This application relates to the technical field of electronic devices, and in particular, to an electronic device.
With the development of science and technologies, electronic devices have been popularized to people's life. For example, mobile phones, being convenient to carry and having practical functions, can meet daily living demands of people and therefore develop rapidly.
A photographing function of a mobile phone is necessary. In addition, a camera module and a camera decorative member of the mobile phone are upgraded continuously as a user requirement becomes higher and higher.
Because a quantity of cameras in the camera module increases continuously, a camera substrate becomes larger and larger, and a structure space required for the overall camera module also becomes larger and larger. As a result, a camera decorative structure on the back of the mobile phone protrudes from a rear cover, which diminishes an overall appearance aesthetic, and a user has a poor sense of experience of holding the mobile phone.
Embodiments of this application provide an electronic device for resolving a problem that a camera decorative structure of the electronic device protrudes from a rear cover, which diminishes an overall appearance aesthetic, and leads to a poor user experience.
To achieve the foregoing objective, the following technical solutions are used in the embodiments of this application:
This application provides an electronic device. The electronic device includes a rear cover, a mounting member, a camera assembly, and a decorative ring. The rear cover is provided with a mounting hole. The mounting member is fixed to an inner wall of the rear cover, a part of the mounting member protrudes from the mounting hole, and the part of the mounting member that protrudes from the mounting hole is provided with a fixing hole. The camera assembly includes a lens, where the lens is fixed to the fixing hole. The decorative ring is fixed to the part of the mounting member that protrudes from the mounting hole, where the decorative ring abuts against an inner wall of the mounting hole, a surface of the decorative ring away from the mounting member is a first surface, the first surface is an inclined surface, a vertical distance between an inner ring edge of the first surface and the rear cover is a first distance, a vertical distance between an outer ring edge of the first surface and the rear cover is a second distance, and the first distance is greater than the second distance.
In the electronic device provided in this application, the decorative ring is arranged between the rear cover and the part of the mounting member that protrudes from the mounting hole, the first surface of the decorative ring is arranged to be an inclined surface, and the first distance is greater than the second distance, so that a crater structure can be formed, that is, a part of the camera assembly that protrudes from the rear cover forms a gradually diffuse structure. In this way, the protruding part of the camera assembly, the rear cover of a mobile phone, and the decorative ring form an appearance integration, thereby being conducive to improving an overall aesthetic. In addition, because the first surface of the decorative ring is the inclined surface, an inclined surface for transition is formed between the protruding part of the camera assembly and an outer wall of the rear cover. When a user holds the electronic device, the decorative ring can support a palm of the user, so the user does not feel uncomfortable due to the protruding part of the camera assembly, thereby being conducive to improving user experience.
In some embodiments of this application, the electronic device further includes a connecting member. The connecting member is arranged between the inner wall of the mounting hole and an outer wall of the decorative ring, the connecting member is connected to the mounting member, and the connecting member abuts against the rear cover and the decorative ring. By fixedly connecting the connecting member and the mounting member, connection strength of an overall structure can be improved, thereby being conducive to improving overall connection stability.
In some embodiments of this application, the connecting member includes a connecting body and a snap hook. The connecting body is arranged between the inner wall of the mounting hole and the outer wall of the decorative ring. The snap hook is connected to the connecting body to be an integral structure. A snap groove is arranged on the mounting member, and the snap hook is in a snap connection to the snap groove. In this way, through the snap connection of the snap hook and the snap groove, on one hand, the connection strength of the overall structure can be improved; and on the other hand, difficulties of mounting and disassembly can be reduced, thereby facilitating disassembly and maintenance of the electronic device.
In some embodiments of this application, a surface of the connecting body away from the snap hook is a second surface, the second surface is an inclined surface, and an inclination angle of the second surface is the same as an inclination angle of the first surface. The second surface of the connecting body is arranged to be an inclined surface and the inclination angle of the second surface is arranged to be the same as the inclination angle of the first surface. In this way, the protruding part of the camera assembly and the rear cover can further form an integral structure, that is, a smooth transition between the protruding part of the camera assembly and the rear cover, to improve an overall structure aesthetic.
In some embodiments of this application, the mounting member includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rear cover. The second portion is connected to the first portion to be an integral structure, where the second portion protrudes from the mounting hole, and the second portion is provided with the fixing hole. The second portion protrudes from the mounting hole of the rear cover. In this way, the camera assembly can be mounted at the fixing hole of the second portion, so that a decorative board is fixed to the second portion, and a gradual transition structure between a camera protruding part and the rear cover can be implemented.
In some embodiments of this application, a step surface is formed at a junction of the first portion and the second portion, the step surface faces a direction away from the fixing hole, and the snap groove is arranged on the step surface.

In some embodiments of this application, a second guide inclined surface is arranged on an edge of the step surface away from the first portion, and an inclination angle of the second guide inclined surface is the same as an inclination angle of the first guide inclined surface. In this way, during mounting, when the snap hook abuts against the second portion, the first guide inclined surface and the second guide inclined surface abut against each other and slide relatively, to further reduce the difficulty of mounting.
In some embodiments of this application, an edge of the mounting hole is bent in a direction facing the mounting member to form an abutting portion, and a surface of the connecting body that faces the mounting member abuts against a surface of the abutting portion away from the mounting member. In this way, the edge of the mounting hole of the rear cover can abut between the connecting body and the mounting member, thereby further improving connection strength among the rear cover, the camera assembly, and the mounting member. In addition, it is conducive to protecting the edge of the mounting hole of the rear cover and preventing a material on the edge of the mounting hole from falling off.
In some embodiments of this application, the rear cover includes a rear cover body and a decorative layer. The decorative layer is fixed to a surface of the rear cover body away from the mounting member, where the abutting portion is formed on the decorative layer. Through the decorative layer, an overall appearance of the electronic device can be further improved, and a feeling of holding the electronic device of the user can be improved.
