The first casing 10 . However, the present disclosure is not limited to this, and the second casing 20 can also be assembled to the first casing 10 in any direction, and the assembled angle is not limited to a right angle.

As can be seen from FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , the electronic device 100 further includes a target element 30 , and the target element 30 is accommodated in the accommodating space 11 . In this embodiment, the target element 30 may be an NFC sensor chip. Since the NFC sensor chip has the characteristics of wireless sensing, when it is necessary to confirm whether the first casing 10 and the second casing 20 have been disassembled and the internal information has been stolen, the target can be sensed from the outside of the first casing 10 first. Whether the element 30 can still be sensed correctly. If the inductive reading can be performed correctly, the target element 30 represented as the NFC inductive chip has not been destroyed. In other embodiments, the target element 30 can also be any chip that can respond to wireless sensing reading.

Move freely. At this time, the elastic force of the elastic member 50 will drive the breaking member 40 to move in the direction of the target element 30, and hit the target element 30, so that the target element 30 is damaged.

Once the target element 30 is damaged, even if the second casing 20 is reassembled back to the first casing 10, it appears to be normal from the outside without damage. By wirelessly reading the target element 30 and unable to correctly sense and read, it can be known that the target element 30 has been damaged. Further, it is known that the electronic device 100 may be damaged, and the internal data or components may have been stolen abnormally.

As can be seen from FIG. 1 , in this embodiment, the ejector 21 of the second casing 20 has an inclined surface 211 . As can be seen from FIG. 2 , the breaking element 40 includes a fixing base 41 and a striker 42 , and the striker 42 is fixed on the fixing base 41 . In this embodiment, the striker 42 is fixed to the fixing base 41 by means of a screw lock. In other embodiments, the fixed seat 41 and the striker 42 that are integrally formed may also be used, or the striker 42 may be fixed to the fixed seat 41 by means of adhesion, tight fitting, or the like. The fixed seat has a wedge-shaped surface 411 . It can be seen from FIG. 4 that the wedge-shaped surface 411 is inclined from upper left to lower right and corresponds to the inclined surface 211 of the ejector 21 . As can be seen from FIG. 5 , when the second casing 20 is assembled to the first casing 10 , the inclined surface 211 of the ejecting member 21 will push the wedge-shaped surface 411 of the fixing base 41 .

When setting the relative position between the wedge-shaped surface 411 and the inclined surface 211 , the final position can be set as shown in FIG. 5 , and the inclined surface 211 abuts against the wedge-shaped surface 411 . Alternatively, as in the present embodiment, when the second casing 20 is assembled to the first casing 10 , as shown in FIG. 6 , the inclined surface 211 will completely pass through the wedge-shaped surface 411 , and the fixing seat 41 will be further moved toward the The direction of the left side of FIG. 6 is pushed up, and the elastic member 50 is stretched more greatly, so as to provide a greater elastic force of the fixing seat 41 .

Even if the corners of the fixing base 41 are right angles, the inclined surface 211 of the ejector 21 can still abut against the fixing base 41 , so that it will not directly hit the target element 30 . However, if the wedge-shaped surface 411 is provided, the process of pushing the inclined surface 211 of the ejecting member 21 against the fixing seat 41 can be smoother.

The electronic device 100 further includes a base 70 , and the first casing 10 further includes a side wall 12 . As can be seen from FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , the base 70 is assembled on the side wall 12 and accommodated in the accommodating space 11 . The target element 30 is disposed between the base 70 and the side wall 12 . The breaking piece 40 is movably penetrated through the base 70 , and the elastic piece 50 is connected between the base 70 and the breaking piece 40 to provide the elastic force required by the breaking piece 40 .

In this embodiment, as can be seen from FIG. 2 , the elastic member 50 includes two tension springs 51 , which are respectively assembled on the left and right sides of the fixing seat 41 . One end of each tension spring 51 is connected to the fixing seat 41 , and the other end is connected to the base 70 . Therefore, when the fixed seat 41 of the breaking piece 40 is forced to move to the left, the tension spring 51 will generate elastic force to give the breaking piece 40 a force to move to the right.

The target element 30 , the breaking element 40 , the elastic element 50 and the stopper 60 can be assembled on the base 70 as shown in FIG. These components are accommodated in the accommodating space 11 . In this way, all the components can be assembled into a module by using the base 70 first, and then assembled to the first casing 10 . In other embodiments, a shape structure corresponding to the base 70 can also be formed in the first casing 10 , and the assembly of each element can also be completed without using a separate base 70 .

As can be seen from FIG. 2 , the electronic device 100 may further include a protective sheet 80 disposed between the target element 30 and the base 70 . The protection sheet 80 has an opening 81 corresponding to the target element 30 , so that when the breaking element 40 moves toward the target element 30 driven by the elastic force of the elastic element 50 , it can hit the target element 30 through the opening 81 . In this embodiment, the protection sheet 80 is made of sapphire material, and the protection sheet 80 is located at a position corresponding to the elastic member 50 . Thereby, since the target element 30 on the substrate 31 may be very small, and other surrounding areas are the sensing lines. When someone tries to drill the elastic member 50 from the outside of the side wall 12 of the first housing 10 to prevent the breaking member 40 from hitting the target element 30 , the protective sheet 80 can provide a certain protection. Avoid directly damaging the base 70 or the elastic member 50 from the outside.

In this embodiment, the protective sheet 80 is approximately equal in size to the surface area of the side of the base 70 facing the side wall 12 , with only an additional opening 81 , so that the breaking element 40 can strike the target element 30 . The other positions of the base 70 are additionally protected by the protective sheet 80 . Due to the high hardness of sapphire, it can also effectively prevent the damage of most hand tools such as electric drills.

In order to provide more complete protection of the entire base 70 , in addition to the surface facing the side wall 12 , the surface facing the side of the second casing 20 can also provide additional protection. In this way, the breaking piece 40 and the elastic piece 50 located on the left side of the base 70 can be prevented from being damaged from the side of the second casing 20 (ie, the upper side in FIG. 2 ). Therefore, as can be seen from FIGS. 2 to 4 , the electronic device 100 further includes a first reinforcing sheet 91 and a second reinforcing sheet 92 . The first reinforcing sheet 91 and the second reinforcing sheet 92 can be made of high-hardness metal, sapphire and other materials. The first reinforcing sheet 91 is disposed on the base 70 and is located on the side of the base 70 facing the second casing 20 .

As can be seen from FIG. 4 , the second reinforcing sheet 92 is disposed on a side surface of the second casing 20 facing the accommodating space 11 , and is disposed corresponding to the position of the base 70 . When setting, as shown in FIG. 3 , a corresponding groove 22 is formed on the inner side of the second casing 20 , and the second reinforcing sheet 92 is correspondingly placed in the groove 22 . way, fixed in the groove 22. As can be seen from FIG. 4 , the second reinforcing sheet 92 is located above the rear side of the base 70 . If the first reinforcing sheet 91 and the second reinforcing sheet 92 are assembled at the same time as in this embodiment, the double protection of the base 70 can be provided. In other embodiments, only the first reinforcing sheet 91 or the second reinforcing sheet 92 may be used for protection.

It can be seen from FIG. 1 and FIG. 4 , the second casing 20 may further include a tamper-proof member 23 corresponding to the ejecting member 21 . The anti-destructive element 23 can be embedded in the outer surface of the second casing 20 , or directly embedded in the second casing 20 when the second casing 20 is injection-molded. The anti-destructive member 23 is correspondingly located above the ejecting member 21 to prevent the ejecting member 21 from being damaged by the outside of the second casing 20 , thereby affecting the action of the breaking member 40 .

Further, as can be seen from FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 , the ejector 21 may further include anti-drilling pieces 212 . The anti-drilling pieces 212 and the inclined surfaces 211 are respectively located on two opposite sides of the ejecting element 21 , and the anti-drilling pieces 212 correspond to the inclined surfaces. 211 Settings. Thereby, the ejector 21 is provided with additional protection, and the ejector 21 is prevented from being damaged due to the damage of the side wall 12 of the first casing 10 , and the action of the breaker 40 is affected. Since the ejecting member 21 and the breaking member 40 operate according to whether or not the inclined surface 211 is pressed, the anti-drilling piece 212 preferably covers at least the surface of the corresponding inclined surface 211 . In this way, it can provide protection against all possibilities of physical damage, and strengthen the management of important data.

To sum up, the electronic device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure can use the ejector directly assembled on the second casing to clamp the breaking element. Since the ejector of the second casing is pre-assembled or integrally formed with the second casing, there is no blind assembly and it is impossible to confirm whether the second casing and the ejector are correctly assembled. In addition, since the snap elements that need to be elastically deformed are replaced by elements of a fixed shape, the arrangement of all elements can be completed in a small space, and there is no need to worry about whether the elastic elements of the coupling device (such as the hook device) are assembled due to Damaged due to incorrect force in the process. In addition, the stopper can prevent the breaking piece from hitting the target element before the second casing is assembled to the first casing.
