[0042] Figure 4 is a partial structural cross-sectional view of an electronic device according to an exemplary embodiment, wherein the decoration element is in the second position. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0043] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. Instead, they are merely examples of devices consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0044] In the description of the present disclosure, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer" and the like indicate positions or location relationships based on the attached Figure 2 The orientation or position relationship shown.

[0045] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the present disclosure provides a mounting device for a camera assembly, the mounting device comprising:

[0046] The bracket 120 has a first mounting position 121 on the top for mounting the camera-in-camera module 220;

[0047] The decorative member 110 has a second mounting position 111 on the top for mounting the camera lens 210 in the camera assembly, which is sleeved outside the bracket 120, and the second mounting position 111 is located below the first mounting position;

[0048] The buffer member 130 is elastic and is used to buffer the vibration of the decorative member 110;

[0049] When the camera is subjected to impact, the decoration member 110 moves relative to the bracket 120 and compresses the buffer member 130 .

[0050] When an accident such as a fall or collision occurs, the camera lens 210 is subjected to impact force and the decorative part 110 vibrates. The buffer 130 uses its elasticity to buffer the vibration of the decorative part 110, thereby reducing the risk of damage to the camera lens 210, thereby protecting the camera and improving the user experience.

[0051] When the decorative element 110 vibrates, the relative support 120 moves along the Figure 2 and Figure 4 The first mounting position 121 is arranged opposite to the second mounting position 111 and is spaced apart from the second mounting position 111. The spacing can reduce the collision of the decorative element 110 with the camera module 220 when the decorative element 110 moves.

[0052] Without limitation, Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the second installation position 111 is a groove or a through hole opened on the decorative element 110 .

[0053] The elasticity of the buffer 130 may rely on the elasticity of the material itself. For example, the buffer 130 is made of rubber, which has elasticity itself. The rubber includes but is not limited to polyisoprene rubber, nitrile rubber, silicone rubber, ethylene propylene rubber, polyurethane rubber, etc.

[0054] Alternatively, the elasticity of the buffer 130 comes from its structural characteristics. For example, the buffer 130 is a spring, a spring, etc. In this case, the material of the buffer 130 can be metal.

[0055] In other optional embodiments, the buffer component 130 includes: a first elastic component 132 connected to the bottom of the decorative component 110 .

[0056] The elasticity of the first elastic member 132 can buffer the vibration of the decorative member 110 and protect the camera lens 210. Under the action of the first elastic member 132, the decorative member 110 has at least a first position and a second position, and the first position and the second position are along Figure 2 and Figure 4 When the decorative element 110 is in the first position, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, the first elastic member 132 is in the initial state; when in the second position, as shown Figure 4 As shown, the first elastic member 132 is in a compressed state, and the first elastic member 132 in the compressed state stores an elastic restoring force, under the action of the elastic restoring force, the decorative member 110 can be restored from the second position to the first position.

[0057] The elasticity of the first elastic member 132 comes from its structural characteristics, and the first elastic member 132 can be a spring, a spring sheet, etc. For example, the first elastic member 132 is a compression spring.

[0058] In other optional embodiments, the buffer member 130 includes: a second elastic member 131 located on the side of the decorative member 110 . When the camera is subjected to impact force, the decorative member 110 moves relative to the second elastic member 131 and is in elastic contact or limited contact with the second elastic member 131 .

[0059] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, “elastic contact” refers to the contact between the second elastic member 131 and the decorative member 110 after the second elastic member 131 is deformed.

[0060] “Limited contact” refers to contact in which the second elastic member 131 blocks the decorative member 110 from continuing to move toward the bracket 120 in the Z direction.

[0061] “The decorative component 110 is in elastic contact or limiting contact with the second elastic component 131” means: when the second elastic component 131 only has a buffering function, the decorative component 110 is in elastic contact with the second elastic component 131 only during movement; when the second elastic component 131 only has a limiting function, the decorative component 110 is in limiting contact with the second elastic component 131 only during movement; when the second elastic component 131 has both a buffering function and a limiting function, the decorative component 110 is in elastic contact and limiting contact with the second elastic component 131 in turn at different moments during movement.

[0062] The elastic contact between the decorative element 110 and the second elastic element 131 can also buffer the vibration of the decorative element 110 , thus protecting the camera lens 210 .

[0063] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, when the decorative member 110 is in positioning contact with the second elastic member 131 , the decorative member 110 moves downward to the lowest position, thereby reducing the risk of the decorative member 110 hitting the camera module 220 and improving the protection of the camera module 220 .

[0064] The elasticity of the second elastic member 131 may rely on the elasticity of the material itself. For example, the material of the second elastic member 131 is the rubber mentioned above, and specifically may be a rubber column.

[0065] In other optional embodiments, the buffer member 130 includes both the first elastic member 132 and the second elastic member 131 .

[0066] Part of the vibration received by the decorative member 110 is buffered by the first elastic member 132 , and the other part is buffered by the second elastic member 131 . The first elastic member 132 and the second elastic member 131 are provided at the same time to enhance the buffering protection effect of the impact force received by the camera.

[0067] Specifically, the second elastic member 131 is spaced apart from the first elastic member 132 , and a plurality of the first elastic member 132 and a plurality of the second elastic member 131 may be independently provided, respectively, where a plurality refers to more than two. Figure 1 and Figure 2The exemplary mounting device includes four first elastic members 132 and four second elastic members 131. The second elastic members 131 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the decorative member 110. When the decorative member 110 is subjected to an impact force, the decorative member 110 compresses the first elastic member 132 during the process of moving from the first position to the second position, and the first elastic member 132 stores elastic restoring force. During the movement of the decorative member 110, the second elastic member 131 is compressed, and the second elastic member 131 relies on elastic deformation to buffer the vibration of the decorative member 110. The second elastic member 131 can further reduce the large instantaneous impact force on the camera caused by falling, etc., and improve the protection effect on the camera. After the impact force on the camera is cancelled, the elastic restoring force of the first elastic member 132 restores the decorative member 110 from the second position to the first position.

[0068] Furthermore, the mating surface between the second elastic member 131 and the decorative member 110 is provided with a first bevel guide surface 1312; the mating surface between the decorative member 110 and the second elastic member 131 is provided with a second bevel guide surface 112 adapted to the first bevel guide surface 1312. When the decorative member 110 moves relative to the second elastic member 131, the second bevel guide surface 112 elastically contacts the first bevel guide surface 1312.

[0069] The first guide slope 1312 and the second guide slope 112 have a guiding function during the movement of the decorative member 110 relative to the second elastic member 131. The second guide slope 112 is adapted to the first guide slope 1312, which means that the difference in the inclination direction and / or inclination of the second guide slope 112 and the first guide slope 1312 is within a preset range, for example, the inclination directions and / or inclinations are the same.

[0070] Specifically, Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the first guide bevel 1312 and the second guide bevel 112 are both from top to bottom and inclined toward the center of the decorative member 110. When the decorative member 110 is in the first position, the first guide bevel 1312 is located above the second guide bevel 112. When the decorative member 110 is vibrated, due to the bevel transition fit between the decorative member 110 and the second elastic member 131, and the second elastic member 131 has a certain elastic deformation ability, the first guide bevel 1312 and the second guide bevel 112 are relatively displaced, and the two are in elastic contact, the decorative member 110 sinks, and the second elastic member 131 provides a buffer when falling, reducing the impact force. When the decorative member 110 sinks and is in the second position, under the elastic action of the buffer member 130, the first guide bevel 1312 and the second guide bevel 112 are displaced again, and the decorative member 110 returns to the first position.

[0071] Furthermore, the portion of the mating surface between the second elastic member 131 and the decorative member 110 below the first guide slope 1312 protrudes toward the decorative member 110; when the decorative member 110 moves relative to the second elastic member 131, the decorative member 110 and the upper surface of the protruding portion 1313 of the second elastic member 131 are in limited contact.

[0072] The raised portion 1313 on the second elastic member 131 has a limiting effect on the sinking of the decorative member 110 , effectively preventing the decorative member 110 from excessively sinking and hitting the camera module 220 in the camera assembly, thereby protecting the camera module 220 .

[0073] Specifically, Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the second elastic member 131 has a raised portion 1313 facing the decorative member 110, the raised portion 1313 is located below the first guide slope 1312, the upper surface of the raised portion 1313 is lower than the bottom of the decorative member 110, and is opposite to the decorative member 110. When the decorative member 110 sinks to abut against the upper surface of the raised portion 1313, the raised portion 1313 prevents the decorative member 110 from continuing to sink. The raised portion 1313 on the second elastic member 131 defines the lowest position where the decorative member 110 can sink.

[0074] like Figure 2 As shown, in order to ensure that the camera module 220 is not hit by the decorative member 110, the distance B between the upper surface of the raised portion 1313 of the second elastic member 131 and the decorative member 110 along the Z direction is smaller than the distance between the second mounting position 111 and the top of the camera module 220 along the Z direction. When the decorative member 110 sinks and is limited by the raised portion 1313 of the second elastic member 131, the decorative member 110 is in the second position, and at this time, there is no force between the camera lens 210 and the camera module 220.

[0075] When the decorative member 110 moves in the Z direction, the vibration amplitude of the decorative member 110 along the Z direction is reduced by contacting the first guide slope 1312 and the raised portion 1313. Therefore, the second elastic member 131 can also reduce the vibration amplitude of the decorative member 110 in the Z direction, further reducing the risk of the camera lens 210 being broken.

[0076] In other optional embodiments, the second elastic member 131 has a mounting groove 1311 at the top;

[0077] The installation device further includes: a limiting member 140 , which is partially located in the installation groove 1311 and partially protrudes from the installation groove 1311 , and a lower surface of the protruding portion 141 of the limiting member 140 abuts against the top of the decorative member 110 .

[0078] The limiting member 140 protrudes toward the decorative member 110 , and a lower surface of a protruding portion 141 of the limiting member 140 is higher than a top of the decorative member 110 .

[0079] The limiting member 140 partially extends into the installation groove 1311 to achieve installation with the second elastic member 131, and partially protrudes toward the decorative member 110, so that in the process of the decorative member 110 restoring from the second position to the first position, that is, in the process of the decorative member 110 moving upward, the protruding portion 141 limits the decorative member 110 to prevent the decorative member 110 from moving upward excessively.

[0080] Without limitation, Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the decorative member 110 is provided with a surrounding wall 114 extending downward on the docking surface 113 opposite to the first elastic member 132. The surrounding wall 114 is arranged along the circumference of the first elastic member 132. One end of the first elastic member 132 abuts against the docking surface 113 on the decorative member 110. The surrounding wall 114 limits the circumference of the first elastic member 132 and ensures that the elastic deformation of the first elastic member 132 is carried out along its axial direction. The other end of the first elastic member 132 can abut against the middle frame 300. When the decorative member 110 is in the first position, the decorative member 110 abuts against the raised portion 141 of the limiting member 140. At this time, the first elastic member 132 is initially compressed, and the compression amount of the initial compression is less than the compression amount of the first elastic member 132 when the decorative member 110 is in the second position. The initial compression ensures that the first elastic member 132 provides a continuous lifting force to the decorative member 110, and also ensures the reliability of the assembly of the decorative member 110 and the first elastic member 132.

[0081] Optionally, the limit member 140 can be stably connected to the installation groove 1311 by means of a threaded connection. The threaded connection method is specifically as follows: the portion of the limit member 140 that is adapted to the installation groove 1311 has an external thread, and the installation groove 1311 has an internal thread adapted to the external thread. The limit member 140 is inserted into the installation groove 1311 and fixed by the external thread and the internal thread. The raised portion 141 of the limit member 140 is exposed outside the installation groove 1311. The threaded connection method can adjust the limiting height of the limit member 140 on the decorative member 110, and then adjust the initial compression amount of the decorative member 110 on the first elastic member 132. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As mentioned above, the limiting member 140 may specifically be a screw.

[0082] Alternatively, the stopper 140 forms a stable connection with the mounting groove 1311 by a tight fit, and the tight fit can be specifically: the outer diameter of the portion of the stopper 140 that fits the mounting groove 1311 is larger than the inner diameter of the mounting groove 1311, and the stopper 140 and the mounting groove 1311 are interference fit. Alternatively, the stopper 140 is connected to the mounting groove 1311 by a snap-fitting method, and the snap-fitting method can be specifically: a snap hook (not shown) is provided on the portion of the stopper 140 that fits the mounting groove 1311, and a snap slot (not shown) that fits the snap hook is provided in the mounting groove 1311, and when the stopper 140 is connected to the mounting groove 1311, the snap hook will be snapped into the snap slot, so that the stopper 140 is fixed in the mounting groove 1311. Alternatively, the stopper 140 is connected to the mounting groove 1311 by gluing or welding.

[0083] Furthermore, the mounting device further includes: a sealing ring 150 , which is sleeved on the outside of the bracket 120 and located between the bracket 120 and the decorative element 110 .

[0084] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the sealing ring 150 is located between the bracket 120 and the decorative element 110, and there is an interference fit between the decorative element 110 and the sealing ring 150. When the decorative element 110 moves relative to the bracket 120 along the Z direction, the sealing ring 150 can effectively seal the matching gap between the bracket 120 and the decorative element 110, improve the reliability of the sealing effect between the two, and reduce the sealing failure phenomenon when the decorative element 110 and the bracket 120 are displaced from each other. The sealing ring 150 can also be made of rubber material, which is elastic and can improve the sealing effect between the decorative element 110 and the bracket 120.

[0085] In other optional embodiments, the installation device further includes: a sealing body 160 , which is located on the top of the decorative element 110 and surrounds the second installation position 111 .

[0086] The sealing body 160 can at least be used to seal the assembly gap between the decorative part 110 and the external component located outside the decorative part 110. For example, in the electronic device described below, the external component refers to the housing (not shown), and the housing is connected to the decorative part 110. At this time, the sealing body 160 seals the gap between the decorative part 110 and the housing to prevent impurities such as dust inside or outside the housing from entering the installation device.

[0087] Without limitation, the sealing body 160 is made of foam, which includes but is not limited to polyurethane foam, silicon foam, polyolefin foam material, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer foam, and the like.

[0088] The shape of the sealing body 160 can be set according to the shape of the periphery of the second installation position 111 , for example: the sealing body is a sealing ring.

[0089] The present disclosure also provides a camera assembly, the camera assembly comprising:

[0090] The mounting device of any of the above embodiments, and

[0091] Camera, the camera includes:

[0092] A camera module 220 for collecting images is installed on the first installation position 121;

[0093] The camera lens 210 is installed on the second installation position 111 .

[0094] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the camera module 220 and the camera lens 210 are arranged relative to each other, wherein the E region schematically shows the optical path when collecting images. In a non-limiting manner, an adhesive is provided on the back and / or side of the camera lens 210, and the camera lens 210 is fixed to the second mounting position 111 by gluing. In addition, the camera lens 210 can also be fixed to the second mounting position 111 by means of snapping, welding, etc.

[0095] Without limitation, the camera module 220 may also be fixed on the first installation position 121 by gluing.

[0096] The present disclosure also provides an electronic device, the electronic device comprising:

[0097] A middle frame 300; and

[0098] In the camera assembly described in any of the above embodiments, the bracket 120 is installed on the middle frame 300, one end of the buffer is in contact with the decorative member 110, and the other end is installed on the middle frame 300.

[0099] Electronic devices include mobile terminals and fixed terminals. Mobile terminals include mobile phones, laptops, tablets, drones, wearable electronic devices, etc., and fixed terminals include personal computers, televisions, etc.

[0100] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the top of the first elastic member 132 in the camera assembly is connected to the decorative member 110, the bottom of the first elastic member 132 is connected to the middle frame 300, and the bottom of the bracket 120 and the bottom of the second elastic member 131 are fixed to the middle frame 300. Further, the top of the middle frame 300 has a convex column 310 protruding toward the decorative member 110, the first elastic member 131 is sleeved outside the convex column 310, and abuts against the top of the middle frame 300, and the convex column 310 has a limited position guiding effect on the first elastic member 131, further ensuring that the elastic deformation of the first elastic member 131 is carried out along its axial direction.

[0101] Without limitation, the second elastic member 131 is fixed relative to the middle frame 300 by welding.

[0102] In other optional embodiments, the electronic device further includes: a housing, the housing is connected to the middle frame 300, the decorative component 110 in the camera assembly partially protrudes out of the housing, and the camera lens 210 is exposed outside the housing.

[0103] The shell has a protective effect on the camera assembly. The shell is provided with a through hole corresponding to the camera lens 210. The camera lens 210 can be exposed outside the shell through the through hole to achieve the purpose of shooting.

[0104] The decorative element 110 protruding from the housing may be exposed externally, so the decorative element 110 may be designed to be decorative.

[0105] like Figure 2 As shown, when an accident such as falling occurs, the decorative member 110 protruding from the housing will first be affected by the impact force F, thereby driving the camera lens 210 to sink, further improving the protection effect of the camera lens 210.

[0106] For example, in the case of an electronic device, a mobile phone is used as an example. The housing can be the rear housing of the mobile phone, which usually covers the outside of the battery in the mobile phone and can also be called a battery cover.
