Description

Technical Field

[0002] With the development of society and the advancement of science and technology, devices have changed people's lives step by step, from only making and receiving calls to Nokia feature phones, and then to today's smart phones. There are all kinds of smart devices on the market, which are very powerful and increasingly mature. Until the advent of the first year of full-screen devices, in the increasingly competitive device market, more and more device manufacturers began to cater to the needs of consumers and the market and equip their products with full screens. The development of full-screen devices is to maximize the screen-to-body ratio on the front, and the reason why 100% "true full screen" is difficult to achieve is because a series of components have nowhere to be placed. Among them, based on the habit of young users to take selfies, the front camera is indispensable.

[0003] In order to achieve a high-tech full screen, the current solutions can be divided into: pop-up lens and rotating lens. The pop-up lens has the front camera built into the top of the body, and the built-in software program automatically controls the lifting and lowering. It rises when in use to take pictures, and lowers and resets when not in use. The hidden lifting design does take into account practicality and the beauty of the front integration, and brings a higher screen-to-body ratio, making the whole machine look more comfortable. However, its mass production is difficult, and there are gaps inside the phone, which can easily cause dust clogging over time, making it impossible to pop out the lens smoothly.

[0004] The rotating lens can rotate the rear camera upward to the front to become the front camera, but the rear camera is stored in the back cover and needs to be fixed with a snap device, which cannot achieve structural integration, and the structure is not simple and beautiful.

Figure 1b This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the flip cover assembly in the first embodiment of the present invention when it is flipped to the back of the smart terminal. Figure 1a to Figure 1bThe embodiment of the present invention provides a flip camera device, which is connected to a smart terminal, and includes a flip assembly 20 and a second magnet 31. The flip assembly 20 includes a camera 21 and a first magnet 22. When the camera 21 of the flip assembly 20 is flipped to the back of the smart terminal, the first magnet 22 and the second magnet 31 attract each other; when the first magnet 22 and the second magnet 31 are separated, the camera 21 of the flip assembly 20 is flipped to the front of the smart terminal. In this embodiment, the first magnet 22 and the second magnet 31 can be magnets or magnetic materials, and the magnetic material is, for example, ferromagnetic material.

[0046] Figure 1c for Figure 1a The schematic diagram of the transmission assembly in FIG. Figure 1d for Figure 1a Please refer to the structural diagram of the sliding component in Figure 1a to Figure 1d The flip-top camera device also includes a sliding assembly 30 and a transmission assembly 40 for driving the sliding assembly 30. The sliding assembly 30 includes a second magnet 31, a slider 32 and a fixed block 33. The transmission assembly 40 includes a front-view switching key 41, a push rod 42, a guide mechanism 43 and a first elastic member 35a. The bottom surface of the front-view switching key 41 contacts one end surface of the push rod 42, the bottom surface of the push rod 42 contacts the concave surface on the slider 32, and the surfaces of the front-view switching key 41 in contact with the push rod 42 are both inclined surfaces, and the surfaces of the bottom surface of the push rod 42 in contact with the slider 32 are also inclined surfaces. In addition, the first elastic member 35a is sleeved on the push rod 42, and the fixed block 33 and the guide mechanism 43 are both fixed and immovable structures.

At this time, the rear-view camera mode can be used to take pictures by pressing a mechanical camera button or touching the camera key on the display interface of the smart terminal. When it is necessary to take pictures in the front-view camera mode, the front-view camera conversion key 41 is moved in the positive direction of the first direction (the positive direction of the Y axis), thereby pushing the push rod 42 to move in a direction perpendicular to the first direction (the negative direction of the X axis), thereby moving the slider 32 in the positive direction of the first direction (the positive direction of the Y axis). When the slider 32 moves to the unlocking position in the positive direction of the first direction (the positive direction of the Y axis), the second magnet 31 provided on the slider 32 is separated from the first magnet 22 of the flip cover assembly 20, and the flip cover assembly 20 is flipped to the end of the smart terminal driven by the rotating shaft 50, thereby realizing the front-view camera mode.

[0050] In other embodiments, the forward-view switch key 41 can also be integrally provided with the push rod 42, that is, the forward-view switch key 41 can be integrally formed with the push rod 42 to form an integrated transmission assembly 40, and the transmission assembly 40 can be moved along the second direction by pressing or toggling the transmission assembly 40 so as to move along the first direction, so that the sliding assembly 30 moves along the first direction to the unlocked position.

Figure 2a to Figure 2c In this embodiment, the flip-type camera device also includes a sliding assembly 30, which includes a slider 32. A receiving groove 11 is provided on the back of the shell 10. When the slider 32 is pushed to move in the positive direction of the first direction to the unlocking position, the first magnet 22 is separated from the second magnet 31, and the camera 21 of the flip assembly 20 is flipped to the front of the smart terminal; when the flip assembly 20 is flipped into the receiving groove 11, the first magnet 22 and the second magnet 31 attract each other.

[0053] Please combine Figure 2a to Figure 2c The sliding assembly 30 further includes a fixing column 34 and a third elastic member 35c, and the third elastic member 35c is used to make the slider 30 move relative to the housing 10. The fixing column 34 is fixed to the back of the housing 10, and the third elastic member 35c is sleeved on the fixing column 34, and the third elastic member 35c acts between the fixing column 34 and the slider 32.
