[0025] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0026] The term "and / or" in this article is merely a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that three relationships may exist. For example, A and / or B can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone.

[0027] The terms "first" and "second" in the description and claims of the embodiments of the present application are used to distinguish different objects rather than to describe a specific order of objects. For example, a first target object and a second target object are used to distinguish different target objects rather than to describe a specific order of target objects.

[0028] In the embodiments of the present application, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations or descriptions. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the embodiments of the present application should not be interpreted as being more preferred or more advantageous than other embodiments or designs. Specifically, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present related concepts in a specific way.

[0029] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise specified, the meaning of "multiple" refers to two or more than two. For example, multiple processing units refer to two or more processing units; multiple systems refer to two or more systems.

[0030] The embodiment of the present application provides an electronic device, which may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a car computer, a personal computer (PC), or other electronic devices. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific form of the above electronic device. For the convenience of description, the following description is based on the example of the electronic device being a mobile phone.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, currently in the mobile phone, the camera module 101 is connected to the mainboard 102 via the BTB connector 103. Of course, the BTB connector is not limited to connecting the camera module to the mainboard, but can also be used to connect the battery, screen, etc. to the mainboard.

[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, currently, after the connector 103 is buckled on the mainboard 102, in order to prevent the connector 103 from falling off, a clamping steel sheet 10 is also designed above the connector 103. The clamping steel sheet 10 is usually fixed by a hook 20 at one end and a screw 30 at the other end.

[0033] Currently, there are two main ways to fix the screw 30: one is to weld the surface-mount nut on the motherboard, and the other is to design a screw column on the middle frame. Figure 3 As shown, a surface mount nut 40 is welded on the main board 102, and the screw 30 and the surface mount nut 40 are used to achieve fastening. Figure 4 As shown, a screw column 50 is designed on the middle frame 104 , and fastening is achieved through the cooperation between the screw 30 and the screw column 50 .

[0034] However, as mentioned above, when screws are used to fix the compression steel sheet, it is necessary to weld surface nuts on the mainboard or design screw columns on the middle frame, which has high processing costs and a large number of materials, and also causes the weight of the entire machine to be heavier.

[0035] Based on the above description, the embodiment of the present application proposes a clamping assembly, which can be applied to the electronic device in the embodiment of the present application to press the connector onto the mainboard to prevent the connector from falling off, and does not require the use of screws for fixing, has low processing costs, a small amount of materials, and a lighter overall weight.

[0036] Figure 5 is a schematic structural diagram of a clamping assembly according to an embodiment of the present application; Figure 6 for Figure 5 A partial enlarged view of the dotted area.

[0037] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the clamping assembly 200 of the embodiment of the present application includes a clamping member 10, a first fixing member 21 and a second fixing member 22. The clamping member 10 includes a main body 11, a first fixing member 12 and a second fixing member 13. The first fixing member 12 and the second fixing member 13 are respectively located at two ends of the main body 11. The first fixing member 12 is used to connect and fix with the first fixing member 21, and the second fixing member 13 is used to connect and fix with the second fixing member 22. The connector 103 below the clamping member 10 is clamped by connecting and fixing the clamping member 10 with the first fixing member 21 and the second fixing member 22.

[0038] In an embodiment of the present application, the first fixing member 21 is fixed to the mainboard 102, for example, by welding, bonding, etc. For example, the first fixing member 21 includes a limiting structure, and when the first fixing portion 12 is connected to the first fixing member 21, the first fixing member 21 can limit the first fixing portion 12. For example, the first fixing member 21 is, for example, a hook structure, which includes a base and a hook located on the base. The base and the hook can be formed separately and then welded together, or they can be formed as one piece. The base is connected to the mainboard 102. The hook is located on the base. For example, the hook is a C-shaped structure, and the opening faces the side away from the main body 11. An opening is formed on the first fixing portion 12, so that the first fixing portion 12 can be hooked with the hook of the first fixing member 21, thereby limiting the first fixing portion 12.

[0039] In the embodiment of the present application, the second fixing member 22 is fixed to the main board 102, for example, by welding, bonding, etc. For example, the second fixing member 22 and the second fixing portion 13 are connected and fixed by snapping. For example, the second fixing member 22 is a female buckle, and the second fixing portion 13 is a male buckle, and the second fixing member 22 and the second fixing portion 13 are connected and fixed by snapping the male buckle on the female buckle.

[0040] Exemplarily, the clamping member 10 is made of a steel sheet, and the second fixing portion 13 forms a buckle as a male buckle. Exemplarily, the buckle of the second fixing portion 13 is a hook-shaped structure, which includes a first section, a second section, a third section and a fourth section connected in sequence. The first section is horizontal and connected to the main body 11, the second section is vertical and connected to the first section, and the second section and the first section form a downward bend. The third section is horizontal and connected to the second section, and the third section and the second section form a bend toward the main body 11. The fourth section is horizontal and connected to the third section, and the fourth section and the third section form a bend away from the main body 11. Exemplarily, the length of the fourth section is less than the length of the third section.

[0041] Exemplarily, the second fixing member 22 is made of a steel sheet, which is bent to form a female buckle, and the female buckle is groove-shaped.

[0042] Exemplarily, in order to ensure that the male and female buckles have a sufficiently large snap-fitting force, the second fixing member 22 is designed as a double-layer steel sheet structure; to ensure that the male and female buckles can provide a sufficiently large snap-fitting force, although the steel sheet is double-layered, the thickness of the steel sheet itself is not thick and there will be no situation where the male buckle is not easy to snap into and pull out.

[0043] Exemplarily, the female buckle has a concave structure.

[0044] The installation process of the clamping assembly 200 of the embodiment of the present application is to first fix the first fixing portion 12 on the hook of the first fixing member 21, and then press the second fixing portion 13 to engage with the second fixing member 22, so as to achieve the purpose of fixing the clamping assembly 200.

[0045] Figure 7 is a schematic structural diagram of a clamping assembly according to an embodiment of the present application; Figure 8 for Figure 7 A partial enlarged view of the dotted area.

[0046] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the clamping assembly 300 of the embodiment of the present application includes a clamping member 10, a first fixing member 21 and a second fixing member 22. The clamping member 10 includes a main body 11, a first fixing member 12 and a second fixing member 13. The first fixing member 12 and the second fixing member 13 are respectively located at two ends of the main body 11. The first fixing member 12 is used to connect and fix with the first fixing member 21, and the second fixing member 13 is used to connect and fix with the second fixing member 22. The connector 103 below the clamping member 10 is clamped by connecting and fixing the clamping member 10 with the first fixing member 21 and the second fixing member 22.

[0047] In the embodiment of the present application, the first fixing member 21 is fixed to the main board 102, for example, by welding, bonding, etc. For example, the first fixing member 21 includes a limiting structure, and when the first fixing portion 12 is connected to the first fixing member 21, the first fixing member 21 can limit the first fixing portion 12. For example, the first fixing member 21 is, for example, a hook structure, and the hook is, for example, a C-shaped structure, and the opening faces one side of the main body 11. A lug structure is formed on the first fixing portion 12, and the lug structure includes a base and extensions at both ends of the base. The first fixing portion 12 can be limited or positioned by abutting the lug against the first fixing member 21.

[0048] In the embodiment of the present application, the second fixing member 22 is fixed to the main board 102, for example, by welding, bonding, etc. For example, the second fixing member 22 and the second fixing portion 13 are connected and fixed by snapping. For example, the second fixing member 22 is a female buckle, and the second fixing portion 13 is a male buckle, and the second fixing member 22 and the second fixing portion 13 are connected and fixed by snapping the male buckle on the female buckle.

[0049] Exemplarily, the clamping member 10 is made of a steel sheet, and the second fixing portion 13 forms a buckle as a male buckle. Exemplarily, the buckle of the second fixing portion 13 is a hook-shaped structure, which includes a first section, a second section, a third section and a fourth section connected in sequence. The first section is horizontal and connected to the main body 11, the second section is vertical and connected to the first section, and the second section and the first section form a downward bend. The third section is horizontal and connected to the second section, and the third section and the second section form a bend toward the main body 11. The fourth section is horizontal and connected to the third section, and the fourth section and the third section form a bend away from the main body 11. Exemplarily, the length of the fourth section is less than the length of the third section.

[0050] Exemplarily, the second fixing member 22 is made of a steel sheet, which is bent to form a female buckle, and the female buckle is groove-shaped.

[0051] Exemplarily, in order to ensure that the male and female buckles have a sufficiently large snap-fitting force, the second fixing member 22 is designed as a double-layer steel sheet structure; to ensure that the male and female buckles can provide a sufficiently large snap-fitting force, although the steel sheet is double-layered, the thickness of the steel sheet itself is not thick and there will be no situation where the male buckle is not easy to snap into and pull out.

[0052] Exemplarily, the female buckle has a concave structure.

[0053] The installation process of the clamping assembly 300 of the embodiment of the present application is to first abut the lug of the first fixing portion 12 against the first fixing member 21 as a first positioning pair and assembly guide, and then press the second fixing portion 13 and the second fixing member 22 to engage, thereby achieving the purpose of fixing the clamping assembly 300.

[0054] As described above, the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, rather than to limit them. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein.
