Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a device, and more particularly to an electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] Existing electronic devices (e.g., Wi-Fi devices) include two housings, two connectors, a connecting cable, and a pairing wire. The two ends of the two connectors are exposed outside the two housings. One end of the connecting cable can be connected to an external network socket, and the other end extends into one of the housings and connects to one of the connectors. The circuit board is located inside the other housing and connected to the other connector. When transmitting network signals from the external network socket to the circuit board, the two connectors must be connected via the pairing wire, resulting in the exposed pairing wire. The exposed pairing wire is susceptible to detachment due to unexpected external forces or damage from external environmental influences, leading to poor connection stability between the two connectors and consequently, poor reliability of the electronic device.

The first direction D1, the second direction D2, and the third direction D3, which are distinct and perpendicular to each other, are shown here, with some structural details omitted for ease of component description. Please also refer to... Figures 1 to 5 The electronic device 100 includes a first housing 110, a second housing 120, and a connecting assembly 130. The first housing 110 includes a first fixing assembly 111. The second housing 120 is detachably connected to the first housing 110. The connecting assembly 130 includes a connecting wire 131, a first connector 132, and a second connector 133. The first connector 132 is disposed on the first housing 110 and connected to the first fixing assembly 111. A portion of the connecting wire 131 and the second connector 133 are disposed on the second housing 120, with the connecting wire 131 connected to the second connector 133. When the second housing 120 is connected to the first housing 110, the second connector 133 is connected to the first connector 132, and the first housing 110 covers the second housing 120. The electronic device 100 in this embodiment is, for example, a Wi-Fi device, but is not limited thereto. The first connector 132 is connected to a circuit board (not shown) inside the first housing 110. The connecting wire 131 can be connected to an external network socket (not shown).

[0024] In existing electronic devices, one end of the first connector is exposed outside the first housing, and the other end of the second connector is exposed outside the second housing. When transmitting network signals to the circuit board inside the first housing, an additional connection wire is required to connect the first and second connectors, resulting in this exposed connection wire. The exposed connection wire is susceptible to detachment due to unexpected external forces, damage from external environmental factors, or loosening due to repeated plugging and unplugging. Therefore, the connection stability between the first and second connectors in existing electronic devices is poor, leading to lower device reliability.

[0025] In this embodiment, when the first housing 110 is connected to the second housing 120, the first connector 132 is connected to the second connector 133 connected to the connecting line 131, so that the connecting line 131 is electrically connected to the circuit board through the first connector 132 and the second connector 133 to transmit network signals. The connecting line 131, the first connector 132, and the second connector 133 are interconnected inside the housing and not exposed, thereby improving the connection stability between the first connector 132 and the second connector 133 and improving the reliability of the electronic device 100. Since the electronic device 100 of this embodiment does not need to be provided with additional connection wires compared to existing electronic devices, the size and cost of the electronic device 100 can be further reduced.

[0026] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first outer shell 110 includes two connected sub-outer shells 112 and 113, and a first fixing component 111 is disposed on the sub-outer shell 112. The first fixing component 111 includes a first stop 1111, a second stop 1112, and a third stop 1113. The first stop 1111 abuts against the first connector 132 in a first direction D1, the second stop 1112 abuts against the first connector 132 in a second direction D2, and the third stop 1113 abuts against the first connector 132 in a third direction D3. In this embodiment, the second stop 1112 and the third stop 1113 are interconnected and connected to the sub-outer shell 112, and the first stop 1111 is connected to the third stop 1113. The first stop 1111 is a hook, and the second stop 1112 and the third stop 1113 are retaining walls. The first stop portion 1111 is located above the first connector 132 in the first direction D1. The second stop portion 1112 and the third stop portion 1113 extend along the second direction D2 and the third direction D3, respectively, and surround the first connector 132. In this embodiment, there are two of each of the first stop portion 1111, the second stop portion 1112, and the third stop portion 1113, and they are symmetrically arranged about the axis L. The axis L is parallel to the second direction D2. In this embodiment, the first fixing component 111 can fix the first connector 132 in three directions, thereby improving the connection stability between the first connector 132 and the second connector 133.

[0027] The connecting assembly 130 in this embodiment further includes a fastener 134. The fastener 134 includes a connected head 1341 and a neck 1342, with the width W1 of the head 1341 being greater than the width W2 of the neck 1342. The first fixing assembly 111 includes an auxiliary stop 1114 and a stop hole 1115. The auxiliary stop 1114 is connected to a third stop 1113, and the stop hole 1115 is located in the auxiliary stop 1114 and extends along a first direction D1. The neck 1342 is located within the stop hole 1115, and the head 1341 abuts against the first connector 132. The fastener 134 assists the first stop 1111 and abuts against the first connector 132 in the first direction D1 to restrict the movement of the first connector 132 in the first direction D1. The number of fasteners 134 may be two, and the fasteners 134 may be screws. The stop hole 1115 may include internal threads for engagement with screws, but is not limited thereto.

[0028] In other embodiments not shown, the two necks 1342 of the two fasteners 134 may be sequentially inserted into the plate and the two stop holes 1115, thereby causing the plate to abut against the first connector 132 in the first direction D1, so as to better restrict the movement of the first connector 132 in the first direction D1. In other embodiments not shown, the first fixing component 111 may only include a first stop portion 1111 and a second stop portion 1112, with the first stop portion 1111 connected to the sub-housing 112.

[0032] The second fixing component 123 includes a fourth stop 1231, a fifth stop 1232, and a sixth stop 1233. The fourth stop 1231 stops the second connector 133 in the first direction D1, the fifth stop 1232 stops the second connector 133 in the second direction D2, and the sixth stop 1233 stops the second connector 133 in the third direction D3. In this embodiment, the fifth stop 1232 and the sixth stop 1233 are interconnected and connected to the first sub-shell 121, and the fourth stop 1231 is connected to the first sub-shell 121. The fourth stop 1231 is a hook, and the fifth stop 1232 and the sixth stop 1233 are retaining walls. The fourth stop 1231 is located above the second connector 133 in the first direction D1 and engages with an opening OP2 of the second sub-shell 122. The fifth stop portion 1232 and the sixth stop portion 1233 extend along the second direction D2 and the third direction D3, respectively, surrounding the second connector 133. In this embodiment, there are two of each of the fourth stop portion 1231, fifth stop portion 1232, and sixth stop portion 1233, and they are symmetrically arranged about an axis L parallel to the second direction D2. The second fixing component 123 can fix the second connector 133 in three directions, thereby improving the connection stability between the second connector 133 and the first connector 132. In other embodiments not shown, the second fixing component 123 may have the same structure as the first fixing component 111. In other embodiments not shown, the second fixing component 123 may only include the fourth stop portion 1231 and the fifth stop portion 1232.

[0033] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the second housing 120 includes a protrusion 124 protruding from the bottom surface 1221 of the second sub-housing 122 in a direction away from the first sub-housing 121, and a second connector 133 including a second connecting end E2. The protrusion 124 is U-shaped and has an opening OP3 on one side. The opening OP2 is located on the top surface of the protrusion 124. At least a portion of the fifth stop portion 1232 and the sixth stop portion 1233 are exposed from the opening OP3. A portion of the second connector 133 is located inside the protrusion 124, and another portion of the second connector 133 is exposed from the second housing 120. The second connecting end E2 of the second connector 133 is exposed from the opening OP3 of the protrusion 124 and is located outside the accommodating space P.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the second housing 120 also includes a slide rail R2 and an auxiliary alignment member 127 located on the second sub-housing 122. The slide rail R2 extends along the second direction D2. In this embodiment, the number of slide rails R2 corresponds to the slide groove R1 and is four, with the four slide rails R2 located in pairs on both sides of the protrusion 124. The auxiliary alignment member 127 is connected to the second sub-housing 122 and connected to the slide rails R2. The auxiliary alignment member 127 includes a connected top 1271 and a neck 1272, with the neck 1272 connected to the second sub-housing 122. The width of the top 1271 in the third direction D3 is greater than the width of the second portion 1152 of the auxiliary alignment opening 115, and less than or equal to the width of the first portion 1151 of the auxiliary alignment opening 115. The width of the neck 1272 in the third direction D3 is less than or equal to the width of the second portion 1152.

[0035] In this embodiment, the auxiliary alignment member 127 is a hook. There are two auxiliary alignment members 127, and the two auxiliary alignment members 127 are respectively connected to the two outermost slide rails R2. In embodiments not shown, the second outer shell 120 may include a slide groove R1 located on the second sub-outer shell 122, and the first outer shell 110 may include a slide rail R2 located on the sub-outer shell 112.

[0036] like Figure 5 As shown, the second outer shell 120 includes a positioning member 125 and a connecting opening 126.

In this embodiment, there are multiple positioning members 125, which are connected to the first sub-outer shell 121. The connecting line 131 enters the second outer shell 120 through the connecting opening 126, which is formed in the first sub-outer shell 121. In this embodiment, there are three connecting openings 126, 126', and 126''. One connecting opening 126 is located on the side S1 of the second outer shell 120, and two connecting openings 126' and 126'' are located on the bottom surface S2 of the second outer shell 120. The side S1 is connected to the bottom surface S2. In this embodiment, the connecting line 131 enters the second outer shell 120 through the connecting opening 126 and engages with the corresponding positioning member 125.

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, during the connection process between the first housing 110 and the second housing 120, the protrusion 124 and slide rail R2 of the second housing 120 are aligned with the groove 114 and slide groove R1 of the first housing 110, respectively. The auxiliary alignment member 127 of the second housing 120 is first aligned with the first part 1151 of the auxiliary alignment opening 115 of the first housing 110. At this time, the second housing 120 can move towards the first housing 110 along the first direction D1, so that the auxiliary alignment member 127 extends into the first part 1151 of the auxiliary alignment opening 115, and part of the protrusion 124 and slide rail R2 enter the groove 114 and slide groove R1, respectively. Then, the second housing 120 can slide relative to the first housing 110 along the second direction D2, so that the auxiliary alignment member 127 moves to the second part 1152 of the auxiliary alignment opening 115 and engages with the first housing 110, and the second housing 120 is connected to the first housing 110.

[0038] When the second outer shell 120 is connected to the first outer shell 110, the protrusion 124 and the slide rail R2 are located in the corresponding groove 114 and slide groove R1, and the second connecting end E2 of the second connector 133 is connected to the first connecting end E1 of the first connector 132. The second sub-outer shell 122 is located between the first sub-outer shell 121 and the first outer shell 110.

[0039] When the second housing 120 is to be removed from the first housing 110, the second housing 120 can be slid relative to the first housing 110 in a direction opposite to the second direction D2 under force, causing the auxiliary alignment member 127 of the second housing 120 to move to the first portion 1151 of the auxiliary alignment opening 115, thereby disengaging from the first housing 110. Then, the second housing 120 can be moved away from the first housing 110 in a direction opposite to the first direction D1 under force, thereby removing the second housing 120 from the first housing 110.

[0040] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the first outer casing according to an embodiment of the present invention. Please also refer to... Figure 3 and Figure 6 The first outer shell 110a of this embodiment is similar to that of the previous embodiment, except that the first stop 1111a of the first fixing component 111a in this embodiment is a plate, and the third stop 1113a is a hook. The auxiliary stop 1114a of the first fixing component 111a is connected to the sub-outer shell 112, the first stop 1111a, and the second stop 1112, and the third stop 1113a extends from the auxiliary stop 1114a toward the axis L to abut against the first connector 132. The first outer shell 110a of this embodiment has the same function as that of the previous embodiment, and will not be described again here.

Figure 5 and Figure 7 The connecting lines 131' and 131'' in this embodiment are similar to those in the previous embodiment. The difference is that the connecting lines 131' and 131'' enter the second housing 120 from the connecting openings 126' and 126'' located on the bottom surface S2 of the second housing 120. Figure 7 The connecting lines 131' and 131'', respectively, are schematically drawn with solid and dashed lines, entering the second housing 120 through the two connecting openings 126' and 126''. Depending on the winding method of the connecting lines 131' and 131'', they can engage with the corresponding positioning member 125. Users can select and configure the connecting lines 131', 131'' according to their needs. The connecting lines 131' and 131'' in this embodiment have the same functions as those in the previous embodiments, and will not be described again here.

[0042] In summary, when the first housing of the electronic device of this invention is connected to the second housing, the first connector is connected to the second connector connected to the connecting wire, thereby electrically connecting the connecting wire to the first connector for signal transmission. The first and second connectors are interconnected within the housing and are not exposed.
