Description
本發明是有關於一種電子裝置,且特別是有關於一種包含主顯示器與輔助顯示器的電子裝置。The present invention relates to an electronic device, and more particularly to an electronic device including a main display and an auxiliary display.
因筆記型電腦具備多工處理、高運算效能以及便於隨身攜帶等特點,已成為現代人不可或缺的工具。一般而言,筆記型電腦包括主機與顯示器,其中顯示器樞接主機,且主機上整合有鍵盤組。Because of the features of multi-tasking, high computing performance, and easy portability, notebook computers have become an indispensable tool for modern people. Generally speaking, a notebook computer includes a host and a display, wherein the display is pivotally connected to the host, and a keyboard set is integrated on the host.
為提高使用者操作上的靈活度,當前已有將輔助顯示器整合於主機上的筆記型電腦被提出。詳細而言,輔助顯示器與鍵盤組位於同一工作平面上,且輔助顯示器與鍵盤組並列設置。因輔助顯示器的角度與高度大多無法調整,對於使用者來說,其操作上較為不便,且眼睛容易感到疲勞。In order to increase the flexibility of the user's operation, a notebook computer that integrates an auxiliary display on the host has been proposed. In detail, the auxiliary display and the keyboard set are located on the same working plane, and the auxiliary display and the keyboard set are arranged side by side. Because the angle and height of the auxiliary display cannot be adjusted in most cases, it is more inconvenient for the user to operate, and the eyes are prone to fatigue.
本發明提供一種電子裝置,其具有極佳的操作便利性。The present invention provides an electronic device with excellent operation convenience.
本發明提出一種電子裝置,其包括主機、驅動機構、主顯示器以及輔助顯示器。主顯示器透過驅動機構連接主機。輔助顯示器位於主機與主顯示器之間。輔助顯示器具有樞接端與活動端,其中樞接端樞接主機,且活動端連接驅動機構。主顯示器用以相對於主機開合,並透過驅動機構同步帶動輔助顯示器抬升或下降。The present invention provides an electronic device, which includes a host, a driving mechanism, a main display, and an auxiliary display. The main display is connected to the host through the drive mechanism. The auxiliary display is located between the host and the main display. The auxiliary display has a pivot end and a movable end, wherein the pivot end is pivotally connected to the host, and the movable end is connected to the driving mechanism. The main display is used for opening and closing relative to the main machine, and synchronously drives the auxiliary display to rise or fall through the driving mechanism.
基於上述,本發明的電子裝置整合有輔助顯示器,且輔助顯示器的角度與高度可調,以便於使用者操作輔助顯示器,並提高使用者觀看輔助顯示器的舒適性。Based on the above, the electronic device of the present invention is integrated with an auxiliary display, and the angle and height of the auxiliary display are adjustable, so that the user can operate the auxiliary display and improve the user's comfort when viewing the auxiliary display.
為讓本發明的上述特徵和優點能更明顯易懂,下文特舉實施例,並配合所附圖式作詳細說明如下。In order to make the above-mentioned features and advantages of the present invention more comprehensible, the following specific embodiments are described in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
圖1A是本發明一實施例的電子裝置處於閉合狀態下的示意圖。圖1B是圖1A的電子裝置的側視示意圖。請參考圖1A與圖1B,在本實施例中,電子裝置100可為筆記型電腦,其包括主機110、驅動機構120、主顯示器130以及輔助顯示器140。主顯示器130透過驅動機構120連接主機110,且主顯示器130具有相對於主機110旋轉的運動自由度,以相對於主機110開合。FIG. 1A is a schematic diagram of an electronic device in a closed state according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1B is a schematic side view of the electronic device of FIG. 1A. 1A and 1B, in this embodiment, the
在圖1B所示的閉合狀態下,主顯示器130蓋合於主機110上,且輔助顯示器140位於主顯示器130與主機110之間。另一方面,主顯示器130的顯示面130a面對輔助顯示器140的顯示面140a,且主顯示器130的顯示面130a與輔助顯示器140的顯示面140a皆隱藏於內,故能避免外力或外物對主顯示器130的顯示面130a與輔助顯示器140的顯示面140a造成損傷。In the closed state shown in FIG. 1B, the
在本實施例中,輔助顯示器140具有樞接端141與活動端142,其中樞接端141樞接主機110,且作為輔助顯示器140的旋轉支點。活動端142作為輔助顯示器140的受力點,驅動機構120用以帶動活動端142,以使輔助顯示器140相對於主機110旋轉並抬升,或使輔助顯示器140相對於主機110旋轉並下降。另一方面,樞接端141整合有扭力配件,故能防止輔助顯示器140瞬間墜落。In this embodiment, the
圖2A是圖1A的電子裝置轉換至第一展開狀態的示意圖。圖2B是圖2A的電子裝置的側視示意圖。請參考圖1B、圖2A以及圖2B,在本實施例中,活動端142連接驅動機構120,當主顯示器130旋轉遠離主機110時,主顯示器130透過驅動機構120同步帶動活動端142,以使輔助顯示器140相對於主機110旋轉並抬升。相反地,當主顯示器130旋轉靠近主機110時,主顯示器130透過驅動機構120同步帶動活動端142,以使輔助顯示器140相對於主機110旋轉並下降。FIG. 2A is a schematic diagram of the electronic device in FIG. 1A being converted to a first unfolded state. FIG. 2B is a schematic side view of the electronic device of FIG. 2A. Please refer to FIGS. 1B, 2A, and 2B. In this embodiment, the
在主顯示器130相對於主機110開合的過程中,驅動機構120可同步帶動輔助顯示器140抬升或下降。因此,對於使用者來說,電子裝置100的操作簡易直覺。另一方面,因輔助顯示器140的角度與高度可調,不僅有助於提高使用者操作輔助顯示器140的便利性,也有助於提高使用者觀看輔助顯示器140的舒適性。When the
在本實施例中,電子裝置100更包括鍵盤組150,其中輔助顯示器140與鍵盤組150並列設置,且樞接端141位於活動端142與鍵盤組150之間。另一方面,主機110具有凹槽110a,用以容納輔助顯示器140,故有助於提高電子裝置100的外觀的完整性。進一步而言,凹槽110a並列於鍵盤組150,且鍵盤組150具有操作面151。當輔助顯示器140設置於凹槽110a內時,輔助顯示器140的顯示面140a共平面於鍵盤組150的操作面151,或輔助顯示器140的顯示面140a略低於鍵盤組150的操作面151,避免主顯示器130擠壓到輔助顯示器140的顯示面140a。In this embodiment, the
如圖1B與圖2B所示,當主顯示器130旋轉遠離主機110時,受驅動機構120帶動的輔助顯示器140同步旋轉,輔助顯示器140相對於主機110旋轉並移出凹槽110a,但樞接端141仍位在凹槽110a內。在自圖1B所示的閉合狀態轉換至圖2B所示的第一展開狀態的過程中,主顯示器130的旋轉方向反向於輔助顯示器140的旋轉方向。另一方面,在圖2B所示第一展開狀態下,輔助顯示器140與凹槽110a的底面之間夾有第一夾角A1。As shown in FIGS. 1B and 2B, when the
請參考圖1B、圖2A以及圖2B,在本實施例中,驅動機構120包括齒輪組121與連桿組122,且設置於主顯示器130、主機110以及輔助顯示器140之間。主顯示器130連接齒輪組121,且連桿組122連接齒輪組121與輔助顯示器140的活動端142。詳細而言,齒輪組121包括第一齒輪121a、多個輔助齒輪121b以及第二齒輪121c,其中這些輔助齒輪121b的數量為奇數個,且排列於第一齒輪121a與第二齒輪121c之間。這些輔助齒輪121b彼此嚙接,第一齒輪121a嚙接這些輔助齒輪121b的其一,且第二齒輪121c嚙接這些輔助齒輪121b的另一。由於這些輔助齒輪121b的數量為奇數個,因此第一齒輪121a的旋轉方向同向於第二齒輪121c的旋轉方向。Please refer to FIG. 1B, FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B. In this embodiment, the
在本實施例中,主顯示器130連接第一齒輪121a,且連桿組122連接第二齒輪121c。另一方面,主顯示器130可藉由轉軸穿設固定於第一齒輪121a,且轉軸上整合有扭力配件,用以防止主顯示器130瞬間墜落。In this embodiment, the
如圖1B與圖2B所示,當主顯示器130旋轉遠離主機110時,第一齒輪121a同步旋轉並帶動這些輔助齒輪121b,且這些輔助齒輪121b帶動第二齒輪121c旋轉。此時,第二齒輪121c帶動連桿組122旋轉,以使連桿組122帶動輔助顯示器140相對於主機110旋轉並抬升。As shown in FIGS. 1B and 2B, when the
在本實施例中,連桿組122包括第一連桿122a與第二連桿122b,且設置於主機110與輔助顯示器140之間。第一連桿122a的一端連接齒輪組121,其中第一連桿122a的另一端樞接第二連桿122b的一端,且第二連桿122b的另一端樞接輔助顯示器140的活動端142。In this embodiment, the connecting
進一步而言,第一連桿122a的一端連接第二齒輪121c,故第一連桿122a的旋轉方向同向於主顯示器130的旋轉方向。另一方面,當主顯示器130旋轉遠離主機110時,第一齒輪121a同步旋轉並帶動這些輔助齒輪121b,且這些輔助齒輪121b帶動第二齒輪121c旋轉。此時,第二齒輪121c帶動第一連桿122a旋轉,並透過第一連桿122a與第二連桿122b抬升輔助顯示器140。在第一連桿122a與第二連桿122b抬升輔助顯示器140的過程中,第一連桿122a與第二連桿122b相對旋轉,其中第一連桿122a的旋轉方向反向於第二連桿122b的旋轉方向,且第一連桿122a與第二連桿122b之間的夾角(即面向齒輪組121或主顯示器130的夾角)持續增加。Furthermore, one end of the
圖3A是圖2A的電子裝置轉換至第二展開狀態的示意圖。圖3B是圖3A的電子裝置的側視示意圖。在圖2B所示第一展開狀態下,第一連桿122a與第二連桿122b形成一直線。當主顯示器130持續旋轉遠離主機110時,第一連桿122a相對於主機110旋轉,且主顯示器130的旋轉方向同向於第一連桿122a的旋轉方向。同時,被帶動的第二連桿122b相對於第一連桿122a旋轉,且第二連桿122b的旋轉方向反向於第一連桿122a的旋轉方向。此時,第二連桿122b移動靠近主機110,使得輔助顯示器140略微下沉,以避免遮擋到主顯示器130的顯示面130a,如圖3A與圖3B所示。FIG. 3A is a schematic diagram of the electronic device in FIG. 2A being converted to a second unfolded state. FIG. 3B is a schematic side view of the electronic device of FIG. 3A. In the first unfolded state shown in FIG. 2B, the
在圖3B所示第二展開狀態下,輔助顯示器140與凹槽110a的底面之間夾有第二夾角A2,且第二夾角A2小於第一夾角A1。在圖2B所示第一展開狀態下,輔助顯示器140具有最大抬升角度與最大抬升高度。In the second unfolded state shown in FIG. 3B, a second included angle A2 is sandwiched between the
在自圖1B所示的閉合狀態轉換至圖2B所示的第一展開狀態的過程中,主顯示器130與輔助顯示器140同步旋轉遠離主機110,且主顯示器130的旋轉方向反向於輔助顯示器140的旋轉方向。在自圖2B所示的第一展開狀態轉換至圖3B所示的第二展開狀態的過程中,主顯示器130持續旋轉遠離主機110,但輔助顯示器140旋轉靠近主機110,且主顯示器130的旋轉方向同向於輔助顯示器140的旋轉方向。In the process of transitioning from the closed state shown in FIG. 1B to the first expanded state shown in FIG. 2B, the
綜上所述,本發明的電子裝置整合有輔助顯示器,且輔助顯示器的角度與高度可調,以便於使用者操作輔助顯示器,並提高使用者觀看輔助顯示器的舒適性。進一步而言,在主顯示器相對於主機開合的過程中,主顯示器可透過驅動機構同步帶動輔助顯示器抬升或下降,故操作簡易直覺。也就是說,使用者無須額外手動調整輔助顯示器的角度與高度。In summary, the electronic device of the present invention is integrated with an auxiliary display, and the angle and height of the auxiliary display are adjustable, so that the user can operate the auxiliary display and improve the user's comfort when viewing the auxiliary display. Furthermore, during the opening and closing process of the main display relative to the main unit, the main display can synchronously drive the auxiliary display up or down through the driving mechanism, so the operation is simple and intuitive. In other words, the user does not need to manually adjust the angle and height of the auxiliary display.
雖然本發明已以實施例揭露如上,然其並非用以限定本發明,任何所屬技術領域中具有通常知識者,在不脫離本發明的精神和範圍內,當可作些許的更動與潤飾,故本發明的保護範圍當視後附的申請專利範圍所界定者為準。Although the present invention has been disclosed in the above embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone with ordinary knowledge in the relevant technical field can make some changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention shall be subject to those defined by the attached patent application scope.
