Description

The body of the electronic device

technical field

The present invention relates to a body, and in particular to a body of an electronic device.

Background technique

Generally speaking, the body of the electronic device is composed of an upper cover and a lower cover. In this way, the electronic parts arranged in the electronic device can be arranged in the inner space formed by the upper cover and the lower cover, and the body can effectively prevent the electronic parts in the electronic device from being damaged by external force, so that the electronic device can function normally.

Fig. 1A is an exploded view of a known body, and Fig. 1B is a side view of the body of Fig. 1A. Please refer to FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B at the same time, the known body 100 includes an upper shell 110 and a lower shell 120 . In the prior art, a plurality of locking tenons 130 are disposed on the side of the inner wall of the upper casing 110 . Similarly, in the prior art, a plurality of sockets 140 corresponding to the latches 130 are also provided on the side of the inner wall of the lower housing 120 . In the known technology, each tenon 130 is adapted to be inserted into the corresponding socket 140 (please refer to FIG. 1C, which shows a schematic diagram of the tenon in FIG. The case 110 and the lower case 120 may be engaged with each other.

Although the original design dimensions of the upper case 110 and the lower case 120 are the same, because the upper case 110 and the lower case 120 will be affected by process tolerances during the manufacturing process, the resulting upper case 110 and the lower case The lengths and widths of the 120 are not the same, and part of the tenons 130 arranged on the upper casing 110 cannot effectively align with the sockets 140 arranged on the lower casing. In this way, when the assembler intends to assemble the upper case 110 to the lower case 120, the plurality of latches 130 partially disposed on the upper case 110 cannot be completely aligned with the corresponding sockets 140, resulting in partial latches 130 cannot be inserted into the corresponding socket 140 , and the upper case 110 is not easily engaged with the lower case 120 .

Based on the above, if the assembler forcefully inserts some of the latches 130 that cannot be fully aligned into the corresponding sockets 140 (please refer to FIG. 1D , which shows that the upper shell and the lower shell of FIG. rear side view), since the length or width of the upper case 110 and the lower case 120 are not the same (the length of the upper case 110 in FIG. The tenon 130 that cannot be completely aligned is inserted into the corresponding socket 140, so the upper casing 110 and the lower casing 120 are prone to deformation (the upper casing 110 shown in FIG. The surface of the body 100 is raised, thereby affecting the assembly quality of the body 100 and the appearance of the electronic device. In addition, inserting the tenon 130 into the corresponding socket 140 with improper external force will easily break the tenon 130 or cause damage to the socket 140 , reducing the structural reliability of the body 100 .
