The stylus PN may correspond to the display surface 101, and a user may perform a touch operation on the display surface 101 using the stylus PN. In the present embodiment, the accommodation box 30 is located at the position of the lateral side (lateral side) of the rear case 20, and is located in the X-axis direction, but is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the receiving box 30 may be located at other lateral positions of the rear housing 20, such as the top or bottom lateral side (in the Z-axis) of the rear housing.
Referring to fig. 1-2, the container 30 can be switched between an open position and a closed position. As shown in FIG. 1, the accommodation box 30 is in the closed position, while FIG. 2 shows the accommodation box 30 in the open position. In the open position, the user can conveniently take out the stylus pen PN disposed in the accommodation box 30. Through setting up and holding box 30, can let the user conveniently accomodate, take out touch-control pen PN, so, touch-control pen PN can not need to carry in addition or accomodate in other places, promotes the convenience of using by a wide margin. The structure and operation of the accommodation case 30 for accommodating the stylus pen PN will be described in detail below.
Referring to fig. 3, there is shown an exploded view of the rear case 20, the accommodation case 30, and the stylus pen PN. The accommodation box 30 comprises a base 301, a cover 302, and a pivot 303, wherein the base 301 and the cover 302 are mated with each other, and the pivot 303 connects the two to each other. The base 301 and the cover 302 form an accommodating space SP for accommodating the stylus PN.
The base 301 is fixed to the rear case 20. In detail, the base 301 includes a base body 3011 and fixing portions 3012 and 3013, and the fixing portions 3012 and 3013 are located on two sides of the base body 3011. The base 301 can be fixed to the rear case 20 by a plurality of fasteners W (e.g., screws) passing through the through holes of the fixing portions 3012 and 3013 and being fixed to the front side 201 of the rear case 20 (opposite to the rear side 202 of the rear case 20). In other embodiments, the fastening portions 3012, 3013 may be designed to fasten to the rear side 202 of the rear housing 20. In the embodiment of fig. 3, since the locking member W is disposed on the front side 201 of the housing 20, that is, inside the electronic display device 100, the locking member W and the through holes of the fixing portions 3012 and 3013 are not visible in the overall appearance, so that the electronic display device 100 can maintain the beauty.
The cover plate 302 is connected to and disposed on the base 301. In detail, the cover 302 has a pivot portion 3021 extending toward the center direction (-X axis direction) of the rear housing 20, and the rotating shaft 303 passes through the pivot portion 3021 to a pivot sleeve 3014 of the base 301 along a connecting direction DC (Y axis), so that the cover 302 is movably connected to and pivoted to the base 301, and the cover 302 can move and rotate relative to the base 301. In some embodiments, the shaft 303 may be positioned in the pivot sleeve 3014 by a locking member W. In some embodiments, in the closed position, the long axis of the cover 302 extends along a direction (or third direction) D3 or Z axis, and is different from the connection direction DC along which the rotation shaft 303 extends. In some embodiments, the long axis direction of the cover plate 302 is perpendicular to the connection direction DC.
In addition, the cover 302 can define two segments, i.e. a left segment and a right segment, through the rotating shaft 303 or the pivoting portion 3021: a first section J1 and a second section J2 are respectively located on opposite sides (the first side and the second side) of the rotating shaft 303 or the pivoting portion 3021.
Referring to fig. 4, there is shown a schematic view of the accommodation box 30 in an opened state (corresponding to fig. 2). When a force along the first direction D1 is applied to the second segment J2 of the cover plate 302, the second segment J2 moves to the groove G of the base 301 (or of the base body 3011) in the first direction D1 and rotates along the direction R1, and the first segment J1 on the other side moves to the second direction D2 and rotates along the direction R1, that is, the cover plate 302 rotates around the rotation shaft 303 with the rotation shaft 303 as the center. In this way, the accommodating box 30 can be switched from the closed position (fig. 1) to the open position (fig. 1 and 4), and the accommodating box rotates relative to the rear case 20 and protrudes out of the rear case 20, or the cover plate 302 rotates and protrudes out of the rear case 20, so that the stylus PN disposed in the accommodating space SP is exposed, and the stylus PN can be conveniently taken out.
Similarly, when the user takes out the stylus PN and intends to restore the housing box 30 to the closed position, or uses the pen to put the stylus PN back into the housing box 30 and intends to close the housing box 30, a force is applied to the first section J1 of the cover plate 302, as well as a force in the first direction D1 is applied to the first section J1, so that the cover plate 302 rotates relative to the base 301 and the housing 20 to restore the housing box 30 to the closed position.
It should be noted that, referring to fig. 5, the base 301 has a first engaging structure E1, and the cover has a second engaging structure E2, which are matched with each other. When the accommodation box 30 is located at the open position, the second catching structure E2 is separated from the first catching structure E1. When the accommodating box 30 is switched from the open position to the closed position, the second engaging structure E2 is engaged with the first engaging structure E1, so that the accommodating box 30 is ensured to be in the closed position and is not easy to switch to the open position by itself due to vibration, shaking or other conditions, and the condition of disengagement when the stylus PN is located inside the accommodating box 30 can be avoided.
In the present embodiment, the first engaging structure E1 has a protruding structure, and the second engaging structure E2 has a penetrating structure. In some embodiments, a first catch structure E1 is located on the top side of the base 301 away from the pivot 303, and a second catch structure E2, matching the first catch structure E1, is correspondingly located on the top side of the cover 302 away from the pivot 303. In some embodiments, the cover plate 302 exhibits a C-shaped configuration when viewed from the long axis (or Z-axis) of the cover plate 302.
A protrusion M is formed on the outer surface of the cover plate 302 and located at the second section J2 of the cover plate. The protrusion M can be used as a guide for guiding the user's finger to apply a force to the second section J2, such as the direction D1 shown in FIG. 4, for rotating the cover plate 302.
Fig. 6 to 7 show schematic views of an accommodation box 30' provided to the rear case 20 according to another embodiment of the present invention. The accommodation box 30' of the present embodiment further includes an elastic member ST, as compared with the aforementioned accommodation box 30 (FIG. 3). The other elements are identical or correspond to the embodiment of fig. 3, and the same reference numerals are used.
The aforementioned elastic member ST is disposed in the accommodation space SP of the accommodation box 30', and in some embodiments, the elastic member ST may be a compression spring disposed at the bottom side of the accommodation space SP and abutting against the sidewall of the base 301. As shown in fig. 6, the housing case 30' is in a closed position, and the stylus pen PN is loaded in the housing space SP, and one side of the stylus pen PN abuts against a side wall of the base 301 and the other side presses the elastic member ST.
As shown in fig. 6 to 7, when the accommodating box 30 'is switched from the closed position to the open position, since one side of the stylus PN is no longer limited by the sidewall of the base 301, the elastic element ST at the other side of the stylus PN can release the elastic potential energy to the stylus PN, so that the stylus PN is popped up and moved by the elastic restoring force of the elastic element ST, and at this time, the stylus PN protrudes out of the accommodating box 30', so that the user can conveniently take out the stylus PN.
On the contrary, when the stylus pen PN is to be stored, the stylus pen PN is pushed in the direction of the elastic element ST, so that the elastic element ST is pressed by the stylus pen PN, and then the cover plate 302 of the accommodating box 30 'is rotated, so that the accommodating box 30' returns to the closed position. At this time, the elastic element ST is also compressed to store elastic potential energy, and is released when being opened next time, so that the stylus pen ST can be taken out conveniently.
It should be noted that, referring to fig. 6, a recess RC is formed on the outer surface of the base 301 and is recessed toward the accommodating space SP. When the accommodating box 30' (or the accommodating box 30) is located at the closed position and the stylus PN is disposed in the accommodating space SP, the recessed portion RC abuts against the stylus PN, so that the stylus PN can be limited and stably accommodated in the accommodating space SP.
