DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0049] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It should be understood that the described examples are only some examples of the present invention, not all examples. All other examples derived by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the examples of the present invention fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0050] In order to facilitate the clear description of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, in the embodiments of the present application, words such as "first" and "second" are used to distinguish between identical or similar items with substantially the same functions and effects. For example, the first instruction and the second instruction are intended to distinguish different user instructions and do not limit their order. Those skilled in the art will understand that words such as "first" and "second" do not limit the quantity and execution order, and words such as "first" and "second" do not necessarily limit them to be different.

[0051] It should be noted that, in this application, words such as "exemplarily" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations, or explanations. Any embodiment or design described in this application as "exemplary" or "for example" should not be construed as being preferred or advantageous over other embodiments or designs. Rather, the use of words such as "exemplarily" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a concrete manner.

[0052] In addition, "at least one" means one or more, and "more" means two or more. "And / or" describes the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that three relationships may exist. For example, A and / or B can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone, where A and B can be singular or plural. The character " / " generally indicates that the previous and next associated objects are in an "or" relationship. "At least one of the following items" or similar expressions refers to any combination of these items, including any combination of single items or plural items. For example, at least one of a, b and c can mean: a, or b, or c, or a and b, or a and c, or b and c, or a, b and c, where a, b, c can be single or multiple.

[0053] With the development of electronic technology, electronic devices such as mobile phones and tablets are gradually becoming thinner and lighter. The thinning of the overall thickness of the device has compressed the thickness of the audio device, and at the same time, the cross-sectional area of ​​the audio device's sound output channel has also been gradually compressed. When the length of the sound output channel is constant, the thickness and width of the sound output channel become the biggest factors limiting audio performance. Taking a mobile phone as an example, the mobile phone in the related art is shown in Figure 1. The front cavity sound output channel is between the screen and the speaker assembly. When the length of the front cavity sound output channel is constant, the thickness and width of the front cavity sound output channel directly affect the flow rate of the airflow. The higher the flow rate of the airflow, the greater the noise caused by the airflow. Therefore, under the premise of making electronic devices thinner and lighter, how to make full use of the thickness of the overall device and improve audio performance has become an urgent problem to be solved.

[0054] In view of this, an embodiment of the present application provides an electronic device, including:

[0055] Display screen, front cavity sound outlet channel, speaker assembly;

[0056] The display screen has a local groove structure, the position of the local groove structure corresponds to the position of the front cavity sound outlet channel, and the local groove structure is used to increase the cross-sectional area of ​​the front cavity sound outlet channel;

[0057] The front cavity sound outlet channel is used to export the sound emitted by the speaker assembly.

[0058] The electronic device in the embodiment of the present application may be a mobile phone or a tablet, etc. The front cavity sound outlet channel is used to export the sound emitted by the speaker assembly to the outside of the electronic device. When the length and width of the front cavity sound outlet channel have been determined, the thickness of the front cavity sound outlet channel (i.e., the thickness direction of the electronic device) is the most critical factor affecting the airflow velocity. The greater the thickness, the smaller the airflow velocity, and the smaller the airflow noise caused by the airflow velocity. In the embodiment of the present application, a local groove structure is provided at a position corresponding to the front cavity sound outlet channel on the display screen. Through the local groove structure, the thickness of the front cavity sound outlet channel is increased, that is, the cross-sectional area of ​​the front cavity sound outlet channel is increased, thereby slowing down the airflow velocity to reduce the airflow noise and improve the audio performance of the electronic device.

[0059] A display screen is usually composed of a protective layer area, a functional layer area, and a non-functional layer area. The protective layer area may include a glass encapsulation layer; the functional layer area includes various functional layers for supporting touch and display, such as an anode layer, a cathode layer, an electroluminescent layer, etc.; the non-functional layer area may include a buffer layer and a heat dissipation layer, etc. Under normal circumstances, the thickness of the functional layer area is difficult to change; and when the protective layer area becomes thinner, the strength will also decrease accordingly, thereby affecting the life of the display screen; therefore, in one possible embodiment, referring to Figure 2, the above-mentioned display screen includes a protective layer area 211, a functional layer area 212, and a non-functional layer area 213; the above-mentioned local groove structure 2131 is opened in the above-mentioned non-functional layer area 213 at a position corresponding to the above-mentioned front cavity sound outlet channel. Opening the local groove structure 2131 in the non-functional layer area 213 has little effect on the functional layer area 212 and the protective layer area 211, and has almost no effect on the life of the display screen.

[0060] The non-functional layer area 213 may include a buffer layer and a heat dissipation layer, etc. In some examples, the buffer layer and the heat dissipation layer may also be one layer, namely a heat dissipation buffer layer. It is understandable that in the embodiment of the present application, a local groove structure 2131 is opened at a position corresponding to the front cavity sound outlet channel in the non-functional layer area 213, rather than removing the non-functional layer area 213. In one possible embodiment, taking the above-mentioned non-functional layer area 213 including: a buffer layer and a heat dissipation layer as an example, the above-mentioned local groove structure 2131 is obtained by cutting the above-mentioned buffer layer and / or the above-mentioned heat dissipation layer. The local groove structure 2131 can be obtained by cutting the buffer layer and / or the heat dissipation layer, and the cutting thickness can be specifically determined according to the thickness of the designed local groove structure 2131. It is understandable that the thickness of the local groove structure 2131 should not exceed the thickness of the non-functional layer area 213, otherwise it may affect the functional layer area 212. In one possible embodiment, the thickness of the above-mentioned local groove structure 2131 is not less than 0.2 mm. The thickness of the local groove structure 2131 is set to be greater than 0.2 mm, which can effectively increase the cross-sectional area of ​​the front cavity sound outlet channel, thereby reducing airflow noise and improving the audio performance of the electronic device. It should be understood that the thickness of the local groove structure 2131 is not less than 0.2 mm and is within the scope of protection of this application.

[0061] In a possible implementation, the speaker assembly includes a speaker core and a speaker cavity wall, and the speaker core is disposed within the speaker cavity wall.

[0062] The speaker assembly may include a speaker core and a speaker cavity wall. In some embodiments, the speaker assembly may also include a pickup core, etc. The speaker core may include a speaker and speaker circuitry for producing sound. The speaker cavity wall is used to protect the speaker core and facilitate the installation of the speaker and speaker circuitry. The speaker core is disposed within the speaker cavity wall. In one example, to reduce the impact of speaker vibration, the speaker may be fixed in place in the speaker cavity wall using at least three support points to meet the vibration requirements of the speaker in the speaker core.

[0073] The front cavity sound outlet channel 22 is a cavity structure between the speaker assembly 23 and the display screen 21; the rear cavity 26 is a cavity structure between the speaker assembly 23 and the inner screen 29;

[0074] There is a sound outlet gap 27 between the above-mentioned middle frame 24 and the above-mentioned display screen 21; the above-mentioned sound outlet gap 27 is connected to the above-mentioned front cavity sound outlet channel 22; the above-mentioned middle frame 24 is connected to the above-mentioned speaker assembly 23, and the above-mentioned middle frame 24 is also connected to the above-mentioned inner screen 29.

[0075] Figure 4 illustrates a partial structural diagram of an electronic device. A sound outlet slit 27 is provided between the middle frame 24 and the display screen 21, and a front cavity sound outlet channel 22 is provided between the speaker assembly 23 and the display screen 21. One end of the speaker assembly 23 is connected to the middle frame 24, and the other end can be connected to a cavity wall structure or a bracket structure to secure the speaker assembly 23. A rear cavity 26 is provided between the speaker assembly 23 and the inner screen 29. This cavity is used to provide vibration balance when the speaker assembly 23 produces sound, thereby increasing the service life of the speaker assembly 23.

[0076] In one example, referring to FIG5 , the electronic device includes:

[0077] Display screen 21, front cavity sound outlet channel 22, speaker assembly 23, middle frame 24, battery cover 25, rear cavity 26, sound outlet gap 27;

[0078] The speaker assembly 23 includes a speaker cavity wall 28 and a speaker core 31 , wherein the speaker core 31 is disposed in the speaker cavity wall 28 ;

[0079] The display screen 21 has a local groove structure 2131. The position of the local groove structure 2131 corresponds to the position of the front cavity sound outlet channel 22. The local groove structure 2131 is used to increase the cross-sectional area of ​​the front cavity sound outlet channel 22.

[0080] The speaker cavity wall 28 includes a front cavity wall 281 and a rear cavity wall 282 ; there is a gap between the front cavity wall 281 and the display screen 21 , and there is a gap between the rear cavity wall 282 and the battery cover 25 ;

[0081] The speaker cavity wall 28 is connected to the middle frame 24, and specifically, the rear cavity wall 282 is connected to the middle frame 24;

[0082] The front cavity sound outlet channel 22 is a cavity structure between the speaker assembly 23 and the front cavity wall 281; the rear cavity 26 is a cavity structure between the speaker assembly 23 and the rear cavity wall 282;

[0083] A sound outlet slot 27 is defined between the middle frame 24 and the display screen 21 ; the sound outlet slot 27 is in communication with the front cavity sound outlet channel 22 .

[0084] Figure 5 illustrates a partial structural diagram of another electronic device; a speaker cavity wall 28 encloses a speaker core 31. A front cavity sound outlet channel 22 is defined between the speaker core 31 and the front cavity wall 281, and a rear cavity 26 is defined between the speaker core 31 and the rear cavity wall 282. A gap exists between the display screen 21 and the front cavity wall 281, and a gap exists between the rear cavity wall 282 and the battery cover 25. When the speaker core 31 vibrates, this may cause the speaker cavity wall 28 to vibrate. These two gaps serve as a vibration buffer, thereby protecting the display screen 21 and the battery cover 25. In one example, the front cavity wall 281 has a first local protrusion structure 2811. This first local protrusion structure 2811 cooperates with the local groove structure 2131 to increase the thickness of the front cavity sound outlet channel 22, that is, to increase the cross-sectional area of ​​the front cavity sound outlet channel 22. In this embodiment of the present application, the addition of the speaker cavity wall 28 structure can increase the stability of the speaker assembly 23 and provide protection for the speaker assembly 23.

In one example, the front cavity wall 281 has a first local convex groove structure 2811. The first local convex groove structure 2811 cooperates with the local groove structure 2131 to increase the thickness of the front cavity sound outlet channel 22, that is, to increase the cross-sectional area of ​​the front cavity sound outlet channel 22.

In one example, the rear cavity wall 282 has a second partial protrusion structure 2821, which cooperates with the partial groove structure 2131 to increase the thickness of the front cavity sound outlet channel 22, thereby increasing its cross-sectional area. In the embodiment of the present application, by adding the speaker cavity wall 28 structure, the stability of the speaker assembly 23 can be increased and the speaker assembly 23 can be protected.

[0103] In one example, referring to FIG8 , the electronic device includes:

[0104] Display screen 21, front cavity sound outlet channel 22, speaker assembly 23, middle frame 24, inner screen 29, rear cavity 26, sound outlet gap 27;

[0105] The speaker assembly 23 includes a speaker cavity wall 28 and a speaker core 31 , wherein the speaker core 31 is disposed in the speaker cavity wall 28 ;

[0106] The display screen 21 has a local groove structure 2131. The position of the local groove structure 2131 corresponds to the position of the front cavity sound outlet channel 22. The local groove structure 2131 is used to increase the cross-sectional area of ​​the front cavity sound outlet channel 22.

[0107] The speaker cavity wall 28 includes a front cavity wall 281 and a rear cavity wall 282 ; a gap is formed between the front cavity wall 281 and the inner screen 29 , and a gap is formed between the rear cavity wall 282 and the display screen 21 ;

[0108] The speaker cavity wall 28 is connected to the middle frame 24, and specifically, the front cavity wall 281 is connected to the middle frame 24;

[0109] The front cavity sound outlet channel 22 is a cavity structure between the speaker core 31 and the front cavity wall 281; the rear cavity 26 is a cavity structure between the speaker core 31 and the rear cavity wall 282;

[0110] A sound outlet slot 27 is defined between the middle frame 24 and the display screen 21 ; the sound outlet slot 27 is in communication with the front cavity sound outlet channel 22 .

[0111] Figure 8 illustrates a partial structural diagram of another electronic device. One end of a speaker core 31 is connected to a front cavity wall 281, and the other end is connected to a rear cavity wall 282. The speaker cavity wall 28 encloses the speaker core 31. A front cavity sound outlet channel 22 is defined between the speaker core 31 and the front cavity wall 281, and a rear cavity 26 is defined between the speaker core 31 and the rear cavity wall 282. A space is defined between the display screen 21 and the rear cavity wall 282, and a gap is defined between the front cavity wall 281 and the inner screen 29. When the speaker core 31 vibrates, this may cause the speaker cavity wall 28 to vibrate. These two spaces serve as vibration buffers, thereby protecting the display screen 21 and the inner screen 29. In one example, the rear cavity wall 282 has a second partial protrusion structure 2821, which cooperates with the partial groove structure 2131 to increase the thickness of the front cavity sound outlet channel 22, thereby increasing the cross-sectional area of ​​the front cavity sound outlet channel 22. In the embodiment of the present application, by adding the speaker cavity wall 28 structure, the stability of the speaker assembly 23 can be increased and the speaker assembly 23 can be protected.

[0112] To reduce dust intrusion into the speaker assembly 23, in one possible embodiment, the electronic device further includes a speaker dust seal assembly disposed within the sound slit 27 or the front cavity sound outlet passage 22. In one example, given the relatively narrow sound slit 27, the speaker dust seal assembly can be disposed within the front cavity sound outlet passage 22. In this embodiment of the present application, the electronic device further includes a speaker dust seal assembly, thereby reducing dust intrusion into the speaker assembly 23 and thereby extending the service life of the speaker assembly 23.

[0113] It can be understood that the electronic device in the embodiments of the present application can be either a folding screen device or a non-folding screen device. The folding structure of the folding screen can refer to the relevant folding screen technology and is not specifically limited in this application.

[0114] In order to more clearly illustrate that the electronic device of the embodiment of the present application can improve the audio performance, taking the electronic device as a mobile phone as an example, refer to Figures 9 and 10, wherein Figure 9 is a schematic diagram of the air flow velocity distribution in the front cavity sound outlet channel under the mobile phone structure shown in Figure 1, wherein the air flow velocity at the maximum air flow velocity position is 56.4797m / s; Figure 10 is a schematic diagram of the air flow velocity distribution in the front cavity sound outlet channel when the partial groove structure of the electronic device in the embodiment of the present application is 0.2mm, wherein the air flow velocity at the maximum air flow velocity position is 47.8603m / s; it can be seen that the electronic device in the embodiment of the application can reduce the maximum air flow velocity by about 20% by increasing the thickness of the front cavity sound outlet channel, thereby effectively reducing the air flow noise.
