At the same time, it should be understood that, for ease of description, the sizes of the various parts shown in the accompanying drawings are not drawn according to the actual proportional relationship. The technology, methods and equipment known to those of ordinary skill in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but in appropriate cases, the technology, methods and equipment should be considered as a part of the authorization specification. In all examples shown and discussed here, any specific value should be interpreted as being merely exemplary, rather than as a limitation. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters represent similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once a certain item is defined in an accompanying drawing, it does not need to be further discussed in subsequent drawings.

[0034] As mentioned in the background technology, the image sensor and signal encoder in the existing electronic endoscope are connected by a long cable, and the cable connection requires cable welding, which increases the labor cost. At the same time, since the image sensor sends a mobile industry processor interface (MIPI) video signal, the mobile industry processor interface needs to be connected with more cables, which increases the difficulty of welding. In addition, the space at the front end of the existing electronic endoscope is limited, and the device package of the video signal transfer part is large, and the device of the video signal transfer part cannot be placed inside the front end, resulting in the mobile industry processor interface (MIPI) video signal routing being too long, thereby causing the image quality to decline and the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) to decline. For this reason, the inventor of the present application has designed a new camera assembly, which can solve the problem of low space utilization of the front end of the electronic endoscope in the prior art. The camera assembly of the present application will be described in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0035] It should be noted that the “first direction” in this application refers to the Figure 1 The direction indicated by the letter X in the figure is the direction indicated by the letter X in the figure. Figure 1The direction indicated by the letter Y in the middle, and the “third direction” is the Figure 1 The direction indicated by the letter Z.

[0036] See also Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the present application provides a camera assembly, which is at least used for an endoscope. The camera assembly includes a first circuit board 10, a camera module 20, a second circuit board 30 and a video signal encoding module 40.

[0037] Among them, the camera module 20 is arranged on the first side of the first circuit board 10; the second circuit board 30 is arranged on the second side of the first circuit board 10 opposite to the first side and is electrically connected to the first circuit board 10, the second circuit board 30 includes a first hard board body 31, a second hard board body 32 and a flexible board body 33 connected between the first hard board body 31 and the second hard board body 32, the first hard board body 31 and the second hard board body 32 are bent by the flexible board body 33 and arranged side by side; the video signal encoding module 40 is arranged on the first hard board body 31 or the second hard board body 32.

[0038] In this embodiment, the camera module 20 is at least used to collect and transmit images of the human body, and convert the image signal into a video signal, and the video signal encoding module 40 is at least used to process the video signal transmitted by the camera module 20. Since the second circuit board 30 in this embodiment includes a first hard board 31, a second hard board 32, and a flexible board 33 connected between the first hard board 31 and the second hard board 32, wherein the flexible board 33 has the characteristics of being bendable and foldable, when the camera assembly is installed, the first hard board 31 and the second hard board 32 can be arranged side by side by bending the flexible board 33, thus reducing the overall volume of the second circuit board 30, reducing the space occupied by the second circuit board 30, effectively improving the space utilization rate of the camera assembly in this embodiment, and facilitating the miniaturization design of the front end part of the endoscope. At the same time, since the first circuit board 10 and the second circuit board 30 in this embodiment are electrically connected, and the camera module 20 is arranged on the first circuit board 10, and the video signal encoding module 40 is arranged on the second circuit board 30, there is no need to connect the camera module 20 and the video signal encoding module 40 through a long cable, which reduces the cable cost and shortens the routing length of the mobile industry processor interface (MIPI) video signal, optimizes the video signal quality, and effectively improves the image quality and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).

[0039] That is to say, in this embodiment, a flexible board 33 is arranged between the first hard board 31 and the second hard board 32, and the flexible board 33 has the characteristics of being bendable and foldable. In this way, the overall volume of the second circuit board 30 can be reduced, thereby reducing the space occupied by the second circuit board 30, and thus improving the space utilization rate. Compared with the camera assembly in the prior art, the camera assembly in this embodiment has a higher space utilization rate. At the same time, the camera module 20 and the video signal encoding module 40 do not need to be connected by a long cable, which reduces the cable cost, optimizes the video signal quality, and effectively improves the image quality and electromagnetic compatibility.

[0040] It is understood that the "side-by-side arrangement" in this embodiment includes but is not limited to: (1) the largest surface of the first hard plate 31 and the largest surface of the second hard plate 32 are arranged face to face after the flexible plate 33 is bent; (2) the first hard plate 31 is inclined to the second hard plate 32 after the flexible plate 33 is bent. Figure 1 The diagram shows a situation where the largest surface of the first hard plate 31 and the largest surface of the second hard plate 32 are arranged face to face after being bent by the flexible plate 33 .

[0041] Optionally, the video signal encoding module 40 in this embodiment can be installed on the first hard board 31, or the video signal encoding module 40 can be installed on the second hard board 32, which is not specifically limited in this application. Figure 3 The figure shows the situation when the video signal encoding module 40 is installed on the second hard board 32 .

[0042] Further, see Figure 1 As shown, the projections of the first hard plate body 31 and the second hard plate body 32 along the first direction in this embodiment are both located within the projection of the first circuit board 10 along the first direction. That is to say, the outer edge of the first hard plate body 31 and the outer edge of the second hard plate body 32 arranged side by side in this embodiment do not exceed the outer edge of the first circuit board 10. Such an arrangement further reduces the overall volume of the second circuit board 30, thereby reducing the space occupied by the second circuit board 30 and effectively improving the space utilization rate.

[0043] Further, in the present embodiment, a first solder pad (not shown in the drawings) is disposed on the second side of the first circuit board 10, and the first solder pad includes at least one row, and the at least one row of first solder pads extends along the second direction; the first hard board body 31 is disposed on the second side of the first circuit board 10, and a second solder pad (not shown in the drawings) is disposed at one end of the first hard board body 31 close to the first circuit board 10, and the second solder pad includes at least one row, and the at least one row of second solder pads is disposed one-to-one with the at least one row of first solder pads and is welded and connected. It can be understood that the first hard board body 31 in the present embodiment is connected to the first circuit board 10 by welding.

[0044] Specifically, in this embodiment, by arranging the first solder pads and the second solder pads in a one-to-one correspondence and connecting them by welding, the welding position of the first circuit board 10 and the first hard board body 31 can be accurately controlled, the welding accuracy can be improved, the risk of breakage can be reduced, and the production cost of the camera assembly in this embodiment can be reduced, which helps to improve the connection reliability between the first circuit board 10 and the first hard board body 31. At the same time, the arrangement of multiple first solder pads and multiple second solder pads facilitates automated welding, which is convenient and quick to operate.

[0045] Optionally, the "first pads" in this embodiment may include one row, two rows, three rows, or more than three rows, which is not specifically limited in this application, and the number of rows of the first pads may be set by those skilled in the art according to actual needs. Exemplarily, each row of first pads in this embodiment may include two first pads, three first pads, four first pads, or more than four first pads.

[0046] Optionally, the "second pads" in this embodiment may include one row, two rows, three rows, or more than three rows, which is not specifically limited in this application, and the number of rows of the second pads may be set by those skilled in the art according to actual needs. Exemplarily, each row of second pads in this embodiment may include two second pads, three second pads, four second pads, or more than four second pads.

[0047] Further, see Figure 3 As shown, along the first direction, the lengths of the first hard board 31 and the second hard board 32 in this embodiment are both greater than the length of the flexible board 33, and the first hard board 31, the second hard board 32 and the flexible board 33 are surrounded to form an avoidance space 301. Specifically, the setting of the avoidance space 301 can avoid other components connected to the second circuit board 30, preventing the flexible board 33 from interfering.

[0048] Further, see Figure 3 to Figure 4As shown, in this embodiment, a first chamfer 311 is provided on the first hard board 31, and the first chamfer 311 is provided away from the first circuit board 10 and is located on the side of the first hard board 31 away from the flexible board 33. Specifically, the provision of the first chamfer 311 reduces the contact area between the first hard board 31 and other components (such as the hose of the endoscope, etc.), thereby reducing the friction between the first hard board 31 and other components, and preventing other components (such as the hose of the endoscope, etc.) from being damaged.

[0049] Optionally, the "first chamfer 311" in this embodiment includes a chamfer or a rounded corner, etc., which is not specifically limited in this application. As long as it is other deformation methods under the concept of this application, they are within the protection scope of this application. Figure 3 The case where the first chamfer 311 is a chamfer is shown.

[0050] Further, see Figure 3 to Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a second chamfer 321 is provided on the second hard board 32, and the second chamfer 321 is provided away from the first circuit board 10 and is located on the side of the second hard board 32 away from the flexible board 33. Specifically, the provision of the second chamfer 321 reduces the contact area between the second hard board 32 and other components (such as the hose of the endoscope, etc.), thereby reducing the friction between the second hard board 32 and other components, and preventing other components (such as the hose of the endoscope, etc.) from being damaged.

[0051] Optionally, the "second chamfer 321" in this embodiment includes a chamfer or a rounded corner, etc., which is not specifically limited in this application. As long as it is other deformation methods under the concept of this application, it is within the protection scope of this application. Figure 3 The case where the second chamfer 321 is a chamfer is shown.

[0052] Further, see Figure 1 as well as Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the first hard board body 31 and the second hard board body 32 are both perpendicular to the first circuit board 10, and along the third direction, the projections of the first hard board body 31 and the second hard board body 32 overlap. Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, the flexible board 33 is not bent, and at this time, the first hard board 31 and the second hard board 32 are both perpendicular to the first circuit board 10; see Figure 1As shown, in another embodiment of the present application, the flexible board body 33 is bent so that the first hard board body 31 and the second hard board body 32 are both perpendicular to the first circuit board 10. At the same time, along the third direction, the projections of the first hard board body 31 and the second hard board body 32 overlap. Such a configuration can reduce the overall volume of the second circuit board 30, thereby reducing the space occupied by the second circuit board 30, and further improving space utilization.

[0053] It can be understood that the first hard plate body 31 in this embodiment is welded to the first circuit board 10, and the first hard plate body 31 is perpendicular to the first circuit board 10, that is, the first hard plate body 31 in this embodiment and the first circuit board 10 form a T-shaped plate. In this way, the spatial distribution of the camera assembly is more reasonable, which is conducive to realizing a more compact structural design, reducing the overall volume of the camera assembly, and thus improving space utilization.

[0054] Further, see Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, there is an installation gap 302 between the second hard plate body 32 and the first circuit board 10; the camera assembly further includes a connector (not shown in the drawings), which is disposed in the installation gap 302 and connected to the second hard plate body 32. Specifically, the installation gap 302 between the second hard plate body 32 and the first circuit board 10 can provide an installation position for the connector, and the provision of the connector can fix the second hard plate body 32, prevent the second hard plate body 32 from shifting during the operation of the camera assembly, improve the assembly quality of the second circuit board 30 to a certain extent, and at the same time, enhance the structural stability of the second circuit board 30 after the volume is reduced.

[0055] Optionally, the connector in this embodiment includes a plastic structure, which has good insulation and effectively isolates the current between the first circuit board 10 and the second circuit board 30. Exemplarily, the second hard board body 32 in this embodiment is bonded to the connector.

[0056] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a third pad is provided at one end of the first hard plate body 31 away from the first circuit board 10 (not shown in the drawings). Specifically, the third pad is used to weld the cable for image transmission, so that the video signal processed by the video signal encoding module 40 is sent to the host through the cable for further processing.

[0057] Further, see Figure 1 to Figure 2As shown, the camera assembly in this embodiment further includes a power module 50 and a clock module 60. The power module 50 is arranged on the first hard board 31 or the second hard board 32, and the clock module 60 is arranged on the first hard board 31 or the second hard board 32. That is to say, the power module 50 can be installed on the first hard board 31, or the power module 50 can be installed on the second hard board 32; the clock module 60 can be installed on the first hard board 31, or the clock module 60 can be installed on the second hard board 32. Figure 3 To Attachment Figure 4 The figure shows a situation where the power module 50 is installed on the second hard board 32 and the clock module 60 is installed on the first hard board 31 .

[0058] Specifically, see Figure 5 As shown, the camera assembly in this embodiment includes a camera module 20, a video signal encoding module 40, a power module 50 and a clock module 60. First, the camera module 20 converts the collected image signal into a video signal, which is transmitted to the video signal encoding module 40. Subsequently, the video signal encoding module 40 encodes multiple groups of video signals into a group of serial video signals, and then a group of serial video signals is transmitted to the handle and the rear host through the welded electronic cable. Among them, the power module 50 provides power for the camera module 20 and the video signal encoding module 40, and the clock module 60 provides a clock signal for the camera module 20 and the video signal encoding module 40. It can be seen that in this embodiment, the camera module 20 is integrated on the first circuit board 10, the video signal encoding module 40, the power module 50 and the clock module 60 are integrated on the first hard board 31 and the second hard board 32, and then the first hard board 31 and the second hard board 32 are three-dimensionally stacked through the flexible board 33, so that the space utilization can be maximized.

[0059] In combination with the above-mentioned embodiments, it can be known that the camera assembly of the present application includes a first circuit board 10, a camera module 20, a second circuit board 30 and a video signal encoding module 40. Since the first hard board 31 and the second hard board 32 are arranged side by side after being bent by the flexible board 33, the overall volume of the second circuit board 30 can be reduced, thereby reducing the space occupied by the second circuit board 30, and effectively improving the space utilization rate of the camera assembly. At the same time, since the first circuit board 10 and the second circuit board 30 are electrically connected, and the camera module 20 is arranged on the first circuit board 10, and the video signal encoding module 40 is arranged on the second circuit board 30, the camera module 20 and the video signal encoding module 40 do not need to be connected by a long cable, which reduces the cable cost, shortens the length of the mobile industry processor interface (MIPI) video signal routing, optimizes the video signal quality, and effectively improves the image quality and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).

[0060] On the other hand, the embodiment of the present application further provides an endoscope, which includes the above-mentioned camera assembly, and therefore, the endoscope includes all the technical effects of the above-mentioned camera assembly. Since the technical effects of the camera assembly have been described in detail above, they will not be repeated here. Specifically, the endoscope also includes a hose, and the camera assembly is arranged at the end of the hose.

[0061] For ease of description, spatially relative terms such as "above", "above", "on the upper surface of", "above", etc. may be used here to describe the spatial positional relationship between a device or feature and other devices or features as shown in the figure. It should be understood that spatially relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation described in the figure. For example, if the device in the accompanying drawings is inverted, the device described as "above other devices or structures" or "above other devices or structures" will be positioned as "below other devices or structures" or "below other devices or structures". Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below". The device can also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatially relative descriptions used here are interpreted accordingly.

[0062] In addition, it should be noted that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to limit components is only for the convenience of distinguishing the corresponding components. Unless otherwise stated, the above terms have no special meaning and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of this application.

[0063] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
