Detailed Description

Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, like numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the exemplary embodiments below are not intended to represent all implementations consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present disclosure, as detailed in the appended claims.

In the present disclosure, the use of the terms "inner" and "outer" are generally directed to the contours of the component parts themselves. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" as used in this disclosure do not denote any order or importance, but rather are used to distinguish one element from another.

As shown in fig. 1, the terminal includes a terminal body 1 and a camera 2, and the camera 2 is fixedly packaged in a rear cover 11 of the terminal body 1. It should be noted that the camera 2 is enclosed in the rear cover 11, and the main body of the camera 2 is located in the rear cover 11, in some embodiments, the camera may be located completely in the rear cover 11, and in other embodiments, a part of the camera 2 may protrude from the rear cover 11. For solving the problem that the viewing depth of the terminal camera in the related art is not enough, as shown in fig. 2, in the terminal provided by the present disclosure, a first magnetic member 4 is provided in the back cover 11, and the first magnetic member 4 is arranged close to the camera 2, so that the external lens can be magnetically adsorbed, and the viewing depth can be enhanced through the lens. In this case, a second magnetic member that attracts the first magnetic member 4 may be provided on the lens, or an end surface of the lens near the rear cover 11 (i.e., an end surface of the first end of the housing 31 described below) may be made of a material that can be magnetically attracted, such as an iron plate. In addition, the magnetic adsorption mode is adopted, destructive designs such as hole opening and the like are not needed to be carried out on the terminal body and the lens, and the structural integrity can be kept.

The first magnetic member 4 may be a permanent magnet or an electromagnet, and the specific type and material of the first magnetic member are not particularly limited in this disclosure. When an electromagnet is used, as a possible solution, a magnetic induction coil is provided inside the electromagnet, and the magnetic induction coil has two transmission terminals exposed to the outside, and the transmission terminals are connected to a battery of the terminal, so that whether the electromagnet needs to be magnetized or not can be controlled by the terminal. That is, in this embodiment, the magnetic switching of the electromagnet may be provided by the battery of the terminal itself. When the lens is not required to be additionally connected, the electromagnet is not provided with magnetism, so that inconvenience caused by the fact that the electromagnet is accidentally adsorbed to other objects with magnetic attraction property to the use of the terminal is avoided. It should be noted that the electromagnet in the present disclosure is not limited to the form of the magnetic induction coil, and any other structure capable of generating the magnetic force by the electromagnet may be applied to the magnetic member in the present disclosure.

According to some embodiments, in order to ensure that sufficient magnetic attraction force exists between the terminal and the external lens and prevent the lens from falling off in the using process, the number of the first magnetic members 4 can be multiple, the multiple first magnetic members 4 are arranged around the camera 2 and at intervals along the circumferential direction of the camera 2, and the design of arranging the first magnetic members 4 around the camera 2 is convenient for positioning the lens near the camera 2 quickly.

According to some embodiments, in the present disclosure, in order to improve the attraction force of the first magnetic member 4, the first magnetic member 4 may be attached to the inner side surface of the terminal rear cover 11, so that the distance between the first magnetic member 4 and the lens may be reduced, and the attenuation amount of the magnetic force may be reduced. In addition, the inner side surface of the rear cover 11 may be provided with a groove to accommodate the first magnetic member 4, and further reduce the distance between the first magnetic member 4 and the lens.

The terminal referred to in the present disclosure includes, but is not limited to, a mobile phone, a notebook computer, and a tablet computer having a camera function.

Based on the technical scheme of the terminal according to the foregoing embodiment of the present disclosure, the present disclosure further provides a lens detachably connected to the terminal. As shown in fig. 3, the external lens 3 includes a housing 31 and a lens 32 installed in the housing 31, and a second magnetic member 5 may be disposed at a first end of the housing 31, that is, an end where the housing is joined to the rear cover 11 of the terminal, so that the lens 3 can be magnetically attracted to the terminal having the camera, thereby increasing the depth of view of the camera on the terminal.

Like the first magnetic member 4, the second magnetic member 5 may also be a permanent magnet or an electromagnet. When the electromagnet is selected, the specific structure and arrangement mode of the inside of the electromagnet can be the same as those of the electromagnet in the terminal, and the details are not repeated here. In this case, however, a battery may be provided in the externally connected lens 3, and the electromagnet may be connected to the battery.

According to some embodiments, the camera 2 of the terminal protrudes from the back cover 11, as shown in fig. 2. Since the lens of the camera 2 enclosed in the rear cover 11 of the terminal body 1 protrudes from the rear cover 11 of the terminal body 1, in this case, in order to make the lens fit on the rear cover 11, as shown in fig. 3, the first end of the housing 31 may be formed in a hollow ring shape, that is, the lens 32 does not extend to the first end of the housing 31, but has a certain gap with the end surface of the first end, so that the gap (i.e., the hollow ring shape described above) can accommodate the protruding portion of the camera 2. In this way, it is ensured that the end face main body portion of the first end of the housing 31 can be fitted on the rear cover 11. In addition, the hollow ring shape can be adapted to the shape of the protruding part of the camera 2, so that the protruding part can also play a role in limiting the externally-connected lens 3 at the assembling position.

Further, similar to the above-mentioned setting manner of the first magnetic member 4, in order to ensure the magnetic attraction between the terminal and the external lens 3 and avoid the external lens 3 from falling off during the use process, the number of the second magnetic members 5 may be multiple, and the multiple second magnetic members 5 are circumferentially spaced at the first end of the housing 31. That is, after the lens barrel 3 is mounted on the terminal body 1, the plurality of second magnetic members 5 surround the camera 2 and are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction.

As shown in fig. 4 to 6, the present disclosure also provides a terminal including a terminal body 1, a camera 2 fixedly enclosed in a rear cover 11 of the terminal body, and a circumscribed lens 3 for detachably mounting to the rear cover 11. At least one of the terminal body 1 and the lens 3 is provided with a magnetic member to magnetically attract the other. Thus, when a long-distance object needs to be shot, the externally-connected lens 3 can be installed on the terminal body 1, namely the view depth of the camera 2 of the terminal can be enhanced.

The setting form and the beneficial effect of the terminal body 1, the camera 2 and the lens 3 in this embodiment may be the same as those of the terminal and the lens 3 in the foregoing embodiment, and are not described herein again. However, in the present embodiment, the attracting unit constituted by the terminal body 1 and the lens 3 may be provided with a magnetic member on one side or both sides. As one embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, a first magnetic member 4 is disposed on an inner surface of the terminal rear cover 11, and the first magnetic member 4 is close to the camera 2. The first end of the circumscribed lens housing 31 is made of a material that can be magnetically attracted by the first magnetic member 4, such as iron. When the two contact each other, a magnetic force is generated to attract each other, so that the externally connected lens 3 is detachably mounted on the terminal body 1.

In another embodiment, as shown in fig. 5, a first magnetic member 4 is disposed on the inner side surface of the terminal rear cover 11, and the first magnetic member 4 is close to the camera 2. The second magnetic member 5 is provided at a first end of the lens housing 31. When the two contact each other, a magnetic force is generated to attract each other, so that the externally connected lens 3 is detachably mounted on the terminal body 1.

In another embodiment, as shown in fig. 6, a second magnetic member 5 is provided at a first end of the lens housing 31. The area of the terminal rear cover 11 near the camera 2 is made of a material that can be magnetically attracted by the second magnetic member 5, such as iron. When the two contact each other, a magnetic force is generated to attract each other, so that the externally connected lens 3 is detachably mounted on the terminal body 1.

In this disclosure, profile matching is performed between the end surface of the rear cover 11 of the terminal body 1 and the end surface of the lens 3 close to the rear cover 11, so that the lens 3 is attached to the rear cover 11, the two are stably connected, and the lens 3 is prevented from shaking on the rear cover 11. For example, when the rear cover 11 of the terminal is designed to have a curved surface, the end surface of the lens 3 close to the rear cover 1 is designed to have a surface completely fitting with the curved surface.

In addition, the lens that can be externally connected in the present disclosure includes, but is not limited to, a wide-angle camera, a macro camera, a fisheye camera, a polarization camera, or an extended range camera. The user can assemble the camera lens of different functions according to the user demand of reality to expect that all can obtain good shooting effect under any circumstance.
