In order to fix the camera module 4, a fixing structure is also arranged on the base plate 1. The fixing structure includes a positioning block 7 and a positioning strip 8. The positioning block 7 is fixedly connected to the base plate 1. The positioning strip 8 is provided with a limiting groove 9 matching the camera module 4.

[0037] On the multi-station inspection machine for camera modules, multiple camera module 4 test software is required. Due to the high requirements of the test software on computer hardware and the limitation of window space, the number of module test software running on one host is limited and needs to be distributed on multiple computers. In this example, four test hosts are required for the sixteen stations. Each host can run four module test software at the same time. As a result, if you want to understand the module detection status, you need to switch back and forth between four computers, which causes great trouble to the operator. For this reason, the mold bases 2 in a horizontal row can be used as a test group, and sixteen rectangular frames can be drawn on the display screen of a host, such as Figure 5 As shown, the number of the corresponding module is set in the rectangular box, and. In the display screen, each rectangular box corresponds to a mold base 2, and the display screens of the rectangular boxes are blank, yellow, green, and red, respectively. Among them, blank means that there is no module in the station, yellow means that the station module is in a lit state and is performing a test, green means that the station module is closed and the test result passes, and red means that the station module is closed and the test result fails. The text in the middle is the test item being executed, which will be updated in real time with the execution of the test software, and the test result will be transmitted to the circuit board 5 and displayed by the indicator light 6. When it is necessary to view the detailed information of one of the modules, just click on the rectangular box corresponding to the module. This part is software development, and no feature protection is performed here. It is just used to illustrate the test environment applied to the test placement tooling in this application.

The second electrical plug and the third electrical plug are used to electrically connect the circuit boards 5 on two adjacent mold bases 2. A connector is used to connect with the second electrical plug and the third electrical plug on the two adjacent circuit boards 5 respectively, so that the circuit boards 5 on all the mold bases 2 on the base plate 1 are connected with the same circuit, and then the circuit is connected to the test system. The second electrical socket 14 and the third electrical socket 15 are both network communication interfaces, which can be USB interfaces, Ethernet interfaces, HDMI interfaces or VGA interfaces. The first electrical socket 13 matches the connector of the flexible circuit of the camera module 4.

The positioning groove 3 is provided with a crimping block 19 which is connected as an integral body. The crimping block 19 is arranged at the four corners of the positioning groove 3 and is used to crimp the four corners of the outer shell of the camera module 4 to fix the camera module 4. The positioning strips 8 are arranged horizontally along the mold base 2, so that a single positioning strip 8 can crimp and fix a row of camera modules 4 to improve the installation and fixing efficiency of the camera module 4.
