Description

Shell assembly

Technical Field

The invention relates to a shell component.

Background

To facilitate quick assembly and disassembly, some existing outdoor products (e.g., monitoring equipment or light fixtures) are generally divided into a "product body" and a "product support base" as a whole. The product support base is secured to an outdoor environment (e.g., a building wall or utility pole) and the product body and the product support base are secured or separated by a release button design. However, for outdoor products, since they are preset to be installed outdoors, there is a possibility of theft by a malicious person, but the design of the release button cannot avoid the theft problem. In addition, the release button itself has a predetermined service life, and therefore, after a large number of presses, there is a possibility that damage may occur.

Therefore, how to provide a housing assembly capable of solving the above problems is one of the problems that the industry needs to invest in research and development resources to solve.

Disclosure of Invention

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a housing assembly that effectively solves the above problems.

To achieve the above objective, according to one embodiment of the present invention, a housing assembly includes a body, a button, a base and a fixing member. The body is provided with an inner space and a through hole which are communicated. The button includes a pressing portion. The pressing part extends out of the body from the through hole and is configured to be pressed to sink into the through hole. The base is provided with a groove and a clamping hole which are communicated. The recess is configured to receive the body. The engaging hole is configured for the pressing portion to engage. The fixing member is coupled to the body in the inner space and configured to block the pressing portion from sinking into the through hole from the outside of the body to separate from the engaging hole.

In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the body includes a connection portion located in the inner space. The engagement portion has an engagement hole. The fixing piece is connected with the connecting hole. When the fixing piece enters the first depth of the engagement hole and the pressing part abuts against the fixing piece, the pressing part partially protrudes out of the body from the through hole. When the fixing piece enters the second depth of the engagement hole and the pressing part abuts against the fixing piece, the pressing part sinks into the through hole.

In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the pressing portion has a through channel substantially facing the fixing member.

In one or more embodiments of the invention, the body has an inner surface. The button further includes a stop. The stop part is connected with the pressing part and is configured to abut against the inner surface.

In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the button further comprises a spring arm portion. The elastic arm part comprises a first connecting section and a second connecting section. The first connecting section is coupled with the body in the inner space and is provided with a connecting hole. The second connecting section is connected between the first connecting section and the pressing part and is provided with a through hole. The fixture is slidably inserted through the through hole and into the engagement hole.

In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the body further has a screw hole located in the inner space. The fixing piece is a screw and sequentially passes through the through hole and the connecting hole to be screwed with the screw hole.

In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the button further comprises a spring arm portion. The elastic arm part is provided with a first hollow hole. The housing assembly further comprises a baffle. The blocking piece comprises a blocking part and an extending part which are connected. The stop portion is configured to be inserted into the first hollow hole. The extending part passes through the first hollow hole and is provided with a second hollow hole. The body is provided with an engagement hole. The fixing piece penetrates through the second hollow hole and is connected with the connecting hole, so that the blocking piece is limited through the second hollow hole, and the blocking part is continuously inserted into the first hollow hole.

In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the stopper includes a first bending section and a second bending section. The first bending section is connected with the extending part and is bent relative to the extending part. The second bending section is connected with the first bending section, is bent relative to the first bending section and is configured to be inserted into the first hollow hole. The distance between the second bending section and the extending part is gradually reduced towards the pressing part.

In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the first opening has a first opening and a second opening. The first opening and the second opening are respectively far away from and close to the second hollow hole. The width of the first opening is greater than the width of the second opening.

In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the engagement hole is a screw hole. The fixing piece is a screw and is screwed with the connecting hole.

In one or more embodiments of the invention, the fixing member rotatably engages with the engagement hole based on the first axial direction and has a penetrating portion inserted into the second hollow hole. The penetrating part has a first width and a second width in a second axial direction and a third axial direction substantially perpendicular to the first axial direction, respectively. The second hollow hole substantially extends away from the stop portion along the fourth axial direction, and has a third width and a fourth width relative to the fourth axial direction at two positions adjacent to and away from the stop portion respectively. The first width is less than the third width and greater than the fourth width. The second width is less than the fourth width.

In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the second axis and the third axis are substantially perpendicular to each other.

In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the pressing portion has a through channel. The fixing piece is slidably engaged with the through channel.

In summary, the housing assembly of the present invention integrates the button and the fixing member into the body, and the button and the fixing member cooperate with each other to perform the anti-theft function. Specifically, by installing the fixing member in the body or adjusting the fixing member already installed in the body, the button can be blocked by the fixing member and cannot be pressed, so that the body cannot be detached relative to the base correspondingly; by removing the fixture from the body or adjusting the fixture already installed in the body, the button can be disengaged from the fixture to allow it to be pressed, thereby correspondingly allowing the body to be disassembled relative to the base. Because the button can not be pressed when being blocked by the fixing piece, the damage probability of the button can be effectively reduced, and the service life of the button is prolonged.

The foregoing is merely illustrative of the problems to be solved, solutions to problems, and effects produced by the present invention, and specific details thereof are set forth in the following description and the related drawings.

Detailed Description

In the following description, numerous implementation details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. It should be understood, however, that these implementation details are not to be interpreted as limiting the invention. That is, in some embodiments of the invention, such implementation details are not necessary. In addition, for the sake of simplicity, certain conventional structures and elements are shown in simplified schematic form in the drawings, and the same elements in different embodiments are labeled with the same reference numerals.

Please refer to fig. 1A and fig. 1B. FIG. 1A illustrates a partial perspective view of a housing assembly 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1B illustrates another partial perspective view of the housing assembly 100 of FIG. 1A, wherein the base 130 is separated from the body 110. As shown in fig. 1A and fig. 1B, the housing assembly 100 of the present embodiment is an outdoor product, such as a monitoring device or a lamp, but the invention is not limited thereto. In other words, the concept of the housing assembly 100 of the present invention can be applied to any outdoor product. In the present embodiment, the housing assembly 100 includes a body 110, a button 120, and a base 130. The body 110 includes a support frame 111 and a cover 112. The body 110 formed by combining the supporting frame 111 and the cover 112 is, for example, box-shaped. The body 110 has an inner space S (see fig. 2A) communicating with each other and a through hole 111 a. The button 120 includes a pressing portion 121. The pressing portion 121 protrudes from the through hole 111a to the outside of the body 110, and is configured to be pressed to sink into the through hole 111 a. The base 130 is configured to be secured to an outdoor environment (e.g., a building wall or a utility pole). The base 130 has a groove 131 and a locking hole 132 communicating with each other. The recess 131 is configured to receive at least a portion of the body 110. The engaging hole 132 is disposed for the pressing portion 121 to engage. When the pressing portion 121 is pressed and sunk into the through hole 111a, the pressing portion 121 is disengaged from the engaging hole 132, and the main body 110 can be detached from the base 130. The structure and function of each element included in the housing assembly 100 and the connection relationship between each element will be described in detail below.

Referring to fig. 2A, a partial cross-sectional view of the housing assembly 100 according to an embodiment of the invention is shown. As shown in fig. 2A, in the present embodiment, the housing assembly 100 further includes a fixing member 140, and the body 110 includes a connection portion 112A located in the inner space S. The engaging portion 112a has an engaging hole 112a 1. The holder 140 is engaged with the engaging hole 112a 1. When the fixture 140 enters the engaging hole 112a1 by the first depth D1 and is fixed to the engaging hole 112a1, and when the pressing portion 121 abuts against the fixture 140, the pressing portion 121 partially protrudes from the through hole 111a to the outside of the body 110 and engages with the engaging hole 132 of the base 130. In other words, in the case shown in fig. 2A, the pressing portion 121 cannot be pressed and sinks into the through hole 111 a. In addition, the body 110 has an inner surface 111 b. The button 120 also includes a stop 122. The stop portion 122 is connected to the pressing portion 121 and configured to abut against the inner surface 111 b. Thereby, the button 120 can be prevented from completely falling out of the body 110 through the through hole 111 a.

Please refer to fig. 2B and fig. 2C. Fig. 2B is another partial cross-sectional view of the housing assembly 100 of fig. 2A. Fig. 2C is a partial cross-sectional view of the housing assembly 100 of fig. 2B in another operating state. As shown in fig. 2B, when the holder 140 enters the second depth D2 greater than the first depth D1 of the engaging hole 112a1, a movable distance is generated between the holder 140 and the button 120 for the button 120 to be pressed into the inner space S. As shown in fig. 2C, when the pressing portion 121 is pressed against the fixing member 140, the pressing portion 121 sinks into the through hole 111a, and releases the engagement with the engagement hole 132.

In some embodiments, the engagement holes 112a1 are screw holes. The fixing member 140 is a screw and is screwed with the coupling hole 112a 1. The depth of the fixture 140 entering the engagement hole 112a1 can be adjusted by rotating the fixture 140 relative to the engagement hole 112a1, that is, the fixture 140 is fixed to the engagement hole 112a1 with the adjustable entering depth. In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 2A, in order to rotate the fixing member 140, the pressing portion 121 may be configured to have a through channel 121a, and the through channel 121a substantially faces the fixing member 140. Therefore, a user can pass an assembling and disassembling tool (e.g., a screwdriver) through the through channel 121a and the pressing portion 121 to reach the fixing member 140, and rotate the fixing member 140 by using the assembling and disassembling tool.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 2A, the engagement portion 112A having the engagement hole 112A1 is a part of the cover 112, but the invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the engagement portion 112a having the engagement hole 112a1 may be a part of the support bracket 111.

Referring to fig. 3A, a partial cross-sectional view of a housing assembly 200 according to an embodiment of the invention is shown. As shown in fig. 3A, in the present embodiment, the housing assembly 200 includes a body 210, a button 220, a base 130, and a fixing member 240. The body 210 includes a support frame 211 and a cover 212. The body 210 has an inner space S and a through hole 211a communicating with each other. The button 220 includes a pressing portion 221 and an arm portion 222. The pressing portion 221 protrudes from the through hole 211a to the outside of the body 210. The pressing portion 221 is disposed to be pressed to push the spring arm portion 222, and is sunk into the through hole 211a by deformation of the spring arm portion 222. The base 130 is the same as or similar to the embodiment shown in fig. 2A, and therefore its details are not repeated.

Specifically, in the present embodiment, the spring arm portion 222 includes a first connection portion 222a and a second connection portion 222 b. The first connection segment 222a is coupled to the body 110 in the inner space S and has an engagement hole 222a 1. The second connecting section 222b is connected between the first connecting section 222a and the pressing portion 221, and has a through hole 222b 1. The fixing member 240 slidably passes through the through hole 222b1 and into the coupling hole 222a 1. It should be noted that, since the fixing member 240 passes through the through hole 222b1 of the second connection section 222b and passes through the engagement hole 222a1 of the first connection section 222a, the fixing member 240 prevents the first connection section 222a and the second connection section 222b from being bent and deformed relatively. In addition, the pressing portion 221 has a through channel 221a, and the fixing member 240 also slidably penetrates through the through channel 221a, so that the fixing member 240 also hinders the possibility of relative bending deformation of the second connecting section 222b and the pressing portion 221. In other words, in the case shown in fig. 3A, the pressing portion 221 cannot be pressed to sink into the through hole 211 a.

In some embodiments, the engagement holes 222a1 are screw holes. The fixing member 240 is a screw and is screwed with the coupling hole 222a 1. The fixing member 240 is prevented from completely falling out of the body 210 through the through hole 211a by screwing the fixing member 240 with the engaging hole 222a 1.

Please refer to fig. 3B and fig. 3C. Fig. 3B is another partial cross-sectional view of the housing assembly 200 shown in fig. 3A, in which the fixing member 240 is removed. Fig. 3C is a partial cross-sectional view of the housing assembly 200 of fig. 3B in another operating state. As shown in fig. 3B and 3C, when the fixing member 240 is detached and completely separated from the body 210, the first connecting section 222a and the second connecting section 222B can be bent and deformed relatively, and the second connecting section 222B and the pressing portion 221 can also be bent and deformed relatively, so as to allow the pressing portion 221 to sink into the through hole 211a and release the engagement state with the engagement hole 132.

Referring to fig. 4A, a partial cross-sectional view of a housing assembly 300 according to an embodiment of the invention is shown. As shown in fig. 4A, in the present embodiment, the housing assembly 300 includes a body 310, a button 320, a base 130, and a fixing member 240. The body 310 includes a support frame 211 and a cover 312. The body 310 has an inner space S and a through hole 211a communicating with each other. The button 320 includes a pressing portion 321 and an arm portion 322. The pressing portion 321 protrudes from the through hole 211a to the outside of the body 310. The pressing portion 321 is configured to be pressed to push the spring arm portion 322, and to sink into the through hole 211a by deformation of the spring arm portion 322. The base 130 and the supporting frame 211 are the same as or similar to the embodiment shown in fig. 3A, and therefore the details thereof are omitted.

Specifically, in the present embodiment, the spring arm portion 322 includes a first connecting portion 322a and a second connecting portion 322 b. The first connecting section 322a is coupled to the body 310 in the inner space S and has a first through hole 322a 1. The second connecting section 322b is connected between the first connecting section 322a and the pressing portion 321, and has a second through hole 322b 1. The body 310 includes a coupling portion 312a located in the internal space S. The engaging portion 312a has an engaging hole 312a 1. In this embodiment, the coupling holes 312a1 are screw holes, and the fixing element 240 is a screw and sequentially passes through the second through hole 322b1 of the second connecting section 322b and the first through hole 322a1 of the first connecting section 322a to be screwed with the coupling hole 312a1, so that the fixing element 240 prevents the first connecting section 322a and the second connecting section 322b from being bent and deformed relatively. In addition, the pressing portion 321 has a through channel 321a, and the fixing member 240 also slidably penetrates through the through channel 321a, so that the fixing member 240 also hinders the possibility of relative bending deformation of the second connecting section 322b and the pressing portion 321. In other words, in the case shown in fig. 4A, the pressing portion 321 cannot be pressed to sink into the through hole 211 a.

Please refer to fig. 4B and fig. 4C. Fig. 4B is another partial cross-sectional view of the housing assembly 300 shown in fig. 4A, wherein the fixing member 240 is removed. Fig. 4C is a partial cross-sectional view of the housing assembly 300 of fig. 4B in another operating state. As shown in fig. 4B and 4C, when the fixing member 240 is detached and completely separated from the body 310, the first connecting section 322a and the second connecting section 322B can be bent and deformed relatively, and the second connecting section 322B and the pressing portion 321 can also be bent and deformed relatively, so as to allow the pressing portion 321 to sink into the through hole 211a and release the engagement state with the engagement hole 132.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 4A, the engagement portion 312a having the engagement hole 312a1 is a part of the cover 312, but the invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the engagement portion 312a having the engagement hole 312a1 may also be a part of the support bracket 211.

Referring to fig. 5A, a partial cross-sectional view of a housing assembly 400 according to an embodiment of the invention is shown. As shown in fig. 5A, in the present embodiment, the housing assembly 400 includes a body 410, a button 420, a base 130, and a fixing member 440. The body 410 includes a support frame 411 and a cover 412. The body 410 has an inner space S and a through hole 411a communicating with each other. The button 420 includes a pressing portion 421 and an arm portion 422. The pressing portion 421 protrudes from the through hole 411a to the outside of the main body 410. The pressing portion 421 is configured to be pressed to push the elastic arm portion 422, and to be sunk into the through hole 411a by deformation of the elastic arm portion 422. The base 130 is the same as or similar to the embodiment shown in fig. 2A, and therefore its details are not repeated.

Please refer to fig. 6 and fig. 7. Fig. 6 is a perspective view of the baffle 450 of fig. 5A. Fig. 7 is a perspective view of the button 420 of fig. 5A. As shown in fig. 5A, 6 and 7, in the present embodiment, the elastic arm portion 422 has a first hollow hole 422 a. The housing assembly 400 further includes a flap 450. The blocking piece 450 includes a blocking portion 451 and an extending portion 452 connected to each other. The stopper 451 is configured to be inserted into the first hollow hole 422 a. One end of the extending portion 452 passes through the first hollow hole 422a and has a second hollow hole 452a, and the other end of the extending portion 452 is connected to the stopping portion 451. The body 410 includes a coupling portion 411b located in the internal space S. The engaging portion 411b has an engaging hole 411b 1. The fixing member 440 passes through the second hollow hole 452a and engages with the engaging hole 411b1, so that the fixing member 440 limits the stopper 450 via the second hollow hole 452a, and the stopper 451 is continuously inserted into the first hollow hole 422 a. Since the fixing member 440 limits the freedom of movement of the extending portion 452 with respect to the engaging hole 411b1, and the stopper portion 451 inserted into the first hollow hole 422a limits the freedom of the elastic arm portion 422, the elastic arm portion 422 is prevented from being bent. In other words, in the case shown in fig. 5A, the pressing portion 421 cannot be pressed to sink into the through hole 411 a.

Please refer to fig. 5B and fig. 5C. Fig. 5B is another partial cross-sectional view of the housing assembly 400 of fig. 5A, wherein the fixing member 440 is removed. Fig. 5C is a partial cross-sectional view of the housing assembly 400 of fig. 5B in another operating state. As shown in fig. 5B and 5C, when the fixing member 440 is detached and completely separated from the body 410 (e.g., via the through channel 421a of the pressing portion 421) and the stopping portion 451 is separated from the first hollow hole 422a, the elastic arm portion 422 can be bent and deformed, so as to allow the pressing portion 421 to sink into the through hole 411a and release the engagement with the engagement hole 132.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 5B, 5C and 6, the stop portion 451 comprises a first bending section 451a and a second bending section 451B. The first bending portion 451a is connected to the extending portion 452 and bent with respect to the extending portion 452. The second bending section 451b is connected to the first bending section 451a, bent relative to the first bending section 451a, and configured to be inserted into the first hollow hole 422 a. In the situation shown in fig. 5A, the extending portion 452 and the other end of the second bending section 451b are inserted into the first hollow hole 422a at the same time, so that the pressing portion 421 cannot be pressed to sink into the through hole 411 a. The distance between the second bent section 451b and the extended portion 452 is gradually decreased toward the pressing portion 421. With this arrangement, in the case shown in fig. 5B or 5C, when the pressing portion 421 is pressed to bend and deform the elastic arm portion 422, the second bending section 451B of the blocking piece 450 is pushed away from the first hollow hole 422a by the deformed elastic arm portion 422, so that the deformation of the elastic arm portion 422 is not hindered. In addition, since the pressing portion 421 has the through passage 421a, in the case shown in fig. 5A, the fixing member 440 also slidably penetrates into the through passage 421a, and hinders the elastic arm portion 422 from being bent and deformed relative to the pressing portion 421.

In some alternative embodiments, as shown in fig. 5C, the first hollow 422a has a first opening 422a1 and a second opening 422a 2. The first opening 422a1 and the second opening 422a2 are far away from and close to the second hollow hole 452a, respectively. The width of the first opening 422a1 is greater than the width of the second opening 422a 2. With this configuration, in the case shown in fig. 5B or 5C, when the pressing portion 421 is pressed to bend and deform the elastic arm portion 422, the second bending section 451B of the blocking piece 450 can be pushed away from the first hollow hole 422a by the deformed elastic arm portion 422 (i.e., only the extending portion 452 of the blocking piece 450 is inserted into the first hollow hole 422a), and the deformation of the elastic arm portion 422 is not hindered.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 5A, the engagement portion 411b having the engagement hole 411b1 is a part of the supporting frame 411, but the invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the engagement portion 411b having the engagement hole 411b1 may be a part of the cover 412.

In some embodiments, the engagement holes 411b1 are screw holes. The fixing member 440 is a screw and is screwed with the coupling hole 411b1, but the invention is not limited thereto.

Referring to fig. 8A, a partial cross-sectional view of a housing assembly 500 according to an embodiment of the invention is shown. As shown in fig. 8A, in the present embodiment, the housing assembly 500 includes a body 410, a button 420, a base 130, and a fixing member 540. The body 410 includes a support frame 411 and a cover 412. The body 410 has an inner space S and a through hole 411a communicating with each other. The button 420 includes a pressing portion 421 and an arm portion 422. The pressing portion 421 protrudes from the through hole 411a to the outside of the main body 410. The pressing portion 421 is configured to be pressed to push the elastic arm portion 422, and to be sunk into the through hole 411a by deformation of the elastic arm portion 422. The body 410, the base 130 and the button 420 are the same as or similar to the embodiment shown in fig. 5A, and therefore the details thereof are omitted.

Please refer to fig. 9 and 10. Fig. 9 is a perspective view of the flap 550 of fig. 8A. Fig. 10 is a perspective view of the fixing member 540 in fig. 8A. As shown in fig. 8A, 9 and 10, in the present embodiment, the housing assembly 500 further includes a blocking piece 550. The flap 550 includes a stop portion 451 and an extension portion 552 connected thereto. The stopper 451 is configured to be inserted into the first hollow hole 422 a. The extending portion 552 passes through the first hollow hole 422a and has a second hollow hole 552 a. The body 410 has an engaging hole 411b 1. The fixing member 540 passes through the second hollow hole 552a and engages with the engaging hole 411b1, so that the blocking piece 550 is limited by the second hollow hole 552a, and the blocking portion 451 is continuously inserted into the first hollow hole 422 a.

Specifically, the fixing member 540 rotatably engages with the engaging hole 411b1 based on the first axial direction a1, and has a penetrating portion 541 inserted into the second hollow hole 552 a. The crossing portion 541 has a first width W1 (see fig. 8B and 8C) and a second width W2 (see fig. 8A) in a second axial direction a2 and a third axial direction A3 (see fig. 10) substantially perpendicular to the first axial direction a1, respectively. In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 10, the fixing member 540 has a cylindrical shape, and the central portion thereof having a recess is used as the passing portion 541 inserted into the second hollow hole 552 a. As shown in fig. 9, the second hollow hole 552a extends away from the stopper portion 451 along the fourth axial direction a4 to form a long slot, and has a third width W3 and a fourth width W4 with respect to the fourth axial direction a4 at two locations adjacent to and away from the stopper portion 451, respectively. The first width W1 is less than the third width W3 and greater than the fourth width W4. The second width W2 is less than the fourth width W4. Thus, as shown in fig. 8A and with reference to fig. 9 and 10, when the fixing member 540 is rotated to make the third axial direction A3 substantially parallel to the fourth axial direction a4 of the second hollow hole 552a, the passing-through portion 541 of the fixing member 540 will be caught by the inner edge of the second hollow hole 552a and cannot move along the fourth axial direction a4 of the second hollow hole 552a, so as to limit the stopper 550 through the second hollow hole 552a and make the stopper 451 continuously insert into the first hollow hole 422 a. Since the fixing member 540 limits the freedom of movement of the extension portion 552 with respect to the engagement hole 411b1, and the stopper portion 451 inserted into the first hollow hole 422a limits the freedom of the elastic arm portion 422, the elastic arm portion 422 is prevented from being bent. In other words, in the case shown in fig. 8A, the pressing portion 421 cannot be pressed to sink into the through hole 411 a.

Please refer to fig. 8B and fig. 8C. Fig. 8B is another partial cross-sectional view of the housing assembly 500 of fig. 8A. Fig. 8C is a partial cross-sectional view of the housing assembly 500 of fig. 8B in another operational state. As shown in fig. 8B and 8C, with reference to fig. 9 and 10, since the second width W2 is smaller than the fourth width W4, when the fixing member 540 is rotated to make the second axial direction a2 thereof parallel to the fourth axial direction a4 of the second hollow hole 552a, the passing-through portion 541 of the fixing member 540 can move along the fourth axial direction a4 of the second hollow hole 552a without being caught by the inner edge of the second hollow hole 552a, that is, when the pressing portion 421 is pressed, since the fixing member 540 gives the freedom of movement of the extending portion 552 relative to the engaging hole 411B1, the stopping portion 451 is separated from the first hollow hole 422 a. Accordingly, the elastic arm portion 422 can be bent and deformed, and the pressing portion 421 is allowed to sink into the through hole 411a, and the engagement with the engagement hole 132 is released.

In the present embodiment, the fixing member 540 can rotate with respect to the engaging hole 411b1, and is not required to be detached through the through channel 421a and taken out of the main body 410, so that the problem of loss of the fixing member 540 due to dropping can be reduced.

In addition, the mechanism of the elastic arm portion 422 with bending deformation pushing the stop portion 451 of the blocking piece 550 away from the first hollow hole 422a is the same as or similar to the embodiment shown in fig. 5A to 5C, which is not repeated herein.

In some embodiments, the second axis a2 and the third axis A3 are substantially perpendicular to each other, but the invention is not limited thereto.

As is apparent from the above detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention, the housing assembly of the present invention integrates the button and the fixing member into the body, and the button and the fixing member cooperate with each other to perform the anti-theft function. Specifically, by installing the fixing member in the body or adjusting the fixing member already installed in the body, the button can be blocked by the fixing member and cannot be pressed, so that the body cannot be detached relative to the base correspondingly; by removing the fixture from the body or adjusting the fixture already installed in the body, the button can be disengaged from the fixture to allow it to be pressed, thereby correspondingly allowing the body to be disassembled relative to the base. Because the button can not be pressed when being blocked by the fixing piece, the damage probability of the button can be effectively reduced, and the service life of the button is prolonged.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to the above embodiments, it should be understood that various changes and modifications can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
