Referring to fig. 1, an electronic device 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application may be a mobile phone or a tablet computer, which is not limited herein.

For convenience of understanding, the structure of the electronic device 100 is described below by taking a mobile phone as an example.

The electronic device 100 includes a first body 10, a second body 20, and a screen 30.

Wherein, the first body 10 and the second body 20 are rotatably connected such that the electronic device 100 has an unfolded state and a folded state. There are many possibilities for the way the first body 10 and the second body 20 are rotatably connected.

For example, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the first body 10 and the second body 20 may be connected by a hinge 101, or the first body 10 and the second body 20 may be connected by a housing that can be bent and deformed to be folded. The rotational connection between the first body 10 and the second body 20 is not limited herein.

Each of the first body 10 and the second body 20 has a side frame 100a and a rear case 100b, and a cavity having an open side is defined by the side frame 100a and the rear case 100b, so that the cavity accommodates devices such as a control chip and a battery of the electronic apparatus 100.

In some embodiments, the screen 30 is disposed on the same side of the first body 10 and the second body 20, and when the electronic device 100 is in the folded state, the screen 30 is disposed on the outside of the electronic device 100, specifically, in the folded state, the displayable surface 30a of the screen 30 is exposed on the outside of the electronic device 100.

It should be noted that the screen 30 is a flexible screen 30, so that the screen 30 can be folded or unfolded by the relative rotation of the first body 10 and the second body 20. For example, as shown in fig. 1, when the electronic device 100 is in the unfolded state, the first body 10 and the second body 20 are horizontally unfolded side by side, and the screen 30 presents the maximum display screen. Accordingly, when the electronic device 100 is in the folded state, the screen 30 is folded in half as the first body 10 and the second body 20 are folded.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, a first sound emitting unit 11 and a second sound emitting unit 12 are disposed in the first body 10, and a third sound emitting unit 21 and a fourth sound emitting unit 22 are disposed in the second body 20. The electronic device 100 is provided with sound outlet holes 102 corresponding to the sound outlet directions of the first sound outlet unit 11, the second sound outlet unit 12, the third sound outlet unit 21 and the fourth sound outlet unit 22, so that the sound outlet holes 102 can be used to meet the sound outlet requirement of the sound played by the sound outlet units at the corresponding positions. The sound output holes 102 may be formed in the side frame 100a or the rear case 100b, as long as they are adapted to allow sound generated by the corresponding sound output units to be transmitted.

The first sound emitting unit 11 and the third sound emitting unit 21 are arranged at positions corresponding to each other, and the second sound emitting unit 12 and the fourth sound emitting unit 22 are arranged at positions corresponding to each other. As shown in fig. 6 and 7, when the electronic apparatus 100 is in the folded state, the sound cavity 11a of the first sound emitting unit 11 is communicated with the sound cavity 21a of the third sound emitting unit 21, and the sound cavity 12a of the second sound emitting unit 12 is communicated with the sound cavity 22a of the fourth sound emitting unit 22. The mode is utilized to realize the sharing of the sound cavity so as to enlarge the whole volume of the sound cavity and improve the whole sound effect.

Taking the electronic device 100 in the folded state, for example, the sound cavity 11a of the first sound emitting unit 11 is communicated with the sound cavity 21a of the third sound emitting unit 21, when the first sound emitting unit 11 and the third sound emitting unit 21 respectively adopt the middle-high frequency speaker and the full-frequency speaker, because the sound cavity 11a of the first sound emitting unit 11 is communicated with the sound cavity 21a of the third sound emitting unit 21, the full-frequency speaker adopted by the third sound emitting unit 21 can utilize the sound cavity 11a of the first sound emitting unit 11 to obtain a larger sound cavity volume, so that a fuller bass can be obtained when playing a low-frequency signal, and the whole sound effect is better in combination with the middle-high frequency response of the middle-high frequency speaker adopted by the first sound emitting unit 11.

Accordingly, in the folded state of the electronic device 100, since the sound cavity 12a of the second sound emitting unit 12 is communicated with the sound cavity 22a of the fourth sound emitting unit 22, the communication between the two sound cavities can be fully utilized to increase the volume of the whole sound cavity, so as to obtain a better sound effect.

With this arrangement, since the electronic device 100 is in the folded state, the sound cavity 11a of the first sound emitting unit 11 is communicated with the sound cavity 21a of the third sound emitting unit 21, and can be used for playing a side channel signal of a binaural signal, and the sound cavity 12a of the second sound emitting unit 12 is communicated with the sound cavity 22a of the fourth sound emitting unit 22, and can be used for playing another side channel signal of the binaural signal, thereby implementing a frequency division stereo effect of the binaural signal as a whole.

It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the types of the first sound emitting unit 11, the second sound emitting unit 12, the third sound emitting unit 21, and the fourth sound emitting unit 22 depend on the type of the audio signal played by them. For example, the first sound emitting unit 11 and the second sound emitting unit 12 are both middle and high frequency speakers for playing middle and high frequency audio signals. The third sound emitting unit 21 and the fourth sound emitting unit 22 are all full-frequency speakers for playing full-frequency audio signals.

When the electronic device 100 is in the unfolded state, because the first body 10 and the second body 20 are in the state of being flattened, the first sound emitting unit 11, the second sound emitting unit 12, the third sound emitting unit 21 and the fourth sound emitting unit 22 all have independent sound cavities, that is, the sound cavity 11a of the first sound emitting unit 11 is not communicated with the sound cavity 21a of the third sound emitting unit 21, and the sound cavity 12a of the second sound emitting unit 12 is not communicated with the sound cavity 22a of the fourth sound emitting unit 22, so that the first sound emitting unit 11, the second sound emitting unit 12, the third sound emitting unit 21 and the fourth sound emitting unit 22 can be respectively utilized to play four channel signals, thereby achieving a four-channel sound effect.

As can be seen from the above, switching between the two-channel and the four-channel can be adapted by switching between the unfolded state and the folded state of the electronic device 100, so as to obtain a good stereo sound effect experience.

In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 includes a first sealing component to selectively close or communicate the sound cavity 11a of the first sound emitting unit 11 and the sound cavity 21a of the third sound emitting unit 21 when the electronic device 100 is switched between the unfolded state and the folded state.

In this embodiment, the connectivity between the sound cavity 11a of the first sound emitting unit 11 and the sound cavity 21a of the third sound emitting unit 21 corresponds to the state of the electronic device 100, so that the electronic device 100 can form a dual-channel sound emitting system and a four-channel sound emitting system in the unfolded state and the folded state, respectively, thereby obtaining a good use experience.

The electronic apparatus 100 includes a second sealing member to selectively close or communicate the sound cavity 21a of the third sound emitting unit 21 and the sound cavity 22a of the fourth sound emitting unit 22 when the electronic apparatus 100 is switched between the unfolded state and the folded state.

The first seal assembly and the second seal assembly may take the same configuration.

The structure of the electronic device 100 will be further described below by taking the structure of the first sealing member as an example.

As shown in fig. 3 and 4, the first sealing assembly includes a first sealing cover 111 and a first abutting member 112 which are arranged in pair. The first sealing cover 111 is elastically disposed on the first body 10, the first abutting member 112 is disposed on the second body 20, and when the electronic device 100 is in the unfolded state, the first sealing cover 111 seals the sound cavity 11a of the first sound emitting unit 11. As shown in fig. 6, when the electronic device 100 is in the folded state, the first abutting piece 112 abuts against the first sealing cover 111, and the first sealing cover 111 is located in the sound cavity 11a of the first sound emitting unit 11, so as to communicate the sound cavity 11a of the first sound emitting unit 11 with the sound cavity 21a of the third sound emitting unit 21.

It should be noted that the first sealing cover 111 may be supported in the first body 10 by an elastic member 113 such as a spring, an elastic rod or an elastic rod, and the elastic member 113 keeps the first sealing cover 111 at the opening 11b sealing the sound cavity 11a of the first sound emitting unit 11 under the action of no external force, so that the first sealing cover 111 seals the sound cavity 11a of the first sound emitting unit 11, so that the sound cavity 11a of the first sound emitting unit 11 has good sealing performance when the electronic device 100 is in the unfolded state, and performs audio playing. Wherein, the opening 11b of the sound cavity 11a of the first sound emitting unit 11 is located at the rear shell 100b of the first body 100.

In the folded state of the electronic device 100, the first abutting member 112 drives the first sealing cover 111 to compress the elastic member 113, so that the first sealing cover 111 releases the sealing of the sound cavity 11a of the first sound emitting unit 11. It can be understood that, since the first abutting member 112 is disposed in the second body 20, when the electronic device 100 is folded, the first abutting member 112 can extend out of the second body 20 to press the first sealing cover 111. In the process that the first abutting piece 112 extends out of the second body 20, the sound cavity 21a of the third sound emitting unit 21 is opened, so that the sound cavity 21a of the third sound emitting unit 21 is communicated with the sound cavity 11a of the first sound emitting unit 11. For example, the cover plate 211 is disposed on the first supporting member 112, when the electronic device 100 is in the unfolded state, the cover plate 211 seals the opening 21b of the sound cavity 21a of the third sound emitting unit 21, so as to achieve the effect of sealing the sound cavity 21a of the third sound emitting unit 21, when the electronic device 100 is in the folded state, in the process that the first supporting member 112 extends out from the second body 20, the cover plate 211 abuts against the first sealing cover 111 and enters the sound cavity 11a of the first sound emitting unit 11 together, so that the sound cavity 11a of the first sound emitting unit 11 and the sound cavity 21a of the third sound emitting unit 21 are communicated.

As shown in fig. 5 and fig. 6, a linkage mechanism 40 is disposed in the second body 20, and in the process of relative rotation between the first body 10 and the second body 20, the linkage mechanism 40 drives the first abutting member 112 to extend out of the second body 20 or to be received in the second body 20, so that when the electronic device 100 is in the folded state, the first abutting member 112 is driven by the linkage mechanism 40 to abut against the cover plate 211 and the first sealing cover 111, so that the sound cavity 11a of the first sound emitting unit 11 and the sound cavity 21a of the third sound emitting unit 21 are communicated with each other.

The power source of the linkage mechanism 40 may be provided by the acting force when the first body 10 and the second body 20 rotate with each other, or may be provided by an electric device such as a motor or a cylinder provided in the electronic device 100, which is not limited herein.

In some embodiments, the first retaining member 112 may be a rack and the linkage 40 includes a drive gear 41, a belt 42, and a drive gear 43. The driving gear 41 is engaged with the first abutting part 112, the driving gear 43 is in transmission connection with the driving gear 41 through the belt 42, that is, when the driving gear 43 rotates, the driving gear 41 can be linked through the belt 42 to rotate, so that the first abutting part 112 can move in a telescopic manner relative to the second body 20 under the driving of the driving gear 41, and further the cover plate 211 and the first sealing cover 111 are opened, thereby the communication between the sound cavity 11a of the first sound emitting unit 11 and the sound cavity 21a of the third sound emitting unit 21 is realized.

Accordingly, when the first abutting member 112 is received in the second body 20, the cover plate 211 is driven to reseal the opening 21b of the sound cavity 21a of the third sound emitting unit 21, and at the same time, the first sealing cover 111 is driven by the elastic member 113 to be reset to the opening 11b of the sound cavity 11a of the first sound emitting unit 11, so as to ensure the sealing performance of the sound cavity 11a of the first sound emitting unit 11.

A driving motor (not shown) is disposed in the electronic device 100, and the driving motor drives the driving teeth 43 to rotate during the folding or unfolding process of the electronic device 100.

In the embodiment where the first body 10 and the second body 20 are provided with the rotating shaft 101, when the first body 10 and the second body 20 rotate relatively, the rotating shaft 101 can drive the driving teeth 43 to rotate. For example, the rotating shaft 101 is provided with a gear set or a turbine engaged with the driving tooth 43, so that during the relative rotation of the first body 10 and the second body 20, the rotating shaft 101 drives the driving tooth 43 to rotate, so that the driving tooth 43 drives the first abutting member 112 to extend out of the second body 20 or retract into the second body 20 through the linkage mechanism 40, thereby satisfying the requirement of communication and sealing of the corresponding sound cavity.

The position where the first sealing member is disposed in the electronic apparatus 100 is not limited to the above-described case. For example, in some embodiments, the first sealing component includes a second sealing cover and a second abutting member, which are arranged in pair, the second sealing cover is elastically arranged on the second body 20, the second abutting member is arranged on the first body 10, and when the electronic device 100 is in the unfolded state, the second sealing cover seals the sound cavity 21a of the third sound emitting unit 21, and when the electronic device 100 is in the folded state, the second abutting member abuts against the second sealing cover and makes the second sealing cover be located in the sound cavity 21a of the third sound emitting unit 21, so as to communicate the sound cavity 21a of the third sound emitting unit 21 with the sound cavity 11a of the first sound emitting unit 11. The structural principles of the second sealing cover and the second abutting member can refer to the structural principles of the first sealing cover 111 and the first abutting member 112, and are not described in detail herein.

In other embodiments, the first seal assembly includes an electrically controlled drive member and a slide cover. The electrically controlled driving member is used for driving the sliding cover to move when the electronic device 100 is switched between the unfolded state and the folded state, wherein when the electronic device 100 is in the unfolded state, the sliding cover seals the sound cavity 11a of the first sound emitting unit 11 or the sound cavity 21a of the third sound emitting unit 21, so that the sliding cover can seal the corresponding sound cavity. When the electronic device 100 is in the folded state, the sliding cover is driven by the electrically controlled driving member to move away from between the first sound emitting unit 11 and the third sound emitting unit 21, and the sound cavity 11a of the first sound emitting unit 11 is communicated with the sound cavity 21a of the third sound emitting unit 21. The electric control driving part can be a telescopic cylinder, or the electric control driving part can be other structural parts which can drive the sliding cover to move so as to open or seal the corresponding sound cavity in time.

It should be noted that, when the electronic device 100 is in the folded state, the sliding cover may drive the sealing cover sealing the third sound emitting unit 21 to move away while releasing the sealing of the first sound emitting unit 11, so as to enable the sound cavity 11a of the first sound emitting unit 11 to communicate with the sound cavity 21a of the third sound emitting unit 21.

In some embodiments, the first sound emitting unit 11 and the third sound emitting unit 21 are configured with corresponding first sealing assemblies, so that the sound cavity 11a of the first sound emitting unit 11 and the sound cavity 21a of the third sound emitting unit 21 can be respectively sealed by using corresponding sliding covers, and when the electronic device 100 is in the folded state, the electrically controlled driving members in the corresponding first sealing assemblies respectively drive the sliding covers to move, so that the sound cavities 21a of the first sound emitting unit 11 and the third sound emitting unit 21 are both opened, and since the positions of the first sound emitting unit 11 and the third sound emitting unit 21 are opposite to each other when the electronic device 100 is in the folded state, the sound cavities of the first sound emitting unit 11 and the third sound emitting unit 21 are communicated with each other after the sliding covers of the first sound emitting unit 11 and the third sound emitting unit are removed.

It should be noted that, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, one of the first body 10 and the second body 20 is provided with a sealing member 103, and when the electronic device 100 is in a folded state, the sealing member 103 is clamped between the first body 10 and the second body 20, specifically, the sealing member 103 is clamped between the back shells 100b of the first body 10 and the second body 20. The sealing member 103 serves to seal the peripheral side of the position where the sound chambers 21a of the first sound emitting unit 11 and the third sound emitting unit 21 communicate with each other, so that the sound chamber 11a of the first sound emitting unit 11 and the sound chamber 21a of the third sound emitting unit 21 communicate with each other, and the sealing member has good sealing performance as a whole to obtain good sound effects.

Accordingly, a seal 103 is also provided at the corresponding positions of the second sound emitting unit 12 and the fourth sound emitting unit 22 to improve the sealing property of the peripheral side of the position where the sound cavity 12a of the second sound emitting unit 12 and the sound cavity 22a of the fourth sound emitting unit 22 communicate.

The seal 103 may be an annular structure of sealing material. In some embodiments, the material of the sealing member 103 may be selected from silicone or resin, so that the sealing member 103 may be integrated with the rear housing 100b by injection molding or bonding, and the consistency of the overall appearance effect is obtained.

As shown in fig. 2 and 3, in some embodiments, when the electronic device 100 is in the unfolded state, the first sound emitting unit 11, the second sound emitting unit 12, the third sound emitting unit 21, and the fourth sound emitting unit 22 are respectively located at four corners of the electronic device 100. With this arrangement, the electronic device 100 can make the four channels not interfere with each other in the unfolded state, so as to present a good stereo effect. Accordingly, in the folded state, the first sound emitting unit 11 and the third sound emitting unit 21 are located at one side of the electronic device 100, and the second sound emitting unit 12 and the fourth sound emitting unit 22 are located at the other side of the electronic device 100, so that when the electronic device 100 outputs audio, a better two-channel crossover stereo experience is obtained.

There are many different arrangements of the sound emitting directions of the first sound emitting unit 11, the second sound emitting unit 12, the third sound emitting unit 21, and the fourth sound emitting unit 22, that is, their arrangement directions in the electronic apparatus 100.

For convenience of understanding, the following description will further describe the arrangement of the first sound emitting unit 11, the second sound emitting unit 12, the third sound emitting unit 21 and the fourth sound emitting unit 22 by taking the electronic device 100 in the unfolded state as an example.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 3, the sound emitting directions of the first sound emitting unit 11, the second sound emitting unit 12, the third sound emitting unit 21, and the fourth sound emitting unit 22 are all parallel to the folding axis of the electronic device 100 and parallel to the screen 30, where the folding axis of the electronic device 100 refers to a rotation axis of the first body 10 and the second body 20 relative to each other during the folding process of the electronic device 100, that is, when the first body 10 and the second body 20 are rotatably connected by the rotating shaft 101, a longitudinal axis of the rotating shaft 101 is the folding axis of the electronic device 100.

The sound emitting directions of the first sound emitting unit 11, the second sound emitting unit 12, the third sound emitting unit 21, and the fourth sound emitting unit 22 may not be parallel to the folding axis of the electronic apparatus 100. For example, as shown in fig. 2, the sound emitting directions of the second sound emitting unit 12 and the fourth sound emitting unit 22 are arranged at an angle with respect to the folding axis of the electronic device 100. As long as the electronic device 100 is in the unfolded state, the four-channel stereo effect can be realized through the four sound output units.

In some embodiments, a push-pull sound output system is combined by arranging the positions of the corresponding sound output units in the electronic device 100. As shown in fig. 7, the first sound emitting unit 11 and the third sound emitting unit 21 constitute a push-pull sound emitting system when the electronic apparatus 100 is in a folded state. That is, when the electronic apparatus 100 is in the folded state, the opening direction of the first sound emitting unit 11 is opposite to the opening direction of the third sound emitting unit 21.

In the folded state of the electronic apparatus 100, the opening directions of the second sound emitting unit 12 and the fourth sound emitting unit 22 are opposite, and a push-pull sound emitting system is configured to obtain a good sound effect.
