[0045] As mentioned in the background technology, in the related art, the waterproof sealing of the buttons of mobile phones or tablets mainly involves setting a sealing ring around the peripheral wall of the button. However, when the button is pressed, the sealing ring will generate friction resistance to prevent the movement of the button, thereby adversely affecting the feel of the button and causing a decrease in the user's operating experience.

[0046] In order to solve the above problems, the present application provides an electronic device, wherein a seal includes a sealing portion close to an edge and an abutting portion close to a middle portion, the sealing portion and the abutting portion are connected to each other, the sealing portion is sealably arranged between a middle frame and an outer shell, and the abutting portion is sealably arranged between a key and the middle frame. When a user presses a key, there is no longer frictional resistance between the key and the outer shell, thereby making the movement of the case smoother when the user presses the key, avoiding adverse effects on the feel of the key, and thereby improving the user's operating experience.

[0047] The technical solution of the present application will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and drawings.

[0048] See also Figures 1 to 4 The present embodiment provides an electronic device 1, which includes: a middle frame 100, a shell 200, a button 300 and a sealing member 400; the shell 200 is arranged on the outer side of the middle frame 100, and a mounting through hole 210 is arranged on the shell 200; the button 300 is movably arranged in the mounting through hole 210, and the end of the button 300 away from the middle frame 100 extends out of the shell 200, and the end of the button 300 facing the middle frame 100 is clamped with the shell 200; the sealing member 400 includes a sealing portion 410 close to the edge and an abutting portion 420 close to the middle, the sealing portion 410 and the abutting portion 420 are connected to each other, the sealing portion 410 is sealingly arranged between the middle frame 100 and the shell 200, and the abutting portion 420 is sealingly arranged between the button 300 and the middle frame 100.

[0049] Among them, the middle frame 100 provides the main structural support for the entire electronic device 1, ensures that each component is firmly installed, maintains the overall shape and strength of the electronic device 1, and is used to fix various internal components, such as circuit boards, batteries, display screens, etc., so that the internal components can be accurately installed in predetermined positions.

[0050] It should be noted that the end of the button 300 facing the middle frame 100 is snap-fitted with the housing 200, which may be any snap-fitting, elastic hook-fitting, wedge-shaped fitting, latch-fitting or other fitting forms, which are not limited here.

[0051] By setting the mounting through hole 210 on the shell 200, the button 300 can be movably set in the mounting through hole 210, and the end of the button 300 away from the middle frame 100 extends out of the shell 200, so that the button 300 is easy for the user to touch and use. The end of the button 300 facing the middle frame 100 is clamped with the shell 200 to ensure the stability and reliability of the button 300 during use, so that the button 300 is not easy to loosen or fall off, and the sealing member 400 includes a sealing portion 410 close to the edge and an abutting portion 420 close to the middle portion, the sealing portion 410 is sealingly set between the middle frame 100 and the shell 200, and the abutting portion 420 is sealingly set between the button 300 and the middle frame 100, so that the mounting through hole 210 is between the middle frame 100 and the shell 200. The hole 210 and the middle frame 100 are sealed. On the one hand, it can prevent moisture or dust from entering the interior of the shell from the gap between the button 300 and the side wall of the mounting through hole 210, thereby preventing the middle frame 100 and other internal components from being damaged. On the other hand, compared with the related art in which a sealing ring is arranged around the peripheral wall of the button 300, in this embodiment, since the sealing member 400 is arranged between the middle frame 100 and the shell 200, and the abutting portion 420 abuts against the button 300, when the user presses the button 300, there is no longer friction resistance between the button 300 and the shell 200, so that the movement of the case is smoother when the user presses the button 300, thereby avoiding adverse effects on the feel of the button 300, thereby improving the user's operating experience.

[0052] In one possible embodiment, see Figures 6 to 8 The sealing portion 410 has a surface facing the middle frame 100 that is in sealing contact with the middle frame 100 .

[0053] The above-mentioned sealing abutment may be in the form of any sealing abutment, such as plane sealing abutment, conical sealing abutment, thread sealing abutment, elastic sealing abutment, etc., and is not limited here.

[0054] By making the side surface of the sealing portion 410 facing the middle frame 100 seal against the middle frame 100, it is possible to more effectively prevent external moisture and dust from entering the middle frame 100, thereby improving the waterproof performance of the electronic device 1, thereby better protecting the internal components of the electronic device 1, maintaining a good working environment for the electronic device 1, and extending the service life of the electronic device 1.

[0055] In one possible embodiment, see Figure 5 , a sealing convex ring 4101 is provided on the surface of the sealing member 400 facing the housing 200 , the sealing convex ring 4101 is located on the sealing portion 410 , and the sealing convex ring 4101 is in sealing contact with the housing 200 .

[0056] By providing a sealing convex ring 4101 on the side surface of the sealing member 400 facing the housing 200, and the sealing convex ring 4101 is located on the sealing portion 410, and the sealing convex ring 4101 is sealed and abutted against the housing 200, the sealing convex ring 4101 can be used to increase the contact area and fit between the sealing portion 410 and the housing 200, thereby making the sealing state between the sealing member 400 and the housing 200 more stable and reliable, preventing moisture or dust from entering the interior of the housing 200 through the gap between the sealing portion 410 and the housing 200, and further improving the waterproof performance of the electronic device 1.

[0057] In one possible embodiment, see Figure 8 The electronic device 1 also includes a key sensing device 500, which is arranged in the middle frame 100; a pressing protrusion 310 is arranged on the side of the key 300 facing the middle frame 100, and the pressing protrusion 310 passes through the middle frame 100 and abuts against the key sensing device 500, and a part of the abutting portion 420 is located between the pressing protrusion 310 and the key sensing device 500.

[0058] Since a pressing protrusion 310 is provided on the side of the button 300 facing the middle frame 100, the pressing protrusion 310 passes through the middle frame 100 and abuts against the button sensing device 500, and part of the abutting portion 420 is located between the pressing protrusion 310 and the button sensing device 500, when the user presses the button 300, the pressing protrusion 310 can ensure that the pressing action of the button 300 is accurately transmitted to the button sensing device 500, so that the button sensing device 500 can achieve accurate operation response, improve the accuracy and sensitivity of the operation of the button 300, and the pressing protrusion 310 passes through the middle frame 100 and abuts against the button sensing device 500, which can maintain a relatively stable contact state between the button 300 and the sensing device, avoid abnormal sensing caused by shaking or displacement of the button 300, and thus improve the reliability of the sensing of the button 300.

[0059] In one possible embodiment, see Figure 8There is a preset gap between the surface of the abutting portion 420 facing the housing 200 and the button 300 .

[0060] Among them, there is a preset gap between the surface of the abutment portion 420 facing the shell 200 and the button 300. It should be understood that the surface of the abutment portion 420 facing the shell 200 does not fit the button 300. The size of the preset gap can be set according to actual usage requirements and is not limited here.

[0061] Since there is a preset gap between the surface of the abutment portion 420 facing the housing 200 and the button 300, when the user presses the button 300 to move the button 300 toward the inside of the housing, the movement of the button 300 will not be hindered by the abutment portion 420, thereby making the movement of the button 300 smoother and improving the user's feel when pressing the button 300. In addition, a certain margin can be provided for the expansion and contraction of the seal 400 due to temperature changes, thereby preventing the seal 400 and the abutment portion 420 from being squeezed and damaged against each other due to thermal expansion and contraction. In addition, by setting a preset gap, the difficulty in assembling the electronic device 1 can be reduced, thereby improving the production efficiency and assembly accuracy of the electronic device 1.

[0062] In one possible embodiment, see Figure 3 and Figure 8 A ring-shaped receiving groove 220 is provided on one side of the housing 200 facing the middle frame 100 , and the sealing portion 410 is located in the ring-shaped receiving groove 220 .

[0063] Thus, the sealing part 410 can be well positioned in the annular receiving groove 220 to ensure that the installation position of the seal 400 is accurate and not easy to shift, thereby ensuring the stability of the seal. It can also make the sealing part 410 and the outer shell 200 more closely and more closely combined, thereby improving the sealing effect and preventing moisture or dust from penetrating into the interior of the electronic device 1 from the edge.

[0064] In one possible embodiment, see Figure 8 and Fig. 9 A clamping protrusion 320 is provided on the side of the button 300 facing the middle frame 100 , and the clamping protrusion 320 is clamped with the surface of the housing 200 facing the middle frame 100 .

[0065] By providing a snap-fitting protrusion 320 on the side of the button 300 facing the middle frame 100, and snapping the snap-fitting protrusion 320 with the surface of the shell 200 facing the middle frame 100, it can ensure that the button 300 is firmly connected to the shell 200, avoiding the button 300 from loosening or detaching from the shell 200 during use, and no additional complex connection mechanism is required, the structure is simple, and it is easy to assemble.

[0066] Of course, the snap connection between the button 300 and the housing 200 is not limited to the above-mentioned form, and it can also be that a snap connection protrusion is set on the housing 200, and a snap connection groove is set on the button 300, and the snap connection between the button 300 and the housing 200 is achieved through the cooperation of the snap connection protrusion and the snap connection groove.

[0067] In one possible embodiment, see Fig.10 The snap-fitting protrusion 320 includes a vertical portion 3201 and a horizontal portion 3202 that are connected to each other. The end of the vertical portion 3201 away from the horizontal portion 3202 is connected to the button 300, and the horizontal portion 3202 extends away from the geometric center of the button 300. The side of the horizontal portion 3202 away from the middle frame 100 abuts against the surface of the shell 200 facing the middle frame 100.

[0068] Thus, the structure of the vertical portion 3201 and the transverse portion 3202 forms a more stable snap-fitting shape, and the abutment between the transverse portion 3202 and the housing 200 increases the contact area, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the snap-fitting, and making the connection between the button 300 and the housing 200 more firmly. Furthermore, the transverse portion 3202 extends away from the geometric center of the button 300, so as to achieve more effective snap-fitting within a limited space without affecting the normal movement of the button 300, thereby realizing the rational use of the internal space of the housing 200.

[0069] Of course, the structure of the snap-fit ​​protrusion 320 is not limited to the above-mentioned form, and may also be a cylindrical protrusion, a wedge-shaped protrusion, a square protrusion or a trapezoidal protrusion, etc., which should be known to those skilled in the art.

[0070] In one possible embodiment, see Fig. 9 and Fig.10 The clamping protrusions 320 include two, and the two clamping protrusions 320 are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the button 300 .

[0071] By arranging the two snap-fitting protrusions 320 on opposite sides of the button 300, the button 300 can be subjected to a more even force, so as to better cope with pressing pressure or other forces from different directions, maintain the integrity of the connection between the button 300 and the housing 200, and prevent the button 300 from being skewed or unstable during the process of pressing the button 300. The connection between the buttons 300 and 300 can be made more stable, which can better prevent the buttons 300 from loosening or detaching from the housing 200.

[0072] In one possible embodiment, see Figure 8 A avoidance groove 110 is provided on one side of the middle frame 100 facing the housing 200 , a portion of the abutting portion 420 extends into the avoidance groove 110 , and a preset gap is provided between the engaging protrusion 320 and the abutting portion 420 extending into the avoidance groove 110 .

[0073] The fact that there is a preset gap between the clamping protrusion 320 and the abutting portion 420 extending into the avoidance groove 110 should be understood as no contact between the clamping protrusion 320 and the abutting portion 420 extending into the avoidance groove 110 .

[0074] By setting an avoidance groove 110 on the side of the middle frame 100 facing the shell 200, and a part of the abutment part 420 extends into the avoidance groove 110, there is a preset gap between the snap-fitting protrusion 320 and the abutment part 420 extending into the avoidance groove 110, which can facilitate the assembly of the key 300 and other components, avoid too tight fit leading to installation difficulties or damage to the key 300, and enable the abutment part 420 to have a certain activity space in the avoidance groove 110 when the key 300 is pressed or slightly moved, which can reduce the interference and friction of other components on the key 300 and ensure the smooth movement of the key 300, and can also prevent excessive stress concentration due to the close contact between the snap-fitting protrusion 320 and the abutment part 420. In addition, when the key 300 is impacted, the preset gap and the avoidance groove 110 can play a certain buffering role to protect the key 300 and related components.

[0075] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the electronic device of the present application, rather than to limit it. Although the electronic device of the present application has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, a person skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions described in the above embodiments can still be modified, or some or all of the technical features can be replaced by equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
