Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of electronic device technology, and more particularly to a foot pad structure and electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the feet on the D-component of laptops are fixed in place by heat welding. If these feet are damaged during daily use, users cannot replace them themselves and must go to a service center. Service centers typically replace the entire D-component along with the feet to replace the new ones, which is wasteful of resources and time-consuming and labor-intensive due to the need to disassemble the entire D-component. Therefore, it is necessary to design a foot that can be easily removed from the laptop's D-component. Utility Model Content

[0003] This disclosure provides a foot pad structure and electronic device to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art.

[0052] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of this disclosure more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this disclosure, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this disclosure without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0053] Currently, laptop feet are fixed to component D via heat fusion. When the feet are damaged, the entire component D needs to be replaced, increasing production costs. Therefore, this application designs three different foot structures to meet the needs of different laptops.

[0054] Specifically, in the first aspect, the present invention provides a foot pad structure 1, which is applied to an electronic device. The electronic device includes a first housing 2, wherein the foot pad structure 1 includes a support member 11 that contacts a support surface and a mounting assembly 12 that is connected to the support member; the mounting assembly 12 of the foot pad structure 1 is configured to be detachably connected to the first housing 2.

[0055] In this application, the mounting component 12 of the foot pad structure 1 is configured to be detachably connected to the first housing, so that when the foot pad structure 1 is damaged, it can be directly removed from the first housing 2 and a new foot pad structure can be replaced without replacing the first housing, which saves costs and improves the efficiency of disassembly and assembly of the foot pad structure.

[0056] In this application, the mounting assembly 12 of the foot pad structure is detachably connected to the first housing 2. Based on this, the following embodiments provide three different foot pad structures 1, all of which can achieve a detachable connection with the first housing 2.

[0057] Example 1 (First type of foot pad structure):

[0058] like Figure 1 , Figure 7-9As shown, a foot pad structure 1 is applied to an electronic device, which includes a first housing 2. The foot pad structure 1 includes a support member 11 that contacts a support surface and a mounting assembly 12 connected to the support member 11. The mounting assembly 12 of the foot pad structure 1 is configured to be slidably mounted on the first housing 2. In this embodiment, by slidably connecting the mounting assembly to the first housing, the foot pad structure is easy to assemble and disassemble, thus improving assembly and disassembly efficiency.

[0059] In one of the alternative solutions, such as Figure 7 As shown, the mounting assembly 12 includes a first hook 121, and multiple first hooks 121 are provided. Multiple first hooks 121 are arranged at intervals on the support member 11, and the support member 11 extends along the first direction of the first housing 2.

[0060] Accordingly, such as Figure 5 As shown, the first housing 2 has a first mounting hole 21 for sliding installation of the first hook 121.

[0061] like Figure 10 As shown, in this application, the foot pad structure is assembled by sliding from the left side to the right side of the first housing 2. The edge of the first housing 2 is designed with crater-like openings, preventing the foot pad structure 1 from being positioned at the very edge. Therefore, at the very beginning of the sliding assembly, all the first hooks 121 on the foot pad structure need to be inserted into the first mounting holes 21 of the first housing for sliding assembly until the assembly is complete. Figure 1 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of the foot pad structure after it has been assembled with the first housing.

[0062] like Figure 5-6 As shown, a first mounting hole 21 is provided on the first housing at the position corresponding to each first hook 121, and a first hook 121 is provided in each first mounting hole 21.

[0063] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first direction is Figure 1 The X direction is shown in the diagram. The support member 11 spans the length direction of the first housing 2.

[0064] like Figure 8 As shown, the first hook 121 has an inverted L-shaped structure. The first hook 121 has a first hook surface 1211 and a second hook surface 1212. The first hook surface 1211 is an inclined surface. When the mounting assembly 12 of the foot pad structure 1 is slidably installed on the first mounting hole 21 of the first housing, there is zero gap between the first end of the first hook surface 1211 of the first hook 121 and the inner surface 22 of the first housing 2, and the first hook surface 1211 does not exert any pressing force on the inner surface 22 of the first housing along the second direction. Figure 2As shown; the second end of the first hook surface 1211 is located above the inner surface 22 of the first housing, with a certain gap between them. At this time, the second hook surface 1212 contacts the inner surface of the first mounting hole 21. Wherein, the second direction is... Figure 1 Y direction shown in .

[0065] The engagement amount between the first hook 121 and the first housing is approximately 4 mm.

[0066] In one of the alternative solutions, such as Figure 6-9 As shown, the mounting assembly 12 also includes a first limiting member 122, which is disposed on the support member 11;

[0067] Correspondingly, the first housing 2 is provided with a first limiting hole 23 that is adapted to the first limiting member 122. The first limiting hole 23 is used to limit the displacement of the first limiting member 122 in the first direction.

[0068] The foot pad structure 1 of this application mainly achieves sliding assembly between the foot pad structure 1 and the first housing 2 through the installation component 12 and the support component 11. Before the assembly begins, all the first hooks 121 and the first limiting components 122 are placed in the first mounting holes 21 and the first limiting holes 23 respectively, and then slid along the first direction from left to right until the first limiting component 122 is assembled in place.

[0069] For example, the first limiting member 122 is positioned near the sliding assembly starting position of the foot pad structure 1, such as... Figure 7 As shown, the first limiting member 122 is disposed on the left side surface of the support member 11 and is located outside the first hook member 121. For example, the first limiting member 122 is approximately 5.85 mm away from the edge of the foot pad structure 1. If the displacement of the foot pad structure is reduced (the displacement of the foot pad structure assembly is 3 to 5 mm), the distance between the first limiting member 122 and the edge of the foot pad structure can be further reduced.

[0070] For example, such as Figure 8 As shown, the first limiting member 122 is a T-shaped structure formed by connecting a first limiting part 1221 arranged in the vertical direction and a first connecting part 1222 arranged in the horizontal direction. The width of the first limiting part 1221 gradually decreases along the sliding installation direction of the foot pad structure, as shown. Figure 3 As shown. Correspondingly, as Figure 6 As shown, the first limiting hole 23 on the first housing is configured such that, along the sliding installation direction of the foot pad structure 1, the width of the first limiting hole 23 gradually decreases until it is smaller than the width of the first end of the first limiting portion 1221 of the adjacent first limiting member. The first limiting hole 23 is connected to the adjacent first mounting hole 21.

[0071] In this application, such as Figure 1As shown, the sliding assembly direction (i.e., the sliding installation direction) and the sliding disassembly direction are two opposite directions. The sliding assembly direction is the direction in which the foot pad structure slides from the left side to the right side of the first housing 2 along the first direction (X direction).

[0072] like Figure 3 , Figure 6 As shown, the first limiting hole 23 includes a first limiting hole segment 231, a second tapering hole segment 232, and a third limiting hole segment 233 connected sequentially along the sliding assembly direction. The width of the first limiting hole segment 231 is the same and greater than the width of the second tapering hole segment 232. The width of the second tapering hole segment 232 gradually decreases along the sliding assembly direction. The width of the third limiting hole segment 233 is the same and greater than the width of the first limiting part 1221. The width at the connection position between the second tapering hole segment 232 and the third limiting hole segment 233 is slightly smaller than the width of the left end of the first limiting part 1221 of the first limiting member.

[0073] In this application, the reason why the first limiting hole 23 on the first housing 2 is designed to gradually decrease in width along the sliding assembly direction of the foot pad structure is to create a sense of discontinuity when the foot pad structure is actually assembled in place, and to prevent the foot pad structure from easily being dislodged from the first housing when the user moves it. Figure 3 As shown, after the foot pad structure 1 and the first housing 2 are assembled, the left end of the first limiting part 1221 of the first limiting member 122 has a small overlap with the connection position of the second tapering hole section 232 and the third limiting hole section 233. This allows the user to remove the foot pad structure from the first housing with only a little force when the foot pad structure needs to be replaced. Furthermore, since the width of the first limiting part 1221 of the first limiting member is also gradually reduced along the sliding assembly direction of the foot pad structure, it is compatible with the first limiting hole 23 (especially the second tapering hole section 232). This prevents friction between the foot pad structure and the contact surface of the first limiting hole from causing difficulty in removal when the foot pad structure is slidably disassembled.

[0074] In an alternative embodiment, the support member 11 and the mounting assembly 12 (including the first hook and the first limiting member) are integrally molded. For example, the support member and the mounting assembly are made of plastic.

[0075] In one of the alternative solutions, such as Figure 9 As shown, the foot pad structure 1 also includes an anti-slip layer 13, which wraps around the outside of the support member 11. For example, the anti-slip layer 13 is made of TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer). The thickness of the TPU is approximately between 0.5 and 0.6 mm. By providing the anti-slip layer 13, the foot pad structure 1 of this application can extend its service life while preventing electronic devices (such as laptops) from sliding when placed on the support surface, thus facilitating user operation. Figure 4 As shown, after the foot pad structure 1 is assembled onto the first housing, the support and anti-slip layer protrude from the outer surface of the first housing. In daily use, the support and anti-slip layer are placed on the support surface, such as a tabletop.

[0076] Example 2 (Second type of foot pad structure):

[0077] like Figure 11-13 As shown, a foot pad structure 1 is applied to an electronic device. The electronic device includes a first housing 2. The foot pad structure 1 includes a support member 11 that contacts a support surface and a mounting assembly 12 connected to the support member 11. The mounting assembly 12 of the foot pad structure 1 is configured to snap-fit ​​onto the first housing 2. In this embodiment, by snap-fitting the mounting assembly to the first housing, the foot pad structure is easy to assemble and disassemble, thus improving assembly and disassembly efficiency.

[0078] In one of the alternative solutions, such as Figure 13 As shown, the mounting assembly 12 includes a second hook 123, which is disposed at intervals on the support member 11, and the support member 11 extends along the first direction of the first housing 2.

[0079] Accordingly, such as Figure 14 As shown, a second mounting hole 24 is provided on the first housing 2 corresponding to the position of the second hook 123, and the second hook 123 is snapped into the second mounting hole 24 of the first housing 2.

[0080] like Figure 13 As shown, the second hook 123 is provided in multiple sets, with each pair of second hooks 123 forming a group and the two second hooks 123 in each group being arranged opposite to each other. Each group of second hooks 123 is arranged on the support member 11 at intervals, and the support member 11 extends along the first direction of the first housing 2.

[0081] The first direction is Figure 11 The X direction shown, from Figure 11 , Figure 14 As can be seen, the support member 11 spans the length direction of the first shell 2.

[0082] For example, when the second hook is snapped into the second mounting hole of the first housing, such as Figure 12 As shown, the engagement amount between the second hook 123 and the first housing 2 is 0.3 to 0.6 mm.

[0083] For example, the height of the second hook 123 mounted on the support varies slightly along the first direction. This is because the reserved space inside the electronic device varies slightly along the first direction due to the influence of other hardware inside the electronic device. Therefore, the height of each set of second hooks varies slightly depending on the reserved space inside the electronic device. The height of the second hooks can be adjusted accordingly based on the specific situation.

[0084] In one of the alternative solutions, such as Figure 13 As shown, the mounting assembly 12 also includes a positioning element 124, which is disposed on the support element 11;

[0085] like Figure 14 As shown, a positioning hole 25 adapted to the positioning member 124 is provided on the first housing 2 at the position corresponding to the positioning member 124.

[0086] like Figure 13 As shown, the positioning element 124 is a cylindrical positioning post. There is zero gap between the positioning element 124 and the positioning hole 25, and the height of the positioning element 124 is slightly higher than that of the positioning hole 25. For example, the positioning element 124 is 0.4mm higher than the shortest second hook element and 0.05mm higher than the tallest second hook element.

[0087] In this embodiment, the foot pad structure 1 is assembled by first aligning the positioning post (positioning member 124) with the positioning hole 25 of the first housing, and then directly pressing the foot pad structure into the first housing so that the second hook member 123 can be engaged in the second mounting hole.

[0088] In one of the alternative solutions, such as Figure 13 As shown, the mounting assembly 12 also includes a second limiting member 125, which is disposed at intervals on the support member 11;

[0089] like Figure 14 As shown, correspondingly, the first housing 2 is also provided with a second limiting hole 26 adapted to the second limiting member 125. The second limiting hole 26 is used to limit the displacement of the second limiting member 125 in a second direction. The second direction is... Figure 11 Y direction shown.

[0090] In this embodiment, the support member 11 extends along the length of the first housing 2, resulting in a relatively large distance between the two ends of the entire foot pad structure 1. When the foot pad structure 1 is assembled, the foot pad structure farther from the positioning member 124 will have a gap along the second direction, allowing it to slide. Therefore, multiple second limiting members 125 are added to the support member, such as... Figure 13As shown, the second limiting member 125 is a cylindrical structure, and correspondingly, the second limiting hole 26 is an elliptical elongated hole. Thus, after the foot pad structure is assembled with the first housing, the second limiting member 125 can restrict the sliding of the foot pad structure at a position far from the positioning member 124 in the second direction, that is, the second limiting member 125 can only slide left and right in the second limiting hole 26 along the first direction.

[0091] Therefore, the foot pad structure 1 of this application mainly achieves the snap-fit ​​assembly connection between the foot pad structure and the first housing 2 through the installation components and support components. Before assembly, it is only necessary to insert the positioning component 124 into the positioning hole 25, and then apply force to snap the second hook component 123 of the installation component into the second mounting hole 24 of the first housing. At this time, the second limiting component 125 is inserted into the second limiting hole 26. The whole process is convenient for assembly, and when the foot pad structure needs to be replaced, the first housing 2 is disassembled first, and then it is only necessary to apply force to the second hook component to deform it slightly, so that it can be removed from the second mounting hole 24. The whole process of disassembly is also convenient, improving the assembly and disassembly efficiency.

[0092] For example, the support 11 and the mounting assembly 12 are made of plastic material, which makes it easy to deform the second hook 123 by applying force during assembly or disassembly.

[0093] In an alternative design, the second limiting member 125 and the positioning member 124 are not on the same straight line. In this example, the relative positions of the second limiting member 125 and the positioning member 124 are misaligned to avoid the problem of reverse assembly during assembly.

[0094] In one of the alternative solutions, such as Figure 13 As shown, the foot pad structure 1 also includes an anti-slip layer 13, which wraps around the outside of the support member 11. For example, the anti-slip layer 13 is made of TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer). The thickness of the TPU is approximately between 0.5 and 0.6 mm. By providing the anti-slip layer 13, the foot pad structure 1 of this application can extend its service life and prevent electronic devices (such as laptops) from sliding when placed on the support surface, thus facilitating user operation.

[0095] Example 3 (Third type of foot pad structure):

[0096] like Figure 15 As shown, a foot pad structure 1 is applied to an electronic device. The electronic device includes a first housing 2. The foot pad structure 1 includes a support member 11 that contacts a support surface and a mounting assembly 12 connected to the support member 11. The mounting assembly 12 of the foot pad structure 1 is configured to snap-fit ​​onto the first housing 2. This embodiment facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the foot pad structure by snap-fitting the mounting assembly to the first housing, thereby improving assembly and disassembly efficiency.

[0097] In one of the alternative solutions, such as Figure 17 As shown, the mounting assembly 12 includes a third hook 126, which is disposed on the support member 11.

[0098] Accordingly, such as Figure 18 As shown, a third mounting hole 27 is provided on the first housing 2 corresponding to the third hook 126, and the third hook 126 is snapped into the third mounting hole 27 of the first housing 2.

[0099] like Figure 15 As shown, the foot pad structure 1 has two parts, which are respectively located on the left and right sides of the first shell and are located away from the crater of the first shell.

[0100] In one of the alternative solutions, such as Figure 16 , Figure 17 As shown, the third hook 126 has an outwardly extending protrusion 1261. When the foot pad structure 1 is installed on the first housing 2, the protrusion 1261 presses against the third mounting hole 27.

[0101] like Figure 17 As shown, two third hooks 126 are provided on the support member 11 at intervals. The third hooks 126 have an inverted L-shaped structure, with protrusions 1261 extending outwards from the connection points on both sides of the inverted L-shape. Therefore, when the third hooks 126 are engaged in the third mounting hole 27, the protrusions 1261 exert a vertical pressing force on the first housing 2 at the position of the third mounting hole 27. Figure 16 As shown. The purpose of the protrusion 1261 is to prevent the foot pad structure 1 from jumping out due to excessive friction during use. Figure 16 As shown, there is a gap between the long side 1262 of the L-shaped third hook 126 and the first housing 2, and there is also a gap between the end of the long side 1262 and the first housing 2, so that the foot pad structure can be fastened into the third mounting hole 27.

[0102] For example, such as Figure 16 As shown, the engagement amount between the protrusion 1261 and the first housing 2 is 0.09 to 0.10 mm. The engagement amount between the long side 1262 of the third hook 126 and the first housing 2 is 1.0 to 1.5 mm.

[0103] In one of the alternative solutions, such as Figure 17 As shown, the mounting assembly 12 also includes a third limiting member 127, which is disposed on the support member 11;

[0104] Accordingly, such as Figure 18As shown, the first housing 2 is provided with a third limiting hole 28 that is adapted to the third limiting member 127. The third limiting hole 28 is used to limit the displacement of the third limiting member 127 in the first direction.

[0105] like Figure 17-18 As shown, the third limiting member 127 is disposed between the two third hook members 126, and the three are spaced apart. The third limiting member 127 has a square column structure, and correspondingly, the third limiting hole 28 is a square hole. The third limiting member is used for positioning to limit the displacement of the foot pad structure 1 in the first direction, and the gap between the third limiting member 127 and the third limiting hole 28 of the first housing 2 is zero in the first direction, but a gap is left in the second direction, such as... Figure 15 As shown. This means that once the foot pad structure is assembled onto the first housing, the foot pad structure can only move slightly along the second direction.

[0106] In this embodiment, the assembly process of the foot pad structure is as follows: the third hook 126 of the foot pad structure 1 is inserted obliquely into the third mounting hole 27, so that the long side and the protrusion of the third hook extend into the third mounting hole of the first housing, and then the long side is rotated so that the protrusion presses against the first housing at the third mounting hole.

[0107] In one of the alternative solutions, such as Figure 17 As shown, the foot pad structure also includes an anti-slip layer 13, which wraps around the outside of the support member 11. The anti-slip layer can be made of TPU material. The thickness of the anti-slip layer 13 is approximately between 0.5 and 0.6 mm. By providing the anti-slip layer 13, the foot pad structure 1 of this application can extend its service life and prevent electronic devices (such as laptops) from sliding when placed on the support surface, thus facilitating user operation.

[0108] Secondly, this application also provides an electronic device, including a first housing 2, and also including the foot pad structure in any of the above embodiments.

[0109] In this application, electronic devices include, but are not limited to, laptops, tablets, etc.

[0110] Taking a laptop as an example, the first casing 2 is part D. When it is necessary to assemble the above three different foot pad structures 1 onto part D, there are two assembly schemes as follows.

[0111] The first assembly scheme: The first foot pad structure of Example 1 is installed on part D and placed close to the crater, while part D, which is far from the crater, can adopt the third foot pad structure of Example 3.

[0112] The second assembly scheme: The second foot pad structure of Example 2 is installed on part D and placed close to the crater, while part D, which is far from the crater, can adopt the third foot pad structure of Example 3.

[0113] When the electronic device adopts the foot pad structure designed in this application, the foot pad structure can be easily and detachably installed on the first housing. Installation is convenient and does not require heat fusion to fix it to the first housing. When the foot pad structure needs to be replaced, only the first housing needs to be removed to replace the foot pad structure. There is no need to replace the first housing again. The entire disassembly process is also convenient, improving assembly and disassembly efficiency and greatly saving costs.

[0114] It should be understood that the various forms of processes shown above can be used to reorder, add, or delete steps. For example, the steps described in this disclosure can be executed in parallel, sequentially, or in different orders, as long as the desired result of the technical solution disclosed in this disclosure can be achieved, and this is not limited herein.

[0115] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this disclosure, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0116] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this disclosure, but the scope of protection of this disclosure is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this disclosure should be included within the scope of protection of this disclosure. Therefore, the scope of protection of this disclosure should be determined by the scope of the claims.
