Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of camera processing technology, and in particular to a turntable-type camera module AA device. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of intelligent driving, the demand for automotive cameras is increasing. The camera manufacturing process requires the use of optical active alignment equipment, also known as Active Alignment Machine (AA) technology. AA technology can adjust all six degrees of freedom of the camera to achieve alignment, and is a commonly used adjustment process in existing technology.
[0003] The fixtures on the turntable rotate at different workstations to sequentially package camera modules. However, different types of fixtures are required when producing different types of camera modules. Under current technology, when producing different types of cameras, the original fixtures on the turntable need to be removed and new fixtures need to be installed. After installing the new fixtures, the position of the fixtures needs to be corrected, which takes a long time. If the fixtures need to be changed frequently and the correction time is long, it will reduce production efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a turntable-type camera module AA device to solve the problem of long time consumption when changing different types of fixtures in the prior art.

[0016] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.
[0017] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0018] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.
[0019] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "right," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.
[0020] In the current technology, only one type of fixture is installed on the turntable. When it is necessary to switch to the production of different camera modules, different production modules need to be used. This requires removing the original fixture from the turntable and then installing a new fixture. After the new fixture is installed, it needs to be aligned and centered. However, the adjustment process takes a long time. If different types of cameras are frequently changed, production efficiency will be reduced.
[0021] To solve the above problems, such as Figure 1As shown, this utility model provides a turntable-type camera module AA device, including a base, a rotating shaft 2 mounted on the base, a turntable 1 mounted on the rotating shaft 2, the rotating shaft 2 drives the turntable 1 to rotate, a first fixture 4 is mounted circumferentially along the axis of the turntable 1, a second fixture 5 is mounted on the turntable 1, the second fixture 5 is installed between the first fixture 4, and a test position 3 is mounted on the base, the test position 3 can adjust the first fixture 4 and the second fixture 5 to the working position.
[0022] Test position 3 is set on the base. Test positions 3 are set sequentially at 0°, 90° and 180° around the turntable 1. The included angle between each adjacent test position 3 is 90°. The position of each fixture represents a camera production process. When the first fixture 4 or the second fixture 5 is first installed at the test position 3, it needs to be leveled and corrected, which takes a long time and reduces production efficiency. Therefore, this utility model directly installs all the different fixtures required for producing different cameras on the turntable 1, and then corrects the first fixture 4 and the second fixture 5 one by one. When switching fixtures in the future, only the angle of the turntable 1 needs to be rotated, and there is no need to level the first module or the second module again, which can save time and improve production efficiency.
[0023] Example 1
[0024] The first fixture 4 of this utility model includes four sets, which are equally spaced and installed around the turntable 1. The second fixture 5 also includes four sets, which are installed between the first fixtures 4. The second fixtures 5 are equally spaced and installed around the turntable 1. The first fixture 4 can produce one type of camera, while the second fixture 5 can produce another type of camera. After all the first fixtures 4 and second fixtures 5 are installed on the turntable 1, all fixtures need to be rotated to the test position 3 to eliminate errors and level them. Then, the required lens module is produced. When switching to another set of molds for production, rotating the turntable 1 can switch between the first fixture 4 and the second fixture 5 without further adjustment, saving time and improving production efficiency.
[0025] The second fixture 5 of this invention is installed at the midpoint of the arc-shaped edge between the first fixture 4. This allows the second fixture 5 to be installed in the middle of the first fixture 4. When it is necessary to switch between different fixtures, the turntable 1 only needs to rotate 45° to switch between different types of fixtures without repeatedly disassembling and assembling fixtures, saving time and improving production efficiency.
[0026] The AA device for the turntable type 1 camera module is equipped with a controller. When switching from the first fixture 4 to the second fixture 5, the controller drives the turntable 1 to rotate 45°. During the production process, the controller controls the turntable 1 to rotate 90°. The controller enables flexible switching of the rotation angle of the turntable 1. When switching from the second fixture 5 to the first fixture 4, the controller drives the turntable 1 to rotate 45°. The controller can automatically control the switching timing of the AA device for the turntable type 1 camera module, thereby improving production efficiency.
[0027] In this embodiment, three sets of test positions 3 are installed, and each test position 3 corresponds to one of the three sets of first fixtures 4 or the three sets of second fixtures 5 on the turntable 1.
[0028] Example 2
[0029] In this embodiment, the first fixture 4 includes three sets, which are installed at equal intervals around the turntable 1. The second fixture 5 includes three sets, which are installed between the first fixtures 4. The second fixture 5 is equidistant from the first fixtures 4 on both sides. When switching to the first fixture 4 or the second fixture 5, the turntable 1 rotates 60°, which allows switching between different fixtures. When the turntable 1 rotates 120°, it can perform normal production on a single camera.
[0030] Example 3
[0031] The first fixture 4 consists of five sets, which are installed at equal intervals around the turntable 1. The second fixture 5 consists of five sets, which are installed between the first fixtures 4. The second fixture 5 is equidistant from the first fixtures 4 on both sides. When switching to the first fixture 4 or the second fixture 5, the turntable 1 rotates 36°. Switching can be made between the first fixture 4 and the second fixture 5. During normal production, the turntable 1 rotates at an angle of 72°.
[0032] Example 4
[0033] The first fixture 4 includes two sets, which are installed at equal intervals around the turntable 1. The second fixture 5 includes two sets, which are installed between the first fixtures 4. The second fixture 5 is equidistant from the first fixtures 4 on both sides. When switching to the first fixture 4 or the second fixture 5, the turntable 1 rotates 90°. During normal production, the turntable 1 rotates 180°.
[0034] The turntable 1 of this utility model can be equipped with two or more types of fixtures, and can be switched arbitrarily in the production process of three or more types of cameras. In order to leave installation space for different fixtures, the area of the turntable 1 can be increased so that multiple fixtures can be installed on the turntable 1 of this utility model. At the same time, each type of fixture can be installed in any number, which can adapt to different production processes of camera modules and improve the adaptability of this utility model.
[0035] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
