Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of electronic equipment technology, and more particularly to an electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of consumer electronics, people are becoming increasingly enthusiastic about electronic devices with variable screen sizes. The thickness of foldable electronic devices after folding increases the difficulty of portability, holding comfort, and rear camera design.

[0003] Because folded electronic devices are already quite thick, and the target audience for foldable devices demands high-quality images from the camera, it's difficult to reduce the camera's height. To maintain high image quality, the camera's height cannot be reduced. Further attempts to make the device thinner and lighter result in a significant camera bump, leading to a less aesthetically pleasing appearance. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention discloses an electronic device to solve the problem in related technologies where the thickness of the camera causes the electronic device to form a high bulge when folded, thus affecting its appearance.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention is implemented as follows:

[0006] This application discloses an electronic device, including a first housing, a second housing, a flexible display screen, and a camera module, wherein:

[0007] The first housing and the second housing are movably connected. The first end of the flexible display screen is connected to the first housing. The second end of the flexible display screen extends into the interior of the second housing and is movably connected to the second housing. The camera module is movably disposed in the second housing. The electronic device has an unfolded state and a folded state.

[0008] When the electronic device is in the folded state, the second end of the flexible display screen moves to a position to avoid the camera module, and at least a portion of the camera module moves into the interior of the second housing;

[0009] When the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the second end of the flexible display screen moves below the camera module, and at least part of the camera module extends out of the second housing.

[0010] The electronic device disclosed in this application utilizes the characteristic that the second end of the flexible display screen can move within the second housing when the electronic device switches between a folded state and an unfolded state. In the unfolded state, the second end of the flexible display screen can move below the camera module, with at least a portion of the camera module extending beyond the second housing, thereby facilitating photography by the electronic device. In the folded state, the second end of the flexible display screen moves to a position that avoids the camera module, with at least a portion of the camera module moving inside the second housing, thereby reducing the height of the camera module protruding from the second housing and facilitating a thinner design for the electronic device in the folded state.

[0011] In the unfolded state, at least a portion of the camera module moves outside the second housing, leaving space below the camera module. This allows the second end of the flexible display to extend below the camera module, fully utilizing the space beneath it. In the folded state, the second end of the flexible display moves to a position that avoids the camera module, allowing at least a portion of the camera module to move downwards into the interior of the second housing. Through the switching between the folded and unfolded states, the linkage between the second end of the flexible display and the camera module fully utilizes the space below the camera module. This allows for a thinner electronic device in the folded state and reduces the space occupied internally, facilitating the arrangement of other components. Attached Figure Description

[0033] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0034] The technical solutions disclosed in the various embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0035] Please refer to Figures 1 to 11 This invention discloses an electronic device, which may be a mobile phone, tablet, game console, etc. The disclosed electronic device includes a first housing 100, a second housing 200, a flexible display screen 300, and a camera module 400.

[0036] The first housing 100 and the second housing 200 can provide a mounting base for other components of the electronic device, and the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 are movably connected. The first housing 100 and the second housing 200 can be rotatably connected or slidably connected, etc. When the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 are rotatably connected, they can be connected by a rotating shaft 930.

[0037] The first end of the flexible display screen 300 is connected to the first housing 100. The first end of the flexible display screen 300 can be fixedly connected to the first housing 100, or it can be connected in other ways. The second end of the flexible display screen 300 extends into the interior of the second housing 200 and is movably connected to the second housing 200. The second end of the flexible display screen 300 can be movably connected to the second housing 200 through an elastic component 910, an elastic component fixing block 920, or a driving component. For example, the elastic component fixing block 920 is disposed in the second housing 200, and the elastic component 910 is connected between the elastic component fixing block 920 and the second end of the flexible display screen 300.

[0038] The camera module 400 is movably disposed within the second housing 200, and the electronic device has an unfolded state and a folded state. Specifically, the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 can rotate relative to each other to switch the electronic device between the unfolded state and the folded state. When the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 rotate relative to each other, the second end of the flexible display screen 300 will move within the second housing 200 to accommodate the change in the area of ​​the flexible display screen 300 located outside the electronic device when switching between the unfolded state and the folded state.

[0039] When the electronic device is in a folded state, the second end of the flexible display screen 300 moves to a position that avoids the camera module 400, and at least a portion of the camera module 400 moves into the interior of the second housing 200. For example, during the folding process, a portion of the second end of the flexible display screen 300 moves outside the second housing 200 and to the side of the camera module 400. The second end of the flexible display screen 300 and the camera module 400 can be arranged side-by-side along the length of the electronic device. When the electronic device is in an unfolded state, a portion of the second end of the flexible display screen 300 moves below the camera module 400. The second end of the flexible display screen 300 can be stacked with the camera module 400 in the thickness direction of the electronic device, and at least a portion of the camera module 400 extends outside the second housing 200.

[0040] The electronic device disclosed in this application utilizes the characteristic that the second end of the flexible display screen 300 can move within the second housing 200 when the electronic device switches between a folded state and an unfolded state. In the unfolded state, the second end of the flexible display screen 300 can move below the camera module 400, with at least a portion of the camera module 400 extending beyond the second housing 200, thus facilitating photography. In the folded state, the second end of the flexible display screen 300 moves to a position that avoids the camera module 400, and at least a portion of the camera module 400 moves inside the second housing 200, thereby reducing the height of the camera module 400 protruding from the second housing 200. This facilitates a thinner design for the electronic device in the folded state, thus solving the problem in related technologies where the camera's large thickness causes a significant bulge in the folded state, affecting the device's appearance.

[0041] When the electronic device is in the unfolded state, at least a portion of the camera module 400 moves outside the second housing 200, leaving space below the camera module 400. This allows the second end of the flexible display screen 300 to extend below the camera module 400, fully utilizing the space below the camera module 400. When the electronic device is in the folded state, the second end of the flexible display screen 300 moves to a position that avoids the camera module 400, allowing at least a portion of the camera module 400 to move downwards into the interior of the electronic device. Through the switching between the folded and unfolded states, the linkage between the second end of the flexible display screen 300 and the camera module 400 fully utilizes the space below the camera module 400, enabling a thinner electronic device in the folded state and reducing the space occupied inside the device, thus facilitating the arrangement of other components.

[0042] To protect the camera module 400 in non-shooting mode, optionally, when the electronic device is in a folded state, the first housing 100 may be opposite to the camera module 400, and the first housing 100 may cover the camera module 400. The camera module 400 may be located between the first housing 100 and the second housing 200. This embodiment of the application, by positioning the camera module 400 between the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 when the electronic device is in a folded state, allows the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 to protect the camera module 400.

[0043] To facilitate the movement of the camera module 400, the electronic device may optionally include a support member 500 and a transmission mechanism 600. The second end of the flexible display screen 300 can be connected to the transmission mechanism 600, and the support member 500 can be connected to the transmission mechanism 600. When the electronic device is in a folded state, the second end of the flexible display screen 300 can drive the support member 500 to move to a position avoiding the camera module 400 via the transmission mechanism 600, so that at least a portion of the camera module 400 moves into the interior of the second housing 200. Specifically, during the folding process, the second end of the flexible display screen 300 can apply a pulling force to the transmission mechanism 600, thereby allowing the second end of the flexible display screen 300 to drive the support member 500 to a position avoiding the camera module 400 via the transmission mechanism 600.

[0044] When the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the transmission mechanism 600 can move the support member 500 below the camera module 400, so that at least a portion of the camera module 400 extends beyond the second housing 200. Specifically, the transmission mechanism 600 may include an elastic drive member. During the folding process of the electronic device, the elastic drive member can undergo elastic deformation. During the unfolding process of the electronic device, the elastic force of the elastic drive member can drive the support member 500 to move below the camera module 400. Of course, the transmission mechanism 600 may also include a drive member, which can drive the support member 500 to move below the camera module 400. Other methods can also be used to move the support member 500 below the camera module 400, which will not be elaborated here.

[0045] This embodiment of the application configures the electronic device to include a support member 500 and a transmission mechanism 600. During the folding process, the electronic device can fully utilize the movement characteristic of the second end of the flexible display screen 300, so that the second end of the flexible display screen 300 can drive the transmission mechanism 600 to move. This allows the transmission mechanism 600 to move the support member 500 to a position that avoids the camera module 400, so that at least a part of the camera module 400 can move into the interior of the second housing 200. This eliminates the need for a separate drive member, thereby saving space in the electronic device to facilitate the placement of other components.

[0046] Optionally, the support member 500 may include a first guide ramp 510, and the camera module 400 may include a guide portion 410, which may include a second guide ramp 411. When the electronic device is in a folded state, the support member 500 can be moved to a position to avoid the camera module 400 by the guiding engagement of the first guide ramp 510 and the second guide ramp 411. When the electronic device is in an unfolded state, the support member 500 can be moved below the camera module 400 by the guiding engagement of the first guide ramp 510 and the second guide ramp 411.

[0047] In this embodiment, a first guide slope 510 is provided on the support member 500, and a second guide slope 411 is provided on the guide portion 410 of the camera module 400. This allows the support member 500 to move to a position that avoids the camera module 400 or to move below the camera module 400 through the guiding cooperation of the first guide slope 510 and the second guide slope 411, thereby making the cooperation between the support member 500 and the camera module 400 more stable.

[0048] In some embodiments, there are two support members 500, and the transmission mechanism 600 may include a transmission member 610, a first hinge 620, and a second hinge 630. The first hinge 620 and the second hinge 630 may intersect and be rotatably connected. The first hinge 620 and the second hinge 630 may be respectively connected to the support member 500, and the transmission member 610 may be connected between the connection point of the first hinge 620 and the second hinge 630 and the second end of the flexible display screen 300. When the electronic device is in a folded state, the second end of the flexible display screen 300 can drive the first hinge 620 and the second hinge 630 to rotate around the rotatable connection point through the transmission member 610, so that the first hinge 620 and the second hinge 630 drive the support member 500 to a position that avoids the camera module 400. When the electronic device is in an unfolded state, the transmission member 610 can drive the first hinge 620 and the second hinge 630 to rotate, so that the first hinge 620 and the second hinge 630 respectively drive the support member 500 to move below the camera module 400.

[0049] By configuring the transmission mechanism 600 to include a transmission member 610, a first hinge rod 620, and a second hinge rod 630, the transmission member 610 can drive the first hinge rod 620 and the second hinge rod 630 to rotate, thereby causing the first hinge rod 620 and the second hinge rod 630 to drive the support member 500 to move, thus making the structure of the transmission mechanism 600 relatively simple.

[0050] Optionally, the transmission mechanism 600 may include a transmission member 610, a first hinge 620, a second hinge 630, a third hinge 640, and a fourth hinge 650. The first end of the first hinge 620 may be hinged to the first end of the second hinge 630. The transmission member 610 may be connected between the hinge point of the first end of the first hinge 620 and the first end of the second hinge 630 and the second end of the flexible display screen 300. The middle portion of the third hinge 640 and the middle portion of the fourth hinge 650 are hinged, and the hinge point of the middle portion of the third hinge 640 and the middle portion of the fourth hinge 650 may be rotatably connected to the second housing 200. The first end of the third hinge 640 may be connected to the second end of the first hinge 620, and the first end of the fourth hinge 650 may be connected to the second end of the second hinge 630. One of the support members 500 can be connected between the middle of the third hinge 640 and its second end, and another support member 500 can be connected between the middle of the fourth hinge 650 and its second end. When the electronic device is in a folded state, the second end of the flexible display screen 300 can drive the transmission member 610 to move towards the side where the two support members 500 are located, so that the third hinge 640 and the fourth hinge 650 can respectively drive their corresponding connected support members 500 to a position that avoids the camera module 400. When the electronic device is in an unfolded state, the transmission member 610 can move to a position away from the two support members 500, so that the third hinge 640 and the fourth hinge 650 can respectively drive their corresponding connected support members 500 to move below the camera module 400.

[0051] The electronic device disclosed in this application configures the transmission mechanism 600 to include a transmission member 610, a first hinge 620, a second hinge 630, a third hinge 640, and a fourth hinge 650, such that the third hinge 640 and the fourth hinge 650 can be hinged together, and the hinge joint between the third hinge 640 and the fourth hinge 650 is connected to the second housing 200, thereby facilitating the concentration of the transmission member 610, the first hinge 620, the second hinge 630, the third hinge 640, and the fourth hinge 650 together.

[0052] Optionally, the transmission mechanism 600 may further include a first slide rail 660 and two slide rods 670, wherein the first slide rail 660 may be disposed in the second housing 200. A second slide rail 680 may be provided between the middle part of the third hinge rod 640 and the second end of the third hinge rod 640, and a second slide rail 680 may also be provided between the middle part of the fourth hinge rod 650 and the second end of the fourth hinge rod 650. Two support members 500 can be connected to two sliding rods 670 respectively. The first end of the sliding rod 670 can be slidably connected to the first slide rail 660, and the second end of the two sliding rods 670 can be slidably connected to the second slide rail 680 of the third hinge rod 640 and the second slide rail 680 of the fourth hinge rod 650 respectively. The transmission member 610 can drive the third hinge rod 640 and the fourth hinge rod 650 to rotate through the first hinge rod 620 and the second hinge rod 630, so as to drive the two sliding rods 670 to slide along the first slide rail 660 and the second slide rail 680, so that the two sliding rods 670 can drive the two support members 500 to move to a position to avoid the camera module 400 or to move below the camera module 400.

[0053] The electronic device disclosed in this application discloses a transmission mechanism 600 comprising a first slide rail 660 and a slide rod 670. The first slide rail 660 may be disposed in the second housing 200. A second slide rail 680 is provided between the middle of the third hinge rod 640 and the second end of the third hinge rod 640, and a second slide rail 680 is provided between the middle of the fourth hinge rod 650 and the second end of the fourth hinge rod 650. This allows the two ends of the slide rod 670 to slide and engage with the first slide rail 660 and the second slide rail 680 respectively. This allows the slide rod 670 to drive the support member 500 to move to a position that avoids the camera module 400 or to move below the camera module 400. Because the slide rod 670, the first slide rail 660, and the second slide rail 680 are in sliding engagement, the movement of the support member 500 driven by the slide rod 670 is smoother.

[0054] In an optional embodiment, the electronic device may further include an elastic element 700, which may be connected between the camera module 400 and the second housing 200. When the electronic device is in a folded state, the elastic element 700 can drive at least a portion of the camera module 400 to move into the interior of the second housing 200 through its elastic restoring force. When the electronic device is in an unfolded state, the camera module 400 can compress the elastic element 700. Specifically, during the unfolding process of the electronic device, at least a portion of the camera module 400 can extend beyond the second housing 200, and the movement of the camera module 400 can compress the elastic element 700, thus placing the elastic element 700 in a compressed state. During the folding process of the electronic device, the camera module 400 can be driven by the elastic force of the elastic element 700 to move at least a portion of the camera module 400 into the second housing 200, so that at least a portion of the camera module 400 can automatically move into the second housing 200 during the folding process of the electronic device.

[0055] Optionally, in an embodiment where the camera module 400 includes a guide portion 410, the guide portion 410 may have a groove, one end of the elastic member 700 may be connected to the bottom wall of the groove, and the other end of the elastic member 700 may be connected to the second housing 200, so that the groove can limit the elastic member 700 during the deformation process, and can make full use of the existing structure of the guide portion 410.

[0056] In some embodiments, the electronic device may include a drive mechanism 800, which may be disposed in the second housing 200 and connected to the camera module 400. The drive mechanism 800 is used to drive at least a portion of the camera module 400 to move into the interior of the second housing 200, or to drive at least a portion of the camera module 400 to extend outside the second housing 200. By employing the drive mechanism 800 to drive at least a portion of the camera module 400 to move into the interior of the second housing 200, or to drive at least a portion of the camera module 400 to extend outside the second housing 200, the embodiments of this application make the movement of the camera module 400 more convenient and the structure simpler.

[0057] The drive mechanism 800 can be a pneumatic drive mechanism, a hydraulic drive mechanism, etc. There are no specific restrictions on the drive mechanism 800 here.

[0058] Specifically, the drive mechanism 800 may include a drive motor 810, a rotating shaft 820, and a rotating shaft seat 830. The rotating shaft seat 830 may be connected to the second housing 200, and the drive motor 810 may be connected to the camera module 400. The output shaft of the drive motor 810 may be connected to the rotating shaft 820. The rotating shaft seat 830 may have a threaded hole, and the rotating shaft 820 may have an external thread. The rotating shaft 820 may pass through the threaded hole and be threadedly engaged with the rotating shaft seat 830. The drive motor 810 may drive the rotating shaft 820 to rotate relative to the rotating shaft seat 830 to move at least a portion of the camera module 400 into the interior of the second housing 200, or to drive at least a portion of the camera module 400 to extend outside the second housing 200.

[0059] The electronic device disclosed in this application embodiment is equipped with a specific drive mechanism 800, which is connected to the second housing 200 through a rotating shaft seat 830. The rotating shaft seat 830 is threadedly engaged with the rotating shaft 820. The drive motor 810 is connected to the rotating shaft 820 and the camera module 400, so that the drive motor 810 drives the camera module 400 to move through the threaded engagement between the rotating shaft 820 and the rotating shaft seat 830, thereby making the movement of the camera module 400 more stable.

[0060] Optionally, when the electronic device is in a folded state, the flexible display screen 300 can be located on opposite sides of the first housing 100 and the second housing 200. When the electronic device is in an unfolded state, the flexible display screen 300 can be located on the same plane. This embodiment of the application avoids the problem of damage to the flexible display screen 300 when the camera module 400 is stuck and not inserted into the second housing 200 in the folded state.

[0061] The above embodiments of the present invention focus on describing the differences between the various embodiments. As long as the different optimization features between the various embodiments are not contradictory, they can be combined to form a better embodiment. For the sake of brevity, they will not be described in detail here.

[0062] The embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. The specific embodiments described above are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Those skilled in the art can make many other forms under the guidance of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the claims, and all of these forms are within the protection scope of the present invention.
