In the embodiment of the present invention, the apparatus main body includes an apparatus housing 100, and the apparatus housing 100 provides a mounting base for a part of the functional components of the electronic apparatus. The drive mechanism 300 is provided to the apparatus casing 100. In an embodiment of the present invention, the device housing 100 has an inner cavity and an opening communicating with the inner cavity.

The driving mechanism 300 is disposed in the inner cavity, the driving mechanism 300 includes a first magnetic member 310 and a second magnetic member 320, and the first magnetic member 310 is connected to the functional module 200. The second magnetic member 320 may be an electromagnetic coil, and the second magnetic member 320 has a first energized state and a second energized state.

In a specific operation process, when the function module 200 needs to be switched to a working state, the second magnetic member 320 is in a first power-on state, the first magnetic member 310 is far away from the second magnetic member 320, at this time, the polarities of the first magnetic member 310 and the second magnetic member 320 are opposite, a magnetic repulsive force is provided between the first magnetic member 310 and the second magnetic member 320, the second magnetic member 320 drives the first magnetic member 310 to move towards a direction far away from the second magnetic member 320, and the first magnetic member 310 drives at least a part of the function module 200 to extend out of the device housing 100 through the opening (the moving direction of the function module is shown by an arrow X in fig. 3); when the function module 200 is completed, the second magnetic member 320 is in the second power-on state, the first magnetic member 310 and the second magnetic member 320 are close to each other, at this time, the polarities of the first magnetic member 310 and the second magnetic member 320 are the same, a magnetic attraction force exists between the first magnetic member 310 and the second magnetic member 320, the second magnetic member 320 drives the first magnetic member 310 to move toward the second magnetic member 320, and at least a portion of the function module 200 is driven to retract into the device housing 100 through the opening (the moving direction of the function module is shown by an arrow Y in fig. 4).

Alternatively, the first magnetic member 310 may be a permanent magnet or an electromagnetic coil, and the specific structure of the first magnetic member 310 is not limited herein.

Specifically, the functional module 200 may include at least one of a camera module, a fingerprint identification module, a telephone receiver, a light supplement lamp, a card holder, a speaker, a microphone, and a sensor, and may also include other components that can enter and exit the device housing 100.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the functional module 200 is disposed in the inner cavity of the device housing 100, when the functional module 200 works, the driving mechanism 300 drives the functional module 200 to extend out of the device housing 100, and when the functional module 200 does not work, the functional module 200 is hidden in the inner cavity of the device housing 100, so that the functional module 200 does not occupy a display area of the electronic device, and a screen of the electronic device occupies a relatively high area.

In the above embodiment, the second magnetic member 320 may be an electromagnetic coil, the electromagnetic coil needs to supply power during operation, the electromagnetic coil may be electrically connected to a battery of the electronic device, the second magnetic member 320 is disposed in the inner cavity of the device housing 100, and is favorable for being electrically connected to the battery disposed in the inner cavity, at this time, the second magnetic member 320 does not need to additionally provide a power supply device to supply power to the second magnetic member 320, so that the structure of the electronic device is simplified. Specifically, the second magnetic member 320 may be fixed in the inner cavity.

Alternatively, when the second magnetic member 320 is in the second power-on state, the second magnetic member 320 may have no polarity, that is, the second magnetic member 320 is not powered on at this time, and the user may manually press the function module 200 into the device housing 100.

In the above embodiment, when the first magnetic member 310 and the second magnetic member 320 are both electromagnetic coils, the electromagnetic coils need to consume power when operating, and thus the power consumption of the electronic device is large. For this reason, in another embodiment, the first magnetic member 310 may be a permanent magnet, and in this case, the first magnetic member 310 does not need to be powered, thereby reducing the power consumption of the electronic device. In addition, the first magnetic member 310 does not need to be powered on, so that a circuit structure for supplying power to the first magnetic member 310 does not need to be arranged in the functional module 200, thereby simplifying the internal structure of the functional module 200.

In an alternative solution, the driving mechanism 300 may further include an elastic member 330, and at least a portion of the elastic member 330 is elastically disposed between the first magnetic member 310 and the second magnetic member 320. The elastic member 330 enables the first magnetic member 310 and the second magnetic member 320 to elastically move, so as to avoid rigid collision between the first magnetic member 310 and the second magnetic member 320, and facilitate elastic restoration of the relative position between the first magnetic member 310 and the second magnetic member 320. Meanwhile, the elastic element 330 can play a role of elastic force, so as to assist the first magnetic element 310 and the second magnetic element 320 to move relatively fast, which is more beneficial to driving the functional module 200 into and out of the device housing 100. Alternatively, the elastic member 330 may be a spring, but may also be other elastic members, which is not limited herein.

In order to improve stability, in a preferable embodiment, the driving mechanism 300 disclosed in the embodiment of the present invention may further include a guide sleeve 340, the guide sleeve 340 is fixed in the inner cavity, the second magnetic member 320 is sleeved on the guide sleeve 340, the first magnetic member 310 is partially slidably disposed in the guide sleeve 340, one end of the elastic member 330 is fixed to the device housing 100, and the other end of the elastic member 330 is connected to the first magnetic member 310. The guide sleeve 340 can regulate the moving tracks of the first magnetic member 310 and the second magnetic member 320, so as to improve the precision and reliability of the moving path of the functional module 200. In a further technical solution, the elastic member 330 may be disposed inside the guide sleeve 340, so that the elastic member 330 can move along the guide sleeve 340, and finally, the deformation stability of the elastic member 330 can be improved. In addition, the elastic member 330 is disposed inside the guide sleeve 340, so that the structure formed by the elastic member 330 and the guide sleeve 340 occupies a smaller inner cavity space, thereby making the structure of the driving mechanism 300 more compact.

The electronic device disclosed by the embodiment of the invention may further include a connecting band 400, the connecting band 400 is connected with the device housing 100, and the connecting band 400 is used for enabling the electronic device to be worn on a human body. For example, in the case where the electronic device is a wristwatch, the connection band 400 may be a watch band, and the device body may be a dial. In the embodiment of the present invention, the type of the connection band 400 may be various, for example, the connection band 400 may be a leather band, a metal band, or the like, and the embodiment of the present invention does not limit the specific type of the connection band 400.

In the above-described embodiment, when the opening is located close to the connection strap 400, the functional module 200 easily interferes with the connection strap 400 when protruding out of the apparatus case 100, thereby easily causing damage to the functional module 200. In an alternative embodiment, the connection surfaces of the connection belt 400 and the device housing 100 are arranged at 90 ° to the opening. In this scheme, connecting band 400 is far away from the position of opening, and simultaneously, the winding direction of connecting band 400 is different with the direction that stretches out of function module 200 to make connecting band 400 be difficult to take place to interfere with function module 200, and then be difficult to cause function module 200 to damage. Alternatively, the device case 100 may have a rectangular parallelepiped structure or a cubic structure, and the connection surfaces and the openings of the connection belt 400 to the device case 100 are located on different sides of the rectangular parallelepiped structure or the cubic structure. The device housing 100 may also be a cylinder, the connection face and the opening being located on the circumferential face of the cylinder. Of course, the device housing 100 may have other shapes, which is not limited herein.

In the above embodiment, the connection surfaces and the openings of the connection belt 400 and the device housing 100 may be disposed at other angles, as long as the connection belt 400 does not affect the extending or retracting operation of the function module 200.

In the above embodiment, the function module 200 may easily rub against the sidewall of the opening when extending out of the device housing 100, thereby possibly causing the function module 200 to be stuck in the device housing 100. For this purpose, in an alternative embodiment, the electronic device may further include a guiding portion 500, the guiding portion 500 is disposed in the inner cavity, and the guiding portion 500 is slidably connected to the function module 200.

Alternatively, the guide part 500 may be a guide groove opened on the apparatus casing 100 or a guide rail mounted on the apparatus casing 100.

Function module 200 collides with other electronic components in the inner chamber easily at the in-process that removes to cause function module 200 or other electronic components to damage easily, and then make electronic equipment's security lower, an optional embodiment, accommodation space has been seted up to guide 500, and function module 200 slides for accommodation space, and under the condition that function module 200 is located the inner chamber, at least part of function module 200 is located accommodation space. In this scheme, under the condition that function module 200 is located the inner chamber, function module 200 can hide in accommodation space to make function module 200 be difficult to collide with other electronic components in the inner chamber, thereby be difficult to cause function module 200's damage, and then improved electronic equipment's reliability.

In addition, under the condition that the function module 200 is located in the inner cavity, at least a part of the function module 200 is located in the accommodating space, so that the waterproof performance and the dustproof performance of the function module 200 are improved.

Further, with the function module 200 located in the inner cavity, portions of the first magnetic member 310 and the second magnetic member 320 are located in the accommodating space. At this time, the first magnetic member 310 moves in the accommodating space, so that the first magnetic member 310 does not collide with electronic components of the electronic device during the moving process, thereby further improving the safety of the electronic device.

Under the condition that the functional module 200 is located in the inner cavity, when a part of the functional module 200 is higher than the device housing 100, the overall appearance size of the electronic device is increased, so that a user is inconvenient to carry, and the user experience is poor; when a part of the device housing 100 is higher than the function module 200, a groove is left at a position where the device housing 100 is connected with the function module 200, and dust is easily collected in the groove, so that the function module 200 is jammed when moving. In an alternative embodiment, the functional module 200 is exposed on the outer surface of the device housing 100 and coplanar with the outer surface of the device housing 100 with the functional module 200 located in the inner cavity. At this moment, the connection position of the device housing 100 and the function module 200 is smooth, so that the external dimension of the electronic device is small, the electronic device is convenient to carry by a user, and user experience is improved, meanwhile, no groove is formed in the connection position of the device housing 100 and the function module 200, and therefore dust is not easy to gather, so that the situation that the function module 200 is jammed is not easy to cause, and reliability of the electronic device is improved.

In the above embodiment, when the functional module 200 only uses one driving mechanism 300 to drive the functional module 200, the extending or retracting speed of the functional module 200 may be slow, and for this reason, in an alternative embodiment, the number of the driving mechanisms 300 may be multiple, multiple driving mechanisms 300 may be arranged at intervals, and multiple driving mechanisms 300 are connected to the functional module 200. In this embodiment, the number of the driving mechanisms 300 is large, and the driving force for driving the functional module 200 is large, so that the driving performance and the driving efficiency of the functional module 200 can be improved. Alternatively, the number of the driving mechanisms 300 may be two, and the two driving mechanisms 300 may not only meet the driving requirement of the functional module 200, but also cause design redundancy of the electronic device.

In the above embodiment, the driving force of the driving mechanism 300 is only applied to one side of the functional module 200, and the other side of the functional module 200 is not stressed or is stressed less, so that the magnitude of the driving force applied to the two sides of the functional module 200 is different greatly, which results in uneven stress on the two sides of the functional module 200, when the functional module 200 enters or exits the device housing 100, the functional module 200 is prone to skew, which causes friction between the functional module 200 and the sidewall of the opening, thereby affecting the structural integrity of the functional module 200, or even the functional module 200 may be stuck in the device housing 100.

In an alternative embodiment, the function module 200 may have a first side and a second side extending along a first direction and facing away from each other, wherein the first direction is along an axial direction of the opening. The number of the driving mechanisms 300 may be at least two, a first distance is provided between a connection point of one of the driving mechanisms 300 and the function module 200 and the first side surface, a second distance is provided between a connection point of the other of the driving mechanisms 300 and the function module 200 and the second side surface, and the first distance and the second distance may be equal. In this scheme, the first distance is equal to the second distance, and the difference between the driving forces applied to the two sides of the functional module 200 is small, so that the driving forces applied to the functional module 200 are relatively uniform. When the driving mechanism 300 drives the function module 200 to extend out of or retract back into the equipment housing 100, the function module 200 is not inclined, and the friction between the function module 200 and the side wall of the opening is not easy to occur, so that the structural integrity of the function module 200 is ensured, and meanwhile, the possibility that the function module 200 is stuck in the equipment housing 100 is also reduced. In addition, the at least two driving mechanisms 300 drive the functional module 200, so that the driving force applied to the functional module 200 is relatively large, and the driving performance and the driving efficiency of the functional module 200 can be improved.

The embodiment of the present disclosure may further include a control button 600, where the control button 600 may control a part of functions of the electronic device, for example, the control button 600 may control brightness of a display screen of the electronic device, or the control button 600 may control volume of the electronic device, and may also control other functions. In an alternative embodiment, the opening is located opposite the operating button 600. In this scheme, the operation button 600 is far away from the opening, so that the mutual interference between the operation button 600 and the function module 200 is avoided, and the electronic device is convenient to arrange.

The electronic equipment disclosed by the embodiment of the invention can be equipment such as an intelligent watch, an intelligent bracelet, an electronic belt and the like. Of course, other electronic devices may also be used, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto.

In the above embodiments of the present invention, the difference between the embodiments is mainly described, and different optimization features between the embodiments can be combined to form a better embodiment as long as they are not contradictory, and further description is omitted here in view of brevity of the text.

The above description is only an example of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the present invention.
