[0038] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure more clear, the embodiments of the present disclosure will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0040] The battery is an important component of electronic devices (such as mobile phones and tablets), and is an energy storage component that provides power to mobile phones. In the related art, the electronic device includes a middle frame, a battery and a battery cover. The middle frame has a battery compartment, the battery is located in the battery compartment, and the battery cover covers the battery. In the related art, in order to prevent the battery from being hit by external forces, foam is usually added to the battery and the battery cover to act as a buffer. However. The hardness of the foam is relatively low, so it is difficult to press the battery tightly in the battery compartment. In this way, when the electronic device falls, the battery may fall out of the battery compartment.

[0041] The present disclosure provides an electronic device, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the electronic device includes a middle frame 1, a battery 2, a battery cover 3 and a flexible component 4. The middle frame 1 has a battery compartment 11, and the battery 2 is located in the battery compartment 11. The battery cover 3 is used to cover the battery 2, and the flexible component 4 is located between the battery cover 3 and the battery 2. The flexible component 4 includes a connection layer 41, a strength layer 42 and a first flexible layer 43 which are stacked, and the hardness of the strength layer 42 is greater than the hardness of the first flexible layer 43.

[0042] The battery 2 is attached to the battery compartment 11. The electronic device may be a mobile phone or a tablet computer.

[0043] The technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is that the flexible component 4 in the electronic device has a buffering effect. When the electronic device falls or is hit, the flexible component 4 can prevent the battery 2 from colliding with the battery back cover 3, thereby avoiding the occurrence of safety accidents. And because the flexible component 4 has a strength layer 42 with high hardness and strength, the flexible component 4 can press the battery 2 tightly in the battery compartment 11 to prevent the battery 2 from falling out of the battery compartment 11.

[0044] In some examples, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a portion of the battery cover 3 protrudes in a direction away from the battery 2, so that a receiving space 30 is formed between the battery cover 3 and the battery 2, and the flexible component 4 is located in the receiving space 30. The two sides of the flexible component 4 respectively abut against the battery 2 and the battery cover 3 in the receiving space 30. The outwardly protruding portion of the battery cover 3 is opposite to the camera module of the electronic device and is used to accommodate the camera module.

[0045] In the related art, the accommodation space 30 is usually suspended. Therefore, when the battery falls or is hit, the battery 2 may be separated from the battery compartment 11, thereby causing safety problems.

[0046] The embodiment of the present disclosure places the flexible component 4 in the accommodation space 30, which can reduce the movement space of the battery 2 and prevent the battery 2 from falling out of the battery compartment 11. In addition, the flexible component 4 can fit tightly with the battery cover 3, thereby preventing the accommodation space 30 from causing a hollow feel, thereby improving the user experience.

[0047] It should be noted that the battery cover 3 may not have a portion protruding in the direction away from the battery 2 , that is, the battery cover 3 is flat as a whole.

[0048] In some examples, such as Figure 3 As shown, the flexible component 4 includes a connection layer 41, a strength layer 42 and a first flexible layer 43 which are stacked, and the hardness of the strength layer 42 is greater than that of the first flexible layer 43. The first flexible layer 43 can improve the buffering effect of the flexible component 42 to prevent collision between the battery 2 and the battery cover 3. Since the hardness of the strength layer 42 is relatively high, the fixing effect of the flexible component 4 on the battery 2 can be strengthened, and the battery 2 is pressed tightly in the battery compartment 11, thereby preventing the battery 2 from coming out of the battery compartment 11. Among them, the strength layer 42 and the first flexible layer 43 can be fixedly connected by adhesive.

[0049] The connection layer 41 may be adhesive, the strength layer 42 may be made of mylar, and the first flexible layer 43 may be made of foam.

[0050] In some examples, such as Figure 3As shown, the connection layer 41 is adhered to the battery 2 , and the connection layer 41 , the strength layer 42 and the first flexible layer 43 are arranged in sequence.

[0051] In other examples, the connection layer 41 may also be adhered to the battery cover 3 .

[0052] In some examples, such as Figure 3 As shown, the thickness of the strength layer 42 is less than the thickness of the first flexible layer 43, and / or the thickness of the strength layer 42 is 0.1 mm-0.3 mm. Since the thickness of the accommodating space 30 is fixed, if the thickness of the strength layer 42 is too large, the thickness of the first flexible layer 43 will be small, so that the overall flexibility of the flexible component 4 is poor, and it is difficult for the flexible component 4 to play a buffering role.

[0053] In some examples, such as Figure 4 As shown, the strength layer 42 has a first through hole 421, and / or the first flexible layer 43 has a second through hole 431. That is, at least one of the strength layer 42 and the first flexible layer 43 has a through hole. Since the strength layer 42 itself has a relatively high hardness, even if a through hole is provided on the strength layer 42, the flexible component 4 can strengthen the fixing and pressing effect on the battery 2. Moreover, after the first through hole 421 is provided, the weight of the strength layer 42 can be reduced, thereby reducing the weight of the flexible component 4, which is beneficial to the lightweighting of the electronic device. After the second through hole 431 is provided on the first flexible layer 43, it still has a buffering effect, and the weight will be reduced, which is beneficial to the lightweighting of the electronic device.

[0054] In some examples, such as Figure 4 As shown, the first through hole 421 includes a plurality of through holes, and the diameters of the plurality of through holes may be the same or different.

[0055] In some examples, such as Figure 4 As shown, the second through hole 431 includes a plurality of through holes, and the diameters of the plurality of through holes may be the same or different. The number, diameter and arrangement of the second through holes 431 and the first through holes 421 may be the same or different, and the embodiment of the present disclosure does not specifically limit this.

[0056] In some examples, such as Figure 5 As shown, the flexible component 4 further includes a second flexible layer 44. The second flexible layer 44 is located between the connection layer 41 and the strength layer 42, and the hardness of the second flexible layer 44 is less than the hardness of the strength layer 42. In this way, the buffering effect of the flexible component 4 on the battery 2 can be increased. The second flexible layer 44 and the strength layer 42 can be fixedly connected by adhesive.

[0057] In some examples, the thickness of second flexible layer 44 is the same as the thickness of first flexible layer 43 .

[0058] Exemplarily, the thickness of the first flexible layer 43 and the second flexible layer 44 may be 2 mm.

[0059] In some examples, such as Figure 5 As shown, the second flexible layer 44 has a third through hole 441. After the second flexible layer 44 is provided with the third through hole 441, it still has a buffering effect, and the weight is reduced, which is conducive to the lightweight of the electronic device. The material of the second flexible layer 44 can be foam.

[0060] In some examples, such as Figure 4 As shown, the third through hole 441 includes a plurality of through holes, and the diameters of the plurality of through holes may be the same or different. The number, diameter and arrangement of the third through holes 441 and the second through holes 431 may be the same or different, and the embodiment of the present disclosure does not specifically limit this.

[0061] In some examples, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the flexible component 4 further includes a protective layer 45 . The protective layer 45 is located between the first flexible layer 43 and the battery cover 3 , and the hardness of the protective layer 45 is greater than that of the first flexible layer 43 .

[0062] The protective layer 45 has adhesive on one side close to the first flexible layer 43 , which can absorb dust inside the strength layer 42 , the first flexible layer 43 and the second flexible layer 44 , preventing dust from entering other components of the electronic device, thereby ensuring the cleanliness and refinement of the entire electronic device.

[0063] The material of the protection layer 45 may be mylar.

[0064] In some examples, the thickness of protection layer 45 is less than the thickness of first flexible layer 43 .

[0065] In some examples, such as Figure 2 As shown, the side wall of the flexible component 4 has an escape groove 401, and the escape groove 401 is used to avoid other components in the electronic device. The protruding part of the battery cover 3 usually corresponds to the camera module, so the flexible component 4 in the accommodating space 30 is provided with an escape groove 401 to avoid the camera module and avoid interference with the camera module.

[0066] Of course, in other examples, the avoidance structure of the flexible component 4 may also be set according to the shapes and positions of other components inside the electronic device, and the embodiments of the present disclosure do not specifically limit this.

[0067] The above description is only an optional embodiment of the present disclosure and is not intended to limit the present disclosure. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the principles of the present disclosure shall be included in the protection scope of the present disclosure.
