Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of ruggedization technology, and in particular to a ruggedization device and electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] Dongles are primarily used for software licensing and copyright protection of electronic devices, providing secure verification functions. In practical applications, dongles are typically shaped like small USB flash drives. Most dongles connect to a computer via a USB interface for key verification.

[0003] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The existing dongle 10' is secured to the USB interface 20' through the cooperation between the metal slot 101' on the dongle and the metal clip 201' on the USB interface 20', thereby reducing the risk of the dongle 10' falling off. However, in environments with significant vibration or after repeated insertion and removal of the dongle 10', the dongle is prone to falling off. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main technical problem addressed by the embodiments of this application is to provide a ruggedization device and electronic device that can reduce the risk of the device to be ruggedized becoming disconnected from the connection port.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, one technical solution adopted in this application embodiment is: providing a reinforcement device, including a fixing member and a limiting member. The fixing member includes a fixing part and a bearing part. One end of the fixing part is connected to one end of the bearing part. The fixing part is provided with a clearance through hole. The fixing part is used to fix to a device with a connection port. The clearance through hole is used to prevent the device to be reinforced from being inserted into the connection port. The limiting member includes a mounting part and a limiting part. One end of the mounting part is connected to the limiting part. The mounting part is connected to the bearing part. The limiting part is opposite to the fixing part. There is a receiving space between the limiting part and the fixing part for receiving the device to be reinforced. The limiting part is used to restrict the device to be reinforced from disengaging from the connection port in a first direction. The first direction is from the fixing part toward the limiting part.

[0006] In this embodiment, by fixing the fixing part of the fastener to the device with the connection port, and providing an avoidance through hole in the fixing part, the device to be reinforced is prevented from being inserted into the connection port. By providing the mounting part of the limiting member on the bearing part of the fastener, and the limiting part of the limiting member is opposite to the fixing part, the limiting part can restrict the movement of the device to be reinforced, thereby reducing the risk of the device to be reinforced falling off the connection port.

[0007] In some embodiments, the reinforcement device further includes a snap-fit ​​member disposed on the support portion; the support portion is provided with a sliding structure, and the mounting portion slides with the sliding structure to allow the mounting portion to slide relative to the support portion along a first direction. The snap-fit ​​member is removably snapped onto the mounting portion, and the snap-fit ​​member is used to limit the sliding of the mounting portion along the first direction. In this embodiment, by providing a sliding structure, the mounting portion can slide relative to the support portion along the first direction, thereby adjusting the distance between the limiting portion and the fixing portion. This facilitates the removal of the device to be reinforced from the receiving space and allows the reinforcement device to be applied to various types of devices to be reinforced, thus expanding the application range of the reinforcement device.

[0008] In some embodiments, a slot is provided at the end of the mounting portion facing the snap-fit ​​member, and the snap-fit ​​member is removably snapped into the slot to limit the sliding of the mounting portion along the first direction. In this embodiment, by providing a slot, the snap-fit ​​member can be snapped into the slot, thereby improving the stability of the snap-fit ​​member's limiting effect on the mounting portion.

[0009] In some embodiments, there are multiple slots, which are spaced apart along a first direction, and all slots are used to engage with the fastener. In this embodiment, by providing multiple slots spaced apart along the first direction, the distance between the limiting part and the fixing part can be adjusted when the fastener engages with different slots, so that devices of different sizes to be reinforced can be placed in the receiving space, adapting to the needs of devices of different sizes to be reinforced.

[0010] In some embodiments, the reinforcement device further includes an elastic element, one end of which is fixed to the bearing portion; a snap-fit ​​member is rotatably disposed on the bearing portion, the elastic element abuts against the snap-fit ​​member, and the elastic element is used to drive the snap-fit ​​member to remain snapped in the slot, thereby enabling the snap-fit ​​member to maintain the limit of the mounting portion, reducing the risk of the mounting portion sliding relative to the bearing portion in the first direction, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the limit of the device to be reinforced and reducing the risk of the device to be reinforced detaching from the connection port.

[0011] In some embodiments, the reinforcement device further includes a screw connector; the locking member includes a claw, a rotating part, and a handle. The screw connector passes through the rotating part and is screwed onto the bearing part. The rotating part is rotatable relative to the bearing part around the screw connector. One end of the claw is connected to the rotating part, and the other end of the claw is used to engage with a slot. An elastic element abuts against the claw. One end of the handle is connected to the rotating part. In this embodiment, the handle drives the rotating part to rotate, thereby driving the claw to rotate, thus switching the slot engaged with the claw, making operation convenient.

[0012] In some embodiments, the sliding structure includes a first latch and a second latch, the first latch and the second latch being opposite each other along a second direction, the first latch being provided with a first slide groove, the second latch being provided with a second slide groove, at least a portion of the mounting portion being received in the first slide groove, at least a portion of the mounting portion being received in the second slide groove, the mounting portion being slidable along the first slide groove and the second slide groove, wherein the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0013] In some embodiments, the reinforcement device further includes a buffer member disposed on the surface of the limiting portion facing the fixing portion, thereby protecting the equipment to be reinforced.

[0014] In some embodiments, the reinforcement device further includes screws, and the fixing part is provided with mounting holes. The screws are screwed into the mounting holes and then screwed onto the device with the connection port, thereby achieving the fixation between the reinforcement device and the device with the connection port.

[0015] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, another technical solution adopted in this application embodiment is to provide an electronic device, including the above-mentioned device to be ruggedized.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this application embodiment are as follows: Unlike the prior art, in this application embodiment, by fixing the fixing part of the fastener to the device with the connection port, and providing an avoidance through hole in the fixing part, the device to be reinforced is prevented from being inserted into the connection port. By setting the mounting part of the limiting member on the bearing part of the fastener, and the limiting part of the limiting member is opposite to the fixing part, the limiting part can restrict the movement of the device to be reinforced, thereby reducing the risk of the device to be reinforced falling off the connection port.

[0026] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this application described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0027] Please refer to the relevant technologies. Figure 1 and Figure 2 Devices such as dongles 10' typically connect to electronic devices via USB interfaces 20'. By setting a metal slot 101' on the dongle 10' and a metal buckle 201' on the USB interface 20', the dongle 10' is secured through the cooperation between the metal buckle 201' and the metal slot 101', thus preventing the dongle 10' from falling off.

[0028] However, in environments with significant vibration, or after accidental drops or repeated plugging and unplugging, the dongle may easily fall off.

[0029] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a ruggedized device and electronic device that can reduce the risk of USB flash drives or dongles falling off. The specific structure and function of this application are described below.

[0030] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The reinforcement device 100 includes a fixing member 1 and a limiting member 2.

[0031] The fastener 1 includes a fixing part 11 and a supporting part 12. One end of the fixing part 11 is connected to one end of the supporting part 12, and the fixing part 11 is perpendicular to the supporting part 12. The fixing part 11 is used to connect with a device having a connection port 401 (e.g., a device with a connection port 401). Figure 4 The data cable 400 is fixed. The fixing part 11 is provided with a clearance through hole 111, which is used to avoid the device to be reinforced 200, so that the device to be reinforced 200 can pass through the clearance through hole 111 and be inserted into the connection port 401.

[0032] The limiting member 2 includes a mounting part 21 and a limiting part 22. One end of the mounting part 21 is connected to one end of the limiting part 22. The mounting part 21 is perpendicular to the limiting part 22. The mounting part 21 is connected to the bearing part 12, and the limiting part 22 is opposite to the fixing part 11, so that a receiving space 3 is formed between the limiting part 22 and the fixing part 11. The receiving space 3 is used to receive the device 200 to be reinforced.

[0033] When the device to be reinforced 200 is plugged into the connection port 401, at least a portion of the device to be reinforced 200 is housed in the housing space 3, and the limiting part 22 is used to restrict the movement of the device to be reinforced 200 along the first direction X, thereby reducing the risk of the device to be reinforced 200 dislodging from the connection port 401, wherein the first direction X extends from the fixing part 11 toward the limiting part 22.

[0034] It is worth noting that the device to be hardened 200 can be a USB flash drive, a dongle, etc.; the connection port 401 can be a USB interface, a Type-C interface, etc., and the device with the connection port 401 can be a data cable 400 with the connection port 401, a computer host, a tablet, an interactive panel, etc.

[0035] In some embodiments, the mounting portion 21 and the limiting portion 22 are integrally formed, thereby improving the structural strength of the limiting member 2.

[0036] In some embodiments, the reinforcement device 100 further includes a snap-fit ​​member 4. The snap-fit ​​member 4 is mounted on the surface of the support portion 12 facing the mounting portion 21.

[0037] The support portion 12 is provided with a sliding structure 121, which is located at the end of the support portion 12 away from the fixed portion 11. The mounting portion 21 is slidably engaged with the sliding structure 121, and the mounting portion 21 can slide relative to the support portion 12 along the first direction X.

[0038] The snap-fit ​​component 4 is removably snapped onto the mounting portion 21. When the snap-fit ​​component 4 is snapped onto the mounting portion 21, it restricts the sliding of the mounting portion 21 along the first direction X, thereby limiting the movement of the device to be reinforced 200 along the first direction X by the limiting portion 22, reducing the risk of the device to be reinforced 200 disengaging from the connection port 401. When the snap-fit ​​component 4 is released from the mounting portion 21, the mounting portion 21 can slide along the first direction X, thereby adjusting the distance between the limiting portion 22 and the fixing portion 11, thus facilitating the removal of the device to be reinforced 200.

[0039] In this embodiment, by providing a sliding structure 121, the mounting part 21 can slide relative to the bearing part 12 along the first direction X, thereby adjusting the distance between the limiting part 22 and the fixing part 11. On the one hand, this facilitates the removal of the device 200 to be reinforced from the receiving space 3; on the other hand, it allows the reinforcement device 100 to be applied to various types of devices 200 to be reinforced, thereby expanding the application range of the reinforcement device 100.

[0040] In some embodiments, the mounting portion 21 has a slot 211 at one end facing the snap-fit ​​member 4, and the snap-fit ​​member 4 is removably snapped into the slot 211. When the snap-fit ​​member 4 is snapped into the slot 211, the snap-fit ​​member 4 can restrict the sliding of the mounting portion 21 along the first direction X. When the snap-fit ​​member 4 is separated from the slot 211, the mounting portion 21 can slide relative to the support portion 12 along the first direction X.

[0041] In this embodiment, by providing a slot 211, the snap-fit ​​member 4 can be snapped into the slot 211, thereby improving the stability of the snap-fit ​​member 4 in limiting the mounting part 21.

[0042] In some embodiments, there are multiple slots 211. The multiple slots 211 are distributed at intervals along the first direction X, and each of the multiple slots 211 is used to engage with the snap-fit ​​member 4, thereby restricting the sliding of the mounting part 21 along the first direction X.

[0043] In this embodiment, by setting multiple slots 211 spaced apart along the first direction X, the snap-fit ​​member 4 can snap into different slots 211, thereby adjusting the distance between the limiting part 22 and the fixing part 11, so that devices 200 of different sizes to be reinforced can be placed in the receiving space 3, and adapting to the needs of devices 200 of different sizes to be reinforced.

[0044] In some embodiments, the reinforcement device 100 may further include an elastic element 5.

[0045] One end of the elastic member 5 is fixed to the bearing portion 12. The snap-fit ​​member 4 is rotatably disposed on the surface of the bearing portion 12 facing the mounting portion 21. The elastic member 5 abuts against the snap-fit ​​member 4 so that the snap-fit ​​member 4 can remain snapped into the slot 211 without external force intervention. This allows the snap-fit ​​member 4 to maintain the limiting position of the mounting portion 21, reducing the risk of the mounting portion 21 sliding relative to the bearing portion 12 in the first direction X. This helps to improve the stability of the limiting position of the device to be reinforced 200 and reduces the risk of the device to be reinforced 200 dislodging from the connection port 401.

[0046] In some embodiments, the elastic element 5 is a spring sheet, and along the first direction X, the elastic element 5 is located between the snap-fit ​​element 4 and the limiting part 22.

[0047] In some embodiments, the locking member 4 includes a claw 41, a rotating part 42, and a handle 43. The reinforcing device 100 includes a screw member 6. The screw member 6 passes through the rotating part 42 and is screwed to the support part 12, and the rotating part 42 can rotate relative to the support part 12 about the screw member 6. One end of the claw 41 is connected to the rotating part 42, and the other end of the claw 41 is used to engage with the slot 211, and the elastic member 5 abuts against the claw 41 so that the claw 41 can be held engaged with the slot 211. One end of the handle 43 is connected to the rotating part 42, and the handle 43 is used for the user to drive the rotating part 42 to rotate, thereby causing the claw 41 to leave the slot 211 or switch the claw 41 to another slot 211.

[0048] Specifically, viewed along a direction perpendicular to the bearing portion 12 and facing the locking member 4, when the handle 43 is turned counterclockwise, the handle 43 drives the rotating portion 42 to rotate counterclockwise, thereby driving the mounting portion 21 to move away from the fixing portion 11 along the first direction X via the claw 41, thereby increasing the distance between the limiting portion 22 and the fixing portion 11, making it easier to remove the device to be reinforced 200 or to allow the receiving space 3 to accommodate a larger device to be reinforced 200; then, when the torque applied to the handle 43 is released, under the action of the elastic member 5, the locking member 4 rotates clockwise and locks into another slot 211, thereby restricting the sliding of the mounting portion 21 along the first direction X. In other words, each time the handle 43 is turned counterclockwise and then released, the slot 211 that engages with the claw 41 can be switched once, thereby adjusting the distance between the limiting part 22 and the fixing part 11 so that the distance between the limiting part 22 and the fixing part 11 can be adapted to various sizes of the equipment 200 to be reinforced, and the operation is simple and convenient.

[0049] In some embodiments, the sliding structure 121 includes a first latch 1211 and a second latch 1212. The first latch 1211 and the second latch 1212 are located at the end of the bearing portion 12 away from the fixing portion 11. The first latch 1211 and the second latch 1212 are opposite each other along a second direction Y, which is perpendicular to the first direction X. A first groove 12111 is provided at the end of the first latch 1211 facing the second latch 1212. A second groove 12121 is provided at the end of the second latch 1212 facing the first latch 1211. At least a portion of the mounting portion 21 is received in the first groove 12111, at least a portion of the mounting portion 21 is received in the second groove 12121, and the mounting portion 21 can slide along the first groove 12111 and the second groove 12121 to adjust the distance between the limiting portion 22 and the fixing portion 11.

[0050] In some embodiments, the reinforcement device 100 may further include a buffer 7. The buffer 7 is disposed on the surface of the limiting portion 22 facing the fixing portion 11. The buffer 7 is used to form a buffer between the device to be reinforced 200 and the limiting portion 22, thereby protecting the device to be reinforced 200.

[0051] In some embodiments, the reinforcement device 100 may further include a screw 8. The fixing part 11 is provided with a mounting hole 112, and the screw 8 passes through the mounting hole 112 and is screwed onto the device having a connection port 401, thereby achieving the fixing between the reinforcement device 100 and the device having the connection port 401.

[0052] In some embodiments, there are multiple screws 8, and the fixing part 11 is provided with multiple mounting holes 112. After a screw 8 passes through a mounting hole 112, it is screwed onto the device having a connection port 401, thereby improving the stability of the fixation between the reinforcement device 100 and the device having the connection port 401.

[0053] In some embodiments, the fastener 1 includes a connecting portion 13, one end of which is connected to the support portion 12, and the connecting portion 13 is located at one end of the support portion 12 along the second direction Y. The connecting portion 13 is used to fix to the housing 300 of the electronic device, thereby fixing the device 200 to be reinforced to the housing 300 of the electronic device.

[0054] Furthermore, the reinforcement device 100 may also include a fastener 9, and the connecting part 13 is provided with a connecting through hole 131. The fastener 9 passes through the connecting through hole 131 and is screwed onto the housing 300 of the electronic device to fix the reinforcement device 100 to the housing 300 of the electronic device.

[0055] In some embodiments, the fixing part 11, the bearing part 12 and the connecting part 13 are integrally formed, thereby improving the structural strength of the fixing member 1.

[0056] In this embodiment, by fixing the fixing part 11 of the fastener 1 to the device having the connection port 401, and providing an avoidance through hole 111 in the fixing part 11, the device to be reinforced 200 is prevented from being inserted into the connection port 401. By providing the mounting part 21 of the limiting member 2 to the bearing part 12 of the fastener 1, and the limiting part 22 of the limiting member 2 to be opposite to the fixing part 11, the limiting part 22 can restrict the movement of the device to be reinforced 200, thereby reducing the risk of the device to be reinforced 200 dislodging from the connection port 401.

[0057] This application also provides an embodiment of an electronic device, which includes the aforementioned reinforcement device 100. For the specific structure and function of the reinforcement device 100, please refer to the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0058] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The electronic device includes a housing 300 and a data cable 400 with a connection port 401. The connecting part 13 of the reinforcement device 100 is fixed to the housing 300 by a fastener 9. The screw 8 passes through the mounting hole 112 of the fixing part 11 and is screwed to the end of the data cable 400, thereby fixing the data cable 400 to the reinforcement device 100.
