This affects the user experience. Therefore, how to prevent light leakage in electronic devices is an important issue. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the embodiments of the present application is to provide a housing and an electronic device, which can prevent light leakage from occurring in the electronic device.

For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, and it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the embodiments of the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0028] As shooting effects become an important consideration for users when purchasing electronic devices, the shooting effects of various electronic devices are also constantly improving. Usually, mobile phones and other electronic devices are equipped with flash and camera. When the camera is shooting, the flash will provide lighting fill light for the camera to enhance the imaging effect. The housing provides a mounting hole for the installation of the flash, and the light emitted by the flash from the lens can reach the outside through the mounting hole area of ​​the housing.

[0029] However, as some housings use a back cover made of a light-transmitting material, when the flash emits strong light, the light of the flash will leak from the housing through the lens to the outside world. Especially when used in a dark environment such as at night, the leaked light will be emitted through the outer edge of the back cover, forming a bright edge at the edge of the housing, affecting the user experience.

[0030] In such Figure 1 In the electronic device shown, a cover 12 is connected to one side of the middle frame 11. The inner layer 122 of the cover 12 is made of a light-transmitting material, and the outer layer 123 of the cover 12 is located on the side away from the middle frame 11. The flash 13 is set on the circuit board 14. A lampshade 15 is installed on one side of the circuit board 14 to cover the flash 13. A battery 16, a display module 17 and a glass cover 18 are arranged on the other side of the circuit board 14. When the electronic device turns on the flash 13, the light emitted by the flash 13 can be transmitted along the Figure 1 The direction indicated by the middle arrow is emitted through the lampshade 15 to reach the outside, and is emitted through the inner layer 122 of the cover body 12 to reach the outside. The light emitted from the inner layer 122 of the cover body 12 will form a bright edge image, affecting the user experience.

[0031] In order to prevent light leakage from occurring in electronic devices, some embodiments of the present application provide a housing. A light shielding structure is provided at the location where the flash module is installed or at the edge of the housing, and the light shielding structure is used to block the light from propagating to undesirable places. However, the light emitted by the flash can be normally propagated to the outside through the location of the installation hole. Thus, the purpose of preventing light leakage is achieved by providing a light shielding structure.

[0032] Combine the following Figures 2 to 8 The present application describes a housing in an electronic device provided in some embodiments.

[0033] like Figures 2 to 8 As shown, a shell is provided in some embodiments of the present application. The shell includes a middle frame 11 and a cover body 12. The middle frame 11 is provided with a receiving space 111. The cover body 12 covers one side of the middle frame 11, and the cover body 12 is provided with a mounting hole 121 connected to the receiving space 111. The periphery of the mounting hole 121 is provided with a shading structure for blocking light from entering the cover body 12 and / or blocking light from being emitted from the outer edge of the cover body 12. The shading structure is formed at the inner edge of the cover body 12 near the mounting hole 121 and on the surface of the cover body 12 near the middle frame 11, and / or the shading structure is formed at the outer edge of the cover body 12.

[0034] The middle frame 11 is a part of the housing that accommodates other components. The middle frame 11 is formed with an accommodation space 111, which can provide a layout space for the display module 17, the camera module, and the battery module including the battery 16. Control buttons, such as a button for controlling the volume or a button for controlling the power on and off, can be set on the middle frame 11. At the same time, the middle frame 11 can be provided with an antenna to allow the signal to be normally radiated to the outside or receive the signal sent by the outside.

[0035] The cover body 12 abuts against one side of the middle frame 11 to close one side of the accommodating space 111 of the middle frame 11, and a glass cover plate 18 is provided on the other side of the accommodating space 111 of the middle frame 11. The mounting hole 121 of the cover body 12 is a reserved hole for the flash 22 module. In some cases, for the aesthetics of the back of the shell, the inner layer 122 of the cover body 12 or the entirety of the cover body 12 may be made of a light-transmitting material. In this way, the cover body 12 provides a path for light to be emitted through itself to the outside world. The light emitted by the flash 22 in the electronic device will be emitted from the cover body 12 to the outside world. In order to avoid the occurrence of this phenomenon, a light-shielding structure is provided around the mounting hole 121 of the cover body 12.

[0036] The shading structure has shading properties and is formed of shading material, which can block light from entering the cover 12 , or block light from emitting from the outer edge of the cover 12 , or block light from entering the cover 12 and emitting from the edge of the cover 12 at the same time.

[0037] In the housing provided by some embodiments of the present application, a light shielding structure is arranged around the mounting hole 121 of the cover body 12, and the light shielding structure is arranged at the edge of the cover body 12 close to the mounting hole 121 and on the surface of the cover body 12 close to the middle frame 11 by utilizing the property of the light shielding structure to block the propagation of light, and / or the light shielding structure is arranged at the outer edge of the cover body 12. Thus, the light shielding structure is arranged to prevent light leakage from occurring in the electronic device.

[0038] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the inner edge of the cover body 12 near the mounting hole 121 is coated with a light shielding layer 21, and the light shielding layer 21 forms a part of the light shielding structure.

[0039] The light shielding layer 21 can be formed by coating a light shielding ink layer on the inner edge of the cover body 12 near the mounting hole 121. The light shielding layer 21 can prevent light from entering the cover body 12 from the edge of the cover body 12 near the mounting hole 121. Forming a part of the light shielding structure in the form of the light shielding layer 21 can facilitate implementation.

[0040] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the cover body 12 may include a connected inner layer 122 and an outer layer 123, the inner layer 122 abuts against the middle frame 11, and the inner edge of the outer layer 123 near the mounting hole 121 is bent toward the side close to the middle frame 11 and wraps the inner edge of the inner layer 122 near the mounting hole 121 to form a part of the shading structure.

[0041] The inner layer 122 and the outer layer 123 of the cover body 12 are made of different materials. The inner layer 122 of the cover body 12 is light-transmissive and can allow light to enter and exit. In order to prevent light from entering the inner layer 122 from the edge of the inner layer 122 near the mounting hole 121, the opaque outer layer 123 can be bent near the inner edge of the mounting hole 121 to form a bent portion 123, and the bent portion 123 covers the inner edge of the inner layer 122 near the mounting hole 121. In this way, the light-transmissive inner layer 122 is blocked outside, preventing light from entering the inner layer 122 from the edge of the inner layer 122 near the mounting hole 121.

[0042] In some embodiments, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a shading member 22 may be provided on the surface of the cover body 12 close to the middle frame 11 , and the shading member 22 extends to the position where the circuit board 21 is placed in the accommodating space 111 , and the shading member 22 forms another part of the shading structure.

[0043] After the circuit board 21 is arranged in the accommodation space 111, a gap will be formed between the cover body 12, and the light emitted by the flash 22 will propagate in the gap. Therefore, a light shielding member 22 can be arranged on the surface of the cover body 12 close to the middle frame 11, and the light shielding member 22 can be filled in the gap between the cover body 12 and the circuit board 21, so as to block the light from passing through. It is prevented that the light enters the inside of the cover body 12 through the surface of the cover body 12 close to the middle frame 11.

[0044] In addition, the shading member 22 may be annular and coaxially disposed with the mounting hole 121 .

[0045] The annular shading member 22 can block the periphery of the lampshade 23 of the flash 22, and the inner edge of the shading member 22 is flush with the inner edge of the cover 12 near the mounting hole 121. The shading member 22 can prevent light from passing through and reaching the surface of the cover 12 near the middle frame 11. In actual situations, the shading member 22 can be formed of foam.

[0046] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, a light shielding layer 21 may be coated on the surface of the cover body 12 close to the middle frame 11 , and the light shielding layer 21 forms another part of the light shielding structure.

[0047] That is to say, the surface of the cover body 12 close to the middle frame 11 can also be coated with a light shielding layer 21 to prevent light from entering the inside of the cover body 12 through the surface of the cover body 12 close to the middle frame 11 .

[0048] In some embodiments, Figure 5 As shown, the cover body 12 may include a connected inner layer 122 and an outer layer 123, the inner layer 122 abuts against the middle frame 11, and the outer layer 123 is bent at the outer edge toward the side close to the middle frame 11 and wraps the outer edge of the inner layer 122 inside to form a shading structure.

[0049] The inner layer 122 and the outer layer 123 of the cover body 12 are made of different materials. The inner layer 122 of the cover body 12 is light-transmissive and can allow light to enter and exit. In order to prevent light from entering the cover body 12 and exiting from the outer edge of the inner layer 122, the outer edge of the opaque outer layer 123 can be bent to form a bent portion 124, and the bent portion 124 wraps the outer edge of the inner layer 122 inside. In this way, the light-transmissive inner layer 122 is blocked inside to prevent light from exiting from the outer edge of the inner layer 122.

[0050] In some embodiments, Figure 6 As shown, the middle frame 11 may be provided with a protrusion 112 , which extends from the surface of the middle frame 11 to a side close to the cover body 12 and wraps the outer edge of the cover body 12 inside to form a light-shielding structure.

[0051] Similarly, in order to prevent light from entering the cover body 12 and then being emitted from the outer edge of the cover body 12, a protrusion 112 can be provided on the surface of the opaque middle frame 11, and the protrusion 112 extends toward the side close to the cover body 12, so that the protrusion 112 wraps the outer edge of the cover body 12. Thus, the light-transmissive cover body 12 is blocked inside, and light is prevented from being emitted from the outer edge of the cover body 12.

[0052] In some embodiments, Figure 7 As shown, the outer edge of the cover body 12 may be coated with a light shielding layer 21, and the light shielding layer 21 forms a light shielding structure.

[0053] Likewise, the light shielding layer 21 may be applied to prevent light from being emitted through the outer edge of the cover 12 .

[0054] Some embodiments of the present application also provide an electronic device, which includes the above-mentioned housing, a flashlight assembly and a display module 17. The flashlight assembly includes a circuit board 14, a flashlight 13 disposed on the circuit board 14, and a lampshade 15 disposed on the circuit board 14 and covering the flashlight 13. The circuit board 14 is disposed in the accommodation space 111 of the middle frame 11 of the housing, and the lampshade 15 is disposed in the mounting hole 121. The display module 17 is disposed in the accommodation space 111 of the middle frame 11 of the housing, and faces the side away from the cover body 12.

[0055] By setting a light shielding structure in the housing, light can be prevented from propagating to undesired places, while the light emitted by the flash lamp 13 can normally propagate to the outside through the position of the mounting hole 121. Thus, the purpose of preventing light leakage is achieved by setting a light shielding structure.

[0056] In some embodiments, Figure 8 As shown, the electronic device can also coat a light shielding layer 21 on the outer wall of the lampshade 15 to prevent the light emitted by the flash lamp 13 from entering the cover body 12 .

[0057] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the above-mentioned embodiments are specific examples for implementing the present application, and in actual applications, various changes may be made thereto in form and detail without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application.
