Patent Application
20160192522
The subject matter herein generally relates to an electronic device enclosure.
An electronic device enclosure such as a personal computer chassis often includes a main body and a cover attached to the main body. The main body generally includes a bottom plate, two side plates, and a top plate cooperatively defining a receiving area for receiving electronic components. The electronic components can include a motherboard, hard disks, a plurality of expansion cards, and a power supply.
Implementations of the present technology will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the attached figures.
It will be appreciated that for simplicity and clarity of illustration, where appropriate, reference numerals have been repeated among the different figures to indicate corresponding or analogous elements. In addition, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments described herein. However, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that the embodiments described herein can be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, methods, procedures and components have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the related relevant feature being described. Also, the description is not to be considered as limiting the scope of the embodiments described herein. The drawings are not necessarily to scale and the proportions of certain parts may be exaggerated to better illustrate details and features of the present disclosure.
Several definitions that apply throughout this disclosure will now be presented.
The term “coupled” is defined as connected, whether directly or indirectly through intervening components, and is not necessarily limited to physical connections. The connection can be such that the objects are permanently connected or releasably connected. The term “substantially” is defined to be essentially conforming to the particular dimension, shape or other word that substantially modifies, such that the component need not be exact. For example, substantially cylindrical means that the object resembles a cylinder, but can have one or more deviations from a true cylinder. The term “comprising,” when utilized, means “including, but not necessarily limited to”; it specifically indicates open-ended inclusion or membership in the so-described combination, group, series and the like.
The present disclosure is described in relation to an electronic device enclosure including a main body and a cover. The main body includes a first sidewall and a second sidewall opposite to the first sidewall. The cover is rotatably coupled to the first sidewall and includes a cover main body. The cover is foldable relative to the first sidewall to secure to the second sidewall. The cover main body is made of non-metallic material, and a top moisture proof member is attached to a top surface of the cover main body to protect the cover main body from moisture.
The electronic device enclosure 100 can include a main body 10 and a cover 30 configured to be attached to the main body 10. In at least one embodiment, the electronic device enclosure 100 can be a computer chassis.
The main body 10 can include a base 11, a front wall 12 connected to a first edge of the base 11, a rear wall 13 connected to a second edge of the base 11, a first sidewall 14, and a second sidewall 15.
The base 11 is substantially U-shaped, the first sidewall 14 is attached to a first side portion of the base 11, and the second sidewall 15 is attached to a second side portion of the base 11. In at least one embodiment, the front panel 12 is substantially parallel to the rear panel 13 and perpendicular to a bottom portion of the base 11, the first sidewall 14 is substantially parallel to the second sidewall 15 and perpendicular to the bottom portion of the base 11. The base 11, the front panel 12, the rear panel 13, the first sidewall 14, and the second sidewall 15 cooperatively define a receiving space 200 which is configured to receive a plurality of electronic components. The plurality of electronic components can include a motherboard, hard disks, a plurality of expansion cards, a power supply, and so on.
The top moisture proof member 163 is attached to a top surface of the plate main body 161, and the bottom moisture proof member 165 is attached to a bottom surface of the plate main body 161. The top moisture proof member 143 is attached to a top surface of first sidewall main body 141 and the bottom moisture proof member 165 is attached to a bottom surface of the first sidewall main body 141. The top moisture proof member 153 is attached to a top surface of the second sidewall main body 151 and the bottom moisture proof member 155 is attached to a bottom surface of the second sidewall main body 151. The top moisture proof member 33 is attached to a top surface of the cover main body 31 and the bottom moisture proof member 35 is attached to a bottom surface of the cover main body 31. Therefore, the top moisture proof member 163, 143, 153, 33 and the bottom moisture proof member 165, 145, 155, 35 together protect the plate main body 161, the first sidewall main body 141, the second sidewall main body 151, and the cover main body 31 from moisture.
In at least one embodiment, the cover 30, the strengthening plate 16, the first sidewall 14, and the second sidewall 15 are integrated to form an integrated member which a top moisture proof member is attached on a top surface and the bottom moisture proof member attached on a bottom surface.
The embodiments shown and described above are only examples. Many details are often found in the art such as the other features of an electronic device enclosure. Therefore, many such details are neither shown nor described. Even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present technology have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and function of the present disclosure, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in the detail, especially in matters of shape, size and arrangement of the parts within the principles of the present disclosure up to, and including the full extent established by the broad general meaning of the terms used in the claims. It will therefore be appreciated that the embodiments described above may be modified within the scope of the claims.
