Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic device technology, and in particular to electronic devices, housing assemblies, camera decorative assemblies, and methods for their preparation. Background Technology

[0002] In electronic devices, camera assembly components are typically located outside the camera module, serving to support and protect the camera module, and also playing a decorative role. Currently, aluminum alloys and stainless steel are commonly used materials to manufacture these decorative camera components.

[0003] However, due to the ductility of metal, decorative components for cameras made of metal are easily deformed by external pressure, leading to lens breakage of the internal camera module. Furthermore, the anodized surface of the metal decorative components is not resistant to wear. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The main technical problem addressed in this application is to provide electronic devices, housing components, camera decorative components, and methods for their preparation, which can protect camera modules.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, one technical solution adopted in this application is: to provide a camera decorative component, comprising:

[0006] The plastic part has a first through hole;

[0007] A ceramic component having a second through hole, wherein the plastic component is connected to the ceramic component;

[0008] The camera decorative component is connected to the outer housing, the first through hole is opposite to the second through hole, and the plastic part is closer to the housing than the ceramic part.

[0009] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, another technical solution adopted in this application is: providing a method for preparing a camera decorative component, comprising:

[0010] The ceramic and plastic parts are processed according to the preset shape and size requirements, and a first through hole is formed in the plastic part and a second through hole is formed in the ceramic part;

[0011] The ceramic part and the plastic part are bonded together by dispensing glue and / or adhesive backing, and the first through hole is aligned with the second through hole to obtain the camera decorative assembly.

[0012] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, another technical solution adopted in this application is: providing a housing assembly, comprising:

[0013] Housing, the housing having mounting holes; and

[0014] The camera decorative component provided in this application is connected to the housing and installed in the mounting hole.

[0015] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, another technical solution adopted in this application is: to provide an electronic device, including...

[0016] The housing assembly provided in this application; and

[0017] A camera module, which is connected to the camera decorative component.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows: Unlike existing technologies, the camera decorative assembly of this application uses a plastic part made of plastic material and a ceramic part made of ceramic material to form the camera decorative assembly together. The plastic part is connected to the ceramic part, with the plastic part located on the side closer to the housing, allowing connection to the camera module of the electronic device. Due to the good plasticity of the plastic part, it can perfectly fit the camera module.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of 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.

[0032] This application provides embodiments of electronic devices, housing assemblies, camera decorative assemblies, and methods for manufacturing the same. As used herein, "electronic device" (or simply "terminal") includes, but is not limited to, means configured to receive / transmit communication signals via wired connections (such as via a public switched telephone network (PSTN), digital subscriber line (DSL), digital cable, direct cable connection, and / or another data connection / network) and / or via a wireless interface (e.g., for cellular networks, wireless local area networks (WLAN), digital television networks such as DVB-H networks, satellite networks, AM-FM broadcast transmitters, and / or another communication terminal).

A mobile phone is an electronic device equipped with a cellular communication module.

[0033] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an embodiment of the electronic device of this application. Figure 2 yes Figure 1A schematic diagram of the front structure of the electronic device in the embodiment. Figure 3 yes Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the rear structure of the electronic device in this embodiment shows that the electronic device 01 in this application embodiment may include a mobile phone, tablet computer, laptop computer, wearable device, etc. This embodiment uses a mobile phone as an example for illustration.

[0034] Specifically, the electronic device 01 may include a display screen 10, a housing assembly 20, a camera module 30, a control circuit board 40, and a battery 50, wherein the housing assembly 20 is the housing assembly provided in this application. The housing assembly 20 and the display screen 10 cooperate to form a receiving space, and the control circuit board 40 and the battery 50 are disposed within the receiving space. The control circuit board 40 is electrically connected to the camera module 30, the battery 50, and the display screen 10. When shooting is required, the camera module 30 can receive external light to form an image. The battery 50 is used for power supply, and the control circuit board 40 is used to control the working state of the camera module 30, the battery 50, and the display screen 10. Detailed technical features of other parts of the electronic device 01 are within the understanding of those skilled in the art and will not be elaborated here.

[0035] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of a housing assembly according to an embodiment of the present application. The housing assembly 20 includes a housing 200 and a camera decorative assembly 100, with the housing 200 connected to the camera decorative assembly 100. The camera decorative assembly 100 can be installed within a mounting hole 201 on the housing 200. Figure 4 The image shows the installed state (mounting holes 201 are indicated by dashed lines). The camera decorative component 100 is positioned corresponding to the camera module of the electronic device, serving not only to protect the camera module but also to decorate the housing component 20. The housing 200 is generally used to form a receiving space in conjunction with the display screen, which can accommodate the circuitry and components of the electronic device. The housing 200 can also protect the electronic device and enhance its appearance, for example, by forming textures, patterns, logos, etc., on its surface.

[0036] Furthermore, regarding embodiments of the camera decorative component of this application, please refer to... Figure 5 , Figure 6 . Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of one embodiment of the camera decorative component of this application. Figure 6 yes Figure 5 An exploded view of the camera decorative component in the embodiment.

[0037] In this embodiment, the camera decorative assembly 100 is provided with through holes 101 extending through both sides. The through holes 101 are used for light entry and exit, allowing light to pass through and reach the camera module to meet the light requirements during video recording or photography. The through holes 101 can also correspond to devices such as flashes and sensors in electronic devices. Optionally, there can be one or more through holes 101, with each through hole 101 corresponding to a different lens, flash, or sensor of the camera module in the case of multiple through holes 101.

[0038] Specifically, the camera decorative assembly 100 may include a plastic part 110 and a ceramic part 120, with the plastic part 110 and the ceramic part 120 connected. The plastic part 110 has a first through hole 111, and the ceramic part 120 has a second through hole 121. When the plastic part 110 and the ceramic part 120 are connected, the first through hole 111 and the second through hole 121 are opposite to each other, and the first through hole 111 and the second through hole 121 together form a through hole 101.

[0039] Optionally, the number of first through holes 111 and second through holes 121 can be one or more, with the number of first through holes 111 being the same as the number of second through holes 121, to form a plurality of through holes 101.

[0040] Optionally, the plastic part 110 and the ceramic part 120 can be sheet-like, with both sides of the plastic part 110 and the ceramic part 120 bonded together, making the camera decorative component 100 thinner.

[0041] Optionally, the plastic part 110 and the ceramic part 120 can be connected by applying adhesive and / or bonding backing. For example, the ceramic part 120 can be bonded to one side of the plastic part 110 first with a layer of adhesive backing, and then adhesive can be applied to the periphery of the adhesive backing between the plastic part 110 and the ceramic part 120 to further strengthen the connection between the plastic part 110 and the ceramic part 120.

[0042] In related technologies, camera decorative components are often made of metals such as aluminum alloys and stainless steel. Metal materials have poor plasticity, are easily deformed by extrusion, and the anodized surface of metal decorative components is not wear-resistant.

[0043] In this embodiment, the camera decorative component 100 is installed on Figure 4In the housing assembly 20, the plastic part 110 is closer to the housing 200 than the ceramic part 120. That is, in the housing assembly 20, the ceramic part 120 is closer to the outer side, while the plastic part 110 is located on the inner side and connected to the camera module. The plastic part 110 is made of plastic material, which has good processing performance and moldability, allowing it to be manufactured into a preset shape as needed. This ensures that the plastic part 110 perfectly fits the camera module. Simultaneously, the plastic part 110 has impact resistance and insulation properties, protecting the camera decorative assembly 100 and the internal camera module connection from external impacts and static electricity, thus improving the lifespan of the electronic device.

[0044] Ceramic part 120 is located more in the same position as plastic part 110. Figure 4 The outer side of the housing assembly 20. The ceramic part 120 is made of ceramic material. The ceramic part 120 has high hardness, which can protect the camera decorative assembly 100 from deformation and prevent the lens of the camera module from breaking due to pressure. In addition, the ceramic part 120 also has excellent wear resistance and a long service life.

[0045] Furthermore, the ceramic component 120 also prevents the color of the camera decorative component 100 from being scratched or peeling off. Compared to camera decorative components made of metal materials, it is also less prone to fading, ensuring a better appearance.

[0046] Optionally, the ceramic part 120 may be made of zirconia ceramic. Zirconia ceramic material has the characteristics of high toughness, high bending strength, high wear resistance, and excellent thermal insulation performance, which makes the ceramic part 120 have excellent mechanical properties and is not easily deformed.

[0047] Optionally, the ceramic part 120 may also be provided with a lens groove 122, which is located on the side of the ceramic part 120 opposite to the plastic part 110. The lens groove 122 is used to embed a glass lens, which can prevent dust, moisture and other impurities from entering the camera module of the electronic device through the second through hole 121. Of course, in other embodiments, the glass lens may also be embedded in the second through hole 121.

[0048] Optionally, the ceramic part 120 is manufactured by CNC (Computer Numerical Control). CNC, also known as a numerical control machine tool, is an automated machine tool equipped with a program control system that can process parts according to a pre-programmed program. Therefore, the required drawing of the ceramic part 120 can be imported into a computer and the ceramic material can be cut by a large CNC machine to form structures such as the second through hole 121 and the lens groove 122 in the ceramic part 120.

[0049] Therefore, compared to camera decorative components made of metal, the camera decorative component 100 in this embodiment can better fit the camera module and better protect the camera module from damage caused by impact, squeezing, or scratches. At the same time, the cost of forming the camera decorative component 100 using a single ceramic part 120 is low, the structure is simple, and it is easy to manufacture.

[0050] In this embodiment, the camera decorative assembly 100 may further include a decorative ring 130. The decorative ring 130 is installed inside the second through hole 121 and is also sleeved around the first through hole 111. That is, the decorative ring 130 is located between the plastic part 110 and the ceramic part 120.

[0051] Specifically, such as Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, Figure 7 yes Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the structure of section A-A' in the embodiment. Figure 8 yes Figure 7 Enlarged view of region I. The outer ring of the decorative ring 130 abuts against the ceramic part 120 inside the second through hole 121, and the inner ring of the decorative ring 130 can abut against the protruding ring 112 of the plastic part 110. The protruding ring 112 surrounds the periphery of the first through hole 111 and protrudes towards the second through hole 121.

[0052] Furthermore, the decorative ring 130 can be fixed to the plastic part 110 by applying adhesive and / or bonding the backing. For example... Figure 8 As shown, a first bonding space 141 exists between the decorative ring 130 and the plastic part 110. Within the first bonding space 141, the decorative ring 130 is fixed to the plastic part 110 by applying adhesive and / or bonding backing adhesive. The outer edge of the decorative ring 130 may also be provided with a limiting protrusion 131, which abuts against the side of the ceramic part 120 facing the plastic part 110 to prevent the decorative ring 130 from falling off.

[0053] Optionally, the decorative ring 130 can be made of metal to enhance its texture. The surface of the decorative ring 130 can be treated with PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) to improve its hardness and wear resistance. The color of the decorative ring 130 can also be changed to meet different aesthetic requirements. Alternatively, an electroplating process can be used to deposit a metal layer on the surface of the decorative ring 130 to improve its surface strength.

[0054] Therefore, in this embodiment, the decorative ring 130 serves a decorative function, providing richer appearance ID (Industrial Design) designs for the camera decorative component 100, thereby achieving CMF diversification of the camera decorative component 100.

[0055] The mounting structure of the camera decorative component of this application will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments of the housing component of this application.

[0056] Please continue reading. Figure 4 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 The camera decorative component 100 and the housing 200 are already connected. In this embodiment, the housing component 20 is bonded to the side of the housing 200 closest to the camera decorative component 100, specifically by applying adhesive and / or using adhesive backing. The area of ​​the side of the camera decorative component 100 facing the housing 200 is larger than the area of ​​the mounting hole 201, allowing the edge of this side of the camera decorative component 100 facing the housing 200 to be bonded to the side of the housing 200 closest to the camera decorative component 100, thus closing the mounting hole 201 on this side of the housing 200. In this document, the side of the housing 200 closest to the camera decorative component 100 refers to the side of the housing 200 facing away from the display screen when the housing component is used in an electronic device, with this side facing the camera decorative component 100.

[0057] In related technologies, the skirt of the camera decorative component is often inserted from one side of the housing through a mounting hole into the other side of the housing, and then bonded to the other side of the housing to install the camera decorative component onto the mounting hole. However, this method creates a gap between the camera decorative component and the housing within the mounting hole. This gap allows dust, moisture, and other impurities to easily enter, accumulating and affecting hygiene, and may even damage the camera module.

[0058] In this embodiment, the camera decorative component 100 does not need to extend into the mounting hole 201 and is bonded to the other side of the housing 200. Bonding the camera decorative component 100 to the side of the housing 200 near the camera decorative component 100 effectively seals the mounting hole 201 on the side of the housing 200 near the camera decorative component 100, preventing impurities from entering the mounting hole 201.

[0059] Specifically, in this embodiment, the edge of the ceramic part 120 near the housing 200 is bonded to the side of the housing 200 near the camera decorative assembly 100, and the plastic part 110 is indirectly fixed to the housing 200 by bonding it to the ceramic part 120. The above bonding can be achieved by applying adhesive and / or using adhesive backing. For example, a second bonding space 142 is provided between the plastic part 110 and the ceramic part 120, and adhesive is applied and / or bonded to the back of the ceramic part 120 in the second bonding space 142; a third bonding space 143 and a fourth bonding space 144 are formed between the ceramic part 120 and the housing 200, and adhesive is bonded to the back of the ceramic part 120 in the third bonding space 143, so that the ceramic part 120 and the housing 200 are firmly bonded; while the fourth bonding space 144 is closer to the edge of the ceramic part 120 than the third bonding space 143, and adhesive is applied in the fourth bonding space 144, which can prevent impurities and dust from entering the gap between the ceramic part 120 and the housing 200, further strengthening the bond between the ceramic part 120 and the housing 200. Optionally, the adhesive used for application can be 3M 5520 series adhesive, such as 3M 5520plus adhesive.

[0060] In this embodiment, the edge of the ceramic part 120 near the housing 200 is bonded to the side of the housing 200 near the camera decorative assembly 100, resulting in the projected area of ​​the plastic part 110 on the housing 200 being smaller than the projected area of ​​the ceramic part 120 on the housing 200. Furthermore, the plastic part 110 is installed within the mounting hole 201. This effectively prevents the plastic part 110 from being exposed to the outside of the housing 200, protecting it from external scratches or corrosion.

[0061] Please see Figure 9 , Figure 10 , Figure 11 , Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram of another embodiment of the housing assembly of this application. Figure 10 yes Figure 9 Cross-sectional view of section B-B' Figure 11 yes Figure 10 A magnified view of region II. (Compared to...) Figure 4 Compared to the housing assembly in the previous embodiment, the housing assembly in this embodiment differs only in that it is a camera decorative assembly.

[0062] like Figure 9As shown, the housing assembly 20 includes a housing 200 and a camera decorative assembly 100. The housing 200 is connected to the camera decorative assembly 100, and the camera decorative assembly 100 can be installed in the mounting hole 201 (shown as a dashed line in the figure). Specifically, the camera decorative assembly 100 is bonded to the side of the housing 200 closest to the camera decorative assembly 100, which can be done by applying adhesive and / or using adhesive backing. The area of ​​the side of the camera decorative assembly 100 facing the housing 200 is larger than the area of ​​the mounting hole 201, so that the edge of the side of the camera decorative assembly 100 facing the housing 200 can be bonded to the side of the housing 200 closest to the camera decorative assembly 100, thus closing the mounting hole 201 on the side of the housing 200 closest to the camera decorative assembly 100.

[0063] Therefore, in this embodiment, the camera decorative assembly 100 and the housing assembly 20 do not need to extend into the mounting hole 201 to be bonded to the other side of the housing 200. Bonding the camera decorative assembly 100 to the side of the housing 200 closest to the camera decorative assembly 100 effectively seals the mounting hole 201 on the side of the housing 200 closest to the camera decorative assembly 100, preventing impurities from entering the mounting hole 201.

[0064] Further as Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the edge of the plastic part 110 near the housing 200 is bonded to the side of the housing 200 near the camera decorative assembly 100. The ceramic part 120 is indirectly fixed to the housing 200 by bonding it to the plastic part 110. This bonding can be achieved by applying adhesive and / or using adhesive backing. For example, a fifth bonding space 145 and a sixth bonding space 146 are formed between the plastic part 110 and the ceramic part 120. Adhesive is applied to the back of the plastic part 110 in the sixth bonding space 146, and dispensing is performed in the fifth bonding space 145, ensuring a firm bond between the plastic part 110 and the ceramic part 120. A seventh bonding space 147 and an eighth bonding space 148 are formed between the plastic part 110 and the housing 200. Adhesive is applied to the back of the plastic part 110 in the seventh bonding space 147, ensuring a stable bond between the plastic part 110 and the housing 200. The eighth bonding space 148 is closer to the edge of the plastic part 110 than the seventh bonding space 147. Dispensing is performed in the fourth bonding space 144 to prevent impurities and dust from entering the gap between the plastic part 110 and the housing 200, further strengthening the bond between them. Optionally, the adhesive used for dispensing can be a 3M 5520 series adhesive, such as 3M 5520plus adhesive.

[0065] In this embodiment, the edge of the plastic part 110 near the housing 200 is bonded to the side of the housing 200 near the camera decorative assembly 100, while the ceramic part 120 is not bonded to the housing 200. Since the ceramic part 120 is further away from the housing 200 than the plastic part 110, the ceramic part 120 does not need to be thickened to connect with the housing 200. Therefore, the ceramic part 120 in this embodiment can reduce the amount of ceramic material used, saving costs.

[0066] Furthermore, since the edge of the plastic part 110 is bonded to the housing 200 in this embodiment, when the camera decorative assembly 100 is connected to the housing, the ceramic part 120 or the housing 200 will not cover the plastic part 110, and a portion of the plastic part 110 can be exposed to the outside of the housing assembly 20. Figure 11 As shown, the plastic part 110 includes a side surface 113, which is an outer surface of the plastic part 110 exposed to the outside of the housing assembly 20. Because plastic materials have good colorability, paint can be sprayed on the plastic part 110, or a coating can be used to form a thin film of a certain strength on the plastic part 110. This allows the plastic part 110 to serve a decorative function when exposed to the outside of the housing assembly 20, satisfying personalized ID design requirements.

[0067] Because the ceramic component 120 does not need to be directly bonded to the housing 200, the projected area of ​​the ceramic component 120 on the housing 200 is less than or equal to the projected area of ​​the plastic component 110 on the housing 200. In other embodiments, the plastic component 110 may have more surfaces exposed to the outside to improve the aesthetics of the camera decorative assembly 100 and the housing assembly 20, which is not limited here.

[0068] In another aspect of this application, a method for manufacturing a camera decorative component is also provided. For example... Figure 12 As shown, Figure 12 This is a flowchart of an embodiment of the method for preparing the camera decorative component according to this application. The method for preparing the camera decorative component includes:

[0069] S11: Process the ceramic and plastic parts according to the preset shape and size requirements, and form a first through hole in the plastic part and a second through hole in the ceramic part.

[0070] Based on the shape and size requirements of the camera module and housing in electronic devices, plastic parts with corresponding shapes are processed using plastic materials, and ceramic parts matching the shape and size of the plastic parts are processed using ceramic materials. The plastic parts have a first through-hole extending through both sides, and the ceramic parts have a second through-hole extending through both sides.

[0071] Specifically, the plastic part is formed by thermoforming, which involves stirring and heating the plastic raw materials and additives to a semi-solid state, placing the semi-solid plastic in a die-casting mold, and die-casting it to form the first through hole, thereby obtaining the plastic part. The shape and size of the plastic part are determined by the mold.

[0072] Optionally, after the plastic parts are molded, they can be polished and colored to improve their surface appearance.

[0073] Specifically, the ceramic parts are manufactured using CNC machining. The required ceramic part drawing is imported into a computer, and the ceramic material is cut using a large CNC machine to form a second through hole in the ceramic part, resulting in a ceramic part of the corresponding size and shape.

[0074] Optionally, the ceramic component can be made of zirconia ceramic. Zirconia ceramic material has characteristics such as high toughness, high flexural strength, high wear resistance, and excellent thermal insulation properties, which gives the ceramic component excellent mechanical properties and makes it less prone to deformation.

[0075] S12: The ceramic part and the plastic part are bonded together by dispensing glue and / or adhesive backing, and the first through hole is aligned with the second through hole to obtain the camera decorative assembly.

[0076] The ceramic and plastic parts obtained in the above steps are bonded together using dispensing and / or adhesive backing to obtain the camera decorative assembly. During bonding, the first and second through holes form vias for light entry and exit of the camera module. There can be multiple first and second through holes, with each first through hole corresponding to a second through hole, resulting in multiple vias.

[0077] Optionally, the plastic and ceramic parts can be sheet-like, with both sides of the plastic and ceramic parts bonded together, making the camera decorative assembly thinner.

[0078] In one exemplary embodiment, the ceramic part and the plastic part are first bonded together using adhesive backing, with an adhesive backing layer between them. Next, adhesive is applied to the bonding surfaces of the ceramic and plastic parts, with the application point located around the perimeter of the adhesive backing layer. This strengthens the bond between the ceramic and plastic parts and prevents dust and impurities from entering the adhesive backing layer.

[0079] Alternatively, the adhesive used for dispensing can be 3M 5520 series adhesive, such as 3M 5520plus adhesive.

[0080] When the camera decorative assembly prepared in this embodiment is applied to electronic devices, the plastic part is closer to the camera module than the ceramic part. The plastic part, due to its good plasticity, can perfectly fit the camera module when connected. Furthermore, the plastic part has impact resistance and insulation properties, protecting the connection between the camera decorative assembly and the internal camera module from external impacts and static electricity, thus improving the lifespan of the electronic device. The ceramic part has high hardness, protecting the camera decorative assembly from deformation and preventing the camera module lens from cracking due to pressure. Simultaneously, the ceramic part also has excellent wear resistance and a long service life.
