The above-mentioned drawings have shown clear embodiments of this application, which will be described in more detail later. These drawings and textual descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept of this application in any way, but to illustrate the concept of this application to those skilled in the art by referring to specific embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0078] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementations consistent with the present application. Instead, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0079] It should be noted that, in this article, the terms "include", "comprises" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also includes other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. In the absence of further restrictions, an element defined by the sentence "includes a ..." does not exclude the existence of other identical elements in the process, method, article or device including the element. Optionally, components, features, and elements with the same name in different embodiments of the present application may have the same meaning or different meanings, and their specific meanings need to be determined by their explanation in the specific embodiment or further combined with the context in the specific embodiment.

[0080] It should be understood that, although the terms first, second, third, etc. may be used to describe various information in this article, these information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish the same type of information from each other. For example, without departing from the scope of this article, the first information may also be referred to as the second information, and similarly, the second information may also be referred to as the first information. Depending on the context, the word "if" as used herein can be interpreted as "at the time of..." or "when..." or "in response to determination". Furthermore, as used in this article, the singular forms "one", "one" and "the" are intended to also include plural forms, unless there is an opposite indication in the context. It should be further understood that the terms "comprising", "including" indicate that there are the described features, steps, operations, elements, components, projects, kinds, and / or groups, but do not exclude the existence, occurrence or addition of one or at least one other feature, step, operation, element, component, project, kind, and / or group. The terms "or", "and / or", "including at least one of the following" etc. used in this application can be interpreted as inclusive, or mean any one or any combination. For example, “comprising at least one of the following: A, B, C” means “any of the following: A; B; C; A and B; A and C; B and C; A and B and C”, and for another example, “A, B or C” or “A, B and / or C” means “any of the following: A; B; C; A and B; A and C; B and C; A and B and C”. An exception to this definition will only occur when a combination of elements, functions, steps or operations are inherently mutually exclusive in some manner.

[0081] As used herein, the words "if" and "if" may be interpreted as "at the time of" or "when" or "in response to determining" or "in response to detecting", depending on the context. Similarly, the phrases "if it is determined" or "if (stated condition or event) is detected" may be interpreted as "when it is determined" or "in response to determining" or "when detecting (stated condition or event)" or "in response to detecting (stated condition or event)", depending on the context.

[0082] In the subsequent description, the suffixes such as "module", "component" or "unit" used to represent elements are only used to facilitate the description of the present application, and have no specific meanings. Therefore, "module", "component" or "unit" can be used in a mixed manner.

[0083] As described in the background technology, the camera fixing device in the related art has a problem of large cumulative tolerance. The inventors have found that the reason for this problem is that the camera fixing device needs to be assembled together with multiple parts such as decorative parts, back panels and camera barrels, and the decorative parts and the camera barrel are rigidly assembled, which leads to an increase in the cumulative tolerance of the camera fixing device. After the camera fixing device is assembled, the camera barrel is prone to eccentricity relative to the decorative parts.

[0084] In response to the above technical problems, the embodiments of the present application provide a camera fixing device and a smart terminal, wherein a sleeve is set on a flexible component and a positioning frame is assembled on the flexible component, thereby realizing assembly between the sleeve and the positioning frame. Since the flexible component is flexible, the positioning frame can be deformed when assembled with the flexible component to reduce the tolerance between the positioning frame and the flexible component, so that after the camera fixing device is assembled, the sleeve is not easily eccentric relative to the positioning frame.

[0085] The principles and features of the embodiments of the present application are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the scope of the present application.

[0086] The camera fixing device provided in the embodiment of the present application is used to install and fix the camera.

[0087] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The camera fixing device may include a sleeve 100, and the sleeve 100 may be formed with a receiving cavity 101, and the receiving cavity 101 is used to receive the camera to protect and limit the camera. Exemplarily, the receiving cavity 101 may be used to receive the lens of the camera to protect and limit the lens.

[0088] Optionally, refer to Figure 5 The sleeve 100 may include a barrel 103, and the cross section of the barrel 103 may include a circle, an ellipse, a rounded square, a rounded rectangle, a waist shape or other shapes. The shape of the barrel 103 may be adapted to the shape of the camera lens, and improve the limiting effect of the barrel 103 on the lens.

[0089] Optionally, refer to Figure 5 The sleeve 100 may further include a baffle 104, which may be disposed at one end of the sleeve 100 close to the lens. The baffle 104 may be configured with a third through hole 105, which corresponds to the lens so that the lens can collect image or video information through the third through hole 105.

[0090] refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The camera fixing device may further include a flexible component 200, the flexible component 200 includes flexibility, and illustratively, the material of the flexible component 200 may include plastic, rubber, silicone or other flexible materials. When an external force is applied to the flexible component 200, the flexible component 200 may bend or deform.

[0091] The flexible component 200 may be disposed on the periphery of the sleeve 100. Figure 5 The flexible component 200 can be sleeved outside the outer peripheral side wall 102 of the sleeve 100 to assemble the flexible component 200 and the sleeve 100.

[0092] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The camera fixing device may further include a positioning frame 300 , which is disposed on the flexible component 200 , and the positioning frame 300 is used to assemble the whole composed of the sleeve 100 and the flexible component 200 with the smart terminal.

[0093] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 The positioning outer frame 300 may be configured with a first through hole 304 , and the positions of the first through hole 304 and the sleeve 100 correspond. The sleeve 100 may be inserted into the first through hole 304 , so that the positioning outer frame 300 may limit the position of the sleeve 100 .

[0094] Optionally, the hole wall 305 of the first through hole 304 can be spaced apart from the outer peripheral side wall 102 of the sleeve 100 , that is, the hole diameter of the first through hole 304 is larger than the outer diameter of the sleeve 100 , so that the sleeve 100 can be more easily inserted into the first through hole 304 .

[0095] Optionally, refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 , a spacing rib 306 can be constructed on the hole wall 305 of the first through hole 304, and the distance between the end of the spacing rib 306 away from the hole wall 305 of the first through hole 304 and the outer peripheral side wall 102 of the sleeve 100 is smaller than the distance between the hole wall 305 of the first through hole 304 and the outer peripheral side wall 102 of the sleeve 100, that is, the spacing rib 306 protrudes from the hole wall 305 of the first through hole 304, so that after the sleeve 100 is inserted into the first through hole 304, the spacing rib 306 can reduce the interval between the sleeve 100 and part of the hole wall 305 of the first through hole 304, reduce the situation of partial tipping of the sleeve 100 due to the excessive interval between the sleeve 100 and the hole wall 305 of the first through hole 304, and improve the appearance refinement of the camera fixing device.

[0096] refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6The flexible component 200 may be constructed with a first positioning structure 211, and the side of the positioning frame 300 facing the flexible component 200 may be constructed with a second positioning structure 301, and the second positioning structure 301 cooperates with the first positioning structure 211 to position the positioning frame 300 and the flexible component 200.

[0097] In some possible implementations, reference Figure 5 , the first positioning structure 211 may include a first positioning hole. Figure 4 and Figure 6 The second positioning structure 301 may include a positioning column, and the positioning column (the second positioning structure 301 ) is inserted into the first positioning hole (the first positioning structure 211 ) to position the outer frame 300 and the flexible component 200 .

[0098] Since the rigidity of the positioning outer frame 300 is greater than that of the flexible component 200 , the positioning columns on the positioning outer frame 300 are strong and not easily deformed, thereby improving the positioning strength between the positioning outer frame 300 and the flexible component 200 .

[0099] Optionally, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The first positioning hole (first positioning structure 211) may include a waist-shaped hole, and the length direction of the first positioning hole is directed from the sleeve 100 to the flexible component 200. The waist-shaped hole can increase the assembly tolerance between the positioning column and the flexible component 200, making it easier to insert the positioning column into the waist-shaped hole.

[0100] It is understandable that in some other possible implementations, the first positioning structure 211 may include a positioning column, and the second positioning structure 301 may include a positioning hole. The positioning column is inserted into the positioning hole, and the positioning frame 300 and the flexible component 200 can also be positioned.

[0101] In the camera fixing device provided in the embodiment of the present application, the positioning outer frame 300 is assembled on the flexible component 200, so as to realize the assembly between the sleeve 100 and the positioning outer frame 300. Since the flexible component 200 includes flexibility, when the positioning outer frame 300 is positioned with the flexible component 200, the flexible component 200 can be deformed to reduce the tolerance between the positioning outer frame 300 and the flexible component 200, so that after the camera fixing device is assembled, the sleeve 100 is not easy to be eccentric relative to the positioning outer frame 300.

[0102] In some embodiments, the flexible component 200 may be a flexible board. For example, the flexible component 200 may include a plastic board, a silicone board, a rubber board, or other flexible boards. The structure of the flexible board is simple and easy to manufacture. The first positioning structure 211 is constructed on the flexible board, and the second positioning structure 301 on the positioning frame 300 cooperates with the first positioning structure 211 on the flexible board to position the positioning frame 300 and the flexible board.

[0103] Since the flexible board is flexible, the flexible board can be deformed when the positioning frame 300 is positioned with the flexible board to reduce the tolerance between the positioning frame 300 and the flexible board, so that after the camera fixing device is assembled, the sleeve 100 is not easy to be eccentric relative to the positioning frame 300.

[0104] In other embodiments, reference Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 The flexible component 200 may include an inner flexible frame 210, and the inner flexible frame 210 may include a plastic frame, a silicone frame, a rubber frame or other flexible frame. The shape of the inner flexible frame 210 is compatible with the shape of the sleeve 100. The inner flexible frame 210 can be surrounded by the periphery of the sleeve 100, that is, surrounded by the outer peripheral side wall 102 of the sleeve 100, so that the inner flexible frame 210 and the sleeve 100 are assembled into a whole.

[0105] When the positioning outer frame 300 and the flexible component 200 are positioned by the second positioning structure 301 and the first positioning structure 211, since the first positioning structure 211 is located at the inner flexible frame 210, when the tolerance between the positioning outer frame 300 and the sleeve 100 is large, the second positioning structure 301 applies an external force to the inner flexible frame 210, causing the inner flexible frame 210 to deform, so as to reduce the tolerance between the positioning outer frame 300 and the sleeve 100.

[0106] Optionally, refer to Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 The flexible component 200 may further include an outer flexible frame 220, which may include a plastic frame, a silicone frame, a rubber frame or other flexible frames. The outer flexible frame 220 is arranged outside the inner flexible frame 210 and is spaced apart from the inner flexible frame 210.

[0107] refer to Figure 5 and Figure 8 , the flexible component 200 may further include at least one first flexible arm group 230, and the first flexible arm group 230 is disposed between the inner flexible frame 210 and the outer flexible frame 220. For example, referring to Figure 5 and Figure 8, the number of the first flexible arm groups 230 between the inner flexible frame 210 and the outer flexible frame 220 may include three.

[0108] It is understandable that the number of the first flexible arm groups 230 between the inner flexible frame 210 and the outer flexible frame 220 may also include one, two, or more than three.

[0109] The first flexible arm group 230 may include at least one first flexible arm 231, and the first flexible arm 231 includes flexibility. For example, the first flexible arm 231 may include a plastic arm, a silicone arm, a rubber arm, or other arms including flexibility. For example, referring to Figure 5 and Figure 8 The first flexible arm group 230 may include two first flexible arms 231. Both ends of the first flexible arm 231 are connected to the inner flexible frame 210 and the outer flexible frame 220 respectively.

[0110] Since the inner flexible frame 210 is connected to the outer flexible frame 220 through the first flexible arm 231, and the first flexible arm 231 and the outer flexible frame 220 are both flexible, compared with the inner flexible frame 210, the maximum deformation that the whole composed of the inner flexible frame 210, the outer flexible frame 220 and the first flexible arm group 230 can withstand is increased, that is, the maximum deformation that the flexible component 200 can withstand is increased, thereby increasing the degree of reduction of the tolerance between the positioning outer frame 300 and the sleeve 100 by the flexible component 200.

[0111] Optionally, the unfolded length of the first flexible arm 231 may be greater than the interval between the inner flexible frame 210 and the outer flexible frame 220. Figure 5 and Figure 8 , the first flexible arm 231 can be in a broken line shape. Of course, the first flexible arm 231 can also include a curved shape, a wavy shape, a zigzag shape or other shapes. The unfolded length of the first flexible arm 231 can be greater than the interval between the inner flexible frame 210 and the outer flexible frame 220 to increase the deformation of the first flexible arm 231, thereby increasing the degree of reduction of the tolerance between the positioning outer frame 300 and the sleeve 100 by the flexible component 200.

[0112] In some embodiments, the number of sleeves 100 in the camera fixing device may include one or at least two. The number of inner flexible frames 210 corresponds to the number of sleeves 100, that is, the number of inner flexible frames 210 is equal to the number of sleeves 100.

[0113] In an implementation in which the number of sleeves 100 includes at least two, at least two sleeves 100 may be spaced apart. Figure 5 and Figure 8, the number of sleeves 100 may include two. It is understandable that the number of sleeves 100 may also include three or more. Each inner flexible frame 210 is arranged around the periphery of the corresponding sleeve 100, and the outer flexible frame 220 is arranged outside at least two inner flexible frames 210. A first flexible arm group 230 is arranged between each inner flexible frame 210 and the outer flexible frame 220, so that the flexible component 200 can reduce the tolerance between at least two sleeves 100 and the positioning frame, so that at least two sleeves 100 are not easily eccentric relative to the positioning outer frame 300.

[0114] Optionally, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 8 The two adjacent inner flexible frames 210 can be arranged at intervals. The flexible component 200 can also include a second flexible arm group 240, and the second flexible arm group 240 is arranged between the two adjacent inner flexible frames 210.

[0115] Optionally, the second flexible arm group 240 may include at least one second flexible arm 241. Figure 5 and Figure 8 The second flexible arm 241 may include two second flexible arms 241. The second flexible arm 241 may include a plastic arm, a silicone arm, a rubber arm or other arms including flexibility. The two ends of the second flexible arm 241 may be connected to two adjacent inner flexible frames 210 respectively. Since the second flexible arm 241 includes flexibility, the second flexible arm 241 may reduce the tolerance between the two adjacent sleeves 100 and the positioning outer frame 300.

[0116] Optionally, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 8 The unfolded length of the second flexible arm 241 may be greater than the interval between two adjacent inner flexible frames 210. For example, referring to Figure 5 and Figure 8 , the second flexible arm 241 can be in a broken line shape. Of course, the second flexible arm 241 can also include a curved shape, a wavy shape, a zigzag shape or other shapes. The unfolded length of the second flexible arm 241 is greater than the interval between two adjacent inner flexible frames 210 to increase the deformation of the second flexible arm 241, thereby increasing the degree of reduction of the tolerance between the two adjacent sleeves 100 and the positioning outer frame 300 by the flexible component 200.

[0117] Optionally, the periphery of the inner flexible frame 210 may include at least one first flexible arm group 230 and at least one second flexible arm group 240 to improve the tolerance adjustment degree of at least two positions around the periphery of the inner flexible frame 210.
