DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0035] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments in the present application belong to the scope of protection of this application.

[0036] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchangeable under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described here, and the objects distinguished by "first", "second", etc. are generally of one type, and the number of objects is not limited. For example, the first object can be one or more. In addition, "and / or" in the specification and claims represents at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the objects associated with each other are in an "or" relationship.

[0037] Please refer to Figures 1 to 8 An embodiment of the present application discloses an electronic device, and the disclosed electronic device includes a housing, a circuit board and a vibration device 100.

[0038] The housing is a basic component of the electronic device, and can provide an installation basis for some functional components of the electronic device, such as a display screen and a circuit board. Among them, the circuit board is arranged in the housing. Optionally, the circuit board is usually fixed in the housing by bonding, riveting, etc. The housing includes a battery cover 200, and the battery cover 200 is provided with a first mounting groove 210. The vibration device 100 is arranged in the first mounting groove 210, and the vibration device 100 is electrically connected to the circuit board so that the circuit board can control the start and stop of the vibration device 100. Optionally, the vibration device 100 can be arranged in the first mounting groove 210 in a fixed manner to achieve the purpose of stable installation.

[0039] Optionally, the vibration device 100 may be a vibrator or an electromagnetic motor, for example, a piezoelectric ceramic motor may be used, which has the advantages of small thickness and simple structure, and is more conducive to the thinning design of electronic equipment. Optionally, the first mounting groove 210 may be formed on the inner surface of the battery cover 200 by etching, machining, etc.

[0040] In the embodiment disclosed in the present application, the battery cover 200 is provided with a first mounting groove 210, and the vibration device 100 is disposed in the first mounting groove 210, that is, the vibration device 100 is disposed in the battery cover 200, and does not occupy the space inside the electronic device. Compared with the technical solution of arranging the vibration device 100 inside the electronic device in the related art, the embodiment disclosed in the present application reduces the thickness of the electronic device. It can be seen that the electronic device disclosed in the present application can solve the problem of the large thickness of the electronic device equipped with the vibration device 100 in the related art.

[0041] At the same time, the vibration device 100 is disposed on the battery cover 200 , so the battery cover 200 can serve as a direct transmission source of the vibration of the vibration device 100 , directly transmitting the vibration to the user, thereby enhancing the user's vibration experience.

[0042] In addition, the circuit board includes a main board and a sub-board. In the related art, the vibration device 100 can be arranged on the main board or the sub-board. However, since a variety of functional devices are arranged on both the main board and the sub-board, the setting position of the vibration device 100 needs to avoid the position where the functional devices are located, resulting in inflexible arrangement of the vibration device 100. In the embodiment disclosed in the present application, the battery cover 200 is only provided with a decorative ring 600 for exposing structures such as the rear camera, and the vibration device 100 only needs to avoid the position where the decorative ring 600 is located, making the arrangement of the vibration device 100 more flexible, thereby facilitating the design of the setting position of the vibration device 100, and also facilitating the integration of more vibration devices 100 into electronic devices.

[0043] In order to enable the user to obtain vibration experiences in different directions and at different levels, in the embodiments disclosed in the present application, the number of vibration devices 100 may be multiple, and each vibration device 100 may be electrically connected to the circuit board. Accordingly, the number of first mounting slots 210 on the battery cover 200 may also be multiple, and each vibration device 100 is disposed in each first mounting slot 210 in a one-to-one correspondence. In this case, the circuit board may determine, based on the received input information, whether one or several vibration devices 100 among the multiple vibration devices 100 need to be turned on for vibration, as well as the vibration modes such as the order and number of each vibration device 100 that needs to be turned on for vibration, and control the multiple vibration devices 100 to vibrate according to the vibration mode matching the input information based on the input information, thereby enabling the user to obtain vibration experiences in different directions and at different levels, and ultimately satisfying the user's more diverse vibration needs.

[0044] There are many ways to distribute the multiple vibration devices 100 on the battery cover 200. For example, the multiple vibration devices 100 can be arranged around the center of the battery cover 200. Of course, they can also be distributed in other ways. This application does not limit the specific distribution method of the vibration devices 100.

[0045] Please refer again Figure 1 In an optional solution, a plurality of vibration devices 100 may be respectively arranged at respective corner positions adjacent to the battery cover 200. For example, when the number of vibration devices 100 is 4, the 4 vibration devices 100 may be respectively arranged at positions adjacent to the four corners of the electronic device. Since the position adjacent to the corner is the edge area of ​​the electronic device, less important components are arranged there. Therefore, the above arrangement position is conducive to avoiding the vibration device 100 from having an adverse vibration effect on the core components adjacent to the center of the electronic device.

[0046] Please refer again Figure 8In an optional solution, the battery cover 200 includes a first symmetry line and a second symmetry line that are perpendicular to each other, at least two of the plurality of vibration devices 100 can be arranged at intervals along the first symmetry line and are respectively arranged at positions adjacent to the two ends of the first symmetry line, and at least two of the plurality of vibration devices 100 can be arranged at intervals along the second symmetry line and are respectively arranged at positions adjacent to the two ends of the second symmetry line. For example, when the number of the vibration devices 100 is 4, two of the vibration devices 100 can be respectively arranged at positions adjacent to the two ends of the first symmetry line, and the remaining two vibration devices 100 can be respectively arranged at positions adjacent to the two ends of the second symmetry line.

[0047] In addition, when the user holds the electronic device, the edge of the electronic device is closer to the user's hand than the center of the electronic device. The above two distribution methods enable each vibration device 100 to be arranged at the edge of the battery cover 200, that is, the edge of the electronic device, so that the user feels a stronger vibration, thereby enhancing the user's experience.

[0048] In the above scheme, the vibration device 100 is likely to loosen or even detach from the battery cover 200 after vibrating for a long time, so that the vibration device 100 hits the battery, circuit board and other devices during the vibration. In order to solve the above problems, in the embodiments disclosed in the present application, the electronic device may further include a blocking structure 300. The blocking structure 300 is arranged on the battery cover 200, and the blocking structure 300 covers the notch of the first mounting groove 210. In this case, the blocking structure 300 can block the vibration device 100 in the first mounting groove 210, separate the vibration device 100, prevent the vibration device 100 from loosening and hitting other devices, and also facilitate the protection of the vibration device 100.

[0049] The surface of the blocking structure 300 facing away from the vibration device 100 is the first surface. When the blocking structure 300 is disposed on the battery cover 200 and the blocking structure 300 covers the notch of the first mounting groove 210, the first surface may be recessed in the notch of the first mounting groove 210 in the direction of the bottom wall of the first mounting groove 210; the first surface may also be coplanar with the notch of the first mounting groove 210; the first surface may also protrude from the notch of the first mounting groove 210 in the direction of the circuit board. In order to prevent the blocking structure 300 from occupying the stacking space inside the electronic device, in the embodiment disclosed in the present application, the first surface is recessed in the notch of the first mounting groove 210 in the direction of the bottom wall of the first mounting groove 210, or the first surface is coplanar with the notch of the first mounting groove 210.

[0050] There are many ways to arrange the blocking structure 300 on the battery cover 200, for example, the edge of the blocking structure 300 can be fixedly connected to the side wall of the first mounting groove 210. However, the internal space of the electronic device is small, and the operable space is also small, making the assembly of the above connection method more difficult.

[0051] In order to reduce the difficulty of assembly, in an optional scheme, the battery cover 200 can be provided with a second mounting groove 220, the notch of the first mounting groove 210 can be opened on the bottom wall of the second mounting groove 220, the bottom wall can include a limiting mounting surface 221 surrounding the notch of the first mounting groove 210, and the blocking structure 300 can be fixed in the second mounting groove 220 and limitedly fit with the limiting mounting surface 221.

[0052] There are many ways to fix the blocking structure 300 to the limiting mounting surface 221. For example, screws and other connecting structures can be used to achieve a fixed connection between the two. Of course, other connecting methods can also be used to achieve a fixed connection between the two. The present application does not limit the specific connection method between the blocking structure 300 and the limiting mounting surface 221.

[0053] In an optional solution, a first adhesive layer may be provided on the position-limiting mounting surface 221, and the blocking structure 300 may be bonded to the position-limiting mounting surface 221 through the first adhesive layer, so that the blocking structure 300 is position-limited and fitted with the position-limiting mounting surface 221. Compared with screw connection and other methods, the bonding connection method will not destroy the integrity of the battery cover 200, and can ensure the structural strength of the battery cover 200 to a certain extent, and prevent the battery cover 200 from cracking when it is hit.

[0054] Similarly, the bottom wall of the first installation groove 210 may also be provided with a second adhesive layer 500 , and the vibration device 100 may be fixed to the bottom wall of the first installation groove 210 via the second adhesive layer 500 .

[0055] Optionally, the first adhesive layer and the second adhesive layer 500 may both be double-sided adhesive tapes.

[0056] In a further optional scheme, the area on the battery cover 200 opposite to the bottom wall of the first mounting groove 210 is a grounding area, the second adhesive layer 500 can be a conductive adhesive layer, and the outer shell of the vibration device 100 can be electrically connected to the grounding area through the second adhesive layer 500. This structure can enable the static electricity generated by the vibration device 100 during operation to be discharged to the grounding area through the second adhesive layer 500, and ultimately avoid the adverse effects of static electricity on the vibration device 100.

[0057] In a further solution, the surface of the blocking structure 300 facing away from the vibration device 100 is the first surface, and the first surface may be flush with the notch of the second mounting groove 220, or the first surface may be recessed in the notch of the second mounting groove 220 toward the bottom wall of the second mounting groove 220. In other words, the blocking structure 300 is also completely disposed inside the battery cover 200 and does not protrude from the inner surface of the battery cover 200, further ensuring that the vibration device 100 and its related components do not occupy the stacking space inside the electronic device, thereby reducing the thickness of the electronic device.

[0058] In order to realize the electrical connection between the vibration device 100 and the circuit board, the vibration device 100 may further include a flexible circuit board 400. The flexible circuit board 400 may be arranged in the first mounting groove 210, but since the flexible circuit board 400 has the ability to deform, when the vibration device 100 is loose and the electronic device is shaken, the vibration device 100 will squeeze the flexible circuit board 400 and shake with the electronic device, which may easily cause abnormal noise, affect the user's experience, and even cause damage to the flexible circuit board 400, the vibration device 100 and the battery cover 200.

[0059] In order to solve the above problems, in the embodiment disclosed in the present application, a notch 230 may be provided at the notch edge of the first mounting groove 210, the first end of the flexible circuit board 400 extends into the first mounting groove 210 through the notch 230, and is electrically connected to the vibration device 100, and the second end of the flexible circuit board 400 is electrically connected to the circuit board. It should be noted that the depth of the notch 230 is less than the depth of the first mounting groove 210, and along the extension direction of the notch 230, the length of the notch 230 is also less than the length of the first mounting groove 210. In this case, the flexible circuit board 400 can be arranged in the notch 230, without occupying the space inside the first mounting groove 210, the outer surface of the vibration device 100 can contact the side wall of the first mounting groove 210, and when the vibration device 100 is loose, when the electronic device shakes, the side wall of the first mounting groove 210 plays a limiting role on the vibration device 100, and the vibration device 100 will not squeeze the flexible circuit board 400, thereby preventing the flexible circuit board 400 from being damaged.

[0060] In addition, during the maintenance of the vibration device 100 , the vibration device 100 can be taken out through the notch 230 , which facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the vibration device 100 , thereby achieving the purpose of one object having multiple uses.

[0061] As described above, the electronic device may include a blocking structure 300. When the blocking structure 300 covers the notch 230, in order to allow the flexible circuit board 400 to extend out of the battery cover 200, a avoidance hole 310 may be provided on the blocking structure 300, and the second end of the flexible circuit board 400 extends out of the battery cover 200 through the avoidance hole 310. In this case, the avoidance hole 310 can play a role of avoidance, thereby improving the assembly performance of the blocking structure 300 and avoiding the influence of the flexible circuit board 400.

[0062] The battery cover 200 can be made of a variety of materials, such as glass, plastic, plate, metal, ceramic, etc. The present application does not limit the specific material of the battery cover 200. In order to enhance the user experience, in the embodiments disclosed in the present application, the battery cover 200 may include a stacked and connected PC (Polycarbonate) layer 240 and a PU (polyurethane) layer 250. The PC layer 240 constitutes the inner surface of the shell, covering and protecting the functional components inside the electronic device. The PU layer 250 constitutes the outer surface of the shell, which is in direct contact with the user. The PU material has a soft texture and a delicate and soft overall touch, which can improve the texture of the mobile phone and thus enhance the user experience.

[0063] The electronic device disclosed in the embodiment of the present application may be a smart phone, a tablet computer, a game console, a learning machine, an electronic reader or a wearable device. Of course, the electronic device may also be other devices, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0064] Based on the electronic device of the above embodiment of the present application, the embodiment of the present application further discloses a control method of the electronic device. The disclosed control method of the electronic device is applicable to the electronic device described above. The disclosed control method includes:

[0065] Step 1: Receive input information.

[0066] Step 2: Determine the type of input information.

[0067] Step 3: Control at least one of the multiple vibration devices 100 to vibrate according to a vibration pattern that matches the type of input information.

[0068] The control method of the electronic device disclosed in the embodiment of the present application can control the vibration modes of multiple vibration devices 100 according to the type of input information received, so that the electronic device generates vibrations in different directions and at different levels, thereby improving the user experience.

[0069] The vibration modes described above may include an alarm mode or a game mode, and of course, may also include other vibration modes, which are not limited in the present application.

[0070] When the vibration mode is the alarm mode, a smaller number of vibration devices 100 (eg, one vibration device 100 ) are controlled to vibrate, which can achieve the purpose of reminding the user while preventing too many vibration devices 100 from vibrating together and making too much noise.

[0071] When the vibration mode is the single-gun sniper mode in the game mode, multiple vibration devices 100 are controlled to vibrate in a preset order. For example, the vibration devices 100 located at two diagonal corners of the electronic device are first controlled to vibrate, and then the vibration devices 100 located at the other two diagonal corners of the electronic device are controlled to vibrate, so that the electronic device produces vibrations of different levels.

[0072] When the vibration device is in the explosion mode in the game mode, all the vibration devices 100 are controlled to vibrate simultaneously, thereby enhancing the vibration intensity of the electronic device and further enhancing the vibration feeling.

[0073] Based on the electronic device of the above embodiment of the present application, the embodiment of the present application further discloses a control device of the electronic device, the disclosed control device of the electronic device is applicable to the electronic device described above, and the disclosed control device includes a receiving module, a judging module and a control module. Among them:

[0074] The receiving module is used to receive input information.

[0075] The judgment module is used to judge the type of input information.

[0076] The control module is used to control at least one of the plurality of vibration devices 100 to vibrate in a pattern matching the type of input information.
