Electronic device and detachable electronic kit

The present invention relates to an electronic device and a detachable electronic kit thereof, and more particularly to an electronic device that can be quickly assembled and disassembled and a detachable electronic kit.

With the advancement of technology, because of its simple operation and convenient portability, tablet PCs have gradually replaced the general notebook computers and become electronic products that users carry with them. Traditional tablet PCs do not have a keyboard-type input module, which means that in order to simplify the overall structure, traditional tablet computers generally use a touch screen as an input interface. However, the touch input interface is not suitable for the user to perform long-term operations, and many users are still accustomed to tapping the keyboard as the optimal input interface, so that an external input device suitable for a tablet computer is subsequently applied. . The conventional external keyboard device includes a pivoting structure for electrically connecting the connection terminal groups of the tablet computer and simultaneously carrying and loading the weight of the tablet computer. In order to achieve better load strength, the conventional pivoting structure protrudes from the housing of the external keyboard device, so the conventional external keyboard device has the disadvantages of bulky and inconvenient operation.

The present invention provides an electronic device that can be quickly assembled and disassembled and a detachable electronic kit thereof to solve the above problems.

Please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a schematic diagram of a detachable electronic kit 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The detachable electronic kit 10 includes a carrier 12. The carrier 12 can be a keyboard mechanism for carrying a tablet computer and providing a physical input device. The carrier 12 includes a main body 14, a carrier member 16 pivotally disposed on the main body 14, and two positioning pins 18 respectively disposed on the carrier member 16. Each of the positioning pins 18 includes a shaft body 181 and a fastening portion 182 on the shaft body 181. In addition, the detachable electronic kit 10 further includes an electronic device 20 that is detachably sleeved on the carrier 12. For example, the electronic device 20 can be a tablet computer. The user can select the touch interface of the tablet as an input interface, or can combine the tablet with the carrier 12 to have the operation mode of the notebook.

The electronic device 20 includes a housing 22. It is used to cover a plurality of electronic components, such as a memory, a central processing unit, a touch screen, etc., so that the electronic device 20 is a touch-sensitive computer device that can be used independently. In order to enable the electronic device 20 to be firmly engaged with the carrier 12, the surface of the housing 22 includes two receiving recesses 221 formed at positions adjacent to the sides of the housing 22 and corresponding to the positioning pins 18 of the carrier 12. The housing 22 has two through holes 223 formed in the side of the housing 22 for communicating with the corresponding receiving recesses 221 for socketing the positioning pins 18 of the carrier 12 . The electronic device 20 further includes two elastic members 24 respectively disposed in the corresponding receiving recesses 221 . When the positioning pin 18 extends into the receiving recess 221 via the through hole 223, the elastic member 24 is used to clamp the fastening portion 182 of the positioning pin 18, thereby restricting the movement of the positioning pin 18 relative to the housing 22, thereby causing the electronic device 20 to move. It can be stably engaged with the carrier 12. The electronic device 20 further includes a plurality of abutting blocks 26. An abutting block 26 is disposed in each of the accommodating recesses 221 adjacent to the two sides of the elastic member 24. In general, the elastic member 24 may be composed of an elastically deformable material, such as rubber or metal. If the amount of deformation of the elastic member 24 is greater than the design range, the elastic member 24 will not be able to tightly clamp the positioning pin 18 to cause the electronic device 20 Separating from the carrier 12, the abutting blocks 26 can be respectively disposed on the two sides of the elastic member 24. The abutting block 26 is used to abut the end surface of the elastic member 24 when the elastic member 24 is excessively twisted and deformed to prevent the elastic member. 24 The function of clamping the positioning pin 18 is lost because the amount of deformation is too large.

As shown in FIG. 1 , the carrier 16 of the carrier 12 can have a U-shaped structure. When the electronic device 20 is engaged with the carrier 12 , the U-shaped structure is used to partially accommodate the housing 22 of the electronic device 20 . The joint stability can be improved by increasing the contact area between the two. Additionally, the locating pin 18 can be disposed within the recessed region of the U-shaped structure such that the locating pin 18 rotates synchronously as the carrier member 16 pivots relative to the body 14. In other words, the positioning pin 18 is used as a bridging element when the electronic device 20 is engaged with the carrier 12. The electronic device 20 cannot rotate in any direction with respect to the positioning pin 18. The electronic device 20 utilizes the carrier 16 as a relative load. The mechanism of pivoting of the seat 12 is to adjust the angle of view of the electronic device 20 facing the user. In order to facilitate the sliding of the positioning pin 18 relative to the elastic member 24, the positioning pin 18 may have a plurality of oblique guiding surfaces 181 formed at the front ends of the positioning pins 18 and the opposite ends of the fastening portions 182, respectively.

Please refer to FIG. 2, which is a partial enlarged view of the electronic device 20 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Each of the elastic members 24 can include a fixed end 241 and two movable ends 243. The fixed end 241 is fixed to one wall surface of the accommodating recess 221 by a locking member such as a screw. Each movable end 243 can be connected to both ends of the fixed end 241 in an elastically bendable manner. As shown in FIG. 2, the movable end 243 can be a Z-shaped structure having two blocks that can be divided into a convex portion 245 and a concave portion 247. One end face of the projection 245 can be used to stop against the fastening portion 182 of the positioning pin 18. The recessed portion 247 is located at the other end surface of the opposite end portion 245 for contacting the end surface of the fastening portion 182, that is, the protruding portion 245 and the recessed portion 247 are respectively opposite to the opposite ends of the structural body of the Z-shaped structure. Block. The recessed portion 247 can be disposed around the periphery of the abutting block 26, so that when the amount of distortion of the elastic member 24 exceeds a predetermined range, the abutting block 26 can be pressed against the surface of the recessed portion 247 to prevent the Z-shaped structure from being excessive. Distorted.

Please refer to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3 . FIG. 3 is a group diagram of the detachable electronic kit 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The electronic device 20 may further include two magnetic elements 28 disposed at positions adjacent to the end sides of the housing 22, respectively. The carrier 12 may further include two magnetic components 30 disposed on the main body 14 at positions corresponding to the magnetic components 28. The magnetic component 28 and the magnetic component 30 can be two magnets or a magnet together with a magnetically responsive metal. When the electronic device 20 is mounted to the carrier 12, the magnetic component 28 and the magnetic component 30 can sense each other and generate magnetic attraction. In order to assist the clamping mechanism of the positioning pin 18 and the elastic member 24, the joint stability of the carrier 12 and the electronic device 20 is further improved.

Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a relatively simplified bonding technique that provides a detachable electronic kit for assembling or removing electronic devices and carriers in a quick and convenient manner. The detachable electronic kit of the present invention fixes the electronic device to the carrier of the carrier by the clamping mechanism of the elastic member and the positioning pin, and can selectively utilize the magnetic adsorption force to improve the joint stability, so The invention has the advantages of light weight, low cost and convenient assembly and quickness.
