Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to an electronic device, in particular, to an electronic device with independent slideable or storable operation module and display module. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the progress of technology and the increasing dependence on computer systems, the market demands higher and higher computing power and data storage capacity for server systems. However, as the available space becomes increasingly narrow, there is a trend that server systems are required to occupy less and less office or factory space. Generally, servers are installed on server racks, and many servers can be stacked on the server racks. In order to effectively manage these servers, server managers usually use a computer switch (KVM switch) to connect these server computers for management of these server computers. In this way, not only the number of required screen, mouse and keyboard modules is reduced, but also the occupied space is reduced.
[0003] However, in the prior art, as shown in Figures 1A-1C is a schematic view of the operation side of the prior art electronic device. The electronic device 1 has an input module 10 and a display module 11 that can slide independently. The rack 13 has uprights 13a-13b, and a support frame 13c is located between the uprights 13a and 13b and connected to the uprights 13a-13b. The display module 11 and the input module 10 are respectively slidably arranged on the support frame 14. In one of the existing designs, the display module 11 and the input module 10 can be respectively locked to the server rack in the use state, and the display module 11 and the input module 10 are respectively provided with a release mechanism. For example, in order to facilitate user operation, the release mechanism of the input module 10 is often arranged on the upper surface, so that when the user wants to store the input module 10 back into the rack 13, the user must first retract the input module 10, and then retract the display module 11. As shown in Figure 1D if the user first flips the display module 11 back to the state of abutting against the input module 10, it will cause the problem of not being able to be stored into the rack 13.
[0004] Furthermore, as shown in 1E, when the user wants to store the input module 10, the user must also use both hands to release the locking mechanisms 12 arranged on both sides of the input module 10, so as to further release the input module 10, and then push the input module 10 into the rack 13 as shown in Figure 1A Such an operation mode will also make the user feel inconvenient in operation. SUMMARY

The release mechanism includes a rotating member and an actuating member, the rotating member is pivoted to the input module, the actuating member is disposed on the input module and has a first end connected to the rotating member and a second end connected to the locking mechanism, wherein when the rotating member is driven, the rotating member will drive the actuating member to drive the locking mechanism from the locked position to the released position.
[0008] In one embodiment, the rotating member includes a structure body, a protruding portion, a rotating shaft, a first guide structure, and a second guide structure. The protruding portion is located on one side of the structure body, the protruding portion has a first inclined surface and a second inclined surface, and the protruding portion protrudes from the surface of the input module.

[0025] Various exemplary embodiments can be more fully described in the following description with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which some exemplary embodiments are shown. It is being understood, however, that this application can be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the exemplary embodiments set forth herein. Rather, this application is to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the scope of the application. Like numbers refer to like elements throughout. The following description will describe audio conversion devices and multimedia control devices in conjunction with various embodiments and drawings, however, the following embodiments are not intended to limit the present application.
[0026] Referring to Figures 2A-2C , which is a first embodiment of an electronic device of the present application. In the figure, Figure 2C The input module of the electronic device 3 is not limited to the keyboard and touchpad, and the like. The electronic device 3 is disposed on the support frames 41a and 41b of the rack 4. In an embodiment, the rack 4 can be disposed in a cabinet, and the rack 4 has four uprights 40a-40d at four corners, the support frame 41a is disposed between the uprights 40a and 40b, and the support frame 41b is disposed between the uprights 40c and 40d. The structure of the rack 4 is a conventional technology, and will not be described in detail. The electronic device 3 has an input module 30 and a display module 31, wherein the input module 30 has a keyboard 303 and a touchpad 304, and the display module 31 has a display panel that can display a picture. The input module 30 and the display module 31 are conventional structures, and will not be described in detail.
[0027] The input module 30 is slidably disposed on the support frames 41a and 41b. The display module 31 is slidably connected to the support frames 41a and 41b. In this embodiment, the support frames 41a and 41b are L-shaped structures connected by a bottom plate 410 and a vertical plate 411. The bottom plate 410 has a slide rail 300, and the vertical plate 411 has a slide rail 310. The slide rail 300 is connected to the input module 30, so that the input module 30 can slide on the support frames 41a and 41b. Similarly, the slide rail 310 is connected to the display module 31, so that the display module 31 can slide on the support frames 41a and 41b. Since the input module 30 and the display module 31 are respectively connected to the slide rails 300 and 310, the input module 30 and the display module 31 can independently slide on the support frames 41a and 41b, respectively. The display module 31 can perform a tilting rotation between a closed position as shown in Figure 2A and an open position as shown in Figure 2B .
[0028] The electronic device 3 further comprises a locking mechanism 32 and a releasing mechanism 33, which are disposed between the input module 30 and the support frames 41a and 41b, and can be actuated between a locking position 90 and a releasing position 91. In an embodiment, the locking mechanism 32 comprises a release member 320 and a locking member (not shown in the figure), the release member 320 is disposed on the upper surface of the input module 30, and the locking member is disposed in the input module 30 and connected to the locking mechanism 32. When the release member 320 of the locking mechanism 32 is in the locking position 90, the locking member will be clamped on the corresponding structure on the support frames 41a and 41b, so that the input module 30 is fixed on the support frames 41a and 41b and cannot slide. When the release member 320 of the locking mechanism 32 moves to the releasing position 91, the locking member will be moved away from the corresponding structure, thereby releasing the clamping state between the input module 30 and the support frames 41a and 41b, so that the input module 30 can slide relative to the support frames 41a and 41b. It should be noted that the mechanism of the locking member is well known to those skilled in the art, and is not the main feature of the present application, although it is not shown, but it will not hinder those skilled in the art to understand the implementation of the present application.
[0029] The releasing mechanism 33 is used to control the locking mechanism 32 to move from the locking position 90 to the releasing position 91. In the present embodiment, the releasing mechanism 33 comprises a rotating member 331 and an actuating member 332, when the rotating member 331 is driven to rotate, the rotating member 331 will actuate the actuating member 332 to displace, so as to drive the locking mechanism 32 to actuate from the locking position 90 to the releasing position 91. The rotating member 331 is pivoted on the input module 30, in the present embodiment, the input module 30 has two side walls 301, and the rotating member 331 is pivoted on the side walls 301. As shown in the figure, it is a partial enlarged view of the releasing mechanism circle area shown in the figure. Figure 2D As shown in the figure, it is a partial enlarged view of the releasing mechanism circle area shown in the figure. Figure 2C The rotating member 331 further has a structural body 331a, a protruding portion 331b, a rotating shaft 331e, a first guide structure 331f and a second guide structure 331g. The protruding portion 331b is located on one side of the structural body 331a, the protruding portion 331b has a first inclined surface 331c and a second inclined surface 331d, and the protruding portion 331b protrudes from the surface 302 of the input module 30 by a certain height, so that at least part of the first and second inclined surfaces 331c and 331d are exposed on the surface 302. In another embodiment, as shown in the figure, Figure 2EAs shown, on the surface of the protruding portion 331b, a rolling element 3310 can be further arranged. In this embodiment, the rolling element 3310 is a ball that can roll, but the rolling element is not limited to this. Users can use other types of rolling elements as needed to achieve the effect of assisting the display module 31 to push the rotating member 331 to rotate when it presses the protruding portion 331b. The rotating shaft 331e is arranged at one corner of the structural body 331a. In this embodiment, the rotating shaft 331e penetrates the structural body 331a and pivots the rotating member 331 to the input module 30, and has a stopper 331h at one end of the rotating shaft 331e to ensure the pivoting state of the structural body 331a and the rotating shaft 331e. The rotating member 331 rotates clockwise or counterclockwise about the rotating shaft 331e.
[0030] The first guide structure 331f is arranged on the other side of the rotating shaft 331e at a distance L from the rotating shaft 331e. In this embodiment, the first guide structure 331f is a guide groove structure having a positioning shaft 333 inside to ensure that the structural body 331a can maintain the same flatness when the rotating member 331 rotates, so that the rotating member 331 does not dislocate. The second guide structure 331g is arranged above the rotating shaft 331e and is coupled to the third guide structure 332a on the actuating member 332. In this embodiment, the second guide structure 331g is a closed guide groove structure, which can be an elliptical guide groove or a rectangular groove, and there is no limitation as long as it can achieve the effect of exerting a force on the third guide structure 332a when the rotating member 331 rotates, so that the third guide structure 332a moves along the direction of the force, thereby driving the actuating member 332 to displace.
[0031] The actuating member 332 is arranged on the input module 30, and the first end of the actuating member 332 is in sliding connection with the rotating member 331, and the second end is connected to the unlocking member 320 of the locking mechanism 32. In this embodiment, the actuating member 332 is connected to the rotating member 331 by the third guide structure 332a at the first end, and the actuating member 332 is connected to the unlocking member 320 of the locking mechanism 32 by the connecting surface 332b at the second end. It should be noted that although in this embodiment the actuating member 332 and the unlocking member 320 are two independent elements, they are not limited to this. In another embodiment, the actuating member 332 and the unlocking member 320 are integrally formed. The actuating member 332 further has a third end 332c connected to an elastic member 334. In this embodiment, the third end 332c is a protruding rod body having a through hole connected to the elastic member 334. The actuating member 332 is driven by the rotating member 331 to produce linear displacement movement in the first direction, thereby pulling the elastic member 334 to accumulate elastic force. The elastic force accumulated by the elastic member 334 is used to bring the actuating member 22 back to the original position.
[0032] Next, the operation of the first embodiment will be described. Please refer to Figures 2A-2B and Figures 3A-3C When the user wants to move the display module 31 from the open position to the closed position, the user can intuitively lift the display module 31 to close to the input module 30 to the closed position as shown in Figure 2B When the display module 31 is in the open position, the user can intuitively lift the display module 31 to close to the input module 30 to the closed position as shown in Figure 2A The user can push the input module 30 and the display module 31 into the rack without the inconvenience of using both hands to push the locking mechanism 32 to unlock in the prior art. In Figure 3A and 3B The display module 31 rotates clockwise to close to the input module 30, so that the driving structure 311 of the display module 31 presses the rotating member 21. In this embodiment, the driving structure 311 is the frame part of the display module 31, and corresponds to the rotating member 331. In the process of rotating the display module 31, the driving structure 311 will contact the protruding part 331b, generating a force on the protruding part 331b. After the protruding part 331b is forced, since the structure body 331a is pivoted on the input module 30, a torque effect is formed between the position of the force and the pivoted position, so that the rotating member 331 rotates clockwise.
[0033] In the process of rotating the rotating member 331 clockwise, on the one hand, the first guide structure 331f and the positioning shaft 333 cooperate with each other, so that the rotating member 331 can rotate clockwise without deviation. At the same time, because of the cooperation between the second guide structure 331g and the third guide structure 332a, when the rotating member 331 rotates, the second guide structure 331g slot wall acts on the third guide structure 332a, so that the rotating member 331 can drive the actuator 332 to move to the right by a certain distance X when it rotates, and then drive the locking mechanism 32 to act from the locked position 90 to the release position 91. In this state, the actuator 332 also pulls the elastic member 334 to move to the right by a certain distance X, so that the elastic member 334 deforms to accumulate elastic force. Therefore, in Figure 3B After the locking mechanism 32 moves to the release position 91, the unlocking state between the input module 30 and the support frame is released, and the user can apply force to the left to push the input module 30 and the display module 31 back into the rack to form the state as shown in Figure 3C
[0034] Please refer to Figures 4A-4C which is another use scenario diagram of the first embodiment of the present application. In this embodiment, the electronic device 3 is mainly changed from the state as shown in Figure 3C to the state as shown inFigure 4A monitoring mode. In the monitoring mode state, as shown in Figure 4A , the input module 30 is located in the rack 4, while the display module 31 is in the state of being flipped up to the open position. When the user wants to convert the electronic device 3 in the storage state as shown in Figure 3C to the monitoring mode as shown in Figure 4A , the user only needs to pull the display module 31 out of the rack 4 and flip it up to the open position. The operation is as follows: as shown in Figure 4B , the user pulls the display module 31 out of the rack 4, and the display module 31 slides along the slide rail 310. During the sliding process of the display module 31, the rotating member 331 is still under the pressure of the driving structure 311 of the display module 31, and the elastic member 334 is in the stretched state because the actuating member 332 is kept in the release position. When the display module 31 continues to be pulled out, so that the driving structure 311 no longer presses the rotating member 331, the elastic force accumulated in the elastic member 334 is released to pull the actuating member 332 back, so that the rotating member 331 turns back to the initial position, forming a state as shown in Figure 4C . Then, the display module 31 can be flipped counterclockwise to form a monitoring mode state as shown in Figure 4A .
[0035] When the user wants to store the display module 31 from the state as shown in Figure 4A to the state as shown in Figure 3C , the user flips the display module 31 clockwise back to the closed position, and then pushes the display module 31 back into the rack 4. It should be noted that, as shown in Figure 4D , because the rotating member 331 has the second inclined surface 331d, the display module 31 can use the slope of the second inclined surface 331d to drive the rotating member 331 to rotate when it is stored, without causing the problem of interference between the display module 31 and the rotating member 331. When the rotating member 331 continuously rotates to the state as shown in Figure 4E , the display module 31 can be directly pushed back into the rack 4 to return to the state as shown in Figure 3C .
[0036] Please refer to Figures 5A-5B , in this embodiment, when the user wants to store the input module 30 into the rack 4 to form the monitoring mode as shown in Figure 4A , in an embodiment, after the user's hands touch the locking mechanism 32 to move it from the locked position 90 to the release position 91, the input module 30 is pushed into the rack 4. As shown in Figure 5AAs shown, because the rotating component 331 has a first inclined surface 331c, when it is pushed into the frame 4, the first inclined surface 331c will contact the front end face of the display module 31. Guided by the first inclined surface 331c, the rotating component 331 rotates clockwise under force, without causing interference between the rotating component 331 and the display module 31. Afterwards, the input module 30 can be smoothly pushed into the frame, forming... Figure 4A and Figure 5B The state shown.
[0037] Please see Figure 6A and Figure 6B As shown, this is a schematic diagram of a second embodiment of the electronic device of this application. For ease of display, the release structure within the input module 30' is shown. Figure 6A and Figure 6B The keyboard and touchpad structures are omitted. In this embodiment, the electronic device 3' has an input module 30', a display module 31', a locking mechanism 32', and a release mechanism 33'. The structure and operation of the locking mechanism 32' with the unlocking member 320' are as described above and will not be repeated here. The electronic device 3' in this embodiment is basically similar to that shown in the first embodiment, except that the release mechanism 33' of the input module 30' in this embodiment is different from the one described above. In one embodiment, the release mechanism 33' includes a rotating member and an actuator 332' connected to an elastic member 334', and further includes a push rod 335 for driving the rotating member. In another embodiment, the release mechanism 33' further includes a pair of actuator rods 337 disposed on both sides of the input module 30' and respectively connected between the rotating member and the actuator 332'. The push rod 335 is slidably disposed at the front end of the input module 30', and the push rod 335 can be displaced by force in the sliding direction 93 of the input module 30'. The rotating element may be, for example, a pair of rotating links 336, each of which is pivotally connected to the housing of the input module 30' via a pivot 336a. The two ends 335a and 335b of the push rod 335 are pivotally connected to one end 336c of the rotating link 336, allowing relative rotation between the push rod 335 and the rotating link 336. The other end 336b of the rotating link 336 is pivotally connected to one end 337b of the actuating rod 337, allowing relative rotation between the rotating link 336 and the actuating rod 337.
[0038] Each actuating rod 337 is connected with the actuating member 332' at the other end. In this embodiment, the other end of each actuating rod 337 has a snap structure 337a embedded in the slotted structure 332e of the corresponding actuating member 332', so that the actuating rod 337 can drive the actuating member 332' to move, thereby controlling the locking mechanism 32' to actuate from the locked position to the released position. It is to be noted that although the actuating rod 337 and the actuating member 332' are independent elements in this embodiment, in another embodiment, the actuating rod 337 and the actuating member 332' can be integrally formed.
[0039] In a use scenario, the effect of using the second embodiment is that when the user wants to change the state of the input and display mode shown in Figure 7A to the monitoring mode shown in Figure 7B , the user no longer needs to use the inconvenient operation of pushing the release with both hands as shown in Figure 1E , but can directly push the input module 30' into the rack 4 with one hand. In Figure 7A and Figure 7B , the input module 30' of the electronic device 3' has a keyboard 303' and a touchpad 304', and the display module 31' has a display panel that can display a picture. The input module 30' and the display module 31' are conventional structures and will not be described here. The release member 320' of the locking mechanism 32' has a locked position 90' and a released position 91', which are as described in the previous embodiments and will not be described here. Next, the operation mode of the second embodiment will be described with reference to Figure 8A and Figure 8B , the user can directly operate the release mechanism 33' with one hand, and by applying force to the push rod 335, the push rod 335 moves in the sliding direction 93. After the push rod 335 is pushed, since the two ends of the push rod 335 are pivoted to the rotating link 336, the push rod 335 drives the rotating link 336 to move in the sliding direction 93 at one end. Since the rotating link 336 has a rotating shaft 336a in the middle, when the rotating link 336 is pushed by the push rod 335, it rotates around the rotating shaft 336a, wherein the left rotating link 336 rotates counterclockwise and the right rotating link 336 rotates clockwise.
[0040] When the left rotating link 336 rotates counterclockwise, the rotating link 336 is driven to slide in the moving direction 94 by the counterclockwise rotation because the rotating link 336 is pivoted with the actuating link 337. Since the actuating link 337 is connected with the actuating member 332', the actuating link 337 drives the actuating member to move in the moving direction 94 by a distance X, thereby moving the unlocking member 320' from the locking position 90 to the unlocking position 91, and thereby releasing the locking relationship between the input module 30' and the support frames 41a and 41b, so that the user can push the input module 30' into the rack 4, and thereby the electronic device 3a becomes the monitoring mode as shown in Figure 7B It is to be noted that the first embodiment and the second embodiment can be combined with each other to form the electronic device 3" as shown in Figure 9 The electronic device 3" has an input module 30", a display module 31", a locking mechanism 32", and release mechanisms 33" and 33"'. The release mechanism 33" includes a rotating member 331', an actuating member 332', and a resilient member 334", and the release mechanism 33" has a push rod 335', a rotating link 336', and an actuating link 337'. The release mechanisms 33" and 33" are the same as the release mechanisms 33 and 33' described above, and will not be described here, Figure 9 The above-described embodiments can make the electronic device 3" have the functions of the first embodiment and the second embodiment at the same time; therefore, the user can achieve one-handed operation to store the electronic device 3" in any use mode.
[0041] The above-described embodiments are only the preferred embodiments or examples of the technical means adopted by the present application to solve the problems, and are not used to limit the scope of the patent implementation of the present application. Any equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the scope of the present application are covered by the present application.
