Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of electronic devices, and particularly relates to an electronic device. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the update iteration of mobile phones, people pay more and more attention to call leakage. In public scenarios such as meetings, elevators and subways, it is not desirable for the call content to be heard by people around, causing privacy leakage.

[0003] In the related art, a reverse sound device is added to counteract the leakage. Although this setting reduces the leakage, the received call volume is also reduced, the call loudness is not enough, and it is difficult to hear the voice of the other party, resulting in poor user experience. SUMMARY

[0004] The present application aims to provide an electronic device that at least solves one of the problems that the call leakage and the call volume cannot be considered in the prior art.

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the present application is implemented as follows:

[0006] On the one hand, the present application provides an electronic device, comprising: a shell, the shell comprising a back cover, the shell being provided with a sound outlet and a first opening; a receiver, arranged in the shell, the receiver and an inner surface of the shell cooperating to enclose a front cavity and a rear cavity, the front cavity being in communication with the sound outlet, and the rear cavity being in communication with the first opening; a rear camera cover plate, arranged on the back cover, the rear camera cover plate being capable of sliding relative to the back cover between a first position and a second position when triggered; when the rear camera cover plate is in the first position, the first opening is blocked, and the electronic device is in a non-mute state; when the rear camera cover plate is in the second position, the blocking of the first opening is released, and the electronic device is in a mute state.

[0007] In the embodiments of the present application, the electronic device comprises a shell, a receiver and a rear camera cover plate, the receiver is arranged in the shell, and the receiver and an inner surface of the shell cooperate to enclose a front cavity and a rear cavity, the front cavity is in communication with a sound outlet on the shell, and the rear cavity is in communication with a first opening on the shell.

[0008] The position of the rear camera cover plate relative to the back cover can be switched by triggering the rear camera cover plate. For example, when the rear camera cover plate is triggered, the rear camera cover plate can be switched between the first position and the second position.

[0009] The position of the rear camera cover plate is related to whether the first opening is blocked, and the position of the rear camera cover plate is related to the working state (mute state and non-mute state) of the electronic device. When the first opening is blocked, the rear cavity cannot communicate with the outside through the first opening, that is, the rear cavity is closed. When the blocking of the first opening is released, the rear cavity can communicate with the outside through the first opening.

[0010] Meanwhile, the electronic device is in a non-mute state when the rear camera cover is in the first position, and the electronic device is in a mute state when the rear camera cover is in the second position.

[0011] Specifically, the earpiece can be used as a receiver or a loudspeaker.

[0012] Specifically, the electronic device is in a mute state when the rear camera cover is in the second position. Meanwhile, the first opening is not blocked, and the rear cavity can communicate with the outside through the first opening. In the mute state, when the user answers the phone in the earpiece mode, the sound waves propagated by the front cavity through the sound outlet are coupled with the sound waves propagated by the rear cavity through the first opening after being reflected by the user's face and diffracted by the electronic device. The sound waves of the front cavity and the rear cavity are opposite in phase, and interfere with each other to cancel each other out in the air, so that the purpose of preventing sound leakage can be achieved while ensuring the volume of the call, thereby avoiding privacy leakage and ensuring the security of information. That is, in the case of entering the mute state (the loudspeaker external playing mode of the earpiece does not work), the purpose of preventing sound leakage is achieved, and the use performance of the electronic device is improved.

[0013] Specifically, the electronic device is in a non-mute state when the rear camera cover is in the first position. Meanwhile, the first opening is blocked, and the rear cavity is closed. In the case of closing the rear cavity, the loudspeaker external playing mode of the earpiece works normally. That is, in the case of entering the non-mute state, the earpiece cannot achieve the purpose of preventing sound leakage when calling.

[0039] The following will be described in detail Figures 1 to 16 The electronic device 100 according to the embodiments of the present application is described.

[0040] As Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 The electronic device 100 according to some embodiments of the present application includes a housing 110, the housing 110 includes a rear cover 116, the housing 110 is provided with a sound outlet 112 and a first opening 114; a receiver is arranged in the housing 110, and the receiver and the inner surface of the housing 110 cooperate to enclose a front cavity 140 and a rear cavity 150, the front cavity 140 communicates with the sound outlet 112, and the rear cavity 150 communicates with the first opening 114; a rear camera cover plate 162 is arranged on the rear cover 116, and when the rear camera cover plate 162 is triggered, it can slide relative to the rear cover 116 between a first position and a second position; when the rear camera cover plate 162 is in the first position, the first opening 114 is blocked, and the electronic device 100 is in a non-mute state; when the rear camera cover plate 162 is in the second position, the blocking of the first opening 114 is removed, and the electronic device 100 is in a mute state.

[0041] In this embodiment, the electronic device 100 includes a housing 110, a receiver and a rear camera cover plate 162, the receiver is arranged in the housing 110, and the receiver and the inner surface of the housing 110 cooperate to enclose a front cavity 140 and a rear cavity 150, the front cavity 140 communicates with the sound outlet 112 on the housing 110, and the rear cavity 150 communicates with the first opening 114 on the housing 110.

[0042] The position of the rear camera cover plate 162 relative to the rear cover 116 can be switched by triggering the rear camera cover plate 162, for example, when the rear camera cover plate 162 is triggered, it can be switched between the first position and the second position.

[0043] The position of the rear cover plate 162 is associated with whether the first opening 114 is blocked, and the position of the rear cover plate 162 is associated with the working state (silent state and non-silent state) of the electronic device 100. After the first opening 114 is blocked, the rear cavity 150 cannot communicate with the outside through the first opening 114, that is, the rear cavity 150 is closed. After the first opening 114 is unblocked, the rear cavity 150 can communicate with the outside through the first opening 114.

[0044] At the same time, when the rear cover plate 162 is in the first position, the electronic device 100 is in the non-silent state; when the rear cover plate 162 is in the second position, the electronic device 100 is in the silent state.

[0045] Specifically, the earpiece can be used as a receiver or a loudspeaker.

[0046] Specifically, when the rear cover plate 162 is in the second position, the electronic device 100 is in the silent state. And the first opening 114 is not blocked, and the rear cavity 150 can communicate with the outside through the first opening 114. In the silent state, when the user answers the phone in the earpiece mode, the sound waves propagated by the front cavity 140 through the sound outlet 112 are coupled with the sound waves propagated by the rear cavity 150 through the first opening 114 after being reflected by the user's face 400 and diffracted by the electronic device 100, and the sound waves of the front cavity 140 and the rear cavity 150 are opposite in phase and interfere with each other to cancel each other out in the air, so that the purpose of preventing sound leakage can be achieved while ensuring the volume of the call, avoiding privacy leakage, and ensuring the safety of information. That is, in the case of entering the silent state (the loudspeaker external play mode of the earpiece does not work), the purpose of preventing sound leakage is achieved, and the use performance of the electronic device 100 is improved.

[0047] Specifically, when the rear cover plate 162 is in the first position, the electronic device 100 exits the silent state to be in the non-silent state. And the first opening 114 is blocked, and the rear cavity 150 is closed. In the case of closing the rear cavity 150, the loudspeaker external play mode of the earpiece works normally. That is, in the case of entering the non-silent state, the earpiece cannot achieve the purpose of preventing sound leakage when calling.

[0048] Alternatively, the electronic device 100 comprises a sensor and a controller 180, the controller 180 is arranged in the housing, the rear cover plate 162 and the sensor are electrically connected with the controller 180, the sensor is used for detecting the motion data of the rear cover plate 162, and the controller 180 adjusts the working state of the electronic device 100 according to the motion data. For example, the controller 180 determines that the rear cover plate 162 is in the first position according to the detection data of the sensor, and the controller 180 can control the electronic device 100 to be in a non-mute state; the controller 180 determines that the rear cover plate 162 is in the second position according to the detection data of the sensor, and the controller 180 can control the electronic device 100 to be in a mute state.

[0049] Specifically, the rear cover plate 162 is provided with a first conductive sheet and a second conductive sheet. When the rear cover plate 162 is in the first position, the first conductive sheet is electrically connected with the controller 180. When the rear cover plate 162 is in the second position, the second conductive sheet is electrically connected with the controller 180.

[0050] Specifically, the electronic device 100 can be a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone, a wearable device, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a mobile computer, an augmented reality device (also referred to as an AR device), a virtual reality device (also referred to as a VR device), and a handheld game console, etc.

[0051] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 9 、 Figure 10 、 Figure 11 、 Figure 12 、 Figure 14 and Figure 15 , the electronic device 100 further comprises a blocking part 164 arranged in the housing 110 and located at the first opening 114; when the rear cover plate 162 is in the first position, the rear cover plate 162 can drive the blocking part 164 to move to block the first opening 114; when the rear cover plate 162 is in the second position, the rear cover plate 162 releases the movement restriction of the blocking part 164, and the blocking part 164 resets to release the block of the first opening 114.

[0052] In this embodiment, the rear cover plate 162 is switched from the first position to the second position, and the rear cover plate 162 releases the movement restriction of the blocking part 164, that is, removes the external force acting on the blocking part 164, so that the blocking part 164 can reset, and the resetting of the blocking part 164 can release the block of the first opening 114. At this time, the rear cavity 150 can be in communication with the outside through the first opening 114, so as to achieve the purpose of preventing sound leakage while ensuring the call volume.

[0053] The rear cover plate 162 is configured to drive the blocking part 164 to move. The blocking part 164 is configured to block the first opening 114 or unblock the first opening 114. That is, the blocking part 164 is configured to move under the action of the rear cover plate 162 to adjust the positional relationship with the first opening 114 to meet the use requirement of blocking the first opening 114 or unblocking the first opening 114.

[0054] In some embodiments, the first position and the second position are arranged oppositely.

[0055] In this embodiment, along the first direction, the rear cover plate 162 is moved from the second position to the first position, and the rear cover plate 162 is configured to drive the blocking part 164 to move to block the first opening 114; along the second direction, the rear cover plate 162 is moved from the first position to the second position, and the rear cover plate 162 unblocks the movement of the blocking part 164, and the blocking part 164 is reset to unblock the first opening 114. The first direction is opposite to the second direction.

[0056] Specifically, as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 8 , the rear cover plate 162 is moved downward, and the rear cover plate 162 is moved from the first position to the second position.

[0057] Specifically, as shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the rear cover plate 162 is moved upward, and the rear cover plate 162 is moved from the second position to the first position.

[0058] In this embodiment, the first position and the second position are arranged along the length direction of the first side wall. Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 10 , Figure 11 , Figure 13 , Figure 14 and Figure 15 , the arrow direction indicates the movement direction of the rear cover plate 162.

[0059] The side wall of the shell 110 includes two first side walls and two second side walls, and one first side wall is arranged between the two second side walls. The length of the first side wall is greater than the length of the second side wall.

[0060] In this embodiment, the first position and the second position are arranged along the length direction of the first side wall.

[0061] In other embodiments, the first position and the second position are arranged along the length direction of the second side wall.

[0062] In other embodiments, the first position and the second position are arranged along the diagonal direction of the shell 110.

[0063] It is understandable that the back cover 116 of the housing 110 is configured to correspond to the display screen 240 of the electronic device 100.

[0064] In this embodiment, sliding the rear camera cover downwards switches the rear camera cover from the first position to the second position, and sliding the rear camera cover upwards switches the rear camera cover from the second position to the first position. The downward direction is the direction of gravity.

[0065] In some other embodiments, sliding the rear camera cover upward switches the rear camera cover from a first position to a second position, and sliding the rear camera cover downward switches the rear camera cover from a second position to a first position. The downward direction is the direction of gravity.

[0066] In other embodiments, the rear camera cover 162 can be replaced by a power device such as a motor or pump, which moves to drive the blocking part 164. For example, the user can drive the power device by touching the buttons on the touch screen 240.

[0067] In some other embodiments, the rear camera cover 162 can be replaced with a button, and the movement of the blocking part 164 can be achieved by pressing the button or touching the button.

[0068] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the rear camera cover includes: a plate 166, which is slidably connected to the rear cover 116; and a protrusion 168, which is disposed on the plate 166 and located inside the housing 110. At least a portion of the protrusion 168 extends out of the outer peripheral wall of the plate 166, and the protrusion 168 is used to drive the blocking part 164 to move.

[0069] In this embodiment, the rear camera cover includes a plate 166 and a protrusion 168. The protrusion 168 is disposed on the plate 166, and the plate 166 serves as a mounting carrier for the protrusion 168, thus mounting and fixing the protrusion 168. At least a portion of the protrusion 168 extends beyond the outer peripheral wall of the plate 166. By sliding the plate 166, the mating dimensions between the protrusion 168 and the blocking portion 164 can be switched. For example, when an external force is applied to the plate 166, the plate 166 slides to a first position, the protrusion 168 contacts the blocking portion 164, and then drives the blocking portion 164 to move, so that the blocking portion 164 blocks the first opening 114. When an external force is applied to the plate 166, the plate 166 slides to a second position, the protrusion 168 separates from the blocking portion 164, and the blocking portion 164 resets, thereby releasing the blockage of the first opening 114.

[0070] It can be understood that the volume of the plate body 166 is greater than the volume of the convex portion 168. This arrangement not only ensures the effectiveness and feasibility of the rear cover 162 driving the blocking portion 164 to move, but also reduces the overall volume of the rear cover 162, which is conducive to reducing the weight of the rear cover 162 and reducing the space occupied by the rear cover 162.

[0071] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 11 , Figure 13 and Figure 15 , the rear cover 116 includes a cover body 118 provided with a second opening 122, and a support plate 120 provided on the cover body 118. A portion of the support plate 120 protrudes out of the cover body 118 through the second opening 122, and the portion of the support plate 120 protruding out of the cover body 118 is provided with a mounting groove 124. A plate body 166 is arranged in the mounting groove 124 and can slide relative to the mounting groove 124. The mounting groove 124 is provided with a mounting hole 126, and the convex portion 168 extends into the inside of the cover body 118 through the mounting hole 126.

[0072] In this embodiment, the rear cover 116 includes the cover body 118 and the support plate 120, and the support plate 120 is arranged on the cover body 118. The rear cover plate is in sliding connection with the support plate 120. That is, the cover body 118 has the function of mounting and fixing the support plate 120, and the support plate 120 has the function of mounting and fixing the rear cover plate.

[0073] Specifically, the cover body 118 is provided with the second opening 122, a portion of the support plate 120 protrudes out of the cover body 118 through the second opening 122, and the portion of the support plate 120 protruding out of the cover body 118 is provided with the mounting groove 124. The plate body 166 can slide relative to the mounting groove 124. That is, a portion of the support plate 120 is exposed out of the cover body 118 through the second opening 122, and the plate body 166 is exposed out of the support plate 120 through the mounting groove 124. This arrangement can ensure that the plate body 166 is exposed out of the shell 110, and provides effective and reliable structural support for the user to manually drive the plate body 166 to slide.

[0074] It can be understood that at least a portion of the plate body 166 protrudes out of the outer surface of the cover body 118, that is, the connection between the plate body 166 and the cover body 118 forms a stepped structure, which facilitates the user to touch the plate body 166.

[0075] It can be understood that the convex portion 168 extends into the inside of the cover body 118 through the mounting hole 126 of the mounting groove 124, that is, it will not be exposed out of the shell 110, and the portion of the rear cover plate 162 exposed out of the shell 110 is the plate body 166.

[0076] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 , Figure 11 and Figure 14 , the rear cover 116 includes a cover body 118 provided with a second opening 122, and a support plate 120 provided on the cover body 118. A portion of the support plate 120 protrudes out of the cover body 118 through the second opening 122, and the portion of the support plate 120 protruding out of the cover body 118 is provided with a mounting groove 124. A plate body 166 is arranged in the mounting groove 124 and can slide relative to the mounting groove 124. The mounting groove 124 is provided with a mounting hole 126, and the convex portion 168 extends into the inside of the cover body 118 through the mounting hole 126.As shown, one of the groove wall of the mounting groove 124 and the rear camera cover plate is provided with a sliding groove 190, and the other is provided with a sliding block 200, the sliding block 200 can slide in the sliding groove 190, and the sliding groove 190 and the sliding block 200 are arranged along the circumference of the mounting groove 124.

[0077] In this embodiment, the groove wall of the mounting groove 124 is provided with the sliding block 200, and the rear camera cover plate is provided with the sliding groove 190.

[0078] In some other embodiments, the groove wall of the mounting groove 124 is provided with the sliding groove 190, and the rear camera cover plate is provided with the sliding block 200.

[0079] The sliding block 200 can slide in the sliding groove 190, thereby defining the sliding track of the rear camera cover plate, and ensuring the cooperation size of the rear camera cover plate and the rear cover 116.

[0080] Specifically, the sliding groove 190 and the sliding block 200 are arranged along the circumference of the mounting groove 124, which increases the cooperation area and cooperation angle of the rear camera cover plate and the rear cover 116, so as to limit the movement track of the rear camera cover plate 162 from multiple directions and multiple angles, and avoid the situation that the rear camera cover plate 162 is displaced and cannot effectively drive the blocking part 164 to work.
