Description

Housing and electronic device having the same

The present invention relates to a housing, and more particularly to a housing having a receiving slot for placing a nameplate.

As shown in FIG. 1, it is a housing 1a of an electronic device having a sign receiving slot. Generally, the housing 1a of the electronic device is mostly made of plastic, and in order to make the appearance of the plastic part more beautiful, the manufacturer usually paints the surface of the housing 1a after the plastic part is formed. The nameplate is attached to the accommodating groove 20a after the painting operation.

As shown in FIG. 2, it is a side cross-sectional view when the nameplate 40a is attached to the accommodating groove 20a. When the manufacturer performs the aforementioned painting operation, since the paint is fluid, the unsolidified paint will flow from a high place to a low place, and therefore, the paint applied to the first surface 111a will flow to The second surface 112a, and the accumulation of the second surface 112a; at this time, the paint deposited on the interface between the first surface 111a and the second surface 112a (ie, pointed by the arrow C) will cause the original receiving groove 20a The gap between the side wall 16a and the nameplate 40a becomes small, so that the nameplate 40a cannot be flatly placed in the accommodating groove 20a when it is placed.

Therefore, it is necessary to invent a new housing structure to solve the aforementioned problems.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A primary object of the present invention is to provide a housing and an electronic device having the housing that prevent the display panel from being placed flat in the receiving slot due to the accumulation of paint in the receiving slot.

In order to achieve the above object, the housing of the present invention is capable of placing a nameplate, and the housing includes a body and a receiving groove, wherein the body includes a surface, and the receiving groove is disposed on the surface; the receiving groove includes a main body a slot and an edge slot, wherein the main slot is for receiving a nameplate having a first depth, and the edge slot is located at an edge of the main slot and communicating with the main slot, the second slot having a second depth, wherein the second depth is greater than First depth.

The electronic device of the present invention includes the aforementioned housing.

The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more <

Please refer to Figure 3 to Figure 5 together. 3 is a schematic view showing the appearance of the electronic device of the present invention; FIG. 4 is a partial enlarged view of the casing of the present invention; and FIG. 5 is a side cross-sectional view of the casing of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 5, in the specific embodiment of the present invention, the casing 1 of the present invention may be the outer casing of the electronic device 90, but the invention is not limited thereto, and may also be a door panel of an automobile or Other various outer casings, door panels or panels with items that are marked with slots. In the specific embodiment of the present invention, the electronic device 90 of the present invention is a desktop computer, but the invention is not limited thereto. The electronic device 90 includes a housing 1 for placing a nameplate 40. The housing 1 includes a body 10, a receiving slot 20, a lacquer layer 30, and the nameplate 40.

As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, in an embodiment of the present invention, the body 10 The surface 11 includes a first surface 111, a second surface 112, and a third surface 113, wherein the first surface 111, the second surface 112, and the third surface 113 are not in the same planar position. The accommodating groove 20 is disposed on the surface 11 of the body 10 for receiving the nameplate 40. The accommodating groove 20 includes a main groove 21 and an edge groove 22, wherein the bottom surface of the main groove 21 is the second surface 112. The bottom surface of the inner side of the edge groove 22 is the third surface 113. In an embodiment of the present invention, the shape of the main groove 21 is configured to be substantially the same as the shape of the nameplate 40, and the main groove 21 has a first depth, and the first depth is the first surface 111 to the first The distance between the two surfaces 112; the edge groove 22 is located at the edge of the main groove 21, which is in communication with the main groove 21, and is disposed around the main groove 21; the edge groove 22 has a second depth, The second depth is the distance from the first surface 111 to the third surface 113, wherein the second depth is greater than the first depth; in a specific embodiment of the invention, the second depth is greater than the first depth X millimeters (mm), 0.1≦X≦0.5, but the invention is not limited thereto.

The lacquer layer 30 is attached to the surface 11 of the body 10. When the worker performs the painting process, the unsolidified paint will flow from a high place to a low place; since the first surface 111 of the casing 10 of the present invention and the second surface 112 are provided with edge grooves 22 Therefore, the paint on the first surface 111 will flow into the edge groove 22, and the paint sprayed on the second surface 112 will also spread to the peripheral edge groove 22 and will also accumulate in the edge groove 22.

The second depth of the edge groove 22 of the present invention can be designed with different depths for different paints, which can be tested to find the optimum depth, thereby passing through the edge groove 22 of the appropriate depth to completely accommodate the paint to accumulate The stacking height of the paint in the edge groove 22 can not be higher after the painting operation is completed. The second plane 112 prevents the buildup phenomenon as shown by the arrow C in Fig. 2. Therefore, by the design of the edge groove 22 of the present invention, the paint flowing from the high place can be accumulated in the edge groove 22 to avoid the influence of the paint deposited on the boundary between the first plane 111 and the second plane 112. The width of the accommodating groove 20 is such that the nameplate 40 remains flat when attached to the accommodating groove 20 of the casing 1 of the present invention.

It is to be noted that the foregoing embodiments are merely illustrative of the preferred embodiments of the invention, and are not described in detail. However, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that the above elements are not necessarily required. In order to implement the invention, other well-known components of the details may also be included. Each component may be omitted or modified as needed. For example, the edge groove 22 of the present invention is disposed around the main groove 21, but the edge groove 22 is not limited thereto, as long as the edge groove 22 is disposed at the edge of the main groove 21, regardless of Provided in a manner of being arranged around the main groove 21 or by a plurality of spacing rings (each of which is not connected to each other) can be regarded as the spirit of the invention; in detail, any of the foregoing The housing 1 having a receiving space having a depth greater than the depth of the main groove 21 between the two planes 112 and the first plane 111 (i.e., at the intersection of the high and low planes) is a technical feature of the present invention.

In summary, the present invention is a breakthrough in terms of its purpose, means and efficacy, and it is different from the characteristics of the prior art. It is a great breakthrough for the reviewer to ask for an early patent, and to benefit the society. Debian. It is to be noted that the above-described embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles of the invention and its advantages, and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Any person skilled in the art can make an embodiment without departing from the technical principles and spirit of the present invention. Modifications and changes.
