At the same time, the term "and / or" used in this specification includes any and all combinations of the relevant listed items.

[0050] With the rapid development of science and technology, 3C electronic products have been widely used in people's work and life, especially in electronic devices such as tutoring machines, tablet computers, and mobile phones. 3C electronic products are the abbreviations of three types of electronic products: computers, communications, and consumer electronic products. In order to cater to people's consumer experience, high screen-to-body ratio or full-screen technology has become the main development trend of these electronic devices. High screen-to-body ratio or full-screen has outstanding advantages such as atmosphere and beauty, which is very consistent with people's consumer experience, and people's requirements for the screens of these electronic devices are getting higher and higher. However, since technologies such as under-screen integrated cameras are far from mature, the camera cannot penetrate the display screen to take pictures, so the front camera must be designed in an area outside the display screen. In order to achieve a full screen, the camera is often hidden on the back of the display screen, and the camera is extended when taking pictures, that is, it is designed as a camera that can be raised and lowered. At the same time, in order to increase the shooting direction of the camera, the camera is also designed as a flippable camera, that is, the camera can be flipped after being extended to adjust the shooting direction.

[0051] However, in the related art, two independent driving components are usually used to realize the lifting and flipping of the camera, that is, one driving component (hereinafter referred to as the first driving component) is used to drive the camera to lift, and the other driving component (hereinafter referred to as the second driving component) is used to drive the camera to flip. At the same time, in order to convert the rotational motion of the first driving component into the linear motion of the camera, the first driving component and the camera are usually connected by a gear rack or a worm gear, etc. There are many parts and the manufacturing precision is very high. It is necessary to ensure that the small parts are manufactured to the qualified level while ensuring the meshing precision of the gear set or the worm gear, which leads to relatively high manufacturing costs.

[0052] In view of this, an embodiment of the present utility model provides an electronic device which can reduce the number of parts and eliminate complex processes to reduce manufacturing costs.

[0053] The electronic device of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0054] See also Figures 1 to 4 The embodiment of the utility model discloses an electronic device, the electronic device 100 includes a device housing 11, a camera assembly 12 and a driving assembly 13, the device housing 11 is provided with a mounting slot 111 connected to the outside of the device housing 11, the camera assembly 12 includes a mounting housing 121 and a camera 122, the mounting housing 121 is slidably arranged in the mounting slot 111, and the mounting housing 121 is provided with a first rotating portion 1211, the camera 122 is provided with a second rotating portion 1221 rotatably connected to the first rotating portion 1211, the driving assembly 13 is arranged in the device housing 11, and the driving assembly 13 is connected to the mounting housing 121 and / or the camera 122, and the driving assembly 13 is used to drive the mounting housing 121 in a state of sliding into the mounting slot 111 (such as Figure 1 As shown) and the state of sliding out of the mounting slot 111 (as shown Figure 2 That is, the camera 122 can be switched between a state of sliding into the mounting slot 111 and a state of sliding out of the mounting slot 111, and the drive assembly 13 is also used to rotate the camera 122 when the mounting housing 121 slides out of the mounting slot 111 (as shown). Figure 3 As shown), to change the shooting direction of the camera 122, thereby increasing the shooting range of the camera 122.

[0055] The present application utilizes the driving component 13 to drive the camera 122 to slide, so as to realize the lifting and lowering of the camera 122. When taking pictures, the driving component 13 is used to slide the camera 122 out of the installation slot 111. When the camera 122 is not needed to take pictures, the camera 122 is hidden in the installation slot 111 of the device housing 11, that is, the camera 122 is hidden behind the display screen. In this way, the camera 122 does not need to be designed in an area outside the display screen, and the shooting of the camera 122 will not be blocked by the display screen, so that the electronic device 100 can realize a full-screen design and improve the screen-to-body ratio of the electronic device 100. At the same time, since the driving component 13 can be used to drive the camera 122 to slide into the installation slot 111 when the shooting function is not needed, the camera 122 is hidden in the installation slot 111, which avoids the situation that the camera 122 is damaged by external force during use due to the protrusion of the camera 122 outside the device housing 11, which is conducive to protecting the camera 122 and improving the service life of the camera 122.

[0056] The electronic device 100 in the present application may be, but is not limited to, a tutoring machine, a learning machine, a learning tablet or a smart phone, etc. The technical solution provided in the present application can solve the problem that the front camera 122 of the traditional electronic device 100 is set on the front and cannot achieve a true full-screen design. The electronic device 100 in the present application does not need to occupy the space of the display area of ​​the device housing 11, which meets the user's full-screen operation needs and provides a good user experience.

[0057] Optionally, when the electronic device 100 of the present application is used as a learning tool to assist learning (such as a tutoring machine, a learning machine, a learning tablet, etc.), in actual use, the electronic device 100 can be placed on a table or desktop for placing learning materials, so that the display screen can face the user to facilitate the user's use. When it is necessary to use the electronic device 100 to take photos and search for questions, at this time, the camera 122 can be slid out of the mounting slot 111 and then rotated to adjust the shooting direction of the camera 122, so that the device housing 11 can take photos with the display screen facing the user while the camera 122 can face the flat area in front of the display screen to take photos, and then the content on the learning materials can be captured. No additional auxiliary accessories are required, which can effectively improve the flexibility of the shooting function of the electronic device 100 to meet the different shooting needs of users in different occasions and scenarios.

[0058] The mounting groove 111 in the present application can be provided at the top or side of the device housing 11. The top of the device housing 11 can be Figures 1 to 4 The end indicated by the upward arrow in the figure, the side of the device housing 11 may be Figures 1 to 4 Preferably, the mounting groove 111 is disposed at the top of the device housing 11, and the mounting groove 111 is disposed at the top of the device housing 11, so that the setting position of the camera 122 can be close to the setting position of the camera 122 of the traditional electronic device 100, which is more conducive to fitting the user's usage habits.

[0059] In the present application, one of the first rotating part 1211 and the second rotating part 1221 is an axial hole, and the other is a rotating shaft, that is, when the first rotating part 1211 is an axial hole, the second rotating part 1221 is a rotating shaft, and when the first rotating part 1211 is a rotating shaft, the second rotating part 1221 is an axial hole.

[0060] See also Figures 4 to 6In the present application, the mounting slot 111 is provided with a first limiting portion 112, and the camera assembly 12 further includes a sliding component 123, which is slidably disposed on the mounting housing 121, and the sliding component 123 is provided with a second limiting portion 1231, which is used to abut against the first limiting portion 112 to limit the sliding stroke of the sliding component 123, that is, when the driving assembly 13 drives the mounting housing 121 to slide out of the mounting slot 111, the sliding component 123 slides with the mounting housing 121, and stops sliding when the second limiting portion 1231 abuts against the first limiting portion 112. The camera 122 is also provided with an eccentric shaft 1222 relative to the second rotating portion 1221, and the eccentric shaft 1222 is rotatably connected to the sliding component 123. When the driving component 13 drives the mounting shell 121 to slide out of the mounting groove 111 and slide until the second limiting portion 1231 abuts against the first limiting portion 112, the sliding component 123 is stationary relative to the mounting groove 111, and the mounting shell 121 can still slide relative to the mounting groove 111 under the drive of the driving component 13, so as to pull the eccentric shaft 1222 to rotate relative to the sliding component 123, and the second rotating portion 1221 rotates relative to the first rotating portion 1211, that is, when the sliding component 123 stops sliding and the camera 122 continues to slide with the mounting shell 121, the eccentric shaft 1222 will be subjected to the pulling force of the sliding component 123, so that the second rotating portion 1221 rotates relative to the first rotating portion 1211, thereby realizing the rotation of the camera 122.

[0061] That is, when the driving component 13 drives the mounting housing 121 to gradually slide upward out of the mounting groove 111, during this process, the camera 122 and the sliding component 123 can move upward together with the mounting housing 121, and when sliding to the second limiting portion 1231 and the first limiting portion 112, the sliding component 123 is held by the first limiting portion 112 and cannot continue to slide upward with the mounting housing 121, and reaches its sliding limit position before the mounting housing 121, and the driving component 13 can still continue to drive the mounting housing 121 to slide upward, and drive the camera 122 to continue to move upward. During this process, due to the restraining action of the second limiting portion 1231 and the first limiting portion 112, the sliding component 123 is stationary relative to the mounting groove 111, while the camera 122 can continue to slide upward driven by the mounting shell 121. During this process, it can be regarded as that the sliding component 123 moves downward relative to the camera 122, which will pull the eccentric shaft 1222 to rotate, that is, the eccentric shaft 1222 will be subjected to the pulling force of the sliding component 123, so that the second rotating portion 1221 rotates relative to the first rotating portion 1211, thereby realizing the flipping of the camera 122.

[0062] It can be seen from the above that by adopting the technical solution of the present application, the same drive component 13 can be used to realize the two functions of lifting and flipping the camera 122, reducing the number of drive components 13, which is beneficial to simplifying the structure of the drive component 13 and saving the use of parts, making the structure of the entire drive component 13 more compact, thereby helping to reduce the occupation of the internal space of the device housing 11 and meet the miniaturization and lightweight design requirements of the electronic device 100; at the same time, there is no need to adopt complex gear racks or worm gears, further reducing the use of parts, and there is no need to consider the meshing accuracy of gear racks or worm gears, thereby reducing the manufacturing accuracy requirements, eliminating complex processes, and further reducing manufacturing costs.

[0063] In some optional embodiments, the first limiting portion 112 may be a protrusion convexly provided on the groove wall surface of the installation groove 111, and the second limiting portion 1231 may be a protrusion convexly provided on the surface of the sliding member 123, and the second limiting portion 1231 and the first limiting portion 112 are in the sliding direction of the installation groove 111 (for example, Figure 4 The second limiting portion 1231 is arranged in the up and down directions in the middle, and the second limiting portion 1231 is located below the first limiting portion 112, so that when the sliding component 123 slides upward out of the mounting groove 111 along with the mounting shell 121, it can drive the second limiting portion 1231 to slide together. When the second limiting portion 1231 slides to stop with the first limiting portion 112, the sliding component 123 cannot continue to slide upward, thereby achieving the purpose of limiting the sliding stroke of the sliding component 123.

[0064] In some other optional embodiments, one of the first limiting portion 112 and the second limiting portion 1231 is a limiting groove, and the other of the first limiting portion 112 and the second limiting portion 1231 is a limiting protrusion, that is, when the first limiting portion 112 is a limiting groove provided on the groove wall surface of the installation groove 111, the second limiting portion 1231 is a limiting protrusion convexly provided on the surface of the sliding component 123, and when the first limiting portion 112 is a limiting protrusion convexly provided on the groove wall surface of the installation groove 111, the second limiting portion 1231 is a limiting groove provided on the sliding component 123. The limiting protrusion is slidably embedded in the limiting groove, and the limiting protrusion can abut against the side wall of the limiting groove along the sliding direction of the installation housing 121 to limit the sliding stroke of the sliding component 123.

[0065] Preferably, if Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the first limiting portion 112 is a limiting groove provided on the groove wall of the installation groove 111, and the second limiting portion 1231 is a limiting protrusion provided on the surface of the sliding member 123, and the limiting protrusion is slidably embedded in the limiting groove. When the sliding member 123 slides upward out of the installation groove 111 along with the installation housing 121, it can drive the limiting protrusion to slide together. When the limiting protrusion slides to one side wall of the limiting groove along the sliding direction of the installation housing 121, the sliding member 123 cannot continue to slide upward, thereby achieving the purpose of limiting the upward sliding stroke of the sliding member 123. In addition, when the sliding member 123 slides downward into the installation groove 111 along with the installation housing 121, it can drive the limiting protrusion to slide together. When the limiting protrusion slides to the other side wall of the limiting groove along the sliding direction of the installation housing 121, the sliding member 123 cannot continue to slide upward, thereby achieving the purpose of limiting the downward sliding stroke of the sliding member 123.

[0066] Optionally, the limiting groove may penetrate the outer surface of the device housing 11 (ie, the surface of the device housing 11 opposite to the groove wall of the installation groove 111 ), which can reduce the material used for the device housing 11 and reduce the weight of the device housing 11 .

[0067] In this embodiment, the driving assembly 13 may be a hydraulic driving mechanism, a pneumatic driving mechanism, an electric driving mechanism, or the like.

[0068] When the driving assembly 13 is a hydraulic driving mechanism or a pneumatic driving mechanism, the driving assembly 13 may include a driving part and a piston, wherein the driving part is disposed in the device housing 11, the piston is connected to the driving part and can be retracted relative to the driving part, and the piston is also connected to the mounting housing 121 to drive the mounting housing 121 to slide. In other words, by driving the extension or retraction of the telescopic part, the mounting housing 121 is driven to perform linear reciprocating motion, so as to realize the conversion of the mounting housing 121 between the state of sliding into the mounting groove 111 and the state of sliding out of the mounting groove 111.

[0069] When the driving assembly 13 is an electric driving mechanism, Figure 7As shown, the driving assembly 13 may include a rotating motor 131, a screw rod 132, a guide rod 133 and a slider 134. The rotating motor 131 is arranged in the equipment housing 11. The screw rod 132 is connected to the output shaft of the rotating motor 131. The guide rod 133 is connected to the rotating motor 131, and the central axis of the guide rod 133 is parallel to the central axis of the screw rod 132. One end of the slider 134 can be slidably sleeved outside the screw rod 132 and is threadedly connected to the screw rod 132. The other end of the slider 134 can be slidably sleeved outside the guide rod 133 and is connected to the installation housing 121. Therefore, when the rotating motor 131 drives the screw rod 132 to rotate, the slider 134 sleeved outside the screw rod 132 will move along the screw rod 132 and the guide rod 133 under the constraint of the guide rod 133, thereby driving the installation housing 121 to slide relative to the installation groove 111, so as to realize the conversion of the installation housing 121 between the state of sliding into the installation groove 111 and the state of sliding out of the installation groove 111.

[0070] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8 As shown, the camera assembly 12 further includes a connecting component 124 , and the connecting component 124 is disposed on the mounting housing 121 .

[0071] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the connecting member 124 is provided with a through hole 1241, the eccentric shaft 1222 includes a first shaft body 1222a and a second shaft body 1222b disposed on the first shaft body 1222a, the first shaft body 1222a is passed through the through hole 1241, the central axis of the second shaft body 1222b is parallel to and staggered with the central axis of the first shaft body 1222a, that is, the central axis of the second shaft body 1222b is parallel to and coincides with the first central axis, and the second shaft body 1222b is rotatably connected to the sliding member 123. When the eccentric shaft 1222 is subjected to the pulling force of the sliding member 123, not only the second rotating part 1221 will rotate relative to the first rotating part 1211, but also the first shaft body 1222a will rotate relative to the through hole 1241, so that the rotation stability of the camera 122 can be improved, so that the camera 122 can be turned over smoothly, thereby facilitating the turning of the camera 122 to adjust the shooting direction of the camera 122.

[0072] In some optional embodiments, such as Fig. 9 and Fig.10As shown, the connecting component 124 has a first side surface 1242 in the axial direction of the eccentric shaft 1222, and the sliding component 123 has a second side surface 1232 in the axial direction of the eccentric shaft 1222. The first side surface 1242 and the second side surface 1232 face each other, and one of the first side surface 1242 and the second side surface 1232 is provided with a sliding rail 1243, and the other of the first side surface 1242 and the second side surface 1232 is provided with a sliding groove 1233, that is, when the first side surface 1242 is provided with the sliding rail 1243, the second side surface 1232 is provided with the sliding groove 1233, and when the first side surface 1242 is provided with the sliding groove 1233, the second side surface 1232 is provided with the sliding rail 1243. Among them, the slide rail 1243 can be slidably inserted into the slide groove 1233, so that when the sliding component 123 stops sliding and there is relative sliding between the connecting component 124 and the sliding component 123, the cooperation between the slide rail 1243 and the slide groove 1233 can be utilized to guide the sliding of the connecting component 124, the mounting shell 121 and the camera 122, so that the camera 122 can be flipped smoothly, thereby facilitating the flipping of the camera 122 to adjust the shooting direction of the camera 122.

[0073] It can be understood that in other embodiments, a slide rail 1243 may be provided on the groove wall surface of the installation groove in the thickness direction of the device shell, and a slide groove 1233 slidably connected to the slide rail 1243 may be provided on the surface of the sliding component 123 in the thickness direction of the device shell; or, a slide groove 1233 may be provided on the groove wall surface of the installation groove in the thickness direction of the device shell, and a slide rail 1243 slidably connected to the slide groove 1233 may be provided on the surface of the sliding component 123 in the thickness direction of the device shell.

[0074] It should be noted that, in some optional embodiments, the above-mentioned connecting parts 124 may be two, and the two connecting parts 124 are respectively a first sub-connecting part 124 and a second sub-connecting part 124. The first sub-connecting part 124 may be located between the camera 122 and the sliding part 123, and is used to set a through hole 1241 for the first axis 1222a to pass through; and the second sub-connecting part may be located on the side of the sliding part 123 away from the camera 122, and is used to set a slide rail 1243 to cooperate with the slide groove 1233 on the sliding part 123. In some optional embodiments, the above-mentioned connecting component 124 may be one, and the connecting component 124 is located between the camera 122 and the sliding component 123, so that the connecting component 124 can be used to set a through hole 1241 for the first axis 1222a to pass through, and can also be used to set a slide rail 1243 to cooperate with the slide groove 1233 on the sliding component 123. In this way, the use of the connecting component 124 can be reduced, the cost can be reduced, and the structure of the camera assembly 12 can be made more compact.

[0075] When the first side surface 1242 of the present application is provided with a slide rail 1243, and the second side surface 1232 is provided with a slide groove 1233, as shown in FIG. Fig.10 As shown, the slide rail 1243 may be provided with a screw hole 1243a, and the slide groove 1233 passes through the side of the sliding component 123 opposite to the second side 1232; the camera assembly also includes a threaded component 125, the threaded component 125 includes a screw rod 1251 and a head 1252 connected to the screw rod 1251, the screw rod 1251 is threadedly connected to the screw hole, the head 1252 is located outside the screw hole, and the head 1252 is also in contact with the sliding component 123, so as to ensure relative sliding between the connecting component 124 and the sliding component 123 while preventing the slide rail 1243 from detaching from the slide groove 1233 along the axial direction of the eccentric shaft 1222, and the structure is relatively simple and easy to implement.

[0076] In some optional embodiments, combined with Figures 8 to 10 As shown, the connecting component 124 includes a first connecting part 124a, a second connecting part 124b and a third connecting part 124c, wherein the first connecting part 124a has the aforementioned first side surface 1242 in the axial direction of the eccentric shaft 1222, and a sliding rail 1243 or a sliding groove 1233 is also provided in the first connecting part 124a, and the first connecting part 124a has a first connecting end 124a1 and a second connecting end 124a2 opposite to each other along the sliding direction of the mounting shell 121, the first connecting end 124a1 is closer to the opening of the mounting groove than the second connecting end 124a2, the second connecting part 124b is connected to the first connecting end 124a1 at an angle, the third connecting part 124c is connected to the second connecting end 124a2 at an angle, and the sliding component 123 is located between the second connecting part 124b and the third connecting part 124c. The camera assembly 12 further includes a first elastic component 126 . The first elastic component 126 is connected between the second connecting portion 124 b and the sliding component 123 . The third connecting portion 124 c abuts against the sliding component 123 .

[0077] It is understandable that if the first elastic component 126 is not provided, it is necessary to rely on the friction force between the slide rail 1243 and the slide groove 1233 to offset the gravity of the sliding component 123, so as to prevent the sliding component 123 from sliding relative to the connecting component 124 when the camera 122 has not slid out of the mounting groove 111, that is, when the camera 122 is located in the mounting groove 111. Therefore, it is necessary to form a larger friction force between the slide rail 1243 and the slide groove 1233, and after multiple sliding, wear will occur between the slide rail 1243 and the slide groove 1233, reducing the friction force between the slide rail 1243 and the slide groove 1233, so that when the camera 122 has not slid out of the mounting groove 111, it is difficult for the sliding component 123 and the connecting component 124 to remain relatively still. By designing the connecting component 124 to include a first connecting portion 124a, a second connecting portion 124b and a third connecting portion 124c, and arranging the first elastic component 126 between the second connecting portion 124b and one end of the sliding component 123, and making the third connecting portion 124c abut against the other end of the sliding component 123, when the sliding component 123 slides to the limit position, if the mounting housing 121, the camera 122 and the connecting component 124 continue to slide, the first elastic component 126 can be compressed. Therefore, it does not affect the continued sliding of the mounting shell 121, the camera 122 and the connecting component 124. When the camera 122 has not slid out of the mounting groove 111, the second connecting part 124b, the third connecting part 124c and the first elastic component 126 can be used to limit the sliding of the sliding component 123 relative to the connecting component 124 without relying on the friction between the slide rail 1243 and the slide groove 1233, so that the slide rail 1243 and the slide groove 1233 can be transitionally matched, thereby reducing the wear between the slide rail 1243 and the slide groove 1233.

[0078] Optionally, the first elastic component 126 may be a spring, a silicone column, a plastic column, a rubber column or a foam column.

[0079] In some optional embodiments, such as Fig.10 and Fig.11As shown, one of the second connecting portion 124b and the sliding component 123 is provided with a first guide hole 1244, and the other of the second connecting portion 124b and the sliding component 123 is provided with a first guide column 1234, that is, when the second connecting portion 124b is provided with the first guide hole 1244, the sliding component 123 is provided with the first guide column 1234, and when the second connecting portion 124b is provided with the first guide column 1234, the sliding component 123 is provided with the first guide hole 1244. The first guide column 1234 is slidably arranged in the first guide hole 1244, and the first elastic component 126 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the first guide column 1234, so that the first guide column 1234 can guide the deformation of the first elastic component 126, so that the first elastic component 126 can be deformed or restored.

[0080] In some optional embodiments, such as Fig.12 and Fig.13 As shown, the mounting shell 121 is provided with a first fixing portion 1212 and a second fixing portion 1213 relative to each other, the first fixing portion 1212 and the second fixing portion 1213 are arranged at an interval, and the first fixing portion 1212 is closer to the opening of the mounting slot than the second fixing portion 1213; the electronic device 100 also includes a second elastic component 14, the second elastic component 14 abuts between the first fixing portion 1212 and the second fixing portion 1213, and the slider 134 abuts between the second elastic component 14 and the second fixing portion 1213. When the rotating motor 131 drives the screw rod 132 to rotate, the slider 134 sleeved on the screw rod 132 will move along the screw rod 132 and the guide rod 133 under the constraint of the guide rod 133, thereby driving the installation shell 121 to slide relatively. In this process, the slider 134 will not squeeze or compress the second elastic component 14. When the installation shell 121 slides to its extreme position, if the rotating motor 131 fails to stop in time and continues to rotate, the slider 134 will continue to slide and compress the second elastic component 14. That is, the second elastic component 14 can provide the possibility for the continued rotation of the rotating motor, and can play a buffering role to protect the rotating motor 131. At the same time, when the installation shell 121 slides to its extreme position, even if the rotating motor 131 still keeps rotating, it will not drive the installation shell 121 to slide, so as to avoid the installation shell 121 from continuing to collide with the device shell 11 or the limiting component on the device shell 11, thereby causing damage.

[0081] Optionally, the second elastic component 14 may be a spring, a silicone column, a plastic column, a rubber column or a foam column.

[0082] In some optional embodiments, a second guide column 1214 is provided between the first fixing portion 1212 and the second fixing portion 1213, the second elastic component 14 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the second guide column 1214, and the slider 134 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the second guide column 1214 and abuts between the second elastic component 14 and the second fixing portion 1213. Since the second elastic component 14 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the second guide column 1214, the first guide column 1234 can be used to guide the deformation of the second elastic component 14, so that the second elastic component 14 is easy to deform or restore.

[0083] The technical features of the above embodiments may be combined arbitrarily. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0084] In addition, the above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present application, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent of the present application. It should be pointed out that, for a person of ordinary skill in the art, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be understood as limiting the present application, and the protection scope of the present application shall be subject to the attached claims.
