Abstract

A chassis structure includes a box assembly and a cover plate. The box assembly includes a main plate, a plurality of side plates, a base and a pressing element. The base is disposed on one of the plurality of side plates and has a plurality of first locking portions. The pressing element is slidably disposed on the base. The cover plate is assembled on the side plate and has a plurality of second locking portions, wherein the first locking portions are adaptable to be locked with the second locking portions.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A chassis structure, comprising:
a box assembly, comprising a plurality of side plates, a base and a pressing element, the base being disposed on one of the plurality of side plates and having a plurality of first locking portions, the pressing element being slidably disposed on the base; and
a cover plate, assembled on the plurality of side plates and having a plurality of second locking portions, wherein the plurality of first locking portions are adaptable to be locked with the plurality of second locking portions,
wherein the plurality of first locking portions comprise elastic sheets, each of the elastic sheets has a first opening, the pressing element comprises a pillar, and the pillar corresponds to the first opening,
wherein a terminal end of each of the elastic sheets has a bending portion, and the first opening is formed on the bending portion.

2. The chassis structure according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of first locking portions comprise two first locking portions, and the two first locking portions are respectively formed on two opposite sides of the base.

3. The chassis structure according to claim 2 , wherein the plurality of second locking portions comprise two second locking portions corresponding to the two first locking portions.

4. The chassis structure according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of first locking portions comprise protrusions.

5. The chassis structure according to claim 4 , wherein each of the protrusions has a guiding slope.

6. The chassis structure according to claim 4 , wherein the plurality of second locking portions comprise sheets, and each of the sheets has a locking hole.

7. The chassis structure according to claim 6 , wherein a terminal end of each of the sheets comprises a stopping portion.

8. The chassis structure according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of side plates have a second opening, the base is disposed on an inner side of the at least one side plate and corresponds to the second opening, the at least one second locking portion passes through the second opening from an external side of the at least one side plate to be locked with the at least one first locking portion.

9. The chassis structure according to claim 1 , wherein an edge of the cover plate has a folding wall, and the plurality of second locking portions are formed on the folding wall.

10. The chassis structure according to claim 9 , wherein the folding wall has a notch, and the plurality of second locking portions are connected to an inner edge of the notch.

11. The chassis structure according to claim 1 , wherein the pillar has a pushing slope, in a process that the pillar passes through the first opening, an inner edge of the first opening is moved along the pushing slope.

12. The chassis structure according to claim 1 , wherein the pressing element is adaptable to move along an unlocking direction to drive the first locking portions to be separated from the second locking portions.

13. The chassis structure according to claim 1 , wherein the base has a plurality of sliding slots, the pressing element has a plurality of sliding bumps, and the plurality of sliding bumps are disposed in the plurality of sliding slots.

14. The chassis structure according to claim 1 , wherein the box assembly comprises an elastic element, the elastic element is disposed between the base and the pressing element.

15. The chassis structure according to claim 14 , wherein the base has a sliding hole, the pressing element has a sliding pillar, the sliding pillar passes through the sliding hole, and the elastic element is sleeved on the sliding pillar.

16. The chassis structure according to claim 1 , wherein the pressing element is completely accommodated in the base.

17. A chassis structure, comprising:
a box assembly, comprising a plurality of side plates, a base and a pressing element, the base being disposed on one of the plurality of side plates and having a plurality of first locking portions, the pressing element being slidably disposed on the base; and
a cover plate, assembled on the plurality of side plates and having a plurality of second locking portions, wherein the plurality of first locking portions are adaptable to be locked with the plurality of second locking portions,
wherein the plurality of first locking portions comprise elastic sheets, each of the elastic sheets has an opening, the pressing element comprises a pillar, and the pillar corresponds to the opening,
wherein a guiding segment is extended from an inner edge of the opening, and the guiding segment guides the pillar to pass through the opening.
