Abstract
Description
[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese Utility Model Patent Application No. 202222465895.9, filed with the State Intellectual Property Office of China on September 15, 2022, entitled "An Electronic Device", the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field
[0002] This application relates to the field of electronic product technology, and more particularly to an electronic device. Background Technology
[0003] With the development of technology, electronic devices such as mobile phones and tablets usually have built-in cameras. During the assembly of the camera inside the electronic device, pre-positioning in the XYZ directions is required to place the camera in a predetermined position within the electronic device.
[0004] In existing technologies, the camera body is typically positioned in conjunction with a host circuit board or mid-frame. This requires through-holes in the host circuit board, and the camera body has guide posts extending perpendicular to the host circuit board. These guide posts extend into the through-holes in the host circuit board for pre-positioning, and are combined with elastic arms or hooks on the camera body to limit the camera to the preset position. However, this method of creating holes in the host circuit board reduces the effective area available for placing other electronic components, leading to an increase in the amount of host circuit board used. Summary of the Invention
[0005] This application provides an electronic device for solving the problem of how to save the effective area for laying out electronic devices on a host circuit board.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the embodiments of this application adopt the following technical solutions:
[0007] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide an electronic device, which includes a first circuit board, a camera, and a connector. The first circuit board has a first surface. The camera is located on the side facing the first surface; the camera includes a camera body. The connector includes a fixing plate and a connecting portion. The fixing plate is located between the camera body and the first circuit board and is fixed to the first surface. The connecting portion is connected to the fixing plate and is located on the same side of the fixing plate as the camera body.
[0008] In some possible implementations of the first aspect, the electronic device further includes a housing, which includes a first wall panel having a light-transmitting portion. A first circuit board is disposed within the housing, with its first surface facing the first wall panel. A camera is disposed within the housing, with the light-incident surface of the camera body facing the light-transmitting portion. A connecting portion is located between a fixing plate and the first wall panel.
[0009] The electronic device provided in this application embodiment houses a camera within a casing. The first wall panel of the casing has a light-transmitting portion, and the light-incident surface of the camera body faces this portion, allowing light from external objects to pass through and enter the camera body, thus enabling the electronic device to capture external video or images. The camera is fixedly connected to a first circuit board via a connecting plate. The connecting portion of the connecting piece is connected to both the fixing plate and the camera body, allowing the connecting piece to confine the camera to a preset position within the electronic device, thereby ensuring both the camera's shooting function and the overall aesthetic appeal of the electronic device.
[0010] Furthermore, since the fixing plate of the connector is fixedly connected to the first surface of the first circuit board, the camera is located on the side of the first circuit board facing the first wall panel, and the connecting part is located between the fixing plate and the first wall panel, it is not necessary to open through holes on the first circuit board to achieve pre-positioning of the camera in the XYZ directions. This allows other electronic components of the electronic device to be placed on the surface of the first circuit board away from the first wall panel and the area corresponding to the camera, increasing the effective area of the first circuit board for placing other electronic components besides the camera, saving the amount of circuit board used, and reducing the overall cost of the electronic device.
[0011] In some possible implementations of the first aspect, the connecting part is detachably connected to the camera body.
[0012] In some possible implementations of the first aspect, the camera body includes a first side and a second side facing each other. The first side has a first groove. The connecting portion includes a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion, the first connecting portion engaging with the first groove; the second connecting portion contacting the second side. In this way, the engagement of the first connecting portion with the first groove enables Z-axis pre-positioning of the camera. The contact of the second connecting portion with the second side enables X-axis pre-positioning of the camera simultaneously. Furthermore, since the second connecting portion extends into the first groove, the size of the engagement structure between the connector and the bracket protruding from the side of the first side away from the second side is relatively small, thereby reducing the internal space occupied by the camera and the connector within the electronic device.
[0013] In some possible implementations of the first aspect, the first connecting portion includes a first connecting segment and a second connecting segment. The first connecting segment is connected to a fixed plate, and the second connecting segment is connected to the end of the first connecting segment away from the fixed plate. The second connecting segment is located within a first groove and contacts the side wall of the first groove near the first circuit board. The second connecting segment also contacts the bottom wall of the first groove, and / or the first connecting segment contacts a first side surface. In this way, the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion can simultaneously achieve X-axis pre-positioning of the camera, thereby ensuring the reliability of the X-axis pre-positioning of the camera by the connector.
[0014] In some possible implementations of the first aspect, the camera body further includes opposing third and fourth sides, with the third side connected to the first and second sides, and the fourth side connected to the first and second sides. There are two first grooves and two first connecting parts. The two first grooves are spaced apart along a direction parallel to the first circuit board and parallel to the first side; one first groove is close to and penetrates the third side, and the other first groove is close to and penetrates the fourth side. The second connecting segment of one first connecting part is located within one first groove and contacts the sidewall of that first groove away from the third side; the second connecting segment of the other first connecting part is located within the other first groove and contacts the sidewall of that other first groove away from the fourth side. In this way, the snap-fit structure formed by the two first connecting parts and the two first grooves can also achieve pre-positioning of the camera in the Y direction. Therefore, the connector can achieve pre-positioning of the camera in the XYZ directions, confining the camera to a preset position inside the electronic device.
[0015] In some possible implementations of the first aspect, the number of first grooves is one; the second connecting segment also contacts two sidewalls of the first groove that are spaced apart along a direction parallel to the first circuit board and the first side. In this way, the snap-fit structure formed by the first connecting part and the first groove can also achieve pre-positioning of the camera in the Y direction. Therefore, the connector can achieve pre-positioning of the camera in the XYZ directions, confining the camera to a preset position inside the electronic device.
[0016] In some possible implementations of the first aspect, the second side has a second groove; the second connecting portion includes a third connecting segment and a fourth connecting segment, the third connecting segment being connected to the fixing plate and contacting the second side; the fourth connecting segment is connected to the end of the third connecting segment away from the fixing plate, the fourth connecting segment being located within the second groove and contacting the side wall of the second groove near the first circuit board. In this way, the snap-fit structure of the fourth connecting segment and the second groove, combined with the snap-fit structure of the first connecting portion and the first groove, enables more reliable pre-positioning of the connector for the camera in the Z and X directions. Simultaneously, because the fourth connecting segment extends into the second groove, the size of the snap-fit structure protruding from the second side away from the first side is smaller, thus reducing the internal space occupied by the camera and connector within the electronic device.
[0017] In some possible implementations of the first aspect, the camera body further includes opposing third and fourth sides, with the third side connected to the first and second sides, and the fourth side connected to the first and second sides. A first groove penetrates the fourth side; a second groove also penetrates the fourth side. The second connecting segment of the first connecting part also contacts the sidewall of the first groove away from the fourth side; the fourth connecting segment of the second connecting part also contacts the sidewall of the second groove away from the fourth side. Thus, the snap-fit structure formed by the first connecting part and the first groove, and the snap-fit structure formed by the second connecting part and the second groove, combined with the contact between the first and second connecting parts and the sidewalls of their respective grooves away from the fourth side, allows the connector to achieve pre-positioning of the camera in the XYZ directions, confining the camera to a preset position inside the electronic device.
[0018] In some possible implementations of the first aspect, the camera body further includes opposing third and fourth sides, with the third side connected to the first and second sides, and the fourth side connected to the first and second sides. A first groove extends through the third and fourth sides; a second groove also extends through the third and fourth sides. In this way, the snap-fit structure between the first connecting part and the first groove, and the snap-fit structure between the second connecting part and the second groove, enables pre-positioning of the camera in the Z and X directions.
[0019] In some possible implementations of the first aspect, the connector further includes a third connecting portion that contacts a third side surface. This, combined with the contact between the third connecting portion and the third side surface of the bracket, enables pre-positioning of the camera in the Y direction, thereby confining the camera to a preset position within the electronic device.
[0020] In some possible implementations of the first aspect, the camera body includes opposing first and second sides; the first side has a first groove, and the second side has a second groove. The connecting portion includes a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion. The first connecting portion includes a first connecting segment connected to a fixing plate, and the second connecting portion includes a third connecting segment connected to the fixing plate. Along a direction away from the first surface, the sidewall of the first groove near the first circuit board gradually approaches the sidewall of the second groove near the first circuit board, and the first connecting segment and the third connecting segment gradually approach each other; wherein the first connecting segment contacts the sidewall of the first groove near the first circuit board, and the third connecting segment contacts the sidewall of the second groove near the first circuit board. In this way, the snap-fit structure formed by the first connecting portion and the first groove, and the snap-fit structure formed by the second connecting portion and the second groove, can achieve pre-positioning of the camera in the X and Z directions. Furthermore, the first connecting segment and the third connecting segment can provide clamping force to the camera body, making the pre-positioning of the camera by the connecting member more reliable.
[0021] In some possible implementations of the first aspect, the first connecting portion further includes a second connecting segment, which is connected to the end of the first connecting segment away from the fixing plate and curled away from the second connecting portion. The second connecting portion further includes a fourth connecting segment, which is connected to the end of the third connecting segment away from the fixing plate and curled away from the first connecting portion. In this way, the camera body and the connector can be snapped together in the Z-axis direction without requiring the first and second grooves to penetrate through the third or fourth side, facilitating the assembly of electronic devices.
[0022] In some possible implementations of the first aspect, the first connecting portion also contacts two sidewalls of the first groove that are spaced apart along a direction parallel to the first circuit board and the first side surface; and / or, the second connecting portion also contacts two sidewalls of the second groove that are spaced apart along a direction parallel to the first circuit board and the second side surface. In this way, the snap-fit structure formed by the first connecting portion and the first groove, and the snap-fit structure formed by the second connecting portion and the second groove, can also achieve pre-positioning of the camera in the Y direction. Therefore, the connector can achieve pre-positioning of the camera in the XYZ directions, confining the camera to a preset position inside the electronic device.
[0023] In some possible implementations of the first aspect, the camera body further includes opposing third and fourth sides, with the third side connected to the first and second sides, and the fourth side connected to the first and second sides. The connecting portion also includes a third connecting portion and a fourth connecting portion, with the third connecting portion contacting the third side and the fourth connecting portion contacting the fourth side. In this way, the snap-fit structure between the fifth connecting portion and the sixth groove, and the snap-fit structure between the sixth connecting portion and the seventh groove, enables pre-positioning of the camera in the Z and X directions. Combined with the contact between the third connecting portion and the third side of the bracket, and the contact between the fourth connecting portion and the fourth side of the bracket, pre-positioning of the camera in the Y direction can be achieved, thereby confining the camera to a preset position inside the electronic device.
[0024] In some possible implementations of the first aspect, the camera body further includes opposing third and fourth side surfaces, with the third side surface connected to the first and second side surfaces, and the fourth side surface connected to the first and second side surfaces. The third side surface has a third groove, and the fourth side surface has a fourth groove. The connecting portion further includes a third connecting portion and a fourth connecting portion. The third connecting portion includes a fifth connecting segment connected to a fixing plate; the fourth connecting portion includes a seventh connecting segment connected to the fixing plate. Along the direction away from the first surface, the sidewall of the third groove near the first circuit board gradually approaches the sidewall of the fourth groove near the first circuit board, and the fifth connecting segment and the seventh connecting segment gradually approach each other; wherein the fifth connecting segment contacts the sidewall of the third groove near the first circuit board, and the seventh connecting segment contacts the sidewall of the fourth groove near the first circuit board. In this way, the snap-fit structure formed by the third connecting portion and the third groove, and the snap-fit structure formed by the fourth connecting portion and the fourth groove, combined with the snap-fit structure formed by the first connecting portion and the first groove, and the snap-fit structure formed by the second connecting portion and the second groove, can achieve pre-positioning of the camera in the XYZ directions. In addition, the third and fourth connecting sections can provide clamping force to the camera body, making the pre-positioning of the connectors on the camera more reliable.
[0025] In some possible implementations of the first aspect, the third connecting portion further includes a sixth connecting segment, which connects to the end of the fifth connecting segment away from the fixing plate and curls away from the fourth connecting portion. The fourth connecting portion further includes an eighth connecting segment, which connects to the end of the seventh connecting segment away from the fixing plate and curls away from the third connecting portion. This allows the camera body to be snapped onto the connector in the Z-axis direction, facilitating the assembly of electronic equipment.
[0026] In some possible implementations of the first aspect, the surface of the camera body near the first circuit board has a fifth groove, the fifth groove having opposing first and second inner sidewalls, the first inner sidewall having a sixth groove, and the second inner sidewall having a seventh groove. The connecting portion includes a fifth connecting portion and a sixth connecting portion, the fifth connecting portion engaging with the sixth groove, and the sixth connecting portion engaging with the seventh groove. In this way, the engaging structure formed by the fifth connecting portion and the sixth groove, and the engaging structure formed between the sixth connecting portion and the seventh groove, can achieve at least pre-positioning of the camera in the X and Z directions, i.e., limiting the camera's displacement along the Z-axis and along the X-axis.
[0027] In some possible implementations of the first aspect, the fixing plate has a first opening. The fifth and sixth connecting portions are respectively connected to two opposite edges of the first opening. In this way, the connecting parts can be processed efficiently and in large quantities by stamping the sheet metal to form the first opening and bending and rolling the material at the original first opening to form the fifth and sixth connecting portions.
[0028] In some possible implementations of the first aspect, thermally conductive adhesive is present in the first opening, and this adhesive is in contact with the first circuit board and the camera body. In this way, the thermally conductive adhesive can both secure the camera, the first circuit board, and the connectors, and conduct heat from the camera's module circuit board to the first circuit board, facilitating heat dissipation for the camera and ensuring its shooting performance.
[0029] In some possible implementations of the first aspect, the connector is a metal connector, and the connector is a one-piece molded part. In this way, the connector can be formed by bending, rolling, and other processing of thin-walled plates using stamping processes. This allows for efficient and large-scale processing of the connectors, and the operation process is convenient.
[0030] In some possible implementations of the first aspect, the connector is welded to the first surface.
[0031] In some possible implementations of the first aspect, the camera body includes a camera module and a bracket. The bracket is positioned around and connected to the camera module; a connector is connected to the bracket. This way, only the connection structure between the bracket and the connector needs to be designed, eliminating the need to design a connection structure between the camera module and the connector, allowing the camera module to be used in different types of electronic devices.

The middle plate 23 divides the aforementioned internal accommodating space into two independent spaces. One space is located between the light-transmitting cover 11 and the middle plate 23, and the display screen 12 is located within this space. The other space is located between the middle plate 23 and the back cover 21, and the first circuit board 30 and the camera 40 are accommodated within this space. It should be noted that the entire structure formed by the middle plate 23 and the frame 22 is also referred to as the middle frame. In some other embodiments, the back cover 20 may not include the middle plate 23.
[0075] The first circuit board 30 can be a host circuit board or other circuit boards. The first circuit board 30 is fixed inside the electronic device 100 and is stacked and spaced apart from the back cover 21. In some embodiments, please refer to... Figure 2 The first circuit board 30 is located between the middle plate 23 and the back cover 21, and is fixed on the middle plate 23.

[0076] The first circuit board 30 can be a rigid circuit board, a flexible circuit board, or a rigid-flex circuit board. The first circuit board 30 can use an FR-4 dielectric substrate, a Rogers dielectric substrate, or a hybrid dielectric substrate of FR-4 and Rogers, etc. Here, FR-4 is a designation for a flame-retardant material grade, and Rogers dielectric substrate is a high-frequency board. The first circuit board 30 is used to mount electronic components and establish electrical connections between them. These electronic components can be, for example, a central processing unit (CPU), a graphics processing unit (GPU), universal flash storage (UFS), an earpiece, and a flash module, etc.
[0077] Camera 40 is located on the side of the first circuit board 30 facing the back cover 21 (first wall panel). Camera 40 is used to capture video or images. Camera 40 includes, but is not limited to, a main camera, a wide-angle camera, and a telephoto camera, and the structural form of camera 40 includes, but is not limited to, upright and periscope types. Please continue reading. Figure 2The camera 40 includes a camera body 41, an electrical connection terminal 42, and a flexible electrical connection structure 43. The camera body 41 is the main body for capturing video or images. The camera body 41 has a light-incident surface, which can be the light-incident surface of the optical lens inside the camera body 41. The light-incident surface of the camera body 41 faces the back cover 21 (first wall panel). The back cover 21 has a light-transmitting portion 211, which can be a light-transmitting window formed on the back cover 21. In some embodiments, the back cover 21 may include a back cover body 212 and a camera decorative element 213. The back cover body 212 has a mounting opening 2121, and the camera decorative element 213 is fixed within the mounting opening 2121. The light-transmitting portion 211 is disposed on the camera decorative element 213. The light-incident surface of the camera body 41 faces the light-transmitting portion 211, allowing light from external objects to pass through the light-transmitting portion 211 and enter the camera body 41, thereby enabling the capture of external video or images from the electronic device.
[0078] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 3 for Figure 2 The diagram shows a partial cross-sectional view of the electronic device 100 at point AA. In some embodiments, the camera body 41 includes a camera module 411 and a bracket 412. The camera module 411 includes a module circuit board 4111, a photosensitive chip 4112, a support frame 4113, a lens assembly 4114, and a filter 4115. The photosensitive chip 4112 can also be called an image sensor or a photosensitive element. The photosensitive chip 4112 can be used to collect ambient light and convert the image information carried by the ambient light into electrical signals.
[0079] The module circuit board 4111 can be a rigid circuit board, a flexible circuit board, or a rigid-flex circuit board. The module circuit board 4111 can use an FR-4 dielectric board, a Rogers dielectric board, or a hybrid dielectric board of Rogers and FR-4.
[0080] The photosensitive chip 4112 is fixed on the module circuit board 4111. The photosensitive chip 4112 is also electrically connected to the module circuit board 4111. In this way, the photosensitive chip 4112 can receive signals from the module circuit board 4111 and can also send signals to the module circuit board 4111.
[0081] The support frame 4113 can be fixed to the module circuit board 4111 by means of glue or tape. The support frame 4113 and the photosensitive chip 4112 can be located on the same side of the module circuit board 4111. Based on this, the support frame 4113 has a first light-transmitting hole 4113a. The first light-transmitting hole 4113a passes through the support frame 4113. The photosensitive chip 4112 is positioned directly opposite the first light-transmitting hole 4113a.
[0082] The lens assembly 4114 can be fixed to the side of the support frame 4113 away from the module circuit board 4111 by means of glue or tape. At this time, the photosensitive chip 4112 is located on the light-emitting side of the lens assembly 4114. Ambient light can be imaged onto the photosensitive chip 4112 through the first light-transmitting hole 4113a of the lens assembly 4114 and the support frame 4113.
[0083] The filter 4115 is fixed to the support frame 4113 and is located at the first light-transmitting hole 4113a. The filter 4115 is located on the light-emitting side of the lens assembly 4114 and is positioned opposite to the photosensitive chip 4112. At this time, the filter 4115 is located between the lens assembly 4114 and the photosensitive chip 4112. For example, the filter 4115 can be fixed to the wall of the first light-transmitting hole 4113a or the opening edge of the first light-transmitting hole 4113a facing the lens assembly 4114 using glue or tape. In this way, the filter 4115 can be used to filter stray light from the ambient light passing through the lens assembly 4114, thereby ensuring that the image captured by the camera module 411 has better clarity. The filter 4115 can be, but is not limited to, a blue glass filter.
[0084] The lens assembly 4114 includes a motor 4114a and a lens 4114b. The motor 4114a is arranged around the lens 4114b, with a portion of the lens 4114b located inside the motor 4114a and a portion extending outside the motor 4114a. The motor 4114a drives the lens 4114b to move along the optical axis (i.e., the Z-axis) of the camera module 4111 to adjust the focal length of the lens 4114b. The lens 4114b is used to image ambient light onto the image sensor 4112.
[0085] Specifically, motor 4114a can be a voice coil motor or a shape memory alloy (SMA) motor, and this application does not limit it in this regard.
[0086] In other embodiments, the lens assembly 4114 may also exclude the motor 4114a, that is, the lens assembly 4114 is a fixed-focus lens.
[0087] Based on the above, the bracket 412 can be annular, and the lens assembly 4114 can be disposed within the inner cavity of the bracket 412. In some embodiments, the bracket 412 can be manufactured using a two-color injection molding process, i.e., by injection molding two plastics with different hardnesses into the same mold, wherein the hardness of the sidewall near the inner cavity is less than that of the rest, thereby improving the assembly performance of the bracket 412. Furthermore, the outer peripheral wall of the camera body 41 and the inner peripheral wall of the bracket 412 are interference-fitted to mount and fix the camera body 41 onto the bracket 412.
[0088] In some examples, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 for Figure 2 The schematic diagram of the camera 40 in the electronic device 100 shown indicates that the bracket 412 may include a first sidewall 4121 and a second sidewall 4122 that are opposite to and spaced apart, and a third sidewall 4123 and a fourth sidewall 4124 that are opposite to and spaced apart. The first sidewall 4121, the second sidewall 4122, the third sidewall 4123 and the fourth sidewall 4124 enclose the inner cavity of the bracket 412. Figure 4 In the illustrated embodiment, the first sidewall 4121 and the second sidewall 4122 are arranged along the X-axis, and the third sidewall 4123 and the fourth sidewall 4124 are distributed along the Y-axis. In this embodiment, the surface of the first sidewall 4121 away from the second sidewall 4122 is defined as the first sidewall 4121a, the surface of the second sidewall 4122 away from the first sidewall 4121 is defined as the second sidewall 4122a, the surface of the third sidewall 4123 away from the fourth sidewall 4124 is defined as the third sidewall 4123a, and the surface of the fourth sidewall 4124 away from the third sidewall 4123a is defined as the fourth sidewall 4124a. The third sidewall 4123a is connected to the first sidewall 4121a and the second sidewall 4122a, and the fourth sidewall 4124a is connected to the first sidewall 4121a and the second sidewall 4122a. Of course, in other embodiments, the first sidewall 4121, the second sidewall 4122, the third sidewall 4123 and the fourth sidewall 4124 may also be arranged in other directions, and this application does not limit this.
[0089] In other embodiments, the bracket 412 may not be ring-shaped, and the bracket 412 may also be fixed to the outer periphery of the camera body 41 by means of glue or tape.
[0090] Based on the above, please refer back to the previous section. Figure 3To enable signal transmission between the camera 40 and the first circuit board 30, the electrical connection terminal 42 of the camera 40 is fixed and electrically connected to the first circuit board 30. A flexible electrical connection structure 43 is connected between the camera body 41 and the electrical connection terminal 42 to achieve signal connection between the camera body 41 and the electrical connection terminal 42. Specifically, the flexible electrical connection structure 43 can penetrate the bracket 412 and connect between the module circuit board 4111 and the electrical connection terminal 42, so that the module circuit board 4111 and the first circuit board 30 are electrically connected, thereby enabling signal transmission between the module circuit board 4111 and the first circuit board 30. The flexible electrical connection structure 43 includes, but is not limited to, an FPC or a structure formed by braiding wires and flexible materials; this application does not specifically limit its application in this regard.
[0091] In the above embodiments, since the flexible electrical connection structure 43 is a flexible structure, the position of the camera body 41 relative to the first circuit board 30 is not fixed when the electrical connection terminal 42 is fixed on the first circuit board 30. Therefore, it is necessary to use other structures to limit the position of the camera body 41 to fix the camera body 41 in a preset position within the electronic device 100, thereby fixing the camera 40 in the preset position within the electronic device 100. For example, the preset position is one that ensures that the optical axis of the lens 4114b is approximately collinear with the central axis of the light-transmitting portion 211 on the back cover 21, so as to ensure the shooting function of the camera 40 and the overall appearance and refinement of the electronic device 100.
[0092] Based on the above, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 for Figure 2 The schematic diagram shows a partial structure of the electronic device 100. To limit the position of the camera body 41, the electronic device 100 also includes a connector 50. The connector 50 includes a fixing plate 51 and a connecting portion 52. The fixing plate 51 is located between the camera body 41 and the first circuit board 30, and is fixedly connected to the first surface 31 of the first circuit board 30.
[0093] The fixing plate 51 is a thin flat plate, stacked on top of the first circuit board 30, and can be attached to the first surface of the first circuit board 30. The camera body 41 is located on the side of the fixing plate 51 away from the first circuit board 30 and is in contact with the fixing plate 51, which provides support for the camera body 41. In other embodiments, the fixing plate 51 may have other shapes, and the camera body 41 may not be in contact with the fixing plate 51.
[0094] Based on this, the connecting part 52 is connected to the fixing plate 51 and located between the fixing plate 51 and the back shell 21 (first wall panel). In some examples, the connecting part 52 can be connected to the outer edge of the fixing plate 51, that is, the connecting part 52 extends from the edge of the fixing plate 51 towards the back shell 21 (first wall panel). In other examples, the connecting part 52 can also be connected to the surface of the fixing plate 51 facing the back shell 21 (first wall panel). Based on this, the connecting part 52 is connected to the camera body 41. The connecting part 52 can be fixedly connected to the camera body 41 to ensure the reliability of the camera body 41 being fixed inside the electronic device 100. The connecting part 52 can also be detachably connected to the camera body 41, for example, the connecting part 52 can be snapped to the camera body 41 or connected by a threaded connector. Specifically, the connecting part 52 is connected to the bracket 412 so that the camera module 411 can form a universal component suitable for different models of electronic devices 100. It should be noted that in other embodiments, the camera 40 may not include the bracket 412, and the connector 50 may be connected to other components in the camera body 41. For example, the connector 50 may be connected to the housing of the motor 4114a.
[0095] In some embodiments, the connector 50 is a metal connector, and the material of the connector 50 includes, but is not limited to, iron, aluminum, copper, and steel. This provides the connector 50 with sufficient strength to confine the camera 40 to a preset position inside the electronic device 100, and also allows the connector 50 to be fixed to the first surface 31 of the first circuit board 30 by welding. This facilitates the simultaneous welding of the connector 50 and other electronic components inside the electronic device 100 onto the first circuit board 30, improving the processing and assembly efficiency of the electronic device 100. Furthermore, the connector 50 is a one-piece molded part. Specifically, the connector 50 can be formed by bending and rolling thin-walled sheet metal using a stamping process. This allows for efficient and large-scale processing of the connector 50, and the operation is convenient.
[0096] In other embodiments, the connector 50 may also be made of other materials. For example, the connector 50 may be made of high-hardness plastic, formed by injection molding, and fixed to the first surface 31 of the first circuit board 30 by glue or tape.
[0097] In summary, the electronic device 100 provided in this application, by placing the camera 40 inside a housing, with a light-transmitting portion 211 on the back cover 21 (first wall panel) of the housing, and the light-incident surface of the camera body 41 of the camera 40 facing the light-transmitting portion 211, allows light from external objects to pass through the light-transmitting portion 211 and enter the camera body 41, thereby enabling the electronic device 100 to capture external video or images. The camera 40 is fixedly connected to the first circuit board 30 via a fixing plate of a connector 50. The connecting portion 52 of the connector 50 is connected to the fixing plate 51 and to the camera body 41, allowing the connector 50 to confine the camera 40 to a preset position inside the electronic device 100, thus ensuring the shooting function of the camera 40 and the overall aesthetic refinement of the electronic device 100.
[0098] Furthermore, since the fixing plate 51 of the connector 50 is fixedly connected to the first surface 31 of the first circuit board 30, the camera 40 is located on the side of the first circuit board 30 facing the back shell 21 (first wall panel), and the connecting part 52 is located between the fixing plate 51 and the back shell 21 (first wall panel), it is not necessary to open through holes in the first circuit board 30 to achieve pre-positioning of the camera 40 in the XYZ directions. This allows the area of the surface of the first circuit board 30 away from the back shell 21 (first wall panel) and corresponding to the camera 40 to be used to arrange other electronic components of the electronic device 100, increasing the effective area of the first circuit board 30 for arranging other electronic components besides the camera 40, saving the amount of circuit board used, and reducing the overall cost of the electronic device 100.
[0099] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, details the various connection structures between the connector 50 and the camera body 41.
[0100] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , Figure 6 for Figure 5 The schematic diagram of a portion of the structure of the electronic device 100 shown is from another perspective. The first side surface 4121a of the bracket 412 has a first groove 4121b. Specifically, the length direction of the first groove 4121b is parallel to the Y-axis, the width direction of the first groove 4121b is parallel to the Z-axis, and the depth direction of the first groove 4121b is parallel to the X-axis. That is, the groove wall of the first groove 4121b that is in contact with the first side surface 4121a is a side wall, and the groove wall of the first groove 4121b that is opposite to the first side surface 4121a is a bottom wall.
[0101] Based on this, the connecting portion 52 includes a first connecting portion 521 and a second connecting portion 522. The first connecting portion 521 engages with the first groove 4121b. The second connecting portion 522 contacts the second side surface 4122a of the bracket 412. Figure 5 and Figure 6 In the illustrated embodiment, the second connecting portion 522 is flat and perpendicular to the fixing plate 51, and is in contact with the second side 4122a of the bracket 412. In this way, the first connecting portion 521 and the second connecting portion 522 can at least achieve pre-positioning of the camera 40 in the Z and X directions, that is, restrict the displacement of the camera 40 along the Z-axis and the displacement along the X-axis.
[0102] Specifically, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 7 , Figure 7 for Figure 5 The schematic diagram of the connector 50 in the electronic device 100 shows that the first connecting part 521 includes a first connecting segment 5211 and a second connecting segment 5212. The first connecting segment 5211 is connected to the fixing plate 51. Specifically, the first connecting segment 5211 is connected to the outer edge of the fixing plate 51. The second connecting segment 5212 is connected to the end of the first connecting segment 5211 away from the fixing plate 51. The second connecting segment 5212 is located in the first groove 4121b and contacts the side wall of the first groove 4121b near the first circuit board 30. Figure 5 and Figure 7 In the embodiment shown, the first groove 4121b is parallel to the side wall of the first circuit board 30 near the first circuit board 30. The first connecting segment 5211 and the second connecting segment 5212 are both flat. The first connecting segment 5211 is perpendicular to the fixing plate 51, and the second connecting segment 5212 is parallel to the first circuit board 30 and extends from the first connecting segment 5211 toward the bottom wall of the first groove 4121b.
[0103] In this way, the contact area between the second connecting segment 5212 and the sidewall of the first groove 4121b can be maximized, ensuring the reliability of the engagement between the first connecting part 521 and the first groove 4121b, and thus ensuring the reliability of the Z-axis pre-positioning of the connector 50 with the camera 40. Furthermore, since the second connecting segment 5212 extends into the interior of the first groove 4121b, and the first connecting segment 5211 is flat, the size of the engagement structure between the connector 50 and the bracket 412 protruding from the side of the first side 4121a away from the second side 4122a is relatively small, thereby reducing the space occupied by the camera 40 and the connector 50 within the electronic device 100.
[0104] Based on this, the second connecting segment 5212 contacts the bottom wall of the first groove 4121b. Alternatively, the first connecting segment 5211 contacts the first side surface 4121a. Or, the second connecting segment 5212 contacts the bottom wall of the first groove 4121b, and the first connecting segment 5211 contacts the first side surface 4121a. In this way, the first connecting portion 521 and the second connecting portion 522 can simultaneously achieve X-axis pre-positioning of the camera 40, thereby ensuring the reliability of the X-axis pre-positioning of the camera 40 by the connector 50.
[0105] In this embodiment, the electrical connection terminal 42 of the camera 40 can be located on the side of the second side 4122a of the bracket 412 away from the first side 4121a. In this case, a clearance opening is provided on the second connection portion 522 to allow the flexible electrical connection structure 43 to pass through. In this way, the first connection portion 521 can also resist the top force exerted on the camera body 41 by the deformation of the flexible electrical connection structure 43, preventing the camera body 41 from rotating around the Y-axis.
[0106] In other embodiments, the second connecting segment 5212 may also be in a curled shape. The second connecting segment 5212 is located in the first groove 4121b and curls away from the first connecting segment 5211 in a direction away from the second side 4122a. In this way, the camera body 41 and the connector 50 can be snapped together in the Z-axis direction, which facilitates the assembly of the electronic device 100.
[0107] There are various quantities and structural forms of the first groove 4121b and the first connecting part 521.
[0108] In some embodiments, please continue reading Figure 5 and Figure 7 There are two first grooves 4121b and two first connecting portions 521. The two first grooves 4121b are spaced apart along a direction parallel to the first circuit board 30 and parallel to the first side surface 4121a, i.e., spaced apart along the Y-axis. One first groove 4121b is close to and penetrates the third side surface 4123a, and the other first groove 4121b is close to and penetrates the fourth side surface 4124a; that is, the bottom wall of one first groove 4121b is in contact with the third side surface 4123a, and the bottom wall of the other first groove 4121b is in contact with the fourth side surface 4124a. Furthermore, the second connecting segment 5212 of one first connecting portion 521 is located within one first groove 4121b and contacts the side wall of the first groove 4121b that is away from the third side surface 4123a. The second connecting segment 5212 of the other first connecting portion 521 is located in another first groove 4121b and contacts the side wall of the other first groove 4121b away from the fourth side surface 4124a.
[0109] In this way, the snap-fit structure formed by the two first connecting parts 521 and the two first grooves 4121b can also achieve the pre-positioning of the camera 40 in the Y direction, that is, restrict the displacement of the camera 40 along the Y axis. Therefore, the connector 50 can achieve the pre-positioning of the camera 40 in the XYZ directions, and restrict the camera 40 to a preset position inside the electronic device 100.
[0110] In other embodiments, please refer to Figure 8 , Figure 8 The diagram shows a partial structural representation of an electronic device 100 provided in other embodiments of this application. The number of first grooves 4121b is one. The second connecting segment 5212 of the first connecting portion 521 also contacts two sidewalls of the first groove 4121b that are spaced apart along a direction parallel to the first circuit board 30 and the first side surface 4121a. That is, the second connecting segment 5212 of the first connecting portion 521 also contacts two sidewalls of the first groove 4121b that are spaced apart along the Y-axis. In this way, the snap-fit structure formed by the first connecting portion 521 and the first groove 4121b can also achieve pre-positioning of the camera 40 in the Y-direction, i.e., restricting the displacement of the camera 40 along the Y-axis. Therefore, the connector 50 can achieve pre-positioning of the camera 40 in the X, Y, and Z directions, confining the camera 40 to a preset position inside the electronic device 100.
[0111] Figure 8 In the illustrated embodiment, there is one first connecting portion 521, and the two side edges of the first connecting portion 521 distributed along the Y direction respectively contact the two side walls of the first groove 4121b. Specifically, the length of the first connecting portion 521 along the Y-axis direction can be greater than or equal to 1 / 3 of the length of the first side surface 4121a along the Y-axis direction.
[0112] In other embodiments, the number of first connecting portions 521 may also be two, spaced apart along the Y-axis, with the mutually distant side edges of the two first connecting portions 521 respectively contacting the two sidewalls of the first groove 4121b. This application does not limit the number of first connecting portions 521.
[0113] Based on the engagement of the first connecting portion 521 with the first groove 4121b on the first side surface 4121a, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 , Figure 9 This is a partial structural schematic diagram of an electronic device 100 provided in some embodiments of this application. Figure 10 for Figure 9The schematic diagram of another view of a portion of the structure of the electronic device 100 shown indicates that the second side surface 4122a has a second groove 4122b. Specifically, the length direction of the second groove 4122b is parallel to the Y-axis, the width direction of the second groove 4122b is parallel to the Z-axis, and the depth direction of the second groove 4122b is parallel to the X-axis. That is, the groove wall of the second groove 4122b that connects with the second side surface 4122a is a side wall, and the groove wall of the second groove 4122b that is opposite to the second side surface 4122a is a bottom wall.
[0114] Based on this, please refer to Figure 11 , Figure 11 for Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram of the connector 50 in the electronic device 100. The second connecting portion 522 includes a third connecting segment 5221 and a fourth connecting segment 5222. The third connecting segment 5221 is connected to the fixing plate 51 and contacts the second side surface 4122a. Specifically, the third connecting segment 5221 is connected to the outer edge of the fixing plate 51. The fourth connecting segment 5222 is connected to the end of the third connecting segment 5221 away from the fixing plate 51. The fourth connecting segment 5222 is located in the second groove 4122b and contacts the side wall of the second groove 4122b near the first circuit board 30. Figures 9-11 In the embodiment shown, the second groove 4122b is parallel to the side wall of the first circuit board 30 near the first circuit board 30. The third connecting segment 5221 and the fourth connecting segment 5222 are both flat. The third connecting segment 5221 is perpendicular to the fixing plate 51, and the fourth connecting segment 5222 is parallel to the first circuit board 30 and extends from the third connecting segment 5221 toward the bottom wall of the second groove 4122b.
[0115] In this way, the contact area between the fourth connecting segment 5212 and the side wall of the second groove 4122b can be maximized, ensuring the reliability of the engagement between the second connecting segment 522 and the second groove 4122b. Combined with the engagement structure between the first connecting segment 521 and the first groove 4121b, the pre-positioning of the connector 50 with the camera 40 in the Z and X directions can be made more reliable. At the same time, since the fourth connecting segment 5222 extends into the interior of the second groove 4122b and the third connecting segment 5221 is flat, the size of the engagement structure between the connector 50 and the bracket 412 protruding from the side of the second side 4122a away from the first side 4121a is small, thereby reducing the space occupied by the camera 40 and the connector 50 inside the electronic device 100.
[0116] The first groove 4121b and the second groove 4122b mentioned above can penetrate at least one of the third side 4123a and the fourth side 4124a, so as to facilitate the sliding assembly of the camera body 41 onto the connector 50 along the Y-axis direction.
[0117] In some embodiments, please continue reading Figures 9-11 The first groove 4121b penetrates the fourth side surface 4124a, meaning the bottom wall of the first groove 4121b is in contact with the fourth side surface 4124a. The second groove 4122b penetrates the fourth side surface 4124a, meaning the bottom wall of the second groove 4122b is in contact with the fourth side surface 4124a. The second connecting segment 5212 of the first connecting portion 521 also contacts the side wall of the first groove 4121b away from the fourth side surface 4124a. The fourth connecting segment 5222 of the second connecting portion 522 also contacts the side wall of the second groove 4122b away from the fourth side surface 4124a. In this embodiment, the electrical connection terminal 42 of the camera 40 can be located on the side of the fourth side surface 4124a of the bracket 412 away from the third side surface 4123a.
[0118] In this way, the snap-fit structure formed by the first connecting part 521 and the first groove 4121b, and the snap-fit structure formed by the second connecting part 522 and the second groove 4122b, combined with the top force provided by the flexible electrical connection structure 43 of the camera 40, can also achieve the pre-positioning of the camera 40 in the Y direction. Therefore, the connector 50 can achieve the pre-positioning of the camera 40 in the XYZ directions, and restrict the camera 40 to a preset position inside the electronic device 100.
[0119] Please see Figure 11 The number of first connecting portions 521 can be multiple, spaced apart along the Y-axis. The first connecting portion 521 furthest from the fourth side surface 4124a also contacts the sidewall of the first groove 4121b that is away from the fourth side surface 4124a. Similarly, the number of second connecting portions 522 can also be multiple, spaced apart along the Y-axis. The second connecting portion 522 furthest from the fourth side surface 4124a also contacts the sidewall of the second groove 4122b that is away from the fourth side surface 4124a. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 12 , Figure 12 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the connector 50 provided in some embodiments of this application. The number of the first connecting part 521 and the second connecting part 522 can be one. This application does not limit the number of the first connecting part 521 and the second connecting part 522 in this embodiment.
[0120] In other embodiments, please refer to Figure 13 and Figure 14 , Figure 13 This is a partial structural schematic diagram of an electronic device 100 provided in some embodiments of this application. Figure 14 for Figure 13The schematic diagram of the connector 50 in the electronic device 100 shows that the first groove 4121b penetrates the third side 4123a and the fourth side 4124a. The second groove 4122b also penetrates the third side 4123a and the fourth side 4124a. It can be understood that the bottom wall of the first groove 4121b is in contact with the third side 4123a and the fourth side 4124a, and the bottom wall of the second groove 4122b is also in contact with the third side 4123a and the fourth side 4124a.
[0121] The connector 50 also includes a third connecting portion 523, which contacts the third side surface 4123a. In this embodiment, the electrical connection terminal 42 of the camera 40 can be located on the side of the fourth side surface 4124a of the bracket 412 away from the third side surface 4123a. Figure 14 In the illustrated embodiment, the third connecting portion 523 is flat and perpendicular to the fixing plate 51, fitting against the third side surface 4123a of the bracket 412. In other embodiments, the third connecting portion 523 may also have other shapes, which are not limited in this application. In this way, the snap-fit structure between the first connecting portion 521 and the first groove 4121b, and the snap-fit structure between the second connecting portion 521 and the second groove 4122b, can achieve pre-positioning of the camera 40 in the Z and X directions. Combined with the contact between the third connecting portion 523 and the third side surface 4123a of the bracket 412, and the top force provided by the deformation of the flexible electrical connection structure 43 of the camera 40, pre-positioning of the camera 40 in the Y direction can be achieved, thereby confining the camera 40 to a preset position inside the electronic device 100.
[0122] In other embodiments, please refer to Figure 15 , Figure 15 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the connector 50 provided in some embodiments of this application. The fourth connecting segment 5222 of the second connecting portion 522 can also be curled in shape, just like the second connecting segment 5212 of the first connecting portion 521. The second connecting segment 5212 is located within the first groove 4121b and curls away from the first connecting segment 5211 in a direction away from the second side surface 4122a. The fourth connecting segment 5222 is located within the second groove 4122b and curls away from the third connecting segment 5221 in a direction away from the first side surface 4121a. In this way, the camera body 41 and the connector 50 can be snapped together in the Z-axis direction without requiring the first groove 4121b and the second groove 4122b to penetrate through the third side surface 4123a or the fourth side surface 4124a, facilitating the assembly of the electronic device 100.
[0123] The connector 50 can also be snapped into the bracket 412 by means of a flexible snap to improve the reliability of the pre-positioning of the camera 40.
[0124] Specifically, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 16 and Figure 17 , Figure 16 This is a partial structural schematic diagram of an electronic device 100 provided in some embodiments of this application. Figure 17 for Figure 16 The schematic cross-sectional view of the electronic device 100 at point BB shows that, along the direction near the back cover 21 (first wall panel), the sidewall of the first groove 4121b near the first circuit board 30 gradually approaches the sidewall of the second groove 4122b near the first circuit board 30, and the first connecting segment 5211 of the first connecting portion 521 and the third connecting segment 5221 of the second connecting portion 522 gradually approach each other (e.g., ...). Figure 18 (As shown). That is, along the direction close to the back cover 21 (first wall panel), the distance between the side wall of the first groove 4121b near the first circuit board 30 and the side wall of the second groove 4122b near the first circuit board 30 gradually decreases, and the distance between the first connecting segment 5211 of the first connecting portion 521 and the third connecting segment 5221 of the second connecting portion 522 gradually decreases. This distance is the distance along the X-axis direction.
[0125] In this embodiment, the sidewalls of the first groove 4121b and the second groove 4122b near the first circuit board 30 are both inclined planes. The angle between the inclined planes and the first circuit board 30 is greater than or equal to 45° and less than 90°. For example, the angle between the inclined planes and the first circuit board 30 is 45°, 75°, or 85°. Both the first connecting segment 5211 and the third connecting segment 5221 are flat. In some examples, when the camera body 41 is not assembled onto the connector 50: the angle between the first connecting segment 5211 and the fixing plate 51 is slightly smaller than the angle between the sidewall of the first groove 4121b near the first circuit board 30 and the first circuit board 30; the angle between the third connecting segment 5221 and the fixing plate 51 can be slightly smaller than the angle between the sidewall of the second groove 4122b near the first circuit board 30 and the first circuit board 30. Here, "slightly smaller" means the difference between the two angles is approximately 10°.
[0126] Based on this, when the camera body 41 is assembled onto the connector 50, the first connecting segment 5211 contacts the side wall of the first groove 4121b near the first circuit board 30, and the third connecting segment 5221 contacts the side wall of the second groove 4122b near the first circuit board 30. In this way, the snap-fit structure formed by the first connecting segment 521 and the first groove 4121b, and the snap-fit structure formed by the second connecting segment 522 and the second groove 4122b, can achieve pre-positioning of the camera 40 in the X and Z directions. Furthermore, the first connecting segment 5211 and the third connecting segment 5221 can provide clamping force to the camera body 41, making the pre-positioning of the camera 40 by the connector 50 more reliable.
[0127] In other embodiments, the sidewalls of the first groove 4121b near the first circuit board 30 and the sidewalls of the second groove 4122b near the first circuit board 30 may also be curved surfaces. The first connecting segment 5211 and the third connecting segment 5221 may also have other shapes.
[0128] Based on the above embodiments, please continue to refer to Figure 17 and Figure 18 , Figure 18 for Figure 16 The schematic diagram of the connector 50 in the electronic device 100 shows that the first connecting portion 521 further includes a second connecting segment 5212, which is connected to the end of the first connecting segment 5211 away from the fixing plate 51 and curled away from the second connecting portion 522. The second connecting portion 522 also includes a fourth connecting segment 5222, which is connected to the end of the third connecting segment 5221 away from the fixing plate 51 and curled away from the first connecting portion 521. In this way, the camera body 41 and the connector 50 can be snapped together from the Z-axis direction without limiting the first groove 4121b and the second groove 4122b to penetrate the third side 4123a or the fourth side 4124a, which facilitates the assembly of the electronic device 100.
[0129] Based on the above embodiments, please continue to refer to Figure 16 and Figure 17 The first connecting portion 521 also contacts two sidewalls of the first groove 4121b that are spaced apart along a direction parallel to the first circuit board 30 and the first side surface 4121a. Alternatively, the second connecting portion 522 also contacts two sidewalls of the second groove 4122b that are spaced apart along a direction parallel to the first circuit board 30 and the second side surface 4122a. Alternatively, the first connecting portion 521 also contacts two sidewalls of the first groove 4121b that are spaced apart along a direction parallel to the first circuit board 30 and the first side surface 4121a, and the second connecting portion 522 also contacts two sidewalls of the second groove 4122b that are spaced apart along a direction parallel to the first circuit board 30 and the second side surface 4122a.
[0130] In this way, the snap-fit structure formed by the first connecting part 521 and the first groove 4121b, and the snap-fit structure formed by the second connecting part 522 and the second groove 4122b, can also achieve the pre-positioning of the camera 40 in the Y direction. Therefore, the connector 50 can achieve the pre-positioning of the camera 40 in the XYZ directions, and restrict the camera 40 to a preset position inside the electronic device 100.
[0131] In some examples, please refer to Figure 16 and Figure 18The number of first connecting portions 521 is one, and the two side edges of the first connecting portion 521 distributed along the Y direction contact the two side walls of the first groove 4121b, respectively. Specifically, the length of the first connecting portion 521 along the Y-axis can be greater than or equal to 1 / 3 of the length of the first side surface 4121a along the Y-axis. Similarly, the number of second connecting portions 522 is one, and the two side edges of the second connecting portion 522 distributed along the Y direction contact the two side walls of the second groove 4122b, respectively. Specifically, the length of the second connecting portion 522 along the Y-axis can be greater than or equal to 1 / 3 of the length of the second side surface 4122a along the Y-axis. In other examples, the number of first connecting portions 521 can also be two, spaced apart along the Y-axis, with the mutually distant side edges of the two first connecting portions 521 contacting the two side walls of the first groove 4121b, respectively. Similarly, the number of second connecting portions 522 can also be two, spaced apart along the Y-axis, with the mutually distant side edges of the two second connecting portions 522 respectively contacting the two side walls of the second groove 4122b. This application does not limit the number of first connecting portions 521 and second connecting portions 522.
[0132] In the above embodiments, the connector 50 is snapped onto the outer side of the bracket 412. The connector 50 can also be snapped onto other parts of the bracket 412.
[0133] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 19 and Figure 20 , Figure 19 This is a partial cross-sectional schematic diagram of an electronic device 100 provided in some embodiments of this application. Figure 20 for Figure 19 The schematic diagram of the connector 50 in the electronic device 100 shows that the camera body 41 has a fifth groove 4125 on the surface near the first circuit board 30. The fifth groove 4125 has opposing first and second inner sidewalls. The first inner sidewall has a sixth groove 4121d, and the second inner sidewall has a seventh groove 4122d. In this embodiment, the fifth groove 4125 is an opening of the annular bracket 412 facing the first circuit board 30. The first inner sidewall of the fifth groove 4125 can be the surface of the first sidewall 4121 of the bracket 412 facing the inner cavity of the bracket 412, and the second inner sidewall can be the surface of the second sidewall 4122 of the bracket 412 facing the inner cavity of the bracket 412. In other embodiments, the first and second inner sidewalls can also be the surfaces of other sidewalls of the bracket 412 facing the inner cavity of the bracket 412.
[0134] Based on this, the connecting portion 52 includes a fifth connecting portion 525 and a sixth connecting portion 526. The fifth connecting portion 525 engages with the sixth groove 4121d, and the sixth connecting portion 526 engages with the seventh groove 4122d. In this embodiment, the fifth connecting portion 525 includes a ninth connecting segment 5251 and a tenth connecting segment 5252. The ninth connecting segment 5251 is connected to the fixing plate 51, and the tenth connecting segment 5252 is connected to the end of the ninth connecting segment 5251 away from the fixing plate 51 and is curled. The sixth connecting portion 526 includes an eleventh connecting segment 5261 and a twelfth connecting segment 5262. The eleventh connecting segment 5261 is connected to the fixing plate 51, and the twelfth connecting segment 5262 is connected to the end of the eleventh connecting segment 5261 away from the fixing plate 51 and is curled. In this way, the camera body 41 and the connector 50 can be snapped together from the Z-axis direction, so that the snapping structure formed by the fifth connecting part 525 and the sixth groove 4121d, and the snapping structure formed between the sixth connecting part 526 and the seventh groove 4122d can achieve at least the pre-positioning of the camera 40 in the X and Z directions, that is, restrict the displacement of the camera 40 along the Z-axis direction and the displacement along the X-axis direction.
[0135] In some examples, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 19 and Figure 20 In the direction near the back cover 21 (first wall panel), the ninth connecting segment 5251 and the eleventh connecting segment 5261 gradually move away from each other. The side wall of the sixth groove 4121d near the first circuit board 30 and the side wall of the seventh groove 4122d near the first circuit board 30 gradually move away from each other. The ninth connecting segment 5251 abuts against the side wall of the sixth groove 4121d near the first circuit board 30, and the eleventh connecting segment 5261 abuts against the side wall of the seventh groove 4122d near the first circuit board 30. The tenth connecting segment 5252 curls towards the sixth connecting portion 526, and the twelfth connecting segment 5262 curls towards the fifth connecting portion 525. That is, the connector 50 is also snapped into the bracket 412 by a spring-loaded buckle.
[0136] In other examples, please refer to Figure 21 , Figure 21 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the connector 50 provided in some embodiments of this application. The ninth connecting segment 5251 and the eleventh connecting segment 5261 are perpendicular to the fixing plate 51, and the tenth connecting segment 5252 and the twelfth connecting segment 5262 are curled away from each other. Among them, the ninth connecting segment 5251 is in contact with the first inner sidewall, the tenth connecting segment 5252 is in contact with the sidewall of the sixth groove 4121d near the first circuit board 30, the eleventh connecting segment 5261 is in contact with the second inner sidewall, and the twelfth connecting segment 5262 is in contact with the sidewall of the seventh groove 4122d near the first circuit board 30.
[0137] In some embodiments, please refer back to the reference. Figure 19 and Figure 20 The fixing plate 51 has a first opening 511. The fifth connecting part 525 and the sixth connecting part 526 are respectively connected to two opposite edges of the first opening 511. In this way, the first opening 511 can be formed by stamping the sheet metal, and the material at the original first opening 511 can be bent and rolled to form the fifth connecting part 525 and the sixth connecting part 526, so that the connecting parts 50 can be processed efficiently and in large quantities.
[0138] Based on this, the first opening 511 contains thermally conductive adhesive, which contacts the first circuit board 30 and the camera body 41. Specifically, the thermally conductive adhesive contacts the first circuit board 30 and the module circuit board 4111 of the camera body 41. In this way, the thermally conductive adhesive can both fix the camera 40, the first circuit board 30, and the connector 50, and conduct the heat from the module circuit board 4111 of the camera 40 to the first circuit board 30, facilitating heat dissipation for the camera 40 and ensuring the shooting effect of the camera 40.
[0139] In the above embodiment, the Y-direction pre-positioning of the camera 40 is achieved by the sidewall of the groove on the bracket 412 contacting the corresponding connecting part 521. The connecting member 50 can also achieve the Y-direction pre-positioning of the camera 40 through other structural forms.
[0140] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 22 , Figure 22This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the connector 50 provided in some embodiments of this application. The connector 52 further includes a third connector 523 and a fourth connector 524. The third connector 523 contacts the third side surface 4123a of the bracket 412, and the fourth connector 524 contacts the fourth side surface 4124a of the bracket 412. In this way, the snap-fit structure between the fifth connector 525 and the sixth groove 4121d, and the snap-fit structure between the sixth connector 526 and the seventh groove 4122d, enables pre-positioning of the camera 40 in the Z and X directions. Combined with the contact between the third connector 523 and the third side surface 4123a of the bracket 412, and the contact between the fourth connector 524 and the fourth side surface 4124a of the bracket 412, pre-positioning of the camera 40 in the Y direction can be achieved, thereby confining the camera 40 to a preset position inside the electronic device 100. In other embodiments, when the first connecting part 521 engages with the first groove 4121b at the first side 4121a of the bracket 412 and the second connecting part 522 contacts the second side 4122a of the bracket 412, the third connecting part 523 can also contact the third side 4123a of the bracket 412 and the fourth connecting part 524 can contact the fourth side 4124a of the bracket 412 to achieve pre-positioning of the camera 40 in the XYZ directions, thereby confining the camera 40 to a preset position inside the electronic device 100.
[0141] In other embodiments, please refer to Figure 23 , Figure 23This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the connector 50 provided in some embodiments of this application. The third side 4123a has a third groove (not shown in the figure), and the fourth side 4124a has a fourth groove (not shown in the figure). The connecting portion 52 also includes a third connecting portion 523 and a fourth connecting portion 524. The third connecting portion 523 includes a fifth connecting segment 5231, which is connected to the fixing plate 51. The fourth connecting portion 524 includes a seventh connecting segment 5241, which is connected to the fixing plate 51. Specifically, the fifth connecting segment 5231 is connected to the outer edge of the fixing plate 51, and the seventh connecting segment 5241 is connected to the outer edge of the fixing plate 51. Along the direction close to the back cover 21 (first wall panel), the side wall of the third groove near the first circuit board 30 gradually approaches the side wall of the fourth groove near the first circuit board 30, and the fifth connecting segment 5231 and the seventh connecting segment 5241 gradually approach each other. Specifically, the fifth connecting segment 5231 abuts against the side wall of the third groove near the first circuit board 30, and the seventh connecting segment 5241 abuts against the side wall of the fourth groove near the first circuit board 30. That is, the fixing plate 51 and the third connecting part 523 and the fourth connecting part 524 also form an elastic snap-fit structure. The principle of the elastic snap-fit engaging with the bracket 412 is similar to the elastic snap-fit formed by the fixing plate 51 and the first connecting part 521 and the second connecting part 522 mentioned above, and will not be described again here.
[0142] In this way, the snap-fit structure formed by the third connecting part 523 and the third groove, and the snap-fit structure formed by the fourth connecting part 524 and the fourth groove, combined with the snap-fit structure formed by the first connecting part 521 and the first groove 4121b, and the snap-fit structure formed by the second connecting part 522 and the second groove 4122b, can achieve pre-positioning of the camera 40 in the XYZ directions. Furthermore, the third connecting segment 5231 and the fourth connecting segment 5241 can provide clamping force to the camera body 41, making the pre-positioning of the camera 40 by the connector 50 more reliable.
[0143] Based on the above, please continue to refer to... Figure 23 The third connecting portion 523 further includes a sixth connecting segment 5232, which is connected to the end of the fifth connecting segment 5231 away from the fixing plate 51 and curls away from the fourth connecting portion 524. The fourth connecting portion 524 further includes an eighth connecting segment 5242, which is connected to the end of the seventh connecting segment 5241 away from the fixing plate 51 and curls away from the third connecting portion 523. In this way, the camera body 41 and the connector 50 can be snapped together in the Z-axis direction, facilitating the assembly of the electronic device 100.
[0144] The above embodiments are illustrated by taking the example of a groove provided on the bracket 412 and the connecting part of the connector 50 engaging with the corresponding groove. It should be noted that in other embodiments, the connecting part 52 may also have a groove, and the bracket 412 may engage with the groove on the connecting part 52.
[0145] In the description of this specification, specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.
[0146] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features.
