Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electronic products, and in particular to an electronic device. Background Art

[0002] Currently, electronic devices such as smart wearables, smartphones, tablets, laptops, and large-screen displays are equipped with ambient light modules. These modules include ambient light sensors that detect the intensity of ambient light around the electronic device and perform corresponding optimization operations. For example, if low ambient light is detected, the screen backlight brightness can be dimmed to avoid irritation to the human eye and reduce power consumption.

[0003] The electronic device also includes a circuit board, a middle frame, and an ambient light bracket. The circuit board is fixed to the middle frame, and the ambient light module is mounted on the circuit board. The ambient light bracket is located on the side of the ambient light module and circuit board facing away from the middle frame. The ambient light bracket is also fixed to the middle frame with fasteners such as screws. This allows the ambient light bracket to limit the position of the ambient light module and circuit board relative to the middle frame, ensuring the positional stability of the ambient light module and circuit board. In the prior art, the ambient light bracket is required to have as few fasteners as possible to avoid affecting the continuity and structural strength of the circuit board. At the same time, the electronic device is required to be increasingly thinner and lighter. However, the prior art often cannot meet both of these requirements simultaneously. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present application provides an electronic device that can reduce the number of fasteners used to fix the ambient light bracket and the middle frame while enabling the entire electronic device to be developed in a direction of being lighter and thinner.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application provides an electronic device, which includes a surface component, a first middle frame, a circuit board, an ambient light module and an ambient light bracket. The surface component can be an external screen, and the surface component has a first surface, which forms a partial area of ​​the outer surface of the electronic device, that is, the first surface is the outer surface of the surface component. A first light-transmitting window is also provided on the surface component, and the first light-transmitting window allows ambient light to enter the electronic device and be collected by the ambient light sensor. The first middle frame includes a middle plate portion, which is located on the side of the surface component facing away from the first surface. The circuit board is connected to the middle plate portion. The ambient light module is arranged between the circuit board and the surface component, and the ambient light module includes an ambient light sensor, and the light-sensitive surface of the ambient light sensor faces the first light-transmitting window. The ambient light bracket includes a bracket body and a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion respectively connected to opposite ends of the bracket body. The bracket body is arranged between the ambient light module and the surface component, the first connecting portion is connected to the circuit board, and the second connecting portion is connected to the middle plate portion.

[0006] In this way, by connecting the first and second connecting portions to the circuit board and the mid-plate portion, respectively, the ambient light bracket is fixedly connected within the electronic device, enabling the ambient light bracket to prevent the ambient light module and the circuit board from falling from the mid-plate portion. Furthermore, since the first connecting portion of the ambient light bracket is connected to the circuit board, the first connecting portion does not need to be provided with a fastener to connect to the mid-plate portion. Therefore, the position on the circuit board corresponding to the first connecting portion does not need to be provided with a through hole for avoiding the fastener. This can reduce the number of through holes provided on the circuit board, ensuring the structural continuity and strength of the circuit board. At the same time, the ambient light bracket does not need to be connected to other brackets to form a single bracket to share fasteners, thereby reducing the weight of the bracket and avoiding the overlap of thickness between the bracket and the electronic components on the circuit board, thereby enabling the entire electronic device to develop in a lighter and thinner direction.

[0007] Optionally, the electronic device further comprises a camera bracket, and the ambient light bracket is spaced apart from the camera bracket. In this way, the ambient light bracket and the camera bracket are independently provided, which can reduce the weight of the bracket and avoid the thickness overlap between the bracket and the electronic components on the circuit board.

[0008] Optionally, the electronic device further comprises a housing for the speaker module, and the ambient light bracket is also spaced apart from the housing. In this way, the ambient light bracket and the housing are also independently provided, which is conducive to making the entire device lighter and thinner.

[0009] Optionally, the electronic device further includes a connector. The connector may be a plug connector, a clip connector, or a threaded connector. The connector is located between the circuit board and the surface component and is connected to the circuit board. The first connecting portion is connected to the connector. This structure is simple and easy to operate.

[0010] Optionally, a solder pad is provided on the surface of the circuit board facing the surface component, and the connector is a metal member that is welded to the solder pad. In this way, the connector is welded to the surface of the circuit board without the need for holes or slots in the circuit board, thereby ensuring the structural continuity and strength of the circuit board.

[0011] Optionally, the connector can be soldered together with other electronic components on the surface of the circuit board facing the outer screen using surface mounting technology to improve the connection efficiency of the connector on the circuit board.

[0012] Optionally, the connecting member is provided with a slot, the opening of the slot faces a position on the middle plate portion for connecting the second connecting portion, and the first connecting portion is inserted into the slot.

[0013] Optionally, the middle plate portion has a threaded hole, and the second connecting portion has a through hole, the through hole being opposite and connected to the threaded hole. The electronic device further includes a screw comprising a head and a shaft, the head being positioned between the second connecting portion and the surface component, a portion of the shaft being inserted into the through hole, and another portion of the shaft being threaded into the threaded hole. Thus, the second connecting portion is connected to the middle plate portion via the screw, and this connection method provides greater stability, ensuring the connection strength of the ambient light bracket to the middle plate portion.

[0014] Optionally, the surface of the second connecting portion facing the surface component is the front face, and the surface of the second connecting portion facing away from the surface component is the back face. The second connecting portion is provided with a recessed groove extending from the front face to the back face, and the via hole extends from the bottom face of the recessed groove to the back face. The head of the screw is accommodated within the recessed groove. This arrangement, by accommodating the screw head, prevents any overlap between the head and the second connecting portion, contributing to a slimmer and lighter device.

[0015] Optionally, the middle plate portion is provided with a first card slot, which is located on a side of the second connecting portion facing away from the first connecting portion, and the opening of the first card slot is facing the second connecting portion. The ambient light bracket also includes a first clip, which extends from the second connecting portion to the first card slot and is clipped into the first card slot. In this way, after the first connecting portion is inserted into the slot and before the second connecting portion is connected to the middle plate portion with a screw, the first card slot and the first clip can be used to pre-fix the through hole and the threaded hole so that the through hole is aligned with the threaded hole, thereby preventing the problem of the screw being unable to be inserted due to misalignment between the through hole and the threaded hole during the installation process.

[0016] Optionally, the middle plate portion is further provided with a second card slot, the arrangement direction of the second connecting portion and the second card slot is intersecting (including perpendicular) with the arrangement direction of the second connecting portion and the first connecting portion, and the opening of the second card slot is facing the second connecting portion. The ambient light bracket also includes a second clip, which extends from the second connecting portion to the second card slot and is snapped into the second card slot. In this way, after the first connecting portion is inserted into the slot and before the second connecting portion is connected to the middle plate portion by means of screws, in addition to pre-fixing by means of the first card slot and the first clip, pre-fixing is also achieved by means of the second card slot and the second clip, which can improve the stability of the pre-fixing.

[0017] Optionally, the second connecting portion includes a first connecting part and a second connecting part located on opposite sides of the through hole. The arrangement direction of the first connecting part, the through hole, and the second connecting part is roughly perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the first connecting part, the bracket body, and the second connecting part. The first clip is located on the side of the first connecting part facing away from the second connecting part, and the first clip is connected to the first connecting part. The second clip is located on the side of the second connecting part facing away from the first connecting part, and the second clip is connected to the second connecting part. In this way, when the first clip is pre-fixed with the first slot and the second clip is pre-fixed with the second slot, unilateral warping of the second connecting part can be prevented, so that the through hole and the threaded hole can be accurately aligned.

[0018] Optionally, the surface of the middle plate portion facing the surface component is the second surface, and the surface of the middle plate portion facing away from the surface component is the third surface. The middle plate portion is provided with a mounting groove recessed from the second surface toward the third surface, and the circuit board is accommodated within the mounting groove. The first and second slots are disposed within the middle plate portion, and the openings of the first and second slots are disposed on the inner side of the mounting groove. This structure is simple and the design is reasonable.

[0019] Optionally, the ambient light module further includes an adapter plate positioned between the circuit board and the surface component and stacked with the circuit board. The ambient light sensor is positioned between the adapter plate and the surface component and electrically connected to the adapter plate, which is in turn electrically connected to the circuit board. The adapter plate can raise the ambient light sensor, placing the light-sensitive surface of the ambient light sensor closer to the first light-transmitting window, thereby increasing the ambient light sensor's field of view.

[0020] Optionally, the ambient light module also includes a proximity light sensor, which is located between the adapter plate and the surface component and is electrically connected to the adapter plate. The proximity light sensor includes an emitter and at least one receiver. The surface component is also provided with a second light-transmitting window, with the light-emitting surface of the emitter and the light-entering surface of the at least one receiver facing the second light-transmitting window. In this way, with the help of the adapter plate, while raising the ambient light sensor, it is also used to raise the proximity light sensor, so that the light-emitting surface of the emitter and the light-entering surface of the receiver are closer to the second light-transmitting window, thereby increasing the field of view of the proximity light sensor.

[0021] Optionally, the bracket body is located between the adapter plate and the surface component, and the bracket body is located on a peripheral side of the ambient light sensor.

[0022] Optionally, the ambient light sensor includes a first side and a second side, and a third side and a fourth side. The third side and the fourth side are located between the first side and the second side. The proximity light sensor is located on the first side and spaced apart from the ambient light sensor. The bracket body includes a first bracket portion, and second and third bracket portions connected to opposite ends of the first bracket portion. The first bracket portion is located on the first side and located between the ambient light sensor and the proximity light sensor. The second bracket portion is located on the third side, and the third bracket portion is located on the fourth side. The first connecting portion is located on a side of the second bracket portion facing away from the third bracket portion and is fixedly connected to the second bracket portion. The second connecting portion is located on a side of the third bracket portion facing away from the second bracket portion and is fixedly connected to the third bracket portion. An elastic notch is formed on the second side between the second and third bracket portions. In this way, the first, second, and third bracket portions can achieve sealing on three sides of the ambient light sensor, ensuring the detection accuracy of the ambient light sensor. The elastic notch also increases the elasticity of the bracket body, allowing the first and second clips to deform more significantly relative to the first connecting portion, making them easier to engage with the first and second slots.

[0023] Optionally, the second connecting portion includes a first plastic body and a first metal insert embedded in the first plastic body. The first bracket portion and the third bracket portion are both plastic structures. The second bracket portion includes a second plastic body and a second metal insert embedded in the second plastic body. The first connecting portion is a metal structure. The first plastic body, the third bracket portion, the first bracket portion and the second plastic body are integrally formed, and the second metal insert is integrally formed with the first connecting portion. In this way, the ambient light bracket is composed of a plastic structure and a metal insert, and the metal insert is embedded in at least the connecting portion of the ambient light bracket, which can reduce the weight of the ambient light bracket while ensuring the connection strength, thereby helping to reduce the weight of the entire device.

[0024] Optionally, along the axial direction of the through hole, at least a portion of the first metal insert is opposite to the head of the screw. In this way, the connection strength between the second connecting portion and the screw can be improved by means of the first metal insert.

[0025] Optionally, the electronic device further comprises a first elastic soft material and a second elastic soft material. The first elastic soft material is disposed between the surface component and the bracket body. The second elastic soft material is disposed between the bracket body and the adapter plate.

[0063] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 , Figure 1 This is a three-dimensional diagram of the electronic device 100 in the unfolded state provided in some embodiments of the present application. Figure 2 for Figure 1 The exploded structural diagram of the electronic device 100 is shown. Figure 3 for Figure 1 The electronic device 100 is a three-dimensional diagram of a folded state. The electronic device 100 includes an inner screen 10 , a supporting device 20 and an outer screen 30 .

[0064] The inner screen 10 is used to display images, videos, and other information. The inner screen 10 can be an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) screen, a micro organic light-emitting diode (MLD) screen, a quantum dot light-emitting diode (QLED) screen, a liquid crystal display (LCD), or the like.

[0065] The inner screen 10 has a display area for displaying image information. The display area of ​​the inner screen 10 is exposed to facilitate the presentation of images, videos and other information to the user. The inner screen 10 includes a first inner screen portion 101, a second inner screen portion 102 and a third inner screen portion 103. The third inner screen portion 103 is connected between the first inner screen portion 101 and the second inner screen portion 102. Figure 1 In the electronic device 100 shown, the inner screen 10 is in the unfolded state, and the first inner screen portion 101, the third inner screen portion 103, and the second inner screen portion 102 can be arranged in sequence along the horizontal direction, so that the electronic device 100 is folded in the horizontal direction. In some other embodiments, when the inner screen 10 is in the unfolded state, the first inner screen portion 101, the third inner screen portion 103, and the second inner screen portion 102 can also be arranged in sequence along the vertical direction. In this way, the electronic device 100 is folded in the vertical direction. When the inner screen 10 is in the unfolded state, a large-screen display can be achieved to provide users with richer information and bring users a better user experience.

[0066] At least the third inner screen portion 103 of the inner screen 10 is a flexible screen structure. In this way, the third inner screen portion 103 can be bent and deformed after being subjected to external force, so that the inner screen 10 is Figure 1 Shown expanded state collapsed to Figure 3 The first inner screen portion 101 and the second inner screen portion 102 of the inner screen 10 can be a flexible screen structure, a hard screen structure, or a partially flexible screen structure and a partially hard screen structure, which is not specifically limited here.

[0067] When the inner screen is folded, see Figure 3 , the first inner screen part and the second inner screen part are approximately parallel and opposite to each other. It should be noted that when the angle θ between the first inner screen part and the second inner screen part is within 30°, the first inner screen part and the second inner screen part can be considered to be approximately parallel. The first inner screen part and the second inner screen part are opposite to each other means that the display surface of the first inner screen part faces the display surface of the second inner screen part.

[0068] When the electronic device 100 is in the folded state, please continue to refer to Figure 3 The supporting device 20 is protected outside the inner screen 10, and the inner screen 10 is invisible to the user, which can prevent the inner screen 10 from being scratched by hard objects, and the size of the electronic device 100 is reduced, making it easy to carry.

[0069] The support device 20 is used to support the inner screen 10. The support device 20 includes a first shell 201, a second shell 202 and a hinge mechanism 203. The first shell 201 supports the first inner screen portion 101, and the second shell 202 supports the second inner screen portion 102. The hinge mechanism 203 is connected between the first shell 201 and the second shell 202, and supports the third inner screen portion 103. The hinge mechanism 203 is used to realize the rotation between the second shell 202 and the first shell 201 to support the folding of the inner screen 10 between the unfolded state and the folded state.

[0070] In the above embodiment, please refer to the optional Figure 2 and Figure 3 The first housing 201 may include a first middle frame 2011, on which the first inner screen portion 101 is supported, and the outer screen 30 is located on the side of the first middle frame 2011 facing away from the first inner screen portion 101 and connected to the first middle frame 2011. A first accommodating cavity is formed between the first middle frame 2011 and the outer screen 30, and is used to accommodate electronic components such as circuit boards, speaker modules, front cameras, and batteries. On this basis, the first housing 201 can be connected to the hinge mechanism 203 with the help of the first middle frame 2011.

[0071] Please continue reading Figure 2 and Figure 3 The second shell 202 may include a second middle frame 2021 and a back cover 2022 connected together. The second inner screen portion 102 is carried on the second middle frame 2021. The back cover 2022 is located on the side of the second middle frame 2021 facing away from the second inner screen portion 102. The back cover 2022 can also be replaced with a display screen. A second accommodating cavity is formed between the second middle frame 2021 and the back cover 2022. The second accommodating cavity is used to accommodate electronic components such as circuit boards, speaker modules, arrays, batteries, and rear cameras. On this basis, the second shell 202 can be connected to the hinge mechanism 203 with the help of the second middle frame 2021.

[0072] Figure 3 The folded state shown is Figure 1 The electronic device 100 shown is formed by flipping the first inner screen portion 101 , the outer screen 30 , the first shell 201 and the electronic components in the first accommodating cavity toward the second shell 202 along the direction a1 .

[0073] In the electronic device 100 described above, the inner screen 10, the outer screen 30, and the back cover 2022 form the three surface components of the electronic device 100. The surface components of the electronic device 100 refer to the components on the electronic device 100 that can be seen and touched by the user from the outside. When the electronic device 100 is another product, the surface components of the electronic device can also be one or more other components, and this application does not specifically limit this.

[0074] An ambient light module is provided inside the electronic device 100, and the ambient light module includes an ambient light sensor. At least one surface component of the electronic device 100 is provided with a first light-transmitting window, which allows light outside the electronic device 100 to enter the interior so as to be sensed by the ambient light sensor. Furthermore, the electronic device uses the ambient light sensor to sense the intensity of the external light to perform corresponding optimization operations. For example, when the ambient light sensor senses that the external light is weak, the backlight brightness of the screen (inner screen 10 or outer screen 30) is dimmed to avoid irritating the human eye and reduce power consumption.

[0075] The ambient light module can be housed in the first or second accommodating cavity. The first light-transmitting window can be provided on the inner screen 10, the outer screen 30, or the back cover 2022. This embodiment and the following embodiments are illustrative examples in which the ambient light module is provided in the first accommodating cavity and the first light-transmitting window is provided in the outer screen 30.

[0076] See also Figure 4-Figure 8 , Figure 4 for Figure 1-Figure 3 The three-dimensional diagram of the assembly structure of the first middle frame 2011, the outer screen 30 and some electronic components in the first accommodating cavity in the electronic device 100 is shown. Figure 5 for Figure 4 A three-dimensional view of area I in the assembly structure shown after the outer screen 30 is hidden, Figure 6 for Figure 5 The exploded structure diagram of the assembly structure shown is as follows, Figure 7 for Figure 4 The three-dimensional cross-sectional view of the assembly structure shown along the AA direction, Figure 8 for Figure 7 A schematic diagram of the structure of region II of the assembly structure as viewed from direction D1 is shown. The assembly structure is generally rectangular and flat. Based on this, to facilitate the description of the various embodiments below, an XYZ coordinate system is established for the assembly structure, defining the width of the assembly structure as the X-axis, the length as the Y-axis, and the thickness as the Z-axis. It will be appreciated that the coordinate system configuration of the assembly structure can be flexibly adjusted based on practical needs and is not specifically limited herein. In other embodiments, the assembly structure may also be shaped like a square, circular, or elliptical flat plate, among others.

[0077] The outer screen 30 has a first surface S1 , which forms a portion of the outer surface of the electronic device 100 . In other words, the first surface S1 is the outer surface of the outer screen 30 .

[0078] The first light-transmitting window T1 is provided on the outer screen 30 , and the first light-transmitting window T1 allows light outside the outer screen 30 to enter the inner side of the outer screen 30 .

[0079] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 The first light-transmitting window T1 may be a rectangular window, the long side of which may be parallel to the X-axis, and the short side of which may be parallel to the Y-axis. It should be noted that the long side and short side of the first light-transmitting window T1 described in this embodiment and the following embodiments refer to the relatively longer side and relatively shorter side of two adjacent sides of the first light-transmitting window T1, respectively, ignoring the depth of the first light-transmitting window T1 and treating the first light-transmitting window T1 as a planar opening. In other embodiments, the first light-transmitting window T1 may also be a square window, a circular window, an elliptical window, a triangular window, a polygonal window, or the like.

[0080] The first light-transmitting window T1 can be a non-physical opening, a physical light-transmitting or semi-transmitting material, or a portion thereof can be a non-physical opening and a portion thereof can be a physical light-transmitting or semi-transmitting material. The light-transmitting or semi-transmitting material can be glass, sapphire, acrylic, plastic, etc., and is not specifically limited here.

[0081] In some embodiments, see Figure 8 The outer screen 30 may include a light-transmitting cover plate 31, a display panel 32 and a protective layer 33 which are stacked in sequence.

[0082] The transparent cover plate 31 is used to protect the display panel 32 from scratches. The surface of the transparent cover plate 31 facing away from the display panel 32 forms the first surface S1. Materials for the transparent cover plate 31 include, but are not limited to, acrylic, glass, and sapphire. In other embodiments, the outer screen 30 may not include the transparent cover plate 31, but may instead use a polarizer to protect the display panel 32 from scratches.

[0083] The display panel 32 may be a self-luminous display panel. For example, the display panel 32 may be an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display panel, an active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) display panel, a mini organic light-emitting diode (MID) display panel, a micro organic light-emitting diode (MID) display panel, a micro organic light-emitting diode (MID) display panel, and a quantum dot light-emitting diode (QLED) display panel. In other embodiments, the display panel 32 may also be a display panel that is not self-luminous and requires a backlight module to provide backlight. For example, the display panel 32 may be a liquid crystal display (LCD) panel.

[0084] The protective layer 33 is used to provide support, cushioning, or anti-static protection for the display panel 32. The protective layer 33 can be formed by stacking multiple layers of different materials. For example, the protective layer 33 can be formed by stacking a polyimide film (PI) layer, a foam layer, and a metal layer. The PI layer is used to support the display panel 32, the foam layer is used to provide cushioning, and the metal layer is used to provide anti-static protection.

[0085] Based on the above, please continue to refer to Figure 7 , a through hole 331 is provided on the protective layer 33. The portion of the display panel 32 opposite to the through hole 331 is light-transmissive, and the portion of the display panel 32 opposite to the through hole 331 is defined as a first light-transmissive portion 321. The portion of the light-transmissive cover plate 31 opposite to the through hole 331 is defined as a second light-transmissive portion 311. The through hole 331, the first light-transmissive portion 321 and the second light-transmissive portion 311 are stacked to form the above-mentioned first light-transmissive window T1. In this way, the through hole 331 forms the non-physical portion of the first light-transmissive window T1, and the first light-transmissive portion 321 and the second light-transmissive portion 311 form the physical material portion of the first light-transmissive window T1. The physical material portion can prevent impurities such as water and dust from entering the interior of the electronic device. At the same time, the physical material portion can ensure the integrity of the display panel 32 and the display effect. The non-physical portion can reduce light loss and improve the light efficiency of the ambient light sensor receiving light (that is, the ratio of the received light power to the incident light power).

[0086] See also Figure 6 and Figure 7 The first middle frame 2011 includes a middle plate portion 2011a and a frame portion 2011b. The middle plate portion 2011a is located on the side of the outer screen 30 facing away from the first surface S1, and the frame portion 2011b is provided at the edge of the middle plate portion 2011a. The outer screen 30 can be fixed to the frame portion 2011b. In some embodiments, the outer screen 30 can be provided with a transparent cover plate 31 (see Figure 8 ) is bonded and fixed to the frame portion 2011b.

[0087] See also Figure 5-Figure 8 The electronic device 100 further includes a circuit board 40, an ambient light module 50, a sealing structure 60 and at least one limiting bracket 70. The circuit board 40, the ambient light module 50, the sealing structure 60 and at least one limiting bracket 70 are located on the outer screen 30 (see FIG. Figure 4 ) on the side facing away from the first surface S1.

[0088] The surface of the middle plate portion 2011a facing the outer screen 30 is defined as the second surface S2, and the surface of the middle plate portion 2011a facing away from the outer screen 30 is defined as the third surface S3. Figure 6 The middle plate portion 2011a is provided with a mounting groove C1 that extends from the second surface S2 toward the third surface S3. The circuit board 40 is accommodated within the mounting groove C1. This prevents any overlap between the middle plate portion 2011a and the circuit board 40, contributing to a lighter and thinner device. In other embodiments, the middle plate portion 2011a may not be provided with the mounting groove C1, and the circuit board 40 may be laminated onto the surface of the middle plate portion 2011a.

[0089] The circuit board 40 is connected to the middle plate portion 2011a. In some embodiments, the circuit board 40 can be fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the mounting slot C1 using a first fastener (e.g., a screw) K1. In other embodiments, when the middle plate portion 2011a does not have a mounting slot C1, the circuit board 40 can be fixedly connected to the surface of the middle plate portion 2011a using the first fastener K1.

[0090] The number of the limiting brackets 70 in at least one limiting bracket 70 can be one or more. Figure 6 and Figure 7 In the illustrated embodiment, there may be two position-limiting brackets 70, namely a first position-limiting bracket 71 and a second position-limiting bracket 72. The position-limiting bracket 70 may be a metal bracket or a plastic bracket, and may further include a plastic bracket body and a metal insert embedded in the plastic bracket body. In some embodiments, the first position-limiting bracket 71 may be a plastic bracket, and the second position-limiting bracket 72 may be a metal bracket.

[0091] At least one limiting bracket 70 is arranged between the circuit board 40 and the outer screen 30. The at least one limiting bracket 70 is connected to the middle plate portion 2011a to limit the position of the circuit board 40 and the electronic components on the circuit board 40 relative to the middle plate portion 2011a, thereby improving the structural stability of the entire machine.

[0092] In some embodiments, the first fastener K1 is not only used to fix the circuit board 40 to the middle plate portion 2011 a , but also used to fix the limiting bracket 70 to the middle plate portion 2011 a .

[0093] Optional, see Figure 6 The bottom wall of the mounting groove C1 is provided with a first boss portion N1, and the top surface of the first boss portion N1 is provided with a threaded hole C2 that is recessed into the first boss portion N1 and the bottom wall of the mounting groove C1. A through hole C3 is provided on the circuit board 40, and the first boss portion N1 is accommodated in the through hole C3. The head of the first fastener K1 is located between the limiting bracket 70 and the outer screen 30, and the rod portion passes through the limiting bracket 70 and is connected to the threaded hole C2, thereby simultaneously achieving a fixed connection between the circuit board 40 and the middle plate portion 2011a, and between the limiting bracket 70 and the middle plate portion 2011a. In this way, the number of first fasteners K1 provided can be reduced, reducing the complexity of the structure. At the same time, the number of through holes C3 provided on the circuit board 40 can be reduced, ensuring the structural continuity and structural strength of the circuit board 40.

[0094] The ambient light module 50 is an electronic component connected to the circuit board 40. The ambient light module 50 is disposed between the circuit board 40 and the external screen 30, and is electrically connected to the circuit board 40 so as to be electrically connected to other electronic components via the circuit board 40.

[0095] In some embodiments, the ambient light module 50 includes the ambient light sensor 51 , and the light-sensing surface of the ambient light sensor 51 faces the first light-transmitting window T1 .

[0096] In some embodiments, see Figure 6-Figure 8 , the ambient light module 50 may further include an adapter plate 52. The adapter plate 52 is located between the circuit board 40 and the external screen 30, and is stacked with the circuit board 40. The ambient light sensor 51 is arranged between the adapter plate 52 and the external screen 30, and the ambient light sensor 51 is electrically connected to the adapter plate 52, and is electrically connected to the circuit board 40 with the aid of the adapter plate 52. The adapter plate 52 can raise the height of the ambient light sensor 51, so that the photosensitive surface of the ambient light sensor 51 is closer to the first light-transmitting window T1, thereby increasing the field of view (FOV) of the ambient light sensor 51. FOV is a parameter that measures the field of view of the ambient light sensor. The larger the FOV, the larger the field of view, the greater the light efficiency of the received light, and the higher the detection accuracy.

[0097] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 , the ambient light module 50 may also include a proximity light sensor 53. The proximity light sensor 53 is used to sense whether an object is approaching. When an object is approaching, the controller in the electronic device 100 can control the execution of corresponding optimization operations. For example, when the user is answering a call or WeChat voice, the ear is close to the phone, the proximity light sensor 53 senses the ear is approaching, and the controller controls the external screen 30 to turn off the screen to prevent the user's face, ear or other parts from touching the external screen 30 and hanging up the phone or opening other applications. When the proximity light sensor 53 senses that the ear is away, the controller controls the external screen 30 to light up again.

[0098] The proximity light sensor 53 may include a transmitter 531 and at least one receiver 532. The transmitter 531 is configured to emit light pulses, which are reflected by the object being measured and then enter the at least one receiver 532. The proximity light sensor 53 measures the time interval between the emission and reception of the light pulses to calculate the distance between the proximity light sensor 53 and the object being measured, thereby sensing whether an object is approaching.

[0099] The number of the at least one receiver 532 may be one or more. Figure 6 The number of the receivers 532 can be two, and the two receivers 532 are respectively located on opposite sides of the transmitter 531. In this way, by using the two receivers 532 to receive the light pulses, the measurement accuracy can be improved.

[0100] Based on the above examples, please refer to Figure 4 The outer screen 30 may also be provided with a second light-transmitting window T2. The structure of the second light-transmitting window T2 may be the same as that of the first light-transmitting window T1, and will not be described in detail here. Figure 4 and Figure 6 The light emitting surface of the emitter 531 and the light incident surface of the receiver 532 in the proximity light sensor 53 both face the second light-transmitting window T2.

[0101] In some embodiments, see Figure 6The proximity light sensor 53 can be located between the adapter plate 52 and the outer screen 30, and the proximity light sensor 53 is electrically connected to the adapter plate 52 and electrically connected to the circuit board 40 via the adapter plate 52. In this way, the adapter plate 52 is used to elevate the ambient light sensor 51 while also elevating the proximity light sensor 53, so that the light-emitting surface of the emitter 531 and the light-entering surface of the receiver 532 are closer to the second light-transmitting window T2, thereby increasing the FOV of the proximity light sensor 53. This eliminates the need to provide separate adapter plates for the ambient light sensor 51 and the proximity light sensor 53, thereby reducing the structural complexity of the electronic device 100 and saving costs.

[0102] The sealing structure 60 is used to seal the optical path of the ambient light sensor 51 . The sealing structure 60 is also used to limit the ambient light module 50 and the circuit board 40 to prevent the ambient light module 50 and the circuit board 40 from falling off the middle plate portion 2011 a .

[0103] In some embodiments, see Figure 6 and Figure 8 The sealing structure 60 may include an ambient light bracket 61 , a first elastic soft material 62 and a second elastic soft material 63 .

[0104] The ambient light bracket 61 is located between the ambient light module 50 and the outer screen 30 and is also fixedly connected to the middle plate portion 2011a via a second fastener (e.g., a screw) K2. The second fastener K2 is connected to the middle plate portion 2011a in the same manner as the first fastener K1, and is not further described here. This allows the ambient light bracket 61 to stop the ambient light module 50 and the circuit board 40, preventing them from falling off the middle plate portion 2011a and ensuring their positional stability.

[0105] Furthermore, the ambient light bracket 61 is a non-transparent structure, that is, the light transmittance of the ambient light bracket 61 is less than 5%, and the ambient light bracket 61 is arranged around the ambient light sensor 51. In this way, the ambient light bracket 61 can also seal the optical path of the ambient light sensor 51, ensuring the detection accuracy of the ambient light sensor 51.

[0106] The ambient light bracket 61 may be a metal bracket or a plastic bracket, and may further include a plastic bracket body and a metal insert disposed in the plastic bracket body, which is not specifically limited in this application.

[0107] The first elastic soft material 62 is disposed between the ambient light bracket 61 and the external screen 30, and the second elastic soft material 63 is disposed between the ambient light bracket 61 and the adapter plate 52 of the ambient light module 50. Under the restraining action of the external screen 30 and the adapter plate 52, the first elastic soft material 62 and the second elastic soft material 63 can be in a compressed state to seal the light paths between the ambient light bracket 61 and the external screen 30, and between the ambient light bracket 61 and the adapter plate 52.

[0108] The first elastic soft material 62 and the second elastic soft material 63 may be foam, rubber, silicone, etc., which is not specifically limited in this application.

[0109] In this embodiment, the connection between the second fastener K2 and the middle plate portion 2011a passes through the circuit board 40. To avoid this connection, the circuit board 40 is reduced in size, or a through-hole is provided on the circuit board 40 to avoid the connection. The greater the number of second fasteners K2, the greater the number of connection points between the second fasteners K2 and the middle plate portion 2011a. The smaller the circuit board 40, the greater the number of through-holes, and the lower the structural continuity and strength of the circuit board 40. However, to ensure the connection strength between the sealing structure 60 and the middle plate portion 2011a, the number of second fasteners K2 is often greater than two, resulting in a reduction in the size of the circuit board 40 and a decrease in its structural continuity and strength.

[0110] In order to solve the above problems, in the related technology, please refer to Figure 5-Figure 7 The ambient light bracket 61 can be connected to the limiting bracket 70 to form a bracket as a whole. For example, the ambient light bracket 61 can be connected to the first limiting bracket 71 to form a whole. The first limiting bracket 71 is used to limit the position of the camera module, the speaker module, and the circuit board 40 relative to the middle plate portion 2011a. In this way, the ambient light bracket 61 can share at least one fastener with the limiting bracket 70 to reduce the number of second fasteners K2 and ensure the size, structural continuity and strength of the circuit board 40. However, such a bracket as a whole is heavy and easily overlaps with the thickness of the electronic components on the circuit board 40, especially in the case of Figure 6 The position of region III of the bracket as a whole shown hinders the thinning and lightening of the electronic device 100 because the thickness of the bracket as a whole and the electronic components on the circuit board 40 overlap.

[0111] In order to reduce the number of second fasteners K2 and make the whole electronic device lighter and thinner, please refer to Figures 9-14 , Figure 9 This is a three-dimensional diagram of the assembly structure of the first middle frame 2011, the outer screen 30, and some electronic components in the first accommodating cavity in the electronic device 100 provided in some embodiments of the present application. Figure 10 for Figure 9A three-dimensional view of area IV in the assembly structure shown after the outer screen 30 is hidden, Figure 11 for Figure 10 The enlarged view of the assembly structure in area V is shown. Figure 12 for Figure 10 The exploded structure diagram of the assembly structure shown is as follows, Figure 13 for Figure 10-12 A perspective view of the sealing structure 60 in the assembly structure shown, Figure 14 for Figure 13 The exploded structural diagram of the sealing structure 60 is shown. Figure 4-Figure 8 The difference of the illustrated embodiment is that in this embodiment, within the sealing structure 60 , the ambient light bracket 61 includes a bracket body 611 and a first connecting portion 612 and a second connecting portion 613 respectively connected to opposite ends of the bracket body 611 .

[0112] In some embodiments, the first connection part 612, the bracket body 611, and the second connection part 613 are arranged roughly along the X-axis direction. In other embodiments, the first connection part 612, the bracket body 611, and the second connection part 613 can also be arranged along the Y-axis direction. The arrangement direction of the first connection part 612, the bracket body 611, and the second connection part 613 can also be inclined relative to the X-axis direction or the Y-axis direction.

[0113] The first connection part 612, the bracket body 611 and the second connection part 613 can be integrally formed, or can be independently formed and fixedly connected. This application uses the integral forming of the first connection part 612, the bracket body 611 and the second connection part 613 as an example.

[0114] The bracket body 611 is disposed between the ambient light module 50 and the outer screen 30. The ambient light module 50 may be the same as the ambient light module 50 described in any of the above embodiments, and will not be described in detail herein.

[0115] The first connecting portion 612 is connected to the circuit board 40 , and the second connecting portion 613 is connected to the middle plate portion 2011 a .

[0116] In this way, by connecting the first connecting portion 612 and the second connecting portion 613 to the circuit board 40 and the middle plate portion 2011a, respectively, the ambient light bracket 61 is fixedly connected within the electronic device, enabling the ambient light bracket 61 to prevent the ambient light module 50 and the circuit board 40 from falling off the middle plate portion 2011a. Furthermore, because the first connecting portion 612 of the ambient light bracket 61 is connected to the circuit board 40, no fasteners are required to connect the first connecting portion 612 to the middle plate portion 2011a. Therefore, no through-holes are required on the circuit board 40 corresponding to the first connecting portion 612 to accommodate the fasteners. This reduces the number of through-holes provided on the circuit board 40, ensuring the structural continuity and strength of the circuit board 40. Furthermore, since the ambient light bracket 61 does not need to be connected to other brackets to form a single bracket and share fasteners, the weight of the bracket can be reduced and the thickness of the bracket and electronic components on the circuit board 40 can be avoided, thereby enabling the electronic device 100 to be made thinner and lighter.

[0117] Please refer to Figure 11 The electronic device 100 further includes a connector 80. The connector 80 may be a plug-in connector, a snap-on connector, or a threaded connector. The connector 80 is located between the circuit board 40 and the external screen 30 and is connected to the circuit board 40. Optionally, the connector 80 may be welded to the circuit board 40 or bonded to the circuit board 40, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment. The first connecting portion 612 is connected to the connector 80. This structure is simple and easy to operate.

[0118] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 11 The surface of the circuit board 40 facing the outer screen 30 is provided with a soldering pad M. The connector 80 is a metal member, which is welded to the soldering pad M. In this way, the connector 80 is connected to the surface of the circuit board 40 by welding, without the need to provide holes or grooves in the circuit board 40, which can ensure the structural continuity and strength of the circuit board 40.

[0119] In some embodiments, the connector 80 can be soldered to the surface of the circuit board 40 facing the outer screen 30 together with other electronic components using surface mount technology (SMT) to improve the connection efficiency of the connector 80 on the circuit board 40.

[0120] In some embodiments, see Figure 11 The connector 80 is provided with a slot 81. The slot 81 opens toward the position on the middle plate portion 2011a for connecting with the second connecting portion 613, and the first connecting portion 612 is inserted into the slot 81. Thus, the connector 80 is a plug-in connector, and the first connecting portion 612 is connected to the connector 80 by plugging. This plug-in connection is easy to operate and can improve the connection efficiency of the first connecting portion 612 to the connector 80.

[0121] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 12 , and refer to Figures 9-11 The middle plate portion 2011a is provided with a threaded hole C4, and the second connecting portion 613 is provided with a through hole C5, which is opposite and connected to the threaded hole C4. Based on this, the electronic device also includes a screw K3. The screw K3 includes a head and a shaft. The head is located between the second connecting portion 613 and the outer screen 30. A portion of the shaft is inserted into the through hole C5, and another portion of the shaft is threadedly connected to the threaded hole C4. In this way, the second connecting portion 613 is connected to the middle plate portion 2011a using the screw K3. This connection method is more stable and can ensure the connection strength of the ambient light bracket 61 to the middle plate portion 2011a.

[0122] The installation process of the ambient light bracket 61 on the middle plate 2011a and the circuit board 40 can be as follows: first, insert the first connecting portion 612 into the slot 81 of the connecting member 80, and then connect the second connecting portion 613 to the middle plate 2011a with the screw K3. This installation method is simple and easy to operate. Figure 4-Figure 8 For the same embodiment as shown, please refer to Figure 10-12 The second surface S2 of the middle plate 2011a is provided with a mounting groove C1, and the circuit board 40 is accommodated in the mounting groove C1, thereby avoiding the thickness overlap between the middle plate 2011a and the circuit board 40, which is conducive to the lightness and thinness of the whole machine. Based on this, please refer to Figure 12 The bottom wall of the mounting groove C1 is provided with a second boss portion N2. The threaded hole C4 is recessed from the top surface of the second boss portion N2 into the second boss portion N2 and into the bottom wall of the mounting groove C1. A clearance notch C6 is provided on the circuit board 40 at a position corresponding to the second boss portion N2. The second boss portion N2 is accommodated in the clearance notch C6. This second boss portion N2 thus restrains the circuit board 40 and prevents it from moving toward the second boss portion N2.

[0123] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 11 and Figure 13 The surface of the second connecting portion 613 facing the external screen 30 is the front face M1, and the surface of the second connecting portion 613 facing away from the external screen 30 is the back face M2. The second connecting portion 613 is provided with a recessed groove C7 that is recessed from the front face M1 to the back face M2. The through hole C5 is recessed from the bottom surface of the recessed groove C7 to the back face M2 and passes through the back face M2. The bottom surface of the recessed groove C7 refers to the surface of the inner surface of the recessed groove C7 that is the farthest from the front face M1 and the shortest from the back face M2. The head of the screw K3 is accommodated in the recessed groove C7. In this way, by accommodating the head of the screw K3 in the recessed groove C7, the thickness of the head and the second connecting portion 613 can be avoided from overlapping, which is conducive to the thinness of the entire device.

[0124] In some embodiments, see Figure 11 , the middle plate portion 2011a is provided with a first card slot A1. The first card slot A1 is located on the side of the second connecting portion 613 that is opposite to the first connecting portion 612, and the opening of the first card slot A1 faces the second connecting portion 613. The ambient light bracket 61 also includes a first clip 614, which extends from the second connecting portion 613 to the first card slot A1 and is clipped into the first card slot A1. In this way, after the first connecting portion 612 is inserted into the slot 81, before the second connecting portion 613 is connected to the middle plate portion 2011a by means of the screw K3, the first card slot A1 and the first clip 614 can be used to cooperate to achieve pre-fixation, so that the through hole C5 is aligned with the threaded hole C4, to prevent the problem of the screw K3 being unable to be inserted due to the misalignment of the through hole C5 and the threaded hole C4 during the installation of the screw K3.

[0125] In some embodiments, see Figure 11 The middle plate portion 2011a is also provided with a second card slot A2. The arrangement direction of the second connection portion 613 and the second card slot A2 intersects with the arrangement direction of the second connection portion 613 and the first connection portion 612. The arrangement direction of the second connection portion 613 and the second card slot A2 refers to the extension direction of the line connecting the geometric center of the orthographic projection of the second connection portion 613 in the XY plane and the geometric center of the orthographic projection of the second card slot A2 in the XY plane. Similarly, the arrangement direction of the second connection portion 613 and the first connection portion 612 refers to the extension direction of the line connecting the geometric center of the orthographic projection of the second connection portion 613 in the XY plane and the geometric center of the orthographic projection of the first connection portion 612 in the XY plane. The opening of the second card slot A2 faces the second connection portion 613. The ambient light bracket 61 also includes a second clip 615, which extends from the second connection portion 613 to the second card slot A2 and is clipped into the second card slot A2. In this way, after the first connecting part 612 is inserted into the slot 81, before the second connecting part 613 is connected to the middle plate part 2011a with the help of the screw K3, in addition to pre-fixing by means of the first card slot A1 and the first clip 614, pre-fixing is also achieved by means of the second card slot A2 and the second clip 615, which can improve the stability of the pre-fixing.

[0126] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 14The second connecting portion 613 includes a first connecting portion 613a and a second connecting portion 613b located on opposite sides of the via C5. The first connecting portion 613a, via C5, and second connecting portion 613b are arranged in a direction substantially perpendicular to the direction of arrangement of the first connecting portion 612, the bracket body 611, and the second connecting portion 613. A first buckle 614 is located on the side of the first connecting portion 613a facing away from the second connecting portion 613b and is connected to the first connecting portion 613a. A second buckle 615 is located on the side of the second connecting portion 613b facing away from the first connecting portion 613a and is connected to the second connecting portion 613b. In this way, the second connection part 613 can be pre-fixed by the side of the first connection part 613a facing away from the second connection part 613b and the side of the second connection part 613b facing away from the first connection part 613a to prevent the second connection part 613 from warping on one side, so that the through hole C5 and the threaded hole C4 can be accurately aligned.

[0127] In some embodiments, see Figure 11 The first and second card slots A1 and A2 can be disposed within the interior of the middle plate portion 2011a, with the openings of the first and second card slots A1 and A2 disposed on the inner side of the mounting groove C1. This structure is simple and well-designed. In other embodiments, two protrusions can be disposed on the surface of the middle plate portion 2011a facing the outer screen 30, with the first and second card slots A1 and A2 disposed within these two protrusions. This application does not impose any specific limitations on this.

[0128] In some embodiments, see Figure 11 , and refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 The bracket body 611 can be located between the adapter plate 52 of the ambient light module 50 and the external screen 30, and the bracket body 611 is located on the peripheral side of the ambient light sensor 51. In other words, the bracket body 611 is located on the side facing the side of the ambient light sensor 51, and the side of the ambient light sensor 51 is arranged around the light-sensitive surface. Optionally, the bracket body 611 can be located within 90°, 180°, 270°, or 360° of the peripheral side of the ambient light sensor 51. In this way, the bracket body 611 can also seal the optical path of the ambient light sensor 51, ensuring the detection accuracy of the ambient light sensor 51.

[0129] In some embodiments, the bracket body 611 may be a non-transparent structure, that is, the light transmittance of the ambient light bracket 61 is less than 5%. In this way, the bracket body 611 has a better light shielding effect and can effectively seal the light path of the ambient light sensor 51.

[0130] In some embodiments, see Figure 11Optionally, the circumference of the ambient light sensor 51 includes a first side and a second side facing each other, and a third side and a fourth side facing each other. The third side and the fourth side are located between the first side and the second side. The proximity light sensor 53 is located on the first side and is spaced apart from the ambient light sensor 51. The bracket body 611 includes a first bracket portion 611a and a second bracket portion 611b and a third bracket portion 611c respectively connected to opposite ends of the first bracket portion 611a. The first bracket portion 611a is arranged on the first side and is located between the ambient light sensor 51 and the proximity light sensor 53. The second bracket portion 611b is arranged on the third side, and the third bracket portion 611c is arranged on the fourth side. The first connecting portion 612 is located on a side of the second bracket portion 611b facing away from the third bracket portion 611c and is fixedly connected to the second bracket portion 611b. The second connecting portion 613 is located on a side of the third bracket portion 611c facing away from the second bracket portion 611b and is fixedly connected to the third bracket portion 611c. An elastic gap is formed between the second bracket portion 611b and the third bracket portion 611c on the second side.

[0131] In this way, with the help of the first bracket part 611a, the second bracket part 611b and the third bracket part 611c, the three sides of the ambient light sensor 51 can be sealed, which can ensure the detection accuracy of the ambient light sensor 51. At the same time, with the help of the elastic notch, the elasticity of the bracket body 611 can be increased, so that the first clip 614 and the second clip 615 can produce a larger deformation relative to the first connecting part 612, which makes it easier to insert into the first card slot A1 and the second card slot A2.

[0132] In some embodiments, see Figure 15 and Figure 16 , Figure 15 for Figure 13 and Figure 14 A perspective view of the ambient light support 61 in the sealing structure 60 is shown, Figure 16 for Figure 15 A perspective view of the metal insert in the ambient light bracket 61 is shown. The second connecting portion 613 includes a first plastic body 6131 and a first metal insert 6132 embedded within the first plastic body 6131. ​​The first bracket portion 611a and the third bracket portion 611c are both plastic structures. The second bracket portion 611b includes a second plastic body 611b1 and a second metal insert 611b2 embedded within the second plastic body 611b1. The first connecting portion 612 is also metal. The first plastic body 6131, the third bracket portion 611c, the first bracket portion 611a, and the second plastic body 611b1 are integrally formed. The second metal insert 611b2 is integrally formed with the first connecting portion 612.

[0133] In this way, the ambient light bracket 61 is composed of a plastic structure and a metal insert. The metal insert is embedded in at least the connecting part of the ambient light bracket (that is, the first connecting part 612 and the second connecting part 613). It can reduce the weight of the ambient light bracket 61 while ensuring the connection strength, which is beneficial to reducing the weight of the entire machine.

[0134] In some embodiments, the first metal insert 6132 , the second metal insert 611b2 , the first connecting portion 612 , the first plastic body 6131 , the third bracket portion 611c , the first bracket portion 611a , and the second plastic body 611b1 may be integrally formed using an integral injection molding process.

[0135] In some embodiments, see Figure 15 , and refer to Figure 11 Along the axial direction of via hole C5, at least a portion of the first metal insert 6132 faces the head of the screw K3. In other words, a plane perpendicular to the axial direction of via hole C5 is defined as a first reference plane. The orthographic projection of at least a portion of the first metal insert 6132 within the first reference plane overlaps with the orthographic projection of the head of the screw K3 within the first reference plane. This improves the connection strength between the second connecting portion 613 and the screw K3 thanks to the first metal insert 6132.

[0136] In some embodiments, please refer back to 13 and Figure 14 , and refer to Figures 9-12 The sealing structure 60 further includes a first elastic soft material 62 and a second elastic soft material 63. The first elastic soft material 62 is disposed between the outer screen 30 and the bracket body 611, and the second elastic soft material 63 is disposed between the bracket body 611 and the adapter plate 52. Under the restraining action of the outer screen 30 and the adapter plate 52, the first elastic soft material 62 and the second elastic soft material 63 can be in a compressed state to seal the light path between the ambient light bracket 61 and the outer screen 30, and between the ambient light bracket 61 and the adapter plate 52.

[0137] The first elastic soft material 62 and the second elastic soft material 63 may be foam, rubber, silicone, etc., and this application does not make any specific limitation on this.

[0138] In some embodiments, see Figure 10 and Figure 12The first limiting bracket 71 may include a camera bracket 711, and the ambient light bracket 61 is spaced apart from the camera bracket 711. Thus, the ambient light bracket 61 and the camera bracket 711 are independently provided, which can reduce the weight of the brackets. The electronic components on the circuit board 40 located between the ambient light bracket 61 and the camera bracket 711 are defined as first electronic components. This can avoid overlapping thickness between the brackets and the first electronic components, thereby facilitating a thinner and lighter electronic device 100.

[0139] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 10 and Figure 12 The first limiting bracket 71 also includes a housing 712 of the speaker module, and the ambient light bracket 61 and the housing 712 are also spaced apart. In this way, the ambient light bracket 61 and the housing 712 are also independently provided, which is conducive to the lightness and thinness of the entire device.
