[0045] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, with examples illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In the following description, when referring to the drawings, identical numerals in different figures represent identical or similar elements, unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments are not intended to represent all possible embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present disclosure, as detailed in the appended claims.
[0046] At present, more and more electronic devices such as mobile phones use multiple cameras to achieve diversified shooting functions. In the related art, the camera bracket that can assemble multiple cameras at the same time has the problem of poor positioning accuracy when assembled on the middle frame, which affects the refinement of the electronic device. For example, when assembling multiple cameras, multiple brackets are assembled into one body, and each bracket is assembled with a camera. However, the reliability of this assembly method is poor, and the cumulative tolerance between the cameras is large, resulting in poor consistency and refinement of the assembly, and it is impossible to realize the integrated supply of multiple cameras, resulting in high assembly costs.
[0047] Based on this, related technologies use an integrated camera bracket, meaning that multiple cameras can be mounted on one bracket simultaneously to reduce assembly costs. After assembly, it is then attached to the electronic device's midframe. During this process, related technologies only use screws to fasten the camera bracket to the midframe. This process can easily cause the camera bracket to shift, resulting in poor positioning accuracy and affecting the sophistication of the electronic device.
[0048] To address the above technical issues, the present disclosure provides a camera bracket, wherein the bracket body is provided with at least two receiving portions for mounting cameras, and a position limiting assembly is provided on the bracket body, which can limit the position of the cameras on the middle frame. In this way, multiple cameras can be simultaneously mounted on a single bracket body, simplifying the structure of the camera bracket. Furthermore, when the camera bracket of the present disclosure is used to assemble multiple cameras, the assembly difficulty and cost can be effectively reduced while ensuring assembly consistency. Furthermore, the position limiting action of the position limiting assembly can effectively improve the positioning accuracy and reliability of the camera bracket, thereby contributing to improving the sophistication of the electronic device.
[0049] An exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure provides a camera bracket, such as Figure 1As shown, the camera bracket 1 includes a bracket body 11 and a limit assembly. The bracket body 11 is provided with at least two accommodating portions 12 for mounting the camera 21. For example, the bracket body 11 may be provided with only two accommodating portions 12, or may be provided with multiple accommodating portions 12, such as 3, 4, 5, etc. In this way, multiple cameras 21 can be installed simultaneously through one bracket body 11, making the structure of the camera bracket 1 simple. Furthermore, when the camera bracket 1 disclosed in the present invention is used to assemble multiple cameras 21, the assembly difficulty and assembly cost can be effectively reduced, while the consistency of the assembly can be ensured, thereby improving the assembly accuracy.
[0050] Combine Figure 1 and Figure 4 The limiting assembly is provided on the bracket body 11 and is used to limit the camera bracket 1 on the middle frame 31. With this arrangement, when the camera bracket 1 is assembled on the middle frame 31, the limiting action of the limiting assembly can effectively improve the positioning accuracy and reliability of the camera bracket 1. While facilitating assembly, it prevents the camera bracket 1 from shifting during subsequent assembly steps, thereby effectively improving assembly refinement and contributing to improving the refinement of the electronic device 3.
[0051] Combine Figure 1 In one embodiment, the limiting assembly includes a plurality of limiting members 13, and the plurality of limiting members 13 are disposed on the outer surface of at least one accommodating portion 12. For example, the bracket body 11 is provided with a plurality of accommodating portions 12, and the plurality of limiting members 13 may be disposed on the outer surface of any one of the plurality of accommodating portions 12, or the plurality of limiting members 13 may be disposed on the outer surfaces of different accommodating portions 12. Such a design can effectively improve the limiting effect of the camera bracket 1, thereby not only improving the setting stability of the camera bracket 1, thereby improving the reliability of the electronic device 3, but also further improving the positioning accuracy of the camera bracket 1.
[0052] Combine Figure 1In one embodiment, each accommodating portion 12 is a frame-type structure, and the frame-type structure has four corner portions. It can be understood that a corner portion refers to the angle between two adjacent side walls of the frame-type structure. A limiting member 13 is provided on two adjacent corner portions of at least one frame-type structure. For example, the limiting member 13 can be provided only on two adjacent corner portions on one frame-type structure, or the limiting member 13 can be provided on two adjacent corner portions on each frame-type structure. By adopting such a setting form, the limiting effect of the camera bracket 1 can be improved, thereby improving the stability of the camera bracket 1. In addition, since the two adjacent corner portions on the frame-type structure are at the two ends of the frame-type structure, compared with setting the limiting member 13 on the side wall of the frame-type structure, by setting the limiting member 13 on the two adjacent corner portions, the displacement of the frame-type structure can be further avoided. While improving the limiting effect, it is also beneficial to simplify the structure of the limiting member 13, thereby facilitating the weight reduction of the electronic device 3.
[0053] In one embodiment, each corner portion includes a connected bottom surface and side surfaces. It can be understood that the camera bracket 1 is used to be assembled on the middle frame 31. The bottom surface refers to the surface facing the middle frame 31 when the camera bracket 1 is assembled on the middle frame 31, and the side surface refers to the surface connected to the bottom surface and perpendicular to the middle frame 31.
[0054] Combine Figure 1 , each limiting member 13 includes a limiting plate 131 and a limiting protrusion 132. The limiting plate 131 is provided on the bottom surface, and the limiting plate 131 is used to be attached to the inner surface of the positioning rib 312 of the middle frame 31. The limiting protrusion 132 is provided on the side surface, and the limiting protrusion 132 is used to be placed on the top of the positioning rib 312. Exemplarily, the middle frame 31 includes a support plate and a frame provided on each edge of the support plate, a receiving groove 311 is provided on the support plate, and a plurality of positioning ribs 312 are provided on the side wall of the receiving groove 311, and the plurality of positioning ribs 312 correspond one-to-one to the plurality of limiting members 13. The accommodating groove 311 is, for example, a rectangular groove body adapted to the frame structure. Positioning ribs 312 are provided at the corners of the rectangular groove body, and the positioning ribs 312 are adapted to the limiting member 13. The positioning ribs 312 are, for example, plate-shaped structures adapted to the curvature of the corners. The limiting plate 131 of the limiting member 13 is a plate-shaped structure adapted to the curvature of the positioning ribs 312. When the camera bracket 1 is placed in the accommodating groove 311, the limiting plate 131 is attached to the inner surface of the positioning ribs 312, and the limiting protrusion 132 of the limiting member 13 rests on the top of the positioning ribs 312. It is understood that the inner surface of the positioning rib 312 refers to the side surface of the positioning rib 312 facing the interior of the accommodating groove 311, while the top of the positioning rib 312 refers to the side of the sidewall of the accommodating groove 311 of the positioning rib 312. Such a design makes the structure of the limiting member 13 simple, facilitates production and processing, and is beneficial to the purpose of reducing the weight of the electronic device 3.
[0055] In addition, a recessed portion 133 is provided on the side surface of the corner portion at the position corresponding to the limiting protrusion 132. The recessed portion 133 is recessed inward from the side surface until it is flush with the outer surface of the limiting plate 131. The limiting protrusion 132 is connected to the limiting plate 131 via the recessed portion 133. This arrangement can increase the depth of the frame structure within the accommodating groove 311, thereby effectively improving the stability of the camera bracket 1 and further enhancing the reliability of the electronic device 3.
[0056] Combine Figure 1 In one embodiment, the plurality of accommodating portions 12 include at least a first accommodating portion 121 and a second accommodating portion 122. For example, the bracket body 11 may be provided with only the first accommodating portion 121 and the second accommodating portion 122, or may be provided with a plurality of accommodating portions 12, such as 3, 4, 5, etc.
[0057] The first accommodating portion 121 is a frame-shaped structure, comprising a first sidewall 1211 and a second sidewall 1212 disposed opposite each other. The first sidewall 1211 is located between two adjacent first corner portions 1213 of the first accommodating portion 121, and both first corner portions 1213 are provided with a limiter 13. The second accommodating portion 122 is also a frame-shaped structure, comprising a third sidewall 1221 and a fourth sidewall 1222 disposed opposite each other. The third sidewall 1221 is located between two adjacent second corner portions 1223 of the second accommodating portion 122, and both second corner portions 1223 are provided with a limiter 13. The fourth sidewall 1222 is opposite the second sidewall 1212. Since the first accommodating portion 121 and the second accommodating portion 122 are both frame-type structures, the first side wall 1211 of the first accommodating portion 121 and the third side wall 1221 of the second accommodating portion 122 are located on opposite sides, and by arranging the limiting members 13 on the corner portions at both ends of the first side wall 1211 and the corner portions at both ends of the third side wall 1221, while being able to effectively improve the limiting effect, compared with being arranged at other positions, it is beneficial to simplify the structure of the limiting member 13 and reduce the number of the limiting members 13, thereby not only making the structure of the camera bracket 1 simple and convenient for production and processing, but also contributing to the purpose of reducing the weight of the electronic device 3.
[0058] Combine Figure 1 In one embodiment, the camera bracket 1 further includes a positioning portion 14 disposed on the bracket body 11 and configured to position the camera bracket 1 at a predetermined installation position. This effectively improves the positioning accuracy of the camera bracket 1, thereby enhancing the assembly consistency and refinement of the electronic device 3.
[0059] Combine Figure 1 、 Figure 5 and Figure 7In one embodiment, the positioning portion 14 includes a positioning plate disposed on the second side wall 1212. The positioning plate cooperates with the second elastic body 32 on the middle frame 31, so that the limiting plates 131 on the first corner portion 1213 abut against the inner surface of the positioning rib 312 of the middle frame 31, thereby positioning the camera bracket 1 in a predetermined installation position. For example, the second elastic body 32 may be a rubber structural member. When the camera bracket 1 is installed in the accommodating groove 311 of the middle frame 31, the limiting plates 131 on the first corner portions 1213 at both ends of the first side wall 1211 of the first accommodating portion 121 abut against the inner surface of the positioning rib 312 corresponding to the limiting plates 131. Simultaneously, the elastic action of the second elastic body 32 provides a thrust for the positioning plates on the second side wall 1212 to move toward the first side wall 1211, thereby causing the two limiting plates 131 to cling tightly to the inner surface of the positioning rib 312, thereby achieving the positioning of the first accommodating portion 121. This effectively prevents displacement of the first accommodating portion 121, reduces tolerance accumulation, and effectively improves the positioning accuracy of the first accommodating portion 121. Furthermore, since the bracket body 11 is a one-piece structure, positioning a single accommodating portion 12 on the bracket body 11 also achieves overall positioning of the camera bracket 1, improving the positioning accuracy of the camera bracket 1. It should be understood that the preset installation position refers to the position of the camera bracket 1 after the second elastic body 32 and the positioning plate have positioned the camera bracket 1.
[0060] By adopting such a setting, the positioning accuracy and positioning reliability of the camera bracket 1 can be further improved, thereby improving the setting stability of the camera bracket 1 while further improving the assembly precision and reliability of the electronic device 3.
[0061] In another embodiment, the positioning portion 14 includes a positioning plate disposed on the fourth side wall 1222. The positioning plate cooperates with the second elastic body 32 on the middle frame 31, so that the limiting plates 131 on the second corner portion 1223 abut against the inner surface of the positioning rib 312 of the middle frame 31, thereby positioning the camera bracket 1 in a predetermined installation position. For example, the second elastic body 32 may be a rubber structural member. When the camera bracket 1 is installed in the accommodating groove 311 of the middle frame 31, the limiting plates 131 on the second corner portions 1223 at both ends of the third side wall 1221 of the second accommodating portion 122 abut against the inner surface of the positioning rib 312 corresponding to the limiting plates 131. Simultaneously, the elastic action of the second elastic body 32 provides a thrust for the positioning plates on the fourth side wall 1222 to move toward the third side wall 1221, thereby causing the two limiting plates 131 to cling tightly to the inner surface of the positioning rib 312, thereby achieving positioning of the second accommodating portion 122. In this way, displacement of the second receiving portion 122 can be effectively avoided, tolerance accumulation is reduced, and the positioning accuracy of the second receiving portion 122 is effectively improved. Since the bracket body 11 is an integrated structure, positioning of a receiving portion 12 on the bracket body 11 also achieves overall positioning of the camera bracket 1, thereby improving the positioning accuracy of the camera bracket 1.
[0062] By adopting such a setting, the positioning accuracy and positioning reliability of the camera bracket 1 can be further improved, thereby improving the setting stability of the camera bracket 1 while further improving the assembly precision and reliability of the electronic device 3.
[0063] In one embodiment, the camera bracket 1 further includes a fastening portion provided on the bracket body 11, and the camera bracket 1 is fastened to the middle frame 31 via the fastening portion. In this way, the stability of the camera bracket 1 when provided on the middle frame 31 can be further improved, thereby improving the reliability of the electronic device 3.
[0064] Combine Figure 1 In one embodiment, the fastening portion includes a screw hole 15 provided on the bracket body 11. Screws are passed through the screw hole 15 to fasten the camera bracket 1 to the middle frame 31. This design simplifies the fastening method of the camera bracket 1, improves assembly efficiency, and reduces assembly costs.
[0065] Since the electronic device 3 is usually provided with a signal line for connecting the camera 21 to the mainboard, signal transmission between the camera 21 and the mainboard is realized. Figure 1In one embodiment, the camera bracket 1 further includes a positioning slot 16 disposed on the bracket body 11. The signal line is disposed within the positioning slot 16 to achieve positioning of the signal line. This arrangement further standardizes the routing of the signal line within the electronic device 3, effectively reducing the internal space occupied by the signal line and preventing interference with other components within the electronic device 3.
[0066] In the related art, when assembling the camera 21 on the camera bracket 1, the method of gluing is usually adopted, which requires the use of gluing equipment, resulting in high assembly costs and poor reliability of the gluing connection. Figure 1 In one embodiment, each accommodating portion 12 is a frame-type structure, which includes an accommodating cavity 123 for mounting a camera 21. A first elastic body 17 is provided in the accommodating cavity 123. The first elastic body 17 may be, for example, a rubber structural member, a foam structural member, or the like. For example, the first elastic body 17 may be fixed in the accommodating cavity 123 by gluing, snapping, or the like. When the camera 21 is disposed in the accommodating cavity 123, the first elastic body 17 abuts against the outer side wall of the camera 21. Under the action of the first elastic body 17, a thrust is provided to the camera 21 to adhere closely to the side wall of the accommodating cavity 123, thereby enabling the camera 21 to adhere closely to the side wall of the accommodating cavity 123, so as to limit the camera 21 in a first direction, where the first direction is perpendicular to the outer side wall of the camera 21.
[0067] Such a design can improve the stability and reliability of the camera 21 when assembled on the camera bracket 1, reduce the tolerance accumulation, and improve the positioning accuracy of the camera 21. In addition, it can also save the dispensing equipment and dispensing process, thereby also helping to reduce assembly costs.
[0068] Combine Figure 1 In one embodiment, the accommodating cavity 123 includes four sidewalls. Two adjacent sidewalls of the accommodating cavity 123 are each provided with a first elastic member 17, while the other two adjacent sidewalls of the accommodating cavity 123 are not provided with the first elastic member 17. When the camera 21 is disposed in the accommodating cavity 123, the two first elastic members 17 respectively abut against two adjacent outer sidewalls of the camera 21, so that the outer sidewall of the camera 21 is attached to the other two adjacent sidewalls of the accommodating cavity 123. This further improves the stability of the positioning of the camera 21, thereby improving the positioning accuracy of each camera 21 and also enhancing the reliability of the electronic device 3.
[0069] In one embodiment, the accommodating cavity 123 has a first opening and a second opening opposite to each other in the second direction, the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction, and the first opening is used to face the middle frame 31. Figure 1 and Figure 6The camera bracket 1 also includes a limiting portion 18, which is provided at the second opening. The limiting portion 18 is used to cooperate with the middle frame 31 to jointly limit the camera 21 in the second direction. When the camera 21 is assembled in the accommodating portion 12, the camera 21 can be placed in the accommodating cavity 123 from the first opening along the second direction until the camera 21 abuts against the limiting portion 18, and the first elastic body 17 is used to limit the camera 21 in the first direction. Thereafter, the camera bracket 1 assembled with the camera 21 is installed on the middle frame 31, and the middle frame 31 blocks the first opening, and then the camera 21 can be limited in the second direction by the middle frame 31 and the limiting portion 18. In this way, the positioning accuracy and stability of the camera 21 can be effectively improved while preventing the camera 21 from shifting, thereby effectively improving the reliability of the electronic device 3.
[0070] Combine Figure 1 In one embodiment, the limiting portion 18 includes a limiting plate 131, which is disposed at the corner between two adjacent sidewalls of the accommodating cavity 123. This effectively improves the stability of the limiting plate 131. The limiting plate 131 can partially block the second opening, thereby acting as a stop for the camera 21. This configuration simplifies the structure of the limiting portion 18 and facilitates production and processing.
[0071] Combine Figure 1 In one embodiment, a plurality of limiting portions 18 are provided at intervals along the circumference of the second opening. This can further improve the limiting effect of the camera 21.
[0072] Combine Figure 1 In one embodiment, the camera holder 1 further includes a buffer member 19, which may be, for example, foam. The buffer member 19 is disposed on the surface of the retaining portion 18 facing the first opening. When the camera 21 is positioned within the accommodating cavity 123, the buffer member 19 abuts against the top wall of the camera 21. With this design, when the electronic device 3 is impacted, the buffer member 19 absorbs at least a portion of the impact, effectively reducing the impact force on the camera 21 and thereby improving the reliability of the camera 21.
[0073] Combine Figure 1 and Figure 2An exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure provides a camera assembly 2, which includes the camera bracket 1 described above and at least two cameras 21. The camera bracket 1 includes a bracket body 11 and a limit assembly. The bracket body 11 is provided with at least two accommodating portions 12 for mounting the cameras 21, and each camera 21 is disposed in a one-to-one correspondence within the accommodating portion 12. In this way, multiple cameras 21 can be simultaneously mounted using a single bracket body 11, simplifying the structure of the camera bracket 1. This effectively reduces the difficulty and cost of assembling the camera assembly 2, while also ensuring assembly consistency and improving assembly accuracy.
[0074] The limiting assembly is provided on the bracket body 11 and is used to limit the camera bracket 1 to the middle frame 31. With this arrangement, when the camera bracket 1 is assembled on the middle frame 31, the limiting action of the limiting assembly can effectively improve the positioning accuracy and reliability of the camera bracket 1. While facilitating assembly, it also prevents the camera bracket 1 from shifting during subsequent screw tightening, thereby effectively improving the assembly refinement and contributing to the refinement of the electronic device 3.
[0075] Combine Figure 3 In one embodiment, the camera assembly 2 further includes a first electromagnetic shielding member 22 disposed on each camera 21. The first electromagnetic shielding member 22 may be, for example, a metal foil.

[0076] Combine Figure 3 In one embodiment, the first electromagnetic shielding member 22 includes a shielding member body 221 and multiple extensions 222 connected to the shielding member body 221. The shielding member body 221 is attached to the bottom of the camera 21, and the extensions 222 are attached to the outer side walls of the camera 21. The first elastic member 17 of the camera bracket 1 abuts against the extensions 222. This arrangement, on the one hand, provides multi-dimensional electromagnetic protection for the camera 21, thereby improving the comprehensiveness of the electromagnetic shielding and further preventing electromagnetic signal interference with the camera 21. On the other hand, it simplifies the structure of the first electromagnetic shielding member 22 and facilitates assembly.
[0077] Combine Figure 1 and Figure 7In one embodiment, the camera assembly 2 further includes a grounding member 23, which is disposed on the camera bracket 1. Exemplarily, the grounding member 23 is secured to the camera bracket 1 via a slot therein. The grounding member 23 is used to electrically connect to the motherboard to dissipate static electricity from the camera assembly 2, thereby eliminating electromagnetic interference. This prevents electromagnetic signals from interfering with the camera 21 while also preventing electromagnetic radiation generated by electromagnetic equipment from interfering with the outside world. This further improves the reliability of the electronic device 3 and enhances the user experience.
[0078] In one embodiment, the grounding member 23 comprises a multi-contact spring, each contact of which is connected to each camera 21 and the mainboard. This arrangement simplifies the structure of the grounding member 23, facilitates production and processing, and is also easy to assemble.

The electronic device 3 may be, for example, a mobile device such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a PDA, an in-vehicle electronic device, a wearable device, an ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), a netbook, or a personal digital assistant (PDA). It may also be a non-mobile device such as a personal computer (PC), a television (TV), an ATM, or an kiosks.
[0080] Combine Figure 4 The electronic device 3 includes a middle frame 31 and the camera assembly 2 as described above. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The camera assembly 2 includes the camera bracket 1 described above and at least two cameras 21. The camera bracket 1 includes a bracket body 11 and a limit assembly. The bracket body 11 is provided with at least two accommodating portions 12 for mounting the cameras 21. Each camera 21 is disposed in a one-to-one correspondence within the accommodating portion 12. In this way, multiple cameras 21 can be simultaneously mounted on a single bracket body 11, simplifying the structure of the camera bracket 1. This effectively reduces the difficulty and cost of assembling the camera assembly 2, while also ensuring assembly consistency and improving assembly accuracy.
[0081] Combine Figure 8The middle frame 31 is provided with a receiving groove 311, and the sidewalls of the receiving groove 311 are provided with a plurality of positioning ribs 312. The camera bracket 1 of the camera assembly 2 is disposed in the receiving groove 311, and the limiting components of the camera bracket 1 cooperate with the positioning ribs 312 to limit the camera assembly 2 to the middle frame 31. Exemplarily, the middle frame 31 includes a support plate and a frame arranged on each edge of the support plate, a receiving groove 311 is provided on the support plate, and a plurality of positioning ribs 312 are provided on the side walls of the receiving groove 311, and the plurality of positioning ribs 312 correspond one-to-one to the plurality of limiting members 13. The receiving groove 311 is, for example, a rectangular groove body adapted to the frame structure, and the positioning ribs 312 are provided on the corners of the rectangular groove body, and the positioning ribs 312 are adapted to the limiting members 13. The positioning ribs 312 are, for example, a plate-shaped structure adapted to the bending curvature of the corners, and the limiting plate 131 of the limiting member 13 is a plate-shaped structure adapted to the bending curvature of the positioning ribs 312. When the camera bracket 1 is arranged in the receiving groove 311, the limiting plate 131 is attached to the inner surface of the positioning rib 312, and the limiting protrusion 132 of the limiting member 13 is placed on the top of the positioning rib 312.
[0082] With such a setting, when the camera bracket 1 is assembled on the middle frame 31, the positioning accuracy and reliability of the camera bracket 1 can be effectively improved under the limiting action of the limiting component. While facilitating assembly, the camera bracket 1 can be prevented from shifting during the subsequent tightening process by screws, thereby effectively improving the assembly refinement and helping to improve the refinement of the electronic device 3.
[0083] Combine Figure 8 In one embodiment, the positioning portion 14 of the camera holder 1 includes a first surface facing the camera 21 and a second surface facing away from the first surface. The electronic device 3 also includes a second elastic member 32. For example, the second elastic member 32 may be a rubber structure. The second elastic member 32 is disposed on the middle frame 31 and abuts against the second surface. This design makes the structure of the electronic device 3 more compact, thereby facilitating a miniaturized design of the electronic device 3.
[0084] Combine Figure 8 In one embodiment, a groove 313 is provided on the middle frame 31 at a position corresponding to the second elastic body 32. The second elastic body 32 is disposed within the groove 313, and the groove 313 communicates with the receiving groove 311, allowing the second elastic body 32 to abut against the second surface. This facilitates the placement of the second elastic body 32 and also simplifies the structure of the middle frame 31, making it easier to manufacture and process.
[0085] In one embodiment, the electronic device 3 further includes at least two second electromagnetic shielding elements. Exemplarily, the number of second electromagnetic shielding elements corresponds to the number of cameras 21. That is, when only two cameras 21 are provided, only two second electromagnetic shielding elements are provided; when multiple cameras 21 are provided, multiple second electromagnetic shielding elements are provided. Each second electromagnetic shielding element is provided on the middle frame 31, corresponding to the position of a camera 21 in each camera assembly 2. Exemplarily, the second electromagnetic shielding element may be, for example, conductive fabric. This effectively isolates electromagnetic waves, improves the operational stability of the cameras 21, and thus further enhances the reliability of the electronic device 3.
