Abstract

A door structure includes a rotary cover, a pivotal portion and a shielding component. The rotary cover is connected to a housing in a rotatable manner. The rotary cover covers a slot on the housing as rotating to a closed position. The pivotal portion is connected to the rotary cover and passes through a pivoting hole on the housing to be pivoted on the housing so that the rotary cover is capable of rotating relative to the housing. The shielding component is installed on the pivotal portion and disposed inside the housing. The shielding component is for shielding at least one part of the pivoting hole on the housing when the rotary cover rotates to an open position to expose the slot on the housing and the shielding component pivots to a position corresponding to or nearby the pivoting hole with the pivotal portion.

Claims (35)

1. A door structure comprising:

a rotary cover connected to a housing in a rotatable manner, the rotary cover covering a slot on the housing as rotating to a closed position;

a pivotal portion, the pivotal portion comprising:

a first part connected to the rotary cover;

a second part pivoting to a pivoting hole on a side of the slot on the housing, so that the rotary cover rotates relative to the housing; and

a third part located inside or adjacent to the pivoting hole when the rotary cover rotates relative to the housing; and

a shielding component detachably disposed on the third part, the shielding component moving with the third part to the pivoting hole or to a position adjacent to the pivoting hole when the rotary cover rotates to an opened position to expose the slot on the housing, so as to contact against the housing to at least partly shield the pivoting hole on the housing.

2. The door structure of claim 1 , wherein dimensions of the shielding component are substantially greater than dimensions of the pivoting hole.

3. The door structure of claim 2 , wherein the shielding component contacts against an inner side of the pivoting hole when the rotary cover rotates to the opened position.

4. The door structure of claim 2 , wherein a part of the shielding component fits into the pivoting hole, and the other part of the shielding component contacts against an inner side of the pivoting hole when the rotary cover rotates to the opened position.

5. The door structure of claim 1 , wherein dimensions of the shielding component are substantially equal to or smaller than dimensions of the pivoting hole.

6. The door structure of claim 5 , wherein the shielding component fits into the pivoting hole when the rotary cover rotates to the opened position.

7. The door structure of claim 5 , wherein the shielding component is located at outside of the pivoting hole and adjacent to the pivoting hole when the rotary cover rotates to the opened position.

8. The door structure of claim 1 , wherein a sunken slot is formed on the shielding component, and the third part of the pivotal portion is a hook for engaging with the sunken slot so as to fix the shielding component on the pivotal portion.

9. The door structure of claim 1 , wherein the shielding component is made of nonconductive material.

10. The door structure of claim 9 , wherein the shielding component is made of rubber material.

11. An electronic device comprising:

a housing whereon a slot and a pivoting hole are formed;

at least one connector installed on a side of the slot on the housing; and

a door structure connected to the housing for shielding the at least one connector, the door structure comprising:

a rotary cover connected to the housing in a rotatable manner, the rotary cover covering the at least one connector as rotating to a closed position;

a pivotal portion, the pivotal portion comprising:

a first part connected to the rotary cover;

a second part pivoting to the pivoting hole on a side of the slot on the housing, so that the rotary cover rotates relative to the housing; and

a third part located inside or adjacent to the pivoting hole when the rotary cover rotates relative to the housing; and

a shielding component detachably disposed on the third part, the shielding component moving with the third part to the pivoting hole or to a position adjacent to the pivoting hole when the rotary cover rotates to an opened position to expose the slot on the housing, so as to contact against the housing to at least partly shield the pivoting hole on the housing.

12. The electronic device of claim 11 , wherein dimensions of the shielding component are substantially greater than dimensions of the pivoting hole.

13. The electronic device of claim 12 , wherein the shielding component contacts against an inner side of the pivoting hole when the rotary cover rotates to the opened position.

14. The electronic device of claim 12 , wherein a part of the shielding component fits into the pivoting hole, and the other part of the shielding component contacts against an inner side of the pivoting hole when the rotary cover rotates to the opened position.

15. The electronic device of claim 11 , wherein dimensions of the shielding component are substantially equal to or smaller than dimensions of the pivoting hole.

16. The electronic device of claim 15 , wherein the shielding component fits into the pivoting hole when the rotary cover rotates to the opened position.

17. The electronic device of claim 15 , wherein the shielding component is located at outside of the pivoting hole and adjacent to the pivoting hole when the rotary cover rotates to the opened position.

18. The electronic device of claim 11 , wherein a sunken slot is formed on the shielding component, and the third part of the pivotal portion is a hook for engaging with the sunken slot so as to fix the shielding component on the pivotal portion.

19. The electronic device of claim 11 , wherein the shielding component is made of nonconductive material.

20. The electronic device of claim 19 , wherein the shielding component is made of rubber material.
