Abstract

An exemplary camera mechanism ( 8 ) includes a lens module ( 10 ), an image sensor module ( 20 ), an electronic module ( 30 ), and a transmission module ( 40 ). The image sensor module is mounted under the lens module. The electronic module is mounted to at least one of the lens module and the image sensor module. The transmission module has a main body ( 41 ), a first electronic connection end ( 43 ) and a second electronic connection end ( 45 ). The lens module and the image sensor module are mounted on the main body. The first electronic connection end is formed at a top end of the main body. The second electronic connection end is formed at a bottom end of the main body. The first electronic connection end is electrically connected to the electronic module and to the second electronic connection end, and the second electronic connection end is capable of being electrically connected to a mother board ( 50 ).

Claims (8)

1. A camera mechanism, comprising:

a lens module;

an image sensor module mounted under the lens module;

an electronic module mounted to at least one of the lens module and the image sensor module; and

a transmission module having a main body, a first electronic connection end, a second electronic connection end, and a wire, the main body being a sleeve barrel, the lens module and the image sensor module being mounted within the main body, the first electronic connection end being formed at an inner surface of a top end of the main body, the second electronic connection end being formed at a bottom surface of the main body, the first electronic connection end being electrically connected to the electronic module, the second electronic connection end being capable of being electrically connected to a mother board, the wire being mounted on the inner surface of the sleeve barrel and electrically connecting the first electronic connection end and the second electronic connection end.

2. The camera mechanism as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the sleeve barrel is a hollow cylinder.

3. The camera mechanism as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the electronic module is a focusing module configured for adjusting a distance between the lens module and the image sensor module.

4. The camera mechanism as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second electronic connection end is electrically connected directly to the mother board, thus allowing signals to be transmitted between the electronic module and the mother board.
