Description

Camera module, electric bracket, assembling method and application thereof
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of camera modules, and more particularly, to a camera module, an electrical stand, and methods of assembling and using the same.
Background
With the rapid development of electronic products, the position of the electronic products in daily life is more and more important. In order to meet the market demand for space saving and portability, electronic devices are increasingly being made thinner and lighter, which requires the size of each component of the electronic devices, especially the thickness of each component, to be smaller and smaller.
The conventional COB (chip on Board) process camera module is formed by assembling a rigid-flex board, a photosensitive chip, a lens base, a motor drive and a lens. All electronic components are placed on the surface layer of the circuit board, and the components are not overlapped with each other. Along with the requirement of high pixel, ultra-thin module, the formation of image of module of making a video recording requires also more and more highly, and then the equipment degree of difficulty increases, and the device specification is higher. Meanwhile, the larger the pixel is, the larger the chip area can be correspondingly increased, and the number of passive components such as driving resistors and driving capacitors can be correspondingly increased, namely, the size of the module can be increased more and more.
The existing mobile phone camera module packaging structure contradicts with the thinning and miniaturization of the mobile phone to the camera module, so a compact camera module and a novel packaging technology thereof need to be invented to meet the requirements of product development.
Although the camera module is widely applied in the field of current camera modules, the camera module has many disadvantages.
Firstly, in the manufacturing process of the camera module, the motor needs to be welded on the circuit board after the camera module is assembled, so as to realize the power-on connection of the motor. Not only is the process complicated, but there are also many additional problems that may arise from this welding process, for example, product yield is likely to be affected by the quality of the weld completion. Also, the welded connection is not secure and is easily damaged during use and maintenance.
Secondly, because be provided with the base between motor and the base, so the base need be strideed across in the connection between motor and the circuit board, not only occupation space, and the fastness is relatively weak moreover.
Third, according to the conventional art, the external soldered electrical connection between the motor and the base is more susceptible to the external environment, for example, dust may affect the connection effect and the service life.
In addition, in order to provide a good supporting function for the base, the base must have a large size and occupy a large space, so that the size of the whole camera module is increased. If the size of the base is reduced in order to reduce the size of the camera module, the supporting function of the base may be affected.
In addition, the circuit board of the conventional camera module is separately disposed at the bottom of the camera module, and the circuit board is relatively far away from the motor, the photosensitive chip and other components requiring energy supply. This not only requires the consumption of a large number of energy conducting elements, such as wires, but also does not adequately address the design of the elements making up the circuit as needed throughout the circuit layout of the camera module, so that the space occupied by the elements making up the circuit is not reduced as reasonably. That is to say, if the relative position relation of the circuit board of the camera module and other components is rationally arranged, the space occupied by the circuit components necessary for the camera module can be further reduced, and the size of the camera module can be further reduced. Of course, the width size or the thickness size of the camera module can be selectively reduced according to market needs.
In addition, there are two methods for connecting the substrates in the camera module in the prior art, one is a snap-fit connection, and the other is a plug-in connection. The plug-in connection generally adopts a mode of combining a male connector seat and a female connector seat, and the plug-in connection generally adopts a mode of a Pin Pin golden finger at the bottom of a substrate and utilizing a thimble to contact. However, the substrate of the camera module has a problem that the substrate can only be connected in the up-and-down direction. That is, a photosensitive chip is attached to the upper surface of the substrate, and a device is connected to the lower surface of the substrate, but it is impossible to perform a press-fit connection and an insertion connection at the same time. Therefore, the camera module structure in the prior art cannot meet the requirements for connecting different devices.
Furthermore, along with the improvement of the pixels of the camera module in the prior art, the area of the photosensitive chip in the camera module is correspondingly increased, and because the driving resistors, the driving capacitors and other components are correspondingly increased, the packaging size of the camera module is increased. But the equipment of the module of making a video recording of encapsulation among the prior art is higher and higher to the dimensional requirement of the module of making a video recording, and the more and more size of the module of making a video recording after requiring the encapsulation among the prior art is thinner better, and smaller and more handy better, therefore actual conditions and actual demand have produced the contradiction.
Therefore, it is highly desirable to provide a camera module in order to solve the above problems in the prior art.
