Abstract

An imaging device includes a lens module and a printed circuit board. The lens module includes a substrate with a lens unit and an imaging sensor mounted on a same side thereof. The substrate defines a groove therein. The printed circuit board defines a recessed portion accommodating the substrate therein, and includes a locking member engaging in the groove to detachably secure the lens module thereto.

Claims (7)

1. An imaging device comprising:

a lens module comprising a substrate with a lens unit and an imaging sensor mounted on a same side thereof, the substrate defining a groove therein; and

a printed circuit board defining a recessed portion accommodating the substrate therein, and comprising a locking member engaging in the groove to detachably secure the lens module thereto.

2. The imaging device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the groove encircles the substrate and the locking member is formed in the recessed portion.

3. The imaging device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the locking member comprises a plurality of protrusions encircling the recessed portion.

4. The imaging device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the substrate forms a plurality of conductive terminals at an opposite side thereof, and the printed circuit board forms a plurality of elastic conductive members in the recessed portion, the conductive members abut against the conductive terminals respectively to form an electrical interconnection between the substrate and the printed circuit board.

5. The imaging device as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the conductive members are metallic leaf springs.
