Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to the technical field of photographing apparatuses, and in particular to a photographing apparatus and an electronic device.

BACKGROUND

Photographing apparatuses are widely used in cameras, mobile phones, tablets, laptops, and other portable electronic devices. Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) apparatuses aim to compensate for camera shake, that is, the vibration of a camera device usually caused by the movement of hands of a user. The vibration degrades the quality of images captured by image sensors. However, the conventional image stabilization apparatuses have a relatively large thickness, and will increase the overall size of the photographing apparatus after being combined with the photographing apparatus, which is not conducive to the lightweight design of the electronic device.

Therefore, there is a need to design a novel photographing apparatus to change the status quo.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The technical schemes in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described in the following with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. It is obvious that the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present invention and are not all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort shall fall within the scope of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, an embodiment of the present invention provides an electronic device 1, including a photographing apparatus 10 and a housing 20. The housing 20 serves as a mounting carrier for having the photographing apparatus 10 fixedly mounted. Specifically, the electronic device 1 includes, but is not limited to, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a television, a gaming console, etc., which can be provided with the photographing apparatus 10, and is not uniquely limited here.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 2-5, the photographing apparatus 10 includes a frame assembly 100, a first movement assembly 200, first support members 300, a second movement assembly 400, second support members 500, and a lens module 700. The frame assembly 100 serves as a bearing base and is provided with a receiving cavity 111, and an inner wall of the receiving cavity 111 is provided with first movement grooves 112 communicating with the receiving cavity 111. The first movement assembly 200 is suspended in the receiving cavity 111 and is at least partially received in the first movement grooves 112. The first movement assembly 200 is internally provided with a movement cavity 2111, and an inner wall of the movement cavity 2111 is provided with second movement grooves 2112 communicating with the movement cavity 2111. The first support members 300 are each arranged at least partially in a respective first movement groove 112 and each abut against the first movement assembly 200 and the frame assembly 100, such that the first movement assembly 200 can rotate about a first axis of rotation relative to the frame assembly 100. The second movement assembly 400 is suspended in the movement cavity 2111 and is at least partially received in the second movement grooves 2112. The second support members 500 are each arranged at least partially in a respective second movement groove 2112 and abut against the first movement assembly 200 and the second movement assembly 400, such that the second movement assembly 400 can rotate about a second axis of rotation relative to the first movement assembly 200. An included angle is formed between the first axis of rotation and the second axis of rotation. The lens module 700 is fixed to the second movement assembly 400.

In the photographing apparatus 10 of this embodiment, the first movement assembly 200 is suspended in the receiving cavity 111 of the frame assembly 100, and a movement cavity 2111 for receiving the second movement assembly 400 is provided in the first movement assembly 200. The first movement assembly 200 and the frame assembly 100 can rotate about the first axis of rotation relative to the frame assembly 100 under the action of the first support members 300, and the second movement assembly 400 and the first movement assembly 200 can rotate about the second axis of rotation relative to the first movement assembly 200 under the action of the second support members 500. In the photographing apparatus 10 of this embodiment, the first movement assembly 200 cooperates with the second movement assembly 400 and the frame assembly 100 by means of the second support members 500 and the first support members 300, so as to form a floating-type double-layer nested structure. The photographing apparatus 10 can have a compact structure on condition that the lens module 700 is rotatable about the first axis of rotation and/or the second axis of rotation, so that the overall size of the photographing apparatus 10 is reduced. It should be noted that referring to FIG. 1, L is defined as the optical axis of the lens module 700, and referring to FIGS. 6 and 7, R1 is defined as the first axis of rotation and R2 is defined as the second axis of rotation.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, the first movement assembly 200 includes a first movement holder 210 and first flexible connection members 220. The first movement holder 210 is suspended in the receiving cavity 111 and is at least partially received in the first movement grooves 112. Each of the first flexible connection members 220 is connected to the first movement holder 210 and the frame assembly 100 separately.

With this arrangement, when the first movement assembly 200 rotates about the first axis of rotation under the action of an external force, the first flexible connection members 220 are deformed and store elastic potential energy, and when the external force is removed, the first flexible connection members 220 release the elastic potential energy and drive the first movement assembly 200 to reset.

Referring to FIG. 4, in an embodiment, each of the first flexible connection members 220 has a first fixing portion 2201, first flexible portions 2202 and first connection portions 2203. The first fixing portion 2201 is fixed to the first movement holder 210, the first connection portions 2203 are fixed to the frame assembly 100, and the first flexible portions 2202 are each connected to both the first fixing portion 2201 and the first connection portion 2203. The number of first flexible portions 2202 and the number of first connection portions 2203 are both two, and they are both symmetrically arranged on two opposite sides of the first fixing portion 2201.

Specifically, in this embodiment, each of the first flexible portions 2202 is bent back at least twice in a direction from the first fixing portion 2201 to the respective first connection portion 2203, so that the first flexible connection member 220 has a larger deformation space. The arrangement of two sets of first flexible portions 2202 and first connection portions 2203 on the two sides of the first fixing portion 2201 can provide stable elastic support and reset for the first movement holder 210. Optionally, the projections of the two sets of first flexible portions 2202 and first connection portions 2203 on the first fixing portion 2201 along the optical axis of the lens module 700 is symmetrical about the first axis of rotation, so that the first flexible connection members 220 can provide uniform restoring force during the reverse or forward rotation of the first movement assembly 200 about the first axis of rotation.

Specifically, the projection of the first support member 300 on the respective first fixing portion 2201 along the optical axis of the lens module 700 at least partially overlaps with the first fixing portion 2201.

With this arrangement, after the photographing apparatus 10 is assembled, the first fixing portion 2201 of each of the first flexible connection members 220 can exert an elastic action force on the respective first support member 300 in the extending direction of the optical axis, such that the first movement holder 210 is closely attached to the first support member 300, thereby preventing the first movement holder 210 from jumping in the extending direction of the optical axis, and improving the running stability of the photographing apparatus 10.

Specifically, in an embodiment, the first movement holder 210 is provided with a first movement holder body 211 and two first extension portions 212 connected to the first movement holder body. The two first extension portions 212 are located on two opposite sides of the first movement holder body 211, and the two first extension portions 212 both extend in a direction parallel to the first axis of rotation. The first movement shelf body 211 is suspended in the receiving cavity 111, and each of the first extension portions 212 is received in the respective first movement groove 112 and is arranged spaced apart from an inner wall of the first movement groove 112. Referring to FIG. 5, in the extending direction of the optical axis of the lens module 700, each of the first support members 300 abuts against a respective first extension portion 212 and the frame assembly 100.

It can be understood that, in this embodiment, since the two first extension portions 212 both extend along the direction of the first axis of rotation, a connecting line between the two first extension portions 212 is parallel to the first axis of rotation. Since the first support members 300 each abut against the frame assembly 100 and the respective first extension portion 212, the first movement holder 210 can be completely separated from the frame assembly 100 after assembly and is suspended in the receiving cavity 111. The first movement assembly 200 and the frame assembly 100 are only supported by the first support members 300, which enables the first movement holder 210 to rotate about the first axis of rotation in the frame assembly 100, and also enables the photographing apparatus 10 to have a more compact structure.

Referring to FIG. 5, in an embodiment, the inner wall of each of the first movement grooves 112 is provided with a first positioning groove 113, and an inner wall of the first positioning groove 113 abuts against the respective first support member 300. Each of the first extension portions 212 is provided with a second positioning groove 2121, and an inner wall of the second positioning groove 2121 abuts against the side of the respective first support member 300 away from the respective first positioning groove 113.

The first positioning groove 113 and the second positioning groove 2121 are arranged to cooperate with the respective first support member 300, so that the movement of the first support member 300 can be limited on the premise of realizing the rotation function of the first movement assembly 200. Specifically, in this embodiment, there are two sets of first positioning grooves 113, second positioning grooves 2121 and first support members 300, which are arranged on two opposite sides of the first movement holder body 211 in the extending direction of the first axis of rotation. With this arrangement, the connecting line between the two first support members 300 is the first axis of rotation.

Specifically, in this embodiment, in the extending direction of the optical axis, the upper side of each of the first movement grooves 112 is provided with an opening, that is to say, in the process of assembling the first movement assembly 200, the respective first extension portion 212 can be mounted into the first movement groove 112 through the upper side opening of the first movement groove 112. In other embodiments, the upper side of the first movement groove 112 may alternatively be closed. With this arrangement, the first extension portion 212 is inserted into the first movement groove 112 after the photographing apparatus 10 is assembled.

Referring to FIG. 5, specifically, in an embodiment, the first positioning grooves 113 and/or the second positioning grooves 2121 have a V-shaped cross-section in a direction perpendicular to the first axis of rotation. By setting the positioning grooves to be V-shaped, after the photographing apparatus 10 is assembled, an outer wall of each of the first support members 300 abuts against two side walls of the respective V-shaped groove, thereby limiting the degrees of freedom of the first movement holder 210 except the degree of freedom of rotation about the first axis of rotation.

Referring to FIG. 4, in an embodiment, each of the first flexible connection members 220 has a first fixing portion 2201, first flexible portions 2202 and first connection portions 2203. The first fixing portion 2201 is fixed to a respective first extension portion 212, the first connection portions 2203 are fixed to the frame assembly 100, and the first flexible portions 2202 are each connected to both the first fixing portion 2201 and the first connection portion 2203.

With this arrangement, when the first flexible connection member 220 exerts an elastic force on the first movement holder 210, the first fixing portion 2201 can directly act on the first extension portion 212, so that the first movement assembly 200 has a more compact structure on the premise that the first movement holder 210 can rotate.

Referring to FIG. 5, the first flexible connection members 220 are fixed to the side of the first movement holder 210 away from the first support members 300. With this arrangement, after the first flexible connection members 220 are connected and fixed to the first movement holder 210 and the frame assembly 100, the first flexible connection members 220 can exert elastic forces toward the first movement holder 210 to limit the first support members 300 between the first movement holder 210 and the frame assembly 100.

In this embodiment, there are two first flexible connection members 220, and the two first flexible connection members 220 are symmetrically arranged on two opposite sides of the first movement holder 210, and the connecting line between the two first flexible connection members 220 is parallel to the first axis of rotation.

Specifically, referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, the second movement assembly 400 includes a second movement holder 410 and second flexible connection members 420. The second movement holder 410 is suspended in the movement cavity 2111 and is at least partially received in the second movement grooves 2112. The second flexible connection members 420 are each connected to both the second movement holder 410 and the first movement assembly 200.

With this arrangement, when the second movement assembly 400 rotates about the second axis of rotation under the action of an external force, the second flexible connection members 420 are deformed and store elastic potential energy, and when the external force is removed, the second flexible connection members 420 release the elastic potential energy and drive the second movement assembly 400 to reset.

Referring to FIG. 4, in an embodiment, each of the second flexible connection members 420 has a second fixing portion 4201, second flexible portions 4202 and second connection portions 4203. The second fixing portion 4201 is fixed to the second movement holder 410, the second connection portions 4203 are fixed to the first movement assembly 200, and the second flexible portions 4202 are each connected to both the second fixing portion 4201 and the second connection portion 4203. The number of second flexible portions 4202 and the number of second connection portions 4203 are both two, and they are symmetrically arranged on two opposite sides of the second fixing portion 4201.

Specifically, in this embodiment, each of the second flexible portions 4202 is bent back at least twice in a direction from the second fixing portion 4201 to the respective second connection portion 4203, so that the second flexible connection member 420 has a larger deformation space. The arrangement of two sets of second flexible portions 4202 and second connection portions 4203 on the two sides of the second fixing portion 4201 can provide stable elastic support and reset for the second movement holder 410. Optionally, the projections of the two sets of second flexible portions 4202 and second connection portions 4203 on the second fixing portion 4201 along the optical axis of the lens module 700 is symmetrical about the second axis of rotation, so that the second flexible connection members 420 can provide uniform restoring force during the reverse or forward rotation of the second movement assembly 400 about the second axis of rotation.

Specifically, in an embodiment, the second movement holder 410 has a second movement holder body 411 and two second extension portions 412 connected to the second movement holder body. The two second extension portions 412 are located on two opposite sides of the second movement holder body 411, and the two second extension portions 412 both extend in a direction parallel to the second axis of rotation. The second movement holder body 411 is suspended in the movement cavity 2111, and each of the second extension portions 412 is received in the respective second movement groove 2112 and is arranged spaced apart from an inner wall of the second movement groove 2112. Referring to FIG. 5, in the extending direction of the optical axis of the lens module 700, each of the second support members 500 abuts against a respective second extension portion 412 and the first movement assembly 200.

It can be understood that, in this embodiment, since the two second extension portions 412 both extend along the direction of the second axis of rotation, a connecting line between the two second extension portions 412 is parallel to the second axis of rotation. Since the second support members 500 each abut against the first movement assembly 200 and the respective second extension portion 412, the second movement holder 410 can be completely separated from the first movement assembly 200 after assembly and is suspended in the movement cavity 2111. The second movement assembly 400 and the first movement assembly 200 are only supported by the second support members 500, which enables the second movement holder 410 to rotate about the second axis of rotation in the first movement assembly 200, and also enables the photographing apparatus 10 to have a more compact structure. Referring to FIG. 10, a mounting cavity 4111 is provided in the second movement holder body 411, and the lens module 700 is received in the mounting cavity 4111 and is fixed to the second movement holder 410.

Referring to FIG. 5, in an embodiment, the inner wall of each of the second movement grooves 2112 is provided with a third positioning groove 2113, and an inner wall of the third positioning groove 2113 abuts against the respective second support member 500. Each of the second extension portions 412 is provided with a fourth positioning groove 4121, and an inner wall of the fourth positioning groove 4121 abuts against the side of the respective second support member 500 away from the respective third positioning groove 2113.

The third positioning groove 2113 and the fourth positioning groove 4121 are arranged to cooperate with the respective second support member 500, so that the movement of the second support member 500 can be limited on the premise of realizing the rotation function of the second movement assembly 400. Specifically, in this embodiment, there are two sets of third positioning grooves 2113, fourth positioning grooves 4121 and second support members 500, which are arranged on two opposite sides of the second movement holder body 411 in the extending direction of the second axis of rotation. With this arrangement, the connecting line between the two second support members 500 is the second axis of rotation.

Specifically, in this embodiment, in the extending direction of the optical axis, the upper side of each of the second movement grooves 2112 is provided with an opening, that is to say, in the process of assembling the second movement assembly 400, the respective second extension portion 412 can be mounted into the second movement groove 2112 through the upper side opening of the second movement groove 2112. In other embodiments, the upper side of the second movement groove 2112 may alternatively be closed. With this arrangement, the second extension portion 412 is inserted into the second movement groove 2112 after the photographing apparatus 10 is assembled.

Referring to FIG. 5, specifically, in an embodiment, the third positioning grooves 2113 and/or the fourth positioning grooves 4121 have a V-shaped cross-section in a direction perpendicular to the second axis of rotation. By setting the positioning grooves to be V-shaped, after the photographing apparatus 10 is assembled, an outer wall of each of the second support members 500 abuts against two side walls of the respective V-shaped groove, thereby limiting the degrees of freedom of the second movement holder 410 except the degree of freedom of rotation about the second axis of rotation.

Referring to FIGS. 5 and 6, the second flexible connection members 420 are fixed to the side of the second movement holder 410 away from the second support members 500.

With this arrangement, after the second flexible connection members 420 are connected and fixed to the second movement holder 410 and the first movement assembly 200, the second flexible connection members 420 can exert elastic forces toward the second movement holder 410 to limit the second support members 500 between the second movement holder 410 and the first movement assembly 200.

In this embodiment, there are two second flexible connection members 420, and the two second flexible connection members 420 are symmetrically arranged on two opposite sides of the second movement holder 410, and the connecting line between the two second flexible connection members 420 is parallel to the second axis of rotation.

Referring to FIGS. 4, 5 and 10, in an embodiment, the frame assembly 100 is provided with first positioning protrusions 114, and the first movement assembly 200 is provided with second positioning protrusions 2122. The first positioning protrusions 114 are arranged in the first connection portions 2203 in a penetrating manner and are used for positioning the first connection portions 2203, and the second positioning protrusions 2122 are arranged in the first fixing portions 2201 in a penetrating manner and are used for positioning the first fixing portions 2201.
