[0040] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0041] Please refer to the drawings Figs. 1-3 The electronic device provided by the embodiment of the present application is shown in the structure diagram when the functional component is located in the accommodation space.
[0042] It should be noted that the first display direction and the collection direction meet the same condition, which means that the first display direction and the collection direction are the same or approximately the same, so that the first display assembly can display in the first display direction at the same time that the collection assembly 31 can collect in the collection direction, that is, the first display assembly and the collection assembly 31 can meet the working condition at the same time.
[0043] The first display direction and the collection direction meet the opposite condition, which means that the first display direction and the collection direction are opposite or approximately opposite, the first display direction of the first display assembly is toward the collection direction of the collection assembly 31, and the first display assembly and the collection assembly 31 are in a non-working state.
[0044] The electronic device has at least a first posture and a second posture, and the collection direction of the collection assembly 31 can satisfy the same condition as the first display direction or satisfy the opposite condition as the first display direction, so that various use modes are provided and the diversified requirements of the device are met.
[0045] In addition, the functional component 3 is connected to the second body 2, and the functional component 3 does not occupy the display area of the first display assembly on the first body 1, so that the functional component 3 does not affect the display area, thereby improving the full-screen effect of the electronic device.
[0046] The electronic device is a notebook computer, a flip phone or other devices with the same structure.
[0047] Specifically, the first body 1 and the second body 2 are both plate-shaped, and are rotationally connected, so that when the first body 1 rotates relative to the second body 2, the included angle formed by the first body 1 and the second body 2 changes, the display direction of the first display assembly of the first body 1 changes, and the first body 1 and the second body 2 change from the first relative position to the second relative position. Of course, the first body 1 and the second body 2 can also have other shapes, such as a bracket shape.
[0048] Preferably, in the first posture, the first body 1 and the second body 2 are in the first relative position, and the functional component 3 and the second body 2 are in the third relative position; in the second posture, the first body 1 and the second body 2 are in the second relative position, and the functional component 3 and the second body 2 are in the fourth relative position; wherein the first relative position and the second relative position are different, and the third relative position and the fourth relative position are different. During the switching between the first posture and the second posture of the electronic device, the position of the first body 1 relative to the second body 2 changes, and the position of the functional component 3 relative to the second body 2 also changes. It can be understood that the change in the position of the first body 1 relative to the second body 2 and the change in the position of the functional component 3 relative to the second body 2 can be independent position changes, i.e., the first body 1 and the functional component 3 change positions independently; or it can be a linked position change, i.e., the first body 1 and the functional component 3 change positions simultaneously. Specifically, in the first posture, the first body 1 is opened relative to the second body 2, the collection assembly 31 is erected relative to the second body 2, and the collection and display are in the same direction; in the second posture, the first body 1 is closed relative to the second body 2, the collection assembly 31 is flat relative to the second body 2, and the collection and display are in opposite directions, so as to keep the consistency of the lifting and folding of the first body 1 and the collection assembly 31, and improve the operation experience.
[0049] It can be understood that in the first and second postures, the relative positions of the functional component 3 and the second body 2 can also be the same, that is, the functional component 3 is always in the same collection direction, specifically, the collection assembly 31 is connected to the second body 2 at a certain inclination angle.
[0050] The first body 1 is a screen, the second body 2 is a base, and the collection assembly 31 is an optical collection device or a sound collection device connected to the base. The optical collection device includes a visible light collection device and a non-visible light collection device. The visible light collection device is a camera, and the non-visible light collection device is various collection devices for distance detection, such as an infrared collection device or a laser collection device. The first posture refers to a working posture, and the collection of the camera and the display of the screen can be in the same direction; the second posture refers to a storage posture, and the collection of the camera and the display are in reverse.
[0051] For a notebook computer, in the first posture, the screen is opened relative to the base, the camera is erected relative to the base, and the collection and display can be in the same direction; in the second posture, the screen is closed relative to the base, the camera is flat relative to the base, and the collection and display are in reverse, thereby maintaining the movement consistency of the first body 1 and the functional component 3 and improving the operation experience. The camera can also be connected to the base at a certain inclination angle.
[0052] In the embodiment, the first body 1 and the second body 2 are connected by the first rotating device 4; the functional component 3 is connected to the second body 2 by the second rotating device and can rotate relative to the second body 2; wherein the rotating directions of the first body 1 relative to the second body 2 and the functional component 3 relative to the second body 2 can satisfy the opposite condition (opposite or approximately opposite).
[0053] When switching from the second posture to the first posture, the first body 1 is opened, and the first body 1 is rotated backward relative to the second body 2 around the first rotating device 4; the functional component 3 is rotated forward relative to the second body 2 around the second rotating device, and the rotating directions of the first body 1 and the functional component 3 are opposite, thereby opening the first body 1 backward and erecting the functional component 3 forward, avoiding the interference between the first body 1 and the functional component 3; when switching from the first posture to the second posture, the first body 1 is stored, and the first body 1 is rotated forward relative to the second body 2 around the first rotating device 4 and is closed with the second body 2; the functional component 3 is rotated backward relative to the second body 2 around the second rotating device and is flat on the second body 2, and the rotating directions of the first body 1 and the functional component 3 are opposite, so that the first body 1 and the functional component 3 are both in the storage state. It should be noted that the functional component 3 has front and back ends when it is flat, and the front end is hinged to the second body 2, and the forward erection and backward flatness of the functional component 3 are realized by rotating around the front end.
[0054] It can be understood that the rotation of the first body 1 and the rotation of the functional component 3 can be performed separately or simultaneously. The rotation direction of the first body 1 relative to the second body 2 and the rotation direction of the functional component 3 relative to the second body 2 can also satisfy the same condition, that is, the first body 1 and the functional component 3 are rotated backward simultaneously or rotated forward simultaneously when switching between the two postures, and the acquisition assembly itself is flipped to achieve the corresponding condition with the first display direction.
[0055] In a further technical solution, the second rotating device includes a first rotating assembly corresponding to the first rotating reference and a second rotating assembly corresponding to the second rotating reference, wherein the first rotating reference and the second rotating reference satisfy the perpendicular condition. Specifically, the first rotating reference is parallel to the rotating reference of the first rotating device 4, and the second rotating reference is perpendicular to the rotating reference of the first rotating device 4.
[0056] The functional component 3 can realize switching between the third relative position and the fourth relative position relative to the second body 2 by rotating around the first rotating reference, that is, the functional component 3 can be stood up and laid down; when the functional component 3 and the second body 2 are in the third relative position, the functional component 3 can also realize adjustment of the acquisition direction by rotating around the second rotating reference, that is, in the case that the functional component 3 is stood up, the functional component 3 can be rotated left and right to expand the acquisition range. Alternatively, the second rotating device can only include the first rotating reference.
[0057] In a specific embodiment of the present application, the second body 2 has a first input assembly 21, the first input assembly 21 is not located between the functional component 3 and the first body 1, and the functional component 3 is not located between the first input assembly 21 and the first body 1. As shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 3 As shown in the drawings, the first input assembly 21 and the functional component 3 are arranged in a row along the rotation axis of the first body 1 relative to the first body 1, that is, when the user faces the first display direction, the first input assembly 21 and the functional component 3 are arranged in the left-right direction, and the acquisition direction of the functional component 3 is adjusted by rotating the functional component 3 left and right around the second rotating reference.
[0058] For a notebook computer, the first input assembly 21 specifically refers to a keyboard, and the functional component 3 is arranged on the left side or the right side of the keyboard, thereby reducing the front-to-back space occupied by the second body 2. Of course, the first input assembly 21 can also be located between the functional component 3 and the first body 1, and the functional component 3 can also be located between the first input assembly 21 and the first body 1.
[0059] In a specific embodiment of the present application, the second body 2 is provided with a first fixing member, and the functional component 3 is provided with a second fixing member which is detachably matched with the first fixing member. Specifically, the first fixing member and the second fixing member are respectively a clamping groove and a clamping buckle which can be matched, or can be a threaded connecting member or any other detachable structure.
[0060] Preferably, the first fixing member is located at a left side or a right side of the first input assembly 21 on the second body 2, so as to realize mounting of the functional component 3 at the left side or the right side of the first input assembly 21.
[0061] When the electronic device provided by the above embodiment is in the first posture, the collecting assembly 31 is at a first distance from the second body 2; when the electronic device is in the second posture, the collecting assembly 31 is at a second distance from the second body 2, and the first distance is greater than the second distance. When the electronic device is switched from the second posture to the first posture, the position of the collecting assembly 31 relative to the second body 2 is raised, which means that there is a gap between the rotating reference of the functional component 3 and the collecting assembly 31, and the collecting assembly 31 is closer to the eye level, that is, the collecting assembly 31 is lower than the top of the screen and higher than the bottom of the screen, has the eye level of the user, and has a better collecting effect. Alternatively, when the electronic device is in the first posture and the second posture, the distance between the collecting assembly 31 and the second body 2 can also be the same, for example, the functional component 3 swings forward and backward around the rotating shaft at the middle part, or rotates 180 degrees around the top surface of the second body 2.
[0062] In order to further optimize the above technical solution, the functional component 3 further comprises a functional assembly 32, which has a functional direction, and the functional direction and the collecting direction satisfy a same direction condition; wherein the functional assembly 32 comprises at least one of the following: a second display assembly for outputting an image; a second input assembly, and the second input assembly comprises a proximity or contact sensing assembly. The functional component 3 of the present application can realize the collecting function through the collecting assembly 31, and also has the functional assembly 32 to realize the output image function or the touchpad function or the combined touch screen function, so that the functional assembly 32 has at least double functions.
[0063] When the functional assembly 32 comprises the second display assembly, the electronic device comprises double displays of the first display assembly and the second display assembly, can work or play by using the first display assembly, and chat by using the second display assembly, so that the chat work or the chat game can be realized without conflict. When the functional assembly 32 comprises the proximity or contact sensing assembly, when the collecting assembly 31 is not used, the functional component 3 and the second body 2 are in a fourth relative position, and data input or fingerprint input can be realized by using the proximity or contact sensing assembly. It can be understood that the above functional component 3 can also only comprise the collecting assembly 31.
[0064] The application can make the functional component lie down and be retracted when the first display assembly is opened, and the second input assembly is used for touch / output; or the functional component can be erected, and the second display assembly is used for collection and / or display.
[0065] The application can set the collection assembly at one end of the touchpad / small touch screen, set the rotating structure to enable the touchpad / small touch screen to rotate, maintain the existing use experience, and also give new close-to-eye collection functions.
[0066] In the further technical solution, when the electronic device is in the first posture, the distance between the functional assembly 32 and the second body 2 is less than the distance between the collection assembly 31 and the second body 2. At this time, the collection assembly 31 is located above the functional assembly 32, which avoids affecting the work of the collection assembly 31 when the functional assembly 32 is used, and further improves the use experience. Of course, when the electronic device is in the first posture, the distance between the functional assembly 32 and the second body 2 can also be equal to the distance between the collection assembly 31 and the second body 2, that is, the collection assembly 31 and the functional assembly 32 are arranged on the left and right sides.
[0067] Specifically, the first body 1 and the second body 2 are rotationally connected through the first rotating device 4, and the first rotating device 4 is provided with a linkage; when the first body 1 rotates relative to the second body 2 to realize the switching of the two in the first relative position and the second relative position, the first rotating device 4 drives the linkage to move to drive the functional component 3 to rotate relative to the second body 2, and realize the switching of the two in the third relative position and the fourth relative position.
[0068] When the first body 1 rotates relative to the second body 2, the linkage can drive the functional component 3 to rotate relative to the second body 2, thereby realizing the switching of the first posture and the second posture; in this way, when the first body 1 does not rotate, the position of the functional component 3 is also locked, the position reliability of the functional component 3 is improved, and the interference between the first body 1 and the functional component 3 in the raised state of the first body 1 is avoided.
[0069] Preferably, the linkage can drive the functional component 3 to rotate in two directions relative to the second body 2 during the rotation of the first body 1 relative to the second body 2; when the rotation angle of the first body 1 relative to the second body 2 is from 0° to 90° (or other angles to achieve better collection effect), the linkage drives the rotation angle of the functional component 3 relative to the second body 2 from 180° to 90°; at this time, the first body 1 is parallel to the functional component 2, and both are upright; when the first body 1 is rotated backward relative to the second body 2, the linkage drives the functional component 3 to lie backward together, and the lying speed of the functional component 3 is greater than the rotation speed of the first body, so that the functional component 3 is laid flat to the second body 2 without using the collection assembly 31, avoiding affecting the use of the first body 1, and the second input assembly of the functional component 3 can also be used. It can be understood that the application can also be provided with a separate driving member to drive the rotation of the functional component 3 relative to the second body 2, such as a motor, or the functional component 3 can be manually rotated alone.
[0070] As shown in Fig. 1 , the second body 2 has a containing space 22, and the functional component 3 can be located in the containing space 22; in the first posture, part of the functional component 3 is not located in the containing space 22; in the second posture, the functional component 3 is located in the containing space 22. Specifically, the containing space 22 is a containing groove opened on the second body 2, and the containing space 22 can also be surrounded by other structures.
[0071] In the first posture, part of the functional component 3 is not located in the containing space 22, and at this time the collection assembly 31 is lifted from the containing space 22 in the working state, which is convenient for collection; in the second posture, the functional component 3 is located in the containing space 22, and the collection direction (and / or the second display direction) is away from the second body 2, at this time the functional component 3 is flush with the surface of the second body 2, avoiding affecting the storage of the second body 2.
[0072] The electronic device of the application can also have a third posture, as shown in Fig. 3 , the first body 1 and the second body 2 are in the first relative position, but the functional component 3 is located in the containing space 22, at this time the first body 1 is in the open position, the functional component 3 is flush with the surface of the second body 2, which can better match the first input assembly 21 of the second body 2, realizing the function of touch control.
[0073] The structures of the parts in the specification are described in a progressive manner, and the structure of each part mainly explains the difference from the existing structure. The whole and part structures of the electronic device can be obtained by combining the structures of the above-mentioned parts.
[0074] The foregoing description of the disclosed embodiments enables a person skilled in the art to make or use the application. Modifications of these embodiments will occur to persons of skill in the art, and that the generic principles defined herein can be applied to other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the application. Therefore, the present application is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown herein but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
