[0029] Some embodiments of this disclosure will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. Various changes, modifications, and equivalents of the methods, apparatus, and / or systems described herein will become apparent upon understanding this disclosure. For example, the order of operations described herein is merely illustrative and is not limited to those orders set forth herein, but can be changed as will become apparent upon understanding this disclosure, except for operations that must be performed in a particular order. Furthermore, for clarity and brevity, descriptions of features known in the art may be omitted.

[0030] The embodiments described in the following examples of this disclosure are not representative of all embodiments consistent with this disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0031] Figure 1 This is a structural diagram of screen 1 and middle frame 2 in a related technology. Figure 2 This is a structural diagram of screen 1 and mid-frame 2 in another related technology, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in related technologies, electronic devices typically use adhesive material 31 to bond the glass cover plate 11 of the screen 1 to the middle frame 2. For example... Figure 1As shown, the adhesive material 31 can be a dispensing adhesive. This fixing method requires the use of dispensing equipment. The adhesive is applied to the middle frame 2 using the dispensing equipment, and then the screen 1 is installed on the middle frame 2, so that the glass cover 11 of the screen 1 is bonded to the middle frame 2 through the adhesive. After the screen 1 and the middle frame 2 are left to stand under a certain pressure, the adhesive solidifies, bonding the screen 1 to the middle frame 2. However, this fixing method means that when the screen 1 needs to be replaced in an electronic device, the dispensing equipment must be used to reinstall the screen 1. Figure 2 As shown, in another related technology, the adhesive material 31 can be double-sided tape. Although this fixing method does not require the use of dispensing equipment, it still requires auxiliary tools such as a heating table, suction cups, and disassembly prying tools when disassembling the screen 1. Furthermore, after disassembling the screen 1, it is necessary to clean the residual double-sided tape on the glass cover 11 or the middle frame 2 of the screen 1, which is a rather cumbersome operation.

[0032] In view of this, some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a housing assembly and an electronic device, wherein the cover plate 12 is fixed to the middle frame 2 by a fastener 4 and the fastener 4 is detachably connected to the middle frame 2. Thus, by removing or installing the fastener 4 and the middle frame 2, the screen 1 located on the side of the cover plate 12 can be removed or installed to the middle frame 2, which facilitates the replacement of the cover plate 12 or the screen 1 by the electronic device.

[0033] Figure 3 This is a partial cross-sectional view of a housing assembly 10 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the housing assembly 10 includes a cover plate 12, a middle frame 2, and a fastener 4. The cover plate 12 is disposed on the middle frame 2. The fastener 4 is detachably connected to the middle frame 2. When the fastener 4 is connected to the middle frame 2, the cover plate 12 is fixed to the middle frame 2 by the fastener 4.

[0034] The cover plate 12 can be a separate component, forming a cavity 7 between it and the middle frame 2 for mounting the screen 1. Alternatively, the cover plate 12 can be part of the screen 1, located on the display side of the screen 1, with its four ends protruding from the main body of the screen 1 for connection with the middle frame 2. The middle frame 2 has a positioning surface 22 that matches the protruding portion of the cover plate 12. When installing the screen 1, the cover plate 12 is fastened to the middle frame 2, with the protruding portion of the cover plate 12 contacting the positioning surface 22 of the middle frame 2, forming a cavity 7 between the cover plate 12 and the middle frame 2, with the main body of the screen 1 located inside the cavity 7. A fastener 4 is installed on the middle frame 2, fixing the fastener 4 to the middle frame 2. When the fastener 4 is connected to the middle frame 2, the cover plate 12 of the screen 1 is fixedly connected to the middle frame 2 via the fastener 4, thus facilitating the installation of the screen 1. Since the fastener 4 is detachably connected to the middle frame 2, the screen 1 can be disassembled from the middle frame 2 by removing the fastener 4 from the middle frame 2. Compared with the connection method in related technologies where the cover plate 12 of the screen 1 is fixed to the middle frame 2 by adhesive bonding, the connection method between the cover plate 12 and the middle frame 2 in the embodiment of this disclosure is more convenient for installing and disassembling the screen 1.

[0035] In the embodiments of this disclosure, the fastener 4 is located at the connection between the cover plate 12 and the middle frame 2, facilitating connection to both the cover plate 12 and the middle frame 2. The fastener 4 includes a connecting portion 42 and a clamping portion 41. The connecting portion 42 is detachably connected to the middle frame 2. When the connecting portion 42 is connected to the middle frame 2, the clamping portion 41 is located at the periphery of the cover plate 12, with a portion of the clamping portion 41 located on the side of the cover plate 12 opposite to the middle frame 2. For example, when the connecting portion 42 is connected to the middle frame 2, the fastener 4 is fixedly connected to the middle frame 2, thereby fixing the clamping portion 41 relative to the middle frame 2. A portion of the clamping portion 41 and the positioning surface 22 of the middle frame 2 are located on opposite sides of the end of the cover plate 12, thus achieving fixation of the cover plate 12.

[0036] In the embodiments of this disclosure, the fastener 4 has a ring-shaped structure. When the fastener 4 is connected to the middle frame 2, the connecting part 42 is sleeved on the outside of the middle frame 2 and is detachably connected to the outside of the middle frame 2. The pressing part 41 is arranged along the edge of the cover plate 12 for fixing the cover plate 12.

[0037] In the embodiments of this disclosure, the connecting part 42 is snapped into the middle frame 2. The connection between the connecting part 42 and the middle frame 2 via a snap-fit ​​mechanism facilitates the installation and removal of the fixing member 4, the cover plate 12, and the middle frame 2. When installing the screen 1, the cover plate 12 is placed on the fixing surface of the middle frame 2, and the fixing member 4 is then placed on the end of the cover plate 12. Applying pressure to the fixing member 4 causes the connecting part 42 to snap into the middle frame 2, thus completing the installation of the screen 1. When removing the screen 1, a disassembly tool is inserted into the gap between the fixing member 4 and the middle frame 2 to separate the snap-fit ​​connecting part 42 from the middle frame 2. The disassembly tool is then slid along the gap between the fixing member 4 and the middle frame 2 to completely separate the connecting part 42 from the middle frame 2. The fixing member 4 and the cover plate 12 are then removed sequentially to complete the removal of the screen 1.

[0038] Compared to methods that use adhesive or double-sided tape to install the cover plate 12, this embodiment of the present disclosure eliminates the need for adhesive dispensing equipment when installing the screen 1, saving the time required for pressure holding and settling, thus improving production line efficiency and reducing costs. Disassembly of the screen 1 also eliminates the need for a heating table and avoids leaving any residual adhesive after disassembly. Furthermore, users can assemble the screen 1 without any tools and disassemble it using only a disassembly tool, making the operation quite convenient.

[0039] In the embodiments of this disclosure, the connecting part 42 has a buckle, and the middle frame 2 has a buckle groove 21 that matches the buckle. The buckle is located inside the annular structure of the fixing member 4, and the buckle groove 21 is located on the outer wall of the middle frame 2. When the buckle is located in the buckle groove 21, the connecting part 42 is engaged with the middle frame 2. The structure is relatively simple and easy to process and manufacture.

[0040] Figure 6 This is a partial cross-sectional view of a housing assembly 10 according to other embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 7 This is a partial cross-sectional view of a housing assembly 10 according to other embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 8 This is a partial cross-sectional view of the cover plate 12 shown according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, in the embodiments of this disclosure, the cover plate 12 has a recess 121, which is connected to both the end face and the side face of the cover plate 12. The recess 121 matches the pressing part 41. For example, the inner side of the recess 121 is curved, and the portion of the pressing part 41 that matches the recess 121 is also curved, and has the same curvature as the inner side of the recess 121. When the connecting part 42 is connected to the middle frame 2, a portion of the pressing part 41 is located inside the recess 121. Since the portion of the pressing part 41 is located on the side of the cover plate 12 away from the middle frame 2 when the connecting part 42 is connected to the middle frame 2, and the side of the cover plate 12 away from the middle frame 2 is the side facing the user. By providing the recess 121 on the cover plate 12, a portion of the pressing part 41 can be located inside the recess 121, reducing the protrusion height of the pressing part 41 on the side of the cover plate 12 away from the middle frame 2 relative to the overall cover plate 12.

[0041] For example, when the fastener 4 is installed on the middle frame 2, the clamping part 41 has a preset distance between itself and the main body of the cover plate 12 on the side of the cover plate 12 away from the middle frame 2. This preset distance is less than or equal to a preset value to avoid a significant step difference between the clamping part 41 and the cover plate 12, which would affect the user experience. The preset value can be 0, meaning that when the fastener 4 is installed on the middle frame 2, the clamping part 41 is flush with the cover plate 12 on the side of the cover plate 12 away from the middle frame 2.

[0042] In the embodiments of this disclosure, the cover plate 12 has at least two bends around its perimeter, forming recesses 121. The perimeter of the cover plate 12 is formed by a hot bending process, thereby creating the recesses 121. Compared to slotting the end of the cover plate 12, the hot bending process does not damage the strength of the end of the cover plate 12, preventing damage to the cover plate 12 from the clamping part 41.

[0043] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8 As shown, the cover plate 12 is provided with an ink layer 123. The ink layer 123 is located on the side of the cover plate 12 facing the middle frame 2, and the ink layer 123 covers at least one bend of the cover plate 12.

[0044] like Figure 3 As shown in the embodiments of this disclosure, the housing assembly 10 further includes a buffer member 5. When the fastener 4 is connected to the middle frame 2, the fastener 4 is connected to the cover plate 12 through the buffer member 5. By providing the buffer member 5, the pressing part 41 of the fastener 4 is prevented from directly contacting the cover plate 12, thus preventing damage to the cover plate 12 caused by the pressing part 41.

[0045] The buffer 5 is located on the inner side of the recess 121. When the fixing part 4 is connected to the middle frame 2, the buffer 5 located between the pressing part 41 and the recess 121 is squeezed and deformed to improve the fixing effect of the pressing part 41 on the cover plate 12 and improve the sealing effect between the fixing part 4 and the cover plate 12, preventing water vapor from entering and causing corrosion to the electrical components in the cavity 7.

[0046] Figure 6 This is a partial cross-sectional view of a housing assembly 10 according to other embodiments of the present disclosure, such as... Figure 6 As shown in the embodiments of this disclosure, the fastener 4 further includes a reinforcing rib 44. The reinforcing rib 44 is disposed on the side of the fastener 4 facing the cover plate 12, and the reinforcing rib 44 is connected to the clamping part 41. When the fastener 4 is connected to the middle frame 2, a portion of the clamping part 41 bends towards the cover plate 12, and this bent portion is located inside the recess 121 of the cover plate 12 for fixing the cover plate 12. The reinforcing rib 44 is connected to the bent portion of the clamping part 41 facing the cover plate 12. By providing the reinforcing rib 44, the bent portion of the clamping part 41 facing the cover plate 12 is ensured to have good strength.

[0047] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the cover plate 12 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 5 yes Figure 4 A magnified view of a portion of region A in the image. (See image below.) Figures 4 to 6 As shown, in the embodiments of this disclosure, the edge of the cover plate 12 is provided with a clearance notch 122. When the fastener 4 is connected to the middle frame 2, the reinforcing rib 44 is located within the clearance notch 122. By providing a clearance notch 122 at the end of the cover plate 12 to avoid the reinforcing rib 44, the reinforcing rib 44 is prevented from affecting the cover plate 12 during installation.

[0048] In some embodiments, the positioning surface 22 of the middle frame 2 is provided with a positioning part, which matches the clearance notch 122. When the cover plate 12 is placed on the positioning surface 22 of the middle frame 2, the positioning part and the clearance notch 122 cooperate to ensure the accurate installation position between the cover plate 12 and the middle frame 2. For example, a plurality of clearance notches 122 are provided along the four edges of the cover plate 12, some of which are used to avoid the reinforcing rib 44 of the fastener 4, and others are used to cooperate with the positioning part for positioning.

[0049] In some embodiments, on the display side of the screen 1, the depth of the clearance notch 122 of the cover plate 12 does not exceed the length of the bent portion of the pressing part 41 toward the side of the cover plate 12, thereby preventing the user from seeing the clearance notch 122 of the cover plate 12 on the display side of the screen 1, which would affect the user experience.

[0050] In embodiments of this disclosure, the housing assembly 10 further includes a seal. When the fastener 4 is connected to the middle frame 2, the seal is connected to both the fastener 4 and the middle frame 2. The seal is provided to improve the sealing effect between the fastener 4 and the middle frame 2.

[0051] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the sealing element can be a sealing strip 43. The outer wall of the middle frame 2 has a stepped structure, and part of the fastener 4 is located in the stepped structure, so that the outer side of the fastener 4 can be flush with the middle frame 2 after it is connected to the middle frame 2. The part of the fastener 4 located in the stepped structure is connected to the middle frame 2 by the sealing strip 43.

[0052] like Figure 7 As shown, in some other embodiments, the sealing element can be double-sided adhesive tape 23, and the fastener 4 is disposed around the outer wall of the middle frame 2. The end of the fastener 4 away from the cover plate 12 is connected to the middle frame 2 via double-sided adhesive tape 23. Because the fastener 4 covers the outer wall of the middle frame 2, the CMF (Color, Material, Finish) process of the middle frame 2 can be entirely processed on the outer surface of the fastener 4, thereby avoiding the high manufacturing cost required for the CMF process in a one-piece molded middle frame 2.

[0053] The housing assembly 10 also includes a rear cover 6. The rear cover 6 and the cover plate 12 are located on opposite sides of the middle frame 2. The fastener 4 is bonded to the rear cover 6 and the middle frame 2 respectively through a sealing element. The end of the fastener 4 away from the cover plate 12 is bonded to the middle frame 2 on the same side of the double-sided adhesive 23, and the other side of the double-sided adhesive 23 is used to bond the rear cover 6. This improves the sealing between the fastener 4 and the middle frame 2 while enabling the installation of the rear cover 6.

[0054] In some embodiments, the fixing member 4 is provided with a positioning flange 46, which matches the edge of the back cover 6. The positioning flange 46 is located at the end of the fixing member 4 away from the pressing part 41. The positioning flange 46 is used to position the back cover 6 and improve the installation accuracy of the back cover 6.

[0055] like Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the fastener 4 further includes a reinforcing plate 45. The reinforcing plate 45 is located inside the main body of the fastener 4, with one side of the reinforcing plate 45 facing the middle frame 2. By providing the reinforcing plate 45, the strength of the fastener 4 is improved.

[0056] In some embodiments, the fastener 4 is manufactured using an injection molding process, and the reinforcing plate 45 is provided with adhesive-pull holes to enhance the connection strength between the reinforcing plate 45 located inside the fastener 4 and the fastener 4.

[0057] Based on the same concept, embodiments of this disclosure also provide an electronic device that includes the housing assembly 10 involved in any of the above embodiments.

As used herein, the term "and / or" includes any of the associated listed items and any combination of any two or more; it should be understood that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "joining," "attaching," "mounting," "connecting," "linking," "fixing," etc., used in the embodiments of this disclosure should be interpreted broadly, for example, as a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; as a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or a communicative connection; as a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; as a connection within two elements or an interaction between two elements, unless otherwise expressly limited. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meaning of the above terms herein according to the specific circumstances.

[0072] Furthermore, the term "above" as used herein with respect to components, elements, or material layers formed or located "above" a surface may be used to indicate that the component, element, or material layer is "indirectly" positioned (e.g., placed, formed, deposited, etc.) on the surface such that one or more additional components, elements, or layers are arranged between the surface and the component, element, or material layer. However, the term "above" as used with respect to components, elements, or material layers formed or located "above" a surface may also optionally have a specific meaning: that the component, element, or material layer is "directly" positioned (e.g., placed, formed, deposited, etc.) on the surface, for example, in direct contact with the surface.

[0073] It should be understood that spatial relative terms, such as “above,” “upper,” “below,” and “lower,” are used herein to describe the relationship between one element and another shown in the figures. In addition to the orientation depicted in the figures, these spatial relative terms are also intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation. For example, if the device in the figures is flipped, an element described as “above” or “upper” relative to another element would be “below” or “lower” relative to that other element. Thus, depending on the spatial orientation of the device, the term “above” encompasses both above and below orientations. Devices may have other orientations (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative terms used herein should be interpreted accordingly.

[0074] Although terms such as “first,” “second,” and “third” may be used herein to describe various components, parts, regions, layers, or sections, these components, parts, regions, layers, or sections are not limited to these terms. Rather, these terms are used only to distinguish one component, part, region, layer, or section from another. Therefore, without departing from the teachings of the examples described herein, a first component, part, region, layer, or section mentioned in the examples may also be referred to as a second component, part, region, layer, or section. Furthermore, the terms “first” and “second” are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as “first” or “second” may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature.

[0075] It is further understood that the terms "first," "second," etc., are used to describe various types of information, but this information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish information of the same type from one another, and do not indicate a specific order or degree of importance. In fact, the expressions "first," "second," etc., are completely interchangeable. For example, without departing from the scope of this disclosure, first information can also be referred to as second information, and similarly, second information can also be referred to as first information.

[0076] In this description, "multiple" means at least two, referring to two or more, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified. Other quantifiers are similar. The singular forms "a," "the," and "the" are also intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, unless otherwise specified or clearly indicated from the context, the articles "a" and "an" as used in this application and the appended claims are generally understood to mean "one or more."

[0077] It should be understood that, unless otherwise specifically indicated, features of various embodiments of this disclosure described herein can be combined with each other. As used herein, the term "and / or" includes any one of the related listed items and any combination of two or more; "and / or" describes the association relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships may exist, for example, A and / or B can represent: A alone, A and B simultaneously, and B alone. The character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects are in an "or" relationship. Similarly, "at least one of..." includes any one of the related listed items and any combination of two or more.

[0078] Furthermore, the term "exemplary" is used herein to indicate that it serves as an example, instance, or illustration. Any aspect or design described herein as "exemplary" is not necessarily to be construed as advantageous compared to other aspects or designs. Rather, the use of the term "exemplary" is intended to present concepts in a concrete manner. As used herein, the term "or" is intended to indicate an inclusive "or" rather than an exclusive "or." That is, unless otherwise specified or clear from the context, "X applies A or B" is intended to indicate any of the natural inclusive permutations. That is, if X applies A; X applies B; or X applies both A and B, then applying A or B satisfies the condition under any of the foregoing instances.

[0079] Similarly, although this disclosure has been shown and described with respect to one or more implementations, equivalent variations and modifications will occur to those skilled in the art upon reading and understanding the specification and drawings. This disclosure includes all such modifications and variations and is limited only by the scope of the claims. In particular, with respect to the various functions performed by the components described above (e.g., elements, resources, etc.), unless otherwise indicated, the terminology used to describe such components is intended to correspond to any component (functionally equivalent) that performs the specific function of the described component, even if it is not structurally equivalent to the disclosed structure. Furthermore, although specific features of this disclosure may have been disclosed with respect to only one of several implementations, such features may be combined with one or more other features of other implementations, as may be desired and advantageous to any given or particular application. Moreover, with regard to the terms “comprising,” “owning,” “having,” “having,” or variations thereof as used in this disclosure, such terms are intended to be inclusive in a manner similar to the term “including.”

[0080] Other embodiments of this disclosure will readily occur to those skilled in the art upon consideration of the specification and practice of the utility model disclosed herein. This application is intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of this disclosure that follow the general principles of this disclosure and include common knowledge or customary techniques in the art not disclosed herein.

[0081] It should be understood that this disclosure is not limited to the precise structures described above and shown in the accompanying drawings, and various modifications and changes can be made without departing from its scope. The scope of this disclosure is limited only by the appended claims.
