DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0049] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without any creative work belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0050] Unless otherwise defined, all the technical terms used in the embodiments of the present application have the same meanings as commonly understood by those skilled in the art.

[0051] In order to make the technical solutions and advantages of the present application more clear, the embodiments of the present application will be described in further detail in combination with the drawings.

[0052] In combination with Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in the figure, this application provides an electronic device, which includes a camera module 100 and a first sealing member 200. The camera module 100 includes a mounting base 110, a lens assembly 120, and a circuit board 130. The lens assembly 120 is located inside the mounting base 110, and the mounting base 110 is mounted on the circuit board 130. The first sealing member 200 is sleeved on the camera module 100, and the first sealing member 200 forms a seal on the outside of the connection between the mounting base 110 and the circuit board 130.

[0053] It should be noted that the electronic device provided in this application embodiment can be, for example, a mobile phone, computer, or other device with camera function. Since the first sealing member 200 sleeved on the camera module 100 in the electronic device provided in this application embodiment can form a seal on the outside of the connection between the fixing base 110 and the circuit board 130, that is, the first sealing member 200 can seal the gap at the connection between the fixing base 110 and the circuit board 130, the sealing performance of the camera module 100 can be improved, preventing moisture or gas from entering the fixing base 110 through the gap at the connection between the fixing base 110 and the circuit board 130. This prevents moisture or gas from forming water mist on the lens assembly 120, ensuring that the image captured by the camera module 100 has high clarity and improving the user experience.

[0054] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1 to 6 The structure and function of each component of the electronic device provided in the embodiments of this application will be described in more detail.

[0055] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the electronic device further includes a limiting member 300. The camera module 100 is located within the limiting member 300, forming an annular cavity 310 between the limiting member 300 and the camera module 100. A first sealing member 200 is located within the annular cavity 310, with its outer wall abutting against the inner wall of the limiting member 300. It is understood that the limiting member 300 can provide support for the first sealing member 200, and the annular cavity 310 can position the first sealing member 200. The inner and outer walls of the first sealing member 200 can have a certain degree of adhesion, thereby further improving the sealing performance of the first sealing member 200 at the connection between the mounting base 110 and the circuit board 130.

[0056] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the first sealant 200 is a solidified adhesive. Because the adhesive has stronger adhesion, it can improve the sealing effect on the outside of the connection between the mounting base 110 and the circuit board 130, thereby better preventing moisture or gas from forming mist on the lens assembly 120, ensuring higher image clarity from the camera module 100, and improving the user experience. It should be noted that the first sealant 200 can also be made of soft materials such as silicone or rubber.

[0057] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the limiting member 300 includes a body portion 320 and a limiting portion 330. The body portion 320 is disposed around the outer periphery of the camera module 100, forming an annular cavity 310 between the body portion 320 and the camera module 100. The limiting portion 330 is disposed circumferentially along the body portion 320, with one end connected to the inner wall of the body portion 320 and the other end extending toward the camera module 100. It should be noted that glue can be injected sequentially on both sides of the limiting portion 330. The setting of the limiting portion 330 not only facilitates the setting of the glue but also provides support for the first sealing member 200 formed after the glue solidifies. In addition, the limiting portion 330 can also limit the fixing seat 110, that is, limit the camera module 100, to prevent the camera module 100 from shifting.

[0058] Combination Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the electronic device further includes a first decorative element 400 and a locking element 500. The first decorative element 400 includes a first surface 410 facing the circuit board 130, the first surface 410 abutting against the end face of the mounting base 110 opposite to the circuit board 130. The locking element 500 secures the limiting member 300 and the first decorative element 400 together along the thickness direction. It should be noted that the locking element 500 can provide a large tensile force to the first decorative element 400 toward the limiting member 300, thereby allowing the first decorative element 400 to apply greater pressure to the end face of the mounting base 110 opposite to the circuit board 130. This allows for greater compressive force between the first surface 410 and the end face of the mounting base 110 facing away from the circuit board 130, improving the sealing between the end faces of the first surface 410 and the mounting base 110. This prevents moisture or gas from entering the camera module 100 through the gap between the first surface 410 and the mounting base 110, thereby preventing water mist from forming on the lens assembly 120. This ensures that the images captured by the camera module 100 have high clarity and improves the user experience.

[0059] Combination Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments, the limiting member 300 further includes a first fixing part 340, which is connected to the outer wall of the main body part 320. The first fixing part 340 is provided with a first through hole 341. The first surface 410 is provided with a blind hole 411 opening towards the circuit board 130, and the first through hole 341 is opposite to the blind hole 411. The side wall of the locking member 500 is threaded, and the locking member 500 is screwed into the first through hole 341 and the blind hole 411 corresponding to the first through hole 341 in sequence. It should be noted that the locking member 500 in the embodiments of this application can be, for example, a bolt, screw, or screw with external threads. The inner wall of the first through hole 341 and the inner wall of the blind hole 411 can be provided with internal threads that mate with the external threads of the locking member 500. It should be understood that by providing the first through hole 341 and the blind hole 411, the locking member 500 can be quickly positioned during installation, improving the assembly efficiency of the locking member 500.

[0060] Combination Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, a second fixing portion 420 is connected to the first surface 410, extending toward the circuit board 130. The second fixing portion 420 has a blind hole 411, and its end face abuts against the end face of the first fixing portion 340 toward the first decorative member 400. It should be understood that the second fixing portion 420 can better limit the locking member 500, prevent the locking member 500 from shifting, and protect the locking member 500.

[0061] Combination Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the limiting member 300 includes two first fixing parts 340, which are arranged opposite each other in the radial direction of the camera module 100. It should be noted that the number of first fixing parts 340 is the same as the number of second fixing parts 420 and corresponds one-to-one. Similarly, the number of blind holes 411 is the same as the number of first through holes 341 and corresponds one-to-one. This arrangement ensures that the limiting member 300 and the first decorative member 400 are subjected to balanced forces, preventing the limiting member 300 or the first decorative member 400 from warping or shifting, thus improving the reliability of the assembly of the first decorative member 400 and the limiting member 300.

[0062] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments, the electronic device further includes a first adhesive member 600, with both sides of the first adhesive member 600 bonded to the end faces of the first surface 410 and the mounting base 110 opposite to the circuit board 130, respectively.

It should be noted that the first adhesive member 600 can be, for example, a solidified adhesive, a waterproof adhesive, or a soft adhesive material such as double-sided adhesive silicone.

[0063] Combination Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the first decorative element 400 has a second through hole 430 and includes a second surface 440 facing away from the circuit board 130. The lens assembly 120 includes a lens 121 and a lens element 122. The lens 121 is movably disposed within the mounting base 110, located on the side of the lens 121 facing away from the circuit board 130, and covering the second through hole 430. It should be noted that the inner wall of the lens element 122, the inner wall of the first decorative element 400, the inner wall of the mounting base 110, and the side of the circuit board 130 facing the first decorative element 400 together form a receiving cavity, and the lens 121 is movably mounted within the receiving cavity. It should be understood that the lens assembly 120 also includes components such as a sensor and a lens 121 drive motor for realizing the shooting and movement functions of the lens 121.

[0064] The electronic device also includes a second adhesive 700, which is sandwiched between the portion of the second surface 440 located at the edge of the second through-hole 430 and the surface of the lens 122 facing the circuit board 130. It is understood that the second adhesive 700 can be used to fix the lens 122 to the first decorative element 400 and to seal the gap between the lens 122 and the first decorative element 400. It should be noted that the second adhesive 700 can be, for example, a solidified adhesive, a waterproof adhesive, or a soft adhesive material such as double-sided adhesive silicone.
