Electronic device

The present invention relates to an electronic device, and more particularly to an electronic device having a camera module.

Conventional notebook computers are generally equipped with a camera module for videoconferencing or image capture. However, in the conventional notebook computer, the relative orientation between the camera module lens and the notebook screen is fixed. When it is desired to adjust the shooting direction of the lens of the camera module, the upper cover of the notebook computer needs to be pivoted, so that the viewing angle of the screen of the notebook computer is also adjusted, which affects the user's convenience in operation.

The present invention provides an electronic device for solving the problems of the prior art, including a camera module, a support member and a housing. The camera module includes a lens. The camera module is fixed to the support. a window is formed on the surface of the housing, wherein the camera module and the support member are disposed in the housing, the lens corresponding to the window, the support member is in a first orientation and a second orientation relative to the housing Pivot between, thereby adjusting the shooting angle of the lens.

When the electronic device of the embodiment of the present invention is used, when the direction of the lens of the camera module is to be adjusted, only the adjustment lever needs to be moved to achieve the purpose of adjusting the shooting direction. The viewing angle of the screen of the notebook computer does not need to be adjusted at the same time, thereby improving the user's convenience in operation.

Referring to FIG. 3 , the support member 120 includes a first pivoting portion 122 . And a second pivoting portion 123, the first pivoting portion 122 and the second pivoting portion 123 are respectively located at two sides of the support member 120. The support member further includes an adjustment rod 124 formed at an end of the first pivot portion 122.

Referring to FIGS. 2 and 4 , the first pivoting portion 122 and the second pivoting portion 123 are protrusions. The housing 10 includes a first limiting wall 12 and a second limiting wall 13 . The first limiting wall 12 is formed in the second limiting wall 13 , and the first pivoting portion 122 is located in the positioning notch 14 , and the second pivoting portion 123 is located in the positioning In the hole 15. The side of the support member 120 abuts the first limiting wall 12 and the second limiting wall 13 and is closely matched with the first limiting wall 12 and the second limiting wall 13 by the elastic force of the material itself. .

Referring to FIG. 5, a window 16 is formed on the surface of the casing 10, and the screen 11 is located on the same side as the window 16. The camera module 110 and the support member 120 are disposed in the housing 10. The lens 111 corresponds to the window 16. The support member 120 pivots relative to the housing 10 between a first orientation and a second orientation. Thereby, the shooting angle of the lens 111 is adjusted. An opening 17 is formed on the housing 10, and the adjusting rod 124 protrudes through the opening 17 to protrude from the surface of the housing. By adjusting the adjusting rod 124, the supporting member 120 can be in the first orientation and The second orientation pivots.

Referring to Figures 4 and 5, the housing includes a bottom case 18 and a cover plate 19, and the first limiting wall 12 and the second limiting wall 13 are formed inside the bottom case 18, and the window 16 is formed therein. The cover plate 18 limits the first pivoting portion 122 to the positioning notch 14 to prevent the first pivoting portion 122 from falling off the positioning notch 14 .

Referring to FIG. 1, in an embodiment, when the support member 120 is located in the first orientation, an angle θ1 between the photographing direction D1 of the lens and a normal L of the window is +15 degrees. When the support member 120 is located in the second orientation, the angle θ2 between the photographing direction D2 of the lens and one of the normal lines L of the window is -15 degrees. In this embodiment, the angle between the first orientation and the second orientation is 30 degrees, but the disclosure does not limit the present invention, and the angle between the first orientation and the second orientation can be viewed by the situation.
