Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of fixed installation of electronic devices, and particularly to an electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, combined with Figure 1 As shown, the method for assembling and detaching the display screen central control unit from the wall component is as follows: The display screen central control unit 1 has a magnet inside, and its outer shell has positioning holes and hanging slots. The power supply rear shell assembly 2 on the wall mounting bracket has sheet metal and positioning posts and hanging nails. The power supply rear shell assembly 2 is fixed in a standard 86 box with screws. The display screen central control unit 1 is attracted to the sheet metal on the power supply rear shell assembly 2 by its internal magnet for adsorption and fixation. The positioning posts on the power supply rear shell assembly 2 are embedded in the positioning holes of the outer shell of the display screen central control unit 1, and the hanging slots on the outer shell of the display screen central control unit 1 and the hanging nails on the power supply rear shell assembly 2 are used for positioning.

[0003] The electrical connection scheme between the display screen control unit 1 and the power supply rear housing assembly 2 is as follows: the power supply rear housing assembly 2 is equipped with a spring pin assembly, and the display screen control unit 1 is equipped with a corresponding spring pin interface. When the display screen control unit 1 is fixed on the power supply rear housing assembly 2, the spring pin interface in the display screen control unit 1 presses against the spring pin assembly in the power supply rear housing assembly 2, causing the spring pin assembly in the power supply rear housing assembly 2 to compress and spring back, thereby providing power to the display screen control unit 1.

[0004] The drawback of this technical solution is that the magnetic force of the magnetic component is difficult to control. If the magnetic force is too weak, the attraction will be weak, resulting in unreliable electrical connection between the display controller 1 and the power supply back cover assembly 2. If the magnetic force is too strong, the product appearance may be scratched during installation, and the display may be damaged due to excessive impact. Furthermore, the sheet metal on the power supply back cover assembly 2 affects the wireless performance of the display controller 1. When the display controller 1 is removed from the power supply back cover assembly 2 for temporary mobile device use, the strong magnet inside the display controller 1 poses a risk of sudden attraction to metallic substances in the external environment during movement, potentially causing accidents. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an electronic device that adopts a self-locking snap-fit ​​structure, which achieves a stable connection without generating connection impact force on the electronic device, and can also be easily disassembled.

[0006] One embodiment of the present invention provides an electronic device, comprising:

[0007] A first housing, wherein a first surface of the first housing has a first slider and a second slider;

[0008] The bracket has a second surface that can fit against the first surface, and the second surface of the bracket has a second engaging portion that protrudes from the second surface to engage with the second slider;

[0009] The second slider has a first engagement position that limits the engagement with the second engagement portion, and a second engagement position that avoids the second engagement portion and disengages from the engagement with the second engagement portion;

[0010] The first slider has a first slider position that limits the second slider to the first engagement position, and a second slider position that avoids the second slider;

[0011] The second slider responds to the movement of the first housing and the bracket toward or away from each other, switching between the first engaging position and the second engaging position, correspondingly locking the first housing and the bracket in the engaging position where the first surface and the second surface are in contact, and / or releasing the engagement of the first housing and the bracket;

[0012] The first slider responds to an external force or the action of the second engaging portion, switching between the first slider position and the second slider position, correspondingly locking the second slider in the first engaging position and / or releasing the locking of the second slider.

[0013] In one embodiment, the second slider, in response to movement of the first housing and the bracket toward or away from each other, switching between the first engaging position and the second engaging position includes:

[0014] The second slider, in response to the movement of the first housing and the bracket toward each other, switches along the first surface from a first engaging position to a second engaging position; or

[0015] In response to the movement of the first housing and the bracket away from each other, the second slider switches from the first engaging position to the second engaging position along the first surface to disengage from the second engaging portion.

[0016] In one embodiment, the second slider further includes a second elastic element, the equilibrium position of which corresponds to the first engagement position;

[0017] The second slider, in response to movement of the first housing and the bracket toward or away from each other, switches between the first engaging position and the second engaging position, including:

[0018] The second slider, in response to the movement of the first housing and the bracket toward each other, switches from a first engaging position to a second engaging position inside the first housing, so that the second engaging portion extends into the interior of the first housing; and in response to the elastic force of the second elastic element, switches from a second engaging position to a first engaging position inside the first housing, so that the second engaging portion engages with the second slider; or

[0019] The second slider responds to the movement of the first housing and the bracket away from each other, switching from a first engaging position to a second engaging position inside the first housing to disengage from the second engaging part, and responds to the elastic force of the second elastic element to switch from the second engaging position to the first engaging position.

[0020] In one embodiment, the switching between the first slider position and the second slider position in response to an external force or the action of the second engaging portion includes:

[0021] The first slider responds to an external force and moves from the first slider position to the second slider position to release the lock on the second slider; or

[0022] The first slider moves from the first slider position to the second slider position in response to the push of the second engaging portion.

[0023] In one embodiment, the first slider further includes a first elastic element, the equilibrium position of the first elastic element corresponding to the position of the first slider;

[0024] The switching between the first slider position and the second slider position in response to an external force or the action of the second engaging portion includes:

[0025] The first slider moves from the first slider position to the second slider position in response to an external force that overcomes the elastic force of the first elastic element, thereby releasing the lock on the second slider; or

[0026] The first slider moves from the first slider position to the second slider position in response to the push of the second engaging portion, and returns from the second slider position to the first slider position in response to the elastic force of the first elastic element.

[0027] In one embodiment, the first slider responding to the pushing of the second engaging portion includes:

[0028] The first slider moves from the first slider position to the second slider position in response to the pushing of the second engaging portion along the direction in which the first housing and the bracket face each other, and returns from the second slider position to the first slider position in response to the elastic force of the first elastic element.

[0029] In one embodiment, there are a first direction and a second direction that are perpendicular to each other in a plane that is parallel to the extension direction of the first surface or the second surface;

[0030] The first engagement position and the second engagement position are offset in the first direction, and the first slider position and the second slider position are offset in the second direction.

[0031] In one embodiment, the second engaging portion includes an engaging portion body extending in a direction perpendicular to the second surface, an engaging portion protruding from the engaging portion body in the first direction, and a thrust surface for abutting against the first slider. The engaging portion is located at the front end of the engaging portion body, and the thrust surface is formed on one side of the engaging portion and forms an angle with the second surface.

[0032] In the first engaging position, the engaging body is flush with the end of the second slider, and the engaging part forms a limiting position with the second slider inside the first housing to restrict the movement of the first housing and the bracket away from each other in a direction perpendicular to the first surface.

[0033] In the second engaging position, the second slider avoids the engaging portion.

[0034] In one embodiment, the front end face of the engaging portion has a second chamfered surface that forms an angle with the second surface. The second chamfered surface responds to the movement of the first housing and the bracket toward each other and pushes the second slider to switch the second slider from the first engaging position to the second engaging position.

[0035] The rear end face of the engaging portion has a second engaging surface that forms an angle with the second surface. The second engaging surface responds to the movement of the first housing and the bracket away from each other and pushes the second slider to switch the second slider from the first engaging position to the second engaging position.

[0036] In one embodiment, the first slider includes:

[0037] A slider body, which is movably mounted on the first housing along the second direction;

[0038] Slider locking rib, the slider locking rib protruding from the slider body along the second direction; and

[0039] A guiding surface, which is used to abut against the second engaging part, is formed at the end of the slider locking rib and forms an angle with the first surface;

[0040] At the first slider position, the slider locking rib is located in the path between the first engagement position and the second engagement position, and abuts against the second slider located at the first engagement position to lock the second slider at the first engagement position;

[0041] In the second slider position, the slider locking rib is located outside the path between the first engaging position and the second engaging position.

[0042] In one embodiment, the first slider includes:

[0043] A slider head, which is used to receive the external force, is located at the first end of the slider body and is exposed outside the first housing;

[0044] The slider locking rib is located at the second end of the slider body.

[0045] In one embodiment, the first housing further includes:

[0046] A third slider is disposed on the first surface to engage with the second engaging portion.

[0047] The third slider is the same as the second slider, and is respectively disposed on a pair of opposite sides of the first surface.

[0048] As can be seen from the above technical solution, the electronic device in this embodiment achieves a fixed connection between the first housing and the bracket through the snap-fit ​​mechanism. In the direction perpendicular to the connection surface of the first housing and the bracket, no excessive impact force will be generated, thereby preventing damage to the electronic device.

[0049] Furthermore, the installation of the electronic device in this embodiment is convenient. Simply bringing the first housing and the bracket closer together is sufficient to engage the latches and simultaneously lock them in place. Therefore, the installation of the electronic device in this embodiment only requires pushing the first housing towards the bracket to complete the installation.

[0050] Furthermore, although the electronic device in this embodiment locks the latch in the engaged position once the latch engages, the disassembly process is not complicated. It only requires moving the first slider by means of actions such as flicking or pressing to unlock the second slider, and then disassembling the latch by moving the first housing and the bracket away from each other. Therefore, the disassembly of the electronic device in this embodiment requires only two actions: flicking and then pulling. The flicking action avoids accidental disassembly of the first housing, while the pulling action can be easily completed without the use of additional tools. Attached Figure Description

[0064] To provide a clearer understanding of the technical features, objectives, and effects of the invention, specific embodiments of the invention are now described with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which the same reference numerals denote the same parts.

[0065] In this document, “illustrative” means “serving as an example, illustration or description”, and any illustration or implementation described herein as “illustrative” should not be construed as a more preferred or advantageous technical solution.

[0066] To keep the drawings concise, only the parts relevant to the invention are shown in each figure, and do not represent the actual structure of the product. Furthermore, to facilitate understanding, in some figures, only one of the components with the same structure or function is shown schematically, or only one is labeled.

[0067] To address the problem of uncontrollable connection force in the connection structure between electronic devices and fixed brackets in existing technologies, this invention provides an electronic device that employs a self-locking snap-fit ​​structure. This structure achieves a stable connection without generating connection impact force on the electronic device and allows for easy disassembly.

[0068] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the electronic device of the present invention. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the first housing in the electronic device of the present invention. Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the bracket in the electronic device of the present invention. Figures 2 to 4 As shown, one embodiment of the present invention provides an electronic device, including:

[0069] A first housing 10, the first surface 10a of the first housing 10 having a first slider 12 and a second slider 13; and

[0070] The bracket 20 has a second surface 20a that can fit against the first surface 10a, and the second surface 20a of the bracket 20 has a second engaging portion 21 that protrudes from the second surface 20a and engages with the second slider 13.

[0071] The second slider 13 has a first engagement position A1 that forms a limiting position with the second engagement portion 21 (e.g., ... Figure 5a As shown), and avoids the second engaging part 21, so as to disengage from the second engaging part 21 at the second engaging position A2 (as shown). Figure 5b (as shown);

[0072] The first housing 10 further includes a first slider 12 for limiting the second slider 13 inside the first housing 10, the first slider 12 having a first slider position B1 (e.g., limiting the second slider 13 to a first engagement position A1) that limits the second slider 13 to a first engagement position A1. Figure 6a As shown), and the second slider position B2 (as shown) to avoid the second slider 13. Figure 6b (as shown);

[0073] The second slider 13 responds to the movement of the first housing 10 and the bracket 20 toward or away from each other, and switches between the first engagement position A1 and the second engagement position A2, correspondingly locking the first housing 10 and the bracket 20 at the engagement position where the first surface 10a and the second surface 20a are attached, and / or releasing the engagement of the first housing 10 and the bracket 20.

[0074] The first slider 12 responds to external force or the action of the second engaging part 21, switching between the first slider position B1 and the second slider position B2, correspondingly locking the second slider 13 in the first engaging position A1 and / or unlocking the second slider 13.

[0075] In this embodiment, the electronic device is implemented as a display screen central control unit, and the bracket 20 is implemented as a power supply rear shell assembly for fixing the display screen central control unit to a wall or other location. Specifically, the first shell 10 is implemented as the rear shell of the display screen central control unit, and it is fixed to the second surface 20a of the bracket 20 by adhering to its first surface 10a.

[0076] In this embodiment, the first housing 10 and the bracket 20 are fixedly connected by a second engaging part 21 and a second slider 13. To facilitate operation and ensure the integrity of the product's appearance, both the second slider 13 and the first slider 12 are located inside the first housing 10. When the first housing 10 is removed from the bracket 20, its surface can maintain a flat appearance without any protruding structure, thus not affecting the use of the first housing 10 as a portable device. The second engaging part 21 can be located on the second surface 20a of the bracket 20, protruding from the second surface 20a, and the bracket 20 is installed in a fixed position such as a wall.

[0077] The second slider 13 has the following characteristics: Figure 5a The first engaging position A1, which forms a limit with the second engaging part 21, and as shown, Figure 5bThe second engaging position A2 is shown, where the second slider 13 avoids the second engaging part 21 and disengages from it. Furthermore, the switching between the first engaging position A1 and the second engaging position A2 is not manually operated by an operator, but rather responds to the movement of the first housing 10 and the bracket 20 towards or away from each other. This movement of the first housing 10 and the bracket 20 towards or away from each other can be performed while maintaining the first surface 10a and the second surface 20a parallel to each other, or it can be performed while the first surface 10a and the second surface 20a form an angle. The second slider 13 remains in the first engaging position A1 when not subjected to external force.

[0078] refer to Figure 5a and Figure 5b The connection process between the first housing 10 and the bracket 20 of the electronic device in this embodiment includes:

[0079] When the first housing 10 and the bracket 20 are not connected, the second engaging part 21 is located outside the first housing 10, and the second slider 13 is held in the first engaging position A1.

[0080] The operator can hold the first housing 10 and move it toward the bracket 20 so that the first housing 10 and the bracket 20 move toward each other until the second slider 13 contacts the second engaging part 21. The movement of the first housing 10 and the bracket 20 toward each other causes the second engaging part 21 to press the second slider 13, so as to cause the second slider 13 to switch from the first engaging position A1 to the second engaging position A2 that avoids the second engaging part 21, thereby allowing the second engaging part 21 to extend into the first housing 10.

[0081] The operator continues to move the first housing 10 and the bracket 20 toward each other. When the second slider 13 disengages from the interference of the second engaging part 21, the second slider 13 can switch from the second engaging position A2 to the first engaging position A1. When the first surface 10a and the second surface 20a are in contact, the portion of the second slider 13 corresponding to the first engaging position A1 and engaged with the second engaging part 21 is limited by the second slider 13. At this time, the second slider 13 engages with the second engaging part 21 to restrict the relative movement of the first housing 10 and the bracket 20 in a direction perpendicular to the first surface 10a (or the second surface 20a), thus achieving a fixed connection between the first housing 10 and the bracket 20.

[0082] refer to Figure 5a and Figure 5b The disassembly process of the first housing 10 and the bracket 20 of the electronic device in this embodiment includes:

[0083] When the first housing 10 and the bracket 20 are connected, the part of the second engaging part 21 that engages with the second slider 13 is located inside the first housing 10 and is limited by the second slider 13, and the second slider 13 is held in the first engaging position A1.

[0084] The operator can hold the first housing 10 and move it away from the support 20, i.e., pull the first housing 10 away from the support 20 so that the first housing 10 and the support 20 move away from each other. The second slider 13 abuts against the second engaging part 21. The movement of the first housing 10 and the support 20 away from each other causes the second engaging part 21 to squeeze the second slider 13, so as to cause the second slider 13 to switch from the first engaging position A1 to the second engaging position A2 that avoids the second engaging part 21, thereby allowing the second engaging part 21 to be pulled out of the first housing 10.

[0085] The operator continues to move the first housing 10 and the bracket 20 away from each other. When the second slider 13 disengages from the interference of the second engaging part 21, the second slider 13 can switch from the second engaging position A2 to the first engaging position A1, and the entire second engaging part 21 is located outside the first housing 10. At this time, the second slider 13 disengages from the engaging part 21, realizing the disassembly and separation of the first housing 10 and the bracket 20.

[0086] Furthermore, the electronic device in this embodiment is not limited to the connection and fixation of the first housing 10 and the bracket 20 by the engagement of the second slider 13 and the second engaging part 21, but provides a locking structure for the second slider 13 for self-locking and unlocking.

[0087] As can be seen from the above description of the disassembly process, the engagement between the second slider 13 and the second engaging part 21 can be disengaged under the action of external force. Therefore, it is not possible to achieve a stable fixation between the first housing 10 and the bracket 20 by relying solely on the engagement between the second slider 13 and the second engaging part 21.

[0088] like Figure 6a and Figure 6b As shown, the electronic device in this embodiment further includes a first slider 12 corresponding to the second slider 13. The first slider 12 is disposed inside the first housing 10 and is used to lock the second slider 13 in a first engaging position A1 inside the first housing 10. This ensures that after the second slider 13 engages with the second engaging part 21, it will not disengage due to external force. Instead, it must be operated on the first slider 12 to switch to a second slider position B2 that avoids the second slider 13, thereby releasing the lock on the second slider 13. Then, by pulling the first housing 10 with external force, the disassembly process of the first housing 10 and the bracket 20 as described above can be achieved.

[0089] Specifically, without being subjected to external force, the first slider 12 should be in the first slider position B1, which can lock the second slider 13 in the first engagement position A1.

[0090] refer to Figure 5a , Figure 5b , Figure 6a , Figure 6b The connection process between the first housing 10 and the bracket 20 of the electronic device in this embodiment includes:

[0091] When the first housing 10 and the bracket 20 are not connected, the second engaging part 21 is located outside the first housing 10, the second slider 13 is held in the first engaging position A1, and the first slider 12 is held in the first slider position B1 inside the first housing 10.

[0092] The operator can hold the first housing 10 and move it toward the bracket 20, so that the first housing 10 and the bracket 20 move toward each other. The first slider 12 contacts the second engaging part 21 and moves from the first slider position B1 to the second slider position B2, until the second slider 13 contacts the second engaging part 21. The movement of the first housing 10 and the bracket 20 toward each other causes the second engaging part 21 to press the second slider 13, so that the second slider 13 switches from the first engaging position A1 to the second engaging position A2, which avoids the second engaging part 21.

[0093] The operator continues to move the first housing 10 and the bracket 20 towards each other. When the second slider 13 disengages from the interference of the second engaging part 21, the second slider 13 can switch from the second engaging position A2 to the first engaging position A1 until the second engaging part 21 engages with the second slider 13. When the second slider 13 is in the first engaging position A1, the second slider 13 is outside the path of the first slider 12 changing from the second slider position B2 to the first slider position B1. At this point, the limiting effect of the second engaging part 21 and the second slider 13 on the first slider 12 disappears, and the first slider 12 returns to the first slider position B1. When the first surface 10a and the second surface 20a are in contact, the portion of the second slider 13 corresponding to the first engaging position A1 and engaged with the second engaging part 21 is located inside the first housing 10. Simultaneously, the first slider 12 is in the first slider position B1, which limits the second slider 13 to the first engaging position A1. At this time, the second slider 13 engages with the second engaging part 21 to restrict the relative movement of the first housing 10 and the bracket 20 in a direction perpendicular to the first surface 10a (or the second surface 20a), thereby achieving a fixed connection between the first housing 10 and the bracket 20.

[0094] refer to Figure 5a , Figure 5b , Figure 6a , Figure 6bThe disassembly process of the first housing 10 and the bracket 20 of the electronic device in this embodiment includes:

[0095] When the first housing 10 and the bracket 20 are connected, the second engaging portion 21 is confined to the second slider 13, and the second slider 13 remains in the first engaging position A1. The first slider 12 is in the first slider position B1 that confines the second slider 13 to the first engaging position A1, specifically, it is located in the path from the first engaging position A1 to the second engaging position A2.

[0096] At this point, if the operator holds the first housing 10 and moves it away from the support 20, i.e., pulls the first housing 10 away from the support 20, so that the first housing 10 and the support 20 move in opposite directions, the second slider 13 abuts against the second engaging part 21. The movement of the first housing 10 and the support 20 in opposite directions causes the second engaging part 21 to press the second slider 13, causing the second slider 13 to switch from the first engaging position A1 to the second engaging position A2, which avoids the second engaging part 21. However, since the first slider 12 is located in the path from the first engaging position A1 to the second engaging position A2, it will limit the second slider 13 to the first engaging position A1. Thus, due to the limiting effect of the first slider 12, the movement of the first housing 10 and the support 20 in opposite directions cannot cause the second slider 13 to disengage from the second engaging part 21, and the first housing 10 and the support 20 can be stably connected.

[0097] When it is necessary to disassemble the first housing 10 and the bracket 20, the first slider 12 must first be moved from the first slider position B1 to the second slider position B2 by external force to unlock the first slider 12's lock on the second slider 13. Then, the operator holds the first housing 10 and moves it away from the bracket 20, that is, pulls the first housing 10 off the bracket 20 so that the first housing 10 and the bracket 20 move away from each other. The second slider 13 abuts against the second engaging part 21. The movement of the first housing 10 and the bracket 20 away from each other causes the second engaging part 21 to squeeze the second slider 13, so that the second slider 13 switches from the first engaging position A1 to the second engaging position A2 that avoids the second engaging part 21. At the same time, the first slider 12 unlocks its lock on the second slider 13, so that the second engaging part 21 can be pulled out to the outside of the first housing 10.

[0098] The operator continues to move the first housing 10 and the bracket 20 away from each other. When the second slider 13 disengages from the interference of the second engaging part 21, the second slider 13 can switch from the second engaging position A2 to the first engaging position A1, and the entire second engaging part 21 is located outside the first housing 10. At this time, the second slider 13 disengages from the second engaging part 21, realizing the disassembly and separation of the first housing 10 and the bracket 20. After the second slider 13 disengages from the interference of the second engaging part 21, the external force on the first slider 12 can be released. When the second slider 13 is in the first engaging position A1, the second slider 13 is outside the path of the first slider 12 from the second slider position B2 to the first slider position B1, so the first slider 12 can return from the second slider position B2 to the first slider position B1.

[0099] As can be seen from the above technical solution, the electronic device in this embodiment achieves the fixed connection between the first housing and the bracket by the engagement of the movable slider and the second engaging part. In the direction perpendicular to the connection surface of the first housing and the bracket, no excessive impact force will be generated, thereby preventing damage to the electronic device.

[0100] Furthermore, the electronic device in this embodiment is easy to install. The engagement is achieved simply by bringing the first housing and the bracket closer together, simultaneously locking the engaging portion. Therefore, the installation of the electronic device in this embodiment only requires pushing the first housing towards the bracket to complete the installation.

[0101] Furthermore, although the electronic device in this embodiment locks the engaging portion in the engaged position once the engagement is achieved, the disassembly process is not complicated. It only requires moving the first slider by means of, for example, flicking or pressing, to unlock the second slider, and then moving the first housing and the bracket away from each other to unlock the engaging portion. Therefore, the disassembly of the electronic device in this embodiment requires only two actions: flicking and then pulling. The flicking action avoids accidental disassembly of the first housing, while the pulling action can be easily completed without the use of additional tools.

[0102] In a preferred embodiment, for example, Figure 3 As shown, a pair of first sliders 12 can be symmetrically arranged, for example, and the number and position of second sliders 13 correspond to the first sliders 12. The direction in which the first sliders 12 move from the first slider position B1 to the second slider position B2 can be reversed, so that the operator can conveniently use both hands to move the pair of first sliders 12 and pull the first housing to complete the disassembly of the first housing.

[0103] Furthermore, in another preferred embodiment, such as Figure 7As shown, the first housing 10 further includes one or more third sliders 14, which are disposed on the first surface 10a to engage with corresponding second engaging portions 21. The structure of the third slider 14 is the same as that of the second slider 13, and they are respectively disposed on a pair of opposite sides of the second surface 20a.

[0104] The difference between the third slider 14 and the second slider 13 is that the third slider 14 does not have a corresponding slider self-locking structure. Therefore, the third slider 14 is only used to increase the connection stability and symmetry between the bracket 20 and the first housing 10.

[0105] In the second embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 6a As shown, the second slider 13 further includes a second elastic element 131, the balance position of the second elastic element 131 corresponding to the first engagement position A1.

[0106] The second slider 13 responds to the movement of the first housing 10 and the bracket 20 toward each other, and switches from the first engagement position A1 to the second engagement position A2 along the first surface 10a so that the second engagement part 21 extends into the interior of the first housing 10, and responds to the elastic force of the second elastic element 131 so that it switches from the second engagement position A2 to the first engagement position A1 inside the first housing 10.

[0107] In response to the movement of the first housing 10 and the bracket 20 away from each other, the second slider 13 is pushed by the second engaging part 21 and moves along the first surface 10a from the first engaging position A1 to the second engaging position A2 to disengage from the second engaging part 21, and in response to the elastic force of the second elastic element 131, moves along the first surface 10a from the second engaging position A2 to the first engaging position A1.

[0108] Correspondingly, such as Figure 6a As shown, the first slider 12 further includes a first elastic element 121, and the equilibrium position of the first elastic element 121 corresponds to the first slider position B1;

[0109] The first slider 12 moves from the first slider position B1 to the second slider position B2 in response to an external force that overcomes the elastic force of the first elastic element 121, thereby releasing the lock on the second slider 13; or

[0110] The first slider 12 moves from the first slider position B1 to the second slider position B2 in response to the push of the second engaging part 21, and returns from the second slider position B2 to the first slider position B1 in response to the elastic force of the first elastic element 121.

[0111] The first slider 12 responds to the pushing of the second engaging portion 21 by including:

[0112] In response to the movement of the second engaging portion 21 along a direction perpendicular to the second surface 20a, the first slider 12 moves from the first slider position B1 to the second slider position B2. Subsequently, the second slider 13 contacts the second engaging portion 21 and moves from the first engaging position A1 to the second engaging position A2; and in response to the elastic force of the first elastic element 121, it returns from the second slider position B2 to the first slider position B1. In the above embodiment, assuming that the extension directions of the first surface 10a and the second surface 20a are parallel to each other, there are a first direction X and a second direction Y that are perpendicular to each other in a plane parallel to the extension direction of the first surface 10a or the second surface 20a. In the above description of the position changes of the first slider 12 and the second slider 13, the first engaging position A1 and the second engaging position A2 can be defined as offset in the first direction X, that is, the movement direction of the second slider 13 is along the first direction X. And the first slider position B1 and the second slider position B2 are offset in the second direction Y, that is, the movement direction of the first slider 12 is along the second direction Y.

[0113] In one embodiment, the first direction X can be implemented as a direction perpendicular to any edge of the support 20, such as along the direction of gravity, and correspondingly, the second direction Y is implemented as along the horizontal direction.

[0114] In such Figure 8 In the illustrated embodiment, the second engaging portion 21 includes an engaging body 212, an engaging portion 213 protruding from the engaging body 212, and a thrust surface 214 for abutting against the second slider 13. The first end of the engaging body 212 is mounted on the bracket 20 and is perpendicular to the second surface 20a. The engaging portion 213 is disposed at the second end of the engaging body 212. The thrust surface 214 is formed on one side of the engaging portion 213 and forms an angle with the second surface 20a. The engaging portion 213 protrudes from the engaging body 212 in the first direction X. The thrust surface 214 extends along the first direction Y and forms an angle with the second surface 20a.

[0115] In the first engaging position A1, the engaging body 212 is flush with the end of the second slider 13, and the engaging part 213 forms a limit with the second slider 13 in the first housing 10 to restrict the movement of the first housing 10 and the bracket 20 away from each other in a direction perpendicular to the first surface 10a.

[0116] In such Figure 10c As shown in the second engagement position A2, the second slider 13 avoids the engagement portion 213 of the second engagement portion 21.

[0117] Furthermore, the front end face of the engaging portion 213 (i.e., the side that first extends into the interior of the first housing 10) has a second chamfered surface 2131 that forms an angle with the second surface 20a, such as... Figure 10bAs shown, the second chamfered surface 2131 responds to the movement of the first housing 10 and the bracket 20 toward each other, and is subjected to a contact force from the second slider 13 to push the second slider 13 from the first engaging position A1 to the second engaging position A2. The second chamfered surface 2131 forms an angle with the second surface 20a, thereby forming a movement perpendicular to the second surface 20a with a vertical component along the second surface 20a, so that the second slider 13 can generate movement along the first direction X, and thus switch from the first engaging position A1 to the second engaging position A2.

[0118] The rear end face of the engaging portion 213 (i.e., the side that first extends to the outside of the first housing 10) has a second engaging surface 2132 that forms an angle with the second surface 20a. The second engaging surface 2132, in response to the movement of the first housing 10 and the bracket 20 away from each other, receives a contact force from the second slider 13 to push the second slider 13 from the first engaging position A1 to the second engaging position A2. Similarly, the second engaging surface 2132 forms an angle with the second surface 20a, thereby forming a vertical component in the movement perpendicular to the second surface 20a, enabling the second slider 13 to move along the first direction X, and thus switch from the first engaging position A1 to the second engaging position A2.

[0119] In such Figure 9 and Figure 11 In the illustrated embodiment, the first slider 12 includes:

[0120] The slider body 122 is movably mounted on the first housing 10 along the second direction Y;

[0121] Slider locking rib 123, the slider locking rib 123 protrudes from the slider body 122 along the second direction Y; and

[0122] The force-guiding surface 124 is used to abut against the second engaging part 21. It is formed at the end of any slider locking rib 123 and forms an angle with the first surface 10a.

[0123] In such Figure 6a The first slider position B1 shown has the slider locking rib 123 located in the path between the first engagement position A1 and the second engagement position A2, and abuts against the second slider 13 located in the first engagement position A1 to lock the second slider 13 in the first engagement position A1;

[0124] In such Figure 6b As shown in the second slider position B2, the slider locking rib 123 moves outside the path between the first engagement position A1 and the second engagement position A2.

[0125] Furthermore, such as Figure 11As shown, the first slider 12 includes:

[0126] The slider head 125 is used to receive external force. The slider head 125 is located at the first end of the slider body 122 and is exposed outside the first housing 10. The slider locking rib 123 is located at the second end of the slider body 122.

[0127] In this embodiment, the connection process between the first housing 10 and the bracket 20 of the electronic device includes:

[0128] like Figure 10a As shown, when the first housing 10 and the bracket 20 are not connected, the second engaging part 21 is located outside the first housing 10, the second slider 13 is held in the first engaging position A1, and the first slider 12 is held in the first slider position B1 inside the first housing 10.

[0129] like Figure 10e As shown, the operator can hold the first housing 10 and move it toward the bracket 20, so that the first housing 10 and the bracket 20 move toward each other. The first slider 12 contacts the second engaging part 21. Specifically, the guiding surface 124 of the first slider 12 abuts against the pushing surface 214 of the second engaging part 21, and moves from the first slider position B1 to the second slider position B2. At this time, the second slider 13 has not yet contacted the second engaging part 21. Specifically, combined with Figure 10b As shown, the movement of the first housing 10 and the bracket 20 toward each other causes the second slider 13 to press against the second chamfered surface 2131 of the second engaging portion 21, thereby causing the second slider 13 to switch along the first direction X from the first engaging position A1 to the position that avoids the second engaging portion 21. Figure 10c The second engaging position is shown as A2. Subsequently, under the action of the second elastic element 131, the second slider 13 returns from the second engaging position A2 to the first engaging position A1. Since the second slider 13 is no longer within the movement path of the first slider 12, the first slider 12 returns from the second slider position B2 to the first slider position B1 under the action of the first elastic element 121.

[0130] Combination Figure 8As shown, the second engaging portion 21 further includes a rear housing receiving groove 215, which can limit the movement of the first slider 12 in the direction of movement and in two directions perpendicular to its direction of movement. The slider locking rib where the guiding surface 124 of the first slider 12 is located can extend into the rear housing receiving groove 215 without obstruction. When the first surface 10a and the second surface 20a are in contact, the second slider 13 corresponds to the first engaging position A1, and the engaging part of the second engaging portion 21 is limited to the second slider 13. At the same time, the first slider 12 is in the first slider position B1, which limits the second slider 13 to the first engaging position A1. At this time, the second slider 13 engages with the second engaging portion 21 to limit the relative movement of the first housing 10 and the bracket 20 in the direction perpendicular to the first surface 10a (or the second surface 20a), thereby achieving a fixed connection between the first housing 10 and the bracket 20.

[0131] The disassembly process of the first housing 10 and the bracket 20 of the electronic device in this embodiment includes:

[0132] like Figure 10d As shown, when the first housing 10 and the bracket 20 are connected, the second engaging portion 21 is located inside the first housing 10, the engaging portion 213 is confined to the second slider 13, and the second slider 13 is held in the first engaging position A1. The first slider 12 is in the first slider position B1 that confines the second slider 13 to the first engaging position A1. Specifically, it is located in the path from the first engaging position A1 to the second engaging position A2, for example, by limiting the second slider 13 in the first direction X.

[0133] At this point, if the operator holds the first housing 10 and moves it away from the support 20, i.e., pulls the first housing 10 away from the support 20, so that the first housing 10 and the support 20 move in opposite directions, the second slider 13 abuts against the second engaging part 21. The movement of the first housing 10 and the support 20 in opposite directions causes the second engaging part 21 to press the second slider 13, causing the second slider 13 to switch from the first engaging position A1 to the second engaging position A2, which avoids the second engaging part 21. However, since the first slider 12 is located in the path from the first engaging position A1 to the second engaging position A2, it will limit the second slider 13 to the first engaging position A1. Thus, due to the limiting effect of the first slider 12, the movement of the first housing 10 and the support 20 in opposite directions cannot cause the second slider 13 to disengage from the second engaging part 21, and the first housing 10 and the support 20 can be stably connected.

[0134] When it is necessary to disassemble the first housing 10 and the bracket 20, the first slider 12 must first be moved from the first slider position B1 to the second slider position B2 by external force to unlock the first slider 12 from locking the second slider 13. For example, by manually turning the slider head 125 to overcome the elastic force of the first elastic element 121, the first slider 12 is moved from the first slider position B1 to the second slider position B2 and held at the second slider position B2. Then, the operator holds the first housing 10 and moves it away from the bracket 20, that is, pulls the first housing 10 away from the bracket 20 so that the first housing 10 and the bracket 20 move away from each other. The second slider 13 abuts against the second engaging part 21, specifically, the second engaging surface 2132 abuts against the inner edge of the second engaging part 21. The movement of the first housing 10 and the bracket 20 away from each other causes the second engaging surface 2132 of the second engaging part 21 to press the second slider 13, so that the second slider 13 moves freely. Figure 10d The first engagement position A1 shown is switched to the position as follows: Figure 10c The second engaging position A2 of the second engaging part 21 is shown to avoid the second engaging part 21. At the same time, the first slider 12 unlocks the lock on the second slider 13, thereby pulling the second engaging part 21 out to the outside of the first housing 10.

[0135] The operator continues to move the first housing 10 and the support 20 away from each other, via Figure 10b Switch to Figure 10a As shown, when the second slider 13 disengages from the interference of the second engaging part 21, the second slider 13 can switch from the second engaging position A2 to the first engaging position A1, and the second engaging part 21 moves outward from the first housing 10. At this time, the second slider 13 disengages from the engagement of the second engaging part 21, realizing the disassembly and separation of the first housing 10 from the bracket 20. After the second slider 13 disengages from the interference of the second engaging part 21, and when the second slider 13 is in the first engaging position A1, the second slider 13 is outside the path of the first slider 12 changing from the second slider position B2 to the first slider position B1, and the restriction on the first slider 12 can be released, so the first slider 12 can return from the second slider position B2 to the first slider position B1.

[0136] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 12 As shown, the running trajectories of the first slider and the second slider can be further defined by the cover plate 126 in the direction along the first surface 10a.

[0137] As can be seen from the above technical solution, the electronic device in this embodiment achieves the fixed connection between the first housing and the bracket by the engagement of the movable slider and the second engaging part. In the direction perpendicular to the connection surface of the first housing and the bracket, no excessive impact force will be generated, thereby preventing damage to the electronic device.

[0138] Furthermore, the electronic device in this embodiment is easy to install. The engagement is achieved simply by bringing the first housing and the bracket closer together, simultaneously locking the engaging portion. Therefore, the installation of the electronic device in this embodiment only requires pushing the first housing towards the bracket to complete the installation.

[0139] Furthermore, although the electronic device in this embodiment locks the engaging portion in the engaged position once the engagement is achieved, its disassembly process is not complicated. It only requires, for example, moving the first slider to unlock the second slider, and then moving the first housing and the bracket away from each other to unlock the engaging portion. Therefore, disassembly of the electronic device in this embodiment requires only two actions: a flick followed by a pull. The flicking action avoids accidental disassembly of the first housing, while the pulling action can be conveniently completed without the use of additional tools.
