Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of depth information camera modules, and in particular to an electronic device with a floodlight and an assembly method thereof. Background Art
[0002] TOF camera module, namely Time of Flight, refers to the use of the sensor to emit modulated light, which is then reflected by an object. The sensor calculates the time difference or phase difference between the emission and reflection of the light to convert the distance of the photographed object. Combined with a conventional camera module, it can obtain the three-dimensional size and depth information of the photographed object.
[0003] The existing TOF camera module usually includes a floodlight and a receiving unit, wherein the floodlight is used to emit light of a specific wavelength, and the receiving unit receives light reflected from a photographed object. The TOF camera module can be installed in an electronic device body of the electronic device, and then work in conjunction with other camera modules to complete the acquisition of image information and depth information of the photographed object. In other words, the current production method of the electronic device with the TOF camera module requires assembling the complete TOF camera module and the electronic device body together.
[0004] The electronic device generally also carries other camera modules, such as a telephoto camera module, a mid-focus camera module and a wide-angle camera module. The TOF camera module also needs to be assembled in the electronic device together with the telephoto camera module, the mid-focus camera module or the wide-angle camera module without interfering with each other. Once the TOF camera module cannot work well with the telephoto module, the mid-focus camera module or the wide-angle camera module, the entire TOF camera module will be replaced or replaced with a matching camera module, which increases the cost.

[0081] Attached Figure 1 and attached Figure 2A A floodlight and an application method of the floodlight are shown. At least one of the floodlights 110 can be installed separately on an electronic device 1000. Figure 5A and attached Figure 5B .
[0082] Specifically, the floodlight 110 includes a projection component and a circuit board component 111, wherein the projection component includes a light-emitting element 112, wherein the light-emitting element 112 can emit light of a specific wavelength, and the light-emitting element 112 is supported on the circuit board component 111 and is conductively connected to the circuit board component 111.
[0083] The projection assembly may further include a bracket 113 and an optical auxiliary element 114, wherein the bracket 113 is supported on the circuit board assembly 111 and forms a light window for the light emitted by the light emitting element 112 to pass through, and the optical auxiliary element 114 is supported on the bracket 113 and is located in an optical path of the light emitting element 112 so that the light emitted by the light emitting element 112 can pass through the optical auxiliary element 114 and then be emitted to the outside.
[0084] The bracket 113 of the floodlight 110 can be integrally formed with the circuit board assembly 111, or integrally formed with the optical auxiliary element 114. The bracket 113 can also be fixed to the circuit board assembly 111 by bonding or the like, or the optical auxiliary element 114 can be fixed to the bracket 113 by bonding or the like.
[0085] The light emitting element 112 may be a VCSEL array that can emit modulated infrared light, or other light sources, such as LEDs, that can emit modulated lasers. The optical auxiliary element 114 may be an optical diffraction element that can change the light emission range and emission effect of the light emitting element 112.
[0086] The circuit board assembly 111 has a first conductive end 1110 and a second conductive end 1120, wherein the circuit board assembly 111 has an upper surface and a lower surface, wherein the upper surface and the lower surface are arranged opposite to each other, and the light emitting element 112 is supported on the upper surface of the circuit board assembly 111. The first conductive end 1110 and the second conductive end 1120 can be mutually conductive, at least a portion of the first conductive end 1110 is exposed at the upper surface of the circuit board assembly 111, the light emitting element 112 is conductively supported on the first conductive end 1110, and the second conductive end 1120 is exposed to the outside for connecting to other conductive components to conduct the electrical signal from the light emitting element 112 to the outside or to conduct the electrical signal toward the light emitting element 112.
[0087] The floodlight 110 further includes a flexible connector 115, wherein the flexible connector 115 is conductively connected to the circuit board assembly 111. Specifically, the second conductive end 1120 of the circuit board assembly 111 of the floodlight 110 is conductively connected to the flexible connector 115.
[0088] The floodlight 110 further includes at least one electronic component 116, wherein the electronic component 116 is conductively connected to the circuit board assembly 111. In this example, the electronic component 116 is located on the upper surface of the circuit board assembly 111.
[0089] The electronic component 116 may be a PD detector or an electronic component such as a capacitor and a resistor.
[0090] The floodlight 110 may further include a cover 117 , wherein the cover 117 is installed on the projection assembly to play a protective role.
[0091] Furthermore, the electronic device 1000 includes the electronic device body 1001 and a circuit board 1002, wherein the circuit board 1002 is disposed in the electronic device body 1000. The floodlight 110 can be connected to the circuit board 1002 of the electronic device 1000.
[0092] Specifically, the floodlight 110 is conductively connected to the circuit board 1002 of the electronic device 1000 through the flexible connector 115 .
[0093] The flexible connector 115 can be conductively connected to the circuit board 1002 of the electronic device 1000 through a conductive adhesive. The flexible connector 115 can also be conductively connected to the circuit board 1002 of the electronic device 1000 by being plugged into the circuit board 1002.
[0094] When the electronic device 1000 is installed with a receiving unit 120 to cooperate with the floodlight 110 to form the TOF camera module, the receiving unit 120 can be conductively connected to the floodlight 110 through the circuit board 1002 of the electronic device 1000, so that the floodlight 110 can work in cooperation with the receiving unit 120. Alternatively, the receiving unit 120 can be directly conductively connected to the circuit board assembly 111 of the floodlight 110, so that the receiving unit 120 and the floodlight 110 can work in cooperation.
[0095] In this way, the floodlight 110 does not need to form a TOF camera module together with the receiving unit 120 before being installed in the electronic device 1000. The floodlight 110 can be installed in the electronic device 1000 in advance or in a delayed manner relative to the receiving unit 120. The installation method of the TOF camera module can be more flexible. The receiving module of the TOF module and the floodlight 110 are respectively assembled in the electronic device 1000, which can effectively reduce the problems caused by the existing assembly of the floodlight 110 and the receiving module, for example, the assembly time can be reduced and the efficiency can be improved. Further, once the TOF camera module is found to be unqualified during the test process, the floodlight 110 and the receiving unit 120 can be tested separately to determine the reason. In the subsequent process, the floodlight 110 or the receiving unit 120 with problems can be replaced and tested separately, so that the entire TOF camera module does not need to be scrapped. In this way, it is beneficial to reduce production costs.
[0096] Furthermore, for a single floodlight 110 , the floodlight 110 can be assembled by integrally molding the bracket 113 on the circuit board assembly 111 , installing the light-emitting element 112 on the circuit board assembly 111 , and installing the optical auxiliary element 114 on the bracket 113 to form the floodlight 110 .
[0097] In some other embodiments of the present invention, the floodlight 110 can be assembled by installing the light emitting element 112 on the circuit board assembly 111 , installing the bracket 113 on the circuit board assembly 111 , and installing the optical auxiliary element 114 on the bracket 113 to form the floodlight 110 .
[0098] In some other embodiments of the present invention, the floodlight 110 may be assembled in the following manner: mounting the optical auxiliary element 114 on the bracket 113 and mounting the bracket 113 on the circuit board assembly 111 with the light emitting element 112 .
[0099] In some other embodiments of the present invention, the floodlight 110 may be assembled in the following manner: integrally forming the bracket 113 with the optical auxiliary element 114 and mounting the bracket 113 on the circuit board assembly 111 with the light-emitting element 112 .
[0100] Attached Figure 2B Another application of the floodlight 110 is shown. Figure 1 , Attachment Figure 5A and attached Figure 5B Specifically, the floodlight 110 includes a projection assembly and a circuit board assembly 111, wherein the projection assembly includes a light emitting element 112, wherein the light emitting element 112 can emit light of a specific wavelength, and the light emitting element 112 is supported by the circuit board assembly 111 and is conductively connected to the circuit board assembly 111.
[0101] The floodlight 110 may further include a bracket 113 and an optical auxiliary element 114, wherein the bracket 113 is supported on the circuit board assembly 111 and forms a light window for the light emitted by the light emitting element 112 to pass through, and the optical auxiliary element 114 is supported on the bracket 113 and is located in an optical path of the light emitting element 112 so that the light emitted by the light emitting element 112 can pass through the optical auxiliary element 114 and then be emitted to the outside.
[0102] The light emitting element 112 may be a VCSEL array that can emit modulated infrared light, or other light sources, such as LEDs, that can emit modulated lasers. The optical auxiliary element 114 may be an optical diffraction element that can change the light emission range and emission effect of the light emitting element 112.
[0103] The circuit board assembly 111 has a first conductive end 1110 and a second conductive end 1120, wherein the circuit board assembly 111 has an upper surface and a lower surface, wherein the upper surface and the lower surface are arranged opposite to each other, and the light emitting element 112 is supported on the upper surface of the circuit board assembly 111. The first conductive end 1110 and the second conductive end 1120 can be mutually conductive, at least a portion of the first conductive end 1110 is exposed at the upper surface of the circuit board assembly 111, the light emitting element 112 is conductively supported on the first conductive end 1110, and the second conductive end 1120 is exposed to the outside for connecting to other conductive components to conduct the electrical signal from the light emitting element 112 to the outside or to conduct the electrical signal toward the light emitting element 112.
[0104] Furthermore, the electronic device 1000 includes the electronic device body 1001 and a circuit board 1002, wherein the circuit board 1002 is disposed on the electronic device body 1001. The floodlight 110 can be installed on the circuit board 1002 of the electronic device 1000.
[0105] Specifically, the floodlight 110 is directly and conductively mounted on the circuit board 1002 of the electronic device 1000 , and the second conductive end 1120 of the circuit board assembly 111 of the floodlight 110 is directly and conductively connected to the circuit board 1002 of the electronic device 1000 .
[0106] In this way, the floodlight 110 can be very conveniently installed on the electronic device 1000. As long as the second conductive end 1120 of the floodlight 110 is aligned with the circuit board 1002 of the electronic device 1000, the floodlight 110 can be connected to the circuit board 1002 of the electronic device 1000. Preferably, the second conductive end 1120 is formed on the lower surface of the circuit board assembly 111 to facilitate the installation between the floodlight 110 and the electronic device 1000.
[0107] Furthermore, the second conductive end 1120 of the circuit board assembly 111 of the floodlight 110 can be directly and conductively fixed to the circuit board 1002 of the electronic device 1000 by means of conductive silver glue or welding. For example, the circuit board 1002 of the electronic device 1000 has at least one connecting solder joint, so that the second conductive end 1120 can be conductively connected to the circuit board 1002 of the electronic device 1000 through the connecting solder joint.
[0108] Attached Figure 2C Another application of the floodlight 110 is shown. Figure 5A and attached Figure 5B In this example, at least a portion of the electronic components 116 of the floodlight 110 are disposed on the circuit board 1002 of the electronic device 1000. When the floodlight 110 is conductively connected to the circuit board 1002 of the electronic device 1000, the electronic components 116 located on the circuit board 1002 can cooperate with the circuit board assembly 111 and the light-emitting element 112 of the floodlight 110 in the conductive state. This method is conducive to reducing the size of the floodlight 110. The electronic components 116 can be all disposed on the circuit board 1002 of the electronic device 1000, or part of them can be disposed on the circuit board 1002 of the electronic device 1000 and part of them can be disposed on the circuit board assembly 111 of the floodlight 110, such as an IC controller disposed on the circuit board 1002 of the electronic device 1000, so that the size of the floodlight 110 becomes smaller. When the IC controller located on the circuit board 1002 of the electronic device 1000 is turned on, the IC controller can be turned on to the circuit board assembly 111 and the light-emitting element 112 of the floodlight 110, thereby controlling the operation of the floodlight 110. In this example, the IC controller is turned on to the second conductive end 1120 of the circuit board assembly 111 of the floodlight 110 through the circuit board 1002 of the electronic device 1000, thereby being turned on to the first conductive end 1110 of the circuit board assembly 111 of the floodlight 110 through the second conductive end 1120, and then the IC controller can be turned on to the light-emitting element 112 through the first conductive end 1110.
[0109] Furthermore, the circuit board assembly 111 does not need to reserve sufficient installation space for the electronic components 116 , which is beneficial to reducing the size of the circuit board assembly 111 of the floodlight 110 and simplifying the manufacturing process of the circuit board assembly 111 .
[0110] Attached Figure 3A Another application of the floodlight 110 is shown. Figure 1 , Attachment Figure 3B , Attachment Figure 5A and attached Figure 5B , the floodlight 110 can be installed on an electronic device 1000 with a receiving unit 120 .
