With the development of electronic device technologies, users have higher and higher requirements for the shooting quality of electronic devices. The shooting quality of electronic devices in related technologies is poor. Therefore, how to further optimize the shooting quality of electronic devices remains an important research direction for each manufacturer. Summary of the Invention
[0003] An embodiment of this application provides an electronic device, which includes a plurality of flash modules, which is beneficial to improving the fill light effect during shooting, thereby improving the shooting quality of the electronic device in scenarios with fill light requirements.
[0004] To achieve the above object, the embodiments of this application adopt the following technical solutions:
[0005] The electronic device according to the embodiment of this application includes: a back cover, a decorative member, a camera module, and a plurality of flash modules. The back cover has an installation opening, the decorative member is installed at the installation opening, the decorative member has a light passing hole and a receiving cavity, the light passing hole is spaced apart from the receiving cavity, the light passing hole is opposite to the installation opening, the decorative member further includes a light transmitting portion, the light transmitting portion is at the outer end of the receiving cavity and defines the outer end wall surface of the receiving cavity, the camera module is located inside the back cover, and the light incident end of the camera module is located in the light passing hole, and the plurality of flash modules are arranged at intervals in the receiving cavity, and each flash module emits light toward the side where the light transmitting portion is located.
[0006] The electronic device according to the embodiment of this application, by arranging a plurality of flash modules and arranging the plurality of flash modules at intervals, in this way, multiple flash modules can work simultaneously to improve the fill light effect, so that in a dim environment, the shooting quality of the electronic device can be improved, and the user experience can be improved. On this basis, a receiving cavity for accommodating a plurality of flash modules is formed on the decorative member, and the decorative member has a light transmitting portion, and the light transmitting portion defines the wall surface of one end of the receiving cavity away from the inside of the electronic device, so that the flash module can be located on the side facing the inner surface of the light transmitting portion, that is, the flash module can be hidden inside the light transmitting portion. Therefore, there is no need to provide a flash hole penetrating the decorative member to achieve the purpose of the flash module projecting light to the outside of the electronic device for filling light for the camera module, which is also beneficial to improving the structural strength of the decorative member, and at the same time, the light transmitting portion can be used to protect and hide the flash module.
[0007] In some embodiments of the present application, the decorative member includes a first part and a second part. The first part is connected to and surrounds the second part, or the second part is connected to and surrounds the first part. The first part is formed with a receiving cavity and includes a light-transmitting portion. A plurality of flash lamp modules are spaced apart in the circumferential direction of the decorative member, and the second part has a light-passing hole. In this way, the fill light effect of the multi-camera module can be improved, the shooting requirements in some dark nights can be met, and the shooting quality of the electronic device can be enhanced.
[0008] In some embodiments of the present application, the receiving cavity is an annular shape extending along the circumferential direction of the decorative member, that is to say, the receiving cavity extends annularly along the circumferential direction of the decorative member, and the light-transmitting portion is an annular shape extending along the circumferential direction of the decorative member, that is to say, the light-transmitting portion extends annularly along the circumferential direction of the decorative member. In this way, when the flash lamp module works, the light projected by the flash lamp module can be projected onto the annular light-transmitting portion, so that the entire light-transmitting portion presents a bright effect, forming an effect similar to an annular light strip. This is beneficial to further improving the fill light effect to enhance the shooting quality of the electronic device, and at the same time, it is beneficial to make the electronic device more recognizable and competitive, and enhance the user experience.
[0009] In some embodiments of the present application, a plurality of flash lamp modules are evenly spaced apart in the circumferential direction of the decorative member. In this way, it is beneficial to improve the uniformity of the light at the light-transmitting portion, thereby improving the fill light effect and fill light uniformity of the flash lamp module for the camera module.
[0010] In some embodiments of the present application, there are a plurality of light-passing holes and a plurality of camera modules. The plurality of light-passing holes and the plurality of camera modules correspond one by one. The orthographic projections of the center lines of the plurality of light-passing holes in a plane parallel to the second part are located on the same reference circle, and the orthographic projection of the center line of the light-transmitting portion in a plane parallel to the second part coincides with the center of the reference circle. In this way, on the one hand, it is beneficial to optimize the relative position relationship between the light-transmitting portion and the plurality of light-passing holes and improve the fill light effect. On the other hand, the entire structure is more symmetrical, which is convenient for processing and manufacturing, and can also improve the appearance aesthetics of the electronic device.
[0011] In some embodiments of the present application, there are a plurality of light-passing holes and a plurality of camera modules. The plurality of light-passing holes and the plurality of camera modules correspond one by one. The plurality of light-passing holes are evenly spaced apart in the circumferential direction of the decorative member. Thereby further improving the fill light effect and fill light uniformity of the flash lamp module for the camera module.
[0012] In some embodiments of the present application, there is one light-passing hole, and the center line of the light-passing hole is collinear with the center line of the light-transmitting portion. In this way, on the one hand, it is beneficial to optimize the relative position relationship between the light-transmitting portion and the plurality of light-passing holes and improve the fill light effect. On the other hand, the entire structure is more symmetrical, which is convenient for processing and manufacturing, and can also improve the appearance aesthetics of the electronic device.
[0013] In some embodiments of the present application, the inner end of the accommodation cavity has a wire routing opening communicating with the accommodation cavity. The electronic device further includes a plurality of electrical connection structures, which correspond to the plurality of flash modules one by one. One end of each electrical connection structure is fixed and electrically connected to the corresponding flash module via the wire routing opening, and the other end of each electrical connection structure extends to the side facing the inner surface of the back cover. Thus, on the one hand, the provision of the wire routing opening facilitates the routing of wires between the electrical connection structure and the flash module, thereby facilitating the introduction of power into the flash module; on the other hand, the plurality of flash modules correspond to the plurality of electrical connection structures one by one and are electrically connected, enabling independent wire routing for the plurality of different flash modules. When one of the electrical connection structures is damaged due to extrusion, it will not affect the operation of the other electrical connection structures, thus ensuring the normal operation of the flash modules corresponding to the other electrical connection structures.
[0014] In some embodiments of the present application, the first part surrounds the outer periphery of the second part. The first part further includes a first connecting plate and a second connecting plate. Both the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate are in the shape of an annular cylinder. The first connecting plate is connected to the outer peripheral edge of the second part. The second connecting plate surrounds the outer periphery of the first connecting plate and is spaced apart from the first connecting plate. The light-transmitting part is connected between the outer ends of the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate to define an accommodation cavity together with the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate. The inner end of the accommodation cavity is open to form an annular wire routing opening. Thus, the structure is simple and convenient for processing and manufacturing.
[0015] In some embodiments of the present application, the first part and the second part are integrally formed parts. In this way, the processing technology of the decorative part can be simplified, the manufacturing cost can be reduced, and the structural strength of the decorative part can be improved.
[0016] In some embodiments of the present application, the first part surrounds the outer periphery of the second part. The first part includes a third connecting plate and a lamp shade. The third connecting plate is in the shape of an annular sheet and is connected to the outer peripheral edge of the second part. The lamp shade covers the outer surface of the third connecting plate and defines an accommodation cavity together with the third connecting plate. A wire routing opening is provided on the third connecting plate. The end wall of the lamp shade far from the third connecting plate defines the light-transmitting part. The lamp shade and the third connecting plate are not integrally formed parts. Generally, in order to be able to transmit light, the material of the light-transmitting part needs to be selected as a light-transmitting material, and light-transmitting materials are generally materials such as plastics and glasses, and this type of material has relatively low structural strength. In the present application, since the lamp shade and the third connecting plate are not integrally formed parts, that is to say, the lamp shade and the third connecting plate are processed separately and then assembled and connected. In this way, it is beneficial to select different materials to process the lamp shade and the third connecting plate respectively, thereby facilitating the selection of materials with relatively high structural strength to process the third connecting plate, and thus facilitating the improvement of the structural strength of the decorative part.
[0017] In some embodiments of the present application, there are multiple wire passing openings, and the multiple wire passing openings are spaced apart in the circumferential direction of the decorative member. One flash light module corresponds to one wire passing opening, and a part of each flash light module is received and fixed within the corresponding wire passing opening. In this way, on the one hand, it is convenient to reduce the height occupied by the flash light module in the receiving cavity, which is beneficial to reducing the height of the decorative member, and further beneficial to reducing the height of the electronic device.
[0018] In some embodiments of the present application, in order to simplify the processing process, reduce the production cost, and at the same time improve the reliability of the connection between the second part and the third connection plate, the third connection plate and the second part are integrally formed parts.
[0019] In some embodiments of the present application, the lamp cover is a plastic part, and the third connection plate and the second part are integrally a metal part. This is beneficial to improving the structural strength of the decorative member.
[0020] In some embodiments of the present application, the decorative member is located on the side facing the outer surface of the back cover and is fixed to a part of the outer surface of the back cover surrounding the mounting opening. Specifically, for the assembled electronic device, the relative positional relationship between the camera module and the mounting opening is fixed. When the decorative member is entirely on the side facing the outer surface of the back cover, the decorative member will be relatively far from the inside of the electronic device. For some camera modules with a relatively high height in the thickness direction of the electronic device, it is possible to avoid interference between the decorative member and the camera module, and avoid the situation where the decorative member squeezes the light incident end of the camera module, so as to meet the assembly height requirements of the camera module and simplify the installation of the decorative member, facilitating assembly.
[0021] In some embodiments of the present application, the decorative member includes a first portion fixed to a portion of the outer surface of the back cover surrounding the mounting opening. The first portion is formed with a receiving cavity, and the inner end of the receiving cavity has a wire routing opening communicating with the receiving cavity. A plurality of wire routing avoidance openings are provided on a portion of the back cover opposite to the wire routing opening, and the plurality of wire routing avoidance openings are spaced apart in the circumferential direction of the decorative member. The electronic device further includes a plurality of electrical connection structures, one flash module corresponding to one electrical connection structure and one wire routing avoidance opening. One end of each electrical connection structure is fixed and electrically connected to the corresponding flash module via the wire routing opening, and each electrical connection structure extends to the side facing the inner surface of the back cover after passing through the corresponding wire routing avoidance opening. In this way, on the one hand, during the installation process, after the decorative member and the back cover are installed in place, the flash modules can be installed in the receiving cavity in sequence via the wire routing avoidance opening and the wire routing opening. On the other hand, it is also convenient for one end of the electrical connection structure electrically connected to each flash module to pass through the wire routing avoidance opening corresponding to the flash module in sequence and be electrically connected to the corresponding flash module, so that the electrical connection structures of the plurality of flash modules can be spaced apart, facilitating the independence of the plurality of electrical connection structures from each other and preventing the problem of short circuit when the plurality of electrical connection structures are connected together.
[0022] In some embodiments of the present application, the outer surface of the back cover is recessed towards the inner surface of the back cover to form a first positioning groove. The first positioning groove is arranged around the mounting opening and extends towards the mounting opening to the mounting opening. The inner end of the first portion is fixed in the first positioning groove, and the wire routing avoidance opening is located at the first positioning groove. In this way, it is beneficial to reduce the height of the decorative member protruding from the outer surface of the back cover, thereby reducing the overall thickness of the electronic device.
[0023] In some embodiments of the present application, the decorative member passes through the mounting opening. In this way, it is beneficial to reduce the height of the decorative member protruding from the outer surface of the electronic device, thereby reducing the overall thickness of the electronic device and facilitating the realization of the thin design of the electronic device. Moreover, when the decorative member is provided with a wire routing opening, the wire routing opening of the decorative member can be located inside the electronic device. On the one hand, it is convenient for wire routing and shortens the wire routing path. On the other hand, compared with fixing the decorative member on the outer surface of the back cover and providing a wire routing avoidance opening corresponding to the wire routing opening on the back cover, the setting of the wire routing avoidance opening on the back cover can be omitted, which is beneficial to improving the structural strength of the back cover.
[0024] In some embodiments of the present application, a fixing flange is provided at the inner end of the outer peripheral surface of the decorative member. The fixing flange is arranged around the decorative member for one week and is fixed on the inner surface of the back cover. In this way, on the one hand, it is beneficial to improve the connection reliability between the decorative member and the back cover. On the other hand, the setting of the fixing flange can also play a role in blocking the gap between the outer peripheral surface of the decorative member and the inner peripheral surface of the mounting opening, thereby improving the waterproof and dustproof effect.
[0025] In some embodiments of the present application, the inner surface of the back cover is recessed towards the outer surface of the back cover to form a second positioning groove. The second positioning groove is arranged around the installation opening, and extends towards the installation opening to the installation opening. The fixing flange is fixed in the second positioning groove. In this way, on the one hand, the cooperation between the second positioning groove and the fixing flange can be used to realize the positioning and installation of the decorative member, improving the assembly efficiency. On the other hand, it is also beneficial to avoid the problem that the fixing flange protrudes from the inner surface of the back cover as a whole and occupies the internal space of the back shell due to the absence of the second positioning groove, thereby facilitating the optimization of the structural layout of the electronic device. In addition, for the assembled electronic device, the relative positional relationship between the camera module and the installation opening is fixed. When the second positioning groove is not provided, the decorative member will be relatively close to the inside of the electronic device. For some camera modules with a relatively high height in the thickness direction of the electronic device, this may cause interference between the decorative member and the camera module, and the situation where the decorative member squeezes the light incident end of the camera module. By providing the second positioning groove and fixing the fixing flange in the second positioning groove, the whole decorative member can be lifted, so as to avoid some relatively high camera modules and meet the assembly height requirements of the camera module.
[0026] In some embodiments of the present application, the decorative member includes a first part and a second part. The first part is connected and arranged around the second part in a circumferential manner. The first part forms a receiving cavity, and the second part has a light passing hole. The fixing flange is arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the first part. In the direction from the inside of the electronic device to the outside of the electronic device, the inner surface of the second part is located on the side away from the inside of the electronic device of the inner surface of the fixing flange.
[0027] In some embodiments of the present application, the electronic device further includes a light-transmitting cover plate. The light-transmitting cover plate is fixed to the decorative member and seals the outer end opening of the light passing hole, and the light-transmitting cover plate does not cover the light-transmitting part. In this way, on the one hand, using the light-transmitting cover plate to block the light passing hole can play a role in waterproofing and dustproofing, and at the same time does not affect the light from hitting the camera module. On the other hand, the light-transmitting cover plate does not block the light-transmitting part, so that the light emitted by the flash module can be projected more to the outside of the electronic device, improving the fill light effect.
[0028] In some embodiments of the present application, the decorative member includes a first part and a second part. One of the first part and the second part is connected and arranged around the other of the first part and the second part. The first part forms a receiving cavity and has a light-transmitting part, and the second part has a light passing hole; there is one light-transmitting cover plate, and the light-transmitting cover plate is laminated and fixed on the outer surface of the second part and covers all the light passing holes on the second part. In this way, using one light-transmitting cover plate to cover all the light passing holes can facilitate the simplification of the assembly process.
[0029] In some embodiments of the present application, one end of the first part with a light-transmitting part protrudes from the outer surface of the second part in a direction away from the inside of the electronic device, so as to define a receiving groove with the second part. The light-transmitting cover plate is located in the receiving groove, and the edge of the light-transmitting cover plate abuts against the side wall surface of the receiving groove. In this way, on the one hand, it is beneficial to reduce the thickness of the electronic device. On the other hand, the receiving groove can play a certain role in protecting the light-transmitting cover plate, so that when the electronic device falls, the light-transmitting cover plate will not be damaged by force, and further, the force received by the light-transmitting cover plate will not be further transmitted to the second part and the camera module, which is beneficial to improving the protection effect on the camera module.
[0030] Exemplarily, in order to further improve the protection effect on the light-transmitting cover plate, the outer surface of the light-transmitting part protrudes from the outer surface of the light-transmitting cover plate in a direction away from the inside of the electronic device.
[0031] Exemplarily, the height by which the outer surface of the light-transmitting part protrudes from the outer surface of the light-transmitting cover plate in a direction away from the inside of the electronic device is not greater than 1 mm. For example, the height by which the outer surface of the light-transmitting part protrudes from the outer surface of the light-transmitting cover plate in a direction away from the inside of the electronic device is about 0.1 mm, 0.2 mm, 0.3 mm, 0.4 mm or 0.5 mm. In this way, it is beneficial to reduce the thickness of the electronic device and prevent the problem of excessive thickness of the electronic device caused by the excessive height by which the outer surface of the light-transmitting part protrudes from the outer surface of the light-transmitting cover plate in a direction away from the inside of the electronic device.
[0032] Also exemplarily, the outer surface of the light-transmitting cover plate is flush with the outer surface of the light-transmitting part. In this way, on the one hand, it can improve the use feel of the electronic device and prevent the problem of scratching caused by the non-flush outer surfaces of the light-transmitting cover plate and the light-transmitting part. On the other hand, it is also beneficial to reduce the thickness of the electronic device and prevent the problem of excessive thickness of the electronic device caused by the height by which the outer surface of the light-transmitting part protrudes from the outer surface of the light-transmitting cover plate or the height by which the light-transmitting cover plate protrudes from the light-transmitting part.
[0033] In some embodiments of the present application, there are multiple light-transmitting cover plates and multiple light-passing holes. The multiple light-passing holes correspond to the multiple light-transmitting cover plates one by one, and each light-transmitting cover plate covers the outer end opening of the corresponding light-passing hole. In this way, it is beneficial to save the material cost of the light-transmitting cover plate.
[0034] In some embodiments of the present application, the decorative member includes a first part and a second part. One of the first part and the second part is connected to and surrounds the other of the first part and the second part. The first part is formed with a receiving cavity and has a light-transmitting portion, and the second part has a light-passing hole. When one end of the first part having the light-transmitting portion protrudes from the outer surface of the second part in a direction away from the interior of the electronic device to form a receiving groove, since there are multiple light-transmitting covers, when the multiple light-transmitting covers are disposed on the second part and received in the receiving groove, a cavity will be formed in the area of the receiving groove that is not covered by the light-transmitting covers. During actual use by the user, this part of the cavity is prone to dirt accumulation. In order to avoid dirt accumulation on the decorative member to a certain extent, the outer surface of the first part is flush with the outer surface of the second part.
[0035] In some embodiments of the present application, the decorative member includes a second part. The second part has the light-passing hole, and a plurality of annular flanges are provided on the outer surface of the second part. The plurality of annular flanges correspond to the plurality of light-passing holes one by one, and each annular flange surrounds the corresponding light-passing hole. The light-transmitting cover corresponding to the light-passing hole is fixed within the corresponding annular flange, and the edge of the light-transmitting cover abuts against the inner circumferential surface of the annular flange. In this way, on the one hand, it is beneficial to raise the position of the light-transmitting cover relative to the back cover. For some camera modules with a relatively high height in the thickness direction of the electronic device, it is beneficial to prevent interference between the light-incident end of the camera module and the light-transmitting cover. On the other hand, it can play a role in limiting the light-transmitting cover.
[0036] In some embodiments of the present application, one light-passing hole corresponds to one camera module. A positioning groove is provided at one end of the inner circumferential wall of the light-passing hole adjacent to the internal accommodation space of the electronic device. The positioning groove extends in a ring shape in the entire circumference of the light-passing hole, and the positioning groove extends towards the direction close to the internal accommodation space of the electronic device to the inner surface of the back cover. The outer peripheral edge of the light-incident end of the camera module corresponding to the light-passing hole is in positioning cooperation with the positioning groove. Thus, the positioning groove is utilized to position the camera module, ensuring the alignment accuracy between the camera module and the decorative member, and thus being beneficial to improving the shooting effect of the camera module.
[0037] In some embodiments of the present application, there is one light-passing hole and multiple camera modules. The light-incident ends of the multiple camera modules are located within one light-passing hole. In this way, one relatively large light-passing hole can be used to correspond to all the camera modules, which can not only enable normal shooting of the multiple camera modules, but also simplify the structure of the decorative member and reduce the manufacturing cost of the decorative member.
[0038] In some embodiments of the present application, the electronic device further includes a camera fixing bracket. The camera fixing bracket is located inside the back cover and is fixedly connected to the back cover. The camera fixing bracket is provided with a plurality of positioning holes, and the plurality of positioning holes correspond to the plurality of camera modules one by one. Each camera module passes through the positioning hole and is in positioning cooperation with the positioning hole. In this way, it is beneficial to improve the fixing effect of the camera module, prevent the camera module from shaking, and thus improve the shooting effect of the camera module.

When shooting in a scene with a fill light requirement such as at night, the flash can be used to fill light for the camera module to improve the shooting quality of the electronic device. However, the electronic devices in related technologies still have difficulty meeting the shooting requirements in some nights with relatively dim light, and the shooting quality of the electronic devices is poor. Also, in related technologies, in addition to including a camera module and a flash, an electronic device also includes a decorative part. In order to facilitate the flash to project light outside the electronic device, a flash hole penetrating the decorative part is often provided on the decorative part. The setting of the flash hole results in low structural strength of the decorative part, which is easy to damage, and the decorative part cannot provide good protection and hiding effects for the flash.
[0072] To solve the above technical problems, the improvement idea of this application is as follows: multiple flash modules are arranged in the electronic device, and the multiple flash modules are arranged at intervals. In this way, multiple flash modules can work simultaneously to improve the fill light effect, so that in a dim environment, the shooting quality of the electronic device can be improved, and the user experience can be enhanced. On this basis, instead of arranging a flash hole penetrating the decorative part on the decorative part, a receiving cavity for accommodating multiple flash modules is formed on the decorative part, and the decorative part has a light-transmitting part, and the light-transmitting part defines the wall surface at one end of the receiving cavity away from the inside of the electronic device, so that the flash module can be on the side facing the inner surface of the light-transmitting part, that is, the flash module can be hidden inside the light-transmitting part. Therefore, there is no need to arrange a flash hole penetrating the decorative part on the decorative part, and the flash module can project light to the outside of the electronic device to achieve the purpose of filling light for the camera module, which is also beneficial to improving the structural strength of the decorative part, and at the same time, the light-transmitting part can be used to protect and hide the flash module.
[0073] Based on the above improvement idea, the embodiments of this application are introduced in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Before introducing the embodiments of this application, the application scenarios of this application are first introduced.

[0082] The camera module 80 is used to take photos / videos. Exemplarily, the type of the camera module 80 may include but is not limited to a wide-angle camera module, a telephoto camera module, a main camera module, etc. In some embodiments, in order to improve the shooting quality of the electronic device 100, the number of the camera modules 80 is multiple. Wherein "multiple" means two or more. For example, as Figure 2 shown, the number of the camera modules 80 is three. Of course, it can be understood that in other examples, the number of the camera modules 80 can be one.
[0083] The camera module 80 is fixed within the internal accommodation space of the electronic device 100. The camera module 80 is the rear camera module of the electronic device 100. The camera module 80 can be fixed to the surface of the main circuit board 40 facing the back cover 21 by means such as screw connection, snap connection, welding, etc. In some other embodiments, the camera module 80 can be fixed to the surface of the middle plate 23 facing the back cover 21 by means such as screw connection, snap connection, welding, etc. Or, when the electronic device 100 does not include the middle plate 23, the camera module 80 can be fixed to the surface of the display screen 12 facing the back cover 21. The camera module 80 is electrically connected to the main circuit board 40 to facilitate introducing power and control signals to the camera module 80.
[0084] At the position on the back cover 21 corresponding to the camera module 80, there is an installation opening 211. The shape of the installation opening 211 includes but is not limited to circular, square, rectangular, oval, oblong or irregular shape.

In some examples, please continue to refer to Figure 2 , there are multiple light passing holes 63. The multiple light passing holes 63 are arranged at intervals. As described above, there are also multiple camera modules 80. The multiple camera modules 80 correspond to the multiple light passing holes 63 one by one. The multiple light passing holes 63 are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction of the decorative member 60. For example, the multiple light passing holes 63 are evenly arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction of the decorative member 60. In other examples, there can also be one camera module 80 and one light passing hole 63. As long as one camera module 80 corresponds to one light passing hole 63.
[0087] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 is Figure 1 A schematic cross-sectional structure diagram of the electronic device 100 shown at the A-A line. It should be noted that "at the A-A line" means at the plane where the A-A line and the arrows at both ends of the A-A line are located. The same understanding should be made for the description of similar drawings in the following text, and it will not be repeated hereinafter. Figure 3Only the cross-sectional structures of the back cover 21, the camera module 80, the decorative member 60, and the light-transmitting cover plate 90 in the electronic device 100 at the A-A line are shown, and other structures are not shown. The light incident end of each camera module 80 is positioned within the corresponding light-transmitting hole 63. Specifically, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 is an enlarged view of the circled portion at B of the electronic device 100 shown in Figure 3 . The inner end of the inner peripheral wall of the light-transmitting hole 63 (i.e., the end adjacent to the internal accommodation space of the electronic device 100) is provided with a positioning groove 65. The positioning groove 65 extends in a ring shape in the entire circumference of the light-transmitting hole 63. And the positioning groove 65 extends towards the direction of the internal accommodation space of the electronic device 100 to the inner surface of the back cover 21. The outer peripheral edge of the light incident end of the camera module 80 corresponding to the light-transmitting hole 63 is in positioning cooperation with the positioning groove 65, so as to use the positioning groove 65 to position the camera module 80, ensure the alignment accuracy between the camera module 80 and the decorative member 60, and thus be beneficial to improving the shooting effect of the camera module 80. Of course, it can be understood that in other examples, the positioning groove 65 may not be provided, but only the light incident end of the camera module is accommodated in the light-transmitting hole.
[0088] The flash module 70 is used to work when the electronic device 100 is in a dim environment, so as to project light to the outside of the electronic device 100 to supplement light for the shooting of the camera module 80 and improve the shooting effect of the camera module 80. Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , Figure 5 is a connection schematic diagram of the flash module 70 and the electrical connection structure 30 shown in Figure 2 . Figure 6 is an exploded schematic diagram of the flash module 70 and the electrical connection structure 30 shown in Figure 5 . The flash module 70 includes a circuit board 72 and a flash lamp 71 provided on the outer surface of the circuit board 72. The flash lamp 71 is used to introduce electric power by means of the circuit board 72. The flash lamp 71 can be arranged on the circuit board 72 by using surface mount technology (SMT) to reduce the thickness of the flash module 70. The circuit board 72 includes, but is not limited to, a printed circuit board (PCB) and a flexible printed circuit board (FPC). In one flash module 70, the number of flash lamps 71 includes, but is not limited to, one and multiple. When the number of flash lamps 71 is multiple, for example, the flash lamps 71 can be two or three, and multiple flash lamps 71 are arranged on one circuit board 72 at the same time.
[0089] In some embodiments, please continue to refer toFigure 5 and Figure 6 The flash module 70 further includes a reinforcing plate 74. The reinforcing plate 74 is stacked on the surface (i.e., the inner surface) of the circuit board 72 away from the flash lamp 71. In some embodiments, the reinforcing plate 74 is adhesively fixed to the surface of the circuit board 72 away from the flash lamp 71 by an adhesive layer. The reinforcing plate 74 is used to increase the structural strength of the circuit board 72 and prevent the circuit board 72 from being wrinkled and deformed. The reinforcing plate 74 can be selected as a metal plate. Exemplarily, it can be selected as an aluminum plate, a steel plate, an iron plate, etc. In this way, on the one hand, the circuit board 72 can be prevented from being wrinkled and deformed, and on the other hand, the heat conduction performance of the metal material is relatively good, which can play a role in dissipating heat from the circuit board 72. In other embodiments, the reinforcing plate 74 can also be selected as a plastic plate, a ceramic plate, a glass plate, etc., and no specific limitation is made in the embodiments of the present application. When the circuit board 72 is a PCB board, the structural strength of the circuit board 72 is relatively good, and it can prevent wrinkling and deformation by relying on its own structural strength, so the reinforcing plate 74 can also be not provided.
[0090] In some embodiments, please continue to refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The flash module 70 further includes a protective ring 73. The protective ring 73 is fixed on the circuit board 72, and the protective ring 73 is arranged around the circumference of the flash lamp 71. The height of the protective ring 73 protruding from the circuit board 72 is greater than or equal to the height of the flash lamp 71 protruding from the circuit board 72. In this way, the protective ring 73 can be used to protect the flash lamp 71 and prevent the flash module 70 from being damaged due to collision during transportation and installation. The material of the protective ring 73 can be metal, plastic, ceramic, glass, etc., and no specific limitation is made in the embodiments of the present application. In some embodiments, the material of the protective ring 73 can be selected as metal. Exemplarily, it can be stainless steel, aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy, etc. In this way, on the one hand, the structural stability of the metal material is relatively good and the protection effect is relatively good, and on the other hand, it can play a certain role in heat dissipation. Of course, it can be understood that in other examples, the protective ring 73 can also be not provided.
[0091] In order to introduce electric power into the flash module 70. In some embodiments, please continue to refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The electronic device 100 further includes an electrical connection structure 30. The electrical connection structure 30 can be an FPC, a PCB, or formed by braiding at least one wire with a flexible material, and no specific limitation is made here. One end of the electrical connection structure 30 is fixed and electrically connected to the flash module 70. Specifically, this end of the electrical connection structure 30 can be fixed and electrically connected to the circuit board 72 in the flash module 70. The other end of the electrical connection structure 30 is used to be fixed and electrically connected to the main circuit board 40. Exemplarily, this other end of the electrical connection structure 30 can be in contact with the Figure 2The main circuit boards 40 therein are electrically connected together.
[0092] In some embodiments, a plurality of flash modules 70 are in one-to-one correspondence and electrically connected with a plurality of electrical connection structures 30. In this way, separate independent wiring can be achieved for a plurality of different flash modules 70. When one of the electrical connection structures 30 is damaged due to extrusion, it will not affect the operation of other electrical connection structures 30, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the flash modules 70 corresponding to other electrical connection structures 30. Exemplarily, the circuit board 72 of the flash module 70 and the electrical connection structure 30 can be an integrally formed part, thereby improving the connection strength between the two. Also exemplarily, the circuit board 72 of the flash module 70 and the electrical connection structure 30 can also be connected by means such as gluing or welding. In other examples, one electrical connection structure 30 can also be fixed and electrically connected to all the flash modules 70.
[0093] The flash module 70 can be mounted on the decorative member 60. Please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 7 which is Figure 2 a schematic diagram of the assembly relationship between the decorative member 60 and the flash module 70 shown. The decorative member 60 further forms a receiving cavity 64. The receiving cavity 64 is spaced apart from the light passing hole 63. A plurality of flash modules 70 are spaced and arranged in the receiving cavity 64. Exemplarily, the flash module 70 can be adhesively bonded, welded or embedded in the receiving cavity 64 of the decorative member 60. By arranging the flash module 70 in the receiving cavity 64, it is beneficial to save the receiving space inside the electronic device 100, so as to facilitate the arrangement of other structures inside the electronic device 100.
[0094] In order to facilitate the light of the flash module 70 to emit out of the receiving cavity 64, the decorative member 60 includes a light-transmitting portion 611. The light-transmitting portion 611 is light-transmitting. The light-transmitting portion 611 is at the outer end of the receiving cavity 64, and the light-transmitting portion 611 defines the wall surface of the end (i.e., the outer end) of the receiving cavity 64 away from the inside of the electronic device 100. That is to say, the wall surface of the end of the receiving cavity 64 away from the inside of the electronic device 100 is defined by the light-transmitting portion 611. Each flash module 70 emits light toward the side where the light-transmitting portion 611 is located.
[0095] In this way, on the one hand, the setting of multiple flash modules 70 enables the electronic device 100 to have a good fill light effect, which can meet the shooting requirements in some dark nights and improve the shooting quality of the electronic device 100. On the other hand, by arranging multiple flash modules 70 in the accommodation cavity 64, with the flash modules 70 on the side facing the inner surface of the light-transmitting part 611, there is no need to set flash holes penetrating the decorative member 60 in the decorative member 60, which can not only ensure the normal operation of the flash modules 70, but also help improve the structural strength of the decorative member 60. At the same time, the decorative member 60 can play a role in protecting and hiding the flash modules 70.
[0096] Exemplarily, the material of the light-transmitting part 611 includes, but is not limited to, plastic and glass.
[0097] To improve the light-transmitting effect, the light transmittance of the light-transmitting part 611 is greater than or equal to 80%. For example, the light transmittance of the light-transmitting part 611 is 85% - 95%. Another example is that the light transmittance of the light-transmitting part 611 is 90% - 95%.
[0098] Please continue to refer to Figure 7 , one end of the accommodation cavity 64 adjacent to the inside of the electronic device 100 has a wiring opening 641. One end of each electrical connection structure 30 is fixed and electrically connected to the corresponding flash module 70 via this wiring opening 641, and the other end of each electrical connection structure 30 extends to the side facing the inner surface of the back cover 21 for easy cooperation with the main circuit board 40. This facilitates the wiring between the flash module 70 and the electrical connection structure 30, so as to introduce power into the flash module.
[0099] It can be understood that "one end of each electrical connection structure 30 is fixed and electrically connected to the corresponding flash module 70 via this wiring opening 641" includes three situations. Situation one: One end of each electrical connection structure 30 passes through the wiring opening 641 and extends into the accommodation cavity 64 to be fixed and electrically connected to the corresponding flash module 70 located in the accommodation cavity 64. Situation two is that the electrical connection structure 30 does not extend into the accommodation cavity 64, but the entire electrical connection structure 30 is located outside the accommodation cavity 64, and the flash module 70 passes through the wiring opening 641, and one end of each electrical connection structure 30 is fixed and electrically connected to the corresponding flash module 70 outside the accommodation cavity 64. Situation three is that one end of each electrical connection structure 30 is located within the wiring opening 641 and is fixed and connected to the corresponding flash module 70. To improve the fill light effect of the flash module 70 on the camera module 80, please continue to refer to Figure 7, in some embodiments, the decorative member 60 includes a first portion 61 and a second portion 62. Specifically, the first portion 61 and the second portion 62 are connected. The first portion 61 is annular, and the first portion 61 is disposed around the edge of the second portion 62 for one week. Exemplarily, the shape of the first portion 61 includes but is not limited to a circular ring, a square ring, a rectangular ring, or a special-shaped ring. The second portion 62 is sheet-shaped. Exemplarily, the shape of the second portion 62 includes but is not limited to a circle, a square, a rectangle, or a special shape, as long as the shapes of the first portion 61 and the second portion 62 are adapted to each other. In some other examples, it may also be that the second portion 62 is annular, and the second portion 62 is disposed around the edge of the first portion 61 for one week, as long as one of the first portion 61 and the second portion 62 surrounds the other of the first portion 61 and the second portion 62. In the following description, the example of the first portion 61 surrounding the second portion 62 is used for illustration.
[0100] Please continue to refer to Figure 7 , a receiving cavity 64 is formed in the first portion 61, and the first portion 61 includes a light-transmitting portion 611. The plurality of flash modules 70 in the receiving cavity 64 are spaced apart in the circumferential direction of the decorative member 60, that is, in the circumferential direction of the first portion 61. The light-passing holes 63 are specifically disposed on the second portion 62. In this way, the plurality of flash modules 70 are located on the outer periphery of the plurality of light-passing holes 63, so as to improve the light filling effect on the camera module 80 at the second portion 62, which can meet the shooting requirements in some dark nights and improve the shooting quality of the electronic device 100.
[0101] On this basis, in order to further improve the light filling effect of the flash module 70, in some embodiments, the receiving cavity 64 is an annular shape extending along the circumferential direction of the decorative member 60, and the light-transmitting portion 611 is an annular shape extending along the circumferential direction of the decorative member 60. In this way, when the flash module 70 works, the light projected by the flash module 70 can be projected onto the annular light-transmitting portion 611, so that the entire light-transmitting portion 611 presents a bright effect, forming an effect similar to an annular light strip. While being beneficial to further improving the light filling effect to improve the shooting quality of the electronic device 100, it is also beneficial to make the electronic device 100 more recognizable and competitive, and improve the user experience. In other examples, the receiving cavity 64 may also be an arc shape, a broken line shape or a special shape extending along the circumferential direction of the decorative member 60, and the light-transmitting portion 611 is an arc shape, a broken line shape or a special shape adapted to the extending shape of the receiving cavity 64.
[0102] On this basis, in some embodiments, multiple flash modules 70 are evenly spaced in the circumferential direction of the decorative member 60, thereby improving the uniformity of light at the light-transmitting portion 611, and further enhancing the fill light effect and fill light uniformity of the flash module 70 on the camera module 80. For example, when there are two flash modules 70, the two flash modules 70 are oppositely arranged in the radial direction of the first portion 61. Another example is that when there are three or more flash modules 70, among any three adjacent flash modules 70 along the circumference of the accommodation cavity 64, the distance between two adjacent flash modules 70 is equal to the distance between the other two adjacent flash modules 70.
[0103] On this basis, in order to further improve the fill light effect and fill light uniformity of the flash module 70 on the camera module 80, please refer to Figure 8 , Figure 8 is an assembly diagram of the decorative member 60 and the flash module 70 from another perspective according to Figure 2 . The central lines of the multiple light-passing holes 63 are orthogonally projected onto the same reference circle O in a plane parallel to the second portion 62, and the central line of the light-transmitting portion 611 is orthogonally projected onto the center O1 of the reference circle O in a plane parallel to the second portion 62. That is to say, the central line of the cylindrical surface where the central lines of the multiple light-passing holes 63 are located is collinear with the central line of the light-transmitting portion 611. In this way, on the one hand, it is beneficial to optimize the relative positional relationship between the light-transmitting portion 611 and the multiple light-passing holes 63, improving the fill light effect. On the other hand, the entire structure is more symmetrical, facilitating processing and manufacturing, and can also improve the aesthetic appearance of the electronic device 100. Of course, it can be understood that in other examples, when there is one light-passing hole 63, the one light-passing hole 63 corresponds to one camera module 80, and the central line of the light-passing hole is collinear with the central line of the light-transmitting portion.
[0104] On this basis, in order to further improve the fill light effect and fill light uniformity of the flash module 70 on the camera module 80, in some embodiments, the multiple light-passing holes 63 at the second portion 62 are evenly spaced in the circumferential direction of the decorative member 60.
[0105] Based on any of the above embodiments, please refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 , Figure 9 is a schematic cross-sectional structure diagram of the electronic device 100 at the B-B line as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 10 is an enlarged view of the circled portion at C of the electronic device 100 as shown in Figure 9 . Among them, Figure 9 and Figure 10Only the cross-sectional structures of the back cover 21, the flash module 70, the decorative member 60, and the light-transmitting cover plate 90 in the electronic device 100 at the B-B line are shown, and other structures are not shown. The first part 61 further includes a first connecting plate 612 and a second connecting plate 613. Both the first connecting plate 612 and the second connecting plate 613 are in the shape of an annular cylinder. The first connecting plate 612 is connected to the outer peripheral edge of the second part 62, and the second connecting plate 613 surrounds the outer periphery of the first connecting plate 612 and is spaced apart from the first connecting plate 612. The light-transmitting portion 611 is connected between the outer ends of the first connecting plate 612 and the second connecting plate 613. In this way, the first connecting plate 612, the light-transmitting portion 611, and the second connecting plate 613 define a receiving cavity 64. The inner end of the formed receiving cavity 64 can be open, thereby defining an annular wire routing opening 641. Thus, the structure is simple and convenient for processing and manufacturing.
[0106] Exemplarily, the flash module 70 can be adhesively fixed to the first connecting plate 612 and / or the second connecting plate 613. Also exemplarily, the flash module 70 is clamped between the first connecting plate 612 and the second connecting plate 613. Further exemplarily, the flash module 70 is clamped between the first connecting plate 612 and the second connecting plate 613, and the flash module 70 is adhesively bonded to the first connecting plate 612 and / or between the flash module 70 and the second connecting plate 613.
[0107] On this basis, in order to simplify the processing technology of the decorative member 60, reduce the manufacturing cost, and improve the structural strength of the decorative member 60, the first part 61 and the second part 62 are integrally formed parts. For example, when the decorative member 60 is a plastic part, the first part 61 and the second part 62 can be integrally injection molded by an injection molding process.
[0108] In some embodiments, please continue to refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 , the decorative member 60 is entirely on the side facing the outer surface of the back cover 21 and is fixed to a portion of the outer surface of the back cover 21 surrounding the mounting opening 211. Specifically, for the assembled electronic device 100, the relative positional relationship between the camera module 80 and the mounting opening 211 is fixed. When the decorative member 60 is entirely on the side facing the outer surface of the back cover 21, the decorative member 60 will be relatively far from the interior of the electronic device 100. For some camera modules 80 with a relatively high height in the Z direction, interference between the decorative member 60 and the camera module 80 can be avoided, and the situation where the decorative member 60 squeezes the light incident end of the camera module 80 can be avoided. Thus, the assembly height requirements of the camera module 80 can be met, and the installation of the decorative member 60 can be simplified, facilitating assembly.
[0109] Specifically, the orthographic projection of the first part 61 on the back cover 21 is located on the outer periphery of the installation opening 211. The first part 61 is fixed to the part of the outer surface of the back cover 21 surrounding the installation opening 211. A plurality of wire routing avoidance openings 213 are provided on the part of the back cover 21 opposite to the wire routing opening 641. The plurality of wire routing avoidance openings 213 are spaced apart in the circumferential direction of the decorative member 60. The plurality of wire routing avoidance openings 213 correspond to the plurality of flash modules 70 one by one. In this way, on the one hand, during the installation process, after the decorative member 60 and the back cover 21 are installed in place, the flash module 70 can be installed in the accommodation cavity 64 in sequence through the wire routing avoidance opening 213 and the annular wire routing opening 641. On the other hand, it is also convenient for one end of the electrical connection structure 30 electrically connected to each flash module 70 to pass through the wire routing avoidance opening 213 corresponding to the flash module 70 in sequence and be electrically connected to the corresponding flash module 70, so that the electrical connection structures 30 of the plurality of flash modules 70 can be spaced apart, facilitating the independence of the plurality of electrical connection structures 30 from each other and preventing the problem of short circuit when the plurality of electrical connection structures 30 are connected together.
[0110] Of course, it can be understood that in other examples, when all the flash modules 70 are electrically connected to the same electrical connection structure 30, the wire routing avoidance opening 213 can be one.
[0111] Specifically, the inner ends of the first connecting plate 612 and the second connecting plate 613 are both connected to the back cover 21. For example, the inner ends of the first connecting plate 612 and the second connecting plate 613 are both adhesively connected to the outer surface of the back cover 21.
[0112] On this basis, in order to further improve the connection reliability between the decorative member 60 and the back cover 21, the outer peripheral edge of the second part 62 is fixed to the area of the outer surface of the back cover 21 between the installation opening 211 and the first part 61. Specifically, the second part 62 includes a first sub - part 621 and a second sub - part 622. Among them, the edge of the orthographic projection of the first sub - part 621 on the back cover 21 coincides with the edge of the installation opening 211. The second sub - part 622 surrounds the outer periphery of the first sub - part 621. And the second sub - part 622 is fixed to the area of the outer surface of the back cover 21 between the installation opening 211 and the first part 61. Exemplarily, the second sub - part 622 is connected to the outer surface of the back cover 21 by means of adhesion or welding.
[0113] Since the decorative member 60 is fixed to the outer surface of the back cover 21, this will cause an increase in the overall thickness of the electronic device 100. In some embodiments, in order to reduce the thickness of the electronic device 100, please refer to Figure 11a and Figure 11b , Figure 11a is a schematic structural diagram of the electronic device 100 according to other embodiments of the present application. Figure 11bFor the exploded schematic view of the electronic device 100 as shown in Figure 11a . Only the back cover 21, the flash module 70, the decorative member 60, and the light-transmitting cover plate 90 are shown in Figure 11a and Figure 11b . Other structures are not shown. As shown in Figure 11b , the outer surface of the back cover 21 is recessed toward the inner surface of the back cover 21 to form a first positioning groove 212. The first positioning groove 212 is provided around the circumference of the mounting opening 211, and the first positioning groove 212 extends toward the mounting opening 211 to the mounting opening 211. Please refer to Figure 12 and Figure 13 . Figure 12 is the cross-sectional structure schematic view at the V-V line of the electronic device as shown in Figure 11a , Figure 13 is the enlarged view of the circled part at G of the electronic device as shown in Figure 12 . The inner end of the first part 61 is fixed in the first positioning groove 212, that is, the inner ends of the first connecting plate 612 and the second connecting plate 613 are located in the first positioning groove 212, and the wire routing avoidance opening 213 is located at the first positioning groove 212. In this way, it is beneficial to reduce the height of the decorative member 60 protruding from the outer surface of the back cover 21, thereby reducing the overall thickness of the electronic device 100. Of course, it can be understood that in other examples, the first positioning groove 212 may not be provided (in combination with Figure 2 and Figure 3 ).
[0114] Based on any of the above embodiments, please continue to refer to Figures 12 - 13 , the electronic device 100 further includes a light-transmitting cover plate 90. The material of the light-transmitting cover plate 90 includes but is not limited to glass and plastic. The light-transmitting cover plate 90 is fixed to the decorative member 60. The light-transmitting cover plate 90 is used to seal the outer end opening of the light-passing hole 63. The light-transmitting cover plate 90 does not cover the light-transmitting part 611. In this way, on the one hand, using the light-transmitting cover plate 90 to block the light-passing hole 63 can play a role in waterproofing and dustproofing, and at the same time does not affect the light from shining on the camera module 80. On the other hand, the light-transmitting cover plate 90 does not block the light-transmitting part 611, so that more light emitted by the flash module 70 can be projected to the outside of the electronic device 100, improving the fill light effect. In other examples, the light-transmitting cover plate 90 may also cover the light-passing hole 63 and the light-transmitting part 611 at the same time.
[0115] On this basis, in some embodiments, there is one light-transmitting cover plate 90, and the light-transmitting cover plate 90 is laminated and fixed on the outer surface of the second part 62 and covers all the light-passing holes 63 on the second part 62. In this way, using one light-transmitting cover plate 90 to cover all the light-passing holes 63 can be beneficial to simplify the assembly process.
[0116] On this basis, please continue to refer toFigure 12 and Figure 13 The outer end of the first part 61 (i.e., the end of the first part 61 with the light-transmitting part 611) protrudes from the outer surface of the second part 62 in the direction away from the inside of the electronic device 100. In this way, a receiving groove 66 can be defined between the outer surfaces of the first part 61 and the second part 62. The light-transmitting cover plate 90 is received in the receiving groove 66, and the edge of the light-transmitting cover plate 90 abuts against the side wall surface of the receiving groove. In this way, on the one hand, it is beneficial to reduce the thickness of the electronic device 100. On the other hand, the receiving groove 66 can play a certain role in protecting the light-transmitting cover plate 90, so that when the electronic device 100 falls, the light-transmitting cover plate 90 can be prevented from being damaged by force, and further, the force received by the light-transmitting cover plate 90 can be prevented from being further transmitted to the second part 62 and the camera module 80, which is beneficial to improving the protection effect on the camera module 80.
[0117] On this basis, in order to further improve the protection effect on the light-transmitting cover plate 90, the outer surface of the light-transmitting part 611 protrudes from the outer surface of the light-transmitting cover plate 90 in the direction away from the inside of the electronic device 100.
[0118] Exemplarily, the height by which the outer surface of the light-transmitting part 611 protrudes from the outer surface of the light-transmitting cover plate 90 in the direction away from the inside of the electronic device 100 is not greater than 1 mm. For example, the height by which the outer surface of the light-transmitting part 611 protrudes from the outer surface of the light-transmitting cover plate 90 in the direction away from the inside of the electronic device 100 is about 0.1 mm, 0.2 mm, 0.3 mm, 0.4 mm or 0.5 mm. In this way, it is beneficial to reduce the thickness of the electronic device 100 and prevent the problem that the thickness of the electronic device 100 is too thick due to the excessive height by which the outer surface of the light-transmitting part 611 protrudes from the outer surface of the light-transmitting cover plate 90 in the direction away from the inside of the electronic device 100.
[0119] In some other examples, the outer surface of the light-transmitting cover plate 90 and the outer surface of the light-transmitting part 611 may also be flush. In this way, on the one hand, the use feel of the electronic device 100 can be improved, and the problem of scratching can be prevented due to the non-flushness of the outer surface of the light-transmitting cover plate 90 and the outer surface of the light-transmitting part 611. On the other hand, it is also beneficial to reduce the thickness of the electronic device 100 and prevent the problem that the thickness of the electronic device 100 is thick due to the height by which the outer surface of the light-transmitting part 611 protrudes from the outer surface of the light-transmitting cover plate 90 in the direction away from the inside of the electronic device 100. In other examples, the outer surface of the light-transmitting part 611 may also be recessed from the outer surface of the light-transmitting cover plate 90 in the direction away from the inside of the electronic device 100.
[0120] Please refer to Figure 14 , Figure 14 which is an exploded schematic view of the electronic device 100 according to some other embodiments of the present application. Among them,Figure 14 Only the back cover 21, the flash module 70, the decorative member 60, and the light-transmitting cover plate 90 in the electronic device 100 are shown, and other structures are not shown. The Figure 14 shown embodiment is different from the Figures 1 - 13 shown embodiment in that: the structure of the first part 61 is different. Specifically, the first part 61 includes: a third connecting plate 614 and a lamp cover 615. The third connecting plate 614 is in a ring-shaped sheet form. The third connecting plate 614 is connected to the outer peripheral edge of the second part 62. The lamp cover 615 is disposed on the outer surface of the third connecting plate 614 to define an accommodation cavity 64 with the third connecting plate 614. For example, the lamp cover 615 has a covering space. One end of the covering space facing the third connecting plate 614 is open. The lamp cover 615 is disposed on the outer surface of the third connecting plate 614 so that the third connecting plate 614 can block the open end of the lamp cover 615, thereby defining the accommodation cavity 64. Among them, the end wall plate of the lamp cover 615 away from the third connecting plate 614 defines a light-transmitting portion 611. For example, the entire lamp cover 615 can be light-transmitting. Of course, it can be understood that in other examples, only the light-transmitting portion 611 in the lamp cover 615 is light-transmitting, and the rest of the structure of the lamp cover 615 is not light-transmitting. A wire passing port 641 is formed on the third connecting plate 614. In this way, it is beneficial to improve the structural strength of the decorative member 60 by using the connection between the lamp cover 615 and the third connecting plate 614.
[0121] Moreover, the lamp cover 615 and the third connecting plate 614 are non-integrally formed parts. Generally, in order to be light-transmitting, the material of the light-transmitting portion 611 needs to be selected as a light-transmitting material, and the light-transmitting material is generally a material such as plastic and glass, and the structural strength of this type of material is relatively low. In the present application, since the lamp cover 615 and the third connecting plate 614 are non-integrally formed parts, that is to say, the lamp cover 615 and the third connecting plate 614 are processed separately and then assembled and connected. In this way, it is beneficial to select different materials to process the lamp cover 615 and the third connecting plate 614 respectively. For example, the lamp cover 615 can be processed with plastic, and metals with relatively high structural strength such as aluminum, iron, and copper can be selected to process the third connecting plate 614 and the second part 62. That is to say, the lamp cover 615 is a plastic part, and the third connecting plate 614 and the second part 62 are integrally metal parts, thereby being beneficial to improving the structural strength of the decorative member 60.
[0122] On this basis, in order to simplify the processing process, reduce the production cost, and at the same time improve the connection reliability between the second part 62 and the third connecting plate 614, the second part 62 and the third connecting plate 614 are integrally formed parts. In other examples, the third connecting plate 614 and the second part 62 can also be connected by means such as welding, snap connection, gluing, or screw connection.
[0123] On this basis, in some embodiments, there are multiple wire passing openings 641. The multiple wire passing openings 641 correspond to the multiple flash lamp modules 70 one by one. In this way, one flash lamp module 70 corresponds to one wire passing opening 641, one wire passing avoidance opening 213, and one electrical connection structure 30. Thus, on the one hand, during the installation process, after the decorative member 60 and the back cover 21 are installed in place, the flash lamp module 70 can be installed in the accommodation cavity 64 through the corresponding wire passing avoidance opening 213 and wire passing opening 641 in sequence. On the other hand, it is also convenient for one end of the electrical connection structure 30 electrically connected to each flash lamp module 70 to pass through the corresponding wire passing avoidance opening 213 and be electrically connected to the corresponding flash lamp module 70 in sequence, so that the electrical connection structures 30 of the multiple flash lamp modules 70 can be spaced apart, facilitating the independence of the multiple electrical connection structures 30 from each other, facilitating the independent wire routing of the electrical connection structure 30 corresponding to each flash lamp module 70, and preventing the problem of short circuit when the multiple electrical connection structures 30 are connected together.
[0124] Please refer to Figure 15 and Figure 16 , Figure 15 is a schematic cross-sectional structure diagram of the electronic device 100 shown in Figure 14 . Figure 16 is a schematic cross-sectional structure diagram of the electronic device shown in Figure 15 and is an enlarged view of the circled part at D of the electronic device. Each flash lamp module 70 is fixed on the third connecting plate 614, and a part of each flash lamp module 70 is accommodated and fixed in the corresponding wire passing opening 641. In this way, on the one hand, it is convenient to reduce the height occupied by the flash lamp module 70 in the accommodation cavity 64, which is beneficial to reducing the height of the decorative member 60, and further beneficial to reducing the height of the electronic device 100.
[0125] Exemplarily, the flash lamp module 70 and the third connecting plate 614 can be fixedly connected by gluing.
[0126] On this basis, in order to further reduce the thickness of the electronic device 100, the third connecting plate 614 is located in the first positioning groove 212.
[0127] Please refer to Figure 17 and Figure 18 , Figure 17 is a schematic cross-sectional structure diagram of the electronic device 100 in some other embodiments of the present application, Figure 18 is an enlarged view of the circled part at E of the electronic device shown in Figure 17 . Among them, Figure 17 and Figure 18 only show the back cover 21, flash lamp module 70, decorative member 60, and light-transmitting cover plate 90 in the electronic device 100, and other structures are not shown. The Figure 17 and Figure 18 shown embodiments are the same asFigures 1 - 13 The difference of the illustrated embodiment is that: the decorative member 60 is no longer entirely on the side facing the outer surface of the back cover 21. Instead, the decorative member 60 is passed through the mounting opening 211. In this way, it is beneficial to reduce the height of the decorative member 60 protruding from the outer surface of the electronic device 100, thereby reducing the overall thickness of the electronic device 100, which is beneficial to realizing the thin design of the electronic device 100, and the wiring opening 641 of the decorative member 60 can be located inside the electronic device 100, thereby shortening the wiring path and eliminating the need to provide the wiring avoidance opening 213 on the back cover 21, which is beneficial to improving the structural strength of the back cover 21.
[0128] On this basis, in order to achieve the connection reliability between the decorative member 60 and the back cover 21, a fixing flange 616 is provided at the inner end of the outer peripheral surface of the decorative member 60. The fixing flange 616 is arranged around the decorative member 60 for one week. The fixing flange 616 is in the shape of an annular sheet. The fixing flange 616 is fixed on the inner surface of the back cover 21. In this way, it is not only beneficial to improve the connection reliability between the decorative member 60 and the back cover 21, but also can use the fixing flange 616 to block the gap between the decorative member 60 and the back cover 21, thereby improving the waterproof and dustproof effect. Exemplarily, the fixing flange 616 is fixed on the back cover 21 by gluing. Of course, in other examples, the fixing flange 616 may not be provided on the decorative member 60, but the outer peripheral surface of the decorative member 60 and the inner peripheral surface of the mounting opening 211 are used for fixing.
[0129] On this basis, in some embodiments, please continue to refer to Figure 18 , when the decorative member 60 includes a first part 61 and a second part 62. And, the first part 61 surrounds the outer periphery of the second part 62, and when the structure of the first part 61 is the same as that in the Figures 1 - 13 illustrated embodiment above, the fixing flange 616 is provided at the inner end of the outer peripheral surface of the second connecting plate 613. Exemplarily, the fixing flange 616 and the decorative member 60 are integrally formed, in this way, it is beneficial to improve the connection strength between the fixing flange 616 and the second connecting plate 613.
[0130] On this basis, in other embodiments, when the first part 61 of the decorative member 60 is the same as that in the previous Figures 14 - 16When the structures of the illustrated embodiments are the same, the fixed flange 616 can be disposed at the inner end of the outer peripheral surface of the lamp cover 615, or the fixed flange 616 can be disposed at the inner end of the outer peripheral surface of the third connecting plate 614. Exemplarily, when the fixed flange 616 is disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the lamp cover 615, the fixed flange 616 and the lamp cover 615 can be an integrally formed part. In this way, it is beneficial to improve the connection strength between the fixed flange 616 and the second connecting plate 613. Exemplarily, when the fixed flange 616 is disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the third connecting plate 614, the fixed flange 616 and the third connecting plate 614 can be an integrally formed part. In this way, it is beneficial to improve the connection strength between the fixed flange 616 and the third connecting plate 614.
[0131] On this basis, in some other embodiments, when the second part 62 surrounds the outer periphery of the first part 61, the fixed flange 616 can be disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the second part 62.
[0132] On the basis of the embodiments in which the fixed flange 616 is provided on any of the above decorative parts 60, in some embodiments, please continue to refer to Figure 18 , the inner surface of the back cover 21 is recessed toward the outer surface of the back cover 21 to form a second positioning groove 214. The second positioning groove 214 is provided around the circumference of the mounting opening 211, and the second positioning groove 214 extends toward the mounting opening 211 to the mounting opening 211. The fixed flange 616 is fixed in the second positioning groove 214. In this way, on the one hand, the cooperation between the second positioning groove 214 and the fixed flange 616 can be used to realize the positioning and installation of the decorative part 60, improving the assembly efficiency. On the other hand, it is also beneficial to avoid the problem that the entire fixed flange 616 protrudes from the inner surface of the back cover 21 due to the non - setting of the second positioning groove 214, thus occupying the internal space of the back shell 20, which is beneficial to optimizing the structural layout of the electronic device 100. In addition, for the assembled electronic device 100, the relative positional relationship between the camera module 80 and the mounting opening 211 is fixed. When the second positioning groove 214 is not provided, the decorative part 60 will be relatively close to the inside of the electronic device 100. For some camera modules 80 with a relatively high height in the Z - direction, this may cause interference between the decorative part 60 and the camera module 80, such as the situation where the decorative part 60 squeezes the light - incident end of the camera module 80. By providing the second positioning groove 214 and fixing the fixed flange 616 in the second positioning groove 214, the decorative part 60 can be lifted as a whole, so as to avoid some camera modules 80 with a relatively high height and meet the assembly height requirements of the camera module 80.
[0133] Please continue to refer to Figure 18, in some embodiments, in the direction from the inside of the electronic device 100 to the outside of the electronic device 100, the inner surface of the second part 62 is located on the side away from the inside of the electronic device 100 of the inner surface of the fixed flange 616. In this way, the second part 62 can be lifted as a whole relative to the fixed flange 616, so as to avoid some camera modules 80 with relatively high heights, so as to meet the assembly height requirements of the camera modules 80.
[0134] Please refer to Figure 19 and Figure 20 , Figure 19 is a perspective view of the electronic device 100 according to some other embodiments of the present application. Figure 20 is according to Figure 19 shown exploded schematic view of the electronic device 100. Among them, Figure 19 and Figure 20 only show the back cover 21, the flash module 70, the decorative member 60 and the light-transmitting cover plate 90 in the electronic device 100, and other structures are not shown. The Figures 19 - 20 shown embodiment is different from the Figures 14 - 16 shown embodiment in that: the light-transmitting holes 63 of the second part 62 are no longer covered by a single light-transmitting cover plate 90, and the light-transmitting cover plate 90 is no longer stacked on the outer surface of the second part 62. Specifically, in this embodiment, there are multiple light-transmitting cover plates 90. Figures 19 - 20 shows that there are three light-transmitting cover plates 90. The multiple light-transmitting cover plates 90 correspond to the multiple light-transmitting holes 63 one by one. Each light-transmitting cover plate 90 is disposed at the outer end opening of the corresponding light-transmitting hole 63.
[0135] On this basis, in some embodiments, when one end of the first part 61 having the light-transmitting portion 611 protrudes from the outer surface of the second part 62 in the direction away from the inside of the electronic device 100 to form the receiving groove 66, since there are multiple light-transmitting cover plates 90, when the multiple light-transmitting cover plates 90 are disposed on the second part 62 and received in the receiving groove 66, cavities will be formed in the areas of the receiving groove 66 that are not covered by the light-transmitting cover plates 90. During actual use by the user, these cavities are prone to dirt accumulation. In order to avoid the occurrence of this problem to a certain extent, please continue to refer to Figure 19 , the outer end surface of the first part 61 is flush with the outer end surface of the second part 62. In this way, on the one hand, it is beneficial to at least prevent dirt accumulation of the decorative member 60 to a certain extent and improve the user experience. On the other hand, it can prevent the problem of the increase in the thickness of the electronic device 100 caused by one end of the first part 61 having the light-transmitting portion 611 protruding from the outer surface of the second part 62 in the direction away from the inside of the electronic device 100.
[0136] On this basis, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 21 and Figure 22 ,Figure 21 is a perspective view of the decorative member 60 shown in Figure 19 . Figure 22 is a schematic cross-sectional structure view of the electronic device 100 at H-H according to Figure 19 . A plurality of annular flanges 624 are provided on the outer surface of the second part 62. The plurality of annular flanges 624 correspond to the plurality of light-transmitting holes 63 one by one. Each annular flange 624 is disposed around the corresponding light-transmitting hole 63. The light-transmitting cover plate 90 corresponding to the light-transmitting hole 63 is fixed within the corresponding annular flange 624, and the edge of the light-transmitting cover plate 90 abuts against the inner circumferential surface of the annular flange 624. The arrangement of the annular flanges 624 is beneficial to raising the position of the light-transmitting cover plate 90 relative to the back cover 21. For some camera modules 80 with a relatively high height in the Z direction, it is beneficial to prevent interference between the light-incident end of the camera module 80 and the light-transmitting cover plate 90. On the other hand, it can play a role in limiting the light-transmitting cover plate 90.
[0137] Please refer to Figure 23 and Figure 24 , Figure 23 , which is an exploded view of the electronic device 100 according to some other embodiments of the present application. Figure 24 is a schematic cross-sectional structure view of the electronic device 100 according to Figure 23 . Among them, Figure 23 and Figure 24 only show the back cover 21, the flash module 70, the camera module 80, the decorative member 60 and the light-transmitting cover plate 90 in the electronic device 100, and other structures are not shown. The difference between this embodiment and any one of the embodiments in Figures 1 - 22 is that: there is one light-transmitting hole 63. One light-transmitting hole 63 corresponds to a plurality of camera modules 80. The light-incident end of each camera module 80 is received within the light-transmitting hole 63. In this way, a relatively large light-transmitting hole 63 can be used to correspond to all the camera modules 80, which can not only realize the normal shooting of the plurality of camera modules 80, but also simplify the structure of the decorative member 60 and reduce the manufacturing cost of the decorative member 60.
[0138] On this basis, in order to further improve the light filling effect and light filling uniformity of the flash module 70 on the camera module 80, the center line of the light-transmitting hole 63 is collinear with the center line of the light-transmitting portion 611. In this way, the whole structure is more symmetrical, which is convenient for processing and manufacturing, and can also improve the appearance beauty of the electronic device 100.
[0139] Since a plurality of camera modules 80 correspond to the same light-transmitting hole 63, in this way, the positioning effect of the light-transmitting hole 63 on the camera module 80 is poor, and even it cannot play a role in positioning the camera module 80. On this basis, in order to realize the positioning of the camera module 80, please refer to Figure 25 ,Figure 25 The cross-sectional structural schematic diagram of the electronic device 100 provided for some other embodiments of the present application. The electronic device 100 further includes a camera fixing bracket 50. The material of the camera fixing bracket 50 includes but is not limited to metal and plastic. The camera fixing bracket 50 is located inside the back cover 21 and is fixedly relative to the back cover 21.
