[0047] All terms used in this application have the same meaning as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application 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.
[0048] 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.
[0049] The electronic device includes a housing 1, which is configured to carry a display screen 200. Of course, in order to meet the needs of customers for taking photos, recording videos, etc., the electronic device is usually also equipped with a camera module 3, which is configured to be installed in the communication slot of the housing 1.
[0050] In one embodiment, the communication slot is configured as a recess 102 on the housing 1 facing the back of the display screen 200, with the opening of the recess 102 facing the display side of the display screen 200, so that the camera module 3 arranged in the recess 102 can face the display side of the display screen 200 to acquire the image in front of the display screen 200.
[0051] Those skilled in the art will understand that, as electronic devices continue to increase their demands for camera functions, in order to meet consumers' needs for higher image quality and richer shooting scenarios, the design of the camera module 3 is undergoing significant changes. The most obvious manifestation of this is the increase in the size of the camera module 3 and the increase in the number of internal components.
[0052] The inventors of this application have discovered that in order to assemble and adapt with the camera module 3, the size of the groove 102 on the housing 1 needs to be designed to be relatively large, resulting in a larger area of the entire electronic device on the display side of the display screen 200, which is not conducive to achieving a high screen ratio for the electronic device.
[0053] Therefore, embodiments of this application provide a communication slot layout structure 100 for an electronic device.
[0054] like Figure 1-9 As shown, the communication slot layout structure 100 of the electronic device provided in this application embodiment includes a housing 1, a camera module 3, and a connector 4. The housing 1 is configured to support a display screen 200, and the display side of the display screen 200 is exposed outside the housing 1. The camera module 3 is arranged in a groove 102 in the housing 1. The groove 102 is located at the first edge 201 of the display screen 200, and at least a portion of the groove 102 is stacked on the back of the display screen 200. The connector 4 connects the camera module 3 and a flexible electrical connector 5 of the electronic device. The connector 4 is arranged in the groove 102 and stacked on the back of the display screen 200.
[0055] The aforementioned arrangement of connectors 4 stacked on the back of the display screen 200 means that connectors 4 are located on the side of the display screen 200 opposite to the display side, and the projection of connectors 4 along the direction perpendicular to the display surface of the display screen 200 is within the projection range of the display screen 200 in that direction. Alternatively, the arrangement of connectors 4 stacked on the back of the display screen 200 means that connectors 4 are located on the side of the display screen 200 opposite to the display side, and most of the projection of connectors 4 along the direction perpendicular to the display surface of the display screen 200 is within the projection range of the display screen 200 in that direction, with only a small portion of the projection protruding beyond the first edge 201 of the display screen 200.
[0056] In the communication slot layout structure 100 provided in this application, the groove 102 is configured to be at least partially stacked on the back of the display screen 200, providing space for the connector 4 to be mounted on the back of the display screen 200 and stacked with the display screen 200. While facilitating the placement of the camera module 3 with increasing volume and number of components in the portion of the groove 102 that extends beyond the display surface of the display screen 200, this avoids making the portion of the groove 102 that extends beyond the display surface of the display screen 200 larger to accommodate larger-sized camera modules 3, thus preventing the electronic device from having an excessively large area on the display side of the display screen 200. This is beneficial for increasing the screen ratio of the electronic device and increasing the effective display area of the electronic device.
[0057] In one embodiment, the first side 1021 of the groove 102 is arranged in a stacked manner on the back of the display screen 200, and the second side 1022 of the groove 102 protrudes from the first edge 201 of the display screen 200, wherein the first side 1021 and the second side 1022 of the groove 102 are opposite sides; the camera module 3 is located in the portion of the groove 102 that protrudes from the first edge 201 of the display screen 200, that is, the camera module 3 is positioned close to the second side 1022 of the groove 102, so that the camera module 3 can extend beyond the first edge 201 of the display screen 200, thereby exposing the camera module 3 to the display side of the display screen 200, facilitating the acquisition of images from the display side of the display screen 200 by the camera module 3. Figure 4 , 6 As shown, the camera module 3 and connector 4 can be arranged one by one along the direction from the second side 1022 to the first side 1021 of the groove 102, so that the camera module 3 and connector 4 are arranged adjacent to each other, so as to minimize the physical distance between the camera module 3 and connector 4 and facilitate the connection between the camera module 3 and connector 4.
[0058] The direction from the second side 1022 of the recess 102 to the first side 1021 is the first direction. The first edge 201 of the display screen 200 can be set along the second direction, and the first direction can be set perpendicular to the second direction, such as... Figure 4 As shown.
[0059] The flexible electrical connector 5 can be configured to connect the camera module 3 to the motherboard of an electronic device via the connector 4.
[0060] Those skilled in the art will understand that the second side 1022 of the groove 102 protrudes beyond the first edge 201 of the display screen 200, presenting an exposed opening. To close the opening of the groove 102, the aforementioned communication slot layout structure 100 may further include a frame piece 103, which is fixed to the housing 1 and the display side of the display screen 200, and at least covers the portion of the groove 102 protruding beyond the first edge 201 of the display screen 200. In some embodiments, the frame piece 103 may also cover the gap between the first edge 201 of the display screen 200 and the housing 1 to achieve better sealing of the entire electronic device, such as... Figure 6 , 7 As shown.
[0061] Those skilled in the art will understand that, in addition to the camera module 3, electronic devices may also be configured with other sensors or electronic components according to usage requirements. These components, limited by their own functional needs, inevitably need to be designed to protrude beyond the edge of the display screen 200. For example, a sensor for detecting ambient light needs to be exposed on the display surface of the display screen 200 to collect ambient light.
[0062] Based on the above, the recess 102 is configured to also assemble other components besides the camera module 3. This layout improves the integration of electronic components and facilitates the connection of each device within the recess 102 to the motherboard of the electronic device using the same flexible electrical connector 5, simplifying the structure of the electronic device and facilitating assembly. Accordingly, the flexible electrical connector 5 can be provided with multiple ends that connect to different components within the recess 102 respectively.
[0063] In one embodiment, a microphone 2 is provided within the groove 102; multiple microphones 2 may be provided and distributed at both ends of the groove 102 along the extension direction (i.e., the second direction) of the first edge 201. Figure 4 , 9 As shown.
[0064] In the prior art, the microphone 2 is usually arranged outside the recess 102, and in order to meet the sound reception requirements, the microphone 2 is generally arranged in the gap between the first edge 201 of the display screen 200 and the housing 1. This results in the aforementioned gap position where the microphone 2 is arranged needing to be designed to be relatively large. That is, the outer edge of the housing 1 at least where the microphone 2 is arranged needs to be set to a relatively large size protruding beyond the first edge 201 of the display screen 200 (i.e., as shown in the figure). Figure 8As shown, L1 needs to be set to a larger size), increasing the total area of the electronic device on the display side of the display screen 200, which is not conducive to improving the screen ratio. However, the implementation scheme of this application is based on the layout structure design of the connector 4 described above, so that the camera module 3 and the connector 4 do not need to be arranged one by one along the second direction in the groove 102. The space of the groove 102 along the second direction is more abundant, which makes it convenient to integrate the microphone 2 into the two ends along the second direction in the groove 102. There is no need to place the microphone 2 outside the groove 102, which significantly reduces the gap between the housing 1 and the first edge 201 of the display screen 200 (i.e., as shown). Figure 9 As shown, the size of L1 is compared to Figure 8 The smaller external layout of the microphone recess 102 makes the total area of the electronic device on the display side of the display screen 200 smaller, which is beneficial to increasing the screen ratio.
[0065] In addition, two microphones can be set; the microphones 2 are arranged at both ends of the groove 102 along the second direction to achieve physical separation, which makes it easier to obtain richer sound field information and improve the sound reception effect.
[0066] The microphone 2 can be positioned on the second side 1022 of the groove 102 so that the microphone 2 communicates with the through hole opened on the second side 1022 of the groove 102 on the housing 1 to receive sound.
[0067] Please refer to the appendix. Figure 2-4 In one embodiment, the housing 1 has a first side 101 at one end along a first direction; the first side 101 includes first side segments 1011 and second side segments 1012 arranged and connected sequentially along the extension direction (i.e., the second direction) of the first edge 201; a groove 102 is arranged in the first side 101 of the housing 1 and located at the second side segment 1012; the dimensions of each part of the first side segment 1011 along the first direction are uniform, eliminating the need to locally set a larger first direction dimension for the placement of the microphone 2. The first side segment 1011 of the first side 101 can be set as two segments and respectively connected to the two ends of the second side segment 1012, so that the camera module 3 can be arranged in the middle position of the first side 101 along the second direction, reducing the distortion caused by the excessively skewed shooting angle of the camera module 3 and improving the shooting effect.
[0068] The first direction can be set to the up-down direction when the electronic device is in normal use, or the left-right direction when the electronic device is in normal use; this embodiment does not limit it.
[0069] A face recognition sensor 7 and an ambient light sensor 8 can also be installed in the recess 102. The face recognition sensor 7 and the ambient light sensor 8 can both be positioned near the second side 1022 of the recess 102, so as to protrude beyond the first edge 201 of the display screen 200, so as to avoid interference from the display screen 200 when the face recognition sensor 7 and the ambient light sensor 8 perform their respective functions.
[0070] Both the face recognition sensor 7 and the ambient light sensor 8 are small in size, making them inconvenient to operate when mounted in the recess 102. In some embodiments, an additional mounting base can be configured, with the face recognition sensor 7 and the ambient light sensor 8 arranged adjacent to each other along the second direction within the recess 102 and both mounted on the mounting base. Before assembling the electronic device, both the face recognition sensor 7 and the ambient light sensor 8 can be pre-assembled onto the mounting base, and then the mounting base can be configured into the recess 102 of the housing 1 during the assembly of the electronic device, improving the ease and efficiency of assembly.
[0071] A shutter 6 is also provided in the groove 102. The shutter 6 is arranged adjacent to the camera module 3, and the arrangement direction can be set to be parallel to the extension direction of the first edge 201 of the display screen 200.
[0072] In one embodiment, a microphone 2, a shutter 6, a camera module 3, a face recognition sensor 7, an ambient light sensor 8, and the microphone 2 are arranged along the second direction within the groove 102. The microphone 2, shutter 6, camera module 3, face recognition sensor 7, and ambient light sensor 8 can be configured to be arranged close to the second side 1022 of the groove 102.
[0073] In the technical solution provided in this embodiment, although multiple components are arranged in the groove 102 along the extension direction (i.e., the second direction) of the first edge 201 of the display screen 200, the connector 4 is not arranged in this direction. Instead, the connector 4 is arranged along the first direction on the side of the camera module 3 and stacked on the back of the display screen 200. This helps to reduce the size of the groove 102 along the second direction, further reduce the area of the electronic device on the display side of the display screen 200, and improve the screen ratio.
[0074] For example, the housing 1 may be configured to include a back plate 12 and an end shell member 11 fixed to the edge of the back plate 12, such as... Figure 6 , 7 As shown. The end housing 11 extends in a direction perpendicular to the back plate 12 and is configured to support the display screen 200. The groove 102 mentioned above may be formed in the end housing 11.
[0075] The flexible electrical connector 5 can be an FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit) or an FFC (Flexible Flat Cable). This embodiment does not limit the type of flexible electrical connector 5. Of course, the flexible electrical connector 5 is not limited to realizing electrical connection function, but can also realize signal connection function as needed.
[0076] The display screen 200 can be an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), an OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) display, or a touch screen. This embodiment does not limit the type of display screen 200.
[0077] The type of connector 44 can be selected according to the actual situation, and this application embodiment does not limit it.
[0078] It should be noted that shutter 6 can be referred to as a physical camera obstructor. Face recognition sensor 7 can be a TOF (Time of Flight) sensor; ambient light sensor 8 can be referred to as an ALS (Ambient Light Sensor). Both face recognition sensor 7 and ambient light sensor 8 can be electrically connected to the flexible electrical connector 5 mentioned above.
