When a force is applied to push the slider 3 to slide from the second position to the first position, the plurality of first engaging portions 124 can respectively engage with the plurality of second engaging portions 312 , at this time, the lower housing 13 will It is mutually fixed with the upper casing 12 . When the force is removed, an elastic restoring force of the elastic body 33 can drive the sliding part 3 to slide, and the sliding part 3 slides from the first position to the second position, so as to keep the plurality of second engaging parts 312 away from the plurality of first snap 124 , at this time, the lower case 13 will not engage with the upper case 12 , and the user can easily separate the lower case 13 from the upper case 12 .

For more details, please refer to FIG. 6, FIG. 8 to FIG. 14 together, FIG. 8 is a partially exploded schematic view of the electronic device of the present invention without a locking member, and FIG. 9 is a partial schematic view of the electronic device of the present invention without a locking member , FIG. 10 is a front view of FIG. 9, FIG. 11 is a top view of FIG. 9 after removing the lower casing, FIG. 12 is a partial schematic view of the electronic device of the present invention provided with a locking member, and FIG. 13 is a front view of FIG. 12, FIG. 14 is a top view of FIG. 12 with the lower case removed.

As shown in Figures 6 to 8, the process for the user to assemble the lower housing 13 to the upper housing 12 may be to firstly make the sliding member 3 pass through the perforation 3321 of the elastic body 33 and fix the fixing column 131 of the lower housing 13 to each other. , to fix the slider 3 to the lower casing 13 . Next, as shown in FIG. 9 to FIG. 11 , the lower housing 13 provided with the sliding member 3 is covered on the upper housing 12 . At this time, the sliding member 3 is in the second position, and the elastic body 33 is in an unpressurized state. It should be noted that each first engaging portion 124 is located in each notch 311 of the slider 3 , but each second engaging portion 312 is not engaged with each first engaging portion 124 .

As shown in Figures 12 and 13, when the locking element 4 is passed through the through hole 125 of the upper casing 12 and fixed on the upper casing 12, the end of the locking element 4 will push against the fixing part 32 of the sliding element 3, so that The slider 3 slides relative to the upper housing 12 along the width direction W, and the slider 3 will move from the second position to the first position. The two engaging portions 312 are engaged with corresponding first engaging portions 124 . Accordingly, the lower case 13 and the upper case 12 are engaged through the plurality of first engaging portions 124 and the plurality of second engaging portions 312 .

In contrast, as shown in Fig. 10, Fig. 11, Fig. 13 and Fig. 14, when the locking element 4 is removed (that is, the force acting on the sliding element is removed), the fixed portion 32 of the sliding element 3 is not locked. The fastener 4 presses against, and the elastic recovery force generated by the elastic body 33 allows the slider 3 to slide relative to the upper casing 12 . The slider 3 moves from the first position to the second position through the elastic restoring force, and each second engaging portion 312 is no longer engaged with each first engaging portion 124 . Thereby, the user can quickly disassemble the lower case 13 and separate the lower case 13 from the upper case 12 .

In other words, when the two locking pieces 4 fixed on the upper casing 12 are removed, the two sliding pieces 3 are slid relative to the upper casing 12 by the elastic restoring force, so that the plurality of first engaging parts 124 and the plurality of first engaging parts 124 The two second engaging portions 312 are no longer engaged with each other (that is, the lower case 13 and the upper case 12 are no longer engaged with each other). In the present invention, the upper casing 12 and the lower casing 13 can be engaged or not engaged by disassembling and assembling the two locking pieces 4 .

Please refer to FIG. 15 , which is a partial exploded view of another embodiment of the electronic device of the present invention. The biggest difference between this embodiment and the foregoing embodiments is that in the foregoing embodiments, the length of the slider 3 is approximately the same as the length of the short side of the upper casing 12, while the length of the slider 3 in this embodiment is shorter than that of the upper casing 12. More than half the length of the short side. For example, the overall length of the sliding member 3 may be one-sixth of the short side length of the upper casing 12 . Another difference between this embodiment and the preceding embodiments is that the slider 3 may only include a single second engaging portion 312, while the upper housing 12 may only include one first engaging portion 124, and the slider 3 The aforementioned notch 311 may not be present.

In summary, the electronic device 100 of the present invention allows the user to easily and quickly disassemble the lower casing 13 through the design of the sliding member 3 , the first engaging portion 124 , and the second engaging portion 312 . Compared with the conventional electronic device, the user has to remove many screws to separate the lower case 13 from the upper case. The lengths and specifications of the screws at different positions in the conventional electronic device may not be exactly the same. The user not only has to remove multiple screws, but also may need to remember the position of each screw.

The above descriptions are only preferred feasible embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent technical changes made by using the description and drawings of the present invention are included in the scope of protection of the present invention. .
