請同時參考圖1與圖3,在本實施例中,電子裝置100,例如是筆記型電腦,其包括機體120與腳墊模組110。機體120具有底面121。腳墊模組110包括第一腳墊111與至少一第二腳墊112,且在此是以一個第一腳墊111設置於底面121,並在第一腳墊111沿X軸延伸的相對兩端分別設置兩個第二腳墊112為例,但不以此為限。在此。第二腳墊112,例如是通過轉軸113,而沿軸向113a樞接至第一腳墊111,以利第二腳墊112能以軸向113a相對於第一腳墊111旋轉,並在第一狀態與第二狀態之間切換。圖1與圖2所示的第二腳墊112處於第一狀態,而圖3與圖4所示的第二腳墊112處於第二狀態。還需說明的是,本實施例是以機體120的底面121座落於X-Y平面上,以利於腳墊模組110的狀態在改變前、後能有相同的參考標準。Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 3 simultaneously. In this embodiment, the
本實施例的電子裝置100的機體120區分為彼此相對的前側S1與後側S2,其中對於筆記型電腦而言,前側S1同時也是使用者之所在,腳墊模組110是設置於後側S2,而電子裝置100還包括固定式腳墊140,設置於前側S1。換句話說,電子裝置100是同時藉由固定式腳墊140與活動式的腳墊模組110而得以支撐在平台200上。The
請同時參考圖2與圖4,如圖2所示,處於第一狀態的第二腳墊112,其是與第一腳墊111共平面,二者一起將機體120撐持於平台200上。在此,平台200被視為座落於X-Y平面或平行於X-Y平面。相對地,在第二狀態時,第二腳墊112經旋轉180度而突出於第一腳墊111,故而機體120便藉由第二腳墊112而支撐於平台200上,且使第一腳墊111與平台200之間形成空間,也就是機體120在腳墊模組110的局部結構能因此而被抬高(也相當於機體120的底面121被抬高),如圖4所示。Please refer to FIG. 2 and FIG. 4 at the same time. As shown in FIG. 2 , the
在本實施例的腳墊模組110中,第一腳墊111具有第一外觀面A1,第二腳墊112具有第二外觀面A2與隱藏面A4。再者,第一腳墊111還具有與第一外觀面A1相鄰的第一分隔面A5,第二腳墊112還具有與第二外觀面A2相鄰的第二分隔面A6,其中第一分隔面A5與第二分隔面A6平行相對且介於第一外觀面A1與第二外觀面A2之間。此外,第二腳墊112還具有接觸面A3,第二外觀面A2介於第二分隔面A6與接觸面A3之間。In the
在此,第一外觀面A1與第二外觀面A2是由至少兩個面所形成的多面柱體,且實質上第一外觀面A1即是第一腳墊111恆外露於機體120的三個表面,第二外觀面A2即是第二腳墊112在第一狀態下外露於機體120的三個表面。還需提及的是,外觀面(即第一外觀面A1、第二外觀面A2)與接觸面A3意指在第一狀態與第二狀態下使用者可以肉眼觀看到腳墊的表面,隱藏面A4為在第一狀態下肉眼無法觀看到腳墊的表面但在第二狀態是可觀看到腳墊的表面,而分隔面在第一狀態與第二狀態為肉眼都無法觀看到腳墊的表面。Here, the first appearance surface A1 and the second appearance surface A2 are polyhedral cylinders formed by at least two surfaces, and in fact, the first appearance surface A1 is the three portions of the
以下說明本實施例關於腳墊模組110的旋轉機制。如圖所示,本實施例的轉軸113的軸向113a是相對於底面121呈傾斜。同時,第一分隔面A5與第二分隔面A6也是相對於底面121呈傾斜,且轉軸113的軸向113a實質上正交於第一分隔面A5與第二分隔面A6。如此一來,第二腳墊112藉由轉軸113而相對於第一腳墊111的旋轉過程中,第一分隔面A5恆平行面對於第二分隔面A6。The following describes the rotation mechanism of the
據此,在上述的第一狀態下,腳墊模組110的隱藏面A4會面對機體120且與底面121相鄰,接觸面A3會與底面121相鄰。第一外觀面A1與第二外觀面A2相互共面,而使得第一腳墊111與第二腳墊112的外形輪廓一致。相對地,在上述的第二狀態下,隱藏面A4露出於機體120且面對第一外觀面A1,接觸面A3相對遠離於底面121。Accordingly, in the above-mentioned first state, the hidden surface A4 of the
請再參考圖1與圖3,在本實施例中,電子裝置100的機體120還具有位於底面121的散熱區122,所述散熱區122的範圍內可設置多個開口或網孔,且電子裝置100還具有設置在機體120內的風扇160。由上可知,處於第二狀態的第二腳墊112無疑地因抬高機體120而使風扇160得以經由散熱區122從外部環境吸取更多的冷空氣,進而提升散熱效果。同時,機體120因上述局部抬高效果也能相對於平台200而呈傾斜,有利於提高使用者的操作體驗。類似地,機體120還具有位於後側S2的散熱區124與位於旁側S3的散熱區125,也是在所述區域範圍內存在多個開口或網孔,在本實施例中,散熱區124、125可作為散熱氣流的排出之用。Please refer to Figures 1 and 3 again. In this embodiment, the
在本實施例中,機體120還具有位於底面121上的凹陷123,且在第一狀態時,第二腳墊112的隱藏面A4是面對於凹陷123,而後如圖5所示,旋轉中的第二腳墊112的局部是移入凹陷123之中,據以讓凹陷123能提供旋轉第二腳墊112時所需的迴轉避讓空間。In this embodiment, the
圖5A與圖5B分別是圖1的電子裝置的部分構件示意圖。圖5C是圖1的電子裝置的局部示意圖。請先參考圖5A與圖5B,為了有效限制第二腳墊112相對於第一腳墊111的旋轉角度,本實施例的第二腳墊112具有空心柱112a,從第二分隔面A6延伸出且樞接至第一腳墊111。第二腳墊112還具有止擋肋112b,而第一腳墊111具有開口形成於第一分隔面A5的雙層圓孔111a,以及形成於雙層圓孔111a的一對止擋牆111b。空心柱112a可旋轉地組裝入雙層圓孔111a,且該對止擋牆111b位在止擋肋112b的移動路徑上,其中該對止擋牆111b可視為位在雙層圓孔111a之截圓直徑上的相對兩端,據以限制第二腳墊112相對於第一腳墊111的可旋轉角度範圍是不會超出180度。FIG. 5A and FIG. 5B are respectively schematic diagrams of partial components of the electronic device in FIG. 1 . FIG. 5C is a partial schematic diagram of the electronic device of FIG. 1 . Please refer to Figure 5A and Figure 5B first. In order to effectively limit the rotation angle of the
接著,請參考圖5C並對照圖1或圖3,本實施例的電子裝置100還包括控制模組CM與感測器150A,控制模組CM例如包括筆記型電腦的主機板與其上控制及訊號處理元件(例如:中央處理器與微控制器等),且電性連接風扇160與感測器150A。感測器150A例如是角度感測器或旋鈕開關,感測器150A具有固定部152A與旋轉部151A,其中固定部152A組裝於第一腳墊111內,旋轉部151A可旋轉地組裝於固定部152A,且旋轉部151A延伸至且固定於第二腳墊112,旋轉部151A隨第二腳墊112相對於第一腳墊111旋轉。另如圖5B所示,感測器150A的旋轉部151A是具有削平面N1的圓柱體,因此對應地,空心柱112a是具有削平面N2的圓柱孔,通過削平面N1、N2彼此適配,而讓旋轉部151A得以與第二腳墊112固接在一起以同步相對於第一腳墊111旋轉。Next, please refer to FIG. 5C and compare with FIG. 1 or 3. The
圖6是本發明一實施例的電子裝置的操作方法。請參考圖6,在前述圖式中已敘明電子裝置100的活動式的腳墊模組110特徵,因此本實施例的操作方法即是對應前述腳墊模組110的第二腳墊112在第一狀態與第二狀態之間轉換,電子裝置100的控制模組CM所能產生的對應動作或操作模式。FIG. 6 illustrates an operating method of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to FIG. 6. The characteristics of the movable
首先,在步驟S10中,控制模組CM驅動感測器150A感測第二腳墊112的狀態而提供感測訊號至控制模組CM。接著,在步驟S15中,控制模組CM提供詢問訊息給使用者,並確認使用者是否同意控制模組CM操控風扇160的操作參數。接著,當使用者同意之後,控制模組CM執行步驟S20,也就是控制模組CM依據感測訊號而操控風扇160的操作參數。相對地,當使用者不同意控制模組CM操控風扇160的操作參數,則風扇160得以維持當下現況,並結束本實施例所述的操作方法。在本實施例中,因應第二腳墊112的第二狀態,控制模組CM操控風扇160的操作參數以使第二狀態的風量大於第一狀態的風量。反之,因應第二腳墊112的第一狀態,則是控制模組CM操控風扇160的操作參數以使第一狀態的風量小於第二狀態的風量。簡單地說,風扇160的風量是受控地從第一狀態轉換至第二狀態而增加,或是受控地從第二狀態轉換至第一狀態而減少。First, in step S10 , the control module CM drives the
在其他未繪示的實施例中,當使用者不同意控制模組CM操控風扇160的操作參數時,則控制模組CM則能視情形改以關閉風扇160。In other embodiments not shown, when the user does not agree with the control module CM to control the operating parameters of the
簡單地說,本實施例的電子裝置100相當於將其活動式至的腳墊模組110視為調整風扇160之操作參數的開關,以使風扇160的特性能因應第二腳墊112的狀態變化。同時,相較於讓使用者需另外經由程式軟體操控風扇160,本實施例採用直覺式的腳墊抬升動作,並連動觸發風扇功能的調整操作,還能有效地簡化使用者的操作流程及提高操作效率。Simply put, the
另外,在本實施例中,為了有效地對使用者造成提醒或警示效果,控制模組CM驅動電子裝置100提供能反映風扇160狀態的視覺訊號以供使用者辨識。所述視覺訊號包括鍵盤(但不限於此)的發光訊號、機體120的警示燈號或直接以電子裝置100的顯示螢幕(包括藉由程式軟體在顯示螢幕提供相關訊號)執行。In addition, in this embodiment, in order to effectively provide a reminder or warning effect to the user, the control module CM drives the
圖7A與圖7B是本發明另一實施例的腳墊模組的變化示意圖。請參考圖7A與圖7B,在本實施例中,第二腳墊312包括支撐部312a與凸部312b,凸部312b伸入第一腳墊111,且凸部312b隨著第二腳墊312的旋轉而在第一腳墊111內形成移動路徑L1。在此,第二腳墊312的凸部312b例如是螺柱,以適配於第一腳墊111的螺孔(未繪示),因此第二腳墊312相對於第一腳墊111的旋轉運動便能轉換為沿著軸向113a(如圖2或圖4所示)的位移,如圖7A所示第一狀態,支撐部312a與第一腳墊111之間存在間隙G1,而轉換至圖7B所示第二狀態時,間隙G1因應第二腳墊112沿軸向113a的位移而被消除。7A and 7B are schematic diagrams of changes of the foot pad module according to another embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to FIGS. 7A and 7B . In this embodiment, the second foot pad 312 includes a support part 312 a and a convex part 312 b. The convex part 312 b extends into the
再者,本實施例的凸部312b還具有彈性本體E3,從前述螺柱延伸至感測器150B。在此,感測器150B是微動開關,其觸發彈片抵接於彈性本體E3且位於彈性本體E3的移動路徑上,故得以受控於彈性本體E3而被觸發開啟或關閉。進一步地說,彈性本體E3例如是呈類L形的彈片,其第一端E1抵接於機體120,而其第二端E2固定於前述具有螺紋的柱體,且使彈性本體E3的彎折處抵接於微動開關的觸發彈片。據此,當第二腳墊312如圖7A所示處於第一狀態時,凸部312b的彈性本體E3未觸發微動開關,而當第二腳墊312如圖7B所示處於第二狀態時,相當於第二腳墊312產生沿軸向113a的位移,並因第一端E1抵接於機體120而造成彈性本體E3變形,並據以抵壓且觸發微動開關,而使感測器150B感測到第二腳墊112的狀態變化。Furthermore, the convex portion 312b of this embodiment also has an elastic body E3 extending from the aforementioned stud to the sensor 150B. Here, the sensor 150B is a micro switch, and its trigger elastic piece contacts the elastic body E3 and is located on the movement path of the elastic body E3, so it can be controlled by the elastic body E3 to be triggered to open or close. Furthermore, the elastic body E3 is, for example, an L-shaped spring piece. Its first end E1 is in contact with the
圖8與圖9分別是本發明不同實施例的操作方法的流程圖,其同樣能被應用於前述圖式所示的電子裝置100。如圖1至圖4所示,腳墊模組110是在一個第一腳墊111的相對兩端分別設置可旋轉的兩個第二腳墊112,因此提供兩個感測器150A或150B,以分別針對使用者分別旋轉這兩個第二腳墊112與否,而讓電子裝置100產生對應的操作模式。8 and 9 are respectively flowcharts of operating methods according to different embodiments of the present invention, which can also be applied to the
首先,於步驟S100中,控制模組CM驅動兩個感測器150A或150B以分別感測兩個第二腳墊112相對於第一腳墊111的狀態,並提供兩個感測訊號至控制模組CM。接著,於步驟S200中,控制模組CM判斷兩個感測訊號是否一致。當兩個感測訊號一致時,也就是代表該兩個第二腳墊112的狀態是相同的,因此於步驟S320中,控制模組CM根據該兩個感測訊號而操控風扇160的操作參數。反之,當該兩個感測訊號不一致時,則代表該兩個第二腳墊112的狀態不同,因此於步驟S310中,控制模組CM提供警示訊號給使用者,並經一段時間的等待後再次以該兩個感測器150A或150B進行感測。First, in step S100, the control module CM drives two
上述等待的時間即是讓使用者能據以調整第二腳墊112的狀態而使其成為一致,其包括:控制模組CM經過預設時間T1後提供前述的警示訊號,以利使用者有足夠時間即時修正第二腳墊112的狀態。其還包括:等待預設時間T2後執行步驟S100,也就是在預設時間T2後才讓控制模組CM驅動該兩個感測器150A或150B再次進行感測。The above-mentioned waiting time is to allow the user to adjust the state of the
此外,為了避免操作方法陷入迴圈,因此本實施例的操作方法還包括:步驟S410,判斷連續執行步驟S100的累積次數,當累積次數超過預設值時,則控制模組CM自動從這些步驟脫離(即停止所述操作方法),同時還能搭配其他動作,例如驅動風扇160降低風量或關閉風扇160。In addition, in order to avoid the operation method falling into a loop, the operation method of this embodiment also includes: step S410, which determines the cumulative number of consecutive executions of step S100. When the cumulative number exceeds the preset value, the control module CM automatically starts from these steps. Disengagement (i.e., stopping the operation method) can also be combined with other actions, such as driving the
圖10A與圖10B是本發明另一實施例的電子裝置的簡單示意圖。請同時參考圖10A與圖10B,在本實施例中,電子裝置還包括同步機構130,其包括一對萬向接頭131與傳動件132。傳動件132穿設於第一腳墊111,萬向接頭131分別設置在傳動件132的相對兩端,且各萬向接頭131的末端連接至第二腳墊112。如此一來,位在第一腳墊111之相對兩端的第二腳墊112便能通過萬向接頭131與傳動件132而同步旋轉,亦即使用者僅需施力於其中一個第二腳墊112,便能同步驅動另一個第二腳墊112,以簡化使用者的操作。同時,本實施例也僅需設置一個感測器150A或150B,便能讓控制模組CM據以調整風扇160的因應狀態,而不致於產生兩個第二接墊112不同狀態的情形。10A and 10B are simple schematic diagrams of an electronic device according to another embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to FIG. 10A and FIG. 10B simultaneously. In this embodiment, the electronic device further includes a synchronization mechanism 130 , which includes a pair of universal joints 131 and a transmission member 132 . The transmission member 132 is passed through the
在此以前述感測器150A為例,傳動件132例如是具有中空部的結構件,感測器150A的固定部152A設置於中空部,電線穿過傳動件132的開口而電性連接至機體120內的控制模組CM,且固定部152A相對於傳動件132而言是固定不動的(不會隨傳動件旋轉)。相對地,感測器150A的旋轉部151A則是與傳動件132嵌合在一起以使二者能同步旋轉,故當使用者旋轉第二腳墊112時,便能經由萬向接頭131而一併帶動傳動件132與旋轉部151A,並據以使感測器150A感測第二腳墊112的狀態。Taking the
綜上所述,在本發明的上述實施例中,電子裝置具有活動式腳墊模組,包括固定於機體的第一腳墊,以及樞接於第一腳墊的第二腳墊。通過第二腳墊相對於第一腳墊樞轉而於第一狀態與第二狀態之間轉換,其中在第一狀態時,機體同時藉由第一腳墊與第二腳墊而撐持於平台上,在第二狀態時,第二腳墊相對於第一腳墊旋轉180度並突出於第一腳墊,以使機體在腳墊模組的局部僅藉由第二腳墊撐持於平台,據以將所述局部抬高於平台上。To sum up, in the above embodiments of the present invention, the electronic device has a movable foot pad module, which includes a first foot pad fixed on the body and a second foot pad pivotally connected to the first foot pad. The second foot pad pivots relative to the first foot pad to switch between the first state and the second state, wherein in the first state, the body is supported on the platform by the first foot pad and the second foot pad at the same time. On, in the second state, the second foot pad is rotated 180 degrees relative to the first foot pad and protrudes from the first foot pad, so that the body is only supported on the platform by the second foot pad in part of the foot pad module. Thereby the part is raised above the platform.
更重要的是,控制模組藉由感測器感測第二腳墊的狀態,並依據所述狀態而對應調整電子裝置的風扇,以讓風扇的操作參數能因應腳墊的變化而採行不同的對應措施。特別是,因應機體的所述局部被第二腳墊抬高而使機體的底面與平台之間的的空間得以被擴增,控制模組對應所述狀態而據以調整風扇的風量,據以因被擴增的空間而能使更多的外部環境空氣被風扇吸入機體內,進而提高風扇對於機體內熱源的散熱效果。同時,在前述調整風扇之前,操作方法尚提供警示/詢問訊息並確認使用者的後續動作。More importantly, the control module senses the state of the second foot pad through the sensor, and adjusts the fan of the electronic device accordingly according to the state, so that the operating parameters of the fan can be adapted to changes in the foot pad. different countermeasures. In particular, in response to the part of the body being raised by the second foot pad so that the space between the bottom surface of the body and the platform is enlarged, the control module adjusts the air volume of the fan accordingly in response to the state. Due to the expanded space, more external ambient air can be sucked into the body by the fan, thereby improving the cooling effect of the fan on the heat source within the body. At the same time, before adjusting the fan, the operation method also provides a warning/inquiry message and confirms the user's subsequent actions.
再者,因應第二腳墊的數量不同,電子裝置也具有與之對應的不同操作方法。當多個第二腳墊是分別相對於第一腳墊旋轉但彼此不同步時,電子裝置的操作方法除以警示訊息反映給使用者得知,並等候使用者後續指令之外,尚在所述警示訊息之前或(及)之後進一步地等待預設時間,其中所述警示訊息之前的預設時間是用以等待並確認第二腳墊的狀態而不致誤判,而所述息之後的預設時間則是提供使用者對第二腳墊進行調整,以及是否進行後續動作。Furthermore, depending on the number of second pads, the electronic device also has corresponding different operating methods. When the plurality of second footpads rotate relative to the first footpad but are not synchronized with each other, the operation method of the electronic device is not only to reflect a warning message to the user and to wait for the user's subsequent instructions, but also to Wait for a preset time before or (and) after the warning message, where the preset time before the warning message is used to wait and confirm the status of the second pad to avoid misjudgment, and the preset time after the warning message The time is provided for the user to adjust the second foot pad and whether to perform subsequent actions.
此外,控制模組驅動感測器以執行操作方法的過程中,尚進一步地紀錄感測器對第二腳墊的連續感測次數,當所述感測次數積累並超過預設值時,則控制模組停止執行操作方法、降低風扇的風量或關閉風扇,以避免所述操作方法陷入迴圈或因此造成風扇受損的狀態。In addition, during the process of driving the sensor to perform the operation method, the control module further records the number of consecutive sensing times of the second pad by the sensor. When the number of sensing times accumulates and exceeds the preset value, then The control module stops executing the operation method, reduces the air volume of the fan, or turns off the fan to prevent the operation method from falling into a loop or causing damage to the fan.
