When the camera shooting mechanism 10 is pushed out to a predetermined position, the supporting seat 311 is blocked by the frame 201 and cannot move linearly any more, but because the motor 23 continues to work, the slider 22 still moves linearly and drives the sleeve 314 to extrude the spring 313, so that the spring 313 deforms, after the slider 22 moves for a certain distance, the external thread 3211 on the screw 321 is engaged with the nut in the second driving portion 223 of the slider 22, the screw 321 is driven by the slider 22 to rotate and drives the first gear 3221 on the screw 321 to rotate, the first gear 3221 drives the second gear 3222 to rotate, and because of the mutual matching of the first limiting portion 3223 and the second limiting portion 111, the second gear 3222 drives the camera shooting mechanism 10 to rotate together in the rotating process.

It can be understood that the way of screw 321 and slider 22 to realize the thread fit can be: the screw 321 does not contact the slider 22 at the beginning, but after the support seat 311 abuts against the frame 201, the support seat 311 cannot move linearly any more, so that the image pickup mechanism 10 and the second transmission assembly 32 also stop moving linearly, but as the slider 22 continues moving linearly, the sleeve 314 presses the spring 313, so that the slider 22 moves linearly relative to the screw 321, the external thread 3211 on the screw 321 is engaged with the nut thread in the second driving part 223, and then the screw 321 can rotate under the driving of the slider 22; the method can also be as follows: the end of the screw 321 provided with the external thread 3211 is always in the nut of the second driving portion 223, but only the middle or upper portion of the nut is provided with the thread, that is, the screw 321 is not in threaded fit with the nut at first, and is simply inserted into the nut, and after the slider 22 moves linearly for a certain distance relative to the screw 321, the external thread 3211 of the screw 321 is in threaded fit with the nut in the second driving portion 223.

The pushing out, rotating and retracting processes of the image pickup mechanism 10 will be described in detail below.

Referring to fig. 2, fig. 3 and fig. 7 to fig. 11, after the motor 23 works, the output of the motor 23 is decelerated and torque-increased by the reduction box 24 and then transmitted to the driving shaft 21, so that the driving shaft 21 rotates in one direction, the slider 22 moves linearly outward under the driving of the driving shaft 21, the slider 22 drives the camera mechanism 10 to move outward together through the first transmission assembly 31, and drives the second transmission assembly 32 to move outward together through the support seat 311, when the camera mechanism 10 moves a certain distance, the support seat 311 of the first transmission assembly 31 is blocked by the frame 201 and cannot move outward any more, and at this time, the camera mechanism 10 is just pushed out to a predetermined position;

when the motor 23 continues to work, the slide block 22 continues to move outwards, and at this time, the supporting seat 311 is blocked by the frame body 201 and can not move outwards any more, therefore, the sliding block 22 and the supporting seat 311 move relatively, the sliding block 22 drives the sleeve 314 to extrude the spring 313 in the process of moving outwards, so that the spring 313 is deformed, when the sliding block 22 moves for a certain distance, the end of the screw rod 321 enters the inside of the sliding block 22 and is connected with the nut thread inside the second driving part 223 through the external thread 3211, the slider 22 drives the screw 321 to rotate when moving linearly, and the first gear 3221 is fixed on the screw 321, the first gear 3221 will rotate with the screw 321, thereby driving the second gear 3222 to rotate, due to the limiting effect of the first limiting portion 3223 and the second limiting portion 111, the second gear 3222 cannot rotate relative to the camera shooting mechanism 10, and only can drive the camera shooting mechanism 10 to rotate together;

when the motor 23 drives the driving shaft 21 to rotate in the opposite direction, two ends of the spring 313 extruded in the above-mentioned rotating process respectively press against the supporting seat 311 and the sliding block 22, in this process, the supporting seat 311 is pressed by the spring 313 without downward displacement, that is, the image pickup mechanism 10 does not generate downward displacement, the sliding block 22 is pushed by the compressed spring 313 and moves downward under the action of the driving shaft 21, and further the driving screw 321 rotates in the opposite direction, and drives the gear set 322 to rotate in the opposite direction, thereby driving the image pickup mechanism 10 to rotate in the opposite direction, when the image pickup mechanism 10 rotates in the opposite direction, the screw 321 is disengaged from the original position of the sliding block 22 by the thread, the screw 321 does not rotate any more, the sliding block 22 continues to move downward, so that the sleeve 314 abuts against the boss 3122 of the supporting rod 312, and at this time, the sliding block 22 drives the sleeve 314 to move downward, and at the supporting rod 312 to move downward, finally, the image pickup device 100 is retracted into the housing cavity 203.

Example two:

referring to fig. 12, the image capturing apparatus 300 according to the present embodiment is compared with the image capturing apparatus 100 according to the first embodiment: the camera device 300 further includes a stopper 50, the stopper 50 is fixedly disposed relative to the motor 23 ', and the stopper 50 is disposed at an interval on a side of the position-limiting extending portion 3112 ' away from the elastic member 313 '. Two stoppers 50 are provided, each stopper 50 is respectively opposite to one limit extending portion 3112 ', the distance between the two stoppers 50 is larger than the width of the camera shooting mechanism 10' but smaller than the width of the supporting seat 311 ', when the supporting seat 311' moves to abut against the stopper 50, the supporting seat 311 'stops linear movement by the cooperation of the stoppers 50 and the limit extending portions 3112'.
