For the housing 11, a partial area near an edge of the housing 11 is defined as a top area 111, and the edge is defined as a top side 112. In the top area 111 of the housing 11, a carrier member 13 is provided, and the camera module 12 is provided on the carrier member 13. In one embodiment, an area may be provided inside the housing 11 for accommodating the carrier part 13. In particular, a receiving cavity 113 may be provided at the top area 111 of the housing 11, the receiving cavity 113 being capable of receiving the carrier 13. Also, an opening 1131 may be provided on the accommodating chamber 113 for the carrier 13 to ascend or descend through the opening 1131. For the bearing part 13, a groove 131 penetrating the bearing part 13 may be provided in the bearing part 13 for accommodating the camera module 12, and the camera module 12 may be turned inside the groove 131.

The lifting member 14 is located inside the housing 11, and may be located in the top area 111 of the housing 11 or in any other area, which is not limited herein. The lifting member 14 can drive the carrier member 13 to be raised or lowered. For example, the lifting member 14 can drive the bearing member 13 to rise above the top side 112 of the housing 11, or to fall below the top side 112 or flush with the top side 112. The lifting member 14 is, for example, a screw member or a linearly movable member such as a linear bearing. With respect to the position of the bearing part 13 relative to the accommodating cavity 113, when the bearing part 13 is lower than or flush with the top side 112 of the housing 11, the bearing part 13 is located in the accommodating cavity 113, so that the bearing part 13 is not exposed out of the housing 11; when the bearing part 13 is higher than the top side 112, the bearing part 13 is located outside the accommodating cavity 113, so that the camera module 12 can extend out of the housing 11. In this way, by driving the bearing member 13 with the lifting member 14, the camera module 12 in the bearing member 13 can be driven to be raised above the top side 112 of the housing 11 or lowered below or flush with the top side 112. When the bearing part 13 is lowered to be lower than or flush with the top side 112, the camera module 12 is stored in the casing 11, so that the camera module 12 is not required to be arranged on the front surface of the casing 11, and the screen occupation ratio of the electronic equipment 10 is improved.

The turning member 15 may be disposed inside the housing 11 or inside the bearing member 13. Referring to fig. 1, in the present embodiment, the turning member 15 is located inside the carrying member 13. The turning part 15 is a rotating mechanism and is used for driving the camera module 12 to turn. The turning member 15 is, for example, a cam mechanism, a link-type rotation mechanism, a rack and pinion assembly, and is not particularly limited.

Specifically, the reversing member 15 can reverse the camera module 12 from the first set state to the second set state when the bearing member 13 is extended out of the housing 11. Specifically, the carrying member 13 extends out of the housing 11, and specifically, the camera module 12, into which the carrying member 13 extends, is completely exposed out of the housing 11, and at this time, the camera module 12 can be turned from the first placement state to the second placement state by the turning member 15. The first placement state may be a state before the camera module 12 starts to turn over, and the second placement state may be a state when an angle between the camera module 12 and the front surface of the housing 11 is smaller than 180 degrees. Through utilizing tilting mechanism to drive the upset of module of making a video recording 12, can be so that the contained angle between the front of module of making a video recording 12 and casing 11 is less than 180 degrees to this anterior region that can utilize the module of making a video recording 12 after the upset to shoot electronic equipment 10 need not extra accessory, has improved the availability factor, has made things convenient for user's use. The front area of the electronic device 10 is understood to be the area outside the electronic device 10 that can be photographed by the camera module 12 after being turned over when the electronic device 10 is placed on a desktop. Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic view of the camera module of the electronic device in the second placement state. At this time, the electronic device 10 is in the second placement state, and the area that can be photographed by the camera module 12 is the front area 20 of the electronic device 10.

In one embodiment, the camera module 12 includes two cameras, and by using the two cameras, a larger front area of the electronic device 10 can be captured, which improves user experience. Of course, in other implementations, more than two cameras may be included.

In this embodiment, the turning member 15 moves together with the carrier member 13 during the ascending or descending of the carrier member 13. Specifically, the specific process of the turning component 15 driving the camera module 12 to turn can be as follows:

in the process of the carrier member 13 rising from the preset position, the turning member 15 can turn the camera module 12 from the first placement state to the second placement state.

In the process of the carrier member 13 being lowered to the preset position, the reversing member 15 can reverse the camera module 12 from the second placement state to the first placement state.

The preset position can be considered as the position where the bearing part 13 is located when the overturning part 15 starts to drive the camera module 12 to overturn when the bearing part 13 reaches a certain position in the ascending process; or the position of the bearing part 13 when the overturning part 15 stops driving the camera module 12 to overturn in the descending process of the bearing part 13.

Referring to fig. 1, in the present embodiment, a position sensor 1132 may be disposed inside the housing 11 to determine a moving distance of the carrying member 13 driven by the lifting member 14. Therefore, the position sensor 1132 may be used to determine whether the preset position is reached during the ascending or descending of the carrier 13. The position sensor 1132 is, for example, a hall sensor, and is not particularly limited.

Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic view of a first structure of a flip part in the electronic device of the present application. In the present embodiment, the flipping component 15 is a rack and pinion assembly including a gear 151, a rack 152, and a link 153. On the rack 152, teeth (not shown) for meshing with the gear 151 are provided. The two ends of the connecting member 153 are fixedly connected to the camera module 12 and the gear 151, respectively. In this embodiment, in the process of switching the camera module 12 between the first placement state and the second placement state, the gear 151 and the rack 152 may be engaged with each other, and the rack 152 does not move along with the carrier 13, so that the rack 152 and the gear 151 can move relatively, the gear 151 rotates under the action of the rack 152, and the gear 151 drives the camera module 12 to turn over through the connecting member 153. In some embodiments, a limiting mechanism may be provided on the housing 11 to limit the movement of the rack 152, so that the rack 152 does not move along with the carrier 13 when the carrier 13 is further raised from the preset position or when the carrier 13 is lowered to the preset position.

Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a schematic view of a second structure of the flip part in the electronic device of the present application. Referring to fig. 3 and fig. 4, in the present embodiment, the rack 152 is further provided with a first limiting portion 1521, and the housing 11 is further provided with a second limiting portion 114. The first position-limiting portion 1521 and the second position-limiting portion 114 are, for example, mutually matching projections, and they can abut against each other. In this embodiment, the rack and pinion assembly further includes a resilient member 154 and a compression member 155. The elastic member 154 is, for example, a spring, and the compression member 155 is, for example, a bolt. The rack 152 is connected to one end 1551 of the compression member 155 by the elastic member 154, and the one end 1551 of the compression member is fixedly connected to the carrier 13, so that the compression member 155 can move along with the movement of the carrier 13.

In this embodiment, in the process of turning the camera module 12 from the first placement state to the second placement state, the first limiting portion 1521 of the rack 152 and the second limiting portion 114 of the housing 11 are in a matching state, so as to limit the rack 152 from moving along with the carrier 13. Specifically, during the process of extending the carrier 13 out of the housing 11, the first limit portion 1521 of the rack 152 and the second limit portion 114 of the housing are in abutting fit with each other, so that the rack 152 does not move along with the carrier 13. In the process of turning the camera module 12 from the second placement state to the first placement state, the cooperation of the elastic member 154 and the compression member 155 can restrict the rack 152 from moving along with the carrier 13. Specifically, when the compression member 155 extends out of the housing along with the bearing member 13, the elastic member 154 may be compressed, and during the process of turning the camera module 12 from the second placement state to the first placement state, the compression member 154 generates a thrust opposite to the movement direction of the compression member 155 through the elastic member 154 in the compressed state, so that the rack 152 does not move along with the bearing member 13.

Referring to fig. 3 and 4 in combination, spring 154 also includes an intermediate portion 1541. The intermediate portion 1541 of the elastic member 154 is fixedly connected to the rack 152, one end portion 1542 of the elastic member 154 is connected to the gear 151, and the other end portion 1543 is connected to one end 1551 of the compression member 155. Because the intermediate portion 1541 of the elastic member 154 is fixedly coupled to the rack 152, the elastic member 154 may be considered as being divided into two portions, each of which may be individually compressed or stretched. In this embodiment, a portion between the one end portion 1542 and the middle portion 1541 of the elastic member 154 is a first elastic portion 1544, and a portion between the other end portion 1543 and the middle portion 1541 of the elastic member 154 is a second elastic portion 1545.

Referring to fig. 3, in the present embodiment, the rack 152 may further include a bending portion 1522, and a first end portion 1523 and a second end portion 1524 respectively connected to the bending portion 1522, the middle portion 1541 of the elastic member 154 penetrates through the bending portion 1522 to be fixedly connected to the rack 152, and the elastic member 154 may be divided into a first elastic portion 1544 and a second elastic portion 1545 by fixedly connecting the middle portion 1541 of the elastic member 154 to the bending portion 1522 of the rack 152. Furthermore, the first end portion 1523 is configured to act on the gear 151 to rotate the gear 151. Specifically, the first end portion 1523 is provided with teeth that mesh with the gear 151, and the gear 151 rotates by the meshing. Referring to fig. 3, in the embodiment, two ends of the connecting member 153 are fixedly connected to the camera module 12 and the gear 151, and one end of the connecting member fixedly connected to the gear 151 is also fixedly connected to the bearing member 13, and at this time, the gear 151 may be sleeved and fixed at the end.

The turning part 15 drives the camera module 12 to turn as follows:

referring to fig. 4, in the process of turning the camera module 12 from the first placement state to the second placement state, for example, in the process of continuously raising the carrying member 13 from the preset position, the first limiting portion 1521 of the rack 152 is in a matching state with the second limiting portion 114 of the housing 11, and the rack 152 restricts the rack 152 from continuously moving due to the matching of the first limiting portion 1521 and the second limiting portion 114. Therefore, during the process of the carrier 13 continuing to rise, the rack 152 no longer continues to rise with the carrier 13. At this time, the compression member 155 moves following the bearing member 13 to compress the second elastic portion 1545, and the gear 151 moves following the bearing member 13 to stretch the first elastic portion 1544. In this case, the gear 151 and the rack 152 generate a relative motion, the gear 151 and the rack 152 are engaged with each other, the gear 151 rotates and drives the camera module 12 to turn over, and the camera module 12 turns over from the first placement state to the second placement state. In addition, the length of the teeth on the rack 152 can be set to control the tilting angle of the camera module 12.

Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a schematic view of a third structure of the flip part in the electronic device of the present application. During the process of turning the camera module 12 from the second placement state to the first placement state, for example, during the process of lowering the carrier 13 to the predetermined position, the compression member 155 moves along with the carrier 13, at this time, the second elastic portion 1545 is gradually released from the compression state, the second elastic portion 1545 is compressed, and because the intermediate portion 1541 of the elastic member 154 is fixedly connected with the rack 152, the second elastic portion 1545 generates a pushing force opposite to the moving direction of the carrier 13. In addition, because the gear 151 moves along with the carrier 13, the first elastic portion 1544 of the elastic member 154 gradually retracts from the stretched state, and because the middle portion 1541 of the elastic member 154 is fixedly connected to the rack 152, the first elastic portion 1544 generates a pulling force opposite to the moving direction of the carrier 13. Under the combined action of the pushing force generated by the first elastic part 1544 and the pulling force generated by the second elastic part 1545, the rack 152 does not move along with the descending of the bearing part 13 in the process of descending the bearing part 13 to the preset position. In this case, the gear 151 and the rack 152 generate relative movement, the gear 151 and the rack 152 are engaged with each other, the gear 151 rotates, and drives the camera module 12 to turn over from the second placement state to the first placement state.

Referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a schematic structural diagram of a lifting component of an electronic device according to the present application. In the present embodiment, the lifting member 14 is a motor 141 and a screw assembly 142. The motor 141 and the lead screw assembly 142 may be disposed inside the housing 11. The screw assembly 142 includes a moving part 1421 and a rotating part 1422, and the moving part 1421 is sleeved on the rotating part 1422 and is fixedly connected to the bearing member 13. The motor 141 is connected to the rotating member 1422, and the motor 141 is configured to drive the rotating member 1422 to rotate, so that the rotating member 1422 and the moving member 1421 rotate relatively, and thus the rotating member 1422 can drive the moving member 1421 to move along the axial direction of the rotating member 1422 when rotating, and the moving member 1421 moves to drive the bearing component 13 to ascend or descend.

Referring to fig. 1, a first rail portion 1133 is further disposed in the receiving cavity 113 of the housing 11. The first guide rail portion 1133 is disposed on one side of the opening 1131 far away from the accommodating cavity 113, the second guide rail portion 132 is disposed on one side of the bearing component 13 far away from the opening 1131, the first guide rail portion 1133 and the second guide rail portion 132 can be matched with each other, and in the lifting process of the bearing component 13, the second guide rail portion 132 moves under the limit of the first guide rail portion 1133. Specifically, the first guide track portion 1133 on the accommodating cavity 113 may be a groove, the second guide track portion 132 on the bearing component 13 may be a corresponding guide track, and the guide track of the bearing component 13 extends into the groove on the accommodating cavity 113, so as to limit the guide track of the bearing component 13, thereby improving the smoothness and accuracy of the bearing component 13 in the process of ascending or descending. In other embodiments, the first track portion 1133 may also be a track, and the second track portion 132 is a groove, which is not limited in particular.

In addition, in the accommodating cavity 113 of the housing 11, a guide bar 1134 is further disposed. The guide bar 1134 can limit the position of the carrier 13 during the lifting and lowering of the carrier 13. Specifically, the guide strip 1134 may be disposed at the opening 1131 of the accommodating cavity 113, or in a certain distance from the opening 1131, and the guide strip 1134 may abut against the bearing component 13, so as to limit the ascending or descending process of the bearing component 13, and further reduce the dust, water vapor and the like in the environment into the housing 11, thereby playing a certain waterproof and dustproof role. In one embodiment, the side of the guide strip 1134 opposite to the carrier 13 may be provided with a silicone layer to reduce friction with the carrier 13.

In an embodiment, an angle between the camera module 12 in the first placement state and the front surface of the housing 11 is equal to 180 degrees, and an angle between the camera module 12 in the second placement state and the front surface of the housing 11 is smaller than 90 degrees. The camera module 12 in the first placement state can be regarded as being in a self-timer mode, and self-timer can be performed by using the camera module 12 at this time.

The electronic device 10 may send a first control signal, and the lifting member 14 may drive the carrying member 13 to lift to the first position in response to the first control signal. The electronic device 10 may further send a second control signal, and the lifting member 14 may drive the carrying member 13 to lift to the second position in response to the second control signal. Specifically, the first position and the second position are both above the top side 112 of the housing 11, and the first position is lower than the second position. In the process of raising the carrier member 13 to the first position, the camera module 12 is kept in the first placement state, and at this time, the camera module 12 can be considered to be in the self-timer mode. In one embodiment, the first position may also be considered a preset position. In the process of raising the carrier member 13 to the second position, the reversing member 15 can reverse the camera module 12 from the first placed state to the second placed state. The raising of the carrier 13 from the first position to the second position may be considered as a switch from the self-timer mode to the point-and-read mode.
