Invention Description: 〃 Technical Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a camera module, and more particularly to a camera module having a dustproof function. [Prior Art] At present, mass production is carried out in a modular manner, and electronic products having a photographing function, such as a digital camera, a mobile phone, and a camera module of a personal digital assistant are often used, which often have dust contamination during the process and transportation. The problem is that the quality of the product is affected. Therefore, reducing the pollution of the camera module, such as dust, will help improve the camera quality of the camera module. Generally, the camera module includes a lens module for imaging and an image sensor disposed on the image side of the lens module. The lens module includes a lens barrel for receiving the lens and a lens holder that is screwed to the lens barrel. Because the lens barrel and the mirror base are connected by screws, dust will fall into and hide in the thread gap during the process and transportation. When the lens barrel is rotated to adjust the distance between the lens and the image sensor, the dust hidden between the threads falls on the sensing area of the image sensor. 5 Because the sensing area of the image sensor is sensitive to the south, The quality of the captured image will be degraded due to the falling of dust. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above, it is necessary to provide a camera module having a dustproof function capable of improving image quality. A camera module includes a lens module for imaging, an image sensing module coupled to the image side of the lens module, and a protective film attached to an outer surface of the lens module. 6 200901838 The camera module isolates the inner and outer threads of the lens barrel and the lens holder from the outside due to the action of the protective film, so that dust or dross can be prevented from falling into the lens barrel during the process and transportation. In the gap between the inner and outer threads of the lens holder, the camera module incorporated in the electronic product is not hidden by dust or the like, and is not embedded in the sensing area of the image sensing module, and the lens module and the lens module are avoided. The image sensing module is polluted by the outside world, so the shooting quality of the camera module is improved. [Embodiment] In order to further clarify the present invention, a preferred embodiment will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, which illustrate a camera module 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The lens module 11 for imaging, the image sensing module 12 connected to the image side of the lens module 11 and the protective film 13 attached to the outer surface of the lens module 11 are included. The lens module 11 includes a lens barrel 111 that houses a plurality of optical elements (not shown) and a lens holder 112 that is coupled to the lens barrel 111. In the present embodiment, the outer side of one end of the lens barrel 111 connected to the lens holder 112 is provided with an external thread 113, and the other end of the thread 113 is provided with a driving mechanism, such as a voice coil motor (not shown). Shown gear teeth 114. The inner side of the lens holder 112 is provided with an internal thread 115 that cooperates with the external thread 113 of the lens barrel 111 for screwing with the lens barrel 111 to facilitate movement of the lens barrel 111 along the axis of the lens holder 112. The image sensing module 12 includes an image sensor 121 and a substrate 2009 122 for placing the image sensor 121 and electrically connected to the image sensor 121. The image sensor 121 is configured to sense the light from the lens module 11 and convert it into a digital signal for processing by a camera processor (not shown). The substrate 122 is used to connect with other components in the camera, such as a circuit board (not shown), for transmitting the data obtained by the image sensor 121. The image sensing module 12 is disposed on one side of the lens holder 112 away from the lens barrel 111. The protective film 13 includes a body 131 and four blades 132 extending from the edge of the body 131. The body 131 may be integrally formed with the blade 132 or may be disposed separately from the blade 132. In the embodiment, the body 131 is integrally formed with the blade 132. The body 131 is configured to cover an end surface of the lens module away from the end of the image sensing module 12 . The four blades 132 are used to cover the sides of the lens module. The protective film 13 may be made of a masking tape (3M4734), and the adhesive surface is coated with an adhesive for adhering the protective film 13 to the outer surface of the lens module 11. Preferably, the protective film 13 is a flat type of adhesive. When the camera module 10 is assembled into an electronic product, the protective film 13 is peeled off from the lens module 11. Of course, it is conceivable that when the protective film 13 is made of a transparent material, when the camera module 10 is assembled into an electronic product, the image of the image camera module is not imaged, and the protective film 13 is not required to be removed from the camera module 10 . Peel off. It can be understood that a side of the lens module 11 relative to the image sensing module 12 can also be provided with a driving mechanism for driving the rotation of the lens barrel 111, such as a voice coil motor, for adjusting the focus of the lens module. At this time, the protective film 13 is directly attached to the end surface of the driving mechanism away from the end of the image sensing module and the outer side of the periphery. 8 200901838 , the camera module isolates the inner and outer threads of the lens barrel and the lens holder from the outside due to the action of the protective film, so that dust or dross can be prevented from falling into the lens barrel during the process and transportation process. In the gap between the inner and outer threads of the lens holder, the camera module incorporated in the electronic product is not hidden by dust or dregs, and does not fall into the sensing area of the image sensing module, thereby avoiding The lens module and the image sensing module are polluted by the outside world, so the shooting quality of the camera module can be improved. In summary, the present invention complies with the requirements of the invention patent, and proposes a special patent application according to law. However, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and those skilled in the art will be able to make equivalent modifications or variations in accordance with the spirit of the present invention. It should be covered by the following patent application.
