In the present invention, the flexible substrate used in the present invention is made of flexible material such as silicone, rubber, organic resin, etc., and has a thickness of about 2 mm. The imaging assembly 30 is a miniature camera module having dimensions of about 6 x 4 mm. It is understood that other materials and thicknesses of the flexible substrate 10 may be used, and the imaging assembly 30 is not limited to a miniature camera module, as long as it can be fixed on the flexible substrate 10 and has an imaging function.
Preferably, the bottom of the housing 40 is provided with a circular fixing flange 41 for mounting and fixing the image forming apparatus 100. Of course, the housing 40 may be fixed by other structures, and is not limited herein.
As shown in fig. 3 to 5, the flexible substrate 10 has elasticity and can be deformed by the driving mechanism 20. It is understood that the flexible substrate 10 may be deformed locally or entirely.
The driving mechanism 20 is used to drive the flexible substrate 10, and it is understood that the driving mechanism 20 may be used to drive the flexible substrate 10 mechanically, or may be used to control the deformation of the flexible substrate 10 by other methods, such as inflation or deflation.
As shown in fig. 6 and 7, the imaging assemblies 30 are mounted on the flexible substrate 10, each imaging assembly 30 has its own imaging field 31, the imaging fields 31 of the plurality of imaging assemblies 30 together form a combined imaging field 31, and when the flexible substrate 10 is changed in posture, the imaging field 31 of at least one imaging assembly 30 is changed, so that the combined imaging field 31 is changed.
Preferably, the imaging assembly 30 is protruded from the flexible substrate 10, and when the flexible substrate 10 is deformed, the lens of the imaging assembly 30 is not easily blocked by the flexible substrate 10.
Specifically, the flexible substrate 10 is provided with a plurality of bosses, and each imaging assembly 30 is mounted on one of the bosses such that the imaging assembly 30 is protrudingly provided on the flexible substrate 10. So set up, on the one hand can improve imaging assembly 30's installation effectiveness, and on the other hand flexible substrate 10 is in the gesture change in-process, and the convex structure can reduce flexible substrate 10's deformation transmission to guarantee that imaging assembly 30 bottom assembly contact surface's plane degree is higher. It can be understood that the number of the imaging assemblies 30 can be selected by the user according to different use requirements, and therefore, the number of the bosses may be the same as or different from the number of the imaging assemblies 30, which is not limited herein.

Preferably, the boss height is about 1 mm.
Referring to fig. 3 to 7, in the present embodiment, the flexible substrate 10 has a planar configuration, an intermediate configuration and a spherical configuration, and the driving mechanism 20 is used for driving the flexible substrate 10 to switch between the planar configuration, the intermediate configuration and the spherical configuration. The flexible substrate 10, when in a planar configuration, facilitates the mounting of the imaging assembly 30 and also facilitates the storage and transport of the imaging device 100; when the flexible substrate 10 is in the intermediate form and the spherical form, the plurality of imaging assemblies 30 form an arc-shaped layout, so that the simulation effect is better, large-field imaging can be realized, and the imaging effect is more three-dimensional. It is understood that in the present embodiment, when the flexible substrate 10 changes in posture, the imaging fields of view 31 of all the imaging assemblies 30 change. However, in other embodiments, the imaging field of view 31 of all of the imaging assemblies 30 may not necessarily change, as long as the combined imaging field of view 31 changes, due to the different ways in which the flexible substrate 10 may be oriented. In the present invention, the intermediate form is not particularly limited to any one state of the flexible substrate 10, and a form between the planar form and the spherical form may be referred to as an intermediate form.
When the flexible substrate 10 is in a planar configuration, a plurality of imaging assemblies 30 are arrayed on the flexible substrate 10 when the flexible substrate 10 is in a planar configuration, facilitating the mounting and positioning of the imaging assemblies 30. Preferably, the imaging assemblies 30 are arranged on the flexible substrate 10 in a polygonal array (e.g., a square array, a rectangular array, a hexagonal array, etc.) or in a concentric annular array.
The driving mechanism 20 includes a driving member 21 and an arc-shaped pushing block 25, the driving member 21 is used for driving the arc-shaped pushing block 25 to move along a preset track, and the arc-shaped pushing block 25 can contact and push one side of the flexible substrate 10 facing away from the imaging assembly 30, so that the posture of the flexible substrate 10 changes. With the arrangement, the arrangement of the arc-shaped push block 25 can ensure that the flexible substrate 10 changes according to a preset posture, so that the distribution positions of the plurality of imaging assemblies 30 are controllable when the posture of the flexible substrate 10 changes, and the subsequent image processing is facilitated.
Preferably, the curved surface of the top of the arc-shaped push block 25 is a spherical arc surface, the diameter of the spherical arc surface is designed to be about 60mm, and the arc-shaped push block 25 is made of metal. It is understood that in other embodiments, the top curved surface of the arc-shaped push block 25 may also be an ellipsoidal curved surface, the size of which can be set according to requirements, and the arc-shaped push block 25 is not limited to be made of metal.
In the present embodiment, the driver 21 is a motor, preferably a servo motor or a stepper motor. It is understood that in other embodiments, the flexible substrate 10 may be changed in posture in other manners, for example, by changing the air pressure, and changing the posture of the flexible substrate 10 by inflating and deflating, in which case, the driving member 21 may be selected from other driving devices and the arc-shaped pushing block 25 is not provided, which is not limited herein.
Further, the arc-shaped pushing block 25 is provided with at least one through hole 251, the through hole 251 is located in the middle or at the edge of the arc-shaped pushing block 25, and the through hole 251 is used for balancing air pressure at two sides of the arc-shaped pushing block 25. So set up, when the distance between arc ejector pad 25 and the flexible substrate 10 is more and more near, can not cause the atmospheric pressure increase between arc ejector pad 25 and the flexible substrate 10 to avoid because the flexible substrate 10 that atmospheric pressure arouses warp, imaging assembly 30's formation of image effect is more controllable, and the treatment effect is better when carrying out follow-up image processing.
In this embodiment, the number of the through holes 251 is plural, and the middle part and the edge of the arc-shaped pushing block 25 are both provided with a plurality of through holes 251, and the plurality of through holes 251 are centrosymmetric on the arc-shaped pushing block 25, so as to ensure that air between the arc-shaped pushing block 25 and the flexible substrate 10 can rapidly circulate through the through holes 251.
Preferably, in this embodiment, the size of the through hole 251 is not larger than the size of the boss, or the through hole 251 can avoid the arrangement position of the boss, so that the boss and the imaging assembly 30 can be prevented from being clamped into the through hole 251.
In this embodiment, the driving mechanism 20 further includes a screw rail moving assembly (not numbered), the screw rail moving assembly includes a screw 22, a slider 23 and a rail 24, the screw 22 is connected to the driving member 21, the slider 23 is sleeved on the screw 22 and is in threaded connection with the screw 22, the slider 23 can slide along the rail 24, and the slider 23 is used for driving the arc-shaped pushing block 25 to move.
Specifically, the screw 22 is connected to an output shaft of the motor, an external thread is provided on the screw 22, an internal thread is provided in the slider 23, the slider 23 is sleeved on the screw 22 and is in threaded connection with the screw 22, the slider 23 is further connected to the slide rail 24, when the motor is turned on, the screw 22 rotates along with the output shaft of the motor, and since the slider 23 is limited by the slide rail 24, that is, the slide rail 24 also has an effect of preventing the slider 23 from rotating, the slider 23 does not rotate along with the screw 22, but slides along the slide rail 24 (slides up and down in the direction shown in fig. 2), so that the rotational motion of the screw 22 can be converted into the linear motion of the slider 23. Because the sliding block 23 moves linearly, the sliding block 23 is connected with the arc-shaped push block 25, and then the linear movement of the arc-shaped push block 25 can be realized.
In this embodiment, the slide rail 24 is fixed on the housing 40, the slide rail 24 is parallel to the screw 22, two protruding blocks 231 are convexly disposed on one side of the slider 23 relatively close to the slide rail 24, a groove (not labeled) is disposed between the two protruding blocks 231, and the slide rail 24 and the slider 23 are mutually matched to achieve the rotation stopping function and the guiding function. It is understood that in other embodiments, the slide rail 24 may be fixed at other positions than the housing 40, or may be provided in other forms, for example, the slide rail 24 may be a guide rod (not shown) parallel to the screw 22, the slider 23 is sleeved on both the screw 22 and the guide rod, and the slider 23 can achieve the rotation stopping function and the guiding function through the guide rod.
Preferably, the driving mechanism 20 further comprises a connecting rod 28, and the connecting rod 28 is used for connecting the sliding block 23 and the arc-shaped pushing block 25, so that the arc-shaped pushing block 25 and the sliding block 23 move synchronously.
In this embodiment, the sliding block 23, the arc-shaped pushing block 25 and the connecting rod 28 are an integral structure, and may be formed by integral molding or separate molding and then fixed connection.
In this embodiment, the connecting rod 28 is a linear rod, and the connecting rod 28 is fixedly disposed at the center of the arc-shaped pushing block 25, so that the structure is simple and compact, and the processing and forming are easy. It is understood that in other embodiments, the connecting rod 28 may be provided in a plurality to uniformly support the arc-shaped pushing block 25, which is not limited herein, as long as the arrangement of other structures in the driving mechanism 20 is not affected.
Preferably, the driving mechanism 20 further includes an elastic member 27, and one end of the elastic member 27 abuts against the slider 23 to apply an elastic force to the slider 23. So set up, elastic component 27 can play the effect of shock attenuation and buffering for arc ejector pad 25's elevating movement is more steady reliable.
Specifically, the slide block 23 and the screw rod 22 are in threaded connection, and the fit clearance of the threaded connection is large, so that the movement precision of the slide block 23 is low, and the movement precision of the arc-shaped push block 25 is also low. The lower precision of the movement of the arc-shaped push block 25 results in the poor controllability of the flexible substrate 10 when the posture changes, and the poor precision of the combined imaging field of view 31 of the plurality of imaging assemblies 30 when the posture changes. The elastic member 27 enables the slider 23 to continuously receive a downward external force, so that the movement precision of the slider 23 along the slide rail 24 is improved, the movement precision of the arc-shaped push block 25 and the controllability of the flexible substrate 10 during posture change are both improved, the precision of the combined imaging view field 31 of the plurality of imaging assemblies 30 is also greatly improved during posture change, and a good foundation is laid for image processing of the subsequent combined imaging view field 31.
Further, the elastic element 27 is a linear expansion spring, in this embodiment, the elastic element 27 is sleeved on the connecting rod 28, and in other embodiments, the elastic element 27 may be positioned in other manners, for example, an accommodating groove is formed on the slider 23, and one end of the elastic element 27 is accommodated in the accommodating groove.
Furthermore, the lead screw slide rail motion assembly further comprises a stop block 26, the stop block 26 is disposed at one end of the connection rod 28 relatively close to the flexible substrate 10, one end of the elastic member 27 abuts against the sliding block 23, and the other end abuts against the stop block 26. The stopper 26 is provided at an end of the connection bar 28 relatively close to the flexible substrate 10, which can increase the length of the elastic member 27 and the moving stroke of the slider 23.
In this embodiment, the two stop blocks 26 are fixedly disposed on the slide rail 24, and the two stop blocks 26 are respectively disposed on two sides of the connecting rod 28, so as to facilitate uniform stress on the elastic member 27, and facilitate production, processing and subsequent installation.

Furthermore, in order to facilitate the installation of the elastic member 27, the arc-shaped push block 25 or the slider 23 should be detachably connected to the connecting rod 28, for example, by means of a snap connection, or by means of a screw, a threaded connection, or the like.
Preferably, the imaging device 100 further includes a position sensor 50, the position sensor 50 is fixedly disposed on the housing 40, and the position sensor 50 is used for detecting the position of the slider 23 or the position of the arc-shaped push block 25.

By providing the control component, the control accuracy of the imaging device 100 can be improved, so as to improve the imaging accuracy of the imaging device 100.
Further, the control component is further connected to the position sensor 50, a signal detected by the position sensor 50 can be sent to the control component, and the control component can receive the signal sent by the position sensor 50 and control the opening, closing and operation modes of the driving mechanism 20 according to the signal received by the position sensor 50.
