[0028] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application more clear, the following further describes this application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this application and are not intended to limit this application.

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. Throughout the description of this application, "plurality" means two or more, unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0031] References to "one embodiment," "some embodiments," or "an embodiment" in this specification mean that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in conjunction with that embodiment is included in one or more embodiments of the present invention. Thus, phrases such as "in one embodiment," "in some embodiments," "in other embodiments," and "in other embodiments" appearing in various places in this specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, but rather mean "one or more, but not all, embodiments," unless otherwise specifically emphasized. Furthermore, in one or more embodiments, particular features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner.

[0032] When electronic devices such as laptops, routers, and set-top boxes are placed on a table, they are usually elevated using the pads on their bottom shells as support structures to facilitate heat dissipation and achieve balance of the entire device.

[0033] In the related art, the main method of assembling foot pads is to adhere them to the bottom case of the electronic device using an adhesive layer formed by hot melt adhesive or glue. Because users tend to drag electronic devices on a table when adjusting their position (especially heavy electronic devices such as laptops), the foot pads are subject to resistance from the table. This resistance forces the foot pads to overcome the adhesive force of the adhesive layer and move relative to the bottom case, making the foot pads easily fall off the bottom case.

[0034] In view of the above problems, embodiments of the present application provide a bottom shell support structure and an electronic device, aiming to solve the problem that the foot pad easily falls off from the bottom shell.

[0035] In order to illustrate the technical solution of the present application, the following description is given with reference to specific drawings and embodiments.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 , an embodiment of the present application provides a bottom shell support structure, including a bottom shell 1, an adhesive layer 2 and a foot pad 3.

[0037] The bottom shell 1 has a mounting surface 11 and a first plug hole 12 passing through the mounting surface 11; the adhesive layer 2 is attached to the mounting surface 11; the foot pad 3 includes a plug portion 31 and a support portion 32, the plug portion 31 is plugged into the first plug hole 12, and the support portion 32 is attached to the surface of the adhesive layer 2 facing away from the mounting surface 11.

[0038] In the bottom shell support structure provided by the present application, since the support portion 32 is attached to the surface of the adhesive layer 2 facing away from the mounting surface 11, the foot pad 3 can be fixed on the bottom shell 1; and since the plug-in portion 31 is plugged into the first plug-in hole 12, when the user drags the electronic device having the bottom shell support structure of an embodiment of the present application on the table, the inner side wall of the first plug-in hole 12 can support the plug-in portion 31 to prevent the foot pad 3 from moving relative to the bottom shell 1, thereby preventing the foot pad 3 from falling off the bottom shell 1.

[0039] In the above embodiment, by designing the first insertion hole 12 and the insertion portion 31 , when the foot pad 3 is assembled on the bottom shell 1 , the insertion portion 31 is aligned with and inserted into the first insertion hole 12 , which can prevent the foot pad 3 from being installed offset.

[0040] In some embodiments, there are multiple first plug-in holes 12 and multiple plug-in parts 31, and each first plug-in hole 12 is plugged with a plug-in part 31, which can not only further prevent the foot pad 3 from falling off the bottom shell 1, but also prevent the foot pad 3 from rotating relative to the base, thereby preventing the foot pad 3 from being displaced.

[0041] It should be noted that the bottom shell 1 in the bottom shell support structure of the embodiment of the present application is the bottom shell 1 of an electronic device such as a laptop computer, a router, or a set-top box. After the bottom shell support structure of the embodiment of the present application is applied to the electronic device, a portion of the foot pad 3 protrudes from the electronic device, and the protruding foot pad 3 is used to contact the table surface, thereby maintaining a certain distance between the base and the table surface, which helps to dissipate heat from the electronic device.

[0042] It should be noted that in the bottom shell support structure in the related art, the foot pad 3 is attached to the bottom shell 1 using the adhesive layer 2, and then the raised crater retaining wall on the bottom shell 1 or the pillar formed by hot melting on the bottom shell 1 is used to resist the foot pad 3 to prevent the foot pad 3 from moving relative to the bottom shell 1, thereby ensuring that the foot pad 3 does not fall off. Among them, using the raised crater retaining wall on the bottom shell 1 to resist the foot pad 3 will cause part of the bottom shell 1 to bulge, making the bottom shell 1 unsightly; using the pillar formed by hot melting on the bottom shell 1 to resist the foot pad 3 requires hot melt glue to be poured into the bottom shell 1, which will squeeze the space inside the bottom shell 1, resulting in an increase in the overall thickness of the electronic device. During the assembly process, a hot melt jig is also required, which makes the assembly process of the foot pad 3 complicated.

[0043] The bottom shell support structure of the embodiment of the present application can overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages. While ensuring that the foot pad 3 is not easy to fall off from the bottom shell 1, the thickness of the bottom shell 1 can be reduced as much as possible, which is conducive to the miniaturization of electronic devices with the bottom shell support structure of the embodiment of the present application.

[0044] Furthermore, the bottom shell support structure of the embodiment of the present application has a relatively simple structure, which can reduce assembly steps, save manpower, and effectively reduce costs.

[0045] In some embodiments, at least three mounting surfaces 11 , three adhesive layers 2 and three foot pads 3 are provided on the bottom housing 1 , and the three foot pads 3 are not on the same straight line, so that the electronic device can be stably and balancedly elevated.

[0046] In some embodiments, a mounting surface 11 , an adhesive layer 2 , and a foot pad 3 are respectively provided at the four corners of the bottom shell 1 , so that the electronic device can be elevated more stably and balanced.

[0047] Optionally, the adhesive layer 2 is a double-sided adhesive layer or a foam adhesive adhesive layer 2.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, a first receiving groove 321 is provided on the support portion 32 , and a clamping portion 13 received in the first receiving groove 321 is provided on the mounting surface 11 .

[0049] By adopting the above technical solution, the clamping portion 13 is accommodated in the first accommodating groove 321. When the user drags the electronic device having the bottom shell support structure of the embodiment of the present application on the table, not only the inner side wall of the first plug-in hole 12 will abut the plug-in portion 31, but also the inner side wall of the first accommodating groove 321 will abut the clamping portion 13, so as to further prevent the foot pad 3 from moving relative to the bottom shell 1, thereby further preventing the foot pad 3 from falling off the bottom shell 1.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the clamping portion 13 is provided with a second plug hole 131 connected to the first plug hole 12, the first accommodating groove 321 is arranged around the circumference of the plug portion 31, and the plug portion 31 passes through the second plug hole 131 and the first plug hole 12 in sequence.

[0051] By adopting the above technical solution, in the orientation direction of the mounting surface 11 (the X direction in the figure), the clamping portion 13 is located on one side of the first plug hole 12, and the second plug hole 131 on the clamping portion 13 and the first plug hole 12 are distributed in the orientation direction of the mounting surface 11 and are coaxially arranged, making the structure of the base more compact.

[0052] Moreover, in the above embodiment, when the user drags the electronic device having the bottom shell support structure of the embodiment of the present application onto the table, the inner side wall of the second plug hole 131 can jointly support the plug-in portion 31 with the inner side wall of the first plug hole 12, thereby increasing the contact area between the plug-in portion 31 and the base, thereby strengthening the connection relationship between the plug-in portion 31 and the base, and further preventing the foot pad 3 from moving relative to the bottom shell 1, thereby further preventing the foot pad 3 from falling off the bottom shell 1.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 4In some embodiments, a plurality of clamping portions 13 are provided on the mounting surface 11 , a plurality of first receiving grooves 321 are provided on the supporting portion 32 , and each of the first receiving grooves 321 receives a clamping portion 13 .

[0054] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple snap-fitting portions 13 and multiple first accommodating grooves 321 are matched one-to-one, which can enhance the connection between the plug-in portion 31 and the base. When the user drags the electronic device having the bottom shell support structure of the embodiment of the present application on the table, the inner side wall of each first accommodating groove 321 can abut against a snap-fitting portion 13, which can further prevent the foot pad 3 from moving relative to the bottom shell 1, thereby further preventing the foot pad 3 from falling off the bottom shell 1.

[0055] Please refer to Figure 4 In some embodiments, a reinforcing portion 14 is further provided on the bottom shell 1 , and the reinforcing portion 14 is respectively connected to at least two adjacent clamping portions 13 .

[0056] By adopting the above technical solution, the strength of the clamping portion 13 can be enhanced, and the clamping portion 13 can be prevented from breaking when the user drags the electronic device having the bottom shell support structure of the embodiment of the application on the table.

[0057] Please refer to Figure 4 In some embodiments, in the orientation direction of the mounting surface 11 (the X direction in the figure), the height of the clamping portion 13 is equal to the height of the reinforcing portion 14, so that the structure of the base is more compact.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, a second receiving groove 322 communicating with the first receiving groove 321 is provided on the support portion 32 , and the reinforcing portion 14 is received in the second receiving groove 322 .

[0059] By adopting the above technical solution, when a user drags an electronic device having the bottom shell support structure of an embodiment of the present application on a table, the inner side wall of the second accommodating groove 322 can abut the reinforcing portion 14 to further prevent the foot pad 3 from moving relative to the bottom shell 1, thereby further preventing the foot pad 3 from falling off the bottom shell 1.

[0060] In the above embodiment, the second accommodating groove 322 can avoid the reinforcing portion 14, so that the surface of the supporting portion 32 facing the base can be more closely attached to the surface of the adhesive layer 2 facing away from the mounting surface 11, thereby enhancing the compactness of the bottom shell support structure of the embodiment of the present application.

[0061] Please refer to Figure 5 In some embodiments, in the orientation direction of the mounting surface 11 (the X direction in the figure), the depths of the first accommodating groove 321 and the second accommodating groove 322 are equal, and the notch of the first accommodating groove 321 and the notch of the second accommodating groove 322 are flush.

[0062] By adopting the above technical solution, the surface of the support portion 32 facing the base can be closely attached to the surface of the adhesive layer 2 facing away from the mounting surface 11, thereby enhancing the compactness of the bottom shell support structure of the embodiment of the present application.

[0063] Please refer to Figure 5 In some embodiments, in the orientation direction of the mounting surface 11 (the X direction in the figure), the plug-in portion 31 protrudes from the notch of the first accommodating groove 321 .

[0064] By adopting the above technical solution, it is advantageous for the plug-in portion 31 to be plugged into the second plug-in hole 131 and the first plug-in hole 12 in sequence.

[0065] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, a third accommodating groove 15 is provided on the bottom shell 1, the bottom surface of the third accommodating groove 15 is the mounting surface 11, the foot pad 3 is accommodated in the third accommodating groove 15, and the foot pad 3 protrudes from the notch of the third accommodating groove 15.

[0066] By adopting the above technical solution, when a user drags an electronic device having the bottom shell support structure of an embodiment of the present application on a table, the inner side wall of the third accommodating groove 15 can support the foot pad 3 to further prevent the foot pad 3 from moving relative to the bottom shell 1, thereby further preventing the foot pad 3 from falling off the bottom shell 1.

[0067] Please refer to Figure 2 In some embodiments, in the orientation direction of the mounting surface 11 (the X direction in the figure), the clamping portion 13 protrudes from the third accommodating groove 15 .

[0068] By adopting the above technical solution, when installing the foot pad 3, the plug-in portion 31 contacts the clamping portion 13 before the foot pad 3 is accommodated in the third accommodating groove 15. The third plug-in hole on the clamping portion 13 plays a guiding role to facilitate the positioning of the foot pad 3.

[0069] In the base support structure of the embodiment of the present application, when the user drags the electronic device having the bottom shell support structure of the embodiment of the present application on the table, the inner side wall of the third accommodating groove 15 and the foot pad 3 abut against each other, the inner side wall of the first accommodating groove 321 and the outer side wall of the clamping portion 13 abut against each other, the inner side wall of the first plugging hole 12 and the outer side wall of the plugging portion 31 abut against each other, and the inner side wall of the second plugging hole 131 and the outer side wall of the plugging portion 31 abut against each other, which can prevent the foot pad 3 from moving relative to the bottom shell 1, thereby further preventing the foot pad 3 from falling off the bottom shell 1.

[0070] Please refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the foot pad 3 further includes an anti-slip portion 33 , which is disposed on a surface of the support portion 32 facing away from the mounting surface 11 .

[0071] By adopting the above technical solution, the friction between the foot pad 3 and the table top can be increased, so that the foot pad 3 is not easy to slide relative to the table top.

[0072] It should be noted that the anti-slip portion 33 is an anti-slip material attached to the surface of the support portion 32 facing away from the mounting surface 11 .

[0073] Optionally, the anti-slip material may be an elastic material such as rubber, silicone, etc. For example, the anti-slip material may be TPU (Thermoplastic Urethane).

[0074] In some embodiments, the plug-in portion 31 and the support portion 32 are integrally formed plastic bodies, and are assembled and fixed with the anti-slip portion 33 after the plug-in portion 31 and the support portion 32 are formed.

[0075] Please refer to Figure 2 In some embodiments, in a direction opposite to the mounting surface 11 , the plug-in portion 31 is flush with the bottom shell 1 .

[0076] By adopting the above technical solution, the foot pad 3 will not occupy the space on the side of the bottom shell 1 away from the foot pad 3, so as to reduce the thickness of the bottom shell support structure in the direction of the mounting surface 11, so that the foot pad 3 will not occupy the space inside the electronic device, thereby reducing the thickness of the electronic device in the direction of the mounting surface 11.

[0077] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution adopted in the second embodiment of the present application is: an electronic device, including the bottom shell support structure of the above-mentioned first embodiment.

[0078] By applying the bottom shell support structure of the first embodiment to an electronic device, the foot pad 3 on the electronic device can be prevented from falling off the bottom shell 1, thereby helping the electronic device to dissipate heat and maintain balance.

[0079] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, rather than to limit them. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein.
