In this embodiment, because the rotating mechanism includes the rotating sleeve and the first rotating shaft accommodated in the rotating sleeve, and the power assembly can drive the first rotating shaft to move, so that the first rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the rotating sleeve, and the first rotating shaft is disconnected from the second rotating shaft, therefore, when the first rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the rotating sleeve and disconnected from the second rotating shaft, the power assembly drives the first rotating shaft to rotate around the first axial direction (the axial direction of the first rotating shaft), so as to drive the rotating sleeve and the second rotating shaft accommodated in the rotating sleeve to rotate around the first axial direction, and further, the second rotating shaft is located at the first position and the second position respectively. Because the second rotation axis is connected with the camera module and is provided with the camera on the camera module, consequently, can drive the camera and rotate between primary importance and second place through power component. Because the camera module rotates to the first position around first axial, the camera lens of camera is towards first object of waiting to shoot, when the camera module rotates to the second position around first axial, the camera lens of camera is towards the second object of waiting to shoot, wherein, first object of waiting to shoot is relative with the second object of waiting to shoot, electric connector is connected with the camera electricity, can supply power for the camera, consequently, under the effect of first rotation axis and electric connector, can make same camera can shoot respectively and be located the first object of waiting to shoot and the second object of waiting to shoot of relative side. Thus, when the camera device is applied to the electronic equipment, obviously, the same camera can be used for shooting both a first object to be shot positioned on a first side of the electronic equipment and a second object to be shot positioned on a second side of the electronic equipment, which is opposite to the first side. In general, one camera may serve as both a front camera and a rear camera of the electronic device. Therefore, the situation that the electronic equipment needs to be provided with at least two different cameras simultaneously to meet the functional requirements of the front camera and the rear camera is avoided, and the manufacturing cost of the electronic equipment can be saved.

Because the first rotating shaft and the rotating shaft sleeve are separated from each other and fixedly connected, and the first rotating shaft is connected with the second rotating shaft, the power assembly is also used for driving the second rotating shaft to rotate around the second axial direction (the axial direction of the second rotating shaft) through the rotation of the first rotating shaft around the first axial direction, and further driving the camera module to rotate around the second axial direction, so as to adjust the imaging angle of the first object to be shot or the second object to be shot in the camera.

In the embodiment of the application, because the first axial direction is parallel to the width direction of the device shell, when the electronic device is vertically erected on a desktop, the camera is driven by the first axial direction to rotate up and down along the height direction of the device shell, so that a first object to be shot located on the first side of the electronic device and a second object to be shot located on the second side, opposite to the first side of the electronic device, of the electronic device can be shot. Specifically, it is firstly ensured that the first rotating shaft and the rotating shaft sleeve are in a fixed connection state, and the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft are in a disconnection state, and if the lens of the camera is initially directed toward the first object to be photographed, that is, the camera is in the first position, then the first object to be photographed on the first side of the electronic device can be directly photographed by the camera. Then, when a second object to be shot located on a second side of the electronic device needs to be shot, the camera can be driven to rotate upwards around the first axial direction through the first rotating shaft, and the camera continues to rotate downwards after reaching a high point of the electronic device, so that the camera rotates to a second position, that is, the first rotating shaft drives the camera to rotate 180 degrees, and further a lens of the camera faces the second object to be shot, that is, the camera is located at the second position, and therefore the second object to be shot located on the second side of the electronic device can be shot through the camera. Therefore, the electronic device provided by the embodiment of the application can shoot a first object to be shot on the first side of the electronic device and can also shoot a second object to be shot on the second side of the electronic device through the same camera. In general, one camera may serve as both a front camera and a rear camera of the electronic device. Therefore, the situation that the electronic equipment needs to be provided with at least two different cameras simultaneously to meet the functional requirements of the front camera and the rear camera is avoided, and the manufacturing cost of the electronic equipment can be saved.

In addition, the power assembly can drive the first rotating shaft to move through driving the first rotating shaft to move, so that the first rotating shaft is separated from the fixed connection with the rotating shaft sleeve, and the first rotating shaft is connected with the second rotating shaft. Because the first rotating shaft and the rotating shaft sleeve are separated from each other and fixedly connected, and the first rotating shaft is connected with the second rotating shaft, the power assembly is also used for driving the second rotating shaft to rotate around the second axial direction (the axial direction of the second rotating shaft) through the rotation of the first rotating shaft around the first axial direction, and further driving the camera module to rotate around the second axial direction, so as to adjust the imaging angle of the first object to be shot or the second object to be shot in the camera.

At present, electronic devices generally include a front camera, which is generally used for self-photographing, and a rear camera, which is generally used for photographing a landscape or the like. However, when the electronic device includes both the front camera and the rear camera, the cost of the electronic device is high due to the large number of cameras. Based on this, the present application provides a camera device and an electronic apparatus to solve the above problems.

The technical solution of the present application will be further described with reference to the following embodiments and accompanying drawings.

Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a camera device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, fig. 2 is a partially exploded view of the camera device in fig. 1, fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the camera device in fig. 1 (the first rotation shaft is fixedly connected to the rotation shaft sleeve and disconnected from the second rotation shaft), fig. 4 is another cross-sectional view of the camera device in fig. 1 (the first rotation shaft is fixedly connected to the rotation shaft sleeve and connected to the second rotation shaft), and fig. 5 is a schematic structural diagram of a camera module in the camera device in fig. 1 in a first position. Referring to fig. 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, the camera device includes: camera module 1, rotary mechanism 2 and electric connector 3. Wherein, the camera module 1 is provided with a camera 11; the rotating mechanism 2 comprises a power assembly 21, a rotating shaft sleeve 22, a first rotating shaft 23 and a second rotating shaft 24 which are accommodated in the rotating shaft sleeve 22, the power assembly 21 is connected with the first rotating shaft 23, the second rotating shaft 24 is connected with the camera module 1, and the electric connector 3 is electrically connected with the camera 11.

The power assembly 21 is used for driving the first rotating shaft 23 to move relative to the rotating shaft sleeve 22, so that the first rotating shaft 23 is fixedly connected with the rotating shaft sleeve 22, or the first rotating shaft 23 is separated from the rotating shaft sleeve 22; in a state where the first rotating shaft 23 and the rotating shaft sleeve 22 are fixedly connected (see fig. 3), the first rotating shaft 23 and the second rotating shaft 24 are disconnected from each other, and the power assembly 21 is configured to drive the first rotating shaft 23 to rotate around the first axial direction Z1, so as to drive the rotating shaft sleeve 22 and the second rotating shaft 24 accommodated in the rotating shaft sleeve 22 to rotate around the first axial direction Z1, and further drive the camera module 1 to rotate around the first axial direction Z1 between the first position and the second position; when the camera module 1 is at the first position, the lens of the camera 11 faces a first object to be shot, and when the camera module 1 is at the second position, the lens of the camera 11 faces a second object to be shot opposite to the first object to be shot; in a state that the first rotating shaft 23 and the rotating shaft sleeve 22 are separated from the fixed connection (see fig. 4), the first rotating shaft 23 is connected with the second rotating shaft 24, and the power assembly 21 is further configured to drive the second rotating shaft 24 to rotate around the second axial direction Z2 by rotation of the first rotating shaft 23 around the first axial direction Z1, so as to drive the camera module 1 to rotate around the second axial direction Z2, so as to adjust an imaging angle of the first object to be photographed or the second object to be photographed in the camera 11; the first axial direction Z1 is the axial direction of the first rotating shaft 23, the second axial direction Z2 is the axial direction of the second rotating shaft 24, and the first axial direction Z1 is not parallel to the second axial direction Z2.

In the embodiment of the present application, since the rotating mechanism 2 includes the rotating sleeve 22 and the first rotating shaft 23 accommodated in the rotating sleeve 22, and the power assembly 21 can drive the first rotating shaft 23 to move, so that the first rotating shaft 23 is fixedly connected to the rotating sleeve 22, and the first rotating shaft 23 is disconnected from the second rotating shaft 24, when the first rotating shaft 23 is fixedly connected to the rotating sleeve 22 and is disconnected from the second rotating shaft 24, the power assembly 21 can drive the first rotating shaft 23 to rotate around the first axial direction Z1 (the axial direction of the first rotating shaft 23) to drive the rotating sleeve 22 and the second rotating shaft 24 accommodated in the rotating sleeve 22 to rotate around the first axial direction Z1, so that the second rotating shaft 24 is located at the first position and the second position, respectively. Because the second rotating shaft 24 is connected with the camera module 1 and the camera 11 is arranged on the camera module 1, the power assembly 21 can drive the camera 11 to rotate between the first position and the second position. Because when the camera module 1 rotates to the first position around the first axial direction Z1, the lens of the camera 11 faces the first object to be photographed, and when the camera module 1 rotates to the second position around the first axial direction Z1, the lens of the camera 11 faces the second object to be photographed, wherein the first object to be photographed is opposite to the second object to be photographed, and the electric connector 3 is electrically connected with the camera 11, so that power can be supplied to the camera 11.

Therefore, under the action of the first rotating shaft 23 and the electric connecting piece 3, the same camera 11 can shoot a first object to be shot and a second object to be shot which are positioned in opposite directions respectively. In this way, when the camera device is applied to an electronic apparatus, it is obvious that both a first object to be photographed located on a first side of the electronic apparatus and a second object to be photographed located on a second side of the electronic apparatus opposite to the first side can be photographed by the same camera 11. In general, one camera 11 may serve as both a front camera and a rear camera of the electronic device. Therefore, the situation that the electronic equipment needs to be provided with at least two different cameras simultaneously to meet the functional requirements of the front camera and the rear camera is avoided, and the manufacturing cost of the electronic equipment can be saved. In addition, the situation that the shooting experience is poor due to the fact that the pixels of the front camera are low in the related art can be avoided by using the camera with the high pixels.

In addition, since the power assembly 21 can also drive the first rotating shaft 23 to move, so that the first rotating shaft 23 is separated from the fixed connection with the rotating shaft sleeve 22, and the first rotating shaft 23 is connected with the second rotating shaft 24, after the lens of the camera 11 faces the first object to be photographed or the second object to be photographed, the power assembly 21 can drive the first rotating shaft 23 to move, so that the first rotating shaft 23 is separated from the fixed connection with the rotating shaft sleeve 22, and the first rotating shaft 23 is connected with the second rotating shaft 24. Since the power assembly 21 is further configured to drive the second rotating shaft 24 to rotate around the second axial direction Z2 (the axial direction of the second rotating shaft 24) by the rotation of the first rotating shaft 23 around the first axial direction Z1 in the state that the first rotating shaft 23 and the rotating shaft sleeve 22 are disconnected from each other and the first rotating shaft 23 and the second rotating shaft 24 are connected, and further drive the camera module 1 to rotate around the second axial direction Z2, so as to adjust the imaging angle of the first object to be photographed or the second object to be photographed in the camera 11. That is, after the lens of the camera 11 faces the first object to be photographed or the second object to be photographed, the lens of the camera 11 can be kept facing the first object to be photographed or the second object to be photographed by separating the first rotating shaft 23 from the rotating shaft sleeve 22, and meanwhile, the imaging angle of the first object to be photographed or the second object to be photographed in the camera 11 is adjusted by connecting the first rotating shaft 23 with the second rotating shaft 24, so that when the camera device is applied to an electronic device, the shooting angle of the electronic device can be more flexible and the shooting effect is better.

In addition, compare in the situation that uses different cameras respectively as leading camera and rear camera on electronic equipment simultaneously, because the camera device that this application provided only uses a camera 11 both to regard as leading camera, also regard as rear camera, and the shared space that a camera was installed in electronic equipment will be less than the shared space of a plurality of cameras, consequently, the camera device that this application provided can also reduce the occupation to electronic equipment installation space for electronic equipment's structure is compacter.

In particular, when the camera device is applied to an electronic device, in a possible implementation manner, an opening penetrating along a thickness direction of the device housing may be first opened on the device housing of the electronic device. The camera device is then mounted in the opening, wherein the direction of the first axial direction Z1 is ensured to be parallel to the width direction of the apparatus housing when the camera device is mounted in the opening. Finally, the camera 11 is electrically connected to the electronic device through the electrical connection member 3.

Next, in a case where the electronic apparatus is vertically standing on a desktop, when a first object to be photographed on a first side of the electronic apparatus needs to be photographed, it is first ensured that the first rotating shaft 23 and the rotating shaft sleeve 22 are in a fixed connection state, and the first rotating shaft 23 and the second rotating shaft 24 are in a disconnection state from each other, and if the lens of the camera 11 is initially directed toward the first object to be photographed, that is, the camera 11 is in the first position, then the first object to be photographed on the first side of the electronic apparatus can be photographed directly through the camera 11. Then, when a second object to be photographed located on a second side of the electronic device needs to be photographed, the first rotating shaft 23 may drive the camera 11 to rotate upward (in an upward vertical direction in fig. 1) around the first axial direction Z1, and after the camera 11 reaches a high point of the electronic device, the camera 11 continues to rotate downward, so that the camera 11 rotates to a second position, that is, the first rotating shaft 23 drives the camera 11 to rotate 180 °, so that a lens of the camera 11 faces the second object to be photographed, that is, the camera 11 is located at the second position, so that the second object to be photographed located on the second side of the electronic device may be photographed by the camera 11. It can be seen that, the camera device provided in the embodiment of the present application, through the same camera 11, can shoot both the first object to be shot located at the first side of the electronic device, and can shoot the second object to be shot located at the second side of the electronic device.

After the lens of the camera 11 faces the first object to be photographed or the second object to be photographed, assuming that an imaging angle of the first object to be photographed or the second object to be photographed in the camera 11 is not ideal, at this time, the power assembly 21 may drive the first rotating shaft 23 to move relative to the rotating shaft sleeve 22, so that the first rotating shaft 23 is separated from the fixed connection with the rotating shaft sleeve 22, and the first rotating shaft 23 is connected with the second rotating shaft 24, and then, the power assembly 21 may continue to drive the first rotating shaft 23 to rotate around the first axial direction Z1, and further, the first rotating shaft 2 drives the second rotating shaft 24 to rotate around the second axial direction Z2, so as to adjust an imaging angle of the first object to be photographed or the second object to be photographed in the camera 11 until the imaging angle of the first object to be photographed or the second object to be photographed in the camera 11 becomes ideal. Therefore, when the camera device is applied to the electronic equipment, the shooting angle of the electronic equipment is more flexible and the shooting effect is better.

For example, assuming that the above-mentioned electronic device mounted with the camera device is vertically standing on a table, continuing to assume that when the lens of the camera 11 faces the first object to be photographed, the imaging angle of the first object to be photographed in the camera 11 is 0 °, in general, the image of the first object to be photographed in the camera 11 is upright, then when the first rotating shaft 23 only drives the camera 11 to rotate 180 ° around the first axial direction Z1 to the second position, so as to make the lens of the camera 11 face the second object to be photographed, the image of the second object to be photographed in the camera 11 will be inverted, therefore, when the camera 11 finishes photographing the first object to be photographed and needs to photograph the second object to be photographed located at the second position, after the first rotating shaft 23 drives the camera 11 to rotate around the first axial direction Z1 to the second position, the first rotating shaft 23 can be driven to move relative to the sleeve 22 by the power assembly 21, the first rotating shaft 23 is disconnected from the rotating shaft sleeve 22, the first rotating shaft 23 is connected with the second rotating shaft 24, and then the power assembly 21 can drive the first rotating shaft 23 to rotate 180 degrees around the first axial direction Z1, so that an image of the second object to be shot formed in the camera 11 is adjusted to be upright, that is, an imaging angle of the second object to be shot in the camera 11 is also adjusted to be 0 degree, and an imaging angle of the second object to be shot in the camera 11 becomes ideal.

Of course, based on different application scenarios, the imaging angle of the second object to be photographed in the camera 11 may also be adjusted to other angles, such as 10 °, 80 °, and the like, which is not limited in this embodiment of the application.

The imaging angle is an angle between an upright direction of the object to be photographed and an upright direction of the camera 11. The above-mentioned fixed connection means: after the object a and the object b are fixedly connected, the object b can be driven to rotate by the rotation of the object a, and the object a and the object b cannot rotate relatively. For example, after the first rotating shaft 23 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft sleeve 22, the rotation of the first rotating shaft 23 can drive the rotating shaft sleeve 22 to rotate without causing relative rotation between the first rotating shaft 23 and the rotating shaft sleeve 22. The above-mentioned separation from fixed connection means: when the object a and the object b are not fixedly connected any more, the object a and the object b can rotate relatively, namely when the object a and the object b are not fixedly connected any more, the object c can rotate under the drive of the object a, and the object b cannot rotate along with the object a at the moment. For example, when the first rotating shaft 23 is separated from the rotating shaft sleeve 22, the first rotating shaft 23 can drive the second rotating shaft 24 to rotate, and the rotating shaft sleeve 22 cannot rotate along with the first rotating shaft 23.

Wherein, camera 11 can set up on camera module 1 through the screw, or set up on camera module 1 through other modes, and this application embodiment does not limit to this. The second rotating shaft 24 may be connected to the camera module 1 through a screw, or connected to the camera module 1 through a glue bonding manner, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. The power assembly 21 may be connected to the first rotating shaft 23 through a coupling, or may be connected to the first rotating shaft 23 through any other possible manner, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application.

It should be noted that, since the camera device of the present embodiment is used in an electronic device such as a smart phone, a tablet computer, etc., the electrical connector 3 is used to electrically connect the camera 11 and a related functional component (such as a motherboard, etc.) in the electronic device, so as to implement the function of the camera 11. The electrical connector may be, for example, a common wire, or an electrical connector such as an FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit). Since the camera 11 needs to rotate around the second axial direction Z2, the electrical connector 3 is preferably a Flexible Printed Circuit (FPC), so that the electrical connector 3 can be deformed arbitrarily, and the situation that the electrical connector 3 is pulled apart during the rotation of the camera 11 around the second axial direction Z2 can be avoided.

In order to fix the camera 11 on the second rotation axis 24 more firmly, in some embodiments, referring to fig. 1, the camera module 1 includes a rotating disc 12, a side of the rotating disc 12 close to the second rotation axis 24 is connected to the second rotation axis 24, the camera 11 is disposed on a side of the rotating disc 12 far from the second rotation axis 24, a central line of the rotating disc 12 is parallel to the second axial direction Z2, and a light advancing axis Z3 of the camera 11 is parallel to a central line of the rotating disc 12. Through setting up carousel 12, can fix for camera 11 and provide a fixed platform on second rotation axis 24, just so, just can be through fixing camera 11 on carousel 12, fix carousel 12 on second rotation axis 24 again, realize fixing the purpose on second rotation axis 24 with camera 11, consequently, can make camera 11 more firm fix on second rotation axis 24.

In addition, since the center line of the turntable 12 is parallel to the second axial direction Z2, and the light incoming axis Z3 of the camera 11 is parallel to the center line of the turntable 12, the light incoming axis Z3 of the camera 11 will be parallel to the second axial direction Z2, so that when the camera 11 rotates around the second axial direction Z2, the imaging angle of the first object to be photographed or the second object to be photographed in the camera 11 can be better adjusted, and the photographing effect of the camera 11 can be better.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 4, 6, 7 and 8, the rotating shaft sleeve 22 includes a first cylinder 221 formed by extending along the first axial direction Z1, and a second cylinder 222 formed by bending and extending from an end of the first cylinder 221 toward the direction of the camera module 1; a toothed ring 2211 is arranged at the opening of the first cylinder 221, the first rotating shaft 23 is sequentially provided with a first bevel gear 231 and a second bevel gear 232 along a first axial direction Z1, the first bevel gear 231 and the second bevel gear 232 are both located in the inner cavity of the first cylinder 221, and the first rotating shaft 23 is slidably arranged in the inner cavity of the first cylinder 221 along a first axial direction Z1; wherein, one end of the second rotating shaft 24 facing the first bevel gear 231 is provided with a third bevel gear 241, and the second rotating shaft 24 is rotatably arranged in the inner cavity of the second cylinder 222; the power assembly 21 is configured to drive the first rotating shaft 23 to slide back and forth along the first axial direction Z1, so that the second bevel gear 232 is engaged with the toothed ring 2211, the first bevel gear 231 is disengaged from the third bevel gear 241, or the second bevel gear 232 is disengaged from the toothed ring 2211, and the first bevel gear 231 is engaged with the third bevel gear 241; the camera module 1 is disposed at a second end of the second rotating shaft 24, and the light inlet axis Z3 of the camera 11 is parallel to the axial direction of the second rotating shaft 24.

In this embodiment, when it is required to drive the camera 11 to rotate between the first position and the second position, since the toothed ring 2211 is disposed at the opening of the first cylinder 221, the first rotating shaft 23 is sequentially disposed with the first bevel gear 231 and the second bevel gear 232 along the first axial direction Z1, the first bevel gear 231 and the second bevel gear 232 are both located in the inner cavity of the first cylinder 221, and the first rotating shaft 23 is slidably disposed in the inner cavity of the first cylinder 221 along the first axial direction Z1, the first rotating shaft 23 can be driven by the power assembly 21 to slide back and forth along the first axial direction Z1, so that the second bevel gear 232 is engaged with the toothed ring 2211, and the first bevel gear 231 is disengaged from the third bevel gear 241, so that when the first rotating shaft 23 rotates around the first axial direction Z1, the first cylinder 221 can be driven to rotate around the first axial direction Z1. Since the second cylinder 212 is formed by bending and extending the end of the first cylinder 221 toward the camera module 1, when the first cylinder 221 rotates around the first axis Z1, the second cylinder 212 is driven to rotate around the first axis Z1. That is, the first rotating shaft 23 can drive the second cylinder 212 to rotate around the first axis Z1, and further, the camera 11 can be driven to rotate between the first position and the second position.

When the imaging angle of the first object to be photographed or the second object to be photographed in the camera 11 needs to be adjusted, the power assembly 21 may drive the first rotating shaft 23 to slide back and forth along the first axial direction Z1, so that the second bevel gear 232 is disengaged from the toothed ring 2211, the first bevel gear 231 is engaged with the third bevel gear 241, then the power assembly 21 may drive the first rotating shaft 23 to rotate around the first axial direction Z1, and further drive the second rotating shaft 24 to rotate around the second axial direction Z2 through the first rotating shaft 23, after the second rotating shaft 24 rotates around the second axial direction Z2, since the light entering shaft Z3 of the camera 11 is parallel to the axial direction of the second rotating shaft 24, the imaging angle of the first object to be photographed or the second object to be photographed in the camera 11 may be adjusted by driving the second rotating shaft 24 to rotate around the second axial direction Z2.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 3, the power assembly 21 comprises: a rotating member 211 and a moving member 212. The rotating part 211 is connected with the first rotating shaft 23, and the rotating part 211 is used for driving the first rotating shaft 23 to rotate around a first axial direction Z1; the moving member 212 is connected to the rotating member 211, and the moving member 212 is configured to drive the rotating member 211 to move back and forth along the first axis Z1, and further drive the first rotating shaft 23 to move back and forth along the first axis Z1.

In this embodiment, when it is needed to drive the camera 11 to rotate between the first position and the second position, first, the moving member 212 may drive the rotating member 211 to move along the first axial direction Z1 toward a direction away from the rotating shaft sleeve 22, so that the second bevel gear 232 is engaged with the toothed ring 2211, and the first bevel gear 231 is disengaged from the third bevel gear 241, and then, the moving member 212 may stop moving, and at the same time, the rotating member 211 drives the first rotating shaft 23 to rotate around the first axial direction Z1, so as to drive the camera 11 to rotate between the first position and the second position.

When the imaging angle of the first object to be photographed or the second object to be photographed in the camera 11 needs to be adjusted, the moving member 212 may first drive the rotating member 211 to move toward the direction close to the rotating shaft sleeve 22 along the first axial direction Z1, so that the second bevel gear 232 is disengaged from the toothed ring 2211, the first bevel gear 231 is engaged with the third bevel gear 241, and then the moving member 212 may stop moving, and at the same time, the rotating member 211 drives the first rotating shaft 23 to rotate around the first axial direction Z1, so that the second rotating shaft 24 rotates around the second axial direction Z2, so as to adjust the imaging angle of the first object to be photographed or the second object to be photographed in the camera 11.

The rotating member 211 may be a rotating motor, and the moving member 212 may be an electric cylinder, a linear motor, or the like. Of course, the rotating element 211 may also be any component capable of driving the first rotating shaft 23 to rotate around the first axial direction Z1, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application. The moving member 212 may also be any other component capable of driving the first rotating shaft 23 to move back and forth along the first axial direction Z1, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 2, the number of teeth of the toothed ring 2211 is the same as that of the second bevel gear 232, and the number of teeth of the first bevel gear 231 is the same as that of the third bevel gear 231. Thus, when the number of teeth of the toothed ring 2211 is the same as that of the second bevel gear 232, the toothed ring 2211 can be better meshed with the second bevel gear 232, and the first bevel gear 231 can be better meshed with the third bevel gear 231.

Further, in order to make the first bevel gear 231 mesh better with the third bevel gear 231, in some embodiments, referring to fig. 3, the first axial direction Z1 is perpendicular to the second axial direction Z2, so that when the first bevel gear 231 meshes with the third bevel gear 231, the meshing area is larger, and therefore the first bevel gear 231 meshes better with the third bevel gear 231.

Meanwhile, when the first axial direction Z1 is perpendicular to the second axial direction Z2, and the camera 11 light inlet axis Z3 is parallel to the second axial direction Z2, the camera 11 light inlet axis Z3 is also perpendicular to the first axial direction Z1, so that when the first object to be photographed and the second object to be photographed opposite to the first object to be photographed need to be photographed respectively by the camera 11, assuming that when the lens of the camera 11 faces the first object to be photographed, an image of the first object to be photographed in the camera 11 is exactly located at the center of the camera 11, when the camera 11 is rotated to the second object to be photographed opposite to the first object to be photographed, an image of the second object to be photographed in the camera 11 is also exactly located at the center of the camera 11, and the angle of the camera 11 does not need to be adjusted again, so the use experience is better.

Further, in order to make the rotation of the rotating-shaft sleeve 22 around the first axial direction Z1 smoother, in some embodiments, referring to fig. 9, the rotating mechanism 2 further includes: and a fixed shaft 25, one end of the fixed shaft 25 is rotatably connected with the rotating shaft sleeve 22, and the central line of the fixed shaft 25 is superposed with the central line of the first rotating shaft 23. Since the center line of the fixed shaft 25 coincides with the first axial direction Z1, the rotating shaft sleeve 22 can rotate around the first axial direction Z1 and the center line of the fixed shaft 25 at the same time, so that the fixed shaft 25 can prevent the rotating shaft sleeve 22 from shaking when rotating around the first axial direction Z1, and the rotating shaft sleeve 22 can rotate around the first axial direction Z1 more smoothly.

One end of the fixed shaft 25 may be rotatably connected to the rotating shaft sleeve 22 through a bearing, or may be rotatably connected in other manners, which is not limited in this embodiment of the application.

In order to better fix the electric connecting piece 3 close to the fixing shaft 25 among the electric connecting pieces 3 on the fixing shaft 25 and avoid the electric connecting piece 3 close to the fixing shaft 25 from tilting and irregular, in some embodiments, referring to fig. 10, a circuit groove 251 is provided in the fixing shaft 25, at least a part of the electric connecting piece 3 is located in the circuit groove 251, and the circuit groove 251 is used for fixing the electric connecting piece 3. Thus, the electric connecting piece 3 close to the fixing shaft 25 can be fixed in the fixing shaft 25 through the circuit groove 251, and the situation that the electric connecting piece 3 close to the fixing shaft 25 in the electric connecting piece 3 is tilted and irregular can be avoided.

In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 10, fixed shaft 25 includes a first half shaft 252 and a second half shaft 253, first half shaft 252 being removably coupled to second half shaft 253, first half shaft 252 and second half shaft 253 enclosing a circuit groove 251. In this way, since the circuit groove 251 is formed by enclosing the first half shaft 252 and the second half shaft 253, and the first half shaft 252 and the second half shaft 253 are detachably connected, when the electrical connector 3 needs to be fixed in the circuit groove 251, the electrical connector 3 close to the fixed shaft 25 can be fixed in the fixed shaft 25 only by detaching the first half shaft 252 from the second half shaft 253, clamping the electrical connector 3 in the circuit groove 251 through the first half shaft 252 and the second half shaft 253, and finally re-fixing the first half shaft 252 on the second half shaft 253.

In other embodiments, the electrical connector 3 may be fixed on the fixed shaft 25 by a positioning column, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

As will be understood from the above description, the electrical connector 3 is electrically connected to the camera head 11, and the camera head 11 is rotated about the second axial direction Z2, so that when the camera head 11 is rotated about the second axial direction Z2 in a predetermined direction, at least a part of the electrical connector 3 will be wound around the outer wall of the spindle sleeve 22 close to the second rotation shaft 24, so that the electrical connector 3 is "tightened", and when the camera head 11 is rotated about the second axial direction Z2 in a direction opposite to the predetermined direction, the above-mentioned at least a part of the electrical connector 3 will be loosened from the outer wall of the spindle sleeve 22 close to the second rotation shaft 24, and there occurs a case where the electrical connector 3 is accumulated in the vicinity of the outer wall of the spindle sleeve 22 close to the second rotation shaft 24, so that the electrical connector 3 is "loosened", and thus, on the one hand, the electrical connector 3 is accumulated in the vicinity of the outer, on the other hand, the electrical connector 3 is easily broken during frequent "tight" and "loose" state changes, which leads to failure of the camera 11.

Based on this, in some embodiments, referring to fig. 11, the camera device further includes an adjustment mechanism 4, the adjustment mechanism 4 including: a moving assembly 41 and a brace 42. Wherein, the moving component 41 is fixed on the camera module 1; the stay 42 is fixed on the moving assembly 41, at least part of the electric connector 3 is wound on the stay 42, the moving assembly 41 is used for guiding the stay 42 to move towards the direction of the second rotating shaft 24 when the stay 42 is subjected to the winding traction force of the electric connector 3, and the moving assembly 41 is also used for driving the stay 42 to move away from the second rotating shaft 24 when the stay 42 is not subjected to the winding traction force, so that the electric connector 3 is spread by the stay 42.

In this way, when the camera head 11 is slowly rotated in the predetermined direction around the second axial direction Z2, at least part of the electrical connector 3 will be slowly wound onto the outer wall of the rotating shaft sleeve 22 close to the second rotating shaft 24, and during the process that at least part of the electrical connector 3 is slowly wound onto the outer wall of the rotating shaft sleeve 22 close to the second rotating shaft 24, since at least part of the electrical connector 3 is also wound onto the stay 42, the stay 42 will be subjected to the winding traction of the electrical connector 3, at this time, the stay 42 will be guided to move towards the second rotating shaft 24 under the action of the moving assembly 41, so that at least part of the electrical connector 3 is wound onto the outer wall of the rotating shaft sleeve 22 close to the second rotating shaft 24, and at this time, the electrical connector 3 is in the "tight" state. When the camera head 11 rotates around the second axial direction Z2 in the direction opposite to the predetermined direction, at least part of the electric connector 3 is loosened from the outer wall of the rotating shaft sleeve 22 close to the second rotating shaft 24, so that the stay 42 is no longer subjected to the winding traction of the electric connector 3. Since the moving assembly 41 is further configured to move the stay 42 away from the second rotation axis 24 when the stay 42 is not subjected to the winding traction force, so that the electrical connector 3 is spread by the stay 42, when the camera 11 rotates around the second axial direction Z2 in the direction opposite to the predetermined direction, the electrical connector 3 is still in the "tensed" state.

That is, whether the camera head 11 rotates in the predetermined direction about the second axial direction Z2 or in the direction opposite to the predetermined direction about the second axial direction Z2, the electrical connection member 3 is in the "tightened" state, and thus, it is avoided that the electrical connection member 3 is not sufficiently arranged and is messy due to the electrical connection member 3 being accumulated near the outer wall of the rotating-shaft sleeve 22 close to the second rotating shaft 24. In addition, because the electric connecting piece 3 is always in the 'tight' state, the situation that the electric connecting piece 3 is frequently pulled off in the process of changing the 'tight' state and the 'loose' state, so that the camera 11 is disabled is avoided.

The moving component 41 may be fixed to the camera module 1 by screws, or may be fixed to the camera module 1 by other methods, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application, and the stay 42 may also be fixed to the moving component 41 by screws or other methods, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

In other embodiments, the moving assembly 41 may also be fixed on the rotating shaft sleeve 22, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 12 and 13, the moving assembly 41 includes: a guide slot 411 and a resilient member 412. The guide slot 411 is fixed on the camera module 1, and the guide slot 411 is used for guiding the stay bar 42 to move back and forth along the guide slot 411; the elastic element 412 is positioned in the guide slot 411, one end of the elastic element 412 is fixed at the first end of the guide slot 411, and the other end of the elastic element 412 is connected with the stay 42; the elastic member 412 is compressed when the stay 42 is subjected to the winding traction force, so that the stay 42 moves in the direction of the second rotation axis 24 along the guide groove 411, and the elastic member 412 rebounds when the stay 42 is not subjected to the winding traction force, so that the stay 42 moves in the direction of away from the second rotation axis 24 along the guide groove 411.

That is, by providing the guide slot 411 and the elastic element 412, the moving assembly 41 can drive the stay rod 42 to move toward the second rotation axis 24 when the stay rod 42 receives the winding traction force of the electrical connection wire, and drive the stay rod 42 to move away from the second rotation axis 24 when the stay rod 42 does not receive the winding traction force, so that the electrical connection wire is spread by the stay rod 42.

The elastic element 412 may be a spring or other possible components, and the elastic element 412 is not limited in this embodiment. In other embodiments, the guide slot 411 may be fixed to the rotating shaft sleeve 22, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 14, the second end of the guide slot 411 is provided with a bump tab 4111, and the bump tab 4111 is used to prevent the stay 42 from colliding with the second end of the guide slot 411. Through setting up crashproof piece 4111, can avoid vaulting pole 42 and the second end of guide way 411 to bump, and then can avoid the second end of guide way 411 to be bumped or the condition that vaulting pole 42 is bumped and is broken to take place.

Wherein, crashproof piece 4111 can bond at the second end of guide way 411 through glue, also can set up at the second end of guide way 411 through other modes, and this application embodiment does not limit to this. The bumper 4111 may be a rubber bumper, or a bumper made of other materials, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 1, the camera device further comprises: adapter 5, 5 one end of adapter is connected with camera 11 electricity, and the other end of adapter 5 is connected with electric connector 3 electricity. Through setting up adapter 5, can play the effect of switching, like this, be convenient for be connected electric connector 3 and camera 11 electricity, perhaps, be connected electric connector 3 disconnection electricity from camera 11, unusual convenient and fast.

In order to make the camera device look neat from the appearance, referring to fig. 15, in some embodiments, the camera device further comprises: the housing 6 is rotated. The camera module 1, the rotating shaft sleeve 22, the second rotating shaft 24, at least part of the first rotating shaft 23 and at least part of the electric connector 3 are positioned in an inner cavity of the rotating shell 6; one end of the first rotating shaft 23 is exposed outside the inner cavity of the rotating housing 6, and one end of the electrical connector 3 is exposed outside the inner cavity of the rotating housing 6; the rotary case 6 is provided with an imaging hole 61 at a position corresponding to the lens of the camera 11.

Thus, the camera module 1, the rotating shaft sleeve 22, the second rotating shaft 24, at least part of the first rotating shaft 23 and at least part of the electric connector 3 can be hidden by the rotating shell 6, and the camera device can be tidy and better in integrity in appearance. In addition, one end of the first rotating shaft 23 is exposed out of the inner cavity of the rotating shell 6, so that the power assembly 21 drives the first rotating shaft 23 to rotate, and one end of the electric connecting piece 3 is exposed out of the inner cavity of the rotating shell 6, so that the camera 11 can be electrically connected with related functional components (such as a mainboard and the like) in the electronic device through the electric connecting piece 3. When the first object to be photographed and the second object to be photographed need to be photographed by the camera 11, the camera 11 can also perform a function of photographing the first object to be photographed and the second object to be photographed, because the camera hole 61 is provided at a position corresponding to the lens of the camera 11 on the rotary housing 6.

The shape of the imaging hole 61 may be a circle, a square, or any other shape, and the shape of the imaging hole 61 is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

To sum up, in the embodiment of the present application, the same camera 11 may be used to shoot both the first object to be shot located on the first side of the electronic device and the second object to be shot located on the second side of the electronic device. In general, one camera 11 may serve as both a front camera and a rear camera of the electronic device. Therefore, the situation that the electronic equipment needs to be provided with at least two different cameras simultaneously to meet the functional requirements of the front camera and the rear camera is avoided, and the manufacturing cost of the electronic equipment can be saved.

In addition, after the lens of the camera 11 faces the first object to be shot or the second object to be shot, the imaging angle of the first object to be shot or the second object to be shot in the camera 11 can be adjusted, so that when the camera device is applied to the electronic equipment, the shooting angle of the electronic equipment can be more flexible, and the shooting effect is better.

In addition, compare in the situation that uses different cameras respectively as leading camera and rear camera on electronic equipment simultaneously, because this application embodiment only uses a camera 11 both to regard as leading camera, also regard as rear camera, and the shared space that a camera was installed in electronic equipment will be less than the shared space of a plurality of cameras, consequently, the camera device that this application provided can also reduce the occupation to electronic equipment installation space for electronic equipment's structure is compacter.

Furthermore, when the camera device further includes the adjustment mechanism 4, the electrical connection member 3 is in the "tightened" state regardless of whether the camera 11 rotates in the predetermined direction about the second axial direction Z2 or in the direction opposite to the predetermined direction about the second axial direction Z2, so that the electrical connection member 3 is prevented from being stacked near the outer wall of the rotating-shaft sleeve 22 close to the second rotating shaft 24, and the electrical connection member 3 is not regular enough, which is a messy situation. It is also possible to avoid the electrical connection 3 being frequently snapped during the transition between the "taut" state and the "relaxed" state, so that the camera 11 fails.

The embodiment of the application also provides electronic equipment provided with the camera device based on the camera device shown in the figures 1 to 15. Fig. 16 is a schematic structural diagram of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application. Referring to fig. 16, the electronic device includes: the apparatus includes an apparatus case 100, a camera device 200 shown in any one of fig. 1 to 15, and a main board 300. Wherein, an opening 101 is arranged on the device casing 100, and the opening 101 penetrates through the device casing 100 along the thickness direction of the device casing 100; the camera device is disposed in the opening 101, and the first axial direction Z1 is parallel to the width direction of the apparatus casing 100; the main board 300 is electrically connected to one end of the electrical connector 3.

The camera device 200 in this embodiment has the same structure as the camera device 200 shown in fig. 1 to 15, and can bring about the same or similar technical effects, which are not described in detail herein.

Through setting up the camera device in opening 101, and opening 101 runs through equipment casing 100 along the thickness direction of equipment casing 100, can guarantee to realize shooting the first object of waiting to shoot and the second object of waiting to shoot that is located the relative both sides of electronic equipment through driving camera 11 and rotate in opening 101, through being connected mainboard 300 and electric connector 3's one end electricity, can be for camera 11 power supply.

In the implementation of the present application, since the first axial direction Z1 is parallel to the width direction of the device housing 100, when the electronic device is vertically standing on a desktop, the first axial direction Z1 drives the camera 11 to rotate up and down along the height direction of the device housing 100, so as to capture a first object to be captured located on a first side of the electronic device and a second object to be captured located on a second side of the electronic device opposite to the first side of the electronic device. Specifically, first, it is ensured that the first rotating shaft 23 and the rotating shaft sleeve 22 are in a fixed connection state, and the first rotating shaft 23 and the second rotating shaft 24 are in a disconnection state from each other, and if the lens of the camera 11 is initially directed toward the first object to be photographed, that is, the camera 11 is in the first position, then the first object to be photographed on the first side of the electronic apparatus can be photographed directly through the camera 11. Then, when a second object to be photographed located on a second side of the electronic device needs to be photographed, the first rotating shaft 23 may drive the camera 11 to rotate upward (in a vertical upward direction in fig. 16) around the first axial direction Z1, and after the camera 11 reaches a high point of the electronic device, the camera 11 continues to rotate downward, so that the camera 11 rotates to a second position, that is, the first rotating shaft 23 drives the camera 11 to rotate 180 °, so that a lens of the camera 11 faces the second object to be photographed, that is, the camera 11 is located at the second position, so that the second object to be photographed located on the second side of the electronic device may be photographed by the camera 11.
