The side wall of the shell is provided with a first positioning step extending in a first direction, and the first direction is the arrangement direction of the interface ring unit. The limiting fold is formed with a first wrinkle portion for abutting and pressing cooperation with the first positioning step. And / or, the side wall of the shell is provided with a second positioning step extending in a second direction, and the second direction is perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the interface ring unit.

[0006] In a second aspect, the embodiments of the present application provide a shell of an electronic device. The shell has at least two interfaces, an interface ring of the electronic device includes at least two interface ring units, a socket is defined in each interface ring unit for plugging a plug, and the interfaces are used for mounting the interface ring units. Each interface ring unit has two limiting flanges oppositely arranged along an axial direction of the interface ring unit, and the two limiting flanges are used for being clamped on both sides of a side wall of a corresponding interface of the shell. The side wall of the shell is provided with a first positioning step extending along a first direction, the first direction is the arrangement direction of the interface ring units, and the first positioning step is used for pressing the limiting flanges; and / or, the side wall of the shell is provided with a second positioning step extending along a second direction, the second direction is perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the interface ring units, and the second positioning step is used for pressing the limiting flanges.

[0009] The technical solutions adopted by the embodiments of the present application can achieve the following beneficial effects:

[0010] In the interface assembly disclosed in the embodiments of the present application, each interface ring unit is connected to another interface ring unit through the connecting part, so that the interface ring has an integrated structure, and thus any interface ring unit can serve as the positioning structure of the interface ring unit connected thereto.

In addition, since the positioning part is arranged on the connecting part, the connecting part will not be directly subjected to the extrusion force or the pulling force during the plug-in and plug-out of the plug, so that the internal force of the region of the connecting part corresponding to the positioning part is small, the deformation range of the positioning part caused by the force is small, the risk of fatigue damage of the positioning part is small, and the risk of fatigue damage of the interface ring unit is indirectly reduced.

[0012] Compared with the related art, the interface ring of the embodiment of the application can play a restraining effect on the interface ring unit of the plug to share the internal force, effectively reduce the risk of fatigue damage of the interface ring unit, and thus avoid the situation of interface ring out of the device and damage of the device interface.

[0027] In order to make the purposes, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical solutions of the present application will be described below in connection with specific embodiments and corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0028] In order to facilitate the understanding of the interface ring, the shell, the electronic device and the endoscope system provided by the embodiments of the present application, the related technologies will be introduced first in connection with application scenarios.

[0029] In the use process of the endoscope system of the related technology with the interactive device, the interface ring is often found to be damaged, and even appears to be detached from the device interface due to breakage. After research, the inventors found that the above problems are mainly caused by the fact that the shell cannot effectively position the interface ring.

[0030] To expand, the interface ring is usually limited in position with the shell in the axial direction at the interface of the shell to realize the positioning assembly of the two, and because the interface needs to be frequently plugged with the plug, the interface ring will be squeezed or pulled, which causes fatigue damage in the local area, especially the part directly pressed in contact with the plug. Over a long period of time, the interface ring will be damaged, and even deformed, and the positioning and cooperation reliability of the part of the corresponding interface of the interface ring and the shell is reduced, which may be detached from the interface.

[0031] In view of this, some embodiments of the present application provide an interface assembly of an electronic device. The electronic device can be a host, an all-in-one machine, a display, etc. for an endoscope, and of course is not limited to the field of endoscope technology.

[0032] Please refer to FIGS. 1-12, the interface assembly disclosed by some embodiments of the present application includes a shell 100 and an interface ring 200, wherein: the shell 100 has at least two interfaces 110a, the interface ring 200 includes at least two interface ring units 210, the interface ring units 210 are installed in the interfaces 110a one by one, and the interface ring units 210 are defined with a plug hole 210a for inserting the plug 20.

[0033] It should be understood that the shell 100 as the basic structure can provide a mounting basis for the interface ring 200. The shell 100 of the embodiments of the present application can be the middle frame of the electronic device 10 (for reference to FIGS. 1, 2 and 4), of course, it can also be the bottom cover or the integrated shell structure of the electronic device 10, or the shell 100 of the interface assembly is only a part of the shell structure corresponding to the electronic device 10, for example, it is a detachable attached shell corresponding to the interface area of the electronic device 10.

[0034] The interface 110a is used to connect the plug 20. In the embodiment of the present application, the interface ring 200 is installed in the area of the interface 110a of the shell 100, and the interface ring unit 210 is arranged in the interface 110a and connected to the plug 20 through the insertion hole 210a in the interface ring unit 210. The interface ring 200 is positioned and installed in the shell 100. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific matching relationship between the two. For example, the interface ring unit 210 can be positioned and assembled with the side wall 110 of the shell 100 through clamping, bonding or other methods.

[0035] At the same time, the interface ring 200 of the embodiment of the present application also includes the connecting part 220, and the interface ring unit 210 is connected to another interface ring unit 210 through the connecting part 220, so that the interface ring 200 is a one-piece structure.

[0036] In the related art, for the electronic device with multiple interfaces, a separate interface ring is usually arranged in each interface, that is, the interface rings in each interface are independent of each other. Unlike this, the interface ring 200 of the embodiment of the present application is a one-piece structure, and any interface ring unit 210 is connected to another interface ring unit 210 through the connecting part 220, and the interface ring unit 210 itself is positioned and matched with the shell 100. Therefore, any interface ring unit 210 can serve as the positioning structure of the interface ring unit 210 connected thereto.

[0037] In the specific operation and plugging process, the corresponding interface ring unit 210 will be deformed due to extrusion or pulling, and the internal force will be transmitted to another interface ring unit 210 connected thereto through the connecting part 220. Since the other interface ring unit 210 connected thereto is positioned and matched with the shell 100, the positioning structure of the interface ring 200 on the shell 100 is increased, which plays a restraining effect and shares the internal force of the interface ring unit 210 of the plug 20. Specifically, it can be understood that the extrusion force or pulling force of the interface ring unit 210 is reduced, thereby reducing the risk of fatigue damage of the interface ring unit 210.

[0038] The interface ring 200 of the embodiment of the present application can have various configurations. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the interface ring unit 210 and the connecting part 220 are distributed on the same straight line. In another embodiment, the interface ring unit 210 can be connected to another interface ring unit 210 spaced apart through a longer connecting part 220. For example, the interface ring unit 210 on the left side in FIG. 6 is directly connected to the interface ring unit 210 on the right side through the connecting part 220. Further, on this basis, the interface ring unit 210 in the middle can be connected to only one interface ring unit 210 on its two sides.

[0039] The interface ring 200 of the embodiment of the present application further comprises a positioning portion 230, which is arranged on the connecting portion 220 and is embedded with the shell 100 to realize positioning cooperation. As shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 11, the positioning portion 230 is a protrusion on the connecting portion 220, and a positioning hole 110b is arranged on the side wall 110 of the shell 100, and the protrusion and the positioning hole 110b can realize positioning cooperation. Of course, the positioning portion 230 can also have other structural forms, for example, a recess structure.

[0040] It should be understood that the positioning portion 230 is actually also a positioning structure on the interface ring 200 for positioning cooperation with the shell 100, which is equivalent to adding a positioning point for the interface ring unit 210 of the plug 20, and by playing a restraining effect, the internal force borne by the interface ring unit 210 of the plug 20 is shared, thereby further reducing the risk of fatigue damage of the interface ring unit 210.

[0041] As described above, when one interface ring unit 210 performs the plug-in and plug-out operation of the plug 20, the internal force borne thereby is transmitted to the other interface ring unit 210 connected through the connecting portion 220, and the connecting portion 220 as a connecting structure between the two interface ring units 210 will not be directly subjected to the extrusion force or the pulling force directly applied when the plug 20 is plugged in or out, so the internal force of the region of the connecting portion 220 corresponding to the positioning portion 230 is smaller, and the deformation amplitude of the positioning portion 230 caused by the force is smaller, and the risk of fatigue damage is smaller.

[0042] In addition, since the interface ring units 210 on both sides of the connecting portion 220 will be subjected to the operation of plugging in and plugging out the plug 20, the force (extrusion or pulling) borne by the positioning portion 230 on both sides, i.e., the deformation frequency of the corresponding interface ring units 210 on both sides is more balanced, i.e., it will not be deformed only on one side, which further reduces the risk of damage. Since the positioning portion 230 as a positioning structure can share the internal force borne by the interface ring unit 210 during the plugging operation, the risk of damage of the positioning portion 230 is reduced, which indirectly reduces the risk of fatigue damage of the interface ring unit 210.

[0043] Compared with the related art, the interface ring 200 of the embodiment of the present application based on the integrated structure and the positioning portion 230 can play a restraining effect to share the internal force of the interface ring unit 210 of the plug 20, effectively reduce the risk of fatigue damage of the interface ring unit 210, thereby avoiding the situation that the interface ring 200 is pulled out and the device at the equipment interface 110a is damaged.

[0044] In some embodiments, the electronic device 10 has a device to press and fix the interface ring 200 on the sidewall 110 of the shell 100, so as to improve the installation reliability of the interface ring 200. For example, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the female seat 300 presses and fixes the interface ring 200 on the sidewall 110 of the shell 100; generally, the female seat 300 includes a mounting bracket for fixing the body of the female seat 300, and the mounting bracket can be used to press and fix the interface ring 200. It should be understood that, by pressing and fixing the interface ring 200 on the sidewall 110 of the shell 100 through the related device, the positioning and installation reliability of the interface ring 200 can be improved, so that the restraining effect of the interface ring unit 210 on other interface ring units 210 can also be improved, thereby facilitating the sharing of the internal force.

[0045] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 7, the distance between the positioning part 230 and the interface ring units 210 at both ends of the corresponding connecting part 220 is equal. As described above, since the interface ring units 210 on both sides of the connecting part 220 will be operated to plug and unplug the plug 20, the positioning part 230 will be stressed on both sides. In this example, the distance between the positioning part 230 and the interface ring units 210 at both ends of the corresponding connecting part 220 is set to be equal, and this distance will affect the amount of internal force shared by the positioning part 230. Compared with the case where the distances on both sides are different and the internal forces on both sides are different, the stress on both sides of the positioning part 230 can be more balanced to a certain extent, thereby reducing the risk of damage to the positioning part 230. It should be understood that the reduction of the risk of damage to the positioning part 230 can actually indirectly reduce the risk of damage to the interface ring unit 210.

[0046] In some embodiments, the distance between the interface ring unit 210 and the two positioning parts 230 distributed relatively around the interface ring unit 210 is equal. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the distance between the interface ring unit 210 in the middle and the positioning parts 230 on the left and right sides is equal. In this example, since the positioning parts 230 around the interface ring unit 210 all play a role in sharing the internal force, that is, the sharing stress capability of the positioning part 230 will affect the deformation amplitude of the corresponding side of the interface ring unit 210, and in this layout, the deformation amplitudes of the opposite sides of the interface ring unit 210 corresponding to the positioning part 230 can be consistent, thereby reducing the risk of damage by avoiding stress concentration.

[0047] In some embodiments, the connecting portions 220 are distributed along the arrangement path of the interface ring units 210 at both ends, and the positioning portions 230 are arranged closer to the interface ring units 210 on the side with more interface ring units 210 in the first direction, which is the arrangement direction of the interface ring units 210. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, the arrangement path O of the interface ring units 210 is a straight path, and the connecting portions 220 are also distributed along the straight path. In this example, the positioning portion 230 on the left side is arranged closer to the interface ring units 210 on the right side because there is one interface ring unit 210 on the left side and three interface ring units 210 on the right side.

[0048] It should be noted that, in order to facilitate the layout and orientation relationship between structures, a spatial coordinate system is constructed in some drawings of the embodiments of the present application, but this does not limit the layout and orientation relationship of the structures in the embodiments of the present application. For example, the first direction of the arrangement of the interface ring units 210 in the above embodiments is distributed along the X-axis direction in FIG. 8.

[0049] It should be particularly pointed out that the first direction of the embodiments of the present application is used to represent the direction of the arrangement path of the interface ring units 210, but the first direction is not limited to only one direction. For example, if the interface ring units 210 are arranged in a curved path, the first direction can represent multiple directions, i.e., the directions before and after the bending can be different.

[0050] It can be understood that, as described above, during the plugging operation of the plug 20 in the interface ring units 210, the internal force received by the corresponding interface ring units 210 can be shared by other interface ring units 210 connected by the connecting portions 220. Therefore, if the number of other interface ring units 210 distributed on both sides of the interface ring units 210 in the first direction is different, the stress on both sides will be different, and the side with greater internal force is more likely to be damaged due to stress concentration.

[0051] In this example, the position of the positioning portion 230 on the connecting portion 220 is adjusted to address the above problem. Based on the structure layout of this example, if the number of other interface ring units 210 distributed on both sides of the interface ring units 210 in the first direction is different, the positioning portion 230 on the side with fewer other interface ring units 210 will be closer to the interface ring unit 210, and the positioning portion 230 on the side with more other interface ring units 210 will be farther away from the interface ring unit 210. For example, referring to the second interface ring unit 210 on the left side in FIG. 8, the distance between the positioning portion 230 on the left side and the interface ring unit 210 is less than the distance between the positioning portion 230 on the right side and the interface ring unit 210. The vertical dashed line in FIG. 8 represents the median line of the connecting portion 220, which can be used to represent the position characteristics of the corresponding positioning portion 230.

[0052] Thus, for the interface ring unit 210 which is subjected to plugging operation, on the side where fewer other interface ring units 210 are distributed in the first direction, the positioning portion 230 is located at a shorter distance from the interface ring unit 210, and the interface ring unit 210 (i.e. the interface ring unit 210 subjected to plugging) generates a smaller degree of deformation (i.e. the effect of extrusion or pulling is smaller) to transmit the internal force to the positioning portion 230 on the side to realize the sharing of internal force, and it can be seen that the response speed and sensitivity of the force sharing of the positioning portion 230 on the side with shorter distance are higher, thereby realizing the compensation of the smaller proportion of force sharing caused by the smaller number of other interface ring units 210 on the side, so as to compensate for the force difference between the two sides of the interface ring unit 210 during the plugging operation, and to reduce the risk of damage by making the force distribution on the two sides more balanced.

[0053] The embodiments of the present application do not limit the specific arrangement path of the interface ring unit 210 in the interface ring 200, and in addition to the manner of arranging the interface ring unit 210 and the connecting portion 220 along a straight path in the above embodiments, the interface ring unit 210 and the connecting portion 220 can also be arranged along a curved path or a ring-shaped path.

[0054] In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the connecting portion 220 is distributed on the arrangement path of the interface ring unit 210 at both ends, and the interface between the connecting portion 220 and the interface ring unit 210 forms an interface position 200a, and along the second direction, the two ends of the positioning portion 230 correspond to the interface positions 200a at both ends of the connecting portion 220, and the second direction is perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the interface ring unit 210. It can be understood that in the corresponding drawings, the second direction is distributed along the Y-axis direction. In FIG. 7, the vertical dashed line can represent the corresponding relationship between the end of the positioning portion 230 and the interface position 200a, for reference.

[0055] It is worth mentioning that the interface position 200a between the connecting portion 220 and the interface ring unit 210 has a structural shape mutation, and during the process of transmitting the internal force between the interface ring units 210 through the connecting portion 220 to make the positioning portion 230 and the connected interface ring unit 210 share, the interface position 200a is prone to stress concentration and has a high risk of damage. For this, in this example, based on the above structural layout, during the process of transmitting the internal force between the interface ring units 210 through the connecting portion 220 to make the positioning portion 230 and the connected interface ring unit 210 share, in the extension direction of the connecting portion 220 (which can be referred to as the first direction), a larger proportion of internal force can be shared by the abutting contact between the positioning portion 230 and the shell 100 to avoid the interface position 200a from being extruded or pulled to a large extent, which reduces the distribution of internal force at the interface position 200a, thereby significantly reducing the damage risk of the interface position 200a, i.e. optimizing the strength and life of the interface ring 200.

[0056] In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the interface ring unit 210 has a limiting folded edge 211 for clamping cooperation with the shell 100, the connecting portion 220 is connected with the limiting folded edge 211, and the joint portion 200a is correspondingly formed between the limiting folded edge 211 and the connecting portion 220. Of course, in another embodiment, the connecting portion 220 can be connected with the main body portion of the interface ring unit 210, and the joint portion 200a is formed between the main body portion of the interface ring unit 210 and the connecting portion 220.

[0057] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 7, the connecting portion 220 is distributed on the arrangement path of the interface ring unit 210 at both ends, and the width L1 of the connecting portion 220 satisfies: 0.3L2≤L1≤1.2L2, wherein L2 is the diameter of the jack 210a.

[0058] It should be understood that the connecting portion 220 is a connecting structure between two adjacent interface rings 200, and no matter which interface ring unit 210 performs the plug 20 insertion and extraction operation, the connecting portion 220 will be pulled, that is, internal force will be distributed in the connecting portion 220. In this example, the lower limit value of L1 is set to 0.3L2, which can ensure that the connecting portion 220 has certain strength performance to bear the force between the two interface ring units 210. In addition, during the insertion and extraction of the plug 20 in the jack 210a, the interface ring unit 210 is stressed on the circumferential inner wall of the corresponding jack 210a, and if the width L1 of the connecting portion 220 is too small, the stress at the position far from the connecting portion 220 (for example, the highest and lowest quadrant points of the jack 210a distributed in the second direction in FIG. 7) will be difficult to transmit to the connecting portion 220, and then the effect of sharing internal force by the connecting portion 220 will be weakened, and the interface ring unit 210 subjected to excessive stress is prone to be damaged. Therefore, in this example, L1 is set to be greater than or equal to 0.3L2, which can to some extent avoid that the proportion of the connecting portion 220 corresponding to the jack 210a in the first direction is too small, and the stress of the interface ring unit 210 can be more easily transmitted to the connecting portion 220, and the internal force can be transmitted to other interface ring units 210 by the connecting portion 220 to achieve sharing.

[0059] At the same time, the upper limit value of L1 is set to 1.2L2 in this example, and in combination with the feature that the connecting portion 220 is distributed on the arrangement path of the interface ring unit 210, the width of the connecting portion 220 can be prevented from exceeding the interface ring unit 210, so as to increase the overall width size of the interface ring unit 210, and thus the requirement of the interface ring 200 on the installation environment can be reduced. The size of L1 exceeding 0.2L2 of L2 can correspond to the size of the solid portion of the interface ring unit 210 around the jack 210a, for example, the size of the limiting folded edge 211.

[0060] In some embodiments, the positioning portion 230 is in interference fit with the shell 100.

[0061] It should be understood that the shell 100 and the interface ring 200 are two independent components, and due to machining errors or tolerances, when the interface ring 200 is installed in place on the shell 100, the adjacent two interface ring units 210 in the two interfaces 110a can be relatively loose or too tight, that is, the spacing of the two interface ring units 210 is greater than or less than the spacing of the two interfaces 110a, the former will cause a large gap of the interface ring 200 on the shell 100, and a large misalignment sliding will inevitably exist during plugging, which is easy to be damaged, and the latter will have a large internal force inside due to being too tight, which is easy to be damaged by fatigue for a long time.

[0062] In this example, since the positioning part 230 is in interference fit with the shell 100, there is no gap between the positioning part 230 and the shell 100, and in the case that the spacing of the adjacent two interface ring units 210 is greater than the spacing of the two interfaces 110a, the interface ring 200 as a whole can play a positioning role through the positioning part 230, and the misalignment amplitude during plugging of the interface ring unit 210 is reduced to a certain extent, thereby reducing the risk of damage.

[0063] In the case that the spacing of the adjacent two interface ring units 210 is less than the spacing of the two interfaces 110a, since the positioning part 230 is between the two interface ring units 210, the positioning part 230 can be installed first and then the interface ring unit 210 is installed during installation. In this way, the distance between the interface ring unit 210 and the positioning part 230 is less than the distance between the two interface ring units 210, and the distance between the structures is proportional to the tension degree, so based on the structure layout of this example, the tension degree of the tension state formed between the interface ring unit 210 and the positioning part 230 is weakened, which can reduce the internal force of the interface ring unit 210, thereby reducing the risk of fatigue damage.

[0064] In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 6-8, the positioning part 230 is a protrusion, and the positioning part 230 is arranged in extension along a first direction, which is the arrangement direction of the interface ring unit 210. It can be understood that in this structure layout, the extension size of the positioning part 230 in the first direction is larger, so it has greater strength in the first direction, which can improve its damage resistance and reduce the risk of damage, thereby being more beneficial to continuously share the internal force of the interface ring unit 210 and playing a restraining effect. In fact, the positioning part 230 can serve as a reinforcing structure of the interface ring 200 to improve the strength of the interface ring 200 as a whole.

[0065] In another embodiment, the positioning portion 230 is a protrusion, and the positioning portion 230 is arranged along a first direction, which is the arrangement direction of the interface ring units 210, and a second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. In this example, the positioning portion 230 can provide a certain positioning compensation effect in the first direction, that is, the ability to restrain the deformation of the interface ring unit 210 in the first direction, and at the same time, the positioning portion 230 mainly strengthens the strength in the second direction, and can also improve the overall strength of the interface ring 200.

[0066] In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 6, 9 and 10, the interface ring unit 210 has two limiting folds 211 arranged axially opposite to each other, and the two limiting folds 211 are clamped on both sides of the side wall 110 of the shell 100 corresponding to the interface 110a; the shell 100 has a relief inclined surface 111 provided on the side wall 110 and matched with the cooperation area of the limiting fold 211, at least one side of the interface 110a is provided with the relief inclined surface 111 along the second direction, and the relief inclined surface 111 and the corresponding limiting fold 211 define a relief gap 10a. The second direction is perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the interface ring unit 210. For example, in FIG. 9, the surface of the right side wall 110 of the shell 100 is provided with the relief inclined surface 111 on both upper and lower sides in the second direction, and the surface of the left side wall 110 of the shell 100 is provided with the relief inclined surface 111 on the lower side in the second direction. In FIG. 9, the inclined feature of the relief inclined surface 111 can be represented by a vertical dashed line.

[0067] It can be understood that the interface ring unit 210 is axially limited and matched with the side wall 110 of the shell 100 through the limiting fold 211, so as to realize the positioning and installation of the interface ring unit 210 on the shell 100. In this example, during the process of inserting and pulling out the plug 20 by the interface ring unit 210, the limiting fold 211 can be stressed in the axial direction, and the relief gap 10a can provide a deformation allowance for the limiting fold 211 to avoid damage caused by excessive pressure.

[0068] In addition, considering that the interface ring units 210 are restrained by the connecting portion 220, if an axial force is generated when one interface ring unit 210 shares the internal force with another interface ring unit 210, the relief gap 10a of this example can also provide relief to reduce the stress of the limiting fold 211 in the axial direction caused by the pressure of the side wall 110 of the shell 100, thereby reducing the risk of damage.

[0069] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 6, FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, the interface ring unit 210 has two limiting flanges 211 arranged axially opposite along the interface ring unit 210, and the two limiting flanges 211 are respectively clamped on the side wall 110 of the housing 100 corresponding to the interface 110a; the side wall 110 of the housing 100 is provided with a first positioning step 112 extending in a first direction, and the corresponding limiting flange 211 is in abutment with the first positioning step 112 to form a first wrinkle part (not shown in the figure, please refer to the area marked by the dashed box C in FIG. 12), and the first direction is the arrangement direction of the interface ring unit 210.

[0070] It should be understood that, in this layout, the first wrinkle part and the first positioning step 112 form a mutual blocking cooperation relationship in a second direction perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the interface ring unit 210, and in the process of inserting and pulling out the plug 20 by the interface ring unit 210, the cooperation of the first positioning step 112 and the first wrinkle part can prevent the interface ring unit 210 from moving excessively in the second direction, thereby achieving a better positioning and installation effect of the interface ring unit 210, and in particular preventing it from falling out.

[0071] In addition, when the interface ring unit 210 with the first wrinkle part is used as a positioning and restraining structure for another interface ring unit 210 (which performs the plug 20 insertion and pulling out operation), the first wrinkle part can improve the positioning and installation effect of the corresponding interface ring unit 210, which indirectly optimizes the positioning and restraining effect of the interface ring unit 210 for the plug 20 insertion and pulling out operation.

[0072] In further embodiments, as shown in FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, the side surface of the first positioning step 112 is directed towards the inside of the corresponding interface ring unit 210, so that the blocking effect of the first positioning step 112 and the first wrinkle part is directed towards the inside of the interface ring unit 210, and the positioning effect on the entire interface ring unit 210 is better.

[0073] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 6, FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, the interface ring unit 210 has two limiting flanges 211 arranged axially opposite along the interface ring unit 210, and the two limiting flanges 211 are respectively clamped on the side wall 110 of the housing 100 corresponding to the interface 110a; the side wall 110 of the housing 100 is provided with a second positioning step 113 extending in a second direction, and the corresponding limiting flange 211 is in abutment with the second positioning step 113 to form a second wrinkle part (not shown in the figure, please refer to the area marked by the dashed box D in FIG. 12), and the second direction is perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the interface ring unit 210.

[0074] It should be understood that, under such a layout, the second fold part and the second positioning step 113 form a mutual hindering cooperation relationship in the first direction, and during the plugging and unplugging of the plug 20 by the interface ring unit 210, the cooperation of the second positioning step 113 and the second fold part can prevent the interface ring unit 210 from being excessively dislocated in the first direction, thereby achieving a better positioning and installation effect on the interface ring unit 210, and in particular, preventing the interface ring unit 210 from being pulled out.

[0075] In addition, when the interface ring unit 210 with the second fold part serves as a positioning and restraining structure for another interface ring unit 210 (which performs the plugging and unplugging operation of the plug 20), the second fold part can improve the positioning and installation effect of the corresponding interface ring unit 210, thereby indirectly optimizing the positioning and restraining effect of the interface ring unit 210 during the plugging and unplugging operation.

[0076] In some embodiments, the side wall 110 of the shell 100 is provided with a third positioning step extending in a second direction, and the corresponding connecting part 220 is in abutment with the third positioning step to form a third fold part, and the second direction is perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the interface ring unit 210. Similarly, based on such a layout, the third fold part and the third positioning step form a mutual hindering cooperation relationship in the first direction, and during the plugging and unplugging of the plug 20 by the interface ring unit 210, the cooperation of the third positioning step and the third fold part can prevent the connecting part 220 from being dislocated in the first direction, thereby preventing the connected interface ring unit 210 from being dislocated in the first direction, achieving a better positioning and installation effect on the interface ring unit 210, and in particular, preventing the interface ring unit 210 from being pulled out.

[0077] In order to facilitate the formation of the above-mentioned fold structure (at least one of the first fold part, the second fold part, and the third fold part) on the interface ring 200, the device inside the electronic device 10 can be used to abut against the interface ring 200 to ensure the formation. For example, the fold structure can be formed by abutting against the interface ring 200 by the female seat 300.

[0078] In some embodiments, in the interface ring 200, adjacent interface ring units 210 are connected to each other. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the interface ring 200 includes three interface ring units 210 connected in sequence.

[0079] It should be understood that the number of other interface ring units 210 around the interface ring unit 210 is not limited in the embodiments of the present application, and the interface ring unit 210 can be connected with part of the other interface ring units 210 around it, so as to meet the structural requirements of the integrated interface ring 200. For example, the interface ring 200 in FIG. 6 can be modified such that the interface ring units 210 on the left are connected only with the interface ring units 210 on the right, and the interface ring units 210 in the middle are connected only with the interface ring units 210 on the right. In this way, the connection strength between the interface ring units 210 on the left and the interface ring units 210 in the middle is low. The structural layout of this example can avoid the situation that the interface ring 200 has a weak area between adjacent interface ring units 210, thereby improving the overall strength of the interface ring 200.

[0080] The embodiments of the present application do not limit the specific configuration of the interface ring unit 210. For example, the interface ring unit 210 can be an open ring structure.

[0081] In another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the interface ring unit 210 is a closed ring structure, so as to improve the strength of the interface ring unit 210, thereby improving the strength of the entire interface ring 200. In addition, it should be noted that the interface ring unit 210 in the embodiments of the present application can act as a positioning restraint structure of the connected interface ring units 210. When the interface ring unit 210 is a closed ring structure, it can be in contact with the shell 100 in the circumferential direction, and the parts of the interface ring unit 210 can support each other, thereby optimizing the positioning and fitting relationship with the shell 100, so as to share the internal force.

[0082] Referring to FIGS. 1-12, some embodiments of the present application provide an electronic device 10 comprising the interface assembly mentioned in any of the foregoing schemes. Thus, the electronic device 10 in the embodiments of the present application has the beneficial effects of the foregoing interface assembly, which will not be described again. The electronic device 10 can be used for a main machine of an endoscope, an all-in-one machine, a display, etc., and of course can be a device in other fields where the plug 20 and the interface 110a are plugged and unplugged.

[0083] Referring to FIGS. 1-12, some embodiments of the present application provide an endoscope system comprising an endoscope (only the plug 20 of the endoscope is shown) and the electronic device 10 of the foregoing scheme, and the endoscope can be connected to the interface 110a of the electronic device 10 through the plug 20. Thus, the endoscope system in the embodiments of the present application has the beneficial effects of the foregoing electronic device 10, which will not be described again. Of course, because of the existence of the interface ring 200, the interface 110a of the electronic device 10 in this example is actually a jack 210a corresponding to the interface ring unit 210.

[0084] The endoscope involved in the embodiments of the present application can be a bronchoscope, a nephroscopy, an esophagoscope, a gastroscope, a colonoscope, an otoscope, a nasoscope, an oral mirror, a laryngoscope, a colposcope, a laparoscope, an arthroscope, etc. The embodiments of the present application do not specifically limit the type of endoscope.
