Abstract
A housing is provided. The housing includes a side wall having a plurality of holes and at least one reinforcing rib disposed on a surface of the side wall, wherein the holes are disposed on a side surface of the side wall, the at least one reinforcing rib extends along the edges of the holes, and the at least one reinforcing rib has a plurality of extending directions parallel to the surface, and the extending directions are different from each other. The side wall and the reinforcing rib are an integral structure, and the reinforcing rib does not cover the holes.
Claims23
A housing, comprising:
- a side wall having a plurality of holes;
- and
- at least one reinforcing rib disposed on a surface of the side wall, wherein the holes are disposed on a side surface of the side wall, the at least one reinforcing rib extends along edges of the holes, and the at least one reinforcing rib has a plurality of extending directions parallel to the surface, and the extending directions are different from each other, wherein the side wall and the at least one reinforcing rib are an integral structure, and the at least one reinforcing rib does not cover the holes.
A method for manufacturing a housing, comprising:
- assembling a plurality of molds, wherein the molds comprises a male mold, a female mold, at least one slide and at least one lifter, wherein the male mold and the female mold are arranged oppositely, the at least one lifter is adjacent to the male mold and is disposed on a same side of the female mold as the male mold, and the at least one slide is disposed on a side of the male mold and the female mold, and a cavity is formed between the male mold, the female mold, the at least one slide and the at least one lifter;
- injecting an injection material into the cavity;
- and
- performing demolding steps after the injection material has cooled, wherein the demolding steps comprise exiting the female mold, exiting the at least one slide, exiting the male mold, and exiting the at least one lifter, wherein an exit direction of the at least one lifter is different from an exit direction of the male mold, and the at least one lifter is used to form at least one reinforcing rib.
