技术领域technical field
本发明涉及光学技术领域,具体地说,本发明涉及摄像模组及其组装方法。The present invention relates to the field of optical technology, and in particular, the present invention relates to a camera module and an assembling method thereof.
背景技术Background technique
随着消费者对于手机拍照需求的增加,手机摄像头(即摄像模组)的功能越来越丰富,人像拍摄、远距拍摄、光学变焦、光学防抖等功能都集成在了体积有限的摄像头中,而其中自动对焦、光学防抖、光学变焦等功能往往都需要依靠光学致动器来实现。With the increasing demand of consumers for mobile phone photography, the functions of mobile phone cameras (ie camera modules) are becoming more and more abundant, and functions such as portrait shooting, telephoto shooting, optical zoom, and optical image stabilization are integrated into the limited-volume camera. , and autofocus, optical image stabilization, optical zoom and other functions often need to rely on optical actuators to achieve.
光学致动器也可以称为马达。当前手机、平板电脑等轻薄移动电子终端设备中,通常采用各类马达进行对焦驱动和防抖驱动。不论是对焦驱动还是防抖驱动,每个驱动模块往往需要在预先设定的移动方向上来移动镜头模块(例如光学镜头)。具体地,马达可以包括一壳体和一载体,载体与壳体之间可活动连接。其中光学镜头可以安装于所述载体,在驱动模块(例如线圈磁铁组合)的作用下,携带光学镜头的载体可以在预设的自由度上相对于壳体移动,从而实现对焦、防抖或光学变焦等功能。现有技术中,载体与镜头之间通常的固定方式是采用螺纹加点胶的固定方式,或者是只采用点胶的方式固定。当载体与镜头之间采用胶水粘接时,在胶水从柔性的未干状态变成韧性的、硬的固体状态的过程中,其内聚强度性质会发生大幅度的变化(其幅度约几千N/cm2),导致出现较为明显的胶水内应力。一方面,在胶水固化的过程中,胶水会收缩,胶水的收缩量与镜筒粘接部位的收缩量不同,因此胶水的收缩会对镜头产生一拉力,使镜头内部产生一定的应力,使得位于镜头内部的镜片的面型变形或者位置偏移,从而影响到潜望式模组的成像品质。另一方面,在潜望式摄像模组组装过程的胶水固化工艺往往需要对该模组进行烘烤和冷却,在烘烤和冷却过程中,由于镜头的镜筒与胶水之间的热膨胀系数不匹配(即二者热膨胀系数不 同),镜头的镜筒与胶水之间会产生不同的收缩量,从而使镜头内部产生一定的应力,该应力对镜头中的镜片面型造成影响,使潜望式模组的成像品质下降。Optical actuators can also be referred to as motors. In the current thin and light mobile electronic terminal devices such as mobile phones and tablet computers, various types of motors are usually used for focus driving and anti-shake driving. Regardless of whether it is a focus drive or an anti-shake drive, each drive module often needs to move the lens module (eg, an optical lens) in a preset moving direction. Specifically, the motor may include a housing and a carrier, and the carrier and the housing are movably connected. The optical lens can be mounted on the carrier, and under the action of a driving module (such as a coil-magnet combination), the carrier carrying the optical lens can move relative to the housing in a preset degree of freedom, so as to achieve focusing, anti-shake or optical zoom, etc. In the prior art, the usual fixing method between the carrier and the lens is the fixing method of screw thread and glue dispensing, or only the glue dispensing method. When glue is used between the carrier and the lens, in the process of the glue changing from a flexible wet state to a tough, hard solid state, its cohesive strength properties will change greatly (the magnitude of which is about several thousand N/cm2), resulting in a relatively obvious internal stress of the glue. On the one hand, during the curing process of the glue, the glue will shrink. The shrinkage of the glue is different from the shrinkage of the bonding part of the lens barrel. Therefore, the shrinkage of the glue will produce a pulling force on the lens, which will cause a certain stress inside the lens, so that the The surface shape of the lens inside the lens is deformed or the position is shifted, which affects the imaging quality of the periscope module. On the other hand, the glue curing process in the assembly process of the periscope camera module often requires the module to be baked and cooled. During the baking and cooling process, the thermal expansion coefficient between the lens barrel of the lens and the glue is different. Matching (that is, the thermal expansion coefficients of the two are different), the lens barrel of the lens and the glue will have different shrinkage amounts, so that a certain stress will be generated inside the lens, which will affect the surface shape of the lens in the lens, making the periscope type The image quality of the module is degraded.
进步一地,马达所需搭载的镜头重量较大时,例如潜望式长焦摄像模组往往需要较大重量的镜头,再例如采用大像面感光芯片而使镜头重量相应地增加等等情形,要将大重量镜头与马达载体固定,往往使用的胶水量也较大,从而使得胶水收缩或膨胀对镜头的成像品质造成更大的负面影响。On the other hand, when the weight of the lens that the motor needs to carry is relatively large, for example, the periscope telephoto camera module often requires a relatively heavy lens, and for example, the use of a large-image sensor chip increases the weight of the lens accordingly, etc. , To fix the heavy lens and the motor carrier, the amount of glue used is often larger, so that the shrinkage or expansion of the glue will have a greater negative impact on the imaging quality of the lens.
再者,目前潜望式摄像模组通常采用卧式组装方式,即棱镜模块、镜头模块、感光模块沿着水平方向布置,并将这些模块安装于模组壳体的底板。而模组壳体往往还需要与底板一体成型或者与底板连接的四个侧壁,因此为便于组装,马达载体往往不采用封闭式结构。传统的马达载体通常呈圆筒状,在组装时其轴线一般呈竖直状态,这样光学镜头可以从马达载体端面的开口处装入该载体内部。而对于卧式组装的潜望式模组,马达载体的两个端面分别朝向两侧,如果镜头仍然从其端面装入,则容易受到其他模块或者模组壳体的侧壁的干涉。因此,对于潜望式摄像模组,其载体的顶侧往往具有开口,以便镜头可以从载体的顶部装入。然而,由于载体的周侧是不封闭的,载体与镜头固定时胶水的收缩或膨胀所带来的应力将更加不均匀。因此,对于潜望式摄像模组,载体与镜头采用胶水进行固定对成像品质所造成的负面影响可能会更加明显。Furthermore, the current periscope camera module usually adopts a horizontal assembly method, that is, the prism module, the lens module, and the photosensitive module are arranged in a horizontal direction, and these modules are installed on the bottom plate of the module housing. The module housing often needs to be integrally formed with the bottom plate or four side walls connected to the bottom plate. Therefore, in order to facilitate assembly, the motor carrier often does not adopt a closed structure. The traditional motor carrier is usually cylindrical, and its axis is generally vertical during assembly, so that the optical lens can be loaded into the carrier from the opening on the end face of the motor carrier. For the periscope module assembled horizontally, the two end faces of the motor carrier face to the two sides respectively. If the lens is still installed from its end face, it will be easily interfered by other modules or the side walls of the module housing. Therefore, for the periscope camera module, the top side of the carrier often has an opening so that the lens can be loaded from the top of the carrier. However, since the peripheral side of the carrier is not closed, the stress caused by the shrinkage or expansion of the glue when the carrier is fixed to the lens will be more uneven. Therefore, for the periscope camera module, the negative impact on the image quality caused by fixing the carrier and the lens with glue may be more obvious.
总之,市场上期待一种具有高成像品质,有助于模组小型化,易于组装等诸多优势的用于光学致动器的镜头固定结构及相应的摄像模组。In a word, the market expects a lens fixing structure for an optical actuator and a corresponding camera module with many advantages such as high imaging quality, miniaturization of modules, and easy assembly.

具体来说,本实施例中,镜头包括镜片(通常为透镜)和镜筒。一般来说,镜头包括至少两个沿光轴布置的镜片,镜片的数量可以根据光学设计改变,镜筒可以将多个镜片沿光轴方向容纳其中。本实施例中,使用弹性构件将镜头固定于马达载体中。为便于描述,下文中有时将马达载体简称为载体,将载体、弹片和镜筒所构成的组合结构视为所述镜头固定结构。本实施例中,载体可以呈单侧开口的筒状。具体地,所述载体的横截面(指垂直于该载体的轴线的截面)可以呈U型,其开口侧向上。也就是说,当载体的轴线呈水平状态时,所述载体的顶侧具有开口。这样,镜筒可以从载体的顶侧放入该载体中,并且在放置过程中可以基于感光组件的实测成像结果来调整镜头的位置,使得潜望式摄像模组达到预设的成像品质指标。需注意,本申请中所述马达机构可以是VCM马达(其通常由线圈磁铁组合来提供驱动力,VCM是音圈电机的英文缩写)、SMA马达(其通过SMA元件提供驱动力,SMA是形状记忆合金的英文缩写)、或者MEMS马达(MEMS是微机电***的英文缩写)等,本申请主要涉及的是用于载体与镜头固定的固定结构,因此对于马达所采用的驱动元件的类型可以不做限制。Specifically, in this embodiment, the lens includes a lens (usually a lens) and a lens barrel. Generally speaking, the lens includes at least two lenses arranged along the optical axis, the number of the lenses can be changed according to the optical design, and the lens barrel can accommodate a plurality of lenses along the optical axis. In this embodiment, an elastic member is used to fix the lens in the motor carrier. For ease of description, the motor carrier is sometimes referred to as a carrier for short hereinafter, and the combined structure formed by the carrier, the elastic sheet and the lens barrel is regarded as the lens fixing structure. In this embodiment, the carrier may have a cylindrical shape with one side open. Specifically, the cross section of the carrier (referring to the cross section perpendicular to the axis of the carrier) may be U-shaped with the opening side facing upward. That is, when the axis of the carrier is in a horizontal state, the top side of the carrier has an opening. In this way, the lens barrel can be put into the carrier from the top side of the carrier, and the position of the lens can be adjusted based on the measured imaging result of the photosensitive component during the placement process, so that the periscope camera module can reach the preset imaging quality index. It should be noted that the motor mechanism described in this application can be a VCM motor (which usually provides a driving force by a combination of coil magnets, VCM is the English abbreviation of voice coil motor), an SMA motor (which provides driving force through SMA elements, SMA is a shape The English abbreviation of memory alloy), or MEMS motor (MEMS is the English abbreviation of Micro-Electro-Mechanical System), etc. This application mainly relates to the fixed structure used for fixing the carrier and the lens, so the type of driving element used in the motor can be different. make restrictions.
进一步地,在本申请的一些实施例中,镜头可以是D-cut镜头。D-cut镜头为在镜片上设置切割边(也可称为切边),使得镜片外轮廓形成切割圆状。图3示出了一个具有切边的镜片。本文中,将具有切边的镜片称为D-cut镜片。D-cut镜片包括至少一个弦边和至少一个圆弧边。其中弦边和圆弧边邻接,其中弦边和圆弧边的曲率不同,弦边的曲率为0,是直线段,圆弧边的曲率>0, 是一弧形线段。当镜片外轮廓由一个弦边和一个圆弧边组成时,其形状类似于字母“D”,因此称为D-cut镜片。然而,D-cut镜片并不限于字母“D”的形状。例如,参考图3,D-cut镜片可以具有两个平行的切边21a,此时其外轮廓由两个弦边和两个圆弧边构成。在一个优选实施例中,切边21a仅位于镜片的非光学区,以避免对镜头的光学区产生影响。进一步地,D-cut镜片包括两弦边和两圆边,以使得该D-cut镜片具有对称性,从而使得该D-cut镜片在成型(例如注塑成型)时,镜片产生的内部应力较为均匀。这样,在制造镜片的过程中,液态材料固化成型过程中材料本身的收缩会相对更均匀,镜片的面型精度可以在一定程度上得到提高(相比不对称的D-cut镜片)。进一步地,为使得D-cut镜片与镜筒紧密组合,可以在镜筒上也设置至少一切边,且D-cut镜片的切边与镜筒的切边的位置匹配,镜片在组入镜筒中时,镜筒对镜片的压力作用相对均匀对称,以使得镜片受镜筒挤压而导致的形变更均匀对称。进一步地,D-cut镜片可以通过注塑成型的方式成型,其中切边可以直接通过设定模具形状而直接成型呈D-cut状(即切割圆状);也可以先成型一常规镜片,然后通过切削的方式实现切边的设置。Further, in some embodiments of the present application, the lens may be a D-cut lens. A D-cut lens is to set a cut edge (also called a cut edge) on the lens, so that the outer contour of the lens forms a cut circle. Figure 3 shows a lens with a cut edge. Herein, lenses with cut edges are referred to as D-cut lenses. D-cut lenses include at least one chord edge and at least one arc edge. The chord edge and the arc edge are adjacent, and the curvature of the chord edge and the arc edge are different, the curvature of the chord edge is 0, it is a straight line segment, and the curvature of the arc edge > 0, it is an arc line segment. When the outer contour of the lens consists of a chord edge and an arc edge, its shape is similar to the letter "D", so it is called a D-cut lens. However, D-cut lenses are not limited to the shape of the letter "D". For example, referring to FIG. 3 , the D-cut lens may have two parallel cut edges 21a, and at this time, its outer contour is composed of two chord edges and two arc edges. In a preferred embodiment, the cut edge 21a is only located in the non-optical area of the lens to avoid affecting the optical area of the lens. Further, the D-cut lens includes two chord edges and two round edges, so that the D-cut lens has symmetry, so that when the D-cut lens is molded (such as injection molding), the internal stress generated by the lens is relatively uniform . In this way, in the process of manufacturing the lens, the shrinkage of the material itself during the curing and molding of the liquid material will be relatively more uniform, and the surface accuracy of the lens can be improved to a certain extent (compared to asymmetric D-cut lenses). Further, in order to make the D-cut lens and the lens barrel tightly combined, at least a cut edge can also be provided on the lens barrel, and the position of the cut edge of the D-cut lens matches the position of the cut edge of the lens barrel, and the lens is assembled into the lens barrel. When the pressure of the lens barrel is relatively uniform and symmetrical, the deformation of the lens caused by the extrusion of the lens barrel is more uniform and symmetrical. Further, the D-cut lens can be molded by injection molding, wherein the cut edge can be directly molded into a D-cut shape (ie, a circular shape) by setting the shape of the mold; The cutting method realizes the setting of cutting edge.
上述实施例中,对于卧式组装的潜望式摄像模组,在将镜头与载体组装时,镜头的切边可以置于顶侧。当镜头具有两个平行的切边时,两个平行的切边可以分别置于顶侧和底侧。这里卧式组装是指在组装时光路转折组件10、镜头组件20和感光组件30沿水平方向布置(即横向布置,可参考图2)。In the above-mentioned embodiment, for the horizontally assembled periscope camera module, when the lens and the carrier are assembled, the cut edge of the lens can be placed on the top side. When the lens has two parallel cut edges, the two parallel cut edges can be placed on the top and bottom sides, respectively. The horizontal assembly here means that the optical path turning assembly 10 , the lens assembly 20 and the photosensitive assembly 30 are arranged in a horizontal direction during assembly (ie, horizontally arranged, please refer to FIG. 2 ).
需注意,在现有的潜望式摄像模组的组装过程中,为使镜头牢固的固定于马达载体,在镜头及马达载体之间布设大量胶水以将镜头及马达载体粘接固定。不论是常规镜头还是D-cut镜头,通过胶水将镜头与马达载体固定,胶水在固化的过程中会收缩,在收缩的过程中会对镜筒产生拉扯,由于胶水的收缩量与粘接位置的收缩量不同,因此会导致镜头内部产生不均匀的应力,从而对镜筒内的镜片造成挤压从而使得镜片面型发生变化,而对成像效果产生影响;再者,在摄像模组的烘烤并冷却的过程中,镜头的镜筒与胶水之间的热膨胀系数不匹配(不同),镜头的镜筒与胶水之间产生了不同的收缩量,也会使镜头内部产生不均匀的应力,应力对镜头中的镜片面型造成影响,使成像品质下降。在常规镜头中,镜头内的应力不均会使得镜片的面型发生变化,变大或缩小;而在D-cut镜头中,由于镜筒和镜片具有切边,胶水的应力影响会使得镜头内 的应力不均匀,并且由于在切边镜筒离镜片光学区的距离更短,因此在切边胶水的应力会对镜片产生更大的影响,使得镜片更容易发生形变。It should be noted that, in the assembling process of the existing periscope camera module, in order to firmly fix the lens to the motor carrier, a large amount of glue is arranged between the lens and the motor carrier to bond and fix the lens and the motor carrier. Whether it is a conventional lens or a D-cut lens, the lens and the motor carrier are fixed by glue, the glue will shrink during the curing process, and the lens barrel will be pulled during the shrinking process. The amount of shrinkage is different, so it will cause uneven stress inside the lens, which will squeeze the lens in the lens barrel, which will change the surface shape of the lens and affect the imaging effect; in addition, the baking of the camera module During the cooling process, the thermal expansion coefficient between the lens barrel of the lens and the glue does not match (different), resulting in different shrinkage between the lens barrel and the glue, which will also cause uneven stress inside the lens. Affects the surface shape of the lens in the lens and reduces the image quality. In a conventional lens, the uneven stress in the lens will cause the surface shape of the lens to change, becoming larger or smaller; while in a D-cut lens, because the lens barrel and the lens have cut edges, the stress of the glue will make the lens inside the lens. The stress is not uniform, and since the distance between the lens barrel at the cut edge and the optical zone of the lens is shorter, the stress of the glue at the cut edge will have a greater impact on the lens, making the lens more prone to deformation.
为了避免镜筒与马达载体间胶水应力的影响,本申请中在镜筒与马达载体间设置一弹性构件,进而构成一镜头固定结构。该镜头固定结构中,弹性构件被设置于镜筒与马达载体之间,用于支撑和固定镜头。In order to avoid the influence of the glue stress between the lens barrel and the motor carrier, in the present application, an elastic member is arranged between the lens barrel and the motor carrier, thereby forming a lens fixing structure. In the lens fixing structure, the elastic member is arranged between the lens barrel and the motor carrier for supporting and fixing the lens.
进一步地,在本申请的一个实施例中,所述镜头固定结构中,弹性构件的一端通过扣合或模塑的方式固定于镜筒,另一端通过粘贴或扣合的方式固定于马达载体。通过该弹性构件,可以避免镜筒与马达载体之间直接通过胶水粘贴,从而避免了胶水产生的应力直接影响镜筒,避免镜头产生形变,保证拍摄质量和效果。弹性构件在镜筒与马达载体之间具有一定的预紧力,该预紧力增加了镜头与马达间的摩擦力,从而避免镜头随意晃动。预紧力是指:弹性构件在安装状态下就具有一定的载荷,其用于消除机械机构的异响、晃动。Further, in an embodiment of the present application, in the lens fixing structure, one end of the elastic member is fixed to the lens barrel by means of buckling or molding, and the other end is fixed to the motor carrier by means of sticking or buckling. Through the elastic member, it can be avoided that the lens barrel and the motor carrier are directly pasted with glue, thereby avoiding the stress generated by the glue directly affecting the lens barrel, preventing the lens from being deformed, and ensuring the shooting quality and effect. The elastic member has a certain pre-tightening force between the lens barrel and the motor carrier, and the pre-tightening force increases the frictional force between the lens and the motor, thereby preventing the lens from shaking at will. The pre-tightening force means that the elastic member has a certain load in the installed state, which is used to eliminate the abnormal noise and shaking of the mechanical mechanism.
进一步地,图4示出了本申请的一个实施例中的镜头固定结构的剖面示意图。参考图4,本实施例中,镜头固定结构包括镜筒51、载体52和连接所述镜筒52和所述载体52的弹性构件53。所述弹性构件53包括一用于固定镜筒的固定部531和一用于连接载体52的连接部532。所述固定部531的轮廓呈U形,该U形固定部531的内部构成一容纳腔,容纳腔的顶部具有开口(即固定部531的开口的方向与马达载体52的开口方向相同),以便镜筒51从顶部装入该容纳腔。并且,在放置过程中可根据实际成像结果来调整镜头的位置,从而提升成像品质。弹性构件53的承靠面531a的形状可以与镜筒51的外侧面一致,即弹性构件53的固定部531可以包括一平面状的底壁533和两个弧形侧壁534。两个呈弧形的侧壁534可以具有预紧力,从而从两侧夹住所述镜筒51。在组装过程中,镜头从固定部531的开口处塞入容纳腔,镜头向下移动过程中,该镜头先是向外挤压弹性构件53的两个弧形侧壁534,使开口增大,然后在镜头装入容纳腔后两个弧形侧壁534在弹力的作用下向内回弹,开口缩小,从而将镜筒51(也就是将整个镜头)扣合在弹性构件53的固定部531内。由于弹性构件53两侧的弧形侧壁534对称布置,该弹性构件53可以提供平稳和力度适当的弹力以将镜头夹持固定,使镜头在摄像模组发生晃动时不会脱落,同时还可以保证拍摄质量和拍摄效果。Further, FIG. 4 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of a lens fixing structure in an embodiment of the present application. Referring to FIG. 4 , in this embodiment, the lens fixing structure includes a lens barrel 51 , a carrier 52 , and an elastic member 53 connecting the lens barrel 52 and the carrier 52 . The elastic member 53 includes a fixing portion 531 for fixing the lens barrel and a connecting portion 532 for connecting the carrier 52 . The outline of the fixing portion 531 is U-shaped, and the interior of the U-shaped fixing portion 531 forms a accommodating cavity, and the top of the accommodating cavity has an opening (that is, the opening direction of the fixing portion 531 is the same as the opening direction of the motor carrier 52 ), so that The lens barrel 51 is loaded into the accommodating cavity from the top. Moreover, during the placement process, the position of the lens can be adjusted according to the actual imaging results, thereby improving the imaging quality. The shape of the bearing surface 531a of the elastic member 53 may be consistent with the outer surface of the lens barrel 51 , that is, the fixing portion 531 of the elastic member 53 may include a planar bottom wall 533 and two arcuate side walls 534 . The two arc-shaped side walls 534 may have a preload to clamp the lens barrel 51 from both sides. During the assembly process, the lens is inserted into the accommodating cavity from the opening of the fixing portion 531. During the downward movement of the lens, the lens first squeezes the two arc-shaped side walls 534 of the elastic member 53 outward to make the opening larger, and then After the lens is installed in the accommodating cavity, the two arc-shaped side walls 534 rebound inward under the action of the elastic force, and the opening is reduced, so that the lens barrel 51 (that is, the entire lens) is buckled in the fixing portion 531 of the elastic member 53 . Since the curved side walls 534 on both sides of the elastic member 53 are symmetrically arranged, the elastic member 53 can provide a stable and appropriate elastic force to clamp and fix the lens, so that the lens will not fall off when the camera module is shaken, and also Guarantee the shooting quality and shooting effect.
进一步地,在本申请的一个实施例中,为使镜头的固定更加牢固,所述弹性构件的固定部开口尺寸小于镜筒的外直径,即固定部的高度高于镜头的光轴,该光轴呈水平姿态,本实施例中,可以将所述镜筒的中轴位置视为镜头的光轴位置。基于这种设计,在镜头放入弹性构件固定部的过程中,固定部的开口由于弹性构件的弹性而变大,在镜头放入固定部后,开口回到原来的位置,将镜头固定于弹性构件中。Further, in an embodiment of the present application, in order to fix the lens more firmly, the size of the opening of the fixing portion of the elastic member is smaller than the outer diameter of the lens barrel, that is, the height of the fixing portion is higher than the optical axis of the lens, and the light The axis is in a horizontal posture. In this embodiment, the position of the central axis of the lens barrel can be regarded as the position of the optical axis of the lens. Based on this design, when the lens is put into the fixing part of the elastic member, the opening of the fixing part becomes larger due to the elasticity of the elastic member. After the lens is put into the fixing part, the opening returns to the original position, and the lens is fixed in the elastic in the component.

本申请中,弹性构件的结构以及弹性构件、镜头和马达载体的扣合方式不限于上述实施例中描述的方式,只要使得弹性构件能够实现其功能,并且固定于镜头和马达载体之间即可。In this application, the structure of the elastic member and the way of engaging the elastic member, the lens and the motor carrier are not limited to the methods described in the above embodiments, as long as the elastic member can achieve its function and be fixed between the lens and the motor carrier. .
图9示出了本申请一个实施例中的镜头固定结构的立体示意图。参考图9,本实施例中,镜头21的光轴与Y轴方向一致,呈水平姿态。假设镜头21(结合参考图2)在光轴方向长度为L。弹性构件(图9中弹性构件被遮挡,因此未直接示出)的长度(沿光轴方向的尺寸)不大于镜头21的长度L。也就是说,弹性构件的长度可以恰好与镜头21的长度相匹配(大致相同),也可以小于镜头21的长度。本实施例中,镜头21包括多个镜片,根据镜片径向尺寸的不同,镜头的不同区段的径向尺寸(径向指垂直于光轴的方向)也可以是不同的。例如图9中,镜头21的中间区段21b的径向尺寸小于其前端区段21a(靠近物侧一端的区段)的径向尺寸,且大于其后端区段21c(靠近像侧一端的区段)的径向尺寸。本实施例中,弹性构件可以设置于镜头21的中间区段21b。由于中间区段21b的径向尺寸小于其前端区段21a,因此镜头21的中间区段21b与载体23之间具有足以容纳所述弹性构件的间隙。另一方面,弹性构件的长度(即Y轴方向的尺寸)可以与镜头的中间区段21b的长度适配。由于弹性构件设置在镜头的中间区段21b,因此也有助于镜头的前后重量的平衡,提升镜头固定结构的牢固性。进一步地,本实施例中,所述弹性构件中,其固定部的长度(指Y轴方向上的尺寸)与连接部(指Y轴方向上的尺寸)的长度可以基本上相同。FIG. 9 shows a schematic perspective view of a lens fixing structure in an embodiment of the present application. Referring to FIG. 9 , in this embodiment, the optical axis of the lens 21 is in the same direction as the Y axis, and is in a horizontal posture. It is assumed that the length of the lens 21 (in conjunction with reference to FIG. 2 ) is L in the optical axis direction. The length (dimension in the optical axis direction) of the elastic member (the elastic member is blocked in FIG. 9 and thus not directly shown) is not greater than the length L of the lens 21 . That is to say, the length of the elastic member may exactly match (substantially the same as) the length of the lens 21 , or may be smaller than the length of the lens 21 . In this embodiment, the lens 21 includes a plurality of lenses. According to the different radial dimensions of the lenses, the radial dimensions of different segments of the lens (the radial direction refers to the direction perpendicular to the optical axis) may also be different. For example, in FIG. 9 , the radial dimension of the middle section 21b of the lens 21 is smaller than the radial dimension of the front section 21a (the section close to the object side) and larger than the rear section 21c (the end close to the image side). segment) radial dimension. In this embodiment, the elastic member may be disposed on the middle section 21b of the lens 21 . Since the radial dimension of the middle section 21b is smaller than that of the front end section 21a thereof, there is a gap sufficient to accommodate the elastic member between the middle section 21b of the lens 21 and the carrier 23 . On the other hand, the length of the elastic member (ie, the dimension in the Y-axis direction) may be adapted to the length of the middle section 21b of the lens. Since the elastic member is arranged in the middle section 21b of the lens, it also helps to balance the front and rear weight of the lens, and enhances the firmness of the lens fixing structure. Further, in this embodiment, in the elastic member, the length of the fixing portion (referring to the dimension in the Y-axis direction) and the length of the connecting portion (referring to the dimension in the Y-axis direction) may be substantially the same.
在另一实施例中,所述弹性构件也可以设置于镜头的端部区段(例如前端区域或后端区段)。优选地,弹性构件设置于镜片的光学敏感度(下文中简称为敏感度)较高的一端,镜片敏感度较高即在镜片发生变化时对成像效果的影响更大。在镜片敏感度较高的一端设置弹性构件而取消胶水,可以避免胶水固化时应力对高敏感度镜片的面型产生影响,从而更好地保证成像质量。In another embodiment, the elastic member may also be provided at an end section of the lens (eg a front end region or a rear end section). Preferably, the elastic member is disposed at the end of the lens with higher optical sensitivity (hereinafter referred to as sensitivity), and the higher the sensitivity of the lens, that is, the greater the impact on the imaging effect when the lens changes. Disposing an elastic member at the end of the lens with high sensitivity and eliminating the glue can avoid the influence of the stress on the surface shape of the high-sensitivity lens when the glue is cured, so as to better ensure the imaging quality.
进一步地,在一优选实施例中,弹性构件设置于镜筒的径向尺寸较小的一端(例如镜筒的后端区段)。对于长焦摄像模组,由于其具有较小的视场角,为配合较小的视场角,除第一镜片的之外的其他镜片可以被设计成较小的尺寸。这样镜片尺寸较小的一端会具有更大的空间,将弹性构件设置于镜片尺寸较小的一端,可以将镜头与载体之间的空隙充分利用,提高摄像模组的空间利用率,使得模组的结构更加紧凑,进而帮助模组实现小型化。Further, in a preferred embodiment, the elastic member is disposed at the end of the lens barrel with a smaller radial dimension (eg, the rear end section of the lens barrel). For the telephoto camera module, since it has a smaller field of view, in order to match the smaller field of view, other lenses except the first lens can be designed to be smaller in size. In this way, the end of the lens with the smaller size will have a larger space. By arranging the elastic member at the end of the lens with the smaller size, the gap between the lens and the carrier can be fully utilized, and the space utilization rate of the camera module can be improved. The structure is more compact, thereby helping the module to achieve miniaturization.

Further, in order to fix the elastic member and the motor carrier more firmly, in this embodiment, glue can be further added to the buckle structure to reinforce the buckle connection and prevent the elastic member from falling off. During the assembly process, the elastic member will deform to a certain extent under the pressing force of the lens, but after the assembly is completed, the elastic member will basically return to its original shape through elastic force.
