[0041] This utility model proposes a camera module raw material tray 100.

[0042] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 In one embodiment of the present invention, the top wall of the camera module raw material tray 100 is provided with a fixing groove 100a for accommodating camera module raw materials, and the bottom wall of the fixing groove 100a is provided with a through hole 100b; the camera module raw material tray 100 is also provided with a drainage hole 100c, which passes through the top wall and the bottom wall of the camera module raw material tray 100 in sequence.

[0043] In this embodiment, to automate the camera module production process, the tray needs to be placed on a conveyor belt for transportation and transferred between processes such as cleaning, assembly, and baking. Therefore, to prevent damage such as the housing 210, lens 302, and PCBA board 303 from moving and falling during transportation, the top wall of the tray in this embodiment is provided with a fixing groove 100a. The shape of the fixing groove 100a is designed according to the outer contour of the raw material. When the raw material is placed in the fixing groove 100a, the outer wall of the raw material engages with the inner wall of the fixing groove 100a, thus preventing the raw material from sliding or rolling on the tray and reducing the risk of the raw material falling during transportation. Furthermore, by setting a fixed number of fixing grooves 100a, it is convenient to count the raw materials and match the production rate. For example, the shape of the fixing groove 100a can be designed as a square groove suitable for placing the PCBA board 303, or as a circular groove suitable for placing the lens 302. The shape and size of the fixing groove 100a can be designed to be compatible with various types of raw materials. For example, lenses 302 come in various models, and the sizes of the fixing groove 100a corresponding to these models are different. Therefore, the inner wall of the fixing groove 100a can be set as a stepped shape. Larger lenses 302 can be fitted onto the upper step, and smaller lenses 302 can be fitted onto the lower step. Figure 4 The tray shown can hold two different types of lenses 302. The housing 301 or PCBA tray avoids interference points, using only universal clearance spaces as support components to ensure compatibility with various camera module materials. Figure 1 The camera module material tray 100 shown can be used to place the housing 210 in both the forward and reverse orientations, so that the lens 302 and PCBA board 303 can be assembled on both sides of the housing 210 respectively.

[0044] Before assembly, materials such as lens 302 need to be cleaned to remove dust and other contaminants. To meet the requirements of the cleaning process, the camera module material tray 100 is also provided with drainage holes 100c to prevent water accumulation on the camera module material tray 100 from affecting subsequent assembly processes. The drainage holes 100c are configured to penetrate the top wall and bottom wall of the camera module material tray 100 sequentially, allowing water to drain off the tray under gravity. The drainage holes 100c can be arranged around the fixing groove 100a or on the bottom wall of the fixing groove 100a.

[0045] After cleaning, to prevent residual cleaning solution from affecting the performance of the assembled product, a baking process is performed after the cleaning process to evaporate the cleaning solution. A relatively sealed space is formed between the camera module material and the bottom wall of the fixing tank 100a, and the bottom wall of the fixing tank 100a to some extent hinders the transfer of heat to the camera module material. To ensure sufficient evaporation of the cleaning solution, a through hole 100b is provided in the bottom wall of the fixing tank 100a to enhance the air permeability of the camera module material tray 100 and facilitate cleaning solution evaporation. The size of the through hole 100b is set smaller than the size of the bottom wall of the fixing tank 100a, retaining part of the bottom wall to meet the needs of supporting the camera module material. Furthermore, providing the through hole 100b in the bottom wall of the fixing tank 100a reduces the weight of the camera module material tray 100 to some extent, reducing the energy consumption of the transportation equipment and saving production costs.

[0046] The camera module raw material tray 100 proposed in this embodiment has a fixing groove 100a on its top wall for accommodating camera module raw materials, and a through hole 100b on its bottom wall; the camera module raw material tray 100 is also provided with a drainage hole 100c, which passes through the top wall and the bottom wall of the camera module raw material tray 100 in sequence. The raw materials for the camera module are fixed to the camera module raw material tray 100 via the fixing groove 100a, preventing the raw materials from sliding or even falling and being damaged, thus meeting the requirements of the transportation process in automated manufacturing. Furthermore, the camera module raw material tray 100 is equipped with drainage holes 100c to prevent water accumulation on the top wall of the tray 100 from affecting the next process, thus meeting the requirements of the cleaning process. The bottom wall of the fixing groove 100a has through holes 100b, enhancing the tray's breathability, facilitating the evaporation of cleaning fluid, and preventing cleaning fluid residue, thus meeting the requirements of the baking process. Therefore, the camera module raw material tray 100 of this invention has high versatility and can meet the requirements of multiple processes such as transportation, cleaning, and baking. Compared to configuring a single tray for each process, the camera module raw material tray 100 of this embodiment only requires one mold for production, eliminating the need to produce multiple trays using multiple molds, thus reducing production costs.

[0047] Further, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 In one embodiment of this utility model, the top wall of the camera module material tray 100 is provided with a first mating part, and the bottom wall of the camera module material tray 100 is provided with a second mating part that is adapted to the first mating part. The second mating part is provided corresponding to the first mating part. When at least two camera module material trays 100 are stacked, the first mating part of one camera module material tray 100 is inserted into the second mating part of another camera module material tray 100.

[0048] In this embodiment, empty pallets before loading are typically stacked together to reduce space occupation and facilitate pallet retrieval during subsequent loading. However, when these pallets are stacked, slippage may occur between the upper and lower layers, causing the stacked pallets to collapse and affecting the automated process. Therefore, this embodiment provides a first mating part on the top wall of the camera module raw material pallet 100 and a second mating part adapted to the first mating part on the bottom wall of the camera module raw material pallet 100, with the positions of the first and second mating parts corresponding. When at least two camera module raw material pallets 100 are stacked, the first mating part of the lower camera module raw material pallet 100 engages with the second mating part of the upper camera module raw material pallet 100, thus strengthening the connection between the upper and lower camera module raw material pallets 100 and preventing relative slippage between them. Exemplarily, the first mating part and the second mating part can be implemented by the insertion and mating of the protrusion 101 and the groove 100d, and magnetic suction parts can also be provided on the first mating part and the second mating part to further strengthen the connection between the upper and lower trays.

[0049] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 In one embodiment of the present invention, the top wall of the camera module material tray 100 is provided with at least two first mating parts spaced apart, and the bottom wall of the camera module material tray 100 is provided with at least two second mating parts spaced apart. Each second mating part is correspondingly provided with a first mating part. When at least two camera module material trays 100 are stacked, the first mating part on each camera module material tray 100 is inserted into the second mating part on the other camera module material tray 100; and / or, one of the first mating parts and the second mating part is a protrusion 101, and the other is a groove 100d.

[0050] In this embodiment, the camera module materials include three types: housing 210, lens 302, and PCBA board 303. Therefore, three types of trays matching the outer contours of these three components are provided: housing 210 tray, lens 302 tray, and PCBA board 303 tray. The three trays are identical in size. To prevent workers from misusing them, a foolproof design is implemented. Specifically, two or more spaced first mating parts are provided on the top wall of the tray, and two or more corresponding spaced second mating parts are provided on the bottom wall of the tray. The spacing or number of the first mating parts differs among the three types of trays, and the second mating parts are correspondingly positioned to match the first mating parts. When trays of different types of materials are stacked, due to the difference in number or spacing, the first and second mating parts of the upper and lower trays cannot perfectly fit together, making it easily noticeable to workers and automated equipment in the process. For example, when the camera module raw material tray 100 is being separated, a gap may appear between the upper and lower camera module raw material trays 100 due to the inability to fit perfectly. Furthermore, the upper camera module raw material tray 100 may be lifted up, preventing the clamping cylinder from acting on the clamping slots 100i on both sides of the upper tray. The sensor of the clamping cylinder will then issue an alarm because it does not touch the inner wall of the clamping slot 100i. This can prevent the mixing of trays containing different raw materials.

[0051] Further, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 8 In one embodiment of this utility model, the top wall of the camera module raw material tray 100 is also provided with an identification part 102, which is used for identification by identification equipment in the automated process.

[0052] In this embodiment, the identification unit 102 can be identified by identification equipment in the automated process. The identification unit 102 can adopt a structure with a QR code or barcode, etc., to record the type information or priority information of the camera module raw materials in the tray, so as to facilitate the orderly execution of various processes in the automated process. Preferably, the identification unit 102 in this embodiment uses a QR code identification block, and a slot is provided on the top wall of the camera module raw material tray 100. The QR code block can be placed in the slot and engaged with the slot, so the QR code block can be replaced at any time to update the information of the camera module raw materials in the tray. It is understood that the identification unit 102 can be directly set on the tray by means of pasting or engraving. In order to facilitate manual inspection and supervision of the automated process, an indicative structure or mark such as an arrow can also be set on the tray to indicate the transportation direction of the camera module raw material tray 100 in the automated process, so as to facilitate manual inspection and judgment of whether the automated process is operating normally.

[0053] Furthermore, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 8In one embodiment of the present invention, the top wall of the camera module raw material tray 100 is formed with a first marking area 100e and a second marking area 100f. The first marking area 100e and the second marking area 100f are respectively located on the two sides of the top wall of the camera module raw material tray 100. The first marking area 100e is provided with N marking parts 102, and the second marking area 100f is provided with M marking parts 102, wherein N≠M and N≥1 and M≥1.

[0054] In this embodiment, by setting two symmetrically arranged marking areas on the top wall of the camera module raw material pallet 100, and setting marking parts 102 in each marking area, the pallet can be read by the machine's identification equipment in both forward and reverse directions during transportation in different stages, and also has the function of identifying the reverse direction of the pallet. It should be noted that each process corresponds to a machine, and the operation of the process is realized by various automated equipment on the machine, such as washing machines, robotic arms, or dryers. Identification devices such as cameras or barcode scanners are usually set on one side of the machine, which can identify the marking parts 102 on one side of the pallet. Therefore, the above solution of this embodiment ensures that the marking parts 102 on the pallet can be identified in the entire process of camera module manufacturing, improving the versatility of the camera module raw material pallet 100. Furthermore, since the marking parts 102 are mirror-asymmetrically distributed in the first marking area 100e and the second marking area 100f, they have the function of identifying the forward and reverse direction of the pallet, which can effectively avoid production problems caused by incorrect pallet placement.

[0055] Further, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment of the present invention, the top wall of the camera module raw material tray 100 is provided with a plurality of fixing grooves 100a, which are distributed along a straight line and spaced apart; the top wall of the camera module raw material tray 100 is also provided with a through groove 100g, which extends along the plurality of fixing grooves 100a and sequentially connects the plurality of fixing grooves 100a.

[0056] In this embodiment, to optimize space utilization and improve assembly efficiency, multiple fixing slots 100a are provided on the top wall of the camera module raw material tray 100, and these fixing slots 100a are distributed along a straight line and spaced apart. The straight line distribution makes the placement of the camera module raw materials on the tray more neat and orderly, facilitating quick and accurate gripping and placement by automated equipment, thereby improving assembly efficiency. The spaced arrangement ensures sufficient space between each fixing slot 100a, avoiding mutual interference and collision between raw materials, while maximizing the space utilization of the tray. The straight line distribution and spaced arrangement of the fixing slots 100a design allows the tray to adapt to various process requirements, such as cleaning, assembly, and baking, improving the tray's versatility.

[0057] The top wall of the camera module raw material pallet 100 is also provided with a through groove 100g. The through groove 100g extends along and connects to multiple fixed grooves 100a in sequence. In this way, a space is formed between every two fixed grooves 100a, which can be inserted into by automated gripping equipment, facilitating gripping by the automated equipment. In addition, the through groove 100g can further reduce the weight of the camera module raw material pallet 100, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the transportation equipment and the cost of the pallet raw materials.

[0058] Further, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 9 In one embodiment of this utility model, the camera module raw material tray 100 is further provided with a positioning pin hole 100h, which sequentially penetrates the top wall and the bottom wall of the camera module raw material tray 100; and / or, clamping grooves 100i are respectively provided on the opposite side walls of the camera module raw material tray 100, which are used for clamping by clamping equipment in the automated process; and / or, the bottom wall of the camera module raw material tray 100 is further provided with a weight reduction groove 100j.

[0059] In this embodiment, the camera module material tray 100 is also provided with positioning pin holes 100h. The positioning pin holes 100h pass through the top wall and the bottom wall of the camera module material tray 100 in sequence. The positioning pin holes 100h are used to position the camera module material tray 100. In this embodiment, the camera module material tray 100 is designed with two positioning pin holes 100h, which can be used with the machine platform pins for precise positioning. That is, the tray can be accurately fixed by inserting the pins on the machine platform, thereby improving the accuracy of material gripping and placement.

[0060] The camera module raw material tray 100 has clamping slots 100i on its opposite side walls. These clamping slots 100i are used for clamping by clamping equipment in automated processes. It should be noted that, to enable the camera module raw material tray 100 to be used in various processes, clamping cylinders or robotic arms are used in automated processes to move the camera module raw material tray 100. When the camera module raw material trays 100 are stacked, the gap between the upper and lower trays is small, making it inconvenient for clamping equipment to perform clamping operations. Therefore, clamping slots 100i are provided on both sides of the camera module raw material tray 100 to provide space for clamping equipment.

[0061] The bottom wall of the camera module raw material pallet 100 is also provided with a weight-reducing groove 100j. The weight-reducing groove 100j can be set along the length of the pallet and avoid the fixing groove 100a on the top wall of the camera module raw material pallet 100 to prevent the pallet structure from being too weak in some areas, which would reduce its load-bearing capacity. By setting the weight-reducing groove 100j, the weight of the camera module raw material pallet 100 can be reduced, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the transportation equipment and the raw material cost of the camera module raw material pallet 100.

[0062] This utility model also proposes a pallet storage compartment 200.

[0063] Please see Figure 11 , Figure 13 and Figure 14 In one embodiment of the present invention, the tray storage compartment 200 includes a housing 210 and a locking mechanism 220; the housing 210 has a receiving cavity 210a for accommodating the camera module raw material tray 100 as described in any of the above embodiments, and the housing 210 also has a first opening 210b communicating with the receiving cavity 210a; one end of the locking mechanism 220 is rotatably connected to the housing 210, and the other end of the locking mechanism 220 can be engaged with the housing 210; wherein, the tray storage compartment 200 has a locked state and an open state; in the locked state, the locking mechanism 220 engages with the housing 210 and blocks the first opening 210b to confine the camera module raw material tray 100 within the receiving cavity 210a; in the open state, the locking mechanism 220 can rotate relative to the housing 210 to move closer to or further away from the first opening 210b.

[0064] In this embodiment, the pallet storage compartment 200 is mainly used to store the camera module raw material pallet 100. The pallet storage compartment can be transported as a whole, for example, after it is fully loaded, it can be transferred, facilitating management and reducing the number of transfers. The shell 210 is the main body of the pallet storage compartment 200 and can be made of aluminum with an anodized surface. To reduce the weight of the shell 210, it can be designed as a hollow structure while maintaining structural strength. Furthermore, a second opening 210c is provided on the side of the shell 210 opposite to the first opening 210b to further reduce the weight of the shell 210 and improve its transparency. Correspondingly, a stop strip 215 is designed to seal the second opening 210c, preventing the pallet from sliding out. The receiving cavity 210a of the shell 210 has a multi-layered support structure 211, dividing the receiving cavity 210a into multiple upper and lower layered receiving spaces. In this embodiment, the support structure 211 employs horizontally symmetrically arranged ribs within the receiving cavity 210a. It is understood that the support structure 211 could also employ multiple spaced support blocks distributed horizontally. Positioning holes are provided at the bottom of the housing for stable engagement with the machine tool, and slots are provided on the bottom and sides of the housing for enhanced fixation. A QR code or barcode identification structure is provided on the top of the housing 210, facilitating the identification and reading of information corresponding to the raw materials or products stored within the housing 210 by automated equipment.

[0065] The housing 210 also has a first opening 210b communicating with the receiving cavity 210a. The camera module material tray 100 enters or leaves the receiving cavity 210a through the first opening 210b. A locking mechanism 220 is provided at the first opening 210b to confine the camera module material tray 100 within the receiving cavity 210a, preventing the camera module material tray 100 from falling out of the receiving cavity 210a and causing damage during transportation. One end of the locking mechanism 220 is rotatably connected to the housing 210, and the other end of the locking mechanism 220 can be engaged with the housing 210; therefore, the tray storage compartment 200 has a locked state and an open state. In the locked state, the locking mechanism 220 engages with the housing 210 and blocks the first opening 210b to confine the camera module material tray 100 within the receiving cavity 210a; in the open state, the locking mechanism 220 can rotate relative to the housing 210 to move closer to or away from the first opening 210b. When the pallet storage compartment 200 is full or when transportation is required, the adjustable locking mechanism 220 can lock the pallet storage compartment 200 to close the first opening 210b. During storage, the adjustable locking mechanism 220 can open the pallet storage compartment 200 to keep the first opening 210b open.

[0066] Please see Figure 11 , Figure 12 and Figure 14 In one embodiment of this utility model, the locking mechanism 220 includes a first rotating shaft 221, a spring 222, a first connecting member 223, a stop bar 224, a second connecting member 225, and a second rotating shaft 226. A limiting member 212 is formed on the bottom wall of the housing 210. The first rotating shaft 221 is rotatably connected to the top wall of the housing 210. The first connecting member 223 is connected to the first rotating shaft 221. The spring 222 is sleeved outside the first rotating shaft 221, with one end of the spring 222 abutting against the first connecting member 223 and the other end abutting against the top wall of the housing 210. The second rotating shaft 226 is rotatably connected to the bottom wall of the housing 210 and is connected to the first rotating shaft 226. 21 are coaxially arranged, with the second connector 225 connected to the second rotating shaft 226; the stop rod 224 connects the first connector 223 and the second connector 225; in the locked state, the spring 222 lifts the first connector 223, the limiting member 212 engages with the second connector 225, and the stop rod 224 blocks the first opening 210b to limit the camera module material tray 100 to be located within the receiving cavity 210a; in the open state, the first connector 223 compresses the spring 222, the limiting member 212 disengages from the second connector 225, and the stop rod 224 can rotate relative to the housing 210 around the first rotating shaft 221 to approach or move away from the first opening 210b.

[0067] In this embodiment, the locking mechanism 220 includes a first rotating shaft 221, a first connecting member 223, a stop bar 224, a second connecting member 225, and a second rotating shaft 226 connected in sequence. The first connecting member 223, the stop bar 224, and the second connecting member 225 can rotate around the first rotating shaft 221 and the second rotating shaft 226 to block the first opening 210b or move away from the first opening 210b. When the spring 222 is not subjected to external force, the elastic force of the spring 222 will lift the first connecting member 223, the stop bar 224, and the second connecting member 225 as a whole. At this time, the limiting member 212 on the bottom wall of the housing 210 prevents the rotation of the second connecting member. When the second connecting member 225 is limited between the limiting member 212 and the periphery of the first opening 210b, the stop bar 224 blocks the first opening 210b. At this time, the camera module raw material tray 100 cannot freely enter or leave the receiving cavity 210a, and the tray storage compartment 200 is in a locked state.

[0068] By pressing the top of the spring 222, the second connector 225 can pass over the limit member 212. At this time, by rotating the first connector 223, the stop bar 224, and the second connector 225, the stop bar 224 can be moved away from the first opening 210b and the first opening 210b can be restored to unobstructed access, and the pallet storage compartment 200 is in an open state.

[0069] Further, please refer to Figures 10 to 14In one embodiment of the present invention, the top wall of the housing 210 is provided with a handle 213; and / or, the two opposite outer side walls of the housing 210 are respectively provided with fork-carrying blocks 214, and the bottom wall of the fork-carrying blocks 214 is provided with a insertion groove 214a.

[0070] In this embodiment, a foldable handle 213 is provided on the top of the housing 210, which makes it convenient for operators to lift with one hand; forklift blocks 214 can also be provided on both sides of the housing 210, which facilitate the picking and forklift movement of the robotic arm, thereby improving the transportation convenience and applicability of the pallet storage compartment 200.
