Embodiments of this application provide a cover body structure, a back cover, and an electronic device, which can improve the structural strength of the cover body structure while ensuring the appearance delicacy of the cover body structure.

To achieve the foregoing objective, the following technical solutions are used in the embodiments of this application:.

According to a first aspect, some embodiments of this application provide a cover body structure. The cover body structure includes a glass cover plate comprising an outer surface, an inner surface, and a first side surface located between an edge circumference of the outer surface and an edge circumference of the inner surface, a first ink layer, a first glue layer, and a plastic edge portion. The first ink layer is disposed at least on an edge of the glass cover plate; the first glue layer is disposed on the first ink layer on the edge of the glass cover plate; and the plastic edge portion is disposed on the first glue layer on the edge of the glass cover plate, the first glue layer is a glue layer viscous at least at an injection molding temperature of the plastic edge portion, and the first ink layer is an ink layer that is able to withstand the injection molding temperature of the plastic edge portion. The glass cover plate further comprises a first step surface and a second side surface, the first step surface is located outside an edge of the outer surface, both the first step surface and the outer surface face a side that is of a plane on which the outer surface is located and that is away from a plane on which the inner surface is located, the first step surface has an outer edge away from a center of the outer surface and an inner edge close to the center of the outer surface, the outer edge of the first step surface is connected to an edge of the first side surface close to the outer surface, the second side surface is connected between the inner edge of the first step surface and the outer surface, and a distance from the first step surface to the inner surface is less than a distance from the outer surface to the inner surface. The first ink layer is disposed at least on the first step surface, the first glue layer is disposed at least on the first ink layer on the first step surface, and the plastic edge portion is disposed on the first side surface, the first glue layer on the first step surface, and the second side surface.

In the foregoing technical solutions, because the first ink layer and the first glue layer are added between the edge of the glass cover plate and the plastic edge portion, and the bonding strength between an ink material and a glass material is better, the roughness of a surface of the glass cover plate can be improved by using the first ink layer. When the glass cover plate is bonded to the plastic edge portion by using the first glue layer, the first glue layer can penetrate a micro recessed region on a surface of the first ink layer, which increases an actual bonding area between the glass cover plate and the plastic edge portion in a unit region, thereby increasing a bonding force between the glass cover plate and the plastic edge portion. In addition, because the first glue layer is a glue layer viscous at least at the injection molding temperature of the plastic edge portion, and the first ink layer is an ink layer that is able to withstand the injection molding temperature of the plastic edge portion, the plastic edge portion can be molded on the edge of the glass cover plate through an injection molding process to match an edge size of the glass cover plate by using a molten plastic material that does not have a specific shape, thereby ensuring the appearance delicacy of the cover body structure.

In a possible implementation of the first aspect, the first glue layer is a thermally activated glue layer, activated in a first temperature range, and solidified in a second temperature range; the first temperature range includes the injection molding temperature of the plastic edge portion; and a maximum temperature value of the second temperature range is less than a minimum temperature value of the first temperature range. In this way, after the first glue layer is disposed on the first ink layer on the edge of the glass cover plate, the first glue layer may be heated or cooled to the second temperature range to solidify the first glue layer, which helps to transport the glass cover plate provided with the first ink layer and the first glue layer to the injection molding machine, thereby avoiding an undesirable phenomenon such as being bonded to another device or being scraped during transportation.

In a possible implementation of the first aspect, the thermally activated glue layer is in a fluid state and viscous at a temperature of <NUM> to <NUM>, and is in a solid state and not viscous at <NUM> to <NUM>.

In a possible implementation of the first aspect, the second temperature range includes a temperature range in a normal temperature state. In this way, after the first glue layer is disposed on the first ink layer on the edge of the glass cover plate, the first glue layer can be solidified as long as the first glue layer is cooled to a normal temperature. Therefore, no other heating or cooling device is needed to maintain the temperature of the first glue layer to keep the first glue layer in a solidified state during transportation.

In a possible implementation of the first aspect, a material of the first glue layer includes at least one of organic silica glue, phenolic resin glue, urea-formaldehyde resin glue, temperature-resistant epoxy glue, or polyimide glue.

The glass cover plate includes an outer surface, an inner surface, and a first side surface located between an edge circumference of the outer surface and an edge circumference of the inner surface, the glass cover plate further includes a first step surface and a second side surface, the first step surface is located outside an edge of the outer surface, both the first step surface and the outer surface face a side that is of a plane on which the outer surface is located and that is away from a plane on which the inner surface is located, the first step surface has an outer edge away from a center of the outer surface and an inner edge close to the center of the outer surface, the outer edge of the first step surface is connected to an edge of the first side surface close to the outer surface, the second side surface is connected between the inner edge of the first step surface and the outer surface, and a distance from the first step surface to the inner surface is less than a distance from the outer surface to the inner surface; and the first ink layer is disposed at least on the first step surface, the first glue layer is disposed at least on the first ink layer on the first step surface, and the plastic edge portion is disposed on the first side surface, the first glue layer on the first step surface, and the second side surface. In this way, when the plastic edge portion is molded on the first side surface, the first glue layer on the first step surface, and the second side surface through an injection molding process, an outer surface of the plastic edge portion can be continuously connected to the outer surface of the glass cover plate, thereby ensuring the appearance delicacy of the cover body structure.

The plastic edge portion is disposed on the first side surface on the edge of the glass cover plate, the first glue layer on the first step surface, and the second side surface, and the plastic edge portion can form an inward buckling structure. When the cover body structure is applied to a housing of the electronic device, the plastic edge portion can apply a force directed to an inner side of the glass cover plate to the glass cover plate, to prevent the glass cover plate from falling off the plastic edge portion.

In this way, a bonding area between the plastic edge portion and the glass cover plate can be increased by using the second step surface and the third side surface, thereby further increasing a bonding force between the plastic edge portion and the glass cover plate, and improving the structural strength of the cover body structure. The second step surface and the third side surface may further cooperate with positioning posts to position the glass cover plate on the injection molding machine.

In a possible implementation of the second aspect, the back cover further includes a second ink layer and a second glue layer. The second ink layer is disposed at least on the edge of the back cover body at the opening.

In the embodiments of this application, terms "first" and "second" are used merely for the purpose of description, and shall not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implying a quantity of indicated technical features. Therefore, features defining "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more such features.

It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, the terms "include", "comprise", and any variants thereof are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion. Therefore, in the context of a process, method, object, or apparatus that includes a series of elements, the process, method, object, or apparatus not only includes such elements, but also includes other elements not specified expressly, or may include inherent elements of the process, method, object, or apparatus. Without more limitations, elements defined by the sentence "including one" does not exclude that there are still other same elements in the processes, methods, objects, or apparatuses.

This application provides an electronic device. The electronic device may be a portable electronic apparatus or another suitable electronic apparatus. For example, the electronic device may be a notebook computer, a tablet computer, a smaller device such as a mobile phone, a watch, a pendant device or another wearable or micro device, a cellular phone, or a media player.

<FIG> is a front view of an electronic device according to some embodiments of this application. <FIG> is an exploded view of the electronic device shown in <FIG>. <FIG> is a schematic cross-sectional structural diagram of the electronic device shown in <FIG> along an A-A direction. In the embodiments, the electronic device is a mobile phone. The electronic device includes a front cover plate <NUM>, a middle frame <NUM>, a back cover <NUM>, a display module <NUM>, and a camera module <NUM>.

The middle frame <NUM> includes a middle plate <NUM> and a frame <NUM> arranged around an edge circumference of the middle plate <NUM>. The front cover plate <NUM> and the back cover <NUM> are stacked on two opposite sides of the middle plate <NUM> and fixed to the frame <NUM>. The front cover plate <NUM>, the back cover <NUM>, and the frame <NUM> form a part of a housing of the electronic device.

The display module <NUM> is configured to display an image or a video. The display module <NUM> is attached to a surface of the front cover plate <NUM> close to the middle plate <NUM>. A display surface of the display module <NUM> faces the front cover plate <NUM>. The front cover plate <NUM> is configured to protect the display module <NUM> and transmit image light of the display module <NUM>.

The camera module <NUM> is a rear-facing camera module. The camera module <NUM> is disposed between the middle plate <NUM> and the back cover <NUM>. At present, due to the limitation of the structural complexity, a size of the camera module <NUM> along an optical axis is difficult to shrink. In addition, as users pursue an ultra-thin electronic device body, an electronic device is becoming increasingly thin. Therefore, to avoid the camera module <NUM>, the back cover <NUM> includes a back cover body <NUM>. An opening <NUM> is provided on the back cover body <NUM>. An object side end of the camera module <NUM> (that is, an end of the camera module <NUM> close to a photographed landscape during working) stretches into the opening <NUM>. On this basis, in order to protect the camera module, the back cover <NUM> further includes a decorative cover <NUM>. The decorative cover <NUM> is installed at the opening <NUM> and fixed to an edge of the back cover at the opening <NUM>. The decorative cover <NUM> covers the object side end of the camera module <NUM> to protect the camera module <NUM>, and the decorative cover <NUM> is provided with a light-transmissive region. The light-transmissive region is opposite to a light-incident surface of the camera module <NUM>. The decorative cover <NUM> also forms a part of the housing of the electronic device.

Because the glass cover plate is characterized by good light transmission and low price, and the plastic is characterized by being easy to form a curved appearance and low costs, the cover body structure including the glass cover plate and a plastic edge portion disposed on an edge of the glass cover plate has been widely applied to the electronic device shown in <FIG>. For example, the front cover plate <NUM> includes a light-transmissive glass cover plate and a plastic edge portion disposed on an edge of the glass cover plate. The plastic edge portion is configured to meet <NUM>. 5D or 3D appearance design requirements of the front cover plate <NUM>. In another example, the decorative cover <NUM> includes a glass cover plate and a plastic edge portion disposed around an edge circumference of the glass cover plate. The plastic edge portion is configured to fix relative positions of the glass cover plate and the back cover <NUM> and seal a gap between the edge circumference of the glass cover plate and the edge circumference of the back cover at the opening <NUM>.

To mold the cover body structure including the glass cover plate and the plastic edge portion, the glass cover plate and the plastic edge portion may be molded separately, and the glass cover plate and the plastic edge portion with a determinate shape are then assembled through gluing. However, in this way, a gap usually occurs between the glass cover plate and a plastic frame due to the limitation of processing accuracy or assembly accuracy, which makes it difficult to ensure the appearance delicacy of the cover body structure. To resolve the problem, the plastic edge portion may be directly molded on the edge of the glass cover plate through an injection molding process to match an edge size of the glass cover plate by using a molten plastic material in an indeterminate shape, thereby avoiding occurrence of a gap between the plastic edge portion and the glass cover plate, and further ensuring the appearance delicacy of the cover body structure. However, due to a weak bonding force between glass and plastic, if the plastic edge portion is directly molded on a surface of the glass cover plate, the connection strength between the plastic edge portion and the glass cover plate is relatively low, which further causes relatively low structural strength of the cover body structure.

In order to improve the structural strength of the cover body structure while ensuring the appearance delicacy of the cover body structure, this application provides a cover body structure. The cover body structure forms a part of the housing of the electronic device. Specifically, the cover body structure may be a front cover plate of the electronic device or a decorative cover of a camera module of the electronic device, which is not specifically limited herein.

<FIG> is a schematic cross-sectional structural diagram of a cover body structure <NUM> according to the present invention. The cover body structure <NUM> includes a glass cover plate <NUM>, a first ink layer <NUM>, a first glue layer <NUM>, and a plastic edge portion <NUM>.

The first side surface <NUM> is an annular surface surrounding the edge circumference of the outer surface <NUM> (or the inner surface <NUM>). The first side surface <NUM> may be perpendicular to the outer surface <NUM> (or the inner surface <NUM>), or may tilt relative to the outer surface <NUM> (or the inner surface <NUM>). This is not specifically limited herein. In the embodiment shown in <FIG>, the first side surface <NUM> is perpendicular to the outer surface <NUM> (or the inner surface <NUM>). This cannot be considered as a special limitation on this application.

An edge of the first side surface <NUM> close to the outer surface <NUM> may be connected to the edge circumference of the outer surface <NUM>, or may be separated from a part of an edge of the outer surface <NUM> by using a middle surface, or may be separated from the edge circumference of the outer surface <NUM> by using a middle surface.

This cannot be considered as a special limitation on this application.

In this embodiment of this application, an edge region of the outer surface <NUM>, a middle surface between the outer surface <NUM> and the first side surface <NUM>, the first side surface <NUM>, a middle surface between the first side surface <NUM> and the inner surface <NUM>, and an edge region of the inner surface <NUM> form an edge of the glass cover plate <NUM>.

The first ink layer <NUM> may be at least one of a black ink layer, a color ink layer, a white ink layer, or a transparent ink layer. This is not specifically limited herein.

The first ink layer <NUM> is disposed at least on the edge of the glass cover plate <NUM>. That is, the first ink layer <NUM> may be disposed on only the edge of the glass cover plate <NUM>, or the first ink layer <NUM> may be disposed on another region of the glass cover plate <NUM> such as a central region of the inner surface <NUM> in addition to the edge of the glass cover plate <NUM>.

A part of the first ink layer <NUM> disposed on the edge of the glass cover plate <NUM> may be disposed on a partial region of the edge of the glass cover plate <NUM>, for example, the edge region of the outer surface <NUM>, the middle surface between the outer surface <NUM> and the first side surface <NUM>, the middle surface between the first side surface <NUM> and the inner surface <NUM>, or the edge region of the inner surface <NUM>, or may be disposed on an entire region of the edge of the glass cover plate <NUM>. This is not specifically limited herein.

The first ink layer <NUM> may be disposed at least on the edge of the glass cover plate <NUM> through at least one of a glass direct molding (glass direct molding, GDM) process, a silk screen printing process, or a pad printing process. This is not specifically limited herein.

The first glue layer <NUM> is disposed on the first ink layer <NUM> on the edge of the glass cover plate <NUM>. In some embodiments, the first glue layer <NUM> may be disposed on the first ink layer <NUM> on the edge of the glass cover plate <NUM> through at least one of a blade coating process, a roll coating process, a dip coating process, or a spray coating process. This is not specifically limited herein.

The material of the plastic edge portion <NUM> includes, but is not limited to, at least one of polyethylene glycol terephthalate (polyethylene glycol terephthalate, PET), polyphenylene sulfide (polyphenylene sulfide, PPS), or polyethylene (polyethylene, PE).

The plastic edge portion <NUM> is molded at least on the first glue layer <NUM> on the edge of the glass cover plate <NUM> through an injection molding process. That is, the plastic edge portion <NUM> is molded on the edge of the glass cover plate <NUM> through an injection molding process, and at least a part of the plastic edge portion <NUM> covers the first glue layer <NUM>.

The plastic edge portion <NUM> may be molded on one side edge of the glass cover plate <NUM>, two side edges opposite to each other, or three adjacent side edges, or may be molded on the edge circumference of the glass cover plate <NUM>. This is not specifically limited herein. In the embodiment shown in <FIG>, the plastic edge portion <NUM> is molded on the edge circumference of the glass cover plate <NUM> through an injection molding process. This cannot be considered as a special limitation on this application.

The injection molding process of the plastic edge portion <NUM> may be as follows: First, the glass cover plate <NUM> provided with the first ink layer <NUM> and the first glue layer <NUM> is carried on and fixed to a preset position on an injection molding machine; second, an injection mold is closed (that is, a mold closing process), to enclose a mold cavity with the same shape as a contour shape of the plastic edge portion <NUM>, and connect the mold cavity to the edge of the glass cover plate <NUM>; next, a molten plastic material is injected into the mold cavity by using pressure, and the molten plastic material is bonded at least to the first glue layer <NUM> on the edge of the glass cover plate <NUM>; and finally, the plastic material is cooled to solidify the plastic material, and the solidified plastic material is the plastic edge portion <NUM>.

The plastic edge portion <NUM> is molded at least on the first glue layer <NUM> on the edge of the glass cover plate <NUM> through an injection molding process, and during the injection molding process, the plastic material in a molten state is in contact with the first glue layer <NUM>. Therefore, to avoid a case that the first glue layer <NUM> loses viscosity during the injection molding process, the first glue layer <NUM> needs to be a glue layer viscous at least at an injection molding temperature of the plastic edge portion <NUM> (that is, a temperature of the plastic material in a molten state). For example, if the injection molding temperature of the plastic edge portion <NUM> is <NUM> to <NUM>, the first glue layer <NUM> is a glue layer viscous at least at a temperature of <NUM> to <NUM>.

The first glue layer <NUM> may be a glue layer viscous at all temperatures, or may be a glue layer viscous only at the injection molding temperature of the plastic edge portion <NUM>, or may be a glue layer viscous in a relatively large temperature range including the injection molding temperature of the plastic edge portion <NUM>. This is not specifically limited herein.

In some embodiments, the first glue layer <NUM> is a thermally activated glue layer. The thermally activated glue layer is a type of glue layer that is in a fluid state and viscous at a relatively high temperature and that is solid and not viscous at a relatively low temperature. For example, the thermally activated glue layer is in a fluid state and viscous at a temperature of <NUM> to <NUM>, and is solid and not viscous at <NUM> to <NUM>. Specifically, the first glue layer <NUM> is activated in a first temperature range. In this case, the first glue layer <NUM> is viscous. The first temperature range includes the injection molding temperature of the plastic edge portion <NUM>. Specifically, the first temperature range may include only the injection molding temperature of the plastic edge portion <NUM>, or may be a relatively large temperature range including the injection molding temperature of the plastic edge portion <NUM>. This is not specifically limited herein. The first glue layer <NUM> is solidified in a second temperature range. A maximum temperature value of the second temperature range is less than a minimum temperature value of the first temperature range. In this way, after the first glue layer <NUM> is disposed on the first ink layer <NUM> on the edge of the glass cover plate <NUM>, the first glue layer <NUM> may be heated or cooled to the second temperature range to solidify the first glue layer <NUM>, which helps to transport the glass cover plate <NUM> provided with the first ink layer <NUM> and the first glue layer <NUM> to the injection molding machine, thereby avoiding an undesirable phenomenon such as being bonded to another device or being scraped during transportation.

In the foregoing embodiment, specific values of the first temperature range and the second temperature range are not limited, as long as the first temperature range includes the injection molding temperature of the plastic edge portion <NUM> and the maximum temperature value of the second temperature range is less than the minimum temperature value of the first temperature range.

In some embodiments, the second temperature range of the first glue layer <NUM> includes a temperature range in a normal temperature state. In this way, after the first glue layer <NUM> is disposed on the first ink layer <NUM> on the edge of the glass cover plate <NUM>, the first glue layer <NUM> can be solidified as long as the first glue layer <NUM> is cooled to a normal temperature. Therefore, no other heating or cooling device is needed to maintain the temperature of the first glue layer <NUM> to keep the first glue layer <NUM> in a solidified state during transportation.

A material of the first glue layer <NUM> may include at least one of organic silica glue, phenolic resin glue, urea-formaldehyde resin glue, temperature-resistant epoxy glue, or polyimide glue. This is not specifically limited herein.

Similarly, the plastic edge portion <NUM> is molded at least on the first glue layer <NUM> on the edge circumference of the glass cover plate <NUM> through an injection molding process; and during the injection molding process, the plastic material in a molten state is in contact with the first glue layer <NUM>, the first ink layer <NUM> is adjacent to the first glue layer <NUM>, and the temperature of the plastic material in a molten state is inevitably transferred to the first ink layer <NUM>. Therefore, in order to prevent an undesirable phenomenon such as discoloring or falling off the glass cover plate <NUM> due to being heated from occurring in the first ink layer <NUM>, the first ink layer <NUM> needs to be an ink layer that can withstand the injection molding temperature of the plastic edge portion <NUM>. For example, if the injection molding temperature of the plastic edge portion <NUM> is <NUM> to <NUM>, the first ink layer <NUM> is an ink layer that can withstand a temperature of <NUM>. In another example, if the injection molding temperature of the plastic edge portion <NUM> is <NUM>, the first ink layer <NUM> is an ink layer that can withstand a temperature of <NUM>.

In this embodiment of this application, because the plastic edge portion <NUM> is molded on the edge of the glass cover plate <NUM> through an injection molding process and matches an edge size of the glass cover plate <NUM> in this process by using a molten plastic material that does not have a specific shape, an outer surface of the plastic edge portion <NUM> can be continuously connected to the outer surface of the glass cover plate <NUM>, thereby ensuring the appearance delicacy of the cover body structure <NUM>. In addition, because the first ink layer <NUM> is disposed at least on the edge of the glass cover plate <NUM>, and a bonding force per unit area between an ink layer and glass is greater than a bonding force in a unit bonding area between plastic and glass when the plastic is directly molded on the glass through an injection molding process, it can be learned that a bonding force between the first ink layer <NUM> and the glass cover plate <NUM> is larger. Further, the first glue layer <NUM> is disposed at least on the first ink layer <NUM> on the edge of the glass cover plate <NUM>, a bonding force per unit area between a glue layer and ink is also greater than a bonding force in a unit bonding area between plastic and glass when the plastic is directly molded on the glass through an injection molding process. Therefore, it can be learned that a bonding force between the first glue layer <NUM> and the first ink layer <NUM> is larger. Still further, because the plastic edge portion <NUM> is disposed at least on the first glue layer <NUM> on the edge of the glass cover plate <NUM> through an injection molding process, and a bonding force per unit area between plastic and a glue layer is greater than a bonding force in a unit bonding area between plastic and glass when the plastic is directly molded on the glass through an injection molding process, a bonding force between the plastic edge portion <NUM> and the first glue layer <NUM> is larger. Based on the above, bonding forces per unit area of bonding surfaces of different media between the edge of the glass cover plate <NUM> and the plastic edge portion <NUM> are all greater than a bonding force in a unit bonding area between plastic and glass when the plastic is directly molded on the glass through an injection molding process. Therefore, the structural strength of the cover body structure <NUM> provided in this embodiment of this application is larger.

In the foregoing embodiment, structure forms of the edge of the glass cover plate <NUM> may be various. Correspondingly, disposition positions of the first ink layer <NUM>, the first glue layer <NUM>, and the plastic edge portion <NUM> are also different. Specifically, the structure forms of the edge of the glass cover plate <NUM> and the disposition positions of the first ink layer <NUM>, the first glue layer <NUM>, and the plastic edge portion <NUM> may include the following embodiment <NUM> to embodiment <NUM>.

Embodiment <NUM>: Still referring to <FIG>, the glass cover plate <NUM> includes the outer surface <NUM>, the inner surface <NUM>, and the first side surface <NUM> located between the edge circumference of the outer surface <NUM> and the edge circumference of the inner surface <NUM>. In addition, the glass cover plate <NUM> further includes a first step surface <NUM> and a second side surface <NUM>.

In some embodiments, the first step surface <NUM> and the second side surface <NUM> are processed and molded by using a milling cutter on a computer numerical control (computer numerical control, CNC) machine tool.

The first step surface <NUM> is located outside an edge of the outer surface <NUM>. That is, the first step surface <NUM> is located on a side of the edge of the outer surface <NUM> away from a center of the outer surface <NUM>.

The first step surface <NUM> may be a relatively small surface located outside one side edge of the outer surface <NUM>, or may be a relatively large annular surface disposed around an edge circumference of the outer surface <NUM>. This is not specifically limited herein. In the embodiment shown in <FIG>, the first step surface <NUM> is an annular surface disposed around the edge circumference of the outer surface <NUM>. This cannot be considered as a special limitation on this application.

Both the first step surface <NUM> and the outer surface <NUM> face a side that is of a plane on which the outer surface <NUM> is located and that is away from a plane on which the inner surface <NUM> is located. In other words, that is, if a part of space located on the side that is of the plane on which the outer surface <NUM> is located and that is away from the plane on which the inner surface <NUM> is located is defined as an outer space of the glass cover plate <NUM>, the first step surface <NUM> and the outer surface <NUM> are both opposite to the outer space of the glass cover plate <NUM>.

The first step surface <NUM> has an outer edge disposed away from the center of the outer surface <NUM> and an inner edge disposed close to the center of the outer surface <NUM>. The outer edge of the first step surface <NUM> is connected to an edge of the first side surface <NUM> close to the outer surface <NUM>. The second side surface <NUM> is connected between the inner edge of the first step surface <NUM> and the outer surface <NUM>. A distance from the first step surface <NUM> to the inner surface <NUM> is less than a distance from the outer surface <NUM> to the inner surface <NUM>. That is, a distance from each part of the first step surface <NUM> to the inner surface <NUM> is less than the distance from the outer surface <NUM> to the inner surface <NUM>.

The first step surface <NUM> may be a plane or a curved surface. This is not specifically limited herein. When the first step surface <NUM> is a plane, the first step surface <NUM> may be parallel to the outer surface <NUM> (or the inner surface <NUM>), or may tilt relative to the outer surface <NUM> (or the inner surface <NUM>). This is not specifically limited herein.

The second side surface <NUM> may be a plane or a curved surface. This is not specifically limited herein. The second side surface <NUM> may be perpendicular to the outer surface <NUM> (or the inner surface <NUM>), or may tilt relative to the outer surface <NUM> (or the inner surface <NUM>). This is not specifically limited herein.

The first ink layer <NUM> is disposed at least on the first step surface <NUM>, the first glue layer <NUM> is disposed at least on the first ink layer <NUM> on the first step surface <NUM>, and the plastic edge portion <NUM> is molded at least on the first side surface <NUM>, the first glue layer <NUM> on the first step surface <NUM>, and the second side surface <NUM> through an injection molding process.

In this way, in the first aspect, because the plastic edge portion <NUM> is molded on the first side surface <NUM>, the first glue layer <NUM> on the first step surface <NUM>, and the second side surface <NUM> through an injection molding process, an outer surface of the plastic edge portion <NUM> can be continuously connected to the outer surface of the glass cover plate <NUM>, thereby ensuring the appearance delicacy of the cover body structure <NUM>. In the second aspect, both the first step surface <NUM> and the outer surface <NUM> face the side that is of the plane on which the outer surface <NUM> is located and that is away from the plane on which the inner surface <NUM> is located, the first ink layer <NUM> is disposed on the first step surface <NUM>, and the first glue layer <NUM> is disposed on the first ink layer <NUM> on the first step surface <NUM>, thereby facilitating the arrangement of the first ink layer <NUM> and the first glue layer <NUM> on the edge of the glass cover plate <NUM>. In the third aspect, because the plastic edge portion <NUM> is molded on the first side surface <NUM> on the edge of the glass cover plate <NUM>, the first glue layer <NUM> on the first step surface <NUM>, and the second side surface <NUM> through an injection molding process, the plastic edge portion <NUM> can form an inward buckling structure. When the cover body structure <NUM> is applied to a housing of the electronic device, the plastic edge portion <NUM> can apply a force directed to an inner side of the glass cover plate <NUM> (that is, a side that is of a plane on which the inner surface <NUM> is located and that is away from a plane on which the outer surface <NUM> is located) to the glass cover plate <NUM>, to prevent the glass cover plate <NUM> from falling off the plastic edge portion <NUM>.

In the foregoing embodiment, an edge of the first side surface <NUM> close to the inner surface <NUM> may be connected to the edge circumference of the inner surface <NUM>, or may be separated from at least a part of an edge of the inner surface <NUM> by using a middle surface. This is not specifically limited herein. Specifically, a connection form between the first side surface <NUM> and the inner surface <NUM> and disposition positions of the first ink layer <NUM>, the first glue layer <NUM>, and the plastic edge portion <NUM> may include the following first implementation to third implementation.

The first implementation: Still referring to <FIG>, the edge of the first side surface <NUM> close to the inner surface <NUM> is directly connected to the edge circumference of the inner surface <NUM>.

On this basis, to fix the glass cover plate <NUM> provided with the first ink layer <NUM> and the first glue layer <NUM> to a preset position on an injection molding machine before the plastic edge portion <NUM> is injection molded, in some embodiments, referring to <FIG> being a three-dimensional view of the cover body structure <NUM> according to some other embodiments of this application, a central region of the inner surface <NUM> of the glass cover plate <NUM> is provided with at least one positioning groove <NUM>. The at least one positioning groove <NUM> is used for cooperating with positioning posts on the injection molding machine to fix the glass cover plate <NUM> provided with the first ink layer <NUM> and the first glue layer <NUM> to the preset position on the injection molding machine, to facilitate a subsequent operation of molding the plastic edge portion <NUM> on the edge of the glass cover plate <NUM>.

The positioning groove <NUM> may be a through groove that passes through the glass cover plate <NUM> or a groove that does not passes through the glass cover plate <NUM>. This is not specifically limited herein.

The positioning groove <NUM> may be a rectangular groove, a square groove, a triangular groove, a circular groove, a kidney-shaped groove, or the like. <FIG> only shows an example in which the positioning groove <NUM> is a rectangular groove. This cannot be considered as a special limitation on this application.

There may be one or more positioning grooves <NUM>. <FIG> only shows an example in which there is one positioning groove <NUM>. This cannot be considered as a special limitation on this application.

It should be noted that, when the positioning groove <NUM> is a circular groove, to position the glass cover plate <NUM>, a plurality of positioning grooves <NUM> are needed.

In addition, it should be noted that, when the positioning groove <NUM> is a through groove passing through the glass cover plate <NUM>, after the plastic edge portion <NUM> is molded on the edge of the glass cover plate <NUM>, the positioning groove <NUM> needs to be filled with a transparent material to ensure the appearance of the glass cover plate <NUM>.

The second implementation: The edge of the first side surface <NUM> close to the inner surface <NUM> is separated from at least a part of the edge of the inner surface <NUM> by using a middle surface. Specifically, <FIG> is a three-dimensional view of the glass cover plate <NUM> in the cover body structure <NUM> according to some embodiments of this application. The glass cover plate <NUM> further includes a second step surface <NUM> and a third side surface <NUM>.

In some embodiments, the second step surface <NUM> and the third side surface <NUM> are processed and molded by using a milling cutter on a computer numerical control (computer numerical control, CNC) machine tool.

The second step surface <NUM> is located outside an edge of the inner surface <NUM>. That is, the second step surface <NUM> is located on a side of the edge of the inner surface <NUM> away from a center of the inner surface <NUM>.

The second step surface <NUM> may be a relatively small surface located outside one side edge of the inner surface <NUM>, or may be a relatively large annular surface disposed around an edge circumference of the inner surface <NUM>. This is not specifically limited herein. In the embodiment shown in <FIG>, the second step surface <NUM> is a relatively small surface located outside one side edge of the inner surface <NUM>. This cannot be considered as a special limitation on this application.

When the second step surface <NUM> is a relatively small surface located outside one side edge of the inner surface <NUM>, there may be one or more second step surfaces <NUM>. This is not specifically limited herein. When there are a plurality of second step surfaces <NUM>, the plurality of second step surfaces <NUM> are arranged along the edge of the inner surface <NUM>. Specifically, a quantity of the plurality of second step surfaces <NUM> may be <NUM>, <NUM>, <NUM>, <NUM>, <NUM>, <NUM>, or the like. This is not specifically limited herein. <FIG> only shows an example in which there are four second step surfaces <NUM>. This cannot be considered as a special limitation on this application. In some other embodiments, <FIG> is a three-dimensional view of the glass cover plate <NUM> in the cover body structure <NUM> according to some other embodiments of this application. The quantity of the plurality of second step surfaces <NUM> is <NUM>.

Both the second step surface <NUM> and the inner surface <NUM> face a side that is of a plane on which the inner surface <NUM> is located and that is away from a plane on which the outer surface <NUM> is located. In other words, that is, if a part of space located on the side that is of the plane on which the inner surface <NUM> is located and that is away from the plane on which the outer surface <NUM> is located is defined as an inner side space of the glass cover plate <NUM>, the second step surface <NUM> and the inner surface <NUM> are both opposite to the inner side space of the glass cover plate <NUM>.

The second step surface <NUM> has an outer edge disposed away from the center of the inner surface <NUM> and an inner edge disposed close to the center of the inner surface <NUM>. The outer edge of the second step surface <NUM> is connected to the edge of the first side surface <NUM> close to the inner surface <NUM>. The third side surface <NUM> is connected between the inner edge of the second step surface <NUM> and the inner surface <NUM>. A distance from the second step surface <NUM> to the outer surface <NUM> is less than a distance from the inner surface <NUM> to the outer surface <NUM>. That is, a distance from each part of the second step surface <NUM> to the outer surface <NUM> is less than the distance from the inner surface <NUM> to the outer surface <NUM>.

When the second step surface <NUM> is an annular surface disposed around the edge circumference of the inner surface <NUM>, the third side surface <NUM> is also an annular surface disposed around the edge circumference of the inner surface <NUM>.

When the second step surface <NUM> is a relatively small surface located outside one side edge of the inner surface <NUM>, and there are a plurality of second step surfaces <NUM>, outer edges of the plurality of second step surfaces <NUM> are all connected to the first side surface <NUM>. Correspondingly, there are also a plurality of third side surfaces <NUM>, a quantity of the plurality of third side surfaces <NUM> is equal to a quantity of the plurality of second step surfaces <NUM>, the plurality of third side surfaces <NUM> are in a one-to-one correspondence to the plurality of second step surfaces <NUM>, and each third side surface <NUM> is connected between an inner edge of the second step surface <NUM> corresponding to the third side surface <NUM> and the inner surface <NUM>. In the embodiment shown in <FIG>, there are four second step surfaces <NUM>, and there are also four third side surfaces <NUM>. In the embodiment shown in <FIG>, there are <NUM> second step surfaces <NUM>, and there are also <NUM> third side surfaces <NUM>. A groove enclosed by the second step surface <NUM> and the third side surface <NUM> corresponding to the second step surface <NUM> includes, but is not limited to, a rectangular groove, a square groove, a semicircular groove, and a dovetail groove. This is not specifically limited herein.

The second step surface <NUM> may be a plane or a curved surface. This is not specifically limited herein. When the second step surface <NUM> is a plane, the second step surface <NUM> may be parallel to the inner surface <NUM> (or the outer surface <NUM>), or may tilt relative to the inner surface <NUM> (or the outer surface <NUM>). This is not specifically limited herein.

The third side surface <NUM> may be a plane or a curved surface. This is not specifically limited herein. The third side surface <NUM> may be perpendicular to the inner surface <NUM> (or the outer surface <NUM>), or may tilt relative to the inner surface <NUM> (or the outer surface <NUM>). This is not specifically limited herein.

The plastic edge portion <NUM> is further molded on the second step surface <NUM> and the third side surface <NUM> through an injection molding process.

In this way, on the one hand, a bonding area between the plastic edge portion <NUM> and the glass cover plate <NUM> can be increased by using the second step surface <NUM> and the third side surface <NUM>, thereby further increasing a bonding force between the plastic edge portion <NUM> and the glass cover plate <NUM> and improving the structural strength of the cover body structure <NUM>. On the other hand, the second step surface <NUM> and the third side surface <NUM> may further cooperate with positioning posts to position the glass cover plate <NUM> on the injection molding machine.

When the second step surface <NUM> is a relatively small surface located outside one side edge of the inner surface <NUM>, and there are a plurality of second step surfaces <NUM> and a plurality of third side surfaces <NUM>, to enable the second step surfaces <NUM> and the third side surfaces <NUM> to cooperate with positioning posts on the injection molding machine to position the glass cover plate <NUM>, in some embodiments, the plurality of second step surfaces <NUM> include at least three second step surfaces <NUM> arranged evenly around the edge circumference of the inner surface <NUM>. In this way, the glass cover plate <NUM> can be fixed, by respectively attaching top surfaces of at least three positioning posts on the injection molding machine to the at least three second step surfaces <NUM> and respectively attaching side surfaces of the at least three positioning posts to third side surfaces <NUM> connected to the at least three second step surfaces <NUM>, to a position on a plane on which the glass cover plate is located. On this basis, an ejector rod is added on a side of the outer surface <NUM> of the glass cover plate <NUM> away from the inner surface <NUM>, and a top surface of the ejector rod is attached to the outer surface <NUM> of the glass cover plate <NUM> to fix the glass cover plate <NUM> to a position on a plane perpendicular to the plane on which the glass cover plate is located, thereby realizing positioning. Such a positioning manner is simple and easy to implement. The shape of the positioning post on the injection molding machine is not limited to cylindrical, rectangular, or other regular or irregular profiling structures.

It should be noted that in the foregoing embodiment, when the shape of the glass cover plate <NUM> is a circular flat plate shape, the glass cover plate <NUM> can be positioned by using three positioning posts and one ejector rod. When the shape of the glass cover plate <NUM> is a square flat plate shape or a rectangular flat plate shape, the glass cover plate <NUM> can be positioned only if four positioning posts and one ejector rod are used.

The plastic edge portion <NUM> may be molded on the edge of the glass cover plate <NUM> when the glass cover plate <NUM> is in a state of being positioned by using the at least three positioning posts and the ejector rod, or may be molded on the edge of the glass cover plate <NUM> after the glass cover plate <NUM> is positioned by using the at least three positioning posts and the ejector rod and then the glass cover plate <NUM> is switched to be clamped by the outer surface <NUM> and the inner surface <NUM> of the glass cover plate <NUM> by using a structure such as a vacuum sucker or ebonite. This is not specifically limited herein.

<FIG> is a three-dimensional view of a cover body structure <NUM> obtained after the plastic edge portion <NUM> is molded on the edge of the glass cover plate <NUM> shown in <FIG> when the glass cover plate <NUM> is positioned by using at least three positioning posts and one ejector rod. The plastic edge portion <NUM> has an inner surface <NUM>. The inner surface <NUM> of the plastic edge portion <NUM> refers to a surface of the plastic edge portion <NUM> facing the inside of the electronic device when the cover body structure <NUM> is used as a part of the housing of the electronic device. Positions on the inner surface <NUM> of the plastic edge portion <NUM> that correspond to the at least three second step surfaces <NUM> are provided with second positioning post pull-out holes <NUM>. <FIG> is a cross-sectional view of the cover body structure <NUM> shown in <FIG>. The second positioning post pull-out hole <NUM> extends along a direction perpendicular to the glass cover plate <NUM>, and the second step surface <NUM> and the third side surface <NUM> connected to the second step surface <NUM> form a partial inner surface region of the second positioning post pull-out hole <NUM>.

When the plastic edge portion <NUM> is switched to a state in which the glass cover plate <NUM> is clamped by the outer surface <NUM> and the inner surface <NUM> of the glass cover plate <NUM> by using a structure such as a vacuum sucker or ebonite, the positioning of the glass cover plate <NUM> by using the at least three positioning posts and the ejector rod is canceled. In this way, no positioning post pull-out hole exists on the inner surface <NUM> of the plastic edge portion <NUM> in the molded cover body structure <NUM>, thereby ensuring the surface integrity and structural strength of the cover body structure <NUM>.

When the second step surface <NUM> is an annular surface disposed around the edge circumference of the inner surface <NUM>, and the third side surface <NUM> is also an annular surface disposed around the edge circumference of the inner surface <NUM>, to enable the second step surface <NUM> and the third side surface <NUM> to cooperate with positioning posts on the injection molding machine to position the glass cover plate <NUM>, in some embodiments, the second step surface <NUM> includes at least three step surface regions arranged evenly around the edge circumference of the inner surface <NUM>.

On this basis, an ejector rod is added on a side of the outer surface <NUM> of the glass cover plate <NUM> away from the inner surface <NUM>, and a top surface of the ejector rod is attached to the outer surface <NUM> of the glass cover plate <NUM> to fix the glass cover plate <NUM> to a position on a plane perpendicular to the plane on which the glass cover plate is located, thereby realizing positioning.

This is not specifically limited herein.

The second positioning post pull-out hole extends along a direction perpendicular to the glass cover plate <NUM>, and the step surface region and a partial region of the third side surface connected to the step surface region form a partial inner surface region of the second positioning post pull-out hole.

In the cover body structure <NUM> obtained after the plastic edge portion <NUM> is molded on the edge of the glass cover plate <NUM> when the glass cover plate <NUM> is positioned by using the at least three positioning posts and the ejector rod and then the glass cover plate <NUM> is switched to be clamped by the outer surface and the inner surface of the glass cover plate <NUM> by using a structure such as a vacuum sucker or ebonite, no positioning post pull-out hole exists on the inner surface <NUM> of the plastic edge portion <NUM>, thereby ensuring the surface integrity and structural strength of the cover body structure <NUM>.

The third implementation: The edge of the first side surface <NUM> close to the inner surface <NUM> is separated from at least a part of the edge of the inner surface <NUM> by using a middle surface. Specifically, <FIG> is a schematic cross-sectional structural diagram of a cover body structure <NUM> according to some other embodiments of this application. The glass cover plate <NUM> further includes a second step surface <NUM> and a third side surface <NUM>.

The second step surface <NUM> may be a relatively small surface located outside one side edge of the inner surface <NUM>, or may be a relatively large annular surface disposed around an edge circumference of the inner surface <NUM>. This is not specifically limited herein.

When the second step surface <NUM> is a relatively small surface located outside one side edge of the inner surface <NUM>, there may be one or more second step surfaces <NUM>. This is not specifically limited herein. When there are a plurality of second step surfaces <NUM>, the plurality of second step surfaces <NUM> are arranged along the edge of the inner surface <NUM>.

In the embodiment shown in <FIG>, the second step surface <NUM> is an annular surface disposed around the edge circumference of the inner surface <NUM>. This cannot be considered as a special limitation on this application.

When the second step surface <NUM> is a relatively small surface located outside one side edge of the inner surface <NUM>, and there are a plurality of second step surfaces <NUM>, outer edges of the plurality of second step surfaces <NUM> are all connected to the first side surface <NUM>.

Positions on the inner surface <NUM> of the plastic edge portion <NUM> that correspond to the at least three step surface regions are provided with second positioning post pull-out holes <NUM>. The second positioning post pull-out hole <NUM> extends along a direction perpendicular to the glass cover plate <NUM>, and the surface of the first glue layer <NUM> on the step surface region and a partial region of the third side surface connected to the step surface region form a partial inner surface region of the second positioning post pull-out hole <NUM>.

<FIG> is a three-dimensional view of a cover body structure <NUM> obtained after the plastic edge portion <NUM> is molded on the edge of the glass cover plate <NUM> in the cover body structure <NUM> shown in <FIG> when the glass cover plate <NUM> is positioned by using at least three positioning posts and one ejector rod and then the glass cover plate <NUM> is switched to be clamped by the outer surface and the inner surface of the glass cover plate <NUM> by using a structure such as a vacuum sucker or ebonite. No positioning post pull-out hole exists on the inner surface <NUM> of the plastic edge portion <NUM>, thereby ensuring the surface integrity and structural strength of the cover body structure <NUM>.

Embodiment <NUM>: <FIG> is a schematic cross-sectional structural diagram of a cover body structure <NUM>. The edge of the first side surface <NUM> close to the outer surface <NUM> is connected to the edge circumference of the outer surface <NUM>. The glass cover plate <NUM> includes the outer surface <NUM>, the inner surface <NUM>, and the first side surface <NUM> located between the edge circumference of the outer surface <NUM> and the edge circumference of the inner surface <NUM>. In addition, the glass cover plate <NUM> further includes a second step surface <NUM> and a third side surface <NUM>.

The first ink layer <NUM> is disposed on the second step surface <NUM>, the first glue layer <NUM> is disposed on the first ink layer <NUM> on the second step surface <NUM>, and the plastic edge portion <NUM> is molded on the first side surface <NUM>, the first glue layer <NUM> on the second step surface <NUM>, and the third side surface <NUM> through an injection molding process.

In this way, in the first aspect, because the plastic edge portion <NUM> is molded on the first side surface <NUM>, the first glue layer <NUM> on the second step surface <NUM>, and the third side surface <NUM> through an injection molding process, an outer surface of the plastic edge portion <NUM> can be continuously connected to the outer surface of the glass cover plate <NUM>, thereby ensuring the appearance delicacy of the cover body structure <NUM>. In the second aspect, both the second step surface <NUM> and the inner surface <NUM> face a side that is of a plane on which the inner surface <NUM> is located and that is away from a plane on which the outer surface <NUM> is located, the first ink layer <NUM> is disposed on the second step surface <NUM>, and the first glue layer <NUM> is disposed on the first ink layer <NUM> on the second step surface <NUM>, thereby facilitating the arrangement of the first ink layer <NUM> and the first glue layer <NUM> on the edge of the glass cover plate <NUM>. In the third aspect, the second step surface <NUM> and the third side surface <NUM> may further cooperate with positioning posts to position the glass cover plate <NUM> on the injection molding machine.

In the cover body structure <NUM> obtained after the plastic edge portion <NUM> is molded on the edge of the glass cover plate <NUM> when the glass cover plate <NUM> is in a state of being positioned by using the at least three positioning posts and the ejector rod, positions on the inner surface <NUM> of the plastic edge portion <NUM> that correspond to the at least three step surface regions are provided with second positioning post pull-out holes. The second positioning post pull-out hole extends along a direction perpendicular to the glass cover plate <NUM>, and the surface of the first glue layer <NUM> on the step surface region and a partial region of the third side surface connected to the step surface region form a partial inner surface region of the second positioning post pull-out hole.

Embodiment <NUM>: <FIG> is a schematic cross-sectional structural diagram of a cover body structure <NUM>. The edge of the first side surface <NUM> close to the outer surface <NUM> is connected to the edge circumference of the outer surface <NUM>, and the edge of the first side surface <NUM> close to the inner surface <NUM> is connected to the edge circumference of the inner surface <NUM>.

The inner surface <NUM> includes an edge region A. The edge region A may be a relatively small region located on one side edge of the inner surface <NUM> or a relatively large annular region located around the edge circumference of the inner surface <NUM>. In the embodiment shown in <FIG>, the edge region A is an annular region located around the edge circumference of the inner surface <NUM>. This cannot be considered as a special limitation on this application.

The first ink layer <NUM> is disposed at least on the edge region A. That is, the first ink layer <NUM> may be disposed only on the edge region A or disposed on other regions in addition to the edge region A. This is not specifically limited herein.

In the embodiment shown in <FIG>, the first ink layer <NUM> is disposed on the entire inner surface <NUM> including the edge region A. In this case, if the cover body structure <NUM> is used as a front cover plate of the electronic device and a decorative cover of the camera module, a transparent ink layer needs to be selected as the first ink layer <NUM>. If the cover body structure <NUM> is used as a back cover of the electronic device, a light-proof ink layer such as a black ink layer, a color ink layer, or a white ink layer needs to be selected as the first ink layer <NUM>, to hide a circuit structure in the electronic device.

In some other embodiments, the cover body structure <NUM> is used as a decorative cover of the camera module. The first ink layer <NUM> is disposed on regions on the inner surface <NUM> other than a light entering region. The light entering region is used for ensuring a light entering amount of the camera module. In this embodiment, a light-proof ink layer such as a black ink layer, a color ink layer, or a white ink layer may be selected as the first ink layer <NUM>.

The first glue layer <NUM> is disposed on the first ink layer <NUM> on the edge region A. The plastic edge portion <NUM> is molded on the first side surface <NUM> and the first glue layer <NUM> on the edge region A through an injection molding process.

In this way, on the one hand, the integrity of the glass cover plate <NUM> can be ensured without processing a step surface on the glass cover plate <NUM>. On the other hand, the first side surface <NUM> and the inner surface <NUM> can cooperate with the positioning posts on the injection molding machine to position the glass cover plate <NUM>.

In the foregoing embodiment, to enable the first side surface <NUM> and the inner surface <NUM> to cooperate with the positioning posts on the injection molding machine to position the glass cover plate <NUM>, in some embodiments, the inner surface <NUM> includes at least three positioning regions B arranged evenly around the edge circumference of the inner surface <NUM>. In this way, the glass cover plate <NUM> can be fixed, by disposing step surfaces on edges of top surfaces of at least three positioning posts on the injection molding machine and side surfaces connected between the step surfaces and the top surfaces, attaching the step surfaces on the edges of the top surfaces of the at least three positioning posts to the at least three positioning regions B, and respectively attaching the side surfaces that are on the edges of the top surfaces of the at least three positioning posts and that are connected to the step surfaces to partial regions of the first side surface <NUM> connected to the at least three positioning regions B, to a position on a plane on which the glass cover plate is located. On this basis, an ejector rod is added on a side of the outer surface <NUM> of the glass cover plate <NUM> away from the inner surface <NUM>, and a top surface of the ejector rod is attached to the outer surface <NUM> of the glass cover plate <NUM> to fix the glass cover plate <NUM> to a position on a plane perpendicular to the plane on which the glass cover plate is located, thereby realizing positioning. Such a positioning manner is simple and easy to implement.

<FIG> is a three-dimensional view of a cover body structure <NUM> obtained after the plastic edge portion <NUM> is molded on the edge of the glass cover plate <NUM> in the cover body structure <NUM> shown in <FIG> when the glass cover plate <NUM> is positioned by using at least three positioning posts and one ejector rod. Positions on an inner surface <NUM> of the plastic edge portion <NUM> that correspond to the at least three positioning regions B are provided with first positioning post pull-out holes <NUM>. <FIG> is a schematic cross-sectional structural diagram of the cover body structure <NUM> shown in <FIG>. The first positioning post pull-out hole <NUM> extends along a direction perpendicular to the glass cover plate <NUM>, and the surface of the first glue layer <NUM> on the positioning region B and a partial region of the first side surface <NUM> connected to the positioning region B form a partial inner surface region of the first positioning post pull-out hole <NUM>.

<FIG> is a three-dimensional view of a cover body structure <NUM> obtained after the plastic edge portion <NUM> is molded on the edge of the glass cover plate <NUM> in the cover body structure <NUM> shown in <FIG> when the glass cover plate <NUM> is positioned by using at least three positioning posts and one ejector rod and then the glass cover plate <NUM> is switched to be clamped by the outer surface <NUM> and the inner surface <NUM> of the glass cover plate <NUM> by using a structure such as a vacuum sucker or ebonite. No positioning post pull-out hole exists on the inner surface <NUM> of the plastic edge portion <NUM>, thereby ensuring the surface integrity and structural strength of the cover body structure <NUM>.

In the cover body structure <NUM> shown in <FIG>, a laser engraving surface or a step surface may be further disposed on the first side surface <NUM> of the glass cover plate <NUM> to increase a bonding area between the first side surface <NUM> and the plastic edge portion <NUM>, thereby further increasing the bonding strength between the plastic edge portion <NUM> and the glass cover plate <NUM>.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment of this application, an edge structure form of the glass cover plate <NUM> and disposition positions of the first ink layer <NUM>, the first glue layer <NUM>, and the plastic edge portion <NUM> are not limited to the foregoing embodiment <NUM>, embodiment <NUM>, and embodiment <NUM>, and further include other feasible embodiments, as long as conditions that the first ink layer <NUM> is disposed at least on the edge of the glass cover plate <NUM>, the first glue layer <NUM> is disposed on the first ink layer <NUM> on the edge of the glass cover plate <NUM>, and the plastic edge portion <NUM> is molded at least on the first glue layer <NUM> on the edge of the glass cover plate <NUM> through an injection molding process are satisfied. This is not specifically limited herein.

Based on any one of the foregoing embodiments of the cover body structure <NUM>, the cover body structure <NUM> can form the front cover plate <NUM> of the electronic device shown in <FIG>. In this case, the plastic edge portion <NUM> is configured to meet <NUM>. 5D or 3D appearance design requirements for one side edge, two side edges, three side edge, or an edge circumference of the front cover plate <NUM>. For example, in the embodiments shown in <FIG>, <FIG>, <FIG>, and <FIG>, the outer surface of the plastic edge portion <NUM> is a curved surface and the inner surface is a plane. The plastic edge portion <NUM> of such a structure can meet <NUM>. 5D appearance design requirements of edges of the front cover plate <NUM>. The plastic edge portion <NUM> may also form the decorative cover <NUM> of the electronic device shown in <FIG>. In this case, the plastic edge portion <NUM> is disposed around the edge circumference of the glass cover plate <NUM>, and an accommodating groove <NUM> is enclosed between the plastic edge portion <NUM> and the glass cover plate <NUM> on a side of the inner surface <NUM> away from the outer surface <NUM>. The accommodating groove <NUM> is used for accommodating an object side end of the camera module <NUM>.

When the cover body structure <NUM> is used as the decorative cover <NUM> of the electronic device shown in <FIG>, for example, referring to <FIG> being a schematic structural diagram of applying the cover body structure <NUM> shown in <FIG> to the back cover <NUM> in the electronic device shown in <FIG>, the back cover body <NUM> includes an outer surface M and an inner surface N, the outer surface M of the back cover body <NUM> refers to a surface of the back cover body <NUM> facing the outside of the electronic device when the back cover is applied to the electronic device, the inner surface N of the back cover body <NUM> refers to a surface of the back cover body <NUM> facing the inside of the electronic device when the back cover is applied to the electronic device, and the opening <NUM> passes through the outer surface M and the inner surface N.

An orientation of the outer surface <NUM> of the glass cover plate <NUM> of the cover body structure <NUM> is the same as an orientation of the outer surface M of the back cover body <NUM>, and the plastic edge portion <NUM> of the cover body structure <NUM> is fixed to an edge circumference of the back cover body <NUM> at the opening <NUM>.

In the back cover <NUM> provided in the foregoing embodiment, because the back cover <NUM> includes the cover body structure <NUM> used as the decorative cover of the camera module, and the bonding strength between the glass cover plate <NUM> of the cover body structure <NUM> and the plastic edge portion <NUM> is better, the structural strength and stability of the back cover <NUM> can be ensured.

In the foregoing embodiment, the plastic edge portion <NUM> of the cover body structure <NUM> may be fixed to an edge circumference of the back cover body <NUM> at the opening <NUM> through a process such as gluing, engagement, or threaded connection. This is not specifically limited herein.

In some embodiments, <FIG> is another schematic structural diagram of applying the cover body structure <NUM> shown in <FIG> to the back cover <NUM> in the electronic device shown in <FIG>. The back cover further includes a second ink layer <NUM> and a second glue layer <NUM>.

The second ink layer <NUM> may be at least one of a black ink layer, a color ink layer, a white ink layer, or a transparent ink layer. This is not specifically limited herein.

The second ink layer <NUM> is disposed at least on an edge of the back cover body <NUM> at the opening <NUM>. That is, the second ink layer <NUM> may be disposed on only the edge of the back cover body <NUM> at the opening <NUM>, or the second ink layer <NUM> may be disposed on another region on the inner surface of the back cover body <NUM> in addition to the edge of the back cover body <NUM> at the opening <NUM>.

A part of the second ink layer <NUM> disposed on the edge of the back cover body <NUM> at the opening <NUM> may be disposed on a partial region of the edge of the back cover body <NUM> at the opening <NUM>, or may be disposed on an entire region of an edge circumference of the back cover body <NUM> at the opening <NUM>. This is not specifically limited herein.

The second ink layer <NUM> may be disposed at least on the edge of the back cover body <NUM> at the opening <NUM> through at least one of a glass direct molding process, a silk screen printing process, or a pad printing process. This is not specifically limited herein.

The second glue layer <NUM> is disposed on the second ink layer <NUM> on the edge of the back cover body <NUM> at the opening <NUM>. In some embodiments, the first glue layer <NUM> may be disposed on the second ink layer <NUM> on the edge of the back cover body <NUM> at the opening <NUM> through at least one of a blade coating process, a roll coating process, a dip coating process, or a spray coating process. This is not specifically limited herein.

The plastic edge portion <NUM> is further molded at least on the second glue layer <NUM> on the edge circumference of the back cover body <NUM> at the opening <NUM> through an injection molding process.

The second glue layer <NUM> is a glue layer viscous at least at an injection molding temperature of the plastic edge portion <NUM>. In some embodiments, the material of the second glue layer <NUM> is the same as the material of the first glue layer <NUM>.

The second ink layer <NUM> is an ink layer that can withstand the injection molding temperature of the plastic edge portion <NUM>. In some embodiments, the material of the second ink layer <NUM> is the same as the material of the first ink layer <NUM>.

In this way, the plastic edge portion <NUM> of the cover body structure <NUM> and the edge circumference of the back cover body <NUM> at the opening <NUM> can be molded into a whole through an injection molding process. The structure is simple with relatively high bonding strength while ensuring the appearance delicacy of the back cover.
