For example, when the first electromagnetic component is charged with negative electricity, a magnetic field is generated, and at this time, the first magnetic component and the first electromagnetic component can repel each other, so that the generated repulsive force can drive the second housing 60 to slide along the first direction relative to the first housing 50, and further the camera module 20 slides to the outside of the tablet body 10. When the first electromagnetic component is positively charged, a magnetic field is generated, and at this time, the first magnetic component can attract the first electromagnetic component, so that the generated attraction can drive the second housing 60 to slide along the second direction relative to the first housing 50, and further the camera module 20 slides again to be located inside the tablet body 10.

Referring to fig. 5 to 7 again, in the present embodiment, in order to further limit the sliding position of the camera module 20, so as to ensure that the camera module 20 can directly slide to the outside of the flat plate body 10 under the driving of the second housing 60 and does not continue to slide, a first limiting groove 64 communicated with the first housing 50 is disposed on the second housing 60, a first limiting part 53 is disposed on the first housing 50 corresponding to the first limiting groove 64, and the first limiting part 53 is used for limiting the sliding position of the second housing 60 relative to the first housing 50. Specifically, the first limit groove 64 may be a strip-shaped groove, the first limit part 53 may be a screw, a convex pillar protruding from the second housing 60, or the like, and a sliding stroke of the first limit part 53 on the first limit groove 64 is equal to a moving stroke of the nut seat 43 on the lead screw 42 or a moving stroke of the first magnetic part relative to the first electromagnetic part.

Preferably, the first limit groove 64 may be provided near the slide driving device 40 so as not to affect the arrangement of the camera module 20 and the rotating mechanism 30 provided in the second housing 60.

Referring to fig. 7 to 10, in the present embodiment, in order to facilitate the arrangement of the camera module 20, the rotating mechanism 30, and the first limiting groove 64 on the second housing 60, the second housing 60 may include a first portion 60a and a second portion 60b, the first portion 60a may be connected to the sliding driving device 40, the second portion 60b is provided with the second groove 61, and the rotating mechanism 30 may be provided on the second portion 60 b.

Further, due to the arrangement of the rotating mechanism 30, the camera module 20 can be rotated by the driving of the rotating mechanism 30. In an application scene, when module 20 of making a video recording uses as rearmounted module 20 of making a video recording, if the user puts dull and stereotyped body 10 on desktop or other mesas immediately, and when wanting to shoot and place the article on the desktop, then accessible this moment starts slewing mechanism 30, make slewing mechanism 30 drive module 20 of making a video recording rotate certain angle, thereby make module 20 of making a video recording the shooting direction no longer with place dull and stereotyped body 10's desktop or other mesas parallel, but form certain angle, make module 20 of making a video recording the shooting direction can be towards this desktop or other mesas of placing dull and stereotyped body 10, then module 20 of making a video recording this moment can shoot the article of placing on desktop or other mesas.

In another application scenario, when the user needs to use the camera module 20 as the front camera module 20, the sliding driving device 40 can drive the camera module 20 to slide to the outside of the tablet body 10, and then drive the camera module 20 to switch between different shooting states through the rotating mechanism 30.

Specifically, the different shooting states may include at least a first state and a second state, the first state is a state in which the shooting direction of the camera module 20 is opposite to the display surface of the display screen 11a, the second state is a state in which the shooting direction of the camera module 20 is the same as the display surface of the display screen 11a or forms a specific angle α with the display surface of the display screen 11a, and α is greater than 0 ° and less than 180 °. Preferably, the specific angle α may be 45 °, 60 °, 90 °, 105 °, 135 °, and so on.

Therefore, the tablet personal computer adopting the embodiment utilizes the sliding driving device 40 and the rotating mechanism 30 to respectively drive the camera module 20 to slide and rotate, so that the shooting direction of the camera module 20 can be adjusted according to different use requirements of different users, the adjustment mode is simple and quick, and the user experience is high.

As an alternative embodiment, the rotating mechanism 30 may be a motor, and an output shaft of the motor may be directly connected to the camera module 20 to drive the camera module 20 to rotate. Specifically, the output shaft of the motor and the camera module 20 can be arranged on the same straight line, so that the motor and the camera module 20 can be directly connected conveniently. Preferably, the motor is directly fixed to the second housing 60 by means of screw fixation.
