Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a jig for inspecting a camera module according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a side view of a jig for inspecting a camera module. . The jig for inspecting a camera module according to the present invention is a jig for inspecting both sides of the camera module 100 based on an operation signal transmitted to a terminal 120 of the camera module 100, A lower jig 220, a top jig 210, a first PCR (Pressure Contact Rubber) socket 230, a second PCR socket 260, and a flexible circuit board 280.

In the lower jig 220, a seating groove 221 is formed so that the camera module 100 as an inspected object is received and seated. The seating groove 221 is designed in the form of a groove corresponding to the lower shape of the PCB or the cable connecting the lens 110 and the terminal 120 of the camera module 100 and the lens 110 and the terminal 120.

The upper jig 210 is rotatably installed at the upper end of the lower jig 220 so as to open and close the lower jig 220 so that the flexible circuit board 280 to be described later is connected to the outside when the upper jig 210 is closed. A through hole 212 is formed for exposing the lens 110 so as to evaluate the function of the substrate through hole 211 and the lens 110 of the camera module 100.

The first PCR socket 230 is fastened to a position opposite to the terminal 120 of the camera module 100 inserted into the mounting groove 221. The first PCR socket 230 has an upper surface and a lower surface The upper jig 210 has an electrode pattern and the upper jig 210 is connected to the upper jig 210 so that the electrode pattern of the lower surface is electrically connected to the terminal 120 of the camera module 100 when the upper jig 210 closes the lower jig 220. [ Respectively.

Here, the first PCR socket 230 has a shape protruding from the bottom surface of the upper jig 210 toward the seating groove 221. When the upper jig 210 and the lower jig 220 are in the closed state, the protruded first PCR socket 230 has a close contact structure with the terminal 120 of the camera module 100.

The second PCR socket 260 has an electrode pattern on each of the upper surface and the lower surface so that the electrode pattern on the lower surface of the second PCR socket 260 is pressed against the electrode on the upper surface of the PCB 290 (Printed Circuit Board) And is provided on the bottom surface of the jig 220.

The first PCR socket 230 and the second PCR socket 260 are contactors filled with a conductive powder in a base hole formed at a predetermined interval in the height direction on a panel made of an insulating material such as silicon. At the end of each base hole, an electrode of an elastic material having conductivity is extended so that a contact with an electrode of an object is formed at the time of pressing.

Here, each electrode forming the electrode pattern in the first PCR socket 230 or the second PCR socket 260 may be designed to have an elliptic shape in a range to keep the gap from the adjacent electrode. This is because, in order to secure a contact area in contact with an electrode or a contact pin that is in contact with the electrode of the PCR socket, the electrode at the contact has an advantageous effect on maintaining contact with the partial gap or movement.

The flexible circuit board 280 contacts the upper surface electrode pattern of the first PCR socket 230 and the upper surface electrode pattern of the second PCR socket 260. The flexible circuit board 280 has one end connected to the first PCR socket 230 and the other end connected to the upper jig 210 through the substrate through hole 221 of the upper jig 210. In this embodiment, And is exposed to the upper surface to form a contact with the second PCR socket 260 provided on the bottom surface of the lower jig 220.

In this case, the first PCR socket 230 and the second PCR socket 260 are coupled to the flexible circuit board 280 through a bolt. However, the first PCR socket 230 and the second PCR socket 260 may be bonded together.

According to the jig for inspecting a camera module according to the present invention, since the flexible circuit board is used, the selection of the circuit board for the operation of the upper jig to be opened and closed and the restriction of the designed shape are greatly reduced.

In addition, when a contactor such as a pogo pin or a common metal pin is directly connected to a flexible circuit board, the flexible circuit board is damaged. However, since a contact is formed using a PCR socket of an elastic material, And the contact failure of the contactor caused by deformation or abrasion of the pin occurring at the contact point is prevented. Therefore, the lifetime of the jig for testing the camera module is increased, and the maintenance cost such as replacement of parts can be reduced.

On the other hand, since the PCR socket and the flexible circuit board are used, the number of contact points can be reduced.

Fig. 4 is a diagram for explaining a reduction in the number of contacts of the contactor. Fig. 4A is a view showing a contact point between the contactor to which the pogo pin 10 is applied and the hard type PCB 20. FIG. 4B is a view showing the contact between the metal conductive pin 10a and the PCR socket 30, The PCB 20 of FIG.

Referring to FIG. 4A, in order to solve the problem of damage caused by the use of the pogo pin 10 as described above, the contact according to the contactor configuration in which the PCR socket 30 is additionally applied to the pogo pin 10 shown in FIG. . 4A and 4B are applied to the camera module inspection jig, the contact points (contact B and contact C) between the hard type PCB 20 and the contact pins 10 and 10a and the PCBs (Contact A) between the contact (contact C) formed between the contact pins and the contact pins 10 and 10a electrically connected to the terminal 120 of the camera module 100 are formed.

However, as shown in FIG. 4B, the PCR socket 30 may be additionally provided to the contactor pins 10 and 10a to prevent damage by the pins. For example, if the PCR socket 30 is applied to the contacts B and D, the damage can be prevented at the contacts B and D. However, the PCR socket 30 is added to the contactor pins 10 and 10a as shown in FIGS. The contact points are formed on the upper and lower surfaces of the PCR socket 30, which leads to a problem that the number of contact points is further increased, resulting in a complicated structure in manufacturing and an increased manufacturing cost.

However, when the flexible circuit board 40 and the PCR socket 30 are used as shown in FIG. 4C, since the contactor composed of the contactor pins 10 and 10a and the housing 11 is replaced by the PCR socket 30, The electrode of the flexible circuit board 40 and the electrode pattern of the PCR socket 30 are directly connected to each other to form a contact, thereby reducing the number of the contact points.

4C corresponds to the contact formed between the second PCR socket 260 of the present invention and the PCB 290 of the camera module inspection apparatus and is connected to the first PCR socket 230 and the terminal The contactor pins 10 and 10a and the socket housing 11 are used. The socket housing 231 applied to the present invention will be described later.

4D is a view showing another example of the contactor structure using the flexible circuit board 40 and the PCR socket 30. As shown in FIG. The contact pins 10 and 10a are not used in the jig for inspecting the camera module as shown in Fig. 4C but the contactor is formed of only the PCR socket 30 on the flexible circuit board 40, (Contact point A, contact point C) are constituted. The principle of reducing the number of contact points is the same as that described in the contact point C of FIG. 4C, so that further explanation is omitted. A camera module inspection jig designed with such a contactor structure is shown in Fig.

5 is an exemplary view of a jig for inspecting a camera module according to the configuration of FIG. 4D. 5, the first PCR socket 230a forms an electrode pattern to be energized on the flexible circuit board 280 and the lower surface electrode pattern of the first PCR socket 230a is connected to the camera And is directly connected to the terminal 120 of the module 100.

According to this configuration, since the flexible circuit board 280 is used instead of the hard type circuit board in the present invention, a separate cable is not required separately, and the upper jig 210 moves in the direction of closing the lower jig 220 The substrate can be flexibly deformed, so that the jig for inspection of the camera module can be free from the restriction of the operation and the design shape. As the number of contact points is reduced, the number of misfits or malfunctions The reliability of the inspection process is improved.

According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a contactor having a contact pin extending in an electrical connection with an electrode pattern formed on a terminal of a camera module, which is fastened to a lower surface electrode pattern of a first PCR (pressure contact rubber) socket.

Here, the contactor may include a contact pin having an electrode pattern corresponding to the terminal 120 of the camera module, and one end of the contact pin may be connected to the electrode pattern of the first PCR (Pressure Contact Rubber) socket.

5, the contactor composed of the contactor pins 10 and 10a and the housing 11 can be replaced with a PCR socket. However, the shape of the camera module 100 according to the manufacturer is different, And may further include a contactor in which a contact pin is formed. Here, the contact pin is used to form a contact with the terminal 120 of the camera module. However, since the first PCR socket 230 is formed at the contact, the contact pin prevents the flexible circuit board 280 from being damaged .

The contactor further includes a socket housing 231. The socket housing 231 stands up to isolate the contactor pins so as to be isolated from each other and contacts the first PCR socket 230 and the flexible circuit board 280 And is fastened to the upper jig 210 so as to maintain the squeezed state. As described above, the first PCR socket 230 and the flexible circuit board 280 are bonded or bolted to each other in a compressed state. When the socket housing 231 is configured, the socket housing 231 is connected to the upper jig 210 The coupling process between the first PCR socket 230 and the flexible circuit board 280 is omitted because the first PCR socket 230 and the flexible circuit board 280 are coupled with each other.

4E is a view showing a contact structure between the PCR socket 30 applied to the camera module inspection jig and the PCB 50 constituting the camera module inspection device. Here, the PCR socket is the second PCR socket 260 of the present invention, and the PCB 50 is an example of the main board of the apparatus for inspecting the camera module. Such a contact structure can be further explained with reference to Fig.

6 is an exemplary view of a jig for inspecting a camera module according to a second embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 6, a jig for testing a camera module is designed to form a contact between the terminal 120 of the camera module and the PCB 290 of the camera module testing device using one PCR socket 260a. The PCB 220 is connected to the PCB 290 and the terminal 120 using only one PCR socket 260a formed on the lower jig 220. Specifically, the PCB 220 is inserted into the mounting groove 221 formed in the lower jig 220, The PCR patterns 260a are formed such that the electrode patterns formed on the upper surface of the PCR socket 260a are in contact with the terminals 120 of the camera module and the electrode patterns formed on the lower surface are contacted with the PCB 290 of the camera module inspection apparatus So that energization is performed.

In order for the PCR socket 260a to be in contact with the PCB 290, one side of the seating groove 221 corresponding to the PCR socket 260a is opened in the height direction of the lower jig 220, And the PCR socket 260a is fastened and fixed in the middle of the position. Since the position where the PCR socket 260a is fastened is located in the middle of the height of the lower jig 220, the design of the degree of protrusion of the PCB 290 of the camera module inspection device, The shape of the upper jig 220 may be designed so that the terminal 120 of the camera module can be pressed in the closed state by the upper jig 210 or the PCB 290 may be mounted on the lower surface of the PCR socket 260a. It is also possible to apply a PCR socket 260a designed to have a thickness capable of forming contacts by pressing the terminal 120 of the camera module on the upper surface.

In order for the terminal 120 of the camera module to establish a contact with the PCR socket 260a, the contact direction of the terminal 120 is set so as to face the direction of the PCR socket 260a, It is a matter of course that the position and direction of the through hole 212 for exposing the lens 110 may vary depending on the shape of the module.

According to this, only a single PCR socket is used, and a flexible circuit board connecting the PCR socket installed in the upper jig 210 and the PCR socket connected to the upper jig 210 and the PCR socket installed on the lower jig 220 is not constituted, It is possible to reduce the manufacturing cost.

When the PCR socket applied to the jig for camera module inspection is used for the structure of the PCB of the camera module inspection device or the terminal of the camera module, it is possible to prevent the damage of the terminal of the inspection product by the contact pin, To reduce overall maintenance costs and maintenance costs.

Meanwhile, the flexible circuit board 280 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes an electrode pattern on the upper surface of the first PCR (Pressure Contact Rubber) socket, and an electrode pattern on the upper surface of the second PCR (Pressure Contact Rubber) And conductive pads on which contacts are formed can be formed at both ends. The conductive pads are connected to the first and second PCR sockets 230 and 260 so that the flexible circuit board 280 is electrically connected to the electrode patterns of the first and second PCR sockets 230 and 260. The conductive pads are designed to correspond to the sizes and pitches of the PCR sockets, So that the elastic body on the base hole side of the PCR packed with the conductive powder can be pressed.

7 is a bottom perspective view of a camera module inspection jig. The lower jig 220 is provided with a plurality of fastening holes 270 penetrating in the height direction along the circumference of the second PCR (Pressure Contact Rubber) socket position provided on the bottom surface of the lower jig 220 . A fastening bolt is inserted into the fastening hole 270 so as to minimize the gap between the PCB 290 and the lower jig 220 of the camera module inspecting device so as to maintain the squeezed state of the second PCR (Pressure Contact Rubber) socket.

The fastening hole 270 and the fastening bolt are formed by pressing the electrode pattern formed on the lower surface of the second PCR socket 260 provided on the lower surface of the lower jig 220 with the electrode pattern formed on the PCB 290 of the camera module testing device And the connection at the time of increasing the number of PCR sockets can be secured.

The jig for inspecting a camera module according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention may further include a coupling unit 250 coupling the upper jig 210 and the lower jig 220 together. The coupling unit 250 includes a hinge shaft 251 for coupling the upper jig 210 rotatably at an upper portion of the lower jig 220, Member 252, and a fixture 253 for fixing the upper jig 210 to the lower jig 220 in a closed state by rotating the upper jig 210.

The upper jig 210 is pivoted at the upper portion of the lower jig 220 so that the upper jig 210 can be opened and closed to fix the upper jig 210 in a closed state covering the lower jig 220 .

 The fixing jig 253 is rotatably provided at one side of the lower jig 220 through a hinge and is fixed to the upper jig 210 so that the upper surface of the upper jig 210 and the upper surface of the lower jig 220 are kept in close contact with each other. 210 is fixed to one side of the fastening protrusion 253 and functions to maintain the closed state. An elastic spring 254 is formed on the lower surface of the fixing member 254 to support one side of the fixing member 253 in the rotating direction. When the upper jig 210 is opened in the lower jig 220, the lower end of the fixing hole 253 is pressed in the direction to press the elastic spring 254, and the fixing hole is separated from the fixing jaw by the hinge shaft 251, The upper jig 210 is opened with the lower jig 220 by the elastic member 252 wound around the hinge shaft 251 of the coupling part 250.

On the other hand, the lower jig 220 is provided with an opening / closing detector 240.

The lower end of the spring pin protrudes from the bottom of the lower jig 220 of the spring pin so that the lower jig 220 is coupled to the PCB 290 of the camera module inspection apparatus, The pressed state is maintained. Accordingly, when the upper jig 210 closes the lower jig 220, when the upper end of the spring pin is pressed in the height direction, energization is performed inside the spring pin, thereby generating a signal due to opening and closing. In the present invention, a PCR socket is used in a jig for inspecting a camera module. The first PCR socket 230 is connected to the terminal 120 of the camera module 100 to determine whether the camera module 100 is operating normally The opening / closing detector 240 is used to check whether the closed state is correctly maintained, and the operation control signal of the camera module 100 is applied in a state where the closed state is maintained.

According to the embodiment of the present invention, a friction member 241 is further formed on the lower jig 220. The friction member 241 is provided to be in contact with the outer surface of the camera module 100 at one side of the bottom surface portion of the seating groove 221 and the camera module 100 mounted thereon is closed by the upper jig 210, When the first PCR socket 230 is pressed on the terminal 120 of the module 100, the flow of the camera module 100 is prevented to stably secure the contactor bonding state.
