DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0023] The terms "first", "second", and the like in the specification and claims of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, "and / or" in the specification and claims indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / ", generally indicates that the front and rear associated objects are in a "or" relationship.

[0024] The electronic device provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below by specific embodiments and application scenarios in combination with the drawings.

[0025] Please refer to FIG. 1-20, the electronic device disclosed in the embodiment of the application comprises a shell 100 and a camera decoration assembly 200.

[0026] The shell 100 provides a mounting base for other components of the electronic device. The shell 100 is provided with a light passing opening 101. The light passing opening 101 here is used to expose the camera module of the electronic device, and can also be understood as external light entering the camera module through the light passing opening 101. Specifically, the shell 100 has an inner cavity for mounting circuit boards, camera modules and other components of the electronic device. Therefore, the light passing opening 101 is in communication with the inner cavity of the shell 100.

[0027] The camera decoration assembly 200 is used to decorate the camera module, thereby avoiding the exposure of the camera module, and further improving the appearance of the electronic device. The camera decoration assembly 200 comprises a decoration piece 210 and a lens 220, the decoration piece 210 is arranged on one side of the shell 100 and located at the light passing opening 101, the decoration piece 210 is provided with a light passing hole 211, and the light passing hole 211 is arranged opposite to the light passing opening 101. Since the decoration piece 210 needs to cover the light passing opening 101, the decoration piece 210 is located on the outside of the shell 100, that is, the decoration piece 210 is arranged on the outer surface of the shell 100. The side of the decoration piece 210 away from the shell 100 is provided with a textured surface 212. Here, the surface of the side of the decoration piece 210 away from the shell 100 refers to the side of the decoration piece 210 facing the user, so that the user can see the textured surface 212.

[0028] The lens 220 is arranged on the side of the decoration piece 210 away from the shell 100, at this time, the lens 220 can be bonded to the decoration piece 210 by double-sided adhesive tape or glue. The lens 220 has an opaque area 221, a first transparent area 222 and a second transparent area 223, the opaque area 221 is arranged around the first transparent area 222, and the second transparent area 223 is arranged around the opaque area 221, at this time, the outer periphery of the second transparent area 223 cannot transmit light. The first transparent area 222 is arranged opposite to the light passing hole 211. At this time, external light enters the lens of the camera module through the light passing opening 101 after passing through the first transparent area 222 and the light passing hole 211 in turn. The textured surface 212 is arranged opposite to the second transparent area 223, at this time, the textured surface 212 can be exposed through the second transparent area 223, so that the user can see the textured surface 212 through the second transparent area 223.

[0029] In the disclosed embodiments, external light can pass through the second transparent area 223 to illuminate the textured surface 212, thus illuminating the textured surface 212, and the light-shielding area 221 can be obviously observed to be convex relative to the textured surface 212 in appearance, and the effect of the light-shielding area 221 being suspended can be observed, thus affecting the appearance of the lens 220, and the overall appearance of the camera decoration assembly 200 is more three-dimensional and diverse, and thus the appearance performance of the electronic device is improved.

[0030] In addition, the light-shielding area 221 can separate the first transparent area 222 and the second transparent area 223, thus avoiding the influence of reflected light of the textured surface 212 on the first transparent area 222, and thus the photographing performance of the electronic device is improved.

[0031] The textured surface 212 in the above embodiments includes a plurality of convex protrusions arranged in an annular array, and a recess is formed between adjacent convex protrusions, thus achieving a structure of light and shade intersecting. Alternatively, the textured surface 212 can also be a knurled surface, and the specific structure of the textured surface 212 is not limited herein.

[0032] Optionally, the lens 220 can be made of transparent glass or transparent resin or the like. The light-shielding layer or the ink screen printing area is coated on the lens 220, thus forming the light-shielding area 221.

[0033] In another optional solution, a groove 213 can be formed on the side of the decoration piece 210 away from the shell 100, and the lens 220 can cover the slot of the groove 213. The textured surface 212 is arranged on the inner side wall of the groove 213. The light transmission hole 211 penetrates the bottom wall of the groove 213. In this solution, the side of the decoration piece 210 away from the shell 100 forms a concave groove 213, and the textured surface 212 is arranged on the inner side wall of the groove 213, thus further increasing the gap between the textured surface 212 and the lens 220, so that the light-shielding area 221 is more three-dimensional in appearance, and thus has a better lens 220 suspension effect.

[0034] Since the lens 220 is thin, the lens 220 is prone to deformation, thus easily causing damage to the lens 220. Based on this, in another optional solution, the camera decoration assembly 200 can further include a support portion 230, a first adhesive layer 240, and a second adhesive layer 250, and the support portion 230, the first adhesive layer 240, and the second adhesive layer 250 can all be located in the groove 213. Here, it can also be understood that the support portion 230, the first adhesive layer 240, and the second adhesive layer 250 are located in the space formed by the decoration piece 210 and the lens 220. The support portion 230 can be adhered to the light-shielding area 221 of the lens 220 through the first adhesive layer 240. The support portion 230 is adhered to the bottom wall of the groove 213 through the second adhesive layer 250.

[0035] In this scheme, the support portion 230 is supported between the lens 220 and the bottom wall of the groove 213, so as to improve the strength of the lens 220 and avoid the risk of damage to the lens 220. In addition, the support portion 230 can also improve the overall strength of the camera decoration assembly 200, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the camera decoration assembly 200.

[0036] In the above embodiment, the support portion 230 can be a block structure, at which time the support portion 230 needs to avoid the position of the light hole 211, so as to avoid the support portion 230 from blocking the light hole 211. Alternatively, the support portion 230 can be a ring structure, at which time the inner ring area of the support portion 230 can be opposite to both the light hole 211 and the first transparent area 222, thereby avoiding the light hole 211.

[0037] In order to prevent the support portion 230 from blocking the second transparent area 223 and the first transparent area 222, in another optional scheme, the support portion 230, the first adhesive layer 240 and the second adhesive layer 250 are all located within the projection of the light shielding area 221 along the axis direction of the light hole 211. At this time, the edges of the support portion 230, the first adhesive layer 240 and the second adhesive layer 250 do not protrude from the edges of the light shielding area 221, so as to avoid blocking the second transparent area 223 and the first transparent area 222.

[0038] Alternatively, the areas of the support portion 230, the first adhesive layer 240 and the second adhesive layer 250 are all smaller than the area of the light shielding area 221. Alternatively, the areas of the support portion 230, the first adhesive layer 240 and the second adhesive layer 250 are equal to the area of the light shielding area 221.

[0039] In another optional embodiment, the camera decoration assembly 200 and the shell 100 can form an air passage 400, one end of the air passage 400 can be connected with the inner cavity of the shell 100, and the other end of the air passage 400 can be connected with the external environment of the electronic device.

[0040] In this scheme, the air passage 400 can balance the internal and external air pressures of the electronic device, so as to avoid the dramatic increase of the internal air pressure of the electronic device, thereby balancing the internal and external pressures of the electronic device, so as to avoid affecting the normal use of the internal components of the electronic device, thereby improving the reliability of the electronic device.

[0041] Alternatively, the air passage 400 can be formed by the decoration piece 210, the shell 100 and the adhesive layer therebetween. Alternatively, the air passage 400 can be formed by the inner support 270 of the camera decoration assembly 200, the shell 100 and the adhesive layer therebetween.

[0042] In another alternative, the ventilation passage 400 includes a first passage, a second passage and a third passage, one end of the first passage and the second passage can be communicated with the external environment of the electronic device, one end of the first passage and the second passage can be communicated with the third passage, and the third passage is communicated with the inner cavity of the shell 100. At this time, the first passage and the third passage form a first ventilation path. And the second passage and the third passage form a second ventilation path. Therefore, it can be prevented that in special cases, one ventilation path is blocked and the other ventilation path can work normally, so as to always ensure that the inner cavity of the shell 100 and the external environment of the electronic device are in pressure balance, thereby further improving the reliability of the electronic device.

[0043] In a specific scheme, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the camera decoration assembly 200 can further include an inner support 270 and a third adhesive layer 280. The inner support 270 is arranged on the side of the shell 100 away from the decoration piece 210, which can be understood as that the inner support 270 is located in the inner cavity of the shell 100. The inner support 270 can be attached to the surface of the side of the shell 100 away from the decoration piece 210 through the third adhesive layer 280, which can be understood as that the inner support 270 is adhered to the inner surface of the shell 100 through the third adhesive layer 280. The inner support 270 here can be connected with the decoration piece 210, thereby improving the connection strength of the entire camera decoration assembly 200.

[0044] The third adhesive layer 280 is provided with a first strip-shaped hole 281, and the inner support 270, the shell 100 and the first strip-shaped hole 281 can form a first main passage 410. At this time, the third adhesive layer 280 is provided with a first strip-shaped hole 281 penetrating along the thickness direction thereof, and when the third adhesive layer 280 is adhered between the inner support 270 and the inner surface of the shell 100, the inner support 270 and the shell 100 cover the hole openings at both ends of the first strip-shaped hole 281, thereby forming the first main passage 410. The inner support 270 can be provided with a first communication hole 271, and the first main passage 410 can be communicated with the inner cavity of the shell 100 through the first communication hole 271. The shell 100 is provided with a ventilation hole 102, and the first main passage 410 can be communicated with the external environment of the electronic device through the ventilation hole 102. The first main passage 410, the first communication hole 271 and the ventilation hole 102 here jointly form the ventilation passage 400 described above.

[0045] In a specific ventilation process, the external environment of the electronic device and the inner cavity of the shell 100 are sequentially communicated from outside to inside through the ventilation hole 102, the first main passage 410 and the first communication hole 271.

[0046] In this scheme, the ventilation passage 400 is designed by utilizing the stacking space of the shell 100 and the inner support 270 of the camera decoration assembly 200, so that the overall appearance performance of the camera decoration assembly 200 is not affected, thereby making the camera decoration assembly 200 have better appearance performance. In addition, the ventilation passage 400 is formed by the first main passage 410, the first communication hole 271 and the air hole 102, so that the path of the ventilation passage 400 is increased, thereby effectively preventing dust and water vapor from entering the inner cavity of the shell 100 on the premise of ensuring the ventilation performance, thereby making the electronic device have better waterproof and dustproof performance.

[0047] In the above embodiment, the air hole 102 can be located outside the edge of the decoration piece 210, at this time, the user can directly see the air hole 102, thereby affecting the appearance performance of the electronic device. In addition, the exposure of the air hole 102 will cause dust accumulation, thereby easily blocking the air hole 102, thereby easily causing the risk of ventilation failure of the ventilation passage 400.

[0048] Based on this, in another optional scheme, the camera decoration assembly 200 can further include a fourth adhesive layer 260, and the fourth adhesive layer 260 and the third adhesive layer 280 can be located on the opposite sides of the shell 100, respectively. The shell 100 and the decoration piece 210 can be adhered by the fourth adhesive layer 260, which means that the decoration piece 210 is adhered to the outer surface of the shell 100 by the fourth adhesive layer 260.

[0049] The edge of the fourth adhesive layer 260 can be provided with a first avoidance gap 261, and the first avoidance gap 261 is arranged opposite to the air hole 102. That is, the fourth adhesive layer 260 exposes the air hole 102 through the first avoidance gap 261, thereby not blocking the air hole 102. It can also be understood that the air hole 102 is located below the decoration piece 210, and the fourth adhesive layer 260 corresponds to the area provided with the avoidance gap, thereby avoiding blocking the air hole 102.

[0050] The decoration piece 210, the first avoidance gap 261 and the shell 100 can form a first gap 420 connected with the external environment of the electronic device, at this time, the decoration piece 210 and the outer surface of the shell 100 have an assembly gap, and the assembly gap is used to paste the fourth adhesive layer 260, and the first avoidance gap 261 is arranged on the local edge of the fourth adhesive layer 260, at this time, the local gap provided with the first avoidance gap 261 is not filled with the fourth adhesive layer 260, so that the local area of the assembly gap is the first gap 420. Therefore, the first gap 420 is connected with the external environment of the electronic device. The first gap 420 can be part of the ventilation passage 400. The first main passage 410 can be connected with the first gap 420 through the air hole 102.

[0051] In this scheme, the air vent hole 102 is located below the decorative piece 210, so the decorative piece 210 can hide the air vent hole 102, avoiding the air vent hole 102 from being exposed, and thus improving the appearance performance of the electronic device. In addition, the decorative piece 210 can also shield external dust and water vapor, thereby avoiding the risk of the air vent hole 102 being blocked by dust, and thus avoiding the risk of the air passage 400 failing to ventilate.

[0052] In addition, the first gap 420 can serve as an outer passage of the air passage 400, and the first main passage 410 can serve as an inner passage of the air passage 400, and the inner passage and the outer passage can be connected through the air vent hole 102. Therefore, a multi-segment passage structure is formed, which can further improve the dustproof and waterproof performance of the air passage 400.

[0053] The electronic device is usually provided with at least two camera modules, in order to cope with this kind of setting, in another optional scheme, the shell 100 can be formed with a first cross beam 103, and the shell 100 can be provided with at least two light passing openings 101, and the at least two light passing openings 101 can be separated by the first cross beam 103. In the case where the shell 100 is formed with the first cross beam 103, the area of the third adhesive layer 280 and the inner support 270 opposite to the first cross beam 103 can form the above-mentioned first main passage 410. That is, the first main passage 410 is formed at the position of the first cross beam 103.

[0054] Specifically, the third adhesive layer 280 includes a first adhesive area, a second adhesive area and a third adhesive area, the first adhesive area extends along the edge of one of the light passing holes 211, the third adhesive area extends along the edge of the other light passing hole 211, and the second adhesive area is opposite to the first cross beam 103. The inner support 270 also corresponds to be provided with an upper half, a strip-shaped part and a lower half. The first adhesive area adheres the upper half to the corresponding position of one of the light passing holes 211, and the third adhesive area adheres the lower half to the corresponding position of the other light passing hole 211. The second adhesive area adheres the strip-shaped part to the first cross beam 103. The second adhesive area here is provided with the above-mentioned first strip-shaped hole 281, and the second adhesive area, the first cross beam 103 and the strip-shaped part form the above-mentioned first main passage 410.

[0055] In this scheme, the first main passage 410 is formed by the first cross beam 103 between the at least two light passing holes 211, thereby avoiding occupying the area of the decorative piece 210 around the shell 100, and thus not easily affecting the volume of the electronic device. In addition, the design of the first cross beam 103 can not only be used to form the first main passage 410, but also increase the structural strength of this area, thus optimizing the structural layout of the electronic device.

[0056] Further, the number of the air holes 102 can be at least two, which are a first air hole 1021 and a second air hole 1022. The first air hole 1021 can be located at one end of the first cross beam 103, and the second air hole 1022 can be located at the other end of the first cross beam 103. The first strip hole 281 can extend along the extension direction of the first cross beam 103, and the first strip hole 281 has a first port 2811 and a second port 2812 along the extension direction thereof. The first port 2811 can be connected with the first air hole 1021, and the second port 2812 can be connected with the second air hole 1022. The first communication hole 271 can be located between the first port 2811 and the second port 2812. The first communication hole 271 divides the first main channel 410 into two segments, i.e., a left segment and a right segment. Here, the first air hole 1021 and the left segment of the first main channel 410 form the first channel, the second air hole 1022 and the right segment of the first main channel 410 form the second channel, and the first communication hole 271 forms the third channel.

[0057] In this scheme, the first communication hole 271 divides the first main channel 410 into two segments, that is, the air passage 400 has two air passage paths. As shown in FIG. 3, the first air hole 1021, the left segment of the first main channel 410, and the first communication hole 271 form a first air passage path. The second air hole 1022, the right segment of the second main channel 430, and the first communication hole 271 form a second air passage path. Thus, in a special case, one air hole 102 can be blocked, and the other air hole 102 can work normally, so that the air pressure balance between the inner cavity of the shell 100 and the external environment of the electronic device can be ensured at all times, and thus the reliability of the electronic device is further improved.

[0058] Optionally, in the case where the number of the air holes 102 is two, the number of the first avoiding gaps 261 can also be two, one of which is arranged opposite to the first air hole 1021, and the other of which is arranged opposite to the second air hole 1022.

[0059] The embodiments disclosed in the present application are not limited to the design of the air passage 400 described above. In another optional embodiment, the camera decoration assembly 200 can further include a fifth adhesive layer 290, and the decoration piece 210 is attached to the outer surface of the shell 100 through the fifth adhesive layer 290. The fifth adhesive layer 290 and the fourth adhesive layer 260 described above belong to the same component, and are both used to realize the adhesion between the shell 100 and the decoration piece 210. The fifth adhesive layer 290 and the fourth adhesive layer 260 are the same structure in different embodiments.

[0060] The fifth adhesive layer 290 is provided with a hole along the radial direction of the fifth adhesive layer 290, one end of the hole penetrates to the edge of the fifth adhesive layer 290, and the other end penetrates to the edge of the light transmission opening 101, at this time, the decorative part 210 and the shell 100 block both sides of the hole, thereby forming the above-mentioned air passage 400.

[0061] In the electronic device disclosed in the present application, due to the different component structures of the shell 100, the structures of the air passage 400 formed are different. In another alternative embodiment, as shown in FIG. 13, the shell 100 can include a skin layer 110 and a substrate layer 120, where the skin layer 110 serves as the outer surface of the shell 100, and the skin layer 110 has good decorative and tactile properties, thus improving the appearance performance of the electronic device. The skin layer 110 can be made of PU (Polyurethane), rubber, animal fur, or the like. The substrate layer 120 is used to support the skin layer 110, and the substrate layer 120 can be made of PC (Polycarbonate), metal, or tempered glass, or the like. Specifically, the substrate layer 120 can have a first region 121 and a second region 122, the first region 121 can be arranged around the second region 122, and the first region 121 can be attached with the skin layer 110.

[0062] The first region 121 here can also be understood as the appearance region of the shell 100. The second region 122 can be provided with the above-mentioned light transmission opening 101, the skin layer 110 and the decorative part 210 can be located on the same side of the substrate layer 120, and the decorative part 210 is attached to the second region 122 by the fifth adhesive layer 290. At this time, the decorative part 210 is used to cover the second region 122. It can be understood here that the skin layer 110 is provided with an exposed hole opposite to the second region 122, so as to expose the second region 122. The decorative part 210 is attached to the second region 122 by the fifth adhesive layer 290, so as to cover the second region 122.

[0063] The fifth adhesive layer 290 can be provided with a second slot hole 291, the second slot hole 291, the decorative part 210, and the substrate layer 120 form a second main passage 430. At this time, the fifth adhesive layer 290 is provided with a second slot hole 291 penetrating along the thickness direction of the fifth adhesive layer 290, when the fifth adhesive layer 290 is attached between the second region 122 of the substrate layer 120 and the decorative part 210, the second region 122 of the substrate layer 120 and the decorative part 210 cover the hole openings at both ends of the second slot hole 291, thereby forming the second main passage 430.

[0064] The edge of the decorative piece 210 and the leather layer 110 form a second gap 440. In order to ensure that the decorative piece 210 can completely cover the second area 122, the edge of the decorative piece 210 is pressed on the leather layer 110, and thus the surface of the side of the leather layer 110 away from the substrate layer 120 and the decorative piece 210 form the second gap 440. The second gap 440 can be in communication with the external environment of the electronic device.

[0065] The second main channel 430 can be in communication with the external environment of the electronic device through the second gap 440. The second area 122 of the substrate layer 120 can be provided with a second communication hole 1221, and the second main channel 430 is in communication with the inner cavity of the shell 100 through the second communication hole 1221. The second main channel 430, the second gap 440, and the second communication hole 1221 jointly form the ventilation channel 400.

[0066] In the specific ventilation process, the external environment of the electronic device and the inner cavity of the shell 100 are sequentially communicated from the outside to the inside through the second gap 440, the second main channel 430, and the second communication hole 1221.

[0067] In this scheme, the ventilation channel 400 is designed by using the stacking space of the substrate layer 120 and the leather layer 110 of the shell 100 and the decorative piece 210, so as not to affect the overall appearance performance of the camera decoration assembly 200, so that the camera decoration assembly 200 has good appearance performance. In addition, the ventilation channel 400 is formed by the second main channel 430, the second communication hole 1221, and the second gap 440, so as to increase the path of the ventilation channel 400, and thus effectively prevent dust and water vapor from entering the inner cavity of the shell 100 under the premise of ensuring the ventilation performance, so that the electronic device has good waterproof and dustproof performance.

[0068] In addition, this scheme uses the gap in the stacking direction of the leather layer 110 and the decorative piece 210 for ventilation, thereby reducing the opening on the shell 100, and further improving the appearance performance of the electronic device.

[0069] In the above embodiment, in order to ensure that the second gap 440 is formed between the leather layer 110 and the decorative piece 210, the edge of the decorative piece 210 cannot be directly pressed on the leather layer 110, so that the decorative piece 210 and the leather layer 110 have a large height difference, which easily affects the appearance performance of the electronic device, and also easily causes dust to accumulate between the leather layer 110 and the decorative piece 210.

[0070] Based on this, in another alternative, the first region 121 can have a first bonding surface 1211, a transition surface 1212, and a second bonding surface 1213, the first bonding surface 1211 and the second bonding surface 1213 are connected by the transition surface 1212, the second bonding surface 1213 is located on the side of the first bonding surface 1211 facing the second region 122, and the first bonding surface 1211 is higher than the second bonding surface 1213 in the direction facing the substrate layer 120. At this time, the side of the first region 121 facing the substrate layer 120 is provided with a concave area, and the transition surface 1212 and the second bonding surface 1213 form the concave area, so there is a height difference between the first bonding surface 1211 and the second bonding surface 1213.

[0071] The substrate layer 120 includes a main covering portion 111 and an extension portion 112, where the covering portion refers to the main appearance area of the substrate layer 120. The main covering portion 111 is attached to the first bonding surface 1211, and the extension portion 112 extends from the transition surface 1212 to the second bonding surface 1213. The extension portion 112 is attached to the transition surface 1212 and the second bonding surface 1213, and the surface of the side of the extension portion 112 away from the substrate layer 120 forms a second gap 440 with the decorative part 210. At this time, since there is a height difference between the first bonding surface 1211 and the second bonding surface 1213, the extension portion 112 is concave relative to the main covering portion 111, so that the main covering portion 111 and the extension portion 112 also form a height difference, and the main covering portion 111 protrudes from the extension portion 112. Therefore, even if the decorative part 210 is integrally pressed on the main covering portion 111, there will be a gap between the decorative part 210 and the extension portion 112 in the thickness direction, which is the second gap 440.

[0072] In this scheme, by setting part of the substrate layer 120 to be concave, the appearance performance of the electronic device can be further improved while ensuring air permeability, and dust accumulation between the substrate layer 120 and the decorative part 210 is also avoided.

[0073] As shown in FIG. 19, the area marked by the dashed line box is the extension portion 112, which can be attached to the second bonding surface 1213. The present application is to illustrate the position of the second bonding surface 1213, and a gap is reserved between the extension portion 112 and the second bonding surface 1213, but there is no such gap in the actual process, and the extension portion 112 is directly attached to the second bonding surface 1213.

[0074] In another alternative embodiment, the edge of the fifth adhesive layer 290 may have a second clearance notch 292, which is positioned opposite to the second mating surface 1213. The end of the second strip-shaped hole 291 passes through the clearance notch. In this embodiment, the second clearance notch 292 allows the port position of the second main channel 430 to be recessed, thereby avoiding the risk of the second main channel 430 being blocked and further ensuring the reliability of the ventilation channel 400.

[0075] In one embodiment, the angle between the transition surface 1212 and the second mating surface 1213 can be a right angle.

[0076] In another alternative, the angle between the transition surface 1212 and the second bonding surface 1213 can be an obtuse angle. In this design, the transition surface 1212 is inclined away from the second bonding surface 1213, allowing the extension 112 to transition evenly onto the second bonding surface 1213. This ensures that the veneer layer 110 of the ventilation channel 400 can be effectively bonded, guaranteeing smooth ventilation of the ventilation channel 400. It also meets the requirements for a refined and delicate appearance.

[0077] In another alternative embodiment, the second bonding surface 1213 is flush with the surface of the second region 122 facing the decorative element 210. This design reduces the stack thickness of the decorative element 210 and the substrate layer 120, while also ensuring that the decorative element 210 can be pressed onto the main cover 111.

[0078] Electronic devices typically have at least two camera modules. To address this, in another alternative solution, the second region 122 can have a second crossbeam 104. The second region 122 has at least two light-transmitting openings 101, which are separated by the second crossbeam 104. When the second region 122 has the second crossbeam 104, a second main channel 430 is formed between the areas of the fifth adhesive layer 290 and the decorative element 210 opposite to the second crossbeam 104 and the second crossbeam 104. That is, the second main channel 430 is formed at the location of the second crossbeam 104. Here, the second crossbeam 104 and the aforementioned first crossbeam 103 are the same structure in different embodiments, both being crossbeams formed on the housing 100.

[0079] Specifically, the fifth adhesive layer 290 includes a first adhesive area, a second adhesive area and a third adhesive area, the first adhesive area extends along the edge of one of the light passing holes 211, the third adhesive area extends along the edge of the other light passing hole 211, and the second adhesive area is opposite to the second cross beam 104. The decorative piece 210 also corresponds to be provided with an upper half, a middle part and a lower half. The first adhesive area adheres the upper half to the corresponding position of one of the light passing holes 211, and the third adhesive area adheres the lower half to the corresponding position of the other light passing hole 211. The second adhesive area adheres the middle part to the second cross beam 104. The second adhesive area here is provided with the second strip-shaped hole 291 described above, and the second adhesive area, the second cross beam 104 and the middle part form the second main channel 430 described above.

[0080] In this scheme, the second main channel 430 is formed by the second cross beam 104 between the at least two light passing holes 211, thereby avoiding the occupation of the area of the decorative piece 210 around the shell 100, and thus not easily affecting the volume of the electronic device. In addition, the design of the second cross beam 104 can be used to form the second main channel 430, and also increases the structural strength of this area, thereby optimizing the structural layout of the electronic device.

[0081] Further, the second strip-shaped hole 291 has a third port 2911 and a fourth port 2912 along the extension direction of the second cross beam 104, and the second communication hole 1221 is located between the third port 2911 and the fourth port 2912. The second gap 440 can include a first sub-gap 441 and a second sub-gap 442, the first sub-gap 441 and the second sub-gap 442 are located on the opposite sides of the decorative piece 210 respectively, the third port 2911 is in communication with the first sub-gap 441, and the fourth port 2912 is in communication with the second sub-gap 442. The second communication hole 1221 divides the second main channel 430 into left and right two sections, the first sub-gap 441 and the left half of the second main channel 430 form the first channel described above, the second sub-gap 442 and the right half of the second main channel 430 form the second channel described above, and the second communication hole 1221 forms the third channel described above.

[0082] In this scheme, the second communication hole 1221 divides the second main channel 430 into left and right two sections, that is, the air passage 400 has two air passage paths. As shown in FIG. 13, the first sub-gap 441, the left section of the second main channel 430 and the second communication hole 1221 form a first air passage path. And the second sub-gap 442, the right end of the second main channel 430 and the second communication hole form a second air passage path. Therefore, it can be prevented that in a special case, one of the second gaps 440 is blocked, and the other second gap 440 can work normally, so that the air pressure balance between the inner cavity of the shell 100 and the external environment of the electronic device can be ensured at all times, and thus the reliability of the electronic device is further improved.

[0083] In another alternative, the electronic device can further include a dustproof and breathable film 500, which is arranged in the air passage 400. The dustproof and breathable film 500 herein refers to a thin film that can be breathable but has a certain dust filtering performance. This scheme can further improve the dustproof and waterproof performance of the electronic device.

[0084] In the scheme as shown in FIG. 3, the dustproof and breathable film 500 can be arranged in the first communication hole 271. At this time, the dustproof and breathable film 500 can cover the first communication hole 271.

[0085] In the scheme as shown in FIG. 13, the dustproof and breathable film 500 can be arranged in the second communication hole 1221. At this time, the dustproof and breathable film 500 can cover the second communication hole 1221.

[0086] In another alternative, the light-shielding area 221 can include first and second sub-light-shielding areas 2211 and 2212 that are arranged at intervals, and the first transparent area 222 can include first and second sub-transparent areas 2221 and 2222 that are arranged at intervals, the first sub-light-shielding area 2211 is arranged around the first sub-transparent area 2221. The second sub-light-shielding area 2212 is arranged around the second sub-transparent area 2222. One of the light-through openings 101 is arranged opposite to the first sub-transparent area 2221, and the other light-through opening 101 is arranged opposite to the second sub-transparent area 2222.

[0087] This scheme can meet the dual-camera requirement of the electronic device, and also can realize the effect of suspending each sub-light-shielding area 221, thus further improving the appearance performance of the electronic device.

[0088] Further, the support portion 230 described above includes first and second sub-support portions 231 and 232 that are arranged at intervals, the first sub-support portion 231 is arranged and adhered to the first sub-light-shielding area 2211 through a corresponding adhesive layer, and the second sub-support portion 232 can be arranged and adhered to the second sub-light-shielding area 2212 through a corresponding adhesive layer.

[0089] The electronic device disclosed in the embodiments of the present application can be a smart phone, a tablet computer, an electronic book reader, a wearable device (such as a smart watch), an electronic game console, or the like. The embodiments of the present application are not limited to the specific types of electronic devices.

Those skilled in the art can make many forms under the inspiration of the present application without departing from the scope of the present application and the protection scope of the claims.
