TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of digital low-light devices; in particular to an ICMOS integrated tube structure and an integrated tube assembly method. BACKGROUND
[0002] ICMOS (intensified complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor) is an important imaging device in the field of digital low-light technology, and has significant use in the fields of military and scientific research. ICMOS is mainly composed of an ICMOS single tube, a back-end circuit board and a shell. According to the different models and sizes of the ICMOS single tube, the sizes of the front lens cover, the shell and the back cover to be assembled are also different.
[0003] The front lens cover, the shell and the back cover are important structures for connecting and fixing the ICMOS single tube and the back-end circuit board, and the integrated tube of the assembled ICMOS has size consistency and performance stability. In addition, the ICMOS single tube and the back-end circuit board are sealed and protected.
[0004] At present, there is no suitable shell and better assembly scheme for ICMOS. At present, the ICMOS single tube, the back-end circuit board and the shell are connected and fixed together by screws, and then directly inserted into the shell. The following problems exist in use:
[0005] (1) Because the ICMOS single tube, the back-end circuit board and the shell are connected by screws, and at least 4 screws are required, in order to tap the threads, the screw position is reserved, and the length is increased by at least 8 mm and the width is increased by at least 8 mm. This increases the length and width of the entire device by 8 mm, which does not meet the market demand for small size and light weight of ICMOS;
[0006] (2) There is a large gap between the front lens cover, the shell and the back cover after being connected by screws, and the sealing effect is not achieved. When ICMOS is used in a humid environment such as southwest China, water vapor can easily enter, causing damage to the device. SUMMARY
[0007] The purpose of the present application is to provide an ICMOS integrated tube structure and an integrated tube assembly method, and the technical problems to be solved include:
[0008] (1) A new front lens cover structure is adopted to ensure that the coupled ICMOS single tube can be smoothly assembled;

[0015] The front lens cover is used for assembling the ICMOS single tube and cooperates with the shell.
[0016] The inner wall of the shell has a convex rib cooperating with the second circuit board (with connector) and the third circuit board (with connector), and is slightly larger than the outer shape size of the second circuit board (with connector) and the third circuit board (with connector) to form a clearance fit.
[0017] The second circuit board (with connector) and the third circuit board (with connector) have the same outer shape size, are connected by the connectors between the circuit boards, and have the same R-shaped grooves on the four peripheral edges.
[0018] The back cover has a top edge on the inner side, which is consistent with the shape of the gold wire of the third circuit board (with connector), and the third circuit board (with connector) is pressed tightly through the top edge after assembly.
[0019] The application further provides an assembly method of the integrated tube structure of ICMOS, comprising the following steps:
[0020] In the first step, the front lens cover, the shell and the back cover are cleaned and dried before assembly, and epoxy resin glue is prepared.
[0021] In the second step, a thin layer of epoxy resin glue is coated on the inner wall of the cylinder at the front end of the front lens cover, then the ICMOS single tube 1 is taken and the image tube part is slowly rotated into the front end of the front lens cover as a cylinder, at the same time, the R-shaped grooves on the four edges of the circuit board at the rear end are cooperated with the inner wall convex ribs of the square structure at the rear end of the front lens cover, the ICMOS single tube is pressed to the bottom of the cylinder at the front end of the front lens cover, and the above components are placed in an oven for baking to accelerate curing.
[0022] In the third step, after the cured components are taken out of the oven, the second circuit board (with connector) is inserted into the connector of the circuit board of the ICMOS single tube through the connector, and the second circuit board (with connector) and the third circuit board (with connector) are assembled by the same method, and the geometric centers of the first circuit board, the second circuit board (with connector) and the third circuit board (with connector) of the ICMOS single tube are adjusted on the same straight line.
[0023] Fourth step, in the front mirror cover square structure car thin processing coated with a layer of thin epoxy resin glue, and then the inner wall of the shell protruding rib alignment third circuit board (with connector) four sides on the R-type groove, from the third circuit board (with connector) slowly embedded in the shell, until the shell inner wall car thin with the front mirror cover square structure car thin completely nested fit, and then the above components placed vertically (front mirror cover on the upper, the shell in the lower) into the oven baking, accelerate the curing.
[0024] Fifth step, the above assembly after the components from the oven, in the rear cover inside coated with a layer of thin epoxy resin glue, and then slowly into the corresponding protruding rib four edges of the shell, pay attention to the pressure, and add appropriate counterweight, and then put into the oven baking, accelerate the curing.
[0025] Sixth step, after the epoxy resin glue curing and bonding, it is taken from the oven, with the air gun for cleaning, namely the completion of ICMOS whole tube shell assembly.
