US 2023/0141223 A1 · CAMERA LIFTING STRUCTURE AND DISPLAY DEVICE

Abstract

A camera lifting structure includes a rail bracket, two fixing portions, two elastic elements, two sliding portions, two connecting rods and a camera module. The rail bracket extends along a first direction. The fixing portions are disposed on two ends of the rail bracket. The elastic elements locate between the fixing portions. Each elastic element has a first end and a second end. Each first end connects with the corresponding fixing portion. The sliding portions respectively connect with the corresponding second end and are configured to slide along the first direction relative to the rail bracket. Each connecting rod has a third end and a fourth end. Each third end is pivotally connected with the corresponding sliding portion. The camera module pivotally connects with the fourth ends and is configured to move relative to the rail bracket along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction.
