The dismounting structure 100 of the embodiment is used for disassembling or assembling a first housing 10 and a second housing 20. 1A is an exploded perspective view of a dismounting structure, a first housing, and a second housing in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1B is a schematic view showing the combination of the dismounting structure of FIG. 1A and the first housing. FIG. 1C is a schematic view showing the appearance of the disassembling structure, the first casing and the second casing of FIG. 1A. In FIG. 1B, the second housing 20 is hidden to clearly reveal the condition after assembly and disassembly of the disassembly structure 100. Referring to FIG. 1A , FIG. 1B and FIG. 1C , the dismounting structure 100 of the embodiment includes a first engaging portion 110 , a first inclined surface 120 , a button 130 , a sliding seat 140 , an elastic member 150 , and a first A stop portion 160 and a circuit module 170.

The first engaging portion 110 and the first inclined surface 120 are disposed on the second housing 20 . The first housing 10 has a hole 12, and the button 130 is movably received in the hole 12, and a part of the button 130 is exposed to the first housing 10. The button 130 has a middle portion 132 and two opposite end portions 134. The button 130 is screwed to the sliding seat 140 by the middle portion 132. The circuit module 170 is disposed on the sliding seat 140 and is fixed to the sliding seat 140 by screwing. The circuit module 170 includes two switches 172 that are located on one side of the button 130 and that correspond to the two ends 134 of the button 130, respectively. Each end 134 of the button 130 is adapted to rotate slightly relative to the midsection 132 to trigger the corresponding switch 172. In the present embodiment, the button 130 is a volume control button, and the two end portions 134 are respectively pressed to correspond to an increase in volume and a decrease in volume. However, the type and use of the button 130 are not limited thereto.

The sliding seat 140 includes a second engaging portion 142 , a second inclined surface 144 and two second stopping portions 146 . When the first housing 10 is assembled to the second housing 20 , the first engaging portion 110 is coupled to the second engaging portion 142 to fix the first housing 10 to the second housing 20 . Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 1B, the two second stops 146 correspond to the two ends 134, respectively, for limiting the range of rotation of the ends 134 relative to the midsection 132. When the button 130 is not pressed, there is a gap I between each of the second stopping portions 146 and the corresponding end portions 134 for the end portion 134 to swing.

The elastic member 150 has a first end 152 and a second end 154 opposite to each other. The first end 152 of the elastic member 150 is coupled to the sliding seat 140 , and the second end 154 of the elastic member 150 is coupled to the first stopping portion 160 . The first stopping portion 160 is fixed to the first housing 10, so that the deformation of the elastic member 150 can drive the sliding seat 140 to move relative to the first housing 10. In the present embodiment, when the disassembly structure 100 is assembled (as shown in FIG. 1B), the elastic position of the elastic member 150 is minimized.

Referring to FIG. 3, in order to facilitate the operator to apply the correct force and disassemble or assemble the first housing 10 and the second housing 20 in a relatively simple manner, in the embodiment, the disassembly structure 100 further includes an auxiliary. The member 180 has a first protrusion 182 and a second protrusion 184. The first protrusion 182 and the second protrusion 184 are smaller in size than the hole 12, making it suitable for extending into the hole 12. The operator can grip the auxiliary member 180 and disassemble or assemble according to the action required to push the first protrusion 182 or the second protrusion 184 toward the button 130 until the first protrusion 182 or the second protrusion The 184 completely enters the hole 12 , so that the button 130 drives the sliding seat 140 to compress the elastic member 150 to disengage the first engaging portion 110 from the second engaging portion 142 . The detailed use of the auxiliary member 180 will be described below.

4A to 4D are schematic perspective views of the first housing and the second housing removed by using the dismounting structure of FIG. 1A. 5A to 5D are partial cross-sectional views of Figs. 4A to 4D. When the first housing 10 and the second housing 20 are to be disassembled, first, the first protrusion 182 of the auxiliary member 180 is first aligned with the button 130 (as shown in FIG. 4A), at this time, due to the first housing 10 The second engaging portion 142 of the sliding seat 140 and the first engaging portion 110 disposed on the second housing 20 are in a fitting state, and the sliding seat 140 is located at an initial position P1 ( As shown in Figure 5A).

Then, the first protrusion 182 is pushed toward the button 130 to separate the first housing 10 from the second housing 20. During the pushing, the elastic member 150 is pressed to move the sliding seat 140 so that The first engaging portion 110 and the second engaging portion 142 are disengaged (as shown in FIGS. 4B and 5B ). At this time, the second inclined surface 144 of the sliding seat 140 contacts the first inclined surface 120 disposed on the second housing 20 . . In the condition that the elastic member 150 is continuously compressed, the second inclined surface 144 moves along the first inclined surface 120 (as shown in FIGS. 4C and 5C ), and the second housing 20 is along the elastic member 150 with respect to the first housing 10 . The first housing 10 is separated from the second housing 20 by moving in a direction perpendicular to the compression direction of the elastic member 150 (as shown in FIGS. 4D and 5D), and the sliding seat 140 is moved to a position. Remove position P2.

Figure 6A is a perspective view of the use of the aid of Figure 3 to push a button to move the slider to an assembled position. Figure 6B is a partial cross-sectional view of Figure 6A. 6C is a partial cross-sectional view of the first housing and the second housing when the sliding seat is in the assembled position. When the first housing 10 and the second housing 20 are assembled, the second protrusion 184 of the auxiliary member 180 is pressed against the button 130 (as shown in FIG. 6A). At this time, the sliding seat 140 is moved to an assembly position P3. As shown in FIG. 6B, a space S exists between the first engaging portion 110 and the first inclined surface 120, and the second engaging portion 142 of the sliding seat 140 is aligned with the space S. Then, the first housing 10 and the second housing 20 are engaged with each other such that the second engaging portion 142 and the second inclined surface 144 are located in the space S. Finally, the auxiliary member 180 is removed. At this time, the button 130, the sliding seat 140 and the elastic member 150 are not pressed, and the elastic member 150 returns to the original length to move the sliding seat 140 relative to the first housing 10 back to the initial position P1. The second engaging portion 142 is fitted to the first engaging portion 110 to complete the assembly of the first housing 10 and the second housing 20.

In the present embodiment, the length of the first protrusion 182 is substantially equal to the distance that the slider 140 moves from the initial position P1 (as shown in FIG. 5A) to the detachment position P2 (as shown in FIG. 5D), and the second protrusion The length of 184 is substantially equal to the distance the slider 140 moves from the initial position P1 (as shown in Figure 5A) to the assembled position P3 (as shown in Figure 6B). Since the distance that the slide seat 140 moves from the initial position P1 to the detachment position P2 is greater than the distance moved to the assembly position P3, the length of the first protrusion 182 is greater than the length of the second protrusion 184. As can be seen from the above description, the use of the auxiliary member 180 allows the operator to press the button 130 without calculating how much force is required, or how much distance the button 130 needs to be moved to move the slider 140 to the disassembly position P2 or the assembly position P3. Therefore, in addition to lowering the operator's technical threshold, the speed of disassembly or assembly can be accelerated.

In summary, the dismounting structure and the method of using the same according to the present invention utilize a button originally located on the first housing as a starting point for disassembling the first housing and the second housing. When the first housing and the second housing are to be disassembled, the push button is pushed to move the sliding seat to the disassembling position, the first engaging portion is disengaged from the second engaging portion, and the second inclined surface moves along the first inclined surface to make the second The housing is separated from the first housing. When the first housing and the second housing are to be assembled, the first housing and the second housing are moved after moving the sliding seat to the assembly position, and then the pressing button is released to move the sliding seat to the initial position, so that the second The engaging portion is fitted to the first engaging portion. The disassembly and assembly structure of the present invention is not only difficult to be perceived in appearance, but also can quickly and easily disassemble or assemble the two casings, and does not damage the casing and components.
