Patent Application
20160227662
This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201510045923.3 filed on Jan. 29, 2015, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
The subject matter herein generally relates to an electronic device.
An electronic device generally includes a chassis and a plurality of components. The chassis generally includes a chassis body to receive the components and a cover configured to cover the components, and the cover is usually secured to the chassis body by a number of fasteners or slidably mounted to the chassis body.
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 chassis 10 defines an opening 11 and can include a first sidewall 12, a second sidewall 13, a front wall 14, a second wall 15, and a bottom wall 16. The circuit board 30 is secured on the bottom wall 16. The first sidewall 12 and the second sidewall 13 extend from two opposite sides of the bottom wall 16 and are parallel to each other. The front wall 14 and the rear wall 15 extend perpendicularly from two another opposite sides of the bottom wall 16 and are parallel to each other. The rear wall 15 defines a plurality of vents. The opening 11 is defined by the first sidewall 12, the second sidewall 13, a front wall 14, and a rear wall 15. The circuit board 30 and the power supply 40 can be inserted through the opening 11 to be mounted in the chassis 10. In at least one embodiment, the chassis 10 is made of metal.
The cover 20a can include a base plate 21, a first side plate 22, and a second side plate 23. The base plate 21 is configured to cover the opening 11. The first side plate 22 and the second side plate 23 are located at two opposite sides of the base plate 21. The cover 20a further includes a shielding layer 211 located on an inner surface of the base plate 21. The shielding layer 211 is made of metal. The first side plate 22 and the second side plate 23 extend from the base plate 21, and the first side plate 22 and the second side plate 23 are rotatable relative to the base plate 21. The cover 20a is made of paper, a plurality of parallel folds 25 is pressed in the cover 20a, and the cover 20a is foldable along the plurality of folds 25 to form the base plate 21, the first side plate 22, and the second side plate 23.
The electronic device further includes a mounting member 50 and an engaging member 60 configured to engage with the mounting member 50. The mounting member 50 is attached to an inner surface of the first side plate 22 adjacent to a free end. The engaging member 60 is attached to an outer surface of the first sidewall 12 and adjacent to the bottom wall 16. The mounting member 50 can be a magnetic strip, a hook, or a slot. The engaging member 60 corresponding to the mounting member 50 can be a magnetic strip, a slot or a hook.
The first side plate 22 and the base plate 21 are rotatable to engage the mounting member 50 with the engaging member 60. The opening 11 is covered by the base plate 21, the first side plate 22 covers the third plate 27, and the chassis 10 is surrounded by the cover 20c. The third plate 27 and the second side plate 23 are substantially perpendicular to the bottom plate 26 and parallel to each other. The base plate 21 and the bottom plate 27 are substantially parallel to each other.
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. 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.
