In addition, the term "or" used herein should, depending on the actual situation, possibly include any one or a combination of more of the associated listed items.

[0028] [Embodiment 1]

[0029] Refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the embodiment of the present invention provides a lifting and rotating structure of a camera module, which basically includes: a camera module 10, a lifting and rotating cylinder 20, a guiding cylinder 30, at least one elastic arm 40, and a driving assembly 50.

[0030] The camera module 10 is used to acquire images. The camera module 10 has at least one optical lens 11. The optical lens 11 can be a fixed-focus, zoom, or periscope zoom configuration, and can be a wide-angle or ultra-wide-angle lens, without limitation.

[0031] The lifting and rotating cylinder 20 is in a cylindrical shape. The camera module 10 is accommodated in the lifting and rotating cylinder 20. At least one side opening 22 is provided on the peripheral wall 21 of the lifting and rotating cylinder 20 for the exposure of the camera module 10, so that the optical lens 11 can acquire images through the side opening 22. Further, a plurality of side openings 22 can also be provided on the peripheral wall 21 of the lifting and rotating cylinder 20, which can respectively correspond to different optical lenses 11 (such as: wide-angle lens, ultra-wide-angle lens, or zoom lens) in one or more camera modules 10, so that each optical lens 11 can be selectively exposed and acquire images according to requirements.

[0032] In this embodiment, the camera module 10 can be accommodated in the lifting and rotating cylinder 20 in a suspended manner, or in a detachable manner such as clamping, but not limited thereto.

[0033] The guiding cylinder 30 is also cylindrical, and is coaxially arranged with the lifting and rotating cylinder 20, so that the guiding cylinder 30 can be correspondingly sleeved on the lifting and rotating cylinder 20, and at least one circular guiding groove 32 is formed on the inner surface of the peripheral wall 31 of the guiding cylinder 30. The shape of the circular guiding groove 32 includes at least one of an arc shape, a straight line shape, and an inclined line shape. Further, the shape of the circular guiding groove 32 is designed to allow the lifting and rotating cylinder 20 to move longitudinally relative to the guiding cylinder 30 while the lifting and rotating cylinder 20 rotates relative to the guiding cylinder 30. In this embodiment, the guiding cylinder 30 is a relative rotating structure sleeved outside the lifting and rotating cylinder 20, but not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the guiding cylinder 30 can be a relative rotating structure sleeved inside the lifting and rotating cylinder 20, and at least one circular guiding groove 32 can be formed on the outer surface of the peripheral wall 31 of the guiding cylinder 30. In some embodiments, the guiding cylinder 30 can also be arranged non-coaxially with the lifting and rotating cylinder 20.

[0034] The two ends of the elastic arm 40 are respectively a fixed end 41 and a movable end 42. The fixed end 41 of the elastic arm 40 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the lifting and rotating cylinder 20, and the movable end 42 of the elastic arm 40 is slidably arranged in the circular guiding groove 32. In this embodiment, the number of elastic arms 40 is three, corresponding to the relative number of circular guiding grooves 32 respectively, but not limited thereto. In some embodiments, the elastic arm 40 can integrally form a bent fixed end 41 or a bent movable end 42, so that the movable end 42 of the elastic arm 40 integrally extends into the circular guiding groove 32, and the movable end 42 moves along the circular guiding groove 32, or a pin 421 is provided at the movable end 42, so that the pin 421 of the movable end 42 passes through the peripheral wall 21 of the lifting and rotating cylinder 20 and is movably accommodated in the circular guiding groove 32, so that the pin 421 of the movable end 42 moves along the circular guiding groove 32, but not limited thereto.

[0035] The driving assembly 50 is connected to the lifting and rotating cylinder 20 to drive the lifting and rotating cylinder 20 to rotate relative to the guiding cylinder 30. At the same time, the movable end 42 of the elastic arm 40 moves along the circular guiding groove 32 of the guiding cylinder 30, forcing the lifting and rotating cylinder 20 to rise or fall relative to the guiding cylinder 30. In this embodiment, the circular guiding groove 32 is a non-reversible one-way stroke, so as to limit the driving of the lifting and rotating cylinder 20 to rotate relative to the guiding cylinder 30 in the horizontal direction by only a single set of driving assemblies 50, and the lifting and rotating cylinder 20 rises or falls by moving the movable end 42 of the elastic arm 40 along the guiding track of the circular guiding groove 32 in the vertical direction.

[0036] As described above, in this embodiment, the driving assembly 50 may include a motor 51 and a gear set 52 driven by the motor 51. The gear set 52 includes a main gear 521 and at least one transmission gear 522 engaged with each other. At the axial two ends of the lifting and rotating cylinder 20 are a closed end 23 and an open end 24 respectively. At least one downwardly extending lower connecting post 25 is provided on the lower surface of the closed end 23. The fixed end 41 of the elastic arm 40 can be fixed to the lower surface of the closed end 23 of the lifting and rotating cylinder 20 through any fixing member (such as a fixing seat or a fixing screw). The two ends of the guiding cylinder 30 are an open top end 301 and an open bottom end 302 respectively. The open top end 301 allows the lifting and rotating cylinder 20 to extend out, so that the optical lens 11 of the imaging module 10 can be exposed through at least one side opening 22 to acquire an image. The main gear 521 is located at the open bottom end 302 of the guiding cylinder 30. At least one upwardly extending upper connecting post 523 is provided on the upper surface of the main gear 521, which is slidably sleeved with the lower connecting post 25 of the lifting and rotating cylinder 20. The rotational movement of the main gear 521 is transmitted to the lifting and rotating cylinder 20 through the sleeved structure formed by the upper connecting post 523 and the lower connecting post 25, so as to drive the lifting and rotating cylinder 20 to rotate horizontally relative to the guiding cylinder 30. Along the guiding track of the circular guiding groove 32 through the elastic arm 40, the lifting and rotating cylinder 20 is displaced in the vertical direction between the open top end 301 and the open bottom end 302. In this embodiment, the number of the upper connecting posts 523 is two, corresponding to the corresponding number of the lower connecting posts 25 respectively, but not limited thereto. In other specific embodiments, the number of teeth of the main gear 521 and the transmission gear 522 is different, and the accuracy of the horizontal rotation corresponding to the rise and fall can be adjusted according to actual needs, and different rotational speeds can be set in combination with the motor 51. In other embodiments, the difference in the number of teeth is not limited to the number of teeth of the main gear 521 being greater than that of the transmission gear 522, or the number of teeth of the main gear 521 being less than that of the transmission gear 522. In other specific embodiments, according to actual design requirements, a gear set 52 composed of a plurality of main gears 521 and transmission gears 522 with different numbers of teeth can also be used in combination, but not limited thereto. In other specific embodiments, when the rotational accuracy of the gear set is (0.1°) and the rotational speed is (25° / sec), the horizontal rotation angle of the lifting and rotating cylinder 20 is about 100°, and the rise / fall distance is about 40 mm, but not limited thereto.

[0037] Refer to Figures 1 to 3 , and also refer to Figures 4 to 6As shown, it is used to illustrate the specific structure of the cyclic guiding groove 32. In this embodiment, the cyclic guiding groove 32 may include a starting and ending groove section 321, an inclined rising groove section 322, an upper horizontal adjustment groove section 323, and an inclined descending groove section 324, which together form a closed track in a continuously connected manner for the movable end 42 of the elastic arm 40 to move along it, enabling the lifting and rotating cylinder 20 to rotate horizontally relative to the guiding cylinder 30 in the horizontal direction, and the lifting and rotating cylinder 20 to rise or fall in the vertical direction corresponding to the guiding track of the cyclic guiding groove 32.

[0038] Refer to Figures 1 to 6 , and also cooperate with the reference to Figures 7 to 9 As shown, it is used to illustrate the actuation of the movable end 42 of the elastic arm 40 in the cyclic guiding groove 32 when the lifting and rotating cylinder 20 moves relative to the guiding cylinder 30 as follows:

[0039] As Figure 7 shown, the inclined rising groove section 322 is connected to the starting and ending groove section 321, and the upper horizontal adjustment groove section 323 is connected to the inclined rising groove section 322. When the imaging module 10 is to be turned on for imaging, when the main gear 521 of the driving component 50 drives the lifting and rotating cylinder 20 to rotate in the forward rotation direction R1 (such as the counterclockwise direction), by restricting the movable end 42 of the elastic arm 40 to move along the guiding track of the inclined rising groove section 322, the lifting and rotating cylinder 20 rises relative to the guiding cylinder 30. Among them, the included angle between the inclined rising groove section 322 and the starting and ending groove section 321 can be 120 - 140 degrees, preferably approaching 140 degrees, so that the movable end 42 of the elastic arm 40 can smoothly move along the inclined rising groove section 322, and the lifting and rotating cylinder 20 rises relative to the guiding cylinder 30 to the upper horizontal adjustment groove section 323.

[0040] As Figure 8 shown, after the movable end 42 of the elastic arm 40 continues to move along the guiding track of the cyclic guiding groove 32 of the guiding cylinder 30 to the upper horizontal adjustment groove section 323, the imaging module 10 can be completely exposed. At this time, the main gear 521 of the driving component 50 can be further controlled to drive the lifting and rotating cylinder 20 to rotate in the forward rotation direction R1 or the reverse rotation direction R2 (such as the clockwise direction), so that the movable end 42 of the elastic arm 40 adjusts the left - right angular position of the imaging module 10 along the guiding track within the range of the upper horizontal adjustment groove section 323.

[0041] As Figure 9 shown, the inclined descending groove section 324 is connected between the upper horizontal adjustment groove section 323 and the starting and ending groove section 321. Among them, the driving component 50 can set the reverse rotation direction R2 rotation stroke not to exceed the upper horizontal adjustment groove section 323 according to the rotation speed of the motor 51 and the accuracy of the gear set 52 (number of gears / gear interval), so that the imaging module 10 maintains the open and exposed state.

[0042] As described above, when it is desired to turn off the imaging function of the imaging module 10, the driving assembly 50 can be controlled to drive the lifting and rotating cylinder 20 to rotate, so that the movable end 42 of the elastic arm 40 continues to rotate in the reverse rotation direction R2 along the guiding track of the cyclic guiding groove 32 of the guiding cylinder 30 to the junction of the upper horizontal adjustment groove section 323 and the inclined descending groove section 324, where the included angle between the upper horizontal adjustment groove section 323 and the inclined descending groove section 324 is 60-80 degrees, preferably approaching 80 degrees, so that the movable end 42 of the elastic arm 40 can smoothly move along the inclined descending groove section 324, causing the lifting and rotating cylinder 20 to descend relative to the guiding cylinder 30.

[0043] Refer to Figures 4 - 6 and Figures 7 - 9 , in other specific embodiments of the present invention, there is a first step difference 33 at the junction of the inclined ascending groove section 322 and the upper horizontal adjustment groove section 323, and a second step difference 34 at the junction of the inclined descending groove section 324 and the start-stop groove section 321, where the first step difference 33 or the second step difference 34 can be a one-way guiding surface for one-way guiding. When the movable end 42 of the elastic arm 40 passes through the first step difference 33 to the upper horizontal adjustment groove section 323 along the guiding track of the cyclic guiding groove 32 of the guiding cylinder 30, due to the limiting effect of the first step difference 33, when the movable end 42 of the elastic arm 40 moves back to the junction of the inclined ascending groove section 322 and the upper horizontal adjustment groove section 323 in the forward rotation direction R1 or the reverse rotation direction R2, it will not descend to the start-stop groove section 321 via the inclined ascending groove section 322. In addition, due to the elastic effect of the elastic arm 40, when the movable end 42 of the elastic arm 40 passes from the inclined ascending groove section 322 through the first step difference 33 to the upper horizontal adjustment groove section 323, the movable end 42 of the elastic arm 40 can elastically move radially inward and then elastically move radially outward, so as to be able to elastically buffer and enter the upper horizontal adjustment groove section 323.

[0044] Next, when the movable end 42 of the elastic arm 40 continues to return to the start-stop groove section 321 along the guiding track in the cyclic guiding groove 32 of the guiding cylinder 30 through the second step difference 34, due to the limiting effect of the second step difference 34, the elastic arm 40 will not return reversely from the start-stop groove section 321 to the inclined descending groove section 324. In addition, due to the elastic effect of the elastic arm 40, when the movable end 42 of the elastic arm 40 passes from the inclined descending groove section 324 through the second step difference 34 to the start-stop groove section 321, the movable end 42 of the elastic arm 40 can elastically move radially inward and then elastically move radially outward, so as to be able to elastically buffer and enter the start-stop groove section 321.

[0045] The guiding track and the limiting structure in the cyclic guiding groove 32 can limit the driving assembly 50 to drive the lifting and rotating cylinder 20 to rotate relative to the guiding cylinder 30 only in one direction, so as to continuously complete the switching functions of the camera module 10 starting to rise (exposing), rotating left and right (adjusting the camera angle), and closing and descending (hiding).

[0046] [Embodiment 2]

[0047] Referring to Figure 10 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides an electronic device 60, which may be a video conferencing machine. In a specific embodiment, the electronic device 60 further includes a housing 61 for accommodating the aforementioned camera module lifting structure. The housing 61 has a lifting accommodation groove 62, so that the lifting and rotating cylinder 20 is lifted through the lifting accommodation groove 62, enabling the camera module 10 to be exposed to obtain an image.

[0048] [Advantages of the Embodiment]

[0049] One of the beneficial effects of the present invention is that the camera module lifting and rotating structure only needs to use a single set of driving components to drive the movement of the camera module, which can reduce the number of driving components used. Further, the camera module lifting and rotating structure provided by the present invention can drive the lifting and rotating cylinder to rotate horizontally through the driving component, and convert it into a vertical displacement through the cyclic guiding groove provided in the corresponding guiding cylinder. It only needs a single circulation direction to complete rising or descending, without using more than two sets of driving components or a clutch to switch different directions, thereby saving the configuration space and reducing the product volume.
