Fig. 1 and fig. 2 are schematic structural diagrams of an electronic device 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application in different states. Fig. 3 is a schematic view of the structure of fig. 1 from another perspective. Fig. 4 is an exploded schematic view of the electronic device 100 provided in fig. 1. Referring to fig. 1 to fig. 4, the electronic device 100 may be a mobile phone, and may also be any device having a functional component 200, for example: intelligent devices such as televisions, tablet computers, cameras, personal computers, notebook computers, vehicle-mounted devices, wearable devices, and the like.

Referring to fig. 1 to fig. 4, the functional element 200 is applied to the electronic device 100. The functional assembly 200 includes a base 210, a sliding seat 221, and a functional device 230. The base 210 has a receiving cavity 211. The functional device 230 is disposed on the sliding seat 221. The sliding seat 221 is slidably connected to the base 210 to extend and retract the functional device 230 into the receiving cavity 211.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the sliding seat 221 is used for accommodating at least one functional device 230. The sliding seat 221 may be provided therein with a plurality of functional devices 230, 230 ', wherein the plurality of functional devices 230, 230' may be the same or different, and the functional device 230 may include one or more of a camera module, an earpiece module, a fingerprint module, an LED flash, a photosensor, a receiver, a microphone, and the like. The functional device 230' may include one or more of a camera module, an earpiece module, a fingerprint module, an LED flash, a photosensor, a receiver, a microphone, and the like. For example, the sliding seat 221 may be provided with a set of dual camera modules, a set of camera module and flash module, a set of camera module, flash module and receiver module, and so on. When the sliding seat 221 slides on the base 210, the functional device 230, 230' at least partially extends or retracts into the receiving cavity 211 along with the sliding of the sliding seat 221.

Referring to fig. 1 to 4, the electronic device 100 further includes a display screen 240, and the display screen 240 covers the base 210. The display screen 240 is stacked with the receiving cavity 211. The display screen 240 includes a display area 241 to implement the display function of the electronic device 100. When the functional device 230 is retracted into the receiving cavity 211, the display area 241 partially or completely covers the functional device 230. Since the functional device 230 does not need to occupy the position of the display area 241, the display area 241 may have as large an area as possible, thereby increasing the screen occupation ratio of the display screen 240 and realizing that the display area 241 occupies the entire display screen 240. In addition, the display screen 240 and the functional device 230 are stacked, so that the processing such as hollowing or punching of the display screen 240 can be reduced, and the processing procedures of the display screen 240 are reduced, thereby improving the screen occupation ratio of the electronic device 100, facilitating the operation and improving the user experience.

In some possible embodiments, referring to fig. 3 and 4, the base 210 includes a bottom plate 213 and a side plate 212 extending along a circumference of the bottom plate 213. The display screen 240 faces the bottom plate 213, and the display screen 240 and the base 210 form an accommodating space for accommodating the battery 243 and the main board 244.

In other embodiments, the electronic device 100 may include a plurality of display screens, and may further include another display screen opposite to the display screen 240, in addition to the display screen 240 shown in fig. 3 and 4, so as to form a double-sided screen structure. That is, the bottom plate 213 and the side plate 212 may be covered with a display screen, and the electronic device 100 may be a double-sided display screen, a full-sided display screen, a flexible display screen, a foldable display screen, or the like.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 3 and 4, the side plate 212 has a through hole 217 communicating with the receiving cavity 211. The sliding seat 221 slides in the receiving cavity 211 through the through hole 217, so as to drive the functional device 230 to at least partially extend out of or retract into the receiving cavity 211.

In this embodiment, the shape of the sliding seat 221 is adapted to the shape of the through hole 217, so that the sliding seat 221 can penetrate through the through hole 217 and cannot swing in the through hole 217, thereby improving the stability of the sliding seat 221 sliding out of the accommodating cavity 211. The number of the sliding seat 221 and the through hole 217 is not limited in the present application.

Fig. 5 and fig. 11 are schematic structural views of a functional assembly 200 provided in an embodiment of the present application in two different states of extending out of the receiving cavity and retracting into the receiving cavity. Fig. 6 is a partially enlarged schematic view of fig. 5. Fig. 7 is an exploded view of the structure of fig. 6. Fig. 8 is a top view of fig. 6. Fig. 9 is another top view of fig. 6. Fig. 12 is a partially enlarged schematic view of fig. 11. Fig. 13 is a top view of fig. 11.

Referring to fig. 6, 7 and 11, the sliding seat 221 includes a start end 2211 and a tail end 2212 opposite to each other. The tail end 2212 is accommodated in the accommodating cavity 211, and the start end 2211 is far away from the accommodating cavity 211 relative to the tail end 2212. The functional assembly 200 further includes a sliding frame 222 and a driving member 223. The sliding frame 222 and the driving member 223 are disposed in the receiving cavity 211. The driving member 223 is fixed in the base 210 and is located at an end of the sliding frame 222 away from the sliding seat 221. The sliding frame 222 is connected to the driving member 223 and slides on the base 210 under the action of the driving mechanism 223. The sliding frame 222 is close to the tail end 2212 of the sliding seat 221. The sliding frame 222 is slidably connected to the base 210. The sliding frame 222 is connected to the sliding seat 221, and the sliding frame 222 drives the sliding seat 221 to slide on the base under the action of the driving mechanism 223, so as to drive the functional device 230 to retract into the accommodating cavity 211 or at least partially extend out of the accommodating cavity 211. When the functional device 230 is not needed, the functional device 230 can be hidden inside the base 210; when the functional device 230 needs to be used, the functional device 230 can be extended out of the base 210 for use, so that the electronic device 100 is diversified in use, and the user experience is improved.

Referring to fig. 7, the sliding seat 221 may be a square frame. The sliding seat 221 includes a first side wall 2213 and a second side wall 2214 which are oppositely arranged, and a third side wall 2215 which connects the first side wall 2213 and the second side wall 2214. The first side wall 2213 may be oriented substantially perpendicular to the sliding direction of the sliding seat 221, and the third side wall 2215 may be oriented in the same direction as the sliding direction of the sliding seat 221.

Referring to fig. 7, the sliding frame 222 includes a first plate 2223 and a second plate 2224 that are oppositely disposed, and a third plate 2225 connected between the first plate 2223 and the second plate 2224. The first plate 2223, the second plate 2224, and the third plate 2225 include two parallel plate surfaces and a side surface connected between the two parallel plate surfaces. The first plate 2223 is opposite to the first side wall 2213, the second plate 2224 is opposite to the second side wall 2214, and the third plate 2225 is opposite to the third side wall 2215. The first plate 2223 has a plate surface facing in a direction substantially perpendicular to the sliding direction of the sliding base 221. The third plate 2225 is oriented in the same direction as the sliding direction of the sliding seat 221. An inner cavity 2221 and an opening 2222 communicating with the inner cavity 2221 are formed among the first plate 2223, the second plate 2224 and the third plate 2225. The third plate 2225 is opposite to the opening 2222. The rear end 2212 of the sliding seat 221 extends from the opening 2222 of the inner cavity 2221 into the inner cavity 2221, so that the rear end 2212 of the sliding seat 221 is located between the first plate 2223 and the second plate 2224.

Referring to fig. 6 to 8, the functional assembly 200 further includes an elastic member 225. The elastic member 225 includes a first elastic member 2251 and a second elastic member 2252. The first elastic member 2251 and the second elastic member 2252 are received in the inner cavity 2221 of the sliding frame 222. The first elastic member 2251 has one end fixed to the first side wall 2213 and the other end fixed to the first plate 2223. The second elastic member 2252 has one end fixed to the second side wall 2214 and the other end fixed to the second plate 2224. When the sliding seat 221 and the sliding frame 222 are at rest, the extension direction of the first elastic member 2251 is collinear with the extension direction of the second elastic member 2252. Alternatively, the first elastic member 2251 and the second elastic member 2252 may extend in a direction perpendicular to the sliding direction of the sliding seat 221. In the sliding direction perpendicular to the sliding seat 221, the force applied by the first elastic element 2251 to the sliding seat 221 is substantially the same as the force applied by the second elastic element 2252 to the sliding seat 221, so that the sliding seat 221 slides linearly as far as possible and slides out of the receiving cavity 211 smoothly.

In one possible embodiment, when the sliding seat 221 and the sliding frame 222 are stationary, the first elastic element 2251 and the second elastic element 2252 are in a stretched state. When the electronic device 100 is placed on its side (the display screen 240 of the electronic device 100 is perpendicular to the ground), the first elastic member 2251 and the second elastic member 2252 are located on the upper and lower sides of the sliding seat 221, and since the first elastic member 2251 and the second elastic member 2252 are in a stretched state, the sliding seat 221 is subjected to a pulling force of the first elastic member 2251, which can overcome the gravity of the sliding seat 221, so that the position of the sliding seat 221 is not unstable or the sliding direction of the sliding seat 221 is not deviated.

Referring to fig. 5, fig. 6 and fig. 8, when the driving element 223 drives the sliding frame 222 to approach the sliding seat 221, the sliding frame 222 pulls the elastic element 225, the elastic element 225 generates a pulling force on the sliding frame 222 under the pulling force of the sliding frame 222, and the sliding frame 222 drives the sliding seat 221 to move under the pulling force of the elastic element 225, so that the functional device 230 extends out of the receiving cavity 211.

Referring to fig. 11 to 13, when the driving member 223 drives the sliding frame 222 to move away from the sliding seat 221, the sliding frame 222 moves under the pulling force of the driving member 223 and pulls the sliding seat 221 to move together, so that the functional device 230 retracts into the receiving cavity 211.

When the functional device 230 moves out of the receiving cavity 211, if the electronic device 100 falls to the ground, the sliding seat 221 is subjected to an impact force along the sliding direction of the sliding seat 221, and the impact force may damage the sliding seat 221 and the electronic device 100, which may affect the normal use of the electronic device 100, so that the safety and reliability of the electronic device 100 are low.

In one possible embodiment, referring to fig. 8, a gap 2226 is formed between the third plate 2225 and the sliding seat 221. In the sliding direction of the sliding seat 221, the size of the gap 2226 may be 0.2 to 1 times the size of the sliding seat 221. When the sliding seat 221 is subjected to an external impact force, the sliding seat 221 may stretch the elastic member 225 and enter the gap 2226, so that the functional device 230 retracts into the receiving cavity 221, thereby preventing the functional device 230 from being damaged by the collision.

In this embodiment, referring to fig. 8, a sliding frame 222 is disposed in the base 210, the sliding frame 222 is disposed at the tail end 2211 of the sliding seat 221, and a gap 2226 is formed between a third plate 2225 of the sliding frame 222 and the sliding seat 221. Thus, when the sliding seat 221 is subjected to an impact force, the sliding seat 221 slides towards the base 210 under the impact force, the sliding seat 221 enters the gap 2226 in the sliding frame 222, and the gap 2226 provides a buffer space for the sliding seat 221, so that the sliding seat 221 does not collide with other devices in the base 210 when the sliding seat 221 is violently retracted into the base 210, thereby protecting the functional devices from being damaged and ensuring that the sliding seat 221 does not collide with other devices.

Meanwhile, referring to fig. 8, an elastic member 225 is disposed between the sliding frame 222 and the sliding seat 221. When the sliding seat 221 is subjected to an impact force, the sliding seat 221 slides toward the base 210 under the impact force. Since the sliding frame 222 is not powered to move, the sliding seat 221 will stretch the elastic member 225 to deform the elastic member 225 during the process of retracting the base 210. The elastic member 225 deforms to buffer a portion of the impact force, provide a retraction resistance to the sliding seat 221, and act as a brake, so as to reduce the influence of the external impact force, thereby greatly reducing the risk of damage to the functional assembly 200. The connection between the sliding seat 221 and the sliding frame 222 is elastic connection, but not connection of mutual embedding or mutual engagement. When the electronic device 100 falls or the sliding seat 221 is impacted, the elastic member 225 prevents the sliding seat 221 from being subjected to a rigid impact force, and the elastic member 225 deforms to offset the impact force, so that the functional device 230 is greatly protected, and the reliability and the service life of the electronic device 100 are increased.

Alternatively, the elastic member 225 may be a spring, elastic rubber, elastic plastic, elastic sheet, or the like.

In one possible embodiment, referring to fig. 9, in the sliding direction of the sliding seat 221, the dimension H1 of the gap 2226 is greater than or equal to the dimension H2 of the sliding seat 221.

In this embodiment, referring to fig. 9 and 10, when designing the size of the sliding frame 222, the distance between the third plate 2225 of the sliding frame 222 and the tail end 2212 of the sliding seat 221 is set to be greater than or equal to the size of the sliding seat 221. The gap 2226 provides an emergency accommodation space for the sliding seat 221, so that the sliding seat 221 can be completely retracted into the base 210 when the sliding seat 221 is subjected to an external impact force F, thereby reducing the damage of the functional device 230 caused by the hard collision between the sliding seat 221 and an external object.

In an alternative embodiment, referring to fig. 6 and 7, the sliding frame 222 includes a sliding block 2227. The slider 2227 may be fixed to a side of the first plate 2223 facing away from the second plate 2224. The slider 2227 may extend in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the sliding seat 221 moves. The slider 2227 is connected to the driver 223. The driving member 223 drives the sliding block 2227 to slide the sliding frame 222. The sliding frame 222 is close to or far from the sliding seat 221 under the driving action of the driving piece 223.

In an alternative embodiment, referring to fig. 6 and 7, the driving member 223 may include a motor 2231 and a lead screw 2232 connected to the motor 2231. The motor 2231 drives the lead screw 2232 to rotate. The slider 2227 is connected to the lead screw 2232. The lead screw 2232 drives the slider 2227 to move close to or away from the sliding seat 221 during the rotation process.

Optionally, referring to fig. 6 and 7, one end of the sliding block 2227 is sleeved on the screw 2232. A slide track 2233 extending spirally is arranged on the screw rod 2232, a through hole 2234 is arranged at one end of the slide block 2227, and the shape of the inner wall of the through hole 2234 is matched with the shape of the slide track 2233. In the process that the motor 2231 drives the lead screw 2232 to rotate, the slide 2233 also rotates along with the rotation of the lead screw 2232, and the slider 2227 moves linearly toward the sliding seat 221 or away from the sliding seat 221 along with the rotation of the slide 2233.

Further, the sliding block 2227 is sleeved on the periphery of the lead screw 2232, and can provide a guiding position for the movement of the sliding frame 222. The sliding block 2242 comprises a positioning plane attached to the base 210. The sliding block 2242 is slidably connected to the base 210, and the positioning plane of the base 2242 can prevent the sliding block 2227 from rotating relative to the lead screw 2232.

In an alternative embodiment, referring to fig. 5 and 11, the functional element 200 further includes a controller 250. The controller 250 is electrically connected to the motor 2231, and is configured to control the motor 2231 to drive the lead screw 2232 to rotate in the forward direction and in the reverse direction, so as to reciprocate the slider 2227.

Specifically, referring to fig. 5, fig. 6 and fig. 8, when the motor 2231 drives the lead screw 2232 to rotate around a first direction (clockwise or counterclockwise) under the action of the controller 250, the lead screw 2232 drives the slider 2227 to approach the sliding seat 221 along the moving direction of the sliding seat 221 during the rotation process, so that the sliding frame 222 approaches the sliding seat 221, and the sliding frame 222 pulls the sliding seat 221 to move towards the outside of the receiving cavity 211 through the elastic element 225, so that the functional device 230 extends out of the receiving cavity 211 for the user to use the functional device 230.

Referring to fig. 9 to 12, after the functional device 230 is used, the motor 2231 drives the lead screw 2232 to rotate around a second direction (counterclockwise or clockwise) under the action of the controller 250, the lead screw 2232 drives the slider 2227 to be away from the sliding seat 221 during the rotation process, so that the sliding frame 222 is away from the sliding seat 221, and the sliding frame 222 pulls the sliding seat 221 to move towards the receiving cavity 211 through the elastic member, so that the functional device 230 retracts into the receiving cavity 211, thereby preventing the functional device 230 from being damaged, and reducing dust and moisture from entering the functional device 230.

It is to be understood that the first direction may be a clockwise or counterclockwise direction, the first direction being opposite to the second direction.

In an alternative embodiment, referring to fig. 5 to 7, a first sliding groove 214 is disposed on a bottom plate 213 of the base 210. The extending direction of the first sliding groove 214 is perpendicular to the side plate 214. The sliding frame 222 is slidably connected to the first sliding groove 214 of the base 210. The first sliding groove 214 is used for providing a direction for the movement of the sliding frame 222. Meanwhile, the first sliding chute 214 can also limit the degree of freedom of the sliding frame 222, so that the sliding frame 222 can only move linearly along the first sliding chute 214. The first plate 2223 and the second plate 2224 contact two opposite inner walls of the first sliding groove 214, respectively, and slide along the two opposite inner walls.

Further, referring to fig. 7, two ends of the first sliding groove 214 have a first position-limiting portion 2141 and a second position-limiting portion 2142. The first position-limiting portion 2142 is close to the side plate 212. When the functional device 230 completely extends out of the receiving cavity 211, the sliding frame 222 abuts against the first limiting portion 2141, and the first limiting portion 2141 can limit the movement of the sliding frame 222 towards the sliding seat 221, that is, limit the moving distance of the sliding frame 222 close to the sliding seat 221, so as to prevent the functional device 230 from excessively extending out of the receiving cavity 211. When the functional device 230 retracts into the receiving cavity 211, the sliding frame 222 abuts against the second position-limiting portion 2142.

In a possible embodiment, the material of the baffle 2216 may be an elastic material, and when the sliding seat 221 is dropped, and the sliding seat 221 is subjected to an impact force, the baffle is made of an elastic material, so as to buffer a part of the impact force, thereby reducing the drop damage of the functional assembly 200.

In an alternative embodiment, referring to fig. 5 to 7, a second sliding groove 215 is further disposed on the bottom plate of the base 210. The second slide groove 215 extends in the same direction as the first slide groove 214. The second sliding groove 215 may be concavely formed from a bottom wall of the first sliding groove 214. The second sliding slot 215 extends from the inner cavity 2221 of the sliding frame 222 to the through hole 217. The sliding seat 221 is slidably connected to the second sliding groove 215. The second sliding groove 215 is used for providing a direction for the movement of the sliding seat 221. Meanwhile, the second sliding slot 215 may also limit the degree of freedom of the sliding seat 221, so that the sliding seat 221 can only move linearly along the second sliding slot 215. The bottom of the sliding frame 222 is embedded in the first sliding groove 214, and the bottom of the sliding seat 221 is embedded in the second sliding groove 215. This ensures that the sliding frame 222 and the sliding seat 221 move in the same direction and their movements do not affect each other.

In some possible embodiments, referring to fig. 14, the sliding seat 221 includes a receiving slot 226 for receiving the functional device 230 and a cover 2217 covering the receiving slot 226. The cover 2217 is provided with a signal penetrating portion 2218, and the signal penetrating portion 2218 is used for transmitting or receiving a signal through the functional device 230 when the functional device 230 extends out of the accommodating cavity 211.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 14, the functional device 230 may be a camera module. The signal penetration portion 2218 may be one or more of a light-transmissive lens, a light-transmissive hole, a perforated plate, and the like. The cover plate 233 protects the functional device 230 and provides a darkroom environment for the functional device 230, facilitating photographing of the functional device 230. The functional device 230 may be a plurality of functional devices, the signal penetration portion 2218 may be a plurality of signal penetration portions 2218, and the functional devices 230 may correspond to the signal penetration portions 2218 one to one.

Referring to fig. 15 in combination with fig. 1 to 14, the present application further provides a control method of an electronic device, and the control method of the electronic device is applied to the electronic device 100. The control method of the electronic device includes the following steps.

In step 101, the electronic device 100 receives an extension signal, the electronic device 100 controls the driving element 223 to drive the sliding frame 222 to approach to the start end 2211 of the sliding seat 221 according to the extension signal, and the sliding frame 222 drives the sliding seat 221 to slide through the first elastic element 2251 and the second elastic element 2252, so that the functional device 230 exits the receiving cavity 211.

Step 102, the electronic device 100 receives a contraction signal, the electronic device 100 controls the driving element 223 to drive the sliding frame 222 to move away from the start 2211 of the sliding seat 221 according to the contraction signal, and the sliding frame 222 drives the sliding seat 221 to slide through the first elastic element 2251 and the second elastic element 2252, so that the functional device 230 retracts into the receiving cavity 211.
