In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the specific embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings. It is to be understood that the described embodiments are merely exemplary of the invention, and not restrictive of the full scope of the invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
The technical solutions disclosed in the embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in fig. 1 to 5, an embodiment of the invention discloses an electronic device, which includes a housing 100, a camera module 200, and a driving mechanism 300.
The casing 100 is a mounting base for components included in the electronic device, and the casing 100 may be provided with a through hole 110, and the through hole 110 may be specifically provided on a frame of the casing 100.
the camera module 200 may specifically include a bracket 210, a first camera 220, and a second camera 230. The bracket 210 is hinged to the housing 100 by a rotation shaft 240 so that the bracket 210 can rotate relative to the housing 100. Specifically, the rotating shaft 240 may be fixed with the housing 100, and the bracket 210 may be rotatably connected with the rotating shaft 240, such that the bracket 210 may rotate around the rotating shaft 240; alternatively, the shaft 240 may be rotatably coupled to the housing 100, and the bracket 210 may be fixed to the shaft 240 such that the bracket 210 may rotate together with the shaft 240 with respect to the housing 100. In particular, the hinge 240 may be perpendicular to a display screen of the electronic device. In addition, the housing 100 may include a rear cover, and the rotation shaft 240 may be located between the bracket 210 and the rear cover, or between the bracket 210 and a display screen of the electronic device, and the specific mode may be flexibly selected according to the structure of the electronic device. The bracket 210 has a first surface and a second surface which are arranged in a back-to-back manner, the first camera 220 is arranged on the first surface, and the second camera 230 is arranged on the second surface, that is, the orientations of the first camera 220 and the second camera 230 are opposite, wherein the first camera 220 can be used for realizing front shooting, and the second camera 230 can be used for realizing rear shooting.
The driving mechanism 300 may be disposed in the housing 100, and is connected to the bracket 210, so that the driving mechanism 300 can drive the bracket 210 to rotate between the first position and the second position. At the first position, the first camera 220 is located outside the housing 100, and at this time, the first camera 220 may be in a working state, so as to implement a corresponding shooting action; at the second position, the second camera 230 is located outside the housing 100, and at this time, the second camera 230 may be in a working state, so as to implement a corresponding shooting action.
With the above structure, the first camera 220 and the second camera 230 may be located outside the casing 100 or retracted into the casing 100. Therefore, the camera module does not occupy the display area of the electronic equipment, and the screen occupation ratio of the electronic equipment is improved. In addition, the first camera 220 and the second camera 230 are arranged on the same support 210 at the same time, so that front shooting and rear shooting of the electronic equipment can be achieved at the same time, and compared with the case that two sets of relatively independent camera modules are arranged to achieve front shooting and rear shooting respectively, the support 210, the first camera 220 and the second camera 230 occupy smaller space, and are more beneficial to stacking of parts in the electronic equipment.
In a specific embodiment, in the first position, the first camera 220 is located outside the casing 100, and at this time, the second camera 230 may be located outside the casing 100 or inside the casing 100; in the second position, the second camera 230 is located outside the housing 100, and the first camera 220 may be located outside the housing 100 or inside the housing 100. Considering that a user usually only shoots in a single direction, that is, either front shooting or rear shooting is performed, if the first camera 220 and the second camera 230 are located outside the housing 100 at the same time, one of the cameras is in an idle state, which increases the rotation stroke of the bracket 210 and thus increases power consumption, and increases the risk of damage to the first camera 220 and the second camera 230 due to external collision, in this embodiment of the present invention, the second camera 230 is optionally located inside the housing 100 in the first position; in the second position, the first camera 220 is located within the housing 100. That is, at the first position, only the first camera 220 is in an operating state; in the second position, only the second camera 230 is in operation.
the arrangement positions of the first camera 220 and the second camera 230 on the bracket 210 can be flexibly selected, and in an alternative embodiment, in the axial direction of the rotating shaft 240, the projection of the first camera 220 and the projection of the second camera 230 are respectively located on two sides of the projection of the rotating shaft 240. For example, in the axial direction of the rotation shaft 240, the projection center of the first camera 220, the projection center of the second camera 230, and the projection center of the rotation shaft 240 are located on the same line. When the projection of first camera 220 and the projection of second camera 230 are located the both sides of the projection of pivot 240 respectively, first camera 220 and second camera 230 are all nearer with the distance between the perforation 110, the camera module during operation, just can drive first camera 220 with the rotation stroke that compares shortlyer after support 210 rotates along first direction and move outside casing 100, just can drive second camera 230 with the rotation stroke that compares shortlyer after support 210 rotates along the second direction and move outside casing 100, thereby reduce electronic equipment's consumption. It should be noted that, one of the first direction and the second direction may be clockwise, and the other may be counterclockwise.
In an alternative embodiment, the bracket 210 may be a plate-like member, the side of the bracket 210 includes a flat surface 211, the bracket 210 further has a third position relative to the housing 100, in which the first camera 220 and the second camera 230 are both located within the housing 100, and the flat surface 211 is aligned with the through hole 110. In other words, when the first camera 220 and the second camera 230 are both located in the casing 100, the entire bracket 210 is also substantially located in the casing 100, and meanwhile, the plane 211 of the bracket 210 and the through hole 110 can be in smooth transition in structure, so that the electronic device has more excellent appearance performance when the bracket 210 is in the third position, and meanwhile, the bracket 210 can be prevented from being knocked. In addition, the first camera 220 and the second camera 230 can be retracted into the housing 100, so that the electronic device disclosed in the embodiment of the present invention can adopt a single-sided display screen structure or a double-sided display screen structure, and the structural design of the electronic device is more flexible.
Further, the side surface of the bracket 210 further includes a circular arc surface 212, and both ends of the circular arc surface 212 are respectively connected to the plane 211. The arc surface 212 makes the structure of the bracket 210 more rounded, and when the bracket 210 is at least partially located outside the housing 100, the bracket 210 is not easy to scratch a user, thereby improving the user experience of the electronic device. Further, the circle center of the circle where the arc surface 212 is located coincides with the hinge point of the bracket 210 and the rotating shaft 240. After the hinge point of the bracket 210 and the rotating shaft 240 is determined, the relative position between the through hole 110 and the hinge point is also determined, and after the track of the arc surface 212 is arranged on the circumference with the hinge point as the center of circle, in the rotating process of the bracket 210, the distance between the arc surface 212 and the through hole 110 is basically kept unchanged, so that after the configuration, the gap between the bracket 210 and the through hole 110 can be set as small as possible, so that substances such as dust, liquid and the like in the external environment are not easy to enter the electronic device through the gap between the bracket 210 and the through hole 110, and the reliability of the electronic device is improved.
As mentioned above, the bracket 210 may further have a third position relative to the casing 100, in which the first camera 220 and the second camera 230 are both located in the casing 100, a line between the first camera 220 and the second camera 230 is perpendicular to an axis of the through hole 110, and the axis of the through hole 110 is parallel to a penetrating direction of the through hole 110. In other words, in the axial direction of the rotating shaft 240, a connection line between the projection center of the first camera 220 and the projection center of the second camera 230 is perpendicular to the axis of the through hole 110. After the arrangement, the distances between the first camera 220 and the second camera 230 and the through hole 110 are substantially equal, and the distances between the first camera 220 and the second camera 230 and the through hole 110 are smaller, so that the rotation stroke of the bracket 210 is further shortened, the power consumption of the electronic device is smaller, and meanwhile, the time for a user to wait for the first camera 220 and the second camera 230 to move in place can be shortened, and the user experience is improved. In addition, with the structure, the stroke of the bracket 210 driving the first camera 220 to move is substantially equal to the stroke of the bracket 210 driving the second camera 230 to move, so that the driving program of the bracket 210 can be simplified.
In the electronic device disclosed in each embodiment of the present invention, when the first camera 220 and the second camera 230 are exposed outside the housing 100, the first camera 220 and the second camera 230 can perform corresponding shooting operations, and the bracket 210 mainly drives the first camera 220 and the second camera 230 to move, so that the size of the bracket 210 can be set as small as possible, thereby reducing the space occupied by the camera module. In view of this, optionally, the first camera 220 may be disposed at an edge of the first surface, and the second camera 230 may be disposed at an edge of the second surface, so as to reduce the size of the bracket 210 as much as possible, so that the space occupied by the camera module is reduced, thereby facilitating the structural design of the electronic device.
The structure of the driving mechanism 300 can be designed flexibly, and in an alternative embodiment, in order to simplify the structure of the driving mechanism 300, the driving mechanism 300 can include a driving source 310 and a transmission mechanism, wherein the driving source 310 is connected to the rotating shaft 240 through the transmission mechanism and drives the bracket 210 to rotate through the rotating shaft 240. At this time, the rotating shaft 240 is rotatably connected to the housing 100, the bracket 210 is fixed to the rotating shaft 240, and the driving force output by the driving source 310 may be transmitted to the rotating shaft 240 through the transmission mechanism, so that the rotating shaft 240 rotates, and the rotating shaft 240 further drives the bracket 210 to rotate, thereby implementing driving of the bracket 210. The structure can transmit the acting force by using the rotating shaft 240, thereby simplifying the driving mode of the bracket 210 and achieving the purpose of simplifying the structure of the driving mechanism 300.
alternatively, the driving source 310 may be a driving motor, and of course, the driving source 310 may also be other components capable of outputting driving force, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.
in an alternative embodiment, the transmission mechanism may specifically include a first gear 320, a second gear 330, and a belt 340. The first gear 320 is connected to the driving source 310, and specifically, the first gear 320 may be provided on an output shaft of the driving source 310. The second gear 330 is engaged with the first gear 320, and specifically, the second gear 330 may be rotatably disposed on the housing 100. The driving belt 340 is simultaneously sleeved on the second gear 330 and the rotating shaft 240, so that the second gear 330 can drive the rotating shaft 240 to rotate through the driving belt 340. After the transmission mechanism is adopted, the driving mechanism 300 can transmit driving force in a gear transmission mode, and the transmission mode has the advantages of high transmission precision, high transmission efficiency, long service life and the like, so that the performance of the driving mechanism 300 is optimized. Meanwhile, the space occupied by the belt 340 is smaller, and even if the distance between the driving source 310 and the rotating shaft 240 is longer, the transmission between the driving source and the rotating shaft can be realized in a structure occupying a smaller space, so that the structure is more convenient for the structural design of the electronic device.
The electronic device disclosed by the embodiment of the invention can be a smart phone, a tablet computer, an electronic book reader or a wearable device. Of course, the electronic device may also be other devices, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto.
In the above embodiments of the present invention, the difference between the embodiments is mainly described, and different optimization features between the embodiments can be combined to form a better embodiment as long as they are not contradictory, and further description is omitted here in view of brevity of the text.
The above description is only an example of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the present invention. Various modifications and alterations to this invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
