Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electronic devices, in particular to a shell assembly and an electronic device. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the continuous development and popularization of electronic devices, electronic devices have become indispensable social tools and entertainment tools in people's daily life. Taking a mobile phone as an example, the existing mobile phone has powerful functions, and users can watch videos such as variety shows, movies, and TV series through the mobile phone. In the process of watching videos, in order to bring a better watching experience, users generally hold the mobile phone and tilt it to a certain angle for watching. However, since the mobile phone needs to be held, the user cannot free up both hands to handle other things when watching, which brings great inconvenience to the user's use. SUMMARY
[0003] The shell assembly provided by the embodiment of the present application comprises a shell, a rotating shaft, and a support. The shell has a long side and a short side perpendicular to each other, and the shell is further provided with a groove. The rotating shaft and the support are arranged in the groove, and the support is further sleeved on the rotating shaft and can be rotated out of the groove relative to the rotating shaft to support the shell. The axial direction of the rotating shaft intersects the extension direction of the long side and the short side, respectively.
[0004] The electronic device provided by the embodiment of the present application comprises a device main body and the shell assembly described above. The shell is configured to accommodate the device main body, and the side of the shell away from the device main body is provided with the groove.
[0005] The shell assembly provided by the embodiment of the present application is provided with a groove on the shell for accommodating the rotating shaft and the support, and the support is further sleeved on the rotating shaft. Therefore, the support can be rotated out of the groove to support the shell when needed, so as to maintain the inclined state of the shell when it is placed in an inclined manner, and the support can be rotated into the groove for storage when not needed. Meanwhile, the axial direction of the rotating shaft intersects the extension direction of the long side and the short side perpendicular to each other in the shell, so that the rotating shaft can be arranged obliquely relative to the long side and the short side. Compared with the solution that the axial direction of the rotating shaft is parallel to the extension direction of the long side or the short side, the oblique arrangement of the rotating shaft can change the included angle between the support and the shell after the support is rotated out of the groove, so that the shell can have a larger or smaller inclination angle when it is placed in an inclined manner. In this way, the user can select a suitable shell assembly for use according to his own use habit, thereby improving the diversity and adaptability of the shell assembly.

[0019] As used herein, "electronic device" (or simply "terminal") includes, but is not limited to, a device configured to receive / transmit communication signals via a wired line connection (e.g., via a public switched telephone network (PSTN), a digital subscriber line (DSL), a digital cable, a direct cable connection, and / or another data connection / network) and / or via a wireless interface (e.g., for a cellular network, a wireless local area network (WLAN), a digital television network such as a DVB-H network, a satellite network, an AM-FM broadcast transmitter, and / or another communication terminal). A communication terminal configured to communicate through a wireless interface can be referred to as a "wireless communication terminal", a "wireless terminal", or a "mobile terminal". Examples of a mobile terminal include, but are not limited to, a satellite or cellular telephone; a personal communication system (PCS) terminal that can combine a cellular radiotelephone with data processing, facsimile, and data communications capabilities; a PDA that can include a wireless radiotelephone, a pager, Internet / intranet access, a Web browser, a notepad, a calendar, and / or a global positioning system (GPS) receiver; and a conventional laptop and / or palmtop receiver, or other electronic devices including a wireless radiotelephone transceiver. A handset is an electronic device configured with a cellular communication module.
[0020] The inventor has found through long-term research that when watching a video using a handset, the user needs to hold the handset to a certain angle with hands to bring a better watching experience. However, this way occupies the user's hands, and in some special cases, brings great inconvenience to the user's use. For example, when the user watches a video during a meal, the user needs to free a hand to hold the handset, so that the user can only eat with one hand, which is extremely inconvenient. Thus, some technical solutions design an independent handset support to support the handset, so that the handset can be erected to an angle suitable for watching a video without being held by the user. However, the independent support in the above solution has a relatively large volume, is generally only suitable for use at home or in an office, is inconvenient to carry, cannot be used anytime and anywhere, and needs to be purchased by the user separately, which increases the cost of the user using the handset.
[0021] To solve the above technical problems, the shell assembly and the electronic device are provided. The present application will be described in further detail below in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments. It is particularly pointed out that the following embodiments are only used to illustrate the present application, but do not limit the scope of the present application. Similarly, the following embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all embodiments, and all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative labor are within the scope of the present application.
[0022] Reference to an "embodiment" in this application means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment can be included in at least one embodiment of the application. The appearances of the phrase in various places in the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment, nor are they necessarily mutually exclusive of one another. As will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art, embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.
[0023] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 1 is a structural schematic diagram of an electronic device 10 in a state provided by an embodiment of the application, Figure 2 is Figure 1 a structural schematic diagram of the electronic device 10 in another state, Figure 3 is Figure 1 an exploded structural schematic diagram of the device body 100.
[0024] The electronic device 10 provided by the embodiments of the application can be specifically a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a wearable device, or the like. Hereinafter, the mobile phone is taken as an example for illustration. As shown in Figures 1 to 2 , the electronic device 10 can include a device body 100 and a shell assembly 200. The device body 100 can be used to implement functions of the electronic device 10 such as image display, audio playback, and photographing. The shell assembly 200 can be arranged on one side of the device body 100 in the thickness direction Z thereof. In addition to being used to protect the device body 100 to reduce the probability of damage to the device body 100 in the event of a collision or a fall, the shell assembly 200 can also be used to support the device body 100. In this way, when a user needs to place the device body 100 in an inclined state for use, the shell assembly 200 can be used to support the device body 100 placed in the inclined state to maintain the inclined state of the device body 100, thereby improving the convenience of the user in using the device body 100 in special situations.
[0025] Specifically, the device body 100 can be folded to change the form of the device body 100. As shown in Figures 1 to 2 , the device body 100 can include a first body 110 and a second body 120 connected to each other, and the first body 110 and the second body 120 can be folded along an axis Y. For example, the device body 100 can be provided with a rotating shaft mechanism 101 at the axis Y, i.e., the connection position of the first body 110 and the second body 120. Figure 3As shown in FIG. 1, the first body 110 and the second body 120 can be connected with the hinge mechanism 101 respectively and rotate through the hinge mechanism 101, so that the first body 110 and the second body 120 can be folded along the axis Y. The axis Y can be a symmetrical folding line of the device body 100, that is, the first body 110 and the second body 120 can be symmetrically arranged about the axis Y. Meanwhile, the hinge mechanism 101 can be composed of components such as hinges, hinges, gears, etc., and the specific structure can refer to the folding screen mobile phone in the prior art, which will not be described here.
[0026] Optionally, the axis Y can also not be limited to a symmetrical folding line, that is, the first body 110 and the second body 120 can be asymmetrically arranged, and the specific position of the axis Y can be adjusted according to design requirements. Meanwhile, the axis Y can be placed longitudinally as shown, so that the device body 100 can be folded left and right based on the axis Y, or it can be placed horizontally, so that the device body 100 can be folded up and down based on the axis Y. In addition, the device body 100 can also not be limited to a foldable mobile phone, but also to a non-foldable tablet mobile phone. Figure 2
[0027] The device body 100 can also be integrated with various components required to realize the functions of the electronic device 10 to meet the user's use requirements. As shown in FIG. 1, the device body 100 can also include a display screen 130, a middle frame 140, and a back cover 150. The display screen 130 can be covered on one side of the middle frame 140, and the back cover 150 can be covered on the other opposite side of the middle frame 140, and the three can together enclose a containing space for installing components such as cameras, speakers, microphones, sensors, and batteries, so that the device body 100 can realize the corresponding functions. Figure 3
[0028] The display screen 130 can be symmetrically arranged about the axis Y, which can be divided into two symmetrical regions by the axis Y, one region can be used to compose the first body 110, and the other region can be used to compose the second body 120. Correspondingly, the middle frame 140 and the back cover 150 can also be symmetrically arranged about the axis Y and divided into two symmetrical regions by the axis Y to together compose the first body 110 and the second body 120 with the display screen 130. The display screen 130 can use an OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) screen for image display to meet the foldable performance required by the display screen 130. The materials of the middle frame 140 and the back cover 150 can be glass, metal, hard plastic, and ceramic, etc., and the outer surfaces of the middle frame 140 and the back cover 150 away from the containing space can also be coated with functional materials for wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and scratch resistance.
[0029] Please refer to FIG. 1 Figures 1 to 2 Referring to Figures 4 to 6 , Figure 4 is Figure 1 an exploded view of the shell assembly 200, Figure 5 is Figure 1 a partial cross-sectional view of the shell assembly 200 along V-V, Figure 6 is Figure 2 a partial cross-sectional view of the shell assembly 200 along VI- VI.
[0030] The shell assembly 200 can be disposed on one side of the device body 100 in the thickness direction Z, which can be used to protect the device body 100 and can support the device body 100 to maintain the inclined state of the device body 100 when the user needs to place the device body 100 in an inclined state. As shown in Figures 1 to 2 and Figure 4 , the shell assembly 200 can include a shell 210, a hinge 220, and a support 230. The shell 210 can be disposed on the side of the back cover 150 away from the display screen 130, that is, on one side of the device body 100 in the thickness direction Z, which can accommodate the device body 100 to protect the device body 100. The hinge 220 can be connected with the shell 210 and located on the side of the shell 210 away from the back cover 150. The support 230 can be rotationally connected with the hinge 220 and can rotate relative to the shell 210 through the hinge 220. In this way, when the user needs to place the electronic device 10 in an inclined state for use, the shell 210 can be supported on the side of the shell 210 away from the back cover 150 by rotating the support 230 to maintain the inclined state of the shell 210, thereby achieving the purpose of supporting the device body 100 and improving the convenience of the user in using the device body 100 in special circumstances. Alternatively, the shell 210 can also be the back cover 150, that is, the device body 100 can directly use the shell 210 as the back cover 150, and the design of the back cover 150 can be cancelled.
[0031] The shell 210 can be disposed on the side of the back cover 150 away from the display screen 130, which can be used to protect the device body 100 to reduce the probability of damage to the device body 100 in the event of a collision or a fall. For example, the shell 210 can be made of flexible materials such as silicone, rubber, or soft plastic, so that the shell 210 can play a buffering role when the device body 100 collides or falls, thereby achieving the purpose of protecting the device body 100. The shell 210 can be disposed on only one side of the first body 110 in the thickness direction Z and accommodate the first body 110 to protect the first body 110. In this way, the thickness and weight of the entire electronic device 10 after folding the first body 110 and the second body 120 can be reduced. As shown in Figures 4 to 6As shown, the housing 210 may have a receiving groove 201 adapted to the first main body 110 on the side opposite to the pivot 220. This receiving groove 201 can be used to accommodate the first main body 110, allowing the housing 210 to wrap around the first main body 110 to protect it without affecting the display screen 130's image display. Simultaneously, the depth of the receiving groove 201 may be slightly greater than the thickness of the first main body 110, allowing a portion of the housing 210 to protrude from the side of the display screen 130 opposite to the back cover 150, thereby reducing the probability of the display screen 130 being directly impacted during collisions or drops.
[0032] Optionally, there can be two housings 210, one to protect the first main body 110 and the other to protect the second main body 120, thereby reducing the probability of damage to the main body 100 in the event of a collision or drop. Simultaneously, the housings 210 can also be made of a combination of flexible and rigid materials to provide cushioning while increasing the structural strength of the housings 210. For example, the inner structure of the housing 210 can be made of rigid materials such as glass, hard plastic, or ceramic, while the outer structure of the housing 210 can be made of flexible materials such as silicone, rubber, and soft plastic.
[0033] like Figure 4 As shown, the housing 210 can be rectangular in shape, having two sets of perpendicular long sides 211 and short sides 212, connected by an arc. The housing 210 can also have an adjacent functional area 213 (shown in the dashed box) and a non-functional area 214. The functional area 213 can be positioned opposite the charging coil on the device body 100, while the non-functional area 214 can surround the functional area 213 and be used to mount the hinge 220 and the bracket 230. This avoids interfering with the wireless charging function of the device body 100 by placing the hinge 220 and bracket 230 within the functional area 213. Optionally, in addition to wireless charging, the functional area 213 can also be used to implement the NFC function of the device body 100. In addition to being used to install the pivot 220 and bracket 230, the non-functional area 214 can also be used to install the light-transmitting holes required by the camera in the main body of the device 100.
[0034] Furthermore, since the housing 210 can be made of a flexible material, to avoid insufficient connection strength between the housing 210 and the rotating shaft 220, a base 215 embedded in the housing 210 can also be provided on the side of the housing 210 away from the receiving groove 201. For example... Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the base 215 can be located in the non-functional area 214, and the base 215 can be made of a metal material, which can be used to connect with the rotating shaft 220 to improve the connection strength between the shell 210 and the rotating shaft 220. For example, the side of the base 215 away from the accommodating groove 201 can also be provided with a recess 2151, and the shape of the recess 2151 can be matched with the bracket 230, which can be used to accommodate the rotating shaft 220 and the bracket 230. In this way, when the user does not need to use the bracket 230 to support the device body 100, the bracket 230 can be rotated into the recess 2151 for storage, so as to facilitate the user to hold or carry the electronic device 10.
[0035] Further, in order to facilitate the user to take out the bracket 230 in the recess 2151, the inner side wall of the recess 2151 can also be provided with a gap 2152 communicating outside the recess 2151. As shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the gap 2152 can penetrate the base 215 in the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction Z, which can provide the user with the required space to lift the bracket 230. In this way, when the user needs to use the bracket 230, the bracket 230 can be subjected to a force through the gap 2152, so that the bracket 230 is rotated out of the recess 2151. At the same time, in order to limit the bracket 230 rotated out of the recess 2151, the inner side wall of the base 215 opposite to the gap 2152 can also be provided with a stop portion 2153, which can abut against the bracket 230 rotated out of the recess 2151 to limit the rotation position of the bracket 230, so as to avoid that the bracket 230 rotates too large to affect the support stability of the device body 100.
[0036] Alternatively, the base 215 can also be connected with the shell 210 in a manner such as bonding, welding and clamping, and the material of the base 215 can also not be limited to metal, but can also be made of other rigid materials with high structural strength, as long as it can improve the connection strength between the shell 210 and the rotating shaft 220, which is not limited in the present embodiment.
[0037] Please refer to Figures 7 to 10 , Figure 7 is Figure 1 the rear view of the shell assembly 200 in FIG. 2, Figure 8 is Figure 2 the side view of the shell assembly 200 in FIG. 2, Figure 9 is Figure 1 another rear view of the shell assembly 200 in FIG. 2, Figure 10 is Figure 2 another side view of the shell assembly 200 in FIG. 2.
[0038] The rotating shaft 220 can be connected with the base 215 and the bracket 230 respectively, which can be used to realize the rotating connection of the base 215 and the bracket 230. As shown inFigures 7 to 9 As shown, the rotating shaft 220 can be arranged in the groove 2151, and opposite ends of the rotating shaft 220 can be arranged on two opposite inner side walls in the groove 2151 respectively. The axial direction of the rotating shaft 220 can intersect the extending direction of the long side 211 and the short side 212 respectively, so that the rotating shaft 220 can be arranged obliquely relative to the long side 211 and the short side 212, to change the included angle β formed between the support 230 and the shell 210 after the support 230 is rotated out of the groove 2151. Compared with the case that the axial direction of the rotating shaft 220 is parallel to the extending direction of the long side 211 or the short side 212, the shell 210 can obtain a larger or smaller inclination angle, so that the user can select a suitable shell assembly 200 to be matched with the equipment main body 100 for use according to the user's own use habit, and the selectability and adaptability of the shell assembly 200 are improved.
[0039] As shown in Figures 7 to 8 , when the included angle α formed between the axial direction of the rotating shaft 220 and the extending direction of the adjacent short side 212 in the clockwise direction is greater than 90°, the included angle β formed between the support 230 and the long side 211 after the support 230 is rotated out of the groove 2151 can also be greater than 90°. Compared with the case that the axial direction of the rotating shaft 220 is parallel to the extending direction of the long side 211, so that the included angle β formed between the support 230 and the long side 211 after the support 230 is rotated out of the groove 2151 is 90°, the inclination angle θ formed between the shell 210 and the table T can be reduced. Accordingly, as shown in Figures 9 to 10 , when the included angle α formed between the axial direction of the rotating shaft 220 and the extending direction of the adjacent short side 212 in the clockwise direction is less than 90°, the included angle β formed between the support 230 and the long side 211 after the support 230 is rotated out of the groove 2151 can also be less than 90°. Compared with the case that the axial direction of the rotating shaft 220 is parallel to the extending direction of the long side 211, so that the included angle β formed between the support 230 and the long side 211 after the support 230 is rotated out of the groove 2151 is 90°, the inclination angle θ formed between the shell 210 and the table T can be increased. In this way, the user can select a suitable shell assembly 200 to be matched with the equipment main body 100 for use according to the user's own use habit, and the selectability and adaptability of the shell assembly 200 are improved. The aforementioned table T can refer to the outer surface of an object on which the electronic device 10 is placed, such as a desktop and a ground, and the present embodiment does not limit the same.
[0040] Please refer to Figure 8 for more details. Figures 11 to 12 , Figure 11 is Figure 2 another structural schematic view of the shell assembly 200, Figure 12 is Figure 11 still another structural schematic view of the shell assembly 200.
[0041] The support 230 can be sleeved on the rotating shaft 220, and the support 230 can rotate relative to the rotating shaft 220, so that the support 230 can be screwed into or out of the groove 2151. As shown in Figure 8 The support 230 can include a connecting portion 231 and a supporting portion 232. The connecting portion 231 can be sleeved on the rotating shaft 220, and the supporting portion 232 can be connected to the end of the connecting portion 231 away from the rotating shaft 220, which can be used to contact the table top to support the shell 210. At the same time, the end of the supporting portion 232 away from the connecting portion 231 can also be provided with an inclined surface 233, and the inclined surface 233 can be arranged parallel to the table top, which can be the stress surface of the support 230, that is, the surface of the support 230 in contact with the table top. In this way, the contact area between the supporting portion 232 and the table top can be increased, and the support stability of the support 230 can be improved. Alternatively, the design of the inclined surface 233 can also be cancelled.
[0042] As shown in Figures 11 to 12 In order to realize the adjustable inclination angle of the shell 210 and improve the convenience of the user using the shell 210, the supporting portion 232 can also have a first portion 2321 and a second portion 2322 arranged symmetrically. The end of the first portion 2321 and the second portion 2322 away from the connecting portion 231 can be provided with an inclined surface 233, and the first portion 2321 and the second portion 2322 can be rotatably connected to the connecting portion 231. For example, the supporting portion 232 can be provided with a first pin 2301 penetrating the first portion 2321 and the connecting portion 231, and a second pin 2302 penetrating the second portion 2322 and the connecting portion 231. At the same time, any one of the first portion 2321 and the second portion 2322 can rotate relative to the connecting portion 231 away from the other, so that the first portion 2321 and the second portion 2322 can be unfolded relative to the connecting portion 231 to form a "T" shape structure with the connecting portion 231 to support the shell 210. In addition, in order to avoid the unrestricted rotation of the first portion 2321 and the second portion 2322, corresponding magnetic pieces can be arranged on the first portion 2321 and the second portion 2322, so that the first portion 2321 and the second portion 2322 can be limited by magnetic force before being unfolded. In this way, when the user uses the support 230 to support the device main body 100, the angle value of the inclination angle θ of the shell 210 can be changed by selecting to unfold the first portion 2321 and the second portion 2322, so as to realize the adjustable inclination angle of the shell 210.
[0043] In order to avoid the unrestricted rotation of the support 230 after being screwed out of the groove 2151, which affects the support of the shell 210 by the support 230, the shell assembly 200 can also be provided with a stop piece 240. As shown in Figures 4 to 6As shown, the stopper 240 can be sleeved on the rotating shaft 220, and one end of the stopper 240 can be connected with the base 215 and the other end can be connected with the connecting part 231. The stopper 240 can be a torsion spring, and when the support 230 is screwed into the groove 2151, the stopper 240 can be elastically deformed to provide a deformation force to limit the rotation of the support 230, so that the support 230 can be retained outside the groove 2151. At the same time, the deformation force provided by the stopper 240 can also make the connecting part 231 abut against the stopper 2153 on the base 215, that is, the stopper 240 can be in a deformed state at all times to improve the stability of the support 230.
[0044] Correspondingly, in order to be able to accommodate the support 230 in the groove 2151, the shell assembly 200 can also be provided with a first matching part 250 and a second matching part 260. As shown, Figures 4 to 6 The first matching part 250 can be arranged in the groove 2151 and can be fixedly connected with the base 215. The second matching part 260 can be arranged on the support part 232, and when the support 230 is located in the groove 2151, the first matching part 250 and the second matching part 260 can also be oppositely arranged. The first matching part 250 and the second matching part 260 can both be magnetic parts, and the two can generate a magnetic force that overcomes the deformation force of the stopper 240, so that the support 230 can be retained in the groove 2151 under the action of the magnetic force. Of course, if the user needs to use the support 230, the support 230 can be lifted through the gap 2152, so that the distance between the first matching part 250 and the second matching part 260 increases, thereby reducing the magnetic force generated between the first matching part 250 and the second matching part 260, and the deformation force generated by the stopper 240 drives the support 230 to rotate out of the groove 2151.
[0045] Alternatively, only one of the first matching part 250 and the second matching part 260 can be a magnetic part, and the other can be made of a material that can be attracted by the magnetic part. At the same time, in order to be able to hide the first matching part 250 and the second matching part 260, the side of the first matching part 250 and the second matching part 260 exposed to the outside can also be provided with a corresponding sticker. Alternatively, the first matching part 250 and the second matching part 260 can be directly embedded in the base 215 and the support 230. Alternatively, in addition to limiting the rotation of the support 230 by arranging the stopper 240, the shell assembly 200 can also limit the rotation of the support 230 by arranging a damping part. For example, the damping part can be a rubber sleeve made of flexible materials such as silicone, rubber, and soft plastic, which can be sleeved on the rotating shaft 220, so that the support 230 can generate a damping force with the damping part when rotating relative to the rotating shaft 220 to limit the rotation of the support 230.
[0046] The shell assembly 200 provided by the embodiments of the present application is provided with a groove 2151 on the shell 210 for accommodating the rotating shaft 220 and the support 230, and the support 230 is further sleeved on the rotating shaft 220, so that the support 230 can be rotated out of the groove 2151 to support the shell 210 when it is needed to be used, to maintain the inclined state of the shell 210 when it is placed in an inclined manner, and the support 230 can be rotated into the groove 2151 to be accommodated when it is not needed to be used. Meanwhile, the axial direction of the rotating shaft 220 is arranged to be perpendicular to the extending direction of the long side 211 and the short side 212 of the shell 210, respectively, so that the rotating shaft 220 can be arranged obliquely relative to the long side 211 and the short side 212. Compared with the solution that the axial direction of the rotating shaft 220 is parallel to the extending direction of the long side 211 or the short side 212, the oblique arrangement of the rotating shaft 220 can change the included angle between the support 230 and the shell 210 after the support 230 is rotated out of the groove 2151, so that the shell 210 can have a larger or smaller inclined angle when it is placed in an inclined manner. In this way, the user can select a suitable shell assembly 200 according to the use habit of the user, and the diversity and adaptability of the shell assembly 200 can be improved.
[0047] The above only describes some embodiments of the present application, and does not limit the protection scope of the present application, and any equivalent device or equivalent process transformation using the content of the specification and drawings of the present application, or direct or indirect application in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
