Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an electronic device having a port. More particularly, the present invention relates to an electronic device, in which a cover plate of a port thereof can be positioned in arbitrary places.
  • a port (which can also be referred to as an expansion port or an expansion slot) for connecting other important or secondary peripherals such as a printer, a keyboard, a mouse, a USB flash drive and network devices, etc., so as to expand a function of the electronic device.
  • the ports such as a cable port, a modem port, a parallel port, a serial port, a universal serial bus (USB) port, a mouse-keyboard port (PS/2), a video output port, a removable media port (for connecting an external disk drive or an external CD-ROM drive), an S-video port, an earphone port for connecting an earphone, a microphone port for connecting a microphone and a memory car port, etc. all have a socket for plugs of the peripherals to plug in, so as to electrically couple the electronic device to the peripherals and expand the function of the electronic device.
  • the port itself is a device used for electrically coupling the electronic device to the peripherals, if the port is attached with dirt or dust, there may have a bad connection, so that the electronic device cannot normally control the peripherals. However, since the port of the electronic device is generally exposed, it is easily to be attached with dirt or dust, which leads to malfunction of the peripherals.
  • a cover plate 110 is generally applied to a conventional electronic device 100 to cover the port (not shown), so as to prevent the port from contamination of the dirt or dust.
  • an aspect of the present invention is directed to an electronic device, in which a cover plate used for protecting a port thereof can be fixed in any position, so as to resolve a dangling around problem of a conventional cover plate when it is pulled upwards.
  • An aspect of the present invention provides an electronic device including a main frame and a cover plate.
  • the main frame has a port and a positioning hole near the port.
  • the cover plate is detachably assembled on a surface of the main frame for protecting the port.
  • the cover plate has a positioning pin with a protrusion part and a positioning part. One end of the positioning pin is fixed on the cover plate, and another end of the positioning passes through the positioning hole.
  • the protrusion part is disposed at one end of the positioning pin where passes through the positioning hole. Dimension of the protrusion part is larger than that of the positioning hole such that the cover plate may not be separated from the positioning hole. When the cover plate is detached, the positioning pin may be moved, so that the positioning part interferes with the positioning hole for positioning the cover plate.
  • the positioning part is made of elastic materials. Further, the positioning part includes a plurality of bumps made of rubber material, or includes a rubber ring.
  • the positioning part is a rubber ring.
  • the main frame has a groove, and the port and the positioning hole are located in the groove, and the cover plate is detachably assembled to the groove.
  • the cover plate has an operating part on its surface to facilitate a user to pull the cover plate.
  • the positioning part is connected the protrusion part, and when the cover plate is disassembled, the positioning pin can be moved towards the protrusion part to the positioning part, so as to interfere the positioning hole.
  • the positioning part is tightly attached to the positioning hole.
  • an extra positioning part made of elastic material is disposed on the positioning pin of the cover plate used for protecting a port.
  • the positioning part may interfere with the positioning hole for temporarily positioning the cover plate at any position.
  • Fig. 1 is a three-dimensional diagram of a conventional electronic device having a port.
  • Fig. 2 is an exploded view of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention.
  • Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view of a main frame and a cover plate of Fig. 2 .
  • Fig. 4 is a cross-sectional view of a main frame and a cover plate of Fig. 3 when the cover plate is pulled upwards and interfered with a positioning hole.
  • Fig. 2 is an exploded view of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention.
  • the electronic device 200 mainly includes a main frame 210 and a cover plate 220.
  • the main frame 210 has a port 212 and a positioning hole 214 near the port 212.
  • the electronic device 200 is for example a mobile phone, and the port 212 is used for being plugged by a GPS antenna (not shown). If a user pulls upwards the cover plate 220 and plugs the GPS antenna into the port 212, the mobile phone then has a GPS navigation function.
  • the electronic device 200 can also be an electronic device having the port, such as a notebook computer, a desktop computer or a PDA, etc.
  • the port 212 can also be a cable port, a modem port, a parallel port, a serial port, a USB port, a PS/2 port, a video output port, a removable media port, an S-video port, an earphone port for connecting an earphone, a microphone port for connecting a microphone, a memory car port or a power supply port for power input, etc.
  • types of the electronic device 200 and the port 212 are not limited by the present invention.
  • the cover plate 220 is detachably assembled on a surface S of the main frame 210 for protecting the port 212 from external dust and dirt.
  • an inter surface of the cover plate 220 has a positioning pin 222 with a protrusion part 222a and a positioning part 222b located above the protrusion part 222a.
  • One end of the positioning pin 222 is fixed on the cover plate 220, and another end thereof passes through the positioning hole 214 of the main frame 210.
  • the protrusion part 222a is disposed at one end of the positioning pin 222 where passes through the positioning hole 214. Dimension of the protrusion part 222a is larger than that of the positioning hole 214, so that the cover plate 220 may not be separated from the positioning hole 214 when the user pulls upwards the cover plate 220.
  • the protrusion part 222a is made of elastic material such as rubber. Therefore, as shown in Fig. 4 , when the user pulls upwards the cover plate 220 and moves the positioning pin 222 towards the protrusion part 222a, the positioning part 222b is deformed and interfered with the positioning hole 214.
  • the interference is that the positioning part 222b is tightly attached to the positioning hole 214, and since deformation of the positioning part 222b can just generate some friction force between the positioning part 222b and the positioning hole 214, the cover plate 220 is temporarily fixed when it is pulled upwards, and a dangling around problem of the cover plate 220 is avoided.
  • the positioning part 222b includes a plurality of bumps made of rubber material.
  • the positioning part 222b can also be a rubber ring as long as it is suitable to interfere with the positioning hole 214, so that type of the positioning part 222b is not limited by the present invention.
  • the main frame 210 has a groove 216 on its back, and the port 212 and the positioning hole 214 are located in the groove 216, and the cover plate 220 is detachably assembled to the groove 216 to protect the port 212 from external dust and dirt.
  • the cover plate 220 has an operating part 224 on its surface to facilitate the user to pull the cover plate 220.
  • the operating part 224 is a protrusion rib, though it can also be a plurality of grooves that facilitate the user to pulls the cover plate 220 upwards.
  • an extra positioning part made of elastic material is disposed on the positioning pin of the cover plate used for protecting the port.
