It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and are not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0046] In the following description, specific details such as particular system architectures and techniques are set forth for illustrative purposes and not for limitation, in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of this application. However, those skilled in the art will understand that this application may also be implemented in other embodiments without these specific details. In other instances, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, apparatuses, circuits, and methods have been omitted so as not to obscure the description of this application with unnecessary detail.

[0048] References to "one embodiment" or "some embodiments" 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 application. 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. The terms "including," "comprising," "having," and variations thereof all mean "including but not limited to," unless otherwise specifically emphasized.

[0049] In related technologies, because the functional components connected to electronic devices through interfaces need to be frequently unplugged, the main control circuit board and interfaces of electronic devices are easily damaged by external forces, affecting the normal use of electronic devices.

[0050] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a shell structure, specifically:

[0051] A housing structure, comprising a housing body and a circuit interface;

[0052] The housing body is provided with a connection port;

[0053] A limit structure is provided around the edge of the connection port of the housing body;

[0054] The circuit interface is located in the connection port and is engaged with the limiting structure.

[0055] As described above, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: a limiting structure is provided at the connection port of the housing body, so that the circuit interface disposed in the connection port is engaged with the limiting structure. The limiting structure effectively fixes the circuit interface in the connection port, which facilitates the removal of components and avoids deformation of the main control circuit board caused by the circuit interface when the components are removed, thereby effectively protecting the main control circuit board and the interface structure.

[0056] In one embodiment of this application, the first end of the circuit interface is used to connect to the main control circuit board of the electronic device;

[0057] The circuit interface is connected to the second end, which is opposite to the first end, and is engaged with the limiting structure.

[0058] As described above, one end of the circuit interface is connected to the main control circuit board, and the other end of the circuit interface is engaged with the limiting structure. When the component is pulled out of the circuit interface, the limiting structure can provide reverse pressure to limit the circuit interface, thereby preventing the main control circuit board from deforming.

[0059] In one embodiment of this application, the first end of the circuit interface is used for fixed connection with the main control circuit board or for plugging into other interfaces of the main control circuit board.

[0060] As described above, the circuit interface can be used as an interface for the main control circuit board to snap into the housing body, or it can be used as a circuit interface for fixing the housing body to plug into other interfaces of the main control circuit board.

[0061] In one embodiment of this application, the second end of the circuit interface includes an interface portion and a limiting portion disposed around the interface portion;

[0062] The interface section is used to connect other functional components of the electronic device;

[0063] The limiting part is engaged with the limiting structure.

[0064] As can be seen from the above description, the limiting part is set around the interface part to avoid the limiting structure affecting the connection function of the circuit interface.

[0065] In one embodiment of this application, the limiting part includes a first limiting platform disposed on a first side of the interface part;

[0066] The limiting structure includes a first limiting post;

[0067] The first end of the first limiting post is connected to the edge of the housing body surrounding the connecting opening;

[0068] The second end of the first limiting post extends onto the first limiting platform so that the first limiting platform engages with the first limiting post.

[0069] As can be seen from the above description, since the first limiting post of the housing body extends and is set on the first limiting platform of the circuit interface, the circuit interface cannot be dislodged from the direction where the limiting structure is set, thereby limiting the circuit interface and ensuring that the circuit interface will not shift when the component is pulled out.

[0070] In one embodiment of this application, the limiting part includes a second limiting platform disposed on the second side of the interface part;

[0071] The limiting structure includes a second limiting post;

[0072] The first end of the second limiting post is connected to the edge of the housing body surrounding the connecting opening;

[0073] The second end of the second limiting post extends and is disposed at the corner of the second limiting platform so that the second limiting platform and the second limiting post are engaged.

[0074] As described above, the second limiting post of the housing body extends to the corner of the second limiting platform of the circuit interface, further ensuring the stability of the circuit interface snap-fit ​​limiting.

[0075] In one embodiment of this application, the limiting structure includes a limiting plate;

[0076] The limiting plate is located at the edge of the housing body surrounding the connection port;

[0077] The side of the limiting plate closest to the connection port is in contact with the circuit interface.

[0078] As described above, the circuit interface is limited in other dimensions by the limiting plate, which prevents the circuit interface from tilting left or right, thereby reducing the deformation of the main control connection board.

[0079] In one embodiment of this application, a flat plate portion is further provided around the edge of the connection port of the housing body;

[0080] The first end of the first limiting post is connected to one side of the flat plate;

[0081] The first end of the second limiting post is connected to the other side of the flat plate.

[0082] As can be seen from the above description, by strengthening the connection between the first and second limiting posts through the flat plate, the limiting structure is prevented from breaking due to excessive force when the component is pulled out.

[0083] In one embodiment of this application, the housing body is provided with a battery compartment;

[0084] The connection port is located in the battery compartment;

[0085] Alternatively, the casing itself may be equipped with an expansion dock;

[0086] The connection port is located on the docking station.

[0087] As described above, placing the connection port in the battery compartment or expansion dock allows the battery of the electronic device to be connected to other modules or devices for power supply via the circuit interface.

[0088] Another embodiment of this utility model provides an electronic device, including the aforementioned housing structure.

[0089] In one embodiment of this application, the electronic device may be a POS machine, a self-service terminal, or a payment device, etc.

If the connection port 11 is not provided with a circuit interface 2, the second end of the first limiting post 121 is suspended in the connection port 11. In one embodiment of this application, the first limiting post 121 is a right-angle hook.

The limiting part 22 of the circuit interface 2 is also provided with an insertion limiting structure 223, which is used to limit the insertion interface of the functional element and prevent the insertion interface of the functional element from damaging the interface part 21 of the circuit interface 2 when inserted. In one embodiment of this application, the circuit interface 2 is rectangular in shape, the shape of the connecting port 11 is adapted to the shape of the circuit interface 2, and the second limiting post 122 is located at the corner of the connecting port 11, so that the second limiting post 122 can wrap around the corner of the circuit interface 2 to achieve engagement.
