The present invention relates to the technical field of electronic equipment, in particular to lifting assembly of electronic equipment, and electronic equipment.
Shoulder keys have been widely used in various kinds of electronic equipment. However, since solid shoulder keys are much higher than a shell of the electronic equipment, they are easily touched by mistake or affect the handfeel of the electronic equipment in daily use. Therefore, when a shoulder key is not used, the shoulder key needs to be pushed back into the electronic equipment. At present, a user pulls the shoulder key out of the electronic equipment or pushes the shoulder key into the electronic equipment, resulting in lower reliability of the shoulder key and easy damage. The user experience is poor because of manual pulling and pushing.

The lifting body 1 is driven to move by the Ampere force generated by the drive coil 3 and the first magnetic element 2, which reduces the possibility of a cumbersome operation caused by a user manually pushing a key, thus simplifying user's operations and improving the use experience of the user. The relative motion between the first mounting frame 4 and the second mounting frame 5 controls the motion of the lifting body 1, thus reducing the trend of abnormal motion of the lifting body 1 to improve the stability of the lifting body 1. The lifting body 1 is mounted on the first mounting frame 4, and the drive coil 3 is mounted on the second mounting frame 5, which improves the mounting stability of the lifting body 1 and the drive coil 3, and reduces the risk of an abnormal motion state of the lifting assembly due to the fact that the lifting body 1 and the drive coil 3 deviate from the predetermined mounting positions in a working process, thus improving the working stability of the lifting assembly and the drive coil 3 and improving the working stability of the electronic equipment.

As shown in
By the arrangement of a plurality of drive coils 3 and the first magnetic element 2, the number of load bearing positions of the second mounting frame 5 during the motion of the lifting assembly is increased, and the risk of tilting of the second mounting frame 5 due to local load bearing of the second mounting frame 5 is reduced, thus reducing the risk of interference between the lifting assembly and other parts in the electronic equipment, improving the motion stability of the lifting assembly, and prolonging the service lives of the lifting assembly and other parts in the electronic equipment.
A flow direction of current in the first coil 31 is the same as that of current in the second coil 32. At this time, the magnetism of the first magnetic body 21 is the same as that of the second magnetic body 22. The first magnetic body 21 and the second magnetic body 22 are spaced apart or integrally formed to improve the structural flexibility of the first magnetic element 2.
In the process of driving the lifting body 1 to move, the current modes in the first coil 31 and the second coil 32 are changed to change the directions of the Ampere forces generated by the first coil 31 and the second coil 32, so as to control the second mounting frame 5 to move in the positive or negative direction of the second direction X, and control the first mounting frame 4 to move in the positive or negative direction of the first direction Y, thus controlling the lifting assembly to extend or retract.
The flow direction of the current in the first coil 31 is opposite to that of the current in the second coil 32. At this time, the magnetism of the first magnetic body 21 is opposite to that of the second magnetic body 22. The first magnetic body 21 and the second magnetic body 22 are spaced apart.
In the process of driving the lifting body 1 to move, when power is made to the first coil 31, the first coil 31 generates an Ampere force in the positive direction of the second direction X, so as to drive the second mounting frame 5 to move in the positive direction of the second direction X, and then drive the first mounting frame 4 to move in the positive direction of the first direction Y. At this time, the lifting assembly extends. When power is made to the second coil 32, the second coil 32 generates an Ampere force in the negative direction of the second direction X, so as to drive the second mounting frame 5 to move in the negative direction of the second direction X, and then drive the first mounting frame 4 to move in the negative direction of the first direction Y. At this time, the lifting assembly retracts.
The flow direction of the current in the first coil 31 is opposite to the flow direction of the current in the second coil 32. It is only necessary to control the first coil 31 or the second coil 32 to be powered on or powered off to adjust the motion state of the lifting assembly, simplifying the control way of the lifting assembly and then simplifying the structure of the control assembly.
To sum up, when the lifting assembly is in a retract state, the lifting assembly at least partially retracts into the equipment body. At this time, as shown in
