Electronic device and adsorption assembly

The present invention relates to an electronic device and an adsorption assembly, and more particularly to an electronic device having a suction cup member and an adsorption assembly.

With the advancement of technology and the popularity of mobile networks, consumer demand for portable electronic devices such as detachable two-in-one tablet (2 in 1 detachable tablet) or notebook computers has increased, for example, thin and light. Easy to carry, that is, an important amount when consumers buy.

A variety of thin and light electronic devices have been seen on the market, but the thinned electronic devices are likely to cause unstable center of gravity when used due to weight reduction. For example, when using a notebook computer, the user spreads the screen cover and the keyboard base, and the center of gravity of the notebook computer moves to the screen cover as the angle of the screen cover increases relative to the keyboard base opening, thereby causing the notebook computer to become a notebook computer. The center of gravity is unstable and there is a possibility of dumping. Or, when the user touches the screen, it is easy to make the center of gravity of the notebook unstable and increase the risk of dumping.

In order to avoid the above situation, the operator usually sets a weight such as a lead block at the base of the keyboard to increase the weight of the keyboard base to improve the above-mentioned problem of unstable center of gravity. However, such an approach not only adds unnecessary weight to the electronic device, but also cannot achieve thinning and thinning, and further increases manufacturing costs.

In view of this, the present invention provides an electronic device and an adsorption assembly, thereby improving the problem that the conventional electronic device is easily dumped due to unstable center of gravity.

An electronic device according to the present invention includes a main body and at least one adsorption assembly. The body has at least one set of joints. The adsorption assembly comprises a shell member, a suction cup member and a movable member. The suction cup member is fixed to the shell member and has an air chamber extending through the suction cup member. The air chamber has a first air port and a second air port opposite to each other. The movable member is slidably disposed on the shell member and includes a connected connecting portion and a cap pressing portion. The connecting portion is coupled to at least one set of joints. The cover portion closes the first air port of the suction cup member when the main body interlocks the connecting portion such that the cover pressing portion abuts against the suction cup member. When the main body interlocks the connecting portion such that the lid pressing portion is relatively far from the suction cup member, the lid pressing portion is separated from the first port.

An adsorption assembly according to the present invention is provided for being disposed on a portable device. The adsorption assembly includes a shell member, a suction cup member and a movable member. The suction cup member is fixedly disposed on the shell member and has an air chamber extending through the suction cup member. The air chamber has a first air port and a second air port opposite to each other. The movable member is slidably disposed on the case member and includes a connecting portion and a cover pressing portion. The connection portion is connected to the portable device. When the portable device interlocks the connecting portion so that the cover pressing portion is relatively close to the suction cup member, the cover pressing portion closes the first air port of the suction cup member. When the portable device interlocks the connecting portion such that the cover pressing portion is relatively far from the suction cup member, the cover pressing portion is disengaged from the first air port.

The electronic device and the adsorption assembly disclosed in the present invention are fixed to the shell member by the suction cup member, and the movable member assembled to the main body is slidably disposed on the shell member, so that the connecting portion of the movable member is linked by the main body. The cover member of the movable member can be relatively close to or away from the suction member, so that when the cover portion of the movable member is closed to the first port of the suction member, the adsorption assembly can be adsorbed on the carrier, thereby effectively preventing the conventional electronic The device is prone to dumping due to unstable center of gravity.

In addition, compared with the conventional electronic device, since the electronic device and the adsorption assembly proposed by the present invention adopt the principle of adsorption to prevent dumping, there is no need to additionally provide a lead block to increase the weight, which not only contributes to the realization of slim and light design, but also It can reduce the cost of manufacturing.

The above description of the present invention and the following description of the embodiments are intended to illustrate and explain the principles of the invention, and to provide a further explanation of the scope of the invention.

In detail, the connecting portion 211 of the movable member 210 is disposed through the upper opening 231a, so that the cover pressing portion 213 of the movable member 210 is movably located on the cover member. 230 is accommodated in slot S1.

The chuck member 250 is fixed to the bottom 235 of the case member 230. The chuck member 250 has an air chamber S3 extending through the chuck member 250. The air chamber S3 has a first port 250a1 and a second port 250a2 opposite to each other. Specifically, the first port 250a1 is located at one end of the chuck member 250 that is adjacent to the movable member 210. In contrast, the second port 250a2 is located at one end of the chuck member 250 away from the movable member 210. Moreover, as can be seen from the above, the cover pressing portion 213 can be relatively close to or away from the first port 250a1 of the chuck member 250. In addition, in the embodiment, the material of the chuck member 250 may be, but not limited to, a thermoplastic elastomer, a thermoplastic polymer (TPU) or a rubber.

Next, please refer to FIG. 4, but it should be noted that FIG. 4 will omit the aforementioned body 10 for the purpose of clear illustration. As can be seen from the figure, the movable member 210 further includes a plurality of first guiding portions 215. The first guiding portion 215 is a groove and is formed on the cover pressing portion 213, but is not limited thereto. The shell member 230 further includes a plurality of second guiding portions 237. The second guiding portion 237 is a protrusion, disposed on an inner wall surface of the annular side portion 233, and corresponding to the first guiding portion 215 of the movable member 210 as a groove, so that the second guiding portion 237 is movable. The first guiding portion 215 is disposed.

Next, the explanation will be made based on the actual use, please refer to Figures 5A-7B. FIG. 5A is a side view of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5B is a partially enlarged side cross-sectional view of Figure 5A of the present invention. 6A is a side view of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 6B is a partially enlarged side cross-sectional view of Figure 6A of the present invention. FIG. 7A is a side view of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 7B is a partially enlarged side cross-sectional view of Figure 7A of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 5A to FIG. 5B, when the user gently places the electronic device 1 on a carrier 90, the chuck member 250 temporarily maintains an undeformed state, and the chuck member 250 firstly opposes the carrier 90 to The carrier 90 is closed to the second port 250a2 of the chuck member 250.

Next, as shown in FIGS. 6A-6B, the user can press the body 10 in the direction of the arrow A, for example, in the direction of the carrier 90, or the user can let the user 10 be driven by its own weight to press against the carrier 90. . In this case, the main body 10 interlocks the connecting portion 211 of the movable member 210 so that the cover pressing portion 213 first closes and closes the first air port 250a1 of the suction cup member 250, so that the carrier 90 and the cover pressing portion 213 respectively close the suction cup. The second port 250a2 of the member 250 and the first port 250a1 together enclose the air chamber S3 of the chuck member 250. Then, the cap pressing portion 213 continues to press the chuck member 250 to force the gas in the air chamber S3 of the chuck member 250 to be discharged, so that the air chamber S3 is in a negative pressure state. In this way, the main body 10 can be prevented from being tilted by the body member 10 by being firmly adsorbed on the carrier 90 by the chuck member 250.

It can be understood that, since the connecting portion 211 of the adsorption assembly 20 is a universal joint, the connecting portion 110 of the main body 10 is a groove matching the universal joint, so that the connecting portion 211 and the connecting portion 110 can rotate relative to each other. . Therefore, when the user uses the electronic device 1, for example, when the touch screen is normally used, or when the electronic device 1 is subjected to an unintended collision and shakes, the combination of the groove structure 110 and the universal joint structure can be adopted. The relative rotation generated between the connecting portions 211 slows the sway of the main body 10, and prevents the main body 10 from being subjected to an external force to generate an upward pulling force on the lid pressing portion 213, so that the lid pressing portion 213 is detached from the first port 250a1 of the chuck member 250 and the suction cup is erroneously released. The adsorption state of the member 250 can further improve the reliability of the adsorption state between the adsorption assembly 20 and the carrier 90. In other words, by the aforementioned design of the connection portion 211 and the assembly portion 110, the user can be prevented from using the touch. It is easy to push down the entire device during the screen, or the user may cause the entire electronic device to fall due to accidental pushing of the electronic device.

In addition, as can be seen from FIG. 6B, the structure of the chuck member 250 can be received in the recess S2 of the case member 230, contributing to the improvement of the aesthetics of the overall electronic device 1.

In addition, since the movable member 210 and the suction cup member 250 are both made of an elastic material, the reliability of the cover portion 213 of the movable member 210 to close the first air port 250a1 of the suction member 250 is improved.

Moreover, since the foregoing second guiding portion 237 which is a protrusion is movable and disposed on the first guiding portion 215 which is a groove, the movable member 210 can be prevented from being displaced during the movement of the movable member 210 relative to the housing member 230. The problem that the cap pressing portion 213 cannot completely seal the first port 250a1 of the chuck member 250 is caused.

Next, as shown in FIGS. 7A-7B, when the user wants to release the adsorption of the electronic device 1 to the carrier 90, the user can lift the main body 10 away from the carrier 90, for example, along the arrow B, that is, along the opposite side. The body 10 is lifted up in the direction of the aforementioned arrow A. In this case, the main body 10 interlocks the connecting portion 211 of the movable member 210 to move the cover pressing portion 213 upward relative to the case member 230 to be disengaged from the first air port 250a1 of the chuck member 250. Then, air can enter the air chamber S3 via the first port 250a1. It is understood that the entry of air will drive the chuck member 250 to naturally return to the state as shown in FIG. 5B to release the suction of the carrier member 90 by the chuck member 250. As a result, the electronic device 1 can be detached from the carrier 90.

In addition, referring to FIG. 3, the movable member 210 of the embodiment further includes a protruding portion 217 protruding from the cover pressing portion 213 and corresponding to the first air port 250a1 of the suction cup member 250. When the cover pressing portion 213 is relatively close to and closes the first air port 250a1 of the chuck member 250, it is understood that due to the elastic property of the material of the movable member 210, a portion of the protruding portion 217 can be inserted into the air chamber via the first port 250a1. In S3, to increase the reliability of the closed air chamber S3. However, it will be understood that the arrangement of the projections 217 is optional and is not intended to limit the invention.

In addition, it should be noted that the number of the adsorption components 20 is not limited to the foregoing embodiment. For example, in other embodiments, two or more adsorption components 20 may be disposed in the electronic device, or even only one single adsorption component 20 is disposed. . In this case, it can be understood that the number of the joint portions 110 of the main body 10 is not limited to the foregoing embodiment, and the user can adjust the assembly portion 110 to one or two or more according to the number of the adsorption assemblies 20 . Quantity.

Furthermore, the number of the first guiding portion 215 and the second guiding portion 237 is not limited to the foregoing embodiment, and the design of the movable member 210 that does not shift relative to the housing member 230 is the present invention. The scope. For example, in other embodiments, the number of the first guiding portion 215 and the second guiding portion 237 is one, and corresponds to each other. Moreover, the shape of the first guiding portion 215 and the second guiding portion 237 is not limited to the foregoing embodiment. For example, in other embodiments, the first guiding portion 215 can be a protrusion and the second guiding Portion 237 can be a groove that mates with the tab.

In summary, the electronic device and the adsorption assembly disclosed in the present invention are fixed to the case member by the suction cup member, and the movable member assembled to the main body can be slidably disposed on the design of the case member, so that the movable member is The connecting portion is interlocked with the main body to enable the lid pressing portion of the movable member to be relatively close to or away from the suction cup member. Therefore, when the lid pressing portion of the movable member is closed to the first air port of the suction cup member, the adsorption assembly can be adsorbed on the carrier body, thereby effectively The problem of preventing the traditional electronic device from being easily dumped due to unstable center of gravity.

It can be understood that the electronic device proposed by the present invention does not need any passive components, such as buttons, push buttons, and the like. As long as the whole device is in contact with the ground, the adsorption action can be completed. When the whole device is picked up, the adsorption can be released and separated from the ground, and the operation process is simple, and the efficiency of the adsorption operation is improved.

In addition, compared with the conventional electronic device, since the electronic device and the adsorption assembly proposed by the present invention adopt the principle of adsorption to prevent dumping, it is not necessary to provide an additional lead block to increase the weight, which not only contributes to the design of thinning and thinning, It also reduces the cost of manufacturing.

Although the embodiments of the present invention are disclosed above, it is not intended to limit the present invention, and those skilled in the art, regardless of the spirit and scope of the present invention, the shapes, configurations, and features described in the scope of the present application. And the number of modifications may be made, and the scope of patent protection of the present invention shall be determined by the scope of the patent application attached to the specification.
