[0002] With the development of communication technology, electronic devices such as mobile phones and tablet computers have become indispensable tools for people. When facing a wide range of electronic devices, users need to consider not only whether the functions of the electronic devices meet their needs, but also the appearance of the electronic devices is one of the important factors that influence whether consumers choose to buy them.
[0003] In order to make the appearance of electronic devices more expressive, in the related art, a light effect module is provided on the electronic devices. Specifically, the light effect module includes a light source and a light guide, and the light emitted by the light source enters the light guide and then is emitted from the outer peripheral surface of the light guide, thereby forming a light effect on the outer periphery of the camera decorative member.
[0004] In the related art, in order to make the electronic device have better light effect, the radial dimension of the camera decoration is usually designed to be larger. However, if the radial dimension of the camera decoration is too large, it will inevitably occupy the installation space of part of the antenna on the electronic device, thereby causing the space of part of the antenna to be squeezed, and it is easy to affect the antenna performance of the electronic device. Taking the NFC (Near Field Communication) module of the electronic device as an example, if the radial dimension of the camera decoration is too large, the recognition area of the NFC module will be reduced, resulting in the poor recognition sensitivity of the NFC module, so the NFC performance of the electronic device is poor. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0011] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly 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.
[0012] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the terms used in this way can be interchangeable under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described here. In addition, "and / or" in the specification and claims represents at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally represents that the objects associated with each other are in an "or" relationship.
[0013] The camera decoration assembly and the electronic device provided in the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below through specific embodiments and their application scenarios in combination with the accompanying drawings.
[0014] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The embodiment of the present application discloses a camera decoration assembly 100, which is applied to an electronic device. The camera decoration assembly 100 is used to cover the camera module of the electronic device, thereby improving the appearance of the electronic device. The disclosed camera decoration assembly 100 includes a decoration part 110 and a light effect module 120.
[0015] The decorative piece 110 is the main part of the camera decorative assembly 100, and also provides a mounting base for other components of the camera decorative assembly 100. The decorative piece 110 is used to connect with the housing 200 of the electronic device. Specifically, the housing 200 of the electronic device is provided with a mounting hole, and the decorative piece 110 is installed in the mounting hole. The decorative piece 110 is provided with a light-transmitting area opposite to the mounting hole. The external ambient light passes through the light-transmitting area and the mounting hole in turn and then enters the camera module located in the housing 200, thereby realizing the shooting function of the electronic device.
[0016] The light effect module 120 is used to form a light effect on the outer peripheral edge of the decorative member 110. The light effect module 120 includes a strip light guide 121, a light source 122 and an electrical connector 123. The strip light guide 121 is a light transmission component, and the strip light guide 121 can be made of glass, resin and other materials. The strip light guide 121, the light source 122 and the electrical connector 123 are all arranged on the decorative member 110, and both ends of the strip light guide 121 are arranged opposite to the light source 122. In one embodiment, the strip light guide 121 can be extended along the edge of the decorative member 110, which can be understood here as the strip light guide 121 is arranged along the side of the decorative member 110.
[0017] In the specific process, the light emitted by the light source 122 enters the strip light guide 121 from the end faces at both ends of the strip light guide 121, and then the light propagates in the strip light guide 121, which means that the light propagates along the extension direction of the strip light guide 121, so that the entire strip light guide 121 can be illuminated. At the same time, the light also needs to be emitted from the strip light guide 121, so as to illuminate the periphery of the decorative member 110 to form a light effect. The light here is emitted from the outer peripheral surface of the strip light guide 121. At this time, it can be understood that the light is incident from the end face of the strip light guide 121 and then emitted through the outer peripheral surface of the strip light guide 121.
[0018] In the embodiment disclosed in the present application, the outer peripheral surface of the strip light guide 121 has a light emitting area 1211 and an antenna wiring area 1212 arranged along the circumferential direction thereof, and the light emitted by the above-mentioned light source 122 enters the strip light guide 121 through the two ends of the strip light guide 121, and is emitted from the light emitting area 1211. In other words, the outer peripheral surface of the strip light guide 121 in the present application is divided into two areas arranged circumferentially, one of which is capable of emitting light, which is used to form the light effect of the camera decoration component 100. The other area is the antenna wiring area 1212, which is used to realize the antenna function of the camera decoration component 100. Specifically, the antenna wiring area 1212 is provided with a conductive layer 150, which is the radiator line structure of the antenna, and the conductive layer 150 is used to realize the receiving and transmitting functions of the antenna. The radiator circuit structure of the antenna is a conductive metal circuit structure, so the conductive layer 150 is a metal layer. Therefore, in the present application, a metal layer is provided on a part of the outer peripheral surface of the strip light guide 121 to form the conductive layer 150, so that the strip light guide 121 is integrated with the antenna function.
[0019] The luminous light source 122 and the conductive layer 150 are both used to be electrically connected to the circuit board of the electronic device through the electrical connector 123. The electrical connector 123 here can be at least one of a board-to-board connector, a flexible circuit board, an electrical connection spring, and a gold finger. At this time, the luminous light source 122 and the conductive layer 150 are electrically connected to the electronic device through the electrical connector 123, thereby realizing the control of the luminous light source 122 and the signal transmission of the conductive layer 150. The specific control principle of the luminous light source 122 and the signal transmission principle of the conductive layer 150 are both well-known technologies and are not described in detail herein.
[0020] In the embodiment disclosed in the present application, the conductive layer 150 is disposed on a portion of the outer circumference of the strip light guide 121, so that the antenna function is integrated on the strip light guide 121. At this time, the light effect module 120 can not only form a light effect on the edge of the decorative member 110, but also realize the antenna function. Therefore, the camera decoration assembly 100 disclosed in the present application can not only make the radial dimension of the decorative member 110 larger so that the electronic device has a better light effect, but also increase the area of the antenna to improve the antenna performance of the electronic device. Therefore, the camera decoration assembly 100 disclosed in the present application is conducive to improving the antenna performance of the electronic device.
[0021] In addition, the camera decoration 110 can realize the antenna function, so part of the antenna function of the electronic device can be transferred to the camera decoration 110, thereby saving the installation space of the antenna on the electronic device, which is more conducive to optimizing the layout of the electronic device and further reducing the layout difficulty of the electronic device. At the same time, it can further realize the development of electronic devices to be lighter and thinner.
[0022] In addition, the area of the strip light guide 121 facing the outside of the electronic device is usually mainly used to achieve light effects, so the area of the strip light guide 121 facing the inside of the electronic device has no effect on the light effect of the electronic device, and also causes interference to the camera module. In the technical solution disclosed in the present application, the conductive layer 150 is arranged on the area that does not affect the light effect, so the conductive layer 150 can also block this part of the light effect, thereby reducing the interference to the camera module, so the camera decoration assembly 100 disclosed in the present application can also effectively improve the shooting performance of the electronic device.
[0023] For example, in one solution, the conductive layer 150 can be an NFC routing layer. In this case, the conductive layer 150 can realize the NFC function, so the overall decorative element 110 can be used as an NFC recognition area, thereby improving the NFC recognition sensitivity, thereby further improving the NFC performance of the electronic device.
[0024] In addition, the camera decoration 110 and the NFC module in the related art are arranged side by side in the electronic device, so the camera decoration 110 and the NFC module occupy a large installation space, which makes the layout of the electronic device more difficult. However, the camera decoration assembly 100 disclosed in the present application integrates the light effect and NFC together, so the space occupied by the NFC module can be saved in the electronic device, which is more conducive to optimizing the layout of the electronic device and further reducing the layout difficulty of the electronic device.
[0025] The conductive layer 150 in the present application is not limited to the NFC routing layer, and can also be configured as a routing layer such as antenna No. 101, PIFA antenna, LDS antenna, etc. The conductive layer 150 disclosed in the present application can be configured as antennas with different functions according to specific usage requirements. The specific function of the conductive layer 150 can be designed according to usage requirements, and this article does not limit it.
[0026] In the embodiment disclosed in the present application, the process of specifically setting the conductive layer 150 on the strip light guide 121 can be, first, wrapping one or more metal circuit layers on the outer peripheral surface of the strip light guide 121, and then etching away the metal circuit layer corresponding to the light emitting area 1211, leaving only the metal circuit layer of the antenna wiring area 1212, and the metal circuit layer that has not been etched forms the conductive layer 150. The strip light guide 121 can be wrapped with a metal circuit layer by processes such as electroplating and sputtering, and etching of the excess metal circuit layer can be achieved by a mask etching process, and of course other etching processes can also be used. Of course, the conductive layer 150 can also be set on the strip light guide 121 by other processes, which are not limited herein.
[0027] In the above scheme, a light-transmitting gap can be formed between the decorative member 110 and the outer surface of the housing 200 of the electronic device, and the above-mentioned light effect module 120 can be arranged on the surface of the decorative member 110 on the side facing the housing 200. At this time, the light emitting area 1211 of the strip light guide 121 faces the light-transmitting gap, and the antenna wiring area 1212 is located on the side of the strip light guide 121 away from the light-transmitting gap. Alternatively, in another scheme, a transparent area can be provided at the edge of the decorative member 110, and at this time, the light emitting area 1211 of the strip light guide 121 faces the transparent area, and the light emitted by the light emitting area 1211 is emitted to the transparent area of the decorative member 110, thereby forming a light effect at the edge of the decorative member 110. The transparent area here can be set on the side of the decorative member 110, and of course it can also be set on the end face of the decorative member 110, which is not limited in this article.
[0028] In another optional embodiment, the decorative member 110 may include an outer bracket 111 and a cover plate 112. The outer bracket 111 may be installed on the outer surface of the electronic device. The outer bracket 111 may have a first surface 111a and a second surface 111b disposed opposite to each other. The first surface 111a faces the outer surface of the housing 200 of the electronic device. The cover plate 112 is stacked on the side where the second surface 111b of the outer bracket 111 is located, and forms a receiving cavity with the outer bracket 111. The cover plate 112 is used to cover the second surface 111b of the outer bracket 111. The strip light guide 121 and the luminous light source 122 are both located in the receiving cavity. Here, the outer bracket 111 and the cover plate 112 form a receiving cavity, so that the strip light guide 121 and the luminous light source 122 can be accommodated.
[0029] In this solution, the outer bracket 111 and the cover plate 112 are both located on the outer surface of the housing 200, so it is easy to form a light effect and avoid the housing 200 blocking the light effect. In addition, the strip light guide 121 is arranged on the outer bracket 111, so that the conductive layer 150 is also away from the components inside the housing 200, which is conducive to avoiding the influence of the components inside the housing 200 on the conductive layer 150, thereby further improving the antenna performance.
[0030] Optionally, the light exit area 1211 of the strip light guide 121 may face the cover plate 112, and the side of the strip light guide 121 away from the cover plate 112 may be the antenna wiring area 1212. In this case, a light-transmitting gap may be provided between the outer bracket 111 and the cover plate 112. Alternatively, the cover plate 112 itself may be a transparent structure.
[0031] In the embodiments disclosed in this application, Figure 5As shown, the decorative element 110 may include an inner bracket 113, which is located in the housing 200 and connected to the housing 200. The inner bracket 113 is used to fix the outer bracket 111, thereby improving the connection strength between the decorative element 110 and the housing 200. The inner bracket 113, the outer bracket 111 and the cover plate 112 may be provided with corresponding light-transmitting holes or holes, which form the light-transmitting areas mentioned above, and external light enters the camera module through the light-transmitting holes or holes. For example, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the outer bracket 111 is provided with a light hole 1112, where the light hole 1112 can be opposite to the lens of the camera module and is used to pass light through the lens. Of course, the cover plate 112 and the inner bracket 113 can also be provided with corresponding light holes 1112.
[0032] In another optional solution, the camera decorative assembly 100 may also include a ferrite 130, which may be attached to the decorative member 110. In order to prevent the ferrite 130 from being exposed, the ferrite 130 may be attached to the inner side of the decorative member 110, that is, the side facing away from the user. The ferrite 130 is arranged opposite to the strip light guide 121. In this solution, the strip light guide 121 is located in the area where the ferrite 130 is located, and the ferrite 130 can constrain the magnetic flux in the corresponding area of the conductive layer 150, thereby reducing the interference of the internal components of the electronic device on the antenna performance, thereby further improving the performance of the antenna.
[0033] In the above solution, the ferrite 130 may be attached to the second surface 111 b , or may be attached to the surface of the cover body facing the second surface 111 b .
[0034] In another optional solution, the ferrite 130 may be attached to the first surface 111a, and in a direction perpendicular to the first surface 111a, the orthographic projection of the strip light guide 121 may be located within the orthographic projection of the ferrite 130. In this solution, the ferrite 130 is attached to the first surface 111a, that is, the ferrite 130 is located between the first surface 111a and the outer surface of the housing 200, thereby avoiding the risk of interference between the ferrite 130 and the strip light guide 121 and the light source 122, thereby reducing the difficulty of assembling the camera decorative assembly 100.
[0035] In the above solution, in order to avoid the holes on the outer bracket 111, the ferrite 130 can be a ring structure, and the inner ring area of the ferrite 130 is opposite to the holes on the outer bracket 111, thereby avoiding covering the holes on the outer bracket 111.
[0036] In another optional embodiment, the strip light guide 121 and the light source 122 can both be disposed on the second surface 111b, and the outer bracket 111 can be provided with an avoidance hole 1111, and the avoidance hole 1111 can pass through the first surface 111a to the second surface 111b. One end of the electrical connector 123 can be disposed on the second surface 111b, and the other end of the electrical connector 123 can pass through the avoidance hole 1111 to the side where the first surface 111a is located. In this solution, the electrical connector 123 can be guided from the second surface 111b to the first surface 111a facing the inner cavity of the shell 200 through the avoidance hole 1111, thereby simplifying the circuit structure on the camera decorative component 100, and further facilitating the electrical connection between the circuit structure on the camera decorative component 100 and the circuit board of the electronic device, thereby helping to simplify the circuit structure of the electronic device.
[0037] Further, the electrical connector 123 may include a flexible circuit board 1231 and a contact connection portion 1232, the contact connection portion 1232 may be arranged on the first surface 111a, and the contact connection portion 1232 is used to electrically connect to the circuit board of the electronic device. The contact connection portion 1232 here may be a spring structure, a pin structure or a gold finger, etc. The contact connection portion 1232 here is fixed on the first surface 111a. The first end of the flexible circuit board 1231 is attached to the second surface 111b. The conductive layer 150 and the light source 122 can both be electrically connected to the first end of the flexible circuit board. The second end of the flexible circuit board 1231 can pass through the avoidance hole 1111 to the side where the first surface 111a is located, and be electrically connected to the contact connection portion 1232. This solution can further optimize the circuit structure on the camera decorative component 100.
[0038] In the above solution, the strip light guide 121 can be a straight strip structure. In this case, there can be multiple strip light guides 121, each of which can correspond to one side of the decorative element 110. Multiple strip light guides 121 can form a ring light effect around the outer periphery of the decorative element 110. Multiple corresponding light sources 122 also need to be provided.
[0039] In another optional solution, the strip light guide 121 can form a ring structure. Specifically, the strip light guide 121 can be subjected to a heat bending process to form a ring structure, so the strip light guide 121 can be bent to form a ring structure with the same profile as the decorative member 110. In this case, the camera decorative assembly 100 can be provided with only one strip light guide 121 and one light source 122, thereby reducing the parts of the light effect module 120, which is more conducive to the thinness of the camera decorative assembly 100.
[0040] Further, the outer circumference of the strip light guide 121 may be provided with a plurality of tooth structures 1213, and the plurality of tooth structures 1213 may be arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the strip light guide 121. In this solution, the provision of the tooth structure 1213 on the outer circumference of the strip light guide 121 may effectively release the bending stress of the strip light guide 121, thereby avoiding the risk of the strip light guide 121 breaking. In addition, the plurality of tooth structures 1213 may also increase the number of reflections of light in the strip light guide 121, thereby further improving the uniformity of the light effect.
[0041] In another optional solution, the strip light guide 121 may include a light incident section 121a and a light guide section 121b connected to each other, and one end of the light incident section 121a away from the light guide section 121b may be arranged opposite to the light source 122, and the conductive layer 150 arranged on the light incident section 121a may be electrically connected to the electrical connector 123 through a conductive adhesive layer 162. Specifically, the conductive layer 150 arranged on the light incident section 121a may be electrically connected to the first end of the flexible circuit board 1231 through the conductive adhesive layer 162. The conductive layer 150 arranged on the light guide section 121b may be bonded to the decorative member 110 through an insulating adhesive layer 161. Specifically, the conductive layer 150 arranged on the light guide section 121b may be bonded to the second surface 111b through an insulating adhesive layer 161. The above-mentioned conductive adhesive layer 162 may be a conductive silver paste layer, and of course, may also be other conductive adhesive layers. The insulating adhesive layer 161 may be a structure such as foam, double-sided tape or glue with adhesive properties.
[0042] The light entry section 121a here refers to the area where the light just enters the strip light guide 121, and the light entry section 121a can play a role in mixing the light that has just entered. It can also be understood that the area of the strip light guide 121 close to the light source 122 is the light entry section 121a. The light guide section 121b refers to the area where the light effect is mainly formed, and it can be understood here that the area of the strip light guide 121 far from the light source 122 is the light guide section 121b.
[0043] This solution can not only improve the connection reliability between the conductive layer 150 and the electrical connector 123 , but also improve the connection reliability between the strip light guide 121 and the decorative member 110 . Therefore, the camera decorative assembly 100 disclosed in the present application has good assembly reliability.
[0044] In the above solution, the strip-shaped light guide 121 has two light incident sections 121 a , which are respectively located at the two ends of the light guide section 121 b , and the two light incident sections 121 a are arranged opposite to the light source 122 .
[0045] Furthermore, the camera decorative component 100 may also include an elastic pressing member 140, which may be located on the side of the strip light guide 121 away from the conductive layer 150, and the elastic pressing member 140 is pressed against the light incident section 121a. At this time, the elastic pressing member 140 can press the light incident section 121a against the electrical connector 123, thereby further improving the connection reliability between the conductive layer 150 and the electrical connector 123.
[0046] Optionally, the elastic pressing member 140 may be disposed on the decorative member 110. For example, it may be disposed on the side of the cover plate 112 facing the second surface 111b. Alternatively, the elastic pressing member 140 may be disposed on the light source 122, such as Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 It is a partial cross-sectional view of the light source 122. The light source 122 may include a light source bracket 122a and a light-emitting member. The light source bracket 122a is formed with an installation space. The light-emitting member is located in the installation hole. At this time, at least part of the light-entering section 121a may be located in the installation space, and the elastic pressing member 140 may be filled in the installation space to press the light-entering section 121a. Of course, in order to facilitate the electrical connection between the light-entering member and the conductive layer 150 on the light-entering section 121a and the electrical connector 123, part of the electrical connector 123 may also be located in the installation space. For example, the first end of the above-mentioned flexible circuit board 1231 may extend into the installation space.
[0047] Optionally, the elastic pressing member 140 can be made of elastic foam, rubber, etc. Of course, the elastic pressing member 140 can also be made of other materials, which is not limited herein.
[0048] In another optional solution, an insulating layer may be provided on the outer surface of the conductive layer 150 disposed on the light guide segment 121b. In this solution, the insulating layer can avoid the risk of short circuit of the conductive layer 150, thereby improving the reliability of the antenna function.
[0049] Optionally, the insulating layer may be an insulating varnish coated on the outer surface of the conductive layer 150, or may be other insulating coating structures, which is not limited herein.
[0050] In the above solution, the conductive layer 150 can be a circuit layer, and of course can also be etched into multiple circuit layers arranged in parallel. Multiple circuit layers are beneficial to reducing the stress when the strip light guide 121 is bent, thereby reducing the risk of cracking of the circuit layer.
[0051] In another optional embodiment, the strip light guide 121 may be a light guide optical fiber.
