With the development of display technology, most terminal devices have camera functions. In related technologies, in order to enable the terminal device to have the front and back camera functions, two cameras are usually disposed in the terminal device to achieve the front and back camera functions, respectively. However, the cost is higher, and the design of two cameras is prohibitive to achieving a full screen display of the terminal device.

In order to solve the above mentioned technical problem, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a camera apparatus. As shown inFIG. 1, the camera apparatus can be applied to the terminal device1. It should be noted that the camera apparatus can not only be applied to the terminal device1, but also be applied to other devices depending on the specific situation.

In the present embodiment, as shown inFIG. 1toFIG. 9, the camera apparatus may include a mounting body10, a camera20, and an adjustment component30.

The camera20may include a first surface201for framing (that is, a framing surface) and a second surface202opposite to the first surface201. It should be noted that the first surface201and the second surface202may both be planar, but are not limited thereto. In addition, the entire area of the first surface201may be used for framing, or a part of an area of the first surface201may be used for framing, which can depend on the specific situation.

The adjustment component30may include a plurality of telescopic rods, and each of the telescopic rods can perform a telescopic movement. It should be noted that the plurality mentioned here includes two, or more than two, that is, the adjustment component30may include at least two telescopic rods. In detail, each of the telescopic rods may include a first end301and a second end302. The first end301of the telescopic rod may be connected with the mounting body10, and the second end302of the telescopic rod can be connected with the second surface202of the camera20. That is to say, the camera20can be mounted on the mounting body10by a telescopic rod.

In one embodiment, each foregoing mentioned telescopic rod can perform telescopic movement. That is to say, the telescopic degree of each telescopic rod can be adjusted. Therefore, the orientation of the first surface201of the camera20can be adjusted by adjusting the telescopic degree of each telescopic rod. That is, the camera20can be switched at multiple angles by adjusting the telescopic degree of each telescopic rod to achieve the camera function at different angles. Since the camera apparatus in the present embodiment can achieve the camera function at different angles through a single camera20, compared with the device adopted multiple cameras in the related technologies, the terminal device1adopted the camera apparatus can reduce the number of the cameras20while achieving the camera function at different angles, thereby the cost can be effectively reduced. In addition, the area of the display screen40of the terminal device1can be larger by adopting the camera apparatus, and even the overall screen display of the terminal device1can be achieved, which greatly improves the user experience.

It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, the telescopic degree of each of the telescopic rods may indicate the length of the telescopic rod, and the lengths of the telescopic rods may be the same or may be different. When the telescopic degree of each telescopic rod is the same, the only function of the adjustment component30includes elevating the camera20, and the orientation of the first surface201of the camera20does not change, that is, the orientation of the first surface201of the camera20is in an initial state. When the telescopic degrees of at least two of the telescopic rods are different, the adjustment component30can not only function as elevating the camera20, but also can change the orientation of the first surface201of the camera20. It should be understood that when the telescopic degrees of at least two of the telescopic rods are different, the first surface201of the camera20will face to the side where the telescopic rod with a smaller telescopic degree is located. It should be added that, during the orientation adjustment process of the first surface201of the camera20, the length of the telescopic rod will be changed, and the inclination angle of the telescopic rod will also be changed. Therefore, the telescopic degree can also indicate the length and inclination angle of the telescopic rod. Since the change in the inclination angle of the telescopic rod is adjusted accompanying the change in the length thereof, the change in the inclination angle thereof in the present disclosure will not be described again.

In one embodiment, the second end302of the telescopic rod is movably connected with the second surface202of the camera20, and this design not only enables the angle adjustment of the camera20by the telescopic rod, but also can prevent the camera20from being stuck and un-moveable while reducing the manufacture difficulty of the camera20, and reducing the manufacturing cost of the camera20.

However, the connection manner between the second end302of the telescopic rod and the second surface202of the camera20is not limited to an active connection, but may also be a fixed connection. For example, when the camera20includes a folded portion that can be folded and unfolded, even if the second end302of the telescopic rod is fixedly connected with the second surface202of the camera20, the orientation adjustment of the first surface201of the camera20may also be achieved by adjusting the telescopic degree of the telescopic rod to adjust the unfolded extent of the folded portion of the camera20.

It is worth noting here that, when the second end302of the telescopic rod and the second surface202of the camera20are connected by adopting an active connection manner, the active connection manner of each telescopic rod and the camera20may be the same or may be different. For example, the active connection manner of each telescopic rod and the camera20may be a rotating manner or may be a combination of sliding and rotating manners.

It can be seen from the above mentioned embodiment that, when the second end302of the telescopic rod is actively connected with the second surface202of the camera20, whether in a rotating manner or a combination manner of sliding and rotating, the second end302of the telescopic rod and the second surface202of the camera20can generate a relative rotation with both involved. Therefore, in order to reduce the manufacture difficulty and assemble difficulty of the telescopic rod and the camera20, in the present embodiment, as shown inFIG. 2toFIG. 9, the second end302of the telescopic rod is rotatably connected with the second surface202of the camera20. As shown in figures, the second end302of each telescopic rod can be rotatably connected with the second surface202of the camera20by a rotating shaft31.

Since the distance between the second end302of each telescopic rod is a fixed value when the second end302of each telescopic rod is rotatably connected with the second surface202of the camera20by a rotating shaft31, in order to enable the telescopic rod to achieve the orientation adjustment of the first surface201of the camera20during the telescoping process, the first end301of the telescopic rod needs to be actively connected with the mounting body10.

In one optional embodiment, the first end301of the telescopic rod is rotatably connected with the mounting body10. As shown inFIG. 2toFIG. 5, the first end301of each telescopic rod can be all rotatably connected with the mounting body10by a rotating shaft31.

In another optional embodiment, the first end301of the telescopic rod is slidably connected with the mounting body10. Specifically, the sliding connection manner of the first end301of the telescopic rod and the mounting body10may include the following two types:

the first type, as shown inFIG. 6toFIG. 9, a sliding slot107is disposed on the mounting body10, and the sliding slot107is elongated; the first end301of the telescopic rod is located in the sliding slot107, and the first end301of the telescopic rod can slide along the length direction of the sliding slot107.

the second type, the mounting body is provided with a sliding block, and the sliding block is elongated; a sliding slot that is slidingly engaged with the sliding block is disposed on the end surface of the first end301of the telescopic rod, and the first end301of the telescopic rod can slide along the length direction of the sliding block.

In one embodiment, the camera apparatus may further include a locking component (not shown in figures), and the locking component may be mounted on the first end301of the telescopic rod. The locking component is used to lock the first end301of the telescopic rod and the mounting body10when the first surface201of the camera20faces towards the target direction, which prevents the camera20from being active during camera use, thereby the camera quality and the user experience can be improved.

For example, the locking component may include a locking claw, and the locking claw can be folded during the orientation adjustment process of the first surface201of the camera20, that is, in an unlocked state, so that the first end301of the telescopic rod can be moved relative to the mounting body10. When the first surface201of the camera20is oriented to the target direction, the locking claw can be opened. That is, in a locking state, the first end301of the telescopic rod and the mounting body10are stuck, which prevents the occurrence of the relative movement between the first end301of the telescopic rod and the mounting body10, and then, the function locking the first end301of the telescopic rod and the mounting body10is achieved. It should be noted that the locking component is not limited to the locking form, and may be other locking forms, which depends on a specific condition. The specific structure of the locking component can be obtained from the related technology by those skilled in the art, and the details are not described herein again.

In one embodiment, the camera apparatus may further include a driving component50, and the driving component may be a micro linear electric motor, but it is not limited thereto. The driving component50may be connected with each telescopic rod for driving the telescopic rod to perform a telescopic movement to adjust the telescopic degree of the telescopic rod. In the present embodiment, through use of the driving component50to drive the telescopic rod to perform the telescopic movement, the automatic adjustment of the telescopic rod is achieved, thereby the orientation automatic adjustment of the first surface201of the camera20can be achieved.

In one embodiment, the camera apparatus may further include a control element60, and the driving component is connected with the control element. The control element60may adjust the telescopic degree of the telescopic rod by controlling driving component to achieve the automatic adjustment of the telescopic rod, thereby the orientation automatic adjustment of the first surface201of the camera20can be achieved.

It should be noted that the control element60that controls the driving component50may be disposed independently of the mounting body10, or may be disposed inside the mounting body10.

For example, when the camera apparatus is applied to the terminal device1, the control element60for controlling the driving component50in the camera apparatus may be a part of the circuit board70in the terminal device1. Thus, the space occupied by the camera apparatus can be saved, and also, the cost of the terminal device1can be reduced.

In addition, it should also be noted that the telescopic degree of the telescopic rod can be adjusted not only automatically through the cooperation of the driving component50and the control element60, but also through manually adjustment.

In the present embodiment, when the camera apparatus is applied to the terminal device1, the mounting body10may be a housing structure of the terminal device1. The housing structure may include a display side101and a non-display side. The display side101may be used to mount the display screen40. As shown inFIG. 1toFIG. 9, the display screen40may be embedded in the display side101of the mounting body10, but it is not limited thereto.

The assembly relationship between the mounting body10and the camera20will be specifically described below in connection with the accompanying drawings.

In one embodiment, as shown inFIG. 2toFIG. 10, one side of the mounting body10may provide with a containing groove106. The first end301of the telescopic rod of the adjustment component30can connect with the groove bottom of the containing groove106(the groove bottom is the surface of the containing groove106opposite to the notch). Thus, when the camera20is mounted on the mounting body10, at least a portion of the structure of the adjustment component30can locate within the containing groove106by this design, which thereby can reduce the space occupied by the entire terminal device1.

Alternatively, the first surface201of the camera20is located inside the containing groove106when each telescopic rod is in a contracted state, that is, the adjustment component30and the camera20may both locate in the containing groove106. This design can not only reduce the space occupied by the whole terminal device1, but also can reduce the interference between the camera20and external objects, which can improve the safety in use of the camera20. Alternatively, the first surface201of the camera20is flush with one side of the mounting body10on which the containing groove106is disposed, which can improve the appearance quality of the terminal device1.

In one embodiment, the containing groove106can be located on the non-display side of the mounting body10. That is to say, the camera20and the adjustment component30cannot occupy the position of the display side101of the mounting body10so that the mounting body10can fully display on the display side101. That is, the area of the display screen40of the terminal device1can be made larger, and even an overall screen display of the terminal device1can be achieved, which greatly improves the user experience.

In detail, the non-display side of the mounting body10may include a back side102and a circumference side. The back side102is opposite to the display side101. The circumference side is located between the display side101and the back side102, and connects the display side101and the back side102. In one embodiment, the containing groove106is located on the circumferential side of the mounting body10. That is to say, the camera20and the adjustment component30may be disposed on the circumferential side of the mounting body10. This design can reduce the difficulty of orientation adjustment of the camera20by the adjustment component30.

It should be noted that the mounting body10may be a rectangular structure, but it is not limited thereto. For example, when the mounting body10is a rectangular structure, the circumferential side of the mounting body10can be formed by sequentially connecting end to end of four planes in which the four planes can be defined as a top surface103, a bottom surface104, and two side surfaces105connecting the top surface103and the bottom surface104. The containing groove106can be disposed on the top surface103of the mounting body10. That is to say, the camera20and the adjustment component30can be arranged on the top surface103of the mounting body10which can avoid the situation in which the hand covers the camera20when the user is holding the terminal device1. In addition, it conforms to the user's camera habits.

It should be understood that, when the telescopic degree of each telescopic rod is the same, the first surface201of the camera20faces the top of the mounting body10(the top refers to one side of the top surface103of the mounting body10away from the bottom surface104of the mounting body10). That is, the images of the objects located above the mounting body10can be acquired by the camera20.

In one embodiment, the inside of the mounting body10may provide a circuit board70, and the circuit board70may be a circuit board of the terminal device. As shown inFIG. 10, the groove bottom of the containing groove106may be provided with a through hole108communicating with the inside of the mounting body10, where the through hole is used for passing a signal line connecting the camera20and the circuit board70. That is to say, the circuit board70in the mounting body10can control the operational state of the camera20. It should be noted that the circuit board70can also be connected with the display screen40. In one embodiment, the user can select the camera mode through the display screen40, which thereby controls the operation of the camera20.

In the present embodiment, the through hole108is disposed in the groove bottom of the containing groove106. This design can alleviate the situation in which the signal lines connected the cameras20and the circuit board70are exposed to external situations, which thereby can improve the stability of the signal transmission between the camera20and the circuit board70, and can improve the appearance quality of the terminal device1while improving the user experience.

For example, when the camera apparatus is applied to the terminal device1, for example, when the camera apparatus is applied to the terminal device1such as a mobile phone, the camera20in the camera apparatus is mainly used to switch between shooting an object at the display side101and shooting an object at the back side102. In one embodiment, when the camera20is used to shoot an object at the display side101, the camera20can be considered to be in a front state. When the camera20is used to shoot an object at the back side102, the camera20can be considered to be in a back state.

In order to enable the camera20to switch between the front state and the back state, in the present embodiment, a plurality of telescopic rods of the adjustment component30may include a first telescopic rod30aand a second telescopic rod30b. As shown inFIG. 1, the first telescopic rod30ais adjacent to the back side102, and the second telescopic rod30bis adjacent to the display side101. In one embodiment, the first surface201of the camera20faces to the display side101by elongating the first telescopic rod30arelative to the second telescopic rod30b, that is, the camera20is in the front state. The first surface201of the camera20faces to the back side102by elongating the second telescopic rod30brelative to the first telescopic rod30a, that is, the camera20is in the back state.

Based on the foregoing mentioned content, the camera apparatuses of two different embodiments can be specifically described below.

As shown inFIG. 2, when the camera20is not in use, that is, when the camera20is in the initial state, the camera20embeds in the containing groove106at the top of the mounting body10, and the first surface201of the camera20faces the top of the terminal device1. The second ends302of the first telescopic rod30aand the second telescopic rod30bare rotatably connected with the second surface202of the camera20by the rotating shafts31, respectively. The first ends301of the first telescopic rod30aand the second telescopic rod30bare rotatably connected with the groove bottom of the containing groove106by the rotating shafts31, respectively.

As shown inFIG. 3andFIG. 5, when the camera20shoots in the front, through elongation of the first telescopic rod30a, and under the interaction force between the first telescopic rod30a, the second telescopic rod30b, the mounting body10and the camera20, the two ends of the first telescopic rod30aare respectively rotated relative to the camera20and the mounting body10, and the second end302of the second telescopic rod30brotates relative to the camera20, thereby the camera20can rotate in the direction in which the display side101is located. When the angle at which the camera20rotates toward the display side101is 90°, the first surface201of the camera20faces towards the display side101. It should be noted that, when the camera20rotates in the direction in which the display side101is located, the second telescopic rod30bcan maintain the initial state, but it is not limited thereto. The second telescopic rod30bcan also be appropriately elongated. It should be understood that the elongated length of the second telescopic rod30bis smaller than the extending length of the first telescopic rod30a.

As shown inFIG. 4, when the camera20shoots in the back, through elongation of the second telescopic rod30band under the interaction force between the first telescopic rod30a, the second telescopic rod30b, the mounting body10, and the camera20, the two ends of the second telescopic rod30brespectively rotate relative to the camera20and the mounting body10, and the second end302of the first telescopic rod30arotates relative to the camera20, thereby the camera20can rotate in the direction in which the back side102is located. When the angle at which the camera20rotates toward the back side102is 90°, the first surface201of the camera20faces to the back side102. It should be noted that, when the camera20rotates in the direction in which the back side102is located, the first telescopic rod30acan maintain the initial state, but it is not limited thereto. The first telescopic rod30acan also elongate appropriately. It should be understood that the length of elongation of the first telescopic rod30ais smaller than the length of elongation of the second telescopic rod30b.

As shown inFIG. 6, when the camera20is not in use, that is, when the camera20is in the initial state, the camera20embeds in the containing groove106at the top of the mounting body10, and the first surface201of the camera20faces the top of the terminal device1. The second ends302of the first telescopic rod30aand the second telescopic rod30bare rotatably connected with the second surface202of the camera20by the rotating shafts31, respectively. The first ends301of the first telescopic rod30aand the second telescopic rod30bare located in a sliding slot17at the groove bottom of the containing groove106, respectively. It should be noted that, when the camera20is in the initial state, the first ends301of the first telescopic rod30aand the second telescopic rod30bcan be locked in the sliding slot107by a locking component, respectively.

As shown inFIG. 7andFIG. 9, when the camera20shoots in the front, the locking component is in an unlocked state, through elongation of the first telescopic rod30aand under the interaction force between the first telescopic rod30a, the second telescopic rod30b, the mounting body10, and the camera20, such that the second ends of the first telescopic rod30aand the second telescopic rod30brespectively rotate relative to the camera20, and the first end301of the first telescopic rod30aslides toward the display side101relative to the sliding slot107, thereby the camera20can rotate in the direction in which the display side101is located. When the angle at which the camera20rotates toward the display side101is 90°, the first surface201of the camera20faces to the display side101, and the locking component is in a locked state. It should be noted that, when the camera20rotates in the direction in which the display side101is located, the second telescopic rod30bcan maintain in the initial state, but it is not limited thereto. The second telescopic rod30bcan also elongate appropriately. It should be understood that the length of elongation of the second telescopic rod30bis smaller than the length of elongation of the first telescopic rod30a.

As shown inFIG. 8, when the camera20shoots in the back, the locking component is in an unlocked state, through elongation of the second telescopic rod30band under the interaction force between the first telescopic rod30a, the second telescopic rod30b, the mounting body10, and the camera20, such that the second ends302of the first telescopic rod30aand the second telescopic rod30brespectively rotate relative to the camera20, and the first end301of the second telescopic rod30bslides toward the back side102relative to the sliding slot107, thereby the camera20can rotates in the direction in which the back side102is located. When the angle at which the camera20rotates toward the back side102is 90°, the first surface201of the camera20faces towards the back side102, and the locking component is in a locked state. It should be noted that, when the camera20rotates in the direction in which the back side102is located, the first telescopic rod30acan maintain the initial state, but it is not limited thereto. The first telescopic rod30acan also elongate appropriately. It should be understood that the elongating length of the first telescopic rod30ais smaller than the extending length of the second telescopic rod30b.

It should be noted that when the terminal device1turns on the camera function, it is initially considered to automatically rotate to the front state and then, rotate according to the camera direction selected by the user, but it is not limited thereto.

The camera apparatus and the terminal device are provided in the present disclosure. The camera apparatus may include a mounting body, a camera, and an adjustment component. In one embodiment, one end of each telescopic rod of the adjustment component is connected with the mounting body, and the other end is connected with the camera. The orientation of the framing surface of the camera (that is, a first surface for framing) can be adjusted by adjusting the telescopic degree of each telescopic rod, that is, the camera can switch at multiple angles by adjusting the telescopic degree of each telescopic rod to achieve the camera (that is, framing) function at different angles. Since the camera apparatus can achieve the camera function at different angles through a single camera, the terminal device adopted the camera apparatus to shoot in the present disclosure, compared with the terminal device adopted multiple cameras in the related technologies, can reduce the number of cameras while achieving the camera function at different angles, thereby the cost can be effectively reduced. In addition, through adoption of the camera apparatus for shooting, the area of the display screen of the terminal device can be made larger, and even an overall screen display of a terminal device can be achieved, which greatly improves the user experience.
