More specifically, the camera main body shielding plate 2810 is attached to the camera main body 28, and the side surface portion 2810B of the camera main body shielding plate 2810 is located on the long side surface 2806 of the camera main body 28. In the embodiment, the bent portion 4002 does not directly contact the long-side side surface 2806 of the camera body 28 but contacts the side surface portion 2810B of the camera body shielding plate 2810. In other words, the bent portion 4002 does not contact the camera body shielding plate 2810. It is indirectly in contact with the long side surface 2806 of the camera body 28 via the side surface 2810B. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the elastic body 40 of the long side shielding plate 46 abuts on the side surface portion 2810B of the camera body shielding plate 2810 so that the camera body shielding plate 2810 is interposed via the long side shielding plate 46. It will be grounded.
Further, as shown in FIG. 9 which is a C arrow view of FIG. 5, both ends in the extending direction of each socket shielding plate 38 are overlapped with each other at the four corners of the socket body 36 and are electrically connected. Thus, the entire circumference of the side surface of the socket body 36 is electromagnetically shielded by the four socket shielding plates 38. More specifically, for example, a bent plate portion 3810 is formed at one end portion of the socket shielding plates 38 adjacent to each other, and this bent plate portion 3810 is the other end portion 3811 of the socket shield plates 38 adjacent to each other. The bent plate portion 3810 and the end portion 3811 are always urged in the direction in which they are in contact with each other due to the elasticity of the socket shielding plate 38.

図７に示すように、係合部６８は、カメラモジュール２２が底壁３６０２上で４つの側壁３６０４の内側に収容された際に、カメラモジュール２２の部分に係合しカメラモジュール２２がソケット２４の底壁３６０２から離れる方向への移動を阻止するものであり、カメラモジュール２２が底壁３６０２上で４つの側壁３６０４の内側に収容され、係合部６８がカメラモジュール２２の部分に係合することで、ソケット２４へのカメラモジュール２２の装着状態が形成される。

係合部６８はソケット本体３６に設けられ、本実施の形態では、係合部６８は、短辺側側壁３６０８に取着された遮蔽板３８の弾性片４０の屈曲部４００２により形成され、カメラモジュール２２をソケット２４の内側に挿入した際に、この屈曲部４００２がカメラ本体２８の短辺側側面２８０８の凸部２８２０に係止することで、カメラモジュール２２のソケット２４の底壁３６０２から離れる方向への移動が阻止される。 As shown in FIG. 7, when the camera module 22 is housed inside the four side walls 3604 on the bottom wall 3602, the engaging portion 68 engages with the camera module 22 and the camera module 22 is connected to the socket 24. The camera module 22 is housed inside the four side walls 3604 on the bottom wall 3602, and the engaging portion 68 engages with the camera module 22 portion. Thus, the mounting state of the camera module 22 in the socket 24 is formed.
In the mounted state of the camera module 22, the plurality of connection terminals 42 are elastically deformed to be electrically connected to the plurality of contact pieces 32 of the substrate 30 and urge the camera module 22 toward the upper surface 2802 of the camera body 28. As a result, the contact piece 32 of the substrate 30 and the connection terminal 42 are always reliably contacted with the clearance S2 secured between the substrate 30 of the camera module 22 and the bottom wall 3602 of the socket 24.
The engaging portion 68 is provided on the socket body 36. In the present embodiment, the engaging portion 68 is formed by a bent portion 4002 of the elastic piece 40 of the shielding plate 38 attached to the short side wall 3608, and When the module 22 is inserted into the socket 24, the bent portion 4002 is engaged with the convex portion 2820 of the short side surface 2808 of the camera body 28, thereby separating from the bottom wall 3602 of the socket 24 of the camera module 22. Movement in the direction is prevented.

また、図５、図７に示すように、ソケット本体３６の短辺側側壁３６０８には、カバー２６の部分に当接してカバー２６のカメラ本体２８の上面２８０２方向への変位を阻止するストッパ６２が設けられている。
本実施の形態では、ストッパ６２は、各短辺側遮蔽板４８の外面にその延在方向に間隔をおいて突出形成された２つの係止凸部４８０２によって構成されている。
また、本実施の形態では、図５に示すように、ソケット本体３６の長辺側側壁３６０６には、カバー２６に係脱可能に係合しカメラ本体２８の厚さ方向におけるソケット２４に対するカバー２６の位置決めを行なう位置決め用係合部６４が設けられている。
また、本実施の形態では、位置決め用係合部６４は、２つの長辺側遮蔽板４６の外面に、長辺側遮蔽板４６の延在方向に間隔をおいて形成された２つの係合凹部６４０２によって構成されている。 Further, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 7, a stopper 62 that prevents the cover 26 from being displaced in the direction of the upper surface 2802 of the camera body 28 by contacting the portion of the cover 26 on the short side wall 3608 of the socket body 36. Is provided.
In the present embodiment, the stopper 62 is composed of two locking projections 4802 that are formed on the outer surface of each short-side shielding plate 48 so as to protrude in the extending direction.
Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the long side wall 3606 of the socket body 36 is detachably engaged with the cover 26 and the cover 26 with respect to the socket 24 in the thickness direction of the camera body 28. A positioning engagement portion 64 is provided for performing positioning.
Further, in the present embodiment, the positioning engaging portion 64 has two engagements formed on the outer surfaces of the two long side shielding plates 46 at intervals in the extending direction of the long side shielding plate 46. A recess 6402 is formed.

カバー２６は、電磁遮蔽性および弾性を有する材料で形成されている。電磁遮蔽性および弾性を有する材料としては、りん青銅、洋白、ブリキ、銅、あるいは、りん青銅などの銅合金にニッケルなどのめっき処理を行ったもの、あるいは、ステンレス鋼（例えばＳＵＳ３０４）などの導電性を有しかつ磁性を有さない材料を用いることができる。なお、上記電磁遮蔽性を有する材料として磁性体を用いれば、電磁遮蔽効果に加えて磁束シールド効果を奏することができる。
図５、図７に示すように、カバー２６は、上面部５０と、側面部５２とを備えている。
上面部５０は、カメラ本体２８の上面２８０２を覆うものであり、側面部５２は、４つのソケット用遮蔽板３８を覆うものである。
上面部５０が撮影光学系３４に臨む箇所に開口５００２が形成され、開口５００２に透明なレンズカバー５８が設けられている。
詳細に説明すると、レンズカバー５８は円板状を呈し、円環状の両面粘着テープ５８０２を介して上面部５０の外面に接着されている。
また、上面部５０の内面には、開口５００２の周囲に沿って延在する弾性材料からなる円環状の防塵用部材６０が設けられている。防塵用部材６０は円環状の両面粘着テープ６００２を介して上面部５０の内面に接着されている。防塵用部材６０を構成する弾性材料としては、発泡ポリウレタンなどのスポンジ状の材料を用いることができる。 The cover 26 is formed of a material having electromagnetic shielding properties and elasticity. Examples of the material having electromagnetic shielding properties and elasticity include phosphor bronze, white, tin, copper, or a copper alloy such as phosphor bronze plated with nickel, or stainless steel (for example, SUS304). A material that has conductivity and does not have magnetism can be used. In addition, if a magnetic body is used as the material having electromagnetic shielding properties, a magnetic flux shielding effect can be achieved in addition to the electromagnetic shielding effect.
As shown in FIGS. 5 and 7, the cover 26 includes an upper surface portion 50 and a side surface portion 52.
The upper surface portion 50 covers the upper surface 2802 of the camera body 28, and the side surface portion 52 covers the four socket shielding plates 38.
An opening 5002 is formed at a position where the upper surface portion 50 faces the photographing optical system 34, and a transparent lens cover 58 is provided in the opening 5002.
More specifically, the lens cover 58 has a disk shape and is bonded to the outer surface of the upper surface portion 50 via an annular double-sided adhesive tape 5802.
An annular dustproof member 60 made of an elastic material extending along the periphery of the opening 5002 is provided on the inner surface of the upper surface portion 50. The dustproof member 60 is bonded to the inner surface of the upper surface portion 50 via an annular double-sided adhesive tape 6002. As the elastic material constituting the dustproof member 60, a sponge-like material such as foamed polyurethane can be used.

図５に示すように、側面部５２は、ソケット２４の２つの長辺側遮蔽板４６を覆う長辺側側面部５４と、ソケット２４の２つの短辺側遮蔽板４８を覆う短辺側側面部５６とを備えている。
そして、カバー２６の短辺側側面部５６の下縁が遮蔽板３８の係止凸部４８０２に係止することでカバー２６のカメラ本体２８の上面２８０２方向への変位が阻止される。
また、ソケット２４の係合凹部６４０２に対応するカバー２６の長辺側側面部５４の内側箇所に係合凹部６４０２と係脱する係合凸部５４０２が設けられ、それら係合凸部５４０２が係合凹部６４０２に係合することでカメラ本体２８の厚さ方向におけるカバー２６の位置決めがなされる。
このようにカバー２６の側面部５２とソケット本体３６の側壁３８とに、互いに係脱可能に係合し、カメラ本体２８の厚さ方向におけるソケット２４に対するカバー２６の位置決めを行なう係合凹部６４０２、係合凸部５４０２を設けることで、カバー２６のソケット２４からの脱落を防止する上で有利となり、撮像装置２０を単体で取り扱う際の作業性の向上、あるいは、撮像装置１０を電子機器１０に組み込む際の作業性の向上を図る上で有利となっている。
本実施の形態では、カメラモジュール２２が装着されたソケット２４にカバー２６が装着された状態で係合凸部５４０２と係合凹部６４０２とが係合し、同時に、カバー２６の短辺側側面部５６の下縁が遮蔽板３８の係止凸部４８０２に係止する。 As shown in FIG. 5, the side surface 52 has a long side surface 54 that covers the two long side shielding plates 46 of the socket 24 and a short side surface that covers the two short side shielding plates 48 of the socket 24. Part 56.
Then, the lower edge of the short side surface portion 56 of the cover 26 is engaged with the engagement convex portion 4802 of the shielding plate 38, so that the displacement of the cover 26 in the direction of the upper surface 2802 of the camera body 28 is prevented.
Further, an engagement convex portion 5402 that engages with and disengages from the engagement concave portion 6402 is provided at an inner portion of the long side surface portion 54 of the cover 26 corresponding to the engagement concave portion 6402 of the socket 24, and the engagement convex portion 5402 is engaged. The cover 26 is positioned in the thickness direction of the camera body 28 by engaging with the mating recess 6402.
In this way, the engaging recess 6402 that engages the side surface portion 52 of the cover 26 and the side wall 38 of the socket body 36 so as to be detachable and positions the cover 26 with respect to the socket 24 in the thickness direction of the camera body 28. Providing the engagement convex portion 5402 is advantageous in preventing the cover 26 from falling off the socket 24, improving workability when handling the imaging device 20 alone, or providing the imaging device 10 with the electronic device 10. This is advantageous in improving the workability during installation.
In the present embodiment, the engagement convex portion 5402 and the engagement concave portion 6402 engage with each other in a state where the cover 26 is attached to the socket 24 to which the camera module 22 is attached. The lower edge of 56 is locked to the locking projection 4802 of the shielding plate 38.

撮像装置２０の組み立ては、電子機器１０の基板に実装されたソケット２４にカメラモジュール２２を装着し、その上からカバー２６をソケット２４に装着することでなされ、これにより撮像装置２０が完成する。
そして、このように構成された撮像装置２０は、図１（Ａ）に示すように、電子機器１０の第１の筐体１４に設けられた開口１４１０に、レンズカバー５８を臨ませた状態で第１の筐体１４内部に組み込まれる。 The imaging device 20 is assembled by attaching the camera module 22 to the socket 24 mounted on the substrate of the electronic device 10 and attaching the cover 26 to the socket 24 from above, thereby completing the imaging device 20.
The imaging device 20 configured as described above has the lens cover 58 facing the opening 1410 provided in the first housing 14 of the electronic device 10 as illustrated in FIG. It is incorporated in the first housing 14.

以上の構成を有すると次のような効果が奏される。
撮像装置２０のカバー２６にレンズカバー５８を設けているため、電子機器１０にレンズカバーを組み付ける必要がなく、電子機器１０の組み立て作業の簡素化を図る上で有利であることは無論のこと、カバー２６がストッパ６２を介してソケット２４に係止されているため、レンズカバー５８にカメラ本体２８の上面２８０２に向かう方向への外力が直接加わったとしても、その外力は、カバー２６、ストッパ６２を介してソケット２４に作用し、カメラモジュール２２には作用しないため、撮像装置２０への外力の影響を緩和する上で有利となる。
そのため、外力がカメラモジュール２２のカメラ本体２８を介して撮像素子２９や基板に加わって、撮像素子２９が変形して撮像された画像が歪んだり、あるいは、基板に実装された電子部品に機械的なストレスが加わることを効果的に防止する上で有利となる。
また、カメラモジュール２２が弾性片４０と接続端子４２によって弾性支持されているため、電子機器１０が物にぶつかったり、あるいは、電子機器１０が床の上に落下するなどして大きな衝撃や振動が電子機器１０に組み込まれた撮像装置２０に作用したとしても、その衝撃や振動は弾性片４０と接続端子４２によって緩和されてカメラモジュール２２に伝わるため、衝撃や振動に対する撮像装置２０の耐久性の向上を図る上で有利となる。 With the above configuration, the following effects are achieved.
Since the lens cover 58 is provided on the cover 26 of the imaging device 20, there is no need to attach the lens cover to the electronic device 10, and it is of course advantageous for simplifying the assembly work of the electronic device 10. Since the cover 26 is locked to the socket 24 via the stopper 62, even if an external force in the direction toward the upper surface 2802 of the camera body 28 is directly applied to the lens cover 58, the external force is applied to the cover 26 and the stopper 62. It acts on the socket 24 via the, and does not act on the camera module 22, which is advantageous in reducing the influence of external force on the imaging device 20.
Therefore, an external force is applied to the image sensor 29 and the substrate via the camera body 28 of the camera module 22, and the image captured by the image sensor 29 is deformed, or mechanically applied to an electronic component mounted on the substrate. This is advantageous in effectively preventing the application of excessive stress.
In addition, since the camera module 22 is elastically supported by the elastic piece 40 and the connection terminal 42, the electronic device 10 hits an object, or the electronic device 10 falls on the floor, so that a large impact or vibration occurs. Even if it acts on the imaging device 20 incorporated in the electronic device 10, the impact and vibration are alleviated by the elastic piece 40 and the connection terminal 42 and transmitted to the camera module 22, so that the durability of the imaging device 20 against the impact and vibration is improved. This is advantageous for improvement.

また、本実施の形態では、カメラモジュール２２のカメラ本体用遮蔽板２８１０と、カバー２６の長辺側側面部５４、短辺側側面部５６と、ソケット２４の長辺側遮蔽板４６、短辺側遮蔽板４８とが互いに重ね合わされて接触することで電気的に導通し、カメラ本体用遮蔽板２８１０およびカバー２６がソケット２４のソケット用遮蔽板３８を介して接地される。
したがって、カメラモジュール２２は、互いに重ね合わされたカメラ本体用遮蔽板２８１０と、ソケット用遮蔽板３８と、カバー２６とによって電磁遮蔽されることになり、カメラ本体２８内部の撮像素子２９および信号処理部と、撮像装置２０の近傍に配置された電子機器１０の電子回路との間の電磁遮蔽を確実に行うことができ、カメラ本体２８内部の撮像素子２９および信号処理部と、前記電子回路との双方の電磁輻射を効果的に抑制できる。そのため、電磁輻射による悪影響の防止を図りつつ、撮像装置２０と前記電子回路とを近接して配置することができ、電子機器の小型化、薄型化、コンパクト化を図る上で有利となる。
特に、カメラモジュール２２の内部に設けられた撮像素子２９の後段に接続される信号処理部では高周波クロックを用いていることから高周波クロックノイズの輻射が懸念されるが、その電磁波の輻射を、互いに重なるカメラ本体用遮蔽板２８１０と、ソケット用遮蔽板３８と、カバー２６とを用いて効果的に抑制することができる。
また、カメラモジュール２２の内部に、撮影光学系３４を構成するレンズの一部をフォーカシング動作あるいはズーミング動作のために光軸方向に移動させるためのアクチュエータが組み込まれ、そのアクチュエータが電磁波を輻射するものであっても、その電磁波の輻射を、互いに重なるカメラ本体用遮蔽板２８１０と、ソケット用遮蔽板３８と、カバー２６とを用いて効果的に抑制することができる。
また、電子機器１０が携帯電話機のように、限られたスペースにスピーカー、アンテナ、液晶表示パネル１４０２などの電子部品が高密度に実装されている場合には、それら電子部品とカメラモジュール２２との間における相互の電磁妨害（EMI: Electro Magnetic Interference）が懸念されるが、本実施の形態のようにカメラ本体用遮蔽板２８１０と、ソケット用遮蔽板３８と、カバー２６とを設けることによって電磁妨害を効果的に抑制することができ、携帯電話機のように電子部品が高密度に実装されている電子機器に撮像装置２０を組み込む場合に特に有利となる。
また、本実施の形態では、図７に示すように、カバー２６がソケット２４に装着された状態で、カバー２６の防塵用部材６０がカバー２６の上面部５０とカメラ本体２８の上面２８０２との間の隙間が閉塞されることで撮影光学系３４の前部とレンズカバー５８との間が密閉されており、したがって、カバー２６とカメラ本体２８との間の隙間から撮影光学系３４の前部に対して塵埃や汚れが侵入することを確実に防止することができる。 Further, in the present embodiment, the camera body shielding plate 2810 of the camera module 22, the long side surface portion 54 and the short side surface portion 56 of the cover 26, the long side shielding plate 46 and the short side of the socket 24. The side shielding plate 48 is overlapped with each other to be electrically connected to each other, and the camera body shielding plate 2810 and the cover 26 are grounded via the socket shielding plate 38 of the socket 24.
Therefore, the camera module 22 is electromagnetically shielded by the camera body shielding plate 2810, the socket shielding plate 38, and the cover 26 that are superposed on each other. And the electronic circuit of the electronic device 10 arranged in the vicinity of the imaging device 20 can be reliably performed, and the imaging element 29 and the signal processing unit inside the camera body 28 and the electronic circuit Both electromagnetic radiations can be effectively suppressed. For this reason, the imaging device 20 and the electronic circuit can be arranged close to each other while preventing adverse effects due to electromagnetic radiation, which is advantageous in reducing the size, thickness, and size of electronic devices.
In particular, since the signal processing unit connected to the rear stage of the image sensor 29 provided in the camera module 22 uses a high frequency clock, there is a concern about the radiation of the high frequency clock noise. The overlapping camera body shielding plate 2810, socket shielding plate 38, and cover 26 can be effectively suppressed.
In addition, an actuator for moving a part of a lens constituting the photographing optical system 34 in the optical axis direction for focusing operation or zooming operation is incorporated in the camera module 22, and the actuator radiates electromagnetic waves. Even so, the radiation of the electromagnetic waves can be effectively suppressed by using the camera body shielding plate 2810, the socket shielding plate 38, and the cover 26 that overlap each other.
When electronic parts such as speakers, antennas, and liquid crystal display panel 1402 are mounted at a high density in a limited space, such as a mobile phone, the electronic equipment 10 and the camera module 22 There is concern about mutual electromagnetic interference (EMI: Electro Magnetic Interference), but by providing the camera body shielding plate 2810, the socket shielding plate 38, and the cover 26 as in the present embodiment, electromagnetic interference is provided. This is particularly advantageous when the imaging device 20 is incorporated into an electronic device in which electronic components are mounted at a high density, such as a mobile phone.
In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, the dust-proof member 60 of the cover 26 is connected to the upper surface portion 50 of the cover 26 and the upper surface 2802 of the camera body 28 with the cover 26 mounted in the socket 24. By closing the gap between the front portion of the photographic optical system 34 and the lens cover 58, the front portion of the photographic optical system 34 is sealed from the gap between the cover 26 and the camera body 28. On the other hand, it is possible to reliably prevent dust and dirt from entering.

次に第２の実施の形態について説明する。
第２の実施の形態は、ストッパ６２の構成が第１の実施の形態と異なっており、それ以外の構成は第１の実施の形態と同様である。
図１０は第２の実施の形態の撮像装置２０の断面図である。なお、以下の実施の形態では第１の実施の形態と同様の部分、部材には同一の符号を付して説明する。
第１の実施の形態では、ストッパ６２を各短辺側遮蔽板４８の外面にその延在方向に間隔をおいて突出形成された２つの係止凸部４８０２によって構成したが、第２の実施の形態では、各短辺側遮蔽板４８の上端の屈曲部４００１により構成した点が第１の実施の形態と異なっており、その他の構成は第１の実施の形態と同様である。
第２の実施の形態では、図１０に示すように、カバー２６の短辺側側面部５６に、屈曲部４００１に係止する係止部５６１０が形成され、屈曲部４００１と係止部５６１０が係止することでカバー２６のカメラ本体２８の上面２８０２方向への変位が阻止される。
このような第２の実施の形態においても前記と同様の効果が奏されることは無論である。 Next, a second embodiment will be described.
In the second embodiment, the configuration of the stopper 62 is different from that of the first embodiment, and other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment.
FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view of the imaging apparatus 20 according to the second embodiment. In the following embodiment, the same parts and members as those in the first embodiment will be described with the same reference numerals.
In the first embodiment, the stopper 62 is configured by the two engaging projections 4802 that are formed on the outer surface of each short side shielding plate 48 so as to protrude in the extending direction. This embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that it is configured by the bent portion 4001 at the upper end of each short-side shielding plate 48, and the other configurations are the same as those in the first embodiment.
In the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, an engaging portion 5610 that engages with the bent portion 4001 is formed on the short side surface portion 56 of the cover 26, and the bent portion 4001 and the engaging portion 5610 are provided. By locking, the displacement of the cover 26 in the direction of the upper surface 2802 of the camera body 28 is prevented.
It goes without saying that the same effect as described above is also achieved in the second embodiment.

なお、以上の構成において、ストッパ６２を、各短辺側遮蔽板４８の外面に突出形成した２つの係止凸部４８０２により構成し、また、ストッパ６２を、各短辺側遮蔽板４８の上端の屈曲部４００１により構成した場合について説明したが、ストッパ６２は、ソケット本体３６の側壁３８の上端で構成するようにしてもよい。
また、ソケット用遮蔽板３８を４つ設けた場合について説明したが、ソケット用遮蔽板３８の数は任意であり、したがって、１つであってもよく、２つであってもよく、あるいは、３つであってもよい。 In the above-described configuration, the stopper 62 is constituted by the two engaging projections 4802 formed to protrude from the outer surface of each short side shielding plate 48, and the stopper 62 is formed at the upper end of each short side shielding plate 48. However, the stopper 62 may be configured by the upper end of the side wall 38 of the socket main body 36.
Moreover, although the case where the four shielding plates 38 for sockets were provided was demonstrated, the number of the shielding plates 38 for sockets is arbitrary, therefore, it may be one, may be two, or There may be three.

次に、弾性片４０と弾性変形用欠部３６２０、３６３０について詳細に説明する。
図２に示すように、撮像装置２０では、上述のように、カメラ本体２８の４つの側面（長辺側側面２８０６、短辺側側面２８０８）に弾接し、複数の接片３２と複数の接続端子４２とを接続した状態で４つの側壁３６０４との間に隙間Ｓ１を確保してカメラモジュール２２を底壁３６０２上で４つの側壁３６０４の内側に弾性支持する弾性片４０が各側壁３６０４にそれぞれ設けられている。
