[0003] In related technologies, some cameras are powered through contacts of electronic devices, and the camera and electronic devices communicate optically. However, this setup results in more openings on the electronic devices, which can easily accumulate dust and affect the power supply from the electronic devices to the camera. Summary of the Invention

[0006] A first electrode is provided on the housing. The first electrode is arranged in a ring shape, has magnetic properties, and is electrically connected to the battery.

[0007] The housing is also provided with a first optical communication device and a second electrode. The second electrode is located at the center of the first electrode and is insulated from the first electrode. The first electrode and the second electrode are used to electrically connect with the external camera, and the first optical communication device is used to wirelessly communicate with the external camera.

[0008] Secondly, this application provides an external camera, wherein a first magnetic element is provided on the mounting side of the external camera, and the first magnetic element is arranged in a ring shape;

[0015] The first electrode is arranged in a ring, and the second electrode is located at the center of the first electrode. The first electrode and the second electrode are separated and insulated from each other, so that the first electrode and the second electrode can provide power to the external camera, and the first optical communication device can communicate wirelessly with the external camera.

[0045] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 20 This application describes an electronic device 10, an external camera, and an electronic device component 1 according to embodiments of the present application.

[0046] Firstly, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, this application provides an electronic device 10, including a battery 11 and a housing 12; a first electrode 13 is disposed on the housing 12, the first electrode 13 is arranged in a ring, the first electrode 13 is magnetic, and the first electrode 13 is electrically connected to the battery 11; a first optical communication device 15 and a second electrode 14 are also disposed on the housing 12, the second electrode 14 is disposed at the center of the first electrode 13 and is insulated from the first electrode 13, the first electrode 13 and the second electrode 14 are used to be electrically connected to an external camera 20, and the first optical communication device 15 is used to communicate wirelessly with the external camera 20.

[0047] The electronic device 10 provided in this application includes a battery 11 and a housing 12. The housing 12 is provided with a first electrode 13, a second electrode 14 and a first optical communication device 15. The first electrode 13 and the second electrode 14 are respectively connected to the positive and negative terminals of the battery 11.

[0048] The first electrode 13 is arranged in a ring, and the second electrode 14 is located at the center of the first electrode 13. The first electrode 13 and the second electrode 14 are separated and insulated from each other, so that the first electrode 13 and the second electrode 14 can provide power to the external camera 20, and the first optical communication device 15 can communicate wirelessly with the external camera 20.

[0049] The first electrode 13 is magnetic, so it can be connected to other components or an external camera 20 by magnetic attraction. This reduces the number of openings in the housing 12 of the electronic device 10, reduces the possibility of the first electrode 13 failing due to dust accumulation, and improves the reliability of the power supply of the first electrode 13.

[0050] The first electrode 13 is arranged around the second electrode 14, and the first electrode 13 and the second electrode 14 are spaced apart. The first electrode 13 is magnetic, that is, while the first electrode 13 is supplying power, it can realize the magnetic attraction function of the electronic device 10. In other words, the electronic device 10 can magnetically attract other components through the first electrode 13, or fix the electronic device 10 itself to other components.

[0051] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, according to some embodiments of this application, the housing 12 includes a first mounting hole 121, a first optical communication device 15 and a second electrode 14 are disposed in the first mounting hole 121, and the first optical communication device 15 and the second electrode 14 are recessed relative to the outer surface 122 of the housing 12.

[0052] Specifically, the housing 12 includes a first mounting hole 121, and the first optical communication device 15 and the second electrode 14 are both disposed in the first mounting hole 121. The first optical communication device 15 can realize communication between the electronic device 10 and the outside, and the second electrode 14 can lead the power of the battery 11 to the outside of the electronic device 10.

[0053] The first optical communication device 15 and the second electrode 14 are recessed relative to the outer surface 122 of the housing 12, thereby providing positioning for the external camera 20 and aligning the first optical communication device 15 and the second electrode 14, thereby improving the communication quality between the electronic device 10 and the external camera 20. At the same time, the alignment of the external camera 20 and the second electrode 14 can be achieved, thereby improving the reliability of the electronic device 10 supplying power to the external camera 20.

[0054] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, according to some embodiments of this application, the second electrode 14 surrounds the periphery of the first optical communication device 15; one end of the first optical communication device 15 and one end of the second electrode 14 are exposed on the outer surface 122 of the housing 12.

[0055] Specifically, the second electrode 14 surrounds the periphery of the first optical communication device 15 and is connected to the first optical communication device 15, thereby reducing the number of openings on the housing 12, increasing the area of ​​the second electrode 14 exposed outside the housing 12, reducing the possibility of dust accumulation on the second electrode 14, and making it easier to clean the second electrode 14 and the first optical communication device 15.

[0056] like Figure 1 As shown, according to some embodiments of this application, the electronic device 10 also includes a built-in camera 16. That is, the electronic device 10 can take pictures without being equipped with an external camera 20.

[0057] like Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, according to some embodiments of this application, the first optical communication device 15 includes: an optical receiver 151 fixed to the housing 12; an optical receiver 152 disposed inside the optical receiver 151; and a first flexible circuit board 153 connected to the optical receiver 152, which transmits the signal received by the optical receiver 152 to the main board or sub-board of the electronic device 10.

[0058] The electronic device 10 in this application embodiment can be a terminal or other devices besides a terminal. For example, the electronic device 10 can be a mobile phone, tablet computer, laptop computer, handheld computer, in-vehicle electronic device, mobile internet device (MID), augmented reality (AR) / virtual reality (VR) device, robot, wearable device, ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), netbook or personal digital assistant (PDA), etc. It can also be a server, network attached storage (NAS), personal computer (PC), television (TV), ATM or self-service machine, etc. The embodiments of this application do not make specific limitations.

[0059] Secondly, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, this application provides an external camera 20. The mounting side 21 of the external camera 20 is provided with a first magnetic element 22, which is arranged in a ring. The external camera 20 also includes a third electrode 23, a fourth electrode 24, and a second optical communication device 25. The third electrode 23 is disposed on the ring where the first magnetic element 22 is located, and the fourth electrode 24 is disposed at the center of the first magnetic element 22. The fourth electrode 24 surrounds the second optical communication device 25, which is used for wireless communication with the electronic device 10.

[0060] The external camera 20 provided in this application can be installed on the electronic device 10. The mounting side 21 of the external camera 20 is provided with a first magnetic element 22, which is arranged in a ring shape, thereby increasing the connection strength between the external camera 20 and the electronic device 10.

[0061] The external camera 20 also includes a third electrode 23, a fourth electrode 24, and a second optical communication device 25. The third electrode 23 is disposed on the ring where the first magnetic element 22 is located, and the fourth electrode 24 is disposed at the center of the first magnetic element 22. The fourth electrode 24 is disposed around the second optical communication device 25. When the electronic device 10 and the external camera 20 are assembled, the third electrode 23 can be connected to the first electrode 13, and the fourth electrode 24 can be connected to the second electrode 14. The first electrode 13 can also attract the first magnetic element 22, so that the electronic device 10 can supply power to the external camera 20, and the first optical communication device 15 and the second optical communication device 25 can communicate.

[0062] By adjusting the position of the external camera 20 electrodes, the openings in the housing 12 of the electronic device 10 can be reduced, the possibility of the electronic device 10 failing due to dust accumulation can be reduced, and the reliability of the electronic device 10 supplying power to the external camera 20 can be improved.

[0063] like Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, according to some embodiments of this application, the fourth electrode 24 and the second optical communication device 25 protrude from the mounting side 21.

[0064] Specifically, the fourth electrode 24 and the second optical communication device 25 protrude from the mounting side 21, thereby cooperating with the electronic device 10 to achieve a positioning effect, so that the fourth electrode 24 and the second optical communication device 25 can be aligned, thereby improving the communication quality between the electronic device 10 and the external camera 20. At the same time, the alignment of the fourth electrode 24 and the electronic device 10 can be achieved, thereby improving the reliability of the electronic device 10 supplying power to the external camera 20.

[0065] like Figure 3 As shown, according to some embodiments of this application, there are multiple first magnetic elements 22, and the multiple first magnetic elements 22 are arranged in a ring, with adjacent first magnetic elements 22 spaced apart; the third electrode 23 is located between adjacent first magnetic elements 22.

[0066] Specifically, there are multiple first magnetic elements 22, and the multiple first magnetic elements 22 are arranged in a ring. Adjacent first magnetic elements 22 are spaced apart, thereby reducing the number of first magnetic elements 22 and reducing production costs. The third electrode 23 is located between adjacent first magnetic elements 22, thereby reducing the interference of the first magnetic elements 22 on the third electrode 23.

[0067] like Figure 6 As shown, according to some embodiments of this application, the third electrode 23 includes: a first elastic member 231 disposed in a first groove 211 on the mounting side 21; and a first conductor 232 connected to one end of the first elastic member 231, the first conductor 232 protruding from the mounting side 21.

[0068] Specifically, the mounting side 21 of the external camera 20 is provided with a first groove 211, and the third electrode 23 includes a first elastic member 231 and a first conductor 232. The first conductor 232 is installed in the first groove 211 through the first elastic member 231, that is, the first conductor 232 can extend and retract in the first groove 211.

[0069] When the electronic device 10 and the external camera 20 are in the assembled state, the first conductor 232, under the influence of the first elastic member 231, can be pressed tightly onto the first electrode 13, thereby improving the reliability of the electronic device 10 supplying power to the external camera 20.

[0070] By setting the first elastic element 231 and the first groove 211, the stability of the installation of the external camera 20 and the stability of power supply to the external camera 20 can be taken into account.

The second conductor is installed in the third groove 242 through the second elastic member 243, that is, the second conductor 244 can extend and retract within the third groove 242.

[0073] When the electronic device 10 and the external camera 20 are assembled, the second conductor 244, under the influence of the second elastic member 243, can be pressed tightly onto the second electrode 14, thereby improving the reliability of the electronic device 10 supplying power to the external camera 20.

[0074] By setting up the second elastic element 243 and the mounting element 241, the stability of the installation of the external camera 20 and the stability of the power supply to the external camera 20 can be taken into account.

[0075] like Figure 6 As shown, according to some embodiments of this application, the external camera 20 also includes a lens 26 and a second body 27, wherein the lens 26, the third electrode 23, the fourth electrode 24 and the second optical communication device 25 are all disposed on the second body 27.

[0076] Thirdly, such as Figure 5 and Figure 10 As shown, this application provides an electronic device component 1, including: an electronic device 10 as provided in the first aspect embodiment; and an external camera 20 as provided in the second aspect embodiment; wherein, when the electronic device 10 and the external camera 20 are in an assembled state, the first electrode 13 and the third electrode 23 are in contact, the second electrode 14 and the fourth electrode 24 are in contact, and the first optical communication device 15 and the second optical communication device 25 are disposed opposite to each other.

[0077] The electronic device component 1 provided in this application includes the electronic device 10 as provided in the first aspect embodiment, and the external camera 20 as provided in the second aspect embodiment.

[0078] When the electronic device 10 and the external camera 20 are in the assembled state, the first electrode 13 and the third electrode 23 are in contact, and the second electrode 14 and the fourth electrode 24 are in contact, thereby enabling the electronic device 10 to supply power to the external camera 20. The first optical communication device 15 and the second optical communication device 25 are arranged opposite to each other, thereby enabling communication between the electronic device 10 and the external camera 20.

[0079] The electronic device 10 and the external camera 20 are fixed by magnetic attraction of the first electrode 13 and the first magnetic element 22.

[0080] Furthermore, when the electronic device 10 and the external camera 20 are in the assembled state, the first electrode 13 is connected to the third electrode 23 of the external camera 20, and the second electrode 14 is connected to the fourth electrode 24 of the external camera 20, thereby enabling the electronic device 10 to supply power to the external camera 20. The first optical communication device 15 and the second optical communication device 25 of the external camera 20 are arranged opposite to each other, thereby enabling communication between the electronic device 10 and the external camera 20. The first electrode 13 and the first magnetic component 22 of the external camera 20 are magnetically attracted to each other, thereby fixing the electronic device 10 and the external camera 20.

[0081] The first optical communication device 15 and the second electrode 14 are recessed relative to the outer surface 122 of the housing 12, and the fourth electrode 24 and the second optical communication device 25 are protruding relative to one side of the first body 31. When the electronic device 10 and the external camera 20 are in the assembled state, the fourth electrode 24 and the second optical communication device 25 are inserted into the housing 12, and the fourth electrode 24 and the second electrode 14 abut against each other, and the first optical communication device 15 and the second optical communication device 25 are opposite each other.

[0082] When the electronic device 10 and the external camera 20 are installed together, the first electrode 13 and the first magnetic component 22 magnetically attract each other, thereby fixing the electronic device 10 and the external camera 20. The electronic device 10 and the external camera 20 are magnetically attracted together, so there is no need to set other fixing structures on the electronic device 10 and the external camera 20.

[0083] like Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, according to some embodiments of this application, the electronic device assembly 1 further includes an electronic device protective sleeve 30, which includes: a first body 31 for protecting the electronic device 10; a fifth electrode 32, which is disposed through the first body 31 and is arranged in a ring shape, and has magnetic attraction properties; a sixth electrode 33, which is disposed through the first body 31, with the fifth electrode 32 and the sixth electrode 33 being spaced apart and insulated, the sixth electrode 33 being located at the center of the fifth electrode 32 and spaced apart and insulated from the first electrode 13; and a light-transmitting element 34, which is disposed through the first body 31, with the sixth electrode 33 surrounding the light-transmitting element 34; wherein, when the electronic device 10, the electronic device protective sleeve 30 and the external camera 20 are in an assembled state, the first electrode 13 and the fifth electrode 32 are in contact, the third electrode 23 and the fifth electrode 32 are in contact, the second electrode 14 and the sixth electrode 33 are in contact, the fourth electrode 24 and the sixth electrode 33 are in contact, one side of the light-transmitting element 34 is disposed opposite to the first optical communication device 15, and the other side of the light-transmitting element 34 is disposed opposite to the second optical communication device 25.

[0084] Specifically, the electronic device component 1 includes an electronic device 10, an electronic device protective case 30, and an external camera 20. The electronic device 10 and the electronic device protective case 30 are detachably connected, and the electronic device protective case 30 and the external camera 20 are detachably connected.

[0085] The electronic device protective cover 30 includes a first body 31, a fifth electrode 32 and a sixth electrode 33. The first body 31 can be fitted onto the electronic device 10 to protect the electronic device 10. The first body 31 is provided with the fifth electrode 32 and the sixth electrode 33, both of which pass through the first body 31.

[0086] The fifth electrode 32 is arranged in a ring shape and has magnetic attraction properties. The fifth electrode 32 can guide the magnetism of the first electrode 13 to the side of the fifth electrode 32 away from the first electrode 13, so that the external camera 20 can be attracted on the side of the electronic device protective case 30 away from the electronic device 10, thus achieving the effect of the external camera 20 being attracted to the electronic device protective case 30.

[0087] The fifth electrode 32 and the sixth electrode 33 are separated and insulated from each other. The sixth electrode 33 is located at the center of the fifth electrode 32 and is separated and insulated from the first electrode 13. This allows the electronic device protective cover 30 to match the electronic device 10 and the external camera 20, reduces the openings in the housing 12 of the electronic device 10, reduces the possibility of the electronic device 10 failing due to dust accumulation, and improves the reliability of the electronic device 10 in supplying power to the external camera 20.

[0088] The electronic device protective cover 30 also includes a light-transmitting element 34, which is inserted through the first body 31. The sixth electrode 33 is arranged around the light-transmitting element 34, thereby realizing communication between the first optical communication device 15 and the second optical communication device 25.

[0089] When the electronic device 10, the electronic device protective case 30, and the external camera 20 are in the assembled state, the first electrode 13 and the fifth electrode 32 are in contact, the third electrode 23 and the fifth electrode 32 are in contact, the second electrode 14 and the sixth electrode 33 are in contact, and the fourth electrode 24 and the sixth electrode 33 are in contact, so that the electronic device 10 can supply power to the external camera 20 through the electronic device protective case 30.

[0090] One side of the light-transmitting element 34 is opposite to the first optical communication device 15, and the other side of the light-transmitting element 34 is opposite to the second optical communication device 25, thereby realizing communication between the first optical communication device 15 and the second optical communication device 25.

[0091] When the electronic device 10, the electronic device protective case 30, and the external camera 20 are installed together, the electronic device protective case 30 is fitted onto the electronic device 10, and the external camera 20 is attached to the side of the electronic device protective case 30 away from the electronic device 10. The fifth electrode 32 conducts the first electrode 13 and the third electrode 23, and the sixth electrode 33 conducts the second electrode 14 and the fourth electrode 24, thereby enabling the electronic device 10 to supply power to the external camera 20.
