The sliding push button and the detailed structure of the positioning convex portion of the housing are displayed.

1 and 2, FIG. 1 is an external view showing a portable electronic device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a partial exploded view showing a portable electronic device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The portable electronic device 1 includes a casing 10, an outer cover 20, a sliding push button 30, and a latch 40. a housing opening 11 is formed on the housing 10. The outer cover 20 corresponds to the housing opening 11 and is adapted to close the housing opening 11 . An outer cover slot 23 is formed on the outer cover 20 . The outer cover 20 includes a first surface 21 and a second surface 22 . The first surface 21 is opposite to the second surface 22. The sliding button 30 includes a sliding portion 31 and a fixing portion 32. The sliding button 30 is disposed on the first surface 21 of the outer cover 20. The fixing portion 32 is connected to the sliding portion 31. The fixing portion 32 extends. It enters and passes through the outer cover slot 23. A latch 40 is provided on the second surface 22 of the outer cover 20.

Referring to FIGS. 3A and 3B, the fixing portion 32 is engaged with the latch 40. The latching member 40 includes a latching portion 41. The securing portion 32 includes two elastic members (33, 33'). The latching portion 41 includes a notch (41), and the elastic members (33, 33') extend. The recess (41) is inserted into the engaging portion 41 to engage with the fixing portion 32.

Referring to FIGS. 3A and 3C, the latch 40 is U-shaped, and the latch 40 includes two abutting portions 42, which are parallel to each other. The slide button 30 slides the latch 40 between a first position (Fig. 3A) and a second position (Fig. 3C). When the latch 40 is in the first position (FIG. 3A), the abutting portions 42 protrude from the edge of the outer cover 20 to abut the housing 10 to prevent the outer cover 20 from opening. When the latch 40 is in the second position (FIG. 3C), the abutting portions 42 are separated from the housing 10 to release the outer cover 20. In an embodiment, the outer cover 20 further includes two constraining portions 24 respectively constrained by the constraining portions 24 to slide and slide.

Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 4 , the outer cover 20 further includes two outer cover positioning portions 25 formed on the edge of the outer cover 20 , and the housing 10 includes two positioning notches 12 , and the like The cover positioning portion 25 correspondingly engages the positioning notches 12.

Referring to FIG. 5 , the sliding button 30 further includes a first sliding button positioning protrusion 34 and a second sliding button positioning protrusion 35 . The housing 10 includes a first housing positioning protrusion 14 and a second sliding button positioning protrusion 15 . When the latch 40 is in the first position, the first sliding button positioning protrusion 34 abuts the first housing positioning protrusion 14 to prevent the latch 40 from sliding toward the second position. When the latch 40 is in the second position, the second sliding button positioning protrusion 35 abuts the second housing positioning protrusion 15 to prevent the latch 40 from sliding toward the first position.

In the portable electronic device according to the embodiment of the present invention, the outer cover is fixed to the casing by abutting by the sliding push button and the latch. Therefore, it is possible to avoid the use of a screw to lock the outer cover, and in the process of removing the outer cover, it is not necessary to use an additional hand tool, and there is no problem of burning caused by the screw falling into the casing.

Although the present invention has been described above in terms of the preferred embodiments thereof, it is not intended to limit the invention, and those skilled in the art can make some modifications and refinements without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Therefore, the scope of the invention is defined by the scope of the appended claims.
