Description
本發明是有關於一種折疊式電子裝置,且特別是有關於一種具有抬升機構的折疊式電子裝置。 The present invention relates to a foldable electronic device, and in particular to a foldable electronic device with a lifting mechanism.
折疊式電子裝置,例如筆記型電腦,因存在著便於攜帶及廣泛應用性的優點,而有為數眾多的使用者。傳統的折疊式電子裝置,係單純使二機體透過一樞軸結構相互樞接,而由於折疊式電子裝置體積較小,故折疊式電子裝置在經過展開後螢幕所在的高度並不高,並不利於使用者觀看。因此,市場上遂出現具有抬升機構的折疊式電子裝置。 Foldable electronic devices, such as notebook computers, have a large number of users due to their advantages of portability and wide application. Traditional foldable electronic devices simply allow two bodies to be pivoted to each other through a pivot structure. Since foldable electronic devices are small in size, the height of the screen of the foldable electronic device after unfolding is not very high, which is not conducive to for users to view. Therefore, foldable electronic devices with lifting mechanisms appear on the market.
圖1是習知的折疊式電子裝置的示意圖。需說明的是,為求清晰,圖1以較誇張的比例繪製抬升機構13,實際於產品中,第一樞點P1與第四樞點P2並非有如此大的間距。如圖1所示,折疊式電子裝置10包括一第一機體11、一第二機體12以及一抬升機構13,其中第二機體12透過抬升機構13可動地設置於第一機體11。抬升機構13為一四連桿機構,包括依序樞接的一第一連桿13a、一第二連桿13b、一第三連桿13c及一第四連桿13d,其
中抬升機構13界定一第一樞點P1、一第二樞點P2、一第三樞點P3及一第四樞點P。第一連桿13a設置於第一機體11,第二連桿13b透過第一樞點P1樞接第一連桿13a,第三連桿13c透過第二樞點P2樞接第二連桿13b,第四連桿13d透過第三樞點P3樞接第一連桿13a,且第四連桿13d透過第四樞點P4樞接第三連桿13c。然而,在追求折疊式電子裝置10薄型化及窄邊框的前提下,將使第二樞點P2及第四樞點P4之間的距離過近,當第二機體12受力而相對於第一機體11開啟至特定角度時,第二機體12施加於第四連桿13d的外力F將會同時通過第二樞點P2及第四樞點P4,使得抬升機構13卡死而無法作動,故第二機體12無法進一步相對於第一機體11展開。
Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a conventional foldable electronic device. It should be noted that, for the sake of clarity, the
因此,現有的折疊式電子裝置,在採用上述抬升機構13的情況下,由於第二樞點P2及第四樞點P4的間距不能過近,進而導致了抬升機構13占據了第二機體12較多的空間,故第二機體12無法有效地窄邊框,如此並不利於折疊式電子裝置10的薄型化,此外,若拉近第二樞點P2及第四樞點P4之間的距離,雖可有效達到第二機體12的窄邊框及折疊式電子裝置10的薄型化,卻會造成抬升機構13在上述的死點卡死而無法作動,如何在實現第二機體12的窄邊框及折疊式電子裝置10的薄型化的同時亦能兼顧第二機體12的順利抬升及順暢開啟,為本領域亟待解決的重要課題。

In addition to being able to achieve In addition to the effect of raising the second body to an ergonomic height and enabling the second body to be opened smoothly during the unfolding process relative to the first body, a shorter third link can also be used to reduce the need for the second body. The volume occupied by the three-link system is conducive to the thinning of foldable electronic devices.

在第二機體120如圖2及圖5所示相對於第一機體110閉合下,當第二機體120受力而依序經過圖5至圖9的過程最終如圖3及圖9所示相對於第一機體110展開時,第二機體120透過第三連桿133驅動第二桿件134b相對於第一桿件134a旋轉一角度θ1,由於第四連桿134事先保留了使第二桿件134b能相對於第一桿件134a旋轉的裕度,如此能避免抬升機構130卡死而無法作動,除了能夠達到使第二機體120抬升高度而符合人體工學的效用,以及能夠使第二機體120在相對於第一機體110展開的過程能夠順暢開啟的效用外,還能夠採用長度更短的第三連桿133,減少第三連桿133所占用的體積,而有助於兼顧折疊式電子裝置100的薄型化。

請參考圖3、圖4、圖5及圖9,為便於使第二機體120在相對於第一機體110展開的過程中可以隨時固定於任意位置,第一轉軸135及第二轉軸136的其中一者或二者可以採用一扭力

另一方面,第二連桿132具有一第一止擋部132a,第一轉軸135具有在位置上對應於第一止擋部132a的一第二止擋部132b,第二連桿132具有一第三止擋部135a,且第二轉軸136具有在位置上對應於第三止擋部135a的一第四止擋部136a,以有效限制第二機體120相對於第一機體110開啟的最大角度。
On the other hand, the
請參考圖4及圖5,為明確說明抬升機構130的作動原理,在此將抬升機構130界定出一第一樞點P1、一第二樞點P2、一第三樞點P3、一第四樞點P4以及一第五樞點P5。
Please refer to Figures 4 and 5. In order to clearly explain the operating principle of the
第一連桿131及第二連桿132透過第一樞點P1相互樞接,第二連桿132及第三連桿133透過第二樞點P2相互樞接,第一連桿131及第一桿件134a透過第三樞點P3相互樞接,第三連桿133及第二桿件134b透過第四樞點P4相互樞接,且第一桿件134a及第二桿件134b透過第五樞點P5相互樞接。

請參考圖4、圖5及圖6,第二機體120受力而由圖5所
示的模式相對於第一機體110展開至圖6所示的模式,此時例如第二機體120相對於第一機體110展開了8~12度的角度區間,抬升機構130即會到達機構運作的死點,外力F的作用同時通過第二樞點P2及第四樞點P4。在第二機體120受力而由圖6所示的模式相對於第一機體110展開至圖7所示的模式的過程當中,第二機體120透過第三連桿133推擠第二桿件134b,以使第二桿件134b因第三連桿133及第一桿件134a的擠壓而以第五樞點P5為圓心相對於第一桿件134a旋轉角度θ1,由於第四連桿134事先保留了使第二桿件134b能相對於第一桿件134a旋轉的裕度,如此能避免抬升機構130卡死而無法作動。
Please refer to Figure 4, Figure 5 and Figure 6. The

請參考圖4、圖7、圖8及圖9,由於圖7中的抬升機構130已克服了機構死點的問題,當第二機體120繼續受力而相對於該第一機體110展開時,可依序經由圖8至圖9的過程,直至第四止擋部136a抵靠於第二止擋部132b,且第一止擋部132a抵靠於第三止擋部135a,以使第二機體120完全展開。

在本實施例中,第一轉軸135及第三轉軸137之間的一第三距離D3大於第二轉軸136及第四轉軸138之間的一第四距離D4,且第三轉軸137及第五轉軸139之間的一第五距離D5大於第四轉軸138及第五轉軸139之間的一第六距離D6。換個角度來說,第一桿件134a的長度大於第二桿件134b的長度,然本實施
例並不以此為限。
In this embodiment, a third distance D3 between the first
圖10至圖11是本發明另一實施例的作動原理示意圖。請參考圖10及圖11,本實施例的抬升機構230的第四連桿234、第一桿件234a、第二桿件234b及第五轉軸239的作動原理相同於前述實施例的抬升機構130的第四連桿134、第一桿件134a、第二桿件134b及第五轉軸139的作動原理,於此不再贅述。本實施例與前述實施例的差異在於,抬升機構230更包括一槽座251及一第一彈性件252。第一連桿231具有一滑槽253,且第三轉軸237滑設於滑槽253內。第一彈性件252設置於槽座251內,且第一彈性件252的兩端分別抵接槽座251及第三轉軸237,其中第一彈性件252可採用彈簧。
10 to 11 are schematic diagrams of the operating principle of another embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to Figures 10 and 11. The operating principles of the
如圖10所示,滑槽253以圖中的方向來說,長度延伸方向設置為左右之方向,第一彈性件252的長度延伸方向同樣設置為左右之方向。當第一桿件234a尚未轉動時,第三轉軸237位於滑槽253的左側。請進一步對照參考圖11,當第一桿件234a相對於第一連桿231轉動時,第一彈性件252能夠推動第三轉軸237朝向滑槽253的右側滑動,將第一桿件234a進一步保留此活動裕度可進一步確保抬升機構230於機構死點卡死,有助於增加抬升機構230在作動上的順暢度。

圖12至圖14是本發明又一實施例的作動原理示意圖。請參考圖10及圖11,本實施例的抬升機構330的第四連桿334、第一桿件334a、第二桿件334b及第五轉軸339的作動原理相同於
前述實施例的抬升機構130的第四連桿134、第一桿件134a、第二桿件134b及第五轉軸139的作動原理,於此不再贅述。本實施例與前述實施例的差異在於,抬升機構330更包括一槽座351及一第二彈性件352。第三轉軸337滑設於槽座351內。第二彈性件352設置於槽座351內,且第二彈性件352的兩端分別抵接槽座351及第三轉軸337,其中第二彈性件352可採用彈簧。
12 to 14 are schematic diagrams of the operating principle of yet another embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to Figures 10 and 11. The operating principles of the
如圖12所示,槽座351以圖中的方向來說,長度延伸方向設置為上下之方向,第二彈性件352的長度延伸方向同樣設置為上下之方向。當第一桿件334a尚未轉動時,第三轉軸337位於槽座351的偏上側。請進一步對照參考圖13,當第一桿件334a相對於第一連桿331轉動時,第二彈性件352能夠推動第三轉軸337朝向槽座351的底側滑動,將第一桿件334a進一步保留此活動裕度可進一步確保抬升機構330於機構死點卡死,有助於增加抬升機構330在作動上的順暢度。請更進一步對照參考圖14,在抬升機構330更進一步運動時,第二彈性件352將會推動第三轉軸337移動至槽座351的偏上側,例如回到原位。
As shown in FIG. 12 , in terms of the direction in the figure, the length extension direction of the
綜上所述,在本發明的折疊式電子裝置中,第二機體相對於第一機體閉合,當第二機體受力而相對於第一機體展開時,第二機體透過第三連桿驅動第二桿件相對於第一桿件旋轉一角度,由於第四連桿事先保留了使第二桿件能相對於第一桿件旋轉的裕度,如此能避免抬升機構卡死而無法作動,除了能夠達到使第二機體抬升高度而符合人體工學的效用,以及能夠使第二機體 在相對於第一機體展開的過程能夠順暢開啟的效用外,還能夠採用長度更短的第三連桿,減少第三連桿所占用的體積,而有助於兼顧折疊式電子裝置的薄型化。 To sum up, in the foldable electronic device of the present invention, the second body is closed relative to the first body. When the second body is expanded relative to the first body due to force, the second body drives the third body through the third link. The second rod rotates at an angle relative to the first rod. Since the fourth link retains a margin that allows the second rod to rotate relative to the first rod, this can prevent the lifting mechanism from being stuck and unable to operate. Ability to achieve an ergonomic effect of raising the second body, and enabling the second body to In addition to being able to open smoothly compared to the unfolding process of the first body, a shorter third link can also be used to reduce the volume occupied by the third link, which helps to make the foldable electronic device thinner. .
