Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic device technology, and in particular to a camera decorative component, housing, and electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] For electronic devices such as mobile phones and tablets, decorative camera components are usually placed on the casing of the electronic device to better protect the camera module.

[0003] In related technologies, some electronic devices have camera decorative components with two stacked decorative parts, one layer for support on the back cover and the other layer on top for supporting the lens. This design results in poor consistency in appearance and feel of the camera decorative components, affecting the aesthetics of the electronic device and the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, this application provides a camera decorative component, housing, and electronic device that can improve the appearance and feel consistency of camera device components.

[0005] Specifically, the following technical solutions are included:

[0006] In a first aspect, this application provides a camera decoration component, the camera decoration component comprising:

[0007] A support member for supporting a lens, wherein a first connecting portion protrudes from the outer wall of the first end of the support member;

[0008] A decorative element surrounds the outer periphery of the carrier. A second connecting portion protrudes from the inner wall of the first end of the decorative element. The second connecting portion is used to support the first connecting portion and is connected to the first connecting portion.

[0009] In the technical solution of this application, by setting a first connecting part and a second connecting part, and with the decorative part surrounding the outer periphery of the carrier, a stable connection between the decorative part and the carrier is achieved, while the carrier is hidden inside the decorative part. This makes the outer wall surface of the decorative part constitute the appearance surface of the camera decorative assembly, improving the appearance and feel consistency of the camera decorative assembly, which is beneficial to improving the user experience.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the decorative element is a glass or ceramic element.

[0011] The technical solution of this application achieves an all-ceramic or all-glass appearance for the camera decorative component, ensuring that all parts visible and tangible to the user are made of ceramic or glass. This significantly enhances the refinement and aesthetics of the camera decorative component, as well as its feel and texture. Furthermore, since glass or ceramic materials are lightweight, using glass or ceramic components for the decorative parts also helps reduce the weight of the camera decorative component, facilitating a slimmer and lighter design for electronic devices and improving the user experience.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the camera decoration assembly further includes a connector that is stacked on top of the decoration and connected to a second end of the decoration, wherein the orthographic projection of the decoration onto the extension plane of the connector is at least partially located on the connector.

[0013] In the technical solution of this application, the decorative part and the connector have an overlapping projection area. The decorative part and the connector can be clamped on both sides in the thickness direction of the cover, thereby improving the assembly reliability and stability of the camera decorative component and preventing the camera decorative component from detaching from the cover.

[0014] In one possible implementation, both the connector and the decorative element are metal.

[0015] In the technical solution of this application, by setting the connectors and decorative parts as metal parts, the structural strength of the camera decorative assembly is improved, and it also helps the camera module to dissipate heat.

[0016] In one possible implementation, the connector is welded to the decorative element.

[0017] In the technical solution of this application, by welding the connector and the decorative part together, the connection strength of the connector and the decorative part is improved, a stable connection between the connector and the decorative part is achieved, and moisture, dust and other substances can be prevented from entering the electronic device through the weld.

[0018] In one possible implementation, the camera decorative assembly further includes a first adhesive layer disposed on the side surface of the connector facing the decorative component.

[0019] In the technical solution of this application, the connector and the cover are bonded together, thereby fixing the camera decorative component to the cover, improving the stability of the camera decorative component and preventing the camera decorative component from shaking.

[0020] In one possible implementation, the camera decorative assembly further includes a second adhesive layer disposed between the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion.

[0021] In the technical solution of this application, while achieving reliable bonding between the decorative parts and the load-bearing parts, the sealing and waterproof performance of the camera decorative components are improved.

[0022] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a housing, the housing comprising:

[0023] The cover has mounting holes;

[0024] The camera decorative assembly provided in any embodiment of the first aspect is mounted on the cover and is at least partially located within the mounting hole.

[0025] In one possible implementation, the housing further includes a waterproof adhesive layer that fills the space between the carrier of the camera decorative assembly and the inner wall of the mounting hole.

[0026] In the technical solution of this application, by setting a waterproof adhesive layer, not only is the camera decorative component fixed and the connection strength between the carrier and the cover improved, but it also serves a waterproof function, preventing moisture, dust, etc. from entering the interior of the electronic device through the gap between the carrier and the inner wall of the mounting hole.

[0027] In one possible implementation, the housing further includes an adhesive layer disposed between the decorative element of the camera decorative assembly and the cover.

[0028] In the technical solution of this application, while achieving reliable bonding between the decorative parts and the cover, the sealing and waterproof performance of the camera decorative components are improved.

[0029] Thirdly, embodiments of this application provide an electronic device, which includes the housing provided in any embodiment of the second aspect. Attached Figure Description

[0043] Unless otherwise defined, all technical terms used in the embodiments of this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art.

[0044] To make the technical solutions and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0045] This application provides a camera decorative component, including a carrier and a decorative component.

[0046] The carrier is used to support the lens, and a first connecting part is provided on the outer wall of the first end of the carrier.

[0047] The decorative part surrounds the outer periphery of the carrier. The inner wall of the first end of the decorative part is provided with a second connecting part, which is used to support the first connecting part and connect with the first connecting part.

[0048] For example, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the camera decorative component 1 is applied to the housing 3 of the electronic device. The camera decorative component 1 is installed on the cover 31 of the housing 3. The electronic device can be a mobile phone, tablet computer, laptop computer, desktop computer, smart bracelet, smart watch, e-reader, game console and other electronic devices with camera modules.

[0049] Figure 3 for Figure 2 Sectional view along the AA direction. Figure 4 for Figure 3 Enlarged view of point B, as shown Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the upper end of the support member 11 is the first end, and the lower end of the support member 11 is the second end; the lower end of the decorative member 12 is the first end, and the upper end of the decorative member 12 is the second end.

[0050] For example, such as Figure 4 As shown, a lens backing layer 112 is provided on the end face of the first end of the carrier 11. The lens backing layer 112 is used to bond the lens 2 to the carrier 11.

[0051] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the decorative element 12 is ring-shaped, and the second connecting part 121 extends from the outside to the inside along the wall thickness direction of the decorative element 12 and protrudes relative to the inner wall of the decorative element 12, so that the longitudinal section of the decorative element 12 is approximately "L" shaped.

[0052] like Figure 4 As shown, the carrier 11 includes a connected bracket portion 113 and a mounting portion 114. The mounting portion 114 is generally sheet-shaped and has a light-transmitting hole 1141. The light-transmitting hole 1141 is a through hole, through which the camera module of the electronic device can capture objects or scenes.

[0053] The mounting portion 114 has a first surface and a second surface, the first surface and the second surface being along the thickness direction of the mounting portion 114 (i.e., Figure 4 The first surface (vertically) is opposite to the second surface, which is used to support the lens 2. The support portion 113 is connected to the second surface and protrudes relative to the second surface. For example, one end face of the first connecting portion 111 (e.g., in the vertical direction) is opposite to each other. Figure 4The upper surface shown is flush with the first surface, thereby providing a flat mounting surface for the lens 2.

[0054] like Figure 4 As shown, the first connecting part 111 is fitted onto the side surface of the second connecting part 121 near the lens 2 (that is, the side surface of the second connecting part 121 near the second end of the decorative part 12), and the second connecting part 121 provides support for the carrier 11.

[0055] The first end face of the decorative element 12 (i.e. Figure 4 The lower surface of the decorative component 12 is used to connect with the cover 31 (e.g., battery cover, back cover, etc.) of the electronic device housing 3. When the camera decorative component 1 is assembled into the housing 3 of the electronic device, the carrier 11 is hidden in the inner space of the decorative component 12. It is difficult for the user to observe and touch the carrier 11 with the naked eye. In other words, the decorative component 12 constitutes the appearance surface of the camera decorative component 1, which can be observed and touched by the user with the naked eye, thus improving the appearance consistency and feel consistency of the camera decorative component 1.

[0056] Optionally, the outer contours of the support member 11 and the decorative member 12 can be rectangular, circular, elliptical or other shapes, which can be set according to actual needs.

[0057] The camera decorative component 1 provided in this application embodiment, by setting a first connecting part 111 and a second connecting part 121, and with the decorative part 12 surrounding the outer periphery of the carrier 11, achieves a stable connection between the decorative part 12 and the carrier 11, while hiding the carrier 11 inside the decorative part 12, so that the outer wall surface of the decorative part 12 constitutes the appearance surface of the camera decorative component 1, improving the appearance and feel consistency of the camera decorative component 1, which is beneficial to improving the user experience.

[0058] In some embodiments, the decorative element 12 is a glass or ceramic element.

[0059] Decorative part 12 is made of materials such as glass or ceramic, and has the advantages of beautiful appearance, warm feel and light weight.

[0060] By using glass or ceramic for the decorative component 12, the camera decorative assembly 1 achieves an all-ceramic or all-glass appearance. This ensures that all parts visible and tangible to the user are made of ceramic or glass, significantly enhancing the refinement and aesthetics of the camera decorative assembly 1, as well as improving its feel and texture. Furthermore, since glass or ceramic materials are lightweight, using glass or ceramic for the decorative component 12 also helps reduce the weight of the camera decorative assembly 1, facilitating a slimmer and lighter design for electronic devices and improving the user experience.

[0061] In some embodiments, the camera decoration assembly 1 further includes a connector 13, which is stacked on top of the decoration 12 and connected to a second end of the decoration 12, wherein the orthographic projection of the decoration 12 on the extension plane of the connector 13 is at least partially located on the connector 13.

[0062] like Figure 4 As shown, the connector 13 is connected to the support portion 113 of the bearing portion, and the connector 13 is generally sheet-shaped.

[0063] Since the orthographic projection of the decorative element 12 on the extension plane of the connector 13 is at least partially located on the connector 13, there is an overlapping projection area between the decorative element 12 and the connector 13. The decorative element 12 and the connector 13 can be clamped on both sides in the thickness direction of the cover 31, thereby improving the assembly reliability and stability of the camera decorative assembly 1 and preventing the camera decorative assembly 1 from detaching from the cover 31.

[0064] Optionally, such as Figure 1 As shown, the connector 13 is ring-shaped, with a hollowed-out area in the middle. This design ensures sufficient contact area between the connector 13 and the support member 11 while reducing the weight of the connector 13 and the camera decorative assembly 1.

[0065] In some embodiments, both the connector 13 and the decorative element 12 are metal parts.

[0066] For example, the connector 13 is made of steel, which not only has high strength and corrosion resistance, but also has the advantage of low cost, which helps to control production costs.

[0067] In this embodiment, by setting the connector 13 and the decorative part 12 as metal parts, the structural strength of the camera decorative assembly 1 is improved, and it also helps the camera module dissipate heat.

[0068] In some embodiments, the connector 13 is welded to the decorative element 12.

[0069] In this embodiment, by welding the connector 13 and the decorative part 12 together, the connection strength of the connector 13 and the decorative part 12 is improved, a stable connection between the connector 13 and the decorative part 12 is achieved, and moisture, dust and other contaminants can be prevented from entering the electronic device through the weld.

[0070] In some embodiments, the camera decorative assembly 1 further includes a first adhesive layer 14 disposed on the side surface of the connector 13 facing the decorative member 12.

[0071] like Figure 4As shown, the first adhesive layer 14 is located on the upper surface of the connector 13. The first adhesive layer 14 is used to bond the connector 13 and the cover 31, thereby fixing the camera decorative assembly 1 to the cover 31, improving the stability of the camera decorative assembly 1, and preventing the camera decorative assembly 1 from shaking.

[0072] For example, the first adhesive layer 14 is made of waterproof adhesive (e.g., double-sided tape), which improves the sealing and waterproof performance of the camera decorative assembly 1 while ensuring reliable bonding between the connector 13 and the cover 31.

[0073] Optionally, the assembly process of the connector 13 is as follows: the first adhesive layer 14 is pre-placed on the connector 13, and then the connector 13 is welded to the carrier 11.

[0074] In some embodiments, the camera decorative assembly 1 further includes a second adhesive layer 15 disposed between the first connecting portion 111 and the second connecting portion 121.

[0075] like Figure 4 As shown, the second adhesive layer 15 is located between the first connecting part 111 and the second connecting part 121. The first connecting part 111 and the second connecting part 121 are connected by adhesive bonding, which is simple to operate and has a simple process. It achieves the connection between dissimilar materials when the materials of the carrier 11 and the decorative part 12 are different.

[0076] For example, the second adhesive layer 15 is made of waterproof adhesive (e.g., double-sided tape), which improves the sealing and waterproof performance of the camera decorative assembly 1 while ensuring reliable bonding between the decorative part 12 and the carrier 11.

[0077] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this application embodiment also provides a housing 3, which includes a cover 31 and a camera decorative component 1 provided in any of the above embodiments. The cover 31 has a mounting hole 311, and the camera decorative component 1 is mounted on the cover 31 and is at least partially located within the mounting hole 311.

[0078] For example, the housing 3 is applied to an electronic device, which can be a mobile phone, tablet, laptop, desktop computer, smart bracelet, smartwatch, e-reader, game console, or other electronic device with a camera module.

[0079] like Figure 4 As shown, the decorative element 12 is located on one side surface of the cover 31 in the thickness direction, the mounting hole 311 is a through hole, and a part of the carrier 11 is located in the mounting hole 311 and connected to the cover 31.

[0080] The shape of the mounting hole 311 can be rectangular, circular, elliptical or other shapes, and can be set according to actual needs.

[0081] The first end face of the decorative element 12 (i.e. Figure 4 The lower surface of the decorative component 12 is connected to the cover 31 (e.g., battery cover, back cover, etc.) of the electronic device housing 3. When the camera decorative component 1 is assembled into the electronic device housing 3, the carrier 11 is hidden in the inner space of the decorative component 12. It is difficult for the user to observe and touch the carrier 11 with the naked eye. In other words, the decorative component 12 constitutes the appearance surface of the camera decorative component 1, which can be observed and touched by the user with the naked eye, thus improving the appearance consistency and feel consistency of the camera decorative component 1.

[0082] The housing 3 provided in this application embodiment, by setting a first connecting part 111 and a second connecting part 121, and with the decorative part 12 surrounding the outer periphery of the support member 11, achieves a stable connection between the decorative part 12 and the support member 11, while hiding the support member 11 inside the decorative part 12, so that the outer wall surface of the decorative part 12 constitutes the appearance surface of the camera decorative assembly 1, improving the appearance and feel consistency of the camera decorative assembly 1, which is beneficial to improving the user experience.

[0083] In some embodiments, the housing 3 further includes a waterproof adhesive layer 32, which fills the space between the carrier 11 of the camera decorative assembly 1 and the inner wall of the mounting hole 311.

[0084] like Figure 4 As shown, the waterproof adhesive layer 32 is disposed around the support member 11 and fills the gap between the outer wall of the support member 11 and the inner wall of the mounting hole 311.

[0085] Optionally, the waterproof adhesive layer 32 can be at least one of hot melt adhesive, light-curing adhesive (e.g., ultraviolet light curing adhesive, i.e., UV adhesive), and thermosetting adhesive.

[0086] In this embodiment, by setting the waterproof adhesive layer 32, not only does it fix the camera decorative component 1 and improve the connection strength between the carrier 11 and the cover 31, but it also waterproofs the electronic device, preventing moisture, dust and other substances from entering the interior of the electronic device through the gap between the carrier 11 and the inner wall of the mounting hole 311.

[0087] In some embodiments, the housing 3 further includes an adhesive layer 33 disposed between the decorative element 12 and the cover 31 of the camera decorative assembly 1.

[0088] like Figure 4 As shown, the adhesive layer 33 is located between the lower surface of the decorative part 12 and the upper surface of the cover 31. The adhesive layer 33 can be made of waterproof adhesive (e.g., double-sided tape), which can improve the sealing and waterproof performance of the camera decorative assembly 1 while achieving reliable bonding between the decorative part 12 and the cover 31.
