Abstract
The invention relates to an external assembly component including a body, a housing and a buffer sleeve. The body is provided with a connector. The housing is provided with a notch, and a surrounding wall encircling the notch is erected on an outer side of the housing. The body is accommodated in the housing. The connector passes through the notch toward the outside, the surrounding wall encircles the connector, and the buffer sleeve covers the surrounding wall. Thus, a plug of the connector can be effectively protected from impact and damage, and waterproof and dustproof effects are provided.
Claims20
An external electronic component, comprising:
- a body provided with a first connector;
- a housing provided with a notch, and a surrounding wall encircling the notch and erected on an outer side of the housing such that the surrounding wall protrudes from the housing in a direction facing away from the body, wherein the body is accommodated in the housing, the first connector passes through the notch to an outside, and the surrounding wall encircles the first connector;
- and
- a buffer sleeve enveloping the surrounding wall.
An electronic device, comprising:
- a casing provided with an accommodating chamber at an outer surface thereof;
- a mobile latch movably disposed at the casing and located on one side of the accommodating chamber;
- and
- an external electronic component, comprising:
- a body provided with a first connector;
- a housing provided with a notch, and a surrounding wall encircling the notch and erected on an outer side of the housing, wherein the body is accommodated in the housing, the first connector passes through the notch to an outside, and the surrounding wall encircles the first connector;
- and
- a buffer sleeve enveloping the surrounding wall;
- wherein, the external electronic component is embedded in the accommodating chamber, and the mobile latch is movable so as to stop the external electronic component.
