Abstract
A portable electronic device includes a circuit board and at least one treatment element mounted adjacent to the circuit board and storing volatile maintaining matters therein. The circuit board generates heat when the portable electronic device is working to heat the treatment element, and then the maintaining matters volatilize to maintain the portable electronic device.
Claims19
A portable electronic device, comprising:
- a circuit board;
- at least one treatment element mounted adjacent to the circuit board and storing volatile treatment liquids therein;
- and
- a shield defining a plurality of meshes therein, the shield shielding a part of the circuit board to prevent the part of the circuit board from being dampened by the treatment liquids;
- wherein the circuit board generates heat to heat the treatment element when the portable electronic device is working, and then the treatment liquids volatilize and enter the shield through the meshes to maintain the part of the circuit board shielded by the shield.

A portable electronic device, comprising:
- a circuit board;
- a cover assembled to the circuit board;
- at least one treatment element attached to the cover and placed between the circuit board and the cover, wherein the treatment element comprises volatilize maintaining matter, and the maintaining matter automatically volatilizes to maintain the portable electronic device;
- and
- a shield defining a plurality of meshes therein and shielding a part of the circuit board;
- wherein when the maintaining matter has not volatilized, the shield separates the part of the circuit board from the maintaining matter;
- and when the maintaining matter has volatilized, the gaseous maintaining matter enters the shield through the meshes to maintain the part of the circuit board shielded by the shield.
