All other embodiments, which can be made by one of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments herein without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the present application.
The terms first, second and the like in the description and in the claims, are used for distinguishing between similar objects and not necessarily for describing a particular sequential or chronological order. It is to be understood that the data so used may be interchanged where appropriate such that embodiments of the present application may be implemented in sequences other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, in the description and claims, "and/or" means at least one of the connected objects, and the character "/", generally means that the associated object is an "or" relationship.
The electronic device provided by the embodiment of the application is described in detail below through specific embodiments and application scenes thereof with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Referring to fig. 1 to 9, an embodiment of the present application discloses an electronic apparatus including a first housing 100, a second housing 200, a flexible display 300, a camera module 400, and a driving mechanism 500.
The first housing 100 and the second housing 200 are both base members of the electronic device, and can provide a mounting base for other components of the electronic device. The second housing 200 is slidably connected to the first housing 100, i.e. the second housing 200 and the first housing 100 are capable of relative movement.
The first section of the flexible display 300 is connected to the first housing 100, alternatively, the first section of the flexible display 300 may be connected to the first housing 100 by bonding, etc., which is not particularly limited in the embodiment of the present application. The second section of the flexible display 300 is slidably matched with the second housing 200, that is, the second section of the flexible display 300 and the second housing 200 can move relatively, and the flexible display 300 is provided with a light through hole 310, and the light through hole 310 is mainly used for light passing.
Optionally, the flexible display 300 includes a cover plate, a display main body, and a supporting member, where the cover plate, the display main body, and the supporting member are stacked in sequence, the supporting member is mainly used to support the display main body, the first section of the supporting member and the first casing can be connected in a bonding manner, and the second section of the supporting member is slidably matched with the second casing, and the cover plate is mainly used to protect the display main body, so as to avoid the display main body from being directly exposed outside and damaged.
The camera module 400 is disposed in the first housing 100, and the camera module 400 includes a camera 410 and a first transmission assembly 420, where the first transmission assembly 420 is connected to the camera 410. When the camera 410 is in the photographing mode, light enters the camera 410 through the light passing hole 310 to facilitate imaging. The first transmission assembly 420 can transmit an acting force to the camera 410, so as to drive the camera 410 to move, and the movement mode of the camera 410 can be either movement or rotation, so that relatively less space is required for moving the camera 410.
In an alternative embodiment, the camera 410 may be directly placed on the first housing 100, and the camera 410 may move along the inner surface of the first housing 100, but this may cause the movement track of the camera 410 to be easily shifted. Thus, 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 matched with the guide groove. In this embodiment, the guide rail and the guide groove can limit the movement direction of the camera 410 during the movement of the camera 410, so as to prevent the movement track of the camera 410 from shifting, so that the camera 410 faces the light-passing hole 310 more precisely.
Further optionally, the stand 426 is further provided with a limiting portion, which can be in limiting engagement with the first housing 100, so as to limit the position of the stand 426, so that the camera 410 is more reliably maintained in the first position or the second position.
The driving mechanism 500 is disposed in the first housing 100, and the flexible display 300 and the second housing 200 are both connected to the driving mechanism 500, where the driving mechanism 500 drives the flexible display 300 and the second housing 200 to move relative to the first housing 100 to switch the electronic device between a folded state and an unfolded state. In the case that the driving mechanism 500 is in transmission connection with the first transmission assembly 420, that is, in the case 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 case the drive mechanism 500 is disconnected from the first transmission assembly 420, i.e. in case the transmission line between the drive mechanism 500 and the first transmission assembly 420 is disconnected, the camera 410 is in the first position or in 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, thereby implementing power transmission; when the first transmission assembly 420 is far away from the driving mechanism 500 and is separated from the driving mechanism 500, the transmission path between the first transmission assembly 420 and the driving mechanism 500 is disconnected, and the driving force output by the driving mechanism 500 cannot be transmitted to the first transmission assembly 420, so that the first transmission assembly 420 cannot continue to transmit power.
In the case where the electronic device is in the folded state, the light-transmitting hole 310 is in the hidden state, the camera 410 is in the first position, and the flexible display screen 300 blocks light from entering the camera 410; when the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the light-passing hole 310 is in the exposed state, the camera 410 is in the second position, the camera 410 is opposite to the light-passing hole 310, and light can enter the camera 410 from the light-passing hole 310.
Under the condition that the electronic device is in a folded state, the camera 410 is in a non-shooting mode, the light passing hole 310 arranged on the flexible display screen 300 is hidden, the flexible display screen 300 blocks light from entering the camera 410, at the moment, a user cannot see the light passing hole 310, the whole size of the electronic device is small, and the portions, located on the outer surface of the electronic device, of the flexible display screen 300 are effective display areas, namely, the screen occupation of the electronic device is large. When the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the driving mechanism 500 drives the flexible display screen 300, the second housing 200 and the camera 410 to move, and as the effective display area of the flexible display screen 300 gradually increases, the light passing hole 310 arranged on the flexible display screen 300 is exposed, when the camera 410 moves to a position opposite to the light passing hole 310, light passes through the light passing hole 310 and enters the camera 410, and at this moment, the camera 410 is still in the electronic device, that is, the camera 410 does not need to extend out of the first housing to shoot, meaning that in this case, no opening is needed to be formed on the first housing, so that foreign matters such as water stains, dust and the like can be prevented from entering the electronic device; meanwhile, the camera 410 is always located inside the electronic device, so that the camera 410 can be prevented from being damaged when the electronic device falls. Therefore, the electronic equipment disclosed by the embodiment of the application can solve the problems that the screen occupation of the existing electronic equipment is smaller, the waterproof and dustproof effects are poorer and the electronic equipment is easy to damage when falling. In addition, when the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the effective display area of the flexible display screen 300 is larger, so that the requirement of the 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 may be continuous or disconnected, the camera 410 may move synchronously with the flexible display screen 300, thereby shortening the time required for the camera 410 to move in place, and the flexible display screen 300 may still continue to move in the case that the camera 410 stops moving, so that the display area of the flexible display screen 300 may be changed more flexibly. In addition, the flexible display 300, the second housing 200 and the camera 410 can be driven simultaneously by the same driving mechanism 500, so that the electronic device contains fewer parts and has lower cost.
In an alternative embodiment, the driving mechanism 500 includes a driving source 510 and a second transmission assembly 520, alternatively, the driving source 510 may be a motor, a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, a piezoelectric ceramic, a shape memory alloy, or the like, wherein: the motor has the characteristics of small volume, high efficiency and convenient control; the 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 environment protection, and the embodiment of the application does not limit the specific form of the driving source 510. The driving source 510 is connected to the second transmission assembly 520, and the flexible display screen 300 and the second housing 200 are connected to the second transmission assembly 520, and the second transmission assembly 520 is provided with a transmission part 524, and the transmission part 524 can realize power transmission. 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; the camera 410 is in the first position or the second position with the transmission 524 separated from the first transmission assembly 420, i.e., with the transmission path between the transmission 524 and the first transmission assembly 420 disconnected.
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, 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 moving process of the flexible display screen 300, the second transmission assembly 520 drives the second shell 200 to slide relative to the first shell 100, so that the distance between the first shell 100 and the second shell 200 is increased; in addition, during the movement of the flexible display screen 300, the camera 410 also moves until the light passing hole 310 is opposite to the camera 410, and the light enters the camera 410 through the light passing hole 310, that is, the camera 410 can shoot; when the camera 410 moves to a position opposite to the light through hole 310, the transmission part 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 any more, so that a state opposite to the light through hole 310 is maintained. The second transmission assembly 520 in this embodiment can 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, with the transmission 524 coupled to the first transmission assembly 420, the drive source 510 drives the camera 410 between the first position and the second position, the camera 410 having an optical input. The flexible display 300 may be always located at one side of the light entrance end of the camera 410, regardless of whether the electronic device is in the folded state or the unfolded state, but this arrangement increases the thickness of the electronic device. Therefore, when the electronic device is in the folded state, the light-transmitting hole 310 is located at a side of the camera 410 facing away from the light-transmitting 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 screen 300 is bent. When the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the light-transmitting hole 310 is opposite to the light-entering end, and light can enter the camera 410 from the light-transmitting hole 310. Therefore, in the embodiment of the application, the camera 410 is disposed in the space formed after the flexible display screen 300 is bent, so that the space in the electronic device can be fully utilized, and the thickness of the electronic device is thinner, thereby improving the comfort level when the user holds the electronic device.
In an alternative embodiment, the moving direction of the camera 410 is a first direction, the driving source 510 is provided with an output shaft, the axis 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 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 part of the space in this direction, and this will cause a great difficulty to the setting of other components such as the second transmission assembly 520. Therefore, alternatively, the axis direction of the output shaft is perpendicular to the first direction, that is, the arrangement direction of the driving source 510 is perpendicular to the moving direction of the camera 410, and at this time, the arrangement position of the driving source 510 may 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, where the transmission belt 523 is provided with a transmission part 524, the transmission belt 523 is wound around the first gear 521 and the second gear 522 and meshed with the first gear 521 and the second gear 522, the first gear 521 is connected with the output shaft, the flexible display 300 and the second housing 200 are both connected with the transmission belt 523, alternatively, a side of the flexible display 300 facing the transmission belt 523 is provided with first driving teeth, and an outer surface of the transmission belt 523 is provided with second driving teeth, and the second driving teeth are meshed with the first driving teeth, so as to realize connection between the flexible display 300 and the transmission belt 523. The driving source 510 drives the driving belt 523 to move through the first gear 521, and the driving 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 driving belt 523 around the first gear 521 and the second gear 522 moves to drive the camera 410, the flexible display 300 and the second housing 200 to move. The embodiment of the application adopts the belt transmission mode, has simple structure and stable transmission, and can transmit power between larger interaxial distance and multiple shafts, thereby enabling the electronic equipment to be more stable in the unfolding process.

In the process of moving the driving belt 523, the third gear 421 rotates, and in the case that the third gear 421 is opposite to the light face 523b, the power of the driving belt 523 cannot be transmitted to the third gear 421, and at this time, the camera 410 is at the first position or the second position; in the case that the third gear 421 is opposite to the first gear, the two gears are engaged, so that the power of the driving belt 523 can be transferred to the third gear 421, and the third gear 421 can drive the camera 410 to move between the first position and the second position. In this embodiment, the third gear 421 does not need to be stretched, and can be engaged with and separated from the first transmission gear only by rotating with respect to the first housing 100, so that the structure of the camera module is simpler.
