[0032] Electronic devices are equipped with lenses to meet users' needs for taking photos and videos.
[0033] To meet higher requirements for photography and video recording, external lenses are usually attached to electronic devices. However, external lenses are inconvenient to carry.
[0034] In view of this, the present disclosure provides an electronic device that can be provided with at least a first lens and a second lens. The first lens can be a regular lens, and the second lens can be movable relative to the first lens so as to move to the light-incident side of the second lens when needed, thereby forming an external lens for the first lens. Since the second lens is provided on the electronic device, it can be conveniently carried.
[0035] See Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the electronic device 10 may include: a body 11, a first lens 12 and a second lens 13. The first lens 12 is connected to the body 11. The second lens 13 is connected to the body 11 through an adjustment component 14 and can be switched between a first position and a second position relative to the first lens 12 through the adjustment component 14. When the second lens 13 is in the first position relative to the first lens 12, the projection of the second lens 13 along the incident light direction does not coincide with the first lens 12. When the second lens 13 is in the second position relative to the first lens 12, the projection of the second lens 13 along the incident light direction at least partially coincides with the first lens 12.
[0036] Electronic device 10 can be a mobile phone, tablet computer, all-in-one computer, monitor, or other similar device.
[0037] The main body 11 is the main body of the electronic device 10. For example, if the electronic device 10 is a mobile phone, the main body may include a mobile phone case, a motherboard inside the mobile phone case, a battery inside the mobile phone case, and a display screen disposed on one side of the mobile phone case. Or, if the electronic device 10 is a tablet computer, the main body may include a tablet computer case, a motherboard inside the tablet computer case, a battery inside the tablet computer case, and a display screen disposed on one side of the tablet computer case.
[0038] The first lens 12 is connected to the main body 11, and the light-incident side of the first lens 12 can be exposed from the main body 11 to capture images. The first lens 12 can be fixed to the main body 11 by fasteners such as screws, or by an integral method such as welding, or by other methods.
[0039] The second lens 13 may have different parameters from the first lens 12, including but not limited to focal length, angle of view, and light intensity. The second lens 13 is connected to the main body 11 via an adjustment component 14. The presence of the adjustment component 14 allows the second lens 13 to change position relative to the first lens 12, and after the position change, it will be in either a first position or a second position relative to the first lens 12. The light incident direction of the second lens 13 is the direction in which light emitted or reflected from the subject enters the second lens 13, or the direction through the lens of the second lens 13 (i.e., the optical axis direction). The projection of the second lens 13 along the light incident direction does not coincide with the first lens 12; the image acquisition area of the second lens 13 and the image acquisition area of the first lens 12 may be completely offset. Alternatively, the projection of the second lens 13 along the light incident direction may at least partially coincide with the first lens 12; this could be a portion of the image acquisition area of the second lens 13 being opposite to a portion of the image acquisition area of the first lens 12, or a portion of the image acquisition area of the second lens 13 being opposite to the entire image acquisition area of the first lens 12, or the entire image acquisition area of the second lens 13 being opposite to the first lens 12. The image acquisition area of the first lens 12 is partially opposite to, or the entire image acquisition area of the second lens 13 is completely opposite to, the entire image acquisition area of the first lens 12. Thus, when the second lens 13 is in a first position relative to the first lens 12, the image acquisition area of the second lens 13 is completely offset from the image acquisition area of the first lens 12, so that the first lens 12 can acquire the first image. When the second lens 13 is in a second position relative to the first lens 12, the image acquisition area of the second lens 13 and the image acquisition area of the first lens 12 at least partially overlap, so that the second lens 13 can form an external lens for the first lens 12 to acquire the second image. The second image and the first image have different imaging quality.
[0040] See one example. Figures 1 to 6As shown, the electronic device 10 is a mobile phone. The electronic device 10 may include: a body 11, a first lens 12 and a second lens 13. The first lens 12 is connected to the body 11. The second lens 13 is connected to the body 11 through an adjustment component 14 and can be switched between a first position and a second position relative to the first lens 12 through the adjustment component 14. When the second lens 13 is in the first position relative to the first lens 12, the projection of the second lens 13 along the incident light direction does not coincide with the first lens 12. When the second lens 13 is in the second position relative to the first lens 12, the projection of the second lens 13 along the incident light direction at least partially coincides with the first lens 12. The focal length of the first lens 12 is between 35mm and 85mm, and the field of view is close to the natural field of view of the human eye; the focal length of the second lens 13 is greater than 85mm, the field of view is narrow, and it can bring distant objects closer and make them appear larger; when it is necessary to set the first lens 12 as an external lens, the second lens 13 can be adjusted to the light-incident side of the first lens 12 by adjusting the adjustment component 14, so that the second lens 13 becomes an external lens of the first lens 12, and after use, the second lens 13 can be returned to its original position by adjusting the adjustment component 14.
[0041] In this embodiment, the electronic device 10 is provided with a first lens 12 and a second lens 13. The second lens 13 is mounted on the electronic device 10 via an adjustment component 14, allowing its position to be adjusted. Thus, when the first lens 12 needs to be externally attached, the second lens 13 can be adjusted to the light-incident side of the first lens 12, forming an external lens for the first lens 12. After use, the second lens 13 is returned to its original position via the adjustment component 14, so as not to affect the independent use of the first lens 12. Here, because the second lens 13 is mounted on the electronic device 10, it allows for convenient portability.
[0042] In some embodiments, see Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the second lens 13 is in a first position relative to the first lens 12, and the first lens 12 has a first focal length; the second lens 13 is in a second position relative to the first lens 12, and the first lens 12 has a second focal length, which is greater than the first focal length.
[0043] In other words, when the second shot 13 is in the first position relative to the first shot 12, see... Figure 5 As shown, the optical axis of the second lens 13 does not coincide with the optical axis of the first lens 12. At this time, the first lens 12 has a first focal length (e.g., Figure 5 (5.5 mm in the middle) to complete the object shooting at the first focal length; when the second lens 13 is in a second position relative to the first lens 12, see Figure 6As shown, the second lens 13 works in conjunction with the first lens 12 to give the first lens 12 a second focal length (e.g., Figure 6 The second focal length is 9mm (in the image), and the second focal length is greater than the first focal length, so that the first lens 12 can be externally mounted through the second lens 13. It should be noted that... Figure 5 The dashed arrows and Figure 6 The dashed arrows in the diagram represent the simulated light paths.
[0044] In some embodiments, the second lens 13 can be rotated, slid, or flipped relative to the body 11 by means of the adjustment component 14, so that the second lens 13 can switch between a first position and a second position.
[0045] Alternatively, the adjustment component 14 can be used to allow the second lens 13 to rotate relative to the body 11 in a planar space, so that the second lens 13 can rotate from a first position relative to the first lens 12 to a second position, or it can rotate from a second position relative to the first lens 12 to a first position; or, the adjustment component 14 can be used to allow the second lens 13 to slide relative to the body 11, so that the second lens 13 can slide from a first position relative to the first lens 12 to a second position, or it can slide from a second position relative to the first lens 12 to a first position; or, the adjustment component 14 can be used to allow the second lens 13 to flip relative to the body 11, so that the second lens 13 can flip from a first position relative to the first lens 12 to a second position, or it can flip from a second position relative to the first lens 12 to a first position.
[0046] When the second lens 13 slides relative to the main body 11 to switch between the first position and the second position, the first lens 12 can be provided with a first privacy cover via a slide rail. Then, by sliding the first privacy cover to not cover the first lens 12, the second lens 13 can be slid along the slide rail to the original position of the first privacy cover, so that the second lens 13 becomes an external lens of the first lens 12. After use, the second lens 13 can be slid in the opposite direction to return to its original position, and the first privacy cover can be slid to its original position.
[0047] When the second lens 13 is flipped relative to the main body 11 to switch between the first position and the second position, the first lens 12 can be flipped to have the second privacy cover. Then, the second lens 13 can be flipped back to the original position of the second privacy cover so that the second lens 13 becomes an external lens of the first lens 12. After use, the second lens 13 can be flipped back to its original position, and the second privacy cover can be flipped back to its original position.
[0048] In this embodiment, three structural configurations of the adjustment component 14 are provided, namely a rotation structure, a sliding structure, and a flipping structure, so that they can be flexibly selected and configured.
[0049] In some embodiments, the second lens 13 is in a first position relative to the first lens 12, and the first lens 12 and the second lens 13 satisfy the condition of being flush; the second lens 13 is in a second position relative to the first lens 12, and the optical axis of the second lens 13 coincides with the optical axis of the first lens 12 to change the light path of the first lens 12, and the optical axis of the first lens 12 satisfies the condition of being parallel to the light direction.
[0050] When the second lens 13 is in a first position relative to the first lens 12, and the first lens 12 and the second lens 13 are aligned, the light-incident side of the first lens 12 and the light-incident side of the second lens 13 are on the same plane. This allows the first lens 12 and the second lens 13 to have a visually appealing alignment in this state. The optical axis of the second lens 13 is its central axis, and the optical axis of the first lens 12 is its central axis. Thus, the optical axis of the second lens 13 coincides with the optical axis of the first lens 12, which can alter the light path of the first lens 12. Simultaneously, the optical axis of the first lens 12 can be parallel to the light-incident direction, allowing the second lens 13 to function as an external lens for the first lens 12.
[0051] In some embodiments, see Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the adjustment assembly 14 may include: a gear 141 and an annular rack 142. The gear 141 is disposed on the body 11; the annular rack 142 is disposed on the body 11 and meshes with the gear 141 to rotate; wherein, the first lens 12 and the second lens 13 are both disposed in the annular rack 142, and the second lens 13 can be connected to the annular rack 142 so as to switch between the first position and the second position with the annular rack 142.
[0052] In other words, the annular rack 142 is provided with a first lens 12 and a second lens 13, and the annular rack 142 meshes with the gear 141 so that the annular rack 142 can rotate when the gear 141 provides rotational power. At the same time, the second lens 13 is connected to the annular rack 142 so that it can switch between a first position and a second position relative to the first lens 12 during the rotation of the annular rack 142.
[0053] In this embodiment, the gear 141 and the ring rack 142 of the adjustment component 14 have a simple structure and are easy to manufacture. The meshing of the gear 141 and the ring rack 142 makes the rotation of the ring rack 142 more stable, thereby making the switching process of the second lens 13, which is connected to the ring rack 142, between the first position and the second position more stable. At the same time, the first lens 12 and the second lens 13 are set inside the ring rack 142 to avoid occupying space again.
[0054] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the adjustment assembly 14 further includes: an adjustment plate 143 and a lifting mechanism 144. The adjustment plate 143 can rotate with the annular rack 142. The adjustment plate 143 is provided with a through hole 1431. The lifting mechanism 144 is connected to the second lens 13. The second lens 13 is in a first position relative to the first lens 12. The first lens 12 and the second lens 13 are located on one side of the adjustment plate 143. The second lens 13 is in a second position relative to the first lens 12. Under the action of the lifting mechanism 144, the second lens 13 passes through the through hole 1431 at least partially to be located on the other side of the adjustment plate 143. The through hole 1431 through which the second lens 13 passes corresponds to the first lens 12.
[0055] In other words, the lifting mechanism 144 can adjust the position of the second lens 13 so that the second lens 13 can switch between being on one side of the adjustment plate 143 (such as the first position) and partially passing through the through hole 1431 to be located on the other side of the adjustment plate 143 (such as the second position). When the second lens 13 is located on one side or the other side of the adjustment plate 143, the first lens 12 can also be located on one side of the adjustment plate 143. Here, during the process of switching the second lens 13 from the first position relative to the first lens 12 to the second position, the lifting mechanism 144 can first adjust the position of the second lens 13 so that at least a portion of the second lens 13 passes through the through hole 1431 to be located on the other side of the adjustment plate 143. Then, when the annular rack 142 rotates, the second lens 13, which is connected to the annular rack 142, rotates with the annular rack 142 to the second position. Since the second lens 13 passes through the through hole 1431, the adjustment plate 143 can rotate with the rotation of the annular rack 142.
[0056] Adjustment plate 143 can be as follows Figure 1 and Figure 2The adjustment plate 143 shown is circular and disposed within the annular rack 142. It also has a light-transmitting area (a transparent structural component or opening) so that, when the second lens 13 is in the first position, the first lens 12 can capture images through the light-transmitting area. The adjustment plate 143 can be circular and disposed at one end of the annular rack 142 in the thickness direction, and it also has a light-transmitting area (a transparent structural component or opening) so that, when the second lens 13 is in the first position, the first lens 12 can capture images through the light-transmitting area. The adjustment plate 143 can also be configured in other ways. There can be multiple second lenses 13. The adjustment plate 143 can have multiple through holes 1431 corresponding to multiple second lenses 13. Under the lifting drive of the same lifting mechanism 144 or different lifting mechanisms 144, a certain second lens 13 can be moved to a second position relative to the first lens 12. The parameters of multiple second lenses 13 can be different, so that when different second lenses 13 are corresponding to the second position of the first lens 12, different functions of the first lens 12 can be extended.
[0057] The lifting mechanism 144 may include a lead screw, which passes through the non-light-collecting portion of the second lens 13. During the rotation of the lead screw, the second lens 13 rises and disengages from the lead screw, passing through the through hole 1431. Then, under the rotation of the annular rack 142, the second lens 13, along with the adjusting plate 143, moves to the second position. After use, the reverse rotation of the annular rack 142 allows the second lens 13 to be passed through the lead screw again, and the reverse rotation of the lead screw causes the second lens 13 to descend. Alternatively, the lifting mechanism 144 may include a cylinder, whose piston rod drives the second lens 13 to rise or fall.
[0058] In this embodiment, the second lens 13 is in a first position relative to the first lens 12, and the first lens 12 and the second lens 13 are located on one side of the adjustment plate 143, so that the first lens 12 and the second lens 13 can be protected by the adjustment plate 143; and the second lens 13 is in a second position relative to the first lens 12, and the first lens 12 can still be located on one side of the adjustment plate 143, so that the first lens 12 can be continuously protected by the adjustment plate 143.
[0059] In some embodiments, when the second lens 13 is in the first position, the second lens 13 can be positioned protruding from the light-incident side of the first lens 12. Thus, when it is necessary to form an external lens for the first lens 12 using the second lens 13, the second lens 13 can be rotated to the light-incident side of the first lens 12 using a structure such as a ring rack 142. After image acquisition, the second lens 13 can be reset, allowing switching between the first and second positions. When setting up the electronic device 10, the first position can be configured such that the light-incident sides of the first lens 12 and the second lens 13 are flush, and an adjustment plate 143 and a lifting mechanism 144 are provided. The second lens 13 can be raised and then adjusted to the corresponding light-incident side of the first lens 12 by the drive of the ring rack 142, thereby achieving the external mounting of the first lens 12. Alternatively, the second lens 13 can be positioned so that it protrudes from the light-incident side of the first lens 12 in the first position, and the second lens 13 can be rotated and adjusted to the corresponding light-incident side of the first lens 12, thereby achieving the external mounting of the first lens 12.
[0060] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the second lens 13 is provided with a first connecting structure 131; the inner wall of the annular rack 142 is provided with a second connecting structure 1421. The first connecting structure 131 and the second connecting structure 1421 are in concave-convex cooperation to realize the connection between the second lens 13 and the annular rack 142.
[0061] In other words, the second lens 13 may be provided with a protruding first connecting structure 131, and the inner wall of the annular rack 142 may be provided with a recessed second connecting structure 1421. The protrusion of the first connecting structure 131 may be located within the recess of the second connecting structure 1421, so that the second lens 13, during the switching between the first position and the second position, is driven by the annular rack 142 to move toward or away from the light-incident side of the first lens 12; or; the second lens 13 may be provided with a recessed first connecting structure 131, and the inner wall of the annular rack 142 may be provided with a protruding second connecting structure 1421. The recess of the first connecting structure 131 may be provided with a protrusion of the second connecting structure 1421, so that the second lens 13, during the switching between the first position and the second position, is driven by the annular rack 142 to move toward or away from the light-incident side of the first lens 12.
[0062] In this embodiment, the connection between the second lens 13 and the annular rack 142 can be achieved through the concave-convex fit of the first connecting structure 131 and the second connecting structure 1421. This allows the second lens 13 to switch between the first position and the second position as the annular rack 142 rotates. The concave-convex fit is simple to set and the assembly process is easy.
[0063] In some embodiments, a plurality of first lenses 12 are opposite to each other; a plurality of second lenses 13 are opposite to each other, and the plurality of second lenses 13 are staggered with the plurality of first lenses 12.
[0064] Alternatively, it can be described that there are multiple first lenses 12, arranged in pairs opposite each other; there are multiple second lenses 13, also arranged in pairs opposite each other; and the multiple second lenses 13 are interspersed with the multiple first lenses 12 in a preset order. For example: there are two first lenses 12, arranged opposite each other, and two second lenses 13, arranged opposite each other, and arranged clockwise with first lenses 12, second lenses 13, first lenses 12, and second lenses 13 respectively, and the first lenses 12, second lenses 13, first lenses 12, and second lenses 13 can correspond to the four corners of the square; or, for another example: there are four first lenses 12, arranged in pairs opposite each other, and four second lenses 13, arranged in pairs opposite each other, and arranged clockwise with two first lenses 12, two second lenses 13, two first lenses 12, and two second lenses 13 respectively, and the two first lenses 12, two second lenses 13, two first lenses 12, and two second lenses 13 correspond to the four sides of the square.
[0065] The parameters of multiple first lenses 12 can be the same or different, and the parameters of multiple second lenses 13 can be the same or different. Thus, multiple first lenses 12 and multiple second lenses 13 are provided on the same electronic device 10, and the second lens 13 can be used with a certain first lens 12 to form an external lens for that first lens 12. In this way, different combinations can be achieved to meet the user's requirements for different imaging quality.
[0066] In some embodiments, see Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the second lens 13 is driven relative to the body 11 along the light-incident direction by the lifting mechanism 144, so that the second lens 13 at least partially passes through the through hole 1431; the second lens 13 adopts one of the following combinations: wide-angle lens, macro lens, telephoto lens, fisheye lens, neutral density lens, graduated neutral density lens.
[0067] The effect of attaching the second lens 13 to the first lens 12 varies depending on the specific circumstances. For example, if the second lens 13 is a wide-angle lens, attaching it to the first lens 12 allows the first lens 12 to capture a wider angle. If the second lens 13 is a macro lens, attaching it to the first lens 12 allows the first lens 12 to capture images of objects at closer distances. If the second lens 13 is a telephoto lens, attaching it to the first lens 12 allows the first lens 12 to capture images of objects at closer distances. The head 12 can zoom in on distant objects to capture images; when the second lens 13 is a fisheye lens or the like, after the second lens 13 is used as an external lens for the first lens 12, the first lens 12 can capture images with distortion effects; when the second lens 13 is a neutral density lens, after the second lens 13 is used as an external lens for the first lens 12, the first lens 12 can capture images after filtering; when the second lens 13 is a graduated neutral density lens, after the second lens 13 is used as an external lens for the first lens 12, the first lens 12 can change the exposure of certain parts of the image.
[0068] In some embodiments, the main body 11 further includes a display screen, a communication module, and a processing device. The processing device is signal-connected to both the display screen and the communication module, and the communication module is used to send or receive communication signals. Thus, the display screen can display images captured by the first lens 12 in real time, the processing device can process the images captured by the first lens 12 and send the processed images to the display screen for display, and the processing device can send, but is not limited to, processed image information to other electronic devices 10 via the communication module.
[0069] When the electronic device 10 is a mobile phone, the display screen can be the display screen that the mobile phone itself has, and the communication module can be the antenna or other modules that the mobile phone has for transmitting and receiving communication signals; when the electronic device 10 is a tablet computer, the display screen can be the display screen that the tablet itself has, and the communication module can be the antenna or other modules that the tablet computer has for transmitting and receiving communication signals.
[0070] In one example, electronic device 10 is a mobile phone, see [reference needed]. Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the electronic device 10 may include:
[0071] Ontology 11;
[0072] First lens 12, first lens 12 is connected to body 11;
[0073] The second lens 13 is connected to the main body 11 via an adjustment component 14, and can be switched between a first position and a second position relative to the first lens 12 via the adjustment component 14. In the first position, the projection of the second lens 13 along the incident light direction does not coincide with that of the first lens 12, and the first lens 12 has a first focal length. In the second position, the projection of the second lens 13 along the incident light direction coincides with that of the first lens 12, and the first lens 12 has a second focal length greater than the first focal length. The second lens 13 employs one of the following combinations: wide-angle lens, macro lens, telephoto lens, fisheye lens, neutral density lens, or graduated neutral density lens, and the second lens 13 is provided with a first connecting structure 131.
[0074] The adjustment assembly 14 includes a gear 141, a ring rack 142, an adjustment plate 143, and a lifting mechanism 144. The gear 141 is mounted on the body 11, and the ring rack 142 is mounted on the body 11 and meshes with the gear 141 to rotate as the gear 141 rotates. The ring rack 142 is located around the first lens 12 and the second lens 13. The adjustment plate 143 is located inside the ring rack 142 and has a through hole 1431. The lifting mechanism 144 is connected to the second lens 13. The inner wall of the ring rack 142 has a second connecting structure 1421 that can be convex and concave with the first connecting structure 131. The second lens 13 is in a first position relative to the first lens 12. Lens 12 and lens 13 are located on one side of adjustment plate 143. The first connecting structure 131 and the second connecting structure 1421 are not in a concave-convex fit. During the switching process of the second lens 13 relative to the first lens 12 from the first position to the second position, the second lens 13, under the action of the lifting mechanism 144, at least partially passes through the through hole 1431 to be located on the other side of adjustment plate 143. At this time, the first connecting structure 131 and the second connecting structure 1421 are in a concave-convex fit, so that during the rotation of the annular rack 142, the second lens 13 can rotate with the adjustment plate 143 towards the light-incident side of the first lens 12, thereby positioning the second lens 13 in the second position to form an external lens for the first lens 12. After use, the second lens 13 can be reset by reversing the rotation of the gear 141 to cause the annular rack 142 to rotate in the opposite direction.
