Abstract

A packing structure including a first packing casing, a second packing casing, and two lenses is provided. The second packing casing is adapted to be combined with the first packing casing detachably, such that a containing space is formed between the first packing casing and the second packing casing. The containing space is adapted to contain an electronic device. The two lenses are disposed on the second packing casing. An image displayed by a display surface of the electronic device is adapted to be transmitted to outside of the containing space through the two lenses, so as to form a virtual reality image.

Claims

1. A packing structure, comprising:

a first packing casing;

a second packing casing, adapted to be combined with the first packing casing detachably, such that a containing space is formed between the first packing casing and the second packing casing, wherein the containing space is adapted to contain an electronic device;

at least one location element, disposed on the first packing casing and located outside the second packing casing, wherein the at least one location element is adapted to position the electronic device, and the at least one location element comprises two location elements separated from each other,

wherein each of the two location elements comprises a concave portion, and the concave portions are facing each other for positioning the electronic device therebetween,

wherein the electronic device comprises a display surface and two longitudinal-side surfaces, the two longitudinal-side surfaces are respectively perpendicular to the display surface and opposite to each other,

wherein two gaps are respectively formed between the two location elements, the electronic device, and the first packing casing and extend along the longitudinal-side surfaces, the two gaps respectively expose a portion of each of the two longitudinal-side surfaces; and

two lenses, disposed on the second packing casing, wherein an image displayed by the display surface of the electronic device is adapted to be transmitted to outside of the containing space through the two lenses, so as to form a virtual reality image.

2. The packing structure as claimed in claim 1, comprising a third packing casing, wherein the third packing casing is adapted to be fitted around the first packing casing and the second packing casing, to cover at least a portion of the first packing casing and at least a portion of the second packing casing and to restrict the second packing casing at the first packing casing.

3. The packing structure as claimed in claim 1, comprising a fourth packing casing, wherein at least one accessory of the electronic device is adapted to be contained in the fourth packing casing, and the fourth packing casing is adapted to be contained in the containing space and sandwiched between the electronic device and the second packing casing.

4. The packing structure as claimed in claim 1, wherein the second packing casing has two opening holes, an inner edge of each of the two opening holes has a plurality of protruding portions, and the protruding portions restrict the two lenses respectively within the two opening holes.

5. The packing structure as claimed in claim 1, wherein the second packing casing comprises a main body and a touch portion, the touch portion is bendably connected to the main body and is adapted to be bent into the containing space, and the touch portion is adapted to be forced to press the display surface for performing a touch operation on the display surface.

6. The packing structure as claimed in claim 5, having at least one opening, wherein the second packing casing has a linkage portion, the at least one opening exposes the linkage portion, the linkage portion is connected to the touch portion, and the linkage portion is adapted to be forced through the at least one opening to drive the touch portion to press the display surface.

7. The packing structure as claimed in claim 6, wherein a material of the touch portion and the linkage portion comprises a conductive material.

8. The packing structure as claimed in claim 5, comprising an elastic connection element, wherein the elastic connection element is connected to the main body and is adapted to be detachably connected to the touch portion, and the touch portion is adapted to return to a position away from the display surface through an elastic force of the elastic connection element.

9. The packing structure as claimed in claim 8, wherein the main body has a hole, the touch portion has at least one recess, an end of the elastic connection element is connected to the main body through the hole, and the other end of the elastic connection element is detachably fitted around the touch portion through the at least one recess.

10. The packing structure as claimed in claim 1, wherein the at least one location element is at least one elastic location element is adapted to position the electronic device.
