Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of the patent application with application number 201810618095.1, application date 2018 / 6 / 15, and invention name “Transmission seat and electronic device”. Technical Field

[0002] The present invention relates to the technical field of electronic equipment, and in particular to a transmission seat, an electronic equipment and a folding method of the electronic equipment. Background Art

[0003] When you buy a tablet computer device nowadays, the device usually has a display unit and a keyboard support unit. The display unit and the keyboard support unit are assembled, and when the display unit faces the keyboard support unit, the user can control the screen of the display unit by operating the keyboard part of the keyboard support unit. When the display unit faces away from the keyboard part, the keyboard support unit only plays a supporting role to stand the display unit on the desktop, and consumers can directly touch the display unit and view the screen.

[0004] In addition, consumers can also choose to use a large-capacity battery or a small-capacity battery. Regardless of whether a large-capacity battery or a small-capacity battery is selected, the slot of the display unit can accommodate it. The only difference is that the large-capacity battery is larger in size and thickness, and is easy to protrude from the back of the display unit. Therefore, when the keyboard support unit is only used to support the display unit, since the battery and the keyboard are on the same side, when the user adjusts the tilt angle of the display unit relative to the keyboard support unit, the possibility of the large-capacity battery contacting and crushing the keyboard will be greatly increased. Summary of the invention

[0005] The invention provides a transmission seat, an electronic device and an electronic device folding method. When a user selects a large-capacity battery, the user can only assemble the display unit facing the keyboard, thereby preventing the user from causing the large-capacity battery to crush the keyboard due to misoperation.

[0046] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention, rather than to limit the present invention. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, only parts related to the present invention, rather than all structures, are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0047] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "connected", "connected", and "fixed" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements.

A first feature being "below", "below" and "below" a second feature includes that the first feature is directly below and obliquely below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.

[0049] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper", "lower", "right", etc., directions or positional relationships are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of description and simplification of operation, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present invention. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish in the description and have no special meaning.

[0050] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2The electronic device 100 provided in this embodiment includes a first unit 1, a transmission base 2 and a second unit 3. The transmission base 2 is connected between the first unit 1 and the second unit 3. The detailed structure and combination method of each component will be described in detail below.

[0051] See also Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 In the present embodiment, the first unit 1 is a tablet computer having a front side 11, a back side 12, a side portion 13, a plurality of first batteries 14 and a plurality of second batteries 15 (in the present embodiment, the number of the first batteries 14 and the number of the second batteries 15 are both two). The front side 11 is provided with a display portion 111, the side portion 13 is provided with a first electrical structure 131, and the back side 12 is formed with a battery receiving slot 121. The battery receiving slot 121 can be selectively provided with a plurality of first batteries 14 or a plurality of second batteries 15, that is, these first batteries 14 and these second batteries 15 can be removably arranged in the battery receiving slot 121. In the present embodiment, the first battery 14 is a large-capacity battery, and the second battery 15 is a small-capacity battery. Compared with the second battery 15, the first battery 14 is larger and thicker. Therefore, when the first battery 14 is arranged in the battery receiving slot 121, one end edge 141 of the first battery 14 extends out of the battery receiving slot 121 and is located on the back side 12. See. Figure 5 When the second battery 15 is disposed in the battery receiving slot 121, the surface 151 of the second battery 15 and the back surface 12 form a flat surface. A snap-fit ​​structure 16 is disposed on the edge 141 of the first battery 14. In this embodiment, the snap-fit ​​structure 16 is a protrusion extending from the edge 141.

[0052] The transmission seat 2 has a recessed portion 21, a first wall portion 22 and a second wall portion 23. The first wall portion 22 is opposite to the second wall portion 23. The recessed portion 21 is located between the first wall portion 22 and the second wall portion 23, and the second electrical structure 211 is disposed in the recessed portion 21. A matching structure 24 is disposed on the edge 221 of the first wall portion 22. In this embodiment, the matching structure 24 is a groove. One end of the transmission seat 2 away from the recessed portion 21 is electrically pivoted to the second unit 3, so that the transmission seat 2 can rotate relative to the second unit 3. The second unit 3 is provided with an input portion 31. In this embodiment, the input portion 31 is a keyboard.

[0053] The combination of the first unit 1 and the transmission seat 2 is now described in detail. The transmission seat 2 is used to bidirectionally accommodate the side portion 13 of the first unit 1. The first wall portion 22 and the second wall portion 23 can bidirectionally support the side portion 13, that is, the display portion 111 of the first unit 1 can be arranged on the transmission seat 2 in a manner facing the input portion 31 of the second unit 3 or in a manner facing away from the input portion 31, so as to achieve a bidirectional accommodation effect. In addition, the first wall portion 22 and the second wall portion 23 are located on both sides of the side portion 13 of the first unit 1, and support the side portion 13 at the same time to achieve a bidirectional support effect.

[0054] Further, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the first state, the side portion 13 of the first unit 1 is disposed in the recessed portion 21, and the snap-fit ​​structure 16 is assembled with the matching structure 24, that is, the snap-fit ​​structure 16 is a protrusion completely placed in the groove (matching structure 24), the back surface 12 is adjacent to the first wall portion 22, and the front surface 11 is adjacent to the second wall portion 23. At this time, the first electrical structure 131 can be completely connected to the second electrical structure 211, and the first unit 1 can be electrically connected to the second unit 3 through the transmission seat 2, thereby, see Figure 2 The user can view the display unit 111 and the input unit 31 at the same time, so the display unit 111 of the first unit 1 can be controlled by the input unit 31 of the second unit 3. After use, the first unit 1 and the transmission base 2 can be rotated at an angle relative to the second unit 3 until the display unit 111 is attached to the input unit 31, so that the electronic device 100 can be folded and stored (not shown in the figure).

[0055] See also Figure 4 In another combination state of the first unit 1 and the transmission base 2, that is, in the second state, although the side portion 13 of the first unit 1 is disposed in the recessed portion 21, the engaging structure 16 is away from the matching structure 24, the back surface 12 is adjacent to the second wall portion 23, the front surface 11 is adjacent to the first wall portion 22, and the display portion 111 is facing away from the input portion 31. Figure 4 As shown, the engaging structure 16 is a protrusion, so it is overlapped on the second wall portion 23. Due to the mutual interference between the engaging structure 16 and the second wall portion 23, the first electrical structure 131 is separated from the second electrical structure 211 by a distance. Therefore, in the second state, the first unit 1 is simply against the transmission seat 2, which is equivalent to a non-electrical connection, so that the transmission seat 2 and the second unit 3 are only used to support the first unit 1 standing on the desktop, and the first unit 1 cannot be electrically connected with the transmission seat 2 and the second unit 3. This reminds the user that in the second state, the electronic device 100 cannot be folded, and the mutual interference between the second wall portion 23 and the engaging structure 16 plays a fool-proof role.

[0056] If the user makes an error and rotates the first unit 1 to bring each first battery 14 close to the input portion 31, each first battery 14 is provided with a buffer 142. When the first unit 1 and the transmission base 2 are rotated to an angle relative to the second unit 3, the buffer 142 will first touch the input portion 31, thereby preventing the first battery 14 from directly touching the input portion 31 and reducing the downward pressure.

[0057] In other embodiments of the present invention, a matching structure 24 may be disposed on the second wall portion 23 , but may be offset relative to the engaging structure 16 , or the matching structure 24 of the second wall portion 23 may be a protrusion, so that the engaging structure 16 still has more interference with the second wall portion 23 .

[0058] Different from the first battery 14, see Figure 5 Since the second battery 15 is small in size and thin in thickness, when the second battery 15 is placed in the battery receiving slot 121, since the surface 151 of the second battery 15 and the back surface 12 form a plane together, no matter the display portion 111 faces the input portion 31 or faces away from the input portion 31, the first unit 1 can be attached to the input portion 31 with the front surface 11 or the back surface 12, so that the electronic device 100 can be folded and stored. In addition, the number of the first battery 14 and the second battery 15 is not limited here. In other embodiments of the present invention, the number of the first battery 14 and the second battery 15 can be only one or more.

[0059] In summary, the transmission base and the electronic device provided in this embodiment interfere with each other through the locking structure 16 and the second wall portion 23 of the transmission base 2. Even if the first unit 1 is equipped with a large-capacity first battery 14, the user can be reminded to avoid the first unit 1 with the first battery 14 directly touching the input portion 31 when folding the electronic device 100, so as to protect the integrity of the electronic device 100.

[0060] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, various obvious changes, readjustments and substitutions can be made without departing from the protection scope of the present invention. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
