[0025] like Figures 1-4 As shown, in some embodiments, the UV curing equipment for the camera module 40 includes a housing 20, a curing support track 30, and an irradiation lamp 50. Specifically, a curing chamber 22 is provided inside the housing 20, and both the curing support track 30 and the irradiation lamp 50 are disposed within the curing chamber 22. The irradiation lamp 50 is designed to be mounted on the edge of the curing support track 30. This arrangement ensures that the irradiation lamp 50 can effectively irradiate the camera module 40 placed on the curing support track 30, thereby achieving a highly efficient UV adhesive curing process. This design of the UV curing equipment can improve curing efficiency and also ensure the stability and safety of the camera module 40 during the curing process.
[0026] In addition, the curing bearing track 30 comprises a spiral track 31 and a spiral baffle 33, which are arranged correspondingly. The spiral baffle 33 is arranged on the upper part of the spiral track 31, which design enables the spiral baffle 33 to fix the camera module 40 from the upper part, so as to ensure that the camera module 40 can move smoothly along the spiral track 31 during the curing process, and the spiral baffle 33 can also prevent the module from falling during the movement, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the entire curing process. This design not only improves the efficiency of the curing process, but also ensures the safety and stability of the camera module 40 during the curing process, making the entire curing process more efficient, safe and reliable.
[0027] Specifically, the camera module 40 is installed in the tray 60, and the tray 60 is placed on the spiral track 31. Through the external traction device, the tray 60 is pulled to move along the spiral track 31, ensuring that the camera module 40 is within the irradiation range of the irradiation lamp 50, thereby promoting the curing of the glue.
[0028] In this process, the curing chamber 22 does not need to be opened, effectively avoiding the operator from contacting the ultraviolet light and reducing the operation risk. According to the time required for the glue to cure, the moving speed of the tray 60 is adjusted to ensure that the camera module 40 stays in the curing chamber 22 for a sufficient time to complete the curing. In this way, the entire curing process can be carried out continuously, significantly improving the work efficiency of the curing operation.
[0029] Further, in some embodiments, the device further comprises a fixed shaft 10. This fixed shaft 10 is fixedly connected with the shell 20 and is designed in the middle of the curing chamber 22, which is connected with the curing bearing track 30. This design ensures the stability of the curing bearing track 30, thereby ensuring the stability of the UV curing process. This structure significantly improves the reliability of the curing bearing track 30. Specifically, the fixed shaft 10 provides a solid support point for the entire UV curing device, so that the camera module 40 can move smoothly along the curing bearing track 30 during the UV curing operation. In addition, due to the stable movement of the camera module 40 during the curing process, the UV light source can be more uniformly irradiated to the module surface, which not only improves the curing efficiency, but also improves the curing quality of the camera module 40, ensuring the performance and reliability of the final product.
[0030] Further, in some embodiments, the four sides of the curing chamber 22 are provided with side walls 21, and the inner surfaces of these side walls 21 are each mounted with a reflective film that can concentrate the ultraviolet light onto the spiral track 31, improving the efficiency of ultraviolet light use. In particular, one of the side walls 21 is provided with an entrance 24 and an exit 25, the entrance 24 is arranged at the lower left corner of the side wall 21, and the exit 25 is arranged at the upper right corner of the side wall 21, so that the camera module 40 enters the curing chamber 22 from the entrance 24, passes through the spiral track 31, and then exits from the exit 25, completing the curing operation of the camera module 40. In addition, the four corners of the curing chamber 22 are designed as rounded corners to reduce the loss of light reflection at the corners. This design not only helps to improve the curing efficiency, but also ensures that the camera module 40 will not have quality problems due to uneven light distribution during the curing process.
[0031] The bottom of the curing chamber 22 is provided with a bottom plate 23, and the irradiation lamp tube 50 is fixedly connected with the bottom plate 23. The layout of the irradiation lamp tube 50 is carefully designed to ensure that the UV light can uniformly cover the entire curing area, thereby improving the curing efficiency and quality of the camera module 40. This design enables the UV curing device to more efficiently and accurately complete the curing process when processing the camera module 40, thereby improving the overall performance and reliability of the product.
[0032] Further, in some embodiments, the curing bearing track 30 further includes a first fixed rod 32 and a second fixed rod 35, the two ends of the first fixed rod 32 are respectively fixedly connected with the fixed shaft 10 and the spiral baffle 33, and similarly, the two ends of the second fixed rod 35 are respectively fixedly connected with the fixed shaft 10 and the spiral track 31. In addition, the first fixed rod 32 is installed on the upper part of the second fixed rod 35. The first fixed rod 32 and the second fixed rod 35 are respectively designed with multiple, so that the spiral track 31 and the spiral baffle 33 can be fixed with the fixed shaft 10 through multiple connection points, providing sufficient support points to ensure the stability of the camera module 40 during the curing process.
[0033] The two ends of the spiral baffle 33 are respectively provided with a connecting block 34, one of which is arranged at the entrance 24, and the other is arranged at the exit 25. The two connecting blocks 34 are arranged to fix the spiral baffle 33 with the side wall 21, so as to ensure that the spiral baffle 33 can work stably during the UV curing process, preventing the position of the camera module 40 from deviating due to vibration or movement.
[0034] As shown in FIG. 6, the UV curing device 1 further includes a camera module 40, which is arranged in the curing chamber 22 and is used to capture images of the camera module 40 during the curing process. The camera module 40 is arranged on a movable platform 41, which is connected with a driving mechanism 42. The driving mechanism 42 is used to drive the movable platform 41 to move along the spiral track 31, so as to ensure that the camera module 40 can be evenly irradiated by the UV light during the curing process. Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, a plurality of illumination lamps 50 are provided, which are ingeniously arranged in two different illumination areas. One of the illumination areas is specially arranged on the outer side of the curing carrier track 30, and the other illumination area is specially arranged on the inner side of the curing carrier track 30. These illumination lamps 50 are all uniformly directed towards the direction of the spiral track 31, so as to be able to uniformly and effectively perform UV curing treatment on the passing camera module 40. This design not only improves the UV curing efficiency, but also ensures the quality consistency of the camera module 40 during the curing process, thereby improving the efficiency of the entire production process and the final quality of the product.
