Electronic device with flip device

The present invention relates to an electronic device, and more particularly to an electronic device having a self-aligning flip device.

At present, some portable electronic devices introduced on the market, such as portable DVDs, digital photo frames, and mobile phones, have a mobile storage function under the premise of satisfying basic functions, and are generally set at specific positions of the body of the electronic device. One or more USB interfaces for data transfer. In order to achieve the purpose of waterproofing and dustproof, a rubber plug is provided outside the USB interface. When the USB interface is not used, the rubber plug is inserted into the USB interface, and when used, the rubber plug is pulled out.

However, since the USB interface installed on the portable electronic device is generally small, the plug-in rubber plug used is easily lost. However, some existing rubber plugs that can be connected to the body cannot be automatically positioned when being pulled out, and the user must manually hold the rubber plug while using the USB interface, which may cause inconvenience to the user.

In view of this, it is necessary to provide an electronic device having a flip device, which is convenient for the user while protecting the USB interface.

An electronic device having a flip cover device includes a body and a flip cover disposed on the body, wherein the body defines a receiving cavity. The flip cover includes a pair of support arms, a boss extending at one end of the support arm, and a cylinder projecting outwardly at one end of the boss. The two opposite side walls of the receiving cavity are respectively formed with a rotating shaft hole, and the cylinder of the supporting arm is rotatably received in the rotating shaft hole. The two opposite side walls of the receiving cavity are respectively formed with a strip, and when the flip is closed, the first end of the boss engages with the clip to position the flip, when the flip opens to a predetermined position, The second end of the boss is engaged with the clip to position the flip cover.

Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a flip device for an electronic device, in which the USB flip cover can be positioned in a closed state and in a state of being opened at a maximum position, that is, in a closed state, the boss protrusion provided on the flip cover is engaged with the rear The bayonet mount allows the flip to remain in the closed state. When the flip cover is opened to the maximum position, the flip cover can be fixed at the maximum position by the clip protruding from the rear cover, and can not be closed by itself without being subjected to external force, which is convenient for the user to use.

The invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to FIG. 1 , an electronic device 1 having a flip device includes a body 10 and a flip cover 20 pivotally connected to the body 10 . The flip cover 20 is used to block the connection port of the external device such as the USB port and the power supply interface underneath.

Referring to FIGS. 2, 3 and 4, the body 10 includes a front case 11, a rear case 12 and a display panel 13. The display panel 13 is placed in a space formed by the front case 11 and the rear case 12. A receiving cavity 14 is formed on the main body 10. The inner side wall 10a of the receiving cavity 14 is provided with a connection port of an external device such as a USB interface and a power interface.

The flip cover 20 includes a pair of support arms 21, a boss 22 extending from one end of the support arm 21, and a cylinder 23 projecting outwardly from one end of the boss 22. Wherein, the boss 22 includes a boss protrusion 22a and a boss protrusion 22b which are substantially perpendicular to each other. The cylinder 23 extends on a side of the boss projection 22a away from the boss projection 22b. The support arm 21 is made of a material having elastic properties.

Rotating shaft holes 121 are formed in the two opposite side walls of the receiving cavity 14, and the cylinder 23 on the supporting arm 21 is rotatably received in the passing shaft hole 121 so that the flip cover 20 can be rotated relative to the rear case 12. In the present embodiment, a receiving groove 120 is defined in each of the side walls of the receiving cavity 14 . The rotating shaft hole 121 is formed on the side wall of the receiving groove 120 , and the cylinder 23 on the supporting arm 21 is received by the rotating shaft hole 121 . It is accommodated in the slot 120. The flip cover 20 can be rotated upward from the closed position to 90 degrees, and the degree of turning is determined according to the needs of the user.

In addition, a strip 122 is formed on the two opposite side walls of the receiving cavity 14 . In the embodiment, the strip 122 is formed at the opening of the receiving groove 120 , and the strip 122 and the receiving groove 120 are disposed. A bayonet 123 is formed between the side walls. When the flip cover 20 is closed, the boss projection 22a is inserted into the bayonet 123 and fixed.

Please refer to FIG. 5, which is a cross-sectional view of the flip device of the electronic device 1 when it is opened to a 90 degree state. When the flip cover 20 is opened and turned to 90 degrees, the support arm 21 is compressed, so that the boss protrusion 22a is disengaged from the bayonet 123, and the boss protrusion 22b formed on the support arm 21 and the card strip 122 on the rear case 12 are stuck. The merger is fixed.

When the flip cover 20 is in the closed state, the boss projection 22a is inserted into the bayonet 123 such that the flip cover 20 is positioned. When it is necessary to open the flip cover 20, a pressure is applied to the flip cover 20, so that the two support arms 21 of the flip cover 20 are retracted, so that the boss protrusion 22a is disengaged from the bayonet 123, and the positioning state of the flip cover 20 is released to be rotatable. When the flip cover 20 is rotated to the position where the angle is the largest, that is, at an angle of 90 degrees with the front face 10a, the boss protrusion 22b formed on the support arm 21 is engaged with the card bar 122, thereby holding the flip cover 20 therein. position.

With the above-described electronic device 1 having a flip device, the flip cover 20 can be positioned in a closed state and in a state of being opened at a maximum position, that is, in the closed state, the boss protrusion 22a provided on the flip cover 20 is engaged with the rear case 12 The bayonet 123 enables the flip cover 20 to remain in the closed state. When the flip cover 20 is opened to the maximum position, the flip cover 20 can be fixed at the maximum position by the bracket 122 on the rear cover 12, and cannot be closed by itself without being subjected to an external force. User-friendly.

It is to be understood that those skilled in the art can make various other changes and modifications in accordance with the technical concept of the present invention, and all such changes and modifications are intended to fall within the scope of the appended claims.
