[0020] Throughout the attached drawings, similar reference numbers may be assigned to similar parts, components and / or structures.

[0021] Electronic devices may contain various structures and / or electronic components. The housing of an electronic device provides various structures for arranging or supporting the electronic components, and the electronic components can be secured to designated locations within the housing. By securing the electronic components more securely within the housing, the reliability of the electronic device can be enhanced. Mobile electronic devices, such as smartphones, can be exposed to external impacts, such as drops. The housing can protect the internal structures or electronic components against such external forces. However, the degree of deformation caused by external forces may vary depending on the mechanical strength and flexibility of the structures or electronic components located within the housing. For example, when there is a difference in the degree of deformation caused by an external force, a gap may be created between two components placed in contact with each other, or noise may be generated when two adjacent components come into contact when the external force is removed. This noise can cause discomfort to the user or reduce the user's confidence in the electronic device.

[0022] One embodiment of the present disclosure is intended to at least resolve the above-described problems and / or disadvantages and at least provide the advantages described below, and can provide a battery pack and / or an electronic device including the same that can suppress the generation of noise even when deformed by an external force.

[0023] One embodiment of the present disclosure can provide a battery pack and / or an electronic device including the same that can suppress discomfort or a decrease in trust caused by noise.

[0024] One embodiment of the present disclosure can provide a battery pack and / or an electronic device including the same that creates an environment that facilitates self-repair.

[0025] The technical problems to be achieved in this document are not limited to the technical problems mentioned above, and other technical problems not mentioned can be clearly understood by a person having ordinary skill in the technical field to which the present disclosure belongs from the description below.

In one embodiment of the present disclosure, when the main body (251) is separated from the first support member (211), a portion of the first adhesive tape (253) (e.g., the first region (353a) of FIG. 7) may remain attached to the first support member (211) or the second adhesive tape (255), and another portion of the first adhesive tape (253) (e.g., the second region (353b) of FIG. 7) may remain separated from the first support member (211) and attached to the main body (251). In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the second region (353b) may be omitted, and when the second region (353b) is omitted, the first adhesive tape (253) may have a shape corresponding to the upper surface (US) of the main body (251) or a shape corresponding to the second adhesive tape (255).

[0094] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a distortional deformation may occur in the first support member (211) (and / or the battery (250)) due to an external force or impact. Such deformation may generally be restored to the original manufacturing shape or the original assembled state by the restoring force of the first support member (211). In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the degree of deformation of the first support member (211) may vary depending on the distance from the point where the external force is applied in the distortional deformation. For example, some of the adhesive portions between the first support member (211) and the battery (250) may be temporarily separated. Noise may be generated due to the adhesive component during the separation / re-adhesion resulting from such deformation and restoration. The separation / re-adhesion between the first support member (211) and the battery (250) due to the external force may be frequent at the edges of the adhesive tapes (253, 255). According to the embodiment(s) of the present disclosure, at least some of the edges of the adhesive tape(s) (253, 255) include non-adhesive areas (e.g., non-adhesive areas (NAA) of FIG. 7), thereby suppressing the generation of noise even when deformation occurs to the extent that separation / re-adhesion occurs.

[0095] Regarding the battery pack (e.g., battery pack (350) of FIGS. 8 to 11) and / or adhesive tape (e.g., first adhesive tape (353) and / or fixing tape (355) of FIGS. 7 to 11) according to the embodiment(s) of the present disclosure, a description will be given with reference to FIGS. 7 to 12.

[0096] FIG. 7 is a drawing showing one side of a first adhesive tape of an electronic device and / or a battery pack according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0097] Referring to FIG. 7, the first adhesive tape (353) (e.g., the first adhesive tape (253) of FIG. 6) may include a first region (353a) providing non-adhesive regions (NAA) and adhesive regions (AA1, AA2, AA3). The first region (353a) may have a shape corresponding to, for example, a top surface (e.g., the top surface US of FIG. 6) of a battery body (e.g., the body (251) of FIG. 6 or the body (351) of FIG. 8) and may have a smaller area than the top surface of the battery body. For example, a part of a second region (353b) described below may be positioned on the top surface of the body (351) together with the first region (353a), so that the first region (353a) may have a smaller area than the top surface of the body (351). In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the width or length of the first region (353a) may be provided to be smaller than the upper surface of the main body (351), so that the area of ​​the first region (353a) may be smaller than the area of ​​the upper surface of the main body (351). In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a non-adhesive region (NAA), a first adhesive region (AA1), and / or a second adhesive region (AA2) described below may be provided in the first region (353a). For example, the first region (353a) may refer to a portion on the first adhesive tape (353) where the non-adhesive region (NAA), the first adhesive region (AA1), and / or the second adhesive region (AA2) are arranged. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first region (353a) may be arranged to substantially face the upper surface of the main body (351).

[0098] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first region (353a) may be understood as a region facing an upper surface (e.g., the upper surface US of FIG. 6) of the main body (351) (e.g., the main body (251) of FIG. 6), and / or a portion disposed between the main body (351) and a support plate (e.g., the first support member (211) of FIG. 6). For example, the first region (353a) may function as a portion that attaches the main body (351) to the first support member (211) together with a second adhesive tape (e.g., the second adhesive tape (255) of FIG. 6 or the fixing tape (355) of FIG. 10). In one embodiment of the present disclosure, when an adhesive layer replacing the second adhesive tape (255) or the fixing tape (355) is provided on either side of the first region (353a), the first region (353a) itself can function as a part that attaches the main body (351) to the first support member (211).

[0099] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, when the second adhesive tape (255) or adhesive layer is defined as being provided on one side of the first region (353a), the non-adhesive region (NAA), the first adhesive region (AA1) and / or the second adhesive region (AA2) can be understood as being provided on the other side of the first region (353a). In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the side on which the non-adhesive region (NAA), the first adhesive region (AA1) and / or the second adhesive region (AA2) is provided can be understood as a side facing the upper surface of the main body (351) among both sides of the first region (353a). For example, the non-adhesive region (NAA), the first adhesive region (AA1) and / or the second adhesive region (AA2) can be substantially arranged to face the upper surface of the main body (351), and / or can be in direct contact with the upper surface of the main body (351). As mentioned above, it should be noted that the upper surface of the main body (351) is not limited to a surface positioned above other parts of the main body (351), but refers to a surface positioned facing the first support member (211).

[0100] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a non-adhesive area (NAA) may be provided at least in a portion of an edge of the first area (353a). For example, a first adhesive area (AA1) and a second adhesive area (AA2) may be implemented by providing or applying an adhesive material to a surface of both sides of the first area (353a) facing the upper surface of the main body (351), and at least a portion of an edge of the first area (353a) may be provided as a non-adhesive area (NAA) to which the adhesive material is not applied. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, when the first area (353a) has a polygonal shape, the non-adhesive area (NAA) may be provided in at least one of the corner portions formed by two sides of the first area (353a). The illustrated embodiment may exemplify non-adhesive areas (NAAs) arranged at two adjacent (or neighboring) corner portions among the corner portions. As mentioned above, when a distortion deformation occurs due to an external force, a deformation deviation may occur on the support plate (e.g., the first support member (211) of FIG. 6). In one embodiment of the present disclosure, when a distortion deformation occurs, non-adhesive areas (NAAs) may be provided in a portion of the support plate (e.g., the first support member (211) of FIG. 6) where the deformation is relatively large. For example, by arranging the non-adhesive areas (NAAs), noise caused by separation or re-attachment of the adhesive material can be suppressed even when a deformation occurs due to an external force.

[0101] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first adhesive area (AA1) may be arranged substantially in contact with the non-adhesive area (NAA) in the first area (353a) while providing a first adhesive force. Here, the term “arranged in contact” may refer to a state in which an edge of one area (e.g., the first adhesive area (AA1)) and an edge of another area (e.g., the non-adhesive area (NAA)) are arranged in direct contact. For example, the first adhesive area (AA1) may be attached to the upper surface of the main body (351) by the first adhesive force, so that the first adhesive tape (353) and / or the first area (353a) may be attached or fixed to the upper surface of the main body (351). When the non-adhesive areas (NAAs) are respectively provided at two adjacent corner portions of the first area (353a), the first adhesive area (AA1) may be arranged in contact with a corresponding one of the non-adhesive areas (NNA). For example, the number of non-adhesive areas (NAAs) and / or the number of first adhesive areas (AA1) are not limited by the illustrated embodiment of the present disclosure, and may be appropriately selected according to the specifications of an electronic device to be actually manufactured (e.g., an electronic device (1001, 100, 200) of FIGS. 1 to 5) and / or a battery pack (e.g., a battery (1089, 250) of FIG. 1 or FIG. 4 or a battery pack (350) of FIG. 8).

[0102] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first adhesive area (AA1) may have a shape extending substantially along a straight trajectory. When a plurality of first adhesive areas (AA1) are provided, the first adhesive areas (AA1) may be arranged to be inclined with respect to one another. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, when a plurality of first adhesive areas (AA1) are provided, it may be understood that the first adhesive areas (AA1) are arranged to be symmetrical with respect to one another on the body (351) while being inclined with respect to the longitudinal direction of the electronic device (200) (e.g., the Y-axis direction of FIG. 4). However, it should be noted that the embodiment(s) of the present disclosure are not limited thereto, and when arranged at different distances from the edge (e.g., the side edge (SE) of FIG. 12) of the electronic device (200), the first adhesive areas (AA1) may be arranged asymmetrically on the body (351). For example, as will be seen in FIG. 12, when a plurality of non-adhesive areas (NAAs) (or first adhesive areas (AA1)) are arranged at different locations on an electronic device, the sizes and shapes may differ depending on the locations.

[0103] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the second adhesive area (AA2) can be attached to the upper surface of the main body (351) while providing a second adhesive force that is smaller than the first adhesive force. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the second adhesive area (AA2) can be provided on substantially the entire first area (353a), excluding the non-adhesive area (NAA) and the first adhesive area (AA1). For example, the first area (353a) and / or the first adhesive tape (353) can be attached to the main body (351) substantially by the first adhesive area (AA1) and the second adhesive area (AA2). In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the second adhesive area (AA2) can be arranged to be in contact with at least the first adhesive area (AA1) among the non-adhesive area (NAA) and the first adhesive area (AA1). In one embodiment of the present disclosure, when the first adhesive area (AA1) has a shorter length than the illustrated embodiment, the second adhesive area (AA2) may be arranged to contact the first adhesive area (AA1) while contacting the non-adhesive area (NAA). In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the second adhesive area (AA2) may be arranged to form dots of a specified size with the adhesive being arranged at a specified interval.

[0104] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first adhesive tape (353) can be stably adhered to the upper surface of the main body (351) by providing an adhesive strength greater than that of the second adhesive area (AA2) while substantially contacting the non-adhesive area (NAA). For example, by providing the non-adhesive area (NAA), the generation of noise due to distortion deformation can be suppressed, and by providing the first adhesive area (AA1), the first adhesive tape (353) can have sufficient adhesive strength. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first adhesive tape (353) can further include at least one third adhesive area (AA3) that provides a third adhesive strength greater than the second adhesive strength. The third adhesive strength can be, for example, substantially the same as the first adhesive strength. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the second adhesive tape (255) of FIG. 6 or the fixing tape (355) of FIG. 10 may be replaced with a fourth adhesive region (e.g., an adhesive layer) provided in the first region (353a) on the side facing the support plate. For example, in the embodiment of the present disclosure illustrated in FIG. 6 or FIG. 10, a configuration is illustrated in which a second adhesive tape (255) or fixing tape (355) is provided separately from the first adhesive tape (355), but it can be understood that the second adhesive tape (255) or fixing tape (355) is omitted and the first adhesive tape (353) provides the fourth adhesive region.

[0105] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the third adhesive area (AA3) may be arranged to at least partially contact the second adhesive area (AA2) in the first area (353a). In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the third adhesive area (AA3) may be understood to be arranged to contact the second adhesive area (AA2) while extending along the edge of the first area (353a). In one embodiment of the present disclosure, when the non-adhesive area (NAA) and / or the first adhesive area (AA1) are provided at two adjacent edges among the edge portions of the first area (353a), the third adhesive area (AA3) may extend along the edge of the first area (353a) between the first adhesive areas (AA1). When the first adhesive areas (AA1) in the embodiment of FIG. 7 are defined as extending obliquely in the longitudinal direction (e.g., the Y-axis direction of FIG. 4), the third adhesive area (AA3)(s) may be understood to extend perpendicular to the longitudinal direction.

[0106] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the battery pack (350) and / or the first adhesive tape (353) may further include a second region (353b). The second region (353b) may be for facilitating separation of the battery pack (350) or the main body (351) of FIG. 8 from the support plate (e.g., the first support member (211) of FIG. 6) when repair or replacement of the battery pack (350) is required. For example, a worker or user may pull the second region (353b) to separate the main body (351) or the battery pack (350) from the first support member (211). As will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 to 11, the second region (353b) extends from one side of the first region (353a) and may be arranged to contact a portion of an upper surface of the main body (351) (e.g., the upper surface US in FIG. 4 or 6), at least a portion of a side surface of the main body (351) (e.g., the side surface SS in FIG. 4 or 6), and / or at least a portion of a lower surface of the main body (351) (e.g., the lower surface LS in FIG. 5). In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the second region (353b) may be provided substantially attached to the outer peripheral surface of the main body (351). In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a portion of the second region (353b) that contacts the lower surface of the main body (351) may be attached to the main body (351) with an adhesive force that is substantially smaller than the first adhesive force. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, an adhesive substantially identical to that of the second adhesive area (AA2) is provided to a portion of the second area (353b) that comes into contact with the lower surface of the main body (351), but the distribution density of dots implemented with the adhesive may be lower than that of the second adhesive area (AA2). For example, a worker or user can easily separate the second area (353b) from the lower surface of the main body (351).

[0107] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the battery pack (350) and / or the first adhesive tape (353) may further include slits (353c) and / or cut grooves. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the slits (353c) or cut grooves may be arranged (or extended) along the boundary between the first region (353a) and the second region (353b). The slits (353c) may be formed to substantially penetrate the first adhesive tape (353), for example, and the cut grooves may make the thickness of the first adhesive tape (353) at the boundary between the first region (353a) and the second region (353b) smaller than that at other portions. For example, when an external force (e.g., tension) is applied to the first adhesive tape (353), the second region (353b) can be separated from the first region (353a) along the slits (353c) or cut grooves.

[0108] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, when a worker or user pulls the battery pack (350) using the second region (353b) to separate the battery pack (350) from the support plate (e.g., the first support member (211) of FIG. 6), the second region (353b) may be separated from the first region (353a) while being cut along the slits (353c) or the cut grooves. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a force acting on the second region (353b) from the time it is separated from the first region (353a) may act as a force that substantially separates the main body (351) from the support plate. For example, in the separating operation, the second region (353b) may be separated from the first support member (211) together with the main body (351), and the first region (353a) may remain attached to the first support member (211). When slits (353c) or cut grooves are not provided, the first region (353a) can be substantially separated from the fixing tape (355) and / or the first support member (211) together with the main body (351).

[0109] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the battery pack (350) and / or the first adhesive tape (353) may further include dummy flags (DF). The dummy flags (DF) may be, for example, portions extending from the edge of the first region (353a) and attached to the side of the body (351). For example, the first region (353a) and the dummy flags (DF) may function as regions for attaching or fixing the first adhesive tape (353) to the body (351). In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a portion of the dummy flags (DF) may be arranged to contact the lower surface of the body (351), as illustrated in FIG. 8 .

[0110] FIG. 8 is a first plan view showing a first adhesive tape of an electronic device and / or a battery pack according to one embodiment of the present disclosure arranged on a battery body.

[0111] FIG. 9 is a second plan view showing a first adhesive tape of an electronic device and / or a battery pack according to one embodiment of the present disclosure arranged on a battery body.

[0112] FIG. 10 is a plan view showing a fixing tape arranged on an electronic device and / or a battery pack according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0113] FIG. 11 is a drawing showing a battery pack according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, cut along line B-B' of FIG. 10.

[0114] FIG. 8 illustrates, for example, the lower surface of the battery pack (350) with the first adhesive tape (353) attached to the main body (351), and FIG. 9 illustrates the upper surface of the battery pack (350) with the first adhesive tape (353) attached to the main body (351). In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the upper surface of the main body (351) or the first region (353a) of the first adhesive tape (353) may be understood as a portion attached to a support plate (e.g., the first support member (211) of FIG. 6). In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the main body (351) may include a flexible printed circuit board (351a) and / or a protective circuit assembly without a reference number, thereby being electrically connected to a circuit board (e.g., the printed circuit board (240) of FIG. 4) of an electronic device (e.g., the electronic device (200) of FIG. 4).

[0115] Referring to FIGS. 8 to 11, the first region (353a) is substantially disposed on the upper surface of the main body (351), and the second region (353b) may be disposed on a portion of the upper surface of the main body (351) while surrounding a portion of the side surface of the main body (351). Unless forced by a worker or user, the first region (353a) and / or the second region (353b) may remain substantially attached to the main body (351). In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the non-contact regions (NAAs) may be provided at two adjacent corner portions on the upper surface of the first region (353a) and / or the main body (351), respectively. However, the embodiment(s) of the present disclosure are not limited thereto, and any one of the illustrated non-contact regions (NAAs) may be omitted, or an additional non-contact region may be provided at at least one of the corner portions at a location that is not illustrated.

[0116] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first region (353a) is generally attached to the main body (351) by the second adhesive region (AA2), and in the portion where the non-contact region (NAA) is provided, the first adhesive region (AA1) is also provided, so that the first region (353a) can be more stably attached to the main body (351). For example, the first adhesive region (AA1) can provide greater adhesive strength than the second adhesive region (AA2). The second adhesive region (AA2) can be arranged to substantially contact at least the first adhesive region (AA1) among the non-contact region (NAA) and the first adhesive region (AA1). In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the second region (353b) is provided to contact a portion of the upper surface of the main body (351), and when the first adhesive tape (353) includes dummy flags (DF), a portion of the dummy flags (DF) can be adhered to the upper surface of the main body (351).

[0117] As mentioned above, the battery pack (350) may further include a fixing tape (355) (e.g., the second adhesive tape (255) of FIG. 6). The fixing tape (355) may be positioned to face the main body (351) with the first adhesive tape (353) (e.g., the first region (353a)) therebetween, and may substantially attach the first adhesive tape (353) and / or the main body (351) to a support plate (e.g., the first support member (211) of FIG. 6). In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the fixing tape (355) may be replaced with an adhesive material provided in the first region (353a), in which case it may be understood that the first adhesive tape (353) includes a fourth adhesive region.

[0118] FIG. 12 is a drawing for explaining the arrangement of a battery pack in an electronic device according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0119] Referring further to FIG. 12, a battery pack (350) (e.g., battery (250) of FIG. 6 or battery pack (350) of FIGS. 8 to 11) may be disposed or fixed to a support plate (e.g., first support member (211) of FIG. 6) within the electronic device (200). In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the electronic device (200) may include a camera module (207) (e.g., first camera device (105) of FIG. 2 or camera assembly (207) of FIG. 4) disposed in an area between the upper end (UE) of the housing (201) and the battery pack (350). Inside the electronic device (200), the camera module (207) may be disposed on one surface or the other surface of the support plate (e.g., first support member (211) of FIG. 6).

[0120] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the battery pack (350) and / or the non-adhesive area (NAA) may be disposed at a first distance (D1) from the top (UE) of the housing (201), and the battery pack (350) and / or the second adhesive area (AA2) may be disposed at a second distance (D2) from the bottom (LE) of the housing (201). In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the second adhesive area (AA2) may be understood as being disposed at the first distance (D1) from the top (UE) of the housing (201). In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first distance (D1) may be greater than the second distance (D2). For example, a space in which a camera module (207) is disposed may be provided in the area between the top (UE) of the housing (201) and the battery pack (350). In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the length of the housing (201) may be defined as the distance from the top (UE) of the housing (201) to the bottom (LE) of the housing (201), and the sum of the first distance (D1) and the second distance (D2) may be less than the length of the housing (201).

[0121] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the battery pack (350) may include an additional non-bonded area located a second distance (D2) from the bottom of the housing (201). However, a second adhesive area (AA2) may be provided closer to the bottom (LE) of the housing (201) than the non-bonded area, thereby providing a higher adhesive force between the battery pack (350) and the first support member (211). Although omitted in FIG. 12, the battery pack (350) and / or the first adhesive tape (e.g., the first adhesive tape (353) of FIG. 7) may include a first adhesive area (AA1) provided in contact with the non-bonded area (NAA), and the first adhesive area (AA1) may provide a greater adhesive force than the second adhesive area (AA2).

[0122] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the non-adhesive area (NAA) and / or the second adhesive area (AA2) may be positioned at substantially the same distance from both side ends (SE) of the housing (201). For example, when a plurality of non-adhesive areas (NAAs) are provided, the non-adhesive areas (NAAs) may be positioned at symmetrical positions on the electronic device (200). It should be noted that in one embodiment of the present disclosure, even if a plurality of non-adhesive areas (NAAs) are provided, the present disclosure is not limited to the position or shape being symmetrical.

[0123] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, when the battery pack (350) and / or the first region (353a) of FIG. 7 has a polygonal shape, a non-adhesive area (NAA) may be provided at least at one corner portion formed by two sides of the battery pack (350) and / or the first region (353a) of FIG. 7, in order of proximity from the top (UE) of the housing (201). In the illustrated embodiment of the present disclosure, a configuration in which two non-adhesive areas (NAAs) are arranged at a first distance (D1) from the top (UE) of the housing (201) may be exemplified. For example, non-adhesive areas (NAAs) may be provided at two adjacent corner portions of the first region (353a), and the two non-adhesive areas (NAAs) may be positioned at substantially the same distance (e.g., the first distance (D1)) from the top (UE) of the housing (201).

[0124] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, when a distortion deformation due to an external force occurs, a phenomenon of separation or re-adhesion from a support plate (e.g., the first support member (211) of FIG. 6) may occur at corner portions of the battery pack (350) and / or the first region (353a). By suppressing the provision of an adhesive material in the portion where such separation / re-adhesion phenomenon occurs, the battery pack (350) and / or the electronic device (200) including the same according to the embodiment(s) of the present disclosure can suppress the separation / re-adhesion phenomenon or the generation of noise caused thereby. By suppressing noise that may be generated in an actual usage environment, the battery pack (350) and / or the electronic device (200) including the same can suppress discomfort that may be provided to a user. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the adhesive tape (235, 255, 353, 355)(s) can create a convenient self-repair environment by making it easy for a worker or user to detach the battery pack (350).
