Also, since the thickness of the bracket 121 is generally small, the airing holes 151 of the bracket 121 are generally opened on a side surface of the bracket 121 facing the lens barrel 112. Therefore, the air holes 151 (not shown in fig. 3 b) of the frame 121 are generally located within the coverage area of the second open end 1122 of the lens barrel 112, and the inside of the frame 121 is communicated with the external environment through the air holes 151 of the frame 121 and the air holes 151 of the lens barrel 112.
It should be understood that the inside of the lens barrel 112 herein refers to an inner space enclosed by the lens 111, the lens barrel 112 and the holder 121. The inside of the support 121 refers to an internal space surrounded by the filter 122, the support 121, and the circuit board 131. Unless otherwise stated, the inside of the lens barrel 112 and the inside of the bracket 121 are referred to as the two enclosed inner spaces, respectively.
In addition, in the thickness direction of the camera module 1, the air holes 151 on the bracket 121 and the air holes 151 on the lens barrel 112 may be located at the same position, that is, the air holes 151 on the bracket 121 and the air holes 151 on the lens barrel 112 are oppositely arranged; alternatively, the air holes 151 on the bracket 121 and the air holes 151 on the lens barrel 112 are respectively located at different positions in the thickness direction of the image pickup module 1, which is not limited in this embodiment. In the case that the air holes 151 of the bracket 121 and the air holes 151 of the lens barrel 112 do not correspond to each other, fig. 3b, 4b and 5b only show the air holes 151 of the lens barrel 112, and it can be understood that the air holes 151 of the bracket 121 and the air holes 151 of the lens barrel 112 are packaged in the same manner or similar.
However, after the air holes 151 are formed in the lens barrel 112 and the bracket 121, foreign matters such as dust in the external environment may enter the inside of the lens barrel 112 and the inside of the bracket 121 through the air holes 151, the dust inside the lens barrel 112 may adhere to the light emitting surface of the lens 111 and the front surface of the optical filter 122 (the surface of the optical filter 122 facing the lens 111), and the dust inside the bracket 121 may adhere to the back surface of the optical filter 122 (the surface of the optical filter 122 facing the image sensor 132) and the light sensing surface of the image sensor 132.
Since the lens 111, the filter 122 and the image sensor 132 are all photosensitive elements, they have high sensitivity to foreign matters such as dust, and if the surfaces of the lens 111, the filter 122 and the image sensor 132 have foreign matters such as dust, their working performance is affected, and further, the shooting effect of the camera module 1 is affected. Therefore, after the camera module 1 is assembled, the vent holes 151 on the lens barrel 112 and the bracket 121 need to be sealed, so as to prevent foreign matters from entering the inside of the lens barrel 112 and the inside of the bracket 121, ensure the working performance of the lens 111, the optical filter 122 and the image sensor 132, and improve the shooting effect of the camera module 1.
Referring to fig. 4a, in the related art, after the filter assembly 12 and the lens assembly 11 are assembled, a hole sealing adhesive 153 is formed in the air holes 151 of the bracket 121 and the air holes 151 of the lens barrel 112 by a dispensing process, and the air holes 151 of the bracket 121 and the air holes 151 of the lens barrel 112 are sealed by the hole sealing adhesive 153. Referring to fig. 4a and 4b, in the case that the air holes 151 on the support 121 are located within the coverage of the second open end 1122 of the lens barrel 112, the filter assembly 12 may be first attached to the circuit board 131, the air holes 151 on the support 121 of the filter assembly 12 are sealed by dispensing, the lens assembly 11 may be attached to the support 121, and then the air holes 151 on the lens barrel 112 are sealed by dispensing.
However, since the air holes 151 in the bracket 121 and the air holes 151 in the lens barrel 112 are completely sealed by the sealing glue 153, a sealed space is formed inside the bracket 121 and inside the lens barrel 112, and for a waterproof and sealed electronic device 100, for example, a mobile phone with waterproof performance, during the use of the electronic device 100, as the temperature rises, the air pressure inside the electronic device 100 increases, and the pressure outside the camera module 1 is greater than the pressure inside the bracket 121 and the pressure inside the lens barrel 112; alternatively, when the electronic device 100 performs performance detection under vacuum conditions, the pressure inside the holder 121 and the pressure inside the lens barrel 112 are higher than the pressure outside the camera module 1.
No matter the pressure inside the bracket 121 and the pressure inside the lens barrel 112 are smaller than the external pressure, or the pressure inside the bracket 121 and the pressure inside the lens barrel 112 are larger than the external pressure, as long as there is a difference between the pressures inside and outside the bracket 121 and inside and outside the lens barrel 112, the problems of the filter 122 being broken or the lens 111 being deformed may be caused, the reliability of the camera module 1 being reduced, and the function of the camera module 1 being affected.
In order to avoid the situation that air pressure difference exists between the inside and the outside of the support 121 and the inside and the outside of the lens barrel 112 when the temperature of the electronic device 100 rises and the electronic device 100 is in a vacuum environment, as shown in fig. 5a and 5b, in some other related technologies, a waterproof breathable film 154 is attached to the positions of the air holes 151 on the support 121 and the air holes 151 on the lens barrel 112, and for example, a waterproof breathable film can be attached to the inner wall of the support 121 and the inner wall of the lens barrel 112 by means of back adhesive or in-mold injection. Through covering waterproof ventilated membrane 154 on bleeder vent 151, waterproof ventilated membrane 154 plays dustproof, waterproof and ventilative effect simultaneously, when preventing that foreign matters such as dust from getting into inside the support 121 and inside the lens cone 112, the atmospheric pressure difference inside and outside balanced support 121 and the lens cone 112 avoids cracked or the camera lens 111 of light filter 122 to warp, ensures the reliability of making a video recording module 1.
However, since the waterproof breathable film 154 is a biological film and the mounting process of the waterproof breathable film 154 needs to be added, the cost of the camera module 1 is increased and the assembly efficiency of the camera module 1 is reduced.
In view of the above, referring to fig. 3a and fig. 3b, in the present embodiment, the soft adhesive valve 152 is sealed in the air hole 151 on the bracket 121 and the air hole 151 on the lens barrel 112, and the gap 1521 is disposed on the soft adhesive valve 152, and the soft adhesive valve 152 is sealed in the air hole 151, so that foreign matters such as dust in the external environment can be prevented from entering the inside of the bracket 121 and the inside of the lens barrel 112, and the performance of the camera module 1 is not affected; moreover, the air pressure inside and outside the bracket 121 and inside and outside the lens barrel 112 can be kept balanced by the gap 1521 on the soft rubber valve 152, so that the optical filter 122 and the lens 111 are prevented from being damaged, and the reliability of the camera module 1 is guaranteed.
Specifically, the air holes 151 on the support 121 and the air holes 151 on the lens barrel 112 are both provided with the soft rubber valve 152, and the soft rubber valve 152 blocks the air holes 151, so that foreign matters such as dust in the external environment can be prevented from entering the inside of the support 121 and the inside of the lens barrel 112. Moreover, a gap 1521 is arranged on the soft rubber valve 152, and the gap 1521 keeps a closed state under the condition that the pressure inside and outside the bracket 121 and the pressure inside and outside the lens barrel 112 are balanced; and under the condition that pressure difference exists between the inside and the outside of the bracket 121 or between the inside and the outside of the lens barrel 112, the gap 1521 is in an open state, and the air pressure difference between the inside and the outside of the bracket 121 or between the inside and the outside of the lens barrel 112 can be balanced through the gap 1521, so that the optical filter 122 or the lens barrel 112 is prevented from being damaged.
Taking the vent hole 151 on the support 121 as an example, the slit 1521 on the soft rubber valve 152 in the vent hole 151 is opened, the inside of the support 121 is communicated with the external environment, the gas in the external environment can enter the support 121 through the slit 1521 on the soft rubber valve 152, and the gas in the support 121 can enter the external environment through the slit 1521 on the soft rubber valve 152, so that the internal and external gas pressures of the support 121 are kept balanced, and the filter 122 is prevented from being damaged. Similarly, for the air hole 151 of the lens barrel 112, the gap 1521 of the soft rubber valve 152 in the air hole 151 is opened, the interior of the lens barrel 112 is communicated with the external environment, and the air pressure difference between the interior and the exterior of the lens barrel 112 can be balanced, so as to prevent the lens 111 and the optical filter 122 from being damaged, which is not described herein again.
The soft rubber valve 152 is made of a soft elastic material, and when the soft rubber valve 152 is in a natural state, that is, air pressures at two sides of the soft rubber valve 152 are balanced, that is, air pressures inside and outside the bracket 121 (inside and outside the lens barrel 112) are balanced, the gap 1521 is in a closed state; when the air pressure difference exists between the inside and the outside of the support 121 (inside and outside the lens barrel 112), the air pressure on the two sides of the soft rubber valve 152 is unbalanced, pressure is generated on the soft rubber valve 152, the soft rubber valve 152 deforms, the gap 1521 is opened to communicate the inside and the outside of the support 121 (inside and outside the lens barrel 112), and the air pressure inside and outside the support 121 (inside and outside the lens barrel 112) is balanced; after the air pressures inside and outside the bracket 121 (inside and outside the lens barrel 112) are balanced, the soft rubber valve 152 returns to the natural state, and the gap 1521 is closed again.
It can be understood that, when the air pressure outside the bracket 121 (outside the lens barrel 112) is greater than the air pressure inside the bracket 121 (inside the lens barrel 112), the soft rubber valve 152 deforms towards the inside of the bracket 121 (inside the lens barrel 112), and the gap 1521 is opened; when the air pressure inside the bracket 121 (inside the lens barrel 112) is greater than the air pressure outside the bracket 121 (outside the lens barrel 112), the soft rubber valve 152 deforms to the outside of the bracket 121 (outside the lens barrel 112), and the gap 1521 is opened.
For example, the soft rubber valve 152 may be made of silicone rubber, Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE), Thermoplastic polyurethane Elastomer rubber (TPU), or the like.

Referring to fig. 6, in the filter assembly 12, the mounting opening 1211 of the bracket 121 is located in a middle region of the plate surface of the bracket 121, a circumferential lap surface 1212 is provided at a position of the bracket 121 located at an outer edge of the mounting opening 1211, the lap surface 1212 is formed by inwardly recessing a surface of the bracket 121 (a side surface of the bracket 121 facing the lens assembly 11), and an edge of the filter 122 (not shown in the figure) is lapped on the lap surface 1212 to mount the filter 122 on the bracket 121. For example, the edge of the filter 122 may be adhered to the faying surface 1212 by a dispensing process.
By providing the overlapping surface 1212 recessed from the surface of the holder 121 at a portion of the holder 121 located at the outer edge of the mounting opening 1211, the filter 122 is mounted in the inwardly recessed region of the holder 121, so that the surface of the filter 122 can be flush with the surface of the holder 121, or the surface of the filter 122 can be recessed below the surface of the holder 121. Thus, as shown in fig. 3b, the assembly between the lens assembly 11 and the filter assembly 12 is facilitated, and a gap may be formed between the light-emitting surface of the optical filter 122 and the light-emitting surface of the lens 111, so as to meet the requirement of the installation gap between the optical filter 122 and the lens 111, and avoid damage to the optical filter 122 or the lens 111.
As shown in fig. 3b, an end surface of the side wall of the bracket 121 is attached to the circuit board 131, a gap is formed between the board surface of the bracket 121 and the circuit board 131, and the image sensor 132 is located in the gap to ensure that the image sensor 132 has a sufficient installation space to prevent the image sensor 132 from being damaged, so that a closed space is formed between the bracket 121 and the circuit board 131.
With reference to fig. 6, the ventilation holes 151 of the rack 121 are disposed near the edge of the plate surface of the rack 121, but the shape of the ventilation holes 151 of the rack 121 is not limited in this embodiment, for example, the ventilation holes 151 of the rack 121 are rectangular as shown in fig. 6, or the ventilation holes 151 of the rack 121 may also be circular, triangular, parallelogram, pentagonal, hexagonal, or other shapes.
Referring to fig. 7, the first open end 1121 of the lens barrel 112 has a size smaller than that of the second open end 1122, the lens barrel 112 forms a stepped surface 1124 between the first open end 1121 and the second open end 1122, and the vent holes 151 of the lens barrel 112 may be provided on the stepped surface 1124. Above the stepped surface 1124 is located a smaller-sized portion of the barrel wall of the barrel 112 for mounting the lens 111, which is, illustratively, offset from the center of the stepped surface 1124, e.g., one side of the smaller-sized portion of the barrel wall is flush with an edge of one side of the stepped surface 1124, and the other side of the smaller-sized portion of the barrel wall is spaced from an edge of the corresponding side of the stepped surface 1124.
By disposing the small-sized partial cylindrical wall of the lens barrel 112 corresponding to the mounting lens 111 away from the center of the stepped surface 1124, the size of the stepped surface 1124 can be reduced, the volume of the lens assembly 11 can be reduced, and the volume of the camera assembly can be reduced, on the basis of disposing the vent 151 on the reserved partial stepped surface 1124.
The shape of the vent holes 151 of the lens barrel 112 is not particularly limited in this embodiment, as with the vent holes 151 of the holder 121, and for example, the shape of the vent holes 151 of the lens barrel 112 is a circle as shown in fig. 7, or the shape of the vent holes 151 of the lens barrel 112 may be other shapes as described above.
Referring to fig. 6 and 7, the air holes 151 of the bracket 121 and the air holes 151 of the lens barrel 112 are provided with soft rubber valves 152 for blocking the air holes 151. As an embodiment, the soft glue valve 152 may be injection molded in the air hole 151 through a two-color injection molding process, that is, the soft glue valve 152 on the bracket 121 is integrally molded on the bracket 121, and the soft glue valve 152 on the lens barrel 112 is integrally molded on the lens barrel 112.
It should be noted that the two-color injection molding refers to a molding process in which two different materials are injected into the same mold, so that an injection molded part is formed by the two materials. Wherein the two materials may be the same material in two different colors, or the two materials may be different kinds of materials, for example, two materials having different hardness.
Specifically, the mold is mounted on the same injection molding machine (double-color injection molding machine) with two sets of injection molding devices, and two plastics are injected in sequence to generate a double-color product.
In this embodiment, the bracket 121 and the lens barrel 112 may be made of hard plastic, and the soft rubber valve 152 is made of soft rubber material. Therefore, according to the specific shapes of the bracket 121 and the lens barrel 112, a corresponding mold is manufactured, the mold is installed on a two-color injection molding machine, two types of plastics with different hardness are injected into the corresponding mold, and after demolding, the integrally molded bracket 121 (including the soft rubber valve 152 on the bracket 121) and the lens barrel 112 (including the soft rubber valve 152 on the lens barrel 112) are formed. During injection molding, hard plastic may be injected into the mold to form the bracket 121 (lens barrel 112), and then soft plastic materials may be injected into the mold to form the soft plastic valve 152 in the air hole 151 reserved on the bracket 121 (lens barrel 112).
As another embodiment, the soft rubber valve 152 may be separately manufactured and molded, and the soft rubber valve 152 is assembled into the air hole 151 in an extruding manner, so that the soft rubber valve 152 is tightly matched with the air hole 151, and the soft rubber valve 152 blocks the air hole 151. For example, the plane size of the soft rubber valve 152 may be slightly larger than the cross-sectional area of the vent 151, and when the soft rubber valve 152 is assembled in the vent 151, the hole wall of the vent 151 extrudes the soft rubber valve 152, so as to ensure that the soft rubber valve 152 is tightly attached to the hole wall of the vent 151.
In order to ensure that the soft rubber valve 152 is tightly assembled in the air holes 151 and prevent a gap from being generated between the soft rubber valve 152 and the hole walls of the air holes 151, sealant can be arranged on the circumferential side wall of the soft rubber valve 152, and the soft rubber valve 152 is adhered to the hole walls of the air holes 151 through the sealant. Therefore, the soft rubber valve 152 is adhered in the air hole 151, so that the soft rubber valve 152 can be firmly fixed; in addition, a sealing adhesive layer is arranged between the inner walls of the soft adhesive valve 152 and the air holes 151, so that the sealing performance of the soft adhesive valve 152 can be ensured.
For providing the slit 1521 on the soft glue valve 152, in an embodiment, the slit 1521 may be formed on the soft glue valve 152 by cutting with a knife die, that is, the slit 1521 on the soft glue valve 152 is a punch. Form gap 1521 on soft glue valve 152 through the cutting die blanking, because there is not any soft glue material of loss, be in natural state at soft glue valve 152, be the condition that there is not the atmospheric pressure difference in the both sides of soft glue valve 152 promptly, gap 1521 on the soft glue valve 152 is in the closed condition, and bleeder vent 151 is blocked up to soft glue valve 152.
When the air pressure on the two sides of the soft rubber valve 152 is unbalanced and the soft rubber valve 152 deforms, the punched gap 1521 is opened along with the deformation of the soft rubber valve 152. Taking the soft rubber valve 152 on the support 121 as an example, when there is a pressure difference between the inside and the outside of the support 121, at this time, the soft rubber valve 152 deforms, the punched gap 1521 is opened along with the deformation of the soft rubber valve 152, the inside of the support 121 and the external environment are communicated, until the pressure inside and the outside of the support 121 is balanced, the soft rubber valve 152 is restored to the original state, the gap 1521 is closed accordingly, and the soft rubber valve 152 completely blocks the vent hole 151. The working state of the soft rubber valve 152 on the lens barrel 112 is similar to that of the soft rubber valve 152 on the bracket 121, and is not described herein again.
Specifically, taking the soft rubber valve 152 integrally formed on the bracket 121 as an example, referring to fig. 8a and 8b, firstly, the bracket 121 and the soft rubber valve 152 covered on the vent 151 of the bracket 121 are injection molded through a two-color injection molding process; referring to fig. 9a and 9b, after the support 121 and the soft rubber valve 152 are molded, a slit 1521 may be punched on the soft rubber valve 152 by the cutting die 200 when the die is separated; referring to fig. 10a and 10b, after the slit 1521 is punched, the slit 1521 may be automatically closed after the cutting die 200 is withdrawn.
For the situation that the soft rubber valve 152 is manufactured separately and then the soft rubber valve 152 is tightly assembled in the air vent 151, before the soft rubber valve 152 is assembled, a gap 1521 can be punched on the soft rubber valve 152 through the cutting die 200; alternatively, after the soft rubber valve 152 is assembled to the vent 151, a slit 1521 is punched on the soft rubber valve 152 by the cutting die 200.
Wherein, a gap 1521 can be punched on the soft rubber valve 152; alternatively, a plurality of slits 1521 may be punched in the soft rubber valve 152. In this embodiment, the number and the positions of the slits 1521 on the soft rubber valve 152 are not specifically limited. Taking the soft rubber valve 152 provided with a plurality of slits 1521 as an example, the slits 1521 can be arranged at intervals; alternatively, some of the slits 1521 may cross each other. In addition, the present embodiment also does not specifically limit the length of the slit 1521.
Illustratively, as shown in fig. 6 and 7, two slits 1521 may be disposed on the soft glue valve 152, the two slits 1521 may be located at a central portion of the soft glue valve 152, and the two slits 1521 are disposed in a cross shape.
Through setting up the soft glue valve 152 in bleeder vent 151 on support 121 and the bleeder vent 151 on the lens cone 112 to set up the mode of gap 1521 on soft glue valve 152, can play the effect that prevents foreign matters such as dust from getting into in the module of making a video recording 1, when there is the atmospheric pressure difference between the inside and outside of the module of making a video recording 1, the atmospheric pressure inside and outside balanced module of making a video recording 1, protection camera lens 111, light filter 122 and image sensor 132 do not receive the damage. In addition, the forming assembly mode of the soft rubber valve 152 and the process for processing the gap 1521 on the soft rubber valve 152 are simple, the cost is low, and the assembly efficiency is high.
Example two
Fig. 11 is an exploded view of another camera module according to an embodiment of the present disclosure; fig. 12 is an exploded view of a third camera module according to the related art.
Referring to fig. 11, unlike the first embodiment, in the present embodiment, the structure of the camera module 1 is described by taking the camera module 1 in the electronic device 100 as an Auto Focus (AF) module.
Referring to fig. 11, the camera module 1 includes a lens 111, a driving device 14, a filter module 12, and an image sensor module 13, and the filter module 12 and the image sensor module 13 are sequentially disposed on a light emitting side of the lens 111.
The driving device 14 includes a housing 141, the housing 141 has a mounting hole 1411, the lens 111 is partially mounted in the housing 141 through the mounting hole 1411, and a light incident side of the lens 111 is exposed outside the housing 141. A driving component (not shown) is disposed in the driving device 14, and the driving component can drive the lens 111 to move in the housing 141, for example, the driving component drives the lens 111 to move along the optical axis direction of the lens 111 itself, so as to realize the focusing function of the lens 111. In some embodiments, the driving component can also drive the lens 111 to move along the plane direction where the lens 111 is located, so as to implement the anti-shake function of the lens 111.
Similar to the camera module 1 in the first embodiment, the filter assembly 12 of the camera module 1 in the first embodiment includes a bracket 121 and a filter 122 (not shown in the figure) mounted on the bracket 121, the image sensor assembly 13 includes a circuit board 131 and an image sensor 132 mounted on the circuit board 131, the circuit board 131 is connected with an electrical connector 1311, and the electrical connector 1311 is electrically connected with an external circuit. One side of the bracket 121 facing away from the lens 111 is attached to the circuit board 131, the bracket 121, the filter 122 and the circuit board 131 together enclose a closed space, and the image sensor 132 is located in the closed space, which is not described herein again.
Illustratively, referring to fig. 11, an encapsulation adhesive layer 160 is disposed between the support 121 and the circuit board 131, and the support 121 is attached to the circuit board 131 through the encapsulation adhesive layer 160. Alternatively, the bracket 121 may be further adhered to the circuit board 131 through a dispensing process, which is not limited in this embodiment.
Unlike the image pickup module 1 of the first embodiment, in the image pickup module 1 of the first embodiment, since the lens 111 is movably mounted in the housing 141 through the mounting hole 1411 of the housing 141 of the driving device 14, the lens 111 is not fixedly mounted on the housing 141, and a gap is usually formed between the lens 111 and the housing 141, a space formed between the lens 111 and a side surface of the bracket 121 facing the lens 111 is provided for air circulation, the space is communicated with the outside, and there is no air pressure difference. In contrast, the air hole 151 does not need to be provided in the housing 141 of the driving device 14.
Both the filter assembly 12 and the image sensor assembly 13 may be disposed in the housing 141 of the driving device 14, for example, the circuit board 131 of the image sensor assembly 13 is fixed on the inner wall of the housing 141, the filter assembly 12 is fixed on the circuit board 131, and the filter assembly 12 and the image sensor assembly 13 are fixed in the housing 141.
Alternatively, in the case where the cross-sectional size of the driving device 14 is small and the sizes of the filter assembly 12 and the image sensor assembly 13 are large, the filter assembly 12 and the image sensor assembly 13 may be connected outside the housing 141 of the driving device 14. For example, the bracket 121 of the filter assembly 12 is fixed on the outer surface of the case 141 facing away from the light incident surface of the lens 111, and the circuit board 131 of the image sensor assembly 13 is connected to the bracket 121. It is understood that a side surface of the housing 141 to which the holder 121 is connected is provided with a light-transmitting opening (not shown), and light emitted from the lens 111 passes through the light-transmitting opening of the housing 141 and irradiates the filter 122.
In practical applications, a sealing structure (not shown) is usually disposed in the housing 141 of the driving device 14, and the sealing structure seals the light exit surface of the lens 111 and the light entrance surface of the optical filter 122, so as to prevent the lens 111 and the optical filter 122 from being interfered by foreign objects such as dust, and ensure the optical performance of the camera module 1.
In addition, the lens 111 is usually placed on a carrying structure (not shown) by a fixing glue, and the carrying structure drives the lens 111 to move. Illustratively, a slight gap exists between the lens 111 and the fixing glue, so that the air pressure inside and outside the driving device 14 can be ensured to be balanced, and the focusing action of the lens 111 can be ensured.
Therefore, as shown in fig. 11, the air holes 151 may be formed in the holder 121 of the filter assembly 12. If the support frame 121 is located in the casing 141 of the driving device 14, the air holes 151 of the support frame 121 communicate with the external environment through the mounting holes 1411 of the casing 141 of the driving device 14. If the support 121 is connected to the outside of the casing 141 of the driving device 14, the air holes 151 on the support 121 may be located within the range covered by the light-transmitting opening on the casing 141, and the air holes 151 are communicated with the external environment through the mounting holes 1411 on the casing 141 of the driving device 14; alternatively, the airing holes 151 of the bracket 121 may be located at a portion of the bracket 121 exposed to the outside of the case 141 of the driving device 14.
