[0015] In order to more clearly describe the technical solutions in the embodiments or background art of the present application, the above briefly introduces the drawings that need to be used in the description of the embodiments or background art. It is obvious that those skilled in the art can obtain other drawings based on these drawings without any creative effort. In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application more clear, the following clearly and completely describes the technical solution of the present application in combination with specific embodiments and corresponding drawings of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, and are not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without any creative effort belong to the protection scope of the present application.

[0016] The technical solutions disclosed in the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings.

[0017] 1 and 2, an embodiment of the present application discloses an electronic device, which includes a case 100, a first driving mechanism 200, and a motion module 300.

[0018] The case 100 provides a mounting base for the first driving mechanism 200 and the motion module 300, and also provides protection for the first driving mechanism 200 and the motion module 300. The case 100 has an internal cavity and a through hole 110 communicating with the internal cavity. The first driving mechanism 200 is installed in the internal cavity, so that the case 100 can provide protection for the first driving mechanism 200.

[0019] The first driving mechanism 200 is connected to the motion module 300, and can drive the motion module 300 to retract into the case 100 through the through hole 110 (i.e., retract into the internal cavity of the case 100) or at least partially protrude out of the case 100. In this case, the motion module 300 can be operated by at least partially protruding out of the case 100 due to the driving action of the first driving mechanism 200. After the operation is completed, the motion module 300 can be accommodated in the case 100 by retracting into the case 100 due to the driving action of the first driving mechanism 200.

[0020] The motion module 300 includes a first bracket 310, a second drive mechanism 320, a second bracket 330, a functional module 340, and a third drive mechanism 350. The functional module 340 is rotatably mounted on the second bracket 330, and the third drive mechanism 350 is mounted on the second bracket 330, so that the second bracket 330 provides a mounting position for the third drive mechanism 350 and the functional module 340. Specifically, the third drive mechanism 350 may be fixed to the second bracket 330 by a method such as welding, adhesive, or connection by a connecting member (e.g., a screw connection member). The functional module 340 may be installed on the second bracket 330 by a rotational fit or bearing connection by an axial hole.

[0021] The third driving mechanism 350 is connected to the functional module 340 and drives the functional module 340 to rotate around the first axis. In one optional manner, the third driving mechanism 350 may be connected to the functional module 340 through a transmission mechanism, and the third driving mechanism 350 can drive the rotation of the functional module 340 through a first transmission mechanism, where the first transmission mechanism may be a chain transmission mechanism, a gear transmission mechanism, a belt transmission mechanism, etc., and the embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific type of the first transmission mechanism.

[0022] The second bracket 330 is rotatably mounted on the first bracket 310, and the second driving mechanism 320 is mounted on the first bracket 310, so that the first bracket 310 can provide a mounting position for the second driving mechanism 320 and the second bracket 330. The second driving mechanism 320 can drive the second bracket 330 to rotate about a second axis, and the functional module 340 can rotate together with the second bracket 330, where the first axis intersects with the second axis or is in a twisted position. In this case, the functional module 340 can rotate about the first axis and also about the second axis, which further improves the freedom of the functional module 340 to rotate in an anti-vibration manner, and realizes anti-vibration in multiple directions for electronic devices.

[0023] Similarly, the second bracket 330 may be rotatably attached to the first bracket 310 by a rotational fit through an axial hole or a bearing. The second drive mechanism 320 may be fixed to the first bracket 310 by welding, adhesive, connection with a connecting member (e.g., a screw connection member), or the like.

[0024] In the embodiment of the present application, the functional module 340 includes an anti-vibration micro-platform 341 and a camera 342, where the camera 342 is movably installed on the anti-vibration micro-platform 341, the camera 342 is an imaging functional device of the functional module 340, and the camera 342 can rotate relative to the anti-vibration micro-platform 341, so as to realize anti-vibration. It should be mentioned that an electromagnetic driving mechanism is generally arranged on the anti-vibration micro-platform 341, which can drive the rotation of the camera 342 so as to realize the anti-vibration rotation of the camera 342, which is a well-known technology and will not be further described here.

[0025] By rotating the functional module 340 around a first axis, it is possible to realize that the camera 342 rotates around the first axis and that the functional module 340 rotates around a second axis, thereby realizing that the camera 342 rotates around the second axis.

[0026] During operation of the electronic device, when a user uses the functional module 340 of the electronic device, the first driving mechanism 200 can drive the motion module 300 to make at least a part of the motion module 300 protrude outside the case 100 through the through hole 110, thereby making the functional module 340 protrude outside the case 100 through the through hole 110. In this case, the functional module 340 can rotate around the second axis when driven by the second driving mechanism 320 and rotate around the third axis when driven by the third driving mechanism 350 without being restricted by the case 100, thereby realizing vibration-proof rotation in a relatively large angle range.

[0027] In the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device has a first anti-shake state and a second anti-shake state, where when the electronic device is in the first anti-shake state, at least one of the second driving mechanism 320 and the third driving mechanism 350 drives the rotation of the functional module 340. Specifically, in a possible driving process, the third driving mechanism 350 stops moving, and the second driving mechanism 320 can drive the second bracket 330 to rotate around the second axis, and also move the functional module 340 to rotate around the second axis, so that the camera 342 can rotate around the second axis, and the camera 342 can rotate around the second axis, finally realizing anti-shake in one direction.

[0028] In another possible driving process, the second driving mechanism 320 stops driving, and the third driving mechanism 350 drives the functional module 340 to rotate around the first axis, so that the camera 342 can rotate around the first axis, and further realizes the camera 342 to rotate around the first axis, and finally realizes vibration isolation in another direction.

[0029] In another possible driving process, the second driving mechanism 320 and the third driving mechanism 350 operate simultaneously, so that the camera 342 rotates around the first axis and also around the second axis at the same time, thereby achieving rotational vibration isolation of the camera 342 in more dimensions.

[0030] When the electronic device is in the second anti-shake state, the camera 342 is rotatable relative to the anti-shake micro-platform 341, so that the camera 342 can achieve anti-shake by rotating relative to the anti-shake micro-platform 341.

[0031] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, the rotation angle range in which the functional module 340 rotates around the first axis or rotates around the second axis is a first angle range, that is, the rotation angle range in which the camera 342 rotates around the first axis or rotates around the second axis is a first angle range.

[0032] The rotation angle range in which camera 342 rotates relative to anti-vibration micro pan head 341 is a second angle range, and the second angle range is smaller than the first angle range. For example, the first angle range in which camera 342 rotates about the first axis or the second axis may be 5°, and the second angle range in which camera 342 rotates relative to anti-vibration micro pan head 341 may be 2°.

[0033] By improving on the related art, the electronic device disclosed in the embodiment of the present application allows the camera 342 to protrude outside the case 100, and performs vibration isolation over a relatively large angular range by driving the second driving mechanism 320 and / or the third driving mechanism 350, while the camera 342 can also perform vibration isolation over a relatively small angular range with respect to the vibration isolation micro pan head 341. In this case, the electronic device can select a corresponding vibration isolation state according to the shake angle during shooting, thereby improving the vibration isolation effect.

[0034] At the same time, in the electronic device disclosed in the embodiments of the present application, the camera 342 protrudes outside the case 100 during the vibration-proof rotation around the first axis or the second axis, so that it is not interfered with by other devices, and vibration proofing over a larger angle can be achieved, thereby avoiding the problem of poor vibration proofing effect due to a relatively small vibration proof correction angle.

[0035] In an alternative solution, the second axis may be an axis extending along the penetrating direction of the through-hole 110, and the second axis may be perpendicular to the first axis. Optionally, the first axis may intersect or be skewed with the optical axis of the camera 342, and of course, the first axis may not be perpendicular to the second axis. For example, the angle between the first axis and the second axis may be 30°, 45°, 60°, etc.

[0036] In an embodiment of the present application, the functional module 340 may further include a light compensation assembly 343, where the light compensation assembly 343 may be fixedly connected to the anti-vibration micro pan head 341. The light compensation direction of the light compensation assembly 343 is consistent with the shooting direction of the camera 342, so that the light compensation assembly 343 can provide light compensation for the camera 342, and further improve the clarity of the image captured by the camera 342 in a dark environment, and finally further improve the shooting effect of the electronic device.

[0037] In the embodiment of the present application, the third driving mechanism 350 and the auxiliary light assembly 343 may be installed on the first side of the second axis, and the vibration-proof micro-platform 341 and the camera 342 may be installed on the second side of the second axis, such a layout method can make the structure and weight on both sides of the second axis relatively uniform, which is favorable for the function module 340 to rotate relatively stably around the second axis. At the same time, such a layout method can reduce the size of the function module 340 along the second axis, which is favorable for reducing the movement stroke of the first driving mechanism 200 to drive the motion module 300, and further provide a relatively sufficient mounting space for other components of the electronic device.

[0038] In the embodiments of the present application, the first driving mechanism 200 may be connected to the motion module 300 through a second transmission mechanism, specifically, the second transmission mechanism may be a chain transmission mechanism, a gear transmission mechanism, a belt transmission mechanism, etc., and the embodiments of the present application do not limit the specific type of the second transmission mechanism.

[0039] In a more preferred embodiment, a base 400 may be installed in the case 100, and an elastic structural member 500 may be installed between the first bracket 310 and the base 400. The elastic structural member 500 may be connected to a first side edge of the first bracket 310, and the first driving mechanism 200 may be connected to a second side edge of the first bracket 310, where the first side edge and the second side edge are two opposite side edges of the first bracket 310 respectively. During the operation of the first driving mechanism 200, the first driving mechanism 200 can drive the movement of the motion module 300 to generate an expansion and contraction deformation in the elastic structural member 500, and the elastic structural member 500 can exert a cushioning effect through its own deformation, thereby preventing the motion of the motion module 300 from being too fast and causing a relatively large collision. For example, in the process of the first driving mechanism 200 driving the motor module 300 to retract into the case 100, the elastic structural member 500 is compressed and deformed, and generates a buffering force in the opposite direction to the retraction direction of the motor module 300, thereby preventing the motor module 300 from violently retracting into the case 100 and causing a relatively large collision, and improving the stability of the retraction of the motor module 300. In the process of the first driving mechanism 200 driving the motor module 300 to protrude out of the case 100, the elastic structural member 500 is elastically pulled, and further preventing the motor module 300 from protruding out of the case 100 too quickly.

[0040] At the same time, the elastic structural member 500 and the first driving mechanism 200 are respectively installed on the first side edge and the second side edge, so that the force received by the motion module 300 can be made relatively even and the motion module 300 can be prevented from being subjected to a relatively large deflection force, which is advantageous for the motion module 300 to realize more stable movement.

[0041] In a further technical solution, the electronic device may further include a guide 600. Specifically, the base 400 is fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the case 100. One end of the guide 600 may be fixedly connected to the base 400. The guiding direction of the guide 600 may be consistent with the through-hole 110's penetrating direction. The other end of the guide 600 is a free end. When the elastic structural member 500 is fitted into the guide 600, the elastic structural member 500 deforms in the guiding direction of the guide 600, so that the deformation accuracy of the elastic structural member 500 is relatively high, and the cushioning effect of the elastic structural member 500 is further improved.

[0042] In yet another technical solution, a sleeve member 700 may be installed on the first side edge of the first bracket 310, specifically, the sleeve member 700 may be fitted into the guide 600, and the elastic structural member 500 may be elastically positioned between the sleeve member 700 and the base 400, so that the guide 600 may be fixedly installed between the base 400 and the first bracket 310, thereby avoiding the elastic structural member 500 being fixedly connected to the first bracket 310, making it easy to replace the elastic structural member 500 alone after it is damaged, and avoiding the problem of relatively high repair costs caused by maintenance personnel needing to replace the elastic structural member 500 and the first bracket 310 together.

[0043] In the embodiment of the present application, a first circuit board 800 may be fixed in the case 100, a second circuit board 900 may be provided on the first bracket 310, and the second circuit board 900 is electrically connected to the first circuit board 800 through a first flexible electrical connection member, and the first flexible electrical connection member may be a flexible cable or a flexible circuit board. In one alternative manner, the guide 600 may be a hollow guide rod, and the first flexible electrical connection member may pass through the hollow guide rod, thereby preventing the first flexible electrical connection member from being entangled with other components of the electronic device when the movement module 300 passes through the through hole 110 to extend or retract.

[0044] Similarly, a rotating shaft 120 may be installed in the case 100, and the second bracket 330 may be rotatably fitted with the first bracket 310 via the rotating shaft 120, where the rotating shaft 120 may be a hollow shaft and have a central hole, and the third driving mechanism 350 and the functional module 340 may be electrically connected to the second circuit board 900 via a second flexible electrical connection member passing through the central hole. Optionally, the second flexible electrical connection member may be a flexible circuit board or a flexible cable.

[0045] Specifically, the third drive mechanism 350 may be electrically connected to the second circuit board 900 via a second flexible electrical connection member, which passes through a central hole to avoid the second flexible electrical connection member from becoming entangled with other components of the electronic device during rotation of the second bracket 330.

[0046] In an embodiment of the present application, the third driving mechanism 350 can drive the functional module 340 to switch between a first angle and a second angle, where when the functional module 340 is at the first angle, the functional module 340 faces a first direction, such that the camera 342 can capture an image along the first direction, and the supplemental light assembly 343 faces the first direction to provide supplemental light to the environment, and further improve the clarity of the image captured by the camera 342 in the first direction.

[0047] When the functional module 340 is at the second angle, the functional module 340 faces the second direction, so that the camera 342 can take an image along the second direction, and the supplementary light assembly 343 can provide light illumination to the environment in the second direction, and further improve the clarity of the image taken by the camera 342 in the second direction. The first direction and the second direction may be opposite to each other, thereby increasing the width of the rotation of the camera 342 around the first axis, and further expanding the shooting range of the camera 342. In this case, according to the functional module 340, the camera 342 may be a front camera or a rear camera, which is advantageous for arranging fewer cameras in the electronic device.

[0048] The electronic devices disclosed in the embodiments of the present application may be mobile phones, tablet computers, e-book readers, wearable devices (e.g., smart glasses, smart watches), game consoles, medical instruments, etc., and the embodiments of the present application do not limit the specific types of electronic devices.

[0049] An embodiment of the present application discloses a control method for an electronic device, in which the electronic device involved is the electronic device described in the above embodiment, and the disclosed control method includes the following steps.

[0050] Step 101, control information is received.

[0051] In this step, the electronic device can form control information according to the shake angle by detecting the shake angle when the electronic device is photographed by a detection device (e.g., a gyro), and this process may be performed by a processor of the electronic device. Specifically, the electronic device may form different control information according to the magnitude of the shake angle. When the shake angle is relatively large, the electronic device forms first control information, and when the shake angle is relatively small, the electronic device forms second control information.

[0052] Specifically, the magnitude of the shake angle may be determined by whether the shake angle exceeds a preset threshold value. For example, if the shake angle is greater than a preset threshold value (e.g., 4°), the electronic device may form a first control information indicating that the shake angle is relatively large, and if the shake angle is smaller than the preset threshold value, the electronic device may form a second control information indicating that the shake angle is relatively small.

[0053] Step 102, if the control information is the first control information, control at least one of the second driving mechanism 320 and the third driving mechanism 350 to drive the rotation of the functional module 340;

[0054] In this step, when the shake angle is relatively large, the second driving mechanism 320 and the third driving mechanism 350 can rotate the functional module 340, and further allow the camera 342 to perform vibration isolation at a relatively large angle around the first axis or the second axis.

[0055] Step 103 , if the control information is the second control information, the camera 342 is controlled to rotate relative to the vibration-proof micro pan head 341 .

[0056] In this step, when the vibration isolation angle is relatively small, the camera 342 performs vibration isolation at a relatively small angle with respect to the vibration isolation micro pan head.

[0057] In the process of a user taking a picture using the camera 342, the electronic device can cause at least one of the second driving mechanism 320 and the third driving mechanism 350 to drive the rotation of the functional module 340 according to the shaking state, or the electronic device can rotate the camera 342 relative to the vibration-proof micro-platform 341 according to the shaking state, thereby realizing vibration proofing within a large angle range and a small angle range.

[0058] The electronic device disclosed in the embodiments of the present application can realize each process realized by the control method in the above method embodiments, and will not be described further here to avoid repetition of description.

[0059] An embodiment of the present application discloses a control device for an electronic device, and the electronic device concerned is the electronic device described in the above embodiment. The disclosed control device includes: a receiving module for receiving control information; a first control module for controlling at least one of the second drive mechanism 320 and the third drive mechanism 350 to drive the rotation of the functional module 340 when the control information is the first control information; and a second control module for controlling the camera 342 to rotate relative to the vibration-proof micro-platform 341 when the control information is the second control information.

[0060] Since the control device disclosed in the embodiments of the present application corresponds to the above-mentioned control method, the relevant parts may refer to the description of the above-mentioned control method part, and will not be further described here.

[0061] When a user takes a photograph using the camera 342, the receiving module can receive control information regarding when the electronic device is in a shake state, and when the control information is first control information, the first control module controls at least one of the second driving mechanism 320 and the third driving mechanism 350 to drive the rotation of the functional module 340, thereby realizing the electronic device to perform shake-proofing in a first shake-proof state, and when the control information is second control information, the second control module controls the camera 342 to rotate relative to the shake-proof micro-platform 341 to perform shake-proofing, thereby causing the electronic device to perform shake-proofing in a second shake-proof state.

[0062] The embodiment of the present application discloses a terminal device 1200, including a processor 1210, a memory 1209, and a program or instruction stored in the memory 1209 and operable on the processor 1210, which, when executed by the processor 1210, can realize each process of any of the above method embodiments and achieve the same technical effect. In order to avoid repetition of description, no further description will be given here.

[0063] FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of the hardware structure of a terminal device 1200 for implementing the embodiments of the present application.

[0064] The embodiments of the present application disclose a readable storage medium, which stores a program or instruction, and when the program or instruction is executed by a processor, can realize each process of any of the above method embodiments and achieve the same technical effect. In order to avoid repetition, no further description will be given here. Here, the readable storage medium can be, for example, a read-only memory (abbreviated as ROM), a random access memory (abbreviated as RAM), a magnetic disk, or an optical disk.

[0065] The terminal device 1200 includes, but is not limited to, components such as a radio frequency unit 1201, a network module 1202, an audio output unit 1203, an input unit 1204, a sensor 1205, a display unit 1206, a user input unit 1207, an interface unit 1208, a memory 1209, a processor 1210, and a power supply 1211. As can be understood by those skilled in the art, the structure of the terminal device 1200 shown in Figure 3 does not constitute a limitation of the terminal device 1200, and the terminal device 1200 may include more or less components than the number of components shown, or a combination of some components, or a different arrangement of components.

[0066] Here, the sensor 1205 is used to detect the shake angle when the electronic device takes a picture, and the processor 1210 receives and distinguishes the control information, and if the control information is the first control information, it is used to control at least one of the second driving mechanism 320 and the third driving mechanism 350 to drive the rotation of the functional module 340, and if the control information is the second control information, it is used to control the camera 342 to rotate relative to the vibration-proof micro-platform 341, thereby avoiding shaking caused by the user's difficulty in maintaining a stationary shooting posture when taking a picture using the electronic device, and further realizing vibration proof correction, and ultimately improving the effect of the image taken by the imaging device.
