Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of cleaning devices, in particular to a camera module cleaning device. Background Art

[0002] The camera module is a modular product that integrates components such as cameras, lenses, image sensors, and digital signal processors. It is widely used in mobile phones, computers, security monitoring, smart homes, and other fields, bringing great convenience to our lives and work. Camera module, also known as Camera Compact Module in English, or CCM for short, is an electronic device used to capture images and is an indispensable component of the camera. During the operation of the camera module, the light of the object is gathered through the lens and received by the image sensor and converted into an electrical signal. Then, after being processed by the image processing chip, the electrical signal is converted into a digital image signal and output to the digital signal processor for further processing. Finally, after a series of processing, the digital image signal is converted into an image signal in standard GRB, YUV and other formats. The function and performance of the camera module have an important impact on the quality and accuracy of image capture, and it is usually necessary to clean it during the production process of the camera module.

[0003] For example, a new type of camera module cleaning machine with publication number CN209238577U requires the use of a dripping unit, a cleaning unit and a draining unit during the cleaning process, and each unit is an independent individual, which results in the camera module needing to be continuously transported during cleaning.
