The reinforcing rib 134 is integrally formed with the positioning bent portion 132 while forming the positioning bent portion 132.

Please refer to FIG. 2, FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 at the same time. In order to prevent the storage module 140 from colliding with the first cover 110 or the second cover 160 when the electronic device 100 is shaken or impacted, the electronic device may be damaged. The device 100 may further include a plurality of second buffer materials 170. The second buffer materials 170 may be selectively disposed between the first cover 110 and the storage module 140 or disposed in the storage module 140 and the first A second cushioning material 170 is disposed between the two covers 160 or between the first cover 110 and the storage module 140 and between the storage module 140 and the second cover 160. The material of the second cushioning material 170 and the material and size of the first cushioning material 150 may be the same, but different materials and different sizes may be selected according to design requirements, as long as the first cushioning material 150 and the second cushioning material can be achieved. The purpose of the 170 setting (buffering shock and protecting the storage module 140) is sufficient.

Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 simultaneously, when the assembler assembles the electronic device 100, the first cover 110 is placed first, and then the first component 120, such as a keyboard, is placed on the first cover 110. The bracket 130 is then placed on the first component 120, wherein the bracket 130 is placed on the first component 120 in such a manner that its positioning bent portion 132 protrudes away from the first cover 110, and then the first The lid body 110, the first member 120, and the bracket 130 are fixed by, for example, heat fusion or hooking.

Next, as shown in FIG. 2, the first cushioning material 150 is fixed to the front surface 132b of the positioning and bending portion 132 by, for example, attaching, wherein the front surface 132b of the positioning and bending portion 132 refers to the positioning and bending portion 132 which is substantially arranged in a rectangular shape. The two surfaces of the positioning bent portions 132 that face each other are arranged in parallel.

Incidentally, in order to prevent the storage module 140 to be placed later from physically colliding with the first cover 110 or the first component 120 to cause any component to be damaged, the second buffer material 170 is further disposed. On the bracket 130 and adjacent to the positioning bent portion 132, wherein the second cushioning material 170 is disposed on the inner surface 130a of the bracket 130, and the positioning bent portion 132 is bent from the inside of the bracket 130. The surface 130a is raised.

Then, as shown in FIG. 4, the operator places the storage module 140 into the placement space S by the placement space S formed by the positioning and bending portions 132 arranged substantially in a rectangular shape, and the first cushioning material 150 and the second The cushioning material 170 is interposed between the storage module 140 and the bracket 130. The first cushioning material 150 not only utilizes its elastic deformation capability to limit the storage module 140 in the longitudinally and laterally direction of the bracket 130 in the placement space S formed by the positioning and bending portion 132, while the first cushioning The material 150 also protects the storage module 140 by buffering the impact of the external force on the storage module 140 by its elastic deformation, as shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 , wherein FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 are omitted for convenience of the drawing. The drawing of the storage module 140.

As shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the second buffer material 170 may be disposed between the bracket 130 and the storage module 140 or between the storage module 140 and the second cover 160, or may be simultaneously supported. A second cushioning material 170 is disposed between the frame 130 and the storage module 140 and between the storage module 140 and the second cover 160 to elastically deform the second cushioning material 170 and the size of the second cushioning material 170. The second buffer material 170 can be used to store the module 140 in the vertical direction of the electronic device 100, and the second buffer material 170 can buffer the impact of the external force on the storage module 140, thereby achieving the protection of the storage module 140. The purpose of the storage module 140 is omitted in FIG. 9 for the purpose of illustration.

In particular, the electronic device 100 of the present embodiment forms the positioning and bending portion 132 by using the bracket 130 that is originally disposed therein to form the placement space S for the storage module 140 to be placed. The electronic device 100 has a bracket 130 for reinforcing the structural rigidity and a bracket 130 for fixing the storage module 140. The electronic device 100 of the embodiment omits another bracket for fixing the storage module 140. Rack 130.

In addition, the electronic device 100 may further include a locking member 180 for locking from the side of the storage module 140 using a locking member 180 such as a screw to better securely hold the storage module 140.

In summary, in the electronic device created by the present invention, the positioning bent portion is formed on the bracket which is originally required to strengthen the structural rigidity to form the positioning space for the storage module to be placed, so that the other can be omitted. The use of brackets designed to secure storage modules reduces the number of components used. In addition, the buffer material is disposed between the positioning and bending portion and the storage module, between the bracket and the storage module, and between the second cover and the storage module to be dimensioned by the cushioning material and the cushioning material. The elastic deformation capability achieves the upper limit storage module in the lateral direction, the longitudinal direction and the vertical direction of the electronic device, and provides a buffering effect on the storage module, thereby protecting the storage module.

Although the present invention has been disclosed in the above embodiments, it is not intended to limit the novel creation, and any person skilled in the art can make some changes without departing from the spirit and scope of the novel creation. Retouching, the scope of protection of this new creation is subject to the definition of the scope of the patent application attached.
