Electronic device combination
The invention relates to an electronic device combination, in particular to an electronic device combination provided with an external module holding structure.
At present, many electronic devices, such as personal computers, are provided with a plurality of sockets for providing users with the connection of external modules to expand external devices or to generate new functions. The conventional external module is directly inserted into the slot in the socket to electrically connect with the electronic device. In order for the external module to work normally, the external module allows only a small amount of offset error when inserted into the slot. Moreover, it is always difficult to avoid vibrations of different sizes when the computer is used or during the handling process, so the external module often fails to operate normally due to offset or looseness.
In view of this, it is necessary to provide an electronic device combination with an external module holding structure.
An electronic device combination includes an external module and an electronic device. The side end of the external module is provided with a notch, and the upper end of the external module is provided with a plurality of grooves. The electronic device includes a housing. The housing includes an inner sidewall, an outer sidewall, and a slot formed between the inner sidewall and the outer sidewall. The slot is for receiving the external module. The upper end of the outer side wall is provided with a plurality of hooks corresponding to the grooves. One end of the slot is provided with a retaining shaft corresponding to the notch, and two ends of the retaining shaft are respectively connected to the inner side wall and the outer side wall.
The electronic device combination of the present invention can accurately position and install the external module, and can prevent the external module from jumping or shifting due to vibration.
Referring to Figure 1, the electronic device combination of the present invention is disclosed. The electronic device combination of the present invention comprises an electronic device and a long strip-shaped external module 20. The electronic device includes a housing 10.
The housing 10 includes an outer sidewall 12, an inner sidewall 14 and a slot 15 formed between the outer sidewall 12 and the inner sidewall 14. In the present embodiment, the external module 20 is an external circuit board. The outer side wall 12 and the inner side wall 14 are respectively provided with a plurality of openings 17 corresponding to the external components on the external module 20. After the external module 20 is received in the slot 15, the opening 17 of the inner side wall 14 and the outer side avoiding 12 respectively and the electronic components housed in the casing 10 and disposed outside the casing 10 (not Figure) Electrical connection. In other embodiments, the external module 20 can also be an interface card electrically connected to the electronic components in the housing 10 through a connector component disposed in the slot 15 .
Referring to FIG. 2 together, the outer side wall 12 is further provided with a plurality of buckles 122. The clips 122 are located in the openings 17. The fasteners 122 include an elongated support portion 124 fixedly coupled to the outer sidewall 12 and a hook 126 formed at the end of the support portion 124. The hooks 126 are used to snap the external module 20 into the slot 15. Since the fasteners 122 are fixedly connected to the side wall 12 only by the support portion 124 and both sides are suspended, the fasteners 122 have a certain elasticity.
The outer side wall 12 is further provided with a plurality of ribs 128 extending from the support portion 124 of the fasteners 122 to the lower end of the outer side wall 12 to increase the strength of the support portions 124.
Referring to FIG. 1, the slot 15 is closed at one end and open at the other end. The slot 15 is provided with a cylindrical retaining shaft 152 at the closed end. Both ends of the retaining shaft 152 are perpendicularly connected to the outer side wall 12 and the inner side wall 14, respectively.
The side end of the external module 20 is provided with a semi-circular notch 22, and the diameter of the notch 22 is equal to or slightly larger than the diameter of the retaining shaft 152. The upper end of the external module 20 is further provided with a plurality of grooves 24. The grooves 24 are distributed opposite the hooks 126, and the length of the grooves 24 is exactly equal to the width of the hooks 126. When the external module 20 is received in the slot 15, the hooks 126 of the fasteners 122 are just snapped into the grooves 24, and the hooks 126 are not in the grooves 24. slide.
Referring to FIG. 3 , the semicircular notch 22 of the external module 20 is first fastened to the retaining shaft 152 during assembly. Then, in the direction of the arrow A, the external module 20 is pressed down with the retaining shaft 152 as an axis. When the external module 20 is in contact with the hooks 126 of the fasteners 122, the portions of the support portions 124 of the fasteners 122 that are not supported by the ribs 128 are bent and deformed until the external module 20 is received. In the slot 15 , the support portions 124 are restored to the original shape, and the hooks 126 latch the external module 20 into the slot 15 .
Referring to FIG. 4 , when the external module 20 is received in the slot 15 , the hooks 126 of the fasteners 122 are just snapped into the grooves 24 .
Since the external module 20 is always rotated by the retaining shaft 152 during the installation, when the external module 20 is received in the slot 15, the external module 20 still abuts against the retaining shaft 152. Therefore, the installation and positioning of the external module 20 can be ensured accurately.
When the external module 20 is received in the slot 15, since the hook 126 is locked in the recess 24 of the upper end of the external module 20, the external module 20 does not jump due to vibration. Moreover, since the length of the groove 24 is equal to the width of the hooks 126, the external module 20 does not slip in the slot 15.
