Abstract

An electronic device with storage functionality is provided. The electronic device includes a first housing member, a first circuit board, a second housing member and a second circuit board. The first circuit board is connected to the first housing member. The second circuit board is coupled to the first circuit board and is parallel to the first circuit board. The first housing member includes two hooks, and the hooks are wedged against the first edge of the second circuit board.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An electronic device with storage functionality, comprising:
a first housing member, comprising two first fastening stages and two first restriction stages, wherein each first restriction stage comprises a first restriction post;
a first circuit board, connected to the first housing member, wherein the first circuit board comprises two first fastening holes and two first positioning holes, and the first restriction posts pass through the first positioning holes to restrict the first circuit board;
a second housing member, comprising a housing outer surface, two second fastening stages and two housing through holes, and each housing through hole passes through the housing outer surface and the corresponding second fastening stage;
two main fastening bolts, wherein each main fastening bolt passes through one of the housing through holes and one of the first fastening holes, and connects one of the first fastening stages to one of the second fastening stages, and the first circuit board is partially sandwiched between the first fastening stages and the second fastening stages; and
a second circuit board, wherein the second circuit board is coupled to the first circuit board and is parallel to the first circuit board, wherein the first housing member comprises two hooks, and the hooks are wedged against a first edge of the second circuit board,
wherein the first housing member comprises two first supporting posts, each first supporting post comprises a first post top, the hook is formed on the first post top, and the second circuit board abuts the first post tops and is supported by the first post tops.

2. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a flexible cable, wherein the first circuit board is connected to the second circuit board by the flexible cable, the flexible cable is connected to a second edge of the second circuit board, and the second edge is opposite the first edge.

3. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each hook has a guiding inclined surface.

4. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first housing member comprises two second supporting posts, each second supporting post comprises a second post top, and the second circuit board abuts the second post tops and is supported by the second post tops.

5. The electronic device as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the second housing member further comprises a restriction rib, and at least a portion of the second circuit board is sandwiched between the restriction rib and the second supporting posts.

6. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first circuit board further comprises a connection port, and the connection port and the first fastening holes are located on the same side of the first circuit board.

7. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first housing member further comprises at least one first wedging portion, the second housing member further comprises at least one second wedging portion, the first wedging portion is wedged against the second wedging portion, and the housing through holes are located on the opposite side of the second housing member from the second wedging portion.

8. An electronic device with storage functionality, comprising:
a first housing member;
a first circuit board, connected to the first housing member;
a second housing member;
a second circuit board, wherein the second circuit board is coupled to the first circuit board and is parallel to the first circuit board, wherein the first housing member comprises two hooks, and the hooks are wedged against the first edge of the second circuit board; and
a flexible cable, wherein the first circuit board is connected to the second circuit board by the flexible cable, the flexible cable is connected to a second edge of the second circuit board, and the second edge is opposite the first edge, wherein the first housing member comprises two first supporting posts, each first supporting post comprises a first post top, the hook is formed on the first post top, and the second circuit board abuts the first post tops and is supported by the first post tops.

9. The electronic device as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the first housing member comprises two second supporting posts, each second supporting post comprises a second post top, and the second circuit board abuts the second post tops and is supported by the second post tops.

10. The electronic device as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the second housing member further comprises a restriction rib, and at least a portion of the second circuit board is sandwiched between the restriction rib and the second supporting posts.
