The housing 1 includes a light-transmitting portion 13, and a mounting hole 11 is formed in the portion of the housing 1 excluding the light-transmitting portion 13. The housing 1 may be a rear shell of the electronic device 1000, and the camera may be a rear camera of the electronic device 1000. The camera is arranged on the inner side of the housing 1, and the camera collects external light through the light-transmitting portion 13 to achieve imaging.

[0028] Optionally, the base of the housing 1 may be a transparent glass piece, a resin piece, etc. The base of the housing 1 may be processed so that the portion of the housing 1 excluding the light-transmitting portion 13 has color, texture, pattern, etc. effects. In the process of processing the base of the housing 1, the light-transmitting portion 13 of the housing 1 is not processed, thereby ensuring that the light-transmitting portion 13 is transparent, thereby ensuring the light transmittance of the light-transmitting portion 13 and ensuring the shooting effect. The rest of the housing 1 excluding the light-transmitting portion 13 may be a non-light-transmitting area.

The anti-wear block 22 is arranged on the mounting bracket 21, and the mounting bracket 21 can carry and limit the anti-wear block 22. The mounting bracket 21 cooperates with the mounting hole 11 and is connected to the housing 1. The anti-wear block 22 is located in the mounting hole 11 and a part of the anti-wear block 22 protrudes from the outer surface of the housing 1 to protect the light-transmitting portion 13. Therefore, by arranging the anti-wear component 2 on the housing 1, when the electronic device 1000 is placed on a medium surface such as a desktop, since at least a part of the anti-wear block 22 protrudes from the outer surface of the housing 1, the anti-wear component 2 can be used as a support point, so that there is a gap between the light-transmitting portion 13 and the medium surface, thereby reducing the wear of the light-transmitting portion 13 and ensuring the shooting effect of the camera. In addition, the anti-wear component 2 can be arranged to be spaced apart from the light-transmitting portion 13, so as to avoid the influence of the anti-wear component 2 on the light entering the light-transmitting portion 13, and also avoid the adverse effects of the anti-wear component 2 on the light-transmitting portion 13 during the installation process.

[0030] The flash module 3 is arranged on the mounting bracket 21, and the mounting bracket 21 can carry and limit the flash module 3. The flash module 3 includes a flash 31, and a light hole 111 for the light emitted by the flash 31 to pass through is defined between the mounting bracket 21 and the anti-wear block 22, so that the light emitted by the flash 31 can pass through the light hole 111 between the mounting bracket 21 and the anti-wear block 22, thereby achieving a fill light effect on the camera. This design enables the anti-wear block 22 and the flash module 3 to be arranged on the mounting bracket 21, and the anti-wear block 22 and the flash module 3 are combined together, thereby realizing the structural merging of the flash 31 and the anti-wear block 22, reducing the internal space of the whole machine occupied by the flash module 3 and the anti-wear block 22 as a whole, which is beneficial to the stacking design of the components inside the whole machine, and makes the stacking design of the components inside the whole machine more flexible. At the same time, on the outer surface of the shell 1, the anti-wear block 22 and the flash module 3 are combined together, making the structure of the electronic device 1000 compact, thereby improving the appearance of the electronic device 1000 and making the electronic device 1000 easy to install.

The display assembly 200 is connected to the housing assembly 100, and the display assembly 200 can identify the user's touch command. An installation space 201 is defined between the display assembly 200 and the housing assembly 100. The mainboard is arranged in the installation space 201, and the display assembly 200 and the flash module 3 are both electrically connected to the mainboard. The mainboard can convert the touch command received by the display assembly 200 into an electrical signal and feedback it to the user. The mainboard can control the circuit board 32 of the flash module 3 through the electrical signal. The camera is arranged in the installation space 201 and is electrically connected to the mainboard. The mainboard can control the camera through the electrical signal. The lens of the camera is arranged relative to the light-transmitting portion 13, so that the light-transmitting portion 13 can protect the camera. The electronic device 1000 can be a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone or a tablet computer.

[0032] For example, the electronic device 1000 of the present application may be any one of various types of computer system devices that are mobile or portable and perform wireless communication ( Figure 1 Specifically, the electronic device 1000 may be a mobile phone or a smart phone (e.g., a phone based on iPhone™, a phone based on Android™), a portable gaming device (e.g., a Nintendo DS™, a PlayStation Portable™, a Gameboy Advance™, an iPhone™), a laptop, a PDA, a portable Internet device, a music player, a data storage device, or other handheld devices.

[0033] In the present application, the anti-wear block 22 and the flash module 3 are both arranged on the mounting bracket 21, and the anti-wear block 22 is combined with the flash module 3, so that the total space occupied by the anti-wear block 22 and the flash module 3 is reduced, and at the same time, the abrupt feeling when the user touches the outer surface of the shell 1 is reduced, the structure of the electronic device 1000 is compact, and the user experience is improved.

[0034] According to the electronic device 1000 of the present application, by arranging both the anti-wear block 22 and the flash module 3 on the mounting bracket 21, the structures of the flash module 3 and the anti-wear block 22 are merged, and the internal space of the whole machine occupied by the flash module 3 and the anti-wear block 22 is reduced, which is beneficial to the stacking design of components inside the whole machine, making the stacking design of components inside the whole machine more flexible, making the electronic device 1000 easy to install, and improving the appearance expression of the electronic device 1000.

[0035] Optionally, the anti-wear block 22 can be formed roughly as a cylinder, with a simple and beautiful structure. Alternatively, the anti-wear block 22 can be formed as an irregular structure, thereby increasing the diversity of the appearance of the electronic device 1000.

[0036] Optionally, the anti-wear block 22 may be a glass block or a ceramic block, for example, the anti-wear block 22 may be alumina ceramic, sapphire or the like.

[0037] Optionally, the anti-wear block 22 may be transparent, so that the light emitted by the flash 31 can pass through the transparent anti-wear block 22 , thereby making it visible from the outside that the anti-wear block 22 has a lighting effect, thereby improving the appearance of the electronic device 1000 .

[0038] Optionally, the anti-wear block 22 may also be opaque.

[0039] refer to Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Fig. 9 According to some embodiments of the present application, the cross section of the light hole 111 is annular. This design can form a continuous light hole 111 surrounding the anti-wear block 22, thereby increasing the light-emitting area of ​​the flash module 3, improving the fill light effect of the flash module 3, and making the electronic device 1000 simple and beautiful in structure. When the flash 31 is turned on, the light emitted by the flash 31 can surround the anti-wear block 22, thereby improving the visual impact and beauty of the electronic device 1000.

[0040] In some embodiments of the present application, the interior of the anti-wear block 22 may define a hole-shaped structure, and the light-through hole 111 is located on the inner circumference of the anti-wear block 22. This design allows the light emitted by the flash 31 to be concentrated, thereby improving the performance of the flash module 3. When the flash 31 is turned on, the light emitted by the flash 31 is emitted from the light-through hole 111, thereby improving the visual impact and aesthetics of the electronic device 1000.

[0041] refer to Figure 6 According to some embodiments of the present application, the flash lamp 31 is arranged opposite to the light hole 111. This design allows the light emitted by the flash lamp 31 to directly enter the light hole 311, thereby increasing the intensity of the light in the light hole 111 and improving the performance of the flash lamp module 3.

[0042] refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 According to some embodiments of the present application, a scattering cover 4 is provided at the light hole 111. The scattering cover 4 has good light transmission performance, and the scattering cover 4 can make the light emitted by the flash lamp 31 diverge into a large area of ​​white light, thereby improving the performance of the flash lamp module 3. At the same time, the scattering cover 4 can close the light hole 111 to prevent dust and water from entering. At least a portion of the outer surface of the anti-wear block 22 protrudes outward from the outer surface of the scattering cover 4. When the outer surface of the shell 1 is placed on a medium surface such as a desktop, the anti-wear block 22 can contact the medium surface such as the desktop. The anti-wear component 2 can serve as a supporting point, which can better ensure that there is a sufficient gap between the anti-wear component 2 and the light-transmitting portion 13, so as to better reduce the wear of the light-transmitting portion 13. For example, a portion of the outer surface of the anti-wear block 22 protrudes outward from the outer surface of the scattering cover 4; or, the outer surface of the anti-wear block 22 protrudes outward from the outer surface of the scattering cover 4 as a whole. At the same time, the outer surface of the scattering cover 4 can be set to protrude from the outer surface of the shell 1. Since at least a part of the outer surface of the anti-wear block 22 protrudes outward from the outer surface of the scattering cover 4, the scattering cover 4 and the anti-wear block 22 form a progressive protrusion structure on the shell 1, so that the touch feel of the anti-wear block 22 is not abrupt.

[0043] refer to Figure 7 Furthermore, the outer surface of the scattering cover 4 and the outer surface of the anti-wear block 22 are located in the same curved surface. This design allows the portion of the scattering cover 4 protruding from the housing 1 and the portion of the anti-wear block 22 protruding from the housing 1 to form a smooth and continuous structure, preventing the user from scratching his hand when touching the outer surface of the housing 1, thereby improving the appearance and touch feel of the electronic device 1000 and improving the user experience.

[0044] refer to Figure 7 Optionally, the outer surface of the scattering cover 4 and the outer surface of the anti-wear block 22 are cospherical, so that the portion of the scattering cover 4 protruding from the housing 1 and the portion of the anti-wear block 22 protruding from the housing 1 are smoother, preventing the scattering cover 4 and the anti-wear block 22 from scratching the hand. This design further improves the appearance and touch feel of the electronic device 1000.

For example, the fixing portion 211 can be bonded to the inner surface of the housing 1, and an adhesive layer 12 is provided between the fixing portion 211 and the inner surface of the housing 1. The mounting portion 212 is provided on the fixing portion 211 and is cylindrical. An accommodating cavity is defined between the mounting portion 212 and the fixing portion 211. The mounting portion 212 is provided in the mounting hole 11. The cylindrical mounting portion 212 can cooperate with the mounting hole 11. For example, the outer wall of the mounting portion 212 can be bonded to the inner peripheral wall of the mounting hole 11. The anti-wear block 22 is arranged in the accommodating cavity, and a light hole 111 is defined between the anti-wear block 22 and the mounting portion 212. When the flash 31 is turned on, the light emitted by the flash 31 is emitted from the light hole 111, thereby improving the visual impact and beauty of the electronic device 1000.

[0046] refer to Figure 6 and Figure 8 Furthermore, a through hole 2111 is formed in the portion of the fixing portion 211 corresponding to the accommodating cavity, and the through hole 2111 is opposite to and connected to the light through hole 111, so that light can be transmitted from the through hole 2111 to the light through hole 111. The flash lamp 31 is located in the through hole 2111, so that the light source of the flash lamp module 3 is located in the through hole 2111, and the structure is compact. The light emitted by the flash lamp 31 can be directly transmitted from the through hole 2111 to the light through hole 111 and then to the outside world, so that the propagation path of the light in the electronic device 1000 is shorter, and the loss of light during the propagation process is less.

[0047] refer to Figure 6 and Figure 8 Optionally, a plurality of through holes 2111 are arranged at circumferential intervals along the light hole 111, and the flash lamp 31 includes a plurality of lamp bodies, the number of which is the same as the number of the through holes 2111 and corresponds one to one, so that a lamp body is arranged in each through hole 2111, and the plurality of lamp bodies are arranged at circumferential intervals along the light hole 111, so that the light emitted by the flash lamp 31 is uniform, thereby improving the fill light performance of the flash lamp module 3.

[0048] In some embodiments of the present application, the flash 31 is formed as a single annular lamp body, and the through hole 2111 is formed as a continuous single one arranged along the circumference of the light through hole 111. The lamp body is accommodated in the through hole 2111. When the flash 31 is turned on, the flash 31 can emit a uniform and continuous annular light, thereby improving the fill light performance of the flash module 3.

[0049] refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6Optionally, a scattering cover 4 is provided at the light hole 111, and the scattering cover 4 can scatter multiple point light sources emitted by multiple lamp bodies into a large area of ​​white light. The scattering cover 4 can be formed in a ring shape.

When the outer surface of the shell 1 is placed on a medium surface such as a desktop, the anti-wear block 22 can contact the medium surface such as the desktop, and the scattering cover 4 can be separated from the medium surface such as the desktop, thereby reducing the wear of the scattering cover 4. For example, a portion of the outer surface of the anti-wear block 22 protrudes outward from the outer surface of the scattering cover 4; or, the outer surface of the anti-wear block 22 protrudes outward from the outer surface of the scattering cover 4 as a whole. The anti-wear block 22 can be interference fit in the cavity defined by the inner wall of the scattering cover 4, so that the anti-wear block 22 and the scattering cover 4 have a higher connection strength. The scattering cover 4 is supported on the surface of the fixing portion 211 facing the accommodating cavity, so that the fixing portion 211 can support the scattering cover 4 to prevent the scattering cover 4 from moving. The scattering cover 4 can be interference fit in the light-through hole 211, the outer wall of the scattering cover 4 can abut against the inner wall of the light-through hole 211, and the inner wall of the scattering cover 4 can abut against the outer wall of the anti-wear block 22, so that the scattering cover 4 and the mounting portion 212 have a higher connection strength.
