The present disclosure relates to electronic devices, and more particularly to an electronic device with a sensor assembly.
Sensors are used electronic devices such as mobile phones and notebook computers. The sensor is usually printed on a surface of a printed circuit board. Thus, the sensor may sense objects on a top side of the printed circuit board; but cannot sense objects on lateral sides of the printed circuit board. Therefore, there is room for improvement in the art.
Many aspects of the embodiments can be better understood with references 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 body 30 includes a base 10 and a circuit board 20 installed on the base 10. A connector 21 is located on the circuit board 20. The circuit board 20 defines a cutout 23. The base 10 includes a bottom plate 11 and a side plate 13. The side plate 13 extends substantially perpendicularly around a periphery of the bottom plate 11. A resilient installation portion 15 is located on the bottom plate 11 and adjacent to the side plate 13. An installation slot 151 is defined in the installation portion 15. In one embodiment, the installation portion 15 is made of plastic. The side plate 13 defines an interface 131 for receiving a peripheral device (not shown), such as a mouse, a hard disk drive, a flash disc, or the like, and further defines a through hole 133 communicating with the installation slot 151.
The sensor assembly 60 includes a converting board 40 and a sensor 50 attached to the converting board 40. The converting board 40 is flexible. The sensor 50 is attached to the converting board 40 and can detect whether there is a peripheral device received in the body 30. In one embodiment, the converting board 40 is a flexible printed circuit board, and the sensor 50 is an infrared sensor. Referring to
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.
