Lens module carrier device with cleaning member

Abstract

Provided is a lens module carrier device for carrying a plurality of lens modules. The lens module carrier device includes a lens tray and a cleaning member. The lens tray includes a supporting surface. The supporting surface defines a number of receiving holes for receiving the plurality of lens modules. The cleaning member is received in one of the receiving holes for cleaning a glue needle.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A lens module carrier device for carrying a plurality of lens modules, the lens module carrier device comprising:
 a lens tray comprising a supporting surface defines a plurality of receiving holes for receiving the plurality of lens modules; and   a cleaning member received in one of the receiving holes for cleaning a glue needle.   
     
     
         2 . The lens module carrier device of  claim 1 , wherein the supporting surface is substantially rectangular in shape, the plurality of receiving holes are arranged in a matrix and equidistantly arranged on the supporting surface. 
     
     
         3 . The lens module carrier device of  claim 2 , wherein the plurality of receiving holes are arranged in a 3×3 matrix. 
     
     
         4 . The lens module carrier device of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of receiving holes have an essentially identical depth and have an essentially identical internal diameter. 
     
     
         5 . The lens module carrier device of  claim 1 , wherein the cleaning member is received in the receiving hole that is positioned on a corner of the supporting surface. 
     
     
         6 . The lens module carrier device of  claim 1 , wherein the cleaning member is a sponge absorbed in alcohol. 
     
     
         7 . The lens module carrier device of  claim 1 , wherein the cleaning member is a cotton ball absorbed in alcohol. 
     
     
         8 . The lens module carrier device of  claim 1 , wherein the cleaning member is a dry cotton ball. 
     
     
         9 . The lens module carrier device of  claim 1 , wherein the lens tray comprises a ring-shaped flange perpendicularly extending upward from the supporting surface, and the ring-shaped flange covers and aligns with the receiving hole receiving the cleaning member. 
     
     
         10 . The lens module carrier device of  claim 9 , wherein an internal diameter of the ring-shaped flange is substantially equal to the internal diameter of the receiving hole receiving the cleaning member. 
     
     
         11 . The lens module carrier device of  claim 9 , wherein the ring-shaped flange is integrally formed with the lens tray. 
     
     
         12 . The lens module carrier device of  claim 9 , wherein the ring-shaped flange and the lens tray are separately formed, and the ring-shaped flange is attached to the supporting surface.
