Abstract

A case structure, adapted for a projection device, includes an enclosure, a base and a cover plate. The enclosure has an opening. The base is located at the opening and has a receiving groove. The cover plate slides relative to the base to move to a closed position. The cover plate includes a first engaging portion on a first cover plate side, a first positioning portion on a second cover plate side, multiple elastic members and multiple slide groove structures on a third cover plate side and a fourth cover plate side. The slide groove structures are located between the elastic members and the first positioning portion in the first direction. The base includes a second engaging portion on a first base side, a second positioning portion on a second base side, multiple pillars and multiple sliders on a third base side and a fourth base side.

Claims (26)

1 . A case structure, adapted for a projection device, comprising:

an enclosure, having an opening;

a base, located at the opening and having a receiving groove; and

a cover plate, adapted to slide relative to the base along a first direction, so that the cover plate moves to a closed position;

wherein the cover plate has a first cover plate side and a second cover plate side opposite to each other in the first direction and a third cover plate side and a fourth cover plate side opposite to each other in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, the cover plate comprises a first engaging portion located on the first cover plate side, a first positioning portion located on the second cover plate side, and a plurality of elastic members and a plurality of slide groove structures located on the third cover plate side and the fourth cover plate side, in the first direction, the slide groove structures are located between the elastic members and the first positioning portion,

wherein each of the elastic members has a first end connected to an inner surface of the cover plate and a second end extending toward the first cover plate side, and each of the elastic members comprises a hook located at the second end,

wherein the base has a first base side and a second base side opposite to each other in the first direction, and a third base side and a fourth base side opposite to each other in the second direction, the base comprises a second engaging portion located on the first base side, a second positioning portion located on the second base side, and a plurality of pillars and a plurality of sliders on the third base side and the fourth base side, each of the pillars has an inclined surface, and the sliders are located between the pillars and the second positioning portion, wherein

when the cover plate moves to the closed position, each of the hooks slides from one side of each of the pillars to another side of each of the pillars along each of the inclined surfaces and is buckled with each of the pillars, and

when the cover plate is in the closed position, the first engaging portion is connected to the second engaging portion, the first positioning portion corresponds to the second positioning portion, the elastic members are respectively connected to the pillars, and the slide groove structures are respectively connected to the sliders.

2 . The case structure according to claim 1 , wherein the second positioning portion has a groove, and when the cover plate is in the closed position, an end surface of the first positioning portion is located in the groove.

3 . The case structure according to claim 1 , wherein the inclined surface has a front end and a terminal end, and the terminal end is higher than the front end and is closer to the second engaging portion than the front end.

4 . The case structure according to claim 1 , wherein the cover plate has an outer surface and an inner surface, the elastic members are disposed on the inner surface, and the cover plate comprises a protruding rib located on the outer surface, the protruding rib is located on the first cover plate side and corresponds to the first engaging portion.

5 . The case structure according to claim 1 , wherein the cover plate has a first inner surface and a second inner surface, the first inner surface is located between the elastic members, and the second inner surface is located between the first inner surface and the first engaging portion, wherein a normal direction of the first inner surface is perpendicular to the first direction and perpendicular to the second direction, and the second inner surface is inclined to the first inner surface.

6 . The case structure according to claim 5 , wherein the cover plate has an outer surface, and an average thickness between the first inner surface and the outer surface is greater than an average thickness between the second inner surface and the outer surface.

7 . The case structure according to claim 1 , wherein a quantity of the elastic members is two, wherein the elastic members are respectively located near the third cover plate side and the fourth cover plate side, and a quantity of the pillars is two, wherein the pillars are respectively located on the third base side and the fourth base side.

8 . The case structure according to claim 1 , wherein the base comprises two side walls respectively located at the third base side and the fourth base side, each of the sliders is connected to a corresponding said side wall, and when the cover plate moves to the closed position, each of the sliders enters a corresponding said slide groove structure along the first direction.

9 . The case structure according to claim 1 , wherein the base comprises a side wall located at the first base side and an extension wall connected to the top of the side wall, the second engaging portion is located on a side of the extension wall away from the cover plate, the side wall has a hole close to the second engaging portion, and when the cover plate is in the closed position, the first engaging portion passes through the hole to be buckled with the second engaging portion.

10 . A case structure, adapted for a projection device, comprising:

an enclosure, having an opening;

a base, located at the opening and having a receiving groove; and

a cover plate, adapted to slide relative to the base along a first direction, so that the cover plate moves to a closed position;

wherein the base has a first base side and a second base side opposite to each other in the first direction, and a third base side and a fourth base side opposite to each other in the second direction, the base comprises a second engaging portion located on the first base side, a second positioning portion located on the second base side, and a plurality of pillars and a plurality of sliders on the third base side and the fourth base side, the sliders are located between the pillars and the second positioning portion, wherein

wherein the cover plate has a first inner surface and a second inner surface, the first inner surface is located between the elastic members, and the second inner surface is located between the first inner surface and the first engaging portion, wherein a normal direction of the first inner surface is perpendicular to the first direction and perpendicular to the second direction, and the second inner surface is inclined to the first inner surface.

11 . The case structure according to claim 10 , wherein the cover plate has an outer surface, and an average thickness between the first inner surface and the outer surface is greater than an average thickness between the second inner surface and the outer surface.
