The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by a person skilled in the art without creative efforts belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

As shown in fig. 1 to 5, an embodiment of the present invention discloses an electronic device, which may include a housing 220, a covering member 210, and a separate camera module 100.

The housing 220 may serve as a base member of the electronic device to provide a mounting base for other components of the electronic device, and the housing 220 may be provided with a first groove 221. Alternatively, the first groove 221 may be disposed on a frame of the housing 220.

The separated camera module 100 can perform a photographing operation and can be separated from the housing 220 to work independently, and specifically, the separated camera module 100 can be received in the first groove 221 through the notch of the first groove 221 or at least partially protrude out of the first groove 221. When the separated camera module 100 is received in the first groove 221, the first groove 221 can limit the separated camera module 100, so that reliable connection between the separated camera module 100 and the housing 220 is realized. When the separable camera module 100 at least partially protrudes out of the first groove 221, it can be separated from the housing 220, and at this time, the separable camera module 100 is entirely located out of the first groove 221 and can perform a shooting operation. Of course, when the separated camera module 100 at least partially protrudes out of the first groove 221, the separated camera module 100 may still be connected to the housing 220, but protrudes relative to the first groove 221, so that at least a portion of itself is exposed, and at this time, the separated camera module 100 may perform a shooting operation.

Optionally, the separated camera module 100 may specifically include a bracket, a camera, a battery, and a first data transmission module. The camera, the battery and the first data transmission module are all arranged on the support, specifically, the battery and the first data transmission module can be arranged on the surface of the support and can also be arranged in the support, and the battery and the first data transmission module can be arranged in the support for better protecting the battery and the first data transmission module. The battery is electrically connected with the camera, so the battery can supply power to the camera, and the camera can work independently. The first data transmission module is electrically connected with the camera, so that data transmission can be carried out between the camera and the first data transmission module. Under the condition that the separated camera module 100 is separated from the housing 220, the camera performs data transmission with the electronic device through the first data transmission module. Specifically, the electronic device is correspondingly provided with a second data transmission module, and under the condition that the separated camera module 100 is separated from the housing 220, the first data transmission module and the second data transmission module perform data transmission, so that data transmission between the separated camera module 100 and the electronic device is realized. In an alternative embodiment, the first data transmission module and the second data transmission module may be wireless transmission modules, such as radio frequency modules, and this structure does not limit the relative positions of the separated camera module 100 and the electronic device, so that it is more convenient for a user to use the separated camera module 100 and the electronic device.

Further, the separated camera module 100 may be provided with a third data transmission module, and when the separated camera module 100 is connected to the housing 220, the camera performs data transmission with the electronic device through the third data transmission module. When the data transmission is realized through the additionally arranged third data transmission module, the reliability of the data transmission is higher. Optionally, the electronic device is provided with a first interface, the first interface may be specifically disposed in the first groove 221, and the second data transmission module includes an electrical connection terminal. Under the condition that the separated camera module 100 is connected with the housing 220, the electrical connection end is plugged with the first interface, so that data transmission between the electrical connection end and the first interface is realized. The plugging mode can ensure that the electric connection end and the first interface are not easy to separate, thereby improving the reliability of the connection of the electric connection end and the first interface.

In another embodiment, the electrical connection terminal and the first interface are both magnetic attraction contacts, and when the detachable camera module 100 is connected to the housing 220, the electrical connection terminal is magnetically connected to the first interface. This connection can simplify the connection between the electrical connection terminal and the first interface, thereby achieving the quick connection between the separated camera module 100 and the housing 220. Optionally, in order to further enhance the reliability of the connection between the electrical connection end and the first interface, both of them may be configured as an annular magnetic attraction point, so as to increase the connection area therebetween, thereby achieving the above-mentioned purpose.

Optionally, the first interface may be a charging interface, and under the condition that the separated camera module 100 is connected to the housing 220, the separated camera module 100 may be in a charging state, so as to ensure the cruising ability of the separated camera module 100, and facilitate subsequent use of the separated camera module 100. Or, the first interface is a data transmission interface, and the data transmission interface can realize data transmission. Of course, the first interface can be used as both the charging interface and the data transmission interface, thereby simplifying the structure of the electronic device. Optionally, the first interface here may be a USB interface, and may specifically be a microsub interface or a Type-C interface, for example.

The covering member 210 is disposed on the housing 220, and when the separated camera module 100 is located in the first groove 221, the covering member 210 covers the first groove 221, and at this time, the covering member 210 can cover the separated camera module 100, so that the separated camera module 100 is in a hidden state; under the condition that the separated camera module 100 is partially located outside the first groove 221, the covering member 210 avoids the first groove 221, and at this time, the covering member 210 may contact with the separated camera module 100, or a certain gap may be provided therebetween, and in this state, the covering member 210 does not affect the movement of the separated camera module 100 relative to the housing 220, so that the separated camera module 100 is convenient to extend out of the first groove 221 or retract into the first groove 221; under the condition that the separate camera module 100 is located outside the first groove 221, the covering member 210 covers the first groove 221, and at this time, the covering member 210 can cover the inner space of the first groove 221, so that the user cannot see the first groove 221 from the external surface of the electronic device.

The electronic device is provided with the covering member 210, and under the condition that the separated camera module 100 is located outside the first groove 221, the covering member 210 can cover the first groove 221, so that the first groove 221 is in a hidden state, and the appearance integrity and the waterproofness of the electronic device are improved.

The covering member 210 may be connected to the housing 220 by a snap-fit connection or may be connected to the housing 220 by a screw connection (e.g., a screw), and meanwhile, the covering member 210 and the housing 220 may have a plurality of mounting positions, so that the position of the covering member 210 relative to the first groove 221 may be changed by detaching the covering member 210. With this structure, the covering member 210 has a state of being connected to the housing 220 and a state of being separated from the housing 220, and when the covering member 210 is separated from the housing 220, the covering member 210 is easily lost. Based on this, the cover 210 can be movably connected with the housing 220, and the cover 210 can be located at different positions relative to the housing 220 by the movement of the cover 210 relative to the housing 220. With this structure, the covering member 210 is always connected to the housing 220, thereby preventing the covering member 210 from being lost, and also allowing a user to more conveniently operate the covering member 210.

In an alternative embodiment, the electronic device may further include a rotating shaft, and the cover 210 is rotatably connected to the housing 220 through the rotating shaft, so that the cover 210 can rotate relative to the first groove 221. When the connection mode is adopted, the covering member 210 can be switched between different states by rotating relative to the housing 220, and the fit clearance between the covering member 210 and the housing 220 can be controlled within a relatively small range, so that the structure can better prevent impurities such as dust, liquid and the like in the external environment from entering the electronic equipment through the clearance between the covering member 210 and the housing 220, and the reliability of the electronic equipment is improved.

Further, when the covering member 210 is rotated to a certain position relative to the housing 220, a surface of the covering member 210 facing away from the first groove 221 may be flush with an outer surface of the housing 220, so that the appearance quality of the electronic device is better.

The rotation of the cover 210 relative to the housing 220 can be manually performed by a user, but the driving error of this implementation is large, and the operation of the electronic device is too cumbersome. Therefore, in other embodiments, the electronic device further includes a first driving mechanism, the first driving mechanism is disposed in the housing 220 and is in driving connection with the covering member 210, and the first driving mechanism can drive the covering member 210 to cover or avoid the first groove 221. The first driving mechanism can output driving force in an electric, hydraulic, pneumatic or other manner, so as to drive the covering member 210 to rotate.

Alternatively, the first driving mechanism may include a driving motor, which may be connected to the rotating shaft described above, so as to drive the covering member 210 to rotate through the rotating shaft. In other embodiments, to simplify the structure of the first driving mechanism, the first driving mechanism may include a torsion spring, the torsion spring is sleeved outside the rotating shaft, one end of the torsion spring is connected to the housing 220, and the other end of the torsion spring is connected to the covering member 210. The torsion spring herein is deformed by a force, and when the force applied thereto disappears, it is restored to be deformed, thereby applying a reaction force to the covering member 210 so that the covering member 210 can be rotated in the reverse direction. Specifically, when the covering member 210 covers or avoids the first groove 221, the torsion spring may be in a natural state, and when the covering member 210 needs to rotate relative to the housing 220, a user may apply an acting force to the covering member 210, so that the covering member 210 rotates relative to the housing 220, and at this time, the torsion spring is deformed under a force, and when the separated camera module 100 reaches a preset position relative to the first groove 221, the user no longer applies an acting force to the covering member 210, and the torsion spring can be deformed again, so that the covering member 210 is driven to rotate reversely. Or, when the covering member 210 covers or avoids the first groove 221, the torsion spring may be in a deformed state, a limiting structure may be provided so that the torsion spring maintains the deformed state, when the covering member 210 needs to rotate relative to the housing 220, the user may release the limitation of the torsion spring, the torsion spring recovers to deform at this time, and then the covering member 210 is driven to rotate until the covering member 210 rotates to a preset position, then the user may apply an acting force to the covering member 210, so that the covering member 210 reversely rotates, until the covering member 210 covers or avoids the first groove 221, the torsion spring receives an external force to deform at this time, thereby preparing for the next rotation of the covering member 210.

When the covering member 210 is connected to the housing 220 in a rotatable connection, a space required for the covering member 210 to rotate is relatively large, and thus the movement of the covering member 210 is easily restricted by other objects. Therefore, to allow the cover 210 to move more flexibly, in other embodiments, the cover 210 may be slidably coupled to the housing 220, and the cover 210 may slide relative to the first groove 221. At this time, the covering member 210 may be switched between different states by moving linearly, and a user may directly apply a force to the covering member 210, and at this time, a movement space required for the covering member 210 is small, so that the movement of the covering member 210 is less likely to be restricted by other objects. Meanwhile, the force required for the user to push the covering member 210 to move is small, so that the operability of the covering member 210 is stronger.

In order to improve the stability of the covering member 210 when sliding, the second groove 222 may be provided on the housing 220, the first groove 221 is opened on the bottom surface of the second groove 222, the covering member 210 may be matched with the second groove 222, and the second groove 222 may limit the position of the covering member 210, so as to prevent the problems of offset and the like when the covering member 210 slides, and improve the stability of the covering member 210 when sliding. Further, one of the second groove 222 and the covering member 210 is provided with a slide groove, and the other is provided with a guide portion, which is slidably fitted with the slide groove. When the covering member 210 slides, the guide portion and the slide groove can function as a guide, thereby further improving the stability of the covering member 210 when sliding. Alternatively, a guide portion or a sliding groove may be provided on both sides of the covering member 210, so that a guide structure is formed on both sides of the covering member 210, resulting in better stability when the covering member 210 slides.

Optionally, in a case where the separated camera module 100 is partially located outside the first groove 221, the top surface of the separated camera module 100 is flush with the notch of the second groove 222, and the surface of the cover 210 facing away from the first groove 221 is flush with the top surface of the separated camera module 100. That is, the notch of the second groove 222 may be flush with the side of the covering member 210 facing away from the first groove 221, so that the covering member 210 does not protrude relative to the second groove 222, thereby preventing the edge of the covering member 210 from scratching a user. Meanwhile, the top surface of the separate camera module 100 is flush with the notch of the second groove 222, so that the edge of the separate camera module 100 can be further prevented from scratching a user. Therefore, the embodiment can improve the safety of the electronic equipment, thereby improving the user experience.

In an alternative embodiment, as shown in fig. 6, the cover 210 includes a main body 211 and a protrusion 212, the protrusion 212 protrudes relative to the main body 211 in a direction away from the first groove 221, the protrusion 212 can be in a position-limited fit with the housing 220, and in a case where the detachable camera module 100 is partially located outside the first groove 221, the main body 211 is at least partially located inside the housing 220. The part of the main body part 211 located in the housing 220 can be shielded by the housing 220, so that the appearance texture of the electronic device is improved; the limited fit of the projections 212 with the housing 220 may more accurately limit the position of the cover 210.

Further, the outer surface of the protruding portion 212 may be provided with an operating portion 213, and the operating portion 213 may be specifically a structure formed by a plurality of protruding strips, so that the user can drive the covering member 210 to slide more efficiently through the operating portion 213.

When the covering member 210 is connected to the housing 220 in a sliding connection manner, the sliding of the covering member 210 may be manually driven by a user, but such a manual driving manner has problems of low precision, poor experience, and the like, and therefore, in other embodiments, the electronic device further includes a second driving mechanism, the second driving mechanism is disposed on the housing 220 and is in driving connection with the covering member 210, and the second driving mechanism can drive the covering member 210 to cover or avoid the first groove 221. The second driving mechanism here may output a driving force in an electric, hydraulic, pneumatic, or other manner, thereby driving the covering member 210 to slide.

Alternatively, the second driving mechanism may include a driving motor, and the driving motor may be connected to the covering member 210 so as to drive the covering member 210 to slide. As shown in fig. 6 and 7, in other embodiments, to simplify the structure of the second driving mechanism, the second driving mechanism may include a bar-shaped elastic member 230, and one end of the bar-shaped elastic member 230 is connected to the housing 220 and the other end is connected to the cover 210. Here, the deformation direction of the elastic strip 230 may be an extending direction thereof, and the elastic strip 230 may be deformed when being applied with a force, and may be restored to be deformed when the force is removed, so that a reaction force is applied to the covering member 210, and the covering member 210 may be slid in a reverse direction. Specifically, when the covering member 210 covers or avoids the first groove 221, the strip-shaped elastic member 230 may be in a natural state, and when the covering member 210 needs to slide relative to the housing 220, a user may apply an acting force to the covering member 210, so that the covering member 210 slides relative to the housing 220, and at this time, the strip-shaped elastic member 230 is deformed under a force until the separated camera module 100 reaches a preset position relative to the first groove 221, and when the user no longer applies the acting force to the covering member 210, the strip-shaped elastic member 230 may be deformed again, so as to drive the covering member 210 to slide reversely. Or, when the covering member 210 covers or avoids the first groove 221, the strip-shaped elastic member 230 may be in a deformed state, a limiting structure may be provided to enable the strip-shaped elastic member 230 to maintain the deformed state, when the covering member 210 needs to slide relative to the housing 220, a user may release the limiting of the strip-shaped elastic member 230, at this time, the strip-shaped elastic member 230 recovers to deform, and further drives the covering member 210 to slide until the covering member 210 slides to a preset position, and then the user may apply an acting force to the covering member 210 to enable the covering member 210 to slide reversely until the separated camera module 100 reaches the preset position relative to the first groove 221, at this time, the strip-shaped elastic member 230 is deformed by the external force, so as to prepare for the next sliding of the covering member 210.

Alternatively, the strip-shaped elastic member 230 may be a spring, an elastic rope, or other strip-shaped members with elasticity, which is not limited by the embodiment of the present invention.

Optionally, the magnetic attraction part can be arranged on the surface of the bracket or arranged in the bracket; the magnetic part can be a permanent magnet, and can adopt a sheet structure to improve the magnetic effect. After the separated camera module 100 is separated from the housing 220, the user can fix the separated camera module 100 on any external component (e.g., an iron plate) with magnetic conductivity through the magnetic attraction portion, so as to better maintain the relative position between the camera and the user. The magnetic connection mode enables a user to fix the separated camera module 100 more quickly, and meanwhile, the connection mode has less limitation on the structure of external parts, so that more selectable schemes are provided for the fixed position of the separated camera module 100.
