Description

Portable electronic devices

The present invention relates to a portable electronic device, and more particularly to a portable electronic device comprising a joystick.

In order to enhance the user experience, in addition to the buttons, the handheld game console usually also includes one or more joysticks. In addition, in order to facilitate the operation of the joystick, the joystick is fixed to the main body of the handheld game console and protrudes from it.

However, the joystick protruding from the main body of the console is not only easy to be worn, but also easy to be hit to a large extent when the game console falls. In addition, the joystick protruding from the main body of the console makes it difficult to store the game console. In other words, the traditional fixed joystick protruding from the main body of the console has the problem of being easily damaged and making the game console difficult to store.

The present invention provides a portable electronic device, comprising a lifting assembly that allows a joystick to protrude from a main body or be stored in the main body, so as to reduce the probability of damage to the joystick and make the portable electronic device more convenient to store.

The portable electronic device disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention includes a main body and at least one joystick assembly. The at least one joystick assembly is arranged on the main body and includes a lifting assembly and a joystick. The lifting assembly is arranged in the main body and includes a rotating cylinder and a lifting seat. The rotating cylinder is rotatably arranged on the main body. The rotating cylinder has at least one first guide structure. The lifting seat has at least one second guide structure. One of the at least one first guide structure and the at least one second guide structure is a guiding slope. The other of the at least one first guide structure and the at least one second guide structure is a guiding protrusion. The lifting seat is movably arranged in the rotating cylinder through the at least one first guide structure and the at least one second guide structure. The joystick is fixed to the lifting seat. The rotating cylinder is used to drive the rocker to move up and down along a moving direction through the lifting seat, so that the rocker protrudes from the main machine body or is stored in the main machine body.

According to the portable electronic device disclosed in the above embodiment, the lifting seat is movably disposed on the rotating cylinder through the first guide structure and the second guide structure, so that the rotating cylinder can drive the joystick to protrude from the main body or be stored in the main body through the lifting seat. In this way, when the user wants to use the portable electronic device, the joystick can be protruded from the main body to facilitate the operation of the joystick. When the user finishes using the portable electronic device, the joystick can be stored in the main body. In this case, the joystick stored in the main body will have a lower probability of being damaged, and the portable electronic device can be stored more conveniently.

In addition, since the joystick is raised and lowered by the rotation of the rotating cylinder, the joystick assembly will not occupy too much space in the main body along the direction of the joystick's movement. In other words, the space in the thickness direction of the main body can be effectively used to set the joystick assembly. In this way, a thinner main body can be used to accommodate the joystick assembly, thereby improving the convenience of carrying and using the portable electronic device.

In addition, by designing a guide structure as a guide slope or a guide protrusion on the rotating cylinder and the lifting seat to drive the lifting of the joystick, a stable and reliable actuation mechanism can be realized, and the durability of the joystick assembly can be improved while designing the joystick assembly to be small in size.

The following detailed description of the features and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention is provided in the embodiments, and the contents are sufficient to enable any person with ordinary knowledge in the field to understand the technical contents of the embodiments of the present invention and implement them accordingly. Moreover, according to the contents disclosed in this specification, the scope of the patent application and the drawings, any person with ordinary knowledge in the field can easily understand the relevant purposes and advantages of the present invention. The following embodiments are further detailed descriptions of the viewpoints of the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention by any viewpoint.

Please refer to Figures 1 to 4. Figure 1 is a three-dimensional view of a portable electronic device according to a first embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 is a partially enlarged view of the three-dimensional exploded view of the portable electronic device in Figure 1. Figure 3 is a bottom view of the portable electronic device in Figure 1. Figure 4 is a three-dimensional cross-sectional view along the cutting line 4-4 in Figure 3.

In this embodiment, the portable electronic device 10 is, for example, a handheld game console, and includes a main body 100 and two joystick assemblies 150. The main body 100 includes, for example, a base 110 and a cover 120. The cover 120 includes a plate 121 and a plurality of stopper protrusions 122. The plate 121 is disposed on one side of the base 110 and forms a receiving space 140 together with the base 110. The stopper protrusion 122 protrudes from the plate 121 and is located in the receiving space 140.

The two rocker assemblies 150 have similar detailed structures, so the detailed structure of one of the rocker assemblies 150 will be described below. In this embodiment, the rocker assembly 150 includes, for example, a limit seat 200, a lifting assembly 300, a rocker 400, an elastic element 500, a plurality of limit plates 600, a linkage assembly 700 and an operating member 800.

In the present embodiment, the limit seat 200 includes, for example, a first movable member 205 and a second movable member 203. The first movable member 205 has a push-up inclined surface 2050. The second movable member 203 has a push-receiving inclined surface 2030 and a clearance groove 2031. The push-receiving inclined surface 2030 of the second movable member 203 abuts against the push-receiving inclined surface 2050 of the first movable member 205. The first movable member 205 is movably disposed on the plate 121 through an elastic element 210. The elastic element 210 is, for example, a spring. The second movable member 203 is slidably disposed on the base 110. The elastic element 210 is located in the clearance groove 2031. In addition, in the present embodiment, the limit seat 200 has, for example, a first buckle structure 201 and an operating structure 202. The first buckle structure 201 and the operating structure 202 are respectively located at different sides of the first movable member 205. The base 110 has a bottom surface 111 and an opening 112. The bottom surface 111 faces away from the cover plate 120. The opening 112 is located at the bottom surface 111. The operating structure 202 is, for example, located in the opening 112 and exposed to the outside from the opening 112.

The lifting assembly 300 is disposed in the accommodating space 140 and includes a rotating cylinder 310 and a lifting seat 320. The rotating cylinder 310 is rotatably disposed on the base 110. The rotating cylinder 310 has a plurality of first guide structures 311. These first guide structures 311 are, for example, guide slopes and are arranged along the circumferential direction C1 of the rotating cylinder 310. In addition, the first guide structures 311, for example, each have a limiting groove 3110. The limiting groove 3110 is, for example, located on a side of the first guide structure 311 close to the cover plate 120.

The lifting seat 320 is, for example, in the shape of a disk and has a plurality of second guide structures 321. These second guide structures 321 are, for example, guide protrusions and are arranged along the circumferential direction C2 of the lifting seat 320. These second guide structures 321 can be movably pressed against these first guide structures 311, respectively, so that the lifting seat 320 can be movably arranged in the rotating cylinder 310 along a moving direction M (i.e., the Y-axis direction) through the first guide structures 311 and the second guide structures 321. In addition, the normal direction N of these first guide structures 311 is, for example, not parallel to the moving direction M. In addition, the lifting seat 320 also has, for example, a plurality of limiting grooves 322. These limiting grooves 322 are located on an outer peripheral surface 323 of the lifting seat 320 and are separated from each other. In other words, the limiting grooves 322 are arranged along the circumferential direction C2 of the lifting base 320 .

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the number of the first guide structure and the second guide structure. In other embodiments, the rotating cylinder may have only one first guide structure, and the lifting seat may have only one second guide structure. In addition, the present invention is not limited to the form of the first guide structure and the second guide structure. In other embodiments, the forms of the first guide structure and the second guide structure may be interchanged. In other embodiments, the first guide structure may be a guide protrusion, and the second guide structure may be a guide slope.

The joystick 400 is fixed to the lifting base 320. Specifically, the joystick 400 is, for example, an analog joystick, and includes a micro switch 410 and an operating member 420. The micro switch 410 is fixed to the lifting base 320. The operating member 420 is disposed on the micro switch 410. In addition, in this embodiment, the rotating cylinder 310 and the joystick 400 are, for example, coaxially disposed to further reduce the overall volume of the joystick assembly 150. In other embodiments, when the accommodation space of the main machine base is relatively unrestricted, the rotating cylinder and the joystick may not need to be coaxially disposed. In addition, the present invention is not limited to the form of the joystick 400. In other embodiments, the joystick may also be a digital joystick.

The elastic element 500 is, for example, a spring, and two opposite ends of the elastic element 500 are fixed to the lifting seat 320 and the plate 121, respectively. The limiting protrusion 122 is between the plate 121 and the rotating cylinder 310, and surrounds the elastic element 500. In this way, the limiting protrusion 122 can limit the rotating cylinder 310 and the elastic element 500. In this embodiment, the limiting protrusions 122 are separated from each other to reduce the friction between the limiting protrusions 122 and the rotating cylinder 310, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, these limiting protrusions can also be connected to each other.

The limiting plates 600 are fixed to the base 110 and are respectively located in the limiting grooves 322. Therefore, the limiting plates 600 prevent the lifting base 320 from rotating along the Y-axis direction.

In this embodiment, the linkage assembly 700 includes a slider 710 and a connecting rod 720. The slider 710 is slidably disposed on the base 110 and has, for example, a second buckle structure 711. The first buckle structure 201 and the second buckle structure 711 are, for example, matching hook structures. The opposite ends of the connecting rod 720 are respectively pivoted to the slider 710 and the rotating cylinder 310. Specifically, the opposite ends of the connecting rod 720 are, for example, pivoted to the slider 710 and the rotating cylinder 310 through latches 715 and 716. The operating member 800 protrudes from one side of the slider 710. In addition, the operating member 800 is exposed outside the main body 100 through, for example, an opening 113 on the bottom surface 111.

In this embodiment, the slider 710 may also be located between a shielding plate 750 and a portion of the host base 100, and shielded by the shielding plate 750. In this way, the freedom of the slider 710 in the Y-axis direction can be limited.

In this embodiment, the rotating cylinder 310 is used to drive the rocker 400 to rise and fall along the Y-axis direction through the lifting seat 320 , so that the rocker 400 protrudes from the cover plate 120 or is received in the main unit body 100 .

Please refer to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4. When the joystick 400 is stored in the main body 100, the second guide structure 321 is located on the side of the first guide structure 311 away from the cover 120. The first buckle structure 201 and the second buckle structure 711 are separated from each other. In addition, the elastic element 500 provides a downward pulling force to the lifting seat 320 along the negative Y-axis direction. In this way, not only can the joystick 400 fixed to the lifting seat 320 be prevented from falling off from the main body 100 due to the gravity it receives, but also the contact between the second guide structure 321 and the first guide structure 311 can be ensured.

Please refer to Figures 5 and 6. Figure 5 is a partial enlarged view of the bottom view of the portable electronic device in Figure 1, where the joystick protrudes from the main body. Figure 6 is a three-dimensional cross-sectional view along the cutting line 6-6 in Figure 5. When the user wants to use the portable electronic device 10, he can move the operating member 800 in the opening 113 along a sliding direction S (i.e., the negative X-axis direction), and drive the slider 710 to slide along the sliding direction S. In this way, the slider 710 drives the rotating cylinder 310 to rotate along a rotating direction R1 through the connecting rod 720, and overcomes the downward pulling force of the elastic element 500, so that the second guide structure 321 moves from the side of the first guide structure 311 away from the cover plate 120 to the side of the first guide structure 311 close to the cover plate 120. At this time, the rocker 400 rises along the moving direction M (i.e., the positive Y-axis direction) and protrudes from the cover plate 120.

In addition, when the rocker 400 protrudes from the cover plate 120 , the present embodiment provides two limiting mechanisms to ensure that the rocker 400 is maintained at the position protruding from the cover plate 120 .

First, when the rocker 400 protrudes from the cover plate 120, the second guide structure 321 will be located in the limiting groove 3110. A groove bottom surface 3111 of the limiting groove 3110 will stop the second guide structure 321 and prevent the second guide structure 321 from escaping from the limiting groove 3110. In this way, it can ensure that the rocker 400 is maintained at a position protruding from the cover plate 120.

Second, as the slider 710 slides along the sliding direction S, the first buckle structure 201 and the second buckle structure 711 will engage with each other to prevent the slider 710 from sliding along the positive X-axis direction. In this way, the slider 710 can be prevented from driving the rocker 400 to descend (i.e., descend along the negative Y-axis direction) through the connecting rod 720, the rotating cylinder 310 and the lifting seat 320, thereby ensuring that the rocker 400 is maintained at a position protruding from the cover plate 120.

It should be noted that the structural design of the above two limit mechanisms is to facilitate the manufacturing of the joystick assembly 150. However, the present invention is not limited to the above two limit mechanisms. In other embodiments, the above two limit mechanisms may not be provided, and a limit mechanism may be provided for the slider through an elastic element such as a spring. Alternatively, only one of the limit mechanisms may be provided.

In addition, please refer to Figures 6 to 8. Figure 7 is a three-dimensional cross-sectional view of the portable electronic device showing the operation of the limiter. Figure 8 is a side view of the portable electronic device in Figure 7. When the user wants to store the portable electronic device 10, the user can push the operating structure 202 along the positive Y-axis direction to release the engagement between the first buckle structure 201 and the second buckle structure 711. At the same time, the pushing inclined surface 2050 of the first movable member 205 pushes the pushed inclined surface 2030 of the second movable member 203, so that the second movable member 203 moves along the positive X-axis direction. In this way, the second movable member 203 pushes against the connection between the rotating cylinder 310 and the connecting rod 720, so that the rotating cylinder 310 rotates in the rotation direction R3 opposite to the rotation direction R1 in FIG. 6 , which causes the second guide structure 321 to separate from the limiting groove 3110. When the second guide structure 321 separates from the limiting groove 3110, the elastic element 500 pulls the lifting base 320 along the negative Y-axis direction to assist the second guide structure 321 to move back to the position in FIG. 4. The elastic element 210 is used to reset the first movable member 205 along the negative Y-axis direction.

Other embodiments are listed below for illustration. It must be noted that the following embodiments use the component numbers and some contents of the previous embodiments, wherein the same numbers are used to represent the same or similar components, and the description of the same technical contents is omitted. The description of the omitted parts can refer to the previous embodiments, and the following embodiments will not be repeated.

The present invention is not limited to the method of driving the rotating cylinder by the linkage assembly. Please refer to Figures 9 and 10. Figure 9 is a three-dimensional diagram of a portable electronic device according to the second embodiment of the present invention. Figure 10 is a partial enlarged diagram of the three-dimensional exploded diagram of the portable electronic device in Figure 9. The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment mainly lies in the form of the linkage assembly and the rotating cylinder. In detail, the portable electronic device 10a of this embodiment includes a main body 100 and two rocker assemblies 150a. The rocker assembly 150, for example, includes a limit seat 200, a lifting assembly 300a, a rocker 400, an elastic element 500, a plurality of limit plates 600, a linkage assembly 700a and an operating member 800. The rotating cylinder 310a of the lifting assembly 300a has a tooth portion 312a protruding radially outward. The linkage assembly 700a includes a slider 710 and a tooth bar 730a. The slider 710 is slidably disposed on the base 110. The tooth bar 730a is disposed on one side of the slider 710 and engages with the tooth portion 312a. The operating member 800 protrudes from one side of the slider 710 away from the tooth bar 730a.

Please refer to Figures 11 and 12. Figure 11 is a partial enlarged view of the three-dimensional cross-sectional view of the portable electronic device in Figure 9. Please refer to Figure 12, which is a partial enlarged view of the three-dimensional cross-sectional view of the portable electronic device in Figure 9, showing that the joystick of the portable electronic device protrudes from the main body. In this embodiment, the sliding movement of the slider 710 is converted into the rotation of the rotating cylinder 310a by the engagement of the tooth bar 730a and the tooth portion 312a.

The present invention is not limited to using elastic elements to provide a downward pulling force to the lifting base 320 along the negative Y-axis direction. Please refer to Figures 13 and 14. Figure 13 is a three-dimensional view of a portable electronic device according to a third embodiment of the present invention. Figure 14 is a partial enlarged view of the three-dimensional exploded view of the portable electronic device in Figure 13. The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is mainly that the joystick assembly 150b of the portable electronic device 10b of this embodiment does not include the elastic element 500 of the first embodiment, and additionally includes a plurality of magnets 850b, 855b. The magnet 850b is fixed to the base 110 and is between the lifting base 320 and a portion of the base 110. The two magnets 855b are respectively fixed to the two slots 321b of the lifting base 320b of the lifting assembly 300b, and are respectively used to attract the magnet 850b to drive the lifting base 320b along the negative Y-axis direction. In other embodiments, the joystick assembly may also include only one magnet 850b and one magnet 855b, or may include only one magnet 855b and other iron parts fixed to the base through the magnet 855b.

The present invention is not limited to including operating parts exposed to the outside. Please refer to Figures 15 and 16. Figure 15 is a three-dimensional diagram of a portable electronic device according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention. Figure 16 is a partial enlarged diagram of the three-dimensional exploded diagram of the portable electronic device in Figure 15. The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment mainly lies in the method of driving the joystick to rise and fall. In detail, in this embodiment, the portable electronic device 10c includes a main body 100c and two joystick assemblies 150c. The main body 100c includes a main body portion 110c and two side portions 120c. The two side portions 120c are respectively pivotally connected to two opposite sides of the main body portion 110c, and are respectively provided with two joystick assemblies 150c.

Specifically, the main body 110c includes a base 111c and a cover 112c disposed on one side of the base 111c. The two side parts 120c each include a base 121c and a cover 122c disposed on one side of the base 121c.

Since the two side portions 120c are connected to the main body 110c in a similar manner, the connection relationship between one of the side portions 120c, the joystick assembly 150c accommodated in the side portion 120c, and the main body 110c will be described below by way of example.

In this embodiment, the rocker assembly 150c includes, for example, a positioning spring 200c, a lifting assembly 300, a rocker 400, an elastic element 500, a plurality of limit plates 600, and a connecting rod 700c. The rocker assembly 150c of this embodiment does not include the operating member 800 in the first embodiment. The positioning spring 200c includes a fixed end 210c, a movable end 220c, a stopper 230c, and an operating portion 240c. The fixed end 210c and the movable end 220c are opposite to each other. The stopper 230c and the operating portion 240c are located at the movable end and are separated from each other. The opposite ends of the connecting rod 700c are pivotally connected to the base 111c of the main body 110c and the rotating cylinder 310 respectively. In other words, the opposite ends of the connecting rod 700c are pivotally connected to the rotating cylinder 310 and the base 111c of the main body 110c through the latches 710c and 720c respectively. In addition, the base 121c has a mounting protrusion 123c. The mounting protrusion 123c is slidably disposed in a slide groove 113c of the base 111c. The slide groove 113c is in an arc shape.

In this embodiment, the side portion 120c is pivoted relative to the main body 110c, so that the connecting rod 700c drives the rotating cylinder 310 to rotate, thereby driving the rocker 400 to rise and fall.

Please refer to Figures 15 and 17. Figure 17 is a partial enlarged view of the portable electronic device in Figure 15, in which the joystick is stored in the main body and the cover is omitted. When the joystick 400 is stored in the main body 100c, the side portion 120c is closed relative to the main body 110c, and the stopper 230c and the operating portion 240c are located in the base 111c of the main body 110c.

Please refer to Figures 18 and 19. Figure 18 is a partial enlarged view of the top view of the portable electronic device in Figure 15, where the rocker protrudes from the main body and the cover is omitted. Figure 19 is a planar cross-sectional view along the cutting line 19-19 in Figure 18. When the user wants to use the portable electronic device 10c, the side portion 120c can be pivoted relative to the main body 110c along a pivot direction R2 to unfold. At this time, the mounting protrusion 123c will slide in the slide groove 113c of the base 111c, so that the connecting rod 700c drives the rotating cylinder 310 to rotate, and then the lifting seat 320 drives the rocker 400 to protrude from the cover 122c of the side portion 120c along the moving direction M. In addition, when the side portion 120c pivots and unfolds relative to the main body 110c, the stopper portion 230c abuts against one side of the base 111c of the main body 110c to prevent the side portion 120c from closing relative to the main body 110c. It should be noted that when the user wants to store the portable electronic device 10c, the user can push the operating portion 240c along the positive Y-axis direction to release the stopper portion 230c from stopping the side portion 120c.

According to the portable electronic device disclosed in the above embodiment, the lifting seat is movably disposed on the rotating cylinder through the first guide structure and the second guide structure, so that the rotating cylinder can drive the joystick to protrude from the main body or be stored in the main body through the lifting seat. In this way, when the user wants to use the portable electronic device, the joystick can be protruded from the main body to facilitate the operation of the joystick. When the user finishes using the portable electronic device, the joystick can be stored in the main body. In this case, the joystick stored in the main body will have a lower probability of being damaged, and the portable electronic device can be stored more conveniently.

In addition, since the joystick is raised and lowered by the rotation of the rotating cylinder, the joystick assembly will not occupy too much space in the main body along the direction of the joystick's movement. In other words, the space in the thickness direction of the main body can be effectively used to set the joystick assembly. In this way, a thinner main body can be used to accommodate the joystick assembly, thereby improving the convenience of carrying and using the portable electronic device.

In addition, by designing a guide structure as a guide slope or a guide protrusion on the rotating cylinder and the lifting seat to drive the lifting of the joystick, a stable and reliable actuation mechanism can be realized, and the durability of the joystick assembly can be improved while designing the joystick assembly to be small in size.

Although the present invention is disclosed as above with the aforementioned embodiments, they are not used to limit the present invention. Anyone skilled in similar techniques may make some changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of patent protection of the present invention shall be subject to the scope of the patent application attached to this specification.
