Description

Electronic device

The present invention relates to an electronic device, and more particularly to an electronic device having a drop prevention function.

For a small-sized electronic device such as a mobile phone or a game machine, it is easy to fall due to a user's mistake during carrying or use.

To this end, a common practice is to set a protective cover made of a soft plastic material on the outside of an electronic device such as a mobile phone or a game machine. When the electronic device is dropped, the cover is protected by a flexible protective cover and the ground. To protect the electronic device. However, the protective cover usually covers most of the electronic device, affecting the use, and is not aesthetically pleasing. In addition, the protective cover also affects heat dissipation, which may cause damage to internal components of the electronic device.

In view of the above, it is necessary to provide an electronic device having a drop-proof function while having a better appearance.

An electronic device includes a first housing, a second housing that is engaged with the first housing, and a buffering member disposed between the first housing and the second housing, the buffer member surrounding the first housing and the first housing a closed annular structure of the two casings, the first casing has a first edge, the second casing has a second edge, the buffering member includes a first buffer portion and a second buffer portion, and the first buffer portion is clamped to the first shell Between the body and the second housing, a gap is formed between the first housing and the second housing, and the second buffer portion is opposite to the first edge of the first housing and the second housing The two edges protrude laterally.

The first buffer portion of the buffer member in the electronic device avoids direct contact between the first housing and the second housing, and absorbs the force between the first housing and the second housing. When the electronic device accidentally falls, the second buffer portion protrudes from the first edge of the first casing and the second edge of the second casing, and the second buffer portion contacts the ground, so that part of the impact force can be absorbed. To avoid damage to the electronic device. In addition, the buffer member is a part of the electronic device and is partially located inside the electronic device, so the electronic device has a better appearance.

The electronic device of the present invention may be a mobile phone, a handheld game console, a teach pendant, or the like. The electronic device provided by the present invention will be further described in detail below by taking the teaching device as an example and referring to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to FIG. 1 , a teach pendant 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a first housing 10 , a second housing 30 that is engaged with the first housing 10 , and a first housing 10 and a second housing 30 . The buffer member 50 between.

Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 simultaneously, the first housing 10 includes a first bottom wall 11 and a first bottom wall. A first side wall 13 extending perpendicularly to the periphery of the 11 and a first holding portion 15 adjacent to the first side wall 13 are formed. The first bottom wall 11 has a first edge 111 and the first edge 111 is a curved surface. A screw hole (not shown) is further disposed on the first bottom wall 11.

The second housing 30 includes a second bottom wall 31 , a second side wall 33 extending perpendicularly from a circumference of the second bottom wall 31 , and a second holding portion 35 adjacent to the second side wall 33 . The second bottom wall 31 has a second edge 311, and the second edge 311 is a curved surface. A screw hole 313 is also formed in the second bottom wall 31.

Referring to FIG. 2 to FIG. 5 simultaneously, the cushioning member 50 is a closed annular structure surrounding the first casing 10 and the second casing 30, and is made of an elastic material. The cushioning member 50 includes a first buffer portion 51 and a second buffer portion 53. The first trench 55 and the second trench 57 are formed between the first buffer portion 51 and the second buffer portion 53. The first buffer portion 51 includes a first buffer 511 and a second buffer 513. The first buffer 511 separates the first trench 55 and the second trench 57. The second buffer 513 and the second buffer portion 53 are separated. They are respectively located on opposite sides of the first buffer 511. The second buffer portion 53 is an arcuate convex portion having a curved outer surface 531. In the present embodiment, the cushioning member 50 is made of rubber. It can be understood that the buffer member 50 can also be a semi-closed structure as long as the teach pendant 100 can be protected.

Referring to FIG. 2, FIG. 3 and FIG. 5, when the teaching device 100 of the embodiment of the present invention is assembled, the first side wall 13 of the first casing 10 is clamped in the first groove 55 of the cushioning member 50, The second side wall 33 of the second housing 30 is retained in the second groove 57 of the cushioning member 50. The second buffer 513 of the first buffer portion 51 is clamped between the first side wall 13 of the first casing 10 and the first holding portion 15 . The buffer member 50 separates the first housing 10 and the second housing 30, and after the first housing 10 and the second housing 30 are engaged, the first holding portion 15 and the second holding portion 35 are stored between Clearance A. Finally, a screw (not shown) is passed through the second housing 30 from the screw hole 313 of the second bottom wall 31 of the second housing 30 and screwed into the screw hole of the first housing 10. The first housing 10 and the second housing 30 are firmly connected.

The second buffer portion 53 of the cushioning member 50 of the teach pendant 100 is laterally protruded with respect to the edges of the first bottom wall 11 of the first casing 10 and the second bottom wall 31 of the second casing 30. When the teach pendant 100 is accidentally dropped, the second buffer portion 53 can absorb the impact force received by the side of the teach pendant 100. The first buffer portion 51 of the buffer member 50 separates the first housing 10 and the second housing 30, and absorbs the teaching device 100 in the first housing 10 and the second housing 30 due to the positive impact force. The force generated between the gaps A formed between the first holding portion 15 and the second holding portion 35 prevents the first housing 10 and the second housing 30 from coming into direct contact. Therefore, the cushioning member 50 can simultaneously absorb the lateral and positive impact forces of the teach pendant 100 to prevent the teach pendant 100 from being damaged. The buffer member 50 has only the second buffer portion 53 and the outer surface 531 is located outside the teach pendant 100, and the rest is located inside the teach pendant 100, so that the teach pendant 100 can have a better appearance.

In addition, the first edge 111 of the first casing 10 and the second edge 311 of the second casing 30 smoothly transition with the outer surface 531 of the second buffer portion 53, so that the teaching device 100 further has a better appearance.

It can be understood that the first buffer portion 51 of the buffering member 50 is used for buffering the force between the first housing 10 and the second housing 30, and the shape thereof can be based on the inside of the first housing 10 and the second housing 30. The structure changes, so it can be other shapes. For example, when the first holding portion 15 is not disposed on the first casing 10, the second buffer portion 513 of the first buffer portion 51 may be omitted, and only the first buffer region 511 is retained.

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. Equivalent modifications or variations made by persons skilled in the art in light of the spirit of the invention are intended to be included within the scope of the following claims.
