[0023] The technical solutions in the implementation scheme of the application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the implementation scheme of the application.
[0024] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present application provides an electronic device 100, which includes:
[0025] The device body 10 is provided with a storage slot 11;
[0026] The camera 20 is movable to extend or retract in the storage slot 11, and when retracted in the storage slot 11, its shooting direction is consistent with the opening direction of the storage slot 11, and when extended in the storage slot 11, its shooting direction is perpendicular to the opening direction of the storage slot 11;
[0027] A first lens assembly 30 is movably extended or retracted in the storage slot 11 and is located on one side of the camera 20. When the first lens assembly 30 is extended from the storage slot 11, its main optical axis is perpendicular to the opening of the storage slot 11.
[0028] When the first lens assembly 30 and the camera 20 both extend out of the receiving slot 11 , the main optical axis of the first lens assembly 30 coincides with the main optical axis of the camera 20 , and the camera 20 acquires shooting light through the first lens assembly 30 .
[0029] It is understandable that the electronic device 100 may be a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, or a laptop computer.
[0030] The camera 20 can be extended from the storage slot 11, and the first lens assembly 30 can also be extended from the storage slot 11, so that the camera 20 can be used in conjunction with the first lens assembly 30 to shoot, and when the camera 20 is retracted into the storage slot 11, the camera 20 can shoot alone, thereby realizing two shooting modes with one camera 20, saving the use space of the electronic device 100, reducing costs, and realizing the use of the first lens assembly 30 to meet the real optical shooting requirements and improve the shooting effect.
[0031] In this embodiment, the device body 10 includes a housing 12 and a mainboard 13 fixed within the housing 12. The housing 12 has a receiving cavity 121, within which the mainboard 13 is fixed. A receiving slot 11 is formed in the housing 12 and communicates with the receiving cavity 121, facilitating electrical connection of the camera 20 to the mainboard 13 via the receiving slot 11. The receiving slot 11 extends from the outer surface to the inner surface of the housing 12. The device body 10 also includes a lens holder 122 connected to the housing 12 and adapted to extend or retract with the receiving slot 11. The camera 20 is fixed to the lens holder 122 and extends or retracts within the receiving slot 11 as the lens holder 122 moves relative to the housing 12. The camera 20 includes a holder 21, a photosensitive chip 22 fixed within the holder 21, a lens assembly 23 connected to the holder 21, and a lens motor 24 for driving the lens assembly 23. The holder 21 is fixedly connected to the lens holder 122. The lens assembly 23 is composed of a plurality of lenses stacked together. The lens motor 24 drives the lens assembly 23 to move so as to achieve focusing of the camera 20. When the lens bracket 122 drives the camera 20 to extend out of the storage slot 11, the camera 20 at least partially extends out of the storage slot 11, and the lens assembly 23 is completely located outside the storage slot 11, so that the camera 20 can obtain light. The shooting direction of the camera 20 is the main optical axis direction of the lens assembly 23. When the camera 20 is accommodated in the storage slot 11, the photosensitive chip 22 obtains light through the lens assembly 23 and converts the optical signal into an electrical signal to obtain an image, that is, the camera 20 can meet conventional shooting requirements. When the camera 20 extends out of the storage slot 11 and the first lens assembly 30 extends out of the storage slot 11, the photosensitive chip 22 obtains light through the lens assembly 23 and the first lens assembly 30 and converts the optical signal into an electrical signal to enable the camera 20 to shoot through the first lens assembly 30. The first lens assembly 30 is composed of at least one lens. Therefore, when the camera 20 is shooting through the first lens assembly 30, it is equivalent to adding another lens to the camera 20, so that the shooting focal length, shooting depth of field, shooting aperture and other structures are all changed, thereby presenting a new shooting mode. Since the shooting direction of the camera 20 is consistent with the opening direction of the storage slot 11 when the camera 20 is accommodated in the storage slot 11, the first lens assembly 30 is also accommodated in the storage slot 11 at this time. The lens assembly 23 of the camera 20 is adjacent to the opening of the storage slot 11 and does not overlap with the first lens assembly 30 in the shooting direction of the camera 20. Therefore, the camera 20 meets the requirements of conventional shooting.When the camera 20 and the first lens assembly 30 both extend out of the storage slot 11 , the first lens assembly 30 is in the shooting direction of the camera 20 , and the camera 20 and the first lens assembly 30 together constitute a new shooting structure, thereby satisfying the new shooting mode.
[0032] Optionally, the lens holder 122 is provided with a fixing groove 1221 and a lens 1222 covering the fixing groove 1221. The camera 20 is fixed in the fixing groove 1221 and receives light through the lens 1222. The lens 1222 is a high-strength, wear-resistant, scratch-resistant, and pressure-resistant glass plate. The lens 1222 protects the camera 20 from dust and impurities that interfere with its image capture.
[0033] In this embodiment, the device body 10 also includes a first lens bracket 14, and the first lens assembly 30 is fixed on the first lens bracket 14. The first lens bracket 14 is movably connected to the housing 12. The first lens assembly 30 is fixed on the first lens bracket 14. The first lens bracket 14 moves relative to the housing 12, thereby driving the first lens assembly 30 to extend or retract in the storage slot 11. The main optical axis of the first lens assembly 30 is coincident with the main optical axis of the camera 20, thereby ensuring that the light of the first lens assembly 30 and the lens assembly 23 can be focused on the photosensitive chip 22, so as to facilitate imaging on the photosensitive chip 22.
[0034] It is understandable that since the electronic device 100 is generally thin, it is impossible to stack a lens assembly on the camera 20 so that the camera 20 can meet multiple shooting modes. However, the electronic device 100 of the present application can extend the camera 20 out of the storage slot 11, and the first lens assembly 30 can also extend out of the storage slot 11, so that the camera 20 and the first lens assembly 30 can be stacked vertically in the thickness direction of the electronic device 100, and the distance between the camera 20 and the first lens assembly 30 can be unrestricted, that is, the distance between the camera 20 and the first lens assembly 30 can be pulled to be much larger than the size of the camera 20 to meet the long focal length requirements and truly improve the optical performance for shooting.
[0035] Further, see Figure 3 and Figure 4The device body 10 includes a first part 15 and a second part 16. The first part 15 and the second part 16 can be in a closed, semi-expanded, or expanded state. At least one of the first part 15 and the second part 16 is provided with the storage slot 11. When the first part 15 and the second part 16 are in a closed or expanded state, the camera 20 is retracted in the storage slot 11. When the first part 15 and the second part 16 are in a semi-expanded state, the camera 20 extends out of the storage slot 11.
[0036] In this embodiment, the first part 15 includes a first shell 151 and a first functional component fixed in the first shell 151, and the second part 16 includes a second shell 161 and a second functional component fixed in the second shell 161. The first functional component can be a fingerprint module, a sensor, a circuit board, an antenna, and the like, and the second functional component can be a speaker, a sensor, a circuit board, an antenna, and the like. The first shell 151 and the second shell 161 can together constitute the shell 12 of the electronic device 100. The first part 15 and the second part 16 can be closed or unfolded, making the electronic device 100 foldable. When the first part 15 and the second part 16 are closed, it is convenient to carry the electronic device 100. When the first part 15 and the second part 16 are unfolded, the electronic device 100 can form a flat structure, making it convenient to operate the electronic device 100.
[0037] The storage slot 11 is defined within the first housing 151. When the first housing 151 and the second housing 161 are closed, the storage slot 11 is located on the side of the first housing 151 facing away from the second housing 161. Specifically, the side of the first housing 151 on which the storage slot 11 is located is the back of the first housing 151, while the side of the second housing 161 facing away from the storage slot 11 is the back of the second housing 161. When the first portion 15 and the second portion 16 are closed, the first housing 151 and the second housing 161 are closed, with the backs of the first housing 151 and the second housing 161 facing away from each other. When the first portion 15 and the second portion 16 are unfolded, the first housing 151 and the second housing 161 are unfolded, with the backs of the first housing 151 and the backs of the second housing 161 aligned. Whether the first housing 151 and the second housing 161 are closed or unfolded, the camera 20 is housed within the storage slot 11, allowing the camera 20 to function as either a rear-facing or front-facing camera 20 of the electronic device 100. When the first portion 15 and the second portion 16 are in a semi-expanded state, that is, the back of the first housing 151 is perpendicular to the back of the second housing 161, the user can grasp the second portion 16 to adjust the shooting direction of the camera 20. In other words, the second portion 16 can function as a bracket 21 or a handle structure. In other words, when the first portion 15 and the second portion 16 are in a semi-expanded state, the back of the second housing 161 is parallel to the vertical direction, and the back of the second housing 161 can be adjusted to be parallel to the horizontal direction, so that the camera 20 can extend from the storage slot 11 and the shooting direction of the camera 20 is parallel to the horizontal direction, thereby facilitating the camera 20 to capture shooting light through the first lens assembly 30.
[0038] Of course, in other embodiments, the storage groove 11 can be provided on the back of the first part 15 and the back of the second part 16, and the electronic device 100 includes two cameras 20 and two first lens assemblies 23, so that when the first part 15 and the second part 16 are in a semi-expanded state, by holding either the first part 15 or the second part 16, the camera 20 and the first lens assembly 23 can be extended out of the storage groove 11, thereby facilitating the camera 20 and the first lens assembly 23 of either the first part 15 or the second part 16 to take pictures.
[0039] Further, see Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6The first part 15 has a first back side 152, the second part 16 has a second back side 162, the storage slot 11 is opened from the first back side 152 to the other side, and the second back side 162 is provided with a back display screen 40. When the first part 15 and the second part 16 are in a closed state, the first back side 152 and the second back side 162 are away from each other. When the first part 15 and the second part 16 are in a semi-expanded state, the direction of the back display screen 40 is parallel to or opposite to the direction of the camera 20.
[0040] See also Figure 5 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 In this embodiment, the first back surface 152 is formed on the first housing 151, and the second back surface 162 is formed on the second housing 161. The second back surface 162 has a display cutout area. The rear display screen 40 is fixed to the second housing 161 and corresponds to the display cutout area, so that the rear display screen 40 can display images through the display cutout area. The rear display screen 40 is disposed on the back of the second portion 16 and can serve as an auxiliary display screen. When the electronic device 100 is in a folded configuration, the rear display screen 40 is located outside the electronic device 100, allowing the image displayed on the rear display screen 40 to be visible. When the first portion 15 and the second portion 16 are in a semi-expanded state, the camera 20 faces approximately opposite directions from the rear display screen 40, and the first lens assembly 23 is located on the side of the camera 20 away from the rear display screen 40. The camera 20 can serve as a rear camera for the rear display screen 40, allowing the camera 20 to capture rear-facing objects while the rear display screen 40 simultaneously displays the rear-facing objects.
[0041] Specifically, the side-by-side direction of the first lens assembly 30 and the camera 20 is parallel to the side of the first shell 151, so that the main optical axis of the camera 20 coincides with the main optical axis of the first lens assembly 30, and the orientation of the display screen can also be parallel to the orientation of the camera 20.
[0042] In another embodiment, when the first portion 15 and the second portion 16 are in a semi-expanded state, the camera 20 is oriented in substantially the same direction as the rear display screen 40, and the first lens assembly 23 is located on the side of the camera 20 closer to the rear display screen 40. The camera 20 can serve as a front-facing camera for the rear display screen 40, making it easier for users to take selfies with the camera 20.
[0043] Optionally, the periphery of the back display screen 40 is adjacent to the edge of the second back side 162, that is, the back display screen 40 occupies a larger area of the second back side 162, so that the screen-to-body ratio of the back display screen 40 in the second shell 161 is larger, so that the electronic device 100 can present a full-screen structure when in the folded state.
[0044] Further, see Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 9 The first part 15 is provided with a first display screen 50 which is opposite to the first back side 152, and the second part 16 is provided with a second display screen 60 which is opposite to the second back side 162. When the first part 15 and the second part 16 are in an unfolded state, the first display screen 50 and the second display screen 60 are in a flattened state.
[0045] In this embodiment, the first display screen 50 and the second display screen 60 serve as the main display screen. When the first portion 15 and the second portion 16 are fully unfolded, the first display screen 50 and the second display screen 60 are flush, and the first display screen 50 and the second display screen 60 are combined to form a large display screen, allowing the electronic device 100 to display a large area when unfolded. The first display screen 50 is fixed to the side of the first housing 151 facing away from the camera 20. The second display screen 60 is opposite the back display screen 40. The first display screen 50 and the second display screen 60 have the same length and width. The first display screen 50 and the second display screen 60 are independent of each other, allowing the electronic device 100 to display split screens when unfolded. Of course, in other embodiments, the first display screen 50 and the second display screen 60 can also form different display areas on a complete foldable display screen. When the first portion 15 and the second portion 16 are folded, the first display screen 50 and the second display screen 60 overlap. When the first portion 15 and the second portion 16 are unfolded, the first display screen 50 and the second display screen 60 unfold to form a flat display screen.
[0046] It is understood that when the camera 20 is accommodated in the storage slot 11 and the first portion 15 and the second portion 16 are in a closed state, the camera 20 can serve as the rear camera 20 of the back display screen 40. When the camera 20 is accommodated in the storage slot 11 and the first portion 15 and the second portion 16 are in an unfolded state, the camera 20 can serve as the front camera 20 of the back display screen 40, or as the rear camera of the first display screen 50 and / or the second display screen 60.
[0047] Further, see Figure 7 and Figure 8 The device body 10 further includes a rotating shaft base 70 that rotatably connects the first part 15 and the second part 16 , and the first part 15 and the second part 16 can rotate around the rotating shaft base 70 .
[0048] In this embodiment, the pivot base 70 is provided with a first pivot axis 71 and a second pivot axis 72 parallel to the first pivot axis 71. The first portion 15 is connected to the first pivot axis 71 and is rotatable about the axis of the first pivot axis 71. The second portion 16 is connected to the second pivot axis 72 and is rotatable about the axis of the second pivot axis 72. Both the first portion 15 and the second portion 16 are rotatable relative to the pivot base 70, allowing the first portion 15 and the second portion 16 to flip over to either a collapsed or unfolded state. By rotatably connecting the first portion 15 and the second portion 16 to the pivot base 70, the first portion 15 and the second portion 16 can each independently rotate relative to the pivot base 70, thereby facilitating control of the rotation angles of the first portion 15 and the second portion 16. Of course, in other embodiments, the first portion 15 and the second portion 16 can be connected to the same pivot axis on the pivot base 70 and are rotatable about the same axis.
[0049] Furthermore, the device body 10 also includes a transmission mechanism connecting the camera 20 and the shaft base 70, and the transmission mechanism is used to transmit the rotational torque of the shaft base 70 to the camera 20 and drive the camera 20 to move relative to the first part 15.
[0050] In this embodiment, the camera 20 extends or retracts within the storage slot 11 by rotating relative to the first housing 151. Specifically, the camera 20 is rotationally connected to the first housing 151, and the rotation axis of the camera 20 is parallel to the first rotation axis 71. The transmission mechanism transmits the rotational torque of the first portion 15 and / or the second portion 16 to the rotation axis of the camera 20, causing the camera 20 to rotate relative to the first housing 151. Specifically, the first portion 15 flips relative to the second portion 16 from a closed or fully extended state to a semi-extended state. The transmission mechanism simultaneously drives the camera 20 to rotate relative to the first housing 151 until it extends from the storage slot 11. When the first portion 15 and the second portion 16 flip from the semi-extended state to the closed or fully extended state, the transmission mechanism 80 simultaneously drives the camera 20 to rotate relative to the first housing 151 until it retracts from the storage slot 11.
[0051] As an operative embodiment, the transmission mechanism includes a first gear, a first connecting rod, a second connecting rod, a third connecting rod, and a second gear. The first gear is fixed to the rotation axis of the camera 20 and is coaxially arranged with the rotation axis of the camera 20. The second gear is fixed to the first rotation axis 71 and is coaxially arranged with the first rotation axis 71. A rack is provided at one end of the first connecting rod to engage with the first gear, and a rack is provided at one end of the second connecting rod to engage with the second gear. The first connecting rod and the second connecting rod are arranged in parallel, and the two ends of the third connecting rod are respectively rotatably connected to the end of the first connecting rod away from the first gear and the end of the second connecting rod away from the second gear. When the first part 15 and the second part 16 rotate 45°, the transmission mechanism drives the camera 20 to rotate 90°.
[0052] During the process of the first part 15 and the second part 16 rotating from a closed state to a semi-expanded state and then from the semi-expanded state to a fully expanded state, the camera 20 rotates from a state retracted in the storage slot 11 to a state extended from the storage slot 11, and then rotates from a state extended from the storage slot 11 to a state retracted in the storage slot 11.
[0053] In another embodiment, the rotation of the camera 20 is independent of the rotation of the first portion 15 and the second portion 16, that is, the device body 10 further includes a camera 20 driving mechanism fixed in the first housing 151. The driving mechanism is connected to the rotation axis of the camera 20 to drive the camera 20 to rotate relative to the first housing 151, thereby driving the camera 20 to extend or retract into the storage slot 11.
[0054] Optionally, the driving mechanism may be a motor, an electromagnetic assembly, or a spring assembly.
[0055] Of course, in other embodiments, the camera 20 may also be both slidably and rotationally connected to the first shell 151, and the transmission mechanism 80 converts the rotational torque of the first part 15 and the second part 16 into a linear sliding torque and a rotational torque and transmits them to the camera 20, so as to drive the camera 20 to slide and rotate and extend relative to the first shell 151.
[0056] In this embodiment, the first lens assembly 30 is slidably connected to the first shell 151. Specifically, the first lens holder 14 is slidably connected to the first shell 151. A synchronous transmission mechanism may be provided between the first lens holder 14 and the first rotating shaft 71 to synchronously drive the first lens assembly 30 to telescopically slide relative to the first shell 151 by utilizing the rotational torque of the first part 15 relative to the rotating shaft base 70. Of course, a first lens driving mechanism that drives the first lens assembly 30 to slide may also be provided in the device body 10. The first lens assembly 30 may also be rotatably connected to the first shell 151. The manner in which the first lens assembly 30 extends or retracts into or out of the storage slot 11 may be the same as the manner in which the camera 20 extends or retracts into or out of the storage slot 11, and will not be described in detail here.
[0057] As an implementation, see Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the first lens assembly 30 is an ultra-wide-angle lens assembly. The focal length of the first lens assembly 30 is relatively short, and the field of view of the first lens is relatively large, so that when the camera 20 shoots through the first lens assembly 30, a shooting image with a relatively large field of view can be obtained. The first lens assembly 30 is relatively close to the camera 20. When the first lens assembly 30 and the camera 20 both extend out of the storage slot 11, the first lens assembly 30 docks with the camera 20 to avoid light leakage between the first lens assembly 30 and the camera 20.
[0058] In another embodiment, see Figure 10 and Figure 11 The first lens assembly 30 can also be a telephoto lens assembly. The first lens assembly 30 has a long focal length. The first lens assembly 30 and the camera 20 can be laid flat on the back of the first housing 151, thereby enabling the electronic device 100 to use the camera 20 and the first lens assembly 30 for long-distance photography. The size of the first lens assembly 30 is not limited by the thickness of the electronic device 100. The length of the first lens assembly 30 can be very long, thereby achieving a 5X to 10X, or even 20X optical zoom, achieving a telescope-like effect.
[0059] It is understandable that the first lens assembly 30 may also be other lenses with special functions, such as a microscope lens, a distortion lens, a fisheye lens, etc.
[0060] Further, see Figure 12 and Figure 13The device body 10 also includes a second lens assembly 90, which can be movably extended or stored in the storage slot 11. The second lens assembly 90 is located on the side of the first lens assembly 30 away from the camera 20. When the second lens assembly 90 and the camera 20 are both extended from the storage slot 11, the main optical axis of the second lens group is parallel to the main optical axis of the camera 20, and the camera 20 obtains shooting light through the first lens assembly 30.
[0061] In this embodiment, the device body 10 further includes a second lens holder 17. The second lens holder 17 is connected to the first housing 151. The second lens assembly 90 is fixed to the second lens holder 17. The second lens holder 17 moves relative to the first housing 151, thereby driving the second lens assembly 90 to extend or retract in the storage slot 11. The main optical axis of the second lens assembly 90 coincides with the main optical axis of the camera 20, thereby ensuring that the light from the second lens assembly 90 and the lens assembly 23 can be focused on the photosensitive chip 22, so as to facilitate imaging on the photosensitive chip 22.
[0062] The second lens assembly 90 is spaced apart from the camera 20 relative to the first lens assembly 30. When the second lens assembly 90 and the camera 20 are extended from the storage slot 11, a distance exists between the second lens assembly 90 and the camera 20. The second lens assembly 90 may be a telephoto camera 20, so that the camera 20 can use the second lens assembly 90 to take long-distance photos. As an illustrative embodiment, after the second lens assembly 90 is extended from the storage slot 11, it can slide linearly relative to the camera 20 along the shooting direction of the camera 20 to achieve optical zoom and enhance shooting performance.
[0063] The second lens holder 17 is connected to the first housing 151 in the same manner as the first lens holder 14 is connected to the second housing 161 , and thus will not be further described.
[0064] Furthermore, when the first lens assembly 30 , the second lens assembly 90 and the camera 20 all extend out of the storage slot 11 , the camera 20 obtains shooting light through the first lens assembly 30 and the second lens assembly 90 .
[0065] In this embodiment, the first lens assembly 30 and the second lens assembly 90 can also together form a new shooting lens, so that the electronic device 100 can obtain more shooting modes. It is understood that after the first lens assembly 30 and the second lens assembly 90 are extended from the storage slot 11, they can slide along the main optical axis of the camera 20 to facilitate the adjustment of the focus of the first lens assembly 30 and the second lens assembly 90, and the shooting mode of the first lens assembly 30 and the second lens assembly 90.
[0066] It is understandable that the first lens assembly 30 and the second lens assembly 90 are respectively matched with the camera 20, so that the electronic device 100 can obtain two shooting modes through one camera 20, and in combination with the camera 20 itself, it can meet the conventional shooting requirements, that is, the electronic device 100 can meet multiple shooting modes without setting up multiple cameras 20, and the shooting performance is improved. The camera 20 can also obtain more shooting modes in combination with the first lens assembly 30 and the second lens assembly 90. Of course, the electronic device 100 can also be provided with a third lens assembly, a fourth lens assembly, and even more lens assemblies. The electronic device 100 does not limit the number of lens assemblies arranged, so that the electronic device 100 can obtain more shooting modes.
[0067] The above is a preferred embodiment of the application. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the application. These improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the scope of protection of the application.
