  • Patent number: 11733593
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a machine body, a functional module, a power transmission module and a retracting module. The functional module is to move with respect to the machine body. The power transmission module, disposed in the machine body, includes a transmission unit and a driving unit. The transmission unit includes a gear and a rack. The driving unit, connected to the gear, is to move with the functional module. The driving unit rotates the gear in a moving direction to mesh the rack so as to move the functional module in the moving direction. The retracting module, disposed in the machine body, includes a holding unit connected to the rack to provide the rack an avoiding path for the rack to disengage the gear, and a direction of the avoiding path is different from the moving direction. In additional, a camera device is also provided.
