Detailed Description

The embodiment of the application provides a connecting device, and solves the technical problem that in the process of realizing connection or separation of separable electronic equipment in the prior art, operation is complex due to complex structural design.

In order to solve the technical problems, the general idea of the embodiment of the application is as follows:

an electronic device, comprising:

To make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of an embodiment of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present application, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

First, it is stated that the term "and/or" appearing herein is merely one type of associative relationship that describes an associated object, meaning that three types of relationships may exist, e.g., a and/or B may mean: a exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. In addition, the character "/" herein generally indicates that the former and latter related objects are in an "or" relationship.

The first embodiment is as follows:

as shown in fig. 1, an electronic device, which may be a combined/detachable tablet computer, includes:

the first body 10 comprises N first connecting pieces 104, wherein N is an integer greater than or equal to 1;

a second body 20 comprising N second connectors 204 mated with said first connectors 104;

as shown in fig. 2 and 3, the first body 10 and the second body 20 have at least a first relative position and a second relative position; wherein, in fig. 2, the first body 10 and the second body 20 are in the first relative position, and in fig. 3, the first body 10 and the second body 20 are in the second relative position.

The first connecting piece 104 and the second connecting piece 204 are magnetic connecting pieces, and a sufficiently large magnetic attraction force can be generated between the first connecting piece 104 and the second connecting piece 204, so that the first body 10 and the second body 20 are stably located at the first relative position.

As shown in fig. 2, when the first body 10 and the second body 20 are at the first relative position, the first body 10 is connected to the second body 20 by the N first connectors 104 being matched with the N second connectors 204.

As shown in fig. 3, when the first body 10 and the second body 20 are at the second relative position, the first body 10 and the second body 20 are disconnected by the cooperation of the N first connectors 104 and the N second connectors 204, so that the first body 10 and the second body 20 are separated.

In the process of moving the first body 10 and the second body 20 from the first relative position to the second relative position by means of an external force, the first body 10 rotates the first body 10 about the second body second edge 2032 as a rotation axis, so that the first body 10 and the second body first edge 2031 are separated before the first body 10 and the second body second edge 2032 are separated, and/or the second body 20 rotates the second body 20 about the first body second edge 1032 as a rotation axis, so that the second body 20 and the first body first edge 1031 are separated before the second body 20 and the first body second edge 1032 are separated.

Because the electronic equipment can support a user to connect and separate the first body and the second body through simple rotation operation by the aid of the N first connecting pieces and the N second connecting pieces, the technical problem that operation is complex due to complex structural design in the process of realizing connection or separation of separable electronic equipment in the prior art is effectively solved, and the technical effect of conveniently and rapidly connecting or separating the two bodies of the electronic equipment is further realized.

In a specific implementation process, the first body 10 may be a keyboard base of the combined/detachable tablet computer, and the second body 20 may be a tablet computer portion of the combined/detachable tablet computer; or, the first body 10 and the second body 20 are both tablet computers, and the two tablet computers have the first relative position, i.e. the second relative position, through the N first connecting members 104 and the N second connecting members 204.

Further, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, the first body 10 further includes:

a first front side 101;

a first back side 102 approximately parallel to the first front side 101;

a first side surface 103 connecting the first front surface 101 and the first back surface 102, and the N first connectors 104 are disposed on the first side surface 103;

wherein the first edge 1031 of the first body is: the boundary line between the first front surface 101 and the first side surface 103, and the second edge 1032 of the first body are: the boundary between the first back surface 102 and the first side surface 103; the first front surface 101 and the first side surface 103 form a first angle, the first back surface 102 and the first side surface 103 form a second angle, the first angle is greater than 90 degrees, and the second angle is smaller than 90 degrees, that is: the first side surface is a bevel.

Further, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, the second body 20 further includes:

a second front face 201;

a second back side 202 approximately parallel to the second front side 201;

a second side surface 203 connecting the second front surface 201 and the second back surface 202, wherein the N second connection members 204 are disposed on the second side surface 203;

wherein the first edge 2031 of the second body is: the second edge 2032 of the second body is a boundary line between the second front surface 201 and the second side surface 203: the boundary between the second back side 202 and the second side 203; the second front face 201 and the second side face 203 are at the first angle, and the second back face 202 and the second side face 203 are at the second angle, that is: the second ramp is a ramp.

As shown in fig. 2, when the first body 10 and the second body 20 are located at the first relative position, the first side surface 103 and the second side surface 203 are connected in a facing manner, the first front surface 101 and the second front surface 201 form a third angle, the third angle is greater than or equal to 90 degrees, when the first body 10 provides a keyboard service for a user and the second body 20 provides a display service for the user, the electronic device simulates a working form of a notebook computer through the first body 10 and the second body 20, so that a habit of the user in using the notebook computer in daily life is satisfied, and the user can perform a quick input by using the keyboard service provided by the first body 10.

As shown in fig. 3, when the first body 10 and the second body 20 are in the second relative position, the first front surface 101 and the second front surface 201 form a fourth angle, the fourth angle is approximately equal to 180 degrees (i.e., the first front surface 101 and the second front surface 201 are approximately on a plane), and a distance between the second edge 1032 of the first body and the second edge 2032 of the second body is less than or equal to a first preset distance, where the first preset distance may be: between 1 cm and 3 cm.

Further, the first connector 104 has a first magnetic property, and the second connector 204 has a second magnetic property opposite to the first magnetic property; when the first body 10 and the second body 20 are at the first relative position, the first body 10 and the second body 20 can be connected by the magnetic attraction between the N first connectors 104 and the N second connectors 204.

In a specific implementation process, the first connecting element 104 and the second connecting element 204 have the following two conditions:

first, the first connecting element 104 may also be: a magnet, the second connecting member 204 may be: an iron block or sheet.

Secondly, as shown in fig. 2 or fig. 3, the first connecting element 104 specifically includes:

a first hole 1041 formed in the first side surface 103;

an iron slide bar 1042 arranged in the first hole 1041;

an elastic element 1043 fixed at the bottom of the first hole 1041 and connected to the iron sliding bar 1042.

Meanwhile, the second connecting member 204 specifically includes:

a second hole 2041 matched with the first hole 1041 is formed in the second side surface 203;

a magnet 2042 disposed in the second hole 2041;

as shown in fig. 4, when the first body 10 and the second body 20 are located at the first relative position, the first hole 1041 is directly opposite to the second hole 2041, and the iron sliding rod 1042 enters the second hole 2041 under the attraction of the magnet 2042 to fix the second body 20, so that the first body 10 and the second body 20 are stably connected.

As can be seen from the above, when the first body 10 and the second body 20 are located at the first relative position, the first connecting element 104 and the second connecting element 204 utilize magnetic attraction, the magnet hidden in the second connecting element 204 can attract the iron sliding rod 1042 of the first connecting element 104 to the second hole 2041 of the second connecting element 204, so as to connect the first body 10 and the second body 20, and the first connecting element 104 and the second connecting element 204 play a role in connection and simultaneously support the second body 20 to be located at the first relative position stably, thereby achieving the technical effects of simple connection process and firm connection.

Further, the first body 10 and the second body 20 can be freely switched between the first relative position and the second relative position under the action of external force.

A1, in the process of moving the first body 10 and the second body 20 from the first relative position to the second relative position by means of external force, the second body 20 rotates the second body 20 in a "clockwise" direction with the second edge 1032 of the first body as a rotation axis, such that the distance between the first edge 2031 of the second body and the first edge 1031 of the first body is greater than a second preset distance, and/or, an angle between the first front surface 101 and the second front surface 201 is greater than a first preset angle (the first preset angle is greater than the third angle, and is smaller than the fourth angle), at this time, the magnet 2042 releases the attraction force to the iron sliding bar 1042, and the elastic element 1043 pulls the iron sliding rod 1042 back into the first hole 1041, and the first body 10 is separated from the second body 20. After the first front surface 101 and the second front surface 201 form the first preset angle, the external force may continue to act on the first body 10 and the second body 20 to make the first front surface 101 and the second front surface 201 form an angle of approximately 180 degrees, and at this time, the first body 10 and the second body 20 enter the second relative position.

B1, in the process of moving the first body 10 and the second body 20 from the second relative position to the first relative position by means of external force, the second body 20 rotates the second body 20 along the counterclockwise direction with the second edge 1032 of the first body as a rotation axis, so that the first edge 2031 of the second body is close to the first edge 1031 of the first body. When the distance between the first edge 2031 of the second body and the first edge 1031 of the first body is less than or equal to the second preset distance, and/or when the first front surface 101 and the second front surface 201 are less than or equal to the first preset angle, the attraction force of the magnet 2042 to the iron slide bar 1042 is greater than the pulling force of the elastic unit 1043 to the iron slide bar 1042, the iron slide bar 1042 enters the second hole under the action of the attraction force of the magnet 2042, and the first body 10 is connected to the second body 20. Further, the first side surface 103 and the second side surface 203 are continuously close to each other and closely attached to each other. At this time, the first body 10 and the second body 20 are in the first relative position.

In a specific implementation process, as shown in fig. 4, the first body 10 and the second body 20 may be separated from each other into two separate electronic devices.

As shown in fig. 5, M third connectors 105 having the first magnetic property are disposed on the first front surface 101 of the first body 10, and M fourth connectors 205 having the second magnetic property are disposed on the second front surface 201 of the second body 20, where M is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

As shown in fig. 4, the first body 10 and the second body 20 further have a third relative position, and when the first body 10 and the second body 20 are in the third relative position, the first front surface 101 and the second front surface 201 are in facing connection by a magnetic attraction force between the M third connectors 105 and the M fourth connectors 205.

In a specific implementation process, the third connecting member 105 may be: an iron block or an iron sheet fixed in the first body 10 proximate to the first front surface, the fourth connecting member 205 may be: a magnet.
