圖1為本發明的一種電子裝置閉合時的示意圖。請參考圖1,本實施例的電子裝置10包括一第一機體11、一第二機體12、一樞軸13、一彈性件14以及一包覆模組15。FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an electronic device of the present invention when it is closed. Referring to FIG. 1 , the
上述的電子裝置10為筆記型電腦,其第一機體11具有顯示螢幕,而第二機體12具有系統,其中樞軸13連接在第一機體11以及第二機體12之間,以使第一機體11及第二機體12能夠相對開闔。彈性件14設置於第二機體12內,且彈性件14具有形變能力。具體地說,彈性件14為彈簧,且其一末端固定到第二機體12。在本實施例中,彈性件14以其軸向A平行於水平方向H地擺置於第二機體12內。The above-mentioned
包覆模組15連接在第一機體11的外側面以及彈性件14之間,其中包覆模組15隨著第一機體11相對第二機體12的開闔而能夠拉動彈性件14,以使彈性件14發生形變。The
具體而言,包覆模組15包括一軟材151以及一滑塊152。軟材151具有位於相對側的一第一末端1511以及一第二末端1512,其中第一末端1511固定地連接在第一機體11的外側面;即,軟材151的第一末端1511不會相對第一機體11移動。第二末端1512連接至設置在第二機體12內的滑塊152,且滑塊152還連接至彈性件14。確切地說,滑塊152連接在軟材151的第二末端1512以及彈性件14之間,且滑塊152能夠相對第二機體12水平地線性移動。隨著第一機體11及第二機體12的相對開闔,軟材151因為第一機體11以及第二機體12彼此間的開闔角度而造成的鬆或緊的程度會改變滑塊152在第二機體12內的位置。Specifically, the
請繼續參考圖1,在本實施例中,軟材151至少覆蓋第一機體11的外側面的局部以及樞軸13的外側。第二機體12具有鄰近樞軸13設置的一開口121,且軟材151經由開口121而進入第二機體12內以與設置在第一機體11內的滑塊152連接。簡單地說,在本實施例的電子裝置10中,軟材151並未包覆第二機體12的外側面。在另一實施例,第一機體11與第二機體12均具有顯示螢幕,本發明不以此為限。Please continue to refer to FIG. 1 , in this embodiment, the
圖2為另一實施例的電子裝置的示意圖。請參考圖2,在另一種實施方式中,上述的第二機體22所具有的開口221與樞軸13相隔一段距離地設置;換言之,開口221的設置位置離第二機體22的中間處較近地設置,因此,軟材151除了覆蓋第一機體11的外側面的局部以及樞軸13的外側之外,還更覆蓋第二機體22的外側面的局部。FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of an electronic device according to another embodiment. Referring to FIG. 2 , in another embodiment, the opening 221 of the
承上述,軟材151可為一層的形式,其中軟材151的材質可選用真皮、布或橡膠。圖3為軟材的另一種實施方式的示意圖。請參考圖3,在如圖3的實施方式中,軟材351可利用多層的方式形成。具體而言,可使軟材351包括一第一層3511、一第二層3512以及一第三層3513,其中第三層3513嵌入在第一層3511以及第二層3512之間,且第三層3513的硬度大於第一層3511及第二層3512的硬度。例如,第一層3511及第二層3512的材質為真皮或布,而第三層3513的材質可為橡膠,且第三層3513具有彈性。第三層3513使用較硬且具有彈性的材質形成,可加強軟材151的韌性。使第一機體11相對第二機體12打開的過程中,軟材351不會產生過多的拉伸形變,確保軟材351對樞軸13的保護。As mentioned above, the
圖4A至圖4D為第一機體相對第二機體打開不同角度的示意圖。請依序參考圖1及圖4A至圖4D。4A to 4D are schematic diagrams illustrating that the first body is opened at different angles relative to the second body. Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIGS. 4A to 4D in sequence.
如圖1所示的狀態,第一機體11相對第二機體12關閉,而由於軟材151的第一末端1511固定在第一機體11的外側面上,軟材151的第二末端1512固定在滑塊152,且滑塊152又受到彈性件14施加應力(即,彈性恢復力),因此軟材151維持在平整狀態。此處所指的平整狀態是指軟材151受到拉扯而伸展使其組織較緊,而又同時因為彈性件14持續施加應力於滑塊152,使得軟材151在被拉伸的狀態下仍能夠維持緊密地貼合於第一機體11的外側面的局部。In the state shown in FIG. 1 , the
接著請依序參考圖4A~圖4D,其中圖4A中第一機體11相對第二機體12打開的角度例如為60度、圖4B中第一機體11相對第二機體12打開的角度例如為90度、圖4C中第一機體11相對第二機體12打開的角度例如為120度,且圖4D中第一機體11相對第二機體12打開的角度例如為180度。隨著第一機體11相對第二機體12打開的角度漸大,固定在第一機體11的外側面上的軟材151的第一末端1511並不會改變位置,但是對應樞軸13處的軟材151容易因為第一機體11相對第二機體12打開的角度漸變而可能產生彎折凸起;此時,軟材151的第二末端1512拉扯滑塊152的力變得相對小,但連接在滑塊152以及第二機體12內的彈性件14提供給滑塊152的應力(即,彈簧的彈性恢復力)能夠即時改變滑塊152在第二機體12內的位置同時拉緊軟材151,以減少在軟材151的形變過程中形成凸起的機率。Next, please refer to FIGS. 4A to 4D in sequence, wherein the opening angle of the
隨著第一機體11相對第二機體12的角度固定,軟材151、滑塊152及彈性件14重新達到力平衡之後,軟材151依舊緊密地貼合於第一機體11的外側面,維持在平整狀態。As the angle of the
特別的是,彈性件14形變而產生的應力需小於樞軸13的最小扭力;如此一來,不僅可以使包覆模組15維持在平整狀態(即軟材151緊密地貼合於第一機體11的外側面的狀態)的情況下,還可以防止彈性件14形變而產生的應力大於樞軸13的最小扭力而造成在預期之外的第一機體11相對於第二機體12的開或闔,引發電子裝置10倒傾或誤傷使用者等狀況。In particular, the stress generated by the deformation of the
圖5為圖1的第二機體內部的局部示意圖。請參考圖5,附帶一提,前述提到隨著第一機體11相對第二機體12打開的角度漸大,對應樞軸13處的軟材151容易因為第一機體11相對第二機體12打開的角度漸變而容易產生彎折凸起。為了防止彎折凸起的形成,可更於第二機體12內部面對軟材151的位置設置有一滑軌122,而包覆模組15還包括貼附在軟材151的一梳狀件16,其中梳狀件16與滑軌122對應設置。當第一機體11及第二機體12相對開闔而軟材151相對第二機體12滑動時,通過使梳狀件16和與其相對應的滑軌122互相嵌合彼此導引,而能夠防止軟材151堆疊卡住在第二機體12內,同時維持軟材151的表面平整性。FIG. 5 is a partial schematic view of the interior of the second body of FIG. 1 . Please refer to FIG. 5 . Incidentally, as mentioned above, as the opening angle of the
綜上所述,本發明的電子裝置,在第一機體的至少局部表面以包覆模組裝飾,且此包覆模組可客製化,以達到品牌宣傳或個人個性表達等優點。To sum up, the electronic device of the present invention is decorated with a covering module on at least a part of the surface of the first body, and the covering module can be customized to achieve the advantages of brand promotion or personal expression.
此外,將包覆模組以軟材及滑塊此兩種組件結合以形成,並且通過使包覆模組的其中一側邊連接至彈性件,因此通過彈性件的施加在包覆模組的應力而能夠讓包覆模組保持在平整狀態且保持包覆模組的外觀平整減少彎折凸起。In addition, the covering module is formed by combining the two components of the soft material and the slider, and one side of the covering module is connected to the elastic member, so the elastic member is applied to the covering module. The stress can keep the cladding module in a flat state and keep the appearance of the cladding module flat and reduce bending protrusions.
再者,彈性件因為形變而產生的應力小於樞軸的最小扭力,因此可以防止電子裝置倒傾。Furthermore, the stress generated by the elastic member due to the deformation is less than the minimum torsion force of the pivot, so the electronic device can be prevented from tipping over.
