Electronic device

Abstract

According to one embodiment, an electronic device includes a side wall, an interface component, a partition wall, and a protrusion. The side wall is formed on one of the bottom wall and the top wall of a housing to spatially separate the inside of the housing from the outside. The side wall includes a through opening. The interface component faces the through opening in the housing. The partition wall is formed on the one of the bottom wall and the top wall and coupled perpendicularly to the side wall. The partition wall spatially separates the inside of the housing and a component retainer formed as a cutout or a recess of the housing. The protrusion is formed on the one of the bottom wall and the top wall to be spaced apart from the partition wall. The interface component is held between the partition wall and the protrusion.

 a housing comprising a first wall, a second wall opposed to the first wall, a first side wall extending to the first wall and the second wall and comprising a hole, and a second side wall in a direction that intersects the first side wall;   a connector covering the second side wall in the housing and capable of connecting to an external component through the hole electrically;   a module covering the second side wall outside the housing and comprising a surface which is continuous with the first wall and the first side wall; and   a protrusion extending to the first wall and the second wall at a position in which the connector is between the first side wall and the protrusion.   
     
     
         2 . An electronic device comprising:
 a housing comprising a first side wall comprising a hole, and a second side wall in a direction that intersects the first side wall;   a connector covering the second side wall in the housing and capable of connecting to an external component through the hole electrically; and   a module covering the second side wall outside the housing and comprising a surface which is continuous with the first side wall.   
     
     
         3 . The electronic device of  claim 1 , wherein the second side wall comprises a first protrusion supporting the connector. 
     
     
         4 . The electronic device of  claim 1 , wherein the second side wall comprises a second protrusion supporting the module. 
     
     
         5 . The electronic device of  claim 4 , wherein the module is attached to the housing along the second side wall in a state in which the module is supported by the second protrusion. 
     
     
         6 . The electronic device of  claim 1 , wherein the housing comprises a third wall along the second side wall, and the connector is between the second side wall and the third wall. 
     
     
         7 . The electronic device of  claim 1 , wherein a length of the connector along the second side wall is shorter than a length of the second side wall. 
     
     
         8 . The electronic device of  claim 2 , further comprising:
 a first wall and a second wall opposed to the first wall, wherein each of the first side wall and the second side wall extends to the first wall and the second wall, and   one of the first wall and the second wall comprises a protrusion to which a coupling member for fixing the one of the first wall and the second wall to the other is fixed.   
     
     
         9 . The electronic device of  claim 8 , wherein the protrusion is located closer to a center of the housing than the connector is. 
     
     
         10 . The electronic device of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a second housing comprising a second end along a first end in which the first side wall of the housing is included; and   two hinges joining the first end with the second end rotatably, the hinges separated from each other, wherein   the module is located between the hinges when the housing is viewed from an opposite side of the second housing.   
     
     
         11 . The electronic device of  claim 10 , wherein the connector is located between one of the hinges and the module when the housing is viewed from the opposite side of the second housing. 
     
     
         12 . The electronic device of  claim 10 , further comprising:
 a slider provided to the housing, the slider configured to switch between a first state in which the module is locked to the housing and a second state in which the module is unlocked to the housing, wherein   the connector is located between the slider and the first side wall when the housing is viewed from the opposite side of the second housing.   
     
     
         13 . The electronic device of  claim 1 , wherein an insertion direction in which a second connector is inserted into or removed from the connector is along an insertion direction in which the module is inserted into or removed from the housing. 
     
     
         14 . The electronic device of  claim 1 , wherein the module comprises a battery. 
     
     
         15 . The electronic device of  claim 2 , wherein the second side wall comprises a first protrusion supporting the connector. 
     
     
         16 . The electronic device of  claim 2 , wherein the second side wall comprises a second protrusion supporting the module. 
     
     
         17 . The electronic device of  claim 2 , wherein
 the housing comprises a third wall along the second side wall, and the connector is between the second side wall and the third wall.   
     
     
         18 . The electronic device of  claim 2 , wherein
 a length of the connector along the second side wall is shorter than a length of the second side wall.   
     
     
         19 . The electronic device of  claim 2 , further comprising:
 a second housing comprising a second end along a first end in which the first side wall of the housing is included; and   two hinges joining the first end with the second end rotatably, the hinges separated from each other, wherein   the module is located between the hinges when the housing is viewed from an opposite side of the second housing.   
     
     
         20 . The electronic device of  claim 2 , wherein an insertion direction in which a second connector is inserted into or removed from the connector is along an insertion direction in which the module is inserted into or removed from the housing.
