つぎにカメラモジュールの組立について説明する。
(1)撮像素子11や回路素子12〜14が実装された基板1の固着面15と、台座5の固着面55との少なくとも一方に接着剤60を塗布し、撮像素子11の受光面の中心軸と上側台座51の中心軸を一致させた状態で、接着剤60を介して固着面15と固着面55を密着させ、基板1上に台座5を載置する。この接着剤60は、熱硬化型、常温硬化型、光硬化型のいずれでもよい。
そして、接着剤60を硬化させることにより、基板1の固着面15のうちの、台座5の固着面55と対面する部分において両者を固着する接着層61を形成するとともに、この接着層61に連続する所定部分において両者を固着する接着フィレット62〜62、63を形成する。
接着フィレット62は、図1(b)に示すように、基板1の固着面15の異形部分16と下側台座52の外側壁の異形部分16に隣接する部分とを固着する。
接着フィレット63は、図1(a)に拡大して図示するように、基板1の固着面15の異形部分17と下側台座52の外側壁の異形部分17に隣接する部分とを固着する。
上述のように、接着層61と接着フィレット62〜62、63によって基板1と台座5を固着しているので、基板1の縦と横が約6mmで、下側台座52の側壁の板厚(すなわち固着面55の幅)が略0.3mmのような小型化のカメラモジュールにおいても所望の固着強度が得られる。例えば、台座5の成形時に固着面55に反りが生じて接着剤が付き難いような場合でも、接着フィレット62〜62,63によって所望の固着強度が得られる。
Next, assembly of the camera module will be described.
(1) The adhesive 60 is applied to at least one of the fixing surface 15 of the substrate 1 on which the imaging element 11 and the circuit elements 12 to 14 are mounted and the fixing surface 55 of the pedestal 5, and the center of the light receiving surface of the imaging element 11 is applied. With the shaft and the center axis of the upper pedestal 51 aligned with each other, the fixing surface 15 and the fixing surface 55 are brought into close contact with each other through the adhesive 60, and the pedestal 5 is placed on the substrate 1. The adhesive 60 may be any of a thermosetting type, a room temperature curing type, and a photocuring type.
Then, by curing the adhesive 60, an adhesive layer 61 that fixes both of the fixing surfaces 15 of the substrate 1 is formed at a portion facing the fixing surface 55 of the base 5, and the adhesive layer 61 is continuous with the adhesive layer 61. Adhesive fillets 62 to 62 and 63 are formed to fix the two at predetermined portions.
As shown in FIG. 1B, the adhesive fillet 62 fixes the deformed portion 16 of the fixing surface 15 of the substrate 1 and the portion adjacent to the deformed portion 16 of the outer wall of the lower pedestal 52.
The adhesion fillet 63 fixes the deformed portion 17 of the fixing surface 15 of the substrate 1 and the portion adjacent to the deformed portion 17 of the outer wall of the lower pedestal 52 as shown in an enlarged view in FIG.
As described above, since the substrate 1 and the pedestal 5 are fixed by the adhesive layer 61 and the adhesive fillets 62 to 62, 63, the length and width of the substrate 1 are about 6 mm, and the thickness of the side wall of the lower pedestal 52 ( That is, a desired fixing strength can be obtained even in a miniaturized camera module in which the width of the fixing surface 55 is approximately 0.3 mm. For example, even when the fixing surface 55 is warped when the pedestal 5 is molded and it is difficult to attach the adhesive, a desired fixing strength can be obtained by the adhesive fillets 62 to 62 and 63.

(2)ついで、図5(a)(b)に示すように、バレル2の係合段部28に環状弾性体4の係合部41を係合して環状弾性体4を保持した後、図8及び図1(a)に示すように、バレル2のオネジ部26を台座5のメネジ部53に螺合する。
このとき、レンズ25、25の中心軸が上側台座51の中心軸に一致し、環状弾性体4がバレル2の先端部と台座5のストッパー部56との間で押圧されて弾性変形した状態で、レンズ25、25の焦点距離が合うように、予めバレル2と台座5の形状が形成されるとともに、オネジ部26とメネジ部53のネジ数が設定されている。
このため、オネジ部26とメネジ部53の螺合量を調整してレンズ25、25の焦点を撮像素子11に合わせたときには、環状弾性体4が弾性変形した状態でバレル2の先端部と台座5のストッパー部56の間に介在し、その弾性力でオネジ部26とメネジ部53の摩擦力が補強され、バレル2と台座5の螺合による締め付け力を大きくして螺合部の隙間(遊び)によるレンズ25、25の焦点距離のずれを防止できる。
また、バレル2の先端部と台座5のストッパー部56の間に環状弾性体4を介在させるだけでよいので、圧接部材と板バネを介在させる従来例のように大型化するのを避けて小型化を図ることができる。
(2) Next, as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, after engaging the engaging portion 41 of the annular elastic body 4 with the engaging step portion 28 of the barrel 2 to hold the annular elastic body 4, As shown in FIGS. 8 and 1A, the male screw portion 26 of the barrel 2 is screwed into the female screw portion 53 of the base 5.
At this time, the center axis of the lenses 25, 25 coincides with the center axis of the upper pedestal 51, and the annular elastic body 4 is pressed between the distal end portion of the barrel 2 and the stopper portion 56 of the pedestal 5 and elastically deformed. The shapes of the barrel 2 and the pedestal 5 are previously formed so that the focal lengths of the lenses 25 and 25 are matched, and the number of screws of the male screw portion 26 and the female screw portion 53 is set.
For this reason, when the screwing amount of the male screw portion 26 and the female screw portion 53 is adjusted and the focus of the lenses 25 and 25 is adjusted to the image pickup device 11, the distal end portion and the base of the barrel 2 are elastically deformed. 5, the frictional force of the male screw portion 26 and the female screw portion 53 is reinforced by the elastic force, and the tightening force by the screwing of the barrel 2 and the base 5 is increased to increase the clearance ( It is possible to prevent the focal length of the lenses 25 and 25 from being shifted due to play.
Further, since it is only necessary to interpose the annular elastic body 4 between the front end portion of the barrel 2 and the stopper portion 56 of the pedestal 5, it is possible to avoid the increase in size as in the conventional example in which the pressure contact member and the leaf spring are interposed. Can be achieved.

(3)ついで、バレル2の凹部31〜31に光硬化型接着剤30を注入し、図1(a)に示すようにバレル2と台座5を固着する。
このとき、光硬化型接着剤30はバレル2と台座5の螺合部に侵入しない程度の高い粘度を有しているので、光硬化型接着剤30が凹部31からオネジ部26とメネジ部53のネジの隙間に浸入して未硬化となることがなく、紫外線又は可視光によって短時間(例えば10秒後)に光硬化型接着剤30を硬化してバレル2と台座5を固着できる。
(3) Next, the photocurable adhesive 30 is injected into the recesses 31 to 31 of the barrel 2, and the barrel 2 and the pedestal 5 are fixed as shown in FIG.
At this time, the photocurable adhesive 30 has such a high viscosity that it does not enter the threaded portion of the barrel 2 and the pedestal 5, so that the photocurable adhesive 30 passes from the recessed portion 31 to the male screw portion 26 and the female screw portion 53. The barrel 2 and the pedestal 5 can be fixed by curing the photocurable adhesive 30 in a short time (for example, after 10 seconds) with ultraviolet rays or visible light.

この場合、凹部なしで第1、第2支持部材の螺合部に外来光を当てることができるので、凹部の形成を省略し、螺合部に光硬化型接着剤を注入して短時間に第1支持部材と第2支持部材を固着できる。
In the embodiment, the case where the first and second support members are formed of a material that does not transmit light (for example, synthetic resin) has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the first and second support members are not limited thereto. It is also possible to use a case where at least one of these is formed of a light transmission type material.
In this case, extraneous light can be applied to the threaded portions of the first and second support members without the recess, so that the formation of the recess is omitted and a photocurable adhesive is injected into the threaded portion in a short time. The first support member and the second support member can be fixed.
