Description

Electronic devices

The present invention relates to an electronic device.

The usage modes of an electronic device (e.g., a laptop) may include a closed mode and a tablet mode. The tablet mode means that the display surface of the electronic device faces outward and the electronic device can be used as a tablet. The closed mode means that the display surface of the electronic device faces inward and cannot display. The usage modes of today's electronic devices are limited by their hinge assemblies. When switching between the closed mode and the tablet mode, the two bodies of the electronic device cannot remain parallel. The two bodies are tilted relative to each other and there is a gap, which is inconvenient to use.

The present invention provides an electronic device that is easy to use.

The electronic device of the present invention comprises a first body, a support frame, a second body and at least one pivot assembly. The support frame is rotatably connected to the first body. The second body is rotatably connected to the support frame. Each pivot assembly comprises a first connecting member, a second connecting member, a first rotating member, a second rotating member and a driving module. The first connecting member is connected to the first body, the second connecting member is connected to the support frame and is rotatably connected to the first rotating member. The first rotating member is rotatably connected to the first connecting member and comprises a sliding groove and a rotating groove. The second rotating member is movably connected to the second connecting member and the first rotating member, the second rotating member comprises a column, and the driving module is connected to the second body and the second rotating member. When the second body rotates relative to the support frame, the drive module drives the column to move in the sliding groove and the rotating groove to lock or unlock the first rotating member.

Based on the above, the support frame (second body) of the electronic device of the present invention can rotate relative to the first body through the hinge assembly. The drive module of the hinge assembly drives the column to move in the sliding groove and the rotating groove according to the relative rotation between the second body and the support frame to lock or unlock the first rotating member. In this way, the second body is stacked in parallel with the first body regardless of whether the electronic device is in closed mode or tablet mode, making the electronic device convenient to use.

Cartesian coordinates X-Y-Z are provided here to facilitate component description. Please refer to FIG. 1A to FIG. 4 simultaneously. The electronic device 100 includes a first body 110, a support frame 130, a second body 120 and at least one pivot assembly 200. The number of pivot assemblies 200 in this embodiment is two, but is not limited thereto. The hinge assembly 200 is connected to the support frame 130 and the first body 110, so that the support frame 130 is rotatably connected to the first body 110. The second body 120 is rotatably connected to the support frame 130, and rotates relative to the first body 110 through the support frame 130 and the hinge assembly 200. The second body 120 includes a display surface 126. The electronic device 100 is, for example, a notebook computer, but is not limited thereto.

The first body 110 includes a first end 112 and a second end 114 opposite to each other, and the second body 120 includes a third end 122 and a fourth end 124 opposite to each other. One end 134 of the support frame 130 is connected to the second end 114 of the first body 110, and the other end 132 is connected to the second body 120 and is located between the third end 122 and the fourth end 124. The pivot assembly 200 is connected to the second end 114 of the first body 110 and the end 134 of the support frame 130. The second body 120 and the support frame 130 may be connected, for example, via a rotating member (not shown), but is not limited thereto.

The electronic device 100 can be switched between a first state M1, a second state M2 (FIG. 7A), and a third state M3 (FIG. 9A) through the hinge assembly 200. The display surface 126 of the electronic device 100 can face different directions in different states, which can improve the convenience of use and the scope of application of the electronic device 100. The first body 110 and the second body 120 of the electronic device 100 remain parallel in the first state M1 and the third state M3 to improve the convenience of use of the electronic device 100.

As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4 , each pivot assembly 200 includes a first connecting member 210, a second connecting member 270, a first rotating member 220, a second rotating member 230, and a driving module 280. The first connecting member 210 is connected to the first body 110. The second connecting member 270 is connected to the support frame 130 and is rotatably connected to the first rotating member 220. The first rotating member 220 is rotatably connected to the first connecting member 210 and includes a sliding groove 223 and a rotating groove 224 connected thereto. The second rotating member 230 is movably connected to the second connecting member 270 and the first rotating member 220.

The second rotating member 230 includes a column 231. The driving module 280 is connected to the second body 120 and the second rotating member 230. When the second body 120 rotates relative to the support frame 130, the driving module 280 drives the column 231 to move in the sliding groove 223 and the rotating groove 224 to lock or unlock the first rotating member 220. When the second body 120 rotates relative to the first body 110, the second body 120 drives the support frame 130 to rotate, and then drives the second connecting member 270 to rotate. The second connecting member 270 includes a connecting plate 272 and a connecting rod 274 connected to each other. The connecting plate 272 is connected to the support frame 130, and the second rotating member 230 is movably connected to the connecting plate 272. The connecting rod 274 is inserted through the first rotating member 220. The column 231 of the second rotating member 230 abuts against the connecting rod 274 and can slide or rotate relative to the connecting rod 274.

The first connecting member 210 includes a main body 212 and an extension 214 connected to each other, and the main body 212 includes a slot 213. The first rotating member 220 includes a head 221 and a neck 222 connected to each other. The main body 212 is connected to the first body 110, and the neck 222 is penetrated through the main body 212 through the slot 213. The diameter of the head 221 is larger than the diameter of the neck 222, and larger than the width of the slot 213, so that the first rotating member 220 is stably located at the position of Figure 2, corresponding to the extension 214.

The extension portion 214 includes two opposite end portions 215 and 216. The end portion 215 is adjacent to a bottom surface 116 of the first body 110, and the end portion 216 is away from the bottom surface 116 of the first body 110. The head portion 221 is movably connected to the extension portion 214. The head portion 221 (first rotating member 220) can move between the two end portions 215 and 216, so that the second rotating member 230 moves in the Z-axis direction relative to the first body 110 and is lifted or lowered, so as to drive the support frame 130 and the second body 120 to be lifted or lowered. The head portion 221 of the first rotating member 220 is specifically a gear G1, and the extension portion 214 of the first connecting member 210 is specifically a gear G2. The gear G1 (head portion 221) is engaged with the gear G2 (extension portion 214). When the first rotating member 220 (head 221) rotates relative to the first connecting member 210 (extension portion 214), the first rotating member 220 can move relative to the first connecting member 210 through the head 221. The slot 213 and the extension portion 214 extend along a first axis L1 to limit the first rotating member 220 from moving relative to the first connecting member 210 along the first axis L1. The first axis L1 is inclined to the X axis, the Y axis and the Z axis, but is not limited thereto.

As shown in FIG. 4 , the sliding groove 223 and the rotating groove 224 of the first rotating member 220 are located at the neck 222. The sliding groove 223 extends along a second axis L2, and the rotating groove 224 surrounds the second axis L2. The sliding groove 223 and the rotating groove 224 are in an L shape. The second axis L2 is perpendicular to the first axis L1 and parallel to the Y axis. The second axis L2 is the central axis of the first rotating member 220. The sliding groove 223 and the rotating groove 224 are used to limit the relative movement and rotation of the column 231 and the first rotating member 220. When the second body 120 rotates relative to the support frame 130, the column 231 moves in the sliding groove 223 and the rotating groove 224 along the second axis L2.

When the cylinder 231 is located in the sliding groove 223, the cylinder 231 (the second rotating member 230) can slide along the second axis L2 relative to the first rotating member 220. When the cylinder 231 is located in the rotating groove 224, the cylinder 231 (the second rotating member 230) can rotate relative to the first rotating member 220 with the second axis L2 as the rotating axis. The pivot assembly 200 further includes an elastic member 240. The elastic member 240 is connected between the second rotating member 230 and the connecting plate 272 of the second connecting member 270 along the Y axis. The elastic member 240 is, for example, a spring to provide elastic force.

As shown in FIG. 1B and FIG. 4 , the driving module 280 includes a first magnetic member 282 and a second magnetic member 284. The first magnetic member 282 is disposed at the third end 122 of the second body 120, and the second magnetic member 284 is disposed at the second rotating member 230. There is a magnetic force between the first magnetic member 282 and the second magnetic member 284. When the second body 120 rotates relative to the support frame 130, the first magnetic member 282 can move closer to or away from the second magnetic member 284. The second rotating member 230 can be driven by the magnetic force between the first magnetic member 282 and the second magnetic member 284, so that the column 231 moves between the sliding groove 223 and the rotating groove 224.

Specifically, there is a magnetic attraction between the first magnetic member 282 and the second magnetic member 284 of the present embodiment, but it is not limited thereto. The distance D1 between the first magnetic member 282 and one side S1 of the second body 120 is smaller than the distance D2 between the second magnetic member 284 and one side S2 of the support frame 130, but it is not limited thereto. The side S1 of the second body 120 is aligned with the side S2 of the support frame 130. It can be seen that the first magnetic member 282 and the second magnetic member 284 are misaligned on the Y axis. When the first magnetic member 282 moves closer to the second magnetic member 284 and the elastic force of the elastic member 240 is smaller than the magnetic attraction between the first magnetic member 282 and the second magnetic member 284, the second magnetic member 284 is driven by the magnetic attraction and pushes the second rotating member 230 to move closer to the first magnetic member 282. The second rotating member 230 moves away from the head 221 of the first rotating member 220 along the second axis L2, so that the column 231 is located in the rotating groove 224.

When the first magnetic member 282 moves away from the second magnetic member 284, and the elastic force of the elastic member 240 is greater than the magnetic attraction between the first magnetic member 282 and the second magnetic member 284, the second rotating member 230 (second magnetic member 284) moves along the second axis L2 to approach the head 221 of the first rotating member 220 through the elastic force, so that the column 231 is located in the sliding groove 223. In addition, the pivot assembly 200 further includes a torque assembly 260 for providing torque. The torque assembly 260 is connected to the connecting rod 274 of the second connecting member 270.

The relative position of the first magnetic member 282 and the second magnetic member 284 and the actuation mode of the elastic member 240 are not limited to this embodiment. In an embodiment not shown, there may be a magnetic repulsion force between the first magnetic member 282 and the second magnetic member 284. The first magnetic member 282 and the second magnetic member 284 may be aligned on the Y axis. When the first magnetic member 282 moves closer to the second magnetic member 284, the second magnetic member 284 may be driven by the magnetic repulsion force to move away from the first magnetic member 282 to drive the second rotating member 230 to move relative to the first rotating member 220. The elastic member 240 may push or pull the second rotating member 230 to move by the elastic force.

FIG. 1A to FIG. 3 show the electronic device 100 in the first state M1. As shown in FIG. 1A to FIG. 3, in the first state M1, the first end 112 of the first body 110 corresponds to the third end 122 of the second body 120, and the second end 114 of the first body 110 corresponds to the fourth end 124 of the second body 120. That is, the first end 112 is adjacent to the third end 122; the second end 114 is adjacent to the fourth end 124. The support frame 130 is located between the first body 110 and the second body 120. The display surface 126 of the second body 120 is facing away from the first body 110 and is displayed outwardly. The electronic device 100 can be used as a tablet computer, which means that the first state M1 can be regarded as the use state of a tablet computer. The second body 120 includes a receiving groove 127, and the support frame 130 is received in the receiving groove 127, so that the first body 110 is parallel to the second body 120. The first body 110 includes a receiving space 115, and the pivot assembly 200 is located in the receiving space 115.

As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 , in the first state M1, the head 221 of the first rotating member 220 is located at the end 215 of the extension 214 of the first connecting member 210. The third end 122 of the second body 120 is far away from the pivot assembly 200 connected to the second end 114 of the first body 110, so that the magnetic attraction between the first magnetic member 282 and the second magnetic member 284 is much smaller than the elastic force of the elastic member 240. The elastic member 240 positions the second rotating member 230 at the position shown in FIG. 2 through the elastic force. At this time, the column 231 of the second rotating member 230 is located in the sliding groove 223 of the first rotating member 220, and the first rotating member 220 is unlocked. The first rotating member 220 can rotate relative to the first connecting member 210 and can move relative to the first connecting member 210 along the first axis L1.

FIG5 is a schematic diagram of the second body of the electronic device of FIG1B after rotation. FIG6 is a schematic diagram of the hinge assembly of FIG5. Please refer to FIG5 and FIG6 simultaneously. When the electronic device 100 is to be switched from the first state M1 (FIG1A) to the second state M2 (FIG7A), the third end 122 of the second body 120 may be subjected to force, so that the second body 120 (support frame 130) is first rotated to the position of FIG5 relative to the first body 110. At this time, the second body 120 does not rotate relative to the support frame 130, the fourth end 124 of the second body 120 corresponds to the second end 114 of the first body 110, and the display surface 126 of the second body 120 is displayed toward the rear (i.e., -X axis).

As shown in FIG6 , the rotation of the second body 120 (support frame 130) drives the second rotating member 230 to rotate relative to the first connecting member 210. Since the column 231 of the second rotating member 230 is located in the sliding groove 223 of the first rotating member 220, the rotation of the column 231 pushes the first rotating member 220, so that the first rotating member 220 rotates relative to the first connecting member 210 with the second axis L2 as the axis. At this time, the head 221 (gear G1) of the first rotating member 220 rotates relative to the extension portion 214 (gear G2) of the first connecting member 210, so that the first rotating member 220 moves upward (i.e., +Z axis) relative to the first connecting member 210 along the first axis L1 while rotating. The second rotating member 230 and the second connecting member 270 are lifted as the first rotating member 220 moves upward along the first axis L1. The second body 120 and the supporting frame 130 are lifted relative to the first body 110. Part of the second rotating member 230 is located outside the accommodation space 115 of the first body 110.

When the head 221 (gear G1) moves to the end 216 of the extension 214 (gear G2), the second body 120 expands to a maximum angle A relative to the first body 110. The maximum angle A is, for example, 130 degrees, but is not limited thereto. The length of the extension 214 along the first axis L1 limits the size of the maximum angle A.

FIG. 7A is a schematic diagram of the electronic device of FIG. 1A in the second state. FIG. 7B is another schematic diagram of the electronic device of FIG. 7A. FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram of the hinge assembly of FIG. 7B. Please refer to FIG. 7A to FIG. 8 simultaneously. After the second body 120 is opened to the position of FIG. 6, the second body 120 may be subjected to force, so that the second body 120 rotates 180 degrees relative to the support frame 130, and the electronic device 100 switches to the second state M2. The second state M2 can be regarded as the unfolded state in the laptop mode. In the second state M2, the second end 114 of the first body 110 corresponds to the third end 122 of the second body 120. That is, the distance between the second end 114 and the third end 122 is smaller than the distance between the second end 114 and the fourth end 124, and the second end 114 is adjacent to the third end 122 and aligned with the third end 122. The second body 120 is unfolded relative to the first body 110, and the display surface 126 is displayed facing forward (i.e., +X axis direction). The second rotating member 230 is partially located outside the accommodation space 115 of the first body 110, and the second body 120, the support frame 130 and the second rotating member 230 move in the Z axis direction and are lifted relative to the first body 110.

As shown in FIG. 1B and FIG. 7B , when the electronic device 100 switches to the second state M2, the first magnetic member 282 of the drive module 280 moves closer to the second magnetic member 284, so that the magnetic attraction force is greater than the elastic force. Since the first magnetic member 282 and the second magnetic member 284 are misaligned on the Y axis, the second magnetic member 284 pushes the second rotating member 230 along the second axis L2 away from the first rotating member 220 by the magnetic attraction force. The second magnetic member 284 and the second rotating member 230 move closer to the first magnetic member 282, so that the second rotating member 230 is located at the position of FIG. 7B . The distance between the second magnetic member 284 and the side S2 of the support frame 130 in the second state M2 is less than the distance D2 ( FIG. 1B ) in the first state M1.

As shown in FIG. 7B and FIG. 8 , in the second state M2, the cylinder 231 is located in the rotation groove 224 of the first rotating member 220 and locks the first rotating member 220. The first rotating member 220 does not move relative to the first connecting member 210 and is fixed in the position of FIG. 8 . The first rotating member 220 is located at the end 216 of the first connecting member 210 away from the first body 110. The cylinder 231 abuts against one end 224a of the rotation groove 224. The elastic member 240 is deformed and accumulates elastic force. The second rotating member 230 can rotate with the second axis L2 as the axis.

FIG. 9A is a schematic diagram of the electronic device of FIG. 7A in the third state. FIG. 9B is another schematic diagram of the electronic device of FIG. 9A. FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram of the hinge assembly of FIG. 9B. Please refer to FIG. 9A to FIG. 10 simultaneously. When the electronic device 100 is to be switched from the second state M2 (FIG. 8) to the third state M3, the second body 120 may be subjected to force, and the second body 120 and the support frame 130 rotate relative to the first body 110 and close to the first body 110, so that the electronic device 100 is in the third state M3. The third state M3 can be regarded as a closed state in the laptop mode. In the third state M3, the first end 112 of the first body 110 corresponds to the fourth end 124 of the second body 120, and the second end 114 corresponds to the third end 122. That is, the first end 112 is adjacent to the fourth end 124; the second end 114 is adjacent to the third end 122. The display surface 126 of the second body 120 faces the first body 110. The support frame 130 is located outside the receiving groove 127 of the second body 120.

As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 10 , in the first state M1, the pivot assembly 200 is located in the accommodation space 115 of the first body 110, and the first rotating member 220 and the second rotating member 230 are adjacent to the bottom surface 116 of the first body 110. The first body 110 is parallel to the second body 120. In the third state M3, the second rotating member 230 of the pivot assembly 200 is partially located outside the accommodation space 115 of the first body 110, and the first rotating member 220 and the second rotating member 230 are far away from the bottom surface 116 of the first body 110. The second body 120, the support frame 130 and the second rotating member 230 are lifted relative to the first body 110, so that the second body 120 can be located between the support frame 130 and the first body 110, so that the first body 110 is parallel to the second body 120.

As shown in FIG. 9B , when the electronic device 100 switches to the third state M3, since the column 231 of the second rotating member 230 is located in the rotating groove 224 of the first rotating member 220, the rotation of the second body 120 (support frame 130) drives the column 231 (second rotating member 230) to rotate relative to the first rotating member 220 with the second axis L2 as the rotating axis. In the third state M3, the column 231 is located in the rotating groove 224 and abuts against the other end 224b of the rotating groove 224. The head 221 of the first rotating member 220 is still located at the end 216 of the extension portion 214 of the first connecting member 210. The magnetic attraction between the first magnetic member 282 and the second magnetic member 284 is still greater than the elastic force of the elastic member 240, and the elastic member 240 is deformed and accumulates elastic force.

When the electronic device 100 is to be switched from the third state M3 of FIG. 10 to the first state M1 of FIG. 3 , the second body 120 may be forced to open relative to the first body 110, and the electronic device 100 is first switched to the second state M2 of FIG. 8 . In the process of switching from the third state M3 to the second state M2, the first rotating member 220 is still locked by the second rotating member 230 and is positioned at the end 216 of the first connecting member 210 . The column 231 of the second rotating member 230 rotates in the rotating groove 224 of the first rotating member 220 and abuts against the end 224a of the rotating groove 224.

Then, the second body 120 can be subjected to force and rotate relative to the support frame 130, and the second body 120 rotates from the position of Figure 8 to the position of Figure 6. During the rotation of the second body 120, the first magnetic member 282 disposed at the third end 122 of the second body 120 moves away from the second magnetic member 284, so that the magnetic attraction force is smaller than the elastic force of the elastic member 240. At this time, the second rotating member 230 (second magnetic member 284) moves along the second axis L2 to approach the head 221 of the first rotating member 220 through the elastic force, so that the column 231 is located in the sliding groove 223 to unlock the first rotating member 220.

Finally, the second body 120 may be closed relative to the first body 110 due to the force, so that the electronic device 100 switches from the position of FIG. 6 to the first state M1 of FIG. 3. During the rotation of the second body 120, the second body 120 (support frame 130) drives the second rotating member 230 to rotate, and the column 231 pushes the first rotating member 220 to rotate with the second axis L2 as the axis. During the rotation process, the first rotating member 220 simultaneously moves along the first axis L1 relative to the first connecting member 210, so that the first rotating member 220 moves to the position of FIG. 3. The first rotating member 220 and the second rotating member 230 move close to the bottom surface 116 of the first body 110, so that the second body 120 and the support frame 130 descend to the position of FIG. 3 relative to the first body 110. The first rotating member 220 corresponds to the end 215 of the first connecting member 210.

The hinge assembly 200 of this embodiment can move the column 231 of the second rotating member 230 between the sliding groove 223 and the rotating groove 224 of the first rotating member 220 through the magnetic attraction of the driving module 280, thereby locking or unlocking the first rotating member 220. In this way, the electronic device 100 can freely switch between the first state M1, the second state M2 and the third state M3 through the hinge assembly 200.

In summary, the support frame (second body) of the electronic device of the present invention can rotate relative to the first body through the hinge assembly. The drive module of the hinge assembly drives the column to move in the sliding groove and the rotating groove according to the relative rotation between the second body and the support frame to lock or unlock the first rotating member. In this way, the second body is stacked in parallel with the first body regardless of whether the electronic device is in the closed mode or the tablet mode, making the electronic device convenient to use.
