Detailed ways

First, please refer to FIG. 2a and FIG. 2b , which show schematic diagrams of the stylus in the present invention. As shown in the figure, the stylus 40 of the present invention has a first segment 41, a hollow second segment 42, an engaging member 43 and an elastic component 44. The second segment 42 is sheathed on the second segment. The first section 41 is outside the section 41 , and the first section 41 can expand and contract along the central axis X. One end of the first section 41 is provided with a flange 411 , and one end of the second section 42 is provided with a stopper 421 . In this way, when the first segment 41 slides in the second segment 42 (as shown in the direction of the arrow in FIG. The stylus 40 can be moved without falling off, and the length of the stylus 40 is limited at the same time.

In particular, the engaging member 43 has a cantilever portion 430 substantially extending along the direction of the central axis X, and the cantilever portion 430 is provided with a first protruding portion 431 and a second protruding portion 432, wherein the first protruding portion 431 is located at the end of the cantilever portion 430 . During assembly, the engaging member 43 engages with the rear end of the second section 42 , but can also be fixed to the rear end of the second section 42 by adhesive. As shown in the figure, the aforementioned elastic component 44 is a compression spring, which is arranged in the second segment 42. The first end 441 of the elastic component 44 abuts against the flange 411 of the first segment 41, while the second end 442 abuts against the flange 411 of the first segment 41. Connected to the above-mentioned engaging member 43, however, a flange (not shown) may also be provided in the second section 42 to abut against the second end 442, thereby restricting the above-mentioned elastic component 44 from springing against the first section 41 and between the engaging parts 43 to avoid falling off. As mentioned above, the elastic component 44 abuts between the first section 41 and the engaging member 43 and is compressed, so a spring preload can be generated to push the first section 41 out in the direction indicated by the arrow (as shown in FIG. 2b shown), and make the stylus 40 automatically extend to a use length.

Referring to FIG. 2c, the first protruding portion 431 on the engaging member 43 has a height h, and the second protruding portion 432 has a height H, wherein H>h. That is, the height of the second protruding portion 432 is higher than that of the first protruding portion 431 , and the first protruding portion 431 is closer to the first segment portion 41 than the second protruding portion 432 after assembly. The user can apply a downward pressure on the second protruding part 432 to make the first protruding part 431 move downward for a distance (as shown in FIG. 2d ). When it is stressed, it can immediately return to the state shown in Figure 2c.

Please refer to FIG. 3a and FIG. 3b , which show a schematic view of combining the stylus with the electronic device body. As shown in the figure, the electronic device of the present invention has a body 30, wherein the body 30 is provided with an opening 31 and a slot 32. When combining the stylus 40 with the electronic device body 30, the user can touch the The pen 40 is inserted through the opening 31 (as shown in FIG. 3 a ), and the first protruding part 431 on the engaging part 43 at the tail end of the stylus 40 is positioned in the aforementioned engaging groove 32 to engage, thereby completing the entire coupling action (as shown in FIG. Figure 3b).

Referring to FIG. 4 a and FIG. 4 b again, the opening 31 and the slot 32 are connected to an accommodating space 33 in the body 30 , wherein the accommodating space 33 is used for accommodating the stylus 40 . As mentioned above, the stylus 40 can be inserted into the opening 31 from the first section 41 to be located in the aforesaid accommodating space 33 , at this time, the first protruding portion 431 on the tail-end engaging member 43 engages with the aforesaid engaging slot 32 combine. In particular, there is an abutting portion 34 at the bottom of the accommodating space 33 , when the stylus 40 is inserted into the accommodating space 33 , the first section 41 abuts against the abutting portion 34 , and the spring in the stylus 40 It is compressed and makes the first section 41 slide into the second section 42 , thereby greatly shortening the length of the stylus 40 .

As shown in FIG. 4 b , the cantilever portion 430 on the engaging part 43 at the tail end of the stylus 40 has elasticity, so when the stylus 30 is to enter the accommodation space 33 and combine with the body 30 , it can be pulled from the second protruding portion 432 A pressure is applied from above to cause the cantilever portion 430 to tilt and deform downward, and the first protruding portion 431 is pushed through the opening 31 and then engaged in the slot 32, so that the stylus 40 and the body 30 can be tightly combined, and the At this time, the second protruding portion 432 is located at the opening 31 and protrudes outside the main body 30 .

Referring to FIG. 4c again, when the stylus 40 is to be taken out, by applying a pressure on the second protrusion 432 (as shown in the direction of the arrow), the first protrusion 431 can be moved downwards and then get out of the aforementioned slot 32, At this time, the elastic component 44 provides a spring preload because it is in a compressed state, so that the stylus 40 can automatically pop out backward through the opening 31 , and then detach from the main body 30 to facilitate the user to take it. In particular, the aforementioned spring force can make the first segment 41 and the second segment 42 move away from each other along the central axis X, and make the stylus 40 automatically extend to a usable length for the convenience of the user. In addition, due to the cantilever The second protruding part 432 on the part 340 is higher than the first protruding part 431 , so that it is convenient for the user to press the stylus 40 out of the body 30 .

In summary, the present invention provides an electronic device configured with a retractable stylus, wherein when the stylus is combined with the electronic device body, the stylus is compressed to save space, and when the stylus is to be taken out The elastic component can be automatically popped up and extended to a use length, which is convenient for the user to take.

Although the present invention has been disclosed in conjunction with the above preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make some changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and cooperate with diffusion The size of the board, the number and position of the variable protrusions are used as supports, so the protection scope of the present invention should be defined by the claims.
