Description:
BACK GROUND 
       [0001]    1. Technical Field 
         [0002]    The disclosure generally relates to a housing for portable electronic devices and a method for manufacturing the housing for portable electronic devices. 
         [0003]    2. Description of Related Art 
         [0004]    A housing for portable electronic devices is usually made of plastic material. The housing typically includes a molded battery chamber with an inserted metallic frame. However, during the molding process, the metallic frame cools faster than the plastic substrate, and therefore creates a large amount of internal stress that might deform the battery chamber. 
         [0005]    Therefore, there is room for improvement within the art.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
       [0010]      FIGS. 1 and 2  shows a housing  10  for a portable electronic device  100  such as mobile phone, personal digital assistant (PDA), digital camera, etc. The housing  10  for the portable electronic device  100  includes a base  20 , an embedding assembly  30 , and a bracket  40 . 
         [0011]    The base  20  may be substantially rectangular, and includes a front surface  21 , a back surface  22  opposite to the front surface  21  and a chamber  23  defined therethrough. One end of the front surface  21  is recessed to form an assembling surface  211 . The assembling surface  211  is configured for mounting a battery cover (not shown) to cover the chamber  23 . The back surface  22  is recessed to form an assembling space  221  surrounding the chamber  23 , and thus forms a first end wall  231 , a second end wall  232  opposite to the first end wall  231 , and two opposite side walls  233 . The assembling space  221  is configured for assembling and accommodating the electronic elements (not shown) therein. 
         [0012]    The chamber  23  may be substantially rectangular and defined through the assembling surface  211  of the front surface  21  and the back surface  22 . The chamber  23  is configured for accommodating a battery (not shown) therein. The first end wall  231  includes a substantially rectangular through gap  2311 . The first end wall  231  and the second end wall  231  both include a plurality of convex cylinders  24  protruding therefrom opposite to each other and configured for assembling the embedding assembly  30 . The two side walls  233  each include a substantially rectangular slot  2331  recessed therein opposite to each other. Each slot  2331  receives two latching hooks  2322  spaced protruding from a bottom wall of the slot  2331 . 
         [0013]    The embedding assembly  30  can be made of stainless steel material, and includes a first sheet  31  and a second sheet  32 . The first sheet  31  and the second sheet  32  are embedded into the corresponding first end wall  231  and the second end wall  232  respectively. The first sheet  31  defines a gap portion  311  therethrough corresponding to the gap  2311  of the first end wall  231 . Each of the first sheet  31  and the second sheet  32  includes a plurality of through holes  33  defined therethrough corresponding to the convex cylinders  24  of the first end wall  231  and the second end wall  232 . 
         [0014]    Referring to  FIG. 3 , the bracket  40  may be generally rectangular and assembled within the chamber  23  of the base  20 . The bracket  40  includes a base wall  41 , two transverse walls  42 , and two opposite lateral walls  43 . A notch  421  is defined through one of the two transverse walls  42  at the corner of the bracket  40  corresponding to the gap  2311  of the first end wall  231 . The two transverse walls  42  of the bracket  40  are fixed to the first sheet  31  and second sheet  32  respectively. The two longitudinal lateral walls  43  are configured to be assembled and accommodated into the corresponding two slots  2331  of the two side walls  232  of the base  20 . Each of the lateral walls  43  defines two spaced latching grooves  431  corresponding to the two latching hooks  2322  of the two side walls  232 . 
         [0015]    A method for manufacturing the housing  10  for the portable electronic device  100  includes steps as following. 
         [0016]    A metallic sheet is punched, forming the first sheet  31 , the second sheet  32 , and the bracket  40 . One or more plastic materials for the base  20  is selected from a group consisting of polyethylene (PE), polyamide (PA), polycarbonate (PC) composition, or acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS). 
         [0017]    The first sheet  31  and the second sheet  32  are inserted into an injection mold, and injected with molten plastic materials to form the base  20  integrally with the first sheet  31  and the second sheet  32 . The convex cylinders  24  are formed on the first end wall  231  and the second end wall  232  of the base  20  passing through and fixing into the corresponding through holes  33  of the first sheet  31  and the second sheet  32  respectively. Thus, the first sheet  31  and the second sheet  32  are embedded into and are fixed to the corresponding first end wall  231  and the second end wall  232  of the base  20  respectively. 
         [0018]    The bracket  40  is assembled into the chamber  23  of the base  20  with the longitudinal lateral walls  43  accommodated within the two slots  2331  and the latching hooks  2332  latching into the latching grooves  431 , for strengthening the bracket  40 . The transverse walls  42  of the bracket  40  are welded to the first sheet  31  and the second sheet  32 . 
         [0019]    It is to be understood, however, that even through numerous characteristics and advantages have been set forth in the foregoing description of embodiments, together with details of the structure 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 sections within the principles of the disclosure to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms, in which the appended claims are expressed.
