing the motor to a relatively large extent.
In addition, the focus carrier is disposed on the inner side of the image stabilization carrier, so that the focus coil and the focus magnetic member can be arranged closer to the lens. In this way, when the focus coil and the focus magnetic member are vertically arranged, the focus coil and the focus magnetic member may partially protrude from an upper surface of the motor. It may be understood that the protruding part may be disposed inside a camera decoration member, to better improve space utilization of the camera decoration member.
In a possible embodiment, the image stabilization carrier is frame-shaped, and the image stabilization carrier is disposed around the focus carrier.
In a possible embodiment, the focus drive mechanism includes a focus coil and a focus magnetic member, the focus coil is disposed on the image stabilization carrier, the focus magnetic member is disposed on the focus carrier, and the focus coil faces the focus magnetic member.
In a possible embodiment, the image stabilization carrier is provided with a through hole, and the through hole runs through an outer side surface and an inner side surface of the image stabilization carrier; and the motor includes a focus circuit board, the focus circuit board is fastened on the outer side surface of the image stabilization carrier, and the focus coil is fastened on the focus circuit board and at least partially located in the through hole.
It may be understood that at least a part of the focus coil is disposed in the through hole of the image stabilization carrier, so that structural space of the image stabilization carrier can be used to a relatively large extent, thereby facilitating miniaturization of the motor.
In a possible embodiment, the motor further includes a first focus magnetic conductive member, the first focus magnetic conductive member is fastened on a side that is of the focus circuit board and that is away from the focus coil, and the first focus magnetic conductive member is disposed opposite to the focus magnetic member.
It may be understood that, because the first focus magnetic conductive member is fastened on the image stabilization carrier through the focus circuit board, and the focus magnetic member is fastened on the focus carrier, when the first focus magnetic conductive member and the focus magnetic member generate a magnetic attraction force, the focus carrier is matched more tightly with the image stabilization carrier under an action of the magnetic attraction force. In this way, the focus carrier may be further limited in some directions on the plane perpendicular to the optical axis direction, that is, movement or shaking of the focus carrier in these directions is avoided, thereby ensuring stability of the focus carrier.
In a possible embodiment, the motor further includes a second focus magnetic conductive member and a third focus magnetic conductive member, both the second focus magnetic conductive member and the third focus magnetic conductive member are fastened on the first focus magnetic conductive member, both the second focus magnetic conductive member and the third focus magnetic conductive member protrude relative to a front surface of the first focus magnetic conductive member, and the front surface of the first focus magnetic conductive member faces the focus circuit board; and the center of the focus magnetic member is located between the center of the second focus magnetic conductive member and the center of the third focus magnetic conductive member.
It may be understood that, when the focus magnetic member moves in a positive direction of the Z-axis, a magnetic attraction force between the first focus magnetic conductive member and the focus magnetic member may enable the focus magnetic member to generate a first restoring force in a negative direction of the Z-axis, and a magnetic attraction force between the second focus magnetic conductive member and the focus magnetic member may enable the focus magnetic member to generate a second restoring force in the positive direction of the Z-axis. In this way, the first restoring force and the second restoring force may be approximately offset or completely offset. In this case, stability of the focus carrier in a process of moving in the positive direction of the Z-axis is better.
When the focus magnetic member moves in the negative direction of the Z-axis, the focus magnetic member moves from a first position to a third position. A magnetic attraction force between the first focus magnetic conductive member and the focus magnetic member may enable the focus magnetic member to generate a third restoring force in the positive direction of the Z-axis, and a magnetic attraction force between the third focus magnetic conductive member and the focus magnetic member may enable the focus magnetic member to generate a fourth restoring force in the negative direction of the Z-axis. In this way, the third restoring force and the fourth restoring force may be approximately offset or completely offset. In this case, stability of the focus carrier in a process of moving in the Z-axis direction is better.
In a possible embodiment, the focus carrier is slidably connected to the image stabilization carrier through a first sliding shaft and a second sliding shaft.
It may be understood that, in comparison with a solution in which the focus carrier is connected to the image stabilization carrier by using a ball, the focus carrier and the image stabilization carrier in this embodiment may implement surface contact. In this way, when the focus carrier slides in the Z-axis direction relative to the image stabilization carrier, it can be ensured that the focus carrier and the image stabilization carrier have better stability. In addition, because a contact area between the focus carrier and the image stabilization carrier is relatively large, when the focus carrier or the image stabilization carrier generates pressure on the X-Y plane, the focus carrier or the image stabilization carrier is not easily deformed due to relatively large pressure, thereby improving reliability of the motor to a relatively large extent.
In a possible embodiment, contact positions between the focus carrier and the first sliding shaft include a first contact position and a second contact position, a contact position between the focus carrier and the second sliding shaft includes a third contact position, and the second contact position is disposed closer to a bottom surface of the base than the third contact position; and the first focus magnetic conductive member is disposed closer to the first sliding shaft than the second sliding shaft.
It may be understood that, in this embodiment, the focus magnetic conductive member is disposed close to the first sliding shaft, so that a central position of a magnetic attraction force generated by the focus magnetic conductive member and the focus magnetic member is disposed close to the first sliding shaft. In this way, regardless of whether the focus carrier is overturned by using a first overturning axis as an axis or a second overturning axis as an axis, a vertical distance (that is, an arm of force of the magnetic attraction force) between a central position of the magnetic attraction force and the overturning axis becomes longer. In this case, a moment of the magnetic attraction force increases. The moment of the magnetic attraction force is equal to a product of a magnitude of the magnetic attraction force and the arm of force of the magnetic attraction force. Because the moment of the magnetic attraction force is increased, a capability of the focus carrier to resist overturning due to gravity is increased, that is, the focus carrier moves more stably in the Z-axis direction. The first overturning axis is a connection line between a bottom boundary line of the second contact position and a bottom boundary line of the third contact position. The second overturning axis is a connection line between a top boundary line of the first contact position and a top boundary line of the third contact position.
In a possible embodiment, the motor further includes a first reinforcement plate and a second reinforcement plate, and the first reinforcement plate and the second reinforcement plate are respectively spliced on two sides of the first focus magnetic conductive member; and both the first reinforcement plate and the second reinforcement plate are fastened on the side that is of the focus circuit board and that is away from the focus coil.
It may be understood that the first reinforcement plate and the second reinforcement plate may be configured to improve structural strength of the focus magnetic conductive member.
In a possible embodiment, the motor includes a focus drive chip, and the focus drive chip is fastened on the focus circuit board; the motor includes a plurality of wiring terminals and a plurality of conductive spring pieces, the plurality of wiring terminals are fastened on the base at an interval, and the plurality of conductive spring pieces are fastened on the image stabilization carrier at an interval; and entry ends of the plurality of conductive spring pieces are electrically connected to a plurality of ports of the focus drive chip in a one-to-one correspondence through the focus circuit board, and exit ends of the plurality of conductive spring pieces are electrically connected to the plurality of wiring terminals in a one-to-one correspondence.
It may be understood that, in this embodiment, because the image stabilization carrier may move in any direction of the X-Y plane relative to the base, a distance between the image stabilization carrier and the base changes in an image stabilization process. Therefore, in this embodiment, the conductive spring piece with an elastic force is disposed to connect the wiring terminal of the base to the focus circuit board of the image stabilization carrier, so that when a distance between the image stabilization carrier and the base changes, stretching of the conductive spring piece is used to offset the distance change, to ensure that a circuit is not easily disconnected, that is, improve circuit stability.
In a possible embodiment, the motor includes a plurality of traces, the plurality of traces are embedded on the image stabilization carrier at an interval, and both an entry end and an exit end of each trace are exposed relative to the image stabilization carrier; and the entry ends of the plurality of conductive spring pieces are electrically connected to exit ends of the plurality of traces in a one-to-one correspondence, and the exit ends of the plurality of traces are electrically connected to the plurality of ports of the focus drive chip in a one-to-one correspondence through the focus circuit board.
It may be understood that, the plurality of conductive spring pieces may be electrically connected to the plurality of ports of the focus drive chip in a one-to-one correspondence through the exit ends of the plurality of traces, where the plurality of traces is embedded on the image stabilization carrier at an interval. In this way, a part of a circuit electrically connected between the wiring terminal and the focus drive chip may be embedded in the image stabilization carrier, so that a circuit outside the image stabilization carrier can be more concise.
In a possible embodiment, the motor includes a plurality of conductive springs, and the plurality of conductive springs are fastened on the focus carrier at an interval; and exit ends of the plurality of conductive springs are electrically connected to the plurality of conductive spring pieces in a one-to-one correspondence, and entry ends of the plurality of conductive springs are configured to be electrically connected to a plurality of ports of a drive chip of a variable aperture in a one-to-one correspondence.
It may be understood that in this embodiment, because the focus carrier may move in the Z-axis direction relative to the image stabilization carrier, a distance between the focus carrier and the image stabilization carrier changes in a focusing process. Therefore, in this embodiment, the conductive spring with an elastic force is disposed, to connect the variable aperture of the focus carrier to the conductive spring piece of the image stabilization carrier, so that when the distance between the focus carrier and the image stabilization carrier changes, stretching of the conductive spring is used to offset the distance change, to ensure that a circuit is not easily disconnected, that is, improve circuit stability.
In a possible embodiment, the motor includes a focus drive chip, and the focus drive chip is fastened on the focus circuit board; and the motor includes a first flexible circuit board, and a plurality of ports of the focus drive chip are electrically connected to the first flexible circuit board through the focus circuit board.
It may be understood that, in this embodiment, because the image stabilization carrier may move in any direction of the X-Y plane relative to the base, a distance between the image stabilization carrier and the base changes in an image stabilization process. Therefore, in this embodiment, the first flexible circuit board that is bendable is disposed, to connect the base and the focus circuit board of the image stabilization carrier, so that when the distance between the image stabilization carrier and the base changes, bendability of the first flexible circuit board is used to offset the distance change, to ensure that a circuit is not easily disconnected, that is, improve circuit stability.
In a possible embodiment, the motor further includes a second flexible circuit board, the second flexible circuit board is configured to electrically connect a plurality of ports of a drive chip of a variable aperture to the first flexible circuit board in a one-to-one correspondence through the focus circuit board.
It may be understood that in this embodiment, because the focus carrier may move in the Z-axis direction relative to the image stabilization carrier, a distance between the focus carrier and the image stabilization carrier changes in a focusing process. Therefore, in this embodiment, the second flexible circuit board that is bendable is disposed, so that the variable aperture of the focus carrier is connected to the second flexible circuit board of the image stabilization carrier, so that when the distance between the focus carrier and the image stabilization carrier changes, bendable performance of the second flexible circuit board is used to offset the distance change, to ensure that a circuit is not easily disconnected, that is, improve circuit stability.
In a possible embodiment, the second flexible circuit board includes a first segment, a second segment, and a third segment, the second segment is connected between the first segment and the third segment, the first segment and the third segment are disposed opposite to each other, and the second segment is in a bent shape; and the first segment is configured to be electrically connected to the plurality of ports of the drive chip of the variable aperture, and the third segment is electrically connected to the first flexible circuit board through the focus circuit board.
It may be understood that, the second flexible circuit board is in a top-down bent and folded state, so that when the distance between the focus carrier and the image stabilization carrier changes, the bent and folded state of the second flexible circuit board is used to offset the distance change, to ensure that a circuit is not easily disconnected, that is, improve circuit stability. In addition, a very small motion reaction force of the second flexible circuit board may also be implemented.
In a possible embodiment, the focus circuit board, the first flexible circuit board, and the second flexible circuit board are of an integrally formed structure.
In a possible embodiment, the image stabilization carrier includes a first side portion and a third side portion that are disposed opposite to each other, and a second side portion and a fourth side portion that are disposed opposite to each other, and the second side portion and the fourth side portion are connected between the first side portion and the third side portion; the image stabilization drive mechanism includes a first image stabilization coil, a first image stabilization magnetic member, a second image stabilization coil, and a second image stabilization magnetic member, the first image stabilization coil is fastened on the base, the first image stabilization magnetic member is fastened on the first side portion, the first image stabilization coil faces the first image stabilization magnetic member, to drive the image stabilization carrier and the focus carrier to move in the first direction relative to the base, the second image stabilization coil is fastened on the base, the second image stabilization magnetic member is fastened on the second side portion, and the second image stabilization coil faces the second image stabilization magnetic member, to drive the image stabilization carrier and the focus carrier to move in the second direction relative to the base; and the focus coil is fastened on the third side portion, and a part of the first flexible circuit board is located between the fourth side portion and the base.
It may be understood that a part of the first flexible circuit board may alternatively be located between the fourth side portion of the image stabilization carrier and the base, so that the first flexible circuit board is located in magnetic-free space, thereby reducing impact on a magnetic member on the motor.
According to a second aspect, a camera module is provided. The camera module includes a lens, an image sensor, and the foregoing motor. The lens is mounted on the focus carrier, and the image sensor is located on a light exit side of the lens.

For ease of description, a width direction of the electronic device 1000 is defined as an X-axis. A length direction of the electronic device 1000 is a Y-axis. A thickness direction of the electronic device 1000 is a Z-axis. It may be understood that a coordinate system of the electronic device 1000 may be flexibly set according to a specific actual requirement. In this embodiment, description is provided by using an example in which an X-axis direction is a first direction, a Y-axis direction is a second direction, and a Z-axis direction is a third direction.

In an embodiment, the screen 300 may be located on a side that is of the frame 201 and that is away from the rear cover 202. In this case, the screen 300 and the rear cover 202 may be respectively located on two sides of the frame 201. The screen 300, the frame 201, and the rear cover 202 jointly enclose an interior of the electronic device 1000. The interior of the electronic device 1000 may be configured to place a component of the electronic device 1000, for example, a battery, a telephone receiver, or a microphone. The screen 300 may be a flat screen, or may be a curved screen.
For example, the camera module 100 may be located in the interior of the electronic device 1000. The camera module 100 may be located on a side that is of the screen 300 and that faces the rear cover 202. The rear cover 202 may be provided with a light transmission hole 203. A shape of the light transmission hole 203 is not limited to a circle shown in
For example, the camera module 100 may be a common camera module (that is, an optical axis direction of the camera module 100 is the Z-axis direction). In some embodiments, the camera module 100 may alternatively be a periscope camera module (that is, the optical axis direction of the camera module 100 is any direction on an X-Y plane). It may be understood that the camera module 100 in this embodiment is described by using an example of a common camera module.
As shown in
It may be understood that the optical axis direction of the camera module 100, an optical axis direction of the motor 1, and the optical axis direction of the lens 2 all are a same direction. In addition, for ease of description, the X-axis direction is defined as a width direction of the camera module 100, the Y-axis direction is defined as a length direction of the camera module 100, and the Z-axis direction is defined as the optical axis direction of the camera module 100. In another embodiment, a coordinate system of the camera module 100 may be flexibly set according to a specific actual requirement.
For example, the lens 2 may be mounted on the motor 1. Mounting positions and manners of the lens 2 and the motor 1 are described below with reference to related accompanying drawings. Details are not described herein.
It may be understood that the motor 1 may control movement of the lens 2 in the Z-axis direction, to implement auto focus (AF). In addition, the motor 1 may further control the lens 2 to move along a plane (that is, the X-Y plane) perpendicular to the optical axis. In this way, when the camera module 100 collects ambient light, if the electronic device 1000 experiences shaking on the X-Y plane due to an external force, the motor 1 may control movement of the lens 2 on the X-Y plane, to cancel a shake stroke generated by the lens 2 on the X-Y plane, to avoid or reduce a position offset caused by shaking of the lens 2. In other words, the camera module 100 in this application may control movement of the lens 2 on the X-Y plane by using the motor 1, to implement optical image stabilization (OIS) of the camera module 100, and improve imaging quality of the camera module 100.
For example, the variable aperture 3 may be located on a light entry side of the lens 2. The variable aperture 3 has an aperture hole 3a. A size of the aperture hole 3a may be automatically adjusted. Light may enter the lens 2 through the aperture hole 3a of the variable aperture 3.

It may be understood that, in comparison with a solution in which the motor 1 is fastened to the light filter holder 6, in this embodiment, the motor 1 is fastened on the module circuit board 4, so that stacking of the motor 1 and the light filter holder 6 in the Z-axis direction can be avoided, that is, the motor 1 and the light filter holder 6 may be disposed in a staggered manner on the X-Y plane, thereby reducing a height of the camera module 100 to a relatively large extent.

For example, the image stabilization carrier 12 is frame-shaped. The image stabilization carrier 12 includes a first side portion 121 and a third side portion 123 that are disposed opposite to each other, and a second side portion 122 and a fourth side portion 124 that are disposed opposite to each other. The second side portion 122 and the fourth side portion 124 are connected between the first side portion 121 and the third side portion 123.
For example, the image stabilization drive mechanism 13 includes a first image stabilization coil 131, a first image stabilization magnetic member 132, a second image stabilization coil 133, and a second image stabilization magnetic member 134. The first image stabilization coil 131 is fastened on the base 11. The first image stabilization magnetic member 132 is fastened on the first side portion 121 of the image stabilization carrier 12. The first image stabilization coil 131 faces the first image stabilization magnetic member 132, and is configured to drive the image stabilization carrier 12 to move in the X-axis direction relative to the base 11. The second image stabilization coil 133 is fastened on the base 11. The second image stabilization magnetic member 134 is fastened on the second side portion 122. The second image stabilization coil 133 faces the second image stabilization magnetic member 134, and is configured to drive the image stabilization carrier 12 to move in the Y-axis direction relative to the base 11.

For example, the focus coil 221 may be disposed around the focus drive chip 232 and the focus sensor 234. In this way, the focus drive chip 232 and the focus sensor 234 can effectively use inner space of the focus coil 221, thereby improving space utilization of the motor 1 to a relatively large extent.
It may be understood that, in another embodiment, the focus coil 221 may alternatively be a part of the circuit board assembly 23. In this way, when the circuit board assembly 23 is sold as a selling unit, the focus coil 221 may also be sold as a part of the circuit board assembly 23.

For example, the first focus magnetic conductive member 2331 includes a front surface 2334 and a top surface 2335 and a bottom surface 2336 that are disposed back to back. The front surface 2334 is connected between the top surface 2335 and the bottom surface 2336.
In an embodiment, the second focus magnetic conductive member 2332 is fastened to the top surface 2335 of the first focus magnetic conductive member 2331. A part of the second focus magnetic conductive member 2332 protrudes relative to the front surface 2334 of the first focus magnetic conductive member 2331. The third focus magnetic conductive member 2333 is fastened to the bottom surface 2336 of the first focus magnetic conductive member 2331. A part of the third focus magnetic conductive member 2333 protrudes relative to the front surface 2334 of the first focus magnetic conductive member 2331. In this way, in the Z-axis direction, the second focus magnetic conductive member 2332 and the third focus magnetic conductive member 2333 may be fastened to the first focus magnetic conductive member 2331 at an interval, and both protrude from one side of the first focus magnetic conductive member 2331. It may be understood that the second focus magnetic conductive member 2332 may be fastened to the first focus magnetic conductive member 2331 in a bending manner (a bending angle is not limited), or may be fastened to the first focus magnetic conductive member 2331 in a non-bending manner. In addition, the second focus magnetic conductive member 2332 and the first focus magnetic conductive member 2331 may be of an integrally formed structure. The second focus magnetic conductive member 2332 may alternatively be fastened to the first focus magnetic conductive member 2331 in a manner of bonding, welding, or the like. For a manner of connecting the third focus magnetic conductive member 2333 and the first focus magnetic conductive member 2331, refer to a manner of connecting the second focus magnetic conductive member 2332 and the first focus magnetic conductive member 2331. Details are not described herein again.
In another embodiment, the second focus magnetic conductive member 2332 and the third focus magnetic conductive member 2333 may alternatively be fastened to the front surface 2334 of the first focus magnetic conductive member 2331 at an interval.
In another embodiment, the focus magnetic conductive member 233 may not include the second focus magnetic conductive member 2332 and the third focus magnetic conductive member 2333.
As shown in
For example, the front surface 2334 of the first focus magnetic conductive member 2331 is fastened to a surface that is of the focus circuit board 231 and that is away from the focus coil 221.
As shown in
For example, the focus circuit board 231 is fastened on the outer side surface of the image stabilization carrier 12. At least a part of the focus coil 221 may be located in the through hole 55 of the image stabilization carrier 12. It may be understood that at least a part of the focus coil 221 is disposed in the through hole 55 of the image stabilization carrier 12, so that structural space of the image stabilization carrier 12 can be used to a relatively large extent, thereby facilitating miniaturization of the motor 1.
In this embodiment, a plane wound by a conducting wire of the focus coil 221 may be parallel to the optical axis direction. In this case, the focus coil 221 is vertically arranged, so that the focus coil 221 may occupy a relatively small area on the X-Y plane, thereby facilitating miniaturization of the motor 1.
As shown in
As shown in
For example, the focus magnetic member 222 may be fastened on the focus carrier 21 in a manner of using adhesive or the like.
For example, a groove may be disposed on the focus carrier 21. Then, the focus magnetic member 222 is disposed in the groove. In this way, a structure formed by the focus magnetic member 222 and the focus carrier 21 has relatively good integrity; and the focus magnetic member 222 may use structural space of the focus carrier 21, and the focus magnetic member 222 does not increase a size of the focus drive module to a relatively large extent. In another embodiment, the focus magnetic member 222 may be embedded in the focus carrier 21 by using an injection molding processing process.
As shown in
It may be understood that in some solutions, the image stabilization carrier is located on an inner side of the focus carrier. In this case, when the camera module needs to focus, the focus carrier needs to drive the image stabilization carrier, the lens, and the variable aperture to move in the Z-axis direction. In this way, a weight of a moving component formed by the focus carrier, the image stabilization carrier, the lens, and the variable aperture is relatively heavy, and therefore, the focus drive mechanism needs to increase a driving force by increasing a volume. Therefore, such a setting is not conducive to a light-weight and miniaturized design of the motor. In this embodiment, the focus carrier 21 is disposed on the inner side of the image stabilization carrier 12. In this case, when the camera module 100 needs to focus, the focus carrier 21 needs to drive the lens 2 and the variable aperture 3 to move in the Z-axis direction. In this way, in this embodiment, the image stabilization carrier may be not needed for the moving component in a focusing process, that is, a weight of a moving component formed by the focus carrier 21, the lens 2, and the variable aperture 3 is relatively light, thereby facilitating miniaturization of the focus drive mechanism 22. The motor 1 in this embodiment can implement a light-weight and miniaturized setting.
In addition, in this embodiment, a distance between a connection position between the focus carrier 21 and the image stabilization carrier and the center of gravity of the moving component formed by the focus carrier 21, the lens 2, and the variable aperture 3 is relatively short, which helps reduce a risk of overturning the moving component.
It may be understood that, compared with a solution in which the image stabilization carrier is located on the inner side of the focus carrier, the image stabilization carrier needs at least two image stabilization drive mechanisms to push the image stabilization carrier to move on the X-Y plane. In this way, it is also necessary to arrange at least two sets of circuits for the motor to provide a signal and supply power for the image stabilization drive mechanism. In addition, the at least two sets of circuits need to pass through the focus carrier. Therefore, an energizing setting in this solution is relatively complex, and difficulty in disposing the motor is increased. In this embodiment, the focus carrier 21 is disposed on the inner side of the image stabilization carrier 12. Because the focus carrier 21 needs one set of focus drive mechanism 22 to push the focus carrier 21 to move in the Z-axis direction, the motor 1 also needs one set of circuit to provide a signal and supply power for the focus drive mechanism 22, that is, one set of circuit needs to pass through the image stabilization carrier 12. Therefore, an energizing solution of the solution in this embodiment is relatively simple, and can reduce difficulty in disposing the motor 1 to a relatively large extent.
In addition, the focus carrier 21 is disposed on the inner side of the image stabilization carrier 12, so that the focus coil and the focus magnetic member can be arranged closer to the lens. In this way, when the focus coil and the focus magnetic member are vertically arranged, the focus coil and the focus magnetic member may partially protrude from an upper surface of the motor 1. It may be understood that the protruding part may be disposed inside a camera decoration member, to better improve space utilization of the camera decoration member.
As shown in
It may be understood that, because the image stabilization carrier 12 may move in the X-Y plane relative to the base 11, the focus carrier 21 is slidably connected to the image stabilization carrier 12 in the Z-axis direction, so that when the image stabilization carrier 12 moves in the X-Y plane relative to the base 11, the image stabilization carrier 12 may also drive the focus carrier 21 to move in the X-Y plane relative to the base 11.
In an embodiment, the focus carrier 21 is slidably connected to the image stabilization carrier 12 in the Z-axis direction through the first sliding shaft 51 and the second sliding shaft 52.
It may be understood that, in comparison with a solution in which the focus carrier 21 is connected to the image stabilization carrier 12 by using a ball, the focus carrier 21 and the image stabilization carrier 12 in this embodiment may implement surface contact. In this way, when the focus carrier 21 slides in the Z-axis direction relative to the image stabilization carrier 12, it can be ensured that the focus carrier 21 and the image stabilization carrier 12 have better stability. In addition, because a contact area between the focus carrier 21 and the image stabilization carrier 12 is relatively large, when the focus carrier 21 or the image stabilization carrier 12 generates pressure on the X-Y plane, the focus carrier 21 or the image stabilization carrier 12 is not easily deformed due to relatively large pressure, thereby improving reliability of the motor 1 to a relatively large extent.
In another embodiment, the focus carrier 21 may alternatively be connected to the image stabilization carrier 12 in the Z-axis direction in a manner of using a ball.
As shown in
It may be understood that, through cooperation between the first sliding shaft 51 and the first sliding slot 211 and cooperation between the second sliding shaft 52 and the second sliding slot 212, limiting of the focus carrier 21 in some directions on the X-Y plane is implemented, that is, movement of the focus carrier 21 in these directions is avoided, thereby ensuring stability of the focus carrier 21.
In an embodiment, the first sliding shaft 51 may be tightly matched with the focus carrier 21. The second sliding shaft 52 may be loosely matched with the focus carrier 21. For example, the first sliding slot 211 is set to be in a “V” shape. The second sliding slot 212 is in an “L” shape, a “U” shape, or the like. In this way, the first sliding shaft 51 is wrapped by using the first sliding slot 211 in the “V” shape. It may be understood that, the first sliding shaft 51 is tightly matched with the focus carrier 21, and the second sliding shaft 52 is loosely matched with the focus carrier 21, so that difficulty in assembling the focus carrier 21 and the image stabilization carrier 12 can be reduced.
In another embodiment, the focus carrier 21 may alternatively be connected to the first sliding shaft 51 and the second sliding shaft 52 in another manner. For example, a first via hole and a second via hole are disposed on the focus carrier 21. Then, the first sliding shaft 51 and the second sliding shaft 52 are respectively sleeved on the first via hole and the second via hole.
As shown in
In an embodiment, the inner side of the focus carrier 21 may have a protrusion 213. When the lens 2 is mounted on the focus carrier 21, the protrusion 213 may be disposed opposite to a part of a structure of a lens cone of the lens 2. In this way, an adhesive layer 214 is disposed between the protrusion 213 and the lens cone of the lens 2, so that the lens 2 is stably fastened to the focus carrier 21. In addition, the protrusion 213 and the adhesive layer 214 may alternatively form an interlocking structure, thereby further improving connection stability between the focus carrier 21 and the lens 2.
As shown in
It may be understood that, when the focus coil 221 is energized, the focus coil 221 and the focus magnetic member 222 may generate forces that interact with each other. In this way, when the focus magnetic member 222 is subject to an acting force, the focus carrier 21 may move in the Z-axis direction relative to the image stabilization carrier 12 under the acting force.
It may be understood that a magnetic pole position of the focus magnetic member 222 (that is, the south pole of the focus magnetic member 222 is close to the focus coil 221, or the north pole of the focus magnetic member 222 is close to the focus coil 221) or a direction of a current signal on the focus coil 221 is changed, to change a force-bearing direction of the focus magnetic member 222, and change a movement direction of the focus carrier 21 (for example, move in a positive direction of the Z-axis, or move in a negative direction of the Z-axis).

There is at least one contact position between the focus carrier and the second sliding shaft 52, for example, including a third contact position N1 (a region enclosed by dashed lines in
The focus magnetic conductive member 233 (a region between two dashed lines in
It may be understood that, in some solutions, when the focus magnetic conductive member 233 and the focus magnetic member 222 are disposed on one side of the focus carrier 21, but the focus magnetic conductive member 233 and the focus magnetic member 222 are not disposed on the other side of the focus carrier 21, in a process in which the focus carrier 21 moves in the Z-axis direction, the other side of the focus carrier 21 is prone to overturn with an overturning axis as an axis due to gravity. When the screen 300 (referring to
However, in this embodiment, the focus magnetic conductive member 233 is disposed close to the first sliding shaft 51, so that a central position of a magnetic attraction force generated by the focus magnetic conductive member 233 and the focus magnetic member 222 is disposed close to the first sliding shaft 51. In this way, regardless of whether the focus carrier 21 is overturned by using the first overturning axis (line P1-P2) as an axis or the second overturning axis (line P3-P4) as an axis, a vertical distance (that is, an arm of force of the magnetic attraction force) between a central position of the magnetic attraction force and the overturning axis (line P1-P2 or line P3-P4) becomes longer. In this case, a moment of the magnetic attraction force increases. The moment of the magnetic attraction force is equal to a product of a magnitude of the magnetic attraction force and the arm of force of the magnetic attraction force. Because the moment of the magnetic attraction force is increased, a capability of the focus carrier 21 to resist overturning due to gravity is increased, that is, the focus carrier 21 moves more stably in the Z-axis direction.
In an embodiment, a product of the vertical distance from the central position of the magnetic attraction force generated by the focus magnetic conductive member 233 and the focus magnetic member 222 to the first overturning axis (line P1-P2) and the magnetic attraction force is greater than a gravitational moment of a focus moving component. It may be understood that the focus moving component may be related structures in the Z-axis direction, for example, the focus carrier 21, the focus magnetic member 222, the lens 2, and the variable aperture 3.
In an embodiment, a product of the vertical distance from the central position of the magnetic attraction force generated by the focus magnetic conductive member 233 and the focus magnetic member 222 to the second overturning axis (line P3-P4) and the magnetic attraction force is greater than the gravitational moment of the focus moving component.
In an embodiment, a product of the vertical distance from the central position of the magnetic attraction force generated by the focus magnetic conductive member 233 and the focus magnetic member 222 to the third overturning axis (line P5-P6) and the magnetic attraction force is greater than the gravitational moment of the focus moving component.
In an embodiment, a distance between the center of the focus magnetic conductive member 233 and the first sliding shaft 51 is a; and a distance between the first sliding shaft 51 and the second sliding shaft 52 is b, where a and b meet: ⅕b≤a<½b. In this way, while the capability of the focus carrier 21 to resist overturning due to gravity is increased, the focus carrier 21 can be tightly matched with both the first sliding shaft 51 and the second sliding shaft 52 under the action of the magnetic attraction force generated by the focus magnetic conductive member 233 and the focus magnetic member 222.
As shown in
It may be understood that when the focus carrier 21 moves in the Z-axis direction relative to the image stabilization carrier 12, the focus carrier 21 may drive the focus magnetic member 222 to move in the Z-axis direction relative to the image stabilization carrier 12. The focus sensor 234 may detect magnetic field strength at a position of the focus magnetic member 222. In this way, when detecting the magnetic field strength of the focus magnetic member 222, the focus sensor 234 may determine displacement of the focus carrier 21 by using the magnetic field strength. It may be understood that, the focus sensor 234 cooperates with the focus magnetic member 222, to accurately control displacement of the focus carrier 21 moving in the Z-axis direction relative to the image stabilization carrier 12, thereby implementing a closed-loop design of an assembly of the lens 2.
As shown in
In an embodiment, a cushion pad may be disposed on the limiting bracket 30. When the focus carrier 21 drives the lens 2 to move to a highest position in the positive direction of the Z-axis, the lens 2 may be in contact with the cushion pad. Compared with a solution in which the lens 2 is directly in contact with the limiting bracket 30, the cushion pad in this embodiment can prevent the lens 2 from being damaged or displaced due to direct collision between the lens 2 and the limiting bracket 30.

An entry end 561 of the first wiring terminal 56 may be exposed relative to a top surface of the first corner portion 29a. An exit end 562 of the first wiring terminal 56 may be exposed relative to a bottom surface of the first corner portion 29a.
For example, the second wiring terminal 57 may be embedded in a second corner portion 29b of the base 11.

For example, the plurality of traces 28a are embedded on the image stabilization carrier 12 at an interval. For example, the first trace 281, the second trace 282, the third trace 283, and the fourth trace 284 are all conductive traces. The first trace 281, the second trace 282, the third trace 283, and the fourth trace 284 may all be embedded in the image stabilization carrier 12. In another embodiment, positions of the first trace 281, the second trace 282, the third trace 283, and the fourth trace 284 are not limited.
For example, both an entry end and an exit end of each trace 28a are exposed relative to the image stabilization carrier 12. Exit ends of the plurality of traces 28a are electrically connected to a plurality of ports of the focus drive chip 232 in a one-to-one correspondence through the focus circuit board 231.
For example, both an entry end 281a of the first trace 281 and an exit end 281b of the first trace 281 may be exposed relative to a top surface of the image stabilization carrier 12. The entry end 281a of the first trace 281 may be electrically connected to a serial data (SDA) signal end of the focus drive chip 232 through the focus circuit board 231. It may be understood that, the SDA signal end may be configured to transmit a SDA signal of an inter-integrated circuit (I2C) signal.
For example, an entry end 282a of the second trace 282 may be exposed relative to the top surface of the image stabilization carrier 12. The entry end 282a of the second trace 282 may be electrically connected to a serial clock (SCL) signal end of the focus drive chip 232 through the focus circuit board 231. An exit end 282b of the second trace 282 may be exposed relative to the top surface of the image stabilization carrier 12, and is disposed at an interval from the exit end 281b of the first trace 281. It may be understood that, the SCL signal end may be configured to transmit a SCL signal of an I2C signal.
For example, an entry end 283a of the third trace 283 may be exposed relative to the top surface of the image stabilization carrier 12. The entry end 283a of the third trace 283 may be electrically connected to a positive end of a power supply of the focus drive chip 232 through the focus circuit board 231. An exit end 283b of the third trace 283 may be exposed relative to the top surface of the image stabilization carrier 12, and is disposed at an interval from the exit end 281b of the first trace 281 and the exit end 282b of the second trace 282.
For example, an entry end 284a of the fourth trace 284 may be exposed relative to the top surface of the image stabilization carrier 12. The entry end 284a of the fourth trace 284 may be electrically connected to a negative end of the power supply of the focus drive chip 232 through the focus circuit board 231. An exit end 284b of the fourth trace 284 may be exposed relative to the top surface of the image stabilization carrier 12, and is disposed at an interval from the exit end 281b of the first trace 281, the exit end 282b of the second trace 282, and the exit end 283b of the third trace 283.
In another embodiment, the first trace 281, the second trace 282, the third trace 283, and the fourth trace 284 may alternatively use a flexible circuit board structure respectively. The first trace 281, the second trace 282, the third trace 283, and the fourth trace 284 may alternatively be integrated into one flexible circuit board.

For example, the plurality of conductive spring pieces 28b are fastened on the image stabilization carrier 12 at an interval. For example, the first conductive spring piece 285, the second conductive spring piece 286, the third conductive spring piece 287, and the fourth conductive spring piece 288 may all be disposed on the top surface of the image stabilization carrier 12. It may be understood that the first conductive spring piece 285, the second conductive spring piece 286, the third conductive spring piece 287, and the fourth conductive spring piece 288 may use size space of the X-Y plane of the motor 1. In this way, the first conductive spring piece 285, the second conductive spring piece 286, the third conductive spring piece 287, and the fourth conductive spring piece 288 may be disposed in a relatively large area, thereby implementing a relatively small motion reaction force. It may be understood that, when the image stabilization carrier 12 moves in the X-Y plane relative to the base 11, the first conductive spring piece 285, the second conductive spring piece 286, the third conductive spring piece 287, and the fourth conductive spring piece 288 are deformed, and generate elastic forces. When an elastic force is opposite to a motion direction, the elastic force is a motion reaction force. In this way, areas of the first conductive spring piece 285, the second conductive spring piece 286, the third conductive spring piece 287, and the fourth conductive spring piece 288 are increased, so that lengths of the first conductive spring piece 285, the second conductive spring piece 286, the third conductive spring piece 287, and the fourth conductive spring piece 288 are increased, thereby reducing elastic forces of the first conductive spring piece 285, the second conductive spring piece 286, the third conductive spring piece 287, and the fourth conductive spring piece 288, that is, reducing motion reaction forces. If a motion reaction force of the conductive spring piece 28b appears in the following, refer to explanations of the motion reaction forces of the first conductive spring piece 285, the second conductive spring piece 286, the third conductive spring piece 287, and the fourth conductive spring piece 288.

It may be understood that, in this embodiment, because the image stabilization carrier 12 may move in any direction of the X-Y plane relative to the base 11, a distance between the image stabilization carrier 12 and the base 11 changes in an image stabilization process. Therefore, in this embodiment, the first conductive spring piece 285 with an elastic force is disposed, so that the first wiring terminal 56 of the base 11 is connected to the first trace 281 of the image stabilization carrier 12, so that when the distance between the image stabilization carrier 12 and the base 11 changes, stretching of the first conductive spring piece 285 is used to offset the distance change, to ensure that a circuit is not easily disconnected, that is, improve circuit stability. Similarly, the second conductive spring piece 286, the second conductive spring piece 286, and the fourth conductive spring piece 288 all have a similar function.

It may be understood that an exit end 3612 of the first conductive spring 361 is electrically connected to the first trace 281. For example, a part in the middle of the first trace 281 may be exposed relative to the top surface of the image stabilization carrier 12. The exit end 3612 of the first conductive spring 361 is fastened to a middle part of the first trace 281 through welding, conductive adhesive, or the like. Certainly, in another embodiment, the exit end 3612 of the first conductive spring 361 may alternatively be electrically connected to the first trace 281 in another manner, and a position of an electrical connection is not limited.
It may be understood that, for a connection manner between an exit end 3622 of the second conductive spring 362 and the second trace 282, a connection manner between an exit end 3632 of the third conductive spring 363 and the third trace 283, and a connection manner between an exit end 3642 of the fourth conductive spring 364 and the fourth trace 284, refer to a connection manner between the entry end 3611 of the first conductive spring 361 and the first trace 281. Details are not described herein again.
It may be understood that, the entry end 3611 of the first conductive spring 361 may be electrically connected to the SDA signal end of the drive chip 31 of the variable aperture 3, the exit end 3612 of the first conductive spring 361 is electrically connected to the first trace 281, the entry end 285a of the first conductive spring piece 285 is electrically connected to the exit end 281b of the first trace 281, the exit end 285b of the first conductive spring piece 285 is electrically connected to the entry end 561 of the first wiring terminal 56, and the exit end 562 of the first wiring terminal 56 is electrically connected to the module circuit board 4, so that an external power supply can input a signal into the SDA signal end of the drive chip 31 of the variable aperture 3 through the module circuit board 4, the first wiring terminal 56, the first conductive spring piece 285, the first trace 281, and the first conductive spring 361. Similarly, the external power supply may input a signal into the SCL signal end of the drive chip 31 of the variable aperture 3 through the module circuit board 4, the second wiring terminal 57, the second conductive spring piece 286, the second trace 282, and the second conductive spring 362. In addition, the external power supply may be connected to the positive end of the power supply of the drive chip 31 of the variable aperture 3 through the module circuit board 4, the third wiring terminal 58, the third conductive spring piece 287, the third trace 283, and the third conductive spring 363. The external power supply may be electrically connected to the negative end of the power supply of the drive chip 31 of the variable aperture 3 through the module circuit board 4, the third wiring terminal 58, the third conductive spring piece 287, the third trace 283, and the fourth conductive spring 364.
It may be understood that, a circuit of the SDA signal end of the drive chip 31 of the variable aperture 3, a circuit of the SCL signal end of the drive chip 31 of the variable aperture 3, a circuit of the positive end of the power supply of the drive chip 31 of the variable aperture 3, and a circuit of the negative end of the power supply of the drive chip 31 of the variable aperture 3 reuse a circuit of the SDA signal end of the focus drive chip 232, a circuit of the SCL signal end of the focus drive chip 232, a circuit of the positive end of the power supply of the focus drive chip 232, and a circuit of the negative end of the power supply of the focus drive chip 232. In this way, circuit arrangement of the motor 1 is simpler, and a structure of the motor 1 is simpler.
It may be understood that in this embodiment, because the focus carrier 21 may move in the Z-axis direction relative to the image stabilization carrier 12, a distance between the focus carrier 21 and the image stabilization carrier 12 changes in a focusing process. Therefore, in this embodiment, the first conductive spring 361 with an elastic force is disposed, to connect the variable aperture 3 of the focus carrier 21 to the first trace 281 of the image stabilization carrier 12, so that when the distance between the focus carrier 21 and the image stabilization carrier 12 changes, stretching of the first conductive spring 361 is used to offset the distance change, to ensure that a circuit is not easily disconnected, that is, improve circuit stability. Similarly, the second conductive spring 362, the second conductive spring 362, and the fourth conductive spring 364 all have a similar function. Details are not described herein again.
The foregoing describes, with reference to related accompanying drawings, an embodiment of circuit settings of the focus drive chip 232 and the drive chip 31 of the variable aperture 3. The following describes work of the focus drive chip 232 and the drive chip 31 of the variable aperture 3 with reference to related accompanying drawings.

The foregoing describes, with reference to related accompanying drawings, an embodiment of circuit settings of the focus drive chip 232 and the drive chip 31 of the variable aperture 3. With reference to related accompanying drawings, the following further describes another embodiment of circuit setting of the focus drive chip 232 and the drive chip 31 of the variable aperture 3.
As shown in
It may be understood that, when the camera module 100 needs to enter a focusing state, the controller 8 controls the focus drive chip 232 to be in a working state, and simultaneously controls the drive chip 31 of the variable aperture 3 to be in a non-working state (for example, the drive chip 31 of the variable aperture 3 cannot form a current loop). In this way, an SDA signal may be transmitted to the SDA signal end of the focus drive chip 232 through the module circuit board 4, the first flexible circuit board 24, and the focus circuit board 231. In addition, an SCL signal may be transmitted to the SCL signal end of the focus drive chip 232 through the module circuit board 4, the first flexible circuit board 24, and the focus circuit board 231. In addition, an external power supply may supply power to the focus drive chip 232 through the module circuit board 4, the first flexible circuit board 24, and the focus circuit board 231.
In an embodiment, a part of the first flexible circuit board 24 may alternatively be located between the fourth side portion 124 of the image stabilization carrier 12 and the base 11, that is, the first flexible circuit board 24 is located in magnetic-free space, thereby reducing impact on a magnetic member on the motor 1. In another embodiment, a position of the first flexible circuit board 24 is not limited.
In an embodiment, the first flexible circuit board 24 may alternatively be located in peripheral length space of the image stabilization carrier 12, so that the first flexible circuit board 24 has a relatively long cantilever, thereby implementing a relatively small motion reaction force. It may be understood that, when the image stabilization carrier 12 moves in the X-Y plane relative to the base 11, the first flexible circuit board 24 is bent or deformed, and generates an acting force in an opposite direction, that is, a motion reaction force. In this way, the motion reaction force of the first flexible circuit board 24 is reduced by increasing a length of the first flexible circuit board 24. If the motion reaction force of the first flexible circuit board 24 appears in the following, refer to an explanation of the motion reaction force of the first flexible circuit board 24. Details are not described again.
As shown in
It may be understood that, in this embodiment, the second flexible circuit board 32 and the first flexible circuit board 24 may be of an integrally formed structure. In another embodiment, the second flexible circuit board 32 and the first flexible circuit board 24 may be two independent circuit boards. Then, the two independent circuit boards are electrically connected through an electrical connector.
It may be understood that, when the camera module 100 needs to enter an aperture hole adjustment state, the controller 8 controls the focus drive chip 232 to be in a non-working state (for example, the focus drive chip 232 cannot form a current loop), and simultaneously controls the drive chip 31 of the variable aperture 3 to be in a working state. In this way, an SDA signal may be transmitted to the SDA signal end of the drive chip 31 of the variable aperture 3 through the module circuit board 4, the first flexible circuit board 24, and the second flexible circuit board 32. In addition, an SCL signal may be transmitted to the SCL signal end of the drive chip 31 of the variable aperture 3 through the module circuit board 4, the first flexible circuit board 24, and the second flexible circuit board 32. In addition, an external power supply may supply power to the drive chip 31 of the variable aperture 3 through the module circuit board 4, the first flexible circuit board 24, and the second flexible circuit board 32.
It may be understood that, a circuit of the SDA signal end of the drive chip 31 of the variable aperture 3, a circuit of the SCL signal end of the drive chip 31 of the variable aperture 3, a circuit of the positive end of the power supply of the drive chip 31 of the variable aperture 3, and a circuit of the negative end of the power supply of the drive chip 31 of the variable aperture 3 reuse a circuit of the SDA signal end of the focus drive chip 232, a circuit of the SCL signal end of the focus drive chip 232, a circuit of the positive end of the power supply of the focus drive chip 232, and a circuit of the negative end of the power supply of the focus drive chip 232. In this way, circuit arrangement of the motor 1 is simpler, and a structure of the motor 1 is simpler.
As shown in
It may be understood that, the second flexible circuit board 32 is in a top-down bent and folded state, so that when the distance between the focus carrier 21 and the image stabilization carrier 12 changes, bendable performance of the second flexible circuit board 32 is used to offset the distance change, to ensure that a circuit is not easily disconnected, that is, improve circuit stability. In addition, a very small motion reaction force of the second flexible circuit board 32 may also be implemented.
In an embodiment, the second flexible circuit board 32 is located on the top of the motor 1, and a projection of the second flexible circuit board 32 on the motor 1 is staggered with a focus magnet. In other words, the second flexible circuit board 32 uses magnetic-free space on the top of the motor 1, thereby reducing impact on the focus magnet of the motor 1. In another embodiment, a position of the second flexible circuit board 32 is not limited.
It may be understood that several circuit settings are described in this embodiment. In another embodiment, circuit settings of the focus drive chip 232 and the drive chip 31 of the variable aperture 3 are not limited.
