Abstract

A housing includes two base each having at least one sidewall, a gap defined between the two bases and a non-conductive member positioned in the gap, the sidewall has a plurality of grooves, the non-conductive member is filled into the grooves to enhance bonding strength between the non-conductive member and the two bases. An electronic device having the housing and a method of making the housing are also provided.

Claims (14)

1. A housing comprising: two bases each having an internal surface and at least one sidewall, the internal surface adjacent to the sidewall and the sidewall having a plurality of grooves; a gap defined between the two bases; and a non-conductive member being positioned in the gap, and filled into the grooves to enhance bonding strength between the non-conductive member and the two bases; wherein each groove has two opposite lateral surfaces and a bottom surface adjacent to the lateral surfaces, a plurality of partitions are located between two adjacent grooves, each partition includes a top surface; the lateral surfaces, the bottom surfaces and the top surfaces all have holes, the non-conductive member is filled in the holes, and the non-conductive member covers at least a portion of the internal surface and the sidewall.

2. The housing as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the bases are made of a metal, an antenna is positioned in the housing and aligns with the gap.

3. The housing as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the holes have a diameter of 10 nm to 300 nm.

4. The housing as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the lateral surfaces, the bottom surfaces and the top surfaces all have oxide layer, the oxide layers have holes having a diameter of 10 nm to 300 nm, the non-conductive member is filled in the holes of the oxide layers.

5. The housing as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the gap has a width of 0.1 mm to 0.3 mm, portions of the non-conductive member positioned in the gap have a width of 0.1 to 0.3 mm.

6. The housing as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a number of the gap is two, the two gaps are located at two opposite sides of the housing, such that housing is spaced by the gaps, and forming three bases.

7. The housing as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a number of the gap is one, the gap is formed within the housing.

8. An electronic device, comprising: a body; a housing having: two bases each having an internal surface and at least one sidewall, the internal surface adjacent to the sidewall and the sidewall having a plurality of grooves; a gap defined between the two bases; and a non-conductive member being positioned in the gap, and filled into the grooves to enhance bonding strength between the non-conductive member and the two bases; and an antenna assembled in the housing; wherein each groove has two opposite lateral surfaces and a bottom surface adjacent to the lateral surfaces, a plurality of partitions are located between two adjacent grooves, each partition includes a top surface; the lateral surfaces, the bottom surfaces and the top surfaces all have holes, the non-conductive member is filled in the holes, and the non-conductive member covers at least a portion of the internal surface and the sidewall.

9. The electronic device as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the holes have a diameter of 10 nm to 300 nm.

10. The electronic device as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the lateral surfaces, the bottom surfaces and the top surfaces all have oxide layer, the oxide layers have holes having a diameter of 10 nm to 300 nm, the non-conductive member is filled in the holes of the oxide layers.

11. The electronic device as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the non-conductive member and the gap correspond to the antenna.

12. The electronic device as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the gap has a width of 0.1 mm to 0.3 mm, portions of the non-conductive member positioned in the gap have a width of 0.1 to 0.3 mm.

13. The electronic device as claimed in claim 8 , wherein a number of the gap is two, the two gaps are located at two opposite sides of the housing, such that housing is spaced by the gaps, and forming three bases.

14. The electronic device as claimed in claim 8 , wherein a number of the gap is one, the gap is formed within the housing.
