Description

Electronic equipment

Technical Field

The application relates to the field of camera assembly of electronic equipment, in particular to electronic equipment.

Background

The front camera of the electronic equipment such as a mobile phone, a computer and the like is arranged below the display screen. The display screen is generally composed of a supporting layer, a display layer, a touch control layer, a cover plate and other structures, the cover plate is a transparent structure positioned at the uppermost layer of the display screen, in order to enable external light to penetrate through the display screen into the lens, the lower layer structure of the display screen except the cover plate is required to be provided with holes, and the lens of the front camera is extended into the holes of the lens at the lower layer of the display screen. In order to avoid stray light from entering the lens, a silk-screen black edge for shading is arranged below the cover plate of the display screen, and the periphery of the lens and a gap between the lens and the inner wall of the opening of the lens are covered. Electronic devices generally pursue ultra-high screen duty ratio, and excessive screen printing black edges can directly lead to reduced screen duty ratio of the electronic devices, so that the appearance and display effect of the electronic devices are affected. Therefore, the screen black edge needs to be reduced in a mode of reducing the diameter of the lens, reducing the gap between the lens and the lens opening, and the like, so that the screen occupation ratio of the electronic equipment is improved, and the display effect and the appearance of the equipment are optimized.

The electronic equipment can be divided into a sandwich type and an integrated type according to a body structure, the shell of the sandwich structure type comprises a middle frame and a rear cover (also called a battery rear cover and a battery cover), the middle frame and the rear cover are detachable, the shell of the integrated structure type only comprises the middle frame, the middle frame comprises an integrally formed outer frame and a bottom plate, and the bottom plate is used as the rear cover. For the model of the sandwich structure, since the display screen and the rear cover are respectively installed on two sides of the middle frame, after the middle frame and the display screen are assembled, enough operation space is still reserved for installing the front camera. For example, referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of an electronic device with a sandwich structure in the prior art. The display screen 1' may be fixed to one side of the middle frame 2', the camera support 3' may be fixed to the bottom plate 21' of the middle frame 2' from the other side, the front camera 4' may be mounted in the camera support 3', and the rear cover 5' may be fixed to the other side of the middle frame 2 '. By adopting the assembly sequence to assemble the front camera 4', in the step of installing the front camera 4' in the camera support 3', the lens 41' of the front camera 4' can be directly aligned to the center of the lens opening 10' at the lower layer of the display screen 1', the front camera 4' is fixed on the camera support 3' by means of dispensing and the like after the position of the lens 41' is adjusted, and the tolerance chain between the lens 41' and the lens opening 10' is shortened to the shortest, so that the gap d1' between the lens opening 10' and the lens 41' can be minimized (generally can reach 0.3 mm). However, this solution is only suitable for the type of sandwich structure, but for the type of integrated structure, the outer frame and the bottom plate of the middle frame are not detachable, and a closed space is formed after the middle frame and the display screen are assembled, so that all elements including the front camera are required to be installed in the middle frame before the middle frame and the display screen are assembled, and the lens opening cannot be directly centered, resulting in larger tolerance between the lens and the lens opening.

For the model of the integrated architecture, please refer to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of an electronic device with an integrated structure in the prior art. The assembly sequence of the prior art is generally: the front camera 4 'is fixedly mounted in the camera mount 3', the camera mount 3 'with the front camera 4' mounted thereon is fixedly mounted on the bottom plate 21 'of the center frame 2' (the bottom plate 21 'is configured as a rear cover of the electronic device), and the display screen 1' is finally fixed on the outer frame 22 'of the center frame 2'. For this assembly sequence, the final assembly step of the display 1' is to align the outer edge of the cover plate 11' in the display 1' with the outer edge 22' of the middle frame 2', and the cooperation between the front camera 4' and the display 1' is affected by the three steps of assembling the front camera 4' with the camera bracket 3', assembling the camera bracket 3' with the middle frame 2', and assembling the middle frame 2' with the display 1 '. In addition, when the display screen 1 'and the middle frame 2' are assembled, the cover plate 11 'on the upper layer of the display screen 1' is aligned with the middle frame 2', and assembly tolerance exists between the cover plate 11' and the lens opening 10 'on the lower layer of the display screen 1'. Thus, the tolerance chain between the lens 41 'and the lens aperture 10' comprises: the assembly tolerance of the cover plate 11' of the display screen 1' and the lower layer lens opening 10' of the display screen 1', the assembly tolerance of the front camera 4' and the camera bracket 3', the assembly tolerance of the camera bracket 3' and the middle frame 2', and the assembly tolerance of the middle frame 2' and the display screen 1' can be seen that the size chain is too long and the accumulated tolerance is large, so that the size of the lens opening 10' needs to be increased, and a larger lens avoiding space is reserved to ensure that the assembly can be smoothly carried out. Generally, a gap d2' between a lens and a lens opening of an electronic device of an integrated structure model is also about 0.4mm at a minimum.

Therefore, in the electronic device with the integrated structure in the prior art, an assembly tolerance chain between a lens opening on a display screen and a lens of a front camera is long, an accumulated tolerance is large, a larger avoiding gap needs to be reserved between the lens and the lens opening, so that the size of a screen printing black edge of the lens on the display screen is larger, the screen occupation ratio of the electronic device is reduced, and the appearance and the display effect of the electronic device are influenced.

Hereinafter, the electronic device in the embodiment of the present application will be described by taking a mobile phone as an example.

Referring to fig. 3-4, fig. 3 is a schematic front view of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application, where the viewing angle is a front surface of the electronic device; fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application.

As shown in fig. 3-4, the present application provides an electronic device 100, including a center 1, a display 2, a camera bracket 3, and a camera 4. Wherein the camera 4 is a front camera. The middle frame 1 includes a bottom plate 11, and an outer frame 12 extending in the circumferential direction of the bottom plate 11 (the middle frame in the drawings of the present application is not complete, but only partially constructed as an illustration), and the bottom plate 11 is configured as a rear cover (also called a battery cover, a battery rear cover) of the electronic device 100. The outer peripheral edge 24 of the display screen 2 is fixedly connected to one end of the outer frame 12, which is away from the bottom plate 11, and the display screen 2 and the middle frame 1 are formed with a mounting cavity 5 in a surrounding mode, and a lens opening 20 is formed in one side, facing the mounting cavity 5, of the display screen 2.

The display 2 is located on the front of the electronic device 100, and the bottom plate 11 of the middle frame 1 is located on the back of the electronic device 100. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the front side of the electronic device 100 is the side that faces the user during normal use, and the back side of the electronic device 100 is the side that faces away from the user during normal use.

It should be noted that the specific structure and materials of the frame 1 in the present application are not limited herein. For example, in one example, the outer frame 12 of the middle frame 1 includes a top rim 121, a bottom rim 122, a left rim 123, and a right rim 124. The top frame 121 is disposed opposite to the bottom frame 122 in the longitudinal direction y of the electronic device, and the left side frame 123 is disposed opposite to the right side frame 124 in the width direction x of the electronic device. The edge of the bottom plate 11 is matched with the outer frame 12, and covers and is connected with one end of the outer frame 12.

The material of the middle frame 1 may be metal, or nonmetal such as glass, plastic, or both metal and nonmetal. In one example, the main body of the middle frame 1 may be made of a metal material, have sufficient structural strength, and play a role in bending resistance and impact fracture resistance to support and protect the internal structure of the electronic device 100, and the rest of the middle frame 1 may be made of a non-metal material. The main body portion of the middle frame 1 refers to a structure of the middle frame 1 mainly used for bearing pressure, and the rest portions may include an outer surface of the middle frame 1, a non-bearing structural member located inside the installation cavity 5, and the like. For example, the main body of the middle frame 1 may be made of a high-strength metal such as die-cast aluminum alloy or magnesium alloy, and the outer surface of the middle frame 1 may be made of a non-metal material.

Further, the fixing manner of the display screen 2 and the middle frame 1 is not limited herein. For example, the outer peripheral edge 24 of the display 2 is adapted to the outer rim 12 of the middle rim 1 and forms a seam. Wherein the seam is the cover plate 21 of the display screen 2 and the seam formed when the cover plate is spliced with the outer frame 12. At this time, the glue is filled in the joints through an adhesion process (for example, a dispensing process, a caulking process, etc.), after the glue is cured, a glue portion is formed to adhesively fix the display screen 2 to the outer frame 12 of the middle frame 1, and the cured glue portion can seal the joints between the cover plate 21 and the outer frame 12 to prevent dust and liquid outside the electronic device 100 from entering the inside of the mounting cavity 5 through the joints. Wherein the glue portion may comprise one or more of an inner caulking glue portion, an outer caulking glue portion and a step glue portion.

Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the material of the flowable adhesive is not limited. In one example, the flowable adhesive may be a polyurethane hot melt adhesive. It should be noted that the glue joint formed by the flowable adhesive may be formed by curing the polyurethane hot melt adhesive with the same property, or may be formed by curing the polyurethane hot melt adhesives with different properties. For example, in the glue portion formed by curing polyurethane hot melt adhesives of different properties, the modulus of elasticity of the caulk glue portion is smaller, and the modulus of elasticity of the caulk glue portion is larger.

As shown in fig. 3 to 4, the camera bracket 3 is located in the mounting cavity 5 and is fixed to a side of the display screen 2 facing the mounting cavity 5 to be fixedly connected to the middle frame 1 through the display screen 2, and the camera bracket 3 is provided with a receiving cavity 31 penetrating through the camera bracket 3 in a thickness direction z of the electronic device, and one end of the receiving cavity 31 away from the display screen 2 is provided as a guide structure 32.

The camera 4 is located in the mounting cavity 5 and penetrates through the accommodating cavity 31 of the camera bracket 3, so that the camera 4 is relatively fixed relative to the camera bracket 3 in a direction perpendicular to the thickness direction z of the electronic device. The direction perpendicular to the thickness direction z of the electronic device refers to a direction perpendicular to the thickness direction z of the electronic device, and includes directions in a plane perpendicular to the thickness direction z of the electronic device, such as a length direction y of the electronic device, a width direction x of the electronic device (see fig. 6), and the like.

It should be noted that, in the present application, the mutual verticality is not absolute verticality, and the approximate verticality (for example, the included angle between two structural features is 89.9 °) due to the machining error and the assembly error is also within the range of the mutual verticality in the present application. In addition, the latter-mentioned mutual parallelism is not absolute, and approximate parallelism (for example, an angle between two structural features of 0.1 °) due to machining errors and assembly errors is also within the scope of mutual parallelism in the present application. This application is not particularly limited, and the description of mutually perpendicular and mutually parallel definitions is not repeated hereinafter.

The lens 41 of the camera 4 is located in the lens opening 20 of the display screen 2, and an end of the camera 4 away from the lens 41 is placed on the bottom plate 11 of the middle frame 1, so that the camera 4 is clamped between the bottom plate 11 of the middle frame 1 and the camera bracket 3 in the thickness direction z of the electronic device.

Wherein the guide structure 32 is arranged to: the camera 4 is guided into the receiving chamber 31 of the camera mount 3, and when the camera 4 is disengaged from the receiving chamber 31 of the camera mount 3, the camera 4 is movable relative to the bottom plate 11 of the center 1 in a direction perpendicular to the thickness direction z of the electronic apparatus. Or it can be understood that the camera 4 can slide on the bottom plate 11 of the center 1 (including sliding in the length direction y of the electronic device, the width direction x of the electronic device, and other directions perpendicular to the thickness direction z of the electronic device).

The electronic device 100 provided by the application has the advantages that the camera support 3 is directly fixed on the display screen 2, so that assembly tolerance of the camera support 3 and the middle frame 1 cannot be generated. In addition, the camera 4 is not directly fixedly connected with the middle frame 1, but is only placed on the bottom plate 11 of the middle frame 1, in the assembly process, the camera 4 is only required to be placed at a preset position on the bottom plate 11 of the middle frame 1, the display screen 2 provided with the camera bracket 3 is buckled to the middle frame 1, the camera 4 can directly enter the accommodating cavity 31 of the camera bracket 3, and the camera 4 is directly fixed at the installation position through the cooperation of the camera bracket 3 and the bottom plate 11 with the camera 4 respectively. Because the camera support 3 has kept away from the one end of display screen 2 (i.e. the one end that supplies camera 4 to get into when the lock display screen 2) and has set up guide structure 32, camera 4 can be under the guide of guide structure 32 along the direction that is perpendicular to electronic equipment's thickness direction z upward (or understand that camera 4 has certain activity space 6 on the bottom plate 11 of center 1, activity space 6 is located the circumference of camera 4), finally by the block in holding the intracavity 31. When the display screen 2 is completely fastened to the outer frame 12 of the center 1, the camera 4 is clamped between the camera mount 3 and the base plate 11 in the thickness direction z of the electronic device. In a direction perpendicular to the thickness direction z of the electronic apparatus, the camera 4 and the camera mount 3 also remain relatively fixed, thereby completing the mounting of the camera 4.
