Description

Portable electronic device

The present invention relates to a portable electronic device, and more particularly to a portable electronic device having a tablet device.

Tablet PCs have become increasingly polarized, and there are keyboard docks on the market that can be used with tablets. However, when the keyboard base on the market is combined with the tablet computer, it is generally connected by means of automatic locking. When disassembling, the user needs to push the button to release the tablet computer, and the tablet computer is allowed to be removed from the keyboard base. During the disassembly process, not only the keyboard base should be stabilized, the buttons should be pushed, but also the tablet should be removed, which is inconvenient for the user. In addition, after the tablet is removed, the problem that the engaging structure does not bounce back often occurs, which increases the user's operation troubles.

A portable electronic device includes a tablet device and a docking station. The tablet device includes a resilient member, a latch and a first magnetic member, the resilient member coupling latch adapted to move between the engaged position and the released position. The docking station includes a connecting unit, and the connecting unit includes a hook, and the hook pivots between the releasing orientation and the engaging orientation, wherein the tablet device is detachably connected to the connecting base of the connecting unit, when the tablet device is connected to the docking station, The magnetic attraction of the first magnetic element rotates the hook from the release orientation to the engagement orientation, whereby the hook abuts on the engagement orientation Latch to prevent the tablet from escaping from the dock.

With the portable electronic device of the present embodiment, the user can push the sliding portion at any angle to remove the tablet device from the docking station; and the tablet device can be directly removed from the docking station at a specific angle, thereby greatly improving Convenience when handling a tablet device. In addition, in the present embodiment, the hook is pivoted between the release orientation and the engagement orientation by the magnetic attraction or repulsive force of the first magnetic component and the second magnetic component, so that the tablet device does not become detached. The situation where the hook has not been returned.
