  The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a locking device, a rotary dock and an electronic device provided with the locking device, and to be removed when the electronic device inserted in the rotary dock is removed. It is to solve the problem that the rotating dock rotates following an electronic device.

Means for Solving the Problems and Effects of the Invention

  According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a lock device used for locking a rotary dock that realizes deployment and closing by a rotary method, wherein the lock device includes a lock member, and the lock device includes: Including a control member, one end of the control member is used for connection to the main body, the lock member is installed at the other end, the lock member can move between a stopper position and a retracted position, the lock member, The locking dock is prevented from rotating to the closing position at the stopper position so that the rotating dock is locked in the deployed state of the rotating dock, so that the rotating dock is deployed. It is characterized by being held by.

  Based on the above method, the present invention has the following remarkable progress. The locking member of the locking device of the present invention locks the rotary dock only in the deployed state of the rotary dock and can hold the rotary dock in the deployed state, and is therefore inserted into the rotary dock. When the electronic device is removed, the rotating dock does not rotate following the electronic device to be removed, reducing the burden on both inserted connector parts and preventing the connector parts from being damaged. Become.

  In the present invention, the locking device is not particularly limited. Any locking device that locks the rotary dock in the deployed state and holds it in the deployed state can be used.

  For example, when one simple control member has an L shape having a first arm and a second arm, the first arm is pivotally connected to the main body along the front-rear direction, and the second arm rotates along the left-right direction. Extending to the rear of the bottom plate of the door of the movable dock, the second arm becomes a lock member, and after deployment of the pivot dock, the first arm is rotated to rotate the lock member to the stopper position, The rotary dock is locked, and the first arm is rotated to restore the second arm to the retracted position. The rotary dock is not blocked again and can be closed smoothly.

  In one embodiment of the locking device of the present invention, a lock projection is provided at an end of the rotating dock along a direction parallel to the rotating axis, and the rotating dock is rotated as the rotating dock is deployed. The lock member moves from the stopper position to the retracted position when the lock protrusion comes into contact with the lock member, and after the lock protrusion exceeds the lock member, the lock member moves to the stopper position. To the rear of the locking projection, thereby preventing the pivoting dock from rotating in the closing direction so that the pivoting dock is locked and held in the unfolded state.

  Among these, as for the connection method in which one end of the control member and the main body are connected, in one embodiment, fixed connection can be realized by a method such as fastening by a fastening member, soldering, etc. A small amount of elastic deformation characteristics may be provided, and it is possible to realize that the lock member has rigidity and the lock member moves between the stopper position and the retracted position by elastic deformation of the control member. Further, the control member itself can be given rigidity, but the lock member itself has a small amount of elastic deformation characteristics. In a situation where the lock member and the control member have an integral structure, it is considered that the two members are manufactured using a material having a small amount of elastic deformation. In another preferred embodiment, the connection method for connecting one end of the control member and the main body may be a movable connection such as a hinge connection, a pivot connection, etc., so that the control member is connected to the movable connection point. By rotating around, it is possible to realize that the lock member moves between the stopper position and the retracted position. At this time, both the control member and the lock member are manufactured using a rigid material, and a relatively large locking force is obtained. Can be provided.

  In the following embodiments, the one end of the control member is rotated through a first shaft extending in the front-rear direction and connected to the main body, and the control member is centered on the first shaft and the stopper. A first reset elastic member is installed at the other end of the control member, and the reset elastic member recovers the lock member from the retracted position to the stopper position. In the process of unfolding and rotating the rotary dock, the lock projection presses the lock member at the other end of the control member and resists the elasticity of the first reset elastic member, It is rotated with respect to the first axis and moved to the retracted position. Based on this embodiment, after the lock member is pressed to the retracted position by the lock convex portion via the first reset elastic member, it can be automatically recovered to the stopper position. Of course, the first reset elastic member is not essential, and in the situation where the first reset elastic member is not installed, after the lock member is pressed to the retracted position by the lock convex portion, the through hole is installed in the main body, and the user It is also possible to hold an elongated lever in the hand and pass it through the through hole to enter the main body, and artificially move the lock member from the retracted position to the stopper position, and the object of the present invention can be realized. Compared with the embodiment in which the first reset elastic member is not installed, this embodiment is more convenient to operate.

  In one embodiment of the locking device according to the present invention, the locking member may extend over the locking guide surface in order for the locking projection to smoothly exceed the locking member during the deployment rotation process, and to further smooth the operation of the locking device. A stopper surface, wherein the lock protrusion is provided on a bottom plate of the door of the rotary dock, the lock protrusion includes a deployment guide surface and a stopper surface, and the stopper surface of the lock member is the lock Positioned on the front side of the member, when the deployment guide surface of the lock projection presses the deployment guide surface of the lock member, the lock member moves from the stopper position to the retracted position, and the lock projection is forward. When the rotary dock is in the unfolded state beyond the lock member, the front stopper surface of the lock member and the stopper surface of the lock projection come into contact with each other. In this embodiment, the stopper surface on the front side of the lock member and the stopper surface of the lock convex portion are in direct contact with each other, and there is no gap between the two, so the rotary dock rotates in the closing direction. And the lock becomes more accurate, and the rotating dock does not rotate following the electronic device to be removed. However, in the present invention, a slight gap is allowed between the stopper surface of the lock member and the stopper surface of the lock projection, and the rotating dock substantially follows the electronic device to be removed. It can be solved to a great extent.

  In one embodiment of the locking device of the present invention, the unfolding guide surface of the locking member is positioned above the locking member, and the unfolding guide surface of the locking projection is in the retracted state of the rotary dock. In this case, it is located on the front side of the lock projection, and in the deployed state of the rotary dock, the deployment guide surface of the lock projection rotates downward, and in such an arrangement, the retracted position is a stopper. Located below the position. Naturally, if the positions of the respective guide surfaces for deployment of the lock member and the lock convex portion are changed based on the principle of symmetry, the retracted position is positioned above the stopper position.

  In one embodiment of the locking device of the present invention, the locking member further exceeds the locking member in the reverse direction smoothly during the closing rotation process, so that the operation of the locking device is further smoothed. A closing guide surface is provided between the developing guide surface of the locking member and the stopper surface, and the locking convex portion is also positioned between the developing guide surface of the locking convex portion and the stopper surface. And the closing guide surface of the locking protrusion is used for closing the lock so that the locking protrusion exceeds the locking member in the closing rotation direction. By pressing against the guide surface, the lock member is pushed from the stopper position to the retracted position.

  In one embodiment of the locking device of the present invention, the locking device further includes an unlock slide button, the unlock slide button being movable between a lock position and an unlock position, and the unlock slide button being controlled. Including a pin, the control pin and the control member are interlocked, and accordingly, the lock member installed at the other end of the control member leaves the stopper position. When the user unlocks the lock of the rotary dock, the unlock slide button is moved from the lock position to the unlock position, the unlock is completed, and the rotary dock rotates smoothly in the closing direction. can do. Of course, the unlock slide button is not essential, and even in a situation where the unlock slide button is not installed, it can be considered that the user still manually operates to move the lock member from the stopper position to the retracted position.

  With respect to a specific embodiment of the operation in which the unlocking slide button is accompanied by the locking member, the present invention is not limited and a known structure can be adopted. In a preferred embodiment of the locking device of the present invention, the control member is provided with a cam groove, and the cam groove includes a locking groove portion, an unlocking groove portion, and a protrusion positioned between the two, The control pin of the slide button is inserted into the cam groove, and the control pin includes, for example, an engagement groove extending along its axis, the engagement groove engages with the protrusion, and the lock member is at the stopper position. And when the unlock slide button is in the locked position, the control pin is in the lock groove, and when the unlock slide button is in the unlock position, the control pin is in the unlock groove, and An engagement groove and the protrusion are engaged, and the control pin is further connected to a second reset elastic member. The second reset elastic member connects the control pin to the unlock groove portion. Biases to move into the locking groove. Based on this method, in the closing rotation process, that is, the reverse rotation process, the unlock slide button is unlocked via the elasticity of the second reset elastic member in preparation for the next unlock operation. Automatically returns to the locked position.

  In one embodiment of the locking device of the present invention, the locking device further comprises a cover plate, the cover plate is located on the rear side of the control member, and a fixing column is installed on the other end of the control member, A hook is installed near the other end of the control member of the cover plate, the hook is located above the fixed column, and the first reset elastic member is between the fixed column and the hook. It is hung. Among these, the first reset elastic member may be a tension spring. Of course, a compression spring can be employed, but the position of the compression spring needs to be changed, and a thrust for moving the lock member from the retracted position to the stopper position is continuously applied from the compression spring to the control member.

  In one embodiment of the locking device of the present invention, the locking member is pivotally connected to the other end of the control member via a second shaft extending in the vertical direction, and the locking member and the control member A third reset elastic member is installed between the other ends. When the rotary dock is in a locked state and the external force acting on the rotary dock is greater than a predetermined value of the third reset elastic member, the lock convex portion of the rotary dock causes the lock member to move backward about the second axis. It is possible to avoid the lock member from being damaged when it is pushed forward so as to be rotated and a strong external force is applied to rotate the door body in the closing direction.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a rotary dock, wherein the rotary dock is opened and closed by rotation, and the rotary dock is closed by the rotary dock. A connector is provided on the inner surface stored in a state, and the rotary dock includes the lock device according to any one of the above. Based on the rotary dock of the present invention, when the electronic device inserted in the rotary dock is removed, the electronic device is not rotated following the electronic device to be removed. This reduces the burden on the connector part and makes it difficult for the connector part to be damaged.

[Embodiment 1]
As shown in FIGS. 1-4, this invention provides electronic devices, such as a speaker, for example. The electronic apparatus includes a main body 100 and a rotary dock 1 provided on the main body 100. The rotary dock 1 is installed on a predetermined mounting portion 101 of the main body 100.

  The rotary dock 1 can include a door body 10 and a dock case 11 to constitute a dock box, for example. The door body 10 is located at the front of the main body 100 and includes a panel 12 and a bottom plate 13 connected to the panel 12 at a depression angle (for example, a right angle). The dock case 11 is located on the rear side of the door body 10 inside the main body 100. The door body 10 pivots and is joined to the dock case 11, and the door body 10 rotates and rotates around a shaft 15 that penetrates the hole 14 in the door body 10 to realize deployment and storage. A connector 16 is installed on the inner surface stored inside the main body 100 when the door body 10 is stored, for example, the inner surface of the bottom plate 13, and the connector 16 is exposed when the door body 10 is unfolded, for example, a player (iPod (registered trademark)). Etc. can be inserted. The rotary dock 1 can be installed with a push-open mechanism, and the open / close cam and the open / close gear of the push-open mechanism can be installed at both ends of the dock case 11 along the rotational axis direction of the door body 10. Opening pins 17, 18, 19 extending along the rotation axis are installed at both ends of the bottom plate 13 of the door body 10 along the rotation axis direction of the door body 10. The open / close cam of the open mechanism is fitted to the operation chute, and the three open / close pins 17 to 19 are further used to stop the inner wall surface 1001 located in the vicinity of the mounting portion 101 of the main body 100 to expand the door body 10. In addition, it is used to limit the rotation at a predetermined angle such as 90 degrees when closed, and the user can automatically open and close the door body 10 by pressing the door body 10 by a push-open mechanism.

  As described above, the door body 10, the dock case 11, and the push-open mechanism form an independent dock box that can be arbitrarily attached to and detached from the main body 100, and further, the dock box by the fastening member and the elastic cushion 110 (for example, rubber cushion). Can be mounted on the corresponding mounting base of the main body 100 to enhance the modularization characteristics. Of course, the formation of the dock box is not essential, the dock case 11 is omitted, and the door body 10 and the push-open mechanism of the rotary dock 1 are directly mounted on the support member formed on the inner wall surface 1001 of the main body 100. You can also.

  The main body 100, the rotary dock 1 and its push-open mechanism are conventional techniques, and other structures will not be described in further detail. Further, the mechanism for deploying and closing the door body 10 is not limited to the push-open mechanism mentioned above, and other mechanisms can be adopted.

  The improvement of the present invention is that the rotary dock 1 includes a lock device 2, which includes a lock member 21, and the lock member 21 is held in a deployed state. As described above, the rotary dock 1 is locked in the unfolded state of the rotary dock 1. Therefore, when the electronic device inserted in the connector 16 of the rotary dock 1 is removed, the door body 10 of the rotary dock 1 does not rotate following the electronic device to be removed. The force received by both inserted connector portions is reduced, and the connector portions are less likely to be damaged.

  In a preferred embodiment of the locking device 2 of the present invention, the locking device 2 includes a control member 3. One end 31 of the control member 3 is rotated through a first shaft 32 extending in the front-rear direction and connected to the inner wall surface 1001 of the main body 100, and the other end 33 is locked by a fastening member, a soldering method, or the like. Installed. As a result, the lock member 21 at the other end 33 rotates around the first shaft 32 around the first shaft 32 (the two-dot chain line in FIG. 4 indicates the rotation of the control member 3). , And can move between the stopper position P1 and the retracted position P2 along the direction of the arrow F1.

  A lock projection 22 is installed at an end of the bottom plate 13 of the door 10 of the rotary dock 1 corresponding to the lock member 21, and the lock member 21 and the lock projection 22 are fitted to achieve locking. .

  In the most preferred embodiment, referring to FIG. 2, the lock member 21 is pivotally connected to the other end 33 of the control member 3 via a second shaft 5 extending in the vertical direction, that is, the width direction of the control member 3. Further, the third reset elastic member 6 can be installed between the lock member 21 and the other end 33 of the control member 3. When the lock member 21 is in the locked state at the stopper position P1 and the strong external force acting on the door body 10 of the rotary dock 1 still rotates the door body 10, the lock convex portion 22 causes the lock member 21 to move to the second shaft 5. It is pushed around so as to rotate backward in the main body 100. The lock member 21 is prevented from being damaged when receiving a strong external force that rotates the door body 10 in the closing direction.

  In the preferred embodiment, the locking member 21 is provided with a developing guide surface 211 and a stopper surface 212 in order to make the operation smoother during the rotation of the locking device 2 (see FIG. 5b). The deployment guide surface 211 of the lock member 21 may have an arcuate surface distributed along the rotation track of the lock projection 22 and may be positioned above the lock member 21. For example, the stopper surface 212 of the lock member 21 may be a vertical surface parallel to the rotation axis of the door 10 and may be positioned on the front side of the lock member 21. The lock projection 22 includes a deployment guide surface 221 and a stopper surface 222. The deployment guide surface 221 of the lock convex portion 22 has an arch-shaped surface that is complementary to the arch-shaped surface of the deployment guide surface 211 of the lock member 21. When the door body 10 is in the closed state, the unfolding guide surface 221 of the lock convex portion 22 is positioned on the front side of the lock convex portion 22, the stopper surface 222 is positioned on the lower side of the lock convex portion 22, and the door body 10 is When in the unfolded state, the stopper surface 222 of the lock projection 22 rotates to a vertical surface parallel to the rotation line axis of the door body 10, and the unfolding guide surface 221 faces downward. In this arrangement, the retracted position P2 is located below the stopper position P1. As can be seen from the principle of symmetry, when the positions of the deployment guide surfaces 211 and 221 of the lock member 21 and the lock projection 22 are changed, the retracted position P2 is disposed above the stopper position P1. In the unfolding process of the rotary dock 1, the unfolding guide surface 221 of the lock projection 22 slides while pressing the unfolding guide surface 211 of the lock member 21, and moves the lock member 21 from the stopper position P1 to the retracted position P2. The stopper surface 212 of the lock member 21 is the stopper surface of the lock projection 22 in the deployed state of the rotary dock 1, which is advantageous for the lock projection 22 to exceed the lock member 21 for the first time in the direction of deployment rotation. 222 abuts, the door body 10 is blocked, cannot be rotated in the closing direction, and locking is realized.

  In the preferred embodiment, the locking member 21 is further closed between the unfolding guide surface 211 and the stopper surface 212 of the locking member 21 in order to make the operation smoother in the closing rotation process of the locking device 2. A guide surface 213 is provided, and the lock convex portion 22 is also provided with a closing guide surface 223 positioned between the unfolding guide surface 221 of the lock convex portion 22 and the stopper surface 222. In the closing rotation of the rotary dock 1, the closing guide surface 223 of the locking projection 22 slides while pressing the closing guide surface 213 of the locking member 21, and the locking member 21 is moved from the stopper position P1 to the retracted position P2. It is advantageous for the locking projection 22 to be moved in the direction of closing and turning over the locking member 21 in the reverse direction.

  In one preferred embodiment, a first reset elastic member 34 is installed at the other end 33 of the control member 3. For example, a fixed column 35 is installed on the rear side of the other end 33 of the control member 3, a hook is installed on the inner wall surface 1001 of the main body 100 above the fixed column 35 near the other end 33, and the first reset elastic member 34 is For example, a tension spring is hung between the fixed column 35 and the hook. The first reset elastic member 34 continuously urges the lock member 21 to recover to the stopper position P1 by pulling the lock member 21 upward from the retracted position P2. Naturally, the first reset elastic member 34 is not essential, and in a situation where the first reset elastic member 34 is omitted, the lock member 21 may be manually operated to recover it from the retracted position P2 to the stopper position P1. it can. As can be seen from the embodiment in which the first reset elastic member 34 is, for example, a compression spring, a hook for hanging the first reset elastic member 34 is provided below the fixed column 35, and the first reset elastic member 34 is the lock member 21. Is continuously urged so as to push upward from the retracted position P2 to the stopper position P1. The specific structure and type of installing the first reset elastic member of the present invention are not limited, and the lock member 21 may be urged so as to recover from the retracted position P2 to the stopper position P1.
