Description

portable electronic device

The present invention relates to an electronic device, and in particular to a portable electronic device with multiple usage states.

Existing tablet computers and smartphones have become the mainstream products of portable electronic devices, which can be controlled by inputting commands through touch panels or using gestures. However, due to the limited display area size of the tablet computer, it is only suitable for simple command input or finger control. It is still difficult to replace the existing desktop computer or notebook computer in terms of image editing, text input, programming and other functions.

In order to solve the above shortcomings, an expansion keyboard combined with a tablet computer has been developed, allowing the tablet computer to be combined with the expansion keyboard to have the function of a physical keyboard. However, the structure of the existing extended keyboard combined with the tablet computer is similar to that of a notebook computer, and other usage modes have not been developed, making the functionality of the extended keyboard relatively simple.

The present invention provides a portable electronic device that can adjust the direction of the display body relative to the functional body or detach the display body from the functional body to operate independently. This increases the usage of portable electronic devices.

The portable electronic device of the present invention includes a functional body, a docking station, a stand assembly and a flat panel display. The docking station is rotatably arranged on the functional body. The bracket component is detachably assembled on the docking station. The flat panel display is rotatably arranged on the bracket component. In an unfolded state, the docking station rotates in a first direction relative to the functional body, driving the bracket assembly and the flat panel display to be deployed in the functional body. In a folded state, the docking station rotates in a second direction relative to the functional body, driving the bracket assembly and the flat panel display to overlap the functional body.

Based on the above, in the portable electronic device of the present invention, the flat panel display is assembled on the docking station through the stand assembly, and forms a laptop mode together with the functional body, and the flat panel display is suitable for rotating relative to the stand assembly to adjust the viewing angle. In the notebook mode, the docking station is suitable for driving the stand assembly and the flat panel display to rotate relative to the functional body to switch to an unfolded state or a folded state. In addition, the flat panel display and stand assembly can also be detached from the docking station to form a flat panel mode.

Furthermore, the portable electronic device of the present invention can freely adjust the viewing angle in laptop mode, and can also separate the flat panel display and the stand assembly from the functional body to operate independently. Therefore, the present invention has multi-functional uses.

The clamping plate 133 is rotatably sleeved on the first rotating shaft 132 . At least one torsion spring 134 is sleeved on the first rotating shaft 132 and pushes against the support plate 131 and the clamping plate 133 respectively.

In more detail, the torsion spring 134 is a torsion spring (or helical torsion spring). Furthermore, the torsion spring is used to withstand axial tension. The torsion spring has a circular cross-section, and both ends of the torsion spring form a bearing. The loaded swing arm serves as a fulcrum or force point against which the torsion spring is often used in automatic return shafts, knobs, door locks, hairpins, etc. The center of the torsion spring 134 is a spiral spring loop, and the torsion spring 134 The end has two ends extending outward in different directions, and these two ends serve as the fulcrum or force point of the torsion. In this embodiment, one end of the torsion spring 134 abuts the bottom end BE of the support plate 131, and the other end of the torsion spring 134 pushes the clamping plate 133, so that the two ends of the torsion spring 134 bear the torsion force and generate rotation. , thereby allowing the torsion spring 134 to accumulate elastic force.

Referring to FIG. 2C , the bottom end BE of the support plate 131 and the clamping plate 133 are positioned in the chute SG. The clamping plate 133 and the supporting plate 131 are affected by the elastic force of at least one torsion spring 134 and are respectively attached to the first stop. The wall 121 and the second retaining wall 122, and the clamping plate 133 abuts against the stopper 123, thereby limiting the clamping plate 133 in the chute SG.

This means that when the flat-panel display 140a turns along with the turning plate 132a, the flat-panel display 140a will move away from the supporting plate 131a ( See Figure 7A and Figure 7B).

Referring to Figures 4C and 4D, the steering plate 132a has a plurality of positioning buckles 1321a (one positioning buckle 1321a is taken as an example in Figure 4D), and the flat panel display 140a has a plurality of positioning grooves 141a (a positioning groove 141a is taken as an example in Figure 4D). , two elastic pieces 142a are arranged in each positioning groove 141a. Each positioning buckle 1321a of the steering plate 132a enters each positioning groove 141a and is clamped by two corresponding elastic pieces 142a. Specifically, a distance GP between the two elastic pieces 142a is smaller than a width WD of each positioning buckle 1321a.

The first rotating shaft 121a is disposed on an inner side of the chute SG, and the clamping plate 122a is rotatably sleeved on the first rotating shaft 121a and is located in the chute SG. At least one torsion spring 123a is sleeved on the first rotating shaft 121a, wherein at least one torsion spring 123a pushes against the inner surface of the clamping plate 122a and the docking station 120a respectively. The support plate 131a of the bracket assembly 130a is partially inserted into the chute SG and locked. The connecting plate 122a contacts the supporting plate 131a. As shown in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1B , the torsion spring 123a is also a torsion spring (or helical torsion spring). In this embodiment, one end of the torsion spring 123a abuts the inner surface of the docking station 120a, and the torsion spring 123a The other end pushes the inner surface of the clamping plate 122a.

Referring to Figure 4B and Figure 5C, the docking station 120a has a retaining wall 124a, which is formed on a bottom surface of the chute SG and is located below the clamping plate 122a. The retaining wall 124a clamps The support plate 131a of the bracket assembly 130a is such that the support plate 131a is orthogonal to the bottom surface of the chute SG. In detail, the support plate 131a has a groove 1311a, and the latch plate 122a is engaged in the groove 1311a, thereby limiting the support plate 131a to the slide groove SG of the docking station 120a.

Referring to Figure 4B, Figure 6A and Figure 6B, the clamping plate 122a has at least one release button 1221a (Figure 4B shows two release buttons 1221a). The two release buttons 1221a are slidably disposed on opposite sides of the docking station 120a. On the other hand, the release button 1221a is used to rotate the clamping plate 122a, so that the clamping plate 122a is clamped in the groove 1311a or away from the groove 1311a.

Referring to FIGS. 5A to 5C , the assembly process of the portable electronic device 100A is described below. As shown in FIG. 5A , the user moves the support plate 131a of the bracket assembly 130a toward the chute SG of the docking station 120a and prepares to insert it. Referring to FIG. 5B , after the support plate 131 a enters the chute SG, the support plate 131 a contacts the clamping plate 122 a and presses the clamping plate 122 a to rotate around the first rotating shaft 121 a and press at least one torsion spring 123 a to accumulate elastic force. Referring to Figure 4A, Figure 5C and Figure 6B, then, at least one torsion spring 123a releases the accumulated elastic force to push the clamping plate 122a to contact the support plate 131a, so that the clamping plate 122a is engaged with the groove 1311a of the support plate 131a, thereby The assembly of the bracket assembly 130a and the docking station 120a is completed.

On the contrary, when the user wants to disassemble the bracket assembly 130a, with reference to FIGS. 6B, 5C and 5A, the user first pushes the release button 1221a downward to drive the clamping plate 122a away from the groove 1311a of the support plate 131a, and engages it.

Interference or collision may occur due to interference or collision with the body 110a.

Referring to FIG. 7C , a first angle A1 exists between the support plate 131a and the functional body 110a, and a second angle A2 exists between the steering plate 132a and the support plate 131a. The steering plate 132a drives another part of the flat panel display 140a to be separated from the support plate 131a and the flat panel display 140a is located outside the functional body 110a, where the first angle A1 is greater than 90 degrees and the second angle A2 is less than 90 degrees. In FIG. 7C , the display surface 143a of the flat panel display 140a points to the side away from the functional body 110a, which is suitable for displaying the information of the flat panel display 140a to the surroundings.

Referring to FIGS. 5A and 7D , when the portable electronic device 100A is switched to the separated state, the stand assembly 130a and the flat panel display 140a are separated from the docking station 120a, and the support steering plate 132a and the support plate 131a are adapted to pivot to each other to form a third Two angles A2. When the second angle A2 is less than a preset angle, part of the bracket component 130a protrudes from the bottom surface BS' of the flat panel display 140a.
