ELECTRONIC APPARATUS

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of electronic apparatus.

[0002] With the rapid development of technology, electronic products(or electronic apparatuses) have become an indispensable part of modern society, greatly enriching people the way we live and work. From smartphones and tablets to laptops, portable gaming consoles, and smart homes, there are many kinds of equipment and electronic products with different functions. They are known for their powerful data processing capabilities, convenient communication functions, and rich entertainment experience, winning the favor of consumers around the world. These electronic products not only meet people's daily communication needs, but also promote the rapid dissemination of information, improve work efficiency, and enrich leisure life.

[0003] Despite the increasing sophistication and portability of electronic products, a cable, for example a power cord often becomes a major problem for users in daily use. Power cords are not only of different lengths but also often lack a unified storage scheme. The mess after use will not only affect the appearance but also may cause safety hazards. Especially for those who often need to carry electronic products out, the storage of power cords is a problem that cannot be ignored. Traditional storage methods, such as the use of straps, winding into loops, or the use of storage bags, can solve the problem of scattered power cords to a certain extent, having the disadvantages of cumbersome operation and easy damage to power cords. In addition, some electronic products are equipped with power cords of various specifications, which further increases the difficulty and complexity of storage. Therefore, a simple and efficient power cord storage scheme has become an urgent technical problem to be solved in the current electronic product design.

[0004] In an embodiment, an electronic apparatus for use on a contact surface is disclosed. The electronic apparatus comprises a shell having a receiving space with an opening. The electronic apparatus further comprises a storage cover covering the opening and being rotatably arranged on the opening.

[0005] In an embodiment, a cable is accommodated inside the opening. the storage cover comprises a first surface supported on the contact surface when the storage cover is closed, and a second surface supported on the contact surface when the storage cover is opened.

Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the concept of the embodiments to one of ordinary skill in the art. In the following description, well-known functions or constructions are not described in detail because they would obscure the embodiments with unnecessary detail, and like reference numerals in the drawings denote like or similar elements throughout the specification.

[0036] An electronic apparatus for use on a contact surface comprises a shell having a receiving space. The receiving space has an opening and the opening is covered with a storage cover, which is configured to be rotatably covered on the opening. It should be noted that the storage cover only means a lid covered on the receiving space, and the storage cover itself may or may not have a storage function. The storage cover comprises a first surface and a second surface, wherein the first surface is supported on the contact surface in the closed state and the second surface is supported on the contact surface in the opened state.

[0037] A cable is stored inside the opening. For example, the cable may be a power cord. A power cord is stored inside the opening. A power cord can provide power to the electronic apparatus, transmitting current from a power source (such as an outlet, power bank, or computer USB port) to the battery or circuit inside the apparatus, and ensuring that the electronic apparatus can continue to operate. A cable of the application can also have the function of a data cable, which can be used to transfer data, such as transferring photos, music, videos, and other files from a computer to a mobile phone or other mobile apparatus, or to achieve file sharing between different apparatus.

[0038] The receiving space is provided with a plurality of holding parts for fixing the power cord. When a power cord is stored inside, the holding parts can make the power cord in place, and can also determine the direction of the power cord extension. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, some of the holding parts are placed in the first direction, and at least one fixed holding part near each end of the receiving space is placed in the second direction, and the second direction intersects with the first direction.

[0039] The storage cover can include a wire outlet hole, and the holding parts placed in the second direction in the holding parts are configured to be tilted in the direction of the wire outlet hole so that the power cord extends towards the position of the outlet hole. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the wire outlet hole of the storage cover is arranged at a position close to the middle of the side edge of the storage cover. The second direction can be configured to face the middle of the side of the storage cover.

[0040] The storage cover is attached to a shaft connecting part by a shaft, and the shaft connecting part can be set on the shell or in the receiving space, or part of the shaft connecting part can be set on the shell and part of the shaft connecting part can be set on the receiving space. The shaft connecting part can be a first shaft connecting part and a second shaft connecting part, respectively arranged on both sides of the shaft.

[0041] The shaft connecting part further comprises an intermediate shaft hole arranged in the middle of the receiving space. The intermediate shaft hole comprises first and second walls extending upwards, and a shaft entrance arranged between the first wall and the second wall for the shaft to be inserted. The first and second walls are configured to align the center of the shaft entrance with the center of the intermediate shaft hole at a certain angle with the vertical direction.

[0042] The storage cover comprises a first surface and a second surface, and the first surface comprises a long first rubber foot. When the storage cover is covered on the opening, the first rubber foot can be supported on the contact surface. The area of the first rubber foot can be basically equal to the area of the first surface.

[0043] The second surface of the storage cover may comprise two-second rubber feet that are arranged on both sides of the second surface. When the storage cover is fully open, the second rubber feet are supported on the contact surface. In some embodiments, the second rubber feet may comprise an inclined surface with which the second rubber feet are in complete contact with the contact surface when the storage cover is fully opened. Angled second rubber feet elevate one edge of the electronics to enhance heat dissipation. In some embodiments, the second surface of the storage cover may comprise an inclined surface, and the second rubber feet are set parallel to the second surface of the storage cover. It also achieves the effect that the second rubber feet are in full contact with the contact surface when the storage cover is fully opened.

[0044] The shell is configured with a curved surface to avoid interfering with each other when the storage cover is rotating. The sidewalls of the receiving may have a curved surface to avoid interfering with each other when the storage cover is rotating. The curved surface is configured to protrude towards the shell or the receiving space. When the storage cover is rotating, the edge of the storage cover does not interfere with the curved surface.

[0045] The working principle of the optimal embodiment of the present invention is introduced below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
