This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201720861395.3 filed on Jul. 14, 2017, the contents of which are incorporated by reference herein.
The subject matter herein generally relates to mechanical devices, and particularly to a receiving device and an electronic device with the same.
Smart electronic devices such as smart phones or personal computers can be configured with a stylus, which is used for performing touching operations on a touch panel. However, the stylus cannot usually be conveniently kept on the electronic device. Improvement in the art is preferred.
Many aspects of the disclosure 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 disclosure. Moreover, in the drawings, like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views.
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 exemplary embodiments described herein. However, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that the exemplary 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 exemplary embodiments described herein. The drawings are not necessarily to scale and the proportions of certain parts have been exaggerated to better illustrate details and features of the present disclosure.
The present disclosure, including the accompanying drawings, is illustrated by way of examples and not by way of limitation. Several definitions that apply throughout this disclosure will now be presented. It should be noted that references to “an” or “one” exemplary embodiment in this disclosure are not necessarily to the same exemplary embodiment, and such references mean “at least one”.
The term “comprising” means “including, but not necessarily limited to”, it specifically indicates open-ended inclusion or membership in a so-described combination, group, series, and the like.
A cross section of the receiving device 10 is substantially a shape of a letter “H”. The receiving device 10 includes a top member 101, a bottom member 102, and a connection member 103. The top member 101 faces the bottom member 102. The connection member 103 is arranged between the top member 101 and the bottom member 102, so as to connect the top member 101 to the bottom member 102, thus the receiving device 10 is formed as the H-shaped structure.
In at least one exemplary embodiment, the top member 101, the bottom member 102, and the connection member 103 are integrally formed through molding. A clamping member 104 and a receiving member 105 are formed between the top member 101, the bottom member 102, and the connection member 103.
Referring to
In at least one exemplary embodiment, the clamping member 104 faces away from the receiving member 105. A shape and a structure of the clamping member 104 match a shape and a structure of the electronic device, which is convenient for being clamped to the electronic device. A shape and a structure of the receiving member 105 match a shape and a structure of the stylus.
A cross section of the clamping member 104 is substantially shaped as a letter “J”, the clamping member 104 includes a first clamping surface 1041, a second clamping surface 1042, and the first surface 1031. An inner surface of the top member 101 is divided into two portions by the connection member 103, the first clamping surface 1041 is one of the two portions. An inner surface of the bottom member 102 is also divided into two portions by the connection member 103, the second clamping surface 1042 is one of the two portions. The first clamping surface 1041 faces the second clamping surface 1042. The first surface 1031 connects the first clamping surface 1041 to the second clamping surface 1042 to form an opening 1043 on the clamping member 104. The opening 1043 is used to clamp onto the electronic device.
In at least one exemplary embodiment, the clamping member 104 is made from elastic material, such as plastic material, thus the clamping member 104 has good flexibility and can be clamped to electronic devices with different sizes.
In at least one exemplary embodiment, the first clamping surface 1041 and/or the second clamping surface 1042 each define a number of filling strips 106. The filling strips 106 are made from elastic material. The filling strips 106 are arranged on an edge of the first clamping surface 1041 and/or the second clamping surface 1042. The filling strips 106 can increase a clamping force of the clamping member 104, and prevent the electronic device from being easily detached from the clamping member 104.
In other exemplary embodiments, the first clamping surface 1041 and/or the second clamping surface 1042 each define a number of touch points 107. The touch point 107 is a bulging structure. The touch points 107 are arranged at intervals on an edge of the first clamping surface 1041 and/or the second clamping surface 1042. The touch points 107 can increase a clamping force of the clamping member 104, and also prevent the electronic device from being easily detached from the clamping member 104.
In other exemplary embodiments, the first clamping surface 1041 and/or the second clamping surface 1042 each define a number of touch points 107, a filling strip 106 is arranged on each touch point 107. The touch points 107 and filling strips 106 are arranged at intervals on an edge of the first clamping surface 1041 and/or the second clamping surface 1042. The touch points 107 and filling strips 106 can increase a clamping force of the clamping member 104, and also prevent the electronic device becoming detached from the clamping member 104.
A cross section of the receiving member 105 is C-shaped, the receiving member 105 includes a first limiting portion 1051, a second limiting portion 1052, and the second surface 1032. The first limiting portion 1051 is another one of the two portions of the inner surface of the top member 101. The second limiting portion 1052 is another one of the two portions of the inner surface of the bottom member 102. The first limiting portion 1051 faces the second limiting portion 1052. The second surface 1032 is connected to the first limiting portion 1051 and the second limiting portion 1052 to form an opening 1053 on the receiving member 105. The opening 1053 is used to clamp the stylus.
In at least one exemplary embodiment, the receiving member 105 is made from elastic material, such as plastic material, thus the receiving member 105 has good flexibility, which is convenient for receiving the stylus. In addition, the receiving member 105 receives the stylus by means of interference fit, a length of the receiving member 105 is greater than a length of the stylus.
In at least one exemplary embodiment, the receiving member 10 further includes at least one magnetic component 108. The magnetic component 108 is arranged on the first surface 1031 of the connection member 103. The magnetic component 108 is magnetically attached to the electronic device, thus the clamping member 104 can clamp onto the electronic device more steadily.
In at least one exemplary embodiment, the connection member 103 defines at least one through hole 109 as shown in
In at least one exemplary embodiment, the structure of receiving device 10 is simple, and the receiving device 10 can be clamped on the electronic device and receive the stylus at the same time. Thus, the receiving device 10 can be conveniently kept on the electronic device, and the stylus can be conveniently received in the receiving device 10 and be taken out of the receiving device 10 as necessary.
It is believed that the present embodiments and their advantages will be understood from the foregoing description, and it will be apparent that various changes may be made thereto without departing from the spirit and scope of the disclosure or sacrificing all of its material advantages, the examples hereinbefore described merely being exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure.
