Abstract

A middle frame includes a flat part and a first recess part that are integrally molded, where the first recess part is recessed relative to a first surface of the flat part to form a first groove, where an opening is located on the first surface; the first recess part includes a bottom wall, a first side wall, and a second side wall, where an orientation of the bottom wall is the same as that of the first surface, the first side wall and the second side wall separately intersect the bottom wall, and the first side wall is connected to the second side wall; and an opening formed by the first side wall and the second side wall is gradually enlarged in a first direction parallel to a flow direction of a die casting material in a die casting molding process of the middle frame.

Claims (55)

1 . A middle frame comprising:

a flat part comprising:

a first surface; and

a second surface disposed opposite to the first surface; and

a first recess part that is integrally molded with the flat part, is recessed relative to the first surface to form a first groove, and comprises a first opening on the first surface, wherein the first recess part comprises:

a bottom wall having a same orientation as the first surface;

a first side wall;

a second side wall, wherein the first side wall and the second side wall separately intersect with the bottom wall, and wherein the first side wall is coupled to the second side wall; and

a second opening formed by the first side wall and the second side wall, wherein the second opening is gradually enlarged in a first direction based on a flow direction of a die casting material.

2 . The middle frame according to claim 1 , wherein the first side wall and the second side wall form an acute angle.

3 . The middle frame according to claim 1 , wherein the bottom wall has a shape of a quadrilateral or a triangle.

4 . The middle frame according to claim 1 , wherein the first recess part is recessed relative to the flat part to form a second groove, comprising a third opening that has a same direction as the first opening, wherein the first groove is located in the second groove, and wherein the first groove has a first depth that is greater than a second depth of the second groove.

5 . The middle frame according to claim 4 , wherein the first surface comprises a first side, wherein the first groove is recessed from the first side and faces the second surface.

6 . The middle frame according to claim 5 , further comprising:

a first plate;

a second plate comprising:

a first end part coupled to the first plate; and

a second end part disposed opposite to the first end part, wherein the second groove extends from the first end part to the second end part; and

a third plate coupled to the second end part, wherein the first plate, the second plate, and the third plate are sequentially coupled and configured to carry different parts.

7 . The middle frame according to claim 6 , further comprising a second recess part integrally molded to the flat part, wherein the second recess part is recessed relative to the flat part to form a third groove and a fourth groove that are both recessed from the first side.

8 . The middle frame according to claim 7 , wherein the fourth groove has a same shape as the first groove and comprises a fourth opening formed by two adjacent side walls of the fourth groove, and wherein the fourth opening is gradually enlarged in the first direction.

9 . The middle frame according to claim 7 , wherein the fourth groove is located in the third groove and has a second depth that is greater than a first depth of the third groove, wherein the third groove and the second groove are disposed in a staggered manner in the first direction, and wherein the fourth groove and the first groove are disposed in a staggered manner in a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction.

10 . The middle frame according to claim 6 , wherein a plurality of grooves that include the first groove are spaced and located in the second groove.

11 . The middle frame according to claim 5 , wherein the bottom wall comprises a second side that is away from the first surface and that protrudes relative to the second surface.

12 . The middle frame according to claim 1 , wherein the middle frame is configured to carry at least one of a motherboard, a secondary board, a circuit board, a display, or a battery.

13 . A middle frame comprising:

a flat part comprising:

a first surface, wherein the first surface comprises a first side; and

a second surface disposed opposite to the first surface; and

a first recess part that is integrally molded with the flat part, is recessed relative to the first surface to form a first groove, and comprises a first opening on the first surface, wherein the first recess part comprises:

a bottom wall having a same orientation as the first surface;

a first side wall;

a second side wall, wherein the first side wall and the second side wall separately intersect with the bottom wall, and wherein the first side wall is coupled to the second side wall, and wherein the first groove is recessed from the first side and faces the second surface; and

a second opening formed by the first side wall and the second side wall, wherein the second opening is gradually enlarged in a first direction based on a flow direction of a die casting material.

14 . The middle frame according to claim 13 , further comprising:

a first plate;

a second plate comprising:

a first end part coupled to the first plate; and

a second end part disposed opposite to the first end part; and

a third plate coupled to the second end part, wherein the first plate, the second plate, and the third plate are sequentially coupled and configured to carry different parts.

15 . The middle frame according to claim 14 , wherein the first recess part is recessed relative to the flat part to form a second groove, wherein the second groove extends from the first end part to the second end part, and wherein a plurality of grooves that include the first groove are spaced and located in the second groove.

16 . The middle frame according to claim 15 , further comprising a second recess part integrally molded to the flat part, wherein the second recess part is recessed relative to the flat part to form a third groove and a fourth groove that are both recessed from the first side.

17 . The middle frame according to claim 16 , wherein the fourth groove has a same shape as the first groove and comprises a fourth opening formed by two adjacent side walls of the fourth groove, and wherein the fourth opening is gradually enlarged in the first direction.

18 . The middle frame according to claim 16 , wherein the fourth groove is located in the third groove and has a second depth that is greater than a first depth of the third groove, wherein the third groove and the second groove are disposed in a staggered manner in the first direction, and wherein the fourth groove and the first groove are disposed in a staggered manner in a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction.

19 . The middle frame according to claim 13 , wherein the bottom wall comprises a second side that is away from the first surface and that protrudes relative to the second surface.

20 . A middle frame comprising:
