Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the specific embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings. It is to be understood that the described embodiments are merely exemplary of the invention, and not restrictive of the full scope of the invention. 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.

The technical solutions disclosed in the embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to fig. 2 to 12, an embodiment of the invention discloses an electronic device, which includes a device housing 100, a driving mechanism and a motion module 400.

The device case 100 is a base member of the electronic device, and the device case 100 can provide a mounting base for other constituent members of the electronic device. The driving mechanism is disposed in the device housing 100, and the driving mechanism is connected to the motion module 400 and is used for driving the motion module 400 to move.

The motion module 400 may include a module holder 410 and a module body 420, and a first end of the module body 420 is rotatably coupled to a first end of the module holder 410, thereby enabling the module body 420 to rotate with respect to the module holder 410. The module holder 410 is hinged to the apparatus housing 100 such that the module holder 410 can be rotated relative to the apparatus housing 100.

The module body 420 is rotatable with the first end of the module holder 410 in a first direction or a second direction. The first direction is opposite to the second direction. The first direction may be clockwise or counterclockwise. Under the condition that the first end of the module body 420 rotates in the first direction, a rotation avoiding gap 600 may be formed between the module body 420 and the equipment housing 100, and the rotation avoiding gap 600 may enable the first end of the module body 420 to have a larger space with the equipment housing 100 in the rotating direction, so as to avoid interference of the equipment housing 100 with the rotation of the module body 420.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the module body 420 has a first position and a second position, the orientation of the module body 420 in the first position is different from the orientation in the second position, the module body 420 may operate in the third direction in the case where the module body 420 is in the first position, and the module body 420 may operate in the fourth direction in the case where the module body 420 is in the second position. The third direction and the fourth direction are different directions. When the module body is the camera, the third direction can be the direction of leading camera orientation, and the fourth direction can be the direction of rear camera orientation.

Under the condition that the first end of the driving mechanism driving module bracket 410 drives the first end of the module body 420 and the equipment housing 100 to form a rotation avoiding gap 600, the rotation avoiding gap 600 can realize that the rotation of the module body 420 is not affected by the equipment housing 100. In this case, the driving mechanism can drive the module body 420 to rotate and switch between the first position and the second position.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the module body 420 can face different directions, so that the module body 420 can work in different directions. Compared with the electronic device in which the module bodies 420 are respectively arranged in different directions, the assembly method of the module body 420 disclosed in the embodiment of the present invention can undoubtedly reduce the number of the electronic device configuration module bodies 420, and further can reduce the manufacturing cost of the electronic device.

The electronic device disclosed by the embodiment of the invention improves the structure of the electronic device in the prior art, so that the motion module 400 comprises the module bracket 410 rotatably arranged on the device shell 100 and the module body 420 rotatably arranged on the module bracket 410, before the module body 420 is driven to switch between the first position and the second position, the driving mechanism firstly drives the module bracket 410, so that the module bracket 410 drives the module body 420 to rotate, and further a rotation avoiding gap 600 is formed between the module body 420 and the device shell 100, the rotation avoiding gap 600 can prevent the module body 420 from being interfered by the device shell 100 in the process of independent rotation, and as the rotation avoiding gap 600 needs to be formed by the movement of the module body 420, a larger gap is not specially reserved between the module body 420 and the device shell 100, and further the assembly between the module body 420 and the device shell 100 is more compact, thereby improving the appearance performance of the electronic device.

Meanwhile, since a large gap does not need to be left between the motion module 400 and the device case 100, the intrusion of foreign matters can be avoided, and the situation that the motion module 400 cannot rotate due to the fact that the motion module 400 is locked after the foreign matters intrude can be avoided, it can be seen that the electronic device disclosed by the embodiment of the invention can also improve the operation stability of the motion module 400.

As described above, the module bracket 410 is hinged to the equipment housing 100, and in an alternative scheme, the equipment housing 100 may include two supporting seats 110, and the middle portions of the two side edges of the module bracket 410, which are opposite to each other, are hinged to the two supporting seats 110, respectively, so that the whole movement module 400 is formed in a structure similar to a see-saw structure, and the structure can improve the flexibility of rotation of the module bracket 410, thereby facilitating the rotation of the module body 420 with the equipment housing 100 after the module bracket 410 rotates. Of course, the module holder 410 may be mounted on the equipment enclosure 100 by other rotation fit methods, and the embodiment of the present invention does not limit the specific connection method between the module holder 410 and the equipment enclosure 100.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the driving mechanism can drive the module bracket 410 to rotate relative to the equipment housing 100, so as to indirectly drive the module body 420 to rotate, and then drive the module body 420 to rotate independently relative to the module bracket 410, so as to rotate the module body 420 relative to the equipment housing 100, thereby achieving the rotation switching between the first position and the second position. The structure of the driving mechanism can be various, and the embodiment of the invention does not limit the specific type of the driving mechanism.

In an alternative scheme, the driving mechanism may include a first driving module and a second driving module, a middle portion of the module bracket 410 is hinged to the device housing 100, a portion of the module bracket 410 hinged to the device housing 100 is located between a first end of the module bracket 410 and a second end of the module bracket 410, the first driving module is connected to the module bracket 410, the first driving module drives the module bracket 410 to rotate in the first direction or the second direction, the second driving module is connected to the module body 420, and the second driving module drives the module body 420 to rotate and switch between the first position and the second position. Specifically, the first driving module may be a first telescopic driving member, and specifically, the first driving module is disposed between the second end of the module bracket 410 and the device housing 100, and further drives the module bracket 410 to rotate in the first direction or the second direction through its own telescopic movement. The second driving module can also be a second telescopic driving member, the second telescopic driving member can be arranged between the module support 410 and the module body 420, and the second telescopic driving member can drive the second end of the module body 420 to rotate around the first end of the module body 420 through self expansion and contraction, so that the module body 420 can be switched between the first position and the second position relative to the module support 410. Of course, the first driving module and the second driving module may also be other devices capable of driving the module bracket 410 and the module body 420 to rotate, for example, the first driving module and the second driving module may be the second driving motor.

Based on this, in another alternative, the driving mechanism may include a first driving motor 200 and a transmission mechanism 300, the transmission mechanism 300 may include a first transmission member 310, a second transmission member 320, and a third transmission member 330, the first driving motor 200 is connected to the first transmission member 310 and can drive the first transmission member 310 to rotate, the first transmission member 310 is respectively connected to the second transmission member 320 and the third transmission member 330, the second transmission member 320 is connected to the module bracket 410 to drive the module bracket 410 to rotate, and the third transmission member 330 is connected to the module body 420 to drive the module body 420 to rotate.

Wherein: in the process that the first driving motor 200 drives the second transmission member 320 to rotate through the first transmission member 310, the transmission connection between the third transmission member 330 and the first transmission member 310 is disconnected, so that power transmission cannot be performed. In the process that the first driving motor 200 drives the third transmission member 330 to rotate through the first transmission member 310, the transmission connection between the second transmission member 320 and the first transmission member 310 is disconnected, so that power transmission cannot be performed. Specifically, the first transmission member 310 and the second transmission member 320 and the first transmission member 310 and the third transmission member 330 may be engaged with each other through a clutch structure, so that one of the second transmission member 320 and the third transmission member 330 is engaged with the first transmission member 310, and further, power transmission is realized.

Specifically, clutches may be disposed between the first transmission member 310 and the second transmission member 320 and between the first transmission member 310 and the third transmission member 330, so as to control the transmission of the braking force through the operation of the clutches. The structure for implementing the above functions may be various, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited. For example, the first transmission member 310 may change its position to transmit power at different positions, for example, the first transmission member 310 may cooperate with the second transmission member 320 to transmit power when moving to the first power transmission position, and the first transmission member 310 may be separated from the third transmission member 330 to transmit no power when moving to the first power transmission position. The first transmission member 310 may be engaged with the third transmission member 330 to achieve power transmission when moved to the second power transmission position, and the first transmission member 310 is separated from the second transmission member 320 to not perform power transmission in the second power transmission position.

The transmission mechanism 300 disclosed in the embodiment of the present invention may further include a box 340, wherein the first transmission member 310, the second transmission member 320, and the third transmission member 330 are at least partially disposed in the box 340, and the box 340 is fixed in the device housing 100, so as to protect the first transmission member 310, the second transmission member 320, and the third transmission member 330.

In this case, the embodiment of the present invention discloses a driving mechanism with a specific structure, wherein the first transmission member 310 may include a driving lever 311; the second transmission member 320 may be provided with a first engaging groove 3211, and the second transmission member 320 may include a second transmission engaging tooth 3221; the third transmission piece 330 may be disposed on a side of the first transmission piece 310 facing away from the second transmission piece 320, and the third transmission piece 330 may have a second fitting groove 3311; the first driving motor 200 can drive the first transmission member 310 to switch between the first rotation stroke and the second rotation stroke.

Under the condition that the first transmission member 310 is in the first rotation stroke, the driving lever 311 can rotate with the first transmission member 310 to a position where the driving lever is engaged with the first engaging groove 3211, the second transmission member 320 rotates with the first transmission member 310, and the second transmission member 320 drives the module bracket 410 to rotate in the first direction or the second direction by engaging the second transmission engaging tooth 3221 with the first transmission engaging tooth 411. In this case, since the shift lever 311 is not engaged with the second engaging groove 3311 in a state of being engaged with the first engaging groove 3211, the second transmission member 320 rotates, and the third transmission member 330 does not rotate.

Under the condition that the first transmission member 310 is in the second rotation stroke, the shift lever 311 can rotate along with the first transmission member 310 to a position where the shift lever is engaged with the second engagement slot 3311, the third transmission member 330 can rotate along with the first transmission member 310, the third transmission member 330 is connected to the module body 420, and the driving module body 420 is rotationally switched between the first position and the second position. In this case, since the shift lever 311 is not engaged with the first engaging groove 3211 in a state of being engaged with the second engaging groove 3311, the third transmission member 330 is rotated, and the second transmission member 320 is not rotated.

In a specific working process, the first driving motor 200 drives the first transmission member 310 to rotate, so that the first transmission member 310 drives the shift lever 311 to intermittently cooperate with the first fitting groove 3211 and the second fitting groove 3311, and further selectively perform power transmission with the second transmission member 320 and the third transmission member 330, so that the driving mechanism only needs to be configured with one first driving motor 200, that is, the first driving motor 200 can drive the module bracket 410 to rotate relative to the device housing 100, and can also drive the module body 420 to rotate relative to the module bracket 410.

In an alternative scheme, the second transmission member 320 may include a first sub transmission member 321 and a second sub transmission member 322, the first sub transmission member 321 and the second sub transmission member 322 are coaxially disposed and are both rotatably disposed on the device housing 100, the second sub transmission member 322 can rotate along with the first sub transmission member 321, the first sub transmission member 321 has a first matching groove 3211, and the second sub transmission member 322 includes the second transmission engaging tooth 3221, in which case, the first matching groove 3211 and the second transmission engaging tooth 3221 are respectively disposed on the first sub transmission member 321 and the second sub transmission member 322, so that the transmission matching can be more flexible, and the optimization of the assembly structure is facilitated.

In a specific working process, under the condition that the first transmission member 310 is in the first rotation stroke, the shift lever 311 rotates to a position matched with the first matching groove 3211 along with the first transmission member 310, and then shifts the first sub transmission member 321 to rotate, because the first sub transmission member 321 and the second sub transmission member 322 are coaxially arranged, and the second sub transmission member 322 can rotate along with the first sub transmission member 321, the second sub transmission member 322 can also rotate, the second sub transmission member 322 can shift the first transmission engagement tooth 411 through the second transmission engagement tooth 3221 in the rotating process, and finally the driving module bracket 410 rotates in the first direction or the second direction.

In an alternative scheme, the third transmission member 330 may include a third sub transmission member 331, a fourth sub transmission member 332 and a fifth sub transmission member 333, the third sub transmission member 331 is rotatably disposed in the device housing 100, the third sub transmission member 331 is provided with a second matching groove 3311, the fourth sub transmission member 332 and the third sub transmission member 331 are coaxially disposed and can rotate along with the third sub transmission member 331, and the fourth sub transmission member 332 is provided with a third transmission engaging tooth 3321; the fifth sub-transmission member 333 is rotatably disposed on the apparatus housing 100, the fifth sub-transmission member 333 includes a fourth transmission engaging tooth 3331, the fifth sub-transmission member 333 is connected to the module body 420, and the fourth sub-transmission member 332 drives the fifth sub-transmission member 333 to rotate and switch the module body 420 between the first position and the second position by engaging the third transmission engaging tooth 3321 with the fourth transmission engaging tooth 3331.

In a specific working process, when the first transmission member 310 is in the second rotation stroke, the shift lever 311 is separated from the first fitting groove 3211 along with the rotation of the first transmission member 310, and then fits with the second fitting groove 3311, so that the shift lever 311 rotates along with the first transmission member 310, and further the third sub-transmission member 331 can rotate, because the third sub-transmission member 331 and the fourth sub-transmission member 332 are coaxially disposed, and the fourth sub-transmission member 332 can rotate along with the third sub-transmission member 331, so that the fourth sub-transmission member 332 can rotate, and the fourth sub-transmission member 332 can finally drive the fifth sub-transmission member 333 to rotate through the engagement transmission between the third transmission engagement tooth 3321 and the fourth transmission engagement tooth 3331, so that the fifth sub-transmission member 333 drives the module body 420 to rotate and switch between the first position and the second position.

In this case, in the case that the module bracket 410 drives the module body 420 to move in the first direction and the second direction, since the second rotating shaft 421 and the first rotating shaft 334 can relatively move, the transmission is not affected. There are various structures for achieving the above object.
