Abstract

This invention provides a photographing module comprising: a supporting frame having a movable element accommodation space, at least one first elastic element accommodation space and at least one first electrically-driven element accommodation space; a movable element having an optical system unit, at least one second electrically-driven element accommodation space and at least one second elastic element accommodation space, the movable element being received by the movable element accommodation space; an electrically-driven element received by the at least one first electrically-driven element accommodation space and the at least one second electrically-driven element accommodation space; an elastic element received by the at least one first elastic element accommodation space and the at least one second elastic element accommodation space, the elastic element being capable of sliding in the at least one second elastic element accommodation space; a vibration sensor disposed at a proper position of the photographing module for detecting a direction and a magnitude of a vibration; and a photo sensor disposed at an image side of the photographing module.

Dependent claims

A photographing module comprising:

a supporting frame having a movable element accommodation space formed in a central portion thereof, a plurality of first elastic element accommodation spaces and a plurality of first electrically-driven element accommodation spaces, being formed respectively at corners of the supporting frame;
a movable element having an optical system unit, a plurality of second electrically-driven element accommodation spaces and a plurality of second elastic element accommodation spaces, being formed as grooves respectively at four sides of the movable element and corresponding to the first elastic element accommodation spaces and the first electrically-driven element accommodation spaces, the movable element being received by the movable element accommodation space of the supporting frame;
at least one electrically-driven element received by at least one said first electrically-driven element accommodation space of the supporting frame and at least one said second electrically-driven element accommodation space of the movable element and configured to cause the movable element to move in at least one axis direction;
at least one elastic element, wherein two ends of the at least one elastic element are respectively received by two of said plurality of first elastic element accommodation spaces of the supporting frame, part of the at least one elastic element between the two ends is threaded in one said second elastic element accommodation space of the movable element, the at least one elastic element is configured to provide an elastic force in at least one axis direction, and the elastic element is capable of sliding in at least one said second elastic element accommodation space of the movable element;
a vibration sensor disposed at any proper position of the photographing module for detecting a direction and a magnitude of a vibration;
and
a photo sensor disposed at an image side of the photographing module.
