[0002] With the rapid development of electronic technology, electronic devices such as smartphones and tablets are becoming more and more popular and gradually becoming an indispensable part of people's daily lives.

[0003] Therefore, the demand for electronic devices to be more user-friendly is becoming increasingly demanding. However, while some existing electronic devices can currently adjust functions such as mute, vibrate, power on / off, volume adjustment, and music switching via physical buttons, these physical buttons are complex in structure. Current electronic devices suffer from the problem of complex physical buttons for function adjustment and difficulty in assembly. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The embodiments of the present application provide an electronic device that can at least solve the problem that physical buttons for function adjustment in current electronic devices have a complex structure and are difficult to assemble.

[0005] An embodiment of a first aspect of the present application provides an electronic device, comprising: a housing, a bracket, a button body, and a detection component;

[0006] The shell is provided with an accommodating cavity;

[0007] The bracket is arranged in the accommodating cavity and connected to the shell. The bracket is provided with a limiting groove, and an elastic protrusion is provided in the limiting groove;

[0008] At least a portion of the button body is movably disposed in the limiting groove;

[0009] The detection component is arranged in the accommodating cavity, and the detection component includes a sensing member and a sensed member. One of the sensing member and the sensed member is connected to the key body and can move with the key body. The sensing member and the sensed member are arranged at intervals. The sensing member is used to sense the sensed member and determine the key position of the key body. When the sensing member determines that the key body is in the first key position, the electronic device implements a first key function. When the sensing member determines that the key body is in the second key position, the electronic device implements a second key function. The second key function is different from the first key function.

[0010] in:

[0011] When the key body moves from the first key position to the second key position, the elastic protrusion applies damping to the key body.

[0012] An electronic device provided in an embodiment of the present application comprises a housing having a housing containing a housing, the housing containing a bracket, a key body, and a detection assembly. The bracket is used to mount and support the key body, and the key body is movable within a retaining groove to guide the movement of the key body. Furthermore, as the retaining groove moves from a first key position to a second key position, the key body and the elastic protrusion contact and compress each other, enabling the key body to provide a damping feedback to the user when the key is pressed, thereby improving the user experience and effectively preventing accidental touches. Furthermore, the detection assembly includes a sensing element and a sensed element. The sensed element can move synchronously with the key body, and the sensing element can determine the key position of the key body, allowing the electronic device to implement different key functions at different key positions. In this way, the function of the electronic device can be adjusted by simply adjusting the position of the key body in the housing, thereby improving the operational convenience of function adjustment. Furthermore, arranging the housing, key body, and detection assembly within the housing effectively saves internal layout space of the electronic device while also ensuring the consistency of the overall appearance of the electronic device.

[0032] The features and exemplary embodiments of various aspects of the present application will be described in detail below. In the detailed description below, many specific details are set forth in order to provide a comprehensive understanding of the present application. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present application can be implemented without some of these specific details.

Furthermore, terms such as "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0034] The directional words appearing in the following description are all directions shown in the figures, and do not limit the specific structure of the embodiments of this application. In the description of this application, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0035] In order to solve the existing technical problems, the embodiment of the present application provides an electronic device 100. In order to better understand the present application, the following Figures 1 to 4 The electronic device 100 according to the embodiment of the present application is described in detail.

[0036] See also Figures 1 to 4 , Figure 1 is a partially exploded schematic diagram of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application; Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the housing structure of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application; Figure 3 is a partial cross-sectional schematic diagram of the position of a first button of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application; Figure 4 It is a partial cross-sectional schematic diagram of the second button position of the electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown in FIG4 , an electronic device 100 provided in an embodiment of the first aspect of the present application includes: a housing 10 , a bracket 20 , a button body 30 and a detection component 40 .

[0038] The housing 10 is provided with an accommodating cavity 11 .

[0039] The bracket 20 is disposed in the accommodating cavity 11 and connected to the housing 10 . The bracket 20 defines a limiting groove 21 , and an elastic protrusion 22 is disposed in the limiting groove 21 .

[0040] At least a portion of the button body 30 is movably disposed in the limiting slot 21 .

[0041] The detection component 40 is disposed in the accommodating cavity 11. The detection component 40 includes a sensing member 41 and a sensed member 42. One of the sensing member 41 and the sensed member 42 is connected to the key body 30 and can move with the key body 30. The sensing member 41 and the sensed member 42 are spaced apart. The sensing member 41 is used to sense the sensed member 42 and determine the key position of the key body 30. When the sensing member 41 determines that the key body 30 is in the first key position, the electronic device 100 implements a first key function. When the sensing member 41 determines that the key body 30 is in the second key position, the electronic device 100 implements a second key function, which is different from the first key function.

[0042] in:

[0043] When the key body 30 moves from the first key position to the second key position, the elastic protrusion 22 applies damping to the key body 30 .

[0044] In the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device 100 includes a housing 10, and the housing 10 is provided with a receiving cavity 11. The housing 10 can be a structure such as an outer shell or a middle frame of the electronic device 100. The receiving cavity 11 is provided on the surface of the housing 10 for accommodating the button body 30 and the detection assembly 40. For example, the receiving cavity 11 can be provided around the side of the frame of the electronic device 100, or the receiving cavity 11 can be provided on the first side and the second side of the housing, respectively. The first side and the second side can be symmetrically arranged.

[0045] It should be noted that the shape, size and position of the above-mentioned accommodating cavity 11 can be set according to actual needs. For example, the above-mentioned accommodating cavity 11 can be a circular cavity, a diamond cavity or a triangular cavity, etc., which is not limited here.

[0046] In the embodiment of the present application, the bracket 20 is made of plastic or rubber. Normally, in order to extend the service life and improve the durability of the key body 30, the key body 30 is made of metal. In this way, the bracket 20 is made of plastic or rubber, and the key body 30 moves in the bracket 20, which is the friction between the non-metallic material and the metal material, avoiding the mutual friction between metals, thereby improving the service life and feel of the electronic device 100. The bracket 20 is provided with a limiting groove 21, and an elastic protrusion 22 is provided in the limiting groove 21. At least part of the base of the key body 30 moves in the limiting groove 21, and the key body 30 contacts and squeezes the elastic protrusion 22 during the movement.

[0047] Optionally, the bracket 20 is made of polyoxymethylene, which is a friction-resistant and smooth plastic material. When an external force is applied to the bracket 20, the hand feel is better, which can enhance the user experience.

[0048] In the embodiment of the present application, the elastic protrusion 22 can be an integral structure with the limiting groove 21 or a separate structure with the limiting groove 21 .

[0049] In the embodiment of the present application, the key body 30 may be a function key, including but not limited to a power key, a volume key, etc. When the housing 10 is a mid-frame structure, the key body 30 can be understood as a side key. In actual use, it is necessary to apply force to the key body 30 to move the key body 30 so that the key body 30 moves within the accommodating cavity 11 and assumes different key positions.

[0050] It should be noted that the button body 30 can be movably located at the first button position and the second button position, but the button body 30 can also be located at other button positions different from the first button position and the second button position, such as the third button position and the fourth button position, so as to realize more button functions.

[0051] Optionally, when the shell 10 is a middle frame structure, the moving direction of the key body 30 is along the length direction of the middle frame structure or along the width direction of the middle frame structure, wherein the first key position and the second key position are arranged side by side along the length direction of the middle frame structure, or arranged side by side along the width direction of the middle frame structure, thereby saving the accommodating space of the accommodating cavity 11.

[0052] In the embodiment of the present application, the detection component 40 can sense the key position of the key body 30 moving in the accommodating cavity. The detection component 40 includes a sensing member 41 and a sensed member 42. The sensing member 41 is connected to the controller 60, and the sensed member 42 is connected to the key body 30. The sensed member 42 can follow the movement of the key body 30. The sensing member 41 and the sensed member 42 are spaced apart. The sensing member 41 is used to sense the sensed member 42 to determine the key position of the key body 30, so that the electronic device 100 can realize the corresponding key function. Moreover, the sensing member 41 and the sensed member 42 are spaced apart. Other components can be set in the gap between the sensing member 41 and the sensed member 42, which can provide flexibility in the setting of the sensing member 41 and the sensed member 42.

[0053] Exemplarily, the sensing element 41 is a magnetic element, and the corresponding sensing element 42 is at least one of a magnetic induction coil, a magnetoresistive sensor, or a Hall effect sensor. For example, when the magnetic element moves with the button body 30 to a first key position, the magnetic induction coil detects that the magnetic element is in the first key position, and the electronic device 100 implements the first key function. Similarly, when the magnetic element moves with the button body 30 to a second key position, the magnetic induction coil detects that the magnetic element is in the second key position, and the electronic device 100 implements the second key function.

[0054] Exemplarily, the sensing element 41 is a light-emitting diode (LED), and the corresponding sensed element 42 is a photosensor. When the LED moves with the key body 30 to the first key position, the photosensor detects that the LED is in the first pressed position, and the electronic device 100 implements the first key function. Similarly, when the LED moves with the key body 30 to the second key position, the receiver detects that the LED is in the second pressed position, and the electronic device 100 implements the second key function.

[0055] In the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device 100 further includes a controller 60, which is electrically connected to the sensor 41. When the sensor 41 determines that the key body 30 is in the first key position, the controller 60 is configured to execute a first key function. When the sensor 41 determines that the key body 30 is in the second key position, the controller 60 is configured to execute a second key function, which is different from the first key function. The controller 60 receives signals from the sensor 41 and controls the changes to implement the first and second key functions.

[0056] In the embodiment of the present application, the sensing member 41 and the sensed member 42 are spaced apart from each other. Therefore, an isolation component may be provided between the sensing member 41 and the sensed member 42, and the sensing member 41 and the sensed member 42 are provided on opposite sides of the isolation component. The isolation component includes a separator 50, such as a hard metal or non-metal separator plate, to separate the sensing member 41 and the sensed member 42, and the separator 50 may also be used to support the sensing member 41. Alternatively, the isolation component includes a flexible conductive member, such as a flexible circuit board 43, to separate the sensing member 41 and the sensed member 42, the sensing member 41 is connected to the flexible conductive member, and the flexible conductive member may electrically connect the sensing member 41 to the controller 60.

[0057] In an embodiment of the present application, the function of the first button can be one of the following functions: mute function, vibration function, power on / off function, volume adjustment function, music switching control function, etc.; the function of the second button can be one of the following functions: mute function, vibration function, power on / off function, volume adjustment function, music switching control function, etc., and the function of the first button is different from the function of the second button.

[0058] The electronic device 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application comprises a housing 10 with a housing 11 provided therein. The housing 11 is provided with a bracket 20, a key body 30, and a detection assembly 40. The bracket 20 is used to mount and support the key body 30, and the key body 30 is movable within a retaining groove 21 to guide the movement of the key body 30. Furthermore, during movement of the retaining groove 21 from a first key position to a second key position, the key body 30 and the elastic protrusion 22 contact and compress each other, enabling the key body 30 to provide a damping feedback to the user when the key is pressed, thereby improving the user experience and effectively preventing accidental touches. Furthermore, the detection assembly 40 includes a sensing element 41 and a sensed element 42. The sensed element 42 can move synchronously with the key body 30, and the sensing element 41 can determine the key position of the key body 30, allowing the electronic device to implement different key functions at different key positions. In this way, the function of the electronic device 100 can be adjusted by simply adjusting the position of the key body 30 in the housing 11, thereby improving the operational convenience of function adjustment. In addition, arranging the housing 10 , the button body 30 and the detection assembly 40 in the accommodating cavity 11 can effectively save the layout space inside the electronic device 100 while also taking into account the overall consistency of the appearance of the electronic device 100 .

[0059] In some optional embodiments, the first portion of the button body 30 is movably engaged in the limiting groove 21 , and the second portion is located on the side of the bracket 20 facing the shell 10 , and the first portion can move along the limiting groove 21 .

[0060] In these optional embodiments, the bracket 20 is installed in the accommodating cavity 11. On the one hand, the bracket 20 is used to install and support the key body 30, improving the installation stability of the key body 30. On the other hand, the bracket 20 is provided with a limit slot 21, and the key body 30 can move within the limit slot 21 to guide the key body 30 to move between the first key position and the second key position, and plan the movement path of the key body 30 to achieve quick adjustment of the key function. In addition, the key body 30 includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion is structurally matched with the limit slot 21 and is movably engaged in the limit slot 21. The second portion is located on the side of the bracket 20 facing the housing 10, so that by applying an external force to the second portion, the key body 30 is driven to move within the housing 10.

[0061] In an embodiment of the present application, when the shell 10 is a middle frame structure, the opening end of the accommodating cavity 11 is set on the side of the middle frame structure. At this time, the second part can be a plate-like structure to seal the opening end through the second part. Regardless of whether the button body 30 is in the first button position or the second button position, the accommodating cavity 11 is not exposed, thereby preventing water, dust, etc. from entering the accommodating cavity 11 and causing damage to the internal components.

[0062] See also Figure 5 and Figure 6 , Figure 5 1 is a partial structural diagram of the first button position of the electronic device 100 according to an embodiment of the present application; Figure 6 It is a partial structural diagram of the second button position of the electronic device 100 according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0063] Alternatively, as Figure 1 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a layer of the second part away from the first part is provided with a convex body, and the convex body extends out of the housing 10. The convex body protrudes from the surface of the housing 10 to facilitate operation of the key body 30.

[0064] Optionally, the second portion is provided with an identification member on one side of the housing 10. The identification member facilitates the customer to intuitively understand the function of the first button and the function of the second button. For example, the identification member is +, -, O, etc.

[0065] See also Figure 7 and Figure 8 , Figure 7 1 is a schematic diagram of the connection between the key body 30 and the bracket 20 of the housing 10 at the first key position of the electronic device 100 according to an embodiment of the present application; Figure 8 1 is a schematic diagram of the connection between the button body 30 and the bracket 20 at the second button position of the electronic device 100 according to an embodiment of the present application and the housing 10 .

[0066] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the elastic protrusion 22 is connected to the limiting groove 21 and protrudes toward the first part, wherein:

[0067] When the key body 30 moves from the first key position to the second key position, the elastic protrusion 22 applies damping to the first portion.

[0068] In these optional embodiments, the elastic protrusion 22 is disposed within the limiting groove 21 and faces the first portion. By applying an external force to the key body 30, the key body 30 moves from the first key position to the second key position within the limiting groove 21. The first portion of the key body 30 contacts the elastic protrusion 22. As the key body 30 continues to move toward the second key position, the first portion and the elastic protrusion 22 are squeezed against each other until the first portion no longer contacts the elastic protrusion 22 and moves to the second key position. When the key body 30 moves from the first key position to the second key position, the strength of the external force increases from small to large and then from large to small, thereby providing the user with a damping feeling when the key is pressed.

[0069] Exemplarily, when the elastic protrusion 22 and the limiting groove 21 are an integral structure, the elastic protrusion 22 can be an elastic protrusion extending from the groove wall of the limiting groove 21 to the first part. When the button body 30 moves from the first position to the second position, the elastic protrusion elastically deforms when it abuts against the first part, and the first limiting protrusion elastically recovers when the elastic protrusion is not abutting against the first part.

[0070] Exemplarily, when the elastic protrusion 22 and the limiting groove 21 are separate structures, the elastic protrusion 22 can be an elastic strip or an elastic block, wherein the elastic strip or the elastic block can be bonded to the groove wall of the limiting groove 21 facing the first part, and the elastic strip is arranged on the side of the limiting groove 21 facing the first part, and the elastic strip is spaced apart from the limiting groove 21, thereby reserving space for the elastic strip to deform.

[0071] Optionally, there are multiple elastic protrusions 22, including at least one group of elastic protrusions 22. Each group of elastic protrusions 22 includes two elastic protrusions 22, and the two elastic protrusions 22 are respectively disposed on opposite side walls of the limiting groove 21. The two elastic protrusions 22 are disposed opposite each other. This design allows each group of elastic protrusions 22 to be located on both sides of the first portion, ensuring balanced force on the first portion and preventing the key body 30 from shifting within the limiting groove 21.

[0072] In some optional embodiments, the elastic protrusion 22 is an elastic extension member, which is formed by extending from two opposite groove walls of the limiting groove 21, and the elastic extension member divides the limiting groove 21 into a first sub-groove and a second sub-groove;

[0073] The first portion is movably engaged in the first sub-groove, and the elastic extension protrudes toward the first portion, wherein:

[0074] When the key body 30 moves from the first key position to the second key position, the first portion presses the protrusion of the elastic extension member and causes the elastic extension member to move toward the second sub-groove.

[0075] In these optional embodiments, the elastic protrusion 22 is an elastic extension member, which is arranged on two opposite groove walls of the limiting groove 21 and is located on the side facing the first portion. The elastic extension member is spaced apart from the groove wall, and the limiting groove 21 is divided into a first sub-groove and a second sub-groove by the elastic extension member, and the first portion is movably engaged in the first sub-groove. At least part of the base of the elastic extension member protrudes toward the first portion. When the key body 30 moves from the first key position to the second key position, the first portion squeezes the elastic extension member, causing the elastic extension member to move toward the second sub-groove. The first portion does not squeeze the elastic extension member, and the elastic extension member returns to its initial state. It can be understood that the second sub-groove provides a space for the elastic extension member to deform, preventing the elastic protrusion member 22 from being squeezed for a long time and causing plastic deformation, which affects the damping effect.

[0076] In some optional embodiments, the bracket 20 includes N elastic protrusions 22, and N limiting grooves 21 corresponding to the N elastic protrusions 22 are opened in the bracket 20, the button body 30 includes N first parts, and the N first parts are movably connected to the N limiting grooves 21, and different first parts are connected to different limiting grooves 21.

[0077] In these optional embodiments, the elastic protrusion 22, the limiting groove 21, and the first portion are provided in a one-to-one correspondence, and N first portions are provided with corresponding N sensing members 42, thereby achieving adjustment of N key functions within the same accommodating cavity 11. N is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0078] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the electronic device 100 further includes: a partition 50, the partition 50 is connected to the housing 10, and the partition 50 divides the accommodating cavity 11 into a first cavity and a second cavity;

[0079] The button body 30 and the sensed member 42 are disposed in the first cavity, and the sensing member 41 is disposed in the second cavity and connected to the partition 50 .

[0080] In these optional embodiments, the partition 50 divides the accommodating chamber 11 into a first cavity and a second cavity. The sensing element 41 and the sensed element 42 are separated by the partition 50 and thus disposed in different cavities, providing more possibilities for the positional arrangement of the sensing element 41 and the sensed element 42. Furthermore, the connection of the sensing element 41 to the partition 50 ensures the stability and safety of the sensing element 41, and the sensing element 41 is closer to the controller 60, reducing the connection path.

[0081] Optionally, the sensing element 41 is connected to the partition 50 by welding, riveting or bonding.

[0082] Optionally, the partition 50 may be formed by a portion of the base of the housing 10 , or may be a partition plate made of a metal material and fixed inside the housing 10 .

[0083] In some optional embodiments, the sensed member 42 is a magnet, the sensing member 41 includes at least two Hall sensors, and the at least two Hall sensors are spaced apart along the moving direction of the key body 30 .

[0084] In these optional embodiments, the key body 30 is movably positioned at a first key position and a second key position. At least one Hall sensor is arranged relative to the first key position, so that when the magnet moves with the key body 30 to the first key position, the Hall sensor can accurately sense the magnet. It can be understood that there are multiple Hall sensors arranged relative to the first key position, and multiple Hall sensors sense the magnet, providing dynamic characteristic detection capabilities and sensitivity. At least one Hall sensor is arranged relative to the second key position, so that when the magnet moves with the key body 30 to the second key position, the Hall sensor can accurately sense the magnet. It can be understood that there are multiple Hall sensors arranged relative to the second key position, and multiple Hall sensors sense the magnet, providing dynamic characteristic detection capabilities and sensitivity.

[0085] In some optional embodiments, the at least two Hall sensors include a first Hall sensor and a second Hall sensor, and a center line between the first Hall sensor and the second Hall sensor coincides with a center line between the first key position and the second key position.

[0086] In these optional embodiments, the center line between the first Hall sensor and the second Hall sensor coincides with the center line between the first key position and the second key position. It can be understood that the center position of the first Hall sensor is aligned with the center position of the first key position, and the center position of the second Hall sensor is aligned with the center position of the second key position, thereby improving the detection accuracy of different key positions.
