Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of electronic equipment technology, and in particular to an electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] For convenient charging or data transfer, some electronic devices have built-in cables. These cables typically extend from inside the device through an opening in the casing. During use, these cables are prone to breakage at their connection points with the device casing due to being pulled and dragged.

[0003] To avoid the aforementioned breakage, related technologies have incorporated cable harness brackets and fasteners at the cable exit points within the equipment.

[0004] However, the aforementioned wiring harness brackets and fasteners significantly increase the number of parts in the equipment, making the assembly process more complex. Utility Model Content

[0065] The accompanying drawings have illustrated specific embodiments of this disclosure, which will be described in more detail below. These drawings and descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept in any way, but rather to illustrate the concepts of this disclosure to those skilled in the art through reference to particular embodiments. Detailed Implementation

[0066] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this disclosure. Based on the embodiments of this disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0067] The directional terms used in the embodiments of this disclosure, such as "up," "down," and "side," are generally based on the orientation shown in the figures or the relative orientation between structures when the electronic device is typically arranged. These directional terms are used merely to more clearly describe the relationships between structures, not to describe absolute orientation. The orientation may change when the electronic device is placed in different postures; for example, "up" and "down" may be interchanged.

[0068] Unless otherwise defined, all technical terms used in the embodiments of this disclosure have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art.

[0069] To make the technical solutions and advantages of this disclosure clearer, the embodiments of this disclosure will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0070] refer to Figure 1-18 This disclosure provides an electronic device.

[0071] refer to Figure 1-2 The electronic device includes a housing 10, a cable 11, and a device support 12;

[0072] The housing 10 has a first opening 101;

[0073] The device support 12 is located inside the housing 10, and the device support 12 is used to support the functional device;

[0074] The cable 11 extends from the housing 10 through the first opening 101. The cable 11 has a first positioning structure 111, which is fixedly connected to the device support 12.

[0075] This disclosure provides an electronic device with a built-in cable. The cable extends from a first opening in the device's housing, thus enabling initial positioning and routing of the cable. The cable also has a first positioning structure, which is fixedly connected to a device bracket inside the housing, providing stable fixation of the portion of the cable within the housing. In other words, the device bracket serves both to support the functional device and to secure the cable, achieving reuse of the bracket and avoiding the need for additional cable harness supports or fasteners inside the device. This results in fewer internal components, simpler assembly, and fewer assembly steps for the electronic device.

[0076] It should be noted that the attached drawings only show part of the shell structure. The shell can actually be assembled from multiple parts. In this disclosure, part of the shell structure has been omitted for the convenience of showing the internal structure of the device.

[0077] In some embodiments, reference Figure 2-5 The first positioning structure 111 includes a first positioning part 1111 and a second positioning part 1112;

[0078] The first positioning part 1111 cooperates with the first opening 101;

[0079] The second positioning part 1112 has a first snap-fit ​​structure 11121, and the device bracket 12 has a second snap-fit ​​structure 121. The first snap-fit ​​structure 11121 and the second snap-fit ​​structure 121 are snap-fitted and fixed together.

[0080] In this embodiment, the first positioning structure of the cable is divided into at least two parts. The first positioning part cooperates with the first opening to achieve the first-level positioning of the cable; the second positioning part is fixed to the device bracket by means of a snap-fit ​​structure to achieve the second-level positioning of the cable. In this way, the cable is stably fixed to the housing and the device bracket by means of the first positioning structure, which can effectively reduce the damage to the cable caused by external pulling force.

[0081] It should be noted that this embodiment provides a snap-fit ​​fixing method. In other embodiments, other fixing connection methods, such as adhesive or mechanical connection, can be selected as needed.

[0082] Optionally, the first positioning part 1111 can be fitted with the first opening 101 through a transition fit or an interference fit. In this way, when the cable is pulled, the first positioning part can contact, abut, or press against the side wall of the first opening, transferring stress to the housing and reducing the probability of cable damage.

[0083] Optional, see reference Figure 4-5 8, 10-12, one of the first snap-fit ​​structure 11121 and the second snap-fit ​​structure 121 is a slot, and the other of the first snap-fit ​​structure 11121 and the second snap-fit ​​structure 121 is a protrusion.

[0084] Based on the above setup, a reliable snap-fit ​​effect can be achieved using a simple structure. The combination of the slot and the protrusion here is merely an example; the design can be adjusted according to requirements or space constraints, as long as the first and second snap-fit ​​structures can be snapped together. For example, the slot can be a strip-shaped groove locally formed on the structure, or an annular groove surrounding the structure; the protrusion can be a protrusion, strip, or ring locally formed on the structure (e.g., Figure 5 , 8 As shown in Figures 10-11, the first snap-fit ​​structure 11121 includes an annular groove or a strip groove, and the second snap-fit ​​structure 121 is a convex strip, etc.

[0085] In some embodiments, reference Figure 6-7 In addition to 9, the device also has a support structure 103, which supports the second positioning part 1112, such that the side of the second positioning part 1112 away from the support structure 103 abuts against the device bracket 12.

[0086] In this embodiment, by providing a support structure, the second positioning part can be supported by the support structure, allowing the second positioning part to abut against the device support, thereby improving the stability of the fixation between the housing, the second positioning part, and the device support. This is equivalent to... Figure 7 In the coordinate system shown, the second positioning part is fixed along the z-axis to ensure it cannot move in that direction, thus improving the stability and reliability of the cable inside the device housing. Simultaneously, by designing the support height of this support structure, the second positioning part can be fixed at the desired height, ensuring the cable extends from the first opening at the required angle.

[0087] Optional, see reference Figure 6-79. The support structure 103 is located on an inner wall surface 102 of the housing 10. This allows the support structure to be located inside the device, achieving "invisibility" and improving the device's aesthetic appearance. In some embodiments, the support structure 103 can be integrally formed with an inner wall surface 102 of the housing 10.

[0088] In some embodiments, reference Figure 6-7 In addition to 10-12, the support structure 103 has a first limiting structure 1031, and the second positioning part 1112 has a second limiting structure 11122. The first limiting structure 1031 and the second limiting structure 11122 cooperate, and the first snap-fit ​​structure 11121 and the second snap-fit ​​structure 121 cooperate to restrict the movement of the second positioning part 1112 parallel to the inner wall surface 102.

[0089] In this embodiment, by means of the cooperation between the first limiting structure on the support structure and the second limiting structure of the second positioning part, as well as the cooperation between the first snap-fit ​​structure and the second snap-fit ​​structure, the movement of the second positioning part parallel to the inner wall surface is restricted, that is, the movement of the second positioning part is restricted. Figure 7 The movement within the xy plane of the coordinate system shown ensures that the cable is more reliably fixed, thereby increasing the cable's service life.

[0090] Optional, see reference Figure 7 One of the first limiting structure 1031 and the second limiting structure 11122 is a recessed structure, and the other of the first limiting structure 1031 and the second limiting structure 11122 is a protruding structure. By means of the cooperation between the recessed structure and the protruding structure, it can be reliably ensured that the second positioning part cannot move relative to the supporting structure in the xy plane.

[0091] Optional, see reference Figure 6-7 The first limiting structure 1031 and the second limiting structure 11122 each have a matching arc-shaped surface structure. The arc-shaped surface structure better restricts the movement of the second positioning part in the x-axis and y-axis directions, and improves the fit between the second positioning part and the support structure, thereby enhancing the limiting effect of the support structure on the second positioning part. Simultaneously, the arc-shaped surface structure also improves the ease of cable installation and increases the assembly efficiency of the equipment.

[0092] Optional, see reference Figure 8-12 The support structure 103 has a third limiting structure 1032, which cooperates with the second snap-fit ​​structure 121 to limit the movement of the device bracket 12 parallel to the inner wall surface 102.

[0093] Based on the above configuration, a reusable support structure is used to restrict the movement of the device support parallel to the inner wall surface, i.e., to restrict the device support's movement. Figure 7The motion is within the xy plane of the coordinate system shown. This allows the device support and the first positioning structure to be more stably fixed inside the housing, preventing them from shaking.

[0094] Optional, see reference Figure 8-12 One of the third limiting structure 1032 and the second snap-fit ​​structure 121 is a recessed structure, and the other of the third limiting structure 1032 and the second snap-fit ​​structure 121 is a protruding structure.

[0095] Here, the combination of recessed and protruding structures is still used to limit the positioning between the support structure and the device bracket. However, those skilled in the art can choose more structures with similar effects as needed. Furthermore, recessed and protruding structures are relative concepts; the sidewall of a recessed structure can itself be considered a protruding structure, and two adjacent protruding structures can constitute a recessed structure. Therefore, the grooves and protrusions, recessed and protruding structures involved in this disclosure are actually relative descriptions, and in practice, they can correspond to a variety of specific implementations, and are not limited to those shown in the drawings or described in the text.

[0096] In some embodiments, reference Figure 6 , 10 13 and 14, the housing 10 also has a first locking structure 104, and the device support 12 also has a second locking structure 122. The first locking structure 104 and the second locking structure 122 cooperate to restrict the device support 12 from detaching from the housing 10.

[0097] In this embodiment, the cooperation between the first and second locking structures ensures that the device bracket will not detach from the housing, thereby ensuring the installation stability of the functional components inside the device. Simultaneously, the fact that the device bracket is not easily detached further improves the fixing effect of the first positioning structure on the cable.

[0098] Optional, see reference Figure 13-14 One of the first locking structure 104 and the second locking structure 122 is a groove, and the other of the first locking structure 104 and the second locking structure 122 is a protrusion; or, both the first locking structure 104 and the second locking structure 122 are protrusions.

[0099] When the locking mechanism utilizes the interaction of a groove and a protrusion, if the protrusion slides into the groove, the two locking structures engage; if the protrusion slides out of the groove, the two locking structures disengage. When both locking structures are protrusions, the first locking structure must be positioned along the movement path of the second locking structure during the device bracket's detachment from the housing. This way, when the device bracket tends to detach from the housing, the first locking structure can block the second locking structure, thereby preventing the device bracket from detaching from the housing. Figure 14-15 The examples shown are all of this type.

[0100] Optional, see reference Figure 13-14 The number of first card slot structure 104 and second card slot structure 122 is one or more, and the first card slot structure 104 and the second card slot structure 122 correspond one-to-one.

[0101] By using multiple sets of locking structures, the limiting effect of the device bracket in the y-axis direction can be further improved, the stability of the functional devices carried on the device bracket can be improved, and the fixing effect of the device bracket on the second positioning part can be improved.

[0102] Optional, see reference Figure 6 The first opening 101 is located on the first inner wall 105 of the housing 10, and at least one first locking structure 104 is located on the first inner wall 105; and / or,

[0103] The housing 10 has a second inner sidewall 106, which intersects with the first inner sidewall 105, and at least one first locking structure 104 is located on the second inner sidewall 106.

[0104] Based on the above settings, it can be ensured that at least two first locking structures are located near or on both sides of the cable's fixed position. In this way, the device bracket can be more effectively fixed with the help of the first locking structures, while the device bracket can press tightly against the second positioning part, further improving the fixing effect of the first positioning structure.

[0105] In some embodiments, reference Figure 7-8 The second positioning part 1112 has a relief surface 11123 that is recessed in a direction away from the center of the device support 12.

[0106] By setting this clearance surface, more space can be provided inside the equipment for arranging component supports, thereby allowing for greater internal space to accommodate functional components and improving the equipment's functional flexibility and versatility. On the other hand, it can improve the efficiency of internal space utilization, which is beneficial for achieving miniaturization and thinner designs.

[0107] In some embodiments, the hardness of the second positioning portion 1112 is higher than that of the first positioning portion 1111; and / or,

[0108] The Shore hardness of the second positioning part 1112 is in the range of 80-90 degrees, and the Shore hardness of the first positioning part 1111 is in the range of 35-45 degrees.

[0109] In this embodiment, the first positioning part, which mates with the first opening, has a lower hardness, thus better dispersing the stress caused by external tension when the first positioning part contacts the first opening. The second positioning part has a higher hardness, which can better protect the cable and improve the stability of the cable inside the housing.

[0110] Optionally, the first positioning part 1111 is prepared using one or more of polypropylene, polyethylene, thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer, and rubber (TPU); and / or, the second positioning part 1112 is prepared using one or more of polystyrene, ABS plastic, AS resin, and thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer (TPU). ABS plastic refers to a terpolymer of acrylonitrile (A), butadiene (B), and styrene (S), and AS resin is a styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer. In other words, the first positioning part can be a soft rubber, and the second positioning part can be a hard rubber.

[0111] Optionally, thermoplastic polyurethane elastomers of different hardness can be used to form the connected first and second positioning parts using a two-shot process.

[0112] In some embodiments, reference Figure 6-8 Both the first opening 101 and the first positioning part 1111 are elongated; and / or, the size of the second positioning part 1112 is greater than or equal to the size of the first opening 101.

[0113] The elongated shape design ensures that once the first positioning part is fitted into the first opening, even if the cable is pulled by external force, the cable as a whole cannot rotate or move up and down relative to the first opening, thus preventing the cable from spinning and reducing the risk of breakage of the internal metal wires. This elongated shape can be rectangular, oval, or kidney-shaped, among other forms. Furthermore, by setting the size of the second positioning part to be greater than or equal to the size of the first opening, it ensures that the second positioning part cannot enter the first opening. Therefore, even if the cable is pulled, it cannot be pulled out of the first opening, ensuring a longer cable lifespan.

[0114] Optionally, the dimensions of the first positioning part 1111 and the first opening 101 can be substantially equal to achieve a better fit.

[0115] In some embodiments, reference Figure 15 The device also includes a wire harness storage structure 13 independent of the housing 10. The wire harness storage structure 13 is mounted on the cable 11, and the free end 112 of the cable 11 is detachably mounted on the wire harness storage structure 13.

[0116] In this embodiment, when the cable is needed, it can be removed from the cable harness storage structure; when the cable is not needed, the free end of the cable can be installed in the cable harness storage structure to store the free end and improve the external aesthetics of the device.

[0117] Optional, see reference Figure 16-18 The wire harness storage structure 13 has a storage groove 131, the first end 1312 of the storage groove 131 has a fourth limiting structure 1311, and the free end 112 has a second positioning structure 1121.

[0118] When the free end 112 is installed on the wire harness storage structure 13, the fourth limiting structure 1311 and the second positioning structure 1121 cooperate to restrict the free end 112 from coming out of the first end 1312.

[0119] The second end 1313 of the storage slot 131 is open, and the second end 1313 and the first end 1312 are the two opposite ends of the storage slot 131.

[0120] Based on the above design, when the free end of the cable is installed in the cable harness storage structure, it can be automatically locked by the fourth limiting structure and cannot come out from the first end of the storage slot, improving the storage effect. At the same time, the cable itself can form a pull ring, making it easy for users to carry the electronic device. When the cable is needed, the free end of the cable can be taken out from the opening at the second end of the storage slot.

[0121] Optional, see reference Figure 16-18 The fourth limiting structure 1311 includes a second step structure 13111 and a gripping structure 13112. The second step structure 13111 protrudes into the groove from at least one of the inner side wall and the inner bottom wall of the storage groove 131. The gripping structure 13112 is located in the storage groove 131 on the side away from the inner bottom wall and protrudes into the groove from the inner side wall.

[0122] The second positioning structure 1121 includes a third positioning part 11211 and a fourth positioning part 11212 connected together. The fourth positioning part 11212 is larger than the third positioning part 11211 so as to form a first step structure 11213 with the third positioning part 11211.

[0123] When the free end 112 is installed on the wire harness storage structure 13, the holding structure 13112 holds the third positioning part 11211 to prevent the third positioning part 11211 from disengaging from the holding structure 13112, and the first step structure 11213 abuts against the step surface of the second step structure 13111.

[0124] Based on the above configuration, the first and second step structures work together to ensure that the free end cannot move in the direction from the second end to the first end, while the gripping structure restricts the free end's movement in the direction from the bottom of the storage groove to the opening side. This ensures that the free end cannot detach from the first end. Furthermore, since the cable harness storage structure is mounted on the cable, and the end of the cable away from the free end is fixed inside the device housing (using structures such as the aforementioned device bracket), when the free end is mounted on the cable harness storage structure, if the user pulls the cable to form a loop, the entire device will pull the cable, causing the free end to tend to move in the direction from the second end to the first end, thus achieving automatic locking of the free end and effectively preventing the loop from breaking or malfunctioning.

[0125] Optional, see reference Figure 16-18 The cable 11 has a wire harness segment 113, and the third positioning part 11211 is connected to the wire harness segment 113 on the side away from the fourth positioning part 11212. The wire harness storage structure 13 is installed on the wire harness segment 113.

[0126] The grip structure 13112 has a second opening 131121 located on the opening side of the storage slot 131, and the size of the wire harness segment 113 is smaller than the second opening 131121.

[0127] Based on the above configuration, it can be ensured that when the cable is needed, the third positioning part can be disengaged from the holding structure by pushing the free end of the cable in the direction from the first end to the second end, and the cable harness segment can be inserted into the holding structure. The user can then pull the cable harness segment to remove it from the holding structure through the second opening, thus removing the free end and the connected cable harness segment as a whole from the storage slot of the cable harness storage structure. This allows users to use the cable more flexibly.

[0128] It should be noted that the electronic devices disclosed herein refer to various devices with chips, such as power banks, chargers, televisions, electric kettles, mice, etc.

[0129] In summary, the electronic device provided by this disclosure has a simpler structure, fewer components, a simpler assembly process, and lower mold and assembly costs. Simultaneously, it ensures that the device's built-in cable will not be damaged by dragging during use, improving cable stability and ensuring the normal and safe use of the cable's functions. Furthermore, the use of a combination of soft and hard adhesives to form the cable's primary positioning structure, with the soft adhesive protecting the cable while the high strength of the hard adhesive ensures the cable's reliability and performance stability.
