Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic technology, and more specifically, to an electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] As users increasingly demand higher levels of intelligence from electronic devices, these devices are incorporating more and more functional components, such as barometers and other sensors. Typically, electronic devices also have through-holes penetrating their casing to ensure pressure balance between the inside and outside of the device, preventing pressure differences that could affect the accuracy of the barometer.

[0003] However, the through holes are easily clogged by sweat or other materials, causing a pressure difference between the inside and outside of the electronic device and reducing the accuracy of the barometer component. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides an electronic device.

[0005] The electronic device provided in this application includes a housing and a barometer assembly. The housing includes an inner side and an outer side, with a gas channel provided on the outer side. The gas channel includes at least one inlet and at least one outlet, allowing air to flow in from the inlet and out from the outlet. The housing has a through-hole penetrating both the inner and outer sides, with one end of the through-hole near the outer side located within the gas channel. The barometer assembly is disposed on the inner side, and the sensing end of the barometer assembly is connected to the through-hole.

[0006] In some embodiments, the number of through holes is at least two.

[0007] In some embodiments, the gas passage includes a bottom surface located between the outer and inner sides in the thickness direction of the housing. The bottom surface has a protrusion that does not extend beyond the outer side in the thickness direction of the housing, and the protrusion does not extend beyond the center of the through hole in the axial direction of the housing.

[0008] In some embodiments, the centers of all the through holes are located on the same straight line or the same arc, and the protrusion is located on the centerline of the straight line or the arc.

[0009] In some embodiments, the housing includes an upper surface and a lower surface facing away from each other, both the upper surface and the lower surface connecting the inner side and the outer side, and the projection of the protrusion on the upper surface is located between two projections of two adjacent through holes on the upper surface.

[0010] In some embodiments, the housing is further provided with a flow guide groove, which connects to the gas passage and extends to the lower surface of the housing.

[0011] In some embodiments, the inner side of the housing is provided with a receiving groove, and the barometer assembly is at least partially housed within the housing.

[0012] In some embodiments, the barometer assembly includes a barometer and a light shield; the receiving groove includes a first groove and a second groove, the first groove and the second groove are connected, the size of the first groove is larger than the size of the second groove to form a stepped surface, the first groove is used to accommodate the barometer assembly, the light shield abuts against the stepped surface and is provided with an air inlet communicating with the barometer, the second groove communicates with the through hole and the air inlet, and in the thickness direction of the housing, the air inlet is offset from the through hole.

[0013] In some embodiments, the barometer has an opening, and a light shield is disposed between the barometer and the housing, the light shield completely covering the opening in the thickness direction of the housing.

[0014] In some embodiments, the projection of the second groove onto the light shield covers the air inlet.

[0015] In some embodiments, the electronic device includes at least one of a watch, earphones, wristband, mobile phone, tablet computer, and laptop computer.

[0016] In the electronic device provided in this application, the housing utilizes through holes to connect the detection end of the barometer assembly with the gas channel, ensuring that the air pressure inside the housing is balanced with the air pressure outside the housing, thus avoiding pressure differences between the inside and outside. Simultaneously, the gas channel is located on the outer side of the housing. When the user carries the electronic device and moves, the user's sweat adheres to the outer side that is in contact with the user's skin, rather than adhering to the through holes in the gas channel that are not in contact with the user's skin. This prevents the through holes from being blocked by sweat and improves the accuracy of the barometer assembly.

[0031] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4 The electronic device 100 of this application includes a housing 10 and a barometer assembly 30, the barometer assembly 30 being mounted on the housing 10. Since the electronic device 100 in this embodiment includes a housing 10, it is understood that the electronic device 100 includes at least the same beneficial effects as the housing 10; therefore, the beneficial effects of the electronic device 100 are described below in the section on the beneficial effects of the housing 10. In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 includes at least one of a watch, earphones, a wristband, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, and a laptop computer. This application uses a watch as an example to illustrate the electronic device 100.

[0032] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the housing 10 is provided with a gas passage 11, a through hole 13, and a receiving groove 15. The gas passage 11 is located on the outer side 101 of the housing 10, and the receiving groove 15 is located on the inner side 102 of the housing 10 and is used to receive the barometer assembly 30. The gas passage 11 includes a bottom surface 111. In the thickness direction H of the housing 10, the bottom surface 111 is located between the outer side 101 and the inner side 102, and the through hole 13 is located on the bottom surface 111 and communicates the gas passage 11 and the receiving groove 15.

[0033] The housing 10 includes an outer side 101 and an inner side 102. The outer side 101 is provided with a gas passage 11, which includes at least one inlet 113 and at least one outlet 115, allowing air to flow in through the inlet 113 and out through the outlet 115. The housing 10 has a through-hole 13 penetrating both the outer side 101 and the inner side 102, with one end of the through-hole 13 located within the gas passage 11 near the outer side 101. A barometer assembly 30 is disposed on the inner side 102, and the sensing end of the barometer assembly 30 is connected to the through-hole 13.

[0034] Specifically, the housing 10 is a structure that houses the components of the electronic device 100. The housing 10 protects these components and provides a degree of water resistance, preventing external fluids from entering the housing 10. Other components include, but are not limited to, the barometer assembly 30 and circuit boards. The cross-sectional shape of the housing 10 can be, but is not limited to, circular, elliptical, rectangular, or other polygonal shapes. The material of the housing 10 can be plastic or metal. When the housing 10 is made of plastic, it offers good insulation, lower cost, and lighter weight. When the housing 10 is made of metal, it offers higher strength, better wear resistance, and a longer service life. In this application, the housing 10 includes an outer side 101 and an inner side 102. The outer side 101 is the side of the housing 10 that contacts the external environment, and the inner side 102 is the side located inside the housing 10.

[0035] The gas channel 11 includes a bottom surface 111 and a side surface surrounding the bottom surface 111. One end near the outer side 101 is located within the gas channel 11 and connects the gas channel 11 to the detection end of the barometer assembly 30. Thus, the gas channel 11, the through-hole 13, and the detection end of the barometer assembly 30 can form an airflow channel.

[0036] More specifically, the airflow (e.g., air) flows into the gas channel 11 from the inlet 113 and then into the through hole 13 from the outlet 115. It then enters the detection end of the barometer assembly 30 from the through hole 13. The detection end can detect the airflow entering the barometer assembly 30, thereby detecting the air pressure of the external environment. The airflow detected by the detection end enters the through hole 13 from the outlet 115, enters the gas channel 11 from the through hole 13, and then flows out from the inlet 113.

[0037] Along the thickness direction H of the housing 10, the bottom surface 111 is located between the outer side 101 and the inner side 102 of the housing 10, thus creating a certain distance between the through hole 13 and the outer side 101 of the housing 10. On one hand, when a user's sleeve or other object swings, the outer side 101 of the housing 10 can block the object, preventing it from swinging and blocking the through hole 13. On the other hand, the swinging of an object causes airflow disturbance, resulting in a certain deviation between the air pressure around the object and the external environment air pressure, leading to inaccurate air pressure detection data from the barometer assembly 30. The through hole 13 is located on the bottom surface 111 of the gas channel 11, thus providing sufficient clearance for the through hole 13, preventing disturbed airflow from entering the through hole 13 and being detected by the barometer assembly 30, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the barometer assembly 30's detection. On the other hand, when the housing 10 is easily exposed to fluids (such as in the case of rain or when the user sweats during exercise), the user's sweat will adhere to the outer side 101 that is in contact with the user's skin. Since the through hole 13 is separated from the outer side 101 of the housing 10, the sweat will not adhere to the bottom surface 111 that is not in contact with the user's skin, thereby preventing the through hole 13 from being blocked by sweat and improving the accuracy of the barometer assembly 30.

[0038] Preferably, the connection between the bottom surface 111 and the side surface is chamfered. The chamfer allows for a smooth transition between the bottom surface 111 and the side surface, preventing the formation of dead corners at the connection, avoiding dirt accumulation, and facilitating cleaning. The cross-sectional shape of the through-hole 13 includes, but is not limited to, a perfect circle, an ellipse, or a polygon. There can be one or multiple through-holes 13. In embodiments with multiple through-holes 13, the arrangement of the multiple through-holes 13 on the bottom surface 111 is unrestricted, including but not limited to multiple through-holes 13 arranged along the circumferential direction R of the housing 10, multiple through-holes 13 arranged in an array, or multiple through-holes 13 arranged in a labyrinthine pattern. In embodiments with multiple through-holes 13, the cross-sectional shapes of the multiple through-holes 13 can all be the same, partially the same, or all different.

[0039] The barometer assembly 30 is disposed on the inner side 102 of the housing 10. In some embodiments, the inner side 102 of the housing 10 is provided with a receiving groove 15 for accommodating the barometer assembly 30. In a projection plane perpendicular to the thickness direction H of the housing 10, the cross-sectional shape of the receiving groove 15 can be rectangular, circular, or other shapes. Preferably, the shape and size of the receiving groove 15 match the outer contour of the barometer assembly 30, thereby ensuring a tight fit between the barometer assembly 30 and the inner wall of the receiving groove 15. This further enhances the fixation and support of the receiving groove 15 for the barometer assembly 30, ensuring a stable installation of the barometer assembly 30 and preventing it from easily shifting or loosening. The receiving groove 15 also has a positioning effect, facilitating the installation of the barometer assembly 30.

[0040] The housing 10 of this application utilizes a receiving groove 15 to accommodate the barometer assembly 30, and a through hole 13 to connect the internal receiving groove 15 of the housing 10 with the external gas channel 11, ensuring that the air pressure inside the housing 10 is balanced with the air pressure outside the housing 10, avoiding pressure differences between the inside and outside. Simultaneously, the gas channel 11 is opened on the outer side 101 of the housing 10. When a user carries the electronic device 100 using the housing 10 and moves, the user's sweat will adhere to the outer side 101 that is in contact with the user's skin, rather than adhering to the bottom surface 111 that is not in contact with the user's skin, thereby preventing the through hole 13 from being blocked by sweat and improving the accuracy of the barometer assembly 30.

[0041] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the number of through holes 13 is at least two.

[0042] Specifically, the cross-sectional shapes of the two through holes 13 can be the same or different. For example, one through hole 13 can have a circular cross-sectional shape, while the other can be racetrack-shaped. The cross-sectional areas of the two through holes 13 can also be the same or different. In this application, both through holes 13 have circular cross-sectional shapes, and their cross-sectional areas are also the same. This facilitates the forming of the through holes 13 and simplifies the manufacturing process. Furthermore, circular holes have no sharp corners, making them less prone to accumulating dirt and grime.

[0043] The presence of two through-holes 13 provides redundancy. Even if one through-hole 13 is blocked by clothing or fluid, the other through-hole 13 ensures that gas can enter the barometer assembly 30, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the barometer assembly 30. Furthermore, the two through-holes 13 increase the path of airflow into the barometer assembly 30, improving the flow efficiency between the barometer assembly 30 and external airflow.

[0044] Furthermore, under conditions of excessive external air pressure (such as when a user is wearing a watch or cycling downhill at high speed), the external airflow velocity is too fast, which can easily lead to excessive gas entering the through-hole 13 and the receiving groove 15 containing the barometer assembly 30. This can easily cause inaccurate data from the barometer assembly 30 and excessive pressure in the receiving groove 15 and the barometer assembly 30, affecting the connection stability between the receiving groove 15 and the barometer assembly 30. The two through-holes 13 effectively allow external airflow to enter the receiving groove 15 through one through-hole 13 and exit through the other through-hole 13, thereby ensuring the stability of the airflow inside the receiving groove 15, ensuring the accuracy of the data detected by the barometer assembly 30, and also ensuring the connection stability between the receiving groove 15 and the barometer assembly 30.

[0045] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6In some embodiments, a protrusion 17 is provided on the bottom surface 111. In the thickness direction H of the housing 10, the protrusion 17 does not extend beyond the outer side 101, and in the axial direction X of the housing 10, the protrusion 17 does not extend beyond the center A of the through hole 13.

[0046] Specifically, the bottom surface 111 of the gas channel 11 is also provided with a protrusion 17. In some embodiments, the protrusion 17 and the housing 10 are an integral structure, that is, the protrusion 17 and the housing 10 are a single unit, thereby improving the bonding strength between the protrusion 17 and the housing 10 and preventing separation of the protrusion 17 and the housing 10 during operation of the electronic device 100, thus ensuring the stability and reliability of the electronic device 100. In other embodiments, the protrusion 17 and the housing 10 are separate structures, that is, the protrusion 17 and the housing 10 are two different structures. In one example, the protrusion 17 and the housing 10 can be joined together by a detachable connection method, including but not limited to snap-fit ​​connections or threaded connections. In another example, the protrusion 17 and the housing 10 can be joined together by a non-detachable connection method, including but not limited to bonding or welding. It should be noted that in some embodiments, the housing 10 may be made of a rigid material, such as polypropylene (PP), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer (ABS), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), etc. The material of the housing 10 and the protrusion 17 may be the same; for example, both the housing 10 and the protrusion 17 may be made of PP plastic. Alternatively, the materials of the housing 10 and the protrusion 17 may be different; for example, the housing 10 may be made of aluminum alloy, and the protrusion 17 may be made of ABS plastic.

[0047] The projection shape of the protrusion 17 on the projection plane perpendicular to the thickness direction H can be, but is not limited to, a circle, an ellipse, a rectangle, or other polygons. There can be one or more protrusions 17. In embodiments with multiple protrusions 17, the arrangement of the multiple protrusions 17 on the bottom surface 111 is unrestricted, including but not limited to multiple protrusions 17 arranged along the circumferential direction R of the housing 10, multiple protrusions 17 arranged in an array, or multiple protrusions 17 arranged in a maze shape. Preferably, the connection between the protrusion 17 and the bottom surface 111 is chamfered. The chamfer allows for a smooth transition between the protrusion 17 and the bottom surface 111, avoiding dead corners at the connection, preventing dirt accumulation, and facilitating cleaning of the connection.

[0048] If a user's sleeve or other object enters the gas channel 11, the protrusion 17 can support the object entering the gas channel 11, further preventing the object from blocking the through hole 13. In the thickness direction H of the housing 10, the protrusion 17 does not extend beyond the outer side 101, thus ensuring the consistency of the outer side 101 and improving aesthetics. Furthermore, it also prevents the protrusion 17 from contacting the user's arm, avoiding user discomfort. In the axial direction X of the housing 10, the protrusion 17 does not extend beyond the center A of the through hole 13, thus preventing the protrusion 17 from obstructing the through hole 13 and ensuring smooth airflow into the through hole 13.

[0049] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the center A of all through holes 13 is located on the same straight line or the same arc, and the protrusion 17 is located on the center line C of the straight line or arc.

[0050] Specifically, in embodiments with multiple through holes 13, the centers A of the multiple through holes 13 are located on the same straight line or the same arc. This simplifies the positional relationship of the multiple through holes 13, facilitates their manufacturing, and enhances the aesthetics of the housing 10. The extension direction of the same straight line or arc where the centers A of the multiple through holes 13 are located can be any direction of the outer side 101 of the housing 10. In the embodiments of this application, the centers A of all through holes 13 are located on the arc of the circumferential R of the housing 10, and the protrusions 17 (e.g., the first protrusion 171) are located on the centerline C of the straight line or arc. This facilitates the positioning and manufacturing of the protrusions 17. Furthermore, the protrusions 17 being located on the centerline C of the straight line or arc provides consistent support to both sides of the centerline C in the circumferential R direction, further preventing objects from blocking the through holes 13.

[0051] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the housing 10 includes an upper surface 103 and a lower surface 104 facing away from each other. The upper surface 103 and the lower surface 104 are both connected to the inner side 102 and the outer side 101. The projection of the protrusion 17 on the upper surface 103 is located between the two projections of the two adjacent through holes 13 on the upper surface 103.

[0052] Specifically, the upper surface 103 and the lower surface 104 are two surfaces along the axial direction X of the housing 10. The projection of the protrusion 17 (e.g., the second protrusion 173) on the upper surface 103 is located between the two projections of adjacent through holes 13 on the upper surface 103. That is, a protrusion 17 is provided between two adjacent through holes 13 in the circumferential direction R of the housing 10. The protrusion 17 is located between two adjacent through holes 13 and is relatively close to the two through holes 13, which can support objects entering the gas channel 11, further improving the protection effect on the two adjacent through holes 13 and preventing objects from blocking the through holes 13.

[0053] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the housing 10 is further provided with a guide groove 19, which connects to the gas channel 11 and extends to the lower surface 104 of the housing 10.

[0054] Specifically, the flow guide 19 is used to guide the flow of fluid. The shape of the flow guide 19 projected onto the outer side 101 can be rectangular, circular, or other shapes. In this application, the shape of the flow guide 19 projected onto the outer side 101 is elliptical. An ellipse has no sharp corners, making it less prone to accumulating dirt. In situations where the watch is likely to come into contact with fluid, such as during rain or user movement, fluid can easily enter the gas channel 11 and block the through hole 13. The flow guide 19 connects to the gas channel 11 and extends to the lower surface 104 of the housing 10, guiding moisture out of the gas channel 11 and preventing fluid from accumulating in it. This avoids both fluid clogging the through hole 13 and fluid entering the housing 10 through the through hole 13, thus preventing damage to the barometer assembly 30. In the embodiments of this application, the circumferential dimension R of the flow guide 19 is larger than the circumferential dimension R of the gas channel 11, and the volume of the flow guide 19 is larger than the volume of the gas channel 11. Thus, the guide channel 19 has a larger volume to guide and collect fluid, preventing fluid from accumulating in the gas channel 11 and further reducing the risk of fluid clogging the through hole 13.

[0055] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the barometer assembly 30 includes a barometer 31 and a light shield 33. The receiving groove 15 includes a first groove 151 and a second groove 153, which are connected. The size of the first groove 151 is larger than that of the second groove 153 to form a stepped surface 35. The first groove 151 is used to accommodate the barometer assembly 30. The light shield 33 abuts against the stepped surface 35 and is provided with an air inlet 331 that communicates with the barometer 31. The second groove 153 communicates with the through hole 13 and the air inlet 331. In the thickness direction H of the housing 10, the air inlet 331 is offset from the through hole 13.

[0056] Specifically, the barometer 31 is used to detect the air pressure of the external environment. The first groove 151 is used to house the barometer 31. The shape and size of the first groove 151 at least partially match the outer contour of the barometer 31, thereby ensuring a tight fit between the barometer 31 and the inner wall of the first groove 151. This further enhances the fixation and support of the first groove 151 for the barometer 31, ensuring a stable installation of the barometer 31 and preventing it from shifting or loosening. The first groove 151 also has a positioning effect, facilitating the installation of the barometer 31. In one example, the barometer 31 and the inner wall of the first groove 151 can be joined together using a detachable connection method, including but not limited to snap-fit ​​connections or threaded connections. In another example, the barometer 31 and the inner wall of the first groove 151 can be joined together using a non-detachable connection method, including but not limited to bonding or welding. The second groove 153 is used to accommodate a portion of the airflow.

[0057] The light shield 33 is used to block some of the light entering the first slot 151 through the through hole 13. The light shield 33 is provided with an air inlet 331. The second slot 153 is connected to the through hole 13 and the air inlet 331. In this way, the airflow can enter the second slot 153 through the through hole 13, then enter the first slot 151, and then enter the opening 311 of the barometer 31, and then enter the barometer 31. The air inlet 331 is offset from the through hole 13. In this way, external light can be prevented from entering the through hole 13 and then directly entering the air inlet 331, thus preventing the barometer 31 from being exposed to direct sunlight and improving the life of the barometer 31.

[0058] The second groove 153 can accommodate a portion of the airflow. Furthermore, the second groove 153 has a larger area than the through-hole 13 in its projection perpendicular to the thickness direction H. It is understood that as airflow enters the through-hole 13 from the external environment, the smaller volume of the through-hole causes an increase in air pressure. The second groove 153 can stabilize the airflow entering from the through-hole 13, maintaining a balance between the air pressure in the second groove 153 and the external air pressure, reducing airflow disturbance, and thus improving the accuracy of the data detected by the barometer 31.

[0059] The light-shielding plate 33 can be connected to the barometer 31, the stepped surface 35, or both. The connection can be detachable, including but not limited to snap-fit ​​or threaded connections. Alternatively, it can be non-detachable, including but not limited to bonding or welding. Furthermore, a buffer can be provided between the light-shielding plate 33 and the stepped surface 35. This buffer can be made of soft and elastic materials such as silicone, rubber, or polyvinyl chloride. Rubber materials include, but are not limited to, natural rubber, nitrile rubber, fluororubber, polyurethane rubber, EPDM rubber, or silicone rubber. The buffer can return to its original shape after being subjected to force, effectively absorbing and dispersing the force. The buffer, located between the light-shielding plate 33 and the stepped surface 35, can buffer the shell 10 when subjected to external forces, dispersing and absorbing the force, reducing direct damage to the light-shielding plate 33, and protecting it from structural damage. Furthermore, a seal can be provided between the light-shielding plate 33 and the stepped surface 35. The seal can seal the gap between the light-shielding plate 33 and the stepped surface 35, preventing fluid from flowing into the housing 10 from the gap and improving the waterproofness of the electronic device 100. In addition, the seal is low in cost and does not occupy additional installation space.

[0060] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the barometer 31 has an opening 311, and a light shield 33 is disposed between the barometer 31 and the housing 10. In the thickness direction H of the housing 10, the light shield 33 completely covers the opening 311.

[0061] Specifically, the barometer 31 has an opening 311 for airflow to enter and exit, thereby detecting air pressure. In some embodiments, the barometer assembly 30 also includes a photosensitive element, and a light shield 33 is disposed between the barometer 31 and the housing 10. In this way, after external light enters the through hole 13, the light shield 33 can block the light from directly shining on the photosensitive element, thereby protecting the photosensitive element and extending the service life of the barometer assembly 30.

[0062] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the projection of the second groove 153 onto the light shield 33 covers the air inlet 331.

[0063] Specifically, the projection of the second groove 153 onto the light shield 33 covers the air inlet 331. This ensures that after the airflow enters the second groove 153 through the through hole 13, it can enter the first groove 151 through the air inlet 331, so that the air pressure of the airflow in the second groove 153 is balanced with the external air pressure, reducing airflow disturbance and thus improving the accuracy of the barometer 31's detection data.
