Abstract

A detachable electronic device and its docking station. The electronic device includes a first body, a second body, and a docking station for docking the first and second bodies. The docking station includes a pair of fixed seats, a pair of rotating shafts, a locking module, a lock seat, and a linkage assembly. The pair of rotating shafts are respectively disposed on the pair of fixed seats and can rotate relative to the pair of fixed seats along an axial direction. The locking module is disposed between the pair of rotating shafts and can be in a locked state or an unlocked state, respectively locking or releasing the second body. The lock seat is slidably disposed on a fixed seat along the axial direction. One end of the linkage assembly is fixed to the locking module, and the other end of the linkage assembly is slidably connected to the lock seat. The linkage assembly can drive the lock seat to move linearly as the locking module unlocks from the locked state to the unlocked state. When the anti-theft lock is locked to the lock seat, the lock seat limits the displacement of the linkage assembly, which in turn limits the locking module to the locked state.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a detachable electronic device, and in particular to an electronic device comprising a first body and a second body, wherein the second body is detachably connected to a docking seat of the first body. Background Art

[0002] In order to input data more quickly on a tablet computer, an external keyboard is currently available. The external keyboard has a docking station, and the tablet computer is detachably locked to the docking station and electrically connected to the external keyboard.

[0003] Common tablet anti-theft devices found in commercial stores are typically fixed to the tablet itself. This approach doesn't protect the external keyboard from theft. Installing an additional anti-theft lock to secure the external keyboard would inevitably increase costs.

[0004] Therefore, how to improve the anti-theft function of detachable electronic devices through structural design improvements to overcome the above-mentioned defects has become a problem to be solved in this technical field. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a detachable electronic device to address the deficiencies of the prior art, which can provide anti-theft functions for both the first body and the second body through an anti-theft lock.

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a detachable electronic device to address the deficiencies of the prior art, which can simultaneously provide a movable space for the lock core of the anti-theft lock to avoid deformation caused by squeezing with the docking seat.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, one of the technical solutions adopted by the present invention is to provide a detachable electronic device comprising a first body, a second body, and a docking station. The docking station is used to dock the first body and the second body. The docking station comprises a pair of fixing seats, a pair of rotating shafts, a locking module, a lock seat, and a linkage assembly. The bottoms of the pair of fixing seats are respectively fixed to the first body. A pair of rotating shafts are respectively disposed on the pair of fixing seats, and the pair of rotating shafts are rotatable relative to the pair of fixing seats along an axial direction. The locking module is disposed between the pair of rotating shafts and can be in a locked state to lock the second body or an unlocked state to release the second body. The lock seat is slidably disposed on one of the fixing seats along the axial direction. One end of the linkage assembly is fixed to the locking module, and the other end of the linkage assembly is slidably connected to the lock seat. The linkage assembly can drive the lock seat to move linearly as the locking module moves from the locked state to the unlocked state. When an anti-theft lock is locked on the lock seat, the lock seat limits the linear displacement of the linkage kit, and the linkage kit limits the lock bolt module to be in the locked state.

[0008] According to one embodiment of the present invention, each of the fixing seats has a mounting wall, and each of the rotating shafts includes an outer shaft and an inner shaft, wherein the outer shaft is arranged on one side of the mounting wall, and the inner shaft is arranged on the other side of the mounting wall.

[0009] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the lock seat has a lock hole cylinder, and the lock hole cylinder is sleeved on the outer shaft. The linkage kit has a rotating ring, and the linkage kit is sleeved on the lock hole cylinder.

[0010] According to one embodiment of the present invention, one of the fixing seats further includes a limiting rod and a spring, wherein the limiting rod is parallel to the axial direction and fixed to the mounting wall of the fixing seat, wherein the locking seat further includes a limiting sleeve, wherein the limiting sleeve is arranged on one side of the locking hole tube and is movably mounted on the limiting rod, and the spring is located on the other side of the locking hole tube and is located between the mounting wall and the locking hole tube and is mounted on the limiting rod.

[0011] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the lock module includes a release button, a transmission assembly and a pair of hooks, the release button being movable between a locking position and a release position, the release button driving the pair of hooks through the transmission assembly, and the transmission assembly driving the pair of hooks to be in the locking state or the unlocking state; the linkage kit is respectively located in a first position and a second position corresponding to the locking position and the release position; wherein when the linkage kit is in the first position, the linkage kit is separated from the rotating shaft by a distance, and when the linkage kit is in the second position, the linkage kit abuts against the rotating shaft; when the anti-theft lock is locked to the lock seat, the lock seat restricts the linkage kit in the first position; when the anti-theft lock is not locked to the lock seat, the linkage kit can be moved from the first position to the second position along with the lock seat as the release button moves.

[0012] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the transmission assembly includes a first rack, a second rack and a relay gear, wherein the first rack and the second rack are located parallel to each other on both sides of the relay gear and are respectively engaged with the relay gear.

[0013] According to one embodiment of the present invention, one end of the linkage kit is fixedly connected to the first rack, and the release button is fixedly connected to the first rack.

[0014] According to one embodiment of the present invention, it also includes a supporting base body, which at least covers the locking module, wherein each of the hooks has a pivoting portion, a foot and a hook portion, the hook portion is connected to the upper end of the pivoting portion, the foot is connected to the lower end of the pivoting portion, the pivoting portion is pivoted to the supporting base body along a direction perpendicular to the axis, a pair of the feet are respectively inserted into the first rack and the second rack, and the hook portion selectively protrudes from the supporting base body.

[0015] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention also provides a docking station for docking a first body and a second body, the docking station comprising a pair of fixed seats, a pair of rotating shafts, a locking module, a lock seat and a linkage kit. The pair of fixed seats are fixed to the first body. A pair of rotating shafts are respectively provided on the pair of fixed seats, and the pair of rotating shafts can rotate relative to the pair of fixed seats along an axial direction. A locking module is provided between the pair of rotating shafts, and the locking module can be in a locked state for locking the second body, or in an unlocked state for releasing the second body, and the locking module can rotate along the pair of rotating shafts. The lock seat is slidably provided on one of the fixed seats along the axial direction. One end of the linkage kit is fixed to the locking module, and the other end of the linkage kit can be slidably connected to the lock seat. The linkage kit can drive the lock seat to move linearly as the locking module moves from the locked state to the unlocked state. When the anti-theft lock is locked to the lock seat, the lock seat limits the linear displacement of the linkage kit, and the linkage kit limits the lock bolt module to the locked state.

[0016] One of the advantages of the present invention is that the docking station for an electronic device provided by the present invention can simultaneously provide anti-theft functionality for both the first and second devices through an anti-theft lock. When the anti-theft lock is locked to the lock station, the lock station restricts the linear displacement of the linkage assembly, which in turn restrains the latch module in the locked state. Consequently, the front end of the anti-theft lock is prevented from colliding with components of the docking station, preventing deformation of the front end and extending the service life of the anti-theft lock.

[0078] See also Figure 1 as well as Figure 5 The embodiment of the present invention provides a detachable electronic device 100, which includes a first body 1, a second body 2 and a docking station 3. The docking station 3 is disposed on the first body 1. The docking station 3 is used to dock the first body 1 and the second body 2. Figure 5 As shown, the second body 2 can be detachably connected to the first body 1 through the docking station 3. The first body 1 is, for example, an external keyboard, and the second body 2 is, for example, a tablet computer. Figure 1 As shown, the detachable electronic device 100 can be used with an anti-theft lock 9, such as a Kensington lock ( The anti-theft lock 9 includes a lock core 91 and a body 92.

[0079] like Figure 2 As shown, the docking station 3 includes a pair of fixing seats 31, a pair of rotating shafts 32, a locking module 33, a locking seat 35 and a linkage kit 36. The bottoms of the pair of fixing seats 31 are fixed to both sides of the upper surface of the first body 1. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, one end (i.e., the inner end) of the linkage assembly 36 is fixedly connected to the lock module 33, and the other end (i.e., the outer end) of the linkage assembly 36 is slidably connected to the lock seat 35. As a result, the linkage assembly 36 can drive the lock seat 35 to move linearly as the lock module 33 moves from the locked state to the unlocked state. Through the above structural arrangement, the general operation feature of this embodiment is that when the anti-theft lock lock 9 (see Figure 1 ) on the locking base 35, the locking base 35 restricts the linear displacement of the linkage assembly 36, which in turn restrains the bolt module 33 in the locked state. Thus, this embodiment can simultaneously provide anti-theft functionality for both the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 using a single anti-theft lock 9. The following details each component and its interconnection.

[0080] like Figure 2 As shown, the docking station 3 and the fixing base 31 can be stamped from a metal plate. The bottom of each fixing base 31 is slightly L-shaped and can be fixed to the first body 1 by screwing. In this embodiment, each fixing base 31 is composed of two metal sheets connected together to form a mounting wall 311, which is vertically mounted on the fixing base 31. However, the fixing base of the present invention is not limited to this and can also be stamped and bent from a single metal sheet. The docking station 3 also includes a housing 39 and a pair of side covers 39a and 39b to accommodate or cover the above-mentioned components.

[0081] The pair of rotating shafts 32 of this embodiment are respectively disposed on a pair of fixing seats 31. The rotating shafts 32 are arranged along an axial direction (see FIG. Figure 2 The second body 2 can rotate relative to the fixed base 31 along the Y-axis direction in the vertical direction. Each rotating shaft 32 includes an outer shaft 321 and an inner shaft 322. The outer shaft 321 is arranged on one side of the mounting wall 311, and the inner shaft 322 is arranged on the other side of the mounting wall 311. The rotating shaft 32 can be a pivot bearing of an existing laptop computer. Thus, the second body 2 can rotate relative to the first body 1 along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 32 to adjust the tilt angle, and can be instantly fixed at the adjusted angle. In this embodiment, the two ends of the accommodating shell 39 are respectively locked to a pair of inner shafts 322 of a pair of rotating shafts 32. A pair of side covers 39a and 39b respectively cover the periphery of a pair of outer shafts 321 of a pair of rotating shafts 32. The side cover 39a forms an outer locking hole 390.

[0082] (Ref. Figure 1 )

[0083] The latch module 33 is disposed between the pair of rotating shafts 32, with the second housing 2 being removably secured to the latch module 33. When the latch module 33 is in a locked state, the second housing 2 is locked to the first housing 1. When the latch module 33 is in an unlocked state, the second housing 2 can be separated from the first housing 1 for independent use. In this embodiment, the latch module 33 is movably disposed within the housing 39 to secure the second housing 2 to the docking station 3. Details of the latch module 33 will be described later.

[0084] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the details of the lock base 35 are described as follows. The lock base 35 of this embodiment can be a metal casting, which can be firmly locked to the anti-theft lock 9. Specifically, the lock base 35 of this embodiment has a lock hole cylinder 351. The lock hole cylinder 351 is roughly cup-shaped. The outer wall of the lock hole cylinder 351 forms a lock hole 3510. The position and shape of the lock hole 3510 correspond to the position and shape of the outer lock hole 390. The lock hole cylinder 351 is sleeved on the outside of the outer shaft 321 of the rotating shaft 32. Figure 4 As shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG, when the locking module 33 is in the locked state, there is a distance D between the locking hole 3510 and the outer shaft 321 that allows the locking hole cylinder 351 to move.

[0085] The lock seat 35 is arranged to move linearly in this embodiment as follows: the lock seat 35 is slidably disposed on one of the fixed seats 31, for example, Figure 4 The fixing seat 31 on the left side, however, the present invention is not limited to this. Figure 4As shown, the fixing seat 31 also includes a limiting rod 313 and a spring 314. The limiting rod 313 is parallel to the axial direction and fixed to the mounting wall 311 of the fixing seat 31. Specifically, the limiting rod 313 can be a screw and directly locked to the mounting wall 311. The lock seat 35 also includes a limiting sleeve 352, which is located on one side of the lock hole cylinder 351 and is movably mounted on the limiting rod 313. In other words, the lock seat 35 can move inward or outward on the limiting rod 313 through the limiting sleeve 352. The spring 314 is mounted on the limiting rod 313 and is located on the other side of the lock hole cylinder 351 and between the mounting wall 311 and the lock hole cylinder 351 to provide elastic force for the lock seat 35 to reset. However, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned limiting structure. In an embodiment of the present invention, the lock seat 35 can form a limiting groove at the bottom, and the fixing seat 31 forms a protruding limiting track, and the lock seat 35 can be slidably set on the limiting track.

[0086] The linkage assembly 36 is described in detail below. The linkage assembly 36 has a rotating collar 361 on its outer end (i.e., the end away from the latch module 33). The rotating collar 361 fits over the outer side of the lock cylinder 351 of the lock base 35. The linkage assembly 36 has a connecting portion 362 on its inner end (i.e., the end closer to the latch module 33). The connecting portion 362 is fixedly connected to the latch module 33. The linkage assembly 36 and the latch module 33 are linked by the connecting portion 362. Between the rotating collar 361 and the connecting portion 362 are an extension arm 363 and a frame portion 364. The extension arm 363 extends inward (i.e., toward the latch module 33) from a portion of the rotating collar 361 and connects to one end of the frame portion 364. The connecting portion 362 is located at the other end of the frame portion 364. The inner shaft 322 is located within the frame portion 364, and the outer shaft 321 is located on one side of the extension arm 363. A wall of the lock seat 35 forming the lock hole 3510 is completely exposed to the outer circular opening of the rotating ring 361. The side cover 39a covers the rotating ring 361 and the lock seat 35, and the side cover 39a also forms a corresponding outer lock hole 390.

[0087] When the anti-theft lock 9 (refer to Figure 9A and Figure 9B) is locked in the lock hole 3510 of the lock base 35, the lock core 91 of the anti-theft lock 9 passes through the lock hole 3510, restricting the displacement of the lock base 35. In other words, the lock base 35 is pulled by the lock core 91 of the anti-theft lock 9 and cannot move. In addition, the rotating ring 361 of the linkage assembly 36 is inserted into the lock hole cylinder 351 outside the lock base 35, so the lock base 35 further restricts the linear displacement of the linkage assembly 36. In this case, because one end of the linkage assembly 36 (that is, the inner end extension arm 363) is fixedly connected to the lock bolt module 33, the linkage assembly 36 also restricts the lock bolt module 33 in the locked state. At this time, the second body 2 cannot be unlocked from the lock bolt module 33 and is locked to the first body 1, thereby providing the electronic device 100 with a theft-proof function.

[0088] See also Figure 2 The structure of the locking module 33 of this embodiment is described below. The locking module 33 includes a release button 330, a transmission component 33D and a pair of hooks 37. The release button 330 can be moved to a locking position (such as Figure 3 As shown, in the unforced state) or a released position (as Figure 6 As shown, the force is applied to move in the positive Y-axis direction) to drive the transmission component 33D. Specifically, the release button 330 is slidably provided on the front surface of the accommodating shell 39 (that is, the side close to the first body 1), and passes through the accommodating shell 39 to connect to the transmission component 33D. The transmission component 33D drives a pair of hooks 37 to protrude outward from the shell 39 and be in a locked state, or retract into the shell 39 and be in an unlocked state. The linkage kit 36 corresponds to the locked position and the released position, and is respectively located in a first position (such as Figure 3 As shown, and refer to Figure 9B The linkage assembly 36 is spaced apart from the outer shaft 321 of the rotating shaft 32 by a distance D) and a second position (eg Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the linkage assembly 36 abuts against the outer shaft 321 of the rotating shaft 32). When the release button 330 of the locking module 33 moves, the linkage assembly 36 moves inward (see FIG. Figure 6 and Figure 7 Move in the positive direction of the Y axis until Figure 7 At the same time, the lock seat 35 is pulled inward by the rotating ring 361 of the linkage kit 36.

[0089] It should be noted that the transmission assembly 33D can drive the pair of hooks 37 in two ways. First, the pair of hooks 37 can be driven in the same direction to lock the second body 2, or in opposite directions to unlock it. Second, the transmission assembly 33D can drive the pair of hooks 37 to move simultaneously inward to lock the second body 2, or simultaneously outward to unlock it. The present invention can adopt both methods. This embodiment adopts the second method, which is described below.

[0090] See also Figure 2 In addition to the release button 330, the transmission assembly 33D also includes a first rack 331, a second rack 332 and a relay gear 333. The relay gear 333 rotates at a fixed position. In this embodiment, the relay gear 333 is arranged in the accommodating shell 39, approximately at the center. The first rack 331 and the second rack 332 are arranged in parallel on both sides of the relay gear 333, and each is engaged with the relay gear 333. Specifically, the first rack 331 and the second rack 332 are both arranged in the accommodating shell 39 so as to be linearly movable. The connecting portion 362 of the linkage kit 36 is fixedly connected to the first end 3316 of the first rack 331, and the release button 330 is fixedly connected to the second end 3310 of the first rack 331 (see FIG. 36 ). Figure 2 and Figure 4 ). Through the above arrangement, the first rack 331 and the second rack 332 can produce displacements in opposite directions. That is, when the release button 330 is moved to the right ( Figure 2 When the first rack 331 is driven by the release button 330 to move to the right ( Figure 2 The second rack 332 moves to the left due to the relay gear 333.

[0091] like Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, the docking station 3 of this embodiment also includes a supporting body 38, which is located above the housing 39 and is locked to the inner shaft 322 of the rotating shaft 32. The supporting body 38 at least covers the locking module 33 and is used to support the second body 2. The supporting body 38 has two tenons 382 and a connector 383. The tenons 382 are located approximately above the left frame portion 364 and form a hook hole 3820 for the hook 37 to be exposed. The second body 2 includes two tenons 28, with the two tenons 382 corresponding to the tenon holes 28 of the second body 2. The connector 383 can be electrically connected to the first body 1. Each hook 37 has a pivot portion 370, a leg 374, and a hook portion 372. The hook portion 372 is connected to the upper end of the pivot portion 370, and the leg 374 is connected to the lower end of the pivot portion 370. The pivotal connection 370 is pivotally mounted on the support body 38 perpendicular to the axis, with a pair of legs 374 respectively inserted into the first rack 331 and the second rack 332. In this embodiment, the pivotal connection 370 is pivotally mounted on the support body 38 via a pivot shaft 371 perpendicular to the axis. Driven by the first rack 331 and the second rack 332, the pair of legs 374 are driven by the first rack 331 and the second rack 332, allowing the hook 37 to swing left and right around the pivotal connection 370. The hook 372 selectively protrudes from the support body 38 to lock the second body 2. In this embodiment, each hook 37 is connected to a return spring 375 below the pivotal connection 370, ensuring that the hook 37 protrudes from the support body 38 when the release button 330 is not pushed.

[0092] like Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the second body 2 of the electronic device 100 of the present invention can be connected to the first body 1 via the docking station 3. When the electronic device 100 is not connected to the anti-theft lock 9, the anti-theft lock 9 is not locked to the lock base 35. In other words, the lock core 91 of the anti-theft lock 9 is not in the lock hole 351 of the lock base 35, and the lock base 35 is not fixed by the anti-theft lock 9.

[0093] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the user can push the release button 330 (as shown by the rightward arrow in the figure, that is, in the positive Y-axis direction) to the unlocked state. At this time, the linkage assembly 36 can move to the right as the release button 330 is unlocked, and the lock seat 35 also moves inward with the linkage assembly 36. In other words, the lock seat 35 moves linearly inward along the limit rod 313 and compresses the spring 314. Figure 5 As shown, the hook 37 retracts into the tenon 382, and the second body 2 can be separated from the first body 1. When the user releases the release button 330, the restoring force of the spring 314 pushes the lock base 35 and the linkage assembly 36 outward to their original positions, and at the same time drives the lock bolt module 33 to the locked state, as shown in FIG. Figure 1In addition, the electronic device 100 can be connected to the anti-theft lock 9.

[0094] like Figures 8 to 9C As shown, when the anti-theft lock 9 is locked to the lock seat 35, the lock seat 35 restricts the linkage kit 36 to the first position (as shown in FIG. Figure 9B (as shown), that is, a distance D from the rotating shaft 32. Specifically, the lock core 91 (T-bar) of the anti-theft lock 9 passes through the outer lock hole 390 of the side cover 39a and enters the interior of the keyhole cylinder 351. When the anti-theft lock 9 is turned with the key, the T-shaped lock core 91 becomes perpendicular to the outer lock hole 390 and the lock hole 3510. At this point, the lock core 91 is located between the outer wall of the keyhole cylinder 351 and the outer shaft 321 of the rotating shaft 32. The lock core 91 can pull the keyhole cylinder 351 of the lock base 35, confining it between the side cover 39a and the main body 92 of the anti-theft lock 9. As a result, the keyhole cylinder 351 is hooked by the lock core 91, preventing the lock base 35 from moving. At this point, the linkage assembly 36 is also restricted by the keyhole cylinder 351 of the lock base 35, preventing it from moving. The linkage assembly 36 also pulls on the first rack 331. The release button 330 is also unable to move and is restricted to the locked position (eg Figure 8 shown).

[0095] like Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, when the electronic device 100 of the present invention is connected to the anti-theft lock 9, the linkage assembly 36 can still rotate relative to the lock base 35, so the tilt angle of the second body 2 is still not restricted. Figure 8 Even if the linkage assembly 36 is tilted from 90 degrees to about 120 degrees, it can still rotate relative to the lock base 35. In other words, the rotating ring 361 of the linkage assembly 36 can rotate relative to the lock hole cylinder 351 of the lock base 35. The lock bolt module 33 and the inner shaft 322 of the rotating shaft 32 can still rotate correspondingly, and the second body 2 is positioned at the adjusted angle.

[0097] The beneficial effect of the present invention is at least that the docking station of the electronic device provided by the present invention can provide anti-theft functions for the first body and the second body at the same time through an anti-theft lock. When the anti-theft lock is locked to the lock seat, the lock seat limits the linear displacement of the linkage kit, and the linkage kit limits the lock bolt module to the locked state. Therefore, the front end of the anti-theft lock will not push against the components of the docking station, which can avoid deformation of the front end of the anti-theft lock, thereby extending the service life of the anti-theft lock. In addition, when the electronic device 100 of the present invention is connected to the anti-theft lock 9, the linkage kit 36 can rotate relative to the lock seat 35, so that the rotation angle of the body 2 relative to the body 1 is not restricted.

[0098] The contents disclosed above are only preferred feasible embodiments of the present invention and do not limit the claims of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent technical changes made using the contents of the present invention description and drawings are included in the claims of the present invention.
