[0025] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the present application provides an electronic device comprising: a screen 1, a waterproof breathable membrane 2, and a support member 3. The support member 3 is located between the waterproof breathable membrane 2 and the screen 1. The waterproof breathable membrane 2 includes an elastic portion 21. When the elastic portion 21 is subjected to force and deforms toward the screen 1, the support member 3 abuts against the screen 1.
[0026] The electronic devices described in this application include, but are not limited to, mobile phones, tablet personal computers, laptop computers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), personal computers, notebook computers, vehicle-mounted devices, wearable devices, walkmans, radios, etc. Among them, wearable devices include, but are not limited to, smart bracelets, smart watches, smart head-mounted displays, smart glasses, etc.
[0027] The electronic device provided in the present application is provided with a support member 3 between the waterproof breathable membrane 2 and the screen 1. The supporting portion 31 of the support member 3 provides support, which can reduce the deformation of the elastic portion 21 to protect the waterproof breathable membrane 2; at the same time, it can avoid the problem of excessive deformation of the elastic portion 21 causing water leakage at the edge of the waterproof breathable membrane 2, thereby improving the waterproof performance of the electronic device; furthermore, the supporting portion 31 occupies less space, thereby improving the air permeability of the waterproof breathable membrane 2.
[0028] In some embodiments, the support member 3 is made of PET (polyethylene terephthalate) or foam. PET and foam have good mechanical properties and can produce elastic deformation within a certain range.
[0029] In some embodiments, the support member 3 may also be made of other materials capable of producing elastic deformation, which is not limited in this application.
[0030] In some embodiments, when the pressure applied to the elastic portion 21 is relatively low, the abutting portion 31 does not deform, and the abutting portion 31 does not abut against the screen 1 .
[0031] In some embodiments, when the elastic portion 21 is subjected to a greater pressure, the abutting portion 31 is elastically deformed and abuts against the screen 1 , and the screen 1 thus provides support for the abutting portion 31 and the elastic portion 21 .
[0032] In some embodiments, the thickness of the support member 3 is equal to the distance between the waterproof breathable membrane 2 and the screen 1, so that both ends of the support member 3 contact the elastic portion 21 of the waterproof breathable membrane 2 and the screen 1 respectively, and the waterproof breathable membrane 2 will not deform.
[0033] In some embodiments, the thickness of the support member 3 may also be smaller than the thickness between the waterproof breathable membrane 2 and the screen 1. The waterproof breathable membrane 2 may be deformed when subjected to force, and this application does not impose any restrictions on this.
[0034] The electronic device provided in the present application further includes a middle frame 4. The screen 1 is fixed to the middle frame 4, and a receiving cavity 400 is formed between the screen 1 and the middle frame 4. The waterproof breathable membrane 2 and the support member 3 are disposed in the receiving cavity 400.
[0035] In some embodiments, the waterproof breathable membrane 2 further includes a first fixing portion 22 , and the first fixing portion 22 is adhered and fixed to the middle frame 4 , thereby fixing the waterproof breathable membrane 2 to the middle frame 4 .
[0036] In some embodiments, the first fixing portion 22 surrounds the elastic portion 21 .
[0037] In some embodiments, the first fixing portion 22 may also be disposed on one side of the elastic portion 21 or on two opposite sides of the elastic portion 21 , and this application does not impose any limitation thereto.
[0038] The middle frame 4 is provided with an air vent 41, with the waterproof breathable membrane 2 positioned between the air vent 41 and the screen 1. The air vent 41 connects the outside world to the accommodating chamber 400, and a pressure relief channel 401 is formed between the air vent 41 and the waterproof breathable membrane 2. Gas between the waterproof breathable membrane 2 and the screen 1 can be discharged to the outside world through the pressure relief channel 401 and the air vent 41. External gas can also enter through the waterproof breathable membrane 2 through the air vent 41 and the pressure relief channel 401, thereby ensuring stable airflow inside and outside the electronic device and preventing unwanted noise.
[0039] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the electronic device provided in the present application further includes adhesive backing 5 , and the first fixing portion 22 is adhered and fixed to the middle frame 4 via the adhesive backing 5 .
[0040] The adhesive backing 5 includes a first adhesive backing 51 and a second adhesive backing 52. The first adhesive backing 51 is disposed on the side of the first fixing portion 22 away from the screen 1. The first fixing portion 22 is adhered and fixed to the middle frame 4 via the first adhesive backing 51. The second adhesive backing 52 is disposed on the side of the first fixing portion 22 closer to the screen 1. The first fixing portion 22 is adhered and fixed to the support member 3 via the second adhesive backing 52.
[0041] The electronic device provided in the present application provides a support member 3 between the waterproof breathable membrane 2 and the screen 1. The support member 3 provides support for the waterproof breathable membrane 2, reduces the deformation of the elastic portion 21 of the waterproof breathable membrane 2 after being compressed, prevents the first adhesive 51 from falling off and forming a gap between the middle frame 4 and the waterproof breathable membrane 2, thereby improving the waterproof performance.
[0042] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the support member 3 further includes a second fixing portion 32 , and the second fixing portion 32 is glued and fixed to the first fixing portion 22 .
[0043] In some embodiments, the second fixing portion 32 is fixed to the first fixing portion 22 by gluing the second adhesive 52 , thereby fixing the support member 3 to the waterproof breathable membrane 2 .
[0044] A pair of second fixing portions 32 is provided, and the pair of second fixing portions 32 is respectively located on two opposite sides of the supporting portion 31 .
[0045] This application defines a direction from one second fixing portion 32 to another second fixing portion 32 as a first direction D1 . Along a second direction D2 perpendicular to the first direction D1 , a width W2 of the supporting portion 31 is smaller than a width W1 of the elastic portion 21 .
[0046] The elastic portion 21 is designed to ensure waterproof and breathable ventilation. The area of the elastic portion 21 affects the air permeability of the waterproof and breathable membrane 2. The abutting portion 31 partially blocks the elastic portion 21. The width W2 of the abutting portion 31 is smaller than the width W1 of the elastic portion 21. When the length of the abutting portion 31 is equal to that of the elastic portion 21, the area of the abutting portion 31 is smaller than that of the elastic portion 21. This ensures the air permeability of the waterproof and breathable membrane 2 and solves the problem of noise generated by insufficient ventilation in electronic devices.
[0047] The width W2 of the supporting portion 31 of the electronic device provided in the present application can be adjusted, so that the width W2 of the supporting portion 31 can be adaptively adjusted according to different acoustic states inside the electronic device, so that the waterproof breathable membrane 2 has a reasonable air permeability.
[0048] Along the second direction, the abutting portion 31 is located in the middle of the elastic portion 21. Because the elastic portion 21 deforms under force, the middle portion of the elastic portion 21 is more susceptible to structural damage due to deformation than other portions. Therefore, arranging the abutting portion 31 in the middle of the elastic portion 21 can better support the elastic portion 21 and prevent damage to the elastic portion 21 due to deformation. At the same time, by arranging the abutting portion 31 in the middle of the elastic portion 21, the area of the abutting portion 31 can be set smaller, thereby increasing the air permeability area of the elastic portion 21 and improving the air permeability of the waterproof breathable membrane 2.
[0049] Please refer to Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the support member 3 is in the shape of an elongated strip.
[0050] Please refer to Figure 4 As shown, in another embodiment, the support member 3 is in an I-shape.
[0051] Please refer to Figure 5 As shown, in another embodiment, the support member 3 is Z-shaped.
[0052] In other embodiments, the shape of the support member 3 of the present application may also be other shapes besides the above three shapes, and the present application does not impose any limitation on this.
[0053] It should be noted that the technical solutions or technical features described in the above embodiments can be combined or supplemented with each other without conflict. The scope of protection of this application is not limited to the precise structures described in the above embodiments and shown in the accompanying drawings; all modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of this application shall be included in the scope of protection of this application.
