Description

Electronic device

The present invention relates to electronic devices, and more particularly to electronic devices having a pivotal structure.

As technology advances, the design of electronic devices is changing with each passing day. Many electronic devices, such as notebook computers, handheld electronic devices, etc., are provided with a pivotal structure. However, in addition to limiting the position of the heat dissipation holes of the electronic device, the pivot structure can easily hinder the heat dissipation path of the electronic device and affect the heat dissipation efficiency of the electronic device.

The present invention provides an electronic device. The electronic device includes a first body, a second body and a pivoting structure. The first body has a body and a sliding member, and the sliding member is slidably coupled to the body. The second body has at least one heat dissipation hole. The pivoting structure connects the first body and the second body. The pivoting structure includes a rotating shaft and a linkage mechanism. The rotating shaft is pivotally connected between the first body and the second body. The linkage mechanism extends from the rotating shaft to connect the sliding member to drive the sliding member. When the first body rotates away from the second body, the linkage mechanism drives the slider to move away from the body.

The electronic device of the present invention has an interlocking mechanism for driving the slider to move to form an opening aligned with the heat dissipation hole. In this way, the heat dissipation path of the electronic device can be prevented from being hindered, and the heat dissipation performance of the electronic device can be improved.

The specific embodiments of the present invention will be further illustrated by the following embodiments and drawings.

The first body 120 of the electronic device 100 has a display module, such as a liquid crystal display panel, and the second body 140 is used to set an operating element such as a motherboard and a processor of the electronic device 100. The second body 140 also has an input module, such as a keyboard.

Please refer to FIG. 2A to FIG. 2C at the same time. FIG. 2A to FIG. 2C are schematic cross-sectional views showing an embodiment of the pivoting structure of the electronic device of the present invention. The second A picture corresponds to the first A picture, the second B picture corresponds to the first B picture, and the second C picture corresponds to the first C picture.

As shown in the figure, the first body 120 has a body 122 and a slider 124, and the slider 124 is slidably coupled to the body 122. The second body 140 has at least one heat dissipation hole 142. The pivot structure 160 is connected to the first body 120 and the second body 140.

The pivot structure 160 includes a rotating shaft 162 and a linkage mechanism 164. The rotating shaft 162 is pivotally connected between the first body 120 and the second body 140. The linkage mechanism 164 extends from the rotating shaft 162 to connect the sliding member 124 to drive the sliding member 124. The linkage mechanism 164 includes an eccentric bearing 1642 and a linkage element 1644.

The eccentric bearing 1642 is fixed to the second body 140, and the two ends of the linking element 1644 are respectively connected with the eccentric bearing 1642 and the sliding member 124. The connection position of the eccentric bearing 1642 and the interlocking member 1644 is offset from the rotational axis thereof, that is, from the axis of the rotating shaft 162. In this manner, when the first body 120 is rotated away from the second body 140, that is, the folded state of the second A picture is changed to the use state of the second C picture via the transition state of the second B picture, the first body 120 The rotation of the second body 140 (with the rotation shaft 162 as the rotation axis) drives the slider 124 to move away from the body 122.

As shown in FIG. C, when the first body 120 is rotated a first angle away from the second body 140, the electronic device is in use. At this time, the slider 124 is driven to move away from the body 122 to form an opening 126 between the body 122 and the slider 124 as a heat dissipation path of the electronic device. In one embodiment, the opening 126 is aligned with the at least one heat dissipation hole 142 disposed on the rear side of the second body 140 to improve the heat dissipation airflow path and improve heat dissipation efficiency. The magnitude of the first angle described above is based on ergonomics or the state of use of the user. In an embodiment, the first angle is 120 degrees.

In this embodiment, the first body 120 has a connecting portion 128 located on the lower side of the first body 120, and the body 122 extends to connect the pivoting structure 160. When the first body 120 is rotated away from the second body 140, the connecting portion 128 will rotate downward and the second body 140 will be lifted up by a second angle. The magnitude of this second angle is based on ergonomics or the state of use of the user. In an embodiment, the second angle is 6 degrees.

The third and third B drawings are schematic views of another embodiment of the interlocking mechanism 264 of the electronic device of the present invention. As shown in the figure, in this implementation In the example, the linkage mechanism 264 includes a gear set 2642 and a swing arm 2644. The gear set 2642 includes a first gear 2642a, a second gear 2642b and a third gear 2642c. The first gear 2642a is disposed on the second body 140. The second gear 2642b and the third gear 2642c are disposed on the first body 120. One end of the swing arm 2644 is fixed to the third gear 2642c, and the other end is connected to the slider 124. The first gear 2642a, the second gear 2642b, and the third gear 2642c are interlocked with each other in sequence.

When the first body 120 is rotated away from the second body 140, the torsion applied to the second gear 2642b causes the first gear 2642a to rotate in a clockwise direction relative to the second body 140. At the same time, the second gear 2642b is rotated in the counterclockwise direction relative to the first body 120 to drive the third gear 2642c to rotate in a clockwise direction relative to the first body 120. The rotation of the third gear 2642c moves the slider 124 in a direction away from the body 122 through the swing arm 2644.

4A and 4B are schematic views of another embodiment of the interlocking mechanism 364 of the electronic device of the present invention. As shown in the figures, in the present embodiment, the linkage mechanism 364 includes a gear set 3642 and a rack 3644.

Gear set 3642 includes a first gear 3642a and a second gear 3642b. The first gear 3642a is fixed to the second body 140, that is, there is no relative rotation between the first gear 3642a and the second body 140. The second gear 3642b is disposed on the body 122 of the first body 120. The rack 3644 is fixed to the inner side surface of the slider 124. The first gear 3642a, the second gear 3642b, and the rack 3644 are interlocked with each other in sequence.

Since the first gear 3642a is fixed to the second body 140, when the first body 120 rotates away from the second body 140, the second gear 3642b moves along with the first body 120, and the second gear 3642b and the first body 120 also rotate relative to each other to drive the occlusion. The rack 3644 of the second gear 3642b further drives the slider 124 to move away from the body 122.

The electronic device of the present invention has an interlocking mechanism for driving the slider to move to form an opening aligned with the heat dissipation hole. In this way, the heat dissipation path of the electronic device can be prevented from being hindered to improve the heat dissipation performance of the electronic device.

The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not impose any limitation on the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make any form of equivalent replacement or modification to the technical means and technical content disclosed in the present invention without departing from the technical means of the present invention.
