Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of electronic device assembly, and more specifically, to a connection structure and electronic device. Background Technology
[0002] Screws are a common type of fastener, offering advantages such as ease of use, reliable fastening, and the ability to be repeatedly disassembled. They are frequently used components in computer mainframes, industrial control systems, and other equipment. Screws are used to tighten mounting parts and other components to assemble the equipment. When the equipment needs upgrading or repair, the screws need to be removed to separate them from the mounting parts, allowing for disassembly of the equipment.
[0003] Because screws are small and easy to roll, removed screws are prone to falling into equipment or rolling away and getting lost. Once a screw falls into equipment, it is often difficult to remove, or it takes a lot of effort to remove it. Moreover, lost screws are not easy to find, resulting in no screws available, which brings more trouble to users and seriously affects the efficiency of disassembly and assembly. Utility Model Content

[0011] Optionally, the connecting portion is strip-shaped, and the thickness of the connecting portion is less than the thickness of the first mounting portion and the thickness of the second mounting portion; the first mounting portion, the second mounting portion, and the connecting portion are integrally formed.
[0012] Optionally, a fixing post is provided on the first side of the first mounting part, the fixing post being used to be inserted into the fixing hole of the mounting member, and the first side of the first mounting part is welded to the mounting member.
[0013] Optionally, the fastener includes a connecting rod and a connecting cap, the connecting cap being fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod, the connecting rod including a threaded portion, the threaded portion being the end of the connecting rod away from the connecting cap, and the fastener being threadedly connected to the mounting component based on the threaded portion.
[0014] Optionally, the second mounting part is provided with a mounting hole, and the connecting rod further includes a screw part near one end of the connecting cap. The screw part passes through the mounting hole and is rotatably engaged with the second mounting part.

[0032] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This is one embodiment of the electronic device described in this application, including a main body 2 ( Figure 1 The electronic device body 2 is shown as a part of the main body and the connecting structure 1. The main body 2 includes a mounting part 21 and other parts for locking the mounting part 21. The connecting structure 1 is mounted on the mounting part 21 so that the connecting structure 1 and the mounting part 21 become a whole. The connecting structure 1 is used to lock the mounting part 21 and the other parts to realize the assembly of the device.
[0033] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 This is one embodiment of the connection structure 1 in this application. The connection structure 1 includes a bracket 11 and a fastener 12. The fastener 12 is disposed on the bracket 11, which avoids the situation where the fastener 12 is easy to roll due to its small size and thus falls off and is lost.
[0034] Specifically, the bracket 11 includes a first mounting part 111, a second mounting part 112, and a connecting part 113. The first mounting part 111 and the second mounting part 112 are the two ends of the bracket 11, and the connecting part 113 is disposed between the first mounting part 111 and the second mounting part 112. The first mounting part 111 and the second mounting part 112 are connected by the connecting part 113.
[0035] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4The first mounting portion 111 and the second mounting portion 112 are both block-shaped, and the connecting portion 113 is strip-shaped. The first mounting portion 111 is parallel to the mounting member 21 and is fixedly connected to the mounting member 21. Specifically, a fixing post 1111 is provided on the first side of the first mounting portion 111. The fixing post 1111 is used to insert into the fixing hole 211 of the mounting member 21, and the first side of the first mounting portion 111 is welded to the mounting member 21. In this embodiment, the first side of the first mounting portion 111 is the side facing the mounting member 21, and the second side of the first mounting portion 111 is the side facing away from the mounting member 21. The first mounting portion 111 is vertically arranged and parallel to the mounting member 21. Two fixing posts 1111 are provided, and the two fixing posts 1111 are arranged along the length direction of the first mounting portion 111. The two fixing posts 1111 are PCS hot-melt posts. Understandably, during the welding process between the first mounting part 111 and the mounting component 21, the fixing post 1111 is inserted into the fixing hole 211 of the mounting component 21, which helps to fix the first mounting part 111 and plays a positioning role, enabling precise alignment of the area to be welded; secondly, by heating, the fixing post 1111 is softened and adhered to the mounting component 21, and then cooled and hardened to form a firm joint. Since the hot melt post operation is simple and quick, it does not require special flux or long heating time, thus improving work efficiency.
[0036] Fastener 12 is disposed on the second mounting part 112. Fastener 12 is used for detachable connection with mounting part 21 to lock or unlock mounting part 21. It can be understood that when the equipment needs to be assembled, bracket 11 is fixed to mounting part 21 of the equipment via the first mounting part 111, and fastener 12 can be directly disposed on bracket 11 via the second mounting part 112. Mounting part 21 is locked to other components by fastener 12 to achieve equipment assembly. When the equipment needs to be disassembled, fastener 12 is removed from mounting part 21 to release the lock between mounting part 21 and other components. Since fastener 12 is disposed on the second mounting part 112, it is not separated from bracket 11, preventing loss of fastener 12 after unlocking. When reassembling, fastener 12 can be directly removed and used via the second mounting part 112, thereby improving the efficiency of equipment assembly and disassembly.
[0037] The connecting part 113 is elastic, which gives it good flexibility. It can be bent more easily under external force and quickly return to its original state after the external force is removed. This makes it easy to adjust the distance between the fastener 12 and the mounting part 21, so that the fastener 12 and the mounting part 21 can contact and connect to achieve locking between the fastener 12 and the mounting part 21, or to allow the fastener 12 to move away from the mounting part 21 after unlocking.
[0038] Specifically, when the fastener 12 and the mounting part 21 are in the unlocked state, the connecting part 113 is tilted away from the mounting part 21. There is a mounting gap 13 between the second mounting part 112 and the mounting part 21. The mounting gap 13 is used to adjust the distance between the fastener 12 and the mounting part 21. At this time, the end of the fastener 12 that is close to the mounting part 21 does not exceed the mounting surface of the mounting part 21 that is away from the second mounting part 112. Therefore, when the fastener 12 and the mounting part 21 are in the unlocked state, the fastener 12 can avoid blocking other parts. A force is applied to the second mounting part 112, and the mounting gap 13 between the second mounting part 112 and the mounting member 21 gradually decreases, so that the fastener 12 gradually approaches the mounting member 21, thereby connecting and locking the fastener 12 and the mounting member 21. When the fastener 12 locks the mounting member 21, one end of the fastener 12 is located on the second mounting part 112, and the other end directly penetrates the mounting member 21. The distance by which the fastener 12 extends out of the mounting member 21 is determined by controlling the size of the mounting gap 13. By controlling the compression size of the mounting gap 13, after the fastener 12 locks the mounting member 21, the distance by which the end of the fastener 12 close to the mounting member 21 extends out of the mounting member 21 avoids obstructing the remaining components inside the electronic device.
[0039] In this embodiment, the thickness of the connecting portion 113 is less than the thickness of the first mounting portion 111 and the second mounting portion 112. Applying force to the second mounting portion 112 helps to compress the mounting gap 13, making it easier for the fastener 12 to connect with the mounting member 21. The second mounting portion 112 and the connecting portion 113 are located on the same plane. When a force is applied to the second mounting portion 112, as the fastener 12 moves toward the mounting member 21, the movement path of the fastener 12 is approximately an arc with the connection point of the first mounting portion 111 and the connecting portion 113 as the origin and the length of the connecting portion 113 as the radius. In some embodiments, the second mounting portion 112 is arranged parallel to the first mounting portion 111, and the movement path of the fastener 12 is approximately an arc as it moves toward the mounting member 21. In some other embodiments, as the fastener 12 moves toward the mounting member 21, the connecting portion 113 is bent to compress the mounting gap 13, and the movement path of the fastener 12 is approximately a straight line.
[0040] In this embodiment, the first mounting part 111, the second mounting part 112, and the connecting part 113 are integrally formed. The first mounting part 111 and the second mounting part 112 are made of plastic, and the connecting part 113 is also made of plastic. That is, the first mounting part 111, the second mounting part 112, and the connecting part 113 are made of the same material. The integral molding process allows for the production of complete parts in one go, enhancing the strength and precision of the bracket 11 and significantly improving production efficiency.
[0041] The fastener 12 includes a connecting rod 121 and a connecting cap 122. The connecting cap 122 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod 121. The connecting rod 121 includes a threaded portion 1211 and a screw portion 1212. The threaded portion 1211 is the end of the connecting rod 121 away from the connecting cap 122, and the surface of the threaded portion 1211 has threads. The fastener 12 and the mounting part 21 are connected by the threads of the threaded portion 1211. The screw portion 1212 is the end of the connecting rod 121 close to the connecting cap 122, and the surface of the screw portion 1212 has no threads. The second mounting part 112 is provided with a mounting hole 1121. The screw portion 1212 passes through the mounting hole 1121 and is rotatably engaged with the second mounting part 112. The threaded portion 1211 is provided on the first side of the second mounting part 112, and the connecting cap 122 is provided on the second side of the second mounting part 112. In this embodiment, the fastener 12 is preferably a screw, the first side of the second mounting portion 112 is the side facing the mounting member 21, and the second side of the second mounting portion 112 is the side facing away from the mounting member 21.
[0042] To ensure the fastener 12 is stably installed in the second mounting portion 112, the diameter of the mounting hole 1121 is smaller than the diameter of the threaded portion 1211 and the connecting cap 122, while the diameter of the mounting hole 1121 is larger than the diameter of the screw portion 1212. This allows the screw portion 1212 to rotate freely within the mounting hole 1121, while the diameters of the connecting cap 122 and the threaded portion 1211 are larger than the diameter of the mounting hole 1121, preventing them from passing through and thus preventing the fastener 12 from falling off the second mounting portion 112, ensuring the installation stability of the fastener 12. Applying a force to the second mounting portion 112 causes the threaded portion 1211 to gradually move closer to the mounting member 21. Rotating the connecting cap 122 causes the threaded portion 1211 to rotate synchronously, thus achieving a threaded connection with the mounting member 21.
[0043] The above-described embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
