Abstract

A chassis structure including a box body is provided. The box body includes a main plate and a plurality of side plates. The main plate includes a hollow region and a bent component adjoining to the hollow region, wherein the bent component includes a folded edge connected to the hollow region. The side plates surround a periphery of the main plate and define an accommodating space. Therefore, manufacturing costs are saved, a manufacturing process is simplified, and smoothness and neatness in appearance are maintained.

Claims

1. A chassis structure, comprising:

a box body, comprising;

a main plate comprising a hollow region and a bent component adjoining to the hollow region, wherein the bent component comprises a folded edge connected to the hollow region, a first sub-bent component and a second sub-bent component connected to the first sub-bent component, wherein the first sub-bent component comprises a bent body and the second sub-bent component comprises an overlapping portion, and the overlapping portion overlaps with the bent body of the first sub-bent component; and

a plurality of side plates surrounding a periphery of the main plate and defining an accommodating space;

wherein the first sub-bent component comprises a first folded edge connected to the hollow region, and the second sub-bent component comprises a second folded edge connected to the first sub-bent component; and

wherein the bent body has an opening.

2. The chassis structure as recited in claim 1, further comprising:

a cover assembled to an outer surface of the main plate and covering the hollow region of the main plate.

3. The chassis structure as recited in claim 2, wherein the main plate further comprises an inner surface opposite to the outer surface, and the bent component is disposed on the inner surface.

4. The chassis structure as recited in claim 1, wherein the main plate and the plurality of side plates are an integral structure.

5. The chassis structure as recited in claim 1, wherein the hollow region and the bent component of the main plate correspond to each other in shape.

6. The chassis structure as recited in claim 1, wherein the bent component further comprises a bonding portion bonded to an inner surface of the main plate.

7. The chassis structure as recited in claim 6, wherein the bent component further comprises a cradle connected to the bonding portion.

8. The chassis structure as recited in claim 7, wherein the cradle and the inner surface of the main plate are spatially separated from each other.

9. The chassis structure as recited in claim 7, wherein the bonding portion is connected to two adjacent sides of the cradle.

10. The chassis structure as recited in claim 7, wherein the bonding portion comprises two sub-bonding portions, and the two sub-bonding portions are disposed on two opposite sides of the cradle.

11. The chassis structure as recited in claim 7, wherein the bent component further comprises a bump, and at least a portion of the bump is disposed on the cradle.

12. The chassis structure as recited in claim 11, wherein the bump is connected to the bonding portion.

13. The chassis structure as recited in claim 11, wherein the bump has an assembling hole.

14. The chassis structure as recited in claim 1, wherein the first sub-bent component and the second sub-bent component of the main plate are an integral structure.

15. The chassis structure as recited in claim 1, wherein the overlapping portion is connected to the second folded edge of the second sub-bent component.

16. The chassis structure as recited in claim 1, wherein the overlapping portion is located between an inner surface of the main plate and the bent body of the first sub-bent component.

17. The chassis structure as recited in claim 1, wherein the bent body of the first sub-bent component is located between an inner surface of the main plate and the overlapping portion of the second sub-bent component.
