For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0029] Example 1
[0030] See also Figure 1 to Figure 4 ,in Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the structure of an infrared receiving device with a shielding shell. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the partial explosion structure of an infrared receiving device with a shielding shell. Figure 3-42 is a schematic diagram of the structure of two unfolded states of an infrared receiving device with a shielding shell. The infrared receiving device with a shielding shell provided in this embodiment includes:
[0031] A metal lead frame 1, the metal lead frame 1 comprising a mounting portion 11 and a shielding portion 12, the mounting portion 11 being provided with a photosensitive element 2 and a signal processing unit 3, the photosensitive element 2 being used to receive an optical signal, the signal processing unit 3 being electrically connected to the photosensitive element 2 via a connecting wire 4, and the signal processing unit 3 being electrically connected to three pins 5 on one side of the mounting portion 11 via the connecting wire 4;
[0032] The encapsulation protection layer 6 is arranged on the metal lead frame 1, and is used to cover, encapsulate and protect the photosensitive element 2 and the signal processing unit 3; the shielding part 12 of the metal lead frame 1 can form a shielding shell 7 that covers the outside of the encapsulation protection layer 6, and the encapsulation protection layer 6 is also used to isolate the shielding part 12 from the photosensitive element 2, the signal processing unit 3, and the connecting line 4 to prevent the shielding part 12 from touching the photosensitive element 2, the signal processing unit 3, the connecting line 4, etc., causing a short circuit.
[0033] It is understandable that the photosensitive element 2 and the signal processing unit 3 can be selected from conventional types. For example, the photosensitive element 2 can be a photosensitive chip, and the signal processing unit 3 can be a decoding IC. More electronic components of the same type used in conventional infrared receiving devices are not listed here one by one. Those skilled in the art can choose to use them according to actual needs.
[0034] It can be understood that the main function of the metal lead frame 1 is to install and fix the photosensitive element 2 and the signal processing unit 3, and to serve as a shielding shell 7 to shield and protect these units to avoid signal interference and electromagnetic interference. The photosensitive element 2 and the signal processing unit 3 can be fixed on the metal lead frame 1 respectively with conductive silver paste.
[0035] It is understandable that the encapsulation protection layer 6 is mainly encapsulation glue, such as plastic encapsulation epoxy resin, etc., which will not be further described here.
[0036] It can be understood that the three pins 5 are the ground pin, the signal output pin and the power pin, which belong to the basic structure of the infrared receiving device and will not be further described here. At the same time, when the encapsulation protection layer 6 encapsulates the components on the metal lead frame 1, it can encapsulate and fix the pins 5 and the signal processing unit 3, not only encapsulating and fixing the connecting wire 4, but also forming a certain overall fixing effect, so that the encapsulation protection layer 6 formed after the potting glue is cured can make the connection between the pin 5 and the shielding shell 7 more secure, and can effectively avoid the situation where the pin 5 is loose and the connecting wire 4 is broken, which in turn causes the infrared receiving head to fail. Among them, the connecting wire 4 is mainly a conductive metal wire, such as gold wire, silver wire, copper wire and other bonding wires, which will not be further described here.
[0037] In the embodiment of the utility model, the encapsulation protection layer 6 is provided with a raised light-collecting portion 8. Since commonly used encapsulation glues such as epoxy resin can be transparent, the raised light-collecting portion 8 is provided on the encapsulation protection layer 6 to effectively collect light and improve the signal receiving effect. It can be understood that the light-collecting portion 8 and the encapsulation protection layer 6 are integrated.
[0038] In the embodiment of the utility model, a window 13 is provided on the shielding part 12 of the metal lead frame 1, and the window 13 is aligned with the light focusing part 8. The window 13 is convenient for receiving optical signals. In the embodiment of the utility model, the window 13 is one of circular, square, elliptical, mesh-shaped or a combination of multiple shapes.
[0039] In order to reduce the thickness of the infrared receiving device, while ensuring the focusing effect, it is preferred that the protruding height of the focusing portion 8 does not exceed the outer side of the window 13, and can be slightly raised. In other embodiments, in order to make the product thinner, the focusing portion 8 may not even be provided. More specific embodiments are not further described here. Of course, the height of the focusing portion 8 may not be strictly limited according to actual needs, which is not further described here.
[0040] like Figure 1 to Figure 4 In the embodiment of the utility model, the shielding part 12 is composed of a connecting part 121, a front panel 122 and a side panel 123. The connecting part 121 can be bent and arranged at the end of the mounting part 11 to connect the mounting part 11 and the front panel 122. The side panel 123 is arranged on the side of the front panel 122. The connecting part 121 is illustrated as a two-strip structure in this embodiment to reduce the overall weight. In other embodiments, it can also be simply deformed, such as directly using a plate shape. More implementation methods are not further described here.
[0041] In the embodiment of the utility model, a bending mark is provided between the side panel 123 and the front panel 122 , and the side panel 123 can be bent and provided on the side of the front panel 122 .
[0042] It is understood that the metal lead frame 1 may be Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the shielding shell 7 is in a completely flattened out posture, so that a bending mark is provided between the side panel 123 and the front surface so as to facilitate folding when the shielding shell 7 is subsequently bent.
[0043] In other embodiments of the present invention, the side panels 123 and the front panel 122 are bent and arranged on the side of the front panel 122, and a fixed angle is formed between the side panels 123 and the front panel 122. Specifically, Figure 3 The figure is a kind of fully flattened posture, and a bending mark is set between the side panel 123 and the front panel 122, and the two are basically flat before forming the shielding shell 7. In other embodiments, in order to further reduce the packaging process, the side panel 123 and the front panel 122 can be folded in advance to form the basic part of the shielding shell 7, for example, the side panel and the front panel are bent at 90 degrees in advance, and after the packaging protective layer 6 is packaged, the front panel 122 is bent and the front panel 122 and the side panel 123 are simultaneously attached to the packaging protective layer 6. More details are not further described here.
[0044] In the embodiment of the present utility model, the side panel 123 includes at least two sides. Figure 1 The side panels 123 shown in the figure mainly include the two sides of the front panel 122, but in other embodiments, they can also be arranged on both sides of the front panel 122. Figure 1 A side panel 123 is provided on the side of the front end of the center panel 122, so that the shielding shell 7 has a larger range. More possible simple expansions will not be further described here.
[0045] like Figure 5 As shown, it is a partial perspective structural diagram of the infrared receiving device with a shielding shell in this embodiment. Considering that the metal lead frame 1 cannot contact the connecting wire 4 between the photosensitive element 2 and the signal processing unit 3 and the connecting wire 4 between the signal processing unit 3 and the pin 5, otherwise a short circuit will be caused. Therefore, in this embodiment, the photosensitive element 2, the signal processing unit 3, and the connecting wire 4 are all encapsulated inside, and then the metal lead frame 1 is bent and deformed to form a metal shielding shell 7, which can effectively avoid the short circuit caused by the contact between the metal lead frame 1 and the connecting wire 4.
[0046] It can be understood that the specific packaging process of the infrared receiving device with a shielding shell of the utility model includes: fixing the photosensitive element 2 and the signal processing unit 3 on the metal lead frame 1 respectively with conductive silver paste, electrically connecting the photosensitive element 2 and the signal processing unit 3 with conductive connecting wires 4 such as bonding wires, and connecting the functional area of the signal processing unit 3 with the three corresponding pins 5 on one side of the metal lead frame 1 through the connecting wires 4, forming a packaging protection layer 6 on the component area using a packaging material such as epoxy resin by molding, the packaging protection layer 6 can transmit infrared light, and the formed packaging protection layer 6 also has a focusing portion 8 for focusing light, which is integrally formed with other parts. If the product is to be thinner, the focusing portion 8 may not be required; then the shielding portion 12 of the metal lead frame 1 is bent and covered on the packaging protection layer 6 colloid to form a shielding shell 7 as a whole.
[0047] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0048] The infrared receiving device with a shielding shell provided by the utility model uses the metal lead frame 1 as a part of the shielding shell 7, and the shielding shell 7 is directly connected to the pin 5 of the product, so that the product does not need to be manually installed with the shielding shell 7 and welded, the thickness is reduced, the overall volume is greatly reduced, the space arrangement is more reasonable, and automated production can be realized.
[0049] Example 2
[0050] The utility model also provides an infrared receiving device, which is provided with at least one infrared receiving device with a shielding shell as described in any one of the items.
[0051] It is understandable that the infrared receiving device can be household appliances, audio equipment, medical instruments, lighting, automobiles, drones, military, etc., which will not be further described here.
[0052] Although the utility model has been described in detail above with general descriptions and specific embodiments, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that some modifications or improvements can be made to the utility model. Therefore, these modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of the utility model are within the scope of protection claimed by the utility model.
