[0106] According to one embodiment, the remaining capacity of the battery (250) associated with the operation of separating the rear plate (211) from the bracket (e.g., the front plate (202)) may be, for example, the current remaining capacity of the battery (250) in the case of a non-rechargeable primary battery, or the maximum chargeable remaining capacity when the battery (250) is recharged in the case of a rechargeable secondary battery or fuel cell.

[0107] According to one embodiment, the information about the remaining capacity of the battery (250) may be information about the minimum remaining capacity of the battery (250), and the information about the minimum remaining capacity of the battery (250) may be, for example, information that the battery (250) should be separated when the remaining capacity of the battery (250) is below a preset value. Accordingly, when the remaining capacity of the battery (250) is below the preset value, the driving unit (242a) may be driven to separate the rear plate (211) from the bracket (e.g., the front plate (202)) or to notify the user of the information about the remaining capacity of the battery (250). Through this, the battery (250) may be separated from the electronic device (101).

[0108] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may further include a sensor that determines whether the rear plate (211) is detached. The sensor may determine whether the rear plate (211) is detached. The sensor may sense whether the rear plate (211) is detached and store the information in the memory (130).

[0109] Based on information about whether the rear plate (211) is separated, an instruction stored in the memory (130) can drive the driving unit (242). According to one embodiment, when the rear plate (211) is separated from the bracket (e.g., the front plate (202)), the driving unit (242) can be stopped by the at least one processor (120). In addition, even after the driving unit (242) is driven, when the rear plate (211) is not separated from the housing, the instruction can increase the driving force of the driving unit (242), and when the driving force is increased, the driving unit (242) can apply a stronger force to the rear plate (211).

[0115] The connecting portion (2422a) is a configuration that connects the motor (2421a) and the rotating member (2423a), and may be a configuration that transmits the rotational force of the motor (2421a) to the rotating member (2423a) to rotate the rotating member (2423a). In addition, the motor (2421a) may be formed at one end of the connecting portion (2422a), and the rotational axis of the rotating member (2423a) may be formed at the other end. For example, the connecting portion (2422a) may include a gear structure (not shown) that connects the motor (2421a) and the rotating member (2423a).

[0116] In the present embodiment and the following embodiments, the driving unit (242a) is illustrated as including a connecting portion (2422a), but is not limited thereto. If the driving unit (242a) can be driven without including the connecting portion (2422a), the connecting portion (2422a) may be omitted. For example, the driving unit (242a) can rotate the motor (2421a) and the rotating member (2423a) without including a gear structure (not shown).

[0117] The rotating member (2423a) is a configuration formed at one end of the connecting portion (2422a) and can rotate by the rotational movement of the motor (2421a). According to one embodiment, the rotating member (2423a) can be configured to rotate around a rotational axis formed at the connecting portion (2422a).

[0118] Referring to FIGS. 6 and 7, before the rotating member (2423a) rotates due to the rotational motion of the motor (2421a), the rotating member (2423a) may be positioned further from the rear plate (211) than the connecting portion (2422a). However, after the rotating member (2423a) rotates due to the driving of the motor (2421a), at least a portion of the rotating member (2423a) may be positioned closer to the rear plate (211) than the connecting portion (2422a). As a result, at least a portion of the rotating member (2423a) may come into contact with at least a portion of the rear plate (211).

[0119] If at least a portion of the rotating member (2423a) contacts at least a portion of the rear plate (211), the rotating member (2423a) can apply a force (e.g., pressure) to the rear plate (211) due to the contact. Due to the force applied by the rotating member (2423a) to the rear plate (211), at least a portion of the rear plate (211) can be separated from the bracket (e.g., the front plate (202)).

[0120] In the present embodiment and the following embodiments, the cross-section of the rotating member (2423a) is exemplified as being elliptical, but is not limited thereto. The cross-section of the rotating member (2423a) may have various shapes, such as a rectangle, a diamond, etc., where the distance from the rotation axis is not constant. According to one embodiment, the rotating member (2423a) may have various shapes as long as a force can be applied to the rear plate (211) according to the rotation of the rotating member (2423a).

[0121] According to one embodiment, the rotating member (2423a) can rotate around a rotation axis parallel to the first direction, and a first length extending in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction can be configured to be longer than a second length extending in a third direction perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction. As a result, the rotating member (2423a) can come into contact with the rear plate (211) as it rotates.

[0122] According to one embodiment, in order to minimize friction between the back plate (211) and the rotating member (2423a) and to prevent the back plate (211) from being damaged and / or deformed (e.g., bent, pressed) by the rotation of the rotating member (2423a), the cross section of the rotating member (2423a) may preferably be elliptical.

[0123] According to one embodiment, the distance from the rotation axis of the rotating member (2423a) to the printed circuit board (241) may be shorter than the distance between one end of the rotating member (2423a) and the rotation axis. Therefore, even though the rotating member (2423a) rotates, the printed circuit board (241) and the rotating member (2423a) may not come into contact. Accordingly, the contact between the printed circuit board (241) and the rotating member (2423a) may prevent force from being applied to the printed circuit board (241), thereby preventing the printed circuit board (241) from being damaged and / or deformed (e.g., bent or pressed).

[0124] FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view of an electronic device (101) showing before and after driving of a driving unit (242a) of an electronic device (101) according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0125] Referring to FIG. 8, as the driving unit (242a) is driven, the driving unit (242a) applies force to the rear plate (211), thereby separating the rear plate (211) from the bracket (e.g., the front plate (202)).

[0126] According to one embodiment, in order to miniaturize the electronic device (101), at least a portion of the connecting portion (2422a) and / or the rotating member (2423a) may be in contact with the rear plate (211) before driving the driving member (242a), but is not limited thereto, and the rotating member (2423a) and the rear plate (211) may be formed to be spaced apart from each other.

[0127] As the rotating member (2423a) rotates, the distance by which the rear plate (211) is separated can be referred to as the separation distance (h1).

[0128] According to one embodiment, a cross-section of the rotating member (2423a) may have an elliptical shape. The ellipse includes two foci, and the line segment connecting two points that are the same distance from the two foci is called the minor axis of the ellipse, and the line segment connecting two points that have the largest difference in distance from the two foci is called the major axis of the ellipse. In this case, half of the minor axis is called the minor radius, and half of the major axis is called the major radius.

[0129] According to one embodiment, the separation distance (h1) may vary depending on the rotation angle of the rotating member (2423a), and the maximum value of the separation distance (h1) may be the difference in length between the long radius and the short radius.

[0130] According to one embodiment, before the driving unit (242a) is driven, the major axis of the rotating member (2423a) may be parallel to the rear plate (211), and at this time, the separation distance (h1) may be a minimum value. In addition, when the driving unit (242a) is driven, the minor axis of the rotating member (2423a) may be parallel to the rear plate (211), and at this time, the separation distance (h1) may be a maximum value. According to one embodiment, in order for the rear plate (211) to be maximally separated from the bracket (e.g., the front plate (202)), the rotating member (2423a) may rotate 90 degrees from before the driving unit (242a) is driven.

[0131] In this case, the case where the separation distance (h1) is maximum is described as an example, but is not limited thereto, and even if the separation distance (h1) is not maximum, if the rear plate (211) can be separated from the electronic device (101), the driving unit (242a) can be stopped.

[0132] According to one embodiment, in order to increase the maximum value of the separation distance (h1), an ellipse having a high eccentricity may be used as the cross-section of the rotating member (2423a). When an ellipse having a high eccentricity is used as the cross-section of the rotating member (2423a), since the maximum value of the separation distance (h1) increases, it may be easy to separate the rear plate (211) from the electronic device (101). However, if the rear plate (211) can be separated from the electronic device (101), the cross-section of the rotating member (2423a) may have an elliptical shape having a low eccentricity.

[0133] The support member (243) is formed at one end of the driving unit (242a) so as to fix the driving unit (242a) to the printed circuit board (241).

[0134] In this example, when the rear plate (211) is separated from the bracket (e.g., the front plate (202)) by the rotating member (2423a), direct separation is exemplified, but is not limited thereto, and separation may be achieved through a fixing member (e.g., fixing member (245a) of FIG. 14) attached to the back surface of the rear plate (211).

[0135] FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view of an electronic device (101) including a buffer member (244) according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0136] Referring to FIG. 9, the rear plate (211) may further include a buffer member (244). The buffer member (244) may be attached to the rear surface of the rear plate (211) and may be configured to prevent damage and / or deformation (e.g., bending, pressing) of the rear plate (211). Accordingly, the buffer member (244) may be configured to come into contact with the rotating member (2423a) when the rotating member (2423a) rotates. In addition, the buffer member (244) may include polyethylene, a thermoplastic material, and / or a thermosetting material.

[0137] According to one embodiment, the buffer member (244) may be formed on the rotating member (2423a). The buffer member (244) may be formed on at least a portion of the rotating member (2423a), so that when the rotating member (2423a) rotates, the rear plate (211) may be configured to contact the buffer member (244) without contacting the rotating member (2423a).

[0138] Fig. 10 is a perspective view of an electronic device (101) showing a state before the driving unit (242b) of the electronic device (101) is driven according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. Fig. 11 is a perspective view of an electronic device (101) showing a state after the driving unit (242b) of the electronic device (101) is driven according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0139] Referring to FIGS. 10 and 11, the driving unit (242b) may include a motor (2421b), a connecting unit (2422b), and a sliding member (2423b).

[0140] The motor (2421b) can convert the electrical energy of the electronic device (101) into translational kinetic energy to move the sliding member (2423b) toward the rear plate (211), thereby applying force to the rear plate (211).

[0141] According to one embodiment, the magnitude of the force applied by the sliding member (2423b) to the rear plate (211) may vary depending on the translational kinetic energy of the motor (2421b). Accordingly, the user may set the translational kinetic energy of the motor (2421b) depending on the state of the rear plate (211), for example, the state of engagement with a bracket (e.g., front plate (202)) and the material of the rear plate (211).

[0142] The connecting portion (2422b) may be configured to connect the motor (2421b) and the sliding member (2423b), and may be configured to apply force to the rear plate (211) by moving the sliding member (2423b) in the direction of the rear plate (211) (e.g., in the direction from the front plate (202) toward the rear plate (211)) through the translational kinetic energy of the motor (2421b). In addition, the motor (2421b) may be formed at one end of the connecting portion (2422b), and the sliding member (2423b) may be formed at the other end.

[0143] The sliding member (2423b) is a configuration formed at one end of the connecting portion (2422b) and can move toward the rear plate (211) by the translational kinetic energy of the motor (2421b).

[0144] In the present embodiment and the following embodiments, the surface of the sliding member (2423b) that comes into contact with the rear plate (211) is described as being substantially parallel to the rear plate (211), but is not limited thereto. If the sliding member (2423b) applies force to the rear plate (211) according to the driving of the motor (2421b) to separate the rear plate (211) from the bracket (e.g., the front plate (202)), the sliding member (2423b) may not be parallel to the rear plate (211).

[0145] However, if the surface of the sliding member (2423b) that comes into contact with the rear plate (211) is substantially parallel to the rear plate (211), it may be easy to prevent the rear plate (211) from being damaged and / or deformed (e.g., bent, pressed).

[0146] FIG. 12 is a cross-sectional view of an electronic device (101) showing before and after driving of a driving unit (242b) of an electronic device (101) according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0147] Referring to Fig. 12, as the driving unit (242b) is driven, the sliding member (2423b) moves, and force can be applied to the rear plate (211) by the sliding member (2423b). As a result, the rear plate (211) can be separated from the bracket (e.g., the front plate (202)).

[0148] According to one embodiment, in order to miniaturize the electronic device (101), at least a portion of the sliding member (2423b) may be in contact with the rear plate (211) before the driving unit (242b) is driven, but is not limited thereto, and the sliding member (2423b) and the rear plate (211) may be formed to be spaced apart from each other.

[0149] The distance by which the rear plate (211) is separated by the movement of the sliding member (2423b) may be referred to as the separation distance (h2). In one embodiment, the maximum value of the separation distance (h2) may be equal to the length of the connecting portion (e.g., the length of the connecting portion (2422b) in the direction in which the sliding member (2423b) moves).

[0150] According to one embodiment, in order to increase the maximum value of the separation distance (h2), the length of the connecting portion (2422b) may be increased. When the length of the connecting portion (2422b) increases, the maximum value of the separation distance (h2) increases, making it easier to separate the battery (250) from the electronic device (101).

[0151] FIG. 13 is a cross-sectional view of an electronic device (101) including a buffer member (244) according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0152] Referring to FIG. 13, as described above, a buffer member (244) may be attached to the back surface of the rear plate (211), and may be configured to contact the sliding member (2423b) when the sliding member (2423b) moves as a configuration to prevent damage and / or deformation (e.g., bending, pressing) of the rear plate (211).

[0153] According to one embodiment, the buffer member (244) may be formed on the sliding member (2423b). The buffer member (244) may be formed on at least a portion of the sliding member (2423b), so that when the sliding member (2423b) moves, the rear plate (211) may not come into contact with the sliding member (2423b).

[0154] FIG. 14 is a perspective view of an electronic device (101) showing the driving state of a driving unit (242c) of an electronic device (101) according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0155] Referring to FIG. 14, the driving unit (242c) may include a motor (2421c) and a sliding member (2423c), and further, the electronic device (101) may further include a fixing member (245a).

[0156] The motor (2421c) may be configured to convert the electrical energy of the electronic device (101) into translational kinetic energy to move the sliding member (2423c) toward the fixed member (245a) and apply force to the fixed member (245a).

[0157] According to one embodiment, the magnitude of the force applied by the sliding member (2423c) to the fixed member (245a) may vary depending on the translational kinetic energy of the motor (2421c). Accordingly, the user may set the translational kinetic energy of the motor (2421c) depending on the state of the rear plate (211), for example, its engagement with a bracket (e.g., front plate (202)).

[0158] The sliding member (2423c) is a configuration formed at one end of the motor (2421c) and can move in the direction of the fixed member (245a) by the translational kinetic energy of the motor (2421c).

[0159] In the present embodiment and the following embodiments, the direction in which the sliding member (2423c) moves is described as being substantially parallel to the rear plate (211), but is not limited thereto. If the sliding member (2423c) can apply force to the fixed member (245a) to separate the rear plate (211) from the bracket (e.g., the front plate (202)) by driving the motor (2421c), the direction in which the sliding member (2423c) moves may not be parallel to the rear plate (211).

[0160] According to one embodiment, the fixing member (245a) is attached to the back surface of the rear plate (211) and can move in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the sliding member (2423c) moves. For this movement, the fixing member (245a) may have a pentagonal shape as shown in the drawing.

[0161] According to one embodiment, the fixed member (245a) moves in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the sliding member (2423c) moves, and when viewed in the second direction (e.g., the Y-axis direction), the shape of the fixed member (245a) is described as being pentagonal, but is not limited thereto. According to one embodiment, if the rear plate (211) can be separated due to the force applied from the sliding member (2423c), the fixed member (245a) can move in various directions and have various shapes.

[0162] According to one embodiment, the fixed member (245a) is used together with the sliding member (2423c) of the present invention, but even when the above-described rotating member (2423a) and sliding member (2423b) are utilized, the fixed member (245a) may be used as long as the driving force of the driving unit (242) is transmitted to the fixed member (245a) to separate the rear plate (211).

[0163] FIG. 15 is a cross-sectional view of an electronic device (101) showing before and after driving of a driving unit (242c) of an electronic device (101) according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0164] Referring to Fig. 15, as the driving unit (242c) is driven, the sliding member (2423c) moves, and force can be applied to the rear plate (211) by the sliding member (2423c). As a result, the rear plate (211) can be separated from the bracket (e.g., the front plate (202)).

[0165] According to one embodiment, the sliding member (2423c) can slide in a first direction (e.g., in the X-axis direction) to come into contact with the fixed member (245a). The sliding member (2423c) can transmit force to the fixed member (245a) through the contact, and the transmitted force can be transmitted to the rear plate (211).

[0166] According to one embodiment, the fixed member (245a) can transmit the force transmitted from the sliding member (2423c) in a third direction (e.g., the Z-axis direction) that is perpendicular to the direction in which the sliding member (2423c) slides. In order to transmit the force transmitted from the sliding member (2423c) to the rear plate (211) located in the third direction (e.g., the -Z-axis direction), at least a portion of the surface of the fixed member (245a) that comes into contact with the sliding member (2423c) can be formed to be inclined with respect to the third direction (e.g., the Z-axis direction).

[0167] In the present embodiment and the following embodiments, the fixing member (245a, the fixing members (245b, 245c) of FIGS. 18 and 20 to be described later are configured such that at least a portion of the force-applying surface is inclined relative to the direction in which the force is applied, but the present invention is not limited thereto. If the rear plate (211) can be separated by applying force, the force-applying surface can be perpendicular to the direction in which the force is applied, such as the fixing member (245d) of FIG. 21 to be described later.

[0168] According to one embodiment, in order to miniaturize the electronic device (101), before the fixing member (245a, fixing members (245b, 245c, 245d) of FIGS. 18, 20, and 21 to be described later) is driven, at least a portion of the fixing member (245a, fixing members (245b, 245c, 245d) of FIGS. 18, 20, and 21 to be described later) may come into contact with the front plate (202), but is not limited thereto, and the fixing member (245a, fixing members (245b, 245c, 245d) of FIGS. 18, 20, and 21 to be described later) and the front plate (202) may be formed to be spaced apart from each other.

[0169] The distance by which the rear plate (211) is separated by the movement of the sliding member (2423c) may be referred to as the separation distance (h3). According to one embodiment, the maximum value of the separation distance (h3) may be equal to the thickness of the sliding member (2423c) (e.g., the length of the sliding member (2423c) in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the sliding member (2423c) moves).

[0170] According to one embodiment, the thickness of the sliding member (2423c) may be increased to increase the maximum value of the separation distance (h3). When the thickness of the sliding member (2423c) is increased, the maximum value of the separation distance (h3) increases, making it easier to separate the rear plate (211) from the electronic device (101).

[0171] FIG. 16 is a cross-sectional view of an electronic device (101) according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0172] Referring to FIG. 16, the driving unit (242) may be placed on a printed circuit board (241), and the driving units (242) may be placed spaced apart from each other on the printed circuit board (241).

[0173] According to one embodiment, when the driving unit (242) is positioned at a location where the bonding force between the housing and the rear plate (211) generated by the adhesive member (270) is weak, it may be easy to separate the rear plate (211). According to one embodiment, the adhesive member (270) may be formed in a shape corresponding to a corner of the electronic device (101), and in this case, the driving unit (242) may be formed on a corner adjacent to the battery (250) of the printed circuit board (241). This may make it easy to separate the rear plate (211) from the housing.

[0174] According to one embodiment, the driving unit (242) may be symmetrically arranged (e.g., arranged at all vertices) on the printed circuit board (241). This allows the driving unit (242) to apply a force to the rear plate (211) in a balanced manner. When the driving unit (242) applies a force to the rear plate (211) in a balanced manner, it may be easy to prevent the rear plate (211) from being damaged and / or deformed (e.g., bent or pressed).

[0175] FIG. 17 is a cross-sectional view of an electronic device (101) showing before and after driving of a driving unit (242) of an electronic device (101) according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0176] Referring to FIG. 17, the electronic device (101) may include a magnetic member (M) and a magnetic induction member (E) for separation of the rear plate (211).

[0177] The magnetic induction member (E) may be a configuration attached to a bracket (e.g., front plate (202)) and may form an electromagnetic force between it and the magnetic member (M), thereby applying a force to the rear plate (211).

[0178] In one embodiment, the magnetic induction member (E) may be, for example, an electromagnet. Accordingly, since the current of the magnetic induction member (E) may cause malfunctions in surrounding electronic components and / or electrical components, the magnetic induction member (E) may further be provided with a shielding structure to block or reduce electromagnetic waves.

[0179] The magnetic member (M) may be configured to receive force from the magnetic induction member (E) and may be configured to be attached to the rear plate (211).

[0180] In one embodiment, when a current is applied to the magnetic induction member (E), a force may be generated between the magnetic member (M) and the magnetic induction member (E), which may be a repulsive force due to magnetism. As a result, the rear plate (211) may be separated from the bracket (e.g., the front plate (202)).

[0181] The distance by which the rear plate (211) is separated due to the repulsive force generated between the magnetic member (M) and the magnetic induction member (E) can be referred to as the separation distance (h4).

[0182] Therefore, the separation distance (h4) may be proportional to the strength of the repulsive force generated between the magnetic member (M) and the magnetic induction member (E), and the stronger the repulsive force, the easier it may be to separate the rear plate (211).

[0183] However, to strengthen the repulsive force, a strong current must be applied to the magnetic induction element (E), which may cause malfunctions in surrounding electronic and / or electrical components. This creates a stronger shielding structure, which can block or reduce electromagnetic waves.

[0184] FIG. 18 is a cross-sectional view of an electronic device (101) showing before and after driving of a driving unit (242) of an electronic device (101) according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0185] Referring to FIG. 18, in an electronic device (101) having a waterproof structure, the electronic device (101) further includes an external pin (280), and the external pin (280) can be used to separate the rear plate (211) from the bracket (e.g., the front plate (202)).

[0186] In one embodiment, the rear plate (211) can be separated from the bracket (e.g., the front plate (202)) by applying force to the fixing member (245b) by movement of the external pin (280).

[0187] The external pin (280) may include an external pin body (281), a first protruding member (282), and a second protruding member (283), and may be, for example, an ejector pin for physically separating components within an electronic device.

[0188] The outer pin body (281) may be configured to apply force to the outer pin (280) from the outside, and a first protruding member (282) and a second protruding member (283) may be formed. As force is applied from the outside to the outer pin body (281), the outer pin (280) may move in a direction parallel to the rear plate (211).

[0189] The first protruding member (282) may be formed to extend from one end of the outer pin body (281) and may be configured to contact the fixing member (245b) due to a force applied from the outside to the outer pin body (281). As a result, the first protruding member (282) may apply a force to the fixing member (245b) to separate the rear plate (211) from the bracket (e.g., the front plate (202)).

[0190] According to one embodiment, the first protruding member (282) can slide in a first direction (e.g., in the X-axis direction) by an externally applied force, thereby coming into contact with the fixed member (245b). The first protruding member (282) can transmit force to the fixed member (245b) through the contact, and the transmitted force can be transmitted to the rear plate (211).

[0191] According to one embodiment, the fixed member (245b) can transmit a force transmitted from the outside through the first protruding member (282) in a third direction (e.g., Z-axis direction) that is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the first protruding member (282). In order to transmit the force transmitted from the outside by the first protruding member (282) to the rear plate (211) located in the third direction (e.g., -Z-axis direction), at least a portion of the surface of the fixed member (245b) that comes into contact with the first protruding member (282) can be formed to be inclined with respect to the third direction (e.g., Z-axis direction).

[0192] In this example, the first protruding member (282) is in contact with the fixed member (245b), but is not limited thereto, and may directly contact the rear plate (211) to apply force, thereby separating the rear plate (211) from the bracket (e.g., the front plate (202)).

[0193] The second protruding member (283) is configured to contact a bracket (e.g., front plate (202)) and may serve as a guide to allow the outer pin body (281) and the first protruding member (282) to move easily. However, the second protruding member (283) may be omitted.

[0194] According to one embodiment, the distance by which the rear plate (211) is separated by the movement of the external pin (280) may be referred to as the separation distance (h5). In addition, the separation distance (h5) may increase as the force transmitted from the outside to the fixing member (245b) by the external pin (280) increases.

[0195] FIG. 19 is a drawing showing a part of an electronic device (101) according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0196] Referring to FIG. 19, an electronic device (101) to which a waterproof structure is not applied may further include a cut cover (291).

[0197] The cut cover (291) may be configured to include a cut area, for example, a cross-shaped cut in the center. Through the cut area, a user can insert an external tool (e.g., a shaft (292) of FIGS. 20 and 21) into the electronic device (101). This allows the user to easily insert an external tool (e.g., a shaft (292) of FIGS. 20 and 21) into the electronic device (101) without having to detach the cut cover (291).

[0198] In addition, the cut cover (291) can provide dustproof and / or waterproof functions to the electronic device (101) depending on the properties of the cut cover (291) (e.g., material of the cut cover (291) and whether it is coated).

[0199] FIG. 20 is a cross-sectional view of an electronic device (101) showing before and after driving of a driving unit (242) of an electronic device (101) according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 21 is a cross-sectional view of an electronic device (101) showing before and after driving of a driving unit (242) of an electronic device (101) according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0200] Referring to FIGS. 20 and 21, an electronic device (101) to which a waterproof structure is not applied can separate the rear plate (211) from a bracket (e.g., front plate (202)) using a cut cover (291) and a shaft (292).

[0201] According to one embodiment, the shaft (292) can be inserted into the cut area of ​​the cut cover (291) by an externally applied force. In addition, the shaft (292) can apply force to the fixing members (245c, 245d) by the externally applied force. The shaft (292) can slide in a direction substantially parallel to the first direction (e.g., X-axis direction) by the externally applied force, thereby coming into contact with the fixing members (245c, 245d). As a result, the rear plate (211) can be separated from the bracket (e.g., front plate (202)).

[0202] According to one embodiment, the shaft (292) guided into the cut area and inserted into the electronic device (101) may be configured to contact the fixing members (245c, 245d). As a result, the shaft (292) can apply force to the fixing members (245c, 245d) to separate the rear plate (211) from the bracket (e.g., the front plate (202)).

[0203] Referring to FIGS. 20 and 21, the shaft (292) is shown as an example of contact with the fixed member (245c, 245d), but is not limited thereto, and may directly contact the rear plate (211) to apply force, thereby separating the rear plate (211) from the bracket (e.g., the front plate (202)).

In order to transmit the force transmitted from the outside through the shaft (292) to the rear plate (211) located in the third direction (e.g., -Z-axis direction), at least a portion of the surface of the fixed member (245c) that comes into contact with the shaft (292) can be formed to be inclined with respect to the third direction (e.g., Z-axis direction).

[0205] Referring to FIG. 21, the fixing member (245d) can transmit a force transmitted from the outside through the shaft (292) in a third direction (e.g., Z-axis direction) that is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the shaft (292) and an inclined direction. According to one embodiment, the fixing member (245d) contacts the cut cover (291), and a surface of the fixing member (245d) that contacts the shaft (292) can be perpendicular to the sliding direction of the shaft (292). According to one embodiment, since the force is applied to the fixing member (245d) by the shaft (292) and is supported by at least a portion of the front plate (202), the fixing member (245d) rotates and translates, and thereby the rear plate (211) attached to the fixing member (245d) can be separated from the electronic device (101).

[0206] As described above, the arrangement and shape of the fixed members (245c, 245d) are not limited to the present embodiment, and may have various shapes and arrangements as long as the rear plate (211) can be separated from the bracket (e.g., the front plate (202)) according to the movement of the shaft (292).
