Abstract

A connector protection structure is disposed on a rear housing. The connector protection structure includes a first side plate, a second side plate, a third side plate, and at least one first rib sequentially disposed on the rear housing. The first side plate, the second side plate, and the third side plate together form an accommodating space. The first rib is located within the accommodating space. Each of the first side plate, the second side plate, and the third side plate includes at least one protrusion. The protrusion extends toward the accommodating space.

Claims

1. A connector protection structure disposed on a rear housing, the connector protection structure comprising a first side plate, a second side plate, a third side plate and at least a first rib sequentially disposed on the rear housing, wherein the first side plate, the second side plate and the third side plate together form an accommodating space, the at least one first rib is located within the accommodating space, and each of the first side plate, the second side plate and the third side plate includes at least one protrusion extending toward the accommodating space.

2. The connector protection structure as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first side plate, the second side plate and the third side plate form a U-shaped structure, and the at least one first rib is substantially parallel to the first side plate and the third side plate.

3. An electronic device comprising: a rear housing; a connector protection structure as described in any one of claims 1 to 2; a reinforcing base disposed on the rear housing, the reinforcing base having a socket relative to the second side plate; and a connector disposed within the receiving space, the connector having a first side, a second side, a third side, and a fourth side, the first side, the second side, the third side, and the fourth side respectively facing the first side plate, the second side plate, the third side plate, and the reinforcing base; wherein, The at least one protrusion of the first side plate is located on the first side of the connector, the at least one protrusion of the second side plate is located on the second side of the connector, the at least one protrusion of the third side plate is located on the third side of the connector, and the reinforcing base is located on the fourth side of the connector.

4. The electronic device as claimed in claim 3, wherein the connector further has a fifth side and a sixth side opposite to each other, the first side, the second side, the third side and the fourth side being arranged sequentially around the outer edges of the fifth side and the sixth side, and the at least one first rib being located on the fifth side of the connector.

5. The electronic device as claimed in claim 4 further includes a front frame mounted on the rear housing, wherein the front frame includes at least one second rib located on the sixth side of the connector.

6. The electronic device as claimed in claim 5 further includes a circuit board and a locking device, the circuit board being disposed between the connector protection structure and the front frame, and the locking device simultaneously connecting the rear housing and the circuit board.

7. The electronic device as claimed in claim 6, wherein the connector is soldered to the circuit board.

8. The electronic device as claimed in claim 6, wherein the locking device includes a stud and a screw, the circuit board is located on the stud, and the screw extends through the circuit board and is locked to the stud.

9. The electronic device as claimed in claim 8, wherein the rear housing has a bottom surface, and the height of a top surface of the stud relative to the bottom surface is greater than the height of a top surface of the connector protection structure relative to the bottom surface.

10. The electronic device as claimed in claim 3, wherein the size of the socket of the reinforcing base corresponds to the size of an opening of the connector.
