Detailed ways

Please refer to FIGS. 2A to 2C at the same time. FIG. 2A is a top view of an electronic device according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 2B and 2C are side views of FIG. 2A . The electronic device 200 is, for example, a notebook computer, and includes a base 210 , a first body 220 , a second body 230 and two adjustment devices 240 and 250 . In this embodiment, the first body 220 is, for example, an existing host body and includes a keyboard module; the second body 230 includes a screen for displaying images. The adjustment device 240 (and 250 ) is coupled to the first body 220 and the second body 230 .

As shown in FIG. 2B and FIG. 2C, the first body 220 and the second body 230 are respectively arranged on both ends of the base 210 with a general bearing structure, and are used to move to the left (+x direction) and right of the base 210 respectively. (-x direction) pivot. Wherein, the first body 220 and the second body 230 in FIG. 2B are in a closed state. When the user opens the second body 230 which is the screen, the second body 230 in FIG. 2B pivots clockwise relative to the base 210 to assume the state in FIG. 2C . At the same time, the adjustment device 240 (and 250) coupled to the second body 230 will correspondingly drive the coupled first body 220 to pivot counterclockwise from the state of FIG. 2B to the state of FIG. 2C, thereby adjusting The relative angle between the first body 220 and the base 210 .

In this way, in FIG. 2C , several main heat sources in the first body 220 (such as the main circuit board or power supply, etc.) can obtain a good heat dissipation effect, and avoid the accumulation of high heat caused by the traditional medium and long-term contact with the desktop. The problem. In addition, the utility model further designs that after the second body 230 pivots to a preset angle, the adjustment devices 240 and 250 can fix the supporting angle of the first body 220, and the user can work in a more comfortable working environment. Start to operate the keyboard module on the first body 220 . The related mechanism design between the first body 220 , the second body 230 and the adjustment device 240 will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. The adjustment device 250 is designed symmetrically with respect to the adjustment device 240 , which should be understandable by those who are familiar with it, so it will not be described in detail.

Please refer to FIG. 3A to FIG. 3D at the same time. FIG. 3A shows a schematic diagram of an adjustment device 240 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3B to FIG. 3D show a three-sectional schematic diagram of FIG. 3A . The adjusting device 240 is generally disposed between the first pivotal portion 211 and the second pivotal portion 212 of the base 210 in a bearing structure, and includes a linkage element 241 , a supporting element 242 and an elastic element 243 . The linkage part 241 is pivotally connected to the first pivot part 211, and a linkage end e1 of the linkage part 241 is coupled to the second body 230 in a manner fixed in the second body 230, so that the linkage part 241 can The second body 230 pivots relative to the base 210 synchronously. In addition, the linkage 241 includes two protrusions 241a and 241b.

The supporting member 242 is pivotally connected between the linking member 241 and the second pivoting portion 212 . The elastic element 243 is, for example, a general spring, and is connected to the bearings of the linkage element 241 and the support element 242 . The supporting member 242 also has two guide rails 242a and 242b and a first engaging structure 242c. The two protrusions 241a and 241b of the linkage 241 are located in the two guide rails 242a and 242b respectively. The first engaging structure 242c corresponds to a second engaging structure 212c of the second pivot portion 212 . In this embodiment, it is taken as an example that the first engaging structure 242c and the second engaging structure 212c are protrusions and grooves respectively. Wherein, a support end e2 of the support member 242 is coupled to the first body 220 in a manner similar to a pivot connection, so that when the support member 242 pivots, it can exert a function on the first body 220 through the support end e2. force.

As shown in FIG. 3B , when the first body 220 and the second body 230 are in the closed state of FIG. 2B , the connection state of each component in the adjustment device 240 is shown. And for the convenience of description, the illustration of the above-mentioned linkage end e1 and support end e2 is omitted. At this moment, the relative angle between the second body 230 and the base 210 is 0 degrees, that is, the linkage end e1 faces the +x direction. In addition, through the interaction between the two protrusions 241a and 241b and the guide rails 242a and 242b, the supporting member 242 is in close contact with the linking member 241, and the elastic member 243 is also in a compressed state. In addition, the first engaging structure 242c is not in alignment with the second engaging structure 212c, and the first engaging structure 242c which is a protruding column abuts against the surface S of the second pivot portion 212 .

As shown in FIG. 3C , when the user lifts the second body 230 and pivots it, for example, 90 degrees, the connection state of each element in the device 240 is adjusted. When the second body 230 pivots from 0° to 90°, because the first engaging structure 242c abuts against the surface S, the supporting member 242 will not move on the y-axis. That is, as the linkage 241 pivots, the two protrusions 241 a and 241 b drive the support 242 through the guide rails 242 a and 242 b, so that the support 242 and the linkage 241 pivot synchronously. At the same time, the pivoting supporting member 242 props up the first body 220 (as shown in FIG. 2C ) through the supporting end e2 . When the second body 230 pivots to 90 degrees, the first engaging structure 242c is aligned with the second engaging structure 212c, as shown in FIG. 3C .

As shown in FIG. 3D , if the user continues to increase the pivoting angle of the second body 230, since the supporting member 242 has not been subjected to the abutment effect of the surface S in the +y direction, the linking member 241 that continues to pivot will pass through the two The protrusions 241 a and 241 b function with the two guide rails 242 a and 242 b, and in combination with the elastic force of the elastic element 243 , exert a force on the support member 242 in the -y direction. That is to say, the supporting member 242 will not pivot synchronously, but will be in close contact with the second pivot portion 212 horizontally, so that the first engaging structure 242c and the second engaging structure 212c are correspondingly engaged. Thus, the supporting member 242 is fixed on the second pivot portion 212 to maintain the relative angle between the first body 220 and the base 210 (for example, 7 degrees). And when the supporting member 242 continues to move left until it is completely close to the surface S, the radians of the guide rails 242a and 242b return to vertical (parallel to the z-axis), so that the linking member 241 will no longer exert force on the supporting member 242 . Thus, the second body 230 can pivot arbitrarily after exceeding 90 degrees without changing the angle of the first body 220 .

Conversely, when the user wants to restore the closed state, that is, the linkage 241 in FIG. 3D pivots with the second body 230, and will exert a force on the support 242 toward +y, so that the first engaging structure 242c and The second engaging structure 212c is separated, and pivots back to the state shown in FIG. 3C from an angle greater than 90 degrees. Next, when the linkage 241 continues to pivot to the state shown in FIG. 3B , as in the previous situation, the support 242 does not move on the y-axis and pivots 90 degrees synchronously with the linkage 241, so that the electronic device 200 reaches the state shown in FIG. 2B the closed state.

Of course, those with ordinary knowledge in the technical field of the present utility model can also understand that the technology of the present utility model is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments. Firstly, depending on the relative configuration relationship between the support end e2 of the support member 242 and the first body 220, or the alignment angle between the first engaging structure 242c and the second engaging structure 212c, etc., the maximum supporting position of the first body 220 The angle is not limited to the 7 degrees shown in the embodiment, and can be changed according to the actual application of the electronic device and ergonomic considerations. Moreover, the pivoting angle of the second body 230 when the first body 220 reaches the maximum supporting angle is also not limited to the above example of 90 degrees. Those skilled in the art can make changes to the relevant design such as the number of protrusions and the radian of the guide rail and the aforementioned detailed structures to achieve the desired specific angle. Certainly, the electronic device is not limited to the notebook computer, and any other electronic device with a similar opening and closing body can be applied to the design of the adjusting device of the present invention.

The electronic device disclosed in the above-mentioned embodiments of the present invention allows the user to automatically adjust the angle of the host body when opening and closing the screen body through the design of the adjustment device. Therefore, in addition to effectively increasing the heat dissipation effect compared with traditional notebook computers, it is more convenient for users to easily adjust the keyboard angle by simply opening and closing the screen without manual methods, and quickly create the desired working environment.
