Description

A mobile terminal and camera module of the mobile terminal

technical field

The invention relates to the technical field of mobile terminals, in particular to a mobile terminal and a camera module of the mobile terminal.

Background technique

As users have higher and higher requirements for smart terminals, the current mobile terminals have more and more functions, and accordingly, there are more and more functional electronic devices on the mobile terminals. Mobile terminals generally have a camera function, which is accomplished by a camera module of the mobile terminal. As people's requirements for photo quality are getting higher and higher, dual cameras and even more cameras appear in relatively new mobile terminals.

During the assembly process of the camera module, the camera of the camera module is usually fixed on the camera bracket by dotting glue, and the bonding of the glue realizes the fixing of the camera on the camera bracket, and then realizes the positioning of the camera. The above assembly process is completed by dispensing equipment.

Glue dispensing equipment is relatively precise working equipment, and it is necessary to ensure the accuracy of the dispensing position during the dispensing process, which leads to the problem of high cost for fixing the camera. At the same time, in the assembly process of the mobile terminal, the dispensing process is in the set process, that is to say, the bonding operation of the camera and the camera bracket can only be performed in the set process and the set position (only in the set position). The area where the dispensing equipment is arranged in the factory building), this makes the assembly method of the camera and the camera bracket inflexible, and is limited by the assembly sequence and position, which makes the current assembly of the camera and the camera bracket inflexible.

Contents of the invention

The invention discloses a mobile terminal and a camera module of the mobile terminal to solve the problems of high cost and inflexible assembly of the current camera module.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

A camera module for a mobile terminal, comprising a first camera, a camera bracket, a first elastic member, and a second elastic member, wherein the edge of the first camera includes an overlapping platform, and the camera bracket has a first accommodation space , the first camera is arranged in the first accommodation space, the first elastic member is clamped and fixed between the outer wall of the first camera and the inner wall of the first accommodation space, and the overlapping platform The top end of the camera support is overlapped, and the second elastic member is arranged on the overlapping platform and clamped and fixed between the overlapping platform and the housing of the mobile terminal.

A mobile terminal, comprising a housing and a camera module arranged in the housing, the camera module is the above-mentioned camera module, the second elastic member is clamped and fixed on the housing Between the inner wall and the bonding platform.

The technical scheme adopted in the present invention can achieve the following beneficial effects:

In the camera module of the mobile terminal disclosed in the present invention, the first camera is fixed and fitted in the camera bracket through the first elastic member and the second elastic member. During the fixing process of the first camera, the operator first passes the first elastic fix the first camera in the camera bracket, and make the overlapping platform overlap on the camera bracket, and then in the process of assembling the mobile terminal, the casing of the mobile terminal can press the overlapping platform tightly through the second elastic member Fixed on the camera bracket. Glue bonding can be avoided for fixing the first camera, so there is no need to use glue dispensing equipment. This will undoubtedly reduce the assembly cost of the first camera and the camera bracket. At the same time, the fixed assembly between the first camera and the camera support may not be limited to the limitation of the process sequence, and may also be performed in other assembly places, which undoubtedly makes the fixed assembly between the first camera and the camera support more flexible.

The elastic recovery of the first elastic member 300 enables the surfaces on both sides to closely fit with the outer wall of the first camera 100 and the inner wall of the first accommodating space 210 respectively, thereby forming a relatively large frictional force between the mated surfaces , finally realizing the installation of the first camera 100 . The first elastic member 300 mainly serves to fix the first camera 100 in the XY plane.

It should be noted that the XY plane refers to a surface extending along the length direction and the width direction of the mobile terminal.

The bonding platform 110 is lapped on the top of the camera bracket 200 and can be supported by the camera bracket 200 in the imaging direction. The second elastic member 400 is disposed on the docking platform 110 and clamped and fixed between the docking platform 110 and the housing of the mobile terminal. Normally, the second elastic member 400 can only be attached to the bonding platform 110. During the assembly process of the mobile terminal, the housing will press and fix the second elastic member 400 on the bonding platform 110, and finally realize the second The positioning of the elastic member 400 . In this case, the bonding platform 110 is positioned between the casing and the camera bracket 200 , so that the first camera 100 is finally fixed in a direction perpendicular to the XY plane. In this embodiment, the first elastic member 300 and the second elastic member 400 can realize the fixing of the first camera 100 on the camera bracket 200 .
