The implementations described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementations consistent with the present disclosure. Instead, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the claims.
[0032] In recent years, as the technology in the field of electronic equipment has become more and more mature, various electronic devices have shown a trend of becoming lighter, and folding screen devices have also increasingly pursued lightweight and portable designs. In order to enable folding screen devices to achieve the above-mentioned technical effects, the solution adopted in related technologies is to shorten the width of the hinge area of the folding screen as much as possible, and the middle frame of the folding screen is arranged side by side with the circuit board.
[0033] However, such a solution involves problems such as the transmission of the hinge mechanism and the connecting rod mechanism, which is difficult to implement and ignores the free space above the hinge area of the middle frame. The free space above the hinge area is not conducive to the development of lightweight and portable electronic devices.
[0034] In order to solve the above technical problem, an electronic device is provided according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0036] In the present disclosure, the first direction and the second direction may be different. The first direction may be the thickness direction of the electronic device. For example, the electronic device may include a display screen, and the direction from the display surface of the display screen toward the back surface may be considered as the thickness direction of the electronic device.

For example, the second direction may be a direction parallel to the extension plane of the display screen.

As a result, the second part of the first sub-circuit board can occupy the empty space above the middle frame. The design of the second part increases the surface area of the circuit board, can reduce the layout length of the stacked circuit boards, and further can reduce the overall size of the electronic device or increase the volume of the battery module.

The support portion 30 can also disperse stress and reduce stress concentration at the position where the first portion 110 and the second portion 120 of the first sub-circuit board 10 are connected. The support portion 30 can also improve the anti-vibration performance. The first sub-circuit board 10 is often exposed to vibration and impact environments.

[0049] Specifically, the first side 401 of the adapter board 40 forms a certain space with the second surface 102 of the first part 110 of the first sub-circuit board 10 and the surface of the second sub-circuit board 20, which can be used to accommodate electronic components on the first sub-circuit board 10 or the second sub-circuit board 20. The adapter board 40 can increase the electronic component capacity of the circuit board 1.
[0050] In the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the support portion 30 may be connected to a portion of the second side 402 of the adapter plate 40. A portion of the second side 402 of the adapter plate 40 is connected to the support portion 30, which can ensure the stability of the support portion 30 without destroying the normal connection between the adapter plate 40 and the first sub-circuit board 10.
[0051] However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In some other exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, the support portion 30 may be connected to the entire second side 402 of the adapter plate 40 .
[0052] The present disclosure does not specifically limit the area of the connecting portion between the second side 402 of the adapter plate 40 and the support portion 30; the connecting portion may be a portion of the second side 402 of the adapter plate 40, that is, the support portion 30 is connected to a portion of the second side 402 of the adapter plate 40; the connecting portion may also be the entire second side 402 of the adapter plate 40, that is, the support portion 30 is completely connected to the second side 402 of the adapter plate 40.
[0053] It should be noted that the width of the adapter board 40 is less than or equal to the width of the first portion 110 of the first sub-circuit board 10 to ensure that the second portion 120 can extend outward and be in a suspended state.
[0054] However, the present disclosure is not limited to this. In some other exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, the adapter board 40 can be arranged between multiple second sub-circuit boards 20, the width of the adapter board 40 is less than or equal to the width of the second sub-circuit board 20, and the first side 401 of the adapter board 40 forms a receiving space for setting electronic components with two adjacent second sub-circuit boards 20, and the electronic components on the second sub-circuit board 20 can be set in the receiving space.

[0058] Specifically, the contact layer 130 has a low viscosity characteristic. The contact layer 130 is arranged on the second surface 102 of the second part 120 of the first sub-circuit board 10. At least a portion of the second surface 102 of the second part 120 is opposite to the middle frame 2, so the contact layer 130 can contact the middle frame 2. At the same time, the low viscosity characteristic of the contact layer 130 makes the contact layer 130 and the middle frame 2 detachably connected to form a detachable connection between the circuit board 1 and the middle frame 2, which can prevent the circuit board 1 from being damaged or even failing due to the connection relationship with the middle frame 2 during the disassembly process of the circuit board 1, so that the circuit board 1 has reworkability.
[0059] It should be noted that the present disclosure does not specifically limit the role of the contact layer 130, and the role of the contact layer 130 can be one or more of interference connection, buffering, and sealing.

[0062] The circuit board 1 is arranged on the third part 210, and the second part 120 of the first sub-circuit board 10 extends toward the fourth part of the middle frame 2 and is in a suspended state. At least a portion of the second surface 102 of the second part 120 of the first sub-circuit board 10 is opposite to the fourth part 220 of the middle frame 2, that is, at least a portion of the second part 120 of the first sub-circuit board 10 is arranged opposite to the fourth part 220 of the middle frame 2.

[0066] Specifically, at least a portion of the second surface 102 of the second part 120 of the first sub-circuit board 10 is opposite to the third surface 221 of the fourth part 220 of the middle frame 2, and the contact layer 130 is arranged on the second surface 102 of the second part 120 of the first sub-circuit board 10, and the third surface 221 of the fourth part 220 of the middle frame 2 is in contact with the contact layer 130.
[0067] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the circuit board 1 may include a shielding cover, such as Figure 1 As shown, the shielding cover can be a first shielding cover 510. The first shielding cover 510 is disposed on the first surface 101 of the first sub-circuit board 10, and the first shielding cover 510 can shield external signals that interfere with the electronic components on the first surface 101 of the first sub-circuit board 10 in the first shielding cover 510, thereby protecting the normal operation of the electronic components.
[0068] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the first shielding cover 510 covers a portion of the second portion 120 , and the first shielding cover 510 is non-detachably connected to the first sub-circuit board 10 , and the first shielding cover 510 can support the second portion 120 of the first sub-circuit board 10 .
[0069] However, the present disclosure is not limited to this. In some other exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, the first shielding cover 510 covers the entire second part 120. In this case, the connection between the first shielding cover 510 and the first sub-circuit board 10 is located at the end of the second part 120. The fixed connection between the first shielding cover 510 and the first sub-circuit board 10 can support the second part 120.
[0070] It should be noted that the present disclosure does not specifically limit the area of the first portion 110 of the first sub-circuit board covered by the first shielding cover 510 .
[0071] In the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the first shielding cover 510 does not cover the first part 110 of the first sub-circuit board 10. At this time, the first shielding cover 510 only covers at least a portion of the second part 120. The first shielding cover 510 only protects the electronic components of the second part 120 within its coverage area from interference from external interference signals, thereby protecting the normal operation of the electronic components.
[0072] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the first shielding cover 510 covers a portion of the first part 110 of the first sub-circuit board 10. At this time, the first shielding cover 510 can protect the electronic components of the first part 110 within its coverage area from interference from external interference signals, thereby protecting the normal operation of the electronic components.
[0073] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the first shielding cover 510 completely covers the first part 110 of the first sub-circuit board 10. At this time, the first shielding cover 510 can protect the electronic components of the first part 110 within its coverage from interference from external interference signals, thereby protecting the normal operation of the electronic components, that is, protecting all electronic components on the first surface 101 of the first part 110 of the first sub-circuit board 10.
[0074] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the circuit board of the present disclosure may further include a second shielding cover 520, which is disposed on the second sub-circuit board 20. The second shielding cover 520 may shield external signals that interfere with electronic components on the second sub-circuit board 20 in the second shielding cover 520, thereby protecting the normal operation of the electronic components.
[0075] It should be noted that the present disclosure does not specifically limit the shielding area of the second shielding cover 520 . The second shielding cover 520 may cover a portion of the second sub-circuit board 20 , or the second shielding cover 520 may cover the entire second sub-circuit board 20 .
[0076] The present disclosure does not impose any specific restrictions on the shape of the shielding cover (including the first shielding cover 510 and the second shielding cover 520), which can be one or more of a triangle, a circle, a rectangle, and an irregular polygon. The present disclosure does not impose any specific restrictions on the material of the shielding cover, and the material of the shielding cover is not limited to metal materials, metal alloys, and composite materials. The present disclosure does not impose any specific restrictions on the number of shielding covers, which can be matched and set according to factors such as the area of the first sub-circuit board 10 and the second sub-circuit board 20, the number of electronic components, and the working relationship between the electronic components.
[0077] It is understandable that the shapes, materials, and quantities of the first shielding cover 510 and the second shielding cover 520 may be the same or different.
[0078] In the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the middle frame 2 includes an adhesive layer 230 . The adhesive layer 230 is disposed on the third surface 221 , and the adhesive layer 230 contacts the contact layer 130 .
[0079] Specifically, the adhesive layer 230 can be a curing glue. In its original state, the adhesive layer 230 is in liquid state. The adhesive layer 230 contacts the contact layer 130. The adhesive layer 230 can flow to a suitable position according to the height of the suspended position of the second part 120 of the first sub-circuit board 10. After curing, the adhesive layer 230 supports the second part 120 of the first sub-circuit board 10.
[0080] At the same time, since the contact layer 130 has the characteristic of low viscosity, the contact between the adhesive layer 230 and the contact layer 130 can be separated, and the second part 120 of the first sub-circuit board 10 and the fourth part 220 of the middle frame 2 are detachably connected to form a detachable connection between the circuit board 1 and the middle frame 2, which can prevent the circuit board 1 from being damaged or even failing due to the connection relationship with the middle frame 2 during the disassembly process of the circuit board 1, so that the circuit board 1 has reworkability.
[0081] It should be noted that the present disclosure does not specifically limit the area of the adhesive layer 230. The adhesive layer 230 can be arranged at a partial position of the third surface 221 of the fourth part 220, or the adhesive layer 230 can be arranged on the entire third surface 221 of the fourth part; the present disclosure does not specifically limit the material of the adhesive layer 230. The material of the adhesive layer 230 can be one or more of thermosetting adhesive (Thermosetting adhesive), light curing adhesive (UV-curable adhesive), two-component adhesive (Two-component adhesive), and hot-melt adhesive (Hot-melt adhesive).
[0082] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the third portion 210 may be provided with a receiving groove 211 , and at least a portion of the circuit board 1 is disposed in the receiving groove 211 .
[0083] Specifically, the second shielding cover 520 is arranged on the outermost second sub-circuit board 20, and the outermost second sub-circuit board 20 is arranged opposite to the bottom of the accommodating groove 211. The length of the outermost second sub-circuit board 20 in the second direction is smaller than the length of the accommodating groove 211 in the second direction. At this time, the second shielding cover 520 and the second sub-circuit board 20 and at least a part of the electronic components on the second sub-circuit board 20 are arranged in the accommodating groove 211.
[0084] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the adapter plate 40 may be disposed in the receiving groove 211. The length of the adapter plate 40 in the second direction is less than or equal to the width of the outermost second sub-circuit board 20, and the length of the outermost second sub-circuit board 20 in the second direction is less than the length of the receiving groove 211 in the second direction.

[0088] Specifically, the support portion 30 is arranged at the position where the first portion 110 of the first sub-circuit board 10 is connected to the suspended second portion 120. The support portion 30 can strengthen the connection between the first portion 110 and the second portion 120, thereby improving the structural strength of the first sub-circuit board 10; the support portion 30 can also disperse stress and reduce stress concentration at the position where the first portion 110 and the second portion 120 of the first sub-circuit board 10 are connected; the support portion 30 can also improve the vibration resistance. The first sub-circuit board 10 is often faced with a vibration and impact environment, and the support portion 30 can be placed in a vibration environment of the first sub-circuit board 10 to prevent it from loosening or breaking.
[0089] It should be noted that the present disclosure does not specifically limit the function of the support portion 30 , and the specific function of the support portion 30 may be one or more of the above-mentioned functions.

It is understandable that different side walls 212 may also extend to different lengths in the first direction.
[0093] The side wall 212 may include an escape portion 213 , which is disposed at a connection between the side wall 212 of the receiving groove 211 and the fourth portion 220 of the middle frame 2 . At this time, the escape portion 213 is disposed opposite to the support portion 30 .
[0094] In the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the avoidance portions 213 correspond to the support portions 30 one by one.
[0095] Specifically, since the present disclosure does not specifically limit the number of the support portions 30, it can be matched and set to one or more according to factors such as the length and width of the second portion 120 of the first sub-circuit board 10, so the number of the avoidance portions 213 corresponds to the number of the support portions 30. Since the present disclosure does not specifically limit the shape of the support portion 30, it can be one or more of a triangle, a circle, a rectangle, and an irregular polygon. The shape of the avoidance portion 213 is adapted to the shape of the corresponding support portion 30, so as to reserve enough space to meet the installation requirements when the circuit board 1 and the middle frame 2 are installed.
[0096] The avoidance portion 213 is designed to meet the installation, maintenance, movement and safety requirements of the circuit board 1 and the middle frame 2 , and ensure good coordination and interaction between the circuit board 1 and the middle frame 2 .

[0103] The circuit board 1 may include a support portion 30 and an adapter board 40. The support portion 30 is arranged at a position where the first portion 110 and the second portion 120 of the first sub-circuit board 10 are connected, and the support portion 30 is located on the second surface 102 of the first sub-circuit board 10; the adapter board 40 may be arranged between the first sub-circuit board 10 and the second sub-circuit board 20, and the support portion 30 is connected to at least a portion of the second side 402 of the adapter board 40.
