Abstract
An electronic device includes: a device body defining an accommodating space therein; a camera module arranged on the device body, and configured to be positioned to be a first orientation and a second orientation, the camera module being configured to be located at the accommodating space of the device body and have a first photographing range at the first orientation, and to have a second photographing range at the second orientation; and an adjusting module arranged on the device body, and configured to drive the camera module at the first orientation to move outwards from the accommodating space, to move at least a part of the camera module outside the device body, and further to allow the camera module to be inclined to the second orientation.
Claims18
An electronic device, comprising:
- a device body defining an accommodating space therein;
- a camera module arranged on the device body, and configured to be positioned to be a first orientation and a second orientation, the camera module being configured to be located at the accommodating space of the device body and have a first photographing range at the first orientation, and to have a second photographing range at the second orientation;
- and
- an adjusting module arranged on the device body, and configured to drive the camera module at the first orientation to move outwards from the accommodating space, to move at least a part of the camera module outside the device body, and further to allow the camera module to be inclined with respect to the device body to the second orientation,
- wherein
- the camera module comprises a camera, the camera comprises a photographing portion and a fixing portion connected with the photographing portion, the photographing portion is provided with a first group of protrusions protruding along a first axis, the first axis divides the photographing portion into a first part distal from the fixing portion and a second part proximal to the fixing portion, the fixing portion is provided with a second group of protrusions protruding along a second axis, and the second axis divides the fixing portion into a third part proximal to the photographing portion and a fourth part distal from the photographing portion;
- the adjusting module comprises:
- a lifting part configured to reciprocate along a vertical direction and fitted with the first part of the photographing portion;
- a lifting limit part comprising a vertical sliding slot fitted with the second group of protrusions, the second group of protrusions being configured to rise from a bottom of the vertical sliding slot to a top thereof during a process of the lifting part rising from a lowest point to an intermediate point;
- and
- an inclining limit part fixedly arranged on the lifting part and comprising a horizontal sliding slot fitted with the first group of protrusions, the first group of protrusions being configured to rise along with the lifting part during the process of the lifting part rising from the lowest point to the intermediate point, and further configured to rotate in the horizontal sliding slot and move from a first end of the horizontal sliding slot distal from the fixing portion to a second end of the horizontal sliding slot proximal to the fixing portion during a process of the lifting part rising from the middle point to a highest point, such that the photographing portion is inclined around the first axis.
