The camera module is an important module in electronic equipment such as cell-phone, panel computer, learning machine, and the user not only can realize simple shooting function through the camera module, and the camera module is also more and more used in other scenes moreover. For example, in some scenes, when the electronic device is a learning machine, a user can shoot or scan a problem placed on a desktop through the camera module, so that the learning machine can acquire the problem through the camera module and answer the problem. However, the camera module of the existing learning machine is directly fixed on the equipment housing of the learning machine, and the light inlet shaft of the camera module is parallel to the thickness direction of the equipment housing, which leads to that the light inlet shaft of the camera module is parallel to the desktop when the learning machine is vertically erected on the desktop, so that the camera module cannot shoot the problem placed on the desktop. Based on such a scenario, embodiments of the present application provide an electronic device to solve the above problem.

The technical solution of the present application will be further described with reference to the following embodiments and accompanying drawings.

Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an electronic device (a camera module is located inside a first opening) provided in an embodiment of the present application, fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of a portion a of the electronic device in fig. 1 at another viewing angle (the camera module extends out of the first opening), and fig. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of the camera module and a moving mechanism. Referring to fig. 1, 2 and 3, the electronic device includes: the device comprises a device housing 1, a camera module 2 with a first camera 21 and a moving mechanism 3. Wherein, a first opening 11 is arranged on the equipment shell 1; the camera module 2 is positioned at the first opening 11, and the light inlet axis Z1 of the first camera 21 is not parallel to the thickness direction of the equipment shell 1; the moving mechanism 3 is arranged in the equipment shell 1, the moving mechanism 3 is provided with a moving part 31, the moving part 31 is connected with the camera module 2, and the moving part 31 is used for driving the camera module 2 to move between a first position and a second position along the thickness direction of the equipment shell 1; when the camera module 2 is located at the first position, the camera module 2 is located inside the first opening 11, so that the first camera 21 is accommodated in the first opening 11, and when the camera module 2 is located at the second position, at least part of the camera module 2 extends out of the first opening 11, so that the first camera 21 extends out of the first opening 11 and is exposed outside the equipment shell 1.

In the embodiment of the present application, under the driving action of the moving portion 31 of the moving mechanism 3, the camera module 2 can move between the first position and the second position along the thickness direction of the device housing 1, and when the camera module 2 is located at the first position, the camera module 2 is located inside the first opening 11, that is, the camera module 2 can be accommodated inside the first opening 11, so that the first camera 21 is accommodated inside the first opening 11, and at this time, it can be understood that the first camera 21 is in a non-shooting state. When the first camera 21 is in the non-shooting state, the first camera 21 is housed in the first opening 11, so that the electronic apparatus can be made high in integrity.

When the camera module 2 is located at the second position, at least a part of the camera module 2 extends out of the first opening 11, so that the first camera 21 extends out of the first opening 11 and is exposed outside the device housing 1. At this time, it can be understood that the first camera 21 is in the shooting state. Because the light inlet axis Z1 of first camera 21 is not parallel with the thickness direction of equipment housing 1, therefore, when electronic equipment is vertically stood on the desktop, and first camera 21 is in the shooting state, light inlet axis Z1 and the desktop of first camera 21 will not be parallel, in other words, an included angle will be produced between light inlet axis Z1 and the desktop of first camera 21, at this moment, only need guarantee when electronic equipment is vertically stood on the desktop, the lens of first camera 21 faces the direction of desktop, can make first camera 21 can shoot the object of waiting to shoot that is located on the desktop.

In addition, because removal portion 31 is used for driving camera module 2 and moves between the first position and the second position along the thickness direction of equipment casing 1, promptly, camera module 2 can be through the flexible removal back and forth along the thickness direction of equipment casing 1, realizes following effect: the shooting or scanning recognition of the object to be shot placed on the desktop under the stretching state (namely, the second position) is limited, and the camera module 2 can not move along the height direction or the width direction of the equipment shell 1 due to the limitation of the stretching moving direction, so that the situation that the whole height or width of the electronic equipment is changed is avoided, and the influence on the integrity and the size of the electronic equipment due to the camera module with the functions is also avoided.

The shape of the first opening 11 may be rectangular, circular, star-shaped, or oval, and the like, and only the camera module 2 needs to be accommodated therein, and the shape of the first opening 11 is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. It is understood that, in order to better accommodate the camera module 2 in the first opening 11, the shape of the cross section of the camera module 2 in the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction of the apparatus case 1 should be the same as the shape of the first opening 11, so that the camera module 2 can be made to match with the first opening 11, and the camera module 2 can be better accommodated in the first opening 11.

The first opening 11 may or may not penetrate the device case 1 in the thickness direction of the device case 1, and this embodiment of the present application is not particularly limited to this. Referring to fig. 1, the first opening 11 may or may not extend through the top of the apparatus housing 1 in the length direction of the apparatus housing 1, and this is not particularly limited in the embodiment of the present application.

In addition, the moving mechanism 3 may be disposed in the device housing 1 by a screw, or may be disposed in the device housing 1 by other manners, for example, may be disposed in the device housing 1 by a snap, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application. The moving part 31 may be connected to the camera module 2 by welding, or may be connected to the camera module 2 by other methods, for example, may be connected to the camera module 2 by screw connection or glue bonding, and this embodiment of the present application is not specifically limited to this. Moving mechanism 3 can be for electronic jar, cylinder, linear electric motor or other arbitrary telescopic machanism that can drive camera module 2 and remove between primary importance and second place along the thickness direction of equipment casing 1, and this application embodiment does not do the restriction to moving mechanism 3.

The electronic device may be an electronic device such as a learning machine, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, and the like, and the electronic device is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

That is, the light-entering axis Z1 of the first camera 21 is parallel to the outer surface of the apparatus casing 1 where the first opening 11 is located. When the light inlet axis Z1 of the first camera 21 is parallel to the outer surface of the first opening 11 of the device housing 1, it is assumed that the object to be shot on the desktop needs to be shot by vertically standing the electronic device on the desktop, so as to ensure that the lens of the first camera 21 faces the direction of the desktop when the electronic device is vertically standing on the desktop, and thus the light inlet axis Z1 of the first camera 21 forms an included angle with the desktop and the lens of the first camera 21 faces the direction of the desktop at the same time, so that the object to be shot on the desktop can be obviously shot by the first camera 21.

Certainly, the light incoming axis Z1 of the first camera 21 is not parallel to the thickness direction of the device housing 1, and there are other possible implementations, for example, in another possible implementation, a non-perpendicular included angle, such as 80 °, 60 °, or the like, is generated between the light incoming axis Z1 of the first camera 21 and the thickness direction of the device housing 1, so that an included angle may also be generated between the light incoming axis Z1 of the first camera 21 and the desktop, and when an included angle can be generated between the light incoming axis Z1 of the first camera 21 and the desktop, the object to be photographed on the desktop can be photographed by the first camera 21. That is, only an included angle can be generated between the light entering axis Z1 of the first camera 21 and the desktop, and the angle of the included angle between the light entering axis Z1 of the first camera 21 and the desktop is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

In this case, in order to enable the first camera 21 to shoot the object to be shot on the desktop, when the electronic device is placed on the desktop, the electronic device may be vertically placed on the desktop along the length direction of the device housing 1, and at the same time, the lens of the first camera 21 faces the direction of the desktop, so that the object to be shot on the desktop may be shot by the first camera 21.

In another possible implementation manner, referring to fig. 4, the light incoming axis Z1 of the first camera 21 is perpendicular to the thickness direction of the device housing 1, and the light incoming axis Z1 of the first camera 21 is parallel to the width direction of the device housing 1, in this case, in order to enable the first camera 21 to shoot the object to be shot on the desktop, when the electronic device is placed on the desktop, the electronic device can be vertically placed on the desktop along the width direction of the device housing 1, and the lens of the first camera 21 faces the direction of the desktop, so that the object to be shot on the desktop can obviously be shot by the first camera 21 as well.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 3, the camera module 2 includes: a camera housing 22; the camera housing 22 is provided with a second opening 221, the first camera 21 is arranged in the camera housing 22, a lens of the first camera 21 is located at the second opening 221, the moving portion 31 is connected with the camera housing 22, and the moving portion 31 is used for driving the camera housing 22 to move between a first position and a second position along the thickness direction of the device housing 1; when the camera housing 22 is at the first position, the camera module 2 is located inside the first opening 11, so that the first camera 21 is accommodated in the first opening 11, and when the camera housing 22 is at the second position, at least a part of the camera module 2 extends out of the first opening 11, so that the lens of the first camera 21 extends out of the first opening 11 and is exposed outside the device housing 1.

When the camera module 2 includes the camera housing 22, the first camera 21 is disposed in the camera housing 22, and the lens of the first camera 21 is located at the second opening 221, obviously, when the object to be shot on the desktop is shot through the first camera 21, except that the lens of the first camera 21 is located at the second opening 221, other parts are all wrapped by the camera housing 22, so that the first camera 21 can be prevented from being directly exposed in the environment, and the service life of the first camera 21 can be prolonged to a certain extent.

To further extend the service life of the first camera 21, in some embodiments, a transparent barrier may be further disposed at the second opening 221 to wrap the lens of the first camera 21 in the camera housing 22. Through setting up transparent baffle, except can satisfying the shooting demand of first camera 21, can also protect the camera lens of first camera 21, therefore can further prolong the life of first camera 21.

Wherein, transparent baffle can be for high glass, or other can satisfy the shooting demand of first camera 21, and can protect the components and parts of first camera 21's camera lens, and this application embodiment does not do specific restriction to transparent baffle.

That is, in addition to the second camera 4, the third camera 5 is provided in the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction of the apparatus case 1, and it is apparent that the photographing function of the electronic apparatus in the thickness direction of the apparatus case 1 can be further strengthened.

The lens of the third camera 5 and the lens of the second camera 4 may be oriented in the same direction or in opposite directions. In a popular way, the lens of the third camera 5 and the lens of the second camera 4 may face the same side of the device housing 1, or may face different sides of the device housing 1, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. The number of the third cameras 5 may be 1, 2, 3, or the like, and the number of the third cameras 5 is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 2 and 6, the device housing 1 has a first side 12 and a second side 13 opposite to each other, a display screen is disposed on the first side 12, and when the first camera 21 is exposed outside the device housing 1, the first camera 21 is located on a side where the display screen is located.
