DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a housing and a method of fabricating the same. [Prior Art] A metal coating on a portable electronic product is usually coated with a decorative coating or a protective coating to improve the decorative performance or performance of the product. The method of forming a coating on a metal casing is usually a liquid coating or a solid powder coating. Solid powder coating is widely used due to its high coating recycling rate, environmental protection during spraying. In the current production of trademarks or logos on the powder coating of metal casings, printing inks are usually used. The printed trademark or logo pattern is generally thin in thickness, has no three-dimensional effect, and has a low adhesion to the powder coating, which is easily worn during use, thereby affecting the appearance of the product. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above, it is necessary to provide a housing having a surface having a strong stereoscopic Φ feeling, and the pattern is not easily worn by the housing during use. In addition, it is also necessary to provide a method of manufacturing the above casing. A casing comprising a base body, a powder coating formed on the base body, and a pattern layer formed in the powder coating layer, wherein the coating layer is formed with a groove, and the pattern layer is filled in the The sol in the groove. A method for manufacturing a casing, comprising the steps of: providing a substrate; spraying a powder coating on the surface of the substrate; etching a groove on the powder coating; 201010569 filling the groove with a sol body. The casing of the present invention forms a pattern or a signature pattern of the casing by first forming a groove in the powder coating layer and filling the groove with a sol body to form a pattern. The pattern may have a strong three-dimensional effect and is not easily worn during use. The manufacturing method of the casing of the present invention etches the groove on the powder coating by etching, and the modification of the groove pattern can be faster and more efficient. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A housing 10 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, includes a base body 11, a powder coating 13 formed on the base 11, and a powder coating 13 formed therein. Pattern layer 15. The base member is a metal substrate, and the material for forming the substrate 11 may be aluminum or an alloy, magnesium or magnesium alloy, titanium or titanium alloy. The powder coating layer 13 is formed by spraying on the surface of one of the substrates 11 by electrostatic powder coating. The coating forming the powder coating layer 13 may be a polyurethane resin powder or an epoxy resin powder. The thickness of the powder coating layer 13 is between 60 φ φ 90 μηι. The powder coating layer 13 is formed with a groove which can be formed by laser etching. The groove pattern is provided as a trademark or other decorative pattern of the product, the depth of the groove being comparable to the thickness of the powder coating 13. The pattern layer 15 is formed by filling a sol body in a groove of the powder coating layer 13. The filled sol body contains an acrylic resin, a leveling agent, a curing agent, and an organic solvent, and the organic solvent may be benzene, toluene or diphenylbenzene. The corresponding pigment may also be added to the sol according to the color of the product. The filled sol has a good leveling property which can be uniformly filled in the grooves. After filling 201010569, the casing ίο is heated to solidify the sol body filled in the groove. After the sol body is cured, a pattern 15 layer is formed, and the surface of the casing 10 forms a trademark or pattern having a strong three-dimensional feeling. The manufacturing method of the housing 10 of the preferred embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps: A substrate 11 is provided. The substrate 11 may be a metal substrate, and the material of the substrate 11 may be an alloy of the name or is, a town or a magnesium alloy, titanium or a titanium alloy. A powder coating 13 is sprayed on the surface of one of the substrates 11. The powder coating 13 can be sprayed onto the surface of the substrate 11 by electrostatic powder coating. Spraying • Before the powder coating 13, the surface of the substrate 11 may be sandblasted to roughen the surface of the substrate 11 and enhance the adhesion of the powder coating 13 to the surface of the substrate 11. The coating for spraying the powder coating layer 13 may be selected from a polyurethane resin powder or an epoxy resin powder. The thickness of the powder coating 13 may be between 60 and 90 μm. A groove is etched on the powder coating 13. The groove can be formed by laser etching. A laser source is provided to cause the laser source to emit a laser beam onto the powder coating 13 in accordance with a _ set pattern or trademark path, and a groove is etched into the powder coating layer 13. The depth of the groove can be comparable to the thickness of the coating 13. A sol body is filled at the groove. The sol is a solvent of an acrylic resin, and the sol may further contain a leveling agent, a curing agent, and an organic solvent, and the organic solvent may be benzene, toluene or xylene. The corresponding pigment may also be added to the sol body as needed for the color of the product. The sol body can be filled by syringe injection. The filled sol body has better leveling properties and can be uniformly filled in the grooves. After filling, the casing 10 is heated by 9 201010569 to solidify the sol, and the heating temperature is about 200 °C. After the sol body filled in the groove is solidified, a pattern 15 layer is formed, and the surface of the casing 10 forms a trademark or pattern having a strong three-dimensional feeling. The surface of the pattern layer 15 formed by the filling may be flush with the surface of the powder coating layer 13. It will be understood that the depth of the groove etched on the powder coating 13 may also be less than the thickness of the powder coating 13. It can be understood that the surface of the pattern layer 15 formed by the filling may also be lower than the appearance surface of the powder coating layer 13, so that the pattern layer 15 of the casing 10 is not easily worn away during use. The housing 10 of the preferred embodiment of the present invention forms a pattern layer by first etching a groove on the powder coating layer 13 formed on the substrate 11, and filling the groove with a sol body having a good leveling property. 15, to make a trademark or iconic pattern of the casing 10. The pattern layer 15 has a strong three-dimensional effect and is not easily worn during use. In addition, in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the manufacturing method of the casing 10 is performed by laser etching to etch a groove with a preset @ trademark or pattern grain on the powder coating layer 13, which is faster and more efficient in modifying the pattern. The casing 10 of the preferred embodiment of the present invention may be a housing of an electronic device such as a mobile phone, a game machine, a camera, or the like, or may be a cover or a container-like article. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Fig. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing a casing of a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
