[0099] like Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of an electronic device 1 in a specific embodiment. The electronic device includes, for example, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a laptop computer, a car computer, a foldable display device, a foldable display screen, a wearable device, and any other device with a foldable screen function. The embodiment of the present application does not impose any special restrictions on the specific form of the above-mentioned electronic device. For the convenience of explanation, the following description is made by taking the electronic device as an example of a mobile phone. The electronic device 1 of the present application is introduced in the following specific embodiment.
[0100] Figure 1 The electronic device 1 shown includes a housing 11 and a screen 15 mounted on the housing 11. Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 It is a partial cross-sectional view of an electronic device in a specific embodiment, wherein the housing 11 includes a middle frame 13 and a back cover 112, and the screen 15 and the back cover 112 are arranged opposite to each other along the thickness direction Z of the electronic device 1. The screen 15 and the back cover 112 are mounted on the middle frame 13, and the middle frame 13, the back cover 112 and the screen 15 form a receiving cavity 111 of the electronic device 1, and the receiving cavity 111 is used to receive electronic devices such as a mainboard 22, a radio frequency circuit board 23, and a battery.
[0101] In a specific embodiment, Figure 2As shown, in the electronic device 1, the screen 15 is installed on the middle frame 13, the mainboard 22 is connected to the shielding cover 18, and the shielding cover 18 is located on the outside of the main chip 121, which is used to reduce the interference of other electronic devices on the main chip 121. The RF circuit board 23 is located on the side of the mainboard 22 away from the shielding cover 18, and the RF circuit board 23 is connected to the mainboard 22 through the ferrite bead 21, and there is a gap between the RF circuit board 23 and the mainboard 22. The RF circuit board 23 is installed on the back cover 112 through the bracket 24.
[0102] During the operation of the electronic device 1, the main chip 121 on the mainboard 22 will generate heat, and the battery 20 will also generate heat during charging. It is necessary to dissipate the heat generated by the main chip 121 and other heating devices 12 during operation into the air to prevent the temperature inside the electronic device 1 from being too high. Normally, the heat of the heating device 12 is first conducted to the middle frame 13, the back cover 112 and the screen 15 of the electronic device 1, and then dissipated into the air through the middle frame 13, the back cover 112 and the screen 15. Since the area of the back cover 112 and the screen 15 is larger than that of the middle frame 13, the heat is mainly dissipated into the air through the back cover 112 and the screen 15, that is, the back cover 112 and the screen 15 are the two heat dissipation surfaces of the electronic device 1.
[0103] like Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, the main chip 121 and the screen 15 dissipate heat through a first heat dissipation channel, and the main chip 121 and the back cover 112 dissipate heat through a second heat dissipation channel, that is, part of the heat generated by the main chip 121 is conducted to the screen 15 through the first heat dissipation channel, and part of the heat is conducted to the back cover 112 through the second heat dissipation channel. Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, the first heat dissipation channel includes a first thermally conductive gel 191, a shielding cover 18, a second thermally conductive gel 192, a temperature homogenizing plate 25, and a graphene film; the second heat dissipation channel includes a main board 22, a gap between the main board 22 and the RF circuit board 23, the RF circuit board 23, a bracket 24, and a graphene film.
[0104] In different usage scenarios of the electronic device 1, the heat generated by the heating device 12 (such as the main chip 121) is different, and the heat generated in different areas is also different. For example, in the game scenario, along the thickness direction Z of the electronic device 1, the heat on the side of the main chip 121 facing the screen 15 is greater, that is, the heat conducted from the main chip 121 to the screen 15 through the first heat dissipation channel is greater than the heat conducted to the back cover 112 through the second heat dissipation channel. In this scenario, the temperature of the screen 15 is higher than the temperature of the back cover 112, that is, the screen 15 forms a local high temperature. In the video call scenario, along the thickness direction Z of the electronic device 1, the heat on the side of the main chip 121 facing the back cover 112 is greater, that is, the heat conducted from the main chip 121 to the back cover 112 through the second heat dissipation channel is greater than the heat conducted to the screen 15 through the first heat dissipation channel. In this scenario, the temperature of the back cover 112 is higher than the temperature of the screen 15, that is, the back cover 112 forms a local high temperature. In the above two usage scenarios, due to the presence of local high temperatures, the user experience when using the electronic device 1 is poor.
[0105] The embodiment of the present application connects at least part of the heat dissipation channels of the electronic device 1 so that the heat of the heating device is transferred to the heat dissipation surface of the electronic device 1 through each heat dissipation channel, so that the heat of the heating device 12 can be redistributed through the connected heat dissipation channels, thereby improving the uniformity of the heat transferred to each heat dissipation surface, making the temperature difference of each heat dissipation surface of the electronic device 1 smaller, and reducing the risk of forming local high temperature. Among them, the heat dissipation surface of the electronic device 1 includes at least part of the surface visible from the appearance of the electronic device 1, and the surface connected to the heat conductive component 16 is the heat dissipation surface described above. The surface visible from the appearance of the electronic device includes two surfaces of the electronic device 1 along the thickness direction Z and each side surface of the electronic device 1.
[0106] The following is a detailed description of the solution of the present application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The present application embodiment provides an electronic device 1, such as Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 for Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a partial cross-sectional view of an electronic device 1 in another specific embodiment, wherein the electronic device 1 comprises a middle frame 13, a rear cover 112, a screen 15 and a heating device 12, wherein the middle frame 13, the rear cover 112 and the screen 15 form a heat dissipation surface of the electronic device 1. Since the rear cover 112 and the screen 15 have a large area, the heat dissipation surface in this embodiment may be the rear cover 112 and the screen 15. The heating device 12 is located in a receiving cavity 111 surrounded by the housing 11 and the screen 15.
[0107] The electronic device 1 may further include at least two heat-conducting components 16 respectively connected to the screen 15 and the back cover 112, that is, the electronic device 1 includes at least a first heat-conducting component 161 and a second heat-conducting component 162, wherein the screen 15 is connected to the heating device 12 via the first heat-conducting component 161, and the back cover 112 is connected to the heating device 12 via the second heat-conducting component 162, so that the heat of the heating device 12 can be conducted to the screen 15 via the first heat-conducting component 161, and can also be conducted to the back cover 112 via the second heat-conducting component 162.
