Electronic device

The present invention relates to an electronic device, and more particularly to an electronic device having an internal support structure.

An electronic device having a plate-like structure such as a flat panel display or a keyboard usually includes a rear cover and a cover plate spanning the rear cover. When the size of the electronic device is large, the distance between the cover plate and the rear cover is also As a result of growth, the suspended portion of the cover is prone to bending, affecting its flatness and appearance. For this reason, a support structure is often added inside the electronic device to support the cover plate to avoid bending.

The utility model relates to an internal support structure of a flat panel display, which comprises two brackets fixed in parallel to the inside of the display, and a plurality of profiles between the two brackets, and the support of the brackets and the profiles can avoid bending of the panels. However, the structure of such an internal support structure is complicated and inconvenient to install. In addition, the internal support structure can not be adjusted after being fixed inside the display, so high processing precision and installation precision are required to ensure a good support panel and increase production cost.

In view of the above, it is necessary to provide an electronic device having a structurally simple and adjustable internal support structure.

An electronic device includes a housing, a cover plate coupled to the housing, and an internal support structure supporting the cover plate between the housing and the cover plate, the internal support structure including being fixed to the housing a supporting member on the body, a sliding member that is slidable relative to the supporting member and abutting against the cover plate, and a fastener connecting the supporting member and the sliding member, the supporting member is recessed to form a receiving groove, the receiving groove has an opening, and the sliding member has an opening The opening is received in the receiving slot, and a slot is formed in one of the sliding member and the supporting member, and the fastener passes through the receiving slot and the slot in a direction parallel to the cover and is slidable in the slot The slider is positioned in the different positions by the fastener and is held against the cover.

The internal support structure in the above electronic device supports the cover plate by the relatively movable support member and the sliding member, and has a simple structure. In addition, the slider is movable and the slider is positioned by the fasteners being held in different positions in the slider slot to maintain the slider against the cover for good support.

The electronic device of the present invention may be a flat panel display, a keyboard, or the like. The electronic device provided by the embodiment of the present invention will be further described in detail below by taking a flat panel display as an example and with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to FIG. 1 , a flat panel display 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a housing 10 , a cover 30 connected to the housing 10 , an internal support structure 50 between the housing 10 and the cover 30 , and a cover 30 . Connected display panel (not shown).

Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 simultaneously, the housing 10 has a bottom plate 11 and a peripheral edge from the bottom plate 11. The side wall 13 is formed to extend vertically.

The cover plate 30 is welded to the side wall 13 of the housing 10 away from one end of the bottom plate 11.

2 and 3, the inner support structure 50 includes a support member 51, a slide member 53, and a fastener 55. The slider 53 is partially received in the support member 51 and slidable relative to the support member 51 to abut against the cover plate 30, and the fastener 55 connects the support member 51 and the slide member 53.

The support member 51 includes a body 511 and a connecting plate 513 extending from an edge of the body 511. The body 511 has a first surface 5111, and a receiving groove 515 for accommodating the sliding member 53 is formed from the first surface 5111 toward the inside of the body 511. The receiving groove 515 has a bottom wall 5151 inclined relative to the first surface 5111 and opposite to the bottom wall 5151. Two edge extending side walls 5153. A fixing hole 5155 is defined in each of the side walls 5153, and the two fixing holes 5155 are coaxial. The support member 51 is fixedly coupled to the housing 10 by welding one end surface of the body 511 and the connecting plate 513 to the side wall 13 of the housing 10. It can be understood that the support member 51 can also be fixedly connected to the housing 10 by means of adhesive, screwing or the like.

Referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 simultaneously, the slider 53 has a sliding surface 531 and a first end surface 533 adjacent to the sliding surface 531. The sliding surface 531 is a sloped surface that is in contact with the bottom wall 5151 of the receiving groove 515 of the support member 51. When the sliding member 53 slides in the receiving groove 515, the distance between the sliding member 53 and the bottom plate 11 of the housing 10 can be gradually changed. . The first end surface 531 of the slider 53 is inserted through the other end surface (not shown) opposite thereto, and the card slot 535 is substantially parallel to the sliding surface 531 of the slider 53. The slider 53 is stopped at any position by the fastener 55 being held at different positions of the card slot 535.

The fastener 55 includes a screw 551 and a bolt 553 that cooperates with the screw 551. The diameter of the screw 551 is substantially the same as the width of the slot 535 perpendicular to the sliding surface 531 of the slider 53, so that the screw 551 is fitted into the slot 535 with friction therebetween.

Referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 simultaneously, when the flat panel display 100 is assembled, the support member 51 of the inner support structure 50 can be first welded to the side wall 13 of the casing 10. The sliding member 53 is placed in the receiving groove 515 of the supporting member 51, and then the screw 551 is sequentially passed through the fixing hole 5155 on one side wall 5153 of the receiving groove 515, the locking groove 535 of the sliding member 53, and the other side wall 5153 of the receiving groove 515. The upper fixing hole 5155 is engaged with the bolt 553 to fix the sliding member 53 to the supporting member 51. Finally, the cover 30 is welded to the housing 10.

After the cover 30 is welded to the casing 10, if the gap between the sliding member 53 and the cover 30 is present, the screw 551 of the fastener 55 can be pulled out from the slot 535 of the slider 53 to slide. The member 53 slides in the receiving groove 515. When the slider 53 abuts against the cover 30, the screw 551 can be snapped into the slot 535 of the slider 53 to fix the slider 53 again, thereby achieving the support.

The inner support structure 50 in the embodiment of the present invention supports the cover plate 30 of the flat panel display 100 by the sliding member 53 slidable in the support member 51, and has a simple structure. In addition, the bottom wall 5151 of the receiving groove 515 of the support member 51 and the sliding surface 531 of the sliding member 53 are inclined with respect to the cover plate 30. When the sliding member 53 and the cover plate 30 are stored in the gap, the sliding member 53 can be used. The sliding keeps the two in abutment and is supported by the screws 551 at different positions of the card slot 535. Therefore, the processing accuracy and installation accuracy are not high, and the production cost is also low.

It can be understood that the number of the inner support structures 50 can be one, and is disposed on the bottom line of the bottom plate 11 of the casing 10, or can be plural, and arranged side by side on the bottom plate 11 of the casing 10. The number and location of the inner support structures 50 can be determined based on the size of the flat panel display 100.

It can be understood that the slot 535 can also be formed on the side wall 5153 of the support member 51. Accordingly, a screw hole is formed on the sliding member 53 to be screwed with the screw 551 of the fastener 55.

In summary, the present invention complies with the requirements of the invention patent, and submits a patent application according to law. However, the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and equivalent modifications or variations made by those skilled in the art will be included in the following claims.
