Referring to fig. 1-3 and fig. 5 together, an electronic device 200 according to an embodiment of the invention includes a housing 10, an electroacoustic element 20, a cover 30, a dust-proof member 40 and a driving part 100. The case 10 has a first through hole 10a, a cover plate 30 is provided on the front side of the case 10, the cover plate 30 is provided with a second through hole 31, and the second through hole 31 is provided substantially in alignment with the first through hole 10a and forms a sound signal transmission channel (hereinafter referred to as a sound channel) of the electroacoustic element 20.

The driving part 100 is connected to the dust-proof member 40 and drives the dust-proof member 40 to rotate between a first position, in which the dust-proof member 40 shields the second through hole 31, and a second position, in which the dust-proof member 40 opens the second through hole 31, by means of screw driving.

Referring to fig. 4, an electronic device 200 according to an embodiment of the invention is an electronic device such as a mobile phone, an intelligent wearable device, or a tablet computer. It is understood that the electronic device 200 includes, but is not limited to, examples of the present embodiment.

In the electronic device 200 according to the embodiment of the invention, the driving component 100 can drive the dust-proof member 40 to shield the second through hole 31, so as to prevent impurities such as dust from entering the electronic device 200 from the second through hole 31, avoid the malfunction of the electronic device 200 caused by the impurities such as dust, and improve the service life of the electronic device 200.

Specifically, the second through hole 31 is provided corresponding to the electroacoustic element 20. The second through hole 31 corresponds to the electroacoustic element 20, which means that sound emitted by the electroacoustic element 20 can be transmitted to the outside of the electronic device 200 through the second through hole 31. The second through hole 31 may be disposed opposite to the electroacoustic element 20 or may be disposed in a staggered manner with respect to the electroacoustic element 20.

The housing 10 is, for example, a front housing of the electronic device 200, the housing 10 is substantially rectangular parallelepiped, the housing 10 is a carrier of the electronic device 200, and most parts of the electronic device 200 are mounted on the housing 10. The electronic device 200 further comprises a back cover 220, the back cover 220 covering the internal parts of the electronic device 200, e.g. the back cover 220 may cover the battery (not shown), the electroacoustic element 20 etc. The rear cover 220 is made of plastic or glass, for example. It is understood that a battery is used to power the electronic device 200.

Electroacoustic element 20 is an element that can convert an electrical signal into an acoustic signal, for example electroacoustic element 20 is a speaker. In this embodiment, the electroacoustic element 20 is a receiver, and the electroacoustic element 20 is located on the top of the electronic device 200, so as to facilitate the user to answer the call.

The cover plate 30 covers the display screen 210 of the electronic device 200, so that the display screen 210 is prevented from being damaged by touching. The cover plate 30 may be made of a light-transmitting material such as glass, plastic, or the like. The second through hole 31 formed in the cover plate 30 penetrates through two opposite surfaces of the cover plate 30. The second through hole 31 has a rectangular cross section, for example.

The color of the dust-proof member 40 may be consistent with the color around the dust-proof member 40 so that the user does not easily perceive the presence of the dust-proof member 40, which may improve the appearance performance of the electronic device 200. Of course, the color of the dust-proof member 40 may be different from the color around the dust-proof member 40, for example, the color of the dust-proof member 40 is red, and the color around the dust-proof member 40 is black. This allows the dust guard 40 to play a decorative role and identifies the location of the electroacoustic element 20 for the convenience of the user to use the electroacoustic element 20.

The shielding of the second through hole 31 by the dust-proof member 40 means that the dust-proof member 40 blocks the second through hole 31 from communicating with the interior of the electronic device 200, for example, the dust-proof member 40 may be attached to the surface of the cover plate 30 so as to shield the second through hole 31. The dust-proof member 40 opening the second through hole 31 means that the dust-proof member 40 forms a certain gap with the surface of the cover plate 30, so that the second through hole 31 communicates with the inside of the electronic device 200. It can be understood that a sound channel is formed between the second through hole 31 and the electroacoustic device 20, and when the dust-proof member 40 shields the second through hole 31, the dust-proof member 40 blocks the sound channel, and the sound generated by the electroacoustic device 20 cannot be transmitted to the outside of the electronic device 200 through the second through hole 31.

Referring again to fig. 1-3, in some embodiments, the housing 10 includes a front surface 11, the cover 30 is disposed on the front surface 11, the housing 10 is formed with a relief groove 12, the relief groove 12 extends from the front surface 11 in a direction away from the dust-proof member 40, and the relief groove 12 is configured to provide a movable space for rotation of the dust-proof member 40. In this way, the escape groove 12 can avoid interference of the dust-proof member 40 with the housing 10. It will be appreciated that the size of the relief groove 12 is greater than the size of the dust guard 40 so that the relief groove 12 provides sufficient room for the dust guard 40 to move.

In some embodiments, the dust guard 40 is rotatable about the rotation shaft 41 to shield or open the second through hole 31, the rotation shaft 41 extending in the lateral direction of the housing 10. In this way, the dust-proof member 40 can rotate in the lateral direction around the housing 10. As shown in the azimuth of fig. 1, the lateral direction of the housing 10 is the left-right direction, that is, the rotation shaft 41 extends in the left-right direction. As shown in the orientation of 2, the dust guard 40 may swing in the front-rear direction. When the dust-proof member 40 swings backward, the dust-proof member 40 opens the second through hole 31; when the dust-proof member 40 swings forward, the dust-proof member 40 shields the second through hole 31.

It can be understood that the dust-proof member 40 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 41, and in this embodiment, the dust-proof member 40 is clamped and fixed to the rotating shaft 41. Of course, in other embodiments, the dust-proof member 40 and the rotating shaft 41 may be integrally formed or fixedly connected by welding.

In some embodiments, one end of the rotating shaft 41 is connected with the rotating arm 42, the rotating arm 42 penetrates through the housing 10, the driving component 100 comprises a screw mechanism 50 and a motor 60, the screw mechanism 50 and the motor 60 are located on one side of the housing 10 opposite to the cover plate 30, the screw mechanism 50 is connected with the rotating arm 42, and the motor 60 is used for driving the rotating arm 42 to swing through the screw mechanism 50 so as to enable the dust-proof piece 40 to rotate.

In this way, the rotation of the driving dust-proof member 40 by the rotation arm 42 is simple. As shown in the orientation of fig. 2, when the dust-proof member 40 shields the second through hole 31, the rotary arm 42 swings downward, and at this time, the rotary arm 42 provides a torque to the dust-proof member 40, and the dust-proof member 40 rotates backward under the torque to open the second through hole 31. When the dust-proof member 40 opens the second through hole 31, the rotary arm 42 swings upward, and at this time, the rotary arm 42 provides a torque to the dust-proof member 40, and the dust-proof member 40 rotates forward under the action of the torque to shield the second through hole 31.

In the present embodiment, the rotation shaft 41 and the rotation arm 42 are integrally formed. For example, the rotating shaft 41 and the rotating arm 42 may be punched by a process of punching a bar-shaped metal member.

In some embodiments, the screw mechanism 50 includes a moving member 51 and a transmission shaft 52, the moving member 51 is sleeved on the transmission shaft 52, the moving member 51 is movably connected with the transmission shaft 52 through screw threads, the moving member 51 is connected with the rotating arm 42, and the motor 60 is used for driving the transmission shaft 52 to rotate, so as to drive the moving member 51 to move to drive the rotating arm 42 to swing.

Thus, the transmission shaft 52 and the moving member 51 cooperate to convert rotary motion into movement, and the structure is simple. As shown in the orientation of fig. 2, the moving member 51 can push the rotating arm 42 to swing up and down when moving up and down, so that the dust-proof member 40 shields or opens the second through hole 31.

Specifically, the moving member 51 is in a block shape, the moving member 51 is formed with an internal thread, the driving shaft 52 is formed with an external thread which is matched with the internal thread of the moving member 51, and when the driving shaft 52 rotates, the internal thread is pressed against the external thread, so that the moving member 51 moves up and down relative to the driving shaft 52.

The drive shaft 52 is, for example, a screw, and in this embodiment, the drive shaft 52 is part of the rotor of the motor 60, and the drive shaft 52 extends out from the motor 60. Of course, in some embodiments, the drive shaft 52 may also be fixedly coupled to the output shaft of the motor 60 via a coupling.

It will be appreciated that when the drive shaft 52 rotates in the first direction, the mover 51 moves upwardly; when the transmission shaft 52 rotates in the second direction, the moving member 51 moves downward. The first direction is opposite to the second direction. Therefore, the current direction of the motor 60 can be controlled, so that the rotation of the transmission shaft 51 is controlled to be reversed to achieve the purpose of moving the moving member 51 up and down, and the dust-proof member 40 shields or opens the second through hole 31.

In some embodiments, the moving member 51 is snap-fitted to the swivel arm 42. In this way, the mover 51 and the swivel arm 42 are easily attached and detached. Specifically, the moving member 51 is formed with a catching groove 511, and the swivel arm 42 is caught in the catching groove 511, so that the moving member 51 is caught with the swivel arm 42.

In some embodiments, the housing 10 is formed with a receiving groove 13, and the motor 60 is received in the receiving groove 13. In this way, the motor 60 is compactly matched with the housing 10, and the accommodating groove 13 is beneficial to positioning and mounting the motor 60 on the housing 10. The shape of the receiving groove 13 is adapted to the outer shape of the motor 60. In order to facilitate the installation of the motor 60 in the accommodating groove 13, the motor 60 is externally clamped with a motor bracket 61, and the motor bracket 61 can be fixedly connected with the housing 10, so that the vibration of the motor 60 can be reduced, and the noise generated by the motor 60 can be reduced.

In some embodiments, the electronic device 200 includes a fixing bracket 70, where the fixing bracket 70 presses the motor 60 and fixedly connects to the housing 10 to prevent the motor 60 from falling out of the receiving groove 13. For example, the fixing bracket 70 may be fixed to the housing 10 by a fastener such as a screw. As another example, the fixing bracket 70 is fixed to the housing 10 by means of a snap.

In one example, when the electronic device 200 is installed, the dust-proof member 40, the electroacoustic element 20 and the rotating shaft 41 may be first installed in the housing 10, and the motor 60, the transmission shaft 52 and the moving member 51 may be assembled together to form an installation module, then the installation module is installed on the housing 10, then the moving member 51 is clamped with the rotating arm 42, and finally the fixing support 70 is pressed on the motor 60 and fixedly connected with the housing 10, so that the motor 60 may drive the dust-proof member 40 to rotate through the screw mechanism 50 and other elements.

Specifically, referring to fig. 2 and 5, the driving unit 100 drives the dust-proof member 40 to rotate as follows: the motor 60 drives the transmission shaft 52 to rotate, and the transmission shaft 52 drives the moving member 51 to move up and down when rotating, and pushes the rotary arm 42 to swing when the moving member 51 moves up and down, so that the dust-proof member 40 rotates, and the dust-proof member 40 shields or opens the second through hole 31.

In some embodiments, when the electronic device 200 is in communication, the processor (not shown) controls the motor 60 to drive the dust-proof member 60 to open the second through hole 31 through the screw mechanism 50, so that the user can perform communication smoothly.
