Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electronic products, and in particular to a camera device and an electronic device. Background Art
[0002] With the development of science and technology, electronic devices (such as laptops, tablet computers, etc.) are favored by more and more users. Setting a camera on an electronic device can meet the needs of users for taking photos, etc. In the prior art, the camera is usually exposed at the top of the display screen or the keyboard position, which affects the appearance of the electronic device and may leak the privacy of the user. Summary of the invention
[0003] The present application provides a camera device and an electronic device, which can hide a camera inside the electronic device, thereby improving the consistency of the appearance of the electronic device and protecting the privacy of the user.
[0004] In a first aspect, the present application provides a camera device. The camera device is applied to an electronic device. The camera device includes a base, a button, a first driving member, a connecting rod, and a camera. The first driving member and the camera are both arranged on the base, and the first driving member can slide in a first direction relative to the base, and the camera can slide in a second direction relative to the base. The connecting rod is rotatably connected to the base and can rotate around a third direction relative to the base, one end of the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the first driving member, and the other end abuts against the camera.
[0005] The button is arranged along a third direction with the first driving member and is slidably connected with the first driving member. When the button is pressed along the third direction, the first driving member can be pushed to slide along the first direction toward the direction close to the connecting rod, and the connecting rod can be driven to rotate, so that the connecting rod drives the camera to slide along the second direction toward the direction away from the connecting rod. The first direction intersects with the second direction, and the first direction and the second direction are both perpendicular to the third direction.
[0006] The camera device is applied to electronic devices. The camera device provided in this embodiment can realize the storage and pop-up of the camera, so that the user can store the camera in the electronic device when the camera is not needed, thereby avoiding the camera from being exposed, ensuring the consistency and aesthetics of the appearance of the electronic device, and protecting the privacy of the user. When the camera needs to be used, the camera can be popped out by pressing a button, which is convenient for the user to use.
[0007] Moreover, in this embodiment, by pressing the button, the camera can be driven to pop out through the first driving member and the connecting rod, so that the displacement of the button along the third direction can be converted into the displacement of the camera along the second direction, so that it is convenient for users to press. For example, the third direction is parallel to the thickness direction of the electronic device, and the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to the thickness direction of the electronic device. Then, the camera device provided in the embodiment of the present application can convert the vertical force into the horizontal force, so that when the user presses the button in the vertical direction, the camera can be ejected from the electronic device in the horizontal direction, which can facilitate the user's pressing, is more ergonomic, and can enhance the user's experience.
[0008] In a possible implementation, the camera device includes an initial state and a pop-up state. When the camera device is in the initial state, there is a first angle between the extension direction of the connecting rod and the second direction, and the first angle is greater than 0 degrees and less than 90 degrees. When the button is pressed in the third direction, the camera device can be switched from the initial state to the pop-up state, and when the camera device is in the pop-up state, there is a second angle between the extension direction of the connecting rod and the second direction, and the second angle is smaller than the first angle.
[0009] In this embodiment, by setting a connecting rod between the first driving member and the camera, the displacement of the first driving member along the first direction can be converted into the displacement of the camera along the second direction through the rotation of the connecting rod, so that the camera can be popped out of the electronic device from the second direction.
[0010] In a possible implementation manner, the first driving member includes a first inclined surface, which intersects with the first direction; the button includes a second inclined surface, which is opposite to and parallel to the first inclined surface.
[0011] When the button is pressed toward the first driving member, the second inclined surface applies a force F to the first inclined surface. The force F is perpendicular to the first inclined surface and is directed toward the first inclined surface. It can be understood that the force F has a component force parallel to the first direction and directed toward the first driving member, and the component force can drive the first driving member to slide along the first direction toward the connecting rod.
[0012] In this embodiment, by setting a first inclined surface on the first driving member and a second inclined surface on the button, the force acting on the button along the third direction can be converted into the force acting on the first driving member along the first direction, so that the user can press the button along the third direction to drive the first driving member to move along the first direction, thereby facilitating the user's operation.
[0013] In a possible implementation manner, when the camera device switches from the initial state to the pop-up state, a distance that the button moves along the third direction is smaller than a distance that the camera moves along the second direction.
[0014] In a possible implementation manner, the distance from the rotation center of the connecting rod relative to the base to the end of the connecting rod close to the camera is N times the distance from the rotation center of the connecting rod relative to the base to the rotation center of the connecting rod relative to the first driving member. When the camera device switches from the initial state to the pop-up state, the angle of rotation of the connecting rod is θ; wherein N*(1 / cosθ-1) is greater than 1.
[0015] The connecting rod in this embodiment can enlarge the stroke of the button, increase the pop-up distance of the camera, and thus facilitate the user to take the camera out of the electronic device. When the pop-up distance of the camera meets the requirements, the stroke of pressing the button is smaller, and the space occupied by the button in the third direction is smaller, which is conducive to reducing the space occupied by the camera device and the electronic device. It can also save labor.
[0016] In a possible implementation, the camera device further includes a second driving member, which is arranged side by side with the camera along the second direction and is located between the connecting rod and the camera, and the second driving member can slide relative to the base along the second direction.
[0017] In this embodiment, a second driving member is provided between the camera and the connecting rod so that when the connecting rod rotates, the second driving member is pushed to slide, thereby pushing the camera to slide and causing the camera to pop out. This can prevent the connecting rod from directly contacting the camera and causing damage to the camera, thereby protecting the camera.
[0018] In a possible implementation, the base is provided with a guide groove, the extension direction of which is parallel to the second direction; a sliding column is provided on the surface of the second driving member, the sliding column is arranged in the guide groove, and the sliding column can slide along the guide groove relative to the base.
[0019] In this embodiment, a guide groove is provided on the second mounting plate and a sliding column is provided on the second driving member, so that when the second driving member slides, the sliding column can slide along the guide groove, thereby guiding the sliding of the second driving member, so that the second driving member can move according to a predetermined motion trajectory, avoiding deviation of the motion trajectory of the second driving member, and improving the stability of the sliding of the second driving member relative to the base.
[0020] In a possible implementation, the base is provided with a first mounting groove, the second driving member is provided in the first mounting groove, and can slide relative to the base in the first mounting groove. The camera device also includes a first magnetic member and a second magnetic member, the first magnetic member is provided on the side wall of the first mounting groove, and is located on the side of the second driving member close to the connecting rod. The second magnetic member is provided on the second driving member, and is arranged opposite to the first magnetic member along the second direction. When the camera device is in the initial state, the second magnetic member is magnetically attracted to the first magnetic member. When the camera device is in the pop-up state, the second magnetic member is separated from the first magnetic member.
[0021] In this embodiment, by providing the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member, the second driving member can be adsorbed to the base, thereby preventing the second driving member from shaking relative to the base and preventing the second driving member from falling off the base.
[0022] In a possible implementation manner, the camera device further includes a third magnetic member and a fourth magnetic member. The third magnetic member is disposed on the second driving member, and the fourth magnetic member is disposed on the camera and is arranged opposite to the third magnetic member. When the camera device is in the initial state, the fourth magnetic member is magnetically attracted to the third magnetic member.
[0023] In this embodiment, by providing the third magnetic member and the fourth magnetic member, a detachable connection between the camera and the second driving member can be achieved. When the camera is stored in the housing, the camera can be adsorbed to the second driving member, thereby improving the connection stability between the camera and the second driving member, preventing the camera from being dislodged from the housing due to external force, and making the camera device more reliable. When the camera needs to be used, the camera can be separated from the second driving member, which can be more convenient for users to use.
[0024] In a possible implementation, the base is provided with a first rotating shaft, the axial direction of the first rotating shaft is parallel to the third direction, the connecting rod is sleeved on the first rotating shaft, and can rotate relative to the base around the first rotating shaft. The camera device also includes a first elastic member, one end of the first elastic member is fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft, and the other end is fixedly connected to the connecting rod. When the connecting rod rotates relative to the base around the first rotating shaft, the first elastic member is twisted.
[0025] When the button is pressed and the connecting rod is driven to rotate by the first driving member, the first elastic member is twisted and a torsional force is generated. The torsional force in turn acts on the connecting rod, and then acts on the button through the first driving member, thereby providing the user with a pressing feel and allowing the user to get feedback from the pressing, which can enhance the user's usage experience.
[0026] In a possible implementation, the camera device further includes a second elastic member, which is disposed between the button and the base, and an elastic deformation direction of the second elastic member is parallel to the third direction, and when the button is in a pressed state, the second elastic member is in a compressed state.
[0027] When the key is in a pressed state, the second elastic member is in a compressed state and generates an elastic restoring force, which can drive the key to move away from the base, thereby resetting the key, that is, restoring the key to a natural state.
[0028] In a possible implementation manner, the camera device further includes a cover plate, which covers the opening of the first mounting slot and is arranged along the third direction with the second driving member, and the cover plate is fixedly connected to the base.
[0029] In this embodiment, by providing a cover plate, the second driving member can be limited in the third direction, and the movement of the second driving member along the third direction can be restricted, thereby improving the connection stability between the second driving member and the base.
[0030] In a second aspect, the present application provides an electronic device. The electronic device comprises a housing and the above-mentioned camera device. An opening is provided on the side of the housing, and the opening connects the inner side and the outer side of the housing. The camera device is provided in the housing, the button at least partially exposes the top surface of the housing, the camera is arranged opposite to the opening, and the camera can pop out from the opening relative to the housing.
[0031] In summary, the camera device provided by the present application can realize the storage and pop-up of the camera, so that the user can store the camera in the electronic device when the camera is not needed, thereby avoiding the camera from being exposed, ensuring the consistency and aesthetics of the appearance of the electronic device, and protecting the privacy of the user. When the camera needs to be used, the camera can be popped out by pressing a button, which is convenient for the user to use.
[0032] Moreover, in the present application, by pressing a button, the camera can be driven to pop out through the first driving member and the connecting rod, so that the displacement of the button along the third direction can be converted into the displacement of the camera along the second direction, which can facilitate the pressing. For example, the third direction is parallel to the thickness direction of the electronic device, and the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to the thickness direction of the electronic device. Then, the camera device provided in the embodiment of the present application can convert the vertical force into the horizontal force, so that when the user presses the button in the vertical direction, the camera can be ejected from the electronic device in the horizontal direction, which can facilitate the user's pressing, is more ergonomic, and can enhance the user's experience.

[0050] The embodiments of the present application are described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.
[0051] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of an electronic device 1000 provided in an embodiment of the present application, Figure 2 yes Figure 1 An enlarged structural diagram of area D in the electronic device is shown.
[0052] The electronic device 1000 provided in the embodiment of the present application includes but is not limited to electronic products such as a laptop computer, a tablet computer, a mobile phone, a desktop computer or a wearable device. The electronic device 1000 is described below as a laptop computer.
[0053] The electronic device 1000 includes a host 200, a display 300, a rotating shaft 400, and a camera 500. The host 200 is used to execute information. The display 300 includes a display screen 310. The display screen 310 is used to display the result of the information processing performed by the host 200. The rotating shaft 400 connects the host 200 and the display 300 so that the display 300 can be flipped relative to the host 200. The host 200 and the display 300 can rotate relative to each other through the rotating shaft 400, so that the electronic device 1000 can be switched between unfolding and closing, thereby realizing the opening or closing of the electronic device 1000.
[0054] When the electronic device 1000 is in a closed state, the display 300 and the host 200 are stacked, and the display surface of the display screen 310 faces the host 200, so that the display screen 310 can be protected. When the electronic device 1000 is in an open state, the display 300 and the host 200 are connected at an angle. Exemplarily, the angle between the display 300 and the host 200 can be 90 degrees, 100 degrees or 120 degrees, etc., or the angle between the display 300 and the host 200 can also be adjusted according to the user's usage requirements. When the electronic device 1000 is in an open state, the display surface of the display screen 310 faces the user, so that it is convenient for the user to watch.
[0055] For ease of description, in the embodiment of the present application, the length direction of the host 200 is defined as the X direction, the width direction of the host 200 is defined as the Y direction, and the thickness direction of the host 200 is defined as the Z direction. The X direction, the Y direction, and the Z direction are perpendicular to each other.
[0056] The host 200 includes a housing 210 and a keyboard 220. The housing 210 includes a top surface 230, a bottom surface 240 and a side surface 250. The top surface 230 and the bottom surface 240 are arranged relative to each other along the thickness direction of the host 200, that is, they are arranged relative to each other along the Z direction. The side surface 250 is connected between the top surface 230 and the bottom surface 240. The keyboard 220 is installed on the housing 210, and the keycaps of the keyboard 220 are exposed relative to the top surface 230. Exemplarily, when the keyboard 220 is in a natural state (i.e., a state not pressed), the keycaps of the keyboard 220 protrude relative to the top surface 230, so that the user can operate the keyboard 220. In some other embodiments, the keycaps of the keyboard 220 may also be flush with the top surface 230, or the keycaps of the keyboard 220 may also be recessed relative to the top surface 230, i.e., recessed toward the inner side of the housing 210.
[0057] The side surface 250 is provided with an opening 260. The opening 260 connects the inner side and the outer side of the housing 210. In this embodiment, the opening 260 is provided on one of the side surfaces 250 of the housing 210 in the X direction. In other embodiments, the opening 260 may also be provided on the side surface 250 of the housing 210 in the Y direction. The camera device 500 is provided on the inner side of the housing 210. The camera 510 in the camera device 500 is arranged opposite to the opening 260, or at least partially located in the opening 260. When the camera 510 needs to be used, the camera 510 can be taken out from the host 200 through the opening 260.
[0058] In this embodiment, the camera device 500 includes a button 10. The button 10 is disposed in the housing 210 and exposed from the top surface 230 of the housing 210. By pressing the button 10, the camera 510 can be ejected from the opening 260, so that the user can use it conveniently. Exemplarily, the button 10 can be similar to or the same as the keycap structure of the keyboard 220. The button 10 is disposed in the keyboard 220 area and is disposed adjacent to the keycap of the keyboard 220, so that the consistency and aesthetics of the appearance of the electronic device 1000 can be improved.
[0059] It is understandable that when the camera 510 is not needed, the camera 510 can be installed in the housing 210. In this case, the camera 510 is hidden in the host 200, which can prevent the camera 510 from being exposed, making the appearance of the electronic device 1000 more concise, and can also prevent illegal software from using the camera 510 to steal facial images or other information, thereby protecting the user's privacy. When the camera 510 needs to be used, by pressing the button 10, the camera 510 can be popped out from the opening 260, and the user can take the camera 510 out of the host 200, so that the user can use it conveniently.
[0060] The camera device 500 provided in this embodiment is disposed on the host 200 , and there is no need to set the camera 510 on the display screen 310 , which can increase the screen-to-body ratio of the display screen 310 of the electronic device 1000 and enhance the user experience.
[0061] Among them, the camera 510 is provided with a shooting module and a data transmission module (not shown). The shooting module is used for shooting. The data transmission module is electrically connected to the shooting module, and can transmit signals with the host 200 of the electronic device 1000. For example, the photos or videos taken by the shooting module are transmitted to the host 200 through the data transmission module, and the instructions issued by the host 200 can also be transmitted to the shooting module through the data transmission module. Preferably, the data transmission shooting module and the host 200 can be directly electrically connected, or a signal connection can be achieved wirelessly. For example, data transmission is performed between the data transmission module and the host 200 via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc.
[0062] See also Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 3 yes Figure 1 The structural diagram of the camera device 500 in the electronic device 1000 is shown. Figure 4 yes Figure 3 The exploded structural diagram of the camera device 500 is shown in FIG. Figure 5 yes Figure 3 The cross-sectional structure diagram of the camera device 500 along the AA direction is shown.
[0063] The camera device 500 includes a camera head 510 and a telescopic assembly 100. The telescopic assembly 100 includes a base 20, a button 10, a first driving member 40, a second driving member 70 and a connecting rod 50. The first driving member 40 and the second driving member 70 are both disposed on the base 20 and are slidably connected to the base 20. The first driving member 40 can slide along a first direction relative to the base 20, and the second driving member 70 can slide along a second direction relative to the base 20. The connecting rod 50 is rotatably connected to the base 20 and can rotate around a third direction relative to the base 20. One end of the connecting rod 50 is rotatably connected to the first driving member 40, and the other end abuts against the second driving member 70. The button 10 is disposed along the third direction with the first driving member 40 and is slidably connected with the first driving member 40. The camera head 510 is disposed on a side of the second driving member 70 that faces away from the connecting rod 50, and is disposed opposite to the second driving member 70. In addition, the camera head 510 is disposed opposite to the opening 260 disposed on the side 250 of the housing 210.
[0064] When the button 10 is pressed in the third direction and slides relative to the base 20 toward the first driving member 40, the button 10 can push the first driving member 40 to slide toward the connecting rod 50, thereby rotating the connecting rod 50 relative to the base 20. When the connecting rod 50 rotates relative to the base 20, the end of the connecting rod 50 close to the second driving member 70 abuts against the second driving member 70, pushing the second driving member 70 to slide in the second direction away from the connecting rod 50, that is, the second driving member 70 slides toward the direction close to the camera 510, thereby driving the camera 510 to slide away from the second driving member 70 until the camera 510 is exposed from the opening. The user can manually take out the camera 510, thereby separating the camera 510 from the host 200.
[0065] The first direction intersects with the second direction, and both the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to the third direction. In this embodiment, the first direction is parallel to the Y direction, the second direction is parallel to the X direction, and the third direction is parallel to the Z direction. In other embodiments, the first direction may also be parallel to the X direction, and the second direction may be parallel to the Y direction. In this case, the telescopic assembly 100 can push the camera 510 out of the side 250 of the host 200 in the Y direction. No specific restrictions are made on the first direction and the second direction here, as long as the first direction and the second direction intersect and are both perpendicular to the Z direction.

The second opening 234 and the third opening 235 are respectively located at opposite ends of the extending direction of the first installation groove 233. The second opening 234 is located on the side surface 250 of the base 20. The third opening 235 is located at one end of the first installation groove 233 close to the second installation groove 223 and is adjacently arranged with respect to the first opening 224. The first installation groove 233 is communicated with the second installation groove 223. The first installation groove 233 is used for installing the second driving member 70.
[0069] In some other embodiments, the first installation groove 233 and the second installation groove 223 may also be recessed on the surface of the base 20.
[0070] The base 20 further includes a first rotating shaft 24. The first rotating shaft 24 is arranged on the top surface 230 of the base plate 21 and is located between the first installation groove 233 and the second installation groove 223. The axial direction of the first rotating shaft 24 is parallel to the Z direction. The first rotating shaft 24 is used for installing the connecting rod 50 so that the connecting rod 50 is rotatably connected to the base 20.
[0071] Wherein, the base 20 can be fixed to the housing 210 or the main board. Or, the base 20 can also be integrated with the housing 210, that is, the base 20 can be a part of the housing 210. When the base 20 is arranged on the housing 210, the third opening 235 is oppositely arranged with respect to the opening 260 arranged on the side surface 250 of the housing 210 and is communicated with each other.

When the first fixing column 25 and the first fixing hole 33 are multiple, the first fixing hole 33 and the first fixing column 25 are arranged one by one, and one first fixing column 25 is arranged in one first fixing hole 33 to improve the connection stability between the first mounting plate 30 and the base 20. In some other embodiments, the first mounting plate 30 may also be fixedly connected to the base plate 21 by bolts, or the first mounting plate 30 and the base 20 may also be fixedly connected by welding, bonding, clamping, etc.
[0074] It should be noted that the first mounting plate 30 can also be understood as a part of the base 20. In one embodiment, the first slide groove 31 can also be directly provided on the bottom wall of the second mounting groove 223, and the guide rail 32 is connected to the side wall of the second mounting groove 223. In this case, the base 20 does not need to be provided with the first fixing column 25. In this way, the structure of the telescopic assembly 100 and the camera device 500 can be simplified.
[0075] See also Figure 8 , Figure 8 yes Figure 7 A schematic structural diagram of the first driving member 40 in the camera device 500 is shown.
[0076] The first driving member 40 includes a body 41, a sliding body 42 and a second rotating shaft 43. The body 41 includes a first top surface 411, a first bottom surface 412 and a first inclined surface 413. The first top surface 411 and the first bottom surface 412 are arranged opposite to each other along the Z direction. One end of the first inclined surface 413 is connected to the first top surface 411, and the other end is inclined toward the first bottom surface 412. The first inclined surface 413 intersects with the XY plane, that is, the angle between the first inclined surface 413 and the XY plane is greater than 0 degrees and less than 90 degrees.
[0077] The second rotating shaft 43 is arranged on the first bottom surface 412. The extension direction of the second rotating shaft 43 is parallel to the Z direction. The second rotating shaft 43 is used to be rotatably connected with the connecting rod 50. The sliding body 42 is connected to the first bottom surface 412 and is spaced apart from the second rotating shaft 43. The sliding body 42 is provided with a second slide groove 421. The extension direction of the second slide groove 421 is parallel to the Y direction and matches the structure of the guide rail 32. In this embodiment, there are two sliding bodies 42. The two sliding bodies 42 are parallel and spaced apart along the X direction. Each sliding body 42 is provided with a second slide groove 421. Each second slide groove 421 corresponds to a guide rail 32.
[0078] Combination Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the first driving member 40 is slidably connected to the first mounting plate 30. The first bottom surface 412 faces the first mounting plate 30, the sliding body 42 is installed in the first slide groove 31, and the guide rail 32 is located in the second slide groove 421. The sliding body 42 can slide in the first slide groove 31 relative to the first mounting plate 30 along the Y direction. The inner wall of the second slide groove 421 can slide along the guide rail 32. The second rotating shaft 43 is located on a side of the second mounting groove 223 close to the first opening 224.
[0079] The first slide groove 31 and the guide rail 32 both guide the sliding of the first driving member 40, and can improve the stability of the first driving member 40 sliding relative to the first mounting plate 30 along the Y direction. At the same time, by providing the guide rail 32 on the first mounting plate 30, providing the second slide groove 421 on the first driving member 40, and installing the guide rail 32 in the second slide groove 421, it can also limit the first driving member 40 in the Z direction, and can reduce or even prevent the first driving member 40 from moving relative to the first mounting plate 30 in the Z direction, thereby improving the connection stability between the first driving member 40 and the first mounting plate 30.
[0080] See also Fig. 9 , Fig. 9 yes Figure 4 A schematic structural diagram of the button 10 in the camera device 500 is shown.
[0081] The key 10 includes a pressing portion 11 and a driving portion 12. The pressing portion 11 is a plate-like structure. In the present embodiment, the pressing portion 11 is a rectangular plate, and the appearance of the pressing portion 11 is the same as or similar to the appearance of the keycap of the keyboard 220. In other embodiments, the pressing portion 11 may also be a circular plate or a plate of other shapes. The pressing portion 11 includes a second top surface 111 and a second bottom surface 112. The second top surface 111 and the second bottom surface 112 are arranged opposite to each other along the thickness direction of the pressing portion 11. The driving portion 12 is connected to the second bottom surface 112. The driving portion 12 includes a second inclined surface 121. The second inclined surface 121 intersects with the XY plane. The inclination angle of the second inclined surface 121 is the same as or approximately the same as the inclination angle of the first inclined surface 413.
[0082] like Figure 5 As shown, the button 10 abuts against the first driving member 40 and can push the first driving member 40 to slide along the Y direction. Among them, the driving part 12 faces the second mounting groove 223, and the second inclined surface 121 is parallel to and in contact with the first inclined surface 413. When the button 10 is in a natural state, that is, when it is not pressed, the pressing part 11 is spaced apart from the first boss 22, that is, there is a gap between the pressing part 11 and the first boss 22. When the pressing part 11 is pressed toward the negative direction of the Z direction, the driving part 12 moves toward the negative direction of the Z axis, and the second inclined surface 121 applies a force F to the first inclined surface 413. The force F is perpendicular to the first inclined surface 413 and faces the first inclined surface 413. It can be understood that the force F has a component force along the negative direction of the Y axis, which can drive the first driving member 40 to slide along the negative direction of the Y axis, that is, slide toward the direction close to the connecting rod 50. In other words, by pressing the button 10, the first driving member 40 can be driven to slide toward the connecting rod 50.
[0083] In this embodiment, by setting a first inclined surface 413 on the first driving member 40 and a second inclined surface 121 on the key 10, the force acting on the key 10 along the Z direction can be converted into the force acting on the first driving member 40 along the Y direction, so that the user can press the key 10 along the Z direction to drive the first driving member 40 to move along the Y direction, thereby facilitating the user's operation.
[0084] Please combine Fig. 9 and Fig.10 , Fig.10 yes Figure 3 The cross-sectional structure diagram of the camera device 500 along the BB direction is shown.
[0085] The key 10 further includes a stopper 13. The stopper 13 is connected to the second bottom surface 112 and is disposed opposite to the first boss 22. When the key 10 is in a pressed state, the stopper 13 contacts or has a small gap with the top surface 230 of the first boss 22. The stopper 13 protects the pressing portion 11 and can prevent the pressing portion 11 from directly contacting the first boss 22, thereby reducing or even preventing deformation of the pressing portion 11.
[0086] In the actual design process, by adjusting the thickness of the stopper 13, the stroke of the key 10 from the natural state to the pressed state along the Z direction can be adjusted, so that the stroke of the first driving member 40 moving along the Y direction can be adjusted to adjust the rotation angle of the connecting rod 50, thereby adjusting the stroke of the second driving member 70 along the X direction, and then adjusting the distance the camera 510 is pushed out. For example, by reducing the thickness of the stopper 13, the stroke of the key 10 from the natural state to the pressed state along the Z direction can be increased, so that the stroke of the first driving member 40 moving along the Y direction can be increased, and the rotation angle of the connecting rod 50 can be increased, so that the stroke of the second driving member 70 along the X direction can be increased, and the distance the camera 510 is pushed out can be increased. By increasing the thickness of the stopper 13, the stroke of the key 10 from the natural state to the pressed state along the Z direction can be reduced, so that the stroke of the first driving member 40 moving along the Y direction can be reduced, and the rotation angle of the connecting rod 50 can be reduced, so that the stroke of the second driving member 70 along the X direction can be reduced, and the distance the camera 510 is pushed out can be reduced.
[0087] Please continue reading Fig.10 The telescopic assembly 100 further includes a second elastic member 1. In this embodiment, the second elastic member 1 is a spring. The second elastic member 1 is disposed between the button 10 and the first boss 22. When the button 10 is in a pressed state, the second elastic member 1 is in a compressed state and generates an elastic restoring force. The elastic restoring force can drive the button 10 to move away from the base 20, thereby resetting the button 10, that is, restoring the button 10 to a natural state.
[0088] In this embodiment, the second elastic member 1 is fixedly connected to the button 10. Exemplarily, the second bottom surface 112 of the button 10 is provided with a second fixing column 14, and the second elastic member 1 is sleeved on the second fixing column 14 and fixedly connected to the button 10. The first boss 22 is provided with a mounting hole 26. One end of the second elastic member 1 facing away from the button 10 is arranged in the mounting hole 26. In other embodiments, the second elastic member 1 can also be directly sleeved on the outer periphery of the second fixing column 14, and is not fixedly connected to the second fixing column 14.
[0089] See also Fig.11 , Fig.11 yes Figure 4 A schematic diagram of a partially exploded structure of a camera device 500 is shown.
[0090] The connecting rod 50 includes a first end 51 and a second end 52. The first end 51 and the second end 52 are arranged opposite to each other along the length direction of the connecting rod 50. The second end 52 includes a supporting surface 521. It can be understood that the supporting surface 521 is the end surface of the connecting rod 50 facing away from the first end 51. In this embodiment, the supporting surface 521 is an arc surface. The supporting surface 521 is used to support the second driving member 70 to drive the second driving member 70 to slide along the X direction.
[0091] The connecting rod 50 is provided with a first axial hole 53 and a second axial hole 54. The axial directions of the first axial hole 53 and the second axial hole 54 are parallel to the Z direction. The second axial hole 54 is provided at the first end 51 of the connecting rod 50. In the present embodiment, the second axial hole 54 is a through hole and penetrates the connecting rod 50 along the Z direction. In other embodiments, the second axial hole 54 may also be a blind hole, and the second axial hole 54 penetrates the surface of the connecting rod 50 in the positive direction of the Z axis. The second axial hole 54 is used to install the second rotating shaft 43 of the second driving member 70 so that the connecting rod 50 can rotate around the second rotating shaft 43. The first axial hole 53 is a through hole and penetrates the connecting rod 50 along the Z direction. The first axial hole 53 and the second axial hole 54 are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the connecting rod 50, and the first axial hole 53 is located between the second axial hole 54 and the second end 52. The first axial hole 53 is used to be rotatably connected to the base 20.
[0092] Please combine Figure 3 and Figure 4 The connecting rod 50 is rotatably connected to the base 20 and the first driving member 40. The first rotating shaft 24 is inserted into the first shaft hole 53, and the connecting rod 50 can rotate relative to the base 20 around a rotating shaft 400. The first end 51 faces the first driving member 40, and the second rotating shaft 43 of the first driving member 40 is inserted into the second shaft hole 54, and the connecting rod 50 can rotate relative to the first driving member 40 around the second rotating shaft 43. The second end 52 faces the second driving member 70, and the abutting surface 521 contacts the second driving member 70 and abuts the second driving member 70.
[0093] When the button 10 is pressed to rotate the first driving member 40 toward the connecting rod 50, the first rotating shaft 24 of the first driving member 40 applies a force to the first end 51 of the connecting rod 50, so that the connecting rod 50 rotates relative to the base 20 around the first rotating shaft 24, so that the first end 51 and the second end 52 rotate in opposite directions, and the first end 51 rotates relative to the first driving member 40 around the second rotating shaft 43, and the abutting surface 521 of the second end 52 abuts against the second driving member 70 and slides along the surface of the second driving member 70, thereby pushing the second driving member 70 to slide along the X direction toward away from the connecting rod 50, so as to push the camera 510 to move toward the outside of the shell 210.
[0094] In this embodiment, by setting the supporting surface 521 as a curved surface, the smoothness of the sliding of the supporting surface 521 along the surface of the second driving member 70 can be improved, thereby improving the smoothness of the connecting rod 50 pushing the second driving member 70 to move along the X direction, and improving the smoothness and stability of the movement of the telescopic assembly 100.
[0095] like Figure 4As shown, the telescopic assembly 100 also includes a first elastic member 2. In this embodiment, the first elastic member 2 is a torsion spring. One end of the first elastic member 2 is fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 24, and the other end is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 50. When the connecting rod 50 rotates around the first rotating shaft 24, the first elastic member 2 is deformed and generates an elastic restoring force. The elastic restoring force in turn acts on the connecting rod 50, thereby providing a damping force for the rotation of the connecting rod 50.
[0096] It can be understood that when the button 10 is pressed and the connecting rod 50 is driven to rotate by the first driving member 40, the first elastic member 2 is twisted and a torsional force is generated, and the torsional force in turn acts on the connecting rod 50, thereby acting on the button 10 through the first driving member 40, thereby providing the user with a pressing feel, allowing the user to obtain pressing feedback, and improving the user's usage experience.
[0097] See also Fig.12 , Fig.12 yes Figure 4 A schematic diagram of a partially exploded structure of a camera device 500 is shown.
[0098] The telescopic assembly 100 further includes a second mounting plate 60. The second mounting plate 60 is provided with a guide groove 601. The extension direction of the guide groove 601 is parallel to the X direction. The second mounting plate 60 is installed in the first mounting groove 233 and is fixedly connected to the base 20. The second mounting plate 60 is used to install the second driving member 70, and the second driving member 70 is slidably connected to the second mounting plate 60.
[0099] It should be noted that the second mounting plate 60 can also be understood as a part of the base 20. In one embodiment, the guide groove 601 can also be directly provided on the bottom wall of the first mounting groove 233 to simplify the structure of the telescopic assembly 100 and the camera device 500.
[0100] Please combine Fig.13 , Fig.13 yes Fig.12 A schematic structural diagram of the second driving member 70 in the camera device 500 is shown.
[0101] The second driving member 70 includes a first side surface 71, a second side surface 72, a third top surface 73 and a third bottom surface 74. The third top surface 73 and the third bottom surface 74 are disposed opposite to each other along the Z direction. The first side surface 71 and the second side surface 72 are disposed opposite to each other along the X direction, and are both connected between the third top surface 73 and the third bottom surface 74. The second driving member 70 includes a sliding post 75. The sliding post 75 is connected to the third bottom surface 74, and the structure of the sliding post 75 matches the structure of the guide groove 601.
[0102] Please combine Figure 3 and Figure 4The second driving member 70 is disposed in the first mounting groove 233 and is slidably connected to the second mounting plate 60. The third bottom surface 74 faces the second mounting plate 60. The sliding column 75 is installed in the guide groove 601 and can slide relative to the second mounting plate 60 along the guide groove 601. The first side surface 71 faces the connecting rod 50, and the second side surface 72 faces the camera 510.
[0103] In this embodiment, a guide groove 601 is provided on the second mounting plate 60, and a sliding column 75 is provided on the second driving member 70, so that when the second driving member 70 slides, the sliding column 75 can slide along the guide groove 601, thereby guiding the sliding of the second driving member 70, so that the second driving member 70 can move according to a predetermined motion trajectory, avoiding deviation of the motion trajectory of the second driving member 70, and improving the sliding stability of the second driving member 70 relative to the base 20.
[0104] The telescopic assembly 100 also includes a first magnetic member 61 and a second magnetic member 62. The first magnetic member 61 is arranged on the first side 71 and is fixedly connected to the second driving member 70. The second magnetic member 62 is arranged on the surface of the first mounting groove 233 and is arranged opposite to the first magnetic member 61 along the Y direction. That is, the second magnetic member 62 is fixed to the extension boss 232. The first magnetic member 61 and the second magnetic member 62 can attract each other. The first magnetic member 61 and the second magnetic member 62 can be magnets or metals with magnetism, such as iron, cobalt, nickel, iron alloy, cobalt alloy or nickel alloy. In this embodiment, the first magnetic member 61 and the second magnetic member 62 are both magnets and can attract each other. In other embodiments, the first magnetic member 61 is a magnet and the second magnetic member 62 is a metal with magnetism. Alternatively, the first magnetic member 61 is a metal with magnetism and the second magnetic member 62 is a magnet.
[0105] In this embodiment, by providing the first magnetic member 61 and the second magnetic member 62 , the second driving member 70 can be adsorbed to the base 20 , thereby preventing the second driving member 70 from shaking relative to the base 20 and preventing the second driving member 70 from falling off the base 20 .
[0106] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the telescopic assembly 100 further includes a cover plate 63. The cover plate 63 covers the first mounting groove 233 and is fixedly connected to the second boss 23. That is, the cover plate 63 is located on the side of the second driving member 70 facing away from the base plate 21. The cover plate 63 limits the second driving member 70 in the Z direction, and can limit the movement of the second driving member 70 in the Z direction, thereby improving the connection stability between the second driving member 70 and the base 20.
[0107] Please continue reading Figure 3The camera 510 and the second driving member 70 are arranged side by side along the X direction and are located on a side of the second driving member 70 close to the second side surface 72. When the second driving member 70 moves along the positive direction of the X axis, it pushes the camera 510 to move along the X direction and toward the opening 260 of the housing 210, so as to be exposed from the opening.
[0108] In this embodiment, a second driving member 70 is provided between the camera 510 and the connecting rod 50 so that when the connecting rod 50 rotates, the second driving member 70 is pushed to slide, thereby pushing the camera 510 to slide, so that the camera 510 pops out. This can prevent the connecting rod 50 from directly contacting the camera 510 and causing damage to the camera 510, thereby protecting the camera 510.
[0109] In one embodiment, the camera 510 may also directly contact the connecting rod 50, that is, the telescopic assembly 100 may also not be provided with the second driving member 70. In this case, when the connecting rod 50 rotates, it directly pushes the camera 510 to slide along the X direction and pop out of the housing 210. In this way, the structure of the telescopic assembly 100 can be simplified, that is, the structure of the camera device 500 and the electronic device 1000 can be simplified.
[0110] See also Figure 4 and Fig.12 , the telescopic assembly 100 also includes a third magnetic member 64 and a fourth magnetic member (not shown). The third magnetic member 64 is disposed on the second side 72 and is fixedly connected to the second drive member 70. The fourth magnetic member is disposed on the surface of the camera 510 facing the second drive member 70. The fourth magnetic member and the third magnetic member 64 attract each other. In this embodiment, by providing the third magnetic member 64 and the fourth magnetic member, a detachable connection between the camera 510 and the second drive member 70 can be achieved. When the camera 510 is stored in the housing 210, the camera 510 can be adsorbed to the second drive member 70, thereby improving the connection stability between the camera 510 and the second drive member 70, avoiding the camera 510 from being disengaged from the housing 210 due to external force, and making the camera device 500 more reliable. When the camera 510 needs to be used, the camera 510 can be separated from the second drive member 70, so that it can be more convenient for users to use.
[0111] like Figure 3 to Figure 4As shown, the camera device 500 is in the initial state, the telescopic assembly 100 is in the initial state, the camera 510 is located in the housing 210, and the third magnetic member 64 and the fourth magnetic member are mutually attracted to each other, so that the camera 510 and the second driving member 70 are detachably connected. When the telescopic assembly 100 is in the initial state, the button 10 is in a natural state, that is, in an unpressed state, and the second inclined surface 121 contacts the first inclined surface 413 or has a small gap. The second driving member 70 is located in the first mounting groove 233, and the first magnetic member 61 and the second magnetic member 62 are magnetically attracted. The extension direction of the connecting rod 50 intersects with the X direction, and the angle between the extension direction of the connecting rod 50 and the X direction is the first angle. The first angle is greater than 0 degrees and less than 90 degrees. The abutting surface 521 of the connecting rod 50 contacts the first side surface 71 of the second driving member 70 or has a small gap. The first elastic member 2 is in a natural state or in a pre-twisted state. Among them, the "natural state" refers to the state where the first elastic member 2 is not deformed and the torsion angle is 0. The “pre-twisted state” refers to a state in which the first elastic member 2 is deformed and has a small twist angle.
[0112] Please also read Fig.14 and Fig.15 , Fig.14 yes Figure 3 The camera device 500 is a schematic structural diagram in another state. Fig.15 yes Fig.14 The cross-sectional structure diagram of the camera device 500 along the CC direction is shown. Fig.14 and Fig.15 The camera devices 500 are shown in a pop-up state.
[0113] When the camera device 500 is in the initial state, the button 10 is pressed to drive the first driving member 40 to slide, the first driving member 40 drives the connecting rod 50 to rotate, and the connecting rod 50 drives the second driving member 70 to slide, thereby driving the camera 510 to slide, and then the camera 510 can be popped out, and the camera device 500 is in a pop-up state.
[0114] Please combine Fig.16 , Fig.16 yes Figure 3 A simplified model diagram of the camera device 500 is shown.
[0115] When the camera device 500 is in the initial state, the button 10 is pressed to move the button toward the negative direction of the Z axis, and the second inclined surface 121 abuts against the first inclined surface 413, so that the first driving member 40 can be driven to slide along the first slide groove 31 toward the connecting rod 50, that is, the first driving member 40 slides toward the negative direction of the Y axis. When the first driving member 40 slides toward the negative direction of the Y axis, the second rotating shaft 43 applies a force to the first end 51 of the connecting rod 50, so that the connecting rod 50 rotates counterclockwise around the first rotating shaft 24, and the angle between the connecting rod 50 and the Y direction gradually decreases, so that the abutting surface 521 abuts against the first side surface 71, and applies a force toward the positive direction of the X axis to the first driving member 40. At the same time, the first elastic member 2 is twisted. When the force applied by the connecting rod 50 to the first driving member 40 is greater than the attraction between the first magnetic member 61 and the second magnetic member 62, the first magnetic member 61 is separated from the second magnetic member 62. The supporting surface 521 continues to support the first side surface 71, causing the second driving member 70 to slide along the guide groove 601 in the direction away from the connecting rod 50, thereby driving the camera 510 to slide in the direction away from the connecting rod 50. When the sliding column 75 of the second driving member 70 moves to one end of the guide groove 601 in the positive direction of the X-axis, the second driving member 70 stops moving, and the camera 510 is exposed from the opening 260 of the shell 210, thereby putting the camera device 500 in a pop-up state.
[0116] like Fig.14 and Fig.15 As shown, when the camera device 500 is in the pop-up state, there is a second angle between the connecting rod 50 and the Y direction. The second angle is greater than 0 degrees and less than 90 degrees, and the second angle is less than the first angle. The first elastic member 2 is in a twisted state. The first magnetic member 61 is separated from the second magnetic member 62, the second driving member 70 is separated from the extension boss 232, and the camera 510 is at least partially exposed from the opening 260 of the housing 210. At this time, the user can manually remove the camera 510 from the host 200.
[0117] It should be noted that after the user stops pressing the button, the button will return to its natural state under the elastic restoring force of the second elastic member 1 .
[0118] When the camera 510 is not needed, the camera 510 can be installed to the shell 210 through the opening 260 of the shell 210, and the camera 510 can be pushed toward the inside of the shell 210, so that the camera 510 pushes the second driving member 70 to slide toward the direction close to the connecting rod 50, and the second driving member 70 acts on the connecting rod 50, so that the connecting rod 50 rotates in a clockwise direction around the first rotating shaft 24, so that the second end 52 of the connecting rod 50 moves toward the negative direction of the Y axis, and the first end 51 moves toward the positive direction of the Y axis, and then the connecting rod 50 pushes the first driving member 40 to slide in the direction away from the connecting rod 50 through the second rotating shaft 43, and the first inclined surface 413 moves toward the second inclined surface 121, so that the telescopic assembly 100 and the camera device 500 are restored to the initial state.
[0119] In the embodiment of the present application, the camera 510 can be stored and popped out by setting the telescopic assembly 100 in the camera device 500, so that the user can store the camera 510 in the housing 210 when the camera 510 is not needed, thereby avoiding the camera 510 from being exposed, ensuring the consistency and aesthetics of the appearance of the electronic device 1000, and protecting the privacy of the user; when the camera 510 is needed, the camera 510 can be popped out by the telescopic assembly 100, so as to facilitate the use of the user. At the same time, the camera 510 in the electronic device 1000 provided in the present embodiment is a detachable camera 510. When the user uses the camera 510, the user can adjust the shooting position and shooting angle of the camera 510 as needed, so as to make it more convenient for the user to use.
[0120] The camera device 500 provided in this embodiment is disposed on the host 200 and does not occupy the space of the display screen 310 , which can increase the screen-to-body ratio of the display screen 310 , is conducive to realizing a full-screen electronic device 1000 , and improves the user experience.
[0121] The telescopic assembly 100 provided in this embodiment can convert the force applied to the button 10 perpendicular to the surface of the shell 210 into a force applied to the first driving member 40 parallel to the surface of the shell 210 by setting a second inclined surface 121 on the button 10 and a first inclined surface 413 on the first driving member 40. At the same time, by setting a connecting rod 50 between the first driving member 40 and the second driving member 70, the first driving member 40 can push the second driving member 70 to slide through the connecting rod 50, so that the second driving member 70 can push the camera 510 to pop out of the shell 210 from the horizontal direction.
[0122] It is understandable that the user can push the camera 510 out from the surface of the shell 210 by pressing the button 10 in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the shell 210, which can facilitate the user's pressing, is more ergonomic, and can enhance the user's experience.
[0123] In the embodiment of the present application, the key 10 can be arranged in the keyboard 220 area of the housing 210, so as to improve the consistency and aesthetics of the appearance of the electronic device 1000, ensure the feel of the user pressing the key 10, and reduce or even avoid the pop-up of the camera 510 caused by the accidental touch of the key 10, which can enhance the protection of the camera 510. It is understandable that when the electronic device 1000 is in the closed state, the display 300 covers the keyboard 220 area and the key 10, which can further avoid the pop-up of the camera 510 caused by the accidental touch of the key 10.
[0124] like Fig.16 As shown, when the pressing force of the key 10 along the Z direction is F1, the force applied to the first driving member 40 along the Y direction is F2, and the angle between the second inclined surface 121 and the Z direction is α, F2=cotα*F1. When the pressing stroke of the key 10 is L3, the stroke of the first driving member 40 along the Y direction is L4, then L4=cotα*L3.
[0125] The distance from the first rotating shaft 24 to the second rotating shaft 43 is L1, and the distance from the first rotating shaft 24 to the abutting surface 521 is L2. L2=N*L1.
[0126] When the camera device 500 switches from the initial state to the pop-up state, the distance of the camera 510 popping out is L, and the angle of the connecting rod 50 rotating is θ. That is, the distance of the second driving member 70 moving along the X direction is L, that is, the distance of the connecting rod 50 moving along the X direction is L. In other words, when the button 10 is pressed, the button 10 drives the connecting rod 50 to move L along the X direction through the first driving member 40.
[0127] Then, L=L2-cosθ*L2=N*L4*(1 / cosθ-1)=N*cotα*L3*(1 / cosθ-1). That is, L=N*(1 / cosθ-1)*L4 =N*cotα(1 / cosθ-1)*L3.
[0128] In this embodiment, by adjusting the distance from the first rotating shaft 24 to the two ends of the connecting rod 50, the distance moved by the second driving member 70 can be adjusted, that is, the distance from which the camera 510 pops out. When N*(1 / cosθ-1) is greater than 1, the distance moved by the second driving member 70 is greater than the distance moved by the first driving member 40. When N*cotα(1 / cosθ-1) is greater than 1, the distance moved by the second driving member 70 is greater than the distance moved by the key 10. In this embodiment, by setting the connecting rod 50, the stroke of the key 10 can be enlarged, so that the pop-up distance of the camera 510 is increased, so that it is convenient for the user to take the camera 510 out of the host 200. It can be understood that when the distance from which the camera 510 pops out meets the requirements, the stroke of pressing the key 10 is smaller, and the space occupied by the key 10 in the Z direction is smaller, which is conducive to the thinning of the electronic device 1000 and can play a labor-saving role.
[0129] For example, when the angle between the second inclined surface 121 and the Z direction is α=45 degrees, N=3, and θ=53 degrees, L=2L3. At this time, the distance moved by the second driving member 70 along the X direction is twice the distance moved by the key 10 along the Z direction, that is, the connecting rod 50 can double the stroke of pressing the key 10. For example, if the stroke of pressing the key 10 along the Z direction is 2 cm, the distance moved by the second driving member 70 along the X direction is 4 cm, that is, the distance that the camera 510 pops out is 4 cm.
[0130] The above are only some embodiments and implementation methods of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application shall be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
