[0028] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0029] With the development of communication technology, mobile terminals such as mobile phones and tablets have become indispensable tools for people, and styluses, as accessories for electronic devices, are widely used. In some technologies, styluses can be charged via an external power adapter; however, they cannot be used while charging. Other styluses can be charged via the electronic device itself, but similarly, both the use of the electronic device and the use of the stylus are limited while charging.

[0030] Based on this, the inventors of this application have proposed electronic device components according to various embodiments of this application, so that the stylus can be used as a stand for the electronic device, and can be charged while being used as a stand. The various embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides an electronic device component 1, including an electronic device 10 and a stylus 60. Please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 2The electronic device 10 includes a housing 20, a power supply unit 50, and a battery 40. The housing 20 serves as the outer shell of the electronic device 10. The battery 40 is disposed inside the housing 20. The power supply unit 50 is disposed inside or on the housing 20 and is electrically connected to the battery 40.

[0032] Please continue reading. Figure 1 The electronic device 100 may also include a display screen 30, a motherboard (not shown), a front-facing camera 31, etc. The motherboard is housed within the casing 20, and the front-facing camera 31 is located on one side of the display screen 30 of the electronic device 10. The front-facing camera 31, the display screen 30, and the battery 40 can all be electrically connected to the motherboard. The electronic device 10 provided in this embodiment is described using a mobile phone as an example.

[0033] Please see Figure 3 The housing 20 includes a middle frame 111, a front shell 112, and a rear cover 113. The middle frame 111 includes a middle plate 1111 and a side frame 1112. The side frame 1112 surrounds the edge of the middle plate 1111 and protrudes from the middle plate 1111. The side frame 1112 protrudes from the middle plate 1111 on both opposite sides. The front shell 112 and the housing 113 are respectively assembled on opposite sides of the middle plate 1111, and both the front shell 112 and the rear cover 113 are assembled and fixed to the side frame 1112. The rear cover 113, the middle frame 111, and the front shell 112 together form a receiving cavity. Various components such as a motherboard and a processor can be installed in the receiving cavity. The rear cover 113 can have a camera mounting hole 1131 for installing a rear camera. The battery 40 is disposed in the receiving cavity and can be located between the middle plate 1111 and the rear cover 113. The power supply unit 50 can be located on the back cover 113 of the housing 20, or it can be located directly between the back cover 113 and the middle plate 1111. The power supply unit 50 can be used to charge the stylus 60.

[0034] In some embodiments, the back cover 113 may be configured as a generally rectangular or oblong structure, and the back cover 113 may have a length direction X and a width direction Y. The length direction X and width direction Y of the back cover 113 may be consistent with the length direction and width direction of the electronic device 10. In other embodiments, the electronic device 10 and the back cover 113 may also be configured with other structures, which are not limited here.

[0035] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 3The display screen 20 is mounted on the front housing 112. The display screen 20 can be an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) screen for displaying information. The LCD screen can be a TFT (Thin Film Transistor) screen, an IPS (In-Plane Switching) screen, or an SLCD (Splice Liquid Crystal Display) screen. In other embodiments, the display screen 120 can be an OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) screen for displaying information. The OLED screen can be an AMOLED (Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode) screen, a Super AMOLED (Super Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode) screen, or a Super AMOLED Plus (Super Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode Plus) screen; further details will not be provided here. The display screen can be a touch display screen, capable of performing corresponding functions under the pressure of the stylus 60.

[0036] like Figure 4 As shown, to facilitate the housing of the stylus 60, the housing 20 may also be provided with a socket 115. Specifically, the socket 115 is formed on the side frame 1112 of the middle frame 111, and the socket 115 penetrates the side frame 1112 and communicates with the receiving cavity. The socket 115 can be located at any position on the side frame 1112. Preferably, the side frame 1112 may include a first side frame and a second side frame arranged along the length direction, and a third side frame and a fourth side frame arranged along the width direction. The first side frame and the second side frame are opposite to each other, the third side frame and the fourth side frame are opposite to each other, and the first side frame and the second side frame are connected between the third side frame and the fourth side frame. The socket 115 can be located at any position on the side frame 1112 adjacent to other side frames 1112. For example, the socket 115 is located on the third side frame adjacent to the first side frame or the second side frame, or the socket 115 is located on the fourth side frame adjacent to the first side frame or the second side frame. This arrangement facilitates the arrangement of other components within the receiving cavity and prevents mutual interference.

[0037] The axial direction of the socket 115 can be approximately parallel to the length direction X of the electronic device 10, so that the socket 115 can accommodate longer objects. Of course, it is understood that in some other embodiments, the socket 115 may also be arranged along the width direction of the electronic device 10.

[0038] Of course, it is understandable that in some other embodiments, the electronic device 10 may not have a jack 115, but may use other methods to accommodate the stylus 60, such as by magnetically attaching the stylus 60 to the housing 20 of the electronic device 10, or by accommodating it in a protective case of the electronic device 10.

[0039] The stylus 60 can be used to perform operations such as writing, drawing, and touch on the display screen 30 of the electronic device 10. In this embodiment, the stylus 60 is not only used to operate the electronic device 10, but also serves as a stand for the electronic device 10, supporting it and allowing it to maintain a predetermined tilt angle for user convenience. The stylus 60 is detachably connected to the electronic device 10. When touch operation is required, the stylus 60 can be separated from the electronic device 10; when support is needed, the stylus 60 can be connected to the electronic device 10.

[0040] Please refer to it again. Figure 1 The stylus 60 includes a shaft 61 and a tip 62, wherein the tip 62 is located at one end of the shaft 61 and can be configured into a conical, spiked, or other structure. The tip 62 is used to contact the display screen when the user performs touch operations. In one embodiment, the tip 62 can be made of a flexible material or a material with low hardness, such as flexible plastic. In one embodiment, the stylus 60 can be a capacitive stylus, and the tip 62 can be made of materials such as conductive sponge or conductive soft rubber. This can better protect the display screen. The end of the shaft 61 away from the tip 62 can be held by the user when using the stylus 60. In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the stylus 60 may further include a screen brush 63, which can be disposed at the end of the shaft 61 away from the tip 62. The screen brush 63 can be used to wipe the display screen. In some other embodiments, the screen brush 63 may not be provided. For example, the end of the shaft 61 away from the tip 62 may be configured to mate with the inlet of a socket, so that the socket can be closed when the stylus 60 is received in the socket. In other embodiments, the end of the shaft 61 away from the tip 62 may also be configured with an anti-slip structure, which is not limited here.

[0041] Please refer to the following: Figure 2 and Figure 5The stylus 60 also includes a power receiving unit 66 and a battery 65, both of which are located on the stem 61, and the power receiving unit 66 is electrically connected to the battery 65. The power receiving unit 66 is used to couple with the power supply unit 50 when the stylus 60 supports the electronic device 10, and to receive electrical energy transmitted by the power supply unit 50 and store it in the battery 65.

[0042] Please refer to it again. Figure 3 To facilitate a detachable connection between the stylus 60 and the electronic device 10, a fixing part 114 is provided on the back cover 113 of the electronic device 10. The fixing part 114 is used to connect and fix the stylus 60. In one embodiment, the fixing part 114 includes one or more fixing holes 1141 provided in the back cover 113. The size of the fixing holes 1141 can be adapted to the tip 62 of the stylus 60. The tip 62 can be detachably inserted into a fixing hole 1141, thereby connecting with the electronic device 10. The back cover 113 has an outer surface 1131 and an inner surface 1132 facing away from each other. The outer surface 1131 serves as part of the external appearance of the electronic device 10, and the inner surface 1132 is located inside the housing 20. The fixing holes 1141 can penetrate both the outer surface 1131 and the inner surface 1132 of the back cover 113, or the fixing holes 1141 can only penetrate the outer surface 1131 of the back cover 113 and not penetrate the inner surface 1132.

[0043] See Figure 6 When a user places the electronic device 10 on a surface S, the end of the stylus 60's shaft 61 furthest from the tip 62 can be supported on the surface S, causing the electronic device 10 to form an angle of less than 90° relative to the surface S. The stylus 60 then functions as a support for the electronic device 10. The surface S can be, for example, a desktop, the ground, or the surface of another object; there is no limitation on this. For different usage environments, the user can choose to insert the tip 62 of the stylus 60 into different fixing holes 1141 to adjust the tilt angle of the electronic device 10.

[0044] When there are multiple fixing holes 1141, they can be arranged in any configuration. To ensure that the electronic device 10 maintains a stable support state after the stylus tip 62 is inserted into the stylus 60, the fixing holes 1141 can be located on the center line of the back cover 113, so that the electronic device 10 can be in a more stable state when the stylus 60 supports it. In one embodiment, the multiple fixing holes 1141 are arranged side by side along the length direction X of the back cover 113, or the multiple fixing holes 1141 are arranged side by side along the width direction Y of the back cover 113. Or, as... Figure 7As shown, among the multiple fixing holes 1141, some of the fixing holes 1141 can be arranged side by side along the length direction X of the back cover 113, and the remaining fixing holes 1141 can be arranged side by side along the width direction Y of the back cover 113. In this way, the user can place the electronic device 10 horizontally or vertically to meet the support requirements under different usage conditions.

[0045] When the stylus 60 supports the electronic device 10, the power supply unit 50 and the power receiving unit 66 can be in a coupled state. It should be noted that the coupling of the power supply unit 50 and the power receiving unit 66 means that the power supply unit 50 has the ability to charge the power receiving unit 66, that is, the battery 40 can charge the storage battery 65 through the power supply unit 50 and the power receiving unit 66. However, this is not limited to the battery 40 immediately charging the storage battery 65 through the power supply unit 50 and the power receiving unit 66; it is also possible that the battery 40 charges the storage battery 65 through the power supply unit 50 and the power receiving unit 66 after receiving a charging command from the user.

[0046] The power supply unit 50 and the power receiving unit 66 can be connected by a wire or coupled to each other by wireless charging, and there is no limitation on this.

[0047] To better couple the power supply unit 50 and the power receiving unit 66, the power receiving unit 66 can be located in the pen tip 62. Thus, when the pen tip 62 is inserted into the fixing hole 1141, the power supply unit 50 and the power receiving unit 66 are coupled together. The pen tip 62 can be made of metal and directly serve as the power receiving unit 66; alternatively, a portion of the pen tip 62 can be made of metal to form a contact structure, serving as the power receiving unit 66.

[0048] For example: in one implementation, such as Figure 8As shown, the back cover 113 is provided with an electrical contact 51, which can be located within the fixing hole 1141. The power supply unit 50 can be a circuit board disposed on the inner surface 1132 of the back cover 113, and the battery 40 is electrically connected to the circuit on the circuit board. The electrical contact 51 is electrically connected to the power supply unit 50. When the pen tip 62 is inserted into a fixing hole 1141, the electrical contact 51 contacts the receiving part 66, making them electrically connected, thereby making the power supply unit 50 and the receiving part 66 conductive. At this time, the battery 40 in the electronic device 10 can charge the battery 65 in the stylus 60. There can be one or more electrical contacts 51, and the form of the electrical contacts 51 is not limited. In order to prevent the user from accidentally touching the electrical contact 51 when using the electronic device 10, the electrical contact 51 can be completely located within the fixing hole 1141, that is, the electrical contact 51 does not protrude from the fixing hole 1141. Furthermore, the back cover 113 includes sidewalls and a bottom wall forming the fixing hole 1141. The electrical contact 51 can be disposed on the bottom wall. When the pen tip 62 is inserted into the fixing hole 1141, the pen tip 62 contacts the electrical contact 51, and the power supply unit 50 and the power receiving unit 66 are connected. At this time, since the stylus 60 supports the electronic device 10, the weight of the electronic device 10 acts on the stylus 60, ensuring that the pen tip 62 and the electrical contact 51 remain in contact at all times, and the charging process can proceed stably.

[0049] In some embodiments, an electrical contact 51 may be provided in each or part of the mounting holes 1141, thus providing users with more charging options. In this embodiment, an electrical contact 51 is provided in only one mounting hole 1141. This arrangement simplifies the structure of the back cover 113 and reduces its manufacturing cost.

[0050] In another embodiment, such as Figure 9 As shown, the power supply unit 50 and the power receiving unit 66 can be coupled to each other via wireless charging. Specifically, the power supply unit 50 may include a wireless power supply coil 52, which can be disposed between the back cover 113 and the battery 40, for example, attached to the inner surface 1132 of the back cover 113, and electrically connected to the battery 40. The wireless power supply coil 52 can be arranged approximately coaxially with the axis of the fixing hole 1141, which helps to achieve maximum coupling efficiency between the power supply unit 50 and the power receiving unit 66. In another embodiment, as... Figure 10 As shown, the back cover 113 can be made of a non-metallic material, such as plastic. The wireless power supply coil 52 can also be embedded within the back cover 113, thus reducing the thickness dimension of the electronic device 10. In another embodiment, as... Figure 11 As shown, a receiving groove 1133 can also be provided on the surface of the back cover 113 facing the battery 40. The wireless power supply coil 52 can be placed in the receiving groove 1133, which can also reduce the size of the electronic device 10 in the thickness direction.

[0051] At this time, refer to Figure 12 The power receiving unit 66 may include a wireless power receiving coil 661 that cooperates with the wireless power supply coil 52, and the wireless power receiving coil 661 is electrically connected to the battery 65. The wireless power receiving coil 661 may be located at the pen tip 62, and the perpendicular line of the plane containing the wireless power receiving coil 661 may be parallel to the extension direction of the rod 61. When the stylus 60 is inserted into the fixing hole 1141, the plane containing the wireless power receiving coil 661 and the plane containing the first wireless charging coil may be approximately parallel to each other, or the plane containing the wireless power receiving coil 661 and the plane containing the first wireless charging coil may maintain a relatively small tilt angle, for example, 0-30°, to improve charging efficiency.

[0052] It is understandable that the wireless receiving coil 661 can also be set on the rod 61, for example, in the area of ​​the rod 61 adjacent to the pen tip 62, so that the wireless receiving coil 661 and the wireless power supply coil 52 can be closer together to improve charging efficiency.

[0053] The electronic device assembly 1 provided in the above embodiment allows the stylus 60 to be used as a stand for the electronic device 10. When used as a stand, the power receiving part 66 of the stylus 60 can be coupled to the power supply part 50 of the electronic device 10, allowing the electronic device 10 to charge the stylus 60. This allows the stylus 60 to function as a stand for the electronic device 10 while being charged, greatly facilitating the use of the electronic device 10. Furthermore, the small size and portability of the stylus 60 enhance the overall convenience of the electronic device assembly 1.

[0054] In another implementation, please refer to [the relevant documentation]. Figure 13 and Figure 14 The stylus 60 includes a rod 61 and a support 64. The rod 61 is detachably attached to the back cover 113. The support 64 is rotatably mounted on the rod 61 and can selectively be in a first position or a second position. When the support 64 is in the first position, such as... Figure 13 As shown, the angle between the support 64 and the rod 61 is approximately 0°, at which point the support 64 is in a non-supported state. When the support 64 is in the second position, as... Figure 14 As shown, the angle between the support part 64 and the rod 61 is α. At this time, the support part 64 is in a supported state, and the stylus 60 can be used as a stand for the electronic device 10. α can be, for example, 30-60°, and is not limited in this embodiment. When it is necessary to support the electronic device 10, refer to... Figure 15The rod 61 is attached to the outer surface 1131 of the rear cover 113. The support part 64 is rotated so that there is a certain angle between the support part 64 and the rod 61, and the support part 64 is supported on the placement surface. The support part 64 can be configured to have a certain degree of damping between it and the rod 61, allowing the user to adjust the rotation angle between them arbitrarily. In one embodiment, one end of the support part 64 is rotatably connected to the housing via a pivot 68, and the other end is used to support the placement surface. The axis of the pivot 68 can be approximately perpendicular to the extension direction of the rod 61.

[0055] To limit the rotation angle between the support portion 64 and the rod 61, the stylus 60 may further include a limiting portion 612. The limiting portion 612 is disposed on the rod 61 and adjacent to the pivot 68. The limiting portion 612 is used to limit the maximum rotation angle of the support portion 64 relative to the rod 61. When the support portion 64 rotates to the maximum rotation angle, the support portion 64 abuts against the limiting portion 612, thereby achieving the limiting. In some embodiments, the limiting portion 612 may protrude from the outer wall of the rod 61. In this embodiment, a step may be provided on the rod 61 as the limiting portion 612. When the support portion 64 rotates to abut against the step, the maximum rotation angle is reached.

[0056] In this embodiment, the rod 61 is also provided with a receiving groove 611, and the support part 64 can be selectively received within the receiving groove 611 or positioned outside the receiving groove 611. Specifically, when the support part 64 rotates to an angle of approximately 0° with the rod 61, the support part 64 is received within the receiving groove 611. This makes the overall appearance of the stylus 60 more regular when the support part 64 is not needed, without affecting the use of the stylus 60. At this time, the pivot 68 can also be set within the receiving groove 611. During the rotation of the support part 64, one end of the pivot 68 of the support part 64 will abut against the wall surrounding the receiving groove 611, thus achieving a limiting function. Therefore, the limiting part 612 can be omitted. When the support part 64 is positioned outside the receiving groove 611, the support part 64 is used to support the electronic device 10.

[0057] Furthermore, when the support 64 is housed within the receiving slot 611, the outer wall of the support 64 can remain flush with the outer wall of the rod 61, resulting in a more uniform appearance and a better grip for the stylus 60. For easier support of the support 64 on the placement surface, please refer again... Figure 13The end face 641 of the support portion 64, away from the pivot 68, can also be configured as an inclined surface. Specifically, when the support portion 64 is received in the receiving groove 611, the end face 641 can be inclined relative to the extension direction of the rod 61, and the angle between the end face 641 and the extension direction of the rod 61 can be, for example, 30-60°. This way, when the support portion 64 rotates to the supported state, the end face 641 can fully contact the placement surface, improving the stability of the support. Of course, in some other embodiments, the receiving groove 611 may not be provided. In this case, the support portion 64 can also be configured to be detachable from the rod 61, and the support portion 64 can be installed only when needed.

[0058] The detachable connection between the rod 61 and the fixing part 114 of the back cover 113 can be a magnetic connection. For example, at least a portion of the back cover 113 can be made of metal as the fixing part 114, and a magnet 67 can be provided on the rod 61. When it is necessary to connect the rod 61 to the back cover 113, the rod 61 can be directly attracted to the fixing part 114 of the back cover 113. Alternatively, a magnet can be provided on the back cover 113 as the fixing part, and the rod 61 can be made of metal, with the back cover 113 directly attracting the metal rod 61. In some other embodiments, both the rod 61 and the fixing part 114 of the back cover 113 can be provided with magnets 67.

[0059] In addition, the fixing part 114 of the rod body 61 and the back cover 113 can also adopt other detachable connection methods, such as setting mutually cooperating Velcro. Cooperating buckles can also be set on the back cover 113 and the rod body 61, which is not limited here.

[0060] The power receiving part 66 is disposed on the rod body 61, and when the rod body 61 is connected to the rear cover 113, the power receiving part 66 is coupled to the power supply part 50, see reference. Figure 15 The power supply unit 50 and the power receiving unit 66 can be wirelessly coupled to each other. In this case, the power supply unit 50 may include a wireless power supply coil 52, and the power receiving unit 66 may include a wireless power receiving coil 661 for coupling with the wireless power supply coil 52. When the rod 61 is attached to the rear cover 113, the wireless power supply coil 52 and the wireless power receiving coil 661 are in corresponding positions. Specifically, the structure of the power supply unit 50 and the power receiving unit 66 can be referred to the content of the foregoing embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0061] The power supply unit 50 and the power receiving unit 66 can also be electrically connected by a wired connection. For details, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 8 The structure shown includes a mounting hole 1141 on the rear cover 113, and an electrical contact 51 located within the mounting hole 1141 and electrically connected to the power supply unit 50. Please refer to the attached document. Figure 16 and Figure 17The receiving part 66 protrudes from the outer wall of the rod 61 and can be embedded in the fixing hole 1141 to be electrically connected to the electrical contact 51, realizing the charging coupling between the power supply part 50 and the receiving part 66. This arrangement, because the receiving part 66 is embedded in the fixing hole 1141, also prevents the rod 61 from sliding against the back cover 113, improving the connection stability between the stylus 60 and the back cover 113.

[0062] Furthermore, in Figure 16 In the structure of the stylus shown, the receiving part 66 can also be housed within the rod 61. For example, the receiving part 66 can be rotatable or slidable relative to the rod 61. The rod 61 has a mounting groove. During rotation or sliding relative to the rod 61, the receiving part 66 can be selectively housed within the mounting groove or extend out of the rod 61. When connection to the electronic device 10 is required, the receiving part 66 extends out of the rod 61 and inserts into the fixing hole 1141 to electrically connect with the electrical contact 51. When charging is not required, the receiving part 66 can be retracted into the mounting groove. This maintains the neat appearance of the stylus 60 and facilitates user operation. The receiving part 66 can be configured as a metal pin, probe, etc., which will not be described in detail here.

[0063] In another implementation, see Figure 18 The stylus 60 may include a stem 61 and a support 64. A screen brush 63 may be disposed at the end of the support 64 away from the stem 61. The support 64 and the stem 61 are arranged side-by-side along the length of the stylus 60, and their outer diameters may be approximately the same. The stem 61 may be detachably attached to the back cover 113. The support 64 is rotatably disposed on the stem 61 and can selectively be located in a first position or a second position. When the support 64 is in the first position, the angle between the support 64 and the stem 61 is approximately 180°, and the stem 61 and the support 64 are collinear to form a complete stylus 60. At this time, the support 64 is in a non-supported state. (See also...) Figure 19 When the support part 64 is in the second position, the angle between the support part 64 and the rod 61 is β. At this time, the support part 64 is in a supporting state, and the stylus 60 can be used as a stand for the electronic device 10. β can be, for example, 120°-150°, and is not limited in this embodiment. When it is necessary to support the electronic device 10, the support part 64 is rotated so that the support part 64 and the rod 61 form a certain angle, and the support part 64 is supported on the placement surface. The support part 64 can be configured to have a certain damping between it and the rod 61, allowing the user to arbitrarily adjust the rotation angle between the support part 64 and the rod 61, or a limiting part can be provided to limit the angle.

[0064] Understandably, the configuration of the power supply unit 50 and the power receiving unit 66 can be found in references 13 and 14. Figure 14 The structure of the stylus 60 shown and the aforementioned content will not be repeated here.

[0065] In the above-described embodiment of the electronic device assembly 1, when the support 64 is rotated to a certain angle with the rod 61, the stylus 60 can also be used as a stand for the electronic device 10. Furthermore, when used as a stand, the power receiving part 66 of the stylus 60 can couple with the power supply part 50 of the electronic device 10, allowing the electronic device 10 to charge the stylus 60. This allows the stylus 60 to function as a stand for the electronic device 10 while being charged, greatly facilitating the use of the electronic device 10. Moreover, the small size and portability of the stylus 60 improve the overall convenience of the electronic device assembly 1.

[0066] It should also be noted that when the stylus 60 is used as a stand for the electronic device 10, it may not need to be charged; this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0067] It should be noted that the electronic device 10 in this application can be a mobile phone or smartphone (e.g., a phone based on iPhone™ or Android™), a portable gaming device (e.g., Nintendo DS™, PlayStation Portable™, Gameboy Advance™, iPhone™), a laptop computer, a PDA, a portable internet device, a music player, and a data storage device, other handheld devices, and devices such as watches, headphones, pendants, etc. The electronic device 10 can also be other wearable devices (e.g., head-mounted devices (HMDs) such as electronic glasses, electronic clothing, electronic bracelets, electronic necklaces, electronic tattoos, electronic devices, or smartwatches).

[0068] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
