Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electronic equipment manufacturing, and in particular, to an electronic equipment. Background Art

[0002] At present, mainstream camera external protective films are usually made of glass, sapphire and other materials. Among them, glass protective films have some defects. For example, the Mohs hardness of glass is low, and it is easy to be scratched by foreign objects (such as quartz sand with a Mohs hardness of 7, cosmetic metal exteriors, backpack interior hardware, sharp keys and clothing zippers, etc.), which can easily damage the camera inside. At the same time, glass protective films also have problems such as insufficient fracture toughness and slight deformation of the picture when taking pictures (glass has internal stress). Sapphire protective films also have some defects, such as high price, insufficient fracture toughness and ghosting when taking pictures (sapphire has double refraction).

[0003] At the same time, technicians have discovered that transparent ceramics not only have the advantages of high fracture toughness, easy processing, low cost and convenient batch production, but also have excellent optical camera performance because they do not have the internal stress of glass and the birefringence of sapphire. They are a camera protection sheet material with great development potential. However, due to the unreasonable structural design of the current transparent ceramic camera protection sheet, there is a problem of serious wear and tear on the surface of the protection sheet and the electronic equipment during use. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the present application is to provide an electronic device that can improve, to a certain extent, the problem of severe surface wear of a transparent ceramic protective sheet and the electronic device during use.

[0005] The embodiment of the present application is implemented as follows:

[0006] The embodiment of the present application provides an electronic device, including a housing, a device body, and a protection component. The housing is provided with a mounting hole; the device body is embedded in the housing, a camera is installed in the device body, and the camera corresponds to the mounting hole; at least a part of the protection component is embedded in the mounting hole and connected to the housing, the protection component includes a protection sheet and a plurality of support members, the protection sheet has a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other, the first surface faces the camera, a plurality of support members are installed on the second surface, and the support members protrude from the second surface, the material of the protection sheet and the plurality of support members are transparent ceramics, and the protection component is configured to allow light to pass through and reach the camera.

[0007] In the above technical solution, the materials of the protective sheet and multiple supporting members are transparent ceramics. With the material advantages of transparent ceramics, the camera can be effectively protected and the camera can have relatively excellent optical camera performance. At the same time, multiple supporting members are protruding from the side of the protective sheet away from the camera. The setting of multiple supporting members can ensure that there is a certain distance between the protective sheet and the supporting surface (such as a desktop or the ground, etc.) during use, thereby reducing the probability of the protective sheet and the electronic device being worn during use. Moreover, since there are multiple supporting members, the mass of the entire electronic device can be effectively dispersed, thereby reducing the pressure on each supporting member, so that the supporting member has the advantages of not being easily worn and having a long service life during use.

[0008] In some optional embodiments, the protective sheet overlaps a portion of the camera head, and the size of the protective sheet is larger than the size of the camera head, and the plurality of support members are located in a non-overlapping area of ​​the protective sheet.

[0009] In the above technical solution, the multiple support members are all arranged in the non-overlapping area of ​​the protective sheet, that is, the multiple support members are all arranged outside the camera area of ​​the camera, which has the advantage of less interference with the camera performance.

[0010] In some optional embodiments, a plurality of support members are spaced apart and distributed along the circumference of the protection sheet.

[0011] In the above technical solution, on the basis that the multiple support members are all located in the non-overlapping area of ​​the protection sheet, the multiple support members are arranged to be distributed at intervals along the circumference of the protection sheet, so that the multiple support members are distributed more dispersedly, which has the advantage of better support stability.

[0012] In some optional embodiments, the shape of the protection sheet is circular or rectangular.

[0013] In the above technical solution, the protective sheet is set to be circular or rectangular, which has the advantage of good compatibility so as to better meet the technological production requirements.

[0014] In some optional embodiments, the protection sheet is in the shape of a rectangle, and four support members are provided, and the four support members are respectively located at the four corners of the protection sheet.

[0015] In the above technical solution, when the shape of the protective sheet is rectangular, a support member is provided at each of the four corners, which has the advantage of more even distribution of the force points, can reduce the degree of wear of the support member, and extend its service life. At the same time, it also has the advantage of higher support stability.

[0016] In some optional embodiments, the three-dimensional configuration of the support member is a hemisphere, a cone, a cylinder, a cuboid or a cube.

[0017] In the above technical solution, the support body has many three-dimensional configurations, which can better meet the customization needs; at the same time, the structure of the support member of the above configuration is relatively regular, and it also has the advantage of being easy to carry out industrial manufacturing.

[0018] In some optional embodiments, the size of the support member along the thickness direction of the protection sheet is 1 to 3 mm.

[0019] In the above technical solution, the size of the support member is limited within a specific range in the thickness direction of the protection sheet, which can better balance the support performance and the overall aesthetics of the electronic device.

[0020] In some optional embodiments, the thickness of the protection sheet is 0.5-0.8 mm.

[0021] In the above technical solution, the thickness of the protection sheet is limited within a specific range, which can better balance the structural strength of the protection sheet and the overall aesthetics of the electronic device.

[0022] In some optional embodiments, the transparent ceramic is YAG transparent ceramic, ZrO2 transparent ceramic, Al2O3 transparent ceramic, MgAl2O4 transparent ceramic or Y2O3 transparent ceramic.

[0023] In the above technical solution, there are many optional models of transparent ceramics, which can provide more feasible implementation methods, thereby facilitating the promotion and application of the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application.

[0024] In some optional embodiments, the protection component also includes a stacked silk screen layer and a UV brushed layer, both of which are located between the camera and the protective sheet, the silk screen layer is located on the side close to the camera, and the UV brushed layer is located on the side away from the camera.

[0025] In the above technical solution, the protective component is additionally provided with a stacked silk-screen printing layer and a UV brushed layer, and with the aid of the auxiliary decorative effect of the two, the electronic device has a better appearance, and at the same time, it also helps to improve the clarity during video recording.

[0039] The electronic device provided in the embodiments of the present application is described in detail below.

[0040] See also Figure 1 The embodiment of the present application provides an electronic device 10, including a housing 100, a device body 200 and a protection component 300. The housing 100 is provided with a mounting hole 110; the device body 200 is embedded in the housing 100, and a camera 210 is installed in the device body 200, and the camera 210 corresponds to the mounting hole 110; at least a part of the protection component 300 is embedded in the mounting hole 110 and connected to the housing 100, and the protection component 300 includes a protection sheet 310 and a plurality of support members 320, the protection sheet 310 has a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other, the first surface faces the camera 210, and the second surface is provided with a plurality of support members 320 and the support members 320 protrude from the second surface, the material of the protection sheet 310 and the plurality of support members 320 are both transparent ceramics, and the protection component 300 is configured to allow light to pass through and reach the camera 210.

[0041] In the present application, the protective sheet 310 and the multiple support members 320 are made of transparent ceramic. With the material advantages of transparent ceramic, the camera 210 can be effectively protected and the camera 210 can have relatively excellent optical camera performance. At the same time, multiple support members 320 are protrudingly provided on the side of the protective sheet 310 away from the camera 210. The arrangement of the multiple support members 320 can ensure that there is a certain distance between the protective sheet 310 and the supporting surface (such as a desktop or the ground) during use, thereby reducing the probability of the protective sheet 310 and the electronic device 10 being worn during use. In addition, since there are multiple support members 320, the mass of the entire electronic device 10 can be effectively dispersed, thereby reducing the pressure on each support member 320, so that the support member 320 has the advantages of being less prone to wear and having a longer service life during use.

[0042] It should be noted that the protection sheet 310 and the support member 320 are manufactured by integrally processing using a numerical control machine (CNC), which is a well-known technique in the art. Accordingly, the protection sheet 310 and the support member 320 on the surface are a unified whole.

[0043] It should be noted that the specific type of the electronic device 10 is not limited, and it can be, for example, a mobile phone or a tablet. In the embodiments of the present application, a mobile phone is taken as an example.

[0044] It should be noted that the specific number of cameras 210 is not limited and can be set according to actual needs. For example, 1, 2 or 3 cameras 210 can be set. Furthermore, when multiple cameras 210 are set, the specific distribution form of the multiple cameras 210 is not limited. For example, they can be concentrated together or scattered according to specific positional relationships.

[0045] See also Figure 2 As an example, the protective sheet 310 overlaps a portion of the camera 210 , and the size of the protective sheet 310 is larger than the size of the camera 210 , and the plurality of support members 320 are all located in the non-overlapping area of ​​the protective sheet 310 .

[0046] In this embodiment, the plurality of support members 320 are all disposed in the non-overlapping area of ​​the protective sheet 310 , that is, the plurality of support members 320 are all disposed outside the imaging area of ​​the camera 210 , which has the advantage of less interference with imaging performance.

[0047] In other possible implementations, since the support members 320 are made of transparent material, multiple support members 320 may be disposed in the overlapping region, or a portion of the support members 320 may be disposed in the overlapping region and another portion may be disposed in the non-overlapping region.

[0048] See also Figure 2As an example, a plurality of support members 320 are distributed at intervals along the circumference of the protection sheet 310 .

[0049] In this embodiment, based on the fact that the multiple support members 320 are all located in the non-overlapping area of ​​the protection sheet 310, the multiple support members 320 are arranged to be distributed at intervals along the circumference of the protection sheet 310, so that the multiple support members 320 are distributed more dispersedly, which has the advantage of better support stability.

[0050] It should be noted that, along the circumference of the protective sheet 310, when the size of a single support member 320 is large enough and the number of the support members 320 is large enough, the multiple support members 320 can be sequentially spliced ​​to form a complete large ring structure. Figure 3 .

[0051] It should be noted that the specific shape of the protection sheet 310 is not limited and can be set according to actual needs.

[0052] As an example, the shape of the protection sheet 310 is circular or rectangular.

[0053] In this embodiment, the protective sheet 310 is configured in a circular or rectangular form, which has the advantage of better compatibility so as to better meet the process production requirements.

[0054] It should be noted that the specific number of the support members 320 is not limited and can be set according to the shape of the protection sheet 310 and specific requirements.

[0055] See also Figure 4 As an example, the shape of the protection sheet 310 is circular, and three support members 320 are provided. The three support members 320 are evenly spaced along the circumference of the protection sheet 310.

[0056] See also Figure 5 As an example, the shape of the protection sheet 310 is rectangular, and four support members 320 are provided. The four support members 320 are respectively located at the four corners of the protection sheet 310.

[0057] In this embodiment, when the shape of the protective sheet 310 is rectangular, a support member 320 is provided at each of the four corners, which has the advantage of more evenly distributed force points, can reduce the degree of wear of the support member 320, and extend its service life. At the same time, it also has the advantage of higher support stability.

[0058] It should be noted that the three-dimensional configuration of the support member 320 is not limited and can be set according to actual needs.

[0059] As an example, the three-dimensional configuration of the support member 320 is a hemisphere, a cone, a cylinder, a cuboid or a cube.

[0060] In this embodiment, the support body has many three-dimensional configurations, which can better meet the customization needs; at the same time, the structure of the support member 320 of the above configuration is relatively regular, and it also has the advantage of being easy to carry out industrial manufacturing.

[0061] It should be noted that, in the thickness direction of the protection sheet 310 , the size of the support member 320 is not limited and can be set according to actual needs.

[0062] As an example, along the thickness direction of the protection sheet 310, the size of the support member 320 is 1 to 3 mm, for example but not limited to any one of 1 mm, 2 mm and 3 mm or a range between any two of the sizes.

[0063] In this embodiment, the size of the support member 320 is limited to a specific range in the thickness direction of the protection sheet 310 , which can better balance the support performance and the overall aesthetics of the electronic device 10 .

[0064] It should be noted that the thickness of the protection sheet 310 is not limited and can be set according to actual needs.

[0065] As an example, the thickness of the protection sheet 310 is 0.5-0.8 mm, for example but not limited to any one of 0.5 mm, 0.6 mm, 0.7 mm and 0.8 mm, or a range between any two of the thicknesses.

[0066] In this embodiment, the thickness of the protective sheet 310 is limited within a specific range, which can better balance the structural strength of the protective sheet 310 and the overall aesthetics of the electronic device 10 .

[0067] As an example, the transparent ceramic is YAG transparent ceramic, ZrO2 transparent ceramic, Al2O3 transparent ceramic, MgAl2O4 transparent ceramic or Y2O3 transparent ceramic.

[0068] In this embodiment, there are many selectable models of transparent ceramics, which can provide a large number of possible implementation methods, thereby facilitating the promotion and application of the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application.

[0069] See also Figure 6 As an example, the protection component 300 also includes a stacked silk screen layer 330 and a UV brushed layer 340, both of which are located between the camera 210 and the protection sheet 310, the silk screen layer 330 is located on the side close to the camera 210, and the UV brushed layer 340 is located on the side away from the camera 210.

[0070] In this embodiment, the protective component 300 is additionally provided with a stacked silk-screen layer 330 and a UV brushed layer 340, which, by means of their auxiliary decorative effects, make the electronic device 10 have a better appearance and also help to improve the clarity during video recording.

[0071] It should be noted that, since the silk-screen layer 330 is opaque, a hole needs to be opened in the area where the silk-screen layer 330 overlaps with the camera 210 to allow light to pass through normally.

[0072] It should be noted that since the silk-screen layer 330 and the UV brushed layer 340 are both decorative layers known in the art, no additional introduction is made in the embodiments of the present application, and both can be set according to conventional selections in the art.

[0073] It should be noted that any structure or functional unit not specifically described or limited in the electronic device 10 is not limited and can be configured according to conventional selections in the art.
