Connecting device for connecting a lens housing to an image sensor substrate for a camera

A connecting device for connecting a lens housing which accommodates at least one lens to an image sensor substrate which accommodates an image sensor for a camera, the connecting device comprising:

• a first lens holder element formed as coupled or coupleable axially with the lens housing;
• and
• a second lens holder element formed as coupled or coupleable to the image sensor substrate, the first lens holder element and the second lens holder element being formed as coupled or coupleable axially with one another.

The connecting device as recited in claim 14, wherein:

• (i) the second lens holder element includes a coupling surface for coupling with a camera housing, and/or (ii) the first lens holder element includes a further coupling surface for coupling with the camera housing.

A method for installing a connecting device for connecting a lens housing which accommodates at least one lens with an image sensor substrate which accommodates an image sensor for a camera, the method comprising the following steps:

• providing a first lens holder element which is formed to be axially coupleable with the lens housing, and a second lens holder element which is formed to be axially coupleable with the image sensor substrate, the first lens holder element and the second lens holder element being formed to be axially coupleable with one another;
• and
• coupling the first lens holder element with the lens housing and the second lens holder element, and coupling the second lens holder element with the image sensor substrate to install the connecting device.

A device configured to install a connecting device for connecting a lens housing which accommodates at least one lens with an image sensor substrate which accommodates an image sensor for a camera, the device configured to:

• provide a first lens holder element which is formed to be axially coupleable with the lens housing, and a second lens holder element which is formed to be axially coupleable with the image sensor substrate, the first lens holder element and the second lens holder element being formed to be axially coupleable with one another;
• and
• couple the first lens holder element with the lens housing and the second lens holder element, and couple the second lens holder element with the image sensor substrate to install the connecting device.

A non-transitory machine-readable memory medium on which is stored a computer program for installing a connecting device for connecting a lens housing which accommodates at least one lens with an image sensor substrate which accommodates an image sensor for a camera, the computer program, when executed by a computer, causing the computer to perform or activate the following steps:

• providing a first lens holder element which is formed to be axially coupleable with the lens housing, and a second lens holder element which is formed to be axially coupleable with the image sensor substrate, the first lens holder element and the second lens holder element being formed to be axially coupleable with one another;
• and
• coupling the first lens holder element with the lens housing and the second lens holder element, and coupling the second lens holder element with the image sensor substrate to install the connecting device.
