Abstract

An electronic device includes a housing, a first protrusion portion and a first covering member. The housing has a bottom portion. The first protrusion portion is arranged on the bottom portion of the housing, wherein the first protrusion portion has a first groove through which a first wire passes. The first covering member detachably covers the first protrusion portion, wherein the first covering member has a first opening. In a first position, the first opening of the first covering member is used for allowing the first wire to pass through.

Claims (26)

1. An electronic device, comprising:

a housing having a bottom portion;

a first protrusion portion arranged on the bottom portion of the housing, the first protrusion portion having a first groove; and

a first covering member for detachably covering the first protrusion portion, the first covering member having a first opening;

wherein when the first covering member covers the first protrusion portion in a first position, the first opening of the first covering member is in communication with the first groove of the first protrusion portion, and a first wire can pass through the first opening of the first covering member and the first groove of the first protrusion portion, and

wherein when the first covering member covers the first protrusion portion in a second position, the first opening of the first covering member is not in communication with the first groove of the first protrusion portion, and no wire can pass through the first opening of the first covering member and the first groove of the first protrusion portion.

2. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first covering member further has a first recess portion, and the first covering member covers the first protrusion portion through the first recess portion.

3. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein an extending direction of the first opening of the first covering member is the same as an extending direction of the first wire.

4. The electronic device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the first opening of the first covering member passes through the first covering member in parallel to an extending direction of the first wire.

5. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a second covering member for detachably covering the first protrusion portion, wherein the second covering member has a second opening, the first protrusion portion has a second groove and, wherein when the second covering member covers the first protrusion portion in the first position, the second opening of the second covering member is in communication with the second groove of the first protrusion portion, and a second wire can pass through the second opening of the second covering member and the second groove of the first protrusion portion.

6. The electronic device as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the first protrusion portion has a first sub-groove in communication with the first groove, and the first covering member is engaged in the first sub-groove.

7. The electronic device as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the first protrusion portion further has a second sub-groove in communication with the second groove, and the second covering member is engaged in the second sub-groove.

8. The electronic device as claimed in claim 5 , wherein, when the second covering member is in a second position, the second opening of the second covering member and the second groove of the first protrusion portion are not in communication.

9. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a second covering member for detachably covering the first protrusion portion, wherein the second covering member further has a second recess portion, and the second covering member covers the first protrusion portion through the second recess portion.

10. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first protrusion portion further has a first sub-groove, the first sub-groove has a first sidewall, and the first covering member has a second sidewall, wherein when the first covering member covers the first protrusion portion in the first position, the first sidewall of the first sub-groove is aligned with the second sidewall of the first protrusion portion, and the first covering member is engaged in the first sub-groove.

11. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:

a second protrusion portion arranged on the bottom of the housing and opposite to the first protrusion portion, the second protrusion portion having a third groove; and

a third covering member for covering the second protrusion portion, the third covering member having a third opening,

wherein the third groove of the second protrusion portion and the third opening of the third covering member are used for allowing the first wire to pass through.

12. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising an upper lid for covering the housing, wherein the upper lid has a side wall provided with an opening and, when the first covering member is in the first position, the opening of the side wall is in communication with the first opening of the first covering member and the first groove of the first protrusion portion.

13. The electronic device as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the upper lid is in contact with an upper surface of the first protrusion portion and an upper surface of the first covering member.

14. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the housing further has a protruding part arranged on the bottom portion, and the protruding part protrudes away from the bottom portion.

15. The electronic device as claimed in claim 14 , further comprising a water absorbing unit arranged on the protruding part, wherein when the first covering member covers the first protrusion portion in the first position, the first wire passes through the first opening of the first covering member and the first groove of the first protrusion portion, and the water absorbing unit is disposed between the protruding part of the housing and the first wire.

16. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first opening is a non-closed opening.

17. The electronic device as claimed in claim 16 , wherein an opening direction of the first opening faces the bottom portion of the housing.

18. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first wire is fixed in the first groove of the first protrusion portion through the first covering member.
