Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of terminal technology, and in particular to a lifting component, a camera device, and an electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing sophistication of camera functions in mobile phones and other electronic devices, the demand for mobile phone cameras is also rising. Camera functionality is a crucial feature that significantly impacts the user experience of electronic devices.

[0003] For thinner electronic devices, existing technology can address the need for telephoto lenses by using a lifting mechanism to raise and lower the camera.

[0004] However, the structure of the existing lifting components is relatively complex, and the structure of the lifting components needs further optimization. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a lifting component, a camera device, and an electronic device.

[0006] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a lifting assembly, including a base, a first drive arm, a first support arm, a first swing arm, a first connecting arm, a second connecting arm, and a lifting member; the first end of the first drive arm is rotatably connected to the base, the second end of the first drive arm is rotatably connected to the first support arm, the first end of the first swing arm is rotatably connected to the base, and the second end of the first swing arm is rotatably connected to the first support arm; the base, the first drive arm, the first support arm, and the first swing arm constitute a first parallelogram linkage mechanism; the axis of rotation of the first swing arm relative to the base is a first axis; the first end of the first connecting arm is rotatably connected to the lifting member, the middle part of the first connecting arm is rotatably connected to the first support arm, the second end of the first connecting arm is movably connected to the base, the first end of the second connecting arm is rotatably connected to the lifting member, and the second end of the second connecting arm is rotatably connected to the first support arm; the first support arm, the first connecting arm, the second connecting arm, and the lifting member constitute a second parallelogram linkage mechanism; the axis of rotation of the first connecting arm relative to the first support arm is a first rotation axis; the first rotation axis is parallel to the first axis; when the first drive arm rotates relative to the base, the second end of the first connecting arm moves relative to the base, so that the lifting member moves up and down relative to the base.

[0007] Since the base, the first drive arm, the first support arm, and the first swing arm constitute a first parallelogram linkage mechanism, the first parallelogram connecting mechanism can deform and move. Since the first support arm, the first connecting arm, the second connecting arm, and the lifting member constitute a second parallelogram linkage mechanism, the second parallelogram linkage mechanism can deform and move. Since the first connecting arm part structure is used to form the link of the first parallelogram linkage mechanism, and the first connecting arm is also movably connected to the base, the base can constrain the movement of the first connecting arm. Therefore, the first connecting arm can link the deformation movement of the first parallelogram linkage mechanism and the deformation movement of the second parallelogram linkage mechanism. When the first drive arm rotates relative to the base, the first support arm translates relative to the base. The interaction between the first drive arm, the first connecting arm, and the base causes the first drive arm and the first connecting arm to rotate relative to each other, and then the lifting member translates relative to the first support arm, thereby realizing the movement of the lifting member relative to the base, that is, the lifting member lifting relative to the base.

[0008] In this embodiment, the connecting component between the lifting component and the base is a linkage. The lifting component moves up and down through the deformation of the linkage. The linkage has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture and assemble, thus giving the lifting assembly a relatively simple structure and low cost. Furthermore, this application does not require additional guiding or limiting structures for the lifting component. The movement of the linkage assembly enables the lifting component to perform accurate and stable lifting movements. The structure is ingenious and makes reasonable use of space, which is conducive to the miniaturization design of the lifting assembly.

[0009] In some embodiments, one of the second end of the first connecting arm and the base has a first guide portion, and the other of the second end of the first connecting arm and the base has a first track groove. The first guide portion is located in the first track groove, so that the second end of the first connecting arm is movably connected to the base.

[0010] In this embodiment, the first track groove and the first guide part cooperate with each other. The first track groove constrains the first guide part, causing the first guide part to move according to the groove shape of the first track groove, thereby making the movement of the first connecting arm more accurate and facilitating the accurate movement of the lifting component according to the set trajectory.

[0011] In some embodiments, the second end of the first connecting arm has a first guide portion, and the base has a first track groove, which is a straight track groove.

[0012] In this embodiment, the first track groove is formed in the base. Since the base serves as the load-bearing structure of the lifting assembly, it can have a large volume and strong support capacity, making it easy to provide a suitable location for forming the first track groove. The first guide portion is disposed in the first connecting arm. In this case, the structure of the first connecting arm is relatively simple and easy to manufacture. Therefore, the movable connection structure between the first connecting arm and the base is more reasonable.

[0013] In some embodiments, the lifting assembly further includes a slider, with the first guide rotatably connected to the slider and the slider slidably connected to the wall of the first track groove.

[0014] In this embodiment, during the relative movement of the first guide portion and the first track groove, the first guide portion rotates relative to the slider, and the slider slides relative to the first track groove. The first guide portion and the first track groove are in surface contact, resulting in more accurate motion between them. Furthermore, at this time, all components in the lifting assembly are in surface contact, and the connections between components are all low-pair connections. The connections between components are stable and reliable, and the relative movement between components is smooth and stable. Therefore, the lifting of the lifting component is also very smooth and reliable. Moreover, the lifting assembly experiences low energy loss and high transmission efficiency during movement.

[0015] In some embodiments, the lengths of the first swing arm and the second connecting arm are equal, the angle between the first swing arm and the first support arm is a first angle, and the angle between the second connecting arm and the first support arm is a second angle, the first angle being equal to the second angle; in a first direction, the first end of the first swing arm is closer to the first drive arm relative to the second end of the first swing arm, and the first end of the second connecting arm is closer to the first drive arm relative to the second end of the second connecting arm, wherein the first direction is: the direction of the line connecting the projection of the second end of the first drive arm and the projection of the second end of the first swing arm on the vertical plane of the first axis; the rotation center of the first connecting arm relative to the lifting member to the rotation center of the first connecting arm relative to the first support arm is the first segment of the first connecting arm, and the rotation center of the first connecting arm relative to the first support arm to the sliding center of the first connecting arm relative to the base is the second segment of the first connecting arm, the first segment and the second segment of the first connecting arm are of equal length and collinear; the extension direction of the first track groove is parallel to the first direction, and when the first drive arm rotates relative to the base, the first guide part moves along the first direction in the first track groove, and the lifting member moves linearly up and down relative to the base.

[0016] For example, in the first support arm, the portion between the second end of the first drive arm and the second end of the first swing arm, and the portion between the second end of the second connecting arm and the middle portion of the first connecting arm, are flush.

[0017] In this embodiment, the components of the lifting assembly have simple structures and are arranged in a relatively regular manner. The first track groove is a straight line, thus the processing difficulty of each component is low, the components are easy to control, and the manufacturing and assembly are relatively simple. Furthermore, the simple structure enables the vertical linear lifting of the lifting component relative to the base. The movement mode of the lifting component is simple and direct, and the lifting assembly is highly adaptable to electronic devices such as mobile phones.

[0018] In some implementations, the first trajectory groove is a curved groove.

[0019] In this embodiment, the shape of the first track groove is set more flexibly, and therefore, the dimensional and positional relationships between the first parallelogram mechanism and the second parallelogram mechanism can also be set flexibly.

[0020] In some embodiments, the second end of the first swing arm is coaxially arranged with the second end of the second connecting arm.

[0021] In this embodiment, the first swing arm and the second connecting arm can be rotatably connected to the first support arm via the same pin, and the first swing arm and the second connecting arm are installed at the same position on the first support arm; thus, the number of components for installing the first swing arm and the second connecting arm is reduced, thereby simplifying the structure of the lifting assembly, and saving the positional space required for installing the first swing arm and the second connecting arm on the first support arm, which is conducive to making the structure of the lifting assembly more compact, thereby facilitating the miniaturization design of the lifting assembly.

[0022] In some embodiments, in a first direction, a first drive arm, a first swing arm, and a first connecting arm are arranged sequentially, wherein the first direction is: on the vertical plane of the first axis, the line connecting the projection of the second end of the first drive arm and the projection of the second end of the first swing arm.

[0023] In this embodiment, the first drive arm and the second swing arm are respectively connected to the base. The first drive arm and the first connecting arm are respectively set on both sides of the first swing arm, so that the first drive arm and the first connecting arm are close to the two opposite sides of the base. The side space of the base is larger and the space allocation is flexible. On the one hand, it is convenient for the first drive arm to be directly connected to the component that provides power to it. On the other hand, it is convenient to set up the movable connection structure between the second end of the first connecting arm and the base.

[0024] In some embodiments, the lifting assembly has a raised state and a retracted state; when the lifting assembly is in the raised state, the angle between the first support arm and the first swing arm, and the angle between the first drive arm and the first support arm are both first angles; the angle between the first support arm and the first connecting arm, and the angle between the first support arm and the second connecting arm are both second angles; in the arrangement direction of the base and the lifting component, the lifting component and the first support arm have a first distance, and the second end of the first connecting arm is located at a first position on the base; when the lifting assembly is in the retracted state, the angle between the first support arm and the first swing arm, and the angle between the first drive arm and the first support arm are both third angles, the third angle being smaller than the first angle; the angle between the first support arm and the first connecting arm, and the angle between the first support arm and the second connecting arm are both fourth angles, the fourth angle being smaller than the second angle; in the arrangement direction of the base and the lifting component, the lifting component and the first support arm have a second distance, the second distance being smaller than the first distance; the second end of the first connecting arm is located at a second position on the base, the second position being different from the first position.

[0025] In this embodiment, during the process of the lifting assembly changing from the raised state to the retracted state, the angle between the relatively rotatable components decreases, and the distance between the relatively translatable components decreases, which better compresses the occupied space and makes the position of each component more reasonable. Therefore, the space utilization rate in the lifting assembly is improved, which is conducive to the miniaturization of the lifting assembly.

[0026] In some embodiments, when the lifting assembly is in the raised state, in the second direction, the first end of the first swing arm and the first end of the second connecting arm are located on opposite sides of the first support arm, and the second direction is the arrangement direction of the base and the lifting component.

[0027] In this embodiment, since the first end of the first swing arm and the first end of the first connecting arm are located on opposite sides of the first support arm in the second direction, and the first end of the first swing arm is connected to the base and the first end of the first connecting arm is connected to the lifting component, the first swing arm, the first connecting arm and the first support arm are located approximately between the base and the lifting component. This facilitates the reasonable arrangement of each component in the second direction and the reasonable allocation of the movement space of each component during relative movement, thereby improving the reliability of the lifting assembly movement process.

[0028] In some embodiments, the lifting assembly further includes a second drive arm, a second support arm, a second swing arm, a third connecting arm, and a fourth connecting arm; the first end of the second drive arm is rotatably connected to the base, the second end of the second drive arm is rotatably connected to the second support arm, the first end of the second swing arm is rotatably connected to the base, and the second end of the second swing arm is rotatably connected to the second support arm; the base, the second drive arm, the second support arm, and the second swing arm constitute a third parallelogram linkage mechanism; the axis of rotation of the second swing arm relative to the base is a fifth axis; the middle part of the third connecting arm is rotatably connected to the second support arm, the second end of the third connecting arm is movably connected to the base, the first end of the fourth connecting arm is rotatably connected to the lifting component, the second end of the fourth connecting arm is rotatably connected to the second support arm, and the first end of the third connecting arm is rotatably connected to the lifting component; the second support arm, the third connecting arm, the fourth connecting arm, and the lifting component constitute a fourth parallelogram linkage mechanism; the axis of rotation of the third connecting arm relative to the second support arm is a fifth rotation axis; the fifth rotation axis is parallel to the fifth axis.

[0029] In this embodiment, the third and fourth parallelogram linkage mechanisms serve as one set of structures driving the lifting member to rise and fall, as do the first and second parallelogram linkage mechanisms. This is equivalent to using two sets of structures to lift the lifting member itself. These two sets of structures help to balance the forces acting on the lifting member, preventing rotation or deflection during its movement relative to the base, and promoting smooth lifting. When the lifting member is large, the possibility of rotation or deflection is greater, requiring a more reasonable distribution of force points. This embodiment makes it easier to achieve stable, smooth lifting of the lifting member. Furthermore, by using two sets of structures, it is beneficial to provide power through multiple different power components, thereby increasing the driving force on the lifting member.

[0030] In some embodiments, the first support arm and the second support arm are integrally formed structural components.

[0031] In this embodiment, the first support arm and the second support arm together provide support for the lifting component. Since the first support arm and the second support arm have stronger mechanical properties, their support for the lifting component is more reliable. Furthermore, the first support arm and the second support arm have better synchronization during movement, which helps to improve the coordination between the lifting component and other components during movement, thereby enhancing the stability of the lifting component's lifting.

[0032] In some embodiments, the first support arm and the second support arm form a support member, which is ring-shaped, and the lifting member surrounds the cover space. On the vertical plane of the second direction, the projection of the support member surrounds the projection of the cover space. The second direction is the arrangement direction of the base and the lifting member.

[0033] In this embodiment, the annular support member has strong resistance to deformation and good support capacity, thus providing stable support for the lifting component. Furthermore, when the housing space of the lifting component is used to accommodate other components, the support member can avoid these other components. This not only ensures stable support for the lifting component but also makes reasonable use of space, resulting in a more compact structure for the lifting assembly and facilitating its miniaturization design.

[0034] In some embodiments, the first drive arm, the first support arm, the first swing arm, the first connecting arm, and the second connecting arm constitute a first drive structure, and the second drive arm, the second support arm, the second swing arm, the third connecting arm, and the fourth connecting arm constitute a second drive structure, with the first drive structure and the second drive structure arranged symmetrically.

[0035] In this embodiment, the first drive structure and the second drive structure are symmetrically arranged, which helps to counteract the torque that causes the lifting component to rotate, so that the lifting component is only subjected to the force along the second direction, thereby making the lifting component lift and lower smoothly; in addition, the symmetrical structure helps to make the overall structure of the lifting assembly more regular, which facilitates the control and manufacturing of parts, thereby helping to reduce costs.

[0036] In some embodiments, the lifting assembly further includes a power assembly, which is fixed relative to the base and is connected to the first drive arm in a transmission manner. The power assembly is capable of driving the second end of the first drive arm to rotate relative to the first end of the first drive arm.

[0037] In this embodiment, the power component drives the first drive arm to move, thereby providing power for the lifting of the lifting component, so that the lifting component can automatically lift and lower as needed.

[0038] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a camera device, including a camera module and a lifting assembly as provided in any of the embodiments of the first aspect, wherein at least a portion of the structure of the camera module is located inside the lifting member of the lifting assembly.

[0039] In this embodiment, since the lifting component has strong impact resistance, the camera module also has strong impact resistance, which helps to improve the environmental adaptability and service life of the camera module.

[0040] Thirdly, embodiments of this application provide an electronic device, which includes a housing and a camera device as provided in the second aspect, the camera device being mounted on the housing.

[0041] In this embodiment, because the camera module has strong impact resistance, the electronic device has strong environmental adaptability, long lifespan, and a better user experience. Attached Figure Description

[0067] The embodiments of this application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0068] In the description of the embodiments of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation" and "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a detachable connection or a non-detachable connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. "Multiple" refers to at least two.

[0069] The directional terms mentioned in the embodiments of this application, such as "upper", "lower", "inner", "outer", "top", "bottom", "side", etc., are only for reference to the directions in the accompanying drawings. Therefore, the directional terms used are for better and clearer explanation and understanding of the embodiments of this application, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the embodiments of this application.

[0070] In the embodiments of this application, the relative positional relationships mentioned, such as parallel, perpendicular, and aligned, are defined in relation to the current technological level, rather than being absolutely strict. Slight deviations are permissible; approximations of parallelism, perpendicularity, or alignment are all acceptable. For example, "A and B are parallel" means that A and B are parallel or approximately parallel, and the angle between A and B can be between 0 and 10 degrees. Similarly, "A and B are perpendicular" means that A and B are perpendicular or approximately perpendicular, and the angle between A and B can be between 80 and 100 degrees.

[0071] In the embodiments of this application, the terms "first," "second," "third," and "fourth" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined with "first," "second," "third," and "fourth" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.

[0072] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the electronic device 1001 provided in some embodiments of this application. Figure 2 yes Figure 1 A partial exploded view of the electronic device 1001 shown.

[0073] In some embodiments, the electronic device 1001 may be a mobile phone, tablet personal computer, laptop computer, smart screen, personal digital assistant (PDA), camera, personal computer, laptop computer, in-vehicle equipment, wearable device, augmented reality (AR) glasses, AR helmet, virtual reality (VR) glasses, or VR helmet, or other devices with camera functions. Figure 1 In this embodiment, the electronic device 1001 is a mobile phone as an example for description. Of course, other types of electronic devices 1001 can also adopt a similar structure, which will not be described in detail below.

[0074] Understandable, Figure 1 and Figure 2 The electronic device 1001 is shown only schematically, and the actual shape, size, location, and construction of these components are not subject to change. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The limitations of electronic device 1001 may also include, compared to, [other components]. Figure 1 and Figure 2More or fewer parts.

[0075] In some embodiments, the electronic device 1001 may include a camera device 1000, a screen 2000, and a housing 3000. The screen 2000 is used to display images, videos, etc. The screen 2000 may include a light-transmitting panel 2001 and a display screen 2002. The light-transmitting panel 2001 and the display screen 2002 are stacked and fixedly connected. The light-transmitting panel 2001 mainly serves to protect the display screen 2002 from dust. The material of the light-transmitting panel 2001 includes, but is not limited to, glass. The display screen 2002 may be a flexible display screen or a rigid display screen. For example, the display screen 2002 can be an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display screen, an active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) display screen, a mini organic light-emitting diode (MLED) display screen, a micro organic light-emitting diode (MOLED) display screen, a quantum dot light-emitting diode (QLED) display screen, a liquid crystal display (LCD), etc.

[0076] For example, the housing 3000 is used to protect the internal electronic components of the electronic device 1001. The housing 3000 may include a cover plate 3001, a frame 3002, and a camera trim 3003. The cover plate 3001 is located on the side of the display screen 2002 away from the light-transmitting panel 2001, and is stacked with the light-transmitting panel 2001 and the display screen 2002. The frame 3002 is fixed to the cover plate 3001. For example, the frame 3002 can be fixedly connected to the cover plate 3001 by adhesive. The frame 3002 may also be integrally formed with the cover plate 3001, that is, the frame 3002 and the cover plate 3001 are a single structure. The frame 3002 is located between the cover plate 3001 and the light-transmitting panel 2001. The light-transmitting panel 2001 can be fixed to the frame 3002 by adhesive. The light-transmitting panel 2001, the cover plate 3001, and the frame 3002 form an internal accommodating space for the electronic device 1001. The internal space houses the display screen 2002. The cover plate 3001 can be made of materials such as metal, plastic, or glass. The cover plate 3001 can be a single-material panel or a panel structure composed of multiple materials and panels. The cover plate 3001 has a mounting opening, and the camera decorative piece 3003 covers and is fixed to the mounting opening.

[0077] For example, the camera device 1000 is used to capture photos / videos. For example, the camera device 1000 is mounted within a housing 3000, located within the internal accommodating space of the electronic device 1001. The camera device 1000 can be used as a rear-facing camera. For example, the light-incident surface of the camera device 1000 faces the camera trim 3003. The camera trim 3003 is used to protect the camera device 1000.

[0078] In some embodiments, the camera trim 3003 protrudes from the side of the cover plate 3001 away from the light-transmitting panel 2001. This increases the mounting space of the camera device 1000 in the thickness direction of the electronic device 1001. In other embodiments, the camera trim 3003 may be flush with the cover plate 3001 or recessed into the internal accommodating space of the electronic device 1001.

[0079] The camera decorative element 3003 has a through hole 3004. The through hole 3004 allows light from the scene to enter the light-receiving surface of the camera device 1000. In some other embodiments, the electronic device 1001 may not include the camera decorative element 3003. In this case, the cover plate 3001 no longer has a mounting opening, but the through hole 3004 is provided on the cover plate 3001, allowing light from the scene to enter the light-receiving surface of the camera device 1000.

[0080] In some embodiments, the camera device 1000 can also be used as a front-facing camera. For example, the light-incident surface of the camera device 1000 faces the light-transmitting panel 2001. The display screen 2002 has a light path avoidance area. This light path avoidance area allows light from the scene to pass through the light-transmitting panel 2001 and then enter the light-incident surface of the camera device 1000. In some embodiments, the electronic device 1001 may also include one or more other camera modules 200 (not shown in the figures), which are not strictly limited in this application.

[0081] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the electronic device 1001 may further include a circuit board 4000 and an image processor 5000. The circuit board 4000 and the image processor 5000 are located within the internal accommodating space of the electronic device 1001. The image processor 5000 is fixed to and electrically connected to the circuit board 4000. The image processor 5000 is communicatively connected to the camera device 1000. The image processor 5000 is used to acquire image data from the camera device 1000 and process the image data. The communication connection between the camera device 1000 and the image processor 5000 may include data transmission via electrical connections such as wiring, or data transmission via coupling or other methods. It is understood that the camera device 1000 and the image processor 5000 may also achieve a communication connection through other methods capable of data transmission.

[0082] In some embodiments, the electronic device 1001 may further include an analog-to-digital converter (also known as an A / D converter, not shown in the figure). The analog-to-digital converter is connected between the camera device 1000 and the image processor 5000. The analog-to-digital converter is used to convert the signal generated by the camera device 1000 into a digital image signal and transmit it to the image processor 5000, whereby the image processor 5000 processes the digital image signal and finally displays the image or video on the screen 2000.

[0083] In some embodiments, the electronic device 1001 may further include a memory (not shown in the figure), which is communicatively connected to the image processor 5000. The image processor 5000 processes the digital image signal and then transmits the image to the memory, so that the image can be retrieved from the memory and displayed on the screen 2000 at any time when it is needed to view the image later. In some embodiments, the image processor 5000 may also compress the processed digital image signal before storing it in the memory to save memory space.

[0084] In some other embodiments, the electronic device 1001 may also not include the screen 2000.

[0085] Understandable, Figure 1 and Figure 2The installation position of the camera device 1000 in the illustrated embodiment of the electronic device 1001 is merely illustrative, and this application does not strictly limit the installation position of the camera device 1000. In some other embodiments, the camera device 1000 may also be installed in other locations on the electronic device 1001, such as the upper middle or upper right corner of the back of the electronic device 1001. In some other embodiments, the electronic device 1001 may include a terminal body and an auxiliary component that can rotate, move, or be detached relative to the terminal body, and the camera device 1000 may also be disposed on the auxiliary component.

[0086] Please refer to the following: Figures 3 to 5 , Figure 3 yes Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram showing a portion of the protruding structure of the camera device 1000 in the electronic device 1001. Figure 4 yes Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the camera device 1000 in some embodiments of the electronic device 1001 shown; Figure 5 yes Figure 4 The diagram shows the structure of the camera device 1000 in some usage states.

[0087] In some embodiments, the camera device 1000 may include a lifting assembly 100 and a camera module 200. The lifting assembly 100 has a lifting member 30 capable of lifting, which allows light to pass through. The camera module 200 may be installed in the internal space of the lifting assembly 100. The camera module 200 may include a lens 210 and a photosensitive element 220, which are spaced apart.

[0088] In this embodiment, the lifting member 30 of the lifting assembly 100 can rise to the extended position through the through hole 3004 of the camera decorative member 3003, thereby increasing the height of the internal space of the lifting assembly 100. This allows the lens 210 of the camera module 200, or a portion of the lens of the lens 210, to move away from the photosensitive element 220, increasing the distance between the lens 210 or a portion of the lens of the lens 210 and the photosensitive element 220, thus increasing the focal length for shooting. This enables the electronic device 1001 to achieve telephoto shooting, thereby improving the shooting effect. Furthermore, since the lifting member 30 can extend through the through hole 3004, the light-receiving surface of the camera device 1000 protrudes from the camera decorative member 3003 and the cover plate 3001, reducing light obstruction and improving the amount of light entering the camera device 1000, thus improving the image quality. The top side of the lifting member 30 is translucent, serving as the light-receiving surface of the camera device 1000.

[0089] After the shooting is completed, the lifting component 30 can be lowered back to its initial position, reducing the overall thickness of the camera device 1000 and allowing more of the lifting component 30 to be located in the internal space of the lifting assembly 100, which is beneficial for protecting the lifting component 30.

[0090] See also Figures 6 to 8 , Figure 6 yes Figure 4 The diagram shown illustrates the lifting assembly 100 in a raised state in some embodiments. Figure 7 yes Figure 4 The diagram shown illustrates the structure of the lifting assembly 100 in a retracted state in some embodiments. Figure 8 yes Figure 6 The exploded structural diagram of the lifting assembly 100 shown.

[0091] For ease of description, the lifting assembly 100 is defined to have a width direction, a length direction, and a height direction, all three being perpendicular to each other. Specifically, the width direction of the lifting assembly 100 can be parallel to the X direction, the length direction can be parallel to the Y direction, and the height direction can be parallel to the Z direction. When the lifting assembly 100 is installed in the electronic device 1001 along with the camera device 1000, the height direction of the lifting assembly 100 can be parallel to the thickness direction of the electronic device 1001, that is, perpendicular to the cover plate 3001 and the screen 2000 of the electronic device 1001. The light-incident side (i.e., the side used for light intake) of the lifting assembly 100 is the top side of the lifting assembly 100, and the bottom side of the lifting assembly 100 is opposite to the top side. When the camera device 1000 is used as a rear camera, the side of the lifting assembly 100 closest to the cover plate 3001 is its top side, and the side closest to the screen 2000 is its bottom side. In the following description, the part of the lifting assembly 100 and its components and structures closest to the light-incident side is referred to as the "top," and the part furthest from the light-incident side is referred to as the "bottom." In other embodiments, the coordinate system of the lifting assembly 100 can be flexibly set according to specific actual needs.

[0092] In some embodiments, the lifting assembly 100 may include a base 10, a linkage assembly 20, and a lifting member 30.

[0093] For example, the center of the base 10 may be hollowed out. The base 10 may be located at the bottom of the lifting assembly 100. The base 10 may serve as a mounting structure and a load-bearing structure for other components of the lifting assembly 100.

[0094] The base 10 can generally be a frame structure. In some other embodiments, the base 10 can also be a thin-shell structure or other types of structure, which can be set according to requirements. This embodiment does not specifically limit the shape of the base 10. The base 10 can be a one-piece structure or it can be assembled from multiple parts. This embodiment does not specifically limit the shape of the base 10.

[0095] For example, the linkage assembly 20 can connect the base 10 and the lifting member 30. For instance, the linkage assembly 20 can include multiple links and form a linkage mechanism capable of deformable motion. The linkage assembly 20 is used to transmit power to the lifting member 30 and cause the lifting member 30 to perform corresponding movements.

[0096] For example, the lifting member 30 is connected to the linkage assembly 20. Driven by the linkage assembly 20, the lifting member 30 can move up and down relative to the base 10. Specifically, the lifting member 30 can move up and down in the thickness direction of the lifting assembly 100. The base 10 may have a hollowed-out section in the middle, and the lifting member 30 may be located correspondingly in the hollowed-out position of the base 10.

[0097] like Figure 6 The lifting assembly 100 can be in the raised state. At this time, the lifting member 30 can extend relative to the base 10. The lifting member 30 is supported by the linkage assembly 20. The distance between the lifting member 30 and the base 10 is large, so the space formed between the lifting member 30 and the base 10 is large, which makes it easier to accommodate other components of electronic devices (such as cameras).

[0098] like Figure 7 The lifting assembly 100 can be in a retracted state. At this time, the lifting member 30 can retract relative to the base 10, and at least a part of the structure of the lifting member 30 is accommodated by the base 10. The distance between the lifting member 30 and the base 10 is small, so the overall thickness of the lifting assembly 100 is thin and it occupies little thickness space. Therefore, when the lifting assembly 100 is applied to electronic devices, it is beneficial to make the overall thickness of the electronic devices thinner, which is conducive to the thin design of electronic devices.

[0099] The lifting assembly 100 can switch between a lifting state and a retracted state. For example, the lifting assembly 100 can be composed of... Figure 7 The retraction state changes to Figure 6 The raised state can specifically be such that the linkage assembly 20 can be driven by an input driving force, which causes the linkage assembly 20 to deform and move, thereby causing the lifting member 30 to rise relative to the base 10. It can be understood that the lifting assembly 100 can rise from... Figure 6 The rising state changes to Figure 7 The retracted state, this movement process can be roughly the opposite of the process of the lifting component 100 changing from the retracted state to the raised state.

[0100] In some embodiments, the lifting assembly 100 may further include a power assembly (not shown).

[0101] For example, the power assembly can output torque, serving as a power source for the lifting assembly 100 and supplying power to the linkage assembly 20. For instance, the power assembly can output power by being energized. The power assembly can be mounted on the base 10. The base 10 can house the power assembly within the base 10, providing mounting, securing, and protection for the power assembly.

[0102] Please see Figure 9 , Figure 9 yes Figure 8 A schematic diagram of the structure of the base 10 shown.

[0103] In some embodiments, the base 10 may include a first mounting portion 101, a second mounting portion 102, and a third mounting portion 103. The second mounting portion 102 is fixedly connected to the first mounting portion 101 and the third mounting portion 103.

[0104] For example, the base 10 may have a first mounting hole 104 and a second mounting hole 105, which may be formed in the first mounting portion 101. The first mounting hole 104 may be located at the end of the first mounting portion 101 away from the second mounting portion 102. The first mounting hole 104 may be a through hole. The second mounting hole 105 may be located in the first mounting portion 101 and disposed relative to the first mounting hole 104 and close to the second mounting portion 102. The second mounting hole 105 may also be a through hole. The axis of the hole in the first mounting hole 104 and the axis of the hole in the second mounting hole 105 may be arranged parallel to each other.

[0105] For example, the base 10 may have a third mounting hole 106 and a fourth mounting hole 107, which may be formed in the third mounting portion 103. The third mounting hole 106 may be located at the end of the third mounting portion 103 away from the second mounting portion 102. The third mounting hole 106 may be a through hole. The fourth mounting hole 107 may be located in the third mounting portion 103 and disposed relative to the third mounting hole 106 and close to the second mounting portion 102. The fourth mounting hole 107 may be a through hole. The bore axes of the third mounting hole 106 and the fourth mounting hole 107 may be parallel. For example, the bore axes of the third mounting hole 106 and the fourth mounting hole 107 may be parallel to the Y direction.

[0106] The first mounting portion 101 and the third mounting portion 103 can be arranged opposite to each other. The first mounting portion 101 and the second mounting portion 102 can each be generally rod-shaped structures.

[0107] For example, the first mounting portion 101 and the third mounting portion 103 can be symmetrically arranged. In this case, the hole axis of the first mounting hole 104 can be coaxially arranged with the hole axis of the third mounting hole 106, and the hole axis of the second mounting hole 105 and the hole axis of the fourth mounting hole 107 can be coaxially arranged. In some other embodiments, the first mounting portion 101 and the third mounting portion 103 can also be arranged in an asymmetrical structure.

[0108] For example, the base 10 may have a first track groove 108 and a second track groove 109, which may be formed in the second mounting portion 102. The first track groove 108 may extend in a straight line, and the extension direction of the first track groove 108 may be perpendicular to the hole axis direction of the first mounting hole 104, for example, the first track groove 108 may extend in the X direction. The second track groove 109 may extend in a straight line, and the extension direction of the second track groove 109 may be perpendicular to the hole axis direction of the first mounting hole 104, for example, the second track groove 109 may extend in the X direction. The first track groove 108 may have a top wall 1081 and a bottom wall 1082 disposed opposite to each other, the top wall 1081 and the bottom wall 1082 being parallel to each other, and the top wall 1081 and the bottom wall 1082 extending in the X direction respectively, and the top wall 1081 and the bottom wall 1082 being arranged in the Z direction.

[0109] The second mounting portion 102 may be located between the first mounting portion 101 and the third mounting portion 103. Partial structures of the second mounting portion 102 may form spaced intervals with the first mounting portion 101 and the second mounting portion 102 respectively. The opening of the first track groove 108 may face the first mounting portion 101, and the opening of the second track groove 109 may face the second mounting portion 102.

[0110] Please see Figure 10 , Figure 10 yes Figure 8 An exploded view of the connecting rod assembly 20 shown.

[0111] In some embodiments, the linkage assembly 20 includes a support 1, a first drive arm 2, a first swing arm 3, a first connecting arm 4, and a second connecting arm 5.

[0112] The support member 1 may include a first support arm 11, a first connecting portion 12, a second support arm 13, and a second connecting portion 14. The first connecting portion 12 connects the first end of the first support arm 11 and the first end of the second support arm 13. The second connecting portion 14 connects the second end of the first support arm 11 and the second end of the second support arm 13. The first support arm 11 and the second support arm 13 may be arranged opposite to each other, and the first connecting portion 12 and the second connecting portion 14 may be arranged opposite to each other.

[0113] For example, the support member 1 can be a ring structure. The first support arm 11, the first connecting part 12, the second support arm 13, and the second connecting part 14 can form a clearance space. For example, the support member 1 can form a closed ring structure.

[0114] For example, in the Z direction, the second connecting portion 14 may be offset from the first connecting portion 12. The second connecting portion 14 is higher than the first connecting portion 12 in the Z direction.

[0115] The support member 1 may have a fifth mounting hole 15. The fifth mounting hole 15 may pass through the end of the first support arm 11, the first connecting part 12, and the end of the second support arm 13. The fifth mounting hole 15 may be a cylindrical hole, and the axis of the fifth mounting hole 15 may be in the same direction as the arrangement of the first support arm 11, the first connecting part 12, and the second support arm 13. For example, the axis of the fifth mounting hole 15 may be parallel to the Y-direction.

[0116] The support member 1 may have a sixth mounting hole 16 and a seventh mounting hole 17. The sixth mounting hole 16 and the seventh mounting hole 17 are respectively opened in the first support arm 11 and pass through the first support arm 11. The sixth mounting hole 16 and the seventh mounting hole 17 are spaced apart. The hole axis of the sixth mounting hole 16 and the hole axis of the seventh mounting hole 17 may be arranged parallel.

[0117] In some examples, the support member 1 may also have an eighth mounting hole 18 and a ninth mounting hole 19. The eighth mounting hole 18 and the ninth mounting hole 19 are respectively formed in and pass through the second support arm 13. The eighth mounting hole 18 and the ninth mounting hole 19 are spaced apart. The bore axis of the eighth mounting hole 18 and the bore axis of the ninth mounting hole 19 can be arranged parallel to each other. Specifically, the eighth mounting hole 18 can be coaxially arranged with the sixth mounting hole 16, and the ninth mounting hole 19 can be coaxially arranged with the seventh mounting hole 17, but these are not strictly limited to this.

[0118] In some examples, the support member 1 can be a one-piece structural component, thereby improving the support performance of the support member 1 and also helping to reduce the number of parts in the linkage assembly 20. In other embodiments, the support member 1 can also be a split structural component.

[0119] For example, the first drive arm 2 may include a first end 21 and a second end 22, with the first end 21 connected to the second end 22. The first drive arm 2 may be generally in the form of a short rod, but is not limited thereto.

[0120] The first drive arm 2 may have a first through hole 211 and a second through hole 221. Both the first through hole 211 and the second through hole 221 can be cylindrical holes. The bore axes of the first through hole 211 and the second through hole 221 can be arranged parallel to each other. The first through hole 211 can penetrate through the first end 21 of the first drive arm 2, and the second through hole 221 can penetrate through the second end 22 of the first drive arm 2. For example, the end face of the first end 21 of the first drive arm 2 can be a curved surface coaxial with the first through hole 211, and the end face of the second end 22 of the first drive arm 2 can be a curved surface coaxial with the second through hole 221; this helps to prevent the first drive arm 2 from colliding with other components when it rotates.

[0121] For example, the first swing arm 3 may include a first end 31 and a second end 32, with the first end 31 connected to the second end 32. The first swing arm 3 may be generally rod-shaped. The first end 31 of the first swing arm 3 may have a first rotating hole 311, which may be a through hole or a cylindrical hole. The second end 32 of the first swing arm 3 may have a second rotating hole 321, which may also be a through hole or a cylindrical hole. The axis of the second rotating hole 321 may be parallel to the axis of the first rotating hole 311. The distance between the axis of the first rotating hole 311 and the axis of the second rotating hole 321, and the distance between the axis of the first through hole 211 and the axis of the second through hole 221, may be the same.

[0122] For example, the first connecting arm 4 may include a first end 41, a middle portion 42, and a second end 43, with the middle portion 42 connecting the first end 41 and the second end 43. The first end 41 of the first connecting arm 4 may have a first rotating portion 411, which may protrude and is generally cylindrical to facilitate rotation. The middle portion 42 of the first connecting arm 4 may have a first connecting hole 421 that extends through the middle portion 42. The first connecting hole 421 may be a cylindrical hole. The axis of the first connecting hole 421 may be parallel to the central axis of the first rotating portion 411. For example, the axis of the first connecting hole 421 and the central axis of the first rotating portion 411 may both be parallel to the Y-direction. The second end 43 of the first connecting arm 4 may have a first guide portion 431, which may protrude in the same direction as the first rotating portion 411. The first guide section 431 can be roughly cylindrical in shape.

[0123] The first connecting arm 4 can be generally a straight rod structure, that is, the first end 41, the middle part 42, and the second end 43 of the first connecting arm 4 are arranged in a straight line. For example, the central axis of the first rotating part 411, the hole axis of the first connecting hole 421, and the central axis of the first guide part 431 can be arranged in the same plane.

[0124] For example, the second connecting arm 5 may include a first end 51 and a second end 52, with the first end 51 connected to the second end 52. The first end 51 of the second connecting arm 5 may have a second rotating portion 511, which may protrude. The second rotating portion 511 may be generally cylindrical to facilitate rotation. The second end 52 of the second connecting arm 5 may have a second connecting hole 521, which extends through the second end 52. The second connecting hole 521 may be a cylindrical hole, and its axis may be parallel to the central axis of the second rotating portion 511.

[0125] In some embodiments, the linkage assembly 20 may further include a second drive arm 6, a second swing arm 7, a third connecting arm 8, and a fourth connecting arm 9.

[0126] For example, the second drive arm 6 may include a first end 61 and a second end 62, with the first end 61 connected to the second end 62. The second drive arm 6 may have a third through hole 611 and a fourth through hole 621. The bore axes of the third through hole 611 and the fourth through hole 621 may be arranged parallel to each other. The third through hole 611 may pass through the first end 61 of the second drive arm 6, and the fourth through hole 621 may pass through the second end 62 of the second drive arm 6.

[0127] For example, the second swing arm 7 may include a first end 71 and a second end 72, with the first end 71 connected to the second end 72. The first end 71 of the second swing arm 7 may have a third rotating hole 711. The second end 72 of the second swing arm 7 may have a fourth rotating hole 721.

[0128] For example, the third connecting arm 8 may include a first end 81, a middle portion 82, and a second end 83, with the middle portion 82 connecting the first end 81 and the second end 83. The first end 81 of the third connecting arm 8 may have a third rotating portion 811, the middle portion 82 of the third connecting arm 8 may have a third connecting hole 821, and the second end 83 of the third connecting arm 8 may have a second guiding portion 831.

[0129] For example, the fourth connecting arm 9 may include a first end 91 and a second end 92, with the first end 91 connected to the second end 92. The first end 91 of the fourth connecting arm 9 may have a fourth rotating portion 911, and the second end 92 of the fourth connecting arm 9 may have a fourth connecting hole 921.

[0130] The structure of the second drive arm 6 can be referenced from the structure of the first drive arm 2, the structure of the second swing arm 7 can be referenced from the structure of the first swing arm 3, the structure of the fourth connecting arm 9 can be referenced from the structure of the second connecting arm 5, and the structure of the third connecting arm 8 can be referenced from the structure of the first connecting arm 4. The specific structures of the second drive arm 6, the second swing arm 7, the third connecting arm 8 and the fourth connecting arm 9 will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0131] In some embodiments, the link assembly 20 may further include a first connecting shaft 201, a second connecting shaft 202, and a shaft sleeve 203.

[0132] For example, the first connecting shaft 201 and the second connecting shaft 202 can each be a cylindrical shaft. The length of the second connecting shaft 202 can be greater than the length of the first connecting shaft 201, and the diameter of the second connecting shaft 202 can be greater than the diameter of the first connecting shaft 201. The shaft cylinder 203 can be a hollow cylindrical cylinder, and the length of the shaft cylinder 203 can be less than the length of the second connecting shaft 202.

[0133] In some embodiments, the linkage assembly 20 may further include a pin 204, a latch 205, and a fixed shaft 206.

[0134] For example, the pin 204 may include a rod portion 2041 and a head 2042, with the rod portion 2041 fixedly connected to the head 2042. The rod portion 2041 may be a cylindrical structure to facilitate relative sliding with other structures, and may have a locking groove. The diameter of the head 2042 may be larger than the diameter of the rod portion 2041. The latch 205 may be a semi-circular ring with an opening, and may be elastic. The latch 205 may engage with the locking groove of the rod portion 2041.

[0135] For example, the fixed shaft 206 may include a rod portion 2061 and a head portion 2062, with the rod portion 2061 fixedly connected to the head portion 2062. Both the rod portion 2061 and the head portion 2062 may be columnar structures, and the diameter of the head portion 2062 may be larger than the diameter of the rod portion 2061.

[0136] Please refer to the following: Figure 11 and Figure 12 , Figure 11 yes Figure 10 The schematic diagram of the linkage assembly 20 shown is as follows. Figure 12 It is along Figure 11 A sectional view cut at point AA.

[0137] In some embodiments, the first drive arm 2, the first swing arm 3, the first connecting arm 4, and the second connecting arm 5 can be rotatably connected to the support member 1.

[0138] The second end 22 of the first drive arm 2 is rotatably connected to the first support arm 11. For example, the first connecting shaft 201 can pass through the second through hole 221 of the first drive arm 2 and the fifth mounting hole 15 of the support member 1, and the first connecting shaft 201 can be rotatably connected to the wall of at least one of the second through hole 221 and the fifth mounting hole 15, thereby realizing the rotatable connection between the first drive arm 2 and the first support arm 11, so that the second end 22 of the first drive arm 2 can rotate relative to the first support arm 11.

[0139] The second end 32 of the first swing arm 3 can be rotatably connected to the first support arm 11, and the second end 52 of the second connecting arm 5 can be rotatably connected to the first support arm 11.

[0140] For example, the pin 204 can pass through the second connecting hole 521 of the second connecting arm 5, the sixth mounting hole 16 of the first support arm 11, and the second rotating hole 321 of the first swing arm 3. The pin 204 can be engaged with the latch 205 to limit the first swing arm 3, the first support arm 11, and the second connecting arm 5 in the axial direction of the pin 204, and to prevent the pin 204 from falling off. It is understood that the pin 204 can serve as a pivot for the first swing arm 3 and the second connecting arm 5 to rotate relative to the first support arm 11. It is also understood that the first swing arm 3 and the second connecting arm 5 can rotate relative to each other. In this example, the second end 32 of the first swing arm 3 and the second end 52 of the second connecting arm 5 are essentially coaxially arranged, thereby reducing structural damage to the first support arm 11 and improving the strength of the first support arm 11.

[0141] For example, the first swing arm 3 and the second connecting arm 5 can be located on both sides of the first support arm 11, so that the rotational connection between the first swing arm 3, the second connecting arm 5 and the first support arm 11 is relatively stable.

[0142] In this embodiment, the middle portion 42 of the first connecting arm 4 is rotatably connected to the first support arm 11. For example, the fixed shaft 206 can pass through the seventh mounting hole 17 of the first support arm 11 and the first connecting hole 421 of the first connecting arm 4. The fixing member can rotatably connect to the wall of the seventh mounting hole 17 and is fixedly connected to the second connecting member. In other examples, the first connecting arm 4 and the first support arm 11 can also be connected by a pin 204, etc. This embodiment does not specifically limit the structure of the rotatable connection. It is understood that when the middle portion 42 of the first connecting arm 4 rotates relative to the first support arm 11, the first end 41 and the second end of the first connecting arm 4 rotate in the same direction (clockwise or counterclockwise) relative to the first support arm 11, respectively.

[0143] In some embodiments, the second drive arm 6, the second swing arm 7, the third connecting arm 8, and the fourth connecting arm 9 can be rotatably connected to the support member 1.

[0144] For example, the second end 62 of the second drive arm 6 can be rotatably connected to the second support arm 13, the second end 72 of the second swing arm 7 can be rotatably connected to the second support arm 13, the second end 52 of the second connecting arm 5 can be rotatably connected to the second support arm 13, and the middle part 42 of the first connecting arm 4 can be rotatably connected to the second support arm 13. The specific connection structure can be referred to in the connection method of the first drive arm 2, the first swing arm 3, the first connecting arm 4 and the second connecting arm 5 with the second support arm 13 respectively. This embodiment will not be described in detail.

[0145] In some embodiments, the second connecting shaft 202 may be located in the first through hole 211 of the first drive arm 2 and the third through hole 611 of the second drive arm 6 (see [reference]). Figure 10 At this point, it is beneficial for the first drive arm 2 and the second drive arm 6 to rotate synchronously relative to the support member 1. The shaft sleeve 203 can be sleeved on the outside of the second connecting shaft 202 and located between the first drive arm 2 and the second drive arm 6. At this time, the shaft sleeve 203 can isolate the second connecting shaft 202 and prevent other components from contacting or colliding with the second connecting shaft 202.

[0146] In some embodiments, the first drive arm 2 may be symmetrically arranged with the second drive arm 6. The second swing arm 7 may be symmetrically arranged with the first swing arm 3. The fourth connecting arm 9 may be symmetrically arranged with the second connecting arm 5. The third connecting arm 8 may be symmetrically arranged with the first connecting arm 4. Symmetrical arrangement helps to make the structure of the linkage assembly 20 more regular and the overall structure more balanced in terms of force. In some other embodiments, the above structure may also be asymmetrically arranged, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

[0147] Please refer to the following: Figure 13 and Figure 14 , Figure 13 yes Figure 6 The diagram shows a portion of the lifting assembly 100 in the raised state. Figure 14 It is along Figure 13 A sectional view taken at point BB.

[0148] In some embodiments, the link assembly 20 may be mounted on the base 10.

[0149] For example, the first end 21 of the first drive arm 2 can be rotatably connected to the base 10. The second connecting shaft 202 can be located in the first through hole 211 and in the first mounting hole 104, so that the first drive arm 2 can be rotatably connected to the base 10 through the second connecting shaft 202.

[0150] For example, the first end 31 of the first swing arm 3 is rotatably connected to the base 10. A pin 204 is passed through the first rotation hole 311 of the first swing arm 3 and the second mounting hole 105 of the base 10, thereby rotatably connecting the first swing arm 3 to the base 10. It is understood that the pin 204 can engage with a latch 205 to limit the relative rotation of the first swing arm 3 and the base 10 on their axes and prevent the pin 204 from dislodging.

[0151] For example, the second end 43 of the first connecting arm 4 can be slidably connected to the base 10, and the second end 43 of the first connecting arm 4 can slide relative to the base 10 along a first direction. The first direction can be parallel to the X direction. The first guide portion 431 of the first connecting arm 4 can be located in the first track groove 108 of the base 10, and the first guide portion 431 can be located on the top wall 1081 of the first track groove 108 (see [reference]). Figure 9 Between the top wall 1081 and the bottom wall 1082, the first guide portion 431 can be slidably connected to the top wall 1081 and / or the bottom wall 1082.

[0152] At this time, refer to Figure 13 The base 10, the first drive arm 2, the first support arm 11, and the first swing arm 3 can form a first parallelogram linkage mechanism. The first swing arm 3 and the base 10 can rotate around a first axis 1a; the first swing arm 3 and the first support arm 11 can rotate around a second axis 2a; the first drive arm 2 and the base 10 can rotate around a third axis 3a; and the first drive arm 2 and the first support arm 11 can rotate around a fourth axis 4a. The first axis 1a, the second axis 2a, the third axis 3a, and the fourth axis 4a are parallel to each other, for example, they can be parallel to the Y direction. The distance between the second axis 2a and the first axis 1a is the same as the distance between the fourth axis 4a and the third axis 3a; the distance between the second axis 2a and the fourth axis 4a is the same as the distance between the first axis 1a and the third axis 3a. It is understood that the parallelogram linkage mechanism is a type of four-bar linkage. It is understood that the parallelogram linkage mechanism does not require all links to be in the same plane; the links can be staggered. Furthermore, parallelogram linkage mechanisms do not strictly require the links to be straight rods; their shapes can be customized as needed. For example, the first drive arm 2 and the first swing arm 3 of the first parallelogram linkage mechanism are offset in the Y direction.

[0153] When the first drive arm 2 rotates, the first support arm 11 translates relative to the base 10 in the X and Z directions, and the first swing arm 3 rotates synchronously.

[0154] Similarly, the first end 61 of the second drive arm 6 can be rotatably connected to the base 10. The second drive arm 6 can also be rotatably connected to the base 10 via the second connecting shaft 202. The first end 71 of the second swing arm 7 can be rotatably connected to the base 10. The second end 83 of the third connecting arm 8 can be slidably connected to the base 10. The connection methods of the second drive arm 6, the second swing arm 7, and the third connecting arm 8 to the base 10 can be compared with the connection methods of the first drive arm 2, the first swing arm 3, and the first connecting arm 4 to the base 10, respectively, and will not be repeated in this embodiment.

[0155] It is understandable that the base 10, the second drive arm 6, the second support arm 13, and the second swing arm 7 can form a parallelogram linkage mechanism. The specific structure can be referenced from the configuration of the first parallelogram linkage mechanism, and will not be elaborated upon here.

[0156] Please refer to the following: Figure 13 and Figure 15 , Figure 15 yes Figure 7 The diagram shows a portion of the lifting assembly 100 in a retracted state.

[0157] like Figure 13 In the raised state, the first drive arm 2 is set at an angle to the base 10. The first drive arm 2 and the first swing arm 3 support the first support arm 11, which is located on the top side of the base 10. The second end 43 of the first connecting arm 4 is located at the first position of the base 10, specifically, the first guide portion 431 of the first connecting arm 4 is located at the first position of the first track groove 108 of the base 10. When the first drive arm 2 does not move, the first parallelogram linkage structure does not deform, the relative position between the first support arm 11 and the base 10 remains fixed, and the relative position between the second end 43 of the first connecting arm 4 and the base 10 remains fixed.

[0158] like Figure 15 In the retracted state, the first drive arm 2 is angled to the base 10, and the first drive arm 2 and the first swing arm 3 support the first support arm 11. The first support arm 11 and the base 10 partially overlap in the direction of the first axis 1a (e.g., the angle between the first swing arm 3 and the first support arm 11 is less than 20°), and the base 10 surrounds the outside of the first support arm 11. The second connecting portion 14 of the support member 1 can be located on the top side of the base 10. The second end 43 of the first connecting arm 4 is located in the second position of the base 10, specifically, the first guide portion 431 of the first connecting arm 4 is located in the second position of the first track groove 108 of the base 10. When the first drive arm 2 does not move, the first parallelogram linkage structure does not deform, the relative position between the first support arm 11 and the base 10 remains fixed, and the relative position between the second end 43 of the first connecting arm 4 and the base 10 remains fixed. It is understood that the second position is different from the first position.

[0159] During the transition from the raised state to the retracted state, the first drive arm 2 rotates clockwise relative to the base 10 around the third axis 3a under the action of the driving force. The first drive arm 2 also rotates clockwise relative to the first support arm 11 around the fourth axis 4a. The first swing arm 3 rotates clockwise relative to the base 10 around the first axis 1a and the first swing arm 3 rotates clockwise relative to the first support arm 11 around the second axis 2a. Therefore, the angle between the first drive arm 2 and the base 10 decreases, the first support arm 11 moves relative to the base 10 along the X direction, and the first support arm 11 moves relative to the base 10 towards the base 10 along the Z direction, thus reducing the distance between the first support arm 11 and the base 10. Under the action of the first support arm 11, the second end 43 of the first connecting arm 4 moves relative to the base 10. Specifically, the first guide portion 431 of the first connecting arm 4 slides in the first track groove 108 of the base 10 in a direction away from the first drive arm 2; therefore, the first connecting arm 4 rotates counterclockwise relative to the first support arm 11.

[0160] It is understandable that the movement of each component during the transition from the retracted state to the raised state is roughly the opposite of the transition from the raised state to the retracted state described above.

[0161] It is understandable that in a parallelogram mechanism, the four links can be in the same straight line position in a special state (such as a certain angle in a moving state or a stationary state). For example, in some embodiments, when the lifting assembly 100 is in the retracted state, the first drive arm 2, the first support arm 11, and the first swing arm 3 can coincide with the base 10 in the direction of the first axis 1a.

[0162] Please see Figure 16 , Figure 16 yes Figure 8 The diagram shows the structure of the lifting component 30.

[0163] In some embodiments, the lifting member 30 may include a sleeve 301, a first docking portion 302, and a second docking portion 303. The first docking portion 302 and the second docking portion 303 are fixedly connected to the sleeve 301.

[0164] For example, sleeve 301 can be a cover structure, which can enclose a cover space to accommodate other components of the electronic device (such as an optical lens). For example, sleeve 301 can be provided with an opening to allow light to pass through into the cover space. Alternatively, sleeve 301 can be made wholly or partially of a light-transmitting material to achieve light transmission; this example will not be repeated.

[0165] For example, the first mating portion 302 can be a thin plate structure. The mating portion can be fixed to the bottom side of the sleeve 301. The number of first mating portions 302 can be one or more. When there are multiple first mating portions 302, the multiple first mating portions 302 can be arranged at intervals. The first mating portion 302 can have a first mating hole 3021, and the first mating hole 3021 can be a through hole.

[0166] For example, the structure of the second docking portion 303 can refer to the structure of the first docking portion 302, and will not be described again in this embodiment. The second docking portion 303 may have a second docking hole 3031. The second docking portion 303 may be disposed opposite to the first docking portion 302.

[0167] For example, the lifting member 30 may have an open end 3011, which may be located on the bottom side of the lifting member 30, and the cover space may communicate with the outside through the opening of the open end 3011. For example, the open end 3011 may have an annular structure.

[0168] Please refer to the following: Figure 17 , Figure 17 yes Figure 6 A partial cross-sectional view of the lifting assembly 100 shown.

[0169] In some embodiments, the lifting member 30 may be mounted on the linkage assembly 20. The lifting member 30 may be arranged with the base 10 in a second direction, which may be parallel to the Z-direction.

[0170] In this configuration, the first end 51 of the second connecting arm 5 is rotatably connected to the lifting member 30, and the first end 41 of the first connecting arm 4 is rotatably connected to the lifting member 30. At this time, the lifting member 30, the first connecting arm 4, the second connecting arm 5, and the first support arm 11 can form a second parallelogram linkage mechanism. The first connecting arm 4 and the second connecting arm 5 can rotate synchronously relative to the lifting member 30, and the lifting member 30 and the first support arm 11 can translate relative to each other.

[0171] For example, the second rotating part 511 of the second connecting arm 5 may be located in the first docking hole 3021 of a first docking part 302 and rotatably connected to the hole wall of the first docking hole 3021, and the first rotating part 411 of the first connecting arm 4 may be located in the first docking hole 3021 of another first docking part 302 and rotatably connected to the first docking hole 3021.

[0172] For example, the first connecting arm 4 and the lifting member 30 can rotate relative to each other about the first rotation axis 1b, and the first connecting arm 4 and the first support arm 11 can rotate relative to each other about the second rotation axis 2b. In addition, the lifting member 30 and the second connecting arm 5 can rotate relative to each other about the third rotation axis 3b, and the second connecting arm 5 and the first support arm 11 can rotate relative to each other about the fourth rotation axis 4b.

[0173] The first rotation axis 1b, the second rotation axis 2b, the third rotation axis 3b, and the fourth rotation axis 4b can be parallel to each other; for example, they can be parallel to the Y direction. It is understood that the distance between the second rotation axis 2b and the fourth rotation axis 4b is the same as the distance between the first rotation axis 1b and the third rotation axis 3b.

[0174] It is understandable that the first rotation axis 1b can be parallel to the first axis 1a, so that the first support arm 11 can drive the first connecting arm 4 and the second connecting arm 5 to rotate through its own movement, thereby driving the lifting component 30 to rise and fall.

[0175] In this example, the second end 32 of the first swing arm 3 and the second end 52 of the second connecting arm 5 are coaxially arranged, and the first rotation axis 1b and the second axis 2a can be coaxially arranged. At this time, the first swing arm 3 and the second connecting arm 5 can be rotatably connected to the first support arm 11 through the same pin, and the first swing arm 3 and the second connecting arm 5 are installed at the same position on the first support arm 11; thus, the number of components for installing the first swing arm 3 and the second connecting arm 5 is reduced, thereby simplifying the structure of the lifting assembly 100, and saving the positional space required for installing the first swing arm 3 and the second connecting arm 5 on the first support arm 11, which is conducive to making the structure of the lifting assembly 100 more compact, thereby facilitating the miniaturization design of the lifting assembly 100.

[0176] In some other embodiments, the first rotation axis 1b and the second axis 2a may not coincide, and this embodiment does not specifically limit this.

[0177] Please see Figure 18 , Figure 18 yes Figure 17 The lifting assembly 100 shown is a structural schematic diagram from another perspective.

[0178] In some embodiments, the first end 91 of the fourth connecting arm 9 is rotatably connected to the lifting member 30, and the first end 81 of the third connecting arm 8 is rotatably connected to the lifting member 30. Therefore, the lifting member 30 can be connected to the base 10 through the second driving arm 6, the second swing arm 7, the second support arm 13, the fourth connecting arm 9, and the third connecting arm 8.

[0179] For example, the fourth rotating part 911 of the fourth connecting arm 9 (see Figure 13The second docking hole 3031 of a second docking part 302 (see reference) can be located in the second docking part 302. Figure 16 The third rotating part 811 of the third connecting arm 8 (see reference) is rotatably connected to the wall of the second docking hole 3031. Figure 13 It can be connected to the second docking hole 3031 of another second docking part 302 (see reference). Figure 16 It is located inside the second docking hole 3031 and is rotatably connected to the hole wall of the second docking hole 3031.

[0180] The parallelogram linkage mechanism formed by the base 10, the second drive arm 6, the second support arm 13, and the second swing arm 7 is the third parallelogram linkage mechanism. The axis of rotation of the second swing arm 7 relative to the base 10 is the fifth axis 5a.

[0181] The lifting component 30, the third connecting arm 8, the fourth connecting arm 9, and the second supporting arm 13 can constitute a fourth parallelogram linkage mechanism. The third connecting arm 8 and the fourth connecting arm 9 can rotate synchronously relative to the second supporting arm 13, and the lifting component 30 and the second supporting arm 13 can translate relative to each other. The axis of rotation of the third connecting arm 8 relative to the lifting component 30 is the fifth rotation axis 5b, which is parallel to the fifth axis 5a; the fifth rotation axis 5b is parallel to the first rotation axis 1b.

[0182] The third and fourth parallelogram linkage mechanisms can work together to move, thereby causing the lifting member 30 to rise and fall relative to the base 10. The specific structure and operation of the third and fourth parallelogram linkage mechanisms can be found in [reference needed]. Figure 17 The relevant solutions in this embodiment will not be described again in this embodiment.

[0183] In this embodiment, the third parallelogram linkage mechanism and the fourth parallelogram linkage mechanism formed in the lifting assembly 100 are capable of deformation and movement, and their functions are the same as those of the first parallelogram linkage mechanism and the second parallelogram linkage mechanism formed in the lifting assembly 100, that is, the lifting member 30 moves relative to the base 10 through the coordination of deformation and movement.

[0184] Therefore, the third and fourth parallelogram linkage mechanisms, as one set of structures driving the lifting member 30 to rise and fall, and the first and second parallelogram linkage mechanisms, as another set of structures driving the lifting member 30 to rise and fall, are used together. This is equivalent to using two sets of structures to lift and fall the lifting member 30. These two sets of structures help to balance the forces on the lifting member 30, preventing rotation or deflection during its rise and fall relative to the base 10, and promoting straight lifting and falling. When the lifting member 30 is large, the possibility of rotation or deflection is greater, requiring a reasonable distribution of force points. This embodiment makes it easier to achieve stable and straight lifting and falling of the lifting member 30. Furthermore, by setting two sets of structures, it is beneficial to provide power through different multiple power components, thereby increasing the driving force on the lifting member 30.

[0185] Please refer to the following: Figure 17 and Figure 18 In some embodiments, the first drive arm 2, the first support arm 11, the first swing arm 3, the first connecting arm 4 and the second connecting arm 5 constitute the first drive structure, and the second drive arm 6, the second support arm 13, the second swing arm 7, the third connecting arm 8 and the fourth connecting arm 9 constitute the second drive structure. The first drive structure and the second drive structure are symmetrically arranged.

[0186] At this point, the fifth rotation axis 5b and the first rotation axis 1b are coaxial. Similarly, the first axis 1a and the fifth axis 5a are coaxial. This embodiment will not list them all.

[0187] In this embodiment, the first drive structure and the second drive structure are symmetrically arranged, which helps to counteract the torque that causes the lifting member 30 to rotate, so that the lifting member 30 is only subjected to the force along the second direction, thereby making the lifting member 30 rise and fall smoothly; in addition, the symmetrical structure helps to make the overall structure of the lifting assembly 100 more regular, which facilitates the control and manufacturing of parts, thereby helping to reduce costs.

[0188] In some embodiments, as described above, since the support member 1 includes a first support arm 11 and a second support arm 13, the support member 1 is an integral structural component. In other words, the first support arm 11 and the second support arm 13 can be integrally formed structural components. In this case, the first support arm 11 and the second support arm 13 together provide support force for the lifting member 30. Since the first support arm 11 and the second support arm 13 have stronger mechanical properties, their support for the lifting member 30 is more reliable. Furthermore, the first support arm 11 and the second support arm 13 have better synchronization during movement, which helps to improve the coordination between their relative movements and those of other components during movement, thereby enhancing the stability of the lifting member 30 during lifting.

[0189] In some embodiments, the support member 1 is annular, and the lifting member 30 surrounds the cover space. On the vertical plane of the second direction, the projection of the support member 1 surrounds the projection of the cover space. The second direction is the arrangement direction of the base 10 and the lifting member 30. For example, the second direction can be parallel to the Z direction, then the vertical plane of the second direction is the XY plane. In this embodiment, the annular support member 1 has strong resistance to deformation and good support capacity, thus providing stable support for the lifting member 30. Furthermore, when the cover space of the lifting member 30 is used to accommodate other components (such as a lens), the support member 1 can avoid these other components. This allows the lifting member 30 to provide stable support and makes reasonable use of space, resulting in a more compact structure for the lifting assembly 100, which is beneficial for the miniaturization design of the lifting assembly 100.

[0190] Please refer to the following: Figure 19 and Figure 20 , Figure 19 yes Figure 6 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of the lifting assembly 100 in some embodiments. Figure 20 yes Figure 7 The diagram shows the structure of the lifting assembly 100 in some embodiments.

[0191] In this embodiment, the first end 21 of the first drive arm 2 is rotatably connected to the base 10, the second end 22 of the first drive arm 2 is rotatably connected to the first support arm 11, the first end 31 of the first swing arm 3 is rotatably connected to the base 10, and the second end 32 of the first swing arm 3 is rotatably connected to the first support arm 11. The base 10, the first drive arm 2, the first support arm 11, and the first swing arm 3 constitute a first parallelogram linkage mechanism. The axis of rotation of the first swing arm 3 relative to the base 10 is the first axis 1a.

[0192] The first end 41 of the first connecting arm 4 is rotatably connected to the lifting member 30, the middle part 42 of the first connecting arm 4 is rotatably connected to the first support arm 11, the second end 43 of the first connecting arm 4 is movably connected to the base 10, the first end 51 of the second connecting arm 5 is rotatably connected to the lifting member 30, and the second end 52 of the second connecting arm 5 is rotatably connected to the first support arm 11. The first support arm 11, the first connecting arm 4, the second connecting arm 5, and the lifting member 30 constitute a second parallelogram linkage mechanism. The axis of rotation of the first connecting arm 4 relative to the first support arm 11 is the first rotation axis 1b. The first rotation axis 1b is parallel to the first axis 1a.

[0193] When the first drive arm 2 rotates relative to the base 10, the second end 43 of the first connecting arm 4 moves relative to the base 10, so that the lifting member 30 moves up and down relative to the base 10.

[0194] During the lifting process of the lifting component 30 relative to the base 10, the movement trajectory of the lifting component 30 can be a straight line or a curve.

[0195] In this embodiment, since the base 10, the first drive arm 2, the first support arm 11, and the first swing arm 3 constitute a first parallelogram linkage mechanism, the first parallelogram linkage mechanism can deform and move. Since the first support arm 11, the first connecting arm 4, the second connecting arm 5, and the lifting member 30 constitute a second parallelogram linkage mechanism, the second parallelogram linkage mechanism can deform and move. Since part of the structure of the first connecting arm 4 is used to form the link of the first parallelogram linkage mechanism, and the first connecting arm 4 is also movably connected to the base 10, the base 10 can support the first connecting arm. The movement of 4 is constrained, so the first connecting arm 4 can link the deformation movement of the first parallelogram linkage mechanism and the deformation movement of the second parallelogram linkage mechanism. When the first driving arm 2 rotates relative to the base 10, the first support arm 11 translates relative to the base 10. The first driving arm 2, the first connecting arm 4 and the base 10 interact, causing the first driving arm 2 and the first connecting arm 4 to rotate relative to each other. As a result, the lifting member 30 translates relative to the first support arm 11, thereby realizing the movement of the lifting member 30 relative to the base 10, that is, the lifting member 30 lifts and lowers relative to the base 10.

[0196] In this embodiment, the connecting component between the lifting member 30 and the base 10 is a linkage. The lifting member 30 moves up and down through the deformation of the linkage. The linkage has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture and assemble, thus giving the lifting assembly 100 a relatively simple structure and low cost. Furthermore, this application does not require additional guiding or limiting structures for the lifting member 30. The movement of the linkage assembly 20 enables the lifting member 30 to perform accurate and stable lifting movements. The structure is ingenious and makes reasonable use of space, which is conducive to the miniaturization design of the lifting assembly 100.

[0197] In some other embodiments, the base 10, the first drive arm 2, the first support arm 11, and the first swing arm 3 may not necessarily form a parallelogram linkage mechanism, but rather a four-bar linkage one, in which the two opposing links do not necessarily need to be parallel; and / or, the first support arm 11, the first connecting arm 4, the second connecting arm 5, and the lifting member 30 may not necessarily form a parallelogram linkage mechanism, but rather a four-bar linkage two, in which the two opposing links do not necessarily need to be parallel. Four-bar linkage one and four-bar linkage two are capable of deformation and movement. Four-bar linkage one and four-bar linkage two are connected and cooperate through the first connecting arm 4, and deform and move synchronously, thereby causing the lifting member to move up and down relative to the base.

[0198] See Figure 19The lifting assembly 100 can be in a raised state. The angle between the first support arm 11 and the first swing arm 3, and the angle between the first drive arm 2 and the first support arm 11 are both first angles; the angle between the first support arm 11 and the first connecting arm 4, and the angle between the first support arm 11 and the second connecting arm 5 are both second angles; in the arrangement direction of the base 10 and the lifting component 30, the lifting component 30 and the first support arm 11 have a first distance a, and the first support arm 11 and the base 10 have a first distance b; the second end 43 of the first connecting arm 4 is located at a first position on the base 10.

[0199] The first end 31 of the first swing arm 3 and the first end 41 of the first connecting arm 4 can be located on opposite sides of the first support arm 11. For example, the first end 31 of the first swing arm 3 is located on the top side of the first support arm 11, and the first end 41 of the first connecting arm 4 is located on the bottom side of the first support arm 11.

[0200] See Figure 20 The lifting assembly 100 can be in a retracted state. The angle between the first support arm 11 and the first swing arm 3, and the angle between the first drive arm 2 and the first support arm 11 are both third angles, which are smaller than the first angle. The angle between the first support arm 11 and the first connecting arm 4, and the angle between the first support arm 11 and the second connecting arm 5 are both fourth angles, which are smaller than the second angle. In the arrangement direction of the base 10 and the lifting component 30, the lifting component 30 and the first support arm 11 have a second distance, and the first support arm 11 and the base 10 have a second distance, which is smaller than the first distance a and the second distance b. The second end 43 of the first connecting arm 4 is located at the second position of the base 10.

[0201] The lifting component 30 can contact the first support arm 11 (i.e., the distance between the points of contact is zero). The first end 31 of the first swing arm 3 and the first end 41 of the first connecting arm 4 partially overlap with the first support arm 11.

[0202] See also Figure 19 and Figure 20During the transition of the lifting assembly 100 from the raised state to the retracted state, the first drive arm 2 rotates clockwise relative to the base 10, the first parallelogram linkage deforms, the first swing arm 3 rotates clockwise relative to the base 10, and the first swing arm 3 rotates clockwise relative to the first support arm 11, reducing the first angle to a third angle; the first support arm 11 moves toward the base 10, providing the lifting component 30 with the power to move toward the base 10. The first connecting arm 4 and the second connecting arm 5 rotate counterclockwise relative to the first support arm 11, and the first connecting arm 4 and the second connecting arm 5 rotate counterclockwise relative to the lifting component 30, reducing the second angle to a fourth angle. Additionally, the second end 43 of the first connecting arm 4 moves away from the first drive arm 2. The lifting component 30 moves toward the first support arm 11, reducing the first distance a to a second distance. The first support arm 11 moves toward the base 10, reducing the first distance b to a second distance. Understandably, the distance between the lifting component 30 and the base 10 decreases, and the lifting component 30 moves toward the base 10.

[0203] The rotation direction of the first connecting arm 4 relative to the first support arm 11 is opposite to the rotation direction of the first swing arm 3 relative to the first support arm 11; the rotation direction of the first limiting arm relative to the lifting member 30 is opposite to the rotation direction of the second limiting arm relative to the base 10. In the Z direction, the movement direction of the first support arm 11 relative to the base 10 is the same as the movement direction of the lifting member 30 relative to the base 10. In the X direction, the movement direction of the first support arm 11 relative to the base 10 (+X direction) is opposite to the movement direction of the first support arm 11 relative to the lifting member 30 (-X direction).

[0204] In this embodiment, since the first end 31 of the first swing arm 3 and the first end 41 of the first connecting arm 4 are located on opposite sides of the first support arm 11 in the second direction, i.e. the Z direction, and the first end 31 of the first swing arm 3 is connected to the base 10 and the first end 41 of the first connecting arm 4 is connected to the lifting component 30, the first swing arm 3, the first connecting arm 4 and the first support arm 11 are approximately located between the base 10 and the lifting component 30. This is beneficial for the reasonable arrangement of each component in the second direction and for the reasonable allocation of the movement space of each component during relative movement, thereby improving the reliability of the lifting assembly 100 during movement.

[0205] It is understood that during the process of the lifting assembly 100 changing from the retracted state to the raised state, the driving component is still the first driving arm 2. The movement process of each component of the lifting assembly 100 is roughly the opposite of the process of changing from the raised state to the retracted state, which will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0206] In some embodiments, as described above, the second end 32 of the first swing arm 3 and the second end 52 of the second connecting arm 5 are coaxially arranged. The first axis 1a and the second rotation axis 2b can be coaxially arranged. In this case, the first swing arm 3 and the second connecting arm 5 can be rotatably connected to the first support arm 11 through the same pin 204, and the first swing arm 3 and the second connecting arm 5 are installed at the same position on the first support arm 11; thus, the number of components for installing the first swing arm 3 and the second connecting arm 5 is reduced, thereby simplifying the structure of the lifting assembly 100, and saving the positional space required for installing the first swing arm 3 and the second connecting arm 5 on the first support arm 11, which is conducive to making the structure of the lifting assembly 100 more compact, thereby facilitating the miniaturization design of the lifting assembly 100.

[0207] In some other embodiments, the first axis 1a and the second rotation axis 2b may not coincide, and this embodiment does not specifically limit this.

[0208] In some embodiments, as described above, the second end 43 of the first connecting arm 4 has a first guide portion 431, and the base 10 has a first track groove 108, with the first guide portion 431 located in the first track groove 108. That is, the first track groove 108 is formed in the base 10, and the first guide portion 431 is disposed in the first connecting arm 4. The first track groove 108 and the first guide portion 431 move relative to each other, therefore the space of the first track groove 108 needs sufficient space or length to provide for the movement of the first guide portion 431. The base 10 serves as the supporting structure of the lifting assembly 100, and the base 10 can have a large volume and high support capacity, making it easy to provide a suitable structure for forming the first track groove 108. With the first guide portion 431 disposed in the first connecting arm 4, the structure of the first connecting arm 4 is relatively simple and easy to manufacture.

[0209] In some other embodiments, the second end 43 of the first connecting arm 4 may have a first track groove 108, and the base 10 may have a first guide portion 431 located in the first track groove 108. This also allows the base 10 to guide the movement of the first connecting arm 4. Therefore, the movable connection structure between the second end 43 of the first connecting arm 4 and the base 10 is as follows: one of the second end 43 of the first connecting arm 4 and the base 10 has a first guide portion 431, and the other has a first track groove 108, with the first guide portion 431 located within the first track groove 108.

[0210] In some embodiments, the first track groove 108 is a straight groove, and the first guide portion 431 can move in a straight line within the first track groove 108. In this case, the opening of the first track groove 108 is relatively simple, and the movement mode of the first guide portion 431 in the first track groove 108 is relatively simple, which is beneficial to improving the reliability of the relative movement between the first guide portion 431 and the first track groove 108.

[0211] In some other embodiments, the first track groove 108 may also be a curved groove. Since the shape of the first track groove 108 can affect the movement mode of the lifting member 30, the shape of the first track groove 108 can be set according to the requirements of the movement mode of the lifting member 30.

[0212] For example, the first trajectory groove 108 is a curved groove, and the first guide part 431 can move along the curve within the first trajectory groove 108 to make the lifting member 30 move up and down in a straight line relative to the base 10. Specifically, in the direction perpendicular to the first direction and the first axis 1a, i.e., in the Z direction, the lifting member 30 needs to move up and down in a straight line. This can be achieved by limiting the lifting member 30 to move up and down in a straight line, thereby determining the movement trajectory of the second end 43 of the first connecting arm 4, and thus the shape of the first trajectory groove 108. Therefore, after obtaining the shape of the first trajectory groove 108, the base 10 limits the first connecting arm 4 through the cooperation of the first trajectory groove 108 and the first guide part 431, thereby enabling the lifting member 30 to move up and down in a straight line. At this time, the shape of the first trajectory groove 108 is relatively flexible, and therefore, the dimensional and positional relationships between the first parallelogram mechanism and the second parallelogram mechanism can also be flexibly set.

[0213] In addition, the first guide portion 431 is cylindrical. When the first connecting arm 4 rotates relative to the first support arm 11, the first guide portion 431 moves within the first track groove 108, and the first guide portion 431 rotates slightly within the first track groove 108. Therefore, the cylindrical structure makes the relative movement between the first guide portion 431 and the first track groove 108 smoother.

[0214] In some embodiments, in a first direction, the first drive arm 2, the first swing arm 3, and the first connecting arm 4 are arranged sequentially. At this time, the first drive arm 2 and the second swing arm 7 are respectively connected to the base 10. The first drive arm 2 and the first connecting arm 4 are respectively positioned on both sides of the first swing arm 3, so that the first drive arm 2 and the first connecting arm 4 are close to the two opposite sides of the base 10. The sides of the base 10 have more space and more flexible space allocation. This facilitates the direct connection of the first drive arm 2 to the component providing power, and also facilitates the setting of the movable connection structure between the second end 43 of the first connecting arm 4 and the base 10.

[0215] It is understood that this embodiment does not strictly require the first drive arm 2, the first swing arm 3, and the first connecting arm 4 to be arranged in a straight line.

[0216] Please see Figure 21 , Figure 21 yes Figure 6 The lifting assembly 100 shown is a cross-sectional schematic diagram in some other embodiments.

[0217] In some embodiments, the lifting assembly 100 further includes a slider 207, with the first guide portion 431 rotatably connected to the slider 207, and the slider 207 slidably connected to the wall of the first track groove 108.

[0218] For example, the slider 207 has a rotating connection hole 2071, and the first guide portion 431 can be rotatably connected to the wall of the rotating connection hole 2071. The slider 207 has a first surface 2072 and a second surface 2073 arranged opposite to each other. The first surface 2072 is slidably connected to the top wall 1081 of the first track groove 108, forming a surface contact, and the second surface 2073 is slidably connected to the bottom wall 1082 of the first track groove 108, forming a surface contact. During the relative movement of the first guide portion 431 and the first track groove 108, the first guide portion 431 and the slider 207 rotate relative to each other, and the slider 207 and the first track groove 108 slide relative to each other, so that the relative movement margin of the first guide portion 431 and the first track groove 108 is small, and the movement is more accurate. Furthermore, at this time, all components in the lifting assembly 100 are in surface contact, and the connections between the components are all low-pair connections. The connections between the components are stable and reliable, and the relative movement between the components is smooth and stable. Therefore, the lifting of the lifting component 30 is also very smooth and reliable. Moreover, the lifting assembly 100 has low energy loss and high transmission efficiency during the movement.

[0219] Please see Figure 19 , Figure 22 and Figure 23 , Figure 22 yes Figure 19 The diagram shows a simplified representation of the lifting assembly 100. Figure 23 yes Figure 20 The diagram shows a simplified representation of the lifting assembly 100. The lifting assembly 100 is distributed within the XYZ space, and the components and their arrangement within the lifting assembly 100 can also be distributed within the XYZ space. Figure 22 and Figure 23 The main focus is on showing the projection of the lifting assembly 100 onto the XZ plane to illustrate the mechanism principle of the lifting assembly 100.

[0220] In some embodiments, the lengths of the first swing arm 3 and the second connecting arm 5 are equal, the angle between the first swing arm 3 and the first support arm 11 is the first included angle m, and the angle between the second connecting arm 5 and the first support arm 11 is the second included angle n, wherein the first included angle m is equal to the second included angle n.

[0221] In a first direction, the first end 31 of the first swing arm 3 is closer to the first drive arm 2 relative to its second end, and the first end 51 of the second connecting arm 5 is closer to the first drive arm 2 relative to its second end 52. The first direction can be the direction of the line connecting the projection of the second end 22 of the first drive arm 2 and the projection of the second end 32 of the first swing arm 3 on the vertical plane of the first axis 1a. That is, the first direction is parallel to the X-direction.

[0222] The first segment 44 of the first connecting arm 4 is the rotation center of the first connecting arm 4 relative to the lifting member 30 and the rotation center of the first connecting arm 4 relative to the first support arm 11. The second segment 45 of the first connecting arm 4 is the sliding center of the first connecting arm 4 relative to the base. The first segment 44 and the second segment 45 of the first connecting arm 4 are of equal length and collinear.

[0223] The extension direction of the first trajectory groove 108 is parallel to the first direction.

[0224] For example, in the first support arm 11, the portion between the second end 22 of the first drive arm 2 and the second end 32 of the first swing arm 3 is flush with the portion between the second end 52 of the second connecting arm 5 and the middle portion 42 of the first connecting arm 4.

[0225] For example, the first end 31 of the first swing arm 3 and the first end 51 of the second connecting arm 5 are located on opposite sides of the first support arm 11.

[0226] For example, the second end 43 of the first connecting arm 4 can be arranged collinearly with the first end 31 of the first swing arm 3 and the first end 21 of the first drive arm 2.

[0227] Since the lengths of the first swing arm 3 and the second connecting arm 5 are equal, and the lengths of the first segment 44 and the second segment 45 of the first connecting arm 4 are equal, the lengths of the first swing arm 3, the first segment 44 of the first connecting arm 4, and the second segment 45 of the first connecting arm 4 are equal. Since the first included angle m is equal to the second included angle n, and the first segment 44 and the second segment 45 of the first connecting arm 4 are collinear, the third included angle u between the second segment 45 of the first connecting arm 4 and the first direction is equal to the first included angle m and also equal to the second included angle n. Based on this, during the rotation of the first drive arm 2 relative to the base 10, the third included angle u between the second segment 45 of the first connecting arm 4 and the first direction is still equal to the second included angle n. Since the first included angle m is always equal to the second included angle n, the third included angle u is equal to the first included angle m. Furthermore, in the first direction, the distance j that the first support arm 11 moves relative to the base 10 is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the distance k that the lifting member 30 moves relative to the first support arm 11. Therefore, the lifting member 30 does not move relative to the base 10 in the first direction, and the first support arm 11 and the base 10 move relative to each other in the Z direction, that is, the lifting member 30 moves linearly relative to the base 10.

[0228] Therefore, when the first drive arm 2 rotates relative to the base 10, the first guide part 431 moves along the first direction in the first track groove 108, and the lifting member 30 moves linearly up and down relative to the base 10.

[0229] In this embodiment, the components of the lifting assembly 100 have simple structures and are arranged in a relatively regular manner. The first track groove 108 has a straight line structure, so the processing difficulty of each component is low, the components are easy to control, and the manufacturing and assembly are relatively simple. Furthermore, the simple structure enables the vertical linear lifting of the lifting component 30 relative to the base 10. The movement mode of the lifting component 30 is simple and direct, and the lifting assembly 100 is highly adaptable to electronic devices such as mobile phones.

[0230] It is understood that in some other embodiments, the sizes of the first included angle and the second included angle may be different. The lengths of the first swing arm 3 and the second connecting arm 5 may be different. The lengths of the first segment 44 and the second segment 45 of the first connecting arm 4 may be different. The first segment 44 and the second segment 45 of the first connecting arm 4 may not be collinear. The first trajectory groove 108 may not extend along the first direction, and the first trajectory groove 108 may not be a straight groove. However, the lifting member 30 can still rise and fall relative to the base 10; and, by designing the shape of the first trajectory groove 108, the lifting member 30 can rise and fall linearly relative to the base 10.

[0231] Please see Figure 24 , Figure 24 yes Figure 6 The lifting assembly 100 shown is a structural schematic diagram in some other embodiments.

[0232] In some embodiments, when the lifting assembly 100 has a power assembly 40, the power assembly 40 can be fixed to the base 10 and driven to the first drive arm 2. The power assembly 40 can drive the second end 22 of the first drive arm 2 to rotate relative to the first end 21. For example, the power assembly 40 can drive the first drive arm 2 to rotate about a third axis 3a. In this case, the power assembly 40 provides power for the lifting of the lifting member 30 by driving the first drive arm 2, thereby enabling the lifting member 30 to automatically lift and lower as needed.

[0233] In some other embodiments, the lifting assembly 100 may not include the power assembly 40. In this case, the movement of the lifting assembly 100 can be powered manually or by an external power source.

That is to say, the multiple embodiments described above can also be arbitrarily combined according to actual needs.
