[0029] With the development and widespread application of industries such as advertising, online games, mobile games, animation, and online education, drawing tablets (also known as digital drawing tablets) have also been widely used in the electromagnetic handwriting industry. Portable drawing tablets have also become popular among graphic designers, illustrators, and animators. Currently, the market demands higher performance and more portable sizes for drawing tablet products. However, higher performance means an increase in the number of electronic components, while a more portable size requires a smaller overall dimensions. How to simplify the internal structure as much as possible while ensuring performance has become one of the problems that the current design of drawing tablet structures needs to solve.

[0030] To ensure the secure installation of all components within the drawing tablet, mounting structures are essential. The increasing number of components means an increase in the number of mounting structures, which inevitably takes up more space within the tablet. Currently, drawing tablets typically use bolts or clips to secure components. Bolts can pass through multiple components to connect them together, but clips are mostly one-to-one connections and cannot secure multiple components together.

[0031] Therefore, one direction for miniaturizing hand-drawing screens is to use fewer mounting structures to fix multiple parts, thereby making the internal space of the drawing screen more compact.

[0032] In response, this application proposes a dual-purpose combination snap-fit ​​structure, which can simultaneously snap-fit ​​the button motherboard and the lower cover through the snap-fit ​​holes on the first connecting plate, thereby reducing the number of snap-fit ​​structures, saving internal space of electronic devices, and making the structure more compact.

[0033] Furthermore, this application also proposes a housing including the aforementioned dual-purpose combined snap-fit ​​structure. By using the aforementioned dual-purpose combined snap-fit ​​structure, space within the housing can be saved, making the housing structure more compact. This application also proposes an electronic device including the aforementioned housing. By using the aforementioned housing, more space can be freed up to accommodate electronic components, thereby improving the performance of the electronic product while maintaining the overall size.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 The dual-purpose combination snap-fit ​​structure in the first aspect embodiment of this application includes an upper cover 100, a button motherboard 200, and a lower cover 300. The upper cover 100 and the lower cover 300 together form a housing, and the button motherboard 200 is disposed within this housing to mount physical buttons. The upper cover 100 is simultaneously snap-fitted to the lower cover 300 and the button motherboard 200 via a first connecting plate 110, thereby completing the interconnection and fixation of the three components through only one snap-fit ​​connection structure. This simplifies the structure, improves connection efficiency, and saves internal space in the housing to accommodate more electronic devices.

[0035] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The upper cover 100 has a square frame structure with a central cutout for mounting a touchscreen. The upper cover 100 is provided with a first connecting plate 110, which transitions from a first side surface 111 to a second side surface 112 along its thickness direction. Notably, the first connecting plate 110 has a snap-fit ​​hole 113 extending from the first side surface 111 to the second side surface 112. This snap-fit ​​hole 113 allows for the connection of both the button motherboard 200 and the lower cover 300.

[0036] Reference Figure 4The button motherboard 200 has a button motherboard clip 210 on its side, and the button motherboard 200 is located on the first side 111 of the first connecting plate 110. When installing the button motherboard 200, it can slide across the first side 111 of the first connecting plate 110. After the button motherboard 200 moves to the predetermined position, the button motherboard clip 210 enters the latching hole 113 from the first side 111, thereby completing the connection between the button motherboard 200 and the top cover 100.

[0037] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 The lower cover 300 is provided with a second connecting plate 310, and a lower cover buckle 311 is provided on the side of the second connecting plate 310. The second connecting plate 310 is located on the second side 112 of the first connecting plate 110. When installing the lower cover 300, the second connecting plate 310 can slide across the second side 112 of the first connecting plate 110. After the lower cover 300 moves to the predetermined position, the lower cover buckle 311 enters the buckle hole 113 from the second side 112, thereby completing the connection between the lower cover 300 and the upper cover 100.

[0038] Therefore, the first connecting plate 110 of the upper cover 100 can simultaneously connect the button motherboard 200 and the lower cover 300. The snap-fit ​​hole 113 serves two purposes, improving the connection efficiency of the snap-fit ​​connection structure. This reduces the number of snap-fit ​​connection structures while ensuring connection stability, simplifying the electronic device structure and freeing up more space for electronic components. A gap is left between the button motherboard snap-fit ​​210 and the lower cover snap-fit ​​311 to prevent them from contacting each other in the snap-fit ​​hole 113 and causing interference, or even preventing stable snap-fit ​​fixing due to mutual interference.

[0039] Furthermore, a channel 120 is provided between the first connecting plate 110 and the inner wall of the upper cover 100. The second connecting plate 310 extends into the channel 120, with one side of the second connecting plate 310 contacting the first connecting plate 110 and the opposite side of the second connecting plate 310 contacting the inner wall of the upper cover 100. Thus, when the second connecting plate 310 is inserted into the channel 120, due to the narrow space of the channel 120, the second connecting plate 310 is held by the first connecting plates 110 on both sides and the inner wall of the upper cover 100, preventing the second connecting plate 310 from coming loose and improving the connection firmness of the second connecting plate 310.

[0040] Furthermore, the inner wall of the upper cover 100 is inclined, and the width of the channel 120 is along the first direction (refer to...). Figure 1As the x-direction of the channel gradually narrows, the second connecting plate 310 is gradually pushed towards the first connecting plate 110 during the insertion of the second connecting plate 310, thus guiding the insertion of the second connecting plate 310 during assembly. At the same time, the gradually narrowing channel 120 also forces the second connecting plate 310 to fit more tightly against the side of the first connecting plate 110, making the snap-fit ​​connection more secure.

[0041] Furthermore, the button motherboard clip 210 is provided with an inclined surface that can contact the first connecting plate 110. When installing the button motherboard 200, the inclined surface first contacts the first side surface 111 of the first connecting plate 110. On the one hand, this can guide the installation of the button motherboard 200, and on the other hand, it can reduce the frictional resistance when the button motherboard clip 210 slides across the first side surface 111 of the first connecting plate 110, making the button motherboard 200 easier to install.

[0042] Furthermore, the lower cover buckle 311 is provided with an inclined surface that can contact the first connecting plate 110. When installing the lower cover 300, the inclined surface first contacts the second side surface 112 of the first connecting plate 110. On the one hand, this can guide the installation of the lower cover 300, and on the other hand, it can reduce the frictional resistance when the lower cover buckle 311 slides across the second side surface 112 of the first connecting plate 110, making the lower cover 300 easier to install.

[0043] Furthermore, the end of the first connecting plate 110 is provided with a bevel, which is adapted to match the bevel of the keypad latch 210 or the lower cover latch 311. When the keypad 200 or the lower cover 300 is inserted, the bevel on the first connecting plate 110 can first contact the bevel of the keypad latch 210 or the bevel of the lower cover latch 311, and guide the keypad 200 or the lower cover 300 into the predetermined position, facilitating the installation of the keypad 200 and the lower cover 300.

[0044] Optionally, a step 1131 is provided inside the snap-fit ​​hole 113, allowing the button motherboard latch 210 to engage with the step 1131, thereby limiting the position of the button motherboard latch 210. Furthermore, the end of the button motherboard latch 210 is located within the step 1131, preventing the end of the button motherboard latch 210 from being too long and contacting the lower cover latch 311, thus limiting the displacement of the button motherboard latch 210.

[0045] A housing according to a second aspect of this application includes the above-described dual-purpose combination fastening structure, which can save space inside the housing and make the housing structure more compact.

[0046] An electronic product according to a third aspect embodiment of this application includes the aforementioned housing. This housing provides more internal space for accommodating electronic components, thereby improving the product's performance and meeting consumer demands. The electronic products mentioned in this application include, but are not limited to, drawing tablets, digital displays, mobile phones, and tablet computers.

[0047] The embodiments of this application have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this application is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of this application. Furthermore, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other.
