Support frame and image capturing device

Abstract

A support frame adapted for containing a first lens and a second lens, and the support frame includes a body and a first extension bottom wall. The body has a first opening penetrating through the body, a second opening penetrating through the body, a first annular side wall surrounding the first opening, and a second annular side wall surrounding the second opening. The first lens and the second lens are respectively disposed in the first opening and the second opening. The first extension bottom wall integratedly extends from an inner side of the first annular side wall. When the first lens is disposed in the first opening, the first lens is located on the first extension bottom wall. The first extension bottom wall has a first through hole. The first lens corresponds to the first through hole. An image capturing device is further provided.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims the priority benefit of U.S. provisional application Ser. No. 62 / 551,203, filed on Aug. 28, 2017. The entirety of the above-mentioned patent application is hereby incorporated by reference herein and made a part of this specification.BACKGROUNDTechnical Field[0002]The invention relates to a support frame and an image capturing device. More particularly, the invention relates to a support frame featuring favorable structural strength and an image capturing device having the support frame.Description of Related Art[0003]Along with technology advancement, demand for image capturing devices grows day by day. In an image capturing device, a carrier carrying a lens module is constituted by a frame body and a carrying base located at a bottom portion of the frame body most of the time. Nevertheless, the frame body and the carrying base are bonded to each other through adhesive glue. When being applied by an external force,...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention provides a support frame that is strong and stable, and an image capturing device that uses this support frame. This support frame is made from a single piece of material that has been formed and does not require additional steps to fix it. This means that the image capturing device can be more tolerant and have less movement, resulting in higher quality images.

Problems solved by technology

When being applied by an external force, the bonded frame body and the carrying base may be easily deformed owning to insufficient stiffness.

Further, alignment tolerance between the bonded frame body and the carrying base is often generated owing to the process and materials of the two, as such, it is difficult to increase the yield of the image capturing device using the carrier.
