本申请涉及光学设备技术领域,更具体地,涉及一种用于镜片的加热装置、具有加热装置的镜头以及制造具有加热装置的镜头的方法。
随着科学技术的发展,光学装置如车载镜头、光学镜头、光学灯罩等被越来越多的应用于人们的日常生活中。例如,为了提供汽车驾驶的舒适度和安全度,车载镜头在汽车的前视、后视、环视、内视、侧视等领域得到广泛的应用。同时,随着汽车技术的不断发展,汽车上所需的车载镜头的数量和性能得到大幅度的提高,对车载镜头的耐候性的要求也更加严苛。当车辆行驶在连续阴雨、冰霜或者冷热交替的环境下时,车载镜头的近物侧镜片的内外表面极易出现起雾或者结霜等现象,严重影响车载镜头的光学性能,危害人们的行车安全。
为保证行车安全,目前常用的手段主要是采用在车载镜头内设置发热元件的方式来加热蒸发镜片表面附着的水分或者预防起雾或者结霜等。例如直接使用电加热丝给镜头产品加热,达到除雾除霜的功能。
但是,由于电加热丝需要埋入镜片的内部以保持固定,因此,改变了相应镜片的原有结构,不仅导致镜头整体制造工艺难度加大,成本变高,而且破坏了相应镜片的强度,使得该镜片特别是在升温后容易碎裂,成像质量变差,无法维修。而且电加热丝本身也会出现发热效率低下,加热均匀性较差,安装复杂等问题。并且直接采用加热材质埋入镜片的结构,会出现镜头整体稳定性较弱,恶劣天气下耐候性较差等问题。因此,开发一种结构简单、热效率高、加热均匀,使用安全、耐候性强的镜头用除雾产品具有十分重要的意义。

图1A至图1C是根据本申请实施方式的具有加热装置的镜片的剖面图。如图1A至图1C所示,在本发明的一个实施方式中,第一镜片1000设置在镜头整体结构中,镜头整体结构中还包括镜筒以及其它的镜片,例如第二镜片2000。然而,本领域的技术人员应理解,在未背离本申请要求保护的技术方案的情况下,可改变镜头中包含的具有加热装置的镜片的数量或其他相关元件,来获得本说明书中描述的各个结果和优点。在上述镜筒中可包括用于固定镜片的侧壁,镜头中的每个镜片沿着镜头的轴向排列依次安装于镜筒内,每个镜片的边缘安装于镜筒的侧壁,其中可采用诸如在侧壁开槽搁置镜片边缘等多种方式,固定上述镜片于上述镜筒中。
考虑到镜头中靠近物侧的最外侧的第一镜片最容易受到诸如雨雪环境、低温环境、高温环境等外界环境中温度、气候的影响,在镜片表面凝聚水分。因此,可选地,在镜头中位于物侧方的第一镜片,例如本实施方式中的第一镜片1000,设置为具有加热装置的镜片,而其他镜片,例如本实施方式中的第二镜片2000,由于受到外界环境的影响小,不易在镜片表面凝聚水分,可选择普通镜片或者具有加热装置的镜片。
如图1A所示,第一镜片1000由透明材料制成的镜片本体构成,镜片本体具有相对的第一面1100和第二面1200,第一面1100和第二面1200用于使得用于成像的光线穿过。如图1A所示,第一面1100和第二面1200可具有大致为弧形的轮廓,并且第一面1100的半径大于第二面的半径并且隔开预定的距离。在本文中,连接第一面1100和第二面1200的部分被称为边缘1300,边缘1300包括从第一面1100延切割延伸的面1310a被称为“上端面”1310a,第二面1200延切割延伸的面1310b被称为“下端面”1310b(在下文中,用端面1310指代上端面1310a和下端面1310b),以及大致与上端面1310a和下端面1310b垂直并延伸连接至第二面1200的面1320被称为“侧面”1320。
在边缘1300处的端面1310可设置加热装置1400。其中,加热装置1400可以是陶瓷加热环加热装置1410(如图1A所示)也可以是聚酰亚胺PI加热膜加热装置1420(如图4A所示)。然而,本领域的技术人员应理解,在未背离本申请要求保护的技术方案的情况下,可改变包含加热装置的镜片中加热装置的类型,来获得本说明书中描述的各个结果和优点,例如加热装置1400可以是铸铝加热器、电伴热带、云母加热片等不同的装置中的一种或几种。
当镜头受到外界环境的影响,如高温环境、低温环境、高温环境、雨雪环境等,会在镜片的表面凝结水分,安装了具有加热装置1400的第一镜片1000的镜头,其加热装置1400可通过热传导或者热辐射的方式向第一镜片1000传递热量,蒸发或者驱散水分,有效地提高镜头整体的耐候性和可靠性。
在图1A至图1H中,以陶瓷加热环加热装置1410为例详细描述加热装置1400的结构和工作过程。陶瓷加热环加热装置1410(以下简称加热装置1410)可设置于边缘1300的处的端面1310,即加热装置1410可设置于边缘1300的处的上端面1310a处(如图1A所示)或下端面1310b处(如图1B所示)。
如图1C所示,加热装置1410还可设置在第一镜片1000在边缘1300处的侧面1320;或者加热装置1410还可同时设置在第一镜片1000在边缘1300处的端面1310处(上端面1310a处或下端面1310b处)和侧面1320处,例如图1D所示加热装置1410同时设置在上 端面1310a和侧面1320处,如图1E所示加热装置1410同时设置在下端面1310b和侧面1320处,或者如图1F所示加热装置1410同时设置在上端面1310a、下端面1310b以及侧面1320处。
加热装置1400可包括发热元件,发热元件可以是电加热丝,该电加热丝的温感电阻拥有较大的电阻温度系数(TCR),供电后,发热元件的温感电阻值会随着环境温度的上升变大,在同样的电压输入下,当环境温度较低时,加热装置1400的功率较大,可以实现快速升温;当环境温度较高时,发热元件的温感电阻值增大,加热装置1400的功率减小,如此,可保证加热装置1400的温度不会过高。因此,在供电后,加热装置1400可加热第一镜片1000,使得第一镜片1000的温度升高,从而加速蒸发或者加速驱散附着于第一镜片1000中第一面1100和第二面1200的水分如雾、霜、水滴或者冰等。同时,第一镜片1000还可通过供电后的加热装置1400加热,预防第一镜片1000中第一面1100和第二面1200凝聚水分,防止对镜头出现不清晰或者盲区等情况,保证第一镜片1000成像的可靠性。
进一步地,加热装置1400产生的热量可通过直接或间接接触的方式传递到第一镜片1000。首先,与加热装置1400紧密固定的第一镜片1000的边缘1300通过热传导的方式均匀地接受到加热装置1400产生的热量,然后,上述热量通过热传导和热辐射的方式被均匀地从边缘1300向第一镜片1000的中心扩散,通过这种方式,热量扩散的更均匀,可有效地消除第一镜片1000中第一面1100和第二面1200的水分,避免第一镜片1000出现局部过热的情况。
加热装置1400可以是类环形结构,该类环形结构的轮廓与第一镜片1000的边缘1300的轮廓相匹配,以使加热装置1400能够紧密地固定于第一镜片1000的边缘1300。然而,本领域的技术人员应理解,在未背离申请要求保护的技术方案的情况下,可改变加热装置1400的形状和结构,来获得本说明书中描述的各个结果和优点。
值得一提的是,加热装置1400的类环形结构的截面形状可以是圆形、长方形、梯形、台阶形等,可根据实际需要,在未背离申请要求保护的技术方案的情况下,改变加热装置1400的截面形状,以获得本说明书中描述的各个结果和优点。
加热装置1400中的发热元件(未示出)用于产生装置1400所需的热量,以提供给固定加热装置1400的第一镜片1000。其可以是金属加热丝,如镍铁丝、铁铬铝丝、镍铬丝等。可选地,发热元件可包含一个或多个上述电加热丝。即,可改变发热元件的形状、结构或材质,来获得本说明书中描述的各个结果和优点。
进一步地,在各个镜片之间还可包括机构件1500,例如,机构件1500可保证镜头中例如第一镜片1000与第二镜片2000之间保持相距不变的安全间隙。在本申请中,其可直接设置为陶瓷加热环加热装置。如图1G所示,加热装置1410还可邻近于机构件1500进行设置,即,设置于第一镜片1000的下端面1310b与镜头整体结构中的密封件1600之间;或者如图1C所示,加热装置1410可设置于第一镜片1000与镜头的侧壁之间;或者如图1H所示,加热装置1410可直接替代机构件1500,起到间隔相邻镜片的作用,设置于第一镜片1000的下端面1310b与镜头整体结构中的密封件1600之间。
图2A至图2F是根据本申请实施方式的具有加热装置1400的第一镜片1000的边缘1300的缺口槽1330的剖面图。如图2A至图2F所示,为了更方便有效地安装加热装置1400,可在第一镜片1000的边缘1300的外侧设置容纳加热装置1400的缺口槽1330。加热装置1400设置于缺口槽1330内,并固定在缺口槽1330的内壁,缺口槽1330可以是矩形缺口槽、三角形缺口槽或者圆弧形缺口槽,在此不受限制,只要能增大加热装置1400与第一镜片1000 的接触面积均在本发明的保护范围之内。
此外,如图2A至图2E所示,缺口槽1330可设置在第一镜片1000在边缘1300的端面1310处,如图2A所示缺口槽1330设置在下端面1310b处,如图2B所示缺口槽1330设置在下端面1310b处,并设置为具有台阶状的矩形槽,如图2C所示缺口槽1330设置在上端面1310a处;如图2D和图2E所示,当加热装置1400设置在端面1310处的缺口槽1330内时,可沿着侧面1320的方向延伸。如图2F所示,缺口槽1330可设置在第一镜片1000在边缘1300的侧面1320处。如图2A至图2F所示,缺口槽1330以矩形缺口槽为例,然而,本领域的技术人员应理解,在未背离申请要求保护的技术方案的情况下,可改变缺口槽1330的形状和结构,来获得本说明书中描述的各个结果和优点。
图3是根据本申请实施方式的固定元件1402在镜头中的位置示意图。如图3所示,在本申请的一个实施方式中,加热装置1400还可包括固定元件1402。固定元件1402可以是任何能够使得加热装置1400固定的元件,用于将加热装置1400固定到镜头中的第一镜片1000中。通过固定元件1402,加热装置1400能够紧密地固定在缺口槽1330的内壁,从而不会脱离第一镜片1000的边缘1300,能够始终接触地传递热量至边缘1300。
在本申请的一个实施方式中,固定元件1402可以是一种具有良好导热性能的双面胶,既固定元件1402可以是导热胶水或导热胶带的一种或多种。当固定元件1402是导热性能良好的导热胶水或导热胶带的时候,其粘结于加热装置1400与第一镜片1000的边缘1300之间,使得加热装置1400能够紧密固定于第一镜片1000的边缘1300。在本申请的另一实施方式中,固定元件1402也可以是一种弹性元件,其可在压缩状态下放置在边缘1300处,当第一镜片1000被固定于镜头中的侧壁时,该弹性元件可依靠侧壁支撑力产生的弹力将加热装置1400紧密的固定于第一镜片1000的边缘1300,从而使加热装置1400能够直接接触地利用热传导向第一镜片1000的边缘1300传递热量。然而,本领域的技术人员应理解,在未背离申请要求保护的技术方案的情况下,可改变弹性元件的设置位置,来获得本说明书中描述的各个结果和优点。例如,可以在第一镜片1000与第二镜片2000之间设置该弹性元件。
在本申请的一个实施方式中,固定元件1402也可以是一种具有良好导电性能的双面胶,既固定元件1402可以是导电胶水或导电胶带的一种或多种。当固定元件1402是导电胶水或导电胶带的时候,其粘结于加热装置1400与镜片100的边缘1300之间,使得加热装置1400能够紧密固定于第一镜片1000的边缘1300。
上述固定元件1402还可以是镜头本身的锁紧元件,例如外压圈。
在镜头系统中,加热装置1400通过固定元件1402可固定在镜片与镜筒壁之间或固定于相邻的镜片之间,例如第一镜片1000与第二镜片2000之间或固定于镜片与隔圈之间。
在本申请的实施方式中,加热装置1400可选用陶瓷加热环加热装置1410。陶瓷本身的材质稳定,可耐受各种外部环境,由陶瓷材料制成的陶瓷加热环加热装置1410,整体具有较高的可靠性。另外,陶瓷本身具有良好的导热性和绝缘性,可对发热元件起到完善的保护作用,并且由于其制作成本低廉、外观易加工,因此陶瓷加热环加热装置1410可根据使用需求制定其外形尺寸,又可根据第一镜片1000的实际形状,制定其外部形状,以保证陶瓷加热环加热装置1410能够和待加热的第一镜片1000具有较大面积的接触,有效地提高热能的利用率。
在本申请的另外一个实施方式中,加热装置1400可以是聚酰亚胺PI加热膜加热装置1420。聚酰亚胺膜是是一种半透明的金属柔性电热膜,由于其在一些不平整的面上可改变形状,因此,聚酰亚胺膜不但可以保证与第一镜片1000的端面1310或侧面1320较好的贴合; 同时,还能保证其与待加热第一镜片1000的接触面积足够大。而且,聚酰亚胺膜本身的热传导效率很高,所以其能够在保护发热元件的同时,大幅度地将发热元件产生的热量传递到紧密固定的第一镜片1000。另外,聚酰亚胺膜的厚度可以低至例如0.1mm,占用空间非常小。
图4A至图4I是根据本申请另一实施方式的具有聚酰亚胺加热膜加热装置的第一镜片1000的剖面图。在图4A至图4I中分别有对镜片部位G、H、I、J、K、L、M和N进行十倍(10:1)放大后的局部示意结构图,如图4A所示,在本申请的一个实施方式中,聚酰亚胺(PI)加热膜加热装置1420(以下简称加热装置1420)的内部结构可分布为PI膜1421+双面胶1422+发热元件+双面胶1422+PI膜1421的三明治结构。即,发热元件设置在双层聚酰亚胺PI膜1421之间,发热元件与每个聚酰亚胺PI膜1421通过双面胶1422粘结。双面胶1422可选用导热胶水、导热胶带、导电胶水、以及导电胶带中的一种或多种。
相同地,在本实施方式中,如图4A所示,加热装置1420可设置于第一镜片1000在边缘1300的上端面1310a处;如图4B所示加热装置1420设置在下端面1310b处;如图4C所示加热装置1420设置于边缘1300处的侧面1320处,且可位于边缘1300与镜头的侧壁之间;如图4D所示加热装置1420同时设置于边缘1300处的上端面1310a和侧面1320处;如图4E所示加热装置1420同时设置于边缘1300处的下端面1310b和侧面1320处;图4F所示加热装置1420同时设置于边缘1300处的上端面1310a、下端面1310b和侧面1320处;如图4G所示加热装置1420设置于第一镜片1000的边缘1300与第二镜片2000的边缘之间;如图4H所示加热装置1420设置于第一镜片1000的边缘1300的下端面1310b与密封件1600之间;以及如图4I所示加热装置1420设置于第一镜片1000的边缘1300的下端面1310b与密封件1600和第二镜片2000的边缘之间。
图5A是根据本申请另一实施方式的具有聚酰亚胺加热膜加热装置的镜片的剖面图。图5B是对图5A中镜片的部位Y进行十倍(10:1)放大后的局部示意结构视图,如图5B所示,在本申请的一个实施方式中,加热装置1420的内部结构可分布为PI膜1421+双面胶1422+发热元件+双面胶1422+PI膜1421+耐热硬质载体1423的夹层结构。即,PI膜1421和耐热硬质载体1423可组合成硬质载体聚酰亚胺膜,使得包括该硬质载体聚酰亚胺膜的保护单元1405具有良好的刚性,便于将加热装置1400安装在第一镜片1000的时候,能够对位准确,实现自动化生产。而该多层结构中,使用到的双面胶1422同样可以选用导热胶水、导热胶带、导电胶水以及导电胶带中的一种或多种。
相同地,在本实施方式中,如图5A所示,加热装置1420可设置于第一镜片1000在边缘1300的端面1310处(上端面1310a处或下端面1310b处);第一镜片1000在边缘1300的侧面1320处(如图4C);同时设置在第一镜片1000在边缘1300的端面1310(上端面1310a处或下端面1310b处)和侧面1320处(如图4D、4E和4F所示);第一镜片1000的边缘1300与第二镜片2000的边缘之间(如图4G);第一镜片1000的边缘1300的下端面1310b与密封件1600之间(如图4H所示);以及第一镜片1000的边缘1300的下端面1310b与密封件1600和第二镜片2000的边缘之间(如图4I所示)。
进一步地,在本申请的另一实施方式中,加热装置1400还可包括供能单元(未示出)。供能单元可以是如电池或电源等的电力设备,用以向发热元件提供电能。
进一步地,在本申请的另一实施方式中,加热装置1400还可包括导电元件1403,根据保护单元1405是陶瓷环还是聚酰亚胺PI膜,导电元件1403的设计结构略有不同。

参考图9,其中示出了本申请另一方面实施方式的镜头模组的结构示意图。如图9所示,根据本申请示例性实施方式的镜头模组可包括镜头主体11、加热器12和结构件13、控制器14。镜头主体11相当于前述的镜头整体结构。加热器12用于生成加热镜头主体11的热量。控制器14用于生成控制加热器12操作以产生热量的控制命令。结构件13与镜头主体11固定连接并用于将控制器14生成的控制命令传输给加热器12。具体地,结构件13与镜头主体11可刚性地连接。
在一些实施方式中,镜头主体11由至少一个透镜112以及能够容纳至少一个透镜的镜筒111构成,通常固定于汽车车体上,辅助驾驶员获得清晰的视野,同时也可为交通事故的判定提供可靠的凭证。因此,镜头主体11的成像质量至关重要。为了使镜头主体11在寒冷潮湿的环境中能够自动去雾除冰,保证成像质量,本实施方式在镜头主体11上固定安装有加热器12。
在一些实施方式中,镜头主体11的镜筒111上设置有突出部,突出部为一个围绕镜筒111周向设置的环形平台,且突出部的直径略大于镜筒111的直径。突出部可以是法兰,可以用于在镜头主体11与控制器14连接时限位或者固定。
在一些实施方式中,加热器12可设置于镜筒内,并直接作用于透镜。加热器12可包括加热单元123和导电单元。示例性地,加热单元123设置于透镜122的边缘或非光学区;导电单元包括至少两个供电线120。加热单元123可由温度传感器(未示出)和发热元件(未示出)构成。温度传感器实时检测镜头主体11所处的环境的温度,并将检测到的温度值以电信号的形式传递到控制器14。控制器14将接收到的温度值与预定的阈值进行比较。当环境温度低于第一预设阈值时,控制器14以电信号的形式向加热器12发出加热命令。响应于接收到控制器14发出的加热命令,加热器12中的发热元件开始加热工作以生成热量。
进一步地,温度传感器实时感应镜头主体11的环境温度超过第二预设阈值时,即,证明透镜112在当前环境温度下不会存在起雾或结冰的现象时,控制器14向加热器12发出停止加热的命令。当加热器12接收到控制器14发出的停止加热的命令时,发热元件停止加热。
加热器12与控制器14需要通过电连接的方式实现上述电信号的交互,那么必然需要将加热器12的供电线120与控制器14的输出端141进行连接。然而,加热器12的供电线120位置受加热器12和镜头主体11的结构和位置关系的约束,无法根据控制器14输出端141 的位置进行调整,而且控制器14的输出端141位置不固定,为了避免由于加热器12供电线120引出位置和控制器14输出端141位置不匹配造成的安装困难,本实施方式提供了用于连通加热器12和控制器14的结构件13。
图10为图9的区域A1的放大图;图11为本申请示例性实施方式的镜头模组中结构件的结构示意图。如图10和图11所示,结构件13包括第一导电端131、第二导电端132和结构件主体133。第一导电端131可例如设置于结构件主体133的一侧,并具与控制器14电连接的正电极1311或负电极1312;第二导电端132可设置于结构件主体133的另一侧,并具有与加热器12电连接的正电极1321或负电极1322。示例性地,第一导电端131的正电极1311或负电极1312是刚性杆,例如铜杆。
具体地,为了使控制器14与加热器12能够连通,第一导电端131设置在与控制器14输出端141位置匹配的位置处。示例性地,控制器14包括印制电路板(Printed Circuit Board,PCB)。由于控制器14的输出端141位置根据具体型号的不同而随机设置,因此需要先精准确定控制器14输出端141的位置,并在结构件主体133上找到与控制器14输出端141位置匹配的位置,继而将第一导电端131通过例如焊接等方式固定连接在结构件主体133上。
第一导电端131可用于在结构件13与控制器14连接时定位。使得镜头模组的组装更加准确、方便。
在一些实施方式中,第一导电端131与控制器14输出端141的连接方式可包括:焊接互通、刺破连接。如图9所示,第一导电端131与控制器14输出端141焊接互通,第一导电端131贯穿控制器14输出端141,并焊接固定,保证其连通的稳定性。
参考图9和图11,控制器14可视为第一器件,镜头主体11上设置的加热器12可视为第二器件。第一器件和镜头主体11需要安装到一起,其中,由于第一器件的种类、型号等不同,第一器件上的输出端141的位置不同。借助本申请提供的结构件13,可以实现第一器件和第二器件在安装时准确定位。
第一端子(第一导电端131)、结构件主体133和第二端子(第二导电端132)固定连接。具体地,固定连接可以是刚性的。第一端子的位置响应于结构件主体133与第一器件的固定位置而设置,第二端子的位置响应于结构件主体133与第二器件的固定位置而设置,并且第一端子和第二端子通过结构件主体133通信连接。进一步地,控制器14可用作加热器12的外部电源,进而向加热器12供电。
结构件13用于将第一器件输出的命令传输给第二器件。第一器件可以向第二器件传输信号,例如电信号或光信号。结构件13还有利于增强第一器件和第二器件安装后的牢固性。其中,第一端子具有刚性,其材料可以是导电材料。第一端子也可以是介电材料的基体中设置导电材料的导电通道,或者设置折光材料的光通道。进而第一端子与第一器件实现电连接或其他方式的通信连接。同时第二端子与第二器件通信连接。
示例性地,结构件主体13具有安装轴线L。结构件主体13可以具有沿安装轴线L转动后的多个位置,并可用于与镜头主体11连接。结构件主体13也可以只有一个安装位置,当结构件主体13与镜头主体11固定连接后,安装轴线L可以与镜头主体11的光轴重合。
示例性地,第一端子是刚性排针。刚性排针可以是实心的也可以是中空的。刚性排针在安装至第一器件时具有良好的位置度。当刚性排针用于导电时,第一器件的输出端可以是焊盘孔。刚性排针与焊盘孔刚性连接并可电连接。进一步地,可以将刚性排针与焊盘孔焊接。
图12为本申请示例性实施方式的镜头模组中第一导电端的形状示意图;图13为本申请另一种示例性实施方式的镜头模组中第一导电端的形状示意图。
在一些实施方式中,为了使第一导电端131与控制器14输出端141更易于固定连接,如图12所示,将第一导电端131设置为多边形针状。或者如图13所示,将第一导电端131设置为矩形片状。可选地,第一导电端131的形状可为矩形片状和多边形针状的组合。当然,第一导电端131的伸出长度较短。多边形针状可为圆形针状、矩形针状、六边形针状等。另外,第一导电端131必然为金属材质。这种较短的针状或者片状金属材质连接端与供电线120相比,具备较强的刚性,易于与控制器14输出端141连通及固定。
在一些实施方式中,第二导电端132设置在结构件主体133的一侧,且位于与第一导电端131不同的一侧。第二导电端132与结构件主体的第一电接触区域的形状可为:点状、闭环状或断环状中的至少之一。由于第二导电端132的电极包括正电极1321和负电极1322,因此结构件主体与第二导电端132的第一电接触区域也分为第一正电极区域1331和第一负电极区域1332。
图14为本申请示例性实施方式的镜头模组中结构件主体的结构图;图15是图14的俯视图;图16为本申请另一示例性实施方式的镜头模组中结构件主体的结构图;图17是图16的俯视图;图18为本申请示例性实施方式的镜头模组中结构件主体的结构图;以及图19是图18的俯视图。
如图14和图15所示,第二导电端132与结构件主体133的第一电接触区域1331~1332的形状为闭环状。结构件主体133与第二导电端132的第一电接触区域1331~1332设置在结构件主体133自身的第二端面1333上。本实施例的第二端面1333可以是背离控制器的端面。为了配合结构件主体133的第一电接触区域1331~1332的位置,第二导电端132与结构件主体133电接触时,也固定在结构件主体133的第二端面1333上。当镜头主体11中设置的加热器12的位置根据不同的型号而具有不确定的位置,进而供电线120的位置不同时,结构件13的第二端面1333上任何位置都可用来电连接供电线120并固定。该结构件13的设置使得加热器12与控制器14的连接更加便利。第一导电端131可设置于第一端面1336,并与第二导电端133电连接。
进一步地,结构件主体133可包括外周面1334和内周面1335。结构件主体133在镜头主体11上的安装位置可以调整,例如结构件主体133设置在镜头主体11的光轴的径向外侧、并与镜头主体11一体成型,此时结构件主体133可以没有内周面1335。
如图16和图17所示,第二导电端132与结构件主体133的第一电接触区域1331~1332的形状为闭环状。结构件主体133与第二导电端132的第一电接触区域1331~1332设置在结构件主体133自身的内周面1335上,为了配合结构件主体133的第一电接触区域1331~1332的位置,第二导电端132与结构件主体133电接触时,也固定在结构件主体133的内周面1335上。当镜头主体11中设置的加热器12的位置根据不同的型号而具有不确定的位置,进而供电线120的位置不同时,结构件13的内周面1335上任何位置都可用来电连接供电线120并固定。该结构件13的设置使得加热器12与控制器14的连接更加便利。第一导电端131可设置于第一端面1336,并与第二导电端133电连接。
如图18和图19所示,第二导电端132与结构件主体133的第一电接触区域的形状为闭环状。结构件主体133的第一正电极区域1331设置在结构件主体133的第二端面1333上,第一负电极区域1332设置在结构件主体133的内周面1335上。为了配合结构件主体133的第一电接触区域的位置,第二导电端132与结构件主体133电接触时,也将正电极1321 设置在结构件主体133的第二端面1333上,并与正电极区域1331固定连接。同样地,第二导电端132的负电极1322将设置在结构件主体133的内周面1335上,并与第一负电极区域1332固定连接。当镜头主体11中设置的加热器12的位置根据不同的型号而具有不确定的位置,进而供电线120的位置不同时,结构件13的内周面1335上任何位置都可用来电连接负电极供电线并固定;结构件13的第二端面1333上任何位置都可用来电连接正电极供电线并固定。该结构件13的设置使得加热器12与控制器14的连接更加便利。第一导电端131可设置于第一端面1336,并与第二导电端133电连接。
结构件主体133的第一正电极区域1331和第一负电极区域1332的位置可以根据需求进行置换。对应地,第二导电端132的正电极1321和负电极1322的位置也随之置换,在此不做限定。
当然,结构件主体133的第一电接触区域1331~1332的形式受限于结构件主体133的结构形状,以致第二导电端132的每个电极的设置个数及构成的形状也受限于结构件主体133的结构形状。示例性地,第二导电端132的形状包括:多边形针状、矩形片状或多边形针状与矩形片状的组合。
示例性地,第一导电端131设置在结构件主体133的第一端面1336处。具体地,固定于对应于控制器14的输出端141的位置。第一导电端131可以是排针等,通过电接触、暗线与第一电接触区域电连接。示例性地,结构件主体133包括导电部,导电部沿安装轴线的两端分别作为第一电连接区域和第二电连接区域。
在示例性实施方式中,结构件主体133上设置有第二电接触区域,第二电接触区域可包括第二正电极区域和第二负电极区域。第一导电端131的正电极1311可以设置在第二正电极区域,第一导电端131的负电极可以设置在第二负电极区域。
图20为本申请示例性实施方式的镜头模组中第二导电端与供电线的连接方式示意图;图21为第二导电端与加热器供电线连接示意图。
如图20所示,第二导电端132上设置有能够与加热器12的供电线120电接触的凹槽。在一些实施方式中,第二导电端132设置在结构件主体133上,且位于与第一导电端131不同的一侧。第二导电端132可通过焊接互通、刺破连接的方式与加热器连接。如图21所示,第二导电端132的凹槽直径略小于供电线120直径。具体地,供电线120由金属丝121和包裹金属丝121的绝缘外皮122构成。由于绝缘外皮122质地较软,易于刺破,因此当供电线120与第二导电端132连接时,供电线120的绝缘外皮122被第二导电端132刺破,使金属丝121暴露于第二导电端132的凹槽中,并被凹槽卡紧。必然地,第二导电端132为金属材质,当第二导电端132将金属丝121卡紧后,实现了结构件13和加热器12的固定连接。进一步地,结构件13和加热器12可通过电信号进行信息交互,避免了加热器12将供电线120以明线的方式引出镜头主体11外部,进而导致镜头模组的导线混乱,影响组装效率。
在一些实施方式中,本申请将结构件主体133设置在第一导电端131和第二导电端132之间,用于整合电信号传递线路,将电信号传递线路以暗线的方式设置在结构件主体133的内部,避免加热器12将供电线120以明线的方式引出镜头主体11外部,进而导致镜头模组的导线混乱,影响组装效率。
在一些实施方式中,结构件13通过结构件主体133固定于镜头主体11的上。
图22至图25为本申请示例性实施方式的镜头模组中结构件固定于镜头主体不同位置的示意图。其中,图22为结构件主体133嵌在镜头主体11外侧壁面的示意图。图23为结构件主体133嵌在镜头主体11底面的示意图。图24为结构件主体133嵌在镜头主体11突出 部的突出部分的侧边缘的示意图。图25为结构件主体133嵌在镜头主体11内孔的示意图。也就是说,结构件主体133可设置在镜头主体11的镜筒外壁面、底面、突出部的突出部分侧边缘或者内孔中,具体的设置位置根据其与控制器14的相对位置等进行选择,固定位置不受限制,更便于生产者根据需求进行选择。
在一些实施方式中,由于不同的镜头主体11的结构存在差异,为了配合不同镜头主体11的形状,结构件主体133的形状也可设置为多种样式。
图26至图29为本申请示例性实施方式的镜头模组中结构件主体形状示意图。其中,图26为结构件主体133为圆环形的结构示意图。图27为结构件主体133为矩环形的结构示意图。图28为结构件主体133为圆环形和切边形组合的结构示意图。图29为结构件主体133为断环形的结构示意图。也就是说,结构件主体133的形状可设置为圆环形、矩环形、圆环形和切边形组合、或断环形。当然结构件主体133的形状,需要根据镜头主体11的形状进行确定,使得结构件13与镜头主体11能够进行较为牢固的连接,避免由于形状的不切合,增大组装的难度。为了保证结构件13能够配合加热器13的供电线120位置、以及控制器14的输出端位置,结构件主体133的形状必然需要设置成环状,使得结构件13的导电端可在环状的结构件主体133周向任意位置进行固定。当然,若镜头主体11为其余形状,那么结构件主体133具体的环状形状也可随之设定,在此不做限制。
在一些实施方式中,镜头主体11与结构件主体133的固定方式可为:孔轴过盈配合、热铆固定、断环卡扣固定、卡勾配合、点胶固定和螺钉锁紧固定等。只要能够使得镜头主体11与结构件主体133固定牢靠,生产者可根据自身条件进行组装,具体固定方式不做限制。
进一步地,结构件主体133的两侧还用于固定导电端。由于加热器12的供电线120引出位置随机设定,同时控制器14的输出端位置也根据其不同型号随机设定,为了配合加热器12的供电线120引出位置和控制器14的输出端位置,本实施方式中,结构件主体133的导电端位置可根据实际情况进行固定安装。
图30为本申请示例性实施方式的镜头模组中第二导电端在结构件主体上的位置示意图;图31为本申请示例性实施方式的镜头模组中第一导电端在结构件主体上的位置示意图。具体地,如图30所示,第一角α为第二导电端132正负极之间的夹角。具体地,第一角α是两电极在光轴的垂面内相对光轴的夹角。为了配合处于不同位置的加热器12的供电线120引出位置,第一角α的度数在0度至360度之间调整,使得结构件13与加热器12之间的连通不受连接端位置的约束。
同样地,如图31所示,第二角β为第一导电端131正负极之间的夹角,为了配合处于不同位置的控制器14的输出端,第二角β的度数在0度至360度之间调整,使得结构件13与控制器14之间的连通不受连接端位置的约束。
在一些实施方式中,结构件主体133可选择塑料等质量较小的材质,使得在镜头模组中加入该结构件13后,镜头模组的整体重量没有明显增加。本实施方式提供的镜头模组属于一种光学装置,在不脱离本实施方式的教导下,也可获得其他类型的包括结构件13的光学装置。
图32为本申请示例性实施方式的镜头模组的制备方法流程图。
如图32所示,基于上述镜头模组,本申请还提供了一种镜头模组的制备方法1000,包括:

该镜头模组的制备方法1000应用于对上述实施方式中的镜头模组的制备,其中镜头模组的各个部件的具体实施方式详见上述对镜头模组实施方式的具体描述,在此不再赘述。
在一个实施方式中,结构件包括:结构件主体、第一导电端和第二导电端。其中,结构件主体包括第一电接触区域且第二导电端与第一电接触区域电连接。步骤S3包括:
将结构件主体与镜头主体固定连接。
将第二导电端与加热器电连接。具体地,根据加热器的供电线的位置,确定第二导电端的位置。进而将第二导电端与供电线固定连接并使第二导电端与加热器电连接。
将第二导电端固定于第一电接触区域中对应加热器的位置。
将第一导电端固定于第二电接触区域中对应控制器的输出端的位置,其中,第二导电端通过结构件主体与第一导电端电连接;
将第一导电端与控制器的输出端刚性地电连接,以从控制器接收控制命令。
示例性地,固定结构件主体时,可响应于镜头主体与加热器的固定连接位置而固定结构件主体,使第二导电端对应于供电线的位置。
示例性地,固定第一导电端时,可响应于镜头主体与控制器的固定连接位置而固定于前述的位置。
进一步地,可根据结构件主体、第一导电端和第二导电端的具体样式,通过对应的不同方式将结构件主体与镜头主体的连接、将第二导电端与加热器连接。
本申请的镜头模组的制备方法1000,根据控制器的输出端位置对结构件的第一导电端进行精准定位,以及根据加热器的供电线位置对结构件第二导电端进行精准定位,进而通过结构件将加热器和控制器连通,避免了现有技术中由于加热器供电线引出位置与控制器输出端位置不匹配而无法组装的情况,进而降低加热镜头与控制器的组装难度,提升加热镜头与控制器的组装效率和产能。另外,通过设置具有刚性导电端的结构件,将加热器与控制器连通,降低了加热器和控制器组装的难度,同时也避免了加热器供电线的不可控性,保障了加热器和控制器组装后的稳固性。

加热模块1300可设置于镜片部件1100的非光学区域。具体地,加热模块1300可设置于镜片部件1100中最靠近外界环境的镜片的非光学区域。例如,在图33所示的镜头1000中,加热模块1300可设置于靠近外界环境的第一镜片1110的非光学区域。将加热模块1300 设置于镜片部件1100的非光学区域,有利于在不影响光线传播的基础上,实现对镜头的除雾除霜作用。此外,将加热模块1300设置于镜片部件1100的非光学区域,可以有效避免镜头1000的整体结构过大,安装空间受限等问题。
