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 electronic device of the camera module needs to avoid the maximum range of movement of the camera module, which makes the thickness of the camera decorative ring larger, 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 thickness of the electronic device that cooperates with a movable camera module, thereby reducing the overall thickness of the electronic device.
[0006] An embodiment of the present application provides an electronic device, which may include: a frame, a camera decorative ring arranged in the frame, a rocker assembly, a driving assembly and a base, and the frame is provided with a first through hole in an area corresponding to the camera decorative ring; the camera decorative ring is provided with a slide groove whose length direction is perpendicular to the axis of the camera decorative ring; the first end of the rocker assembly is slidably connected to the camera decorative ring through the slide groove, the second end of the rocker assembly is connected to the driving assembly, and the second end of the rocker assembly and the driving assembly are both arranged on the base; wherein the driving assembly controls the rocker assembly to rotate in a first direction, driving the camera decorative ring to move in a direction away from the base; or, the driving assembly controls the rocker assembly to rotate in a second direction, driving the camera decorative ring to move in a direction close to the base; wherein the first direction is opposite to the second direction.
[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 rocker assembly and the slide groove on the camera decorative ring. This not only ensures that the camera module has enough space for zooming or anti-shake when working, but also reduces the thickness of the camera decorative ring when the camera module is not working, thereby reducing the overall thickness of the electronic device.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0017] 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.
[0018] 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.
[0019] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below through specific embodiments and their application scenarios in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0020] With the development of electronic devices, such as smart phones, consumers have higher and higher requirements for the shooting quality of electronic devices, so the imaging quality of the cameras of electronic devices is getting better and better. In order to meet the needs of more diverse shooting scenes and achieve better imaging quality, the camera can be designed to have a larger focal length adjustment range, that is, the distance from the lens to the image sensor can be adjusted, so that the camera can meet the needs of long-range, close-range and macro imaging at the same time.
[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 frame 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 higher and be thicker, thereby causing 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 frame, the camera decorative ring arranged in the frame, the rocker assembly, the driving assembly and the base, and the frame is provided with a first through hole in the area corresponding to the camera decorative ring; the camera decorative ring is provided with a slide groove whose length direction is perpendicular to the axis of the camera decorative ring; the first end of the rocker assembly is slidably connected with the camera decorative ring through the slide groove, the second end of the rocker assembly is connected with the driving assembly, and the second end of the rocker assembly and the driving assembly are both arranged on the base; wherein the driving assembly controls the rocker assembly to rotate in a first direction, driving the camera decorative ring to move in a direction away from the base; or the driving assembly controls the rocker assembly to rotate in a second direction, driving the camera decorative ring to move in a direction close to the base; wherein the first direction is opposite to the second direction. In this way, since the camera decorative ring can be moved in a direction away from or close to the base through the cooperation between the rocker assembly and the slide groove on the camera decorative ring, 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 camera decorative ring when the camera module is not working, thereby reducing the thickness of the electronic device.
[0023] It can be understood that the electronic device provided in the embodiment of the present application can achieve the following: when the camera module is working, the camera decorative ring moves away from the base to provide sufficient room for the camera module to move; when the camera module is not working, the camera decorative ring moves toward the base to achieve contraction and reset, which helps to reduce the protruding height of the camera decorative ring when the camera module is not working, thereby improving the appearance of the electronic device as a whole, and the overall structure is relatively simple, does not require multiple sets of gear parts to transmit motion, and does not require excessive material costs.
[0024] The present application embodiment provides an electronic device, such as Figure 2 As shown, the electronic device 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application may include: a frame 210, a camera decorative ring 10 arranged in the frame 210, a rocker assembly 20, a drive assembly 30 and a base 40, and the frame 210 is provided with a first through hole 211 in the area corresponding to the camera decorative ring. The camera decorative ring 10 is provided with a slide groove 12 whose length direction is perpendicular to the axis of the camera decorative ring; the first end of the rocker assembly 20 is slidably connected to the camera decorative ring 10 through the slide groove 12, the second end of the rocker assembly 20 is connected to the drive assembly 30, and the second end of the rocker assembly 20 and the drive assembly 30 are both arranged on the base.
[0025] The driving assembly 30 controls the rocker assembly 20 to rotate in a first direction, thereby driving the camera decorative ring (10) to move away from the base (40); or, the driving assembly 30 controls the rocker assembly 20 to rotate in a second direction, thereby driving the camera decorative ring (10) to move toward the base (40); wherein the first direction is opposite to the second direction.
[0026] In some embodiments of the present application, an extension portion may be provided on the outer wall or the bottom wall of the camera decorative ring, and the above-mentioned slide groove may be provided on the extension portion.
[0027] For example, Figure 2 As shown, an extension portion 11 may be provided on the bottom wall of the camera decorative ring 10 , and a slide groove 12 is provided on the extension portion 11 , the length direction of which is perpendicular to the axis of the camera decorative ring.
[0028] In some embodiments of the present application, the “length direction of the slide groove” may be understood as the length direction of the notch of the slide groove.
[0029] In some embodiments of the present application, the above-mentioned extension portion can be arranged on the side wall or bottom wall of the camera decorative ring.
[0030] Thus, on the one hand, since the extension part can be provided on the bottom wall of the camera decorative ring, the size of the electronic device in the third direction can be saved, wherein the third direction is a direction perpendicular to the axis of the camera decorative ring. On the other hand, since the extension part can be provided on the side wall of the camera decorative ring, the thickness of the electronic device can be further reduced.
[0031] In some embodiments of the present application, the camera decorative ring has a housing cavity for accommodating the camera module.
[0032] In some embodiments of the present application, the axis of the camera decorative ring may be the axis of the above-mentioned accommodating cavity.
[0033] For example, assuming that the camera decorative ring is a cylinder with a through hole, and the through hole is used to accommodate the camera module, then the axis of the camera decorative ring can be the axis of the through hole or the axis of the cylinder.
[0034] In some embodiments of the present application, the axis of the camera decorative ring can also be Figure 2 The center line of the top opening 14 of the middle camera decorative ring 10.
[0035] In some embodiments of the present application, “the first end of the rocker assembly is slidably connected to the camera decorative ring through the above-mentioned slide groove” can be understood as: the first end of the rocker assembly is slidably connected to the slide groove, and the first end of the rocker assembly can slide in the slide groove.
[0036] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 3 As shown, the first end of the rocker assembly 20 is provided with a sliding portion 22, and the sliding portion 22 is slidably arranged in the slide groove 11, so that the first end of the rocker assembly 20 can slide in the slide groove 11 through the sliding portion 22, so that under the restriction of the first through hole 211 on the frame 210, the rocker assembly 20 can drive the camera decorative ring 10 to move toward or away from the base 40.
[0037] In some embodiments of the present application, the camera decoration ring is gap-matched with the first through hole.
[0038] In some embodiments of the present application, a sealing ring may be provided between the camera decorative ring and the first through hole to achieve sealing between the camera decorative ring and the frame.
[0039] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 3 As shown, the above-mentioned sliding groove can be a through groove arranged on the extension part 11, and the above-mentioned sliding part passes through the through groove and is stably connected with the through groove through the fixing member 90.
[0040] In some embodiments of the present application, the fixing member may be a nut or a pin, etc.
[0041] In some embodiments of the present application, the free end of the sliding portion has a clamping portion, which is clamped on the outer wall of the sliding groove to achieve a stable connection between the sliding portion and the sliding groove.
[0042] 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, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.
[0043] For example, Figure 2 and Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the first direction is counterclockwise, and the second direction is clockwise. It can be understood that when the driving assembly drives the rocker assembly to rotate counterclockwise, the second end of the rocker assembly can slide from the distal side of the slide slot to the proximal side of the slide slot. It can be seen that during the sliding process, the angle between the rocker assembly and the camera decorative ring becomes larger and larger, and the distance between the camera decorative ring and the second end of the rocker assembly becomes farther and farther, thereby realizing the ejection of the camera decorative ring. Similarly, when the driving assembly drives the rocker assembly to rotate clockwise, the second end of the rocker assembly can slide from the proximal side of the slide slot to the distal side of the slide slot. It can be seen that during the sliding process, the angle between the rocker assembly and the camera decorative ring becomes smaller and smaller, and the distance between the camera decorative ring and the second end of the rocker assembly becomes closer and closer, thereby realizing the pulling back of the camera decorative ring.
[0044] For example, Figure 5 As shown, the driving assembly 30 controls the rocker assembly 20 to rotate counterclockwise. At this time, the movement speed of the first end force of the rocker assembly 20 is V, and the movement speed V can be decomposed into Vx and Vy, wherein Vx is the sliding speed of the first end of the rocker assembly 20 along the length direction of the slide slot 12, and Vy is the movement speed of the first end of the rocker assembly 20 along the axis direction of the camera decorative ring 10. In other words, Vy is the movement speed perpendicular to the frame 210, and is also the movement speed of the camera decorative ring 10 extending out of the frame 210. It should be noted that the distal end of the slide slot refers to the end in the length direction of the slide slot and away from the second end of the rocker assembly, and the proximal end of the slide slot refers to the end in the length direction of the slide slot and close to the second end of the rocker assembly.
[0045] It should be noted that the first direction and the second direction are determined by the installation positions of the drive assembly and the second end of the rocker assembly. Figure 3 The positions shown in the figure are symmetrical, the first direction is clockwise and the second direction is counterclockwise.
[0046] In some embodiments of the present application, the rocker assembly may include at least one rocker. It is understood that a sliding portion is disposed at the first end of each rocker.
[0047] In some embodiments of the present application, the number of rockers in the rocker assembly is not limited. For example, the rocker assembly may include one rocker or two rockers.
[0048] In some embodiments of the present application, the number of slide grooves provided on the camera decorative ring is the same as the number of joysticks in the joystick assembly.
[0049] In some embodiments of the present application, when the slide groove is provided by an extension portion, the number of the extension portions provided on the camera decorative ring is the same as the number of the slide grooves, and one slide groove is provided on each extension portion.
[0050] For example, Figure 3 As shown, when the remote sensing assembly includes two rockers, the camera decorative ring 10 has two extending portions 11 arranged opposite to each other, each extending portion 11 is provided with a slide groove 12, and each slide groove 12 is connected to the first end of a rocker 21 in the remote sensing assembly.
[0051] It should be noted that, when the rocker assembly includes one rocker, the driving assembly may include a driving unit, the first end of the rocker is slidably connected to a slide groove on the camera decorative ring, and the second end of the rocker is connected to the driving unit. When the rocker assembly includes two rockers, the driving assembly may include a driving unit and a linkage rod, the driving unit is connected to the linkage rod, and the second ends of the two rockers are connected to the linkage rod, so that the driving motor can drive the two rocker assemblies to swing or rotate synchronously through the linkage rod.
[0052] In some embodiments of the present application, the driving unit may include a driving unit or a motor.
[0053] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 3 As shown, the rocker assembly 20 may include two rockers 21 arranged opposite to each other, the number of the above-mentioned slide grooves 12 is two, and the two slide grooves 12 are arranged opposite to each other, and the driving assembly 30 may include a driving unit 31 and a linkage rod 32; wherein the first end of each rocker 31 is slidably connected to the camera decorative ring 10 through a slide groove 12; the second ends of the two rockers 21 are connected to the linkage rod 32, and the linkage rod 32 is connected to the output end of the driving unit 31.
[0054] In some embodiments of the present application, the output end of the driving unit may be an output shaft of a motor or a driving motor.
[0055] In some embodiments of the present application, the linkage rod and the output end of the driving unit may be connected via a coupling.
[0056] In some embodiments of the present application, two rockers may be sleeved on the linkage rod.
[0057] In some embodiments of the present application, the two rockers may be welded to the linkage rod.
[0058] In some embodiments of the present application, one end of the linkage rod may be connected to the output end of the driving unit.
[0059] In some embodiments of the present application, the driving unit may be connected to a circuit board of the electronic device.
[0060] 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.
[0061] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 3 As shown, two extensions 11 are symmetrically arranged on the bottom wall of the camera decorative ring 10 , and a slide groove 12 is arranged on each extension 11 , so that each rocker 21 can correspond to a slide groove 12 .
[0062] Thus, when the rocker assembly includes two symmetrically arranged rockers, on the one hand, since the second ends of the two rockers can be linked by a linkage rod, the movement of the two rockers can be kept consistent, thereby ensuring that the camera decorative ring can be smoothly extended and retracted, thereby improving the reliability of the movement of the camera decorative ring. On the other hand, since the two rockers can be driven to rotate by one driving unit, power consumption can be saved and the overall size of the electronic device can be reduced.
[0063] In some embodiments of the present application, Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the electronic device 100 may further include a buffer component 50 . A first end of the buffer component 50 is connected to the camera decorative ring 10 , and a second end of the buffer component 50 is connected to the base 40 ; wherein the buffer component 50 is arranged to avoid the driving assembly 30 .
[0064] In some embodiments of the present application, the buffer component is a buffer spring, a sponge column, a rubber column, a buffer fluid, etc. The buffer fluid can be arranged in a flexible accommodation bag, and the two ends of the flexible accommodation bag are respectively connected to the camera decorative ring and the base.
[0065] 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.
[0066] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 2 As shown, there are two buffer components, and the camera decorative ring 10 has two buffer mounting portions 13 that are arranged opposite to each other; wherein the first end of each buffer component 50 is connected to one buffer mounting portion 13 .
[0067] In some embodiments of the present application, the buffer mounting portion may be a shaft body, and the first end of the buffer spring may be sleeved on the shaft body.
[0068] In some embodiments of the present application, the buffer mounting portion may be a stepped shaft, wherein the area of the shoulder of the stepped shaft is larger than the cross-sectional area of the buffer spring, thereby limiting the axial displacement of the buffer spring.
[0069] It can be understood that after the buffer component is provided, when the camera decorative ring is in the extended state, if the outside of the camera decorative ring is impacted, the buffer spring can buffer the external force, thereby reducing the impact of the external force on the rocker assembly and the drive unit.
[0070] In some embodiments of the present application, when an extension portion is provided on the camera decorative ring, each of the buffer mounting portions may be provided on an extension portion. For example, each buffer mounting portion may be provided at the bottom of an extension portion.
[0071] In some embodiments of the present application, the buffer mounting portion and the extension portion may be fixedly connected or integrally formed.
[0072] In this way, on the one hand, setting up two buffer components can better mitigate the impact of external force on the camera decorative ring, thereby better protecting the rocker assembly and the drive assembly; on the other hand, setting the two buffer components on the buffer mounting portion can increase the connection reliability between the buffer components and the camera decorative ring.
[0073] In some embodiments of the present application, Figures 2 to 6 As shown, a buffer accommodating portion 41 is provided on the base 40 in an area corresponding to each buffer mounting portion 13 ; wherein the second end of each buffer component 50 is connected to the bottom wall of a buffer accommodating portion 41 .
[0074] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 2 , Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the buffer accommodation portion 41 may be a raised accommodation groove. It is understood that the raised accommodation groove may be a groove body extending from the base 40 to the camera decorative ring 10.
[0075] In some embodiments of the present application, the above-mentioned receiving groove and the base can be integrally formed.
[0076] In this way, since a buffer accommodating groove for accommodating 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.
[0077] It should be noted that in the above embodiments, the combined use of the receiving groove and the buffer mounting portion is used as an example for illustration. In actual implementation, the receiving groove or the buffer mounting portion may be used alone, and the specific use may be determined based on actual usage requirements.
[0078] In this way, since a buffer component is arranged between the camera decorative ring and the base, when the camera decorative ring is impacted by external force, such as when the user presses the camera decorative ring, the buffer component can buffer the external force to reduce the retraction displacement and speed of the camera decorative ring, thereby reducing the impact of the external force on the rocker assembly and the drive assembly, thereby improving the stability of the electronic device.
[0079] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the electronic device 100 further includes: at least two bearings 60; wherein the at least two bearings 60 are disposed on the base 40, and the linkage rod 32 is rotatably connected to the at least two bearings 60. In this way, the linkage rod 32 can be supported more stably.
[0080] In some embodiments of the present application, the at least two bearings are distributed sequentially along the output shaft of the drive unit.
[0081] In some embodiments of the present application, the straight line where the at least two bearings are located is parallel to the straight line where the two extension portions are located.
[0082] In this way, since the linkage rod is supported by at least two bearings, it can be ensured that the driving unit can control the rocker assembly to rotate more stably through the linkage rod, thereby driving the camera decorative ring to extend or retract smoothly.
[0083] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 3 As shown, the electronic device 100 may further include a protective lens 70 , wherein the protective lens 70 is disposed at the top opening 14 of the camera decorative ring 10 .
[0084] 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.
[0085] 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.
[0086] In this way, since a protective lens is provided at the top opening of the camera decorative ring, on the one hand, the lighting of the camera module arranged in the accommodating cavity of the camera decorative ring can be ensured, and on the other hand, the camera module can be prevented from being exposed to the environment, thereby playing a role in protecting the camera module.
[0087] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 3As shown, the electronic device 100 may further include: a seal 80 ; wherein the seal 80 is disposed between the protective lens 70 and the camera decorative ring 10 .
[0088] In some embodiments of the present application, the sealing member may be a sealant, such as a double-sided tape.
[0089] In this way, since a seal can be provided between the protective lens and the camera decorative ring, the sealing of the electronic device can be achieved.
[0090] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 2 or Figure 3 As shown, the electronic device (100) further includes: a camera module 220; the camera module 220 is arranged in the accommodating cavity of the camera decorative ring 10.
[0091] In some embodiments of the present application, the camera module can be installed in the area of the base corresponding to the accommodating cavity.
[0092] In some embodiments of the present application, the camera module may be an AF camera module or an OIS camera module.
[0093] The working process of the electronic device provided in the embodiment of the present application is described below.
[0094] When the camera module needs to be extended, Figure 4 As shown, the electronic device 100 can control the driving unit 31 to provide a counterclockwise torque to the rocker assembly 20, driving the rocker assembly 20 to rotate counterclockwise, and through the cooperation between the first end of the rocker 21 group and the slide groove 12 on the camera decorative ring 10, the camera decorative ring 10 is driven to rise along the first through hole 211 on the frame 210, that is, the camera decorative ring 10 is driven to move away from the base 40 to free up the rising space for the lens group in the camera module, and then the camera module can perform optical image stabilization movement or zoom movement. When the camera module needs to be lowered, first the electronic device 100 can control the camera motor or the gimbal to drive the camera module to descend, and then the electronic device can control the driving unit 31 to provide a clockwise torque to the rocker assembly 20, driving the rocker assembly 20 to rotate clockwise, and through the cooperation between the first end of the rocker 21 group and the slide groove 12 on the camera decorative ring 10, the camera decorative ring 10 is driven to descend or retract along the first through hole 211 on the frame 210, that is, the camera decorative ring 10 is driven to move in a direction close to the base 40 until the camera decorative ring 10 retracts to a suitable position to reduce the thickness of the electronic device or the size of the frame extending out of the electronic device.
[0095] In the electronic device provided in the embodiment of the present application, the camera decorative ring can be extended or retracted through the cooperation between the joystick assembly and the slide groove on the camera decorative ring. Therefore, by controlling the extension and retraction of the camera decorative ring, it can not only ensure that the camera module has sufficient space for zooming or anti-shake, but also reduce the extended size of the electronic device when the camera module is in the retracted state, thereby reducing the overall thickness of the electronic device.
