[0036] The example embodiments will be described in detail herein with reference to 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 example embodiments described in the following examples do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. Instead, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0037] The screen folding, camera pop-up and other functions of electronic devices such as mobile phones need to be achieved by pop-up devices for pop-up and retraction operations. In the related art, the pop-up device involving a transmission mechanism such as a lead screw needs to occupy more assembly space due to the size, material and other structural properties of the transmission structure, and in order to ensure the displacement accuracy of the pop-up device, the machining accuracy of the transmission mechanism is required to be high, thereby affecting the thinness and functional stability of the electronic device.

[0038] The present disclosure provides a pop-up mechanism for an electronic device. Figure 1 is a perspective structural schematic diagram of a pop-up mechanism according to an example embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 1 The bidirectional arrow in represents the moving direction of the moving fitting. As shown in Figure 1 The pop-up mechanism 1 includes a driving assembly 11 and a fixed fitting 12. The driving assembly 11 includes a driving motor 111, a rotating structure 112, a transmission member 113 and a moving fitting 114, and the rotating structure 112 is in transmission connection with the driving motor 111. The transmission member 113 includes a flexible portion 1131 and a displacement portion 1132 connected with the flexible portion 1131, and the flexible portion 1131 is in winding cooperation with the rotating structure 112 to pull the displacement portion 1132 to move. The moving fitting 114 is arranged on the displacement portion 1132, and the moving fitting 114 is in locking cooperation or pop-up cooperation with the fixed fitting 12 with the movement of the displacement portion 1132.

[0039] Since the transmission member 113 comprises the flexible portion 1131, the flexible portion 1131 is wound on the rotating structure 112, the length of the wound portion of the flexible portion 1131 changes with the rotation of the rotating structure 112 to cooperate with the pulling displacement portion 1132 to drive the moving cooperation member 114 arranged on the displacement portion 1132 to complete the locking cooperation or the pop-up cooperation with the fixed cooperation member 12. The transmission mode of the flexible portion 1131 and the rotating structure 112 is realized by the curling or stretching of the flexible portion 1131, which reduces the precision requirement and the space occupation of the transmission structure, and improves the thinness and working stability of the pop-up mechanism 1. In some embodiments, the rotating structure 112 is provided with a rolling groove 1121, and at least a part of the flexible portion 1131 is accommodated in the rolling groove 1121. At least a part of the flexible portion 1131 is wound in the rolling groove 1121, and the flexible portion 1131 is limited by the structure of the rolling groove 1121, which improves the winding stability of the flexible portion 1131, avoids the displacement of the flexible portion 1131 during winding to affect the displacement precision of the displacement portion 1132, and further ensures the pop-up and locking functions of the pop-up mechanism 1. The rolling groove 1121 can be arranged in a spiral shape on the rotating structure 112 to facilitate the cooperation of the flexible portion 1131 and the rolling groove 1121.

[0040] In the above embodiment, the driving assembly 11 can further comprise a driven structure 117. The rotating structure 112 and the driven structure 117 can be located at both ends of the displacement portion 1132, the two ends of the transmission member 113 are fixedly connected with the rotating structure 112, the transmission member 113 comprises two flexible portions 1131, the two flexible portions 1131 are wound and cooperated with the rotating structure 112 and the driven structure 117 respectively, and the displacement portion 1132 is arranged between the two flexible portions 1131. Since the two ends of the transmission member 113 are fixedly connected with the rotating structure 112, when the driving motor 111 drives the rotating structure 112 to rotate, the flexible portion 1131 wound on the rotating structure 112 is curled or stretched with the rotation of the rotating structure 112, and the flexible portion 1131 wound on the driven structure 117 is also curled or stretched, thereby driving the displacement portion 1132 to move.

[0041] It should be noted that the positions of the flexible portion 1131 and the displacement portion 1132 mentioned herein are not absolute concepts, but relative concepts, that is, the division limit of the flexible portion 1131 and the displacement portion 1132 changes in the rotating process with the change of the length of the winding on the rotating structure 112, that is, the part of the transmission member 113 wound on the rotating structure 112 is the flexible portion 1131, and the part not wound on the rotating structure 112 is the displacement portion 1132.

[0042] The driving structure 117 can also be provided with a winding groove 1171, and at least a part of the flexible part 1131 is accommodated in the winding groove 1171. At least a part of the flexible part 1131 is wound in the winding groove 1171, and the flexible part 1131 is limited by the structure of the winding groove 1171, which improves the winding stability of the flexible part 1131, avoids the displacement of the flexible part 1131 during winding, and affects the displacement accuracy of the displacement part 1132, thereby ensuring the unfolding and locking functions of the unfolding mechanism 1. The winding groove 1171 can be provided in a spiral shape on the driving structure 117, so as to facilitate the cooperation between the flexible part 1131 and the winding groove 1171.

[0043] It should be noted that the transmission member 113 can be a flexible wire body. The material of the transmission member 113 can be metal materials such as iron and copper, or other materials, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0044] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 1 , Figure 2 The dotted line in the above represents the driving shaft direction X of the driving motor, and the solid double arrow represents the moving direction of the displacement part 1132. The driving shaft of the driving motor 111 can be perpendicular to the movement direction Y of the displacement part 1132, and the displacement part 1132 generates movement in the direction perpendicular to the driving shaft, which optimizes the structural layout of the unfolding mechanism 1 and reduces the space occupation of the unfolding mechanism 1 in the extension direction of the driving shaft. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the driving shaft of the driving motor 111 can also have a preset inclination angle with the movement direction of the displacement part 1132. The above preset inclination angle can be set according to the specific assembly space shape of the unfolding mechanism 1, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0045] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 2 The double-headed arrow in the above represents the moving direction of the moving cooperation member 114. The unfolding mechanism 1 can also include a bracket 115 provided with a mounting part 118, and the driving motor 111 and the mounting part 118 are arranged on the same side of the bracket 115. The mounting part 118 is used to realize the assembly cooperation with the device body of the electronic device 2, and the mounting part 118 can be a lug provided on the bracket 115, and the lug is provided with an assembly hole structure. When the unfolding mechanism 1 is assembled on the device body, the assembly of the unfolding mechanism 1 can be realized by cooperating with the assembly hole through structures such as screws and bolts. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the mounting part 118 can also be a clamping structure, a threaded connection structure or other connection structures, and the present disclosure does not limit the specific structure of the mounting part 118.

[0046] In some embodiments, the drive assembly 11 may further include a slide rod 116, and the movable mating member 114 includes a slider 1141 connected to the displacement portion 1132, the slider 1141 being slidably engaged with the slide rod 116. The engagement of the slider 1141 connected to the displacement portion 1132 with the slide rod 116 of the drive assembly 11 not only guides the movement of the movable mating member 114 but also improves the stability of the movement of the movable mating member 114. In one embodiment, as... Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the spring-opening mechanism 1 may include a bracket 115, and a slide rod 116 may be disposed at the bottom of the bracket 115. Both ends of the slide rod 116 can be suspended at the bottom of the bracket 115 via a support structure disposed on the bracket 115, facilitating the assembly and engagement of the slider 1141 and the slide rod 116. The bottom of the slider 1141 is slidably connected to the slide rod 116, and the top of the slider 1141 is fixedly connected to the displacement part 1132. When the drive motor 111 drives the rotating structure 112 to rotate, the flexible part 1131 of the transmission member 113 is wound and engaged with the rotating structure 112, pulling the displacement part 1132 to move. The slider 1141, connected to the displacement part 1132, slides relative to the slide rod 116, thereby causing the moving mating member 114 to move.

[0047] In the above embodiments, the movable mating component 114 may further include a receiving groove 1142, which is connected to the slider 1141. When the slider 1141 moves relative to the slide rod 116, the receiving groove 1142 moves accordingly. The receiving groove 1142 can be used to place magnetic components, snap-fit ​​structures, locking structures, etc., and the magnetic components, snap-fit ​​structures, or locking structures within the receiving groove 1142 can lock or spring-load into the corresponding structures of the fixed mating component 12. It should be noted that there may be one, two, or more slide rods 116, and this disclosure does not limit this. When there are two slide rods 116, the cooperation between the slider 1141 and the slide rods 116 can improve the sliding stability of the slider 1141 and save structural space.

[0048] The receiving groove 1142 can be located on one side of the bracket 115 and outside the bracket 115 to avoid structural and functional interference between the receiving groove 1142 and the magnetic components, snap-fit ​​structures, locking structures, etc. within the receiving groove 1142 and other structures of the drive assembly 11. For example, in one embodiment, the bracket 115 is provided with a mounting part 118, the drive motor 111 and the mounting part 118 are disposed on one side of the bracket 115, and the receiving groove 1142 can be located on the other side of the bracket 115 opposite to the mounting part 118. The above structural arrangement can not only avoid structural interference between the receiving groove 1142 and other structures of the drive assembly 11, but also optimize the overall layout of the drive assembly 11 and reduce space occupation.

[0049] It should be noted that the fixed mating part 12 and the movable mating part 114 can achieve locking and spring-loaded engagement through snap-fitting, magnetic attraction, or other means, and this disclosure does not limit this. The following example illustrates the structure of the spring-loaded mechanism 1 using the magnetic attraction between the fixed mating part 12 and the movable mating part 114 as an example:

[0050] In some embodiments, the fixed mating member 12 may include at least one first magnetic element 122, and the movable mating member 114 may include at least one second magnetic element 1143. When the working magnetic poles of the first magnetic element 122 and the second magnetic element 1143 are different, the fixed mating member 12 and the movable mating member are locked together. When the working magnetic poles of the first magnetic element 122 and the second magnetic element 1143 are the same, the fixed mating member 12 and the movable mating member are spring-loaded apart. The working magnetic pole of the first magnetic element 122 can refer to the pole of the first magnetic element 122 facing the second magnetic element 1143 when the first magnetic element 122 is mated with the second magnetic element 1143; similarly, the working magnetic pole of the second magnetic element 1143 can refer to the pole of the second magnetic element 1143 facing the first magnetic element 122 when the first magnetic element 122 is mated with the second magnetic element 1143.

[0051] For example, the fixed mating member 12 may include a plurality of first magnetic elements 122, the working magnetic poles of the plurality of first magnetic elements 122 being arranged alternately. And / or, the movable mating member 114 includes a plurality of second magnetic elements 1143, the working magnetic poles of the plurality of second magnetic elements 1143 being arranged alternately.

[0052] It should be noted that the first magnetic element 122 and the second magnetic element 1143 can be permanent magnets including N poles and S poles, or electromagnets including N poles and S poles. This disclosure does not limit them in this way.

[0053] In such Figure 4 In the embodiment shown, Figure 4 The double-headed arrows indicate the direction of movement of the movable mating member 114. The fixed mating member 12 may include six first magnetic elements 122, with their working magnetic poles arranged alternately. The movable mating member 114 includes six second magnetic elements 1143, with their working magnetic poles arranged alternately. The drive assembly 11 is disposed on one spring-loaded body of the electronic device 2, and the fixed mating member 12 is disposed on the other spring-loaded body of the electronic device 2. The movable mating member 114 includes a receiving groove 1142 connected to the slider 1141. The fixed mating member 12 also includes a receiving groove 121 disposed on the spring-loaded body. The first magnetic elements 122 are disposed in the receiving groove 121 of the fixed mating member 12, and the second magnetic elements 1143 are disposed in the receiving groove 1142 of the movable mating member 114.

[0054] When the mobile fitting part 114 and the fixed fitting part 12 are switched from the locked state to the pop-open state, the driving motor 111 drives the rotating structure 112 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise, the flexible part 1131 of the transmission part 113 is wound with the rotating structure 112, and the displacement part 1132 is pulled to move, the sliding block 1141 connected with the displacement part 1132 slides relative to the slide rod 116, and then drives the accommodating groove 1142 of the mobile fitting part 114 to move. The six second magnetic parts 1143 in the accommodating groove 1142 move relative to the support 115, and the working magnetic poles of the second magnetic parts 1143 and the working magnetic poles of the first magnetic parts 122 are switched from different to same, and the mobile fitting part 114 and the fixed fitting part 12 are switched from the locked state to the pop-open state.

[0055] Similarly, when the mobile fitting part 114 and the fixed fitting part 12 are switched from the pop-open state to the locked state, the driving motor 111 drives the rotating structure 112 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise, the flexible part 1131 of the transmission part 113 is wound with the rotating structure 112, and the displacement part 1132 is pulled to move, the sliding block 1141 connected with the displacement part 1132 slides relative to the slide rod 116, and then drives the accommodating groove 1142 of the mobile fitting part 114 to move. The six second magnetic parts 1143 in the accommodating groove 1142 move relative to the support 115, and the working magnetic poles of the second magnetic parts 1143 and the working magnetic poles of the first magnetic parts 122 are switched from same to different, and the mobile fitting part 114 and the fixed fitting part 12 are switched from the pop-open state to the locked state.

[0056] By providing the fixed fitting part 12 with the first magnetic parts 122 with multiple working magnetic poles arranged alternately, and / or providing the mobile fitting part 114 with the second magnetic parts 1143 with multiple working magnetic poles arranged alternately, the rotating structure 112 can realize the switching of the locked state and the pop-open state of the fixed fitting part 12 and the mobile fitting part 114 when continuously rotating clockwise or counterclockwise, which improves the working reliability and control convenience of the pop-open mechanism 1. That is, when the driving motor 111 drives the rotating structure 112 to switch to the locked state by clockwise rotation, the rotating structure 112 can be continuously driven clockwise to switch the fixed fitting part 12 and the mobile fitting part 114 from the locked state to the pop-open state.

[0057] Alternatively, the fixed fitting part 12 is provided with a plurality of first magnetic parts 122 with working magnetic poles arranged alternately, and / or the mobile fitting part 114 is provided with a plurality of second magnetic parts 1143 with working magnetic poles arranged alternately, so that the rotating structure 112 can realize the switching between the locking fitting and the pop-up fitting of the fixed fitting part 12 and the mobile fitting part 114 when rotating clockwise or counterclockwise, improving the working reliability and the cycle control convenience of the pop-up mechanism 1. That is, when the driving motor 111 drives the rotating structure 112 to switch to the locking state through clockwise rotation, and the slider 1141 moves to the limit position or the flexible part 1131 is wound to the limit position, the rotating structure 112 can be driven counterclockwise to switch the fixed fitting part 12 and the mobile fitting part 114 from the locking fitting to the pop-up fitting, thereby realizing the cycle control of the pop-up mechanism 1.

[0058] In the above embodiment, since the transmission part 113 of the driving assembly 11 includes the flexible part 1131, the flexible part 1131 is wound on the rotating structure 112, and the length of the wound part of the flexible part 1131 changes through the rotation of the rotating structure 112 to cooperate with the movement of the displacement part 1132, thereby driving the mobile fitting part 114 arranged on the displacement part 1132 to complete the locking fitting or the pop-up fitting with the fixed fitting part 12. The transmission mode of the above-mentioned flexible part 1131 and the rotating structure 112 is realized through the curling or stretching of the flexible part 1131, which reduces the precision requirement and the space occupation of the transmission structure, and improves the thinness and working stability of the pop-up mechanism 1.

[0059] The present disclosure further proposes an electronic device, which comprises a first pop-up body, a second pop-up body, and the above-mentioned pop-up mechanism 1, and the first pop-up body and the second pop-up body are movably connected. The fixed fitting part 12 is arranged on one of the first pop-up body and the second pop-up body, and the driving assembly 11 is arranged on the other of the first pop-up body and the second pop-up body.

[0060] It should be noted that the fixed fitting part 12 can be arranged at the corner region, the edge region, or other positions of the first pop-up body or the second pop-up body, or the fixed fitting part 12 can also be arranged at other positions of the first pop-up body or the second pop-up body according to the structural distribution of the first pop-up body and the second pop-up body, and the present disclosure does not limit this. The driving assembly 11 can be arranged at the corner region, the edge region, or other positions of the first pop-up body or the second pop-up body, or the driving assembly 11 can also be arranged at other positions of the first pop-up body or the second pop-up body according to the structural distribution of the first pop-up body and the second pop-up body, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0061] When the first and second pop-open bodies need to be popped open, the moving fitting part 114 can be controlled to move to the position of pop-open cooperation with the fixed fitting part 12; when the first and second pop-open bodies need to be locked, the moving fitting part 114 can be controlled to move to the position of locking cooperation with the fixed fitting part 12. Since the transmission part 113 comprises the flexible part 1131, the displacement part 1132 is pulled to move by the winding cooperation of the flexible part 1131 and the rotating structure 112, so as to drive the moving fitting part 114 arranged on the displacement part 1132 to complete the locking cooperation or the pop-open cooperation with the fixed fitting part 12. The transmission mode of the flexible part 1131 and the rotating structure 112 is realized by the curling or stretching of the flexible part 1131, which reduces the precision requirement and the space occupation of the transmission structure, and improves the thinness and the working stability of the pop-open mechanism 1 and the electronic device 2 using the pop-open mechanism 1.

[0062] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 5 , the first pop-open body can comprise a first device body 21, and the second pop-open body can comprise a second device body 22. The electronic device 2 comprises the first device body 21 and the second device body 22. The first device body 21 and the second device body 22 comprise a folding cooperation state and an unfolding cooperation state, Figure 5 The bidirectional arrow in the figure represents the pop-open direction of the first device body 21 and the second device body 22. When the first device body 21 and the second device body 22 are in the folding cooperation state, the fixed fitting part 12 and the moving fitting part 114 are in locking cooperation; when the first device body 21 and the second device body 22 are in the unfolding cooperation state, the fixed fitting part 12 and the moving fitting part 114 are in pop-open cooperation. The folding and the pop-open operation of the foldable electronic device 2 are realized by the pop-open mechanism 1, which reduces the occupation of the pop-open mechanism 1 to the internal space of the electronic device 2, and improves the thinness and the working stability of the electronic device 2.

[0063] In another embodiment, as shown in Figure 6 , Figure 6The solid double-headed arrows in the diagram represent the pop-up and retraction directions of the camera module 32. The electronic device 3 includes a device body 31 and a camera module 32. The first pop-up body may include the device body 31, and the second pop-up body may include the camera module 32. The relative positional relationship between the device body 31 and the camera module 32 includes a retracted state and a pop-up state. When the device body 31 and the camera module 32 are in the retracted state, the fixed fitting 12 and the movable fitting 114 are locked together; when the device body 31 and the camera module 32 are in the pop-up state, the fixed fitting 12 and the movable fitting 114 in the drive assembly 11 are popped apart. The pop-up mechanism 1 achieves the pop-up and retraction operation of the pop-up camera, reducing the space occupied by the pop-up mechanism 1 within the electronic device 2 and improving the thinness and operational stability of the electronic device 2.

[0064] When the camera module 32 switches from the retracted state to the pop-out state, the drive motor 111 drives the rotating structure 112 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise. The flexible part 1131 of the transmission member 113 is wound and engaged with the rotating structure 112, and pulls the displacement part 1132 to move the moving mating member 114. In some embodiments, the moving mating member 114 may include a slider 1141 connected to the displacement part 1132 and a receiving groove 1142 connected to the slider 1141.

The second magnetic element 1143, located in the receiving groove 1142, moves relative to the bracket 115 with the slider 1141. Figure 6 As shown, the second magnetic component 1143 can move along the direction of the dotted double arrow. The working magnetic pole of the second magnetic component 1143 moves from being opposite to being the same as the working magnetic pole of the first magnetic component 122. The moving mating component 114 and the fixed mating component 12 spring open, and the camera module 32 pops out from any side of the electronic device 3 along the length or width direction of the electronic device 3. The working magnetic pole of the second magnetic component 1143 moves from being the same to being opposite to the working magnetic pole of the first magnetic component 122. The moving mating component 114 and the fixed mating component 12 lock in place, and the camera module 32 retracts from any side of the electronic device 3 along the length or width direction of the electronic device 3.

[0067] In such Figure 7 In the embodiment shown, Figure 7 The solid double-headed arrows in the diagram represent the pop-out and retraction directions of the camera module 32. The camera module 32 can pop out along the thickness direction of the electronic device 3. Taking the pop-out and retraction of the camera module 32 through the attraction of a magnetic component as an example, a second magnetic component 1143 is provided in the receiving groove 1142, and a first magnetic component 122 is provided in the receiving groove 121 of the fixed fitting component 12. The second magnetic component 1143 located in the receiving groove 1142 moves relative to the bracket 115 with the slider 1141. Figure 7 As shown, the second magnetic component 1143 can move along the direction of the dotted double arrow. The working magnetic pole of the second magnetic component 1143 moves from being opposite to being the same as the working magnetic pole of the first magnetic component 122. The moving mating component 114 and the fixed mating component 12 spring open, and the camera module 32 pops out from the front or back of the electronic device 3 along the thickness direction of the electronic device 3. The working magnetic pole of the second magnetic component 1143 moves from being the same to being opposite to the working magnetic pole of the first magnetic component 122. The moving mating component 114 and the fixed mating component 12 lock in place, and the camera module 32 retracts from the front or back of the electronic device 3 along the thickness direction of the electronic device 3.

[0068] exist Figure 8 In the embodiment shown, Figure 8 The solid double-headed arrows in the diagram represent the pop-out and retraction directions of the camera module 32. The camera module 32 can pop out along the length or width of the electronic device 3. The camera module 32 can be directly connected to the slider 1141, and the camera module 32 moves relative to the bracket 115 with the slider 1141. Figure 8As shown, the moving fitting 114 can move in the direction of the dotted double-headed arrow, and drive the camera module 32 to retract or pop out in the length or width direction of the electronic device 3.

[0069] In the above embodiment, since the transmission member 113 of the pop-up mechanism 1 includes the flexible part 1131, the displacement part 1132 is pulled to move by the winding cooperation of the flexible part 1131 and the rotating structure 112, so as to drive the moving fitting 114 arranged on the displacement part 1132 to complete the locking cooperation or pop-up cooperation with the fixed fitting 12. The transmission mode of the flexible part 1131 and the rotating structure 112 is realized by the curling or stretching of the flexible part 1131, which reduces the precision requirement and space occupation of the transmission structure, and improves the thinness and working stability of the pop-up mechanism 1 and the electronic device 2 using the pop-up mechanism 1.
