For above-mentioned feature and advantage of the present invention can be become apparent, preferred embodiment cited below particularly, and conjunction with figs. is described in detail below.
Description of drawings
Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 are respectively a kind of diagrammatic cross-section and schematic appearance of height adjustable extended base according to an embodiment of the invention.
Fig. 3 for the height adjustable extended base shown in Fig. 1 after the trip of its lever is sticked in the locating slot of other positions, make the diagrammatic cross-section of its Level Change.
But Fig. 4 is the schematic appearance at a plurality of adjustment hop counts corresponding to differing heights of the other mark of the groove of body.
Embodiment
Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 are respectively according to the diagrammatic cross-section of a kind of height adjustable extended base of one embodiment of the invention and schematic appearance.Please also refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2, the extended base 100 of adjustable height of the present invention mainly comprises a body 110, a hook arrangement 120, one first flexible member (not shown), a lever 130 and one second flexible member 140.Body 110 is provided with a connector (not shown), so, the user can combine the connector of computer peripheral devices such as mouse, printer, external connected hand disk, network interface unit or scanner with connector on the body 110 so that above-mentioned computer peripheral device therewith extended base 100 electrically connect for a long time.This body 110 is provided with a groove 112, and has a curved surfaces 110a bottom it, makes hook arrangement 120 configurable on this curved surfaces 110a.
Hook arrangement 120 is asymmetrical domes, and it comprises one first end 122 and connected one second end 124.First end 122 of hook arrangement 120 is to be articulated on the body 110, and its second end 124 has one first locating slot 124a, one second locating slot 124b and one the 3rd locating slot 124c, these three locating slots are to be positioned on the different level heights, make whole extended base 100 be adjusted to three kinds of different height according to the different demand of user.In addition, can form a curved surfaces 120a between first end 122 and second end 124, this curved surfaces 120a can contact with a loading end (not shown).Moreover, in this embodiment, be that second end 124 in hook arrangement 120 is provided with three locating slots that are positioned at differentiated levels, make whole extended base 100 can tune to three different height, yet, the locating slot more than three also can be set in second end 124 of hook arrangement 120, make extended base 100 can tune to how different height, therefore, the present invention does not impose any restrictions for the number of locating slot.
First flexible member is first end 122 that is hubbed at hook arrangement 120, one end of this first flexible member is to be fixed on the body 110, and the other end is to be fixed on the hook arrangement 120, second end, 122 normalities that make hook arrangement 120 promptly move along the clockwise direction shown in Fig. 1 away from this body 110.The articulated section 136 that this lever 130 has one first rod member 132, one second rod member 134 and is connected in the two, this first rod member 132 has the adjustment driving lever 132a that comes out in the groove 112 by body 110, and second rod member 134 has a trip 134a who outwards protrudes, in the first locating slot 124a, the second locating slot 124b or the 3rd locating slot 124c that are sticked in hook arrangement 120, this lever 130 is to be articulated on the body 110 through articulated section 136.In addition, second flexible member 140 is the articulated sections 136 that are arranged at lever 130, the one end is to be fixed on the body 110, and the other end is to be fixed on the lever 130, make second rod member, 134 normalities of lever 130 be contacted with second end 122 of hook arrangement 120, and its trip 134a can be sticked in wherein in the locating slot.
Please refer to Fig. 1, when trip 134a is sticked in the first locating slot 124a, has one first height between body 110 and the loading end, please refer to Fig. 2, when the user stirs this adjustment driving lever 132a forward, lever 130 can be that clockwise rotation is done in the axle center with articulated section 136, and makes trip 134a break away from the first locating slot 124a, at this moment, hook arrangement 120 can be the axle center with its first end 122, and move along the clockwise direction shown in Fig. 1, trip 134a is sticked among the 3rd locating slot 124c, as shown in Figure 3, at this moment, height between body 110 and the loading end has increased, and so, promptly reaches the purpose of the height that changes extended base 100.
When if desire is returned to the pairing height of the first locating slot 124a with extended base 100, only need stir this again and adjust driving lever 132a, make trip 134a break away from the 3rd locating slot 124c, and second end 124 of hook arrangement 120 is dialled back toward the direction of bodies 110 in manual mode, or push whole machine body 110 downwards, trip 134a is sticked among the first locating slot 124a, can be returned to original height.According to above-mentioned start principle, the user can stir this voluntarily and adjust driving lever 132, trip 134a is sticked in the different locating slots, to adjust the height of extended base 100 according to different demands.
In addition, on first end 122 of hook arrangement 120 damper can be set additionally, so, when trip 134a takes off when colluding, second end 124 of hook arrangement 120 can descend lentamente, to reach the effect that is similar to hydraulic pressure.
Moreover, please refer to Fig. 4, but, understand present height state to make things convenient for the user at the other marks of groove 112 a plurality of adjustment hop count one A, B, the C of body 110 corresponding to differing heights.
In sum, height adjustable extended base of the present invention is to articulate a hook-shaped structure and a lever in body, have a plurality of locating slots that are positioned at differentiated levels in this hook-shaped structure, one end of this lever is provided with one and adjusts driving lever, and the other end has a trip, to be sticked in wherein in the locating slot.When the user stirs this adjustment driving lever, trip promptly breaks away from locating slot originally, and enter in other locating slots, so, can reach the purpose of the height that changes extended base, and then change the angle of inclination of notebook computer, the comfort level when promoting user's Operational Note type computer with respect to desktop.In addition, owing to be articulated in the body place in hook-shaped structure and be provided with a damper, therefore, when trip takes off when colluding, hook arrangement can descend lentamente, to reach the effect that is similar to hydraulic pressure.
Though the present invention discloses as above with preferred embodiment; right its is not in order to limit the present invention; have in the technical field under any and know the knowledgeable usually; without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention; when can doing a little change and retouching, so protection scope of the present invention is when with being as the criterion that claim was defined.
