Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of computer technology, and specifically to a power button structure for a box mini host. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most box mini PCs fix their power buttons by melting the elastic arm of the power button onto the inner wall of the PC casing using a heat-fusion method. If a heat-fusion method is used, a heat-fusion fixture is required, which makes the installation process cumbersome, time-consuming, and reduces production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a power button structure for a mini box host, which facilitates the installation and fixation of the elastic support arm and saves time.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A power button structure for a mini PC includes a housing and a power button. The housing has a button hole and a slot on its inner wall, located next to the button hole. The power button includes a button part and a flexible support arm. The button part is embedded in the button hole and can move into the housing under external force. The flexible support arm is located inside the housing, with one end connected to the button part and the other end inserted into the slot. The flexible support arm can elastically push the button part back into the button hole, and the slot can restrict the movement of the end of the flexible support arm located in the slot with the button part.

[0006] Furthermore, the button hole is opened on the front side wall of the housing, and the slot is located on the inner side of the front side wall of the housing. The button part is disc-shaped and can move backward under the action of external force. There are multiple elastic arms, one end of which is connected to the side wall of the button part, and the other end extends along the inner side of the front wall of the housing in a direction away from the button part. There are multiple slots, and the multiple slots are respectively for the extension ends of the multiple elastic arms to be inserted into them. The multiple slots can respectively restrict the extension ends of the multiple elastic arms from moving backward.

[0007] Furthermore, there are four elastic arms and four card slots. The four elastic arms are a first elastic arm, a second elastic arm, a third elastic arm, and a fourth elastic arm. The first and second elastic arms are located on the right side of the button, with the first elastic arm extending to the upper right of the button and the second elastic arm extending to the lower right of the button. The third and fourth elastic arms are located on the left side of the button, with the third elastic arm extending to the upper left of the button and the fourth elastic arm extending to the lower left of the button.

[0008] Furthermore, the first elastic arm, the second elastic arm, the third elastic arm, and the fourth elastic arm bend during the extension process.

[0009] Furthermore, the four slots are respectively a first limiting space, a first clamping slot, a second limiting space, and a second clamping slot. The first limiting space is used for the first elastic support arm to extend into, the first clamping slot is used for the second elastic support arm to extend into, the second limiting space is used for the third elastic support arm to extend into, and the second clamping slot is used for the fourth elastic support arm to extend into.

[0010] Furthermore, a first protrusion is provided on the inner side of the top wall of the housing, the first protrusion is located on the upper right of the button part, and there is a first gap between the first protrusion and the inner side of the front wall of the housing. The first gap is the first limiting space. When the extended end of the first elastic support arm extends into the first gap, the first protrusion abuts against the rear side of the extended end of the first elastic support arm.

[0011] A first plate protrudes rearward from the inner side of the front wall of the housing. The first plate is located on the right side of the button part. The lower end of the first plate extends to the lower right of the button part. The front side of the lower end of the first plate is concave to form the first clamping groove. The extension end of the second elastic support arm expands rearward to interfere with the first clamping groove, so that the extension end of the second elastic support arm is fixed in the first clamping groove.

[0012] A second protrusion is provided on the inner side of the top wall of the housing, and the second protrusion is located on the upper left of the button part. There is a second gap between the second protrusion and the inner side of the front wall of the housing. The second gap is the second limiting space. When the extension end of the third elastic support arm extends into the second gap, the second ground abuts against the rear side of the extension end of the third elastic support arm.

[0013] A second plate protrudes rearward from the inner side of the front wall of the housing. The second plate is located on the left side of the button part. The lower end of the second plate extends to the lower left of the button part. The front side of the lower end of the second plate is concave to form the second clamping groove. The extension end of the fourth elastic support arm expands rearward to interfere with the second clamping groove, so that the extension end of the fourth elastic support arm is fixed in the second clamping groove.

[0014] Furthermore, a first limiting plate and a second limiting plate are provided on the inner side of the front wall of the housing, protruding backward. The first limiting plate is located on the upper right of the button part and abuts against the left side of the extended end of the first elastic support arm. The second limiting plate is located on the upper left of the button part and abuts against the right side of the extended end of the third elastic support arm.

[0015] Furthermore, the upper end of the first plate extends to the upper right of the button portion, located on the right side of the extended end of the first elastic support arm, and the upper end of the second plate extends to the upper left of the button portion, located on the left side of the extended end of the third elastic support arm.

[0016] Furthermore, the first limiting space is located on the left side of the first plate, the second limiting space is located on the right side of the second plate, the projected length of the first elastic arm in the left-right direction is less than the projected length of the second elastic arm in the left-right direction, and the projected length of the third elastic arm in the left-right direction is less than the projected length of the fourth elastic arm in the left-right direction.

[0017] After adopting the above solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0018] The button part of this utility model is embedded in the button hole, which restricts the movement of the button part along the shell. One end of the elastic support arm extends into the slot, which restricts the movement of the elastic support arm with the button part. When the button part is pressed into the shell under the action of external force, the elastic support arm elastically pushes the button part back into the button hole. Therefore, when the elastic support arm of this utility model is installed and fixed to the inner wall of the main body shell, it is only necessary to extend one end of the elastic support arm into the slot, so that the slot prevents the elastic support arm from moving with the button part. The operation is relatively simple, saves time, and improves production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, this embodiment provides a power button 20 structure for a box mini host 1, including a housing 10 and a power button 20. The housing 10 has a button hole 11 and a slot 12 on the inner wall of the housing 10. The slot 12 is located next to the button hole 11. The power button 20 includes a button part 21 and an elastic support arm 22. The button part 21 is embedded in the button hole 11 and can move into the housing 10 under the action of external force. The elastic support arm 22 is located in the housing 10. One end of the elastic support arm 22 is connected to the button part 21, and the other end is inserted into the slot 12. The elastic support arm 22 can elastically push the button part 21 back into the button hole 11. The slot 12 can restrict the movement of the end of the elastic support arm 22 located in the slot 12 with the button part 21.

[0027] Preferred, such as Figure 1 As shown, the button hole 11 is formed on the front side wall of the housing 10, and the slot 12 is provided on the inner side of the front side wall of the housing 10. The button part 21 is disc-shaped and can move backward under the action of external force. There are multiple elastic support arms 22, one end of which is connected to the side wall of the button part 21, and the other end extends along the inner side of the front wall of the housing 10 in a direction away from the button part 21. There are multiple slots 12, and the multiple slots 12 are respectively used to lock the extended ends of multiple elastic support arms 22. The multiple slots 12 can respectively restrict the multiple elastic support arms 22. The extended end moves backward, which means that multiple elastic arms 22 can increase the effect of the button part 21 rebounding and re-embedding into the button hole 11. In addition, multiple elastic arms 22 can jointly bear the external force on the button part 21, making the elastic arms 22 less prone to breakage, thereby making the power button 20 more durable and extending its service life. Specifically, the side wall of the elastic arm 22 and the button part 21 are integrally formed to increase the strength of the elastic arm 22 and make it less prone to breakage from the button part 21.

[0028] Specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, both the elastic support arm 22 and the slot 12 have four elastic support arms 22. The four elastic support arms 22 are the first elastic support arm 221, the second elastic support arm 222, the third elastic support arm 223, and the fourth elastic support arm 224. The first elastic support arm 221 and the second elastic support arm 222 are located on the right side of the button part 21. The first elastic support arm 221 extends to the upper right of the button part 21, and the second elastic support arm 222 extends to the lower right of the button part 21. The third elastic support arm 223 and the fourth elastic support arm 224 are located on the left side of the button part 21. The third elastic support arm 223 extends to the upper left of the button part 21, and the fourth elastic support arm 224 extends to the lower left of the button part 21.

[0029] Furthermore, the first elastic support arm 221, the second elastic support arm 222, the third elastic support arm 223, and the fourth elastic support arm 224 bend during the extension process. It can be understood that bending the elastic support arm 22 during the extension process can increase the elastic force of the elastic support arm 22 rebounding the button part 21, and the more bends, the greater the elastic force of the rebounding button part 21. In this utility model, the first elastic support arm 221, the second elastic support arm 222, the third elastic support arm 223, and the fourth elastic support arm 224 are all bent twice. Specifically, the first elastic support arm 221 first extends to the upper right, then bends upward and extends, and then bends to the right; the second elastic support arm 222 first extends to the lower right, then bends downward and extends, and then bends to the right; the third elastic support arm 223 first extends to the upper left, then bends upward and extends, and then bends to the left; the fourth elastic support arm 224 first extends to the lower left, then bends downward and extends, and then bends to the left.

[0030] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the four slots 12 are respectively the first limiting space 121, the first clamping slot 123, the second limiting space 122, and the second clamping slot 124. The first limiting space 121 is used for the first elastic support arm 221 to extend into, the first clamping slot 123 is used for the second elastic support arm 222 to extend into, the second limiting space 122 is used for the third elastic support arm 223 to extend into, and the second clamping slot 124 is used for the fourth elastic support arm 224 to extend into. Specifically, the first limiting space 121 is located at the upper right of the button part 21, the first clamping slot 123 is located at the lower right of the button part 21, the second limiting space 122 is located at the upper left of the button part 21, and the second clamping slot 124 is located at the lower left of the button part 21.

[0031] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, a first protrusion 13 is provided on the inner side of the top wall of the housing 10. The first protrusion 13 is located on the upper right side of the button part 21. There is a first gap between the first protrusion 13 and the inner side of the front wall of the housing 10. The first gap is the first limiting space 121. When the extended end of the first elastic support arm 221 is inserted into the first gap, the first protrusion 13 abuts against the rear side of the extended end of the first elastic support arm 221.

[0032] A first plate 15 protrudes rearward from the inner side of the front wall of the housing 10. The first plate 15 is located on the right side of the button part 21. The lower end of the first plate 15 extends to the lower right side of the button part 21. The front side of the lower end of the first plate 15 is concave to form the first clamping groove 123. The extended end of the second elastic support arm 222 expands rearward to fit with the first clamping groove 123, so that the extended end of the second elastic support arm 222 is fixed in the first clamping groove 123.

[0033] A second protrusion 14 is provided on the inner side of the top wall of the housing 10. The second protrusion 14 is located on the upper left of the button part 21. There is a second gap between the second protrusion 14 and the inner side of the front wall of the housing 10. The second gap is the second limiting space 122. When the extension end of the third elastic support arm 223 is inserted into the second gap, the second ground abuts against the rear side of the extension end of the third elastic support arm 223.

[0034] A second plate 16 protrudes rearward from the inner side of the front wall of the housing 10. The second plate 16 is located on the left side of the button part 21. The lower end of the second plate 16 extends to the lower left of the button part 21. The lower front side of the lower end of the second plate 16 is recessed to form the second clamping groove 124. The extended end of the fourth elastic support arm 224 expands rearward to interfere with the second clamping groove 124, so that the extended end of the fourth elastic support arm 224 is fixed in the second clamping groove 124.

[0035] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, a first limiting plate 17 and a second limiting plate 18 are provided on the inner side of the front wall of the housing 10. The first limiting plate 17 is located on the upper right of the button part 21 and abuts against the left side of the extension end of the first elastic support arm 221. The first limiting plate 17 is used to restrict the first elastic support arm 221 from moving to the left and prevent the extension end of the first elastic support arm 221 from leaving the first limiting space 121. The second limiting plate 18 is located on the upper left of the button part 21 and abuts against the right side of the extension end of the third elastic support arm 223. The second limiting plate 18 is used to restrict the third elastic support arm 223 from moving to the right and prevent the extension end of the third elastic support arm 223 from leaving the second limiting space 122.

[0036] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the upper end of the first plate 15 extends to the upper right of the button portion 21, located to the right of the extended end of the first elastic support arm 221. The upper end of the first plate 15 can restrict the extended end of the first elastic support arm 221 from excessively shifting to the right, preventing the extended end of the first elastic support arm 221 from leaving the first limiting space 121. The upper end of the second plate 16 extends to the upper left of the button portion 21, located to the left of the extended end of the third elastic support arm 223. The upper end of the second plate 16 can restrict the extended end of the third elastic support arm 223 from excessively shifting to the left, preventing the extended end of the third elastic support arm 223 from leaving the second limiting space 122.

[0037] Furthermore, the first limiting space 121 is located on the left side of the first plate 15, the second limiting space 122 is located on the right side of the second plate 16, the projected length of the first elastic support arm 221 in the left-right direction is less than the projected length of the second elastic support arm 222 in the left-right direction, and the projected length of the third elastic support arm 223 in the left-right direction is less than the projected length of the fourth elastic support arm 224 in the left-right direction. Specifically, since the first limiting space 121 and the second limiting space 122 are located above the first clamping groove 123 and the second clamping groove 124 respectively, the projected length of the first elastic support arm 221 in the left-right direction is less than the projected length of the fourth elastic support arm 224. The projected lengths of the second elastic support arm 222 and the third elastic support arm 223 in the left-right direction are smaller than the projected lengths of the fourth elastic support arm 224 in the left-right direction. This allows the first elastic support arm 221 and the third elastic support arm 223 to move from bottom to top, avoiding the first plate 15 and the second plate 16 respectively, and then inserting into the first limiting space 121 and the second limiting space 122 respectively. At the same time, when the first elastic support arm 221 and the third elastic support arm 223 are inserted into the position, the second elastic support arm 222 and the fourth elastic support arm 224 are also inserted into the first clamping groove 123 and the second clamping groove 124.

[0038] The directional terms used in this specification are defined relative to the structures shown in the accompanying drawings. They are relative concepts and may therefore vary depending on their location and usage. Therefore, these or other directional terms should not be interpreted as restrictive.

[0039] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the design of this case. All equivalent changes made based on the key design of this case shall fall within the protection scope of this case.
