Embodiment
Fig. 1 is for using a kind of folding electronic device schematic diagram of embodiment of the invention magnet controlled clip module.Fig. 2 is the magnet controlled clip module schematic diagram of the embodiment of the invention.Below please refer to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, in the present embodiment folding electronic device 50 is the example explanation with the notebook computer, but also can be other folding electronic devices, and as personal digital assistant or mobile phone etc., the present invention does not impose any restrictions this.
Folding electronic device 50 comprises a first housing 52 and is pivotally arranged on a second housing 54 of the first housing 52.When the first housing 52 and the second housing 54 were in closure state, for the fixing relative position between the first housing 52 and the second housing 54, folding electronic device 50 more comprised a magnet controlled clip module 100.
Magnet controlled clip module 100 comprises one first holding section 110, one second holding section 120, a control circuit 130, a sensing element 140 and a magnetic element 150.First holding section 110 can comprise a grab, and it is arranged at the first housing 52, and has sense magnetic.Second holding section 120 can comprise a hole clipping, and it is arranged at the second housing 54, is suitable for fastening with first holding section 110.The first above-mentioned holding section 110 and the example of second holding section 120 are found in TaiWan, China bulletin patent M270634 number, but the invention is not restricted to this.
Control circuit 130 is arranged within the folding electronic device 50.Sensing element 140 is arranged within the first housing 52 or the second housing 54, and is coupled to control circuit 130, notifies control circuit 130 first housings 52 and the second housing 54 just being closure state in order to a trigger signals to be provided.Magnetic element 150 is arranged within the folding electronic device 50, and be coupled to control circuit 130, and can be controlled circuit 130 and control and determine whether first holding section 110 is applied magnetic force to drive first holding section 110 and second holding section 120 fastens.
In the present embodiment, control circuit 130 comprises switching device 132, controller 134 and power supply unit 136.Switching device 132 is coupled to magnetic element 150.Controller 134 is coupled to switching device 132 and sensing element 140.Power supply unit 136 is coupled to switching device 132 and controller 134, and whether controller 134 control switching element 132 supply power to magnetic element 150 from power supply unit 136.
In the present embodiment, magnetic element 150 is an electromagnet, but not permanent magnet.In addition, after first holding section 110 was applied magnetic force one Preset Time, control circuit 130 is promptly controlled magnetic element 150 made it no longer apply magnetic force to first holding section 110 at magnetic element 150.In addition, magnet controlled clip module 100 has more a relieving mechanism 160, and it is arranged at the first housing 52, in order to remove engaging between first holding section 110 and second holding section 120.The example of above-mentioned relieving mechanism 160 is found in TaiWan, China bulletin patent M270634 number, but the invention is not restricted to this.
As user during at closed folding electronic device 50, sensing element 140 is sensed the relative closed action of the first housing 52 and the second housing 54 and is sent a trigger signals to control circuit 130.When control circuit 130 was received this trigger signals, 150 pairs first holding sections 110 of control magnetic element applied magnetic force, and make first holding section 110 and 120 engagings of second holding section, and the first housing 52 and the second housing 54 are fixed in closure state.More detailed, when controller 134 was received the trigger signals of sensing element 140, control switching element 132 made power supply unit 136 supply power to magnetic element 150 and makes magnetic element 150 produce magnetic, and made first holding section 110 and 120 engagings of second holding section.
Applying magnetic force in 150 pairs first holding sections 110 of magnetic element makes first holding section 110 after 120 engagings of second holding section, control circuit 130 is promptly controlled magnetic element 150 makes it not apply magnetic force to first holding section 110, so the user need not resist magnetic force when opening folding electronic device 50, and can save electric power.When user's desire is opened folding electronic device 50, remove engaging between first holding section 110 and second holding section 120 as long as use relieving mechanism 160, therefore do not had magnetic force the time and put on first holding section 110, the user need not to resist magnetic force can open folding electronic device 50 easily.
In sum, the present invention uses electromagnet because of magnetic element, can after folding electronic device closure, promptly stop to apply magnetic force in first holding section, be not for routinely first holding section being applied magnetic force, therefore when opening the folding electronic device, need not to resist the magnetic force of magnetic element, and more can open this folding electronic device with less strength easily.
The above, it only is preferred embodiment of the present invention, be not that the present invention is done any pro forma restriction, though the present invention discloses as above with preferred embodiment, yet be not in order to limit the present invention, any those skilled in the art, in not breaking away from the technical solution of the present invention scope, when the technology contents that can utilize above-mentioned announcement is made a little change or is modified to the equivalent embodiment of equivalent variations, in every case be the content that does not break away from technical solution of the present invention, according to technical spirit of the present invention to any simple modification that above embodiment did, equivalent variations and modification all still belong in the scope of technical solution of the present invention.
