[0068] It should be understood that although the terms first, second, third, etc. may be used in the present disclosure to describe various information, such information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish the same type of information from each other. For example, without departing from the scope of the present disclosure, the first information may also be referred to as the second information, and similarly, the second information may also be referred to as the first information. Depending on the context, the word "if" as used herein may be interpreted as "at the time of" or "when" or "in response to determining".

[0069] Electronic devices are equipped with connectors as charging interfaces or data transmission interfaces. Usually, the tongue plate of the connector is completely set in the connector housing, and the connector housing is set in the middle frame and connected to the middle frame. Therefore, in the thickness direction, at least the upper frame wall of the middle frame, the upper shell part of the connector, the tongue plate of the connector, the lower shell part of the connector and the lower frame wall of the middle frame are stacked. Obviously, the setting of the connector housing will affect the overall thickness of the electronic device to a certain extent, and affect the development of thinness and lightness of the electronic device.

[0070] Based on this, the present disclosure provides an electronic device, Figure 1 is a partial schematic diagram of an electronic device according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a partial cross-sectional schematic diagram of an electronic device according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the electronic device includes a frame 1 and a connector 2. The frame 1 includes a body 11 and a connecting portion 12 connected to the body 11. The body 11 is provided with a mounting hole 111. A surrounding space communicating with the outside of the frame 1 can be formed through the mounting hole 111. Figure 2The left side of the mounting hole 111 shown in the figure is the surrounding space connected to the outside of the frame 1. The connector 2 includes a tongue plate 21 and a fixing member 22. The connector 2 can be connected and fixed to the connecting portion 12 through the fixing member 22. The front end of the tongue plate 21 can form a part of the appearance surface of the connector 2. The front end of the tongue plate 21 is inserted into the mounting hole 111. The front end of the tongue plate 21 is exposed outside the fixing member 22 and is placed in the surrounding space. Figure 2 The front end of the tongue plate 21 shown in Figure 2 The left end portion of the tongue plate 21 in the mounting hole 111 is exposed in the surrounding space. Based on this, the inner wall of the mounting hole 111 is arranged toward the tongue plate 21, and there is no other part such as a housing between the inner wall of the mounting hole 111 and the tongue plate 21, which is conducive to reducing the thickness of the electronic device and conforms to the trend of thinning and lightening of electronic devices. Taking a mobile phone terminal as an example, the frame 1 can be the middle frame of the mobile phone terminal.

[0071] Optional, such as Figure 3-Figure 7 As shown, the fixing member 22 includes a bearing plate 221, and the rear end of the tongue plate 21, i.e. Figure 2 The right end portion of the middle tongue plate 21 is stacked on the carrier plate 221, and the side of the rear end of the tongue plate 21 facing away from the carrier plate 221 is exposed relative to the fixing member 22. In other words, the carrier plate 221 only covers one side of the rear end of the tongue plate 21, and the other side opposite to the rear end of the tongue plate 21 is exposed. In this way, the structure of the connector 2 can be simplified, and the thickness of the rear end of the connector 2 can be reduced, which is beneficial to the internal optimization layout of the electronic device. Regarding the connection between the fixing member 22 and the connecting portion 12, optionally, the carrier plate 221 can be connected to the connecting portion 12, specifically, it can be welded or threaded. Alternatively, the fixing member 22 can also include a mounting portion 225 located on the outside of the carrier plate 221. The mounting portion 225 can be directly connected to the carrier plate 221 or can be indirectly connected through other parts of the fixing member 22. The mounting portion 225 is connected and fixed to the connecting portion 12.

[0072] The tongue plate 21 may include a plurality of connecting pins 211, each connecting pin 211 includes a contact portion 2111 and a welding portion 2112, each contact portion 2111 is located at the front end of the tongue plate 21, and is at least partially exposed outside the fixing member 22, and is arranged in the surrounding space of the mounting hole 111, each welding portion 2112 is located at the rear end of the tongue plate 21, and the welding portion 2112 is located on the side of the tongue plate 21 away from the carrier plate 221, and the welding portion 2112 is exposed, so as to facilitate the subsequent electrical connection of the connector 2.

[0073] In some embodiments, the electronic device further includes a flexible circuit board 3, which is stacked on the side of the tongue plate 21 away from the carrier plate 221, and the flexible circuit board 3 is electrically connected to the welding portion 2112 of each connecting pin 211, so that the electrical signal transmission between the connector 2 and other electrical components in the electronic device can be realized with the help of the flexible circuit board 3. Of course, in order to improve the strength of the connection part between the flexible circuit board 3 and the tongue plate 21, the connector 2 also includes a reinforcing plate 4, which is connected to the side of the flexible circuit board 3 away from the tongue plate 21 to improve the strength of the flexible circuit board 3, and to prevent the flexible circuit board 3 from wrinkling and cross-wires during the welding process between the flexible circuit board 3 and the tongue plate 21.

[0074] Optionally, the tongue plate 21 includes at least one second positioning block 212, which can pass through the flexible circuit board 3 and be connected to the flexible circuit board 3. In this way, in the process of connecting the welding portion 2112 and the flexible circuit board 3, the position of the flexible circuit board 3 can be positioned by the second positioning block 212, thereby improving the alignment accuracy of the welding portion 2112 and the flexible circuit board 3. The flexible circuit board 3 and the second positioning block 212 are physically connected, such as fixed by welding. In order to reduce the influence of the second positioning block 212 on the electrical signal of the flexible circuit board 3, the second positioning block 212 is made of plastic.

[0075] Alternatively, the fixing member 22 includes at least one third positioning block 222 extending from the bearing plate 221, and the third positioning block 222 can pass through the flexible circuit board 3 and be connected to the flexible circuit board 3. In this way, since the position of the fixing member 22 and the tongue plate 21 is fixed, the position of the flexible circuit board 3 is positioned by the third positioning block 222, and the alignment accuracy of the welding portion 2112 and the flexible circuit board 3 can also be improved. The flexible circuit board 3 and the third positioning block 222 are physically connected, such as fixed by welding. In order to reduce the influence of the third positioning block 222 on the electrical signal of the flexible circuit board 3, the third positioning block 222 is made of plastic. Alternatively, in the same connector 2, the tongue plate 21 includes the first positioning block 212 and the fixing member 22 includes the third positioning block 222, and the flexible circuit board 3 is jointly positioned and connected by the second positioning block 212 and the third positioning block 222, so that the alignment accuracy of the welding portion 2112 and the flexible circuit board 3 and the stability of the flexible circuit board 3 can be improved.

[0076] Similarly, if Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the tongue plate 21 further includes at least one first positioning block 212, and the fixing member 22 includes at least one first positioning opening 223. The tongue plate 21 and the fixing member 22 can be positioned with one-to-one correspondence between the first positioning opening 223 and the first positioning block 212. In particular, when there are multiple sets of mutually matching first positioning openings 223 and first positioning blocks 212, the relative rotation between the tongue plate 21 and the fixing member 22 can be limited.

[0077] In some embodiments, the fixing member 22 further includes an extension portion 224 extending from the bearing plate 221, and the extension portion 224 and the bearing plate 221 enclose an open accommodating cavity, the rear end of the tongue plate 21 is disposed in the open accommodating cavity, and the front end of the tongue plate 21 passes through the opening of the open accommodating cavity, so that the front end of the tongue plate 21 is exposed outside the fixing member 22. In this way, the rear end of the tongue plate 21 can be surrounded as much as possible by the extension portion 224, and when the fixing member 22 is a full metal member, or the fixing member 22 is a structural member with metal embedded therein, a shielding cover can be approximately formed to achieve a shielding effect.

[0078] In some embodiments, the connector 2 further includes a protective shell 23 for the tongue plate 21 to pass through, and the protective shell 23 is arranged at the front end of the fixing member 22, that is, Figure 4-Figure 6 As shown in , the protective shell 23 is arranged on the left side of the fixing member 22, and the protective shell 23 is also connected to the fixing member 22. The front end of the tongue plate 21 is located outside the protective shell 23 to form a part of the outer surface of the connector 2, so that the front end of the tongue plate 21 can be exposed in the annular space. It can be understood that since the rear end of the tongue plate 21 is exposed on the side away from the carrier plate 221, when the tongue plate 21 passes through the mounting hole 111, it is very likely to cause scratches and wear on the tongue plate 21, affecting the electrical effect. Therefore, the protective shell 23 is designed in the present disclosure. By appropriately designing the position and size of the protective shell 23, the protective shell 23 passes through the mounting hole 111 and is partially located outside the mounting hole 111, so that the inner wall of the mounting hole 111 is designed around the protective shell 23, which is beneficial to protecting the connector 2.

[0079] like Figure 8 As shown, a limiting groove 2241 is provided at the front end of the extension portion 224, and part of the protective shell 23 is provided in the limiting groove 2241 and connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove 2241, for example, by welding or bonding or a locking member. By accommodating the protective shell 23 in the limiting groove 2241, the assembly of the protective shell 23 can be limited.

[0080] Furthermore, the protective shell 23 includes a surrounding body 231 and an extension wall 232 extending from the surrounding body 231 toward the fixing member 22, and the extension wall 232 is connected to the extension portion 224. Specifically, the extension wall 232 can be stacked above the extension portion 224 and connected to the extension portion 224, for example, by welding or bonding or a locking member. In this way, the connection between the inner wall of the limiting groove 2241 and the protective shell 23 can improve the connection stability between the protective shell 23 and the fixing member 22.

[0081] Optionally, the protective shell 23 may be a convex portion, which may be arranged on the surrounding body 231, for example, it may be a protrusion extending from the surrounding body 231, and the convex portion contacts the hole wall of the mounting hole 111, thereby reducing the installation gap between the protective shell 23 and the mounting hole 111, which is beneficial to improving the waterproof performance of the connector 2.

[0082] In the above embodiments, the connector also includes a stop member, which is located on the side of the fixing member 22 away from the mounting hole 111. The stop member can press the fixing member 22 toward the body 11, thereby reducing the risk of displacement between the connector 2 and the frame 1 through the action of the stop member.

[0083] In some embodiments, the connector 2 also includes a sealing ring 24 disposed on the protective shell 23, the protective shell 23 is for the tongue plate 21 to pass through and the protective shell 23 is connected to the fixing member 22, the protective shell 23 is located at the front end of the fixing member 22, the sealing ring 24 abuts between the protective shell 23 and the main body 11, and water vapor sealing is achieved by the sealing ring 24.

[0084] Optional, such as Figure 9-10 As shown, the sealing ring 24 and a part of the protective shell 23 are stacked in the plug-in direction of the connector 2, and at least a part of the sealing ring 24 is higher than the surface of the protective shell 23. In other words, the sealing ring 24 can be set on any surface of the protective shell 23 facing the front end of the tongue plate 21. For example, the surrounding body 231 of the protective shell 23 may include a first surrounding step portion 2311 and a second surrounding step portion 2312 arranged in a stepped shape, the second surrounding step portion 2312 is higher than the first surrounding step portion 2311, and the sealing ring 24 is set on the surface of the second surrounding step portion 2312 facing the first surrounding step portion 2311, so that the sealing ring 24 can be deformed in the plug-in direction of the connector 2 later, thereby achieving sealing. In this way, the sealing ring 24 does not need to be stacked with the protective shell 23 in a direction perpendicular to the tongue plate 21, which is conducive to further reducing the thickness of the connector 2.

[0085] The sealing ring 24 may include a first annular body 241 and a second annular body 242. The first annular body 241 is connected to the protective shell 23, and may be connected to the surface of the second surrounding step portion 2312 facing the first surrounding step portion 2311. The second annular body 242 is connected to the first annular body 241, and the second annular body 242 is connected to the side of the first annular body 241 away from the protective shell 23. The second annular body 242 is inclined relative to the center line of the sealing ring 24. Fig. 9 As shown, the center line of the sealing ring 24 is arranged along the direction indicated by arrow A, and the second annular body 242 is inclined outwardly relative to the center line of the sealing ring 24. Of course, in other embodiments, the second annular body 242 can also be arranged to be inclined inwardly relative to the center line of the sealing ring 24.

[0086] When the connector 2 is assembled with the frame 1, the second annular body 242 will be squeezed and deformed by the body 11. Since the end of the second annular body 242 facing away from the first annular body 241 is not directly facing the rib position at the connection with the first annular body 241, and part of the second annular body 242 is in a "suspended" state, the squeezing force required for the same degree of deformation is relatively small compared to the rib position at the connection directly facing the first annular body 241, which is conducive to the assembly of the connector 2. When the second annular body 242 is tilted outward relative to the center line of the sealing ring 24, compared to the solution of tilting inward, there is no need to consider the interference relationship between the deformation of the second annular body 242 and the tongue plate 21 of the connector 2.

[0087] Alternatively, the sealing ring 24 and a portion of the protective shell 23 are stacked in a direction perpendicular to the tongue plate 21, and at least a portion of the sealing ring 24 is higher than the surface of the protective shell 23. In other words, the sealing ring 24 can be disposed on any one or more surfaces of the protective shell 23 that are parallel to the tongue plate 21. For example, still taking the protective shell 23 including a surrounding body 231, the surrounding body 231 including a first surrounding step portion 2311 and a second surrounding step portion 2312 as an example, the sealing ring 24 can be stacked on the surface of the first surrounding step portion 2311 away from the tongue plate 21.

[0088] Alternatively, the sealing ring 24 may cover the step setting between the first surrounding step portion 2311 and the second surrounding step portion 2312, that is, a portion of the sealing ring 24 may be set on the first surrounding step portion 2311, and another portion may be set on the second surrounding step portion 2312, thereby covering the step between the first surrounding step portion 2311 and the second surrounding step portion 2312. Of course, this is only an exemplary description, and the protective shell 23 may include two surfaces with a step setting, and the sealing ring 24 can cover the step between the two surfaces, so that the height difference design of the sealing ring 24 in the direction perpendicular to the tongue plate 21 can achieve a double-layer sealing effect through a single sealing ring 24.

[0089] In the above embodiment, the protective shell 23 may be provided with a first groove, which may be an annular groove arranged around a portion of the tongue plate 21, and the sealing ring 24 is arranged in the first groove, so that the sealing ring 24 can be positioned and limited by the first groove. Regardless of the manner in which the sealing ring 24 and the protective shell 23 are stacked, the first groove may be formed at the corresponding position of the protective shell 23 to achieve the positioning and limiting of the sealing ring 24, and there are corresponding setting methods for the opening direction of the first groove under different stacking methods of the sealing ring 24 and the protective shell 23.

[0090] In some embodiments, a bracket 5 connected to the fixing member 22 is further included. The bracket 5 is fixed relative to the frame 1, and at least a portion of the bracket 5 can be arranged at the rear end of the fixing member 22, so that the bracket 5 can be used to support the fixing member 22 at the rear end, thereby reducing the risk of displacement of the fixing member 22 relative to the frame 1 due to installation errors; especially when the sealing ring 24 and the protective shell 23 are stacked along the plug-in direction, the sealing ring 24 is deformed along the plug-in direction, which will cause the fixing member 22 to be subjected to a certain force toward the rear end. Therefore, through the support of the bracket 5, the risk of displacement of the fixing member 22 can be reduced, ensuring that the sealing ring 24 is deformed between the protective shell 23 and the main body 11, thereby ensuring the sealing effect.

[0091] Among them, the bracket 5 may include an assembly part 51, which is connected and fixed to the fixing member 22 and the connecting part 12, so as to realize the relative fixation of the fixing member 22 and the bracket 5, and the connection and fixation between the bracket 5 and the frame 1.
