Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of camera module manufacturing, and in particular to a device for attaching 3D special-shaped auxiliary materials. Background Art

[0002] In the current camera module industry, modules with autofocus functionality require grounding of the motor's outer metal casing because they incorporate a motor. To effectively prevent static electricity from accumulating and impacting camera module performance, the metal casing and underlying PCB are typically wrapped with conductive materials such as conductive cloth or copper foil. This practice ensures a tight connection between the exposed copper grounding area on the PCB and the motor's metal casing, effectively dissipating any static electricity generated.

[0003] However, the application of these shaped conductive fabrics or copper foils presents a significant challenge: they often need to be applied flatly to the bottom of the PCB, and then manually pressed on the remaining three sides to ensure they are fully adhered to the camera module. This traditional method is not only inefficient and labor-intensive, but also difficult to ensure uniformity, adhesion, and consistent conductivity due to manual intervention, which can negatively impact product quality.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new device for attaching 3D special-shaped auxiliary materials. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a device for attaching 3D special-shaped auxiliary materials, which can improve production efficiency.

[0006] The device for attaching 3D special-shaped auxiliary materials described in the utility model includes:

[0007] A pressing head body, the pressing head body having a first surface and a second surface, wherein a first groove is formed on the first surface;

[0008] Three side pressing heads are respectively provided on three different sides of the first groove, and the shape of the space enclosed by the three side pressing heads is adapted to the outer contour of the camera module to be bonded, so as to ensure that the 3D special-shaped auxiliary material can be bonded to the camera module;

[0009] The top surface of the supporting platform is provided with a second groove for avoiding the lens portion of the camera module to prevent damage to the lens or affect the attachment effect during the attachment process.

[0010] Optionally, the side pressure head is mounted on a side surface of the pressure head body through a movable connection mechanism, so that the side pressure head can move in a vertical direction relative to the corresponding side surface;

[0011] An elastic member is provided between the side pressure head and the pressure head body to provide appropriate pressure when the side pressure head contacts and presses the camera module, and allows the side pressure head to automatically reset after the pressure is released.

[0012] Optionally, two elastic members are provided between the side pressure head and the pressure head body, which are located on both sides of the side pressure head respectively, so as to enhance the stability and reset effect of the side pressure head.

[0013] Optionally, the elastic member is a spring, and the elastic force of the spring is used to realize the automatic reset and adjustment functions of the side pressure head.

[0014] Optionally, the surface of the side pressure head that first contacts the camera module is provided with a guide chamfer, so that the side pressure head can slide smoothly into the contour of the camera module, reduce friction and damage, and protect the surface of the camera module from damage.

[0015] Optionally, a handle is further included, one end of which is fixedly mounted on the second surface of the press head body, so that the operator can hold and operate (or tighten the equipment) the entire device, thereby improving operating efficiency and convenience and making the attachment process easier and more efficient.

[0016] The utility model has the following advantages:

[0017] (1) Improved production efficiency: The utility model avoids the redundant step of manually pressing 3D special-shaped auxiliary materials in the traditional method by designing an attachment device. It can significantly shorten the production cycle and improve production efficiency.

[0018] (2) Improved attachment consistency:

[0019] The space formed by the three side pressing heads matches the outer contours of the camera module, ensuring that the 3D shaped auxiliary material can be accurately and tightly attached to the camera module. This design improves the consistency and accuracy of attachment, thereby enhancing the overall quality of the product.

[0020] (3) Reduced labor costs:

[0021] The traditional method requires a lot of manual participation, especially in the process of pressing 3D special-shaped auxiliary materials. However, the utility model replaces this part of manual operation with an automated device, greatly reducing labor costs.

[0022] (4) Enhanced conductivity and adhesion:

[0023] Thanks to the automated and precise attachment method, the conductivity and adhesion of 3D special-shaped auxiliary materials are better guaranteed. This helps to improve the anti-static performance of the product and enhance its reliability and stability.

[0024] (5) Improved yield and reduced costs:

[0025] Automated operations reduce errors and defective products caused by human factors, thereby improving product yields. At the same time, due to increased production efficiency and reduced labor costs, the cost per unit of product is also reduced, enhancing the company's competitiveness.

[0026] In summary, the present invention realizes the fully automated attachment of special-shaped auxiliary materials by designing a device for attaching 3D special-shaped auxiliary materials, significantly improves production efficiency, attachment consistency, conductivity and adhesion, and reduces labor costs and product costs.
