ZTE applies for patents related to the middle frame structure; the middle frame converts impact energy into heat energy, reducing the risk of component damage.

April 2 News, the State Intellectual Property Office information shows that ZTE Corporation has applied for a patent titled “Middle Frame Structure and Mobile Terminal.” The application publication number is CN121771314A, the application number is CN202512009773.7, the publication date is March 31, 2026, the application date is December 29, 2025, inventors are Zhang Lei and Geng Qi, the patent agency is Shenzhen Century Hengcheng Intellectual Property Agency, patent attorney Hu Haiguo, classification numbers H04M1/02, H04M1/18.

The patent abstract indicates that this application discloses a middle frame structure and a mobile terminal, involving the field of mobile terminal technology. The middle frame structure includes a middle frame body, a resonance structure, and a transmission structure. The resonance structure is located inside the middle frame body and includes a first resonance arm; the transmission structure is located inside the middle frame body and is set between the middle frame body and the first resonance arm; when the middle frame body is impacted, at least part of the transmission structure can move and contact the first resonance arm, causing the first resonance arm to vibrate; in this application, the impact kinetic energy absorbed by the middle frame body is transmitted and converted into vibrational energy of the first resonance arm. The first resonance arm, relying on its own material internal friction damping, dissipates this vibrational energy as heat, effectively attenuating the impact energy directly transmitted to the precision components of the mobile terminal, reducing the risk of functional damage to the components when the mobile terminal is impacted.
