Portable electronic device with shell separation detection function

Abstract

A portable electronic device with housing separation detection function, which includes a first housing, a elastic structure connected to the first housing, a conductive material layer disposed at one side of the elastic structure, a second housing, which the first housing is removably connected to, a circuit board disposed at one side of the second housing, a metal membrane disposed onto the circuit board, which is arranged at the corresponding position of conductive material layer, a detection module assembled in the second housing for detecting whether the conductive material layer contacts the metal membrane, wherein when the first housing contacts the second housing, the conductive material layer contacts the metal membrane, and when first housing is separated from the second housing, the conductive material layer separates the metal membrane.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention provides a portable electronic device, in particular a portable electronic device with the function of detecting the separation of the casing. Background technique [0002] In a modern information society with highly developed data communication systems, portable electronic devices are widely used in various fields, such as convenient and lightweight mobile phones, personal digital assistants (personal digital assistant, PDA), industrial PDA, etc. . The drop protection of portable electronic products has always been an important part of the design, and many test specifications are also formulated in response to the conditions of product use. Even so, consumers are still unpredictable about the usage of the product. If an effective protection design cannot be made for the portable electronic device to drop, it will cause damage to the product. For example, the hard disk is very easy to drop when reading and writing data. The magnetic hea...

[0005] However, since the columnar structure 16 of the first housing 12 is usually a hard plastic part, when the portable electronic device 10 falls and hits the ground, the columnar structure 16 is likely to break or be crushed to damage the switch 18, and the switch is wasted. 18; moreover, even if the first housing 12 and the second housing 14 are not separated, when the portable electronic device 10 is vibrated, the columnar structure 16 is likely to be separated from the switch 18, resulting in misjudgment Therefore, how to design an effective and low-cost mechanism for detecting the separation function of the housing is a subject that must be considered in the product design of the portable electronic device 10
