Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model mainly relates to the field of electronic hysteroscopy technology, specifically a solderless and easy-to-assemble camera module for a disposable electronic hysteroscopy. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most disposable electronic hysteroscopy camera module components used in the market are wire structures, such as... Figure 1 The disposable electronic hysteroscope shown includes a chip 22 mounted on a data cable 21, a lens 23 docked with the chip 22, and a headstock 24 covering the outside of the lens 23. The headstock 24 has a glass 26 aligned with the lens and LEDs 25 located on both sides of the glass 26. The production of the disposable electronic hysteroscope camera module involves processes such as wire processing, wire welding, headstock welding, and component assembly. This process suffers from drawbacks such as difficulty in assembly and testing, resulting in significant manpower and material costs, low production efficiency, and a high degree of manual intervention, which greatly affects the yield rate of the produced products. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model provides a solution that is significantly different from existing technologies, addressing the problem that existing solutions are too simplistic. It mainly provides a solderless, easy-to-assemble camera module for disposable electronic hysteroscopes, which solves the technical problem mentioned in the background that current disposable electronic hysteroscope modules on the market require soldering and are difficult to assemble.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:

[0005] A solderless, easy-to-assemble camera module for a disposable electronic hysteroscope includes a flexible circuit board and a lens and an LED bonded to the flexible circuit board. The flexible circuit board has a lens bonding area for bonding the lens and an LED bonding area for bonding the LED. A chip is provided on the lens bonding area, and the LED bonding area is located next to the lens bonding area. A pluggable connector is provided on the flexible circuit board away from the lens bonding area.

[0006] Preferably, the flexible circuit board has two LED bonding areas, and the two LED bonding areas are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the lens bonding area.

[0007] Furthermore, the portion of the flexible circuit board where the LED bonding area is located is separately from the portion where the lens bonding area is located.

[0008] Preferably, the flexible circuit board is elongated, with the area away from the lens bonding area and the LED bonding area located at the head of the flexible circuit board, and the pluggable connector located at the tail of the flexible circuit board.

[0009] Preferably, the components on the flexible circuit board are concentrated at both ends, and the width of the middle portion of the flexible circuit board is smaller than the width of the two ends.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0011] This invention integrates the camera module assembly into a single unit using a flexible circuit board. During assembly, the lens and LED are bonded and mounted onto the flexible circuit board, and then directly inserted into the end of a disposable electronic hysteroscopy lens. Compared to existing technologies for producing and assembling disposable electronic hysteroscopy camera modules, this eliminates cumbersome wire processing and complex circuit model assembly steps, achieving a solder-free and easy-to-assemble design. Simultaneously, it reduces manual intervention, improving production efficiency and yield.

[0012] The flexible circuit board of this invention is equipped with a pluggable connector, which facilitates the installation of the camera module assembly. During application testing, it is convenient to connect and disassemble the camera module assembly, thus providing convenience for the testing work.

[0013] The present invention will be explained in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Attached Figure Description

[0017] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, a more comprehensive description of the utility model will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings, which show several embodiments of the utility model. However, the utility model can be implemented in different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described in the text. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to make the disclosure of the utility model more thorough and comprehensive.

[0018] Example 1: Please refer to the appendix for details. Figure 2A solderless, easily assembled camera module for a disposable electronic hysteroscope includes a long, flexible circuit board 1, two LEDs, and a lens. The head of the flexible circuit board 1 has a lens bonding area 11 and two symmetrical LED bonding areas 12 located on either side of the lens bonding area 11. A chip 13 is mounted on the lens bonding area 11. The tail of the flexible circuit board 1 has a pluggable connector 14. The two LEDs are glued to the LED bonding areas 12, and the lens is glued to the lens bonding area 11. The arrangement of the flexible circuit board 1 enables electrical connections between the LEDs, chips, lens, and pluggable connector 14.

[0019] Figure 2 In the diagram, D1 and D2 are two LEDs used in the lighting system, C1, C2, and C3 are capacitors used for filtering and noise reduction in the circuit, chip 13 refers to the image sensor, and JP1 is the pluggable connector 14. The pluggable connector 14 connects to the back-end circuitry to power the entire flexible circuit board, supplying power to the LEDs and image sensor, and transmitting the acquired video information to the back-end circuitry. The entire electrical system is produced fully automatically. The lens is part of the post-installation process and serves a focusing function.

[0020] This invention integrates the camera module assembly into a single unit using a flexible circuit board 1. During production, the flexible circuit board 1 is first manufactured, then the lens and LED are glued together and directly inserted into the end of a disposable electronic hysteroscopic lens. During assembly, if there is no image detection step, no connections are required. If electrical and optical performance testing is needed, the entire assembly is connected to a dedicated fixture for the relevant electrical and optical performance tests. The camera module assembly with a pluggable connector 14 facilitates testing applications. Therefore, the camera module assembly provided by this invention does not require soldering, making component assembly and testing more convenient. Furthermore, it reduces manual intervention, improving production efficiency and yield.

[0021] Example 2: The difference between this example and Example 1 is that:

[0022] The portion of the flexible circuit board 1 containing the LED bonding area 12 is separately from the portion containing the lens bonding area 11. This separate arrangement allows the LED bonded to the LED bonding area 12 to move relative to the lens, thereby facilitating LED position adjustment.

[0023] The components on the flexible circuit board 1 are concentrated at both ends, and the width of the middle part of the flexible circuit board 1 is smaller than the width of the two ends.

[0024] Everything else is the same as in Example 1.

[0025] Example 3: The difference between this example and Example 2 is that:

[0026] The flexible circuit board 1 has only one LED bonding area 12 located next to the lens bonding area 11.

[0027] The rest is the same as in Example 2.

[0028] The present invention has been described above by way of example in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the specific implementation of the present invention is not limited to the above-described manner. Any non-substantial improvement made by adopting the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention, or the direct application of the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention to other occasions without modification, shall be within the protection scope of the present invention.
