[0039] Figure 1Schematic diagram of the structure of the housing of the electronic device according to the embodiment of the present application; Figure 2 is Figure 1 the enlarged view of part A in Figure 3 Schematic diagram of the structure of the electronic device according to the embodiment of the present application; Figure 4 Schematic diagram of the structure of the electronic device according to the embodiment of the present application when the steel sheet is not installed. As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the main board 100 of the electronic device is fixedly installed inside the housing of the electronic device, the connector 500 is installed on the main board 100, and the steel sheet 200 is installed on the connector 500. As Figures 1 to 4 shown, the housing of the electronic device includes a housing body 310, a first buckle 320 and a second buckle 330. A threaded hole 311 is provided on the housing body 310. The threaded hole 311 is used for threaded connection with a screw 400 to fix one end of the first side 110 of the main board 100 and one end of the steel sheet 200. The first buckle 320 is arranged inside the housing body 310. The first buckle 320 includes a connecting portion 321, a first buckling portion 322 and a second buckling portion 323. One end of the connecting portion 321 is fixedly connected to the housing body 310. The first buckling portion 322 and the second buckling portion 323 are respectively arranged at the other end of the connecting portion 321. The first buckling portion 322 is used for fixing the other end of the first side 110 of the main board 100, and the second buckling portion 323 is used for fixing the other end of the steel sheet 200. The second buckle 330 is arranged inside the housing body 310 and is arranged along the outer contour of the main board 100. The second buckle 330 is used for fixing the other sides of the main board 100.

[0040] Specifically, the outer shell body 310 is provided with a first buckle 320 and a second buckle 330. When the main board 100 is placed inside the outer shell body 310, the first buckle 320 is located on the first side 110 of the main board 100, and the second buckle 330 is arranged along the outer contour of the main board 100. The second buckle 330 on the first side 110 of the main board 100 can be set or not according to needs. The first buckle 320 includes a first buckle part 322 and a second buckle part 323. The first buckle part 322 fixes one end of the first side 110 of the main board 100, and the other end of the first side 110 of the main board 100 is fixed by cooperating with the threaded hole 311 on the outer shell body 310 through a screw 400. The other sides of the main board 100 are fixed by clamping with the second buckle 330, so as to fix the main board 100 inside the outer shell body 310. The number of the second buckles 330 can be set according to the size of the main board 100, as long as the main board 100 can be fixed. The specific number of the second buckles 330 is not limited in this embodiment, and the number of the second buckles 330 can be one, two or more. The second buckle part 323 of the first buckle 320 fixes one end of the steel sheet 200, and the cooperation of the screw 400 and the threaded hole 311 fixes the other end of the steel sheet 200, so as to fix the steel sheet 200 on the main board 100. The first buckle 320 and the threaded hole 311 are arranged at intervals, and the distance between the first buckle 320 and the threaded hole 311 can be set according to the length of the steel sheet 200, so that the first buckle 320 and the screw 400 can fix both ends of the steel sheet 200 along the length direction. In this embodiment, the outer shell body 310, the first buckle 320 and the second buckle 330 can be integrally formed, which not only reduces the production process, shortens the manufacturing time, but also improves the stability.

[0041] When assembling the main board 100 and the steel sheet 200, first install the main board 100 in the main board installation area of the outer shell body 310, and fix the main board 100 through the first buckle part 322 and the second buckle 330. Then install the steel sheet 200 above the connector 500 arranged on the main board 100, and fix one end of the steel sheet 200 through the second buckle part 323. Finally, pass the screw 400 through the other end of the steel sheet 200 and the main board 100 at the same time, and thread the screw 400 with the threaded hole 311 on the outer shell body 310, so as to realize the fixation of the main board 100 and the steel sheet 200, and make the steel sheet 200 press the connector 500 on the main board 100. Only one screw 400 is used for the fixation of the steel sheet 200, the main board 100 and the outer shell body 310, which not only makes the steel sheet 200 and the main board 100 detachable, but also reduces the number of screws 400 and lowers the cost.

[0042] In this embodiment, the first buckle 320 is designed with a double buckle. The first buckle 320 includes a first buckle portion 322 and a second buckle portion 323. The first buckle portion 322 can fix one end of the first side 110 of the main board 100, and the second buckle portion 323 can fix one end of the steel sheet 200. The other end of the first side 110 of the main board 100 and the other end of the steel sheet 200 are both fixed by screws 400 cooperating with the threaded holes 311 on the housing body 310. The steel sheet 200 and the main board 100 share one buckle and one screw 400, which can reduce the material cost. In addition, the installation of the entire main board 100 and the steel sheet 200 only includes one screw 400. Compared with the prior art where at least four screws are used for fixation (the steel sheet 200 is fixed to the main board 100 by two screws, and in order to make the main board 100 detachable, at least the first side 110 of the main board 100 is fixed to the housing body 310 by two screws), it can not only reduce the number of screws 400 and lower the cost, but also be convenient for disassembly and assembly.

[0043] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5 shown, the first buckle portion 322 and the second buckle portion 323 are arranged adjacent to each other. A notch 120 can be provided on the first side 110 of the main board 100. The first buckle 320 is located within the notch 120 of the main board 100. The notch 120 includes a first side 121, a second side 122, and a third side 123. The first side 121 and the third side 123 are oppositely arranged, and the second side 122 is located between the first side 121 and the third side 123 and is oppositely arranged with the opening of the notch 120; the first buckle portion 322 is snap-connected to the second side 122 of the notch 120, the second buckle portion 323 is located on the first side 121 of the notch 120, and the threaded hole 311 is located on the third side 123 of the notch 120 and has a certain distance from the third side 123. A snap interface can be provided at one end of the steel sheet 200, and the second buckle portion 323 is snap-connected to the snap interface on the steel sheet 200 to fix one end of the steel sheet 200.

[0044] Furthermore, as Figure 2 and Figure 5 shown, the distance from the bottom surface of the first buckle portion 322 to the inner side of the housing body 310 is less than the distance from the bottom surface of the second buckle portion 323 to the inner side of the housing body 310. Since the steel sheet 200 is arranged above the main board 100, in order to enable the first buckle portion 322 to be snap-connected to the main board 100 and the second snap-connection portion 323 to be snap-connected to the steel sheet 200, the height of the second buckle portion 323 is higher than the height of the first buckle portion 322, so that the first buckle 320 can be snap-connected and fixed to both the main board 100 and the steel sheet 200 simultaneously.

[0045] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown in the figure, the housing of the electronic device further includes a third buckle 340, which is arranged on the inner side of the housing body 310 and is used for clamping with the middle area of the main board 100. Through holes can be arranged on the main board 100, and the third buckle 340 passes through the through holes and is clamped with the main board 100 to fix the middle area of the main board 100, improve the stability of the main board 100, reduce the deformation of the main board 100 due to heat expansion, and ensure the stable operation of various electronic components on the main board 100.

[0046] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 shown in the figure, the housing of the electronic device further includes a mounting part 350, which protrudes from the inner side of the housing body 310, and a threaded hole 311 is arranged on the mounting part 350. To make the screw 400 firmly connected to the threaded hole 311, the threaded hole 311 should have a certain depth. If the threaded hole 311 is directly arranged on the housing body 310, the housing body 310 needs to have a relatively large thickness to ensure the firm connection between the screw 400 and the threaded hole 311. This way will increase the material consumption of the housing body 310 and thus increase the cost. By protruding the mounting part 350 on the housing body 310 and arranging the threaded hole 311 on the mounting part 350, not only can the depth of the threaded hole 311 be increased to ensure the firm connection between the screw 400 and the threaded hole 311, but also the overall thickness of the housing body 310 does not need to be increased, reducing the cost. The mounting part 350 and the housing body 310 of this embodiment can be integrally formed to reduce the production process, shorten the manufacturing time, and improve the structural stability.

[0047] Furthermore, as Figure 3 shown in the figure, it further includes a first positioning post 360 and a second positioning post 370. The first positioning post 360 is arranged on the mounting part 350, and the second positioning post 370 is arranged on the inner side of the housing body 310. The first positioning post 360 and the second positioning post 370 are respectively used for positioning the main board 100. By arranging the first positioning post 360 and the second positioning post 370 on the housing body 310 and arranging positioning holes on the main board 100, through the cooperation of the positioning posts and the positioning holes, multiple positions of the main board 100 can be positioned, improving the installation accuracy of the main board 100.

[0048] This application also provides an embodiment of an electronic device. As Figures 1 to 5 shown in the figure, it includes a main board 100, a steel sheet 200, screws 400, a connector 500, and the housing of the electronic device described in any of the above embodiments; the connector 500 is arranged on the main board 100, the steel sheet 200 is arranged on the connector 500, the main board 100 is fixedly connected to the main board 100 through the first buckle part 322, the second buckle 330, and the screws 400, and the steel sheet 200 is fixedly connected to the main board 100 through the second buckle part 323 and the screws 400.

[0050] Further, a notch 120 is provided on the first side 110 of the main board 100, and the first buckle 320 is located at the notch 120. The notch 120 includes a first side 121, a second side 122 and a third side 123. The first side 121 and the third side 123 are oppositely arranged. The second side 122 is located between the first side 121 and the third side 123 and is oppositely arranged with the opening of the notch 120. The first buckle portion 322 is clamped with the second side 122 of the notch 120, and the second buckle portion 323 is located on the first side 121 of the notch 120. The threaded hole 311 is located on the third side 123 of the notch 120 and has a certain distance from the third side 123. One end of the steel sheet 200 can be provided with a clamping interface, and the second buckle portion 323 is clamped with the clamping interface on the steel sheet 200 to fix one end of the steel sheet 200.
