Description

Portable Electronic Device

technical field

The present invention relates to an electronic device, and more particularly, 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) have frequently appeared in daily life. The types and functions of electronic devices are becoming more and more diverse, and convenience and practicability make these electronic devices more popular, which can be used for different purposes according to the needs of users.

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 rotating components. In this way, the upper body can be unfolded by rotating relative to the lower body through the rotating component, so as to expose the display surface located on the upper body. However, although this type of electronic device can adjust the use angle between the upper body and the lower body according to requirements, it only has a single use mode.

Therefore, there are some methods that the upper body can be turned 360 degrees relative to the lower body from a normal closed state and stacked on the lower surface of the lower body, so as to be used as a tablet computer. In addition, in order to fix the relative positions of the upper body and the lower body in the closed state and the flat state, a plurality of magnets are usually arranged in the upper body and the lower body, so that the upper body can be adsorbed on the lower body in the closed state. The upper surface of the upper body can be adsorbed to the lower surface of the lower body when the upper body is in a flat state. However, the component structure of the above method is relatively complicated and requires more magnets. In addition, in order to achieve sufficient adsorption force, the volume of the magnet will vary with the size of the magnet. If the size of the portable electronic device increases, the price is relatively expensive, so that the volume of the portable electronic device cannot be effectively reduced, and the production cost of the portable electronic device is also increased virtually.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention provides a portable electronic device, which is light and thin in volume and 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 element is arranged in the guide rail to move along the guide rail. The reset piece is arranged on one end of the guide rail close to the upper surface. The second body is pivoted on the first body, and includes a second magnetic element, which is arranged in the second body. The second body is adapted to bear against the upper surface and rotate relative to the first body to bear against the lower surface. When the second body rests on the upper surface, the first magnetic member is attracted by the second magnetic member and bears on the reset member. When the second body rests on the lower surface, the magnetic attraction force between the second magnetic member and the first magnetic member is greater than the restoring force provided by the reset member, so that the second magnetic member moves away from the reset member and moves toward the lower surface.

In the portable electronic device of the present invention, the guide rail and the reset member can be used to make the first magnetic member of the first body move in the guide rail, and the reset member can shorten the initial position of the first magnetic member to the first position of the second body. The distance between the two magnetic parts, so that the first body and the second body only need to be provided with one magnetic part, 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 components used in the portable electronic device, reduce the production cost thereof, and even reduce the volume of the magnetic components, thereby contributing to the slimming of the portable electronic device.

In order to make the above-mentioned features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the following embodiments are given and described in detail with the accompanying drawings as follows.

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 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, and the second body 120 can be detachably pivoted on the The first body 110 is rotated relative to the first body 110 . The present 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 at one end of the guide rail 112 close to the upper surface 118 . Further, the guide rail 112 may include a first end 112 a near the upper surface 118 and a second end 112 b near 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 pivoted to the first body 110 and includes a second magnetic member 122 disposed in the second body 120 . The magnetic properties of the first magnetic element 116 and the second magnetic element 122 are different, that is, the first magnetic element 116 and the second magnetic element 122 attract 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 bear against the upper surface 118 of the first body 110 and rotate relative to the first body 110 to bear against the lower surface 119 of the first body 110 . When the second body 120 rests on the upper surface 118 of the first body 110 as shown in FIG. 1 , the first magnetic member 116 of the first body 110 is attracted by the reset member 114 and the second magnetic member 122 to move toward the upper surface 118 bears 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 attract 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 resist the magnetic attraction force between the first magnetic member 116 and the second magnetic member 122 to lift the second body 120 upward as shown in FIG. The second body 120 is rotated to an appropriate angle relative to the first body 110 , so that the user can 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 there is an adsorption force between the first magnetic member 116 and the metal block 114 , the first magnetic member 116 still bears on 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 restoring force provided by the restoring member 114 , the first magnetic member 116 moves away from the restoring member 114 toward the lower surface 119 . The restoring 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 is supported against the lower surface 119 of the first body 110 , 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 element 116 and the metal block 114 causes the first magnetic element 116 to be attracted by the second magnetic element 122 of the second body 120 and 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 positioned relative to each other due to magnetic attraction, so as 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 disposed in the second body 120 and connected between the display surface 126 and the outer surface 128, and the second magnetic member 122 is disposed In the guide groove 124 , when the portable electronic device 100 is in a closed state or a flat state, the second magnetic member 122 can move along the guide groove 124 .

In this configuration, when the portable electronic device 100 is in the closed state, the first magnetic member 116 and the metal block 114 disposed on the first end 112 a of the guide rail 112 attract each other, so that the first magnetic member 116 bears against the metal block on the upper surface 116 , so that the second magnetic member 120 can be easily attracted to each other, so as 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 bears against the lower surface 119 of the first body 110 . At this time, since the first magnetic member 116 originally bears on the metal block 114 , the first magnetic element 116 is shortened. Therefore, the first magnetic member 116 can still be attracted by the second magnetic member 120 and move in 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 positioned relative to each other due to magnetic attraction, so as to maintain the flat state.

Therefore, the present embodiment utilizes the disposition of the reset member 114 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 be provided with only one magnetic member to achieve the Therefore, the present embodiment can indeed reduce the amount of magnetic components of the portable electronic device 100, reduce the production cost, and even reduce the volume of the magnetic components, which is beneficial to the lightness and thinness of the portable electronic device 100. change.

In addition, the portable electronic device 100 of this embodiment further includes a second elastic member 114b disposed on the second end 112b 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 jointly connected to the first magnetic member 116 . In this configuration, in the initial state of no force, the first magnetic member 116 is positioned in the middle of the guide rail 112 by the elastic force provided by the first elastic member 114a and the second elastic member 114b. Moreover, the magnetic attraction force between the first magnetic member 116 of the first body 110 and the second magnetic member 122 of the second body 120 is greater than the elastic force provided by the first elastic member 114a and the second elastic member 114b.

In this configuration, when the second body 120 is supported on the upper surface 118 of the first body 110 as shown in FIG. 4 , since the first magnetic member 116 is located in the middle of the guide rail 112 , the first magnetic member 116 to the second body at this time The distance of the second magnetic member 122 of 120 is short enough to be attracted by the second magnetic member 122 and to resist the first elastic force generated by the compression of the first elastic member 114a to move in the direction of the upper surface 118, as shown in the figure. 4 bears against the first elastic member 114a. At this time, the upper surface 118 of the first body 110 and the display surface 126 of the second body 120 attract 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 resist the magnetic attraction force between the first magnetic member 116 and the second magnetic member 122 to lift the second body 120 upward as shown in FIG. The second body 120 is rotated to an appropriate angle relative to the first body 110 , so that the user can 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 is reset 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 restoring force provided by the restoring member 114 , the first magnetic member 116 moves away from the restoring member 114 toward the lower surface 119 . The restoring force here refers to the first elastic force generated by the stretching of the first elastic member 114a and the second elastic force generated by the compression of the second elastic member 114b. In other words, when the second body 120 bears against 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 is The distance of the second magnetic member 122 is short enough to be attracted by the second magnetic member 122, and its magnetic attraction force is sufficient to resist the first elastic force and the restoring force provided by the second elastic member 114b, so that the first magnetic member 116 is attracted The attraction of the second magnetic member 122 of the second body 120 moves to 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 positioned relative to each other due to magnetic attraction, so as to maintain the flat state as shown in FIG. 6 .
