## Background
BACKGROUND
1. Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to portable electronic devices, particularly, to a portable electronic device with a stamp therein.
2. Description of Related Art
Potable electronic devices such as mobile phones, personal digital assistants, etc., are widely used. Generally, users carry the portable electronic devices everywhere at all time for easy communicating with others. Some users usually imprint their names or designs on papers with stamps. However, it is easy to forget carrying the stamp or misplace the stamp. Thus, a portable electronic device with a stamp therein appears. The stamp is positioned at one end of the portable electronic device, and a cover is used to protect the stamp. This may increase volume of the portable electronic device and cost of manufacturing the portable electronic device.
Therefore, there is room for improvement within the art.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
FIGS. 1-2 shows a portable electronic device 100 in accordance with an exemplary embodiment. The portable electronic device 100 includes a main body 10, a stamp structure 20 and a cover 30.
The main body 10 includes a top surface 11 and an end wall 12. The top surface 11 defines a cavity 15 at a middle portion for receiving a battery (not shown). The end wall 12 defines a through hole 120, and a connector (not shown) is set in the opening. A recessed portion 140 is formed in the top surface 11 adjacent to the cavity 15. The recessed portion 140 includes a longitudinal section 16 extending to the end wall 12. The longitudinal section 16 includes a bottom surface 161, and a receiving groove 162 is defined in the bottom surface 161. A stepped hole 163 and a protrusion 1611 are positioned at two sides of the receiving groove 162. The protrusion 1611 has an arcuate cross section. The through hole 120 is beneath the protrusion 1611.
Referring to FIG. 3, the stamp structure 20 includes a seat 21 and a stamp 24. The seat 21 is made of rubber, and includes a main plate 22 and an end plate 23 vertically extending from one end of the main plate 22. The end plate 23 is integrally formed with the main plate 22. The main plate 22 includes an inner surface 221, and a holding portion 222 is formed at a middle portion of the inner surface 221. The holding portion 222 is engagable in the receiving groove 162 of the main body 10. The holding portion 222 defines a containing groove 223 for receiving the stamp 24. A latching portion 226 is positioned at the other end of the main plate 22, for being locked in the stepped hole 163 of the main body 10 so as to fix the stamp structure 20 to the main body 10. The main plate 22 has a slot 224 longitudinally defined between the holding portion 222 and the end plate 23, for receiving the protrusion 1611 of the main body 10.
The end plate 23 includes a seal portion 231 corresponding to the through hole 120 of the main body 10, and defines a cutout at one end thereof for easily raising the seat 21. The seal 231 extends toward the latching portion 226, and is configured for engaged in the through hole 120 so as to protect the connector in the through hole 120. The seal 231 is made of rubber and is divided into several segments to be easily inserted into the through hole 120.
The stamp 24 includes a surface 241 with letters or design thereon (not shown). The letters or design may be carved by users or formed in mold.
The cover 30 includes a retaining portion 34 formed at one end thereof. The retaining portion 34 defines a retaining groove 341 for engaging with the main plate 22. The cover 30 covers the cavity 15 and the recessed portion 140 when attached to the main body 10.
In assembly of the stamp structure 20 to the main body 10, the stamp 24 is firstly received in the containing groove 223, with the letters or design being exposed. The latching portion 226 is then engaged in the stepped hole 163 of the main body 10. The holding portion 222 is received in the receiving groove 162, and the protrusion 1611 is engaged in the slot 224. The seal 231 is then inserted into the through hole 120 so as to protect the connector behind the through hole 120.
In use, the stamp structure 20 is pushed up via the cutout 232 of the end plate 23, and the latching portion 226 is then disengaged from the stepped hole 163 so that the stamp structure 20 is detached from the main body 10 for allowing user to freely use the stamp 24.
It is to be further understood that even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present embodiments have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structures and functions of the embodiments, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in detail, especially in matters of shape, size, and arrangement of parts within the principles of the invention to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.
