This disclosure relates to an electronic device.

In recent years, narrow bezel design has gradually become the mainstream design trend of notebook computers. A display with a narrow frame has a narrow space at the frame, imposing restrictions on how the frame can be assembled. At present, the common method is to assemble/fix the display frame by adhesive bonding. However, when the above method is adopted, if the display fails and needs to be disassembled for repair, it is necessary to destroy the adhesive to remove the frame. Risk of damage to the display panel.

The present application provides an electronic device, which includes a first body. The first body includes a display panel and a casing. The housing is configured to accommodate the display panel and includes a first housing part and a second housing part. The first housing component includes a plurality of first hook portions, and the first hook portions are arranged along at least one edge of the first housing component. The second housing part includes a plurality of second hook parts. The second hook parts are arranged along at least one edge of the second housing part and are engaged with the first hook parts.

The first body shell of the electronic device of the present disclosure is assembled through the snap hooks. The snap hooks occupy a small space, which is conducive to the narrow frame design. Compared with the prior art assembly method using adhesive bonding, the first body of this case is The panel will not be damaged when the frame is disassembled.

In one embodiment, the first hook portion 111 includes a connected head 112 and a neck 113. The width of the head 112 is larger than the neck 113. The convex portion 122 of the elastic arm 121A is located at the end of the elastic arm 121A and is engaged with At the neck 113 of the first hook portion 111. In one embodiment, the protrusion 122 of the elastic arm 121A protrudes toward the direction in which the edge 120D of the second housing component 120 extends.

As mentioned above, when connecting the first hook portion 111 and the second hook portion 121, the elastic arm 121A will first be squeezed by the head 112 of the first hook portion 111 and move in a direction away from the first hook portion 111 Bending and then rebounding makes the convex portion 122 snap into the neck portion 113 of the first hook portion 111 to fix the first hook portion 111. Conversely, when separating the first hook portion 111 from the second hook portion 121, the elastic arm 121A will be squeezed by the head 112 of the first hook portion 111 and bend in a direction away from the first hook portion 111. Make room for the first hook part 111 to exit.

As shown in Figures 3 and 4, in one embodiment, the second hook portion 121 includes two elastic arms 121A, 121B. The elastic arms 121A, 121B are arranged along the edge 120D of the second housing component 120 and clamped Hold the corresponding first hook portion 111. In one embodiment, the elastic arms 121A and 121B have the same structure but opposite directions, that is, the convex part 122 of the elastic arm 121A protrudes toward the elastic arm 121B, and the convex part 122 of the elastic arm 121B protrudes toward the elastic arm 121A.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, in one embodiment, the length L2 of the elastic arm 121A is greater than the length L1 of the corresponding first hook portion 111, so that the elastic arm 121A is easy to bend. In one embodiment, the convex portion 122 of the elastic arm 121A has an arc surface 124, and the head 112 of the first hook portion 111 has an arc surface 114 that is in sliding engagement with the arc surface 124 of the elastic arm 121A. When the housing 150 is used, the first hook portion 111 can smoothly enter/exit the space between the two elastic arms 121A and 121B of the second hook portion 121.

As shown in Figures 3 and 4, in one embodiment, the second housing component 120 has a slot 125, and the slot 125 is located between the two second hook portions 121, and the first housing component 110 includes The wall 115 is located between the two first hook portions 111 and inserted into the slot 125 to restrict the relative movement of the first housing part 110 and the second housing part 120 in a direction perpendicular to the surface 111S , So that the edge 110D of the first housing part 110 and the edge 120D of the second housing part 120 can be kept aligned.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the wall 115 has a flat shape and extends along the edge 110D of the first housing member 110, and the slot 125 is a correspondingly elongated groove. In an embodiment, the wall portion 115 has a maximum width W3 in the direction in which the edge 110D of the first housing part 110 extends, and has a maximum width W4 in a direction perpendicular to the edge 110D of the first housing part 110, and the maximum width W4 is The width W4 is smaller than the maximum width W3.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, in one embodiment, a gap is reserved between the adapter 129 and the side wall 128B of the cover 128 as the slot 125. In other words, the wall 115 of the first housing member 110 is inserted Between the connecting piece 129 and the side wall 128B of the cover 128.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, in an embodiment, the wall 115 includes a rib structure 116, which is located on the side of the wall 115 facing the display panel 160, and the upper edge of the side wall of the slot 125 There is a cutout 126 configured to receive the rib structure 116.

Referring to FIG. 5, the difference between this embodiment and the foregoing embodiment is that the second hook portion 521 of the second housing part 520 includes a fixed stop post 521B instead of the elastic arm 121B. The limiting post 521B and the elastic arm 121A are arranged along the edge of the second housing part 520, and the limiting post 521B is configured to interfere with the corresponding first hook portion 111. The limiting column 521B has a convex portion 522 located at the end of the limiting column 521B and is engaged with the neck portion 113 of the first hook portion 111.

The limit post 521B cannot be bent, so when the first hook portion 111 and the second hook portion 521 are connected, only the elastic arm 121A will be squeezed by the head 112 of the first hook portion 111 and move away from the first hook portion 111 bends, and then rebounds so that the convex portion 122 is locked into the neck 113 of the first hook portion 111, the limit post 521B remains stationary, and the side of the first hook portion 111 (for example: the curved surface 114 of the head 112) Slide along the convex portion 522 of the limiting post 521B until the convex portion 522 is locked into the neck portion 113 of the first hook portion 111. In one embodiment, the convex portion 522 has an arc surface 524 and slidingly fits with the first hook portion 111.

To sum up, the first body shell of the electronic device of the present disclosure is assembled through the snap hooks. The snap hooks occupy a small space, which is conducive to the narrow frame design. Compared with the prior art assembly method using adhesive bonding, this case The first body will not cause damage to the panel when the frame is disassembled.
