背景技术
为了方便人们的办公需要，设计了用于与平板电脑连接的键盘。平板电脑与键盘可组合或可拆分的产品称为二合一电脑。现有的二合一电脑中平板电脑与键盘可以通过实体连接器或蓝牙进行连接。
示例的，图1为现有技术提供的一种用于二合一电脑、具有实体连接器的键盘01。实体连接器设置于键盘01的后边沿处。实体连接器包括固定在键盘01上表面的探针组件011，探针凸出于键盘01上表面，探针组件011包括多个沿直线排布的探针(即Pogo Pin)。探针组件011的两侧分别设有定位柱012，定位柱012用于定位键盘1与平板电脑的位置。键盘01和平板电脑在连接处均设有磁铁(图中未示出)。当将平板电脑靠近键盘1时，先通过定位柱012定位平板电脑的接点与键盘01的探针组件011位置，对准后将平板电脑进一步靠近键盘01，通过磁铁的吸附力使键盘01与平板电脑机械连接。平板电脑与键盘01机械连接时，平板电脑的接点与键盘01的探针相接触，从而实现键盘01与平板电脑的电连接。
因探针组件011凸出于键盘01上表面，探针容易在存储、运输过程中受损，进而导致键盘不能与平板电脑电连接，键盘失效的问题。

具体实施方式
下面将结合本申请实施例中的附图，对本申请实施例中的技术方案进行描述。
在本申请的描述中，术语“中心”、“上”、“下”、“前”、“后”、“左”、“右”、“竖直”、“水平”、“顶”、“底”、“内”、“外”等指示的方位或位置关系为基于附图所示的方位或位置关系，仅是为了便于描述本申请和简化描述，而不是指示或暗示所指的装置或元件必须具有特定的方位、以特定的方位构造和操作，因此不能理解为对本申请的限制。
在本申请的描述中，需要说明的是，除非另有明确的规定和限定，术语“安装”、“相连”、“连接”应做广义理解，例如，可以是固定连接，也可以是可拆卸连接， 还可以是抵触连接或一体地连接；对于本领域的普通技术人员而言，可以具体情况理解上述术语在本申请中的具体含义。
本申请实施例的一种电子设备，包括第一电子器件和第二电子器件，第一电子器件或第二电子器件包括连接器，通过该连接器能够将第一电子器件与第二电子器件连接在一起，使这两个电子器件作为一个电子设备使用，例如二合一电脑，第一电子器件可以为键盘，第二电子器件可以为平板电脑。需要说明的是：上述对键盘和平板电脑的指定只是简单示例，实际的也可假设第一电子器件为平板电脑，第二电子器件为键盘，连接方式和上述第一电子器件为键盘，第二电子器件为平板电脑的这种假设相同，在此不再赘述。
以上述的电子设备为二合一电脑，第一电子器件为键盘，第二电子器件为平板电脑，且键盘内包括上述连接器为例。图2为本申请实施例一种连接器的结构拆分图，图3为本申请实施例一种连接器中探针伸出通孔的局部示意图，图4为本申请实施例一种二合一电脑中探针将键盘和平板电脑连接的局部示意图，图5为本申请实施例一种连接器中探针组件的结构拆分图。
以下参照图2～5对上述连接器的结构进行说明。
该连接器包括壳体1和柔性电路板3，壳体1上设有通孔111，壳体1内设置有探针组件2，探针组件2能够相对于壳体1运动。其中，探针组件2包括固定架21，固定架21上设置有探针22，探针22与柔性电路板3的一端连接，柔性电路板3的另一端用于与键盘100内的电路板(图中未示出)连接。该连接器还包括插接结构4和驱动组件5。插接结构4用于与平板电脑200可拆卸插接，当平板电脑200插接至插接结构4上时，驱动组件5能够带动探针组件2相对于壳体1向靠近通孔111的方向运动，使探针22伸出通孔111与平板电脑200连接，从而将键盘100和平板电脑200组合为一体。
本申请实施例提供的连接器，由于探针组件2能够相对于壳体1运动，在存储运输时，探针组件2设置于壳体1内，壳体1能够保护探针组件2，使探针组件2不易受损；连接器中的柔性电路板与键盘内的电路板连接，当平板电脑200插接至插接结构4时，驱动组件5带动探针组件2相对于壳体1朝靠近通孔111的方向运动，使探针22伸出通孔111与平板电脑200连接，从而实现平板电脑200与键盘100的连接。
图6为本申请实施例一种二合一电脑中连接器键盘和平板电脑连接的局部示意图，图7为图6的局部放大图。
上述实施方式中的驱动组件5的结构组成方案可有多种，如驱动组件5包括固定于固定架21上的第一磁铁51，第一磁铁51用于与平板电脑200内的第二磁铁2001配合连接，通孔111开设于壳体1的上盖板11上，如图2和图6～7所示。当平板电脑200插接于插接结构4上时，第一磁铁51与第二磁铁2001吸合，从而带动第一磁铁51和探针组件2向靠近通孔111的方向运动，通过磁力吸合的驱动方式，不需要传动结构，结构简单，且连接可靠。可选地，上述探针组件2的运动形式可为直线移动，也可为转动方式；上述的第一磁铁51与固定架21的连接形式可为粘接方式，或采用专门的磁铁固定器，第一磁铁51固定于磁铁固定器，磁铁固定器与固定 架21固定连接。
此外，参照图5，上述的探针组件2包括多个探针22，多个探针22被固定在支撑板23上，探针22与柔性电路板3(即FPC，Flexible Printed Circuit)连接，固定架21上对应探针22的位置开设有多个连接孔211，探针22一一对应穿出该连接孔211设置，支撑板23与固定架21粘结或通过螺栓固定在一起。
当平板电脑从键盘上取下时，第一磁铁51与第二磁铁2001脱开，探针组件2和第一磁铁51可在重力的作用下一起下落至壳体1内，连接器的结构较简单。
可选地，参照图2，本申请实施例中壳体1的下盖板12上设有磁性吸附件6，当平板电脑200插接至插接结构4上时，第一磁铁51与第二磁铁2001之间的吸引力大于第一磁铁51与磁性吸附件6之间的吸附力，由此第一磁铁51和第二磁铁2001之间的吸附力带动探针22伸出通孔111与平板电脑200连接，如图2和图5～7所示。当平板电脑200与插接结构4脱开时，第二磁铁2001离开第一磁铁51的磁力范围，第一磁铁51与壳体1的下盖板12上的磁性吸附件6吸合，从而在磁力和重力的共同作用下，探针组件2加速下落至壳体1内，并且探针组件2与壳体1的下盖板12位置相对固定，可防止在用户移动或翻动键盘时，探针22穿出通孔111，或探针组件2在壳体1内晃动而产生异响；并且在运输或受到撞击时，可防止探针组件2在壳体1出现晃动，而引起探针组件2与壳体1的通孔111之间出现对位不准的问题。上述的磁性吸附件6可为与第一磁铁51磁性相异的磁铁，也可采用铁质材料制作。
可选地，还可通过在探针组件2和壳体1之间设置弹性件来替换磁性吸附件6。通过弹性件对探针组件2施加向靠近壳体1的下盖板12方向运动的力，弹性件可推动探针组件2回落至壳体1内，且探针组件2与壳体1固定连接，限制了探针组件2的位置，从而避免探针组件2与壳体1的通孔111之间出现对位不准的问题，且动作过程噪音较小。
需要进一步说明的是：可选地，上述的弹性件可为弹簧，弹簧的一端与壳体1的上盖板11连接，另一端与固定架21连接，当固定架21伸出通孔111时，弹簧处于压缩状态，弹簧向探针组件2施加向靠近下盖板12方向的力；或者，弹簧的一端与壳体1的下盖板12连接，另一端与固定架21连接，当固定架21伸出通孔111时，弹簧处于拉伸状态，弹簧向探针组件2施加向靠近下盖板12方向的力。上述两种实施方式均可使弹簧固定连接于壳体1，且在平板电脑200与插接结构4脱开时，通过弹簧的恢复力使探针组件2回到壳体1内，结构简单，且安装方便。
当然，除了上述利用磁力吸合的驱动方式带动探针组件2运动的方案，本申请还提供了另一实施例，驱动组件5包括与固定架21传动连接的电机(图中未示出)，以及与电机连接的霍尔开关(图中未示出)，在平板电脑200内仍设置第二磁铁2001，当第二磁铁2001进入霍尔开关的感应范围内时，霍尔开关向电机发送启动信号，通过电机带动探针组件2向靠近通孔111的方向移动，即图7所示位置，探针22伸出通孔111。这种通过电机驱动探针组件2运动的方式，使得探针组件2运动更平稳，且探针组件2反应灵敏，探针可以快速伸出。其中，上述电机带动探针组件2运动的形式，可为转动，也可为直线移动。
对于探针组件2做直线运动时，因机械装配、电机震动或磁铁的磁力不均等问 题，导致驱动结构带动探针组件2运动时，容易出现偏斜，而探针22在穿出通孔111时，需要与通孔111对准，若探针22的位置偏移较大，会导致探针22无法穿出通孔111与平板电脑200连接。可选地，本申请实施例在壳体1内设置直线导向结构，通过直线导向结构带动固定架21沿垂直于上盖板11的方向移动，可防止固定架21的位置出现偏斜，即固定架21上的探针22可准确从通孔111穿出。
图8为本申请实施例另一种连接器中探针组件的结构拆分图，图9为本申请实施例一种连接器中探针组件的运动为转动的结构拆分图，图10为本申请实施例一种连接器中探针组件的运动为转动的组装示意图。
参照图5和图8，上述直线导向结构包括固定于上盖板11下表面的导向框7，导向框7的侧壁沿垂直于上盖板11的方向延伸，固定架21配合设置于导向框7内，从而使固定架21只能沿垂直于上盖板11的方向进行直上直下的运动，避免固定架21上的探针22出现偏差，导向框7的结构较简单，且安装方便。可选地，上述的直线导向结构也可为设置于上盖板11下表面的多个导向轨道，该导向轨道沿垂直于上盖板11的方向延伸，相应地，沿固定架21的边沿一周设置多个导向柱，导向柱滑动卡接于导向轨道内，使固定架21沿设定方向运动；可选地，直线导向结构还可为在壳体1的上盖板11和下盖板12之间设置一个或多个导向柱，导向柱的下端与下盖板12固定连接，在固定架21上开设与导向柱配合的配合孔，导向柱穿过该配合孔与上盖板11固定连接，导向柱沿垂直于上盖板11的方向延伸，使固定架21需沿该导向柱的延伸方向上下移动。
可选地，还可将固定架21设计为转动的运动方式，参照图4和图9～10，本申请实施例中固定架21通过转轴8与壳体1铰接，驱动组件5能够带动固定架21向靠近通孔111的方向转动，使探针22穿出通孔111，且驱动组件5能够带动固定架21向远离通孔111的方向转动，使探针22收回壳体1内。转动方式较便捷，不需限位装置，结构简单。此外，因探针22转动穿出通孔111的过程中，探针22同时有角度变化，导致探针22容易撞击通孔111的内壁，因此，需要将通孔111设计的较大一些，从而避让探针22。
可选地，参照图7，上述插接结构4包括设置于固定架21上的定位柱41，定位柱41与探针22平行设置，且定位柱41的长度大于探针22的长度，相应地，在平板电脑200上设置与定位柱41配合的定位孔。若多个探针22沿直线分布，则在沿探针22延伸方向的两侧各设置一个定位柱41，如图5所示；当平板电脑200与键盘100连接时，先将定位柱41穿入平板电脑200的定位孔中，再沿定位孔的延伸方向使平板电脑200上接触式的接点与探针22接触，从而实现平板电脑200与键盘100的电连接，插接结构4可方便平板电脑200与键盘100之间的准确定位，且进一步加强平板电脑200与键盘100的机械连接强度。
图11为本申请实施例一种连接器中探针的结构示意图，图12为本申请实施例一种连接器中插接结构为定位凹槽的结构示意图。
参照图11，探针22内设有压缩弹簧221，当探针22与平板电脑200上的接触式接点接触后，平板电脑200进一步按压压缩弹簧221，使探针22内的压缩弹簧221被压缩，直至平板电脑200与键盘100的定位结构连接可靠。
可选地，上述的插接结构4还可采用其他方案，如插接结构4包括设置于上盖板11上的定位凹槽401，定位凹槽401与平板电脑200的下端长度、宽度均相同，探针22设置于该定位凹槽401内，如图12所示，当平板电脑200与插接结构4连接时，平板电脑200的下端可配合伸入定位凹槽401内，平板电脑200的下端正好卡入定位凹槽401内，限制平板电脑200前、后、左、右四个方向的自由度(前后方向为图12中L所示的方向，左右方向指图12中P所示的方向)，从而实现平板电脑200上接点与键盘100上探针22的准确连接，因定位凹槽401不凸出于键盘100上表面，不需设置定位柱41，外形上更为美观，且定位更方便。当然，插接结构4也可采用定位柱41和定位凹槽401结合的方案，使得键盘100与平板电脑200定位更准确，连接强度也更高。
上述的第一磁铁51和第二磁铁2001可为永久磁铁(也叫硬磁)，也可为软磁(如电磁铁)。本申请的一个实施例中第二磁铁2001采用电磁铁，且在平板电脑内设有霍尔开关，当第一磁铁51进入该霍尔开关的感应范围内时，霍尔开关向第二磁铁2001的控制电路发送信号，第二磁铁2001的控制电路通电，从而使第二磁铁2001磁化。
本申请实施例还包括一种电子器件，包括如上任一技术方案的连接器，电子器件可为二合一电脑中的键盘，也可为二合一电脑中的键盘，该电子器件与另一电子器件连接时，连接器可使两者的连接强度可靠。
在本说明书的描述中，具体特征、结构、材料或者特点可以在任何的一个或多个实施例或示例中以合适的方式结合。
最后应说明的是：以上实施例仅用以说明本申请的技术方案，而非对其限制；尽管参照前述实施例对本申请进行了详细的说明，本领域的普通技术人员应当理解：其依然可以对前述各实施例所记载的技术方案进行修改，或者对其中部分技术特征进行等同替换；而这些修改或者替换，并不使相应技术方案的本质脱离本申请各实施例技术方案的精神和范围。
