Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a module and apparatus, and more particularly to a pivot module and an electronic device having the pivot module. Prior Technology

[0002] Modern electronic devices (such as laptops) consist of two openable chassis and a pivot connecting the two chassis. As the performance requirements of electronic devices increase, the heat generated by the chassis and the heat dissipation requirements of the electronic devices also gradually increase. However, when the two chassis are opened relative to each other, the air vents of the chassis are easily blocked by the pivot, resulting in poor heat dissipation of the electronic devices. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention provides a pivot module and electronic device with good heat dissipation performance.

[0004] The pivot module of the present invention includes a main shaft, a main connector, a sliding member, and a movable member. The main shaft includes a first linkage. The main connector is pivotally disposed on the main shaft and includes a groove. The sliding member is movably connected to the main shaft and the main connector, and includes a second linkage and a first driven member, the second linkage contacting the first linkage of the main shaft. The movable member includes a second driven member, the second driven member passing through the groove and contacting the first driven member. The main connector is adapted to rotate relative to the main shaft and drive the sliding member to move on the main shaft, causing the first driven member to drive the movable member to actuate relative to the main shaft.

[0005] The electronic device of the present invention includes a first body, a second body, and a pivot module. The second body is pivotally connected to the first body via the pivot module. The pivot module includes a main shaft, a main connector, a slider, and a movable member. The main shaft includes a first linkage and is disposed in the first body. The main connector is disposed in the second body and pivotally connected to the main shaft. The main connector includes a slide groove. The slider is movably connected to the main shaft and the main connector, and includes a second linkage and a first driven portion, the second linkage contacting the first linkage of the main shaft. The movable member includes a second driven portion, the second driven portion passing through the slide groove and contacting the first driven portion. The main connector is adapted to rotate relative to the main shaft and drive the slider to move relative to the main shaft, causing the first driven portion of the slider to drive the movable member to actuate relative to the main shaft.

[0006] Based on the above, the main connecting member of the electronic device and pivot module of the present invention can rotate relative to the main shaft, while the sliding member rotates relative to the main shaft and slides along the main shaft. In this way, the moving member is driven by the sliding member to move relative to the main shaft, thereby improving the ease of use and heat dissipation efficiency of the electronic device.

[0008] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 is another schematic diagram of the electronic device of Figure 1. Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view of the electronic device of Figure 2. Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of the pivot module of Figure 2. Figure 5 is a rear view of the pivot module of Figure 4. Figure 6 is an exploded view of the pivot module of Figure 4. Cartesian coordinates XYZ are provided here for component description. Referring simultaneously to Figures 1 to 6, the electronic device 100 includes a first body 110, a second body 120, and a pivot module 200. The second body 120 is pivotally connected to the first body 110 through the pivot module 200. The electronic device 100 is, for example, a notebook computer, but is not limited thereto.

[0009] The pivot module 200 includes a main spindle body 210, a main connector 220, a slider 230, and a movable member 240. The main spindle body 210 includes a first linkage 211 and is disposed on a first body 110. The main connector 220 is disposed on a second body 120. The main connector 220 is pivotally mounted on the main spindle body 210 along a rotation axis L1 and includes a slide groove 221. The main connector 220 can rotate around the rotation axis L1. The slide groove 221 has an extension line L2. The slider 230 is movably connected to the main spindle body 210 along the rotation axis L1 and is movably connected to the main connector 220. The slider 230 includes a second linkage 231 and a first driven portion 232. The second linkage 231 directly contacts the first linkage 211 of the main spindle body 210. The movable member 240 includes a second driven portion 241. The second driven part 241 is movably disposed in the slide groove 221 and contacts the first driven part 232. The rotation axis L1 is parallel to the Y-axis. The rotation axis L1 is different from the extension line L2 of the slide groove 221. In this embodiment, the rotation axis L1 is perpendicular to the extension line L2.

[0010] The second body 120 can rotate relative to the first body 110, allowing the electronic device 100 to switch between a first state M1 (Fig. 1) and a second state M2 (Fig. 7). During the rotation of the second body 120, the main connecting member 220 (second body 120) rotates relative to the main shaft 210 (first body 110), causing the sliding member 230 to move along the rotation axis L1 on the main shaft 210, thereby causing the first driven part 232 to drive the movable member 240 to actuate relative to the main shaft 210. The first body 110 includes a heat dissipation hole 111. The movable member 240 can automatically move relative to the heat dissipation hole 111 by the rotation of the second body 120, thereby changing the gap between the heat dissipation hole 111 (first body 110) and the movable member 240, creating more space for the first body 110 to dissipate heat, thus improving the ease of use and heat dissipation efficiency of the electronic device 100.

[0011] As shown in Figures 4 to 6, the main spindle body 210 includes a main spindle 216, a plate 217, and a connecting shaft 219. The plate 217 is connected to the main spindle 216 and the first machine body 110. The main spindle 216 is rotatable relative to the plate 217. The connecting shaft 219 is connected to the main spindle 216 along the rotation axis L1 and rotates together with the main spindle 216. For example, the connecting shaft 219 can be sleeved on the main spindle 216 and fixed with fasteners (not shown). The main connector 220 includes a connecting body 222. The connecting body 222 is connected to the second machine body 120 and the main spindle body 210. The sliding groove 221 of the main connector 220 is located on the connecting body 222. The connecting body 222 is provided with a connecting groove 225, through which the sliding member 230 is movably connected to the connecting body 222. The connecting groove 225 extends parallel to the rotation axis L1 to limit the movement direction of the sliding member 230 relative to the main connecting member 220.

[0012] The second linkage portion 231 of the slider 230 is sleeved on the main shaft 216 and the connecting shaft 219. The main shaft 210 includes a limiting portion 218, which is disposed on the connecting shaft 219. The second linkage portion 231 includes a limiting protrusion 236. Further, in the Y-axis direction, the second linkage portion 231 of the slider 230 is disposed between the first linkage portion 211 and the limiting portion 218 of the main shaft 210. When the slider 230 moves relative to the main connecting member 220, the limiting protrusion 236 can abut against the limiting portion 218 to restrict the rotation of the main connecting member 220, thereby limiting the rotation angle of the second body 120 relative to the first body 110.

[0013] As shown in Figures 5 and 6, one of the first linkage 211 and the second linkage 231 includes a bottom surface and a top surface, and the other of the first linkage 211 and the second linkage 231 includes a protrusion. In this embodiment, the first linkage 211 includes a bottom surface 212 and a top surface 213, and the second linkage 231 includes a protrusion 234, but is not limited thereto. There is a gap between the bottom surface 212 and the top surface 213, and one end E6 of the bottom surface 212 can be connected to the top surface 213 by an inclined surface. The main connecting member 220 can rotate relative to the main shaft 210, causing the second linkage 231 (slider 230) to be driven to rotate, and causing the protrusion 234 to abut against the bottom surface 212 or the top surface 213, thereby driving the slider 230 to move relative to the main shaft 210 along the rotation axis L1.

[0014] The slider 230 further includes a sliding body 233. A second linkage 231 and a first driven part 232 are formed at opposite ends of the sliding body 233. The sliding body 233 is slidably connected to the connecting body 222 of the main connector 220. The first driven part 232 includes an inclined surface 235, and an extension line L3 of the inclined surface 235 is different from the rotation axis L1 and the extension line L2 of the slide groove 221. The second body 120 of the electronic device 100 includes a slide groove 121. The second driven part 241 of the movable part 240 passes through the slide groove 121 and the slide groove 221 of the main connector 220, and abuts against the inclined surface 235 of the first driven part 232. When the slider 230 moves relative to the main shaft 210, the first driven part 232 (inclined surface 235) pushes against the second driven part 241, causing the second driven part 241 to move relative to the main shaft 210 along the extension line L2.

[0015] As shown in Figures 4 to 6, the slide groove 121 of the second body 120 includes a first part 123 and a second part 124 connected together. The first part 123 includes a first end E1 and a second end E2 opposite to each other, and the second part 124 includes a third end E3 and a fourth end E4 opposite to each other. The second end E2 is connected to the third end E3. A first extension line L4 of the first part 123 is parallel to the extension line L2 of the slide groove 221 of the main connector 220, and a second extension line L5 of the second part 124 is different from the extension line L2 and the rotation axis L1. The slide groove 121 is V-shaped.

[0016] The movable component 240 further includes a movable main body 243 and a third driven part 242. The second driven part 241 and the third driven part 242 are connected to the movable main body 243. The second driven part 241 is movably disposed in the first part 123 of the slide groove 121, and the third driven part 242 is movably disposed in the second part 124 of the slide groove 121. When the second driven part 241 is pushed by the slider 230 and moves between the first end E1 and the second end E2 of the first part 123, the third driven part 242 is driven to move between the third end E3 and the fourth end E4 of the second part 124. Since the extension directions of the first extension line L4 and the second extension line L5 are different from each other, when the second driven part 241 and the third driven part 242 move in the first part 123 and the second part 124 respectively, the movable component 240 can rotate relative to the main shaft 210 (heat dissipation hole 111). The active component 240 may be a multimedia component, such as a speaker, but is not limited thereto.

[0017] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 2, the pivot module 200 may include a common portion P1 and a connecting portion P2. The movable element 240 belongs to the common portion P1, while the main shaft 210, main connector 220, and sliding element 230 belong to the connecting portion P2. The electronic device 100 of this embodiment includes two connecting portions P2 and one common portion P1, with the common portion P1 located between the two connecting portions P2, allowing the common portion P1 (movable element 240) to be stably rotated relative to the first body 110, but this is not a limitation.

[0018] Figures 1 to 5 show the electronic device 100 in the first state M1. As shown in Figures 1 to 5, in the first state M1, the second body 120 is closed to the first body 110, and a display surface 122 of the second body 120 faces the first body 110, and the electronic device 100 is closed. The second linkage portion 231 (protrusion 234) of the slider 230 abuts against the bottom surface 212 of the first linkage portion 211 of the main shaft 210, thereby moving the slider 230 away from the slide groove 221. The second driven portion 241 of the movable member 240 is located at the first end E1 of the first part 123 of the slide groove 121, and passes through the slide groove 221 of the main connector 220 abuts against an end E5 of the first driven portion 232 of the slider 230. There is a distance D1 between the end E5 and the slide groove 221. The third driven portion 242 is located at the third end E3 of the second part 124. A gap G1 exists between the movable member 240 and the heat dissipation hole 111 (first body 110). A working surface 244 of the movable member 240 faces the heat dissipation hole 111 of the first body 110. The working surface 244 may include, for example, multiple sound outlet holes through which the speaker (movable member 240) emits sound.

[0019] Figure 7 is a schematic diagram of the electronic device of Figure 1 in the second state. Figure 8 is a cross-sectional view of the electronic device of Figure 7. Figure 9 is a schematic diagram of the pivot module of Figure 7. Figure 10 is a rear view of the pivot module of Figure 9. Referring to Figures 7 to 10 simultaneously, during the process of switching the electronic device 100 from the first state M1 to the second state M2, the second body 120 (main connecting member 220) is subjected to force and rotates relative to the first body 110 (main shaft 210), which in turn drives the sliding member 230 to rotate relative to the main shaft 210. During the rotation of the sliding member 230, the second linkage part 231 (protrusion 234) of the sliding member 230 slides on the bottom surface 212 of the first linkage part 211 of the main shaft 210. At this time, the end E5 of the first driven part 232 maintains a distance D1 (Figure 5) with the groove 221 of the moving member 240.

[0020] As the slider 230 continues to rotate, the second linkage 231 (protrusion 234) moves from the bottom surface 212 to the top surface 213 of the first linkage 211. At this time, the slider 230 is pushed by the top surface 213 and moves relative to the main connector 220 along the rotation axis L1, so that there is another distance D2 between the end E5 and the groove 221. The distance D2 is less than the distance D1 (Fig. 5). In this way, while the slider 230 rotates relative to the main shaft 210 with the rotation axis L1 as the center, it can also move along the rotation axis L1 relative to the main shaft 210 and the main connector 220 closer to the movable member 240.

[0021] Therefore, it can be seen that the second linkage 231, through the bottom surface 212 and top surface 213 of the first linkage 211, can drive the slider 230 to move relative to the main shaft 210 only when the slider 230 rotates to a specific angle (i.e., the second linkage 231 abuts against the end E6 of the bottom surface 212 and the top surface 213).

[0022] The sliding of the slider 230 along the rotation axis L1 causes the first driven part 232 (sloping surface 235) to push the second driven part 241 of the movable part 240. The second driven part 241 is restricted by the slide groove 221 of the main connector 220 and the slide groove 121 of the second body 120, and slides along the extension line L2 from the first end E1 to the second end E2 of the first part 123 of the slide groove 121. When the second driven part 241 slides in the first part 123, the third driven part 242 is pushed and slides from the third end E3 to the fourth end E4 of the second part 124 of the slide groove 121, causing the movable part 240 to flip relative to the first body 110.

[0023] As shown in Figures 7 to 10, when the electronic device 100 is in the second state M2, the second body 120 is opened relative to the first body 110, the display surface 122 of the second body 120 faces outward, and the electronic device 100 is turned on. The second linkage part 231 (protrusion 234) of the slider 230 abuts against the top surface 213 of the first linkage part 211 of the main shaft 210, thereby positioning the slider 230 in the position shown in Figure 9. The second driven part 241 of the movable member 240 is located at the second end E2 of the first part 123 of the slide groove 121, and the third driven part 242 is located at the fourth end E4 of the second part 124, thereby flipping the movable member 240 relative to the main shaft 210 to the position shown in Figure 8. The working surface 244 of the movable member 240 (speaker) can face outward to produce sound. There is a gap G2 between the movable part 240 and the heat dissipation hole 111 of the first body 110. The gap G2 is larger than the gap G1 between the movable part 240 and the first body 110 in the first state M1 (Figure 3). The heat energy inside the first body 110 can leave the first body 110 through the heat dissipation hole 111.

[0024] Therefore, the movable component 240 of the electronic device 100 can move to different positions depending on the rotation of the second body 120 relative to the first body 110 (first state M1 or second state M2). When the electronic device 100 is in the second state M2, the movable component 240 moves away from the heat dissipation hole 111, thus widening the heat dissipation channel of the electronic device 100 and improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the electronic device 100. By rotating the movable component 240, the working surface 244 of the movable component 240 in the second state M2 moves away from the heat dissipation hole 111, causing the movable component 240 to face outwards to improve the sound quality of the movable component 240.

[0025] During the transition of electronic device 100 from second state M2 to first state M1, the main connector 220 (second body 120) drives the slider 230 to rotate relative to the main shaft 210 (first body 110), causing the protrusion 234 of the second linkage 231 to move from the top surface 213 to the bottom surface 212 of the first linkage 211. This causes the slider 230 (first driven part 232) to move away from the movable part 240, resulting in the second driven part 241 sliding relative to the slider 230. The second driven part 241 moves from the second end E2 to the first end E1 of the first portion 123 of the slide groove 121, driving the third driven part 242 to move from the fourth end E4 to the third end E3 of the second portion 124 of the slide groove 121. The movable body 243 flips from the position shown in FIG9 to the position shown in FIG5 as the second driven part 241 and the third driven part 242 move. Electronic device 100 then switches to first state M1.

[0026] Figure 11 is a schematic diagram of the pivot module in a first state according to another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 12 is a schematic diagram of the pivot module of Figure 11 in a second state. Referring to Figures 4, 11 and 12 simultaneously, the pivot module 200a (electronic device 100a) of this embodiment is similar to that of the aforementioned embodiment. The difference is that in this embodiment, one of the first linkage part 211a of the main shaft 210a and the second linkage part 231a of the sliding member 230a includes an external thread, and the other of the first linkage part 211a and the second linkage part 231a includes an internal thread, with the external thread engaging the internal thread.

[0027] In this embodiment, the first linkage 211a includes an internal thread 214, and the second linkage 231a includes an external thread 237, but is not limited thereto. During the switching between the first state M1 and the second state M2 of the electronic device 100a, the slider 230a rotates with the main connector 220, and the second linkage 231a continuously moves relative to the main shaft 210a along the rotation axis L1 through the external thread 237 to drive the movable member 240 to rotate relative to the main shaft 210a. As shown in FIG12, the slider 230a can continue to move relative to the main shaft 210a until the second linkage 231a contacts the limiting part 218a of the main shaft 210a. Here, the limiting part 218a is, for example, a plane. The limiting part 218a can stop the movement of the slider 230a to limit the rotation angle of the slider 230a (main connector 220) relative to the main shaft 210a.

[0028] Compared to the embodiment in Figure 5, where the pivot module 200 only moves the first linkage 211 to push the second linkage 231 to move and cause the movable member 240 to flip when rotated to a specific angle, this embodiment uses the internal thread 214 and the external thread 237 to make the second linkage 231a (slider 230a) continuously move relative to the main shaft 210a during rotation, so that the movable member 240 continuously rotates relative to the first body 110 with the slider 230a. The pivot module 200a (electronic device 100a) of this embodiment has similar effects to the aforementioned embodiment, and will not be described again here.

[0029] Figure 13 is a schematic diagram of the pivot module in a first state according to another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 14 is a schematic diagram of the pivot module of Figure 13 in a second state. Referring simultaneously to Figures 4, 13, and 14, the pivot module 200b (electronic device 100b) of this embodiment is similar to that of the aforementioned embodiment, except that one of the first linkage part 211b and the second linkage part 231b in this embodiment includes a helical protrusion, and the other of the first linkage part 211b and the second linkage part 231b includes a helical groove. The first driven part 232b is a rod 239.

[0030] In this embodiment, the first linkage 211b includes a helical protrusion 215, and the second linkage 231b includes a helical groove 238, but is not limited thereto. The helical protrusion 215 and the helical groove 238 surround the rotation axis L1, and the helical groove 238 is at least partially fitted onto the helical protrusion 215. The rod 239 is pivotally connected to the sliding body 233b and the second driven part 241 of the movable member 240.

[0031] During the switching process between the first state M1 and the second state M2, the sliding member 230b rotates with the main connecting member 220, and the second linkage 231b continuously moves relative to the main shaft 210b along the rotation axis L1 through the spiral groove 238, pushing against the rod 239 (the first driven member 232b). Here, the extension line L3 of the rod 239 (the first driven member 232b) is different from the rotation axis L1 and the extension line L2, and has an angle greater than 0 degrees with the extension line L2. Therefore, when the rod 239 (the first driven member 232b) is subjected to an external force (i.e., pushed) in the direction of the rotation axis L1, the rod 239 generates a component force in the direction of the extension line L2, which causes the rod 239 to drive the second driven member 241 to move along the extension line L2, thereby driving the movable member 240 to rotate relative to the main shaft 210b.

[0032] As shown in Figure 13, in the first state M1, there is a distance D3 between the slider 230b and the second driven part 241. An angle A1 is formed between the extension lines L3 and L2. The helical protrusion 215 (first linkage 211b) is completely located within the helical groove 238 (second linkage 231b). As shown in Figure 14, in the second state M2, there is a distance D4 between the slider 230b and the second driven part 241. An angle A2 is formed between the extension lines L3 and L2. The helical protrusion 215 (first linkage 211b) is partially located within the helical groove 238 (second linkage 231b). The distance D3 is greater than the distance D4, and the angle A1 is greater than the angle A2. The pivot module 200b (electronic device 100b) of this embodiment has similar functions to the aforementioned embodiment, and will not be described again here.

[0033] Figure 15 is a schematic diagram of the pivot module in a first state according to another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 16 is a schematic diagram of the pivot module of Figure 15 in a second state. Referring simultaneously to Figures 13, 15 and 16, the pivot module 200c (electronic device 100c) of this embodiment is similar to that of the aforementioned embodiment, except that in the first state M1, there is a distance D5 between the slider 230c and the second driven part 241. The extension line L3 of the rod 239 (first driven part 232c) has an included angle A3 with the extension line L2. The helical protrusion 215 (first linkage 211c) of the main shaft 210c is partially located in the helical groove 238 (second linkage 231c). In the second state M2, there is a distance D6 between the slider 230c and the second driven part 241. The extension line L3 has an included angle A4 with the extension line L2. The spiral protrusion 215 (first linkage 211c) is completely located within the spiral groove 238 (second linkage 231c). The distance D6 is greater than the distance D5, and the included angle A4 is greater than the included angle A3. The pivot module 200c (electronic device 100c) of this embodiment has similar functions to those of the aforementioned embodiments, and will not be described again here.

[0034] In summary, the main connecting member of the electronic device and pivot module of the present invention can rotate relative to the main shaft, while the sliding member rotates relative to the main shaft and slides along the main shaft. In this way, the moving member is driven by the sliding member to move relative to the main shaft, thereby improving the ease of use and heat dissipation efficiency of the electronic device.
