Description

Portable electronic device

The invention relates to a portable electronic device, in particular to a portable electronic device with a pivotal structure.

A conventional notebook computer includes a back cover and a body, and the back cover pivots the body. The liquid crystal display module is disposed on the back cover. Among the conventional notebook computers, the liquid crystal display module is mainly fixed to the back cover of the notebook computer by a metal bracket through a screw lock. At the same time, a pivoting mechanism is provided on the back cover for connecting the body. The pivoting mechanism is also fixed in the back cover by means of a screw lock.

However, due to the demand for ultra-thin notebooks, the thickness of the back cover of the notebook computer needs to be lower than the previous design standards. Therefore, the conventional metal brackets and screw locking methods have not been applied to today's super Thin notebook design.

The present invention is a portable electronic device provided to solve the problems of the prior art, comprising a first component and a second component. The second component pivotally connects the first component. The second component includes a back cover, a display module, and a link assembly. The display module is attached to the back cover in a pasting manner. The joint assembly includes a snap member and a pivot member, wherein the snap member is coupled to the back cover, and the pivot member is coupled to the first member.

In the embodiment of the present invention, since the screw and the metal are omitted The bracket can effectively reduce the thickness of the portable electronic device. At the same time, due to the use of snap-fit and adhesive assembly, the assembly process can be simplified and production efficiency can be increased.

Fig. 2A shows an exploded view of the second member 20, and Fig. 2B shows a combined view of the second member 20. Referring to FIGS. 2A and 2B , the second component 20 includes a back cover 21 , a display module 22 , a connecting component 23 , and a cushioning material 24 . The display module 22 is disposed on the back cover 21 in a pasting manner. The cushioning material 24 The buffer material 24 is disposed between the back cover 21 and the display module 22 . The connecting component 23 includes a latching member 25 and a pivoting member 26, wherein the latching member 25 is coupled to the back cover 21, and the pivoting member 26 is coupled to the first component 10.

Fig. 3 shows a partial structure of the back cover 21, and Fig. 4 shows a partial structure of the engaging member 25. (In Fig. 4, the engaging member 25 is turned 180 degrees to clearly show the structure thereof). Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, the back cover 21 includes two first engaging structures 211. The first engaging structures 211 are respectively located at two corners of the back cover, and the first engaging structures 211 are opposite to each other. The first engaging portion 251 is located at two corners of the engaging member 25, and the first engaging portions 251 are opposite to each other, wherein the first engaging portion The structures 211 are respectively inserted into the first engaging portions 251 along a first direction X.

Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, each of the first engaging structures 211 includes a cover portion 21A and a protruding portion 21B. The protruding portion 21B is formed inside the cover portion 21A, and each of the first engaging portions 251 includes a first engaging portion 251. The recessed portion 25A and the recessed portion 25B are located in the recessed portion 25A. The cover portion 21A is coupled to the recessed portion 25A. The protruding portion 21B is coupled to the recessed portion 25B (refer to FIG. 5A). In this embodiment, the projection 21B has a flat shape.

Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, the back cover 21 includes a plurality of second engaging structures 212. The second engaging structures 212 are aligned in the second direction Y. The engaging members 25 include a plurality of The second engaging portion 252 is aligned with the engaging member 25 in the second direction. The second engaging structures 212 respectively abut the second engaging portions 252. (With reference to Figure 5B). In this embodiment, the second engaging structure 212 has an L-shaped cross section. The second engaging portion 252 has a flat shape.

Referring to Figures 3 and 4, the back cover 21 includes two third engaging structures 213. The third engaging structures 213 are respectively located at two sides of the back cover 21, and the engaging member 25 includes two third engaging portions. 253, the third engaging portions 253 are respectively located at two sides of the engaging member 25, wherein the third engaging structure 213 and the third engaging portions 253 all extend along the first direction X, and the like The third engaging structure 213 abuts against the third engaging portions 253 (refer to FIG. 5C for matching).
