Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of terminal technology, and specifically relates to an electronic device. Background Art

[0002] With the development of terminal technology, users have higher and higher requirements for the shooting functions of electronic devices. For example, users require that the camera module of the electronic device can be zoomed or anti-shake.

[0003] Specifically, the camera module can achieve zooming by moving the lens group, or can achieve anti-shake by moving the lens group and the image sensor.

[0004] However, when the camera module or the lens group of the camera module needs to move, the camera decorative ring of the camera module needs to avoid the maximum movable range of the camera module, so that the thickness of the camera decorative ring is relatively large, thus resulting in a larger thickness of the entire electronic device. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the embodiments of the present application is to provide an electronic device that can reduce the protruding thickness of a camera decorative ring that cooperates with a movable camera module, thereby reducing the overall thickness of the electronic device.

[0006] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides an electronic device, which may include: a camera decorative ring, a crank-connecting rod mechanism, a driving mechanism and a base; the driving mechanism is arranged on the base, the crank-connecting rod mechanism includes a first crank and a first connecting rod, the central axis of the first crank is rotatably connected to the base, and the central axis is connected to the driving mechanism, and the two ends of the first connecting rod are respectively rotatably connected to the handle arm of the first crank and the camera decorative ring; wherein the driving mechanism drives the first crank to rotate in a first direction, increases the angle between the first crank and the first connecting rod, and drives the camera decorative ring to move away from the base; or, the driving mechanism drives the first crank to rotate in the opposite direction of the first direction, reduces the angle between the first crankshaft and the first connecting rod, and drives the camera decorative ring to move toward the base.

[0007] In the embodiment of the present application, the camera decorative ring can be moved away from or close to the base through the cooperation between the crank, the connecting rod and the camera decorative ring. Therefore, it can not only ensure that the camera module has enough space for zooming or anti-shake when working, but also reduce the thickness of the electronic device when the camera module is not working, thereby reducing the overall thickness of the electronic device.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments in the present application belong to the scope of protection of this application.

[0019] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchangeable under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described here, and the objects distinguished by "first", "second", etc. are generally of one type, and the number of objects is not limited. For example, the first object can be one or more. In addition, "and / or" in the specification and claims represents at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the objects associated with each other are in an "or" relationship.

[0020] The electronic device provided in the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below through specific embodiments and application scenarios in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0021] Currently, both the automatic focus (AF) camera module and the optical image stabilization (OIS) camera module can use motors to achieve the movement of the lens group or camera module. Figure 1 As shown, because the lens group or camera module is movable, the entire housing of the electronic device needs to avoid the maximum movable space related to the camera module, which causes the camera decorative ring 02 on the back of the electronic device 01 to protrude larger, which in turn causes the thickness of the electronic device to be larger.

[0022] In order to solve the above technical problems, the embodiment of the present application provides an electronic device, the camera decorative ring, a crank connecting rod mechanism, a driving mechanism and a base; the driving mechanism is arranged on the base, the crank connecting rod mechanism includes a first crank and a first connecting rod, the middle axis of the first crank is rotatably connected to the base, and the middle axis is connected to the driving mechanism, and the two ends of the first connecting rod are respectively rotatably connected to the handle arm of the first crank and the camera decorative ring; wherein the driving mechanism drives the first crank to rotate in a first direction, increases the angle between the first crank and the first connecting rod, and drives the camera decorative ring to move in a direction away from the base; or, the driving mechanism drives the first crank to rotate in the opposite direction of the first direction, reduces the angle between the first crank and the first connecting rod, and drives the camera decorative ring to move in a direction close to the base. In this way, due to the cooperation between the crank and the connecting rod, the camera decorative ring can be moved in a direction away from or close to the base, so that it can not only ensure that the camera module has enough space for zooming or anti-shake when working, but also can reduce the extension size of the camera decorative ring extending out of the frame of the electronic device when the camera module is not working, thereby reducing the thickness of the entire electronic device.

[0023] The present application embodiment provides an electronic device, Figure 2A schematic diagram of the structure of an electronic device 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown. Figure 2 As shown, the electronic device 100 may include: a camera decorative ring 10, a crank-connecting rod mechanism 20, a driving mechanism 30 and a base 40; the driving mechanism 30 is arranged on the base 40, the crank-connecting rod mechanism 20 includes a first crank 21 and a first connecting rod 22, the central axis 211 of the first crank 21 is rotatably connected to the base 40, and the central axis is connected to the driving mechanism 30, and the two ends of the first connecting rod 22 are respectively rotatably connected to the handle arm 212 of the first crank 21 and the camera decorative ring 10.

[0024] Among them, the driving mechanism 30 drives the first crank 21 to rotate in the first direction, increases the angle between the first crank 21 and the first connecting rod 22, and drives the camera decorative ring 10 to move in the direction away from the base 40; or, the driving mechanism 30 drives the first crank 21 to rotate in the opposite direction of the first direction, reduces the angle between the first crankshaft and the first connecting rod 22, and drives the camera decorative ring 10 to move in the direction close to the base 40.

[0025] It should be noted that when the camera decorative ring moves away from the base, the distance between the camera decorative ring and the base increases, thereby freeing up a larger extension space for the camera in the electronic device to facilitate zooming or focusing of the camera module; when the camera decorative ring moves toward the base, the size of the camera decorative ring extending out of the frame of the electronic device decreases, for example, the camera decorative ring can be completely retracted into the frame, thereby reducing the thickness of the electronic device.

[0026] In some embodiments of the present application, the driving mechanism may be fixed to the base via a first fixing member, wherein the first fixing member may be a screw, a pin or any other possible fixing member.

[0027] In some embodiments of the present application, the driving mechanism may be any power mechanism that can provide torque to the crank-connecting rod mechanism.

[0028] For example, the driving mechanism may include any of the following: a brushless motor, a DC motor, a servo motor, a stepper motor, an asynchronous motor, etc.

[0029] In some embodiments of the present application, the middle shaft of the first crank and the driving mechanism can be fixed and connected via a coupling, so as to improve the connection reliability between the middle shaft and the driving mechanism and reduce the rotation error.

[0030] In some embodiments of the present application, the driving mechanism may be connected to a circuit board in the electronic device.

[0031] Among them, the above-mentioned circuit board can be a flexible printed circuit (FPC) or a printed circuit board (PCB), which can be determined according to actual usage requirements.

[0032] In some embodiments of the present application, the middle axis of the first crank may be connected to the base via a bearing.

[0033] For example, a bearing may be provided at a position of the base corresponding to the middle axis of the first crank, and then the middle axis of the first crank is rotatably connected to the bearing.

[0034] In some embodiments of the present application, the handle arm of the first crankshaft and the first connecting rod may be connected via a second fixing member, and the first connecting rod and the base may be connected via a third fixing member.

[0035] The second fixing member and the third fixing member may be any one of the following: a pin, a rivet, or a screw.

[0036] In some embodiments of the present application, the two ends of the first connecting rod can be rotatably connected to the handle arm of the first crank and the camera decorative ring through a connecting shaft respectively.

[0037] For example, a connecting shaft perpendicular to the connecting rod can be provided at both ends of the first connecting rod, a connecting hole connected to the connecting shaft is provided on the handle arm of the first crank, and a connecting hole connected to the connecting shaft is also provided on the camera decorative ring. Thus, the connecting shafts at both ends of the first connecting rod can be respectively inserted into the connecting holes on the handle arm and the connecting holes on the camera decorative ring, and then fasteners are provided at the free ends of the connecting shafts to limit the axial displacement of the connecting shafts.

[0038] Of course, connecting holes can also be set on both ends of the first connecting rod, the handle arm of the first crank and the camera decorative ring, and then the rotational connection between one end of the first connecting rod and the handle arm of the first crank, and the other end of the first connecting rod and the camera decorative ring can be achieved through fixing parts.

[0039] In some embodiments of the present application, the first direction may be a clockwise direction, and the second direction may be a counterclockwise direction; or, the first direction may be a counterclockwise direction, and the second direction may be a clockwise direction.

[0040] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 2 ,like Figure 3As shown, the crank-connecting rod mechanism 20 may further include: a second crank 23 and a second connecting rod 24. The first crank 21 and the second crank 23 are both gear cranks, and the first crank 21 is gear-engaged with the second crank 23, the middle axis 231 of the second crank 23 is rotatably connected to the base 40, and the two ends of the second connecting rod 24 are rotatably connected to the handle arm 232 of the second crank 23 and the camera decorative ring 10 respectively.

[0041] It can be seen that Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the edge of the first crank 21 is provided with a plurality of first teeth and a handle arm; adaptively, the edge of the second crank 23 is provided with a plurality of second teeth and a handle arm, wherein the first teeth mesh with the second teeth.

[0042] It can be understood that the first crank and the second crank can form a gear pair.

[0043] Specifically, Figure 3 As shown, when the driving mechanism 30 drives the first crank 21 to rotate clockwise, the first crank 21 can drive the second crank 23 to rotate counterclockwise, thereby increasing the angle between the first connecting rod 22 and the first crank 21, and increasing the angle between the second crank 23 and the second connecting rod 24, so that the camera decorative ring 10 can be driven to move upward, that is, away from the base 40.

[0044] Similarly, when the driving mechanism drives the first crank to rotate counterclockwise, the first crank can drive the second crank to rotate clockwise, thereby increasing the angle between the first connecting rod and the first crank, and reducing the angle between the second crank and the second connecting rod, thereby driving the camera decorative ring downward, that is, moving closer to the base.

[0045] It should be noted that the second crank and the second connecting rod can support, guide and assist the movement of the camera decorative ring.

[0046] For other descriptions of the second crank and the second connecting rod, refer to the relevant descriptions of the first crank and the first connecting rod in the above embodiments.

[0047] In this way, since the first crank and the second crank can form a gear pair, the stable movement of the camera decorative ring can be achieved through the mechanical cooperation between the first crank, the first connecting rod and the second crank and the second connecting rod, thereby improving the movement reliability and stability of the camera decorative ring.

[0048] In the electronic device provided in the present application, the camera decorative ring can be moved away from or close to the base through the cooperation between the crank and the connecting rod. Therefore, it can not only ensure that the camera module has enough space for zooming or anti-shake when working, but also reduce the size of the camera decorative ring extending out of the frame of the electronic device when the camera module is not working, thereby reducing the overall thickness of the electronic device.

[0049] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the electronic device 100 may further include a guide mechanism 50; the guide mechanism 50 is disposed on the base 40, and the guide mechanism 50 is movably connected to the camera decorative ring 10, and the guide mechanism 50 is disposed to avoid the crank-connecting rod mechanism 20; wherein, when the first crank 21 rotates, the guide mechanism 50 limits the moving direction of the camera decorative ring 10.

[0050] In some embodiments of the present application, the guide mechanism may be disposed adjacent to the crank-connecting rod mechanism, and / or the guide mechanism and the crank-connecting rod mechanism may be disposed opposite to each other.

[0051] In this way, the moving direction of the camera decorative ring can be guided and restricted by the guiding mechanism, so that the circumferential displacement of the camera decorative ring can be avoided, thereby improving the movement reliability of the camera decorative ring.

[0052] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 5 As shown, the guide mechanism 50 may include two third cranks 51 and two third connecting rods 52, the two third cranks 51 are gear cranks, the two third cranks 51 are gear-engaged, and the central axis 511 of each third crank 51 is rotatably connected to the base 40, and the two ends of each third connecting rod 52 are respectively rotatably connected to the handle arm of a third crank 51 and the camera decorative ring 10.

[0053] It can be understood that the guide mechanism can also be called a driven mechanism, that is, when the crank-connecting rod mechanism drives the camera decorative ring to move, the guide mechanism can perform corresponding movements driven by the camera decorative ring to guide and limit the moving direction of the camera decorative ring.

[0054] It should be noted that since the two third crank gears are meshing, when the driving mechanism stops driving the crank-connecting rod mechanism to rotate, the gear pair formed by the two third cranks can play a limiting role, thereby achieving auxiliary support for the camera decorative ring, so that the position of the camera decorative ring remains stable under the support of the crank-connecting rod mechanism and the guide mechanism.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present application, the sizes of the third crank, the second crank and the first crank may be the same, and the sizes of the first connecting rod, the second connecting rod and the third connecting rod may be the same.

[0056] In this way, since the crank-connecting rod mechanism can be used as a guiding mechanism, it is possible not only to guide and limit the moving direction of the camera decorative ring, but also to provide good support for the camera decorative ring.

[0057] In some embodiments of the present application, the number of the guide mechanism may be at least one, and the at least one guide mechanism and the crank-connecting rod mechanism are evenly distributed along the circumference of the camera decorative ring.

[0058] For example, when the electronic device includes a guide mechanism, the guide mechanism and the crank-connecting rod mechanism are symmetrically arranged.

[0059] For example, Figure 4 As shown, the number of the guide mechanisms 50 may be three, and the three guide mechanisms 50 and the crank-connecting rod mechanisms 20 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the camera decorative ring 10 .

[0060] In some embodiments of the present application, when each guide mechanism includes two third cranks and two third connecting rods, compared with setting up one guide mechanism, setting up multiple guide mechanisms can achieve stable support for the camera decorative ring.

[0061] In this way, by using at least one guide mechanism and crank-connecting rod mechanism evenly distributed along the circumference of the camera decorative ring, stable support, guidance and movement of the camera decorative ring can be achieved, thereby further improving the reliability of movement and position retention of the camera decorative ring provided in the embodiment of the present application.

[0062] In some embodiments of the present application, the guide mechanism may include: a guide rail and a slider slid on the guide rail; one end of the guide rail is fixed on the base, and the guide rail is parallel to the axis of the camera decorative ring, and the slider is fixedly connected to the camera decorative ring.

[0063] In some embodiments of the present application, the slider can be welded to the camera decorative ring, or formed integrally with it.

[0064] It will be appreciated that the guide rail is perpendicular to the base.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present application, the guide rail can be welded to the base, or can be fixed to the base by fasteners such as screws.

[0066] In this way, since the slide rail and the slider can be used as the guide mechanism, the reaction force of the guide mechanism on the movement of the camera decorative ring, such as friction, can be reduced, so that the power consumption of the driving mechanism to drive the camera decorative ring to move can be reduced.

[0067] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the electronic device 100 further includes a buffer component 70. The two ends of the buffer component 70 are respectively connected to the camera decorative ring 10 and the base 40; wherein the buffer component 70 is arranged to avoid the crank connecting rod mechanism 20.

[0068] That is, the buffer component is arranged between the camera decorative ring and the base. It can be understood that after the buffer component is arranged, when the camera decorative ring is in the extended state, that is, when the camera decorative ring is farthest from the base, if the outside of the camera decorative ring is impacted, the buffer spring can be relied on to buffer the external force, thereby reducing the impact of the external force on the first crank connecting rod assembly and the driving mechanism.

[0069] In some embodiments of the present application, the buffer component can be arranged opposite to or adjacent to the crank-connecting rod mechanism, so as to buffer the external force on the camera decorative ring and cooperate with the crank-connecting rod mechanism to provide stable support for the camera decorative ring.

[0070] In some embodiments of the present application, a receiving portion is provided on the base in an area corresponding to the buffer component; the second end of the buffer component may be provided in the receiving portion, such as being connected to the bottom wall of the receiving portion.

[0071] In some embodiments of the present application, the above-mentioned accommodation portion may be a groove arranged on the base, or may be a hollow cylinder extending along the base toward the camera decorative ring.

[0072] In some embodiments of the present application, the above-mentioned receiving groove and the base can be integrally formed.

[0073] In this way, since the receiving portion for receiving the buffer component can be provided on the base, the buffer component can be easily installed and the installation error of the buffer component can be reduced.

[0074] In some embodiments of the present application, the above-mentioned buffer component may include any one of the following: a buffer spring, a fluid buffer, and a solid buffer.

[0075] For example, the fluid buffer may include: an elastic containing bag, and liquid or gas disposed in the elastic containing bag.

[0076] For example, the solid buffer member may be a sponge column, an elastic titanium alloy or a soft rubber column, etc.

[0077] In some embodiments of the present application, a buffer mounting portion is provided at the bottom end of the camera decorative ring, and one end of the buffer component is connected to the camera decorative ring through the buffer mounting portion.

[0078] In some embodiments of the present application, the number of buffer components is not limited. For example, the number of buffer components may be one, two, three, four or more.

[0079] It should be noted that, when there are multiple buffer components, these buffer components can be evenly distributed.

[0080] In this way, providing a buffer component can better mitigate the impact of external force on the camera decorative ring, thereby protecting the crankshaft connecting rod mechanism and the driving mechanism, and further improving the reliability of the electronic device.

[0081] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 4 As shown, the electronic device 100 further includes: a frame 210 and a camera module 230. The camera decorative ring 10, the crank connecting rod mechanism 20, the driving mechanism 30, the camera module 230 and the base 40 are all arranged in the frame 210, and a first through hole 220 for the camera decorative ring 100 to extend or retract is arranged in the region of the frame 210 corresponding to the camera decorative ring 10, and the camera module 230 is arranged corresponding to the first through hole 220.

[0082] It can be understood that the above-mentioned first through hole can play a role in guiding the movement direction of the camera decorative ring.

[0083] In some embodiments of the present application, the camera module can be installed on a base.

[0084] In some embodiments of the present application, the camera module may be an AF camera module or an OIS camera module.

[0085] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the electronic device 100 may further include: a sealing sleeve 60 ; the sealing sleeve 60 is sleeved on the camera decorative ring 10 , one end of the sealing sleeve 60 is connected to the bottom end of the camera decorative ring 10 , and the other end of the sealing sleeve 60 is connected to the frame 210 .

[0086] In some embodiments of the present application, the sealing sleeve may be connected to the camera decorative ring and the frame through an adhesive member, wherein the adhesive member may be glue or solid glue.

[0087] In some embodiments of the present application, the sealing sleeve itself has folds and can expand and contract as the camera decorative ring moves. During the movement of the camera decorative ring, it can ensure that the electronic device and the camera decorative ring are sealed and no liquid enters.

[0088] In some embodiments of the present application, the sealing sleeve may be made of a flexible material, such as silicone or a waterproof breathable membrane.

[0089] In some embodiments of the present application, the sealing sleeve may be made of an elastic material, so that Figure 6 As shown, when the camera decorative ring 10 moves away from the base 40, the sealing sleeve 60 may be compressed; Figure 7 As shown, when the camera decorative ring 10 moves toward the direction close to the base 40, the sealing sleeve 60 can be stretched.

[0090] In this way, since a sealing sleeve is provided between the camera decorative ring and the frame of the electronic device, when the crank-connecting rod mechanism drives the camera decorative ring to move, the sealing sleeve can be used to achieve sealing between the camera module and the frame, thereby preventing foreign matter from entering the frame, thereby protecting the electronic components in the electronic device.

[0091] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the camera decorative ring 10 may include: a decorative ring body 11 and a protective lens 12. The bottom end of the decorative ring body 11 is rotatably connected to the handle arm 212 of the first crank 21, and the protective lens 12 is arranged at the top opening of the decorative ring body 11.

[0092] In some embodiments of the present application, the protective lens may be made of glass or resin, which may be determined based on actual usage requirements.

[0093] In some embodiments of the present application, the light transmittance of the protective lens may be greater than or equal to a preset light transmittance.

[0094] It can be understood that the camera decorative ring can be connected to the guide mechanism through the decorative ring body.

[0095] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 4 As shown, the electronic device 100 may further include: a seal 90 ; wherein the seal 90 is disposed between the protective lens 12 and the camera decorative ring 10 .

[0096] In some embodiments of the present application, the sealing member may be a sealant, such as a double-sided tape.

[0097] In this way, since a seal can be provided between the protective lens and the camera decorative ring, the sealing of the camera decorative ring can be achieved.

[0098] The working principle of the electronic device provided in the embodiment of the present application is described below.

[0099] When the camera module needs to be extended or working, follow the Figure 3, the driving mechanism can provide counterclockwise torque. The driving mechanism drives the first crank 21 to rotate counterclockwise through the coupling, and the driven crank (i.e., the second crank) rotates clockwise due to the meshing of the gears, thereby driving the connected connecting rods to move. The camera decorative ring 10 is sleeved in the first through hole of the frame 21 of the electronic device, which is equivalent to a slider and can slide. Finally, the camera decorative ring 10 moves away from the base, thereby freeing up the movement space of the camera module so that the camera module or the lens group in the camera module can be extended. When the camera module needs to be extended or work, the camera module or the lens group in the camera module can be reset first, such as moving toward the base, and then the driving mechanism provides a clockwise torque to rotate the first crank clockwise and drive the second crank to rotate counterclockwise, thereby driving the connected connecting rods to rotate, so as to drive the camera decorative ring to move toward the base until the camera decorative ring moves to a suitable position.

[0100] It should be noted that when the guide mechanism includes two third cranks and two third connecting rods, when the crank-connecting rod mechanism drives the camera decorative ring to move, the camera decorative ring can drive the guide mechanism to move together, such as increasing or decreasing the angle between the third crank and the third connecting rod.

[0101] In some embodiments of the present application, when the camera decorative ring is in an extended state, if the outside of the camera decorative ring is impacted, a buffer spring arranged between the base and the camera decorative ring can be used for buffering, thereby reducing the impact of external force on the crank and the drive motor.

[0102] In this way, in the electronic device provided in the embodiment of the present application, the crank slider mechanism composed of the crank, the connecting rod and the camera decorative ring ensures that the height of the convex bulge of the camera decorative ring can be maximized under the premise of ensuring the reliability of the camera module. The camera decorative ring is raised only when the camera module is working, and is retracted in its original state, such as being retracted into the frame of the electronic device, thereby fully enhancing the appearance expression and sense of technology of the electronic device.

[0103] In some embodiments of the present application, the above-mentioned electronic device can be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a PDA, a vehicle-mounted electronic device, a mobile Internet device (Mobile Internet Device, MID), an augmented reality (augmentedreality, AR) / virtual reality (virtual reality, VR) device, a robot, a wearable device, an ultra-mobile personal computer (ultra-mobile personal computer, UMPC), a netbook or a personal digital assistant (personaldigital assistant, PDA), etc. It can also be a personal computer (personal computer, PC), a television (television, TV), an ATM or an self-service machine, etc., which have restrictions on the extension size of the camera module, and the embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations.

[0105] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the electronic device 1500 may also include a power source (such as a battery) for supplying power to each component, and the power source may be logically connected to the processor 1500 through a power management system, thereby implementing functions such as managing charging, discharging, and power consumption management through the power management system. Figure 8 The electronic device structure shown in the figure does not constitute a limitation on the electronic device. The electronic device may include more or fewer components than shown in the figure, or combine certain components, or arrange the components differently, which will not be described in detail here.

[0106] It should be understood that in the embodiment of the present application, the input unit 1504 may include a graphics processor (Graphics Processing Unit, GPU) 15041 and a microphone 15042, and the graphics processor 15041 processes the image data of the static picture or video obtained by the image capture device (such as a camera) in the video capture mode or the image capture mode.
