Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of terminals, and more particularly to an electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, terminal devices are becoming increasingly feature-rich and diverse in form. However, to provide a better user experience, the thickness of terminal devices is trending towards reduction, leading to a tighter layout of components on the motherboard. Due to the limited area of ​​the motherboard, components such as high-current chips, camera modules, and speaker modules are scattered. Some foldable terminal devices also place magnets on the edge of the motherboard, resulting in a poor magnetic environment. At the same time, the high current and ground return current of the motherboard create radiated magnetic field interference, making the motherboard's geomagnetic layout environment extremely harsh. This, in turn, affects the accuracy of the geomagnetic sensor's compass, causing inaccurate navigation and severely impacting the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0030] The technical solutions in the embodiments (or "implementations") of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described herein with reference to the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements.

[0031] If this disclosure uses terms relating to directional indications or positional relationships (e.g., up, down, left, right, front, back, inside, outside, top, bottom, center, vertical, horizontal, longitudinal, transverse, length, width, counterclockwise, clockwise, axial, radial, circumferential, etc.), such terms are only used to explain the relative positional relationships and movements between components in a specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings); if the specific posture changes, the directional indications or positional relationships will also change accordingly.

[0032] This disclosure provides an electronic device. The electronic device of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the features of the following embodiments and implementations can be combined with each other.

[0033] This disclosure provides an electronic device, see [link to document]. Figure 1-4As shown, the device includes a circuit board 100, a shim block 200, and a geomagnetic sensor 300. The circuit board 100 is used to mount the working elements of the electronic device. The shim block 200 is mounted on the circuit board 100 and protrudes from the surface of the circuit board 100. The geomagnetic sensor 300 is mounted on the shim block 200 and is electrically connected to the circuit board 100.

[0034] By placing the geomagnetic sensor 300 on the raised block 200, in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the circuit board 100, it is far away from the high current and ground return paths set on the circuit board 100. This reduces the interference of high current and ground return on the radiated magnetic field of the geomagnetic sensor 300, reduces the impact on the compass accuracy of the geomagnetic sensor 300, and is beneficial to the pointing accuracy of the geomagnetic sensor 300 during navigation, thus improving the user experience of electronic devices.

[0035] In an optional embodiment, see Figure 1-3 As shown, the electronic device also includes a light distance sensor 400. The light distance sensor 400 is disposed on the shim block 200 and is electrically connected to the circuit board 100. The light distance sensor 400 generates a small current during operation, thus having a minimal impact on the geomagnetic sensor 300. In some embodiments, the shim block 200 is disposed on the side of the circuit board 100 facing the screen of the electronic device, and both the light distance sensor 400 and the geomagnetic sensor 300 are disposed on the side of the shim block 200 facing the screen of the electronic device.

[0036] By reducing the distance between the optical distance sensor 400 and the screen through the above settings, the detection accuracy of the optical distance sensor 400 is improved. Simultaneously, placing both the optical distance sensor 400 and the geomagnetic sensor 300 on the raised block 200 simultaneously enhances both the detection accuracy of the optical distance sensor 400 and the directional accuracy of the geomagnetic sensor 300 during navigation. This contributes to the compactness of the electronic device's internal structure, thereby reducing its size and improving the user experience.

[0037] In an optional embodiment, see Figure 1-3 As shown, the shim block 200 includes a main body 210 and an extension 220. The main body 210 is connected to the circuit board 100 and protrudes from the surface of the circuit board 100. The extension 220 is located at one end of the main body 210 in the first direction X and is spaced apart from the circuit board 100. A geomagnetic sensor 300 is disposed in the extension 220, and a light distance sensor 400 is disposed in the main body 210.

[0038] The geomagnetic sensor 300 and the optical distance sensor 400 are electrically connected to the circuit board 100 via the main body 210. The geomagnetic sensor 300 is disposed in the extension 220, and the optical distance sensor 400 is disposed in the main body 210. During use, the mutual interference between the optical distance sensor 400 and the geomagnetic sensor 300 is reduced, which is beneficial to the detection accuracy of the optical distance sensor 400 and the pointing accuracy of the geomagnetic sensor 300 during navigation.

[0039] In an optional embodiment, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the thickness of the extension 220 is less than the thickness of the main body 210. The surfaces of the extension 220 and the main body 210 away from the circuit board 100 are flush. The figure shows that the top surfaces of the extension 220 and the main body 210 are flush.

[0040] The geomagnetic sensor 300 is positioned on the side of the extension 220 away from the circuit board 100. This ensures a safe distance between the geomagnetic sensor 300 and the circuit board 100, reducing interference from high current and ground return current on the radiated magnetic field of the geomagnetic sensor 300. This minimizes the impact on the compass accuracy of the geomagnetic sensor 300 and improves its pointing accuracy during navigation. A gap exists between the extension 220 and the bottom of the circuit board 100, allowing for the avoidance of working components or wiring on the circuit board 100, thus contributing to the compactness of the internal structure of the electronic device.

[0041] In an optional embodiment, see Figure 1-3 As shown, the extension 220 includes a bent portion 230 extending in the second direction Y, and the geomagnetic sensor 300 is disposed in the bent portion 230. Here, Y is perpendicular to the first direction X.

[0042] The above settings help increase the distance between the geomagnetic sensor 300 and the optical distance sensor 400, reduce mutual interference between the optical distance sensor 400 and the geomagnetic sensor 300 during use, and improve the detection accuracy of the optical distance sensor 400 and the pointing accuracy of the geomagnetic sensor 300 during navigation.

[0043] In an optional embodiment, see Figure 3 As shown, the shim block 200 has a clearance portion 240 on the side facing the circuit board 100. The clearance portion 240 is recessed away from the circuit board 100, and at least a portion of the working element is disposed within the clearance portion 240. The clearance portion 240 can be configured according to the shape and size of the working element that needs to be clearanced, as long as the overall strength of the shim block 200 can support the optical distance sensor 400 and the geomagnetic sensor 300. This disclosure does not impose specific limitations on the shape and size of the clearance portion 240.

[0044] By providing the clearance section 240, it is possible to avoid working components or wiring structures on the circuit board 100, which is beneficial to the compactness of the internal structure of the electronic device.

[0045] In optional embodiments, the raised block 200 is provided with a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion (not shown in the figure). The first connecting portion is located on the side of the raised block 200 away from the circuit board 100 and is electrically connected to the geomagnetic sensor 300. In some embodiments, the geomagnetic sensor 300 includes a plurality of pins for electrical connection with the circuit board 100, and the first connecting portion may be an interface corresponding to the pins of the geomagnetic sensor 300. The second connecting portion is located on the side of the raised block 200 close to the circuit board 100, and the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion are electrically connected. In some embodiments, the raised block 200 may have wires inside for electrical connection, and the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion are correspondingly provided and electrically connected. The circuit board 100 includes a third connecting portion (not shown in the figure) corresponding to the second connecting portion. The third connecting portion is correspondingly provided and electrically connected to the second connecting portion.

[0046] By setting a first connecting part and a second connecting part on the shim block 200, the electrical connection between the first connecting part and the second connecting part is pre-realized in the manufacturing process of the shim block 200, thereby simplifying the steps of assembling the circuit board 100, the shim block 200 and the geomagnetic sensor 300 in the subsequent production process of the electronic device, and simplifying the manufacturing process of the electronic device.

[0047] In an optional embodiment, the shim block 200 is provided with a fourth connecting portion and a fifth connecting portion. The fourth connecting portion is located on the side of the shim block 200 away from the circuit board 100, and the fifth connecting portion is located on the side of the shim block 200 closer to the circuit board 100. The fourth sensor and the fifth sensor are electrically connected. The fourth connecting portion is electrically connected to the optical distance sensor. The circuit board 100 is provided with a sixth connecting portion corresponding to the fifth connecting portion.

[0048] In an optional embodiment, the geomagnetic sensor 300 is welded to the first connecting part, which facilitates the fixation and electrical connection between the geomagnetic sensor 300 and the shim block 200.

[0049] In an optional embodiment, the second and third connecting portions are welded together, which facilitates the fixation and electrical connection between the shim block 200 and the circuit board 100.

[0050] In an optional embodiment, the optical distance sensor 400 is welded to the fourth connecting part, and the fifth connecting part and the sixth connecting part are welded together.

[0051] In an optional embodiment, the shim block 200 is provided with a mounting groove (not shown in the figure). The mounting groove is located on the side of the shim block 200 away from the circuit board 100 and is recessed towards the circuit board 100. The geomagnetic sensor 300 is disposed in the mounting groove. With the above arrangement, when assembling the shim block 200 and the geomagnetic sensor 300, it is convenient to pre-position the connection position of the geomagnetic sensor 300 relative to the shim block, simplifying the steps of assembling the circuit board 100 and the geomagnetic sensor 300 in the subsequent production process of the electronic device, and simplifying the manufacturing process of the electronic device.

[0052] In an optional embodiment, see Figure 4 As shown, the circuit board 100 includes an antenna clearance area 800, and a shim block 200 is disposed in the antenna clearance area 800. By setting the shim block 200, the risk of interference between the geomagnetic sensor 300 and the antenna clearance area 800 of the electronic device is reduced. Placing the shim block 200 in the antenna clearance area 800 reduces the space occupied by the shim block 200 in other locations on the circuit board 100, reduces the risk of interference between the geomagnetic sensor 300 and the shim block 200 on the placement of other working components, and contributes to the compactness of the internal structure of the electronic device.

[0053] In an optional embodiment, see Figure 4 As shown, the working elements include at least one of a high-current chip 500, a camera module 600, and a speaker module 700, with the shim block 200 offset from the working elements. This arrangement facilitates full utilization of the space on the circuit board 100 of the electronic device. When designing the placement of the working elements on the circuit board 100, priority can be given to working elements such as the high-current chip 500, camera module 600, and speaker module 700, which have specific placement requirements, thus facilitating the layout of the working elements on the circuit board 100 of the electronic device.

[0054] By placing the geomagnetic sensor 300 on the raised block 200, it is far away from the high current and ground return paths on the circuit board 100, reducing the interference of high current and ground return on the radiated magnetic field of the geomagnetic sensor 300, reducing the impact on the compass accuracy of the geomagnetic sensor 300, which is beneficial to the pointing accuracy of the geomagnetic sensor 300 during navigation and improves the user experience of electronic devices.

[0055] It should be noted that the technical solutions or features described in the above embodiments can be combined or complemented by each other without conflict. The scope of protection of this disclosure is not limited to the precise structures described in the above embodiments and shown in the accompanying drawings; all modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this disclosure should be included within the scope of protection of this disclosure.
