Interpretation, unless specifically defined herein.

The above and other technical contents, features and effects of the present invention will be apparent from the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments. The directional terms mentioned in the following embodiments, such as up, down, left, right, front or back, etc., are only directions referring to the additional drawings. Therefore, the directional terminology used is used to illustrate that it is not intended to limit the creation.

First, please refer to FIG. 1 , where FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a portable electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1 , the portable electronic device of the present embodiment is, for example, an electronic gaming notebook computer, which mainly includes a body 10 and a display unit 20 . The body 10 is internally provided with a processor and a memory. In addition to the electronic components, an input device such as a keyboard and a touchpad is provided on the upper surface of the body 10.

It should be understood that the foregoing display unit 20 is, for example, a liquid crystal screen, and can be pivotally connected to the body 10 through the pivot 30, thereby enabling the display unit 20 to be at a closed angle (for example, 0 degrees) with respect to the body 10 and Rotate between an opening angle (eg, 90 degrees).

As can be seen from Fig. 1, the body 10 includes a top cover 11 and a casing 12, wherein a long opening is provided on the back side of the outer casing 12. 120, and a plurality of baffles 40 are disposed adjacent to the opening 120, and the baffle 40 is rotatable relative to the outer casing 12. It should be understood that when the display unit 20 is rotated relative to the body 10 by the aforementioned opening angle to the closing angle, the flap 40 can be rotated from an open position to a closed position relative to the outer casing 12 to prevent dust from entering through the aforementioned opening 40. Go to the body 10.

For example, the flap 40 may have a sheet-like structure of plastic or metal, and the flap 40 has a substantially rectangular shape, but the material or shape thereof is not limited thereto.

In other words, when the user uses the portable electronic device and closes the display unit 20 relative to the body 10, the opening 40 can be partially or completely shielded by the movable blocking piece 40 to prevent the electronic device from being used when not in use. The intrusion of dust affects the performance of its internal electronic components or heat sink components.

Conversely, when the user wants to use the portable electronic device to open the display unit 20 relative to the body 10, the flap 40 is rotated relative to the outer casing 12 to keep the opening 40 clear, thereby enhancing air convection. Quickly dissipate heat from components inside the electronic device.

Next, please refer to FIG. 23, wherein FIG. 2 is a partial enlarged view of the internal mechanism of the outer casing 12 in FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a partial enlarged view of the inner mechanism of the outer casing 12 in the first embodiment. Figure. As shown in FIG. 2, in addition to the baffle 40, the outer casing 12 of the present embodiment further includes a frame 50, a translating member 60, a rotating member 70 and a fixing member 80, wherein the fixing member 80 is permeable. A screw (not shown) is locked to the bottom surface of the outer casing 12, and the rotating member 70 is pivotally connected to the fixing member 80.

As can be seen from Figures 2 and 3, the aforementioned frame 50 has a hollow The rectangular structure is fixed to the bottom surface of the outer casing 12. In an embodiment, the frame 50 and the outer casing 12 can be made of plastic material and can be fabricated by integral molding.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the translating member 60 has a connecting portion 61 and an L-shaped extending portion 62, wherein the connecting portion 61 and the rotating member 70 are in mesh with each other through a corresponding threaded structure, and the extending portion 62 Then, the aforementioned flap 40 is movably connected.

Specifically, each of the blocking pieces 40 in the embodiment has at least one pivoting portion P1 and a protruding portion P2. The pivoting portion P1 protrudes in the Z-axis direction and pivotally connects the frame 50. The protrusion P2 protrudes into the opening 621 of the extending portion 62 in the -X-axis direction, wherein the blocking piece 40 passes through the frame 50 and is connected to the opening P2 of the extending portion 62 through the protruding portion P2. The aforementioned opening P2 has an elongated structure.

In the present embodiment, the width of the opening P2 in the Y-axis direction (first axial direction) is slightly larger than the width of the protruding portion P2 in the Y-axis direction (as shown in FIG. 3), so that it is tolerable. The projection P2 is movable inside the opening P2 to prevent the flap 40 from interfering with the extension 62 of the translating member 60 when rotated.

When the display unit 20 of the portable electronic device is opened at an opening angle with respect to the body 10, the blocking piece 40 is in an open position relative to the opening 120 (as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3). The flap 40 and the elongated opening 120 are approximately at an angle of 90 degrees, thereby enhancing air convection inside and outside the body 10, thereby facilitating the lifting of the internal fan (not shown) of the portable electronic device. The heat dissipation effect of its internal electronic components.

In an embodiment, a fan may be disposed inside the outer casing 12 In addition, a heat transfer element (not shown) such as a heat pipe or a heat sink fin may be disposed, wherein forced convection is generated by the fan, and heat inside the electronic device can be quickly transmitted out of the body 10 through the opening 120.

Next, referring to FIG. 4, FIG. 4 is a schematic view showing the translation member 60 being moved by the rotating member 70 to move in the Y-axis direction. It should be particularly noted that the rotating member 70 in this embodiment can be connected to the display unit 20 or the pivot 30 through a transmission mechanism (such as a screw or a gear mechanism), such that when the display unit 20 is pivoted 30 When the body 10 is rotated from the opening angle to the closing angle, the rotating member 70 is rotated by the display unit 20 (as indicated by the direction of the arrow A1 in FIG. 4), and the rotating member 70 can be translated through the thread structure. The member 60 is moved in the Y-axis direction (as indicated by the direction of the arrow A2 in FIG. 4), and the extending portion 62 of the translating member 60 drives the flap 40 to rotate relative to the outer casing 12 from the aforementioned open position to the closed position to be partially or completely The opening 40 is shielded so that the electronic device can be prevented from being intruded by dust when not in use.

For example, when the flap 40 is rotated relative to the outer casing 12 to the aforementioned closed position, an oblique angle (as shown in FIG. 4) may be formed between the blocking piece 40 and the opening 120 to facilitate blocking the dust through the blocking piece 40. Entering into the interior of the body 10; or, when the flap 40 is rotated relative to the outer casing 12 to the aforementioned closed position, the adjacent flaps 40 may abut each other, and no gap may be formed between the adjacent flaps 40. Therefore, the opening 120 can be completely covered by the flap 40, thereby more effectively blocking the entry of dust into the interior of the body 10.

On the contrary, when the display unit 20 is rotated relative to the body 10 by the aforementioned closing angle to the opening angle, the rotating member 70 is rotated by the display unit 20, so that the translation member 60 can be moved in the -Y axis direction to make the blocking piece. 40 The housing 12 is rotated from the aforementioned closed position to the open position to assume a state as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, whereby air convection can be enhanced and the heat dissipation effect of the internal components of the portable electronic device can be enhanced.

In summary, the present invention provides a portable electronic device in which an opening of a body can be partially or completely shielded by a movable shutter when the electronic device is not used, thereby preventing the electronic device from being The use of dust intrusion affects the heat dissipation of its internal components, which can improve the performance of electronic devices and greatly extend their service life.
