The technical solution of the present invention will be further described with reference to the following embodiments and the accompanying drawings.

Referring to fig. 1 to fig. 3, a first aspect of the present embodiment provides an image capturing apparatus 100, where the image capturing apparatus 100 includes a fixing bracket 1 and an image capturing module 2, the fixing bracket 1 has a first mounting surface 10, a first connecting structure 11 is disposed on the first mounting surface 10, the image capturing module 2 is connected to the fixing bracket 1 through the first connecting structure 11, the image capturing module 2 has a first surface 20 facing the first mounting surface 10, and a distance t is provided between the first surface 20 and the first mounting surface 10.

When the camera module 2 is connected to the fixing bracket 1 through the first connecting structure 11, the first surface 20 and the first mounting surface 10 have a distance t therebetween. When the camera module 2 is not connected with the first connecting structure 11, because the existence of the above-mentioned interval t, the camera module 2 and the fixed support 1 are in a relatively suspended state, and the fixed support 1 does not influence the position adjustment of the camera module 2 at this moment, so that the position, the optical axis direction and the like of the camera module 2 can be freely adjusted. That is, the existence of this interval t is favorable to adjusting the position of the camera module 2 to the position that satisfies the assembly requirement to improve the assembly accuracy of the camera module 2 and the fixed bolster 1, and can improve the imaging quality of the camera device 100.

Meanwhile, compared with a connection mode that the camera module 2 is connected or adhered to the first installation surface 10 through bolts, the distance t can avoid the situation that the optical axis of the camera module 2 deviates after the camera module is attached and connected due to insufficient surface flatness of the first surface 20 or the first installation surface 10 when the first surface 20 and the first installation surface 10 are in direct contact. Therefore, the above-mentioned distance t can reduce the requirement for the surface flatness of the first surface 20 and the first mounting surface 10, thereby reducing the processing requirement of the imaging device and realizing high-precision assembly. In addition, since the first surface 20 and the first mounting surface 10 have the distance t therebetween, the first surface 20 can be in direct contact with air, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the first surface 20. It is understood that the size of the distance t may be adjusted according to actual situations, and is not limited in this embodiment.

In addition, the distance t is a position adjustment space provided for the camera module 2 and actively reserved for improving the assembly precision between the camera module 2 and the fixing bracket 1 when the camera module 2 and the fixing bracket 1 are assembled. And this distance t still exists after connecting the camera module 2 with the first connecting structure 11 of the fixed bracket 1.

There are many ways of arranging the first connecting structure 11 capable of fixedly connecting the camera module 2 and the fixing bracket 1 while providing a distance t between the first surface 20 and the first mounting surface 10, and two ways of arranging the first connecting structure 11 are provided in this embodiment, which will be separately described below with reference to the drawings.

In some embodiments, the first connecting structure 11 is a mounting hole, and the fixing bracket 1 further includes a second mounting surface 12 opposite to the first mounting surface 10, where the mounting hole penetrates from the first mounting surface 10 to the second mounting surface 12; the first surface 20 of the camera module 2 is provided with a first protruding portion 21 facing the first mounting surface 10, and the first protruding portion 21 is at least partially inserted into the mounting hole of the fixing bracket 1 and connected to the side wall surface 11a of the mounting hole. When the first protruding portion 21 is connected to the sidewall surface 11a of the mounting hole, the distance t between the first surface 20 and the first mounting surface 10 can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the first protruding portion 21 relative to the mounting hole, so as to provide a sufficient adjustment space for adjusting the position of the camera module 2 relative to the fixing bracket 1.

It can be seen that, when the first connecting structure 11 is a mounting hole, the connecting position of the camera module 2 and the mounting hole adopts the mounting position of the side wall surface 11a, so that the space of the camera module 2 which can be adjusted along the optical axis direction of the camera module is larger, and the distance t can be in a proper range. And before the camera module 2 is connected with the side wall surface 11a, a certain gap is formed between the camera module 2 and the side wall surface, and the position of the first surface 20 can be adjusted by the camera module 2, so that the optical axis of the camera module 2 is aligned towards the preset direction, and the high-precision assembly of the camera module 2 and the fixing support 1 is realized.

Further, since the first protruding portion 21 and the side wall surface 11a of the mounting hole can be connected by bonding or soldering, in order to fill adhesive or solder between the first protruding portion 21 and the side wall surface 11a, the side wall surface 11a of the mounting hole may be provided as an inclined surface so that the opening of the mounting hole is gradually enlarged in the direction from the first mounting surface 10 to the second mounting surface 12, thereby providing a filling space 11b for the adhesive or solder. That is, when the first projecting portion 21 and the side wall surface 11a are connected, the adhesive or solder may be filled from the side of the second mounting surface 12 so that the adhesive or solder is filled into the filling space 11b under the guidance of the inclined surface, thereby realizing the connection between the first projecting portion 21 and the side wall surface 11 a.

Specifically, the cross-sectional shape of the inclined surface may be a straight line or a curved line, such as an upper chord parabola or a lower chord parabola, as long as the opening of the mounting hole can be gradually increased from the first mounting surface 10 to the second mounting surface 12, and the cross-sectional shape of the inclined surface is not particularly limited in this embodiment.

In some embodiments, the first protruding portion 21 may be a protrusion protruding from the first surface 20 toward the first mounting surface 10, and a projection of the protrusion on the first mounting surface 10 is located in a position of the mounting hole, so that the first protruding portion 21 is disposed through the mounting hole. When the distance t between the first surface 20 and the first mounting surface 10 is adjusted to a required distance, the side surface of the projection connected with the first surface 20 is connected with the side wall surface 11a of the mounting hole, so that the camera module 2 is fixedly connected with the fixed bracket 1.

Alternatively, the first protruding portion 21 may also be a strip-shaped protrusion disposed near the edge of the first surface 20, and when the first protruding portion 21 is a bump structure, the coverage area of the strip-shaped protrusion on the first surface 20 is smaller, that is, the area of the first surface 20 in direct contact with air is larger. Simultaneously because the module 2 of making a video recording can produce the heat in the use, the area that first surface 20 and air contact is bigger, and the radiating effect of first surface 20 is better, and the radiating effect of the protruding radiating effect of bar promptly will be superior to the radiating effect of lug.

In addition, when the protruding setting of bar was in the border position of first surface 20, because the protruding part of bar will wear to locate the mounting hole, the protruding projection of bar on first installation face 10 needs in the position at mounting hole place, and the protruding position of bar is close to the border position that is close to first surface 20 more, the opening of mounting hole will increase correspondingly, first surface 20 is just bigger corresponding to the area of mounting hole this moment, more be favorable to the heat dissipation of first surface 20, can further improve camera module 2's radiating effect.

Since the camera module 2 is generally provided with an image sensor and the like, the position of the image sensor affects the imaging quality of the camera module 2. Therefore, when assembling the image pickup module 2 and the fixed bracket 1, it is necessary to confirm whether or not the position of the structure such as the image sensor is correct in addition to the adjustment of the optical axis direction of the image pickup module 2. However, the image sensor is usually disposed inside the housing of the camera module 2, and the direction of the image sensor is not easily recognized from the outside.

Referring to fig. 4, in order to solve the problem that the internal structure of the camera module 2 is not easily recognized, since the first protrusion 21 is disposed on the outer side of the camera module 2, a reference can be formed on the structural position inside the camera module 2 through the first protrusion 21, thereby preventing the camera module 2 from being installed incorrectly. Specifically, in the present embodiment, taking the structure in which the first protruding portion 21 is a strip-shaped protrusion as an example, the first protruding portion 21 includes a connecting portion 211 connected to the side wall surface 11a of the mounting hole and a fool-proof portion 212 for indicating the internal structure position of the camera module 2; correspondingly, the first mounting surface 10 is provided with a fool-proof notch 13, and the fool-proof notch 13 is communicated with the mounting hole. When assembling the camera module 2 with the fixing bracket 1, the fool-proof part 212 is penetrated through the fool-proof notch 13 to prevent the installation error of the camera module 2, thereby improving the assembly precision of the camera device 100 and further improving the imaging quality of the camera device 100.

Optionally, foretell prevent slow-witted structure also can set up in the other positions of making a video recording module 2, prevent that slow-witted breach 13 also can adjust corresponding to the prevent slow-witted structure of making a video recording on the module 2, and the above-mentioned setting mode that directly utilizes first bellying 21 to set up prevents slow-witted part 212 can simplify the structural design of making a video recording module 2 and fixed bolster 1, both can realize being connected with fixed bolster 1 through first bellying 21, can realize preventing slow-witted effect again, thereby simplify the structure of the module 2 of making a video recording, improve the processing feasibility of the module 2 of making a video recording.

In other embodiments, referring to fig. 5, the first connecting structure 11 may be protruded on the first mounting surface 10, and an installation space 14 is formed between the first connecting structure 11 and the first mounting surface 10, in which the first connecting structure 11 is connected to an outer peripheral surface 22 of the camera module 2, and an end of the camera module 2 having the first surface 20 is located in the installation space 14. During assembly, a distance t needs to be provided between the first surface 20 and the first mounting surface 10 so as to adjust the position of the camera module 2, and at this time, when the camera module 2 is adjusted to a proper position, the outer peripheral surface 22 of the camera module 2 is connected with the first connecting structure 11, so that the camera module 2 and the fixing bracket 1 are assembled.

For example, the first connecting structure 11 may be a boss 111, an installation space 14 is formed between the boss 111 and the first installation surface 10, the boss 111 and the outer peripheral surface 22 of the camera module 2 are spaced apart, an extending portion 112 is disposed on a side of the boss 111 facing the camera module 2, and when the camera module 2 is adjusted to a proper position, the outer peripheral surface 22 of the camera module 2 and the extending portion 112 may be connected, so as to assemble the camera module 2 and the fixing bracket 1. Alternatively, the first connecting structure 11 may be a frame structure, so that the first connecting structure 11 may enclose an installation space for the camera module 2 to be installed.

Wherein, boss 111 can be for the continuous annular boss that encircles the outer peripheral face setting of making a video recording module 2, also can be a plurality of column bosss of discontinuity, the utility model discloses do not specifically limit to this.

It can be seen that, as long as the distance t between the first surface 20 of the camera module 2 and the first mounting surface 10 can be formed, and the connection with the camera module 2 can be realized, the specific arrangement manner of the first connecting structure 11 is not particularly limited in this embodiment.

The first connecting structure 11 will be described as an example of a mounting hole.

Referring to fig. 6, in some embodiments, in order to protect the camera module 2 mounted on the fixing bracket 1, the fixing bracket 1 includes a main body portion 15 and a peripheral portion 16, the main body portion 15 has a first mounting surface 10, the peripheral portion 16 is located at an outer periphery of the first connecting structure 11, and an accommodating space 160 for accommodating the camera module 2 is formed between the peripheral portion 16 and the first mounting surface 10. Because this peripheral portion 16 encloses the periphery that closes in the mounting hole, encloses the periphery that closes in module 2 of making a video recording promptly to can realize the protection to module 2 of making a video recording, prevent that external impact direct action from making a video recording module 2, and lead to making a video recording module 2 to damage or the condition of making a video recording module 2 and first connection structure 11 connection failure. In addition, since the peripheral portion 16 is protruded on the first mounting surface 10, the peripheral portion 16 can be regarded as a support structure on the first mounting surface 10, and the structure of the fixing bracket 1 can be reinforced.

For example, as shown in fig. 6, the main body 15 and the peripheral portion 16 may be provided separately, and the peripheral portion 16 may be a plurality of baffles connected to the first mounting surface 10, and the plurality of baffles are connected to each other to form an accommodating space 160 for accommodating and protecting the camera module 2. The plurality of baffles may be attached to the first mounting surface 10 of the body portion 15 by bonding or welding. Alternatively, as shown in fig. 2, the main body portion 15 and the peripheral portion 16 may be formed by integral molding (e.g., injection molding), so as to form an accommodating space 160 for accommodating and protecting the camera module 2. It can be seen that the peripheral portion 16 is provided to protect the camera module 2 mounted on the fixing bracket 1, and the arrangement of the structure does not affect the assembly precision of the camera module 2 and the fixing bracket 1, so that in some embodiments, the fixing bracket 1 may only be provided with the main body portion 15, and thus, the camera module 2 and the fixing bracket 1 may be connected with each other with high precision. Whether or not the peripheral portion 16 is provided and the specific formation manner thereof may be adjusted according to actual needs, and is not limited in this embodiment.

In some embodiments, since the peripheral portion 16 may have a certain effect on the heat dissipation of the image pickup module 2, the heat dissipation ribs 17 may be disposed on the periphery of the peripheral portion 16 and/or the main body portion 15, that is, the heat dissipation ribs 17 may be disposed on the periphery of the main body portion 15, the periphery of the peripheral portion 16, or the peripheries of the main body portion 15 and the peripheral portion 16.

Specifically, the heat dissipating ribs 17 may be provided on the entire outer periphery of the outer peripheral portion 16, or may be provided on a partial side surface of the outer periphery of the outer peripheral portion 16. Meanwhile, the length of the heat dissipation rib 17 can be adjusted according to the working condition of the camera module 2, and the longer the heat dissipation rib 17 is, the better the heat dissipation effect is; and the lengths of the plurality of heat dissipation ribs 17 may be the same, or the length of the heat dissipation rib 17 at the position may be extended at a place where the heat is high, so as to improve the heat dissipation effect at the position. In summary, the specific arrangement manner of the heat dissipating ribs 17 can be adjusted according to actual needs, and is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

Referring to fig. 7 to 9, in the related art, as the requirement for the imaging of the camera device 100 is higher and higher, a plurality of camera modules 2 may be disposed in the accommodating space 160, and the camera modules 2 may be camera modules 2 with different camera functions, so as to meet the imaging requirement of the user on the camera device 100.
