Description

BACKGROUND

1. Field

The disclosure relates to an electronic device including a camera module and a sliding assembly.

2. Description of Related Art

An electronic device including a camera may provide a photographing function. For example, the electronic device may output an image acquired from the camera to a display and may acquire a captured image from the camera while a shutter is operating.

SUMMARY

In general, a camera module is connected to a flexible printed circuit board (FPCB) to receive an electrical signal. In a process of installing the camera module in a support structure, the camera module may be tilted at a predetermined angle by the tension of the FPCB. If the camera module is installed in a state of being tilted, the camera module may be decentered with respect to a camera hole. In a related art, to solve such decentering, a structure for supporting the camera module without a gap in a thickness direction is applied. However, in such a structure, as stress is applied to the camera module, the resolving power may be affected, and there is a limitation in improving the decentering due to an error caused by dimensional deviation or flatness.

Certain example embodiments may provide an electronic device that may detect tilting and/or decentering of a camera module and that may adjust an installation state of the camera module.

Example embodiments may provide an electronic device that may correct tilting and/or decentering of a camera module through a movement of a sliding assembly even after the camera module is installed. In an example embodiment, an electronic device may comprise a housing configured to form at least part of an exterior of the electronic device; a support member disposed inside the housing, the support member comprising a first hole, and a second hole in which a rail is formed in a longitudinal direction toward the first hole; a camera module, comprising a camera, installed at least partially in the support member so that the camera is exposed through the first hole; and a sliding assembly installed at least partially in the second hole and configured to be slidable along the rail, wherein the sliding assembly may comprise: a first sliding member installed at least partially in the second hole in a first direction on a side of the second hole, the first sliding member comprising a contact end portion contactable with the camera module; a second sliding member installed at least partially in the second hole in a second direction opposite to the first direction on another side of the second hole such that the rail is positioned between at least the first sliding member and the second sliding member; and a fastener configured to fix relative positions of the first sliding member and the second sliding member with respect to the second hole.

Referring to FIG. 1, the electronic device 101 in the network environment 100 may communicate with an electronic device 102 via a first network 198 (e.g., a short-range wireless communication network), or communicate with at least one of an electronic device 104 or a server 108 via a second network 199 (e.g., a long-range wireless communication network). According to one embodiment, the electronic device 101 may communicate with the electronic device 104 via the server 108. According to one embodiment, the electronic device 101 may include a processor 120 (including processing circuitry), a memory 130, an input module 150, a sound output module 155, a display module 160, an audio module 170, and a sensor module 176, an interface 177, a connecting terminal 178, a haptic module 179, a camera module 180, a power management module 188, a battery 189, a communication module 190, a subscriber identification module (SIM) 196, or an antenna module 197. In some embodiments, at least one (e.g., the connecting terminal 178) of the above components may be omitted from the electronic device 101, or one or more other components may be added to the electronic device 101. In some embodiments, some (e.g., the sensor module 176, the camera module 180, or the antenna module 197) of the components may be integrated as a single component (e.g., the display module 160). Each “module” herein may include circuitry.

The processor 120 may execute, for example, software (e.g., a program 140) to control at least one other component (e.g., a hardware or software component) of the electronic device 101 connected to the processor 120, and may perform various data processing or computation. According to one embodiment, as at least a part of data processing or computation, the processor 120 may store a command or data received from another component (e.g., the sensor module 176 or the communication module 190) in a volatile memory 132, process the command or the data stored in the volatile memory 132, and store resulting data in a non-volatile memory 134.

For example, when the electronic device 101 includes the main processor 121 and the auxiliary processor 123, the auxiliary processor 123 may be adapted to consume less power than the main processor 121 or to be specific to a specified function. The auxiliary processor 123 may be implemented separately from the main processor 121 or as a part of the main processor 121. Each processor herein may include processing circuitry.

The auxiliary processor 123 may control at least some of functions or states related to at least one (e.g., the display module 160, the sensor module 176, or the communication module 190) of the components of the electronic device 101, instead of the main processor 121 while the main processor 121 is in an inactive (e.g., sleep) state or along with the main processor 121 while the main processor 121 is an active state (e.g., executing an application). According to one embodiment, the auxiliary processor 123 (e.g., an ISP or a CP) may be implemented as a portion of another component (e.g., the camera module 180 or the communication module 190) that is functionally related to the auxiliary processor 123. According to one embodiment, the auxiliary processor 123 (e.g., an NPU) may include a hardware structure specified for artificial intelligence (AI) model processing. An AI model may be generated by machine learning. Such learning may be performed by, for example, the electronic device 101 in which artificial intelligence is performed, or performed via a separate server (e.g., the server 108). Learning algorithms may include, but are not limited to, for example, supervised learning, unsupervised learning, semi-supervised learning, or reinforcement learning.

The power management module 188 may manage power supplied to the electronic device 101. According to one embodiment, the power management module 188 may be implemented as, for example, at least a part of a power management integrated circuit (PMIC).

The battery 189 may supply power to at least one component of the electronic device 101. According to one embodiment, the battery 189 may include, for example, a primary cell which is not rechargeable, a secondary cell which is rechargeable, or a fuel cell.

The communication module 190 may support establishing a direct (e.g., wired) communication channel or a wireless communication channel between the electronic device 101 and the external electronic device (e.g., the electronic device 102, the electronic device 104, or the server 108) and performing communication via the established communication channel. The communication module 190 may include one or more communication processors that are operable independently of the processor 120 (e.g., an AP) and that support a direct (e.g., wired) communication or a wireless communication. According to one embodiment, the communication module 190 may include a wireless communication module 192 (e.g., a cellular communication module, a short-range wireless communication module, or a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) communication module) or a wired communication module 194 (e.g., a local region network (LAN) communication module, or a power line communication (PLC) module). A corresponding one of these communication modules may communicate with the external electronic device 104 via the first network 198 (e.g., a short-range communication network, such as Bluetooth™, wireless-fidelity (Wi-Fi) direct, or infrared data association (IrDA)) or the second network 199 (e.g., a long-range communication network, such as a legacy cellular network, a 5G network, a next-generation communication network, the Internet, or a computer network (e.g., a LAN or a wide region network (WAN)). These various types of communication modules may be implemented as a single component (e.g., a single chip), or may be implemented as multi components (e.g., multi chips) separate from each other. The wireless communication module 192 may identify and authenticate the electronic device 101 in a communication network, such as the first network 198 or the second network 199, using subscriber information (e.g., international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI)) stored in the SIM 196.

The wireless communication module 192 may support a 5G network after a 4G network, and a next-generation communication technology, e.g., a new radio (NR) access technology. The NR access technology may support enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), massive machine type communications (mMTC), or ultra-reliable and low-latency communications (URLLC). The wireless communication module 192 may support a high-frequency band (e.g., a mmWave band) to achieve, e.g., a high data transmission rate. The wireless communication module 192 may support various technologies for securing performance on a high-frequency band, such as, e.g., beamforming, massive multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO), full dimensional MIMO (FD-MIMO), an array antenna, analog beam-forming, or a large scale antenna. The wireless communication module 192 may support various requirements specified in the electronic device 101, an external electronic device (e.g., the electronic device 104), or a network system (e.g., the second network 199). According to one embodiment, the wireless communication module 192 may support a peak data rate (e.g., 20 Gbps or more) for implementing eMBB, loss coverage (e.g., 164 dB or less) for implementing mMTC, or U-plane latency (e.g., 0.5 ms or less for each of downlink (DL) and uplink (UL), or a round trip of 1 ms or less) for implementing URLLC.

The antenna module 197 may transmit or receive a signal or power to or from the outside (e.g., the external electronic device) of the electronic device 101.

In such a case, at least one antenna appropriate for a communication scheme used in a communication network, such as the first network 198 or the second network 199, may be selected by, for example, the communication module 190 from the plurality of antennas. The signal or the power may be transmitted or received between the communication module 190 and the external electronic device via the at least one selected antenna. According to one embodiment, another component (e.g., a radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC)) other than the radiating element may be additionally formed as a part of the antenna module 197.

According to various embodiments, the antenna module 197 may form a mmWave antenna module.

According to one embodiment, all or some of operations to be executed by the electronic device 101 may be executed at one or more external electronic devices (e.g., the external devices 102 and 104, and the server 108). For example, if the electronic device 101 needs to perform a function or a service automatically, or in response to a request from a user or another device, the electronic device 101, instead of, or in addition to, executing the function or the service, may request one or more external electronic devices to perform at least part of the function or the service. The one or more external electronic devices receiving the request may perform the at least part of the function or the service requested, or an additional function or an additional service related to the request, and may transfer an outcome of the performing to the electronic device 101. The electronic device 101 may provide the outcome, with or without further processing of the outcome, as at least part of a reply to the request. To that end, a cloud computing, distributed computing, mobile edge computing (MEC), or client-server computing technology may be used, for example.

In one embodiment, the front surface 210a may be formed by the first plate 211 of which at least a portion is substantially transparent. For example, the first plate 211 may include a polymer plate or a glass plate including at least one coating layer. In one embodiment, the rear surface 210b may be formed of the second plate 212 that is substantially opaque. For example, the second plate 212 may be formed of coated or tinted glass, ceramic, polymer, metal (e.g., aluminum, stainless steel, or magnesium), or a combination thereof. The side surface 210c may be coupled to the first plate 211 and the second plate 212 and may be formed by the side member 213 including metal and/or polymer. In one embodiment, the second plate 212 and the side member 213 may be integrally and seamlessly formed. In one embodiment, the second plate 212 and the side member 213 may be formed of substantially the same material (e.g., aluminum). For example, the second plate 212 may include an individual camera window 2123 for each camera module (e.g., a second camera module 242).

In one embodiment, the side member 213 may surround at least a portion of the inner space between the front surface 210a and the rear surface 210b. The support member 220 may be disposed in the inner space of the housing 210. For example, the support member 220 may be connected (directly or indirectly) to the side member 213 or may be formed integrally with the side member 213. The support member 220 may form an arrangement space of components of the electronic device 201. The support member 220 may include a first support member 221 and a second support member 222. For example, the first support member 221 may connect (directly or indirectly) an edge of the first plate 211 and an edge of the second plate 212 and may surround a space between the first plate 211 and the second plate 212. For example, the display 230 may be coupled to one surface (e.g., a surface in the +z direction) of the first support member 221. The second support member 222 may be disposed on another surface (e.g., a surface in the −z direction) of the first support member 221. However, this is merely an example, and the second support member 222 may also be formed integrally with the first support member 221. The second plate 212 may be disposed on one surface (e.g., a surface in the −z direction) of the second support member 222. In one embodiment, at least a portion of the side member 213 may be formed of a conductive material. For example, the first support member 221 may be formed of a metal and/or a conductive polymer material. In one embodiment, like the first support member 221, the second support member 222 may be formed of a metal and/or a conductive polymer material.

In one embodiment, the electronic device 201 may include a display 230 (e.g., the display module 160 of FIG. 1). In one embodiment, the display 230 may be positioned on the front surface 210a. In one embodiment, the display 230 may be exposed through at least a portion of the front plate (e.g., first plate 211). In one embodiment, the display 230 may have a shape that is substantially the same as a shape of an outer edge of the first plate 211. In some embodiments, a periphery of the display 230 may substantially coincide with the outer edge of the first plate 211. In one embodiment, the display 230 may include a touch sensing circuit, a pressure sensor for sensing an intensity (pressure) of a touch, and/or a digitizer for detecting a magnetic-type stylus pen.

In one embodiment, the electronic device 201 may include the camera module 240 (e.g., the camera module 180 of FIG. 1). In one embodiment, the camera module 240 may include a first camera module 241 and a second camera module 242. In one embodiment, the first camera module 241 may be disposed to be visually exposed through the front surface 210a of the housing 210, and the second camera module 242 may be disposed to be visually exposed through the rear surface 210b of the housing 210. In one embodiment, at least a portion of the first camera module 241 may be disposed in the housing 210 so as to be covered through the display 230. Although one second camera module 242 is illustrated in FIG. 2C, this is an example for convenience of description and illustration, and one or a plurality of second camera modules 242 may be provided.

FIG. 3A is an exploded perspective view illustrating a portion of an electronic device according to one embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 3A, in one embodiment, the second camera module 242 may be installed on the support member 220. For example, a lower side (e.g., a +z direction side) of the second camera module 242 may be installed on the first support member 221. At least a portion of the second camera module 242 may be exposed through a first hole 2221 formed in the second support member 222.

In one embodiment, the second camera module 242 may include a bracket 2421, a barrel 2422, a camera 2423, and a flexible printed circuit board (FPCB) 2424.

In one embodiment, the bracket 2421 may provide a space in which the camera 2423 is installed. A lower side (e.g., the +z direction side) of the bracket 2421 may be fixedly connected (directly or indirectly) to the first support member 221. The camera 2423 may be disposed in the barrel 2422. The barrel 2422 may be connected to the bracket 2421. The FPCB 2424 may be electrically connected to the camera 2423 to transmit an electrical signal to the camera 2423. For example, the FPCB 2424 may extend from the camera 2423 in one direction (e.g., a −x direction). However, this is merely an example, and the second camera module 242 may also be installed on the first support member 221 directly without the bracket 2421.

In one embodiment, the first support member 221 and the second support member 222 may form the arrangement space of components of the electronic device 201. For example, the first support member 221 may be a front support member disposed on a front surface (e.g., a surface in the +z direction) of the electronic device 201. For example, the second support member 222 may be a rear support member disposed on a rear surface (e.g., a surface in the −z direction) of the electronic device 201. The second support member 222 may be connected (directly or indirectly) to a rear surface (e.g., a surface in the −z direction) of the first support member 221.

In one embodiment, the second support member 222 may include a first hole 2221, a second hole 2222, a rail 2223, and a communication hole 2224.

In one embodiment, the first hole 2221 may be formed through the second support member 222 in one direction (e.g., the z direction). The first hole 2221 may be formed at a position corresponding to the camera 2423 of the second camera module 242. For example, at least a portion of the second camera module 242 (e.g., the camera 2423) may pass through the first hole 2221 or may be exposed through the first hole 2221. For example, the first hole 2221 may have a circular shape. A diameter of the first hole 2221 may be substantially equal to or greater than a diameter of the barrel 2422 of the second camera module 242. However, this is merely an example, and a position, a shape, and/or a size of the first hole 2221 are not limited thereto.

In one embodiment, the first hole 2221 may be formed through the second support member 222 in one direction (e.g., the z direction). The second hole 2222 may be formed adjacent or proximate to the first hole 2221. For example, the second hole 2222 may be formed in a position that at least partially overlaps the FPCB 2424 of the second camera module 242 when the electronic device 201 is viewed from the front side (e.g., viewed from the surface in the +z direction). The second hole 2222 may be formed in a longitudinal direction toward the first hole 2221. For example, the second hole 2222 may be formed in a rectangular shape having a longitudinal direction in the x direction. However, this is merely an example, and a position, a shape, and/or a size of the second hole 2222 are not limited thereto.

In one embodiment, the rail 2223 may be formed in the second hole 2222 in the longitudinal direction (e.g., the x direction) of the second hole 2222. A pair of rails 2223 may be formed on both facing side surfaces of the second hole 2222 (e.g., surfaces in the +y direction and the −y direction), respectively. For example, the rails 2223 may protrude from both facing side surfaces (e.g., the surfaces in the +y direction and the −y direction) of the second hole 2222 by a designated length in opposite directions (e.g., the −y direction and the +y direction). Similarly to the second hole 2222, the rails 2223 may be formed to have the longitudinal direction toward the first hole 2221. For example, the rails 2223 may be formed in a longitudinal direction in the x direction.

In one embodiment, the communication hole 2224 may allow the first hole 2221 and the second hole 2222 to communicate with each other. For example, the communication hole 2224 may be recessed to a designated depth from one surface (e.g., a surface in the +z direction) of the second support member 222 so that the first hole 2221 and the second hole 2222 may communicate with each other. However, this is merely an example, and the communication hole 2224 may also be formed through the second support member 222 in one direction (e.g., the z direction).

In one embodiment, the sliding assembly 300 may be installed in the second hole 2222 to be slidable along the rail 2223. The sliding assembly 300 may be configured to adjust an installation state of the second camera module 242. For example, the sliding assembly 300 may be configured to improve tilting and/or decentering of the second camera module 242.

In one embodiment, the sliding assembly 300 may include a first sliding member 310, a second sliding member 320, and a fastening member 330.

In one embodiment, the first sliding member 310 and the second sliding member 320 may be installed in the second hole 2222 of the second support member 222. The first sliding member 310 and the second sliding member 320 may be installed in the second hole 2222 in opposite directions such that the rails 2223 may be positioned therebetween. For example, the first sliding member 310 may be installed in the second hole 2222 in a first direction D1 (e.g., the +z direction) from one side (e.g., a −z direction side) of the second hole 2222. For example, the second sliding member 320 may be installed in the second hole 2222 in a second direction D2 (e.g., the −z direction) opposite to the first direction D1 (e.g., the +z direction) from another side (e.g., a +z direction side) of the second hole 2222. However, this is merely an example, and the first sliding member 310 and the second sliding member 320 may also be installed in positions opposite to those shown in FIG. 3A in the second hole 2222. For example, in one embodiment, the second sliding member 320 may be installed in the first direction D1 (e.g., the +z direction) from the one side (e.g., the side in the −z direction) of the second hole 2222 in the second hole 2222, and the first sliding member 310 may be installed in the second direction D2 (e.g., the −z direction) from the other side (e.g., the side in the +z direction side) of the second hole 2222 in the second hole 2222. The first sliding member 310 and the second sliding member 320 may have structures to be coupled to each other.

In one embodiment, the fastening member 330 may fasten the first sliding member 310 and the second sliding member 320 to each other. For example, the fastening member 330 may penetrate the first sliding member 310 and the second sliding member 320 in the first direction D1. The fastening member/fastener 330 may include, for example, a bolt or screw. By adjusting a fastening strength of the fastening member 330, a degree to which the first sliding member 310 and the second sliding member 320 are in close contact with the rail 2223 may be adjusted. For example, by adjusting the fastening strength of the fastening member 330, the sliding assembly 300 may be slidable with respect to the second hole 2222, or a position of the sliding assembly 300 may be fixed to the second hole 2222. For example, the fastening strength may be adjusted by rotating the fastening member 330 (e.g., a bolt or screw).

FIG. 3B is a perspective view of a first sliding member according to one embodiment. FIG. 3C is a rear perspective view of the first sliding member according to one embodiment.

Referring to FIGS. 3A to 3C, the first sliding member 310 according to one embodiment may include a first main body 311, a first extension body 312, a first hook portion 313, a second hook portion 314, and an aligning protrusion 315.

In one embodiment, the first main body 311 may be provided substantially in a plate shape or a block shape. The first main body 311 may be seated on one side (e.g., a side in the −z direction side) of the second hole 2222. A width (e.g., a y-direction length) of the first main body 311 may substantially correspond to a width (e.g., a y-directional length) of the second hole 2222, or may be less than the width (e.g., the y-directional length) of the second hole 2222 and greater than a gap (e.g., a gap in the y direction) between the rails 2223. A length (e.g., an x-directional length) of the first main body 311 may be less than a length (e.g., an x-directional length) of the second hole 2222 by a designated length.

In one embodiment, a first through-hole 3111 may be formed in the first main body 311. For example, the first through-hole 3111 may be formed through the first main body 311 in one direction (e.g., the z direction). For example, the first through-hole 3111 may be formed in a central portion of the first main body 311. The first through-hole 3111 may be a hole through which the fastening member 330 passes.

In one embodiment, a shoulder 3112 may be formed on a surface (e.g., a surface in the −z-direction) of the first main body 311 facing the second direction D2. For example, the shoulder 3112 may protrude from the surface (e.g., the surface in the −z-direction) of the first main body 311 facing the second direction D2. The shoulder 3112 may be formed along a periphery of a head portion of the fastening member 330 based on a state in which the fastening member 330 is fastened. The shoulder 3112 may form a space for locating the head portion of the fastening member 330 in the state in which the fastening member 330 is fastened. For example, a space formed by shoulders 3112 may be a substantially circular space. However, this is merely an example, and the shoulder 3112 may also be formed if a region corresponding to the head portion of the fastening member 330 is relatively recessed from the surface (e.g., the surface in the −z direction) of the first main body 311 facing the second direction D2.

In one embodiment, a flange 3113 may be formed on a surface (e.g., a surface in the +z direction) of the first main body 311 facing the first direction D1. The flange 3113 may refer to end portions of both sides (e.g., −y and +y direction sides) of the first main body 311. The flange 3113 may be a region in which the first sliding member 310 is in contact with the rail 2223.

In one embodiment, the first extension body 312 may extend from one side (e.g., the +x directional side) of the first main body 311. For example, the first extension body 312 may extend from the first main body 311 toward the first hole 2221. The first extension body 312 may be bent in first direction D1 (e.g., the +z direction) to have a height difference from the first main body 311. For example, the first extension body 312 may extend from one side (e.g., the +x directional side) of the first main body 311 in the first direction D1 (e.g., the +z direction), may be bent and may extend in a direction (e.g., the +x direction) toward the first hole 2221. However, this is merely an example, and a shape of the first extension body 312 is not limited thereto. At least a portion of the first extension body 312 may be positioned in the communication hole 2224. One end portion (e.g., an end portion in the +x direction) of the first extension body 312 may be a contact end portion 3121 that is contactable with the second camera module 242. For example, the contact end portion 3121 may be contactable with the barrel 2422 of the second camera module 242. The contact end portion 3121 may be formed to have a curvature corresponding to an outer circumference of the barrel 2422.

In one embodiment, the first hook portion 313 may protrude from a surface (e.g., a surface in the +z direction) of the first main body 311 facing the first direction D1. At least one pair of first hook portions 313 may be formed. The pair of first hook portions 313 may be formed such that hook heads 3131 of the first hook portions 313 may face directions opposite to each other. For example, in the pair of first hook portions 313, the hook heads 3131 may face a −y direction and a +y direction, respectively. The pair of first hook portions 313 may be formed on both sides (e.g., a −y side and a +y side) of the first main body 311, respectively. The pair of first hook portions 313 may be formed in positions spaced apart inwardly from both end portions (e.g., a −y side end portion and a +y side end portion) of the first main body 311 such that flanges 3113 may be formed on both sides of the first main body 311. For example, a region between the first hook portion 313 and a side end portion (e.g., a −y side end portion or a +y side end portion) of the first main body 311 may be defined as the flange 3113.

In one embodiment, the second hook portion 314 may be formed to protrude from a surface (e.g., a surface in the +z direction) of the first main body 311 facing the first direction D1. One or a plurality of second hook portions 314 may be formed. For example, a pair of second hook portions 314 may be formed. For example, the pair of second hook portions 314 may be spaced apart from each other such that the first through-hole 3111 may be positioned therebetween. For example, one second hook portion 314 may be formed on one side (e.g., a side in the +x direction) of the first main body 311, and the other second hook portion 314 may be formed on another side (e.g., a side in the −x direction) of the first main body 311. For example, hook heads 3141 of the pair of second hook portions 314 may be formed to face the +x direction. However, this is merely an example, and a number of second hook portions 314, a position of the second hook portion 314, and/or a shape of the second hook portion 314 are not limited thereto.

In one embodiment, the aligning protrusion 315 may protrude from a surface (e.g., a surface in the +z direction) of the first main body 311 facing the first direction D1. One or a plurality of aligning protrusions 315 may be formed. For example, two aligning protrusions 315 may be formed. For example, two aligning protrusions 315 may be spaced apart from each other on another end portion (e.g., an end portion in the −x direction) of the first main body 311. However, this is merely an example, and a number of aligning protrusions 315, a position of the aligning protrusion 315, and/or a shape of the aligning protrusion 315 are not limited thereto.

FIG. 3D is a perspective view illustrating a second sliding member according to one embodiment. FIG. 3E is a plan view illustrating a second sliding member according to one embodiment.

Referring to FIGS. 3A, 3D, and 3E, the second sliding member 320 according to one embodiment may include a second main body 321 and a second extension body 322.

In one embodiment, the second main body 321 may be provided substantially in a plate shape or a block shape. The second main body 321 may be seated on the other side (e.g., the +z direction side) of the second hole 2222. A width (e.g., a y-directional length) of the second main body 321 may substantially correspond to the gap (e.g., a gap in the y direction) between the rails 2223, or may be less than the gap (e.g., a gap in the y direction) between the rails 2223. A length (e.g., an x-directional length) of the second main body 321 may be less than the length (e.g., the x-directional length) of the second hole 2222 by a designated length.

In one embodiment, a second through-hole 3211 may be formed in the second main body 321. For example, the second through-hole 3211 may be formed through the second main body 321 in one direction (e.g., the z direction). For example, the second through-hole 3211 may be formed in a central portion of the second main body 321. In a state in which the first sliding member 310 and the second sliding member 320 are coupled to each other, the second through-hole 3211 may be formed in a position corresponding to a first through-hole (e.g., the first through-hole 3111 of FIG. 3B). The second through-hole 3211 may be a hole through which the fastening member 330 passes. For example, a screw thread for coupling with the fastening member 330 may be formed on an inner circumferential surface of the second through-hole 3211. For example, the second through-hole 3211 may be formed by forming a tab through burring in the second main body 321.

In one embodiment, a hook insertion hole 3212 may be formed in the second main body 321. For example, the hook insertion hole 3212 may be formed through the second main body 321 in one direction (e.g., the z direction). The hook insertion hole 3212 may be a hole into which a second hook portion (e.g., the second hook portion 314 of FIG. 3C) of the first sliding member 310 is inserted and fastened. The hook insertion hole 3212 may be formed in a position corresponding to the second hook portion 314, and a number of hook insertion holes 3212 may correspond to a number of second hook portions 314. For example, two hook insertion holes 3212 may be formed. In this example, one hook insertion hole 3212 may be formed on one side (e.g., a +x direction side) of the second main body 321, and the other hook insertion hole 3212 may be formed on the other side (e.g., a −x direction side) of the second main body 321.

In one embodiment, an alignment hole 3213 may be formed in the second main body 321. For example, the alignment hole 3213 may be formed through the second main body 321 in one direction (e.g., the z direction). The alignment hole 3213 may be a hole into which an aligning protrusion (e.g., the aligning protrusion 315 of FIG. 3C) of the first sliding member 310 is inserted. The alignment hole 3213 may be formed in a position corresponding to the aligning protrusion 315, and a number of alignment holes 3213 may correspond to a number of aligning protrusions 315. For example, two alignment holes 3213 may be formed. The two alignment holes 3213 may be spaced apart from each other on the other end portion (e.g., the end portion in the −x direction) of the second main body 321. The alignment hole 3213 may be formed in a shape and size substantially corresponding to those of the aligning protrusion 315.

In one embodiment, the second extension body 322 may extend from each of both sides (e.g., a −x direction side and a +x direction side) of the second main body 321. At least one pair of second extension bodies 322 may be formed. For example, two pairs of second extension bodies 322 may be formed. For example, the two pairs of second extension bodies 322 may be spaced apart from each other in a longitudinal direction (e.g., the x direction) of the second main body 321. The second extension body 322 may be bent in the first direction D1 (e.g., the +z direction) to have a height difference from the second main body 321. For example, the second extension body 322 may extend from both sides (e.g., the −y direction side or the +y direction side) of the second main body 321 in the first direction D1 (e.g., the +z direction), may be bent and may extend in a direction (e.g., the −y direction or the +y direction). However, this is merely an example and a shape of the second extension body 322 is not limited thereto.

FIGS. 4A to 4D illustrate a process in which a sliding assembly according to one embodiment is installed in a second hole. Specifically, FIGS. 4A and 4B are perspective views illustrating a process in which the first sliding member is installed in the second hole in one embodiment, FIG. 4C is a perspective view illustrating a state in which a second sliding member is installed in the second hole in one embodiment, and FIG. 4D is a rear perspective view illustrating a state in which a fastening member is fastened in one embodiment.

Referring to FIGS. 4A and 4B, in one embodiment, the first sliding member 310 may be inserted into the second hole 2222 in the first direction D1 (e.g., the +z direction). For example, in a state in which the first extension body 312 is seated on the communication hole 2224, the first main body 311 may be inserted into the second hole 2222 in the first direction D1 until the hook head 3131 of the first hook portion 313 is caught in the rail 2223. Referring to FIG. 4B, the first extension body 312 may be seated in the communication hole 2224, and the rail 2223 may be positioned between the flange 3113 and the hook head 3131 of the first hook portion 313, and accordingly the first sliding member 310 may be installed in the second hole 2222.

Referring to FIG. 4C, in one embodiment, the second sliding member 320 may be inserted into the second hole 2222 in the second direction D2 (e.g., the −z direction). For example, in a state in which the first sliding member 310 is installed in the second hole 2222, the second sliding member 320 may be inserted into the second hole 2222 in the second direction D2 until the second hook portion 314 is inserted into the hook insertion hole 3212. In a state shown in FIG. 4C, the second sliding member 320 may be coupled to the first sliding member 310 by the second hook portion 314, and a surface (e.g., a surface in the −z direction) of the second extension body 322 facing the second direction D2 may be seated on the rail 2223. In a state in which the first sliding member 310 and the second sliding member 320 are coupled to each other, the second through-hole 3211 may communicate with a first through-hole (e.g., the first through-hole 3111 of FIG. 4B).

Referring to FIG. 4D, in a state in which the first sliding member 310 and a second sliding member (e.g., the second sliding member 320 of FIG. 4C) are individually installed in the second hole 2222 and are coupled to each other, the fastening member 330 may be inserted into a first through-hole (e.g., the first through-hole 3111 of FIG. 4B) and a second through-hole (e.g., the second through-hole 3211 of FIG. 4C) in the first direction D1 (e.g., the +z direction). For example, the fastening member 330 may be fastened through a screw thread formed in the second through-hole 3211.

FIG. 5A is a plan view illustrating a state in which a sliding assembly is installed in a second hole in one embodiment. FIG. 5B is a rear view illustrating a state in which the sliding assembly is installed in the second hole in one embodiment. FIG. 5C is a cross-sectional view taken along line A-A of FIG. 5A. FIG. 5D is a cross-sectional view taken along line B-B of FIG. 5A.

Referring to FIGS. 5A and 5B, in one embodiment, the sliding assembly 300 may be installed in the second hole 2222 to be slidable along the rail 2223. The second hook portion 314 may be inserted into the hook insertion hole 3212, so that the first sliding member 310 and the second sliding member 320 may be coupled to each other. The aligning protrusion 315 of the first sliding member 310 may be inserted into the alignment hole 3213 of the second sliding member 320 and positioned, so that relative positions of the first sliding member 310 and the second sliding member 320 may be aligned. For example, the aligning protrusion 315 may be inserted into the alignment hole 3213 and positioned, to prevent or reduce a rotational movement (e.g., a rotation about a z-axis) and/or a translational movement (e.g., a translational movement in the x direction or the y direction) of the second sliding member 320 with respect to the first sliding member 310.

In one embodiment, the fastening member 330 may be installed through the first through-hole 3111 and the second through-hole 3211, so that the first sliding member 310 and the second sliding member 320 may be fastened to each other. The rail 2223 may be positioned between the flange 3113 of the first sliding member 310 and the second extension body 322 of the second sliding member 320. The first main body 311 of the first sliding member 310 and the second main body 321 of the second sliding member 320 may be positioned to be spaced apart from each other. Based on the above structure, the fastening strength (e.g., a degree of rotation of a screw thread of the fastening member 330) of the fastening member 330 may be adjusted, and accordingly a separation distance between the flange 3113 and the second extension body 322 may be adjusted. For example, when the fastening member 330 is strongly fastened, the separation distance between the flange 3113 and the second extension body 322 may be reduced, a strong frictional force may be generated between the rail 2223 and each of the flange 3113 and the second extension body 322. Thus, in such a state, sliding of the first sliding member 310 and the second sliding member 320 along the rail 2223 may be limited. As a result, the fastening member 330 may perform a function of fixing relative positions of the first sliding member 310 and the second sliding member 320 along the rail 2223. If sliding of the sliding assembly 300 with respect to the rail 2223 is required, the separation distance between the flange 3113 and the second extension body 322 may be increased by unfastening the fastening member 330. For example, when the screw thread of the fastening member 330 is unscrewed by a predetermined pitch, a frictional force between the rail 2223 and each of the flange 3113 and the second extension body 322 may be relatively reduced so that the flange 3113 and the second extension body 322 may be slidable along the rail 2223. As a result, the sliding assembly 300 may be slidable along the rail 2223.

In one embodiment, a surface of the rail 2223 may be a curved surface. For example, a surface (e.g., a surface in the −z direction and/or +z direction) of the rail 2223 in contact with the flange 3113 and/or the second extension body 322 may protrude and may be formed as a curved surface. Based on the above structure, the rail 2223 may be in line contact (e.g., a line contact in the x direction) with the flange 3113 and/or the second extension body 322. Thus, a frictional resistance generated when the flange 3113 and/or the second extension body 322 slides in contact with the rail 2223 may be reduced.

FIG. 6A is a plan view illustrating an initial installation state of a sliding assembly according to one embodiment. FIG. 6B is a plan view illustrating a state in which a position of a second camera module is adjusted using the sliding assembly according to one embodiment. FIGS. 6C to 6E are cross-sectional views illustrating a process of adjusting the position of the second camera module using the sliding assembly according to one embodiment.

Referring to FIGS. 6A to 6E, in one embodiment, the second camera module 242 may be tilted and/or decentered in an initial installation process. For example, as shown in FIG. 6C, the second camera module 242 may be tilted with respect to a central axis by tension applied by the FPCB 2424 connected (directly or indirectly) to the second camera module 242. For example, a side (e.g., a −x direction side) of the second camera module 242 connected (directly or indirectly) to the FPCB 2424 may be lifted relatively upwards (e.g., toward a −z direction side). However, this is merely an example, and a state in which the second camera module 242 is tilted and/or decentered is not limited thereto. If the second camera module 242 is tilted, the second camera module 242 may be decentered. For example, as shown in FIG. 6A, a central portion of the second camera module 242 may deviate from a reference position. For example, such decentering may be detected through a contrast with a reference hole of a vision inspector.

In one embodiment, when tilting and/or decentering of the second camera module 242 is detected, an installation state of the second camera module 242 may be adjusted through the movement of the sliding assembly 300. In an initial state, the sliding assembly 300 may be installed in the second hole 2222 such that the first sliding member 310 may be spaced apart from the second camera module 242. For example, as shown in FIG. 6A, in the initial state, the sliding assembly 300 may be installed in a position (e.g., a position on the −x direction side) far from the first hole 2221 in the second hole 2222. For example, in the initial state, the contact end portion 3121 of the first sliding member 310 may be spaced apart from the second camera module 242. To slide the sliding assembly 300, the fastening member 330 may be unfastened. For example, as shown in FIG. 6C, the screw thread of the fastening member 330 may be unscrewed by a predetermined pitch. In a state in which the fastening member 330 is unfastened, the sliding assembly 300 may slide toward the second camera module 242 along the rail 2223 as shown in FIGS. 6A-6B and 6D. For example, a shoulder (e.g., the shoulder 3112 of FIG. 3B) of the first sliding member 310 may be pushed toward the second camera module 242, so that the sliding assembly 300 may be slid. In the above process, the contact end portion 3121 of the first sliding member 310 may come into contact with a portion (e.g., the barrel 2422) of the second camera module 242. The sliding assembly 300 may slide toward the second camera module 242 in a state in which the contact end portion 3121 is in contact with one side (e.g., the −x direction side) of the second camera module 242, to support the one side (e.g., the −x direction side) of the second camera module 242, thereby correcting the tilting and/or decentering of the second camera module 242. For example, the contact end portion 3121 of the sliding assembly 300 may press and support one side (e.g., the −x direction side) of the second camera module 242 which is lifted relatively upwards (e.g., toward a −z direction side), thereby correcting the tilting and/or decentering of the second camera module 242. For example, a sliding distance of the sliding assembly 300 may be adjusted according to a degree to which the second camera module 242 is tilted and/or decentered. If an adjustment of the installation state of the second camera module 242 is completed, the position of the sliding assembly 300 may be fixed to the second hole 2222 by the fastening member 330. For example, as shown in FIG. 6E, as the fastening member 330 is maximally or largely fastened, sliding of the sliding assembly 300 along the rail 2223 may be limited, so that the position of the sliding assembly 300 may be fixed to the second hole 2222. Based on the above configuration, the tilting and/or decentering of the second camera module 242 may be detected in advance, and the installation state of the second camera module 242 may be adjusted in advance. If the adjustment of the installation state of the second camera module 242 is completed, a second plate (e.g., the second plate 212 of FIG. 2C) may be assembled.

Although the sliding assembly 300 according to one embodiment is illustrated and described based on the second camera module 242, this is merely an example, and the sliding assembly 300 may be applied to various camera modules. For example, the sliding assembly 300 may also be applied to a first camera module (e.g., the first camera module 241 of FIG. 2A).

FIG. 7A is an exploded perspective view of an electronic device according to one embodiment. FIG. 7B is a plan view illustrating a state in which a camera window is not assembled in an electronic device according to one embodiment.

Referring to FIGS. 7A and 7B, in a second plate 212′ of the electronic device 201 according to one embodiment, windows for each camera module (e.g., the second camera module 242) may be integrally formed. For example, the second plate 212′ according to one embodiment may include a cover plate 2121′, a window arrangement portion 2122′, and a camera window 2123′.

In one embodiment, the cover plate 2121′ may be formed in a plate shape and may form an exterior of the second plate 212′. The cover plate 2121′ may be connected to the side member 213 to cover a support member (e.g., the support member 220 of FIG. 2C) on a rear surface (e.g., a surface in the −z direction) of the support member 220. The window arrangement portion 2122′ may be positioned on the rear surface (e.g., a surface in the −z direction) of the cover plate 2121′. For example, the window arrangement portion 2122′ may be positioned to cover the second camera module 242. The window arrangement portion 2122′ may provide a space for an arrangement of the camera window 2123′. For example, the window arrangement portion 2122′ may include a camera decoration portion. The camera window 2123′ may be formed of a transparent or translucent material. The camera window 2123′ may be disposed on the window arrangement portion 2122′.

In one embodiment, a third hole 21221′ and a fourth hole 21222′ may be formed in the window arrangement portion 2122′. Based on a state in which the cover plate 2121′ is connected to the side member 213, the third hole 21221′ may be formed at a position substantially corresponding to the first hole 2221. Based on the state in which the cover plate 2121′ is connected to the side member 213, the fourth hole 21222′ may be formed at a position substantially corresponding to the second hole 2222. Based on the above configuration, in the state in which the cover plate 2121′ is connected to the side member 213, the second camera module 242 may be exposed through the third hole 21221′, and the sliding assembly 300 may be exposed through the fourth hole 21222′. Accordingly, in the state in which the cover plate 2121′ is connected to the side member 213, the installation state of the second camera module 242 may be adjusted through the movement of the sliding assembly 300 exposed through the fourth hole 21222′. If the adjustment of the installation state of the second camera module 242 is completed, the camera window 2123′ may be coupled to the window arrangement portion 2122′.

FIG. 8A is a perspective view illustrating a state in which a sliding assembly according to one embodiment is installed. FIG. 8B is a plan view illustrating the state in which the sliding assembly according to one embodiment is installed. FIGS. 8C to 8F are cross-sectional views illustrating a process of adjusting a position of a second camera module using the sliding assembly according to one embodiment.

Referring to FIGS. 8A to 8F, a sliding assembly 400 according to one embodiment may include a first sliding member 410, a second sliding member 420, and a fastening member 430.

In one embodiment, the first sliding member 410 may include an insertion body 416 extending from a first extension body 412. For example, the insertion body 416 may extend from the first extension body 412 toward the first hole 2221. For example, the insertion body 416 may extend in the +x direction. The insertion body 416 may include a first insertion body 4161 and a second insertion body 4162. The first insertion body 4161 may extend from the first extension body 412 by a first width (e.g., a y-directional length), and the second insertion body 4162 may extend from the first insertion body 4161 by a second width (e.g., a y-directional length) that is greater than the first width. For example, as shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B, the insertion body 416 may be formed substantially in a “T” shape. However, this is merely an example, and a shape of the insertion body 416 is not limited thereto.

In one embodiment, an insertion groove 24221 for insertion of at least a portion of the insertion body 416 of the first sliding member 410 may be formed in the barrel 2422 of the second camera module 242. The insertion groove 24221 may be formed such that an upper side (e.g., the −z direction side) may be opened. The insertion groove 24221 may be formed in a shape corresponding to that of at least a portion of the insertion body 416. For example, the insertion groove 24221 may have a shape corresponding to those of the first insertion body 4161 and the second insertion body 4162. For example, the insertion groove 24221 may be formed substantially in a “T” shape. However, this is merely an example, and a shape of the insertion groove 24221 is not limited thereto.

In one embodiment, the communication groove 2224 of the second support member 222 may be formed to penetrate the second support member 222 in one direction (e.g., the z-direction).

In one embodiment, if tilting and/or decentering of the second camera module 242 is detected, the installation state of the second camera module 242 may be adjusted through a movement of the sliding assembly 400. In an initial state, the sliding assembly 400 may be installed in the second hole 2222 such that the first sliding member 410 may be spaced apart from the second camera module 242. For example, as shown in FIG. 8C, in the initial state, the sliding assembly 400 may be installed in a position (e.g., a position on the −x direction side) far from the first hole 2221 in the second hole 2222. For example, in the initial state, the insertion body 416 of the first sliding member 410 may be spaced apart from the second camera module 242. To slide the sliding assembly 400, the fastening member 430 may be unfastened. For example, as shown in FIG. 8C, a screw thread of the fastening member 430 may be unscrewed by a predetermined pitch. In a state in which the fastening member 430 is unfastened, the first sliding member 410 may be moved relatively upwards (e.g., in the −z direction) with respect to the second sliding member 420, as shown in FIG. 8D. For example, the first sliding member 410 may be lifted to a height enough to allow the insertion body 416 to be inserted into the insertion groove 24221. In such a state, the sliding assembly 400 may be moved toward the second camera module 242 along the rail 2223 (e.g., in the +x direction) and subsequently moved downwards (e.g., in the +z direction), so that the insertion body 416 may be inserted into the insertion groove 24221. For example, in a state in which the insertion body 416 is inserted into the insertion groove 24221, as shown in FIG. 8E, the second camera module 242 may be supported while an upper side (e.g., a −z direction side) is being pressed by the sliding assembly 400, and accordingly the installation state of the second camera module 242 may be improved. In addition, the sliding assembly 400 may slide along the rail 2223 in the state in which the insertion body 416 is inserted into the insertion groove 24221, so that the installation state of the second camera module 242 may be precisely adjusted. For example, the sliding assembly 400 may slide in a direction (e.g., the +x direction) close to the second camera module 242, or slide in a direction (e.g., the −x direction) away from the second camera module 242 in the state in which the insertion body 416 is inserted into the insertion groove 24221, so that the installation state of the second camera module 242 may be precisely adjusted. For example, a sliding direction and/or a movement distance of the sliding assembly 400 may be adjusted according to the degree to which the second camera module 242 is tilted and/or decentered. If the adjustment of the installation state of the second camera module 242 is completed, a position of the sliding assembly 400 may be fixed to the second hole 2222 by the fastening member 430. For example, as shown in FIG. 8F, if the fastening member 430 is maximally or largely fastened, sliding of the sliding assembly 400 along the rail 2223 may be limited, so that the position of the sliding assembly 400 may be fixed to the second hole 2222.

FIG. 9A is a plan view illustrating a state in which a sliding assembly according to one embodiment is installed. FIG. 9B is a cross-sectional view illustrating a state in which the sliding assembly according to one embodiment is inserted into a second camera module. Each camera module herein includes at least part of a camera.

Referring to FIGS. 9A and 9B, in one embodiment, the first sliding member 410 may include an insertion body 416′ extending from the first extension body 412. The insertion body 416′ may include a first insertion body 4161′ and a third insertion body 4163′. The first insertion body 4161′ may extend in one direction (e.g., the +x direction) from the first extension body 412, and the third insertion body 4163′ may protrude from a bottom surface (e.g., a surface in the +z direction) of the first insertion body 4161′. For example, the third insertion body 4163′ may be formed substantially in a projection shape. However, this is merely an example, and a shape of the insertion body 416′ is not limited thereto.

In one embodiment, an insertion groove 24221′ for insertion of at least a portion of the insertion body 416′ of the first sliding member 410 may be formed in the barrel 2422 of the second camera module 242. The insertion groove 24221′ may be formed such that an upper side (e.g., the −z direction side) may be opened. The insertion groove 24221′ may be formed in a shape corresponding to that of at least a portion of the insertion body 416′. For example, the insertion groove 24221′ may have a shape corresponding to those of the first insertion body 4161′ and the third insertion body 4163′. For example, the insertion groove 24221′ may include a space into which each of the first insertion body 4161′ and the third insertion body 4163′ is inserted. However, this is merely an example, and a shape of the insertion groove 24221′ is not limited thereto.

In the examples of FIGS. 9A and 9B, the installation state of the second camera module 242 may be adjusted in substantially the same manner as the examples described with reference to FIGS. 8A to 8F.

FIG. 10A is a plan view illustrating a state in which a sliding assembly according to one embodiment is installed. FIG. 10B is a cross-sectional view taken along line C-C of FIG. 10A.

Referring to FIGS. 10A and 10B, in one embodiment, the first sliding member 410 may include an insertion body 416″ extending from the first extension body 412. The insertion body 416″ may include a first insertion body 4161″ and a fourth insertion body 4164″. The first insertion body 4161″ may extend from the first extension body 412 to both sides (e.g., a −y direction side and a +y direction side). For example, the first insertion body 4161″ may be shaped to surround at least a portion of an outer diameter of the barrel 2422. The fourth insertion body 4164″ may protrude from a bottom surface (e.g., a surface in the +z direction) of both end portions (e.g., a −y side end portion or a +y side end portion) of the first insertion body 4161″. For example, the fourth insertion body 4164″ may be formed substantially in a projection shape. However, this is merely an example, and a shape of the insertion body 416″ is not limited thereto.

In one embodiment, an insertion groove 24221″ for insertion of at least a portion of the insertion body 416″ of the first sliding member 410 may be formed in the barrel 2422 of the second camera module 242. The insertion groove 24221″ may be formed such that an upper side (e.g., a −z direction side) may be opened. The insertion groove 24221″ may be formed in a shape corresponding to that of at least a portion of the insertion body 416″. For example, the insertion groove 24221″ may be depressed in a position corresponding to the fourth insertion body 4164″ in a shape corresponding to that of the fourth insertion body 4164″ such that the fourth insertion body 4164″ may be inserted into the insertion groove 24221″. A number of insertion grooves 24221″ may correspond to a number of fourth insertion bodies 4164″. However, this is merely an example, and a shape of the insertion groove 24221″ is not limited thereto.

In the examples of FIGS. 10A and 10B, the installation state of the second camera module 242 may be adjusted in substantially the same manner as the examples described with reference to FIGS. 8A to 8F.
