Lifting camera head

Answer 1

The elevating camera was a camera design that was once popular on mobile phones. It has many advantages: First, it completes the full screen, does not occupy the space of the phone screen, brings a better visual experience to the user, and makes the field of vision wider; Second, it prevents interference. The lifting camera at the top of the phone can prevent fingers from blocking the line of sight, which is conducive to taking good photos; Third, it protects privacy. When not in use, it is hidden. If it is secretly photographed, the raised camera is easy to be discovered.

However, there were also many drawbacks to the camera:
1. ** Mechanical structure limitations **: It is installed on top of the phone, and it relies on the internal lifting mechanism to move up and down under the drive of the motor. This increased the wear and tear of the mobile phone and the threat of its lifespan. The frequent lifting and lowering would cause the loss of components, increase the difficulty of repair for consumers and the hidden dangers of after-sales for manufacturers, and the cost of maintenance in the later stages would be higher.
2. ** Higher cost **: The design difficulty increases, and the increase in mechanical materials leads to an increase in the manufacturing cost of the mobile phone. These costs will eventually be allocated to the retail price of the mobile phone. The consumers tended to prefer cost-effective phones, and the high cost made it more difficult to sell the phones. Moreover, in order to achieve the camera lift, the internal space of the phone body was occupied, and other functional components might be sacrificed, resulting in a reduction in the functionality of the phone.
3. ** Not in line with market demand changes **: During the development of smart phones, the market pursued thin, fast, and portable phones. Lifting the camera required a certain thickness of the body to support it, and its thickness was usually thicker than ordinary mobile phones, which did not meet the requirements of being thin and light. At the same time, consumers were more concerned about its dust-proof and waterproof performance. When the camera was raised, the phone might fall into the water and damage the body, but the camera integrated phone did not have this problem.
4. ** Other problems **: There are also problems such as taking up a large space, increasing the weight of the body, the failure rate of the mechanical structure, and the low durability.

However, with the development of technology, such as Xiaomi's Redmi K80, it may adopt a new lift camera patent technology. This new technology has a simple and reliable structure, convenient operation, and low cost. It uses a planar link mechanism to transmit power so that the overall movement is in a plane, reducing the thickness of the phone. The phone can be made thin and light, which is expected to overcome some of the drawbacks of the traditional lift camera.
