Coupled structure and electronic device
View Patent ↗A coupled structure is capable of suppressing breakage of a hook member and keeping the coupled state between members. An electronic device includes the coupled structure. A coupled structure is a keyboard unit coupled to a main body chassis. The coupled structure includes an engagement hole on the keyboard unit and a hook member that protrudes from an upper face of a support plate on the main body chassis and can be engaged with the engagement hole. The support plate has a plate spring capable of elastic displacement with respect to a peripheral part. The hook member is on the plate spring.
1. A coupled structure comprising:
a first member having an engagement hole;
a second member coupled to the first member; and
a hook member configured to engage the engagement hole, the hook member protruding from a surface of a plate-like part on the second member,
wherein the plate-like part has a plate spring capable of elastic displacement with respect to a peripheral part,
the hook member is on the plate-like part,
the surface of the plate-like part has a notch-like hole that surrounds three sides of the hook member and the plate spring,
the hook member has a base standing from a surface of the plate spring and a claw bending from a distal end of the base along the surface, and
the notch-like hole includes a pair of side holes on both sides of the hook member and a back hole on a back of the base that is on an opposite side of the claw in a protruding direction, the back hole connecting the side holes.
2. The coupled structure according to claim 1 , wherein:
the plate-like part and the hook member are integrally molded from resin material including reinforced fiber, and
the hook member has an R-shaped portion in a root thereof, the R-shaped portion protruding from the plate spring.
3. A coupled structure comprising:
a first member having an engagement hole is provided;
a second member coupled to the first member; and
a hook member that protrudes from a surface of a plate-like part on the second member, and is configured to be engage the engagement hole,
wherein the plate-like part and the hook member are integrally molded from resin material including reinforced fiber,
wherein the plate-like part has a plate spring capable of elastic displacement with respect to a peripheral part,
the hook member has a base standing from a surface of the plate spring and a claw bending from a distal end of the base along the surface,
the plate-like part has a hole in a position overlapping, in a direction perpendicular to a planar surface of the plate-like part, with the claw,
the hook member has an R-shaped portion in a root of the base, the R-shaped portion being in the hole, the R-shaped portion having one end that is always free of contact with the second member.
4. An electronic device comprising a coupled structure having,
a first member having an engagement hole;
a second member coupled to the first member; and
a hook member configured to engage the engagement hole, the hook member protruding from a surface of a plate-like part on the second member,
wherein the plate-like part has a plate spring capable of elastic displacement with respect to a peripheral part, and
the hook member is on the plate-like part, wherein
the first member is a keyboard unit, and
the second member is a chassis that the keyboard unit is mounted on an upper face thereof, wherein:
the surface of the plate-like part has a notch-like hole that surrounds three sides of the hook member and the plate spring,
the hook member has a base standing from a surface of the plate spring and a claw bending from a distal end of the base along the surface, and
the notch-like hole includes a pair of side holes on both sides of the hook member and a back hole on a back of the base that is on an opposite side of the claw in a protruding direction, the back hole connecting the side holes.
