[0023] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0024] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and not to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such use of data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of this application can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first," "second," etc., are generally of the same class and the number of objects is not limited; for example, a first object can be one or more. Furthermore, in the specification and claims, "and / or" indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0025] IPX8 is currently a high waterproof standard, and its corresponding waterproof solutions generally fall into two categories: 1. Screen + integrated mid-frame (with metal-embedded antennas inside the mid-frame) + battery cover. This is generally used in mid-to-high-end models, but the integrated mid-frame results in high overall cost due to antenna design requirements and manufacturing processes. 2. Screen + front shell (with the antenna flexible circuit board FPC attached to the front shell) + back shell + battery cover. This is generally used in low-to-mid-end models, but attaching the antenna FPC to the front shell requires antenna perforation and subsequent adhesive application, leading to high efficiency and cost. Furthermore, for the same overall thickness, the antenna FPC width and antenna clearance are smaller, resulting in poor antenna performance.

[0026] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides an electronic device. The electronic device provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the electronic device in this application embodiment includes: a first housing 1, a second housing 2, an antenna unit 3, and a first sealing member 4; the antenna unit 3 is attached to the side of the first housing 1 facing the second housing 2; the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 are fastened together, and the first sealing member 4 seals the gap between the antenna unit 3 and the second housing 2.

[0028] The antenna unit 3 is attached to the side of the first housing 1 facing the second housing 2. This does not affect the width of the antenna unit 3 or the antenna clearance space, and thus does not affect the antenna performance. Moreover, the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 are interlocked, and the first sealing member 4 seals the gap between the antenna unit 3 and the second housing 2. This simple sealing design not only ensures that the gaps around the entire electronic device are tightly closed, solving the waterproofing problem of the electronic device, but also reduces the waterproofing cost of the electronic device.

[0029] In some embodiments, the first housing 1 has a through hole 6, which is provided corresponding to the antenna unit 3. Here, providing the through hole 6 on the first housing 1 corresponding to the antenna unit 3 is to achieve a complete connection between the antenna unit 3 and the first housing 1, forming a complete, continuous, and sealed surface, thus providing a structural basis.

[0030] Furthermore, an adhesive component 7 is provided within the through-hole 6, and the adhesive component 7 is bonded to the antenna unit 3. Specifically, a dispensing process is used to fill the through-hole 6 with the adhesive component 7 and maintain pressure. Optionally, the adhesive component 7 is glue. Through the above treatment, a complete connection between the antenna unit 3 and the first housing 1 is achieved, forming a complete, continuous, and sealed surface. Subsequently, the gap between the antenna unit 3, which is attached to the first housing 1, and the second housing 2 is sealed by the first sealing component 4, ensuring that all gaps around the electronic device are tightly closed, thus solving the waterproofing problem of the electronic device.

[0031] In some embodiments, the electronic device further includes a battery cover 9, which is located on the side of the first housing 1 opposite to the second housing 2. The battery cover 9 is used to protect the battery inside the electronic device and ensure a safe connection between the battery and the circuitry inside the electronic device.

[0032] It should be noted that the battery cover 9 can be integrally formed with the first housing 1, or it can be detachably connected to the first housing 1.

[0033] In cases where the battery cover 9 and the first housing 1 are detachably connected, in order to achieve a sealed connection between the battery cover 9 and the first housing 1, in some embodiments, the battery cover 9 and the first housing 1 are bonded together with double-sided adhesive 10.

[0034] That is, the waterproof solution of this application embodiment can be applied to electronic devices where the first housing and the battery cover are separable, and can also be applied to electronic devices where the first housing and the battery cover are integrally formed.

[0035] Optionally, the double-sided adhesive 10 is provided corresponding to the through hole 6. This further ensures the airtightness between the battery cover 9 and the first housing 1, enhancing the waterproof effect.

[0036] In some embodiments, the antenna unit 3 is folded and attached to the side of the first housing 1 opposite to the second housing 2.

[0037] It can also be understood as follows: the first housing 1 includes a first part 11 perpendicular to the battery cover 9, and a second part 12 extending along the first part 11 near one end of the battery cover 9 and in a direction parallel to the battery cover 9; the surface of the second housing 2 corresponding to the first part 11 is the first surface of the second housing 2, and the surface of the second housing 2 corresponding to the second part 12 is the supporting surface of the second housing 2.

[0038] Antenna unit 3 is disposed on one side of the second part 12 facing the support surface of the second housing 2, and antenna unit 3 is also disposed on the side of the second part 12 away from the support surface of the second housing 2. The antenna units on the opposite sides of the second part 12 are an integral structure.

[0039] That is, a part of the antenna unit 3 is attached to the side of the first housing 1 facing the second housing 2, and the other part is folded and attached to the side of the first housing 1 away from the second housing 2. This is so as not to affect the layout design of other components inside the electronic device.

[0040] In some embodiments, the antenna unit 3 includes at least a first antenna unit 31 and a second antenna unit 32, wherein the second antenna unit 32 is sealed to the second housing 2 through a first sealing member 4.

[0041] Based on the above structural design of the first housing 1, which includes the first part 11 and the second part 12, optionally, the first antenna unit 31 is disposed on the side of the first part 11 facing the first surface of the second housing 2. Of course, the first antenna unit 31 and the second antenna unit 32 can also be integrally formed, with a gap between a portion of the first antenna unit 31 and a portion of the second antenna unit 32.

[0042] In this embodiment, at least two antenna units are provided to improve the communication quality and data transmission rate of the electronic device.

[0043] In order to realize the display function of the electronic device, in some embodiments, the electronic device further includes a screen assembly 5, which is located on the side of the second housing 2 opposite to the first housing 1.

[0044] In order to achieve a sealed connection between the screen assembly 5 and the second housing 2, in some embodiments, the screen assembly 5 and the second housing 2 are sealed together by a second seal 8.

[0045] In some embodiments, the support surface of the second housing 2 corresponds to the antenna element 3 at equal intervals.

[0046] It should be noted that the supporting surface of the second housing 2 corresponds equally to the antenna element 3. This facilitates the bonding of the first sealing element 4 between the first housing 1 and the second housing 2, ensuring a tight and sealed overall protection.

[0047] Optionally, the first sealing element 4 is foam adhesive. Of course, the first sealing element 4 is not limited to foam adhesive; it can also be silicone or glue. No specific limitation is made here.

[0048] In this embodiment, the antenna unit 3 is attached to the side of the first housing 1 facing the second housing 2. The through holes 6 on the first housing 1 corresponding to the antenna unit 3 are filled with adhesive 7 using a dispensing process, achieving a complete connection between the antenna unit 3 and the first housing 1, forming a complete, continuous, and sealed surface. Simultaneously, the supporting surface of the second housing 2 is processed to ensure that the supporting surface of the second housing 2 corresponds equally to the antenna unit 3.

[0049] During assembly, the first housing 1 is fastened onto the second housing 2. The first housing 1 and the second housing 2 are bonded together using a first sealing element and pressurized to ensure a tight and sealed overall protection. Then, through the through-hole 6 provided in the first housing 1 at the position corresponding to the antenna unit 3, the adhesive 7 is filled into the through-hole 6 using a dispensing process and pressurized. An airtightness test is then used to confirm the tightness of the seal. Waterproof sealing of other locations such as the peripheral openings can refer to relevant technical solutions.

[0050] Optionally, the first housing 1 is a plastic housing. This can further reduce the cost of the electronic device.

[0051] In this embodiment, the antenna unit 3 is attached to the first housing 1, and the sealing and waterproofing are achieved by using a foam glue machine and local dispensing to assist in sealing. The structure is simple and practical, quick to assemble, and low in cost. Moreover, the space of the antenna flexible circuit board and the antenna clearance are large, and the antenna performance is good.

[0052] It should be noted that the electronic devices in the embodiments of this application include the aforementioned mobile electronic devices and non-mobile electronic devices.

[0053] The embodiments of this application have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. The specific embodiments described above are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Those skilled in the art can make many other forms under the guidance of this application without departing from the spirit and scope of the claims, and all of these forms are within the protection scope of this application.
