Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The invention relates to a periscope camera module, and in particular to a circuit board, a circuit board jointed panel, a periscope camera module, and application thereof.

BACKGROUND TECHNIQUE

The periscope camera module turns the light through a light steering mechanism, so as to reduce the height of the entire camera module, and at the same time, the entire periscope camera module can be designed with a larger effective focal length, thereby satisfying consumers' requirements for higher zoom magnification.

However, with the current pursuit of thinner and lighter electronic equipment, the installation space that can be provided for the periscope camera modules in the electronic equipment is very limited. Especially for periscope camera modules compared to ordinary camera modules, the height of the periscope camera module is generally larger than that of the ordinary camera module, so that it protrudes more obviously from the surface of the electronic device when it is installed on the electronic device. Therefore, how to reduce the size of the periscope camera module while ensuring the quality of its work is an issue that requires continuous attention.

The size of a circuit board of the periscope camera module has a greater influence on the overall size of the periscope camera module, especially the height, so that the entire periscope camera module occupies too much space in the electronic device. The structure and installation method of the circuit board itself also limit the reduction of its size.

Particularly, referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the circuit board 10P of the current periscope camera module 1000P is a type of T-shaped mechanism, which mainly includes a first bending portion 11P and a second bending portion 12P, a third bending portion 13P, and a connection portion 14P, wherein the first bending portion 11P is used for mounting the photosensitive chip 40P, the second bending portion 12P is used for connecting a motor, and the third bending portion 13P is used for connecting an electronic device, and the connection portion 14P is simultaneously connected to the first bending portion 11P, the second bending portion 12P, and the third bending portion 13P. The first bending portion 11P, the second bending portion 12P, and the third bending portion 13P may all be bent relative to the connection portion 14P, and both of the first bending portion 11P and the connection portion 14P are respectively composed of three parts: a rigid part, a flexible part, and another rigid part; wherein the flexible part is located between the two rigid parts, and the connection portion 14P is respectively connected to the first bending portion 11P, the second bending portion 12P, and the third bending portion 13P by another flexible part. Since the entire circuit board 10P is manufactured by a lamination process, it is necessary to evenly arrange the rigid parts on the two opposite sides of the flexible part in consideration of uniform stress.

When the circuit board 10P is bent for assembly, the photosensitive chip 40P located at the first bending portion 11P is mounted at a corresponding position, so other parts of the circuit board 10P need to be bent correspondingly along the flexible part between the connection portion 14P and the first bending portion 11P, and then the second bending portion 12P is bent along the flexible part between the connection portion 14P and the second bending portion 12P. Finally, in order to reduce the size of the circuit board 10P in the height direction, it is necessary to bend the flexible part between the connection portion 14P and the third bending portion 13P, so as to bend the third bending portion 13P. During each bending process, on one hand, it is necessary to avoid the rigid part, and on the other hand, in consideration of avoiding the tearing of the entire structure, a larger part of the bent flexible part is still exposed, and this is not advantageous for the reduction of size of the entire periscope camera module 1000P.

Preferably, the included angle is a right angle to facilitate the inversion of the second part of flexible circuit board layer 10A″ relative to the first part of flexible circuit board layer 10A′, and the inversion of the third part of flexible circuit board layer 10A″′ relative to the first part of flexible circuit board layer 10A′.

It can be understood that, in other embodiments of the present invention, the rigid circuit board layer 10B includes the second part of rigid circuit board layer 10B″ and the first part of rigid circuit board layer 10B′. The rigid circuit board layer 10B can provide a flat mounting surface to facilitate subsequent installation. For example, when a photosensitive chip 40 is mounted on the chip connection portion 11, the second part of rigid circuit board layer 10B″ of the chip connection portion 11 may facilitate the photosensitive chip 40 to be mounted flat on the chip connection portion 11.

For example, the flexible circuit board layer 10A may be provided first, and then a metal circuit is formed by copper plating or etching process, and an insulating layer is formed on this basis to form the rigid circuit board layer 10B, a multilayer circuit board 10 may be obtained by repeating this process, and the rigid circuit board layer 10 is formed only on one side of the flexible circuit board 10. Of course, the above steps are only examples for illustration, and do not limit the present invention.

Further, in this embodiment, the circuit board 10 has an L-shaped structure. That is to say, the flexible circuit board layer 10A extends toward the position of the bending portion 12 from the position of the connecting strip connection portion 14, then extends along to the chip connection portion 11, and then turns and extends toward the position of the periscope lenses assembly 20.

An included angle between an extending direction of a part of the flexible circuit board layer 10A extending between the lenses assembly connection portion 13 and the chip connection portion 11 and an extending direction of a part of the flexible circuit board layer 10A extending between the connecting strap connection portion 14 and the chip connection portion 11 is 90 degrees. Compared with the T-shaped circuit board 10P shown in FIG. 1, the size of the circuit board 10 provided in this embodiment can be designed to be smaller, and the chip connection portion 11 may be mounted with the photosensitive chip 40 and is also directly connected to the lenses assembly connection portion 13 and the connecting strap connection portion 14, thereby improving the effective availability of the entire circuit board 10. More particularly, compared to the T-shaped circuit board 10P shown in FIG. 1, the circuit board 10 provided in this embodiment does not need an avoidance in the Z direction, i.e., in the height direction, so that one time of bending may be omitted and the size of the entire circuit board 10 may be designed to be smaller.

Further, when the circuit board 10 is bent for assembly, taking the bending between the connecting strap connection portion 14 and the chip connection portion 11 as an example, when the connecting strap connection portion 14 is bent to the chip connection portion 11, especially when the connecting strap connection portion 14 is bent toward a rear side of the chip connection portion 11, a part of the flexible circuit board layer 10A located between the connecting strap connection portion 14 and the chip connection portion 11 may not protrude from the chip connection portion 11.

In other words, the light is turned by the periscope lenses assembly 20 and is received by the photosensitive chip 40 through the light window.

The periscope lenses assembly 20 includes a light turning mechanism 21 and a lenses mechanism 22, wherein the light turning mechanism 21 has a light entrance, after the light enters through the light entrance, it is turned about 90 degrees at the light turning mechanism 21, and then passes through the lenses mechanism 22 to reach the photosensitive chip 40 to be received.

The light turning mechanism 21 may further include a light turning member and a first motor, wherein the light turning member is drivably connected to the first motor. The lenses mechanism 22 may further include a lenses and a second motor, wherein the lenses is drivably connected to the second motor.

When the circuit board 10 is mounted on the lenses holder 30 of the photosensitive assembly of the periscope camera module 1000, the arrangement of more components in the height direction can be achieved by bending the circuit board 10, and in such case the height of the entire periscope camera module 1000 is not increased. It can be understood that the height direction at this time refers to the thickness direction of the electronic device when the periscope camera module 1000 is mounted on the electronic device; and this direction is the height direction of the electronic device when the electronic device is placed horizontally on the desktop.

The connecting strap connection portion 14 is connected to the chip connection portion 11 in an invertible manner, when the connecting strap connection portion 14 is inverted relative to the chip connection portion 11 and is inverted toward the rear side of the chip connection portion 11, in order to reduce the size of the circuit board 10 in the height direction, so as to reduce the size of the periscope camera module 1000 in the height direction, a part of the flexible circuit board layer 10A located between the connecting strip connection portion 14 and the chip connection portion 11 is bent at the rear side of the chip connection portion 11, or even bent multiple times, to reduce the size of the circuit board 10 in the height direction.

More particularly, when the connecting tape connection portion 14 is inverted relative to the chip connection portion 11, the bending portion 12 is inverted at the rear side of the chip connection portion 11. The arrangement of the first rigid circuit board layer 10B of the bending portion 12 facilitates the positioning of the circuit board 10 after being bent.

The bending portion 12 includes the second part of rigid circuit board layer 10B″ and the second part of flexible circuit board layer 10A″ of the flexible circuit board layer 10A overlapping the second part of rigid circuit board layer 10B″, the chip connection portion 11 includes the first part of rigid circuit board layer 10B′ and the first part of flexible circuit board layer 10A′ of the flexible circuit board layer 10A overlapping the first part of rigid circuit board layer 10B′.

In other words, the bent part of the flexible circuit board layer 10A located between the first part of rigid circuit board layer 10B′ and the second part of rigid circuit board layer 10B″ does not protrude from the first part of rigid circuit board layer 10B′ or the second part of rigid circuit board layer 10B″, so as to facilitate to reduce the overall size of the circuit board 10. In other words, when the circuit board 1000 is bent, the lowest point of the flexible circuit board layer 10A in the height direction can be higher than the lowest point of the rigid circuit board layer 10B in the height direction, so that the flexible circuit board layer 10A does not contribute to the size of the circuit board 10 in the height direction.

More particularly, for the bending portion 12 and the chip connection portion 11, when the bending portion 12 is inverted toward the rear side of the chip connection portion 11, a part of the flexible circuit board layer 10A of the bending portion 12 faces a part of the flexible circuit board layer 10A of the chip connection portion 11, so that there is no need to avoid the rigid circuit board layer 10B during the inversion process, thereby the length of a part of the flexible circuit board layer 10A located between the bending portion 12 and the chip connection portion 11 extending outward may be reduced.

Further, a part of the flexible circuit board layer 10A of the chip connection portion 11 overlapping the first part of rigid circuit board layer 10B′ is at least partially and detachably connected to the first part of rigid circuit board layer 10B′, and a part of the flexible circuit board layer 10A of the bending portion 12 overlapping the second part of rigid circuit board layer 10B″ is at least partially and detachably connected to the second part of rigid circuit board layer 10B″. Particularly referring to the enlarged schematic part of the S position in FIG. 8, it shows that at least part of the flexible circuit board layer 10A is detachably connected to the rigid circuit board layer 10B.

Correspondingly, at least part of the flexible circuit board layer 10A of the chip connection portion 11 overlapping the first part of rigid circuit board layer 10B′ is fixedly connected to the first part of rigid circuit board layer 10B′, and at least part of the flexible circuit board layer 10A of the bending portion 12 overlapping the second part of rigid circuit board layer 10B″ is fixedly connected to the second part of rigid circuit board layer 10B″, so that the length of a part of the flexible circuit board layer 10A located between the bending portion 12 and the chip connection portion 11 can be reduced.

Further, the circuit board 10 further includes a reinforcing member 15. In this embodiment, the reinforcing member 15 is arranged on the part of the second part of flexible circuit board layer 10A″ of the flexible circuit board layer 10A of the bending portion 12, so as to prevent the flexible circuit board layer 10A and the second part of rigid circuit board layer 10B″ from being completely separated. The reinforcing member 15 may also be arranged on the first part of flexible circuit board layer 10A′ of the flexible circuit board layer 10A of the chip connection portion 11, so as to prevent the flexible circuit board layer 10A and the first part of rigid circuit board layer 10B′ from being completely separated. Of course, it is understandable that other ways may be used to reinforce the part of the flexible circuit board layer 10A of the bending portion 12 and the second part of rigid circuit board layer 10B″, and the part of the flexible circuit board layer 10A of the chip connection portion 11 and the first part of rigid circuit board layer 10B′, the above examples do not limit the present invention.

It is understandable that the part of the flexible circuit board layer 10A located between the bending portion 12 and the chip connection portion 11 has a predetermined length, so that the bending portion 12 can be inverted relative to the chip connection portion 11.

It can be understood that, the rear side of the chip connection portion 11 refers to a side opposite to the side of the chip connection portion 11 mounted with the photosensitive chip 40.

The second part of flexible circuit board layer 10A″ of the bending portion 12 located at the first bending end is detachably connected to the corresponding part of the second part of rigid circuit board layer 10B″. When this position needs to face greater stress due to bending, the second part of flexible circuit board layer 10A″ and the second part of rigid circuit board layer 10B″ of the bending portion 12 are partially separated to reduce the stress at this location and avoid tearing.

The first part of flexible circuit board layer 10A′ of the chip connection portion 11 located at the second connecting end is detachably connected to the corresponding part of the first part of rigid circuit board layer 10B′. When this position needs to face greater stress due to bending, the second part of rigid circuit board layer 10B′ and the second part of flexible circuit board 10A″ of the chip connection portion 11 are partially separated to reduce the stress at this position and avoid tearing.

More particularly, the bending portion 12 includes a first part of bending portion 12A and a second part of bending portion 12B, wherein the first part of bending portion 12A extends to the second part of bending portion 12B, and the first part of bending portion 12A is close to the chip connection portion 11 relative to the second part of bending portion 12.

The chip connection portion 11 includes a first part of chip connection portion 11A and a second part of chip connection portion 11B, wherein the first part of chip connection portion 11A extends to the second part of chip connection portion 11B, and the second part of chip connection portion 11B is close to the bending portion 12 relative to the first part of chip connection portion 11A.

Furthermore, when the bending portion 12 is inverted relative to the chip connection portion 11, a part of the flexible circuit board layer 10A of the adjacent the second part of chip connection portion 11B and the first part of bending portion 12A can be separated from the corresponding part of the rigid circuit board layer 10B.

It is worth mentioning that, the length of the flexible circuit board layer 10A located between the bending portion 12 and the chip connection portion 11 may be designed to be shorter, and preferably does not protrude from the bending portion 12 and the chip connection portion 11 in the Z direction, so as to facilitate to reduce the height size of the circuit board 10.

Optionally, after the bending portion 12 is inverted, the bending portion 12 and the chip connection portion 11 are arranged oppositely. Preferably, the size of the bending portion 12 is set to be smaller than the size of the chip connection portion 11 to facilitate to reduce the size of the circuit board 10, especially the size in the height direction. Optionally, after being inverted, the bending portion 12 is relatively parallel to the chip connection portion 11.

When the periscope camera module 1000 is installed in the electronic device, the circuit board 10 is located in a direction perpendicular to the electronic device, the flexible circuit board layer 10A between the bending portion 12 and the chip connection portion 11 is located in the vertical direction, so that shortening the outwardly extending part of the flexible circuit board layer 10A can reduce the size of the circuit board 10 in the height direction.

In other words, the size of the circuit board 10 provided in this embodiment is relatively small, not only the size in area but also the size in thickness, as well as the size in height of the circuit board 10 during usage can also be reduced.

Further, the circuit board 10 can be manufactured by a circuit board jointed panel, and a plurality of the circuit boards 10 can be manufactured at a time.

The accuracy of the second bending in this process is based on the premise of the first bending. Therefore, in order to ensure the alignment accuracy between the second bending and the motor solder joints, the first bending requires additional molding die to limit the position and ensure accuracy; while in this example, the circuit board 10 is positioned on the lenses holder 30, and the lenses assembly connection portion 13 only needs to be inverted relative to the chip connection portion 11, thus no additional molding die is needed to locate the chip connection portion 11.

Then, the lenses assembly connection portion 13 is assembled to the periscope lenses assembly 20 of the periscope camera module 1000. Particularly, the lenses assembly connection portion 13 is inverted toward the front side of the flexible circuit board layer 10A, and then the periscope lenses assembly 20 is fixed to a corresponding position of the periscope lenses assembly 20.

Particularly, the lenses assembly connection portion 13 is inverted toward the front side of the flexible circuit board layer 10A, and then the periscope lenses assembly 20 is fixed to a corresponding position of the periscope lenses assembly 20.

The circuit board 10 provided in this embodiment only needs to be inverted three times to complete the assembly, and at the same time the height size of the entire circuit board 10 is reduced, so as to facilitate to reduce the height size of the entire periscope camera module 1000.

Referring to FIG. 7, it shows a schematic diagram of another assembling process of the circuit board 10 according to another preferred embodiment of the present invention, and reference may also be made to FIG. 8.

The circuit board 10 may be mounted with the connecting strap 50, wherein the connecting strap 50 is used to connect another device, such as the electronic device, or another camera module installed in the electronic device.

The circuit board 10 may be mounted with the photosensitive chip 40.
