Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of mobile terminal technology, and in particular to a sensor component and terminal device. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, people are pursuing full-screen terminal devices. The higher the screen-to-body ratio, the more popular the device is. The screen-to-body ratio of a terminal device is mainly reflected in the top and bottom black borders of the screen. The smaller the black borders, the higher the screen-to-body ratio.
[0003] In related technologies, terminal devices are generally designed with functions such as distance sensing, infrared sensing, and light sensing. Taking distance sensing as an example, when a user answers a call or puts the terminal device in their pocket, the sensor can detect that the terminal device is close to the user's face or clothing and turn off the screen's touch function. This prevents accidental touches, so distance sensing is an essential function for terminal devices.
[0004] Proximity sensors are typically designed at the top of the screen. The sensor needs to emit and receive infrared light through the screen to determine the distance. In order to accommodate the sensor, the black border at the top of the screen is usually quite wide. This distance-sensing design directly limits the width of the black border on the screen, thereby limiting the screen-to-body ratio of the terminal device. Summary of the Invention

[0023] The light guide component disclosed herein has its light-inlet and light-outlet portions angled relative to the main body, ensuring that the light guide component does not intersect with the screen's border. This prevents the light guide component from occupying the screen's border, thus freeing the screen's black border from being limited by the width of the light guide component. This reduces the width of the black border on the terminal device's screen, thereby increasing the screen-to-body ratio.
[0024] It should be understood that the above general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only, and are not intended to limit this disclosure. Attached Figure Description

[0034] Figure 9 This is a block diagram illustrating an apparatus according to an exemplary embodiment. Detailed Implementation
[0035] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numerals in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.
[0036] In related technologies, sensors often need to perceive ambient light outside the terminal device through the screen, resulting in relatively wide black borders on the screen due to the presence of sensors. The width of these black borders affects the screen-to-body ratio, which directly impacts user experience and product aesthetics. In this field, the problem of wide black borders and a small overall screen-to-body ratio caused by the presence of sensors has remained unresolved.
[0037] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this disclosure provides a sensor component 40, which is applied to a terminal device 100. The following will use a mobile phone as the terminal device 100 for detailed description. Figure 1 This is an exploded view of a terminal device 100 according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 2 This is a cross-sectional view of a partial structure of a terminal device 100 according to an exemplary embodiment.
[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the terminal device 100, through the sensor component 40 disclosed herein, enables the terminal device 100 to not only realize functions such as distance sensing and infrared, but also to narrow the black border width of the screen and increase the screen ratio.
[0039] In some embodiments, the sensor assembly 40 includes a sensor 41 and a light guide 42. The side of the sensor 41 that receives and emits light is a photosensitive surface, and the light guide 42 guides the light emitted or received by the sensor 41. The light guide 42 includes a body 421, a light-incident portion 422, and / or a light-emitting portion 423, wherein the light-incident portion 422 and / or the light-emitting portion 423 are disposed at an angle relative to the body 421.
[0040] The sensor 41 can be a light sensor, such as a proximity sensor, an infrared sensor, or a light sensor. In this embodiment, the sensor 41 is described as a proximity sensor. Furthermore, the proximity sensor used on a mobile phone is usually an infrared proximity sensor, which has a transmitting end and a receiving end on its photosensitive surface. The transmitting end is equipped with an infrared emitting tube, and the receiving end is equipped with an infrared receiving tube. When the infrared light emitted by the emitting tube is received by the receiving tube, it indicates that the distance is close and the screen needs to be turned off to avoid accidental operation. When the receiving tube does not receive the infrared light emitted by the emitting tube, it indicates that the distance is far and the screen does not need to be turned off.
[0041] Specifically, the first end of the light-incident section 422 and the first end of the light-emitting section 423 can be inclined to the body 421, and the second end of the light-incident section 422 and the second end of the light-emitting section 423 extend to the surface of the terminal device 100.
[0042] Infrared rays emitted by the infrared emitting tube enter the light emitting section 423 from the first end of the light emitting section 423 and are directly emitted to the outside of the terminal device 100 from the second end of the light emitting section 423; infrared rays outside the terminal device 100 enter the light receiving section 422 from the second end of the light receiving section 422 and are transmitted to the infrared receiving tube from the first end of the light receiving section 422.
[0043] As can be seen from the above structure, the light guide 42 provided in this disclosure, with its light-incident portion 422 and light-exit portion 423 inclined to the body 421, allows the light-incident portion 422 and light-exit portion 423 to extend along the direction inclined to the screen of the terminal device 100. The light path received by the light-incident portion 422 and the light path emitted by the light-exit portion 423 are spaced apart from the screen border and do not overlap or intersect with the screen. The light-incident portion 422 and light-exit portion 423 do not occupy the black border of the screen, so the black border of the screen is not restricted by the width of the light guide 42, and the width of the black border of the screen of the terminal device 100 can be reduced to improve the screen ratio. In addition, the second end of the light-incident portion 422 and the second end of the light-exit portion 423 are in direct contact with the outside of the terminal device 100. The infrared light emitted or received by the distance sensor does not need to pass through the screen, thereby avoiding the loss of infrared optical energy during the emission and reception of infrared light, improving the distance sensing function of the infrared distance sensor, and improving the measurement accuracy of the infrared distance sensor.
[0044] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the light-incident section 422 is further provided with a first mirror aperture 4222, which is located at the second end of the light-incident section 422 and is perpendicular to the direction of light propagation in the light-incident section 422. The light-exiting section 423 is further provided with a second mirror aperture 4232, which is located at the second end of the light-exiting section 423 and is perpendicular to the direction of light propagation in the light-exiting section 423.
[0045] The light guide 42 also includes an entrance light reflector 424 and an exit light reflector 425. The entrance light reflector 424 is disposed in the first mirror hole 4222, and the exit light reflector 425 is disposed in the second mirror hole 4232.
[0046] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the light-incident mirror 424 includes a first refractive surface 42221 and a second refractive surface 42222, with a first included angle between the first refractive surface 42221 and the second refractive surface 42222; the light-outcident mirror 425 is provided with a third refractive surface 42321 and a fourth refractive surface 42322, with a second included angle between the third refractive surface 42321 and the fourth refractive surface 42322.
[0047] Specifically, in this embodiment, since the photosensitive surface of the distance sensor is not parallel to the light-emitting surface 4231 and the light-incident surface 4221 of the light guide 42, in order to allow the infrared light emitted by the distance sensor to be emitted perpendicularly to the screen, or to allow the infrared light perpendicular to the screen to enter in order to achieve the best distance sensing function, an incident light reflector 424 and an exit light reflector 425 are respectively installed inside the light-incident part 422 and the light-emitting part 423.
[0048] The light-incident mirror 424 and the light-outcident mirror 425 utilize the principle of a prism to refract the infrared rays emitted by the distance sensor through the light-outcident mirror 425. This allows the infrared rays to be perpendicular to the screen or the photosensitive surface of the distance sensor, or perpendicular to the screen of the terminal device 100. After entering the light guide 42, the infrared rays are refracted by the light-incident mirror 424, which can increase the angle range of the light received by the receiving end of the distance sensor.
[0049] Furthermore, the angles of the first and second included angles can be adjusted to change the position of the prism in the distance sensor light guide 42 based on the angles between the photosensitive surface of the distance sensor and the light-incident portion 422 and the light-emitting portion 423. In this embodiment, the range of the first and second included angles is 55° to 65°. Therefore, the overlap between the centers of the light-incident surface 4221 and the light-emitting surface 4231 and the receiving and transmitting ends of the distance sensor, respectively, can be greatly improved.
[0050] Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 These are three-dimensional structural schematic diagrams of a light guide 42 from three perspectives, according to an exemplary embodiment. In some embodiments, such as... Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the light-incident part 422 and the light-exit part 423 are obliquely connected to the main body 421, and respectively correspond to the receiving end and the transmitting end of the distance sensor.
[0051] Specifically, the main body 421 is provided with a receiving groove 4211, in which the distance sensor is received. The inner wall of the receiving groove 4211 abuts against the outer wall of the distance sensor, thereby restricting the movement and shaking of the distance sensor.
[0052] After the terminal device 100 is assembled, a calibration test will be performed. This test will assign a range of distance sensing values to the distance sensor based on the current structural state of the terminal device 100. Following the calibration test, vibration and drop tests will be conducted on the terminal device 100. After these tests, the distance sensing values must not exceed the range specified in the calibration test. Therefore, the light guide 42 and the distance sensor must be relatively stable, and there should be no significant movement or loosening between them.
[0053] By setting up the receiving groove 4211 and making the inner wall of the receiving groove 4211 directly abut against the outer wall of the distance sensor, the position of the light guide 42 and the distance sensor is limited, thereby restricting the position and movement range of the distance sensor and avoiding the impact on the accuracy of the distance sensor measurement due to the shaking or movement of the light guide 42 during drop tests or vibration tests.
[0054] In addition, the receiving groove 4211 can also serve as a positioning device. When assembling the distance sensor, the distance sensor is first spot-welded onto the flexible circuit board 50, and the distance sensor is positioned using the receiving groove 4211. The distance sensor directly abuts against the inner wall of the receiving groove 4211, reducing the assembly tolerance between the distance sensor and the receiving groove 4211. Moreover, the distance sensor can be quickly and accurately installed in the receiving groove 4211, avoiding the need to constantly adjust the relative installation position of the distance sensor and the light guide 42 during assembly, thus improving assembly efficiency.
[0055] Furthermore, the first end of the light-incident section 422 is connected to the main body 421, and the second end of the light-incident section 422 is provided with a light-incident surface 4221, which is flush with the outer surface of the terminal device 100; the first end of the light-emitting section 423 is also connected to the main body 421, and the second end of the light-emitting section 423 is provided with a light-emitting surface 4231, which is flush with the outer surface of the terminal device 100.
[0056] Specifically, infrared rays from outside the terminal device 100 enter the light-receiving section 422 through the light-receiving surface 4221, and infrared rays emitted by the distance sensor are emitted to the outside of the terminal device 100 through the light-emitting surface 4231. The light-receiving surface 4221 and the light-emitting surface 4231 can be arc-shaped, flat, or wavy. The light-receiving surface 4221 and the light-emitting surface 4231 are flush with the outer wall of the terminal device 100 or match the shape of the outer wall of the terminal device 100, and are not limited here.
[0057] In addition, the light-incident section 422 is directly connected to the outside of the terminal device 100 through the light-incident surface 4221 and the light-emitting section 423 is directly connected to the outside of the terminal device 100 through the light-emitting surface 4231, which can reduce the width of the black border of the screen while ensuring the distance sensing function of the distance sensor.
[0058] In some embodiments, the receiving groove 4211 includes a light-transmitting surface 4212, which is the inner wall of the receiving groove 4211 opposite to the photosensitive surface of the distance sensor. The light-transmitting surface 4212 abuts against the photosensitive surface of the distance sensor and is parallel to the photosensitive surface of the distance sensor. Infrared rays emitted by the infrared emitting tube of the distance sensor enter the light guide 42 through the light-transmitting surface 4212, and the light received by the light guide 42 is transmitted to the infrared receiving tube through the light-transmitting surface 4212.
[0059] It should be noted that the shape of the receiving slot 4211 matches the shape of the distance sensor and is not limited to the square structure shown in the figure.
[0060] Furthermore, the light-transmitting surface 4212 is provided with a first light-transmitting hole and a second light-transmitting hole; the photosensitive surface of the distance sensor is provided with a transmitter and a receiver, the receiver corresponding to the first light-transmitting hole and the transmitter corresponding to the second light-transmitting hole.
[0061] Specifically, as described above, an infrared emitting tube is installed at the transmitting end, and an infrared receiving tube is installed at the receiving end. The infrared light emitted by the infrared emitting tube of the distance sensor, after entering the light-emitting section 423, passes sequentially through the second light-transmitting hole, the light-emitting reflector 425, and the light-emitting surface 4231 before being emitted to the outside of the terminal device 100. The external infrared light then passes sequentially through the light-incident surface 4221, the light-incident reflector 424, and the first light-transmitting hole before being received by the infrared receiving tube.
[0062] Aligning the second light-transmitting hole with the infrared emitting tube allows the infrared light emitted by the distance sensor to be focused and enter the light-emitting portion 423 of the light guide 42 as much as possible through the second light-transmitting hole, and then exit from the light-emitting surface 4231. The first light-transmitting hole allows the infrared light entering the light-receiving portion 422 to be received by the infrared receiving tube as much as possible when the first light-transmitting hole is aligned with the receiving end. Therefore, the first and second light-transmitting holes can improve the sensitivity and distance sensing function of the distance sensor.
[0063] In some embodiments, reflective material is provided at one or more of the following locations: the outer wall of the body 421 is provided with reflective material; the inner wall of the receiving groove 4211 of the body 421 is provided with reflective material except for the first light-transmitting hole and the second light-transmitting hole; the outer wall of the light-incident part 422 is provided with reflective material except for the light-incident surface 4221; the inner wall of the first mirror hole 4222 of the light-incident part 422 is provided with reflective material except for the locations corresponding to the first refractive surface 42221 and the second refractive surface 42222; the outer wall of the light-emitting part 423 is provided with reflective material except for the light-emitting surface 4231; the inner wall of the second mirror hole 4232 of the light-emitting part 423 is provided with reflective material except for the locations corresponding to the third refractive surface 42321 and the fourth refractive surface 42322.
[0064] Specifically, the reflective material can be silver, and a silver plating process can be applied. The outer wall of the main body 421 and the inner wall of the receiving groove 4211, except for the light-transmitting surface 4212 or the inner wall except for the first and second light-transmitting holes, are silver-plated. The outer wall of the light-entry section 422, except for the light-entry surface 4221, and the outer wall of the light-exiting section 423, except for the light-exiting surface 4231, are all silver-plated. The inner wall of the first mirror hole 4222, except for the inner wall corresponding to the first and second refractive surfaces 42222, is silver-plated. The inner wall of the second mirror hole 4232, except for the inner wall corresponding to the third and fourth refractive surfaces 42322, is silver-plated.
[0065] The infrared rays emitted by the infrared emitting tube of the distance sensor, after entering the light-emitting part 423, can sequentially pass through the second light-transmitting hole, the inner wall of the second mirror hole 4232 corresponding to the third refractive surface 42321, the light-emitting reflector 425, the inner wall of the second mirror hole 4232 corresponding to the fourth refractive surface 4232, and the light-emitting surface 4231 to be emitted to the outside, and are reflected on other surfaces of the light-emitting part 423, so that the infrared rays are conducted to the outside of the terminal device 100 as much as possible.
[0066] External infrared light can pass sequentially through the light-incident surface 4221, the inner wall of the first mirror hole 4222 corresponding to the second refractive surface 42222, the light-incident reflector 424, the inner wall of the first mirror hole 4222 corresponding to the first refractive surface 42221, and the first light-transmitting hole of the light-transmitting surface 4212, and is finally received by the infrared receiving tube, and reflected on other surfaces of the light-incident part 422.
[0067] By silvering the above-mentioned positions, the reflection of light by the silver surface can be utilized to reduce the loss of infrared optical energy caused by the infrared light emitted by the infrared emitter of the distance sensor not being parallel to the light-emitting part 423, or the infrared light received by the infrared receiver not being parallel to the light-receiving part 422, thereby improving the sensitivity and distance sensing function of the distance sensor.
[0068] For example Figures 3 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the light-incident portion 422 and the light-exit portion 423 are arranged side by side and spaced apart on the same surface of the body 421. Furthermore, the light-incident portion 422 and the light-exit portion 423 are arranged on the same side away from the light-transmitting surface 4212.
[0069] Specifically, the body 421 is provided with a first surface and a second surface. The opening of the receiving groove 4211 is provided on the first surface. The first end of the light-incident part 422 and the first end of the light-emitting part 423 are both inclinedly connected to the second surface of the body 421. The light-incident part 422 and the light-emitting part 423 are arranged side by side and spaced apart on the same side of the second surface of the body 421, that is, the light-incident part 422 and the light-emitting part 423 extend side by side in the same direction.
[0070] In this embodiment, the light-receiving portion 422 and the light-emitting portion 423 are inclined relative to the main body 421, thus making the light-receiving portion 422 and the light-emitting portion 423 inclined relative to the screen of the terminal device 100. However, in some embodiments, the second surface of the main body 421 can be perpendicular to the light-receiving portion 422 and the light-emitting portion 423. Since the second surface of the main body 421 is parallel to the light-transmitting surface 4212, the first surface, and the photosensitive surface of the distance sensor, the photosensitive surface of the distance sensor is also perpendicular to the light-receiving portion 422 and the light-emitting portion 423, ultimately enabling the distance sensor to receive and emit infrared light perpendicularly.
[0071] The light-incident portion 422 and the light-emitting portion 423 are tilted relative to the screen of the terminal device 100. In some other embodiments, the first surface, the second surface, the light-transmitting surface 4212 of the main body 421 and the photosensitive surface of the distance sensor are parallel to the screen of the terminal device 100. The light-incident portion 422 and the light-emitting portion 423 are tilted to the second surface of the main body 421. Therefore, the photosensitive surface of the distance sensor is also tilted relative to the light-incident portion 422 and the light-emitting portion 423.
[0072] Furthermore, the light-incident portion 422 and the light-emitting portion 423 have square cross-sections. In other embodiments, the cross-sections of the light-incident portion 422 and the light-emitting portion 423 may also be circular, trapezoidal, rhomboid, or any other shape. Additionally, in this embodiment, the light-incident portion 422 and the light-emitting portion 423 are straight columnar structures. In other embodiments, the light-incident portion 422 and the light-emitting portion 423 may be arc-shaped, wavy, or any other shape designed according to the stacking space or arrangement of the internal components of the terminal device 100; no limitation is made herein.
[0073] In some other embodiments, the light-incident section 422 and the light-emitting section 423 can be arranged adjacent to each other. In order to avoid interference between the emitted infrared rays and the received infrared rays, a light-shielding bracket (not shown in the figure) is provided between the light-incident section 422 and the light-emitting section 423. The light-shielding bracket is used to isolate the infrared rays of the light-incident section 422 and the light-emitting section 423, so as to avoid crosstalk between the infrared rays of the light-incident section 422 and the light-emitting section 423, thereby affecting the detection effect of the distance sensor.
[0074] In some embodiments, the body 421 of the light guide 42 is further provided with a first sealing rib 4213, which surrounds the receiving groove 4211.
[0075] Specifically, during assembly, the distance sensor is first fixedly connected to the flexible circuit board 50 by spot welding, and then the distance sensor is placed in the receiving groove 4211 of the body 421. At this time, the flexible circuit board 50 and the groove opening of the receiving groove 4211 of the body 421 are in contact.
[0076] The first sealing rib 4213 can be integrally formed with the body 421 of the light guide 42. The first sealing rib 4213 can undergo elastic deformation. Therefore, by setting the first sealing rib 4213 at the opening of the receiving groove 4211, the body 421 of the light guide 42 can be prevented from squeezing the flexible circuit board 50. It can also seal the receiving groove 4211 to prevent dust, sludge or external moisture from the flexible circuit board 50 from entering the receiving groove 4211 and damaging the distance sensor, thereby extending the service life of the distance sensor.
[0077] Furthermore, as can be seen from the above, after the terminal device 100 undergoes vibration and drop tests, the positions of the light guide 42 and the distance sensor are required to be relatively stable and fixed. Therefore, in related technologies, the light guide 42 is usually made of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) or nylon (PA) to form a relatively rigid structure. During assembly, the light guide 42 and the distance sensor may collide due to their dimensional tolerances or assembly tolerances, or due to the impact of the terminal device 100 during a drop. Therefore, in related technologies, the light guide 42 is often not in contact with the distance sensor and a gap is left. The gap will cause the sensor assembly 40 to occupy a large amount of space inside the terminal device 100.
[0078] To address this issue, in some embodiments, the light guide 42 is made of optical silicone and is black and transparent.
[0079] First, the light guide 42 is made of black transparent optical silicone material, which is softer than PMMA or PA material, allowing the light guide 42 to directly contact the distance sensor and avoiding damage to the distance sensor caused by the light guide 42 made of PMMA or PA material.
[0080] Secondly, since the light guide 42 does not need to avoid the distance sensor in the length, width and thickness directions, when the light guide 42 is used in conjunction with the distance sensor, it can greatly save the structural space of the motherboard and the top structural space of the terminal device 100.
[0081] Finally, the light guide 42 made of optical silicone material has good elasticity, which can effectively prevent the deformation of the light guide 42 during the drop of the terminal device 100, and avoid the problems of damage to the light guide 42 and the detachment of the distance sensor.
[0082] Furthermore, the light guide 42 is integrally formed by injection molding, that is, the body 421, the light-incident part 422, and the light-exiting part 423 are integrally formed. After the light guide 42 is formed by injection molding, the light-incident reflector 424 and the light-exit reflector 425 can be respectively inserted into the first mirror hole 4222 and the second mirror hole 4232.
[0083] In some embodiments, the sensor assembly 40 further includes a support portion 43, which is sleeved on the outside of the light guide 42. The support portion 43 of the sensor assembly 40 may be made of polycarbonate (PC) material, so that the support portion 43 can support the light guide 42, increasing the strength of the light guide 42 and preventing the light guide 42 from shaking or twisting during drop tests or vibration tests.
[0084] In this embodiment, the support portion 43 can be injection molded. After the support portion 43 is injection molded, the light guide 42 can be injection molded again within the support portion 43. Secondary injection molding is a process in which a certain plastic raw material is molded in a plastic mold in one step, the molded part is taken out and placed into a secondary molding mold to be injected with the same or another type of plastic material again.
[0085] The injection-molded support part 43 and the secondary injection-molded light guide 42 and support part 43 can make the connection between the support part 43 and the terminal device 100 more stable, the light guide 42 and the support part 43 fit better, and the support part 43 and the light guide 42 occupy less space. While ensuring strength, they can also save the internal structural space of the terminal device 100.
[0086] In some embodiments, the inner and / or outer surfaces of the support portion 43 are coated with a black opaque material. Specifically, all surfaces of the support portion 43 can be blackened to prevent light leakage and cross-contamination of the light guide 42. The silver plating of the light guide 42 and the blackening of the support portion 43 not only prevent light leakage and cross-contamination of the light guide 42, but also effectively prevent light generated by the screen from entering the light guide 42 and affecting the distance sensing function of the distance sensor.
[0087] Based on the same concept, this disclosure also provides a terminal device 100. The terminal device 100 may be a mobile phone, computer, digital broadcasting terminal, messaging device, game console, tablet device, medical device, fitness device, personal digital assistant, translator, and wearable devices such as watches and bracelets. In this embodiment, a mobile phone is used as an example of the terminal device 100.
[0088] Figure 6 This is a cross-sectional view illustrating a combination of a mid-frame and a screen trim piece according to an exemplary embodiment. (See example...) Figure 1 and Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the terminal device 100 includes a mid-frame 10, a screen trim 20, and a sensor assembly 40.
[0089] In some embodiments, at least one of the light-incident portion 422 and the light-emitting portion 423 of the sensor assembly 40 is inserted into the mid-frame 10 or the screen decorative element 20. Specifically, the light-incident portion 422 and the light-emitting portion 423 may both be inserted into the mid-frame 10; or both may be inserted into the screen decorative element 20; or the light-incident portion 422 may be inserted into the screen decorative element 20, and the light-emitting portion 423 may be inserted into the mid-frame 10; or the light-incident portion 422 may be inserted into the mid-frame 10, and the light-emitting portion 423 may be inserted into the screen decorative element 20.
[0090] In this embodiment, both the light-incident part 422 and the light-exit part 423 are inserted into the screen decoration part 20. Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram illustrating a combination of a mid-frame and a screen decorative element according to an exemplary embodiment. Specifically, as shown... Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a first mounting hole 11 is provided on the side of the middle frame 10 away from the screen assembly, and a fixing groove is provided on the side of the middle frame 10 closer to the screen assembly. The screen decorative piece 20 is fixed to one side of the middle frame 10 through the fixing groove. Furthermore, the screen decorative piece 20 is fixed in the fixing groove of the middle frame 10 by dispensing adhesive.
[0091] Figure 8 This is a structural diagram illustrating a mid-frame, screen trim, and screen assembly according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 6 and Figure 8 The screen decorative component 20 is provided with a second mounting hole 21 and a third mounting hole 22 that penetrate the screen decorative component 20 and communicate with the first mounting hole 11. The sensor assembly 40 includes a sensor 41, a light guide 42, and a support 43. The light guide 42 includes a body 421, a light-incident part 422, and a light-emitting part 423. Since the second mounting hole 21 and the third mounting hole 22 communicate with the first mounting hole 11, when the sensor assembly 40 is assembled with the middle frame 10 and the screen decorative component 20, the body 421 of the light guide 42 can be disposed in the first mounting hole 11, the light-incident part 422 can be disposed in the second mounting hole 21, and the light-incident surface 4221 can extend to the surface of the screen decorative component 20. The light-emitting part 423 can be disposed in the third mounting hole 22, and the light-emitting surface 4231 can extend to the surface of the screen decorative component 20 and be flush with the screen decorative component 20.
[0092] The light-inlet section 422 and the light-outlet section 423 obliquely penetrate the screen decorative member 20, and the light-inlet surface 4221 and the light-outlet surface 4231 are directly connected to the outside of the terminal device 100. This not only avoids the reduction of the width of the black border of the screen due to the width of the light guide member 42, but also avoids the loss of infrared optical energy during the emission and reception of infrared light by the sensor without having to pass through the screen. While narrowing the width of the black border of the screen, it can also ensure the distance sensing function of the sensor.
[0093] In this embodiment, when the light guide 42 is assembled with the support 43, the support 43 can be injection molded in the guide post hole of the middle frame 10 and the second mounting hole 21 and the third mounting hole 22 of the screen decoration 20. After the support 43 is formed, black transparent optical silicone is injected into the inside of the support 43 to form the light guide 42.
[0094] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6As shown, the terminal device 100 screen assembly 30 and the screen decorative part 20 are also provided with a mounting groove 23. The terminal device 100 also includes a screen assembly 30, which is fixed in the mounting groove 23 by a first adhesive. The first mounting hole 11, the second mounting hole 21 and the third mounting hole 22 are all spaced apart from the mounting groove 23 and are not connected, so that the light emitted or received by the sensor does not overlap with the screen assembly 30. This avoids the light from the screen from leaking to the light guide 42 and also avoids the light guide 42 from occupying the black border of the screen, thus reducing the screen ratio.
[0095] Therefore, it can be seen that since the screen assembly 30 needs to be fixedly connected to the screen decoration part 20 through the first adhesive, in the related technology, since the first mounting hole 11 is connected to the mounting groove 23, the first adhesive can easily overflow into the first mounting hole 11, thereby causing the first mounting hole 11 to narrow or even become blocked, thus affecting the measurement accuracy of the sensor.
[0096] In this disclosure, the light guide 42 is placed on the middle frame 10 and the screen decorative part 20, and the first mounting hole 11, the second mounting hole 21 and the third mounting hole 22 are not connected to the mounting groove 23, thereby avoiding the glue application area of the screen assembly 30 and the screen decorative part 20. This can fundamentally solve the problem that glue easily overflows into the first mounting hole 11, the second mounting hole 21 or the third mounting hole 22, causing the first mounting hole 11 to become narrow or blocked.
[0097] In addition, the first mounting hole 11, the second mounting hole 21 and the third mounting hole 22 are not connected to the mounting groove 23, and the silver plating of the light guide 42 and the black coating of the support part 43 can prevent the light generated by the screen from entering the light guide 42 and avoid the light from the screen from affecting the detection effect of the sensor.
[0098] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the screen assembly 30 includes an LED screen 31 and a cover plate 32. The screen decorative part 20 also includes an adhesive groove 24 in the mounting groove 23. The cover plate of the screen assembly 30 and the screen decorative part 20 are fixedly connected by applying a first adhesive in the adhesive groove 24.
[0099] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the terminal device 100 also includes a motherboard 60, a flexible circuit board 50, and a clamping component 70.
[0100] The flexible circuit board 50 is fixed to the middle frame 10 by the second adhesive 51 and is electrically connected to the sensor 41; the sensor 41 is fixed to the flexible circuit board 50 by spot welding and is also electrically connected. Specifically, during assembly, the sensor 41 is first fixedly connected to the flexible circuit board 50 by spot welding, and then the sensor 41 is placed in the receiving groove 4211 of the body 421. At this time, the flexible circuit board 50 is in contact with the opening of the receiving groove 4211 of the body 421 and the middle frame 10. Except for the part of the opening of the receiving groove 4211, the flexible circuit board 50 is fixedly connected to the middle frame 10 by the second adhesive 51.
[0101] The motherboard 60 is electrically connected to the flexible circuit board 50; for example... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the flexible circuit board 50 is electrically connected to the motherboard 60 via a spring contact 80 on the side opposite to the screen assembly 30.
[0102] The clamping member 70 is disposed between the flexible circuit board 50 and the main board 60. The first side of the clamping member 70 is fixed to the main board 60 by the third adhesive 71, and the second side of the clamping member 70 is pressed against the flexible circuit board 50.
[0103] The clamping component 70 can be made of silicone material. The clamping component 70 made of silicone material has good elasticity and can undergo elastic deformation. On the one hand, it will not damage the flexible circuit board 50 and the main board 60. On the other hand, the clamping component 70 made of silicone is wear-resistant and pressure-resistant, and has a long service life.
[0104] Furthermore, the motherboard 60 is also fixed to the middle frame 10. When the clamping member 70 is not compressed, the height of the clamping member 70 is greater than the distance between the motherboard 60 and the flexible circuit board 50. However, when the motherboard 60 is fixed to the middle frame 10, since the distance between the motherboard 60 and the flexible circuit board 50 is less than the height of the clamping member 70, the motherboard 60 will squeeze the clamping member 70, causing the second side of the clamping member 70 to press against the flexible circuit board 50, and causing the clamping member 70 to extend and deform in both directions parallel to or perpendicular to the screen.
[0105] When installing the motherboard 60, the motherboard 60 presses the flexible circuit board 50 with the clamping member 70, so that the flexible circuit board 50 is tightly attached to the middle frame 10 and the light guide 42. On the one hand, this can prevent the light guide 42 from shaking or loosening; on the other hand, it can also prevent the relative position between the sensor and the light guide 42 inside the light guide 42 from moving.
[0106] In some embodiments, a second sealing rib 72 is provided on the first side of the clamping member 70; and / or a second sealing rib 72 is provided on the second side of the clamping member 70. When the motherboard 60 presses the flexible circuit board 50 by the clamping member 70, the first sealing rib 4213 of the clamping member 70 can further increase the elasticity and sealing performance of the clamping member 70, and avoid pressure damage to the motherboard 60 and the flexible circuit board 50 by the clamping member 70.
