Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flexible printed circuit board repair technology, specifically a novel FPC repair structure for camera modules. Background Technology

[0002] The flexible printed circuit board (FPC) in the camera module is a key component connecting the camera's optical components and the main processor. The FPC is highly customizable and flexible, and can adapt to various complex spatial layouts. However, during use, the FPC may fail due to various reasons, such as water ingress, oxidation, wear, and breakage, so the flexible printed circuit board needs to be repaired.

[0003] Currently, the repair of flexible printed circuit boards usually involves placing the circuit board on a repair table and then repairing it using tools such as a soldering iron. However, the circuit board needs to be fixed during the repair process, especially after it breaks. The broken part usually lifts up, so it is necessary to fix both sides of the break. Currently, the staff usually flattens the broken part with their fingers and then uses a soldering iron to melt the solder wire to connect the broken parts of the circuit board together. Since the soldering iron gets very hot after being powered on, and the staff is fixing the circuit board with one hand, it is easy to burn the staff's hand. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a novel FPC repair structure for camera modules to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A novel camera module FPC repair structure includes a base, a placement platform rotatably connected to the top of the base, and a fixing mechanism for fixing the circuit board slidably connected to both ends of the top of the placement platform.

[0007] The fixing mechanism includes two symmetrical sliders that slide on the placement platform. A connecting rod is fixedly connected to the top of the slider. A connecting plate is fixedly connected between the tops of the two connecting rods at opposite positions. A pressure plate is provided below the connecting plate. Connecting blocks that slide through the corresponding connecting rods are fixedly connected to both ends of the pressure plate. A spring is provided between the connecting block and the connecting plate and on the outside of the connecting rod.

[0008] Furthermore, the top of the pressure plate is fixedly connected to a tie rod that passes through the connecting plate at the corresponding position, and the top of the tie rod is fixedly connected to a retaining ring.

[0009] Furthermore, a fixed plate is fixedly connected to the top of the pressure plate, and a sliding rod slides through the side of the fixed plate, with a stop block fixedly connected to both ends of the sliding rod.

[0010] Furthermore, the outer side of the moving rod is fixedly connected with an anti-slip sleeve.

[0011] Furthermore, a rectangular frame is fixedly inserted through both ends of the top surface of the placement platform, and a sliding rod is fixedly connected between the two ends of the rectangular frame, which slides through the two sliders at the corresponding positions.

[0012] Furthermore, a sliding hole is provided through one side of one of the rectangular frames, and fastening bolts are screwed onto the sides of the two sliders located at the sliding hole.

[0013] Furthermore, the bottom of the placement platform is fixedly connected to a rotating platform that is rotatably connected to the base, and both ends of the bottom of the placement platform are fixedly connected to multiple bullseye rollers that contact the base. The bottom of the base is fixedly connected to multiple suction cups at equal angles in a ring.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1. By moving the two pressure plates up and away from the placement table until they are on both sides of the broken part of the circuit board, the circuit board is lowered and fixed by the elastic action of the two springs at the corresponding positions of the pressure plates. The circuit board does not need to be fixed by hand. The staff only needs to hold the soldering iron in one hand and the solder wire in the other hand, which can minimize the risk of the high temperature of the soldering iron burning the staff's hands. Moreover, by sliding the two fixing mechanisms on the placement table, it is possible to repair the broken parts at different locations on the circuit board.

[0016] 2. By moving and rotating the moving rod, multiple blocks press down on the irregular broken edges of the circuit board, and then the staff can carry out the repair. By fixing a protective sleeve on the outside of the moving rod, the rotation of the moving rod can be avoided as much as possible, so that the blocks can stably press down on the broken edges of the circuit board.

[0017] 3. By rotating the placement platform on the base, the circuit board can be directly rotated to change its orientation when repairing both ends of the circuit board. This eliminates the need to disassemble the circuit board, change its orientation, and then fix it back in place, thus streamlining the circuit board operation process and improving the efficiency of circuit board repair.

[0023] 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.

[0024] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 4 In this embodiment of the utility model, a novel camera module FPC repair structure includes a base 1, a placement platform 2 rotatably connected to the top of the base 1, and a fixing mechanism 3 for fixing the circuit board slidably connected to both ends of the top of the placement platform 2. The fixing mechanism 3 includes two symmetrical sliders 31 that slide on the placement platform 2. A connecting rod 32 is fixedly connected to the top of the slider 31. A connecting plate 33 is fixedly connected between the tops of the two connecting rods 32 at opposite positions. A pressure plate 34 is provided below the connecting plate 33. A connecting block 341 that slides through the connecting rod 32 at the corresponding position is fixedly connected to both ends of the pressure plate 34. A spring is provided between the connecting block 341 and the connecting plate 33 and outside the connecting rod 32.

[0025] Specifically, the broken flexible printed circuit board is first laid flat on the placement platform 2. Then, the two pressure plates 34 are moved upwards and separated from the placement platform 2 until they are on both sides of the broken part of the circuit board. Then, the circuit board is lowered and fixed by the elastic action of the two springs at the corresponding positions of the pressure plates 34. At this time, the worker can use a soldering iron to melt the solder wire to connect the broken parts of the circuit board. The worker does not need to fix the circuit board by hand. The worker only needs to hold the soldering iron in one hand and the solder wire in the other hand. This can minimize the risk of the soldering iron burning the worker's hand (although the soldering iron is relatively close to the worker's other hand during the soldering process, the solder wire held by the other hand can be stretched as much as possible, keeping the other hand as far away from the soldering iron as possible). Moreover, by sliding the two fixing mechanisms 3 on the placement platform 2, it is possible to repair the broken parts at different locations on the circuit board.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a pull rod 35 is fixedly connected to the top of the pressure plate 34 and passes through the connecting plate 33 at the corresponding position. A fixing ring is fixedly connected to the top of the pull rod 35. A fixing plate 36 is fixedly connected to the top of the pressure plate 34. A moving rod 37 slides through the side of the fixing plate 36. A stop block 371 is fixedly connected to both ends of the moving rod 37. An anti-slip sleeve is fixedly connected to the outer side of the moving rod 37.

[0028] In this embodiment, since some circuit boards have irregular fractures (such as S-shaped fractures), the two pressure plates 34 may not be able to completely flatten the irregular fractures. Since the moving rod 37 and the fixed plate 36 are connected, the moving rod 37 can be moved and rotated to press down the edges of the irregular fractures of the circuit board with multiple abutments 371. Then, when the staff is carrying out maintenance, by fixing a protective sleeve on the outside of the moving rod 37, the rotation of the moving rod 37 can be avoided as much as possible, so that the abutments 371 can stably press down the edges of the fractures of the circuit board.

[0029] Example 2

[0030] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a rectangular frame 21 is fixedly inserted through both ends of the top surface of the placement platform 2. A sliding rod 22 is fixedly connected between the two ends of the rectangular frame 21 and slides through two sliders 31 at corresponding positions. A sliding hole is opened through the side of one of the rectangular frames 21, and a fastening bolt 311 is screwed onto the side of the two sliders 31 located at the sliding hole.

[0031] In this embodiment, by sliding the slider 31 within the rectangular frame 21 at the corresponding position, and by sliding the slider 22 through the slider 31 at the corresponding position, the two fixing mechanisms 3 can slide on the placement platform 2, and the fixing mechanism 3 can be limited. The fixing mechanism 3 can be fixed on the placement platform 2 by fastening the bolt 311, so as to avoid the fixing mechanism 3 from sliding after the circuit board is fixed.

[0032] Example 3

[0033] like Figure 1 - Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a rotating platform 23 that is rotatably connected to the base 1 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the placement platform 2, and multiple bullseye rollers 24 that contact the base 1 are fixedly connected to both ends of the bottom of the placement platform 2, and multiple suction cups are fixedly connected to the bottom of the base 1 at equal angles in a ring.

[0034] In this embodiment, by rotating the placement platform 2 on the base 1, the direction of the circuit board can be directly changed by rotating the placement platform 2 when repairing both ends of the circuit board. This eliminates the need to disassemble the circuit board, change its direction, and then fix it. This streamlines the circuit board operation process and improves the efficiency of circuit board repair. Multiple suction cups are provided at the bottom of the base 1 to keep the device fixed on the table.

[0035] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.

This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
