Abstract

A connecting assembly for connecting a first member and a second member, and the connecting assembly includes a resilient receiver and a securing plug. The second member defines a through hole. The resilient receiver is fixed to the first member and also defines a receiving space. A top of the resilient receiver passes through the through hole. The securing plug is configured to be inserted into the receiving space, which expands a part of the resilient receiver so as to fix the top of the resilient receiver on the second member thereby connecting the first member with the second member. Present disclosure also provides an electronic apparatus having the connecting assembly.

Claims (21)

1. A connecting assembly for connecting a first member and a second member, the second member defining a through hole, and the connecting assembly comprising:

a resilient receiver fixed to the first member and defining a receiving space, wherein a top of the resilient receiver passes through the through hole; and

a securing plug configured to be inserted into the receiving space, which expands a part of the resilient receiver so as to fix the top of the resilient receiver on the second member thereby connecting the first member with the second member.

2. The connecting assembly as recited in claim 1 , wherein the resilient receiver is welded on the first member corresponding to the through hole of the second member.

3. The connecting assembly as recited in claim 2 , wherein the resilient receiver comprises a base and at least two elastic arms extending upward from sides of the base, and the receiving space is defined by the at least two elastic arms.

4. The connecting assembly as recited in claim 3 , wherein each one of the at least two elastic arms comprises an elastic part and a hook extending from the elastic part, the elastic part extends upward from the base, and the hook is perpendicular to and extends outward from the elastic part.

5. The connecting assembly as recited in claim 4 , the resilient receiver is U-shaped.

6. The connecting assembly as recited in claim 1 , wherein the securing plug comprises a main body and a handgrip member, the handgrip member protrudes from one end of the main body.

7. The connecting assembly as recited in claim 6 , wherein a through opening is defined in a surface of the one end of the main body to pass through the handgrip member.

8. The connecting assembly as recited in claim 7 , wherein the other end of the main body comprises a conical part.

9. An electronic apparatus comprising:

a first member;

a second member defining a through hole; and

a connecting assembly for connecting the first member and the second member, and the connecting assembly comprising:

a resilient receiver fixed to the first member and defining a receiving space, wherein a top of the resilient receiver passes through the through hole; and

a securing plug configured to be inserted into the receiving space, which expands a part of the resilient receiver so as to fix the top of the resilient receiver on the second member thereby connecting the first member with the second member.

10. The electronic apparatus as recited in claim 9 , wherein the resilient receiver comprises a base and at least two elastic arms extending upward from sides of the base, and the receiving space is defined by the at least two elastic arms.

11. The electronic apparatus as recited in claim 10 , wherein each one of the at least two elastic arms comprises an elastic part and a hook extending from the elastic part, the elastic part extends upward from the base, and the hook is perpendicular to and extends outward from the elastic part.

12. The electronic apparatus as recited in claim 9 , wherein the securing plug comprises a main body and a handgrip member, the handgrip member protrudes from one end of the main body.

13. The electronic apparatus as recited in claim 12 , wherein a through opening is defined in a surface of the one end of the main body to pass through the handgrip member.

14. The electronic apparatus as recited in claim 13 , wherein the other end of the main body comprises a conical part.
