Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of optical fingerprint module technology, specifically relating to a blind-hole type optical fingerprint module with a threaded lens. Background Technology

[0002] As optical fingerprint unlocking software technology matures and its applications expand, its security requirements are also increasing. Conventional optical fingerprint unlocking modules may no longer be able to meet the performance requirements, such as the unlocking distance, unlocking brightness, and unlocking security level.

[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent (CN209562659U) disclosing a lens, specifically a dustproof lens for electronic terminal products. The dustproof lens includes a camera module comprising a lens and a focusing ring. The outer wall of the lens has a plurality of locking petals spaced apart, with a locking gap between adjacent locking petals. The lower surface of the focusing ring has a limiting protrusion that mates with the locking gap. A receiving groove for collecting impurities is provided at the locking gap, and the receiving groove is recessed towards the lens axis. This invention effectively prevents small impurities from entering the camera module during assembly, improves lens manufacturing quality, and extends the lifespan of the camera module.

[0004] This patent features several locking petals spaced apart on the outer wall of the lens, with a locking gap between adjacent locking petals. In use, a focusing fixture is inserted into the locking gap to rotate the lens for focusing. However, the petal-type locking structure is prone to slippage and misalignment under extreme conditions, resulting in poor appearance of the lens end face.

[0005] Based on this, we designed a blind-hole optical fingerprint module with a threaded lens. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the problem of slippage in existing lens petal-shaped locking structures by providing a blind-hole type optical fingerprint module with a threaded lens.

[0007] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0008] A blind-hole type optical fingerprint module with a threaded lens includes a lens mount and a lens. The front of the lens mount is provided with a mounting groove for mounting and fixing the lens and providing it with load-bearing capacity.

[0009] The lens is cylindrical in shape and threaded onto the lens mount. The front of the lens has multiple blind holes for the focusing fixture to hold the lens in place and rotate the lens clockwise or counterclockwise to mount it onto the lens mount. The focus position is adjusted by changing the distance between the lens and the chip through rotation.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the blind-hole type threaded lens optical fingerprint module provided by this utility model, the inner wall of the mounting groove of the lens mount is provided with a threaded groove.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the optical fingerprint module with a blind hole type threaded lens provided by this utility model, the outer wall of the back of the lens is provided with a threaded protrusion that matches the threaded groove.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the optical fingerprint module with a blind hole type threaded lens provided by this utility model, the number of blind holes on the lens is at least four, and the blind holes are distributed in a ring array.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the blind-hole type optical fingerprint module with threaded lens provided by this utility model, the blind hole is an arc-shaped groove, a circular groove, an elliptical groove, or a fan-shaped groove.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of the optical fingerprint module with a blind hole and threaded lens provided by this utility model, the blind hole is disposed on the front side of the lens near the edge.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment of the blind-hole type optical fingerprint module with threaded lens provided by this utility model, a rubber layer is provided on the inner wall of the blind hole, and the surface of the rubber layer is provided with anti-slip teeth.

[0016] As a preferred embodiment of the optical fingerprint module with a blind-hole threaded lens provided by this utility model, after the lens mount and lens complete the focusing action, UV glue is applied in the thread gap to fix the position of the lens relative to the lens mount, so as to avoid focus drift.

[0017] This invention has the following advantages over the prior art:

[0018] This invention features a blind hole on the front of the lens, allowing for clockwise or counterclockwise rotation of the lens by using a focusing fixture to adjust the distance between the lens and the chip, thus achieving focus adjustment at different distances. This also avoids the problem of slippage and misalignment of existing petal-shaped locking structures when docking with focusing fixtures, which can result in poor lens appearance.

[0019] This invention features a rubber layer on the inner wall of a blind hole, with anti-slip teeth on the surface of the rubber layer. When the focusing fixture is inserted into the blind hole, the rubber layer increases the friction between the fixture and the focusing fixture, further preventing slippage.
