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.

Referring to fig. 1 to 13, an embodiment of the present invention provides an electronic device, as shown in fig. 1, the electronic device includes: the housing 10, the functional component 20, the first magnet 30, and the second magnet 40; the first magnet 30 is fixed on the functional component 20, the second magnet 40 is fixed in the casing 10, and the same magnetic poles of the first magnet 30 and the second magnet 40 are oppositely arranged; the functional component 20 is extended out of the housing 10 or retracted into the housing 10 by the repulsive force between the first magnet 30 and the second magnet 40.

The type of the functional component 20 is not specifically limited herein, and for example: the functional component 20 may be a camera component or a data interface component, etc.

Wherein, the opposite arrangement of the same magnetic poles of the first magnet 30 and the second magnet 40 may include: the N-pole of the first magnet 30 is disposed opposite to the N-pole of the second magnet 40; alternatively, the S-pole of the first magnet 30 is disposed opposite to the S-pole of the second magnet 40.

In addition, the first magnet 30 and the second magnet 40 may be permanent magnets, so that it is ensured that a repulsive force always exists between the first magnet 30 and the second magnet 40.

In addition, the specific sizes of the first magnet 30 and the second magnet 40 are not limited herein, for example: the area of the first magnet 30 may be smaller than the area of the second magnet 40; alternatively, the area of the first magnet 30 may be greater than or equal to the area of the second magnet 40. Meanwhile, a structural schematic diagram of the second magnet 40 in the housing 10 can be seen in fig. 12.

It should be noted that, when the functional assembly 20 moves from being accommodated in the housing 10 to being extended out of the housing 10, it can be driven to a certain position by the driving assembly 50 or by a user, and then driven to a first target position from the above position under the action of the repulsive force between the first magnet 30 and the second magnet 40; similarly, the functional module 20 can be driven to another position by the driving module 50 or by a user when moving from protruding out of the housing 10 to being accommodated in the housing 10, and then driven to a second target position by the repulsive force between the first magnet 30 and the second magnet 40. The first target location is located outside the housing 10 and the second target location is located inside the housing 10.

In an embodiment of the present invention, an electronic device includes: the housing 10, the functional component 20, the first magnet 30, and the second magnet 40; the first magnet 30 is fixed on the functional component 20, the second magnet 40 is fixed in the casing 10, and the same magnetic poles of the first magnet 30 and the second magnet 40 are oppositely arranged; the functional component 20 is extended out of the housing 10 or retracted into the housing 10 by the repulsive force between the first magnet 30 and the second magnet 40. In this way, since the electronic device includes the first magnet 30 and the second magnet 40, and a repulsive force exists between the first magnet 30 and the second magnet 40, the functional assembly 20 can be driven to move to a position under the action of the repulsive force, and the driving effect on the functional assembly 20 is enhanced.

Optionally, referring to fig. 1, the electronic device further includes a driving assembly 50, the driving assembly 50 is disposed in the housing 10, and the driving assembly 50 is connected to the functional assembly 20;

when the functional component 20 is located inside the housing 10, the driving component 50 drives the functional component 20, and after the functional component 20 drives the first magnet 30 to move from the first position to the third position, the second magnet 40 drives the first magnet 30 to move from the third position to the second position, and drives the functional component 20 to move out of the housing 10 through the first magnet 30;

when the functional component 20 is located outside the housing 10, the driving component 50 drives the functional component 20, and after the functional component 20 drives the first magnet 30 to move from the second position to the fourth position, the second magnet 40 drives the first magnet 30 to move from the fourth position to the first position, and drives the functional component 20 to move into the housing through the first magnet 30;

wherein the third location is between the first location and the second location and the fourth location is between the third location and the first location.

Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram illustrating the functional assembly 20 being accommodated in the housing 10, that is, the first magnet 30 is located at the first position; referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic structural view illustrating the first magnet 30 in a third position, in which the functional assembly 20 is partially protruded out of the housing 10; referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 shows a structural diagram of the functional element 20 exposed outside the housing 10, that is, the first magnet 30 is located at the second position.

The working principle of the embodiment of the invention can be expressed as follows:

in the process that the functional component 20 moves from the position accommodated in the housing 10 to the position protruding out of the housing 10, the driving component 50 may be used to drive the first magnet 30 to move from the first position to the third position, and then the first magnet 30 is driven to move from the third position to the second position by virtue of the repulsive force between the first magnet 30 and the second magnet 40, so that the functional component 20 may be driven to protrude out of the housing 10 because the first magnet 30 is disposed on the functional component 20 (for example, the first magnet 30 is located at the third position (see fig. 5; and the first magnet 30 is located at the second position (see fig. 6)).

Similarly, in the process of moving the functional component 20 from the position protruding out of the housing 10 to the position accommodated in the housing 10, the driving component 50 may be used to drive the first magnet 30 to move from the second position to the fourth position, and then the first magnet 30 is driven to move from the fourth position to the first position by virtue of the repulsive force between the first magnet 30 and the second magnet 40 (for example, the first magnet 30 located at the fourth position can be referred to as fig. 7; the first magnet 30 located at the first position can be referred to as fig. 8); and the third position is between the first position and the second position and the fourth position is between the third position and the first position. It should be noted that F in fig. 5, 6, 7, and 8 represents a repulsive force, and an arrow represents a direction of the repulsive force.

Thus, since the repulsive force is always generated between the first magnet 30 and the second magnet 40, the first magnet 30 can be driven to a target position (e.g., the first position or the second position), and the functional assembly 20 is driven to move to a position. Meanwhile, the functional assembly 20 is driven to move by virtue of the repulsive force between the first magnet 30 and the second magnet 40, so that electric energy is not consumed, and the electric energy can be saved, thereby prolonging the standby time of the electronic device.

The type of the driving assembly 50 is not limited herein, and for example: the driving assembly 50 may include a motor (which may also be referred to as an electric motor) and a transmission rod, one end of which may be engaged with an output shaft of the motor through a gear, and the other end of which may also be engaged with the functional assembly 20 through a gear, such that the purpose of driving the functional assembly 20 to move may be achieved by the motor and the transmission rod.

In the embodiment of the present invention, since the driving assembly 50 and the repulsive force between the first magnet 30 and the second magnet 40 cooperate to drive the functional assembly 20 to move, the driving manner is more diversified and flexible, and meanwhile, the power consumption can be reduced, and the standby time of the electronic device can be prolonged.

In addition, the driving assembly 50 has a short operation time and low power consumption, and the repulsive force between the first and

second magnets

30 and 40 has high driving stability for the functional assembly 20 and a higher driving speed for the functional assembly 20 than the driving assembly 50.

Optionally, referring to fig. 1 and 9, the driving assembly 50 includes a motor 51, a screw 52 and a caliper 53, the motor 51 is rotatably connected to the screw 52, a first end of the caliper 53 is fixedly connected to the functional assembly 20, and a second end of the caliper 53 is sleeved on the screw 52 and can slide along the screw 52.

The type of the caliper 53 is not specifically limited herein, and for example: the caliper 53 may be semi-closed, but of course, may also be sleeve-shaped.

In the embodiment of the present invention, since the driving assembly 50 includes the motor 51, the screw 52 and the caliper 53, and the motor 51, the screw 52 and the caliper 53 are all common parts, the use cost can be reduced on the premise of ensuring the driving effect on the functional assembly 20.

As an alternative embodiment, one end of the screw 52 may be provided with a gear, the gear may be engaged with an output shaft of the motor 51, so that the screw 52 may rotate under the driving of the motor 51, the caliper 53 may be connected with an outer wall of the screw 52 by a thread, and the caliper 53 and the screw 52 may be fixed in an accommodating space, so that the screw 52 rotates to drive the caliper 53 to move in the accommodating space, and the moving direction is the length direction of the screw 52 (i.e. the axial direction of the screw 52, and an object (e.g. a limit post) blocks the caliper 53 if moving in other directions).

Of course, as another alternative embodiment, the caliper 53 may also be sleeved on a guide rod, and the length direction of the guide rod may be parallel to the length direction of the screw rod 52, so that when the screw rod 52 rotates, due to the limiting function of the guide rod, the caliper 53 can only move along the length direction of the screw rod 52.

Optionally, referring to fig. 1 and 9, the driving assembly 50 further includes a nut 54, the nut 54 is sleeved on the screw 52, the nut 54 is in threaded connection with the screw 52, the caliper 53 is engaged with an outer wall of the nut 54, and the caliper 53 can slide along the outer wall of the nut 54.

In the embodiment of the invention, the caliper 53 is connected with the screw rod 52 through the nut 54, and the friction between the caliper 53 and the nut 54 is smaller than the friction between the caliper 53 and the screw rod 52 when the caliper 53 is directly sleeved on the screw rod 52, so that the service life of the caliper 53 is prolonged.

Optionally, the cross section of the nut 54 is square.

When the cross section of the nut 54 is square, and the caliper 53 is engaged with the outer wall of the nut 54, the nut 54 will not rotate along with the screw 52 and can only move along the length direction of the screw 52 when the screw 52 rotates, so as to drive the first magnet 30 to move between the first position and the second position. In this way, the structure of the driving assembly 50 can be simplified.

In addition, when the cross section of the nut 54 is square, the caliper 53 does not need to be provided with a guide rod, a spring guide rod and other parts, thereby simplifying the structure of the whole driving assembly 50, reducing the weight of the driving assembly 50, reducing the space occupied by the driving assembly 50, and further reducing the weight and the volume of the electronic device.

Alternatively, referring to fig. 10, the caliper 53 is in a semi-closed configuration.

Wherein the shape of the caliper 53 can be adapted to the shape of the nut 54. For example: when the nut 54 is arranged in a square shape, the caliper 53 can be arranged in a U shape; when the nut 54 is disposed in a triangular shape, the caliper 53 may be disposed in a V-shape.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the caliper 53 is half-closed, so that the caliper 53 can be easily removed from the nut 54, thereby increasing the speed of repairing or replacing the caliper 53.
