Cover structure

technical field

The invention relates to a cover structure, in particular, to a cover structure installed on an electronic device.

Background technique

With the development of the information industry, the use of various electronic devices has already spread to users of different ages. At the same time, in response to the development trend of electronic products, such as notebook computers (NB) or personal digital assistants (PDA) with powerful data Electronic devices with processing power and portability have become an indispensable right-hand man for modern people.

Taking a notebook computer as an example, in order to strengthen and expand the functions of the notebook computer, it is generally necessary to preset many connection sockets such as USB or other electrical connections and information on the periphery of the main body of the notebook computer. The input or output port of the transmission, which corresponds to the notebook computer for the outside world to connect with the notebook computer through these input/output ports, it can be independently preset on an additional cover with many corresponding to these input/output ports. The opening of the output end, and the additional cover is generally made separately from the main casing structure of the notebook computer, and an opening corresponding to the additional cover is reserved on the main casing, so that through the The corresponding buckle parts on the casing and the additional cover are used to subsequently assemble the additional cover on the main body casing of the notebook computer in a buckle manner.

However, when assembling the additional cover on the main body casing of the notebook computer in a buckling manner in the aforementioned tradition, it is often due to the specification design or dimensional error of the buckle on the additional cover or the main casing. Gaps or even edge warping occur when joining each other, which not only affects the appearance of the product, but also easily leads to the intrusion of external pollutants, seriously affecting the quality and reliability of the product.

Therefore, how to provide an electronic device such as a notebook computer when assembling an additional cover to avoid gaps, edge warping, etc. when being joined to each other due to specification design or dimensional manufacturing errors, resulting in poor product appearance and external pollutants Intrusion and other issues are indeed urgent issues for this related research and development field.

Contents of the invention

In view of the above existing disadvantages, an object of the present invention is to provide a cover structure to avoid problems such as gaps, edge warping and poor product appearance caused by specification design or dimensional manufacturing errors.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a cover structure that can be tightly closed to prevent the intrusion of external pollutants and improve product quality and reliability.

In order to achieve the above and other objects, the present invention provides a cover structure, which is used to be installed on the main body casing of the electronic device to cover the opening formed in the electronic device. The cover structure includes: a main body; The first fastener on the main body, the main body casing of the electronic device is provided with a second fastener corresponding to the opening around, so that the first and second fasteners can be combined to limit the cover structure relative to the main body The displacement of the shell, wherein, the first clamping member is a T-shaped retaining wall or a card slot, and the second clamping member is a card slot matching the T-shaped retaining wall or a T-shaped retaining wall matching the card slot; The heat-melt column on the main body is provided with a heat-melt hole corresponding to its opening on the main body casing of the electronic device, so that the heat-melt column passed through the cover structure passes through the heat-melt hole of the main body casing and is fixed by heat fusion , so as to effectively fix the cover structure on the main casing of the electronic device.

The electronic device can be a portable electronic device such as a notebook computer or a personal digital assistant. A plurality of openings corresponding to the input/output ends of the electronic device are provided for the electronic device to be electrically connected to the outside world and input/output for information transmission.

Ideally, after the T-shaped retaining wall is inserted into the card slot, the displacement of the cover structure relative to the main body casing of the electronic device is limited, and at the same time, the heat-melt column of the cover structure is welded to the heat-melt hole, thereby effectively The cover structure is fixed on the main casing of the electronic device.

Compared with the prior art, when the cover is assembled to the main body casing of the electronic device in a snap-fit manner, it is often due to errors in specification design or dimensional manufacturing of the snap-fits on the cover or the main casing, when they are engaged with each other. Gaps and warped edges cause poor product appearance, external pollutants intrusion, etc., which seriously affect the quality and reliability of the product. In the present invention, the heat-melt column and the first clamping member are preset on the main body of the cover structure, and at the same time The electronic device is preset with a relative hot-melt hole and a second fastener so that the displacement of the cover structure relative to the main casing can be limited through the combination of the first and second fasteners, and at the same time, the cover structure can The hot-melt column passes through the hot-melt hole of the main casing and is fixed by hot-melting, so as to effectively fix the cover structure on the main casing of the electronic device.

Detailed ways

The implementation of the present invention will be described below through specific specific examples, and those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and functions of the present invention from the content described in this specification.

Please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a schematic view illustrating the assembly of the cover structure of the present invention on the main casing of the electronic device.

The electronic device can be a notebook computer, or a portable electronic device such as a personal digital assistant, and the cover structure 1 is an additional cover relatively independent of the main casing 2 of the electronic device. The cover structure 1 It is used to be installed on the main casing 2 of the electronic device to cover the opening 20 formed in the main casing of the electronic device, wherein the cover structure 1 is provided with a plurality of openings corresponding to the input/output ports of the USB interface 13, used as an input/output terminal for electrical connection and information transmission between the electronic device and the outside world.

Please refer to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 , which are an exploded view showing that the cover structure of the present invention is assembled in the main casing of the electronic device and an internal view after assembly. The cover structure 1 includes: a main body 10 ; The first clip 11 on the top of the electronic device is provided with a second clip 21 corresponding to its opening on the main body casing 2 of the electronic device, so that the first and second clips 11, 21 can be combined to limit the cover structure 1 relative to the displacement of the main body casing 2; the heat-melt column 12 provided on the main body 10, and a heat-melt hole 22 corresponding to its opening is provided on the main body casing 2 of the electronic device, so that through the cover structure The heat-melt column 12 of 1 passes through the heat-melt hole 22 of the main casing 2 and is fixed by heat-melting, so as to effectively fix the cover structure 1 on the main casing 2 of the electronic device.

The first fastening member 11 provided on the cover structure 1 can be, for example, a T-shaped retaining wall, and the second fastening member 21 provided on the main body casing 2 of the electronic device is a slot matching the T-shaped retaining wall, and Guide parts 211 are provided on both sides of the slot for the T-shaped retaining wall to slide into the slot, so that the T-shaped retaining wall is fastened to the guide parts 211 on both sides of the slot to restrict the cover The structure 1 is displaced relative to the main casing 2 of the electronic device.
