Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of mobile phone camera button technology, and more specifically, to a method for manufacturing a mobile phone camera button and a mobile phone camera button. Background Technology

[0002] The new camera control button on the iPhone 16 series is a notable feature. This button is a touch-sensitive switch with a tap-to-focus feel, utilizing a high-precision pressure sensor for light taps and a capacitive sensor for touch interaction. This means users can control the camera with different pressure levels and gestures, such as tapping to focus, pressing firmly to shoot, sliding to adjust focus, and long-pressing to lock focus and exposure. This design makes operating the camera on the iPhone 16 more convenient and almost imperceptible, reducing the risk of accidental touches, especially in situations requiring quick photo capture, where the button's brilliance is quickly activated.

[0003] Phone cases are an important mobile phone accessory used to protect mobile phones from physical damage and daily wear and tear.

[0004] Currently, to avoid interfering with the operation of the camera control buttons, most existing phone cases cover the back and sides of the phone, leaving the camera control buttons exposed.

[0053] In order to realize the manufacturing of the camera button of the mobile phone, in the embodiment of the present application, according to the design, the substrate 500 is subjected to engraving and milling to form the button PCB 100. The button PCB 100 acts on the camera button of the mobile phone, for example, the substrate 500 can be subjected to engraving and milling to form a plurality of independent button PCBs 100. Each button PCB 100 that passes the detection can be assembled into the camera button of the mobile phone shell.

[0054] In the prior art, the newly added camera control button of the iPhone 16 series is a touch-sensitive switch with a point-and-click experience, supports a high-precision pressure sensor for light-touch gestures, and provides a capacitive sensor for touch interaction. This means that users can control the camera through different pressing forces and gestures, such as light-touch focusing, force-pressing shooting, sliding to adjust the focal length, long-pressing to lock focus and exposure, etc.

[0060] In order to realize the manufacturing of the camera key of the mobile phone, in the embodiment, the substrate 500 is subjected to an oxidation prevention treatment, so that the front surface and the back surface of the substrate 500 are provided with an oxidation prevention coating. For example, after the substrate 500 is subjected to a metallization treatment, the substrate 500 can be subjected to an oxidation prevention treatment, so that the front surface and the back surface of the substrate 500 are provided with a green solder mask protection coating. The green solder mask protection coating has excellent acid and alkali resistance, solvent resistance, high temperature resistance and other properties, and can prevent insulation deterioration and corrosion caused by external environmental factors such as dust and moisture. It can ensure the accuracy and reliability of the circuit on the key PCB plate 100, and can ensure the performance and durability of the camera key of the mobile phone.

[0061] Specifically, referring to Figure 1 , the step S400 can further include the following steps:

[0062] S500, a silica gel base 200 is provided, and the silica gel base 200 is bonded with the key PCB plate 100.

[0063] In order to realize the production of the camera key of the mobile phone, the silicone base 200 is provided and bonded with the key PCB 100. As described above, the camera key of the mobile phone has a pressure sensor, and the silicone base 200 is connected with the key PCB 100, and the key PCB 100 can realize the pressing operation through the elasticity of the silicone base 200 itself.

The glass sheet 400 mainly plays a role in protecting the key PCB 100, which can protect the key PCB 100 from physical damage and daily wear and tear, not only prolonging the service life of the key PCB 100, but also improving the user experience.

The aperture of the through hole 510 is 0.3-1.0mm, which is moderate in size, which can facilitate the electroplating of the hole-in metal conductive layer in the through hole 510, and at the same time does not affect the operation and use of the key PCB 100. Preferably, the aperture of the through hole 510 is 0.3mm, which is reasonable in structure and convenient to operate, and can realize the connection of the male unit metal copper conductive layer and the female unit metal copper conductive layer to realize the interactive control of the key PCB 100.

For example, when the key PCB 100 is slid, the sliding action of the camera key of the mobile phone can be operated to control the zooming function of the mobile phone when taking pictures.
