Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic accessories, and in particular to a modular peripheral integration box and a portable electronic device. Background Technology
[0002] Mobile phones, as portable electronic devices, are common items in people's lives. Due to the need for handheld use, the size of mobile phones is limited, resulting in a limited number of integrated hardware components and battery size. As the mobile phone ecosystem continues to expand and become richer, there are more and more functional hardware devices, which are being updated faster and faster, leading to an increase in power consumption.
[0003] Due to their fixed size and packaging, finished mobile phones cannot expand battery capacity or upgrade and add hardware. Although the integration of internal circuits and hardware is increasing, trade-offs must be made when faced with the contradiction between size limitations and the variety of functional hardware. Consumers cannot actively choose the combination of functions.
[0004] While power banks can replenish power to mobile phones, they have drawbacks such as limited power and no emergency backup capability once the power is depleted. When mobile phone users are engaged in outdoor activities or encounter prolonged power outages due to large-scale natural disasters such as typhoons and earthquakes, the inability to replenish mobile phone power in a timely manner can lead to interruptions in communication and exchanges, causing harm and losses to personal safety and social activities.

[0043] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to experimental examples and specific embodiments. However, this should not be construed as limiting the scope of the above-mentioned subject matter of the present invention to the following embodiments. All technologies implemented based on the content of the present invention fall within the scope of the present invention.
[0044] Unless otherwise specified, the use of terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "center," "inner," and "outer" to indicate orientation or positional relationships in the description of specific embodiments of this utility model is based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship in which the utility model product / equipment / device is typically placed during use. These terms are merely for the purpose of facilitating the description of the utility model solution or simplifying the description in specific embodiments, enabling those skilled in the art to quickly understand the solution, and do not indicate or imply that a specific device / component / element must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific positional relationship. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0045] Furthermore, the use of terms such as "horizontal," "vertical," "suspended," and "parallel" does not imply that the corresponding device / component / element must be absolutely horizontal, vertical, suspended, or parallel, but rather that it can be slightly tilted or have a deviation. For example, "horizontal" merely means that its direction is more horizontal relative to "vertical," not that the structure must be completely horizontal, but can be slightly tilted. Alternatively, it can be simplified to mean that the corresponding device / component / element, when set in a "horizontal," "vertical," "suspended," or "parallel" direction, can have an error / deviation of ±10% relative to the corresponding direction, more preferably within ±8%, more preferably within ±6%, more preferably within ±5%, and more preferably within ±4%. As long as the corresponding device / component / element is within the error / deviation range, it can still achieve its function in the present invention.
[0046] Furthermore, the use of terms such as "first," "second," and "third" in terminology is merely for distinguishing descriptions of identical or similar components and should not be interpreted as emphasizing or implying the relative importance of a particular component.
[0047] Furthermore, in the description of the embodiments of this utility model, "several", "multiple", and "several" represent at least two. The number can be any number, such as two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine, and can even exceed nine.
[0048] Furthermore, in the description of the technical solution of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified / limited / restricted, the terms "set up," "install," "connect," "link," "equipped with," "laid out," and "arranged" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to common connection methods in the art, such as welding, riveting, bolting, and threaded connections. Such connections can be mechanical, electrical, or communication connections; they can be direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal communication between two components.
[0049] In related technologies, the limited size of portable electronic devices leads to a limited number of integrated hardware components and battery sizes, enabling them to fulfill only basic functions. This results in what is often referred to as a "jack-of-all-trades" device, lacking outstanding performance in any single area and requiring specialized peripherals to enhance their functionality or performance. For example, overheating is increasingly common in portable electronic devices, leading to the emergence of dedicated heat sinks. Limited battery capacity has also spurred the development of power banks, which replenish power wirelessly via interfaces or magnetic attachments. Furthermore, the growing popularity and rapid pace of mobile gaming have made it difficult for the built-in GPUs of some portable devices to keep up, necessitating the use of external, more powerful GPUs. While some manufacturers have developed specialized imaging kits for portable devices, such as the Xiaomi 15 Ultra, vivo X100 Ultra, and Leica's iPhone imaging kit, these kits enhance the photography capabilities and versatility of portable electronic devices. However, these kits are often dedicated to specific devices and may not be compatible with other manufacturers' portable electronic devices. Therefore, it is evident that consumers who need to expand the functions or performance of portable electronic devices often need to carry various accessories. Furthermore, the connection methods between these accessories and the portable electronic devices differ, making the alternation of accessories complex. Some accessories even require removing the protective case of the portable electronic device before connection, which is extremely inconvenient. This led to the development of the technical solution in this application, which is described below in conjunction with… Figures 1 to 7 To elaborate.
[0050] Example 1
[0051] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the modular peripheral integration box of this utility model includes a first shell 100 and a second shell 200. The first shell 100 and the second shell 200 are stacked to form a thicker protective shell, which is suitable for traditional flat-screen portable electronic devices.
[0052] The first housing 100 is used to snap onto at least one set of opposing sides or the four corners of the portable electronic device, and at least one section of the first housing 100 is made of an elastic material; Figure 1 An exemplary reference diagram is provided showing the first housing 100 covering the four sides of a portable electronic device. In some optional embodiments, the first housing 100 may be made of elastic material on one side, on two opposite sides, on two adjacent sides, on three sides, or on all four sides.
[0053] In some optional embodiments, the portable electronic device has auxiliary buttons on the side of the first housing 100 at corresponding positions, including volume auxiliary buttons, mute auxiliary buttons, and power on / off auxiliary buttons, or the corresponding positions are hollowed out so that the volume buttons, mute buttons, and power on / off buttons of the portable electronic device protrude from the first housing 100. In some optional embodiments, the portable electronic device's speaker, microphone, etc., have openings of the same shape at corresponding positions on the first housing 100.
[0054] like Figure 1 As shown, a USB plug 101 is provided on the inner side of the first housing 100. The location of the USB plug 101 corresponds to the location of the charging data interface of the portable electronic device. As those skilled in the art will know, since the USB plug 101 requires circuit connection, the side of the first housing 100 where the USB plug 101 is located is usually thicker than the other sides. After the USB plug 101 is inserted into the charging data interface of the portable electronic device, the portable electronic device can be electrically connected to the integrated box. The portable electronic device can meet the charging and data transmission needs through the external interface of the integrated box (such as the USB interface 204).
[0055] In some alternative implementations, metal wires or strips are embedded near the four corners of the protective casing to enhance the transmission and reception of radio signals.
[0056] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the second housing 200 includes an inner layer 201 and an outer layer 202. The inner layer 201 is connected to the first housing 100 and is used to contact and at least partially cover the back of the portable electronic device. In this embodiment, the inner layer 201 completely covers the back of the portable electronic device. In some optional embodiments, the outer layer 202 extends 2mm to 5mm beyond the outer plane of the protruding camera on the back of the portable electronic device.
[0057] A closed cavity is formed between the inner layer 201 and the outer layer 202. A circuit board is disposed within the cavity, and the circuit board is connected to the USB plug 101. In some optional embodiments, the inner layer 201 is made of circuit board material, so the inner layer 201 can also serve as the circuit board, that is, the inner layer 201 and the circuit board can be combined into one. The material selection includes, for example, metal-based composite materials, high-performance engineering plastics, and 3D printing integrated materials. In some optional embodiments, the outer layer 202 is made of a material that facilitates heat dissipation, such as aluminum alloy, ABS, or copper-based composite materials.
[0058] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the second housing 200 has a camera hole 203 reserved at the position of the portable electronic device camera. The shape and size of the camera hole 203 are adapted to the shape and size of the portable electronic device camera. The protruding camera of the portable electronic device is incorporated into the camera hole 203 and is tightly separated from the cavity. A transparent camera protective film is covered at the opening of the outer layer 202 and is tightly connected to the outer layer 202 as a whole.
[0059] In some alternative implementations, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the internal space of the cavity is divided into upper and lower parts. It can be divided equally along a horizontal axis, or the lower part can be larger than the upper part. The figure illustrates that the camera hole 203 is located in the upper part. The upper part also includes a fixed battery cell 220 and / or at least one slot on its side. The fixed battery cell 220 and the slot are respectively connected to the circuit board. The fixed battery cell 220 is typically rectangular, but can also be irregularly shaped, such as L-shaped. Regarding the slot in the upper part... Figure 3 The example illustrates a first built-in slot 240 of relatively large size located on the side of the upper space; a space is reserved in the middle of the lower space for a multi-purpose splicing slot 210, which is recessed into the lower space from the outer layer 202, and is isolated from and not connected to the lower space; the edge of the lower space is used to house a circuit functional device area 230 and / or at least one of the slots, the circuit functional device area 230 being located on the circuit board, and the slots connecting to the circuit board; the planar shape of the multi-purpose splicing slot 210 can be rectangular, elliptical, or irregular. Figure 3The example illustrates that the multi-purpose splicing slot 210 adopts a T-shaped planar shape, and the slots within the lower portion of the space include two moderately sized second built-in slots 241 and one smaller third built-in slot 242. Furthermore, typically, the first built-in slots 240, the second built-in slots 241, and the third built-in slot 242 are concentrated along the same side of the cavity (e.g., Figure 3 (As shown), of course, it can also be set separately according to the specific design.
[0060] In some alternative embodiments, the multi-purpose splicing slot 210 is detachably connected to external devices, including an electromagnetic generator module 300, additional battery cells, or larger modular peripheral hardware. Figure 4 An example is provided of a scenario where the multi-purpose splicing slot 210 is connected to the electromagnetic generator module 300. At least a portion of the outer casing of the external device fits into the multi-purpose splicing slot 210. The external device is connected to the multi-purpose splicing slot 210 via a snap-fit and / or a magnetic connection. The electromagnetic generator module 300 can provide emergency charging for the portable electronic device's battery and / or the fixed battery cell 220. The additional battery cell can further increase the energy storage capacity. The modular peripheral hardware can expand other functions. A power interface and a communication interface are correspondingly provided between the external device and the multi-purpose splicing slot 210. The power interface and the communication interface are connected to the circuit board. In some specific embodiments, a combined power / communication interface can be used to realize power transmission and data transmission between the external device and the portable electronic device.
[0061] In some optional embodiments, the circuit board adopts a single-layer or multi-layer circuit structure, preferably a multi-layer circuit structure. The circuit board includes an energy collection and storage function circuit, an intelligent charging and discharging function circuit, and a power supply and data transmission function circuit, which respectively correspond to the emergency power supply function of the electromagnetic generator module 300 of the integrated box, the power bank function of the additional battery cell, and the hardware expansion function of the modular peripheral hardware. A switch button is also provided on the side of the second housing 200, and the switch button is connected to the circuit board.
[0062] In some alternative implementations, the switch includes two buttons, which control whether the power supply and data connection between the integrated box and the portable electronic device are maintained.
[0063] In some optional embodiments, the modular peripheral hardware is provided with a power interface and a communication interface corresponding to the multi-purpose splicing slot 210. Both the power interface and the communication interface are connected to the circuit board. The circuit board includes power supply and data transmission function circuits, which are used for the connection between the modular peripheral hardware and the portable electronic device system. Optionally, the power supply and data transmission function circuits include a USB host control chip, a USB interface circuit, a high-speed data transmission circuit, ESD (Electro-Static Discharge) protection, and a wireless communication module (optionally a Bluetooth module and / or a StarFlash module). The power supply and data transmission function circuits are used to establish wired and / or wireless data connection channels between the modular peripheral hardware and the portable electronic device system.
[0064] In some optional embodiments, the additional battery cell is provided with a power interface corresponding to the multi-purpose splicing slot 210. The power interface is connected to the circuit board, which includes an intelligent charging and discharging function circuit. The additional battery cell is used to power the portable electronic device, and the intelligent charging and discharging function circuit is used to charge the portable electronic device battery and the additional battery cell under an external power source. Optionally, the intelligent charging / discharging function circuit includes a buck-boost chip, a protocol chip, an input / output interface, a protection circuit, and an intelligent charging / discharging management system. The buck-boost chip and the protocol chip are used to control the dynamic conversion of input and output voltages and intelligent charging management. The input / output interface includes a USB interface 204 for charging input and a USB plug 101, which can charge the portable electronic device battery and the cells of the integrated box. The intelligent charging / discharging management system includes a power path management IC and a MOSFET. The intelligent charging / discharging management system works in conjunction with the protocol chip to coordinate and control the joint charging and discharging of the portable electronic device battery and the additional cells. When the USB interface 204 is connected to a power source and enters a charging state, it prioritizes charging the portable electronic device battery. When it is not in an external power charging state, it determines whether the cells discharge to the portable electronic device battery based on the protection value set by the portable electronic device battery level.
[0065] In some alternative implementations, the energy harvesting and storage circuitry includes a rectifier transformer 340, a supercapacitor 341, and a protection circuitry for intelligent management of the power supply to the electromagnetic generator module 300.
[0066] In some alternative implementations, such as Figures 4 to 7As shown, the electromagnetic generator module 300 includes a third housing 301 and a hand-cranked driver. The third housing 301 is provided with a power interface corresponding to the multi-purpose splicing slot 210. The power interface is connected to the circuit board. The third housing 301 is provided with a coil stator 330 and a magnetic rotor 331. The magnetic rotor 331 is connected to the hand-cranked driver.
[0067] In some optional embodiments, the rectifier transformer 340 is disposed on the circuit board or inside the third housing 301. The rectifier transformer 340 includes a rectifier circuit and a boost-type voltage regulator module. The rectifier circuit is used to convert the alternating current generated by the coil stator 330 into direct current, and the boost-type voltage regulator module is used to boost the current to a specified voltage. The supercapacitor 341 is disposed on the circuit board or inside the third housing 301. The supercapacitor 341 receives the current processed by the rectifier transformer 340 and is used for charging portable electronic devices or charging battery cells. Figure 7 The example illustrates a scenario where the rectifier transformer 340 and the supercapacitor 341 are integrated into the electromagnetic generator module 300. When the supercapacitor 341 is mounted on the circuit board, i.e., within the second housing 200, its height allows it to be positioned on the circuit functional device area 230, which is the area on the circuit board where electronic components are mounted to meet three-dimensional space requirements.
[0068] In some alternative implementations, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the hand-cranked actuator includes a handle, a first rotating shaft 311, a gear transmission system, and a second rotating shaft 332. The handle is located outside the third housing 301 and is used to drive the first rotating shaft 311 to rotate. The first rotating shaft 311 is located inside the third housing 301 and drives the gear transmission system to operate. The gear transmission system is located inside the third housing 301 and drives the second rotating shaft 332 to rotate. The second rotating shaft 332 is located inside the third housing 301 and drives the magnet rotor 331 to rotate.
[0069] In some alternative implementations, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the handle adopts a folding structure; optionally, the handle includes a rotating disk 310, a folding ring 312, a folding sleeve 314, and a folding rod 316; the rotating disk 310 is connected to the first rotating shaft 311 and is concentrically arranged; the folding ring 312 is attached to the rotating disk 310 and is concentrically arranged, and the outer edge of the folding ring 312 is hinged to the rotating disk 310 through a first hinge pin 313; the folding sleeve 314 is attached to the folding ring 312, and one end of the folding sleeve 314 is hinged to the folding ring 312 through a second hinge pin 315, the second hinge pin 315 being opposite to the first hinge pin 313; the folding rod 316 is hinged to the other end of the folding sleeve 314 through a third hinge pin 317. That is, the folding ring 312, the folding sleeve 314 and the folding rod 316 can be folded or unfolded in sequence, so that the handle not only has the function of hand-cranked power output, but also has the function of a portable electronic device support, which makes it easy for portable electronic devices to be supported on the table or for people to hold the hand with their fingers through the folding ring 312 to enhance the safety of gripping.
[0070] In one specific embodiment, the outer diameter of the rotating disk 310 is 40mm, the folding sleeve 314 has a storage groove in the middle to facilitate the placement of the folding rod 316, the folding sleeve 314 is 3mm thick and 14mm wide, the storage groove is 4mm wide, and the folding rod 316 is a round rod with a diameter of 3mm. When the folding ring 312, the folding sleeve 314, and the folding rod 316 are fully unfolded, they can act as a handle to drive the rotating disk 310 to rotate. The folding ring 312 allows the user's fingers to pass through, forming a handheld support with the rotating disk 310. When the folding ring 312, the folding sleeve 314, and the folding rod 316 are unfolded at a free angle, they can serve as a support for placing portable electronic devices on a table. When the folding ring 312, the folding sleeve 314, and the folding rod 316 are fully folded, they can be neatly stored on the back of the electromagnetic generator module 300.
[0071] In some alternative implementations, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the gear transmission system includes a drive gear 320, a speed-increasing transmission gear set 321, and a driven gear 322; the drive gear 320 is connected to the first rotating shaft 311; the driven gear 322 is connected to the second rotating shaft 332; the speed-increasing transmission gear set 321 meshes with the drive gear 320 and the driven gear 322 respectively.
[0072] In one specific embodiment, the drive gear 320 is directly driven by the rotating disk 310, and the diameter of the drive gear 320 is less than or equal to the diameter of the rotating disk 310. The speed-increasing transmission gear set 321 can be a combination of multiple sequentially meshing double-layer gears tightly stacked together. Figure 6 and Figure 7 (Example of this situation) It can also be a combination of multiple planetary speed-increasing gear sets stacked together, or a combination of double-layer gears and planetary gears. The speed-increasing transmission gear set 321 increases speed step by step and outputs to the driven gear 322 of the last stage.
[0073] In some alternative embodiments, the gear transmission system further includes a pawl assembly to prevent structural damage to the gear transmission system caused by sudden changes in motion.
[0074] In some alternative implementations, such as Figure 7 As shown, the driven gear 322, the magnet rotor 331 and the coil stator 330 are arranged sequentially from the inside to the outside along the thickness direction of the third housing 301. The coil stator 330 is preferentially attached to the third housing 301 to facilitate heat dissipation of the coil stator 330 by the third housing 301.
[0075] In some alternative implementations, such as Figure 6 As shown, the third housing 301 has a T-shaped planar shape (matching the T-shaped multi-purpose splicing slot 210). Two sets of the magnetic rotors 331 and the coil stators 330 are symmetrically arranged in the horizontal direction of the T-shape. The gear transmission system is set in the vertical direction of the T-shape. The emergency power generation is increased by increasing the number of sets of the magnetic rotors 331 and the coil stators 330.
[0076] In some alternative implementations, besides Figure 7 The example shows a double-overlapping arrangement of the magnet rotor 331 and the coil stator 330; alternatively, a triple-overlapping arrangement of the magnet rotor 331, the coil stator 330, and the magnet rotor 331 can be used. In this structural form, a heat-conducting component connected to the third housing 301 is added around the coil stator 330, that is, the emergency power generation is increased by adding magnetic lines of force.
[0077] In some alternative embodiments, the magnet rotor 331 preferably employs a permanent magnet with high magnetic induction, such as... Figure 6 As shown, multiple pairs of permanent magnets are arranged in a ring around the circumference with alternating magnetic poles.
[0078] In some alternative embodiments, the support disk of the coil stator 330 winding is made of a silicon substrate, and the coil is wound with high-purity and ultra-fine diameter enameled copper wire in multiple turns.
[0079] The current generated by the coil stator 330 flows into the supercapacitor 341 after passing through the rectifier transformer 340.
[0080] In some alternative embodiments, the material of the third housing 301 is the same as that of the second housing 200.
[0081] In some alternative implementations, the slot is used to accommodate and connect smaller modular peripheral hardware, which has power supply and data connectivity functions.
[0082] The modular peripheral hardware refers to specific functional physical devices packaged into modules, including main functional hardware of portable electronic devices, auxiliary functional hardware, high-quality multimedia device hardware, edge AI hardware, optical signal receiving and photoelectric conversion hardware, physical security device hardware, and / or professional electronic tool replacement hardware supplemented by APP.
[0083] The portable electronic devices mainly include functional hardware such as processors (CPU, GPU, etc.) and RAM; auxiliary functional hardware such as infrared transmitters, NFC chips, satellite communication chips, and adapters; high-quality multimedia hardware such as screen projectors, external cameras, projection devices, and professional imaging kits; edge AI hardware such as SOCs and NPUs; optical signal receiving and photoelectric conversion hardware such as laser sensors and silicon photonics chips; physical security hardware such as USB keys, dongles, and dedicated physical security hardware for intelligent robots, autonomous driving, and smart home remote control; and professional electronic tool replacement hardware supplemented by an app such as medical biosensors and industrial electromagnetic detection probes.
[0084] In some optional embodiments, the card slot includes a baffle, a frame-type slot support, and an elastic member; the baffle ensures that the card slot is flush with the outer side of the second housing 200 when inserted into the cavity, providing a protective function; the frame-type slot support is used to accommodate and position the modular peripheral hardware, and has a matching circuit connected to its end. The modular peripheral hardware is placed in the frame-type slot support and connected to the circuit board of the integrated box through the matching circuit at its end, and then connected to the portable electronic device system through the USB plug 101; in this embodiment, the card slot is designed to accommodate different sizes of the modular peripheral hardware, and is divided into three standard sizes: large, medium, and small (i.e., the first built-in card slot 240, the second built-in card slot 241, and the third built-in card slot 242). The modular peripheral hardware integrated into the integrated box also responds to the three standard sizes accordingly; when the modular peripheral hardware responds to the standard size and has an integrated matching circuit, it can also be directly inserted into the card slot without the frame-type slot support; several card slots can flexibly connect the modular peripheral hardware as a way to upgrade and add functions to the portable electronic device, and can also be directly applied to the portable electronic device body.
[0085] In some alternative implementations, when the modular peripheral hardware is too large, exceeding the card slots of the three standard sizes, it can be detachably connected to the multi-purpose splicing slot 210; for example, an additional status display screen, which can be a color screen or an e-ink screen, can provide users with information such as battery level, status, and prompts; for example, a heat sink, with a heat spreader plate set on the inner layer 201 and then connected to the multi-purpose splicing slot 210 through a heat-conducting plate, and a liquid-cooled and / or air-cooled heat sink set in the multi-purpose splicing slot 210 to dissipate the transferred heat; for example, an external GPU is set in the multi-purpose splicing slot 210, and the external GPU is encapsulated in a liquid-cooled and / or air-cooled heat sink.
[0086] This embodiment describes a modular peripheral integration box. The first housing 100 serves as a protective shell for the portable electronic device, protecting it while facilitating connection and integration. The second housing 200 acts as a carrier for modular expansion, housing the circuitry for extended functions. The multi-purpose splicing slot 210 enables rapid connection of different modules to the integration box, thereby expanding the functionality or enhancing the performance of the portable electronic device. The card slot provides a feasible solution for adding increasingly miniaturized modular peripheral hardware to the portable electronic device. Since the card slot in this embodiment has different sizes, it can be used to connect modular peripheral hardware of different sizes, meaning it is suitable for modular peripheral hardware with different functions and sizes. The electromagnetic generator module 300 can provide emergency power to the portable electronic device without external power, providing emergency protection for users during outdoor activities or in the event of typhoons, earthquakes, or other major disasters. In the event of a prolonged power outage due to a natural disaster, this function can support portable electronic devices to restore communication in a short time, which is of practical value for personal safety, emergency rescue, disaster relief, and socio-economic operation. The additional battery cell can increase the power capacity of portable electronic devices, improving their battery life. The modular peripheral hardware can expand the functionality or performance of portable electronic devices. This integrated box can meet the needs of portable electronic device users to upgrade and add functions, giving users the right to choose. This solution allows portable electronic devices to be more conveniently and efficiently compatible with necessary physical security hardware, enabling users to remotely control multiple important devices such as personal financial systems, autonomous vehicles, and intelligent robots through portable electronic devices, balancing safety and convenience. This solution provides conditions for the development of professional electronic tools in various industries based on portable electronic devices, opening up more development space for "portable electronic device+", and further enhancing the value and role of portable electronic devices as a comprehensive personal terminal platform.

[0088] Not shown, the modular peripheral integration box of this utility model differs from that of Embodiment 1 in that the integration box of this embodiment is applicable to foldable screen portable electronic devices.
[0089] For portable electronic devices that are "small foldable screens" that fold vertically, in order to transform traditional flat-screen portable electronic devices, Figure 1 and Figure 2 For example, we can Figure 1 and Figure 2The modular peripheral integration box shown is cut off by a horizontal axis, forming two parts: an upper integration box and a lower integration box. These parts are respectively connected to the upper and lower parts of the vertically folding portable electronic device. When the vertically folding portable electronic device is flattened, the upper and lower integration boxes are connected. When the vertically folding portable electronic device is bent, the hinge of the portable electronic device is exposed between the upper and lower integration boxes.
[0090] In some alternative implementations, the upper and lower integrated boxes are connected by flexible structures such as fabric tape, chains, and rubber components.
[0091] For portable electronic devices with "large folding screens" that unfold to the left and right, Figure 1 and Figure 2 For example, you can Figure 1 and Figure 2 Based on this, at least the sidewall on the hinge side of the first housing 100 is removed, and then a separate first housing 100 is added, again at least the sidewall on the hinge side of the portable electronic device is removed.
