Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of electronic equipment technology, and specifically relates to an electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] Mobile phones have become necessities of life, and users have increasingly higher demands for the user experience and aesthetics. Improving the user experience and providing an attractive design are directions that all manufacturers are currently striving towards. For example, phones often feature side-mounted buttons for adjusting volume and powering on. Current button structures, such as... Figure 1 As shown, a separate steel reinforcement is bonded to a flexible printed circuit (FPC) 1 using thermosetting adhesive. A protective and insulating coating 4 is printed on the surface of the pressure-sensitive material layer 3. The flexible circuit 1 and the pressure-sensitive material layer 3 are connected to pads 6 via conductive material 5. The pressure button module manufactured using this method is then fixed to the phone's frame or screen using adhesive. To increase the module's signal strength, a reinforcing steel 2 is placed between the two FPC layers, using a separate steel reinforcement. The pressure-sensitive material layer 3 is pressed into the gap between the reinforcements. During stress, the pressure-sensitive adhesive is more prone to deformation. Due to the brittle nature of the pressure-sensitive material, under stress, areas without reinforcement have poor support strength, and the edges of the reinforcements have sharp corners, forming stress concentration areas. During folding, reinforcement pressing, testing, transportation, and assembly, cracks easily appear in the pressure-sensitive material in these areas, leading to failure. Summary of the Invention

[0075] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0076] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and not to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such use of data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of this application can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, in the specification and claims, "and / or" indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0077] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 2 to 16 The electronic devices provided in this application will be described in detail through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0078] like Figures 2 to 8 As shown, the electronic device of this application embodiment includes: a frame 10, a button module 20, and a pressure-sensitive module 30. The button module 20 may include a cantilever 40, and the number of cantilever 40s can be one or more, with intervals between them. The pressure-sensitive module 30 may include a pressure-sensitive material layer 31, and the number of pressure-sensitive material layers 31 can be one or more, with multiple pressure-sensitive material layers 31 connected to form a Wheatstone bridge. The pressure-sensitive module 30 can be disposed on the cantilever 40, and when the cantilever 40 deforms, the cantilever 40 can cause the pressure-sensitive material layer 31 to deform. The material of the cantilever 40 can be a deformable material such as metal, plastic, or rubber.

[0079] The frame 10 has an open chamber 11, which can be located on the outside of the frame 10 and can be cylindrical, elliptical, polygonal, or similar in shape. A cantilever 40 is disposed within the chamber 11. The cantilever 40 can be plate-shaped or rod-shaped, and one end of the cantilever 40 can be disposed on the inner wall of the chamber 11. One end of the cantilever 40 can be fixed to the inner wall of the chamber 11, for example, it can be fixed to the bottom wall of the chamber 11. The end of the cantilever 40 can be fixed to the inner wall of the chamber 11 by means of bonding, mechanical riveting, screw fixing, welding, etc.

[0080] The frame 10 may be provided with a sealing plate 12 to block the opening, and the sealing plate 12 may be provided with a mounting hole 13. The button module 20 includes a press button, and part of the press button can pass through the mounting hole 13 and is movable in the mounting hole 13. The press button can switch between a first state and a second state. The press button can be switched between the first state and the second state by pressing the press button. When the press button is in the first state, the press button drives the cantilever 40 to deform; when the press button is stopped, the press button is in the second state, the cantilever 40 is in the non-deformed state, and the cantilever 40 returns to the non-deformed state. The operation function of the electronic device can be controlled by pressing the press button.

[0081] The pressure-sensitive module 30 can be fixed to the cantilever 40 by adhesive material. By applying external force to press or slide, the cantilever 40 is deformed, which in turn causes the pressure-sensitive material layer 31 in the pressure-sensitive module 30 to deform. The deformation of the pressure-sensitive material layer 31 will generate a change in resistance, which can be converted into an electrical signal to realize the corresponding function control. The pressure-sensitive module is set on the cantilever, which increases the strength of the module and also increases the signal quantity of the module.

[0082] like Figure 4As shown, when an external force F is applied, the pressure-sensitive material of the module undergoes a slight deformation. Due to the difference in bending radii of the pressure-sensitive materials on both sides of the base, the inner pressure-sensitive materials R1 and R2 are in a compressed state, while the outer pressure-sensitive materials R3 and R4 are in a stretched state. Consequently, the resistance changes on both sides are inconsistent. Since the deformation and resistance of the pressure-sensitive material are linearly related, the pressure difference between the two ends can be detected according to the Wheatstone bridge principle to determine the magnitude of the pressure and convert it into an electrical signal, thereby realizing the corresponding function.

[0083] like Figure 5 As shown, the pressure-sensitive module 30 may include a pressure-sensitive material layer 31 and a substrate 51. The pressure-sensitive material layer 31 is disposed on one side surface of the substrate 51. The substrate 51 can be a flexible printed circuit (FPC). Pads 54 can be disposed on the substrate 51, and the pads 54 are electrically connected to the pressure-sensitive material layer 31 through a conductive material layer 53. An insulating layer 52 can be disposed on the substrate 51, covering the pressure-sensitive material layer 31, the pads 54, and the conductive material layer 53. The side of the substrate 51 away from the pressure-sensitive material layer 31 can be disposed on the surface of a cantilever. The substrate 51 can be bonded to the surface of the cantilever using an adhesive, which can be an elastic adhesive. The thickness of the pressure-sensitive module 30 can be less than or equal to 1 mm. The pressure-sensitive material layer 31 can also be disposed on the other side surface of the substrate 51; specific details can be found in [reference needed]. Figure 5 With the pressure-sensitive material layer 31 disposed on one side surface of the substrate 51, the pressure-sensitive module can be made into a double-sided pressure-sensitive module.

[0084] In some embodiments, the button module 20 may include a press button that is switchable between a first state and a second state. In the first state, the press button drives the cantilever 40 to deform; in the second state, the cantilever 40 remains undeformed. When an external force is applied to the press button, it drives the cantilever 40 to deform. This deformation can be achieved by clicking, double-clicking, or sliding along the press button. The deformation of the cantilever 40 causes the pressure-sensitive material layer 31 in the pressure-sensitive module 30 to deform. This deformation results in a change in resistance, allowing for functional control based on the deformation of the pressure-sensitive material layer 31.

[0085] In some embodiments, the frame 10 may have a chamber 11, and the cantilever 40 may be disposed within the chamber 11. One end of the cantilever 40 may be fixedly disposed to the bottom wall of the chamber 11, and the other end of the cantilever 40 may be spaced apart from the inner sidewall of the chamber 11, so that the other end of the cantilever 40 can be suspended in the air. The pressure-sensitive material layer 31 of the pressure-sensitive module 30 may be disposed at the other end of the cantilever 40, or the pressure-sensitive material layer 31 of the pressure-sensitive module 30 may be disposed in the middle region of the cantilever 40. Disposing the cantilever 40 within the chamber 11 can reduce external disturbances to the cantilever 40, reduce accidental collisions, and also protect the cantilever.

[0086] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figures 2 to 3 , Figures 6 to 7 As shown, the frame 10 has an opening communicating with the chamber 11. The frame 10 may be provided with a sealing plate 12, which can block the opening. The sealing plate 12 may be provided with a mounting hole 13. The part of the pressing button can be inserted through the mounting hole 13. The part of the pressing button can be set near the other end of the cantilever 40 so that the pressing button can drive the cantilever 40 to deform when the button is pressed or clicked.

[0087] In this application, the pressure-sensitive module 30 is supported by a cantilever 40, which provides better support for the pressure-sensitive material layer 31. This prevents gaps or gaps in the pressure-sensitive material layer, making it less prone to stress concentration areas. Under external forces, the pressure-sensitive material layer is less likely to crack or be damaged, thus improving its effectiveness. Cantilever arms in electronic devices are prone to deformation; by using the deformation of the cantilever to drive the deformation of the pressure-sensitive material layer, the sensitivity of the pressure-sensitive material layer can be improved.

[0088] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figures 2 to 3 , Figures 6 to 7 As shown, the press button may include a press plate 21 and a drive arm 22. The press plate 21 may be disposed outside the chamber 11. One end of the drive arm 22 may be connected to the press plate 21, and the connection may be perpendicular to the press plate 21. The other end of the drive arm 22 may pass through the mounting hole 13 and may be disposed adjacent to the other end of the cantilever 40 so that the drive arm 22 can drive the cantilever 40 to deform when the press plate 21 is pressed or clicked. The mounting hole 13 can limit and guide the drive arm 22, allowing it to move in the direction toward the cantilever 40, thus ensuring stable movement. An elastic layer may be provided on the surface of the other end of the drive arm 22 to buffer the collision between the other end of the drive arm 22 and the cantilever 40.

[0089] When the button is pressed in the first state, the drive arm 22 can drive the cantilever 40 to deform; when the button is pressed in the second state, the cantilever 40 can remain undeformed. Pressing or clicking the button puts the button in the first state, allowing the drive arm 22 to drive the cantilever 40 to deform; stopping the pressing or clicking of the button puts the button in the second state, allowing the cantilever 40 to remain undeformed. When the button is pressed in the second state, the drive arm 22 can disengage from the cantilever 40, the drive arm 22 does not apply force to the cantilever 40, and the cantilever 40 can remain undeformed.

[0090] In some embodiments, such as Figures 2 to 3 , Figures 6 to 7 As shown, a limiting boss 23 can be provided on the outer periphery of the other end of the drive arm 22. The limiting boss 23 is located in the chamber 11, and the sealing plate 12 can be located between the limiting boss 23 and the pressing plate 21. The limiting boss 23 can prevent the other end of the drive arm 22 from coming out of the mounting hole 13. The surface of the limiting boss 23 can be covered with an elastic layer, which can reduce the rigid impact of the limiting boss 23 on the sealing plate 12 and also reduce the noise caused by the impact.

[0091] A sealing structure can be provided between the drive arm 22 and the wall of the mounting hole 13 for sealing. The sealing structure can be a sealing gasket or a sealing adhesive layer. The gap between the drive arm 22 and the mounting hole 13 can be filled with soft glue or soft double-sided tape to achieve waterproof sealing.

[0092] The module can be connected to the circuit board via a BTB (Board-to-Board) connector on the FPC or a gold-plated connector. Based on the working principle of the pressure button, it can be... Figure 4 As shown, the change in resistance after the pressure-sensitive material layer deforms is converted into an electrical signal to realize the detection of the pressure button function; the structural diagram of a single pressure-sensitive module 30 can be seen as follows. Figure 5 As shown.

[0093] like Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, when the pressure of a finger slides from the pressure-sensitive module 30 on the left cantilever to the pressure-sensitive module 30 on the right cantilever of the pressure plate 21, the pressure-sensitive material layer 31 in the pressure-sensitive module 30 on the left cantilever gradually decreases in force (i.e., the signal intensity decreases from strong to weak). At this time, the pressure-sensitive material layer 31 in the pressure-sensitive module 30 on the left cantilever is greater than the pressure-sensitive material layer 31 in the pressure-sensitive module 30 on the right cantilever, and the signal intensity in the pressure-sensitive material layer 31 in the pressure-sensitive module 30 on the left cantilever is greater than the signal intensity in the pressure-sensitive material layer 31 in the pressure-sensitive module 30 on the right cantilever. When the pressure point slides to the middle position of the pressure plate 21, the pressure on the left cantilever... The force on the pressure-sensitive material layer 31 in the pressure-sensitive module 30 is equal to the force on the pressure-sensitive material layer 31 in the pressure-sensitive module 30 on the right cantilever, and the signal quantity in the pressure-sensitive material layer 31 in the pressure-sensitive module 30 on the left cantilever is equal to the signal quantity in the pressure-sensitive material layer 31 in the pressure-sensitive module 30 on the right cantilever. When the finger slides to the right past the center position, the force on the pressure-sensitive material layer 31 in the pressure-sensitive module 30 on the left cantilever is less than the force on the pressure-sensitive material layer 31 in the pressure-sensitive module 30 on the right cantilever, and the signal quantity in the pressure-sensitive material layer 31 in the pressure-sensitive module 30 on the left cantilever is less than the signal quantity in the pressure-sensitive material layer 31 in the pressure-sensitive module 30 on the right cantilever.

[0094] The signal quantity of the pressure-sensitive material layer 31 in the pressure-sensitive module 30 on the left cantilever can be CH1, and the signal quantity of the pressure-sensitive material layer 31 in the pressure-sensitive module 30 on the right cantilever can be CH2. The length of the sliding area is L. The output F is the force value, and L1 is the force position; L1 = L * [CH1 / (CH1+CH2)], F = (CH1+CH2) * calibration coefficient. The magnitude of the signal quantity and (CH1+CH2) is almost unaffected by the position of the force F. The difference between the signal quantity and (CH1+CH2) when the same force is pressed at any position is small, and the sensitivity consistency is good. This logic is used to detect displacement and realize the sliding function. On the basis of the traditional pressure button function that can only be pressed, the side sliding detection function is realized. This function can be used to implement applications that require switching, such as sliding to increase or decrease volume, sliding to take pictures, sliding to switch photos, sliding to switch short videos, and sliding to switch music, through debugging software, thus diversifying the functions and application scenarios and improving the user experience.

[0095] like Figure 8As shown in Figures A and B, the horizontal axis represents the displacement position, the left vertical axis represents the signal quantity of the pressure-sensitive material layer 31 in the pressure-sensitive module 30 on the left cantilever, and the right vertical axis represents the signal quantity of the pressure-sensitive material layer 31 in the pressure-sensitive module 30 on the right cantilever. The trend line represents the signal quantity of the pressure-sensitive material layer 31 in the pressure-sensitive module 30 on the cantilever when subjected to force at different positions. By calibrating the trend graph of the signal quantity change with displacement after noise reduction, a trigger threshold can be set while eliminating interference. For example, the trigger threshold for 10g force can be the horizontal line in Figure B. Different trigger thresholds can be set as needed. The tilt angle of the left and right cantilevers is unlimited, and the tilt angles of the left and right cantilevers can be equal to ensure equal deformation under the same pressure. The height of the cantilever is not specifically required, but it is necessary to meet the deformation range of the trigger signal quantity under force, excluding the space of the cantilever beam body thickness. For example, the deformation can be within 1mm. The cantilever can be sheet-like, and the thickness of the cantilever can meet the strength and elasticity requirements. Steel sheets with a thickness of less than or equal to 2mm can be used.

[0096] In some embodiments, such as Figures 2 to 3 , Figures 6 to 7 As shown, the cantilever 40 may include a first cantilever body 41 and a second cantilever body 42. One end of the first cantilever body 41 is connected to the inner wall of the chamber 11, and another end of the first cantilever body 41 can be fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the chamber 11. The other end of the first cantilever body 41 can be suspended to allow for deformation. One end of the second cantilever body 42 is connected to the other end of the first cantilever body 41. The second cantilever body 42 and the sealing plate 12 can be arranged parallel to each other, or spaced apart. The second cantilever body 42 can be elongated to allow the driving arm 22 to stably drive the cantilever 40 to deform when the pressing plate 21 is pressed. The first cantilever body 41 and the second cantilever body 42 can be sheet-like. The thickness of the first cantilever body 41 and the second cantilever body 42 can meet the requirements for strength and elasticity. The first cantilever body 41 and the second cantilever body 42 can be made of steel sheets with a thickness of less than or equal to 2 mm. Figure 3 As shown, the pressure of pressing down with a finger drives the drive arm 22 to move downward. The drive arm 22 presses against the second cantilever 42, causing the first cantilever 41 to deform. The deformation of the first cantilever 41 causes the pressure-sensitive material layer 31 in the pressure-sensitive module 30 to deform.

[0097] Optionally, at least one pressure-sensitive module 30 may be provided on the side of the first cantilever 41 near the sealing plate 12. The first cantilever 41 may be in the shape of a long strip, and one or more pressure-sensitive modules 30 may be provided on the side of the first cantilever 41 near the sealing plate 12. For example, two pressure-sensitive modules 30 may be provided on the side of the first cantilever 41 near the sealing plate 12, and the two pressure-sensitive modules 30 may be spaced apart.

[0098] Optionally, at least one pressure-sensitive module 30 may be provided on the side of the first cantilever 41 away from the sealing plate 12. The first cantilever 41 may be in the shape of a long strip, and one or more pressure-sensitive modules 30 may be provided on the side of the first cantilever 41 away from the sealing plate 12. For example, two pressure-sensitive modules 30 may be provided on the side of the first cantilever 41 away from the sealing plate 12, and the two pressure-sensitive modules 30 may be distributed at intervals.

[0099] Optionally, at least one pressure-sensitive module 30 is provided on the side surface of the cantilever 40 near the sealing plate 12.

[0100] One or more pressure-sensitive modules 30 may be provided on the side of the cantilever 40 near the sealing plate 12. For example, two pressure-sensitive modules 30 may be provided on the side of the cantilever 40 near the sealing plate 12, and the two pressure-sensitive modules 30 may be distributed at intervals.

[0101] Optionally, at least one pressure-sensitive module 30 is provided on the side surface of the cantilever 40 away from the sealing plate 12.

[0102] One or more pressure-sensitive modules 30 may be provided on the side of the cantilever 40 away from the sealing plate 12. For example, two pressure-sensitive modules 30 may be provided on the side of the cantilever 40 away from the sealing plate 12, and the two pressure-sensitive modules 30 may be distributed at intervals.

[0103] In some embodiments, the pressure-sensitive module 30 may include multiple pressure-sensitive material layers 31, which can be connected to form a Wheatstone bridge. The pressure magnitude can be determined by detecting the pressure difference across the two ends according to the Wheatstone bridge principle, and then converted into an electrical signal to achieve the corresponding function.

[0104] In some embodiments, such as Figures 2 to 3 , Figures 6 to 7 As shown, the frame 10 may have a chamber 11, and a cantilever 40 is disposed in the chamber 11. There may be multiple cantilever 40s. The bottom wall of the chamber 11 may be provided with a fixing part 15. The fixing part 15 may be plate-shaped. The fixing part 15 may be glued to the bottom wall of the chamber 11 with adhesive. One end of the cantilever 40 may be connected to the fixing part 15. The fixing part 15 may be used to fix one end of the cantilever 40 to the fixing part 15.

[0105] Optionally, such as Figures 2 to 3 , Figures 6 to 7As shown, there can be two cantilever arms 40, which can be symmetrically arranged about the fixing part 15. The press button can include a press plate 21 and a drive arm 22. The press plate 21 can be located outside the chamber 11. There can be two drive arms 22, with one end connected to the press plate 21 perpendicularly, and the other end passing through the corresponding mounting hole 13. The other end of each drive arm 22 can be positioned adjacent to the other end of the corresponding cantilever arm 40, so that pressing, clicking, or sliding the press plate 21 can drive the cantilever arm 40 to deform. The two cantilever arms 40 are symmetrically arranged about the fixing part 15, so that the same force can be generated when pressing at different positions on the press plate 21.

[0106] Optionally, the electronic device may further include a control module, which controls the electronic device based on the deformation of the pressure-sensitive material layer 31. Different deformations of the pressure-sensitive material layer 31 result in different resistance changes and thus different electrical signals. Therefore, different deformations can be used to control the electronic device. For example, the control module can control the electronic device to adjust volume, adjust brightness, take photos, switch images, switch music or videos, etc., based on the deformation of the pressure-sensitive material layer 31. Through debugging software, applications requiring switching such as sliding to increase or decrease volume, sliding to take photos, sliding to switch photos, sliding to switch short videos, and sliding to switch music can be implemented, achieving diversified functions and application scenarios, and improving the user experience.

[0107] In the embodiments of this application, when the pressure-sensitive material layer 31 is in a first deformation state, the control module can control the electronic device to perform a first operation function; when the pressure-sensitive material layer 31 is in a second deformation state, the control module can control the electronic device to perform a second operation function. The first operation function and the second operation function are different, and the electronic device is controlled by the deformation state of the pressure-sensitive material layer 31. For example, when the pressure-sensitive material layer 31 is in the first deformation state, the control module can control the electronic device to increase the volume, increase the brightness, switch to the previous image, switch to the previous song or video, etc.; when the pressure-sensitive material layer 31 is in the second deformation state, the control module can control the electronic device to decrease the volume, decrease the brightness, switch to the next image, switch to the next song or video, etc.

[0108] This application provides an electronic device, such as... Figures 9 to 14As shown, the electronic device includes: a frame 10, a button module, and a pressure-sensitive module 30. The button module may include a cantilever 40, and the pressure-sensitive module 30 may include a pressure-sensitive material layer 31. The pressure-sensitive module 30 can be disposed on the cantilever 40. When the cantilever 40 deforms, it can cause the pressure-sensitive material layer 31 to deform. The frame 10 may have an open cavity 11, which may be cylindrical, elliptical, polygonal, etc. The cantilever 40 can be disposed inside the cavity 11, and one end of the cantilever 40 can be connected to the inner wall of the cavity 11. One end of the cantilever 40 can be fixed to the inner wall of the cavity 11, for example, one end of the cantilever 40 can be fixed to the bottom wall of the cavity 11. One end of the cantilever 40 can be fixed to the inner wall of the cavity 11 by means of bonding, mechanical riveting, screw fixing, welding, etc. The frame 10 may be provided with a sealing plate 12 to block the opening, and the other end of the cantilever 40 may be provided adjacent to the sealing plate 12.

[0109] The sealing plate 12 is deformable. When the sealing plate 12 is in the third state, it drives the cantilever 40 to deform; when the sealing plate 12 is in the fourth state, the cantilever 40 is not deformed. The sealing plate 12 can switch between the third and fourth states by pressing it. When the sealing plate 12 is in the third state, it drives the cantilever 40 to deform; when the sealing plate 12 is in the fourth state, the cantilever 40 is not deformed. For example, when the sealing plate 12 is pressed, it is in the third state and drives the cantilever 40 to deform; when the pressing of the sealing plate 12 is stopped, it is in the fourth state, the cantilever 40 is not deformed, and the cantilever 40 returns to the non-deformed state. The sealing plate 12 can be used to control the operation functions of electronic devices.

[0110] When an external force is applied to the sealing plate 12, the sealing plate 12 can drive the cantilever 40 to deform. Force can be applied to the sealing plate 12 by clicking, double-clicking, or sliding along it, causing the cantilever 40 to deform. The deformation of the cantilever 40 causes the pressure-sensitive material layer 31 in the pressure-sensitive module 30 to deform. This deformation results in a change in resistance, and functional control can be achieved based on the deformation of the pressure-sensitive material layer 31.

[0111] like Figures 9 to 11As shown, the frame 10 may have a cavity 11 with an opening, and a cantilever 40 is disposed in the cavity 11. The frame 10 may be provided with a sealing plate 12, which can seal the opening. The other end of the cantilever 40 is disposed adjacent to the sealing plate 12. The sealing plate 12 is deformable and can be made of an elastic material, such as a plastic plate, a rubber plate, or an elastic metal plate, so that the sealing plate 12 can deform when pressed. When the sealing plate 12 is in the third state, the sealing plate 12 can drive the cantilever 40 to deform; when the sealing plate 12 is in the fourth state, the cantilever 40 is not deformed. When the sealing plate 12 is pressed or clicked, the sealing plate 12 can drive the cantilever 40 to deform. The sealing plate 12 sealing the opening of the cavity 11 can keep the cavity 11 in a sealed state, preventing external contaminants or impurities from entering the cavity, and protecting the cantilever 40 and the pressure-sensitive module 30. Figure 11 As shown, the sealing plate 12 can be deformed. The pressing force position of the sealing plate 12 on the frame 10 can be adjusted by using a softer material through injection molding. Under the same pressure, the deformation is large, which can optimize the problem of weak signal.

[0112] Pressing or clicking the sealing plate 12 puts it into a third state, allowing it to drive the cantilever 40 to deform. When the pressing or clicking stops, the sealing plate 12 is placed into a fourth state, allowing the cantilever 40 to remain undeformed. In the fourth state, the sealing plate 12 does not exert any force on the cantilever 40, allowing it to detach from the cantilever 40, and the cantilever 40 to remain undeformed.

[0113] In this application, the pressure-sensitive module is supported by a cantilever, which provides better support for the pressure-sensitive material layer. This prevents gaps or gaps in the pressure-sensitive material layer, reducing the likelihood of stress concentration areas and preventing cracks or damage under external forces, thus improving its effectiveness. Furthermore, the cantilever in electronic devices is prone to deformation; by utilizing this deformation to induce deformation in the pressure-sensitive material layer, the sensitivity of the pressure-sensitive material layer can be improved.

[0114] In some embodiments, such as Figures 9 to 11 As shown, the cantilever 40 may include a first cantilever body 41 and a second cantilever body 42. One end of the first cantilever body 41 is connected to the inner wall of the chamber 11, and one end of the second cantilever body 42 is connected to the other end of the first cantilever body 41. The second cantilever body 42 is arranged parallel to the sealing plate 12.

[0115] One end of the first cantilever 41 can be fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the chamber 11, and the other end of the first cantilever 41 can be suspended to allow for deformation. One end of the second cantilever 42 is connected to the other end of the first cantilever 41. The second cantilever 42 can be arranged parallel to the sealing plate 12. The second cantilever 42 can be elongated and can be closely attached to the surface of the sealing plate 12 so that when the sealing plate 12 is pressed, the sealing plate 12 can be in a third state, allowing the sealing plate 12 to stably drive the cantilever 40 to deform. The first cantilever 41 and the second cantilever 42 can be sheet-like, and their thickness can meet the requirements for strength and elasticity. The first cantilever 41 and the second cantilever 42 can be made of steel sheets with a thickness of less than or equal to 2 mm.

For example, two pressure-sensitive modules 30 may be provided on the side of the first cantilever 41 near the sealing plate 12, and the two pressure-sensitive modules 30 may be spaced apart.

[0117] Optionally, at least one pressure-sensitive module may be provided on the side of the first cantilever 41 away from the sealing plate 12.

The bottom of the support structure 60 is connected to the bottom wall of the chamber 11, and the top of the support structure 60 can be spaced apart from the sealing plate 12. The support structure 60 is also spaced apart from the second cantilever body 42. When the sealing plate 12 is pressed, the sealing plate 12 deforms to drive the cantilever. When the sealing plate 12 deforms to a certain extent, it can stop against the support structure 60. The support structure 60 can limit the degree of deformation of the sealing plate 12 and prevent excessive deformation of the sealing plate 12 from causing excessive deformation of the cantilever. Figure 12 As shown, the second cantilever 42 can be disposed between the top of the support structure 60 and the sealing plate 12. The second cantilever 42 and the top of the support structure 60 are spaced apart. When the sealing plate 12 deforms to a certain extent, the second cantilever 42 can stop against the support structure 60. The support structure 60 can limit the degree of deformation of the sealing plate 12 and the second cantilever 42, and prevent excessive deformation of the cantilever.

[0119] In some embodiments, such as Figures 9 to 14 As shown, the sealing plate 12 has a baffle 14 on the side surface near the cantilever 40, and the other end of the second cantilever 42 abuts against the baffle 14. The baffle 14 can block and limit the other end of the second cantilever 42, so that the force of the sealing plate can be effectively transmitted to the area where the pressure-sensitive module 30 is located.

[0120] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figures 12 to 13 As shown, a support structure 60 is provided in the chamber 11. The support structure 60 is disposed between the bottom wall of the chamber 11 and the sealing plate 12.

The support structure 60 is also spaced apart from the second cantilever body 42. When the sealing plate 12 is pressed, the sealing plate 12 deforms to drive the cantilever. When the sealing plate 12 deforms to a certain extent, it can stop against the support structure 60. The support structure 60 can limit the degree of deformation of the sealing plate 12 and prevent excessive deformation of the sealing plate 12 from causing excessive deformation of the cantilever. Figure 12 As shown, the second cantilever 42 can be disposed between the top of the support structure 60 and the sealing plate 12. The second cantilever 42 and the top of the support structure 60 are spaced apart. When the sealing plate 12 deforms to a certain extent, the second cantilever 42 can stop against the support structure 60. The support structure 60 can limit the deformation of the sealing plate 12 and the second cantilever 42, preventing excessive deformation of the cantilever.

[0123] Optionally, at least one pressure-sensitive module 30 is provided on the surface of the cantilever 40 away from the sealing plate 12. For example, two pressure-sensitive modules 30 can be provided on the side of the cantilever 40 away from the sealing plate 12, and the two pressure-sensitive modules 30 can be distributed at intervals.

The support structure 60 can limit the degree of deformation of the sealing plate 12 and prevent excessive deformation of the sealing plate 12 from causing excessive deformation of the cantilever.

[0126] In some embodiments, such as Figures 9 to 14 As shown, there are multiple cantilever arms 40.

There can be two cantilever arms 40, which can be symmetrically arranged about the support structure 60 on the fixing part 15.

[0129] In embodiments of this application, the electronic device may further include:

[0130] The control module is used to control electronic equipment according to the deformation of the pressure-sensitive material layer; when the pressure-sensitive material layer is in a first deformation state, the control module controls the electronic equipment to perform a first operation function; when the pressure-sensitive material layer is in a second deformation state, the control module controls the electronic equipment to perform a second operation function.

[0131] Different deformations of the pressure-sensitive material layer 31 result in different resistance changes and thus different electrical signals. This allows for the control of electronic devices through different deformations. For example, the control module can control electronic devices to adjust volume, brightness, take photos, switch images, or switch music or videos based on the deformation of the pressure-sensitive material layer 31. Through debugging software, applications that require switching, such as sliding to increase or decrease volume, sliding to take photos, sliding to switch photos, sliding to switch short videos, and sliding to switch music, can be implemented, achieving diversified functions and application scenarios, and improving the user experience.

[0132] The first and second operation functions differ; the first controls the electronic device by manipulating the deformation state of the pressure-sensitive material layer 31. For example, when the pressure-sensitive material layer 31 is in the first deformation state, the control module can control the electronic device to increase volume, increase brightness, switch to the previous image, switch to the previous song, or switch to the previous video, etc.; when the pressure-sensitive material layer 31 is in the second deformation state, the control module can control the electronic device to decrease volume, decrease brightness, switch to the next image, switch to the next song, or switch to the next video, etc. Figure 15 As shown, a power button 101 can be set on the frame 10. The press plate 21 of the button module can be placed in the position of the traditional volume button and replace the volume button function. At the same time, a sliding function can be implemented. Different switching functions can be achieved in different scenarios through software adjustment. For example, in the camera interface, you can slide to take a picture or take a burst of pictures. In the lock screen interface, you can slide to increase or decrease the volume. The position on the right side of the frame makes it easy for users to hold and slide, improving the user experience.

[0133] like Figure 16 As shown, the power button 101 and volume buttons 102 can be set on the frame 10. The pressure plate 21 of the button module can be arranged separately on the right side of the phone without replacing the traditional volume buttons. Through software debugging, the pressure button module can realize multiple functions such as single-click, double-click, and swipe. For example, in the camera application: single-click to focus, double-click to wake up or take a picture, swipe to zoom, hard press to take a picture, etc.; in the short video or music application: swipe to switch, double-click to like, etc.; in the album application: swipe to switch, etc., which greatly expands the button functions and improves the user experience.

[0134] Electronic devices can include mobile phones, tablets, wearable smart devices, headphones, etc.

The specific embodiments described above are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Those skilled in the art can make many other forms under the guidance of this application without departing from the spirit and scope of the claims, and all of these forms are within the protection scope of this application.
