Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of electronic equipment, and specifically relates to an electronic equipment. Background Art

[0002] Pressure sensing technology is a crucial area of ​​human-computer interaction. Traditional touchscreens offer only two-dimensional interaction and become ineffective when exposed to water. Under-display pressure sensing, on the other hand, offers a three-dimensional interactive experience and addresses the pain points of touchscreens.

[0003] In related technology, a bracket is placed beneath the electronic device's frame, with a groove formed in the screen. The first end of the bracket fits into the groove, and the second end is connected to the frame. As the screen is pressed, the bracket converts the screen's displacement into surface strain, which is used to calculate the pressure applied to the screen. During this pressing process, the contact point between the bracket and the screen can cause damage to the top of the screen. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present application aims to provide an electronic device that at least solves the problem that the contact position between the bracket and the screen may cause damage to the top screen.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, this application is implemented as follows:

[0006] An embodiment of the present application proposes an electronic device, comprising: a screen; a main body, the screen being arranged on the main body; a bracket, the bracket comprising a connecting part and a cantilever part, the connecting part being connected to the main body, the cantilever part being connected to the connecting part, and the cantilever part being suspended in the main body through the connecting part; a pressure sensing component being arranged on the cantilever part and being used to sense the deformation of the cantilever part, wherein a first magnetic part is provided on the side of the screen facing the cantilever part, and a second magnetic part is provided on the cantilever part, the first magnetic part and the second magnetic part are arranged opposite to each other and there is a gap between the first magnetic part and the second magnetic part, and when the screen is pressed, the first magnetic part and the second magnetic part drive the cantilever part to deform.

[0007] In an embodiment of the present application, an electronic device includes a screen, a main body, a bracket, and a pressure sensing component. The screen is provided on the main body, and the bracket includes a connecting portion and a cantilever portion. The connecting portion is connected to the main body, and the cantilever portion is connected to the connecting portion and is suspended in the main body through the connecting portion. The pressure sensing component is provided on the cantilever portion for sensing the deformation of the cantilever portion. A first magnetic portion is provided on the screen, and a second magnetic portion is provided on the cantilever portion. The first magnetic portion and the second magnetic portion are arranged relative to each other. In this way, when the screen is pressed, the first magnetic portion moves toward the second magnetic portion. Under the action of the magnetic field of the first magnetic portion and the second magnetic portion, the second magnetic portion moves in a direction away from the first magnetic portion or in a direction close to the first magnetic portion, thereby driving the cantilever portion to deform. After the pressure sensing component detects the deformation of the cantilever portion, it realizes the screen pressing function detection. There is a gap between the first magnetic portion and the second magnetic portion, so that the first magnetic portion and the second magnetic portion realize the deformation of the cantilever portion through the interaction of the magnetic field. That is, the screen does not need to be directly connected to the cantilever portion, thereby avoiding damage to the screen when the screen is pressed, which can significantly improve the problem of screen top printing and increase the service life of the electronic device.

[0026] The following combination Figures 1-10 An electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application is described.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, an electronic device according to some embodiments of the present application includes: a screen 1; a main body 2, the screen 1 is arranged on the main body 2; a bracket 3, the bracket 3 includes a connecting part 30 and a cantilever part 32, the connecting part 30 is connected to the main body 2, the cantilever part 32 is connected to the connecting part 30, and the cantilever part 32 is suspended in the main body 2 through the connecting part 30; a pressure sensing component 4, provided on the cantilever part 32, for sensing the deformation of the cantilever part 32, wherein a first magnetic part 10 is provided on the side of the screen 1 facing the cantilever part 32, and a second magnetic part 34 is provided on the cantilever part 32, the first magnetic part 10 and the second magnetic part 34 are arranged opposite to each other and there is a gap between the first magnetic part 10 and the second magnetic part 34, and when the screen 1 is pressed, the first magnetic part 10 and the second magnetic part 34 drive the cantilever part 32 to deform.

[0028] In an embodiment of the present application, an electronic device includes a screen 1, a main body 2, a bracket 3, and a pressure sensing component 4. The screen 1 is disposed on the main body 2. The bracket 3 includes a connecting portion 30 and a cantilever portion 32. The connecting portion 30 is connected to the main body 2, and the cantilever portion 32 is connected to the connecting portion 30 and suspended within the main body 2 via the connecting portion 30. The pressure sensing component 4 is disposed on the cantilever portion 32 and is configured to sense deformation of the cantilever portion 32. The screen 1 is provided with a first magnetic portion 10, and the cantilever portion 32 is provided with a second magnetic portion 34. The first magnetic portion 10 and the second magnetic portion 34 are arranged relative to each other. In this way, when the screen 1 is pressed, the first magnetic portion 10 moves toward the second magnetic portion 34. Under the action of the magnetic fields of the first magnetic portion 10 and the second magnetic portion 34, the second magnetic portion 34 moves away from the first magnetic portion 10 or toward the first magnetic portion 10, thereby driving the cantilever portion 32 to deform. After the pressure sensing component 4 detects the deformation of the cantilever portion 32, it realizes the screen 1 pressing function detection. Among them, there is a gap between the first magnetic part 10 and the second magnetic part 34, so that the first magnetic part 10 and the second magnetic part 34 can realize the deformation of the cantilever part 32 through the interaction of the magnetic field, that is, the screen 1 does not need to be directly connected to the cantilever part 32, thereby avoiding damage to the screen 1 when the screen 1 is pressed, which can significantly improve the problem of top printing of the screen 1 and increase the service life of the electronic device.

[0029] It can be understood that the magnetic poles of the first magnetic part 10 and the second magnetic part 34 on the opposite side are the same or opposite. When the magnetic poles of the first magnetic part 10 and the second magnetic part 34 on the opposite side are the same, the first magnetic part 10 and the second magnetic part 34 are adsorbed. In this way, when the screen 1 is pressed, the first magnetic part 10 moves toward the second magnetic part 34, and the second magnetic part 34 moves upward under the action of the adsorption force, that is, the second magnetic part 34 moves toward the side close to the screen 1, thereby driving the cantilever part 32 to move, causing the cantilever part 32 to deform.

[0030] In the case where the first magnetic part 10 and the second magnetic part 34 repel each other on opposite sides, when the screen 1 is pressed, the first magnetic part 10 moves toward the second magnetic part 34, and the second magnetic part 34 moves downward under the action of the repulsive force, that is, the second magnetic part 34 moves toward the side away from the screen 1, thereby driving the cantilever part 32 to move, causing the cantilever part 32 to deform.

[0031] Furthermore, when the pressure-sensing component 4 senses the deformation of the cantilever portion 32, it generates a change in resistance, which is converted into a pressure-sensing signal, thereby realizing the function detection of the electronic device's key. At the same time, the suspended structure design of the cantilever portion 32 makes the deformation sensed by the pressure-sensing component 4 more obvious, and the pressure-sensing signal is stronger, thereby effectively improving the reliability of the detection of the screen 1.

[0032] Furthermore, the material of the bracket 3 can be a deformable material such as metal, plastic, etc. The connecting portion 30 can be connected to the main body 2 by welding or bonding.

[0033] It is understandable that the first magnetic portion 10 and the second magnetic portion 34 are permanent magnets. Of course, at least one of the first magnetic portion 10 and the second magnetic portion 34 can also be designed as an electromagnet.

[0034] In a specific application, the pressure sensing component 4 includes four strain gauges, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, strain gauges R1, R2, R3, and R4 are connected via a Wheatstone bridge.

[0035] Assume that when there is no pressure, R1=R2=R3=R4, and the resistance changes after pressure is applied are △R1=△R4, △R2=△R3.

[0036] Then after applying pressure, the output voltage signal △U is:

[0037]

[0038] By detecting the size of this voltage difference, pressure detection can be achieved.

[0039] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present application, the main body 2 includes: a frame 20 , a screen 1 is provided on one side of the frame 20 , and the second magnetic portion 34 is located between the frame 20 and the screen 1 .

[0040] In this embodiment, the second magnetic part 34 is arranged between the frame 20 and the screen 1, thereby shortening the distance between the first magnetic part 10 and the second magnetic part 34, ensuring the strength of the magnetic field between the first magnetic part 10 and the second magnetic part 34, and improving the sensitivity of pressure detection.

[0041] Specifically, the bracket 3 is located on a side of the frame 20 close to the screen 1 , or a portion of the bracket 3 is located on a side of the frame 20 close to the screen 1 , and a portion is located on a side of the frame 20 away from the screen 1 .

[0042] In a specific application, the connecting portion 30 can be provided on the frame 20 , or on other structural components between the frame 20 and the screen 1 .

[0043] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present application, the connecting portion 30 is provided on the frame 20, an opening 200 is provided on the frame 20, the cantilever portion 32 is passed through the opening 200, and one end of the cantilever portion 32 provided with the second magnetic portion 34 is close to the screen 1, and the end of the cantilever portion 32 connected to the connecting portion 30 is away from the screen 1.

[0044] In this embodiment, the frame 20 is provided with an opening 200, and the cantilever portion 32 is disposed within the opening 200 and extends toward the screen 1. This allows the second magnetic portion 34 on the cantilever portion 32 and the first magnetic portion 10 on the screen 1 to deform the cantilever portion 32 under the action of a magnetic field, thereby enabling the pressure sensing component 4 to sense the deformation of the cantilever portion 32 and detect a pressure on the screen 1. By providing the opening 200 in the frame 20 and disposing the cantilever portion 32 within the opening 200, the overall volume occupied by the cantilever portion 32 within the electronic device can be reduced, thereby facilitating a thinner design for the electronic device.

[0045] It can be understood that by setting the cantilever part 32 in a suspended design, it can be ensured that the signal sensitivity does not change with the displacement distance of the cantilever part 32, so that the deformation sensed by the pressure sensing component 4 becomes more obvious and the pressure sensing signal is stronger, thereby effectively improving the reliability of the screen 1 press detection.

[0046] Specifically, when the first magnetic part 10 and the second magnetic part 34 are opposite to each other at the same level, the first magnetic part 10 and the second magnetic part 34 repel each other, wherein two pairs of strain gauges are placed at different positions inside the cantilever part 32, and they are connected through a Wheatstone bridge to form a pressure sensing component 4.

[0047] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, assuming that the length of the cantilever portion 32 is l, the width is b, the thickness is h, and the angle between the cantilever portion 32 and the horizontal direction (the width direction of the electronic device) is θ, then the bending curvature k of the cantilever portion 32 under the force F at the free end satisfies the following formula:

[0048]

[0049] Where M is the bending moment. Ideally, the force F has only a component perpendicular to the cantilever portion 32, causing the cantilever portion 32 to bend:

[0050] M=-F cosθ;

[0051] E is the elastic modulus, which is determined by the material properties. I is the moment of inertia. For the neutral axis of the cross section of the cantilever portion 32:

[0052]

[0053] Then the gauge factor of the surface of the cantilever portion 32 at a distance x from the free end of the cantilever portion 32 is:

[0054] ε x (y) = k × y;

[0055] Where y is the distance from the surface of the cantilever portion 32 to the neutral axis of the cross section:

[0056]

[0057] So:

[0058]

[0059] Then the strain difference between the two strain gauges is:

[0060]

[0061] The output signal of the Wheatstone bridge is:

[0062]

[0063] Where U is the voltage applied across the strain gauge, and Gf is the gauge factor.

[0064] Assuming that the displacement of the screen 1 after being subjected to pressure is d, the axial displacement of the cantilever portion 32 is d cosθ, and the deflection of the cantilever portion 32 is:

[0065]

[0066] Therefore, the vertical displacement satisfies the formula:

[0067]

[0068] The relationship between strain and displacement is:

[0069]

[0070] The sensitivity of the signal to vertical displacement is:

[0071]

[0072] It can be seen that k is independent of d, that is, the signal sensitivity does not change with the displacement distance.

[0073] Specifically, when the screen 1 is not subjected to pressure, the second magnetic portion 34 of the cantilever portion 32 is in a state of force balance:

[0074] F 斥 +G=F 支 ;

[0075] Where G is the gravity of the first magnetic part 10, F 斥 is the repulsive force between the first magnetic portion 10 and the second magnetic portion 34, F 支 It is the supporting force from the cantilever portion 32 and is related to the deformation amount of the cantilever portion 32 .

[0076] like Figure 2 As shown, the cantilever portion 32 shown by the solid line is the position of the screen 1 before it is pressed, and the cantilever portion 32 shown by the dotted line is the position of the screen 1 after it is pressed. When the screen 1 is pressed, the screen 1 deforms due to bending, and the first magnetic portion 10 below the screen 1 moves downward by d. Since the interaction force between the first magnetic portion 10 and the second magnetic portion 34 is inversely proportional to the square of the distance, the closer the distance, the greater the repulsive force, that is:

[0077]

[0078] The balance of forces is therefore disrupted, resulting in:

[0079] F 斥 +G>F 支 ;

[0080] The supporting force provided by the current deformation of the cantilever portion 32 is insufficient, causing the cantilever portion 32 to bend downward.斥 As the distance increases again, the force decreases until a new force balance is reached. Since the actual displacement of the screen 1 is at the micron level, it can be roughly assumed that the support force provided by the cantilever 32 remains unchanged during this change. The actual downward displacement of the cantilever 32 is also d, so the sensitivity of the signal to vertical displacement remains unchanged:

[0081]

[0082] That is, the signal sensitivity does not change with the displacement distance. Therefore, in the process of the first magnetic part 10 and the second magnetic part 34 driving the cantilever part 32 to move, the signal sensitivity remains unchanged, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the electronic device's detection of the screen 1 pressing condition.

[0083] like Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present application, the main body 2 includes a frame 20, the screen 1 is arranged on one side of the frame 20, and the bracket 3 is arranged on the other side of the frame 20 away from the screen 1, so that the frame 20 is located between the first magnetic part 10 and the second magnetic part 34.

[0084] In this embodiment, the bracket 3 is disposed on the other side of the frame 20 away from the screen 1, so that the frame 20 is located between the first magnetic portion 10 and the second magnetic portion 34. In other words, there is no need to provide an opening 200 in the frame 20. The magnetic field between the first magnetic portion 10 and the second magnetic portion 34 drives the cantilever portion 32, causing the cantilever portion 32 to deform. This not only ensures the supporting strength of the frame 20, but also avoids damage to the heat sink on the frame 20, ensuring the integrity of the heat sink, thereby facilitating heat dissipation in the electronic device and reducing manufacturing costs.

[0085] In addition, this arrangement does not require an opening 200 to be provided on the frame 20 , thereby eliminating the need to extend the cantilever portion 32 through the opening 200 into between the frame 20 and the screen 1 , and further eliminating the need to reserve a large space between the frame 20 and the screen 1 .

[0086] It is understandable that, because the magnetic field between the first magnetic portion 10 and the second magnetic portion 34 is penetrating, allowing the magnetic field to pass through the frame 20, there is no need to provide an opening 200 on the frame 20. Generally, a heat sink is provided on the frame 20 to improve the overall heat dissipation effect of the electronic device. However, the present application does not require the provision of an opening 200 on the frame 20, and therefore does not need to damage the heat sink on the frame 20, thereby ensuring the heat dissipation effect of the electronic device.

[0087] In a specific application, the connecting portion 30 can be provided on the frame 20 , or on other structural components of the frame 20 on a side facing away from the screen 1 .

[0088] In a possible design, one end of the cantilever portion 32 provided with the second magnetic portion 34 extends toward a side away from the screen 1 , or one end of the cantilever portion 32 provided with the second magnetic portion 34 extends toward a side close to the screen 1 .

[0089] like Figure 6 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present application, the electronic device further includes: a functional component 22, the functional component 22 is located on the side of the frame 20 facing away from the screen 1, the connecting portion 30 is fixed to the functional component 22, the cantilever portion 32 is located between the functional component 22 and the frame 20, and one end of the cantilever portion 32 provided with the second magnetic portion 34 is close to the frame 20, and the end of the cantilever portion 32 connected to the connecting portion 30 is away from the frame 20.

[0090] In this embodiment, the functional component 22 supports the connecting portion 30, thereby avoiding occupying the frame 20 and the space between the frame 20 and the screen 1. This increases the diversity of the bracket 3's placement position to accommodate electronic devices of varying structures. Specifically, the cantilever 32, with the second magnetic portion 34 provided on one end thereof, is positioned closer to the frame 20, while the end connected to the connecting portion 30 is positioned further away from the frame 20. This shortens the distance between the first magnetic portion 10 and the second magnetic portion 34, ensuring magnetic field interaction between the first magnetic portion 10 and the second magnetic portion 34, thereby enhancing the sensitivity of pressure sensing.

[0091] like Figure 3 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present application, the connecting portion 30 is provided on the side of the frame 20 away from the screen, one end of the cantilever portion 32 provided with the second magnetic portion 34 is away from the frame 20, and the end of the cantilever portion 32 connected to the connecting portion 30 is close to the frame 20.

[0092] In this embodiment, the connecting portion 30 is connected to the frame 20 and is located on the side of the frame 20 away from the screen 1. One end of the cantilever portion 32 on which the second magnetic portion 34 is provided is away from the frame 20, so that the cantilever portion 32 extends from the connecting portion 30 in a direction away from the frame 20, thereby avoiding the need to provide an opening 200 on the frame 20, and thus there is no need to extend the cantilever portion 32 through the opening 200 between the frame 20 and the screen 1, and thus there is no need to reserve a large space between the frame 20 and the screen 1.

[0093] According to some embodiments of the present application, a recess is provided on a side of the frame 20 facing away from the screen 1 , and at least a portion of the connecting portion 30 is disposed in the recess.

[0094] In this embodiment, a recess is provided on the side of the frame 20 facing away from the screen 1. Placing at least a portion of the connection portion 30 in the recess can reduce the space occupied by the connection portion 30 in the internal space of the electronic device, thereby reducing the overall thickness of the electronic device.

[0095] like Figure 6As shown, according to some embodiments of the present application, the connecting portion 30 is located on a side of the functional component 22 facing the frame 20 , and the cantilever portion 32 extends from the connecting portion 30 toward the frame 20 .

[0096] In this embodiment, the connecting portion 30 is fixed to the side of the functional component 22 facing the frame 20, and the cantilever portion 32 is provided between the functional component 22 and the frame 20, so that the entire bracket 3 is located between the functional component 22 and the frame 20. Therefore, there is no need to provide an opening 200 on the frame 20, nor is there any need to damage the functional component 22, thereby improving the integrity of the structure. The cantilever portion 32 is provided with one end of the second magnetic portion 34 extending toward the frame 20, thereby increasing the force between the first magnetic portion 10 and the second magnetic portion 34, thereby ensuring the deformation effect of the cantilever portion 32 under the action of the first magnetic portion 10 and the second magnetic portion 34.

[0097] In specific applications, such as Figure 6 As shown, when screen 1 is not under pressure:

[0098] When the second magnetic portion 34 of the cantilever portion 32 is in a state of force balance, the following relationship is satisfied:

[0099] F 斥 +G=F 支 ;

[0100] Where G is the gravity of the second magnetic part 34, F 斥 is the repulsive force between the first magnetic portion 10 and the second magnetic portion 34, F 支 is the supporting force from the cantilever portion 32 .

[0101] When the screen 1 is subjected to pressure, the screen 1 is deformed due to bending, while the frame 20 does not deform. Due to the strong penetrability of the magnetic field, the first magnetic portion 10 below the screen 1 is displaced downward by a distance d. Since the interaction force between the first magnetic portion 10 and the second magnetic portion 34 is inversely proportional to the square of the distance, the closer the distance, the greater the repulsive force. In other words,

[0102]

[0103] Therefore, the balance of forces is destroyed, that is:

[0104] F 斥 +G>F 支 ;

[0105] The supporting force provided by the current deformation of the cantilever portion 32 is insufficient, causing the cantilever portion 32 to bend downward. At the same time, F 斥As the distance increases again, the force decreases until a new force balance is reached. Since the actual displacement of screen 1 is at the micron level, it can be roughly assumed that the supporting force provided by cantilever 32 remains unchanged during this process. Therefore, the actual downward displacement of cantilever 32 is also d. Therefore, the signal sensitivity to vertical displacement remains unchanged, that is, the signal sensitivity does not change with displacement distance.

[0106] According to some embodiments of the present application, the functional component 22 includes a mainboard or a battery.

[0107] In this embodiment, the functional component 22 includes a main board or a battery, that is, the connecting part 30 can be set on the main board or on the battery and extend in the direction of the screen 1, so as to realize the magnetic drive between the first magnetic part 10 and the second magnetic part 34, so that the cantilever part 32 is deformed.

[0108] like Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present application, the first magnetic portion 10 and the second magnetic portion 34 repel each other to drive the cantilever portion 32 to deform, or the first magnetic portion 10 and the second magnetic portion 34 attract each other to drive the cantilever portion 32 to deform.

[0109] In this embodiment, when the first magnetic portion 10 and the second magnetic portion 34 repel each other, when the screen 1 is pressed, the screen 1 moves toward the frame 20. Under the action of the repulsive force, the second magnetic portion 34 moves away from the screen 1, thereby causing the cantilever portion 32 to deform. The pressure sensing component 4 senses the deformation of the cantilever portion 32 and sends a corresponding signal. When the first magnetic portion 10 and the second magnetic portion 34 attract each other, when the screen 1 is pressed, the screen 1 moves toward the frame 20. Under the action of the attraction force, the second magnetic portion 34 moves toward the first magnetic portion 10, causing the cantilever portion 32 to deform. The pressure sensing component 4 senses the deformation of the cantilever portion 32, thereby detecting that the screen 1 is pressed.

[0111] In this embodiment, the cantilever portion 32 is arranged to be inclined relative to the connecting portion 30, so that when the screen 1 is pressed, the cantilever portion 32 is more likely to be deformed under the drive of the first magnetic portion 10 and the second magnetic portion 34, wherein the second magnetic portion 34 is arranged at the free end of the cantilever portion 32, so that the deformation amount of the cantilever portion 32 can be guaranteed under the action of the magnetic field of the first magnetic portion 10 and the second magnetic portion 34.

[0112] It can be understood that the cantilever portion 32 includes a connecting end and a free end. Along the length direction of the cantilever portion 32, the connecting end and the free end are arranged opposite to each other, the connecting end is connected to the connecting portion 30, and the free end is suspended in the main body 2.
