DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0047] The technical scheme of the embodiment of the present application will be clearly described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiment of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiment is a part of the embodiment of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiment of the present application, other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are all within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0048] In the description of this application, unless otherwise specified, " / " means "or", for example, A / B can mean A or B. "And / or" in this article is merely a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that three relationships may exist. For example, A and / or B can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, "at least one" means one or more, and "plurality" means two or more. The words "first", "second", etc. do not limit the quantity and execution order, and the words "first", "second", etc. do not limit them to be different.

[0049] In addition, in the present application, directional terms such as "upper", "lower", "inner" and "outer" are defined relative to the orientation of the components schematically placed 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 placed in the drawings.

[0050] It should be noted that, in this application, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations or descriptions. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "for example" in this application should not be interpreted as being more preferred or more advantageous than other embodiments or designs. Specifically, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present related concepts in a specific way.

[0051] The following first describes the application scenarios of the embodiments of the present application.

[0052] In order to enable users to obtain a better immersive visual experience when using electronic devices, higher requirements are placed on the screen-to-body ratio and narrow frame of electronic devices. This application uses a laptop as an example to specifically illustrate the screen-to-body ratio and narrow frame of electronic devices.

[0053] The camera module is an important component in a laptop computer for capturing images and videos. The way the camera module is set up is one of the factors that affect the screen-to-body ratio and narrow bezel of the laptop computer.

[0054] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the setting method of the sky side camera.

[0055] like Figure 1 As shown, the laptop computer may be provided with a top camera 100. The top camera 100 is usually embedded in the top frame 200 of the laptop computer. This arrangement of the top camera 100 occupies the volume of the top frame 200 of the screen, restricting the reduction of the black border of the top frame 200 and affecting the screen-to-body ratio of the laptop computer.

[0056] To this end, a separate camera is currently provided.

[0057] Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the setting method of the working status of a separate camera.

[0058] like Figure 2 As shown, the laptop computer can be provided with a detachable camera 300. The detachable camera 300 can be a small-volume camera. When in operation, the detachable camera 300 can be magnetically attached to the top of the laptop computer screen. Based on a wireless connection method, the detachable camera 300 can transmit images or videos to the laptop computer.

[0059] Figure 3 It is a schematic diagram of the setting method of a detached camera in a non-working state.

[0060] like Figure 3 As shown, when not in operation, the detachable camera 300 can be stored in the storage structure 400 on the side of the notebook computer.

[0061] Figure 3 A in the figure is a top view of the laptop computer after it is buckled when the detachable camera 300 is not pressed into the storage structure 400.

[0062] like Figure 3 As shown in A in FIG. 3 , when the user does not need to use the detachable camera 300 , the user can remove it from the top of the screen and adsorb it to the end surface of the storage structure 400 .

[0063] Figure 3 B is a side view of the laptop computer after it is buckled when the detachable camera 300 is pressed into the storage structure 400.

[0064] like Figure 3 As shown in B in the figure, the user can press the detachable camera 300 into the cavity of the storage structure 400 at the end surface of the storage structure 400. When the detachable camera 300 reaches a specific position of the cavity in the storage structure 400, the storage structure 400 can lock the detachable camera 300 to complete the storage of the detachable camera 300. If the detachable camera 300 needs to be used again, the user can press the detachable camera 300 again at the end surface of the storage structure 400 to make the detachable camera 300 pop out of the storage structure 400.

[0065] In this way, based on the way of storing the separate camera 300 in the storage structure 400, there is no need to occupy the volume of the top frame of the screen, so that the laptop computer can have a larger screen-to-body ratio.

[0066] However, when the detachable camera 300 is stored in the storage structure 400 , the detachable camera 300 may easily get stuck.

[0067] The following is a detailed introduction to the stuck scenarios of the detachable camera 300.

[0068] To facilitate the description of the structure in the present application, the drawings in the present application all take the thickness direction of the laptop computer as the z-axis direction and the storage direction of the separate camera 300 as the x-axis direction. Accordingly, the y-axis direction is determined based on the x-axis and z-axis directions.

[0069] Figure 4 It is a schematic diagram of a storage structure.

[0070] Figure 5 yes Figure 4 A three-dimensional diagram of the storage structure.

[0071] Figure 6 yes Figure 5 A1-A1 cross-sectional view of the storage structure.

[0072] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the storage structure 400 includes a bracket 401 , a slider 402 , a guide rail 403 and a spring 404 .

[0073] The bracket 401 includes a cavity 4011. The slider 402 is disposed in the cavity 4011, is a support beam structure, and is configured to drive the camera module 405 to slide along the x-axis direction. The guide rails 403 are disposed on both sides of the outside of the cavity 4011 along the y-axis direction, so that the slider 402 is mounted on the guide rails 403. The spring 404 is sleeved on the guide rails 403 and is located between the slider 402 and the bottom of the guide rails 403 to lift the slider 402 so that the slider 402 is located at the top of the guide rail 403 when the camera module 405 is not carried or is not pressed by the user. The top of the guide rail 403 corresponds to the entrance side of the cavity 4011.

[0074] Figure 7 yes Figure 4 Reverse view of .

[0075] like Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the slider 402 includes a swing rod 4021 and a torsion spring 4022. The bracket 401 includes a first area 4012, and a slide groove can be provided on the first area 4012 (the slide groove and its sliding path are not shown in the drawings of this application). One end of the swing rod 4021 is fixed to the second area 4023 of the slider 402 in the form of an eccentric semicircle, and the other end is clamped to the slide groove and can slide along the slide groove. The torsion spring 4022 is fixed in the second area 4023 to provide elastic force to the swing rod 4021.

[0076] In this way, the user can place the camera module 405 on the slider 402 from the entrance side of the cavity 4011 and apply pressing force to the camera module 405 .

[0077] Based on the pressing force applied by the user and the elastic force provided by the torsion spring 4022 to the swing rod 4021, the swing rod 4021 can slide in the slide groove along the sliding path of the slide groove, so that the slider 402 can carry the camera module 405 to slide along the x-axis direction, so that the camera module 405 is stored in the cavity 4011. The x-axis direction is also the depth direction of the cavity 4011.

[0078] Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of a scenario in which a user presses the camera module.

[0079] like Figure 8 As shown in A in FIG. 4 , when the user presses the camera module 405 , the user may press the edge area of ​​the camera module 405 with a pressing force F1 at different angles, for example, pressing the A area or the B area.

[0080] Assume that the user presses the area A with the pressing force F1. Based on the pressing force F1, the slider 402 is subjected to the first pressure F2. Thus, since the end surface of the slider 402 has a width W1 that matches the width of the camera module 405, and the width W1 has a large span, when the slider 402 is subjected to the first pressure F2, there may be a certain angle between the first pressure F2 and the guide rail 403, causing the slider 402 to tilt, such as Figure 8 As shown in B in the figure, the slider 402 may get stuck or even stuck with the guide rail 403.

[0081] Correspondingly, when the user presses to area B, the slider 402 may tilt and become stuck or even blocked with the guide rail 403 .

[0082] Furthermore, when the user continuously presses the camera module 405 along the x-axis direction to store the camera module 405 in the cavity 4011, jamming may occur multiple times. Therefore, the user needs to move the pressing position on the camera module 405 multiple times and adjust the tilt angle of the slider 402 to store the camera module 405, which affects the user's storage experience.

[0083] In order to solve the problem of camera module getting stuck during storage, an embodiment of the present application provides a camera module storage structure.

[0084] The method for setting the three-dimensional coordinate direction in the embodiment of the present application is the same as the above method.

[0085] The camera module structure in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to electronic devices. Among them, electronic devices include but are not limited to laptops, desktop computers, tablet computers, mobile phones, workstation equipment, large-screen devices (for example: smart screens, smart TVs, etc.), wearable devices (for example: smart bracelets, smart watches), handheld game consoles, home game consoles, virtual reality devices, augmented reality devices, mixed reality devices, etc., in-vehicle smart terminals, etc. The embodiment of the present application is not limited to this. The embodiment of the present application is only exemplified by taking the electronic device as a laptop computer.

[0086] Fig. 9 It is a schematic diagram of the camera module storage structure provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0087] Fig.10 It is a three-dimensional diagram of the camera module storage structure provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0088] like Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, the camera module storage structure 101 may include: a bracket 1, a slider 2, a guide rail 3 and a spring 4.

[0089] Fig.11 It is a schematic diagram of the structure of the bracket provided in the embodiment of the present application.

[0090] Fig.12 yes Fig.11 A2-A2 cross-sectional view of the middle support structure.

[0091] like Fig. 9 , Fig.10 , Fig.11 and Fig.12 As shown, the bracket 1 includes a cavity portion 11 and a slide groove portion 12 along the x-axis direction. The cavity portion 11 includes a first cavity, and the slide groove portion 12 includes a slide groove 121.

[0092] Specifically, the bracket 1 is provided with a first support plate 13 and a second support plate 14 along the z-axis direction, and two first connecting plates 15 along the y-axis direction. The first support plate 13 and the second support plate 14 are connected based on the two first connecting plates 15, so that the first support plate 13, the second support plate 14 and the two first connecting plates 15 surround the cavity portion 11. The first cavity in the cavity portion 11 is used to accommodate the camera module 5.

[0093] The slide groove portion 12 may be located on the first support plate 13. That is, the first support plate 13 has two parts along the x-axis direction, one of which is used to enclose the cavity portion 11, and the other is used to set the slide groove portion 12. The cavity portion 11 and the slide groove portion 12 may be connected.

[0094] In one implementation, the bracket 1 is further provided with two second connecting plates 16 along the y-axis direction, and the second connecting plates 16 are arranged between the first support plate 13 and the second support plate 14, and are arranged on both sides of the outside of the two first connecting plates 15, and each second connecting plate 16 has a certain distance from the first connecting plate 15 on the same side. In this way, the two first connecting plates 15, the two second connecting plates 16, the first support plate 13, and the second support plate 14 can respectively form two second cavities 17 on both sides of the first cavity. The second cavity 17 can be used to accommodate the guide rail 3 and the spring 4. It should be noted here that the first cavity and the second cavity 17 include but are not limited to non-enclosed cavities. In this way, the guide rail 3 can be arranged on both sides of the outside of the first cavity along the y-axis direction, and is arranged in the second cavity 17, so that the slider 2 is mounted on the guide rail 3, driving the camera module 5 to slide along the x-axis direction. The top of the guide rail 3 corresponds to the entrance side of the first cavity.

[0095] Further Fig.11 As shown, in one implementation, a fixing portion 161 is provided on the second connecting plate 16 , and the fixing portion 161 can fix the bracket 1 in the electronic device by means of clamping, bolt connection, etc.

[0096] For example, the fixing portion 161 may be provided with a fixing hole 1611 , and the fixing hole 1611 may be used to embed a bolt adapted thereto, so that the bracket 1 may be fixed in the electronic device.

[0097] Based on the structure of the bracket 1 , the slider 2 , the guide rail 3 and the spring 4 can be arranged inside the bracket 1 .

[0098] Fig.13 The embodiment of this application provides Fig.10 A3-A3 cross-sectional view of the camera module storage structure.

[0099] Fig.14 It is a schematic diagram of the structure of the slider provided in the embodiment of the present application.

[0100] like Fig.13 and Fig.14 As shown, the slider 2 is disposed in the first cavity and is configured to drive the camera module 5 to slide along the x-axis direction. The slider 2 includes a first support beam 21 and a first guide bar 22 .

[0101] In one implementation, the first support beam 21 includes two through holes 211, which are arranged on both sides of the first support beam 21 along the y-axis direction and correspond to the guide rails 3 one by one, so that the first support beam 21 is mounted on the guide rails 3. The shape of the through hole 211 includes at least one of an ellipse and a circle, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit the shape of the through hole 211.

[0102] The arrangement of the through hole 211 can ensure the stability of the first support beam 21. Specifically, based on the way in which the through hole 211 is sleeved on the guide rail 3, the first support beam 21 can carry the camera module 5 to slide along the x-axis direction and is not prone to flipping. In this way, the first support beam 21 can be prevented from rotating and getting stuck when sliding on the guide rail 3 to a certain extent.

[0103] The first support beam 21 includes a first support surface 212 facing the entrance side of the first cavity, and the first support surface 212 can carry the camera module 5 based on at least one method of magnetic adsorption, clamping, and bonding. In this way, the first support surface 212 can carry the camera module 5 detachably.

[0104] For example, two magnets 2121 may be provided on the first support surface 212, and the magnets 2121 may be provided at both ends of the first support surface 212 along the y-axis direction. Based on the magnetic adsorption effect of the magnets 2121, the first support surface 212 may be tightly connected to the camera module 5. Based on the pulling force of the user on the camera module 5, the first support surface 212 may be separated from the camera module 5.

[0105] After the user places the camera module 5 on the first support beam 21, the camera module 5 is tightly connected to the first support beam 21. At this time, the user applies a pressing force F1 to the camera module 5 to make the first support beam 21 slide on the guide rail 3. It should be noted that a hollow portion 151 is also provided on the first connecting plate 15 to connect the first cavity and the second cavity 17, so that the first support beam 21 can slide on the guide rail 3 without hindrance.

[0106] Specifically, the guide rail 3 is sleeved with a spring 4, which is located between the first support beam 21 and the bottom of the guide rail 3, so that the spring 4 can lift the first support beam 21, so that the first support beam 21 is located at the top of the guide rail 3 when it does not carry the camera module 5 or is not pressed by the user. After the user applies the pressing force F1 to the camera module 5, the spring 4 is compressed, and the first support beam 21 slides from the top of the guide rail 3 to the bottom of the guide rail 3, so that the camera module 5 is stored in the first cavity.

[0107] It should be noted that the guide rail 3 and the spring 4 are actually combined to form an elastic member structure, and the embodiment of the present application can also use other elastic member structures to replace the guide rail 3 and the spring 4, for example, a multi-layer spring sheet. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific elastic member structure used.

[0108] The first support beam 21 is provided with a first guide bar 22. Two first guide bars 22 may be provided, which are arranged on both sides of the first support beam 21 along the y-axis direction. Among them, one end of the first guide bar 22 is connected to the first support beam 21, and the other end extends a certain length along the x-axis direction. In this way, when the slider 2 drives the camera module 5 to slide along the x-axis direction, if the first support beam 21 tilts, the first guide bar 22 can abut against the side wall of the first cavity, forming a limit with the side wall of the first cavity to prevent the first support beam 21 and the guide rail 3 from reaching a stuck or stuck angle. In other words, when the slider 2 drives the camera module 5 to slide along the x-axis direction, if the first support beam 21 does not tilt, the first guide bar 22 slides relative to the first connecting plate 15, and if the first support beam 21 tilts, the first guide bar 22 abuts against the first connecting plate 15.

[0109] Specifically, the first support beam 21 and the first guide bar 22 form a gate-shaped structure. When the first support beam 21 tilts, the gate-shaped structure abuts against the first connecting plate 15 along the y-axis direction and the second support plate 14 along the z-axis direction. Therefore, the gate-shaped structure is limited by the structure of the first cavity. In this way, when the user stores the camera module 5, the limiting effect of the first cavity on the gate-shaped structure can offset the improper pressing force of the user at some specific positions to a certain extent. For example, when the user is in the process of storing the camera module 5, the first cavity can limit the position of the gate-shaped structure to a certain extent. Figure 8The pressing force applied by the area A or the area B shown is to prevent the first support beam 21 from becoming unbalanced and getting stuck or jammed with the guide rail 3.

[0110] Further Fig.12 and Fig.13 As shown, the bracket 1 further includes a guide groove 18, which is arranged on one side of the first cavity along the x-axis direction and corresponds to the position of the first guide strip 22. Two guide grooves 18 can be provided, which are arranged on both sides of the slide groove portion 12.

[0111] When the first guide bar 22 slides relative to the first connecting plate 15 in the first cavity, the first cavity provides a larger space for the first guide bar 22, and the first guide bar 22 is less restricted. When the first guide bar 22 moves to the vicinity of the guide groove 18, the first support beam 21 is more prone to tilting due to the greater spring force. Therefore, the guide groove 18 can limit the first guide bar 22 when the first guide bar 22 slides into the interior thereof, so as to prevent the slider 2 from deflecting and getting stuck.

[0112] Further Fig.13 and Fig.14 As shown, the slider 2 further includes a rocker rod 23 and a first elastic member 24 .

[0113] One end of the swing rod 23 may be fixedly connected to the first support beam 21 , and the other end may be slidably connected to the slide groove 121 to slide along the slide groove 121 .

[0114] In one implementation, a sliding column 231 is provided at one end of the swing rod 23 that is slidably connected to the slide slot 121. The swing rod 23 can be engaged with the slide slot 121 through the sliding column 231.

[0115] Specifically, the slide groove 121 has a certain depth along the z-axis direction. Based on the depth, the sliding column 231 can be engaged with the groove body of the slide groove 121, so that the swing rod 23 can only slide along the preset path of the slide groove 121. The sliding column 231 can be set to at least one of a circular column and a square column. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the shape of the sliding column 231. In this way, when the slider 2 slides to the target position, the swing rod 23 can be engaged with the slide groove 121 through the sliding column 231 to form a limit for the first support beam 21. Among them, the target position includes the top of the first cavity and the bottom of the first cavity, and the top of the first cavity is located on the side of the first cavity for placing the camera module 5.

[0116] The first elastic member 24 can be configured as a torsion spring. One end of the first elastic member 24 is fixedly connected to the first support beam 21, and the other end is abutted against the rod body of the swing rod 23, so that the first elastic member 24 can provide a first elastic force F3 to the swing rod 23 along the y-axis direction, so that the swing rod 23 can slide unidirectionally in the slide groove 121.

[0117] Specifically, based on the first elastic force F3, the swing rod 23 can slide in a clockwise circular motion along the slide slot 121. The first elastic force F3 can be a force in the negative direction along the y-axis.

[0118] Based on the above arrangement of the first elastic member 24, the swing rod 23 can have higher stability during movement. Figure 7 The arrangement of the middle torsion spring 4022 and the arrangement of the first elastic member 24 in the embodiment of the present application can better limit the swing rod 23 and further ensure the stability of the first support beam 21 during the movement along the x-axis direction.

[0119] The sliding process of the swing rod 23 is described in detail below.

[0120] The preset path of the slide groove 121 may be an irregular annular path, and partial branches may be provided at some positions of the annular path.

[0121] Fig.15 It is a schematic diagram of the structure of the slide provided in the embodiment of the present application.

[0122] like Fig.13 and 15 As shown, the slide groove 121 may include a first limiting portion 1211 , a second limiting portion 1212 and a first accommodating portion 1213 .

[0123] The first limiting portion 1211 is disposed on one side of the slide slot 121 close to the first support beam 21 , so that when the slider 2 slides to the top of the first cavity, the swing rod 23 can be snapped into the first limiting portion 1211 .

[0124] The second limiting portion 1212 is disposed on a side of the slide groove 121 away from the first support beam 21 , so that when the slider 2 slides to the bottom of the first cavity, the swing rod 23 can be snapped into the second limiting portion 1212 .

[0125] The first accommodating portion 1213 is a branch on the path between the first limiting portion 1211 and the second limiting portion 1212. In this way, when the slider 2 slides from the top of the first cavity to the bottom of the first cavity, the rocker arm 23 can slide from the first limiting portion 1211 to the first accommodating portion 1213, and slide from the first accommodating portion 1213 to the second limiting portion 1212, so as to be snapped into the second limiting portion 1212.

[0126] In one implementation, the preset path of the chute 121 is set as follows:

[0127] The preset path starts from the first limit portion 1211. Since the swing rod 23 is subjected to the first elastic force F3 provided by the first elastic member 24, the swing rod 23 can move along the first arc path K1 when it is not restricted by the slide slot 121. In order to limit the movement of the swing rod 23, the first limit portion 1211 can be arranged on the first arc path K1 along the x-axis direction and have a first distance P1, so that when the user presses the camera module 5 based on the pressing force F1, the swing rod 23 can move from one end of the first limit portion 1211 along the x-axis positive direction to the other end of the first limit portion 1211 by the first distance P1.

[0128] The first limiting portion 1211 is connected to one end of the first branch D1 and has a first angle a1 with the first branch D1. The other end of the first branch D1 abuts against the side wall of the slide groove portion 12 along the y-axis direction. In this way, when the user continues to press the camera module 5 based on the pressing force F1, the rocker arm 23 can slide from the end where the first branch D1 is connected to the first limiting portion 1211 to the other end of the first branch D1 and abut against the side wall of the slide groove portion 12 along the y-axis direction.

[0129] One end of the first branch D1 is connected to one end of the second branch D2, and there is a second angle a2 between the first branch D1 and the second branch D2. The second branch D2 is adjacent to the side wall of the slide groove portion 12 and extends a second distance P2 to the bottom of the slide groove portion 12. The bottom of the slide groove portion 12 is the side thereof away from the first support beam 21. In this way, when the user continues to press the camera module 5 based on the pressing force F1, the swing arm 23 can move along the second branch D2 from the end where the second branch D2 is connected to the first branch D1.

[0130] It should be noted here that, due to the different magnitudes of the pressing force F1 applied by the user, the movement modes of the swing rod 23 on the second branch D2 are different.

[0131] Specifically, the second branch D2 has a first preset position M1, wherein there is a third distance P3 between the first preset position M1 and the bottom end of the second branch D2 close to the slide groove portion 12, and the partial path of the second branch D2 corresponding to the third distance P3 is the first accommodating portion 1213.

[0132] One end of the third branch D3 is connected to the first preset position M1, and a third angle a3 is formed between the third branch D3 and the second branch D2. The third branch D3 extends a fourth distance P4 along the direction of the third angle a3.

[0133] That is to say, the third branch D3 is equivalent to the first sliding branch in the aforementioned content, one end of the first sliding branch starts from a side wall of the slide groove portion 12, and the other end extends a first length (i.e., the fourth distance P4) toward the first support beam 21, and the angle between the side walls of the first sliding branch slide groove portion 21 is greater than 0 degrees and less than 90 degrees.

[0134] Correspondingly, one end of the first accommodating portion 1213 is connected to one end of the first sliding branch located on one side wall of the slide groove portion 12 , and the other end extends along one side wall of the slide groove portion 12 to the bottom of the slide groove portion 12 .

[0135] In this way, when the user's pressing force F1 is less than the preset threshold, based on the first elastic force F3, the swing rod 23 can slide along the second branch D2 to the first preset position M1 and then enter the third branch D3. When the user's pressing force F1 is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, the swing rod 23 can slide along the second branch D2, exceed the first preset position M1 and enter the first accommodating portion 1213, and then return to the first preset position M1 from the first accommodating portion 1213 based on the first elastic force F3, and then enter the third branch D3.

[0136] It should be noted here that the preset threshold can be determined based on various factors such as the material and elastic force of the first elastic member 24, the length of the rocker 23, etc., and the embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific value of the preset threshold.

[0137] One end of the fourth branch D4 is connected to one end of the third branch D3, and a fourth angle a4 is formed between the fourth branch D4 and the third branch D3, and the fourth branch D4 extends a fifth distance P5 along the direction of the fourth angle a4. In this way, the connection between the third branch D3 and the fourth branch D4 can form a second limiting portion 1212. Based on the fourth angle a4, the swing arm 23 can be clamped to the second limiting portion 1212 after entering the third branch D3.

[0138] That is to say, the fourth branch D4 is equivalent to the second sliding branch in the aforementioned content, one end of the second sliding branch is connected to the end of the first sliding branch close to the first support beam 21, and the other end extends a second length (i.e., the fifth distance P5) in the direction away from the first support beam 21, and the angle between the second sliding branch and the x-axis is greater than 0 degrees and less than 90 degrees.

[0139] In this way, when the slider drives the camera module 5 to slide toward the bottom of the first cavity along the x-axis direction, the rocker arm 23 can slide from the first limit portion 1211 to the second limit portion 1212 and be snapped into the second limit portion 1212. During this process, the camera module 5 can be stored.

[0140] One end of the fifth branch D5 is connected to one end of the fourth branch D4 , and a fifth angle a5 is formed between the fifth branch D5 and the fourth branch D4 . The other end of the fifth branch D5 abuts against the other side wall of the sliding groove portion 12 .

[0141] The sixth branch D6 is disposed adjacent to the other side wall of the slide groove 12 and extends from the bottom of the slide groove 12 to the second preset position M2 by a sixth distance P6. The fifth branch D5 is disposed on the sixth branch D6 and abuts against one end of the side wall of the slide groove 12.

[0142] One end of the seventh branch D7 is connected to the second preset position M2, and there is a sixth angle a6 between the seventh branch D7 and the sixth branch D6, and the seventh branch D7 extends a seventh distance P7 along the direction of the sixth angle a6 to connect with the first branch D1. There is a seventh angle a7 between the seventh branch D7 and the first branch D1. In this way, the preset path forms an irregular annular path, and there are branches outside the annular path, such as the first accommodating portion 1213.

[0143] It should be noted that there is a step difference between the first branch D1 and the seventh branch D7, and the step difference is a discontinuity or misalignment phenomenon between two adjacent objects or structures. In this way, it can be prevented that the swing rod 23 slides to the seventh branch D7 by mistake when moving in the first branch D1.

[0144] When the user needs to use the camera module 5 , the user needs to press the camera module 5 again to make the camera module 5 pop out from the camera module storage structure 101 .

[0145] Specifically, when the rocker arm 23 is connected to the second limit portion 1212, the user presses the camera module 5, and the rocker arm 23 can enter the fourth branch D4. After the user releases the rocker arm 23, based on the first elastic force F3, the rocker arm 23 can continue to move in the fifth branch D5, the sixth branch D6 and the seventh branch D7 to enter the first branch D1 and be connected to the first limit portion 1211.

[0146] Based on the above structures, the camera module storage structure 101 can realize the storage and pop-up process of the camera module 5, and no jamming or blocking will occur during the storage and pop-up process.

[0147] The storage process and ejection process of the camera module storage structure 101 are described in detail below.

[0148] Fig.16 This is the first schematic diagram of the storage process of the camera module storage structure provided in the embodiment of the present application.

[0149] like Fig.15 and Fig.16As shown, when the camera module 5 is not stored, in the camera module storage structure 101, the spring 4 on the guide rail 3 is in a first compressed state to lift the first support beam 21, so that the first support beam 21 can be located at the top of the guide rail 3. At the same time, the swing arm 23 is limited between the first support beam 21 and the first limit portion 1211 based on the fixed relationship between the swing arm 23 and the first support beam 21, the clamping relationship between the swing arm 23 and the first limit portion 1211, and the first elastic force F3 provided by the first elastic member 24.

[0150] The user can place the camera module 5 on the first support beam 21 from the entrance side of the first cavity, so that the first support beam 21 can be tightly connected to the camera module 5 based on the magnetic adsorption effect to prevent the camera module 5 from falling from the first cavity.

[0151] The user can apply a pressing force F1 to the camera module 5. The pressing force F1 can be a force with an inclined angle. The first support beam 21 squeezes the spring 4 based on the pressing force F1 to support the camera module 5 to slide along the x-axis direction. The first path V1 is the sliding path of the first support beam 21. At this time, the pressing force F1 can be a continuous force applied during the entire process of the first support beam 21 sliding on the first path V1.

[0152] During this sliding process, since the first guide bar 22 has a certain length, it can abut against the side wall of the first cavity when the first support beam 21 is tilted. Therefore, the first guide bar 22 can partially offset the pressing force F1 with an inclined angle through the interaction force between the first guide bar 22 and the side wall of the first cavity, thereby avoiding the tilting and flipping of the first support beam 21 that may be caused by the inclined angle.

[0153] At the same time, the first support beam 21 also drives the swing rod 23 to move along the preset path in the slide groove 121. Specifically, when the first support beam 21 moves along the x-axis direction, the swing rod 23 first moves from one end of the first limit portion 1211 to the other end to enter the first branch D1, and then enters the second branch D2 from the first branch D1. If the pressing force F1 is less than the preset threshold, the swing rod 23 can enter the third branch D3 from the first preset position M1 on the second branch D2 and be clamped to the second limit portion 1212. The second path V2 is the first sliding path of the swing rod 23 during the storage process.

[0154] In this way, the first support beam 21 stops moving at the bottom of the first cavity, and the camera module 5 is stored in the first cavity. During this storage process, since the first guide bar 22 with a certain length is provided, the first guide bar 22 partially offsets the improper pressing force applied by the user at the edge position, thereby avoiding the problem of the camera module 5 being stuck or stuck during the storage process.

[0155] Fig.17It is a schematic diagram of the pop-up process of the camera module storage structure provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0156] like Fig.17 As shown, after the camera module 5 is stored, when the camera module 5 needs to be used again, the user needs to pop out the camera module 5 from the camera module storage structure 101.

[0157] When the camera module 5 is in the storage state, the spring 4 on the guide rail 3 is in the second compression state. The second compression state has a higher degree of compression than the first compression state, and can provide a greater supporting force to the first support beam 21.

[0158] The user can apply a pressing force F1 to the camera module 5, and the pressing force F1 can be a force with an inclined angle. Based on the pressing force F1, the swing rod 23 can move a certain distance from the second limit portion 1212 along the x-axis direction to enter the fourth branch D4. At this time, the user can let go. In this way, based on the support force of the spring 4 on the first support beam 21 and the first elastic force F3 provided by the first elastic member 24 to the swing rod 23, the swing rod 23 can slide independently of the pressing force F1 after entering the fourth branch D4, and slide to the fifth branch D5, the sixth branch D6, and the seventh branch D7 in turn, and enter the first branch D1 from the seventh branch D7, and snap into the first limit portion 1211. The third path V3 is the sliding path of the swing rod 23 during the pop-up process.

[0159] When the swing bar 23 is engaged with the first limiting portion 1211, the first support beam 21 returns to the top of the guide rail 3, and the camera module 5 is ejected. During this ejection process, the first support beam 21 is subjected to a relatively large negative support force along the x-axis, and the limiting effect of the first guide bar 22 and the side wall of the first cavity can prevent the first support beam 21 from being rotated and stuck.

[0160] Fig.18 This is the second schematic diagram of the storage process of the camera module storage structure provided in the embodiment of the present application.

[0161] like Fig.18 As shown, based on the first storage process of the camera module storage structure 101, if the pressing force F1 is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, the swing rod 23 can cross the first preset position M1 on the second branch D2 and enter the first accommodation portion 1213. At this time, based on the pulling force of the first elastic member 24 on the swing rod 23, the swing rod 23 returns from the first accommodation portion 1213 to the first preset position M1 and enters the third branch D3 to be clamped to the second limit portion 1212. The fourth path V4 is the second sliding path of the swing rod 23 during the storage process.

[0162] In this way, the provision of the first accommodation portion 1213 prevents the rocker arm 23 from being damaged by an excessive pressing force F1.

[0163] Fig.19 It is a schematic diagram of the structure of the cover plate provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0164] like Fig.19 As shown, in one implementation, the camera module storage structure 101 also includes a cover plate 6 .

[0165] The cover plate 6 can be buckled with the slide groove portion 12 to form a receiving space, so that at least a portion of the swing rod 23 is received in the receiving space. In this way, the cover plate 6 can restrict the swing rod 23, so that the swing rod 23 moves regularly in the slide groove 121, and its tail will not be tilted, and the swing rod 23 will not deviate from the slide groove 121.

[0166] Fig. 20 It is a schematic diagram of a camera module storage structure provided in another embodiment of the present application.

[0167] like Fig. 20 As shown, in this embodiment, the structure of the slider 2 is somewhat different from that of the above-mentioned embodiment, and other structures are the same. In one implementation, the slider 2 includes a first support beam 21 and a second guide bar 25 .

[0168] The second guide bars 25 are arranged on both sides of the first support beam 21 along the y-axis direction and sleeved on the guide rail 3. The second guide bars 25 extend a certain length along the x-axis direction on the guide rail 3. In this way, when the slider 2 drives the camera module 5 to slide along the x-axis direction, it forms a limit with the guide rail 3 to prevent the slider 2 from deflecting and getting stuck.

[0169] The first support beam 21 and the second guide bar 25 form a door-shaped structure, and the door-shaped structure is limited by the structure of the guide rail 3. In this way, when the user stores the camera module 5, the limiting effect of the guide rail 3 on the door-shaped structure can offset the improper pressing force of the user at some specific positions to a certain extent. Figure 8 The pressing force applied by the area A or the area B shown is to prevent the first support beam 21 from becoming unbalanced and getting stuck or jammed with the guide rail 3.

[0170] The technical solution shown in the embodiment of the present application, by setting a second guide bar 25 of a certain length on the first support beam 21 of the slider 2, the second guide bar 25 can offset the improper pressing force of the user at some specific positions to a certain extent based on the limiting relationship with the guide rail 3, so as to avoid the problem that when the user presses the camera module 5, the slider 2 drives the camera module 5 to slide along the x-axis direction, causing deflection and jamming due to improper pressing position and pressing force. The embodiment of the present application also provides an electronic device.

[0171] Fig.21It is a schematic diagram of the structure of an electronic device provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0172] like Fig.21 As shown, the electronic device 102 may include a housing 103 and the camera module storage structure 101 in the above-mentioned embodiment. The camera module storage structure 101 is embedded in the housing 103.

[0173] The camera module storage structure 101 may be any camera module storage structure 101 in the aforementioned embodiments, which is not limited in the present embodiment.

[0174] It is easy to understand that those skilled in the art can combine, split, reorganize, etc. the embodiments of the present application to obtain other embodiments based on the several embodiments provided in the present application, and these embodiments do not exceed the protection scope of the present application.
