A new Apple patent shows a camera system that uses movable lens and sensor components to reduce damage risk from impacts.
A patent Apple filed in September 2022 has just been approved today, and it showcases a system of shock limiters and dampers to improve camera reliability., shows a camera enclosure design with a fixed optics system and a movable image sensor enveloped by a voice coil motor. A damper is also attached to the fixed lens optics, designed to absorb an impact between the optics and the moving sensor.
“Due to the small form factor of the cameras, however, unintended movements, which may occur when the device is dropped, can cause camera components to collide and become damaged resulting in reduced camera reliability,” Apple’s patent application explains. For example, suppose a person drops their iPhone on the floor. This is a significant impact, and the force will try to move non-fixed components in similar directions, all else equal. If the optical system, like one with optical image stabilization, pushes lens elements into the image sensor, that’s a significant problem. Instead, if the sensor itself is placed on something that can move in response to external force, the problem can be avoided.
