[0040] The exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided in order to enable a more thorough understanding of the present disclosure and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.
[0041] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the technical terms or scientific terms used in this application should have the common meanings understood by technicians in the field to which this application belongs.
[0042] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 8 As shown, the present application provides a housing, comprising:
[0043] A first cover 1;
[0044] The second cover body 2 is opposite to the first cover body 1 along the first direction and can cooperate with the first cover body 1 to form an accommodating space; the second cover body 2 can move relative to the first cover body 1 so that the second cover body 2 switches between the first state or the second state;
[0045] A conductive part 3 is disposed in the accommodating space, and the conductive part 3 is used to electrically contact the power supply module 4 in the accommodating space;
[0046] When the second cover body 2 is in the first state, the accommodating space is in an exposed state, and the conductive part 3 is spaced from the power supply module 4; when the second cover body 2 is in the second state, the accommodating space is in a non-exposed state, and the conductive part 3 is in electrical contact with the power supply module 4.
[0047] The housing of the present application can be applied to keyboards, mobile phones, tablet computers, industrial control devices, etc.
[0048] Specifically, the first cover body 1 provides physical protection and structural support for the electronic components inside the device, ensuring the overall strength and stability of the device.
[0049] The second cover 2 can realize the function of opening or closing the device by switching between the first state and the second state. The second cover 2 can move relative to the first cover 1, for example, the second cover 2 is connected to the first cover 1 by rotation; or, the second cover 2 is connected to the first cover 1 by sliding; or, the second cover 2 is plugged into the first cover 1; or, the second cover 2 is connected to the first cover 1 by snapping; or, the second cover 2 is connected to the first cover 1 by magnetic attraction, etc. The specific connection method between the second cover 2 and the second cover 2 can be specifically designed according to the type of device used for the shell.
[0050] When the second cover 2 is in the first state, the accommodating space is open, at which time the conductive portion 3 is spaced from the power supply module 4, and the circuit inside the device is disconnected, thereby avoiding unnecessary power consumption of the power supply module 4; and the exposed accommodating space enables the user to conveniently inspect, maintain or replace components inside the device without complicated disassembly process, thereby improving the efficiency of device maintenance;
[0051] When the second cover body 2 is in the second state, the accommodating space is closed. At this time, the conductive part 3 is in electrical contact with the power supply module 4, the circuit inside the device is in passage, and the power supply module 4 inside the device supplies power normally, so that the device starts and runs; and the non-exposed accommodating space effectively encapsulates the electrical components in the accommodating space, reduces the impact of external environmental factors (such as dust, moisture, mechanical shock, etc.) on the internal circuit and various components, and improves the safety and stability of the device operation.
[0052] The conductive part 3 can be in electrical contact with the power supply module 4. The conductive part 3 is electrically connected to the circuit inside the device, and the power supply module 4 is electrically connected to the circuit inside the device through the conductive part 3. The second cover body 2 is connected to the conductive part 3, so that when the second cover body 2 switches between the first state and the second state, the conductive part 3 can be actuated, thereby making the conductive part 3 in contact with or spaced from the power supply module 4. For example, when the second cover body 2 is in the first state, the second cover body 2 is separated from the conductive part 3, and there is no connection or no connection; when the second cover body 2 switches from the first state to the second state, the second cover body 2 is connected to the conductive part 3, and drives the conductive part 3 to approach the power supply module 4 until it is in electrical contact with the power supply module 4.
[0053] The conductive part 3 may be in contact with the positive electrode and / or the negative electrode of the power supply module 4. The conductive part 3 may be made of a material having a conductive function, such as metal, graphene, and the like.
[0054] The power supply module 4 inside the device can be a battery or a power supply module connected to an external power source.
[0055] In the housing provided by the present application, the first cover body 1 and the second cover body 2 cooperate with each other in a first direction to form an accommodating space, and the second cover body 2 can move relative to the first cover body 1. When the second cover body 2 moves to the first state, the accommodating space is in an exposed state. At this time, the conductive part 3 is spaced from the power supply module 4, which ensures that the internal circuit of the device is disconnected when not in use, reduces unnecessary power consumption, and the exposed accommodating space is conducive to the inspection, maintenance and replacement of parts of the device;
[0056] When the second cover 2 moves to the second state, the accommodating space is in a non-exposed state. At this time, the conductive part 3 is in electrical contact with the power supply module 4, which ensures the internal circuit path of the device when in use, ensures that the device is powered normally and starts running; at the same time, the non-exposed accommodating space realizes effective packaging and protection of components such as the conductive part 3 and the power supply module 4, and improves the safety and stability of the device operation. The housing of the present application utilizes the characteristics of the movement of the second cover 2, creatively combines the switch function with the housing structure, simplifies the design of the product, and reduces the production cost.
[0057] In some embodiments, the conductive part 3 includes:
[0058] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 7 As shown, the connecting member 31 is movably connected to the first cover body 1, and the second cover body 2 is detachably connected to the connecting member 31. The movement of the second cover body 2 can drive the connecting member 31 to move, so that the connecting member 31 is in electrical contact or spaced from the power supply module 4.
[0059] Specifically, a slot 311 can be set on the connector 31, and a connector 21 can be set on the second cover body 2. The connector 21 is located on the side of the second cover body 2 facing the first cover body 1. When the second cover body 2 is in the first state, the connector 21 is separated from the slot 311; when the second cover body 2 is switched from the second state to the first state, the connector 21 extends into the slot 311 to realize the connection between the connector 31 and the second cover body 2. At this time, the second cover body 2 continues to move to drive the connector 31 to move, so that the connector 31 gradually approaches the power supply module 4 and makes electrical contact with the power supply module 4.
[0060] The connector 31 can be made of a material having a conductive function and can be electrically connected to a circuit inside the device.
[0061] like Figure 3 As shown, the conductive part 3 also includes:
[0062] The conductive elastic member 32 , through which the connecting member 31 can be in electrical contact with the power supply module 4 .
[0063] Specifically, there can be one conductive elastic member 32, and the conductive elastic member 32 can be connected to the side of the connecting member 31 close to the power supply module 4 by means of snap connection, bolt connection, etc.; or, the conductive elastic member 32 can be plugged or riveted to the side of the power supply module 4 close to the connecting member 31;
[0064] There may also be two conductive elastic members 32 , one conductive elastic member 32 may be connected to a side of the connecting member 31 close to the power supply module 4 , and the other conductive elastic member 32 may be connected to a side of the power supply module 4 close to the connecting member 31 .
[0065] The conductive elastic member 32 may be a metal spring or a metal spring. The conductive elastic member 32 may be electrically connected to a circuit inside the device.
[0066] The conductive elastic member 32 has good elastic properties and can form a stable electrical contact between the connector 31 and the power supply module 4; the conductive elastic member 32 can provide a larger contact area and can ensure uniform pressure distribution at the contact point through its own elasticity, thereby effectively reducing the contact resistance; and the conductive elastic member 32 can play a buffering role, reduce the mechanical stress caused by hard collisions, reduce the wear rate, and thus extend the service life of the components.
[0067] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Fig. 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the conductive part 3 further includes:
[0068] The guide member 33 is disposed on the first cover body 1 , and the guide member 33 is used to guide the movement path of the connecting member 31 .
[0069] Specifically, the guide member 33 may be a slide groove or a guide rail fixedly disposed on the first cover body 1. The guide member 33 can provide an accurate movement track and direction for the connector 31, ensuring that when the second cover body 2 moves, the connector 31 can move along the path, smoothly and accurately, thereby achieving reliable contact or separation with the power supply module 4, and avoiding poor electrical contact or false triggering caused by position deviation.
[0070] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Fig. 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the conductive part 3 further includes:
[0071] The stopper 34 is disposed on the first cover body 1 , and the connecting member 31 is used to be disposed between the stopper 34 and the power supply module 4 .
[0072] Specifically, a plug hole can be provided on the first cover 1, and when the second cover 2 is in the first state, the plug connector 21 is spaced from the plug hole; when the second cover 2 is switched from the first state to the second state, the plug connector 21 is inserted into the slot 311 of the connector 31 through the plug hole. The movement of the plug connector 21 in the plug hole indirectly limits the range of movement of the connector 31, and the plug hole forms a stopper 34; and / or,
[0073] A stopper 34 may be provided on a side of the connecting member 31 facing away from the power supply module 4 ; or, the stopper 34 may be provided on both sides of the moving direction of the connecting member 31 .
[0074] The stopper 34 is used to accurately limit the movement of the connector 31, ensuring that the connector 31 can move within a preset range as the second cover 2 moves, ensuring that the conductive elastic member 32 is always in contact with the power supply module 4 with an appropriate pressure, while preventing the conductive part 3 from being too far away from the power supply module 4, preventing possible accidental short circuits, and also preparing for quickly establishing good electrical contact when the accommodating space is closed again.
[0075] In some embodiments, it also includes:
[0076] The limiting assembly is connected to the first cover body 1 and the second cover body 2 and is used for maintaining the second state of the second cover body 2.
[0077] The limiting assembly includes a first limiting unit and a second limiting unit;
[0078] The first limiting unit is arranged on the first cover body 1 and / or the conductive part 3, and the second limiting unit is arranged on the second cover body 2;
[0079] The first limiting unit cooperates with the second limiting unit to limit the movement of the second cover body 2 so that the second cover body 2 maintains the second state.
[0080] Specifically, the first limiting unit may be a hook or a slot, in which case the second limiting unit may be a hole or a buckle that can cooperate with the first unit; or, the first limiting unit may be a magnet, in which case the second limiting unit may be a metal or a magnet that can achieve magnetic attraction with the first limiting unit, etc.
[0081] When the second cover 2 is in the second state, the first limiting unit and the second limiting unit interact with each other to form a stable limiting structure. This ensures that the second cover 2 can be reliably fixed in the second state and will not be accidentally opened due to external force or vibration, thereby maintaining a good electrical contact state between the power supply module 4 and the conductive part 3 inside the device and ensuring the normal operation of the device; when the second cover 2 is switched from the second state to the first state, the first limiting unit and the second limiting unit can be separated when the second cover 2 is working, so that the second cover 2 can be switched to the first state.
[0082] In some embodiments, the second cover body 2 moves along a second direction and a third direction relative to the first cover body 1 , and the first direction, the second direction and the third direction are perpendicular to each other.
[0083] Specifically, the second cover 2 can be plugged with the first cover 1 along the second direction, and the second cover 2 can be slidably connected with the first cover 1 along the third direction. By utilizing the spatial layout and the movement mechanism in two directions, the precise locking and unlocking functions between the second cover 2 and the first cover 1 are realized, which not only enhances the stability and safety of the device operation, but also optimizes the user experience.
[0084] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the first limiting unit includes an enclosure structure 5, and the enclosure structure 5 has an opening along the second direction;
[0085] The second limiting unit includes a limiting member 6, and the limiting member 6 can enter the enclosure structure 5 through the opening. The second cover body 2 slides along the third direction, so that the limiting member 6 is spaced from the opening to limit the movement of the limiting member 6 along the second direction.
[0086] Specifically, the enclosure structure 5 can be connected to the first cover body 1 by bonding, integral molding, etc. The limiter 6 is provided on the second cover body 2, and the limiter 6 can be accommodated in the accommodation space. When the second cover body 2 slides a certain distance along the third direction, the limiter 6 can be embedded in the enclosure structure 5, thereby effectively limiting the second cover body 2 in the second direction, preventing the second cover body 2 from being accidentally opened or moved, and ensuring the stability of the circuit connection inside the device.
[0087] like Figures 7 to 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the first limiting unit includes a first locking member 7, and the first locking member 7 is disposed on the conductive portion 3;
[0088] The second limiting unit includes a second locking member 8, which is arranged on the second cover body 2. The second cover body 2 slides along the third direction, so that the first locking member 7 and the second locking member 8 can cooperate with each other to limit the movement of the second cover body 2 along the third direction.
[0089] Specifically, the first surface of the conductive part 3 is opposite to the first end surface of the first cover body 1, the first locking member 7 is connected to the first surface of the conductive part 3, and both sides of the first locking member 7 along the third direction form an obtuse angle with the first surface;
[0090] The second locking piece 8 is connected to the first end face of the first cover body 1, and the two side edges of the second locking piece 8 along the third direction form an obtuse angle with the first end face. The conductive piece reciprocates along the third direction, so that the first locking piece 7 can be located on one side or the other side of the second locking piece 8 along the third direction.
[0091] The first locking member 7 is arranged on the conductive part 3, and the second locking member 8 is arranged on the second cover 2. When the second cover 2 slides to the closed position along the third direction, the first locking member 7 and the second locking member 8 can cooperate to achieve fixation, forming a stable locking state, effectively preventing the second cover 2 from being accidentally opened, and ensuring that the power supply module 4 inside the device maintains good electrical contact with the conductive part 3.
[0092] The above is only a specific implementation of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art who is familiar with the present technical field can easily think of changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in the present application, which should be included in the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
