2 is a perspective view schematically illustrating a lens driving device according to an exemplary embodiment. 3 is a view showing a portion A of FIG. 2 .

In the embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 , the lens driving device is a first depression formed surrounded by a portion of the cross-section of the printed circuit board 250 , the cover member 300 and the base 210 . A groove g1 may be provided.

In this case, the printed circuit board 250 may include at least one bent terminal surface 253 , and the first recessed grooves g1 may be formed on both upper sides of the terminal surface 253 . In addition, concave portions 253a forming a part of the first recessed groove g1 may be formed on both upper sides of the terminal surface 253 .

The first recessed groove g1 is a gap between the printed circuit board 250 , the cover member 300 and the base 210 where the adhesive is introduced, that is, the adhesive permeates into the gap. It is a structure formed to fill the

Accordingly, the first recessed groove g1 includes a first surface f1 formed by one end of the terminal surface 253 , a second surface f2 formed by one end of the cover member 300 , and It may be provided to be surrounded by a third surface f3 formed by one end of the base 210 . Also, the first recessed groove g1 may be provided such that the front is opened and the rear is closed by the outer surface 210a of the base 210 .

As shown in FIG. 3 , the outer surface 210a of the base 210 forming the first recessed groove g1 may have a protrusion formed in the central portion. This is because the gap between the printed circuit board 250, the cover member 300, and the base 210 is located in a portion facing the side surface of the protrusion, so that when the adhesive flows into the first recessed groove g1, the protrusion This is because it flows down toward the end face and easily permeates into the gap, so that bonding with an adhesive can be easily performed.

The first recessed grooves g1 may be provided as a pair spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance. This is because the gap between the printed circuit board 250, the cover member 300, and the base 210 is located on both sides of the terminal surface 253 provided on the printed circuit board 250, so bonding this gap In order to do so, the first recessed groove g1 may be provided as a pair.

On the other hand, the adhesive used for the above bonding operation may be, for example, a polymer-based material such as epoxy. When the viscosity of the adhesive is low, since the fluidity is large, the bonding operation to fill the gap may be easily performed, but the bonding force may be weakened. On the other hand, in the case of an adhesive having a high viscosity, although the bonding force is strong, the bonding operation to fill the gap may not be easily performed because the fluidity is small.

Therefore, it is necessary to proceed with the bonding operation using an adhesive having an appropriate viscosity in consideration of the easiness of operation and the bonding strength between the printed circuit board 250, the cover member 300 and the base 210 after the bonding operation. can

The width w of the first recessed groove (g1) measured along the longitudinal direction of the terminal surface 253 is the first recessed groove (g1) so that the needle of the adhesive injector performing the bonding operation easily It can be selected in consideration of whether it can enter into the first recessed groove (g1), the ease of the forming operation, the ease of the bonding operation, and the like.

Considering this point, it is appropriate that the first recessed groove (g1) be provided with 0.1 mm or more, preferably 0.3 mm or more, and more preferably 0.1 mm to 0.6 mm.

4 is a view for explaining a bonding operation for coupling a lens driving device according to an embodiment.

The bonding operation of bonding the terminal surface 253, the cover member 300, and the base 210 provided on the printed circuit board 250 with an adhesive may be performed using an application device equipped with an adhesive injector having a needle.

For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the needle of the adhesive injector from which the liquid adhesive comes out is moved in the longitudinal direction of the terminal surface 253, that is, in the left and right direction in the drawing, and the terminal surface 253 and the cover member 300. Bonding the first gap G1 of the portion in contact with the second gap G2 of the portion where the terminal surface 253 , the cover member 300 and the base 210 abut with an adhesive may be performed.

As shown in FIG. 4 , in the lens driving device provided with the first recessed groove g1 of the embodiment, as described above, when the bonding operation is performed while moving the needle from the left to the right, it is easy in the first gap G1. Bonding work can be done.

In addition, since the first recessed groove g1 is formed in the second gap G2 , the bonding operation may be easily performed even in the second gap G2 region. The specific bonding process is as follows, for example.

First, the needle is positioned in the first recessed groove g1 located in the second gap G2 on the left side in the drawing, and the adhesive is sufficiently injected into the first recessed groove g1 . The injected adhesive is introduced into the first recessed groove (g1), and the second portion of the portion where the cross-sections of the terminal surface 253, the cover member 300, and the base 210 forming the first recessed groove g1 meet each other. It flows back into the gap G2.

Since a sufficient amount of adhesive flows into the second gap G2 through the first recessed groove g1, bonding between the terminal surface 253, the cover member 300, and the base 210 has sufficient bonding strength, and the second The gap G2 may be completely sealed. After the bonding operation for the second gap G2 is completed, the sealing operation for the first gap G1 may be performed.

Next, a bonding operation to fill the first gap (G1) is performed while moving the needle located in the first recessed groove (g1) to the right in the drawing.

In this case, if a sufficient amount of adhesive is injected into the first gap (G1) and the movement speed of the needle is appropriately adjusted, a sufficient bonding force is obtained between the terminal surface 253 and the cover member 300 and the first gap (G1) can be completely sealed.

Next, in the drawing, the needle is placed in the first recessed groove (g1) located in the second gap (G2) on the right side in the drawing, and the same operation as the bonding operation performed in the second gap (G2) on the left side in the drawing is performed. do.

Through this operation, as described above, bonding between the terminal surface 253 , the cover member 300 , and the base 210 may have sufficient bonding force, and the second gap G2 may be completely sealed.

In the embodiment, since the bonding operation is performed by injecting an adhesive into the first recessed groove g1, the gap at the portion where the cross-sections of the terminal surface 253, the cover member 300, and the base 210 meet each other is completely sealed and , there is an effect that the terminal surface 253, the cover member 300, and the base 210 can have sufficient bonding force to each other.

5 is a bottom view showing the base 210 according to an embodiment. The base 210 of an embodiment includes the base 210 and the cover member 300 or the printed circuit board 250 in a portion coupled to the cover member 300 or the printed circuit board 250 on the bottom surface. A second recessed groove g2 to which the bonding adhesive is applied may be provided.

At this time, the terminal surface 253 bent on the printed circuit board 250 and the base 210 are bonded to each other, and the second recessed groove g2 is formed between the base 210 and the terminal surface 253 . ) may be provided at the binding site. In addition, the cover member 300 and the base 210 are bonded to each other to be coupled, and the second recessed groove g2 may be provided at a portion where the cover member 300 and the base 210 are coupled. have.

In order to block the inflow of foreign substances from the outside into the lens driving device, it is necessary to perform a bonding operation. On the other hand, in the case of a bonding operation of sealing the gap between the terminal surface 253 , the base 210 , and the cover member 300 with an adhesive, the operation is not easy due to the terminal of the terminal surface 253 .

That is, when the bonding operation is performed on the front surface of the terminal surface 253 on which the terminal is formed, the adhesive may be attached to the terminal. In the case of the terminal coated with adhesive, after the assembly operation of the lens driving device including the bonding operation is completed, poor contact or malfunction due to poor contact may occur during performance testing of the lens driving device or actual use of the lens driving device.

In addition, when the bonding operation is performed on the front surface where the terminals of the terminal surface 253 are formed, the movement of the needle for applying the adhesive to the portion where the terminal surface 253, the base 210, and the cover member 300 are combined with each other is performed. Since there are many interfering protruding or recessed structures, the bonding operation may not be performed smoothly, and the needle may be damaged or bent during the bonding operation.

Therefore, in the embodiment, the bonding operation between the terminal surface 253, the base 210, and the cover member 300 is facilitated by performing the bonding operation on the rear surface rather than the front surface where the terminals of the terminal surface 253 are formed, There is an effect that can achieve complete sealing through bonding operation.

Meanwhile, the base 210 may have a rectangular shape, and the second recessed groove g2 may be provided at each side of the rectangular shape. In addition, a portion where the terminal surface 253 of the cover member 300 or the printed circuit board 250 is coupled to the base 210 may be provided at each side portion of the quadrangle.

The second recessed groove (g2) is formed adjacent to the gap where the terminal surface 253, the base 210, and the cover member 300 contact each other, the inner side is closed and the outer side is provided so as to be open to communicate with the gap can be

Accordingly, the adhesive is injected into the second recessed groove (g2) and again flows into the gap located in the open portion of the second recessed groove (g2) to fill the gap and the bonding operation is completed. When a sufficient and appropriate amount of adhesive is injected into the second recessed groove g2, the gap may be completely filled and sealed.

6 is a bottom view showing the base 210 according to another embodiment. As shown in FIG. 6 , a third recessed groove g3 recessed in the center direction of the base 210 may be formed in the second recessed groove g2 .

The third recessed groove (g3) may be additionally formed in the second recessed groove (g2), and when the adhesive is injected into the third recessed groove (g3) during bonding operation, the adhesive is removed from the third recessed groove (g3). 2 It may flow into the gap through the recessed groove g2 to seal the gap.

The point-coating bonding operation of injecting an adhesive into the third recessed groove (g3) is compared to the linear application-type bonding operation in which the needle is placed at the first bonding site and the needle is moved along a linear gap, the needle is damaged, It has the effect of significantly reducing warpage.

7 is a bottom view showing the base 210 according to another embodiment. As shown in FIG. 7 , a fourth recessed groove g4 recessed in the edge direction of the base 210 may be formed in the second recessed groove g2 .

In this case, a plurality of the fourth recessed grooves g4 may be provided in portions symmetrical to each other based on the center of each side of the base 210 and an imaginary center line passing through the center of the base 210 . Although a pair of symmetrical fourth recessed grooves g4 is illustrated in FIG. 7 , the present invention is not limited thereto.

As shown in Figure 8, the fourth recessed groove (g4) is formed in the corner portion of the base 210, the second recessed groove (g2) adjacent to the edge of the base 210 therebetween are the fourth It may be connected to each other by the recessed groove (g4).

Accordingly, the second recessed grooves g2 formed on the bottom surface of the base 210 may be provided to be connected to each other through the fourth recessed grooves g4 . In this case, the adhesive flowing into the fourth recessed groove g4 flows into the adjacent second recessed grooves g2 with the edge of the base 210 interposed therebetween, and passes through the second recessed grooves g2 to the base. They may be introduced into adjacent gaps with the edge of 210 interposed therebetween.

9 is a bottom view showing the base 210 according to another embodiment. 9, in the second recessed groove (g2), the third recessed groove (g3) recessed in the center direction of the base (210) and the fourth recessed recessed in the corner direction of the base (210) A recessed groove g4 is formed, and a plurality of the fourth recessed grooves g4 may be provided in portions symmetrical to each other.

In this case, a point-coating bonding operation of injecting an adhesive into the third recessed groove g3 and/or the fourth recessed groove g4 may be performed. On the other hand, as in the embodiment described with reference to FIG. 8 , a fourth recessed groove g4 is formed in the corner portion of the base 210 , and the adjacent second recessed grooves g2 are formed with the edge of the base 210 interposed therebetween. It may be provided to be connected to each other by the fourth recessed groove (g4).

10 is a view showing the second recessed groove (g2). 11 is a schematic view showing a side surface f5 of the second recessed groove g2.

As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11 , the second recessed groove g2 including the fourth recessed groove g4 is formed from the inside of the base 210 to the outside of the base 210 , that is, the base 210 . ) may be provided to be inclined so that the depth increases toward each side of the rectangle.

Due to this inclined structure, the adhesive p flowing into the fourth recessed groove (g4) smoothly flows into the second recessed groove (g2) due to the inclination, and passes through the second recessed groove (g2) to close the gap, which is the bonding site. Fill bonding work can be completed quickly.

That is, as shown in FIG. 11 , the longest depth L2 of the second recessed groove g2 is greater than the shortest depth L1 of the fourth recessed groove g4 . The upper end of the side surface f5 of the second recessed groove g2 including the fourth recessed groove g4 during the bonding operation is arranged horizontally or close to the horizontal, and thus the side surface f5 of the second recessed groove g2 is The lower end maintains the inclination, and thus the bottom of the second recessed groove g2 also maintains the inclination.

Therefore, the adhesive p flowing into the fourth recessed groove g4 may flow smoothly along the bottom of the inclined second recessed groove g2 and flow into the gap, which is a bonding site, to fill and seal the gap.

On the other hand, the second recessed groove (g2), the third recessed groove (g3), and the fourth recessed groove (g4) of each embodiment shown in FIGS. 5 to 9 are all from the inside to the outside of the base 210 as described above. It may be provided with an inclined structure so that the depth increases toward the .

Since each recessed groove formed on the bottom surface of the base 210 has an inclined structure that increases in depth from the inside to the outside, the adhesive p flowing into each recessed groove flows more smoothly and flows into the gap, so that the bonding operation is performed. It has the effect of being able to complete it quickly.

In addition, the optical system may include at least one lens that transmits an image to the image sensor. In this case, an actuator module capable of performing an auto-focusing function and a hand-shake correction function may be installed in the optical system. The actuator module performing the auto-focusing function may be configured in various ways, and a voice coil unit motor is generally used. The lens driving apparatus according to the above-described embodiment may serve as an actuator module that performs both an auto-focusing function and a hand-shake correction function.

In addition, the camera module may further include an infrared cut filter (not shown). The infrared cut filter serves to block light in the infrared region from being incident on the image sensor. In this case, in the base 210 illustrated in FIG. 2 , an infrared cut filter may be installed at a position corresponding to the image sensor, and may be coupled to a holder member (not shown). In addition, the base 210 may support the lower side of the holder member.

A separate terminal member may be installed on the base 210 to conduct electricity with the printed circuit board 250 , and it is also possible to integrally form the terminal using a surface electrode or the like. Meanwhile, the base 210 may function as a sensor holder to protect the image sensor, and in this case, a protrusion may be formed in a downward direction along the side surface of the base 210 . However, this is not an essential configuration, and although not shown, a separate sensor holder may be disposed under the base 210 to perform its role.
