Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0031] like Figures 1-5 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides a threadless dispensing fixture for a camera module lens assembly, comprising:

[0032] The base plate 1 has multiple placement slots 11 for fixing the voice coil motor of the lens assembly at its upper end. The multiple placement slots 11 are arranged in a rectangular array at the upper end of the base plate 1.

[0033] Positioning plate 2 is disposed on the upper end of the base plate 1. The positioning plate 2 is provided with mounting hole 21 for the lens to pass through. The mounting hole 21 corresponds to the placement groove 11. The positioning plate 2 has a mounting surface that can be fitted and installed with the voice coil motor.

[0034] The cover plate 3 is disposed on the upper end of the positioning plate 2, and the lower end of the cover plate 31 is provided with a groove 31, the top wall of the groove 31 forming a contact surface that abuts against the lens of the lens assembly.

[0035] In this embodiment, when using the threadless dispensing fixture, the cover plate 3 and positioning plate 2 are first removed. Voice coil motors are placed in the placement slots 11 on the upper end of the base plate 1, with the slot size matching the voice coil motor, thus fixing the voice coil motor within the placement slot 11. Then, the positioning plate 2 is installed on the upper end of the base plate 1, with its lower end fitting against the upper end of the voice coil motor in the placement slot 11, thus fixing the voice coil motor. Next, the lens is installed on the voice coil motor through the mounting holes 21 on the positioning plate 2. After the connector is installed, the dispensing operation between the voice coil motor and the lens can be performed. After dispensing, the cover plate 3 is installed on the upper end of the positioning plate 2, with the bottom wall of the groove 31 abutting against the lens surface. The lens is pressed down, fixing the voice coil motor and the lens. At this time, the positioning plate 2 ensures that multiple voice coil motors are on the same horizontal plane, and the cover plate 3 ensures that multiple lenses are on the same horizontal plane, thus ensuring uniform size of the lens assembly after processing on the threadless dispensing fixture. Finally, remove the cover plate 3 and the positioning plate 2 in sequence to remove the lens assembly. The threadless dispensing fixture in this embodiment has a high precision in dispensing and bonding. The bonding precision between the voice coil motor and the lens needs to reach ±0.01mm. After dispensing, the voice coil motor and the lens are covered with a transparent acrylic cover plate 3 for fixation and transferred to the next process for UV curing. This ensures the consistency of the height and dimensions of the lens assembly after dispensing, thereby improving the dispensing precision.
