The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present application, but are not used to limit the scope of the present application.

Specifically, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present related concepts in a specific way.

[0039] An embodiment of the present application provides an electronic device, which may be a tablet computer, an all-in-one computer, a mobile phone, etc., which may integrate online office, remote diagnosis and treatment, remote education, and online entertainment, and may be used in multiple scenarios.

[0040] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The electronic device provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a device body 1, a moving part 2 and a functional element 3. The device body 1 includes a first surface 11 and a second surface 12 arranged opposite to each other; the moving part 2 is arranged on the second surface 12, and the moving part 2 can move along the extension direction of the device body 1 so that the protruding part 21 of the moving part 2 is protruded or retracted relative to the device body 1. The moving part 2 includes a third surface 22. When the protruding part 21 is protruded, the part of the third surface 22 corresponding to the protruding part 21 is in the same direction as the first surface 11; when the protruding part 21 is retracted, the part of the third surface 22 corresponding to the protruding part 21 is in contact with the second surface 12; at least one sensing functional element 3 is arranged on the protruding part 21.

[0041] The electronic device provided in the embodiment of the present application has a device body 1 having a first surface 11 and a second surface 12, and the first surface 11 and the second surface 12 are arranged opposite to each other. The first surface 11 and the second surface 12 can be the display side or the back panel side of the device body 1, etc.

[0042] A moving part 2 is arranged on the second surface 12 of the device body 1. The moving part 2 can move along the extension direction of the device body 1 so that the protruding part 21 of the moving part 2 can be protruded or retracted relative to the device body 1. Functional elements 3 such as display screens, indicators and sensors can be integrated on the protruding part 21, and at least one sensing functional element 3 is arranged. When the protruding part 21 is protruded, these functional elements 3 are presented to facilitate the execution of corresponding functions. When the protruding part 21 is retracted, the functional elements 3 are stored to protect the functional elements 3, and the occupied area of ​​the electronic device can be reduced, which is convenient for storage or use in a narrow space. Users can adjust the electronic device to a suitable form according to their needs to enrich its application scenarios.

[0043] Specifically, the moving part 2 has a third surface 22. When the protruding portion 21 is extended, the portion of the third surface 22 corresponding to the protruding portion 21 is oriented in the same direction as the first surface 11, so that the protruding portion 21 and the device body 1 are converted into a form with a larger area, which can present more functional elements 3 to achieve more functions. When the protruding portion 21 is retracted, the portion of the third surface 22 corresponding to the protruding portion 21 is fitted with the second surface 12, thereby converting a form with a smaller area to cope with a variety of differentiated usage scenarios. Compared with the electronic device with a single form in the related art, the electronic device of the present application has a protruding portion 21 that can be extended and retracted, and the functional element 3 is integrated on the protruding portion 21, which can be conveniently used in scenarios with different requirements, thereby improving its adaptability and convenience.

[0044] It should be noted that there is relative movement between the moving part 2 and the device body 1. During use, the device body 1 can be fixed and the moving part 2 can move relative to the device body 1 to extend or retract the protruding part 21. Alternatively, the moving part 2 can be fixed and the device body 1 can move relative to the moving part 2 to extend or retract the protruding part 21. Regardless of the action mode, the device body 1 is used as the main structure, the moving part 2 is used as the auxiliary structure, and at least one sensing functional element is provided on the protruding part 21 of the moving part 2.

[0045] When the electronic device is in use, it has an up, down, left, and right orientation relative to the user. The present application does not limit the protruding direction of the protruding portion 21. For example, the moving part 2 can protrude on the upper side of the device body 1 relative to the user. For another example, the moving part 2 can protrude on the left side of the device body 1 relative to the user.

[0046] In addition, the protruding portion 21 can be set at one end of the moving part 2 along its moving direction, or can be set at both ends of the moving part 2 along its moving direction. When the protruding portions 21 are set at both ends of the moving part 2, different functional elements 3 can be set on each protruding portion 21. At this time, when the moving part 2 protrudes in different directions, the user can use different functions to achieve more diversified functions and stronger adaptability.

[0047] It should be noted that the present application does not limit the type of functional element 3. For example, functional element 3 may be an indicator, which may be a communication status indicator light, a temperature indicator of the device body 1, etc.; for another example, functional element 3 may be a sensor, which may be a distance sensor, a light sensor, a fingerprint sensor, an image sensor, etc.; for another example, functional element 3 may be a button, a data interface, an expansion slot, etc.

[0048] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3In a possible implementation of the present application, the sensing function element includes a camera 31, and the camera 31 can rotate relative to the protruding portion 21. The rotation of the camera 31 relative to the protruding portion 21 allows it to shoot in different directions while the device body 1 remains stationary, and the user can focus on the display screen and watch the pictures taken by the camera 31 in real time. In addition, the camera 31 can also realize the integration of front camera and rear camera by rotation, that is, the camera 31 is used as a front camera when it is facing the user, and is used as a rear camera when it is away from the user, so that one camera 31 can achieve multiple functions, reduce the number of cameras 31 on the electronic device, and ensure the uniform quality of the front camera and rear camera.

[0049] It should be noted that the present application does not limit the rotation form of the camera 31. For example, the rotation axis 32 of the camera 31 is arranged parallel to the movement direction of the moving part 2. In this way, the camera 31 is always parallel to the extension direction of the device body 1 during rotation and will not protrude from the device body 1. For another example, the rotation axis 32 of the camera 31 is parallel to the extension direction of the device body 1 and is arranged perpendicular to the movement direction of the moving part 2. In this way, the camera 31 forms an angle with the extension direction of the device body 1 during rotation, so that when different device bodies 1 are placed on the support surface at different inclination angles, the camera 31 is always facing the target position.

[0050] In addition, the camera 31 can be arranged to protrude relative to the protruding portion 21, or can be hidden in the protruding portion 21, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 In a possible implementation of the present application, a mounting notch 24 is provided on the protruding portion 21, and the camera 31 is rotatably connected to the mounting notch 24 via a rotating shaft 32, and the axis of the rotating shaft 32 is parallel to the extension direction of the device body 1 and perpendicular to the movement direction of the moving part 2. Specifically, the rotating shaft 32 is inserted into the camera 31 and the two are fixedly connected, and the two ends of the rotating shaft 32 extend into the moving part 2 and are rotatably connected to the moving part 2, wherein the rotating shaft 32 can be set in the middle of the mounting notch 24, or can be set at the edge of the protruding portion 21, and both methods can realize 360-degree rotation of the camera 31. By setting the mounting notch 24, the camera 31 can be hidden in the protruding portion 21, avoiding the camera 31 from occupying additional space.

[0051] The present application does not limit the shape of the camera 31 and the mounting notch 24, and the two have similar outlines, and the mounting notch 24 has a slightly larger outline size than the camera 31. The present application does not limit the type of the camera 31, and the camera 31 may have a wide-angle lens, a telephoto lens, a macro lens, etc., and may be provided with one or more lenses, and the camera 31 may be provided with components such as a flash.

[0052] In addition, the present application does not limit the rotation method of the camera 31. For example, the camera 31 is manually rotated by the user, which is intuitive and convenient to adjust. For another example, the camera 31 is fixed on the shaft 32, and the shaft 32 is driven by a rotating drive member. This method has high adjustment accuracy and can be adjusted through a program, which is more flexible.

[0053] The rotary drive member may be any device capable of outputting a rotary drive force, such as a motor, including a servo motor, a stepper motor, etc. The rotating shaft 32 may be directly connected to the output end of the rotary drive member, or may be connected via a transmission device, such as a coupling, a reducer, etc., which is not limited in the present application.

[0054] In order to facilitate the orientation fixation of the camera 31, for example, in a possible implementation of the present application, a damper is provided between the rotating shaft 32 and the moving part 2, and when the camera 31 is rotated to the target angle, the damping provided by the damper keeps the camera 31 at this angle.

[0055] It should be noted that the present application does not limit the functions of the first surface 11 and the second surface 12 on the device body 1 , and the first surface 11 and the second surface 12 may both have one or more of an input function, an output function, and a support function.

[0056] Optionally, the first surface 11 is a surface for interaction between the electronic device and the user, for example, the first surface 11 is a surface where a display screen is located; for another example, the first surface 11 is a surface where a keyboard is located, etc. The second surface 12 is a non-human-computer interaction surface of the electronic device, for example, the second surface 12 is used to be placed on a support surface; for another example, the second surface 12 has heat dissipation holes for ventilation and heat dissipation of the electronic device.

[0057] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 In a possible implementation of the present application, a first screen 13 is provided on the first surface 11 of the device body 1, and a second screen 33 is provided on the protruding portion 21. The first screen 13 and the second screen 33 are spliced ​​into an integral display area, wherein the second screen 33 is used to display additional information.

[0058] It should be noted that the overall display area means that the contents displayed on the first screen 13 and the second screen 33 can constitute a whole. For example, the first screen 13 is used as a main screen, and the second screen 33 is used as a sub-screen to display a status bar, etc.

[0059] Among them, additional information may include time, device power, network status, volume status, device temperature, chip performance indicators, status indications of various sensors, etc. Additional information may also be information commonly used by users such as memos and weather reminders.

[0060] In addition, the present application does not limit the shapes of the device body 1 and the moving part 2. For example, the device body 1 and the moving part 2 are both plate-shaped and the two are overlapped together; for another example, a groove-like structure is formed on the second surface 12 of the device body 1, and the contour of the moving part 2 is similar to the contour of the groove-like structure, and the moving part 2 is arranged in the groove-like structure.

[0061] Reference Figure 6 In a possible implementation of the present application, the device body 1 includes a base 14 and a mounting portion 15, and the size of the base 14 along the thickness direction is larger than the size of the mounting portion 15 along the thickness direction. The two parts make the second surface 12 present a stepped shape, the moving part 2 and the mounting portion 15 are stacked in the thickness direction, the moving part 2 includes a fourth surface 23 opposite to the third surface 22, and the fourth surface 23 and the part of the second surface 12 corresponding to the base 14 are flush, so that when the moving part 2 is in the extended or retracted state, the side of the electronic device relative to the first surface 11 is flat, which is convenient for it to be placed on the support surface.

[0062] It should be noted that the movement of the moving part 2 along the extension direction of the device body 1 only refers to its movement trend, but does not limit its movement mode. For example, the moving part 2 can be connected to the device body 1 by a pivot connection, and the movement trajectory of the moving part 2 is an arc trajectory, but it has a tendency to move along the extension direction of the device body 1.

[0063] In addition, in a possible implementation of the present application, the moving part 2 and the device body 1 are slidably connected. For example, a slide groove is provided on the device body 1, and a sliding part extending into the slide groove is provided on the moving part 2, and the moving part 2 slides in the slide groove through the sliding part.

[0064] It should be noted that the present application does not limit the driving method of the moving part 2. For example, the moving part 2 can be pushed and pulled manually by the user; for another example, a reciprocating driving part is provided on the device body 1, and the reciprocating driving part can be any device that can output linear drive, such as a linear motor, an electric telescopic rod, etc.

[0065] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 In a possible implementation of the present application, a traction member 4 is provided on the device body 1, and a traction member 5 is provided on the moving member 2. When the moving member 2 moves to a first position relative to the device body 1, the traction member 4 gives a driving force to the traction member 5, so that the moving member 2 continues to move to a second position relative to the device body 1.

[0066] The present application does not limit the forms of the traction member 4 and the traction member 5. By way of example, in a possible implementation of the present application, the traction member 4 and the traction member 5 are both made of magnetic materials, and the driving force is a magnetic adsorption force. When the moving member 2 moves to a first position relative to the device body 1, the traction member 4 applies a magnetic adsorption force to the traction member 5, so that the moving member 2 continues to move to a second position relative to the device body 1.

[0067] It should be noted that the present application does not limit the installation positions of the traction member 4 and the traction member 5. Figure 7 In a possible implementation of the present application, the traction member 4 and the pulled member 5 are arranged in sequence along the moving direction of the moving member 2, and the two are on the same axis. When the pulled member 5 approaches the traction member 4, the two are magnetically attracted, and the pulled member 5 is adsorbed and moves toward the traction member 4, thereby driving the moving member 2 to move; or the two are magnetically repelled, and the traction member 4 pushes the pulled member 5 away, so that the pulled member 5 drives the moving member 2 to move.

[0068] Reference Figure 8 In another possible implementation of the present application, the traction member 4 and the pulled member 5 are arranged in sequence along the thickness direction of the electronic device. When the moving member 2 moves to the first position relative to the device body 1, the traction member 4 and the pulled member 5 are relatively misaligned. Under the action of the magnetic force, the two have a tendency to align with each other, so that the pulled member 5 drives the moving member 2 to move during the alignment with the traction member 4. The magnetic drive structure is simple, does not require energy supply, and is more energy-saving and environmentally friendly.

[0069] Among them, magnetic material refers to any material that can respond magnetically to a magnetic field, such as a permanent magnet, iron, etc. No additional energy is required, and the user only needs to provide initial power to make the traction member 4 and the traction member 5 enter the interaction range; in addition, the traction member 4 and the traction member 5 can also be set as electromagnets, the magnetism of the electromagnets is controllable and can be controlled by a program, making the driving method of the moving part 2 more intelligent.

[0070] Due to the rapid movement of the moving part 2 when pulled by magnetic force, although the operating feel is improved, it is easy to cause impact. For example, in a possible implementation of the present application, the moving part 2 is provided with a buffer structure such as a spring and a rubber pad on the side along its movement direction to reduce the impact.

[0071] On this basis, the moving part 2 has a variety of possible movement modes. Optionally, in a possible implementation of the present application, the electronic device has a first state, a second state and a third state.

[0072] Reference Fig. 9When the electronic device is in the first state, the moving member 2 is in the initial position, that is, the moving member 2 is in the retracted state, and the protruding portion 21 does not protrude relative to the device body 1. At this time, the moving member 2 can be manually pushed to the first position by the user; Fig.10 When the electronic device is in the second state, the moving member 2 moves to the first position relative to the device body 1, the protruding portion 21 does not protrude relative to the device body 1 or the protruding portion 21 partially protrudes relative to the device body 1, and the moving member 2 can be driven by the traction member 4 and the traction member 5 to continue to move to the second position; Fig.11 When the electronic device is in the third state, the moving part 2 moves to the second position relative to the device body 1, and the protruding portion 21 is completely protruded relative to the device body 1.

[0073] Among them, when the moving part 2 moves from the initial position to the first position, it is displaced a first distance along the extension direction parallel to the device body 1, and when the moving part 2 moves from the first position to the second position, it is displaced a second distance along the extension direction parallel to the device body 1. Optionally, in a possible implementation method of the present application, the first distance is 4 mm and the second distance is 7.6 mm.

[0074] In order to further improve the scene adaptability of the electronic device of this application, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In a possible implementation of the present application, the electronic device further includes a support member 6, which is connected to the moving member 2 and the device body 1 through a flip mechanism 7; when the moving member 2 protrudes relative to the device body 1, the support member 6 flips from a first angle to a second angle relative to the device body 1; wherein, when the support member 6 is at the first angle, the extension direction of the support member 6 and the device body 1 are parallel; when the support member 6 is at the second angle, the extension direction of the support member 6 and the device body 1 form an angle to support the device body 1. The setting of the support member 6 allows the electronic device to be tilted relative to the supporting surface, so that the electronic device can present different angle states, thereby facilitating the use of the user under different needs.

[0075] It should be noted that the present application does not limit the shape and installation position of the support member 6. For example, the support member 6 is strip-shaped and is disposed on the side of the device body 1 relative to the second surface 12. For another example, the support member 6 is plate-shaped and is disposed on the position of the second surface 12 corresponding to the base 14.

[0076] When the support member 6 is plate-shaped and disposed on the second surface 12, in order to ensure uniform thickness of the electronic device, refer to Fig.12 The support member 6 and the base 14 are stacked in the thickness direction, the stacking thickness of the support member 6 and the base 14 is a first thickness, the stacking thickness of the moving member 2 and the mounting portion 15 is a second thickness, and the first thickness and the second thickness are substantially consistent.

[0077] On this basis, in order to reduce the dust and the like from falling into the gap between the moving part 2 and the base 14, refer to Fig.12 In a possible implementation of the present application, a receiving groove 27 having the same thickness as the support member 6 is provided on the side of the moving member 2 close to the support member 6. When the support member 6 is at a first angle, the support member 6 extends into the receiving groove 27 and abuts against the moving member 2, and the end face of the support member 6 and the end face of the receiving groove 27 are both inclined surfaces to avoid interference between the support member 6 and the moving member 2 during rotation.

[0078] Reference Fig. 9 , Fig.10 and Fig.11 In a possible implementation of the present application, the flip mechanism 7 includes a first connecting rod 71 and a second connecting rod 72, the middle parts of the first connecting rod 71 and the second connecting rod 72 are hingedly arranged, the first end of the first connecting rod 71 is hinged to the device body 1, the second end of the first connecting rod 71 slides against the support member 6, the first end of the second connecting rod 72 is hinged to the support member 6, and the second end of the second connecting rod 72 slides against the moving member 2; when the moving member 2 protrudes relative to the device body 1, the second end of the second connecting rod 72 is pulled by the moving member 2 to make the two move synchronously.

[0079] The hinge position of the first link 71 and the second link 72 should be as close as possible to the first end of the second link 72, so that when the second end of the second link 72 is pulled, the first end of the second link 72 can drive the support member 6 to rotate at a greater angular velocity.

[0080] It should be noted that the connection between the flip mechanism 7 and other components can be a direct connection or a connection through an intermediate piece, see Fig.13 and Fig.14 In a possible implementation of the present application, the flip mechanism 7 also includes a first connecting member 73 and a second connecting member 74. The first connecting member 73 is fixed to the device body 1 by fasteners such as screws. The first end of the first connecting rod 71 is hinged to the first connecting member 73, which is equivalent to the first end of the first connecting member 73 being hinged to the device body 1; the second connecting member 74 is fixed to the support member 6 by fasteners such as screws. One end of the second connecting member 74 is hinged to the first end of the second connecting rod 72, which is equivalent to the first end of the second connecting rod 72 being hinged to the support member 6. The other end of the second connecting member 74 is provided with a limiting groove 75, and the second end of the first connecting rod 71 slides against the limiting groove 75. The moving member 2 includes a connecting portion 25, and the connecting portion 25 and the body of the moving member 2 are fixed by screws, etc. The connecting portion 25 extends into the base 14 of the device body 1 and is slidably connected to the device body 1. The groove body 26 is provided on the connecting portion 25, and the corresponding traction member 5 can also be arranged in the connecting portion 25.

[0081] In addition, there can be one or more flipping mechanisms 7 and support members 6. For example, there can be one flipping mechanism 7 and multiple support members 6, and the multiple support members 6 are arranged in sequence along the axial direction of the hinge shaft of the flipping mechanism 7; for another example, there can be multiple flipping mechanisms 7 and multiple support members 6, and the multiple flipping mechanisms 7 correspond to the multiple support members 6 one by one; for another example, there can be one support member 6 and two flipping mechanisms 7, and the two flipping mechanisms 7 are distributed on both sides of the support member 6.

[0082] Since the support member 6 is driven by the moving member 2, the number of the two forms is the same. In order to further increase the form of the support member 6, refer to Fig.11 and Fig.15 In a possible implementation of the present application, a groove 26 is provided on the moving part 2, and the second end of the second connecting rod 72 slides against the groove 26. When the second end of the second connecting rod 72 moves in the groove 26 along the extending movement direction of the moving part 2, the support member 6 flips from the second angle to the third angle relative to the device body 1, and the third angle is greater than the second angle.

[0083] On this basis, the electronic device also has a fourth state.

[0084] Reference Fig. 9 When the electronic device is in the first state, the moving member 2 is at the initial position, the protruding portion 21 does not protrude relative to the device body 1, the support member 6 is at the first angle, and the extension directions of the support member 6 and the device body 1 are parallel. At this time, the moving member 2 can be manually pushed to the first position by the user, and the moving member 2 can drive the support member 6 to rotate from the first angle to the transition angle;

[0085] Reference Fig.10 When the electronic device is in the second state, the moving part 2 moves to the first position relative to the device body 1, the protruding portion 21 does not protrude relative to the device body 1 or the protruding portion 21 partially protrudes relative to the device body 1, the supporting member 6 flips to the transition angle relative to the device body 1, the traction member 4 and the traction member 5 can drive the moving member 2 to continue to move from the first position to the second position, and the moving member 2 can drive the supporting member 6 to rotate from the transition angle to the second angle;

[0086] Reference Fig.11 When the electronic device is in the third state, the moving part 2 moves to the third position relative to the device body 1, the protruding portion 21 is completely protruded relative to the device body 1, the moving part 2 cannot continue to move along the protruding movement direction, the support member 6 is at a second angle relative to the device body 1, and the second angle is greater than the transition angle, and the second end of the second connecting rod 72 can continue to move in the groove 26 of the moving part 2 along the protruding movement direction of the moving part 2 to drive the support member 6 to rotate from the second angle to the third angle.

[0087] Reference Fig.15When the electronic device is in the fourth state, the moving part 2 is still in the third position, the protruding portion 21 is completely protruded relative to the device body 1, and the supporting member 6 is at a third angle relative to the device body 1.

[0088] It should be noted that the present application does not limit the numerical values ​​of the first angle, the transition angle, the second angle and the third angle, which can be any value between 0 and 360°. For example, in a possible implementation of the present application, when the support member 6 is at the first angle, it is opened to 0 degrees relative to the device body 1; when the support member 6 is at the transition angle, it is opened to 23° relative to the device body 1; when the support member 6 is at the second angle, it is opened to 45° relative to the device body 1; when the support member 6 is at the third angle, it is opened to 128° relative to the device body 1, wherein the support member 6 at the second angle and the third angle is used to support the device body 1.

[0089] On this basis, there are many ways to change the form of the electronic device of the present application. For example, in a possible implementation of the present application, the first screen 13 faces the user, and the protruding side of the protruding portion 21 is taken as the upper side.

[0090] Reference Fig.16 When the electronic device is unfolded, the user holds the electronic device in the first state with his hand, and the thumb is placed on the first surface 11, and the other four fingers are placed on the fourth surface 23. The thumb applies a downward force to the device body 1, that is, along the Fig.16 The other four fingers exert a force upward on the moving part 2, that is, along the Fig.16 In the second state, the pulling member 4 and the pulled member 5 interact with each other to transform the electronic device into the third state, in which the moving member 2 cannot continue to move in the extended direction; at this time, the user can manually apply force to the support member 6 or the flip mechanism 7 to transform the electronic device into the fourth state. When the electronic device is folded, the user can manually apply force to the support member 6, the moving member 2 or the flip mechanism 7 to transform the electronic device from the fourth state to the first state in sequence.
