Electronic device, fixing assembly, and elastic member

Abstract

This invention discloses an electronic device, a fixing component, and an elastic element. The electronic device includes a main body component, a fixing component, and an electronic module. The main body component includes a rigid plate and a housing. The rigid plate includes a first limiting portion on one side of a clearance area. The housing covers the rigid plate and has an exposed hole corresponding to the clearance area. The fixing component includes a base plate, a first elastic element, and an electronic module. The first elastic element is fixed to the base plate and its position corresponds to the exposed hole. The position of the first elastic element projected onto the rigid plate is within the clearance area, and it includes a second limiting portion. The second limiting portion cooperates with the first limiting portion to restrict the movement of the main body component relative to the fixing component. The electronic module is disposed on the rigid plate.
