Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of electronic technology, and more particularly to an electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] Common portable electronic devices, such as laptops, have shock-resistant structures between the screen and the input device. When the laptop is closed, this reduces the impact between the screen and the input device. In addition, it also reduces the torque between the screen and the input device when the laptop is dropped.

[0003] However, because the impact-resistant structure is a raised structure from the casing, it is more prone to scratches or collisions when using a laptop. For example, if the impact-resistant structure is a raised column, it may also break due to long-term impact. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an electronic device that has impact-resistant protection and can prevent damage to the protruding columnar structure.

[0048] Example 1

[0049] Reference Figures 1 to 2 As shown, this embodiment provides an electronic device 100, which includes a housing 110, a positioning post 130, and an operating member 150. In this embodiment, the electronic device 100 is, for example, a laptop computer. In other embodiments, the electronic device 100 is not limited to, but may be, for example, a tablet computer or a keyboard dock.

[0050] Reference Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the housing 110 includes a first side 111 and a second side 112 arranged parallel to each other. A positioning post 130 passes through the housing 110 through the first side 111. The positioning post 130 includes a first end 131 and a second end 132. The first end 131 movably protrudes from the first side 111.

[0051] The operating component 150 is disposed in the housing 110 and is correspondingly disposed with the positioning post 130. The operating component 150 includes a push top 151, which abuts against the second end 132 of the positioning post 130.

[0052] Reference Figure 5 As shown, when the operating member 150 is in the first position, the first end 131 of the positioning post 130 is housed within the housing 110. (Refer to...) Figure 6 As shown, when the operating member 150 is rotated to the second position, the push top 151 abuts against the second end 132, causing the first end 131 of the positioning post 130 to protrude from the first side 111 of the housing 110.

[0053] In this embodiment, reference is made to Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the first position refers to the storage state of positioning post 130 (see details). Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the positioning post 130 is housed within the housing 110. When the user is using the electronic device 100 or when the electronic device 100 is in an open state, the first end 131 of the positioning post 130 can be accommodated within the housing 110 to prevent the first end 131 from protruding from the housing 110 and causing the first end 131 to be impacted or scratch other objects during use. (See reference...) Figures 3 to 4 As shown, the second position refers to the positioning post 130 being in use, with the positioning post 130 protruding from the housing 110. When the user wants to close the electronic device 100 or when the electronic device 100 is in a closed state, the push top 151 of the operating member 150 can abut against the positioning post 130, so that the first end 131 of the positioning post 130 protrudes from the first side 111 of the housing 110, thereby providing the electronic device 100 with an impact-resistant effect.

[0054] Specifically, by pushing the top 151 of the operating member 150, the first end 131 of the positioning post 130 can be selectively protruded from the first side 111 of the housing 110. When the positioning post 130 is in use, the positioning post 130 protruding from the first side 111 can abut against the base 180, which can prevent a large-area direct impact between the housing 110 and the base 180, thus achieving an impact-resistant protection effect. When the positioning post 130 is in the retracted state, the positioning post 130 is retracted into the housing 110 to prevent the positioning post 130 from being bumped or scratched by other objects. In this way, the impact resistance of the electronic device 100 can be maintained, while avoiding damage to the protruding columnar structure.

[0055] In this embodiment, the second end portion 132 is provided with a first plane 1321 and a first protrusion 1322, and the push top 151 is provided with a second plane 1511 and a second protrusion 1512. (Continuing to refer to...) Figures 5 to 6As shown, when the operating member 150 is in the first position, the first protrusion 1322 abuts against the second plane 1511, the second protrusion 1512 abuts against the first plane 1321, and the first end 131 of the positioning post 130 is housed within the housing 110. When the operating member 150 is rotated to the second position, the second protrusion 1512 abuts against the first protrusion 1322, causing the first end 131 of the positioning post 130 to protrude from the first side surface 111 of the housing 110.

[0056] In this embodiment, the positioning post 130 is selectively housed within the housing 110 or protrudes from the first side 111 of the housing 110 due to the influence of a force. For example, referring to... Figures 7 to 8 As shown, when the positioning post 130 is to be in use, the user moves the operating member 150 from the second side 112 with their finger, moving the operating member 150 from the first position ( Figure 7 Change to the second position ( Figure 8 This causes the pusher top 151 to abut against the positioning post 130, causing the first end 131 of the positioning post 130 to protrude from the housing 110 through the first side surface 111 of the housing 110. (See reference...) Figures 5 to 6 As shown, when the user moves the operating member 150, the second protrusion 1512 of the push top 151 moves or rotates relative to the positioning post 130 in the moving direction. More specifically, during the process of the second protrusion 1512 moving to the corresponding first protrusion 1322, as the second protrusion 1512 moves along the inclined surface of the first protrusion 1322, the second protrusion 1512 gradually pushes against the first protrusion 1322, so that the first end 131 of the positioning post 130 protrudes out of the first side 111 of the housing 110. When the positioning post 130 is to be in the retracted state, the user moves the operating member 150 from the second position to the first position with his finger from the second side 112, releasing the push top 151 from the positioning post 130. The user can then push the positioning post 130 back into the housing 110 with his finger from the first side 111. In other embodiments, for example, the operating element 150 is electrically connected to the control device of the electronic device 100. The user can control the operating element 150 to move between a first position and a second position by using physical buttons on the electronic device 100 or virtual buttons on the display surface 116, so that the positioning post 130 is selectively accommodated within the housing 110 or protrudes from the first side 111 of the housing 110.

[0057] Reference Figures 5 to 8 As shown, in this embodiment, the operating element 150 further includes a control element 152, which protrudes from the housing 110. The control element 152 is, for example, a rod-shaped object, convenient for a user to grip and manipulate the operating element 150. (See reference...) Figure 7 and Figure 8The housing 110 also includes a channel 117 formed on the second side 112, through which the control member 152 protrudes. In this embodiment, the control member 152 can move along the channel 117 to change the operating member 150 between a first position and a second position. For example, a user holds the control member 152 from the second side 112, moves the control member 152 along the channel 117, and actuates the operating member 150 to move the operating member 150 from... Figure 5 , Figure 7 The first position is moved to Figure 6 , Figure 8 The second position. Thus, the user can move the operating element 150 to the first position by flicking it with their finger from the second side 112. Figure 7 ) and the second position ( Figure 8 )between.

[0058] Furthermore, continue to refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the electronic device 100 further includes an elastic element 170, which connects the positioning post 130 and the operating element 150, so that the positioning post 130 can be more securely housed within the housing 110 under the action of elastic force. When the positioning post 130 is to be in use, the user moves the operating element 150 from the first position to the second position by pressing it with their finger on the second side 112. Since the second protrusion 1512 abuts against the first protrusion 1322, the first end 131 of the positioning post 130 overcomes the elastic force and protrudes from the first side 111 of the housing 110. When the positioning post 130 is to be in the retracted state, the user moves the operating member 150 from the second position to the first position by using his / her finger on the second side 112. Since the second protrusion 1512 no longer abuts against the first protrusion 1322, the positioning post 130 is pulled back into the housing 110 under the action of elastic force, thus saving the user the step of pushing the positioning post 130 back into the housing 110 with his / her finger.

[0059] Continue to refer to Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the positioning post 130 has a guide portion 133, and the housing 110 is provided with a guide portion 115 corresponding to the guide portion 133, so that the positioning post 130 moves along the guide portion 115 to protrude from the first side 111 or be accommodated in the housing 110.

[0060] Continue to refer to Figures 1 to 3As shown, in this embodiment, the housing 110 further includes a third side surface 113 and a fourth side surface 114 connected together. The opposite sides of the third side surface 113 are respectively connected to the first side surface 111 and the second side surface 112, and the opposite sides of the fourth side surface 114 are respectively connected to the first side surface 111 and the second side surface 112. The positioning post 130 is located adjacent to the connection point between the third side surface 113 and the fourth side surface 114. The electronic device 100 also includes a base 180 corresponding to the housing 110, which is pivotally connected to the housing 110. The base 180 includes a fifth side surface 181 and a sixth side surface 182 arranged parallel to each other. A positioning groove 1811 is provided on the fifth side surface 181. When the first end 131 of the positioning post 130 protrudes from the first side surface 111 of the housing 110, the positioning groove 1811 is used to accommodate the first end 131. This increases the torsional resistance between the housing 110 and the base 180. When the electronic device 100 is dropped, the first end 131, housed in the positioning groove 1811, provides a limiting effect, preventing the electronic device 100 from being damaged by the impact of the drop directly from the pivot point of the housing 110 and the base 180. In this embodiment, the housing 110 has a display surface 116 located on the first side 111 or the second side 112, and the base 180 has an input unit 1812 located on the fifth side 181. Here, the display surface 116 is located on the first side 111, and the input unit 1812, for example, is a keyboard or touchpad, located on the fifth side 181. Furthermore, the positioning post 130 is located outside the display surface 116 on the first side 111 and adjacent to the connection between the third side 113 and the fourth side 114.

[0061] Example 2

[0062] Reference Figures 9 to 10 As shown, the electronic device 100 provided in this embodiment differs from that in Embodiment 1 in that the channel 117 and the control member 152 have different implementations. In this embodiment, the housing 110 further includes a third side 113, a fourth side 114, and a channel 117. The third side 113 is connected to the fourth side 114. The opposite sides of the third side 113 are respectively connected to the first side 111 and the second side 112. The opposite sides of the fourth side 114 are respectively connected to the first side 111 and the second side 112. The channel 117 extends from the third side 113 to the fourth side 114. The control member 152 is exposed in the channel 117 of the housing 110. Specifically, the channel 117 extends from the third side 113 to the fourth side 114, and the control member 152 can move along the channel 117 between the third side 113 and the fourth side 114. For example, the user holds the control 152 on the third side 113, moves the control 152 along the channel 117 and drives the operating member 150 to move the operating member 150 from... Figure 9 The first position is moved to Figure 10The second position. Thus, by placing the control element 152 on the channel 117 of the third side 113 and the fourth side 114, the user can see the control element 152 more directly and operate it more conveniently.

[0063] The other structures of the electronic device 100 provided in this embodiment are the same as those in Embodiment 1, and will not be described in detail here.

[0064] Example 3

[0065] Reference Figure 11 As shown, in this embodiment, the electronic device 100 further includes a protective member 160, which covers the first end 131 of the positioning post 130. The protective member 160 has an outer layer 160a and an inner layer 160b. The outer layer 160a is formed of high-hardness rubber, and the inner layer 160b is formed of high-damping rubber. The protective member 160 covering the positioning post 130 has various embodiments, and other embodiments will be described in detail later. (Refer to...) Figure 11 As shown, in this embodiment, the protective member 160 includes a magnetic attractor 1611, and the positioning post 130 is made of a magnetic metal material. The magnetic attractor 1611 provides magnetic attraction to make the protective member 160 adhere to the positioning post 130. In this embodiment, the magnetic attractor 1611 is, for example, a magnet. By embedding one or more magnetic attractors 1611 in the protective member 160, the protective member 160 adheres to and covers the first end 131 of the positioning post 130, thereby increasing the anti-collision and protective effect of the positioning post 130.

[0066] Example 4

[0067] Reference Figures 12 to 13 As shown, in this embodiment, the positioning post 130 includes a hollow portion 134, and the protective member 160 includes an extending protrusion 1612, which passes through the hollow portion 134. In this embodiment, the protective member 160 forms a columnar extending protrusion 1612. By tightly fitting and fixing the columnar extending protrusion 1612 to the hollow portion 134 of the positioning post 130, the protective member 160 covers the first end portion 131 of the positioning post 130.

[0068] Other embodiments of the protective element 160 covering the positioning post 130 and similar structures of the protective element 160 will not be described in this embodiment.

[0069] Example 5

[0070] Reference Figure 14As shown, regarding other embodiments where the protective member 160 covers the positioning post 130, in this embodiment, the positioning post 130 is made of metal, and the protective member 160 is made of elastic material. The positioning post 130 includes an assembly portion 135 located at the first end 131, and the protective member 160 is formed on the assembly portion 135 by injection molding. The assembly portion 135 is circumferentially disposed on the side of the first end 131, and the surface of the protective member 160 protrudes from the surface of the first end 131 of the positioning post 130. In this embodiment, the protective member 160 is, for example, plastic, rubber, or silicone. In this embodiment, the assembly portion 135 has a serrated structure, and the protective member 160 with corresponding engagement is formed directly on the assembly portion 135 of the positioning post 130 to interlock with each other. In this embodiment, the assembly portion 135 has, for example, a serrated structure, but is not limited to this; any shape that can achieve interlocking is applicable. In addition, the surface of the protective member 160 protrudes slightly from the surface of the first end 131 of the positioning post 130 to prevent the first end 131 of the positioning post 130 from directly contacting the base 180, external devices, or being directly contacted by the user, thereby protecting the positioning post 130 and providing a cushioning effect.

[0071] In summary, according to the electronic device 100 provided in the above embodiments, the first end 131 of the positioning post 130 can be selectively protruded from the first side 111 of the housing 110 by pushing the top 151 of the operating member 150. When the positioning post 130 is in use, the positioning post 130 protruding from the first side 111 is pressed against the base 180, which can prevent the housing 110 and the base 180 from directly impacting each other over a large area, thereby achieving an impact-resistant protection effect. When the positioning post 130 is in the retracted state, the positioning post 130 is retracted into the housing 110 to prevent the positioning post 130 from being bumped or scratched by other objects. In this way, the impact resistance of the electronic device 100 can be maintained, while preventing damage to the protruding columnar structure.

[0072] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will be able to make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
