Abstract

A terminal and a method for assembling a collection circuit of a terminal. The collection circuit is attached to an inside of a metal supporting frame, and the metal supporting frame is attached to a rear housing of the terminal. In this way, the collection circuit does not need to be disposed on a battery cover, and is supported by the metal supporting frame. This resolves a problem that a press support failure occurs when the collection circuit is used. Moreover, attaching the collection circuit and the metal supporting frame to the rear housing belongs to level 2 appearance assembly. This resolves a problem in level 1 appearance assembly that a minor scratch on the battery cover may ruin a fingerprint recognition circuit. Assembly of the entire collection circuit is simple and cost effective.

Claims

1. A terminal, comprising;

a front housing, a lain board being assembled onto the front housing;

a rear housing;

a battery cover having a hole, the rear housing and the battery cover being snap-fitted to the front housing in sequence;

a metal supporting frame attached to the rear housing; and

a collection circuit attached to an inside of the metal supporting at frame and electrically coupled to the main board a collection surface of the collection circuit being exposed from the battery cover through the hole, and the collection circuit being configured to collect an external parameter.

2. The terminal of claim 1, wherein the battery cover comprises a non-metal battery cover.

3. The terminal of claim 1, wherein the metal supporting frame is attached to a side of the rear housing facing the main board.

4. The terminal of claim 1, wherein the metal supporting frame is attached to a side of the rear housing facing the battery cover.

5. The terminal of claim 1, wherein the rear housing comprises a metal ornament located between the collection circuit and the hole.

6. The terminal of claim 1, wherein the collection circuit comprises:

a fingerprint recognition circuit;

a camera;

an infrared scanner; and

a laser.

7. A method for assembling a collection circuit of a terminal, comprising:

attaching the collection circuit to an inside of a metal supporting frame, the collection circuit being configured to collect an external parameter, and the terminal further comprising a front housing, a rear housing and a battery cover snap-fitted to the front housing;

in sequence, and a main board assembled onto the front housing;

attaching the metal supporting frame to the rear housing;

electrically coupling the collection circuit to the main board; and

snap-fitting the battery cover such that a collection surface of the collection circuit is exposed from the battery cover through a hole on the battery cover.

8. The assembly method of claim 7, wherein the battery cover comprises a non-metal battery cover.

9. The assembly method of claim 7, wherein attaching the metal supporting frame to the rear housing comprises attaching the metal supporting frame to a side of the rear housing facing the main board.

10. The assembly method of claim 7, wherein attaching the metal supporting frame to the rear housing comprises attaching the metal supporting frame to a side of the rear housing facing the battery cover.

11. The assembly method of claim 7, further comprising disposing a metal ornament between the collection circuit and the hole.

12. The assembly method of claim 7, wherein the collection circuit comprises:

a fingerprint recognition circuit;

a camera;

an infrared scanner; and

a laser.
