DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0030] The following describes exemplary embodiments of the present application in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present application are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present application can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments described herein. Instead, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present application and to fully convey the scope of the present application to those skilled in the art.
[0031] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the present application provides an electronic device 1, comprising:
[0032] A middle frame 11, wherein the middle frame 11 has a groove body 12, and the groove body 12 has a first side wall 121;
[0033] The battery cover 13 is disposed in the groove body 12. The battery cover 13 has a first surface 131 and a second surface 132. A second side wall 133 is provided between the first surface 131 and the second surface 132 of the battery cover 13. The second side wall 133 is arranged at an angle to the first side wall 121 so that the battery cover 13 and the middle frame 11 form a deformation space 14.
[0034] In this embodiment, the middle frame 11 is a portion of the electronic device 1, extending beyond the screen of the electronic device 1. It is used to protect the electronic device 1 and can be made of metal or plastic. The groove 12 is a groove cut along the thickness of the middle frame 11, and the first sidewall 121 of the groove 12 is a sidewall of the groove. The battery cover 13 is used to cover the battery and protect it. The battery cover 13 can be made of plastic or metal. The junction between the first sidewall 121 and the first surface 122 is rounded, and the junction between the second sidewall 133 and the second surface 132 is also rounded.
[0035] An electronic device 1 provided in an embodiment of the present application includes a middle frame 11 and a battery cover 13. The middle frame 11 is formed with a slot 12 that accommodates the battery cover 13. The battery cover 13 has a first surface 131 and a second surface 132. One of the first surface 131 and the second surface 132 of the battery cover 13 extends into the slot 12 and connects to the middle frame 11, while the other surface of the battery cover 13 is disposed away from the middle frame 11 and faces outward. The battery cover 13 has a second sidewall 133 between the first surface 131 and the second surface 132. The second sidewall 133 is configured to connect the first side 131 and the second side 132, and the second sidewall 133 of the battery cover 13 is disposed opposite the first sidewall 121 of the slot 12. When the battery cover 13 is installed in the slot 12 of the middle frame 11, the first sidewall 121 of the slot 12 and the second sidewall 133 of the battery cover 13 form an angle, thereby forming a deformation space 14 between the battery cover 13 and the middle frame 11. Thus, when the electronic device 1 falls, the battery cover 13 and the middle frame 11 have a deformation space 14, and the battery cover 13 will slide out of the deformation space 14, so that the second side wall 133 of the battery cover 13 will reduce the probability of hard collision with the first side wall 121 of the middle frame 11, greatly reducing the falling strain of the battery cover 13. The strain is that an object will produce a certain deformation under the action of external force, reducing the risk of the battery cover 13 being broken due to collision. The electronic device 1 provided by this application is Figure 6 and Figure 7 The simulation test shown in the figure shows that after the electronic device 1 falls, the strain is reduced from the original 2.1×10 2 Reduced to 1.4×10 2 , the strain rate of the battery cover 13 is reduced by 33%, and the improvement effect is obvious.
[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, an elastic member 15 is provided between the second side wall 133 and the first side wall 121 .
[0037] In this embodiment, the elastic member 15 is an elastic structure, and may be a rubber gasket, a spring, or other elastic structures.
[0038] In this embodiment, when the battery cover 13 is installed in the groove body 12 of the middle frame 11, the second side wall 133 of the battery cover 13 is arranged opposite to the first side wall 121 of the groove body 12, and there is an angle between the second side wall 133 of the battery cover 13 and the first side wall 121 of the groove body 12 to form a deformation space 14. An elastic member 15 is provided in the deformation space 14. The elastic member 15 can be fixed on the side of the first side wall 121 facing the second side wall 133, or on the side of the second side wall 133 facing the first side wall 121. Therefore, when the electronic device 1 falls, the battery cover 13 and the middle frame 11 have a deformation space 14, and the battery cover 13 will slide out of the deformation space 14, so that the second side wall 133 of the battery cover 13 will reduce the probability of a hard collision with the first side wall 121 of the middle frame 11. If the battery cover 13 collides, it will collide with the elastic member 15, or the elastic member 15 will collide with other structures, thereby avoiding a direct collision of the battery cover 13, thereby further reducing the falling strain of the battery cover 13 and further reducing the risk of the battery cover 13 being broken due to collision.
[0039] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in the embodiment of the present application, the middle frame 11 has a first surface 122 , the first surface 122 has the groove body 12 , and the groove body 12 has a first bottom surface 123 adjacent to the first side wall 121 ;
[0040] The battery cover 13 is disposed in the tank 12 , with the first surface 131 facing the first bottom surface 123 .
[0041] In this embodiment, the middle frame 11 has a first surface 122, and a groove body 12 is dug on the first surface 122. The bottom surface of the groove body 12 is a first bottom surface 123, and the side surface of the groove body 12 is a first side wall 121. When the battery cover 13 is installed with the middle frame 11, the battery cover 13 is placed in the groove body 12 formed by the middle frame 11. At this time, the first surface 131 of the battery cover 13 is fixedly attached to the first bottom surface 123 of the groove body 12, and the second surface 132 of the battery cover 13 is away from the first bottom surface 123 of the groove body 12. Facing outward, the second side wall 133 of the battery cover 13 is arranged opposite to the first side wall 121 of the trough body 12. There is an angle between the second side wall 133 of the battery cover 13 and the first side wall 121 of the trough body 12, and there is a gap between the two. They are not directly connected, so that a deformation space 14 is formed between the battery cover 13 and the middle frame 11 to prevent the second side wall 133 of the battery cover 13 from colliding with the first side wall 121 of the middle frame 11 when the electronic device 1 falls, thereby reducing the risk of the battery cover 13 being broken due to collision.
[0042] like Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, in another embodiment of the present application, the first side wall 121 and the first bottom surface 123 meet the vertical condition; the angle between the second side wall 133 and the first surface 131 is an obtuse angle.
[0043] In this embodiment, satisfying the perpendicularity condition may mean that the two are approximately perpendicular to each other.
[0044] In this embodiment, a groove 12 is formed on the first surface 122 of the middle frame 11. The bottom surface of the groove 12 is a first bottom surface 123, and one sidewall of the groove 12 is a first sidewall 121. The first bottom surface 123 and the second sidewall 133 are perpendicular to each other, that is, the first bottom surface 123 and the first sidewall 121 are approximately perpendicular. However, the angle between the first surface 131 and the first sidewall 121 of the battery cover 13 is obtuse, so that the second sidewall 133 of the battery cover 13 does not fit the first sidewall 121 of the middle frame 11. The first sidewall 121 and the second sidewall 133 have an angle between them, that is, the second sidewall 133 of the battery cover 13 has an outwardly sliding inclined surface, forming a deformation space 14 between the first sidewall 121 and the second sidewall 133. In this case, the angle between the first sidewall 121 and the second sidewall 121 is between 15° and 20°. Therefore, when the electronic device 1 falls, the second side wall 133 of the battery cover 13 will slide outward to slide off the first side wall 121, thereby avoiding collision between the first side wall 121 of the battery cover 13 and the second side wall 133 of the middle frame 11, greatly reducing the falling strain of the battery cover 13 and reducing the risk of the battery cover 13 being broken due to collision.
[0045] In this embodiment, the included angle between the first side walls 121 and the first side walls 121 may be 20°.
[0046] like Figure 3 As shown, in another embodiment of the present application, the angle between the first side wall 121 and the first bottom surface 123 is an obtuse angle, the angle between the second side wall 133 and the first surface 131 is an obtuse angle, and the first side wall 121 and the second side wall 133 are adaptively connected.
[0047] In this embodiment, a groove 12 is formed on the first surface 122 of the middle frame 11. The bottom surface of the groove 12 is a first bottom surface 123, and one sidewall of the groove 12 is a first sidewall 121. The angle between the first bottom surface 123 and the second sidewall 133 is an obtuse angle, that is, the first sidewall 121 is an outward-facing inclined sidewall. The angle between the first surface 131 and the first sidewall 121 of the battery cover 13 is also an obtuse angle, that is, the second sidewall 133 of the battery cover 13 is an inclined surface facing the middle frame 11, and the second sidewall 133 of the battery cover 13 is adapted to the first sidewall 121 of the middle frame 11, that is, the first sidewall 121 and the second sidewall 133 can be in contact with each other. Therefore, when the electronic device 1 falls, the first side wall 121 of the middle frame 11 will assist the second side wall 133 of the battery cover 13 to slide outward so as to slide off the first side wall 121, thereby avoiding collision between the first side wall 121 of the battery cover 13 and the second side wall 133 of the middle frame 11, greatly reducing the falling strain of the battery cover 13 and reducing the risk of the battery cover 13 being broken due to collision.
[0048] In the embodiment of the present application, the battery cover 13 is disposed in the tank 12 , and the second surface 132 is connected to the first surface 122 ;
[0049] The distance between the first surface 131 and the first sidewall 121 is shorter than the length of the second sidewall 133 .
[0050] In this embodiment, when the battery cover 13 is disposed in the groove 12 of the middle frame 11 , the first surface 131 of the battery cover 13 is connected to the first bottom surface 123 of the middle frame 11 , and the second surface 132 of the battery cover 13 is connected to the first surface 122 of the middle frame 11 . When the vertical condition is met between the first bottom surface 123 and the first side wall 121 of the middle frame 11, when the battery cover 13 extends into the groove body 12 of the middle frame 11 and is connected to the middle frame 11, there is a gap between the first surface 131 of the battery cover 13 and the first side wall 121 of the middle frame 11, and the length of the gap between the first surface 131 of the battery cover 13 and the first side wall 121 is less than the length of the second side wall 133, thereby forming a triangular deformation space 14 between the first side wall 121 and the second side wall 133, so that when the electronic device 1 falls, the second side wall 133 of the battery cover 13 can slide out of the middle frame 11 from the triangular deformation space 14, thereby reducing the impact and extrusion of the battery cover 13 and the middle frame 11, and thereby reducing the maximum deformation of the battery cover 13.
[0051] In the embodiment of the present application, the first surface 131 of the battery cover 13 is connected to the first bottom surface 123 via an adhesive 16 , and the adhesive 16 is located on one side of the deformation space 14 .
[0052] In this embodiment, the adhesive 16 is an adhesive used to connect the first surface 131 of the battery cover 13 to the first bottom surface 123 of the middle frame 11 .
[0053] In this embodiment, when the battery cover 13 extends into the groove 12 of the middle frame 11, the first surface 131 of the battery cover 13 is connected to the first bottom surface 123 of the groove 12 formed by the middle frame 11 via adhesive 16. This prevents relative movement between the battery cover 13 and the middle frame 11 during normal use and also provides waterproof and moisture-proof properties. The adhesive 16 is located on one side of the deformation space 14. Therefore, if the electronic device 1 is dropped, the adhesive 16 may damage the first surface 131 of the battery cover 13 or the first bottom surface 123 of the middle frame 11, causing the battery cover 13 to detach from the middle frame 11. Within the deformation space 14 formed by the battery cover 13 and the middle frame 11, the battery cover 13 slides out of the deformation space 14, thereby reducing the impact and compression between the battery cover 13 and the middle frame 11 during the drop, thereby reducing the maximum deformation of the battery cover 13.
[0054] In the embodiment of the present application, the size of the second surface 132 is adapted to the size of the trough body 12 , the second surface 132 is arranged opposite to the first surface 131 , and the size of the first surface 131 is smaller than the size of the second surface 132 .
[0055] In this embodiment, when the battery cover 13 is connected to the middle frame 11, the battery cover 13 extends into the slot 12 of the middle frame 11. The first surface 131 of the battery cover 13 is disposed opposite the first bottom surface 123 of the middle frame 11 and connected via adhesive 16. The second surface 132 of the battery cover 13 faces outward. A second sidewall 133 is defined between the first and second surfaces 131, 132 of the battery cover 13. The angle between the second sidewall 133 and the first surface 131 is obtuse. The first surface 131 of the battery cover 13 is smaller than the second surface 132, resulting in the second sidewall 133 being inclined toward the deformation space 14. This facilitates the second sidewall 133 of the battery cover 13 from sliding out of the deformation space 14 when the electronic device 1 is dropped, reducing the probability of deformation of the battery cover 13. Furthermore, the dimensions of the second surface 132 of the battery cover 13 match those of the slot 12, allowing the battery cover 13 to fully extend into the slot 12, enhancing the appearance of the electronic device 1.
[0056] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in the embodiment of the present application, the first bottom surface 123 has a connection area 1231 and a non-connection area 1232, and the first bottom surface 123 is connected to the first surface 131 through the connection area 1231; the non-connection area 1232 is close to one end of the first side wall 121 for forming the deformation space 14.
[0057] In this embodiment, the connection region 1231 is a region connecting the first surface 131 and the first bottom surface 123, and the non-connection region 1232 is a region not connected to the first bottom surface 123. The length of the non-connection region 1232 may be between 0.8 mm and 1 mm.
[0058] In this embodiment, when the battery cover 13 is assembled with the middle frame 11, the first surface 131 of the battery cover 13 is connected to the first bottom surface 123 of the middle frame 11. A connection region 1231 and a non-connection region 1232 are provided on the first bottom surface 123 of the middle frame 11. The connection region 1231 is connected to the first surface 131 via adhesive 16, while the non-connection region 1232 of the first bottom surface 123 is not provided with adhesive 16. As a result, the non-connection region 1232 of the first bottom surface 123 is not directly connected to the first surface 131. The connection region 1231 on the first surface 131 is located farther away from the second side wall 133 than the non-connection region 1232, i.e., the non-connection region 1232 is provided near the second side wall 133. The battery cover 13 has a first surface 131, a second surface 132 and a second side wall 133. A portion of the non-connected area 1232 is arranged corresponding to the second side wall 133 of the battery cover 13. The non-connected area 1232 and the first side wall 121 and the second side wall 133 form a deformation space 14 so that when the electronic device 1 falls, the second side wall 133 of the battery cover 13 slides out of the deformation space 14, thereby reducing the probability of deformation of the battery cover 13.
[0059] like Figure 4 As shown, in the embodiment of the present application, the first surface 131 of the battery cover 13 is provided with a first connecting portion 134, and the second surface 132 of the battery cover 13 is provided with a second connecting portion 135. The first connecting portion 134 and the second connecting portion 135 are both in contact with the first side wall 121, and the second side wall 133 is arranged at an angle to the first side wall 121 to form a deformation space 14.
[0060] In this embodiment, the battery cover 13 has a first surface 131, a second surface 132, and a second side wall 133. The first surface 131 of the battery cover 13 faces the first bottom surface 123 of the middle frame 11, and the second surface 132 of the battery cover 13 faces away from the first surface 131 of the middle frame 11. A first connecting portion 134 is provided on the first surface 131 of the battery cover 13, and a second connecting portion 135 is provided on the second surface 132 of the battery cover 13. The first connecting portion 134 on the first surface 131 and the second connecting portion 135 on the second surface 132 are both provided close to the second side wall 133. When the battery cover 13 is installed on the middle frame 11, the first connecting portion 134 on the first surface 131 and the second connecting portion 135 on the second surface 132 both abut against the first side wall 121 of the middle frame 11, thereby changing the original plane contact to point contact. This facilitates the separation between the first side wall 121 and the second side wall 133 when the electronic device 1 falls, facilitates the battery cover 13 to slide out of the deformation space 14, and reduces the probability of deformation of the battery cover 13.
[0061] In this embodiment, the battery cover 13 is arranged in the groove body 12 of the middle frame 11. The groove body 12 of the middle frame 11 has a first side wall 121. A deformation space is formed between the first side wall 121 and the second side wall 133 of the battery cover 13 and all surrounding side walls. All side walls include two symmetrically arranged side walls adjacent to the second side wall 133.
[0062] It is understood that the related features in the above devices can be referenced to each other. In addition, the "first", "second", etc. in the above embodiments are used to distinguish between the embodiments, and do not represent the advantages and disadvantages of the embodiments.
