Solution Overview

Problem

Particles generated during the focusing assembly of mobile phone cameras with fixed focal length drop directly on the chip's surface, affecting image quality due to the threaded focusing mechanism.

Innovation Solution

A mobile phone camera module design featuring a bracket assembly with an accommodation cavity, a flexible circuit board, a chip, a lens assembly, and a connecting portion, where the connecting portion is an adhesive layer made of AA glue, ensuring the lens and bracket assemblies are fixed without a threaded structure, preventing particles from falling on the chip and enhancing stability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a threaded focusing mechanism is used to enable focusing assembly, then the camera can perform focusing function, but particles are generated and drop on the chip surface affecting image quality

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefocusing functionVSAvoidparticle contamination on chip
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent removes the threaded focusing mechanism entirely from the camera module. The lens assembly is fixed to the bracket assembly using adhesive without any threading, which eliminates the source of particle generation while maintaining the focusing capability through alternative means

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical threaded focusing system with a non-threaded adhesive bonding system. This substitution eliminates the mechanical threads that generate particles during assembly, thereby preventing particle contamination on the chip surface

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Strength

If a threaded focusing mechanism is used for assembly, then the lens and bracket can be connected, but the assembly process generates particles that affect image quality

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection between lens and bracketVSAvoidparticles from threaded assembly
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the mechanical threaded connection system with a chemical adhesive bonding system. The adhesive provides sufficient connection strength between the lens assembly and bracket assembly without generating particles during the bonding process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the connection method from mechanical (threaded) to chemical (adhesive bonding). This parameter change in the connection mechanism eliminates particle generation while maintaining or improving the connection strength between components

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Device complexity

If the camera module uses traditional threaded focusing assembly, then the structure is simple, but particles drop on the chip during assembly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly structureVSAvoidparticle contamination
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and removes the threaded focusing mechanism from the camera module design. This elimination of the threaded component simplifies the overall structure by removing unnecessary parts while simultaneously preventing particle contamination during assembly

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
