Camera Decorative Ring Skirt Notches to Prevent Module Interference
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The interference between a large camera module and a skirt structure in electronic devices leads to potential damage and increased thickness, hindering market competitiveness.
Innovation Solution
Incorporating a notch in the skirt structure of the decorative part to avoid interference with the camera module, coupled with seals to prevent damage and maintain device thickness.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a skirt structure is added to ensure reliable connection between decorative part and housing, then connection reliability is improved, but the skirt structure may interfere with and damage the camera module
Solution Approach 1:
The skirt structure is segmented by introducing notches that divide it into multiple sections. These notches create gaps between the skirt structure and camera module, allowing the skirt to maintain its connection function while preventing contact with the camera module during device deformation
Solution Approach 2:
The notches are strategically positioned at specific locations where the skirt structure would otherwise contact the camera module. This localized modification maintains the overall connection reliability of the skirt structure while creating protective gaps only where needed
2Object-affected harmful factors
If an avoidance space is disposed between skirt structure and camera module to prevent damage, then camera module protection is improved, but device thickness increases
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of creating a continuous avoidance space that increases overall device thickness, the skirt structure is segmented with notches that create localized gaps. This provides protection where needed without adding uniform thickness across the entire device
Solution Approach 2:
The protection mechanism transitions from a three-dimensional avoidance space (which would increase thickness) to a two-dimensional notch pattern on the skirt structure. The notches provide protective gaps in the radial direction without requiring additional thickness in the axial direction
3Adaptability or versatility
If camera module size is increased to meet photographing requirements, then photographing function is improved, but the larger camera module increases likelihood of interference with skirt structure
Solution Approach 1:
The notches in the skirt structure create segmented gaps that accommodate larger camera module dimensions. By dividing the skirt structure into sections separated by notches, the design provides clearance for enlarged camera modules without compromising the overall connection reliability

AI summary
An electronic device includes a housing, a camera module, and a decorative part. The housing is provided with a mounting hole. The camera module includes a lens and a module body connected to the lens. The decorative part includes a decorative part body and a skirt structure connected to the decorative part body. The decorative part body is disposed on the periphery of the lens and disposed in the mounting hole. The skirt structure is provided with a notch. The notch is opposite to the module body. An orthographic projection of a part of the module body opposite to the notch onto a plane of the skirt structure does not fall into the skirt structure.
