Among them, these wires 92 pass through the hinge structure 91, and may include, for example, but not limited to, signal transmission lines of Wifi, 4GLTE and / or 5G antennas.
[0063] The existing electronic device 9 (notebook computer) is becoming thinner and lighter, and the space inside the host body 95 is quite limited. Moreover, the housing 93 (i.e., keyboard frame) of the host body 95 has a hook 94 for fixing the upper and lower housings. Therefore, the mold for making the housing 93 needs to be moved back to the front of the hook 94, and it is difficult to design a structure for arranging these wires 92 with the same mold. Therefore, the present invention is further designed to combine a wire management structure of the housing of the host body 95 to organize these wires 92, which can not only avoid overlapping or wrong wiring of wires, but also meet safety regulations.
[0064] Please refer to Figures 2A to 3C As shown, the electronic device 1 of this embodiment includes a housing 11, a plurality of wires and a wire management structure 13. The wire management structure 13 is disposed on the housing 11 and is used to fix the wires. The material of the housing 11 may include, for example but not limited to, plastic, magnesium alloy or aluminum metal, or a combination thereof.
[0065] like Figure 3AAs shown, the housing 11 is the upper housing (i.e., keyboard frame) of the host body 15 of the electronic device 1, so the lower side of the housing 11 may have a plurality of openings, so that a portion of a plurality of keys disposed in the host body 15 may be exposed through these openings for the user to press. Of course, in addition to the keys, the host body 15 may also contain a control circuit board 17, a memory, an I / O unit, a control circuit, a control element or an accessory. These keys, control circuit boards, a memory, an I / O unit, a control circuit, a control element or an accessory are not the focus of this case and will not be described in detail here.
[0066] The wires of this embodiment are four and are marked as 12a~12d. Among them, the wires 12a and 12b can be used for example but not limited to the wireless wide area network (Wireless Wide Area Network, WWAN), such as the signal transmission lines used for 4G LTE and / or 5G mobile networks, and the wires 12c and 12d can be used for example as signal transmission lines for Wifi communication. In different embodiments, the number of wires can be only two or more than four (for example, six), depending on the design of the electronic device 1. In addition, the electronic device 1 of this embodiment may also include a hinge structure 14 connected to the shell 11, and the hinge structure 14 is used for the pivoting and rotating of the host body 15 and the display screen 16, and the wire management structure 13 is arranged on the shell 11 and adjacent to the hinge structure 14, and the wires 12a~12d pass through the hinge structure 14 and are arranged and fixed in position by the wire management structure 13.
[0067] The wire management structure 13 is used to fix the wires 12a-12d, and includes a body 131 and a plurality of guides 132a, 132b, 132c. The material of the wire management structure 13 may include plastic, metal or rubber, which is not limited in the present invention. Preferably, the material of the wire management structure 13 is plastic, and is made by injection molding as an example.
[0068] The body 131 is disposed on the housing 11 and includes a first side wall W1, a second side wall W2 and a third side wall W3, wherein the second side wall W2 connects the first side wall W1 and the third side wall W3. Here, the second side wall W2 is perpendicular to the first side wall W1 and the third side wall W3, respectively, and the first side wall W1 and the third side wall W3 are opposite to each other. In addition, the body 131 of the present embodiment further includes a fourth side wall W4, which is connected to the first side wall W1 and the third side wall W3, respectively, wherein the fourth side wall W4 is opposite to the second side wall W2, and the fourth side wall W4 has a groove U( Figure 2B In some embodiments, the connection between the body 131 of the cable management structure 13 and the housing 11 may include gluing, locking, embedding, snapping, or any combination thereof. This embodiment takes the bottom surface 1311 of the body 131 as an example of being fixed to the housing 11 by gluing.
[0069] The guide members 132a, 132b, 132c are correspondingly arranged on the first side wall W1, the second side wall W2 and the third side wall W3 of the body 131, and a plurality of wire management grooves Ga, Gb, Gc are provided between the guide members 132a, 132b, 132c and the first side wall W1, the second side wall W2 and the third side wall W3. Here, the guide members 132a, 132b, 132c are respectively connected to the body 131 to form corresponding wire management grooves Ga, Gb, Gc, so that the wires 12a to 12d can be passed through and fixed in the wire management grooves Ga, Gb, Gc. The body 131 and the guide members 132a, 132b, 132c of this embodiment are an integrally formed structure, but this is not limited to this. In different embodiments, the body 131 and the guide members 132a, 132b, 132c can also be independent components and combined, which is not limited by the present invention.
[0070] Each guide member 132a, 132b, 132c has a first end E1 and a second end E2. The first ends E1 of the guide members 132a, 132b, 132c are connected to the body 131, respectively, and the second ends E2 of the guide members 132a, 132b, 132c have an opening O between the adjacent guide members. Here, the first end E1 and the second end E2 are opposite ends of the guide members 132a, 132b, 132c. Therefore, the wires 12a-12d can be placed in the wire management grooves Ga, Gb, Gc through these openings O, thereby effectively fixing the positions of the wires 12a-12d through the wire management grooves Ga, Gb, Gc.
[0071] In detail, the guide members 132a, 132b, 132c of the present embodiment may include a first guide member and at least one second guide member. Here, the present embodiment takes a first guide member 132a and two second guide members 132b, 132c as an example. Among them, the second guide members 132b, 132c have the same shape, but the first guide member 132a and the second guide members 132b, 132c have different shapes. In different embodiments, the shapes of the second guide members 132b, 132c may also be different. In addition, the first ends E1 of the second guide members 132b, 132c are respectively connected to the body 131, and the second ends E2 of the second guide members 132b, 132c are respectively a hook structure H, and in the normal direction of the body 131 (housing 11), the hook structure H and the body 131 have a minimum spacing d, and this minimum spacing d is less than 1 mm (d<1mm), thereby enabling the electronic device 1 to comply with the safety regulations.
[0072] In addition, the aforementioned cable management grooves Ga, Gb, Gc may include a first cable management groove and at least one second cable management groove. Here, the present embodiment takes a first cable management groove Ga and two second cable management grooves Gb, Gc as an example. Among them, the first cable management groove Ga is located between the first guide 132a and the first side wall W1, the second cable management groove Gb is located between the second guide 132b and the second side wall W2, and the second cable management groove Gc is located between the second guide 132c and the third side wall W3. In other words, there is a first cable management groove Ga between the first guide 132a and the body 131, and there are corresponding second cable management grooves Gb, Gc between the second guides 132b, 132c and the body 131, and the accommodation space of the first cable management groove Ga is larger than the accommodation space of the second cable management grooves Gb, Gc. The accommodation space here is the space surrounded by the guide members 132a, 132b, 132c and the body 131, which is equivalent to the cross-sectional area of the wire management grooves Ga, Gb, Gc, and is used to allow the wires 12a-12d to pass through and be fixed. Figure 3C As shown, the wires 12a~12d passing through the rotating shaft structure 14 can enter the wire management structure 13 through the first wire management groove Ga with a larger accommodating space, wherein two wires 12a and 12b can exit through the second wire management groove Gb with a smaller accommodating space, and the other two wires 12c and 12d can exit through the second wire management groove Gc with another smaller accommodating space.
[0073] From the above, it can be seen that the electronic device 1 of this embodiment is designed with a multi-directional wire management structure 13 that complies with safety regulations in the narrow space inside the host body 15 to regulate the positions of the internal wires 12a~12d. The wire management structure 13 can be used to properly organize the wires 12a~12d used for, for example, Wifi, 4G LTE and / or 5G, to avoid these wires 12a~12d from overlapping or mis-managing each other. In addition, the wire management structure 13 of this embodiment is a multi-directional structure, which is attached to the shell 11 of the host body 15 of the electronic device 1 by gluing, which can save the shell mold design or post-processing processing operations. It is understandable that in different embodiments, the size of the wire management structure 13 can also be designed according to the number and size of the wires 12a~12d.
[0074] In summary, in the wire management structure and electronic device of the present invention, the main body of the wire management structure is arranged on the shell of the electronic device and includes a first side wall, a second side wall and a third side wall, and the second side wall connects the first side wall and the third side wall; the guide members are correspondingly arranged on the first side wall, the second side wall and the third side wall of the main body, and a plurality of wire management grooves are provided between the first side wall, the second side wall and the third side wall of the guide members, and a plurality of wires are respectively passed through the structural design of the wire management grooves, so that the wire management structure and electronic device of the present invention can not only avoid the internal wires from being interlaced and overlapped or the wires are incorrectly managed, but also meet the specifications of safety regulations.
