Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of integrated camera modules, and specifically relates to an integrated camera module. Background Art

[0002] The existing integrated camera modules mainly include components such as a circuit board, a sensing unit, a housing, a base, and a camera. Currently, escape holes are provided at the base of the integrated camera module. The main function of the escape holes is to allow the gas inside the integrated camera module to escape when heated or when the pressure changes, preventing damage to the internal components of the integrated camera module due to the accumulation of internal pressure.

[0003] The components of the integrated camera module need to be initially connected through thermosetting glue. Then, the integrated camera module filled with thermosetting glue is placed in a baking device to solidify the thermosetting glue, thereby making the components of the integrated camera module firmly connected. After the assembly of the integrated camera module is completed, in order to prevent impurities from entering the interior of the integrated camera module, the escape holes must be sealed with glue. However, in this case, when the integrated camera module needs to be repaired later, the escape holes need to be dredged first. However, the thermosetting glue solidified in the escape holes is relatively hard, and the overall aperture of the escape holes is relatively small, making it difficult to dredge the escape holes, and the opening and sealing operations of the escape holes are less flexible. In view of the deficiencies of the existing technology, we propose an integrated camera module to solve the above problems. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] In view of the deficiencies of the existing technology, the utility model provides an integrated camera module, which solves the problem that when the integrated camera module needs to be repaired later, the escape holes need to be dredged first.

[0026] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be described clearly and completely. Apparently, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] By providing an integrated camera module in the embodiments of the present application, when it is necessary to overhaul the integrated camera module later, it is necessary to first dredge the air escape hole. However, the thermosetting glue solidified in the air escape hole is relatively hard, and the overall aperture of the air escape hole is relatively small, making it difficult to dredge the air escape hole, and the opening and closing operations of the air escape hole are less flexible. The problem is solved, and the flexible control of the opening and closing of the air escape hole is realized.

[0028] In order to better understand the above technical solutions, the above technical solutions will be described in detail below in conjunction with the specification drawings and specific embodiments.

[0029] The embodiments of the present utility model disclose an integrated camera module.

[0030] According to the attached Figures 1-7As shown, it includes a base 1, a housing 2 arranged on the top of the base 1, a camera 21 arranged inside the housing 2, a sensing unit 3 arranged between the base 1 and the housing 2, and a circuit board 4 arranged on one side of the base 1. An air escape hole 5 is provided on the outer wall of the base 1. Components such as the base 1, the housing 2, the camera 21, the sensing unit 3, and the circuit board 4 form an integrated camera module. The camera 21 is connected to the housing 2 by a threaded connection. When assembling the components of the integrated camera module, it is necessary to apply thermosetting glue in the area where the base 1 and the housing 2 are combined. After the two are pressed together, they are baked at a certain temperature to achieve a firm combination between them. And an air escape hole 5 is provided at the base 1, so that during the baking process, there will be no hot air blockage inside the base 1 and the housing 2, and the hot air pressure is discharged to the external environment through the air escape hole 5, avoiding the situation that the installation position of the camera 21 installed at the housing 2 is shifted under the influence of high air pressure.

[0031] Refer to the appendix Figures 3-7 , a closing mechanism 6 is provided at the bottom of the base 1. Traditionally, after assembling and baking the components of the integrated camera module, thermosetting glue is filled into the air escape hole 5 to seal the air escape hole 5 to prevent external impurities from entering the inside of the integrated camera module through the air escape hole 5. However, in this case, there will be glue leakage at the air escape hole 5 and glue explosion when the glue solidifies, making it impossible to effectively block the air escape hole 5. Therefore, by providing the closing mechanism 6, the above situation can be solved, and the opening and closing states of the air escape hole 5 can be flexibly controlled. So that when the integrated camera module is overhauled later, it is not necessary to clean the thermosetting glue inside the air escape hole 5. The closing mechanism 6 includes a connection groove 61. The connection groove 61 is opened at the bottom of the base 1, and the connection groove 61 is communicated with the air escape hole 5. A sealing plate 62 is slidably limited inside the connection groove 61. Refer to the appendix Figure 3 , the size of the sealing plate 62 is larger than the aperture of the air escape hole 5, so that the sealing plate 62 can effectively block one end of the air escape hole 5 connected to the outside. A locking screw 65 for fixing between the sealing plate 62 and the connection groove 61 is provided on one side of the sealing plate 62. A convex block 64 is fixedly connected to one side of the sealing plate 62. One end of the locking screw 65 is rotatably arranged on the outer wall of the convex block 64. A guide rod 63 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connection groove 61. Both the sealing plate 62 and the convex block 64 are slidably arranged on the outer wall of the guide rod 63. A first locking hole 66 is opened on the outer wall of the guide rod 63, and a second locking hole 67 is opened on the outer wall of the guide rod 63. When one end of the locking screw 65 is threadedly inserted into the first locking hole 66, at this time, the sealing plate 62 can effectively block one end of the air escape hole 5 connected to the outside. When one end of the locking screw 65 is threadedly inserted into the second locking hole 67, at this time, the sealing plate 62 slides to a position away from the air escape hole 5, and at this time, the air escape hole 5 is in an exposed state. For details, please refer to the appendix Figure 4and appendix Figure 6 .

[0032] The filter screen 68 is arranged inside the air escape hole 5. By arranging the filter screen 68, it can prevent external impurities from directly entering the inside of the integrated camera module through the air escape hole 5. The installation component 7 is used for the convenient disassembly and assembly between the filter screen 68 and the air escape hole 5. The installation component 7 includes a threaded cylinder 71 and a threaded ring 72. The threaded cylinder 71 is fixedly arranged inside the air escape hole 5, and multiple groups of filter screens 68 are arranged inside the threaded ring 72. The threaded ring 72 is threadedly inserted inside the threaded cylinder 71.

Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited by the above embodiments. The above embodiments and the descriptions in the specification only illustrate the principles of the present invention.
