Abstract

An image focus alignment structure includes a base, a lens barrel, a first sealant layer and a second sealant layer. The base has a first installation portion and a second installation portion. The lens barrel is disposed on the base. The first sealant layer is for fixing a partial barrel body of the lens barrel on the first installation portion. The second sealant layer is for fixing another partial barrel body of the lens barrel on the second installation portion.

Claims (15)

1. An image focus alignment structure, comprising:

a base comprising a sleeve having a first installation portion and a second installation portion, wherein the first installation portion and the second installation portion are formed on an upper surface and an inner surface of the sleeve lower than the upper surface, respectively, and an internal diameter of the inner surface is smaller than an internal diameter of the upper surface;

a lens barrel disposed on the base;

a first sealant layer for fixing a partial barrel body of the lens barrel to the first installation portion of the base; and

a second sealant layer for fixing another partial barrel body of the lens barrel to the second installation portion of the base.

2. The image focus alignment structure according to claim 1 , wherein the first sealant layer and the second sealant layer are formed of different materials.

3. The image focus alignment structure according to claim 2 , wherein the first sealant layer is a photo-curing adhesive, and the second sealant layer is a thermo-curing adhesive.

4. The image focus alignment structure according to claim 2 , wherein the first sealant layer is a photo-curing adhesive, and the second sealant layer is a cationic resin.

5. The image focus alignment structure according to claim 1 , wherein the sleeve has an outer annular surface, a recess and a first inner annular surface, the outer annular surface is located at one end of the sleeve, the first inner annular surface is located inside the recess, the first installation portion comprises the outer annular surface, the second installation portion comprises the first inner annular surface, the first sealant layer is disposed on the outer annular surface, and the second sealant layer is disposed on the first inner annular surface.

6. The image focus alignment structure according to claim 5 , wherein the sleeve further has at least one infusing hole penetrating the sleeve to reach the recess.

7. The image focus alignment structure according to claim 5 , wherein the lens barrel has a first flange surrounding the barrel body, the another partial barrel body located under the first flange is received in the recess, and the first flange is fixed on the outer annular surface through the first sealant layer.

8. The image focus alignment structure according to claim 7 , wherein the sleeve has a stepped surface and a second inner annular surface disposed inside the recess, the stepped surface is vertically connected between the first inner annular surface and the second inner annular surface.

9. The image focus alignment structure according to claim 8 , wherein the another partial barrel body located under the first flange further has a second flange received in the recess and fixed at a junction between the first inner annular surface and the stepped surface through the second sealant layer.

10. The image focus alignment structure according to claim 1 , wherein the sleeve has an outer annular surface, a recess, a first inner annular surface, a stepped surface and a second inner annular surface, the outer annular surface is located at one end of the sleeve, the first inner annular surface is located inside the recess, the stepped surface is vertically connected between the first inner annular surface and the second inner annular surface, the first installation portion comprises the first inner annular surface, the second installation portion comprises the stepped surface, the first sealant layer is disposed on the first inner annular surface, and the second sealant layer is disposed on the stepped surface.

11. The image focus alignment structure according to claim 10 , wherein the lens barrel has a first flange surrounding the barrel body, the another partial barrel body located under the first flange is received in the recess, an upper surface of the first flange is fixed on the first inner annular surface through the first sealant layer, and a lower surface of the first flange is fixed on the stepped surface through the second sealant layer.
