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

Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3 , the electronic device 100 of the embodiment of the present invention is a liquid crystal display device including a first housing 11 , a second housing 12 , a power switch 14 , a pressing assembly 16 , and an elastic returning member 18 .

The first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are slidable to each other. The first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are respectively a rear frame and a front frame of the liquid crystal display device. The first housing 11 is provided with a fixing portion 112 to mount the power switch 14.

The second housing 12 is provided with a sliding slot 121. The chute 121 has an elongated shape and is surrounded by an inner surface 1211 of the second casing 12 and two side walls 1212 which are disposed in parallel with each other and are respectively formed in an "L" shape and a connecting wall 1214. The two side walls 1212 also extend to form a limiting portion 1215, respectively. The two limiting portions 1215 are oppositely disposed and extend substantially in the extending direction of the vertical sliding slot 121. The connecting wall 1214 is formed at one end of the two side walls 1212 away from the limiting portion 1215. The second housing 12 also defines a button mounting hole 123. The button mounting hole 123 communicates with the chute 121. In the present embodiment, the button mounting hole 123 has a rectangular shape.

The power switch 14 includes a touch terminal 142. When the touch terminal 142 is touched, a control signal can be generated to control the power on and off.

The pressing assembly 16 includes a slider 161, an elastic pressing member 162, a trigger member 164, and a button 165. In this embodiment, the sliding member 161, the elastic pressing member 162 and the triggering member 164 are integrally formed.

The sliding member 161 is substantially a rectangular thin plate that can be passed through the sliding slot 121 and slidably coupled to the second housing 12. The elastic pressing member 162 has a sheet shape and is formed substantially in the sliding member 161. unit. The elastic pressing member 162 may be formed by punching and elastically bent toward one side of the slider 161. The resilient pressing member 162 includes a free end 1621 formed at the free end 1621 for triggering the power switch 14. The button 165 is fixedly coupled to the elastic pressing member 162 at a position corresponding to the trigger member 164.

The elastic returning member 18 is configured to provide an elastic force, and is disposed in the sliding slot 121, and the two ends abut against the connecting wall 1214 of the sliding slot 121 and the sliding member 161, respectively. In the present embodiment, the elastic return member 18 and the slider 161 are integrally formed. The elastic return member 18 includes two elastic pieces 181 disposed substantially in parallel. The two elastic pieces 181 are bent and extended to be elastically deformed when pressed or pulled.

During assembly, the power switch 14 is fixedly disposed on the fixing portion 112 of the first housing 11 , and the slider 161 is inserted from the side of the sliding slot 121 and slidably engaged with the sliding slot 121 . The button 165 is bored through the button mounting hole 123 and is fixedly coupled to the elastic pressing member 162. The first housing 11 is fastened to the second housing 12, and at this time, the free end 1621 of the elastic pressing member 162 extends obliquely toward the second housing 12.

4 and 5 are state diagrams of the trigger member 164 with respect to the power switch 14 in the first position and the second position, respectively. When the slider 161 slides relative to the sliding slot 121, the triggering member 164 can slide relative to the power switch 14 between the first position and the second position.

When the trigger member 164 is in the first position, the trigger member 164 is positioned opposite the power switch 14. At this time, by pressing the button 165, the trigger member 164 can be moved toward the touch terminal 142, and the trigger member 164 can just touch the touch terminal 142, so that the power switch 14 generates a control signal to turn off or turn on the power.

When the triggering member 164 is in the second position, the triggering member 164 is offset from the position of the power switch 14. At this time, even if the button 165 is pressed, the touch terminal 142 of the power switch 14 is not touched. It can effectively prevent the button 165 from being touched by the user when the electronic device 100 is used, resulting in unnecessary loss due to abnormal power cutoff, such as loss of information due to power failure, failure to save information or damage to hardware, etc. .

If the user needs to move the triggering member 164 from the second position to the first position, the force of the resilient returning member 18 is applied to overcome the elastic force of the resilient returning member 18, and the button 165 is pushed along the extending direction of the sliding slot 121 to gradually move the triggering member 164 to the power switch. The top of the touch terminal 142 of 14 is opposite to the power switch 14. During this process, the elastic return member 18 is elastically deformed and accumulates elastic potential energy. The range of movement of the elastic pressing member 162 can be restricted by the free end 1621 of the elastic pressing member 162 resisting the limiting portion 1215.

When the trigger member 164 is in the first position, the push button 165 can control the power switch 14. After the user releases the force, the elastic potential of the elastic returning member 18 is released, and the triggering member 164 follows the sliding member 161 to return to the second position by the elastic force of the elastic returning member 18.

It can be understood that the electronic device 100 can also be a notebook computer, a desktop computer case, or an integrated computer. The power switch 14 and the pressing component 16 are not limited to be respectively disposed on the first housing 11 and the second housing 12, and may be disposed on other components of the electronic device 100. In this case, the sliding slot and the pressing may be disposed on the corresponding component. The assembly 16 is slidably fitted.

In summary, the present invention has indeed met the requirements of the invention patent, and has filed a patent application according to law. However, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and it is not possible to limit the scope of the patent application of the present invention.
