The camera lens assembly according to claim 1 , wherein a center thickness CT2 of the second lens on the optical axis, and a sum of a center thickness ΣCT of the first to fourth lenses on the optical axis satisfy: 10<CT2*100/ΣCT<16. 3. The camera lens assembly according to claim 1 , wherein an object-side surface of the first lens is a convex surface, and an image-side surface of the fourth lens is a concave surface. 4. The camera lens assembly according to claim 1 , wherein a filter is disposed between the fourth lens and the image side, and the filter is a band-pass filter, wherein a band-pass wavelength λ of the band-pass filter fluctuates based on a wavelength of a used light source, a long wave cut-off wavelength of the band-pass wavelength λ is 15 nm to 50 nm longer than a longest wavelength of the wavelength of the used light source, and a short wave cut-off wavelength of the band-pass wavelength λ is 15 nm to 50 nm shorter than a shortest wavelength of the wavelength of the used light source. 5. The camera lens assembly according to claim 1 , wherein an effective focal length f1 of the first lens satisfies: 1<f1/f<1.9. 6. The camera lens assembly according to claim 1 wherein a sum of a center thickness ΣCT of the first to fourth lenses on the optical axis, and a distance TTL from the first lens to an image plane on the optical axis satisfy: ΣCT/TTL<0.5. 7. The camera lens assembly according to claim 1 , wherein a center thickness CT2 of the second lens on the optical axis, a center thickness CT3 of the third lens on the optical axis and a center thickness CT4 of the fourth lens on the optical axis satisfy: 0.5<(CT2+CT3)/CT4<1.6. 8. The camera lens assembly according to claim 1 , wherein a center thickness CT2 of the second lens on the optical axis and a center thickness CT3 of the third lens on the optical axis satisfy: 0.5<CT2/CT3<1. 9. The camera lens assembly according to claim 1 , wherein an effective radius DT11 of an object-side surface of the first lens and an effective radius DT22 of an image-side surface of the second lens satisfy: 0.7<DT11/DT22<1.2. 10. The camera lens assembly according to claim 1 , wherein a distance SAG31 from an intersection of an object-side surface of the third lens and the optical axis to a projection of an effective radius vertex of the object-side surface of the third lens on the optical axis, and a distance SAG32 from an intersection of an image-side surface of the third lens and the optical axis to a projection of an effective radius vertex of the image-side surface of the third lens on the optical axis satisfy: 0.5<SAG31/SAG32<1.
