Abstract

The utility model discloses a portable electric device with a light coupling switch, which cooperates with the user's habit and works immediately when a clip cover is turned over. The utility model comprises a clip cover pivoted on the main body, which provided with a light coupling switch can rotate relative to the main body. The open state of the clip cover can be sensed through the light coupling switch, which results in the automatic open state of the portable electronic device when the open state of the clip cover is sensed, and conversely, the portable electric device is closed down, which is convenient to use and is suitable to the user habit.

Description

Portable electronic devices with optically-coupled switch

The relevant a kind of portable electronic devices of the utility model, particularly relevant a kind of portable electronic devices with optically-coupled switch.

Flourishing day by day along with science and technology, various portable electronic devices, such as notebook computer (notebookcomputer), personal digital assistant (Personal Digital Assistant; PDA) or mobile phone etc., all become very universal articles for daily use, also more and more be subject to people's attention certainly.

To the electronic product of this class of what, except enough function was provided itself, the convenience of operation was one of most important Consideration, and the facility in order to operate cooperates the operation of * * f official with custom, and yes most convenient only.

In general; portable electronic installation all has one and is articulated in renovating of main body; such as panel (panel), the personal digital assistant of notebook computer; be used for protecting screen renovate or some mobile phones on, be used for lid of avoiding touch of key-press by accident etc., but these products have a common shortcoming; exactly after renovating unlatching; need press power key or switch again and be good for and electronic installation could be opened, such design is quite inconvenient, does not also meet use habit.

In addition, when renovating when covering, portable electronic devices can not closed automatically yet, causes to have the situation of forgetting shutdown sometimes, or it is pressed for time the time, still needs switch is shut, and renovates and portable electronic devices could be closed and placed covering; These 2 concerning the what portable electronic devices will provide the convenience that people use, all be greatest obstruction.

The purpose of this utility model is to address the above problem and a kind of portable electronic devices with optically-coupled switch is provided, but renovating when opening of what portable electronic devices automatically electronic installation is opened, and what renovates when covering, and automatically electronic installation cuts out.

Portable electronic devices with optically-coupled switch of the present utility model is characterized in, which comprises at least: a main body; One renovates, and it articulates the described main body of what; And an optically-coupled switch, the described portable electronic devices of installing what can detect described opening of renovating, when detecting the described unlatching of renovating, then start described portable electronic devices, otherwise, cover when detecting described renovating, then described portable electronic devices can be closed.

Adopt such scheme of the present utility model, portable electronic devices has one and articulates renovating of what main body, can rotate with respect to main body, and the action of opening or covering, and be equiped with an optically-coupled switch on the main body, can respond to the opening of renovating, renovate when opening, electronic installation is opened automatically when sensing, and be available for users to use, otherwise, renovate when covering when sensing, electronic installation cuts out automatically, like this, meet the custom that the user uses, not only easy to use, also save the worry of forgetting shutdown.

Understand the purpose of this utility model, characteristics and advantage for clearer, preferred embodiment of the present utility model is elaborated below in conjunction with accompanying drawing.

Fig. 6 is the synoptic diagram that the utility model is applied to personal digital assistant.

Portable electronic devices with optically-coupled switch of the present utility model, as shown in Figure 1, portable electronic devices is a notebook computer 20 for example, mobile phone 30 (see figure 5)s or personal digital assistant 40 (see figure 6)s, at first, with notebook computer 20 is example, comprise that a basic computer 21 and renovates (just panel 22), panel 22 articulates on the what main body 21, what main body 21 rotations relatively, and be equiped with an optically-coupled switch 10, but optocoupler is run out the opening of 10 induction panels 22 jointly, when sensing panel 22 unlatchings, then trigger making notebook computer 20 make its Auto Power On, and be available for users to use; On the other hand, when sensing panel 22 and cover, notebook computer 20 cuts out automatically.

Because concerning general user, when opening panel 22, when will use notebook computer 20 exactly, so, not needing to press again any button (such as power key or on ﹠ off switch etc.), notebook computer 20 will Auto Power On, uses for the user; And when not wanting to use, then panel 22 is covered, notebook computer 20 can be shut, and like this, more can meet user's use habit and handled easily.

And the position of optically-coupled switch 10 installing can be installed on the edge near the articulated section 23 of panel 22 and main body 21, or (see figure 2) on the edge of opposite side, as long as can allow optically-coupled switch 10 sense the opening of panel 22.And optically-coupled switch 10 comprises an optical coupling unit 11 and an induction part 12, and optical coupling unit 11 is established on the what main body 21, on the induction part 12 installing what panels 22, makes optical coupling unit 11 can sense the opening of panel 22; Certainly, foregoing embodiment, also optical coupling unit 11 and induction part 12 can be installed conversely, that is to say, on the optical coupling unit 11 installing what panels 22, induction part 12 is installed in (not shown) on the main body 21, also has identical effect, equally also can make optical coupling unit 11 can sense the opening of panel 22.

See also Fig. 3 A, the state that covers when panel 22 whats, optical coupling unit 11 is sensed panel 22 by induction part 12 and is still located the state that what covers, so notebook computer 20 can not opened: when surpassing an angle (seeing Fig. 3 B) when relative what main body 21 rotations of panel 22 unlatchings, optical coupling unit 11 will effect have been opened to panel 22, makes notebook computer 20 starts and can normally using and trigger; Otherwise, when panel 22 covers, also can sense the position of induction part 12, and make notebook computer 20 shut down by optical coupling unit 11.

In addition, as shown in Figure 4, because notebook computer more than 20 have trip 221 and draw-in groove 211 in the mode of engaging with panel 22 fixedly on the what main body 21, so can utilize this structure, optical coupling unit 11 is provided with in the what draw-in groove 211, and induction part 12 is provided with on the what trip 221, equally also can sense the opening of panel 22, and make notebook computer 20 Auto Power Ons and shutdown.

On the other hand, the utility model also can be used other portable electronic devices of what, be mobile phone 30 (see figure 5)s or personal digital assistant 40 (see figure 6)s etc. for example, also can reach identical effect, the opening of renovating by induction, and make portable electronic devices open automatically or shut.

The above is only own for preferred embodiment of the present utility model, is not to be used for limiting the utility model; Every person skilled in the art person also can make all equivalence variations and equivalence replacement under prerequisite of the present utility model, they all should be included in the scope of patent protection of the utility model application.
