AI Technical Summary
In existing electronic devices, there is a contradiction between the space requirements of camera components and the ease of device storage. Excessive space occupied by camera components leads to an increase in device size, while insufficient space affects the shooting range.
The design employs telescopic components and a housing, with the housing and camera assembly moving via a first drive component. This allows for adjustments to the space to accommodate the camera assembly's operational needs. Flexible components alter the volume of the receiving cavity, while guide rails and sliders enhance movement stability.
It allows the camera component to have enough space to rotate and perform other actions when it is working, resulting in a wide shooting range. When the device is not working, its size is reduced, improving structural compactness and storage convenience, and reducing weight.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic product technology, and in particular to an image acquisition device and an electronic device. Background Technology
[0002] Typically, electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, drones, action cameras, or handheld gimbal cameras all have built-in camera components so users can capture pictures or videos. As these camera components become increasingly powerful, the space they require also increases. Currently, allocating too much space for the camera component results in bulky electronic devices that are difficult to store. Conversely, allocating too little space leads to insufficient working space for the camera component, limiting its shooting range. Summary of the Invention
[0003] This application provides an image acquisition device and an electronic device. When the camera component is working, a larger space is provided for the camera component. When the camera component is not working, the space occupied by the camera component is reduced to maintain the compact structure of the electronic device.
[0004] A first aspect of this application provides an image acquisition device, comprising: a camera assembly, a telescopic assembly, and a housing. The housing has a receiving cavity into which the camera assembly extends. The telescopic assembly includes a fixed base, a first driving member, a first rotating member, a first connecting member, and a second connecting member.
[0005] A first driving member is disposed on a fixed base, and a first rotating member is connected to the driving part of the first driving member. A first connecting member and a second connecting member are respectively rotatably connected to the first rotating member. The fixed base, the first driving member, the first connecting member, and the second connecting member all extend into the receiving cavity. The camera assembly is rotatably connected to the fixed base, and the camera assembly is rotatably connected to the second connecting member.
[0006] The first driving member enables the first rotating member to rotate, which in turn causes the first connecting member and the second connecting member to rotate. Along a first direction, the first connecting member causes the housing to slide away from or towards the fixed base, and the second connecting member causes the camera assembly to slide away from or towards the fixed base. The first direction is the width direction of the image acquisition device.
[0007] In this application, a first driving component is used to simultaneously drive the housing and the camera assembly to move. When the camera assembly needs to operate, both the housing and the camera assembly slide away from the fixed base, thereby increasing the space between the fixed base and the housing. This provides the camera assembly with sufficient space to perform rotation and other movements, thus giving it a wider shooting range. Conversely, when the camera assembly has finished operating, both the housing and the camera assembly slide towards the fixed base, thereby reducing the space between the fixed base and the housing. This reduces the size of the image acquisition device, increases its structural compactness, and improves its ease of storage.
[0008] In addition, in this application, a single first driving component can drive the housing and camera assembly to move, saving the number of parts and reducing the weight of the image acquisition device.
[0009] It is understandable that image acquisition devices can be applied to electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablets, drones, action cameras, or handheld gimbal cameras. Specifically, the image acquisition device is installed within the casing of the electronic device. The casing can be connected to the outside of the casing, and a mounting base can extend into and be fixed to the casing. When both the casing and the camera assembly move away from the mounting base (i.e., away from the casing), the space between the casings increases, providing sufficient working space for the camera assembly. Conversely, when both the casing and the camera assembly move closer to the mounting base (i.e., closer to the casing), the space between the casings decreases, making the electronic device more compact and improving its storage convenience.
[0010] In some embodiments, the mounting base includes a first surface with a first support frame. The body of the first driving member is connected to the first support frame, and the first rotating member is connected to the driving part of the first driving member. The outer peripheral surface of the first rotating member has a first protrusion and a second protrusion. The first protrusion and the second protrusion are spaced apart along the circumference of the first rotating member. One end of the first connecting member is rotatably connected to the first protrusion, and the other end of the first connecting member is rotatably connected to the housing. One end of the second connecting member is rotatably connected to the second protrusion, and the other end of the second connecting member is rotatably connected to the camera assembly.
[0011] By setting a first protrusion and a second protrusion, and arranging the first protrusion and the second protrusion at intervals along the circumference of the first rotating member, and then connecting the first connecting member to the first protrusion and the second connecting member to the second protrusion, the structural compactness of the telescopic assembly can be increased, and interference between the first connecting member and the second connecting member can be prevented.
[0012] In some embodiments, the first surface is provided with a first guide groove and a second guide groove, the receiving cavity is provided with a first sliding member, the camera assembly is provided with a second sliding member, the first sliding member is slidably connected to the first guide groove, and the second sliding member is slidably connected to the second guide groove.
[0013] When the housing slides towards or away from the fixed base, the first sliding member slides within the first guide groove, guiding the housing and preventing it from wobbling during movement, thus increasing the stability of the housing's movement. When the camera assembly slides towards or away from the fixed base, the second sliding member slides within the second guide groove, guiding the camera assembly and preventing it from wobbling during movement, thus increasing the stability of the camera assembly's movement.
[0014] In some embodiments, along the second direction, the second guide groove, the first guide groove, and the first support frame are arranged sequentially at intervals parallel to the central axis of the first direction. The first guide groove and the second guide groove are offset from each other, parallel to the central axis of the second direction. The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. The second direction is the length direction of the image acquisition device.
[0015] This design prevents interference between the camera assembly, housing, and first drive component, allowing the first drive component to smoothly drive the housing and camera assembly to move, and the structure is relatively compact.
[0016] In some embodiments, the second guide groove and the central axis of the first support frame are parallel to the second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction.
[0017] This can increase the structural compactness of the telescopic components and reduce the size of the image acquisition device.
[0018] In some embodiments, the first support frame includes a first mounting portion and a first column fixedly connected along a third direction, with one end of the first column facing away from the first mounting portion fixed to a first surface. The first mounting portion has a first mounting hole, the body portion of a first driving member is connected to the first mounting hole, and the driving portion of the first driving member extends out of the first mounting hole. The driving portion and the body portion of the first driving member are driven together. A first rotating member is fixedly sleeved on the outer peripheral surface of the driving portion of the first driving member. The third direction is perpendicular to the first direction. The third direction is the height direction of the image acquisition device.
[0019] The body of the first driving member is connected to the first mounting hole, and the first driving member is sleeved on the driving part of the first driving member, which can reduce the space occupied by the first driving member and increase the structural compactness of the telescopic assembly. The driving part of the first driving member extends out of the first mounting hole, which facilitates the connection between the first rotating member and the driving part of the first driving member.
[0020] In some embodiments, the first connector and the second connector are located on both sides of the first rotating member along a second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction.
[0021] This design prevents interference between the first and second connectors and increases the structural compactness of the telescopic assembly.
[0022] In some embodiments, the housing includes a rigid portion and a flexible portion. The rigid portion is frame-shaped with an opening on one side, and the flexible portion is annular. The flexible portion is connected to the opening of the rigid portion and surrounds the opening of the rigid portion. The rigid portion and the flexible portion enclose a receiving cavity. The flexible portion is located on the side of the housing facing the fixed seat. The rigid portion is slidably connected to the fixed seat and rotatably connected to a first connecting member. When the housing slides away from the fixed seat, the flexible portion extends to increase the volume of the receiving cavity. When the housing slides closer to the fixed seat, the flexible portion shortens to decrease the volume of the receiving cavity.
[0023] When the camera assembly is working, it requires a larger space, while when the camera assembly is not working, the required space is correspondingly reduced. When the space of the receiving cavity needs to be increased, the first connector moves the rigid part away from the outer shell, and the curved section of the flexible part gradually flattens out, that is, the flexible part switches from a contracted state to an extended state, thereby increasing the volume of the receiving cavity. When the volume of the receiving cavity needs to be reduced, the first connector moves the rigid part closer to the outer shell, and the curved section of the flexible part gradually returns from a flattened state to a curved state, that is, the flexible part switches from an extended state to a contracted state, thereby reducing the volume of the receiving cavity.
[0024] In some embodiments, the image acquisition device further includes a slide rail and a slider. Both the slide rail and the mounting base can be fixed to the housing of the electronic device. The slider is located within the receiving cavity and connected to the housing. The slider is slidably connected to the slide rail.
[0025] The slide rail and the fixed base are relatively fixed, meaning that both the slide rail and the fixed base are fixed to the housing. When the housing and camera assembly move, the slide rail and the fixed base remain stationary. The slider is located within the receiving cavity and is connected to the rigid part of the housing. The slider is slidably connected to the slide rail. As the rigid part moves away from or towards the housing, the slider moves along the slide rail to guide the housing. Additionally, since the connection between the housing and the housing is a flexible part, under gravity, the flexible part may deform downwards, causing the rigid part to sag. By setting up the slide rail and slider, the housing can be supported, thus preventing the rigid part from sagging.
[0026] In some embodiments, the camera assembly includes a camera, a second drive member, and a second support frame. The second support frame is slidably connected to a fixed base and rotatably connected to a second connector. The body of the second drive member is connected to the second support frame, and the camera is connected to the drive portion of the second drive member. The body of the second drive member and the drive portion of the second drive member are driven together. The second drive member can drive the camera to rotate around a second direction. The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.
[0027] The second support frame supports the second driving component, which drives the camera to rotate around a second direction, giving the camera a wider shooting range.
[0028] In some embodiments, the second support frame includes a second mounting portion and a second column fixedly connected along a third direction. The second column is slidably connected to a fixed seat and rotatably connected to a second connecting member. The second mounting portion has a second mounting hole, the body portion of the second driving member is fixed in the second mounting hole, and the driving portion of the second driving member extends out of the second mounting hole.
[0029] The body of the second driving component is connected to the second mounting hole, and the second driving component is sleeved on the driving part of the second driving component, which can reduce the space occupied by the second driving component and increase the structural compactness of the telescopic assembly. The driving part of the second driving component extends out of the second mounting hole, which facilitates the connection between the camera and the driving part of the second driving component.
[0030] In some embodiments, the camera assembly further includes a third drive member and a third support frame. The camera is connected to the drive portion of the second drive member via the third support frame and the third drive member. One side of the third support frame is connected to the drive portion of the second drive member, and the body portion of the third drive member is connected to the other side of the third support frame. The body portion and the drive portion of the third drive member are driven together. The camera is connected to the drive portion of the third drive member. The third drive member can drive the camera to rotate around a third direction, which is perpendicular to a first direction and a second direction.
[0031] The third support frame supports the third drive component, which drives the camera to rotate around a third direction, increasing the camera's shooting range.
[0032] In some embodiments, the third support frame includes a second rotating member and a third mounting portion, which are fixedly connected at an included angle. The second rotating member and the third mounting portion enclose a receiving space. The second rotating member is fixedly sleeved on the driving portion of the second driving member. The third mounting portion has a third mounting hole, the body portion of the third driving member is fixed in the third mounting hole, the driving portion of the third driving member extends out of the third mounting hole, and both the driving portion of the third driving member and the camera are located within the receiving space. This allows the second and third driving members to smoothly drive the camera to rotate and increases the structural compactness of the image acquisition device.
[0033] A second aspect of this application provides an electronic device, including a housing and an image acquisition device according to any one of the first aspects of this application. The image acquisition device is connected to the housing.
[0034] In some embodiments, the housing has a receiving cavity and a mounting opening, the mounting opening and the receiving cavity communicating with each other. The housing is fixed to the outside of the outer shell and surrounds the mounting opening, the receiving cavity and the accommodating cavity communicating with each other. The camera assembly and the telescopic assembly both extend into the receiving cavity, and the mounting base is fixed to the outer shell.
[0035] In some embodiments, the housing includes a rigid portion and a flexible portion. The rigid portion is frame-shaped with an opening on one side, and the flexible portion is annular. The flexible portion is connected to the opening of the rigid portion and surrounds the opening of the rigid portion. The rigid portion and the flexible portion enclose a receiving cavity. The side of the flexible portion away from the rigid portion is fixed to the housing and surrounds the mounting opening. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0055] The embodiments of this application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0056] This application provides an electronic device 1000, which includes, but is not limited to, drones, cellphones, laptop computers, tablet computers, personal digital assistants, wearable devices, mobile devices, action cameras, or handheld gimbal cameras. In this application, a cellphone is used as an example for illustration.
[0057] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the electronic device 1000 provided in the embodiments of this application. Figure 2This is a schematic diagram of the split structure of the electronic device 1000 provided in this application embodiment. The electronic device 1000 includes a housing 200, an image acquisition device 100, and a display screen 300. The housing 200 includes a middle frame 210 and a back cover 220. The middle frame 210 includes a frame 230 and a middle plate 240. The frame 230 surrounds the outer periphery of the middle plate 240 and is fixedly connected to the edge of the middle plate 240. The middle plate 240 and the frame 230 form a storage cavity 250, which is used to install components such as the battery 400, the motherboard 500, and the image acquisition device 100. It can be understood that through holes extending along its thickness can be provided on the middle plate 240 to increase the space of the storage cavity 250, thereby better installing components such as the image acquisition device 100. The back cover 220 is connected to one side of the frame 230 to close the storage cavity 250. The display screen 300 is connected to the side of the frame 230 away from the back cover 220 and is used to display pictures, text, and videos.
[0058] The rear cover 220 has a mounting opening 221, which communicates with the storage cavity 250. (Reference) Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of another split structure of the electronic device 1000 provided in this application embodiment. The image acquisition device 100 is disposed in the storage cavity 250 and can extend from the mounting opening 221 to increase the space available for the image acquisition device 100.
[0059] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the image acquisition device 100 provided in this application embodiment. For ease of description, the width direction of the image acquisition device 100 is defined as the X-axis direction (first direction), the length direction of the image acquisition device 100 is defined as the Y-axis direction (second direction), and the height direction of the image acquisition device 100 is defined as the Z-axis direction (third direction). The X-axis direction, Y-axis direction, and Z-axis direction are perpendicular to each other.
[0060] It should be noted that the directional terms such as "top," "bottom," "front," and "rear" used in the description of the image acquisition device 100 in this application are mainly based on the image acquisition device 100 as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 4 The orientation of the image acquisition device 100 is described in the diagram, with the positive Z-axis direction as "top" or "up", the negative Z-axis direction as "bottom" or "down", the negative X-axis direction as "back", and the positive X-axis direction as "front". This does not limit the orientation of the image acquisition device 100 in actual application scenarios.
[0061] The image acquisition device 100 includes a housing 10, a camera assembly 20, and a telescopic assembly 30. The camera assembly 20 is disposed inside the housing 10, and a portion of the telescopic assembly 30 extends into the housing 10. Both the camera assembly 20 and the housing 10 are slidably connected to the telescopic assembly 30, which can drive both the camera assembly 20 and the telescopic assembly 30 to move simultaneously, thus providing sufficient space for the camera assembly 20 to operate.
[0062] refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 yes Figure 4 The diagram shows a schematic of the housing 10 of the image acquisition device 100. The housing 10 is rectangular in shape and has a receiving cavity 11 for accommodating the camera assembly 20 and the telescopic assembly 30. A connecting block 12 and a first sliding member 13 protrude from the inner wall of the receiving cavity 11. The connecting block 12 and the first sliding member 13 can be integrally formed. The connecting block 12 has a first mating hole 14, and both the first mating hole 14 and the first sliding member 13 are used to connect with the telescopic assembly 30. The first sliding member 13 has a dovetail-shaped cross-section.
[0063] When the camera component 20 is working, it requires a large space, while when the camera component 20 is not working, the required space is correspondingly reduced. If a large cavity 11 is directly provided for the camera component 20, the overall size of the image acquisition device 100 will be too large, making it inconvenient for the electronic device 1000 to store. Therefore, in order to balance the ease of operation and storage of the camera component 20, this application embodiment provides a housing 10 with a variable volume for the cavity 11.
[0064] For details, please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6 yes Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the housing 10 of the image acquisition device 100 from another perspective. The housing 10 includes a rigid part 15 and a flexible part 16. The rigid part 15 is a rectangular frame with an opening on one side, and the flexible part 16 is a rectangular ring. The flexible part 16 is connected to the opening of the rigid part 15 and surrounds the opening of the rigid part 15. The rigid part 15 and the flexible part 16 together form a receiving cavity 11. The connecting block 12 and the first sliding member 13 are both fixed to the rigid part 15. The flexible part 16 and the rigid part 15 can be integrally formed or fixed by adhesive. The flexible part 16 can be made of rubber. The flexible part 16 includes at least one curved section. The cross-section of the curved section can be a regular shape such as an arc, triangle, or rectangle, or it can be an irregular shape. This application does not impose any limitations on this.
[0065] At least a portion of the housing 10 is transparent, which allows the camera assembly 20 to receive external light.
[0066] refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8, Figure 7 yes Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of a state in which the housing 10 of the image acquisition device 100 and the outer casing 200 of the electronic device 1000 are connected. Figure 8 yes Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram showing another configuration of the housing 10 of the image acquisition device 100 and the outer casing 200 of the electronic device 1000. The housing 10 is connected to the outer casing 200. Specifically, the flexible portion 16 of the housing 10, away from the rigid portion 15, is connected to the rear cover 220, and the flexible portion 16 surrounds the mounting opening 221 of the rear cover 220, allowing communication between the receiving cavity 11 of the housing 10 and the receiving cavity 250 of the outer casing 200. The flexible portion 16 can be bonded to the rear cover 220 with adhesive to ensure a good seal between the housing 10 and the outer casing 200. The flexible portion 16 can deform to increase or decrease the volume of the receiving cavity 11. Specifically, refer to... Figure 8 When it is necessary to increase the space of the receiving cavity 11, the rigid part 15 is moved away from the outer shell 200, and the curved section of the flexible part 16 gradually flattens out. That is, the flexible part 16 switches from a contracted state to an extended state, thereby increasing the volume of the receiving cavity 11. (Reference) Figure 7 When it is necessary to reduce the volume of the receiving cavity 11, the rigid part 15 is moved toward the outer shell 200, and the bent section of the flexible part 16 gradually returns to the bent state from the flattened state. That is, the flexible part 16 switches from the elongated state to the contracted state, thereby reducing the volume of the receiving cavity 11.
[0067] In other embodiments, the flexible portion 16 may not have a bending section; instead, the volume of the receiving cavity 11 can be changed by the elasticity of the flexible portion 16 itself. Specifically, when it is necessary to increase the space of the receiving cavity 11, the rigid portion 15 is moved away from the outer shell 200, and the flexible portion 16 gradually extends, thereby increasing the volume of the receiving cavity 11. When it is necessary to decrease the volume of the receiving cavity 11, the rigid portion 15 is moved closer to the outer shell 200, and the flexible portion 16 gradually contracts, thereby decreasing the volume of the receiving cavity 11.
[0068] In some other embodiments, the housing 10 may not have the flexible part 16, and the housing 10 may only include the rigid part 15. When the camera assembly 20 is working, the rigid part 15 moves away from the housing 200, and the gap between the rigid part 15 and the housing 200 gradually increases, allowing the camera assembly 20 to use this gap. When the camera assembly 20 is not working, the rigid part 15 moves towards the housing 200, and the gap between the rigid part 15 and the housing 200 gradually decreases until the rigid part 15 and the housing 200 come into contact, so that the mounting opening 221 is completely blocked by the rigid part 15, sealing the storage cavity 250 and the receiving cavity 11 and preventing dust and other foreign objects from entering the storage cavity 250 or the receiving cavity 11.
[0069] In this embodiment, by providing the flexible part 16, it is possible to easily change the volume of the receiving cavity 11 and to make the shell 10 and the outer shell 200 sealed together, preventing moisture, dust and other foreign objects from entering the receiving cavity 250.
[0070] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The image acquisition device 100 also includes a slide rail 17 and a slider 18. One end of the slide rail 17 is connected to the housing 200, specifically to any one of the middle plate 240, frame, or rear cover 220. The other end of the slide rail 17 extends into the receiving cavity 11. The slider 18 is located within the receiving cavity 11 and is connected to the rigid part 15 of the housing 10. The slider 18 is slidably connected to the slide rail 17. As the rigid part 15 moves away from or towards the housing 200, the slider 18 moves along the slide rail 17 to guide the housing 10. Furthermore, since the connection between the housing 10 and the housing 200 is a flexible part 16, under gravity, the flexible part 16 may deform downwards, causing the rigid part 15 to fall. By providing the slide rail 17 and the slider 18, the housing 10 can be supported, thereby preventing the rigid part 15 from falling.
[0071] refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 , Figure 9 yes Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the structure of the camera component 20 of the image acquisition device 100 shown. Figure 10 yes Figure 9 The diagram shows a split structure of the camera assembly 20. The camera assembly 20 can be a gimbal camera unit. The camera assembly 20 includes a camera 21, a second drive component 22, a third drive component 23, a second support frame 40, and a third support frame 50. The camera 21 can be used for taking photos or recording videos. Both the second drive component 22 and the third drive component 23 can be motors or cylinders, and both include a body and a drive component. The body and drive component are connected, and the body enables the drive component to rotate, allowing the drive component to move other components. For example, the body can be the cylinder block of a cylinder, and the drive component can be the connecting rod of the cylinder; the cylinder block can drive the connecting rod to rotate, causing the connecting rod to move other components. Alternatively, the body can be the motor body, and the drive component can be the motor drive shaft; the motor body can enable the drive shaft to rotate, allowing the drive shaft to move other components.
[0072] The second support frame 40 includes a second mounting portion 41 and a second pillar 42, which are fixedly connected along the Z-axis. The second pillar 42 has a second mating hole 43 that penetrates the second pillar 42 along the Y-axis. A second sliding member 44 protrudes from the end face of the second pillar 42 away from the second mounting portion 41. The length direction of the second sliding member 44 is parallel to the X-axis, and the cross-section of the second sliding member 44 is dovetail-shaped. The second sliding member 44 is used to mate with the second guide groove 67. The second pillar 42 has a weight-reduction hole 45, which can reduce the weight of the second support frame 40, thereby reducing the weight of the entire image acquisition device 100 and facilitating the lightweight design of the electronic device 1000. The second mounting portion 41 is annular and has a second mounting hole 46 for mounting the body portion of the second drive member 22.
[0073] The third support frame 50 includes a second rotating member 51 and a third mounting portion 52. One end of the second rotating member 51 and one end of the third mounting portion 52 are fixedly connected. An angle exists between the second rotating member 51 and the third mounting portion 52, which is between 80 and 100 degrees. For example, the angle can be 80, 85, 90, 95, or 100 degrees, etc. The second rotating member 51 and the third mounting portion 52 enclose a receiving space 53, which is approximately L-shaped. The second rotating member 51 is annular and is used to connect to the driving portion of the second driving member 22. The third mounting portion 52 is annular and has a third mounting hole 54 for mounting the body portion of the third driving member 23.
[0074] The second rotating member 51 and the third mounting part 52 can be connected by an adapter 55. The adapter 55 includes a first adapter segment 56 and a second adapter segment 57 fixedly connected at their ends. The second rotating member 51 is fixed to the end of the first adapter segment 56 away from the second adapter segment 57, and the third mounting part 52 is fixed to the end of the second adapter segment 57 away from the first adapter segment 56. There is an included angle between the first adapter segment 56 and the second adapter segment 57. This included angle is between 80 degrees and 100 degrees, for example, it can be 80 degrees, 85 degrees, 90 degrees, 95 degrees, or 100 degrees, etc. Connecting the second rotating member 51 and the third mounting part 52 by the adapter 55 increases the volume of the accommodating space 53 and prevents interference from the camera 21 and other components subsequently installed on the third support frame 50.
[0075] The body of the second drive member 22 is connected to the second mounting hole 46 of the second mounting part 41, and the drive part of the second drive member 22 extends out of the second mounting hole 46.

The body of the third drive member 23 is connected to the third mounting hole 54 of the third mounting part 52, and the drive part of the third drive member 23 extends out of the third mounting hole 54 and is located within the receiving space 53. The camera 21 is connected to the drive part of the third drive member 23 and is located within the receiving space 53, thereby increasing the structural compactness of the camera assembly 20 and reducing the size of the image acquisition device 100.
[0076] The second rotation axis of the second drive member 22 is parallel to the Y-axis, and the third rotation axis of the third drive member 23 is parallel to the X-axis. When the second drive member 22 is working, it can drive the camera 21 to rotate around the Y-axis, and the third drive member 23 can drive the camera 21 to rotate around the X-axis, thereby enabling the camera 21 to capture a wider range of scenery.
[0077] In some other embodiments, the third driving member 23 and the third support frame 50 may not be provided. Instead, the camera 21 may be directly connected to the driving part of the second driving member 22, so that the second driving member 22 can drive the camera 21 to rotate around the Y-axis. In this case, compared with the stationary camera 21, the camera 21 can also acquire a larger range of scenery.
[0078] refer to Figure 11 and Figure 12 , Figure 11 yes Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the structure of the telescopic component 30 of the image acquisition device 100 shown. Figure 12 yes Figure 11 The diagram shows a split structure of the telescopic assembly 30. The telescopic assembly 30 includes a fixed base 60, a first driving member 31, a first rotating member 70, a first connecting member 80, and a second connecting member 90.
[0079] In some embodiments, the fixing base 60 is rectangular. In other embodiments, the fixing base 60 may be cylindrical, triangular prism, etc., and this application is not limited thereto. The fixing base 60 includes a first surface 61, a second surface 62, and a mounting side surface 63, wherein the first surface 61 and the second surface 62 are opposite to each other along the thickness direction of the fixing base 60.

[0080] The mounting base 60 is provided with a first guide groove 64, a guide protrusion 65, and a first support frame 66. The first guide groove 64 is recessed in the first surface 61 and extends through the mounting side 63. The extension direction of the first guide groove 64 is parallel to the X-axis direction. The first guide groove 64 is used to connect the housing 10. Along the direction from the first surface 61 to the second surface 62, the inner diameter of the first guide groove 64 gradually increases. Specifically, the first guide groove 64 can be a dovetail groove.
[0081] A guide protrusion 65 protrudes from the first surface 61, and its edge is flush with the mounting side 63 to make the structure of the fixing base 60 more compact. The guide protrusion 65 has a second guide groove 67, which is recessed on the side of the guide protrusion 65 opposite to the first surface 61 and extends through the side of the guide protrusion 65. The extension direction of the second guide groove 67 is parallel to the X-axis direction, and the second guide groove 67 is used to connect the camera assembly 20. Along the direction from the first surface 61 to the second surface 62, the inner diameter of the second guide groove 67 gradually increases. Specifically, the second guide groove 67 can be a dovetail groove.
[0082] The first support frame 66 protrudes from the first surface 61, and its edge is flush with the mounting side 63 to increase the structural compactness of the fixing base 60. The guide slide protrusion 65 and the first support frame 66 are spaced apart along the Y-axis. The first support frame 66 includes a first mounting portion 68 and a first support column 69, which are fixedly connected along the Z-axis. There are two first support columns 69, with one end of each column away from the first mounting portion 68 connected to the first surface 61. The first mounting portion 68 is annular and has a first mounting hole 681 for mounting the first driving member 31. Along the Y-axis, the second guide groove 67, the first guide groove 64, and the first support frame 66 are arranged sequentially at intervals parallel to the central axis of the X-axis. The guide slide protrusion 65 and the first support frame 66 are parallel to the central axis of the Y-axis to increase the structural compactness of the fixed seat 60. The first guide slide 64 and the second guide slide 67 are offset from each other in the direction of the Y-axis to prevent interference between the housing 10 and the camera assembly 20.
[0083] In some other embodiments, the first surface 61 may not have the guide protrusion 65, but the second guide groove 67 may be directly recessed into the first surface 61.
[0084] The first driving member 31 includes a body and a driving part. The first driving member 31 can be a motor or cylinder, and both the body and the driving part of the first driving member 31 can be cylindrical. The first driving member 31 is disposed on the fixed base 60, and the body of the first driving member 31 is connected to the fixed base 60. Specifically, the body of the first driving member 31 is connected to the first mounting hole 681 of the fixed base 60. The driving part of the first driving member 31 extends out of the first mounting hole 681 and is directly opposite to the first surface 61 of the fixed base 60 along the Z-axis direction. The first rotation axis of the first driving member 31 is parallel to the Y-axis direction. Along the Y-axis direction, the driving part of the first driving member 31 is located between the second guide groove 67 and the first support frame 66, that is, the driving part of the first driving member 31 is relatively close to the first guide groove 64 and the second guide groove 67, so as to facilitate the connection of the driving part of the first driving member 31 to the camera assembly 20 and the housing 10.
[0085] refer to Figure 11 and Figure 12 The first rotating member 70 can be annular, and its outer circumferential surface is provided with a first protrusion 71 and a second protrusion 72. The first rotating member 70 is fixedly sleeved on the driving part of the first driving member 31. The first protrusion 71 and the second protrusion 72 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the first rotating member 70. Along the Z-axis, the first protrusion 71 is located below the second protrusion 72; furthermore, the first protrusion 71 is located at the bottom of the first rotating member 70, and the second protrusion 72 is located at the top of the first rotating member 70. The interval between the first protrusion 71 and the second protrusion 72 along the circumference of the first rotating member 70 is between 160 degrees and 190 degrees. This ensures that the distance between the first protrusion 71 and the second protrusion 72 is sufficiently large to avoid interference between the first connecting member 80 connected to the first protrusion 71 and the second connecting member 90 connected to the second protrusion 72. The first protrusion 71 is provided with a first rotating hole 73, and the second protrusion 72 is provided with a second rotating hole 74. The first rotating hole 73 is used to connect with the first connecting member 80, and the second rotating hole 74 is used to connect with the second connecting member 90.
[0086] The first connecting member 80 can be in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped plate. A first connecting hole 81 and a second connecting hole 82 are respectively provided at both ends of the first connecting member 80. A first pin 83 is connected to the first connecting hole 81, and the first connecting hole 81 and the first pin 83 are used to connect with the first protrusion 71. A second pin 84 is connected to the second connecting hole 82, and the second connecting hole 82 and the second pin 84 are used to connect with the housing 10. Specifically, the first pin 83 can be inserted into the first rotating hole 73 and the first connecting hole 81 to connect the first protrusion 71 of the first rotating member 70 and the first connecting member 80. The first connecting member 80 can rotate axially around the first pin 83, realizing a rotational connection between the first rotating member 70 and the first connecting member 80.
[0087] The second connecting member 90 is a rectangular thin plate, with a third connecting hole 91 and a fourth connecting hole 92 at each end. A third pin 93 is connected to the third connecting hole 91, and the third connecting hole 91 and the third pin 93 are used to connect to the second protrusion 72. A fourth pin 94 is connected to the fourth connecting hole 92, and the fourth connecting hole 92 and the fourth pin 94 are used to connect to the camera assembly 20. Specifically, the third pin 93 can be inserted into the third connecting hole 91 and the second rotating hole 74 of the second protrusion 72 to connect the second protrusion 72 of the first rotating member 70 and the second connecting member 90. The second connecting member 90 can rotate axially around the third pin 93, achieving a rotational connection between the first rotating member 70 and the second connecting member 90.
[0088] The first connector 80 and the second connector 90 are located on both sides of the first rotating member 70 along the Y-axis, and can interfere with the wall surface.
[0089] In this embodiment, the first rotating member 70 and the first connecting member 80, the connecting block 12 of the housing 10 and the first connecting member 80, the first rotating member 70 and the second connecting member 90, and the camera assembly 20 and the second connecting member 90 are all rotatably connected by rotating connectors. The rotating connectors can be the aforementioned first pin 83, second pin 84, third pin 93, and fourth pin 94. The rotating connectors can also be other components such as ball joints. This application is not limited to these components.
[0090] It is understood that when the first rotating member 70 and the first connecting member 80 are connected by a rotating connector, the rotating connector can rotate relative to the first rotating member 70 or relative to the first connecting member 80. In other words, the rotating connector can rotate within the first connecting hole 81 or within the first rotating hole 73.
[0091] When the housing 10 and the first connecting member 80 are connected by a rotating connector, the rotating connector can rotate relative to the first connecting member 80 or relative to the housing 10. In other words, the rotating connector can rotate within the second connecting hole 82 or within the first mating hole 14.
[0092] When the first rotating member 70 and the second connecting member 90 are connected by a rotating connector, the rotating connector can rotate relative to the first rotating member 70 or relative to the second connecting member 90. In other words, the rotating connector can rotate within the second rotating hole 74 or within the third connecting hole 91.
[0093] When the camera assembly 20 and the second connector 90 are connected by a rotating connector, the rotating connector can rotate relative to the camera assembly 20 or relative to the second connector 90. In other words, the rotating connector can rotate within the second mating hole 43 or within the fourth connecting hole 92.
[0094] refer to Figure 13 and Figure 14 , Figure 13 yes Figure 4 The image acquisition device 100 shown is in a retracted state. Figure 14 yes Figure 4 The diagram shows the image acquisition device 100 in an extended state. The telescopic assembly 30 is connected to the housing 200 of the electronic device 1000. Specifically, the telescopic assembly 30 can be connected to any one of the rear cover 220, the middle plate 240, or the frame 230. For example, the fixing base 60 is connected to the middle plate 240 by welding, bonding, or fastener connection. A portion of the telescopic assembly 30 is located within the receiving cavity 250, and another portion of the telescopic assembly 30 can extend into the receiving cavity 11. A portion of the fixing base 60 is located within the receiving cavity 250, and another portion of the fixing base 60 extends into the receiving cavity 11. The first sliding member 13 is slidably connected to the first guide groove 64, so that the housing 10 is slidably connected to the fixing base 60. The top and bottom of the first connecting member 80 are rotatably connected to the first rotating member 70 and the housing 10, respectively. Specifically, the top of the first connecting member 80 is rotatably connected to the first protrusion 71, and the bottom of the first connecting member 80 is rotatably connected to the housing 10. The first pin 83 rotatably connects the top of the first connector 80 and the first protrusion 71. A second pin 84 extends into the second connecting hole 82 and the first mating hole 14 of the housing 10 to achieve a rotatable connection between the housing 10 and the first connector 80. It is understood that when the housing 10 includes a rigid portion 15 and a flexible portion 16, the fixing seat 60 and the rigid portion 15 are slidably connected, and the first connector 80 and the rigid portion 15 are rotatably connected. In some other embodiments, the telescopic assembly 30 may also be completely located within the receiving cavity 11, in which case the fixing seat 60 is fixed to the surface of the rear cover 220 facing away from the receiving cavity 250.
[0095] A portion of the camera assembly 20 is located within the receiving cavity 250, while another portion extends into the receiving cavity 11. A second slider 44 is slidably connected to a second guide groove 67, allowing the camera assembly 20 to be slidably connected to the fixing seat 60. The front and rear portions of the second connector 90 are rotatably connected to the second connector 90 and the camera assembly 20, respectively. Specifically, the front portion of the second connector 90 is rotatably connected to the second protrusion 72, and the rear portion of the second connector 90 is rotatably connected to the camera assembly 20. A fourth pin 94 extends into the fourth connecting hole 92 and the second mating hole 43 of the camera assembly 20 to achieve a rotatable connection between the camera assembly 20 and the second connector 90. It is understood that in some other embodiments, the camera assembly 20 may also be entirely located within the receiving cavity 11.
[0096] refer to Figure 15 , Figure 15 yes Figure 13 The diagram shows a partial structure of the image acquisition device 100 in a retracted state. When the camera assembly 20 is not in operation, the flexible part 16 is in a retracted state, and the first connecting member 80 has an angle α between its central axis along its length direction and the X-axis direction, that is, the first connecting member 80 is tilted at an angle α relative to the X-axis direction. The second connecting member 90 has an angle b between its central axis along its length direction and the Z-axis direction, that is, the second connecting member 90 is tilted at an angle b relative to the Z-axis direction.
[0097] The first driving member 31 enables the first rotating member 70 to rotate, which in turn causes the first connecting member 80 and the second connecting member 90 to rotate. Along a first direction, the first connecting member 80 causes the housing 10 to slide away from or towards the fixed base 60, and the second connecting member 90 causes the camera assembly 20 to slide away from or towards the fixed base 60. If both the housing 10 and the camera assembly 20 slide away from the fixed base 60, the space between the housing 10 and the telescopic assembly 30 increases, allowing the camera 21 sufficient space to rotate. If both the housing 10 and the camera assembly 20 slide towards the fixed base 60, the space between the housing 10 and the telescopic assembly 30 decreases, reducing the volume of the image acquisition device 100. It is understood that the space between the housing 10 and the telescopic assembly 30 is part of the receiving cavity 11.
[0098] For details, please refer to Figure 16 and Figure 17 , Figure 16 yes Figure 14 The image acquisition device 100 shown is in a partially extended state, as illustrated in the diagram. Figure 17 yes Figure 4The diagram illustrates the switching between an extended and retracted state of the image acquisition device 100. When the camera 21 is needed to take a photo or record video, the first drive member 31 is activated to drive the first rotating member 70 to rotate along a first rotation direction. The first rotating member 70 drives the first connecting member 80 to rotate via the first protrusion 71, and the first rotating member 70 drives the second connecting member 90 to rotate via the second protrusion 72. When the first connecting member 80 rotates along the first rotation direction, the end of the first connecting member 80 connected to the first rotating member 70 gradually moves upward, and the tilt angle of the first connecting member 80 decreases to c, that is, angle a is greater than angle c. The end of the first connecting member 80 connected to the housing 10 pushes the housing 10 to move away from the outer shell 200, the first sliding member 13 slides along the first guide groove 64, the flexible part 16 gradually switches to an extended state, and the space of the receiving cavity 11 gradually increases. At the same time, when the second connector 90 rotates along the first rotation direction, the end of the second connector 90 connected to the first rotating member 70 gradually moves downward, and the tilt angle of the second connector 90 increases to d, that is, angle b is less than angle d. The end of the second connector 90 connected to the camera assembly 20 pushes the camera assembly 20 to move away from the housing 200.
[0099] At this time, due to the increased space in the receiving cavity 11, when the second drive member 22 and the third drive member 23 are working, the camera 21 has enough space to rotate to more angles to increase the shooting range of the camera 21.
[0100] After the camera 21 is used, the first driving component 31 drives the first rotating component 70 to rotate in the second rotation direction. The first rotating component 70 drives the first connecting component 80 and the second connecting component 90 to rotate in the second rotation direction. The first connecting component 80 gradually returns to its tilt angle 'a' and moves the housing 10 closer to the outer shell 200. The flexible part 16 gradually switches to a contracted state, and the space of the receiving cavity 11 gradually decreases. The second connecting component 90 gradually returns to its tilt angle 'b' and moves the camera assembly 20 closer to the outer shell 200. At this time, the entire image acquisition device 100 is smaller in size, making it easier to store the electronic device 1000. One of the first and second rotation directions is clockwise, and the other is counterclockwise.
[0101] In this embodiment, the first driving member 31 can simultaneously drive the camera assembly 20 and the housing 10 to move, which conveniently and quickly increases the activity space of the camera 21 and reduces the number of parts in the image acquisition device 100.
[0102] The above are merely some embodiments and implementation methods of this application. The scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
