Abstract

The invention provides a portable electronic device. The portable electronic device of the invention comprises a first body and a second body. The first body comprises a guide rail, a resetting piece, a first magnetic piece, an upper surface and a lower surface. The guide rail is arranged in the first machine body and connected between the upper surface and the lower surface, and the first magnetic piece is arranged in the guide rail and moves along the guide rail. The reset piece is arranged at one end of the guide rail close to the upper surface. The second machine body comprises a second magnetic piece and is pivoted on the first machine body so as to be supported on the upper surface and rotate relative to the first machine body to be supported on the lower surface. When the second body is supported on the upper surface, the first magnetic part is attracted by the second magnetic part and is supported on the reset part. When the second body is supported on the lower surface, the magnetic attraction force between the second magnetic piece and the first magnetic piece is larger than the reset force provided by the reset piece, so that the second magnetic piece is far away from the reset piece and moves to the lower surface. The invention can reduce the magnetic part consumption of the portable electronic device.

Description

portable electronic device

technical field

The present invention relates to an electronic device, and in particular to a portable electronic device.

Background technique

In recent years, with the development of the technology industry, electronic devices such as notebook computers (NoteBook, NB for short), tablet PCs (tablet PCs) and smart phones (smart phones) and other electronic products have frequently appeared in daily life. The types and functions of electronic devices are becoming more and more diverse. The convenience and practicality make these electronic devices more popular, and they can be used for different purposes according to user needs.

Taking a notebook computer as an example, the electronic device may have an upper and lower body, and the upper and lower bodies are pivotally connected to each other by a rotating component. In this way, the upper body can be unfolded by rotating the rotating component relative to the lower body, so as to expose the display surface on the upper body. However, although such electronic devices can adjust the use angle between the upper body and the lower body according to requirements, they only have a single use mode.

Therefore, some existing practices are to enable the upper body to be turned over 360 degrees relative to the lower body from a generally closed state and stacked on the lower surface of the lower body to be used as a tablet computer. And, in order to fix the relative position of the upper body and the lower body in the closed state and the flat state, usually a plurality of magnets are arranged in the upper body and the lower body, so that the upper body can be adsorbed to the lower body when in the closed state. upper surface, and make the upper body can absorb the lower surface of the lower body when it is in a flat state. However, the component structure of the above method is relatively complicated and needs to use more magnets. In addition, in order to achieve sufficient adsorption force, the volume of the magnet will vary with the The increase in price is also relatively expensive, so that the size of the portable electronic device cannot be effectively reduced, and the production cost of the portable electronic device is virtually increased.

Contents of the invention

The invention provides a portable electronic device, which is light and thin in volume and relatively low in production cost.

The portable electronic device of the present invention includes a first body and a second body. The first body includes a guide rail, a reset part, a first magnetic part, an upper surface and a lower surface opposite to the upper surface. The guide rail is arranged in the first body and connected between the upper surface and the lower surface. The first magnetic part is arranged in the guide rail to move along the guide rail. The reset member is arranged at one end of the guide rail close to the upper surface. The second body is pivotally arranged on the first body, and includes a second magnetic part, which is arranged in the second body. The second body is adapted to lean against the upper surface and rotate relative to the first body to lean against the lower surface. When the second body leans against the upper surface, the first magnetic part is attracted by the second magnetic part and leans against the reset part. When the second body leans against the lower surface, the magnetic attraction force between the second magnetic part and the first magnetic part is greater than the reset force provided by the reset part, so that the second magnetic part moves away from the reset part and moves toward the lower surface.

The portable electronic device of the present invention can utilize the setting of the guide rail and the reset member, so that the first magnetic member of the first body can move in the guide rail, and shorten the initial position of the first magnetic member to the second position of the second body by the reset member. The distance between the two magnetic parts is such that only one magnetic part needs to be installed on the first body and the second body, so that the portable electronic device can achieve the effect that both the first body and the second body can be attracted to each other in the closed state and the flat state . Therefore, the present invention can indeed reduce the amount of magnetic parts used in the portable electronic device, reduce its production cost, and even reduce the volume of the magnetic parts, which contributes to the thinning of the portable electronic device.

In order to make the above-mentioned features and advantages of the present invention more comprehensible, the following specific embodiments are described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In this embodiment, the portable electronic device 100 may include a first body 110 and a second body 120 . The second body 120 is pivotally disposed on the first body 110 to rotate relative to the first body 110 . Specifically, the portable electronic device 100 can be a notebook computer, the first body 110 can be, for example, its system end, and includes an upper surface 118 and a lower surface 119 opposite to each other, and the second body 120 can, for example, display a touch screen for it. device, and may include a display surface 126 and an outer surface 128 facing each other. For example, the first body 110 may include a keyboard module disposed on the upper surface 118 of the first body 110 , while the second body 120 may include a display panel or a touch display panel disposed on the display surface 126 of the second body 120 . Certainly, this embodiment is only used for illustration, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

Specifically, the portable electronic device 100 may include a pivot to pivotally connect the first body 110 and the second body 120, so that the second body 120 is not suitable for turning 360 degrees relative to the first body 110, so that the second The body 120 can rotate relative to the first body 110 between the closed state shown in FIG. 1 and the flat state shown in FIG. 3 . When the portable electronic device 100 is in a closed state, its display surface 126 leans against the upper surface 118 of the first body 110 as shown in FIG. 1 . When the body 110 opposite to the second body 120 is turned over until the portable electronic device 100 is in the flat state as shown in FIG. The display surface 126 of the second body 120 is exposed to facilitate the user to use the portable electronic device 100 as a tablet computer. Of course, this embodiment is only used for illustration. In other embodiments, the second body 120 can also be a tablet computer, and the first body 110 can be an expansion base for it. The second body 120 can be detachably pivoted on The first body 110 can rotate relative thereto. The invention does not limit the types of portable electronic devices.

In detail, as shown in FIG. 1 , the first body 110 may include a guide rail 112 , a reset member 114 , a first magnetic member 116 , an upper surface 118 and a lower surface 119 opposite to the upper surface 118 . The guide rail 112 is disposed in the first body 110 and connected between the upper surface 118 and the lower surface 119 . The first magnetic member 116 is disposed in the guide rail 112 to move along the guide rail 112 . The reset member 114 is disposed on an end of the guide rail 112 close to the upper surface 118 . Further, the guide rail 112 may include a first end 112 a close to the upper surface 118 and a second end 112 b close to the lower surface 119 , and the reset member 114 is disposed on the first end 112 a of the guide rail 112 . The second body 120 is pivotally disposed on the first body 110 and includes a second magnetic member 122 disposed in the second body 120 . The magnetic properties of the first magnetic part 116 and the second magnetic part 122 are different, that is, the first magnetic part 116 and the second magnetic part 122 are attracted to each other.

In this embodiment, the reset member 114 is a metal block, which is disposed on the first end 112 a of the guide rail 112 . The second body 120 is adapted to lean against the upper surface 118 of the first body 110 , and rotate relative to the first body 110 to lean against the lower surface 119 of the first body 110 . When the second body 120 rests against the upper surface 118 of the first body 110 as shown in FIG. 118 rests on the metal block 114 . At this time, the upper surface 118 of the first body 110 and the display surface 126 of the second body 120 are attracted to each other to maintain the closed state as shown in FIG. 1 .

Based on the above, when the user wants to use the portable electronic device 100, he only needs to lift the second body 120 up as shown in FIG. The second body 120 is rotated to an appropriate angle relative to the first body 110 to facilitate the user to use the display of the first body 110 and the keyboard module of the second body 120 at the same time. At this time, due to the adsorption force between the first magnetic piece 116 and the metal block 114 , the first magnetic piece 116 is still leaning against the metal block 114 .

Based on the above, the user can continue to turn the second body 120 relative to the first body 110 to a flat state as shown in FIG. The device 100 is used as a tablet computer. At this time, since the magnetic attraction force between the second magnetic member 122 and the first magnetic member 116 is greater than the resetting force provided by the resetting member 114 , the first magnetic member 116 moves away from the resetting member 114 toward the lower surface 119 . The reset force here refers to the adsorption force between the first magnetic member 116 and the metal block 114 . In other words, when the second body 120 rests on the lower surface 119 of the first body 110, since the magnetic attraction force between the second magnetic member 122 of the second body 120 and the first magnetic member 116 of the first body 110 is greater than The adsorption force between the first magnetic part 116 and the metal block 114 thus causes the first magnetic part 116 to be attracted by the second magnetic part 122 of the second body 120 to move toward the lower surface 119 . At this time, the lower surface 119 of the first body 110 and the outer surface 128 of the second body 120 are attracted to each other by magnetic force so that their relative positions are fixed to maintain the flat state as shown in FIG. 3 .

In addition, in this embodiment, the second body 120 may also include a guide groove 124, which is arranged in the second body 120 and connected between the display surface 126 and the outer surface 128, and the second magnetic member 122 is set In the guide groove 124 , the second magnetic part 122 can move along the guide groove 124 when the portable electronic device 100 is in the closed state or the tablet state.

So configured, when the portable electronic device 100 is in the closed state, since the first magnetic member 116 and the metal block 114 disposed on the first end 112a of the guide rail 112 are attracted to each other, the first magnetic member 116 will bear against the metal block on the upper surface 116, so that the second magnetic part 120 can be easily attracted to each other to fix the relative position between the first body 110 and the second body 120 and maintain the closed state. When the portable electronic device 100 is in the flat state, the second body 120 rests against the lower surface 119 of the first body 110. At this time, since the first magnetic part 116 originally rests on the metal block 114, the first magnetic part 116 is shortened. The distance between the component 116 and the second magnetic component 120 below is such that the first magnetic component 116 can still be attracted by the second magnetic component 120 and move toward the direction of the lower surface 119 . At this time, the lower surface 119 of the first body 110 and the outer surface 128 of the second body 120 are attracted to each other by magnetic force so that their relative positions are fixed to maintain the flat state.

Therefore, in this embodiment, the setting of the reset member 114 is used to shorten the distance between the first magnetic member 116 and the second magnetic member 122, so that the first body 110 and the second body 120 can each only have one magnetic member to achieve The effect of mutual adsorption in the closed state and the flat state, therefore, this embodiment can indeed reduce the amount of magnetic parts used in the portable electronic device 100, reduce its production cost, and even reduce the volume of the magnetic parts, which contributes to the thinness of the portable electronic device 100 change.

FIG. 4 is a schematic partial cross-sectional view of a portable electronic device in a closed state according to another embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 5 is a schematic partial cross-sectional view of the portable electronic device of FIG. 4 in an open state. FIG. 6 is a schematic partial cross-sectional view of the portable electronic device of FIG. 4 in a tablet state. It must be noted here that the portable electronic device 100a shown in FIGS. 4 to 6 is similar to the portable electronic device 100 shown in FIGS. The same or similar components are denoted by reference numerals, and descriptions of the same technical contents are omitted. For the description of the omitted part, reference may be made to the foregoing embodiments, and this embodiment will not be repeated. Please refer to FIG. 4 to FIG. 6 at the same time. The difference between the portable electronic device 100 a of this embodiment and the portable electronic device 100 in FIGS. 1 to 3 will be described below.

In this embodiment, the resetting member 114 includes a first elastic member 114 a, which is disposed on the first end 112 a of the guide rail 112 and connected to the first magnetic member 116 . Moreover, the portable electronic device 100 of this embodiment further includes a second elastic member 114 b disposed on the second end 112 b of the guide rail 112 and connected to the first magnetic member 116 . In other words, the first elastic member 114 a and the second elastic member 114 b are respectively connected to opposite ends 112 a and 112 b of the guide rail 112 , and are connected to the first magnetic member 116 together. With such configuration, in an initial state without force, the first magnetic member 116 is located in the middle of the guide rail 112 under the elastic force provided by the first elastic member 114 a and the second elastic member 114 b. Moreover, the magnetic attraction force between the first magnetic part 116 of the first body 110 and the second magnetic part 122 of the second body 120 is greater than the elastic force provided by the first elastic part 114a and the second elastic part 114b.

So configured, when the second body 120 rests against the upper surface 118 of the first body 110 as shown in FIG. The distance of the second magnetic part 122 of 120 is short enough to be attracted by the second magnetic part 122 and to resist the first elastic force generated by the compression of the first elastic part 114a to move toward the direction of the upper surface 118, as shown in FIG. 4 is shown to rest on the first elastic member 114a. At this moment, the upper surface 118 of the first body 110 and the display surface 126 of the second body 120 are attracted to each other to maintain the closed state as shown in FIG. 4 .

Based on the above, when the user wants to use the portable electronic device 100, he only needs to lift the second body 120 up as shown in FIG. The second body 120 is rotated to an appropriate angle relative to the first body 110 to facilitate the user to use the display of the first body 110 and the keyboard module of the second body 120 at the same time. At this time, since the first magnetic member 116 is no longer attracted by the second magnetic member 122 , the first magnetic member 116 returns to the middle of the guide rail 122 as shown in FIG. 5 .

Based on the above, the user can continue to turn the second body 120 relative to the first body 110 to a flat state as shown in FIG. The device 100 is used as a tablet computer. At this time, since the magnetic attraction force between the second magnetic member 122 and the first magnetic member 116 is greater than the resetting force provided by the resetting member 114 , the first magnetic member 116 moves away from the resetting member 114 toward the lower surface 119 . The restoring force here refers to the first elastic force generated by stretching the first elastic member 114a and the second elastic force generated by compressing the second elastic member 114b. In other words, when the second body 120 rests on the lower surface 119 of the first body 110, since the initial position of the first magnetic member 116 is located in the middle of the guide rail 112, the distance between the first magnetic member 116 and the second body 120 The distance of the second magnetic piece 122 is short enough to be attracted by the second magnetic piece 122, and its magnetic attraction force is enough to resist the first elastic force and the reset force provided by the second elastic piece 114b, thus making the first magnetic piece 116 be subjected to The second magnetic part 122 of the second body 120 is attracted to move toward the lower surface 119 . At this time, the lower surface 119 of the first body 110 and the outer surface 128 of the second body 120 are attracted to each other by magnetic force so that their relative positions are fixed, so as to maintain the flat state as shown in FIG. 6 .

To sum up, the portable electronic device of the present invention utilizes the setting of the guide rail and the reset member, so that the first magnetic member of the first body can move in the guide rail, and the initial position of the first magnetic member is shortened to the second by the reset member. The distance between the second magnetic part of the body, so that the first body and the second body only need to be equipped with one magnetic part, so that the portable electronic device can reach the first body and the second body in the closed state and the tablet state. The effect of adsorption. Therefore, the present invention can indeed reduce the amount of magnetic parts used in the portable electronic device, reduce its production cost, and even reduce the volume of the magnetic parts, which contributes to the thinning of the portable electronic device.

Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than limiting them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that: It is still possible to modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present invention. scope.
