[0026] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a smartphone 100 that provides a stable shooting image according to an embodiment of this application. The smartphone 100 is equipped with a camera (not shown) and the image shooting function of the smartphone 100 is realized through the camera.

[0027] Furthermore, the smartphone 100 includes a housing assembly 10, a drive device 20, and a linkage assembly 30.

[0028] Specifically, the housing assembly 10 includes the outer shell 101 and the middle frame 102 of the smartphone 100. The edge portions of the outer shell 101 and the middle frame 102 are connected to form a receiving space (not shown). The receiving space is used to install and receive other structural components and electronic components of the smartphone 100.

[0029] Furthermore, the outer shell 101 includes a front shell (not shown) and a rear shell (not labeled), and the front shell, the rear shell and the edge portion of the middle frame 102 are connected to form the receiving space.

[0030] The middle frame 102 is partially used to connect with the front shell and the rear shell to form the receiving space, and part of it is located in the receiving space for installing and fixing other structural components and electronic components.

[0031] In an embodiment of this application, the housing assembly 10 has a connection hole (not shown) on its side wall. The connection hole is a through hole that connects the receiving space and the external environment, and is used for the linkage assembly 30 to pass through during use.

[0032] The drive device 20 is used to drive the movement of the linkage assembly 30, and the movement of the linkage assembly 30 includes swinging and extension / retraction.

[0033] In some embodiments, the drive device 20 includes a drive motor (not shown), a first gear 201 and a second gear 202, the output end of the drive motor is connected to the first gear 201, and the first gear 201 meshes with the second gear 202.

[0034] The drive motor and the second gear 202 are both assembled and fixed to the middle frame 102, or the drive motor, the first gear 201 and the second gear 202 are all assembled and fixed to the middle frame 102.

[0035] The first gear 201 has a motor connection hole (not shown) at its center. The output end of the drive motor is connected to the motor connection hole so that when the drive motor is working, its output end rotates to control the rotation of the first gear 201.

[0036] The first gear 201 is also provided with a first mating hole (not shown), and the second gear 202 is provided with a second mating hole (not shown). The first mating hole and the second mating hole can be through holes or blind holes. The second mating hole is not located at the center of the second gear 202.

[0037] Accordingly, the linkage assembly 30 is used to connect to the drive device 20 and extends outside the smartphone 100. The drive device 20 controls the externally located linkage assembly 30 to swing.

[0038] The linkage assembly 30 includes a first link 301, a second link 302, a third link 303, a fourth link 304, and a fifth link 305.

[0039] Specifically, one end of the first connecting rod 301 is provided with a hinged through hole, which is hinged to the second connecting rod 302 and the third connecting rod 303. The other end passes through the connecting hole and is located in the external environment. When the user uses the smartphone 100 to take pictures, the hand holds the extended end of the first connecting rod 301.

[0040] Both ends of the second connecting rod 302 are provided with hinged through holes. One end is hinged to the first connecting rod 301 through the hinged through hole and a pin, and the other end is assembled and connected to the first mating hole of the first gear 201 through the hinged through hole and a pin, so that the first gear 201 can rotate relative to the second connecting rod 302 under the action of external force.

[0041] Both ends of the third connecting rod 303 are provided with hinged through holes. One end is hinged to the first connecting rod 301 through the hinged through hole and a pin, and the other end is assembled and connected to the second mating hole of the second gear 202 through the hinged through hole and a pin, so that the second gear 202 can rotate relative to the third connecting rod 303 under the action of external force.

[0042] The second connecting rod 302 and the third connecting rod 303 are also provided with a hinged through hole at their midpoints. One end of the fourth connecting rod 304 is assembled with the second connecting rod 302 through the hinged through hole and a pin. One end of the fifth connecting rod 305 is assembled with the third connecting rod 303 through the hinged through hole and a pin. The other ends of the fourth connecting rod 304 and the fifth connecting rod 305 are hinged together, so that the fourth connecting rod 304 can rotate relative to the second connecting rod 302, and the fifth connecting rod 305 can rotate relative to the third connecting rod 303. Furthermore, the second connecting rod 302 and the third connecting rod 303 are indirectly connected, that is, indirectly connected to the first gear 201 and the second gear 202, while limiting the rotation angle of the first gear 201 and the second gear 202.

[0043] Optionally, four drive devices 20, four connection holes, and four link assemblies 30 are provided. All four drive devices 20 are located within the receiving space. With the smartphone 100 in an upright position as a reference, the shorter sides of the smartphone 100 are located in the horizontal direction, and the longer sides of the smartphone 100 are located in the vertical direction. The four connection holes are located on the shorter sides of the smartphone 100 in pairs, and the two connection holes on the same side are spaced apart. Each link assembly 30 corresponds to one connection hole, that is, each first link 301 corresponds to one first connection hole.

[0044] It should be noted that the location and number of the connecting holes are determined according to the location and number of the driving device 20 in the smartphone 100. Here, the location and number of the connecting holes are not limited, and correspondingly, the location and number of the driving device 20 and the connecting rod assembly 30 are not limited either.

[0045] In this embodiment, when using the smartphone 100 to take images, the user's hand holds the extended ends of the four first connecting rods 301. When shaking occurs, the driving device 20 controls the rotation direction and rotation angle of the drive motor according to the acquired shaking direction and shaking frequency, thereby controlling the rotation of the first gear 201 and the second gear 202, and further controlling the state of the connecting rod assembly 30, causing the extended ends of the first connecting rods 301 to swing in the same direction as the shaking. Since the extended ends of the first connecting rods 301 are held by the user's hand, the smartphone 100 moves relative to the user's hand in the opposite direction to the shaking, compensating for the shaking and achieving stable image capture.

[0046] In other embodiments, the drive device 20 includes a first drive motor (not shown) and a second drive motor (not shown), both of which are piezoelectric ceramic motors.

[0047] Accordingly, the linkage assembly 30 includes the first linkage 301, but does not include the second linkage 302, the third linkage 303, the fourth linkage 304, or the fifth linkage 305.

[0048] The first drive motor and the second drive motor are respectively connected to both sides of the first connecting rod 301. Specifically, the output ends of the first drive motor and the second drive motor are respectively connected to both sides of the first connecting rod 301. During control, when the output end of the first drive motor extends to the right, the output end of the second drive motor retracts to the left, thereby controlling the swing of the first connecting rod 301, that is, controlling the extended end of the first connecting rod 301 to swing.

[0049] Similarly, in this embodiment, four drive devices 20, four connection holes, and four link assemblies 30 are provided, namely, four first drive motors, four second drive motors, four connection holes, and four first link 301s. With the smartphone 100 in an upright position as a reference, the shorter sides of the smartphone 100 are located in the horizontal direction, and the longer sides of the smartphone 100 are located in the vertical direction. The four connection holes are located on the shorter sides of the smartphone 100 in pairs, and the two connection holes on the same side are spaced apart. Each first link 301 corresponds to one connection hole, and one first drive motor and one second drive motor jointly control one first link 301.

[0050] In this embodiment, when using the smartphone 100 to take pictures, the user's hand holds the extended ends of the four first connecting rods 301. When shaking occurs, the driving device 20 controls the movement state and stroke of the output ends of the first driving motor and the second driving motor according to the acquired shaking direction and shaking frequency, thereby causing the extended ends of the first connecting rods 301 to swing in the same direction as the shaking. Since the extended ends of the first connecting rods 301 are held by the user's hand, the smartphone 100 moves in the opposite direction to the shaking direction relative to the user's hand, compensating for the shaking and achieving stable shooting.

[0051] Optionally, the first link 301 can be configured as a telescopic rod structure, that is, the first link 301 can be extended or shortened. By configuring the first link 301 as a telescopic rod structure, the first link 301 can be extended when taking pictures, making it easier for the user to grasp the extended end of the first link 301. When not taking pictures, the first link 301 can be shortened to avoid the extension of the first link 301 causing inconvenience to the user.

[0052] Optionally, a sealing structure can be provided at the connection hole. The sealing structure is made of elastic rubber material and has a sleeve hole that matches the cross-sectional shape or outer diameter of the first connecting rod 301. The first connecting rod 301 passes through the sleeve hole and is partially located in the external environment. Furthermore, the sealing structure shields the connection hole to prevent dust and moisture in the external environment from affecting the internal structural components and electronic components of the smartphone 100.

[0053] Optionally, a buffer sleeve can be provided on the end of the first link 301 that is located in the external environment. The buffer sleeve can be made of silicone and is used to contact the human hand to avoid discomfort to the human hand when gripping, thereby improving the user experience.

[0054] Optionally, the smartphone 100 may also be equipped with a gyroscope (not shown) to obtain the shaking direction and shaking frequency of the smartphone 100, so as to control the driving device 20 according to the shaking direction and shaking frequency.

[0055] Optionally, the smartphone 100 also includes a control circuit. The gyroscope acquires the shaking direction and shaking frequency of the smartphone 100 and sends the relevant information of the shaking direction and shaking frequency to the control circuit. The control circuit controls the working state of the drive device 20 according to the received information, so as to realize that the first link 301 of the link assembly 30 compensates for the shaking in the opposite direction to the shaking direction, so as to achieve the purpose of stabilizing the shooting image.

[0056] This application provides a smartphone for stabilizing image capture, including a housing assembly 10, a driving device 20, and a connecting rod assembly 30. The housing assembly 10 has an internal receiving space and a connecting hole on its side wall, connecting the receiving space to the external environment. The driving device 20 is fixed within the receiving space. One end of the connecting rod assembly 30 is connected to the driving device 20, and the other end passes through the connecting hole and is located in the external environment for hand gripping. During image capture, the driving device 20 controls the connecting rod assembly 30 to swing in the same direction as the shaking direction based on the shaking direction and frequency of the smartphone 100. Because the hand grips the connecting rod assembly 30, the gripping force causes the smartphone 100 to move relative to the hand in the opposite direction to the shaking direction, thereby compensating for the shaking in the opposite direction and achieving stable image capture.

[0057] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0058] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application.
