Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of display technology, and in particular to a mobile terminal. Background Art

[0002] Now with the popularity of full-screen phones, the screen-to-body ratio has been continuously improved, but the front camera is part of the reason that limits the increase in screen-to-body ratio. The current under-screen camera technology cannot be commercialized on a large scale. For example, hole-punch screens, water-drop screens, and bangs screens can improve the screen-to-body ratio to a certain extent, but cannot bring users the ultimate full-screen experience. Summary of the invention

[0003] The invention discloses a mobile terminal, which is used for improving the screen-to-body ratio of a display screen.

[0004] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0005] A mobile terminal comprises: a housing;

[0006] Moving a camera installed in the housing along a first direction, wherein the camera has a fixed state and a moving state;

[0007] The camera comprises: a body and a dustproof component movably mounted on the body along a second direction, the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction, and the dustproof component has a first working state and a second working state relative to the housing;

[0008] When the camera is in a fixed state, the dustproof component is in a first working state, and the dustproof component extends into the housing so that the camera is locked with the housing;

[0009] When the camera is in a moving state, the dustproof assembly is in a second working state, and the dustproof assembly is retracted into the body to unlock the camera and the shell; a first driving mechanism is used to drive the camera to extend or retract the shell;

[0010] The second driving mechanism is used to drive the dustproof component to extend or retract the body.

[0011] The camera of the mobile terminal is driven to extend or retract into the shell along a first direction by the first driving mechanism. Although this telescopic camera method can increase the screen-to-body ratio, since the camera is extended and retracted and has two states, fixed and mobile, this often leads to serious waterproof and dustproof problems at the sliding position. Dust or water can easily fall into the shell from the sliding gap between the camera and the shell, thereby affecting the normal use of other components in the shell. Therefore, in order to solve the dust and waterproof problems, a retractable dustproof component is installed on the camera body, and the second driving structure drives the dustproof component to move in the second direction. The shell has a first working state and a second working state. When the camera is in a fixed state, the dustproof component is in the first working state, that is, the dustproof component extends into the shell and is locked relative to the shell. At the same time, the gap at the sliding position of the camera is blocked. By blocking the gap with the dustproof component, the dust and water entering through the gap when the telescopic camera is used in the mobile terminal is effectively improved, thereby improving the user experience; when the camera is in a mobile state, the dustproof component is in the second working state, that is, the second driving device drives the dustproof component to be retracted into the camera body, so that the camera and the shell are unlocked, so that the camera slides along the first direction.

[0012] Further, the dustproof assembly comprises: a first movable member and a second movable member spaced apart on the body along a first direction;

[0013] When the camera is in a fixed state and extends out of the housing, the first movable member is in a second working state, and the second movable member is in a first working state;

[0014] When the camera is in a fixed state and retracted into the housing, the first movable member is in a first working state, and the second movable member is in a second working state;

[0015] When the camera is in a moving state, both the first movable member and the second movable member are in a second working state.

[0016] Further, the first movable member includes: at least one first movable plate;

[0017] The housing includes an escape area matched with the first movable plate.

[0018] Further, the second movable member includes: at least one second movable plate;

[0019] The housing includes an escape area cooperating with the second movable plate.

[0020] Further, when there are two first movable plates, the two first movable plates are symmetrically arranged relative to the body.

[0021] Further, when there are two second movable plates, the two second movable plates are symmetrically arranged relative to the body.

[0022] Furthermore, the first driving mechanism is a motor.

[0023] Furthermore, the second driving mechanism is a motor.

[0024] Furthermore, the mobile terminal further includes: a control module;

[0025] The control module is used to control the time difference between the start time of the first driving mechanism and the start time of the second driving mechanism.

[0026] Furthermore, a timer is provided in the second driving mechanism, and the timer is used to trigger the second driving mechanism to work at the start time;

[0027] The control module controls the operation of the timer. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0033] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] Since the camera 200 is to move up and down in the channel in the housing 100, a gap is designed around the channel. This may cause water and dust to enter the mobile terminal through the gap, affecting the user experience.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a mobile terminal, including: a housing 100;

[0036] Moving the camera 200 installed in the housing 100 along a first direction, wherein the camera 200 has a fixed state and a moving state;

[0037] The camera 200 includes: a body 210 and a dustproof component 220 movably mounted on the body 210 along a second direction, the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction, and the dustproof component 220 has a first working state and a second working state relative to the housing 100;

[0038] When the camera 200 is in a fixed state, the dustproof assembly 220 is in a first working state, and the dustproof assembly 220 extends into the housing 100 so that the camera 200 is locked with the housing 100;

[0039] When the camera 200 is in a moving state, the dustproof assembly 220 is in a second working state, and the dustproof assembly 220 is retracted into the body 210 to unlock the camera 200 and the housing 100;

[0040] A first driving mechanism 300, used for driving the camera 200 to extend or retract the housing 100;

[0041] The second driving mechanism 400 is used to drive the dustproof assembly 220 to extend or retract the body 210 .

[0042] Here, the first driving mechanism 300 is a motor, and the second driving mechanism 400 is a motor.

[0043] It should be noted that the camera 200 of the mobile terminal is driven to extend or retract into the housing 100 along a first direction by the first driving mechanism 300. Although this telescopic method of the camera 200 can increase the screen-to-body ratio, since the camera 200 is extended and retracted and has two states, fixed and mobile, this often leads to serious problems with waterproofing and dustproofing at the sliding position. Dust or water can easily fall into the housing 100 from the sliding gap between the camera 200 and the housing 100, thereby affecting the normal use of other components in the housing 100. Therefore, in order to solve the problem of dust and waterproofing, a retractable dustproof component 220 is installed on the camera 200 body 210, and the second driving structure drives the dustproof component 220 to move in the second direction. The dustproof component 220 0 has a first working state and a second working state relative to the shell 100. When the camera 200 is in a fixed state, the dustproof component 220 is in the first working state, that is, it extends into the shell 100 and is fixed in a relative position with the shell 100, and at the same time, the gap at the sliding position of the camera 200 is blocked. By blocking the gap with the dustproof component 220, dust and water entering through the gap when the telescopic camera 200 is used in the mobile terminal are effectively improved, thereby improving the user experience; when the camera 200 is in a mobile state, the dustproof component 220 is in the second working state, that is, the second driving device drives the dustproof component 220 to be retracted into the camera 200 body 210, so that the camera 200 and the shell 100 are unlocked, so that the camera 200 slides along the first direction.

[0044] Specifically, the dustproof assembly 220 includes: a first movable member 221 and a second movable member 222 arranged at intervals on the body 210 along a first direction;

[0045] When the camera 200 is in a fixed state and extends out of the shell 100, the first movable part 221 is in a second working state, that is, the first movable part 221 retracts into the main body 210 in the dustproof component 220, and the second movable part 222 is in the first working state, that is, the second movable part 222 extends out of the main body 210 in the dustproof component 220 and extends into the shell 100 of the mobile terminal, thereby locking the positions of the dustproof component 220 and the camera 200, and effectively preventing dust and water from entering from the gap between the camera 200 and the shell 100.

[0046] When the camera 200 is in a fixed state and retracted into the shell 100, the first movable part 221 is in a first working state, that is, the first movable part 221 extends out of the main body 210 in the dustproof component 220 and extends into the shell 100 of the mobile terminal, thereby locking the positions of the dustproof component 220 and the camera 200, and effectively preventing dust and water from entering through the gap between the camera 200 and the shell 100; and the second movable part 222 is in a second working state, that is, the second movable part 222 is retracted into the main body 210 in the dustproof component 220.

[0047] Since the shell 100 has a channel for moving the dustproof component 220, when the camera 200 is in a moving state, the first movable part 221 and the second movable part 222 are both in a second working state, that is, the first movable part 221 and the second movable part 222 are both retracted into the main body 210 of the dustproof component 220, so as to facilitate the movement of the dustproof component 220 along the channel.

[0048] The first movable member 221 and the second movable member 222 are arranged along the extension direction of the camera 200 , the first movable member 221 is close to the front end of the camera 200 , and the second movable member 222 is close to the rear end of the camera 200 .

[0049] In addition, the first movable member 221 includes: at least one first movable plate;

[0050] The shell 100 includes: an escape area 500 that cooperates with the first movable plate; when the first movable plate extends out of the main body 210 in the dustproof component 220, it extends into the escape area 500 in the shell 100, and completes the locking of the dustproof component 220 and the shell 100. Since the shell 100 has the escape area 500, it can effectively avoid damage to the shell 100 caused by the movement of the first movable plate.

[0051] In addition, the second movable member 222 includes: at least one second movable plate;

[0052] The shell 100 includes: an escape area 500 that cooperates with the second movable plate. When the second movable plate extends out of the main body 210 in the dustproof component 220, it extends into the escape area 500 in the shell 100 and completes the locking of the two. Since the shell 100 has the escape area 500, it can effectively avoid damage to the shell 100 caused by the movement of the second movable plate.

[0053] In order to increase the stability of the fixation of the shell 100 and the dustproof component 220, two first movable plates can be set, and the two first movable plates are symmetrically arranged relative to the main body 210. Such an arrangement also seals the gap at the sliding position of the camera 200 more tightly. By sealing the gap with the two first movable plates, the dust and water ingress through the gap when the telescopic camera 200 is used in the mobile terminal is effectively improved, thereby improving the user experience.

[0054] Similarly, in order to increase the stability of the fixation of the shell 100 and the dustproof component 220, two second movable plates can be provided, and the two second movable plates are symmetrically arranged relative to the main body 210. Such an arrangement also seals the gap at the sliding position of the camera 200 more tightly. By sealing the gap with two second movable plates, the dust and water ingress through the gap when using the telescopic camera 200 in the mobile terminal is effectively improved, thereby improving the user experience.

[0055] In addition, the mobile terminal further includes: a control module; the control module is used to control the time difference between the start time of the first drive mechanism 300 and the start time of the second drive mechanism 400. The second drive mechanism 400 is provided with a timer, the timer is used to trigger the second drive mechanism 400 to work at the start time; the control module controls the timer to work.

[0056] The working process of the camera 200 of the mobile terminal provided by the specific embodiment of the present invention is as follows:

[0057] The time from the camera 200 starting to rise to the camera 200 extending out of the housing 100 and being fixed is recorded as ΔT, and this time ΔT is set in the control module. After the first movable member 221 is driven by the second drive mechanism 400 to retract, the timer in the second drive mechanism 400 immediately starts to count down, and the time is ΔT. When the timer ends, the timer drives the second drive mechanism 400 to start working, and drives the second movable member 222 to extend to cooperate with the housing 100 and complete the sealing and fixing.

[0058] When the camera 200 returns from the extended state to the initial state of being retracted into the shell 100: the first driving structure drives the camera 200 downward, and triggers the synchronous activation of the second driving mechanism 400. After the retraction of the second movable part 222 is completed, the timer in the second driving mechanism 400 immediately starts to count down, and the time is ΔT. When the timing ends, the second driving mechanism 400 is driven to start working, and the first movable part 221 is driven to rise to cooperate with the shell 100 and complete the sealing and fixation.

[0059] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications to the embodiments of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Thus, if these modifications and variations of the present invention fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalents, the present invention is also intended to include these modifications and variations.
