[0025] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 An embodiment of the present application discloses an electronic device, which includes a housing 140 , a camera decorative ring 150 , a camera 200 and a first elastic member 400 .

[0026] The housing 140 is a basic component of the electronic device, and is used to provide a mounting position for other components of the electronic device, wherein the camera 200, the camera bezel 150, and the cover plate 300 described later are all disposed on the housing 140. In addition, the housing 140 is also used to form some functional spaces or structures, such as the inner cavity 110, the positioning through hole 130, and the mounting hole 141 described later.

[0027] The camera 200 is a core component for realizing the shooting function in the electronic device, and the camera decorative ring 150 is used to improve the appearance of the electronic device and to provide a mounting position for other components of the electronic device. The camera decorative ring 150 is arranged in the mounting hole 141, and the inner cavity 110 is connected to the mounting hole 141. The camera decorative ring 150 has a positioning bracket 153 on the side facing the inner cavity 110, that is, the positioning bracket 153 is located in the inner cavity 110, and the positioning bracket 153 forms a positioning through hole 130. The inner cavity 110 is connected to the positioning through hole 130, and the camera 200 in the inner cavity 110 at least partially extends into the positioning through hole 130. The camera 200 is positioned in the positioning through hole 130 and shoots through the positioning through hole 130. The positioning through hole 130 also includes the function of the avoidance hole described in the background technology.

[0028] The first elastic member 400 is sleeved on the outer peripheral side of the positioning through hole 130, so that the positioning bracket 153 and the peripheral side wall of the camera 200 are pressed tightly by the first elastic member 400, so that the hole wall of the positioning through hole 130 can press the peripheral side wall of the camera 200 under the action of the first elastic member 400, so as to prevent the camera 200 from shaking in the positioning through hole 130, so that the camera 200 can be stably and more accurately positioned in the positioning through hole 130. Among them, the first elastic member 400 can be sleeved on the outer surface of the positioning bracket 153, and can be arranged around the positioning through hole 130. In addition, the first elastic member 400 can be a rubber ring or a spring ring, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0029] The electronic device disclosed in the embodiment of the present application improves the structure of the electronic device involved in the related art, by providing a positioning bracket 153 on the side of the camera decorative ring 150 facing the inner cavity 110, and by forming a positioning through hole 130 with the positioning bracket 153, and sleeved on the outer peripheral side of the positioning through hole 130, and the camera 200 at least partially extends into the positioning through hole 130, so that the positioning bracket 153 can be pressed against the peripheral side wall of the camera 200 by the first elastic member 400. In this structure, the camera 200 can be directly positioned in the positioning through hole 130 by cooperating with the positioning through hole 130, and at the same time, the positioning bracket 153 is pressed against the peripheral side wall of the camera 200 by the first elastic member 400, so that the camera 200 can be more accurately positioned in the positioning through hole 130, so that the camera 200 is opposite to the positioning through hole 130, thereby avoiding affecting the shooting effect of the electronic device.

[0030] Furthermore, the electronic device may further include a cover plate 300, which may be used in the electronic device to protect other components in the electronic device. The housing 140 and the camera decorative ring 150 may constitute at least part of the housing 100, that is, the housing 100 may include the housing 140 and the camera decorative ring 150, and the cover plate 300 may be disposed in the mounting hole 141, the cover plate 300 may block the mounting hole 141, and may be located on the side of the camera decorative ring 150 away from the inner cavity 110, thereby preventing dust, water vapor, etc. in the external environment of the electronic device from entering the inner cavity 110 through the mounting hole 141, and easily polluting the working environment of the inner cavity 110.

[0031] In this case, the cover plate 300 can cover the camera decorative ring 150, so that the cover plate 300 covers the positioning through hole 130 on the camera decorative ring 150. At the same time, in order to improve the installation stability of the cover plate 300, the cover plate 300 can be fixedly connected to the camera decorative ring 150. Specifically, the cover plate 300 can be bonded to the camera decorative ring 150 by glue or double-sided tape 600. This structure is relatively simple and can stably connect the cover plate 300 to the camera decorative ring 150.

[0032] The cover plate 300 may have a light-transmitting area 310 and a light-shielding area 320 connected to each other. The light-shielding area 320 may be arranged around the light-transmitting area 310. The light-transmitting area 310 may be opposite to the positioning through hole 130, so that the camera 200 is opposite to the light-transmitting area 310, so that the light in the external environment of the electronic device can pass through the light-transmitting area 310 and the positioning through hole 130 in sequence and enter the camera 200, thereby ensuring that the electronic device can shoot normally. In addition, the cover plate 300 may be provided with the light-transmitting area 310 and the light-shielding area 320 by silk-screen printing or coating, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0033] In an optional technical solution, the central axis of the lens 210 of the camera 200 can coincide with the central axis of the positioning through hole 130, so that the central axis of the lens 210 of the camera 200 can coincide with the central axis of the positioning through hole 130, so that the lens 210 can be more accurately aligned with the positioning through hole 130, and then the camera 200 can be better aligned with the positioning through hole 130. Of course, if there is a preset deviation within the allowable range between the central axis of the lens 210 of the camera 200 and the central axis of the positioning through hole 130, and it does not affect the normal shooting of the camera 200, then it can also be considered that the lens 210 is aligned with the positioning through hole 130.

[0034] The central axis of the light-transmitting area 310 can coincide with the central axis of the positioning through hole 130, and the central axis of the lens 210 coincides with the central axis of the positioning through hole 130, so that the central axis of the lens 210 can coincide with the central axis of the light-transmitting area 310, so that the lens 210 can be more accurately aligned with the light-transmitting area 310, so that the light in the external environment of the electronic device can pass through the light-transmitting area 310 and the positioning through hole 130 in turn and enter the lens 210, so that the camera 200 can shoot normally. At the same time, this structure allows other structures in the camera 200 except the lens 210 to be covered by the light-shielding area 320, avoiding exposure to the electronic device through the light-transmitting area 310, thereby avoiding affecting the aesthetics of the electronic device.

[0035] In order to further improve the stability of the positioning of the camera 200 in the positioning through hole 130, the positioning bracket 153 can also be provided with an installation groove 151, and the installation groove 151 can be arranged in a ring on the outer peripheral side of the positioning through hole 130, that is, the installation groove 151 can be arranged around the positioning through hole 130, and the first elastic member 400 can be arranged in the installation groove 151 to press the positioning bracket 153 and the peripheral side wall of the camera 200, so that the hole wall of the positioning through hole 130 can be pressed against the peripheral side wall of the camera 200 under the action of the first elastic member 400, and at the same time, the first elastic member 400 can be stably sleeved on the outer peripheral side of the positioning through hole 130 through the installation groove 151, thereby reducing the risk of the first elastic member 400 being displaced or falling off, resulting in the hole wall of the positioning through hole 130 being difficult to stably press the peripheral side wall of the camera 200, so that the camera 200 can be more stably positioned in the positioning through hole 130.

[0036] At the same time, the installation groove 151 is provided on the positioning bracket 153 to reduce the thickness of the local area of ​​the positioning bracket 153, so that the local area of ​​the positioning bracket 153 provided with the installation groove 151 is more likely to deform, thereby being more conducive to achieving the tight compression of the positioning bracket 153 and the peripheral side wall of the camera 200. It should be noted that the thickness direction of the local area of ​​the positioning bracket 153 is parallel to the notch direction of the installation groove 151.

[0037] In addition, when the first elastic member 400 is sleeved on the outer surface of the positioning bracket 153 , the mounting groove 151 can be provided on the outer surface of the positioning bracket 153 , so that the first elastic member 400 can be stably sleeved on the outer peripheral side of the positioning through hole 130 .

[0038] In one embodiment, the camera decorative ring 150 may further include a decorative ring body 152, the decorative ring body 152 and the positioning bracket 153 may be connected, the decorative ring body 152 may be partially disposed in the inner cavity 110, the positioning bracket 153 may be disposed in the inner cavity 110, the decorative ring body 152 may be fixed to the mounting hole 141, the positioning through hole 130 may be disposed in the positioning bracket 153, and may penetrate to the surface of the decorative ring body 152 opposite to the cover plate 300, and the light-transmitting area 310 and the lens 210 are both opposite to the positioning through hole 130, so that the light in the external environment of the electronic device can pass through the light-transmitting area 310 and the positioning through hole 130 in sequence and enter the lens 210, so that the camera 200 can shoot normally. In addition, the decorative ring body 152 and the positioning bracket 153 may be an integrated structure or a split structure, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0039] In an embodiment of the present application, the hole wall of the positioning through hole 130 may have a protrusion 131, that is, the protrusion 131 may be distributed in the positioning through hole 130, the extension direction of the protrusion 131 may be parallel to the penetration direction of the positioning through hole 130, and the protrusion 131 may extend to the opening of the positioning through hole 130 facing the inner cavity 110. The opening of the positioning through hole 130 facing the inner cavity 110 can be an installation opening. This structure enables the camera 200 to be installed into the positioning through hole 130 from the installation opening of the positioning through hole 130. The side of the camera 200 opposite to the protrusion 131 can contact the protrusion 131, and enter the positioning through hole 130 by cooperating with the protrusion 131. The contact area between the protrusion 131 and the camera 200 is small, thereby reducing the friction between the camera 200 and the hole wall of the positioning through hole 130 during the process of the camera 200 being installed into the positioning through hole 130, thereby making it easier for the camera 200 to be installed in the positioning through hole 130.

[0040] In order to further reduce the difficulty of installing the camera 200 in the positioning hole 130, the hole wall of the positioning hole 130 may include a plurality of interconnected side walls 132, and each side wall 132 may have a protrusion 131, so that each side wall 132 can contact the camera 200 through the protrusion 131, which is beneficial to further reduce the contact area between the camera 200 and each side wall 132, thereby further reducing the friction between the camera 200 and each side wall 132, making the installation of the camera 200 easier.

[0041] Of course, the protrusion 131 can be an arc-shaped protrusion, which allows the protrusion to have a smaller contact area with the camera 200, thereby allowing the camera 200 to have a smaller friction with each side wall 132, thereby further reducing the difficulty of installing the camera 200 in the positioning hole 130.

[0042] In one embodiment, the hole wall of the positioning through hole 130 may include four interconnected side walls 132, and each of the four side walls 132 may have a protrusion 131, so that the four side walls 132 can respectively contact the camera 200 through the protrusion 131 to reduce the contact area between the camera 200 and each side wall 132, thereby reducing the friction between the camera 200 and each side wall 132, making it easier to install the camera 200. In this structure, the positioning through hole 130 can be a rectangular groove, which is convenient for processing and has a high positioning accuracy, so that the camera 200 can be accurately positioned.

[0043] In a feasible technical solution, each side wall 132 may have a plurality of protrusions 131, and the plurality of protrusions 131 of each side wall 132 may be spaced apart from each other, so that in the process of installing the camera 200 into the positioning through hole 130, the plurality of protrusions 131 on each side wall 132 may cooperate with each other, so that the camera 200 may be stably installed.

[0044] Optionally, the multiple protrusions 131 of each side wall 132 can be evenly spaced apart so that stress can be evenly dispersed to each protrusion 131 during the process of installing the camera 200 into the positioning hole 130, which is beneficial to further improve the stability of the installation of the camera 200 and reduce the wear on each protrusion 131, thereby helping to extend the service life of each protrusion 131.

[0045] In a further technical solution, the plurality of protrusions 131 may have protrusion heights in the protrusion direction, respectively, and at least some of the plurality of protrusions 131 on each side wall 132 may have different protrusion heights. In this structure, the hole wall of the positioning through hole 130 has a certain elasticity, and the hole wall of the positioning through hole 130 is prone to elastic deformation during the process of installing the camera 200 to the positioning through hole 130. In this case, each side wall 132 deforms toward the outside of the positioning through hole 130, which makes the plurality of protrusions 131 on each side wall 132 approach each other until the adjacent protrusions 131 collide with each other, thereby limiting the deformation of the corresponding side wall 132.

[0046] When each side wall 132 is deformed toward the outside of the positioning through hole 130, at least some of the multiple protrusions 131 of each side wall 132 have different protrusion heights. Compared with the multiple protrusions 131 of each side wall 132 having the same protrusion height, the multiple protrusions 131 close to each other on each side wall 132 are less likely to conflict with each other, thereby making it easier for each side wall 132 to elastically deform and have a larger elastic deformation amount, thereby facilitating the installation of the camera 200.

[0047] It is feasible that one or two of the multiple protrusions 131 on each side wall 132 may have different protrusion heights. At the same time, in this case, the difference in the protrusion heights of the multiple protrusions 131 on each side wall 132 may be greater than 0 mm and less than 0.02 mm, thereby preventing each side wall 132 from being too easily elastically deformed, which may cause the hole wall of the positioning through hole 130 to be difficult to hold the camera 200 tightly when the camera 200 is installed in the positioning through hole 130, thereby easily affecting the reliability of the positioning of the camera 200 in the positioning through hole 130.

[0048] In order to further improve the stability of the camera 200 when installed in the positioning hole 130, the peripheral side wall of the camera 200 may have a plurality of connected sub-peripheral side walls, each of which may respectively contact the raised portion 131 of each side wall 132, thereby limiting the movement of the camera 200 in a direction opposite to each side wall 132, so that the camera 200 can be more stably installed in the positioning hole 130.

[0049] In one embodiment, the hole wall of the positioning through hole 130 may also have a guiding bevel 133. The guiding bevel 133 may be arranged at the opening of the positioning through hole 130 toward the inner cavity 110, and may be arranged around the opening, that is, the guiding bevel 133 may be arranged at the installation opening, and may surround the installation opening. The guiding bevel 133 is inclined in the direction away from the hole wall of the positioning through hole 130, so that the area of ​​the opening of the positioning through hole 130 toward the inner cavity 110 can be increased by the guiding bevel 133, so that the camera 200 is easier to install into the positioning through hole 130, and when the camera 200 is installed in the positioning through hole 130, the guiding bevel can be used to guide the camera 200 into the positioning through hole 130, so that the installation of the camera 200 is more convenient.

[0050] In the embodiment of the present application, the camera 200 may include a lens 210 and a mounting frame 220, the lens 210 may be arranged on the mounting frame 220, the hole wall of the positioning through hole 130 may have a step surface 134, the mounting frame 220 and the step surface 134 may be in contact with each other, so that the mounting frame 220 is pressed against the cavity wall of the inner cavity 110 along the penetration direction of the positioning through hole 130 through the step surface 134. It should be noted that the penetration direction of the positioning through hole 130 may be parallel to the thickness direction of the electronic device, and the thickness direction of the electronic device may be perpendicular to the screen. In other words, this structure can prevent the mounting frame 220 from moving in the thickness direction of the electronic device, so that the lens 210 can be fixed in the thickness direction of the electronic device through the mounting frame 220, and finally the camera 200 can be fixed in the thickness direction of the electronic device.

[0051] In order to improve the reliability of fixing the camera 200 in the thickness direction of the electronic device, the electronic device may further include a second elastic member 500, which may be disposed between the step surface 134 and the mounting frame 220, so that the step surface 134 elastically presses the mounting frame 220 to the cavity wall of the inner cavity 110 along the penetration direction of the positioning through hole 130 through the second elastic member 500, thereby more effectively preventing the mounting frame 220 from moving in the thickness direction of the electronic device, so as to more stably fix the mounting frame 220 in the thickness direction of the electronic device, thereby more stably fixing the lens 210 in the thickness direction of the electronic device, and further facilitating improving the reliability of fixing the camera 200 in the thickness direction of the electronic device. Specifically, the second elastic member 500 may be foam or rubber, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0052] The electronic device disclosed in the embodiments of the present application may be a smart phone, a tablet computer, an e-book reader, a wearable device (such as a smart watch), an electronic game console, or the like. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the specific types of electronic devices.

[0053] The above embodiments of the present invention focus on the differences between the various embodiments. As long as the different optimization features of the various embodiments are not contradictory, they can be combined to form a better embodiment. Considering the simplicity of the text, they will not be repeated here.

[0054] The embodiments of the present invention are described above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned specific implementation modes, which are merely illustrative rather than restrictive. Under the guidance of the present invention, ordinary technicians in this field can also make many forms without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention and the claims, all of which are within the protection of the present invention.
