[0036] like Figure 1As shown, the present application provides an electronic device 100. The electronic device 100 can be a computer host, a printer, a display, etc., that is, as long as the protective shell 2 of the electronic device 100 needs to be conductively connected, it can be used without limitation. The electronic device 100 includes an electronic component 1, a protective shell 2, a shell member 20, and a connection point 3. The electronic component 1 is installed inside the protective shell 2. The protective shell 2 is assembled from a plurality of shell members 20. The connection point 3 is arranged on the surface of the shell member 20. The shell members 20 to be connected are conductively connected through the connection point 3. At least one of the shell members 20 is connected to the ground terminal by an external lead, so that the protective shell 2 is connected to the ground terminal as a whole. In this embodiment, before the shell member 3 is assembled, the surface of the shell member 3 is insulated.
[0037] The protective shell 2 includes an external frame 21 composed of shell parts 20, and a fixed layer 31. Specifically, the external frame 21 is composed of a plurality of shell parts 20 connected end to end to form an internal space 24. Specifically, partial areas of at least two shell parts 20 overlap and are fixed together to form a wall surrounding the electronic component 1. The fixed layer 22 is arranged in the internal space 23 and is connected to the external frame 21. Specifically, the fixed layer 22 is in contact with at least one shell part 20 of the external frame 21, that is, a partial area of the fixed layer 31 overlaps and is fixed together with a partial area of the external frame 21. The electronic component 1 is installed on the fixed layer 31. The material of the protective shell 2 includes but is not limited to iron and copper, that is, the protective shell 2 can be made of any conductive material.
[0038] In this embodiment, the external frame 21 is composed of a first external frame 22 and a second external frame 23 connected together. The first external frame 22 includes a bottom 220 and a side wall 221 extending along the bottom. The bottom 220 and the side wall 221 surround a first opening 222, and the second external frame 23 covers the first opening 222. The first external frame 22 and the second external frame 23 together surround an external frame 21 with a second opening 24. The fixed layer 31 includes a first fixed layer 32 and a second fixed layer 33. The first fixed layer 32 is an "L"-shaped outer shell member 20 connected in two long strips, and the two outer shell members 20 of the first fixed layer 32 are connected at the bottom respectively. The second fixed layer 33 is an elongated outer shell member 20 fixed to the side wall 221. Among them, the structure, shape, arrangement position, etc. of the external frame 21 and the fixed layer 31 can be set according to the specific situation and are not limited here.
[0039] The shell components 20 to be connected are provided with several connection points 3 at the connection part. The connection points 3 between the mutually connected shell components 20 correspond to each other. Specifically, several connection points 3 are provided at the overlapping partial areas of the mutually connected shell components 20. When the mutually connected shell components 20 are connected, their corresponding connection points 3 overlap and contact. Specifically, the connection points 3 are made by erasing the insulating material on the surface of the partial area of the shell component 20 to be connected, so that the conductive part of the shell component 20 itself is exposed. The shell components 20 to be connected are conductively connected through the contact of the connection points 3. Among them, the connection points 3 include but are not limited to threaded and ring-shaped. That is, the connection points can be in any form that is not smooth. By directly erasing the insulating material at the connection points, the problem of conductive connection of the electronic device housing is solved, and there is no need to set up additional tape, saving cost and time.
[0040] In this embodiment, several connection points 3 are respectively set at the parts where the first external frame 22 and the second external frame 23 are connected. The insulating material at several connection points 3 on the edge of the side wall 221 is scraped off by the toothed anti-bake screws 4, so that the iron parts 20 of the first external frame 22 are exposed to the outside. When the second external frame 23 is connected to the first external frame 22, the area overlapping with the connection point 3 of the first external frame 22 is set as the corresponding connection point 3. The insulating material at the connection point 3 of the second external frame 23 is scraped off by the toothed anti-bake screws 4, so that the iron parts 20 of the second external frame 23 are exposed to the outside. When the second external frame 23 covers the edge of the side wall 221 of the first external frame 22, the corresponding connection points 3 also overlap and contact, so that the first external frame 22 and the second external frame 23 can be electrically connected.
[0041] The two sides of the first fixed layer 32 overlap with the first external frame 22 and the second external frame 23 respectively. A plurality of connection points 3 are respectively arranged on the two sides of the first fixed layer 32, and the first external frame 22 and the second external frame 23 are respectively arranged with connection points 3 corresponding to the connection points 3 of the first fixed layer 32. The first fixed layer 32 is electrically connected to the first external frame 22 and the second external frame 23. A plurality of connection points 3 are arranged at the portion where the second fixed layer 33 is connected to the first external frame 22, and the same connection points 3 are arranged at the positions corresponding to the connection points of the first external frame 22 and the second fixed layer 33. The second fixed layer 33 is electrically connected to the first external frame 22.
[0042] The external frames 21 in the protective shell 2, the external frames 21 and the fixed layers 31, and the fixed layers 31 themselves can all be conductively connected through their corresponding connection points 3. In other words, the protective shell 2 itself can be conductively connected as a whole. At the same time, the protective shell 2 is grounded as a whole through the grounding terminal of one of the outer shell components 20. The insulating material of the protective shell 2 is removed except for the position of the connection point 3, while the other parts of the protective shell 2 are still made of insulating material, that is, the outer shell components 20 to be connected are only conductively connected at the connection point 3, and still cannot be conductively connected at the insulating part. While ensuring that the outer shell components 20 can be conductively connected, the safety of the contactable part of the electronic device 100 is also guaranteed.
[0043] The protective shell 2 of the electronic device 100 is used to fix the electronic components 1 of the electronic device 100. The protective shell 2 of the electronic device 100 includes a plurality of shell members 20, and the shell members 20 are provided with conductive connection points 4, and the connection points 4 are threaded; the shell members 20 to be connected are tightly fitted at the connection points 4, and the shell members 20 are electrically connected through the connection points 4. Please refer to the above description for details, which will not be repeated here.
[0044] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications to the present application without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application. Thus, if these modifications and variations of the present application fall within the scope of the claims of the present application and their equivalents, the present application is also intended to include these modifications and variations.
[0045] The above examples are only preferred embodiments of the present application, and certainly cannot be used to limit the scope of rights of the present application. Therefore, equivalent changes made according to the claims of the present application still fall within the scope covered by the present application.
