Description

Engagement structure and electronic device

technical field

The present invention relates to an electronic device, in particular, the engaging structure of the electronic device has conductive contacts for directly charging the electronic components installed in the electronic device.

Background technique

At present, the power used for the operation of the mobile phone comes from the battery arranged in the body of the mobile phone. In order to meet the needs of most users, the appearance of the current mobile phone is developing towards the trend of being light, thin, short and small. At present, the appearance of common mobile phone batteries is mostly a flat rectangular body, and the early cylindrical mobile phone batteries have been completely eliminated.

And because the function of mobile phone is very powerful at present, except basic calling function, also included multimedia function (such as: film playing, MP3 playing...etc.), photographing function, satellite positioning function...etc. in addition. However, the above-mentioned additional functions consume a lot of power, and often use for a short period of time, and the mobile phone will run out of power and cause the phone to shut down. Therefore, most users usually carry two or even more than three batteries in case of emergency. In addition, when the battery is out of power, it is taken for granted that it needs to be charged.

At present, the common mobile phone battery charging methods can be roughly divided into two types. The first type directly uses the power cord to plug into the indoor power socket, and then connects the other end to the mobile phone, and directly charges the battery in the mobile phone (generally colloquially called: travel charger). The second is to place the spare battery on a charger (generally called as a charger in colloquial terms) for charging. And then the backup battery is fully charged and carried with you, so that it can be replaced when the battery in the mobile phone is out of power.

However, since you need to prepare another spare battery when charging with the charger, it is a little troublesome. Although it is more convenient to use a travel charger, it will be more convenient for the user if the mobile phone can be directly charged on the charger without disassembling the case of the mobile phone.

As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 4 , the steps of engaging the housing 34 with the seat body 32 are as follows. Firstly, after the engaging end 341 of the housing 34 is engaged with the connecting end 321 of the base 32 , then the engaging hole 343 on the housing 34 and the engaging structure 36 on the base 32 are engaged with each other. At this time, the casing 34 can be firmly engaged with the base body 32 and cannot be easily disengaged from the base body 32 .

In addition, please refer to FIG. 5 , which is a cross-sectional view of the housing 34 in FIG. 4 engaged with the base 32 . As shown in FIG. 5 , when the engaging hole 343 of the housing 34 engages with the engaging structure 36 on the seat body 32 , the engaging portion 3611 of the engaging structure 36 will engage with the engaging portion 3611 of the housing 34 . and the engaging portion 3611 of the engaging structure 36 is fixed in the engaging hole 343 .

In particular, the engaging portion 3611 has a thickness M, and the housing 34 has a thickness C. In this embodiment, the thickness M of the engaging portion 3611 is greater than the thickness C of the casing 34 for engaging the casing 34 . In particular, the thickness M of the engaging portion 3611 and the thickness C of the housing 34 are not limited to this embodiment, and can be determined according to user design preferences (for example, the thickness M of the engaging portion 3611 can be equal to the thickness C) of the housing 34 .

The steps of disengaging the engaging portion 3611 from the engaging hole 343 and related details will be further explained below.
