[0034] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 This is an exploded view of the electronic device 100 provided in the embodiments of this application. Figure 2 This is an exploded view of an electronic device 100 provided in some embodiments of this application. In the embodiments of this application, the electronic device 100 includes a mid-frame 10, a first housing 21, and an accessory 22. The first housing 21 is connected to the mid-frame 10. The side of the first housing 21 away from the mid-frame 10 has a first surface 211. The first housing 21 has a first mounting position 212 on the first surface 211 away from the mid-frame 10. The accessory 22 is mounted at the first mounting position 212 and is detachably connected to the first housing 21 or rotatably connected to the first housing 21. The first housing 21 also has a connecting groove 213 on the first surface 211. The connecting groove 213 is disposed adjacent to the first mounting position 212.

[0035] In this embodiment, the electronic device 100 can have its functions enriched by connecting with the accessory 22, which improves the aesthetics and interactivity of the electronic device 100, enhances its practicality, and improves the user experience. When the accessory 22 needs to be disassembled or rotated, the user can contact the side wall of the accessory 22 through the connecting groove 213, so that the user can pry the side wall of the accessory 22 to separate the accessory 22 from the first housing 21, or rotate the accessory 22 relative to the first housing 21. This makes it convenient for the user to replace the accessory 22 or adjust its usage status, and avoids the problem of leaving glue marks on the first housing 21.

[0036] In this embodiment, the electronic device 100 can be configured as a mobile phone, tablet computer, e-book reader, earphones, earphone charging case, etc. This embodiment uses a mobile phone configuration as an example to describe the electronic device 100 in detail. Those skilled in the art should understand that... Figure 1 This is merely an example of electronic device 100 and does not constitute a limitation on electronic device 100, and electronic device 100 may include more than Figure 1 The electronic device 100 may include more or fewer components, or combinations of certain components, or different components, such as batteries, cameras, etc.

[0037] For example, accessory 22 can be a card-type ordinary recording device, AI recording element, headphones, watch, light module, card holder, aromatherapy box, stand, lanyard, etc.

[0038] In some embodiments, the accessory 22 is detachably connected to the first housing 21 so that the user can install the accessory 22 onto or remove it from the first housing 21 as needed.

[0039] In some embodiments, accessory 22 is rotatably connected to the first housing 21. When the user needs to use accessory 22, accessory 22 can be flipped open, allowing it to rotate relative to the first housing 21. Accessory 22 and the first housing 21 can be hinged. For example, accessory 22 can be configured as a stand. When the user needs to place electronic device 100 on a table, the user can flip accessory 22 open, creating an angle between accessory 22 and the first housing 21, thereby supporting electronic device 100 and allowing it to be placed at a certain angle on the table for convenient video viewing, video calls, etc.

[0040] In some embodiments, there may be multiple first mounting positions 212. Multiple accessories 22 may also be provided. Each accessory 22 is used to be assembled in its corresponding first mounting position 212. Different accessories 22 may be individually mounted on the first housing 21, or multiple accessories 22 may be simultaneously mounted on the first housing 21.

[0041] The connecting groove 213 is located at the edge of the accessory 22. One side wall of the connecting groove 213 is through the first assembly position 212, and the side wall of the accessory 22 is adjacent to the groove. The connecting groove 213 provides a clearance space for the user to contact the accessory 22. The user can contact the side wall of the accessory 22 through the connecting groove 213, so that the user can pull the side wall of the accessory 22 to separate the accessory 22 from the first housing 21, or make the accessory 22 rotate relative to the first housing 21.

[0042] For example, the first housing 21 and the accessory 22 are magnetically attached to each other, so that the user can easily connect the accessory 22 to the first housing 21. When the user removes the accessory 22 from the first housing 21 or rotates the accessory 22 relative to the first housing 21, the accessory 22 can be easily operated by simply turning it by hand without the need for additional tools, which improves the ease of use of the electronic device 100.

[0043] In some embodiments, the first housing 21 and the accessory 22 may also be connected by a snap-fit ​​connection. One of the first housing 21 and the accessory 22 is provided with snap-fit ​​teeth, and the other of the first housing 21 and the accessory 22 is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove. The first housing 21 and the accessory 22 are fixed by snapping the snap-fit ​​teeth into the snap-fit ​​groove.

[0044] In some embodiments, the first housing 21 and the fitting 22 may also be connected by screws to improve the stability of the connection between the fitting 22 and the first housing 21. The first housing 21 is provided with a threaded hole, and the fitting 22 is provided with a clearance hole for the screw to pass through. The screw passes through the clearance hole and is threadedly connected to the threaded hole to fix the fitting 22 to the first housing 21.

[0045] The electronic device 100 also includes a second housing 23. The first housing 21 has a second mounting position 214 on its first surface 211. The second housing 23 is mounted at the second mounting position 214 to be fixedly connected to the first housing 21. The second housing 23 includes a second surface 231 opposite to the first surface 211. A cavity 24 is formed between the first surface 211 and the second surface 231. The second housing 23 includes a transparent area. Within the transparent area, which is located in the projection area on the first housing 21, a decorative element 31 and / or a functional module 32 are disposed in the cavity 24.

[0046] In this embodiment, by providing a first housing 21 and a second housing 23, a decorative element 31 and / or a functional module 32 are disposed in the cavity 24 formed between the first housing 21 and the second housing 23. Through the transparent area on the second housing 23, the user can easily observe the decorative element 31 and / or the functional module 32 from the outside of the electronic device 100, thereby improving the aesthetics of the electronic device 100 and its interactivity with the user. Through the protective function of the second housing 23, the decorative element 31 and / or the functional module 32 are prevented from being directly exposed to the outside of the electronic device 100, thereby preventing the decorative element 31 and / or the functional module 32 from being worn, extending the service life of the electronic device 100, and improving the user experience.

[0047] In some embodiments, the first housing 21 is used to assemble with one of the second housing 23 and the accessory 22. The user can either assemble the second housing 23 onto the first housing 21 after removing the accessory 22 from the first housing 21, or assemble the accessory 22 onto the first housing 21 after removing the second housing 23 from the first housing 21.

[0048] In some embodiments, the first housing 21 can be simultaneously assembled with the second housing 23 and the accessory 22. The second housing 23 is provided with a clearance opening for the accessory 22, and the accessory 22 is assembled on the first housing 21 at a position corresponding to the clearance opening, to avoid structural interference between the second housing 23 and the accessory.

[0049] In some embodiments, the first housing 21 has a protrusion 2141 at the edge of its first surface 211. The protrusion 2141 protrudes from the first surface 211 toward the second housing 23. The protrusion 2141 forms a second mounting position 214. The second housing 23 is overlapped and fixed to the protrusion 2141. The second housing 23 is located on the side of the protrusion 2141 away from the first housing 21, thereby forming a cavity 24 between the first housing 21 and the second housing 23. The height of the protrusion 2141 can be specifically set according to actual needs, and is not specifically limited in this application.

[0050] In some embodiments, the protrusion 2141 may be configured as an annular protrusion surrounding the periphery of the first housing 21, so as to form a waterproof seal between the first housing 21 and the second housing 23, preventing external moisture, debris and the like from entering the cavity 24.

[0051] In some embodiments, multiple protrusions 2141 may be configured, and the multiple protrusions 2141 are arranged at intervals along the periphery of the first housing 21 to form a serrated effect between the first housing 21 and the second housing 23, thereby improving the aesthetics of the electronic device 100. An adhesive seal may be provided between adjacent protrusions 2141 to form a waterproof seal between the first housing 21 and the second housing 23 through the protrusions 2141 and the adhesive seal.

[0052] For example, the first housing 21 can be configured as a plastic part to reduce the molding difficulty of the first housing 21 and reduce the manufacturing cost of the first housing 21. In addition, configuring the first housing 21 as a plastic part can also reduce the difficulty of setting decorative parts 31, openings, etc. on the first housing 21.

[0053] In some embodiments, the first housing 21 may be configured as a non-transparent component to protect the electrical components inside the electronic device 100 from external light (sunlight, laser, etc.) affecting the normal operation of the electrical components or causing damage to the electrical components.

[0054] In some embodiments, the second housing 23 may be entirely transparent, with the transparent area covering the entire area of ​​the second housing 23. The overall transparency of the second housing 23 avoids misalignment between the decorative element 31 and / or the functional module 32 and the transparent area after assembly, thereby reducing the assembly difficulty between the decorative element 31 and / or the functional module 32 and the first housing 21, and between the second housing 23 and the first housing 21. For example, the second housing 23 may be configured as a transparent glass cover. On the one hand, this improves the wear resistance of the second housing 23 and reduces wear during use; on the other hand, the transparent glass cover reduces the shielding effect on the signal transmission and reception of the electronic device 100, thereby improving the signal connection stability of the electronic device 100 and enhancing the user experience. The transparent glass cover may be a regular transparent glass cover, or it may be an ultra-transparent glass cover to improve the transparency of the second housing 23 and enhance the aesthetics of the electronic device 100. The second housing 23 can be configured as a wear-resistant cover to improve the wear resistance of the second housing 23 and increase its service life.

[0055] In this embodiment of the application, by providing a second housing 23, when the first housing 21 is provided with a decorative element 31, the second housing 23 can provide protection for the decorative element 31, so as to prevent the patterns and textures on the decorative element 31 from being worn, and to prevent external dust and pollutants from contaminating the decorative element 31, so that the decorative element 31 can maintain its original decorative effect after the electronic device 100 has been used for a long time, thereby improving the user's experience of using the electronic device 100.

[0056] In some embodiments, the transparent area may be a local location within the second housing 23 to enhance the diversity of the appearance of the second housing 23 and improve the aesthetics of the electronic device 100.

[0057] In some embodiments, the second housing 23 is detachably connected to the first housing 21. In this embodiment, by detachably connecting the second housing 23 to the first housing 21, the user can utilize the cavity 24. When the user cannot find a suitable storage location, items can be stored in the cavity 24, thereby improving the practicality of the electronic device 100. For example, the cavity 24 can be used to hold cards, change, etc.

[0058] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a first housing 21 and a second housing 23 provided in some embodiments of this application. In some embodiments, the first housing 21 is provided with a first magnetic attractor 215, and the edge of the second housing 23 is provided with a second magnetic attractor 232. The second housing 23 is detachably assembled to the first housing 21 via the first magnetic attractor 215 and the second magnetic attractor 232. The first housing 21 and the second housing 23 are detachably connected by magnetic attraction, which has the advantages of simple structure and convenient assembly and disassembly. In some embodiments, the first magnetic attractor 215 may be provided in the protrusion 2141, or the protrusion 2141 may be configured as the first magnetic attractor 215. The first magnetic attractor 215 and the second magnetic attractor 232 may both be configured as magnetic elements (e.g., magnets), or one of the first magnetic attractor 215 and the second magnetic attractor 232 may be configured as a magnetic element, and the other of the first magnetic attractor 215 and the second magnetic attractor 232 may be configured as a non-magnetic element that can be magnetically attracted (e.g., an element made of iron, cobalt, or nickel).

[0059] The number of first magnetic components 215 and the number of second magnetic components 232 can be set to be the same. The positions of the first magnetic components 215 and the positions of the second magnetic components 232 can be set one-to-one to improve the connection stability of the first housing 21 and the second housing 23 and reduce the probability of the first housing 21 and the second housing 23 accidentally becoming loose.

[0060] In some embodiments, the number of first magnetic members 215 may differ from the number of second magnetic members 232. In some embodiments, the placement of the first magnetic members 215 may differ from the placement of the second magnetic members 232. In this case, at least one first magnetic member 215 is positioned corresponding to the second magnetic member 232 to improve the connection stability between the second housing 23 and the first housing 21.

[0061] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, a decorative element 31 is provided in the cavity 24. In some embodiments, the decorative element 31 is integrally formed with the first housing 21 to improve the integration of the decorative element 31 and the first housing 21, and to eliminate the gap between the first housing 21 and the decorative element 31. This prevents external moisture, debris, etc. from entering the middle frame 10 through the gap between the first housing 21 and the decorative element 31, which helps to improve the overall waterproof performance of the first housing 21 and eliminates the need for a seal between the first housing 21 and the decorative element 31 in the electronic device 100, thereby reducing the production and assembly costs of the electronic device 100.

[0062] In some embodiments, the decorative element 31 and the first housing 21 are disposed independently of each other. In this way, the decorative element 31 and the first housing 21 can be manufactured independently of each other. When the decorative element 31 or the first housing 21 is modified, it is possible to avoid remanufacturing the entire decorative element 31 and the first housing 21, which helps to reduce the design and development costs of the electronic device 100.

[0063] The first housing 21 has a first opening 216. A decorative element 31 is disposed on the portion of the middle frame 10 exposed above the first opening 216. In some embodiments, the decorative element 31 can be disposed independently of the middle frame 10 and fixed to the position of the middle frame 10 corresponding to the first opening 216. The decorative element 31 and the middle frame 10 can be fixedly connected together by means of adhesive, snap-fit, screw, etc. In some embodiments, the decorative element 31 can be a part of the middle frame 10, with the portion of the middle frame 10 corresponding to the first opening 216 forming the decorative element 31. The decorative element 31 can be configured as a planar pattern and / or a three-dimensional pattern disposed on the middle frame 10 at the position corresponding to the first opening 216.

[0064] Decorative element 31 includes planar patterns of different heights; and / or decorative element 31 includes three-dimensional patterns formed by 3D textures.

[0065] In some embodiments, the decorative element 31 may be configured as a planar pattern. The decorative element 31 may include multiple planar patterns with different heights to enhance the visual diversity of the decorative element 31 and improve the aesthetics of the electronic device 100.

[0066] The planar pattern includes at least one of planar text, planar graphics, planar lighting combinations, planar color combinations, and planar textures. In some embodiments, the planar pattern can be planar text, which may include the name of the electronic device 100, device parameters, user-customized text, etc. In some embodiments, the planar pattern can be a planar graphic, which may include the logo of the electronic device 100, line combinations, user-customized graphics, etc. In some embodiments, the planar pattern may include a planar lighting combination, where the decorative element 31 is configured as a light-emitting element disposed in the first opening 216, or a light-emitting element is disposed on the middle frame 10, and the decorative element 31 is configured as a light guide element for guiding the light emitted by the light-emitting element, disposed in the first opening 216. By setting the light guide element into a predetermined shape, the light emitted by the light-emitting element presents a planar lighting combination of a predetermined shape. The color of the planar lighting combination can be set to a single color or a combination of multiple colors. In some embodiments, the planar pattern may also be a predetermined planar color combination, such as different colors arranged in a specific pattern. In some implementations, the planar pattern can also be a planar texture, for example, by arranging lines or geometric shapes in a preset manner to form a preset planar texture such as a flow pattern or a ripple.

[0067] In some embodiments, the decorative element 31 includes a three-dimensional pattern formed by 3D texture to create a three-dimensional texture effect on the back side (the side opposite to the screen) of the electronic device 100. When the electronic device 100 is viewed from the back side, it presents a 3D decorative effect with depth of field, thereby enhancing the technological feel of the electronic device 100. The three-dimensional pattern is a three-dimensional structure with different protrusion heights along the thickness direction of the electronic device 100. The thickness direction of the electronic device 100 is parallel to the arrangement direction of the first housing 21 and the second housing 23. The 3D texture may include at least one of three-dimensional texture, three-dimensional text, three-dimensional graphics, three-dimensional lighting, etc. In some embodiments, the surface of the decorative element 31 facing the second housing 23 may be provided with linear grooves, geometric grooves, linear protrusions, geometric protrusions, etc., arranged in a preset manner to form 3D dot patterns, vertical lines, spark patterns, etc. on the decorative element 31. The decorative element 31 may also be decorated with colors or patterns, allowing the electronic device 100 to present different visual effects from different viewing angles, achieving a visual effect similar to a raster card. In some embodiments, the 3D texture may include a stereoscopic texture and stereoscopic lighting. The stereoscopic lighting is arranged in a preset pattern to display a predetermined graphic, thereby enhancing the 3D effect when the user observes the electronic device 100 through the combination of stereoscopic texture and stereoscopic lighting, thus improving the user experience. In this embodiment, by providing a second housing 23, which is a transparent cover with a certain thickness, the depth of field of the stereoscopic pattern can be increased, thereby enhancing the stereoscopic effect of the decorative element 31.

[0068] In some embodiments, the decorative element 31 may include planar patterns of different heights and three-dimensional patterns formed by 3D textures. The planar patterns and three-dimensional patterns may be disposed in different areas of the decorative element 31 to enhance the decorative diversity of the decorative element 31. The planar patterns and three-dimensional patterns may also be disposed in the same area of ​​the decorative element 31, with the planar pattern disposed on the surface of the three-dimensional pattern facing the second housing 23 to enhance the visual effect of the three-dimensional pattern.

[0069] In some embodiments, a functional module 32 is disposed in the cavity 24. A second opening 217 is provided in the first housing 21. The functional module 32 is disposed at the second opening 217. The functional module 32 can be configured as a lighting element, and a transparent area of ​​the second housing 23 is used to allow light emitted from the functional module 32 to pass through. The electronic device 100 can interact with the user through the lighting element. The functional module 32 includes one or more of a flash, a breathing light, a light strip, and a light array.

[0070] The electronic device 100 can display messages via the functional module 32. For example, the functional module 32 includes a light strip.

The light strip can include multiple light-emitting areas, and the electronic device 100 can control the number of illuminated areas to represent the charging progress. For example, the number of illuminated areas can increase as the charging progress increases.

[0071] In some embodiments, the functional module 32 includes a flash unit 321 and a flash cover 322. The flash cover 322 is disposed in the light path of the flash unit 321 to guide the light emitted by the flash unit 321. The flash cover 322 can be fixed in the second opening 217 of the first housing 21 by foam adhesive and / or glue. The flash unit 321 is used for supplementary lighting, illumination, etc., for shooting in the electronic device 100.

[0072] In some embodiments, the functional module 32 further includes a breathing light 323 and a breathing light cover 324. The breathing light cover 324 is disposed in the light emission path of the breathing light 323 to guide the light emitted by the breathing light 323. The breathing light cover 324 can be fixed in the second opening 217 of the first housing 21 by foam adhesive and / or glue. The breathing light 323 can be used for message prompts, safety warnings, etc. of the electronic device 100.

[0073] In some embodiments, the flash 321 and the breathing light 323 are located on different sides of the first housing 21 along the long side of the electronic device 100, so that the flash 321 and the breathing light 323 can make full use of the internal space of the electronic device 100 and improve the rationality of the arrangement of the electrical components of the electronic device 100. In some embodiments, the flash 321 and the breathing light 323 are also located on different sides of the first housing 21 along the short side of the electronic device 100.

[0074] The electronic device 100 includes a top (the end near the camera 111) and a bottom opposite the top. A flash 321 and a flash cover 322 are positioned near the top and close to the camera 111, facilitating the flash 321's illumination of the camera 111 and preventing the user's hand from obstructing the light emitted by the flash 321 when holding the electronic device 100. A breathing light 323 and a breathing light cover 324 are positioned near the bottom of the electronic device 100, reducing the distance between the breathing light 323 and the user when the electronic device 100 is placed on a table, and reducing the probability of the breathing light 323 being obstructed by books, umbrellas, or other objects, thus making it easier for the user to observe the light emitted by the breathing light 323. The flash 321 and the breathing light 323 are positioned approximately diagonally opposite each other along the electronic device 100. For example, the emission color of the breathing light 323 can be set to different colors according to design requirements to match the decorative effect of the decorative component 31 and enhance the decorative effect of the electronic device 100.

[0075] In some embodiments, the second opening 217 is provided with a third mounting position. The functional module 32 is detachably mounted at the third mounting position.

The detachable configuration of the functional module 32 allows the user to replace the functional module 32 as needed. For example, if the functional module 32 is damaged, the user can replace the functional module 32 separately without having to replace the entire first housing 21, thereby reducing the later maintenance cost of the electronic device 100.

[0076] The electronic device 100 also includes a circuit board 11. The circuit board 11 is disposed on the mid-frame 10. A functional interface 112 is provided on the circuit board 11. The functional module 32 is provided with an electrical connection port. When the functional module 32 is assembled into the first housing 21, the functional module 32 is electrically connected to the functional interface 112 via the electrical connection port, enabling the functional module 32 to perform functions such as light emission and signal transmission, improving the interactivity between the functional module 32 and the user, and enhancing the functional versatility of the electronic device 100. In some embodiments, the circuit board 11 is used to supply power to the functional module 32 through the functional interface 112 and the electrical connection port. In some embodiments, the circuit board 11 is also used to communicate with the functional module 32 through the functional interface 112 and the electrical connection port, so that the electronic device 100 can obtain the status of the functional module 32 and control the operation of the functional module 32.

[0077] In some embodiments, the functional interface 112 is also used to connect with the accessory 22, so that the electronic device 100 can power the accessory 22 through the functional interface 112 or communicate with the accessory 22 through the functional interface 112. For example, the accessory 22 can be configured as a light module. The circuit board 11 has a functional interface 112 on one side of the bottom of the electronic device 100. The first mounting position 212 is configured as an opening on the first housing 21 corresponding to the position of the functional interface 112. The functional interface 112 is provided with pins. When the light module is plugged into the functional interface 112, the electronic device 100 can power the light module through the pins, thereby causing the light module to emit light. As another example, the accessory 22 can be configured as headphones or an external screen. The functional interface 112 is provided with multiple pins. When the headphones or an external screen are plugged into the functional interface 112, the electronic device 100 can power the headphones or the external screen through the multiple pins to charge the headphones or light up the external screen. The number of pins in the functional interface 112 can be specifically set according to actual needs, and is not specifically limited in this application. The electronic device 100 is used to realize the electrical connection between the functional interface 112 and different accessories 22 through the combination of multiple pins.

[0078] In some embodiments, an indicator bit 2111 is provided on the first housing 21. The indicator bit 2111 is used to indicate a functional point in the electronic device 100. For example, an NFC module is provided on the circuit board 11. The functional point of the electronic device 100 is the location point of the NFC module. The position of the indicator bit 2111 corresponds to the position of the NFC module, so that when the user brings the electronic device 100 close to the NFC recognition device, the user can intuitively know the location of the NFC module in the electronic device 100, thereby facilitating the user to align the NFC module with the recognition position on the NFC recognition device and improving the user experience when using the NFC function. For another example, a ribbon cable interface is also provided on the circuit board 11. The functional point of the electronic device 100 is the location point of the ribbon cable interface. The ribbon cable interface can be a BTB ribbon cable interface, an FPC ribbon cable interface, etc. The functional point can also be set as the location point of other components according to the specific structure of the electronic device 100, which is not specifically limited in this application.

[0079] In some embodiments, the cavity 24 is provided with both decorative elements 31 and functional modules 32 to enhance the aesthetics of the electronic device 100 and its interactivity with the user, thereby improving the user's experience with the electronic device 100.

[0080] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 4 This is a partial cross-sectional view of the electronic device 100 provided in some embodiments of this application. Figure 5 This is a partial cross-sectional view of an electronic device 100 provided in other embodiments of this application. In some embodiments, a waterproof component 25 is provided on the first surface 211 of the first housing 21. The waterproof component 25 is sealed between the decorative element 31 and the first housing 21, and / or, the waterproof component 25 is sealed between the functional module 32 and the first housing 21. The first surface 211 of the first housing 21 has an opening at a position corresponding to the decorative element 31 and / or the functional module 32. The waterproof component 25 is disposed at the opening. The waterproof component 25 prevents external moisture and debris from entering the middle frame 10 through the opening on the first housing 21, thereby preventing contamination and corrosion of the electronic components in the middle frame 10, improving the environmental adaptability of the electronic device 100, and enhancing the user experience of the electronic device 100. In addition, by waterproofing the opening on the first housing 21 with the waterproof component 25, the second housing 23 does not need to be sealed, and the second housing 23 does not need to be waterproofed to the first housing 21. This reduces the production cost of the electronic device 100, and when the second housing 23 is removed from the first housing 21, the electronic device 100 still has good waterproof sealing capability, thus improving the practicality of the electronic device 100.

[0081] For example, the waterproof component 25 may include a sealing ring embedded in an opening in the first housing 21. In some embodiments, the waterproof component 25 may include a sealant disposed between the sidewall of the opening in the first housing 21 and the sidewall of the decorative element 31 and / or the functional module 32. In some embodiments, the waterproof component may also include other elements with waterproof sealing, which are not specifically limited herein.

[0082] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, a decorative element 31 is provided in the cavity 24, and a waterproof component 25 is sealed between the decorative element 31 and the first housing 21.

[0083] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, a functional module 32 is provided in the cavity 24, and a waterproof component 25 is sealed between the functional module 32 and the first housing 21.

[0084] In some embodiments, a decorative element 31 and a functional module 32 are provided in the cavity 24, and two waterproof components 25 are provided. One of the two waterproof components 25 is sealed between the decorative element 31 and the first housing 21, and the other is sealed between the functional module 32 and the first housing 21.

[0085] Please see Figure 2The electronic device 100 also includes a screen element 70, which is fixedly connected to the side of the middle frame 10 opposite to the second housing 23. The middle frame 10 is used to provide support for the screen element 70.

[0086] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 , Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the second housing 23, lens protection piece 41, and fixing ring 42 provided in some embodiments of this application. The electronic device 100 also includes a camera 111, a lens protection piece 41, and a fixing ring 42. The camera 111 is mounted on the circuit board 11. A first mounting hole 218 is provided at the position where the first housing 21 aligns with the camera 111. The camera 111 is exposed relative to the first housing 21 through the first mounting hole 218. A second mounting hole 233 is provided on the second housing 23. The second mounting hole 233 is positioned opposite to the first mounting hole 218. The fixing ring 42 is fixed in the second mounting hole 233 and protrudes from the side of the second housing 23 away from the first housing 21. The lens protection piece 41 is fixedly connected to the end of the fixing ring 42 away from the first housing 21. The fixing ring 42 provides a light-entry channel for the camera 111. The fixing ring 42 can be configured as a ring. In some embodiments, the fixing ring 42 can also be configured as other shapes, such as square, polygonal, etc.

[0087] The electronic device 100 also includes a first fixing member 411 and a second fixing member 421. The lens protection plate 41 and the fixing ring 42 are fixedly and sealed together by the first fixing member 411. The fixing ring 42 and the second housing 23 are fixedly and sealed together by the second fixing member 421. The fixing ring 42 and the lens protection plate 41 work together to protect the camera 111 from external moisture, dust, and other debris. The first fixing member 411 can be configured as foam adhesive and / or glue. The second fixing member 421 can be configured as foam adhesive and / or glue. The connection between the fixing ring 42 and the second housing 23 can be first coated with glue and then filled with foam adhesive to improve the connection strength between the fixing ring 42 and the second housing 23, preventing the fixing ring 42 from loosening when it bumps against external objects.

[0088] In some embodiments, the outer periphery of the retaining ring 42 is provided with a planar pattern and / or a three-dimensional pattern to improve the aesthetics of the retaining ring 42, thereby improving the aesthetics of the electronic device 100. The outer periphery of the retaining ring 42 is the surface of the retaining ring 42 that protrudes relative to the second housing 23 and is exposed outside the electronic device 100. The outer periphery of the retaining ring 42 includes the outer axial surface of the retaining ring 42 and the end face of the retaining ring 42 facing away from the first housing 21. The outer axial surface or the end face may be provided with a planar pattern and / or a three-dimensional pattern, or both the outer axial surface and the end face may be provided with a planar pattern and / or a three-dimensional pattern.

The number of fixing rings 42, lens protection pieces 41, and second mounting holes 233 are all the same. The fixing rings 42, lens protection pieces 41, and second mounting holes 233 are each set in a one-to-one correspondence. In this way, by individually setting fixing rings 42 and lens protection pieces 41 for each camera 111, the back of the electronic device 100 can be made simpler, improving the aesthetics of the back of the electronic device 100. For example, the number of fixing rings 42 and lens protection pieces 41 can be one, two, three, four, etc. The decorative shapes (colors, shapes, etc.) of the different fixing rings 42 can be set to be different to improve the diversity of the decorative effect of the electronic device 100.

[0090] The electronic device 100 also includes an adhesive seal 234. The adhesive seal 234 is disposed between the second housing 23 and the first housing 21 to seal and bond the second housing 23 and the first housing 21 together, preventing external moisture, dust, and other impurities from entering the interior of the electronic device 100. The adhesive seal 234 is annular and matches the shape of the second housing 23. The adhesive seal 234 is located near the edge of the second housing 23. The adhesive seal 234 can be configured as foam adhesive and / or glue.

[0091] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 7 , Figure 7This is a rear top view of an electronic device 100 provided in some embodiments of this application. The electronic device 100 includes a functional module 32, which includes a display element 60. The electronic device 100 is also used to indicate its operating status by controlling the display state of the display element 60. The operating status of the electronic device 100 may include, for example, whether the electronic device 100 is connected to the accessory 22, whether the electronic device 100 has received notification messages (e.g., notification messages from communication applications, activity messages from application software, etc.), whether the electronic device 100 is charging, the charging progress of the electronic device 100, and the remaining battery power of the electronic device 100. In this embodiment of the application, indicating the operating status of the electronic device 100 through the display state of the display element 60 allows the user to conveniently obtain the operating status of the electronic device 100 without turning on the screen.

[0092] In some embodiments, the display element 60 may include a plurality of sub-displays 61. The electronic device 100 indicates the operating state of the electronic device 100 by controlling the number of sub-displays 61 in the light-emitting state and the position of the sub-displays 61 in the light-emitting state among the plurality of sub-displays 61, so that the user can know the operating state of the electronic device 100 based on the light emission of the plurality of sub-displays 61.

[0093] In some embodiments, the color of the display element 60 is adjustable. By adjusting the color of the light emitted by the display element 60, the electronic device 100 can enable the user to intuitively understand the operating status of the electronic device 100.

[0094] In some embodiments, multiple display elements 60 may be configured. The electronic device 100 controls the multiple display elements 60 to emit light respectively to form different combinations of light patterns, so that the user can know the different operating states of the electronic device 100 through the different combinations of light patterns.

[0095] In some embodiments, a first detected part is provided on the accessory 22. The electronic device 100 also includes a sensor. The functional module 32 can be configured as a sensor. The sensor is used to detect a first spatial state and / or first parameter information of the first detected part. In some embodiments, the sensor can be configured as a Hall element, and the first detected part can be configured as a magnetic element. When the accessory 22 is in different positional states relative to the first housing 21, the distance and orientation between the magnetic element and the Hall element are different. Therefore, the electronic device 100 can determine the first spatial state of the magnetic element relative to the Hall element by detecting the magnetic field strength and magnetic pole direction of the magnetic element by the Hall element, and then determine the positional state of the accessory 22 relative to the first housing 21 based on the first spatial state, so as to determine the working state of the electronic device 100. For example, the electronic device 100 can determine whether the accessory 22 is assembled on the first housing 21 and whether the accessory 22 and the first housing 21 are properly assembled by detecting the first spatial state. For example, when accessory 22 is configured as a bracket, electronic device 100 can determine by detecting the first spatial state whether the bracket is in a stored state retracted into the first housing 21 or in a supported state that is open at a certain angle relative to the first housing 21 to support the first housing 21.

[0096] In some embodiments, the accessories 22 have different types, and the first detected part in different accessories 22 is configured with different magnetic elements. The magnetic flux, magnetic pole direction, or number of magnetic elements in different accessories 22 can be set to be different. When the first housing 21 is assembled with different accessories 22, the Hall element detects that the first parameter information corresponding to the magnetic elements of different accessories 22 is different, and the electronic device 100 can determine the type of accessory 22 through the different first parameter information. In some embodiments, the Hall element can also detect the first spatial state and the first parameter information of the magnetic element at the same time, so that the electronic device 100 can determine the positional state of the accessory 22 relative to the first housing 21 and determine the type of accessory 22 through the first spatial state and the first parameter information.

[0097] In some embodiments, the sensor may be configured as a color sensor, and the accessories 22 may have different types, with the first detected part in each accessory 22 having a different color. The first parameter information is the color of the first detected part. When the first housing 21 is assembled with different accessories 22, the color sensor can obtain the first parameter information corresponding to the accessory 22 based on the detected color, thereby enabling the electronic device 100 to determine the type of accessory 22 based on the first parameter information, and thus determine the operating state of the electronic device 100.

[0098] For example, accessory 22 can be configured as an AI recording element. After determining that accessory 22 is an AI recording element based on the first spatial state and / or the first parameter information, electronic device 100 can control the AI ​​recording element to upload unsynchronized recording information to electronic device 100 and perform AI analysis on the recording information (such as speech-to-text, AI summarization, AI document organization, etc.). In some embodiments, accessory 22 can also be configured as a power bank. After determining that accessory 22 is a power bank based on the first spatial state and / or the first parameter information, electronic device 100 can communicate with the power bank to perform a handshake of the charging protocol, thereby enabling the power bank to charge electronic device 100.

[0099] In some embodiments, a second detection part is provided on the second housing 23. A sensor is used to detect the second spatial state and / or second parameter information of the second detection part. In some embodiments, the sensor may be configured as a Hall element, and the second detection part may be configured as a magnetic element. When the second housing 23 is in different positional states relative to the first housing 21, the distance and orientation between the magnetic element and the Hall element are different. Therefore, the electronic device 100 can determine the second spatial state of the magnetic element relative to the Hall element by detecting the magnetic field strength and magnetic pole direction of the magnetic element by the Hall element, and then determine the positional state of the second housing 23 relative to the first housing 21 based on the second spatial state, so as to determine the working state of the electronic device 100. For example, the electronic device 100 can determine whether the second housing 23 is assembled on the first housing 21, and whether the second housing 23 and the first housing 21 are properly assembled, etc., by detecting the second spatial state.

[0100] In some embodiments, the second housing 23 has different types, and the second detected part in different second housings 23 is configured with different magnetic elements. The magnetic flux, magnetic pole direction, or number of parameters of the magnetic elements in different second housings 23 can be set differently. When the first housing 21 is assembled with different second housings 23, the Hall element detects that the second parameter information corresponding to the magnetic elements of the different second housings 23 is different, and the electronic device 100 can determine the type of the second housing 23 through the different second parameter information. In some embodiments, the Hall element can also simultaneously detect the second spatial state and the second parameter information of the magnetic elements, so that the electronic device 100 can determine the positional state of the second housing 23 relative to the first housing 21 and determine the type of the second housing 23 through the second spatial state and the second parameter information.

[0101] In some embodiments, the sensor can be configured as a color sensor, and the second housings 23 have different types, with the second detected parts in different second housings 23 having different colors. The second parameter information is the color of the second detected part. When the first housing 21 is assembled with different second housings 23, the color sensor can obtain the second parameter information corresponding to the second housing 23 based on the detected color, thereby enabling the electronic device 100 to determine the type of the second housing 23 based on the second parameter information, and thus determine the operating state of the electronic device 100. Furthermore, after determining the type of the second housing 22 based on the first spatial state and / or the first parameter information, the electronic device 100 can match a user interface theme corresponding to the type of the second housing 22, thereby automatically matching the user interface theme of the electronic device 100 with the color of the second housing 22, eliminating the need for the user to manually adjust the user interface theme.

[0102] In some embodiments, the parameter information of the magnetic element on the accessory 22 is different from the parameter information of the magnetic element on the second housing 23. The electronic device 100 can also determine whether the first housing 21 is connected to the second housing 23 or to the accessory 22 based on the parameter information detected by the Hall element. In some embodiments, the color of the first detected part on the second housing 23 is different from the color of the second detected part on the accessory 22. The electronic device 100 can also determine whether the first housing 21 is connected to the second housing 23 or to the accessory 22 based on the parameter information detected by the color sensor.

[0103] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 8 , Figure 8 This is a structural block diagram of accessory 22 provided in some embodiments of this application. In some embodiments, accessory 22 can be configured as an AI recording element. After the AI ​​recording element is connected to the first housing 21, the electronic device 100 can control the AI ​​recording element to upload asynchronous sound information to the electronic device 100 and perform AI analysis on the sound information (such as speech-to-text, AI summarization, AI document organization, etc.).

[0104] The accessory 22 includes a microphone 221 and a storage chip 222. The microphone 221 is connected to the storage chip 222. The storage chip 222 is used to store the sound information collected by the microphone 221. The accessory 22 can collect external sound information through the microphone 221 and store the collected sound information in the storage chip 222.

[0105] In some embodiments, accessory 22 further includes an indicator light 223. The indicator light 223 is used to indicate the status of accessory 22. By observing the illumination of the indicator light, the user can conveniently know the status of accessory 22 without turning on the screen of electronic device 100. The status of accessory 22 may include a status of transmitting information, charging, transmission completed, transmission failed, etc.

[0106] The above are merely specific embodiments of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various equivalent modifications or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this application, and these modifications or substitutions should all be covered 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.
