[0002] Currently, mobile phones primarily consist of core hardware modules, including the display, camera, motherboard, battery, and speaker. These modules undergo rigorous functional testing before leaving the factory to ensure 100% functionality, and are then assembled on automated production lines. The typical testing method for these modules is to place them in a dedicated fixture, precisely position the B2B connector, and then use a probe to contact the connector, transmitting an electrical signal to complete the testing process.

[0003] In particular, for camera modules, not only must the B2B connector be precisely positioned, but the camera must also be precisely positioned. This typically involves securing the camera module and then aiming it at a specific test chart to test key functions such as autofocus, sharpness, field curvature, and astigmatism. If the camera is not precisely positioned, the resulting image test data will inevitably be skewed.

[0004] However, the current fixtures for positioning camera modules mostly use manual pressing. The actual measured pressing force of the manual pressing structure is about 10N. Operators need to press the push block when taking and placing products. It is calculated that the operators need to press the push block more than 1,200 times a day, which will cause finger fatigue. In addition, the pressing point of the push block is outside the fixture, and when the fixture is bumped, the push block will be damaged.

[0005] Therefore, based on the above problems, if an automatic side-push positioning structure can be designed, this structure is not only simple in structure and can quickly and accurately position the product, but also easy to operate.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the utility model includes a flip module 1, a carrier module 2 and a camera module 3, one end of the flip module 1 is rotationally matched with the carrier module 2, the camera module 3 is limitedly matched on the carrier module 2, and the carrier module 2 is provided with a side push assembly 4 and a snap assembly 5, and the flip module 1 is provided with a pressure block 20 that is limitedly matched with the side push assembly 4, the pressure block 20 pushes the side push assembly 4 to be limitedly matched with the camera module 3, the snap assembly 5 is fixedly matched at the other end of the carrier module 2, and the snap assembly 5 is limitedly matched with the other end of the flip module 1. It can be seen that the carrier module 2 supports and fixes the side push assembly 4 and the snap assembly 5, and the flip module 1 supports and fixes the pressure block 20. During the flipping process of the flip module 1, the pressure block 20 is pressed downward, and the pressure block 20 pushes the side push assembly 4. The side push assembly 4 limits the camera module 3, and the snap assembly 5 limits and fixes the flip module 1 after flipping.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, in this embodiment, a large rotating shaft 10 is provided on one end of the flip module 1 that is rotatably engaged with the carrier module 2. The large rotating shaft 10 is positionally engaged with the carrier module 2, and the flip module 1 is rotatably engaged with the carrier module 2 via the large rotating shaft 10. Thus, the carrier module 2 supports and secures the large rotating shaft 10, and the large rotating shaft 10 provides a rotatable connection between the flip module 1 and the carrier module 2.

[0022] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the side push assembly 4 includes a push block 40, a limit block 41, a limit cover plate 42 and a number of compression springs 43. The push block 40 and the limit block 41 are both slidably fitted on the carrier module 2. The push block 40 and the limit block 41 are limit-fitted to each other. A number of the compression springs 43 are respectively arranged between the push block 40 and the carrier module 2 and between the push block 40 and the limit block 41. The limit block 41 is limit-fitted to the camera module 3, and the limit cover plate 42 is limit-fitted to the carrier module 2. It can be seen that the carrier module 2 plays a role of supporting and slidingly guiding the push block 40 and the limit block 41, the push block 40 plays a role of pushing the limit block 41, and the limit block 41 plays a role of pushing the camera module 3, so that the camera module 3 is limited in the horizontal direction, and the limit cover 42 plays a role of protecting the push block 40, the limit block 41 and the compression spring 43. At the same time, it also plays a role of limiting the pressing block 20 during the downward pressing process. Several of the compression springs 43 play a role of absorbing energy and also play a role of connecting power.

[0023] like Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the buckle assembly 5 includes a fixed seat 50, a small rotating shaft 51 and a rotating buckle block 52. The fixed seat 50 is fixedly fitted on the other end of the carrier module 2, and the small rotating shaft 51 is limitedly fitted on the fixed seat 50. The rotating buckle block 52 is rotationally limited with the camera module 3 through the small rotating shaft 51. Several tension springs 53 are arranged between the fixed seat 50 and the rotating buckle block 52, and the two ends of the several tension springs 53 are respectively limited with the fixed seat 50 and the rotating buckle block 52. It can be seen that the fixed seat 50 supports and limits the small rotating shaft 51, the small rotating shaft 51 provides a rotational connection between the fixed seat 50 and the rotating buckle block 52, the rotating buckle block 52 limits the camera module 3, so that the camera module 3 is limited on the carrier module 2, and the tension spring 53 connects one end of the rotating buckle block 52 and the fixed seat 50, and at the same time, it also has an elastic effect, which can drive the rotating buckle block 52 to restore its original posture.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the carrier module 2 is further provided with a positioning assembly 6, which is limitedly engaged with the flip module 1. Thus, the carrier module 2 supports and fixes the positioning assembly 6, and the positioning assembly 6 positions the flip module 1 when engaged with the carrier module 2.

[0025] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the large rotating shaft 10 is provided with a plurality of torsion springs 11, and the ends of the plurality of torsion springs 11 are respectively engaged with the flip module 1 and the carrier module 2. Thus, it can be seen that the large rotating shaft 10 supports and fixes the plurality of torsion springs 11, and the plurality of torsion springs 11 absorb the energy of the rotation of the flip module 1. When the flip module 1 is not engaged with the carrier module 2, the plurality of torsion springs 11 reset the flip module 1.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a rounded corner is provided on one end of the push block 40, and rounded corners are provided on all four sides of the pressure block 20. The rounded corners on the push block 40 are limitedly engaged with the rounded corners on the pressure block 20. Thus, it can be seen that the rounded corners on the push block 40 and the pressure block 20 serve as guides during the mutual engagement of the push block 40 and the pressure block 20.

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the positioning assembly 6 includes a plurality of positioning pins 60, which are fixedly engaged with the carrier module 2 and limit-engaged with the flip module 1. Thus, it can be seen that the carrier module 2 supports and fixes the positioning pins 60, and the positioning pins 60 provide positioning for the flip module 1 when engaged with the carrier module 2.

[0028] In this embodiment, the working principle of the utility model is as follows:

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, the flip module 1 and the carrier module 2 are in a non-matched state, and the operator turns the flip module 1 so that the flip module 1 and the carrier module 2 are in a matched state (as shown in FIG. Figure 2As shown in the figure), when the carrier module 2 is flipped and matched with the flip module 1, the pressing block 20 moves downward to squeeze the side push assembly 4, and the side push assembly 4 generates a lateral thrust to push the camera module 3 to move until the degrees of freedom of the camera module 3 in the x and y directions are restricted. At this time, the flip module 1 of the fixture continues to press downward until the flip module 1 is buckled with the buckle assembly 5, pressing the camera module 3 and restricting the degrees of freedom in the Z direction, so that the camera module 3 is positioned.

[0030] When the camera module 3 needs to be removed, the buckle assembly 5 is moved, and the flip module 1 is restored to the unengaged state under the elastic force of the torsion spring 11, and the side push assembly 4 is also restored to its original position under the compression spring 43. The cycle continues in sequence.

[0031] Although the embodiments of the present invention are described with practical solutions, they do not limit the meaning of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, it is obvious to modify the implementation scheme and combine it with other solutions based on this description.
