Abstract

An adjustable lens positioning device applied in digital camera, which includes members like lens element, supporting frame and positioning rod, etc. The lens element is a bolt-like structure formed by screw rod part and screw nut part, the outer rim of screw nut is tooth like, and a hollow tube is inside the screw rod. A lens is inlaid inside the tube to guide the light through the hollow tube and focus it to form the image. The lens element is installed in the supporting frame, and its distance between the photosensor can be adjusted by the way of rotation so that the lens can be focused. The positioning rod is on the supporting frame, and protrudes upward straight into contact with the outer rim of the screw nut part. Since the profile of the positioning rod matches with the toothlike outer rim of the screw nut part, therefore, by the tenoning of the gap between the toothlike outer rim, the rotational movement of the lens element can be confined.

Description of the Invention (5) 1 Field of Invention: The present invention relates to an adjustable lens positioning device used in digital cameras, so that The lens can be focused and imaged on the Pho to Sensor. 5-2 Background of the Invention: When manufacturing a digital camera, the lens must be precisely focused on the light sensor, such as a charge-coupled device (CCD), Or CMOS sensor. Traditionally, a set of lens positioning devices is used to fix the lens in a specific position and focus on the light sensor inside the digital camera. Refer to FIG. 1 for a cross-sectional view of a conventional lens positioning device , 0, which mainly includes a lens element 14 and a bracket 12. The bracket 12 is fixed on the printed circuit board 22, and the surface of the printed circuit board 22 is soldered with a light sensor 24. The lens 18 is enclosed in a bolt-shaped lens element 14 and focuses the light on the light sensor 2 4 through the hollow tube 2 6. The first thread 11 on the outside of the lens element 14 is matched with the second thread 13 on the inside of the bracket 12 so that the lens element 14 can be rotated to a specific position in the bracket 12 and the lens 18 is adjusted At the focus position. After the focal length is adjusted, the lens elements 14 will be fixed to the bracket 12 through the dispensing 20 dispersed at different positions. Generally speaking, the light sensor 2 4 is surface-mount technology, so that the paper size of the light sensor 24 is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (2 〖0 χ 297 male Li)-η ---------- ^ ------ Γ ^ --------- line (please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) A7 A 34 4 5 1 B7_ V. Description of the invention () The solder paste at the contact between the pin and the printed circuit board 22 is melted and then cooled and solidified, and it is fixed on the surface of the printed circuit board 2 2. When the cadmium paste is melted, the liquefied solder paste will slightly lift the light sensor 24, offsetting it slightly from its predetermined height. Therefore, in order to compensate for the offset displacement of the light sensor 24, it is necessary to fine-adjust the position 1 of the lens element 14 in the vertical direction. After the adjustment is completed, * its position can be fixed and fixed. One disadvantage of the conventional lens positioning device 10 is that the gap between the first thread 11 and the second thread 13 prevents the lens element 14 from being tightly fixed in the bracket 12. Therefore, if any sudden impact causes a slight movement of the lens element 14, it will not be able to precisely focus on the light sensor 2 4. When the dispensing 20 is cured, the dispensing 20 at different positions will exert uneven force on the lens element 14 and thus force the lens 14 to shift from the original focus position. In addition, even if the dispensing 20 can exert an average force on the lens element 14 before the solidification, there is no guarantee that the lens element 14 will not be displaced by the handling vibration during the process of producing digital phase mechanism. Since Dispensing 20 fixes the lens element 14 to the bracket 12 permanently, once the glue is solidified after the displacement, it is difficult to repair it. FIG. 2 shows another lens positioning device 30 in the conventional art, and its main components also include a lens element 38 and a bracket 36. Similarly, the bracket 36 is fixed on the printed circuit board 32, and the surface of the printed circuit board 32 is soldered with a light sensor 34. The lens element 38 can be screwed into the bracket 36, and this paper size applies to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 * 297 male f) ------------- ki --- ---- ^ Order --------- line (please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economy -d 3 d 4- 5 I A7 _B7_ V. Description of the invention () The lens 46 can be positioned at the focus position, and the light is guided through the hollow tube 4 8 and imaged on the light sensor 3 4. In order to further fix the lens 46 to the focal length, a screw hole 4 2 is designed on one side of the bracket 36, and when the bolt 40 is screwed into the screw hole 4 2 and locked to the lens element, the lens can be fixed. The element 38 and the lens 46 are tightly fixed at the focal length. In the general digital camera manufacturing process, if the assembly time required for each lens is smaller, the overall production capacity will be higher. In other words, the cost of assembling each lens will be smaller. However, as the first In the design of the lens fixing device shown in Figure 2, it will take a long time for the bolt 40 to be screwed into the screw hole 42, so it will undoubtedly increase the time to assemble each lens, thereby reducing the overall Digital Camera Capacity. In addition, since a screw hole must be formed on one side of the bracket 36, a lateral slider must be added when designing the mold to form a model of the dry rack 36, which makes the mold design more complex and costly. Yu Yu increased. Furthermore, since the lens fixing device 30 must be used with bolts 40, it has caused problems such as an increase in parts and costs. In order to overcome the above problems, the precision of the screw fitting between the lens element and the bracket can be improved to form a perfect fit. However, the higher the accuracy of the mold, the higher the cost. If the cost is considered as a mold in engineering 1, it will not be a good solution. Therefore, in consideration of cost-effectiveness, in this technology field, there has always been a need for a newly designed lens positioning device in order to overcome the paper standard in the conventional art and apply the national standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) --------- ki ------- Order --------- line (please, Yuan "-Note on the back then fill out this (Page) A7 434451 B7_ 5. Explanation of the invention () Various shortcomings. 5-3 Object and Summary of the Invention: The object of the present invention is to provide a device which can be used in a digital camera and can accurately position a lens. Another object of the present invention is to provide a lens positioning device capable of adjusting the focus position of a lens after the digital camera is manufactured. The invention discloses an adjustable lens positioning device used in a digital camera, which includes a lens element, a bracket, a positioning rod and other components. The sharp-point element is a bolt-like structure composed of a screw portion and a screw cap portion. The outer edge of the screw cap part has a sawtooth or concave-convex outline, while the screw part has a hollow tube inside, and a lens is embedded in the tube to focus the light through the hollow tube for imaging. The lens element can be screwed into the bracket through the screw, and its vertical height can be adjusted to focus on the light sensor. The positioning lever is located on the bracket and protrudes toward the outer edge of the screw cap portion. Since the contour of the positioning rod matches the toothed outer edge of the screw cap part, by engaging the gap between the toothed outer edge, the rotational movement of the lens element can be restricted 3 and the lens needs to be adjusted again When the focal length of the component is loosened, it is only necessary to loosen the restraint of the positioning rod, and rotate and adjust the lens positioning component. 5-4 Schematic description: This paper size applies to China's National Standard (CN'S) Al specification (210 X 297 mm), li: ------ order --------- line (please first (Read the notice on the back-please fill in this page)
