Description
本創作是有關於一種自動收回隨身碟，特別是有關於一種具有彈性構件之自動收回隨身碟。
This creation is about an automatic retractable pen drive, especially for an automatic retractable flash drive with elastic members.
目前，隨身碟的普及幾乎是人手一支的程度。隨身碟，顧名思義，是一種可以隨身攜帶的儲存裝置，其擁有連接器可以插入通訊連接埠，如通用序列匯流排(universally series bus, USB)埠，從而與其他電子裝置進行資料傳輸。At present, the popularity of the flash drive is almost a level of manpower. The flash drive, as its name implies, is a storage device that can be carried around with a connector that can be plugged into a communication port, such as a universal serial bus (USB), for data transmission with other electronic devices.
然而，因為使用時連接器需要暴露在外，故久而久之連接器容易因為氧化或髒汙，而使資料傳輸效果下降或失效。針對此問題，目前市面上一般看到的隨身碟都是採用附加蓋子的方式，亦即平常不使用時將隨身碟的連接器端用一個蓋子蓋上，等到要使用時再將蓋子取下。此種作法雖然方便，但是在隨身碟使用而將蓋子取下時，常會發生不小心遺失蓋子的情況。However, since the connector needs to be exposed when used, the connector for a long time is liable to be degraded or invalid due to oxidation or contamination. In response to this problem, the conventional portable discs currently on the market are provided with an additional cover, that is, the connector end of the portable disc is covered with a cover when not in use, and the cover is removed when it is to be used. Although this method is convenient, when the cover is removed while using the flash drive, the cover is often accidentally lost.
因此，已有許多人對此點進行改良，譬如使隨身碟連接器端不使用時隱藏於外殼內，待要使用時再由側邊彈出或由後方彈出等。然而，此類隨身碟大多需要額外的複雜結構，而間接地增加隨身碟的生產成本與機構故障機率。此外，若隨身碟之連接器是為使用時由後方彈出的形式，有時候使用完後會使使用者由連接器端將其直接推回外殼內，此種行為也會增加隨身碟的故障機會。
Therefore, many people have improved this point, for example, when the connector end of the portable disc is hidden in the outer casing when it is not in use, and then popped from the side or popped from the rear when it is used. However, most of these types of flash drives require additional complex structures, which indirectly increase the production cost of the flash drive and the probability of mechanical failure. In addition, if the connector of the flash drive is popped from the rear for use, sometimes the user will push it back into the case directly from the connector end after use, which will increase the chance of failure of the flash drive. .

請參閱第1(a)與1(b)圖，其係為本創作之第一實施例之自動收回隨身碟1不使用與使用時之剖面圖。圖中，自動收回隨身碟1包含擁有電路板(包含於內殼20內)與連接器10之記憶體，連接器10與電路板連接並可連接於通訊連接埠；容納並固定記憶體之電路板於其中並露出記憶體之連接器10於其開口之內殼20；形成內空間容納記憶體及內殼20，並界定出自動收回隨身碟1之外形之外殼30，外殼30在自動收回隨身碟1使用時露出記憶體之連接器10於外殼30之開口，在自動收回隨身碟1不使用時收納記憶體之連接器10於外殼30之內空間；設置於外殼30露出記憶體之連接器10方向之內側並接觸內殼20之彈性構件40，彈性構件40在自動收回隨身碟1使用時為儲存彈性位能狀態，並在自動收回隨身碟1使用完畢後釋放彈性位能於內殼20使自動收回隨身碟1回復收納狀態；以及設置於內殼20上之固定構件50，固定構件50於外殼30形成相對應之外殼固定結構，固定構件50與外殼固定結構之組合用於在自動收回隨身碟1使用時保持內殼20與連接器10於預定使用位置。
Please refer to Figures 1(a) and 1(b), which are cross-sectional views of the automatic retractable flash drive 1 of the first embodiment of the present invention when not in use and in use. In the figure, the automatic retractable flash drive 1 includes a memory having a circuit board (included in the inner casing 20) and the connector 10, the connector 10 is connected to the circuit board and can be connected to the communication port; and the circuit for accommodating and fixing the memory The inner casing 20 is formed therein and exposes the connector 10 of the memory; the inner space accommodates the memory and the inner casing 20, and defines an outer casing 30 which automatically retracts the shape of the portable disk 1. The outer casing 30 is automatically retracted. When the disc 1 is in use, the connector 10 of the memory is exposed in the opening of the outer casing 30, and the connector 10 of the memory is stored in the inner space of the outer casing 30 when the retractable flash drive 1 is not in use; the connector disposed on the outer casing 30 to expose the memory The inner side of the 10th direction contacts the elastic member 40 of the inner casing 20, and the elastic member 40 stores the elastic potential energy state when the reciprocating disc 1 is automatically retracted, and releases the elastic position energy after the automatic retraction of the flash drive 1 is completed. The self-retracting flash drive 1 is returned to the storage state; and the fixing member 50 is disposed on the inner casing 20, and the fixing member 50 forms a corresponding outer casing fixing structure on the outer casing 30, and the fixing member 50 and the outer casing fixing structure are grouped It is used to maintain the inner casing 20 and the connector 10 in a predetermined use position when the retractable flash drive 1 is used.
具體而言，記憶體之儲存資料功能位於電路板中，而連接器10提供電路板能透過通訊連接埠使記憶體之電路板與其他電子裝置進行資料傳輸。內殼20主要用於保護電路板，並提供後述其他構件設置位置。自動收回隨身碟1保護連接器10的功能主要透過自動收回隨身碟1不使用時將連接器10收納於外殼30來達到。自動收回隨身碟1在不使用時，連接器10整體被容納於外殼30中，此時彈性構件40為舒張狀態(即彈性位能低的狀態)，亦即第1(a)圖所示自動收回隨身碟1之狀態。而在要使用自動收回隨身碟1時，需要在連接器10之相反側(第1(a)與1(b)圖中之左方)施力於內殼20，將內殼20往連接器10方向(第1(a)與1(b)圖中之右方)移動，藉此將連接器10推出外殼30外，從而使連接器10能使用於通訊連接埠。在施力給內殼20時，也同時使彈性構件40聚積彈性位能。而在連接器10與內殼20到達預定使用位置時，則使用固定構件50與相對應之外殼固定結構結合於預定固定位置以固定住連接器10與內殼20結構，使彈性構件40不致因為釋放彈性位能而使連接器10與內殼20彈回，此時自動收回隨身碟1處在第1(b)圖所示之狀態。在自動收回隨身碟1使用完畢想使自動收回隨身碟1回復不使用狀態，也就是使外殼30收納連接器10的狀態，則使固定構件50與外殼固定結構從預定固定位置分離，此時彈性構件40會釋放彈性位能轉換為動能而將內殼20連同連接器10往回推，使自動收回隨身碟1重新回到外殼30收納連接器10之不使用狀態，也就是第1(a)圖所示之狀態。
Specifically, the memory storage function of the memory is located in the circuit board, and the connector 10 provides a circuit board capable of transmitting data between the memory board and other electronic devices through the communication connection. The inner casing 20 is mainly used to protect the circuit board and to provide other component setting positions to be described later. The function of automatically retracting the pen drive 1 protection connector 10 is mainly achieved by housing the connector 10 in the outer casing 30 when the retractable flash drive 1 is not in use. When the automatic retractable flash drive 1 is not in use, the connector 10 as a whole is housed in the outer casing 30, and the elastic member 40 is in a relaxed state (that is, a state in which the elastic position energy is low), that is, the automatic state shown in Fig. 1(a). Retract the state of the pen drive 1. When the automatic retraction of the flash drive 1 is to be used, it is necessary to apply force to the inner casing 20 on the opposite side of the connector 10 (to the left of the first (a) and 1 (b) diagrams), and to connect the inner casing 20 to the connector. The 10 direction (to the right of Figs. 1(a) and 1(b)) is moved, whereby the connector 10 is pushed out of the casing 30, so that the connector 10 can be used for the communication port. When the inner casing 20 is applied, the elastic member 40 is also accumulated at the same time. When the connector 10 and the inner casing 20 reach the predetermined use position, the fixing member 50 and the corresponding outer casing fixing structure are coupled to the predetermined fixing position to fix the structure of the connector 10 and the inner casing 20, so that the elastic member 40 is not caused. The elastic position energy is released to cause the connector 10 and the inner casing 20 to spring back, and the state in which the flash drive 1 is in the first (b) diagram is automatically retracted. After the automatic retraction of the flash drive 1 is used, the automatic retractable flash drive 1 is returned to the unused state, that is, the outer casing 30 is placed in the state of the connector 10, and the fixing member 50 and the outer casing fixing structure are separated from the predetermined fixed position, and the elastic state is obtained at this time. The member 40 releases the elastic position energy and converts it into kinetic energy to push the inner casing 20 back together with the connector 10, so that the automatic retractable flash drive 1 is returned to the outer casing 30 to store the unused state of the connector 10, that is, the first (a) The state shown in the figure.
請再參閱第1(a)與1(b)圖。圖中，自動收回隨身碟1較佳可進一步包含固定於內殼20並部份或全體露出於外殼30外之施力構件60，以便施力於自動收回隨身碟1之內殼20結構使內殼20連同連接器10往連接器10方向相對外殼30移動到預定使用位置。
Please refer to Figures 1(a) and 1(b) again. In the figure, the automatic retractable flash drive 1 preferably further includes a biasing member 60 fixed to the inner casing 20 and partially or entirely exposed outside the outer casing 30 for applying force to automatically retract the structure of the inner casing 20 of the portable disk 1. The housing 20, along with the connector 10, moves toward the connector 10 in a direction relative to the housing 30 to a predetermined use position.
具體而言，為了使內殼20從不使用狀態到達預定使用狀態位置，需要施力給內殼20使其相對於外殼30往連接器10方向移動，在此過程中彈性構件40同時儲存彈性位能。此時，為了方便使用者使用，施力構件60可以進一步被設置在內殼20結構上如第1(a)與1(b)圖所示，使使用者可輕鬆地按壓施力構件60並固定外殼30結構即可施力給內殼20。更具體而言，使用者可用類似使用自動鉛筆的方式，以單手除拇指之外四指握住自動收回隨身碟1之外殼30，然後再以拇指按壓施力構件60即可推動內殼20從收納位置到預定使用位置。
Specifically, in order to bring the inner casing 20 from the non-use state to the predetermined use state position, it is necessary to apply a force to the inner casing 20 to move toward the connector 10 with respect to the outer casing 30, in the process, the elastic member 40 simultaneously stores the elastic position. can. At this time, for the convenience of the user, the urging member 60 may be further provided on the structure of the inner casing 20 as shown in FIGS. 1(a) and 1(b), so that the user can easily press the urging member 60 and The structure of the fixed casing 30 can be applied to the inner casing 20. More specifically, the user can use the method of using a mechanical pencil to hold the outer casing 30 of the portable reel 1 with four fingers in addition to the thumb, and then press the force applying member 60 with the thumb to push the inner casing 20 From the storage position to the intended use position.
上述彈性構件10較佳可為第一金屬彈簧。
The elastic member 10 is preferably a first metal spring.
以金屬彈簧作為彈性構件10，具有便宜並可多次使用的優點，以及可根據需要選擇尺寸與彈性係數，從而進一步降低自動收回隨身碟1之生產成本與提升自動收回隨身碟1之可靠性。
The use of a metal spring as the elastic member 10 has the advantages of being inexpensive and can be used multiple times, and the size and the modulus of elasticity can be selected as needed, thereby further reducing the production cost of the automatic retractable flash drive 1 and improving the reliability of the automatic retractable flash drive 1.
請再參閱第1(a)與1(b)圖。圖中，固定構件50較佳可為至少一個彈性卡榫，外殼固定結構可為對應彈性卡榫之數量之至少一個卡榫孔51，當自動收回隨身碟1為使用狀態時固定構件50之彈性卡榫於相對應之卡榫孔51中以固定內殼20與連接器10於預定使用位置，當自動收回隨身碟1不使用時固定構件50之彈性卡榫從相對應之卡榫孔51退出，並於儲存彈性位能狀態下被收納於外殼30中。
Please refer to Figures 1(a) and 1(b) again. In the figure, the fixing member 50 preferably has at least one elastic latch, and the outer casing fixing structure can be at least one latching hole 51 corresponding to the number of the elastic latches, and the elasticity of the fixing member 50 when the retractable dial 1 is in the use state is automatically retracted. The card is inserted into the corresponding latching hole 51 to fix the inner casing 20 and the connector 10 in a predetermined use position, and when the automatic retractable flash drive 1 is not in use, the elastic latch of the fixing member 50 is withdrawn from the corresponding latching opening 51 And stored in the outer casing 30 in a state in which the elastic energy is stored.
具體而言，固定構件50與外殼固定結構的功能可簡易地以第1(a)與1(b)圖中之固定構件50之彈性卡榫與相對應之卡榫孔51達到。在自動收回隨身碟1在不使用狀態時，彈性卡榫為儲存彈性位能狀態，如同第1(a)圖中所示。在要使用自動收回隨身碟1，內殼20被推到預定使用位置時，固定構件50之彈性卡榫即釋放彈性位能將固定構件50之彈性卡榫之卡點卡住相對應之卡榫孔51，如同第1(b)圖中所示。在自動收回隨身碟1使用完畢後，用手輕壓固定構件50之彈性卡榫之卡點將其從相對應之卡榫孔51退出，內殼20與連接器10即會被彈性構件40彈回。
Specifically, the function of the fixing member 50 and the outer casing fixing structure can be easily achieved by the elastic latching of the fixing member 50 in the first (a) and first (b) drawings and the corresponding latching hole 51. When the self-retracting flash drive 1 is not in use, the elastic card is in a state of storing the elastic potential energy as shown in Fig. 1(a). When the self-retracting flash drive 1 is to be used and the inner casing 20 is pushed to the intended use position, the elastic latch of the fixing member 50 releases the elastic position to clamp the card of the elastic snap of the fixing member 50 to the corresponding card. Hole 51 is as shown in Figure 1(b). After the automatic retraction of the flash drive 1 is completed, the card of the elastic latch of the fixing member 50 is gently pressed by hand to withdraw it from the corresponding latching hole 51, and the inner casing 20 and the connector 10 are springed back by the elastic member 40.
請再參閱第1(a)與1(b)圖。圖中，外殼30與內殼20於記憶體之連接器10之開口之相對側較佳可形成檔板結構，以防止於自動收回隨身碟1不使用時內殼20與記憶體滑出外殼30外。
Please refer to Figures 1(a) and 1(b) again. In the figure, the outer casing 30 and the inner casing 20 are preferably formed on the opposite side of the opening of the connector 10 of the memory to form a baffle structure to prevent the inner casing 20 and the memory from sliding out of the casing 30 when the reel 1 is not used automatically. outer.
為了使自動收回隨身碟1不使用時內殼20與記憶體不滑出外殼30外，外殼30與內殼20相對於記憶體之連接器10之開口方向之底部(第1(a)與1(b)圖左方)需形成檔板結構，以便在自動收回隨身碟1不使用時內殼20與連接器10仍然被維持在外殼30形成的內空間中。
In order to prevent the inner casing 20 and the memory from slipping out of the outer casing 30 when the automatic retractable flash drive 1 is not in use, the outer casing 30 and the inner casing 20 are opposite to the bottom of the opening direction of the connector 10 of the memory (1(a) and 1) (b) Left side of the figure) A baffle structure is required so that the inner casing 20 and the connector 10 are still maintained in the inner space formed by the outer casing 30 when the retractable flash drive 1 is not in use.
請再參閱第1(a)與1(b)圖。圖中，自動收回隨身碟1較佳可進一步包含設置於內殼20與外殼30形成之檔板結構間之緩衝構件70，以防止自動收回隨身碟1由使用狀態回復至不使用狀態時外殼30與內殼20間之衝擊力損害記憶體與自動收回隨身碟1結構。
Please refer to Figures 1(a) and 1(b) again. In the figure, the automatic retractable flash drive 1 preferably further includes a cushioning member 70 disposed between the inner casing 20 and the baffle structure formed by the outer casing 30 to prevent the self-retracting the reel 1 from returning from the use state to the non-use state. The impact between the inner casing 20 and the inner casing 20 damages the memory and automatically retracts the structure of the flash drive 1.
具體而言，由於彈性構件40在使內殼20回復不使用狀態之位置時會給予內殼20動能。在有前述檔板結構的狀態下，內殼20與外殼30結構在底部(第1(a)與1(b)圖左側)檔板結構處相遇時會產生衝擊力，而多次使用後此衝擊力可能會造成記憶體之電路板或自動收回隨身碟1之結構損壞。因此，自動收回隨身碟1可再進一步包含緩衝構件70於內殼20與外殼30之檔板結構處如第1(a)與1(b)圖中所示，以在自動收回隨身碟1由使用狀態回復不使用狀態時使內殼20與外殼30不直接接觸，從而消除或減輕衝擊力。
Specifically, since the elastic member 40 gives kinetic energy to the inner casing 20 when the inner casing 20 is returned to the unused state. In the state with the aforementioned baffle structure, the inner casing 20 and the outer casing 30 structure will have an impact force when they meet at the bottom (the left side of the first (a) and the first (b) diagram), and after multiple use The impact force may cause damage to the memory board or the structure of the self-retracting flash drive 1. Therefore, the self-retracting flash drive 1 can further include the cushioning member 70 at the baffle structure of the inner casing 20 and the outer casing 30 as shown in the first (a) and (b) drawings, in order to automatically retract the flash drive 1 When the use state is returned to the unused state, the inner casing 20 is not in direct contact with the outer casing 30, thereby eliminating or mitigating the impact force.
上述緩衝構件70較佳可為第二金屬彈簧，第二金屬彈簧之彈性係數小於彈性構件40之第一金屬彈簧。
The cushioning member 70 is preferably a second metal spring, and the second metal spring has a smaller elastic modulus than the first metal spring of the elastic member 40.
具體而言，緩衝構件70使用金屬彈簧可有前述彈性構件40使用金屬彈簧之優點。第二金屬彈簧之彈性係數須小於彈性構件40之第一金屬彈簧，以使自動收回隨身碟1由使用狀態回復不使用狀態時，第一金屬彈簧給予內殼20之推力大於第二金屬彈簧給予內殼20之推力。
Specifically, the use of the metal spring by the cushioning member 70 may have the advantage that the aforementioned elastic member 40 uses a metal spring. The elastic coefficient of the second metal spring must be smaller than the first metal spring of the elastic member 40, so that when the automatic retracting flash drive 1 is returned from the use state to the unused state, the first metal spring gives the inner casing 20 a greater thrust than the second metal spring gives The thrust of the inner casing 20.
請參閱第2(a)與2(b)圖，其係為本創作之第二實施例之自動收回隨身碟2不使用與使用時之剖面圖，並請一併參閱第1(a)圖及1(b)圖。如圖所示，本實施例中之自動收回隨身碟2與上述第一實施例之自動收回隨身碟1所述的相同元件的作動方式相似，故不在此贅述。然而，值得一提的是，在本實施例中，固定構件50可為至少一個彈性鰭片，外殼固定結構包含對應彈性鰭片之數量之至少一個第一鰭片孔52與對應彈性鰭片之數量之至少一個第二鰭片孔53，自動收回隨身碟2不使用時固定構件50之彈性鰭片之一端於第一鰭片孔52內防止內殼20與連接器10滑出外殼，該自動收回隨身碟2使用時固定構件50之彈性鰭片之該端於第二鰭片孔53內以固定內殼20與連接器10於預定使用位置。
Please refer to Figures 2(a) and 2(b), which are cross-sectional views of the automatic retractable flash drive 2 of the second embodiment of the present invention when not in use and use, and please refer to Figure 1(a) together. And 1 (b) map. As shown in the figure, the automatic retracting flash drive 2 in this embodiment is similar to the operation of the same component described in the automatic retracting flash drive 1 of the first embodiment, and therefore will not be described herein. However, it is worth mentioning that in the embodiment, the fixing member 50 may be at least one elastic fin, and the outer casing fixing structure includes at least one first fin hole 52 corresponding to the number of elastic fins and the corresponding elastic fin. The number of at least one second fin hole 53 is automatically retracted. When the flash disk 2 is not in use, one of the elastic fins of the fixing member 50 is terminated in the first fin hole 52 to prevent the inner casing 20 and the connector 10 from sliding out of the outer casing. The end of the elastic fin of the fixing member 50 when the portable disc 2 is used is retracted into the second fin hole 53 to fix the inner casing 20 and the connector 10 in a predetermined use position.
具體而言，在本實施例中，固定構件50之彈性鰭片與外殼固定結構之第二鰭片孔53與第一實施例中固定構件50之彈性卡榫與外殼固定結構之卡榫孔作用類似，故不在此贅述。與第一實施例不同之處在於，當內殼20被彈性構件40往回推到自動收回隨身碟2不使用時內殼20之收納位置時，固定構件40之彈性鰭片會再次釋放彈性位能使固定構件40之彈性鰭片之一端卡住第一鰭片孔52，從而阻擋內殼20使內殼20不致連同連接器10滑出外殼30外，如第2(a)圖中所示。因此，自動收回隨身碟2並不需要第一實施例中內殼20與外殼30間形成之檔板結構。
Specifically, in the present embodiment, the elastic fins of the fixing member 50 and the second fin holes 53 of the outer casing fixing structure and the elastic latching of the fixing member 50 of the first embodiment and the latching function of the outer casing fixing structure Similar, so I won't go into details here. The difference from the first embodiment is that when the inner casing 20 is pushed back by the elastic member 40 until the storage position of the inner casing 20 is automatically retracted when the flash drive 2 is not in use, the elastic fins of the fixing member 40 release the elastic position again. One end of the elastic fin of the fixing member 40 can be caught by the first fin hole 52, thereby blocking the inner casing 20 from sliding the inner casing 20 out of the outer casing 30 together with the connector 10, as shown in Fig. 2(a) . Therefore, the automatic retraction of the flash drive 2 does not require the baffle structure formed between the inner casing 20 and the outer casing 30 in the first embodiment.
請再參閱第2(a)與2(b)圖。圖中，自動收回隨身碟2較佳可進一步包含設置於外殼30上並由外側覆蓋第二鰭片孔53之保護構件80。
Please refer to Figures 2(a) and 2(b) again. In the figure, the self-retracting flash drive 2 preferably further includes a protective member 80 disposed on the outer casing 30 and covering the second fin hole 53 from the outer side.
具體而言，在自動收回隨身碟2不使用時，固定構件50之彈性鰭片之一端位於相對應之第一鰭片孔52內，如第2(a)圖所示。若自動收回隨身碟2之內殼20與外殼30間無檔板結構，誤觸固定構件50之彈性鰭片之位於相對應之第一鰭片孔52之該端可能會造成固定構件50之彈性鰭片之該端由相對應之第一鰭片孔52鬆脫，而導致內殼20與連接器10滑出外殼。因此，自動收回隨身碟2較佳可再包含保護構件80，保護構件80設置於外殼上，其從外側覆蓋住第一鰭片孔52以致第一鰭片孔52內之固定構件50之彈性鰭片之端點不會被誤觸。此外，如第2(b)圖中所示，保護構件80之端點可設置於第二鰭片孔53之位置而於自動收回隨身碟2在使用狀態時保護構件80之端點正好接觸位於第二鰭片孔53內之固定構件50之彈性鰭片之端點。如此一來，自動收回隨身碟2要從使用狀態回復不使用狀態時，僅需輕壓保護構件80，保護構件80之端點便會將位於第二鰭片孔53內之固定構件50之彈性鰭片之端點頂出。
Specifically, when the automatic retractable flash drive 2 is not in use, one end of the elastic fin of the fixing member 50 is located in the corresponding first fin hole 52 as shown in FIG. 2(a). If the baffle structure between the inner casing 20 and the outer casing 30 of the flash drive 2 is automatically retracted, the elastic fin of the fixing member 50 at the end of the corresponding first fin hole 52 may cause the elasticity of the fixing member 50. The end of the fin is released by the corresponding first fin hole 52, causing the inner casing 20 and the connector 10 to slide out of the outer casing. Therefore, the automatic retractable flash drive 2 preferably further includes a protective member 80 disposed on the outer casing to cover the first fin hole 52 from the outer side so that the elastic fin of the fixing member 50 in the first fin hole 52 The endpoint of the slice will not be touched. Further, as shown in FIG. 2(b), the end of the protective member 80 may be disposed at the position of the second fin hole 53 and the end point of the protective member 80 is located in contact with the automatic retraction of the flash drive 2 in use. The end of the elastic fin of the fixing member 50 in the second fin hole 53. In this way, when the automatic retractable flash drive 2 is to be returned from the use state to the unused state, only the protective member 80 needs to be lightly pressed, and the end of the protective member 80 will elasticize the fixing member 50 located in the second fin hole 53. The end of the fin is ejected.
