Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A connector structure adapted to an electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a housing with an open slot. The connector structure comprises a tongue-shaped portion, a covering component, and a connecting member. The tongue-shaped portion is pivotally connected to the housing and disposed in the open slot. The covering component is pivotally connected to the housing and for covering the open slot. The connecting member is disposed inside the open slot and connecting the tongue-shaped portion and the covering component. When the covering component drives the tongue-shaped portion to rotate simultaneously via the connecting member, a gap is formed between the tongue-shaped portion and the covering component to expose the open slot.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A connector structure, adapted to an electronic device having a housing with an open slot, the connector structure comprising: a tongue-shaped portion, pivotally connected to the housing and disposed in the open slot; a covering component, pivotally connected to the housing and for covering the open slot; and a connecting member, disposed inside the open slot and connecting the tongue-shaped portion and the covering component, wherein when the covering component drives the tongue-shaped portion to rotate simultaneously via the connecting member, a gap is formed between the tongue-shaped portion and the covering component to expose the open slot. 2. The connector structure according to claim 1 , wherein the covering component includes a recess for receiving the tongue-shaped portion. 3. The connector structure according to claim 1 , further comprising: a switching member movably disposed at the housing, wherein a groove is formed at a side of the covering component, and the groove is located inside the open slot. 4. The connector structure according to claim 3 , wherein the switching member includes a switching portion and a hook portion, the switching portion is movably configured in a runner of the housing, and the hook portion is located in the open slot. 5. The connector structure according to claim 4 , wherein the switching member further includes a main body, the main body is connected with the switching portion and the hook portion, the connector structure further includes an elastic member, the elastic member is disposed inside a position limiting slot of the housing, a side wall of the main body extends into the position limiting slot, and the elastic member abuts against the side wall and one of walls of the position limiting slot. 6. The connector structure according to claim 5 , wherein when the switching portion is located at a second position, the elastic member is compressed between the wall and the side wall. 7. The connector structure according to claim 5 , wherein the connector structure further comprising: a position limiting rod passing through the position limiting slot and the elastic member inside the position limiting slot.
