[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of electronic equipment, and in particular relates to a housing module for packaging electronic equipment and the electronic equipment. Background Art

[0002] The housing module used for electronic equipment packaging is usually designed to be two parts that can be detachably connected. The locking structure connection is a commonly used detachable connection structure. By respectively providing a snap-fitting part and a locking part on the two parts of the housing, the snap-fitting part and the locking part can be snapped together to achieve the connection between the two parts of the housing after the two parts of the housing are correctly assembled.

[0003] In the related art, in order to achieve anti-misassembly of the shell module, the commonly adopted approach is to design the locking structures distributed on both sides of the shell module to have different spacings. However, due to the size of the shell module, it is difficult to achieve a large difference in spacing. There is still a large risk of misassembly during the assembly process. Once reverse assembly is performed, it is easy to cause damage to the locking structure or the shell module itself.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a housing module for packaging an electronic device and an electronic device to solve the problems raised in the above background technology. Summary of the Invention

[0028] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application. Example 1

[0029] Referring to Figures 1-4 , the present invention provides a housing module 10 for packaging electronic devices, comprising a first housing 11, a second housing 12, and a locking structure 13. The first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are connected by the locking structure 13 and cooperate to form a receiving space for accommodating and mounting other electronic components.

[0030] In this embodiment, the first shell 11 includes a top plate 111 and a side plate 112 bent and extended from the edge of the top plate 111 toward the second shell 12 . The top plate 111 is relatively spaced from the second shell 12 , and the side plate 112 abuts against the surface of the second shell 12 .

[0031] The locking structure 13 includes a cooperating snap-fit ​​portion 131 and a locking portion 132, which are detachably connected. The snap-fit ​​portion 131 is fixed to the first housing 11, and the locking portion 132 is fixed to the second housing 12. The snap-fit ​​portion 131 and the locking portion 132 are provided in a one-to-one correspondence. Preferably, the snap-fit ​​portion 131 is integrally formed with the first housing 11 to ensure structural stability.

[0032] In this embodiment, the locking structure 13 is a buckle, the male buckle of the buckle is the engaging portion, and the female buckle of the buckle is the locking portion. In other embodiments, the locking structure 13 can also be other detachable mating forms, such as the mating of a post and a slot, or the mating of a lock tongue and a lock head.

[0033] Specifically, the clamping portion 131 is fixed to the outer surface of the side plate 112 , the locking portion 132 is fixed to the surface of the second shell 12 abutting against the side plate 112 , and the locking portion 132 is located at the periphery of the side plate 112 .

[0034] In electronic devices, the electronic device packaging housing module 10 generally also serves to secure the internal electronic components. Due to the asymmetric distribution of electronic components, the shape of the electronic device packaging housing module 10 is often also asymmetric. This requires careful consideration of the assembly direction during assembly, as reverse assembly may damage the internal electronic components. Therefore, the orientation of the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 must be carefully considered to ensure the correct assembly direction.

[0035] To more clearly illustrate the assembly orientation of the electronic device packaging housing module 10, the orientations of the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are defined as follows: the first housing 11 includes a first side 11A and a second side 11B that are opposite each other, and the second housing 12 includes a third side 12A and a fourth side 12B that are opposite each other. The first side 11A and the second side 11B of the first housing 11 are both provided with the clamping portions 131; the third side 12A and the fourth side 12B of the second housing 12 are both provided with the locking portions 132. The number of clamping portions 131 on the first side 11A and the second side 11B of the first housing 11 is equal.

[0036] The correct assembly method is: the clamping portion 131 on the first side 11A of the first shell 11 is locked one-to-one with the locking portion 132 on the third side 12A of the second shell 12, and the clamping portion 131 on the second side 11B of the first shell 11 is locked one-to-one with the locking portion 132 on the fourth side 12B of the second shell 12.

[0037] To achieve a better assembly effect, a raised plug-in portion 110 is further provided on the first side 11A of the first shell 11. The plug-in portion 110 serves as a distinguishing feature in appearance, allowing for intuitive distinction between the first side 11A and the second side 11B of the first shell 11. During the material removal process, the orientation of the first shell 11 can be adjusted in one go, ensuring that the assembly direction of the first shell 11 is not easily incorrect. Preferably, the plug-in portion 110 is integrally formed with the first shell 11.

[0038] Specifically, in this embodiment, the number of the plug-in parts 110 is one. In other embodiments, the number of the plug-in parts 110 can also be set according to actual needs, and the present invention does not limit this.

[0039] The plug-in portion 110 is located between any two of the clamping portions 131 on the first side 11A of the first shell 11, and is spaced apart from the two locking portions 132 located on the third side 12A of the second shell 12 and closest to the plug-in portion 110 to form a plug-in space 141. The two locking portions 132 located on the fourth side 12B of the second shell 12 and closest to the plug-in portion 110 are spaced apart to form a non-plug-in space 142. The orthographic projection of the plug-in portion 110 onto the plug-in space 141 completely falls into the plug-in space 141, and the orthographic projection of the plug-in portion 110 onto the non-plug-in space 142 is at least partially located outside the non-plug-in space 142.

[0040] During assembly, when reverse assembly is performed, that is, when the first side 11A of the first shell 11 is assembled with the fourth side 12B of the second shell 12, the plug-in portion 110 cannot be smoothly inserted between two adjacent locking portions 132 on the fourth side 12B of the second shell 12. When forward assembly is performed, that is, when the first side 11A of the first shell 11 is assembled with the third side 12A of the second shell 12, the plug-in portion 110 can be smoothly inserted between two adjacent locking portions 132 on the third side 12A of the second shell 12. The provision of the plug-in portion 110 ensures the uniqueness of the assembly direction, which can achieve the effect of preventing assembly errors.

[0041] Specifically, in this embodiment, the plug-in portion 110 is a U-shaped rib, including a bottom edge 1101 and two side edges 1102 arranged at both ends of the bottom edge 1101 and relatively spaced apart. The two side edges 1102 cooperate with the bottom edge 1101 to form a U-shaped structure. After assembly is completed, the two side edges 1102 respectively abut against the two locking portions 132 on both sides of the plug-in space 141.

[0042] The two side edges 1102 can play a guiding role during the assembly process, so that the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 can move relatively flush along the extension direction of the side edges 1102, thereby maintaining stability during the assembly process. Example 2

[0043] Please refer to FIG. 5 . This embodiment provides another housing module 20 for packaging electronic devices. Compared with the first embodiment, this embodiment differs only in the structure of the plug-in portion, and the rest of the structures are identical.

[0044] In this embodiment, the plug-in portion 120 is a cylindrical protrusion, and the two sides of the cylindrical protrusion respectively abut against the two locking portions 132 located on both sides of the plug-in space 141. The diameter of the cylindrical protrusion is not greater than the minimum width of the plug-in space 141 to ensure that the plug-in portion 120 can be smoothly inserted between the two locking portions 132 at this position. Example 3

[0045] Please refer to FIG. 6 . This embodiment provides another housing module 30 for packaging electronic devices. Compared with the first embodiment, this embodiment differs only in the structure of the plug-in portion, and the rest of the structures are identical.

[0046] In this embodiment, the plug-in portion 130 includes at least one group of protrusions spaced apart in the horizontal direction, each of the protrusion groups includes two protrusions, and the two protrusions respectively abut against two locking portions 132 located on both sides of the plug-in space 141 .

[0047] Based on the first embodiment, the present embodiment omits the structure of the bottom edge 1101 and simplifies the continuous side edge 1102 into a plurality of spaced protrusions, resulting in a more streamlined structure. Example 4

[0048] Please refer to Figure 7. This embodiment provides an electronic device 100, including the electronic device packaging shell module 10 provided in Example 1, a circuit board 40 and at least one electronic component 50. The first shell 11 and the second shell 12 cooperate to form a receiving space. The circuit board 40 and the electronic component 50 are both received in the receiving space. The circuit board 40 is connected to an external power supply through a wire, and the electronic component 50 is installed on the circuit board 40 and electrically connected to the circuit board 40.

[0049] Specifically, in this embodiment, the electronic component 50 is a MEMS device, and the electronic device packaging shell module 10 is provided with a sound hole connected to the outside world corresponding to the position where the MEMS device emits sound, and the sound generated by the MEMS device is transmitted outward through the sound hole.

[0050] It should be noted that the electronic device packaging housing module 10 in this embodiment can also be replaced by the electronic device packaging housing module 20 in Example 2 or the electronic device packaging housing module 30 in Example 3, which does not affect the correct expression of this embodiment.

[0051] The above description is only an embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that those skilled in the art can make improvements without departing from the creative concept of the present invention, but these improvements all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
