Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this disclosure, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0048] These embodiments are provided to make the disclosure thorough and complete, and to fully express the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement of components and steps, material composition, numerical expressions, and values ​​set forth in these embodiments should be interpreted as exemplary only and not as limiting.

[0049] It should be noted that, in the description of this disclosure, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more; the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating orientation or positional relationship, are only for the convenience of describing this disclosure and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this disclosure. When the absolute position of the described object changes, the relative positional relationship may also change accordingly.

Words such as "including" or "contains" mean that the element preceding the word encompasses the element listed after the word, and do not exclude the possibility of encompassing other elements as well.

[0051] It should also be noted that, in the description of this disclosure, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "connected," and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this disclosure depending on the specific circumstances. When a particular device is described as being located between a first device and a second device, an intermediary device may or may not be present between the particular device and the first or second device.

[0052] All terms used in this disclosure have the same meaning as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure pertains, unless otherwise specifically defined. It should also be understood that terms defined in general dictionaries should be interpreted as having meanings consistent with their meanings in the context of the relevant art, and not as idealized or highly formalized, unless expressly defined herein.

[0053] Techniques, methods, and equipment known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, they should be considered part of the specification. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments in this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0054] The inventors discovered that the frame structure and the light-transmitting components are generally made of different materials, and the frame structure is relatively large while the light-transmitting components are smaller. Multiple openings in the large frame structure, with smaller light-transmitting components installed at each opening, result in low installation accuracy. For example, a robotic arm or assembly worker needs to pick up the smaller light-transmitting components and traverse a long path to install them at different positions on the large frame structure, leading to a longer assembly path and affecting installation accuracy. Furthermore, multiple openings and different light-transmitting components on the frame structure easily increase its visual complexity. When the frame structure is used to mount devices such as displays facing the user, the frame structure, which provides protection or mounting positions for functional components around the display, will also fall into the user's line of sight. Too many openings in the frame structure can attract or distract the user, thus affecting the user experience.

[0055] like Figures 1-6 As shown, this application embodiment provides a frame structure, including a frame 100 and a board assembly 200.

[0056] The frame 100 has a first surface 101 on one side along the first direction X. The frame 100 also has a first region 110 corresponding to at least two first functional components 300, each requiring light transmission along the first direction X. That is, to achieve the function of the first functional component 300, light needs to enter or exit the first functional component 300 along the first direction X. The first functional component 300 can be a camera, a motion capture sensor, or other sensors. Different first functional components 300 can have different functions. The first region 110 satisfies the light transmission requirement of its corresponding first functional component 300 along the first direction X. The first region 110 can be a completely hollowed-out or light-transmitting region, or it can include multiple relatively independent hollowed-out or light-transmitting regions. The first functional component 300 can be located on the side of the frame 100 facing away from the first surface 101.

[0057] The first functional component 300 shown in the attached figure can be the mounting location of the functional component, a simplified component of the functional component, or the projection of the functional component onto the frame 100 along the first direction X. The physical structure of the first functional component 300 is not limited. The first region 110 can be one or more. Any one of the first regions 110 is a single, undivided region, and the projections of at least two first functional components 300 onto the frame 100 are located within the first region 110.

[0058] Wherein, the first direction X can be the thickness direction of the frame 100, and the first surface 101 can be the outer surface of the frame 100. That is, in the normal use state of the electronic device having this frame structure, the first surface 101 can be the surface of the electronic device. In the case of an electronic device having a display screen, the frame structure can be the frame on which the display screen is mounted. When the user is receiving information from the display screen, the first surface 101 can face the user. That is, the first surface 101 is the side of the frame structure facing the user.

[0059] The panel assembly 200 is located on the first surface 101, and its projection along the first direction X covers the projection of the first region 110. The panel assembly 200 has a first panel 210 and at least two second panels 220. The first panel 210 is connected to the frame 100, and the at least two second panels 220 are connected to the first panel 210. That is, the second panels 220 are connected to the frame 100 through the first panel 210, preventing at least two second panels 220 from being individually connected to the frame 100.

[0060] Along the first direction X, the second plate 220 is light-transmitting, and the projection of the second plate 220 does not overlap with the projection of the first plate 210 at least partially. Different second plates 220 are used to correspond to different first functional components 300. Specifically, along the first direction X, the first plate 210 does not obstruct the light transmission requirement of the first functional component 300 along the first direction X; that is, the light transmission path of the first functional component 300 along the first direction X passes through the second plate 220 but not the first plate 210. In other words, along the first direction X, the second plate 220 is located within the light transmission path of the first functional component 300, while the first plate 210 is located outside the light transmission path of the first functional component 300. The second plate 220 is light-transmitting along the first direction X, meaning that light rays can at least partially pass through the second plate 220 along the first direction X.

[0061] During the frame structure assembly process, the panel assembly 200 can be assembled first, allowing the panel assembly 200 to be structurally positioned according to the first area 110 on the frame 100 that needs to correspond to at least two first functional components 300. That is, during frame structure processing, the panel assembly 200 can be assembled first and then installed on the first area 110 of the frame 100, shortening the installation path of a single second panel 220 and easily improving installation accuracy. Furthermore, since the panel assembly 200 is located on the first surface 101, visually, the first panel 210 and at least two second panels 220 form a unified structure. With the first surface 101 being the side of the frame structure facing the user, the user can perceive the panel assembly 200 as a whole or a near-whole structure, avoiding overly complex structures that attract or distract the user's attention, thereby improving the user experience. Moreover, this makes the overall design of the frame structure more aesthetically pleasing and rational.

[0062] The frame 100 can be made of a high-strength material, such as metal or composite material, to meet the strength requirements of the frame structure. The second plate 220 of the panel assembly 200 can be made of a material with light transmittance or good light transmittance, such as glass or resin (e.g., acrylic). The first plate 210 can also be made of the same or similar raw materials as the second plate 220 to improve the overall visual effect of the panel assembly 200. For example, both the first plate 210 and the second plate 220 of the panel assembly 200 can be made of acrylic sheets, and the light transmittance of the acrylic sheets used to make the first plate 210 and the second plate 220 can be the same or different. The first plate 210 can be treated to be opaque, such as by blackening (adding an opaque coating) or applying a shielding layer.

[0063] like Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the first region 110 has at least two first openings 111 corresponding to different first functional components 300; along the first direction X, the first plate 210 has at least two second openings 201, different second openings 201 corresponding to different first openings 111, and different second plates 220 are mounted on different second openings 201. That is, multiple opening structures need to be provided in the first region 110, with a solid portion of a frame 100 between two adjacent opening structures to improve the strength of the frame 100. The structure of the first opening 111 can be the same as the structure of its corresponding second opening 201. That is, if the second opening 201 is a circular hole, the corresponding first opening 111 is also a circular hole; if the second opening 201 is a square hole, the corresponding first opening 111 is also a square hole. Alternatively, for ease of processing, the first opening portion 111 can be configured as an opening of other structures, such as a square hole, while the second opening portion 201 can be a square hole or a circular hole. Along the first direction X, the projection of the second opening portion 201 lies within the projection of the first opening portion 111.

[0064] like Figure 12 As shown, in some other embodiments, the first region 110 has a third opening 113 for corresponding to at least two first functional components 300; that is, the third opening 113 can serve as a mounting hole corresponding to the entire board assembly 200, so that the edge of the board assembly 200 is connected to the third opening 113.

[0065] Along the first direction X, the first plate 210 has at least two second opening portions 201, the at least two second opening portions 201 correspond to the same third opening portion 113, and different second plates 220 are mounted on different second opening portions 201.

[0066] The third opening 113 can be a stepped opening, with the stepped surface facing the same direction as the first surface 101. This allows the board assembly 200 to be at least partially embedded in the third opening 113, and the stepped surface and the side of the board assembly 200 facing away from the first surface 101 (bottom surface) can be connected by double-sided tape 500 or other adhesives.

[0067] The first region 110 of the frame 100 is also provided with a fourth opening 112, which corresponds to the non-opening region of the first plate 210, so as to correspond with the second functional component 400. The second functional component 400 shown in the attached figure can be the mounting location of the functional component, a simplified component of the functional component, or the projection of the functional component along the first direction X towards the frame 100; the physical structure of the second functional component 400 is not limited.

[0068] Furthermore, the same first opening portion 111 can have an area corresponding to the second opening portion 201 and an area corresponding to the non-opening area of ​​the first plate 210, so that the same first opening portion 111 can correspond to the first functional component 300 and the second functional component 400. The second functional component 400 may not need to have light transmission requirements along the first direction X. In electronic devices, other conditions that meet the non-light transmission requirements can be met by placing the second functional component 400 at this position. It can be a wireless communication component (such as a Bluetooth module or a cellular network module), an electromagnetic wave transmission component such as an antenna, or a radar sensor, etc. By having the second functional component 400 correspond to the fourth opening portion 112, the metal frame 100 is prevented from affecting the function of the second functional component 400.

[0069] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the first plate 210 has a second surface 211 on one side along the first direction X. The second surface 211 is the side of the plate assembly 200 facing away from the first functional component 300, and the second surface 211 and the first surface 101 are coplanar. The coplanarity of the second surface 211 and the first surface 101 can mean that the second surface 211 and the first surface 101 are coplanar or approximately coplanar. This arrangement improves the overall flatness of the appearance surface of the frame structure (including the first surface 101), facilitating user cleaning and maintenance.

[0070] The second plate 220 can also have a third surface 221 on one side along the first direction X. This third surface 221 is the side of the plate assembly 200 facing away from the first functional component 300, and it is coplanar with the first surface 101. Similarly, the third surface 221 and the first surface 101 can be made coplanar or approximately coplanar. These arrangements improve the overall flatness of the frame structure's appearance (including the first surface 101), facilitating cleaning and maintenance by the user.

[0071] This allows the first surface 101, the second surface 211, and the third surface 221 to satisfy the coplanar condition. That is, the appearance surfaces of the frame structure (including the first surface 101) are a single plane.

[0072] To facilitate installation, the side of the frame structure facing away from its exterior can also be a flat surface (plane). The frame 100 has a fourth surface 102 that is opposite to the first surface 101, that is, the first surface 101 and the fourth surface 102 are two surfaces of the frame 100 arranged along the first direction X.

[0073] The second plate 220 has a fifth surface 222 opposite to the third surface 221, that is, the third surface 221 and the fifth surface 222 are two surfaces of the second plate 220 arranged along the first direction X. The fourth surface 102 and the fifth surface 222 satisfy the coplanarity condition. It is possible to make the fourth surface 102 and the fifth surface 222 coplanar or approximately coplanar.

[0074] In some embodiments, at least two of the second plates 220 have different light transmittance parameters along the first direction X. Figure 9 Taking two second plates 220 as an example, the first second plate 220 is a circular plate (its projection surface along the first direction X is circular), and the second second plate 220 is a square plate (its projection surface along the first direction X is square). The first second plate 220 can have a light transmittance greater than or equal to 90% to meet the needs of the camera capturing images. The second second plate 220 has a light transmittance greater than or equal to 50% to meet the needs of the sensor capturing light containing information such as user movement. The light transmittance of different second plates 220 can also be other values, such as 30%, 80%, 99%, etc. Light transmittance is the percentage of light flux after passing through the material relative to the incident light flux. Light transmittance parameters can also include haze, clarity, etc. The light transmittance parameters of the second plate 220 need to meet the light requirements of its corresponding first functional component 300.

[0075] It can also make different second plates 220 have different refractive index, gloss, reflectance and other light parameters.

[0076] In embodiments where the number of second plates 220 is greater than or equal to three, some of the second plates 220 may have the same light transmission parameters, while the remaining second plates 220 may have different light transmission parameters.

[0077] Of course, the light transmission parameters of the second plate 220 can also be the same, and its light transmission parameters meet the highest light transmission requirements among the multiple first functional components 300.

[0078] This also allows for different structures in different second plates 220. For example... Figure 9As shown, the first second plate 220 is a circular plate, and the second second plate 220 is a square plate. The structure of the second plate 220 can be adjusted according to the requirements of the corresponding first functional component 300.

[0079] Along the first direction X, the first plate 210 is opaque or the light transmittance of the first plate 210 is lower than that of the second plate 220.

[0080] In some embodiments, the first plate 210 can be made opaque to block the second functional component 400 corresponding to the frame structure. Alternatively, the light transmittance of the first plate 210 can be lower than that of the second plate 220, so that when the first plate 210 corresponds to the second functional component 400, it can partially block the visual effect of the second functional component 400, while also allowing the second functional component 400 to have the requirement of light transmission along the first direction X.

[0081] The border 100 has a second region 120, and the projection of the second region 120 is located on the outer periphery of the projection of the first region 110 along the first direction X.

[0082] like Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the portion of the first plate 210 that is not connected to the second plate 220 can be covered with double-sided tape 500 or other adhesive to facilitate connection (bonding) with the first area 110 of the frame 100.

[0083] For ease of installation, the first region 110 has a recessed portion, and the plate assembly 200 is at least partially embedded in the recessed portion, and the plate assembly 200 is connected to the bottom surface 103 of the recessed portion. The first plate 210 of the plate assembly 200 can be connected to the bottom surface 103 of the recessed portion using double-sided adhesive 500 or other adhesive. The first plate 210 and the second plate 220 can also be bonded together using double-sided adhesive 500 or other adhesive. The sixth surface 212 of the first plate 210, facing away from the second surface 211, can be bonded to the solid portion of the bottom surface 103 using double-sided adhesive 500 or other adhesive. The second surface 211 and the sixth surface 212 can be two surfaces of the first plate 210 arranged along a first direction X.

[0084] like Figure 7 As shown, the bottom surface 103 of the groove may have multiple first openings 111 and fourth openings, and the solid part of the bottom surface 103 of the groove is bonded to the second plate 220 by double-sided tape or other adhesive.

[0085] The second region 120 has a fourth opening 121 corresponding to a second functional component, the fourth opening 121 penetrating the frame 100 along a first direction X, and the second functional component having an exposure requirement along the first direction X. Wherein, for example... Figure 2As shown, the second plate 220 can be a stepped structure, that is, along the first direction X, the projection of the third surface 221 is located in the middle of the fifth surface 222, and the fifth surface 222 has an edge portion that is not obscured by the projection of the third surface 221. The stepped surface of the second plate 220 can be bonded to the side of the first plate 210 facing away from the second surface 211 using double-sided tape 500 or other adhesive. The fourth opening 121 can be used to connect other functional components in the electronic device that require a corresponding frame structure, such as a speaker serving as a sound receiving / playing component, to meet the usage requirements of that functional component.

[0086] This application also provides an electronic device, including at least two first functional components 300 and a frame structure. The first functional components 300 have a light-transmitting requirement along a first direction X. The first direction X can be the thickness direction of the frame 100. In embodiments where the electronic device has a display screen, the frame structure can be a mounting frame for the display screen. By connecting the frame structure to the housing of the electronic device, a space for mounting the first functional components 300 is formed between the frame structure and the housing of the electronic device.

[0087] The frame structure includes frame 100 and board assembly 200.

[0088] The frame 100 has a first surface 101 on one side along the first direction X, and the frame 100 has a first region 110 corresponding to at least two first functional components 300. That is, along the first direction X, the projection of the first region 110 blocks the projection of at least two first functional components 300. Each first functional component 300 has a light-transmitting requirement along the first direction X. That is, in order to realize the function of the first functional component 300, light needs to enter or exit the first functional component 300 along the first direction X. The first functional component 300 can be a camera, a motion capture sensor, or other sensors, etc. Different first functional components 300 can have different functions.

[0089] The first functional component 300 shown in the attached figure can be the mounting location of the functional component, a simplified component of the functional component, or the projection of the functional component onto the frame 100 along the first direction X. The physical structure of the first functional component 300 is not limited. The first region 110 can be one or more. Any one of the first regions 110 is a single, undivided region, and the projections of at least two first functional components 300 onto the frame 100 are located within the first region 110.

[0090] Wherein, the first direction X can be the thickness direction of the frame 100, and the first surface 101 can be the outer surface of the frame 100. That is, in the normal use state of the electronic device having this frame structure, the first surface 101 can be the surface of the electronic device. In the case of an electronic device having a display screen, the frame structure can be the frame on which the display screen is mounted. When the user is receiving information from the display screen, the first surface 101 can face the user. That is, the first surface 101 is the side of the frame structure facing the user.

[0091] The panel assembly 200 is located on the first surface 101, and its projection along the first direction X covers the projection of the first region 110. The panel assembly 200 has a first panel 210 and at least two second panels 220. The first panel 210 is connected to the frame 100, and the at least two second panels 220 are connected to the first panel 210. That is, the second panels 220 are connected to the frame 100 through the first panel 210, preventing at least two second panels 220 from being individually connected to the frame 100.

[0092] Along the first direction X, the second plate 220 is light-transmitting, and the projection of the second plate 220 does not overlap with the projection of the first plate 210 at least partially. Different second plates 220 are used to correspond to different first functional components 300. Specifically, along the first direction X, the first plate 210 does not obstruct the light transmission requirement of the first functional component 300 along the first direction X; that is, the light transmission path of the first functional component 300 along the first direction X passes through the second plate 220 but not the first plate 210. In other words, along the first direction X, the second plate 220 is located within the light transmission path of the first functional component 300, while the first plate 210 is located outside the light transmission path of the first functional component 300.

[0093] During the frame structure assembly process, the board assembly 200 can be assembled first, so that the board assembly 200 is structurally set according to the first area 110 on the frame 100 that needs to correspond to at least two first functional components 300. That is, during the frame structure processing, the board assembly 200 can be assembled first and then installed on the first area 110 of the frame 100, shortening the installation path of a single second board 220 and improving installation accuracy. Furthermore, since the board assembly 200 is located on the first surface 101, visually the first board 210 and at least two second boards 220 form a unified structure. When the user uses the electronic device, the first surface 101 can be the side of the frame structure facing the user, allowing the user to perceive the board assembly 200 as a whole or a near-whole structure, avoiding overly complex structures that attract or distract the user's attention, thereby improving the user experience. Moreover, the overall planning of the frame structure can be made more aesthetically pleasing and rational.

[0094] The frame structure provided in this application embodiment may include a frame 100 and a panel assembly 200. The frame 100 has a first surface 101 along one side of the first direction X, and a first region 110. The panel assembly 200 is located on the first surface 101, and along the first direction X, the projection of the panel assembly 200 covers the projection of the first region 110. The panel assembly 200 has a first panel 210 and at least two second panels 220. The first panel 210 is connected to the frame 100, and the at least two second panels 220 are connected to the first panel 210. Along the first direction X, the second panels 220 are light-transmitting, and the projection of the second panels 220 does not at least partially overlap with the projection of the first panel 210. Through this arrangement, at least two second panels 220 can correspond to different first functional components 300, so that light received or emitted by the first functional component 300 along the first direction X can at least partially pass through the second panels 220, i.e., without affecting the functionality of the first functional component 300.
