Detailed description of the invention
Fig. 1 is the schematic diagram of a kind of electronic installation according to one embodiment of the invention.Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 is shown respectively the electronic installation schematic diagram at different conditions of Fig. 1.Please also refer to Fig. 1 to Fig. 3, in the present embodiment, electronic installation 100 is such as 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 such as the display element of notebook computer, and particularly touch display element, it has touch surface S1 relative to each other and back side S2, and user can be undertaken by touch surface S1 inputting and manipulates.
The second housing 120 is such as the main frame of notebook computer.Support arm 130 is connected between the back side S2 of the first housing 110 and the second housing 120.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 the electronic installation 100 can as, shown in Fig. 1 to Fig. 3, converted to the deployed condition of Fig. 2 or Fig. 3 from the closure state of Fig. 1 by support arm 130.Furthermore, the first housing 110 makes it can move the second position P2 to Fig. 3 from the primary importance P1 shown in Fig. 2 when deployed condition by support arm 130, therefore allows electronic installation 100 be provided that the viewing visual angle that user is comparatively friendly and comfortable.Separately, user also can be allowed to adjust any position that the first housing 110 rests between primary importance P1 and second position P2, to select suitable viewing visual angle.
In the present embodiment, the first housing 110 has the groove 112 being 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 includes the first rotating shaft the 141, 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 be rotated along the second axle A2 relative to the second housing 120 by the 3rd rotating shaft 143.The opposite sides being arranged on above-mentioned groove 112 paired for base portion 141a of the first rotating shaft 141, and the axle portion 141b of the first rotating shaft 141 is articulated between the first end E1 and the base portion 141a of support arm 130.Accordingly, the first housing 110 just can be rotated along the first axle A1 relative 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.
It should be noted that between this countershaft portion 141b that the second rotating shaft 142 is assembled in the first rotating shaft 141, and not along with axle portion 141b rotates.Fig. 4 is the electronic installation local equivalents schematic diagram in the second rotating shaft place of Fig. 3.Please also refer to Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, in the present embodiment, the second rotating shaft 142 is coaxial in the first rotating shaft 141 (with the second axle A2 for axle center each other) and have at least one locating surface 142a.When the first housing 110 rotates along the second axle A2 relative to support arm 130, locating surface 142a can be connected on the back side S2 of the first housing 110, and then provides the use of the first housing 110 support.
In other words, the present embodiment is with the locating surface 142a of the second rotating shaft 142, and makes to contact in face between the first housing 110 with the second rotating shaft 142, when it can increase the first housing 110 stress (, when user is pressed against on touch surface S1), the support arm 130 support force to the first housing 110.This measure is effectively reduced the moment that support arm 130 is caused by above-mentioned pressure, rocks so the first housing 110 can be effectively prevented.
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, the locating surface 142a of the back side S2 and the second rotating shaft 142 that thus result in the first housing 110 can be fixedly combined together.It addition, the back side S2 of the second rotating shaft 142 and the first housing 110 also can have magnetic coupling attracting each other, both firm effects combined also can be caused.
As shown in Figure 4, the first housing 110 state at diverse location is represented with dotted outline, in the present embodiment, second rotating shaft 142 has multiple locating surface 142a, and in second rotating shaft 142 of the present embodiment, there is the angle of non-zero degree and not 180 degrees between not parallel each other that is adjacent for locating surface 142a two the locating surface 142a that any two is adjacent, thus the cross section forming second rotating shaft 142 of the present embodiment is polygon.Consequently, it is possible to when the first housing 110 rotates relative to support arm 130 (being shown in Fig. 3), the first housing 110 can be positioned at one of them of these locating surfaces 142a, thus allows user can adjust suitable viewing visual angle further.
It is not limiting as in the second rotating shaft the collocation form of locating surface at this.Fig. 5 is a kind of electronic installation local equivalents schematic diagram in the second rotating shaft place of another embodiment of the present invention.Refer to Fig. 5, unlike the embodiments above, the second rotating shaft 242 only arranges locating surface 242a at its second quadrant place, and the second quadrant is divided into the quartering that is the area equation of each locating surface 242a by these locating surfaces 242a on section.
Fig. 6 is the electronic installation local equivalents schematic diagram in the second rotating shaft place of further embodiment of this invention.Refer to Fig. 6, unlike the embodiments above is, second rotating shaft 342 has two locating surface 342a and three locating surface 342b, wherein locating surface 342b position is between locating surface 342a, and locating surface 342a area equation each other, locating surface 342b area equation each other, but the area of the area of locating surface 342a and locating surface 342b unequal.It addition, Fig. 7 is the electronic installation local equivalents schematic diagram in the second rotating shaft place of another embodiment of the present invention.Refer to Fig. 7, the second rotating shaft 442 only has a locating surface 442a, can quickly locate when the first housing 110 rotates on this locating surface 442a.Through from the foregoing, the locating surface of the second rotating shaft according to the use environment and condition of electronic installation, and then can be designed by designer, meeting the viewing visual angle of user 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 allow display element pass through the first rotating shaft relative to while support arm rotation, the locating surface of the second rotating shaft abuts mutually with the back side of display element, and reach to allow state contact between display element with support arm in face, and then provide display element support effect effectively, the situation that during to avoid the user operation first housing, generation is rocked.
Furthermore, designer according to using environment and condition that locating surface carries out different configurations, and can allow the viewing visual angle of the first housing can change with user hobby, and then makes electronic installation have more friendly operation interface.
Last it is noted that various embodiments above is only in order to illustrate technical scheme, it is not intended to limit;Although the present invention being described in detail with reference to foregoing embodiments, it will be understood by those within the art that: the technical scheme described in foregoing embodiments still can be modified by it, or wherein some or all of technical characteristic is carried out equivalent 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 technical scheme.
