Description

Shell assembly and mobile terminal

Technical Field

The disclosure relates to the technical field of communication equipment, in particular to a shell assembly and a mobile terminal.

Background

Currently, a camera assembly is mounted on a housing of a mobile terminal. A camera hole for installing a camera assembly is formed in the shell of the mobile terminal. The camera assembly is fixedly arranged on the camera hole through the camera decoration piece. Due to assembly and manufacturing tolerances, the gap between the camera shooting decoration piece and the shell on the appearance surface just faces a user, the gap problem is very obvious, and the appearance delicacy is influenced.

Moreover, when the housing of the mobile terminal is made of a transparent material, because the housing made of the transparent material has a certain thickness, light is refracted in the transparent material and is transmitted out from the periphery of the camera hole to form a white aperture, namely, the phenomenon of white leakage is avoided. Because the clearance between the decoration of making a video recording and the casing is great, the casing is more obvious in the "white leakage" phenomenon of the periphery of the hole of making a video recording, influences the outward appearance of casing.

SUMMERY OF THE UTILITY MODEL

The purpose of the present disclosure is to provide a housing assembly and a mobile terminal, which can reduce the influence of the "white leakage" phenomenon on the appearance and improve the overall appearance effect.

The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The housing assembly of the present embodiment may be applied to a plurality of electronic devices using a camera assembly, for example, a tablet, a computer monitor, a mobile terminal, and other fields, and the application field of the housing assembly is not limited herein. Specifically, in this embodiment, a case component of the mobile terminal is taken as an example for explanation, the mobile terminal may be a mobile phone, a tablet, a smart watch, and the like, and other embodiments are not described in detail.

In this embodiment, the mobile terminal includes a housing assembly 10, a camera assembly (not shown), and a protection lens 20. The camera assembly is mounted on the housing assembly 10, and the protective lens 20 is disposed outside the transparent housing to seal the transparent housing. The camera assembly is used for shooting. In particular, in this embodiment, the camera assembly is a rear camera assembly. Also, the camera assembly may include a plurality of cameras, flash lights, and the like.

The rear camera assembly is typically provided with a protective lens 20 on the outside. The protective lens 20 is mounted on the decorative member, and external light can enter the camera module through the protective lens 20. Protection lens 20 can protect camera subassembly, avoids in dust, steam etc. get into the camera subassembly, avoids the external world to camera subassembly wearing and tearing.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, a housing assembly 10 of the present embodiment includes a transparent housing 11 and a decoration 12. The decoration member 12 is used to mount the camera assembly on the transparent housing 11.

The transparent casing 11 is provided with a camera hole 111. The transparent case 11 may be a glass case or a plastic case.

The transparent case 11 may have a cover plate shape or a groove shape. The shape of the transparent case 11 is not limited as long as the transparent case 11 can be provided with the imaging hole 111.

The decoration 12 is used for mounting a camera assembly. The decoration 12 is a plate having a certain thickness, and the shape of the decoration 12 is adapted to the shape of the imaging hole 111. Also, the thickness of the garnish 12 is greater than the thickness of the transparent housing 11. The decoration 12 includes a body 121, a mounting portion 122 and a protruding edge 123. The garnish 12 is made of a metal material.

Referring to fig. 3, the body 121 is accommodated in the camera hole 111, an outer sidewall of the body 121 abuts against an inner sidewall of the camera hole 111, and the body 121 is provided with a through hole 124 extending in a thickness direction of the body 121. The via 124 is used to receive a camera assembly. The camera assembly is received within the via 124. And, the shape of the via 124 is adapted to the shape of the camera assembly. Specifically, in the present embodiment, there are a plurality of vias 124. That is, the mobile terminal may be a dual-camera structure or a multi-camera structure.

The mounting portion 122 is disposed on an inner sidewall of the through hole 124 and extends along a circumferential direction of the through hole 124. A mounting portion 122 projects towards the inside of the through hole 124, the mounting portion 122 being used to support and carry the protective lens 20. The fixing of the protection lens 20 to the transparent housing 11 can be achieved by the mounting portion 122.

Specifically, in the present embodiment, the mounting portion 122 is located outside the transparent housing 11 in the axial direction of the imaging hole 111. The protective lens 20 also protrudes outside the transparent shell 11. The height of the camera assembly along the axial direction of the camera hole 111 does not affect the overall thickness of the mobile terminal. The installation of camera subassembly can not thicken whole mobile terminal's complete machine thickness.

When the protection lens 20 protrudes relative to the transparent housing 11, the protection lens 20 and the decoration 12 can seal the through hole 124 and the camera hole 111, prevent dust and moisture from entering the camera assembly and the mobile terminal, and improve the appearance of the product.

The mounting portion 122 is formed with a mounting surface 125 for mounting the protective lens 20 of the camera assembly. The mounting surface 125 is provided with a first double-sided adhesive layer 13. The protective lens 20 of the camera module abuts on the mounting surface 125, and the protective lens 20 is adhesively connected to the mounting portion 122 by the first double-sided adhesive layer.

The convex edge 123 is disposed on the outer sidewall of the body 121 and extends along the circumferential direction of the body 121. The protruding edge 123 abuts against the outer side wall of the transparent shell 11 at the position of the camera hole 111. There is a gap 126 between the ledge 123 and the outer side wall of the transparent housing 11. The opening direction of the gap 126 is toward the outer periphery of the protruding edge 123, and is not directed to the user's sight line, so that the appearance of the mobile terminal can be kept fine.

Meanwhile, the convex edge 123 can shield the side wall of the transparent shell 11 at the periphery of the camera hole 111, so that the convex edge 123 can shield the part of the transparent shell 11 which generates the white leakage phenomenon, and the white leakage phenomenon is prevented from being exposed. Therefore, the decoration 12 may enhance the appearance of the transparent case 11 of the mobile terminal.

And, because the protruding edge 123 of ornamental piece 12 is located outside transparent shell 11. Therefore, the width of the garnish 12 can be larger than the size of the aperture of the imaging aperture 111. The width of the decoration 12 does not directly affect the aperture size of the imaging hole 111, and the strength of the transparent shell 11 is not affected by the large imaging hole 111.

Moreover, the convex edge 123 of the decoration 12 is located outside the camera shooting hole 111, so the thickness of the convex edge 123 does not affect the thickness of the whole mobile terminal.

Specifically, in the present embodiment, a slope 127 is provided on the outer side of the protruding edge 123, and the slope 127 is inclined from the outer side wall of the body 121 toward the outer side wall of the transparent casing 11. The slope 127 can make the transition between the convex edge 123 and the transparent shell 11 smooth, and enhance the appearance effect. It is understood that the inclined surface 127 may be a flat surface, or may be an arc surface. The ramp 127 reduces the amount of clearance between the ledge 123 and the outer sidewall of the transparent shell 11.

The housing assembly 10 also includes a solder tab 14. The tab 14 is opened with a through hole 141. The through hole 141 is opposite to and communicates with the via hole 124. There are a plurality of vias 124 and correspondingly, there are a plurality of vias 141. That is, the mobile terminal may be a dual camera or a multi camera.

The soldering lug 14 is fixedly provided with the inner side wall of the transparent shell 11. Specifically, the housing assembly 10 further includes a second double-sided adhesive layer 15. The soldering lug 14 is fixedly bonded with the inner side wall of the transparent shell 11 through a second double-faced adhesive tape 15. To facilitate securing the decorative element 12, the housing assembly 10 further includes a third layer of two-sided adhesive 16. The decoration 12 may be preliminarily adhered and fixed to the outer side wall of the transparent case 11 by the third double-sided adhesive layer 16.

The tab 14 is provided with a relief portion 142, and the relief portion 142 is used to relieve internal components of the mobile terminal. Therefore, the avoiding part 142 can avoid the internal parts of the mobile terminal and avoid the thickness bottleneck position of the whole mobile terminal. Therefore, the soldering lug 14 does not increase the thickness of the whole mobile terminal, and is beneficial to the light and thin design of the mobile terminal. Or, the soldering lug 14 is connected with the part of the decorating part 12 correspondingly by welding, so as to avoid that the thickness of the whole mobile terminal is influenced by the overlarge soldering lug 14.

It is understood that in other embodiments, the decoration 12 can be directly fixed on the inner side of the transparent shell 11 by double-sided adhesive, so as to reduce the use of the soldering lug 14.

The outer side wall of the body 121 is welded to the tab 14. Soldering lug 14 and body 121 pass through welded connection, can strengthen the joint strength of soldering lug 14 and body 121, improve the stability of decoration 12 installation, guarantee that the camera subassembly can be stable install on transparent housing 11.

The assembly process of the housing assembly 10 is as follows: the protective lens 20 is firstly assembled on the mounting portion 122 of the decoration 12 through the first double-sided adhesive layer 13, and the decoration 12 can be firstly assembled on the transparent shell 11 through preliminary bonding directly through the third double-sided adhesive layer 16.

Then, the soldering lug 14 is firstly fixed on the inner side of the transparent shell 11 through a second double-sided adhesive layer, and then the soldering lug 14 and one end of the decorating part 12, which is positioned on the inner side of the transparent shell 11, are fixed together through spot welding, so that the reliability of the installation of the decorating part 12 on the transparent shell 11 is further ensured.

In summary, the housing assembly 10 of the mobile terminal of the present embodiment has at least the following advantages over the conventional housing assembly 10:

first, the decoration 12 of the case assembly 10 is externally mounted on the outer side of the transparent case 11, and the convex edge 123 avoids the assembly gap in the front view on the appearance surface, thereby enhancing the appearance quality of the mobile terminal. Moreover, the protruding edge 123 can cover the problem of white leakage of the transparent shell 11, thereby further improving the appearance of the transparent shell 11.

Secondly, since the convex edge 123 of the decoration 12 is located outside the transparent housing 11, the thickness of the decoration 12 does not affect the overall thickness of the mobile terminal. The width of the decoration 12 does not directly affect the opening width of the imaging hole 111, thereby ensuring the strength of the transparent housing 11.

Further, the case assembly 10 is further provided with the soldering lug 14 to weld and fix the garnish 12, thereby improving the reliability of the assembly of the garnish 12.
