Abstract

A cover opening structure including a case, a cover, a pushing button, a pushing unit and an axle is provided. The cover has a first portion having a first side, a second portion having a second side connected to the case, and a connecting portion connected therebetween, wherein the connecting portion is softer than the first and second portions. The pushing button disposed on the case has a body and an inserting portion extended from the body. The pushing unit has a first end, a second end and a leaning portion connected therebetween and is inserted between the body and the first end. The axle is disposed at the case while the leaning portion leans against the axle. The pushing unit rotates about the axle while the first end moves downward and the second end moves upward to push up the first portion when the pushing button is moved.
