Therefore, the product form of the electronic device 100 can be increased, and the interest can be enhanced.

Specifically, referring to fig. 3 and 4, the electronic device 100 further includes a sliding rod 4 and a sliding block 5. The slide bar 4 is connected between the slide seat 2 and the slide block 5. The slide bar 4 extends along the direction from the slide base 2 to the device body 1, so that the slide base 2 and the slide block 5 move synchronously in the direction perpendicular to the slide bar 4. In the extending direction perpendicular to the sliding rod 4, the sliding block 5 is slidably connected to the device body 1 to drive the sliding seat 2 to move relative to the device body 1. In the extending direction along the slide bar 4, the slider 5 is fixed relative to the apparatus body 1, so that the slider 5 and the apparatus body 1 move synchronously in the extending direction along the slide bar 4. At least one of the sliding seat 2 and the sliding block 5 can be slidably connected with the sliding rod 4, so that the distance between the sliding seat 2 and the sliding block 5 can be adjusted.

The sliding seat 2 is connected with the device main body 1 in a floating mode, the device main body 1 cannot provide fastening force for the sliding seat 2, the sliding seat 2 has freedom degree in the Z direction, in the process that the sliding seat 2 slides relative to the device main body 1, the sliding seat 2 can adjust the distance between the sliding seat 2 and the device main body 1 in a self-adaptive mode, the parallelism of the sliding seat 2 relative to the device main body 1 is improved, the sliding seat 2 is prevented from being clamped, stable sliding of the sliding seat 2 relative to the device main body 1 is facilitated, and reliability of the electronic device 100 is improved.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the device body 1 includes a housing 11 and a display module 12 covering the housing 11. The outer surface of the display module 12 and the outer surface of the housing 11 form a complete housing surface of the electronic device 100. A receiving space for receiving a battery, a circuit board, and the like is formed between the display module 12 and the housing 11. The display module 12 includes a display area and a non-display area surrounding the display area. The display area is used for displaying images.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, a functional device 3 may be disposed in the sliding seat 2. During the sliding of the sliding seat 2 relative to the apparatus body 1, the functional device 3 moves closer to or away from the apparatus body 1 as the sliding seat 2 moves. The display module 12 and the sliding seat 2 are stacked, and the display module 12 includes a display area 12a and a non-display area 12b surrounding the display area 12 a. The display area 12a is used for displaying images to realize the display function of the electronic device 100. Referring to fig. 2, when the sliding seat 2 is disposed in the accommodating groove 110, the display area 12a at least partially covers the functional device 3. That is, when the sliding seat 2 is disposed in the accommodating groove 110, the functional device 3 is hidden under the display module 12. Referring to fig. 1, when the sliding seat 2 extends out of the accommodating groove 110, the functional device 3 in the sliding seat 2 extends out of the display module 12 along with the sliding seat 2, so that the functional device 3 can interact with a user. When the user finishes using the functional device 3, the user controls the sliding seat 2 to retract into the accommodating groove 110, and the functional device 3 is hidden under the display module 12 so as not to occupy the space of the display module 12, so that the display area 12a with a larger size is conveniently arranged on the display module 12, and the screen occupation ratio of the electronic device 100 is increased. In addition, the functional device 3 does not need to be arranged on the display module 12, and further does not need to be provided with a through hole and a light-transmitting area on the display module 12, so that holes are prevented from being formed in the display module 12, and the manufacturing process and difficulty of the display module 12 are reduced.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the functional device 3 may be at least one of an antenna module, a camera module, a flash module, a sensor module, a receiver module, a face recognition module, an iris recognition module, a microphone module, and a fingerprint recognition module, so as to implement functions of the electronic device 100, such as communication, shooting, light supplement, light induction, receiving, face recognition, iris recognition, transmitting, and fingerprint recognition.

Further, referring to fig. 3, a circuit board 61 and a flexible circuit board 62 are further disposed in the device main body 1.

Referring to fig. 5, the housing 11 includes a rear case 111 and a frame 112 surrounding the rear case 111. The bezel 112 includes oppositely disposed top and bottom edges 113, 114 and a pair of side edges 115, 116 connected between the top and bottom edges 113, 114. Wherein the top edge 113 is the side of the user that is vertically held and further from the ground when using the electronic device 100. The receiving groove 110 is disposed on the top edge 113, and two edges of the receiving groove 110 extend to a pair of side edges 115, 116 respectively. The accommodation groove 110 is provided on the apparatus body 1. The display module 12 is disposed on a side away from the rear case 111. The sliding seat 2 can be extended from the receiving groove 110 or retracted into the receiving groove 110. Namely, the sliding seat 2 extends out from one side of the accommodating groove 110, so that the functional device 3 carried by the sliding seat 2 extends out of the display module 12 for the user to use, which is beneficial to increasing the screen occupation ratio of the display module 12; the sliding base 2 is retracted from one side of the receiving slot 110 to hide the functional device 3 carried by the sliding base 2 under the display module 12, so as to improve the portability of the electronic device 100.

In other embodiments, the edge of the receiving groove 110 may also be disposed on the rear shell 111, that is, the receiving groove 110 forms a notch on the rear shell 111. The edges of the receiving groove 110 can also be all disposed on the top edge 113, i.e. the receiving groove 110 does not need to form an opening on the pair of side edges 115, 116 of the housing 11 and the rear shell 111, which is beneficial to improving the strength of the electronic device 100. The edge of the receiving groove 110 may be disposed on one side of the pair of

sides

115, 116.

Further, referring to fig. 2, when the sliding seat 2 is filled into the accommodating groove 110, one end surface of the sliding seat 2 is flush with the top edge 113 of the housing 11, and the other two end surfaces of the sliding seat 2 are flush with the pair of side edges 115 of the housing 11, which is beneficial for the electronic device 100 to have a better appearance surface for the user to carry.

Referring to fig. 6, the sliding seat 2 includes a first plate 21 and a sliding frame 22 surrounding the first plate 21. In one embodiment, the electronic device 100 has a middle frame 101, and the middle frame 101 includes a middle plate 102 and a bezel 103 surrounding the middle plate. The display module 12 and the rear case 111 are respectively disposed at opposite sides of the bezel 103. The accommodating groove 110 is disposed on the frame 103 in this embodiment. The sliding frame 22 is filled in the accommodating groove 110 of the frame 103. Midplane 102 is divided into a first portion 104 and a second portion. The first portion is disposed within the housing 11 and is fixedly coupled to the bezel 112. The second part is the first plate 21. The first plate 21 is fixedly connected with the sliding frame 22, and the first plate 21 is used for bearing the functional device 3 and the connecting device main body 1. Referring to fig. 7, the first plate 21 is disposed opposite to the sliding block 5.

At least one of the sliding seat 2 and the sliding block 5 may be slidably connected to the sliding rod 4, including but not limited to the following embodiments.

In the first embodiment, referring to fig. 7, two opposite ends of the sliding rod 4 are a positioning end 41 and a limiting end 42, respectively. The positioning end 41 is fixed to the slider 5. The sliding rod 4 penetrates through the first plate 21 of the sliding seat 2, so that the positioning end 41 and the limiting end 42 are respectively arranged on two pairs of two sides of the first plate 21. The first plate 21 is slidably connected to the slide bar 4. When the sliding seat 2 is far away from the sliding block 5 under the action of an external force, the limiting end 42 abuts against the first plate 21 to limit the first plate 21 from sliding out of the sliding rod 4. The sliding rod 4 may be vertically disposed on the sliding block 5, so that the sliding block 5 may serve as another limiting structure of the first plate 21. In other words, the sliding seat 2 can move along the sliding rod 4 in the Z direction relative to the sliding block 5, and the sliding block 5 is fixed in the Z direction relative to the device main body 1, so that the distance between the sliding seat 2 and the device main body 1 can be adjusted, so that the distance between the sliding seat 2 and the device main body 1 can be adaptively adjusted in the sliding process, the parallelism of the sliding seat 2 relative to the device main body 1 is improved, the sliding seat 2 is prevented from being locked, the sliding seat 2 can smoothly slide relative to the device main body 1, and the reliability of the electronic device 100 is improved.

In the second embodiment, referring to fig. 8, different from the first embodiment, a first elastic member 43 is disposed between the first plate 21 and the limiting end 42. Two ends of the first elastic member 43 respectively elastically abut against the first plate 21 and the limiting end 42. When the sliding block 5 and the sliding seat 2 are relatively far away from or close to each other under the action of external force, the first elastic member 43 is compressed or stretched, and the elastic deformation of the first elastic member 43 can absorb a part of the external force, so that the functional device 3 in the sliding seat 2 is prevented from being damaged by the external force, and the external force is prevented from damaging the connecting structure between the sliding seat 2 and the device main body 1. When the sliding block 5 and the sliding seat 2 are no longer subjected to external force, the restoring force of the first elastic piece 43 drives the sliding seat 2 to approach or separate from the sliding block 5, and then the sliding seat 2 is reset. The first elastic piece 43 is arranged to enable the sliding seat 2 to be in floating connection with the device main body 1, so that the self-adaptive energy-saving capability of the sliding seat 2 is more flexible; and when receiving sliding resistance or collision impact force, the first elastic member 43 can buffer the sliding resistance or the collision impact force (force along the extending direction of the sliding rod 4), thereby protecting the electronic device 100. Of course, in other embodiments, the first elastic member 43 may also be disposed between the slider 5 and the first plate 21 to provide an elastic buffering force and improve an adaptive adjusting force. In this embodiment, the first elastic member 43 may be a spring, a spring plate, an elastic material, or the like.

In the third embodiment, referring to fig. 9 and 10, different from the first embodiment, an opening 23 is formed on the first plate 21. The opening 23 is for the slide bar 4 to pass through. The inner side wall of the opening 23 is matched with the outer peripheral wall of the slide rod 4, that is, the inner diameter of the opening 23 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the slide rod 4, so that the slide rod 4 can slide in the opening 23 and cannot rock in the opening 23, and the slide seat 2 is not installed in the accommodating groove 110 unstably. The inner side wall of the opening 23 is also provided with a damping groove 24. An elastic body 43 is arranged between the sliding rod 4 and the damping groove 24. When the sliding block 2 is subjected to an impact force (a force perpendicular to the extending direction of the sliding rod 4), the impact force causes the sliding block 2 to move relative to the sliding rod 4, so that the sliding rod 4 at least partially enters the shock absorption groove 24, and the elastic body 43 is compressed by the sliding rod 4. The elastic body 43 is elastically deformed to buffer a part of the impact force, thereby protecting the sliding seat 2 and improving the reliability of the electronic device 100. When the sliding block 2 is no longer subjected to an impact force (a force perpendicular to the direction of extension of the sliding rod 4), the elastic deformation of the elastic body 43 is restored to return the sliding rod 4 into the opening 23.

Further, referring to fig. 9 and 10, the elastic body 43 is wrapped around the sliding rod 4. The inner diameter of the opening 23 is matched with the outer diameter of the slide rod 4 coated with the elastomer 43. The size of the damping groove 24 is smaller than the outer diameter of the slide bar 4 coated with the elastic body 43. When the sliding seat 2 is not subjected to impact force (force perpendicular to the extending direction of the sliding rod 4), the sliding rod 4 coated with the elastic body 43 cannot enter the shock absorption groove 24, so that the instability of the sliding rod 4 in the opening 23 is reduced, and the motion stability of the sliding seat 2 in the Y direction is affected. When the sliding seat 2 is subjected to impact force (force perpendicular to the extending direction of the sliding rod 4), the sliding rod 4 coated with the elastic body 43 is driven by the impact force to move towards the shock absorption groove 24, the elastic body 43 is compressed under the action of the impact force, the outer diameter size of the sliding rod 4 coated with the elastic body 43 is reduced, and the sliding rod 4 can enter the shock absorption groove 24; when the sliding seat 2 is no longer subjected to the impact force, the deformation restoring force of the elastic body 43 pushes the sliding rod 4 out of the shock absorbing groove 24 and into the opening 23. In other embodiments, the elastic body 43 may be a spring, and both ends of the spring abut against the groove walls of the sliding rod 4 and the damping groove 24, respectively.

In the fourth embodiment, referring to fig. 11, different from the first embodiment, the positioning end 41 is fixed to the sliding seat 2. The limiting end 42 is connected with the sliding block 5 in a sliding way. Specifically, the slider 5 has an accommodating space 51. The accommodating space 51 has an inner side wall 52, and an opening 53 communicating with the accommodating space 51 is formed in the inner side wall 52. The slide bar 4 extends through the opening 53. The limiting end 42 is accommodated in the accommodating space 51, and the limiting end 42 and the inner sidewall 52 are spaced from each other. Further, the size of the position-limiting end 42 is larger than that of the opening 53. When the sliding block 5 is far away from the sliding block 5 under the action of external force, the limiting end 42 moves towards the inner side wall 52 until abutting against the inner side wall 52. The limiting end 42 can move back and forth in the accommodating space 51 along the Z direction, so that the sliding seat 2 can adaptively adjust the distance between the sliding seat 2 and the sliding block 5, thereby improving the parallelism of the sliding seat 2 relative to the device body 1, preventing the sliding seat 2 from being blocked, facilitating the sliding seat 2 to stably slide out relative to the device body 1, and improving the reliability of the electronic device 100.

Further, referring to fig. 11, a second elastic element 44 is disposed between the limiting end 42 and the inner sidewall 52. Two ends of the second elastic element 44 respectively abut against the limiting end 42 and the inner side wall 52. When the sliding block 5 and the sliding seat 2 are relatively far away from or close to each other under the action of external force, the second elastic element 44 is compressed or stretched, and elastic deformation of the second elastic element 44 can absorb a part of the external force, so that the functional device 3 in the sliding seat 2 is prevented from being damaged by the external force, and the connecting structure between the sliding seat 2 and the device main body 1 is prevented from being damaged by the external force. When the sliding block 5 and the sliding seat 2 are no longer subjected to external force, the restoring force of the second elastic piece 44 drives the sliding seat 2 to approach or separate from the sliding block 5, and then the sliding seat 2 is reset. The second elastic piece 44 is arranged to enable the sliding seat 2 to be in floating connection with the device main body 1, so that the adaptive adjustment capability of the sliding seat 2 is more flexible; and when receiving sliding resistance or collision impact force, the second elastic member 44 can buffer the sliding resistance or collision impact force (force along the extending direction of the sliding rod 4), thereby protecting the electronic device 100. Of course, in other embodiments, the second elastic member 44 may also be disposed between the slider 5 and the first plate 21 to provide an elastic buffering force and improve the adaptive adjusting force. In this embodiment, the second elastic member 44 may be a spring, a spring plate, an elastic organic material, or the like.

Further, referring to fig. 11 and 12, the opening 53 is for the sliding rod 4 to pass through. The inner side wall 52 of the opening 53 is adapted to the outer peripheral wall of the sliding rod 4, that is, the inner diameter of the opening 53 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the sliding rod 4, so that the sliding rod 4 can slide in the opening 53 and will not shake in the opening 53, thereby preventing the sliding seat 2 from being installed unstably in the accommodating groove 110. Similarly to the third embodiment, the inner sidewall 52 of the opening 53 is further opened with a damping groove, and an elastic body is disposed between the sliding rod 4 and the damping groove. When the sliding seat 2 is subjected to an impact force (a force perpendicular to the extending direction of the sliding rod 4), the impact force causes the sliding seat 2 to drive the sliding rod 4 to move relative to the sliding block 5, so that the sliding rod 4 at least partially enters the damping groove, and the elastic body is compressed under the action of the sliding rod 4. The elastic body is elastically deformed to buffer a part of the impact force, thereby protecting the sliding seat 2 and improving the reliability of the electronic device 100. When the sliding block 2 is no longer subjected to an impact force (a force perpendicular to the direction of extension of the sliding rod 4), the elastic deformation generated by the elastic body is restored to return the sliding rod 4 into the opening 53.

In other embodiments, the sliding rod 4 may be slidably connected to the sliding seat 2 and the sliding block 5, and two opposite ends of the sliding rod 4 respectively abut against the sliding seat 2 and the sliding block 5 during the back-and-forth sliding process of the sliding rod 4, so that the sliding seat 2 and the sliding block 5 are disposed between the two opposite ends of the sliding rod 4. Slide bar 4 and sliding seat 2 and slider 5 sliding connection to realize sliding seat 2 with device main part 1 floats and connects, device main part 1 can not provide fastening force to sliding seat 2, makes sliding seat 2 have the degree of freedom in Z upwards, and at the gliding in-process of sliding seat 2 relative device main part 1, sliding seat 2 can the self-adaptation adjust the interval between sliding seat 2 and the device main part 1, improves the depth of parallelism of sliding seat 2 for device main part 1, so that sliding seat 2 is blocked dead, is favorable to the steady roll-off of sliding seat 2 relative device main part 1, thereby improves electronic device 100's reliability.

Referring to fig. 7 and 8, a driving member 7 is provided in the device body 1. The driving member 7 includes a driving motor 71 and a rotating lever 72. The drive motor 71 is fixed in the apparatus main body 1. One end of the rotating rod 72 is connected with the driving motor 71, and the other end is connected with the sliding block 5 in a sliding manner. The rotating lever 72 extends in a direction (Y direction) perpendicular to the direction in which the slide bar 4 extends. The slider 5 may be fitted over the rotating lever 72 so that the rotating lever 72 restricts the degree of freedom of the slider 5 in the X and Z directions to fix the slider 5 relative to the apparatus body 1 in the X and Z directions. The driving motor 71 drives the rotating rod 72 to rotate, so as to drive the slider 5 to rotate relative to the device body 1 along the rotating rod 72. The slider 5 moves in the direction in which the rotating rod 72 extends to drive the sliding seat 2 to slide out of or into the receiving groove 110 in the direction in which the rotating rod 72 extends. The rotating rod 72 may be a lead screw or the like. In other embodiments, the drive 7 may also be a hydraulic cylinder, a worm gear, or the like. In other embodiments, the sliding seat 2 may be moved closer to or away from the device body 1 by manual pushing, for example, a user pushes the sliding seat 2 closer to or away from the device body 1 with a finger.

The slide shoe 2 carries at least one functional device 3, the drive element 7 being required to provide a large drive force. The drive 7 also comprises a gearbox. The gear box is arranged between the driving motor 71 and the rotating rod 72 to improve the rotating torque of the rotating rod 72, so that the rotating rod 72 drives the sliding block 5 and the sliding seat 2 to move together.

Referring to fig. 12, a circuit board 61 is further disposed in the device body 1. The circuit board 61 is provided with a notch 63, and the driving member 7 is accommodated in the notch 63. The notch 63 may be provided at the center line position of the apparatus body 1 in the X direction. Namely, the driving member 7 corresponds to the center line position of the sliding seat 2, which is beneficial for the driving member 7 to drive the sliding seat 2 to slide out smoothly.
