Example one

Referring to fig. 1 and fig. 2, fig. 1 is a functional assembly 100 provided in the present application, where the functional assembly 100 includes a base 10, a sliding module 20, and a driving mechanism 30.

The sliding module 20 includes a sliding seat 21 slidably connected to the base 10 and a camera module 22 fixed to the sliding seat 21.

The driving mechanism 30 includes an elastic member 33, a stopper 32 and a driving component 31, the elastic member 33 is elastically connected between the base 10 and the sliding seat 21 to provide an elastic restoring force for the sliding seat 21 to expand relative to the base 10, the stopper 32 is slidably connected to the base 10 along a sliding direction parallel to the sliding seat 21, the stopper 32 limits the sliding seat 21 to expand relative to the base 10 for sliding, and the driving component 31 is mounted on the base 10 and drives the stopper 32 to slide.

It is understood that the number of the camera modules 22 may be one or more, and the functional component 100 may be applied to an electronic device 200, where the electronic device 200 includes but is not limited to a smart phone, a tablet computer, and a notebook computer.

The functional module 100 provided by the present application is elastically connected between the base 10 and the sliding seat 21 through the elastic member 33, so that the elastic member 33 provides an elastic restoring force for the sliding seat 21 to expand relative to the base 10. The stopper 32 is slidably connected to the base 10 along a sliding direction parallel to the sliding seat 21, and the stopper 32 is used to perform sliding limit on the sliding seat 21 relative to the base 10. When the driving assembly 31 drives the stopper 32 to slide towards the preset direction a, the sliding seat 21 extends out of the base 10 under the action of the elastic member 33, so that a user can conveniently perform human-computer interaction operation; when drive assembly 31 drive dog 32 is towards presetting direction A reverse slip, so that dog 32 promotes sliding seat 21 retracts base 10 realizes hiding camera module 22 avoids occupying the appearance face region, improves user experience.

Referring to fig. 3, in the present embodiment, the base 10 includes a back plate 11 and a side plate 12 fixed to the back plate 11. A containing cavity 13 is formed between the back plate 11 and the side plate 12. The sliding direction of the sliding seat 21 is substantially perpendicular to the side plate 12. The receiving cavity 13 has a receiving opening 131 opposite to the back plate 11. The driving mechanism 30 is installed in the accommodating cavity 13 to protect the driving mechanism 30. The driving mechanism 30 is mounted in the housing cavity 13 through the housing opening 131.

When the sliding seat 21 is retracted from the base 10, the sliding seat 21 is at least partially received in the receiving cavity 13 through the side plate 12. Therefore, the camera module 22 is hidden, and the overall use volume of the functional assembly 100 is reduced. When the sliding seat 21 extends out of the base 10, the camera module 22 at least partially exposes out of the accommodating cavity 13 through the side plate 12. The back plate 11 of the base 10 carries the camera module 22 and the driving mechanism 30, so as to ensure that the driving mechanism 30 can drive the functional device to extend and retract relative to the base 10. The side plate 12 is hidden from the slide seat 21 and the driving mechanism 30, so as to improve the appearance and safety of the functional assembly 100.

Because the sliding seat 21 can drive the functional device to slide and stretch out and draw back to the base 10, when the functional device needs to be used, the driving mechanism 30 is used to drive the sliding seat 21 to be away from the base 10, so that the sliding seat 21 drives the functional device to extend out of the accommodating cavity 13, thereby facilitating the human-computer interaction operation of a user; after the use, the sliding seat 21 is retracted into the accommodating cavity 13, so that the functional device is hidden in the base 10, the functional device does not occupy the area of the appearance surface of the display 40 of the electronic device 200, and the appearance integrity of the electronic device 200 is improved.

Referring to fig. 5, in one embodiment, the driving assembly 31 includes a screw 34 rotatably connected to the base 10 and a motor 35 for driving the screw 34 to rotate. The length direction of the screw rod 34 is parallel to the sliding direction of the sliding seat 21. The stopper 32 is provided with a threaded hole, and the stopper 32 is screwed with the screw rod 34 through the threaded hole. The stopper 32 has a side wall that is attached to the back plate 11 of the base 10, so that the back plate 11 provides a support for the stopper 32 to slide. When the driving assembly 31 drives the screw rod 34 to rotate, the back plate 11 limits the stopper 32 to rotate along with the screw rod 34, so that the screw rod 34 drives the sliding portion 321 to slide relative to the base 10. The driving assembly 31 controls the screw rod 34 to rotate forward or backward, so as to drive the stopper 32 to slide in the preset direction a or in the reverse direction. The number of turns of the screw rod 34 is controlled by the motor 35, so as to adjust the sliding distance of the stopper 32, and further adjust the unfolding distance of the sliding seat 21 relative to the base 10.

When the driving assembly 31 drives the stopper 32 to slide towards the preset direction a, the sliding seat 21 extends out of the base 10 under the action of the elastic member 33, so that a user can conveniently perform human-computer interaction operation; when the driving assembly 31 drives the stopper 32 to slide in the reverse direction in the preset direction a, the stopper 32 pushes the sliding seat 21 to retract into the base 10, so as to hide the camera module 22.

The elastic member 33 is a spring, and the number of the springs may be one or more than one. One end of the spring is connected to the sliding seat 21, and the other end is connected to the base 10. The elastic member 33 may be directly coupled to the base 10 to achieve a relatively fixed relationship with the base 10. The relative fixing relationship with the base 10 can also be realized by other components, for example, connecting to other devices (such as a main board) installed on the base 10, so that the spring can provide the elastic force of the sliding seat 21 against the limiting portion 322. In other embodiments, the elastic element 33 may also be an elastic element (e.g., a spring plate, an elastic arm) in other forms, which are not limited herein.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, in one embodiment, when the sliding seat 21 contracts relative to the base 10, the elastic element 33 is elastically connected between the sliding seat 21 and the base 10 in a compressed state, the elastic element 33 provides an elastic restoring force for expanding the sliding seat 21 relative to the base 10, and when the driving assembly 31 drives the stopper 32 to slide in the preset direction a, the sliding seat 21 expands relative to the base 10 under the elastic thrust of the elastic element 33.

Referring to fig. 9 and 10, in another embodiment, when the sliding seat 21 contracts relative to the base 10, the elastic element 33 is elastically connected between the sliding seat 21 and the side plate 12 in a stretched state, the elastic element 33 provides an elastic restoring force for the sliding seat 21 to expand relative to the base 10, and when the driving assembly 31 drives the stopper 32 to slide in the preset direction a, the sliding seat 21 expands relative to the base 10 under the elastic pulling force of the elastic element 33.

Further, referring to fig. 1, fig. 2, fig. 8 and fig. 11, the sliding seat 21 is provided with a protrusion 211 on an outer side wall, and the stopper 32 abuts against the protrusion 211 to limit the protrusion 211 from sliding further toward the unfolding direction of the sliding seat 21 relative to the base 10.

In this embodiment, the protrusion 211 is disposed on one side of the sliding seat 21 facing the limiting portion, and the protrusion 211 is disposed opposite to the side plate 12. The position-limiting portion 322 is close to the side plate 12 relative to the protrusion 211, the protrusion 211 abuts against the position-limiting portion 322 under the elastic action of the elastic member 33, and the position-limiting portion 322 limits the protrusion 211 to further slide toward the sliding seat 21 relative to the unfolding direction of the base 10.

When the sliding seat 21 that is unfolded relative to the base 10 is subjected to external impact, the elastic element 33 provides elastic force buffering for the sliding seat 21 and the camera module 22, and the sliding seat 21 overcomes the elastic force of the elastic element 33 under the external impact action, drives the protrusion 211 to be separated from the contact with the limiting portion 322, and contracts relative to the base 10, so as to prevent the sliding seat 21 and the camera module 22 from being damaged due to rigid collision. After the protrusion 211 is separated from the position-limiting portion 322, the elastic element 33 provides an elastic restoring force for the sliding seat 21 to expand relative to the base 10, so that the protrusion 211 pushes against the position-limiting portion 322 again, thereby achieving automatic resetting.

Further, referring to fig. 1, fig. 2, fig. 8, fig. 11 and fig. 12, the stopper 32 is provided with a groove 322a, an opening of the groove 322a faces in parallel with the sliding direction of the sliding seat 21, the protrusion 211 is provided with a protrusion 2111 engaged with the groove 322a, and the engaging and locking force of the protrusion 2111 and the groove 322a damps the vibration of the protrusion 2111 relative to the stopper 32.

In this embodiment, the groove 322a is disposed on a side of the limiting portion 322 facing the protrusion 211, the groove 322a is a U-shaped groove, the protrusion 2111 is disposed on a side of the protrusion facing the limiting portion 322, and the protrusion 2111 and the groove 322a are disposed in the same shape. The protrusion 2111 is engaged with the groove 322a, so that the sliding seat 21 and the limiting portion 322 have consistent stability, and when the functional assembly 100 shakes, the engaging locking force of the protrusion 2111 and the groove 322a vibrates and buffers the protrusion 2111 relative to the stopper 32, thereby preventing the sliding seat 21 from shaking relative to the base 10, and enabling the sliding seat 21 to be kept stable when being unfolded relative to the base 10. The protrusion 211 may be an elastic body, and after the protrusion 2111 is engaged with the groove 322a, the protrusion 211 may buffer the vibration of the sliding seat 21 relative to the base 10. When the sliding seat 21 is subjected to external impact, the external acting force is greater than the clamping locking force of the protrusion 2111 and the groove 322a, so that the sliding seat 21 is enough to drive the protrusion 2111 to separate from the groove 322a under the action of the external impact. In other embodiments, the groove 322a may be a groove 322a with other shapes. In other embodiments, the protrusion 211 is provided with the groove 322a, and the limiting portion 322 is provided with the protrusion 2111.

The first inclined side wall 211a is attached to the second inclined side wall 322b, and the first outer side wall 211b is attached to the second outer side wall 322c, so that the contact area between the protrusion 211 and the stopper 322 is increased, and the transmission smoothness is improved.

A gap for accommodating the protrusion 211 is formed between the second inclined sidewall 322b and the second outer sidewall 322c, so that the protrusion 211 and the stopper 322 are more tightly matched, and the transmission stability is improved. And the first inclined sidewall 211a and the second inclined sidewall 322b have a guide function: after the protrusion 211 is separated from the stopper 322, the protrusion 211 abuts against the stopper 322 again under the elastic force of the elastic member 33, the first inclined sidewall 211a is attached to the second inclined sidewall 322b, and the first inclined sidewall 211a and the second inclined sidewall 322b cooperate to guide the protrusion 2111 of the protrusion 211 into the groove 322a of the stopper 322, so as to ensure that the protrusion 2111 is engaged with the groove 322 a.
