Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of flexible circuit boards, and specifically relates to a novel camera module FPC maintenance structure. Background Art

[0002] A flexible printed circuit board (FPC) is a printed circuit made of a flexible insulating substrate. It has many advantages that rigid printed circuit boards do not have. For example, it can be freely bent, wound, and folded. It can be arranged arbitrarily according to spatial layout requirements and can be moved and stretched arbitrarily in three dimensions, thereby achieving the integration of component assembly and wire connection. However, during the production process, the FPC is easily creased due to the need for handling and movement, and it needs to be repaired to save costs.

[0003] Currently, defective FPCs with creases, which are the most widely used in the camera module industry, are usually repaired manually. First, a visual inspection is performed, and then the crease of the FPC is found. The head is held with one finger, and the reinforcement plate is held with the other hand, and bent in the opposite direction. This action is repeated multiple times until the crease meets the requirements. However, if it is leveled manually at room temperature, it is easy to rebound due to stress, and the crease effect after repair is not good. In addition, manual repair of creases is prone to over-correction, resulting in bending in the opposite direction.

[0004] In view of this, the present utility model is proposed. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] See also Figure 1-4 As shown, in this embodiment, a new camera module FPC repair structure is provided, including: a base plate 1, fixed columns 2 are connected to the left and right sides of the top of the base plate 1, an upper pressure block 5 is connected between the two fixed columns 2, a handle 6 is connected to the top of the upper pressure block 5, and a lower pressure block 4 is connected to the bottom end of the upper pressure block 5. The top surface of the base plate 1 is connected to a lower pad 3, and the lower pressure block 4 is located above the lower pad 3.

[0030] The bottom plate 1 provides a stable basic platform for the entire maintenance structure, ensuring that the structure will not shake or tilt during the maintenance process. It carries other components such as the fixed column 2 and the lower pad 3 to ensure the relative position of each component is stable. The fixed column 2 connects the bottom plate 1 and the upper pressure block 5, provides support and guidance for the upper pressure block 5, ensures that the upper pressure block 5 maintains a stable direction during the up and down movement, limits the movement range of the upper pressure block 5, and prevents the upper pressure block 5 from excessive movement and causing damage to the FPC. The upper pressure block 5 can move up and down by operating the handle 6, driving the lower pressure block 4 to tighten or loosen the FPC. Handle 6: Provides a handle for the operator to operate the upper pressure block 5, which is convenient for applying force and controlling the movement of the upper pressure block 5, making the operation more convenient and improving the maintenance efficiency. The lower pressure block 4 applies pressure to the FPC under the drive of the upper pressure block 5, and fixes the FPC in the middle together with the lower pad 3. The lower pad 3 is located at the top of the bottom plate 1 to provide support for the FPC. When in use, the FPC is placed on the surface of the lower pad 3, and then the upper pressure block 5 is moved to drive the lower pressure block 4 to press the FPC. When the device is placed on an external heating platform, the creases of the FPC are repaired by heating and pressing the lower pressure block 4.

[0031] In this embodiment, a boss is provided at the rear end of the base plate 1, and the top end of the lower pad 3 is flush with the surface of the boss. A limiting groove 7 is provided on the surface of the boss. The boss provides additional support and positioning functions for the maintenance structure to ensure that the FPC is placed stably. The limiting groove 7 is used to position the FPC to improve the accuracy and efficiency of maintenance. Guide grooves 10 are provided on the opposite surfaces of the two fixed columns 2, and sliders are provided at the left and right ends of the upper pressure block 5. The sliders correspond to the guide grooves 10, and the guide grooves 10 cooperate with the sliders to further ensure the stability and directionality of the upper pressure block 5 during the up and down movement, and prevent the upper pressure block 5 from offsetting or shaking.

[0032] A second through hole 9 is provided on the surface of the lower pad 3, and a first through hole 8 is provided on the surface of the base plate. The first through hole 8 and the second through hole 9 are aligned with each other. When the device is placed on an external heating platform, the first through hole 8 and the second through hole 9 are conducive to heat transfer to the FPC surface, thereby improving the repair efficiency.

[0033] A depression is provided in the middle of the top of the upper pressing block 5, and a groove is provided at the bottom of the handle 6. The groove of the handle 6 is embedded in the depression of the upper pressing block 5 and is fixedly connected to the upper pressing block 5. The handle 6 is made of heat-insulating material, which provides the operator with a handle for operating the upper pressing block 5, facilitates the use of force and controls the movement of the upper pressing block 5, and improves maintenance efficiency. The use of heat-insulating material can prevent the operator from being scalded when the device is placed on an external heating platform.

[0034] The lower pressing block 4 and the upper pressing block 5 are fixedly connected by bolts, and the lower pressing block 4 and the lower pad 3 have a variety of different width models. Driven by the upper pressing block 5, pressure is applied to the FPC, and together with the lower pad 3, the FPC is fixed in the middle, and is fixedly connected to the upper pressing block 5 by bolts. The lower pressing block 4 and the lower pad 3 have a variety of different width models, which can be selected according to different FPC sizes.

[0035] Working principle:

[0036] When in use, place the FPC on the surface of the lower pad 3, move the upper pressure block 5 to drive the lower pressure block 4 to press the FPC, then place the device on the external heating platform, set the heating temperature to 120°, and heat for ten minutes. At this time, the second through hole 9 on the surface of the lower pad 3 is aligned with the first through hole 8 on the surface of the bottom plate 1, which is conducive to the heat transfer from the external heating platform to the FPC surface. Through heating and the pressing effect of the lower pressure block 4, the crease of the FPC is repaired;

[0037] The lower pressing block 4 and the lower pad 3 have a variety of different width models, which can be selected according to different FPC sizes. The lower pressing block 4 and the upper pressing block 5 are fixedly connected by bolts to ensure that the lower pressing block 4 can stably apply pressure to the FPC during maintenance. The operator controls the movement of the upper pressing block 5 through the handle 6. The handle 6 is made of heat-insulating material. On the one hand, it is convenient to apply force and accurately control the up and down movement of the upper pressing block 5, thereby improving maintenance efficiency; on the other hand, when the device is placed on an external heating platform, it can prevent the operator from being scalded. The concave part in the middle of the top of the upper pressing block 5 and the groove at the bottom of the handle 6 are embedded in each other and fixedly connected. The sliders at the left and right ends of the block 5 correspond to the guide grooves 10 on the opposite sides of the fixed column 2 to ensure that the upper pressure block 5 maintains a stable direction during the up and down movement to prevent the upper pressure block 5 from deflecting or shaking. The lower pressure block 4 connected to the bottom end of the upper pressure block 5 tightens or loosens the FPC under the drive of the upper pressure block 5. The lower pad 3 is located at the top of the base plate 1 to provide support for the FPC. The boss at the rear end of the base plate 1 makes the top of the lower pad 3 flush with the surface of the boss, providing additional support for the maintenance structure and ensuring that the FPC is placed stably. The limit groove 7 on the surface of the boss can position the FPC to improve the accuracy and efficiency of maintenance.

[0038] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments. Any structural changes made under the guidance of the present invention should be understood by anyone. Any technical solution that is the same or similar to the present invention falls within the scope of protection of the present invention.
