详细描述
概览
各种不同的设备可在物理上附连到移动计算设备以提供各种功能。例如,设备可被构造成为计算设备的至少一显示设备提供覆盖件以保护它免受损坏。其他设备也可在物理上附连到移动计算设备,如用于向计算设备提供输入的输入设备(例如,具有跟踪垫的键盘)。此外,这些设备的功能可被组合,诸如提供盖子和输入设备的组合。
描述了一种用于可旋转组件附连的铰链机构。在至少一些实现中,铰链机构允许支撑组件可调节地附连到装置,诸如计算设备。例如,铰链机构可被用来将支架可旋转地附连到移动计算设备。支架可经由铰链机构旋转到各个位置以提供对于计算设备的不同定向的支持。例如,支架可被定位以支持处于键入定向的计算设备,使得可经由相关联的输入设备提供输入。作为另一示例,支架可被定向以允许诸如在纵向查看定向下查看计算设备和/或与计算设备交互。
在至少一些实施例中,铰链机制使用预设的铰链位置,使得支架能够被放置在不同的预设位置。此外,示例铰链机构包括与支架和计算设备的邻接边缘之间的缝相吻合的旋转中心。因此,在处于闭合位置时,支架可符合计算设备的轮廓,并且缝在支架处于打开时可被维持。
在以下讨论中,首先描述可采用本文描述的技术的示例环境。此处讨论的各实施例不限于示例环境,并且示例环境不限于此处所讨论的各实施例。接下来,讨论了根据一个或多个实施例的示例设备定向。再后,描述根据一个或多个实施例的示例支架。接下来,讨论了根据一个或多个实施例的用于支架附连的示例铰链。最后,讨论了可实现此处所描述的各技术的示例系统和设备。此外,虽然此处描述了输入设备,但不包括输入功能的其他设备也可被构想,如覆盖件。
示例环境
图1是示例实现中的可用于采用本文描述的技术的环境100的图示。所示环境100包括经由可弯曲铰链106物理地且通信地耦合到输入设备104的计算设备102的示例。计算设备102可以按各种方式来配置。例如,计算设备102可被配置用于移动使用,诸如移动电话、所示平板计算机等。由此,计算设备102的范围可以从具有大量存储器和处理器资源的全资源设备到具有有限存储器和/或处理资源的低资源设备。计算设备102还可与使得计算设备102执行一个或多个操作的软件相关。下文参考图35讨论了计算设备102的示例实现。
例如,计算设备102被示为包括输入/输出模块108。输入/输出模块108表示与处理计算设备102的输入以及呈现计算设备102的输出相关的功能。输入/输出模块108可处理各种不同的输入,诸如涉及与输入设备104的键相对应的功能的输入、涉及与显示设备110所显示的虚拟键盘的键相对应的、标识姿势并导致与通过输入设备104和/或显示设备110的触摸屏功能可识别的姿势相对应的操作被执行的功能的输入等等。由此,输入/输出模块108可通过识别并利用包括键压、姿势等在内的各种类型的输入之间的区分来支持各种不同的输入技术。
在所示的示例中,输入设备104被构造成具有输入部分,该输入部分包括具有QWERTY键排列的键盘和跟踪垫,但也构想了其他键排列。此外,还构想了其他非常规配置,如游戏控制器、模仿乐器的配置,等等。由此,输入设备104以及输入设备104所包含的键可采用各种不同的配置来支持各种不同的功能。
如先前所描述的,在该示例中,输入设备104通过使用可弯曲铰链106物理地且通信地耦合到计算设备102。可弯曲铰链106是可弯曲的,因为该铰链所支持的旋转移动是通过形成该铰链的材料的弯曲(例如,折弯)来实现的,这与如销所支持的机械旋转相对(虽然也构想了该实施例)。此外,该可弯曲旋转可被构造成支持一个或多个方向上的(例如,在该图中为垂直地)移动,而限制其他方向上的移动,诸如输入设备104相对于计算设备102的横向移动。这可用于支持输入设备104相对于计算设备102的一致对齐,诸如以将用于改变电源状态、应用状态等的传感器对齐。
可弯曲铰链106例如可使用一层或多层结构形成并包括被形成为可弯曲迹线的导体,以将输入设备104通信地耦合到计算设备102并反之亦然。该通信例如可用于将键压的结果传达至计算设备102、从计算设备接收功率、执行认证、向计算设备102提供补充功率等等。可按多种方式配置可弯曲铰链106,其进一步的讨论可参考以下附图找到。
图2描绘更详细地示出了可弯曲铰链106的图1的输入设备104的示例实现200。在该示例中,示出了构造成提供输入设备104与计算设备102之间的通信和物理连接的输入设备的连接部分202。所示出的连接部分202具有配置成被容纳在计算设备102的外壳中的通道中的高度和横截面,但这一安排也可反转而不背离其精神和范围。
连接部分202通过使用可弯曲铰链106可弯曲地连接到输入设备104的包括各个键的部分。因而,在连接部分202物理上连接到计算设备时,连接部分202与可弯曲铰链106的组合支持输入设备104相对于计算设备102的移动,这类似于书脊。
在这一示例中,连接部分202被示为包括磁耦合设备204、206,机械耦合凸起208、210,以及多个通信触点212。磁耦合设备204、206被配置成通过使用一个或多个磁体来磁耦合到计算设备102的互补磁耦合设备。以此方式,可通过使用磁吸引力将输入设备104物理地紧固到计算设备102。
连接部分202还包括形成输入设备104与计算设备102之间的机械物理连接的机械耦合凸起208、210。通信触点212被配置成接触计算设备102的相应通信触点以如所示出的形成这些设备之间的通信耦合。
示例设备定向
通过可弯曲铰链106的旋转移动,可以支持输入设备104相对于计算设备102的各种不同定向。例如,旋转移动可由可弯曲铰链106支持,使得输入设备104可抵靠计算设备102的显示设备110并从而担当覆盖件,如在图3的示例定向300中所示。因而,输入设备104可用来保护计算设备102的显示设备110免于损伤。
如在图4的示例定向400中所示,可支持键入安排。在该定向中2,输入设备104靠一表面平放,并且计算设备102诸如例如通过使用被布置在计算设备102的后表面的支架402被布置在准许查看显示设备110的角度。
在图5的示例定向500中,输入设备104还可被旋转以靠计算设备102的背部放置,例如靠计算设备102的与计算设备102上的显示设备110相对地布置的后壳。在这一示例中,通过连接部分202对计算设备102的定向,使得可弯曲铰链106“环绕”连接部分202以将输入设备104放置在计算设备102的背部。
这一环绕使得计算设备102的背部的一部分保持暴露。这可被用于各种功能,如即使在示例定向500中在计算设备的背部的很大部分被输入设备104覆盖也准许使用位于计算设备102的背部的相机502。虽然以上描述了输入设备104在任何一个时刻覆盖计算设备102的单个侧的配置,但也构想了其他配置。
在图6的示例定向600中,输入设备104被示为包括构造成覆盖计算设备的背部的部分602。这一部分602还使用可弯曲铰链604连接到连接部分202。
图6的示例定向还示出了键入安排,其中输入设备104靠一表面平放且计算设备102被布置在一角度以准许查看显示设备110。在该示例中,这通过使用布置在计算设备102的背面以触点部分602的支架402来得到支持。
图7描绘示例定向700,其中包括部分602的输入设备104被用来覆盖计算设备102的前侧(例如,显示设备110)和后侧(例如,外壳的与显示设备相对的一侧)。在一个或多个实现中,电连接器和其他连接器也可沿计算设备102和/或输入设备104的各侧布置,例如以在关闭时提供辅助电源。
自然地,各种其他定向也被支持。例如,计算设备102和输入设备104可以采取使得这两者都靠一表面平放的安排,如图1所示。还构想了其他实例,如三脚安排、会议安排、演示安排,等等。
支架
所描述的支架可被用于允许计算设备102的各种不同定向。例如,考虑以下根据各实施例的支架的各实现。
图8解说了定向300,并且包括处于闭合位置的支架402。在闭合状态下,支架402形成计算设备102的后表面802的一部分,使得支架402符合计算设备102的表面轮廓。例如,当支架402处于闭合状态时,支架402集成到计算设备102中并且不突出后表面802所形成的平面。
图9解说了支架402可旋转离开计算设备102的后表面802到位置900。例如,支架402可经由铰链机构沿缝902旋转地附连到计算设备102。这一铰链机构的示例在以下详述。
在至少一些实现中,位置900对应于支架402的一个预设位置。例如,当用户对支架402施加远离后表面802的压力时,支架402可咬合进位置900。如以下详述的,用来将支架402附连到计算设备102的铰链机构可采用弹簧压力以及止动设置来为支架402提供预设的打开位置。在这一示例中,位置900与计算设备102的后表面和支架402之间的角度904相关联。例如,角度904可以是在20度(20°)到30度(30°)的范围。然而,可使用任何适当范围的角度。
当支架402处于位置900时,计算设备102可旋转离开输入设备104并且由支架402支撑,如图4的定向400所示。因此,位置900可使得显示设备110能够被观看,并且使得能够经由输入设备104向计算设备102提供输入。
图10解说了支架402可旋转离开计算设备102的后表面802到位置1000。例如,支架402可进一步旋转超过位置900到位置1000。
在至少一些实现中,位置1000对应于支架402的一个预设位置。例如,当用户对支架402施加远离后表面802的压力时,支架402可咬合进位置1000。在这一示例中,位置1000与计算设备102的后表面和支架402之间的角度1002相关联。例如,角度1002可以是在65度(65°)到75度(75°)的范围。然而,可使用任何适当范围的角度。此外,在旋转到位置1000期间,缝902可被维持(例如,缝的宽度)。
当支架402处于位置1000时,计算设备102可被侧向旋转(例如,旋转成纵向查看位置)并且经由支架402支撑。例如,考虑图11中解说的定向1100。
图11解说了处于定向1100的计算设备102的后视图,其中示出计算设备102被旋转成纵向查看位置,诸如与图1中解说的定向成90度(90°)。此外,支架402被定位在位置1000处,使得计算设备102向后斜倚并由支架402支撑在表面1102上。虽然此处未解说,但是将计算设备102放置在位置1100处能够致使显示设备110的查看定向被旋转成纵向视图。
在图11中,计算设备102被解说为不具有输入设备104。因此,在至少一些实施例中,输入设备104可与计算设备102分开,使得计算设备102具有独立于输入设备104的功能。例如,可弯曲铰链106可使用磁性附连机构,该机构经由磁力将输入设备104保持到计算设备102。因此,用户可握住计算设备102和输入设备104,并且可通过克服它们之间的磁吸力来将两者拉开。
当与输入设备104分开时,计算设备102可提供各种功能。例如,用户可经由计算设备102查看内容,诸如电影和/或流媒体内容。此外,用户可与显示设备的触摸屏功能交互。因此,将支架402放置在位置1000处使得用户能够将计算设备放置于纵向定向,并且在这一定向下查看计算设备和/或计算设备交互。
如图11中进一步解说的,计算设备102包括后表面802和前表面1106之间的斜边缘1104。斜边缘1104是呈角度的,使得后表面802的宽度窄于前表面1106的宽度。支架402集成到后表面802中,并且具有与后表面802基本相同的宽度。因此,支架402具有比前表面1106窄的宽度。
因此,当计算设备被定位于定向1100,并且支架402处于位置1000时,计算设备102向后远离前表面1106倾斜并且依靠在支架402的边角1108上。边角1108可采用某种形式的缓冲材料来减少边角1108在表面1102上的滑动,并且减少震动在表面1102和计算设备102之间的传递。
图12解说了根据一个或多个实施例的支架402的内表面1200的示图。在这一示例中,在计算设备102的轮廓的上下文中来解说支架402。
内表面1200包括表面接触1202a和1202b,它们用作在支架402处于打开位置时的表面接触点。表面接触1202a和1202b可使用各种类型的防滑材料来形成,并且可被放置在内表面1200中的凹口内。例如,表面接触1202a、1202b可由弹性材料来形成,并且可被形成为基本吻合的形状使得表面接触能够经由弹性压力被保持在后表面1200中的凹口内。另外地或替代地,表面接触1202a、1202b可经由合适的粘合剂粘连到内表面1200。
表面接触1202a、1202b被放置在支架402的底部边缘上使得当支架402打开并靠在表面上时,表面接触1202a、1202b用作为支架402和表面之间的绝缘物。例如,表面接触1202a、1202b可减少震动在支架402和相邻表面之间的传递。此外,表面接触1202a、1202b可减少支架402在表面上的滑动。例如,表面接触1202a、1202b可由防止各种不同表面上的滑动的贴胶材料形成。因此,当计算设备102由支架402支撑时(例如,处于以上讨论的定向400时),表面接触1202a、1202b可帮助稳定计算设备102并减少可能由于支架402在表面上的震动导致的噪声。
内表面1200上还包括稳定板1204a和稳定板1204b,它们被沿着内表面1200的下沿放置并且由受磁场所吸引的材料(例如铁磁体)形成。当支架402处于闭合位置时,稳定板1204a、1204b被沿计算设备102的相邻边缘放置的磁体吸引。因此,处于闭合位置时,磁体散发到稳定板1204a、1204b上的磁力可帮助将支架402的下沿保持贴住计算设备102。
内表面1200进一步包括外沿铰链座1206a、1206b,它们用作为被用来将支架402附连到计算设备102的铰链机构的安装点。下面讨论了铰链机构的示例。还包括了中心铰链匙1208,其工作为对于用在支架402和计算设备102之间的中心铰链的可滑动附连。
减震器1210a和减震器1210b被固定(例如使用适当的粘合剂)到内表面1200,并且用来抑制支架402的震动。例如,减震器1210a、1210b可由吸收和/或驱散支架402的震动的材料形成。这类材料的示例包括聚氨酯泡沫、橡胶、氯丁橡胶、硅等等。因此,减震器1210a、1210b可减少由支架402的震动引起的噪声,诸如当支架402正被打开和关闭时。
用于组件附连的铰链
根据各实施例,各种不同的铰链机构可被用于附连各种组件。以下讨论一些示例铰链机构和铰链布置。
图13解说计算设备102和支架402的分解后视图1300。包括在后视图1300中的是外围铰链1302a和1302b,它们可被用于将支架402附连到计算设备102。外围铰链1302a、1302b被配置成安装在计算设备102的内部,诸如经由适当的附连方法和/或设备。
如以上参照图12讨论的,支架402可经由外围铰链座1206a、1206b附连到外围铰链1302a、1302b的转轴部分。因此,附连到外围铰链1302a、1302b使得支架402能够相对于计算设备102绕着轴在各个位置间旋转。
进一步解说的是中心铰链1304,其也被配置成安装在计算设备102的内部,诸如经由适当的附连方法和/或设备。支架402的中心铰链匙1208可与中心铰链1304啮合。
外围铰链1302a、1302b和中心铰链1304被安装在计算设备102中,使得当支架402在铰链上旋转到闭合位置时,铰链不被看见,并且支架402形成与计算设备102的机架的平滑轮廓。例如,参见参照图8所解说和讨论的闭合位置。
后视图1300中还解说了表面接触1202a、1202b。如以上所讨论的,表面接触1202a、1202b可在支架402处于打开位置并且靠在表面上时稳定支架402和计算设备102。在至少一些实施例中,表面接触1202a、1202b被放置在支架402的内表面中的凹槽中,使得表面接触1202a、1202b在支架402处于闭合位置时从外部看不见。
为了帮助用户将支架402从闭合位置打开,在计算设备102的边缘中形成凹口1306。例如,凹口1306可使得用户能够将手指的一小部分插到闭合的支架402后方,并且施加压力以将支架402旋转到打开位置。另外地或替代地,凹口可被形成在支架402的边缘中来帮助打开支架402。
图14解说根据一个或多个实施例的示例铰链1400的各组件。例如,铰链1400可表示以上讨论的外围铰链1302a、1302b的实现。然而,这并不旨在是限制性的,并且铰链1400可被用作为用于各种不同组件和附连场合的铰链机构。此外,铰链1400及其各个组件可使用任何适当的材料来形成,诸如金属、塑料、聚合物、合金等等。
铰链1400的组件包括铰链架1402,其中可放置铰链1400的各个其它组件。例如,铰链架1402可被安装到设备(例如计算设备102)并且工作为对于铰链1400的其它组件的支撑结构。
此外还包括铰链环1404,其可被旋转地和/或移动地放置在铰链架1402内。在至少一些实施例中,支架(例如支架402)可被附连到铰链环1404。铰链环1404在铰链架1402内的移动可使得附连的支架能够被放置到相对于附连设备的各个位置。
与铰链环1404操作地相关联的是铰链环随动件1406和铰链环弹簧1408,它们可相对于铰链环1404放置以对铰链环1404施加压力。如以下详述的,来自铰链环弹簧1408和铰链环随动件1406的压力可使得铰链环1404(并因此使得附连的支架)能够维持相对于附连设备的预设位置。
此外还包括环支撑1410,其可被移动地放置在铰链架1402内。在至少一些实施例中,环支撑1410提供对于铰链环1404的结构支撑。例如,当铰链环1404被绕轴旋转打开到特定位置时,环支撑1410可稳定铰链环1404,并因此稳定附连组件,例如支架。以下更详细地讨论经由环支撑提供的对铰链环1404的稳定。
与环支撑1410操作地相关联的是环支撑随动件1412和环支撑弹簧1414,它们可相对于环支撑1410放置以对环支撑1410施加压力。如以下详述的,来自环支撑弹簧1414和环支撑随动件1412的压力可使得环支撑1410和铰链环1404能够维持相对于附连设备的预设位置。
铰链1400包括铰链帽1416,其可被附连到铰链架1402以将铰链1400的其它组件固定在铰链架1402内。
图15示出根据一个或多个实施例的铰链环1404的截面图。铰链环1404包括铰链环座1500,各组件可被安装到该铰链环座1500。例如,支架402可被附连到该铰链环座1500。
各种附连技术可被用来将各组件附连到该铰链环座1500。例如,铰链座1500可被施加螺纹以接受螺丝钉、螺栓、或其它螺纹紧固件。例如,参照支架402,螺纹紧固件可被用来将外围铰链座1206a、1206b中的一个附连到铰链环座1500。可替代地或附加地使用其它类型的附连技术。
例如,在至少一些实施例中,磁力可被用来将外围铰链座保持到铰链环座1500。例如,外围铰链座和环座1500可包括磁性材料,例如磁体、铁磁体材料等等。因此,在这类实施例中,当外围铰链座与环座1500对准时,磁力可以可移除地将外围铰链座粘合到环座1500。
在一些实施例中,可使用磁体将支架402附连到铰链组装件(例如,铰链1400),使得支架402可从相关联的设备上拆卸下来。这可使得设备(例如,计算设备102)能够被以各种形式定制,诸如通过将支架402替换为具有不同颜色、不同图形、不同材料等等的不同支架。
铰链环1404进一步包括环凹口1502a、1502b、以及1502c。在至少一些实现中,环凹口1502a、1502b、以及1502c对应于铰链环1404的预设位置。例如,当铰链环在铰链1400内旋转时,来自铰链环弹簧1408的压力可致使铰链环随动件1406绊住环凹口1502a、1502b、以及1502c中的相应的凹口。例如,环凹口1502a、1502b、以及1502c可对应于支架402的各预设位置。虽然铰链环1404被解说为包括三个环凹口,但是可以理解,根据所保护的各实施例,各实施例可包括任意适当数目个环凹口。以下呈现铰链环1404的进一步示例特征。
图16解说根据一个或多个实施例的环支撑1410的截面图。环支撑1410进一步包括支撑凹口1600a、1600b、以及1600c。在至少一些实现中,支撑凹口1600a、1600b、以及1600c对应于环支撑1410的各预设位置。例如,当环支撑1410在铰链1400内旋转时,来自环支撑弹簧1414的压力可致使环支撑随动件1412抓住支撑凹口1600a、1600b、以及1600c中的相应的凹口。例如,支撑凹口1600a、1600b、以及1600c可对应于支架402的各预设位置。
虽然环支撑1410被解说为包括三个支撑凹口,但是可以理解,根据所保护的各实施例,各实施例可包括任意适当数目个支撑凹口。以下呈现环支撑1410的进一步示例特征。
图17在1700处总体地解说计算设备102的部分截面图。视图1700包括铰链1400的截面图,其支架402处于闭合位置。
如所解说的,支架402可使用螺丝钉1702附连到该铰链环座1500。然而,根据所保护的实施例,可采用各种各样的附连技术,附连技术的示例已在上文中讨论。
在视图1700中进一步解说了铰链环随动件1406被放置在铰链环1404的环凹口1502c中。来自铰链环随动件1406的抵住环凹口1502c的压力将铰链1400(并因此将支架402)保持在闭合位置。用户可通过对支架402施加足以克服铰链环随动件1406朝环凹口1502c施加的静摩擦的压力来打开支架402。
图18解说了诸如参照图17所解说的处于闭合状态的铰链1400的截面图1800。为了便于查看,铰链1400被解说为与附连的设备和支架分开。
被解说为视图1800的一部分的是铰链架1402、铰链环1404以及环支撑1410。进一步解说的是铰链环弹簧1408向铰链环随动件1406施加压力,铰链环随动件1406进而向环凹口1502c处的铰链环1404施加压力。如以上所讨论的,环凹口1502c上的压力使铰链1400保持在闭合位置,并因此将附连组件(例如支架402)保持在闭合位置。
图19解说了处于打开位置的铰链1400的截面图1900。例如,视图1900可对应于支架402相对于计算设备102的打开位置。为了便于查看,铰链1400被解说为支架402附连但与计算设备102分开。
前进到视图1900,铰链环随动件1406已从铰链环1404的环凹口1502c处解啮合,并与环凹口1502b啮合。例如,用户可对支架402施加远离计算设备102的压力以使得支架402变换到第一打开位置。因此,铰链环随动件1406与环凹口1502b的啮合可对应于铰链1400(并因此支架402)的第一打开位置。铰链环弹簧1408向铰链环随动件1406施加的压力将铰链环随动件保持在环凹口1502b,并因此将支架402保持在第一打开位置。
在至少一些实施例中,第一打开位置可对应于关于支架402和计算设备102的角度1902。例如,角度1902可对应于从40度到50度(例如45度)的角度。
图20解说了诸如以上参照图19所讨论的处于第一打开位置的铰链1400的截面图2000。为了便于查看,铰链1400在视图2000中被解说为与相关联的设备和支架分开。
视图2000解说了在第一打开位置,铰链环1404被旋转到打开位置。然而,环支撑1410维持在铰链架1402内的闭合位置。例如,在铰链1400的第一打开位置,环支撑随动件1412维持与环支撑1410的支撑凹口1600c的啮合。
图21解说了诸如以上参照图19和20所讨论的处于第一打开位置的铰链1400的顶视图2100。为了便于查看,铰链1400在视图2100中被解说为与相关联的设备和支架分开。此外,铰链架1402经由虚线来解说。
视图2100解说了在铰链1400的第一打开位置,铰链环随动件1406与铰链环1404的环凹口1502b啮合。进一步解说了环支撑随动件1412与环支撑1410的支撑凹口1600c啮合。
图22解说了处于第二打开位置的铰链1400的截面图2200。例如,视图2200可对应于支架402相对于计算设备102的第二打开位置。为了便于查看,铰链1400被解说为支架402附连但与计算设备102分开。
前进到视图2200,铰链环随动件1406已从铰链环1404的环凹口1502b处解啮合,并与环凹口1502a啮合。例如,用户可对支架402施加压力以使得支架402变换到第二打开位置。因此,铰链环随动件1406与环凹口1502a的啮合可对应于铰链1400(并因此支架402)的第二打开位置。铰链环弹簧1408向铰链环随动件1406施加的压力将铰链环随动件保持在环凹口1502a,并因此将支架402保持在第二打开位置。
在至少一些实施例中,第二打开位置可对应于关于支架402和计算设备102的角度2202。例如,角度2202可对应于从85度到95度(例如90度)的角度。
图23解说了诸如以上参照图22所讨论的处于第二打开位置的铰链1400的截面图2300。为了便于查看,铰链1400在视图2300中被解说为与相关联的设备和支架分开。
视图2300解说了如以上所讨论的,在第二打开位置,铰链环1404被旋转到第二打开位置。类似于第一打开位置,环支撑1410维持在铰链架1402内的闭合位置。例如,在铰链1400的第二打开位置,环支撑随动件1412维持与环支撑1410的支撑凹口1600c的啮合。
图24解说了诸如以上参照图22和23所讨论的处于第二打开位置的铰链1400的顶视图2400。为了便于查看,铰链1400在视图2400中被解说为与相关联的设备和支架分开。此外,铰链架1402经由虚线来解说。
视图2400解说了在铰链1400的第二打开位置,铰链环随动件1406与铰链环1404的环凹口1502a啮合。进一步解说了环支撑随动件1412与环支撑1410的支撑凹口1600c啮合。因此,在第二打开位置,环支撑1410维持在铰链架1402内的闭合位置。
图25解说了处于第三打开位置的铰链1400的截面图2500。例如,视图2500可对应于支架402相对于计算设备102的第三打开位置。为了便于查看,铰链1400被解说为支架402附连但与计算设备102分开。前进到视图2500,铰链环随动件1406已从铰链环1404的环凹口1502a处解啮合,以使得支架402能够被定位在第三打开位置。
在至少一些实施例中,第三打开位置可对应于关于支架402和计算设备102的角度2502。例如,角度2502可对应于从130度到140度(例如135度)的角度。
图26解说了诸如以上参照图25所讨论的处于第三打开位置的铰链1400的截面图2600。为了便于查看,铰链1400在视图2600中被解说为与相关联的设备和支架分开。
视图2600解说了如以上所讨论的,在第三打开位置,铰链环1404被旋转。进一步旋转到第三打开位置,环支撑1410被在铰链架1402内旋转,使得环支撑随动件1412与支撑凹口1600c解啮合,并与支撑凹口1600b啮合。例如,当铰链环1404从第二打开位置旋转到第三打开位置时,铰链环1404上的抓持机构可啮合环支撑1410并且致使环支撑1410在铰链架1402内旋转到第三打开位置。以下参照图31和32解说示例抓持机构。
图27解说了诸如以上参照图25和26所讨论的处于第三打开位置的铰链1400的顶视图2700。为了便于查看,铰链1400在视图2700中被解说为与相关联的设备和支架分开。此外,铰链架1402经由虚线来解说。
视图2700解说了在变换到第三打开位置期间,铰链环1404抓住环支撑1410并致使环支撑1410在铰链架1402内旋转到打开位置。结果,环支撑随动件1412与支撑凹口1600c解啮合,并与支撑凹口1600b啮合。在第三打开位置,环支撑1410用作为铰链架1404的稳定结构。因此,附连组件(例如支架402)可被稳定在第三打开位置。
图28解说了处于第四打开位置的铰链1400的截面图2800。例如,视图2800可对应于支架402相对于计算设备102的第四打开位置。为了便于查看,在视图2800中铰链1400被解说为支架402附连但与计算设备102分开。前进到视图2800,铰链环1404被旋转以使得支架402能够被放置在第四打开位置。如以下进一步讨论的,铰链环1404旋转到第四打开位置致使环支撑1410在铰链架1402内旋转到铰链1400的第四打开位置。
在至少一些实施例中,第四打开位置可对应于关于支架402和计算设备102的角度2802。例如,角度2802可以是180度。例如,在第四打开位置,支架402可被放置为抵住计算设备102的后表面。
图29解说了诸如以上参照图28所讨论的处于第四打开位置的铰链1400的截面图2900。为了便于查看,铰链1400在视图2900中被解说为与相关联的设备和支架分开。
视图2900解说了如以上所讨论的,在第四打开位置,铰链环1404被旋转到第四打开位置。进一步旋转到第四打开位置,环支撑1410被在铰链架1402内旋转,使得环支撑随动件1412与支撑凹口1600b解啮合,并与支撑凹口1600a啮合。例如,当铰链环1404从第三打开位置旋转到第四打开位置时,铰链环1404上啮合环支撑1410的抓持机构致使环支撑1410在铰链架1402内旋转到第四打开位置。以下参照图31和32解说示例抓持机构。
图30解说了诸如以上参照图28和29所讨论的处于第四打开位置的铰链1400的顶视图3000。为了便于查看,铰链1400在视图3000中被解说为与相关联的设备和支架分开。此外,铰链架1402经由虚线来解说。
视图3000解说了在变换到第四打开位置期间,铰链环1404上的抓持机构拉住环支撑1410并致使环支撑1410在铰链架1402内旋转到第四打开位置。结果,环支撑随动件1412与支撑凹口1600b解啮合,并与支撑凹口1600a啮合。在第四打开位置,环支撑1410用作为铰链架1404的稳定结构。因此,附连组件(例如支架402)可被稳定在第四打开位置。
图31解说了铰链环1400和环支撑1410的后视图3100。为了便于查看,铰链环1404和环支撑1410被解说为与铰链1400的其它组件分开。在至少一些实施例中,视图3100表示铰链环1404和环支撑1410在铰链1400处于打开位置(例如以上讨论的打开位置一或打开位置二中的一个)时的位置。如以上所讨论的,当铰链1400处于闭合位置、打开位置一、或打开位置二时,环支撑随动件1412与支撑凹口1600c啮合,如视图3100中所解说的。
在视图3100中,铰链环1404包括支撑抓钩3102,其用作为用于在铰链环1404被旋转到特定位置时啮合环支撑1410的抓持机构。支撑抓钩3102被可滑动地放置在环支撑的支撑槽3104中。在特定位置,铰链环1404可在支撑槽3104内滑动而不引起环支撑1410的移动,例如在铰链1400的闭合位置和打开位置二之间的移动。
图32解说了铰链环1400和环支撑1410的后视图3200。为了便于查看,铰链环1404和环支撑1410被解说为与铰链1400的其它组件分开。在至少一些实施例中,视图3200表示铰链环1404和环支撑1410在铰链1400处于打开位置(例如以上讨论的打开位置三或打开位置四中的一个)时的位置。
在视图3200中,铰链环1404在支撑槽3104内滑动,使得支撑抓钩3102与支撑槽3104中的槽止动3202啮合。如所解说的,槽止动3202比支撑抓钩3102窄,因此支撑抓钩3102在铰链1400的特定打开位置与槽止动3202啮合。当铰链环1404在铰链1400内沿一方向旋转使得支撑抓钩3102与槽止动3202啮合时,该方向上的进一步移动致使环支撑1410在铰链1400内旋转。例如,当用户将安装到铰链环1404(其中支撑抓钩3102与槽止动3202啮合)的支架再次定位时,所导致的铰链环1404的旋转致使环支撑1410旋转。
在这一特定示例中,视图3200表示铰链1400的第四打开位置,如环支撑随动件1412与环支撑1410的支撑凹口1600a的啮合所指示。因此,由支撑抓钩3102向槽止动3202施加的力引起环支撑1410在各个位置之间旋转。
在至少一些实施例中,环支撑1410还可包括更低的抓持机构,使得当铰链环1404(例如,从第四打开位置)向闭合位置旋转时,支撑抓钩3102啮合该更低的抓持机构使得环支撑1410在铰链1400内被对应地朝闭合位置旋转。例如,考虑如下实施例。
图33解说了环支撑1410和铰链环1404的一部分的后视图3300。进一步示出的是返回抓钩3302,其附连到环支撑1410和/或被形成为环支撑1410的一部分。返回抓钩3302向内突出到支撑槽3104中。返回抓钩3302可由各种材料形成,诸如橡胶和/或其它弹性可变形材料。在至少一些实施例中,返回抓钩3302可被形成为环支撑1410的一部分,并因此可由与环支撑1410相同的材料形成。
在至少一些实施例中,当铰链环1404朝打开位置(例如朝以上所讨论的第四打开位置)旋转时,支撑抓钩33102啮合返回抓钩3302。例如,来自支撑抓钩3102的朝向返回抓钩3302的压力可指示返回抓钩3302的轻微形变,使得支撑抓钩3102能够滑动越过返回抓钩3302以啮合槽止动3202。例如,考虑如下解说。
图34解说了环支撑1410和铰链环1404的一部分的后视图3400。在视图3400中,铰链环1404在支撑槽3104内旋转超过返回抓钩3302,使得支撑抓勾3102与槽止动3202啮合。如以上提到的,返回抓钩3302可由弹性材料形成。因此,来自支撑抓钩3102的压力致使返回抓钩3302的弹性形变,使得支撑抓钩3102能够旋转越过返回抓钩3302。例如,视图3400可表示如上所讨论的,环支撑1410和铰链环1402定向在第四打开位置。
如视图3400中所解说的,返回抓钩3302被放置在环支撑1410上使得当支撑抓钩3102与槽3202啮合时,返回抓钩3302的后缘向支撑抓钩3102施加压力。相应地,当铰链环1402向后旋转到闭合位置时,来自支撑抓钩3102的朝向返回抓钩3302的压力致使环支撑1410在铰链1400内向闭合位置旋转。在至少一些实施例中,这可使得环支撑1410能够从完全打开位置(例如,第四打开位置)返回,使得环支撑1410能够在铰链1400的各个位置与环支撑随动件(如以上所讨论的)啮合。
因此,此处所讨论的各实施例提供了一种允许附连组件(例如支架)在多个预设位置之间调节的稳定的铰链机构。可以理解,以上所讨论的示例设备定向、支架位置、铰链位置、铰链止动位置等等仅作为示例的目的来提供。因此,在所保护的实施例的精神和范围内可使用此处未具体提及的各种各样的不同设备定向、支架位置、铰链位置、以及铰链止动位置。例如,用来将支架附连到计算设备的附连机构(例如以上讨论的外围铰链)可包括任意数目和/或配置的适当的止动位置以使得支架能够被打开到各种不同位置以支持计算设备的各种定向。此外,根据所保护的实施例,示例铰链可被附连到任何适当的位置和/或支架和/或计算设备的一部分。
