It is understood that in other embodiments, camera mounting assembly 200 may also include a light sensor, a flash, etc. disposed on mounting base 210 for assisting camera 220 in capturing images, or other functional devices (e.g., an iris recognition module, a face recognition module, a proximity sensor, an ambient light sensor, a microphone, a fingerprint module, etc.) independent of the capturing function of camera 220. The material of the mounting seat 210 may be, but is not limited to, metal, plastic, stainless steel, or the like.

As shown in fig. 5 and 6, the protection cover 300 is covered on the mounting driving mechanism assembly, and the protection cover 300 is disposed in the body 100 and connected to the body 100 to form a receiving cavity 3001. In one embodiment, the protective cover 300 is connected to the middle frame 101 to form a receiving cavity 3001. The receiving cavity 3001 can be directly connected to the outside, that is, after the protection cover 300 is mounted on the middle frame 101, the structure formed by the protection cover 300 and the middle frame 101 is an opening structure with one end directly connected to the outside. Of course, when the middle frame 101 includes the main body 101a and the side portion 101b, the protection cover 300 is disposed in the mounting groove and connected to the main body 101a and the side portion 101b to form the receiving cavity 3001, and the receiving cavity 3001 is communicated with the outside by extending to the outer surface of the middle frame 101, and may specifically be extended to the outer surface of the side portion 101 b. In other embodiments, the protective cover 300 may be connected to the rear cover 102 to form the receiving cavity 3001, and of course, the protective cover 300 may be connected to both the middle frame 101 and the rear cover 102 to form the receiving cavity 3001.

Referring to fig. 1 and fig. 2, the mounting base 210 can move from a first position (shown in fig. 1) to a second position (shown in fig. 2) in the accommodating cavity 3001 with the camera 220, when the mounting base 210 is at the first position, the mounting base 210 and the camera 220 are accommodated in the accommodating cavity 3001, and when the mounting base 210 is at the second position, the light incident surface of the camera 220 is located outside the accommodating cavity 3001, that is, the light incident surface of the camera 220 is exposed out of the body 100. Like this, when needs utilize camera 220 to shoot, mount 210 carries camera 220 and moves outside accepting the chamber 3001 to shoot, after finishing shooting, mount 210 carries camera 220 and moves to accepting the chamber 3001 in, thereby can eliminate camera 220 and occupy the space of display screen 500 place side, increase the coverage of display screen 500 at front surface 110, improve the screen of display screen 500 and account for the ratio. In addition, the protective cover 300 covers the mounting base 210, when the mounting base 210 is located at the first position, the mounting base 210 is accommodated in the accommodating cavity 3001, and the protective cover 300 can protect the mounting base 210, so that the mobile terminal 10 can be prevented from deforming due to external impact and affecting the normal movement of the mounting base 210. In an embodiment, when the mounting seat 210 is in the first position, the surface 211 of the mounting seat 210 exposed in the receiving cavity 3001 is flush with the outer surface of the body 100, specifically flush with the first side surface 131. In this way, when the camera 320 is not needed for shooting, the structural integrity of the mobile terminal 10 can be ensured, and the beauty of the mobile terminal 10 can be increased.

In an embodiment, the mounting seat 210 is disposed in the accommodating cavity 3001 and can rotate relative to the body 100, and the mounting seat 210 can rotate to the outside of the accommodating cavity 3001 with the camera 220, so as to implement a shooting function of the camera 220. In one embodiment, the rotation axis of the mounting base 210 is perpendicular to a reference plane, which is a plane where the planar area of the display screen 500 is located, and may also be understood as a plane perpendicular to the thickness direction of the mobile terminal 10 (i.e., a plane perpendicular to the Y-axis shown in fig. 1, such as an XZ plane). In other embodiments, the rotation axis of the mount 210 passes through the center of a reference line, the reference line is a connection line of the maximum width of the orthographic projection of the mount 210 on a reference plane, and the reference plane is a plane perpendicular to the optical axis of the camera 220, that is, the rotation axis of the mount 210 is parallel to the optical axis of the camera 220. For convenience of description, the respective embodiments are explained below with reference to a reference plane. In one embodiment, the axis of rotation of the mount 210 passes through the center of a circle circumscribing the orthographic projection of the mount 210 on the reference plane. In other embodiments, the axis of rotation of mount 210 passes through the center of a reference line, which is a line connecting the maximum widths of the orthographic projections of mount 210 on the reference plane. For example, when the orthographic projection of the mount 210 on the reference plane includes a region shaped as a reflex arch, the connecting line of the maximum width is the diameter of a circle circumscribing the reflex arch region. In one embodiment, the orthographic projection of the mounting seat 210 on the reference plane includes an area in the shape of a major arc arch, and the center of a circle circumscribing the orthographic projection of the accommodating cavity 3001 on the reference plane coincides with the center of a circle circumscribing the orthographic projection of the mounting seat 210 on the reference plane. Thus, the space for accommodating the cavity 3001 can be utilized to the maximum extent, and the structure is more compact.

The image capturing surface (i.e., the light incident surface) of the camera 220 faces the front surface 110, i.e., the side where the display screen 500 is located, and is used as a front camera. In an embodiment, the light incident surface of the camera 220 may also be away from the side where the display screen 500 is located, and used as a rear camera. Certainly, the mount 210 can also be provided with two cameras 220 simultaneously, the image capturing surfaces of the two cameras 220 face the side where the display screen 500 is located and the side where the display screen 500 is located away from the side where the display screen 500 is located respectively, that is, the two cameras are used as a front camera and a rear camera, at this time, when shooting is not needed, the front camera and the rear camera of the mobile terminal 10 can be hidden in the accommodating cavity 3001, when shooting is needed to be performed by using the front camera or the rear camera, the mount 210 rotates to the second position, and the light incident surfaces of the two cameras 220 are respectively exposed on the side where the display screen 500 is located and on the side where the display screen 500 is located.

In an embodiment, the functional devices such as the camera 220 may implement wireless data transmission with the motherboard of the mobile terminal 10 through a chip disposed on the mounting base 210, or implement data transmission with the motherboard of the mobile terminal 10 through a flexible circuit board or a spring plate. In one embodiment, the body 100 includes a first uhf communication chip (not shown), the mounting assembly 200 includes a second uhf communication chip (not shown) disposed on the mounting block 210, the camera 220 is capable of being communicatively coupled to the second uhf communication chip, and the second hf communication chip is paired with the first uhf communication chip when the mounting block 210 is in the second position to enable the first uhf communication chip to be communicatively coupled to the second uhf communication chip.

In one embodiment, the first and second extreme high frequency communication chips are both extreme high frequency communication chips. The extremely high frequency communication chip is an IC (Integrated Circuit) chip in which an EHF (extremely high frequency) antenna is packaged, and when the two extremely high frequency communication chips are close enough, pairing can be completed to perform wireless communication. An example of an extremely high frequency communication chip is an EHF common link chip. The terms "common link chip," "common link chip package," and "EHF comm-link chip package" are used to refer to an EHF antenna embedded in an IC package. Examples of the chip for very high frequency communication can refer to the information described in the U.S. patent application publication nos. 2012/0263244 and 2012/0307932, and also refer to the information disclosed in chinese patent publications CN103563166A and CN 104145380A.

An example of an extremely high frequency communication chip can be found in the chinese granted patent publication No. CN 105264785B. The image collector of the camera equipped with the extremely high frequency communication chip (second extremely high frequency communication chip) can realize high-speed wireless transmission of data (for example, a transmission speed up to 6 GB/s) based on a high carrier frequency (for example, 60GHz) with the main board of the mobile terminal 10 equipped with the extremely high frequency communication chip (first extremely high frequency communication chip).

It can be understood that the high carrier frequency-based near field communication has the advantages of low power consumption, small volume, high transmission rate, non-contact transmission and the like, can also realize the function of a plug-and-play module, can greatly improve the signal integrity, support more flexible system realization, reduce the standby power consumption, increase the bandwidth amplitude and the safety of data transmission, and is compatible with the support of high-speed video signals and the like.

It will be appreciated that the high carrier frequency may be a carrier frequency that enables high speed wireless transmission of data. The high carrier frequency may be a specific carrier frequency, or may be a carrier frequency band, for example, 30GHz to 300GHz, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present application. Optionally, the high carrier frequency is 60 GHz.

The driver 400 is disposed in the body 100 and is used for driving the mounting base 210 to rotate relative to the body 100 in the accommodating cavity 3001. In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 5 and 6, the driver 400 includes a motor, the driver 400 is fixed to the body 100, and the driver 400 may be fixed to the body 100 by, for example, a screw connection (e.g., the driver 400 is fixed to a middle frame, a rear cover, or a front case of the mobile terminal 10). In other embodiments, driver 400 may also be secured to body 100 by riveting, welding, or adhesive. The output end of the driver 400 is connected to the mounting base 210, so that the mounting base 210 can rotate from the first position to the second position under the driving of the driver 400. It is understood that in other embodiments, the driver 400 is fixed to the mounting base 210, and the output shaft of the driver 400 is connected to the body 100, so that the mounting base 210 can be rotated from the first position to the second position under the driving of the driver 400. It should be noted that, after the mounting base 210 carries the camera 220 and rotates to the second position, the mounting base 210 may automatically retract into the accommodating cavity 3001 under the action of the driver 400, and the mounting base 210 may also retract manually.

In the mobile terminal 10, the driver 400 can drive the mounting base 210 to rotate relative to the body 100 with the camera 220, and rotate from the first position to the second position. When the mounting seat 210 is at the first position, the camera 220 is accommodated in the accommodating cavity 3001, and when the mounting seat 210 is at the second position, the light incident surface of the camera 220 is exposed out of the body 100, so that the camera 220 can be selectively hidden and exposed according to the shooting use requirement. Therefore, the camera 220 does not occupy the space on the side of the display screen 500 or the rear cover, and the screen occupation ratio or the integrity of the rear cover of the mobile terminal 10 is effectively improved. In addition, when the mounting base 210 is at the first position, the mounting base 210 is accommodated in the accommodating cavity 3001, and the protective cover 300 can protect the mounting base 210, so that the mobile terminal 10 can be prevented from deforming due to external impact and affecting the normal rotation of the mounting base.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 6, the protective cover 300 is hermetically connected to the middle frame 101, specifically, the main body portion 101a and the side portions 101b of the middle frame 101, so as to prevent external liquid and dust from entering the interior of the mobile terminal 10 through the receiving cavity 3001 and affecting the normal use of the mobile terminal 10. In an embodiment, referring to fig. 6 to 9, the mobile terminal 10 includes a sealing member for sealing a gap between the protective cover 300 and the body 100, wherein the sealing member includes at least one of foam, rubber, silicone, and sealant. In one embodiment, the sealing member includes a first sealing member 600, and the first sealing member 600 is used to seal a gap between the protective cover 300 and the middle frame 101. In an embodiment, the protection cover 300 includes a plate 310 and a cover 320 connected to the plate 310, the plate 310 and the cover 320 may be integrally formed, and the plate 310 and the cover 320 are connected to form a receiving space with an open end. The plate 310 is connected to the main body 101a and the side portion 101b, and the cover 320 is connected to the side portion 101b and is disposed toward the rear cover 102. The first sealing member 600 includes a first portion 610, and second portions 620 provided at both ends of the first portion 610, the first portion 610 connecting the plate body 310 with the main body portion 101a, the second portion 620 connecting the plate body 310 with the side edge portion 101b, and the first portion 610 and the second portion 620 may be integrally formed and separately produced and used. In one embodiment, the first seal 600 includes a third portion (not shown) disposed between the two second portions 620, and connecting the cover 320 and the side portion 101 b. In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, 5 and 8, the side portion 101b is formed with a lap groove 1012, the cover 320 is formed with a lap block 321 on a side facing the side portion 101b, the lap block 321 is overlapped with the lap groove 1012, and the third portion connects the lap block 321 and the side portion 101b, thereby achieving sealing.

In an embodiment, referring to fig. 5 and 6, the end of the driver 400 protruding from the mounting seat 210 forms a protruding structure 410, and the protruding structure 410 extends toward one side of the rear cover 102 and penetrates through the protection cover 300. The mobile terminal 10 includes a second sealing member 700, the second sealing member 700 is disposed between the protective cover 300 and the rear cover 102 around the protrusion structure 410 to seal a gap between the protective cover 300 and the rear cover 102, so as to prevent external dust and liquid from flowing into the mobile terminal 10 through the hole for the protrusion structure 410 to pass through. In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, the side portion 101b is formed with a notch 1011, and the protrusion 410 is partially inserted through the notch 1011. In this way, the notch 1011 can form an avoiding space for the protrusion 410 to penetrate through, so that the mounting base 210 can be closer to the edge of the mobile terminal 10, thereby expanding the installation space inside the mobile terminal 10.

An example of a possible implementation of the above-described drive control mounting assembly 200 is now described:

for example, a trigger key may be provided on the side 130 of the body 100. The trigger key connects to a motherboard within the mobile terminal 10. When a user presses or touches the trigger key, the trigger key sends a trigger signal to the processor on the motherboard, and the processor controls the driver, so that the mounting base 210 rotates out of the accommodating cavity 3001 or retracts into the accommodating cavity 3001 under the control of the driver. In an embodiment, when the user needs to use the camera 220 to shoot, the user presses the trigger key once, so that the mounting base 210 rotates to a specified position (for example, a second position) outside the accommodating cavity 3001 under the control of the driver, at this time, the driver stops working, and the user can use the camera 220 to perform operations such as video chat or self-shooting. When the user does not need to use the camera 220 to shoot, the user presses the trigger key again to make the mounting base 210 retract into the accommodating cavity 3001 under the control of the driver. Of course, the number of the trigger keys may be two, one trigger key is used to rotate the mounting base 210 to a specified position (for example, the second position) outside the receiving cavity 3001 under the control of the driver, and the other trigger key is used to retract the mounting base 210 to the receiving cavity 3001 under the control of the driver.

In other embodiments, the trigger key may also be a touch icon disposed on the display screen 500, and clicking the touch icon can send a related touch signal to a processor on the motherboard, and the processor receives the touch signal and executes a corresponding command according to the control signal, so that the driver 400 drives the mounting base 210 to rotate out of the accommodating cavity 3001 or retract into the accommodating cavity 3001.

For example, the trigger keys may be a start shooting icon and an end shooting icon provided in the display screen 500. When the icon starts to be shot by touch, the icon starts to be shot sends a first trigger signal to the processor of the motherboard, and the processor receives the first trigger signal and controls the driver 400 to drive the mounting seat 210 to rotate to a specified position (for example, a second position) outside the accommodating cavity 3001, so that the camera 220 can shoot under the shooting signal. When the shooting icon is touched to be finished, the shooting finishing icon sends a second trigger signal to the processor of the main board, and the processor receives the second trigger signal and controls the driver 400 to drive the mounting seat 210 to retreat into the accommodating cavity 3001.
