Abstract
A protective structure includes a covering body, a protective component, a fixing component and a fastening portion. The covering body is for covering the connector. The protective component is connected to the covering body and for plugging into the connector. The fixing component is connected to a side of the covering body and for plugging into an installation hole on a case of the electronic device. The fixing component includes a shaft for pivoting relative to the case so as to drive the covering body to a position where the covering body does not cover the connector when the protective component does not plug into the connector. The fastening portion is installed on the fixing component and is for contacting against the installation hole after the fixing component is plugged into the installation hole so as to prevent the fixing component from separating from the installation hole.
