The electronic device provided by the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings through specific embodiments and application scenarios thereof.

As shown in fig. 1 to 4, an embodiment of the present application discloses an electronic device including a housing 100, a pop-up module 200, a separated stylus 300, and a driving mechanism 400.

The housing 100 may serve as a main body portion of the electronic device, which may provide a mounting base for other components of the electronic device. The housing 100 is provided with an opening, and the housing 100 is provided with an opening through which the ejection module 200 can be inserted into and removed from the housing 100. Alternatively, the case 100 may include a bezel, and the opening may be provided on the bezel.

The pop-up module 200 includes a bracket 210 and a functional device provided to the bracket 210, thereby implementing a corresponding function. Optionally, the functional device may include at least one of the camera 220, the fill light, the earphone and the speaker, and of course, the functional device may also include other devices, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application. The pop-up module 200 may be retracted into the housing 100 through an opening provided in the housing 100 or at least partially extended out of the housing 100. Alternatively, when the functional device of the pop-up module 200 includes the camera 220, the pop-up module 200 may implement a photographing function.

The driving mechanism 400 is disposed in the housing 100, the driving mechanism 400 is connected to the pop-up module 200, and the driving mechanism 400 can drive the pop-up module 200 to move relative to the housing 100, so as to achieve the purpose that the pop-up module 200 retracts into the housing 100 or at least partially extends out of the housing 100.

The detachable stylus 300 is disposed on the pop-up module 200, in other words, the detachable stylus 300 can move together with the pop-up module 200, and in the case that the detachable stylus 300 is connected to the pop-up module 200, the pop-up module 200 can drive the detachable stylus 300 to retract into the housing 100 or at least partially extend out of the housing 100. Alternatively, the pop-up module 200 may be provided with a recess in which the separate stylus 300 is at least partially located, and in addition, the separate stylus 300 may be provided to the pop-up module 200 by snap-fitting.

In the electronic device disclosed in the embodiment of the application, the pop-up module 200 and the separate stylus 300 may be housed in the casing 100 together, and when a user needs to use the separate stylus 300, the drive mechanism 400 may drive the pop-up module 200 to at least partially extend out of the casing 100, so as to take out the separate stylus 300, and the user may perform operations such as touch and typing after taking out the separate stylus 300; when the user does not need to use the detachable stylus 300, the detachable stylus 300 may be connected to the pop-up module 200, and even the pop-up module 200 may be driven by the driving mechanism 400 to retract into the housing 100, so that the detachable stylus 300 may be received in the housing 100. Therefore, the electronic device can use the pop-up module 200 to store the separated stylus pen 300, and does not need to separately set a jack for storing the separated stylus pen 300 on the housing 100, so that the appearance integrity of the electronic device can be effectively improved, and meanwhile, the waterproofness of the electronic device can be improved.

In an alternative embodiment, the pop-up module 200 may further include a wireless communication module, the pop-up module 200 is detachably connected to the housing 100, the pop-up module 200 is separated from the housing 100 when the pop-up module 200 at least partially extends out of the housing 100, and the pop-up module 200 is in data transmission with the electronic device through the wireless communication module when the pop-up module 200 is separated from the housing 100. Alternatively, the wireless communication module may be a bluetooth module. In this embodiment, the pop-up module 200 can work independently after being separated from the housing 100, so that a user can take off the pop-up module 200 and place the pop-up module in different positions according to the user's own needs, or the user can hold the pop-up module 200 and flexibly change the distance, angle, etc. between the pop-up module 200 and the user's own body, and data generated when the pop-up module 200 works can be transmitted to the electronic device through the wireless communication module. Therefore, after the structure is adopted, the using mode of the pop-up module 200 is more flexible, and meanwhile, the different pop-up modules 200 can be replaced more conveniently, so that the functions of the electronic equipment are expanded, and the replacement cost of the pop-up module 200 is saved.

The detachable stylus 300 may be always installed on the pop-up module 200, and when a user needs to use the detachable stylus 300, the detachable stylus 300 is connected to the pop-up module 200, so that the user may more conveniently hold the detachable stylus 300 to perform touch, typing, and the like, but when the user wants to separately use the pop-up module 200 and the detachable stylus 300, the detachable stylus 300 is always installed on the pop-up module 200, which may cause certain limitations on the use manner of the pop-up module 200. For example, when the pop-up module 200 includes the camera 220, the camera 220 may not work when the user uses the separate stylus 300, so that the photographing function of the camera 220 and the touch function of the separate stylus 300 cannot be simultaneously realized. In order to enable the pop-up module 200 and the separate stylus 300 to work more flexibly, the pop-up module 200 is detachably connected to the separate stylus 300, and when a user needs to use the separate stylus 300, the user can drive the pop-up module 200 to at least partially extend out of the housing 100 through the driving mechanism 400, in this case, the pop-up module 200 can be separated from the separate stylus 300, and the user can perform operations such as touch and typing after taking out the separate stylus 300, and the functional use of the pop-up module 200 is not affected after the separate stylus 300 is separated from the pop-up module 200. In addition, the detachable stylus pen 300 is detachably connected to the pop-up module 200, so that the pop-up module 200 can be prevented from being damaged due to the falling of the detachable stylus pen 300 when the detachable stylus pen 300 and the pop-up module 200 are detached at the same time, and the condition that the pop-up module 200 cannot be flexibly placed due to the detachable stylus pen 300 can be avoided.

In an alternative embodiment, the bracket 210 has a first surface facing the outside of the electronic device, the detachable stylus 300 is connected to a side of the bracket 210 facing away from the first surface, and the detachable stylus 300 is parallel to the moving direction of the pop-up module 200. In contrast, a large space needs to be reserved in the moving direction of the pop-up module 200 to facilitate the movement of the pop-up module 200, so that when the separate type stylus 300 is arranged in this way, the space around the pop-up module 200 can be fully utilized, and the separate type stylus 300 can be arranged conveniently. In addition, when the pop-up module 200 moves relative to the housing 100, the separated stylus pen 300 is not easily touched with the housing 100 and other components, so that the integrity of the components included in the electronic device can be better ensured, and the service life of the electronic device can be prolonged.

Further, one side of the support 210, which is away from the first surface, is provided with a connecting hole 211, the separable stylus 300 is connected with the support 210 through the connecting hole 211, and at the moment, at least part of the separable stylus 300 is located in the connecting hole 211, so that the space occupied by the separable stylus 300 can be reduced by the scheme, and meanwhile, when the electronic device is impacted or collided by the outside, the inner wall of the connecting hole 211 can prevent the separable stylus 300 from swinging to a large extent, thereby improving the reliability of connection between the support 210 and the separable stylus 300. Alternatively, the separate type stylus pen 300 may be detachably coupled to the coupling hole 211 by means of snap, screw, or the like, so that the pop-up module 200 may be mounted to or separated from the separate type stylus pen 300. Relatively speaking, when the connection mode of the clamping is adopted, the clamping structure needs to be arranged in the connection hole 211, the difficulty of processing the clamping structure in the connection hole 211 is high, and the clamping structure can excessively deform along with the increase of the service time, so that the reliable connection between the support 210 and the separated stylus pen 300 is not facilitated. In view of this, the detachable stylus pen 300 may be screwed into the connection hole 211, and the connection structure has the advantages of convenient operation, simple and convenient processing, long service life, and difficult deformation.

In an alternative embodiment, the pop-up module 200 has a central symmetrical structure, and the symmetry line of the pop-up module 200 is parallel to the moving direction of the pop-up module 200, so that the pop-up module 200 can be rotated by 180 ° for use, and the operation direction thereof can be changed, thereby allowing the functions of the pop-up module 200 to be used in a front-up or a rear-up manner. Further, when the functional device of the pop-up module 200 includes the camera 220, the pop-up module 200 can implement both front shooting and rear shooting.

In order to simplify the structure of the driving mechanism 400, in an alternative embodiment, the driving mechanism 400 may include a driving motor 410, a lead screw 420 and a lead screw housing 430, the lead screw 420 is connected with the driving motor 410, the lead screw housing 430 is in threaded fit with the lead screw 420, and the pop-up module 200 is connected with the lead screw housing 430. The driving motor 410 can output torque to drive the screw rod 420 to rotate, the screw rod 420 drives the screw rod sleeve 430 to move, and the screw rod sleeve 430 further drives the pop-up module 200 to move. The rotation of the driving motor 410 can be converted into the movement of the pop-up module 200 by the driving action of the lead screw 420, so that the pop-up module 200 can be driven more efficiently and reliably by the driving motor 410.

Further, the lead screw housing 430 may be provided with a first magnetic member 510, and the pop-up module 200 may be provided with a second magnetic member 520, wherein the first magnetic member 510 is magnetically connected with the second magnetic member 520. At this time, the pop-up module 200 and the lead screw housing 430 can be connected through the first magnetic member 510 and the second magnetic member 520, and such a magnetic connection manner has the advantages of simple structure, convenient operation, and the like, so that the embodiment can reduce the difficulty in assembling and disassembling the pop-up module 200 and the lead screw housing 430, and reduce the cost of the electronic device.

The number of the first magnetic members 510 and the second magnetic members 520 may affect the magnetic attraction force therebetween, so that it may be considered to increase the number of the first magnetic members 510 and the second magnetic members 520 to increase the magnetic attraction force, thereby further improving the connection strength between the pop-up module 200 and the lead screw housing 430. Alternatively, the number of the first magnetic members 510 and the second magnetic members 520 is two, and the two first magnetic members 510 and the two second magnetic members 520 are arranged in a one-to-one manner.

The first magnetic member 510 and the second magnetic member 520 may be permanent magnets, or at least one of the first magnetic member 510 and the second magnetic member 520 is an electromagnetic member, and at this time, by reducing the current in the electromagnetic member, the magnetic attraction between the first magnetic member 510 and the second magnetic member 520 is weakened, so that the difficulty in detaching the pop-up module 200 and the lead screw sleeve 430 is reduced; on the contrary, when the pop-up module 200 is connected to the lead screw housing 430, the current in the electromagnetic element is increased, so that the magnetic attraction between the first magnetic element 510 and the second magnetic element 520 is increased, thereby reducing the difficulty in mounting the pop-up module 200 and the lead screw housing 430.

The screw sleeve 430 and the pop-up module 200 may be connected through the first magnetic member 510 and the second magnetic member 520, and the first magnetic member 510 and the second magnetic member 520 may be arranged side by side, but in this way, the screw sleeve 430 needs to be arranged side by side with one end of the pop-up module 200, which further reduces the connection area between the two, and is not beneficial to ensuring the connection strength between the two. In view of this, in other embodiments, the bracket 210 of the pop-up module 200 has the aforementioned first surface, the second magnetic member 520 is disposed at an end of the bracket 210 facing away from the first surface, and the second magnetic member 520 is opposite to the first magnetic member 510. At this time, the lead screw housing 430 may be opposite to the pop-up module 200, and the connection area between the two may be increased appropriately, and at the same time, the connection area between the first magnetic member 510 and the second magnetic member 520 may also be increased appropriately, so that the magnetic attraction between the first magnetic member 510 and the second magnetic member 520 is enhanced, thereby improving the reliability of the magnetic connection between the pop-up module 200 and the lead screw housing 430.

Optionally, an end of the bracket 210 facing away from the first surface may be provided with a receiving groove 212, and the second magnetic element 520 is at least partially located in the receiving groove 212, so as to reduce the space occupied by the second magnetic element 520.

In order to avoid interference between the lead screw 430 and the separate stylus 300, a contact area between the lead screw 430 and the pop-up module 200 may be reduced, but reducing the contact area between the lead screw 430 and the pop-up module 200 may increase a local pressure on an acting surface between the lead screw 430 and the separate stylus 300, so that cracks may be easily generated on the lead screw 430, which may further affect a connection strength between the lead screw 430 and the separate stylus 300, and the lead screw 420 may be difficult or even unable to drive the pop-up module 200 to move through the lead screw 430. Alternatively, the separate stylus 300 may be away from the lead screw housing 430, but this may result in a limited installation position of the separate stylus 300 and may easily interfere with other components. Based on this, in another alternative embodiment, the screw housing 430 is provided with an avoiding portion 431, and the separate stylus 300 is at least partially located in the avoiding portion 431. At this time, the installation positions of the lead screw case 430 and the separate stylus 300 are not substantially affected by each other, so that the structure of the lead screw case 430 may be flexibly set, so that the contact area between the lead screw case 430 and the pop-up module 200 is larger, the connection strength between the lead screw case 430 and the pop-up module 200 is enhanced, and the stability of the lead screw 420 when the pop-up module 200 is driven to move by the lead screw case 430 is improved. Meanwhile, the separate stylus 300 is at least partially located in the escape portion 431, so that the separate stylus 300 is not easily interfered with the lead screw housing 430 and other components.

The structure of the detachable stylus 300 can be designed flexibly, and in an alternative scheme, the detachable stylus 300 includes a plurality of telescopic segments 310, and the telescopic segments 310 are connected in a nested manner in sequence. When the user does not need to use the detachable stylus 300, the pop-up module 200 can be driven by the driving mechanism 400 to retract into the housing 100, and the telescopic sections 310 are sequentially nested and accommodated in the housing 100, so that the occupied space of the detachable stylus 300 can be reduced. Meanwhile, each of the telescopic sections 310 may be arbitrarily expanded, thereby facilitating the user to use the separate stylus pen 300.

The electronic device disclosed in the embodiment of the present application may be a smart phone, a tablet computer, an electronic book reader, a wearable device (e.g., a smart watch), an electronic game machine, and the like, and the specific kind of the electronic device is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

While the present embodiments have been described with reference to the accompanying drawings, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the precise embodiments described above, which are meant to be illustrative and not restrictive, and that various changes may be made therein by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
