Abstract

A universal serial bus (USB) cover connecting structure of an electronic product is provided, including a USB cover, covering a USB port of the electronic product, and disposed on a case of the electronic product. A first extending part and a second extending part are disposed on opposite ends of the USB cover, and a first gap and a second gap are formed between the first extending part, the second extending part, and sidewalls of the USB cover, so that while one of first and second extending parts is pressed, the other one of the first and second extending parts will be lifted, thereby forming a digging position for a finger to easily pull the USB cover out. Costs of molds and production are reduced due to removal of a groove.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A universal serial bus (USB) cover connecting structure of an electronic product, comprising:
a USB cover, covering a USB port of an electronic product, and disposed on a case of the electronic product,
wherein a first extending part and a second extending part are disposed on opposite ends of the USB cover, and a first gap and a second gap are formed between the first extending part, the second extending part, and sidewalls of the USB cover;
wherein a USB hole is disposed on the USB port of the case, and the USB hole is provided with a protrusion having an annular shape, and a width of the protrusion on one side of the first extending part is greater than a width of the protrusion on the other side, and an end of the USB cover opposite to the protrusion abuts against the protrusion, so that a space is formed between the first gap, the second gap, and the protrusion;
wherein a columnar connection rod extending along a direction toward the protrusion is disposed on a side of an insertion part opposite to the first extending part, and a socket is disposed on the protrusion at a position opposite to the columnar connection rod, and the columnar connection rod inserts into the socket; and
wherein the USB port is fixed on a base secured to the case by screws, and a first hole allowing penetration of the columnar connection rod is disposed at a position of the base opposite to the columnar connection rod, and a second hole connected with the first hole is disposed on the base, and an aperture of the second hole is smaller than an aperture of the first hole, and the columnar connection rod is tapered shape.

2. The USB cover connecting structure of the electronic product as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the USB cover comprises the insertion part for inserting into the USB port and an exterior cover exposed above the case, and the first extending part and the second extending part are disposed on the exterior cover.

3. The USB cover connecting structure of the electronic product as claimed in claim 2 , wherein a groove is disposed on a side of the exterior cover opposite to the insertion part, and a side of the insertion part opposite to the exterior cover is inserted into the groove to tightly fit the groove.

4. The USB cover connecting structure of the electronic product as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a position limiting block with a diameter greater than the socket is disposed on the columnar connection rod.

5. The USB cover connecting structure of the electronic product as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the USB cover further comprises a connecting part for inserting into the groove provided between the insertion part and the exterior cover, and the connecting part extends towards the first extending part to secure with the columnar connection rod, and the insertion part is secured with the connecting portion.

6. The USB cover connecting structure of the electronic product as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the USB cover is made of soft materials.

7. A USB cover connecting structure of an electronic product, comprising:
a USB cover, covering a USB port of an electronic product, and disposed on a case of the electronic product,
wherein a first extending part and a second extending part are disposed on opposite ends of the USB cover, and a first gap and a second gap are formed between the first extending part, the second extending part, and sidewalls of the USB cover;
wherein the USB cover comprises an insertion part for inserting into the USB port and an exterior cover exposed above the case, and the first extending part and the second extending part are disposed on the exterior cover; and
wherein a USB hole is disposed on the USB port of the case, and the USB hole is provided with a protrusion having an annular shape, and a width of the protrusion on one side of the first extending part is greater than a width of the protrusion on the other side, and an end of the USB cover opposite to the protrusion abuts against the protrusion, so that a space is formed between the first gap, the second gap, and the protrusion.

8. The USB cover connecting structure of the electronic product as claimed in claim 7 , wherein a groove is disposed on a side of the exterior cover opposite to the insertion part, and a side of the insertion part opposite to the exterior cover is inserted into the groove to tightly fit the groove.

9. The USB cover connecting structure of the electronic product as claimed in claim 7 , wherein a columnar connection rod extending along a direction toward the protrusion is disposed on a side of an insertion part opposite to the first extending part, and a socket is disposed on the protrusion at a position opposite to the columnar connection rod, and the columnar connection rod inserts into the socket.

10. The USB cover connecting structure of the electronic product as claimed in claim 9 , wherein a position limiting block with a diameter greater than the socket is disposed on the columnar connection rod.

11. The USB cover connecting structure of the electronic product as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the USB cover further comprises a connecting part for inserting into the groove provided between the insertion part and the exterior cover, and the connecting part extends towards the first extending part to secure with the columnar connection rod, and the insertion part is secured with the connecting portion.

12. The USB cover connecting structure of the electronic product as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the USB cover is made of soft materials.

13. An electronic product, comprising:
a USB cover, covering a USB port of the electronic product, and disposed on a case of the electronic product, and a first extending part and a second extending part are disposed on opposite ends of the USB cover, and a first gap and a second gap are formed between the first extending part, the second extending part, and sidewalls of the USB cover,
wherein the USB cover comprises an insertion part for inserting into the USB port and an exterior cover exposed above the case, and the first extending part and the second extending part are disposed on the exterior cover; and
wherein a USB hole is disposed on the USB port of the case, and the USB hole is provided with a protrusion having an annular shape, and a width of the protrusion on one side of the first extending part is greater than a width of the protrusion on the other side, and an end of the USB cover opposite to the protrusion abuts against the protrusion, so that a space is formed between the first gap, the second gap, and the protrusion.

14. The electronic product as claimed in claim 13 , wherein a groove is disposed on a side of the exterior cover opposite to the insertion part, and a side of the insertion part opposite to the exterior cover is inserted into the groove to tightly fit the groove.

15. The electronic product as claimed in claim 13 , wherein a columnar connection rod extending along a direction toward the protrusion is disposed on a side of an insertion part opposite to the first extending part, and a socket is disposed on the protrusion at a position opposite to the columnar connection rod, and the columnar connection rod inserts into the socket.
