Description

Camera Module Retainer Clip Spread Apparatus The present invention relates to a camera module retainer clip spreader. More specifically, the invention relates to a camera module retainer clip spread device configured to prevent damage to the outside of an object while the retainer is installed on the object by causing wing portions formed at both ends of the retainer to spread wider than the size of the object. Currently, portable terminals such as mobile phones and PDAs are being used as multi-functional devices equipped with music, movie, TV, and game functions, in addition to simple telephone functions, thanks to recent technological advancements. Among the factors driving the multifunctionality of the aforementioned portable terminal, the camera module is a representative example. This camera module is changing from the existing 300,000 pixels (VGA level) to a high-resolution centered one of 8 million pixels or more, while simultaneously evolving to implement various additional functions such as autofocus (AF) and optical zoom. Generally, compact camera modules (CCMs) are small and are applied to various IT devices, including camera phones, PDAs, smartphones, and other portable mobile communication devices. Recently, however, the release of devices equipped with compact camera modules is gradually increasing to meet the diverse tastes of consumers. At this time, the camera module is manufactured using an image sensor such as a CCD or CMOS as a main component, and the image of an object is collected through the image sensor and stored as data in the memory within the device, and the stored data is displayed as an image through a display medium such as an LCD or PC monitor within the device. The above-mentioned camera module is configured to be manufactured by mounting a cover-type retainer on the upper part of the lens. As one of the technologies related to this, Korean Registered Patent Publication 10-0838754 discloses a retainer fixing structure for a camera module. The above-described conventional retainer fixing structure of a camera module comprises: a housing having a cylindrical body formed integrally; a printed circuit board having an image sensor mounted in the center and closely coupled to the lower part of the housing; a lens barrel inserted into the cylindrical body of the housing, having at least one lens stacked and coupled inside and having at least two hooks on the upper side; and a retainer mounted on the upper part of the lens barrel, having a hook coupling hole formed at a point corresponding to the hook, wherein the lens barrel and the retainer are integrally coupled by the hook protruding upwardly from the upper part of the lens barrel being closely inserted into the hook coupling hole provided in the retainer. However, the above-mentioned prior art has a problem in that, since the coupling structure between the lens barrel and the retainer is formed such that the hook coupling part of the retainer is coupled to the hook of the lens barrel, the hook coupling part of the retainer may cause damage to the outside of the lens barrel during the process of coupling the retainer to the lens barrel.
