Through set up the screw hole 110 that link up the thickness direction of casing 10 on casing 10, can prolong the length of the cooperation section of screw 40 and screw hole 110 to can improve the fastness and the reliability of the cooperation of screw 40 and screw hole 110, and then improved the fixed stability of electrical components 30.

The display assembly 20 is disposed on the casing 10, and a surface of the display assembly 20 facing the casing 10 is provided with a sealing layer 210. Accordingly, by providing the sealing layer 210, the sealing layer 210 can absorb the force between the buffer case 10 and the display module 20, and thus the display module 20 can be effectively protected. In addition, the sealing layer 210 may improve the sealing effect of the electronic device 700.

The side surface of the casing 10 close to the sealing layer 210 is provided with a groove 120, and the groove 120 is communicated with the screw hole 110. Note that, since the sealing layer 210 is provided between the display module 20 and the casing 10, the sealing layer 210 seals the end of the screw hole 110 facing the display module 20. By providing the groove 120 on the side surface of the case 10 close to the sealing layer 210, the groove 120 is communicated with the screw hole 110. During the process of tightening the screw 40, the gas compressed in the screw hole 110 may diffuse into the groove 120, so that the display assembly 20 may be effectively prevented from being damaged by the gas pressure generated in the screw hole 110. Thereby, the stability of the performance of the housing assembly 100 is improved.

As shown in fig. 2, the groove 120 includes a plurality of first passages 121, the first passages 121 extending in a direction away from the center of the screw hole 110. Thereby, the gas inside the screw hole 110 may be diffused into the plurality of first passages 121, so that the pressure of the gas inside the screw hole 110 to the display assembly 20 may be further reduced.

According to the housing assembly 100 of the electronic device 700 of the embodiment of the invention, the groove 120 is arranged on the side surface of the housing 10 close to the sealing layer 210, the groove 120 is communicated with the screw hole 110, and the groove 120 comprises a plurality of first channels 121 extending in the direction away from the center of the screw hole 110, so that gas in the screw hole 110 can be diffused into the plurality of first channels 121 during the process of screwing the screw 40, thereby reducing the pressure of the gas in the screw hole 110 on the display assembly 20, effectively preventing the defect that the display assembly 20 is damaged by the pressure generated during the process of screwing the screw 40, and improving the performance stability of the housing assembly 100.

According to some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 2, the plurality of first passages 121 are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction of the screw hole 110. Therefore, the processing and manufacturing of the first channel 121 are facilitated, so that the production efficiency can be improved, and the production cost can be reduced. Moreover, through arranging a plurality of first passageways 121 along the circumferential direction interval of screw hole 110 and setting up, can make the gaseous diffusion in the first passageway 121 towards not equidirectional in screw hole 110 to improve the diffusion efficiency of gaseous in screw hole 110, and then improved recess 120 and alleviated the effect of gas pressure in screw hole 110.

In some embodiments of the present invention, the first passages 121 are two, and the two first passages 121 are symmetrically disposed about the center of the screw hole 110. Therefore, the processing and manufacturing of the groove 120 are facilitated, so that the production efficiency can be improved, and the production cost can be reduced. Moreover, by providing two screw holes 110 that are centrosymmetric with respect to the screw holes 110, uniformity and consistency of gas diffusion within the screw holes 110 are facilitated.

According to some embodiments of the invention, the first channel 121 is formed as a linear channel or a curvilinear channel. That is, the first channel 121 may be formed as a straight channel, thereby facilitating the manufacturing of the first channel 121, and thus improving the production efficiency and reducing the production cost. In addition, the first channel 121 is arranged in a straight line shape, which facilitates the flow of the gas in the first channel 121, and is beneficial to reduce the flow resistance of the gas in the first channel 121. Of course, the first channel 121 may also be formed in a curved shape, whereby the gas storage space of the first channel 121 may be increased, thereby improving the effect of the first channel 121 in relieving the air pressure in the screw hole 110.

In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 2, the groove 120 may further include: and a second passage 122, the second passage 122 being located on the outer side in the circumferential direction of the screw hole 110 and communicating with the screw hole 110, and the plurality of first passages 121 communicating with the second passage 122, respectively. Therefore, gas in the screw hole 110 can be conveniently diffused into the second channel 122, and after the gas in the screw hole 110 is diffused into the second channel 122, the gas can be diffused into the first channel 121 from the second channel 122, so that the pressure of the gas in the screw hole 110 on the display assembly 20 is further reduced, and the protection effect on the display assembly 20 is improved.

Further, the second passage 122 is annular, and the second passage 122 extends in the circumferential direction of the screw hole 110. Therefore, the second channel 122 is convenient to process and manufacture, so that the production efficiency can be improved, and the production cost can be reduced. In addition, the second channel 122 is arranged to be annular and extends along the circumferential direction of the screw hole 110, so that gas in the screw hole 110 can be conveniently diffused into the second channel 122, and the effect of relieving the air pressure in the screw hole 110 by the groove 120 is improved. According to some embodiments of the present invention, the second passage 122 may be formed in a closed loop shape. Therefore, the second channel 122 is convenient to process and manufacture, so that the production efficiency can be improved, and the production cost can be reduced.

In some embodiments of the present invention, each of the first and

second channels

121 and 122 is rounded. This improves the smoothness of the gas in screw hole 110 when flowing from first channel 121 into second channel 122, and effectively reduces the resistance of the gas when flowing from second channel 122 into first channel 121.

According to some embodiments of the present invention, there is a rounded transition between the bottom wall of the groove 120 and the side walls of the groove 120. Therefore, the fluency of the gas flowing in the groove 120 can be further improved, and the resistance of the inner wall of the groove 120 to the gas is reduced.
