Reference herein to "an embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of the application. The appearances of such phrases in various places in the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment, nor are separate or alternative embodiments mutually exclusive of other embodiments. Those of skill in the art will explicitly and implicitly appreciate that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is an exploded structure diagram of a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the application.
The mobile terminal includes a display assembly 10, a housing assembly 20, and a camera assembly 30.
The mobile terminal may be a smart phone, a tablet, a notebook, a smart watch, etc., which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.
The display screen assembly 10 is secured to the housing assembly 20.
The display assembly 10 may include a display 11 and a cover 12, the cover 12 being disposed on a side of the display 11 remote from the housing assembly 20, the cover 12 being disposed over the housing assembly 20. The cover 12 has a display area and a non-display area, and the non-display area may be used to reserve installation space for components such as a receiver or a sensor.
The camera module 30 is disposed in the housing assembly 20, and the camera module 32 in the camera module 30 may extend from the end of the housing assembly 20 to the outside of the housing assembly 20.
The housing assembly 20 may include a housing 21 and a dust guard 22. The housing 21 may include a front case 211 and a rear case 212. The camera assembly 30 is disposed between the front case 211 and the rear case 212. The dust-proof plate 22 is rotatably provided on the rear case 212. The rear case 212 is provided with an opening at a position where the camera module 32 is extended, from which the camera module 32 is extended, and the dust-proof plate 22 is used to cover and open the opening when rotated.
Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating a partially stacked positional relationship between a camera module and a display module according to an embodiment of the application.
As shown in fig. 2, the cover plate 12 has a display area 121 and a non-display area 122. At least a portion of the camera module 32 is disposed in a stacked relationship with the display area 121 of the display screen assembly 10 in the non-extended state. The lamination arrangement means a lamination arrangement in the thickness direction of the mobile terminal. The display area of the display screen assembly 10 refers to the display area on the cover plate 12. For example, in the non-extended state, the projected portion of the camera module 32 on the cover plate 12 falls within the display area 121.
The partial area of the camera module 32 is laminated with the display area 121 of the display screen assembly 10 in a non-stretching state, the camera module 32 can stretch out of the housing assembly 20 from the end of the housing assembly 20, and then the camera module 32 does not occupy the layout space position on the cover plate 12, so that a high screen occupation ratio or a full screen can be realized.
Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating a position relationship between a camera module and a display module in a fully stacked arrangement according to another embodiment of the application.
In another embodiment, the entire area of the camera module 32 is stacked with the display area 121 of the display screen assembly 10 in the non-extended state. For example, in the non-extended state, the projection of the camera module 32 onto the cover 12 falls entirely within the display area 121.
The camera module 32 can extend out of the housing assembly 20 from the end of the housing assembly 20, so that the camera module 32 does not occupy the layout space on the cover plate 12, the screen occupation ratio of the mobile terminal can be further improved, and a comprehensive screen is realized.
Referring to fig. 4 in conjunction with fig. 1, fig. 4 is a schematic diagram illustrating a connection structure between a dust-proof plate and a rear housing according to an embodiment of the application.
As shown in fig. 4, the dust guard 22 is hinged with the rear case 212. Alternatively, the dust guard 22 may be resiliently hinged with the rear case 212. For example, the dust-proof plate 22 is hinged to the rear case 212 through a hinge shaft a, on which a torsion spring (not shown) is fitted.
When the camera module 32 extends out of the housing assembly 20, the camera module 32 overcomes the elasticity of the torsion spring to jack the dust-proof plate 22, and when the camera module 32 is accommodated in the housing assembly 20, the dust-proof plate 22 rebounds under the action of the torsion spring and covers the opening on the rear housing 212.
Referring to fig. 5 in conjunction with fig. 1, fig. 5 is a schematic structural diagram of a camera module according to an embodiment of the application.
In the present embodiment, the camera module 30 includes a base 31, a camera module 32, a swivel 33, an elastic member 34, a fixing mechanism 35, a push rod 36, and a controllable magnetic member 38.
The base 31 is secured to the housing assembly 20. For example, the base 31 may be fixed to the front case 211 or to the rear case 212.
The camera module 32 is slidably connected to the base 31. For example, one of the camera module 32 and the base 31 is provided with a sliding groove, and the other is provided with a sliding rail, and the sliding rail is arranged in the sliding groove, so that the camera module 32 can slide along the first direction s relative to the base 31. For example, the first direction s is the vertical direction in fig. 5.
The swivel 33 is rotatably disposed between the base 31 and the camera module 32.
Optionally, swivel 33 includes a first section 331, a second section 332, and a third section 333 between first section 331 and second section 332. The third section 333 is rotatably supported to the base 31. For example, in the present embodiment, the third section 333 is hinged with the base 31. The third section 333 may also be directly supported to the base 31 without having to be hinged to the base 31.
The elastic member 34 is disposed between the camera module 32 and the base 31. Alternatively, the elastic member 34 provides a force in the first direction s, that is, the elastic force generated by the elastic member 34 makes the camera module 32 and the base 31 approach to and separate from each other in the first direction s. For example, the elastic member 34 is a spring, and a length direction of the spring is along the first direction s.
Alternatively, the number of elastic members 34 may be two. The two elastic members 34 may be axisymmetric about the symmetry axis of the camera module 32. The number of elastic members 34 may be other numbers, such as three, four, etc. The position between the two elastic members 34 may be asymmetrical.
The fixing mechanism 35 is used for fixing the camera module 32 and the base 31. For example, when the camera module 32 is in the non-extended state, the fixing mechanism 35 relatively fixes the camera module 32 and the base 31, and the fixing force of the fixing mechanism 35 is greater than or equal to the elastic force applied by the elastic member 34 to the camera module 32, so that the camera module 32 cannot be ejected naturally.
Alternatively, the securing mechanism 35 may include a resilient catch 351 secured to the base 31. The camera module 32 is provided with a clamping groove 311 at a corresponding position, and in a non-extended state, the elastic buckle 351 is clamped into the clamping groove 311.
Alternatively, the elastic buckle 351 may be located at the left side or the right side of the camera module 32, and the number of the elastic buckles 351 may be two. The two elastic buckles 351 are respectively located on the left side and the right side of the camera module 32. The two elastic buckles 351 may be disposed at positions axisymmetric with respect to the symmetry axis of the camera module 32.
It should be understood that the elastic buckle 351 may also be disposed on the camera module 32, and the two elastic buckles 351 may be disposed on two opposite sides of the camera module 32, respectively. And the corresponding card slot may be provided on the base 31. The number of the elastic buckles 351 may be three, four or other numbers, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.
The push rod 36 is slidably disposed within the base 31.
The push rod 36 is at least partially magnetic. For example, the pushrod 36 is at least partially made of a permanent magnetic material, alternatively, the upper end of the pushrod 36 is made of a magnetic material.
The controllable magnetic member 38 is fixed to the base 31, and the controllable magnetic member 38 may be disposed adjacent to an upper end of the push rod 36.
Alternatively, in the present embodiment, the push rod 36 includes a first rod body 361 and a second rod body 362 that are connected to each other in a bent manner. For example, the first rod 361 and the second rod 362 are vertically bent and connected. The first rod 361 is made of a permanent magnetic material. The controllable magnetic member 38 may be disposed at a right angle formed by bending the first rod 361 and the second rod 362. By the above layout, the installation space of the camera module 30 can be saved.
The magnetic force of the controllable magnetic member 38 acts on the push rod 36 and is transmitted to the swivel 33 via the push rod 36. It should be appreciated that the camera assembly 30 may not be provided with a push rod 36, and that the magnetic force of the controllable magnetic member 38 may act directly on the swivel 33.
The rotator 33 rotates under the magnetic force of the controllable magnetic member 38 to release the fixation between the camera module 32 and the base 31, and the elastic member 34 ejects the camera module 32 relative to the base 31 after the fixation between the camera module 32 and the base 31 is released.
Specifically, the push rod 36 generates a pushing force acting on the first section 331 of the rotator 33 under the magnetic force of the controllable magnetic member 38, and the third section 333 and the second section 332 of the rotator 33 act on the camera module 32 and the base 31, respectively, and generate a force to separate the camera module 32 from the base 31. Specifically, the pushing force of the push rod 36 is downward along the first direction s, the first section 331 of the rotator 33 rotates downward, the second section 332 of the rotator 33 rotates upward, and a force for separating the camera module 32 from the base 31 is generated, and the separating force overcomes the force between the camera module 32 and the base 31 fixed by the fixing mechanism 35 to release the fixation between the camera module 32 and the base 31, so that the elastic member 34 can eject the camera module 32 relative to the base 31.
After the camera module 32 pops up, the user can retract the camera module 32 into the base 31 by pressing the camera module 32, the camera module 32 enters a non-extended state, and the camera module 32 and the base 31 are kept relatively fixed by the cooperation of the elastic buckle 351 and the clamping groove 311, so that the non-extended state is maintained.
The camera module 32 may be retracted into the base 31 by magnetic force. For example, the second section 332 of the rotator 33 may be hinged to the camera module 32, and the controllable magnetic member 38 may be further configured to generate a magnetic force opposite to the above-mentioned magnetic force to act on the rotator 33 to rotate the rotator 33 (opposite to the rotation direction when the camera module 32 is ejected) to fix the camera module 32 and the base 31 by the fixing mechanism 35. For example, the controllable magnetic member 38 generates a magnetic force acting on the push rod 36 in a direction opposite to that of the magnetic force generated when extended, e.g., in a direction such as to be in the first direction s. The push rod 36 pulls the first section 331 to rotate upwards, so that the second section 332 rotates downwards, the second section 332 pulls the camera module 32 and the base 31 to be close to each other in the first direction s, the camera module 32 slides into the base 31, the elastic buckle 351 is clamped into the clamping groove 311, and the camera module 32 and the base 31 are restored to be fixed through the fixing mechanism 35.
The controllable magnetic member 38 may be an electromagnet, which may include a core and a coil, the magnitude and direction of its magnetic force being varied by varying the direction and magnitude of the current flow in the coil.
Alternatively, the pushrod 36 may be hinged to the swivel 33, specifically, the pushrod 36 is hinged to the first section 331 of the swivel 33. The push rod 36 may not be hinged to the swivel 33, but may abut the first section 331 of the swivel 33 when acting against each other.
In other embodiments, the position of the controllable magnetic member 38 and the specific structure of the push rod 36 may take other forms, as long as the magnetic force generated by the controllable magnetic member 38 can push the rotator 33 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise around the hinge point of the third section 333 and the base 31.
In other embodiments, instead of providing the push rod 36, the controllable magnetic member 38 may be disposed adjacent to the first section 331 of the rotator 33, and the first section 331 of the rotator 33 may be at least partially magnetic, so that the magnetic force of the controllable magnetic member 38 directly acts on the rotator 33, so that the magnetic force generated by the controllable magnetic member 38 can push the rotator 33 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise around the hinge point of the third section 333 and the base 31.
Other configurations of the securing mechanism 35 may be employed. For example, referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a schematic structural diagram of another fixing mechanism according to an embodiment of the application.
In this embodiment, the fixing mechanism 45 may include an elastic latch 451, the elastic latch 451 may be disposed on the lower side of the camera module 32, the elastic latch 451 may be connected to the base 31, the camera module 32 is provided with a dovetail hole at a corresponding position, and in a non-extended state, the elastic latch 451 is snapped into the dovetail hole.
It should be understood that the elastic latch 451 may also be disposed on the camera module 32, and the corresponding mortise hole may be disposed on the base 31.

The input unit 104 is used for generating control instructions according to operation instructions of a user. For example, the operation instruction may be an operation instruction to turn on or off the mobile terminal camera software. The polarity control circuit 102 is used for generating corresponding current according to the control instruction, and controlling the controllable magnetic piece 103 to generate corresponding magnetic force acting on the rotating body of the camera assembly.
The magnetic force is used for driving the rotator to rotate clockwise or anticlockwise around the hinge point of the rotator and the base, and when the rotator rotates along different directions, the fixing mechanism is released, or the camera module is fixed with the base, so that the extension and retraction of the camera module are realized, and the description can be seen specifically.
It should be appreciated that in other embodiments, the control instructions may be control instructions generated by the processor 101 operating from data detected by a sensor of the mobile terminal or automatically generated by the processor 101 of the mobile terminal from a trigger event, rather than generating control instructions from a user's operating instructions.
