Meanwhile, the avoidance hole 212 can avoid the functional module 500 from colliding with the device case 210, thereby protecting the functional module 500 from being damaged.

Photosensitive chip 240 is located within device inner chamber 213, and photosensitive chip 240 is camera device's important component, can respond to the light of throwing towards photosensitive chip 240, advances light region 211 and can let electronic equipment's ambient light enter into device inner chamber 213 the inside through advancing light region 211, makes ambient light at last to be responded to by photosensitive chip 240, and then accomplishes and shoot. Specifically, the photosensitive chip 240 can be fixed in the device inner cavity 213 through bonding, clamping, and other fixing methods, the first camera device 200 moves the device shell 210 and the photosensitive chip 240 simultaneously, and the light inlet area 211 is arranged on the device shell 210, so that the relative position between the photosensitive chip 240 and the light inlet area 211 is always unchanged, and the light passing through the light inlet area 211 can be sensed by the photosensitive chip 240.

The device housing 210 closes off the mounting hole, and the device housing 210 and the apparatus housing 100 form a main external shield of the electronic apparatus. In the working process, the first camera device 200 can move in the mounting hole of the equipment housing 100, so the device housing 210 can be always in a matching state with the hole wall of the mounting hole, dust in the external environment of the electronic equipment cannot enter the electronic equipment, dust falling of internal devices of the electronic equipment can be avoided, and the service life of the electronic equipment is prolonged.

Specifically, the first image capturing device 200 is movably fitted to the apparatus housing 100 through the device housing 210, and the apparatus housing 100 serves as a supporting body and a guiding member of the first image capturing device 200, so that the first image capturing device 200 can be supported, the first image capturing device 200 can be installed in the apparatus housing 100 through the installation hole, and the first image capturing device 200 can be guided, so that the first image capturing device can be moved in and out of the apparatus housing 100 through the installation hole, and the first image capturing device 200 and the apparatus housing can be movably fitted through a plurality of manners such as sliding and rolling.

The driving mechanism 300 is connected between the first camera device 200 and the apparatus casing 100, the driving mechanism 300 can provide the power required for the movement of the first camera device 200, and the driving mechanism 300 can be a common cylinder mechanism, a piston mechanism, etc., and can drive the first camera device 200 to switch between the first position and the second position relative to the apparatus casing 100.

When the first camera device 200 is in the first position, at least a portion of the first camera device 200 extends out of the apparatus housing 100 through the mounting hole, and the functional module 500 is located outside the apparatus inner cavity 213 through the avoiding hole 212, so that the ambient light is projected to the photo chip 240 through the light entrance region 211. In this case, a part of the structure of the device housing 210 is exposed on the outer surface of the apparatus housing 100, the avoiding hole 212 forms a semi-enclosed space towards the internal environment of the device housing 210, and the light path of the first camera 200 can be lengthened through the semi-enclosed space by the ambient light passing through the light entering region 211, and finally is sensed by the light sensing chip 240, so that the first camera 200 can take a picture at a longer distance when the overall size of the electronic apparatus is determined.

With the first camera device 200 in the second position, the first camera device 200 can be retracted into the apparatus housing 100 through the mounting hole, and the functional module 500 is located in the device inner cavity 213 through the avoiding hole 212, and the functional module 500 is located between the light entering region 211 and the photosensitive chip 240. In this case, the functional module 500 occupies a part of the inner space of the device housing 210, so that the light path between the light incident region 211 and the photosensitive chip 240 is blocked, that is, the functional module 500 can prevent the ambient light passing through the light incident region 211 from being finally projected onto the photosensitive chip 240, and the photosensitive chip 240 cannot sense the ambient light.

The electronic device disclosed in the embodiment of the present application improves the structure of the electronic device in the related art, specifically, an equipment inner cavity and a mounting hole are opened in the equipment housing 100, then the function module 500 is disposed in the equipment inner cavity of the equipment housing 100 through the mounting hole, the first image pickup device 200 is disposed on the equipment housing 100, an avoidance hole 212 through which the function module 500 can pass is disposed in the device housing 210, and a driving mechanism 300 capable of providing power is disposed for the first image pickup device 200, so that the first image pickup device 200 can be switched between a first position and a second position.

Thus, when the first image capturing device 200 moves to the first position, the functional module 500 relatively moves to the outside of the device cavity 213, so that a long optical path is formed between the light entering region 211 and the light sensing chip 240, and finally a long-focus image capturing mechanism can be formed, so as to achieve the purpose of long-distance image capturing. When the first camera 200 is moved to the second position, the functional module 500 is moved into the device cavity 213, so that the first camera 200 can be fitted into the apparatus housing 100, thereby ensuring a small overall size of the electronic apparatus. Therefore, in the electronic device disclosed in the embodiment of the present application, under the condition that the size of the whole device is determined, the driving mechanism 300 provides power, so that the position change of the first camera device 200 can be adjusted, a long-focus shooting mechanism can be formed, and further, shooting at a longer distance can be realized.

As shown in fig. 5 and 8, in a more specific embodiment, the driving mechanism 300 includes a first driving member 310 and a second driving member 320, the first driving member 310 is disposed on the apparatus housing 100, the second driving member 320 is disposed on the first image pickup device 200, and the first driving member 310 and the second driving member 320 are disposed opposite to each other along the moving direction of the first image pickup device 200.

In the present application, the first driving member 310 may serve as a driving member of the driving mechanism 300, and the second driving member 320 may serve as a driven member of the driving mechanism 300, for example, the first driving member 310 is an air cylinder, the second driving member 320 is an air cylinder rod, or the first driving member 310 is a combination of a gear shaft and a motor, and the second driving member 320 is a rack, etc. Thus, when the first driving member 310 and the device housing 100 are kept relatively fixed, the driving mechanism 300 is activated to drive the second driving member 320 by the first driving member 310, so that the second driving member 320 can move relative to the first driving member 310, and the first image capturing device 200 moves synchronously with the second driving member 320 and is switched between the first position and the second position. This can achieve a good driving effect for the first image pickup device 200.

In a further alternative, one of the first and

second drivers

310 and 320 may be an electromagnet and the other may be a permanent magnet; alternatively, the first driving member 310 and the second driving member 320 may both be electromagnets. For example, the first driving member 310 is an electromagnet and the second driving member 320 is a permanent magnet.

Under the condition that the magnetism of the first driving member 310 is the same as that of the second driving member 320, the first image capturing device 200 is driven to move from the second position to the first position by the cooperation of the first driving member 310 and the second driving member 320. That is, the first driving member 310 will generate a magnetic repulsion force to the second driving member 320 to drive the second driving member 320 to perform a movement away from the first driving member 310, so that the first image capturing device 200 extends out of the apparatus housing 100 through the mounting hole, even if the first image capturing device 200 moves from the second position to the first position so as to extend out of the apparatus housing 100 through the mounting hole, thereby completing the long-distance shooting.

Under the condition that the magnetism of the first driving member 310 is opposite to that of the second driving member 320, the first image pickup device 200 is driven to move from the first position to the second position by the cooperation of the first driving member 310 and the second driving member 320. That is, the first driving member 310 will generate a magnetic attraction force on the second driving member 320 to drive the second driving member 320 to perform a movement close to the first driving member 310, so as to retract the first image capturing device 200 into the apparatus housing 100 through the mounting hole, i.e., the first image capturing device 200 moves from the first position to the second position so as to retract into the apparatus housing 100 through the mounting hole, thereby ending the long-distance shooting and reducing the size of the electronic apparatus as a whole.

Furthermore, as shown in fig. 8, two second driving members 320 may be provided and symmetrically disposed at two sides of the device housing 210, and the first driving members 310 correspond to the second driving members 320 one by one. This can make the generated driving force more balanced, and more or less first driving members 310 and second driving members 320 can be disposed on the first image pickup device 200 and the apparatus housing 100, which will not be described in detail herein.

Furthermore, the first camera device 200 may further include a cover 260, the cover 260 is disposed on the device housing 210, and the second driving member 320 is disposed in the cover 260, so that the cover 260 may cover the second driving member 320 and the second driving member 320 is more stably disposed on the device housing 210.

More specifically, the housing 260 is disposed opposite to the first driving member 310 and has an opening facing the first driving member 310, and the second driving member 320 may be installed in the housing 260 through the opening. The opening is designed to facilitate the installation of the second driving member 320 and to release the shielding of the second driving member 320 by the casing 260, so that a greater magnetic force is generated between the second driving member 320 and the first driving member 310.

Further, as shown in fig. 8, the inner wall of the apparatus housing 100 is provided with the placement groove 110, for example, the placement groove 110 is opened on the inner bottom wall of the apparatus housing 100, the placement groove 110 is disposed opposite to the device housing 210, and the first driving member 310 is embedded in the placement groove 110, so that the first driving member 310 can be more stably installed on the apparatus housing 100. Of course, the stability of the connection of the first driving member 310 to the device housing 100 can be further enhanced by applying glue, welding, etc. to the placement groove 110, which will not be described in detail herein.

In a more specific embodiment, as shown in fig. 3 to 5, the electronic apparatus further includes a second guide rail 400, and the second guide rail 400 is provided on the apparatus housing 100. The first driving member 310 and the second guide rail 400 are both disposed in the inner cavity of the device, and specifically, both disposed on the bottom surface of the inner cavity of the device.

The second guide rail 400 can form a motion constraint on the device housing 210 to enable the device housing 210 to move according to a specific route, specifically, the second guide rail 400 is opened along the moving direction of the first image capturing device 200, so that the second guide rail 400 is in guiding fit with the device housing 210 to enable the device housing 210 to move along the extending direction of the second guide rail 400, that is, to enable the first image capturing device 200 to move and fit with the apparatus housing 100.

Further, the first camera device 200 may further include a first guide rail 290, and the first guide rail 290 is disposed on the device housing 210. The first rail 290 is also opened in the moving direction of the first photographing device 200 so that the first photographing device 200 can be guided to be engaged with the second rail 400 through the first rail 290.

In an alternative embodiment, one of the first rail 290 and the second rail 400 may be provided with a protruding strip, and the other may be provided with a groove, for example, a groove is formed on the first rail 290, and a protruding strip is formed on the second rail 400, and the first camera device 200 is guided and matched with the second rail 400 through the protruding strip and the groove.

More specifically, the device housing 210 may be a rectangular parallelepiped, and the number of the first guide rails 290 is four, and the first guide rails are respectively disposed at four corners of the device housing 210. And the second guide rails 400 are also four in total and correspond in position to the first guide rails 290, so that the integrally formed concavo-convex fitting is more stable.

More specifically, a circuit board may be disposed on the device housing 100 and in the inner cavity of the device, and the function module 500 is disposed on the circuit board, so that the device housing 100 serves as a carrier of the function module 500, and meanwhile, the circuit board can supply power to the function module 500, so that the function module 500 can complete corresponding functions.

In a more specific embodiment, as shown in fig. 8, in order to achieve cushioning protection when the first image pickup device 200 moves, the device housing 210 further includes a first damping member 270 and a second damping member 280. First damping piece 270 is located one side towards equipment casing 100 in device casing 210, moves to the second position when actuating mechanism 300 drive first camera device 200 to with the in-process that equipment casing 100 is close to gradually, first camera device 200 and equipment casing 100 direct contact can be avoided to first damping piece 270, and then through the buffering of first damping piece 270, the damage of colliding with can be avoided appearing between first camera device 200 and the equipment casing 100. The second damping piece 280 is arranged on one side, back to the equipment shell 100, of the device shell 210 and is arranged opposite to the first damping piece 270, when the driving mechanism 300 drives the first camera device 200 to move towards the first position and stretches out of the equipment shell 100 through the mounting hole, the second damping piece 280 can avoid collision between the first camera device 200 and the equipment shell 100, and after the first camera device 200 retracts into the equipment shell 100, the second damping piece 280 is located at the position of the opening of the mounting hole, collision of an external object on the first camera device 200 can be avoided through the arrangement, and a protection effect is achieved.

In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 4 and 7, the first image capturing apparatus 200 may further include a lens assembly 220, the lens assembly 220 may be composed of three lenses 221, or may be composed of more lenses 221, where the specific number is determined according to actual conditions, the lens assembly 220 is disposed in the apparatus inner cavity 213, and the lens assembly 220 is disposed between the light entrance region 211 and the photosensitive chip 240, and optionally, in a case that the first image capturing apparatus 200 is in the second position, the lens assembly 220 may be disposed at a distance from the functional module 500, so that the lens assembly 220 may be protected from being scratched when the first image capturing apparatus 200 moves to the first position, and thus the service life of the lens assembly 220 is prolonged. Under the condition that first camera device 200 is in the first position, the ambient light through advancing light zone 211 throws to sensitization chip 240 through lens subassembly 220, and is concrete, and ambient light is when passing through lens subassembly 220, and lens subassembly 220 can adjust ambient light for the light through the light path passageway, the response effect on sensitization chip 240 is better.

In a further alternative, the lens assembly 220 may include at least one lens 221, and in the case that the first image capture device 200 is in the second position, the at least one lens is located between the light entrance region 211 and the functional module 500, or the at least one lens 221 is located within the functional module 500, or the at least one lens 221 is located between the functional module 500 and the photosensitive chip 240. Under this kind of circumstances, the position that sets up of lens is comparatively nimble, can make the setting of lens more various, is favorable to improving space utilization.

As shown in fig. 4, in order to extend the optical path more easily, the orientation of the light entering region 211 and the orientation of the light sensing chip 240 may intersect, and based on this, in this embodiment of the application, the first image capturing apparatus 200 may further include a reflecting element 230, where the reflecting element 230 may be one or more triangular prisms, or may be other types of reflecting devices (e.g., reflecting mirrors), according to actual optical requirements. The reflecting member 230 is disposed in the inner cavity 213 of the device, and specifically, the reflecting member 230 may be fixed in the inner cavity 213 of the device by fastening, such as clipping, bonding, etc. When the first image capturing device 200 is at the first position, the ambient light passing through the light incident region 211 is reflected by the reflector 230 toward the photo sensor 240, and finally projected to the photo sensor 240 to be sensed by the photo sensor 240.

Specifically, the reflector 230 may be installed at a position where the light incident region 211 faces the inner cavity of the electronic device, and in a case where the electronic device includes the lens assembly 220, the reflector 230 may be disposed at a distance from the lens assembly 220, so as to avoid a problem that interference is easily generated when the reflector 230 is assembled with the lens.

Under the circumstances, the ambient light can be reflected to the inside of the first camera device 200 through the reflector 230 and is finally sensed by the photosensitive chip 240, the periscopic light entering can be realized through the structure, and the optical path can be flexibly extended through the positions of the lens assembly 220 and the reflector 230, so that the electronic equipment can shoot objects at a longer distance more clearly. Meanwhile, the periscopic light-entering structure is beneficial to realizing the design of the first camera device 200 towards a thinner direction.

In a further technical solution, the direction of the light entering region 211 may be consistent with the thickness direction of the electronic device, so that the external ambient light of the electronic device may enter the inside of the device housing 210 through the thickness direction of the electronic device, the direction of the photosensitive chip 240 may be consistent with the length direction or the width direction of the electronic device, the width of the electronic device is greater than the thickness of the electronic device, and as described above, the direction of the light entering region 211 intersects with the direction of the photosensitive chip 240, which is more favorable for better prolonging the optical path by fully utilizing the width direction and the length direction of the electronic device with a larger size. Of course, this design is more advantageous for the electronic device to be designed in a thinner direction. It should be noted that the electronic device generally includes a display screen, and the thickness direction of the electronic device is perpendicular to the planar display area of the display screen.

In the embodiment of the present application, under the condition that the first camera device 200 is located at the second position, the functional module 500 is in sealing fit with the avoiding hole 212, and then stray light from other directions can be better prevented from entering the device inner cavity 213, so that the photosensitive effect of the photosensitive chip 240 is affected, and meanwhile, the device inner cavity 213 is also made to be a closed space, dust of the device housing 100 cannot enter the device inner cavity 213, and dust falling from the photosensitive chip 240 is prevented from affecting the shooting effect of the electronic device. Specifically, a seal ring may be disposed between the first image pickup device 200 and an inner wall of the mounting hole.

In this embodiment, the functional module 500 may be an optical functional module, for example, the optical functional module may be a light supplement lamp, and when the electronic device does not shoot a distant object, the optical functional module may supplement light for shooting by the first image capturing device 200. Of course, the optical function module may be a flashlight, thereby illuminating the user at night. Of course, the optical function module is not limited to the fill light, the flashlight, and the like, and may be other types of optical function modules.

Of course, in the case that the functional module 500 is an optical functional module, the device housing 210 includes a first region 250, the optical functional module faces the first region 250, the first region 250 may be an electrochromic region, and when the first region 250 is powered on, the first region 250 is a light-transmitting region, so that the optical functional module can work through the light-transmitting region.
