Therefore, features defined as "first", "second", etc. may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present utility model, unless otherwise specified, "multiple" means two or more.

[0030] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood by specific circumstances.

[0032] Specifically, when assembling the device, the circuit board 3 is first placed on the inner side of the back cover 4, and then the shielding cover 2 is placed on the upper outer side of the circuit board 3. At this time, the staff performs glue dispensing on the top of the first connecting block 6. Since the first connecting block 6 and the second connecting block 7 are both sloped with a high outside and a low inside, the glue dispensing work is performed from the outside of the first connecting block 6, so that the glue can flow into the inside of the annular groove 8 along the slope for collection, thereby intuitively controlling the amount of glue, avoiding insufficient glue and glue leakage, and ensuring the working effect of the device; when the glue dispensing work is completed, the positions of the annular groove 8 and the annular protrusion 9 are aligned, and then the second connecting block 7 is assembled with the first connecting block 6. At this time, the annular protrusion 9 moves to the inside of the annular groove 8 to squeeze out the glue in the annular groove 8. Since the first connecting block 6 is tilted, a small amount of glue is squeezed upward along the slope, and the remaining glue is squeezed downward along the slope, thereby avoiding the overflow of glue, ensuring the aesthetics of the device, and controlling the distribution of glue, further ensuring the working effect of the device; optionally, the tilt angle is 5°.

Combined with the positioning pin 10 and the through hole 11, the circuit board 3 and the shielding cover 2 are fully limited. Different from the screw fixation in the prior art, the debris problem in the screw fixation can be prevented, thereby ensuring the image quality of the product; at the same time, the present application performs positioning through the positioning pin 10 and the through hole 11, and the positioning position can be flexibly selected, thereby increasing the available space of the circuit board 3, reducing the product size, and being conducive to realizing miniaturized design.

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, in one embodiment, the support block 12 is in the shape of a circular ring. Optionally, the support block 12 includes a plurality of evenly distributed crescent-shaped blocks.

[0038] like Figure 1As shown, in one embodiment, the present application splits the base in the prior art, wherein part of the base is integrally formed with the lens 1, and the remaining base is integrally formed with the back cover 4. At the same time, the entire base has only five parts, and only needs to be fixed with glue, thus reducing the number of parts and the manufacturing process, blocking the passage of external water, air, light, etc., and preventing infiltration, thereby effectively improving product quality and service life.

[0039] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention.
