Electronic device

Abstract

An electronic device includes a base, a screen module, and a slide rail locking assembly. The screen module is pivotally connected to the base. The slide rail locking assembly is disposed on the base and includes a first spring, a first slide rail positioning member, a stop member, and a pressure member. The first slide rail positioning member is disposed at one end of the first spring and has a protrusion configured to lock or unlock the first slide rail. The stop member is connected to the first slide rail positioning member. The pressure member is configured to abut against the stop member and is linked to the screen module. When the screen module is flipped open, the stop member moves in a first direction, causing the protrusion of the first slide rail positioning member to extend out of the base and lock the first slide rail. When the screen module is closed, the pressure member forces the stop member to move in a second direction opposite to the first direction, causing the protrusion of the first slide rail positioning member to retract into the base and unlock the first slide rail.

Claims

1. An electronic device comprising: A base; A screen module is pivotally connected to the base; and a slide rail locking assembly, disposed on the base, and including: a first spring; A first slide rail positioning member is disposed at one end of the first spring and has a protrusion, configured to lock or unlock the first slide rail; an abutment member is connected to the first slide rail positioning member; and a pressure member is configured to abut the abutment member and be linked to the screen module, wherein when the screen module is flipped up, the abutment member moves in a first direction and causes the protrusion of the first slide rail positioning member to extend out of the base to lock the first slide rail; when the screen module is closed, the pressure member forces the abutment member to move in a second direction opposite to the first direction and causes the protrusion of the first slide rail positioning member to retract into the base to unlock the first slide rail.

2. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the abutment is disposed on the first slide rail positioning member and has an inclined surface configured to abut the pressure member.

3. The electronic device as claimed in claim 2, wherein when the screen module is flipped up, the pressure member is pushed up by the inclined surface of the abutment member; when the screen module is closed, the pressure member is pressed down by the screen module and pushes against the inclined surface of the abutment member, causing the abutment member to move in the second direction.

4. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the slide rail locking assembly further comprises: A first linkage component is disposed on the base and along the width direction of the base, and has two extensions and a connector pivotally connected to the two extensions, wherein the first slide rail positioning member connects to one end of the two extensions away from the connector; and a second slide rail positioning member connects to the other end of the two extensions away from the connector, and has a protrusion configured to lock or unlock a second slide rail.

5. The electronic device as described in claim 4, further comprising: A hinge structure is provided, wherein the screen module is pivotally connected to a first side of the base via the hinge structure, and the pressure member is disposed on the hinge structure and configured to rotate with the screen module.

6. The electronic device as claimed in claim 5, wherein the pressure-applying element is a cam, and the slide rail locking assembly further comprises: A second spring, one end of which is connected to the abutment and the other end is fixed to the base; And a second linkage component, disposed adjacent to the first side of the base, and including a bridging member and a steering member, wherein the steering member is pivotally connected to the bridging member and the abutment member, the bridging member having a protrusion configured to lock or unlock the second slide rail, when the screen module is flipped over, the abutment member is pulled by the second spring and moves in the first direction, and the steering member causes the bridging member to move in the second direction.

7. The electronic device as claimed in claim 5, wherein the pressure-applying member includes a gear and a lever that engage with each other, and the slide rail locking assembly further includes: A second spring, one end of which is connected to the abutment and the other end is fixed to the base; A jumper is disposed adjacent to the first side of the base and integrally formed with the abutment. The jumper has a protrusion configured to lock or unlock the second slide rail. When the screen module is flipped over, the abutment is pulled in the first direction by the second spring.

8. The electronic device as claimed in claim 5, wherein the first slide rail positioning member is disposed adjacent to a second side of the base opposite to the first side, and adjacent to the middle region of the second side.

9. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1, wherein an edge of the screen module has a first slot and a second slot, the pressure member protrudes from the second slot and has a first hook at its bottom end, and the abutment has a second hook at its top end, configured to engage the first hook of the pressure member when the screen module is closed, and the slide rail locking assembly further includes an operating member protruding from the first slot of the screen module and connected to the pressure member, wherein when the operating member moves in a third direction, the pressure member moves synchronously in the third direction and is misaligned with the abutment, causing the abutment and the first slide rail positioning member to move in the first direction, thereby causing the protrusion to extend out of the base and lock the first slide rail.

10. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the pressure member is disposed on the screen module, the abutment member is pivotally connected to the base, and the abutment member engages with the first slide rail positioning member.
