Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electronic equipment production, in particular to a camera installation structure and electronic equipment. Background Art

[0002] Currently, laptops generally have built-in cameras, which are usually installed above the display screen. Due to the lightweight development of electronic devices such as laptops, the screen adopts a narrow-frame design, and the lines left for the camera installation structure are relatively strict. In addition, with the popularization of high-pixel solutions such as MIPI (fast, interference-resistant processor interface) cameras, chips need to meet the rigid demand for pixel packaging size. The position on the screen frame for installing the camera needs to have a certain width to meet the hardware stacking design. The existing traditional stacking solution can no longer meet the installation requirements. If installation space is reserved specifically for the installation of the camera, it will be unfavorable for the lightweight development of laptops.

[0003] In the traditional camera design and stacking solution, the camera adopts a standard module structure, and the whole machine needs to adapt to the shape of the camera to avoid and preset the corresponding structural space. For example, a camera with a pixel of 5 million pixels requires a certain installation size, and the conventional narrow screen frame is only about the same size as the camera. It is difficult to preset a 5-megapixel camera on the existing size. When the camera area needs to be made larger in the future, the traditional notebook camera adopts a centered design, which is difficult to meet the installation requirements. The traditional notebook camera structure will relatively occupy a larger structural space, which is not conducive to the lightweight development of laptops.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a camera mounting structure that is compatible with a variety of cameras and suitable for the installation of higher pixel cameras. Utility Model Content
