First, please refer to Fig. 1. Fig. 1 is a schematic view showing an electronic device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the electronic device 1 is, for example, a 2 in 1 Laptop Computer, which is mainly composed of a display module 10 and a base 20, wherein the base 20 includes a body 21 And a connecting member 30, the connecting member 30 is pivotally connected to the body 21, and the display module 10 is detachably connected, so that the display module 10 and the connecting member 30 can rotate together with respect to the body 21 of the base 20. In the embodiment, the display module 10 is, for example, a tablet computer with a touch function, and the body 21 can be an input module including a keyboard K and a touch panel T. As can be seen from FIG. The engaging portion 31 of the connecting member 30 is correspondingly inserted into the opening 103 of the display module 10. The bottom side of the display module 10 can be combined with the base 20 and used together. The mechanism of bonding and separating between the display module 10 of the electronic device 1 and the connector 30 will be described in detail below.

Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2A-2B together. FIG. 2A is a partial cross-sectional view (perpendicular to the Z-axis direction) before the display module 10 is coupled with the connector 30, and FIG. 2B is a partial cross-sectional view of the display module 10. (perpendicular to the Y-axis direction), in order to more clearly present the actuation relationship between the elements, the guide 11 is omitted in FIG. 2A. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2A-2B, the display module 10 has a display surface 101 and a casing 102. The bottom side of the casing 102 is formed with an opening 103, and the engaging portion 31 has a curved surface R. a moving member 12 and an elastic member E (for example, a compression spring) are disposed in the display module 10, wherein the elastic member E is connected to the housing 102 and moving parts 12. It can be seen from FIG. 2B that a hollow guiding member 11 is disposed in the display module 10 and fixed to the housing 102, and the guiding member 11 is formed with an accommodating space B and inclined with respect to the display surface 101. At least one slope S. In the present embodiment, the moving member 12 is formed with the through holes 121, 122 and two pressing elements G (for example, balls or rollers) adjacent to the inclined surface S, wherein the pressing elements G are respectively disposed in the through holes 121, 122.

Then, please refer to the drawings 2A-2B and 3A-3B. When the engaging portion 31 is inserted into the display module 10 through the opening 103 in a first direction D1 (the second drawing), the engaging portion 31 will enter the capacity. The space B is disposed, and the arc surface R of the engaging portion 31 contacts the contact portion 123 of the moving member 12 and pushes the moving member 12 so that the moving member 12 can be along the housing 102 and the guiding member 11 of the display module 10. A second direction D2 (Fig. 3A-3B) moves and leaves the initial position X0 shown in Fig. 2A to reach a predetermined position X1. It should be understood that the displacement of the moving member 12 not only causes the elastic member E to be compressed in the second direction D2, but also the moving member 12 drives the pressing member G to be displaced along the inclined surface S (Fig. 3B), and faces the third direction D3. The engaging portion 31 is raised and clamped. In this way, when the engaging portion 31 is inserted into the display module 10, the pressing member 12 can be brought into close contact with the engaging portion 31 through the moving member 12, so that the connecting member 30 of the display module 10 and the base 20 can be stabilized. The combination of the ground and the user can prevent the display module 10 and the connector 30 from loosening or shaking when the display module 10 is rotated. In this embodiment, the first, second, and third directions D1, D2, and D3 are perpendicular to each other.

It should be noted that, as shown in FIG. 2A, the two pressing elements G are separated by a distance in the first direction D1. When the pressing member G abuts the engaging portion 31, since the two pressing members G are not at the same position in the first direction D1 (Y-axis coordinate), the pressing member G can more effectively clamp the engaging portion 31, Let display The module 10 and the connector 30 can be firmly coupled without being easily shaken. In an embodiment, the guiding member 11 and the housing 102 can also be integrally formed.

When the user wants to disengage the display module 10 from the connector 30, an external force opposite to the first direction D1 can be applied to pull the connector 30 away from the display module 10. In detail, when the engaging portion 31 of the connecting member 30 is detached from the display module 10 from the opening 103, the elastic member E that is compressed will apply an elastic restoring force to the moving member 12, so that the moving member 12 drives the pressing member G along The slope S is lowered (-Z-axis direction), and the moving member 12 is returned from the aforementioned predetermined position X1 to the initial position X0 as shown in FIG. 2A.

4A-4B and 5A-5B are schematic views showing the front and rear of the display module 10 and the connector 30 according to another embodiment of the present invention. The main difference between this embodiment and the foregoing embodiment is that the moving member 12' in this embodiment is different from the moving member 12 described above, and the pressing member G is not required to be provided. As shown in FIG. 4A-4B, the moving member 12' in this embodiment is formed with a pair of cantilever structures C and two L-shaped grooves 124, 125 adjacent to the cantilever structure C, wherein the cantilever structures C have Flexible and abuts the slope S. When the engaging portion 31 is inserted into the display module 10 in the first direction D1 (FIG. 4A), the arcuate surface R of the engaging portion 31 contacts the contact portion 123' of the moving member 12' and pushes the moving member 12 along the first The two-direction D2 displacement (Fig. 5A) causes the moving member 12 to move away from the initial position X0 to reach the predetermined position X1 (Fig. 5A, 5B), at which time the cantilever structure C moves along the inclined surface S and is bent in the third direction D3. The abutting portion 31 is abutted in the third direction D3 (Fig. 5B). As the foregoing embodiment discloses, the cantilever structure C closely abuts the engaging portion 31, so that the display module 10 and the connecting member 30 of the base 20 are firmly coupled.

It should be noted that the foregoing moving component 12 may also include only one. The perforation 121 (or 122), and only one pressing element G is disposed in one of the perforations 121 (or 122); the moving member 12' may also form only one cantilever structure C and one groove 124 (or 125) to save material. With assembly costs.

Fig. 6A is a partial schematic view (side view) showing the aforementioned connecting member 30. As shown in FIG. 6A, the engaging portion 31 has a trapezoidal structure H and an extending structure L connected to each other, wherein the curved surface R is formed at the end of the extended structure L, and the trapezoidal structure H and the extended structure L are on the Y-axis. The length of the directions is approximately equal. In addition, the extending structure L of the engaging portion 31 is thinner than the width of the trapezoidal structure H in the Z-axis direction, whereby the engaging portion 31 can be easily inserted into the accommodating space B via the extending structure L, so that the user can easily The assembly of the display module 10 and the connector 30 is performed. In addition, as shown in FIG. 6B, in another embodiment, the engaging portion 31 also has an elongated structure L having a long length in the Y-axis direction, wherein the length of the extending structure L in the Y-axis direction is larger than the trapezoidal structure H.
