The housing 200 may include a middle frame, such as middle frame 220, and a back cover, such as back cover 240. The middle frame 220 may serve as a carrier for the electronic device 20. For example, the bezel 220 may carry the display screen 100, the circuit board 800, a battery, etc. of the electronic device 20. The middle frame 220 may be made of metal, and may be formed by injection molding or machining.
The rear cover 240 may be disposed on one side of the middle frame 220, such as the rear cover 240 disposed on a non-display side of the middle frame 220. The rear cover 240 and the middle frame 220 are fixedly connected to form a receiving cavity 220 for receiving devices of the electronic apparatus 20, such as a battery, a circuit board 800, and the like, so that the rear cover 240 can be covered on the middle frame 220 to cover the battery, the circuit board 800, and the like. It is understood that the display screen 100 and the rear cover 240 are disposed at two opposite sides of the middle frame 220, and the display screen 100 may be disposed at a display surface of the middle frame 220 to display a picture.
The middle frame 220 may have a plurality of sides 222, and the plurality of sides 222 of the middle frame 222 are all located on the periphery of the base of the middle frame 220. The lengths of the sides 222 of the middle frame 220 may be the same or different. Such as the middle frame 220, may have a first side with a longer length and a second side with a shorter length, i.e., the length of the first side is greater than the length of the second side. Devices of the electronic apparatus 20 such as the operation switch 400 may be disposed on one or more of the sides 222 of the middle frame 220, such as disposing the operation switch 400 of the electronic apparatus 20 on one of the longer sides 222 of the middle frame 220.

The operation switch 400 may be provided in the control section 2222 of the side 222 for the user to operate. Of course, it is also possible to arrange the operation switches 400 at all positions of the side 222, i.e., the control section 2222 is the entire side 222.
In some embodiments, a self-luminous material may be disposed at the control area 2222 to allow the user to recognize the controller 2222. The color setting may be different at the location of the control area 2222 than at other locations of the side edge 222. A light emitting lamp may also be provided in the control section 2222.
In the related art, a plurality of physical keys, such as an on-off key, a volume key, a shortcut key, etc., are disposed on a side of the electronic device. The physical keys generally protrude out of the side edges, and gaps are formed between the physical keys and the side edges of the electronic equipment, so that water leakage and dust entering are easy to occur.
Based on this, in the embodiment of the present application, the operation switch 400 is disposed on the inner surface of the side edge 222, and the user can directly operate the control area 2222 to control the operation switch 400. The integrity of the sides 222 is maintained and is waterproof and dustproof. The operation switch 400 is used to detect a pressing operation of the control section 2222 of the side edge 222. The pressing operation may include a sliding operation, a clicking operation, a long-press operation, and the like.
The side 222 may be provided with a first receiving groove 2224 for receiving the operation switch 400. The first receiving groove 2224 may communicate with the receiving cavity 260. The depth of the first receiving groove 2224 may be much greater than the thickness of the operating switch 400, that is, after the operating switch 400 is placed in the first receiving groove 2224, a hollow cavity is formed at a position where the first receiving groove 2224 is communicated with the receiving cavity 260, so that the control area 2222 at the position of the first receiving groove 2224 is deformed. Such as: the distance between the operation switch 400 and the housing chamber 260 is about 5 mm. The length of the first receiving groove 2224 is the distance of the first receiving groove 2224 along the length direction of the side 222, and the length of the first receiving groove 2224 can be determined according to actual requirements. The width of the first receiving groove 2224 is a distance along the width direction of the side 222, and the width of the first receiving groove 2224 may be between 1.6 mm and 2 mm.
The outer surface of the side 222 may be of various shapes, such as: arc, rectangular, rounded rectangular, etc. The outer surface of the side 222 may also be curved. At least one of the rear cover 240 and the display screen 100 may be arranged in an arc shape and cover at least a portion of the side edge 222.
The operation switch 400 is provided in the control section 2222 and on the inner surface of the side 222. The operation switch 400 may be electrically connected to the circuit board 800 of the electronic device 20. The circuit board 800 of the electronic device 20 may have integrated thereon a processor, a memory, etc., which may be used to process various operations of the electronic device 20. Such as: the processor may control the display of the display screen 100 in the electronic device 20, the processor may control the camera 600 in the electronic device 20 to take a picture, and the like. The operation switch 400 may detect a pressing operation in the control area 2222, the pressing operation may be an operation of controlling the volume of the electronic device 20, the pressing operation may be an operation of controlling the power on and off of the electronic device 20, and the pressing operation may be an operation of controlling the operating state of the camera.
In the embodiment of the present application, the operation switch 400 is disposed on the inner surface of the side 222, and the side 222 is not provided with an aperture structure for avoiding the operation switch 400, so that a user can drive the operation switch 400 through the side 222 at the position of the control area 2222 by a control signal to control the electronic device 20, such as controlling the sound volume of the electronic device 20, controlling the on/off of the electronic device 20, controlling the working state of a camera in the electronic device 20, and the like.
Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a first structural schematic diagram of an operation switch in the electronic device shown in fig. 2. The operation switch 400 may include a pressure detection module 420, and the pressure detection module 420 is configured to detect the pressing strength of the side 222, and specifically, the magnitude of the pressing strength may be detected according to a deformation amount generated by the side 222. The pressure detection module 420 may include a first flexible circuit board 422 and a pressure detector 424 electrically connected to the first flexible circuit board 422. The first flexible circuit board 422 may be disposed on an inner surface of the side 222, such as by being adhered to the inner surface of the side 222 with glue, double-sided tape, or the like.
The pressure detector 424 may include a resistive sensor or a capacitive sensor, among others. It should be noted that when the pressure detector 424 includes a capacitive sensor, no metal is disposed at the position of the pressure detector 424 to ensure the accuracy of the detection of the capacitive sensor. The resistive sensor may be a MEMS (micro electro Mechanical Systems) sensor, which requires the width of the first receiving groove 2224 to be 1.6 mm. The resistive sensor is not limited to the MEMS piezoresistive IC, and the resistive sensor may be a strain gauge, and the strain gauge needs to have a width of the first receiving groove 2224 of about 2 mm.
It is understood that the side 222 is thin and can be deformed by the pressing force, and the first flexible circuit board 422 and the pressure detector 424 are disposed together on the inner surface of the side 222. When the side 222 is pressed, the side 222 deforms, and drives the first flexible circuit board 422 and the pressure detector 424 to deform together, and converts the pressure into an electrical signal to be transmitted to the processor of the circuit board 800, and the processor can control the electronic device 20 according to the pressing operation.
In some embodiments, the pressing operation may be determined as the first control signal, that is, the camera 600 of the electronic device 20 may be controlled to take a picture when the operation switch 400 receives the pressing operation in the control area 2222. Therefore, the user can control the camera 600 to take a picture without touching the display screen 100, the power consumption of the touch display screen 100 can be saved, and the user operation is facilitated. Especially facilitating one-handed operation for some users. It should be noted that the electronic device may also control other functions of the electronic device 20 according to the pressing operation, such as adjusting the volume.
It should be noted that, in the actual assembly process, since the first flexible circuit board 422 is made of a soft material, deformation is easily generated, and in order to reduce the deformation of the first flexible circuit board 422 in the assembly process, the thickness of the first flexible circuit board 422 may be increased. Of course, a reinforcing plate may be fixedly connected to the first flexible circuit board 422.
Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a schematic diagram illustrating a second structure of the operation switch of the electronic device shown in fig. 2. The operation switch 420 may further include a reinforcing sheet 426, the reinforcing sheet 426 is fixedly connected to the first flexible circuit board 422, and the reinforcing sheet 426 and the pressure detector 424 are respectively disposed on both sides of the first flexible circuit board 422. The reinforcing sheet 426 is fixedly attached to the inner surface of the side 222 at the location of the control area 2222. The reinforcing plate 426 may increase the overall strength of the pressure detecting module 420 for assembly, thereby preventing deformation during assembly and difficulty in assembly. It should be noted that the pressure detector 424 and the reinforcing sheet 426 may not be provided on both sides of the first flexible circuit board 422.
Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a schematic diagram illustrating a third structure of the operation switch of the electronic device shown in fig. 2. The reinforcing sheet 426 and the pressure detector 424 may be disposed on the same side of the first flexible circuit board 422, the pressure detector 424 may be disposed within a gap 428 of the reinforcing sheet 426, and the space of the gap 428 is larger than the size of the pressure detector 424. Such as reinforcing sheet 426, is thicker than pressure detector 424, and reinforcing sheet 426 and pressure detector 424 do not touch. Therefore, it is ensured that the pressure detector 424 does not contact the reinforcing sheet 426 or the side edge 222 when the pressure detector 424 is deformed by the pressure, and the accuracy of detecting the pressing force by the pressure detector 424 is affected.
It will be appreciated that in order for the pressure detector 424 to effectively detect pressure, a gap 428 may be provided in the reinforcing sheet 426, with the pressure detector 424 being spatially located within the gap 428. Therefore, when the side 222 of the control area 2222 receives a force, the stress of the force is applied to the pressure detector 424 at the position of the gap 428 due to the arrangement of the reinforcing sheet 426, so that the signal detected by the pressure detection module 420 can be more accurate. In some embodiments, two reinforcing sheets 426 may be connected to the first flexible circuit board 422 to form the gap 428, or a gap 428 may be opened on one reinforcing sheet 426.
It should be noted that the accuracy of the signal detected by the pressure detecting module 420 can be improved without providing the reinforcing sheet 426, such as providing a groove on the side 222 of the control area 2222 to locate the pressure detector 424 in the groove, so that the thickness of the two sides of the groove is larger, and thus the thickness of the position of the pressure detector 424 is smaller, and the deformation is also easy to occur.
Referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a partial schematic view illustrating a pressure detection module disposed on an inner surface of a side edge of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The inner surface of the side 222 may be provided with a groove 2228, and the groove 2228 may be provided at the bottom wall of the first receiving groove 2224. The embodiment of the present application may dispose the pressure detector 424 in the groove 2228, and dispose the first flexible circuit board 422 on the bottom wall of the first receiving groove 2224. Thus, the first flexible circuit board 422 is located outside the groove 2228.
Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, the grooves 2228 are formed on the inner surfaces of the side edges 222, so that the thickness of the side edges 222 at the positions of the grooves 2228 can be reduced, and the deformation of the side edges 222 at the positions of the grooves 2228 is facilitated. Thereby facilitating the pressure detector 424 located in the groove 2228 to detect the degree of pressure based on the amount of deformation of the side 222. In the embodiment of the present application, the first accommodating groove 2224 is further provided with the groove 2228 for accommodating the pressure detector 424, so that the pressure detector 424 can detect the degree of pressure more conveniently, and the detection accuracy of the pressure detector 424 can be improved.
It should be noted that the space of the groove 2228 formed on the inner surface of the side 222 in the embodiment of the present application is larger than the size of the pressure detector 424, so that the pressure detector 424 is spaced apart from the inner wall around the groove 2228 when the pressure detector 424 is located in the groove 2228. Thereby preventing the pressure detector 424 from contacting the inner wall of the groove 2228 when the side 222 is deformed by pressure. It is understood that the deformation of the side 222 under pressure is limited by the present embodiment, or the deformation of the side 222 is limited by a certain range. It is not the case that the pressing force is too large to cause damage to the side 222 so that the pressure detector 424 comes into contact with the inner wall around the groove 2228.
In some embodiments, a layer of resilient pad may be disposed within groove 2228. The elastic pad may be made of a soft elastic material to further prevent the inner wall of the groove 2228 from contacting the pressure detector 424. It is mainly for the side 222 to receive an excessive pressing force to prevent the inner wall of the groove 2228 from coming into direct contact with the pressure detector 424.
It should be noted that the pressure detection module 420 may also detect other operations, such as a sliding operation. The pressure detection module 420 may determine that it is moving continuously based on the pressure it detects.
Referring to fig. 7, fig. 7 is a fourth structural diagram of the operation switch of the electronic device shown in fig. 2. The operation switch 400 may further include a position detection module such as an ultrasonic detection module 440, and the ultrasonic detection module 440 is used to detect the pressing position of the side 222. The ultrasonic detection module 440 may include a second flexible circuit board 442, a signal transmitting part 444, and a signal receiving part 446. The signal transmitting portion 444 and the signal receiving portion 446 are electrically connected to the second flexible circuit board 442. The signal transmitting portion 444 and the signal receiving portion 446 may be made of a piezoelectric ceramic material. The second flexible circuit board 442 may be disposed on an inner surface of the side 222 of the control area 2222, such as by being adhered to the inner surface of the side 222 with glue, double-sided tape, etc. The ultrasonic detection module 440 may receive different signals, such as different operation modes, and may determine the control signal according to the operation modes, so as to control the functions of the electronic device 20 according to the control signal.
The ultrasonic detection module 440 can detect the pressed position of the control area 2222 to achieve positioning. Or the ultrasonic detection module 440 can detect a specific position for the finger to be placed in the control area 2222, so as to realize the positioning. When the pressing force continuously moves, or the user's finger performs a sliding operation in the control area, the ultrasonic detection module 440 may receive the sliding operation signal to determine the sliding operation signal as a second control signal, and may convert the second control signal into an electrical signal and transmit the electrical signal to the processor of the circuit board 800, and the processor may control functions of the electronic device 20, such as adjusting the focal length of the camera 600, adjusting the video playing speed, adjusting the volume, and the like, according to the second control signal. Thereby enabling control of the functions through the electronic device 20.
It is understood that the ultrasonic detection module 440 may detect other operations, such as a touch operation. The ultrasonic detection module 440 may also control the functions of the electronic device 20 according to other operations or different sliding operations.
Wherein the sliding direction of the sliding operation is along the length of the side 222. Of course, the sliding direction of the sliding operation may be along the width of the side edge 222, and may be along other directions.
It is understood that a signal transmitting portion 444 and a signal receiving portion 446 may be disposed at an interval on the ultrasonic detection module 440. A plurality of signal transmitting sections 444 and a plurality of signal receiving sections 446 may be provided at intervals.
In some embodiments, the detection of the pressing position of the side edge 222 by the ultrasonic detection module 440 may be the detection of fingerprint information by the ultrasonic detection module 440 at the control area 2222 of the side edge 222. That is, when the ultrasonic detection module 440 detects the fingerprint information in the control area 2222 of the side 222, the processor of the electronic device 20 may determine that the finger of the user presses the control area 2222 of the side 222 according to the detected fingerprint information, and determine the position where the finger of the user presses the side 222 according to the fingerprint information.
It should be noted that, when the ultrasonic detection module 440 detects fingerprint information, the position where the user presses the side edge 222 can be determined. When electronic device 20 is in the lock screen state, this application embodiment ultrasonic detection module 440 can also realize the function of fingerprint unblock based on this fingerprint information after detecting fingerprint information. For example, when the electronic device 20 is in the screen-locked state, the fingerprint information may be compared with the preset fingerprint information stored in the electronic device 20 to determine whether the fingerprint information detected by the ultrasonic detection module 440 matches the preset fingerprint information, and if the fingerprint information matches the preset fingerprint information, the electronic device is controlled to unlock to display the interface of the electronic device 20. And if the fingerprint information is not matched with the preset fingerprint information, keeping the electronic equipment in a screen locking state. Therefore, the function of unblock can also be realized according to this fingerprint information after the ultrasonic detection module detects fingerprint information to this application embodiment, need not to set up fingerprint unblock module outside electronic equipment 20's the display denomination, can improve the screen and account for the ratio.
It will be appreciated that in actual operation, the duration of time that the user controls the functions of the electronic device 20 by operating the switch 400 is often relatively short. Can gather the duration that ultrasonic detection module 440 detected the whole process of fingerprint information, if it is long to be greater than predetermined duration, then can judge that the user needs to carry out the fingerprint unblock, and then can compare the fingerprint information of gathering with predetermined fingerprint information. If the duration is less than the preset duration, it may be determined that the user does not need to unlock the fingerprint, but only controls the operation switch 400 to control other functions of the electronic device 20.
In some embodiments, the ultrasonic detection modules 440 may be disposed on a plurality of sides 222 of the housing, respectively.
