Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic device design technology, and in particular to a protective structure for protecting electronic components and an electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] Modern electronic devices such as laptops tend to be designed to be thinner and lighter. The space between the bottom shell and the circuit board of this type of electronic device is very small. This makes it easy for electronic components on the circuit board to come into contact with the bottom shell, resulting in damage.

[0003] Currently, in order to protect electronic components, designers generally place a protective frame around the electronic components and then fix the protective frame to the circuit board using adhesive. This protects the electronic components and prevents them from being damaged by contact with the backing.

[0004] In the above design, the protective frame requires adhesive backing for fixation. This installation process is relatively complex. Assemblers must first apply adhesive backing to designated locations before securing the frame to it. Furthermore, if operators mistakenly misalign the frame during installation, it becomes difficult to remove and may even damage the adhesive backing. In conclusion, the current method of using adhesive backing to fix the protective frame undoubtedly complicates the installation process and negatively impacts assembly efficiency.

[0005] Therefore, finding a technical solution that can solve the above-mentioned technical problems has become an important research topic for those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0007] This utility model provides a protective structure for protecting electronic components, including a protective frame sleeved around the electronic components. The protective frame includes a first clamping part, a second clamping part, and an elastic part. The first clamping part and the second clamping part are arranged opposite to each other, and the opposite ends of the first clamping part and the opposite ends of the second clamping part are respectively connected through the elastic part.

[0014] Optionally, a buffer layer is provided on the inner side of both the first clamping part and the inner side of the second clamping part.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] This utility model discloses a protective structure and electronic device for protecting electronic components, which solves the technical problem that existing protective frames for protecting electronic components are generally fixed to the outside of the electronic components by adhesive backing, resulting in a complicated installation process.

[0027] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] Please see Figures 1 to 2This utility model provides a protective structure for protecting electronic components, including a protective frame 1 sleeved around the electronic component 2. The protective frame 1 includes a first clamping part 101, a second clamping part 102, and an elastic part 103. The first clamping part 101 and the second clamping part 102 are disposed opposite to each other, and the opposite ends of the first clamping part 101 and the opposite ends of the second clamping part 102 are respectively connected through the elastic part 103. The elastic part 103 tends to drive the first clamping part 101 and the second clamping part 102 to move closer to each other to clamp the electronic component 2.

[0029] It should be noted that, in one specific embodiment of this example, the first clamping part 101 and the second clamping part 102 are in the form of a flat plate. The surface (inner side) of the first clamping part 101 facing the second clamping part 102 is the clamping surface for clamping the electronic component 2, and the surface (inner side) of the second clamping part 102 facing the first clamping part 101 is the other clamping surface for clamping the electronic component 2.

[0030] When the protective frame 1 is fitted onto the electronic component 2, the two clamping surfaces are pressed tightly against the opposite sides of the electronic component 2 by the elastic force of the elastic part 103, thereby clamping the electronic component 2.

[0031] Furthermore, this embodiment does not limit the specific structure of the first clamping part 101 and the second clamping part 102; their structure can be changed according to the type of electronic components.

[0032] In the protective structure of this embodiment, since the first clamping part 101 and the second clamping part 102 of the protective frame 1 are connected by the elastic part 103, when the protective frame 1 is fitted onto the electronic component 2, under the elastic force of the elastic part 103, the first clamping part 101 and the second clamping part 102 move closer to each other to clamp the electronic component 2. Through this design, the protective frame 1 can directly clamp the electronic component 2 when fitted onto it, thus eliminating the need for adhesive or other materials to fix the protective frame 1, effectively simplifying the assembly steps, making it easier for operators to perform installation operations, and improving assembly efficiency.

[0033] Furthermore, in one specific embodiment, the first clamping part 101, the second clamping part 102, and the elastic part 103 in this embodiment are an integral structure.

[0034] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the protective frame 1 is specifically made of elastic plastic, and the protective frame 1 is injection molded to form the first clamping part 101, the second clamping part 102, and the elastic part 103.

[0035] Furthermore, in the above specific embodiments, the elastic part 103 in this embodiment includes a first connecting end 1032, a second connecting end 1033, and at least one bending segment 1031;

[0036] The curved section 1031 is connected between the first connecting end 1032 and the second connecting end 1033. The first connecting end 1032 is connected to the first clamping part 101, and the second connecting end 1033 is connected to the second clamping part 102.

[0037] It should be noted that the aforementioned bending section 1031 is specifically an inverted U-shaped structure, and its number can be designed according to the actual elastic force requirements. This embodiment does not impose any restrictions on this. In addition, through the design of the aforementioned elastic part 103, the elastic part 103 can have characteristics similar to a tension spring, thereby tending to drive the first clamping part 101 and the second clamping part 102 to move closer to each other to clamp the electronic component 2.

[0038] Furthermore, in another specific embodiment, the first clamping part 101, the second clamping part 102, and the elastic part 103 are separate structures. In this specific embodiment, the elastic part 103 can be a tension spring.

[0039] Furthermore, a buffer layer is provided on the inner side of the first clamping part 101 and the inner side of the second clamping part 102.

[0040] It should be noted that, through the above design, the buffer layer can buffer the clamping force between the first clamping part 101 and the second clamping part 102. Specifically, the buffer layer can be silicone, rubber or foam, etc.

[0041] Furthermore, in another specific embodiment, the inner side of the first clamping part 101 in this embodiment has a first clamping rib 1011 protruding inward toward the interior of the protective frame 1, and the inner side of the second clamping part 102 has a second clamping rib 1021 protruding inward toward the interior of the protective frame 1.

[0042] When the first clamping part 101 and the second clamping part 102 are driven to approach each other, the first clamping rib 1011 and the second clamping rib 1021 clamp the electronic component 2.

[0043] It should be noted that, through the above design, when the protective frame 1 is fitted onto the electronic component 2, the first clamping part 101 and the second clamping part 102 are brought closer together by the elastic force of the elastic part 103, so that the first clamping rib 1011 and the second clamping rib 1021 clamp the electronic component 2. Furthermore, in the above design, since the electronic component 2 is mainly clamped by the first clamping rib 1011 and the second clamping rib, the contact area between the protective frame 1 and the electronic component 2 can be reduced, thereby achieving the clamping function while preventing the electronic component 2 from being subjected to large-area pressure.

[0044] In addition, it should be noted that, after testing, the protected electronic component 2 can withstand the clamping force of the protective frame 1, and the electronic component 2 will not be damaged by the protective frame 1 when it is protected.

[0045] Furthermore, the protective structure in this embodiment is used for electronic devices, such as laptops, wherein the electronic device includes a bottom shell 4 and a circuit board 3 disposed within the bottom shell 4. Electronic components 2 are electrically connected to the circuit board 3. The electronic components 2 are located between the circuit board 3 and the bottom shell 4. The distance h2 between the electronic components 2 and the bottom shell 4 is greater than or equal to the distance h1 between the first clamping part 101 and the second clamping part 102 and the bottom shell 4.

[0046] It should be noted that, through the above design, the protective frame 1 can ensure that the electronic components 2 will not come into contact with the bottom shell 4, thereby preventing the electronic components 2 from being damaged by contact with the bottom shell 4. At the same time, this design can also improve the supporting strength of the electronic device's outer shell.

[0047] Furthermore, the protective frame 1 in this embodiment has a hollow structure.

[0048] It should be noted that the above design provides sufficient space for electronic component 2 to dissipate heat, ensuring its normal operation.

[0049] Please see Figures 1 to 2 An electronic device provided by this utility model embodiment includes a bottom shell 4, a circuit board 3, electronic components 2 electrically connected to the circuit board 3, and the aforementioned protective structure, wherein the electronic components 2 are located between the circuit board 3 and the bottom shell 4;

[0050] The protective frame 1 of the protective structure is fitted onto the electronic component 2, and the first clamping part 101 and the second clamping part 102 in the protective structure clamp the electronic component 2 under the drive of the elastic part 103.

[0051] It should be noted that the aforementioned electronic device can specifically be a laptop computer, and electronic component 2 can be various types of chip components.

[0052] In the above design, since the first clamping part 101 and the second clamping part 102 of the protective frame 1 are connected by the elastic part 103, when the protective frame 1 is fitted onto the electronic component 2, under the elastic force of the elastic part 103, the first clamping part 101 and the second clamping part 102 move closer to each other to clamp the electronic component 2. Through this design, the protective frame 1 can directly clamp the electronic component 2 when fitted onto it, thus eliminating the need for adhesive or other materials to fix the protective frame 1, effectively simplifying the assembly steps, making it easier for operators to perform installation operations, and improving assembly efficiency.

[0053] The above provides a detailed description of a protective structure and electronic device for protecting electronic components provided by this utility model. For those skilled in the art, based on the ideas of the embodiments of this utility model, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
