[0040] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. The embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary. Figures 1-11 An imaging apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described. The imaging apparatus 100 includes: a housing 10, a display assembly 50, a folding mechanism 30, and a driving mechanism 40. The housing 10 has a length direction A, a width direction B, and a height direction C.

[0041] Specifically, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the housing 10 includes a first housing 11 and a second housing 12, which define a mounting cavity 13. The display component 50 is disposed in the mounting cavity 13, with one end of the display component 50 pivotally connected to the first housing 11. The folding mechanism 30 is disposed in the mounting cavity 13 and includes a moving component 31 and a sliding component 32. The sliding component 32 is connected to the second housing 12, and the other end of the display component 50 is pivotally connected to the sliding component 32. The sliding component 32 is movable along the width direction B of the housing 10. The moving component 31 is connected to the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 and is movable along the height direction C of the housing 10. The driving mechanism 40 is disposed in the mounting cavity 13, connected to the folding mechanism 30, and electrically connected to the display component 50.

[0042] For example, the housing 10 has two states: unfolded and folded. When the housing 10 changes from the unfolded state to the folded state, the drive mechanism 40 rotates clockwise, causing the sliding component 32 to slide along the width direction B of the housing 10 away from the drive mechanism 40. At the same time, the display component 50 gradually becomes more horizontal. The sliding component 32 drives the moving component 31 to move. Under the action of the sliding component 32, the moving component 31 moves towards the second housing 12. Since the moving component 31 connects both the first housing 11 and the second housing 12, the movement of the moving component 31 can achieve the movement of the first housing 11 towards the second housing 12, thus folding the housing 10. The display component 50 can be folded simultaneously with the folding of the housing 10. When the housing 10 changes from a folded state to an unfolded state, the drive mechanism 40 reverses and drives the sliding component 32 to slide along the width direction B of the housing 10 toward the drive mechanism 40. Under the action of the sliding component 32, the moving component 31 moves away from the second housing 12 and drives the display component 50 connected to it to move, changing the angle between the display component 50 and the second housing 12. This allows the first housing 11 to move along the height direction C of the housing 10 toward the direction away from the second housing 12, thus unfolding the housing 10.

[0043] According to the imaging device 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application, the folding mechanism 30 and the driving mechanism 40 are arranged, so that the folding mechanism 30 can automatically realize the unfolding and folding of the shell 10 under the action of the driving mechanism 40, the volume of the imaging device 100 is variable, the volume of the product is reduced without affecting the function, the carrying is facilitated, the cost of packaging and transportation is reduced, and the use experience of the user is increased. Meanwhile, the angle of the display assembly 50 is adjustable, so as to provide a more convenient viewing angle for the user and facilitate the user to watch.

[0044] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 The moving assembly 31 comprises a first support 311, a first connecting piece 312, and a second connecting piece 313. The first support 311 is connected with the first shell 11. One end of the first connecting piece 312 is pivotally connected with the first support 311. One end of the second connecting piece 313 is connected with the sliding assembly 32. The other end of the second connecting piece 313 is movably and rotatably matched with the other end of the first connecting piece 312. The sliding assembly 32 drives the first connecting piece 312 to rotate through the second connecting piece 313. For example, when the shell 10 is converted from the unfolded state to the folded state, the sliding assembly 32 moves towards the direction away from the driving mechanism 40 under the action of the driving mechanism 40. The second connecting piece 313 pivotally connected with the sliding assembly 32 rotates counterclockwise, and simultaneously drives the first connecting piece 312 to rotate clockwise. Meanwhile, the second connecting piece 313 slides relative to the first connecting piece 312 while rotating with each other, that is, the rotation center of the first connecting piece 312 and the second connecting piece 313 changes, so that the second connecting piece 313 can drive the first connecting piece 312 to rotate and realize the movement of the first support 311 towards the second shell 12. Therefore, the arrangement of the first support 311 can facilitate the first connecting piece 312 to drive the first shell 11 to move towards the second shell 12 while rotating. The first connecting piece 312 and the second connecting piece 313 are movably and rotatably matched, which facilitates the folding of the shell 10, reduces the volume of the structure for realizing the folding of the shell 10, is beneficial to the miniaturization and thinning design of the imaging device 100, facilitates the carrying, and enables the imaging device 100 to be applied in more occasions.

[0045] Optionally, as shown in 2, the other end of the first connecting piece 312 is provided with a first sliding groove 3121, and the other end of the second connecting piece 313 is movably and rotatably matched in the first sliding groove 3121. For example, the other end of the second connecting piece 313, i.e., the end matched with the first connecting piece 312, is provided with a connecting shaft, the connecting shaft is arranged on the side of the second connecting piece 313 adjacent to the first connecting piece 312, and the connecting shaft is matched in the first sliding groove 3121. While the first connecting piece 312 and the second connecting piece 313 rotate relative to each other, the connecting shaft can move along the first sliding groove 3121. The first sliding groove 3121 can be a waist-shaped hole, and the connecting shaft can move from one end of the waist-shaped hole to the other end. Thus, by providing the first sliding groove 3121 on the first connecting piece 312, the movement of the second connecting piece 313 inside the first connecting piece 312 can be realized while the first connecting piece 312 and the second connecting piece 313 are rotatably connected, and the space required for folding the first connecting piece 312 and the second connecting piece 313 can be reduced, so that the imaging device 100 is more portable and smaller in size, facilitating transportation and reducing transportation cost.

[0046] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the first connecting piece 312 and one of the second housings 12 are provided with a pivot hole, and the other of the first connecting piece 312 and the second housing 12 is provided with a pivot shaft 3122, and the pivot hole and the pivot shaft 3122 are matched. For example, the second housing 12 is provided with the pivot shaft 3122, the pivot shaft 3122 is detachably connected with the second housing 12, the first connecting piece 312 is provided with the pivot hole, the pivot hole is matched with the pivot shaft 3122, and when the first connecting piece 312 is installed, the pivot shaft 3122 passes through the pivot hole to realize the installation of the first connecting piece 312 and the second housing 12. When the second connecting piece 313 drives the first connecting piece 312 to rotate, the first connecting piece 312 rotates around the central axis of the pivot shaft 3122. Thus, the provision of the pivot hole and the pivot shaft 3122 can facilitate the installation of the first connecting piece 312 and the second housing 12, facilitate the rotation of the first connecting piece 312 relative to the second housing 12, and realize the limiting of the first connecting piece 312, so that the first connecting piece 312, the second connecting piece 313, and the second housing 12 rotate according to the preset trajectory, thereby accurately realizing the movement of the first housing 11 to the second housing 12 to realize the folding and unfolding of the imaging device 100.

[0047] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5The moving assembly 31 comprises a second support 314, a third support 315, a third connecting piece 316, and a fourth connecting piece 317. The second support 314 is connected with the first shell 11. The third support 315 is connected with the second shell 12. One end of the third connecting piece 316 is pivotally connected with the second support 314. The other end of the third connecting piece 316 is movably and rotatably connected with the third support 315. One end of the fourth connecting piece 317 is pivotally connected with the third support 315. The other end of the fourth connecting piece 317 is movably and rotatably connected with the second support 314. The fourth connecting piece 317 is rotatably connected with the third connecting piece 316.

[0048] In the embodiment, the second support 314 and the third support 315 are fixedly connected with the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 respectively. One end of the third connecting piece 316 is pivotally connected with the second support 314 adjacent to one end of the driving mechanism 40. The other end of the third connecting piece 316 is connected with the third support 315 away from the driving mechanism 40, and the other end of the third connecting piece 316 is movable relative to the third support 315. One end of the fourth connecting piece 317 is pivotally connected with the third support 315 adjacent to one end of the driving mechanism 40. The other end of the fourth connecting piece 317 is connected with the second support 314 away from the driving mechanism 40, and the other end of the fourth connecting piece 317 is movable relative to the second support 314. When the third connecting piece 316 moves along the width direction B of the shell 10 away from the driving mechanism 40, and the fourth connecting piece 317 moves along the width direction B of the shell 10 away from the driving mechanism 40, the second support 314 and the third support 315 move toward each other. That is, under the driving of the driving mechanism 40, when the other ends of the third connecting piece 316 and the fourth connecting piece 317 move away from the driving mechanism 40, the second support 314 and the third support 315 drive the first shell 11 to move toward the second shell 12 under the action of the third connecting piece 316 and the fourth connecting piece 317, so as to fold the shell 10 and reduce the volume of the imaging device 100. The third connecting piece 316 and the fourth connecting piece 317 have a scissor structure.

[0049] Therefore, the second support 314, the third support 315, the third connecting piece 316, and the fourth connecting piece 317 can facilitate folding of the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 connected with the second support 314 and the third support 315, facilitate carrying, and have a relatively simple structure for folding and unfolding the shell 10 and have high stability, so that the first shell 11 has higher precision when moving toward the second shell 12.

[0050] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the second support member 314 is provided with a second sliding groove 3141 extending along the width direction B of the shell 10, and the other end of the fourth connecting member 317 is movably and rotatably fitted in the second sliding groove 3141. The third support member 315 is provided with a third sliding groove 3151 extending along the width direction B of the shell 10, and the other end of the third connecting member 316 is movably and rotatably fitted in the third sliding groove 3151. That is, the other end of the third connecting member 316 is fitted with the third sliding groove 3151, and when the shell 10 is transformed between the unfolded state and the folded state, the third connecting member 316 moves in the third sliding groove 3151 along the width direction B of the shell 10, and at the same time, the third connecting member 316 rotates relative to the third sliding groove 3151, so that the second support member 314 and the third support member 315 can be close to each other to realize the folding of the first shell 11 and the second shell 12, or move in the direction away from each other to realize the unfolding of the first shell 11 and the second shell 12. Therefore, the arrangement of the second sliding groove 3141 and the third sliding groove 3151 can facilitate the movement of the third connecting member 316 and the fourth connecting member 317 along the width direction B of the shell 10, increase the guiding property of the movement of the third connecting member 316 and the fourth connecting member 317, and facilitate the folding of the first shell 11 and the second shell 12.

[0051] In some embodiments, in conjunction with Figure 2 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6The sliding assembly 32 comprises a slide rail 321 and a slide block 322. The slide rail 321 is arranged on the second housing 12 and extends along the width direction B of the housing 10. The slide block 322 is movably connected with the slide rail 321. An end of the slide block 322 away from the second housing 12 is pivotally connected with the moving assembly 31. The other end of the display assembly 50 is pivotally connected with the slide block 322. The slide block 322 is arranged on the slide rail 321 along the width direction B of the housing 10 and moves along the slide rail 321. The slide block 322 is pivotally connected with the end of the display assembly 50 adjacent to the second housing 12. Meanwhile, the slide block 322 is pivotally connected with the end of the moving assembly 31 adjacent to the second housing 12. The slide block 322 slides along the slide rail 321 to drive the display assembly 50 and the moving assembly 31 to change between the folded position and the unfolded position. For example, when the slide block 322 moves along the width direction B of the housing 10 away from the driving mechanism 40, the end of the display assembly 50 adjacent to the second housing 12 moves along the width direction B of the housing 10 away from the driving mechanism 40. The end of the display assembly 50 adjacent to the first housing 11 moves along the height direction C of the housing 10 towards the second housing 12, so as to fold the display assembly 50. Meanwhile, when the slide block 322 moves, the moving assembly 31 is folded to move the first housing 11 towards the second housing 12 to fold the housing 10. Thus, the slide block 322 and the slide rail 321 can convert the force output by the driving mechanism 40 along the width direction B of the housing 10 into the circumferential force around the rotation of the slide block 322, so as to rotate the connecting member connected with the slide block 322 and the display assembly 50 to fold the housing 10 and the display assembly 50. The sliding assembly 32 and the moving assembly 31 for folding can reduce the occupation of the internal space of the housing 10.

[0052] Specifically, when the moving assembly 31 is provided with the first connecting member 312 and the second connecting member 313, the second connecting member 313 is pivotally connected to the slider 322 away from the end adjacent to the second housing 12, and as the slider 322 moves along the slide rail 321 towards the direction away from the driving mechanism 40, the second connecting member 313 drives the first connecting member 312 to rotate clockwise, and drives the first housing 11 to move towards the second housing 12. At this time, the moving assembly 31 further comprises a moving block 318, which is arranged on the first supporting member 311 and moves along the width direction B of the housing 10 on the first supporting member 311, the moving block 318 is pivotally connected to the first connecting member 312 and slidingly connected to the first supporting member 311, and the moving block 318 drives the first housing 11 to move towards or away from the second housing 12 during the movement. When the moving assembly 31 comprises the third connecting member 316 and the fourth connecting member 317, the slider 322 moves along the slide rail 321 in the width direction B of the housing 10, the sliding assembly 32 is arranged on one side of the third supporting member 315 in the center of the housing 10, and the driving mechanism 40 is pivotally connected to the third connecting member 316 at one end in the length direction A of the housing 10, at the same time, the said end of the driving mechanism 40 is connected to the slider 322 to drive the slider 322 to move. For example, when the housing 10 changes from the unfolded state to the folded state, the slider 322 moves towards the direction away from the driving mechanism 40, the end of the display assembly 50 adjacent to the second housing 12 is pivotally connected to the slider 322, which realizes the folding of the display assembly 50, and at the same time, the synchronous folding of the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 is realized through the movement of the third connecting member 316 and the fourth connecting member 317.

[0053] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the driving mechanism 40 comprises a driver 41 and a moving bracket 42, the driver 41 is arranged in the mounting cavity 13, the moving bracket 42 comprises a connecting part 421 and a matching part 422, the matching part 422 is connected with the driver 41, the connecting part 421 is connected at the end of the matching part 422, the connecting part 421 is connected with the sliding assembly 32, and the moving bracket 42 is configured to move towards or away from the driver 41 along the central axis direction of the output shaft of the driver 41. The matching part 422 is connected with the connecting part 421, when the moving bracket 42 comprises the first connecting piece 312 and the second connecting piece 313, the connecting part 421 is connected with the sliding block 322 at both ends along the length direction A of the shell 10, and the sliding block 322 is pushed to move on the slide rail 321 to realize the folding and unfolding of the display assembly 50 and the moving bracket 42. When the moving bracket 42 comprises the third connecting piece 316 and the fourth connecting piece 317, both ends of the connecting part 421 are arranged between the third supporting piece 315 and the sliding block 322, the connecting part 421, the third connecting piece 316 and the third supporting piece 315 are pivotally connected, and the third connecting piece 316 is driven to move relative to the third supporting piece 315 along with the movement of the connecting part 421 in the width direction B of the shell 10 to realize the folding of the first shell 11. Meanwhile, the end of the connecting part 421 is provided with a connecting rod 43, one end of the connecting rod 43 is fixedly connected with the connecting part 421, and the other end of the connecting rod 43 is connected with the sliding block 322 to drive the sliding block 322 to move along the slide rail 321 to realize the folding of the display assembly 50.

[0054] Therefore, the arrangement of the driver 41 and the moving bracket 42 can convert the rotation of the driver 41 into movement in the width direction B of the shell 10, so that the moving bracket 42 can drive the sliding block 322 connected thereto to move in the width direction B of the shell 10 to realize the folding of the display assembly 50, and the moving assembly 31 can be folded to drive the first shell 11 to move towards and away from the second shell 12 to realize the folding of the shell 10.

[0055] Further, with reference to Figure 2 and Figure 4The first housing 11 has a transparent portion opposite to the display assembly 50. A flat lens 20 is provided on the side of the first housing 11 adjacent to the mounting cavity 13. Light emitted from the display 51 is reflected by the flat lens 20, forming a floating real image 80 on the side of the flat lens 20 away from the display 51. The first housing 11 includes a body 112 and a cover plate 111. The flat lens 20 is disposed inside the body 112. The cover plate 111 is provided on the surface of the flat lens 20 away from the display 51. The cover plate 111 has a transparent portion at least in the area opposite to the flat lens 20, so that light emitted from the display 51 can be emitted from the transparent portion. When the housing 10 is in the unfolded state, the display assembly 50 is tilted inside the housing 10 at an angle of 45°. Light emitted from the display 51 is directed towards the flat lens 20, and after reflection by the flat lens 20, a floating real image 80 is formed on the side of the flat lens 20 away from the display 51. The floating real image 80 and the display 51 are symmetrically distributed about the flat lens 20 in the height direction C of the housing 10. Therefore, the first housing 11 has a transparent part, which allows the flat lens 20 to reflect the content displayed on the display 51 onto the outside of the housing 10 to form a floating real image 80. The user can operate the floating real image 80 to control the imaging device 100, realizing non-contact control between the user and the imaging device 100, effectively reducing the risk of cross-infection and improving the safety of using the imaging device 100.

[0056] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the imaging device 100 also includes a human-computer interaction module 70, which is located at one end of the display 51 adjacent to the first housing 11. The human-computer interaction module 70 is electrically connected to the controller 53. The first housing 11 has a mounting slot, and the human-computer interaction module 70 is located in the mounting slot. For example, the human-computer interaction module 70 can emit infrared light towards the area where the floating image 80 is located. When the user touches the floating image 80, the human-computer interaction module 70 receives the corresponding control signal and transmits it to the controller 53. After processing and analysis by the controller 53, it controls the display 51 to display the corresponding content. The area of ​​the cover plate 111 opposite to the human-computer interaction module 70 is transparent to allow light to pass through. Therefore, the human-computer interaction module 70 facilitates contactless interactive control of the imaging device 100, increases the user's enjoyment of operating the imaging device 100, avoids user contact with the imaging device 100, and improves user safety.

[0057] Optionally, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5The imaging device 100 comprises a plurality of telescopic members 60, which are arranged along the circumference of the housing 10. The telescopic member 60 comprises a first telescopic rod and a second telescopic rod. One end of the first telescopic rod is connected to the first housing 11, and one end of the second telescopic rod is connected to the second housing 12. The other end of the first telescopic rod and the other end of the second telescopic rod are movably connected along the height direction C of the housing 10. The telescopic member 60 can be a hydraulic rod. Thus, the plurality of telescopic members 60 can facilitate increasing the support between the first housing 11 and the second housing 12, improving the structural strength of the housing 10, increasing the guiding property of the movement of the first housing 11 relative to the second housing 12, and increasing the service life of the imaging device 100.

[0058] According to some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 7-11 The flat lens 20 comprises two groups of light waveguide arrays 21, each of which is composed of single-column multi-row sub-waveguides 213 with a rectangular cross section. The two groups of light waveguide arrays 21 include a first light waveguide array 211 and a second light waveguide array 212. The sub-waveguides 213 of the first light waveguide array 211 extend along the X direction and form multiple rows along the Y direction. The sub-waveguides 213 of the second light waveguide array 212 extend along the Y direction and form multiple rows along the X direction. The first light waveguide array 211 and the second light waveguide array 212 are arranged along the Z direction. The X direction, the Y direction, and the Z direction are perpendicular to each other. The flat lens 20 has a central normal line that passes through the center of the flat lens 20 and is parallel to the Z direction. The opposite sides of the flat lens 20 along the thickness direction are the image source side and the floating real image 80 side, respectively.

[0059] Here, the extension direction of the sub-waveguide 213 is the length direction of the sub-waveguide 213. The length direction of a single sub-waveguide 213 of the first light waveguide array 211 is the Y direction. The multiple sub-waveguides 213 of the first light waveguide array 211 are closely and superimposed arranged along the Y direction. The width direction of a single sub-waveguide 213 is the Y direction. The length direction of a single sub-waveguide 213 of the second light waveguide array 212 is the Y direction. The multiple sub-waveguides 213 of the second light waveguide array 212 are closely and superimposed arranged along the X direction. The width direction of a single sub-waveguide 213 is the X direction. The two groups of light waveguide arrays 21 are flat. The arrangement direction of the first light waveguide array 211 to the second light waveguide array 212 is the Z direction, which is also the thickness direction of the flat lens 20. It should be noted that in the first light waveguide array 211 and the second light waveguide array 212, the first light waveguide array 211 can be arranged adjacent to the image source side, or the second light waveguide array 212 can be arranged adjacent to the image source side, which is not limited here. Here, the first light waveguide array 211 is located on the image source side, and the second light waveguide array 212 is located on the floating real image 80 side. The length directions of the two layers of sub-waveguides 213 are perpendicular to each other, so the two groups of light waveguide arrays 21 are in a mutually orthogonal relationship.

[0060] The two groups of optical waveguide arrays 21 are perpendicular to each other in the arrangement direction, and can modulate the image on the display 51. The light rays in any direction on the display 51 are re-converged to form a floating real image 80 on the other side of the flat lens 20 (the side opposite to the display 51 with respect to the flat lens 20) when passing through the two groups of optical waveguide arrays 21 perpendicular to each other. The imaging distance of the floating real image 80 is the same as the distance from the image source to the flat lens 20, and the floating real image 80 is formed in equidistance imaging without any medium carrier, and can be directly presented in the air. At the same time, the two groups of optical waveguide arrays 21 arranged in this way can reduce the difficulty of manufacturing the optical waveguide, and make the floating real image 80 real and high in definition.

[0061] Therefore, by arranging the two groups of optical waveguide arrays 21 perpendicular to each other, stray light can be effectively removed, so that the light rays on the image source side of the flat lens 20 can be clearly and one-to-one converged on the floating real image 80 side, so that the floating real image 80 formed is higher in definition and restoration, and the imaging is more real.

[0062] In combination with Figure 7 and Figure 9 , the flat lens 20 can be provided with a protective film 22 on each side along the thickness direction, and the protective film 22 can be attached to the outer surface of the flat lens 20. For example, the protective film 22 can be an anti-reflection film coated on the outer surface of the first optical waveguide array 211 and the second optical waveguide array 212 away from each other along the thickness direction of the flat lens 20, or the protective film 22 can be a moth-eye film forming a gradual refractive index between the air and the outer surface of the flat lens 20. Therefore, by arranging the protective film 22 on the surface of the optical waveguide array 21 of the flat lens 20 along the thickness direction of the flat lens, the possibility of forming interference light by reflecting the light emitted by the display 51 on the surface of the flat lens 20 can be reduced, the definition of the floating real image 80 formed can be increased, the protection of the flat lens 20 can be increased, and the service life of the flat lens 20 can be increased.
