Abstract

An electronic device including a first casing and a second casing is provided. The first casing includes a first plate portion, a first position-limiting structure and a second position-limiting structure. The first position-limiting structure and an inner surface of the first plate portion form a position-limiting groove. The second position-limiting structure is disposed on the inner surface of the first plate portion. The second casing includes a protruding structure. The protruding structure is inserted in the position-limiting groove, and the first position-limiting structure and the second position-limiting structure abut two opposite sides of the protruding structure.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An electronic device, comprising: a first casing, comprising a first plate portion, a first position-limiting structure, and a second position-limiting structure, wherein the first position-limiting structure and an inner surface of the first plate portion form a position-limiting groove, and the second position-limiting structure is disposed on the inner surface of the first plate portion; and a second casing, comprising a protruding structure, wherein the protruding structure is inserted in the position-limiting groove, and the first position-limiting structure and the second position-limiting structure abut two opposite sides of the protruding structure respectively when the first casing and the second casing are paired to form a casing of the electronic device; and a width of the second position-limiting structure decreases as a distance between the second position-limiting structure and the inner surface of the first plate portion increases.

2. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the protruding structure is spaced apart from the inner surface by a distance, and the distance is between 0.1 mm and 0.15 mm.

3. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein a length of the second position-limiting structure protruding from the inner surface of the first plate portion is between 0.1 mm and 1.2 mm.

4. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the first casing further comprises a third plate portion, the third plate portion is connected to the first plate portion, and a normal line of the first plate portion and a normal line of the third plate portion are intersected, the first position-limiting structure is disposed on the third plate portion, the first position-limiting structure has a first portion and a second portion, the second portion is located between the first portion and the inner surface of the first plate portion, and a length of the first portion protruding from the third plate portion is greater than a length of the second portion protruding from the third plate portion.

5. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the second position-limiting structure has a columnar shape.

6. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the second position-limiting structure has a hemispherical shape.

7. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the first position-limiting structure and the second position-limiting structure are arranged alternately with each other.

8. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the first position-limiting structure and the second position-limiting structure are spaced apart from each other by 2 mm to 20 mm.

9. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein a difference between a width of the position-limiting groove and a length of the protruding structure is less than a length of the second position-limiting structure protruding from the inner surface of the first plate portion in a direction away from the first plate portion.

10. The electronic device according to claim 1 , further comprising a sound generating assembly disposed on the second casing.

11. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the first position-limiting structure has a first portion and a second portion, the second portion is located between the first portion and the inner surface of the first plate portion, and a length of the first portion is greater than a length of the second portion.

12. The electronic device according to claim 11 , wherein the first portion, the second portion, and the first plate portion form the position-limiting groove.

13. The electronic device according to claim 11 , wherein a width of the position-limiting groove is equal to a distance between the first portion of the first position-limiting structure and the inner surface of the first plate portion.

14. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein a width of the position-limiting groove is not less than a width of the protruding structure.

15. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the protruding structure continuously extends between the first position-limiting structure and the second position-limiting structure.

16. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the second casing further comprises a second plate portion, the protruding structure protrudes from the second plate portion, and the first plate portion of the first casing and the second plate portion of the second casing are adapted to abut each other.

17. The electronic device according to claim 16 , wherein a width of the protruding structure is less than a width of the second plate portion.

18. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the protruding structure comprises an abutment portion, and an extension length of the abutment portion is less than or equal to 70% of an overall extension length of the protruding structure.

19. The electronic device according to claim 18 , wherein a point at which the second position-limiting structure contacts the protruding structure falls on the abutment portion.
