Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic product technology, and more particularly to a terminal device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, to prevent the lens of the rear camera of a mobile phone from being scratched, a metal bracket is usually used to surround the entire lens and extend above the lens. This design avoids the lens from touching the table and causing scratches when the phone is placed on a table. However, this design makes the outer surface of the lens mostly flat to prevent the lens from extending beyond the metal bracket and being easily scratched. This limits the appearance design of the lens and affects the differentiation of product design and user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides a terminal device, including:

[0012] When the data detected by the detection sensor meets the first preset condition, the driving component is controlled to drive the support member to extend a preset length relative to the through hole.

[0013] In some embodiments, in response to the detection sensor detecting data that meets a second preset condition, the drive assembly is controlled to drive the support member to retract into the through hole.

[0014] In some embodiments, the cover plate at least partially protrudes from the rear housing.

[0015] In some embodiments, along the length of the rear housing, the cover plate is relatively close to one end of the rear housing, and the support member is located at one end of the cover plate relative to the other end of the rear housing.

[0016] In some embodiments, the cover plate includes a first cover plate and a second cover plate that are separately disposed, wherein the second cover plate is annular and surrounds the first cover plate;

[0026] The technical solution provided in this application has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0027] This terminal device, by incorporating a support member with at least a protruding support position above the camera cover, eliminates the need for a metal bracket to surround the entire camera cover. Instead, the terminal device is supported by at least one support member, or together with the rear housing, ensuring the cover does not contact the support surface.

[0038] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application, the solution of this application will be further described below. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0039] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of this application, but this application may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.

[0040] like Figures 1 to 4 This application provides a terminal device, which includes a rear housing 1, a cover plate 2, and at least one support member 3. The cover plate 2 is disposed on the rear housing 1. The support member 3 has at least a support position protruding from the cover plate 2, and at least one support member 3 is configured to support the terminal device or jointly support the terminal device with the rear housing 1 when in the support position, so that the cover plate does not contact the support surface when the terminal device is placed on the support surface.

[0041] The aforementioned support member 3 is provided at least one, and there can be at least one support member 3 to support the terminal device. In this case, there can be multiple support members 3 to support the terminal device, while the rear housing 1 does not participate in supporting the terminal device. Alternatively, at least one support member 3 and the rear housing 1 can jointly support the terminal device, in which case there can be one or more support members 3.

[0042] It should be noted that when only multiple support members 3 support the terminal device at the support position, some of the support members 3 can be set at the cover plate 2 and the other part can be set at the rear housing 1, so that the terminal device can be supported by only multiple support members 3. For example, support members 3 are set at all four corners of the rear housing 1, and then cooperate with the support members 3 at the cover plate 2 to support the terminal device.

[0043] Understandably, by setting up a support member 3, which has at least a support position protruding from the camera cover 2, the terminal device does not need to be surrounded by a metal bracket. Instead, the support member 3 supports the terminal device when it is in the support position or together with the rear housing 1, so that the cover 2 does not contact the support surface. This allows the outer surface of the cover 2 to be designed as a curved surface, thereby eliminating the limitations of the camera cover 2 design, realizing product differentiation design, and improving user experience.

[0044] The support surface can be a flat surface such as the ground or a table, or it can be a support surface of other shapes suitable for placing the terminal equipment.

[0045] It should be noted that if a design scheme is adopted in which a metal bracket surrounds the entire cover plate and extends above cover plate 2, and if the outer surface of cover plate 2 is curved, it is generally an outwardly convex curved surface. In this case, the metal bracket needs to be quite tall, which affects the aesthetics. Furthermore, in this case, the shape of cover plate 2 is difficult to display because the metal bracket is wrapped around the cover plate. However, by setting a support member 3, the support member 3 can raise cover plate 2 in the support position, so that cover plate 2 does not contact the support surface. This not only prevents cover plate 2 from being scratched by foreign objects on the support surface, but also avoids obstructing the outer surface of cover plate 2, thus allowing the outer surface of cover plate 2 to be exposed and showcasing its design aesthetics. The length of support member 3 extending beyond cover plate 2 in the support position can be set according to actual needs and is not specifically limited here.

[0046] The aforementioned support member 3 is preferably a metal component, which has high structural strength, provides stable support, and has a long service life. Furthermore, the aforementioned support member 3 is preferably a needle-like structure, which can provide support while minimizing obstruction of the camera cover plate 2.

[0047] It should also be noted that the aforementioned support member 3 can be configured to remain fixed relative to the cover plate 2, that is, the support member 3 is always in a supporting position, or it can be configured to move relative to the cover plate 2 and have a supporting position.

[0048] For example, in one specific implementation, the support member 3 is fixed to the cover plate 2. In this case, the cover plate 2 may have a through hole, and part of the support member 3 extends into the through hole and part of it is located outside the through hole. The through hole is either a through hole or a blind hole. Alternatively, the cover plate 2 may not have a hole, and the support member 3 may be directly fixed to the outer surface of the cover plate 2.

[0049] For example, in another specific implementation, refer to Figure 2 The cover plate 2 has a through hole, and the support member 3 passes through the through hole and is in the support position.

[0050] Understandably, if the support member 3 passes through the through hole, one end of the support member 3 is located inside the cover plate 2, and the other end extends out of the through hole and is located outside the cover plate 2. In this case, the support member 3 can be fixed by the structure located inside the cover plate 2, and the through hole can only serve a limiting or positioning function. For example, refer to... Figure 2 The terminal device also includes a mounting frame 4, which is connected to the rear housing 1. The cover plate 2 is mounted on the mounting frame 4, and the support member 3 is fixed on the mounting frame 4.

[0051] For example, in another specific implementation, the cover plate 2 has a through hole, and the support member 3 is at least partially installed in the through hole. The terminal device also includes a drive assembly disposed inside the cover plate 2, one end of the support member 3 is connected to the drive assembly, and the other end can extend out of or retract into the through hole relative to the through hole under the drive of the drive assembly.

[0052] Understandably, by configuring the support member 3 to be movable relative to the cover plate 2, when support is needed, the drive assembly drives the support member 3 to extend outward relative to the through hole. At this time, the support member 3 can extend outward by a preset length from a state completely located inside the through hole, or it can continue to extend outward by a preset length from a state already extending outward from the through hole, that is, the length of the support member 3 extending outward increases. When support is not needed, the drive assembly drives the support member 3 to retract into the through hole. At this time, the support member 3 can retract completely into the through hole, or it can retract to shorten the length of the support member 3 extending outward, that is, the length of the support member 3 extending outward decreases.

[0053] In this case, the aforementioned drive component can be selected as an electric motor.

[0054] Preferably, when the support member 3 is in the supporting position, the support member 3 extends beyond the through hole by a preset length, and the support member 3 can also be completely retracted into the through hole. In this case, the support member 3 can be prevented from protruding from the cover plate and affecting the aesthetics. The preset length can be set according to actual needs and is not specifically limited here.

[0055] Furthermore, the terminal device also includes a detection sensor. In response to the data detected by the detection sensor meeting a first preset condition, the control drive component drives the support member 3 to extend out of the through hole by a preset length. The preset length of the support member 3 extending out of the through hole can be set according to actual needs, such as being set to a fixed value or multiple selectable values. The terminal device can select one of the values ​​by its own judgment, or the user can select one of the values ​​by operating the terminal device, and the value can be changed.

[0056] Specifically, the detection sensors of the terminal device include a gyroscope sensor and a TOF ranging sensor. The first preset condition may include an attitude condition and a distance condition. The attitude condition is that the rear housing faces the support surface, and the distance condition is that the distance between the terminal device and the support surface gradually decreases. In other words, the terminal device is in a falling state, such as a drop.

[0057] The determination of whether the terminal device is in a falling state can be achieved through drop detection. For example, the terminal device can use a gyroscope sensor to determine whether the rear shell of the terminal device is facing the table. If so, the terminal device's attitude condition is met. At the same time, the TOF ranging sensor detects whether the distance between the terminal device and the supporting surface gradually decreases within a set time. If so, the distance condition is met. When both the terminal device's attitude condition and distance condition are met, the terminal device controls the drive component to drive the support member 3 to extend out of the through hole. If the terminal device's attitude condition and distance condition cannot be met simultaneously, the support member 3 will not move.

[0058] In addition, the aforementioned terminal device can perform drop detection through a gyroscope sensor and a TOF distance sensor. If the terminal device is in a drop state, the control drive component drives the support member 3 to extend out of the through hole, so that the support member 3 contacts the table or the ground first, avoiding the cover plate 2 from directly contacting the ground and causing damage.

[0059] Furthermore, in response to the data detected by the detection sensor meeting the second preset condition, the control drive assembly drives the support member 3 to retract into the through hole.

[0060] The second preset condition may include a distance condition, in which the distance between the terminal device and the support surface gradually increases.

[0061] Thus, after the user picks up the terminal device from the support surface, the drive assembly can retract the support member 3 back into the through hole, improving aesthetics and preventing the support member 3 from scratching the user. Specifically, when the support member 3 is extended out of the through hole, that is, when the support member 3 is in the support position, the distance between the terminal device and the table can be detected by a TOF distance sensor. If the distance gradually increases within a preset time, it can be determined that the terminal device has been picked up. At this time, the drive assembly is controlled to retract the support member 3 into the through hole.

[0062] It should be noted that the extension and retraction of the aforementioned support member 3 can also be achieved through user operation of the terminal device. For example, when the user needs to place the terminal device on the support surface, the drive component can be controlled to extend the support member 3 by pressing buttons or using the touch screen. Similarly, after the terminal device is lifted from the support surface, the drive component can be controlled to retract the support member 3 into the through hole by pressing buttons or using the touch screen.

[0063] In some embodiments, the outer surface of the cover plate 2 includes a plane and / or a curved surface. That is, the outer surface of the cover plate 2 can be set as a plane, or it can be set as a curved surface, or it can be partially set as a curved surface and the other part as a plane, thereby eliminating the limitations of the camera cover plate 2 design and realizing product differentiation.

[0064] For example, refer to Figure 1The aforementioned cover plate 2 includes a first cover plate 21 and a second cover plate 22, which are separately arranged. The second cover plate 22 is annular and surrounds the first cover plate 21. The outer surface of the first cover plate 21 is flat, and the outer surface of the second cover plate 22 is curved.

[0065] In some embodiments, the cover plate 2 may be selected as a camera cover plate.

[0066] Furthermore, the aforementioned terminal device also includes a camera (not shown in the figure), which is located inside the cover plate 2 and directly opposite the light-transmitting area 21a of the cover plate 2. One or more camera devices may be provided; when multiple camera devices are provided, the light-transmitting area 21a of the cover plate 2 corresponds to each of the multiple camera devices.

[0067] The camera cover can be made of glass. In this case, the part of the glass lens other than the light-transmitting area 21a is the non-light-transmitting area. The inner surface of the glass lens other than the light-transmitting area 21a can be coated or pasted with a light-shielding layer to make the part opaque, thereby achieving the effects of light shielding and decoration.

[0068] For example, refer to Figure 1 The cover plate 2 is provided with four light-transmitting areas 21a, and at this time, four camera devices can be provided.

[0069] For example, in one specific implementation, the cover plate 2 includes a first cover plate 21 and a second cover plate 22 that are separately disposed, with the second cover plate 22 being annular and surrounding the first cover plate 21. The outer surface of the first cover plate 21 is flat, while the outer surface of the second cover plate 22 is curved. In this case, the first cover plate 21 has the aforementioned light-transmitting area 21a.

[0070] Thus, the design of the second cover plate 22 and the first cover plate 21 makes the cover plate 2 have both flat and curved surfaces. Compared with the outer side of the camera cover plate, which is flat, it improves the aesthetics and allows for the personalized design of the terminal device.

[0071] The first cover plate 21 is a flat plate structure, and its outer surface is planar. The second cover plate 22 is a non-flat plate structure, and both its outer and inner surfaces are curved.

[0072] Of course, the aforementioned cover plate can also be a single integral piece, in which case the outer surface of the cover plate is curved or flat, or the outer surface of the cover plate includes both flat and curved surfaces, in which case one of the curved and flat surfaces is annular and designed to surround the other. In addition, the outer surfaces of the first and second cover plates can both be set as curved surfaces.

[0073] In some embodiments, the cover plate 2 protrudes at least partially from the rear housing 1.

[0074] Understandably, since the cover plate 2 protrudes at least partially from the rear housing 1, when the terminal device is placed on the support surface, if the cover plate 2 faces downwards and without the support member 3, the cover plate 2 will contact the support surface, which could easily scratch the cover plate 2. For example, if the cover plate 2 is a camera cover, scratches could affect the shooting effect. Therefore, the support member 3 is provided to support the terminal device when it is placed on the support surface with the cover plate 2 facing downwards, thus creating a gap between the cover plate 2 and the support surface and preventing the cover plate 2 from being scratched.

[0075] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The rear housing 1 has mounting holes. The terminal device also includes a ring-shaped mounting bracket 4, which is connected to the rear housing 1, and a cover plate 2 is disposed on the mounting bracket 4 and faces the mounting holes.

[0076] Understandably, the mounting bracket 4 serves to mount the cover plate 2, thereby ensuring that the cover plate 2 maintains a stable installation state. The mounting bracket 4 can be selected as a metal mounting bracket, which offers high structural strength and good stability.

[0077] Furthermore, the mounting bracket 4 is provided with a insertion slot, and the cover plate 2 is inserted into the insertion slot, which can further improve the fixing effect of the cover plate 2.

[0078] For example, refer to Figure 2 The opening of the insertion slot faces away from the side of the rear housing 1. The cover plate 2 includes a first cover plate 21 and a second cover plate 22 that are separately arranged. The first cover plate 21 is a flat plate structure, and the second cover plate 22 is an annular plate structure arranged around the first cover plate 21. The second cover plate 22 is an arc-shaped plate, so that it can be inserted into the insertion slot and dock with the first cover plate 21.

[0079] For example, in one specific implementation, refer to Figure 2 The aforementioned support member 3 is mounted on the mounting frame 4. Thus, the mounting frame 4 also serves to fix the support member 3, eliminating the need for an additional structure to fix the support member 3 inside the terminal device.

[0080] Of course, in other implementations, the mounting bracket may only serve to install the cover plate, while the support components are set on other structural components inside the terminal device, such as the rear housing. These will not be listed here.

[0081] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 Along the length of the rear housing 1, the cover plate 2 is relatively close to one end of the rear housing 1, and the support member 3 is located at the end of the cover plate 2 that is relatively close to the other end of the rear housing 1.

[0082] Understandably, this configuration allows the support member 3 to raise the cover plate 2 to the required height when the extension length is short, while when the support member 3 is located at the other end of the cover plate 2 in the length direction of the rear housing 1, it needs to extend a longer length to raise the cover plate 2. This reduces the extension length of the support member 3, improves aesthetics, and also prevents the support member 3 from extending too far and scratching the user.

[0083] For ease of description, the two ends of the rear housing 1 along its length are defined as the first end and the second end, respectively, with the cover plate 2 relatively close to the first end of the rear housing 1. The two ends of the cover plate 2 along the length of the rear housing 1 are defined as the third end and the fourth end, respectively. The third end of the cover plate 2 is relatively close to the first end of the rear housing 1, while the aforementioned support member 3 is located at the fourth end of the cover plate 2. In this way, when the support member 3 supports the terminal device, the cover plate 2 can be raised with a relatively small extension length. However, if the aforementioned support member 3 were located at the third end of the cover plate 2, a longer extension length would be required to raise the entire cover plate 2.

[0084] The aforementioned terminal devices can be mobile phones, tablets, or other electronic devices with camera functions.

[0085] Taking a mobile phone as an example, the terminal device may include the aforementioned rear shell 1, middle shell, and front cover. The rear shell 1, middle shell, and front cover constitute the outer shell of the terminal device, in which case the rear shell 1 has a plate-like structure. Alternatively, the terminal device may not have a middle shell, but instead include a front cover and the aforementioned rear shell 1. In this case, the rear shell 1 has an inner cavity, and the front cover and rear shell 1 constitute the outer shell of the terminal device. Or, the terminal device may not have a middle shell, but instead include a front shell and the aforementioned rear shell 1. In this case, the front shell has an inner cavity, and the rear shell 1 has a plate-like structure. The front shell and rear shell 1 constitute the outer shell of the terminal device. Still another possibility is that the terminal device may not have a middle shell, but instead include a front shell and the aforementioned rear shell 1. In this case, both the front shell and rear shell 1 have U-shaped structures, and the front shell and rear shell 1 constitute the outer shell of the terminal device.

[0086] For example, taking a mobile phone as the terminal device, refer to Figures 1 to 4 The terminal device includes a rear housing 1, a cover plate 2, and a support member 3. The cover plate 2 is disposed on the rear housing 1, and its outer surface includes a plane and / or a curved surface. The support member 3 has at least a support position protruding from the cover plate 2, and is configured to support the terminal device with the rear housing 1 in the support position, so that the cover plate 2 does not contact the support surface when the terminal device is placed on the support surface.

[0087] The aforementioned support member 3 passes through the cover plate 2 and is fixed relative to the cover plate 2. At this time, the support member 3 is always in the supporting position, that is, the position of the support member 3 relative to the cover plate 2 remains unchanged. In the length direction of the rear housing 1, the cover plate 2 is relatively close to one end of the rear housing 1, and the support member 3 is located at the end of the cover plate 2 that is relatively close to the other end of the rear housing 1.

[0088] Among them, cover plate 2 is a camera cover plate. The camera cover plate has a light-transmitting area 21a, and the camera device of the terminal device faces the light-transmitting area 21a.

[0089] The aforementioned camera cover can be made of glass. In this case, the part of the glass lens other than the light-transmitting area 21a is a non-light-transmitting area. A light-shielding layer can be coated or pasted on the inner side of the glass lens other than the light-transmitting area 21a to make that part opaque, thereby achieving the effects of light shielding and decoration.

[0090] The aforementioned camera cover includes a first cover 21 and a second cover 22, which are separately arranged. The second cover 22 is annular and surrounds the first cover 21. The first cover 21 has a light-transmitting area 21a. The outer surface of the first cover 21 is flat, while the outer surface of the second cover 22 is curved. This design of the second cover 22 allows the camera cover to have both flat and curved surfaces, improving aesthetics and allowing for more personalized design of the terminal device compared to a completely flat camera cover.

[0091] The first cover plate 21 is a flat plate, meaning its outer surface is planar. The second cover plate 22 is a non-flat plate, meaning both its outer and inner surfaces are curved.

[0092] The rear housing 1 has mounting holes. The terminal device also includes a ring-shaped mounting bracket 4 connected to the rear housing 1. A camera cover is mounted on the mounting bracket 4 and faces the mounting holes. The mounting bracket 4 has a insertion slot into which the camera cover is inserted. The opening of the insertion slot faces away from the rear housing 1. The second cover 22 is an arc-shaped plate, allowing it to be inserted into the insertion slot and mate with the first cover 21.

[0094] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, enabling those skilled in the art to understand or implement this application.
