Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of camera processing and cleaning technology, specifically a novel cleaning fixture for semi-finished camera modules. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of camera manufacturing, there are multiple processing steps, and cleaning the semi-finished camera module is one of them.

[0003] To ensure safety during the cleaning of semi-finished camera modules, the vent holes on the semi-finished camera modules must be sealed after the lens mount is attached and baked before cleaning.

[0004] Currently, the main method for sealing the vent holes on semi-finished camera modules is adhesive sealing. This process requires the use of a dispensing machine, which undoubtedly increases production costs. Furthermore, the sealing of the vent holes requires a sealing test, which adds to the camera processing steps and reduces the production efficiency of camera module manufacturing. In addition, adhesive overflow is prone to occur during the dispensing process, affecting the semi-finished camera module and resulting in defective products.

[0005] Therefore, we propose a cleaning fixture for semi-finished camera modules to solve the aforementioned technical problems and defects. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a new type of cleaning fixture for semi-finished camera modules to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0009] The sealing mechanism includes a movable component, a groove structure, a sealing spring, and a sealing column structure. The groove structure is located on both sides of the top of the movable component. The sealing spring is disposed in the inner cavity of the groove structure. The sealing column structure is fixedly installed at the middle of the bottom of the movable component.

[0010] Preferably, limit posts are fixedly installed at the four corners of the top of the fixture base structure, and limit holes adapted to the limit posts are provided at the four corners of the top of the fixture cover plate structure.

[0011] Preferably, the limiting post is a threaded post, and a nut structure is threaded on the outer ring of the limiting post.

[0012] Preferably, limit bolts are installed through both sides of the bottom of the movable component, and the top of the outer ring of the limit bolt is provided with a threaded structure.

[0013] Preferably, the top of the fixture cover structure is provided with a cleaning hole structure for cleaning, the sealing mechanism is located on the side of the cleaning hole structure, and the top of the fixture base structure is provided with a pressure groove structure for positioning the camera module.

[0014] Preferably, the movable component and the sealing post are an integral structure, and the movable component is a rubber block structure, while the sealing post is specifically a rubber column structure.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] This new type of camera module semi-finished product cleaning fixture, through the design and use of fixture base structure, fixture cover plate structure and sealing mechanism, can seal the vent holes of batch camera modules in one go. After cleaning, the camera modules can be directly removed, and the vent holes and interior of the camera modules are in a dry state, which effectively reduces the process and cost of cleaning camera modules.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a novel technical solution for cleaning a semi-finished camera module fixture:

[0023] Example:

[0024] The cleaning fixture mainly includes a fixture base structure 1 and a fixture cover structure 2, with a sealing mechanism provided at the bottom of the fixture cover structure 2.

[0025] The sealing mechanism mainly includes a movable component 4 and a sealing column structure 7. The sealing column structure 7 and the movable component 4 are an integral structure, and the sealing column structure is located at the middle of the bottom of the movable component 4.

[0026] The movable component 4 has groove structures 5 on both sides of the top, and a sealing spring 6 is provided in the inner cavity of the groove structure 5. Limiting bolts 3 are installed through the bottom of the movable component 4 on both sides.

[0027] Among them, the four corners of the top of the fixture base structure 1 are fixedly installed with limit posts 8, and the four corners of the top of the fixture cover plate structure 2 are provided with limit hole structures that are adapted to the limit posts 8.

[0028] Among them, cleaning holes are provided at equal intervals on the top of the fixture cover structure 2, the sealing mechanism is located on the side of the cleaning port structure, and a shallow groove structure for positioning the camera module is provided on the top of the fixture base structure 1.

[0029] Both the movable component 4 and the sealing column structure 7 are made of rubber. The design of using rubber components for the movable component 4 and the sealing column structure 7 is mainly to avoid damage to the semi-finished camera module during the compression of the vent holes on the semi-finished camera module.

[0030] The top of the outer ring of the limit bolt 3 is provided with a threaded structure, and the movable component 4 is installed on the bottom of the fixture cover structure 2 through the limit bolt 3.

[0031] The limiting bolt 3 is a columnar structure with a large bottom, and its length is greater than the thickness of the movable component 4. The dimensional limitation between the limiting bolt 3 and the movable component 4 is mainly to allow for vertical movement when the camera module is being squeezed, making it suitable for sealing the vent holes of camera modules of different thicknesses.

[0032] In this embodiment, when using the cleaning fixture of this technical solution, the semi-finished camera module to be cleaned is directly placed on the shallow groove structure on the fixture base structure 1. Then, the fixture cover plate structure 2 with the sealing mechanism is fitted onto the limiting post 8, and the top of each limiting post 8 is locked with a nut. During the locking process, the fixture cover plate structure 2, together with the sealing mechanism at its bottom, moves downward synchronously. When the fixture cover plate structure 2 is placed, due to the reverse force of the sealing spring 6, the sealing post structure 7 has already pressed against the vent hole of the camera module. When the fixture cover plate structure 2 continues to move downward, the sealing post structure 7 will deform and adapt to the shape of the vent hole of the camera module, thereby achieving a complete seal of the vent hole. The diameter of the sealing post structure 7 is larger than the diameter of the vent hole on the camera module. Then, the fixture device carrying several camera modules can be moved to the cleaning equipment for cleaning.

[0033] In this technical solution, through the design and use of the fixture base structure 1, the fixture cover structure 2, and the sealing mechanism, the vent holes of a batch of camera modules can be sealed at one time. After cleaning, the camera modules can be directly removed, and the vent holes and their interiors on the camera modules are dry, effectively reducing the process and cost of cleaning the camera modules.

[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
