[0024] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 This is a schematic cross-sectional view of the anti-scratch structure of the mobile phone MIC rubber cover in one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 The figure is a partial cross-sectional diagram of the anti-scratch structure of the mobile phone MIC rubber cover in one embodiment of the present invention.
[0025] A mobile phone MIC rubber cover anti-scratch structure includes a middle frame 1, a MIC rubber cover 2, a PCB board 3, an outer frame 4, a back cover 5 and a MIC device 6;
[0026] A sound guide channel 11 is provided at the bottom of the middle frame 1, and a rubber sleeve receiving portion 12 is provided on one end face of the sound guide channel 11, and the MIC rubber sleeve 2 is installed in the rubber sleeve receiving portion 12; the PCB board 3 is arranged above the rubber sleeve receiving portion 12, and one side of the PCB board 3 is abutted against one side of the middle frame 1; an outer frame 4 is installed above the PCB board 3, and the back shell 5 covers the top of the middle frame 1 and the outer frame 4; the middle frame 1, PCB board 3, outer frame 4 and back shell 5 together form an accommodating cavity, and the MIC device 6 is accommodated in the accommodating cavity and fixedly mounted on the PCB board 3; a chamfer 31 is provided on the side of the PCB board 3 abutting against the middle frame 1.
[0027] Waterproof mobile phones are assembled using a submersible assembly process. This process involves a complex and sophisticated set of designs and techniques designed to keep the phone dry when exposed to water, preventing damage such as short circuits and corrosion. During assembly, the PCB board must be inserted into the phone at an angle and assembled with the middle frame. The waterproof rubber sleeve for the MIC device is installed near the point where the PCB and middle frame meet. Because the PCB has angular edges, the rubber sleeve can easily be scratched during the oblique insertion and movement of the PCB, causing damage. The present invention aims to address this issue.
[0028] In this embodiment of the present invention, the intermediate frame 1 includes a main body 13 at the bottom and a side 14 extending vertically from one side of the main body toward the rear housing. The cross-section of the connection between the main body 13 and the side 14 is L-shaped. The rubber sleeve receiving portion 12 is provided in the main body 13; the bottom of the PCB board 3 is sealed to the main body 13, and one side of the PCB board 3 abuts the side 14.
[0029] See also Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the partial structure of the PCB board at a certain angle of view of the anti-scratch structure of the mobile phone MIC rubber cover in an embodiment of the present invention. In some possible implementation modes, a chamfer 31 is provided on the side where the PCB board 3 abuts the middle frame 1. The chamfer 31 is arranged at the bottom of the PCB board 3, and the inclined surface of the chamfer 31 faces the connection between the main part 13 and the side 14 of the middle frame 1.
[0030] The position of the chamfer 31 corresponds to the position of the rubber sleeve receiving portion 12. When the PCB board 3 is tilted to contact the middle frame 1, the tilt angle is the same as the angle of the chamfer 31. That is, the chamfer 31 and the main portion 13 of the middle frame 1 are in parallel contact with each other to prevent scratches on the MIC rubber sleeve 2 located in the rubber sleeve receiving portion 12. The extended width of the chamfer 31 is greater than the length of the MIC rubber sleeve 2, ensuring that the chamfer 31 can cover the range of the MIC rubber sleeve 2 during assembly, ensuring that the MIC rubber sleeve 2 is not worn by the sharp edges of the PCB board 3. Furthermore, the edges of the PCB board 3 at both ends of the chamfer 31 are configured as curved surfaces to reduce friction during the processing process while improving the appearance and feel of the part.
[0031] Chamfering refers to the process of cutting the edges and corners of a workpiece into a certain inclined surface. In this embodiment, the chamfer is a C-shaped (square) chamfer, and the inclination angle of the chamfer is 45°, that is, the two sides of the chamfer are equal in length. In some embodiments, the length of the right-angled side of the chamfer is 0.3 mm. In mechanical processing, the most common chamfer angle is 45°. The 45° chamfer performs well in removing burrs and facilitating assembly, so it is a standard angle. In other embodiments, the inclination angle of the chamfer can also be other angles, which can be adjusted according to the angle of the oblique insertion assembly of the PCB board. The length of the side of the chamfer is also adaptively adjusted with the angle.
[0032] See also Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a MIC rubber sleeve in one embodiment of the present invention. In some embodiments, the MIC rubber sleeve 2 is a circular silicone sleeve with a circular rubber ring protrusion on the top. The bottom of the PCB board 3 is pressed against the silicone sleeve and forms an interference fit with the silicone sleeve, thereby achieving a sealing effect and ensuring tightness. In other embodiments, the MIC rubber sleeve 2 can have other shapes, which are not limited here.
[0033] In the present invention, the MIC device 6 is provided with a MIC hole 61, and the PCB board 3 is provided with a sound guide hole 32. The MIC hole 61 and the sound guide hole 32 are opposite to the sound guide channel 11 to form a sound guide passage. The MIC rubber sleeve 2 is arranged between the PCB board 3 and the sound guide channel 11 to seal the MIC device and prevent external moisture from invading through the sound guide channel, thereby ensuring sealing and waterproof properties. A dustproof net assembly 7 is also provided between the MIC rubber sleeve 2 and the sound guide channel 11. The two sides of the dustproof net assembly 7 are respectively sealed and connected to the end faces of the MIC rubber sleeve 2 and the sound guide channel 11 through adhesive backing. The sound guide channel 11 includes a horizontal part and a longitudinal part, which are connected in an L-shape; the rubber sleeve receiving portion 12 is arranged on the end face of the longitudinal part, and the other end of the horizontal part extends to the outside of the mobile phone. The sound guide channel with an L-shaped structure can further prevent dust and moisture from entering, thereby increasing the service life of the rubber sleeve and improving the sealing performance.
[0034] Compared to the prior art, the present invention provides a scratch-resistant structure for the MIC rubber sleeve of a mobile phone. The PCB board is assembled with the intermediate frame by oblique insertion. The waterproof rubber sleeve of the MIC device is arranged in the rubber sleeve receiving portion of the intermediate frame and is sealed with the PCB board after assembly. A C-shaped chamfer is provided on one side of the assembly where the PCB board and the intermediate frame are assembled. During the oblique insertion process, the chamfer is parallel to the main body of the intermediate frame to prevent the sharp corners of the PCB board from scratching the rubber sleeve, causing damage to the rubber sleeve and affecting its sealing and waterproof properties. The present invention provides a chamfer on one side of the PCB board, which can effectively protect the rubber sleeve, improve the rubber sleeve life, and increase the yield rate of mobile phones before delivery.
