Description

  The present invention relates to a multimedia player having a rotatable panel that can be automatically restored.

  Conventional multimedia players mounted on computers, such as VCD and DVD players, are movably mounted within the mainframe to carry portable storage media, such as VCDs and DVDs. A retractable tray and a cover plate pivotally mounted to the mainframe to cover or open the retractable tray. However, the cover plate is used only to cover or open the retractable tray, without any other added functions, thus limiting the versatility of the cover plate. In addition, the cover plate is not easily operated, thus causing inconvenience to the user.

  The utility model will be more clearly understood by reference to the following detailed description, taken in conjunction with the drawings.

  As referred to in the figures and initially to FIGS. 1 to 5, the multimedia player is, for example, a VCD or DVD player, and in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the utility model, the mainframe 1 and the mainframe 1 Includes a pivot panel 2 that is pivotally mounted. The mainframe 1 includes a retractable receiving section 10 for carrying a portable storage medium such as a VCD or a DVD. Preferably, the receiving portion 10 of the main frame 1 is a retractable tray. The rotating panel 2 has a mounting plate 20 fixed to the main frame 1 and a casing 30 rotatably mounted on the mounting plate 20.

  A window 21 is formed in the mounting plate 20 so as to pass through the receiving portion 10 and is positioned corresponding to the receiving portion 10 of the main frame 1. The casing unit 30 includes a first plate 31, a second plate 32 combined with the first plate 31, an electronic device 33 mounted between the first plate 31 and the second plate 32, , Including. A window 310 is formed in the first plate 31 of the casing 30. The electronic device 33 includes a circuit board 330, a display 331, and two adjustment switches 332.

  The circuit board 330 is electrically connected to the main frame 1 and controls the operation of the multimedia player. The display 331 is attached to the circuit board 330 and is flush with the window 310 of the first plate 31. The display 331 is preferably a liquid crystal display (LCD) that indicates the operating status of the multimedia player. The first plate 31 has two through-holes 311 for mounting two adjustment switches 332. Each of the two adjustment switches 332 is attached to the circuit board 330. The two adjustment switches 332 are preferably a volume control button and a frequency modulation button for controlling the playback function of the multimedia player.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the casing 30 has a first position where the second plate 32 of the casing 30 is firmly and stably placed on the mounting plate 20, and as shown in FIG. The second plate 32 is rotatable between a second position where the second plate 32 is moved from the mounting plate 20 so as to expose all the windows 21 of the mounting plate 20. In short, the casing unit 30 forms an operation panel capable of displaying the operation state of the multimedia player and controlling the reproduction function of the multimedia player. Further, the casing part 30 has a rotating function of protecting the receiving part 10 of the main frame 1 or keeping it away from the receiving part 10.

  Two mounting portions 22 each having a mounting recess 220 are formed on the mounting plate 20 so as to face each other. The rotating panel 2 further includes two connection members 23 fixed to one of the two mounting portions 22 of the mounting plate 20. Each connecting member 23 has a first block 231 in which a fixing hole 233 is formed, and a second block 231 formed integrally with the first block 231 and inserted into one mounting recess 220 of each of the two mounting portions 22. And a second block 232. Each of the fixing holes 233 of the first block 231 in the two connecting members 23 is coaxial with each other. The rotating panel 2 is further mounted between the first plate 31 of the casing portion 30 and one of the two connecting members 23, respectively, and supplies a restoring force for returning the casing portion 30 to its original position. And one restoration device 4.

  In the first plate 31, two fixing portions 312 each having a plurality of fixing concave portions 3120 are formed at opposite positions. Each of the two restoring devices 4 is fixed to one of the two fixing members 312 of the first plate 31 and a shaft member 41 fixed to one of the two connecting members 23, respectively. It includes a rotating container 40 rotatably mounted on the member 41 and an elastic member 42 mounted inside the shaft member 41 and acting between the rotating container 40 and the shaft member 41. The shaft member 41 protrudes outward from the rotating container 40 and has a distal end formed by a plug 415 fixed to a fixing hole 233 in one of each of the two connection members 23. The shaft member 41 has an inner surface in which a chamber 410 for accommodating the elastic member 42 is formed, and an outer surface in which a plurality of through holes 411 connected to the chamber 410 are formed. .

  The rotating container 40 has an outer surface on which a plurality of fixing blocks 401 fixed to each one of the fixing recesses 3120 of each fixing portion 312 in the first plate 31 are formed. An opening 403 for accommodating the shaft member 41 is formed in the rotating container 40. The chamber 410 of the shaft member 41 has an end face portion on which the fixing groove 412 is formed (see FIG. 5). The opening 403 of the rotating container 40 has an end face 402 on which a fixed stud 404 having a fixed groove 405 is formed. The elastic member 42 has a first end fixed in the fixing groove 412 of the shaft member 41 and a second end fixed in the fixing groove 405 of the rotating container 40.

  Each of the two restoring devices 4 is further formed with a viscous body 44 incorporated between the rotating container 40 and the shaft member 41 and a through hole 430 for passing the plug 415 of the shaft member 41. A lid 43 fixed to the opening 403 of the moving container 40 and rotating together with the rotating container 40; an O-ring 45 acting between the rotating container 40 and the shaft member 41 to seal the viscous body 44; ,including. Preferably, the viscous body 44 is an oil such as grease that provides a damping effect between the rotating container 40 and the shaft member 41. The lid portion 43 has an inner wall in which two positioning blocks 431 are formed in opposite positions, and the shaft member 41 has an outer surface in which two locking blocks 413 are formed at opposite positions. The movement of the positioning block 431 of the lid 43 is stopped to prevent the elastic member 42 from being excessively bent or deformed due to excessive rotation of the rotating container 40.

  In operation, when the casing part 30 rotates with respect to the mounting plate 20, the rotating container 40 is rotated about the shaft member 41 from the position shown in FIG. 5 to the position shown in FIG. The member 42 is bent during the movement of the casing part 30 and accumulates a restoring force. Referring to FIGS. 1 to 6, as shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, when the casing 30 is located at the first position shown in FIG. 7, the second plate 32 of the casing 30 is As shown in FIG. 1, it is firmly and stably placed on the mounting plate 20.

  When the casing portion 30 is moved to the outside with respect to the mounting plate 20 so as to move to the second position shown in FIG. 9, the second plate 32 of the casing portion 30 makes all the windows 21 of the mounting plate 20 move. It is moved from the mounting plate 20 so as to be exposed, and as a result, the receiving part 10 of the main frame 1 is moved to the outside from the window part 21 as shown in FIGS. At this time, the elastic member 42 is bent during the movement of the casing 30 and accumulates a restoring force. Therefore, when the receiving portion 10 of the main frame 1 is pulled into the window portion 21 of the mounting plate 20, the casing portion 30 is moved toward the mounting plate 20 by the restoring force of the elastic member 42. As a result, the casing 30 is moved from the second position shown in FIG. 9 to the first position shown in FIG. 7, and returns to the original position.
