Shielding structure for housing

Abstract

A shielding structure for a housing includes a number of elastic conductive elements, at least one carrier, and a cover. The elastic conductive elements are distributed along a periphery of an opening portion of the housing. Each elastic conductive element includes a soft material and a conductive material wrapping the soft material. The at least one carrier fixes the elastic conductive elements to the periphery of the opening portion. The cover covers the opening portion and has a conductive layer electrically connected to each conductive material.

 a plurality of elastic conductive elements distributed along a periphery of an opening portion of the housing, each of the elastic conductive elements comprising a soft material and a conductive material wrapping the soft material;   at least one carrier fixing the elastic conductive elements to the periphery of the opening portion; and   a cover covering the opening portion and comprising a conductive layer electrically connected to each of the conductive materials.   
     
     
         2 . The shielding structure for the housing according to  claim 1 , wherein the conductive material comprises a conductive fabric or a conductive metal mesh screen. 
     
     
         3 . The shielding structure for the housing according to  claim 1 , wherein the soft material comprises a foam. 
     
     
         4 . The shielding structure for the housing according to  claim 3 , wherein the material of the foam comprises polyester foam resin or acrylic foam resin. 
     
     
         5 . The shielding structure for the housing according to  claim 1 , wherein the housing has a supporting surface and a plurality of slots formed along the periphery of the opening portion, and the at least one carrier comprises a plurality of carriers fixing the elastic conductive elements in the slots, respectively. 
     
     
         6 . The shielding structure for the housing according to  claim 1 , wherein the housing comprises a plurality of rivets formed on an inner surface of the housing, and the at least one carrier comprises a plurality of carriers with the rivets inserting through the carriers to fix the carriers to the inner surface of the housing. 
     
     
         7 . The shielding structure for the housing according to  claim 1 , wherein the conductive layer and each of the conductive material are electrically connected in a face-to-face contact manner. 
     
     
         8 . The shielding structure for the housing according to  claim 1 , wherein the housing, the cover and the elastic conductive elements are closely engaged with one another. 
     
     
         9 . The shielding structure for the housing according to  claim 1 , wherein the elastic conductive elements are strip-shaped. 
     
     
         10 . The shielding structure for the housing according to  claim 1 , wherein the elastic conductive elements are coplanarly arranged along the periphery of the opening portion. 
     
     
         11 . The shielding structure for the housing according to  claim 10 , wherein the elastic conductive elements are slightly higher than the plane at which the opening portion is located.
