Description

Shell structure and electronic host device

Technical Field

The present disclosure provides a housing structure and a host device, and more particularly, to a housing structure and an electronic host device that can be opened and closed.

Background

After the computer product is manufactured and produced to the user end, under the condition of long-term use, consumable elements need to be cleaned and replaced regularly, so that the normal operation of the system is maintained, and the life cycle of the product is prolonged. Therefore, how to rapidly disassemble and assemble the internal components becomes a design focus. However, the computer product is limited by the appearance of the housing, and the front internal components cannot be effectively disassembled without disassembling the housing. Furthermore, limited by the height and position of the rear element, the screwdriver is not easy to handle and the screw risks slipping.

Accordingly, a manufacturer develops a housing in which the front frame can be opened by rotating the front frame, and the front frame can be opened by rotating the front frame relative to the main housing. However, when the housing is placed on the desktop for operation, if the front frame simply rotates in a circumferential manner, since the front frame itself has a thickness, the front side of the front frame will interfere with the desktop before being opened to be parallel to the desktop during the opening process by rotation, so that the front frame cannot be opened to a greater extent, which will lead to difficulty in maintenance.

Although the manufacturers use the mechanism principle of the parallelogram link to add two link rods pivoted with each other between the front frame and the rear seat shell to increase the freedom of movement of the front frame, under the condition of multiple degrees of freedom, the user is liable to not rotate in place immediately during operation, even the assembly is wrong. Therefore, how to improve the problem is an objective to be achieved in the art.

Detailed Description

Please refer to fig. 1 and fig. 2. Fig. 1 is a perspective view of an electronic host device 10 according to an embodiment of the disclosure. Fig. 2 is a partially exploded view of the housing structure 100 of the electronic host device 10 according to the embodiment of fig. 1. As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the housing structure 100 includes a rear housing 110, a front housing 120, a rotating rod 130, and a sliding rod 140. The front frame housing 120 is pivotally connected to the rear housing 110 and includes a side plate 122 and an arc-shaped groove 124. The arcuate channels 124 are located in the side plates 122. One end 132 of the lever 130 is pivotally connected to the rear housing 110, and the other end 134 of the lever 130 is pivotally connected to the front frame housing 120. One end 142 of the slide bar 140 is pivotally connected to the rear housing 110, and the other end 144 of the slide bar 140 is limited to the arc-shaped groove 124 and is configured to move along the arc-shaped groove 124.

Please refer to fig. 3 to 5. Fig. 3 is a schematic side view of the housing structure 100 of the electronic host device 10 according to the embodiment of fig. 1, placed on a desktop 200 and in a closed position. Fig. 4 is a schematic side view illustrating the housing structure 100 of the electronic host device 10 according to the embodiment of fig. 1 being placed on the desktop 200 and being opened. Fig. 5 is a schematic side view of the housing structure 100 of the electronic host device 10 according to the embodiment of fig. 1, placed on a desktop 200 and in an open position. As can be seen from fig. 3 to 5, when the other end 144 of the sliding rod 140 moves in the arc-shaped groove 124 and the front frame housing 120 moves and rotates relative to the rear seat housing 110, the front frame housing 120 is guided to switch from the covering position of fig. 3 to the opening position of fig. 5.

In the case structure 100 of the embodiment, the arc-shaped groove 124 is disposed on the side plate 122, the one end 132 of the rotating rod 130 is pivotally connected to the rear casing 110, the other end 134 of the rotating rod 130 is pivotally connected to the front frame casing 120, the one end 142 of the sliding rod 140 is pivotally connected to the rear casing 110, and the other end 144 of the sliding rod 140 is limited to the arc-shaped groove 124 and is configured to move along the arc-shaped groove 124, so that during the opening process of the case structure 100, the front frame casing 120 has a translational function in addition to the rotation with respect to the rear casing 110. Therefore, during the process that the other end 144 of the sliding rod 140 moves along the arc-shaped groove 124 to guide the front frame housing 120 to switch from the closed position to the open position, the front frame housing 120 can move upwards to avoid colliding with the desktop 200, and therefore can be opened to a desired angle, which is beneficial to the maintenance of the electronic host device 10. It should be noted that, in the present disclosure, only one side plate of the front frame housing may be provided with one arc-shaped groove, and the number of the swing rods and the slide rods of the housing structure is one and corresponds to the one side plate and the arc-shaped groove, but two side plates of the front frame housing may be provided with two arc-shaped grooves, and the number of the swing rods and the slide rods of the housing structure is two and corresponds to the two side plates and the two arc-shaped grooves, respectively.

In addition, through the configuration of the sliding rod 140 and the arc-shaped groove 124, a complicated parallelogram link mechanism is not required to be manufactured, and the relative movement between the front frame shell 120 and the rear seat shell 110 is designed to have a degree of freedom, so that a user can rapidly assemble and disassemble the shell structure 100, thereby avoiding installation errors, being beneficial to improving the working efficiency, reducing the number of connecting rods and saving the component cost.

Please refer to fig. 1 to fig. 5. In the present embodiment, the arc-shaped groove 124 has a circular arc shape. The arc shape can be regarded as a virtual point where one end of a virtual line segment is fixed on the side plate 122, and the other end of the virtual line segment rotates by taking the virtual point as a pivot, but the shape of the arc groove is not limited to this. In the present embodiment, the shape, position, length and relative position of the rotating rod 130 and the sliding rod 140 are designed such that the covering position and the opening position of the front frame casing 120 are 90 degrees, that is, when the casing structure 100 is placed on the table top 200, the opening position of the front frame casing 120 is parallel to the table top 200. In other embodiments, the shape, position, length, and relative position of the rotating rod and the sliding rod of the arc-shaped groove can be designed according to different requirements, so that different angles are formed between the opening position and the covering position of the front frame shell. In the present embodiment, the slide bar 140 is shaped like an arc, the slide bar 140 includes a limiting block 146 disposed at the other end 144 of the slide bar 140, and the limiting block 146 is disposed in the arc-shaped groove 124 and is used to limit the other end 144 of the slide bar 140 to the arc-shaped groove 124. The shape of the rotating rod 130 is substantially a straight bar, and the rotating rod 130 has a curved structure locally, so that the rotating rod 130 and the end 142 of the sliding rod 140 can be staggered to avoid interference when the rotating rod 130 and the sliding rod 140 move, but in other embodiments, the shapes of the sliding rod and the rotating rod are not limited thereto.

In the embodiment, the rear housing 110 includes a bottom plate 112 and a supporting base 114 disposed on the bottom plate 112, and the rotating rod 130 and the sliding rod 140 are pivotally connected to the supporting base 114. In detail, the rear housing 110 may be a rectangular frame structure and the bottom plate 112 and the wall plate 116 surround to form a space for accommodating components, the rear housing 110 may include an opening, the supporting base 114 is adjacent to the opening, and one end 132 of the rotary rod 130 and one end 142 of the sliding rod 140 are pivotally connected to the supporting base 114. Thus, during the opening process of the front frame shell 120, the rotating rod 130 rotates with the end 132 pivoted to the supporting base 114 as a fulcrum, and the sliding rod 140 rotates with the end 142 pivoted to the supporting base 114 as a fulcrum, thereby driving the front frame shell 120 to move, and exposing the opening for maintaining the components. In other embodiments, the rotary rod and the sliding rod can be directly pivoted to the wall plate.

In the embodiment, the rear housing 110 further includes two stopping portions 118 and 119 located on the supporting base 114 for the rotating rod 130 to abut against when the front frame housing 120 is located at the covering position and when the front frame housing is switched to the opening position. When the front frame housing 120 is located at the covering position, the lower side of the rotating rod 130 abuts against the stopping portion 119 located below, and when the front frame housing 120 is located at the opening position, the upper side of the rotating rod 130 abuts against the stopping portion 118 located above, so that the moving range of the front frame housing 120 is limited within the designed range. In other embodiments, the number of the stopping portions is at least one, and when the front frame shell is switched to the opening position, the rotating rod abuts against the stopping portions, which is not limited to this.

In the present embodiment, the curved groove 124 is located above the other end 134 of the lever 130, and the other end 134 of the lever 130 is located at a lower position when the front frame housing 120 is in the closed position than the other end 134 of the lever 130 when the front frame housing 120 is in the open position. As shown in fig. 3 to 5, when the bezel housing 120 is in the closed position, the other end 134 of the lever 130 is at a height H1 from the tabletop 200. In fig. 4, when the front frame housing 120 is opened and the front side of the front frame housing 120 approaches the desk 200, the moving direction of the front frame housing 120 is as shown by the arrow in fig. 4, so that the front frame housing 120 can be opened smoothly. Therefore, as shown in fig. 5, when the front frame housing 120 is in the open position, the other end 134 of the rotating rod 130 has a height H2 from the table top 200, and the height H2 is greater than the height H1. Therefore, in the opening process of the front frame housing 120, the front frame housing 120 rotates and moves upward relative to the rear seat housing 110, so as to avoid the interference between the front side of the front frame housing 120 and the table top 200.

In the present embodiment, the housing structure 100 further includes an opening and closing mechanism 150, and the opening and closing mechanism 150 includes a button 152 disposed on the side plate 122 of the front frame housing 120, a fixing post 154, and a fixing hole 156 disposed on the rear frame housing 110. The side plate 122 is provided with a hole, and the fixing column 154 passes through the hole and extends from the outer side to the inner side of the side plate 122 to be connected with the button 152, so that the fixing column 154 and the button 152 can be linked. When the housing structure 100 is not disassembled, the fixing posts 154 are located in the fixing holes 156, so that the front frame housing 120 and the rear seat housing 110 are fastened to each other by the limiting force between the fixing posts 154 and the fixing holes 156. When the user wants to disassemble the housing structure 100, the user presses the button 152, so that the fixing post 154 is retracted into the side plate 122 in the direction of pressing the button 152 and is pulled out of the fixing hole 156, and the front frame housing 120 and the rear frame housing 110 can rotate relatively due to the loss of the limiting force.

Please continue to refer to the electronic host device 10 shown in fig. 1 to 5. The electronic host device 10 may further include an integrated circuit module 12, wherein the integrated circuit module 12 is located in the housing structure 100. In addition, the electronic host device 10 further includes a switch 14 and a wire 16. The switch key 14 is provided in the front frame case 120. The wires 16 electrically connect the switch keys 14 to the integrated circuit module 12. Through the housing structure 100 of the present embodiment, the electronic host device 10 is easily disassembled, so as to achieve the effect of quick maintenance. In other embodiments, the housing structure is not limited to be applied to the electronic host device, but can be applied to other devices that need to be opened and closed.
