Embodiment

The described locker of one embodiment of the invention can be applicable to have the cover-lifting type electronic product of loam cake and base.Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 illustrate electronic product and the parts explosion thereof with this locker respectively.In Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, electronic product 200 has loam cake 210 and base 230.Wherein, loam cake 210 has clutch shaft bearing 214, and base 230 then has second bearing 232.Aliging with the axle center of second bearing 232 in the axle center of above-mentioned clutch shaft bearing 214, and passes the clutch shaft bearing 214 and second bearing 232 by latch 260, to articulate loam cake 210 and base 230.More particularly, loam cake 210 can further be disassembled and be loam cake pedestal 210a and loam cake capping 210b.It is fixed thereon that loam cake capping 210b can have loam cake magnetic clasp part 212, and above-mentioned clutch shaft bearing 214 then is positioned at the side of loam cake pedestal 210a.

Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 illustrate the structure and the parts explosion of the locker 100 of Fig. 1 respectively.In Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, aforesaid locker 100 comprises handle 110, trip 130 and handle magnetic clasp part 112.Handle 110 is articulated in the loam cake 210 of the electronic product 200 of Fig. 1.One end of trip 130 is articulated in handle 110, and the other end has buckling parts 134, in order to the base 230 of the electronic product 200 that fastens Fig. 1.Please with further reference to Fig. 1, handle magnetic clasp part 112 is positioned at handle 110 in the face of on the surface of loam cake 210, after being fastened on base 230 at buckling parts 134, handle 110 is fixed on the loam cake magnetic clasp part 212 of loam cake 210.

The electronic product with locker that Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 illustrate Fig. 1 is in the schematic diagram that locks with opening.In Fig. 5 and Fig. 6, when locker carries out snap close to electronic product 200, can use handle 110 to move trip 130 earlier, the buckling parts 134 of trip 130 is buckled on the base 230.Afterwards, compress handle 110 again, make the loam cake magnetic clasp part 212 of handle magnetic clasp part 112 absorption loam cakes 210, to finish the action of fastening locking.If when desiring to open electronic product 200, only must carry out according to opposite step.For example pull open handle 110 earlier, make the absorption of the handle magnetic clasp part 112 disengaging loam cake magnetic clasp parts 212 of handle 110, then utilize handle 110 to move trip 130 again, so that trip 130 is separated base 230.

Above-mentioned handle magnetic clasp part 112 can be magnet or has ferromagnetic sheet metal.If handle magnetic clasp part 112 is a magnet, then loam cake magnetic clasp part 212 can be magnet or the ferromagnetic sheet metal of tool; If handle magnetic clasp part 112 is for having ferromagnetic sheet metal, then loam cake magnetic clasp part 212 can be magnet, in order to absorption handle magnetic clasp part 112.

On the other hand, the present invention also can be considered and discloses a kind of cover-lifting type electronic product with locker, and it comprises loam cake, base, buckling device, door handle device and magnetic button device.Loam cake is articulated on the base.Buckling device for example can be the trip 130 of Fig. 3, in order to fasten base.Door handle device for example can be the handle 110 of Fig. 3, in order to move this buckling device, makes buckling device fasten or separate base.Magnetic button device must be for the handle magnetic clasp part 112 of Fig. 3, after being fastened on base at buckling device, door handle device is fixed in covers.

Fig. 7 shows the end view of electronic product 200 when not locking of Fig. 1.In Fig. 7, have flange 138 on the buckling parts 134 of trip 130, base 230 then has the groove of colluding 234 back to the surface of loam cake 210.Carrying out when sealed, flange 138 can be embedded in and collude in the groove 234, so that trip 130 fastens bases 230.

Fig. 8 illustrates the trip schematic diagram according to the locker of another embodiment of the present invention.In this embodiment, the buckling parts 134 of trip 130 can have trip magnetic clasp part 140, and the base of electronic product then has base magnetic clasp part, is positioned at the surface of base back to loam cake.Follow-up sealed in, trip magnetic clasp part 140 fastens to reach trip 130 suction base magnetic clasp part with base.Base magnetic clasp part and trip magnetic clasp part 140 can be respectively two magnet, also or a magnet and one has ferromagnetic sheet metal.

Above-mentioned locker also can comprise an elastic device, in order to when buckling device is separated base, keeps the relative position of buckling device and door handle device, can avoid rocking of buckling device whereby.Particularly, with reference to figure 3 and Fig. 4, above-mentioned elastic device can be torque spring 160, and its two ends connect handle 110 and trip 130 respectively, in order to keep the relative position of handle 110 and trip 130, can avoid rocking of trip 130 whereby.

In order to illustrate in greater detail the function of this torque spring 160, can be further with reference to figure 7.In Fig. 7, when electronic product 200 in locking not or when using, handle 110 can be adsorbed on the loam cake 210 by handle magnetic clasp part 112 (its position can with reference to Fig. 3).At the same time, above-mentioned torque spring 160 will make the edge of the buckling parts 134 of trip 130 away from loam cake 210 and base 230.Thus, when electronic product 200 careless lids following time, the buckling parts 134 and the base 230 of trip 130 can avoid damaging because of touching.

Above-mentioned locker also can comprise one first hinge device, is used to articulate door handle device and buckling device.First hinge device can be the combination of two coaxial channels 114, rotating shaft 136 and the steady pin 170 of Fig. 3.Coaxial channel 114 is positioned on the handle 110.Rotating shaft 136 is positioned on the trip 130, and between two coaxial channels 114, align with the axle center of coaxial channel 114 in the axle center of this rotating shaft 136.Steady pin 170 passes coaxial channel 114 and rotating shaft 136, and trip 130 is articulated on the handle 110.

Refer again to Fig. 3, torque spring 160 more can be arranged between rotating shaft 136 and the coaxial channel 114, and above-mentioned steady pin 170 passes torque spring 160, rotating shaft 136 and coaxial channel 114 in the lump.Thus, can further simplify the assembling flow path of locker 100 and the allocative efficiency on the room for promotion significantly.

In addition, above-mentioned cover-lifting type electronic product with locker has also comprised second hinge device, in order to door handle device is articulated in the cover-lifting type electronic product on cover.Second hinge device for example can be the combination of handle holder shown in Figure 2 116 and loam cake holder 216, and this handle holder 116 is articulated in the loam cake holder 216.In addition, second hinge device also can comprise the support 218 and screw 220 of Fig. 2, and support 218 locks by screw 220 in order to handle holder 116 is suppressed on loam cake holder 216 again.

The electronic product 200 of above-mentioned Fig. 6 also can be considered notebook or flat computer, and wherein loam cake 210 is a display for example, and base 230 for example is a main frame.In view of the locker of present embodiment can lock effectively notebook or flat computer, therefore when notebook or flat computer drop, keyboard on display or the main frame and Trackpad can avoid direct colliding surface and damage.

In addition, the described locker of the embodiment of the invention, also can utilize torque spring to keep the buckling parts of trip and the relative position of display and main frame, avoiding the careless lid down during display as the user, trip and main frame collide mutually and cause damage.

Though the present invention with embodiment openly as above; right its is not in order to qualification the present invention, any insider, without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention; when can being used for a variety of modifications and variations, so protection scope of the present invention is as the criterion when looking claims person of defining.
