The portable electronic device of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

Referring to FIG. 1 , a portable electronic device 200 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a body 21 , a hinge 22 , a cover 23 , and a keyboard 25 . In the embodiment, the portable electronic device 200 is a notebook computer. Of course, the portable electronic device 200 can also be a personal digital assistant, a mobile phone, or the like. The hinge 22 connects the body 21 and the cover 23 to pivotally connect the cover 23 to one end of the body 21. The cover 23 has a display screen 231.

Referring to FIG. 2 , the body 21 is provided with a receiving slot 211 for receiving the keyboard 25 relative to the surface of the display screen 231 of the cover 23 . The accommodating groove 211 has two opposite first sidewalls 2113 and a second sidewall 2115 connecting the two first sidewalls 2113. The receiving slot 211 has a mounting opening 2111, and the mounting opening 2111 is located at one end of the receiving slot 211 away from the second sidewall 2115. The accommodating groove 211 defines an elongated slot 213 on each of the first sidewalls 2113, and a socket 215 is defined in the second sidewall 2115.

The keyboard 25 is generally square. The keyboard 25 is provided at one end of the hinge 22 with a plug 251 adapted to the socket 21 of the body 21. The keyboard 25 is formed at each of its two sides with a sliding protrusion 253 corresponding to the sliding slot 213. The plug 251 of the keyboard 25 can be electrically inserted into the jack 215 to enable information transmission between the keyboard 25 and the body 21. The sliding protrusion 253 cooperates with the sliding groove 213 to slide the keyboard 25 relative to the body 21. To replace the keyboard 25, the keyboard 25 can be pulled outward, and the sliding protrusion 253 slides in the sliding slot 213. At the same time, the plug 251 is disengaged from the insertion hole 215, so that the keyboard 25 can be disengaged from the mounting opening 2111. Thereby, the keyboard 25 can be removed. Then, another new keyboard 25 is inserted into the receiving slot 211 from the mounting opening 2111 of the receiving slot 211 of the body 21 to complete the replacement.

In order to increase the stability of the keyboard 25, the surface of the keyboard 25 in contact with the bottom wall of the receiving slot 211 can be designed as a rough surface, and the keyboard 25 can be fixed to the capacity by the friction between the keyboard 25 and the bottom wall of the receiving slot 211. The slot 211 is placed.

The keyboard 25 of the portable electronic device 200 can be detached from the body 21 or mounted on the body 21 via the mounting opening 2111, which is convenient to replace. The accommodating slot 211 is formed on the surface of the main body 21. When the keyboard 25 is replaced, the internal components of the portable electronic device 200, such as a hard disk and a motherboard, are not exposed, and dust does not enter the portable electronic device 200. So that its internal components are protected.

Referring to FIG. 3 , the portable electronic device 300 of the second embodiment of the present invention includes a body 31 , a hinge 32 , a cover 33 , and a keyboard 35 . The body 31 defines a receiving slot 311 for receiving the keyboard 35 . The 311 has a fitting opening 3111. Portable electronic device 300 and The portable electronic device 200 is similar in that the portable electronic device 300 further includes a mounting cover 317 that is rotatably disposed on a side of the body 31 adjacent to the mounting opening 3111. The assembly port cover 317 is formed in a square shape, and a resilient clamping piece 3171 is disposed at each end thereof. Each of the clamping pieces 3171 defines an engaging hole 3173. A latching protrusion 318 corresponding to the engaging hole 3173 is formed on the outer wall of the two sides of the body 31. When the keyboard 25 is placed in the accommodating slot 311, the mounting cover 317 is rotated, and the latching protrusion 318 abuts the latching piece 3171 to elastically deform and snap into the engaging hole 3173, thereby fixing the mounting opening cover 317. On the body 31, the keyboard 35 is prevented from coming off the mounting opening 3111. The mounting opening cover 317 is rotated outwardly, and the holding protrusion 318 presses the holding piece 3171 to elastically deform, so that the holding protrusion 318 is disengaged from the engaging hole 3173, and the mounting opening 3111 is opened, and the keyboard 25 can be removed from the receiving slot 311. Slide inside to remove. A crescent-shaped operation slot 255 can also be formed on the keyboard 35 to facilitate the user to hold the operation slot 255 and pull the keyboard 35 out. Of course, the operation slot 255 can also be opened on the keyboard 25 of the portable electronic device 200.

Referring to FIG. 4, the portable electronic device 400 of the third embodiment of the present invention is similar to the portable electronic device 200, and includes a body 41, a hinge 42, a cover 43 and a keyboard 45. The body 41 is provided with a capacity for accommodating the keyboard 45. The groove 411 is provided, and the receiving groove 411 has a fitting opening 4111. The plug 451 of the keyboard 45 is inserted into the jack 415. The portable electronic device 400 is different from the portable electronic device 200 in that the keyboard 45 further includes two elastic hooks 453. The two hooks 453 are disposed on the keyboard 45 and have one end of the plug 451 and are respectively located at two sides of the plug 451. Two slots 419 corresponding to the two hooks 453 are respectively disposed on the sidewalls of the receiving slots 411, and the two slots 419 are respectively located at two sides of the receptacle 415. The card slot 419 has a substantially "L" shape, and a retaining portion 4191 is formed on a side wall thereof. When the keyboard 45 is assembled to the body 41, the hook 453 can be elastically deformed into the slot 419 and engaged with the latching portion 4191, thereby fixing the keyboard 45 to the body 41. To replace the keyboard 45, the keyboard 45 can be pulled outward, and the hook 453 is elastically deformed and released from the card slot 419, and then a new one. The keyboard 45 is inserted into the accommodating groove 411 from the mounting opening 4111.

It can be understood that the sliding protrusion 253 can also be disposed on the body 21, and accordingly, the sliding slot 213 is formed on the keyboard 25, and the same effect can be achieved.

It can be understood that the manner in which the cover body 23 is disposed on the body 21 is not limited to pivoting, and the cover body 23 can also be slidably disposed on the body 21, such as a slide phone.

In summary, the present invention complies with the requirements of the invention patent and submits a patent application according to law.
