Embodiment
Fig. 1 is the schematic diagram according to a kind of electronic equipment of one embodiment of the invention.Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 illustrate that respectively the electronic equipment of Fig. 1 is at the schematic diagram of different conditions.Please also refer to Fig. 1 to Fig. 3, in the present embodiment, electronic equipment 100 is for example notebook computer, it has the first housing 110, the second housing 120, support arm 130 and rotating assembly 140, wherein the first housing 110 is for example the display element of notebook computer, and particularly touch-control type display element, it has touch surface S1 respect to one another and back side S2, and user can input manipulation by touch surface S1.
The second housing 120 is for example the main frame of notebook computer.Support arm 130 is connected between the back side S2 and the second housing 120 of the first housing 110.Furthermore, rotating assembly 140 is arranged on support arm 130, so that support arm 130 is connected with the second housing 120 with the first housing 110 respectively by rotating assembly 140, to allow electronic equipment 100 as shown in Fig. 1 to Fig. 3, convert the deployed condition of Fig. 2 or Fig. 3 to from the closed state of Fig. 1 by support arm 130.Moreover the first housing 110 makes its second place P2 that can move to from the primary importance P1 shown in Fig. 2 Fig. 3 when the deployed condition by support arm 130, therefore allow electronic equipment 100 can provide user comparatively friendly and comfortable watch visual angle.Separately, also can allow user adjust the first housing 110 and rest on any position between primary importance P1 and second place P2, to select the suitable visual angle of watching.
In the present embodiment, the first housing 110 has the groove 112 that is positioned at back side S2, and the first end E1 of support arm 130 is articulated in this groove 112.Say further, rotating assembly 140 comprises the first rotating shaft 141, the second rotating shaft 142 and the 3rd rotating shaft 143, wherein the 3rd rotating shaft 143 is connected between the second end E2 and the second housing 120 of support arm 130, to allow support arm 130 rotate along the second axle A2 with respect to the second housing 120 by the 3rd rotating shaft 143.The paired relative both sides that are arranged on above-mentioned groove 112 of base portion 141a of the first rotating shaft 141, and the axial region 141b of the first rotating shaft 141 is articulated between the first end E1 and base portion 141a of support arm 130.Accordingly, the first housing 110 just can rotate along the first axle A1 with respect to support arm 130 by the first rotating shaft 141, and wherein, the first axle A1 of the present embodiment is parallel to the second axle A2.
This that it should be noted that the second rotating shaft 142 is assembled in the first rotating shaft 141 be between axial region 141b, and not along with axial region 141b rotates.Fig. 4 is that the electronic equipment of Fig. 3 is in the local equivalent schematic of the second rotating shaft place.Please also refer to Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, in the present embodiment, the second rotating shaft 142 is coaxially in the first rotating shaft 141 (taking the second axle A2 as axle center each other) and have at least one locating face 142a.In the time that the first housing 110 rotates along the second axle A2 with respect to support arm 130, locating face 142a can be connected on the back side S2 of the first housing 110, and then the use that provides the first housing 110 to support.
In other words, the present embodiment, with the locating face 142a of the second rotating shaft 142, contacts and make to be face between the first housing 110 and the second rotating shaft 142, its can increase the first housing 110 when stressed (, user is by being pressed in touch surface S1 when upper), the support force of support arm 130 to the first housing 110.This measure reduces the moment that above-mentioned pressure causes support arm 130 effectively, so can effectively prevent that the first housing 110 from rocking.
In the present embodiment, one of them of the back side S2 of the second rotating shaft 142 and the first housing 110 has magnetic, and wherein another of the back side S2 of the second rotating shaft 142 and the first housing 110 has magnetic conductivity, thereby cause the back side S2 of the first housing 110 and the locating face 142a of the second rotating shaft 142 firmly to combine.In addition, the second rotating shaft 142 also can have with the back side S2 of the first housing 110 the magnetic coupling of inhaling mutually each other, also can cause the effect of both firm combinations.
As shown in Figure 4, represent the state of the first housing 110 at diverse location with dotted outline, in the present embodiment, the second rotating shaft 142 has multiple locating face 142a, and in second rotating shaft 142 of the present embodiment, any two adjacent locating face 142a are not parallel each other, that is between two adjacent locating face 142a, have the angle of non-zero degree and non-180 degree, thereby the cross section of second rotating shaft 142 of formation the present embodiment is polygonal.Thus, in the time that the first housing 110 rotates with respect to support arm 130 (being shown in Fig. 3), the first housing 110 can be positioned at one of them of these locating faces 142a, thereby allows user can adjust further the suitable visual angle of watching.
Do not limit the collocation form of locating face in the second rotating shaft at this.Fig. 5 is that a kind of electronic equipment of another embodiment of the present invention is in the local equivalent schematic of the second rotating shaft place.Please refer to Fig. 5, different from above-described embodiment, the second rotating shaft 242 only arranges locating face 242a at its second quadrant place, and these locating faces 242a is divided into the quartering by the second quadrant on section, that is the area of each locating face 242a equates.
Fig. 6 is that the electronic equipment of further embodiment of this invention is in the local equivalent schematic of the second rotating shaft place.Please refer to Fig. 6, different from above-described embodiment is, the second rotating shaft 342 has two locating face 342a and three locating face 342b, wherein locating face 342b position is between locating face 342a, and locating face 342a each other area equates, locating face 342b each other area equates, but the area of the area of locating face 342a and locating face 342b unequal.In addition, Fig. 7 is that the electronic equipment of another embodiment of the present invention is in the local equivalent schematic of the second rotating shaft place.Please refer to Fig. 7, the second rotating shaft 442 only has a locating face 442a, can be positioned at rapidly on this locating face 442a in the time that the first housing 110 rotates.Through from the above, artificer can be according to the Environmental Conditions of electronic equipment and condition, and then the locating face of the second rotating shaft is designed, and meets user's the visual angle of watching to allow the first housing have.
In sum, in the above embodiment of the present invention, by being assembled in the second rotating shaft in the first rotating shaft, and when allowing display element pass through the first rotating shaft to rotate with respect to support arm, the mutual butt of the locating face of the second rotating shaft and the back side of display element, between display element and support arm, be and reach to allow the state that face contacts, and then display element support effect is effectively provided, produce the situation of rocking when avoiding user to operate the first housing.
Moreover artificer can carry out different configurations from condition to locating face according to Environmental Conditions, and allow the visual angle of watching of the first housing change with user's hobby, and then make electronic equipment there is more friendly operation interface.
Finally it should be noted that: above each embodiment, only in order to technological scheme of the present invention to be described, is not intended to limit; Although the present invention is had been described in detail with reference to aforementioned each embodiment, those of ordinary skill in the art is to be understood that: its technological scheme that still can record aforementioned each embodiment is modified, or some or all of technical characteristics is wherein equal to replacement; And these amendments or replacement do not make the essence of appropriate technical solution depart from the scope of various embodiments of the present invention technological scheme.
