Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] The foldable electronic device consists of two frames hinged together, each equipped with a magnet. When the two frames are folded, the magnets attract each other, ensuring the device closes stably. However, during transportation and assembly, the magnets can easily fall off or become misaligned, preventing the foldable electronic device from closing effectively.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, related technologies incorporate steel sheets within the foldable electronic device. Multiple magnets are simultaneously bonded to the bottom of the steel sheet, which is then fixed to the frame using adhesive. In other words, multiple magnets are connected to the frame via the steel sheet. However, a certain repulsive force exists between these magnets. Under certain conditions, when the adhesive force between the magnet and the steel sheet is less than the repulsive force, the magnet may be pushed up or even detach, affecting the stability of the foldable electronic device when closed. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application aims to provide an electronic device that solves the problem in related technologies where fixing multiple magnets with steel sheets cannot guarantee the stability of foldable electronic devices when closed.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application is implemented as follows:

[0006] This application provides an electronic device comprising: at least two frames, wherein any two adjacent frames are hinged together, and each frame has at least one mounting slot; a magnetic assembly, wherein each mounting slot has a magnetic assembly, and when the multiple frames are in a folded state, the magnetic assemblies on any two adjacent frames are arranged opposite each other and are magnetically attracted to each other; each magnetic assembly includes: a magnetic element, the outer surface of which has a first mating portion; a connector, the connector including a connecting plate, the connecting plate being connected between the magnetic element and the bottom of the mounting slot, the first mating portion being located on one side of the end face of the magnetic element opposite to the connector, and the connector and / or the frame having a second mating portion; wherein the first mating portion and the second mating portion are mutually restrictive.

[0007] In embodiments of this application, the electronic device includes at least two frames and a magnetic assembly.

[0008] At least one of the two frames is provided with at least one mounting slot. There are multiple magnetic assemblies. Each mounting slot contains one magnetic assembly. That is, the mounting slot serves as the mounting carrier for the magnetic assemblies, and has the function of installing and fixing the magnetic assemblies.

[0009] Any two adjacent frames in a multi-frame configuration are hinged together, allowing the frames to switch between an unfolded and folded state. When the frames are folded, the magnetic groups on any two adjacent frames are positioned opposite each other and are magnetically attracted to each other to ensure the proper fit of the frames.

[0010] Each magnetic assembly includes a magnetic component and a connector. The connector includes a connecting plate that connects the magnetic component to the bottom of the mounting groove. That is, the magnetic component is assembled to the bottom of the mounting groove via the connecting plate of the connector.

[0011] The magnetic component has a first mating portion on its outer surface, located on one side of the end face opposite to the connector. The connector has a second mating portion. Alternatively, the magnetic component has a first mating portion on its outer surface, located on one side of the end face opposite to the connector, and the frame has a second mating portion. Or, the magnetic component has a first mating portion on its outer surface, located on one side of the end face opposite to the connector, and the connector and frame both have a second mating portion. That is, the magnetic component serves as the carrier of the first mating portion, and at least one of the connector and the frame serves as the carrier of the second mating portion. The first and second mating portions are mutually restrictive and engaged.

[0012] Optionally, the first mating portion includes a protrusion, and the second mating portion includes a recess. Alternatively, the first mating portion includes a recess, and the second mating portion includes a protrusion. The protrusion is used to engage with the recess. The engagement of the protrusion and the recess can limit and fix the magnetic component from multiple directions and angles.

[0013] When the connector has a second mating part, the magnetic component is connected to the frame through the connector's connecting plate, and the magnetic component is also limited and fitted with the second mating part of the connector through the first mating part. This design enriches the assembly methods of the connector and the magnetic component and increases the assembly area between them. In other words, it enhances the assembly bonding force between the frame and the magnetic assembly, effectively resisting the repulsive force between the multiple magnets of the magnetic component, ensuring the effective mating dimensions between the magnetic component and the frame, preventing the magnetic assembly from detaching from the frame, and effectively improving the stability and reliability of the electronic device when closed.

[0014] When the frame has a second mating part, the magnetic component is connected to the frame through the connecting plate of the connector, and the magnetic component is also limited and fitted with the second mating part of the frame through the first mating part. This design enriches the assembly methods of the frame and the magnetic component and increases the assembly area between the frame and the magnetic component. That is, it enhances the assembly bonding force between the frame and the magnetic assembly, thus effectively resisting the repulsive force between the multiple magnets of the magnetic component, ensuring the effective mating dimensions between the magnetic component and the frame, preventing the magnetic assembly from detaching from the frame, and effectively improving the stability and reliability of the electronic device when it is closed.

[0032] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1 to 8 This application describes the electronic device 10 provided in an embodiment.

[0033] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 7As shown, an electronic device 10 according to some embodiments of this application includes: at least two frames 100, any two adjacent frames 100 are hinged together, and each frame 100 is provided with at least one mounting groove 110; a magnetic group 200, each mounting groove 110 is provided with a magnetic group 200, and when the multiple frames 100 are in a folded state, the magnetic groups 200 on any two adjacent frames 100 are arranged opposite each other and magnetically attracted to each other; each magnetic group 200 includes: a magnetic element 210, the outer surface of the magnetic element 210 is provided with a first mating part 300; a connector 220, the connector 220 includes a connecting plate 222, the connecting plate 222 is connected between the magnetic element 210 and the bottom 112 of the mounting groove, the first mating part 300 is located on one side of the end face opposite to the magnetic element 210 and the connector 220, and the connector 220 and / or the frame 100 are provided with a second mating part 400; wherein the first mating part 300 and the second mating part 400 are mutually limiting and engaged.

[0034] In embodiments of this application, the electronic device 10 includes at least two frames 100 and a magnetic assembly 200.

[0035] At least one of the two frames 100 is provided with at least one mounting slot 110. There are multiple magnetic assemblies 200. Each mounting slot 110 contains one magnetic assembly 200. That is, the mounting slot 110 serves as a mounting carrier for the magnetic assembly 200, and has the function of installing and fixing the magnetic assembly 200.

[0036] Any two adjacent frames 100 are hinged, and the multiple frames 100 can switch between an unfolded state and a folded state. When the multiple frames 100 are in the folded state, the magnetic groups 200 on any two adjacent frames 100 are arranged opposite each other, and the magnetic groups 200 on any two adjacent frames 100 are magnetically attracted to each other to ensure the fit dimensions of the multiple frames 100.

[0037] Each magnetic assembly 200 includes a magnetic element 210 and a connector 220. The connector 220 includes a connecting plate 222, which connects the magnetic element 210 and the bottom 112 of the mounting groove. That is, the magnetic element 210 is assembled with the bottom 112 of the mounting groove through the connecting plate 222 of the connector 220.

[0038] The outer surface of the magnetic component 210 is provided with a first mating portion 300, located on one side of the end face opposite to the connector 220. The connector 220 is provided with a second mating portion 400. Alternatively, the outer surface of the magnetic component 210 is provided with the first mating portion 300, located on one side of the end face opposite to the connector 220, and the frame 100 is provided with the second mating portion 400. Alternatively, the outer surface of the magnetic component 210 is provided with the first mating portion 300, located on one side of the end face opposite to the connector 220, and the connector 220 is provided with the second mating portion 400, and the frame 100 is also provided with the second mating portion 400. That is, the magnetic component 210 serves as the carrier of the first mating portion 300, and at least one of the connector 220 and the frame 100 serves as the carrier of the second mating portion 400. The first mating portion 300 and the second mating portion 400 are mutually restrictive and engaged.

[0039] Optionally, the first mating portion 300 includes a protrusion, and the second mating portion 400 includes a recess. Alternatively, the first mating portion 300 includes a recess, and the second mating portion 400 includes a protrusion. The protrusion is used to engage with the recess. The engagement of the protrusion and the recess can limit and fix the magnetic component 210 from multiple directions and angles.

[0040] When the connector 220 is provided with the second mating part 400, the magnetic component 210 is connected to the frame 100 through the connecting plate 222 of the connector 220, and the magnetic component 210 is also limited to the second mating part 400 of the connector 220 through the first mating part 300. This arrangement enriches the assembly methods of the connector 220 and the magnetic component 210 and increases the assembly area of ​​the connector 220 and the magnetic component 210. That is, it enhances the assembly bonding force between the frame 100 and the magnetic assembly 200, thus effectively resisting the repulsive force between the multiple magnets 212 of the magnetic component 210, ensuring the effective mating dimensions between the magnetic component 210 and the frame 100, preventing the magnetic assembly 200 from detaching from the frame 100, and effectively improving the stability and reliability of the electronic device 10 when closed.

[0041] When the frame 100 is provided with the second mating part 400, the magnetic component 210 is connected to the frame 100 through the connecting plate 222 of the connector 220, and the magnetic component 210 is also limited to the second mating part 400 of the frame 100 through the first mating part 300. This arrangement enriches the assembly methods of the frame 100 and the magnetic component 210 and increases the assembly area of ​​the frame 100 and the magnetic component 210. That is, it enhances the assembly bonding force between the frame 100 and the magnetic assembly 200, thus effectively resisting the repulsive force between the multiple magnets 212 of the magnetic component 210, ensuring the effective mating dimensions between the magnetic component 210 and the frame 100, preventing the magnetic assembly 200 from detaching from the frame 100, and effectively improving the stability and reliability of the electronic device 10 when closed.

[0042] It is understood that each mounting slot 110 is provided with a magnetic assembly 200. This arrangement ensures the effectiveness of the assembly between the frame 100 and the magnetic component 210, while also preventing the size of the frame 100 from increasing along the direction from the opening of the mounting slot 110 to the bottom 112 of the mounting slot.

[0043] Optionally, each frame 100 is provided with a mounting slot 110, and each mounting slot 110 contains a magnetic assembly 200.

[0044] Optionally, each frame 100 is provided with a plurality of mounting slots 110, and each mounting slot 110 contains a magnetic assembly 200. The plurality of mounting slots 110 are arranged at intervals.

[0045] Optionally, the number of frames 100 may include 2, 3, 4, and 5, etc., which will not be listed here.

[0046] In this embodiment, when the number of frames 100 is greater than two, three adjacent frames 100 are respectively designated as the first frame 100, the second frame 100, and the third frame 100. One end of the second frame 100 is hinged to the first frame 100, and the other end of the second frame 100 is hinged to the third frame 100. The number of magnetic groups 200 on the first frame 100, the second frame 100, and the third frame 100 are equal. When the first frame 100, the second frame 100, and the third frame 100 are in a folded state, the magnetic groups 200 on the second frame 100 are magnetically attracted to the magnetic groups 200 on the first frame 100, and the magnetic groups 200 on the second frame 100 are magnetically attracted to the magnetic groups 200 on the third frame 100.

[0047] In some other embodiments, when the number of frames 100 is greater than two, three adjacent frames 100 are respectively designated as the first frame 100, the second frame 100, and the third frame 100. One end of the second frame 100 is hinged to the first frame 100, and the other end of the second frame 100 is hinged to the third frame 100. The number of magnetic groups 200 on the second frame 100 is greater than the number of magnetic groups 200 on the first frame 100, and the number of magnetic groups 200 on the second frame 100 is greater than the number of magnetic groups 200 on the third frame 100. When the first frame 100, the second frame 100, and the third frame 100 are in a folded state, a portion of the magnetic groups 200 on the second frame 100 are magnetically attracted to the magnetic groups 200 on the first frame 100, and another portion of the magnetic groups 200 on the second frame 100 are magnetically attracted to the magnetic groups 200 on the third frame 100.

[0048] Optionally, the electronic device 10 may be a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone, a wearable device, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a mobile computer, an augmented reality device (also known as an AR (Augmented Reality) device), a virtual reality device (also known as a VR (Virtual Reality) device), and a handheld game console, etc.

[0049] In some embodiments, one of the first mating portion 300 and the second mating portion 400 includes a convex portion and the other includes a concave portion.

[0050] In this embodiment, the structures of the first mating part 300 and the second mating part 400 are further defined.

[0051] One of the first mating part 300 and the second mating part 400 includes a protrusion, and the other includes a recess. That is, the first mating part 300 includes a protrusion, and the second mating part 400 includes a recess. Alternatively, the first mating part 300 includes a recess, and the second mating part 400 includes a protrusion. The protrusion and the recess are engaged and connected.

[0052] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, the first mating part 300 is disposed opposite to the groove sidewall 114 of the mounting groove.

[0053] In this embodiment, the location of the first mating part 300 is further defined.

[0054] The first mating part 300 is disposed opposite to the side wall 114 of the mounting groove.

[0055] When the connector 220 is provided with a second mating part 400, the second mating part 400 located between the side of the magnetic component 210 and the groove sidewall 114 of the mounting groove is in a limiting fit with the first mating part 300.

[0056] When the frame 100 is provided with a second mating part 400, the second mating part 400 is located at the groove side wall 114 of the mounting groove, and the second mating part 400 and the first mating part 300 are in a limiting fit.

[0057] The first mating part 300 and the second mating part 400 limit the engagement (e.g., snap-fit ​​connection), which can limit the magnetic element 210 in the direction from the opening of the mounting groove 110 to the bottom 112 of the mounting groove, and at the same time, can limit the magnetic element 210 in the direction perpendicular to the opening of the mounting groove 110 to the bottom 112 of the mounting groove.

[0058] The first mating part 300, the second mating part 400 and the connecting plate 222 cooperate to enrich the assembly method of the magnetic component 210, increase the limiting area of ​​the magnetic component 210, and enhance the assembly bonding force between the frame 100 and the magnetic assembly 200.

[0059] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the magnetic component 210 has a first mating part 300 on the side opposite to the connecting plate 222.

[0060] In this embodiment, the location of the first mating part 300 is further defined.

[0061] The magnetic component 210 has a first mating part 300 on the side opposite to the connecting plate 222. That is, the first mating part 300 is located on the top of the magnetic component 210.

[0062] When the connector 220 is provided with a second mating part 400, the second mating part 400 is in a limiting fit with the first mating part 300 on the top of the magnetic component 210.

[0063] When the frame 100 is provided with a second mating part 400, the second mating part 400 is limited to the first mating part 300 at the top of the magnetic component 210.

[0064] The first mating part 300 and the second mating part 400 limit the engagement (e.g., snap-fit ​​connection), which can limit the magnetic element 210 in the direction from the opening of the mounting groove 110 to the bottom 112 of the mounting groove, and at the same time, can limit the magnetic element 210 in the direction perpendicular to the opening of the mounting groove 110 to the bottom 112 of the mounting groove.

[0065] The first mating part 300, the second mating part 400 and the connecting plate 222 cooperate to enrich the assembly method of the magnetic component 210, increase the limiting area of ​​the magnetic component 210, and enhance the assembly bonding force between the frame 100 and the magnetic assembly 200.

[0066] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the magnetic component 210 includes a magnetic suction surface 218 on the side away from the connecting plate 222. When the magnetic component 210 is provided with a first mating part 300 on the side away from the connecting plate 222, the position height of the first mating part 300 and the second mating part 400 on the side away from the connecting plate 222 along the bottom 112 of the mounting groove to the opening of the mounting groove 110 is lower than the position height of the magnetic suction surface 218.

[0067] In this embodiment, the structure of the magnetic element 210 is further defined.

[0068] The magnetic component 210 has a magnetic attraction surface 218 on the side away from the connecting plate 222. When multiple frames 100 are in a folded state, the magnetic attraction surfaces 218 of the magnetic groups 200 of two adjacent frames 100 are magnetically attracted to each other.

[0069] The second mating part 400 is located outside the magnetic surface 218, which is exposed through the slot of the mounting groove 110, revealing the frame 100. That is, the connection between the first mating part 300 and the second mating part 400 is located outside the magnetic surface 218, and neither the first mating part 300 nor the second mating part 400 obstructs the magnetic surface 218. Simultaneously, the frame 100 does not obstruct the magnetic surface 218, and neither does the connector 220 obstruct the magnetic surface 218.

[0070] This arrangement allows the magnetic surface 218 to expose the frame 100 and the connector 220, avoiding the situation where the magnetic force of the magnetic component 210 is weakened due to the obstruction of the magnetic surface 218. It can ensure the magnetic force of the magnetic group 200 on two adjacent frames 100 when multiple frames 100 are in a folded state, and can ensure the stability and reliability of the electronic device 10 when it is closed.

[0071] At the same time, this setting can reduce the distance between the magnetic surfaces 218 of the magnetic groups 200 on two adjacent frames 100 when multiple frames 100 are in a folded state, thereby increasing the magnetic attraction force of the magnetic groups 200 and improving the opening and closing experience of the electronic device 10.

[0072] Optionally, the maximum distance from a point on the outer surface of the magnetic assembly 200 to the bottom 112 of the mounting groove is equal to the distance from the magnetic surface 218 to the bottom 112 of the mounting groove. This reduces the spacing between the magnetic surfaces 218 of the magnetic assemblies 200 on adjacent frames 100 when multiple frames 100 are in a folded state.

[0073] Optionally, the plane containing the magnetic surface 218 is coplanar with the plane containing the opening of the mounting groove 110. Alternatively, the plane containing the opening of the mounting groove 110 is located between the plane containing the magnetic surface 218 and the bottom 112 of the mounting groove. This reduces the spacing between the magnetic surfaces 218 of the magnetic groups 200 on adjacent frames 100 when multiple frames 100 are in a folded state.

[0074] Optionally, when the multiple frames 100 are in a folded state, the magnetic attraction surfaces 218 of the magnetic groups 200 on two adjacent frames 100 are in contact. Alternatively, when the multiple frames 100 are in a folded state, the spacing between the magnetic attraction surfaces 218 of the magnetic groups 200 on two adjacent frames 100 is smaller.

[0075] When the magnetic component 210 has a first mating part 300 on the side facing away from the connecting plate 222, the height of the first mating part 300 and the second mating part 400 on the side facing away from the connecting plate 222 along the bottom 112 of the mounting groove to the opening of the mounting groove 110 is lower than the height of the magnetic surface 218. That is, when the magnetic component 210 has a first mating part 300 on the side facing away from the connecting plate 222, the height of the first mating part 300 on the side facing away from the connecting plate 222 along the bottom 112 of the mounting groove to the opening of the mounting groove 110 is lower than the height of the magnetic surface 218, and the height of the second mating part 400 on the side facing away from the connecting plate 222 is lower than the height of the magnetic surface. In other words, the distance from the end face of the first mating part 300 away from the connecting plate 222 to the bottom 112 of the mounting groove is less than or equal to the distance from the magnetic surface 218 to the bottom 112 of the mounting groove, and the distance from the end face of the second mating part 400 away from the connecting plate 222 to the bottom 112 of the mounting groove is less than or equal to the distance from the magnetic surface 218 to the bottom 112 of the mounting groove. Thus, when multiple frames 100 are in a folded state, the first mating part 300 and the second mating part 400 will not increase the spacing between the magnetic surfaces 218 of the magnetic groups 200 of adjacent frames 100, providing structural support to ensure the magnetic attraction force of the magnetic groups 200 of adjacent frames 100.

[0076] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown, the magnetic component 210 includes a plurality of magnets 212 arranged in sequence, each magnet 212 being connected to the connecting plate 222.

[0077] In this embodiment, the composition of the magnetic element 210 is further defined.

[0078] The magnetic component 210 includes a plurality of magnets 212 arranged sequentially. Each of the magnets 212 is connected to a connecting plate 222. In other words, the connecting plate 222 connects and secures each magnet 212 of the magnetic component 210, ensuring the effective assembly of each magnet 212 with the frame 100 and preventing some magnets 212 from detaching from the frame 100.

[0079] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the number of first mating parts 300 on the magnetic component 210 is multiple, and a first mating part 300 is provided at the connection of any two adjacent magnets 212; at least one of the connector 220 and the frame 100 is provided with multiple second mating parts 400, and each first mating part 300 mates with at least one second mating part 400.

[0080] In this embodiment, the structure of the magnetic element 210 is further described.

[0081] The number of first mating parts 300 on the magnetic component 210 is multiple, and a first mating part 300 is provided at the connection of any two adjacent magnets 212.

[0082] It is understandable that the number of first mating parts 300 and the number of second mating parts 400 are matched, with each first mating part 300 mating with one second mating part 400. Alternatively, the number of first mating parts 300 is less than the number of second mating parts 400, with each first mating part 300 mating with multiple second mating parts 400.

[0083] Since a first mating part 300 is provided at the connection point of any two adjacent magnets 212, it is possible to ensure that the force exerted by the connector 220 and the frame 100 on the multiple magnets 212 of the magnetic component 210 through the second mating part 400 can effectively limit any magnet 212 under the action of the first mating part 300 and the second mating part 400.

[0084] like Figure 4 As shown, the number of first mating parts 300 and second mating parts 400 are equal, and each first mating part 300 mates with one second mating part 400.

[0085] like Figure 8 As shown, the number of first mating parts 300 is less than the number of second mating parts 400, and each first mating part 300 mates with multiple second mating parts 400.

[0086] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, when the connector 220 is provided with a plurality of second mating parts 400, the connector 220 also includes a plurality of connecting segments 224. The plurality of connecting segments 224 are all connected to the outer edge of the connecting plate 222. The plurality of connecting segments 224 are arranged at intervals. Each connecting segment 224 is provided with a second mating part 400, and the plurality of connecting segments 224 are located on the same side of the magnetic component 210.

[0087] In this embodiment, the structure of the connector 220 is further defined.

[0088] When the connector 220 is provided with multiple second mating parts 400, the connector 220 also includes multiple connecting segments 224. Any one of the multiple connecting segments 224 is connected to the outer edge of the connecting plate 222, and the multiple connecting segments 224 are arranged at intervals. Each connecting segment 224 is provided with a second mating part 400, that is, the connecting segment 224 serves as the mounting carrier for the second mating part 400.

[0089] Among them, multiple connecting segments 224 are located on the same side of the magnetic component 210, and the multiple connecting segments 224 are arranged at intervals. This arrangement can reduce the size of the connector 220 and the overall size of the magnetic assembly 200 while ensuring the mating dimensions of the first mating part 300 and the second mating part 400. This can reduce the occupancy rate of the magnetic assembly 200 on the internal space of the frame 100, facilitate the reasonable layout of other components of the electronic device 10, and provide structural support for the realization of the thinness and lightness of the electronic device 10.

[0090] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 8 As shown, each magnet 212 is provided with a portion of a first mating part 300; along the extending direction of the plurality of magnets 212, the magnetic element 210 has a first end face 214 and a second end face 216, the first mating part 300 penetrates at least one of the first end face 214 and the second end face 216, or the first mating part 300 is located between the first end face 214 and the second end face 216.

[0091] In this embodiment, the structure of the magnetic element 210 is further defined.

[0092] Each magnet 212 is provided with a part of the first mating part 300, that is, each magnet 212 is mated with the second mating part 400, which can ensure that at least one of the connector 220 and the frame 100 acts on the multiple magnets 212 of the magnetic member 210 through the force of the second mating part 400, so that any magnet 212 can be effectively limited under the action of the first mating part 300 and the second mating part 400.

[0093] Furthermore, the magnetic component 210 has a first end face 214 and a second end face 216, which are arranged along the extending direction of the plurality of magnets 212. A first mating portion 300 penetrates the first end face 214, or the first mating portion 300 penetrates the second end face 216, or the first mating portion 300 penetrates both the first and second end faces 214. This arrangement allows the second mating portion 400 to slide into the first mating portion 300 along the penetrated first end face 214 or second end face 216 when assembling the magnetic component 210, and to effectively limit and engage with the first mating portion 300.

[0094] Furthermore, the magnetic component 210 has a first end face 214 and a second end face 216, which are arranged along the extending direction of the plurality of magnets 212. A first mating portion 300 is located between the first end face 214 and the second end face 216, and one of the second mating portion 400 and the first mating portion 300 can be inserted into the other to achieve a limiting fit between the first mating portion 300 and the second mating portion 400.

[0095] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8 As shown, when the connector 220 is provided with the second mating part 400, the connector 220 also includes a folded edge 226, which is connected to the outer edge of one side of the connecting plate 222, and the folded edge 226 is provided with the second mating part 400.

[0096] In this embodiment, the structure of the connector 220 is further defined.

[0097] When the connector 220 is provided with the second mating part 400, the connector 220 also includes a folded edge 226, which is connected to the outer edge of one side of the connecting plate 222, and the folded edge 226 is provided with the second mating part 400. That is, the folded edge 226 is located on one side of the magnetic component 210. This arrangement, while ensuring the mating dimensions of the first mating part 300 and the second mating part 400, can reduce the size of the connector 220, reduce the overall external dimensions of the magnetic assembly 200, and thus reduce the space occupied by the magnetic assembly 200 in the internal space of the frame 100. This facilitates the rational layout of other components of the electronic device 10 and provides structural support for achieving a thinner and lighter electronic device 10.

[0098] Optionally, the folded edge 226 is provided with at least one second mating part 400.

[0099] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the frame 100 includes: a metal frame 120; an elastic frame 130 disposed within the metal frame 120, the metal frame 120 and the elastic frame 130 enclosing at least one mounting groove 110, a portion of the connecting plate 222 connected to the metal frame 120, and another portion of the connecting plate 222 connected to the elastic frame 130; wherein, when the frame 100 is provided with a second mating part 400, a portion of the elastic frame 130 is configured as the second mating part 400.

[0100] In this embodiment, the structure of the frame 100 is further defined.

[0101] The frame 100 includes a metal frame 120 and a flexible frame 130.

[0102] The flexible frame 130 is disposed within the metal frame 120, and the metal frame 120 and the flexible frame 130 enclose at least one mounting groove 110. Specifically, the metal frame 120 encloses a portion of the mounting groove 110, and the flexible frame 130 encloses another portion of the mounting groove 110.

[0103] A portion of the connecting plate 222 is connected to the metal frame 120, and another portion of the connecting plate 222 is connected to the elastic frame 130. That is, both the metal frame 120 and the elastic frame 130 are connected to the connecting plate 222 to ensure the effective fit between the connecting plate 222 and the metal frame 120 and the elastic frame 130.

[0104] When the frame 100 is provided with a second mating part 400, a portion of the elastic frame 130 is configured as the second mating part 400. That is, a portion of the elastic frame 130 is configured as a protrusion, or a portion of the elastic frame 130 is configured as a recess.

[0105] When a portion of the elastic frame 130 is configured as a protrusion, the protrusion is pressed to allow it to be smoothly inserted into the recess, thus ensuring an effective engagement between the protrusion and the recess.

[0106] When a portion of the elastic frame 130 is configured as a recess, the protrusion can be smoothly inserted into the recess by squeezing the recess, so as to ensure effective engagement and connection between the protrusion and the recess.

[0107] Optionally, the resilient frame 130 includes at least one of a plastic frame and a rubber frame.

[0108] Optionally, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the frame 100 also includes an elastic element 500. The elastic element 500 includes at least one of a plastic part and a rubber part.

[0109] This application solves the problem of magnet detachment in electronic devices in related technologies by reasonably setting the structure of the electronic device 10, so as to ensure the magnetic attraction force of the magnetic group 200, save the space occupied by the whole machine, which is conducive to the thin and light design of the whole machine and enhances the market competitiveness of the product.

[0110] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the magnetic assembly 200 includes multiple magnets 212 arranged in an array. The frame 100 includes a metal frame 120 (e.g., an aluminum alloy frame) and an elastic frame 130, which are integrally injection molded. A recess (e.g., a snap-fit ​​structure) is provided on one side of the arrayed magnets 212. A protrusion (e.g., a spherical protrusion) is provided at a corresponding position on the frame 100. Specifically, the elastic frame 130 of the frame 100 has a protrusion. When installing the magnetic component 210, the spherical protrusion of the elastic frame 130 is squeezed and deformed into the snap-fit ​​structure. The metal frame 120 has a bevel connected to the protrusion, and the bevel serves as a guide to facilitate the installation of the magnetic component 210. When the magnetic component 210 is installed in place, the spherical protrusion engages with the snap-fit ​​structure, thereby holding the magnetic component 210 and preventing it from falling off. Compared to the connector being entirely covered by the magnetic component, this design reduces the overall size of the magnetic assembly 200, saving internal space in the electronic device 10 and providing structural support for a thinner and lighter design. It also improves the overall opening and closing experience. Furthermore, this design enhances the reliability of the magnetic component 210 assembly, reduces the probability of it falling, and provides better protection for the magnetic component 210.

[0111] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the magnetic assembly 200 includes multiple magnets 212 arranged in an array. A recess (e.g., a stepped structure) is provided on the side of the magnetic component 210 facing away from the bottom 112 of the mounting groove. The side of the magnetic component 210 facing away from the connecting plate 222 includes a magnetic suction surface 218, and the recess is located outside the magnetic suction surface 218. The connector 220 includes a connecting plate 222 and a connecting section 224, which connects to the outer edge of the connecting plate 222. The connecting section 224 has a second mating part 400, which catches the stepped structure to prevent the magnetic component 210 from falling off. The second mating part 400 engages with the step structure, which accommodates the second mating part 400. This reduces the overall size of the magnetic assembly 200 in the direction from the opening of the mounting groove 110 to the bottom 112 of the mounting groove. Consequently, when multiple frames 100 are in a folded state, the distance between the magnetic attraction surfaces 218 of the magnetic assembly 200 on adjacent frames 100 is reduced, thereby increasing the magnetic attraction force and improving the opening and closing experience of the electronic device 10. Furthermore, compared to the connector being entirely covered by the magnetic component, this design reduces the overall size of the magnetic assembly 200, saving internal space in the electronic device 10 and providing structural support for achieving a thinner and lighter electronic device 10.

[0112] The magnetic assembly 200 includes multiple magnets 212, arranged in an array. For example... Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, a recess (e.g., a stepped structure) is provided on the side of the magnetic component 210 facing away from the bottom 112 of the mounting groove. The side of the magnetic component 210 facing away from the connecting plate 222 includes a magnetic suction surface 218, and the recess is located outside the magnetic suction surface 218. A protrusion (e.g., a baffle) is provided on the elastic frame 130 of the frame 100. When assembling the electronic device 10, the array of magnets 212 is first placed on the connecting plate 222 in the mounting groove 110, and the connecting plate 222 is fixed to the metal frame 120 of the frame 100 by dispensing adhesive. Then, a plastic elastic frame 130 is integrally injection molded inside the metal frame 120. The second mating part 400 engages with the step structure, which accommodates the second mating part 400. This reduces the external dimensions of the magnetic assembly 200 in the direction from the opening of the mounting groove 110 to the bottom 112 of the mounting groove. Consequently, when multiple frames 100 are in a folded state, the distance between the magnetic attraction surfaces 218 of the magnetic assemblies 200 on adjacent frames 100 is reduced, thereby increasing the magnetic attraction force and improving the opening and closing experience of the electronic device 10. Furthermore, compared to the connector entirely covering the outside of the magnetic component, this arrangement allows the magnetic component 210 to be closer to the edge of the frame 100. This makes the screen aperture of the electronic device 10 closer to the outer edge of the frame 100, improving the aesthetics of the electronic device 10 and enhancing the reliability of preventing the magnetic component 210 from falling off.

[0113] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, along the extending direction of the plurality of magnets 212, the magnetic component 210 has a first end face 214 and a second end face 216, and a recess penetrates at least one of the first end face 214 and the second end face 216. The connector 220 includes a connecting plate 222 and a flange 226, the flange 226 being connected to the outer edge of the connecting plate 222, and the flange 226 having a protrusion (e.g., a rib structure). When the magnetic component 210 is assembled with the connector 220 (e.g., the connecting plate 222 includes a steel sheet), the steel sheet slides along the through recess, so that the rib structure effectively engages with the recess to securely fix the plurality of magnets 212 together. Since the recess is located on the side of the magnetic component 210, when the plurality of frames 100 are in a folded state, the distance between the magnetic attraction surfaces 218 of the magnetic groups 200 on two adjacent frames 100 can be reduced, thereby increasing the magnetic attraction force and improving the opening and closing experience of the electronic device 10. At the same time, compared with the connector being completely covered on the outside of the magnetic component, this setting can reduce the overall size of the magnetic assembly 200, save the internal space occupied by the electronic device 10, provide structural support for the realization of the thinner and lighter electronic device 10, and help improve the reliability of preventing the magnetic component 210 from falling.
