Camera module assembly
View Patent ↗A camera module assembly includes: a camera module including a front surface and a rear surface, extending from the front surface to the rear surface, and including a lens on the front surface; a support bracket coupled to the camera module and including a front support portion adjacent to the front surface of the camera module and a rear support portion adjacent to the rear surface of the camera module; a light projecting portion arranged parallel to the camera module and including a light source configured to emit an infrared ray, and a main bracket having a cavity portion that accommodates the camera module and including a first bracket portion coupled to the support bracket and a second bracket portion coupled to the light projecting portion.
1. A camera module assembly comprising:
a camera module comprising a front surface and a rear surface, extending from the front surface to the rear surface, and comprising a lens on the front surface;
a support bracket coupled to the camera module and comprising a front support portion adjacent to the front surface of the camera module and a rear support portion adjacent to the rear surface of the camera module;
a light projecting portion arranged parallel to the camera module and comprising a light source configured to emit a light ray; and
a main bracket having a cavity portion that accommodates the camera module and comprising a first bracket portion coupled to the support bracket and a second bracket portion coupled to the light projecting portion,
wherein the rear support portion has at least two support holes located spaced apart from one another in a widthwise direction of the support bracket, and
wherein the first bracket portion comprises at least two protrusions extending in a direction toward the rear surface of the camera module and inserted in the support holes.
2. The camera module assembly of claim 1 , wherein the front support portion comprises at least two support pins located spaced apart from one another in a widthwise direction of the support bracket.
3. The camera module assembly of claim 2 , wherein each of the support pins has a bent sectional shape.
4. The camera module assembly of claim 2 , wherein the first bracket portion has at least two insertion holes in which the support pins are inserted.
5. The camera module assembly of claim 1 , wherein the support bracket further comprises a middle support portion located between the front support portion and the rear support portion.
6. The camera module assembly of claim 5 , wherein the rear support portion has a pair of support holes located spaced apart from each other in a widthwise direction of the support bracket, and the middle support portion has a middle through-hole located corresponding to a position between the pair of support holes.
7. The camera module assembly of claim 6 , wherein the first bracket portion has a middle screw hole to which a screw penetrating through the middle through-hole is coupled.
8. The camera module assembly of claim 7 ,
wherein the first bracket portion comprises a pair of protrusions extending in a direction toward the rear surface of the camera module and inserted in the pair of support holes, and
wherein the middle screw hole is located corresponding to a position between the pair of protrusions.
9. The camera module assembly of claim 1 , wherein the second bracket portion has an opening portion in which the light projecting portion is inserted.
10. The camera module assembly of claim 9 , wherein the second bracket portion has a shape of a frame encompassing the opening portion.
11. The camera module assembly of claim 1 , wherein the light projecting portion has a first through-hole, a second through-hole, and a third through-hole, and the third through-hole is located corresponding to a position between the first through-hole and the second through-hole.
12. The camera module assembly of claim 11 , wherein the first through-hole and the second through-hole are located spaced apart from each other in a widthwise direction of the light projecting portion, and a distance between the third through-hole and the camera module is longer than a distance between the camera module and each of the first through-hole and the second through-hole.
13. The camera module assembly of claim 11 , wherein the second bracket portion has a first screw hole, a second screw hole, and a third screw hole, a screw penetrating through the first through-hole is coupled to the first screw hole, a screw penetrating through the second through-hole is coupled to the second screw hole, and a screw penetrating through the third through-hole is coupled to the third screw hole.
14. The camera module assembly of claim 1 , wherein an optical axis of the camera module is parallel to an optical axis of the light projecting portion.
15. The camera module assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a tilt driving portion configured to transfer a rotation force to the main bracket to rotate the main bracket in upper and lower directions,
wherein the main bracket comprises a connection portion that is arranged at one side of the main bracket and connected to the tilt driving portion.
