Abstract

The utility model relates to a portable electronic device with a hidden keyboard, which comprises a mainframe casing with an opening. A containing space is concavely arranged in the mainframe casing from the opening. A plurality of functional keys are arranged on a keyboard assembly, and are in electrical connection with the portable electronic device. The keyboard assembly can be assembled in the containing space from the opening and can go into the containing space and go out of the containing space via drawing and pulling operation. Thus the upper surface space of the mainframe casing, which is originally used for arranging the keyboard assembly can be emptied out to additionally arrange other functional structural parts.

Description

Portable electron device with hidden type keyboard

The utility model relates to a kind of portable electron device.

Gradually popular along with portable electronic equipment, for example notebook computer, personal digital aid (PDA) PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), portable phone etc. make people make communication, processing transactions, arrangement stroke at any time; Earlier with regard to notebook computer, see also shown in Figure 1, general notebook computer 100 generally includes a screen housing 11 and a host shell 13, described screen housing 11 articulates mutually with host shell 13, and the one side to host shell 13 above screen housing 11 is provided with a liquid crystal display screen 15, and the liquid crystal display screen 15 of relative screen housing 11 is provided with a keyboard components 17 and a touch control component 18 above host shell 13, host shell 13 is arranged to a support panel with respect to the bottom surface 19 of screen housing 11, therefore above the described host shell 13 because of most of area that accounted for by keyboard components 17, and the touch control component 18 of having arranged in pairs or groups, so can't set up other functional control structure parts again, so with regard at present general notebook computer 100, except being provided with keyboard components 17 and touch control component 18 above the host shell 13, and be provided with around it outside a lot of electric connector (figure does not show), the free space that has not had other is for setting up other functional control structures.

In addition, aforementioned personal digital aid (PDA) and portable phone exist identical problem too, though personal digital aid (PDA) and portable phone must be placed in it on supporting surface unlike notebook computer 100 and use, its back side but (with respect to display screen) normally takes for user's hand, so can't set up other functions, and other functions are set up in the back side also be inconvenient to use, therefore existing portable electronic equipment usually is subject to the deficiency in space and can't increases other functions of use.

Therefore the purpose of this utility model provides a kind of space that makes full use of to set up the portable electron device of functional structure.

For achieving the above object, the utility model provides a kind of portable electron device with hidden type keyboard, it comprises that a host shell, is assembled in the keyboard components on the described host shell, be characterized in: described host shell has an opening, is concaved with an accommodation space by described opening in described host shell; Described keyboard components has several buttons and is electrically connected at described portable electron device, and described keyboard components can pass in and out easily by described opening and be assembled in the described accommodation space.

Adopt such scheme of the present utility model, because the host shell of portable electronic equipment inwardly is provided with the keyboard components of an accommodation space with ccontaining described electronic product by wall openings, and described keyboard components can be as drawer pull in described accommodation space, therefore, described host shell can be vacated the upper surface space that originally is used for being provided with described keyboard components, and uses for the function of use structure of controlling of setting up other.

Be elaborated below in conjunction with the portable electron device with hidden type keyboard of accompanying drawing, so that clearlyer understand the purpose of this utility model, characteristics and advantage to a preferred embodiment of the present utility model.
