[0040] Techniques, methods, and equipment known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, they should be considered part of the specification.

[0041] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this disclosure proposes an electronic device comprising: a first body 10, a target component 20, and a target functional layer 30;

[0042] The first body 10 may include a first region 11 and a second region 12. The first region 11 may be provided with a connecting component 00. The surfaces of the first region 11 and the second region 12 may not satisfy the coplanar condition.

[0043] Target component 20 can be connected to the first body 10 via connecting component 00;

[0044] The target functional layer 30 can be set in the first region 11 and can at least cover part of the connecting component 00. The surface of the target functional layer 30 in the first region 11 can be coplanar with the second region 12.

[0045] The first body 10 can be the basic part of an electronic device, and can include a first region 11 and a second region 12. The connecting component 00 is disposed in the first region 11. The surface of the first region 11 can be understood as the surface of the first region 11 on which the connecting component is disposed. The surface of the first region 11 and the surface of the second region 12 can satisfy the condition of non-coplanarity, which can be understood as the existence of a high-low level difference between the first region 11 and the second region 12.

[0046] The connecting component 00 can be disposed within the first region 11 and can be used to connect the target component 20 to the first body 10. The connecting component 00 may include physical connection mechanisms, such as screws, clips, hinges, magnetic components, etc., or it may also be an electrical connection interface, such as pins, contacts, wireless charging connections, etc., depending on the needs of the device.

[0047] The target component 20 can be a part of the electronic device as a whole, and can form a complete device with the first body 10 through the connection component 00. For example, if the electronic device is a laptop computer and the first body 10 can be the system end, then the target component 20 can be the second body 21 of the laptop computer, that is, the display end.

[0048] The target component 20 can also be a component attached to the first body 10, and can be fixed by connecting component 00. The target component 20 can be a functional expansion component, such as a camera module, storage expansion module, wireless charging module, or external keyboard, stylus storage module, etc. The target component 20 can depend on the type of electronic device and its expected functional expansion needs.

[0049] The target functional layer 30 can serve as a cover and filler, and can be made of polyurethane, rubber, thermoplastic polyurethane elastic materials, and polyester film (mylar), etc., all of which have flexibility and extensibility and can be tightly bonded to uneven surfaces.

[0050] The target functional layer 30 can be set in the first area 11 and can at least cover part of the connecting component 00 to fill the step difference between the first area 11 and the second area 12, so that when the target functional layer 30 is laid, the surface of the first area 11 can be coplanar with the surface of the second area 12, which not only improves the consistency and aesthetics of the device appearance, but also ensures a smooth feel when the user uses it.

[0051] By setting the target functional layer 30 in the first region 11, the difference in height between the first region 11 and the second region 12 can be filled. This not only significantly improves the smoothness and consistency of the device appearance and enhances the user's operating experience, but also provides additional protection for internal components, thereby improving aesthetics, practicality and reliability.

[0052] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the first region 11 can be a groove structure disposed on the surface of the first body 10 and / or the first region 11 can also be a hollow structure disposed on the surface of the first body 10.

[0053] Understandably, the first area 11 can adopt a groove structure or a hollow structure, which can increase the flexibility of the installation of the target part 20 and the first body 10, and also improve the space utilization rate.

[0054] When the first region 11 is a groove structure, a recessed structure can be formed on the surface of the first body 10, which can create a region on the device surface that is lower than the surrounding plane, thereby forming a receiving space. This region can be used to accommodate various components, such as connection components 00, sensors or other functional parts.

[0055] The recessed structure allows for the integration of additional functional components 20, such as cameras and fingerprint scanners, without increasing the overall thickness of the device. Furthermore, the recessed structure provides physical protection for the components, reducing the risk of damage from external impacts. The target functional layer 30 covers these components, bridging the difference in surface thickness between the recess and the second region 12, ensuring a smooth transition and improving the user experience.

[0056] Furthermore, the target functional layer 30 can be integrated according to requirements, such as touch sensing or display functions. For example, in the case of an electronic device that is a smartwatch, the recessed structure can be used to house health monitoring sensors, while the target functional layer 30 can serve as part of the touch interface, thus ensuring the integrated appearance of the device and enhancing the user's interactive experience.

[0057] With the first region 11 featuring a hollow structure, holes or spaces of various shapes can be directly drilled or cut into the first body 10. This hollow structure allows for the avoidance of critical components such as cameras, speakers, and interfaces, ensuring their proper installation and operation without obstruction. It also allows for a compact internal layout and optimized space utilization. Furthermore, it enables the connecting component 00 to connect directly to other parts of the first body 10 through the hollow area, facilitating its installation. The hollow structure also reduces overall weight without compromising structural strength and, for electronic devices requiring good heat dissipation, helps improve ventilation efficiency and lower operating temperatures.

[0058] When the target component 20 is a functional extension component such as a camera, the hollow structure allows light to pass through, and the target functional layer 30 can provide additional functions without obstructing the light path. For example, a hollow structure can be used around the camera module on the back of a mobile phone to improve the amount of light entering during shooting. At the same time, the target functional layer 30 can contain a scratch-resistant coating or other enhancement functions, such as an anti-reflective film, to improve image quality.

[0059] The target functional layer 30 fills the hollow or grooved structure, which can not only fill the step difference and make the surfaces of the first area 11 and the second area 12 coplanar, ensuring the consistency of appearance and the comfort of use, but also increase functionality. New functions can be added to the target component 20 according to actual needs, such as touch control, display information or enhanced heat dissipation. It can also provide additional protection for the target component 20 and the connecting component 00, extend the service life and maintain the performance of the device.

[0060] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5-7 As shown, the target component 20 can be the second body 21; or, the target component 20 can be a functional expansion component.

[0061] Understandably, when the target component 20 is the second body 21, the target component 20 can be part of the overall electronic device and form a complete system with the first body 10. The second body 21 can be in an electronic device with functions such as foldability, detachability, or dual-screen display.

[0062] The second body 21 is tightly connected to the first body 10 through the connecting component 00 (such as a hinge, slide rail, etc.). The connecting component is placed in the first area 11 of the first body 10. Since there is a height difference between the first area 11 and the second area 12, the target functional layer 30 can be covered on the connecting component 00 to fill the step difference caused by the height difference between the two areas, ensuring the consistency of the overall appearance of the first body 10 and the comfort of use.

[0063] For example, in the case of a laptop or a dual-screen laptop, the second body 21 can be a system component or a second display screen. One or more recessed structures or specifically shaped cutouts can be provided in the first region 11 (located on the first body 10) to house the connecting component 00 (such as a hinge), allowing the second body 21 to open and close smoothly. The target functional layer 30 covers the connecting component 00 and fills in the height difference between the first region 11 and the second region 12, providing a smooth transition and thus improving the user experience.

[0064] When the target component 20 is used as a functional expansion component, it is used to expand or enhance the original functions of the electronic device.

[0065] The functional expansion component can be a camera module; for example, in an electronic device like a smartphone, the first area 11 can be a recessed structure designed for a rear camera. The target functional layer 30 not only fills this recess to ensure a flat back surface, but can also integrate enhancements such as an anti-fingerprint coating or optical elements to improve camera performance.

[0066] The functional expansion component can also be a sensor module, and the first area 11 can be a recess for accommodating health monitoring components such as a heart rate sensor. The target functional layer 30 not only makes the surface smooth but also integrates touch sensing functionality, allowing users to interact with the device more naturally.

[0067] The functional expansion component can be a storage expansion or a battery module. In the case that the target component 20 is a memory card slot or an additional battery, the first region 11 can be a groove or hollow structure suitable for inserting such a module.

[0068] The target functional layer 30 is used for overlay to provide protection and aesthetics, ensuring that the device appearance remains clean even with the presence of expansion modules.

[0069] In summary, the target component 20 can achieve the purpose of optimizing product performance and enhancing user experience through the application of structures such as grooves, hollow structures, and target functional layers 30.

[0070] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the second region 12 can be enclosed and disposed on the outer periphery of the first region 11, and can extend to the edge of the first body 10;

[0071] The target component 20 can be a second body 21, which can be disposed on the first body 10 and can be rotated relative to the first body 10 through the connecting component 00, so that at least part of the second body 21 covers the first body 10 under the closed assembly.

[0072] The second body 21 includes a first side and a second side disposed opposite to each other;

[0073] The first side can be connected to the connection component 00 disposed in the first region 11. The connection component 00 may include a rotating shaft 03, and the axis of the rotating shaft 03 is parallel to the surface of the second region 12. The second side can rotate relative to the first body 10 about the axis, so that the electronic device can switch between a closed state and an unfolded state.

[0074] Understandably, in order to conform to the special shape and structure of electronic devices and to provide users with diverse usage modes, the second body 21 can be flipped relative to the first body 10. Since the second region 12 is arranged around the outer periphery of the first region 11 and extends to the edge of the first body 10, and since the connecting component is arranged in the first region 11, it can be understood that the connecting component 00 and the edge of the first body 10 are spaced apart, and the area between the connecting component 00 and the edge of the first body 10 is the second region 12. The second body 21 has two opposing sides, one of which is connected to the connecting component 00 and spaced apart from the edge of the first body 10, while the other side can rotate relative to the first body about the pivot 03 of the connecting component 00.

[0075] The first body 10 has a first surface and a second surface arranged opposite to each other. The first surface is used to contact the bearing surface. The second body 21 is disposed on the first body, which can be understood as the second body 21 being disposed on the second surface of the first body 10.

[0076] With the above structure, when the electronic device is closed, the second body 21 can be stacked with the first body 10 and placed close to the second surface, and can only cover a part of the first body 10. The area between the side of the second body 21 near the connecting component 00 and the edge of the first body 10 cannot be covered by the second body 21. Part of the connecting component 00 can be set in this area.

[0077] When the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the second body 21 unfolds relative to the first body 10 with the pivot 03 of the connecting component 00 as the axis, so that the second body 21 and the second surface of the first body 10 form a predetermined angle, and the unfolding action of the second body 21 relative to the first body 10 is entirely performed on the second surface of the first body 10.

[0078] For example, in a laptop, the second body 21 can be the screen, and the first body 10 can be the system. In the closed state, the screen can only cover a part of the system, and some connecting components 00 can be located on another part of the system and adjacent to the screen. This structure is suitable for high-performance gaming laptops, allowing the system to have enough space to assemble high-performance hardware and a cooling system.

[0079] The second body 21 (e.g., the screen end) is disposed on the first body 10 (e.g., the base where the keyboard and motherboard are located), and the rotation function is realized through the connecting component 00 located in the first region 11.

[0080] Since the second region 12 surrounds the first region 11 and extends to the edge of the first body 10, the first region 11 is located in the inner region of the first body 10 and is used to house the connecting component 00. Also, since the second region 12 surrounds the outer periphery of the first region 11 and extends to the edge of the first body 10, it can be ensured that the second body 21 can completely cover the first body 10, and there are still some areas of the first body 10 that are not covered by the second body 21, so that there is enough space to support its flipping operation.

[0081] The second body 21 (screen end), which is the target component 20, is connected to the first body 10 through one or more rotating shafts 03. The rotating shafts 03 enable the second body 21 to rotate relative to the first body 10, thereby realizing the transformation from the closed state to the unfolded state.

[0082] In the closed state, the second body 21 at least partially covers the first body 10. This may be to protect the screen or other sensitive components on the first body 10, or to provide a more compact form of carrying. For example, in a dual-screen laptop or foldable phone, the closed state makes the device easier to carry while protecting internal components from damage.

[0083] like Figure 6 As shown, in the unfolded state, users can use more functions or a larger display area by rotating the second body 21 to enter the unfolded state.

[0084] At this point, the second body 21 may exhibit additional displays, keyboards, or other input / output devices, greatly enhancing the functionality and flexibility of the device.

[0085] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6-7 As shown, the first body 10 may also include a third region 13, which may be arranged adjacent to the first region 11 and the second region 12.

[0086] In the closed state, the second body 21 can fit and contact the first body 10, and only covers the third region 13. The first region 11 and the second region 12 are both adjacent to the second body 21, and the surface of the target functional layer 30 in the first region 11 is coplanar with the second region 12.

[0087] Understandably, the third region 13 can be located in a different region of the same working layer of the first body 10 as the first region 11 and the second region 12.

[0088] In the case of a laptop computer, the first body 10 can be the system end, the second body 21 can be the display end, and the first area 11 can be used to set the connecting component 00, such as a hinge. Due to the existence of installation tolerance, after the connecting component 00 is installed, there is still redundant space in the first area 11, so that the first area 11 is lower than the second area 12. At this time, the target functional layer 30 fills the first area 11 so that the surface height of the target functional layer 30 is the same as the surface height of the second area 12, so that the appearance of the first body 10 is complete and smooth.

[0089] The third area 13 is the area where the keyboard is set on the first body 10. In the closed state, the second body 21 only covers this area, protecting the keyboard from the influence of the external environment, while also maintaining the consistency and smoothness of the overall appearance.

[0090] like Figure 7 As shown, when the electronic device is in a closed state, the second body 21 acts as a protective cover, effectively preventing damage to the keyboard from external factors such as dust and liquids. At this time, the target functional layer 30 is located near the second body 21 on the first body 10, and its surface is coplanar with the second region 12, solving the step difference problem caused by height differences and ensuring the consistency and aesthetics of the device surface. Furthermore, the target functional layer 30 can integrate additional functions, such as touch sensing and information display, further enhancing the user experience.

[0091] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the connecting component 00 can be a hinge component, which may include a first hinge seat 01, a first hinge seat 02, and a pivot 03;

[0092] The first hinge seat 01 can be disposed in the first region 11 of the first body 10 for fixed installation with the first body 10. The first hinge seat 02 can be rotatably connected to the first hinge seat 01 through the pivot 03 for fixed installation with the second body 21.

[0093] Understandably, the first hinge seat 01 can be a component that is fixedly installed on the first region 11 of the first body 10, serving as a fixing point for the entire hinge system and ensuring that the second body 21 can be securely connected to the first body 10.

[0094] The first hinge seat 02 is fixed to the first side of the second body 21 and can be rotatably connected to the first hinge seat 01 through the pivot 03. The damping device of the pivot 03 can provide sufficient support to maintain the stability of the second body 21 at different angles.

[0095] The pivot 03 can be a connecting component between the first hinge seat 01 and the first hinge seat 02. The axis of the pivot 03 is parallel to the surface of the second region 12, allowing the second body 21 to rotate around this axis. The pivot 03 includes a damping device to ensure that the rotation process is smooth and controllable, and to fix the angle of the screen at any position.

[0096] The connecting component 00, by employing a hinge assembly, enables the electronic device to achieve a flexible connection between the second body 21 and the first body 10, and also improves the product's functionality, aesthetics, and user experience.

[0097] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8 As shown, it may also include a first functional layer 40, which may be disposed on the surface of the target functional layer 30 facing the first region 11, so that the target functional layer 30 is fixedly connected to the connection component 00 disposed in the first region 11.

[0098] Understandably, the first functional layer 40 can be used to strengthen the stable connection between the target functional layer 30 and the connecting component 00 in the first region 11. The first functional layer 40 can be an adhesive layer with a certain thickness. The adhesive layer has adhesive force and can connect the target functional layer 30 and the connecting component 00 in the first region 11 together. It is also convenient to disassemble and assemble in the case of electronic equipment maintenance and repair, which can improve work efficiency.

[0099] The adhesive layer also boasts excellent material compatibility, enabling reliable bonding between various materials such as metals, plastics, and glass. Furthermore, the adhesive layer can elastically deform under external pressure, better adapting to minor unevenness in contact surfaces. It helps fill tiny gaps, ensuring a tight fit between components and thus improving the overall structural stability. The flexibility of the adhesive layer also allows it to cushion impacts or vibrations, helping to disperse stress.

[0100] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, it may also include a second functional layer 50, which may be stacked on the first body 10 to cover the first region 11 and the second region 12, thereby blocking the gap between the target functional layer 30 and the second region 12.

[0101] Understandably, in order to improve the consistency and aesthetics of the device's appearance, and to enhance the stability and protection of the overall structure, a second functional layer 50 is stacked and covered above the first region 11 and the second region 12.

[0102] The second functional layer 50 can not only block gaps, making the surface of the electronic device smoother and cleaner, but also prevent dust, moisture or other tiny particles from entering the device, thereby improving the device's lifespan. In addition, the second functional layer 50 can also act as a buffer, helping to evenly distribute the pressure applied to the device surface, reducing local stress concentration, and thus protecting internal components from damage.

[0103] The second functional layer 50 can be directly bonded to the surface of the first body 10 by means of glue or double-sided tape.

[0104] The second functional layer 50 can also adopt an embedded structure, so that the second functional layer 50 is firmly assembled with the surface of the first body 10. For example, a groove adapted to the second functional layer 50 is provided on the surface of the first body 10, so that the second functional layer 50 is embedded therein, thereby forming an integral part with the first body 10, so as to provide better integration and aesthetics.

[0105] The second functional layer 50 can also be fixed by means of clips, screws, etc., making it suitable for equipment that requires frequent disassembly or maintenance.

[0106] The second functional layer 50 can be a flexible covering material, such as silicone or rubber, which has good flexibility and sealing performance, can adapt to the slight unevenness of different surfaces, and provides excellent elasticity and wear resistance. It is suitable for areas that require frequent contact or friction. It can also be a metal sheet, such as stainless steel sheet, which has high strength and corrosion resistance and is suitable for areas that require additional mechanical strength and protection. It can also be a composite material, such as carbon fiber composite material, which has both high strength and lightweight properties and is suitable for high-performance electronic products. It can also be a glass fiber reinforced plastic, which has good mechanical strength and insulation properties and can achieve electromagnetic shielding.

[0107] For example, in high-performance gaming laptops, carbon fiber composite materials are used as a second functional layer 50 to enhance the structural strength and durability of the device while maintaining a lighter weight.

[0108] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the regions of the second functional layer 50 corresponding to the first region 11 and the second region 12 can satisfy the condition of having the same visual effect.

[0109] In this application, the difference in visual effects can be judged by the general attention and cognition of a person skilled in the art. If two visual effects or tactile effects are substantially indistinguishable in terms of visual effect or tactile perception, making it difficult for a person skilled in the art to distinguish them, they can be considered the same. Conversely, if two visual effects or tactile effects are different in terms of visual effect or tactile perception, making it possible for a person skilled in the art to distinguish the two visual effects or tactile effects, they can be considered different.

[0110] Satisfying the visual effect can be understood as the first area 11 and the second area 12, which are covered by the second functional layer 50, present a consistent visual effect in appearance, thereby avoiding the visual disjointedness caused by differences in materials, colors, textures or surface treatments.

[0111] To ensure that the second functional layer 50 achieves the same visual effect as the corresponding areas of the first region 11 and the second region 12, the material of the second functional layer 50 can be chosen to achieve the same visual effect. For example, if the second functional layer 50 is made of metal, a uniform brushed texture can be created on the second functional layer 50 using a metal brushing process. Even if there is a height difference between the first region 11 and the second region 12, the brushed effect will make the two regions appear as one.

[0112] The color of the second functional layer 50 can also be adjusted so that the first region 11 and the second region 12 appear to have the same hue. A uniform color (such as black, white or metallic silver) can be coated on the second functional layer 50 to mask the surface differences between the first region 11 and the second region 12.

[0113] The height difference or other surface differences between the first region 11 and the second region 12 can also be masked by applying a specific texture to the second functional layer 50.

[0114] For example, in the casing of an electronic device, a matte texture can be used to uniformly add a matte texture (such as fine particles or frosted texture) to the second functional layer 50, so that the surfaces of the covered first area 11 and the second area 12 will have a consistent matte effect, thereby achieving visual uniformity.

[0115] Alternatively, a faux leather texture can be used, which can be formed on the second functional layer 50 through embossing or spraying processes, so that users cannot perceive the difference between the first area 11 and the second area 12 after they are covered.

[0116] Regular geometric patterns (such as dot matrix, stripes or hexagonal grids) can also be printed on the second functional layer 50. Due to the repetition and regularity of the pattern itself, users will pay more attention to the overall pattern rather than the subtle differences in local surfaces.

[0117] By using textures, colors, patterns, material selection, and surface treatment processes, the first area 11 and the second area 12 covered by the second functional layer 50 can be made to maintain visual consistency, making the device surface look harmonious and consistent. This reduces visual differences between different areas, so that users will not feel abrupt due to visual inconsistencies when observing or operating the device, thereby improving the overall user experience.

[0118] In some embodiments, the call number target functional layer 30 can be a flexible polymer material.

[0119] Understandably, the target functional layer 30 is made of flexible polymer material, which can provide high flexibility and durability when applied to electronic devices. Flexible polymer material can be polyurethane (PU), polyester film (mylar), or silicone rubber, etc.

[0120] Among them, the flexible polymer material has good flexibility and ductility, and can adapt well to complex geometries and uneven surfaces, ensuring seamless bonding between the target functional layer 30 and the first region 11 and the second region 12.

[0121] Furthermore, flexible polymer materials have a certain degree of elasticity, which can act as a buffer when subjected to external impacts, protecting internal components from damage. Through their flexibility, flexible polymer materials can help disperse the stress applied to the equipment and prevent damage caused by local stress concentration.

[0122] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8 As shown, the target functional layer 30 may include an elastic layer 32 and a damping layer 31 stacked together.

[0123] Understandably, in order to further improve the overall stability and durability of electronic devices, the elastic layer 32 can provide cushioning and flexibility, while the damping layer 31 can effectively absorb and disperse vibrations.

[0124] The elastic layer 32 can be made of a highly elastic material, such as silicone, polyurethane (PU), or thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer (TPU). It can withstand bending and stretching without damage and quickly return to its original shape. Furthermore, the elastic layer 32 provides cushioning protection, absorbing external impacts and reducing direct damage to internal components. Due to its good flexibility, the elastic layer 32 can adapt well to various complex geometries and uneven surfaces, ensuring a tight fit.

[0125] The damping layer 31 is made of a material with good vibration absorption properties, such as rubber, which can effectively absorb and disperse vibration energy, reduce the possibility of vibration being transmitted to other components, and help to evenly distribute the stress applied to the equipment, avoiding damage caused by local stress concentration.

[0126] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
