The camera module 400 is disposed in the first housing 100, the camera module 400 includes a camera 410 and a first transmission assembly 420, and the first transmission assembly 420 is connected to the camera 410. When the camera 410 is in a shooting mode, light passes through the light-passing hole 310 into the camera 410 to facilitate imaging. The first transmission assembly 420 can transmit acting force to the camera 410 so as to drive the camera 410 to move, the movement form of the camera 410 can be moving or rotating, and relatively speaking, the space required by the movement of the camera 410 is smaller.
In an alternative embodiment, the camera 410 may be directly placed on the first casing 100, and the camera 410 may move along the inner surface of the first casing 100, but this way may cause the movement track of the camera 410 to be easily deviated. Therefore, in another alternative embodiment, the camera module 400 further includes a bracket, the camera 410 is disposed on the bracket 426, the bracket 426 is provided with a guide rail, and the first housing 100 is provided with a guide groove, and the guide rail is slidably engaged with the guide groove. In this embodiment, during the movement of the camera 410, the guide rail and the guide groove can limit the movement direction of the camera 410, so as to prevent the movement track of the camera 410 from shifting, so that the camera 410 can face the light passing hole 310 more accurately.
Further alternatively, the bracket 426 may further be provided with a limiting portion, which may be in limiting engagement with the first casing 100, so as to limit the position of the bracket 426, so that the camera 410 is more reliably maintained at the first position or the second position.
The driving mechanism 500 is disposed in the first casing 100, the flexible display screen 300 and the second casing 200 are both connected to the driving mechanism 500, and the driving mechanism 500 drives the flexible display screen 300 and the second casing 200 to move relative to the first casing 100 so as to switch the electronic device between the folded state and the unfolded state. Under the condition that the driving mechanism 500 is in transmission connection with the first transmission assembly 420, that is, under the condition that the driving force output by the driving mechanism 500 can be transmitted to the first transmission assembly 420, the driving mechanism 500 drives the camera 410 to move; in the case where the driving mechanism 500 is disconnected from the first transmission assembly 420, that is, the transmission line between the driving mechanism 500 and the first transmission assembly 420 is disconnected, the camera 410 is in the first position or the second position. Alternatively, the first transmission assembly 420 may be configured as a movable component, and when the first transmission assembly 420 approaches the driving mechanism 500 and establishes a continuous transmission path with the driving mechanism 500, the driving mechanism 500 may drive the first transmission assembly 420 to move, so as to implement power transmission; when the first transmission assembly 420 is far away from the driving mechanism 500 and separated from the driving mechanism 500, the transmission path between the first transmission assembly 420 and the driving mechanism 500 is disconnected, the driving force output by the driving mechanism 500 cannot be transmitted to the first transmission assembly 420, and the first transmission assembly 420 cannot transmit power continuously.
Under the condition that the electronic device is in a folded state, the light-passing hole 310 is in a hidden state, the camera 410 is in a first position, and the flexible display screen 300 blocks light rays from entering the camera 410; under the condition that the electronic equipment is in the unfolded state, the light through hole 310 is in the exposed state, the camera 410 is in the second position, the camera 410 is opposite to the light through hole 310, and light can enter the camera 410 from the light through hole 310.
Under the condition that electronic equipment is in the folded state, camera 410 is in the non-mode of shooing, and the clear aperture 310 that sets up on flexible display screen 300 is hidden, and flexible display screen 300 blocks light and gets into camera 410, and the user can't see clear aperture 310 this moment, and electronic equipment's overall dimension is less, and the part that lies in the electronic equipment surface in the flexible display screen 300 is effective display area, and electronic equipment's screen accounts for than great promptly. Under the condition that the electronic device is in an unfolded state, the driving mechanism 500 drives the flexible display screen 300, the second shell 200 and the camera 410 to move, along with the gradual increase of the effective display area of the flexible display screen 300, the light through hole 310 arranged on the flexible display screen 300 is exposed, when the camera 410 moves to a position opposite to the light through hole 310, light rays penetrate through the light through hole 310 to enter the camera 410, and at the moment, the camera 410 is still in the electronic device, namely, the camera 410 can shoot without extending out of the first shell, which means that under the condition, an opening does not need to be formed in the first shell, so that foreign matters such as water stain and dust can be prevented from entering the interior of the electronic device; meanwhile, the camera 410 is always located inside the electronic device, and when the electronic device falls, the camera 410 can be prevented from being damaged. Therefore, the electronic equipment disclosed by the embodiment of the application can solve the problems that the screen of the existing electronic equipment is small in duty ratio, poor in waterproof and dustproof effects and easy to damage when falling. In addition, under the condition that the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the effective display area of the flexible display screen 300 is large, and the requirement of a user on the large-screen electronic device can be met.
In addition, since the transmission line between the driving mechanism 500 and the first transmission assembly 420 can be continuous or disconnected, the camera 410 can move synchronously with the flexible display screen 300, so as to shorten the time required by the camera 410 to move in place, and meanwhile, the flexible display screen 300 can still move continuously under the condition that the camera 410 stops moving, so that the display area of the flexible display screen 300 can be changed more flexibly. Moreover, the flexible display 300, the second housing 200 and the camera 410 can be driven by the same driving mechanism 500, so that the electronic device has fewer parts and is lower in cost.
In an alternative embodiment, the driving mechanism 500 includes a driving source 510 and a second transmission assembly 520, and the driving source 510 may be an electric motor, an air cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, a piezoelectric ceramic, a shape memory alloy, and the like, wherein: the motor has the characteristics of small volume, high efficiency and convenient control; the air cylinder and the hydraulic cylinder have the characteristics of large output force and stable and reliable performance; the piezoelectric ceramic and the shape memory alloy have the characteristics of green and environmental protection, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific form of the driving source 510. The driving source 510 is connected to the second transmission assembly 520, the flexible display screen 300 and the second housing 200 are both connected to the second transmission assembly 520, and the second transmission assembly 520 is provided with a transmission portion 524, and the transmission portion 524 can transmit power. In the case that the transmission part 524 is connected with the first transmission assembly 420, that is, in the case that a continuous transmission path is formed between the transmission part 524 and the first transmission assembly 420, the transmission part 524 may drive the camera 410 to move; in a case where the transmission portion 524 is separated from the first transmission assembly 420, that is, in a case where a transmission line between the transmission portion 524 and the first transmission assembly 420 is disconnected, the camera 410 is in the first position or the second position.
When the flexible display screen 300 of the electronic device needs to be unfolded, the driving source 510 drives the second transmission assembly 520 to move, and the flexible display screen 300 connected with the second transmission assembly 520 and the camera 410 move together, at this time, the effective display area of the flexible display screen 300 is gradually increased, and meanwhile, in the process of the movement of the flexible display screen 300, the second transmission assembly 520 drives the second housing 200 to slide relative to the first housing 100, so that the distance between the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 is increased; in addition, in the process of the movement of the flexible display screen 300, the camera 410 also moves, until the light through hole 310 is opposite to the camera 410, light rays pass through the light through hole 310 and enter the camera 410, that is, the camera 410 can shoot; when the camera 410 moves to a position opposite to the light-passing hole 310, the transmission portion 524 is separated from the first transmission assembly 420, and at this time, the flexible display screen 300 and the second housing 200 can continue to move, and the camera 410 does not continue to move, so that the state opposite to the light-passing hole 310 is maintained. The second transmission assembly 520 in this embodiment may transmit the power output by the driving source 510 to the flexible display screen 300, the second housing 200 and the camera 410, respectively, and the second transmission assembly 520 serves as an intermediate transmission member, so that the arrangement of the driving source 510, the flexible display screen 300, the second housing 200 and the camera 410 is more flexible.
In an alternative embodiment, the driving source 510 drives the camera 410 to move between the first position and the second position with the transmission portion 524 connected to the first transmission assembly 420, and the camera 410 has a light inlet end. No matter the electronic device is in the folded state or the unfolded state, the flexible display 300 may be always located on one side of the light inlet end of the camera 410, but this arrangement increases the thickness of the electronic device. Therefore, when the electronic device is in a folded state, the light passing hole 310 is located on a side of the camera 410 away from the light entering end, that is, when the overall size of the electronic device is small, the camera 410 is located in a space formed after the flexible display 300 is bent. When the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the light-passing hole 310 is opposite to the light-entering end, and light can enter the camera 410 from the light-passing hole 310. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, the camera 410 is disposed in the space formed by bending the flexible display screen 300, so that the space in the electronic device can be fully utilized, the thickness of the electronic device is relatively thin, and the comfort level when the user holds the electronic device is improved.
In an alternative embodiment, the moving direction of the camera 410 is the first direction, the driving source 510 is provided with an output shaft, the axial direction of the output shaft may be parallel to the moving direction of the camera 410, and the driving source 510 drives the flexible display screen 300, the second housing 200 and the camera 410 to move simultaneously through the second transmission assembly 520, if the setting direction of the driving source 510 is parallel to the moving direction of the camera 410, the driving source 510 will occupy a part of the space in the direction, which will bring great difficulty to the setting of other components such as the second transmission assembly 520. Therefore, alternatively, the axial direction of the output shaft is perpendicular to the first direction, i.e., the arrangement direction of the driving source 510 is perpendicular to the moving direction of the camera 410, and the arrangement position of the driving source 510 can be reasonably arranged, thereby facilitating the arrangement of the second transmission assembly 520 and other components.
In an alternative embodiment, the second transmission assembly 520 includes a first gear 521, a second gear 522 and a transmission belt 523, the transmission belt 523 is provided with a transmission portion 524, the transmission belt 523 is wound around the first gear 521 and the second gear 522 and is engaged with the first gear 521 and the second gear 522, the first gear 521 is connected with the output shaft, the flexible display screen 300 and the second housing 200 are both connected with the transmission belt 523, optionally, a first driving tooth is provided on a side of the flexible display screen 300 facing the transmission belt 523, a second driving tooth is provided on an outer surface of the transmission belt 523, and the second driving tooth is engaged with the first driving tooth, so that the connection between the flexible display screen 300 and the transmission belt 523 is realized. The driving source 510 drives the transmission belt 523 to move through the first gear 521, and the transmission belt 523 drives the flexible display screen 300 and the second housing 200 to move. When the driving source 510 works, the output shaft rotates to drive the first gear 521 to rotate, and the output shaft moves around the transmission belt 523 arranged on the first gear 521 and the second gear 522, so as to drive the camera 410, the flexible display screen 300 and the second housing 200 to move.
