Referring to fig. 1 to 4, fig. 1 and fig. 2 are schematic structural diagrams of an electronic device 100 in two states according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. 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.

The electronic device 100 may be any device with a functional component 200, such as: smart devices such as tablet computers, mobile phones, 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 being retracted into a receiving cavity and being extended out of the receiving cavity. Fig. 6 is a partially enlarged schematic view of fig. 5. Fig. 7, 8 and 10 are plan views of the functional device in three different states from being retracted into the housing chamber to being extended out of the housing chamber.

Referring to fig. 5, the base 210 is further provided with a sliding groove 214 and a guide rail 215, which extend in a crossing direction. The sliding groove 214 may be a rectangular frame for accommodating the sliding seat 221. The functional device 230 is accommodated on the sliding seat 221. The sliding seat 221 slides along the sliding groove 214, so that the functional device 230 can be retracted into the receiving cavity 211 or at least partially extended out of the receiving cavity 211. The shape of the sliding groove 214 may match the shape of the sliding seat 221 to limit the freedom of the sliding seat 221, so that the sliding seat 221 can only move back and forth along the sliding groove 214.

Referring to fig. 5 and 6, a first elastic element 216 is disposed between the sliding seat 221 and the base 210. The sliding seat 221 includes a start end 221a and a tail end 221b opposite to each other, and the first elastic element 216 may be connected to the tail end 221b of the sliding seat 221 and a side of the base 210 away from the start end 221a of the sliding seat 221. The first elastic member 216 is stretched when the functional device 230 extends out of the receiving cavity 211, and the functional device 230 can be retracted into the receiving cavity 211 by the recovery of the first elastic member 216.

Referring to fig. 5 and 6, the functional element further includes a driving mechanism 220. The driving mechanism 220 includes a fixed member 223 fixed on the base 210 and a movable member 224 sliding in the guide rail 215. The movable member 224 is opposite to the fixed member 223, and the movable member 224 is located between the fixed member 223 and the sliding seat 221. The movable member 224 and the fixed member 223 have a magnetic force therebetween, so that the movable member 224 moves closer to or away from the sliding seat 221 under the magnetic force.

Referring to fig. 5 to 7, a wedge-shaped block 225 is disposed at an end of the movable member 224 away from the fixed member 223. Wedge 225 includes oppositely disposed large 2251 and small 2252 ends and an inclined surface 2253 between the large 2251 and small 2252 ends. In the extending direction along the sliding groove 214, the dimension L1 of the large end 2251 is greater than the dimension L2 of the small end 2252. In the extension direction x1 along the sliding groove 214, the difference between the length L1 of the large end 2251 and the length L2 of the small end 2252 may be 1mm to 20 mm. The inclined surface 2253 is inclined with respect to the extending direction of the slide groove 214. The inclined surface 2253 may be inclined at an angle of 30 to 75 degrees with respect to the slide groove 214. The wedge-shaped block 225 may be located near the rear end 221b of the sliding seat 221, and the wedge-shaped block 225 may abut against the rear end 221b of the sliding seat 221, or may be spaced from the rear end 221b of the sliding seat 221 by a small distance.

In this embodiment, referring to fig. 5 and fig. 6, the guide rail 215 may be a rectangular frame for accommodating the movable member 224 and the wedge-shaped block 225. The shape of the guide track 215 may be matched to the shape of the hinge 224 to limit the freedom of the hinge 224 so that the hinge 224 can only move back and forth along the guide track 215. It will be appreciated that the guide rail 215 extends from the fixing member 223 to a position where the sliding seat 221 is located. Alternatively, the extending direction of the sliding groove 214 may be perpendicular to the extending direction of the guide rail 215. The guide rail 215 may be in communication with the chute 214.

In this embodiment, referring to fig. 7 and fig. 8 specifically, since the fixed element 223 is fixed on the base 210, when a magnetic repulsive force is generated between the fixed element 223 and the movable element 224, after the movable element 224 receives the magnetic repulsive force, the movable element 224 gradually moves away from the fixed element 223 along the guide rail 215 from an initial position, that is, the movable element 224 gradually approaches the sliding seat 221 until the inclined surface 2253 of the movable element 224 abuts against the sliding seat 221, and the inclined surface 2253 generates a force along the direction of the sliding slot 214 on the sliding seat 221, so that the sliding seat 221 climbs in the sliding slot 214 relative to the inclined surface 2253 under the pushing of the movable element 224, and the functional device 230 extends out of the receiving cavity 211. The sliding seat 221 ascends in the sliding groove 214 relative to the inclined surface 2253, which means that the tail end 221b of the sliding seat 221 moves from the small end 2252 of the wedge-shaped block 225 to the large end 2253 of the wedge-shaped block 225 along the inclined surface 2253.

In this process, since the magnetic repulsive force generated between the fixed member 223 and the movable member 224 is greater than the elastic force generated by the deformation of the first elastic member 216, the first elastic member 216 is gradually stretched while the functional device 230 extends out of the receiving cavity 211. When the movable member 224 is in the initial position, the first elastic member 216 may be in a stretched state or an undeformed state.

Referring specifically to fig. 10, when there is no magnetic force or a magnetic attraction force between the fixed member 223 and the movable member 224, the movable member 224 is no longer subjected to a magnetic repulsion force. When the magnetic attraction is generated between the fixed member 223 and the movable member 224, the movable member 224 gradually moves away from the sliding seat 221, and the sliding seat 221 climbs and descends relative to the inclined surface 2253 under the action of the first elastic member 216, so as to drive the functional device 230 to retract into the receiving cavity 211. The sliding seat 221 ascends and descends in the sliding groove 214 relative to the inclined surface 2253, which means that the tail end 221b of the sliding seat 221 moves from the large end 2253 of the wedge-shaped block 225 to the small end 2252 of the wedge-shaped block 225 along the inclined surface 2253. If the magnetic force is not applied between the fixed member 223 and the movable member 224, the first elastic member 216 is elastically deformed, and the first elastic member 216 is restored, so that the sliding seat 221 moves along the sliding groove 214 under the action of the first elastic member 216, and the functional device 230 retracts into the receiving cavity 211. During the moving process, the sliding seat 221 will abut against the wedge-shaped block 225 and push the wedge-shaped block 225 to move along the guide rail 215, that is, the sliding seat 221 pushes the movable member 224 to move toward the fixed member 223, and the movable member 224 returns to the initial position.

When the functional device 230 is not needed, the functional device 230 can be hidden inside the base 210 by controlling the magnetic repulsion generated between the fixing member 223 and the moving member 224, and when the functional device 230 is needed, the functional device 230 can be extended out of the base 210 for use by controlling the non-magnetic force or the magnetic attraction generated between the fixing member 223 and the moving member 224, so that the use diversification of the electronic device is realized, and the user experience is improved.

In this embodiment, the sliding seat 221 is elastically connected to the base 210 by the first elastic member 216 in the extending direction along the sliding slot 214, rather than being connected by being embedded or engaged with each other. When the electronic device 100 falls or the sliding seat 221 is subjected to an impact force along the extending direction of the sliding chute 214, the sliding seat 221 is subjected to a transient large impact force, and the impact force is transmitted to the base 210 through the first elastic member 216, so that the first elastic member 216 is elastically deformed, and on one hand, a part of the impact force can be offset to reduce the influence of an external impact force on the sliding seat 221, thereby greatly reducing the risk of damage to the functional device 230; on the other hand, the sliding seat 221 can be retracted into the base 210, so as to prevent the functional device 230 from being exposed outside the base 210 and damaged by collision. Therefore, the sliding seat 221 and the base 210 are connected by the first elastic member 216, so that when the electronic device 100 falls or the functional device 230 is impacted, an impact force can be counteracted, and the functional device 230 is greatly protected, thereby increasing the reliability and the service life of the electronic device 100.

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 sliding groove 214 and the guide rail 215 are disposed on the bottom plate 213, and an extending direction of the sliding groove 214 may be perpendicular to an extending direction of the guide rail 215. The extending direction of the side plate 212 intersects with the plane of the bottom plate 213. The display screen 240 faces the bottom plate 213, and the display screen 240 and the base 210 form an accommodating space for accommodating the battery 243 and the main board 244.

In other embodiments, the electronic device 100 may include a plurality of display screens, and may further include another display screen opposite to the display screen 240, in addition to the display screen 240 shown in fig. 3 and 4, so as to form a double-sided screen structure. That is, the bottom plate 213 and the side plate 212 may be covered with a display screen, and the electronic device 100 may be a double-sided display screen, a full-sided display screen, a flexible display screen, a foldable display screen, or the like.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 3, 4 and 6, the side plate 212 has a through hole 217 communicating with the receiving cavity 211. The sliding slot 214 is communicated with the through hole 217, and the sliding seat 221 is slidably and telescopically inserted into the receiving cavity 211 through the through hole 217, so that the functional device 230 can at least partially extend out of or retract into the receiving cavity 211. The sliding groove 214 extends to the through hole 217.

In this embodiment, the shapes of the sliding seat 221 and the through hole 217 are matched, so that the sliding seat 221 can penetrate through the through hole 217 and cannot swing 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.

Referring to fig. 7 and 8, the sliding groove 214 has a blocking wall 2143 facing the through hole 217, and when the movable member 224 and the fixed member 223 repel each other, the wedge-shaped block 225 slides into the sliding groove 214 along the blocking wall 2143 and is inserted between the blocking wall 2143 and the sliding seat 221, so as to push the sliding seat 221 out of the through hole 217.

Referring to fig. 7, 8 and 10, the small end 2252 of the wedge 225 is close to the sliding seat 221. The wedge-shaped block 225 may abut against the rear end 221b of the sliding seat 221. When a magnetic repulsive force is generated between the fixed member 223 and the movable member 224, the wedge-shaped block 225 moves along the extending direction of the guide rail 215, the small end 2252 of the wedge-shaped block 225 abuts against the tail end 221b of the sliding seat 221, and generates an urging force to the tail end 221b of the sliding seat 221, where the urging force is greater than the elastic force of the first elastic member 216, so that the sliding seat 221 slides along the sliding groove 214 toward the outside of the base 210. As the wedge block 225 moves, the tail end 221b of the sliding seat 221 moves from the small end 2252 of the wedge block 225 to the large end 2251 of the wedge block 225 along the inclined surface 2253, and since there is a length difference between the large end 2251 and the small end 2252 in the extending direction x1 along the sliding groove 214, the length difference is the distance that the sliding seat 221 moves out. By setting the length difference to be larger than the size of the functional device 230, the functional device 230 can be completely extended out of the base 210 during the movement of the sliding seat 221.

In one possible embodiment, referring to fig. 7, 8 and 10, the rear end 221b of the sliding seat 221 has an inclined wall 2211. During the climbing or descending process of the sliding seat 221 relative to the inclined surface 2253, the inclined wall 2211 contacts with the inclined surface 2253 and slides relative to the inclined surface 2253. Alternatively, the inclined wall 2211 and the inclined face 2253 may be smooth surfaces to reduce sliding friction between the inclined wall 2211 and the inclined face 2253.

The inclined surface 2253 and the inclined wall 2211 may be planes perpendicular to the bottom plate 213, and the

inclined surfaces

2253 and 2211 may have the same inclination angle with respect to the extending direction x1 of the sliding slot 214, so that when the wedge block 225 pushes the sliding seat 221 to move, the inclined surface 2253 is attached to the inclined wall 2211, the tail end 221b of the sliding seat 221 moves along the inclined surface 2253, and the inclined surface 2253 is always supported by the tail end 221b of the sliding seat 221.

The inclined surface 2253 and the inclined wall 2211 may also be arc surfaces, and the inclined surface 2253 and the inclined wall 2211 may be in point contact or line contact during the relative sliding process, so as to reduce the friction resistance when the wedge 225 pushes the sliding seat 221 to move.

In one possible embodiment, referring to fig. 10, the large end 2251 has a first abutment surface 2254 facing the side plate 212. The rear end 221b of the sliding seat 221 further has a second abutting surface 2212 connected to the inclined wall 2211. The second contact surface 2212 faces in the direction opposite to the side plate 212. When the functional device 230 is fully extended out of the receiving cavity 211, the first abutting surface 2254 abuts against the second abutting surface 2212. The first abutting surface 2254 may be parallel to the second abutting surface 2212, and when the functional device 230 is fully extended out of the receiving cavity 211, the wedge-shaped block 225 supports the sliding seat 221 through the first abutting surface 2254, so as to ensure stability when the functional device 230 is fully extended out of the receiving cavity 211 and when the functional device 230 is used.

Alternatively, the inclined wall 2211 and the second abutting surface 2212 may be connected in an arc transition. The first abutment surface 2254 may be connected to the inclined surface 2253 in an arc-shaped transition.

In one possible embodiment, referring to fig. 10, the sliding slot 214 includes a side wall 2141 facing the wedge-shaped block 225. When the wedge-shaped block 225 moves towards the side wall 2141, the sliding seat 221 is pushed out of the base 210, and when the functional device 230 fully extends out of the receiving cavity 211, the small end 2252 of the wedge-shaped block 225 abuts against the side wall 2141 to limit the movement of the sliding seat 221.

Further, referring to fig. 7, 8 and 10, a ball 2142 may be disposed between the side wall 2141 and the sliding seat 221, when the movable element 224 and the fixed element 223 repel each other, the sliding seat 221 slides along the side wall 2141, and the ball 2142 is configured to reduce a frictional resistance between the sliding seat 221 and the side wall 2141.

In a possible embodiment, referring to fig. 7, 8 and 10, the fixed member 223 and the movable member 224 are further provided with a second elastic member 218. As the movable member 224 moves away from the fixed member 223 along the sliding groove 214, the second elastic member 218 is stretched. When the magnetic repulsion force between the fixed member 223 and the movable member 224 is not generated, the second elastic member 218 is restored to assist the movable member 224 to move toward the fixed member 223.

In some possible embodiments, referring to fig. 5, the functional component 200 includes a controller 250. The fixed member 223 is a permanent magnet, and the movable member 224 is an electromagnetic coil. Controller 250 is electrically connected to moveable member 224. When movable member 224 is a solenoid, controller 250 is configured to control the direction of current flow to the solenoid. Controller 250 provides a first electrical signal to moveable member 224, and moveable member 224 may be magnetically identical to stationary member 223 upon receipt of the first electrical signal by moveable member 224. A magnetic repulsive force is generated between the fixed member 223 and the movable member 224. The magnetic repulsion force causes the movable member 224 to move away from the fixed member 223 along the guiding rail 215, pushing the wedge-shaped block 225 to move, and the wedge-shaped block 225 abuts against and pushes the sliding seat 221, thereby pushing the functional device 230 to extend out of the base 210. At this time, the first elastic member 216 between the sliding seat 221 and the base 210 is stretched. Controller 250 ceases providing the electrical signal to moveable member 224 or provides the second electrical signal to moveable member 224 and there is no longer a magnetic force or a magnetic attraction between stationary member 223 and moveable member 224. The moving member 224 no longer receives a magnetic repulsive force, and the first elastic member 216 between the sliding seat 221 and the base 210 recovers to deform, so as to drive the sliding seat 221 to move, and push the wedge-shaped block 225 and the moving member 224 to approach the fixing member 223, so as to drive the functional device 230 to retract into the base 210.

In other embodiments, the fixed member 223 can be an electromagnetic coil, and the movable member 224 can be a permanent magnet.

In some possible embodiments, referring to fig. 6, 9 and 11, the sliding seat 221 includes a receiving groove 222 for receiving the functional device 230, and further includes a first blocking plate 2213 and a second blocking plate 2214. When the functional device 230 retracts into the receiving cavity 211, the first blocking plate 2213 covers the through hole 217 to limit the sliding seat 221 from continuing to retract into the receiving cavity 211. When the functional device 230 extends out of the receiving cavity 211, the second baffle 2214 abuts against the side plate 212 to limit the sliding seat 221 from extending out of the receiving cavity 211.

In some possible embodiments, referring to fig. 11, the sliding seat 221 further includes a cover plate 2215 covering the receiving slot 222. The cover 2215 is provided with a signal penetration portion 2216, and the signal penetration portion 2216 is used for transmitting or receiving a signal through the functional device 230 when the functional device 230 extends out of the accommodating cavity 211.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 11, the functional device 230 may be a camera module. The signal penetration portion 2216 may be one or more of a light-transmissive lens, a light-transmissive hole, a perforated plate, and the like. The cover plate 233 protects the functional device 230 and provides a darkroom environment for the functional device 230, facilitating photographing of the functional device 230. The functional device 230 may be a plurality of functional devices, the signal penetration portion 2216 may be a plurality of signal penetration portions 2216, and the signal penetration portions 2216 may correspond to the functional devices 230 one to one.

Referring to fig. 12 in combination with fig. 1 to 11, the present application further provides a control method of an electronic device, and the control method of the electronic device is applied to the electronic device 100. The control method of the electronic device includes the following steps.

In step 101, the electronic device 100 receives an extension signal, the electronic device 100 controls the movable element 224 and the fixed element 223 to repel each other according to the extension signal, the movable element 224 gradually approaches the sliding seat 221 until the inclined surface 2253 of the movable element 224 abuts against the sliding seat 221, so that the sliding seat 221 climbs in the sliding groove 214 relative to the inclined surface 2253 under the pushing of the movable element 224, the functional device 230 extends out of the receiving cavity 211, and the first elastic element 216 is in a stretched state.

Step 102, the electronic device 100 receives a contraction signal, the electronic device 100 controls the movable element 224 and the fixed element 223 to attract each other according to the contraction signal, the movable element 224 gradually gets away from the sliding seat 221, and the sliding seat 221 climbs and descends relative to the inclined surface 2253 under the action of the first elastic element 216, so as to drive the functional device 230 to retract into the accommodating cavity 211.

It can be understood that the electronic device 100 receives an extending signal or a retracting signal through a touch display screen, a receiver, a photosensitive element, a flash, and the like, and controls the fixed member 223 and the movable member 224 through the controller 250.

When the electronic device 100 falls, the electronic device 100 detects that an impact force applied to the sliding seat 221 in the sliding direction along the sliding seat 221 is greater than a preset value, the electronic device 100 may send a contraction signal to the controller 250, the controller 250 receives the contraction signal, and controls the fixed member 223 and the movable member 224 to have no magnetic force or generate a magnetic attraction force according to the contraction signal, and the first elastic member 216 returns to pull the sliding seat 221 to contract to a state where the functional device 230 is retracted relative to the base 210.

According to the functional element, the electronic device and the control method thereof provided by the present application, since the fixed element 223 is fixed on the base 210, when the magnetic repulsive force is generated between the fixed element 223 and the movable element 224, after the magnetic repulsive force is received by the movable element 224, the movable element 224 gradually gets away from the fixed element 223 along the guide rail 215, that is, the movable element 224 gradually gets close to the sliding seat 221 until the inclined surface 2253 of the movable element 224 abuts against the sliding seat 221, and the inclined surface 2253 generates a force along the direction of the sliding slot 214 on the sliding seat 221, so that the sliding seat 221 climbs in the sliding slot 214 relative to the inclined surface 2253 under the pushing of the movable element 224, and the functional device 230 protrudes out of the receiving cavity 211. When there is no magnetic force or magnetic attraction between the fixed member 223 and the movable member 224, the movable member 224 is no longer subjected to magnetic repulsion. The movable element 224 gradually moves away from the sliding seat 221, and the sliding seat 221 climbs and descends relative to the inclined surface 2253 under the action of the first elastic element 216, so as to drive the functional device 230 to retract into the receiving cavity 211. When the functional device 230 is not needed, the functional device 230 is hidden inside the base 210. When the functional device 230 needs to be used, the functional device 230 is driven to extend out of the base 210 for use. Therefore, the functional device 230 does not occupy the position on the display screen 110 of the electronic device 100, thereby improving the screen occupation ratio of the electronic device 100, facilitating the operation and improving the user experience.

In addition, the sliding seat 221 is connected to the base 210 through the first elastic member 216, so that when the electronic device 100 falls or the functional device 230 is impacted, an impact force can be counteracted, and the functional device 230 is greatly protected, thereby increasing the reliability and the service life of the electronic device 100.
