[0025] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, a camera module bracket is provided, including a bracket body 10 with a built-in metal plate (not shown). The camera module bracket is a component of the camera module in a camera.

[0026] The side of the bracket body 10 is molded with a silicone strip 20 by injection molding, and the silicone strip 20 protrudes from the side of the bracket body. Specifically, after the silicone strip 20 is processed, it protrudes from the surface of the bracket body 10. When the horizontal plane is used as a reference plane to flatten the camera module bracket of this utility model, the horizontal height of the top surface of the silicone strip 10 is higher than the horizontal height of the top surface of the bracket body 10.

[0027] Furthermore, the side of the bracket body 10 is provided with an adhesive area, and the adhesive area is provided with an adhesive layer. The silicone strip 20 is connected and fixed to the bracket body through the adhesive layer.

[0028] The following uses the secondary processing method of the camera module bracket to illustrate its difference from existing technologies. For example... Figure 6 As shown, the secondary processing specifically includes the following steps:

[0029] S100: Cleaning, cleaning the surface of the support body 10; the support body 10 can be processed according to the incoming materials;

[0030] S200: Plasma, the cleaned support body 10 is placed into the plasma equipment for plasma treatment;

[0031] S300: Apply adhesive, apply adhesive to the designated bonding area on the support body 10 after plasma treatment.

[0032] S400: Baking, place the bracket body 10 after glue application into the oven for baking;

[0033] S500: Molding, the baked bracket body 10 is placed into the mold, and silicone strips 20 are formed by injecting molten silicone into the bonding areas of the bracket body 10 where glue has been applied.

[0034] S600: Vulcanization. The bracket body 10, after being molded with silicone strips 20, is placed in an oven for simultaneous vulcanization and baking, ultimately forming the camera module bracket provided in this embodiment of the present invention (see...). Figures 1-3 ).

[0035] The camera module bracket provided in this embodiment of the utility model has an integral structure of plastic, metal, and silicone. It has good cushioning and shock absorption performance. The silicone strip 20 formed on the side of the plastic bracket body 10 is soft and elastic, which can effectively absorb the impact and vibration of the camera module during use, protect the precision components inside the camera module, and reduce the risk of component damage or image quality degradation caused by vibration. At the same time, it also has excellent sealing performance, which can fit tightly with the outer shell of the camera module to form a good sealing effect, preventing dust, moisture and other impurities from entering the lens of the camera module, ensuring the optical performance and service life of the lens of the camera module. Moreover, it also has high temperature resistance and cold resistance, and can maintain stable performance over a wide temperature range, ensuring the normal operation of the camera module in both high temperature and cold conditions.

[0036] In one embodiment of this utility model, in step S100, the oven's compartment partition and inner walls are first cleaned with an alcohol-soaked lint-free cloth and allowed to dry. Next, the surface of the support body 10 is wiped with a clean lint-free cloth dampened with anhydrous ethanol. Then, the cleaned support body 10 is placed on a clean tray. Finally, the tray is placed in the oven for baking at a temperature of 80–100°C for 5–6 minutes. For example, the baking temperature can be 80°C, 90°C, or 100°C; the baking time can be 5 minutes, 5 minutes 30 seconds, or 6 minutes.

[0037] The bracket body 10 is an incoming material and its appearance needs to be inspected to ensure that the product's appearance, dimensions, and dyne values ​​meet the standards. During the cleaning process of the bracket body 10, direct hand contact is strictly prohibited to avoid contamination. Workers must wear clean gloves when wiping the surface of the bracket body 10. This ensures adequate preparation for subsequent injection molding steps, enabling more efficient bonding.

[0038] In one embodiment of this utility model, in step S200, the support body 10 is placed in a mesh tray, the mesh tray is placed in a plasma device, and the oxygen and argon gas cylinders are turned on for plasma treatment. The standard pressure for both oxygen and argon is 0.5–0.6 MPa; for example, the standard pressures for oxygen and argon can be 0.5 MPa or 0.6 MPa. The plasma treatment duration is 420–450 seconds; for example, it can be 420 seconds, 430 seconds, 440 seconds, or 450 seconds. In this step of this embodiment, plasma treatment of the clean support body 10 also facilitates better bonding between the support body 10 and the silicone in subsequent processing steps.

[0039] In one embodiment of this utility model, in step S300, FY-435-C1 type adhesive is applied non-contactly to the bonding area on the bracket body 10 using a bamboo skewer. In this embodiment, adhesive is further applied to the bonding area on the surface of the bracket body 10 to form an adhesive layer.

[0040] In one embodiment of this utility model, in step S400, the oven's compartment partition and inner wall are first cleaned with an alcohol-soaked lint-free cloth and allowed to dry. Then, the bracket body 10, with adhesive applied, is placed on a clean tray. Finally, the tray is placed in the oven for baking at a temperature of 110–130°C, for example, 110°C, 120°C, or 130°C. The baking time is 10–12 minutes, for example, 10 minutes, 11 minutes, or 12 minutes. In this embodiment, the baking process softens the adhesive layer, giving it a time-sensitive effect, allowing the silicone strip 20 injected in subsequent processes to bond more stably and effectively with the adhesive layer, thereby enabling the silicone strip 20 to be formed on the side of the bracket body 10.

[0041] In one embodiment of this utility model, in step S500, the upper cover of the mold is opened, the bracket body 10 is placed in and pressed tightly, and then the upper cover is closed. Molten silicone is injected at a temperature of 110-150°C until a silicone strip 20 is formed on the bracket body 10. The silicone strip 20 is formed on the side of the bracket body 10 by injection molding. This silicone strip 20 can bond with the adhesive layer, thereby achieving a stable connection between the silicone strip 20 and the bracket body 10.

[0042] In one embodiment of this utility model, in step S600, the oven's compartment partition and inner wall are first cleaned with an alcohol-soaked lint-free cloth, and then dried. Next, the support body 10 is placed in a clean sieve. Finally, the sieve is placed in the oven for vulcanization baking at a temperature of 80–100°C, for example, 80°C, 90°C, or 100°C; the baking time is 240–260 minutes, for example, 240 minutes, 250 minutes, or 260 minutes. This final step achieves vulcanization treatment on the support body 10 with the molded silicone strip 20, further improving the wear resistance, high-temperature resistance, and corrosion resistance of the silicone strip 20, while also improving the surface gloss and feel of the silicone strip 20.

[0043] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 3-5As shown, at least one connecting groove 11 is provided in the bonding area of ​​the bracket body 10. An adhesive layer is provided in the connecting groove 11. A connecting boss 12 is provided at the position corresponding to the connecting groove 11 on the silicone strip 20. The connecting boss 12 is bonded to the connecting groove 11 through the adhesive layer. In this embodiment, the side bonding area of ​​the bracket body 10 has a specific structure, namely the connecting groove 11. Thus, the silicone strip 20 formed at this position forms a connecting boss 12 that is adapted to the structure of the connecting groove 11. Through the interlocking of the connecting boss 12 and the connecting groove 11, the stability and reliability of the connection between the silicone strip 20 and the bracket body 10 are further enhanced.

[0044] In one embodiment of this utility model, further, as shown in the figure Figures 3-5 As shown, a recessed groove protrusion 12 is provided in the connecting groove 11, and a boss groove 22 is provided in the connecting boss 12. The boss groove 22 is adapted to the recessed groove protrusion 12. That is to say, the cooperation between the bracket body 10 and the silicone strip 20 not only involves the concave-convex cooperation between the connecting boss 12 and the connecting groove 11, but also the concave-convex cooperation between the boss groove 22 and the recessed groove protrusion 12. This achieves a stable cross-convex-convex cooperation between the inner and outer rings of the connection area between the silicone strip 20 and the plastic body, which can more effectively enhance the reliability and stability of the connection between the silicone strip 20 and the bracket body 10.

[0045] There can be multiple bonding areas, depending on the actual needs. For example, different plastic brackets made from different materials require different numbers of bonding areas.

[0046] Similarly, one or more connecting grooves 11 can be provided in the bonding area, and each connecting groove 11 can also be provided with one or more groove protrusions 12. Then, corresponding connecting bosses 12 and grooves can be provided in the silicone strip 20 at appropriate positions to cooperate with and stably connect.

[0047] This utility model embodiment also provides a camera module bracket, which is formed by the above-described secondary processing method for camera module brackets. The camera module bracket processed by the secondary processing method of this utility model embodiment has good cushioning and shock absorption performance, excellent sealing performance, and high temperature and cold resistance.

[0048] This utility model embodiment also provides a camera having the camera module.

[0049] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
