Abstract
An electronic device terminal protection structure includes: a groove including a socket that exposes a connector to the outside, and a cover covering the groove. The cover includes: a cover plate having a plate shape, a hinge member provided at one end of the cover plate, a latch member, provided at the other end of the cover plate to perform a sliding operation, and a packing inserted into the socket and that abuts against a side wall of the socket when the cover is closed. The groove includes: a hinge fixing portion to which the hinge member is pivotably fixed, a barb that is engaged with the latch member, and a guide slope that leads the cover in a direction of pulling out the packing from the socket when the latch member abuts against the guide slope during a sliding operation performed in conjunction with disengagement of the latch member.
