Abstract

This application relates to the field of terminal technology, and particularly to a lifting assembly, a camera device, and an electronic device. The lifting assembly includes a base, an outer casing, a lifting member, a first connecting arm, and a power assembly. A first end of the outer casing is rotatably connected to the base, and a second end of the lifting member is rotatably connected to a second end of the outer casing. The first end of the lifting member is closer to the first end of the outer casing than the second end of the lifting member. The lifting member has a light-transmitting portion that is exposed relative to the outer casing. A first end of the first connecting arm is rotatably connected to the base, and a second end of the first connecting arm is movably connected to the first end of the lifting member. During the rotation of the outer casing and the first connecting arm relative to the base, the lifting member moves up and down relative to the base. Because the outer casing can rotate relative to the base, and the lifting member can move up and down relative to the base, the lifting assembly can significantly increase its internal space during operation and maintain a small volume when not in operation, making it easily applicable to smaller, thinner electronic devices.

Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] With the development of technology, the camera functions in consumer electronics products such as mobile phones and tablets are becoming more and more powerful. As a result, the size of the camera module is also becoming larger and larger. Under the condition of pursuing thinness and lightness in electronic devices, the appearance of the camera area protrudes significantly, which greatly affects the user experience.

[0003] In related technologies, the camera can be configured as a pop-up structure. During shooting, part of the camera's structure extends from the electronic device to increase the available optical space and achieve high-quality shooting. When shooting is not needed, the aforementioned structure of the camera retracts into the electronic device to prevent the camera from protruding and affecting the appearance of the electronic device. The camera's outer cover has protective exterior parts that rise and fall accordingly when the camera is raised or lowered.

[0004] In the existing technology, when the camera is large in size, it is necessary to provide a new lifting mechanism. 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, an exterior component, a lifting component, a first connecting arm, and a power assembly. The exterior component includes a first end and a second end opposite to each other, with the first end of the exterior component rotatably connected to the base; the lifting component includes a first end and a second end opposite to each other, with the second end of the lifting component rotatably connected to the second end of the exterior component, and the first end of the lifting component being closer to the first end of the exterior component than the second end of the lifting component; the lifting component has a light-transmitting portion that is exposed relative to the exterior component; the first connecting arm includes a first end and a second end opposite to each other, with the first end of the first connecting arm rotatably connected to the base, and the second end of the first connecting arm movably connected to the first end of the lifting component; the power assembly is used to drive the first connecting arm, the lifting component, or the exterior component to raise or lower the lifting component relative to the base.

[0007] For example, the lifting component and the exterior component may be exposed relative to the base; when the lifting assembly is applied in an electronic device, the lifting component and the exterior component are also exposed to the electronic device.

[0008] The base, the exterior component, the lifting component, and the first connecting arm constitute a deformable mechanism. Among the base, the exterior component, the lifting component, and the first connecting arm, the two connected to each other can move relative to each other. When any one of the exterior component, the lifting component, and the first connecting arm is driven, the other two can be driven and move, enabling the lifting assembly to deform.

[0009] In this context, a movable connection can refer to a connection between two connected components that can move relative to each other. For example, the two components can rotate relative to each other and / or move relative to each other. For instance, a movable connection can include a rotational connection and / or a sliding connection.

[0010] In this embodiment, since the exterior component is rotatably connected to the base, the exterior component can be driven to rotate relative to the base; since both the exterior component and the first connecting arm can move relative to the base, and the lifting component is supported by the exterior component and the first connecting arm, the lifting component moves up and down relative to the base during the rotation of the exterior component and the first connecting arm relative to the base.

[0011] Furthermore, since the outer components can rotate relative to the base and the lifting components can rise and fall relative to the base, the internal space can be increased to a great extent during the deformation movement of the lifting assembly, and it can have a small volume when not in operation, making it easy to apply to smaller and thinner electronic devices.

[0012] In some embodiments, the base includes a base and a enclosure. The enclosure has a first receiving hole. A portion of the exterior component is located in the first receiving hole and exposed. A light-transmitting portion is located in the first receiving hole and exposed. The base is located inside the enclosure and is fixedly connected to the enclosure. The first end of the exterior component is rotatably connected to the base. The first end of the first connecting arm is rotatably connected to the base.

[0013] In this embodiment, the exterior component can protrude from the first receiving hole, allowing it to rotate relative to the base. The lifting component can also protrude from the first receiving hole, enabling it to rise and fall relative to the base, thereby increasing the space inside both the exterior component and the lifting component. Furthermore, the enclosure surrounds the exterior component, and the base is located inside the enclosure. Therefore, the shape and position of the base can be rationally configured according to the space available for the lifting assembly, facilitating efficient use of space.

[0014] In some embodiments, the exterior component has a second receiving hole, and the light-transmitting part is located in the second receiving hole.

[0015] For example, the second outer surface of the outer surface member surrounds the lifting member. A gap may be left between the outer surface member and the wall of the second receiving hole. In this case, since the lifting member and the outer surface member are rotatably connected, when the two rotate relative to each other, the displacement of different parts of the lifting member relative to the outer surface member is different. By leaving a gap, the collision between the lifting member and the outer surface member during movement is avoided.

[0016] In this embodiment, the outer part surrounds the lifting part, which helps to make the structure of the lifting assembly more regular. When the lifting assembly is applied to electronic devices, there is no need to consider the gap setting between the lifting part and the outer shell of the electronic device, which helps to improve the waterproof and dustproof capabilities of the electronic device.

[0017] In some embodiments, the appearance component includes a first appearance portion and a second appearance portion, the first appearance portion and the second appearance portion are arranged and fixedly connected along a first direction, the first direction being perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the lifting component relative to the base; a second receiving hole is opened in the second appearance portion, the end of the first appearance portion away from the second appearance portion is the first end of the appearance component, and the end of the second appearance portion away from the first appearance portion is the second end of the appearance component.

[0018] In this embodiment, in the lifting assembly, the lifting component can move a large distance by lifting, while the appearance component can be rotated, and the displacement of different parts can be different. The displacement of the first appearance part is smaller than that of the second appearance part, so that the area where the lifting component is located in the lifting assembly achieves a large displacement, while the area where the first appearance part is located achieves a small displacement. This is beneficial to reduce the area and height of the lifting component, and thus reduce the volume of the lifting component.

[0019] In some embodiments, the lifting component is a rectangular cylindrical structure, the light-transmitting part is a rectangular structure, the second receiving hole is a rectangular hole, the first external appearance part is a rectangular or trapezoidal cover structure, and the second external appearance part is a rectangular cylindrical structure.

[0020] In this embodiment, the shape of the light-transmitting part is adapted to the shape of the lifting member, which is beneficial to provide a light-transmitting part with a larger area in the lifting member; the shapes of the lifting member and the second receiving hole are adapted to each other and are both rectangular, and both the lifting member and the second receiving hole have straight plate-shaped sidewalls. When the lifting member and the hole wall of the second receiving hole rotate relative to each other, the straight plate-shaped sidewalls of the two can be translated relative to each other, which is beneficial to avoid collision between the lifting member and the hole wall of the second receiving hole.

[0021] In some embodiments, the portions of the exterior component exposed relative to the base and the portions of the lifting component exposed relative to the base are arranged along a first direction, which is perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the lifting component relative to the base; the light-transmitting portion is rectangular, the lifting component is a rectangular cover structure, and the exterior component is a rectangular cover structure.

[0022] For example, the portion of the exterior component exposed relative to the base may be the top of the exterior component, and the portion of the lifting component exposed relative to the base may be the top of the lifting component.

[0023] In this embodiment, the periphery of the top of the lifting component is positioned opposite to the wall of the second receiving hole, while only the first external portion of the exterior component protrudes from the second receiving hole. The exposed portions of the exterior component and the exposed portions of the lifting component are arranged side by side, and the smaller size of the exterior component facilitates the narrow design of the lifting assembly.

[0024] In some embodiments, the lifting assembly has a raised state and a retracted state; during the process of the lifting assembly switching from the retracted state to the raised state, the first end of the exterior component rotates relative to the base, and the second end of the exterior component is raised relative to the base; the second end of the lifting assembly follows the second end of the exterior component to be raised relative to the base and rotates relative to the second end of the exterior component, the first end of the lifting assembly is raised relative to the exterior component, and the lifting assembly is raised relative to the base.

[0025] For example, during the process of the lifting component switching from the raised state to the retracted state, the movement of each component of the lifting component is the opposite of the process of switching from the retracted state to the raised state.

[0026] In this embodiment, the lifting assembly has a larger internal space when it is raised, and the space occupied by the raised part is greater than the space occupied by the first external part of the external part when it is flipped up. The lifting assembly has a smaller height when it is retracted, which is beneficial to the thin design of the lifting assembly. The lifting assembly can switch between the raised and retracted states and remain in the raised and retracted states.

[0027] In some embodiments, the lifting member has a first exposed surface that is exposed relative to the exterior member, and the first exposed surface in the raised state is parallel to the first exposed surface in the retracted state.

[0028] For example, in the lifting assembly, the first exposed surface can have a small displacement in the first direction compared to the retracted state. Specifically, in the lifting assembly, because the outer component is relatively long, the rotation angle of the outer component is small after switching from the retracted state to the raised state, and the movement distance of the first exposed surface in the first direction is also small.

[0029] In this embodiment, after the lifting component is raised, neither its first exposed surface nor its light-transmitting part deflects. Therefore, the light-transmitting part will not affect the light entering the inside of the lifting component, and the structure of the lifting assembly is more reasonable. This is beneficial for ensuring the shooting quality of electronic devices when the lifting assembly is used.

[0030] In some embodiments, the exterior component has a second exposed surface, and when the lifting assembly is in the retracted state, the first exposed surface is flush with the second exposed surface.

[0031] In this embodiment, the lifting component and the exterior component are partially flush, which helps the exterior component to protect the lifting component and reduce the height of the lifting assembly. It also makes the exposed surface of the lifting assembly more regular and improves the reliability of the lifting assembly.

[0032] In some embodiments, the exterior component has a third exposed surface and the base has a first surface, wherein when the lifting assembly is in the retracted state, the third exposed surface is lower than the first surface.

[0033] In this embodiment, the third exposed surface has a height difference with the first surface, and the appearance component is at least partially higher than the base. When the lifting component is applied to an electronic device, it is beneficial to expose the third exposed surface on the surface of the electronic device, while the first surface is located inside the electronic device, which is beneficial for the thin design of the electronic device.

[0034] In some embodiments, the lifting member has a top and a side, the side of the lifting member being circumferentially fixed to the periphery of the top of the lifting member, and a light-transmitting portion being formed on the top of the lifting member; the appearance member has a top and a side, the side of the appearance member being circumferentially fixed to the periphery of the top of the appearance member, and the top of the appearance member surrounding the top of the lifting member; the top of the appearance member is exposed relative to the base, and the top of the lifting member is exposed relative to the appearance member; when the lifting assembly is in the raised state, a portion of the structure of the side of the appearance member is exposed relative to the base; a portion of the structure of the side of the lifting member is exposed relative to the appearance member; when the lifting assembly is in the retracted state, the side of the appearance member is located inside the base, and the side of the lifting member is located inside the appearance member.

[0035] In the retracted state, the top of the exterior component can cover the opening of the base (such as the first receiving hole), and the top of the lifting component can cover the opening of the exterior component (such as the second receiving hole). In the raised state, the top and side of the exterior component can cover the opening of the base, and the top and side of the lifting component can cover the opening of the exterior component.

[0036] In this embodiment, the outer appearance component and the lifting component can shield the inner side of the lifting component to protect the inner space. Furthermore, since the outer appearance component can be flipped, it provides shielding. Compared to existing technologies where only the lifting component moves up and down to provide shielding, the height of the side of the lifting component in this embodiment can be less than its raised height, making it easier to achieve a lower height and smaller area for the lifting component, thus facilitating a thinner design for the lifting assembly.

[0037] In some embodiments, the second end of the first connecting arm is rotatably connected to the first end of the lifting member.

[0038] In this embodiment, the base, the first connecting arm, the exterior component, and the lifting component constitute a four-bar linkage. By driving any one of the three components—the first connecting arm, the exterior component, or the lifting component—the lifting component can be raised or lowered relative to the base, and the exterior component can be rotated relative to the base. The lifting assembly has a simpler structure, more flexible component arrangement, and a wider range of applications.

[0039] In some embodiments, the base, the outer frame, the lifting element, and the first connecting arm constitute a parallelogram linkage mechanism.

[0040] In this embodiment, when the parallelogram linkage mechanism deforms, the lifting component moves up and down relative to the base. That is, the lifting component only moves relative to the base and does not rotate relative to the base. Therefore, after the lifting component is raised, neither its first outer surface nor its light-transmitting part deflects. Thus, the light-transmitting part will not affect the light entering the inside of the lifting component, and the structure of the lifting assembly is more reasonable. This is beneficial for the lifting assembly to be used in electronic devices, thus ensuring the shooting quality of the electronic devices.

[0041] In some embodiments, the second end of the first connecting arm is slidably connected to the first end of the lifting member; the lifting assembly also includes a first rotating arm, the first end of the first rotating arm being rotatably connected to the outer appearance member, and the second end of the first rotating arm being rotatably connected to the first connecting arm.

[0042] In this embodiment, the base, the exterior component, the lifting component, the first connecting arm, and the first rotating arm constitute a deformable mechanism. When any one of these four components is driven, the other three can also be driven and moved, enabling the lifting assembly to deform. Furthermore, since the exterior component is rotatably connected to the base, it can be driven to rotate relative to the base. Because both the exterior component and the first connecting arm can move relative to the base, and their movements are linked by the first rotating arm, and the lifting component is supported by the exterior component and the first connecting arm, the lifting component rises and falls relative to the base during the rotation of the exterior component and the first connecting arm relative to the base.

[0043] In addition, since the lifting component is rotatably connected to the outer part and slidably connected to the first connecting arm, the lifting component can rotate and move relative to the first connecting arm. This is beneficial for controlling the movement path of the lifting component by setting the sliding path of the second end of the first connecting arm relative to the first end of the lifting component, which is conducive to making the lifting component rise and fall in a translational manner.

[0044] In some embodiments, the connection between the first rotating arm and the exterior component is located between the connection between the exterior component and the lifting component and the connection between the exterior component and the base.

[0045] In this embodiment, the exterior component is relatively long and has a large volume. The first rotating arm is connected to the middle of the exterior component. On the one hand, this is beneficial to setting a shorter first rotating arm, thereby saving space. On the other hand, it is beneficial to amplify the displacement of the lifting component. The lifting component can achieve a large displacement by rotating the first connecting arm and the second connecting arm at a small angle.

[0046] In some embodiments, the axis of rotation of the exterior component relative to the base is the first axis, the axis of rotation of the exterior component relative to the lifting component is the second axis, the axis of rotation of the first connecting arm relative to the base is the third axis, and the axis of rotation of the first connecting arm relative to the lifting component is the fourth axis. The distance between the first axis and the second axis is greater than the distance between the third axis and the fourth axis.

[0047] In this embodiment, the length of the first connecting arm is shorter than the length of the outer part, the first connecting arm occupies less space, and it is easy to design the first connecting arm as a straight rod. The first connecting arm has a relatively simple structure. Furthermore, the length of the lifting assembly can be mainly determined by the length of the outer part, which is conducive to setting a shorter length of the lifting assembly, thereby facilitating the miniaturization design of the lifting assembly.

[0048] In some embodiments, one of the base and the outer appearance component is provided with a first rotating groove, and the other is provided with a first rotating part. The first rotating groove is an arc-shaped groove, and the first rotating part is an arc-shaped block. The first rotating part is rotatably connected to the groove wall of the first rotating groove so that the outer appearance component is rotatably connected to the base.

[0049] In this embodiment, the base and the outer part are connected by a virtual axis through the cooperation of the first rotating part and a rotating groove. The axis of the virtual axis may not be located on the structural body of the base or the outer part, but in the external space of the base or the outer part. This means that the structure of the base or the outer part does not need to cover the space where the axis of the virtual axis (first axis) is located, which helps to reduce the volume of the base or the outer part and facilitates the thin design of the lifting assembly.

[0050] In some embodiments, one of the lifting component and the appearance component is provided with a second rotating groove, and the other is provided with a second rotating part. The second rotating groove is an arc-shaped groove, and the second rotating part is an arc-shaped block. The second rotating part is rotatably connected to the groove wall of the second rotating groove so that the lifting component is rotatably connected to the appearance component.

[0051] In this embodiment, the lifting component and the appearance component are connected by a virtual axis through the cooperation of the second rotating part and the second rotating groove. The axis of the virtual axis may not be located on the structural body of the lifting component or the appearance component, but in the external space of the lifting component or the appearance component. This means that the structure of the lifting component or the appearance component does not need to cover the space where the axis of the virtual axis (second axis) is located, which helps to reduce the volume of the lifting component or the appearance component and facilitates the thin design of the lifting assembly.

[0052] In some embodiments, the lifting assembly further includes a second connecting arm, which is located on opposite sides of the lifting member, with the first connecting arm and the second connecting arm rotatably connected to the base and the second connecting arm movably connected to the first end of the lifting member.

[0053] For example, the second connecting arm and the first connecting arm can be generally symmetrical.

[0054] For example, the lifting assembly may also include a second rotating arm, and the second rotating arm and the first rotating arm may be generally symmetrical.

[0055] In this embodiment, by setting a second connecting arm, which is connected to the lifting component and the first connecting arm respectively, the lifting component is subjected to force on both sides, which helps to make the force on the lifting component more balanced, thereby making the lifting of the lifting component more stable.

[0056] In some embodiments, the power assembly includes a drive motor, a first crank, a first connector, a second connector, and a drive member; wherein, the drive motor is fixedly connected to a base, the first end of the first crank is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor, the second end of the first crank is rotatably connected to the first end of the first connector, the second end of the first connector is rotatably connected to the first end of the second connector, the second end of the second connector is rotatably connected to the first end of the drive member, the second end of the drive member is rotatably connected to the base, and the drive member abuts against a first connecting arm; the axis of rotation of the drive member relative to the base is a first rotation axis, the axis of rotation of the drive member relative to the second connector is a second rotation axis, the axis of rotation of the second connector relative to the first connector is a third rotation axis, and the axis of rotation of the output shaft of the drive motor is a fourth rotation axis; the first rotation axis is parallel to the second rotation axis, the third rotation axis is parallel to the fourth rotation axis, and the first rotation axis is perpendicular to the fourth rotation axis.

[0057] In this embodiment, the output shaft of the drive motor and the length direction of the first connecting arm are roughly the same, which makes it easy to reasonably set the position of the power component in the lifting component, which is conducive to the rational use of space and also conducive to the miniaturization of the lifting component.

[0058] In some embodiments, the power assembly further includes an elastic element that elastically connects the drive member and the first connecting arm, and causes the drive member to abut against the first connecting arm.

[0059] In this embodiment, when the lifting assembly switches from the retracted state to the raised state, the drive member transmits driving force through the spring, causing the first connecting arm to rotate clockwise; when the lifting assembly switches from the raised state to the retracted state, the abutment portion of the drive member drives the first connecting arm to rotate counterclockwise. When the lifting assembly is in the raised state, if the lifting assembly or the exterior component is subjected to external force, the first connecting arm can compress the spring to prevent the external force from being further transmitted in the power assembly, thereby achieving shock absorption and protecting the lifting assembly.

[0060] In some embodiments, the power assembly includes a drive motor, a first crank, and a first connector;

[0061] The drive motor is fixedly connected to the base, the first end of the first crank is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor, the second end of the first crank is rotatably connected to the first end of the first connector, and the second end of the first connector is rotatably connected to the outer appearance component.

[0062] In this embodiment, the power component has a simple structure and directly drives the movement of the appearance component, which helps to improve the stability of the movement of the appearance component and the lifting component.

[0063] 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 camera module faces the light-transmitting portion of the lifting assembly.

[0064] In this embodiment, the lifting component provides optical space for the camera module to take pictures by lifting and the outer appearance component by flipping, and also shields the structure of the camera module to protect the camera module. Furthermore, the camera device is easy to achieve a thin design.

[0065] In some embodiments, the camera module is a periscope camera, which has a light-inlet section and a photosensitive element. In the direction of the central axis of the light-inlet section, a lifting member covers the light-inlet section, and an outer member at least partially covers the photosensitive element.

[0066] In this embodiment, the camera module is relatively long and the area of ​​the light-receiving part is small, while the lifting component is also relatively long and the area of ​​the lifting component can be set to be relatively small. This makes it highly adaptable to periscope cameras. When the camera device is applied to electronic devices, the area of ​​the lifting component protruding relative to the electronic device is relatively small when it is raised, which helps to improve the reliability of the lifting and also enhances the user experience.

[0067] 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 and the exterior components being exposed outside the housing.

[0068] For example, the housing may have a second surface, and when the lifting assembly of the camera device is in the retracted state, the third exposed surface of the exterior component may be flush with the second surface of the housing, so as to make the outer surface of the electronic device smoother and improve the user experience.

[0069] In this embodiment, the camera device is easy to design in a thin form, thus making it easy to design electronic devices in a thin form and providing a good user experience. Attached Figure Description

[0114] The embodiments of this application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0115] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, "joining" can be a detachable connection or a non-detachable connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be an electrical connection or a mechanical connection. "Fixed connection" refers to a connection where the relative positional relationship remains unchanged after connection. "Movable connection" refers to a connection where the relative positional relationship can change after connection. "Rotary connection" refers to a connection where the relative positional relationship can change. "Sliding connection" refers to a connection where the relative positional relationship can change. Furthermore, the integrated structure obtained by a one-piece molding process means that during the formation of one of the two components, that component is connected to the other component without requiring further processing (such as bonding, welding, snap-fit ​​connections, or screw connections) to connect the two components. Components A and B can be arranged relative to each other such that component A is projected along the target direction to obtain projection C, and component B is projected along the target direction to obtain projection D, with projection C and projection D at least largely overlapping. In some embodiments, the majority overlap can be any of the following: projection C is entirely within projection D; or projection D is entirely within projection C; or projection C and projection D intersect each other, and the intersection area of ​​projection C and projection D accounts for more than 50% of projection C or projection D.

[0119] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the electronic device 1000 provided in some embodiments of this application. Figure 2 yes Figure 1 A partial exploded view of the electronic device 1000 shown.

[0120] In some embodiments, the electronic device 1000 can 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 1000 is a mobile phone as an example for description. Of course, other types of electronic devices 1000 can also adopt a similar structure, which will not be described in detail below.

[0121] Understandable, Figure 1 and Figure 2The electronic device 1000 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 Due to limitations, electronic device 1000 may also include, compared to Figure 1 and Figure 2 More or fewer parts.

[0122] In some embodiments, the electronic device 1000 may include a camera device 100, a screen 200, and a housing 300. The screen 200 is used to display images, videos, etc. The screen 200 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.

[0123] For example, the housing 300 is used to protect the internal electronic components of the electronic device 1000. The housing 300 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 1000. 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.

[0124] For example, the camera device 100 is used to capture photos / videos. For example, the camera device 100 is mounted within a housing 300, located within the internal accommodating space of the electronic device 1000. The camera device 100 can be used as a rear-facing camera. For example, the light-incident surface of the camera device 100 faces the camera trim 3003. The camera trim 3003 is used to protect the camera device 100.

[0125] 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 100 in the thickness direction of the electronic device 1000. 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 1000.

[0126] 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 100. In some other embodiments, the electronic device 1000 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 100.

[0127] In some embodiments, the camera device 100 may also be used as a front-facing camera. For example, the light-incident surface of the camera device 100 faces the light-transmitting panel 2001. The display screen 2002 is provided with 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 100. In some embodiments, the electronic device 1000 may also include one or more other camera modules 20 (not shown in the figures), which are not strictly limited in this application.

[0128] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the electronic device 1000 may further include a circuit board 400 and an image processor 500. The circuit board 400 and the image processor 500 are located within the internal accommodating space of the electronic device 1000. The image processor 500 is fixed to and electrically connected to the circuit board 400. The image processor 500 is communicatively connected to the camera device 100. The image processor 500 is used to acquire image data from the camera device 100 and process the image data. The communication connection between the camera device 100 and the image processor 500 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 100 and the image processor 500 may also achieve a communication connection through other methods capable of data transmission.

[0129] In some embodiments, the electronic device 1000 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 100 and the image processor 500. The analog-to-digital converter is used to convert the signal generated by the camera device 100 into a digital image signal and transmit it to the image processor 500, whereby the image processor 500 processes the digital image signal and finally displays the image or video on the screen 200.

[0130] In some embodiments, the electronic device 1000 may further include a memory (not shown in the figure), which is communicatively connected to the image processor 500. The image processor 500 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 200 at any time when it is needed to view the image later. In some embodiments, the image processor 500 may also compress the processed digital image signal before storing it in the memory to save memory space.

[0131] In some other embodiments, the electronic device 1000 may also not include the screen 200.

[0132] Understandable, Figure 1 and Figure 2The installation position of the camera device 100 in the illustrated embodiment of the electronic device 100 is merely illustrative, and this application does not strictly limit the installation position of the camera device 100. In some other embodiments, the camera device 100 may also be installed in other locations on the electronic device 1000, such as the upper middle or upper right corner of the back of the electronic device 1000. In some other embodiments, the electronic device 1000 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 100 may also be disposed on the auxiliary component.

[0133] Please refer to the following: Figures 3 to 5 , Figure 3 yes Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the protruding portion of the camera device 100 in the electronic device 1000 shown. Figure 4 yes Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the internal structure of the camera device 100 in some embodiments of the electronic device 1000 shown; Figure 5 yes Figure 4 The diagram shows the structure of the camera device 100 in some usage states.

[0134] In some embodiments, the camera device 100 may include a lifting assembly 10 and a camera module 20. The lifting assembly 10 has a lifting member 3 capable of lifting and lowering and an exterior member 2 capable of flipping. The lifting member 3 allows light to pass through, and the camera module 20 can be installed in the internal space of the lifting assembly 10. The camera module 20 may include a lens 201 and a photosensitive element 202, which are spaced apart.

[0135] In this embodiment, the lifting member 3 of the lifting assembly 10 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 10. This allows the lens 201 or part of the lens 201 of the camera module 20 to move away from the photosensitive element 202, increasing the distance between the lens 201 or part of the lens 201 and the photosensitive element 202, thus increasing the focal length and enabling the electronic device 1000 to achieve telephoto shooting, thereby improving the shooting effect. Furthermore, since the lifting member 3 can extend through the through hole 3004, the light-receiving surface of the camera device 100 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 100, thus improving the image quality. The top side of the lifting member 3 is translucent, serving as the light-receiving surface of the camera device 100.

[0136] The outer casing 2 of the lifting assembly 10 and the lifting assembly 3 can both be exposed outside the housing 300 of the electronic device 1000. During the process of the lifting assembly 3 rising to the extended position, the outer casing 2 can rotate relative to the housing 300 at a certain angle. For example, one end of the outer casing 2 connected to the lifting assembly 3 can rotate relative to the other end of the outer casing 2, thereby causing the entire outer casing 2 to rotate relative to the housing 300. By rotating the outer casing 2, part of the sidewall of the lifting assembly 3 can be shielded, and the outer casing 2 can also shield part of the structure of the camera module 20. The lifting assembly 3 does not need to shield the entire camera module 20, which helps to reduce the size of the lifting assembly 3.

[0137] When the lifting component 3 extends, the lifting assembly 10 is in the raised state, and the exterior component 2 is in the flipped-up state.

[0138] After the shooting is completed, the lifting component 3 can be lowered back to the initial position, reducing the overall thickness of the camera device 100 and allowing more of the lifting component 3 to be located in the internal space of the lifting assembly 10, which is beneficial to protecting the lifting component 3; the outer part 2 can be flipped back to the initial position, making the structure of the electronic device 1000 more regular.

[0139] When the lifting component 3 retracts, the lifting assembly 10 is in a retracted state, and the exterior component 2 is in a flattened state.

[0140] In some embodiments, the exterior component 2 may be flush with the housing 300.

[0141] For example, when the lifting member 3 is in the retracted state, the surface of the outer member 2 can be flush with the surface of the housing 300 facing away from the screen 200. For example, the surface of the outer member 2 is flat, and at least one plane of the camera decorative member 3003 is coplanar with the surface of the outer member 2.

[0142] For ease of description, the camera device 100 is defined to have a length direction, a width direction, and a thickness direction. The length direction of the camera module is parallel to the X direction, the width direction is parallel to the Y direction, and the thickness direction is parallel to the Z direction. When the lifting assembly 10 is installed in the electronic device 1000 along with the camera device 100, the height direction of the lifting assembly 10 can be parallel to the thickness direction of the electronic device, that is, perpendicular to the cover plate 3001 and the screen 200 of the electronic device 1000. The light-incident side (i.e., the side used for light intake) of the lifting assembly 10 is the top side of the lifting assembly 10, and the bottom side of the lifting assembly 10 is opposite to the top side. When the camera device 100 is used as a rear camera, the side of the lifting assembly 10 closest to the cover plate 3001 is its top side, and the side closest to the screen 200 is its bottom side. In the following descriptions, the part of the lifting assembly 10 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 the lifting assembly 10 and its components and structures, the side housed within the outer casing 300 is designated as the "inner side," and the side exposed outside the outer casing 300 is designated as the "outer side." In other embodiments, the coordinate system of the lifting assembly 10 can be flexibly configured according to specific practical needs.

[0143] Please refer to the following: Figures 6 to 8 , Figure 6 yes Figure 4 The diagram shown illustrates the structure of a lifting assembly 10 in a raised state in some embodiments. Figure 7 yes Figure 6 The diagram shows the lifting assembly 10 in its retracted state. Figure 8 yes Figure 6 The lifting assembly 10 shown is an exploded structural diagram in some embodiments.

[0144] In some embodiments, the lifting assembly 10 may include a base 1, an exterior component 2, a lifting component 3, and a linkage assembly 4.

[0145] For example, the base 1 can be located at the bottom of the lifting assembly 10. The base 1 can serve as a mounting structure and load-bearing structure for other components of the lifting assembly 10.

[0146] The base 1 can be a generally plate-shaped structural component. In other embodiments, the base 1 can also be a thin-shell-shaped structural component or other forms of structural components, which can be set according to requirements. This embodiment does not specifically limit the shape of the base 1. The base 1 can be a one-piece structural component or it can be assembled from multiple components. This embodiment does not specifically limit the shape of the base 1.

[0147] For example, the outer casing 2 can be movably connected to the base 1. The outer casing 2 can be located approximately on the top side of the lifting assembly 10. The outer casing 2 can be generally a cover structure, enclosing a cover space to accommodate other components. The outer casing 2 can be a thin-shell structure. The outer casing 2 can be a one-piece structural component. In some other examples, the outer casing 2 can also be a separate structural component. It is understood that the outer casing 2 can move relative to the base 1.

[0148] For example, the linkage assembly 4 can be connected to the base 1. For instance, the linkage assembly 4 may include multiple links and can form a linkage mechanism capable of deformable motion. It is understood that the linkage assembly 4 can move relative to the base 1. The linkage assembly 4 can be connected to the lifting member 3, which transmits power to the lifting member 3 and causes it to move accordingly. In some examples, the linkage assembly 4 can be connected to the exterior member 2, which transmits power to the exterior member 2 and causes it to move accordingly.

[0149] For example, the lifting member 3 can be movably connected to the linkage assembly 4 and the outer appearance member 2. The lifting member 3 can move up and down relative to the base 1 under the combined drive of the linkage assembly 4 and the outer appearance member 2. The lifting member 3 can move up and down in the thickness direction (e.g., the Z direction) of the lifting assembly 10. The lifting member 3 can be generally shaped like a cover, with a cover space formed inside to accommodate other components.

[0150] like Figure 6 The lifting assembly 10 can be in the raised state. At this time, the lifting component 3 can extend relative to the base 1, and the outer component 2 can be flipped up relative to the base 1. The lifting component 3 is supported by the connecting rod assembly 4 and the outer component 2. The space on the bottom side of the lifting component 3 and the outer component 2 is relatively large, which makes it easy to accommodate other components of electronic devices (such as camera modules).

[0151] like Figure 7 The lifting assembly 10 can be in a retracted state. At this time, the lifting member 3 can retract relative to the base 1, and the outer part 2 can be flattened relative to the base 1. At least part of the structure of the lifting member 3 is housed by the outer part 2, and the height of the lifting member 3 is reduced. Therefore, the overall thickness of the lifting assembly 10 is thinner and occupies less thickness space. Thus, when the lifting assembly 10 is applied in electronic devices, it is beneficial to make the overall thickness of the electronic devices thinner and to facilitate the thin design of electronic devices.

[0152] The lifting assembly 10 can switch between a lifting state and a retracted state. For example, the lifting assembly 10 can be composed of... Figure 7 Switching to retraction state Figure 6The raised state can specifically be such that the linkage assembly 4 can be driven by an input force, which causes the linkage assembly 4 and the outer appearance component 2 to move, thereby causing the outer appearance component 2 to flip relative to the base 1, and the lifting component 3 to rise relative to the base 1. It can be understood that the lifting assembly 10 can... Figure 6 Switching to the raised state Figure 7 The retracted state, this movement process can be roughly the opposite of the process of the lifting component 10 changing from the retracted state to the raised state.

[0153] In some embodiments, the lifting assembly 10 may further include a power assembly 5.

[0154] For example, the power assembly 5 can output torque and can serve as a power source for the lifting assembly 10, and can be used to output power to any of the connecting rod assembly 4, the outer appearance component 2, or the lifting component 3. For instance, the power assembly 5 can output power by being energized. The power assembly 5 can be mounted on the base 1. The power assembly 5 can be housed inside the base 1, and the base 1 provides mounting, fixation, and protection for the power assembly 5.

[0155] In some other embodiments, the lifting assembly 10 may not include the power assembly 5. In this case, the movement of the lifting assembly 10 can be powered manually or by an external power source.

[0156] Please see Figure 9 , Figure 9 yes Figure 8 The base 1 shown is an exploded structural diagram in some embodiments.

[0157] In some embodiments, the base 1 may include a base 11 and a enclosure 12.

[0158] The base 11 is a thin plate structure. For example, the base 11 may include a first side portion 111, a connecting portion 112, and a second side portion 113. The connecting portion 112 connects the first side portion 111 and the second side portion 113, which are disposed opposite to each other. For example, in the X direction, the length of the connecting portion 112 is longer than the length of the first side portion 111 and the length of the second side portion 113.

[0159] For example, the base 11 may also include a first rotating portion 114. The first rotating portion 114 may be an arc-shaped block. The arc-shaped block may be a block structure extending along an arc. The first rotating portion 114 may be formed on the connecting portion 112. For example, the first rotating portion 114 may include two arc-shaped blocks. The two arc-shaped blocks may be symmetrically distributed, but are not limited thereto.

[0160] For example, the base 11 may further include a first rotating shaft 115 and a second rotating shaft 116. The first rotating shaft 115 and the second rotating shaft 116 may each be generally cylindrical. The first rotating shaft 115 may be located on a first side 111, on the side of the first side 111 opposite to the second side 113. The second rotating shaft 116 may be located on a second side 113, on the side of the second side 113 opposite to the first side 111. The first rotating shaft 115 and the second rotating shaft 116 may be coaxially arranged.

[0161] The enclosure 12 may be ring-shaped. For example, the enclosure 12 may have a first receiving hole 121 that extends through the enclosure 12. The shape of the first receiving hole 121 may be approximately the same as the shape of the enclosure 12.

[0162] For example, the enclosure 12 may have a thin-walled structure. The enclosure 12 may include a top plate 122 and a side plate 123, with the top plate 122 fixedly connected to the side plate 123 and the side plate 123 surrounding the top plate 122. The first receiving hole 121 may penetrate through the top plate 122.

[0163] For example, the thickness of the fence 12 gradually decreases along its length and as it extends from one end to the other.

[0164] For example, the enclosure 12 may have a first surface 124. The first surface 124 may be the top surface of the enclosure 12, and the first surface 124 may be a plane.

[0165] In this embodiment, the base 1 is a split structural component to reasonably arrange the shapes of the base 11 and the enclosure 12, and to facilitate the assembly of the lifting assembly 10. In some other embodiments, the base 1 may also be a one-piece structural component.

[0166] Please refer to the following: Figure 10 and Figure 11 , Figure 10 yes Figure 8 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of the exterior component 2 in some embodiments. Figure 11 yes Figure 10 The diagram shows the structure of exterior component 2 from another perspective. It is understood that... Figure 11 The perspective is Figure 10 The perspective after being flipped.

[0167] In some embodiments, the exterior component 2 may have a first end 21 and a second end 22 opposite to each other, with the first end 21 of the exterior component 2 fixedly connected to the second end 22. The exterior component 2 may have a generally rectangular cover structure, forming a cover space.

[0168] For example, such as Figure 10The appearance component 2 may include a first appearance portion 23 and a second appearance portion 24, with the first appearance portion 23 connected to the second appearance portion 24. The first appearance portion 23 and the second appearance portion 24 may be arranged along the length direction of the appearance component 2. In the thickness direction of the appearance component 2, the second appearance portion 24 may protrude beyond the first appearance portion 23. The first end 21 of the appearance component 2 may be the end of the first appearance portion 23 away from the second appearance portion 24, and the second end 22 of the appearance component 2 may be the end of the second appearance portion 24 away from the first appearance portion 23. The height of the appearance component 2 (in the Z direction) gradually increases from the first end 21 to the second end 22. For example, the length of the first appearance portion 23 in the X direction and the length of the second appearance portion 24 in the X direction may be approximately the same, but this is not a limitation.

[0169] For example, such as Figure 11 The exterior component 2 may include a top 25 and a side 26, with the side 26 being circumferentially fixed to the periphery of the top 25. It is understood that the top 25 and side 26 of the exterior component 2 form a first exterior portion 23 on the left side, and the top 25 and side 26 of the exterior component 2 form a second exterior portion 24 on the right side.

[0170] The exterior component 2 may have a second exposed surface 241 and a third exposed surface 231. The second exposed surface 241 may be the top 25 of the exterior component 2 located on the outer surface of the second exterior portion 24, and the third exposed surface 231 may be the top 25 of the exterior component 2 located on the outer surface of the first exterior portion 23. For example, the second exposed surface 241 and the third exposed surface 231 may each be a plane. For example, the second exposed surface 241 and the third exposed surface 231 may form a stepped surface, and the second exposed surface 241 may be higher than the third exposed surface 231. In some other examples, the second exposed surface 241 and the third exposed surface 231 may be flush.

[0171] For example, see reference Figure 10 and Figure 11 The exterior component 2 may also be provided with a second rotating part 27. The second rotating part 27 may be an arc-shaped block. The arc-shaped block may be a block structure extending along an arc. For example, the second rotating part 27 may include two arc-shaped blocks. The two arc-shaped blocks may be symmetrically distributed, but are not limited thereto. The second rotating part 27 may be located at the second end 22 of the exterior component 2. For example, the second rotating part 27 may be located on the inner wall of the second exterior part 24.

[0172] For example, the exterior component 2 may also have a first rotating groove 28. The first rotating groove 28 may be an arc-shaped groove, which may be a groove extending along an arc. For example, the first rotating groove 28 may include two grooves, and the openings of the two grooves may be arranged opposite to each other. The first rotating groove 28 may be formed at the first end 21 of the exterior component 2. For example, the first rotating groove 28 may be formed on the inner wall of the first exterior part 23, and the first rotating groove 28 may be located at the bottom of the exterior component 2.

[0173] For example, the exterior component 2 may also have a first rotating hole 29 and a second rotating hole 210. The first rotating hole 29 and the second rotating hole 210 may each be a cylindrical hole, and both may be through holes penetrating the sidewall of the first exterior component 23. The first rotating hole 29 and the second rotating hole 210 may be coaxially arranged. Both the first rotating hole 29 and the second rotating hole 210 may be located between the first rotating groove 28 and the second rotating part 27. For example, the first rotating hole 29 and the second rotating hole 210 may be located at the bottom of the exterior component 2.

[0174] For example, the outer appearance component 2 may have a second receiving hole 211. The second receiving hole 211 may be a through hole penetrating the outer appearance component 2 to connect the cover space of the second receiving hole 211 and the external space on the top side of the outer appearance component 2. The second receiving hole 211 may be formed in the second outer appearance portion 24. In this case, the first outer appearance portion 23 may be a generally trapezoidal cover structure, and the second outer appearance portion 24 may be a generally rectangular cylindrical structure. The sizes of the first outer appearance portion 23 and the second outer appearance portion 24 may be approximately the same. The second receiving hole 211 may be surrounded by a structure in which the second outer appearance portion 24 protrudes from the first outer appearance portion 23. It is understood that in the rectangular structure of this embodiment, the connection between the edges can be smoothly transitioned by rounded corners.

[0175] Please refer to the following: Figure 12 and Figure 13 , Figure 12 yes Figure 8 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of the lifting component 3 in some embodiments. Figure 13 yes Figure 11 The diagram shows the structure of exterior component 2 from another perspective. It is understood that... Figure 13 The perspective is Figure 12 The perspective after being flipped.

[0176] In some embodiments, the lifting member 3 may have a first end 31 and a second end 32 opposite to each other. The lifting member 3 may have a generally rectangular cover structure, and the lifting member 3 may enclose a cover space.

[0177] For example, the lifting member 3 may have a second rotating groove 33. The second rotating groove 33 may be an arc-shaped groove, which may be a groove extending along an arc. For example, the first rotating groove 28 may include two grooves, and the openings of the two grooves may be arranged opposite to each other. The second rotating groove 33 may be formed at the second end 32 of the lifting member 3.

[0178] For example, the lifting member 3 may also have a third rotating hole 34 and a fourth rotating hole 35. The third rotating hole 34 and the fourth rotating hole 35 may be coaxially arranged. Both the third rotating hole 34 and the fourth rotating hole 35 may be through holes penetrating the lifting member 3. The third rotating hole 34 and the fourth rotating hole 35 may be elliptical cylindrical holes, oblong cylindrical holes, or irregular track grooves, respectively. The third rotating hole 34 and the fourth rotating hole 35 may be located at the first end 31 of the lifting member 3. For example, the third rotating hole 34 and the fourth rotating hole 35 may be located at the bottom of the lifting member 3.

[0179] For example, such as Figure 13 The lifting member 3 may include a top 36 and a side 37, with the side 37 of the lifting member 3 being circumferentially fixed to the periphery of the top 36 of the lifting member 3. The top 36 of the lifting member 3 may be provided with a light-transmitting portion 361, which allows light to pass through while simultaneously closing the top 36 of the lifting member 3. The light-transmitting portion 361 may occupy a large portion of the area of ​​the top 36 of the lifting member 3. For example, the light-transmitting portion 361 may be rectangular, but is not limited thereto. Exemplarily, the lifting member 3 may have a first exposed surface 362. The first exposed surface 362 may be the surface of the top 36 of the lifting member 3 located on the top side. For example, the first exposed surface 362 may be a plane. For example, a second rotating groove 33 may be formed on the outer surface of the side 37 of the lifting member 3.

[0180] Please refer to the following: Figures 14A to 15B , Figure 14A It is along Figure 6 A sectional view of the structure cut at point AA. Figure 14B It is along Figure 7 A sectional view of the structure cut off at point BB. Figure 15A It is along Figure 6 A sectional view of the structure cut at point CC. Figure 15B It is along Figure 7 A sectional view of the structure cut at point DD.

[0181] In some embodiments, the first end 21 of the exterior component 2 is rotatably connected to the base 1, and the second end 32 of the lifting component 3 is rotatably connected to the second end 22 of the exterior component 2.

[0182] For example, see reference Figure 14A and Figure 14BThe first rotating part 114 of the base 1 is located within the first rotating groove 28 of the outer appearance part 2, and the first rotating part 114 is rotatably connected to the groove wall of the first rotating groove 28, so that the first end 21 of the outer appearance part 2 is rotatably connected to the base 11 of the base 1. The axis of rotation of the outer appearance part 2 relative to the base 1 is the first axis 1a, which can be located in the external space of the base 1. For example, the first axis 1a can be located in the top space of either the base 1 or the outer appearance part 2. In this example, the first rotating part 114 is disposed on the base 1, and the first rotating groove 28 is disposed on the outer appearance part 2. In other examples, the first rotating part 114 can be disposed on the outer appearance part 2, and the first rotating groove 28 can be disposed on the base 1.

[0183] At this time, through the cooperation of the first rotating part 114 and the rotating groove 28, the base 1 and the outer part 2 form a virtual axis rotational connection. The axis of the virtual axis may not be located on the structural body of the base 1 or the outer part 2, but in the external space of the base 1 or the outer part 2. This means that the structure of the base 1 or the outer part 2 does not need to cover the space where the axis of the virtual axis (first axis 1a) is located, which helps to reduce the volume of the base 1 or the outer part 2 and facilitates the thin design of the lifting assembly 10. In some other embodiments, the base 1 and the outer part 2 may also be rotatably connected by a physical axis, which is not limited in this application.

[0184] For example, see reference Figure 15A and Figure 15B The second rotating part 27 of the exterior component 2 is located within the second rotating groove 33 of the lifting component 3, and the second rotating part 27 is rotatably connected to the groove wall of the second rotating groove 33, so that the second end 32 of the lifting component 3 is rotatably connected to the second end 22 of the exterior component 2. The axis of rotation of the lifting component 3 relative to the exterior component 2 is the second axis 2a, which can be located in the external space of the lifting component 3. For example, the second axis 2a can be located in the top space of either the lifting component 3 or the exterior component 2. In this example, the second rotating part 27 is disposed on the exterior component 2, and the second rotating groove 33 is disposed on the lifting component 3. In other examples, the second rotating part 27 can be disposed on the lifting component 3, and the second rotating groove 33 can be disposed on the exterior component 2.

[0185] In this embodiment, the lifting member 3 and the exterior member 2 are connected by a virtual axis through the cooperation of the second rotating part 27 and the second rotating groove 33. The axis of the virtual axis may not be located on the structural body of the lifting member 3 or the exterior member 2, but in the external space of the lifting member 3 or the exterior member 2. This means that the structure of the lifting member 3 or the exterior member 2 does not need to cover the space where the axis of the virtual axis (second axis 2a) is located, which helps to reduce the volume of the lifting member 3 or the exterior member 2 and facilitates the thin design of the lifting assembly 10. In some other embodiments, the lifting member 3 and the exterior member 2 may also be connected by a physical axis, which is not limited in this application.

[0186] In some embodiments, the lifting member 3 and the exterior member 2 are at least partially located in the first receiving hole 121 of the base 1, and the lifting member 3 and the exterior member 2 are exposed relative to the base 1.

[0187] For example, since the first receiving hole 121 is formed in the enclosure 12 of the base 1, the enclosure 12 surrounds the outer appearance part 2, and the enclosure 12 may also surround the lifting part 3. There may be a gap between the outer appearance part 2 and the side wall of the first receiving hole 121, thereby providing space for the lifting part 3 and the base 1 to move relative to each other, and avoiding collision between the lifting part 3 and the enclosure 12 of the base 1.

[0188] In some embodiments, the lifting member 3 may be partially located in the second receiving hole 211 of the outer appearance member 2. In some examples, the light-transmitting portion 361 may be located in the second receiving hole 211.

[0189] For example, the second exterior portion 24 of the exterior component 2 surrounds the lifting component 3. A gap may be left between the exterior component 2 and the wall of the second receiving hole 211. In this case, since the lifting component 3 and the exterior component 2 are rotatably connected, when the two rotate relative to each other, the displacement of different parts of the lifting component 3 relative to the exterior component 2 is different. By leaving a gap, collision between the lifting component 3 and the exterior component 2 during movement is avoided. The exterior component 2 surrounding the lifting component 3 helps to make the structure of the lifting assembly 10 more regular. When the lifting assembly 10 is applied to electronic devices, there is no need to consider the gap setting between the lifting component 3 and the housing of the electronic device, which helps to improve the waterproof and dustproof capabilities of the electronic device.

[0190] It is understandable that when the lifting member 3 moves relative to the outer appearance member 2, the lifting member 3 can extend from the top side of the second receiving hole 211 relative to the outer appearance member 2 to increase the space inside the lifting assembly 10.

[0191] Please see Figure 16 , Figure 16 yes Figure 8 Exploded view of the middle connecting rod assembly 4.

[0192] In some embodiments, the linkage assembly 4 may include a first connecting arm 41. The first connecting arm 41 may be a generally rod-shaped structure. The first connecting arm 41 may include a first end 411 and a second end 412, with the first end 411 connected to the second end 412.

[0193] For example, the first connecting arm 41 may have a fifth rotating hole 4111. The fifth rotating hole 4111 may be located at the first end 411 of the first connecting arm 41. The fifth rotating hole 4111 may be a through hole or a cylindrical hole.

[0194] For example, the first connecting arm 41 may have a sixth rotating hole 413. The sixth rotating hole 413 may be formed between the first end 411 and the second end 412 of the first connecting arm 41. The sixth rotating hole 413 may be a cylindrical hole. The sixth rotating hole 413 may extend through the first connecting arm 41.

[0195] For example, the first connecting arm 41 may also include a third rotating shaft 4121. The third rotating shaft 4121 may be located at the second end 412 of the first connecting arm 41. The third rotating shaft 4121 may be a cylindrical shaft.

[0196] For example, the first connecting arm 41 may further include a fixing groove 414 and a fixing post 415. The fixing groove 414 may be formed between the fifth rotating hole 4111 and the sixth rotating hole 413. The fixing post 415 may be partially located within the fixing groove 414 and may protrude toward the bottom side of the first connecting arm 41.

[0197] In some embodiments, the linkage assembly 4 may further include a second connecting arm 42. The second connecting arm 42 may be a generally rod-shaped structure, and the second connecting arm 42 may include a first end 421 and a second end 422, with the first end 421 connected to the second end 422.

[0198] For example, the structure of the second connecting arm 42 can be substantially the same as that of the first connecting arm 41. The second connecting arm 42 may include a seventh rotating hole 4211, an eighth rotating hole 423 and a fourth rotating shaft 4221, and the specific structure can be referred to the structure of the first connecting arm 41, which will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0199] In some embodiments, the linkage assembly 4 may further include a first rotating arm 43 and a second rotating arm 44.

[0200] The first rotating arm 43 can be a generally rod-shaped structure. The first rotating arm 43 may include a first end 431 and a second end 432, with the first end 431 connected to the second end 432.

[0201] For example, the first rotating arm 43 may have a fifth rotating shaft 4311 and a sixth rotating shaft 4321. The fifth rotating shaft 4311 and the sixth rotating shaft 4321 may each be a cylindrical shaft. The fifth rotating shaft 4311 may be located at the first end 431 of the first rotating arm 43, and the sixth rotating shaft 4321 may be located at the second end 432 of the first rotating arm 43.

[0202] The second rotating arm 44 may include a first end 441 and a second end 442, with the first end 441 connected to the second end 442. For example, the second rotating arm 44 may include a seventh rotating shaft 4411 and an eighth rotating shaft 4421. For details, please refer to the first rotating arm 43; further details will not be repeated in this embodiment.

[0203] Please see Figure 17A and Figure 17B , Figure 17A yes Figure 6 The diagram shows a partial structural representation of the lifting assembly 10 in some embodiments. Figure 17B yes Figure 7 The diagram shows a partial structure of the lifting assembly 10 in some embodiments.

[0204] In some embodiments, the first end 411 of the first connecting arm 41 is rotatably connected to the base 11 of the base 1, and the second end 412 of the first connecting arm 41 is movably connected to the first end 31 of the lifting member 3.

[0205] For example, the first rotating shaft 115 of the base 1 can be located in the fifth rotating hole 4111 of the first connecting arm 41 and rotatably connected to the hole wall of the fifth rotating hole 4111.

[0206] For example, the third pivot 4121 of the first connecting arm 41 (shown as dashed in the figure, see reference) Figure 16 The third rotating hole 34 of the lifting component 3 (shown as a dashed line in the figure, see reference) can be located in the third rotating hole 34 of the lifting component 3. Figure 12 The first connecting arm 41 has its second end 412 slidably connected to the first end 31 of the lifting member 3. It is understood that the third rotating shaft 4121 can rotate within the third rotating hole 34, and the third rotating shaft 4121 can also generate displacement relative to the lifting member 3 within the third rotating hole 34.

[0207] For example, the first connecting arm 41 may be located inside the base 1. Furthermore, the first connecting arm 41 may be located on the side of the first side 111 of the base 11 opposite to the second side 113, and located in one side space of the lifting member 3.

[0208] Among them, the axis on which the first connecting arm 41 rotates relative to the base 1 is the third axis 3a, and the axis on which the first connecting arm 41 rotates relative to the lifting member 3 is the fourth axis 4a.

[0209] At this time, by setting the first connecting arm 41, the lifting component 3 and the appearance component 2 are supported by the base 1 and the first connecting arm 41, wherein the lifting component 3 is supported by the first connecting arm 41 and the appearance component 2.

[0210] In some embodiments, the first end 431 of the first rotating arm 43 is rotatably connected to the outer appearance component 2, and the second end 432 of the first rotating arm 43 is rotatably connected to the first connecting arm 41.

[0211] For example, the fifth pivot 4311 of the first rotating arm 43 can be located in the first rotating hole 29 of the outer part 2 and rotatably connected to the hole wall of the first rotating hole 29. The sixth pivot 4321 of the first rotating arm 43 can be located in the second rotating hole 210 of the outer part 2 and rotatably connected to the hole wall of the second rotating hole 210.

[0212] For example, the first rotating arm 43 may be located inside the base 1. Also, the first rotating arm 43 may be located inside the outer appearance component 2.

[0213] At this time, by setting the first rotating arm 43, the base 1, the appearance part 2, the first connecting arm 41 and the first rotating arm 43 form a four-bar linkage mechanism, thereby making the first connecting arm 41 and the appearance part 2 move in linkage, and through the linkage movement of the first connecting arm 41 and the appearance part 2, the lifting part 3 is driven to rise and fall relative to the base 1.

[0214] It is understandable that any two of the four components—base 1, exterior component 2, first connecting arm 41, and first rotating arm 43—that are connected can rotate relative to each other. Based on the connection between the lifting component 3 and the first connecting arm 41 and the exterior component 2, the lifting component 3 can rotate relative to the exterior component 2, and the lifting component 3 can rotate and move relative to the first connecting arm 41.

[0215] In this embodiment, the base 1, the outer appearance component 2, the lifting component 3, the first connecting arm 41, and the first rotating arm 43 constitute a deformable mechanism. When any one of these components is driven, the other three can be driven and moved, enabling the lifting assembly 10 to deform. Furthermore, since the outer appearance component 2 is rotatably connected to the base 1, it can be driven to rotate relative to the base 1. Because both the outer appearance component 2 and the first connecting arm 41 can move relative to the base 1, and their movements are linked by the first rotating arm 43, and the lifting component 3 is supported by the outer appearance component 2 and the first connecting arm 41, the lifting component 3 rises and falls relative to the base 1 during the rotation of the outer appearance component 2 and the first connecting arm 41 relative to the base 1.

[0216] In addition, since the lifting member 3 is rotatably connected to the outer appearance member 2 and the lifting member 3 is slidably connected to the first connecting arm 41, the lifting member 3 can rotate and move relative to the first connecting arm 41. This is beneficial to control the movement path of the lifting member 3 by setting the sliding path of the second end 412 of the first connecting arm 41 relative to the first end 31 of the lifting member 3, which is beneficial to make the lifting member 3 rise and fall in a translational manner.

[0217] In some embodiments, the connection point between the first rotating arm 43 and the outer appearance component 2 is located between the connection point between the outer appearance component 2 and the lifting component 3 and the connection point between the outer appearance component 2 and the base 1. For example, the connection point between the first rotating arm 43 and the outer appearance component 2 is also the connection point between the fifth rotating shaft 4311 and the first rotating hole 29; the connection point between the outer appearance component 2 and the lifting component 3 is located at the second end 22 of the outer appearance component 2; and the connection point between the outer appearance component 2 and the base 1 is located at the first end 21 of the outer appearance component 2. In this case, the outer appearance component 2 is relatively long and has a large volume. The first rotating arm 43 is essentially connected to the middle position of the outer appearance component 2. This is advantageous in two ways: firstly, it allows for a shorter first rotating arm 43, thus saving space; secondly, it facilitates amplifying the displacement of the lifting component 3, as a small angle of rotation of the first connecting arm 41 and the second connecting arm 42 is sufficient to achieve a large displacement of the lifting component 3.

[0218] In some embodiments, in conjunction with reference Figure 13 , Figure 14A , Figure 15A and Figure 15B The axis of rotation of the exterior component 2 relative to the base 1 is the first axis 1a, and the axis of rotation of the exterior component 2 relative to the lifting component 3 is the second axis 2a. The axis of rotation of the first connecting arm 41 relative to the base 1 is the third axis 3a, and the axis of rotation of the first connecting arm 41 relative to the lifting component 3 is the fourth axis 4a. The distance between the first axis 1a and the second axis 2a is greater than the distance between the third axis 3a and the fourth axis 4a.

[0219] In this embodiment, the length of the first connecting arm 41 is shorter than the length of the outer part 2. The first connecting arm 41 occupies less space, making it easier to design the first connecting arm 41 as a straight rod. The first connecting arm 41 has a relatively simple structure. Furthermore, the length of the lifting assembly 10 can be mainly determined by the length of the outer part 2, which is conducive to setting a shorter length of the lifting assembly 10, thereby facilitating the miniaturization design of the lifting assembly 10.

[0220] In some embodiments, please continue reading Figure 17A The second connecting arm 42 and the first connecting arm 41 are located on opposite sides of the lifting component 3. The first end 421 of the second connecting arm 42 is rotatably connected to the base 1, and the second end 422 of the second connecting arm 42 is movably connected to the first end 31 of the lifting component 3. The first end 441 of the second rotating arm 44 is rotatably connected to the outer appearance component 2, and the second end 442 of the second rotating arm 44 is rotatably connected to the first connecting arm 41.

[0221] The configuration of the second connecting arm 42 can refer to the configuration of the first connecting arm 41, and the configuration of the second rotating arm 44 can refer to the configuration of the first rotating arm 43. This embodiment will not be described in detail.

[0222] The second connecting arm 42 and the first connecting arm 41 can be approximately symmetrical. For example, the seventh rotating hole 4211 of the second connecting arm 42 (see...) Figure 16 The fifth rotating hole 4111 of the first connecting arm 41 and the fifth rotating hole 423 of the second connecting arm 42 can be coaxially arranged; the eighth rotating hole 423 of the second connecting arm 42 (see Figure 16 The sixth rotating hole 413 of the first connecting arm 41 and the fourth rotating shaft 4221 of the second connecting arm 42 and the third rotating shaft 4121 of the first connecting arm 41 can be coaxially arranged.

[0223] The second rotating arm 44 and the first rotating arm 43 can be approximately symmetrical. For example, the seventh rotating shaft 4411 of the second rotating arm 44 (see...) Figure 16 The fifth rotating shaft 4311 of the first rotating arm 43 is coaxial with the eighth rotating shaft 4421 of the second rotating arm 44 (see...). Figure 16 It is coaxial with the sixth rotating shaft 4321 of the first rotating arm 43.

[0224] In this embodiment, by setting a second connecting arm 42, the second connecting arm 42 and the first connecting arm 41 are respectively connected to the lifting member 3. The lifting member 3 is subjected to force on both sides, which helps to make the force on the lifting member 3 more balanced, thereby making the lifting of the lifting member 3 more stable.

[0225] Please refer to the following: Figure 18 , Figure 18 yes Figure 17A The diagram shows the lifting assembly 10 in a raised state in some embodiments.

[0226] In some embodiments, a portion of the structure of the exterior component 2 is located in and exposed within the first receiving hole 121, and the light-transmitting portion 361 is exposed through the first receiving hole 121. Exemplarily, a gap may be left between the exterior component 2 and the hole wall of the first receiving hole 121 to avoid collision when the exterior component 2 and the base 1 move relative to each other.

[0227] For example, the base 1 may surround the entire outer appearance component 2. For instance, the wall of the first receiving hole 121 surrounds the periphery of the outer appearance component 2, and the wall of the first receiving hole 121 is disposed opposite to the periphery of the outer appearance component 2. This makes it easier to control the gap between the base 1 and other components (outer appearance component 2) on the top side surface of the lifting assembly 10, thereby improving the flatness and aesthetics of the top side of the lifting assembly 10.

[0228] For example, the base 11 is located inside the enclosure 12 and is fixedly connected to the enclosure 12. At this time, the enclosure 12 can surround the outer part 2, and the base 11 is located inside the enclosure 12. Therefore, the shape and position of the base 11 can be reasonably set according to the space of the lifting assembly 10, which is conducive to the rational use of space.

[0229] In this embodiment, the exterior component 2 can be exposed from the first receiving hole 121 so that the exterior component 2 can be flipped relative to the base 1, and the lifting component 3 can be exposed from the first receiving hole 121 so that the lifting component 3 can be raised and lowered relative to the base 1, thereby increasing the space inside the exterior component 2 and the lifting component 3.

[0230] In some embodiments, the first appearance portion 23 and the second appearance portion 24 of the appearance member 2 are arranged and fixedly connected along a first direction, which is perpendicular to the first axis 1a.

[0231] For example, the first axis 1a is parallel to the Y direction, and the first direction can be parallel to the X direction.

[0232] In this embodiment, the outer appearance component 2 is generally rectangular in shape. As mentioned above, since the second receiving hole 211 is opened in the second outer appearance part 24, the end of the first outer appearance part 23 away from the second outer appearance part 24 is the first end 21 of the outer appearance component 2, and the end of the second outer appearance part 24 away from the first outer appearance part 23 is the second end 22 of the outer appearance component 2. Therefore, in the lifting assembly 10, the lifting component 3 can be displaced by lifting and lowering, while the outer appearance component 2 can be flipped, and the displacement of different parts can be different. The displacement of the first outer appearance part 23 is smaller than the displacement of the second outer appearance part 24, so that the area where the lifting component 3 is located in the lifting assembly 10 achieves a larger displacement, and the area where the first outer appearance part 23 is located achieves a smaller displacement. This is beneficial to reduce the area and height of the lifting component 3, and thus reduce the volume of the lifting component 3.

[0233] In some embodiments, as described above, since the lifting member 3 is a rectangular cylindrical structure, the light-transmitting part 361 is rectangular, the second receiving hole 211 is a rectangular hole, the first external appearance part 23 is a rectangular or trapezoidal cover structure, and the second external appearance part 24 is a rectangular cylindrical structure. In this embodiment, the shape of the light-transmitting part 361 is adapted to the shape of the lifting member 3, which is beneficial to provide a light-transmitting part 361 with a larger area in the lifting member 3; the shapes of the lifting member 3 and the second receiving hole 211 are adapted and both are rectangular, and both the lifting member 3 and the second receiving hole 211 have straight plate-shaped sidewalls. When the lifting member 3 and the hole wall of the second receiving hole 211 rotate relative to each other, the straight plate-shaped sidewalls of the two can be translated relative to each other, which is beneficial to avoid collision between the lifting member 3 and the hole wall of the second receiving hole 211.

[0234] In some other embodiments, the portions of the outer appearance component 2 exposed relative to the base 1 and the portions of the lifting component 3 exposed relative to the base 1 are arranged along a first direction, which is perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the lifting component 3 relative to the base 1; the light-transmitting portion 361 is rectangular, the lifting component 3 is a rectangular cover structure, and the outer appearance component 2 is a rectangular cover structure. The portion of the outer appearance component 2 exposed relative to the base 1 can be the top 25 of the outer appearance component 2, and the portion of the lifting component 3 exposed relative to the base 1 can be the top 36 of the lifting component 3. In this case, it is equivalent to... Figure 18The periphery of the top 36 of the lifting member 3 does not have a second external appearance portion 24. The periphery of the top 36 of the lifting member 3 is disposed opposite to the wall of the second receiving hole 211, while only the first external appearance portion 23 of the external appearance member 2 is exposed in the second receiving hole 211. The top 25 of the external appearance member 2 and the top 36 of the lifting member 3 are disposed side by side. The smaller size of the external appearance member 2 is beneficial to the narrow design of the lifting assembly 10. It is understood that the external appearance member 2 may not have a second external appearance portion 24, or the second external appearance portion 24 may not be exposed in the second receiving hole 211.

[0235] In this embodiment, the exterior component 2 can have a smaller volume, and the lifting component 3 can have a wider width in the first direction.

[0236] Please refer to the following: Figure 18 and Figure 19 , Figure 19 yes Figure 17B The diagram shows the structure of the lifting assembly 10 in a retracted state in some embodiments.

[0237] like Figure 18 The lifting assembly 10 can be in a raised state. Specifically, the outer surface component 2 is flipped up relative to the base 1, with the third exposed surface 231 and the first surface 124 forming a first angle. Relative to the base 1, the second end 22 of the outer surface component 2 is flipped up to a higher height than the first end 21. The lifting assembly 3 is flipped up relative to the outer surface component 2, with the first exposed surface 362 and the second exposed surface 241 forming a second angle. The first end 31 of the lifting assembly 3 is flipped up to a higher height relative to the outer surface component 2 than the second end 32. The lifting assembly 3 is raised relative to the base 1, with the first exposed surface 362 and the first surface 124 having a first distance.

[0238] like Figure 19 The lifting assembly 10 can be in a retracted state. Specifically, the outer surface 2 is not flipped up relative to the base 1, and the third exposed surface 231 and the first surface 124 have a third included angle, which is smaller than the first included angle; the lifting assembly 3 is flipped up relative to the outer surface 2, and the first exposed surface 362 and the second exposed surface 241 have a fourth included angle, which is smaller than the second included angle; the lifting assembly 3 is raised relative to the base 1, and the first exposed surface 362 and the first surface 124 have a second distance, which is smaller than the first distance.

[0239] During the transition of the lifting assembly 10 from the retracted state to the raised state, the first end 21 of the outer part 2 rotates relative to the base 1, and the second end 22 of the outer part 2 lifts relative to the base 1; the second end 32 of the lifting component 3 follows the second end 22 of the outer part 2 and lifts relative to the base 1, and rotates relative to the second end 22 of the outer part 2, while the first end 31 of the lifting component 3 lifts relative to the outer part 2, and the lifting component 3 rises relative to the base 1. It can be understood that during the transition of the lifting assembly 10 from the raised state to the retracted state, the movement of each component of the lifting assembly 10 is roughly the opposite of the transition from the retracted state to the raised state.

[0240] In this embodiment, the lifting assembly 10 has a larger internal space when it is raised, and the space occupied by the lifting member 3 when it is raised is greater than the space occupied by the first appearance part 23 of the appearance member 2 when it is flipped up. The lifting assembly 10 has a smaller height when it is retracted, which is beneficial to the thin design of the lifting assembly 10. The lifting assembly 10 can switch between the raised state and the retracted state and remain in the raised state and the retracted state.

[0241] In some embodiments, the top 25 of the outer appearance component 2 is exposed relative to the base 1, and the top 36 of the lifting component 3 is exposed relative to the outer appearance component 2. Specifically, when the lifting assembly 10 is in the raised state, a portion of the structure of the side portion 26 of the outer appearance component 2 is exposed relative to the base 1; a portion of the structure of the side portion 37 of the lifting component 3 is exposed relative to the outer appearance component 2. Specifically, when the lifting assembly 10 is in the retracted state, the side portion 26 of the outer appearance component 2 is located inside the base 1, and the side portion 37 of the lifting component 3 is located inside the outer appearance component 2.

[0242] In this embodiment, in the retracted state, the top 25 of the outer appearance component 2 can cover the opening of the base 1 (such as the first receiving hole 121), and the top 36 of the lifting component 3 can cover the opening of the outer appearance component 2 (such as the second receiving hole 211). In the raised state, the top 25 and side 26 of the outer appearance component 2 can cover the opening of the base 1, and the top 36 and side 37 of the lifting component 3 can cover the opening of the outer appearance component 2. Therefore, the outer appearance component 2 and the lifting component 3 can cover the inner side of the lifting component 3 to protect the inner space. Furthermore, since the outer appearance component 2 can be flipped, it has a covering function. Compared with the prior art, where only the lifting component 3 rises and falls to provide a covering function, the height of the side 37 of the lifting component 3 in this embodiment can be less than its raised height, making it easier for the lifting component 3 to have a lower height and a smaller area, which is beneficial for the thin design of the lifting assembly 10.

[0243] In some embodiments, the first exposed surface 362 in the raised state is parallel to the first exposed surface 362 in the retracted state. At this time, after the lifting member 3 is raised, neither its first exposed surface 362 nor its light-transmitting portion 361 deflects. Therefore, the light-transmitting portion 361 does not affect the light entering the inside of the lifting member 3, and the structure of the lifting assembly 10 is more reasonable, thereby facilitating the application of the lifting assembly 10 to electronic devices and ensuring the shooting quality of the electronic device. It is understood that the first exposed surface 362 of the lifting assembly 10 can have a small displacement in a first direction (e.g., the X direction) compared to the retracted state. Specifically, in the lifting assembly 10, because the outer appearance member 2 is relatively long, after switching from the retracted state to the raised state, the rotation angle of the outer appearance member 2 is small, and the movement distance of the first exposed surface 362 in the X direction is also small.

[0244] In some embodiments, when the lifting assembly 10 is in the retracted state, the light-transmitting portion 361 may be located at the first receiving hole 121. The first exposed surface 362 may be flush with the second exposed surface 241. The fact that the lifting member 3 is partially flush with the appearance member 2 is beneficial for the appearance member 2 to provide protection for the lifting member 3 and reduce the height of the lifting assembly 10. It also makes the exposed surface of the lifting assembly 10 more regular and improves the reliability of the lifting assembly 10.

[0245] In some embodiments, when the lifting assembly 10 is in the retracted state, the third exposed surface 231 is lower than the first surface 124. At this time, there is a height difference between the third exposed surface 231 and the first surface 124, and the appearance component 2 is at least partially higher than the base 1. When the lifting assembly 10 is applied to an electronic device, it is advantageous to expose the third exposed surface 231 on the surface of the electronic device, while the first surface 124 is located inside the electronic device, thereby facilitating the thin design of the electronic device.

[0246] Please refer to the following: Figure 20 and Figure 21 , Figure 20 yes Figure 18 The lifting assembly 10 shown is a simplified schematic diagram of the mechanism in some embodiments. Figure 21 yes Figure 19 The lifting assembly 10 shown is a schematic diagram of the mechanism in some embodiments.

[0247] In some embodiments, when the lifting assembly 10 includes a first rotating arm 43, as described above, the base 1, the outer appearance component 2, the first connecting arm 41, and the first rotating arm 43 form a four-bar linkage, and two of the four components connected to each other can rotate relative to each other. The lifting component 3 and the first connecting arm 41 form a slider mechanism, and the lifting component 3 can rotate relative to the outer appearance component 2, and the lifting component 3 can rotate and move relative to the first connecting arm 41.

[0248] During the process of the lifting assembly 10 switching from the retracted state to the raised state, the first connecting arm 41 rotates clockwise relative to the base 1, the outer part 2 rotates clockwise relative to the base 1, and the outer part 2 flips up relative to the base 1; the first rotating arm 43 rotates counterclockwise relative to the base 1, the lifting component 3 rotates counterclockwise relative to the outer part 2, the lifting component 3 rotates counterclockwise relative to the first connecting arm 41, and the lifting component 3 moves approximately in a translational motion relative to the base 1 and rises.

[0249] It is understandable that during the process of the lifting assembly 10 switching from the raised state to the retracted state, the process of each component of the lifting assembly 10 switching from the retracted state to the raised state is roughly the opposite.

[0250] Please see Figure 22 , Figure 22 yes Figure 8 The diagram shows an exploded view of the power component 5 in some embodiments.

[0251] In some embodiments, the power assembly 5 may include a drive motor 51, a first crank 52, a first connector 53, a second connector 54, and a drive unit 55.

[0252] For example, the drive motor 51 may have an output shaft 511, which can output rotational torque. For example, the drive motor 51 may be a micro motor, a voice coil motor, etc., and this embodiment does not specifically limit it.

[0253] For example, the first crank 52 may have a first end 521 and a second end 522, with the first end 521 fixedly connected to the second end 522. The first crank 52 may have a first connecting hole 5211 and a second connecting hole 5221. The first connecting hole 5211 may be located at the first end 521 of the first crank 52, and the second connecting hole 5221 may be located at the second end 522 of the first crank 52. The first connecting hole 5211 and the second connecting hole 5221 may each pass through the first crank 52. The bore axis of the first connecting hole 5211 and the bore axis of the second connecting hole 5221 may be parallel. The first crank 52 may also have a first connecting groove 5222, which is at least partially located at the second end 522 of the first crank 52.

[0254] For example, the first connector 53 may have a first end 531 and a second end 532, with the first end 531 fixedly connected to the second end 532. The first connector 53 may have a third connecting hole 5311 and a fourth connecting hole 5321. The third connecting hole 5311 may be located at the first end 531 of the first connector 53, and the fourth connecting hole 5321 may be located at the second end 532 of the first connector 53. Both the third connecting hole 5311 and the fourth connecting hole 5321 can pass through the first connector 53. The bore axis of the third connecting hole 5311 and the bore axis of the fourth connecting hole 5321 can be parallel.

[0255] For example, the second connector 54 may have a first end 541 and a second end 542. The second connector 54 may have a first connecting shaft 5411 and a second connecting shaft 5421. The axis of the first connecting shaft 5411 and the axis of the second connecting shaft 5421 may have an included angle, for example, the included angle may be 90°.

[0256] For example, the driving member 55 may have a first end 551 and a second end 552, with the first end 551 fixedly connected to the second end 552. The driving member 55 may have a fifth connecting hole 5511 and a sixth connecting hole 5521. The fifth connecting hole 5511 is located at the first end 551 of the driving member 55, and the sixth connecting hole 5521 is located at the second end 552 of the driving member 55. Both the fifth connecting hole 5511 and the sixth connecting hole 5521 may be cylindrical holes. The bore axes of the fifth connecting hole 5511 and the sixth connecting hole 5521 may be parallel. In some examples, the driving member 55 may also have an abutment groove 553, which may begin at the first end 551 of the driving member 55. In some examples, the driving member 55 may also include an abutment portion 554, which may be fixed to the second end 552 of the driving member 55 and may protrude relative to the second end 552 of the driving member 55. It is understood that in some other embodiments, the drive member 55 may not be provided with the abutment groove 553 and the abutment portion 554.

[0257] In some embodiments, the power assembly 5 may further include an elastic element 56. The elastic element 56 has the ability to elastically deform. For example, the elastic element 56 may be a spring.

[0258] Please see Figure 23 , Figure 23 yes Figure 22 The power assembly 5 shown is a cross-sectional view in some embodiments.

[0259] In some embodiments, in the power assembly 5, the first end 521 of the first crank 52 is fixedly connected to the output shaft 511 of the drive motor 51, the second end 522 of the first crank 52 is rotatably connected to the first end 531 of the first connector 53, the second end 532 of the first connector 53 is rotatably connected to the first end 541 of the second connector 54, and the second end 542 of the second connector 54 is rotatably connected to the first end 551 of the drive member 55.

[0260] For example, the output shaft 511 of the drive motor 51 can be located in the first connecting hole 5211 and fixedly connected to the wall of the first connecting hole 5211. The second connecting hole 5221 and the third connecting hole 5311 can be coaxially arranged and rotatably connected by a rotating shaft. The first connecting shaft 5411 can be located in the fourth connecting hole 5321 and rotatably connected to the wall of the fourth connecting hole 5321. The second connecting shaft 5421 can be located in the fifth connecting hole 5511 and rotatably connected to the wall of the fifth connecting hole 5511.

[0261] For example, the elastic element 56 may be partially located in the abutment groove 553.

[0262] Please see Figure 24 , Figure 24 yes Figure 6 The diagram shows the structure of the lifting assembly 10 in some embodiments. The enclosure 12 is shown in dashed lines to illustrate the structure of the power assembly 5.

[0263] In some embodiments, the power assembly 5 can be fixedly mounted on the base 1, and the power assembly 5 can be used to drive the first connecting arm 41, the lifting member 3, or the exterior member 2, so that the lifting member 3 moves up and down relative to the base 1. The elastic member 56 can abut against the driving member 55 and the first connecting arm 41.

[0264] For example, the drive motor 51 can be fixedly connected to the base 1, and the drive component 55 can be rotatably connected to the base 1. The first rotating shaft 115 of the base 1 can connect to the sixth connecting hole 5521 of the drive component 55 (see...). Figure 20 The first connecting arm 41 is rotated relative to the base 1, and the shaft of the drive member 55 is coaxial with the shaft of the drive member 55 relative to the base 1, so that the drive member 55 can directly drive the first connecting arm 41 to rotate.

[0265] For example, the elastic member 56 is located in the fixing groove 414 of the first connecting arm 41 and is sleeved on the outside of the first connecting arm 41. The elastic member 56 can be compressed to abut against the drive member 55 and the first connecting arm 41.

[0266] For example, see reference Figure 23 and Figure 24The axis of rotation of the driving component 55 relative to the base 1 is the first rotation axis 1b, the axis of rotation of the driving component 55 relative to the second connecting component 54 is the second rotation axis 2b, the axis of rotation of the second connecting component 54 relative to the first connecting component 53 is the third rotation axis 3b, and the axis of rotation of the output shaft 511 of the drive motor 51 is the fourth rotation axis 4b. The first rotation axis 1b is parallel to the second rotation axis 2b, the third rotation axis 3b is parallel to the fourth rotation axis 4b, and the first rotation axis 1b is perpendicular to the fourth rotation axis 4b. At this time, the length directions of the output shaft 511 of the drive motor 51 and the first connecting arm 41 are approximately the same, which makes it easy to reasonably set the position of the power component 5 in the lifting component 10, which is conducive to the rational use of space and also conducive to the miniaturization of the lifting component 10.

[0267] When the lifting assembly 10 needs to deform, the drive motor 51 drives the first crank 52 to rotate, which in turn moves the first connecting member 53, causing the second connecting member 54 and the drive member 55 to rotate relative to the base 1. The drive member 55 then drives the first connecting arm 41 to rotate. Specifically, when the lifting assembly 10 switches from a retracted state to a raised state, the drive member 55 transmits driving force through a spring, causing the first connecting arm 41 to rotate clockwise; when the lifting assembly 10 switches from a raised state to a retracted state, the abutment portion 554 of the drive member 55 drives the first connecting arm 41 to rotate counterclockwise. When the lifting assembly 10 is in the raised state, if the lifting member 3 or the exterior member 2 is subjected to external force, the first connecting arm 41 can compress the spring to prevent further transmission of the external force in the power assembly 5, thereby achieving shock absorption and protecting the lifting assembly 10.

[0268] When the second connector 54 and the drive member 55 rotate relative to the base 1, the first connector 53 and the drive member 55 also rotate relative to each other to avoid jamming.

[0269] Please see Figure 25 , Figure 25 yes Figure 4 The diagram shows the internal structure of the electronic device 1000 in some embodiments.

[0270] In some embodiments, in the electronic device, the base 1 of the lifting assembly 10 can be attached to the inside of the housing 300 and fixedly connected to the housing 300. The outer appearance component 2 and the lifting component 3 are exposed relative to the housing 300. The housing 300 may have a second surface 3005. When the lifting assembly 10 is in the retracted state, the third exposed surface 231 of the outer appearance component 2 can be flush with the second surface 3005 of the housing 300, so that the outer surface of the electronic device 1000 is flatter and the user experience is better.

[0271] For example, the enclosure 12 of the base 1 can be adhered to the inside of the housing 300. The first surface 124 of the enclosure 12 can be attached to the inside of the housing 300. In some other embodiments, the base 1 may not have the enclosure 12. This embodiment is not specifically limited.

[0272] In this embodiment, compared to the prior art where the lifting component 3 covers the entire camera module, the lifting component 3 in this embodiment does not need to cover the entire camera module 20, which is beneficial to the miniaturization design of the lifting component 10.

[0273] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the structure of the camera module 20 faces the light-transmitting portion 361 of the lifting member 3. The camera module 20 is a periscope camera.

[0274] The camera module 20 may include a light-intake section 2011. For example, the light-intake section 2011 may be a lens element of the lens 201. The light-intake section 2011 is used for light intake of the camera module 20. The photosensitive element 202 of the camera module 20 may be arranged with the light-intake section 2011 in a direction perpendicular to the central axis of the light-intake section 2011. For example, the photosensitive element 202 may be arranged parallel to the central axis of the light-intake section 2011, or at an angle to the central axis of the light-intake section 2011.

[0275] For example, the camera module 20 may be generally rectangular in shape, with the light-inlet portion 2011 located at one end of the camera module 20 and the photosensitive element 202 located at the other end of the camera module 20.

[0276] In this configuration, the lifting member 3 covers the light-inlet section 2011 along its central axis. That is, the camera module 20 and the lifting member 3 are arranged along the central axis of the light-inlet section 2011 to avoid the lifting member 3 blocking the light-inlet section 2011, thereby ensuring that light passes through the lifting member 3, passes through the light-inlet section 2011, and enters the camera module 20.

[0277] In the direction of the central axis of the light-inlet section 2011, the outer part 2 can cover the photosensitive element 202, but is not limited to this. At this time, the projected area of ​​the lifting part 3 on the vertical plane of the central axis of the light-inlet section 2011 can be much smaller than the projected area of ​​the camera module 20 on the vertical plane of the central axis of the light-inlet section 2011.

[0278] For example, the central axis of the light-receiving part 2011 is parallel to the Z direction, and the projected area of ​​the lifting member 3 in the XY plane can be smaller than the projected area of ​​the camera module 20 in the XY plane. For instance, the projected area of ​​the lifting member 3 in the XY plane can be less than 50% of the projected area of ​​the camera module 20 in the XY plane.

[0279] In this embodiment, the lifting member 3 lifts and the outer appearance member 2 flips to provide optical space for the camera module 20 to take pictures, and to shield the structure of the camera module 20 to protect the camera module 20. In addition, the camera device 100 is easy to achieve a thin design.

[0280] Furthermore, since the camera module 20 is a periscope camera, the camera module 20 is relatively long and the area of ​​the light-receiving part is small. The lifting component 10 is also relatively long, and the area of ​​the lifting component 3 can be set to be relatively small. This makes it highly adaptable to periscope cameras. When the camera device 100 is applied to the electronic device 1000, the area of ​​the lifting component 3 that protrudes from the electronic device when it is raised is relatively small, which helps to improve the reliability of the lifting and also enhances the user experience.

[0281] Because the camera device 100 is easy to design in a thin form, the electronic device 1000 is also easy to design in a thin form, resulting in a better user experience.

[0282] In some other embodiments, the camera module 20 can be a cylindrical camera, that is, the lens 201 and the photosensitive element 202 are arranged along the central axis of the light-inlet portion 2011. This embodiment does not limit this.

[0283] Please see Figure 26 , Figure 26 yes Figure 4 The lifting assembly 10 shown is a schematic diagram of the mechanism in some other embodiments.

[0284] In some embodiments, the lifting assembly 10 does not have a first rotating arm. In this case, the lifting member 3 is rotatably connected to the first connecting arm 41.

[0285] For example, the first end of the lifting member 3 is rotatably connected to the second end of the first connecting arm 41.

[0286] In this embodiment, the base 1, the first connecting arm 41, the exterior component 2, and the lifting component 3 constitute a four-bar linkage. By driving any one of the three components—the first connecting arm 41, the exterior component 2, and the lifting component 3—the lifting component 3 can be raised or lowered relative to the base 1, and the exterior component 2 can be flipped relative to the base 1. The lifting assembly 10 has a simpler structure, more flexible component arrangement, and a wider range of applications.

[0287] Among them, with Figure 12 Unlike the lifting member 3 in the previous embodiment, the third and fourth rotating holes of the lifting member 3 in this embodiment can be cylindrical holes. It is understood that in this embodiment, the lifting member 3 only rotates relative to the first connecting arm 41.

[0288] It is understandable that the structure of the base 1, the first connecting arm 41, and the outer part 2 in this embodiment is similar to... Figure 19In this embodiment, the base 1, the first connecting arm 41, and the exterior component 2 have the same structure, and will not be described again in this embodiment.

[0289] In this embodiment, the first end of the appearance component is rotatably connected to the base, the second end of the lifting component is rotatably connected to the second end of the appearance component, the first end of the lifting component is close to the first end of the appearance component relative to the second end of the lifting component, the lifting component has a light-transmitting part, the light-transmitting part is exposed relative to the appearance component; the first end of the first connecting arm is rotatably connected to the base, the second end of the first connecting arm is movably connected to the first end of the lifting component, and a power component is used to drive the first connecting arm or the lifting component or the appearance component so that the lifting component moves up and down relative to the base.

[0290] It is understood that the lifting component and the exterior component can be exposed relative to the base; when the lifting assembly is applied in an electronic device, the lifting component and the exterior component are also exposed to the electronic device. Here, "movable connection" can refer to a connection between two connected components that allows for relative movement, such as relative rotation and / or relative movement. For example, a movable connection can include a rotational connection and / or a sliding connection.

[0291] In this embodiment, the base, the outer appearance component, the lifting component, and the first connecting arm constitute a deformable mechanism. Among the base, the outer appearance component, the lifting component, and the first connecting arm, the two connected to each other can move relative to each other. When any one of the outer appearance component, the lifting component, and the first connecting arm is driven, the other two can be driven and move, so that the lifting assembly can perform deformable movements.

[0292] Furthermore, since the exterior component is rotatably connected to the base, the exterior component can be driven to rotate relative to the base; since both the exterior component and the first connecting arm can move relative to the base, and the lifting component is supported by the exterior component and the first connecting arm, the lifting component moves up and down relative to the base during the rotation of the exterior component and the first connecting arm relative to the base.

[0293] Furthermore, since the outer components can rotate relative to the base and the lifting components can rise and fall relative to the base, the internal space can be increased to a great extent during the deformation movement of the lifting assembly, and it can have a small volume when not in operation, making it easy to apply to smaller and thinner electronic devices.

[0294] Please see Figure 27 and Figure 28 , Figure 27 yes Figure 4 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of another type of lifting component 10 in some embodiments in a raised state. Figure 28 yes Figure 27 The diagram shows the structure of the lifting assembly 10 in the retracted state.

[0295] In some embodiments, the lifting assembly 10 may include a base 1, a lifting element 3, an exterior element 2, and a linkage assembly 4.

[0296] The general structure of the base 1, lifting component 3, exterior component 2, and connecting rod assembly 4 is similar to... Figure 6 The corresponding structure of the lifting component 10 in the embodiment is the same; for details, please refer to [reference needed]. Figures 6 to 8 The relevant descriptions of the embodiments will not be repeated in this embodiment.

[0297] In some embodiments, the lifting assembly 10 may further include a power assembly 5.

[0298] For example, the power assembly 5 can output torque, serve as a power source for the lifting assembly 10, and can also be used to output power to the linkage assembly 4. For instance, the power assembly 5 can output power by being energized. The power assembly 5 can be mounted on the base 1. The power assembly 5 can be housed inside the base 1, which mounts, secures, and protects the power assembly 5.

[0299] In some other embodiments, the lifting assembly 10 may not include the power assembly 5. In this case, the movement of the lifting assembly 10 can be powered manually or by an external power source.

[0300] Please refer to the following: Figure 29 and Figure 30 , Figure 29 yes Figure 27 The diagram shown is an exploded view of the lifting assembly 10 in some embodiments. Figure 30 yes Figure 29 The lifting assembly 10 shown is a structural schematic diagram from another perspective.

[0301] In some embodiments, the base 1 may include a base 11 and a enclosure 12.

[0302] The base 11 may have a first rotating groove 28. The first rotating groove 28 may be an arc-shaped groove, which may be a groove extending along an arc. For example, the first rotating groove 28 may include two grooves, and the openings of the two grooves may be arranged opposite each other.

[0303] The base 11 may have a first mating hole 117 and a second mating hole 118. The first mating hole 117 and the second mating hole 118 may each be through holes. The first mating hole 117 and the second mating hole 118 may each be cylindrical holes.

[0304] The base 11 can be generally sleeve-shaped, with a receiving space formed in the middle area of ​​the base 11. The base 11 can have a mounting groove 119, which can be formed on one side wall of the base 11 and can communicate with the receiving space of the base 11.

[0305] The enclosure 12 may be ring-shaped. For example, the shape of the enclosure 12 may be approximately the same as the shape of the base 11. For example, the enclosure 12 may have a first receiving hole 121 that extends through the enclosure 12. The shape of the first receiving hole 121 may be approximately the same as the shape of the enclosure 12.

[0306] For example, the enclosure 12 may have a first surface 124. The first surface 124 may be the top surface of the enclosure 12, and the first surface 124 may be a plane.

[0307] In this embodiment, the base 1 is a split structural component to reasonably arrange the shapes of the base 11 and the enclosure 12, and to facilitate the assembly of the lifting assembly 10. In some other embodiments, the base 1 may also be a one-piece structural component.

[0308] In some embodiments, the structure of the exterior component 2 is similar to... Figure 10 and Figure 11 The main difference in the appearance component 2 of this embodiment lies in the arrangement of the first end 21 of the appearance component 2. In this embodiment, a first rotating part 114 is disposed on the appearance component 2, and the first rotating part 114 can be formed on the first end 21 of the appearance component 2. The first rotating part 114 can be an arc-shaped block. The arc-shaped block can be a block-shaped structure extending along an arc. For example, the second rotating part 27 can include two arc-shaped blocks.

[0309] The exterior component 2 may have a top 25 and a side 26, with the side 26 being circumferentially fixed to the periphery of the top 25. The exterior component 2 may include a first exterior portion 23 and a second exterior portion 24, with the first exterior portion 23 connected to the second exterior portion 24. The exterior component 2 may have a second exposed surface 241 and a third exposed surface 231. The exterior component 2 may also be provided with a second rotating portion 27. The exterior component 2 may also have a first rotating hole 29 and a second rotating hole 210. The exterior component 2 may have a second receiving hole 211. For the specific structure of the exterior component 2, please refer to... Figure 10 and Figure 11 Related descriptions.

[0310] In some embodiments, the structure of the lifting component 3 is similar to... Figure 12 and Figure 13 The main difference of the lifting member 3 in the embodiment lies in the shape of the third rotating hole 34 and the fourth rotating hole 35. In this embodiment, the third rotating hole 34 and the fourth rotating hole 35 can be cylindrical holes.

[0311] The lifting member 3 may have a first end 31 and a second end 32. For example, the lifting member 3 may include a top 36 and a side portion 37, with the side portion 37 circumferentially fixed to the periphery of the top 36. For example, the lifting member 3 may have a second rotating groove 33. The top 36 of the lifting member 3 may have a light-transmitting portion 361. For the specific structure of the lifting member 3, please refer to... Figure 12 and Figure 13 Description of the embodiments.

[0312] In some embodiments, the linkage assembly 4 may include a first connecting arm 41 and a second connecting arm 42.

[0313] The first connecting arm 41 may have a fifth rotating hole 4111. The fifth rotating hole 4111 may be located at the first end 411 of the first connecting arm 41. The fifth rotating hole 4111 may be a through hole or a cylindrical hole.

[0314] Among them, the first connecting arm 41 and Figure 13 The main difference in the first connecting arm 41 of this embodiment lies in the arrangement of the second end 412 of the first connecting arm 41. In this embodiment, the first connecting arm 41 has a third mating hole 4122, which is located at the second end 412 of the first connecting arm 41. The third mating hole 4122 can be a cylindrical hole.

[0315] The structure of the second connecting arm 42 can be substantially the same as that of the first connecting arm 41. The second connecting arm 42 may include a seventh rotating hole 4211 and a fourth mating hole 4222, and the specific structure can be referred to the structure of the first connecting arm 41, which will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0316] Please refer to the following: Figures 31A to 32B , Figure 31A It is along Figure 27 A schematic diagram of the structure cut at the EE section. Figure 31B It is along Figure 28 A schematic diagram of the section cut at point FF. Figure 32A It is along Figure 27 A schematic diagram of the structure cut at the middle GG point. Figure 32B It is along Figure 28 A schematic diagram of the section cut at point HH.

[0317] In some embodiments, the first end 21 of the exterior component 2 is rotatably connected to the base 1, and the second end 32 of the lifting component 3 is rotatably connected to the second end 22 of the exterior component 2.

[0318] For example, please refer to the following: Figure 31A and Figure 31BThe first rotating part 114 of the exterior component 2 is located within the first rotating groove 28 of the base 1, and the first rotating part 114 is rotatably connected to the groove wall of the first rotating groove 28, so that the first end 21 of the exterior component 2 is rotatably connected to the base 11 of the base 1. The axis of rotation of the exterior component 2 relative to the base 1 is the first axis 1a, which can be located in the external space of the base 1. For example, the first axis 1a can be located in the top space of either the base 1 or the exterior component 2.

[0319] At this point, through the cooperation of the arc-shaped groove and the arc-shaped block, the base 1 and the outer part 2 form a virtual axis rotational connection. The axis of the virtual axis may not be located on the structural body of the base 1 or the outer part 2, but in the external space of the base 1 or the outer part 2. This means that the structure of the base 1 or the outer part 2 does not need to cover the space where the axis of the virtual axis (first axis 1a) is located, which helps to reduce the volume of the base 1 or the outer part 2 and facilitates the thin design of the lifting assembly 10. In some other embodiments, the base 1 and the outer part 2 may also be rotatably connected by a physical axis, which is not limited in this application.

[0320] For example, please refer to the following: Figure 32A and Figure 32B The second rotating part 27 of the exterior component 2 is located within the second rotating groove 33 of the lifting component 3, and the second rotating part 27 is rotatably connected to the groove wall of the second rotating groove 33, so that the second end 32 of the lifting component 3 is rotatably connected to the second end 22 of the exterior component 2. The axis of rotation of the lifting component 3 relative to the exterior component 2 is the second axis 2a, which can be located in the external space of the lifting component 3. For example, the second axis 2a can be located in the top space of either the lifting component 3 or the exterior component 2. In this example, the second rotating part 27 is disposed on the exterior component 2, and the second rotating groove 33 is disposed on the lifting component 3. In other examples, the second rotating part 27 can be disposed on the lifting component 3, and the second rotating groove 33 can be disposed on the exterior component 2.

[0321] In this embodiment, the lifting component 3 and the exterior component 2 are connected by a virtual axis through the cooperation of the arc-shaped groove and the arc-shaped block. The axis of the virtual axis may not be located on the structural body of the lifting component 3 or the exterior component 2, but in the external space of the lifting component 3 or the exterior component 2. This means that the structure of the lifting component 3 or the exterior component 2 does not need to cover the space where the axis of the virtual axis (second axis 2a) is located, which helps to reduce the volume of the lifting component 3 or the exterior component 2 and facilitates the thin design of the lifting assembly 10. In some other embodiments, the lifting component 3 and the exterior component 2 may also be connected by a physical axis, which is not limited in this application.

[0322] In some embodiments, the lifting member 3 and the exterior member 2 are at least partially located in the first receiving hole 121 of the base 1, and the lifting member 3 and the exterior member 2 are exposed relative to the base 1.

[0323] For example, since the first receiving hole 121 is formed in the enclosure 12 of the base 1, the enclosure 12 surrounds the outer appearance member 2, and the enclosure 12 may also surround the lifting member 3. There may be a gap between the outer appearance member 2 and the side wall of the first receiving hole 121 to provide space when the lifting member 3 and the enclosure 12 of the base 1 move relative to each other, so as to avoid collision between the lifting member 3 and the enclosure 12 of the base 1.

[0324] In some embodiments, the lifting member 3 may be partially located in the second receiving hole 211 of the exterior member 2, wherein the light-transmitting part 361 is located in the second receiving hole 211.

[0325] For example, the second exterior portion 24 of the exterior component 2 surrounds the lifting component 3. A gap may be left between the exterior component 2 and the wall of the second receiving hole 211. In this case, since the lifting component 3 and the exterior component 2 are rotatably connected, when the two rotate relative to each other, the displacement of different parts of the lifting component 3 relative to the exterior component 2 is different. By leaving a gap, collision between the lifting component 3 and the exterior component 2 during movement is avoided. The exterior component 2 surrounding the lifting component 3 helps to make the structure of the lifting assembly 10 more regular. When the lifting assembly 10 is applied to electronic devices, there is no need to consider the gap setting between the lifting component 3 and the housing of the electronic device, which helps to improve the waterproof and dustproof capabilities of the electronic device.

[0326] It is understandable that when the lifting member 3 moves relative to the outer appearance member 2, the lifting member 3 can extend from the top side of the second receiving hole 211 relative to the outer appearance member 2 to increase the space inside the lifting assembly 10.

[0327] In some embodiments, the first end 411 of the first connecting arm 41 is rotatably connected to the base 11 of the base 1, and the second end 412 of the first connecting arm 41 is movably connected to the first end 31 of the lifting member 3.

[0328] For example, the fifth rotating hole 4111 of the first connecting arm 41 can be coaxially arranged with the first docking hole 117 of the base 1 and rotatably connected by a rotating shaft. The third docking hole 4122 of the first connecting arm 41 can be coaxially arranged with the third rotating hole 34 of the lifting member 3 and rotatably connected by a rotating shaft. That is, the second end 412 of the first connecting arm 41 is rotatably connected to the first end 31 of the lifting member 3.

[0329] At this point, by setting the first connecting arm 41, the lifting component 3 and the outer appearance component 2 are jointly supported by the base 1 and the first connecting arm 41, wherein the lifting component 3 is supported by the first supporting arm and the outer appearance component 2. The base 1, the outer appearance component 2, the first connecting arm 41, and the lifting component 3 constitute a four-bar linkage. It can be understood that any two of the four components connected to each other can rotate relative to each other.

[0330] In this embodiment, the base 1, the outer frame 2, the lifting member 3, and the first connecting arm 41 constitute a deformable four-bar linkage. When any one of the outer frame 2, the lifting member 3, and the first connecting arm 41 is driven, the other two can also be driven and moved, enabling the lifting assembly 10 to deform. Furthermore, since the outer frame 2 is rotatably connected to the base 1, it can be driven to rotate relative to the base 1. Because both the outer frame 2 and the first connecting arm 41 can move relative to the base 1, and the lifting member 3 is supported by the outer frame 2 and the first connecting arm 41, the lifting member 3 rises and falls relative to the base 1 during the rotation of the outer frame 2 and the first connecting arm 41 relative to the base 1.

[0331] In some embodiments, the second connecting arm 42 and the first connecting arm 41 are located on opposite sides of the lifting member 3. The first end 421 of the second connecting arm 42 is rotatably connected to the base 1, and the second end 422 of the second connecting arm 42 is movably connected to the first end 31 of the lifting member 3. The first end 441 of the second rotating arm 44 is rotatably connected to the outer appearance member 2, and the second end 442 of the second rotating arm 44 is rotatably connected to the first connecting arm 41.

[0332] The configuration of the second connecting arm 42 can refer to the configuration of the first connecting arm 41, and the configuration of the second rotating arm 44 can refer to the configuration of the first rotating arm 43. This embodiment will not be described in detail.

[0333] The second connecting arm 42 and the first connecting arm 41 can be approximately symmetrical. For example, the seventh rotating hole 4211 of the second connecting arm 42 and the fifth rotating hole 4111 of the first connecting arm 41 can be coaxially arranged; the eighth rotating hole 423 of the second connecting arm 42 and the sixth rotating hole 413 of the first connecting arm 41 can be coaxially arranged; and the fourth rotating shaft 4221 of the second connecting arm 42 and the third rotating shaft 4121 of the first connecting arm 41 can be coaxially arranged.

[0334] The second rotating arm 44 and the first connection can be approximately symmetrical. For example, the seventh rotating shaft 4411 of the second rotating arm 44 and the fifth rotating shaft 4311 of the first rotating arm 43 are coaxial, and the eighth rotating shaft 4421 of the second rotating arm 44 and the sixth rotating shaft 4321 of the first rotating arm 43 are coaxial.

[0335] In this embodiment, by setting a second connecting arm 42, the second connecting arm 42 and the first connecting arm 41 are respectively connected to the lifting member 3. The lifting member 3 is subjected to force on both sides, which helps to make the force on the lifting member 3 more balanced, thereby making the lifting of the lifting member 3 more stable.

[0336] In some embodiments, the lifting assembly 10 can be in both a raised and retracted state. See details in [reference needed]. Figure 18 and Figure 19The relevant descriptions of the embodiments will not be repeated in this embodiment.

[0337] Please see Figure 33 , Figure 33 yes Figure 31A The lifting assembly 10 shown is a simplified schematic diagram of the mechanism in some embodiments. Figure 34 yes Figure 31B The lifting assembly 10 shown is a schematic diagram of the mechanism in some embodiments.

[0338] In some embodiments, the base 1, the outer appearance component 2, the lifting component 3, and the first connecting arm 41 constitute a parallelogram linkage mechanism.

[0339] Among them, the axis of rotation of the appearance component 2 relative to the base 1 is the first axis 1a, the axis of rotation of the appearance component 2 relative to the lifting component 3 is the second axis 2a, the axis of rotation of the first connecting arm 41 relative to the base 1 is the third axis 3a, and the axis of rotation of the first connecting arm 41 relative to the lifting component 3 is the fourth axis 4a. It can be understood that the first rotating shaft 115, the second rotating shaft 116, the third rotating shaft 4121, and the fourth rotating shaft 4221 are parallel to each other, and the line perpendicularly connecting the first axis 1a and the second axis 2a is parallel to the line perpendicularly connecting the third axis 3a and the fourth axis 4a; the line perpendicularly connecting the first axis 1a and the third axis 3a is parallel to the line perpendicularly connecting the second axis 2a and the fourth axis 4a.

[0340] It is understandable that a parallelogram linkage can have two opposing links that are parallel to each other. The links in a parallelogram linkage do not need to be straight, nor do they need to be in the same plane.

[0341] In this embodiment, when the parallelogram linkage mechanism deforms, the lifting member 3 translates and moves relative to the base 1. That is, the lifting member 3 only translates relative to the base 1 and does not rotate relative to the base 1. Therefore, after the lifting member 3 is raised, its first outer surface and the light-transmitting part 361 do not deflect. Thus, the light-transmitting part 361 will not affect the light entering the inside of the lifting member 3, and the structure of the lifting assembly 10 is more reasonable. This is beneficial to ensuring the shooting quality of the electronic device when the lifting assembly 10 is applied to the electronic device.

[0342] During the process of the lifting assembly 10 switching from the retracted state to the raised state, the first connecting arm 41 rotates counterclockwise relative to the base 1, the outer part 2 rotates counterclockwise relative to the base 1, and the outer part 2 flips up relative to the base 1; the lifting assembly 3 rotates clockwise relative to the outer part 2, the lifting assembly 3 rotates clockwise relative to the first connecting arm 41, and the lifting assembly 3 moves horizontally relative to the base 1 and rises.

[0343] It is understandable that during the process of the lifting assembly 10 switching from the raised state to the retracted state, the process of each component of the lifting assembly 10 switching from the retracted state to the raised state is roughly the opposite.

[0344] Please see Figure 35 , Figure 35 yes Figure 29 The diagram shows an exploded view of the power component 5 in some embodiments.

[0345] In some embodiments, the power assembly 5 may include a drive motor 51, a first crank 52, and a first connector 53.

[0346] For example, the drive motor 51 may have an output shaft 511. For details regarding the configuration of the drive motor 51, please refer to... Figure 22 The relevant descriptions in the embodiments will not be repeated in this embodiment. For example, the drive motor 51 may also have a mounting part 512.

[0347] For example, the first crank 52 may have a first end 521 and a second end 522, with the first end 521 fixedly connected to the second end 522. The first crank 52 may also have a first connecting hole 5211 and a second connecting hole 5221.

[0348] For example, the first connector 53 may have a first end 531 and a second end 532, with the first end 531 fixedly connected to the second end 532. The first connector 53 may also have a third connecting hole 5311 and a fourth connecting hole 5321.

[0349] The structural configuration of the first crank 52 and the first connecting member 53 can be referred to Figure 22 The relevant descriptions in the embodiments will not be repeated in this embodiment.

[0350] Please refer to the following: Figures 36 to 38 , Figure 36 yes Figure 35 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of the power assembly 5 in some embodiments. Figure 37 yes Figure 27 The diagram shown is a schematic representation of the lifting assembly 10 in some embodiments in its raised state. Figure 38 yes Figure 27 The diagram shows the structure of the lifting assembly 10 in a retracted state in some embodiments.

[0351] In some embodiments, the drive motor 51 is fixedly connected to the base 1, the first end 521 of the first crank 52 is fixedly connected to the output shaft 511 of the drive motor 51, the second end 522 of the first crank 52 is rotatably connected to the first end 531 of the first connector 53, and the second end 532 of the first connector 53 is rotatably connected to the outer appearance component 2.

[0352] For example, the drive motor 51 can be mounted in the mounting slot 119 of the base 1. For instance, the mounting part 512 can be fixed to the slot wall of the mounting slot 119.

[0353] For example, the output shaft 511 of the drive motor 51 can be located in the first connecting hole 5211 and fixedly connected to the hole wall of the first connecting hole 5211. The second connecting hole 5221 and the third connecting hole 5311 can be coaxially arranged and rotatably connected by a rotating shaft. The fourth connecting hole 5321 of the first connector 53 and the first rotating hole 29 of the outer appearance part 2 are coaxially arranged and can be rotatably connected by a rotating shaft.

[0354] When the lifting assembly 10 needs to deform, the drive motor 51 drives the first crank 52 to rotate, which in turn moves the first connecting member 53. The first connecting member 53 causes the outer appearance part 2 to rotate relative to the base 1, and simultaneously causes the lifting member 3 to rise and fall relative to the base 1. In this embodiment, the power assembly 5 has a simple structure, and the power assembly 5 directly drives the movement of the outer appearance part 2, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the movement of the outer appearance part 2 and the lifting member 3.

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

[0357] The above are merely some embodiments and implementation methods of this application. The scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto.
