Fig. 1 shows a schematic block diagram of a first embodiment of an infrared thermometry module 100 according to the present invention. The infrared temperature measurement module 100 includes a housing 110, an infrared lens 120, an infrared sensing chip 130, a circuit board 140, and a processor (MCU) 150. The infrared sensor chip 130 and the processor 150 are connected to the circuit board 140. Infrared lens 120 focuses infrared radiation onto infrared sensor chip 130, and at least infrared lens 120 and infrared sensor chip 130 are housed within housing 110. The infrared temperature measurement module 100 further includes an infrared-transparent package 160 for packaging the infrared sensor chip 130. Here, the MCU processor 150 is configured to receive the voltage signal transmitted from the infrared sensor chip 130, convert the voltage signal into a digital signal, and transmit the digital signal to a display module of a mobile phone. A pin is disposed at the bottom of the MCU processor 150, and the MCU processor 150 is electrically connected to the circuit board 140 through the pin to realize conduction.
According to the infrared temperature measurement module 100, infrared radiation light generated by a measured object can penetrate through the infrared lens 120, the infrared radiation light is focused on the infrared sensing chip 130 through the convergence effect of the infrared lens 120, the infrared sensing chip 130 can detect the infrared radiation light focused on the infrared sensing chip and generate corresponding voltage signals to be transmitted to the MCU processor 150 for processing, the MCU processor 150 receives the voltage signals and converts the voltage signals into digital signals to be transmitted out, so that the temperature of the object at a longer distance can be measured, the distance can reach 15-25 cm, a user does not need to be close to the measured object when measuring the temperature, and the user experience is greatly improved.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 1, MCU processor 150 is disposed directly on circuit board 140 and electrically connected to circuit board 140. Here, the infrared lens 120, the infrared sensing chip 130 and the MCU processor 150 are all disposed in the housing 110, so as to protect the components of the infrared temperature measurement module 100 from contamination and ensure that the infrared temperature measurement module 100 is not damaged during transportation.
The housing 110 shown in fig. 1 is "L" shaped and has a first arm segment 111 and a second arm segment 112 perpendicular to each other. Wherein the infrared lens 120 is accommodated in the first arm segment 111 and the circuit board 140 is accommodated in the second arm segment 112. The L-shaped shell can particularly favorably reduce the occupied volume of the infrared temperature measurement module. Of course, the housing 110 may have other shapes to accommodate the components of the infrared temperature measurement module 100, which is not limited in the present invention.
Here, the infrared lens 120 is disposed on the top of the infrared temperature measurement module 100, and is used for focusing the infrared radiation of the object to be measured. As shown in FIG. 1, infrared lens 120 is positioned at top end 113 of housing 110 such that a top surface 121 of infrared lens 120 is exposed to the exterior and is flush with top end 113 of housing 110 to ensure that sufficient infrared radiation rays can enter the infrared lens without being obscured by the housing. Here, two projections 115 and 116 are provided on the inner side wall 114 of the housing, for example directly below the ir lens 120, to provide support for the ir lens 120, facilitating the fixing of said ir lens 120 to the top end 113 of the housing 110.
In some embodiments, infrared lens 120 may be a glass lens, without temperature drift. In particular, the infrared lens 120 may be a silicon infrared lens, which has a high refractive index and a small dispersion, and is opaque in a visible light band, but has a good transmittance in an infrared light band, so that the infrared radiation generated by the object to be measured can pass through the infrared lens 120 and be focused on the infrared sensor chip 130.
Since the infrared temperature measurement module 100 of the present invention is used for measuring temperature at a long distance, in order to make temperature measurement of an object to be measured more accurate, an infrared lens with a field angle of 6 ° to 8 ° may be used in some embodiments. For example, the field angle of the infrared lens may be 7.6 °.
In the invention, infrared radiation rays generated by the measured object are converged into the photosensitive area of the infrared sensing chip through the infrared lens, so that the temperature measurement at a longer distance can be realized. According to the formula, FOV is a field angle, H is a phase plane, and EFL is a focal length, and since the photosensitive area of the infrared sensor chip is fixed, the focal length of the infrared lens needs to be increased to reduce the field angle of the infrared lens. In order to enable the infrared sensor chip 130 to receive the infrared radiation, the distance from the infrared lens 120 to the infrared sensor chip 130 needs to satisfy the requirement of the focal length of the infrared lens. Preferably, the distance from the infrared lens 120 to the infrared sensing chip 130 is not greater than 2.94 mm. Since the height of the infrared temperature measurement module 100 mainly depends on the distance from the infrared lens 120 to the infrared sensor chip 130, the height of the infrared temperature measurement module 100 is not higher than 4.55 mm. Therefore, the infrared temperature measurement module 100 is particularly beneficial to being arranged in small-sized terminal equipment such as mobile phones.
The infrared sensor chip 130 may be, for example, a thermopile sensor chip, and is capable of converting a received optical signal into an electrical signal in a fast response, and is mainly used for receiving infrared radiation generated by the temperature of a measured object. As shown in fig. 1, infrared sensor chip 130 is disposed directly below infrared lens 120, i.e., optical axis X1 of infrared sensor chip 130 is maintained substantially coincident with optical axis X2 of infrared lens 120, so as to ensure that infrared radiation focused by infrared lens 120 is maximally received by infrared sensor chip 130.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the infrared sensor chip 130 is electrically connected to the circuit board 140 through a wire 141.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, infrared sensor chip 130 has a first surface 131 facing infrared lens 120 on a near-object side and a second surface 132 facing circuit board 140 on a near-image side. In addition, the infrared sensor chip 130 includes a photosensitive region 133 and a non-photosensitive region 134 surrounding the photosensitive region 133 and located around the photosensitive region 133, i.e., the non-photosensitive region 134 is an annular region surrounding the photosensitive region 133. Here, photosensitive region 133 and non-photosensitive region 134 are located on first surface 131 of infrared sensor chip 130 and opposite to infrared lens 120.
When the infrared temperature measurement module operates, the temperature of the photosensitive region 133 of the infrared sensor chip 130 rises when receiving the infrared light, and the generated heat is conducted to the non-photosensitive region 134, so that the temperature of the non-photosensitive region 134 rises, thereby affecting the accuracy of the infrared sensor chip 130. Therefore, in the embodiment shown in fig. 2 and 3, in order to avoid affecting the accuracy of the infrared sensor chip 130 due to heat conduction, a cavity 135 is provided at a lower portion of the infrared sensor chip 130, i.e., the cavity 135 is located at the second surface (i.e., the side facing away from the photosensitive area 133) 132 of the infrared sensor chip 130 and is disposed opposite to the circuit board 140, and the cavity 135 has an opening at a side facing the circuit board 140. In particular, a vacuum is maintained in the cavity 135 such that heat generated by the photosensitive region 133 is conducted into the cavity 135 and not further conducted into the non-photosensitive region 134.
Further, as shown in the top view of fig. 3, an area S1 of the cavity 135 is larger than an area S2 of the photosensitive region 133 and smaller than an area S3 of the infrared sensor chip 130, as viewed along the optical axis X1 of the infrared sensor chip 130. In some embodiments, the ratio of the area S1 of the cavity 135 to the area S3 of the infrared sensor chip 130 may be in the range of 0.1 to 1. In some embodiments, the ratio of the area S1 of cavity 135 to the area S2 of photosensitive region 133 may be in the range of 4 to 6. In a specific example, the ratio of the area S1 of the cavity 135 to the area S3 of the infrared sensor chip 130 is 0.37, and the ratio of the area S1 of the cavity 135 to the area S2 of the photosensitive region 133 is 5.4.
Further, as shown in fig. 2, the ratio H1/H2 of the thickness H1 of the cavity 135 along the optical axis X1 to the thickness H2 of the infrared sensor chip 130 along the optical axis X1 may be in the range of 0.7-0.9. In a specific example, the ratio of the thickness H1 of the cavity 135 along the optical axis X1 to the thickness H2 of the infrared sensor chip 130 along the optical axis X1, H1/H2, is 0.88.
In addition, the surface of the non-photosensitive region 134 may be coated with an opaque material or a light-shielding material, such as a black body, to prevent the non-photosensitive region 134 from contacting the infrared radiation.
Further, as shown in fig. 2, a substrate 170 is disposed between the second surface 132 of the infrared sensor chip 130 and the circuit board 140, and the infrared sensor chip 130 is disposed on the circuit board 140 through the substrate 170, so as to prevent the infrared sensor chip 130 from directly contacting the circuit board 140, and further prevent heat generated by the circuit board 140 during operation from affecting the precision of the infrared sensor chip 130.
Further, as shown in fig. 4, the infrared sensor chip 130 is packaged in an inert gas environment by the light-permeable package 160, that is, the infrared sensor chip 130 is packaged in an inert gas through the package 160, so that the accuracy of the infrared sensor chip 130 can be prevented from being reduced due to energy loss during operation. For example, in a simple implementation, the package body 160 may be provided with a groove 161 on a side facing the photosensitive area 133, the groove 161 is filled with an inert gas, and the package body 160 encapsulates at least the photosensitive area 133 of the infrared sensor chip 130 in an inert gas environment by using the groove 161.
The material of the package body 160 may be silicon or other light-permeable material, which is not limited in the present invention. The gas in the package body 160 may be nitrogen or other inert gas, which is not limited in the present invention.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 4, the package body 160 encapsulates only the photosensitive area 133 of the infrared sensor chip 130 in an inert gas environment, and the package body 160 is disposed on the non-photosensitive area 134 of the infrared sensor chip 130. In other embodiments, as shown in fig. 5, the package 160 may also encapsulate the entire infrared sensor chip 130, that is, the package 160 surrounds the photosensitive region 133 and the non-photosensitive region 134 of the infrared sensor chip 130, so that the entire infrared sensor chip 130 is encapsulated in the inert gas environment.
Here, by encapsulating the infrared sensor chip 130 with the encapsulant 160, the infrared sensor chip can be placed in an inert gas environment to avoid affecting the accuracy thereof, and can be protected from external dust contamination.
In other embodiments, as shown in FIG. 6, the thickness H3 from the first surface 131 of the IR sensor chip 130 to the bottom surface of the BGA ball 162 is not greater than 0.39mm in order to further reduce the height of the entire IR temperature measurement module after determining the distance between the first surface 131 of the IR sensor chip 130 and the IR lens 120.
In addition, the infrared temperature measurement module 100 may further include a thermistor 180 accommodated in the housing 110, the thermistor being disposed on the circuit board 140 and electrically connected to the circuit board 140. The thermistor is used for temperature compensation of the circuit board, so that the measuring result is more accurate. The bottom of the thermistor 180 is provided with a pin through which the thermistor 180 is electrically connected to the circuit board 140. Further, the thermistor is a thermistor that is manufactured by utilizing the characteristic that the resistance value of a semiconductor significantly changes with temperature, and the temperature change of the medium to be measured can be known from the change in the resistance value of the thermistor measured within a certain temperature range. Therefore, the circuit board can generate heat when in work, and the thermistor reflects the temperature value of the circuit board when in work through the resistance value, so that the error interference of the temperature value of the circuit board to the temperature value of the object to be measured is avoided.
Further, the infrared temperature measurement module 100 may further include a reinforcing plate 190 attached to the bottom of the circuit board 140, so as to conduct away heat generated by the circuit board during operation, thereby preventing the temperature of the infrared temperature measurement module 100 from rising and affecting the accuracy of the infrared sensing chip 130.

The reinforcing plate 190 is disposed at the bottom of the circuit board and the infrared sensing chip for supporting the infrared temperature measurement module. Preferably, the reinforcing plate 190 is made of a metal material, so that heat generated by the circuit board and the infrared sensing chip can be transferred to the outside of the infrared temperature measurement module.
Compared with the embodiment shown in fig. 8, in the embodiment shown in fig. 9, under the condition that the distance between the infrared sensing chip 130 and the infrared lens 120 satisfies the requirement of the back focal length of the lens, since the back focal length of the infrared lens is not changed, that is, the distance between the infrared lens and the infrared sensing chip is not changed, the infrared sensing chip 130 is disposed in the opening 143 of the circuit board 140, so that the infrared sensing chip 130 further sinks and is attached to the reinforcing plate 190, the height of the infrared temperature measurement module can be further reduced, and the structure of the infrared temperature measurement module can be simplified.
