Specific embodiment

Example embodiments are described in detail here, and the example is illustrated in the accompanying drawings.Following description is related to When attached drawing, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings indicate the same or similar elements.Following exemplary embodiment Described in embodiment do not represent all implementations consistent with this disclosure.On the contrary, they be only with it is such as appended The example of the consistent device and method of some aspects be described in detail in claims, the disclosure.

It is only to be not intended to be limiting the disclosure merely for for the purpose of describing particular embodiments in the term that the disclosure uses. The "an" of the singular used in disclosure and the accompanying claims book, " described " and "the" are also intended to including majority Form, unless the context clearly indicates other meaning.It is also understood that term "and/or" used herein refers to and wraps It may be combined containing one or more associated any or all of project listed.

It will be appreciated that though various information, but this may be described using term first, second, third, etc. in the disclosure A little information should not necessarily be limited by these terms.These terms are only used to for same type of information being distinguished from each other out.For example, not departing from In the case where disclosure range, the first information can also be referred to as the second information, and similarly, the second information can also be referred to as One information.Depending on context, word as used in this " if " can be construed to " ... when " or " when ... When " or " in response to determination ".

It is basis that Fig. 1, which is a kind of a kind of status diagram of camera module shown according to an exemplary embodiment, Fig. 2, A kind of another status diagram of camera module shown in one exemplary embodiment.As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2, the camera mould Group 100 may include camera lens 1, sensor devices 2 and the first driving mechanism 3.Wherein, camera lens 1 and sensor devices 2 can be along cameras The thickness direction of mould group 100 is set gradually in (i.e. direction shown in arrow A in Fig. 1, Fig. 2), subsequent to obtain outside by camera lens 1 Light, and be further imaged by sensor devices 2 and other mould groups, obtain image information.Further, in the related art, In order to improve the performance of taking pictures of the configured camera of terminal, it will usually using larger-size camera chip or other sensings Device device increases so as to cause the size of entire camera, and thickness increases, so that camera protruded terminal shell, or In order to avoid prominent to which terminal is done thickness.Obviously, either which kind of design means, all run counter to the aesthetic of user.

So can use existing space length between camera lens 1 and sensor devices 2 in the technical solution of the disclosure, It solves the above problems.Specifically, the camera module 100 provided in the disclosure can also include the first driving mechanism 3, this One driving mechanism 3 can be matched with camera lens 1, to drive camera lens 1 to be moved, adjust the phase between camera lens 1 and sensor devices 2 To positional relationship.For example, when camera module 100 switches to and takes pictures state camera lens can be driven by the first driving mechanism 3 1 through-thickness A is adjusted far from sensor devices 2 to state shown in FIG. 1, to increase the back focal length of camera module 1, with into Row is taken pictures；When camera module 100 switch to it is non-take pictures state when, can by the first driving mechanism 3 drive camera lens 1 along close The direction of sensor devices 2 is moved, and is adjusted to state shown in Fig. 2, is compressed the corresponding space of back focal length in camera module 1, Camera lens 1 is stored, the thickness of camera module 100 is reduced.

In the present embodiment, when camera module be in it is non-take pictures state when, interval between sensor devices 2 and camera lens 1 Distance is greater than zero and is less than preset interval distance.Also that is, it is as shown in Figure 2, the spacing distance between sensor devices 1 and camera lens 1 H1 >=0, and less than one preset interval distance, with while compressing 100 thickness of camera module, avoid sensor devices 2 with Friction between camera lens 1 causes to damage, and is conducive to protect camera module 100.Wherein, the preset interval distance can be 2mm, 3mm, 5mm or 10mm etc., the disclosure is limited not to this.

In above-mentioned each embodiment, the first driving mechanism 3 may include motor and transmission mechanism, the transmission mechanism one end Cooperated with motor cooperation, the other end and camera lens 1, to drive camera lens 1 to carry out translational motion.For example, the transmission mechanism May include one or more of lead screw assembly and gear set, realizing flat to camera lens 1 from converting the rotary motion of motor The purpose of shifting movement.

In above-mentioned each embodiment, as shown in figure 3, the camera module 100 can also include the second driving mechanism 4, Second driving mechanism 4 is attached with camera lens 1, and is carried out in the first driving mechanism 3 driving camera lens 1 along direction shown in arrow A When mobile, which can be moved along direction shown in arrow A simultaneously, and be moved to suitable position in camera lens 1 It sets, when user executes focus operation to camera module 100, starts the second driving mechanism 4, by the second driving mechanism 4 to camera lens 1 The distance between sensor devices 2 are finely adjusted, and realize focusing.Wherein, the first driving mechanism 3 and the second driving mechanism 4 can be with Respectively include motor, for the first driving mechanism 3, can by lead screw or it is gear-driven in a manner of will itself output rotation Movement is changed into the translational motion for camera lens.
