For example, the first channel 1504 may also surround internal components of the electronic device 100.

In some embodiments, the inner wall of the first channel 1504 is made of a hydrophobic material, and the inner wall made of the hydrophobic material has a hydrophobic property, and when the first channel 1504 has a liquid therein, the hydrophobic property of the hydrophobic material can drive the liquid in the first channel 1504 to flow along the first channel 1504 towards the earphone hole 154 or the universal serial bus interface hole 153 to flow out to the outside of the electronic device 100.

The receiver port 155 and the usb port 153 communicate with each other through a second channel 1505. The second channel 1505 may be directly formed on the inner surface of the sidewall of the housing 150, such as the second connecting wall 1502 formed between the receiver hole 155 and the usb port 153, the second channel 1505 being formed on the second connecting wall 1502, and in particular, the second channel 1505 being formed on the inner surface of the second connecting wall 1502.

It should be noted that in other embodiments, the housing 150 may have only one channel, such as only the first channel, or only the second channel. When the housing 150 has only one channel, the channel can communicate with any two of the channels, such as the earphone aperture 154 and the receiver aperture 155.

In some embodiments, please refer to fig. 5, and fig. 5 is another structural schematic diagram of the housing according to the embodiment of the present disclosure. The housing 150 may also be provided with first and second side

key holes

158 and 159 at its periphery. Where first side key hole 158 and second side key hole 159 may be located on one side of electronic device 100. The first side key hole 158 and the second side key hole 159 penetrate the side of the housing 150 from the periphery of the housing 150. Among them, the first side key hole 158 may be defined as a fourth through hole, and the second side key hole 159 may be defined as a fifth through hole. It should be noted that the present embodiment is not limited thereto, for example, the first side key hole 158 may also be defined as a first through hole, and the second side key hole 159 may also be defined as a second through hole.

Wherein the first side key 114 is installed in the first side key hole 158 and the second side key 115 is installed in the second side key hole 159.

In some embodiments, the housing 150 may further include a third channel 1506, and it should be noted that the third channel 1506 may be only one of the channels of the housing 150, and may be defined as the first channel or the second channel. The third channel 1506 may be formed directly on the inner surface of the sidewall of the housing 150, such as: a third connecting wall 1503 is formed between the first side key hole 158 and the second side key hole 159, and the third connecting wall 1503 may be defined as only one connecting wall of the housing 150, or may be defined as the first connecting wall or the second connecting wall. Specifically, the third channel 1506 is formed on the inner surface of the third connecting wall 1503. It should be noted that the third channel 1506 is not limited thereto, and the third channel 1506 may be formed at other positions of the housing 150. The third channel 1506 may also surround internal components of the electronic device 100, for example.

In some embodiments, the inner wall of the third channel 1506 is made of a hydrophobic material, and the hydrophobic material forms the inner wall with hydrophobic characteristics, so that when the third channel 1506 contains a liquid, the hydrophobic characteristics of the hydrophobic material can drive the liquid in the third channel 1506 to flow along the third channel 1506 towards the first side keyhole 158 and the second side keyhole 159 to flow out to the outside of the electronic device 100.

It should be noted that, when the housing 150 has only one channel, only the third channel 1506 may be provided, or the first channel 1506 may be defined.

It should also be noted that in other embodiments, the housing 150 may have three or more passages, which are not illustrated.

The channel in the housing 150 may communicate with two or more through holes. Further, the through holes through which the channels communicate may be on the same side or the same end of the housing 150, or may not be on the same side or the same end.

It should be noted that the housing 150 may also be provided with speaker holes or other through holes at its periphery. One or two or more of the channels may communicate to the speaker hole or other through hole.

As can be seen from the above, in the electronic device according to the embodiment of the present application, since the housing has at least two through holes and at least one channel that are communicated with each other, when liquid enters the channel from one of the through holes, the liquid can flow out to the outside of the electronic device from the other through hole or through holes along the channel. Therefore, liquid can be prevented from flowing into the electronic equipment through the through hole of the shell, and the waterproof performance of the electronic equipment is improved.

In some embodiments, please refer to fig. 6, and fig. 6 is another schematic structural diagram of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The electronic device 100 may also include a motor 114 and a detector 115. The motor 114 is coupled to the driving circuit 130 through a signal line 116, and specifically, the motor 114 is coupled to a control module 131 of the driving circuit 130 through the signal line 116. The detector 115 is coupled to the driving circuit 130 through a signal line 116, and specifically, the detector 115 is coupled to a control module 131 of the driving circuit 130 through the signal line 116.

In some embodiments, the detector 115 is configured to detect whether liquid exists in the electronic device 100, or the detector 115 is configured to detect whether liquid exists in the channel of the housing, when the detector 115 detects that liquid exists, the detector 115 transmits a detection result to the control module 131 of the driving circuit 130, the control module 131 controls the motor 114 to rotate, the motor 114 is mounted on the housing 150, and the motor 114 rotates to drive the housing 150 to vibrate, so that the liquid can be driven to flow to the outside of the electronic device along the channel, and the waterproof performance of the electronic device 100 is further improved.

In some embodiments, the speed of the motor 114 may be controlled by the drive circuit 130 to control the flow rate of the liquid. Specifically, when the detector 115 detects that the liquid amount in the first channel 1504 is greater than the preset amount, the driving circuit 130 controls the rotation speed of the motor 114 to increase. Such as: when the detector 115 detects that the liquid in the channel is much, the driving circuit controls the rotating speed of the motor to be increased, and the flowing speed of the liquid is increased. When the detector detects that the liquid in the channel is less, the driving circuit controls the rotating speed of the motor to be reduced. The motor speed may vary depending on the amount of liquid in the passage. The relationship between the liquid amount in the channel and the preset amount can be determined according to whether the liquid amount is filled in the channel, for example, the preset amount is half of the liquid amount in the channel.

In some embodiments, the detector 115 may be disposed within a channel, such as a first channel. The detector 115 may be mounted to the inner wall of the channel or may protrude into the channel. The number of the detectors 115 may be one or more. In particular, when the housing has only one channel, such as the first channel, a detector may be provided inside the channel. When the housing has two or more channels, a detector may be provided in each channel, each detector separately detecting the presence of liquid in each channel. It should be noted that when the housing has two or more channels, only one detector may be provided.

The above is a detailed description of the embodiments of the present application from the structural direction of the housing, and by using the characteristics of the through holes of the housing itself, a channel is provided to communicate at least two through holes, so that the liquid can flow through each other, and the liquid is prevented from flowing into the housing. The following is a detailed description from the direction of the electronic device control method.

Referring to fig. 11, fig. 11 is a schematic flowchart illustrating a control method of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to fig. 1 to 10, the method for controlling an electronic device includes:

in step 101, a detector detects whether there is liquid in the first channel. The detector can detect whether any channel in the housing is filled with liquid, and is not limited to one channel. For details, reference may be made to the above contents, which are not described herein again.

In step 102, if there is liquid in the first channel, the motor is controlled to vibrate to drive the liquid in the first channel to flow toward the outside of the electronic device through the first through hole or the second through hole. The detector can transmit the detection result to the control module of the driving circuit, and the control module can control the motor according to the detection result. Such as: when detecting that there is liquid in the casing passageway, control module control motor rotates in order to drive the casing to, can add liquid outflow electronic equipment. For details, reference may be made to the above contents, which are not described herein again.

The control method of the electronic device further includes: the detector detects whether the liquid amount of the liquid in the first channel is larger than a preset amount or not; if the liquid amount in the first channel is larger than the preset amount, the driving circuit controls the rotating speed of the motor to increase. Specifically, when the detector detects that the liquid amount in the channel is larger than the preset amount, the driving circuit controls the rotation speed of the motor to increase. Such as: when the detector detects that the liquid in the channel is much, the driving circuit controls the rotating speed of the motor to be increased, and the flowing speed of the liquid is increased. When the detector detects that the liquid in the channel is less, the driving circuit controls the rotating speed of the motor to be reduced. The motor speed may vary depending on the amount of liquid in the passage. The relationship between the liquid amount in the channel and the preset amount can be determined according to whether the liquid amount is filled in the channel, for example, the preset amount is half of the liquid amount in the channel.

Therefore, in the control method of the electronic device in the embodiment of the application, because the casing is provided with the at least two through holes and the at least one channel which are mutually communicated, when the detector detects that liquid enters the channel from one of the through holes, the control module controls the motor to work to drive the casing to vibrate, and the liquid can be driven to flow out of the electronic device from the other through hole or through holes along the channel. Therefore, liquid can be further prevented from flowing into the electronic equipment through the through hole of the shell, and the waterproof performance of the electronic equipment is further improved.

The electronic device and the control method thereof provided by the embodiments of the present application are described in detail above, and the principles and embodiments of the present application are explained herein by applying specific examples, and the descriptions of the above embodiments are only used to help understanding the present application. Meanwhile, for those skilled in the art, according to the idea of the present application, there may be variations in the specific embodiments and the application scope, and in summary, the content of the present specification should not be construed as a limitation to the present application.
