These drawings and text descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept of the present application in any way, but to illustrate the concept of the present application to those skilled in the art by referring to specific embodiments. Detailed implementation manners

[0040] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0041] Unless otherwise defined, all technical terms used in the embodiments of the present application have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art.

[0042] To make the technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the embodiments of the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0043] Combined Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a protection component, which includes a first housing member 100, a second housing member 200, and at least one lens 300. It should be noted that the first housing member 100 in the embodiment of the present application can be made of metal, the second housing member 200 can be made of plastic, and the lens 300 can be, for example, a lens.

[0044] The first housing member 100 is provided with at least one first through hole 110, and the inner side of the hole wall of the first through hole 110 has a blocking portion 120. The blocking portion 120 extends along the circumferential direction of the hole wall and protrudes towards the central axis of the through hole. The lens 300 is located in the corresponding first through hole 110, and a first sealing member 400 is clamped between the lens 300 and the blocking portion 120. The first housing member 100 is stacked on the second housing member 200. Generally, after the protection component is installed on an electronic device, functional devices such as those for realizing imaging and lighting can be arranged in the second housing member 200. The first sealing member 400 can be a ring that matches the shape of the blocking portion 120.

[0045] By providing the first sealing member 400, it is possible to prevent external water flow from flowing in between the lens 300 and the blocking portion 120. Thus, the water flow cannot enter the second housing member 200, and it will not affect the normal use of the functional devices. That is to say, the protection component provided by the embodiment of the present application has good waterproof performance. In addition, the setting of the blocking portion 120 increases the pressure-bearing area of the first housing member 100, thereby improving the pressure-bearing capacity of the first housing member 100, and further improving the pressure-bearing capacity of the protection component, enabling the protection component to be applied not only to environments with more stringent waterproof requirements but also to environments with higher water pressure.

[0046] Next, in conjunction with the attached Figures 1 to 5 A more specific and detailed description will be given of the structures and functions of the various components of the protection component provided by the embodiment of the present application.

[0047] As Figure 2 shown, in some embodiments, the hole wall of the first through hole 110 and the blocking portion 120 are integrally formed. This can improve the preparation efficiency of the first housing member 100 and ensure the structural stability of the first housing member 100.

[0048] Combined with Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, in some embodiments, the hole wall of the first through hole 110 protrudes away from the second housing member 200 in the thickness direction to form a first protruding portion 130, and the lens 300 is connected to one end of the first protruding portion 130 away from the second housing member 200. Thus, light can be transmitted through the lens 300.

[0049] As Figure 3 shown, in some embodiments, the circumferential side of the lens 300 abuts against the inner wall of one end of the first protruding portion 130 away from the second housing member 200. Generally, the surface of the lens 300 and the end face of the first protruding portion 130 can be in a substantially flush state, so as to make the appearance of the protection assembly more beautiful.

[0050] As Figure 3 shown, in some embodiments, the second housing member 200 has at least one second through hole 210, the second through hole 210 communicates with the corresponding first through hole 110, and a second sealing member 500 is clamped between the second housing member 200 and the first housing member 100. By providing the second sealing member 500, the sealing performance between the first housing member 100 and the second housing member 200 can be improved, and thus the waterproof performance can be improved.

[0051] Combined with Figure 3 and Figure 5 shown, in some embodiments, the second housing member 200 includes a connected body portion 220, a connecting portion 230, and an extending portion 240. The body portion 220 is provided with the second through hole 210. One end of the connecting portion 230 is circumferentially connected to the body portion 220 and extends away from the first housing member 100 in the thickness direction. One end of the extending portion 240 is connected to the other end of the connecting portion 230, and the extending portion 240 and the connecting portion 230 form a preset angle. It should be noted that the body portion 220, the connecting portion 230, and the extending portion 240 can form a stepped shape. The extending portion 240 and the connecting portion 230 can be perpendicular to each other. Combined with Figures 2 to 5As shown, in some embodiments, it is assumed that there is a second seal 500 between the surface of the body portion 220 facing the first housing and the first housing portion, and the second seal 500 extends circumferentially along the body portion 220. It should be noted that since the first seal 400 can ensure that water flow does not flow from the inner wall of the lens 300 and the first housing member 100 into the second housing member 200, the second seal 500 does not need to cover the entire surface of the body portion 220, but only needs to extend circumferentially along the body portion 220, that is, the area of the second seal 500 is relatively small. This can not only improve the waterproof performance of the protection component, but also reduce the cost of the second seal 500, and further reduce the cost of the protection component. In addition, compared with the case where the second seal 500 needs to cover the entire surface of the body portion 220, the method of providing the second seal 500 circumferentially along the body portion 220 in the embodiments of the present application can further release the space in the middle part of the body portion 220, so that a relatively large deformation of the flatness can be tolerated during the preparation of the first housing member 100 and the second housing member 200, that is, a greater tolerance is provided for the first housing member 100 and the second housing member 200.

[0052] Combined Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in, in some embodiments, the protection component further includes a third housing member 600, and the third housing member 600 is provided with a third through hole 610. The circumferential side of the first housing member 100 bends away from the lens 300 in the thickness direction to form a bent portion 140, and the bent portion 140 faces the extension portion 240. The edge portion of the third housing member 600 located at the third through hole 610 is clamped between the bent portion 140 and the extension portion 240. It should be noted that the third housing member 600 in the embodiments of the present application can be the rear cover of the electronic device. During assembly, the body portion 220 of the second housing member 200 can pass through the third through hole 610 from below the third housing member 600, so that the extension portion 240 abuts against the lower surface of the third housing member 600. The first housing member 100 can be directly lapped on the upper surface of the third housing member 600. In some embodiments, the end face of the bent portion 140 and the third housing member 600 can be bonded together through an adhesive, and the adhesive extends along the end face of the bent portion 140, so that the first housing member 100 and the third housing member 600 are more stably connected. It should be noted that the adhesive can also have a certain sealing property.

[0053] As Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, a third seal 700 is clamped between the third housing member 600 and the extension portion 240, and the third seal 700 extends circumferentially along the extension portion 240. Thereby, water flow can be prevented from entering the interior between the extension portion 240 and the third housing member 600, further improving the waterproof performance of the protection assembly. It should be noted that the first seal 400, the second seal 500, and the third seal 700 in the embodiments of the present application can all be waterproof seals with double-sided adhesiveness, for example, they can all be sealing foam tapes.

[0054] As Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the hole wall of the second through hole 210 protrudes away from the body portion 220 in the thickness direction to form a second protrusion portion 250. The outer wall of the second protrusion portion 250 abuts against the inner wall of the blocking portion 120, or the end face of the second protrusion portion 250 abuts against the side of the blocking portion 120 facing away from the lens 300. It should be noted that the first housing member 100 and the second housing member 200 can protect the functional devices located within the second housing member 200. Since the shapes of the functional devices to be arranged within the second housing are different, the shape of the second protrusion portion 250 can vary to cooperate with different-shaped functional devices, such as the above two arrangement methods of the second protrusion portion 250.

[0055] As can be seen from the above, the protection assembly provided by the embodiments of the present application can prevent external water flow from flowing in between the various components, improving the waterproof performance of the protection assembly and ensuring the normal use of the functional assembly.

[0056] On the other hand, the embodiments of the present application also provide an electronic device, and the electronic device includes the protection assembly as described in any one of the above. It should be noted that the composition and functions of the protection assembly of the electronic device provided by the embodiments of the present application are the same as those of the protection assembly provided by the embodiments of the present application above, belonging to the same technical concept, so the present application will not be elaborated herein.

[0057] In some embodiments, the electronic device further includes at least one functional device, and the functional device is arranged within the second housing. The functional device can be, for example, a device for realizing functions such as imaging and lighting. The protection assembly can not only protect the functional device but also improve the aesthetics of the electronic device.

[0058] In the present application, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be construed as indicating or implying relative importance. The term "plurality" refers to two or more, unless otherwise clearly defined.

[0059] Other embodiments of the present application will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art upon consideration of the specification and practice of the application disclosed herein. The present application is intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of the present application, which follow the general principles of the present application and include known common knowledge or conventional technical means in the technical field not disclosed in the present application. The specification and examples are only to be considered as exemplary.

[0060] It should be understood that the present application is not limited to the exact structures described above and shown in the drawings, and various modifications and changes can be made without departing from its scope. The scope of the present application is only limited by the appended claims.
