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.

Fig. 5 and 9 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 a schematic illustration of the split structure of fig. 6. Fig. 8 is a top view of fig. 6. Fig. 10 is a partially enlarged schematic view of fig. 9. Fig. 11 is a top view of fig. 10.

Referring to fig. 6 and 9, the functional element 200 further includes a tail frame 222 disposed in the receiving cavity 211. The tail frame 222 and the sliding seat 221 are telescopically and slidably connected to the base 210, and the sliding seat 221 slides on the base 210 to drive the functional device 230 to retract into the accommodating cavity 211 or at least partially extend out of the accommodating cavity 211. The tail frame 222 is fixed at the tail end of the sliding seat 221, that is, the end of the sliding seat 221 facing into the base 210.

The tail frame 222 includes a fixing plate 2224 disposed opposite to the tail end 2223 of the sliding seat. An inner cavity 2221 is formed between the tail end 2223 of the sliding seat and the fixed plate 2224. The fixing plate 2224 is opened with an opening 2222 communicating with the inner cavity 2221.

Referring to fig. 5 and fig. 6, the functional assembly 200 further includes a driving member 223, a transmission member 224 and an elastic member 225 disposed in the receiving cavity 211. The transmission member 224 includes a sliding plate 2241 disposed opposite to the rear end 2223 of the sliding seat. The slide plate 2241 is positioned within the interior cavity 2221. The slide plate 2241 is connected to the driving member 223. One end of the elastic member 225 abuts against the tail end 2223 of the sliding seat, and the other end of the elastic member 225 abuts against the sliding plate 2241. As can be understood, referring to fig. 6, the size of the sliding plate 2241 is larger than that of the opening 2222, so that the sliding plate 2241 does not move out of the tail frame 222 through the opening 2222 but abuts against the fixing plate 2224 and covers the opening 2222 during the movement toward the fixing plate 2224.

Referring to fig. 5, 6 and 8, when the driving member 223 drives the sliding plate 2241 to approach the sliding seat 221, the sliding plate 2241 presses the elastic member 225, and the elastic member 225 generates a pushing force on the sliding seat 221 under the pressing force of the sliding plate 2241 to push the sliding seat 221 to move, so that the functional device 230 protrudes out of the receiving cavity 211.

Referring to fig. 9 to 11, when the driving element 223 drives the sliding plate 2241 to move away from the sliding seat 221, the sliding plate 2241 moves to abut against the fixing plate 2224 of the tail frame 222 under the pulling force of the driving element 223, and pulls the tail frame 222 to move along with the sliding plate 2241, and the tail frame 222 drives the sliding seat 221 to move under the pulling force of the sliding plate 2241, so that the functional device 230 retracts into the accommodating cavity 211.

When the functional device 230 is not needed, the functional device 230 can be hidden inside the base 210, and when the functional device 230 is needed, the functional device 230 can be extended out of the base 210 for use, so that the use diversification of the electronic device is realized, and the user experience is improved.

Alternatively, referring to fig. 9 to 11, when the sliding seat 221 is in a stationary state, the sliding plate 2241 may abut against the inner wall of the tail frame 222, and may be spaced apart from the inner wall of the tail frame 222. That is, without the driving force of the driving member 223, the elastic member 225 may be in a pressed state such that the sliding plate 2241 abuts against the inner wall of the tail frame 222 by the urging force of the elastic member 225. In addition, the elastic member 225 may be in an uncompressed state, so that the sliding plate 2241 is not applied with the elastic member 225, and the sliding plate 2241 may be just in contact with the inner wall of the rear frame 222 and may be spaced apart from the inner wall of the rear frame 222.

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, the impact force is transmitted to the transmission member 224 through the sliding seat 221, and the transmission member 224 is most likely to be damaged under the impact force, so that the sliding seat 221 is separated from the base 210, thereby causing the functional components to be damaged, affecting the normal use of the electronic device, and reducing the user experience.

In a possible embodiment, referring to fig. 5 and 6, the extending direction of the elastic element 225 is along the moving direction of the sliding seat 221.

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

In this embodiment, by disposing the elastic member 225 between the transmission member 224 and the sliding seat 221, and the extending direction of the elastic member 225 is along the moving direction of the sliding seat 221, when the elastic member 225 receives a transient impact force transmitted through the sliding seat 221, the elastic member 225 is compressed under the impact force, so as to counteract a part of the impact force, so as to reduce the influence of an external impact force on the transmission member 224, thereby greatly reducing the risk of damage to the functional components. The connection between the sliding seat 221 and the transmission member 224 is elastic connection, rather than being embedded or engaged with each other. When the electronic device 100 falls or the sliding seat 221 is impacted, the elastic member 225 provides a buffer space for the sliding seat 221, so that the sliding seat 221 is prevented from being subjected to a rigid impact force, the elastic member 225 deforms to offset the impact force, and the functional device 230 is greatly protected, so that the reliability of the electronic device 100 is improved, and the service life of the electronic device is prolonged.

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 push rod 2242 passes through the opening 2222 and is connected between the slide plate 2241 and the driving member 223. The shape of opening 2222 with the cross-sectional shape looks adaptation of push rod 2242 to realize the guiding orientation of push rod 2242 avoids the push rod 2242 tumbles.

Further, referring to fig. 6, 8 to 10, the extending direction of the push rod 2242 is parallel to the moving direction of the sliding seat 221. The push rod 2242 moves towards the sliding seat 221, so as to push the sliding plate 2241 to press the elastic member 225, the elastic member 225 pushes the tail frame 222 to move, and the tail frame 222 pushes the sliding seat 221 away from the driving member 223, so as to push the functional device 230 out of the receiving cavity 211. The push rod 2242 moves away from the sliding seat 221, the push rod 2242 can pull the sliding plate 2241 to move toward the fixed plate 2224, the sliding plate 2241 abuts against the fixed plate 2224, the sliding plate 2241 pulls the tail frame 222 to move toward the driving element 223, and the tail frame 222 drives the sliding seat 221 to approach the driving element 223, so as to pull the functional device 230 back to the accommodating cavity 211.

The driving member 223 may be disposed at one side of the push rod 2242, and the sliding block 2243 is connected to the driving member 223. The sliding block 2243 moves towards or away from the sliding seat 221 under the driving action of the driving piece 223, and drives the push rod 2242 to move towards or away from the sliding seat 221.

In an alternative embodiment, referring to fig. 6, 8 to 10, the driving member 223 may include a motor 2231 and a screw 2232 connected to the motor 2231. The motor 2231 drives the lead screw 2232 to rotate. The lead screw 2232 may be disposed side by side with the push rod 2242, and the sliding block 2243 extends from the push rod 2242 to the lead screw 2232 and is slidably connected to the lead screw 2232. The lead screw 2232 drives the sliding block 2243 to move towards or away from the sliding seat 221 during the rotation process.

Optionally, a slide 2233 extending spirally is arranged on the lead screw 2232, and one end of the sliding block 2243 is arranged in the slide 2233. One end of the slide is matched with the shape of the slide 2233, and when 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 sliding block 2243 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 2243 is sleeved on the periphery of the lead screw 2232, and can provide guiding and positioning for the movement of the sliding plate 2241. The sliding block 2243 includes a positioning plane attached to the base 210. The sliding block 2243 is slidably connected to the base 210, and the positioning plane of the base 210 can prevent the sliding block 2243 from rotating relative to the lead screw 2232.

In an alternative embodiment, referring to fig. 5 and 9, 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.

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 sliding block 2243 to move towards the sliding seat 221 along the direction of movement of the sliding seat 221 during the rotation process, so that the transmission member 224 moves towards the sliding seat 221, the transmission member 224 compresses the elastic member 225 through the sliding plate 2241, and pushes the tail frame 222 and the sliding seat 221 to move towards the outside of the receiving cavity 211 through the elastic member 225, so that the functional device 230 extends out of the receiving cavity 211, and the user can use the functional device 230.

Referring to fig. 9 to 11, 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 sliding block 2243 to move away from the sliding seat 221 along the direction of movement of the sliding seat 221 during the rotation process, so as to make the transmission member 224 move away from the sliding seat 221, the transmission member 224 abuts against the fixing plate 2224 of the tail frame 222 through the sliding plate 2241, and pulls the tail frame 222 and the sliding seat 221 to move towards the receiving cavity 211, 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 formed on a bottom plate of the base 210. The extending direction of the first sliding chute 214 is parallel to the moving direction of the sliding seat 221. The sliding seat 221 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 sliding seat 221 to move. Meanwhile, the first sliding groove 214 may further limit the degree of freedom of the sliding seat 221, so that the sliding seat 221 can only move linearly along the first sliding groove 214.

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 tail frame 222 has a window opening toward the bottom plate 213. The sliding plate 2241 is slidably connected to the second slide slot 215 of the base 210 through the window. The second slide slot 215 is used to provide a direction for the movement of the slide plate 2241. Meanwhile, the second slide slot 215 may also limit the degree of freedom of the sliding plate 2241, so that the sliding plate 2241 can only move linearly along the second slide slot 215.

Optionally, the width of the first sliding groove 214 is larger than the width of the second sliding groove 215 in the direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the sliding seat 221.

In an alternative embodiment, referring to fig. 7, the second sliding groove 215 may be formed recessed from a bottom wall of the first sliding groove 214. For example, the second chute 215 opens at the bottom of the first chute 214. The depth of the second chute 215 is greater than the depth of the first chute 214 in a direction perpendicular to the bottom plate. The bottom of the sliding seat 221 is embedded in the first sliding groove 214, and the bottom of the sliding plate 2241 is embedded in the second sliding groove 215. This ensures that the sliding block 221 and the sliding plate 2241 move in the same direction and their movements do not interfere with each other.

Further, referring to fig. 7, the second sliding slot 215 has a first stopper portion 2151 and a second stopper portion 2152 at two ends thereof. The first stopper 2151 is away from the driving member 223. When the functional device 230 completely extends out of the receiving cavity 211, the sliding plate 2241 abuts against the first limiting portion 2151, and the first limiting portion 2151 can limit the movement of the transmission member 224 towards the sliding seat 221, that is, limit the movement of 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 accommodating cavity 211, the sliding plate 2241 abuts against the second limiting portion 2152. The second limiting portion 2152 can limit the movement of the transmission member 224 away from the sliding seat 221, that is, limit the movement of the sliding seat 221, so as to prevent the functional device 230 from excessively retracting into the receiving cavity 211.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 5 to 8, 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 matched with the shape of the through hole 217, so that the sliding seat 221 can penetrate through the through hole 217 and cannot shake in the through hole 217, thereby improving the stability of the sliding seat 221 sliding out of the accommodating cavity 211.

In other embodiments, the through hole 217 may be further disposed on the bottom plate 213. The shape and number of the through holes 217 are not limited in the present application.

In a possible implementation manner, referring to fig. 6, two sides of the sliding seat 221 are provided with a stop block 2211, and when the functional device 230 extends out of the receiving cavity 211, the stop blocks 2211 abut against the side plate 212.

In one possible embodiment, referring to fig. 5 to 7 and fig. 9, 10 and 12, the sliding seat 221 penetrates through the through hole 217. The sliding seat 221 further includes a baffle 2213. When the functional device 230 retracts into the receiving cavity 211, the baffle 2213 covers the through hole 217 to limit the sliding seat 221 from continuing to retract into the receiving cavity 211.
