[0016] The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of this disclosure may include the following beneficial effects: By reserving a first gap between the first housing and the second housing, the sound signal can be transmitted to the receiving component through the first gap and the receiving channel, thereby realizing that the appearance surface of the housing component has no receiving hole, which is conducive to the hole-free design of the housing component. Furthermore, since the appearance surface of the housing component can be composed entirely of the first housing and the second housing, the number of components of the appearance surface of the housing component is reduced, which can improve the uniformity of the appearance of the electronic device and thus improve the aesthetics of the electronic device.

[0017] It should be understood that the above general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only, and are not intended to limit this disclosure. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and form a part of this specification, illustrate embodiments consistent with this disclosure and, together with the description, serve to explain the principles of this disclosure.

[0019] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a housing assembly for concealing a battery cover, according to an exemplary embodiment.

[0020] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a housing assembly for concealing a battery cover, according to an exemplary embodiment.

[0021] Figure 3 It is along Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the cross-section of the housing assembly generated by the central section line A.

[0022] Figure 4 It is along Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the cross-section of the housing assembly generated by the central section line B. Detailed Implementation

[0023] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numerals in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0024] In related technologies, common structures of electronic devices include screen components, frame components, and battery cover components. The screen components and battery cover components are respectively disposed on two opposite sides of the frame component. The side surface of the frame component can be exposed to the exterior surface of the electronic device. The microphone's sound pickup channel can be exposed to the outside world through the side surface of the frame component and perform sound pickup.

[0025] However, when the overall form of the device was modified so that the screen assembly and battery cover assembly were enclosed within the frame assembly, the microphone's sound pickup channel was sealed inside the device, making it impossible for the microphone to pick up sound properly.

[0026] To address the aforementioned technical problems, an embodiment of this disclosure provides a housing assembly and an electronic device. The housing assembly includes: a frame with a sound receiving channel, the first end of which is disposed on the surface of the frame; a sound receiving component disposed on the frame; a first housing and a second housing, which are arranged opposite to each other to form an accommodating space, the frame being disposed within the accommodating space; wherein a first side of the first housing and a second side of the second housing are opposite to each other, and a first gap exists between the first side and the second side, the sound receiving channel communicates with the outside through the first gap, and sound signals are transmitted to the sound receiving component via the first gap and the sound receiving channel.

[0027] This disclosure allows sound to propagate to the receiving assembly through a first gap between the first housing and the second housing. This eliminates the need for sound holes on the outer surface of the housing, while ensuring that the outer surface of the housing assembly is composed entirely of the first and second housings, thus improving the uniformity of the housing assembly's appearance and enhancing its aesthetics.

[0028] It is understood that the housing components involved in this disclosure can be used in any of the terminals listed below.

[0029] It is understood that the terminal involved in this disclosure may also be referred to as a terminal device, user equipment (UE), mobile station (MS), mobile terminal (MT), etc., and is a device that provides voice and / or data connectivity to a user. For example, a terminal may be a handheld device with wireless connectivity, an in-vehicle device, etc. Currently, some examples of terminals include: smartphones (Mobile Phones), pocket personal computers (PPCs), handheld computers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), laptops, tablets, wearable devices, or in-vehicle devices, etc. In addition, when it is a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication system, the terminal device may also be an in-vehicle device. It should be understood that the embodiments of this disclosure do not limit the specific technology or specific device form adopted by the terminal.

[0030] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a housing assembly for concealing a battery cover, according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a housing assembly for concealing a battery cover, according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 3 It is along Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the cross-section of the housing assembly generated by the central section line A.

[0031] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the housing assembly may include: a frame 100, a radio assembly 70, a first housing 21, and a second housing 22.

[0032] The frame 100 can be a frame structure of the housing assembly, a skeleton structure for fixing and installing other components, and the frame 100 can be provided with a sound receiving channel 110, the first end 111 of the sound receiving channel 110 can be provided on the surface of the frame 100.

[0033] The microphone receiving component 70 can receive sound signals through the microphone receiving channel 110. External sound signals can enter the microphone receiving channel 110 from its first end 111 and propagate to the microphone receiving component 70, enabling the microphone receiving component 70 to acquire the sound signal. For example, the microphone receiving component 70 can be a microphone, and it can be located at the second end 112 of the microphone receiving channel 110, which can be opposite to the first end 111 of the microphone receiving channel 110.

[0034] The first shell 21 and the second shell 22 can be closed to form an accommodating space, and the frame 100 can be disposed in the accommodating space.

[0035] The first side of the first housing 21 and the second side of the second housing 22 are opposite to each other, and there is a first gap 61 between the first side and the second side of the first housing 21. External sound signals can enter the receiving space through the first gap 61 and enter the receiving channel 110 from the first end 111 of the receiving channel 110 and propagate to the receiving component 70, so that the receiving component 70 can acquire external sound signals.

[0036] This disclosure allows sound to be transmitted to the receiver assembly 70 through the first gap 61 between the first housing 21 and the second housing 22 and the first gap 61 and the receiver channel 110. While making the outer surface of the housing free of receiver holes, the outer surface of the housing assembly is composed of the first housing 21 and the second housing 22, which improves the uniformity of the appearance of the housing assembly and thus enhances the aesthetics of the housing assembly.

[0037] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, there is a second gap 62 between the first housing 21 and the frame 100, and a third gap 63 between the second housing 22 and the frame 100.

[0038] The housing assembly may include a sealing component, which can be used to seal the first gap 61, the second gap 62 and the third gap 63 to prevent foreign objects such as moisture and dust from entering the interior of the housing assembly from the first gap 61, the second gap 62 and the third gap 63, thereby giving the housing assembly good waterproof and dustproof performance.

[0039] Furthermore, the sealing assembly has an opening 80 to avoid the first end 111 of the sound receiving channel 110, thereby preventing the sealing assembly from blocking the sound receiving channel 110. The sound signal can enter the interior of the housing assembly from the first gap 61 and enter the sound receiving channel 110 through the opening 80, and then propagate to the sound receiving assembly 70.

[0040] By sealing the first gap 61, the second gap 62, and the third gap 63 with a sealing component having an opening 80, it is possible to prevent foreign objects such as moisture and dust from entering the housing component, thereby improving the dustproof and waterproof performance of the housing component. It can also prevent the sound receiving channel 110 from being blocked, so that the sound receiving component 70 can obtain sound signals normally.

[0041] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the sealing assembly may include a first sealing assembly 30 and a second sealing assembly 40.

[0042] At least a portion of the first sealing component 30 can be disposed in the first gap 61, and at least another portion of the first sealing component 31 can be disposed in the second gap 62, thereby enabling the first sealing component 30 to seal the first gap 61 and the second gap 62, preventing moisture and dust and other foreign objects from entering the interior of the housing component from the first gap 61 and the second gap 62, improving the dustproof and waterproof performance of the housing component, and giving the housing component good waterproof and dustproof performance.

[0043] The second sealing component 40 can be disposed in the third gap 63, thereby sealing the third gap 63 and preventing foreign objects such as moisture and dust from entering the housing component from the third gap 63, thus improving the dustproof and waterproof performance of the housing component and giving the housing component good waterproof and dustproof performance.

[0044] The first sealing component 30 and the second sealing component 40 can be closed to form an opening 80. The sealing component with the opening 80 can avoid the first end 111 of the sound receiving channel 110, preventing the sealing component from blocking the sound receiving channel 110. External sound signals can enter the receiving space through the first gap 61, and enter the sound receiving channel 110 through the opening 80 from the first end 111 of the sound receiving channel 110, and propagate in the sound receiving channel 110 to the second end 112 of the sound receiving channel 110, so that the sound receiving component 70 can acquire external sound signals.

[0045] Figure 4 It is along Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the cross-section of the housing assembly generated by the central section line B.

[0046] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first sealing assembly 30 may include: a first seal 31 and a second seal 32.

[0047] A first sealing element 31 may be partially disposed in a first gap 61 and partially disposed in a second gap 62. The first sealing element 31 seals both the first gap 61 and the second gap 62. This allows the first sealing element 31 to seal both the first gap 61 and the second gap 62, preventing moisture and dust from entering the housing assembly from the first gap 61 and the second gap 62, thus improving the dustproof and waterproof performance of the housing assembly and giving it excellent waterproof and dustproof properties.

[0048] The second seal 32 can be disposed in the second gap 62, and the volume of the second seal 32 is smaller than the volume of the first seal 31.

[0049] The first sealing element 31 may include a first sub-seale 311 and a second sub-seale 312. The first sub-seale 311 and the second sub-seale 312 may be respectively disposed on the first side and the second side of the opening 80, which are opposite sides of the opening 80. The first end 111 of the second sealing element 32 is connected to the first sub-seale 311, and the second end 112 of the second sealing element 32 is connected to the second sub-seale 312, which are opposite ends of the second sealing element 32. This allows the second sealing element 32 to be bonded and fixed to the first sub-seale 311 and the second sub-seale 312, and prevents foreign objects such as moisture and dust from entering the housing assembly from the bonding area between the second sealing element 32 and the first sealing element 31.

[0050] By dividing the first sealing member 31 into a first sub-sealing member 311 and a second sub-sealing member 312 disposed on both sides of the opening 80, the first sealing member 31 can seal the first gap 61 while leaving the opening 80 to avoid blocking the sound receiving channel 110, thus preventing the sound receiving channel 110 from being blocked, and allowing the sound receiving component 70 to normally obtain sound signals through the sound receiving channel 110.

[0051] The second seal 32 can seal the second gap 62 between the first sub-seal 311 and the second sub-seal 312, preventing moisture and dust from entering the housing assembly through the second gap 62, thus improving the dustproof and waterproof performance of the housing assembly and giving it good waterproof and dustproof properties. Furthermore, due to the smaller size of the second seal 32, it is easier to leave an opening 80 to avoid obstructing the sound reception channel 110.

[0052] In some embodiments, the first sealant 31 may be hot melt adhesive.

[0053] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, a portion of the first sealing element 31 can be bonded to the first housing 21, and another portion of the first sealing element 31 can be bonded to the second housing 22. The first housing 21 can be bonded to the second housing 22 through the first sealing element 31, thereby improving the connection stability between the first housing 21 and the second housing 22 and enhancing the robustness of the housing assembly, in addition to providing a sealing effect.

[0054] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3As shown, the frame 100 may be provided with a first step portion 101, which can be closed with the first housing 21 to form a first groove. At least a portion of the first sealing component 30 can be disposed in the first groove. During the setting process of the first sealing component 30, the colloid of the first sealing component 30 is collected through the first groove, so that the first sealing component 30 can solidify and form in the first groove, and seal the second gap 62, preventing moisture and dust and other foreign objects from entering the housing component from the second gap 62, thereby improving the dustproof and waterproof performance of the housing component and giving the housing component good waterproof and dustproof performance.

[0055] In some embodiments, the overlap length between the first end 111 of the second seal 32 and the first sub-seal 311 can be 1 mm to 3 mm, and the overlap length between the second end 112 of the second seal 32 and the second sub-seal 312 can be 1 mm to 3 mm. For example, the overlap length between the first end 111 of the second seal 32 and the first sub-seal 311 can be 2 mm, and the overlap length between the second end 112 of the second seal 32 and the second sub-seal 312 can be 2 mm.

[0056] By setting the overlap length of the second seal 32 and the first sub-seal 311 to 1mm to 3mm, the bonding area between the second seal 32 and the first sub-seal 311 can be increased, improving the connection stability between the second seal 32 and the first sub-seal 311. It can also ensure the sealing thickness between the second seal 32 and the first sub-seal 311, preventing foreign objects such as moisture and dust from entering the housing assembly through the gap between the second seal 32 and the first sub-seal 311, thus improving the dustproof and waterproof performance of the housing assembly and giving the housing assembly good waterproof and dustproof performance.

[0057] By setting the overlap length of the second seal 32 and the second sub-seal 312 to 1mm to 3mm, the bonding area between the second seal 32 and the second sub-seal 312 can be increased, improving the connection stability between the second seal 32 and the second sub-seal 312. It can also ensure the sealing thickness between the second seal 32 and the second sub-seal 312, preventing foreign objects such as moisture and dust from entering the housing assembly from the gap between the second seal 32 and the second sub-seal 312, thus improving the dustproof and waterproof performance of the housing assembly and giving the housing assembly good waterproof and dustproof performance.

[0058] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the second sealing assembly 40 may include a third seal 41 and a fourth seal 42.

[0059] The third seal 41 can be disposed in the third gap 63, thereby sealing the third gap 63 and preventing moisture and dust from entering the housing assembly, thus improving the dustproof and waterproof performance of the housing assembly and giving it good waterproof and dustproof properties. Furthermore, the third seal 41 can be bonded to the first sealing component 30, thereby sealing the gap between the first sealing component 30 and the third seal 41, preventing moisture and dust from entering the housing assembly, thus improving the dustproof and waterproof performance of the housing assembly and giving it good waterproof and dustproof properties.

[0060] The fourth seal 42 can be disposed in the third gap 63, and can be disposed between the third seal 41 and the first sealing assembly 30. During production, the fourth seal 42 can be disposed later than the first sealing assembly 30. Since the disposal of the first sealing assembly 30 requires sufficient working space, the fourth seal 42 has a notch to avoid the sound receiving channel 110 and the first sealing assembly 30, thus providing working space for the disposal of the first sealing assembly 30. After the first sealing assembly 30 is disposed, the fourth seal 42 can be disposed within the notch to strengthen the seal between the first sealing assembly 30 and the third seal 41, and to fill the third gap 63, thereby further sealing the third gap 63 and preventing moisture and dust from entering the housing assembly from the third gap 63, improving the dustproof and waterproof performance of the housing assembly, and giving the housing assembly good waterproof and dustproof performance.

[0061] The fourth seal 42 may include a third sub-seal 421 and a fourth sub-seal 422, which may be disposed on the first side and the second side of the opening 80, respectively. The third sub-seal 421 is bonded to the first sub-seal 311, the second seal 32, and the third seal 41, and the fourth sub-seal 422 is bonded to the second sub-seal 312, the second seal 32, and the third seal 41. This allows the third seal 41, disposed at the notch, to enhance the sealing effect between the first sealing assembly 30 and the third seal 41, and to fill the third gap 63, thereby further sealing the third gap 63, preventing moisture and dust from entering the housing assembly from the third gap 63, improving the dustproof and waterproof performance of the housing assembly, and giving the housing assembly good waterproof and dustproof performance.

[0062] By dividing the fourth seal 42 into a third sub-seal 421 and a second sub-seal 421 set on both sides of the opening 80, the fourth seal 42 can achieve a sealing effect while leaving the opening 80 to avoid blocking the sound receiving channel 110, so that the sound receiving component 70 can normally obtain sound signals through the sound receiving channel 110.

[0063] In some embodiments, one side of the third seal 41 can be bonded to the second housing 22, and the other side of the third seal 41 can be bonded to the frame 100. The second housing 22 can be bonded to the frame 100 through the third seal 41, so that the third seal 41 can not only provide a sealing effect, but also improve the connection stability between the second housing 22 and the frame 100, and improve the robustness of the housing assembly.

[0064] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the frame 100 may include a second step portion 102, and the first end 111 of the sound receiving channel 110 may be disposed on the second step portion 102. By providing the second step portion 102, the first end 111 of the sound receiving channel 110 and the second housing 22 can have a larger gap distance, preventing the second housing 22 from blocking the sound receiving channel 110, and making it easier for the sound signal transmitted from the first gap 61 to enter the sound receiving channel 110.

[0065] In some embodiments, the width of the first gap 61 can be 0.1mm to 0.2mm. For example, the width of the first gap 61 can be 0.15mm. When the width of the first gap 61 is configured within the above-mentioned range, on the one hand, the width of the first gap 61 is sufficient to allow the sound signal to propagate well into the accommodating space; on the other hand, the distance between the first housing 21 and the second housing 22 can be maintained at a distance that allows the first sealing member 31 to effectively bond the first housing 21 and the second housing 22, thereby improving the reliability of the first sealing member 31 in bonding the first housing 21 and the second housing 22.

[0066] In some embodiments, the first housing 21 and the second housing 22 may both include metal parts, so that the outer surfaces of the housing assembly are all metal parts, thereby improving the aesthetics of the housing assembly and enhancing the feel and grip comfort of the housing assembly.

[0067] In some embodiments, the first housing 21 and the second housing 22 may both include plastic parts, so that the outer surfaces of the housing assembly are all plastic parts, which can reduce the weight of the housing assembly while maintaining its aesthetics.

[0068] In some embodiments, the first housing 21 and the second housing 22 may both include glass components, so that the outer surfaces of the housing assembly are all glass components, thereby improving the aesthetics of the housing assembly and enhancing the feel and grip comfort of the housing assembly.

[0069] However, this disclosure is not limited thereto; the first housing 21 may include one or more of metal, plastic, and glass components. The second housing 22 may include one or more of metal, plastic, and glass components.

[0070] In some embodiments, the first seal 31, the second seal 32, and the fourth seal 42 may be seals formed by a dispensing process.

[0071] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the housing assembly may include a fifth seal, which may be disposed in the first gap 61 and seal the first gap 61 to prevent foreign objects such as moisture and dust from entering the housing assembly from the first gap 61, thereby improving the dustproof and waterproof performance of the housing assembly and giving the housing assembly good waterproof and dustproof performance.

[0072] In some embodiments, the first housing 21 may adopt a U-shaped structure and serve as the main load-bearing structural component of the housing assembly.

[0073] In some embodiments, during the assembly of the housing assembly, a first step portion 101 can be provided on the frame 100 and the first step portion 101 can be used as a dispensing groove. When the frame 100 is assembled with the first housing 21, a second sealing member 32 is provided by dispensing glue in the dispensing groove to seal the frame 100 and the first housing 21.

[0074] Secondly, a first sealing element 31 can be provided around the first housing 21, and the first sealing element 31 can be stopped at a position adjacent to the sound receiving channel 110, so that the first gap 61 is reserved to allow the sound signal to enter the receiving space.

[0075] Next, the third seal 41 is adhered to the second housing 22, and a notch is provided on the third seal 41 so that the sealing assembly forms an opening 80 around the sound receiving channel 110. The notch is filled with a fourth seal 42, and the fourth seal 42 is bonded to the first seal 31 and the second seal 32.

[0076] After the fourth seal 42 is installed, the second housing 22, which is equipped with the third seal 41 and the fourth seal 42, is pressed onto the frame 100 and the first housing 21. The fourth seal 42 is squeezed by the second housing 22 to make it flow and fill the gap space around the opening 80, thereby achieving an adhesive seal between the first housing 21, the second housing 22 and the frame 100. This ensures the sound reception effect of the receiver 70 while improving the sealing, waterproof and dustproof effect of the housing.

[0077] In some embodiments, the third seal 41 and the fifth seal may be double-sided adhesive tape.

[0078] Based on the same concept, embodiments of this disclosure also provide an electronic device.

[0079] The electronic device can be a laptop computer, desktop computer, mobile phone, digital broadcasting terminal, messaging device, game console, tablet device, medical device, fitness equipment, personal digital assistant, translator, and wearable devices such as watches and bracelets, and can be any electronic device with a housing component. In the following description, a mobile phone is used as an example, but this disclosure is not limited to this.

[0080] In some embodiments, the electronic device may include a housing assembly, which may include: a frame 100, a radio component 70, a first housing 21, and a second housing 22.

[0081] The frame 100 can be a frame structure for an electronic device, used to fix and mount other components of the electronic device. For example, the frame 100 can be equipped with a motherboard.

[0082] The frame 100 may be provided with a sound receiving channel 110, and the first end 111 of the sound receiving channel 110 may be provided on the surface of the frame 100.

[0083] The microphone receiver 70 can receive sound signals through the microphone channel 110. External sound signals can enter the microphone channel 110 from its first end 111 and propagate to the microphone receiver 70, enabling the microphone receiver 70 to acquire the sound signal and realize the voice input function of the electronic device. For example, the microphone receiver 70 can be a microphone, and it can be located at the second end 112 of the microphone channel 110, which can be opposite to the first end 111 of the microphone channel 110.

[0084] The first shell 21 and the second shell 22 can be closed to form an accommodating space, and the frame 100 can be disposed in the accommodating space.

[0085] The first side of the first housing 21 and the second side of the second housing 22 are opposite to each other, and there is a first gap 61 between the first side and the second side of the first housing 21. External sound signals can enter the receiving space through the first gap 61 and enter the receiving channel 110 from the first end 111 of the receiving channel 110 and propagate to the receiving component 70, so that the receiving component 70 can acquire external sound signals.

[0086] This disclosure allows sound to be transmitted to the receiving component 70 through a first gap 61 between the first housing 21 and the second housing 22, while eliminating the sound-receiving holes on the outer surface of the housing. This also allows the outer surface of the electronic device to be composed entirely of the first housing 21 and the second housing 22, improving the uniformity of the electronic device's appearance and thus enhancing its aesthetics.

[0087] In some embodiments, the first housing 21 can be a screen panel, the second housing 22 can be a battery cover, the third seal 41 can be a battery cover adhesive, and the fifth seal can be a screen adhesive 50. By making the screen panel and battery cover the same material, the appearance of the electronic device is made uniform, thus improving the aesthetics of the electronic device.

[0088] For example, both the screen panel and the battery cover can be made of glass, thereby enabling the electronic device to have an all-glass appearance structure, which improves the aesthetics and grip of the electronic device.

[0089] In some embodiments, a waterproof and breathable component may be provided inside the audio channel 110. The waterproof and breathable component can prevent moisture and dust and other foreign objects from entering the housing component, thereby improving the dustproof and waterproof performance of the electronic device. The sound signal can pass through the waterproof and breathable component through the conduction of air vibration, so that the audio component 70 can receive the sound signal normally.

[0090] This embodiment of the present disclosure provides a first gap 61 between the first housing 21 and the second housing 22, allowing sound to propagate through the first gap 61 and the sound receiving channel 110 to the sound receiving assembly 70. This achieves a sound receiving hole-free appearance on the housing assembly, which is beneficial for the hole-free design of the device. Furthermore, since the appearance of the electronic device can be composed entirely of the first housing 21 and the second housing 22, the number of components on the appearance of the electronic device is reduced, which can improve the uniformity of the appearance of the electronic device and thus enhance its aesthetics.

[0091] Based on this, by setting a sealing component with an opening 80 to seal the first gap 61, the second gap 62 and the third gap 63, it is possible to prevent foreign objects such as moisture and dust from entering the housing component, thereby improving the dustproof and waterproof performance of the housing component. It can also avoid blocking the sound receiving channel 110, so that the sound receiving component 70 can normally obtain sound signals, thus enabling the electronic device to meet the IP68 waterproof standard.

[0092] It is understood that in this disclosure, "multiple" refers to two or more, and other quantifiers are similar. "And / or" describes the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A alone, A and B simultaneously, and B alone.
