[0002] With the rapid development of science and technology, electronic devices such as mobile phones and tablet computers have become an indispensable part of people's lives. In particular, electronic devices with shooting functions are widely favored by users. As people's life needs continue to change, people have higher and higher requirements for the functions and performance of cameras. In order to improve the performance of cameras and make the functions of cameras more powerful, the size of cameras needs to be made larger, which will cause the appearance of electronic devices to be seriously bulged and easy to be damaged, and greatly affect the exquisiteness of the appearance of electronic devices.

[0003] In the prior art, in order to solve the problem of serious protrusions on the appearance of electronic devices, the camera is set into a lifting structure. When shooting, the camera extends from the electronic device to increase the optically available space of the camera and achieve high-quality shooting; when shooting is not needed, the camera retracts into the inside of the electronic device to avoid the camera protruding from the electronic device and affecting the appearance of the electronic device. However, the lifting camera in the prior art has certain design defects. In particular, when the camera is impacted by external force, the impact force will directly act on the camera module and the lifting mechanism, which will cause irreversible damage such as fracture of the camera module and the lifting mechanism, resulting in the lifting of the lifting camera stuck or stuck, and the reliability is poor and the life is short, which limits the application and development of the lifting camera. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present application provides a camera device and an electronic device, which can buffer the external force impact on the camera, thereby avoiding damage to the camera device and playing a protective role for the camera device and the electronic device.

[0006] The camera device provided in the embodiment of the present application can support the entire camera device by providing a bearing member, and the driving component can drive the rotating cylinder to rotate, so that the camera device can have the function of being able to be raised and lowered; by providing a rotating cylinder and a lifting cylinder, the rotating cylinder can drive the lifting cylinder to rise and fall during the rotation process, by connecting the lifting cylinder and the bracket assembly, the lifting cylinder can drive the bracket assembly to rise and fall, and by providing the camera module on the bracket assembly, the camera module can be raised and lowered together with the bracket assembly. By providing a first buffer between the bracket assembly and the lifting cylinder, when the camera device is subjected to an external force, the external force can directly act on the bracket assembly, and then act on the first buffer through the bracket assembly, and the bracket assembly compresses the first buffer, and the first buffer can buffer the external force on the bracket assembly, thereby protecting the camera module, so as to protect the camera device and the electronic device.

[0007] In one possible implementation, a groove is provided on the inner wall of the rotating cylinder, and inclined guide rails are provided on the top and bottom walls of the groove; a protrusion cooperating with the guide rail is provided on the outer wall of the lifting cylinder, and the height of the protrusion in the axial direction of the bearing member is less than or equal to the distance between the top and bottom walls of the groove.

[0008] The camera device provided in the embodiment of the present application can convert the rotation of the rotating cylinder around the central axis into the lifting and lowering movement of the lifting cylinder along the direction of the central axis by cooperating the lifting cylinder and the rotating cylinder through the protrusions and the guide rails, thereby realizing the lifting and lowering movement of the camera module along the direction of the central axis; and the structures of the protrusions and the guide rails are relatively simple, which can simplify the structure of the camera device and reduce costs.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the bracket assembly includes a bracket and an assembly assembly; wherein the assembly assembly is arranged on one of the bracket and the lifting cylinder; the first buffer is arranged in the assembly assembly, and the central axis of the first buffer is parallel to the central axis of the lifting cylinder.

[0010] In this way, the first buffer component can be conveniently arranged and can be ensured to move along the central axis of the lifting cylinder, thereby preventing the first buffer component from shifting during the lifting process and preventing the first buffer component from being damaged.

[0012] By setting the assembly component on the bracket, since the bracket is set on the inner side of the lifting cylinder, the setting of the assembly component will not affect the volume of the entire camera device. Compared with setting it on the lifting cylinder, this can simplify the structure of the lifting cylinder and reduce the volume of the camera state, which is conducive to the miniaturization of the camera device.

[0013] In a possible implementation, a pin extending toward a center axis of the bracket is provided on a side of the lifting cylinder close to the bracket; one end of the first buffer is connected to the assembly component, and the other end is connected to the pin.

[0015] In a possible implementation, an opening is provided at one end of the sleeve facing the lifting cylinder; wherein the pin extends into the sleeve through the opening and is connected to the first buffer member so that the pin and the sleeve can move relative to each other along the axial direction of the lifting cylinder.

[0016] In this way, the pin is matched with the opening on the sleeve so that the pin can reciprocate in the opening along the central axis of the bracket, thereby realizing the mutual movement between the lifting cylinder and the bracket along the central axis of the bracket.

[0017] In a possible implementation, there are multiple first buffer members, and the multiple first buffer members are distributed at intervals along the circumference of the bracket.

[0018] By providing a plurality of first buffer members, the lifting cylinder can be subjected to uniform force, thereby preventing the lifting cylinder from being offset during the ascending or descending process, thereby reducing the problem of jamming during the ascending or descending process.

[0019] In a possible implementation manner, the number of the first buffer components is the same as the number of the assembly components; and one first buffer component is disposed on each of the assembly components.

[0020] In a possible implementation, a first plane is provided at one end of the guide rail away from the carrier, and a second plane is provided at one end of the guide rail close to the carrier; the first plane and the second plane have a first spacing in the axial direction of the rotating cylinder; and an end of the first plane away from the second plane and an end of the second plane away from the first plane have a second spacing in the circumferential direction of the rotating cylinder.

[0021] By providing a first spacing between the first plane and the second plane in the axial direction of the rotating cylinder, the lifting cylinder can be lifted and lowered along the axial direction of the lifting cylinder; by setting a second spacing between the first plane and the second plane, the rotational motion of the rotating cylinder can be converted into the lifting motion of the lifting cylinder.

[0022] In a possible implementation, a rack is provided on the outer side of the rotating cylinder, and the rack is located at one end of the rotating cylinder close to the supporting member; the rack is meshingly connected to the driving assembly; and the length of the rack in the circumferential direction of the rotating cylinder is greater than or equal to the second spacing.

[0023] The rotating cylinder is rotated by arranging a rack on the outside of the rotating cylinder so as to cooperate with the driving assembly; and the length of the rack is set to be greater than or equal to the second spacing so that the rotating cylinder can rotate along a path sufficient to fully extend or retract the lifting cylinder.

[0024] In a possible implementation, a first mounting portion is provided on an inner side of the bracket, and the first mounting portion extends in a direction close to a central axis of the bracket; and the camera module is fixed on the first mounting portion.

[0025] By providing the first mounting portion, the first mounting portion can support the camera module, so that the bracket can drive the camera module to move up and down along the axial direction of the lifting cylinder. By arranging the camera module inside the bracket, the volume of the camera device can be reduced. In addition, the rotating cylinder, the lifting cylinder and the bracket can also protect the camera module.

[0026] In a possible implementation manner, a second buffer is further included, wherein at least one of the second buffers compresses and restricts the bearing member and the bracket.

[0027] By providing a second buffer, the second buffer can always exert a thrust on the bracket toward the camera module, so that the camera module and the bracket can be closed and pressed in both the extended state and the locked state to prevent the camera module from tilting.

[0035] By arranging the driving assembly and the camera module on the same side of the carrier, the driving assembly and the camera module can have overlapping parts in the thickness direction of the mobile phone, so as to reduce the overall thickness of the camera device.

[0036] In a possible implementation, a slide is provided on the side of the base facing the rotating cylinder, and the slide may be an annular slide; one end of the rotating cylinder close to the base is accommodated in the slide and is rotatably connected to the slide; a convex wall extending away from the base is provided on the inner side of the slide; a plurality of the convex walls are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the base.

[0081] The terms used in the implementation section of this application are only used to explain the specific embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0082] Unless the context requires otherwise, throughout the specification and claims, the term "comprise" and other forms thereof, such as the third person singular form "comprises" and the present participle form "comprising", are to be interpreted as open, inclusive, that is, "including, but not limited to". In the description of the specification, the terms "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "exemplary embodiments", "example" or "some examples" and the like are intended to indicate that specific features, structures, materials or characteristics associated with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present disclosure. The schematic representation of the above terms does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. In addition, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described may be included in any one or more embodiments or examples in any appropriate manner.

[0083] In addition, in the present application, directional terms such as "front" and "rear" are defined relative to the orientation of the components in the drawings. It should be understood that these directional terms are relative concepts. They are used for relative description and clarification, and they can change accordingly according to the changes in the orientation of the components in the drawings.

[0084] In the embodiments of the present application, "and / or" is only a description of the association relationship of the associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, the character " / " in this article generally indicates that the associated objects before and after are in an "or" relationship.

[0085] With the rapid development of science and technology, 3C electronic products have been widely used in people's work and life, especially mobile terminal electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablet computers, wearable devices, etc. 3C electronic products are the abbreviation of three types of electronic products: computers, communications, and consumer electronic products. In order to cater to people's consumption experience, the camera function of the camera on electronic devices has gradually become the main function from auxiliary, but as the camera becomes more powerful in optical function, the size of the camera will also become larger, resulting in serious protrusions on the appearance of the electronic device, thus affecting the exquisite appearance of the electronic device.

[0086] In the prior art, by setting the camera as a liftable structure, when shooting, the camera is extended from the electronic device so that the camera can have a larger optical available space; when shooting is not needed, the camera is retracted into the electronic device to make the camera smaller, thereby reducing the impact of the larger camera size on the appearance of the electronic device. Among them, the liftable camera mainly includes manual press pop-up type, manual rotation type, variable speed motor automatic type, etc.

[0087] However, the camera module and transmission guide mechanism of the existing lifting camera are usually rigidly connected. When the camera module is impacted, the impact force generated will act entirely on the transmission guide mechanism, which may cause irreversible damage such as breakage of the transmission parts or guide parts, causing the camera module to become stuck or stuck when lifting, resulting in poor stability and reliability, and short lifespan of the lifting camera, which limits the application and development of the lifting camera.

[0088] Based on the above problems, an embodiment of the present application provides a camera device and an electronic device, wherein the camera device is a lifting camera, which can greatly improve the appearance and refinement of the electronic device; and the camera has a buffering function, which can buffer the external force acting on the camera device throughout the lifting process of the camera, thereby protecting the camera device and extending the service life of the camera device and the electronic device.

[0114] The bracket 251 can be arranged on the inner side of the lifting cylinder 240, and the pin 242 on the inner side of the lifting cylinder 240 is cooperated and connected with the first buffer member 261 on the bracket 251, so that the bracket 251 can move up and down along the Z direction relative to the rotating cylinder 230; the camera module 220 is arranged on the inner side of the bracket 251, and a first mounting portion 2511 extending toward the central axis of the bracket 251 is arranged on the inner side of the bracket 251, the camera module 220 is arranged on the first mounting portion 2511, and the camera module 220 is fixedly connected to the bracket 251; the first mounting portion 2511 supports the camera module 220.

[0115] In this embodiment, the lifting cylinder 240 is connected with the bracket 251 so that the lifting cylinder 240 can drive the bracket 251 to move up and down in the Z direction. The camera module 220 is arranged on the bracket 251, so the bracket 251 can drive the camera module 220 to move up and down in the Z direction. By arranging the bracket 251 inside the lifting cylinder 240 and then arranging the camera module 220 inside the bracket 251, the volume of the camera device 200 can be reduced. In addition, the rotating cylinder 230 and the lifting cylinder 240 can also protect the camera module 220.

[0116] like Figure 7 As shown, the protective cover 292 is disposed on the outside of the rotating cylinder 230, connected to one end of the lifting cylinder 240 away from the bearing member 210, and fixedly connected to the top of the bracket assembly 250; the protective cover 292 and the rotating cylinder 230 have a gap h in the thickness direction (i.e., Z direction) of the camera device 200; the edge of the protective cover 292 extends toward the bearing member 210 to surround the outer periphery of the rotating cylinder 230 and the lifting cylinder 240. The protective cover 292 protects the structural components located inside the protective cover 292.

[0117] A limiting member 270 is arranged on the carrier 210, wherein the camera module 220, the lifting cylinder 240, the rotating cylinder 230, and the bracket assembly 250 are all arranged in the limiting member 270, and a sealing assembly 291 can also be arranged between the limiting member 270 and the protective cover 292, wherein the sealing assembly 291 can include a first sealing member 2911 and a second sealing member 2912, wherein the first sealing member 2911 and the second sealing member 2912 can both be annular structures. The first seal 2911 is a structure made of soft material. The inner side of the first seal 2911 is sealed and connected to the protective cover 292. The outer side of the first seal 2911 is sealed and connected to the stopper 270. The second seal 2912 is arranged on the outer side of the protective cover 292, and is located on the inner side of the first seal 2911, and is sealed and connected to the first seal 2911. The sealing assembly 291 can prevent dust and water stains from entering the interior of the camera device 200 from between the protective cover 292 and the stopper 270, thereby protecting the camera device 200 to a certain extent and extending the service life of the camera device 200. In other examples, the sealing assembly 291 can have both sealing and bonding functions.

[0118] Continue to see Figure 5As shown, the carrier 210 may include a base 212, a sub-circuit board 211 and a substrate 213, wherein the sub-circuit board 211 is stacked with the substrate 213, the base 212 is arranged on the side of the sub-circuit board 211 away from the substrate 213, and the base 212 and the substrate 213 are both fixedly connected to the sub-circuit board 211; the driving component 280 is arranged on the side of the sub-circuit board 211 away from the substrate 213 and is located at one end of the sub-circuit board 211, and the driving component 280 is electrically connected to the sub-circuit board 211, thereby providing power for the driving component 280. Among them, the substrate 213 can be used to carry other structures of the camera device 200, and the sub-circuit board 211 plays a certain protective role, which is conducive to improving the overall mechanical strength of the camera device 200.

[0119] The sub-circuit board 211 may be a flexible printed circuit (FPC), and a photosensitive element (not shown in the figure) may be electrically connected to the sub-circuit board 211 .

[0120] Exemplarily, the photosensitive element can be a charge coupled device (CCD) or a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) phototransistor.

[0121] like Figure 5 As shown, a hollow area 2122 may be provided on the base 212, and the hollow area 2122 is covered with a filter (not shown in the figure). The photosensitive element and the filter are arranged opposite to each other along the Z direction.

[0122] Exemplarily, the filter may be an infrared filter, which may filter out infrared light to prevent the infrared light from entering the lens and affecting imaging.

[0123] Specifically, the sub-circuit board 211 is electrically connected to the image processing unit (Image Signal Processing, ISP) on the main circuit board 140, and the image processing unit (ISP) is electrically connected to the digital processing unit (Digital Signal Processing, DSP). The image processing unit (ISP) and the digital processing unit (DSP) can be separately arranged on the main circuit board 140, or the image processing unit (ISP) and the digital processing unit (DSP) can be integrated together and arranged on the main circuit board 140. For example, when taking a photo, the shutter is opened, the light passes through the lens and is transmitted to the photosensitive element through the filter, the light signal is converted into an electrical signal, the photosensitive element transmits the electrical signal to the ISP for processing through the sub-circuit board 211, the ISP converts the electrical signal into a digital image signal, the ISP outputs the digital image signal to the DSP for processing, and the DSP converts the digital image signal into an image signal in a standard format such as RGB, YUV, etc.

[0124] In this embodiment, the rotating cylinder 230 is rotatably arranged on the supporting member 210, wherein the rotating cylinder 230 can be located on the side of the base 212 away from the substrate 213, and a slideway 2121 is arranged on the side of the base 212 facing the rotating cylinder 230, and the slideway 2121 can be an annular slideway 2121. The end of the rotating cylinder 230 close to the base 212 is accommodated in the slideway 2121, and rotates along the slideway 2121 under the drive of the driving assembly 280, and a convex wall 2126 extending in a direction away from the base 212 is arranged on the inner side of the slideway 2121, and a plurality of convex walls 2126 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the base 212. By setting the convex wall 2126, the rotation center of the rotating cylinder 230 can be prevented from being offset during rotation, thereby ensuring the stability of the rotating cylinder 230, and further ensuring the stability of the camera device 200. In this embodiment, the driving assembly 280 and the camera module 220 can be located on the same side of the carrier 210, so that the driving assembly 280 and the camera module 220 can have an overlapping portion in the thickness direction of the mobile phone to reduce the overall thickness of the camera device 200.

[0125] In addition, if Figure 8 As shown, a guide member 2124 is also provided on the base 212, wherein the guide member 2124 is fixedly arranged on the side of the base 212 facing the camera module 220, the guide member 2124 extends along the Z direction, and the guide member 2124 is inserted into the lifting cylinder 240. Exemplarily, the guide member 2124 and the base 212 can be connected by bonding, welding, clamping, integral molding, threaded connection, etc., and the fixing method between the guide member 2124 and the base 212 is not limited in the present application.

[0126] A stopper 2127 may also be provided at the top of the guide member 2124, and the stopper 2127 is used to prevent at least one of the lifting cylinder 240 and the bracket 251 from being separated from the base 212. At least a portion of the orthographic projection of the stopper 2127 on the carrier 210 may overlap with a portion of the orthographic projection of the lifting cylinder 240 or the bracket 251 on the carrier 210.

[0127] For example, Fig. 9 As shown, the positive projection of the stopper 2127 on the carrier 210 partially overlaps with the projection of the bracket 251 on the carrier 210, and the stopper 2127 is arranged to block the end of the bracket 251 away from the carrier 210 in the overlapping portion. When the camera module 220 rises to the highest position, the stopper 2127 can prevent the bracket 251 from separating from the carrier 210, and the stopper 2127 can control the movement of the bracket 251. In other examples, the projection of the stopper 2127 on the carrier 210 partially overlaps with the projection of the lifting cylinder 240 on the carrier 210, and the stopper 2127 is arranged to block the end of the lifting cylinder 240 away from the carrier 210 in the overlapping portion. The stopper 2127 can prevent the lifting cylinder 240 from separating from the carrier 210, and the stopper 2127 can control the movement of the lifting cylinder 240.

[0128] In this embodiment, one end of the stopper 2127 is fixed to the guide member 2124, and the other end extends outside the guide member 2124 toward the base. There may be multiple stoppers 2127, and different stoppers 2127 may have different shapes. The shape and number of the stoppers 2127 are not specifically limited in this embodiment. The connection method between the stopper 2127 and the guide member 2124 does not limit the protection scope of the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application. For example, the stopper 2127 may be fixed to the guide member 2124 by bonding, welding, clamping, integral molding, etc.

[0129] In addition, a column 2128 for installing the second buffer member 262 is also provided on the guide member 2124, wherein the number of the columns 2128 can be multiple, and the distribution of the columns 2128 can be set to axial symmetry, central symmetry, asymmetry, etc. according to the actual space.

[0130] Continue to see Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, a mounting cavity 2514 cooperating with the column 2128 is provided on the side of the bracket 251 facing the base 212, and the end of the column 2128 close to the base 212 is fixedly connected to the base, wherein the column 2128 can be fixed to the base 212 by bonding, welding, clamping, integral molding, etc.; the end of the column 2128 away from the base 212 extends into the mounting cavity 2514 and is compressed and limited in the mounting cavity 2514; the second buffer 262 is sleeved on the column 2128, and the end of the second buffer 262 close to the base 212 is fixedly connected to the base, and the end of the second buffer 262 close to the bracket 251 abuts against the top wall of the mounting cavity 2514, wherein the second buffer 262 is compressed and limited between the base 212 and the bracket 251. The restoring force of the second buffer 262 can press the bracket 251 and the camera module 220 tightly.

[0131] like Fig. 9 As shown, in this embodiment, the guide member 2124 can be located at the inner side of the bracket 251, wherein the bracket 251 is provided with a mounting groove 2513 for accommodating the guide member 2124, and the guide member 2124 is engaged in the mounting groove 2513, so that the bracket 251 will not rotate relative to the base 212; since the lifting cylinder 240 and the bracket 251 are connected by the pins 242, the lifting cylinder 240 will not rotate relative to the bracket 251. The bracket 251 can move in the Z direction along the guide member 2124 under the drive of the lifting cylinder 240, so that the camera module 220 can move in the Z direction.

[0132] By providing the guide member 2124 and the mounting groove 2513, the lifting cylinder 240 and the bracket assembly 250 will not rotate relative to the supporting member 210. In this way, during the rotation of the rotating cylinder 230, the first buffer member 261 and the second buffer member 262 can be prevented from being offset, so that the camera module 220 can maintain a stable state when extending or retracting.

[0133] In this embodiment, two guide members 2124 are relatively arranged on the base 212, and each guide member 2124 corresponds to a mounting groove 2513. It should be noted that the number of guide members 2124 and mounting grooves 2513 includes but is not limited to two, and can also be one, three, four or more, and the guide members 2124 and mounting grooves 2513 can be arranged in various forms such as axisymmetric, centrally symmetrical, and asymmetrical according to the actual space. When arranged in axisymmetric or centrally symmetrical forms, the force between the guide members 2124 and the mounting grooves 2513 is relatively uniform, so that the lifting cylinder 240 will not be offset during the rising or falling process, thereby reducing the jamming problem during the lifting process.

[0134] In this embodiment, the first buffer 261 and the second buffer 262 can both be springs, which have a simple structure and low cost. Of course, in other embodiments, the first buffer 261 and the second buffer 262 can also be other elastic structures, which is not further limited in this embodiment.

[0135] like Fig.10 As shown, the bracket assembly 250 may further include an assembly assembly 251 a , wherein the assembly assembly 251 a may be disposed on the bracket 251 or the lifting cylinder 240 . Exemplarily, the assembly assembly 251 a may be disposed on the bracket 251 .

[0136] The following description will be made on the assumption that the assembly component 251 a can be arranged on the bracket 251 .

[0137] The assembly component 251a may include a sleeve 252 and a sleeve cover 253, wherein the sleeve 252 and the sleeve cover 253 are arranged on the bracket 251, and the bracket 251 is provided with a second mounting portion 2512, and the second mounting portion 2512 is used to mount the sleeve 252 and the first buffer 261. For example, one end of the sleeve 252 is fixed in the second mounting portion 2512, and the other end extends in a direction away from the base 212, the first buffer 261 is arranged in the sleeve 252, and the sleeve cover 523 is covered on one end of the sleeve 252 away from the bearing member 210, thereby limiting the first buffer 261 in the assembly area.

[0138] The sleeve cover 253 is connected to the end of the sleeve 252 away from the carrier 210. The sleeve cover 253 is used to prevent the first buffer from being separated from the sleeve 252 along the Z direction. In addition, by setting the sleeve cover 253 as an independent component, it is convenient to install the first buffer 261 in the assembly area. The sleeve 252 is used to limit the movement of the first buffer 261 in the XY plane. The sleeve 252 extends along the Z direction, thereby guiding the movement of the first buffer 261 along the Z direction. The sleeve 252 and the second mounting portion 2512 can be connected by means of clamping, bonding, welding, threaded connection or integral molding. The sleeve cover 253 and the sleeve 252 can be connected by means of clamping, bonding, welding, threaded connection or integral molding.

[0139] In addition, a limiting protrusion 256 is provided at one end of the bracket 251 away from the base 212. The limiting protrusion 256 extends in a direction away from the base 212, and the top of the limiting protrusion 256 can be flush with the top of the sleeve cover 253, so that the protective cover 292 can be set on the top of the limiting protrusion 256 and the sleeve cover 253, which can reduce the force on the sleeve cover 253 and balance the gravity of the protective cover 292, thereby protecting the protective cover 292 and the sleeve cover 253.

[0140] In this embodiment, when the lifting cylinder 240 is located inside the rotating cylinder 230, at the second mounting portion 2512, the second mounting portion 2512, the sleeve cover 253, the sleeve 252 and the first buffer 261 are all located inside the rotating cylinder 230, the sleeve 252 can be arranged on the second mounting portion 2512, and the bracket 251 is pressed onto the first buffer 261 through the second mounting portion 2512, the sleeve 252 and the sleeve cover 253 in sequence. In some other embodiments, the lifting cylinder 240 can also be located outside the rotating cylinder 230 (not shown in the figure), in which case the second mounting portion 2512, the sleeve cover 253, the sleeve 252 and the first buffer 261 can all be located outside the rotating cylinder 230, the sleeve 252 can be provided with an external mounting portion, and the bracket 251 is pressed onto the first buffer 261 through the external mounting portion, the sleeve 252 and the sleeve cover 253 in sequence.

[0141] like Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown, the bracket 251 is pressed on the end of the first buffer 261 away from the carrier 210 through the sleeve cover 253, and the end of the lifting cylinder 240 facing the carrier 210 is provided with a pin 242, and the pin 242 can be pressed on the end of the first buffer 261 facing the carrier 210. The pin 242 can abut against, directly connect with the first buffer 261, or be connected through a connecting structure on the first buffer 261. The sleeve cover 253 and the first buffer 261 can abut against, directly connect with, or be connected through a connecting structure on the first buffer 261.

[0142] It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the pin 242 may also be disposed at an end of the lifting cylinder 240 away from the bearing member 210 . The specific configuration may be based on specific circumstances and is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

[0143] For example, Fig.10 As shown, the sleeve 252 may be a barrel-shaped structure, which is sleeved on the outside of the first buffer 261, and an opening is provided on the side of the sleeve 252 facing the lifting cylinder 240, through which the pin 242 can extend into the sleeve 252 and abut against one end of the first buffer 261 facing the bearing member 210. The opening may be a strip-shaped opening extending in the Z direction, so that the pin 242 can reciprocate in the opening in the Z direction, thereby realizing the relative movement between the lifting cylinder 240 and the bracket 251 in the Z direction.

[0144] It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the sleeve 252 can also be set as a columnar structure (not shown in the figure), and then the first buffer 261 can be sleeved on the outside of the columnar structure. The pin 242 can be a ring-shaped structure, and the pin is also sleeved on the columnar structure, and abuts against the end of the first buffer 261 facing the bearing member 210, and the gap between the pin 242 and the columnar structure is matched, so that the pin 242 can reciprocate along the columnar structure. Of course, in some other embodiments, the sleeve 252 and the pin can also be set to other structures, which can be set according to specific circumstances, and will not be repeated here.

[0145] It should be noted that the distance between the end of the sleeve cover 253 away from the carrier 210 and the carrier 210 can be greater than or equal to the distance between the end of the remaining part of the bracket assembly 250 away from the carrier 210 and the carrier 210, and the sleeve cover 253 is connected to the protective cover 292, so that when external force acts on the camera device 200, it first acts on the protective cover 292 and the sleeve cover 253, and is then transmitted to the first buffer 261 through the sleeve cover 253.

[0146] When subjected to external force, the external force is transmitted to the protective cover 292, the sleeve cover 253, the first buffer member 261 and the pin 242, the bracket assembly 250 moves toward the carrier 210, and the pin 242 compresses the first buffer member 261 in a direction away from the carrier 210, thereby achieving buffering.

[0147] It is understandable that the pin 242 can cooperate with any one or more of the sleeves 252 to prevent the lifting cylinder 240 and the bracket 251 from rotating relative to each other in the XY plane, thereby forming a limit assembly between the lifting cylinder 240 and the bracket 251. Of course, other limit assemblies can also be set between the lifting cylinder 240 and the bracket 251 to prevent the lifting cylinder 240 and the bracket 251 from rotating relative to each other. The specific setting can be based on the specific situation and is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

[0148] It is understandable that the first buffer member 261 may be disposed on the bracket 251, but is not limited thereto. The first buffer member 261 may also be disposed on the lifting cylinder 240. Fig.12As shown, the sleeve 252 and the first buffer 261 can be both arranged on the lifting cylinder 240. For example, a flange 243 for mounting the first buffer 261 and the sleeve 252 can be arranged on the inner wall of the lifting cylinder 240, the sleeve 252 is fixed on the flange 243, and the first buffer is arranged in the sleeve 252. An opening is arranged on the side of the sleeve 252 facing the central axis of the lifting cylinder 240, and a pressing member 2515 extending toward the side away from the central axis of the lifting cylinder 240 is arranged on the bracket. The pressing member 2515 can extend into the sleeve 252 from the opening and be pressed on the end of the first buffer 261 away from the carrier 210, wherein the camera module 220 can be arranged on the bracket 251, and the protective cover 292 is fixedly connected to the top of the bracket 251, so that when an external force acts on the camera device 200, it first acts on the protective cover 292 and the bracket 251, and then is transmitted to the first buffer 261 through the bracket 251. Of course, the sleeve 252 may also be other structures, such as a barrel-shaped structure or a columnar structure. The principle is similar to that of setting the first buffer member 261 on the bracket 251, and will not be repeated here.

[0149] When the camera device 200 is acted upon by an external force, the external force is transmitted to the protective cover 292, the bracket 251, the pressing member 2515, the first buffer member 261 and the lifting cylinder 240, the bracket 251 moves toward the supporting member 210, and the pressing member 2515 compresses the first buffer member 261 toward the supporting member 210, thereby achieving buffering.

[0150] The following is a description of the movement of the camera module 220 along the Z direction provided in the embodiment of the present application.

[0151] It will be appreciated that the camera assembly 200 may include a retracted state (see Figure 7 As shown), in the retracted state, the camera module 220 does not extend out of the camera device 200, the camera device 200 is located inside the electronic device 100, the thickness of the camera device 200 is relatively small, the overall thickness of the electronic device 100 is relatively low, and the camera device 200 has little effect on the appearance of the electronic device 100.

[0152] like Fig.14 As shown, the camera device 200 may include an extended state, in which the camera module 220 extends in a direction away from the display screen 110 along the back cover 120, and the camera module 220 moves in a direction away from the carrier 210. At this time, the thickness of the camera device 200 increases, and its optically available space is larger, so that better shooting quality can be obtained.

[0153] By designing the camera device 200 as a retractable structure, the thickness of the camera device 200 is no longer limited by the thickness of the electronic device 100 , and the thickness of the electronic device 100 can be set to be smaller, which is conducive to making the electronic device 100 lighter and thinner.

[0154] Of course, the camera device 200 can also be in any state between the extended state and the retracted state.

[0155] like Figure 7 As shown, the lifting cylinder 240 is sleeved on the inner side of the rotating cylinder 230, wherein Fig.13 As shown, a groove 232 is provided on the inner wall of the rotating cylinder 230, and inclined guide rails 233 are provided on the top and bottom walls of the groove 232. A protrusion 241 cooperating with the guide rail 233 is provided on the outer wall of the lifting cylinder 240. The protrusion 241 moves in the Z direction along the guide rail 233 under the drive of the guide rail 233.

[0156] Among them, a first plane 2331 is set at the end of the guide rail 233 away from the base 212, and a second plane 2332 is set at the end of the guide rail 233 close to the base 212; and when the protrusion 241 is located on the first plane 2331, the lifting cylinder 240 is in an extended state, that is, the camera device 200 is in an extended state, and when the protrusion 241 is located on the second plane 2332, the lifting cylinder 240 is in a retracted state, that is, the camera device 200 is in a retracted state.

[0157] For example, the cross section of the protrusion 241 in the axial direction of the rotating cylinder 230 can be a parallelogram with four rounded corners, so that the top end surface of the protrusion 241 can be a plane structure, and the two ends of the plane are curved surfaces, so that the protrusion 241 can cooperate with the guide rail 233 smoothly, and the protrusion 241 can avoid wear and scratches on the guide rail 233, thereby preventing lifting and lowering jams, and extending the service life of the protrusion 241 and the guide rail 233. Of course, the protrusion 241 can also be a structure of other shapes, such as a cylinder with a plane top end surface, a rectangular parallelepiped with rounded corners, etc. The shape of the protrusion 241 is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0158] It should be noted that the end surface of the guide rail 233 (i.e., the top wall and the bottom wall of the groove 232) can be perpendicular to the side wall of the rotating cylinder 230, or the free ends of the top wall and the bottom wall of the groove 232 can be inclined in a direction close to each other, so that the opening of the groove 232 can be gradually reduced, so that when the protrusion 241 slides along the guide rail 233, the protrusion 241 can be prevented from sliding off the guide rail 233. In addition, a retaining edge (not shown in the figure) extending toward the base 212 can be provided at one end of the guide rail 233 close to the center of the rotating cylinder 230, so as to further ensure that the protrusion 241 will not slide off the guide rail 233. Of course, the guide rail 233 can also be set to other shapes, which are not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0159] like Fig.13 As shown, the distance between the first plane 2331 and the second plane 2332 in the axial direction of the rotating cylinder 230 is the first distance L1, and the first distance L1 is the distance that the lifting cylinder 240 can rise or fall in the Z direction; the distance between the end of the first plane 2331 away from the second plane 2332 and the end of the second plane 2332 away from the first plane 2331 in the circumferential direction of the rotating cylinder 230 is the second distance L2, and the rotating cylinder 230 rotates through the second distance L2 to make the lifting cylinder 240 rise or fall in the Z direction by the first distance L1. In addition, a rack 231 is provided on the outer side of the rotating cylinder 230, and the rack 231 is provided at one end of the rotating cylinder 230 close to the base 212, so as to facilitate the meshing connection of the driving assembly 280; the length L3 of the rack 231 in the circumferential direction of the rotating cylinder 230 is greater than or equal to the second distance L2.

[0160] It should be noted that the rack 231 in the embodiment of the present application refers to the teeth provided on the outer circumference of the rotating cylinder 230 that can be meshed with the gear, but the portion of the outer circumference of the rotating cylinder 230 where the teeth are provided is less than one circle.

[0161] By setting the first plane 2331 and the second plane 2332, the protrusion 241 can be engaged on the first plane 2331 or the second plane 2332, so that the lifting cylinder 240 is in a stable state when it is in the extended state or the retracted state. This can prevent the lifting cylinder 240 from sliding along the guide rail 233, thereby preventing the camera device 200 from shaking, thereby ensuring the shooting effect of the camera device 200.

[0162] It should be noted that the length of the first plane 2331 and the second plane 2332 only needs to be greater than or equal to the length of the top end surface of the protrusion 241. The specific lengths of the first plane 2331 and the second plane 2332 can be set according to specific circumstances and are not specifically limited in this embodiment.

[0163] In some embodiments, the number of grooves 232 can be multiple, that is, the number of guide rails 233 can be multiple; multiple guide rails 233 are arranged at intervals on the inner side of the rotating cylinder 230, and multiple guide rails 233 can be evenly distributed on the inner side of the rotating cylinder 230, which can be specifically set according to the distribution of the protrusions 241. In addition, the number of guide rails 233 is the same as the number of protrusions 241, and the distances from the multiple protrusions 241 to the base 212 are the same, so that the force on the lifting cylinder 240 can be uniform, and then it can be stably raised or lowered. Of course, the number of guide rails 233 and protrusions 241 does not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the technical solution of the present application. One guide rail 233 can correspond to one protrusion 241, or one guide rail 233 can correspond to one protrusion 241, which can be specifically set according to actual conditions.

[0164] The outer side of the lifting cylinder 240 in the embodiment of the present application is provided with a protrusion 241 so as to cooperate with the rotating cylinder 230, and the inner side of the lifting cylinder 240 is provided with a pin 242 so as to cooperate with the bracket assembly 250, so as to realize that the rotation of the rotating cylinder 230 can drive the lifting cylinder 240 and the bracket assembly 250 to move along the Z direction. It should be noted that the number of the pins 242, the protrusions 241 and the grooves 232 on the rotating cylinder 230 includes but is not limited to the three shown in the figure, and can also be one, two, four or more, and the distribution of the pins 242, the protrusions 241 and the grooves 232 on the rotating cylinder 230 can be set to be axially symmetrical, centrally symmetrical, asymmetrical, etc. according to the specific space. Of course, the axially symmetrical and centrally symmetrical distribution can make the lifting cylinder 240 bear more uniform force. In addition, the number of protrusions 241 and grooves 232 can be the same, and the number of protrusions 241 and pins 242 can be the same or different. In this embodiment, the number of pins 242, protrusions 241 and grooves 232 on the rotating drum 230 is not specifically limited.

[0165] The lifting and lowering process of the camera device 200 is described below with the initial position of the camera device 200 as the retracted state.

[0166] For example, Fig.13As shown, when the rotating cylinder 230 rotates around the lifting cylinder 240 along the first direction (i.e., the direction from the first plane 2331 to the second plane 2332), the distance between the guide rail 233a located at the bottom end of the groove 232 and the base 212 gradually increases, and the guide rail 233a located at the bottom end of the groove 232 drives the protrusion 241 to rise along the Z direction, thereby causing the lifting cylinder 240 to rise along the Z direction, and the pin 242 of the lifting cylinder 240 will also rise along the Z direction. At this time, the pin 242 will compress the first buffer member 261 (so that there will be no instantaneous impact on the camera module 220 at the moment of starting the rotating cylinder 230), and the compressed first buffer member 261 will generate an outward restoring force, which can drive the camera module 220 to rise along the Z direction. When the rotating cylinder 230 rotates from the second plane 2332 to the first plane 2331, the protrusion 241 also rises from the second plane 2332 to the first plane 2331 along the guide rail 233 (as shown in FIG. 2 ). Fig.15 As shown), the lifting cylinder 240 reaches the extended state from the retracted state, and the bracket assembly 250, the camera module 220 and the protective cover 292 all reach the extended state (as shown in FIG. Fig.14 and Fig.15 shown).

[0167] It should be noted that when the camera device 200 is in the process of reaching the extended state from the retracted state, the second buffer 262 is always in a compressed state, that is, the second buffer 262 will always give the bracket 251 an upward thrust, which is conducive to pushing out the bracket assembly 250 and the camera module 220, and can ensure that in the extended state, the camera module 220 can be tightly connected to the bracket 251 to prevent the camera module 220 from tilting.

[0168] like Fig.13 As shown, when the rotating cylinder 230 rotates around the lifting cylinder 240 along the second direction (the direction from the second plane 2332 to the first plane 2331), the distance between the guide rail 233b located at the top of the groove and the base 212 gradually decreases, so that the guide rail 233b drives the protrusion 241 to descend along the Z direction, thereby driving the lifting cylinder 240 to descend along the Z direction. Since the pin 242 of the lifting cylinder 240 abuts against the second mounting portion 2512 of the bracket 251, the lifting cylinder 240 drives the bracket 251 to descend along the Z direction and compresses the second buffer 262. When the rotating cylinder 230 rotates from the first plane 2331 to the second plane 2332, the protrusion 241 also descends from the first plane 2331 to the second plane 2332 along the guide rail 233, thereby causing the lifting cylinder 240 to reach the retracted state from the extended state, and driving the bracket assembly 250, the camera module 220 and the protective cover 292 to reach the retracted state (as shown in FIG. Figure 7 shown).

[0169] The first direction and the second direction are opposite. For example, the first direction may be a clockwise direction, and the second direction may be a counterclockwise direction.

[0170] The entire driving process of the camera device 200 is that the driving component 280 drives the rotating cylinder 230 to rotate, the rotating cylinder 230 then drives the lifting cylinder 240 to reciprocate along the Z direction, and the lifting cylinder 240 drives the bracket 251 to reciprocate along the Z direction. Since the camera module 220 is set on the bracket 251, the bracket 251 can drive the camera module 220 to reciprocate along the Z direction.

[0171] It should be noted that the connection method between the camera module 220 and the bracket 251 does not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the technical solution of the present application, as long as the camera module 220 can move with the bracket 251. Exemplarily, the connection method between the camera module 220 and the bracket 251 can be bonding or the like.

[0172] The buffering function of the camera device 200 is described in detail below.

[0173] In this embodiment, due to the provision of the first buffer member 261 and the second buffer member 262, the external force impact on the camera device 200 can be effectively alleviated, thereby avoiding the problem of the camera module 220 being stuck or stuck during lifting, improving the stability and reliability of the lifting camera device 200, extending the service life of the camera device 200, and further extending the service life of the electronic device 100.

[0174] like Fig.16 As shown, the camera device 200 may include a buffer state, that is, after the camera module 220 extends out of the electronic device 100, when the camera module 220 is impacted by an external force F, the first buffer member 261 is compressed and releases the external force.

[0175] When the camera device 200 is impacted by an external force F, the camera device 200 Fig.15 The state shown in Fig.16 The status shown in .

[0176] Exemplarily, the external force F will first act on the light-transmitting member 293, and the light-transmitting member 293 is arranged on the protective cover 292, and the protective cover 292 is fixedly connected to the bracket assembly 250. Therefore, when the camera device 200 is subjected to an external force impact, it acts on the protective cover 292 through the light-transmitting member 293, and then acts on the bracket assembly 250 through the protective cover 292. Since the bracket assembly 250 is provided with a first buffer member 261, and the bottom end of the first buffer member 261 abuts against the pin 242 of the lifting cylinder, and the pin 242 can move along the Z direction relative to the sleeve 252 on the bracket assembly 250, the bracket assembly 250 will move downward when subjected to an external force impact. At this time, since the pin 242 is fixed, the first buffer member 261 located in the sleeve 252 will be compressed, and the second switching member 255 under the bracket 251 will also be compressed, thereby buffering the external force impact on the camera device 200. During the entire buffering process, external force impact will never act on the camera module 220, and will not cause impact on the lifting cylinder 240 and the rotating cylinder 230, so the first buffer member 261 can protect the camera device 200.

[0177] In addition, when the camera device 200 is in the retracted state, at the moment the rotating cylinder 230 is started, the rotating cylinder 230 drives the lifting cylinder 240 to rise. At this time, the pin 242 of the lifting cylinder 240 will apply the instantaneous impact to the first buffer member 261, compressing the first buffer member 261, thereby buffering the instantaneous impact during startup, thereby protecting the camera module 220.

[0178] Therefore, as long as the camera module 220 is about to extend, is extending, or has extended out of the electronic device 100, no matter whether the camera module 220 is in the process of extending outward, retracting inward, or in normal working state, the first buffer component 261 can play a buffering role. The first buffer component 261 can achieve full buffering of the movement process and working process of the camera module 220, and the protection effect on the camera module 220 is better.

[0179] like Fig.17 As shown, the number of the first buffer member 261 and the second buffer member 262 is four, and the first buffer member 261 and the second buffer member 262 are centrally symmetrically distributed, so that the force of each first buffer member 261 can be more uniform, thereby making the buffering effect more balanced. Of course, the number of the first buffer member 261 and the second buffer member 262 can also be one, two, three, five or more, such as Fig.18As shown, the number of the first buffer 254 and the second buffer 262 are both six, and the number of the first buffer 261 and the second buffer 262 is not limited in this application. The distribution of the first buffer 261 and the second buffer 262 can be set to various types such as axisymmetric, center-symmetric, and asymmetric according to the actual space. Of course, the axisymmetric and center-symmetric distribution can make the force of the first buffer 261 and the second buffer 262 more uniform, and the buffering effect is better. In addition, the number of the first buffer 261 and the second buffer 262 includes but is not limited to being the same, and the number of the first buffer 261 and the second buffer 262 can also be different, which can be set according to the specific situation, and is not specifically limited here.

[0180] In addition, it should be noted that, since the first buffer member 261 and the second buffer member 262 are both arranged on the bracket, the number of installation positions that cooperate with the first buffer member 261 and the second buffer member 262 is not specifically limited, as long as they can cooperate with the first buffer member 261 and the second buffer member 262 respectively. In addition, the number of sleeves 252 and sleeve covers 253 can be set according to the number of first buffer members 261. For example, the number of sleeves 252, first buffer members 261 and sleeve covers 253 is three, four, five or more. Alternatively, the number of sleeves 252, first buffer members 261 and sleeve covers 253 is the same; or the number of sleeves 252 and sleeve covers 253 is less than the number of first buffer members 261, etc. As long as they can play a buffering role.

[0181] In addition, a third buffer member (not shown in the figure) can be further provided between the protective cover 292 and the sleeve cover 253, and multiple third buffer members are provided at the top end of the sleeve cover 253, so as to alleviate the force between the protective cover 292 and the sleeve cover 253 and protect the protective cover 292 and the sleeve cover 253.

[0182] Exemplarily, the third buffer may be made of elastic materials such as rubber, foam, sponge, latex, etc. In addition, the third buffer may also be a spring, a spring, etc. It should be noted that the shape of the third buffer may be set according to specific circumstances and is not further limited here.

[0183] Continue to see Figure 5As shown, a connecting portion 2123 is provided on the outer side of the base, and a connecting hole 2125 is provided on the connecting portion 2123. By way of example, the connecting portion 2123 of the base 212 and the stopper 270 are connected by fasteners, so that the stopper 270 and the bearing member 210 are fixedly connected. The stopper 270 is provided with a first cavity 271 for accommodating the base 212 and a part of the structure of the rotating cylinder 230, and a second cavity 272 for accommodating the driving assembly 280. The bottom end of the rotating cylinder 230 is located in the cavity, and the rotating cylinder 230 is rotatably connected to the stopper 270, the driving assembly 280 is located in the second cavity 272, the first cavity 271 and the second cavity 272 are interconnected, so that the driving assembly 280 is connected to the rotating cylinder 230, and then the rotating cylinder 230 is driven to rotate, and a top cover plate 273 is also provided on the second cavity 272, and the top cover plate 273 is covered on the second cavity 272 to limit the driving assembly 280 in the second cavity 272, and a sealing strip 274 can be provided between the top cover plate 273 and the stopper 270, so as to prevent water stains, dust, etc. from entering the camera device 200. The stopper 270 can play a certain protective role on the driving assembly 280 and the rotating cylinder 230 and other structures.

[0184] It should be noted that the base 212 and the limiter 270 may also be fixedly connected by other means, and the connection method between the base 212 and the limiter 270 does not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application.

[0185] The drive assembly 280 provided in the embodiment of the present application is described below.

[0186] The driving assembly 280 can be located outside the rotating cylinder 230, so that the volume of the rotating cylinder 230 can be small, which is conducive to the miniaturization of the camera device 200. Of course, the driving assembly 280 can be located inside the rotating cylinder 230, so as to protect the driving assembly 280.

[0187] The embodiment of the present application is described as if the driving assembly 280 is located outside the rotating drum 230 .

[0188] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the driving assembly 280 and the rotating cylinder 230 are rotatably connected by gear meshing, wherein a rack 231 is provided on the outer side of the rotating cylinder 230. The driving assembly 280 may include a driving member 281, a first gear 284, a second gear 285, and a housing 286, wherein the housing 286 is covered on the outer side of the driving member 281, the first gear 284, and the second gear 285, and may protect the driving member 281, the first gear 284, and the second gear 285. The driving member 281 may transmit the driving force to the rack 231 of the rotating cylinder through the first gear 284 and the second gear 285, so that the driving member 281 may be used to drive the rotating cylinder 230 to rotate, wherein the driving member 281 may include but is not limited to a micro motor.

[0189] Specifically, the extension direction of the output shaft of the driving member 281 can be perpendicular to the Z direction (i.e., located in the XY plane), and the driving member 281 is horizontally placed on the carrier 210, so that the thickness of the camera device 200 can be reduced. A worm 283 can be provided on the output shaft of the driving member 281, and the driving assembly 280 can also include a worm wheel 282 that cooperates with the worm 283, and the worm 283 drives the worm wheel 282 to rotate in the XY plane. A first gear 284 is provided on the worm wheel 282, and the first gear 284 is coaxially arranged with the worm wheel 282 and rotates synchronously, and the second gear 285 is respectively meshed with the first gear 284 and the rack 231 of the rotating cylinder 230. The driving member 281 drives the worm 283, the worm wheel 282, the first gear 284, the second gear 285 and the rack 231 to rotate in sequence, thereby driving the rotating cylinder 230 to rotate. Of course, in some examples, the first gear 284 may be meshed with the rack 231 to drive the rotating drum 230 to rotate, thereby eliminating the need to provide the second gear 285 and making the structure of the driving assembly 280 relatively simple.

[0190] In this embodiment, other structures of the driving assembly are not specifically limited, as long as they can drive the rotating cylinder 230. In addition, the shape, size, number and setting position of the worm 283, worm wheel 282, first gear 284 and second gear 285 of the driving assembly are not specifically limited, as long as the power can be transmitted to the rack 231 of the rotating cylinder 230 through reasonable conduction. In addition, the length of the rack 231 is at least enough to rotate the lifting cylinder 240 from the first plane 2331 of the guide rail 233 to the second plane 2332, so as to ensure that the camera device 200 can be fully extended.

[0191] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, or it can be an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements.
