Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic equipment technology, and in particular to a housing. Background Technology

[0002] Receivers, as important electronic devices, are widely used in communications, data transmission, and remote control. A receiver typically consists of a housing and a connector assembly housed within the housing, which is used for electrical connection to external devices. For ease of connection, the connector's plug needs to extend from inside the housing to the outside; therefore, the housing requires connector holes for the plug to pass through.

[0003] In the prior art, the housing typically employs a structure where the upper and lower housings snap together. To form the through hole of the connector, the connector hole is often formed by a portion of the first housing and a portion of the second housing. Specifically, the first housing has a semi-circular or other shaped groove at a corresponding position, and the second housing also has a corresponding groove at a corresponding position. When the upper and lower housings are snapped together, the two grooves close together to form a complete connector hole.

[0004] However, this enclosed connector design presents assembly difficulties. During assembly, workers must first place the connector in the groove of the second housing, ensuring proper alignment. Then, the first housing is placed over the second housing, again ensuring proper alignment between the connector and the groove of the first housing. Finally, the first and second housings must be precisely engaged. This assembly method requires workers to handle three alignment issues simultaneously: alignment between the connector and the second housing, alignment between the connector and the first housing, and alignment between the upper and lower housings. The operation is complex, demands high worker skills, has low assembly efficiency, and is prone to errors. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model provides a housing that can effectively simplify the assembly process, reduce the requirements for workers' operating skills, and improve assembly efficiency.

[0006] This utility model provides a housing for use in electronic devices. The electronic devices have a connector assembly that can be plugged into and detached to connect to external devices. The housing includes a first housing and a second housing that are fastened together. A receiving cavity for accommodating the connector assembly is formed between the first housing and the second housing. The second housing is provided with a connector hole for the protrusion of the connector assembly's plug.

[0007] In one possible implementation, the second housing includes: a base plate; a frame disposed around the base plate, and the connector hole disposed on the frame.

[0008] In one possible implementation, a guide groove is provided on the inner surface of the base plate adjacent to the connector hole, one end of the guide groove being connected to the connector hole for guiding the plug so that the plug can slide along the guide groove and pass through the connector hole.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the connector assembly further includes a circuit board, with the plug fixedly disposed at one end of the circuit board; a first snap-fit ​​portion is provided on the side of the first housing facing the second housing, and a second snap-fit ​​portion for snapping the first snap-fit ​​portion is provided on the side of the second housing facing the first housing; wherein, a plurality of second snap-fit ​​portions are disposed on the outer peripheral side of the circuit board, and a positioning surface for positioning the circuit board is provided on the side of the plurality of second snap-fit ​​portions facing the circuit board.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the second housing is provided with a support boss and a clamping block. The support boss is used to support one side of the circuit board, and the clamping block is used to clamp the other side of the circuit board. The clamping block has a clearance portion at one end away from the support boss to avoid the circuit board.

[0011] In one possible implementation, a reinforcing rib is provided inside the first housing, and the end of the reinforcing rib abuts against the side of the circuit board away from the supporting boss.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the connector hole includes a guide section and a mating section arranged sequentially along the axial direction, the size of the mating section matching the size of the connector, the guide section being adjacent to the receiving cavity, and the size of the guide section being larger than the size of the mating section.

[0013] In one possible implementation, the first housing includes: a top shell having a light-transmitting area corresponding to the light-emitting area of ​​the connector assembly; and a light-shielding assembly disposed on the inner surface of the top shell, the light-shielding assembly surrounding the light-transmitting area, and an end of the light-shielding assembly abutting against the connector assembly.

[0014] In one possible implementation, the light-shielding assembly includes: a fixing frame connected to the inner surface of the top shell; and a sealing member, one end of which is connected to the fixing frame and the other end of which abuts against the connector assembly.

[0015] In one possible implementation, the seal has a positioning groove on the side facing the fixing frame that mates with the fixing frame.

[0016] In one possible implementation, a button assembly disposed on the first housing is also included.

[0017] The technical solution provided by this utility model embodiment has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0018] The housing provided in this embodiment of the utility model adopts a snap-fit ​​structure of a first housing and a second housing, forming a receiving cavity between them to accommodate the connector assembly. A connector hole on the second housing is specifically for the protrusion of the connector assembly's plug. The connector hole is fully located on the second housing. During assembly, the worker first passes the plug of the connector assembly through the connector hole on the second housing to complete the assembly of the connector assembly with the second housing. Then, the second housing is snap-fitted onto the first housing. Throughout this process, there is no need to consider the fit between the plug and the first housing. In related technologies, the connector hole is formed by a portion of the first housing and a portion of the second housing. During assembly, the worker needs to simultaneously ensure that the plug is aligned with the first and second housing portions, and also ensure that the first and second housings are correctly aligned and snap-fitted. The worker needs to handle three alignment issues simultaneously, which is complex, error-prone, and requires high skill levels, resulting in low assembly efficiency. This utility model transforms the original simultaneous three-way alignment into a step-by-step assembly, requiring only two independent steps: aligning the plug with the second housing and snap-fitting the second housing. This reduces operational difficulty and improves assembly efficiency and success rate. Attached Figure Description

[0035] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model 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 utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0036] The following disclosure provides numerous different embodiments or examples for implementing various structures of the present invention. To simplify the disclosure, specific examples of components and arrangements are described below. These are merely examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Furthermore, reference numerals and / or letters may be repeated in different examples. Such repetition is for simplification and clarity and does not in itself indicate a relationship between the various embodiments and / or arrangements discussed.

[0037] For ease of description, spatial relative terms may be used in the text to describe the relative position or movement of one element or feature relative to another element or feature, as shown in the figure. These relative terms include, for example, "inside," "outside," "middle," "outer," "below," "below," "above," "front," "back," etc. Such spatial relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation, other than those depicted in the figure. For example, if the device in the figure undergoes a positional flip, orientation change, or change of motion, these directional indications will change accordingly. For instance, an element described as "below other elements or features" or "below other elements or features" will subsequently be oriented "above other elements or features" or "above other elements or features." Therefore, the example term "below" can include both upper and lower orientations. The device may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or in other directions), and the spatial relative descriptors used in the text will be interpreted accordingly.

[0038] like Figures 1-8 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a housing for an electronic device. The electronic device has a connector assembly 3, which can be plugged into and detached to connect to an external device. The assembly includes a first housing 1 and a second housing 2 that snap together. A receiving cavity for accommodating the connector assembly 3 is formed between the first housing 1 and the second housing 2. The second housing 2 has a connector hole 21 for the connector 31 of the connector assembly 3 to extend out. Specifically, the electronic device can be a receiver, which connects to external devices such as a computer or monitor through the connector 31 of the connector assembly 3. Of course, the electronic device is not limited to a receiver; it can also be a USB flash drive, a wireless network card, etc.

[0039] In this invention, the housing adopts a snap-fit ​​structure of a first housing 1 and a second housing 2, forming a receiving cavity between them to accommodate the connector assembly 3. A connector hole 21 is provided on the second housing 2 specifically for the protrusion of the connector 31 of the connector assembly 3. The connector hole 21 is fully disposed on the second housing 2. During assembly, the worker first passes the protrusion 31 of the connector assembly 3 through the connector hole 21 on the second housing 2 to complete the assembly of the connector assembly 3 and the second housing 2. Then, the second housing 2 is snap-fitted onto the first housing 1. Throughout the process, there is no need to consider the fit between the protrusion 31 and the first housing 1, effectively simplifying the assembly process, reducing the skill requirements for workers, and improving assembly efficiency.

[0040] Specifically, the fastening structure achieves a reliable connection to the upper second housing 2 through snap-fit ​​or threaded connections. The receiving cavity provides ample installation space for the connector assembly 3, and the size and position of the connector hole 21 are adapted to the protrusion requirements of the plug connector 31. In mass production, workers can first install all connector assemblies 3 into the second housing 2, and then uniformly perform the fastening operation of the upper second housing 2.

[0041] In related technologies, the connector hole 21 is formed by a part of the first housing 1 and a part of the second housing 2. During assembly, workers need to simultaneously ensure that the connector 31 is aligned with the first housing 1 and the second housing 2, and also ensure that the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 are correctly aligned and fastened. Workers need to handle three alignment issues simultaneously, which is complex, error-prone, and requires high skill levels, resulting in low assembly efficiency. This invention transforms the original simultaneous three-way alignment into a step-by-step assembly, requiring only two independent steps: aligning the connector 31 with the second housing 2 and fastening the second housing 2. This reduces operational difficulty and improves assembly efficiency and success rate.

[0042] In one specific embodiment, when production line workers perform batch assembly, they can first install all connector assemblies 3 into the second housing 2 to ensure that the plug 31 passes through the connector hole 21 correctly, and then perform the snap-fit ​​operation on the second housing 2 in a unified manner, avoiding the difficulty of operating multiple components at the same time in a confined space.

[0043] In some embodiments, the second housing 2 includes: a base plate 22; a frame 23 disposed around the base plate 22, and a connector hole 21 disposed on the frame 23.

[0044] In this invention, the second housing 2 includes a base plate 22 and a frame 23 disposed around the base plate 22, with a connector hole 21 disposed on the frame 23. The frame 23 serves as a connector, while the base plate 22 maintains structural integrity. The base plate 22 and the frame 23 form an integral structure, which ensures the overall strength of the housing and facilitates its processing and manufacturing.

[0045] Specifically, the base plate 22 provides a flat support base for the connector assembly 3, the frame 23 forms a side wall structure around the base plate 22, and the connector hole 21 is opened on the side wall of the frame 23, so that the connector 31 can slide from the surface of the base plate 22 to the position of the connector hole 21 of the frame 23.

[0046] In one specific embodiment, when the connector assembly 3 is placed on the base plate 22, the plug 31 can move smoothly along the surface of the base plate 22 to the position of the frame 23, and then extend through the connector hole 21. Throughout the process, the plug 31 always maintains good contact with the base plate 22, and the movement trajectory is clear and controllable.

[0047] In some embodiments, a guide groove 221 is provided on the inner surface of the base plate 22 near the connector hole 21. One end of the guide groove 221 is connected to the connector hole 21 to guide the plug 31 so that the plug 31 can slide along the guide groove 221 and pass through the connector hole 21.

[0048] In this invention, a guide groove 221 is provided on the inner surface of the base plate 22 near the connector hole 21. One end of the guide groove 221 is connected to the connector hole 21, providing a clear movement path and directional guidance for the connector 31. The connector 31 can slide along the guide groove 221 to the position of the connector hole 21, ensuring correct movement direction and accurate positioning.

[0049] Specifically, the guide groove 221 forms a recessed track on the inner surface of the base plate 22, and its width and depth are adapted to the size of the connector 31. The guide groove 221 extends from the installation position of the connector assembly 3 to the connector hole 21, planning the optimal movement path for the connector 31.

[0050] In one specific embodiment, when the connector assembly 3 is installed on the base plate 22, the plug 31 naturally falls into the guide groove 221. Under the constraint of the wall of the guide groove 221, the plug 31 can only move along the predetermined direction, avoiding deviation or misalignment during the movement process, and finally accurately reaching the position of the connector hole 21.

[0051] In some embodiments, the connector assembly 3 further includes a circuit board 32, and the plug 31 is fixedly disposed at one end of the circuit board 32; the first housing 1 is provided with a first snap-fit ​​portion 14 on the side facing the second housing 2, and the second housing 2 is provided with a second snap-fit ​​portion 24 for snapping the first snap-fit ​​portion 14 on the side facing the first housing 1; wherein, a plurality of second snap-fit ​​portions 24 are disposed on the outer peripheral side of the circuit board 32, and a positioning surface 241 for positioning the circuit board 32 is provided on the side facing the circuit board 32 of the plurality of second snap-fit ​​portions 24.

[0052] In this invention, the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 are engaged by the first snap-fit ​​part 14 and the second snap-fit ​​part 24, facilitating the assembly of the first housing 1 and the second housing 2. Furthermore, multiple second snap-fit ​​parts 24 are arranged around the outer periphery of the circuit board 32 and are attached to the outer periphery of the circuit board 32 via the positioning surface 241, positioning the circuit board 32 in a plane. Combined with the initial positioning of the connector 31 by the connector hole 21, the positioning surface 241 achieves secondary positioning of the connector assembly 3, further improving the positioning effect of the connector assembly 3.

[0053] Specifically, the first snap-fit ​​part 14 and the second snap-fit ​​part 24 achieve a reliable connection between the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 through a snap-fit ​​structure. The positioning surface 241 includes a guide part and a positioning part. When assembling the connector assembly 3 and the second housing 2, firstly, one end of the plug 31 of the connector assembly 3 is tilted downward at a certain angle. Then, the plug 31 is passed through the connector hole 21. Then, the circuit board 32 of the connector assembly 3 is gradually flattened. The circuit board 32 is gradually corrected and guided to the positioning part through the guide part. The circuit board 32 is accurately positioned through the positioning part, thereby completing the accurate positioning of the connector assembly 3.

[0054] In some embodiments, the second housing 2 is provided with a support boss 25 and a clamping block 26. The support boss 25 is used to support one side of the circuit board 32, and the clamping block 26 is used to clamp the other side of the circuit board 32. The clamping block 26 is provided with a clearance portion 261 for avoiding the circuit board 32 at one end away from the support boss 25.

[0055] In this utility model, the positioning surface 241 positions the circuit board 32 around its perimeter, and the supporting boss 25 supports the side of the circuit board 32 away from the first housing 1. The supporting boss 25 can be located at the second snap-fit ​​part 24 or can be located separately in the second housing 2. The clamping block 26 is located away from the connector hole 21, and two of them are provided, which are used to clamp the two sides of the circuit board 32 away from the connector 31 respectively.

[0056] Specifically, the support boss 25 protrudes from the inner surface of the second housing 2, providing a stable support point for the circuit board 32. The clamping block 26 applies clamping force to the circuit board 32 through elastic deformation or mechanical constraint. The clearance part 261 provides space clearance for specific areas of the circuit board 32, such as components and connectors. The chamfered structure on the clearance part 261 on the clamping block 26 causes the second housing 2 to deform to a certain extent when the circuit board 32 is pressed down, thereby allowing the circuit board 32 to pass over the clamping block 26. Afterwards, the second housing 2 returns to its original shape and the clamping block 26 clamps and limits the surface of the circuit board 32, completing the assembly of the circuit board 32 and the second housing 2.

[0057] In some embodiments, a reinforcing rib 15 is provided inside the first housing 1, and the end of the reinforcing rib 15 abuts against the side of the circuit board 32 away from the supporting boss 25.

[0058] In this utility model, the reinforcing rib 15 can increase the structural strength of the first housing 1. In addition, after the assembly of the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 is completed, the end of the reinforcing rib 15 abuts against the side of the circuit board 32 away from the supporting boss 25, further pressing and limiting the circuit board 32 to ensure the stability of the circuit board 32 in the housing.

[0059] Specifically, the reinforcing rib 15 is provided along the inner surface of the first housing 1 and extends along the thickness direction of the housing, with its end extending to the position that contacts the circuit board 32. When the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 are fastened together, the end of the reinforcing rib 15 abuts against the surface of the circuit board 32, forming an additional constraint on the circuit board 32.

[0060] In one specific embodiment, the circuit board 32 is basically fixed under the constraint of the support boss 25 and the clamping block 26. The end of the reinforcing rib 15 further enhances the stability of the circuit board 32. In particular, when subjected to external impact or vibration, the reinforcing rib 15 can effectively disperse the force acting on the circuit board 32 and protect the circuit board 32 from damage.

[0061] In some embodiments, the connector hole 21 includes a guide section 211 and a mating section 212 arranged sequentially along the axial direction. The size of the mating section 212 matches the size of the connector 31. The guide section 211 is adjacent to the receiving cavity, and the size of the guide section 211 is larger than the size of the mating section 212.

[0062] In this invention, the connector hole 21 includes a guide section 211 and a mating section 212 arranged sequentially along the axial direction. The size of the mating section 212 matches the size of the connector 31 to achieve precise mating. The guide section 211 is adjacent to the receiving cavity and is larger than the mating section 212, providing a pre-guided and then fixed assembly mode for the insertion of the connector 31.

[0063] Specifically, the guide section 211, due to its larger size, provides a more spacious initial insertion space for the connector 31, reducing the difficulty of alignment. The precise size of the mating section 212 ensures that the connector 31 can be stably positioned after insertion. The stepped size change achieves a smooth transition from easy insertion to tight fit.

[0064] In one specific embodiment, the connector 31 first enters the guide section 211. Even if there is a slight angular deviation or positional offset, the large size of the guide section 211 can accommodate the error. As the connector 31 continues to advance into the mating section 212, precise alignment and a stable connection are gradually achieved.

[0065] In some embodiments, the guide segment 211 and the mating segment 212 transition smoothly.

[0066] In this invention, the guide segment 211 and the mating segment 212 are connected by a smooth transition, eliminating any sharp edges or abrupt structural changes that may exist between the two segments. This smooth transition ensures that the connector 31 is not obstructed or damaged during its movement from the guide segment 211 to the mating segment 212, making the insertion process smoother.

[0067] Specifically, the transition area is treated with chamfers, arcs or bevels to make the size change gradual. When the connector 31 passes through the transition area, the force is uniform and there will be no sudden increase in resistance or change of direction.

[0068] In some embodiments, the first housing 1 includes: a top housing 11, on which a light-transmitting area 12 is provided, the light-transmitting area 12 corresponding to the light-emitting area of ​​the connector assembly 3; and a light-shielding assembly 13, disposed on the inner surface of the top housing 11, the light-shielding assembly 13 surrounding the light-transmitting area 12, and the end of the light-shielding assembly 13 abutting against the connector assembly 3.

[0069] In this utility model, the first housing 1 includes a top shell 11 with a light-transmitting area 12 and a light-shielding component 13 disposed on the inner surface of the top shell 11. The light-transmitting area 12 corresponds to the light-emitting area of ​​the connector component 3 to achieve precise light transmission. The light-shielding component 13 is disposed around the light-transmitting area 12 to block stray light. The end of the light-shielding component 13 abuts against the connector component 3 to provide fixed support.

[0070] Specifically, the light-transmitting area 12 forms a transparent or semi-transparent window on the top shell 11, allowing light generated by the light-emitting area of ​​the connector assembly 3 to pass through. The light-shielding assembly 13 is made of opaque material, and its surrounding arrangement effectively prevents light leakage from the non-light-transmitting area 12. The end abutment function ensures the stability of the connector assembly 3 within the shell.

[0071] In one specific embodiment, the light generated by the LED light-emitting area of ​​the connector assembly 3 is transmitted outward through the corresponding light-transmitting area 12 to form a clear display effect. The surrounding light-shielding components 13 prevent light interference from other areas, improving the contrast and clarity of the display. At the same time, the contact action of the light-shielding components 13 with the connector assembly 3 reduces the impact of vibration on the stability of the display.

[0072] In some embodiments, the light-shielding assembly 13 includes: a fixing frame 131 connected to the inner surface of the top shell 11; and a sealing member 132, one end of which is connected to the fixing frame 131 and the other end of which abuts against the connector assembly 3.

[0073] In this invention, the light-shielding component 13 includes a fixing frame 131 connected to the inner surface of the top shell 11 and a sealing member 132 connecting the fixing frame 131 and the connector component 3. One end of the sealing member 132 is connected to the fixing frame 131, and the other end abuts against the connector component 3. The elastic properties of the sealing member 132 enable it to adapt to connector components 3 of different thicknesses, while achieving a good fit and sealing effect as well as a light-shielding effect.

[0074] Specifically, the fixed frame 131 provides a stable mounting base for the light-shielding assembly 13, ensuring the accurate positioning of the light-shielding assembly 13 on the top shell 11. The seal 132 is made of elastic material and can be compressed or stretched within a certain range to adapt to changes in the thickness of the joint assembly 3. Its good fit ensures the sealing and light-shielding effect.

[0075] In one specific embodiment, when joint assemblies 3 of different thicknesses are installed, the elastic seal 132 compensates for the thickness difference through its own deformation, always maintaining a tight fit with the surface of the joint assembly 3, preventing light from leaking from the contact surface, while its sealing performance also prevents the intrusion of external dust and moisture.

[0076] In some embodiments, the sealing member 132 is provided with a positioning groove that mates with the fixing frame 131 on the side facing the fixing frame 131.

[0077] In this utility model, the sealing element 132 is provided with a positioning groove that cooperates with the fixing frame 131 on the side facing the fixing frame 131. The cooperation between the positioning groove and the fixing frame 131 enables the precise positioning of the sealing element 132 and prevents the sealing element 132 from shifting or misaligning during installation and use.

[0078] Specifically, the positioning groove forms a groove or protrusion structure on the seal 132 that matches the shape of the fixing frame 131, ensuring the correct position of the seal 132 relative to the fixing frame 131 through geometric constraints. The depth and shape of the positioning groove are precisely designed to provide appropriate constraint force.

[0079] In one specific embodiment, the seal 132 is precisely aligned with the fixing frame 131 through the positioning groove. Even under external force or long-term use, the seal 132 can remain in the correct position, ensuring that its contact position with the connector assembly 3 is always accurate and maintaining stable sealing and light-blocking performance.

[0080] In some embodiments, a button assembly 4 disposed on the first housing 1 is also included.

[0081] In this invention, the first housing 1 also includes a button assembly 4 disposed thereon, which directly integrates the button function into the housing structure, reducing the need for a separate button module and reducing the complexity and number of parts of the whole machine.

[0082] Specifically, the button assembly 4 is combined with the first housing 1 by injection molding, assembly or integral molding to form a component of the housing structure. The operating surface of the button is exposed to the outside, and the internal connecting mechanism is connected to the circuit system inside the housing.
