[0002] Currently, when replacing internal components of common electronic products, it is usually necessary to first loosen the screws of the cover on the back of the electronic product before the cover can be opened to replace the internal components. However, the process of disassembling and assembling the cover often takes a lot of time. Different types of screws also need to be disassembled and assembled with different tools, causing inconvenience to maintenance personnel during the disassembly and assembly process. Therefore, how to make the cover easier to disassemble and assemble is one of the goals that researchers in this field strive for. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] This case provides an electronic device, which includes a fixing member, a cover body, and a sliding member. The fixing member includes a main hook and a secondary hook. The cover body is detachably assembled to the fixing member. The sliding member is slidably disposed on the cover body, and the sliding member includes a first hook and a second hook. When the cover body is assembled to the fixing member, the cover body covers the main hook, the secondary hook, the first hook, and the second hook, and the first hook engages with the main hook. When the sliding member slides relative to the cover body in a first direction to an unlocking position, the first hook disengages from the main hook, and the second hook engages with the secondary hook. When the sliding member slides from the unlocking position in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, the second hook disengages from the secondary hook, and the cover body separates from the fixing member.

[0004] Based on the above, the fixing member of this case includes a main hook and a secondary hook. The sliding member is slidably assembled to the fixing member, and the sliding member includes a first hook and a second hook. When the cover body is assembled to the fixing member, the first hook engages with the main hook. When the sliding member slides relative to the cover body in a first direction to an unlocking position, the first hook disengages from the main hook, and the second hook engages with the secondary hook. When the sliding member slides from the unlocking position in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, the second hook disengages from the secondary hook, and the cover body separates from the fixing member. Such a design allows the user to disassemble and assemble the cover body to and from the fixing member through a simple operation of moving the sliding member, thereby reducing the disassembly and assembly time of the user, reducing the risk of overall structural damage, enhancing assembly reliability, improving product consistency, and facilitating cleaning and maintenance.

[0057] Figure 1 is a schematic external view of an electronic device according to an embodiment of this case. Figure 2 is Figure 1 an exploded view of the electronic device. Figure 3 is Figure 2 a partial enlarged view of the fixing part. Figure 4 is Figure 1 a partial enlarged view of the cover body and the sliding part from another perspective. It should be noted first that for the sake of simplicity of the drawing, Figure 2 other internal components (such as hard disks and other components) are omitted in the exploded view. Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , the electronic device 100 of this embodiment is, for example, a lower body pivotally connected to an upper body (not shown) of a notebook computer, but this case is not limited thereto.

[0058] The electronic device 100 of this embodiment includes a fixing part 110, a cover body 120 and a sliding part 130. The fixing part 110 includes a main catch 111 and a secondary catch 112 (shown in Figure 3 ). The cover body 120 is detachably assembled to the fixing part 110. The fixing part 110 is made of, for example, polycarbonate (PC) in combination with acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) material, and the cover body 120 is made of, for example, plastic, but this case is not limited thereto.

[0059] The sliding part 130 is slidably disposed on the cover body 120, and the sliding part 130 includes a first catch 131 and a second catch 132 (shown in Figure 4 ). The main catch 111 is adapted to cooperate with the first catch 131 to engage with each other. The secondary catch 112 is adapted to cooperate with the second catch 132 to engage with each other.

[0060] Specifically, the slider 130 of this embodiment includes an outer slider 133 and an inner slider 134 connected to each other. The outer slider 133 and the inner slider 134 are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the outer and inner sides of the cover 120. The inner slider 134 includes the aforementioned first hook 131 and second hook 132. The outer slider 133 includes a covering portion 1331 and a main body portion 1332. The covering portion 1331 covers the main body portion 1332. The main body portion 1332 is connected and locked to the inner slider 134 through the locking assembly 140 through the opening 121 (shown in Figure 2 ) of the cover 120.

[0061] The material of the outer slider 133 is, for example, two-shot injection molding. The covering portion 1331 is made of, for example, thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) or silicone rubber, and the main body portion 1332 is made of, for example, polyoxymethylene (POM) or polycarbonate blended with acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene material. The inner slider 134 is made of, for example, polyoxymethylene material, but the present case is not limited thereto.

[0062] Through the cooperation of the main hook 111 and the first hook 131, and the secondary hook 112 and the second hook 132, the user can separate the cover 120 from the fixing member 110 by moving the slider 130. The process of separating the cover 120 from the fixing member 110 is introduced below.

[0063] Figure 5A is Figure 1 a schematic external view of another perspective of the electronic device. Figure 5B is a vertical sectional view along the section line A-A' of Figure 5A . Figure 5C is a horizontal sectional view along the section line B-B' of Figure 5A . It should be noted that, in order to clearly see the internal components, Figure 5A , Figure 6A , Figure 7A and Figure 8A of the cover 120 are drawn in a perspective manner. Please refer to Figures 5A to 5C , when the cover 120 is assembled to the fixing member 110 to present the Figure 5A appearance, the cover 120 covers the main hook 111, the secondary hook 112, the first hook 131 and the second hook 132. The first hook 131 is hooked to the main hook 111, and the second hook 132 is not hooked to the secondary hook 112.

[0064] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 5B and Figure 5CAs shown, the main catch 111 restricts the movement of the first catch 131 of the slider 130 in the Y direction and the Z direction (i.e., the main catch 111 restricts the movement of the first catch 131 in the up and down direction and the front and back direction). In addition, the slider 130 is disposed on the cover 120, and the movement of the cover 120 relative to the fixing member 110 is restricted by the cooperation between the main catch 111 of the fixing member 110 and the first catch 131 of the slider 130.

[0065] In addition, as Figure 4 shown, the electronic device 100 of this embodiment further includes an elastic member 150. The material of the elastic member 150 is, for example, carbon steel, but this case is not limited thereto. The elastic member 150 is received in the slot 1341 of the inner slider 134, and both ends of the elastic member 150 are respectively connected to the fixing piece 123 of the cover 120 and the inner slider 134. The setting of the elastic member 150 can control the movement of the slider 130 relative to the cover 120 in the X direction (i.e., the left and right direction of the drawing surface), so as to prevent the user from accidentally touching the slider 130 and unlocking it by mistake.

[0066] Figure 6A is Figure 1 a schematic view of the appearance of the electronic device when the slider moves to the unlocking position. Figure 6B is along Figure 6A the vertical sectional view taken along the section line C-C' of Figure 6C is along Figure 6A the horizontal sectional view taken along the section line D-D' of Figures 6A to 6C Please refer to Figures 6A to 6C , when the slider 130 slides relative to the cover 120 in the first direction D1 to the unlocking position, the first catch 131 disengages from the main catch 111, and the second catch 132 engages with the secondary catch 112. At this time, the cover 120 can move relative to the fixing member 110 in the Y-axis direction (i.e., the front and back direction of the drawing surface).

[0067] It should be added that under the elastic force of the elastic member 150, the second catch 132 will be pulled in the X direction (i.e., the right side of the drawing surface) and stably engage with the secondary catch 112, so as to achieve the function of positioning the slider 130. In addition, as Figure 5B and Figure 6B shown, the secondary catch 112 of this embodiment has a secondary guiding inclined surface 1121, and the second catch 132 has a second guiding inclined surface 1321. When the slider 130 moves in the first direction D1, the second guiding inclined surface 1321 is adapted to move along the secondary guiding inclined surface 1121, so that the second catch 132 can smoothly engage with the secondary catch 112.

[0068] Figure 7A is Figure 1 a schematic view of the appearance of the electronic device when the cover moves relative to the fixing member in the second direction. Figure 7B is along Figure 7AHorizontal sectional view of the sectional line E-E'. Please refer to Figure 7A and Figure 7B , when the slider 130 slides from the unlocked position in the second direction D2 perpendicular to the first direction D1, the second hook 132 moves along the stop surface 1122 of the secondary hook 112 in the second direction D2 and disengages from the secondary hook 112, and the cover 120 separates from the fixing member 110.

[0069] It should be added that when the second hook 132 disengages from the secondary hook 112, the slider 130 is subjected to the elastic force of the elastic member 150 and moves in the opposite direction of the first direction D1, so that the slider 130 automatically returns to the initial position (such as Figure 5A the position of the slider 130 in ). In other words, the elastic member 150 can make the slider 130 automatically reset, which can reduce the operation steps of the user and improve the convenience of use.

[0070] The following describes the process of assembling the cover 120 back to the fixing member 110.

[0071] Figure 8A is Figure 1 Schematic external view of an electronic device in which the cover moves in the opposite direction of the second direction relative to the fixing member. Figure 8B is along Figure 8A Horizontal sectional view of the sectional line F-F'. Please refer to Figure 8A and Figure 8B , the main hook 111 of this embodiment has a main guiding inclined surface 1111, and the first hook 131 has a first guiding inclined surface 1311. When the cover 120 moves in the opposite direction of the second direction D2 to be assembled to the fixing member 110, the first guiding inclined surface 1311 of the first hook 131 abuts against the main guiding inclined surface 1111 of the main hook 111. When the cover 120 continues to move in the opposite direction of the second direction D2 and drives the slider 130 to move in the opposite direction of the second direction D2, the first guiding inclined surface 1311 moves along the main guiding inclined surface 1111, so that the first hook 131 is hooked to the main hook 111. In addition, under the elastic force of the elastic member 150, the first hook 131 will be pulled in the X direction (i.e., the right side of the drawing) and stably hooked to the main hook 111, so as to achieve the function of positioning the slider 130.

[0072] Based on the above, in the electronic device 100 of this case, through the cooperation of the first catch 131 and the second catch 132 of the sliding member 130 with the main catch 111 and the secondary catch 112 of the fixing member 110, as well as the cooperation of the first guiding inclined surface 1311 and the main guiding inclined surface 1111, the user can simply operate to remove the cover 120 from the fixing member 110 or assemble the cover 120 to the fixing member 110, thus reducing the disassembly and assembly time of the user. Due to the improved convenience of disassembling and assembling the cover 120 and the fixing member 110, the enterprise can also save labor costs at the same time.

[0073] In addition, since the electronic device 100 of this case assembles the cover 120 to the fixing member 110 by moving the sliding member 130, rather than using fastening components such as screws to fasten the cover 120 and the fixing member 110, there is no need to select specific tools to disassemble and assemble the cover 120 and the fixing member 110. That is to say, the user can disassemble and assemble the cover 120 on the fixing member 110 without professional tools or skills.

[0074] In the traditional screw structure, the screw or thread is easily damaged during repeated disassembly and assembly, and the screw holes are prone to accumulate dirt or dust and need to be cleaned regularly. In addition, the screw material of the traditional screw structure may have inconsistent dimensions, resulting in the screw being too tight or too loose, and causing problems such as loosening or damage between components. Since the electronic device 100 of this case does not use screws to fasten the cover 120 and the fixing member 110, it can avoid problems such as screw or thread damage, regular cleaning, and dimensional issues, thereby reducing the damage risk, enhancing the assembly reliability, improving the product consistency, and facilitating cleaning and maintenance.

[0075] Figure 9 is Figure 2 A partial enlarged view of the fixing member. Figure 10 is Figure 2 Another partial enlarged view of the cover from a different perspective. Figure 11A and Figure 11B is Figure 8A Partial enlarged views of the cover relative to the fixing member before and after moving in the opposite direction of the second direction D2. Please refer to Figures 9 to 11B , the fixing member 110 of this embodiment further includes a first fastening assembly 113, and the cover 120 further includes a second fastening assembly 122. When the cover 120 moves in the opposite direction of the second direction D2 to be assembled to the fixing member 110, the first fastening assembly 113 is fastened to the second fastening assembly 122.

[0076] Specifically, the first fastening assembly 113 and the second fastening assembly 122 each include fastening protrusions 1131, 1221. As shown in Figure 11A and Figure 11BAs shown, when the cover 120 moves along the second direction D2 to be assembled to the fixing member 110, the engaging protrusion 1131 of the first engaging assembly 113 and the engaging protrusion 1221 of the second engaging assembly 122 are engaged with each other to further restrict the relative movement between the cover 120 and the fixing member 110 along the second direction D2.

[0077] In addition, the first engaging assembly 113 includes an engaging groove 1132, and the second engaging assembly 122 includes an engaging post 1222. When the cover 120 moves along the second direction D2 to be assembled to the fixing member 110, the engaging post 1222 of the first engaging assembly 113 is inserted into the lower groove 1132c of the engaging groove 1132 of the second engaging assembly 122, and after passing through the narrow portion 1132b, it is inserted into the upper groove 1132a to further restrict the relative movement between the cover 120 and the fixing member 110 along the second direction D2. Magnets (not shown) may be provided in the engaging post 1222 and the upper groove 1132a to further enhance the positioning effect of the two.

[0078] Furthermore, during the process of the engaging protrusion 1131 and the engaging protrusion 1221 engaging with each other and when the engaging post 1222 passes through the narrow portion 1132b, a sense of jamming will be generated, so that the user can confirm that the cover 120 has been assembled and positioned on the fixing member 110.

[0079] In summary, the fixing member of this case includes a main catch and a secondary catch. The sliding member is slidably assembled to the fixing member, and the sliding member includes a first catch and a second catch. When the cover is assembled to the fixing member, the first catch engages with the main catch. When the sliding member slides relative to the cover along the first direction to the unlocking position, the first catch disengages from the main catch, and the second catch engages with the secondary catch. When the sliding member slides along the second direction perpendicular to the first direction from the unlocking position, the second catch disengages from the secondary catch, and the cover separates from the fixing member. Such a design allows the user to simply operate the sliding member to disassemble and assemble the cover to and from the fixing member, which can reduce the disassembly and assembly time of the user, while reducing the risk of damage to the overall structure, enhancing the assembly reliability, improving the product consistency, and facilitating cleaning and maintenance.

[0080] In addition, the setting of the elastic member can make the sliding member automatically reset, and can also strengthen the stability of the second catch engaging with the secondary catch and the first catch engaging with the main catch. The first engaging assembly of the fixing member and the second engaging assembly of the cover can be engaged with each other to further restrict the relative movement between the cover and the fixing member along the second direction. The jamming generated by the relative movement of the first engaging assembly and the second engaging assembly can also allow the user to confirm that the cover has been assembled and positioned on the fixing member.

[0081] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
