[0037] The wire controller housing and the electronic device according to the embodiment of the utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] Reference Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the wire controller housing provided in the embodiment of the utility model includes a bottom wall 10, a supporting portion 20 and a limiting portion 30. The bottom wall 10 has an installation area 101 for installing a circuit board; the supporting portion 20 is arranged in the installation area 101, and one end of the supporting portion 10 is fixed to the bottom wall 10, and a gap is formed between the other end and the bottom wall 10 to form an elastic support for the bottom of the circuit board; the limiting portion 30 is arranged around the edge of the installation area 101 to form a limit on the side and top surface of the circuit board.

[0039] Among them, the support part 20 can be inclined upward from the bottom wall 10, so that at least one end of the support part 20 can form a gap with the bottom wall 10. When an impact occurs as a whole, the support part 20 can better provide buffering for the circuit board, so that its stability and safety are better; it can be understood that the above-mentioned circuit board can be a wire controller motherboard, and the above-mentioned shell can be applied to wire controllers, and can also be applied to other products, such as remote controls and other products; as an optional embodiment, the cover plate of the above-mentioned shell can also be provided with a corresponding support part 20 to form support for both sides of the circuit board to ensure better overall stability.

[0040] The wire controller housing provided by the utility model fixes the circuit board in the installation area 101 so that the circuit board can form an elastic support at the bottom through the support part 20, and the limiting part 30 can form a limit on the side plate and the top surface of the circuit board, so that the circuit board is simpler to install and does not need to be fixed by screws or the like, thereby reducing the overall cost, shortening the assembly time and improving the stability.

[0041] Reference Figure 4 As shown, the support portion 20 includes an oblique arm 201 and a horizontal arm 202, the first end of the oblique arm 201 is connected to the bottom wall 10; the horizontal arm 202 is connected to the second end of the oblique arm 201 and is parallel to the bottom wall 10; further, the first end of the oblique arm 201 has a first side stop 204, the first side stop 204 is located at the edge of the installation area 101 and is abutted against the edge of the circuit board together with the limiting portion 30.

[0042] In this embodiment, after the circuit board and the cross arm 202 come into contact, the pressure generated on the circuit board can act on the cross arm 202 and the oblique arm 201, thereby forming an elastic buffer, ensuring that the circuit board has better stability when a collision occurs; it can be understood that the first side stop 204 can abut against the edge of the circuit board, so that the circuit board can be pressed tightly in the installation area 101 by the first side stop 204 and the limiting portion 30, ensuring better overall stability; wherein, the length of the oblique arm 201 can be set according to actual needs, so that different lengths of oblique arms 201 can form different elastic forces, and the first end of the oblique arm 201 can form a bending structure, thereby weakening the breaking force between the oblique arm 201 and the bottom wall 10.

[0043] It is worth mentioning that in the present solution, the cross arm 202 is connected to the second end of the oblique arm 201, so that the entire support portion can form a better elastic pressure resistance effect. Specifically, even if a smaller downward pressure is applied to the cross arm 202, the oblique arm 201 can also sensitively achieve elastic downward pressure. In this way, under the buffering of the elastic force, the external impact force / pressure is not easy to cause damage to the circuit board and the components on the circuit board.

[0044] Optionally, a reinforcing rib 205 is formed between the oblique arm 201 and the first side stop 204 , and the reinforcing rib 205 is vertically connected to the oblique arm 201 , or the reinforcing rib 205 is vertically connected to the first side stop 204 .

[0045] For example, the reinforcing rib 205 can be formed into an L shape with the first side stop 204, so that the reinforcing rib 205 can enhance the strength between the first side stop 204 and the oblique arm 201, and avoid the oblique arm 201 and the bottom wall 10 from being torn by impact; optionally, when the reinforcing rib 205 is set longer, the fixing effect on the oblique arm 201 is better and the stability is stronger, and the length of the first side stop 204 in the horizontal direction can be combined with the length of the reinforcing rib 205 to strengthen the fixing strength of the oblique arm 201, and the reinforcing rib 205 is connected to the first side stop 204, so that the reinforcing rib 205 and the first side stop 204 can further cooperate with the reinforcing support part 20 to ensure that the oblique arm 201 is more stable when under pressure, so as to form a better elastic pressure resistance. In addition, it can be understood that the highest point of the first side stop 204 is higher than the height of the cross arm 202, so that it can cooperate with the limit circuit board. Therefore, in this embodiment, the first side stopper 204 has the dual functions of reinforcing the fixed support portion 20 and limiting the circuit board.

[0046] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown in examples a, b, c, and d, a contact surface 203 is formed on the cross arm 202, and the contact surface 203 is used to abut against the circuit board to form a planar support for the circuit board. Among them, the use of the contact surface and the circuit board for support can ensure that the circuit board is more stably stressed on the support part.

[0047] As an optional embodiment, a sliding part for facilitating sliding can be provided on the contact surface 203. It is worth noting that, when the oblique arm 201 is subjected to downward pressure, it moves in an arc shape with its first end as the fulcrum and the second end as the movable end, and a certain amount of horizontal displacement will be generated at this moment, and the cross arm 202 will follow the oblique arm 201 to form a certain amount of horizontal displacement, and the circuit board limited by the limiting part 30 generally does not shake in the horizontal direction, that is, there is no space for horizontal displacement, so when the circuit board contacts the cross arm 202 and the cross arm 202 and the oblique arm 201 are pressed down by gravity / external pressure and other forces, the horizontal displacement of the cross arm 202 will cause friction between the circuit board and the circuit board, and if the friction is too large, it will have a reverse effect to restrict the sensitivity of the cross arm 202 to press down, therefore, in this embodiment, the convex array forming the surface support effect or the contact surface 203 with a concave structure is used on the contact surface 203 to weaken the friction on the basis of the surface support, and form a certain sliding effect, so as to form a sensitive downward elastic effect. For example, multiple protrusions can be provided, and multiple grooves can also be provided. When multiple protrusions are provided, multiple convex points or multiple convex strips can be used to form support. The protrusions can be arranged in a dot matrix pattern (the dot matrix pattern can form a support with a surface effect), and the convex strips can be in a rectangular or circular shape. When multiple grooves are used to form support, the multiple grooves can be arranged obliquely, so that the contact surface 203 and the circuit board can reduce a certain contact area on the basis of a stable force with surface characteristics, thereby reducing the friction between the contact surface 203 and the circuit board.

[0048] Specifically, the mounting area 101 has a support protrusion 40, and the height of the support protrusion 40 is less than the height of the support portion 20. When the circuit board is subjected to collision or pressure, an elastic buffer is formed between the circuit board and the support portion 20, so that when the circuit board is pressed toward the bottom wall 10, the circuit board can be supported by the support protrusion 40, so that a gap can be formed between the components on the circuit board and the bottom wall 10 to avoid damage to the components on the circuit board. It can be understood that the support protrusion 40 can avoid the components on the circuit board to ensure that the support protrusion 40 can avoid the components on the circuit board, which is safer.

[0049] Specifically, the limiting portion 30 includes a second side stop portion 301 and a fastening portion 302. The second side stop portion 301 extends upward from the bottom wall 10 and is located at the edge of the installation area 101; the fastening portion 302 is located at the top of the second side stop portion 301 and extends horizontally toward the installation area 101.

[0050] In this embodiment, the second side stop 301 can cooperate with the first side stop 204 to form a position limit at the edge of the circuit board, so that the circuit board is not easy to slide in the horizontal direction and has better stability; the fastening portion 302 is fastened to the top surface of the circuit board, so that the circuit board is not easy to move in the vertical direction, and the fastening portion 302 cooperates with the elastic force of the support portion 20 to ensure that a certain clamping force is formed after the circuit board is installed, ensuring that the whole is more stable and reliable.

[0051] Reference Figure 3 As shown, it also includes a peripheral wall 50 enclosed along the edge of the bottom wall 10, and the peripheral wall 50 and the bottom wall 10 together define a receiving groove for accommodating the circuit board; further, the peripheral wall 50 has a third side stop portion 501 extending toward the installation area 101, and the third side stop portion 501 is used to abut against the edge of the circuit board together with the second side stop portion 301.

[0052] In this embodiment, the third side stop 501 can cooperate with the first side stop 204 and the second side stop 301 to limit the horizontal direction of the circuit board, so that the circuit board has better stability; the surrounding wall 50 can cooperate with the cover plate for fixing, so that the circuit board is enclosed in the receiving groove, ensuring better overall sealing and more convenient and simple installation.

[0053] The electronic device provided in the embodiment of the utility model includes the above-mentioned wire controller housing. The electronic device can use the above-mentioned wire controller housing to assemble the circuit board, and the circuit board can be fixed in the installation area 101 during the assembly process, so that the circuit board can be elastically supported at the bottom by the support part 20, and the limiting part 30 can form a limit on the side plate and the top surface of the circuit board, so that the circuit board is easier to install, and there is no need to use screws or other methods to fix it, which reduces the overall cost, and the assembly time is shorter and the stability is better.
