Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In the field of electronic devices, common electronic devices such as routers and smart home terminals usually adopt a split shell structure, which consists of two shells forming a closed space to accommodate internal electronic components. These electronic devices require frequent disassembly and assembly of the shell during daily maintenance, battery replacement, or fault diagnosis.

[0003] Existing technologies often use screws, bolts, and other fastening methods to connect and fix two housings. However, screws, bolts, and other fastening methods require the use of special tools such as screwdrivers during disassembly and assembly, making it impossible for users to operate in situations where they are out and about without tools. Furthermore, bolts and screws require precise alignment of the holes, making the operation difficult and inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an electronic device to solve the technical problem of inconvenient disassembly and assembly of the electronic device housing structure in the prior art.

[0005] Based on the above concept, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] An electronic device, comprising:

[0007] The first housing is equipped with an elastic positioning element;

[0008] The second housing is provided with a positioning groove; the first housing and the second housing are rotatably fastened together.

[0009] When the first housing rotates relative to the second housing to the locked position, the first housing and the second housing are rotated and fastened together, and the elastic positioning element is engaged and confined within the positioning groove.

[0010] Preferably, the second housing has a mounting cavity, the positioning groove is disposed on the surface of the mounting cavity, and the first housing is at least partially disposed within the mounting cavity.

[0011] Preferably, the surface of the mounting cavity is provided with a protrusion, and the first housing is provided with a locking groove. When the first housing is rotated relative to the second housing to the locking position, the protrusion is engaged with the locking groove.

[0012] Preferably, the first housing is provided with a locking block that extends outward from the surface of the first housing and forms the locking groove between the locking block and the surface of the first housing.

[0013] Preferably, the first housing is provided with a guide groove that communicates with the locking groove. When the first housing rotates relative to the second housing, the guide groove at least partially accommodates the protrusion.

[0014] Preferably, the surface of the locking block forms a guide surface.

[0015] Preferably, the resilient positioning element includes a positioning arm that extends outward from the surface of the first housing and at least partially extends beyond the surface of the first housing.

[0016] Preferably, the elastic positioning element further includes a mounting arm that connects the positioning arm to the surface of the first housing.

[0017] Preferably, the first housing is provided with a mounting portion, which at least partially accommodates the elastic positioning member when the first housing rotates relative to the second housing.

[0018] Preferably, the surface of the first housing is provided with an operating groove.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0020] The electronic device proposed in this utility model is installed by rotating and fastening a first housing with an elastic positioning element and a second housing with a positioning groove. In the locked position, the elastic positioning element and the positioning groove are automatically engaged and limited, which improves the convenience of disassembling and assembling the electronic device housing.

[0021] When installation is required, the first and second housings are initially aligned, and the first housing is rotated. During rotation, the elastic positioning element is compressed by the second housing, causing it to deform elastically. When rotated to the locked position, the elastic positioning element rebounds under the action of elastic potential energy and engages in the positioning groove, thus locking the first and second housings. The sound emitted during the rebound indicates that locking is complete. When disassembly is required, simply rotate the first housing in the opposite direction. The elastic positioning element automatically deforms under the compression of the second housing, disengaging from the positioning groove without interfering with the rotation of the second housing. No manual pressing or manipulating of the elastic positioning element is required throughout the process. This design, where the elastic positioning element automatically engages in the positioning groove when rotated to the locked position, ensures reliable connection while enabling rapid locking and unlocking. This makes the assembly and disassembly of electronic devices more efficient and labor-saving, effectively avoiding the tedious steps of repeatedly aligning holes and reducing operational difficulty.

[0022] In summary, the design of this electronic device avoids the reliance on specialized tools required for traditional bolt and screw connections. Users can complete the installation or separation operation simply by hand or by rotating the first housing with simple non-professional tools, making it highly adaptable and convenient.

Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature.

[0035] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0036] See Figures 1 to 6 The electronic device provided in this embodiment of the present invention includes a first housing 1 and a second housing 2. The first housing 1 is provided with an elastic positioning member 11; the second housing 2 is provided with a positioning groove 21; the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 are rotatably fastened together; when the first housing 1 rotates relative to the second housing 2 to the locked position, the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 are rotatably fastened together, and the elastic positioning member 11 is engaged and confined within the positioning groove 21.

[0037] The electronic device proposed in this utility model is installed by rotating and fastening a first housing 1 with an elastic positioning member 11 and a second housing 2 with a positioning groove 21. In the locked position, the elastic positioning member 11 and the positioning groove 21 are automatically engaged and limited, which improves the convenience of disassembling and assembling the electronic device housing.

[0038] When installation is required, the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 are initially aligned, and the first housing 1 is rotated. During rotation, the elastic positioning element 11 is compressed by the second housing 2, causing elastic deformation. When rotated to the locked position, the elastic positioning element 11 rebounds under the action of elastic potential energy and locks into the positioning groove 21, thereby locking the first housing 1 and the second housing 2. At the same time, the sound emitted by the rebound can indicate to the user that the locking is complete. When disassembly is required, simply rotate the first housing 1 in the opposite direction. The elastic positioning element 11 automatically undergoes elastic deformation under the compression of the second housing 2, causing it to disengage from the limit of the positioning groove 21 without interfering with the rotation process of the second housing 2. The entire process does not require manual pressing or moving of the elastic positioning element 11. The design of the elastic positioning element 11 automatically locking into the positioning groove 21 when rotated to the locked position achieves the function of quick locking and unlocking while ensuring the reliability of the connection. This makes the disassembly and assembly of electronic devices more efficient and labor-saving, effectively avoiding the tedious steps of repeatedly aligning the holes and reducing the difficulty of operation.

[0039] In summary, the design of this electronic device avoids the reliance on specialized tools for traditional bolt and screw connections. Users can complete the installation or separation operation simply by hand or by rotating the first housing 1 with simple non-professional tools, which has high adaptability and convenience.

[0040] The specific structure and working principle of this electronic device will be described in detail below.

[0041] It is worth noting that, in the following text, the electronic device is placed on a horizontal plane as an example. The first housing 1 is located at the lower part of the electronic device, while the second housing 2 is located at the upper part of the electronic device. For the convenience of describing in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, the directions in the following text are described in accordance with the directions shown in the accompanying drawings, but are not limited by them.

[0042] The first housing 1 and the second housing 2 are interlocked and connected, thereby achieving the effect of accommodating electronic components and other parts within the cavity formed by the first housing 1 and the second housing 2.

[0043] Optionally, the first housing 1 can be fastened to and cover the second housing 2, or the second housing 2 can be fastened to and cover the first housing 1. Under different application scenarios or design requirements, the fastening method of the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 can be adaptively selected according to the actual situation to optimize the product's appearance, layout, and internal space utilization.

[0044] In this embodiment, the second housing 2 is provided with a mounting cavity 22, and a positioning groove 21 is disposed on the surface of the mounting cavity 22. The first housing 1 is at least partially disposed within the mounting cavity 22. The mounting cavity 22 provides radial constraint for the rotational movement of the first housing 1, ensuring that the two remain stably aligned during relative rotation and effectively preventing jamming failure caused by rotational offset. The design of the first housing 1 embedded in the mounting cavity 22 makes the rotation axis more stable, reduces the risk of housing shaking during operation, and improves the smoothness of rotational movement. At the same time, the support of the inner wall of the mounting cavity 22 on the first housing 1 enhances the connection strength and prevents accidental detachment under external impact.

[0045] To enable the rotation of the first housing 1 relative to the second housing 2, an operating groove 16 is provided on the surface of the first housing 1. This allows the user's fingers or other operating parts to more easily grip or apply force to the operating groove 16 when it is necessary to rotate the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 for installation or disassembly, providing a point of leverage and enhancing the convenience and comfort of operation.

[0046] The operating groove 16 can be an arc-shaped operating groove 16, the depth and contour of which are adapted to human fingers, allowing users to easily drive the rotation by inserting one or two fingers into the groove; or, the operating groove 16 can be a straight operating groove 16, allowing users to insert parts of any common sheet-like or plate-like hard objects such as keys or coins into the straight operating groove 16 to drive the first housing 1 to rotate.

[0047] Preferably, an indicator 17 is provided on the outer periphery of the operating groove 16. The indicator 17 is used to display the rotation path of the first housing 1 about the locked position, thereby providing the user with clear operation guidance. When installing or removing electronic equipment, the user can intuitively know how the first housing 1 should be rotated, in which direction, and the specific path to the locked position based on the indicator 17, effectively avoiding misoperation caused by not knowing the operation path and improving the accuracy and efficiency of operation.

[0048] The indicator 17 can be a text sign, a graphic sign, or a symbol sign, etc. There is no limit to its specific form, as long as it can achieve the prompting effect.

[0049] When the first housing 1 is rotated to the locked position, a protrusion 23 is provided on the surface of the mounting cavity 22 to achieve a locking effect between the first housing 1 and the second housing 2. The first housing 1 is provided with a locking groove 12. When the first housing 1 rotates relative to the second housing 2 to the locked position, the protrusion 23 engages with the locking groove 12. Through the engagement of the protrusion 23 and the locking groove 12 at the locked position, a stable connection between the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 is achieved, preventing the connection from loosening due to accidental force causing relative rotation between the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 during the use of the electronic device.

[0050] In some alternative embodiments, the locking groove 12 can be disposed on the inner surface of the mounting cavity 22, while a corresponding protrusion 23 is disposed on the outer wall of the first housing 1. However, it should be noted that when this arrangement is adopted, the influence of the wall thickness of the mounting cavity 22 on the opening depth of the locking groove 12 must be considered; if the wall of the mounting cavity 22 is thin, it will be difficult to form a locking groove 12 with an effective locking depth to reliably accommodate the protrusion 23. Therefore, the specific configuration position of the protrusion 23 and the locking groove 12 needs to be adaptively designed in combination with the actual wall thickness of the mounting cavity 22 to ensure stable interlocking while meeting structural strength requirements.

[0051] Specifically, the first housing 1 is provided with a locking block 13, which extends outward from the surface of the first housing 1, and a locking groove 12 is formed between the locking block 13 and the surface of the first housing 1.

[0052] It is understandable that the extension direction of the locking groove 12 is parallel to the rotation direction of the first housing 1, so as to ensure that the protrusion 23 can smoothly enter or disengage from the locking groove 12 during the rotation of the first housing 1.

[0053] In this embodiment, a plurality of locking blocks 13 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the first housing 1, and a corresponding protrusion 23 is provided on the second housing 2 for each locking block 13.

[0054] Preferably, a guide surface 131 is formed on the surface of the locking block 13. During installation, when the first housing 1 rotates relative to the second housing 2, the guide surface 131 guides the protrusion 23 to slide smoothly into the locking groove 12, reducing alignment difficulty and making the installation operation smoother and more efficient. Simultaneously, the presence of the guide surface 131 also provides a buffering effect on the insertion of the protrusion 23, preventing damage from a hard collision between the protrusion 23 and the locking groove 12 due to improper force or positional deviation during installation, thus helping to improve the service life of the engagement structure between the protrusion 23 and the locking groove 12.

[0055] The guide surface 131 can be a guide slope, a guide arc surface, or a guide curved surface, etc. There is no specific limitation on its form. It is only necessary to ensure that the protrusion 23 can be smoothly engaged in the locking groove 12 during the rotation of the first housing 1.

[0056] More specifically, the first housing 1 is provided with a guide groove 14, which communicates with the locking groove 12. When the first housing 1 rotates relative to the second housing 2, the guide groove 14 at least partially accommodates the protrusion 23. The guide groove 14 provides a guiding path for the protrusion 23 to enter the locking groove 12, allowing the protrusion 23 to slide into the locking groove 12 more accurately and smoothly, reducing alignment difficulty and improving installation efficiency. Simultaneously, during rotation, the guide groove 14 accommodating the protrusion 23 restricts its position, preventing it from shifting and ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the final engagement between the protrusion 23 and the locking groove 12.

[0057] Furthermore, in the first housing 1 and the mounting cavity 22, one is provided with a limiting groove 18 extending along the rotation path of the first housing 1, and the other is provided with a limiting block 24 corresponding to the limiting groove 18. The limiting block 24 is engaged and slidably connected within the limiting groove 18. When the first housing 1 rotates, the limiting block 24 can move within the limiting groove 18. When the first housing 1 rotates, the limiting block 24 moves within the limiting groove 18, ensuring that the first housing 1 rotates along a predetermined rotation path and preventing the first housing 1 from deviating or wobbling during rotation, effectively improving the stability and accuracy of rotation. At the same time, when the limiting block 24 moves to the end of the limiting groove 18, it forms a rigid stop, thereby preventing the first housing 1 from being overloaded and damaged due to excessive rotation, thus further ensuring the reliability and durability of the electronic device.

[0058] Alternatively, a limiting groove 18 can be provided on the first housing 1, and a limiting block 24 can be provided in the mounting cavity 22; or a limiting block 24 can be provided on the first housing 1, and a limiting groove 18 can be provided in the mounting cavity 22. There is no limitation here, as long as the limiting block 24 and the limiting groove 18 correspond one-to-one and cooperate with each other. The specific setting position can be adapted to the actual needs of the internal space of the electronic device.

[0059] The elastic positioning element 11 includes a positioning arm 111, which extends outward from the surface of the first housing 1 and at least partially extends beyond the surface of the first housing 1. When the first housing 1 rotates, causing the second housing 2 to apply pressure to the elastic positioning element 11, the extended positioning arm 111 provides the elastic positioning element 11 with a larger elastic deformation space, thus enabling a greater elastic deformation. According to the principle of elastic potential energy, the greater the elastic deformation amplitude, the stronger the accumulated elastic potential energy. After the first housing 1 rotates to the locked position and the second housing 2 removes the force on the positioning arm 111, the strong elastic potential energy can more effectively spring back the positioning arm 111 and engage it in the positioning groove 21, thereby effectively avoiding the situation where the positioning arm 111 cannot be fully engaged in the positioning groove 21 due to insufficient elastic potential energy, thus ensuring the stability and reliability of the equipment's operational response.

[0060] Specifically, the elastic positioning element 11 also includes a mounting arm 112, which connects the positioning arm 111 and the surface of the first housing 1. The mounting arm 112 strengthens the connection between the positioning arm 111 and the first housing 1, making the elastic positioning element 11 more firmly integrated with the first housing 1. During long-term exposure to the pressure of the second housing 2 and repeated elastic deformation, the positioning arm 111 is less likely to detach from the first housing 1, ensuring the stability and reliability of the electronic device structure. Furthermore, the mounting arm 112 can effectively distribute the stress borne by the positioning arm 111 during deformation, avoiding localized stress concentration and helping to maintain the good elastic deformation capability of the positioning arm 111, thus extending its service life. In addition, the mounting arm 112 facilitates the installation and manufacturing of the positioning arm 111. During production, the positioning arm 111 can be more easily fixed to the first housing 1 via the mounting arm 112, optimizing the production process and improving production efficiency.

[0061] Furthermore, the first housing 1 is provided with a mounting portion 15. When the first housing 1 rotates relative to the second housing 2, the mounting portion 15 at least partially accommodates the elastic positioning member 11. When the second housing 2 compresses the elastic positioning member 11, the mounting portion 15 can accommodate the bent deformation portion of the elastic positioning member 11, avoiding interference and collision between the elastic positioning member 11 and surrounding electronic components or housing structure, ensuring the free deformation capability of the elastic positioning member 11 under large compression, and allowing it to fully accumulate the elastic potential energy required for reset.
