The shape and size of the molded body are adapted to the shape and size of the cavity. The cover has a receiving space, and the molded body is received within the receiving space.

[0088] This application also provides a method for introducing fluid.

[0089] The following describes some embodiments of this application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0090] Please see also Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments, the inlet device 10 includes a first mold 11 and a second mold 12, which are closable. When closed, the first mold 11 and the second mold 12 are used to clamp the product 20 to which the fluid is to be introduced between them. The product 20 can be a display panel, touch panel, mid-frame, glass cover, or back cover of an electronic device. The first mold 11 includes a body 111, which includes a groove 1111, an inlet hole 1112, and a flexible protrusion 1113. The groove 1111 is used to form a cavity 10a for containing fluid with the product 20. The inlet hole 1112 communicates with the groove 1111 and is used to introduce fluid into the cavity 10a. The fluid can be solidified and molded onto the product 20. The flexible protrusion 1113 protrudes along at least a portion of the sidewall of the groove 1111 in a direction away from the bottom of the groove 1111. The flexible protrusion 1113 is used to abut against the surface of the product 20 to seal the cavity 10a.

[0091] In this embodiment, the structure with grooves formed on the body 111 can be integrally formed with the flexible protrusion, or it can be an independent and connected component with the flexible protrusion.

[0092] In this embodiment, the groove 1111 is circumferentially arranged, and the flexible protrusion 1113 is circumferentially arranged along the bottom wall of the groove 1111, so that the final molded body is arranged in a ring along the periphery of the product 20. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the groove 1111 can be one or more, and the multiple grooves 1111 are interconnected.

[0093] In this embodiment, the inlet hole 1112 penetrates the side of the body 111 opposite to the groove 1111 to communicate with the groove 1111. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the inlet hole 1112 may also be provided on the side of the body 111.

[0094] In this embodiment, the fluid injected into the cavity 10a can be an injection molding liquid (colloid) that can eventually be cured into a plastic, such as epoxy resin, or other substances that can be cured and bonded to the product 20.

[0095] In this embodiment, the flexible protrusion 1113 can be made of materials such as plastic or silicone.

[0096] In the aforementioned inlet device 10, a flexible protrusion 1113 is provided on the side of the main body 111 facing the product 20. The flexible protrusion 1113 can abut against the surface of the product 20 so that the cavity 10a formed by the groove 1111 and the product 20 is a sealed cavity. During operation, the fluid used to form the molded body enters the sealed cavity 10a through the inlet hole 1112, which can prevent the fluid from overflowing from the side of the cavity 10a when the fluid is introduced, thereby improving the quality of the molded body. In addition, since the molded body can be adapted to the shape and size of the groove 1111, and since the molded body is formed through a sealed cavity, the problems of incomplete dispensing or difficulty in control in the prior art will not occur, thus improving the waterproof performance of the product 20.

[0097] Please see Figure 3 In some embodiments, product 20 includes a first surface 21 and a side surface 22, the side surface 22 being connected to the first surface 21, a flexible protrusion 1113 for abutting the side surface 22, and a groove 1111 and at least a portion of the first surface 21 for forming a cavity 10a.

[0098] Please see Figure 2 The first mold body 11 also includes a mold base 112, which is located on the side of the body 111 away from the product 20 and connected to the body 111. The surface of the mold base 112 on the side opposite to the body 111 has a harder surface than the body 111.

[0099] Specifically, the fluid injected into the cavity 10a will exert a certain force on the body 111 due to shrinkage and solidification. The surface of the mold base 112 on the side opposite to the body 111 has a higher hardness than the body 111, which can reduce the deformation of the body 111 and is conducive to better clamping the product 20 when the first mold 11 and the second mold 12 are closed.

[0100] In this embodiment, the mold base 112 includes a base 1121 and a rigid member 1122. The rigid member 1122 is located between the base 1121 and the body 111, and is connected to the body 111. The rigid member 1122 is detachably connected to the base 1121, and the hardness of the rigid member 1122 is greater than that of the body 111. In this embodiment, the rigid member 1122 is made of metal.

[0101] In this way, the rigid component 1122 is detachably connected to the base 1121, which facilitates the replacement of the main body 111 and increases the applicability of the mold base 112.

[0102] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, the rigid member 1122 has a rigid protrusion 1122a at the position relative to the flexible protrusion 1113, and the flexible protrusion 1113 has a recess that matches the rigid protrusion 1122a at the position relative to the rigid protrusion 1122a. The rigid protrusion 1122a is embedded in the flexible protrusion 1113.

[0103] Thus, the rigid protrusion 1122a and the flexible protrusion 1113 form an interlocking structure, improving the connection stability between the rigid member 1122 and the body 111. Furthermore, the rigid protrusion 1122a helps to increase the force with which the flexible protrusion 1113 abuts against the surface of the product 20, thereby further enhancing the airtightness of the cavity 10a formed by the body 111 and the surface of the product 20. In other embodiments, the rigid member 1122 may not include the rigid protrusion 1122a.

[0104] Please see also Figure 2 and Figure 4 The second mold body 12 is used to close the mold with the first mold body 11. The second mold body 12 has a cavity 12a for accommodating the product 20 on one side opposite to the first mold body 11. The flexible protrusion 1113 is also used to abut against the side wall of the cavity 12a. The second mold body 12 also includes a floating member 121 located in the cavity 12a, which is used to support the product 20.

[0105] In this embodiment, the mold cavity 12a is used to accommodate one product 20. In other embodiments, the mold cavity can also be configured to accommodate multiple products, thereby allowing liquid to be introduced into multiple products simultaneously. In this case, the structure of the corresponding first mold body also changes according to the change in the structure of the mold cavity.

[0106] In this embodiment, the second mold body 12 further includes a support base 122, which includes a support plate 1221, a support handle 1222, and a support column 1223. There are two support handles 1222, which are respectively connected to opposite sides of the support plate 1221. There are multiple support columns 1223, which are respectively connected to the side of the support plate 1221 away from the first mold body 11 and located between the two support handles 1222. The mold cavity 12a is formed on the side of the support plate 1221 facing the first mold body 11. The floating component 121 includes a floating plate 1211 and an elastic component 1212. The floating plate 1211 is movably connected to the support base 122 and is used to support the product 20. The elastic component 1212 is disposed between the floating plate 1211 and the support base 122, and the two ends of the elastic component 1212 abut against the bottom wall of the floating plate 1211 and the mold cavity 12a, respectively. The floating plate 1211 is movably connected to the support base 122 by a pin 123.

[0107] In this embodiment, a floating plate 1211 is provided in the second mold 12 so that the first mold 11 and the second mold 12 are less likely to cause damage to the product 20 when they are closed.

[0108] In this embodiment, the elastic element 1212 is a plurality of evenly distributed springs.

[0109] Please see Figure 3 In some embodiments, the cross-sectional area of ​​the flexible protrusion 1113 gradually decreases along the direction away from the bottom of the groove 1111. Thus, the bottom end of the flexible protrusion 1113 away from the bottom of the groove 1111 forms a transitional structure. During operation, this transitional structure can gradually support the side surface 22 of the product 20, reducing damage to the product 20. It also helps improve the sealing of the cavity 10a, preventing adhesive overflow after fluid is introduced.

[0110] In some embodiments, a reinforcing member 13 is further provided within the groove 1111. One end of the reinforcing member 13 is bent toward the product 20, and the reinforcing member 13 is used to form a fluid on the product 20. In this embodiment, the other end of the reinforcing member 13 is connected to the bottom wall or side wall of the groove 1111, and the reinforcing member 13 is made of metal.

[0111] Thus, the strength of the reinforcing member 13 is greater than that of the cured fluid, and at least a portion of the reinforcing member 13 is located in the cured fluid, which can improve the strength of the cured fluid.

[0112] In some embodiments, the infeeding device 10 further includes two locking handles 14, one end of each locking handle 14 being rotatably connected to the mold base 112, and the other end of each locking handle 14 being used to press the support base 122 of the second mold body 12. When the first mold body 11 is placed on the product 20 located on the floating member 121, the locking handles 14 are rotated to lock and fix the first mold body 11 and the second mold body 12.

[0113] The operation process of the aforementioned import device 10 is roughly as follows:

[0114] First, loosen the locking handle 14 to separate the first mold 11 and the second mold 12 of the inlet device 10, and support the support column 1223 of the second mold 12 on the working surface. Then, manually or by means of a robot, place the product 20 on the floating plate 1211 of the second mold 12.

[0115] Then, the first mold 11 is placed on top of the second mold 12, and the locking handle 14 is locked to compact the product 20, forming a cavity 10a. Fluid is injected into the cavity 10a using an injection device (e.g., an injection molding machine or a dispensing machine) and cooled and solidified so that the injected fluid forms a molded body attached to the product 20.

[0116] Finally, loosen the locking handle 14 to separate the first mold 11 and the second mold 12, remove the product 20, and the molded body is solidified on the product 20.

[0117] Please see Figure 5 Another embodiment of this application provides a panel structure 30, which includes a panel 31 and a molded body 32. The molded body 32 is disposed on the panel 31 and is formed by introducing fluid through the inlet device 10 of any of the above embodiments. The shape and size of the molded body 32 are adapted to the shape and size of the cavity 10a. The panel 31 may include a display panel, touch panel, or cover glass of an electronic device, or a back cover of an electronic device, etc. Furthermore, the panel structure 30 in this embodiment may be as described above. Figure 1 and Figure 2 One of the products described in product 20.

[0118] The molded body 32 in the panel structure 30 is formed by introducing fluid through the inlet device 10 of any of the above embodiments. The molded body 32 is formed in the sealed cavity 10a of the inlet device 10. During the molding process, no excess fluid overflows from the molded body 32, so that the molded body 32 will not produce excess burrs, protrusions, etc., reducing the correction work for excess burrs, protrusions, etc. generated in the molded body 32, thereby simplifying the operation difficulty of the panel structure 30 with the molded body 32 and reducing the production cost of the panel structure 30.

[0119] The panel structure 30 also includes a reinforcing member 33, one end of which is located inside the molded body 32 and bent toward the panel 31. In this embodiment, the other end of the reinforcing member 33 is connected to the bottom wall or side wall of the groove 1111, and the reinforcing member 33 is made of metal.

[0120] Thus, the strength of the reinforcing member 33 is greater than that of the molded body 23 formed by the fluid, and at least a portion of the reinforcing member 33 is located within the molded body 32, thereby improving the strength of the molded body 32. In other embodiments, the panel structure 30 may also not include the reinforcing member 33.

[0121] Please see also Figure 6 and Figure 7 Another embodiment of this application provides a terminal 40, which includes a panel 41, a molded body 42, and a cover 43. The terminal 40 can be an electronic product such as a mobile phone, tablet, or smartwatch. The molded body 42 is disposed on the panel 41 and is formed by introducing fluid through the inlet device 10 of any of the above embodiments. The shape and size of the molded body 42 are adapted to the shape and size of the cavity 10a. The cover 43 has a receiving space 431, and the molded body 42 is received within the receiving space 431.

[0122] In this embodiment, the panel 41 can be a display panel, touch panel, mid-frame, glass cover, etc. of an electronic product, and the cover 43 can be a combination of the mid-frame and the back cover in the terminal 40, or a shell structure with an opening for configurable panel 41.

[0123] The molded body 42 in the terminal 40 is formed by introducing fluid into the panel 41 through the inlet device 10 of any of the above embodiments. The molded body 42 is formed in the sealed cavity 10a of the inlet device 10. During the molding process, no excess fluid overflows from the molded body 42, so that the molded body 42 will not produce excess burrs, protrusions, etc., reducing the correction work for excess burrs, protrusions, etc. generated in the molded body 42, thereby simplifying the operation difficulty of the terminal 40 with the molded body 42 and reducing the production cost of the terminal 40.

[0124] In addition, a molded body 42 is formed on the panel 41. The molded body 42 can be adapted to the shape and size of the groove 1111 in the infeeding device 10, which will not cause the problem of insufficient glue dispensing or difficulty in control in the prior art, thereby improving the waterproof performance of the terminal 40.

[0125] Furthermore, since the terminal 40 includes a molded body 42 located between the panel 41 and the cover 43, the shape and size of the molded body 42 are adapted to the shape and size of the groove 1111, resulting in a more stable structure and improved drop resistance of the terminal 40.

[0126] In some embodiments, the terminal 40 further includes a reinforcing member 44, one end of which is located within the molded body 42 and bent toward the panel 41. In this embodiment, the other end of the reinforcing member 44 is connected to the bottom wall or side wall of the groove 1111, and the reinforcing member 44 is made of metal.

[0127] Thus, the strength of the molded body 42 can be improved by the reinforcement 44.
