[0003] With the widespread popularity of electronic devices, the camera function has become one of the basic functions of electronic products. At present, the camera assembly is generally designed on the same side of the electronic product as the screen for the convenience of consumers. However, due to the size limitation of the camera itself, the camera assembly often reduces the screen-to-body ratio of the screen and causes uneven black borders on all sides, affecting the viewing experience. Therefore, in order to increase the screen-to-body ratio and achieve an equal border design, the camera assembly can be separated from the electronic device body, that is, the camera assembly can be disassembled when not in use. However, the disassembled camera assembly is easy to be lost due to poor storage.

[0042] To meet user needs, existing electronic devices with camera functions usually include a camera assembly, and the camera assembly is generally designed on the same side of the electronic device as the screen. However, due to the size limitation of the camera assembly itself, the camera assembly often reduces the screen-to-body ratio of the screen and causes uneven black borders on all sides, affecting the viewing experience. Therefore, in order to increase the screen-to-body ratio and achieve an equal border design, the camera assembly can be designed to be detachably connected to the electronic device body. When the camera assembly is needed, the camera assembly can be installed on the electronic device body, and when it is not needed, the camera assembly can be removed. However, the electronic devices of the related art do not have a storage device for storing the removed camera assembly, making the removed camera assembly easy to lose due to poor storage.

[0043] The present invention provides an electronic device, which may be a mobile phone, laptop computer, tablet computer, smart home device, or other electronic device with a detachable camera assembly. FIG1 exemplarily shows a structural diagram of the electronic device provided in the present invention, taking a laptop computer as an example for illustration.

[0044] As shown in Figure 1, the electronic device may include a device body 300. In the laptop computer shown in Figure 1, the device body 300 may specifically include a first body 301 and a second body 302. The first body 301 is provided with a screen module 303, and the second body 302 is provided with a keyboard assembly 304. The first body 301 and the second body 302 are connected by a rotating shaft, which can realize the opening and closing function of the first body 301 and the second body 302.

[0045] Referring to Figure 2, Figure 2 is a partial structural diagram of an electronic device provided in an embodiment of the present application. The electronic device provided in an embodiment of the present application further includes a camera assembly 200 and a storage device 100. The camera assembly 200 is detachably mounted on the device body 300, so that when the camera assembly 200 is needed, the camera assembly 200 can be mounted on the device body 300, and when the camera assembly 200 is not needed, the camera assembly 200 can be removed. For example, when the electronic device is a laptop computer as shown in Figure 1, the camera assembly 200 can be detachably connected to the first body 301.

[0046] The storage device 100 is mounted on the device body 300 and is used to store the disassembled camera assembly 200, preventing the disassembled camera assembly 200 from being lost due to improper storage. For example, when the electronic device is a laptop computer as shown in Figure 1, the storage device 100 can be located on the second body 302, specifically on the side of the second body 302. In other embodiments, the storage device 100 can also be located at other locations on the first body 301 or the second body 302 where there is space for installation.

[0047] In some embodiments, a mounting slot is provided on the side of the device body 300, and the storage device 100 can be fixedly installed in the mounting slot of the device body 300 by bonding, snapping, or threading. When the electronic device is a laptop computer as shown in FIG1 , the mounting slot can be provided on the side wall of the second body 302. The interior of the second body 302 has a space for arranging various components. The mounting slot can communicate with the space inside the second body 302. A mounting space for the storage device 100 can be reserved near the mounting slot in the second body 302. The portion of the storage device 100 for receiving the camera assembly 200 can be aligned with the mounting slot or partially embedded in the mounting slot. This enables the electronic device to store the camera assembly, making it easy to use and operate. At the same time, the storage device 100 designed in this way can be integrated into the interior of the electronic device, improving the integration level and allowing the camera assembly 200 to be stored inside the electronic device for easy portability and management.

[0048] Referring to Figure 3, Figure 3 is a partial structural diagram of the initial state of the electronic device storing the camera assembly provided by an embodiment of the present application. When the camera assembly 200 is not needed, the camera assembly 200 can be disassembled from the device body, and the disassembled portion of the camera assembly 200 can be inserted into the storage device 100 for initial positioning. Figure 4 is a partial structural diagram of the electronic device after storing the camera assembly provided by an embodiment of the present application. Referring to Figure 4, after the camera assembly 200 and the storage device 100 are initially positioned, the camera assembly 200 is pushed into the storage device 100 for storage to prevent the camera assembly from being lost due to improper storage. When the camera assembly 200 needs to be used, the camera assembly 200 can be taken out of the storage device and assembled on the device body 300 to facilitate the use of the camera assembly 200.

[0049] Referring to Figures 5 and 6, Figure 5 is a three-dimensional view of the storage device provided in an embodiment of the present application, and Figure 6 is a three-dimensional view of the storage device provided in an embodiment of the present application from another perspective. The storage device 100 includes a base 1, a slider 2 and a locking member 3, wherein the base 1 can be installed in the device body 300. For example, the base 1 can be installed in the device body 300 by means of connectors such as screws and rivets, or can also be fixed to the device body 300 by gluing, so as to ensure that the storage device 100 as a whole is reliably connected and fixed to the device body 300. The slider 2 is movably connected to the base 1. In one embodiment, the storage device 100 also includes a guide rod 5, which is provided on the base 1. The slider 2 is sleeved on the guide rod 5 so that the slider 2 can move along the guide rod 5 between the first position and the second position. In this embodiment, the slider 2 can slide on the base 1 by the force applied by the camera assembly 200 to achieve switching between the first position and the second position.

[0050] For example, Figure 7 is a partial structural stereoscopic diagram of the initial state of the storage device storing the camera assembly provided in an embodiment of the present application. Referring to Figure 7, when the camera assembly 200 and the storage device 100 begin to align or no force is applied to the slider 2 in the storage device 100, the slider 2 is in the first position shown in Figure 7.

[0051] For example, FIG8 is a perspective view of a portion of the structure of a storage device provided by an embodiment of the present application, in which a camera assembly is stored. Referring to FIG8 , when the camera assembly 200 is pushed into the interior of the device body 300, the camera assembly 200 pushes the slider 2 to move synchronously. When the camera assembly 200 is completely stored, the slider is in the second position shown in FIG8 . When the slider 2 is in the second position, a receiving portion for storing the camera assembly 200 is formed between the slider 2 and the base 1 , so that the disassembled camera assembly 200 can be stored in the receiving portion, preventing the disassembled camera assembly 200 from being lost due to improper storage. In one embodiment, FIG9 is another perspective view of the storage device provided by an embodiment of the present application. Referring to FIG9 , the base 1 is provided with a storage entrance 111 , through which the camera assembly 200 can be installed and stored in the storage device 100 . When the slider 2 is in the second position, the aforementioned receiving portion is formed between the slider 2 and the storage entrance 111 . The size and shape of the storage entrance 111 are set to correspond to the size and shape of the cross section of the camera assembly 200 , so that the camera assembly 200 can be limited by the storage entrance 111 for easy storage.

[0052] 8 , both ends of the locking member 3 are movably connected to the base 1 and the slider 2 , respectively, for locking the slider 2 when the slider 2 is in the second position, wherein the locking member 3 may be a rocker made of spring steel.

[0053] Referring to Figure 10 , Figure 10 is a perspective exploded view of a storage device provided in an embodiment of the present application. In one embodiment, the locking member 3 includes a first end 31 and a second end 32, and the slider 2 includes a locking portion 24. Referring to Figure 11 , Figure 11 is a perspective view of the slider in Figure 10 . The locking portion 24 is provided with a locking position 241, a first limiting position 242, a second limiting position 243, a first travel slot 244, a second travel slot 245, a third travel slot 246, a fourth travel slot 247, a first step 240a, a second step 240b, a third step 240c, and a fourth step 240d. The first step 240a is located at the intersection of the first stroke slide 244 and the second stroke slide 245, the second step 240b is located at the intersection of the second stroke slide 245 and the third stroke slide 246, the third step 240c is located at the intersection of the third stroke slide 246 and the fourth stroke slide 247, and the fourth step 240d is located at the intersection of the fourth stroke slide 247 and the first stroke slide 244. The first limiting position 242 is located at the end of the first stroke slide 244, the second limiting position 243 is located at the end of the second stroke slide 245, the locking position 241 is located on the side wall of the third stroke slide 246, and the bottom walls of the first stroke slide 244 and the fourth stroke slide 247 are inclined.

[0054] Among them, the end of the first stroke slide 244 close to the first step 240a is higher than the second stroke slide 245, the third stroke slide 246 is lower than the second stroke slide 245, and the third stroke slide 246 is higher than the end of the fourth stroke slide 247 close to the third step 240c, and the end of the fourth stroke slide 247 close to the fourth step 240d is higher than the end of the first stroke slide 244 close to the fourth step 240d.

[0055] When the slider 2 moves from the second position to the first position, the second end 32 of the locking member 3 moves from the locking position 241 along the third travel groove 246 and the third step 240c to the fourth travel groove 247, and then moves along the fourth travel groove 247 to the first limiting position 242. When the slider 2 moves from the first position to the second position, the second end 32 of the locking member 3 moves from the first limiting position 242 along the first travel groove 244, the second travel groove 245, the second step 240b, and the third travel groove 246 to the locking position 241. During this process, the first end 31 of the locking member 3 can rotate relative to the base 1 to accommodate the sliding of the second end 32 relative to the various grooves. In this embodiment, the bottom walls of the first stroke groove 244 and the fourth stroke groove 247 are inclined, thereby facilitating the formation of a first step 240a between the first stroke groove 244 and the second stroke groove 245, and a fourth step 240d between the fourth stroke groove 247 and the first stroke groove 245. The first step 240a and the fourth step 240d can be used to limit the second end 32 of the locking member 3 to prevent the second end 32 of the locking member 3 from reversing, and the second step 240b and the third step 240c have a guiding effect on the second end 32 of the locking member 3.

[0056] In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 10 , as described above, the storage device 100 includes a guide rod 5 along which the slider 2 can slide. The storage device 100 also includes an elastic member 6, which is sleeved on the guide rod 5. One end of the elastic member 6 is connected to the slider 2, and the other end of the elastic member 6 is connected to the base 1. In this embodiment, when the camera assembly 200 is stored, the slider 2 can move along the guide rod 5 from a first position to a second position, compressing the elastic member 6. The locking member 3 can cooperate with the locking portion 24 to lock the slider 2, maintaining the slider 2 in the second position, that is, stabilizing the second end 32 of the locking member 3 in the locked position 241. When the camera assembly 200 is removed from the storage device 100, the locking member 3 can cooperate with the locking portion 24 to unlock the slider 2, allowing the slider 2 to move along the guide rod 5 from the second position to the first position under the elastic force of the elastic member 6, stabilizing the second end 32 of the locking member 3 in the first limiting position 242. The elastic member 6 can be a compression spring.

[0057] There may be multiple guide rods 5 and multiple elastic members 6 . In this embodiment, two guide rods 5 and two elastic members 6 are provided as an example for description.

[0058] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 10 , the slider 2 further includes a main body 21, a first connecting portion 22, and a second connecting portion 23.

[0064] Referring to Figures 13 and 14, Figure 13 is a stereoscopic view of a camera assembly provided in an embodiment of the present application, and Figure 14 is a cross-sectional view of a camera assembly provided in an embodiment of the present application. The camera assembly 200 includes a housing 201, a camera 202, a lens 203, a module motherboard 204, an NFC (near field communication technology, English full name: Near Field Communication) tag 205, a flexible circuit board (English full name: Flexible Printed Circuit, abbreviated as: FPC) 206, a spring pin 207 and a first magnetic member 208. The housing 201 is provided with a receiving cavity 201a and a through hole 201b, and the lens 203 is provided in the housing 201 and is located at the through hole 201b. The camera 202 is disposed within the housing cavity 201a of the housing 201 and faces the through-hole 201b. The module mainboard 204 is disposed within the housing cavity 201a of the housing 201 and connected to the camera 202. The NFC tag 205 is disposed within the housing cavity 201a of the housing 201 and is located on the side of the module mainboard 204 facing away from the camera 202. The flexible circuit board 206 is disposed within the housing 201 and connected to the module mainboard 204. A plurality of spring pins 207 are provided, arranged in a row at one end of the housing 201. Two first magnetic members 208 are provided, and the two first magnetic members 208 and the plurality of spring pins 207 are disposed at the same end of the housing 201, with the two first magnetic members 208 located at either end of the row of spring pins 207.

[0065] In order to more stably accommodate the camera assembly 200, the storage device 100 also includes a second magnetic component 4 (refer to Figure 9). The second magnetic component 4 is arranged on the main body 21 and is located at both ends of the avoidance groove 211, and the position of the second magnetic component 4 is corresponding to the position of the first magnetic component 208. The magnetism of the second magnetic component 4 is opposite to that of the first magnetic component 208, so that the second magnetic component 4 can cooperate with the first magnetic component 208 of the camera assembly 200 to be adsorbed and fixed, thereby realizing pre-fixation of the camera assembly when storing the camera assembly 200.

[0066] In this embodiment, the second magnetic component 4 and the first magnetic component 208 are both magnets. In other embodiments, the first magnetic component can also be a magnet, the second magnetic component can also be an iron block, or the first magnetic component can also be an iron block, the second magnetic component can also be a magnet, as long as the magnetic fixation of the first magnetic component and the second magnetic component can be achieved.

[0067] As shown in FIG7 , in the initial state of storing the camera assembly 200, the disassembled camera assembly 200 is inserted into the storage entrance 111 of the base 1, so that the camera assembly 200 abuts the slider 2. The second magnetic member 4 and the first magnetic member 208 have opposite magnetic properties to achieve adsorption and fixation. As shown in FIG8 , during the process of storing the camera assembly 200, the camera assembly 200 is pushed into the storage entrance 111 of the storage device 100. The slider 2 is forced to move along the guide rod 5 away from the storage entrance 111, compressing the elastic member 6. At the same time, the second end 32 of the locking member 3 moves from the first limiting position 242 along the first travel slot 244 due to its own elasticity, falls through the first step 240a into the second travel slot 245, and moves along the second travel slot 245 to the second limiting position 243. At this time, the second end 32 of the locking member 3 contacts the second limiting position 243 and the camera assembly 200 cannot be pushed further. After releasing the force applied to camera assembly 200, the second end 32 of locking member 3 moves along second step 240b under the rebound force of elastic member 6, eventually falling into locking position 241 and locking, completing the storage action. During the process of releasing the storage state, while camera assembly 200 is in the storage state, pressing the camera assembly 200 again to push it further into the storage device 100. Under the force, slider 2 moves along guide rod 5 away from storage entrance 111, compressing elastic member 6. The second end 32 of locking member 3, relying on its own elasticity, moves until it contacts the inner wall of third travel slot 246 and stops, preventing further advancement of camera assembly 200. After releasing the force applied to the camera assembly 200, under the action of the rebound force of the elastic member 6, the second end 32 of the locking member 3 moves along the third step 240c to the fourth stroke slide groove 247, and moves along the fourth stroke slide groove 247, falls into the first stroke slide groove 244 through the fourth step 240d, until it moves to the first limit position 242, completing the release of the storage movement.

[0068] In this embodiment, the locking and unlocking functions of the slider 2 and the locking member 3 are coordinated to realize the storage and removal of the camera assembly. The storage and removal method is simple and convenient, the operation is fast, and time is saved.
