Electronic device with motherboard
View Patent ↗An electronic device includes a motherboard defining a number of through holes, a bottom wall forming a number of posts, and a fixing member including a fixing body mounted to the bottom wall and a movable body slidably mounted to the fixing body. Each through hole includes a first hole and a second hole communicating with each other. Each post includes a supporting portion, a head, and a neck. The fixing body forms a protrusion. The movable body includes a main portion, a connecting portion connected to the main portion and defining a limiting slot. The heads are extended through the first holes; the necks abut end walls bounding the second holes. The motherboard is sandwiched between the heads and the supporting portions, the protrusion is engaged in the limiting slot, and the main body abuts against an end of the motherboard adjacent to the fixing member.
1. An electronic device, comprising:
a bottom wall forming a plurality of posts; each post comprising a supporting portion connected to the bottom wall, a head, and a neck connected between the supporting portion and the head, wherein a diameter of the neck is less than diameters of the head and the supporting portion;
a motherboard defining a plurality of through holes; each through hole comprising a first hole and a second hole communicated with the first hole, wherein the first hole is greater than the second hole in width, the diameter of the neck is less than the width of the second hole, the diameter of the head is less than the width of the first hole and greater than the width of the second hole;
a fixing member comprising a fixing body mounted to the bottom wall and a movable body, a block protruding from a top of the fixing body, the movable body comprising a main portion slidably mounted to the fixing body and a latching member, the latching member comprising a connecting piece connected to the main portion, the connecting piece defining a limiting slot in a bottom;
wherein the heads extend through the first holes, the necks abut against end walls bounding the corresponding second holes and away from the corresponding first holes, the motherboard is sandwiched between the heads and the supporting portions, the block is detachably engaged in the limiting slot, the main portion abuts against an end of the motherboard adjacent to the fixing member.
2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the fixing body defines two slots in opposite sides of the fixing member, two hooks extend from opposite sides of the main portion of the movable body and are sildably engaged the slots.
3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein an operation piece extends up from the connecting piece.
4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the movable body further comprises a supporting plate extending from a lower portion of the end of the main portion abutting against the motherboard to be inserted between the bottom wall and the motherboard.
5. The electronic device of claim 4 , wherein a slide slot is defined in a bottom surface of the supporting plate along a slide direction of the movable body, an extension plate extending from an end of the fixing member adjacent to the motherboard, a bar protrudes from the extension plate and slidably engages in the slide slot.
6. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein two standoffs protrude from the bottom wall, two tabs extend from opposite sides of the fixing body, two screws extend through the tabs and are engaged in the standoffs.
7. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein a protrusion protrudes from a bottom of the connecting piece, the limiting slot is defined in a bottom of the protrusion, the fixing member defines a recess in a top surface and slidably receiving the protrusion, the block protrudes from a bottom surface of the recess.
8. The electronic device of claim 7 , wherein opposite sides of each of the block and the protrusion are slanted surfaces.
