[0078] That is, impurities such as water vapor and dirt in the external environment will flow to the switch 310 through the gap 900 and the channel 1100 between the battery cover 600 and the frame 100 .

[0079] Therefore, the present application reasonably arranges the structure of the electronic device 10 so that the third seal 700 is located between the battery cover 600 and the frame 100, and the third seal 700 is used to disconnect the gap 900 between the battery cover 600 and the frame 100 from the switch 310. In this way, impurities such as water vapor and dirt in the external environment will not enter the switch 310 of the flexible circuit board 300 through the gap 900 between the battery cover 600 and the frame 100. This is conducive to extending the service life of the flexible circuit board 300 and improving the product's performance and market competitiveness.

[0080] Alternatively, if Figure 7 As shown, the electronic device 10 further includes a display screen 800 , which is disposed on the frame 100 . The display screen 800 is disposed opposite to the battery cover 600 .

[0081] In some embodiments of the present application, the first seal 500 includes a silicone seal and / or a rubber seal, the second seal 1000 includes a silicone seal and / or a rubber seal, and the third seal 700 includes a sealant.

[0082] In the embodiment of the present application, the type of the first sealing member 500 is limited. Specifically, the first sealing member 500 includes a silicone seal and / or a rubber seal.

[0083] In the embodiment of the present application, the type of the second sealing member 1000 is limited. Specifically, the second sealing member 1000 includes a silicone seal and / or a rubber seal.

[0084] In the embodiment of the present application, the type of the third sealing member 700 is limited. Specifically, the third sealing member 700 includes a sealant.

[0085] Optionally, the present application adds a second seal 1000 (e.g., the second seal 1000 is a flexible member) to the striking column 420 of the key 400 without increasing the width of the key 400, so that the second seal 1000 and the frame 100 are pre-pressed to interrupt the dust inlet path at the side wall of the key 400.

[0086] Optionally, the present application sets a first seal 500 (e.g., the first seal 500 is a flexible member) between the frame 100 and the bracket 200. Specifically, the first seal 500 includes a first seal portion 510, a second seal portion 520, and a third seal portion 530. The frame 100 is provided with a first boss 120, a second boss 130, and a third boss 140. The first seal portion 510 abuts against the first boss 120, the second seal portion 520 abuts against the second boss 130, and the third seal portion 530 abuts against the third boss 140. That is, the first seal 500 is used to block the gap between the frame 100 and the bracket 200, interrupting the dust inlet path at the hanging foot 410 of the button 400. Although dust can enter the interior of the whole machine, it cannot reach the switch 310, thereby maintaining a good feel for a long time and extending the service life of the product.

[0087] like Figure 2 As shown, two first sealing parts 510 , one second sealing part 520 and one third sealing part 530 are attached to the bracket 200 , and the two first sealing parts 510 , one second sealing part 520 and one third sealing part 530 are all used to contact and seal with the frame 100 .

[0088] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the key 400 is provided with a striking column 420, and a second sealing member 1000 (e.g., the second sealing member 1000 includes a flexible ring) is provided on the side wall of the striking column 420. The second sealing member 1000 includes a silicone seal and / or a rubber seal. The key 400 is also provided with a hanging foot 410, which is used to assemble with the bracket 200 to define the key 400.

[0089] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the flexible ring located on the striking column 420 interrupts the dust inlet path between the side wall of the key 400 and the frame 100 .

[0090] like Figure 7 As shown, the battery cover 600 is bonded to the frame 100 through the third seal 700 (e.g., the third seal 700 includes sealant). The sealant and the frame 100 have a certain overlap width, blocking the dust inlet path from the gap 900 between the battery cover 600 and the frame 100 to the switch 310 of the flexible circuit board 300.

[0091] like Figure 8 As shown, the button 400 on the left is a volume button, and the hanging leg 410 of the volume button is fixed by the bracket 200 so that the volume button cannot fall out. The frame 100 is provided with two first bosses 120, and the hanging leg 410 of the volume button is located between the two first bosses 120.

[0092] like Fig. 9and Fig.10 As shown, the first boss 120 , the second boss 130 , the third boss 140 on the frame 100 and the first sealing portion 510 , the second sealing portion 520 , and the third sealing portion 530 on the bracket 200 are in corresponding contact, sealing and isolating dust entering from the hanging foot 410 of the button 400 .

[0093] Alternatively, if Figure 8 As shown, the pre-compression seal is performed in the thickness direction of the whole machine, and does not occupy the space in the width direction of the whole machine.

[0094] Optionally, the bracket 200 does not use the flexible first sealing member 500 for pre-compression, and the first sealing member 500 can be integrally formed by injection molding on the bracket 200, and the first sealing member 500 is in contact with the first boss 120, the second boss 130 and the third boss 140 of the frame 100 to achieve sealing. In other words, the first sealing member 500 provided on the bracket 200 can be a flexible member or a rigid member.

[0095] Alternatively, if Figure 7 As shown, the electronic device 10 further includes a display screen 800 , and the display screen 800 is disposed opposite to the battery cover 600 .
