[0068] Embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to examples illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below by reference to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present application, and should not be understood as limiting the present application.
[0069] The present embodiment provides a shell 10, referring to Figures 1-2 The shell 10 is formed with a receiving cavity, and the inner wall of the receiving cavity is attached with an attaching member 11. The shell 10 is provided with a plurality of functional holes, each of which penetrates the shell 10 and the attaching member 11 from outside to inside. The attaching member 11 is used to form a sealing structure of at least part of the functional holes. The receiving cavity can be used to accommodate electronic components such as batteries, middle frames, circuit boards, etc. In order to facilitate the arrangement of the functional holes, the edge position of the attaching member 11 can be formed as a support platform or the thickness can be increased.
[0070] The attaching member 11 and the shell 10 are made of different materials. Since the shell 10 is a decorative part, in order to ensure strength and wear resistance, the hardness of the shell 10 is greater than that of the attaching member 11. For example, the shell 10 is made of ceramic or metal material, and the attaching member is made of plastic material. The attaching member 11 at the position of the corresponding functional hole can be part of the sealing structure, improving the sealing performance of the functional hole position. The attaching member 11 can reinforce the shell 10 on one hand, and on the other hand, as a sealing structure of the functional hole, improve the reliability of the sealing.
[0071] In addition, the attaching member 11 is more convenient to set up functional holes, and the position and port direction of the functional hole are easy to adjust. For example, the position and port direction of the functional hole can be changed by setting a support platform on the attaching member 11.
[0072] The attaching member 11 can be a layered structure attached to the inner wall of the receiving cavity, and a support platform or the like can be provided at the edge position as needed to facilitate the arrangement and sealing of the functional hole. The thickness of the attaching member 11 at the position where no functional hole is arranged can be set to be uniform, and at the position of the functional hole, the thickness can be increased or a support platform can be directly formed according to the needs.

The inner port of the first microphone hole 20 is located on the first support platform 110, and the first support platform 110 has a first sealing surface around the inner port of the first microphone hole 20, and the inner port of the first microphone hole 20 is directed towards the open direction of the accommodation cavity. The first support platform 110 can be an irregular structure, and the first sealing surface is a flat surface to facilitate sealing.

[0077] The inner port of the infrared lamp hole 30 has a first abutting surface 301 and a second abutting surface 302; the first abutting surface 301 and the second abutting surface 302 form a predetermined angle, and the first abutting surface 301 and the second abutting surface 302 are used to cooperate with the infrared lamp 31. When assembled, the infrared lamp 31 can be extruded against the first abutting surface 301 and the second abutting surface 302, thereby playing an auxiliary sealing role. In addition, by arranging the first abutting surface 301 and the second abutting surface 302, the mating surface of the infrared lamp 31 is increased, thereby improving the sealing performance.

[0095] The shell 10 can be an integrally formed structure, so that the aesthetic appearance is improved, and the material of the shell 10 can be ceramic or metal to ensure sufficient structural strength.
[0096] The embodiment of the application also provides an electronic device, and mainly improves the sealing structure thereof to make the electronic device meet the IPX8 waterproof standard. The electronic device can be a mobile communication smart device such as a mobile phone or a tablet computer.
[0097] The waterproof design of the electronic device in the embodiment is mainly aimed at an integrally formed shell, which needs to make various functional holes on the shell.
[0098] Referring to Figures 1-8The electronic device of the embodiment of the present application comprises a display screen 12 and an integrally formed shell 10, the shell 10 is formed with a receiving cavity, the inner wall of the receiving cavity is attached with a attaching member 11, and the display screen 12 is sealingly arranged at the opening of the receiving cavity; wherein the attaching member 11 can be formed by in-mold injection, so as to ensure that the formed attaching member 11 is tightly attached with the shell 10. The shell 10 is provided with a plurality of functional holes, each of the functional holes penetrates the shell 10 and the attaching member 11 from outside to inside in sequence, and the attaching member 11 is used to form a sealing structure of at least part of the functional holes. The attaching member 11 has a certain extrusion deformation capability, so that when cooperating with other components, the functional hole position can obtain good sealing by extruding the attaching member 11. The structure of the shell 10 in any of the above embodiments can be applied to the electronic device, and therefore, part of the description can be referred to the description of the shell 10 above.
[0099] In some embodiments, the shell 10 is a ceramic shell or a metal shell. The use of ceramic material can improve the aesthetic appearance and facilitate the increase of signal.
[0100] The thickness of the attaching member 11 at different positions on the shell 10 can be different, and at local positions, the attaching member 11 can become a structural support component. The functional holes on the shell 10 can include one or more of the first microphone hole 20, the infrared lamp hole 30, the first speaker hole 40, the side key hole 50, the second speaker hole 60, the second microphone hole 70, the data line insertion hole 80, the card holder installation hole 90 and the pogo pin hole 93, and a person skilled in the art can select the type of functional hole according to the needs. Some of the functional holes can be sealed by the attaching member 11, and some of the functional holes can not be sealed by the attaching member 11.
[0101] In some embodiments, the functional hole includes the first microphone hole 20, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The inner port of the first microphone hole 20 has a first sealing surface, the first sealing surface is provided with a first waterproof and breathable film 21, the first waterproof and breathable film 21 covers the inner port of the first microphone hole 20, the first waterproof and breathable film 21 is attached with a first sealing element 22 around the first microphone hole 20, and one side of the inner port of the first microphone hole 20 is provided with a first microphone element 23, and the first microphone element 23 is extruded on the first sealing element 22.
[0102] The first waterproof and breathable film 21 has hydrophobicity, so that water cannot pass through, but gas can pass through, and therefore covering the first waterproof and breathable film 21 does not affect the transmission of sound waves.
[0103] For example, the first sealing member 22 includes foam and sealing glue applied on both sides of the foam. The foam has the effect of protecting the first microphone element 23 from being pressed too hard, and the sealing glue makes the connection more firm and stable, and also helps to increase the waterproofness.

A fifth sealing element 72 is attached to the second waterproof and breathable membrane 71 around the second microphone hole 70. A second microphone element 73 is disposed on one side of the inner port of the second microphone hole 70, and the second microphone element 73 is pressed against the fifth sealing element 72.
