Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a portable electronic device with a keyboard, and more particularly to an assembly structure of a portable electronic device and its keyboard module. Background Technology

[0002] To facilitate the operation of electronic products, they are often used with keyboards, or the products themselves have built-in keyboards. For example, laptops typically have built-in keyboards. Generally, the casing of a laptop with the keyboard is called the C-component, and the keyboard's base plate is directly fixed to the upper surface of the C-component using screws or thermoforming, thereby mounting the entire keyboard onto the laptop's C-component.

[0003] However, there are many points where laptops and keyboards need to be secured. Currently, the assembly methods of screws or thermoforming are time-consuming and difficult or impossible to disassemble, which also makes it impossible to make mistakes during assembly, increasing manufacturing costs. There is a real need for improvement. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned problems, the main objective of the present invention is to provide a portable electronic device with a keyboard, wherein the housing of the portable electronic device includes at least one first engaging structure, and the base plate of the keyboard module includes at least one second engaging structure. The novel structure of the first and second engaging structures solves the problem of time-consuming and difficult disassembly caused by the known assembly methods of fixing the housing and keyboard module to the portable electronic device using screws or thermoforming.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a portable electronic device with a keyboard, comprising a housing and a keyboard module. The housing includes a receiving groove, at least one first mounting hole, and at least one first engaging structure. The first mounting hole is located in the receiving groove. The first engaging structure includes a first inclined portion and a first abutting portion. One end of the first inclined portion is connected to the sidewall of the first mounting hole, and the other end extends upward and toward the first mounting hole and connects to the first abutting portion. The keyboard module includes a base plate. The base plate includes at least one second mounting hole and at least one second engaging structure. The second engaging structure includes a second inclined portion and a second abutting portion. One end of the second inclined portion is connected to the sidewall of the second mounting hole, and the other end extends downward and toward the second mounting hole and connects to the second abutting portion. When the keyboard module is assembled into the receiving groove of the housing along the assembly direction, the first abutting portion and the second abutting portion abut against each other.

[0006] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the extension direction of the first engaging structure is parallel to the assembly direction.

[0007] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the second engaging structure further includes a third inclined portion, one end of which is connected to the other side wall of the second mounting hole, and the other end extends downward and toward the second mounting hole and is connected to the second abutment portion. The opposite ends of the second abutment portion are respectively connected to the second inclined portion and the third inclined portion.

[0008] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the second engaging structure further includes a reinforcing portion extending downward from the sidewall of the second mounting hole located between the second inclined portion and the third inclined portion, and interconnecting with the second inclined portion and the third inclined portion.

[0009] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the second engaging structure is perpendicular to the assembly direction.

[0010] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the base plate further includes a first positioning hole disposed on the side of the base plate. The long axis of the first positioning hole is parallel to the assembly direction. The housing includes a first positioning post located within the first positioning hole.

[0011] According to one embodiment of the present invention, when the keyboard module is assembled into the receiving slot of the housing, the first positioning post is initially positioned below the first positioning hole. After the keyboard module moves along the assembly direction, the first positioning post is positioned above the first positioning hole.

[0012] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the base plate further includes a second positioning hole disposed on the side of the base plate. The housing further includes a third positioning hole. When the first positioning pin is located above the first positioning hole, the second positioning hole and the third positioning hole overlap each other.

[0013] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the portable electronic device further includes a retaining strip having a second positioning post. The second positioning post passes through a second positioning hole and a third positioning hole, thereby fixing the retaining strip to the housing.

[0014] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the housing further includes a third mounting hole, which includes a first portion and a second portion communicating with each other. The base plate further includes a third engaging structure, which includes a connecting rod and an engaging portion. The opposite ends of the connecting rod are respectively connected to the base plate and the engaging portion. The inner diameter of the first portion is larger than the outer diameter of the engaging portion. The inner diameter of the second portion is smaller than the outer diameter of the engaging portion but larger than the outer diameter of the connecting rod.

[0015] According to one embodiment of the present invention, when the keyboard module is assembled to the housing along the assembly direction, the third engaging structure is accommodated in the third mounting hole and moves from the first part to the second part, and the engaging part is fixed to the bottom of the second part.

[0016] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the width of the second beveled portion gradually decreases from the sidewall of the second mounting hole toward the second abutment portion.

[0017] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the bottom of the second abutment portion is located inside the first mounting hole of the housing.

[0018] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the base plate further includes at least one through hole, which is disposed adjacent to the second mounting hole and close to the second beveled portion.

[0019] As described above, the portable electronic device with a keyboard according to the present invention includes a housing and a keyboard module. The housing includes a first mounting hole and a first engaging structure. The first engaging structure includes a first beveled portion and a first abutting portion. The bottom plate of the keyboard module includes a second mounting hole and a second engaging structure. When the keyboard module is assembled to the housing, the downwardly extending second engaging structure can be inserted into the bottom side of the upwardly extending first engaging structure, so that the first abutting portion and the second abutting portion abut against each other, thereby quickly fixing the relative position of the housing and the keyboard module. Therefore, the keyboard module only needs to be inserted into the receiving slot of the housing in a translational manner to fix the keyboard module to the housing, thereby achieving the effect of quick assembly. Conversely, if it is necessary to disassemble the keyboard module, it is only necessary to move the keyboard module in the opposite direction to achieve the same quick disassembly effect.

[0072] To better understand the technical content of the present invention, preferred embodiments are described below.

[0073] Figure 1 This is a partial schematic diagram of a portable electronic device with a keyboard according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 for Figure 1 An exploded view of the portable electronic device shown. Figure 3 for Figure 2 Please refer to the schematic diagram showing the assembly of the base plate and backlight module into the housing. Figure 1, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown. The portable electronic device 1 of this embodiment includes a housing 10 and a keyboard module 20. First, the portable electronic device 1 of this embodiment is based on a notebook computer, and the housing 10 is the C-component shell of the notebook computer. It should be noted that the drawings of the portable electronic device 1 in this case only show the C-component shell. The keyboard module 20 is mounted on the housing 10 to form a portable electronic device 1 with a keyboard. In other embodiments, the portable electronic device 1 may also be a keyboard device, and the housing 10 may be the shell of the keyboard device; this invention is not limited.

[0074] like Figure 2 As shown, the housing 10 of this embodiment includes a receiving groove 11, at least one first mounting hole 12, and at least one first engaging structure 13. The receiving groove 11 is the area for mounting the keyboard module 20. The receiving groove 11 has an open side 111 located on the long side of the receiving groove 11 and close to the pivot side of the portable electronic device 1 (i.e., the side where the display and the host are connected, not shown), allowing the keyboard module 20 to be mounted along... Figure 2 The assembly direction AD shown is used to assemble the housing 10. In this embodiment, the assembly direction AD is parallel to the short side of the receiving groove 11, but this invention is not limited thereto. Furthermore, the housing 10 in this embodiment includes a plurality of first mounting holes 12 and a plurality of first engaging structures 13, all of which are located in the receiving groove 11. Figure 4A for Figure 3 Please refer to the enlarged schematic diagram of region A shown below. Figure 4A As shown. In this embodiment, the first mounting hole 12 is an open structure, and the first engaging structure 13 is located inside the first mounting hole 12 for assembly with the keyboard module 20.

[0075] Specifically, the first engaging structure 13 includes a first inclined portion 131 and a first abutting portion 132, such as... Figure 4A As shown. One end of the first beveled portion 131 is connected to the side wall of the first mounting hole 12, and the other end extends upward and toward the first mounting hole 12 and connects to the first abutment portion 132. Here, "upward" refers to the direction toward the keyboard module 20. In other words, one end of the first beveled portion 131 is connected to the side wall of the first mounting hole 12, and the other end extends upward toward the interior of the first mounting hole 12. The first abutment portion 132 has a flat structure and is connected to the end of the first beveled portion 131 opposite to the side wall of the first mounting hole 12, so that the first engaging structure 13 forms a tongue-shaped structure. In this embodiment, the first abutment portion 132 is substantially parallel to the surface of the receiving groove 11, but this invention is not limited thereto.

[0076] When manufacturing the housing 10 of this embodiment, a first mounting hole 12 can be formed by punching, followed by the formation of a first engaging structure 13, which is then positioned within the first mounting hole 12. Furthermore, a first inclined portion 131 and a first abutting portion 132 are formed extending upward from the sidewall of the first mounting hole 12. The upwardly inclined portion is the first inclined portion 131, while the flat portion extending further into the first mounting hole 12 is the first abutting portion 132.

[0077] like Figure 2 As shown, the keyboard module 20 of this embodiment includes a base plate 21, a thin-film circuit board 22, and multiple key structures 23. In this embodiment, the thin-film circuit board 22 and the key structures 23 are disposed above the base plate 21. In other embodiments, the thin-film circuit board 22 may be disposed below the base plate 21; this is not a limitation of the present invention. Preferably, the keyboard module 20 of this embodiment also includes a backlight module 24, which is disposed below the base plate 21. The connection relationship between the thin-film circuit board 22, the key structures 23, the backlight module 24, and the base plate 21 is common knowledge in the technical field of this invention and will not be described in detail here.

[0078] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4A As shown, the base plate 21 includes at least one second mounting hole 211 and at least one second engaging structure 212. Specifically, in addition to the common structural holes, the base plate 21 of this embodiment also has multiple second mounting holes 211. The second engaging structure 212 is adjacent to the second mounting hole 211 and is used to connect with the first engaging structure 13. The second mounting hole 211 can be an independent opening or an extension of a structural hole; in this embodiment, the opening with the second engaging structure 212 is referred to as the second mounting hole 211. Figure 4A As shown, the second engaging structure 212 includes a second inclined portion 2121 and a second abutting portion 2122. One end of the second inclined portion 2121 is connected to the sidewall of the second mounting hole 211, and the other end extends downward and toward the second mounting hole 211 and connects to the second abutting portion 2122. Here, "downward" refers to the direction toward the housing 10. In other words, one end of the second inclined portion 2121 is connected to the sidewall of the second mounting hole 211, and the other end extends downward toward the interior of the second mounting hole 211. The second abutting portion 2122 has a flat structure and is connected to the end of the second inclined portion 2121 opposite to the sidewall of the second mounting hole 211.

[0079] When manufacturing the base plate 21 of this embodiment, the second mounting hole 211 is formed simultaneously with the punching of the structural hole, followed by the formation of the second engaging structure 212. In this embodiment, the second engaging structure 212 is located within the second mounting hole 211 and extends downward from the side wall of the second mounting hole 211 to form a second inclined portion 2121 and a second abutting portion 2122. The downwardly inclined portion is the second inclined portion 2121, and the flat portion extending further into the second mounting hole 211 is the second abutting portion 2122. In this embodiment, the second abutting portion 2122 is approximately parallel to the surface of the base plate, but this is not a limitation of the present invention. Therefore, when the keyboard module 20 is assembled into the receiving groove 11 of the housing 10, the downwardly extending second engaging structure 212 can be inserted into the bottom side of the upwardly extending first engaging structure 13, so that the first abutting portion 132 and the second abutting portion 2122 abut against each other, thereby quickly fixing the relative position of the housing 10 and the keyboard module 20. The operation of assembling the keyboard module 20 into the housing 10 will be explained in more detail later. The following describes other structural features of the first engaging structure 13 and the second engaging structure 212 in this embodiment.

[0080] Preferably, the second engaging structure 212 further includes a third inclined portion 2123. One end of the third inclined portion 2123 is connected to the other side wall of the second mounting hole 211, for example, the side wall opposite to the second inclined portion 2121. Furthermore, the other end of the third inclined portion 2123 extends downwards and toward the second mounting hole 211 and connects to the second abutment portion 2122. In other words, the opposite ends of the second abutment portion are respectively connected to the second inclined portion 2121 and the third inclined portion 2123, and both the second inclined portion 2121 and the third inclined portion 2123 extend downwards and toward the second mounting hole 211, so that the second engaging structure 212 forms a bridge-shaped support structure.

[0081] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the keyboard module 20 can be assembled to the housing 10 along the assembly direction AD. Preferably, the assembly direction AD is parallel to the minor axis of the housing 10. In this embodiment, the extension direction of the first engaging structure 13 is parallel to the assembly direction AD. That is, the first engaging structure 13 of the tongue structure is parallel to the assembly direction AD. Furthermore, the second engaging structure 212 is perpendicular to the assembly direction AD. That is, the second engaging structure 212 of the bridge-type bracket structure is perpendicular to the assembly direction AD. Therefore, when the keyboard module 20 is assembled to the housing 10 along the assembly direction AD, the second engaging structure 212 can be directly inserted into the bottom side of the first abutment portion 132, causing the first abutment portion 132 and the second abutment portion 2122 to abut against each other.

[0082] In other embodiments, the first engaging structure 13 can also be an upwardly extending bridge-shaped support structure, perpendicular to the assembly direction. Correspondingly, the second engaging structure 212 is a downwardly extending tongue structure, parallel to the assembly direction. The aforementioned structures can also achieve the effect of quickly fixing the relative positions of the housing 10 and the keyboard module 20. The angle between the first engaging structure 13 and the second engaging structure 212 can also be adjusted according to actual needs; this invention is not limited thereto.

[0083] Figure 4B for Figure 3 Please refer to the enlarged schematic diagram of region B shown. Figure 4A and Figure 4B As shown. Figure 4A As shown, the second engaging structure 212 can maintain the same width, meaning that the widths of the second inclined portion 2121, the second abutting portion 2122, and the third inclined portion 2123 are all the same. Figure 4B As shown, the base plate 21 of this embodiment may further include a second engaging structure 212a with different widths. Preferably, the width of the second inclined portion 2121a of the second engaging structure 212a gradually decreases from the side wall of the second mounting hole 211 towards the second abutment portion 2122a. Similarly, the width of the third inclined portion 2123a gradually decreases from the side wall of the second mounting hole 211 towards the second abutment portion 2122a. Through the aforementioned structure, the second inclined portion 2121a and the third inclined portion 2123a form a trapezoidal structure that gradually decreases towards the second abutment portion 2122a, thereby improving the structural strength of the second engaging structure 212a.

[0084] In addition, the base plate 21 in this embodiment also includes a closed second engaging structure 212b, which is adjacent to the second mounting hole 211, such as Figure 4C As shown. Figure 4C for Figure 3 The diagram shows an enlarged view of region C. The second engaging structure 212b in this embodiment also includes a reinforcing portion 2124b, which extends downward from the sidewall of the second mounting hole 211 located between the second inclined portion 2121b and the third inclined portion 2123b, and connects with both the second inclined portion 2121b and the third inclined portion 2123b to form a closed structure. In other words, the reinforcing portion 2124b is located between the second inclined portion 2121b and the third inclined portion 2123b, and its opposite sides connect to the second inclined portion 2121b and the third inclined portion 2123b respectively to form a closed structure. The reinforcement portion 2124b also enhances the structural strength of the second engaging structure 212b.

[0085] Better, such as Figure 4CAs shown, the base plate 21 of this embodiment further includes at least one through hole 213, which is disposed adjacent to the second mounting hole 211 and close to the second inclined surface 2121b. In this embodiment, the second mounting hole 211 has a through hole 213 on each of its opposite sides, respectively close to the second inclined surface 2121b and the third inclined surface 2123b. The base plate 21 of this embodiment is a second engaging structure 212b formed by punching and stretching to create a bridge-shaped bracket. The design of the through hole 213 can prevent deformation of the second engaging structure 212b during stretching. This embodiment takes a closed second engaging structure 212b with through holes 213 on both sides as an example (e.g.) Figure 4C In other embodiments, a second engaging structure 212 of the same width (e.g.) Figure 4A ) or a second engagement structure 212a with a gradually narrowing width (such as Figure 4B Through holes 213 can also be designed on both sides of the )

[0086] Figure 4D for Figure 3 Please refer to the diagram showing the decomposition of region D. Figure 3 and Figure 4D As shown. Preferably, the housing 10 of this embodiment further includes a third mounting hole 14, which is located within the receiving groove 11. The third mounting hole 14 includes a first portion 141 and a second portion 142 that are interconnected. The inner diameter of the first portion 141 is larger than the inner diameter of the second portion 142, making the third mounting hole 14 form a gourd-shaped hole. Furthermore, the third mounting hole 14 is sequentially composed of the first portion 141 and the second portion 142 along the assembly direction AD. Additionally, the base plate 21 also includes a third engaging structure 214, which includes a connecting rod 2141 and an engaging portion 2142. The two ends of the connecting rod 2141 are respectively connected to the base plate 21 and the engaging portion 2142, and the outer diameter of the connecting rod 2141 is smaller than the outer diameter of the engaging portion 2142. In this embodiment, the third engaging structure 214 can be a rivet riveted to the base plate 21. Specifically, the head of the third engaging structure 214 (i.e., the rivet) is riveted to the base plate 21, and other structures (i.e., the connecting rod 2141 and the engaging part 2142) pass through the base plate 21 and are located at the bottom of the base plate 21.

[0087] In this embodiment, the inner diameter of the first portion 141 of the third mounting hole 14 is larger than the outer diameter of the engaging portion 2142. When the keyboard module 20 is assembled into the receiving groove 11 of the housing 10, the engaging portion 2142 can first pass through the first portion 141 to the bottom of the housing 10, and the third engaging structure 214 is accommodated in the first portion 141 of the third mounting hole 14. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the inner diameter of the second portion 142 is smaller than the outer diameter of the engaging portion 2142 and larger than the outer diameter of the connecting rod 2141. The inner diameter of the second portion 142 is larger than the outer diameter of the connecting rod 2141, so that the third engaging structure 214 can move back and forth between the first portion 141 and the second portion 142 of the third mounting hole 14 via the connecting rod 2141. Therefore, when the keyboard module 20 is assembled into the housing 10 along the assembly direction AD, the third engaging structure 214 also moves from the first portion 141 to the second portion 142 via the connecting rod 2141. Since the inner diameter of the second part 142 is smaller than the outer diameter of the engaging part 2142, the engaging part 2142 can be fixed to the bottom of the second part 142, thereby fixing the relative position of the keyboard module 20 and the housing 10. Therefore, the design of the third mounting hole 14 and the third engaging structure 214 can also achieve the effect of quickly assembling and disassembling the keyboard module 20 and the housing 10.

[0088] Figure 5 for Figure 1 The diagram shown is a schematic of the keyboard module before it is assembled with the housing. Figure 6 for Figure 5 The diagram shows the keyboard module being placed into the receiving slot of the housing. Figure 7 for Figure 6 An enlarged schematic diagram of the base plate and shell in region E is shown. Figure 8 for Figure 6 The diagram shown is an illustration of the keyboard module fully inserted into the receiving slot. Please refer to it. Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown. With the aforementioned structure, when assembling the portable electronic device 1 of this embodiment, the keyboard module 20 can first be aligned with the receiving groove 11 of the housing 10, and the keyboard module 20 can be inserted into the receiving groove 11 from the opening side 111, and then pushed towards the bottom edge 112 of the receiving groove 11 along the assembly direction AD. At this time, there is still a gap S between the keyboard module 20 and the bottom edge 112 of the receiving groove 11 (e.g., ...). Figure 6 As shown), and the second engaging structure 212a has not yet abutted against the first engaging structure 13 (as shown). Figure 7 (As shown). It should be noted that, Figure 7 Taking the second engaging structure 212a as an example, the second engaging structures 212 and 212b are also separated from their corresponding first engaging structure 13 and have not yet come into contact with each other.

[0089] Next, simply apply force to the keyboard module 20 until it is fully against the bottom edge 112 of the receiving slot 11, as shown. Figure 8 As shown. At this time, the second engaging structures 212, 212a, and 212b move to the bottom side of the first engaging structure 13, so that the second abutting portions 2122, 2122a, and 2122b abut against the first abutting portion 132, as shown. Figure 4A , Figure 4B , Figure 4C As shown. Therefore, in this embodiment, the keyboard module 20 only needs to be inserted into the receiving groove 11 from the opening side 111 in a translational manner to fix the keyboard module 20 to the housing 10, thereby achieving the effect of quick assembly. Conversely, if it is necessary to disassemble the keyboard module 20, simply move the keyboard module 20 in the opposite direction to achieve the same quick disassembly effect.

[0090] Figure 9 for Figure 8 Please refer to the schematic cross-sectional view of region F shown. Figure 4A Diagram and Figure 9 As shown above, when the keyboard module 20 is fully abutted against the bottom edge 112 of the receiving groove 11, the second abutting part 2122 moves to the bottom side of the first engaging structure 13 and abuts against the first abutting part 132. At this time, the second abutting part 2122 is located inside the first mounting hole 12 of the housing 10 and is located below the first abutting part 132, as shown. Figure 9 As shown. Preferably, in this embodiment, the bottom of the second abutment portion 2122 is also located within the first mounting hole 12. In other words, the bottom of the second abutment portion 2122 is higher than the bottom side of the housing 10 (i.e., the C-part housing), so that the bottom of the second abutment portion 2122 is located within the first mounting hole 12. The fact that the second abutment portion 2122 is located within the first mounting hole 12 avoids interference with electronic components below the housing 10 (i.e., the C-part housing).

[0091] Figure 10A for Figure 6 An enlarged schematic diagram of region G is shown. Figure 10B for Figure 8 Please refer to the enlarged schematic diagram of region H shown. Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 8 , Figure 10A and Figure 10BAs shown. Preferably, the base plate 21 of this embodiment further includes a first positioning hole 215, which is disposed on the side of the base plate 21. For example, the first positioning hole 215 may be disposed on the side wall of the base plate 21 corresponding to the opening side 111. Specifically, the side wall of the base plate 21 corresponding to the opening side 111 extends outward to form a protrusion, and a hole is formed in the protrusion to form the first positioning hole 215. Furthermore, the first positioning hole 215 is an elongated hole, and its long axis direction is parallel to the assembly direction AD. Correspondingly, the housing 10 includes a first positioning post 15. When the keyboard module 20 is assembled into the receiving groove 11 of the housing 10 (i.e. Figure 6 In this state, the first positioning pin 15 can be simultaneously passed through the first positioning hole 215, so that the first positioning pin 15 is located inside the first positioning hole 215. Furthermore, the first positioning pin 15 is first placed on the lower side of the first positioning hole 215, such as... Figure 10A As shown.

[0092] Next, the keyboard module 20 moves along the assembly direction AD to abut the bottom edge 112 of the receiving groove 11 (i.e., Figure 8 (in the state of...), at the same time, the first positioning hole 215 moves to position the first positioning pin 15 above the first positioning hole 215, such as... Figure 10B As shown. Therefore, the width of the first positioning hole 215 and the size of the first positioning post 15 can be designed according to the distance to be moved when assembling the keyboard module 20. Through the structure of the first positioning hole 215 and the first positioning post 15, it can be ensured that the keyboard module 20 moves a specific distance during assembly, so as to avoid incomplete assembly or damage to the first engaging structure 13 and the second engaging structure 212 due to excessive movement.

[0093] Figure 11 for Figure 8 Please refer to the enlarged view of the upper left corner of the portable electronic device shown. Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 8 and Figure 11 As shown. The portable electronic device 1 of this embodiment also includes a pressure strip 30. Therefore, the portable electronic device 1 can be applied to a notebook computer with a pressure strip 30. Preferably, the base plate 21 of this embodiment also includes a second positioning hole 216, which is provided on the side of the base plate 21. The second positioning hole 216 of this embodiment is also provided on the side of the base plate 21 corresponding to the opening side 111 of the receiving groove 11. Similarly, the side wall of the base plate 21 corresponding to the opening side 111 extends outward to form a protrusion, and a hole is formed in the protrusion to form the second positioning hole 216. Furthermore, the housing 10 also includes a third positioning hole 16, which is adjacent to the opening side 111, as shown. Figure 2 As shown. When the keyboard module 20 moves to abut the bottom edge 112 of the receiving groove 11, the first positioning post 15 is located above the first positioning hole 215 (i.e., Figure 8 and Figure 10B(in the state), the second positioning hole 216 and the third positioning hole 16 overlap each other, as shown in the example. Figure 11 As shown.

[0094] Furthermore, the pressure strip 30 in this embodiment has a second positioning post 31. When the second positioning hole 216 and the third positioning hole 16 overlap, the second positioning post 31 can pass through the second positioning hole 216 and the third positioning hole 16, so that the pressure strip 30 is fixed to the housing 10, and the keyboard module 20 can be fixed to the housing 10 at the same time.

[0095] In summary, the portable electronic device with a keyboard according to the present invention includes a housing and a keyboard module. The housing includes a first mounting hole and a first engaging structure. The first engaging structure includes a first beveled portion and a first abutting portion. The bottom plate of the keyboard module includes a second mounting hole and a second engaging structure. When the keyboard module is assembled to the housing, the downwardly extending second engaging structure can be inserted into the bottom side of the upwardly extending first engaging structure, so that the first abutting portion and the second abutting portion abut against each other, thereby quickly fixing the relative position of the housing and the keyboard module. Therefore, the keyboard module only needs to be inserted into the receiving slot of the housing in a translational manner to fix the keyboard module to the housing, thereby achieving the effect of quick assembly. Conversely, if it is necessary to disassemble the keyboard module, simply moving the keyboard module in the opposite direction can also achieve the effect of quick disassembly.

[0096] It should be noted that the above embodiments are examples for illustrative purposes only, and the scope of the claims of this invention should be determined by the claims, and not limited to the above embodiments.
