[0037] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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.

[0038] 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.

[0039] 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.

[0040] Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and similar terms used in this disclosure do not indicate any order, quantity, or importance, but are merely used to distinguish different parts. "Vertical" is not strictly vertical, but within the permissible margin of error. "Parallel" is not strictly parallel, but within the permissible margin of error. Terms 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.

[0041] 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.

[0042] 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.

[0043] 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.

[0044] The applicant's research revealed that in current technology, camera modules are only bonded to the device body using an adhesive process. The bonding area between the camera module and the device body is relatively small, and the adhesive strength between them is also relatively weak. Furthermore, because the camera module and other electronic components in the electronic device release heat during use, the adhesive between the camera module and the device body is prone to aging due to the heat, resulting in a decrease in the adhesive strength between them. When the device body is subjected to impact forces such as collisions or drops, the camera module is prone to detaching from the device body, affecting the user experience.

[0045] Therefore, the main objective of this application is to improve the reliability of the connection between the camera module and the electronic device, thereby enhancing the quality of the electronic device and the user experience.

[0046] This application provides an electronic device, which includes a device body and a camera module. The device body primarily provides a mounting base and protection for the camera module and other electronic components on the device. The electronic device can be a mobile phone, laptop, tablet, etc., and the structure of the device body varies depending on the type of electronic device. For example, when the electronic device is a mobile phone, the device body can be a mid-frame; when the electronic device is a laptop, the device body can be a shell on the display side or a shell on the keyboard side. This article will continue to introduce the technical solution and technical effects using a laptop as an example.

[0047] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an electronic device provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, taking a laptop computer as an example, in this embodiment of the application, the device body 100 may include a first body 110 and a second body 120. One of the first body 110 and the second body 120 may be the display side shell of the laptop computer, and the other may be the keyboard side shell of the laptop computer. Figure 1 As shown, the first body 110 is the housing on the display side of the laptop, and a display screen 500 is mounted on the first body 110. The second body 120 is the housing on the keyboard side, and a keyboard 600 is mounted on the second body 120. The first body 110 and the second body 120 are rotatably connected by a hinge mechanism, so that the first body 110 and the second body 120 can be folded and unfolded relative to each other. The relative unfolding angle range of the first body 110 and the second body 120 can be from 0 to 360°. For example, in one example, the first body 110 can rotate relative to the second body 120 between 0° and 180° (inclusive) via the hinge mechanism. For the specific structure of the hinge mechanism, please refer to the current art; it will not be described in detail here.

[0049] In this embodiment, the camera module 200 can be installed on the first main body 110 or the second main body 120. Of course, the camera module 200 can also be simultaneously installed on both the first main body 110 and the second main body 120. The camera module 200 can be one or more of the following: a standard camera module 200, a telephoto camera module 200, a wide-angle camera module 200, a super telephoto camera module 200, and an ultra-wide-angle camera module 200. The specific structure and installation position of the camera module 200 are reasonably determined according to the specific product. The accompanying drawings of this application show an example of a camera module 200 installed on the first main body 110, with a light-entry hole 501 provided on the screen 500 relative to the camera position of the camera module 200.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2A perspective view of the camera module 200 provided in an embodiment of this application, showing only a portion of the structure of the protective shell 30A. Figure 2 The image only schematically illustrates some of the components included in the camera module 200; the actual shape, size, location, and construction of these components are not subject to change. Figure 2 As well as the limitations of the accompanying figures below.

[0051] To clearly and concisely describe the technical solution, an XYZ coordinate system is established. Please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 It is understood that the light-receiving axis S direction of the camera module 200 is the Z-axis direction. The XY plane formed by the X-axis and Y-axis directions is perpendicular to the light-receiving axis S direction. In some embodiments, after the camera module 200 is assembled into the electronic device 1000, the light-receiving axis S direction of the camera module 200 can be parallel to the thickness direction of the first body 110 (in conjunction with...). Figure 1 and Figure 2 (Understanding). The plane formed by the width and length directions of electronic device 1000 is parallel to the XY plane.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 2 The camera module 200 includes a lens assembly 210, an image sensor assembly 220, and a circuit board. Figure 2 (Not shown in the image), the three components can be integrated inside the same protective housing 230. The lens assembly 210, image sensor assembly 220, and circuit board can be arranged sequentially along the light path propagation direction. That is, the lens assembly 210 is located on the light-inlet side of the image sensor assembly 220. External light enters the lens assembly 210 through the light-transmitting hole of the protective housing. After the light exits from the lens assembly 210, it enters the image sensor. The image sensor assembly 220 converts the light signal into an electrical signal, realizing the imaging of the camera module 200. The image sensor assembly 220 is mounted on the circuit board, and the signal from the image sensor assembly 220 is transmitted to the main board of the electronic device 1000 via the circuit board.

[0053] Please continue to refer to Figure 2 As shown, the lens assembly 210 may include a lens barrel and multiple lenses. The lens barrel serves as the basic support structure of the lens assembly 210, and the lenses are disposed inside the lens barrel. The lenses may be spaced apart along the axial direction of the lens barrel. Each lens may include a convex lens and a concave lens. Figure 2 Although the shapes of the lenses are not illustrated, this does not impede the understanding of those skilled in the art regarding the lens assembly 210 described in this application. Each lens is used to focus and correct the light incident on the lens assembly 210 to achieve the imaging function of the lens assembly 210. In addition, some of the lenses can move along the optical axis of the lens assembly 210 to magnify and reduce the target being photographed, thereby achieving the optical zoom function of the camera module 200.

[0054] Of course, the structure of the lens assembly 210 is not limited to that described above, and can also be in other forms, such as an arrangement in which the optical axes of two lenses are perpendicular to each other.

[0055] In some embodiments, the lens assembly 210 or the image sensor assembly 220 may also be equipped with a driving device ( Figure 2 (Not shown in the image) The driving device is used to drive the lens assembly 210 or the image sensor assembly 220 to move. For example, the driving device drives the lens assembly 210 or the image sensor to translate along its own plane or rotate around the optical axis of the lens assembly 210 to compensate for the displacement caused by the user's hand tremors, prevent the captured image from becoming blurry, improve the image clarity, and realize the optical image stabilization function of the camera module 200.

[0056] Please combine Figures 3 to 5 , Figures 7 to 9 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 In this embodiment, the device body 100 has a mounting groove 101, and the camera module 200 is at least partially located inside the mounting groove 101. The camera module 200 is connected to a mounting surface 100A within the mounting groove 101. The camera module 200 can be connected by adhesive, snap-fit, or other connection methods that are susceptible to detachment due to heat. In one example, the mounting groove 101 may include a groove sidewall and a groove bottom wall 1011, with the bottom wall 1011 connected between the two groove sidewalls, which are a first groove sidewall 1012 and a second groove sidewall 1013. The two groove sidewalls extend approximately along the Z-direction. The mounting groove 101 also includes a slot opposite to the groove bottom wall 1011, through which the camera module 200 can be inserted into the mounting groove 101. The mounting surface 100A can be directly disposed on the groove bottom wall 1011 or disposed on a support member 700 fixed to the groove bottom wall 1011. The support member 700 can be fixed inside the mounting slot 101 by means of adhesive bonding or other methods. The specific location of the mounting surface 100A can be reasonably selected according to the specific design of the electronic device 1000. The attached figure shows an example in which the support member 700 is set inside the mounting slot 101, and the camera module 200 is bonded to the support member 700.

[0057] In this embodiment, the electronic device 1000 further includes a limiting member 300, which includes a main body portion 310 and a first limiting portion 320. The first limiting portion 320 and the main body portion 310 are connected and can be an integral structure, for example, integrally formed by injection molding. Of course, the first limiting portion 320 and the main body portion 310 can also be processed separately and then formed into one piece by bonding or welding, which simplifies the processing of the first limiting portion 320 and the main body portion 310.

[0058] In this embodiment, the main body 310 is connected to the device body 100. The two can be fixedly connected, for example, by welding. Alternatively, the main body 310 can be detachably connected to the device body 100, for example, by screws or snap-fit ​​connections. Or, the main body 310 can be an integral part of the device body 100. The connection method between the main body 310 and the device body 100 is not limited to those described herein. The first limiting part 320 is located on the side of the camera module 200 away from the mounting surface 100A to limit the maximum movement of the camera module 200 towards the side away from the mounting surface 100A. Therefore, when the connection between the camera module 200 and the mounting surface 100A fails, the camera module 200 can be limited between the mounting surface 100 and the first limiting part 320. In other words, the first limiting part 320 serves to limit the camera module 200 from dislodging from the mounting groove 101 along the thickness direction (Z direction) of the device body 100.

[0059] Compared with the prior art where the camera module 200 is only connected to the device body 100 by adhesive bonding, the electronic device 1000 in this embodiment of the application is provided with a limiting member 300. The main body 310 of the limiting member 300 is connected to the device body 100, and the first limiting member 320 is located on the side of the camera module 200 away from the mounting surface 100A. Even if the connection between the camera module 200 and the mounting surface 100A fails, the camera module 200 will be restricted between the first limiting member 320 and the mounting surface 100A. That is, under the action of the first limiting member 320, the maximum displacement of the camera module 200 in the direction away from the mounting surface 100A can also be restricted, so that the camera module can basically not detach from the mounting surface 100A. This can improve the stability of the camera module 200 in the mounting groove 101.

[0060] In one specific embodiment, the main body 310 includes a first segment 311, which is arranged side-by-side with the camera module 200 along a first direction, wherein the first direction is perpendicular to the length direction of the camera module 200, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the length direction of the camera module 200 is x, and the first direction is y. The main body 310 can be fixed to the device body 100 at both ends of the first section 311, or it can be fixed on the side of the first section 311 away from the camera module 200 along the first direction. The first section 311 can be a plate structure, which reduces its thickness in the first direction and helps to reduce the size of the electronic device 1000 along the first direction.

[0061] In this application, one end of the first limiting part 320 is connected to the first section 311, and the other end extends to the side of the camera module 200 away from the mounting surface 100A. The number of first limiting parts 320 can be one, two, or more than three. The position of the first limiting part 320 on the first section 311 can be determined according to the specific shape of the camera module 200. In this embodiment, the first section 311 is located on one side of the camera module 200, and only the first limiting part 320 is partially located above the camera module 200. This minimizes the space occupied above the camera module 200 without affecting the connection strength of the device body 100, thus avoiding interference with the normal operation of the camera module 200. It also helps to reduce the height of the device body 100 along the Z-direction. The first limiting part 320 can be a plate extending from the first section 311 towards the camera module 200, which minimizes the space occupied by the first limiting part 320 in the Z-direction, facilitating the ultra-thin design requirements of the electronic device 1000.

[0062] Please combine Figure 5 and Figure 6 Understood, in this embodiment, the main body 310 further includes a fixing section 312 connected to both ends of the first section 311. The fixing section 312 is provided with a structure for fixed connection with the device body 100. This structure can be a through hole 3121, facilitating the passage of screws 400, pins, or snap-fit ​​components through the device body 100. Please refer to... Figure 6 It is understood that the bottom wall 1011 of the mounting groove 101 is provided with screw holes 104, and the threaded section of the screw 400 passes through the through hole 3121 on the fixing section 312 and connects to the interior of the screw hole 104. In one example, the bottom wall 1011 of the groove has a wall portion parallel to the XY plane, and this wall portion is provided with screw holes 104. In this embodiment of the application, both the first section 311 and the fixing section 312 are plate structures. The plate surface of the first section 311 is perpendicular to the first direction and perpendicular to the XY plane. The plate surface of the fixing section 312 is parallel to the first direction, that is, approximately parallel to the XY plane. In other words, the plate surface of the first section 311 and the plate surface of the fixing section 312 are approximately perpendicular to each other. The plate surface of the fixing section 312 is approximately parallel to the first direction, so when the fasteners (such as the screws, pins, or snap-fits, etc.) connected to the equipment body 100 are installed, they are inserted and connected to the equipment body 100 along the Z direction, which makes installation more convenient. Furthermore, the plate surface of the fixed section 312 is parallel to the first direction, which can reduce the occupation of space in the Z direction and help reduce the overall thickness of the electronic device 1000.

[0063] Please combine Figures 7 to 9As described above, in one specific embodiment, the electronic device 1000 further includes a support member 700, which is fixed to the bottom wall 1011 of the mounting groove 101. The mounting surface 100A is the surface of the support member 700 facing away from the bottom wall 1011. A first rib is provided on the support member 700, and a first section 311 is located between the first rib and the camera module 200. The two side plates of the first section 311 arranged along the first direction can respectively abut against the first rib and the camera module 200. For the sake of brevity in describing the technical solution, the first rib provided on the support member 700 is defined as rib B701 in this embodiment. In this way, the first section 311, the first rib, and the camera module 200 are arranged compactly along the first direction, occupying relatively little space, which is beneficial to reducing the size of the electronic device 1000 along the first direction. At the same time, the first section 311 can also be firmly positioned between the first rib and the camera module 200, resulting in high installation stability. Of course, there can be a gap between one side of the first section 311 and the first rib, and there can also be a gap between the other side of the first section 311 and the camera module 200. This allows for gap assembly of the first section 311, the first rib, and the camera module 200, which facilitates assembly.

[0064] To enhance the strength of the support member 700, the support member 700 may also be provided with a bent edge 702, which extends along the length of the camera module 200 and is located on the side of the support member 700 away from the camera module 200. The first protruding rib may be connected to the bent edge 702.

[0065] In another embodiment, a first rib is provided on the side wall of the mounting groove 101. This application defines the first rib provided on the mounting groove 101 as rib A1014. The first section 311 is limited between the first rib and the camera module 200. In this embodiment, the first rib is directly formed on the inner wall of the mounting groove 101 and can be integrally formed with the device body 100. This can satisfy the limitation of the first section 311 by the electronic device 1000 without the support member 700 in the mounting groove 101. Of course, for the electronic device 1000 with the support member 700 inside the mounting groove 101, this embodiment does not require adding a structure to the support member 700 to limit the first section 311, reducing the processing difficulty of the support member 700.

[0066] In this embodiment, the first limiting part 320 can abut against the camera module 200. The two can abut directly, or indirectly. For example, an elastic component such as a rubber pad or silicone pad can be provided between the first limiting part 320 and the camera module 200, allowing the first limiting part 320 to abut against the camera module 200 via this elastic component. Whether the first limiting part 320 abuts directly or indirectly against the camera module 200, the first limiting part 320 applies a force to the mounting surface 100A, which helps improve the stability of the camera module 200.

[0067] Of course, considering factors such as installation and processing errors, there can be a predetermined gap between the camera module 200 and the first limiting part 320. This can prevent the first limiting part 320 from applying excessive resistance to the camera module 200 after the limiting part 300 is installed, which could damage or affect the normal operation of the camera module 200 and help protect the camera module 200.

[0068] In the above embodiments, one of the device body 100 and the camera module 200 is provided with a positioning protrusion, and the other is provided with a positioning hole. The positioning protrusion and the positioning hole are interlocked to define the installation position of the camera module 200 in the mounting groove 101. In one example, the device body 100 may be provided with a positioning protrusion 102, and the camera module 200 may be provided with a positioning hole 201. The number of sets of positioning protrusions 102 and positioning holes 201 is not limited to one set; there may be two or more sets, which can define the camera module 200 in the X and Y directions. Of course, in another example, the device body 100 may be provided with a positioning hole, and the camera module 200 may be provided with a positioning protrusion.

[0069] When the camera module 200 is installed on the main body 100 of the device, the positioning protrusion 102 and the positioning hole 201 are inserted and matched, which can accurately position the installation position of the camera module 200 and improve the installation efficiency.

[0070] The positioning protrusion 102 and the positioning hole 201 can have various structures. The attached figure shows a specific form where the positioning protrusion 102 is a positioning post and the positioning hole 201 is a through hole. For example, in other embodiments, the positioning hole 201 can be a groove, or in some embodiments, the positioning protrusion 102 can be a spherical protrusion.

[0071] Please combine Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7It is understood that in the above embodiments, the electronic device 1000 further includes a sound-generating component 800, and the wall of the mounting groove 101 is also provided with a sound outlet channel 105 for transmitting the sound generated by the sound-generating component to the outside of the electronic device. Typically, the sound outlet channel 105 is located on the side wall of the mounting groove 101; however, in some other embodiments, the sound outlet channel 105 may also be located on the bottom wall 1011 of the mounting groove 101. The limiting member 300 also includes an extension 330, one end of which is connected to the main body 310, and the other end abuts against the side of the sound-generating component 800 opposite to the sound outlet hole. In this way, the extension body 330 can support the sound-generating component 800, which helps to improve the reliability of the sound-generating component 800. Of course, under the abutting force of the extension body 330, the sound-emitting side of the sound-generating component 800 can also be tightly abutted against the groove wall of the mounting groove 101, improving the sealing between the sound-generating component and the groove wall of the mounting groove 101, which helps the sound to be transmitted from the sound outlet channel 105 to the outside of the electronic device 1000 as much as possible, thus improving the sound quality of the electronic device 1000.

[0072] Please refer to this again. Figure 6 In one example, the extension 330 can extend along a first direction. The extension 330 can be an elastic element, and it elastically abuts against the sound-generating assembly 800. The extension 330 may include a bent section, which deforms along the compression direction when the extension 330 is compressed. The extension 330 is an elastic element capable of elastic deformation, avoiding rigid contact with the sound-generating assembly 800 and thus protecting the sound-generating assembly 800.

[0073] Please combine Figure 6 and Figure 10 Understandably, in one example, the extension 330 may include an abutment surface at the end away from the main body 310 and at least one limiting body 340 extending from the abutment surface toward the sound-generating assembly 800. The limiting body 340 is at least partially located on the side of the sound-generating assembly 800 away from the bottom wall 1011 of the mounting groove 101, so as to limit the position of the sound-generating assembly 800 in the Z direction, which is beneficial to improving the installation stability of the sound-generating assembly 800.

[0074] Please combine Figure 4 and Figure 11 It is understood that, in order to improve the strength of the extension body 330 against the sound-generating component 800, the second groove sidewall 1013 of the mounting groove 101 is also provided with a rib A1014. The rib A1014 is located on the side of the first section 311 away from the extension body 330. The rib A here can support the position of the extension body 330 in the first section 311.

[0075] Please see Figure 12Considering the installation requirements of other components in electronic devices, the bottom wall 1011 of the mounting slot 101 may not be a plane. The slot depth along the z-direction where the camera module 200 is located may be greater than the slot depth where the sound-generating component 800 is located. Therefore, the limiting component 300 may need to be equipped with an avoidance structure.

[0076] In one specific embodiment, the mounting groove 101 may have a protrusion 103 located between the camera module 200 and the sound-generating assembly 800. The protrusion 103 has a recess 1031, and a limiting member 300 is partially located inside the recess 1031. Specifically, a first section 311 is partially located inside the recess 1031. Of course, the limiting member 300 may also have a clearance notch 313 to avoid the protrusion 103.

[0077] Appendix Figure 6 As shown, two sound-generating components 800 are disposed inside the mounting slot 101. The two sound-generating components 800 are respectively located on both sides of the camera module 200 along its length direction. A protrusion 103 is provided between one of the two sound-generating components 800 and the camera module 200. A recess 1031 is provided on the protrusion 103, and a limiting member 300 is partially located inside the recess 1031.

[0078] The limiting member 300 in the above embodiments can be a plastic part, or of course, a metal part.

[0079] In this embodiment of the application, the display screen 500 of the electronic device 1000 covers the slot of the mounting groove 101, and the display screen 500 is provided with a light-entry hole so that external light can enter the camera of the camera module 200.

[0080] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, with each embodiment focusing on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referred to each other.

[0081] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use this application. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of this application. Therefore, this application is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
