The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0032] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , wherein Figure 1The utility model provides a schematic diagram of assembling the camera module for notebook computer is provided, and in order to be convenient for intuitive understanding the structure of camera module, shielding cover 7 is transparent. Specifically, the camera module for notebook computer includes first circuit board 1, second circuit board 2, camera assembly 3, electric connector 4 and electronic device 5. Second circuit board 2 is spaced apart and arranged on first circuit board 1, and electric connector 4 is arranged between first circuit board 1 and second circuit board 2, so that first circuit board 1 and second circuit board 2 realize electric connection and position fixation. And camera assembly 3 is installed on first circuit board 1 and is set in staggered position with second circuit board 2, for avoiding second circuit board 2. Electronic device 5 is installed on first circuit board 1 and second circuit board 2, and realizes electric connection with first circuit board 1 and second circuit board 2. Second circuit board 2 is spaced apart and arranged on first circuit board 1, and realizes fixation and electric connection of both through electric connector 4, avoids the circuit board too long and appears easy to break, improves the stability and durability of camera module, and the long circuit board is divided into two and is stacked, reduces the length of circuit board, satisfies miniaturization design demand. Among them, camera assembly 3 includes lens, support and photosensitive chip (not shown in the drawing), photosensitive chip is arranged on first circuit board 1 and is electrically connected with first circuit board 1, lens is installed on first circuit board 1 through support and lens is located directly above photosensitive chip, and the light collected through lens is irradiated on photosensitive chip to form an image.

[0033] In an embodiment, the first circuit board 1 and the second circuit board 2 are both in a long strip shape, and the extension directions of the first circuit board 1 and the second circuit board 2 are consistent, i.e., the orientations of the long sides of the first circuit board 1 and the second circuit board 2 are consistent. It can be understood that the circuit board of the camera module for notebook computer is in a long strip shape. The existing circuit board is too long and is prone to breakage, and occupies a large space in the notebook computer. In the present design, the long circuit board is divided into the first circuit board 1 and the second circuit board 2 which are spaced apart and have consistent extension directions, thereby solving the problem of the circuit board being too long, and avoiding the circuit board being prone to breakage and occupying a large space in the notebook computer.

[0034] In an embodiment, the camera assembly 3 is located at the edge of the first circuit board 1. In a conventional camera module for notebook computer, the camera assembly 3 is arranged at the middle position of the circuit board. Considering the need to divide the excessively long circuit board into two parts arranged above and below, the camera assembly 3 is shifted to the edge of the first circuit board 1, thereby providing sufficient overlapping areas for the first circuit board 1 and the second circuit board 2, ensuring that the length of the circuit board can be minimized to meet the miniaturization design requirement.

[0035] In an embodiment, the camera module for a notebook computer further comprises an external connector seat 6 mounted on the side of the first circuit board 1 away from the camera assembly 3. The external connector seat 6 serves to ensure that the camera module for a notebook computer can be electrically connected with the notebook computer, facilitating data transmission and power supply, which can be a board-to-board connector, a flexible circuit board connector, a USB interface or a Type-C interface. The camera and the external connector seat 6 are respectively arranged on the two sides of the first circuit board 1, ensuring that the first circuit board 1 is uniformly stressed at both ends, reducing the risk of breakage of the first circuit board 1; at the same time, the external connector seat 6 and the camera assembly 3 can fully utilize the space of the first circuit board 1.

[0036] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the electrical connector 4 comprises a connector female seat 41 and a connector male seat 42, wherein the connector female seat 41 is provided with a slot, and a metal spring is arranged in the slot, the connector male seat 42 is provided with a pin, and the pin is made of metal, and the connector female seat 41 and the connector male seat 42 are electrically connected and fixed by plug-in connection. The connector female seat 41 is mounted on the first circuit board 1 or the second circuit board 2, and the corresponding connector male seat 42 is mounted on the second circuit board 2 or the first circuit board 1, i.e. the connector female seat 41 and the connector male seat 42 are respectively arranged on the first circuit board 1 and the second circuit board 2, realizing the fixation and electrical connection of the first circuit board 1 and the second circuit board 2. The electrical connector 4 for fixing and electrically connecting the first circuit board 1 and the second circuit board 2 is set as the plug-in connector female seat 41 and the connector male seat 42, reducing the complexity of the connection of the first circuit board 1 and the second circuit board 2, facilitating the quick assembly of the first circuit board 1 and the second circuit board 2, and the plug-in connector female seat 41 and the connector male seat 42 also improve the stability of electrical connection.

[0037] In an embodiment, the electronic components include flash, DSP, LDO and their supporting capacitors and resistors, which mainly serve to ensure the normal operation of the camera module. Specifically, as shown in Figure 4 , the electronic device 5 comprises a first electronic component 51 and a second electronic component 52, the first electronic component 51 is welded on the surface of the first circuit board 1 facing the second circuit board 2, the second electronic component 52 is welded on the surface of the second circuit board 2 facing the first circuit board 1, and the first electronic component 51 and the second electronic component 52 are oppositely and spacedly arranged. Among them, the first electronic component 51 and the second electronic component 52 are both small electronic devices 5. The first electronic component 51 and the second electronic component 52 are arranged between the first circuit board 1 and the second circuit board 2, and oppositely and spacedly arranged, fully utilizing the gap between the first circuit board 1 and the second circuit board 2, avoiding the need for installation of the first electronic component 51 and the second electronic component 52, increasing the area of the first circuit board 1 and the second circuit board 2, and making the camera module meet the miniaturization design requirement.

[0038] In an embodiment, the electronic device 5 includes a third electronic element 53 and a fourth electronic element 54, the third electronic element 53 is welded on the surface of the first circuit board 1 facing the second circuit board 2, the fourth electronic element 54 is welded on the surface of the second circuit board 2 facing the first circuit board 1, and the third electronic element 53 and the fourth electronic element 54 are arranged in a staggered manner. Among them, the third electronic element 53 and the fourth electronic element 54 are both small electronic devices 5. Considering that the third electronic element 53 and the fourth electronic element 54 are relatively large in size, if they are mounted between the first circuit board 1 and the second circuit board 2, in order to avoid interference, the gap between the first circuit board 1 and the second circuit board 2 will inevitably be increased, which will increase the size of the camera module. Therefore, the third electronic element 53 and the fourth electronic element 54 are arranged in a staggered manner to ensure that the camera module meets the miniaturization design requirements.

[0039] In an embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 , the camera module for a notebook computer further includes a shielding cover 7, the shielding cover 7 is wrapped on the first circuit board 1 and the second circuit board 2, and the electronic device 5 is sealed. The shielding cover 7 is arranged around the first circuit board 1 and the second circuit board 2 and seals the electronic device 5, which plays a role of grounding and electromagnetic shielding, and ensures that the electronic device 5 can work normally. It should be noted that the shielding cover 7 mainly wraps the electronic device 5, and will not block the camera assembly 3 and the external connecting seat 6.

[0040] In an embodiment, the shielding cover 7 is a conductive cloth or a copper foil. Similarly, in order to ensure that the camera module meets the miniaturization design requirements, the shielding cover 7 is made of a flexible structure of a conductive cloth or a copper foil, which is convenient for the shielding cover 7 to be directly wrapped on the outer side of the first circuit board 1 and the second circuit board 2. It can be understood that, compared with the hard structure of the traditional shielding cover, considering the installation redundancy, the volume of the traditional shielding cover will inevitably be increased. Therefore, the shielding cover 7 made of a flexible structure of a conductive cloth or a copper foil is smaller in size.

[0041] On the other hand, the utility model also provides a notebook computer, the notebook computer includes the camera module for notebook computer described above.

[0042] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation manners of the utility model, and the description is more specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as a limitation on the patent scope of the utility model. It should be noted that, for ordinary skilled persons in the art, without departing from the concept of the utility model, a number of modifications and improvements can be made, which all belong to the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model patent should be subject to the appended claims.
