Abstract

The invention relates to a lock structure, especially relating to an electronic device and a housing lock structure. The electronic device includes a first casing, a second casing, a spring sheet, two iron blocks and two magnets. The first casing is rotationally connected to the second casing. The spring sheet is fixedly mounted on an inner side of the first casing. The two iron blocks are respectively fixedly mounted on each end of the spring sheet. The two magnets are respectively fixedly mounted on a position of the second casing corresponding to that of the iron blocks on the first casing. When the first casing and the second casing is closed, both end of the spring sheet are able to contact with the second casing and the iron blocks mounted on two ends of the spring sheet are attracted by the magnets. Thereby, the electronic device is able to be tightly closed. When pressing the outer side of the second casing near the spring sheet, the spring sheet is depressed and generates a deformation. The iron blocks mounted on the two ends of the spring sheet deviate from the original position and are away from the attractive region of the magnet. Thus, it is convenient to open the electronic device.

The electronic device and the housing lock structure of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to FIG. 1-4 together, the electronic device 100 includes a first housing 10 , a second housing 20 , and a housing latch structure 30 . The second outer casing 20 is provided with a receiving cavity (not shown) for closing and opening the first outer casing 10 and the second outer casing 20. The first housing 10 of the electronic device is rotatably coupled to the second housing 20.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, a cylindrical connecting member 12 is protruded at an intermediate position of the edge of the side of the first outer casing 10. The first protruding block 13 is protruded from the two ends of the connecting member 12 respectively. The diameter of each of the first bumps 13 is smaller than the diameter of the middle portion of the connecting member 12, and a fixing portion 22 is protruded from a side corresponding to each of the first bumps 13 on the side of the second outer casing 20, and each fixing portion Each of the first protrusions 13 of the connecting member 12 is received in the blind hole 23 of the corresponding fixing portion 22, so that the first outer casing 10 is rotatably connected to the second outer casing through the connecting member 12. 20 on. The hole depths of the two blind holes 23 are not equal, and the length of each of the first bumps 13 is smaller than the depth of the blind holes 23 having the largest hole depth.

The housing latch structure 30 includes a resilient piece 31, two iron blocks 40 and two magnets 50.

The elastic piece 31 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall 11 of the first outer casing. The two ends of the elastic piece 31 are fixedly mounted with an iron block 40. The second outer casing 20 is fixedly mounted with a magnet 50 at a position corresponding to the iron block 40. In the first outer casing 10 and the second outer casing 20, the ends of the elastic piece 31 mounted on the inner wall 11 of the first outer casing are attached to the second outer casing 20, and the iron block 40 mounted on both ends of the elastic piece 31 enters the magnet 50. In the attraction region 52, when the position of the first outer casing 16 close to the elastic piece 31 is pressed, the elastic piece 31 is deformed and the iron block 40 attached to both ends of the elastic piece 31 is deviated from the original position and is separated from the suction area 52 of the magnet 50.

Specifically, the elastic piece 31 includes a supporting portion 32 and two connecting portions 33 respectively connected to the two ends of the supporting portion and at an angle to the supporting portion. The angle between the supporting portion 32 and the connecting portion 33 is an obtuse angle, and an extending portion 34 extends from one end of each connecting portion 33 away from the supporting portion 32, and the extending portion is outwardly curved. Thus, the elastic piece 31 has a "several" shape structure. In the present embodiment, the support portion 32, the connecting portion 33, and the extending portion 34 have a rectangular structure. Three second bumps 14 are sequentially disposed in the vertical direction in the vicinity of the intermediate position of the first outer casing 11 on the side away from the connecting member 12, and three through holes 35 are arranged in the supporting portion 32, and each through hole 35 is provided. For engaging with a second protrusion 14, the elastic piece 31 is fixed to the first outer casing inner wall 11 through the three through holes 35 through the three second protrusions 14. In this embodiment, each of the second bumps 14 is circular, and a cross-sectional area of a portion of each of the second bumps 14 passing through the through hole 35 is equal to a cross-sectional area of the through hole 35, thereby 31 is fixedly engaged with the inner wall 11 of the first casing.

Each of the extending portions 34 is provided with an iron block 40. Specifically, one side of each of the extending portions 34 facing the first outer casing 20 to which the elastic piece 31 is fixed is attached with a double-sided adhesive 60 on each of the two sides. The other side of the glue 60 is pasted with an iron block 40 such that each of the iron blocks 40 is fixedly coupled to the elastic piece 31. In the present embodiment, the sizes of the iron block 40, the double-sided tape 60, and the extending portion 34 are substantially equal. Obviously, in another embodiment, the iron piece can be fixed to the extension portion 34 in a manner of being snapped or the like. In other embodiments, the elastic piece 31 is made of iron, and the iron block 40 and the double-sided tape 60 need not be disposed.

A magnet 50 is mounted on the inner wall (not shown) of the second outer casing 20 at a position corresponding to each extension 34 of the elastic piece 31. In the present embodiment, the magnet 50 is attached to the inner wall of the second outer casing 20 by the double-sided tape 60. When the first housing 10 and the second housing 20 of the electronic device 100 are closed, the extending portion 34 of the elastic piece 31 mounted on the inner wall 11 of the first housing can be attached to the outer wall 21 of the second housing and mounted on both ends of the elastic piece 31. The upper iron block 40 enters the suction region 52 of the magnet 50, so that the iron block 40 mounted on the extending portion 34 of the elastic piece 31 and the magnet 50 corresponding to the inner wall of the second outer casing 20 attract each other, so that the first in the electronic device 100 The outer casing 10 and the second outer casing 20 are tightly closed.

When the position of the outer wall 16 of the first outer casing is pressed close to the elastic piece 31, the elastic piece 31 is deformed, so that the angle between the support portion 32 on the elastic piece 31 and the connecting portion 33 is increased, and the extending portion 34 on the elastic piece 31 is displaced, so that The iron block 40 fixedly coupled to the elastic piece 31 is deviated from the original position and finally deviated from the suction area 52 of the magnet 50, so that the first outer casing 10 and the second outer casing 20 of the electronic device 100 can be opened. In this embodiment, a third bump 15 is further disposed on both sides of the support portion 32 of the elastic piece 31. The distance between the two third bumps 15 is equal to the width of the support portion 32 of the elastic piece 31, and the two The length of the third bump is substantially equal to the length of the elastic piece 31 in the vertical direction. In this embodiment, each of the third bumps 15 is parallel to one side of the support portion 32 in the vertical direction of the support portion 32, and the side of each of the third bumps 15 away from the support portion 32 is curved. The third protrusions 15 on the two sides of the supporting portion 32 ensure that the extending portion 34 of the elastic piece 31 moves in the vertical direction when the first outer casing 16 of the electronic device 100 is pressed, so that the extending portion 34 of the elastic piece 31 is more easily separated. The attraction region 52 of the magnet 50.

The above embodiments are only intended to illustrate the present invention and are not to be construed as limiting the embodiments of the present invention, and those skilled in the art will understand that the invention may be modified or equivalently modified without The spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention are deviated.
