When shooting is required to be performed by using the second camera 572, the driving motor 582 rotates in the second direction to drive the camera module 57 to rotate through the worm 574, so that the second camera 572 on the camera module 57 is driven to the outside of the electronic device 50 from the notch.

In the actual driving process, when the camera module 57 is in the initial position, that is, inside the housing 55, the driving motor 581 is powered on, the driving motor 581 rotates in a first direction, for example, in a forward direction, and the worm 584 drives the camera module 57 to push the first camera 571 on the camera module 57 out of the electronic device 50 to the outside, so as to use the first camera 571 to shoot, as shown in fig. 8. After shooting, the driving motor 581 rotates in a second direction, for example, rotates in a reverse direction, and drives the camera module 57 through the worm 584 to pull the first camera 571 on the camera module 57 from the outside to the inside of the electronic device 50, but of course, in other embodiments, the first camera 571 can be pulled to the inside of the electronic device 50 by continuing to rotate in a forward direction.

Similarly, as shown in fig. 10, when the camera module 57 is at the initial position, the driving motor 581 is powered on, the driving motor 581 rotates in a second direction, for example, rotates in a reverse direction, and the worm 584 drives the camera module 57 to push the second camera 572 on the camera module 57 out of the electronic device 50, so as to use the second camera 572 to take a picture. After shooting, the driving motor 581 rotates in a first direction, such as forward rotation, and drives the camera module 57 through the worm 584 to pull the second camera 572 on the camera module 57 from the outside to the inside of the electronic device 50, but of course, in other embodiments, the second camera 572 can be pulled to the inside of the electronic device 50 by continuing to rotate in the reverse direction.

In the embodiment of the present application, the driving motor 581 and the worm 584 are matched with each other, so that the camera module can be driven to move by sufficient driving force on the premise of realizing miniaturization of the driving motor; the length of the worm 584 can be shortened as much as possible so that the driving motor 511 and the camera module 57 are tightly matched with each other, and the occupied area of the electronic device space is reduced. Specifically, the occupied space in the transverse direction of the electronic equipment is small, and meanwhile, the longitudinal space of the electronic equipment cannot be additionally occupied.

In an embodiment, the electronic device 50 may further include a circuit board 53, the camera module 57 is disposed on the circuit board 53 through a fixing part 573, and the fixing part 573 is disposed at a center position of the camera module 57, specifically, when the camera module 57 includes a plane and an arc surface, such as a semicircle, the fixing part 573 may be disposed at a center of a circle where the arc surface is located. And the fixing part 573 can serve as a rotation axis of the camera module 57 when the camera module 57 rotates.

In an embodiment, the electronic device 50 may further include a display screen and a glass cover plate, the glass cover plate is disposed on the middle frame 551 of the housing 55, and the display screen is disposed below the glass cover plate and located in the accommodating space. Due to the shielding of the display screen and the glass cover plate, the camera module 57 is hidden from view in appearance when being retracted into the housing 55. Wherein, drive arrangement 58 drives camera module 57 towards the direction motion that is on a parallel with the display screen to make camera module 57 keep in the coplanar with the electronic equipment 50 body after driving to the external world of electronic equipment 50, convenience of customers uses.

In one embodiment, a step may be formed at the top end of the frame 551 in the housing 55, and the glass cover may be overlapped on the step. In order to further improve the waterproof performance of the electronic device, a waterproof adhesive may be coated on the step portion or a waterproof gasket may be disposed on the step portion, so that the electronic device 50 may be prevented from water inflow while the glass cover plate is fixed.

By the above, the electronic equipment that this application embodiment provided includes the casing, camera module and drive arrangement, and the casing includes the base plate and from the center of base plate periphery extension, and the breach is seted up to the center, and camera module sets up in the inside breach position that just corresponds to the center of casing, and the edge of camera module sets up the teeth of a cogwheel, and drive arrangement is connected with camera module transmission to a part of drive camera module is driven to the electronic equipment external from the breach. The camera module can be hidden inside the casing among this application, hide when not using and be invisible, when the user needs to shoot, the camera module passes through drive arrangement and drives its partly breach department from the center to the electronic equipment is external, in order to satisfy user's shooting demand, when having promoted the convenience of shooing, owing to need not to overlap the design with camera module and drive arrangement, can also reduce electronic equipment thickness, reduce occupation space.
