Description

Electronic device fixing structure

The present invention relates to an electronic device fixing structure, and in particular to an electronic device fixing structure designed for screwless assembly of a notebook computer.

With the development of mobile information, information products such as laptops and mobile phones have become common communication tools between people. In particular, laptops have good information processing functions and are highly mobile, making them convenient tools for business communication, information exchange, discussion, presentation, etc.

In the laptop manufacturing industry, the four sides of a laptop after it is opened are usually called side A, side B, side C, and side D. Side A is the upper shell of the laptop after it is closed, and usually has the laptop's brand logo; side B is the side where the laptop screen is located; side C is the laptop keyboard side, which is the side with the palm rest and touchpad; side D is the bottom of the laptop, which is the side where the heat dissipation holes and battery are located.

When assembling the C part (keyboard component) and the D part (bottom shell component) of existing laptops, the locking and fixing method is mostly screws plus elastic hooks, which is inconvenient during maintenance and disassembly. Tools (suction cups, pry bars, and twisters) are required to assist in disassembly. The large number of screws also affects the overall aesthetics of the appearance, and the work efficiency is low.

The present invention provides an electronic device fixing structure, which aims to reduce the use of screws and the time of assembly and disassembly by eliminating the method of fixing the bottom shell components with screws and using hooks and slides for disassembly and assembly.

The present invention discloses an electronic device fastening structure, which is used to fasten a first shell and a second shell of an electronic device to each other, wherein the electronic device fastening structure comprises: a fastening moving assembly, which is arranged on the first shell and is used to limit the relative position of the first shell and the second shell, and the fastening moving assembly further comprises: a positioning member, which is fixedly arranged on a bottom surface of the first shell, and the positioning member comprises a limiting screw hole, a supporting column, and at least one accommodating a holding member rotatably disposed on a pivot axis of the first housing to selectively be located at a first position or a second position, the holding member comprising a through hole, a force-bearing portion, and a driving portion; a movable member disposed in the receiving grooves and horizontally moving relative to the positioning member, the movable member comprising a push plate, the push plate is pushed by the force-bearing portion to move the movable member, an interference portion, a limiting slide groove, and a protrusion; an elastic member, one end of which is fixed to the support A support column, the other end of which is fixed to the interference portion to interfere with and limit the maximum moving distance of the movable part; a first stop body, one end of which is fixedly arranged on a side surface of the second shell body, and the other end of which has a convex rib to engage with the protrusion; and a second stop body, one end of which is fixedly arranged on the side surface of the second shell body and adjacent to the first stop body, and the other end of which is a flat plate structure; a plurality of clamping members, fixedly arranged on the first shell body; and a plurality of hook members, relative to the clamping members The first housing is fixedly arranged on the second housing so that the second housing and the first housing are mutually locked; when the holding member is in the first position, the first housing is locked with the protrusion so that the locking members and the hook members are mutually locked; when the holding member is in the second position, the push plate moves horizontally so that the protrusion is separated from the first housing, and the second housing is pushed vertically by the protrusion so that the locking members and the hook members are released from the locking.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned electronic device is but not limited to a laptop computer.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the first shell is the keyboard surface of the laptop computer, that is, the surface with the palm rest and the touch panel, and the second shell is the bottom surface of the laptop computer, that is, the surface where the heat dissipation holes and the battery are located.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the first housing further includes an opening for an external tool to extend into and control the rotation of the retaining member.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned limiting screw hole is combined with the limiting slide groove through a limiting screw, so that the movable part moves horizontally accordingly.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the head diameter of the above-mentioned limit screw is larger than the diameter of the limit slide groove.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the pivot axis is passed through the through hole, so that the holder can pivot between the first position or the second position with the pivot axis as the center.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned protrusion further includes a locking portion for locking with the protruding rib of the first gear body.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned protrusion further includes a first chamfer and a recessed structure. When the retaining member rotates from the first position to the second position, the second gear body moves along the first chamfer to push the second housing. The retaining member is continuously pushed to fix the second gear body at the position of the recessed structure.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned protrusion further includes a second chamfer. When the retaining member rotates from the second position to the first position, the first gear body is reset along the second chamfer and engages with the protrusion.

The effect of the present invention is that an external tool such as a card ejection pin (PIN pin) acts on the retaining member in the buckle moving assembly, so that the retaining member can be selectively positioned at different positions, thereby limiting the movement of the second shell relative to the first shell, and through the buckle disassembly of the clamping member and the hook member, the use of screws and the time required for assembly and disassembly are effectively reduced, greatly improving the cost of money and time.
