Solution Overview

Problem

Existing lens modules in electronic devices face issues with dimensional tolerance, leading to potential collisions between the bracket and the circuit board during active alignment, which can cause damage to the circuit board.

Innovation Solution

The lens module design includes a connecting board with a first groove, where the circuit board is partially disposed and protrudes from the connecting board's surface, increasing the space between the connecting board and the bracket. This configuration allows for a thicker adhesive layer, reducing the risk of collision between the bracket and the circuit board without increasing the overall height of the lens module.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If the lens size and dimensional tolerance are large, then the lens can be manufactured more easily, but the risk of collision between the bracket and circuit board increases during active alignment

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelens manufacturing easeVSAvoidcircuit board damage risk
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

A cushioning structure is introduced as an intermediary element between the bracket and the circuit board. This cushioning structure absorbs the collision force during active alignment, preventing direct contact between the bracket and circuit board, thereby resolving the contradiction between ease of lens manufacturing and circuit board protection

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The cushioning structure is pre-installed in the bracket before the active alignment process. This beforehand cushioning ensures that when dimensional tolerance variations occur during lens assembly, the cushioning structure is already in place to prevent collision damage to the circuit board

Inventive Principle:
Principle #11Beforehand cushioning (Prior cushioning)
