[0038] According to one aspect of the present application, an embodiment of the present application provides a flip structure. Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , the flip structure 100 is disposed at the opening of the housing 200. The flip structure 100 includes a cover body 1, a baffle 2, a buckle 3 and a return spring 4. The first end 110 of the cover body 1 is rotatably connected to the housing 200 at the opening. A travel through slot 130 is formed in the second end 120 of the cover body 1; the baffle 2 is disposed corresponding to the second end 120 at the edge of the opening. When the cover body 1 covers the opening, the travel through slot 130 is between the baffle 2 and the first end 110; the buckle 3 includes a first limiting portion 310, a main body portion 320 and a second limiting portion 330 connected together in sequence. The main body portion 320 is slidably disposed in the travel through slot 130. The main body portion 320 slides in a direction close to or away from the first end 110. The first limiting portion 310 and the second limiting portion 330 are respectively located at the outer side and the inner side of the cover body 1. The sizes of the first limiting portion 310 and the second limiting portion 330 are both larger than the size of the travel through slot 130. A stopper 340 corresponding to the baffle 2 is disposed on the side surface of the main body portion 320; the return spring 4 is sandwiched and pressed between the side surface of the main body portion 320 and the wall surface of the travel through slot 130. The return spring 4 is on the side of the main body portion 320 close to the first end 110, so that the buckle 3 always has a tendency to move away from the first end 110. When the cover body 1 covers the opening, the stopper 340 is below the baffle 2.

[0039] Preferably, the opening of the housing 200 in this embodiment is disposed at the top of the housing 200, and the flip structure 100 covers the top of the housing 200. In other embodiments, according to the actual design of the housing 200, the opening of the housing 200 can also be disposed on the side of the housing 200, and the flip structure 100 correspondingly covers the side of the housing 200; or, the opening of the housing 200 can also be disposed at the bottom of the housing 200, and the flip structure 100 correspondingly covers the bottom of the housing 200, which is not uniquely limited herein.

[0040] In the embodiment of the present application, the flip structure 100 includes a cover body 1, a baffle 2, a buckle 3, and a return spring 4. The baffle 2 is disposed at the edge of the opening of the housing 200. A travel through slot 130 is provided on the cover body 1. The buckle 3 is slidably disposed in the travel through slot 130. When the cover body 1 is closed on the opening, the return spring 4 drags the stopper 340 of the buckle 3 to move below the baffle 2, realizing the locking between the cover body 1 and the housing 200. Pushing the buckle 3 compresses the return spring 4 and can also disengage the stopper 340 from the baffle 2. The cover body 1 can be opened or closed conveniently and quickly without using other auxiliary tools, with high opening efficiency and reduced time cost for the maintenance of internal components.

[0041] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 , the travel through slot 130 includes a first groove 131 adapted to the first limiting portion 310 and a second groove 132 adapted to the main body portion 320. The first limiting portion 310 is slidably disposed in the first groove 131, and the main body portion 320 is slidably disposed in the second groove 132.

[0042] In this way, the first limiting portion 310 is slidably disposed in the first groove 131, and the buckle 3 is designed in a hidden manner, and the bayonet will not protrude from the surface of the cover body 1, improving the integration and aesthetics between components.

[0043] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 , anti-slip patterns 311 are provided on the first limiting portion 310, increasing the friction between the fingers of the staff and the first limiting portion 310 and reducing the pushing difficulty of the buckle 3.

[0044] Furthermore, the top surface of the first limiting portion 310 gradually slopes upward from the second end portion 120 to the first end portion 110, so that when the staff pushes the buckle 3 in the horizontal direction, the first limiting portion 310 can better bear the force applied by the staff.

[0045] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 , the return spring 4 is squeezed and clamped between the side surface of the first limiting portion 310 and the wall surface of the first groove 131. The installation depth of the return spring 4 is relatively shallow, reducing the installation difficulty of the return spring 4.

[0046] In other embodiments, according to actual design requirements, the return spring 4 can also be squeezed and clamped between the main body portion 320 and the wall surface of the second groove 132, which is not uniquely limited herein.

[0047] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3Mounting holes 312 are provided on the side surface of the first limiting portion 310 and the wall surface of the first groove 131 , and the two ends of the return spring 4 are respectively inserted into the mounting holes 312 to improve the installation stability of the return spring 4 and prevent the return spring 4 from escaping from the first groove 131 .

[0048] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 Two return springs 4 are provided, and the two return springs 4 are respectively arranged at the two ends of the side of the first limiting portion 310, so as to increase the pushing ability of the buckle 3 and ensure that the buckle 3 can be automatically locked smoothly.

[0049] In one embodiment, see Figure 3 A circular hole is provided at the end of the main body 320 away from the first limiting portion 310, and the second limiting portion 330 is a cylinder that is detachably inserted into the circular hole.

[0050] In this way, before the buckle 3 is installed in the travel slot 130, the second limit portion 330 is separated from the main body 320. When the main body 320 is inserted into the travel slot 130 from top to bottom, the main body 320 is inserted in the circular hole, and the upper and lower limit positions are used to realize the assembly of the buckle 3 in the travel slot 130. If the buckle 3 needs to be removed from the travel slot 130, the reverse operation can be performed.

[0051] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 The first end 110 and the shell 200 are rotatably connected together through a rotating shaft, and a torsion spring 5 is arranged on the rotating shaft. The torsion spring 5 is used to make the second end 120 always have a tendency to move away from the shell 200. When the buckle 3 is separated from the baffle 2, the cover body 1 can be automatically opened under the action of the torsion spring 5, which further improves the efficiency of opening the cover.

[0052] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 The side of the stopper 340 close to the baffle plate 2 is a first guide slope 341, and the end of the first guide slope 341 away from the first limiting portion 310 is inclined inwardly relative to the shell body. The part of the baffle plate 2 corresponding to the stopper 340 is provided with a second guide slope 210, and the end of the second guide slope 210 close to the cover body 1 is inclined outwardly relative to the shell body.

[0053] In this way, the staff presses the cover body 1 downwards, and during the closing process of the cover body 1, the first guide slope 341 will contact the second guide slope 210, so that the buckle 3 can be automatically separated from the baffle 2 without pushing the buckle 3, further improving the efficiency of opening the cover.

[0054] According to another aspect of this application, please also refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2, an embodiment of the present application further provides a device housing 1000, which includes a housing 200 and the flip structure 100 as described above.

[0055] In the embodiment of the present application, the device housing 1000 includes a housing 200 and the flip structure 100 as described above. The cover body 1 of the flip structure 100 can be conveniently and quickly opened or closed without using other auxiliary tools, with high opening efficiency and reduced time cost for maintaining the internal components of the device housing 1000.

[0056] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity of description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered as the scope described in this specification.

[0057] The above-described embodiments only represent several implementation manners of the present application. The description is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of the patent application. For those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, several modifications and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present application shall be subject to the appended claims.
