Detailed Implementation

[0021] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0022] Electronic devices, including those with flip-out displays (such as LCD screens), are particularly susceptible to interference from rain and electromagnetic interference when operating outdoors. This presents technical challenges, such as poor waterproofing due to rain and electromagnetic interference, and difficulty in sealing the hinge area of ​​the flip-out screen. This invention provides an electronic device with a waterproof joint structure. This designed waterproof joint structure effectively protects the waterproof seal of the electronic device and effectively avoids the effects of electromagnetic interference.

[0023] It should be noted that in this invention, the upper surface of the object or device in the accompanying drawings is considered the front, and the lower surface is considered the back. The center of the object or device is considered the center. The left side of the object or device is considered the left side, and the right side is considered the right side. The upper side of the object or device is considered the upper side, and the lower side is considered the lower side. This is only for clearer illustration of the waterproof joint structure of this invention and should not be construed as a limitation of the invention. To ensure that electronic devices can function normally in outdoor environments, it is necessary to ensure the cavity is sealed in the structural design. Electronic devices with flip screens need to improve waterproof sealing while ensuring hinge rotation and electromagnetic shielding. This invention solves the above problems through a designed waterproof joint structure.

[0024] Reference Figures 1 to 11 The present invention provides an electronic device with a waterproof joint structure.

[0025] Figure 1 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the electronic device with a waterproof joint structure according to the present invention.

[0026] See Figure 1 The electronic device 100 of the present invention includes a display screen 11 (see details). Figure 1and Figure 8 The components include: a display module 10 with a display screen 11 installed; a host unit (not shown); a host module 20 housing the host unit; a hinge assembly for connecting the display module 10 and the host module 20; and a cable guide block 40 that mates with the hinge assembly. The hinge assembly includes a hinge seat 33. A waterproof joint structure is provided at the mating connection between the hinge assembly and the cable guide block 40. The waterproof joint structure includes a waterproof seal 70 and a stepped mating portion 42 that mates with the waterproof seal 70. The stepped mating portion 42 is formed at one end of the cable guide block 40 near the hinge seat 33 (see details). Figure 4 ).

[0027] from Figure 1 As can be seen from the image, the hinge assembly includes a pair of hinge seats. The cable guide block 40 includes a first cable guide block and a second cable guide block sandwiched between the pair of hinge seats. The first cable guide block and the second cable guide block are located in the central area of ​​the connection portion between the display module 10 and the host module 20.

[0028] Specifically, the stepped mating part 42 of the first guide block and one of the pair of rotating shaft seats (specifically located at...) Figure 1 The mating gap formed between the pivot seat 33 on the left side of the middle, and the stepped mating part of the second wire guide block and the other of the pair of pivot seats (specifically located at the left side of the middle pivot seat 33) Figure 1 The fitting gap formed between the right-side pivot seat 33 and the pivot seat 33.

[0029] In this example, since the first wire guide block and the second wire guide block have the same structure, the structure of the first wire guide block will be described in detail below, while the description of the second wire guide block will be omitted.

[0030] Specifically, the stepped mating portion 42 of the first wire guide block includes a first mating surface and a second mating surface connected to the first mating surface. A first groove is formed on the first mating surface, which is used to accommodate the waterproof seal. In other words, the waterproof seal is sealed in the mating gap formed between the stepped mating portion 42 of the first wire guide block and the rotating shaft seat 33 located on the left side.

[0031] Preferably, the waterproof seal is a nitrile rubber sealing ring.

[0032] It should be noted that, in Figure 1In the example, a waterproof joint structure is provided at the mating connection part between the pivot assembly and the wire guide block 40 (including the first wire guide block on the left and the second wire guide block on the right) (specifically, the mating connection part between the pivot seat 33 on the left and the first wire guide block, and the mating connection part between the pivot seat 33 on the right and the second wire guide block). However, it is not limited to this. For example, the mating connection part between the front panel and the rear panel of the display module 10, the mating connection part between the lower end face of the display module 10 and the wire guide block 40 (specifically, the mating connection part between the lower end face of the display module 10 and the first wire guide block, and the mating connection part between the lower end face of the display module 10 and the second wire guide block), or other connection parts that need to consider waterproof sealing and electromagnetic shielding.

[0033] Figure 2 A structural schematic diagram of the electronic device of the present invention is shown from another angle. Figure 3 It shows along Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure cut by line CC. Figure 4 It shows Figure 3 A magnified view of part A in the middle. Figure 5 An exploded view of the waterproof joint structure between the pivot seat and the guide block at one angle is shown.

[0034] Below, we will refer to Figures 2 to 5 The waterproof joint structure between the pivot seat and the guide block is described in detail.

[0035] Specifically, the hinge assembly includes a pair of hinges (not shown) and a pair of hinge seats 33 for mounting the hinges. The hinge assembly is used to connect the display module 10 and the host module 20 so that the display module 10 can be flipped relative to the host module 20.

[0036] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in the mating connection portion between the rotating shaft seat 33 and the wire guide block 40 (specifically including the portion located at...), Figure 3 The pivot seat 33 on the left side of the middle is located at Figure 3 The mating connection part of the first wire guide block on the left side of the middle, located Figure 3 The right-side pivot seat 33 and located Figure 3 The second wire guide block on the right side of the middle section is equipped with a waterproof joint structure.

[0037] The pair of pivot seats are identical to the waterproof joint structure formed by the first and second thread guide blocks, respectively, and are located in Figure 3 The pivot seat 33 on the left side of the middle is located at Figure 3 The waterproof joint structure of the first thread-passing block on the left side of the middle section will be used as an example for explanation.

[0038] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the waterproof joint structure includes a seam set in the thread guide block 40 (specifically located at...). Figure 3 The stepped mating part 42 of the first guide block on the left side of the middle, the mating gap formed between the stepped mating part 42 and the pivot seat 33 located on the left side is sealed with a waterproof seal 70.

[0039] In this embodiment, the central region of the upper surface of the display module 10 includes a handle 96, as detailed in the following document. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 .

[0040] For example, the waterproof seal 70 is, for example, a nitrile rubber sealing ring. The shape of the waterproof seal 70 is, for example, an O-ring or annular, as detailed in [reference needed]. Figure 5 However, it is not limited to this; the waterproof seal 70 can also be a silicone rubber waterproof seal.

[0041] like Figure 4 As shown, the stepped mating part 42 includes a first mating surface 43 and a second mating surface 44 connected to the first mating surface 43. A first groove 431 is provided on the first mating surface 43. The first groove 431 is used to accommodate the waterproof seal 70, which is a nitrile rubber sealing ring.

[0042] More specifically, the portions of the first mating surface 43 located on both sides of the first groove 431 are located... Figure 3 The mating surface of the pivot seat 33 on the left side forms a structural gap. The length D of the structural gap is in a specified proportion to the length L of the mating surface of the pivot seat 33 (specifically, the mating surface where the pivot seat 33 mates with the first mating surface of the step mating part). The specified proportion generally requires L ≥ 3D.

[0043] It should be noted that in this example, the waterproof seal 70 is made of nitrile rubber, capable of withstanding a temperature range of -40 to +120°C, and possesses excellent abrasion resistance, resilience, and ductility. Therefore, it can improve the performance of the wire guide block 40 (specifically...). Figure 3 The first wire guide block located on the left side of the middle) and the pivot seat 33 (specifically located on the left side of the middle) Figure 3 The sealing performance of the mating gap between the pivot seat 33 on the left side and the stepped mating part 42 is considered. Furthermore, according to waveguide theory, the ratio of the length D of the structural gap to the length L of the mating surface is reasonably set so that L ≥ 3D. In this example, the mating surface length L is, for example, 7.9 mm, and the structural gap length D is, for example, 0.2 mm. Preferably, the mating surface length L is, for example, in the range of 6 mm to 8 mm, and the structural gap length D is, for example, in the range of 0.1 mm to 0.5 mm.

[0044] Through the above-mentioned specified proportions, the portion of the first mating surface 43 located on both sides of the first groove 431 (specifically...) Figure 4 The upper end surfaces of the two sides separated by the first groove 431 and the mating surfaces of the rotating shaft seat 33 form a structural gap, which can achieve an effective shielding effect.

[0045] Next, in Figure 4 In the example, a second conductive rubber component 62 is provided at the mating connection portion between the lower end face of the display module 10 and the wire guide block 40. For example, a groove is formed on the bottom surface of the wire guide block 40, and a second conductive rubber component 62 with a diameter of, for example, Φ1 is installed in the groove of the wire guide block 40. The groove of the wire guide block 40 has a groove width of 1.2mm and a groove depth of 0.7mm, etc.

[0046] It should be noted that a second conductive rubber part 62 is also provided on the lower end face of the display module 10 and the mating connection part of the wire guide block 40 located on the right. Since the structure of the mating connection part formed by the first wire guide block and the second wire guide block and the lower end face of the display module 10 is the same, the description of the same part is omitted.

[0047] Preferably, a sub-waterproof joint structure is formed within the mating joint space (i.e., the mating connection portion) between the display module 10 (specifically, the lower end face of the display module 10) and the cable guide block 40 (specifically, the first cable guide block and the second cable guide block). The sub-waterproof joint structure includes a waterproof buffer rubber strip and a second conductive rubber component 62.

[0048] It should be noted that the above is only an optional example and should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention.

[0049] from Figure 1 and Figure 2 As can be seen from the diagram, the display module 10 includes a front panel 12 and a rear panel 14 attached to the front panel 12. A display window 13 is provided in the central area of ​​the front panel 12, and the display window 13 includes an outer shielding body 131 (see details). Figure 6 The outer shield 131 is a shielding glass.

[0050] Figure 6 yes Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the exploded structure of an electronic device at one angle. Figure 7 It shows along Figure 6 A schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure cut by line DD. Figure 8 It shows Figure 7 A magnified view of part E in the middle. Figure 9 It shows Figure 7 A magnified view of part H in the middle.

[0051] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the mounting portion between the display window 13 and the front panel 12 forms a sub-waterproof joint structure.

[0052] from Figure 8 As can be seen from the above, the front panel 12 is provided with a first mating groove 121 and a second mating groove 123. The mating joint space formed by the first mating groove 121 and the outer shield 131 is encapsulated with a waterproof buffer rubber strip 51. The mating joint space formed by the second mating groove 123 and the skirt 133 of the outer shield 131 is encapsulated with a first conductive rubber component 61, so as to form a sub-waterproof joint structure.

[0053] like Figure 8 As shown, the first mating groove 121 is positioned closer to the front side of the front panel 12 than the second mating groove 123 is positioned on the front panel 12, and the first mating groove 121 is positioned closer to the inner side of the front panel 12 than the second mating groove 123 is positioned on the front panel 12. In other words, the first mating groove 121 is located to the lower left of the second mating groove 123.

[0054] It should be noted that in this example, the side facing the user is the front side, and the side away from the user or the side opposite to the front side is the back side. The side closer to the center of the electronic device is the inside side, and the side farther from the center of the electronic device is the outside side.

[0055] Specifically, the shielding glass is provided with skirt portions 133 (specifically four skirt portions 133) around its four perimeter, and each skirt portion 133 is used to conduct electricity between the outer shielding body 131 and the front panel 12. The skirt portion 133 is, for example, a metal mesh.

[0056] Preferably, the upper surface and front panel of the shielding glass, as well as the lower surface of the shielding glass in contact with the shielding glass strip, are provided with rubber components (such as buffer rubber strips) to protect the shielding glass from damage.

[0057] like Figure 8As shown, the display window 13 is provided with a mounting groove, which is, for example, a recessed groove from front to back. Glass strips 65 (e.g., shielding glass strips) are provided at the four corners of the bottom of the mounting groove. Buffer rubber strips 67 are mounted on the glass strips 65, and corresponding buffer rubber strips 67 are mounted on the four corners of the shielding glass. For example, when installing the shielding glass, the glass strips 65 (e.g., shielding glass strips) are first placed in the mounting groove of the front panel 12. The shielding glass is then placed on the glass strips 65, and the four shielding glass strips 65 are used to press the skirt 133 around the shielding glass (or its four perimeters). Buffer rubber strips 67 are sandwiched between the shielding glass and the glass strips 65, ensuring that the upper and lower surfaces of the shielding glass and the metal contact areas are protected by rubber components, and also enabling a good electrical connection between the shielding glass and the front panel.

[0058] like Figure 9 As shown, a waterproof sealing rubber rope 53 and a third conductive rubber component 63 are provided at the mating connection between the front panel 12 and the rear panel 14 of the display module 10. Specifically, the surface of the rear panel 14 that mates with the front panel 12 has a third mating groove and a fourth mating groove, and the front panel 12 has a first protrusion and a second protrusion that respectively mate with the third mating groove and the fourth mating groove. The waterproof sealing rubber rope 53 is disposed within the space formed by the third mating groove and the first protrusion.

[0059] from Figure 9 As can be seen, the depth of the third mating groove (i.e., the groove depth) is greater than the depth of the fourth mating groove (groove depth), and the fourth mating groove is closer to the outer side than the third mating groove. Both the third and fourth mating grooves are grooves that are recessed inward from the lower end of the rear panel 14, for example, U-shaped grooves.

[0060] Furthermore, a fixing hole 145 is provided between the third mating groove and the fourth mating groove, and the spacing of the fixing hole 145 is controlled within 50mm.

[0061] Two layers of mating grooves (specifically a third mating groove and a fourth mating groove) are provided around the lower end face of the rear panel 14. The fourth mating groove is used to install a third conductive rubber component to provide electromagnetic shielding and waterproofing. The third mating groove is used to install a waterproof sealing rubber rope for waterproofing. Thus, the display module 10 is formed into a metal cavity with electromagnetic and waterproof sealing.

[0062] It should be noted that the shape of the groove is not limited to this; it can also be an annular groove, etc. Furthermore, in this example, the conductive rubber component (specifically including the first conductive rubber component, the second conductive rubber component, and the third conductive rubber component) is a conductive rubber strip or a conductive rubber rope. The above are merely optional examples and should not be construed as limiting the invention.

[0063] In this example, both the display module 10 and the host module 20 are metal shields, and they exchange signals via signal lines and power lines. The signal lines and power lines are both covered with conductive tape.

[0064] Specifically, a sub-waterproof joint structure is formed within the mating joint space between the rear panel 14 of the display module 10 and the wire guide block 40 (specifically, the first wire guide block and the second wire guide block). This sub-waterproof joint structure may include conductive rubber components.

[0065] Figure 10 yes Figure 1 A partial structural diagram of an electronic device from another angle.

[0066] like Figure 10 As shown, the electronic device also includes a wire 80. The wire 80 extends from the outlet 81 of the host module 20, passes through one or both of a pair of wire guides (not shown in the figure or the wire guides have been removed), and enters the interface 83 of the display module 10. Specifically, the outer layer of the wire 80 is wrapped with conductive tape.

[0067] Figure 11 This is a three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of an example of a waterproof and breathable valve for an electronic device according to the present invention.

[0068] Optionally, the host module 20 is provided with a waterproof and breathable valve 91 to ensure the balance of internal and external air pressure of the electronic device. The waterproof and breathable valve 91 is sealed to the lower right side of the front panel 12 of the display module 10 by a sealing ring 95, for example, by an embedded installation. That is, the outer end face of the waterproof and breathable valve 91 is flush with the outer end face or outer surface of the front panel 12 of the display module 10, and does not protrude from the outer end face or outer surface of the front panel 12. In addition, the host module 20 is provided with a waterproof and breathable valve, specifically located in a blank position on the rear panel of the host module 20.

[0069] In another example, the display module 10 is provided with a waterproof and breathable valve 91 to ensure the balance of air pressure inside the electronic device with the outside air pressure.

[0070] It should be noted that electronic devices with sealed structures can experience a "breathing effect" in practical applications, potentially leading to device failure. This invention addresses this issue by incorporating appropriate waterproof and breathable valves into the display module and the main unit module, effectively preventing the breathing effect from affecting the waterproof seams within their respective cavities.

[0071] Compared with the prior art, the electronic device of the present invention, through the waterproof joint structure between the rotating shaft assembly and the wire guide block, can ensure both flipping performance and waterproof sealing, effectively improve the waterproof sealing of the electronic device, and effectively avoid the influence of electromagnetic interference.

[0072] In addition, by setting a sub-waterproof joint structure in the gap between the front panel of the display module and the outer shield of the display window, the waterproof sealing between the front panel of the display module and the outer shield of the display window can be effectively improved.

[0073] Furthermore, by setting a sub-waterproof joint structure in the fit gap between the rear panel of the display module and the wiring block, the waterproof sealing between the rear panel of the display module and the wiring block can be effectively achieved.

[0074] In addition, by installing waterproof and breathable valves in the display module and the main unit module, the balance of air pressure inside the electronic device with the outside air can be ensured.
