Abstract

An electronic device includes a main body, a keyboard, a fastening member, and an elastic member. The main body defines an assembling groove. The keyboard is disposed in the assembling groove of the main body. The fastening member is movably disposed in the main body. The elastic member is sleeved on the fastening member, and configured for producing an elastic force to drive the fastening member to engage with the main body.

Claims (25)

1. An electronic device, comprising:

a main body defining an assembling groove;

a keyboard detachably disposed in the assembling groove of the main body;

at least one fastening member movably disposed in the main body; and

at least one elastic member sleeved on the at least one fastening member, and configured for producing an elastic force to drive the at least one fastening member to engage with the main body.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the main body defines a universal serial bus (USB) socket; a plug is formed on the keyboard; the plug engages with the USB socket.

3. The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein the keyboard defines at least one positioning groove; at least one positioning portion is formed on the main body; the at least one positioning portion engages with the at least one positioning groove.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one fastening member comprises a connecting shaft, a restricting portion, and an operating portion; the connecting shaft and the operating portion are disposed on opposite ends of the restricting portion.

5. The electronic device of claim 4 , wherein the main body further defines at least one receiving groove adjacent to the assembling groove; the restricting portion is received in the at least one receiving groove.

6. The electronic device of claim 5 , wherein the main body further comprises at least one cover engaging in a top of the at least one receiving groove.

7. The electronic device of claim 5 , wherein the main body further defines a through hole communicating the assembling groove with the at least one receiving groove; the connecting shaft of the at least one fastening member is movably received in the through hole.

8. The electronic device of claim 7 , wherein the elastic member is sleeved on the connecting shaft of the at least one fastening member, and received in the receiving groove.

9. The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein the elastic member is a spring, one end of the spring is connected to the restricting portion of the fastening member, and the other end of the spring is connected to the main body.

10. The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein the keyboard defines at least one connecting hole; the connecting shaft of the at least fastening member engages with the at least one connecting hole.

11. The electronic device of claim 1 being a notebook computer.

12. An electronic device, comprising:

a main body defining as assembling groove;

a keyboard disposed in the main body and defining at least one connecting hole; and

at least one fastening member movably disposed in the main body, the at least one fastening member having a connecting shaft capable of engaging with the connecting hole of the keyboard.

13. The electronic device of claim 12 , wherein the main body defines a USB socket; a plug is formed on the keyboard; the plug engages with the USB socket.

14. The electronic device of claim 13 , wherein the keyboard defines at least one positioning groove; at least one positioning portion is formed on the main body; the at least one positioning portion engages with the at least one positioning groove.

15. The electronic device of claim 12 , wherein the at least one fastening member comprises a connecting shaft, a restricting portion, and an operating portion; the connecting shaft and the operating portion are disposed on opposite ends of the restricting portion.

16. The electronic device of claim 15 , wherein the main body further defines at least one receiving groove adjacent to the assembling groove; the restricting portion is received in the at least one receiving groove.

17. The electronic device of claim 16 , wherein the main body further defines a through hole communicating the assembling groove with the at least one receiving groove; the connecting shaft of the at least one fastening member is movably received in the through hole.

18. The electronic device of claim 17 , wherein the keyboard defines at least one connecting hole; the connecting shaft of the at least fastening member engages with the at least one connecting hole.
