The body 100b includes a card module 110, a data access module 120, and a case member 130 (for example, a D piece commonly known in the industry). The case member 130 includes a main body 131 and a cover body 133. The main body 131 has a receiving slot 131r for receiving the card module 110 and the data access module 120. The board module 110 and the data access module 120 are housed in the accommodating groove 131r, for example, in a stacked manner. The opposite inner walls of the accommodating groove 131r respectively have a button hole 131h and a pivot structure 131a. The opposite sides of the cover body 133 have a pivoting portion 133a and an engaging portion 133b, respectively. The pivoting portion 133a is coupled to the pivoting structure 131a such that the cover 133 is rotated relative to the main body 131 to be covered (as shown in FIG. 2A) or picked up (as shown in FIG. 2B). The engaging portion 133b is engaged with the buckle hole 131h when the lid body 133 is covered with respect to the main body 131.

The engagement state of the engaging portion 133b and the buckle hole 131h of the present embodiment can be released by a slight force applied by the user, so that the engagement state of the engaging portion 133b of the present embodiment is fixed by the user. The user can easily pick up the cover 133 to replace or repair the card module 110 or the data access module 120. As a result, in the past, it has been possible to remove the screws or the missing screws in the past. For the manufacturer, the main body 131 does not need to reserve a space and structure for the cover 133 to be locked, and the cost of the screw preparation and assembly can be reduced.

The body 100b of this embodiment will be further described below. Here, an example in which the pivoting structure 131a (shown in FIG. 3) and the pivoting portion 133a (shown in FIG. 4) are coupled to each other, but the pivoting structure 131a and the pivoting portion 133a are coupled to each other. The method is not limited to the examples here. The pivot structure 131a can be, for example, a cylinder, and the pivot portion 133a can be, for example, a C-shaped card slot. In the assembly, the pivotal structure 131a of the cylinder is inserted into the pivoting portion 133a via the notch of the pivoting portion 133a of the C-shaped card slot, so that the main body 131 and the cover 133 are pivotally connected to each other.

In addition, the cover body 133 of the embodiment has a main member 1331, an actuating structure 1332, and two connecting members 1334. The two connecting members 1334 are connected between the main member 1331 and the actuating structure 1332 such that the actuating structure 1332 is spaced apart from the main member 1331 by a distance. The pivoting portion 133a is located at the main member 1331, and the engaging portion 133b is located at the actuation structure 1332.

In more detail, the edge of the main member 1331 has a notch 133r. The actuating structure 1332 has a snapping arm 1332a and a biasing structure 1332b.

Move on the ground. The engaging elastic arm 1332a is slightly deformed by the urging structure 1332b. At this time, the distance between the actuating structure 1332 and the main member 1331 allows the urging structure 1332b to move and the engaging elastic arm 1332a to be deformed. That is, the urging structure 1332b and the engaging elastic arm 1332a do not interfere or collide with the main member 1331. In this way, the engaging portion 133b can be released from the fastening hole 131h to release the engaged state.

In the present embodiment, the engaging elastic arms 1332a are, for example, a U-shaped structure, and the two ends of the U-shaped structure are respectively connected to the two connecting members 1334. Further, the engaging elastic arm 1332a has a U-shape on the XZ plane. When the user pushes the engaging elastic arm 1332a by the biasing structure 1332b by the finger extending into the opening 1332h, the connection position of the engaging elastic arm 1332a and the two connecting members 1334 of the U-shaped structure can be regarded as a fulcrum, and The distance between the position at which the user applies force and the position of the fulcrum can be regarded as a force arm. In this way, the moment of formation allows the user to release the engagement state of the engaging portion 133b and the buckle hole 131h by a labor-saving manner.
