[0040] Example 1

[0041] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, Embodiment 1 of the present application provides an electronic device, including:

[0042] The body comprises a shell 100, and the shell 100 has a first surface 1;

[0043] The first surface 1 includes a first portion 111, a second portion 12, and a third portion 113, wherein the first portion 111 and the second portion 12 are connected via the third portion 113;

[0044] The first surface 1 includes a protruding portion 11 , which is composed of a first portion 111 and a third portion 113 . Along a protruding direction of the protruding portion, the first portion 111 at least partially covers the third portion 113 and at least partially covers the second portion 12 .

[0045] Specifically, the main body is the core part of the electronic device, which includes all electronic components and assemblies that realize various functions of the device. The main body can be a mobile phone, a tablet computer or a laptop computer, etc.

[0046] The housing 100 is the outer structure of the electronic device, which is used to protect the electronic components and assemblies in the body from external environmental factors (such as dust, moisture, impact or wear, etc.), and to prevent damage to internal components by providing physical protection, thereby extending the service life of the device. In addition, the shape, color, material and decorative parts of the housing 100 can be designed to enhance the visual appeal of the product and improve the aesthetics of the electronic device.

[0047] The first surface 1 of the shell 100 is located outside the body. The cross-sections of the first part 111, the second part 12 and the third part 113 are Z-shaped, wherein the second part 12 is recessed relative to the first part 111, and the first part 111 and the third part 113 are projected along the convex direction, and the projections of both can overlap with part of the second part 12. When the first side surface of the first part 111 and the first side surface of the second part 12 are both planes, the angle between the first side surface of the first part 111 and the first side surface of the second part 12 is an acute angle. The design of the raised portion 11 on the first surface 1 makes the shell 100 have a sense of hierarchy and three-dimensionality, and enhances the overall aesthetics of the first surface 1. At the same time, since the first part 111 and the third part 113 of the raised portion 11 are both connected to the second part 12, the structural stability of the shell 100 is increased, making the shell 100 more durable and better able to resist external impact and vibration. The specific position of the raised portion 11 can be designed according to the needs of the user. The specific number of the raised portions 11 can be designed according to the needs of the user.

[0048] The first surface 1 of the housing 100 may be attached with a decorative piece to meet the personalized needs of the housing 100. The first portion 111 at least partially blocks the third portion 113 and at least partially blocks the second portion 12. This design helps prevent the edge warping of the decorative piece. When the decorative piece is attached to the first surface 1 of the housing 100, the shielding effect of the first portion 111 can limit the edge of the decorative piece from being affected by external forces to a certain extent, thereby reducing the possibility of edge warping.

[0049] The material of the decorative parts can be leather, plastic, metal, glass, cloth, fiber material, etc. In addition, the color, gloss, texture and transparency of the decorative parts can be designed according to the needs.

[0050] The electronic device of the present application has a first surface 1 of a housing 100 including a first part 111, a second part 12 and a third part 113 connected to each other. This unique segmented design significantly enhances the overall structural stability of the housing 100. The raised portion 11 is composed of the first part 111 and the third part 113, and the design is ingenious so that the first part 111 at least partially blocks the third part 113 and at least partially blocks the second part 12. When the decorative element is attached to the first surface 1 of the housing 100, the shielding effect of the first part 111 can effectively limit the edge of the decorative element from being directly affected by external forces. This shielding effect helps to reduce the impact of external forces on the edge of the decorative element, thereby greatly reducing the possibility of the decorative element warping. Through such a structural design and layout, not only the mechanical strength and durability of the housing 100 are improved, but also the stability and beauty of the housing 100 during use are ensured.

[0051] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, in some embodiments, the second portion 12 includes a first sub-portion and a second sub-portion;

[0052] Along the convex direction, the first portion 111 covers the first sub-portion but does not cover the second sub-portion;

[0053] Specifically, the first sub-part and the second sub-part can be designed according to the functional area or stress condition of the body to achieve more refined protection optimization. For example, the first sub-part can correspond to important electronic components, etc., which require a higher level of protection to prevent damage from external environmental factors; or, the designer can design the first sub-part and the second sub-part from an aesthetic point of view. Since the first part 111 covers the first sub-part but not the second sub-part, this design visually forms a sense of hierarchy and three-dimensionality. Or,

[0054] The first part 111 covers the entire third part 113 , making the design of the housing 100 more concise and more conducive to the design and manufacture of the mold of the housing 100 . The simplified structure of the housing 100 makes it easier to manufacture high-precision molds.

[0055] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the shape of the third portion 113 is adapted to the shape of the component to be decorated (not shown in the figure) for fitting with the component to be decorated.

[0056] Specifically, at least the side of the decorative piece is adapted to the shape of the third portion 113, for example, the shapes of the two can be matching planes or curved surfaces with a certain curvature, etc., to achieve the best fitting effect and ensure that the decorative piece can be accurately and stably installed on the housing 100. The decorative piece can be closely fitted with the third portion 113, and the close fit can not only enhance the stability of the decorative piece, but also reduce the influence of external factors such as dust and moisture on the interface between the decorative piece and the housing 100, thereby further reducing the risk of warping.

[0057] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the peripheral side of the first surface 1 bulges outward to form a bulge 11;

[0058] Specifically, part of the circumference of the first surface 1 bulges outward to form a raised portion 11. In order to prevent the decorative piece attached to the first surface 1 from warping, the raised portion 11 may include multiple raised portions, and the multiple raised portions 11 may be arranged at intervals along the circumference of the first surface 1 to provide uniform shielding and protection. For example, when the first surface 1 is rectangular or approximately rectangular, a raised portion 11 may be arranged on each side of the first surface 1, so that each side of the decorative piece can be shielded by a raised portion 11, thereby reducing the probability of warping and ensuring the stability of the connection between the decorative piece and the shell 100. Alternatively, the entire circumference of the first surface 1 bulges outward to form a raised portion 11, thereby providing all-round protection for the circumference of the decorative piece and enhancing the stability of the connection of the decorative piece. Or,

[0059] The middle part of the first surface 1 is raised to form a raised portion 11. For example, when the main body is a mobile phone, the raised portion 11 can be arranged at a position corresponding to the peripheral side of the camera of the mobile phone. This not only enhances the visual appeal and recognition of the mobile phone, but also provides additional physical protection for the camera to prevent the camera from being damaged by scratches or collisions, thereby ensuring the shooting quality and service life of the camera.

[0060] In addition, the protrusions 11 may be provided on the circumference and the middle of the first surface 1 at the same time as required.

[0061] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the shell 100 is hot-pressed and formed by the cooperation of the first mold 2, the second mold 3 and the inclined lift mechanism 4 of the hot pressing mold 200; wherein the first surface 1 can fit tightly with the second mold 3; the raised portion 11 is hot-pressed and formed by the cooperation of the first mold 2 and the inclined lift mechanism 4, and the inclined lift mechanism 4 can fit tightly with the portion where the first part 111 and the third part 113 are connected.

[0062] Specifically, hot pressing is a precise manufacturing process that can ensure the consistency of the size and shape of the housing 100 , and hot pressing can achieve rapid prototyping and mass production in a short time, thereby improving production efficiency and output.

[0063] The inclined lift mechanism 4 is used to form the first part 111 and the third part 113 of the raised portion 11. The inclined lift mechanism 4 can ensure that the product will not be over-stretched or squeezed during the demolding process, achieve smooth demolding, reduce friction and impact on the mold during the demolding process, extend the life of the mold, reduce the cost of maintenance and replacement of the mold, maintain the accuracy and surface quality of the product, and reduce product damage and scrap rate.

[0064] Example 2

[0065] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, Embodiment 2 of the present application provides a hot pressing mold 200 for producing the housing 100 of the electronic device of Embodiment 1, comprising:

[0066] A frame (not shown);

[0067] A first mold 2, arranged on the frame;

[0068] A first driving unit is disposed on the frame;

[0069] The second mold 3 is connected to the driving end of the first driving part. The first driving part is used to drive the second mold 3 to reciprocate along the first direction A to approach or move away from the first surface 1 of the housing 100. The second mold 3 can cooperate with the first mold 2 to form the first surface 1. The second mold 3 has a penetrating first missing portion.

[0070] The tilting mechanism 4 is arranged on the frame. The tilting mechanism 4 can reciprocate along the second direction B through the first missing portion to approach or move away from the raised portion 11 of the shell 100. The tilting mechanism 4 is used to cooperate with the first mold 2 to form the raised portion 11. The first direction A and the second direction B have an angle. The first direction A is the raised direction of the raised portion 11 on the first surface 1 of the shell, and the second direction B is the recessed direction of the second part 12 relative to the first part 111.

[0071] Specifically, the frame serves as a basic supporting structure of the hot pressing mold 200 , which provides a stable mounting platform for other components, such as the first mold 2 , the second mold 3 and the tilting mechanism 4 .

[0072] The first mold 2 can cooperate with the second mold 3 and the tilting mechanism 4 respectively to form the first surface 1 of the housing 100, the protrusion 11 on the first surface 1 and the second surface opposite to the first surface 1, and the first mold 2 can fit the second surface. The first mold 2 can be fixedly set on the frame; or, the first mold 2 can be slidably set on the frame along the first direction A.

[0073] The first driving part can provide power to drive the second mold 3 to reciprocate along the first direction A. The first driving part can be fixed to the frame by bolts, clamping, etc. The first driving part can be a linear motor, a hydraulic cylinder or a pneumatic cylinder.

[0074] The second mold 3 cooperates with the first mold 2. During the hot pressing process, the material is filled between the first mold 2 and the second mold 3, and finally cooled and solidified under high temperature and other conditions to form the desired first surface 1. The second mold 3 can be connected to the driving end of the first driving part by bolts or pins.

[0075] The tilting mechanism 4 can cooperate with the first mold 2 to form a relatively complex protrusion 11 on the shell 100. Since the tilting mechanism 4 can reciprocate along the second direction B, during the demoulding process, the tilting mechanism 4 moving along the second direction will not be restricted by the formed protrusion 11, which is more conducive to the tilting mechanism 4 being easily and smoothly removed from the molded shell 100, effectively solving the technical problem of demoulding difficulty caused by the special structure of the protrusion 11 on the first surface 1. In addition, the overall structure of the tilting mechanism 4 is relatively simple, which not only simplifies the design and manufacturing process of the mold, reduces the complexity and cost of the mold, but also helps to improve the stability and service life of the mold.

[0076] The hot pressing mold 200 of the present application realizes efficient and accurate molding of the housing 100 through the coordinated work of carefully designed components. The second mold 3 cooperates with the first mold 2 to form the first surface 1 of the electronic device housing 100, ensuring the surface flatness and dimensional accuracy; the tilting mechanism 4 can reciprocate along the second direction B by cleverly utilizing the first missing part in the second mold 3, so as to approach or move away from the raised part 11 of the housing 100. This design enables the tilting mechanism 4 to cooperate closely with the first mold 2 to form a raised part with a complex shape and height; and, since the tilting mechanism 4 can move freely along the second direction B, it will not be restricted by the formed raised part 11 during the demolding process, thereby greatly improving the smoothness of the demolding operation. This feature effectively solves the demolding difficulty that may be caused by the special structure of the raised part 11 on the first surface 1, ensuring production efficiency and product quality.

[0077] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the tilting mechanism 4 includes:

[0078] A second driving unit is disposed on the frame;

[0079] The top block 41 is connected to the driving end of the second driving unit. The top block 41 is arranged at the first missing portion. The second driving unit is used to drive the top block 41 to reciprocate along the second direction B. The top block 41 is used to cooperate with the first mold 2 to form the protrusion 11.

[0080] Specifically, the tilting mechanism 4 further includes a push rod 42 and a movable pin 43. The driving end of the second driving part can be connected to one end of the push rod 42 by threading, key connection or pin connection. The other end of the push rod 42 can be connected to the ejector block 41 by the movable pin 43. The movable pin 43 connection allows the push rod 42 and the ejector block 41 to move and vibrate within a small range, thereby reducing the impact of the push rod 4 on demoulding due to the stuck state of the tilting mechanism 4 or the adhesion of the product, which is more conducive to demoulding.

[0081] In some embodiments, the second direction B is consistent with a direction in which the third portion 113 is recessed toward the first portion 111 .

[0082] Specifically, since the second direction B is consistent with the concave direction of the third portion 113, the tilting mechanism 4 can be more smoothly withdrawn from the molded housing 100 during the demolding process, reducing product damage and production delays caused by demolding difficulties. At the same time, the consistent design also simplifies the mold structure and manufacturing process, further reducing production costs.

[0083] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, it also includes:

[0084] The guide portion 5 is arranged on the frame, and the tilting mechanism 4 is slidably connected with the frame along the second direction B through the guide portion 5. The guide portion 5 is used to guide the tilting mechanism 4 to slide along the path of the second direction B.

[0085] Specifically, the specific structure of the guide portion 5 is not further limited. For example, the frame is provided with a through hole passing through the second direction B, and the top rod 42 of the inclined lift mechanism 4 can pass through the through hole and move in the second direction B in the through hole, and the top rod 42 is loosely matched with the through hole, and the through hole forms the guide portion 5; or, a slide rail extending along the second direction B is provided on the frame, and the top rod 42 of the guide portion 5 is slidably connected to the slide rail along the second direction B through a slider.

[0086] The guide portion 5 provides precise guiding for the movement of the tilting mechanism 4, ensuring that the movement trajectory of the tilting mechanism 4 in the second direction B is stable and precise, avoiding deviation and vibration during the movement, thereby improving the molding accuracy and product quality.

[0087] In some embodiments, the tilting mechanism 4 includes a plurality of sub-tilting mechanisms (not shown in the figure);

[0088] The second mold 3 has a second missing portion that penetrates through it along the third direction; at least one sub-tilt mechanism can reciprocate along the second direction B through the first missing portion, and at least one sub-tilt mechanism can reciprocate along the third direction through the second missing portion; multiple sub-tilt mechanisms can cooperate with the first mold 2 to form a protrusion 11, and the third direction has an angle with the first direction A and the second direction B respectively.

[0089] Specifically, the shell 100 can have a complex and multi-dimensional raised portion 11. For example, the shell 100 has a plurality of raised portions 11, and the second portion 12 of each raised portion 11 has a different recessed direction; or, a single raised portion 11 of the shell 100 itself has a different recessed direction, for example, the raised portion 11 is annular, or has a certain curvature. At this time, each recessed direction of the third portion 113 of the raised portion 11 requires a corresponding tilting mechanism 4 to form. By setting a plurality of sub-tilting mechanisms, the movement direction of each sub-tilting mechanism is consistent with a recessed direction of the shell 100, thereby achieving a more complex and multi-dimensional shape of the raised portion 11. Each sub-tilting mechanism can move in different directions, and cooperate with the first mold 2 to form the desired raised portion 11 structure, while improving the smoothness of the demolding operation.

[0090] The above are only specific implementations of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can easily think of changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in the present application, which should be included in the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
