Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a camera and a terminal device. The camera can include a lens module that can be configured to move along its axis. The camera can further include an optical element, and the lens module moves toward or away from the optical element along its axis to adjust a distance between the optical element and the lens module. The camera can also include a light shielding component and a connecting structure, and the lens module is connected to the light shielding component through the connecting structure, the lens module moves along its axis, and drives the light shielding component to move through the connecting structure, to adjust a size of an opening of the light shielding component.
Claims14
A camera that is applied to a terminal device, the camera comprising:
- a lens module that is configured to move along an axis;
- an optical element that is coupled to the lens module so that the lens module is able to move towards or away from the optical element along the axis in order to adjust a distance between the optical element and the lens module;
- and a light shielding component that is coupled to the lens module through a connecting structure, the connecting structure driving the light shielding component to adjust a size of an opening of the light shielding component as the lens module moves along the axis;
- and the connecting structure further comprises a fixing part that is fixedly connected with the lens module, a first end of a connecting rod is rotatably connected with the fixing part and a second end of the connecting rod is rotatably connected with the light shielding part:
- wherein as the lens module moves along the axis, the connecting rod adjusts a distance of the light shielding part from the axis in a first direction and a distance of the light shielding part from the fixing part in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction.
A terminal device having a camera comprising:
- a lens module that is configured to move along an axis;
- an optical element that is coupled to the lens module so that the lens module moves toward or away from the optical element along the axis to adjust a distance between the optical element and the lens module;
- and a light shielding component that is coupled to the lens module through a connecting structure, the connecting structure driving the light shielding component to adjust a size of an opening of the light shielding component as the lens module moves along the axis and the connecting structure further comprises a fixing part that is fixedly connected with the lens module, a first end of a connecting rod is rotatably connected with the fixing part and a second end of the connecting rod is rotatably connected with the light shielding part;
- wherein as the lens module moves along the axis, the connecting rod adjusts a distance of the light shielding part from the axis in a first direction and a distance of the light shielding part from the fixing part in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction.
