1. Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to electronic devices, and more particularly to an electronic device with a bezel assembly.
2. Description of Related Art
A computer case panel defines an opening for moving an optical disk drive in or out of the computer case. A decorating plate and a shielding plate are used to shield the opening. The decorating plate is secured to an interior of the shielding plate with a plurality of clipping members. When the shielding plate needs to be maintained or disassembled, the clipping members are disengaged from the decorating plate after the decorating plate is disengaged from the computer case. Thus, disassembly of the shielding plate may be laborious and time-consuming. Therefore, there is room for improvement in the art.
Many aspects of the embodiments can be better understood with reference to the following drawings. The components in the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale, the emphasis instead being placed upon clearly illustrating the principles of the embodiments. Moreover, in the drawings, like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views.
The disclosure is illustrated by way of example and not by way of limitation in the figures of the accompanying drawings in which like references indicate similar elements. It should be noted that references to “an” or “one” embodiment in this disclosure are not necessarily to the same embodiment, and such references mean at least one.
The panel 10 includes a main body 11 and a flange 13 extending from an edge of the main body 11. In one embodiment, the flange 13 is substantially perpendicular to the main body 11. The main body 11 defines a first opening 111 and a plurality of through holes 113 around the first opening 111. The first opening 111 is used for receiving the optical disk drive 80. The flange 13 defines a retaining slot 131. A protrusion 132 is located on a middle of the retaining slot 131. A sliding way 115 is defined in the main body 11 adjacent to the flange 13.
The shielding member 20 defines a second opening 21, and a plurality of mounting portions 23 around the second opening 21. A rectangle frame 211 extends from the second opening 21 and is configured to abut the first opening 111. In one embodiment, each of the mounting portions 23 is a hook, positioned substantially perpendicular to the shielding member 20.
The tray 70 is secured to the computer enclosure (not shown) and is located on a back side of the panel 10. The optical disk drive 80 is pushed into the tray 70 through the first opening 111 from a front side of the panel 10. The shielding member 20 is aligned with the first opening 111, and each of the plurality of the mounting members 23 is inserted into each of the plurality of through holes 113. One of the mounting members 23 is aligned with the cutout 235 and is received in the cutout 325. The other mounting members 23 are staggered with the second latch portions 323. The drawing portion 312 is operated until elastically deformed allowing disengagement from the protrusion 132. The securing member 30 is moved in a first direction that is substantially parallel to the main body 11, until the mounting members 23 are engaged with the first latch portion 321 and the second latch portion 323 to secure the shielding member to the panel 10. The drawing portion 312 releases, and the protrusion 132 resists the drawing portion 312 to prevent the drawing portion 312 from sliding along the first direction. Thus, the shielding member 20 blocks the optical disk drive 80 to prevent the optical disk drive 80 from disengaging from the tray 70 through the first opening 111.
In disassembly of the shielding member 20, the drawing portion 312 is operated to be elastically deformed to disengage from the protrusion 132. The securing member 30 is pushed to slide along a second direction opposite to the first direction, until the mounting member 23 is aligned with the cutout 325, and another one of the mounting members 23 is staggered with the second latch portion 323. Thus, the shielding member 20 is detached easily from the panel 10.
It is to be understood, however, that even though numerous characteristics and advantages have been set forth in the foregoing description of embodiments, together with details of the structures and functions of the embodiments, the disclosure is illustrative only and changes may be made in detail, especially in the matters of shape, size, and arrangement of parts within the principles of the disclosure to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.
