Description

Electronic device

[0001] The present application claims priority to the Chinese patent application No. 202410666115.8, filed on May 23, 2024, entitled "Electronic device", the content of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The present application relates to the field of electronic products, and in particular, to an electronic device. BACKGROUND

[0003] A notebook computer, a foldable mobile phone, a foldable tablet and the like electronic device generally include an open state and a closed state. When the electronic device is in the closed state, a user needs to manually operate two housings of the electronic device to be relatively unfolded to switch to the open state. In order to enable the user to conveniently unfold the two housings, a grip structure is generally arranged at the edge of the housing to facilitate user operation. However, as electronic devices gradually develop towards thinness, it is difficult to design a grip structure at the edge of the housing of the electronic device, resulting in that it is difficult for the user to unfold the two housings when the electronic device is in the closed state, and the user's experience of opening and closing the electronic device is poor. SUMMARY

[0004] The embodiments of the present application provide an electronic device, which aims to provide an electronic device that can balance thinness and opening and closing experience.

[0005] In a first aspect, an electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a first housing, a second housing, a screen, a button, a sensor assembly, and a control circuit. The screen is mounted to the first housing or the screen is mounted to the first housing and the second housing. The first housing includes a first back cover and a first middle frame. The first back cover is located on a side of the first middle frame facing away from the screen and is fixedly connected to the first middle frame. The first back cover and the first middle frame enclose a first internal space. The first back cover has a communication hole that penetrates a surface of the first back cover facing away from the first middle frame and communicates with the first internal space. The button is fixedly connected to the first back cover, and at least a portion of the button is located in the communication hole. The portion of the button located in the communication hole constitutes a sensing portion of the button. The sensor assembly and at least a portion of the control circuit are mounted in the first internal space. The sensor assembly is electrically connected to the control circuit, and the sensor assembly is arranged opposite to the button. The sensor assembly is configured to detect a motion acting on the sensing portion when the electronic device is in a closed state. The control circuit is configured to control the first housing to be unfolded relative to the second housing when the sensor assembly detects a first motion.

[0006] It can be understood that the electronic device in the embodiment can include a button, a sensor assembly, and a control circuit. The sensing portion of the button can be located in the communication hole of the first back cover. The sensor assembly can contact the sensing portion and be electrically connected to the control circuit. When the electronic device is in a closed state and a user needs to use the electronic device, the user can trigger the sensor assembly by touching the sensing portion of the button. The control circuit can be configured to control the first shell to be unfolded by a certain angle relative to the second shell when the sensor assembly detects that the user's action on the sensing portion is a first action, thereby facilitating the user to subsequently operate the first shell to be unfolded relative to the second shell and improving the user's opening and closing experience. The sensing portion of the button can be exposed relative to the surface of the first back cover away from the first middle frame. The sensing portion can be set by using the planar size of the first back cover, that is, the setting of the sensing portion of the button is not limited by the thickness of the electronic device itself. In this way, the sensing portion of the button is not limited by the thickness of the first shell. Even if the electronic device is thin, the sensing portion can be set to be more eye-catching, thereby improving the user's recognition of the sensing portion of the button and improving the user's experience. In other words, the electronic device in the embodiment can balance the thinness of the electronic device and the opening and closing experience, and the user's experience is better.

[0007] In a possible implementation, at least part of the button is exposed relative to the first back cover. In this way, the user can trigger the sensor assembly by performing a first action on the part of the button exposed relative to the first back cover, so that the first shell can be unfolded relative to the second shell.

[0008] In a possible implementation, the sensor assembly includes a plurality of sensors, the plurality of sensors are arranged in sequence along a first direction, and the plurality of sensors are arranged opposite the button. The length extension direction of the sensing portion is parallel to the first direction.

[0009] In this way, the user can trigger the sensor assembly by touching the sensing portion and sliding along the sensing surface of the sensing portion in the first direction, so that the control circuit can control the first shell to be unfolded relative to the second shell. That is, the user can trigger the sensor assembly and control the control circuit to control the first shell to be unfolded relative to the second shell by performing a sliding action (which is also a first action in the embodiment) on the sensing portion.

[0010] In a possible implementation, the first action is a sliding action, and the sensor assembly detects the first action when the plurality of sensors are triggered in sequence along the first direction.

[0011] It can be understood that, compared with triggering the sensor assembly by pressing the sensing part of the button, after the user presses the sensing part, the user's hand will block the first shell from unfolding relative to the second shell before the user's hand is completely unloaded from the sensing part, affecting the user's unfolding experience. Moreover, the probability of false touch is high when the sensor assembly is triggered by pressing the button, and the user experience is poor. In the embodiment, the user can trigger the sensor assembly by sliding the touch sensing part. On the one hand, the user does not need to apply force to the sensing part to trigger the sensor assembly, so that the user's hand does not hinder the first shell from unfolding relative to the second shell after triggering the sensor assembly, and the user's unfolding experience is good. On the other hand, the user needs to continuously touch and slide on the surface of the sensing part to trigger the sensor assembly, thereby reducing the probability of false touch of the user, and the user experience is good.

[0012] In a possible implementation, the sensing part includes a sensing surface, the sensing surface is exposed through the communication hole of the first back cover, and the distance between the sensing surface and the sensor is less than or equal to 1.5 mm. In this way, the distance between the sensor and the sensing surface is close, which is beneficial to improve the sensing sensitivity of the sensor.

[0013] In a possible implementation, the sensor is a capacitive sensor, and the material of the button is a non-metal material. In this way, the control circuit can detect the capacitance change of the sensing surface of the button through the sensor to identify the action of the user on the button.

[0014] In a possible implementation, the electronic device further includes a plurality of indicator lights, the plurality of indicator lights are all installed in the first internal space and are electrically connected to the control circuit, and the plurality of indicator lights are arranged in sequence along the first direction. The first back cover includes a light-transmitting region and a non-light-transmitting region, and the plurality of indicator lights are arranged opposite to the light-transmitting region. When the plurality of sensors are triggered along the first direction, the plurality of indicator lights are lit along the first direction.

[0015] It can be understood that the electronic device in the embodiment further includes a plurality of indicator lights. The plurality of indicator lights can all be installed in the first internal space of the first shell and be electrically connected to the control circuit. The plurality of indicator lights can be arranged in sequence along the first direction. The first back cover can include a light-transmitting region and a non-light-transmitting region. The plurality of indicator lights can all be arranged opposite to the light-transmitting region. When the plurality of sensors are triggered along the first direction, the plurality of indicator lights can be lit along the first direction. In this way, the order of lighting of the plurality of indicator lights can correspond to the order of triggering of the plurality of sensors, so that the corresponding indicator light can be lit when the sensor is triggered, to give visual feedback to the user, thereby improving the user experience.

[0016] In a possible implementation, the electronic device further includes a support located in the first internal space and fixedly connected to the first middle frame, and the sensor assembly is located on a side of the support facing the sensing part and fixedly connected to the support. In this way, when the thickness of the first shell is constant, compared with the case where the first end of the circuit board is directly fixed to the first middle frame, the distance between the first end of the circuit board and the first back cover is larger, and the thickness of the sensing part of the button needs to be set larger to enable the sensing part to contact the sensor assembly on the first end of the circuit board, but this increases the distance between the sensing surface of the sensing part and the sensor in the sensor assembly, affecting the sensing sensitivity of the sensor. In the embodiment, the support is arranged to raise the first end of the circuit board, which effectively shortens the distance between the first end of the circuit board and the first back cover, thereby reducing the thickness of the sensing part of the button and shortening the distance between the sensing surface of the sensing part and the sensor, to improve the sensing sensitivity of the sensor and improve the user experience.

[0017] In a possible implementation, the sensor assembly is in contact with the button. In this way, the sensor assembly is in direct contact with the button, which is conducive to improving the sensing sensitivity of the sensor assembly.

[0018] In a possible implementation, the electronic device further includes foam fixed between the sensor assembly and the support, and the foam is in a compressed state.

[0019] It can be understood that the electronic device in the embodiment further includes foam, which can be fixed between the first end of the circuit board and the support. When the first back cover and the button are assembled and fixed together with the first middle frame, the sensing part of the button can contact the sensor assembly located at the first end of the circuit board and press the sensor assembly. At this time, the circuit board can press the foam under the action of the button, so that the foam is in a compressed state. In this way, by arranging the foam between the first end of the circuit board and the support, the problem that a gap exists between the sensing part of the button and the sensor assembly due to size error / assembly error and the like when the first back cover and the button are assembled and fixed together with the first middle frame, affecting the sensing sensitivity of the sensor assembly, can be avoided.

[0020] In a possible implementation, the button further includes an extension part located in the first internal space, the extension part is fixedly connected to the sensing part, and another part of the extension part is arranged in stack with the first back cover and fixedly connected to the first back cover. In this way, by arranging the extension part of the button to be fixedly connected to the first back cover, the fixing area of the button and the first back cover can be effectively increased, to increase the fixing stability therebetween.

[0021] In a possible implementation, the first shell includes a first rotating end and a first operation end arranged opposite to each other, the first rotating end is movably connected to the second shell, and the first operation end is directed in a second direction, which is perpendicular to the length direction of the sensing part. The communication hole is arranged on the first operation end. In this way, the sensing part of the button can be located on the first operation end. After the user performs the first action on the sensing part and causes the first shell to be unfolded relative to the second shell by a certain angle, the user can conveniently operate the first operation end to cause the first shell to continue to be unfolded relative to the second shell to the open state. The user's overall operation is smooth and continuous, which is beneficial to improving the user experience.

[0022] In a possible implementation, the first rear cover includes a first side surface and a second side surface arranged opposite to each other in the second direction, the first side surface is located at the first operation end, and the communication hole penetrates through the first side surface. In this way, on the one hand, the assembly tolerance of the button and the first rear cover can be controlled when they are assembled, and on the other hand, the influence of arranging the communication hole on the first rear cover on the structural strength of the first rear cover can be reduced, which is beneficial to guaranteeing the structural strength of the first rear cover and prolonging the service life of the electronic device.

[0023] In a possible implementation, the first rear cover includes a first flat portion and a first arc-shaped portion connected to each other, the first arc-shaped portion is arranged closer to the first operation end than the first flat portion, and the communication hole is located on the first arc-shaped portion. In this way, the sensing part of the button can be located on the first operation end. After the user performs the first action on the sensing part and causes the first shell to be unfolded relative to the second shell by a certain angle, the user can conveniently operate the first operation end to cause the first shell to continue to be unfolded relative to the second shell to the open state. The user's overall operation is smooth and continuous, which is beneficial to improving the user experience.

[0024] In a possible implementation, the length of the sensing part is in a range from 20 mm to 30 mm. In this way, the length of the sensing part is moderate, which is beneficial to the user to perform the sliding operation on the sensing part.

[0025] In a second aspect, a control method for automatically opening an electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a first shell and a second shell, the first shell can be opened or closed relative to the second shell, and an included angle between the first shell and the second shell is an opening and closing angle. When the electronic device is in a closed state, the opening and closing angle is 0°. The electronic device also has a pop-open state and an open state. When the electronic device is in the pop-open state, the opening and closing angle is greater than 0° and less than 90°. When the electronic device is in the open state, the opening and closing angle is greater than 90°. When the electronic device is in the closed state, a detection signal of a sensor assembly is received. When the detection signal meets a preset condition, the first shell is controlled to be unfolded relative to the second shell.

[0026] It can be understood that the control method in this embodiment triggers the button of the electronic device to trigger the sensor assembly. The sensor assembly can detect the action of the user acting on the button and transmit the detection signal to the control circuit. The control circuit can determine whether the detection signal meets the preset condition to determine whether to control the first shell to unfold relative to the second shell. In this way, by determining whether the detection signal meets the preset condition through the control circuit, it can be realized that the user is prevented from being mistaken, and the user experience is improved.

[0027] In a possible implementation, the sensor assembly includes a plurality of sensors, and the sensors are configured to emit corresponding sub-signals in response to an action on the sensing part of the electronic device; and the detection signal meets the preset condition when the detection signal is a plurality of sub-signals corresponding to at least three sensors arranged in series. In this way, the user needs to perform a sliding action on the surface of the button to trigger at least three sensors arranged in series, so that the first shell can be opened relative to the second shell, which can effectively prevent the user from being mistaken and improve the user experience.

[0070] FIG. 1 is a structural schematic diagram of an electronic device 1000 in a closed state according to an embodiment of the present application. FIG. 2 is a structural schematic diagram of the electronic device 1000 in a pop-open state according to an embodiment of the present application. FIG. 3 is a structural schematic diagram of the electronic device 1000 in an open state according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0071] As shown in FIGS. 1-3, the electronic device 1000 can be a notebook computer or other foldable electronic device. The electronic device 1000 in the present embodiment is exemplarily taken as a notebook computer. The electronic device 1000 can include a housing apparatus 100 and a screen 200. The housing apparatus 100 can include a first housing 10, a second housing 20, and a rotating assembly 30. The screen 200 can be mounted on the first housing 10. The rotating assembly 30 can connect the first housing 10 and the second housing 20. The first housing 10 and the second housing 20 can be relatively unfolded or relatively closed under the movement of the rotating assembly 30. The first housing 10 can include a first rotating end 10a and a first operating end 10b arranged oppositely. The first rotating end 10a can be movably connected to the rotating assembly 30. The second housing 20 can include a second rotating end 20a and a second operating end 20b arranged oppositely. The second rotating end 20a can be movably connected to the rotating assembly 30. The electronic device 1000 can further include an input module 300. The input module 300 can include a touchpad and a plurality of keys. The input module 300 can be mounted on the second housing 20.

[0072] The housing apparatus 100 can be in a closed state as shown in FIG. 1 and an open state as shown in FIG. 3. The housing apparatus 100 can also be in a pop-open state as shown in FIG. 2. The pop-open state can be any state between the open state and the closed state. When the housing apparatus 100 is in the closed state, the electronic device 1000 can correspondingly be in the closed state. The first housing 10 and the second housing 20 can be arranged oppositely. The screen 200 can be located inside the housing apparatus 100 and face the second housing 20. At this time, an opening and closing angle a between the first housing 10 and the second housing 20 can be 0°. A direction in which the first operating end 10b points to the first rotating end 10a can be parallel to a direction in which the second operating end 20b points to the second rotating end 20a.

[0073] When the housing apparatus 100 is in the pop-open state, the electronic device 1000 can correspondingly be in the pop-open state. An opening and closing angle a between the first housing 10 and the second housing 20 can be greater than 0° and less than 90°. At this time, a direction in which the first operating end 10b points to the first rotating end 10a can intersect a direction in which the second operating end 20b points to the second rotating end 20a. In some embodiments, when the housing apparatus 100 is in the pop-open state, the opening and closing angle a between the first housing 10 and the second housing 20 can be in a range of 5° to 15°. For example, the opening and closing angle a can be 8° at this time.

[0074] Exemplarily, when the shell device 100 is in the open state, the electronic device 1000 can correspondingly be in the open state. The opening and closing angle a between the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 can be greater than 90°, for example, the opening and closing angle a can be 110° at this time. At this time, the display side of the screen 200 can be consistent with the opening direction of the opening and closing angle a, and the user has a better viewing experience and operation experience.

[0075] Exemplarily, the electronic device 1000 can further include a plurality of components (not shown in the figure), each of which can be installed inside the shell device 100. The plurality of components can include, for example, a control circuit, an internal memory, an external memory interface, a universal serial bus (USB) interface, a charging management module, a power management module, a battery, an antenna, a communication module, a camera, an audio module, a speaker, a receiver, a microphone, an earphone interface, a sensor module, a key, a motor, an indicator, and a subscriber identification module (SIM) card interface, etc.

[0076] It should be understood that FIGS. 1-3 only schematically show some components included in the electronic device 1000, and the actual shape, actual size and actual structure of these components are not limited by FIGS. 1-3. In other embodiments, when the electronic device 1000 is in other forms, the electronic device 1000 can also not include the screen 200.

[0077] In other embodiments, the electronic device 1000 can also be a foldable mobile phone, a foldable tablet, or other foldable electronic device. At this time, the screen 200 can also be installed on the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 at the same time. The screen 200 can move with the shell device 100. The shell device 100 can drive the screen 200 to unfold or fold, so that the electronic device 1000 can be unfolded to the open state, or folded to the closed state. When the electronic device 1000 is in the closed state, the screen 200 can be located on the inside of the shell device 100, and part of the screen 200 is in a bent state. When the electronic device 1000 is in the open state, the screen 200 can be unfolded. At this time, the screen 200 can perform full-screen display.

[0078] Please refer to FIGS. 1-3 again, the first housing 10 can include a first surface 101 and a second surface 102 disposed opposite to each other. The first surface 101 can be disposed farther away from the screen 200 than the second surface 102. The electronic device 1000 can further include a button 40. The button 40 can be fixed to the first housing 10, and at least a part of the button 40 can be exposed relative to the first surface 101 of the first housing 10. When the electronic device 1000 is in the closed state, a user can trigger the controller of the electronic device 1000 to control the electronic device 1000 to switch from the closed state to the unfolded state by touching the part of the button 40 exposed relative to the first surface 101. At this time, the user can hold the first operation end 10b of the first housing 10 and apply a force to it, so that the first housing 10 is unfolded relative to the second housing 20, thereby causing the electronic device 1000 to switch from the unfolded state to the open state.

[0079] It can be understood that a general electronic device usually provides a handgrip structure on the side edge of the first housing and / or the second housing, so that the user holds the edge of the first housing by the handgrip structure to operate the first housing to open relative to the second housing. When the thickness of the electronic device is relatively thin, the thickness of the side edge of the first housing / second housing is also relatively thin. At this time, due to the thickness of the first housing / second housing itself, it is difficult for the electronic device to provide a handgrip structure on the side edge of the first housing / second housing, resulting in a poor user experience of opening and closing. That is, a general electronic device cannot simultaneously consider thinness and opening and closing experience.

[0080] The electronic device 1000 in this embodiment can set the button 40 on the first shell 10, and at least part of the button 40 can be exposed relative to the surface (in this embodiment, the first surface 101) of the first shell 10 facing away from the screen 200. In this way, when the electronic device 1000 is in the closed state, the user can trigger the control circuit to control the first shell 10 of the electronic device 1000 to open at an angle relative to the second shell 20 by touching the part of the button 40 exposed relative to the first surface 101, thereby facilitating the user to subsequently operate the first shell 10 to unfold relative to the second shell 20, and improving the user's opening and closing experience. The part of the button 40 used to be triggered by the user can be exposed relative to the surface of the first shell 10 facing away from the screen 200, and can be set using the length and / or width dimension of the first shell 10, that is, the setting of the button 40 will not be limited by the thickness of the electronic device 1000 itself. In this way, the size of the part of the button 40 exposed relative to the first surface 101 will not be limited by the thickness of the first shell 10. Even if the electronic device 1000 is relatively thin, the part of the button 40 used to be triggered by the user can be set to be more eye-catching, so that the user's recognition of the button 40 can be improved without affecting the thickness of the electronic device 1000 itself, and the user's experience can be improved. In other words, the electronic device 1000 in this embodiment can balance the thinness setting and the opening and closing experience of the electronic device 1000, and the user's experience is better.

[0081] The specific structure of the button 40 and its working principle will be described below in conjunction with the relevant drawings.

[0082] FIG. 4 is a structural schematic diagram of the partial structure of the electronic device 1000 at A in some embodiments. FIG. 5 is an exploded structural schematic diagram of the structure shown in FIG. 4 in some embodiments.

[0083] As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the first shell 10 can include a first middle frame 11 and a first back cover 12. The first back cover 12 can be fixedly connected to the first middle frame 11. The first back cover 12 and the first middle frame 11 can enclose a first internal space 10c of the first shell 10. For ease of description, the direction in which the first operating end 10b of the first shell 10 points to the first rotating end 10a (please refer to FIG. 2) is defined as the X-axis direction, and the thickness direction of the first shell 10 is defined as the Z-axis direction. It can be understood that the coordinate system setting of the first shell 10 can be flexibly set according to actual needs. In this embodiment, the X-axis direction is the width direction of the first shell 10. The Y-axis direction is the length direction of the first shell 10. In other embodiments, the X-axis direction can also be the length direction of the first shell 10. The Y-axis direction can also be the width direction of the first shell 10.

[0084] Exemplarily, the first back cover 12 can include a first face 121 and a second face 122 disposed opposite to each other. The first face 121 can be disposed away from the first middle frame 11 compared to the second face 122. The screen 200 (please refer to FIG. 3) can be located at a side of the first middle frame 11 facing away from the first back cover 12, and fixedly connected to the first middle frame 11. At this time, the surface of the first back cover 12 facing away from the first middle frame 11 (i.e. the first face 121 of the first back cover 12) can constitute the first surface 101 of the first shell 10.

[0085] Exemplarily, the first back cover 12 can include a first flat portion 12a and a first arc-shaped portion 12b connected. The first arc-shaped portion 12b can be disposed closer to the first operation end 10b compared to the first flat portion 12a. At this time, the part of the first face 121 located at the first flat portion 12a can be a plane. The part of the first face 121 located at the first arc-shaped portion 12b can be an arc surface. In other embodiments, the first face 121 can also not have an arc surface. That is, the first face 121 can be entirely a plane. It should be noted that the first flat portion 12a and the first arc-shaped portion 12b of the first back cover 12 are schematically divided by the dashed lines in FIG. 4 and subsequent drawings. It should be understood that although the first back cover 12 is divided into two parts (i.e. the first flat portion 12a and the first arc-shaped portion 12b in this embodiment) in this embodiment, it does not affect that the first back cover 12 is a one-piece structure, that is, the first flat portion 12a can be integrally formed with the first arc-shaped portion 12b.

[0086] Exemplarily, please refer to FIG. 2, the first back cover 12 can also include a first side face 123 and a second side face 124 disposed opposite to each other along the X-axis direction. The first side face 123 can be located at the first operation end 10b of the first shell 10. The second side face 124 can be located at the first rotation end 10a of the first shell 10. That is, the first side face 123 can be disposed closer to the first operation end 10b compared to the second side face 124. The first arc-shaped portion 12b of the first face 121 can be connected between the first side face 123 and the first flat portion 12a.

[0087] Exemplarily, the first back cover 12 can be provided with a communication hole 125. The communication hole 125 can penetrate the first face 121, and communicate the first internal space 10c of the first shell 10. The communication hole 125 can be located at the first operation end 10b. That is, the communication hole 125 can be disposed closer to the first side face 123 compared to the second side face 124 (please refer to FIG. 2). The distance between the communication hole 125 and the first side face 123 in the X-axis direction can be greater than the distance between the communication hole 125 and the second side face 124 in the X-axis direction. Exemplarily, the communication hole 125 can be located at the first arc-shaped portion 12b, and penetrate the first side face 123. In other embodiments, the communication hole 125 can also be located at the first arc-shaped portion 12b, and disposed in a spaced manner with the first side face 123.

[0088] FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the button 40 in some embodiments. FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of the partial cross-sectional structure of the structure shown in FIG. 4 along B-B in an embodiment. FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram of the partial cross-sectional structure of the structure shown in FIG. 4 along C-C in an embodiment.

[0089] As shown in FIGS. 6-8, the button 40 can be made of a non-metallic material, such as glass fiber, plastic, or polyurethane (PU), etc. The button 40 can include a sensing portion 41 and an extending portion 42. The extending portion 42 can include a first top surface 421 and a first bottom surface 422 disposed opposite to each other. The sensing portion 41 can be fixedly connected to the first top surface 421 of the extending portion 42. That is, the sensing portion 41 can be protruded from the first top surface 421 of the extending portion 42 on a side opposite to the first bottom surface 422. The sensing portion 41 can be stacked with the extending portion 42. The sensing portion 41 can include a sensing surface 411. It should be understood that the sensing portion 41 and the extending portion 42 of the button 40 are schematically divided by the narrower dashed lines in FIGS. 6-8.

[0090] Exemplarily, the sensing portion 41 can have a substantially long strip shape. That is, the length dimension of the sensing portion 41 can be greater than the width dimension and the thickness dimension of the sensing portion 41. The sensing portion 41 can include a first end 41a and a second end 41b disposed opposite to each other in the length extension direction of the sensing portion 41. Exemplarily, the length extension direction of the sensing portion 41 (i.e., the direction in which the first end 41a of the sensing portion 41 points to the second end 41b) can be parallel to the Y-axis direction.

[0091] Exemplarily, the extending portion 42 can include a second flat portion 423 and a second arc-shaped portion 424 connected to each other. That is, the portion of the first top surface 421 located at the second flat portion 423 can have a flat surface, and the portion of the first top surface 421 located at the second arc-shaped portion 424 can have an arc surface. The sensing portion 41 can be fixedly connected to the second arc-shaped portion 424. The sensing surface 411 of the sensing portion 41 can have a shape substantially the same as the shape of the portion of the first top surface 421 located at the second arc-shaped portion 424. That is, the sensing surface 411 can also have an arc surface. In other embodiments, the extending portion 42 can not include the second arc-shaped portion 424. That is, the first top surface 421 can be entirely flat. It should be understood that the second flat portion 423 and the second arc-shaped portion 424 of the extending portion 42 are schematically divided by the wider dashed lines in FIGS. 6-8.

[0092] Exemplarily, the extension part 42 can be provided with a dispensing groove 425. An opening of the dispensing groove 425 can be formed on the first top surface 421 of the extension part 42. The extension part 42 can also be provided with an avoiding groove 426. An opening of the avoiding groove 426 can be formed on the first bottom surface 422 of the extension part 42. In some embodiments, a part of the avoiding groove 426 can also be formed on the sensing part 41.

[0093] It should be noted that although the button 40 is divided into two parts (in this embodiment, the sensing part 41 and the extension part 42) in this embodiment, it does not affect that the button 40 is a one-piece structure, that is, the main body part and the extension part 42 can be formed integrally. In FIG. 8, the sensing part 41 and the extension part 42 of the button 40 are schematically divided by a dashed line.

[0094] FIG. 9 is a schematic view of an assembly structure of the button 40 and the first back cover 12 in some embodiments of FIG. 5. FIG. 10 is a schematic view of a partial cross-sectional structure of the structure of FIG. 4 along B-B in an embodiment.

[0095] As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the extension part 42 of the button 40 can be fixedly connected to the second surface 122 of the first back cover 12. The second flat part 423 of the extension part 42 can be stacked with the first flat part 12a of the first back cover 12. The second arc-shaped part 424 of the extension part 42 can be stacked with the first arc-shaped part 12b of the first back cover 12. Exemplarily, the electronic device 1000 can also include a first adhesive 50. The first adhesive 50 can be arranged in the dispensing groove 425 of the extension part 42. At this time, the extension part 42 can be fixedly connected to the first back cover 12 by the first adhesive 50. The first adhesive 50 can be two-liquid mixed hardening adhesive (AB adhesive). In this way, by arranging the extension part 42 of the button 40 to be fixedly connected to the first back cover 12, the fixing area of the button 40 and the first back cover 12 can be effectively increased, so as to increase the fixing stability therebetween. In addition, by arranging the dispensing groove 425 of the extension part 42 to accommodate the first adhesive 50, the first adhesive 50 can be prevented from overflowing relative to the button 40 due to being pressed by the two buttons 40 and the first back cover 12 during assembly. At the same time, the first adhesive 50 can utilize the thickness dimension space of the button 40, which is conducive to saving space.

[0096] Exemplarily, the sensing portion 41 of the button 40 can be located in the communication hole 125 of the first back cover 12. The shape of the sensing portion 41 can be adapted to the shape of the communication hole 125. At this time, the sensing surface 411 of the sensing portion 41 can be exposed through the communication hole 125 of the first back cover 12. The sensing surface 411 and the first surface 121 of the first back cover 12 can jointly constitute a part of the appearance surface of the first shell 10. The sensing surface 411 can be located at the side of the sensing portion 41 facing away from the first interior space 10c. Wherein, the length extension direction of the sensing portion 41 can be parallel to the Y-axis direction. The length of the sensing portion 41 can be in the range of 20-30 mm. The sensing portion 41 can contact the inner circumferential side surface 125a of the communication hole 125. In some embodiments, there can also be a gap (not shown in the figure) between the sensing portion 41 and the inner circumferential side surface 125a of the communication hole 125 (the inner circumferential side surface 125a of the communication hole 125 is also shown in Fig. 5), and the width of the gap can be less than or equal to 0.1 mm. It can be understood that by assembling and binding the button 40 and the first back cover 12 together to form an integral structure, the gap width between the sensing portion 41 of the button 40 and the inner circumferential side surface 125a of the communication hole 125 can be effectively controlled. In this way, the gap between the sensing portion 41 and the inner circumferential side surface 125a of the communication hole 125 is small, so that dust and other impurities entering the first interior space 10c of the first shell 10 from the gap between the sensing portion 41 and the inner circumferential side surface 125a of the communication hole 125 can be avoided, which affects the normal operation of other devices located in the first interior space 10c.

[0097] Exemplarily, the sensing surface 411 of the sensing portion 41 can be flush with the first surface 121 of the first back cover 12. In this way, the appearance surface of the first back cover 12 is relatively smooth, and the aesthetic degree is good. In some embodiments, the sensing surface 411 of the sensing portion 41 can also have a step difference with the first surface 121 of the first back cover 12. For example, part of the sensing portion 41 can also protrude relative to the first surface 121 of the first back cover 12; or the sensing portion 41 can also form a recess with the inner circumferential side surface 125a of the communication hole 125. In this way, on the one hand, the button 40 can be more eye-catching, which is conducive to improving the recognition degree of the button 40. On the other hand, when the user touches the button 40, the step difference between the sensing surface 411 and the first surface 121 can provide a touch feeling for the user, so as to improve the operation accuracy of the user and improve the user experience.

[0098] Fig. 11 is a structural schematic diagram of the control circuit shown in Fig. 5 in some embodiments. Fig. 12 is an exploded structural schematic diagram of the control circuit shown in Fig. 11 in some embodiments.

[0099] As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the electronic device 1000 can further include a circuit assembly 60. The circuit assembly 60 can include a circuit board 61, a processor 62 (integrated circuit, IC), and a sensor assembly 63. It is to be understood that the sensor assembly 63 is schematically outlined by a dashed line in FIG. 11. Among them, the circuit board 61, the processor 62, and a controller (Embedded Controller, EC) (not shown in the figure) can collectively constitute at least part of the control circuit of the electronic device 1000. Among them, the circuit board 61 can be a flexible circuit board (Flexible Printed Circuit, FPC). In other embodiments, the circuit board 61 can also be a hard circuit board (Printed Circuit Board, PCB) or a soft and hard combined circuit board (rigid-flex PCB).

[0100] Exemplarily, the circuit board 61 can include a first end portion 611, a first branch portion 612, an intermediate portion 613, a second branch portion 614, and a second end portion 615 connected in sequence. The sensor assembly 63 can be fixed to the first end portion 611 of the circuit board 61. The processor 62 can be fixed to the intermediate portion 613. Both the sensor assembly 63 and the processor 62 can be electrically connected to the circuit board 61. The second end portion 615 of the circuit board 61 can be provided with a board-to-board connector 64 (Board-to-board Connectors, BTB). The second end portion 615 of the circuit board 61 can be electrically connected to the controller (not shown in the figure) of the electronic device 1000 through the board-to-board connector 64.

[0101] Exemplarily, the sensor assembly 63 can include a plurality of sensors 631. The plurality of sensors 631 can each be a capacitive sensor 631. The plurality of sensors 631 can be arranged in sequence at equal intervals along a first direction. Among them, the first direction can be parallel to the Y-axis direction. The interval between adjacent two sensors 631 can be equal. Exemplarily, the interval between adjacent two sensors 631 can be in the range of 3 to 15 millimeters, for example, the interval between adjacent two sensors 631 can be 5 millimeters, 6 millimeters, etc.

[0102] Exemplarily, the circuit assembly 60 can further include a reinforcing sheet 65. The reinforcing sheet 65 can be located on the side of the intermediate portion 613 of the circuit board 61 facing away from the processor 62 and fixedly connected to the intermediate portion 613. In this way, the reinforcing sheet 65 can structurally reinforce the intermediate portion 613 and improve the structural reliability of the intermediate portion 613. In some embodiments, the circuit board 61 can also be a hard circuit board, or the circuit board 61 is a soft and hard combined circuit board and the intermediate portion 613 is a hard circuit board. At this time, the circuit assembly 60 can further not include the reinforcing sheet 65.

[0103] FIG. 13 is a schematic diagram of a structure of the support 70 shown in FIG. 5 in some embodiments. FIG. 14 is a schematic diagram of an assembled structure of the partial structure shown in FIG. 5 in some embodiments. FIG. 15 is a schematic diagram of a partial cross-sectional structure of the structure shown in FIG. 4 along B-B in an embodiment.

[0104] As shown in FIGS. 13-15, the electronic device 1000 can further include the support 70. The support 70 can include a bottom portion 71 and a protruding portion 72. The protruding portion 72 can be fixedly connected to the bottom portion 71 and stacked with the bottom portion 71 in the Z-axis direction. The protruding portion 72 can include a second top surface 721 disposed away from the bottom portion 71. The second top surface 721 can include a first portion 7211, a second portion 7212, and a third portion 7213 connected in sequence. The first portion 7211 and the third portion 7213 can each be a flat surface. The first portion 7211 can intersect the second portion 7212. The second portion 7212 can be a curved surface. It should be noted that although the support 70 is described as being divided into two parts (i.e., the bottom portion 71 and the protruding portion 72 in this embodiment) in this embodiment, the support 70 can be a one-piece structure, i.e., the bottom portion 71 and the protruding portion 72 can be formed integrally. In FIG. 15 and subsequent figures, the bottom portion 71 and the protruding portion 72 of the support 70 are schematically divided by a dashed line.

[0105] For example, the first middle frame 11 can include a frame 111 and a middle plate 112. The frame 111 can fixedly connect the periphery of the middle plate 112. The bottom portion 71 of the support 70 can be fixedly connected to the middle plate 112 of the first middle frame 11 by adhesion or the like. For example, the bottom portion 71 can be fixedly connected to the middle plate 112 of the first middle frame 11 by a back adhesive or the like. At this time, the protruding portion 72 can be located on the side of the bottom portion 71 away from the middle plate 112 of the first middle frame 11. In other embodiments, the support 70 can be a one-piece structure with the first middle frame 11.

[0106] FIG. 16 is a schematic diagram of an assembled structure of the structure and the circuit assembly 60 shown in FIG. 14 in some embodiments. FIG. 17 is a schematic diagram of a partial cross-sectional structure of the structure shown in FIG. 4 along B-B in an embodiment.

[0107] As shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, the first end portion 611 of the circuit board 61 can be fixedly connected to the second top surface 721 of the protrusion 72. Exemplarily, the bracket 70 can further be provided with a fixing column 73 (also shown in FIGS. 13-15). The fixing column 73 can be fixedly connected to the second top surface 721 of the protrusion 72. The first end portion 611 of the circuit board 61 can further be provided with a fixing hole 611a. In this way, the fixing hole 611a of the circuit board 61 cooperates with the fixing column 73 of the bracket 70 to facilitate the assembly positioning between the circuit board 61 and the bracket 70, thereby improving the assembly efficiency and assembly precision. Secondly, as shown in FIG. 13, the second portion 7212 of the second top surface 721 of the bracket 70 is an arc surface, and the second portion 7212 is connected between the first portion 7211 and the third portion 7213 to serve as a transition to avoid the sharp corner formed by the direct connection between the first portion 7211 and the third portion 7213, thereby preventing the circuit board 61 from being damaged due to the large stress at the corner.

[0108] Exemplarily, the electronic device 1000 can further include a foam 81. The foam 81 can be fixedly connected to the second top surface 721 of the protrusion 72. The first end portion 611 of the circuit board 61 can be fixedly connected to the surface of the foam 81 facing away from the protrusion 72. That is, the foam 81 can be fixedly connected between the first end portion 611 of the circuit board 61 and the protrusion 72 of the bracket 70. In other embodiments, the electronic device 1000 can further not include the foam 81. The first end portion 611 of the circuit board 61 can be fixedly connected to the surface of the protrusion 72 facing away from the bottom 71. In some other embodiments, the electronic device 1000 can further not include the bracket 70 and the foam 81. The first end portion 611 of the circuit board 61 can be fixedly connected to the first middle frame 11.

[0109] In some embodiments, the bracket 70 can further have an avoiding notch 74. The avoiding notch 74 can be used to avoid other devices (e.g., front camera module, etc.) located in the first internal space 10c.

[0110] FIG. 18 is a structural schematic diagram of the structure shown in FIG. 4 in some embodiments in which the first rear cover 12 is hidden. FIG. 19 is a cross-sectional structural schematic diagram of the structure shown in FIG. 4 along B-B in an embodiment. FIG. 20 is a cross-sectional structural schematic diagram of the structure shown in FIG. 4 along C-C in an embodiment. FIG. 21 is a structural schematic diagram of the structure shown in FIG. 4 from another perspective. In FIG. 21, the sensor assembly 63 is schematically shown by a dashed line.

[0111] As shown in FIGS. 18-21, the electronic device 1000 can further include a second adhesive 82. The first back cover 12 and the button 40 can be assembled and fixed together with the first middle frame 11. The first back cover 12 can be fixedly connected to the first middle frame 11 by the second adhesive 82. The second adhesive 82 can be a back adhesive. A portion of the first bottom surface 422 of the extension portion 42 of the button 40 can be fixedly connected to the bracket 70 and / or the first middle frame 11 by the second adhesive 82. The button 40 can be fixedly connected to the first middle frame 11 by the second adhesive 82. The sensing portion 41 of the button 40 can be arranged opposite to the bezel 111 of the first middle frame 11. The sensing portion 41 can contact the bezel 111 of the first middle frame 11. In some embodiments, a gap can exist between the sensing portion 41 and the bezel 111 of the first middle frame 11, and the width of the gap can be less than or equal to 0.15 mm. It can be understood that, in the present embodiment, the button 40 and the first back cover 12 are assembled and bound together to form an integral structure, and then the integral structure is assembled and fixed with the first middle frame 11, so that the width of the gap between the sensing portion 41 of the button 40 and the bezel 111 of the first middle frame 11 can be effectively controlled. In this way, the gap between the sensing portion 41 and the bezel 111 of the first middle frame 11 is small, so that dust and other impurities cannot enter the first internal space 10c of the first housing 10 through the gap between the sensing portion 41 and the bezel 111 of the first middle frame 11, and the normal operation of other devices in the first internal space 10c is not affected.

[0112] The first end portion 611 of the circuit board 61 and the sensor assembly 63 can be accommodated in the avoiding groove 426 of the extension portion 42 of the button 40. At this time, the groove bottom surface 426a of the avoiding groove 426 of the extension portion 42 can contact the sensor assembly 63 on the circuit board 61. The sensor assembly 63 can be arranged opposite to the button 40. The projection of the sensing portion 41 on the plane where the sensor assembly 63 is located can cover at least part of the sensor assembly 63. That is, the sensor assembly 63 can be located directly below the sensing portion 41.

[0113] When a user touches the sensing surface 411 of the button 40, the sensor 631 corresponding to the touch position of the user in the sensor assembly 63 can sense the capacitance value of the touch position to identify the current touch position of the user. When the user touches and slides on the sensing surface 411 of the button 40, multiple sensors 631 in the sensor assembly 63 can cooperate to identify the capacitance value changes at different positions of the sensing surface 411, so as to identify the touch and slide action of the user. The distance between the sensor 631 and the sensing surface 411 can be less than or equal to 1.5 mm. In this way, the distance between the sensor 631 and the sensing surface 411 is close, which is conducive to improving the sensing sensitivity of the sensor 631.

[0114] Exemplarily, the plurality of sensors 631 in the sensor assembly 63 can be sequentially marked as a first sensor 631a, a second sensor 631b, and so on along the first direction. When the user touches the sensing surface 411 of the touch sensing portion 41, the sensor 631 corresponding to the user's touch position can obtain the capacitance value of the position to form a sub-signal corresponding to the sensor 631 (for example, the sensor 631 triggered by the user's touch position is the first sensor 631a, and the first sensor 631a can correspondingly form a first sub-signal, and so on).

[0115] FIG. 22a is a schematic diagram when the user triggers the button 40. FIG. 22b is a schematic diagram after the user triggers the button 40. FIG. 23 is a schematic diagram of the automatic opening of the electronic device 1000.

[0116] As shown in FIGS. 21 to 23, when the user touches the sensing surface 411 of the touch sensing portion 41 and moves on the sensing surface 411, the user can sequentially trigger the plurality of sensors 631 along with the user's movement, and the plurality of sensors 631 can sequentially transmit corresponding sub-signals to the processor 62 according to the order of being triggered by the user. Among them, the first sensor 631a can transmit the first sub-information to the processor 62, the second sensor 631b can transmit the second sub-information to the processor 62, and so on. Among them, the plurality of sub-signals can collectively constitute the detection signal of the sensor assembly 63. That is, the sensor assembly 63 can transmit the detection signal to the processor 62. The processor 62 can determine whether the detection signal meets the preset condition to determine whether the user's movement on the touch sensing portion 41 is the first movement. Exemplarily, the sensor 631 can be a capacitive sensor. When the user touches the sensing surface 411, the sensor 631 can sense the capacitance value change of different positions of the sensing surface 411, so as to identify the coordinates of the user's finger touch position to determine whether the user's movement is the first movement.

[0117] Exemplarily, the first movement can be a sliding movement. The processor 62 can determine whether the user's movement on the touch sensing portion 41 is the first movement by determining whether the plurality of sub-signals in the detection signal is a continuous linear point. In other words, when the plurality of sub-signals in the detection signal is a continuous linear point, it is considered that the detection signal meets the preset condition. Exemplarily, when the plurality of sensors 631 are triggered along the first direction, the sensor assembly 63 can detect the first movement. Among them, the plurality of sub-signals being a continuous linear point can be a plurality of sub-signals corresponding to the plurality of sensors 631 arranged continuously. When the plurality of sub-signals is not a continuous linear point, the processor 62 can filter out the plurality of sub-signals, thereby preventing false touch.

[0118] For example, the processor 62 can determine whether the motion trajectory of the user is a linear continuous trajectory (e.g., the user continuously slides from the first end 41a to the second end 41b or continuously slides from the second end 41b to the first end 41a on the sensing portion 41) according to the order of acquiring the plurality of sub-signals constituting the detection signal and the positions of the sensors 631 corresponding to the plurality of sub-signals, and determine whether the plurality of sub-signals are continuous linear points (e.g., the user triggers the first sensor 631a to the Nth sensor 631 in sequence, and the processor 62 can acquire the first sub-signal to the Nth sub-signal in sequence, which are continuous linear points), so as to determine whether the motion of the user on the sensing portion 41 is the first motion. That is, when the detection signal is a plurality of sub-signals corresponding to a plurality of sensors 631 arranged in sequence, the plurality of sub-signals in the detection signal are considered to be continuous linear points, and the detection signal satisfies the preset condition. It should be understood that the continuous points refer to that there is no other sensor 631 not triggered between the two adjacent sensors 631 triggered in sequence. For example, when the user triggers the first sensor 631, the third sensor 631 and the fourth sensor 631 in the first direction Y, there is a second sensor 631 not triggered between the first sensor 631 and the third sensor 631, that is, the first sensor 631 and the third sensor 631 are not continuous, and the detection signal formed by triggering the plurality of sensors 631 is not a continuous linear point, that is, it does not satisfy the preset condition.

[0119] When the processor 62 determines that the detection signal satisfies the preset condition, it can be considered that the sensor assembly 63 detects the first motion of the user. At this time, the processor 62 can deliver a first signal to the controller. After the controller receives the first signal, it can control the first shell 10 to be unfolded to the unfolded state relative to the second shell 20. When the processor 62 determines that the detection signal does not satisfy the preset condition, the processor 62 will filter out the detection signal and will not deliver the first signal to the controller. At this time, the electronic device 1000 is still in the closed state. The standby power consumption of the processor 62 can be less than or equal to 10 mV. The processor 62 can support the electronic device 1000 to be turned off. In some embodiments, the electronic device 1000 can further include an open cover module (not shown in the figure). The open cover module can be electrically connected to the controller. The open cover module can be used to drive the first shell 10 to be opened to the unfolded state relative to the second shell 20.

[0120] In other words, when the electronic device 1000 is in the closed state, and the user touches the sensing portion 41 and moves on the sensing portion 41, the plurality of sensors 631 in the sensor assembly 63 can respectively acquire the capacitance value of the user touching the corresponding position of the sensing surface 411 to respectively form a plurality of sub-signals and sequentially transmit to the processor 62. That is, the processor 62 receives the detection signal from the sensor assembly 63. At this time, the processor 62 judges whether the detection signal transmitted by the sensor assembly 63 satisfies the preset condition (for example, judges whether the detection signal is a continuous linear report point). If the detection signal satisfies the preset condition, it is considered that the sensor assembly 63 detects the user's movement on the sensing portion 41 as the first movement, and the processor 62 can transmit the first signal to the controller to enable the controller to control the first shell 10 to open relative to the second shell 20 to the pop-up state. Subsequently, the user can hold the first shell 10 and apply a force to the first shell 10 to enable the first shell 10 to continue to open relative to the second shell 20 to the open state, thereby realizing the switching of the electronic device 1000 from the closed state to the open state.

[0121] In some embodiments, the sensor assembly 63 can include n sensors 631. n can be greater than or equal to 3. When n is equal to 3, the user needs to trigger 3 sensors 631. When n is greater than 3, the user needs to trigger more than 60*n sensors 631 in the sensor assembly 63 (60*n is not an integer, and the value is rounded up). For example, when the sensor assembly 63 includes five sensors 631, the user needs to trigger at least three sensors, for example, trigger the first sensor 631, the second sensor 631 and the third sensor 631 along the first direction Y, or trigger the second sensor 631, the third sensor 631 and the fourth sensor 631 along the first direction Y.

[0122] It can be understood that the electronic device 1000 in the embodiment can include the button 40, the sensor assembly 63 and the control circuit. The sensing portion 41 of the button 40 can be located in the communication hole 125 of the first back cover 12. The sensor assembly 63 can contact the sensing portion 41 and be electrically connected to the control circuit. When the electronic device 1000 is in the closed state and the user needs to use the electronic device 1000, the user can trigger the sensor assembly 63 by touching the sensing portion 41 of the button 40. The control circuit can be used to control the first shell 10 to be unfolded by a certain angle (for example, in the embodiment, the control circuit can control the first shell 10 to be unfolded by 8° relative to the second shell 20) relative to the second shell 20 when the sensor assembly 63 detects that the user's action on the sensing portion 41 is the first action, thereby facilitating the user to subsequently operate the first shell 10 to be unfolded relative to the second shell 20 and improving the user's opening and closing experience. Wherein, the sensing portion 41 of the button 40 can be exposed relative to the surface of the first back cover 12 (that is, the first surface 121 of the first back cover 12 in the embodiment) away from the first middle frame 11. The sensing portion 41 can be set by using the planar size of the first back cover 12, that is, the setting of the sensing portion 41 of the button 40 will not be limited by the thickness of the electronic device 1000 itself. In this way, the sensing portion 41 of the button 40 will not be limited by the thickness of the first shell 10. Even if the thickness of the electronic device 1000 is relatively thin, the sensing portion 41 can be set to be more eye-catching, thereby improving the user's recognition of the sensing portion 41 of the button 40 and improving the user's experience. In other words, the electronic device 1000 in the embodiment can balance the thinness setting and the opening and closing experience of the electronic device 1000, and the user's experience is better.

[0123] Secondly, the sensor assembly 63 in the embodiment can include a plurality of sensors 631 arranged at intervals along a first direction. The length extension direction of the sensing portion 41 can be parallel to the first direction. A user can trigger the sensor assembly 63 to deliver a signal to the controller by touching the sensing portion 41 and sliding the surface of the sensing portion 41 (i.e., the sensing surface 411 of the sensing portion 41 in the embodiment) facing away from the first middle frame 11 along the first direction, so that the controller can control the first shell 10 to unfold relative to the second shell 20. That is, the user can trigger the sensor assembly 63 by performing a sliding action (i.e., the first action in the embodiment) on the sensing portion 41, and make the control circuit control the first shell 10 to unfold relative to the second shell 20. In this way, compared with triggering the sensor assembly by pressing the sensing portion of the button, after the user presses the sensing portion, the user's hand will block the first shell from unfolding relative to the second shell before the user's hand completely unloads the sensing portion, affecting the user's unfolding experience. Moreover, the probability of accidental triggering of the sensor assembly by pressing the button is relatively high, and the user's experience is poor. In the embodiment, the user can trigger the sensor assembly 63 by slidingly touching the sensing portion 41. On the one hand, the user does not need to exert force on the sensing portion 41 to trigger the sensor assembly 63, so that the user's hand will not hinder the first shell 10 from unfolding relative to the second shell 20 after triggering the sensor assembly 63, and the user's unfolding experience is good. On the other hand, the user needs to continuously touch and slide on the surface of the sensing portion 41 to trigger the sensor assembly 63, thereby reducing the probability of accidental triggering of the user and improving the user's experience.

[0124] In addition, the electronic device 1000 in the embodiment further includes a support 70, which can be fixed between the first middle frame 11 and the first end portion 611 of the circuit board 61. In this way, under the condition that the thickness of the first shell 10 is constant, compared with the condition that the first end portion 611 of the circuit board 61 is directly fixed to the first middle frame 11, the distance between the first end portion 611 of the circuit board 61 and the first rear cover 12 is relatively large, and the thickness dimension of the sensing portion 41 of the button 40 needs to be set relatively thick to enable the sensing portion 41 to contact the sensor assembly 63 on the first end portion 611 of the circuit board 61, but this will cause the distance between the sensing surface 411 of the sensing portion 41 and the sensors 631 in the sensor assembly 63 to increase, affecting the sensing sensitivity of the sensors 631. In the embodiment, the support 70 is arranged to elevate the first end portion 611 of the circuit board 61, which can effectively shorten the distance between the first end portion 611 of the circuit board 61 and the first rear cover 12, thereby reducing the thickness of the sensing portion 41 of the button 40 and shortening the distance between the sensing surface 411 of the sensing portion 41 and the sensors 631, to improve the sensing sensitivity of the sensors 631 and improve the user's experience.

[0125] In addition, the first shell 10 in the embodiment can include a first rotating end 10a and a first operating end 10b arranged opposite to each other. The first rotating end 10a can be movably connected to the second shell 20. The first operating end 10b is directed to a second direction opposite to the first direction. The first communicating hole 125 of the first back cover 12 can be arranged on the first operating end 10b. In this way, the sensing part 41 of the button 40 can be located on the first operating end 10b. After the user performs the first action on the sensing part 41 and makes the first shell 10 unfold relative to the second shell 20 by a certain angle, the user can conveniently operate the first operating end 10b to make the first shell 10 continue to unfold relative to the second shell 20 to the open state. The user can operate in one go, which is beneficial to improve the user experience.

[0126] In addition, the electronic device 1000 in the embodiment further includes a foam 81, which can be fixed between the first end portion 611 of the circuit board 61 and the bracket 70. When the first back cover 12 is assembled and fixed with the button 40 and the first middle frame 11, the sensing part 41 of the button 40 can contact and press the sensor assembly 63 located on the first end portion 611 of the circuit board 61. At this time, the circuit board 61 can press the foam 81 under the action of the button 40, so that the foam 81 is in a compressed state. In this way, by pre-setting the foam 81 between the first end portion 611 of the circuit board 61 and the bracket 70, the problem that the sensing sensitivity of the sensor assembly 63 is affected due to the gap between the sensing part 41 of the button 40 and the sensor assembly 63 caused by the size error / assembly error and the like when the first back cover 12 is assembled and fixed with the button 40 and the first middle frame 11 can be avoided.

[0127] FIG. 24 is a structural schematic diagram of a partial structure of the electronic device 1000 shown in FIG. 1 at A in another embodiment. FIG. 25 is an exploded structural schematic diagram of the structure shown in FIG. 24 in some embodiments.

[0128] As shown in FIGS. 24 and 25, the structure of the electronic device 1000 at A in the embodiment is substantially the same as that shown in FIG. 4, and the same parts will not be described again. The differences between the two will be introduced as follows. The first back cover 12 can further include a light-transmitting region 126 and a non-light-transmitting region 127. The light-transmitting region 126 can be embedded in the non-light-transmitting region 127. The light-transmitting region 126 can be located on the first flat portion 12a and / or the first arc-shaped portion 12b of the first back cover 12.

[0129] Exemplarily, the circuit assembly 60 can further include a plurality of indicator lights 66. Each of the plurality of indicator lights 66 can be fixedly connected to the circuit board 61 and electrically connected to the circuit board 61. That is, each of the plurality of indicator lights 66 can be electrically connected to the control circuit. The plurality of indicator lights 66 can be arranged along the first direction Y. The indicator light 66 can be a light-emitting diode (LED).

[0130] FIG. 26 is a structural schematic diagram of the light guide 83 shown in FIG. 25 from another perspective. FIG. 27 is a cross-sectional structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of the structure shown in FIG. 24 along D-D.

[0131] As shown in FIGS. 24-26, the electronic device 1000 can further include a plurality of light guides 83. The number of the light guides 83 can be the same as the number of the indicator lights 66. The light guide 83 can include a top portion 831 and a frame portion 832. The frame portion 832 can be fixedly connected to the periphery of the top portion 831. The frame portion 832 and the top portion 831 can enclose an inner space 833 of the light guide 83. The outer peripheral side of the frame portion 832 can be provided with a non-light-transmitting layer (not shown), for example, by coating / pasting a non-light-transmitting material, etc. The frame portion 832 of each of the plurality of light guides 83 can be fixedly connected to the circuit board 61. Each of the plurality of indicator lights 66 can be located in the inner space 833 of the corresponding light guide 83. In this way, by arranging the plurality of light guides 83 to correspondingly surround the plurality of indicator lights 66, and by providing the non-light-transmitting layer on the outer peripheral side of the frame portion 832, the light sources of the plurality of indicator lights 66 will not interfere with each other when the indicator lights 66 are lit.

[0132] Exemplarily, the plurality of light guides 83 can be arranged opposite the light-transmitting region 126 of the first rear cover 12. When the indicator light 66 is lit, the light of the indicator light 66 can pass through the inner space 833 of the light guide 83, the top portion 831 of the light guide 83, and the light-transmitting region 126 of the first rear cover 12 in sequence. When the plurality of sensors 631 in the sensor assembly 63 are triggered along the first direction Y, the plurality of indicator lights 66 can be lit along the first direction Y. That is, the order in which the plurality of indicator lights 66 are lit can correspond to the order in which the plurality of sensors 631 are triggered. It should be understood that the sensor assembly 63 and the sensor 631 that are blocked by the first rear cover 12 are schematically shown by dashed lines in FIG. 24.

[0133] It can be understood that the electronic device 1000 in this embodiment further includes a plurality of indicator lights 66. The plurality of indicator lights 66 can be mounted in the first internal space 10c of the first housing 10 and electrically connected to the control circuit. The plurality of indicator lights 66 can be arranged in the first direction Y in sequence. The first rear cover 12 can include a light-transmitting region 126 and a non-light-transmitting region 127. The plurality of indicator lights 66 can be arranged opposite to the light-transmitting region 126. When the plurality of sensors 631 are triggered in the first direction Y, the plurality of indicator lights 66 can be lit in the first direction Y synchronously. In this way, the order in which the plurality of indicator lights 66 are lit can correspond to the order in which the plurality of sensors 631 are triggered, so that when the user triggers the sensors 631, the corresponding indicator lights 66 can be lit to give the user visual feedback, thereby improving the user experience.

[0134] FIG. 28 is a structural schematic view of the electronic device 1000 shown in FIG. 1 in another viewing angle in some embodiments. FIG. 29 is a structural schematic view of the electronic device 1000 shown in FIG. 28 in a pop-open state.

[0135] As shown in FIGS. 28 and 29, in some embodiments, the electronic device 1000 can further include an open-cover module 90. The open-cover module 90 can be electrically connected to the control circuit. The open-cover module 90 can drive the first housing 10 to open relative to the second housing 20 to a pop-open state under the control of the control circuit.

[0136] For example, the open-cover module 90 can include a first magnetic component 91, a second magnetic component 92, and a driving component 93. The first magnetic component 91 and the driving component 93 can be mounted in the first internal space (not shown in the figure) of the first housing 10. The second housing 20 can have a second internal space (not shown in the figure). The second magnetic component 92 can be mounted in the second internal space. When the electronic device 1000 is in a closed state, the projection of the first magnetic component 91 in the plane where the second magnetic component 92 is located can completely overlap the second magnetic component 92. At this time, the polarization direction of the first magnetic component 91 can be opposite to the polarization direction of the second magnetic component 92. An attractive force can be generated between the first magnetic component 91 and the second magnetic component 92, so that the first housing 10 and the second housing 20 can be kept closely attached in the closed state. It should be noted that in FIGS. 28 and 29, the first magnetic component 91, the second magnetic component 92, and the driving component 93 are shown by dashed lines, which are blocked by the first housing 10 and the second housing 20. In other embodiments, the driving component 93 can also be mounted in the second internal space.

[0137] Exemplarily, the first magnetic assembly 91 can include one or more first magnets 911. When the first magnetic assembly 91 includes a plurality of first magnets 911, the plurality of first magnets 911 can adopt a Halbach array. The first magnetic assembly 91 can further include a first mounting carrier 912. The first magnets 911 of the first magnetic assembly 91 can be fixed to the first mounting carrier 912. The first mounting carrier 912 can be movably connected to the first housing 10.

[0138] Exemplarily, the second magnetic assembly 92 can include one or more second magnets 921. The second magnets 921 in the second magnetic assembly 92 can be arranged in the same manner as the first magnets 911 in the first magnetic assembly 91, which will not be described herein again. The second magnetic assembly 92 can further include a second mounting carrier 922. The second magnets 921 of the second magnetic assembly 92 can be fixed to the second mounting carrier 922. The second mounting carrier 922 can be fixedly connected to the second housing 20.

[0139] FIG. 30 is a schematic diagram of the cover opening module 90 of the electronic device 1000 shown in FIG. 28 in a first state in some embodiments. FIG. 31 is a schematic diagram of the cover opening module 90 shown in FIG. 30 in a second state.

[0140] As shown in FIGS. 29-31, the driving assembly 93 can be fixedly connected to the first magnetic assembly 91. The driving assembly 93 can be configured to drive the first magnetic assembly 91 to move relative to the first housing 10. The driving assembly 93 can include a housing 931, a fixed terminal 932, a movable terminal 933, a connecting arm 934, a memory wire 935, an elastic member 936, and an electrical connecting member 937. The fixed terminal 932, the movable terminal 933, the memory wire 935, and the elastic member 936 can be accommodated inside the housing 931. The housing 931 can be fixedly connected to the first housing 10. The fixed terminal 932 can be fixedly connected to the housing 931. The movable terminal 933 can be movably connected to the housing 931. The memory wire 935 can be fixedly connected between the fixed terminal 932 and the movable terminal 933. The connecting arm 934 can be fixedly connected between the first mounting carrier 912 of the first magnetic assembly 91 and the movable terminal 933. A portion of the connecting arm 934 can be exposed relative to the housing 931. The elastic member 936 can be located on a side of the movable terminal 933 away from the fixed terminal 932 and abut between an inner side surface of the housing 931 and the movable terminal 933. The electrical connecting member 937 can be mounted to the housing 931 and electrically connected to the memory wire 935 and a control circuit.

[0141] Exemplarily, the cover opening module 90 can include a first state and a second state. When the cover opening module 90 is in the first state, the memory wire 935 is in a de-energized state. At this time, the distance between the moving terminal 933 and the fixed terminal 932 in the length extension direction of the memory wire 935 is a first distance. The length of the elastic member 936 is a first length. The first magnetic assembly 91 is located at a first position. The projection of the first magnetic assembly 91 on the plane where the second magnetic assembly 92 is located can completely cover the second magnetic assembly 92. The first magnetic assembly 91 and the second magnetic assembly 92 have a first acting force therebetween, and the first acting force is an attractive force. When the driving assembly 93 is in the second state, the memory wire 935 is in an energized state and is in a contracted state. At this time, the distance between the moving terminal 933 and the fixed terminal 932 in the length extension direction of the memory wire 935 is a second distance. The second distance can be less than the first distance. The length of the elastic member 936 is a second length. The second length can be greater than the first length. The first magnetic assembly 91 is located at a second position. The projection of the first magnetic assembly 91 on the plane where the second magnetic assembly 92 is located only covers part of the second magnetic assembly 92. That is, the first magnetic assembly 91 and the second magnetic assembly 92 are misaligned. At this time, the first magnetic assembly 91 and the second magnetic assembly 92 have a second acting force therebetween. The second acting force can be less than the first acting force. The second acting force can be an attractive force or a repulsive force. When the second acting force is a repulsive force, it is considered that the second acting force is negative.

[0142] Exemplarily, when the electronic device 1000 is in the closed state and the sensor assembly 63 (please refer to FIG. 24) detects the first action, the control circuit can input a current to the memory wire 935 to switch the cover opening module 90 from the first state to the second state. At this time, the memory wire 935 is contracted after being powered on to pull the moving terminal 933 to move in the direction of approaching the fixed terminal 932. The moving terminal 933 can pull the connecting arm 934 and the first magnetic assembly 91 to move in the direction of approaching the fixed terminal 932 from the first position to the second position, so that the first magnetic assembly 91 and the second magnetic assembly 92 are staggered with each other to reduce the acting force between the first magnetic assembly 91 and the second magnetic assembly 92, thereby enabling the first shell 10 to be automatically opened to the pop-open state relative to the second shell 20. Subsequently, the control circuit can stop inputting the current to the memory wire 935. At this time, the moving terminal 933 can move in the direction of moving away from the fixed terminal 932 under the action of the elastic member 936, so that the distance between the moving terminal 933 and the fixed terminal 932 can return to the first distance from the second distance. The first magnetic assembly 91 can move in the direction of moving away from the fixed terminal 932 under the action of the moving terminal 933 to return to the first position. At this time, since the electronic device is in the pop-open state, even if the first magnetic assembly 91 returns to the first position, the acting force between the first magnetic assembly 91 and the second magnetic assembly 92 is insufficient to enable the first shell 10 to be folded to the closed state relative to the second shell 20. That is, after the first shell 10 is unfolded relative to the second shell 20, even if the first magnetic assembly 91 returns to the first position, it will not affect the current state of the electronic device.

[0143] In other embodiments, the driving assembly 93 can further not include the shell 931. The fixed terminal 932 and the moving terminal 933 can be connected to the first middle frame and / or the first back cover.

[0144] FIG. 32 is a schematic diagram of the cover opening module 90 shown in FIG. 3 in the first state in other embodiments. FIG. 33 is a schematic diagram of the cover opening module 90 shown in FIG. 32 in the second state.

[0145] As shown in FIGS. 32 and 33, in some other embodiments, the driving assembly 93 can further not include the shell 931, the fixed terminal 932, the moving terminal 933, the memory wire 935, the elastic member 936, and the electrical connector 937 (please refer to FIG. 30). The driving assembly 93 can further include a motor 938, a driving gear 939, and a rack 940. The motor 938 can be installed in the first inner space c and electrically connected to the control circuit. The driving gear 939 can be installed on the motor 938. The motor 938 can drive the driving gear 939 to rotate when powered. The rack 940 can be slidably connected to the first shell 10. The connecting arm 934 can be fixedly connected between the rack 940 and the first magnetic assembly 91. The rack 940 can be engaged with the driving gear 939.

[0146] For example, when the electronic device 1000 is in the closed state and the sensor assembly 63 (please refer to FIG. 24) detects the first motion, the control circuit can input a first current to the motor 938 to switch the cover opening module 90 from the first state to the second state. At this time, the motor 938 can drive the driving gear 939 to rotate in a first rotation direction when powered by the first current. The driving gear 939 can drive the rack 940 to slide relative to the first shell 10, thereby driving the first magnetic assembly 91 to move from the first position to the second position and to be misaligned with the second magnetic assembly 92, so as to reduce the acting force between the first magnetic assembly 91 and the second magnetic assembly 92, and thus the first shell 10 can be automatically opened to the pop-open state relative to the second shell 20. Subsequently, the control circuit can input a second current to the motor 938. The second current is opposite in direction to the first current. At this time, the motor 938 can drive the driving gear 939 to rotate in a second rotation direction when powered by the second current. The second rotation direction is opposite to the first rotation direction. The driving gear 939 can drive the rack 940 to slide relative to the first shell 10, thereby driving the first magnetic assembly 91 to move from the second position back to the first position.

[0147] FIG. 34 is a flowchart of a control method for automatically opening the electronic device 1000 according to an embodiment of the present application. It should be understood that the control method shown in FIG. 34 can be applied to the electronic device 1000 described above.

[0148] As shown in FIGS. 1, 21, and 34, the control method for automatically opening the electronic device 1000 can include, but is not limited to, the following steps: S110-S120.

[0149] S110: receiving a detection signal of the sensor assembly 63 when the electronic device 1000 is in the closed state.

[0150] Exemplarily, the sensor assembly 63 of the electronic device 1000 can receive the action of the user on the sensing portion 41 of the button 40 and generate a detection signal. The sensor assembly 63 can deliver the detection signal to the control circuit. Among them, the user can perform gesture actions such as pressing, sliding, etc. on the sensing portion 41 to trigger the sensor assembly 63.

[0151] S120: When the detection signal meets the preset condition, control the first shell 10 to unfold relative to the second shell 20.

[0152] Exemplarily, the control circuit can judge the received detection signal. When the detection signal meets the preset condition, the control circuit can control the first shell 10 to open relative to the second shell 20. When the detection signal does not meet the preset condition, the control circuit can filter the detection signal. At this time, the electronic device 1000 can still be in a closed state.

[0153] Exemplarily, when the user touches the sensing surface 411 of the sensing portion 41 and acts on the sensing surface 411, the user can trigger a plurality of sensors 631 in turn as the user's action, and the plurality of sensors 631 can deliver corresponding sub-signals to the processor 62 in turn according to the order triggered by the user. Among them, the first sensor 631a can deliver the first sub-information to the processor 62, the second sensor 631b can deliver the second sub-information to the processor 62, and so on. Among them, a plurality of sub-signals can jointly constitute the detection signal of the sensor assembly 63. The control circuit can determine whether the plurality of sub-signals is a continuous linear report point according to the order of acquiring the plurality of sub-signals constituting the detection signal and the positions of the plurality of sensors 631 corresponding to the plurality of sub-signals. When the plurality of sub-signals in the detection signal is a continuous linear report point, it is considered that the detection signal meets the preset condition. Among them, the plurality of sub-signals being a continuous linear report point can be a plurality of sub-signals corresponding to a plurality of sensors 631 arranged continuously. That is, when the detection signal is a plurality of sub-signals corresponding to a plurality of sensors 631 arranged continuously, it is considered that the detection signal meets the preset condition. Exemplarily, the detection signal can include a plurality of sub-signals corresponding to at least three sensors 631 arranged continuously.

[0154] Exemplarily, the sensor assembly 63 can include n sensors 631. When the user triggers 60n or more sensors 631 (60n is not an integer, and the value is taken one more bit) in the sensor assembly 63, and the plurality of sub-signals formed by the triggered plurality of sensors 631 are continuous linear report points, it can still be considered that the detection signal meets the preset condition. For example, when the sensor assembly 63 includes 5 sensors 631, at least 3 sensors 631 need to be triggered.

[0155] In other embodiments, the preset condition can also vary according to the type of the sensor 631 in the sensor assembly 63.

[0156] It should be noted that the features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other without conflict, and any combination of the features in different embodiments is within the protection scope of the present application, that is, the above-described multiple embodiments can also be combined as needed.
