- the four-bar linkage improves the smoothness of the lifting mechanism's extension and retraction.
- the lifting mechanism compared to a lifting mechanism without a four-bar linkage, where the drive assembly needs to drive both ends of the lifting member separately to raise and lower it relative to the base, the lifting mechanism provided in this application is more labor-saving, convenient, structurally simple, and highly reliable.

- the rotation axis of the turbine relative to the base, the rotation axis of the short rod relative to the base, and the central axis of the first rotating shaft coincide.

- the second end of the elastic element When the turbine rotates in the direction of the first end of the elastic element (i.e., the first rotation direction), the second end of the elastic element also rotates, which in turn pushes the short support rod to rotate, thereby driving the transmission assembly to move and realizing the transmission connection between the turbine and the transmission assembly.
- the gear shift surface of the turbine can contact the first rotating part of the short rod.
- the turbine rotates in the direction of pressing against the first rotating part (i.e., the second rotation direction)
- it pushes the short rod to rotate, thereby driving the transmission assembly to move, thus realizing the transmission connection between the turbine and the transmission assembly.
- the lifting component is in its initial position relative to the base when it is in the retracted state; when it is in the extended state, the lifting component rises to the extended position relative to the base, and the axis of the lifting component in the initial position coincides with the axis of the lifting component in the extended position.
- the axis of the lifting component coincides in the initial position and the extended position, so that the relative position of the lifting component with the base in the initial position and the extended position is not offset in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis of the lifting component. This ensures that the optical axis of the lifting component is not offset, thereby guaranteeing the light quality of the camera module located in the inner space of the lifting component and ensuring the image quality of the camera device.
- the base has a first limiting surface, which is disposed facing the bottom side of the base, and when the lifting member is in the extended state, the second end of the long rod abuts against the first limiting surface; or, the base has a second limiting surface, which is disposed facing the top side of the base, and when the lifting member is in the retracted state, it abuts against the second limiting surface.
- the first limiting surface when the lifting component transitions from a retracted state to an extended state, can limit the long rod, preventing the lifting component from continuing to rise. This avoids over-extension of the lifting component and ensures consistent extension dimensions each time, thereby improving the stability of the electronic device during shooting.
- the first limiting surface is a surface formed by the existing structure within the lifting mechanism. Compared to adding other structures to achieve the limiting effect, the lifting mechanism implemented in this application has low cost and high space utilization.
- the second limiting surface when the lifting member changes from an extended state to a retracted state, can limit the lifting member, preventing it from continuing to descend and thus avoiding excessive retraction that could cause it to collide with other components inside the electronic device. Furthermore, since the lifting member is in the retracted state when the camera device is not capturing images, the second limiting surface can provide support for the lifting member, maintaining the overall structural stability of the lifting mechanism.
- the second limiting surface is formed by the existing structure of the base; compared to adding other structures within the base to achieve the limiting function, the lifting mechanism implemented in this application has lower cost and higher space utilization.
- the periphery of the lifting component is provided with a first clearance groove, and the bottom wall surface of the first clearance groove is set facing the bottom side of the lifting component; part of the base structure is located in the first clearance groove, and the bottom wall surface of the first clearance groove abuts against the second limiting surface when it is in the retracted state.

- this application also provides a camera device.
- the camera device includes a camera module and a lifting mechanism as described above, wherein the camera module is mounted on the lifting mechanism.
- this application also provides an electronic device, which includes a housing and a camera device as described above.
- the housing has a through hole, the camera device is installed inside the housing, and the lifting mechanism of the camera device protrudes from the through hole.
- the lifting mechanism's lifting component can rise to its extended position through the through-hole in the camera trim, increasing the height of the internal space of the lifting mechanism. This allows the lens or part of the lens of the camera module to move away from the photosensitive element, increasing the distance between the lens or part of the lens and the photosensitive element, thus increasing the focal length and enabling telephoto shooting for improved image quality. Furthermore, because the lifting component extends through the through-hole, the light-receiving surface of the camera device protrudes beyond the camera trim and cover, reducing light obstruction and increasing the amount of light entering the camera device, thus improving image quality.
- the top side of the lifting component is translucent, serving as the light-receiving surface for the camera device. After shooting, the lifting component can descend back to its initial position, reducing the overall thickness of the camera device and allowing more of the lifting component to reside within the internal space of the lifting mechanism, which helps protect the lifting component.
- the lifting component within the lifting mechanism experiences a greater driving force and has higher driving efficiency, resulting in a fast, reliable, and smooth lifting process, thus improving the user experience when using electronic devices.

- the long rod 411 may include a first segment 4114 and a second segment 4115 fixedly connected, wherein the first segment 4114 of the long rod 411 is the center line connecting the first connecting hole 4111a and the third connecting hole 4113a, and the second segment 4115 of the long rod 411 is the center line connecting the third connecting hole 4113a and the second connecting hole 4112a of the long rod 411.
- the short rod 421 may include a first segment 4214 and a second segment 4215 that are fixedly connected.
- the first segment 4214 of the short rod 421 is the center line connecting the first rotating hole 4211a of the first rotating part 4211 (as shown in Figure 13A) and the second rotating hole 4212a of the second rotating part 4212 (as shown in Figure 10).
- the second segment 4215 of the short rod 421 is the center line connecting the second rotating hole 4212a and the third rotating hole 4213a of the third rotating part 4213 (as shown in Figure 13A).
- the process of the driving component 3 driving the lifting member 2 to rise and fall relative to the base 1 can also be understood as follows: the first segment 4114 of the short rod 421 is rotatably connected to one end of the fixed rod 16 (the second fixed part 14). When the first segment 4114 of the short rod 421 is subjected to force, the first segment 4114 of the short rod 421 will rotate about one end of the fixed rod 16 (the central axis of the first rotating shaft hole 141 of the second fixed part 14, that is, the central axis of the first rotating shaft 446) as the center of motion.
- the second segment 4115 of the short rod 421 is also slidably connected to the second end 2b of the lifting member 2, which is away from the first segment 4114 of the short rod 421.
- the short rod 421 can drive the second end 2b of the lifting member 2 to move relative to the base 1, so that the second end 2b of the lifting member 2 is displaced in the third direction Z.
- the first segment 4114 of the short rod 421, the connecting rod 43, and the first segment 4114 of the long rod 411 due to the rotatable connection between the first segment 4114 of the short rod 421, the connecting rod 43, and the first segment 4114 of the long rod 411, when the first segment 4114 of the short rod 421 is subjected to force, the force and movement of the short rod 421 are transmitted to the first segment 4114 of the long rod 411 via the connecting rod 43, so that the short rod 421 and the long rod 411 move together. Furthermore, the first segment 4114 of the long rod 411 is also rotatably connected to the other end of the fixed rod 16 (the first fixed part 13). Therefore, when the long rod 411 is subjected to force, the long rod 411 will rotate relative to the base 1 with the other end of the fixed rod 16 as the fulcrum of motion.
- the second segment 4115 of the long rod 411 is rotatably connected to the first end 2a of the lifting member 2, which is away from the first segment 4114 of the long rod 411.
- the long rod 411 can move under the drive of the short rod 421, thereby driving the first end 2a of the lifting member 2 to move relative to the base 1, so that the first end 2a of the lifting member 2 is displaced in the third direction Z.
- the fixed rod 16, the first segment 4114 of the long rod 411, the connecting rod 43, and the first segment 4114 of the short rod 421 are sequentially rotatably connected end to end to form a four-bar linkage.
- the second segment 4115 of the long rod 411 and the second segment 4115 of the short rod 421 can also rise and fall together with the movement of the four-bar linkage, thereby driving the lifting component 2 to rise and fall together.
- a four-bar linkage is used.
- the short rod 421, long rod 411, and connecting rod 43 within the four-bar linkage are interconnected.
- the drive assembly 3 can drive the four-bar linkage to move, enabling the first end 2a and the second end 4112 of the lifting member 2 to rise and fall together, achieving the transition between the extended and retracted states of the lifting mechanism 10.
- the four-bar linkage improves the smoothness of the extension and retraction of the lifting mechanism 10.
- the lifting mechanism 10 compared to a lifting mechanism without a four-bar linkage, where the drive assembly needs to drive both ends of the lifting member separately to raise and lower the lifting member relative to the base, the lifting mechanism 10 provided in this application is more labor-saving, convenient, and has a simpler structure and higher reliability.
- the transmission member 44 can also be seen as cooperating with the base 1 to form a four-bar linkage.
- the drive assembly 3 of this application can move a component (e.g., short rod 421, long rod 411 or connecting rod 43) within the drive transmission component 44, thereby causing the four-bar linkage to move, so as to realize the conversion between the extended state and the retracted state of the lifting mechanism 10.
- the lifting mechanism 10 shown in Figures 14A and 16A is in a retracted state.
- the top side of the lifting member 2 can be exposed relative to the first receiving opening 111a of the base 1 (see Figure 14A for reference).
- the top surface of the first decorative part 22a of the lifting member 2 and the top surface of the light-transmitting part 23 can be flush with the top surface of the second part 1f of the base 1.
- the short rod 421 also drives the first segment 4114 of the long rod 411 to rotate clockwise via the connecting rod 43, so that the first segment 4114 of the long rod 411 drives the second segment 4115 of the long rod 411 to rotate clockwise, thereby driving the first end 2a of the lifting member 2 to generate displacement in the positive direction +Z of the third direction, thus achieving the overall lifting of the lifting member 2.
- Figure 17A is a structural schematic diagram of part of the lifting mechanism 10 shown in Figure 14A in some other states.
- Figure 17B is a structural schematic diagram of part of the lifting mechanism 10 shown in Figure 17A.
- Figure 18A is a side view of the lifting mechanism 10 shown in Figure 17A.
- Figure 18B is a simplified diagram of the lifting mechanism 10 shown in Figure 18A.
- the dotted line indicates the base 1, and in Figure 18B, the dotted line with an arrow indicates the direction of rotation.
- the short rod 421 also drives the first segment 4114 of the long rod 411 to rotate counterclockwise via the connecting rod 43, so that the first segment 4114 of the long rod 411 drives the second segment 4115 of the long rod 411 to rotate counterclockwise, thereby driving the first end 2a of the lifting member 2 to generate displacement in the negative direction -Z of the third direction, thus achieving the overall descent of the lifting member 2, so that the lifting member 2 descends to the state shown in Figures 14A and 16A.
- the first segment 4114 and the second segment 4115 of the short rod 421 are set at an angle, which is beneficial for the short rod 421 to match the motion and space requirements of the four-bar linkage.
- the opening of the first clearance groove 26 of the lifting member 2 can face the long rod 411, and the first clearance groove 26 can accommodate a portion of the long rod 411 in the retracted state.
- the arrangement of the lifting member 2 and the transmission assembly 4 is more compact, which can reduce the size of the lifting mechanism 10 in the third direction Z, thus facilitating the thinner and lighter design of the electronic device 1000.
- the space formed between the two third rotating parts 4213 of the short rod 421 can accommodate at least a portion of the structure of the second end 2b of the lifting member 2, so that the rotational connection between the short rod 421 and the second end 2b of the lifting member 2 is more stable.
- the two sets of transmission components 44 can be connected to the first side 2c and the second side 2d of the lifting component 2, respectively.
- the two sets of transmission components 44 located on both sides of the lifting component 2 can form two sets of four-bar linkages with the base 1.
- two long rods 411 are fixedly connected by a long support rod 412, so that the two second connecting shafts 442 rotatably connected to the first end 2a of the lifting member 2 are located on the same long support rod 412, thereby enabling the two second connecting shafts 442 to move synchronously, and the two long rods 411 to drive the lifting member 2 to move synchronously, realizing the lifting balance of the lifting member 2 on the first side 2c and the second side 2d of the first end 2a, and improving the smoothness of the lifting of the lifting member 2.
- Two short rods 421 are fixedly connected by a short support rod 422, so that the two fourth connecting shafts 444, which are slidably connected to the second end 2b of the lifting member 2, are located on the short balance rod 42, thereby enabling the two fourth connecting shafts 444 to move synchronously, and the two short rods 421 to drive the lifting member 2 to move synchronously, so as to achieve the lifting balance of the lifting member 2 on the first side 2c and the second side 2d of the second end 2b.
- the two sets of transmission components 44 are connected by a long support rod 412 and a short support rod 422, the two sets of four-bar linkages can move simultaneously.
- the first end 2a and the second end 2b of the lifting component 2 can rise and fall simultaneously along the third direction Z, making the overall lifting of the lifting component 2 stable. Therefore, by simultaneously driving the two sets of four-bar linkages, both sides of the lifting component 2 can be driven to rise and fall simultaneously, improving the stability of the lifting of the lifting component 2.
- the drive assembly 3 can apply a driving force F1 to the short support rod 422 (see F1 in Figure 12), and drive the short support rod 422 through the driving force F1 to drive the short rod 421 and the long rod 411, so that the short rod 421 and the long rod 411 together drive the lifting member 2 to rise.
- the short support rod 422 is connected between the two short rods 421, and the first rotating hole 4211a is provided on the top side of the first rotating part 4211.
- the short support rod 422 can be connected to the bottom side of the first rotating part 4211, which is beneficial to increase the distance between the first rotating hole 4211a of the first rotating part 4211 of the short support rod 422 and the short rod 421 in the first direction Y, so as to increase the lever arm of the driving force F1 and thus improve the driving efficiency.
- the drive assembly 3 can apply a retraction force F2 to the short rods 421 on both sides (see F2 in Figure 17B), and push the short rods 421 with the retraction force F2 to drive the short rods 421 and the long rod 411, so that the short rods 421 and the long rod 411 together drive the lifting member 2 to descend.
- the force of the drive assembly 3 driving the lifting member 2 to extend and retract can be applied to the short rod 421, the long rod 411, or the short support rod 422, etc.
- the driving force F1 of the drive assembly 3 is applied to the short support rod 422 and the retraction force F2 of the drive assembly 3 is applied to the short rod 421 for illustration.
- the object and specific location of the force of the drive assembly 3 are not strictly limited.
- Figure 19 is a schematic diagram of the lifting mechanism 10 shown in Figure 16A during the lifting process.
- the axis of the lifting member 2 in its initial position coincides with the axis of its extended position (see O’ in Figure 18A).
- the axis of the lifting member 2 in its initial position is parallel to the Z-direction.
- the axis of the lifting member 2 coincides with the initial position and the extended position, so that the relative position of the lifting member 2 with the base 1 (see Figure 18A) in the initial position and the extended position is not offset in the XY plane.
- This can maintain the center position of the light-transmitting element 23 of the lifting member 2 (as shown in Figure 17A) without offset, thereby ensuring the light-gathering quality of the camera module 20 located in the internal space of the lifting member 2, and ensuring the image quality of the camera device 100.
- the center of the second connecting hole 4112a of the long rod 411 (which can also be considered the axis of the second connecting shaft 442) is parallel to the third direction Z when connected between the extended and retracted positions.
- the line connecting the mating hole 24a of the lifting member 2 (which can also be considered the first end 2a of the lifting member 2) is parallel to the third direction Z when connected between the extended and retracted positions.
- the movement path of the first end 2a of the lifting member 2 during the rising and falling process is an arc, and the arc is centered on the axis of the first connecting shaft 441. Therefore, the first end 2a of the lifting member 2 moves a distance in the first direction Y during the rising and falling process, thereby causing the second end 2b of the lifting member 2 to move a distance in the first direction Y.
- the short rod 421 rotates about the axis of the first rotating shaft 446 (as shown in Figure 17B), causing the movement path of the third rotating part 4213 and the fourth connecting shaft 444 of the short rod 421 to be an arc.
- the movement path of the second end 2b of the lifting member 2 during the rising and falling process is an arc, and the arc is centered on the axis of the first rotating shaft 446. Therefore, the second end 2b of the lifting member 2 has a movement distance in the first direction Y during the rising and falling process.
- the movement paths of the second end 4112 of the long rod 411 and the second connecting shaft 442 are not aligned with the center of the movement paths of the third rotating part 4213 (as shown in Figure 17B) and the fourth connecting shaft 444 (as shown in Figure 17B) of the short rod 421.
- This discrepancy in their movements in the first direction Y results in a deviation and asynchrony in the movement of the first end 2a and the second end 2b of the lifting member 2 in the first direction Y during the lifting and lowering process.
- the third rotating part 4213 of the short rod 421 is slidably connected to the sliding groove 25a of the lifting member 2 (as shown in Figure 13A) via the fourth connecting shaft 444.
- the sliding groove 25a can be a straight groove, and its extension direction can be perpendicular to the axis of the lifting member 2. This facilitates the consistency of the lifting height of the first end 2a and the second end 2b of the lifting member 2, thereby improving the stability of the lifting member 2.
- the extension direction of the sliding groove 25a can also be at an angle to the axis of the lifting member 2.
- the sliding groove 25a can also be an arc-shaped groove or a spline curve groove, specifically designed according to the movement path of the fourth connecting shaft 444 during the lifting process of the lifting member 2, as long as the consistency of the lifting height of the first end 2a and the second end 2b of the lifting member 2 can be achieved.
- the lifting member 2 may have a first avoidance groove 26 (as shown in FIG13A)
- the first avoidance groove 26 is used to avoid other structural members, such as the internal structure of the base 1, during the lifting process of the lifting member 2, so as to avoid impact, damage or movement deviation in the first direction Y that affects the lifting accuracy, so as to avoid the lifting member 2 from colliding during the lifting process.
- the first connecting hole 4111a of the long rod 411 in the retracted state, is closer to the top side of the lifting mechanism 10 than the second connecting hole 4112a.
- the position of the first connecting hole 4111a of the long rod 411 remains unchanged, and the second connecting hole 4112a is closer to the top side of the lifting mechanism 10 than the first connecting hole 4111a.
- the transmission assembly 4 can utilize the size of the first rod 411a in the third direction Z when the third rod 411c moves in the third direction Z (that is, the second connecting hole 4112a moves toward the top side of the lifting mechanism 10) during the process of driving the lifting member 2 to rise in the third direction Z. This allows the size space occupied by the lifting mechanism 10 in the third direction Z to be reduced while the movement stroke of the lifting member 2 remains unchanged, which is beneficial to the thin and light design of the lifting mechanism 10.
- the size of the second end 4112 of the long rod 411 in the third direction Z is reduced, making the weight of the long rod 411 lighter, thereby reducing the power consumption required to drive the long rod 411 to move and improving the movement flexibility of the long rod 411.
- the mating hole 24a of the first end 2a of the lifting member 2 can be changed to a groove structure
- the sliding groove 25a of the second end 2b of the lifting member 2 can be changed to a hole structure.
- the second end 4112 of the long rod 411 is slidably connected to the second end 2b of the lifting member 2
- the second rotating part 4212 of the short rod 421 is rotatably connected to the first end 2a of the lifting member 2.
- the groove structure of the first end 2a of the lifting member 2 eliminates the movement deviation of the first end 2a and the second end 2b of the lifting member 2 in the first direction Y during the lifting process, thereby improving the smoothness of the lifting movement of the lifting member 2.
- the transmission assembly 4 can be designed with the length and connection position of the four-bar linkage so that the movement paths of the second end 4112 of the long rod 411 and the second connecting shaft 442 are synchronized with the movement paths of the third rotating part 4213 of the short rod 421 and the fourth connecting shaft 444 in the first direction Y.
- the second end 4112 of the long rod 411 can rotatably connect to the first end 2a of the lifting member 2
- the third rotating part 4213 of the short rod 421 can rotatably connect to the second end 2b of the lifting member 2.

- the magnetic component 52 can be used to generate a magnetic field.
- the magnetic component 52 moves with the movement of the lifting component 2, causing the relative position of the magnetic component 52 and the sensing chip 511 to change.
- the value of the magnetic flux detected by the sensing chip 511 will also change accordingly, thereby realizing the monitoring of the movement process of the lifting component 2 by the detection component 5.

同时,由于依次相连的短杆421的第一段4114、连杆43、长杆411的第一段4114之间的转动连接,在短杆421的第一段4114受力时,短杆421的力和运动经由连杆43传递至长杆411的第一段4114,以使短杆421和长杆411一同运动,并且长杆411的第一段4114还转动连接于固定杆16的另一端(第一固定部13),则在长杆411受力时,长杆411会以固定杆16的另一端为运动支点相对于基座1旋转。其中,长杆411的第二段4115背离长杆411的第一段4114的一端转动连接于升降件2的第一端2a,长杆411能够在短杆421的带动下运动,从而带动升降件2的第一端2a相对于基座1运动,以使得升降件2的第一端2a在第三方向Z上发生位移。

请结合参阅图17A至图18B,图17A是图14A所示的升降机构10的部分结构在另一些状态下的结构示意图,图17B是图17A所示的升降机构10的部分结构示意图,图18A是图17A所示的升降机构10的侧视示意图,图18B是图18A所示升降机构10的机构简图。其中,图18A中点虚线所示为基座1,图18B中带箭头的虚线表示为转动方向。
在本实施例中,如图16A和图16B所示的升降机构10,在短杆421受到前述的驱动力F1时,升降件2相对于基座1上升,升降机构10切换至伸出态。如图17A所示升降机构10所处状态为伸出态,此时,在伸出态下,升降件2的顶侧可以相对于基座1的第一收容开口111a凸出。在一些示例中,升降件2的第一装饰部22a和透光件23可以相对于基座1的第二部分1f凸出,部分第二装饰部22b可以相对于基座1露出。
在一些示例中,如图17B至图18B所示,在伸出态,从朝向第二方向X的视角,短杆421的第一段4114受到逆时针方向的缩回力F2时,短杆421的第一段4114能够沿逆时针方向转动,并带动短杆421的第二段4115沿逆时针方向转动,从而驱动升降件2的第二端2b在第三方向的负方向-Z上产生位移。同时,短杆421还通过连杆43带动长杆411的第一段4114沿逆时针方向转动,以使得长杆411的第一段4114带动长杆411的第二段4115沿逆时针方向转动,从而驱动升降件2的第一端2a在第三方向的负方向-Z上产生位移,从而实现升降件2的整体下降,以使升降件2下降至如图14A、图16A所示的状态。
其中,短杆421的第一段4114和短杆421的第二段4115呈夹角设置,有利于短杆421匹配四连杆机构的运动需求和空间需求。
请再次参阅图12至图13B,示例性的,升降件2的第一避让槽26的开口可以朝向长杆411,且第一避让槽26能够在缩回态收容长杆411的一部分。在本实施例中,在缩回态时,由于升降件2能够通过第一避让槽26避让长杆411,升降件2与传动组件4的排布更为紧凑,能够降低升降机构10在第三方向Z上的尺寸,有利于实现电子设备1000的轻薄化设计。
示例性的,短杆421的两个第三转动部4213之间形成的空间,能够收容升降件2的第二端2b的至少部分结构,以使得短杆421和升降件2的第二端2b的转动连接更加稳定。
一些实施例中,两组传动件44可以分别连接于升降件2的第一侧2c和升降件2的第二侧2d,位于升降件2两侧的两组传动件44能够和基座1组成两组四连杆机构。
在本实施例中,两个长杆411通过长支撑杆412固定连接,使得转动连接于升降件2的第一端2a的两个第二连接轴442位于同一个长支撑杆412上,从而使得两个第二连接轴442能够同步运动,两个长杆411同步驱动升降件2运动,实现升降件2在第一端2a的第一侧2c和第二侧2d的升降平衡,提高了升降件2升降的顺畅性。
两个短杆421通过短支撑杆422固定连接,使得滑动连接于升降件2的第二端2b的两个第四连接轴444位于短平衡杆42上,从而使得两个第四连接轴444能够同步运动,两个短杆421同步驱动升降件2运动,实现升降件2在第二端2b的第一侧2c和第二侧2d的升降平衡。
在本实施例中,由于两组传动件44通过长支撑杆412和短支撑杆422连接,使得两组四连杆机构能够同时运动,在两个短杆421和两个长杆411的共同带动下,升降件2的第一端2a和第二端2b能够沿第三方向Z同时升降,使得升降件2的整体升降平稳。因此,通过同时驱动两组四连杆机构,能够同时驱动升降件2的两侧同时升降,提高了升降件2升降的稳定性。
请参阅图12,一些实施例中,驱动组件3可以将驱动力F1作用于短支撑杆422(请参阅图12中的F1),通过驱动力F1驱动短支撑杆422,以驱动短杆421和长杆411,从而使短杆421和长杆411共同驱动升降件2上升。
其中,短支撑杆422连接于两个短杆421之间,且第一转孔4211a设于第一转动部4211的顶侧,短支撑杆422可以连接于第一转动部4211的底侧,有利于增大短支撑杆422与短杆421的第一转动部4211的第一转孔4211a在第一方向Y上的间距,以增大驱动力F1的力臂,从而提高了驱动效率。
请参阅图17B,一些实施例中,驱动组件3可以将缩回力F2作用于两侧的短杆421(请参阅图17B中的F2),通过缩回力F2推动短杆421,以驱动短杆421和长杆411,从而使短杆421和长杆411共同驱动升降件2下降。
在其他一些实施例中,驱动组件3驱动升降件2伸出和缩回的力可以作用于短杆421、或长杆411、或短支撑杆422等,本申请实施例中仅以驱动组件3的驱动力F1作用于短支撑杆422、驱动组件3的缩回力F2作用于短杆421进行示意,对驱动组件3的作用力的作用对象和具体位置不进行严格限定。
请参阅图19,图19是图16A所示升降机构10在升降过程中的示意图。
一些实施例中,升降件2处于初始位置时的轴线(请参阅图16A中的O),与处于伸出位置时的轴线(请参阅图18A中的O’)重合。其中,升降件2处于初始位置时的轴线平行于Z方向。
在本实施例中,升降件2的轴线在初始位置和伸出位置重合,使得升降件2在初始位置时和伸出位置时与基座1(请参阅图18A所示)的相对位置,在XY平面上无偏移,能够保持升降件2的透光件23(如图17A所示)的中心位置无偏移,从而保证了位于升降件2的内部空间的摄像头模组20的采光质量,以确保摄像头装置100的摄像质量。
其中,长杆411的第二连接孔4112a的中心(也可以认为第二连接轴442的轴心)在伸出位置与缩回位置的连线,平行于第三方向Z。换言之,升降件2的配合孔24a(也可以认为升降件2的第一端2a)在伸出位置与缩回位置的连线,平行于第三方向Z。其中,升降件2在初始位置和伸出位置转换的过程中,长杆411以第一连接轴441的轴线为转动轴线转动,使得长杆411的第二端4112和第二连接轴442的运动路径为圆弧。换言之,升降件2的第一端2a在上升和下降的过程中的运动路径为圆弧,且圆弧以第一连接轴441的轴线为圆心。因此,升降件2的第一端2a在上升和下降的过程中在第一方向Y上存在运动距离,从而带动升降件2的第二端2b在第一方向Y上存在运动距离。
其中,升降件2在初始位置和伸出位置转换的过程中,短杆421(如图17B所示)以第一转轴446(如图17B所示)的轴线为转动轴线转动,使短杆421的第三转动部4213和第四连接轴444的运动路径为圆弧。换言之,升降件2的第二端2b在上升和下降的过程中的运动路径为圆弧,且圆弧以第一转轴446的轴线为圆心。因此,升降件2的第二端2b在上升和下降的过程中在第一方向Y上存在运动距离。
其中,长杆411的第二端4112和第二连接轴442的运动路径、与短杆421的第三转动部4213(如图17B所示)和第四连接轴444(如图17B所示)的运动路径的圆心不一致,两者在第一方向Y上的运动不一致,使得在上升和下降的过程中,升降件2的第一端2a和第二端2b在第一方向Y上的运动偏差、不同步。在本实施例中,短杆421的第三转动部4213通过第四连接轴444滑动连接于升降件2的滑动槽25a(如图13A所示),以在升降件2的升降过程中,使第四连接轴444能够在滑动槽25a内运动且该运动包括沿第一方向Y的位移,从而消除升降件2的第一端2a和第二端2b在升降过程中在第一方向Y上的运动偏差,提高了升降件2的升降运动的顺畅性。
其中,滑动槽25a可以为直线槽,且滑动槽25a的延伸方向可以垂直于升降件2的轴线,有利于升降件2的第一端2a和第二端2b的升降高度一致,提高了升降件2的平稳性。在其它一些实施例中,滑动槽25a的延伸方向也可以与升降件2的轴线呈夹角。在其它一些实施例中,滑动槽25a还可以为弧形槽或样条曲线槽,具体根据升降件2在升降过程中,第四连接轴444的运动路径进行设计,只要能够实现升降件2的第一端2a和第二端2b的升降高度一致即可。
在本实施例中,由于升降件2可以具有第一避让槽26(如图13A所示),第一避让槽26用于在升降件2的升降过程中,避让其他结构件,例如基座1的内部结构,以避免撞击、导致损伤或影响升降精度的在第一方向Y上的运动偏移,以避免升降件2在升降过程发生碰撞。
一些实施例中,请参阅图19,在缩回态,长杆411的第一连接孔4111a相较于第二连接孔4112a靠近升降机构10的顶侧,在伸出态时,长杆411的第一连接孔4111a位置不变,第二连接孔4112a相较于第一连接孔4111a靠近升降机构10的顶侧。由于第一连接孔4111a的中心(也即第一连接轴441的中心轴线)为长杆411的转动轴线,且在第三方向Z上,长杆411的第一杆411a的高度大于第三杆411c的高度,通过设置缩回态时第一连接孔4111a高于第二连接孔4112a,使得传动组件4在驱动升降件2沿第三方向Z上升的过程中,第三杆411c沿第三方向Z上运动(也即第二连接孔4112a朝升降机构10的顶侧运动)能够利用第一杆411a在第三方向Z上的尺寸,从而使得在升降件2的运动行程不变的情况下,能够减小升降机构10在第三方向Z上占用的尺寸空间,有利于升降机构10的轻薄化设计。
在本实施例中,由于长杆411的第三杆411c的顶侧面呈斜面,减小长杆411的第二端4112在第三方向Z上的尺寸,使得长杆411的重量轻,从而减小驱动长杆411运动所需的功耗,提高长杆411的运动灵活性。
在其他一些实施例中,还可以将升降件2的第一端2a的配合孔24a改为槽结构,将升降件2的第二端2b的滑动槽25a改为孔结构。长杆411的第二端4112滑动连接于升降件2的第二端2b,短杆421的第二转动部4212转动连接于升降件2的第一端2a。在本实施例中,通过升降件2的第一端2a的槽结构消除升降件2的第一端2a和第二端2b在升降过程中在第一方向Y上的运动偏差,提高了升降件2的升降运动的顺畅性。
在其他一些实施例中,传动组件4可以通过设计四连杆的长度和连接位置,使得长杆411的第二端4112和第二连接轴442的运动路径、与短杆421的第三转动部4213和第四连接轴444的运动路径在第一方向Y上的运动同步。此时,长杆411的第二端4112可以转动连接升降件2的第一端2a,短杆421的第三转动部4213可以转动连接升降件2的第二端2b。四连杆机构的具体设置结构本申请实施例不作严格限定。

其中,磁性件52可以用于产生磁场,当升降件2在缩回态与伸出态之间切换时,磁性件52随升降件2的运动而运动,使得磁性件52与感应芯片511的相对位置发生变化,由此,感应芯片511检测到的磁通量的值也会发生相应的改变,从而实现了检测组件5对升降件2的运动过程的监测。

一些实施例中,两个涡轮313可以分别传动连接两个短杆421。在涡轮313转动时,短杆421可以受力运动,以实现涡轮313与传动组件4的传动连接。示例性的,涡轮313的挡位面3134a可以接触短杆421的第一转动部4211的第一抵接面4211c。在涡轮313向抵压第一抵接面4211c(例如涡轮313的挡位面3134a的朝向第一转动部4211的法向)的方向转动时,推动短杆421转动,以驱动传动组件4运动,实现了涡轮313与传动组件4的传动连接。
其中,涡轮313与短杆421之间可以通过面接触的方式传递作用力,实现涡轮313与短杆421的传动连接,能够节省涡轮313与短杆421之间用于传动的结构件,并且也能够提高涡轮313与短杆421传动连接的可靠性。在其他实施例中,挡位面3134a与第一抵接面4211c也可以不完全贴合,涡轮313与短杆421之间可以通过线面接触的方式传递作用力,本申请对此不作限定。
其中,涡轮313的至少部分传动部3132可以位于短杆421的第一转动部4211的凹陷空间4211b内,短杆421的至少部分第一转动部4211可以位于第一凹槽3134内,两者的配合结构紧凑。
在本申请实施例中,电机311可以驱动涡轮313沿第二转动方向A2转动,第二转动方向A2与第一转动方向A1为相反方向。例如,第二转动方向A2可以为涡轮313抵压短杆421的第一抵接面4211c的方向。
升降机构10由伸出态向缩回态变化时,电机311驱动涡轮313向第二转动方向A2转动,涡轮313可以接触并推动传动组件4运动,以带动升降件2下降。
具体的,两个涡轮313可以分别推动两个短杆421运动,以驱动升降件2下降。其中,涡轮313的挡位面3134a可以接触短杆421的第一转动部4211的第一抵接面4211c。涡轮313向第二转动方向A2转动时,涡轮313的挡位面3134a可以推抵第一抵接面4211c,短杆421受到逆时针的缩回力F2,短杆421运动,且短杆421通过连杆43带动长杆411运动,短杆421和长杆411同时驱动升降件2下降。短杆421和长杆411的运动过程可以参照图18A、图18B以及前文相关内容所述,此处不再赘述。
其中,由于涡轮313的挡位面3134a接触第一转动部4211的第一抵接面4211c,由此也可以认为,涡轮313与短杆421的第一转动部4211直接接触,在升降件2的下降过程中,涡轮313可以直接驱动第一转动部4211运动。在其他一些实施例中,涡轮313与第一转动部4211之间也可以通过其他结构件间接连接。
在本申请实施例中,在升降件2下降的过程中,无需借助弹性件315的形变及形变恢复进行力的传递,下降过程中力的传动速度较快,有利于升降件2的快速下降。
一些实施例中,在缩回态时,弹性件315处于压缩状态,弹性件315、涡轮313以及短平衡杆42之间受力平衡,使得升降机构能够保持缩回态,有利于提高升降机构的稳定性和可靠性。
可以理解的是,在缩回态时,弹性件315处于压缩状态,弹性件315的第一端3151抵接于涡轮313的接触面3135a,其对涡轮313的作用力的方向可以背向涡轮313抵压弹性件315的第一端3151的方向(也即第二转动方向A2);同理,弹性件315的第二端3152抵接于短支撑杆422的第二抵接面4223a,其对短支撑杆422的作用力的方向可以为第一转动方向A1,并且两者的大小相等。
其中,涡轮313在受到弹性件315的作用力的同时抵压于短杆421的第一转动部4211,使得第一转动部4211也会受到第二转动方向A2的作用力,也即,短平衡杆42的短杆421会受到涡轮313沿第二转动方向A2的作用力,且该作用力的大小与短平衡杆42的短支撑杆422受到的弹性件315沿第一转动方向A1的作用力的大小相等,方向相反,使得短平衡杆42的受力平衡。也可以说,在缩回态时,短平衡杆42与涡轮313和弹性件315之间的作用力平衡,在不受外力(例如驱动组件3的驱动力)的作用时,短平衡杆42、涡轮313以及弹性件315能够保持相对静止,使得升降机构内能够保持缩回态。同理可以得出涡轮313和弹性件315在缩回态时的受力情况,此处不再赘述。
在本申请实施例中,两个驱动组31分别连接于两组传动件44,两个电机311可以同时为升降机构10工作,使得驱动力更大,驱动效率更高,有利于实现升降机构10更快的升降过程。
其中,在一些实施例中,两组驱动组31内的两个电机311由于驱动时序、工艺制造、磨损老化程度不同等因素的影响,可能对与之相连的结构件(例如蜗杆312等的运动过程)存在不同程度的控制偏差,从而导致升降机构内的两个驱动组31之间存在运动偏差,并且也会造成与驱动组31传动连接的两组传动件44等结构件之间存在运动偏差,从而影响升降机构的可靠性和运动的顺畅性。在本申请实施例中,通过在驱动组31内设有弹性件315,两个驱动组31内弹性件315的压缩程度可以不同,用于消除两个驱动组31的运动偏差对升降机构10的升降过程所造成的影响,有利于提高两组驱动组31工作的同步性。
可以理解的,例如,升降机构10内的两个涡轮313可以包括第一涡轮和第二涡轮,两个弹性件315可以包括第一弹性件和第二弹性件,第一弹性件连接于第一涡轮与短支撑杆422之间,第二弹性件连接于第二涡轮与短支撑杆422之间。
示例性的,第一涡轮和第二涡轮分别由两组驱动组31的电机311驱动,在升降机构10由缩回态向伸出态变化时,第一涡轮沿第一转动方向A1的转动角度,可以大于第二涡轮沿第一转动方向A1的转动角度,此时,第一弹性件的压缩程度大于第二弹性件的压缩程度,第一涡轮的抵接凸块3135与短支撑杆422之间的间距,小于第二涡轮的抵接凸块3135与短支撑杆422之间的间距。在运动过程中,第一弹性件的两端可以分别抵接于第一涡轮的抵接凸块3135与短支撑杆422之间,且与第一涡轮和短支撑杆422均保持接触,第二弹性件可以发生适当形变,以适应两个涡轮313与短支撑杆422之间的间距的差值,使得第二弹性件的两端也能够与第二涡轮的抵接凸块3135和短支撑杆422均保持接触。
其中,由前述内容可知,短平衡杆42会受到涡轮313以及弹性件315的作用力,当两个涡轮313的转动角度不同,并且两个短杆421的第一转动部4211由于短支撑杆422的连接转动角度相同时,两个涡轮313的挡位面3134a与短平衡杆42的第一抵接面4211c的间距不同的,两个驱动组31内弹性件315的压缩程度可以不同,以避免弹性件315、涡轮313或短平衡杆42相互影响,导致机构出现卡死等问题,从而影响了升降机构10的升降过程的顺畅性。
其中,通过设置两个驱动组31为对称结构,以进一步提高两个驱动组31工作的同步性,有利于提高驱动效率。
请参阅图36,图36是图3A所示升降机构10的截面结构示意图。
一些实施例中,升降机构10处于伸出态,且升降件2受到外部压力时,升降件2下降,传动组件4运动,弹性件315发生形变。示例性的,在伸出态,升降件2受到外部朝向第三方向的负方向-Z方向的压力(请参阅图36中的F3),压力F3带动升降件2朝向第三方向的负方向-Z缩回,从而带动长杆411绕第一连接轴441(如图15A所示)沿逆时针转动,同时带动短杆421绕第一转轴446逆时针转动,短支撑杆422挤压弹性件315,弹性件315能够在这个过程中通过形变缓冲掉压力F3,避免升降件2受到硬击伤。此外,涡轮313能够保持原有状态和位置,避免涡轮313、蜗杆312及电机311发生意外的结构撞击,以保护驱动组件3。
此外,在升降件2受到的压力F3卸去之后,弹性件315能够通过形变恢复的力驱动短杆421和长杆411一同转动,以驱动升降件2恢复至伸出态。其中,压力F3可以来自电子设备1000的摔落、电子设备1000与外界的撞击、电子设备1000与外界的挤压等。
在前文实施例中,以两个弹性件315之间连接有连接件33为例,对驱动组件3进行了相应的设计。在其它实施例中,驱动组件3也可以不包括连接件33。此时,两个弹性件315的第二端3152相互独立,有利于提高两个弹性件315各自形变的自由度,以及提高两个驱动组31工作的同步性。其中,两个弹性件315的第二端3152之间可以存在间距,避免相互干扰。或者,两个弹性件315的第二端3152也可以接触。
在其他实施例中,升降机构10内还可以不包括弹性件315以及连接件33,通过改变涡轮313与第一转动部4211的相对位置,使得挡位面3134a与短杆421或短支撑杆422接触,电机311驱动涡轮313沿第一转动方向A1转动时,涡轮313可以推动短杆421或短支撑杆422运动,以带动升降件2升起。
