Embodiment
Please first consult Figure 1A, Figure 1B in the lump, the closure mechanism 10 of one embodiment of the invention can be arranged on a housing C of an electronic installation (being such as notebook computer), the side of its middle shell C is formed with an opening O, and aforementioned closure mechanism 10 mainly comprises a pair fixture 100, body 200 and pair of resilient members 300.As shown in Figure 1B and Fig. 2, aforementioned fixture 100 is fixed on housing C, and the aforementioned body 200 rotatably aforementioned fixture 100 of pivot joint, and correspond to the position of opening O.Whereby, the body 200 of closure mechanism 10 can rotate (as shown in the arrow of Figure 1B) relative to housing C, in order to cover the connector (not shown) of electronic installation inside, to take into account electronic installation slimming and demand attractive in appearance, wherein said connector is such as an Ethernet connector or modem connector.In the present embodiment, aforementioned pair of resilient members 300 is arranged on body 200.
Then see also shown in Figure 1A, Figure 1B, Fig. 2, the body 200 of one embodiment of the invention mainly comprises a plate-like portion 200a, an elastic arm 200b and an axostylus axostyle 200c, wherein plate-like portion 200a can in order to be sheltered a mouthful O, aforementioned flexible arm 200b then connects body 200 and axostylus axostyle 200c, and is roughly formed with an E font structure.In addition, the circular hole of aforementioned axostylus axostyle 200c then on pivot joint fixture 100, can rotate relative to housing C so as to making body 200.Wherein, when the connecting-wire connector of an outside will couple with the connector in electronic installation, user applies an external force pressure body 200 by aforementioned connecting-wire connector, (direction of arrow as shown in Figure 1B) is rotated relative to housing C and in an opening so as to making body 200, now the connector of electronic installation inside can be revealed in opening O place, to facilitate and the combination of outside connecting-wire connector; On the contrary, when the connecting-wire connector of said external departs from opening O, originally the aforementioned external force putting on body 200 discharged, and now body 200 just can return back to a closed condition (state as shown in Figure 1B) relative to housing C along opposite spin.Plate-like portion 200a, the elastic arm 200b of body 200 in the present embodiment and axostylus axostyle 200c are formed in one.
In addition, the aforementioned elastic parts 300 of the present embodiment is also formed in one on the axostylus axostyle 200c of body 200, and is close to aforementioned a pair fixture 100.Wherein aforementioned fixture 100 has an inclined-plane S1 (the first inclined-plane) respectively, and elastic component 300 has an inclined-plane S2 (the second inclined-plane) respectively, and two inclined-plane S1 and S2 are mutually corresponding and abut.When housing C is in this closure state to aforementioned body 200 relatively, the inclined-plane S1 of elastic component 300 opposed fixed member 100 is positioned at a primary importance P1 (as shown in Figure 2).
Then Fig. 3 A is seen also, shown in Fig. 3 B, when aforementioned body 200 is subject to the joint institute externally applied forces effect of external connection line, body 200 can rotate relative to fixture 100 by axostylus axostyle 200c and move to aforementioned opening, now elastic component 300 can move to a second place P2 (as Fig. 3 A along the inclined-plane S1 of fixture 100, shown in Fig. 3 B), and the inclined-plane S1 of fixture 100 can towards the direction, inner side extruding elastic component 300 (direction of arrow as shown in Figure 3A) of body 200, elastic component 300 is made to accumulate an elasticity potential energy (the first elasticity potential energy).Whereby, when aforementioned external force is released, elastic component 300 can act on the inclined-plane S1 (this elastic force F is approximately perpendicular to inclined-plane S1) that an elastic force F is fixed part 100, make elastic component 300 can return back to primary importance P1 (as shown in the arrow of Fig. 3 B) along inclined-plane S1 by aforementioned second place P2, and make body 200 return back to closure state by aforementioned opening, accordingly to realize the automatically closed function of body 200.
Specifically be, aforementioned body 200 is when being subject to External Force Acting and rotated to opening relative to housing C by closure state, the elastic arm 200b of body 200 also can towards the inner side Direction distortion of aforementioned body 200 and accumulation one elasticity potential energy (the second elasticity potential energy), this the second elasticity position, when aforementioned external force is released, also can be ordered about body 200 and automatically return to closure state.Aforementioned flexible arm 200b and the elastic component 300 of the present embodiment have metal or quality of rubber materials.
In addition, the elastic component 300 of the present embodiment is arranged on axostylus axostyle 200c, but elastic component 300 also can be formed at other positions on body 200.In addition, closure mechanism 10 also only can comprise a fixture 100 and an elastic component 300, can reach into aforementioned automatically closed effect whereby equally.
In sum, the present invention mainly provides a kind of closure mechanism, the connector opening on an electronic installation can be arranged at, it forms integrated elastic component by its body, and when the housing of body opposing electronic device is an opening, utilize this elastic component mutually to abut with the fixture be fixed on housing and produce and be out of shape and accumulate an elasticity potential energy, aforementioned body can be ordered about and automatically return to closure state by opening, therefore, it is possible to reach the effect that body closes automatically, and meet simultaneously and save part and the target reduced costs.
Although the present invention discloses as above with aforesaid embodiment, so itself and be not used to limit the present invention.Persons of ordinary skill in the technical field of the present invention, without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, when doing a little change and retouching.Therefore the scope that protection scope of the present invention ought define depending on appended claim is as the criterion.
