Abstract

A casing structure and an electronic device with the casing structure are disclosed. The casing structure includes a first casing, a second casing, a fixing element and a locking element. The second casing has a turning portion and an opening. The opening is formed at the turning portion. The fixing element is disposed in the first casing and corresponds to the opening. The locking element has an end part and a fixing part. The fixing part passes through the opening along a normal line direction of the opening to fix on the fixing element, so as to make the second casing connected to the first casing, and make the end part aligned to the second casing.

Claims

1. A casing structure, comprising:

a first casing;

a second casing including a turning portion and an opening formed at the turning portion;

a fixing element disposed at the first casing and corresponding to the opening; and

a locking element including an end part and a fixing part, wherein the fixing part passes through the opening along a normal line direction of the opening to fix on the fixing element to make the second casing connected to the first casing and make the end part aligned to the second casing.

2. The casing structure according to claim 1, wherein the turning portion is a curved surface or a slope.

3. The casing structure according to claim 1, wherein the end part has a surface.

4. The casing structure according to claim 3, wherein the surface corresponds to a curved surface or a slope of the turning portion.

5. The casing structure according to claim 1, wherein the casing structure further includes:

a connecting element disposed in the fixing element, wherein the locking element is connected to the connecting element

6. An electronic device comprising:

a casing structure including a first casing, a second casing, a fixing element and a locking element, wherein the second casing has a turning portion and an opening, the opening is formed at the turning portion, the fixing element is disposed in the first casing and corresponds to the opening, and the locking element has an end part and a fixing part; and

an electronic device body,

wherein the fixing part passes through the opening along a normal line direction of the opening to fix on the fixing element to make the second casing connected to the first casing and make the end part aligned to the second casing.

7. The electronic device according to claim 6, wherein the turning portion is a curved surface or a slope.

8. The electronic device according to claim 6, wherein the end part has a surface.

9. The electronic device according to claim 8, wherein the surface corresponds to a curved surface or a slope of the turning portion.

10. The electronic device according to claim 6, wherein the casing structure further includes:

a connecting element disposed in the fixing element, wherein the locking element is connected to the connecting element.
