Description

Button structure of electronic device

The invention relates to a buckle structure for covering an opening by using a cover plate, in particular to a buckle structure of an electronic device.

With the rapid development of computer technology and its hardware architecture, notebook computers have become the mainstream of the market. At the same time, in order to provide consumers with space for subsequent upgrades and expansion of equipment, there are some models in the industry where users can expand their own hardware devices. The casing of the above model will have an opening to form a reserved space inside the opening and the casing. The reserved space provides consumers with self-assembly and utilization, which facilitates the user to disassemble peripheral hardware devices.

On the other hand, in order to prevent dust or other foreign matter from entering the inside of the casing from the opening, the opening of the casing surface is provided with a shielding door cover, thereby achieving the effect of opening or closing such opening. A cover door cover is applied to a notebook computer and is fastened to the casing, as disclosed in U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 20120144749. In order to avoid unintended opening of the door cover under severe conditions such as vibration and impact of the external environment, it is easy to open, dustproof and waterproof.

However, U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 20120144749 has the following disadvantages: First, the number of constituent elements is large, and the number of gaps with respect to the lower elements is also large, resulting in poor dustproof and waterproof effects, complicated assembly, and increased manufacturing cost. Secondly, it is not provided with a structure for avoiding opening the door cover. Therefore, when a situation of accidental contact, vibration or impact occurs, the door cover is easily opened, so that the opening is exposed, resulting in the protection of the door cover and the loss of the waterproof function.

In view of the above, the inventors of the present invention have made great efforts to solve the above problems by focusing on the above-mentioned prior art, and have made great efforts to solve the above problems, which has become the object of development by the present inventors.

The object of the present invention is to provide a buckle structure of an electronic device, which is clamped between a door cover and a switch puller by a stopper, and the door cover is passed through the stopper to make a multi-stage with the switch puller. Adjust the positioning. The buckle door structure has the functions of convenient opening and complete protection, and the buckle door structure is further characterized by simplified components, simple assembly and low cost.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a buckle structure for an electronic device. The electronic device is provided with an opening and has a fastening portion. The buckle structure includes: a door cover pivotally connected to the electronic device and correspondingly The opening is configured; a switch puller is connected and slid to the door cover, the switch puller has a snap portion and a buckle portion; and a stop member is fixed on the door cover and clamped to the cover Between the door cover and the switch puller, the stop member has a resilient arm, and the elastic arm and the engaging portion are multi-stagely adjusted to drive the fastening portion to be engaged with the fastening portion, thereby The door cover is placed to cover the opening.

The invention also has the following effects:

First, the stopper is fixed on the door cover and clamped between the door cover and the switch puller, so that the door cover passes through the stopper to perform multi-stage adjustment and positioning with the switch puller. The buckle door structure can be made of simple components to facilitate the opening of the door cover and the function of shielding the opening of the door cover. It achieves the characteristics of protective electronic devices, simple assembly and reduced cost.

Second, the door cover and the switch puller are made of the same metal material. The stopper and the lock can be made of a plastic material, or can be made of the same metal material as the door cover and the switch puller. In order to avoid a potential difference between different metals, the buckle structure of the present invention does not cause the switch puller to slip due to corrosion. Achieving the buckle structure of the present invention has good structural durability.

Third, the door cover extends with two opposing bumps to form a track. The switch puller has two U-shaped blocks on both sides, and the two U-shaped blocks are fitted and slid corresponding to the two bumps. The door cover and the switch puller are configured by the concave and convex on the structure to generate the sliding purpose. In turn, the sliding of the switch puller is enhanced.
