Abstract

A clamping component and an electronic device using the same are provided. The clamping component includes a base and a combining portion. The base is disposed at one side of an accommodating space of the body. The combining portion has a obstructing structure and is disposed at the base. The obstructing structure is exposed to the accommodating space. When the second body is received into the accommodating space, the obstructing structure is elastically deformed to against the second body. The clamping component of the disclosure make the two bodies disassembled and assembled without affecting the appearance, and therefore the aesthetic of the two bodies can be maintained, further, the obstructing structure can improve the convenience in assembling the electronic device. In addition, the risk that the second body is detached from the first body under the external shock or a sudden vibration can be reduced via the clamping component.

Claims

1. A clamping component adapted to a first body, wherein the first body includes an accommodating space, the clamping component comprising:

a base disposed around the accommodating space; and

a combining portion including a obstructing structure and disposed at the base, wherein the obstructing structure is exposed to the accommodating space, when a second body is received into the accommodating space, the obstructing structure is elastically deformed to against the second body.

2. The clamping component according to claim 1, wherein the second body moves into the accommodating space from an inlet end of the accommodating space, the obstructing structure includes a plurality of convex elements, and the convex elements face toward a direction away from the inlet end.

3. The clamping component according to claim 1, wherein point angles of each of the convex elements is between 25 degrees to 35 degrees.

4. The clamping component according to claim 1, wherein the material of the base is plastics or silicone rubber, and the material of the combining portion is silicone rubber.

5. An electronic device, comprising:

a first body including an accommodating space;

a second body received in the accommodating space;

a plurality of the clamping components symmetrically disposed at opposite sides of the accommodating space, respectively, wherein each of the clamping components includes;

a base disposed around the accommodating space; and

a combining portion including a obstructing structure and disposed at the base, wherein the obstructing structure is exposed to the accommodating space, when the second body is received into the accommodating space, the obstructing structure is elastically deformed to against the second body.

6. The electronic device according to claim 5, wherein the accommodating space includes an inlet end, the second body moves into the accommodating space from the inlet end.

7. The electronic device according to claim 6, wherein the obstructing structure includes a plurality of convex elements, and a tip of the convex elements face toward a direction away from the inlet end.

8. The electronic device according to claim 7, wherein point angles of each of the convex elements is between 25 degrees to 35 degrees.

9. The electronic device according to claim 7, wherein the clamping components include a first part and a second part, the convex elements of the clamping components of the second part protrude a distance relative to the convex elements of the clamping components of the first part, respectively, the distance is between 0.1 mm and 0.3 mm.

10. The electronic device according to claim 5, wherein the material of the base is plastics or silicone rubber, and the material of the combining portion is silicone rubber.
