The present disclosure relates to a technical field of mobile terminals, and more particularly, to a stretch releasing adhesive assembly, a housing assembly, and a mobile terminal.
An exposed pull part of a stretch releasing adhesive is susceptible to aging and breakage due to influence of water vapor in the air. When in need of being pulled, the pull breaks, and the stretch releasing adhesive cannot be pulled out, such that a component (like a battery) bonded with the stretch releasing adhesive cannot be removed easily, thereby affecting the use. In the related art, a measure that relies on the entire machine to prevent water vapor from entering a mobile phone is adopted, but this measure has a high requirement for the overall protection of the mobile phone and exerts a large influence on costs. If the mobile phone or other mobile terminals loses protection after multiple drops and collisions, the stretch releasing adhesive is easily broken due to the influence of water vapor.
The present disclosure provides a stretch releasing adhesive assembly.
The present disclosure further provides a housing assembly that includes the above stretch releasing adhesive assembly.
The present disclosure further provides a mobile terminal that includes the above stretch releasing adhesive assembly.
The stretch releasing adhesive assembly according to embodiments of the present disclosure includes: a stretch releasing adhesive layer, having a pull portion at an end of the stretch releasing adhesive layer; and a first pull layer, the first pull layer and the pull portion are superposed and connected, the first pull layer being provided with at least one tear line in a position corresponding to the pull portion.
The housing assembly according to embodiments of the present disclosure includes: a housing; a battery provided on the housing; and the above stretch releasing adhesive assembly, the stretch releasing adhesive assembly being provided between the housing and the battery, and at least a part of the pull portion going beyond an end face of the battery.

A stretch releasing adhesive assembly 100 according to embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to
As illustrated in
Specifically, the stretch releasing adhesive layer 1 is in a strip shape, an end (a left end illustrated in
The first pull layer 2 is superposed on the pull portion 11 and is connected with the pull portion 11, and the first pull layer 2 is provided with at least one tear line 23 in a position corresponding to the pull portion 11. For example, as illustrated in
It should be noted that the tear line 23 can be an incision formed by partially incising the first pull layer 2 along a length direction of the tear line 23, only a part of the first pull layer 2 is cut to from the incision, and no gap exists between parts of the first pull layers 2 on both sides of the incision. The tear line 23 is designed to protect the stretch releasing adhesive layer 1 effectively, avoid invasion of water vapor, and at the same time prevent the stretch releasing adhesive layer 1 from being bonded on two surfaces, which would otherwise cause the stretch releasing adhesive layer 1 to be unable to be pulled. For instance, in the example illustrated in
In the related art, a pull part of a stretch releasing adhesive assembly is exposed and susceptible to aging and breakage due to influence of water vapor in the air. When in need of being pulled, the pull part breaks, and the stretch releasing adhesive layer cannot be pulled out, such that a component (like a battery) bonded with the stretch releasing adhesive cannot be removed easily, thereby affecting the use.
The pull portion 11 is provided with the first pull layer 2 superposed thereon, and the first pull layer 2 is provided with at least one tear line 23, in which the tear line 23 is formed by only partially cutting the first pull layer 2 and substantially no gap is created. In a usual situation of no external force, the first pull layer 2 can satisfy a function of hiding and shielding the pull portion 11, prevent the pull portion 11 which is covered by the first pull layer 2 from being invaded by water vapor, and hence prevent the pull portion 11 from aging and breaking due to the invasion of water vapor. When repair of a mobile terminal 2000 (like a mobile phone) needs a battery 200 to be disassembled, the first pull layer 2 under stress is broken in time at the tear line 23, and the pull portion 11 is not easy to fail and break, such that the stretch releasing adhesive layer 1 can be pulled out easily, in which a drawing force causing the break at the tear line 23 can be adjusted by changing a length of the incision.
For the stretch releasing adhesive assembly 100 according to embodiments of the present disclosure, by providing the pull portion 11 of the stretch releasing adhesive layer 1 with the first pull layer 2, and providing the first pull layer 2 with at least one tear line 23, the function of hiding and shielding the pull portion 11 of the stretch releasing adhesive layer 1 can be satisfied, and the first pull layer 2 can be broken in time when in need of being pulled, such that the stretch releasing adhesive layer 1 is able to be pulled out easily.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as illustrated in
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as illustrated in
For instance, in examples illustrated by
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as illustrated in
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, an included angle α between the tear line 23 and the length direction of the stretch releasing adhesive layer 1 satisfies 0<α≤90°. Further, a satisfies 45°<α≤90°. Furthermore, α satisfies α=90°. Thus, the breakage of the first pull layer 2 at the tear line 23 can be facilitated when the first pull layer 2 is subjected to the drawing force, so as to make it easy to pull out the stretch releasing adhesive layer 1.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as illustrated in
Further, as illustrated in
Furthermore, as illustrated in
Optionally, the second pull layer 4 is provided with the tear line 23 arranged opposite to the tear line 23 on the first pull layer 2, such that it is convenient for the second pull layer 4 to break at its tear line 23 and the first pull layer 2 to break at its own tear line 23, so as to pull out the stretch releasing adhesive layer 1 easily.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the stretch releasing adhesive assembly 100 further includes a covering film 5. The covering film 5 and the stretch releasing adhesive layer 1 are superposed, and the covering film 5 is located at a side of the stretch releasing adhesive layer 1 away from the first pull layer 2, and a side of the covering film 5 away from the stretch releasing adhesive layer 1 is also provided with a double-sided adhesive 6″. As illustrated in
Further, the covering film 5 is a polyethylene terephthalate (chemical formula: COC6H4COOCH2CH2O, shortened as PET) film or a polyimide (PI) film. The covering film 5 has a width larger than or equal to the width of the stretch releasing adhesive layer 1, so as to facilitate the use of the stretch releasing adhesive layer 1.
The housing assembly 1000 according to embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to
As illustrated in
Specifically, the battery 200 is arranged on the housing 300, the stretch releasing adhesive assembly 100 is arranged between the housing 300 and the battery 200, and at least a part of the pull portion 11 goes beyond an end face of the battery 200. Thus, it is ensured that the stretch releasing adhesive layer 1 is not exposed to the outside, thereby avoiding the breakage of the stretch releasing adhesive layer 1 due to the influence of water vapor, and guaranteeing operational reliability of the stretch releasing adhesive assembly 100.
For the housing assembly 1000 according to embodiments of the present disclosure, by providing the pull portion 11 of the stretch releasing adhesive layer 1 with the first pull layer 2, and providing the first pull layer 2 with at least one tear line 23, the function of hiding and shielding the pull portion 11 of the stretch releasing adhesive layer 1 can be satisfied, and the first pull layer 2 can be broken in time when in need of being pulled, such that the stretch releasing adhesive layer 1 is able to be pulled out easily.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as illustrated in
The mobile terminal 2000 according to embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to
As illustrated in
For the terminal according to embodiments of the present disclosure, by providing the pull portion 11 of the stretch releasing adhesive layer 1 with the first pull layer 2, and providing the first pull layer 2 with at least one tear line 23, the function of hiding and shielding the pull portion 11 of the stretch releasing adhesive layer 1 can be satisfied, and the first pull layer 2 can be broken in time when in need of being pulled, such that the stretch releasing adhesive layer 1 is able to be pulled out easily.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the mobile terminal 2000 may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, or the like.
The mobile terminal 2000 according to a specific embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to
In this embodiment, the mobile terminal 2000 may be various devices capable of acquiring data from the outside and processing the data, or the mobile terminal 2000 may be any device that has a built-in battery 200 and is capable of receiving current from the outside to charge the battery 200, such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a computing device or an information display device.
The mobile phone is taken as an example to introduce the mobile terminal 2000 to which the present disclosure is applicable. The mobile phone can include an ultrasonic chip, a radio frequency circuit, a memory, an input unit, a wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) module, a display unit, a sensor, an audio circuit, a processor, a projection unit, a photographing unit, a battery 200, and a stretch releasing adhesive assembly 100, a housing assembly 1000, and other components.
Specifically, as illustrated in

As illustrated in
As illustrated in
The stretch releasing adhesive layer 1 is subjected to a bonding shear force from the battery 200 and the housing 300 when pulled, and if the first pull layer 2 is not provided with the incision (i.e. the tear line 23), the first pull layer 2 will not be broken or deformed even when subjected to a large force, and thus the first pull layer 2 cannot be pulled to move. With the tear line 23, not only the function of hiding and shielding the stretch releasing adhesive layer 1 can be satisfied, but also the first pull layer 2 breaks in time when in need of being pulled, so as to enable the stretch releasing adhesive layer 1 to be pulled out easily.
The display unit can be embedded in a front side of the mobile terminal 2000 and coupled with the housing 300. The display unit can be configured to display information input by or presented to the user, and various menus of the mobile phone. The display unit can include a display panel, and optionally, the display panel can be configured in forms of a liquid crystal display (LCD), an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) and the like. Further, the touch panel can overlay the display panel; when the touch panel detects a touch operation on or near it, the touch operation is sent to the processor to determine which type the touch event belongs to, and then the processor provides corresponding visual output on the display panel according to the type of the touch event. The location, which can be recognized by the user's eye in the display panel, besides the visual output, can serve as a “display area” described later. The touch panel and the display panel can be two separate components to achieve input and output functions of the mobile phone, or can be integrated to achieve the input and output functions of the mobile phone.
The radio-frequency (RF) circuit can be used to receive and transmit a signal during information transmission and reception or during a call. Especially, when downlink information from a base station is received, the RF circuit sends the downlink information to the processor for processing, and additionally sends uplink data from the mobile phone to the base station. Usually, the RF circuit includes but is not limited to an antenna, at least one amplifier, a transceiver, a coupler, a low-noise amplifier, a duplexer and etc. In addition, the RF circuit can communicate with the network and other devices via wireless communication. The wireless communication can employ any communication standard or protocol, including but not limited to global system for mobile communication (GSM), general packet radio service (GPRS), code division multiple access (CDMA), wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA), long term evolution (LTE), e-mail and short messaging service (SMS).
The memory can be used to store software programs and modules, and the processor runs various software applications in the mobile phone and performs data processing by running the software programs and modules stored in the memory. The memory can mainly include a program storage area and a data storage area. The program storage area can store an operating system, at least one application program required for a function (such as a voice playback function, an image playback function and etc.); the data storage area can store data (such as audio data, contacts and etc.) created according to the use of the mobile phone. In addition, the memory can include a high-speed random access memory, and can also include a non-volatile memory, such as at least one disk storage device and flash memory device, or include other volatile solid state memory devices.
The input unit can be configured to receive incoming numbers or character information, and generate a key signal related to user settings and function control of the mobile phone. Specifically, the input unit can include a touch panel and other input devices. The touch panel, also known as a touch screen, can collect a touch operation made by a user on or near the touch panel (for example, an operation made by the user on the touch panel or near the touch panel by means of a finger, a touch pen or any other suitable object or accessory), and drive the corresponding connection device according to a preset program. Optionally, the touch panel can include a touch detection device and a touch controller. The touch detection device is configured to detect a touch orientation of the user, detect a signal from the touch operation, and transmit the signal to the touch controller. The touch controller is configured to receive the touch signal from the touch detection device, convert it into contact coordinates and send the contact coordinates to the processor, and can be configured to receive and execute a command from the processor. In addition, it is possible to realize the touch panel in resistive type, capacitive type, infrared type, surface acoustic wave type and other types. The input unit can include other input devices apart from the touch panel. Specifically, other input devices can include, but are not limited to one or more of a physical keypad, a function key (e.g. a volume control button, an on/off button, etc.), a trackball, a mouse and an operating rod.
In addition, the mobile phone can also include at least one sensor, such as an attitude sensor, a light sensor and other sensors.
Specifically, the attitude sensor can also be referred as a motion sensor, and as one kind of motion sensor, a gravity sensor can be employed. As for the gravity sensor, a cantilever displacement device is made of an elastic-sensitive element, and an electrical contact is driven by an energy-storage spring made of the elastic-sensitive element, so as to achieve the conversion of gravity changes into electrical signal changes.
As an alternative motion sensor, an accelerometer sensor can be used. The accelerometer sensor can detect the magnitude of acceleration in all directions (generally in three axes), and detect the magnitude and direction of the gravity at rest, and can be used for attitude identification of the mobile phone (such as horizontal and vertical screen switch, related games, magnetometer attitude calibration), and vibration-recognition related functions (such as pedometer and percussion).
In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the motion sensors listed above can be used as an element for obtaining an “attitude parameter” described later, which is not limited thereto, however. Other sensors capable of obtaining the “attitude parameter” fall into the protection scope of the present disclosure, for example, a gyroscope. The working principle and data processing of the gyroscope can be similar to the related art, so the detailed description thereof will be omitted to avoid redundancy.
In addition, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, a barometer, a hygrometer, a thermometer, an infrared sensor and the like can be used as a sensor, which will not be described in detail.
The light sensor can include an ambient light sensor and a proximity sensor, in which the ambient light sensor can adjust brightness of the display panel in accordance with the ambient light, and the proximity sensor can turn off the display panel and/or backlight when the mobile phone is moved to the ear.
The audio circuit, the loudspeaker and the microphone can provide an audio interface between the user and the mobile phone. The audio circuit can transmit an electrical signal converted from the received audio data to the loudspeaker, and the loudspeaker converts the electrical signal into an audio signal to be output. On the other hand, the microphone converts the collected audio signal into the electrical signal, and the audio circuit receives and converts the electrical signal into audio data, and transmits the audio data to the processor. After processed by the processor, the audio data is sent to, for example, another mobile phone via the RF circuit, or is output to the memory for further processing.
Wi-Fi is a short distance wireless transmission technology, and the mobile phone can help the user send and receive e-mails, browse websites, and access streaming media through the Wi-Fi module which provides the user with wireless broadband access to the Internet.
The processor is a control center of the mobile phone, is connected to various parts of the mobile phone by means a variety of interfaces and lines, and performs various functions of the mobile phone and data processing by running or executing software programs and/or modules stored in the memory and by invoking the data stored in the memory, so as to monitor the mobile phone overall. Optionally, the processor can include one or more processing units; preferably, the processor can be integrated with an application processor and a modem processor, in which the application processor mainly handles the operating system, the user interface and the application program, while the modem processor mainly deals with wireless communication.
It could be understood that the modem processor may not be integrated into the processor.
Moreover, the processor can act as an implementing element of the processing unit, to perform the same or similar function as the processing unit.
It should be noted that the mobile phone is only an example of the electronic device 1 and is not constructed to limit the present disclosure. The present disclosure can be applied to the electronic device 1 such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer and so on, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
