[0076] See also Fig.12 and Fig.13 , Fig.12 for Fig. 9 Schematic diagram of the enlarged structure at D in the middle; Fig.13 for Figure 8 Schematic diagram of the enlarged structure at E in the middle.

[0077] In some embodiments, Figure 3 , Fig.12 and Fig.13 As shown, the camera assembly 120 also includes an elastic seal 126, which is disposed around adjacent brackets 123. The elastic seal 126 is used to seal the adjacent brackets 123. The elastic seal 126 and the bracket 123 are detachably connected and can be deformed in the first direction X.

[0078] In these embodiments, the elastic seal 126 is disposed around and between adjacent brackets 123. The elastic seal 126 and the bracket 123 are detachably connected to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the adjacent brackets 123. The elastic seal 126 is deformably disposed in the first direction X to facilitate the movement of the adjacent brackets 123 to achieve the zooming of the camera assembly 120. The elastic seal 126 seals the adjacent brackets 123 to prevent external dust and impurities from entering the camera assembly 120 and affecting the performance of the camera assembly 120.

[0079] The elastic sealing member 126 is a flexible member, and the elastic sealing member 126 can be bent and deformed in the first direction X. For example, the elastic sealing member 126 is made of silicone material, soft plastic material, fiber material, etc.

[0080] In the extended state, the elastic seal 126 extends synchronously, and in the contracted state, the elastic seal 126 contracts synchronously. The elastic seal 126 also limits the bracket 123 to avoid the problem that the brackets 123 are separated from each other due to the large distance between two adjacent brackets 123.

[0081] Optionally, the elastic sealing member 126 is made of a light-shielding material to improve the problem of external light interfering with the camera assembly 120 .

[0082] Optionally, the third bracket 1233 and one of the first bracket 1231 and the second bracket 1232 are fixedly connected to the elastic seal 126 at one end in the first direction X, and the other end is detachably connected to the elastic seal 126 to facilitate modular preparation of the bracket 123.

[0083] In some embodiments, Figure 3 , Fig.12 and Fig.13 As shown, a step groove 1235 is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the bracket 123 , and the elastic sealing member 126 is detachably embedded in the step groove 1235 at one end in the first direction X.

[0084] In these embodiments, a step groove 1235 is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the bracket 123, and the elastic seal 126 is embedded in the step groove 1235 at one end in the first direction X. When the elastic seal 126 and the bracket 123 are detachable, the sealing reliability of the elastic seal 126 and the bracket 123 is improved, and in the contracted state, the step grooves 1235 of adjacent brackets 123 are mutually enclosed to form a space for accommodating the elastic seal 126, so as to improve the problem that the elastic seal 126 invades between the two brackets 123, resulting in the inability of the bracket 123 to fully contract.

[0085] Specifically, the outer edge of the end surface of the bracket 123 in the first direction X is recessed to form a step groove 1235, the step groove 1235 includes a bottom wall and a side wall, a clamping structure is formed on the bottom wall, and the elastic seal 126 is directly connected to the clamping structure of the bottom wall. The clamping structure can be a clamping groove or a clamping protrusion.

[0086] When the extended state is converted to the contracted state, the side wall stops the elastic seal 126 to prevent the elastic seal 126 from bending toward between the two brackets 123. In the contracted state, the two side walls abut along the first direction X to form a space between the two step grooves 1235 to accommodate the elastic seal 126.

[0087] In some embodiments, Figure 3 , Fig.12 and Fig.13 As shown, the camera assembly 120 further includes a support portion 127 , which includes a support rod 1271 and a support hole 1272 , which are respectively arranged on adjacent brackets 123 . The support rod 1271 extends along the first direction X, and at least a portion of the support rod 1271 is accommodated in the support hole 1272 .

[0088] In these embodiments, the camera assembly 120 also includes a support rod 1271 and a support hole 1272 which are separately arranged on adjacent brackets 123. The support rod 1271 extends along the first direction X, and at least a portion of the support rod 1271 is accommodated in the support hole 1272. During the movement of the adjacent bracket 123, the support portion 127 plays a role in guiding, limiting and supporting the bracket 123. The support portion 127 can improve the problem of the bracket 123 being offset during movement, thereby affecting the performance of the camera assembly 120.

[0089] Optionally, the support rod 1271 and the support hole 1272 are respectively disposed at both ends of the third bracket 1233 in the first direction X, so as to facilitate modular preparation of the third bracket 1233 and to facilitate adjustment of the number of the third brackets 1233. The support rod 1271 is disposed on one of the side surface of the first bracket 1231 facing the third bracket 1233 and the side surface of the second bracket 1232 facing the third bracket 1233, and the support hole 1272 is disposed on the other.

[0090] Optionally, a plurality of support rods 1271 or support holes 1272 may be arranged at intervals on a side surface of the bracket 123 in the first direction X to improve the stability of the bracket 123 during operation.

[0091] Optionally, the end of the support rod 1271 is snap-fitted to the end of the support hole 1272 , so that the support rod 1271 cannot be completely separated from the support hole 1272 .

[0092] Optionally, the rigidity of the support rod 1271 is greater than the rigidity of the elastic sealing member 126 , and the support rod 1271 may be made of metal to enhance the supporting effect of the support rod 1271 .

[0093] In some embodiments, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the camera assembly 120 also includes a light-transmitting decorative plate 128 , which is disposed on the first bracket 1231 , and the lens 122 is located between the light-transmitting decorative plate 128 and the photosensitive chip 121 .

[0094] In these embodiments, the light-transmitting decorative plate 128 is disposed on the first bracket 1231, and the lens 122 is located between the light-transmitting decorative plate 128 and the photosensitive chip 121. External light can enter the lens 122 through the light-transmitting decorative plate 128. The light-transmitting decorative plate 128 protects the lens 122 to increase the service life of the camera assembly 120.

[0095] The light-transmitting decorative plate 128 and the lens 122 are relatively fixedly connected to the second bracket 1232, and there is no need to reserve an anti-collision gap between the light-transmitting decorative plate 128 and the lens 122, so that the camera assembly 120 has a larger zoom range.

[0096] Optionally, the light-transmitting decorative plate 128 and the second bracket 1232 are integrally formed to enhance the structural strength of the second bracket 1232 . Alternatively, the light-transmitting decorative plate 128 is bonded or clamped to the second bracket 1232 .
