Title: Hanging structure of hi-fi set of electronic whiteboard

Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     1. Field of the Invention 
     The present invention generally relates to a hanging structure of a hi-fi set of an electronic whiteboard, more particularly to a hanging structure that makes the hi-fi set be hanged on the two sides of the electronic whiteboard or a wall surface. 
     2. Description of the Prior Art 
     With the advance of digital technologies, a digital presentation device gradually replaces traditional projection devices. Such digital presentation device is an electronic whiteboard in the present market. Everything shown on the electronic whiteboard can be presented by computer, and the whiteboard is rewriteable, hence it is able to replace a single projector and even a general black/white board in classroom. 
     For a business aspect of electronic whiteboard technology, the electronic whiteboard is connected with computer, projector or hi-fi set via some special interfaces. It is not only an output role for computer, but also an input media. The writable area of the electronic whiteboard can be a presentation area. An added hi-fi set may increase multiple functions as outputting sound, so that an interactive electronic whiteboard is provided. 
     With reference to  FIG. 1A , which illustrates a schematic exploded view of a traditional electronic whiteboard combined with a hi-fi set, wherein a trapezoid iron piece  11  and a rectangle structure  12  with a sunken space  121  are fixed to an electronic whiteboard  2 , the trapezoid iron piece  11  is fastened to the rectangle structure  12  via a plurality of bolts  41  and nuts  42 , the bottom of the sunken space  121  has three droplet-type holes  1211 , thus three fixing members  31  with three scrobicular rings  311  on the hi-fi set  3  penetrate through the three droplet-type holes  1211 , and the scrobicular rings  311  of the fixing members  31  downwardly snap at the bottoms of the droplet-type holes  1211 , so that the hi-fi set  3  is hanged on the two sides of the electronic whiteboard  2  via the rectangle structure  12 , please refer to  FIG. 1B . 
     With references to  FIG. 2A  and  FIG. 2B , the sunken space  121  of the rectangle structure  12  can face to a wall surface  5 , then the rectangle structure  12  can be fastened to the wall surface  5  by means of screwing bolts  41  in the wall surface  5 , then the fixing members  31  with scrobicular rings  311  of the hi-fi set  3  can go through the droplet-type holes  1211 , and the scrobicular rings  311  of the fixing members  31  downwardly snap at the bottoms of the droplet-type holes  1211 , so that the hi-fi set  3  is hanged on the wall surface  5  via the rectangle structure  12 . 
     The assembled structures of the connecting components of above electronic whiteboard  2  and hi-fi set  3  are complicate, hence the inconveniences may happen while installing and dismantling. Further, the smaller portion of each droplet-type hole  1211  shall be laid out downwardly in order to make the hi-fi set  3  be hanged on the rectangle structure  12 , and the shape of the droplet-type hole  1211  is designed for the heavier hi-fi set  3 . Unfortunately the whole structure is complicate and must be two members, it causes higher cost. 
     Hence, to develop a single hanging structure for the hi-fi set of the electronic whiteboard that makes the hi-fi set be hanged on the electronic whiteboard or the wall surface and the hanging structure being applied to different hi-fi sets are the most important issues for the skilled persons in the art. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     The main objective of the present invention is to provide a hanging structure of a hi-fi set of an electronic whiteboard, which is a simple connecting structure in order to easily hang the hi-fi set on the two sides of the electronic whiteboard or an independent wall surface. 
     The second objective of the present invention is to provide the hanging structure of the hi-fi set of the electronic whiteboard, which is applied to different types of hi-fi sets and tremendously decrease the difficulties of installment and dismantling in order to lower the cost. 
     To reach above objectives, one side of the hanging structure is a locking area that has a plurality of locking holes in order to fix the hanging structure on the two sides of the electronic whiteboard, another side of the hanging structure is a snapping area, the thickness of the snapping area is thinner than the thickness of the locking area in order to form a space between the locking area and the snapping area, the space is to combine with the hi-fi set, the snapping area having a plurality of hanging holes, the hi-fi set has a plurality of hooking members, each hooking member is through the hanging hole of the snapping area and downwardly snaps at the snapping area, the space faces to the wall surface so as to fasten the hanging structure on the wall surface, the hi-fi set is thus snapped at the snapping area of the hanging structure, so the hi-fi to set is hanged on the wall surface. 
     Other and further features, advantages, and benefits of the invention will become apparent in the following description taken in conjunction with the following drawings.
