The meaning of "a plurality" is two or more, unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0033] In order to illustrate the technical solutions described in the present application, the following will be described in detail with reference to specific accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 1 andFigure 2 As shown in the figure, the embodiment of the present application first provides an electronic device 200, which includes a housing 90, and a communication module 6 and a circuit board 8 disposed within the housing 90. The housing 90 includes a communication module mounting assembly 100 and a cover 91 connected to the communication module mounting assembly 100. The communication module mounting assembly 100 includes a bottom plate 3 and a communication module 6 disposed on the bottom plate 3. The bottom plate 3 and the cover 91 are relatively buckled and installed together. A cavity (not marked in the figure) is defined between the bottom plate 3 and the cover 91. The communication module 6 and the circuit board 8 are located within this cavity, and the communication module 6 is connected to the circuit board 8. For example, the communication module 6 abuts against the surface of the circuit board 8, forming both an electrical connection and a physical connection at the same time.

[0035] The communication module 6 can be a module for performing remote communication and wireless communication with an external network, a service background, etc. For example, the electronic device 200 is a watch, and the communication module 6 is a SIM card, specifically a Nano SIM or a Micro-SIM card, etc.

[0036] In other alternative embodiments, according to the different types of the electronic device 200, the communication module 6 can be of other types.

[0037] In the drawings of the present application, the SIM card is taken as an example for illustration, as Figure 4 shown in the figure.

[0038] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the insertion and removal of the communication module 6, especially the removal of the communication module 6, the communication module mounting assembly 100 further includes a retaining wall 4. The retaining wall 4 is disposed on the surface of the bottom plate 3 facing the cavity, that is, the retaining wall 4 is disposed on the inner surface of the bottom plate 3. The retaining wall 4 is enclosed in a closed manner. The closed enclosure of the retaining wall 4 defines an enclosed space 40. Refer to Figure 4 shown in the figure. The communication module 6 is installed within this enclosed space 40, and the shape of the retaining wall 4 is configured to form at least one side gap 402 between the side of the communication module 6. Please refer to Figures 2 to 4 shown in the figure.

[0039] Or rather, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 shown in the figure. A part of the enclosed space 40 defined by the closed retaining wall 4 is an installation slot 401 adapted to the communication module 6, and the other part is a side gap 402 between the communication module 6 and the inner side surface of the retaining wall 4.

[0040] Through the setting of this side gap 402, when removing the communication module 6, the user can insert their fingernail into the side gap 402, and then, by tilting and applying force with the fingernail, take out the communication module 6 from the installation slot 401.

[0041] In practical applications, the side gap 402 should have a certain length and should not be too short, just enough to allow the insertion of a nail.

[0042] In this way, with the communication module installation assembly 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application, the user does not need to use additional tools when removing the communication module 6, and can operate with fingernails, so the disassembly is convenient and simple. In addition, the retaining wall 4 is closed and enclosed, providing a good seal for the internal communication module 6. The side gap 402 is not prone to leakage and water ingress, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the communication module 6.

[0043] In one embodiment, a side gap 402 is formed between the retaining wall 4 and the communication module 6, that is, in addition to allowing the user to pry up the communication module 6 with fingernails, the communication module 6 is supported by the retaining wall 4 all around. The purpose of this arrangement is to reduce the space occupied by the retaining wall 4 on the bottom plate 3 and further improve the sealing performance of the retaining wall 4 to the communication module 6.

[0044] See also Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the bottom plate 3 and the retaining wall 4 are integrally formed. For example, both are plastic structures and are integrally injection molded. In other optional embodiments, the bottom plate 3 and the retaining wall 4 can be made of other materials and are integrally formed.

[0045] The purpose of such a configuration is that no additional connection and sealing is required between the retaining wall 4 and the bottom plate 3 , and no assembly steps are added in the assembly of the communication module installation assembly 100 , which is also conducive to ensuring the sealing of the enclosed space 40 .

[0046] Please refer to Figures 3 to 5 As shown, in one embodiment, at least one protrusion 44 is provided at the top of the retaining wall 4 toward the installation groove 401, and the protrusion 44 is used to abut against the surface of the communication module 6 that is away from the bottom plate 3. In other words, the protrusion 44 and the bottom plate 3 clamp the communication module 6 in the middle, which can be used to limit the position of the communication module 6 and prevent the communication module 6 from moving on the surface perpendicular to the bottom plate 3 and jumping out of the installation groove 401.

[0047] Optionally, the distance between the protrusion 44 and the surface of the bottom plate 3 is equal to or slightly smaller than the thickness of the communication module 6 , so as to further hold the communication module 6 on the surface of the bottom plate 3 .

[0048] It is understandable that, here, when the distance between the protrusion 44 and the surface of the bottom plate 3 is smaller than the thickness of the communication module 6 , it is preferable not to damage the circuit structure on the communication module 6 .

[0049] See also Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in one embodiment, the retaining wall 4 is provided with a plurality of protrusions 44, and the plurality of protrusions 44 limit the communication module 6 from multiple positions thereof.

[0050] In an alternative embodiment, the protrusion 44 is also integrally formed on the retaining wall 4.

[0051] In an alternative embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 As shown, the retaining wall 4 is provided with two protrusions 44. In this way, the communication module 6 can be limited from two positions thereof. On this basis, the difficulty of taking and placing the communication module 6 and the manufacturing difficulty of the protrusion 44 will not be increased.

[0052] Further optionally, the two protrusions 44 are arranged oppositely. Please refer to Figure 5 As shown. That is, the two protrusions 44 generally correspond to two relatively far positions of the communication module 6. This can play a more stable limiting role on the communication module 6.

[0053] For example, as shown in Figure 4 the outline of the communication module 6 is rectangular, and it has two long sides 61 and two short sides 62. At this time, the two protrusions 44 can correspond to the two long sides 61 of the outline of the communication module 6, or correspond to the two short sides 62.

[0054] Correspondingly, please refer to Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the retaining wall 4 includes a first retaining wall 41 and a second retaining wall 42 that are alternately connected in sequence, and the length of the first retaining wall 41 is greater than the length of the second retaining wall 42. The first retaining wall 41 corresponds to the long side 61 of the communication module 6, and the second retaining wall 42 corresponds to the short side 62 of the communication module 6. In this way, except for the side gap 402 formed as described above, the sides of the communication module 6 are all abutted by the first retaining wall 41 and / or the second retaining wall 42.

[0055] In one embodiment, the side gap 402 is formed between the inner side of the first retaining wall 41 and the long side 61 of the communication module 6. This is more conducive to forming the side gap 402 with the required length.

[0056] Of course, in other alternative embodiments, when the length of the second retaining wall 42 permits, the side gap 402 can also be formed between the second retaining wall 42 and the short side 62 of the communication module 6.

[0057] As shown in Figure 5 one embodiment, the side gap 402 is formed between the inner side of the first retaining wall 41 and the long side 61 of the communication module 6, and the length of the side gap 402 is less than the length of the first retaining wall 41. This enables the length of the side gap 402 to be minimized on the basis of meeting the disassembly requirements of the communication module 6, which is further conducive to ensuring the sealing performance within the enclosed space 40.

[0058] Please continue to refer to Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the first retaining wall 41 (refer to the first retaining wall 41' shown in Figure 5 shown) for forming the side gap 402 includes a retaining wall body 411, two extending walls 412 and a connecting wall 413. The retaining wall body 411 is parallel to another first retaining wall 41. The two extending walls 412 extend outward and approach each other from the ends of the retaining wall body 411 that are close to each other. The connecting wall 413 is connected to the ends of the two extending walls 412. Optionally, the connecting wall 413 is parallel to the retaining wall body 411.

[0059] In this way, the side gap 402 is trapezoidal. The length of the side gap 402 gradually decreases in the direction close to the connecting wall 413 of the first retaining wall 41'. Moreover, there is no 90-degree corner between the retaining wall body 411, the extending walls 412, and the connecting wall 413, which is convenient for the processing and manufacturing of the retaining wall 4.

[0060] Optionally, chamfers are provided on the inner side and / or both between the retaining wall body 411 and the extending wall 412, and between the extending wall 412 and the connecting wall 413.

[0061] As Figure 4 shown, in one embodiment, the contour of the communication module 6 further includes a positioning bevel 63 formed between a long side 61 and an adjacent short side 62. In this regard, as Figure 5 shown, the retaining wall 4 further includes a positioning bevel wall 43 connected between a first retaining wall 41 and an adjacent second retaining wall 42. The positioning bevel 63 and the positioning bevel wall 43 correspond to each other, and are used to ensure that the communication module 6 faces the circuit board 8 with the correct surface when installed and abuts against the circuit board 8.

[0062] On this basis, in an alternative embodiment, referring to Figure 5 shown, the side gap 402 is formed inside another first retaining wall 41 (specifically the first retaining wall 41' shown in Figure 5 shown, opposite to the first retaining wall 41). The purpose of such a setting is that the side gap 402 can be as far away from the positioning bevel 63 as possible, avoiding difficulties in the design and manufacturing of the retaining wall 4 when the two are too close.

[0063] Please refer to in combination with Figure 2 shown, on the surface of the bottom plate 3 and inside the retaining wall 4, a recessed area 30 is provided corresponding to the side gap 402, and the area of the recessed area 30 is larger than the area of the side gap 402.

[0064] The purpose of such a setting is that the recessed area 30 forms a bottom gap 403 between the surface of the bottom plate 3 and the bottom surface of the communication module 6. The bottom gap 403 is beneficial for the user's fingernail to abut against the bottom surface of the communication module 6 after tilting, so as to facilitate lifting the communication module 6 upward.

[0065] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the communication module 6 further includes an elastic cushion layer 5. The elastic cushion layer 5 is disposed in the installation groove 401 and is located between the bottom plate 3 and the communication module 6. When the communication module 6 abuts against the circuit board 8, the elastic cushion layer 5 is used to provide a certain elastic force to the communication module 6, so that a certain pressing force is generated between the communication module 6 and the circuit board 8 to maintain stable contact and connection.

[0066] The material of the elastic cushion layer 5 is not limited, and any material with a certain elasticity can be applied here. For example, in an alternative embodiment, the elastic cushion layer 5 is a foam layer, a silicone layer, or a rubber layer.

[0067] Please refer to Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the electronic product further includes a sealing layer 7. The sealing layer 7 is disposed between the top end of the retaining wall 4 and the surface of the circuit board 8. The sealing layer 7, together with the retaining wall 4, also forms a closed enclosure, which is used to further improve the sealing performance between the communication module mounting assembly 100 and the circuit board 8 and prevent the communication module 6 from being eroded by moisture. Of course, the specific shape of the sealing layer 7 does not have to be exactly the same as that of the retaining wall 4, as long as it can seal the top end of the retaining wall 4 and the surface of the circuit board 8 without affecting the abutment between the communication module 6 and the circuit board 8.

[0068] The material of the sealing layer 7 is not limited. Optionally, it is a material with a certain elasticity, and it is pressed between the retaining wall 4 and the surface of the circuit board 8 in a deformable manner. For example, in an alternative embodiment, the sealing layer 7 is a foam layer, a silicone layer, a rubber layer, etc.

[0069] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
