Abstract

An electronic device includes a device body and a mounting accessory. The mounting accessory includes a first lateral bracket and a second lateral bracket. When the first lateral bracket and the second lateral bracket are mounted on the device body in a first mounting configuration, the first lateral bracket and the second lateral bracket provide a set of locking points. When the first lateral bracket and the second lateral bracket are mounted on the device body in a second mounting configuration, the first lateral bracket and the second lateral bracket provide another set of locking points.

Claims (22)

1 . An electronic device, comprising:

a device body, having a first body side, a second body side, and a body bottom surface, wherein the second body side faces away from the first body side, the body bottom surface is connected to the first body side and the second body side, the first body side has at least one first body screw hole, and the second body side has at least one second body screw hole; and

a mounting accessory, comprising:

a first lateral bracket, having a first mounting side and a first mounting bottom, wherein the first mounting side has at least one first lower mounting screw hole and at least one first upper mounting screw hole, the first mounting bottom has at least one first bottom mounting screw hole and at least one first bottom mounting stud; and

a second lateral bracket, having a second mounting side and a second mounting bottom, wherein the second mounting side has at least one second upper mounting screw hole and at least one second lower mounting screw hole, the second mounting bottom has at least one second bottom mounting screw hole and at least one second bottom mounting stud,

wherein a height of the at least one first bottom mounting stud is equal to a distance between the at least one first bottom mounting screw hole and the at least one first upper mounting screw hole, a height of the at least one second bottom mounting stud is equal to a distance between the at least one second bottom mounting screw hole and the at least one second upper mounting screw hole,

wherein when the at least one first lower mounting screw hole is fastened to the at least one first body screw hole by screws, and the at least one second lower mounting screw hole is fastened to the at least one second body screw hole by the screws, the first lateral bracket and the second lateral bracket are respectively fixed on the device body, the at least one first bottom mounting stud is positioned outside the first mounting side relative to the device body, and the at least one second bottom mounting stud is positioned outside the second mounting side relative to the device body, and a connection between the at least one first bottom mounting screw hole and the at least one second bottom mounting screw hole forms a straight line or a first shape,

wherein when the at least one first upper mounting screw hole is fastened to the at least one first body screw hole by the screws, and the at least one second upper mounting screw hole is fastened to the at least one second body screw hole by the screws, the first lateral bracket and the second lateral bracket are respectively fixed on the device body, the at least one first bottom mounting stud is positioned inside the first mounting side relative to the device body, the at least one second bottom mounting stud is positioned inside the first mounting side relative to the device body, and a connection between the at least one first bottom mounting stud and the at least one second bottom mounting stud forms a straight line or a second shape.

2 . The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the first shape or the second shape conforms to one specification of VESA mounting interface standard.

3 . The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein dimensions of the first shape and the second shape conform to two specifications of VESA mounting interface standard.

4 .
