Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic product technology, and more particularly to a communication system. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional communication systems include a display device and an input device. The display device and the input device are connected to each other by a connecting mechanism. However, because the traditional connecting mechanism often protrudes from the outside of the housing of the display device or input device, it not only makes the housing of the display device or input device look unsightly, but also makes the protruding part susceptible to impact from other objects, resulting in a shorter structural lifespan. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This application provides a communication system that is not easily damaged and has a long structural lifespan.

[0004] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a communication system. The communication system includes a display device and an input device.

[0005] The display device includes a first housing and a latch. The first housing has a through hole that connects the interior and exterior of the first housing. At least a portion of the latch is disposed inside the first housing. The input device has a plug-in space, which includes a first space and a second space. The second space connects to the first space and is located around the periphery of the first space.

[0006] When the display device approaches the input device, a portion of the pin extends out of the through hole in a first direction and is inserted into the first space, and then snaps into the second space in a second direction, which is different from the first direction.

[0007] It is understandable that by placing at least a portion of the latch inside the first housing, the latch is protected by the first housing. This makes the latch less prone to damage, extending the structural lifespan, and consequently, the structure of the communication system is also less susceptible to damage and has a longer lifespan.

[0008] In addition, by placing the latch inside the first housing, sufficient space can be left inside the second housing of the input device. This space can be used to install a rotating mechanism, so that when the display device is connected to the input device, the display device can also rotate relative to the input device through the rotating mechanism to adjust the angle of the display device relative to the input device.

[0009] Furthermore, by first inserting a portion of the pin into the first space of the insertion space along a first direction, and then locking it into the second space of the insertion space along a second direction, a portion of the pin can be locked onto the locking surface of the insertion space. In this way, the display device can be stably connected to the input device. Therefore, the display device and input device of this embodiment not only achieve insertion, but also ensure that the display device is not easily separated from the input device after insertion, resulting in better stability of the communication system.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the display device includes a lever and a first magnetic assembly. The lever includes a first rod portion and a rotating portion. The rotating portion is connected to the first rod portion. The first rod portion is slidably connected to a pin. The rotating portion rotates relative to the first housing. The first magnetic assembly is fixed to the first rod portion. The input device includes a third magnetic assembly, which is fixed to the second housing.

[0011] Under the attraction of the first magnetic group and the third magnetic group, the first rod drives a part of the pin to insert into the first space along the first direction.

[0012] It should be noted that the rotation of the rotating part relative to the first housing includes the following two situations: one is that the rotating part is directly rotatably connected to the first housing; the other is that a fixed plate is fixed on the first housing, and the rotating part is rotatably connected to the fixed plate.

[0013] It is understandable that by setting up a lever structure and utilizing the attraction between the first and third magnetic groups, a portion of the pin can be inserted into the first space along the first direction. This structure is simple and occupies less internal space in the first housing. In other possible implementations, a motor or other driving mechanism can also be used to insert a portion of the pin into the first space along the first direction.

[0014] In one possible implementation, the lever includes a second rod portion connected to the rotating portion on the side away from the first rod portion. The display device includes a torsion spring disposed on the first housing, which applies a force in a first direction to the second rod portion. Thus, when the force on the first rod portion in the first direction decreases, the first rod portion of the lever can rotate counterclockwise under the elastic force of the torsion spring. At this time, the first rod portion of the lever can cause a portion of the pin to slide out of the first space of the insertion space.

[0015] It is understandable that by setting up a second lever section and applying a force along the first direction to the second lever section using a torsion spring, the first lever section can be used to drive a portion of the pin out of the first space of the insertion space. This structure is simple and occupies less internal space in the first housing. In other possible implementations, a motor or other drive mechanism can also be used to drive a portion of the pin out of the first space of the insertion space.

[0016] In one possible implementation, the display device further includes a second magnetic group fixed to the second rod; the input device includes a fourth magnetic group fixed to the second housing; when the display device approaches the input device, the second magnetic group and the fourth magnetic group generate a repulsive force.

[0017] It is understandable that by setting up a lever structure and utilizing the attractive force between the first and third magnetic groups and the repulsive force between the second and fourth magnetic groups, a portion of the pin is driven to insert into the first space along the first direction. In this way, by setting the second and fourth magnetic groups, the volume of the first and third magnetic groups can be effectively reduced. Since the first and third magnetic groups are positioned close to the pin, interference between the first and third magnetic groups and the pin can be avoided when their volume is reduced.

[0018] In one possible implementation, the display device includes a first elastic member, one end of which is connected to a pin and the other end to a first housing; a portion of the pin is engaged in a second space along a second direction under the elastic force of the first elastic member.

[0019] It is understandable that by setting the first elastic element, a portion of the pin is engaged into the second space along the second direction under the elastic force of the first elastic element. Its structure is simple and occupies less internal space in the first housing. In other possible implementations, a motor or other driving mechanism can also be used to drive a portion of the pin into the second space of the insertion space.

[0020] In one possible implementation, the display device includes a return mechanism disposed on the first housing. The return mechanism is used to drive a portion of the latch to slide out of the second space along a third direction, which is opposite to the second direction.

[0021] In one possible implementation, the response mechanism includes an SMA line, a portion of which is connected to a pin; when the SMA line is energized, the SMA line pulls a portion of the pin to slide out of the second space along a third direction.

[0022] Understandably, by setting up an SMA (Surface Mounted Cable) line, when the SMA line is energized, it pulls a portion of the pin out of the second space along a third direction. This structure is simple and occupies minimal internal space within the first housing. Alternatively, a motor or other drive mechanism could be used to pull a portion of the pin out of the second space along a third direction.

[0023] In one possible implementation, the return mechanism includes a slider and a second elastic element, the slider being able to slide relative to the first housing. The slider has a groove with its opening facing the first housing; a pin passes through the groove, a portion of the SMA wire is connected to the slider, one end of the second elastic element is connected to the slider, and the other end is connected to the first housing; the groove includes a first groove wall. When the SMA wire is energized, it pulls the slider, and through the first groove wall, it causes a portion of the pin to slide out of the second space. When the SMA wire is de-energized, the slider slides relative to the first housing under the elastic force of the second elastic element, forming a movable space between the first groove wall and the pin. It should be noted that the slider's ability to slide relative to the first housing includes two scenarios: one is that the slider is directly slidably connected to the first housing; the other is that a fixed plate is fixed to the first housing, and the slider rotates to connect to the fixed plate.

[0024] Understandably, by setting up a slider, the pin can be limited in the thickness direction; on the other hand, when the SMA line is energized, the SMA line pulls the slider, and through the first groove wall of the slider, a portion of the pin slides out of the second space. The slider has a "multi-purpose" effect.

[0025] In one possible implementation, the display device includes a limiting member fixed to the first housing and a portion of which is located within a through hole; the limiting member has a limiting hole through which a portion of a pin extends and is inserted into the insertion space of the second housing when the display device approaches the input device.

[0026] Understandably, by setting a limiting member, and placing a portion of the limiting member within the through hole, when a portion of the pin is positioned within the limiting hole, that portion of the pin can directly extend through the limiting hole and insert into the insertion space of the second housing. Thus, during the installation of the pin into the first housing, the pin does not need to be precisely aligned with the through hole of the first housing, ensuring that a portion of the pin can extend through the through hole to the outside of the first housing.

[0027] In other embodiments, the limiting member may not be necessary. In this case, an insertion space is directly provided in the first housing. The opening of the insertion space is formed on the outer surface of the first housing.

[0028] In one possible implementation, the display device includes a fifth magnetic group disposed on the first housing. The input device includes a sixth magnetic group disposed on the second housing.

[0029] When the display device approaches the input device, the fifth and sixth magnetic groups attract each other, the through hole of the first housing and the opening of the insertion space of the second housing are positioned opposite each other, and a part of the pin extends out through the through hole of the first housing and is inserted into the insertion space of the second housing.

[0030] It is understandable that by setting up a fifth and a sixth magnetic group, and utilizing the attraction between the fifth and sixth magnetic groups, the through hole of the first housing and the opening of the insertion space of the second housing are positioned opposite each other. Its structure is simple and occupies little space.

[0031] In one possible implementation, the insertion space includes a slot or a socket. It is understood that a socket can be a hole structure penetrating both the upper and lower surfaces of the locking member. A slot can be a groove structure penetrating the upper surface of the locking member but not the lower surface.

[0032] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a communication system. The communication system includes a display device and an input device.

[0033] The input device includes a second housing and a latch. The second housing has a through hole that connects the interior and exterior of the second housing. At least a portion of the latch is disposed inside the second housing. The display device includes a latch disposed on the second housing and has a insertion space.

[0034] When the display device approaches the input device, a portion of the pin extends out of the through hole in the first direction and is inserted into the insertion space. The latch slides relative to the second housing in the second direction and locks the pin. The second direction is different from the first direction.

[0035] It is understandable that by placing at least a portion of the latch inside the second housing, the latch is protected by the second housing. This makes the latch less prone to damage, extending the structural lifespan, and consequently, the structure of the communication system is also less susceptible to damage and has a longer lifespan.

[0036] Furthermore, by extending a portion of the pin out of the through hole in the first direction and inserting it into the insertion space, and by using a latch to slide relative to the second housing in the second direction and lock the pin in place, the display device can be stably connected to the input device. Therefore, the display device and input device of this embodiment not only achieve insertion, but also ensure that the display device is not easily separated from the input device after insertion, resulting in better stability of the communication system.

[0037] In one possible implementation, the input device includes a slider and a first magnetic assembly, with a pin slidably connected to the slider and the first magnetic assembly fixed to the slider.

[0038] The display device includes a second magnetic assembly, which is fixed to the first housing. It should be noted that when the first housing is provided with a fixing plate, the second magnetic assembly can also be fixed to the fixing plate.

[0039] When the display device approaches the input device, a portion of the slider slides along a third direction under the attraction of the first and second magnetic groups. A portion of the pin extends out of the through-hole along a first direction under the pushing force of the slider and inserts into the insertion space. This third direction is different from the first direction. The third direction can be opposite to the second direction.

[0040] Understandably, by setting up a slider and utilizing the attraction between the first and third magnetic groups, the slider is driven to slide along a third direction. A portion of the pin extends out of the through-hole along the first direction under the pushing force of the slider and inserts into the insertion space. Its structure is simple and occupies less internal space in the second housing. In other possible implementations, the slider can also be driven to slide along a third direction using a motor or other drive mechanism.

[0041] In one possible implementation, the slider includes a first inclined surface, and the pin includes a third inclined surface facing the first inclined surface. A portion of the pin, under the thrust of the slider and through the engagement of the first and third inclined surfaces, extends out of the through-hole in a first direction and is inserted into the insertion space.

[0042] Understandably, the cooperation between the first and third inclined surfaces allows a portion of the pin to extend out of the through hole in the first direction under the thrust of the slider in the third direction, and then insert into the insertion space. Its structure is simple and occupies less internal space in the second housing.

[0043] In one possible implementation, when the display device is away from the input device, the first magnetic group and the second magnetic group are offset in a third direction. Thus, when the first and second magnetic groups approach each other, the second magnetic group can be attracted by the first magnetic group along the third direction. The second magnetic group can then drive the slider to slide along the third direction. It is understood that this implementation has a relatively simple structure for driving the slider to slide along the third direction and occupies less space in the second housing.

[0044] In one possible implementation, the display device includes an SMA cable, a portion of which is connected to a latch. When the SMA cable is energized, it pulls the latch to slide relative to the first housing along a third direction, separating the latch from the pin. This third direction may be opposite to the second direction.

[0045] Understandably, by setting up an SMA (Surface Mounting Mechanism) cable, when the SMA cable is energized, it pulls the latch to slide relative to the first housing in a third direction, separating the latch from the pin. This structure is simple and occupies minimal internal space within the first housing. Alternatively, a motor or other drive mechanism can be used to pull the latch to slide relative to the first housing in a third direction.

[0046] In one possible implementation, the input device includes an elastic element, one end of which is connected to a slider and the other end to a second housing.

[0047] When the latch separates from the pin, part of the pin is pulled out of the insertion space, the attraction between the first magnetic group and the second magnetic group decreases, the slider slides along the second direction under the elastic force of the elastic element, and part of the pin extends into the second housing through the through hole along the fourth direction under the pulling force of the slider. The fourth direction can be opposite to the first direction.

[0048] Understandably, by incorporating an elastic element, when the latch separates from the pin, a portion of the pin is pulled out of the insertion space, reducing the attraction between the first and second magnetic groups. The slider then slides along the second direction under the elastic force of the elastic element. This design is simple and occupies minimal internal space within the second housing. Alternatively, a motor or other drive mechanism can be used to propel the slider along the second direction.

[0049] In one possible implementation, the slider includes a second inclined surface, and the pin includes a fourth inclined surface facing the second inclined surface.

[0050] A portion of the pin, under the pulling force of the slider, extends into the second housing along the fourth direction through the through hole via the cooperation of the second inclined surface and the fourth inclined surface.

[0051] Understandably, the cooperation between the second and fourth inclined surfaces allows a portion of the pin to extend into the second housing along the fourth direction through the through hole under the pulling force of the slider. Its structure is simple and occupies relatively little internal space within the second housing.

[0052] In one possible implementation, the display device includes a first elastic element, a door panel, and a second elastic element.

[0053] When the display device approaches the input device, a portion of the pin extends out of the through hole in the first direction and is inserted into the insertion space. The pin presses against the door panel, which slides in the first direction and presses against the second elastic member. Under the elastic force of the first elastic member, the latch slides relative to the second housing in the second direction and locks the pin.

[0054] When the SMA line is energized, it pulls the latch, squeezing the first elastic element and sliding it relative to the second housing in a third direction. The latch separates from the pin, and part of the pin is pulled out of the insertion space. Part of the door panel extends into the insertion space under the elastic force of the second elastic element. When the SMA line is de-energized, the latch is held against the door panel by the second elastic element. In this way, on the one hand, the extension of part of the door panel into the insertion space under the elastic force of the second elastic element can prevent external dust or moisture from entering the first housing through the insertion space; on the other hand, the latch holding the door panel against the second elastic element can prevent the door panel from falling out of the insertion space.

[0055] In one possible implementation, the input device includes a slider and a first magnetic assembly, the slider sliding relative to the second housing, the first magnetic assembly being fixed to the slider, and a pin rotatably connected to the second housing.

[0056] The display device includes a second magnetic assembly, which is fixed to the first housing.

[0057] When the display device approaches the input device, the slider slides along a third direction under the attraction of the first magnetic group and the second magnetic group. The slider pushes the pin to rotate relative to the second housing. A part of the pin extends out through the through hole of the second housing along the first direction and is inserted into the insertion space of the second housing. The third direction is different from the first direction.

[0058] Understandably, by setting up a slider and utilizing the attraction between the first and third magnetic groups, the slider is driven to slide along a third direction. Part of the pin rotates relative to the second housing under the thrust of the slider, while another part of the pin extends through a through-hole in the second housing along the first direction and inserts into the insertion space of the second housing. This structure is simple and occupies less internal space in the second housing. In other possible implementations, a motor or other drive mechanism can also be used to drive the slider to slide along a third direction.

[0059] In one possible implementation, the display device includes an SMA cable, a portion of which is connected to a latch.

[0060] When the SMA line is energized, the SMA line pulls the latch to slide relative to the first housing in a third direction, and the latch separates from the pin. The third direction can be opposite to the second direction.

[0061] Understandably, by setting up an SMA (Surface Mounting Mechanism) cable, when the SMA cable is energized, it pulls the latch to slide relative to the first housing in a third direction, separating the latch from the pin. This structure is simple and occupies minimal internal space within the first housing. Alternatively, a motor or other drive mechanism can be used to pull the latch to slide relative to the first housing in a third direction.

[0062] In one possible implementation, the input device includes an elastic element, one end of which is connected to a pin and the other end to a second housing.

[0063] When the latch separates from the pin, part of the pin is pulled out of the insertion space, the attraction between the first magnetic group and the second magnetic group decreases, and the pin is pulled by the elastic force of the elastic element to rotate relative to the second housing. Part of the pin extends into the second housing through the through hole, and the slider slides in the second direction.

[0064] Understandably, by incorporating an elastic element, when the latch and pin separate, a portion of the pin is pulled out of the insertion space. This reduces the attraction between the first and second magnetic groups, and the pin, under the elastic force of the element, rotates relative to the second housing. A portion of the pin then extends into the second housing through the through-hole. This structure is simple and occupies minimal internal space within the second housing. Alternatively, a motor or other driving mechanism can be used to drive the slider to slide along the second direction. Attached Figure Description

[0124] In the description of the embodiments of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the term "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a detachable connection or a non-detachable connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. "Fixed connection" means that the components are connected to each other and their relative positional relationship remains unchanged after connection. "Rotary connection" means that the components are connected to each other and can rotate relative to each other after connection. "Sliding connection" means that the components are connected to each other and can slide relative to each other after connection. The term "integral molding" means that during the formation of one of a plurality of components, that component is connected to the other components without requiring further processing (such as bonding, welding, snap-fit ​​connection, screw connection) to connect the two components together. The directional terms mentioned in the embodiments of this application, such as "bottom," "back," "side," "inner," "outer," "left," and "right," are only for reference to the directions in the accompanying drawings. Therefore, the directional terms used are for better and clearer explanation and understanding of the embodiments of this application, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the embodiments of this application. "A plurality" means at least two.

[0125] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the communication system 1 provided in the embodiments of this application when it is in a separated state. Figure 2 yes Figure 1 The diagram shows a partial exploded view of communication system 1. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the communication system 1 provided in the embodiments of this application when it is in a connected state.

[0126] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the communication system 1 includes a display device 1000 and an input device 2000. The display device 1000 can be a device with display function, such as a tablet computer, mobile phone, laptop computer, or personal digital assistant (PDA). The input device 2000 can be a touchpad, keyboard, mobile phone, tablet computer, laptop computer, or PDA with input function. Figures 1 to 3 The display device 1000 shown is an example of a tablet computer, and the input device 2000 is an example of a touchpad.

[0127] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, communication system 1 includes a disconnected state and a connected state.

[0128] When the communication system 1 is in a disconnected state, the display device 1000 and the input device 2000 are separate, and both the display device 1000 and the input device 2000 can be used independently. For example, when the display device 1000 is a tablet computer and the input device 2000 is a touchpad, the display device 1000 can be used directly to watch movies, and the input device 2000 can be used in conjunction with other devices (such as a computer), for example, it can be used as a touchpad for a computer.

[0129] In one embodiment, the display device 1000 and the input device 2000 can still be used together even when they are separated. For example, the display device 1000 and the input device 2000 can be connected wirelessly. Thus, even when the input device 2000 is far from the display device 1000 but within the communication range, the display device 1000 can still display content entered by the user on the input device 2000.

[0130] When the communication system 1 is connected, the display device 1000 is fixed to the input device 2000, and the input device 2000 can serve as a means of inputting commands to the display device 1000. For example, the display device 1000 and the input device 2000 are communicatively connected; that is, the display device 1000 and the input device 2000 can be wirelessly connected or wired connected. For instance, when the display device 1000 is a tablet computer and the input device 2000 is a touchpad, the user can input content on the input device 2000, and the display device 1000 can display the relevant content.

[0131] It is understandable that when the input device 2000 is fixed to the display device 1000, the input device 2000 can support the display device 1000. Thus, during the display process, the user does not need to hold the display device 1000 or use an additional support frame. The structure of the communication system 1 is relatively simple. In this embodiment, the input device 2000 can serve both as a device for inputting commands to the display device 1000 and as a support for the display device 1000. The input device 2000 has a "multi-purpose" effect.

[0132] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the display device 1000 includes a first connecting component 100 and a first housing 200. The first connecting component 100 is disposed on the first housing 200. The input device 2000 includes a second connecting component 300 and a second housing 400. The second connecting component 300 is disposed on the second housing 400. It should be noted that, since the first connecting component 100 is located inside the first housing 200 and the second connecting component 300 is located inside the second housing 400, Figure 1 and Figure 3 The first connecting component 100 and the second connecting component 300 are simply illustrated with dashed lines.

[0133] In this embodiment, when the communication system 1 is in a connected state, the first connection component 100 is connected to the second connection component 300. Thus, the display device 1000 can be stably mounted on the input device 2000. The specific structures of the first connection component 100 and the second connection component 300 will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0134] In some embodiments, when the first connecting component 100 is connected to the second connecting component 300, the first housing 200 and the second housing 400 may be positioned at a certain angle. For example, the angle between the first housing 200 and the second housing 400 may be 90°, 100°, 120°, 145°, or 160°.

[0135] In some implementations, such as Figure 1 As shown, when the communication system 1 is in a disassembled state, the first connecting component 100 can be entirely located inside the first housing 200. This ensures that, on the one hand, the first connecting component 100 is not exposed outside the first housing 200, resulting in a more consistent appearance of the first housing 200 and better aesthetic appeal. On the other hand, when the display device 1000 is subjected to external impact, the first connecting component 100 is less likely to be deformed or damaged by direct impact.

[0136] It is understandable that when the communication system 1 is in a separated state, the positional relationship between the second connecting component 300 and the second housing 400 can be referenced to the positional relationship between the first connecting component 100 and the first housing 200. Specific details will not be elaborated here.

[0137] In this embodiment, the first connecting component 100 and the second connecting component 300 can constitute the first connecting mechanism of the communication system 1. The first connecting mechanism can serve as the left connecting mechanism of the communication system 1. The communication system 1 may also include a second connecting mechanism. The second connecting mechanism can serve as the right connecting mechanism of the communication system 1. In this way, the connection strength and stability between the display device 1000 and the input device 2000 can be enhanced.

[0138] For example, the second connecting mechanism and the first connecting mechanism can have the same or similar structure, be symmetrical or partially symmetrical, or have different structures. In some embodiments, the second connecting mechanism and the first connecting mechanism can be symmetrical structures. The basic design of the component structure of the second connecting mechanism, the design of the connection relationship between the components, and the design of the connection relationship between the components and other structures outside the assembly can all refer to the relevant scheme of the first connecting mechanism. At the same time, it is permissible for the second connecting mechanism and the first connecting mechanism to have slight differences in the detailed structure or positional arrangement of the components.

[0139] First, the specific structure of the first connecting component 100 will be described in detail below with reference to the relevant accompanying drawings. Figure 4 yes Figure 2 A partially exploded view of the first connecting component 100 shown.

[0140] like Figure 4 As shown, the first connecting assembly 100 includes a fixing plate 11, a lever 12, a pin 13, a return mechanism 14, a first magnetic group 15a, a second magnetic group 15b, a first elastic element 16, a limiting element 17, and a torsion spring 18.

[0141] Figure 5 yes Figure 4 The diagram shows the structure of the fixing plate 11 at different angles. For ease of description, exemplarily, the length direction of the fixing plate 11 is defined as the X-axis, the width direction as the Y-axis, and the thickness direction as the Z-axis. In this embodiment, the negative direction of the Y-axis is taken as the first direction, the positive direction of the X-axis as the second direction, and the negative direction of the X-axis as the third direction. Thus, the first direction is different from the second direction, and the second direction is opposite to the third direction. It is understood that the coordinate system of the communication system 1 can also be flexibly set according to specific needs. In this case, the first and second directions can be flexibly set according to specific needs.

[0142] like Figure 5 As shown, the fixing plate 11 has a first surface 111 and a second surface 112 facing away from each other.

[0143] For example, the fixing plate 11 has a sliding space 113. The sliding space 113 extends through the first surface 111 and the second surface 112 of the fixing plate 11. The number of sliding spaces 113 can be one or more. When there are multiple sliding spaces 113, the multiple sliding spaces 113 are spaced apart. For example, Figure 5 This indicates that there are three sliding spaces 113.

[0144] For example, the sliding space 113 includes a first subspace 1131 and a second subspace 1132. The second subspace 1132 is connected to the first subspace 1131. The first subspace 1131 and the second subspace 1132 can be arranged at an angle. For example, the angle between the first subspace 1131 and the second subspace 1132 is 90°. In this case, the shape of the sliding space 113 can be "L".

[0145] For example, the extension direction of the first subspace 1131 can be the Y-axis direction, and the extension direction of the second subspace 1132 can be the X-axis direction.

[0146] For example, the fixing plate 11 is provided with a first through hole 114. The first through hole 114 penetrates the first surface 111 and the second surface 112 of the fixing plate 11. The first through hole 114 may be spaced apart from the sliding space 113. It is understood that the number of first through holes 114 is not limited. Figure 5 The two shown. When there are multiple first through holes 114, the multiple first through holes 114 are arranged at intervals.

[0147] For example, the fixing plate 11 is also provided with a second through hole 115. The second through hole 115 penetrates the first surface 111 and the second surface 112 of the fixing plate 11. The second through hole 115 is spaced apart from the first through hole 114 and the sliding space 113.

[0148] For example, the fixing plate 11 includes a main body 116 and an extension 117. The extension 117 may be located at the bottom of the main body 116. The sliding space 113 and the first through hole 114 may be located in the main body 116. The second through hole 115 may be located in the extension 117. It should be noted that... Figure 5 The main body 116 and the extension 117 are schematically distinguished by dashed lines.

[0149] It is understood that the fixing plate 11 can be a single structural component, meaning that the main body 116 and the extension 117 are integrally formed. The fixing plate 11 can also be a spliced ​​structural component. For example, the main body 116 and the extension 117 can be formed into a single structural component through splicing (e.g., mortise and tenon joints) or fixing (e.g., welding, bonding, etc.). This application does not specifically limit the method.

[0150] Figure 6 yes Figure 4 The diagram shows the structure of lever 12 at different angles.

[0151] like Figure 6 As shown, lever 12 has a first surface 121 and a second surface 122 facing away from each other. Lever 12 is provided with a rotating hole 123. The rotating hole 123 passes through the first surface 121 and the second surface 122 of lever 12.

[0152] For example, the lever 12 is also provided with a protrusion 124. The protrusion 124 is connected to the first surface 121 of the lever 12. The protrusion 124 may also be integrally formed with the lever 12.

[0153] By way of example, lever 12 includes a first rod portion 125, a second rod portion 126, and a rotating portion 127. The rotating portion 127 is connected between the first rod portion 125 and the second rod portion 126. In this case, the second rod portion 126 is connected to the side of the rotating portion 127 away from the first rod portion 125. A rotating hole 123 may be located in the rotating portion 127. A protrusion 124 may be located in the first rod portion 125. In other embodiments, lever 12 may not include the second rod portion 126.

[0154] It is understood that the lever 12 can be a single structural component, meaning that the first rod 125, the second rod 126, and the rotating part 127 are integrally formed. The lever 12 can also be a spliced ​​structural component. For example, the first rod 125, the second rod 126, and the rotating part 127 can be formed into a single structural component through splicing (e.g., mortise and tenon joints) or fixing (e.g., welding, bonding). This application does not specifically limit the method.

[0155] In one embodiment, the first rod portion 125 and the second rod portion 126 may be arranged at an angle, that is, the first rod portion 125 is inclined relative to the second rod portion 126. For example, the angle between the second rod portions 126 is in the range of 90° to 180°. For example, 90°, 135° or 180°.

[0156] In one embodiment, a portion of the first rod portion 125 and the rotating portion 127 form a first groove 128a. The first groove 128a can be used to accommodate the first magnetic assembly 15a.

[0157] In one embodiment, a portion of the second rod portion 126 and the rotating portion 127 form a second groove 128b. The second groove 128b can be used to accommodate the second magnetic assembly 15b.

[0158] Figure 7 yes Figure 2 A partial structural schematic diagram of the first connecting component 100 is shown. Exemplarily, Figure 7 The diagram illustrates the assembly between the fixing plate 11 and the lever 12.

[0159] like Figure 7 As shown, and in combination Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, lever 12 is rotatably connected to fixed plate 11.

[0160] For example, a portion of the extension 117 of the fixing plate 11 is inserted into the rotation hole 123 of the rotation portion 127 of the lever 12. The lever 12 can rotate relative to the fixing plate 11 with the extension 117 of the fixing plate 11 as a support point.

[0161] Alternatively, in this embodiment, a fitting 11a (e.g., a screw) can be passed through the second through hole 115 of the extension 117 of the fixing plate 11 and the rotation hole 123 of the lever 12, and the fitting 11a can be fixedly connected to the fixing plate 11 (e.g., the screw is locked to the wall of the second through hole 115). In this way, the rotation portion 127 of the lever 12 can be restricted between the head of the fitting 11a and the fixing plate 11, so that when the lever 12 rotates relative to the fixing plate 11, the lever 12 is not easily disengaged from the fixing plate 11.

[0162] In other embodiments, lever 12 can also rotate the connecting fixing plate 11 through other configurations. This application does not specifically limit the method of rotation.

[0163] In one embodiment, the first rod portion 125 of the lever 12 may be located at the bottom of the main body portion 116 of the fixed plate 11. In this way, when the lever 12 rotates relative to the fixed plate 11, the first rod portion 125 of the lever 12 may move closer to or further away from the main body portion 116 of the fixed plate 11.

[0164] Figure 8 yes Figure 7 The diagram shows a portion of the first connecting component 100 at different angles.

[0165] like Figure 8 As shown, the rotating portion 127 of the lever 12 may be provided with a first receiving groove 129. A portion of the extension 117 of the fixing plate 11 may be located within the first receiving groove 129 of the lever 12. It is understood that when the lever 12 rotates relative to the fixing plate 11, the side of the extension 117 of the fixing plate 11 may abut against the groove wall of the first receiving groove 129 of the lever 12, thereby restricting the lever 12 from continuing to rotate. In other words, the angle of rotation of the lever 12 relative to the fixing plate 11 can be restricted by the cooperation between the extension 117 and the first receiving groove 129.

[0166] Figure 9 yes Figure 4 The diagram shows the structure of the pin 13 at different angles. Figure 10 yes Figure 2 A partial structural schematic diagram of the first connecting component 100 is shown. Exemplarily, Figure 10 The diagram illustrates the assembly of the fixed plate 11, lever 12, pin 13 and first elastic element 16. Figure 11a yes Figure 10 The diagram shows a portion of the first connecting component 100 at different angles.

[0167] like Figures 9 to 11a As shown, the pin 13 slides to connect the fixing plate 11.

[0168] By way of example, the pin 13 has a protrusion 131. The protrusion 131 may be cylindrical. The number of protrusions 131 is not limited to... Figure 11a The three protrusions 131 are shown in the diagram. The three protrusions 131 can be arranged in a triangular pattern. In other embodiments, the arrangement, number, and shape of the protrusions 131 are not specifically limited.

[0169] The protrusion 131 of the pin 13 can be located in the sliding space 113 of the fixing plate 11. Figure 5 The structure of the protrusion 131 is illustrated from different angles. For example, multiple protrusions 131 are arranged one-to-one within multiple sliding spaces 113.

[0170] It can be understood that, through the engagement between the protrusion 131 of the pin 13 and the sliding space 113 of the fixing plate 11, the pin 13 can slide relative to the fixing plate 11 in a fixed direction. For example, the sliding space 113 includes a first subspace 1131 and a second subspace 1132. The first subspace 1131 extends in the Y-axis direction, and the second subspace 1132 extends in the X-axis direction. Thus, through the engagement between the protrusion 131 of the pin 13 and the sliding space 113 of the fixing plate 11, when the protrusion 131 of the pin 13 is located in the first subspace 1131, the pin 13 can slide relative to the fixing plate 11 in the Y-axis direction, and when the protrusion 131 of the pin 13 is located in the second subspace 1132, the pin 13 can slide relative to the fixing plate 11 in the X-axis direction.

[0171] In other embodiments, the protrusion 131 of the pin 13 and the sliding space 113 of the fixing plate 11 can be interchanged, that is, the pin 13 is provided with the sliding space 113 and the fixing plate 11 is provided with the protrusion 131.

[0172] In other embodiments, the pin 13 may also be slidably connected to the fixing plate 11 in other ways.

[0173] like Figures 9 to 11a As shown, pin 13 slides to connect lever 12.

[0174] For example, the pin 13 has a slotted hole 132. The slotted hole 132 can extend along the X-axis direction. The protrusion 124 of the lever 12 ( Figure 6 The structure of the protruding post 124 (illustrated from different angles) can be located within the slotted hole 132 of the pin 13. It can be understood that, through the cooperation between the protruding post 124 of the lever 12 and the slotted hole 132 of the pin 13, the pin 13 can slide along the X-axis direction when it slides relative to the lever 12.

[0175] It should be noted that, Figure 10The diagram illustrates that the protrusion 124 of the lever 12 is inserted into the slot 132 of the pin 13 from the side where the second face 134 of the pin 13 is located. In other embodiments, the protrusion 124 of the lever 12 may also be inserted into the slot 132 of the pin 13 from the side where the first face 133 of the pin 13 is located.

[0176] like Figures 9 to 11a As shown, one end of the first elastic member 16 is fixedly connected to the pin 13, and the other end is used to fixally connect to the first housing 200 (see [reference]). Figure 2 For example, the first elastic element 16 may be a spring. In other embodiments, the first elastic element 16 may also be a sheet or other elastic component such as rubber.

[0177] For example, the pin 13 is provided with a hook portion 135. One end of the first elastic member 16 can be hooked onto the hook portion 135 of the pin 13.

[0178] For example, the other end of the first elastic element 16 may also be hooked onto the first housing 200.

[0179] In other embodiments, the connection method between the first elastic element 16, the pin 13, and the first housing 200 is not specifically limited.

[0180] In other embodiments, the other end of the first elastic member 16 may also be fixedly connected to the fixing plate 11, rather than fixedly connected to the first housing 200.

[0181] For example, the first elastic element 16 is in a stretched state. Thus, the first elastic element 16 can apply a spring force to the pin 13. In one embodiment, the first elastic element 16 can apply a spring force to the pin 13 in the positive direction along the X-axis.

[0182] Figure 11b yes Figure 2 The diagram shows a partial structural schematic of the first connection component 100 when the communication system 1 is in a connected state.

[0183] like Figure 10 , Figure 11a as well as Figure 11bAs shown, when lever 12 rotates clockwise relative to fixed plate 11, the first rod portion 125 and protrusion 124 of lever 12 can apply a force in the negative Y-axis direction to pin 13. Since the protrusion 131 of pin 13 is located within the first subspace 1131 of sliding space 113 of fixed plate 11, there is no obstruction to the protrusion 131 of pin 13 in the negative Y-axis direction. At this time, lever 12 can drive pin 13 to slide in the negative Y-axis direction until it slides to the bottom of the first subspace 1131. In other words, the protrusion 131 of pin 13 slides along the extension direction of the first subspace 1131 of sliding space 113 of fixed plate 11 until it slides to the bottom of the first subspace 1131. At this time, the protrusion 131 of pin 13 faces the second subspace 1132 of sliding space 113 of fixed plate 11. Since the protrusion 131 of the pin 13 is unobstructed in the positive X-axis direction, and the first elastic member 16 applies a spring force to the pin 13 in the positive X-axis direction, the protrusion 131 of the pin 13 can slide in the positive X-axis direction within the second subspace 1132 of the sliding space 113 of the fixed plate 11 under the tension of the first elastic member 16. That is, the pin 13 can slide relative to the fixed plate 11 in the positive X-axis direction under the tension of the first elastic member 16. Furthermore, since the pin 13 slides relative to the fixed plate 11 in the positive X-axis direction, while the lever 12 rotates relative to the fixed plate 11 (i.e., the lever 12 is stationary relative to the fixed plate 11 in the positive X-axis direction), the pin 13 slides relative to the lever 12 in the positive X-axis direction. Exemplarily, the protrusion 124 of the lever 12 can slide relative to the slot 132 of the pin 13 in the negative X-axis direction. It is understood that the position of the protrusion 124 of the lever 12 can be adjusted. Figure 11a Slide the position to Figure 11b The indicated location.

[0184] Figure 12 yes Figure 4 An exploded view of the response mechanism 14 shown.

[0185] like Figure 12 As shown, the return mechanism 14 includes a force-applying element 141, a slider 142, and a second elastic element 143.

[0186] For example, the force-applying component 141 can be a shape memory alloy (SMA) wire, also known as a memory metal wire. The force-applying component 141 can also be a component or device such as a motor that has the ability to apply force.

[0187] For example, the second elastic element 143 may be a spring. In other embodiments, the second elastic element 143 may also be a sheet or a rubber component with elasticity.

[0188] Figure 13 yes Figure 2A partial structural schematic diagram of the first connecting component 100 is shown. Exemplarily, Figure 13 The diagram illustrates the assembly between the fixed plate 11 and the slider 142. Figure 14 yes Figure 13 The diagram shows a partial first connection component in the communication system 1 in a connected state and a disconnected state.

[0189] like Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, slider 142 is slidably connected to fixed plate 11.

[0190] By way of example, the slider 142 has a first surface 1421 and a second surface 1422 disposed opposite to each other. The slider 142 is provided with a slotted hole 1423. The slotted hole 1423 penetrates through the first surface 1421 and the second surface 1422 of the slider 142. The number of slotted holes 1423 is not limited to... Figure 13 The two shown are spaced apart. The extension direction of the two slots 1423 can be the X-axis direction.

[0191] For example, by passing a mating part 11b (e.g., a screw) through the slotted hole 1423 of the slider 142 and the first through hole 114 of the fixing plate 11, and fixing the mating part 11b to the fixing plate 11 (e.g., the screw is locked to the wall of the first through hole 114), the slider 142 can be confined between the mating part 11b and the fixing plate 11. Since the extending direction of the slotted hole 1423 can be the X-axis direction, the slider 142 can slide relative to the fixing plate 11 in the X-axis direction.

[0192] In other embodiments, the slider 142 can also be slidably connected to the fixing plate 11 by other connection methods.

[0193] like Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, when slider 142 is in Figure 13 When the indicated position is reached, the slider 142 can slide relative to the fixed plate 11 along the negative X-axis until it reaches the desired position. Figure 14 The indicated location. Figure 13 The dashed line with an arrow indicates the direction in which slider 142 can slide. When slider 142 is in... Figure 14 When the indicated position is reached, the slider 142 can slide relative to the fixed plate 11 along the positive X-axis until it reaches the desired position. Figure 13 The indicated location. Figure 14 The direction in which slider 142 can slide is indicated by the dashed line with an arrow.

[0194] Figure 15 yes Figure 2 A partial structural schematic diagram of the first connecting component 100 is shown. Exemplarily, Figure 15The diagram illustrates the assembly of the fixed plate 11 with the force-applying component 141, the slider 142, and the second elastic component 143.

[0195] like Figure 12 and Figure 15 As shown, a portion of the force-applying component 141 is connected to the slider 142.

[0196] In one embodiment, the force-applying member 141 includes a first end 1411, a middle portion 1412, and a second end 1413. The middle portion 1412 of the force-applying member 141 is connected to the slider 142. One of the first end 1411 and the second end 1413 of the force-applying member 141 is electrically connected to the positive terminal of a power source (not shown), and the other is electrically connected to the negative terminal of the power source. The force-applying member 141 and the power source can form a current loop.

[0197] Exemplarily, the slider 142 has a first protrusion 1424. Furthermore, the first connecting assembly 100 also includes a mating member 11c. The area of ​​the head of the mating member 11c is larger than the area of ​​the rod portion of the mating member 11c. The rod portion has a through hole. The first protrusion 1424 of the slider 142 can be located within the through hole of the mating member 11c. The first protrusion 1424 of the slider 142 is tightly fitted with the through hole of the mating member 11c. The middle portion 1412 of the force-applying member 141 can be wrapped around the rod portion of the mating member 11c.

[0198] In other embodiments, the mating part 11c can also be fixedly connected to the slider 142 by other configuration methods.

[0199] In other embodiments, the force-applying element 141 may also be connected to the slider 142 in other ways.

[0200] like Figure 15 As shown, one end of the second elastic member 143 is fixedly connected to the slider 142, and the other end can be used to connect with the first housing 200 (see Figure 142). Figure 2 Fixed connection.

[0201] For example, the slider 142 is provided with a second protrusion 1425. The second protrusion 1425 is spaced apart from the first protrusion 1424. One end of the second elastic member 143 can be hooked onto the second protrusion 1425 of the slider 142.

[0202] For example, the other end of the second elastic element 143 may also be hooked onto the first housing 200.

[0203] In other embodiments, the connection method between the second elastic element 143, the slider 142, and the first housing 200 is not specifically limited.

[0204] In other embodiments, by changing the shape of the fixing plate 11, the other end of the second elastic member 143 can also be fixedly connected to the fixing plate 11, instead of being fixedly connected to the first housing 200.

[0205] like Figures 13 to 15 As shown, the function of the force-applying component 141 is described using an SMA cable as an example. When the SMA cable is energized, it generates a contraction force, applying a force along the negative X-axis to the slider 142. The SMA cable can drive the slider 142 to slide relative to the fixed plate 11 along the negative X-axis. At this time, the slider 142 moves from... Figure 13 Slide to the indicated position Figure 14 The position is shown. At this time, the second elastic element 143 can be in a stretched state. The second elastic element 143 applies a force to the slider 142 in the positive direction of the X-axis. When the SMA line is de-energized, the second elastic element 143 can pull the slider 142 to slide in the positive direction of the X-axis. At this time, the slider 142 moves from... Figure 14 Slide to the indicated position Figure 13 The indicated location.

[0206] For example, in Figure 14 In the indicated position, the second elastic element 143 is in a stretched state. And... Figure 13 In the indicated position, the second elastic element 143 can be in a stretched state or in a natural state.

[0207] In other embodiments, the slider 142 can also be pulled relative to the fixed plate 11 in the negative direction of the X-axis by a force-applying member 141 of other structures. For example, the force-applying member 141 is a motor.

[0208] Figure 16 yes Figure 2 The diagram shows a partial structural representation of the first connection component 100 when the communication system 1 is in a connected state. In other words, Figure 16 yes Figure 3 A partial structural schematic diagram of the first connecting component 100 is shown. Exemplarily, Figure 16 The diagram illustrates the assembly of the fixed plate 11, lever 12, pin 13, return mechanism 14, and first elastic element 16.

[0209] like Figure 16 As shown, pin 13 is slidably connected to slider 142.

[0210] For example, the slider 142 is provided with a groove 1426. The groove 1426 includes a second groove wall 1426a and a first groove wall 1426b. The length of the groove 1426 in the X-axis direction is greater than the dimension of the pin 13 in the X-axis direction. The length of the groove 1426 in the X-axis direction can be the distance between the second groove wall 1426a and the first groove wall 1426b.

[0211] The opening of the slide groove 1426 faces the fixing plate 11, that is, the opening of the slide groove 1426 faces the first housing 200 (see [reference]). Figure 2 The slide groove 1426 and the fixed plate 11 can form a movable space. A portion of the pin 13 passes through the slide groove 1426 from one side of the slider 142 to the other side of the slider 142. At this time, a portion of the pin 13 can be located within this space. The pin 13 can slide relative to the slider 142 in the Y-axis direction within this space. In addition, since the length of the slide groove 1426 in the X-axis direction is greater than the dimension of the pin 13 in the X-axis direction, the pin 13 can also slide relative to the slider 142 in the X-axis direction within this space.

[0212] Figure 17a yes Figure 16 The diagram shows the structure of the first connecting component 100 at different angles. Figure 17b yes Figure 2 The diagram shows the structure of the first connection component 100 in the communication system 1 between the connected state and the disconnected state.

[0213] like Figure 16 , Figure 17a and Figure 17b As shown, when the SMA line (i.e., the force-applying element 141) drives the slider 142 to slide relative to the fixed plate 11 in the negative X-axis direction, the slider 142 can drive the pin 13 to slide in the negative X-axis direction. It can be understood that the slider 142 can drive the pin 13 to slide in the negative X-axis direction through the first groove wall 1426b of the slide groove 1426. At this time, under the pulling force of the slider 142, the protrusion 131 of the pin 13 can slide in the negative X-axis direction within the second subspace 1132 of the sliding space 113 of the fixed plate 11. Additionally, the pin 13 slides relative to the lever 12 in the negative X-axis direction. Exemplarily, the protrusion 124 of the lever 12 can slide relative to the slot 132 of the pin 13 in the positive X-axis direction. The position of the protrusion 124 of the lever 12 is determined by... Figure 16 and Figure 17a Slide to the indicated position Figure 17b The indicated location.

[0214] like Figure 15 and Figure 16As shown, when the SMA line (i.e., the force-applying element 141) is de-energized, the length of the SMA line can approximately return to its original length, and the second elastic element 143 pulls the slider 142 to slide relative to the fixed plate 11 in the positive X-axis direction. At this time, since the length of the groove 1426 in the X-axis direction is greater than the dimension of the pin 13 in the X-axis direction, the slider 142 no longer drives the pin 13 to slide in the positive X-axis direction. When the slider 142 slides to... Figure 14 When in position, the second groove wall 1426a of the slide 1426 can contact the pin 13, and the first groove wall 1426b of the slide 1426 is separated from the pin 13, that is, a movable space is formed between the first groove wall 1426b and the pin 13. In other embodiments, when the slider 142 slides to... Figure 14 In the correct position, the second groove wall 1426a of the slide 1426 may not contact the pin 13. It is understood that the space between the first groove wall 1426b of the slide 1426 and the pin 13 can be used to ensure that the pin 13 does not interfere with the slider 142 when the pin 13 slides in the positive direction of the X-axis.

[0215] In other embodiments, other drive mechanisms may be used to drive the pin 13 to slide in the negative direction of the X-axis.

[0216] Figure 18 yes Figure 4 The diagram shows the limiting member 17 at different angles. Figure 19 yes Figure 2 A partial structural schematic diagram of the first connecting component 100 is shown. Exemplarily, Figure 19 The diagram illustrates the assembly of the fixed plate 11, lever 12, pin 13, return mechanism 14, first elastic element 16, and limiting element 17.

[0217] like Figure 18 and Figure 19 As shown, the limiting member 17 can engage with the first housing 200 (see [reference]). Figure 2 Fixed connection.

[0218] For example, the limiting member 17 can be locked to the first housing 200 by fasteners (screws, bolts, etc.) (see [link]). Figure 2 )superior.

[0219] In other embodiments, the limiting member 17 may also be fixedly connected to the fixing plate 11.

[0220] like Figure 18 and Figure 19 As shown, the pin 13 slides to connect with the limiting member 17.

[0221] For example, the limiting member 17 is provided with a limiting hole 171. A portion of the pin 13 extends into the limiting hole 171 from one side of the limiting member 17. At this time, a portion of the pin 13 is located within the limiting hole 171. In this way, in the Z-axis direction, the pin 13 can be prevented from dislodging along the Z-axis direction through the cooperation between the limiting member 17 and the first housing 200, and the connection between the pin 13 and the fixing plate 11 is more stable.

[0222] Figure 20 yes Figure 19 The diagram shows a partial structural schematic of the first connection component 100 when the communication system 1 is in a connected state.

[0223] like Figure 19 and Figure 20 As shown, when lever 12 rotates clockwise relative to fixed plate 11, lever 12 can drive pin 13 to slide in the negative direction of the Y-axis. At this time, a part of pin 13 can extend through the limiting hole 171 of limiting member 17, that is, the position of pin 13 relative to limiting member 17 can be adjusted. Figure 19 Position change to Figure 20 The location.

[0224] In addition, when the pin 13 can slide relative to the fixed plate 11 in the positive direction of the X-axis under the tension of the first elastic member 16, the pin 13 can also slide relative to the limiting member 17 in the positive direction of the X-axis.

[0225] Furthermore, when the SMA line (i.e., the force-applying element 141) drives the slider 142 to slide relative to the fixed plate 11 in the negative X-axis direction, the slider 142 can drive the pin 13 to slide in the negative X-axis direction. At this time, the pin 13 can slide relative to the limiting element 17 in the negative X-axis direction.

[0226] Figure 21 yes Figure 2 A partial structural schematic diagram of the first connecting component 100 is shown. Exemplarily, Figure 21 The diagram illustrates the assembly of the fixed plate 11, lever 12, pin 13, return mechanism 14, first magnetic group 15a, second magnetic group 15b, first elastic element 16, limiting element 17, and torsion spring 18. Figure 22 yes Figure 21 The diagram shows a partial structural schematic of the first connection component 100 when the communication system 1 is in a connected state.

[0227] like Figure 21 and Figure 22 As shown, the first magnetic assembly 15a is fixed to the first rod portion 125 of the lever 12. The second magnetic assembly 15b is fixed to the second rod portion 126 of the lever 12.

[0228] For example, the first magnetic assembly 15a can be accommodated in the first slot 128a of the lever 12. The second magnetic assembly 15b can be accommodated in the second slot 128b of the lever 12.

[0229] For example, the first magnetic group 15a can be a Heilbeck array. The first magnetic group 15a may include a first magnet 151a, a second magnet 152a, and a third magnet 153a. The magnetic field lines of the first magnet 151a and the third magnet 153a are in opposite directions. The magnetic field lines of the second magnet 152a are perpendicular to the magnetic field lines of the first magnet 151a.

[0230] In other embodiments, the magnetic field lines of the first magnet 151a may be in the opposite direction to those of the third magnet 153a. The magnetic field lines of the second magnet 152a may be in the opposite direction to those of the first magnet 151a.

[0231] In other embodiments, the first connecting assembly 100 may not include the second magnetic assembly 15b. In this case, the lever 12 may not include the second rod portion 126.

[0232] like Figure 21 and Figure 22 As shown, the structure of the second magnetic group 15b can be referred to the relevant description of the first magnetic group 15a, and the magnetic field lines of the first magnet 151b, the second magnet 152b and the third magnet 153b of the second magnetic group 15b are opposite to the magnetic field lines of the first magnet 151a, the second magnet 152a and the third magnet 153a of the first magnetic group 15a.

[0233] like Figure 21 and Figure 22 As shown, the torsion spring 18 includes a first end 181, a middle portion 182, and a second end 183. The middle portion 182 of the torsion spring 18 can be used with the first housing 200 (see [reference]). Figure 2 Fixed connection.

[0234] For example, lever 12 is provided with a limiting groove 91 ( Figure 8 (The structure of the limiting groove 91 is illustrated from another angle). A portion of the first end 181 of the torsion spring 18 can be disposed within the limiting groove 91 and contact the groove wall of the limiting groove 91. The first end 181 of the torsion spring 18 can apply a force in the negative direction of the Y-axis to the groove wall of the limiting groove 91. At this time, the first end 181 of the torsion spring 18 can apply a force in the negative direction of the Y-axis to the second rod portion 126. In this way, the first rod portion 125 of the lever 12 can tilt relative to the second rod portion 126 in the positive direction of the Y-axis.

[0235] like Figure 21 and Figure 22As shown, when the second rod portion 126 of lever 12 is subjected to a force in the positive direction of the Y-axis and / or the first rod portion 125 is subjected to a force in the negative direction of the Y-axis, the first rod portion 125 of lever 12 can overcome the elastic force of the torsion spring 18, thereby allowing lever 12 to rotate clockwise. Figure 21 (Illustrated by the dotted line with an arrow) Rotate. At this time, the first rod 125 of lever 12 can drive the pin 13 to slide in the negative direction of the Y-axis. When the second rod 126 of lever 12 is no longer subjected to a force in the positive direction of the Y-axis and / or the first rod 125 is no longer subjected to a force in the negative direction of the Y-axis, the first rod 125 of lever 12, under the elastic force of the torsion spring 18, can rotate in the counterclockwise direction (…). Figure 22 (Illustrated by the dotted line with an arrow) Rotation. At this time, the first rod portion 125 of the lever 12 can drive the pin 13 to slide in the positive direction of the Y-axis. Regarding the second rod portion 126 of the lever 12 being subject to a force in the positive direction of the Y-axis, and the first rod portion 125 being subject to a force in the negative direction of the Y-axis, the following will be described in detail with reference to the second connecting assembly 300 of the input device 2000.

[0236] Figure 23 yes Figure 2 The diagram shows the structure of the first housing 200. Figure 24 yes Figure 23 A partial enlarged view of the first housing 200 at point A1. Figure 25 yes Figure 1 A partial structural schematic diagram of the display device 1000 is shown. Exemplarily, Figure 25 A partially enlarged view shows the first housing 200 and the first connecting assembly 100 assembled at point A1.

[0237] like Figures 23 to 25 As shown, the fixing plate 11 is fixedly connected to the first housing 200. The fixing plate 11 can be locked onto the first housing 200 by fasteners.

[0238] In one embodiment, a positioning post and positioning hole mating structure can be provided between the fixing plate 11 and the first housing 200 to improve the stability of the connection between them. This application does not strictly limit the connection structure between the fixing plate 11 of the first connecting assembly 100 and the first housing 200.

[0239] like Figures 23 to 25 As shown, the second end 162 of the first elastic member 16 is fixedly connected to the first housing 200.

[0240] For example, the first housing 200 has a first protrusion 22. The second end 162 of the first elastic member 16 can be hooked onto the first protrusion 22 of the first housing 200.

[0241] like Figures 23 to 25As shown, the second end 1432 of the second elastic member 143 is fixedly connected to the first housing 200.

[0242] For example, the first housing 200 has a second protrusion 23. The second end 1432 of the second elastic member 143 can be hooked onto the second protrusion 23 of the first housing 200.

[0243] like Figures 23 to 25 As shown, the limiting member 17 is fixedly connected to the first housing 200.

[0244] For example, the first housing 200 is provided with a fastening hole. The limiting member 17 can be locked onto the first housing 200 by fasteners (screws, bolts, etc.).

[0245] For example, the first housing 200 is provided with a through hole 21. A portion of the limiting member 17 may be located within the through hole 21 and extend outside the first housing 200 without passing through the through hole 21.

[0246] like Figures 23 to 25 As shown, the torsion spring 18 is fixedly connected to the first housing 200.

[0247] For example, the first housing 200 is provided with a limiting post 25. The middle portion 182 of the torsion spring 18 can be locked onto the limiting post 25 of the first housing 200 by fasteners (screws, bolts, etc.).

[0248] For example, the first housing 200 is provided with a retaining groove 24. A portion of the second end 183 of the torsion spring 18 may be disposed within the retaining groove 24.

[0249] In one embodiment, when the area of ​​the fixing plate 11 is large enough, the aforementioned components can also be mounted on the fixing plate 11, and the fixing plate 11 can then be assembled into the first housing 200. This simplifies the assembly process between the first connecting component 100 and the first housing 200, making assembly simpler.

[0250] In one embodiment, when the fixing plate 11 is not provided, the components in the first connecting assembly 100 that are connected to the fixing plate 11 can be directly connected to the first housing 200.

[0251] Figure 26 yes Figure 25 The diagram shows a partial view of the display device 1000 when the communication system 1 is in a connected state.

[0252] like Figures 24 to 26 As shown, the first housing 200 is provided with a through hole 21. The through hole 21 connects the interior and exterior of the first housing 200.

[0253] Understandably, when the first part 125 of lever 12 overcomes the spring force of torsion spring 18, lever 12 can rotate clockwise. Figure 25 (Illustrated by the dotted line with an arrow) Rotation. At this time, the first rod portion 125 of the lever 12 can drive the pin 13 to slide relative to the fixed plate 11 in the negative direction of the Y-axis. At this time, a part of the pin 13 extends out of the first housing 200 through the through hole 21 to the outside of the first housing 200.

[0254] Understandably, when the pin 13 can slide relative to the fixed plate 11 in the positive direction of the X-axis under the tension of the first elastic member 16, the pin 13 can also slide relative to the first housing 200 and in the through hole 21 in the positive direction of the X-axis.

[0255] It is understandable that when the first part 125 of lever 12 is under the elastic force of torsion spring 18, it rotates counterclockwise ( Figure 26 (Illustrated by the dotted line with arrows) Rotation. At this time, the first rod portion 125 of the lever 12 can drive the pin 13 to slide relative to the fixed plate 11 in the positive direction of the Y-axis. At this time, a part of the pin 13 can extend into the interior of the first housing 200 through the through hole 21 of the first housing 200.

[0256] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the first connecting assembly 100 includes a limiting member 17. A portion of the limiting member 17 is disposed within a through hole 21 in the first housing 200 and occupies the through hole 21. At this time, when the first rod portion 125 of the lever 12 can drive the pin 13 to slide relative to the fixing plate 11 in the negative direction of the Y-axis, a portion of the pin 13 extends out through the limiting hole 171 of the limiting member 17 to the outside of the first housing 200. It should be noted that although a portion of the pin 13 extends out through the limiting hole 171 of the limiting member 17, the limiting member 17 is assembled within the through hole 21 of the first housing 200. Thus, a portion of the pin 13 is equivalent to extending out through the through hole 21 of the first housing 200 to the outside of the first housing 200. Of course, in other embodiments, when the first connecting assembly 100 does not include the limiting member 17, a portion of the pin 13 can directly extend out through the through hole 21 of the first housing 200 to the outside of the first housing 200. Of course, in other embodiments, when the first connecting assembly 100 includes a limiting member 17, a portion of the limiting member 17 is disposed within a through hole 21 in the first housing 200, but the limiting member 17 does not completely occupy the through hole 21. In this case, a portion of the pin 13 can first extend through the limiting hole 171 of the limiting member 17, and then through the through hole 21 of the first housing 200 to the outside of the first housing 200. However, for the whole, it is equivalent to a portion of the pin 13 extending through the through hole 21 of the first housing 200 to the outside of the first housing 200.

[0257] In this embodiment, when the pin 13 can slide relative to the fixed plate 11 in the positive direction of the X-axis under the tension of the first elastic member 16, the pin 13 can also slide relative to the limiting member 17 and in the limiting hole 171 in the positive direction of the X-axis.

[0258] In this embodiment, the first rod portion 125 of the lever 12 can drive the pin 13 to slide relative to the fixed plate 11 in the positive direction of the Y-axis. At this time, a portion of the pin 13 can extend into the interior of the first housing 200 through the limiting hole 171 of the limiting member 17.

[0259] In the following description, the example is that a portion of the pin 13 extends out of the limiting hole 171 of the limiting member 17 to the outside of the first housing 200.

[0260] The structure of the first connecting component 100 of the display device 1000 and the connection relationship between the first connecting component 100 and the first housing 200 have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. The structure of the second connecting component 300 of the input device 2000 and the connection relationship between the second connecting component 300 and the second housing 400 will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0261] Figure 27 yes Figure 2 A partially exploded view of the second connecting component 300 shown.

[0262] like Figure 27 As shown, the second connecting component 300 includes a locking member 31, a third magnetic group 32, a fourth magnetic group 33, and a second positioning member 34.

[0263] Figure 28 yes Figure 1 The diagram shows a partial structural schematic of the input device 2000. Figure 29 yes Figure 28 The enlarged view of part of the input device 2000 at point A2 is shown. Figure 30 yes Figure 29 The diagram shows a cross-sectional view of part of the input device 2000 at point B1-B1.

[0264] like Figures 27 to 30 As shown, the locking member 31 is fixedly connected to the second housing 400. For example, the locking member 31 can be fixedly connected to the second housing 400 by adhesive bonding or welding.

[0265] For example, a positioning post and positioning hole mating structure can also be provided between the locking member 31 and the second housing 400 to improve the stability of the connection between them. This application does not strictly limit the connection method between the locking member 31 and the second housing 400.

[0266] In other embodiments, the locking member 31 may also be integrally formed with the second housing 400. In other embodiments, the second connecting assembly 300 may not have the locking member 31.

[0267] like Figures 27 to 30 As shown, the locking member 31 is provided with a insertion space 311. The insertion space 311 can be a socket or a slot. In this embodiment, the insertion space 311 is described using a socket as an example. It can be understood that the socket can be a hole structure that penetrates the upper and lower surfaces of the locking member 31. The slot can be a groove structure that penetrates the upper surface of the locking member 31 but does not penetrate the lower surface. In addition, in other embodiments, when the second connecting assembly 300 does not have a locking member 31, the insertion space 311 can be directly provided on the second housing 400. The insertion space 311 can also be a socket or a slot. The insertion space 311 can form an opening on the outer surface of the second housing 400.

[0268] It should be noted that in this embodiment, by fixing the locking member 31 to the second housing 400, the locking member 31 can become part of the second housing 400. Therefore, the insertion space 311 of the locking member 31 can also serve as the insertion space of the second housing 400. In this case, the insertion space 311 is equivalent to forming an opening on the outer surface of the second housing 400. When the locking member 31 is provided with a slot, the slot can serve as the insertion space of the second housing 400. In the following description, the insertion space 311 of the locking member 31 will be used as an example of the insertion space of the second housing 400.

[0269] For example, the insertion space 311 includes a first space 3111 and a second space 3112. The first space 3111 communicates with the second space 3112. The second space 3112 is located on the periphery of the first space 3111. Thus, the wall of the second space 3112 can form a locking surface 3113. It should be noted that... Figure 30 The first space 3111 and the second space 3112 are schematically distinguished by dashed lines. Furthermore, Figure 30 The illustration shows a second space 3112 arranged around a first space 3111. In other embodiments, the second space 3112 may be located on one side of the first space 3111.

[0270] like Figures 27 to 30 As shown, the third magnetic assembly 32 is fixedly connected to the second housing 400.

[0271] For example, the second housing 400 is provided with a first receiving groove 41. The third magnetic assembly 32 can be accommodated in the first receiving groove 41.

[0272] For example, the structure of the third magnetic group 32 can be referenced to the second magnetic group 15b (see [link]). Figure 21 and Figure 22 Related descriptions.

[0273] like Figures 27 to 30 As shown, the fourth magnetic group 33 is fixedly connected to the second housing 400.

[0274] For example, the second housing 400 is provided with a second receiving groove 42. The fourth magnetic assembly 33 can be accommodated in the second receiving groove 42.

[0275] For example, the structure of the fourth magnetic group 33 can be referenced to the first magnetic group 15a (see [link]). Figure 21 and Figure 22 Related descriptions.

[0276] Figure 31a yes Figure 2 The diagram shows the structure of the first connection component 100 and the second connection component 300 when the communication system 1 is in a connected state. Figure 31b yes Figure 2 The diagram shows the structure of the first connection component 100 and the second connection component 300 when the communication system 1 is in a separated state.

[0277] like Figure 31a As shown, when the first magnetic group 15a and the third magnetic group 32 approach each other, and the second magnetic group 15b and the fourth magnetic group 33 approach each other, an attractive force can be generated between the first magnetic group 15a and the third magnetic group 32, and a repulsive force can be generated between the second magnetic group 15b and the fourth magnetic group 33. It can be understood that the arrangement of the magnetic elements in the first magnetic group 15a and the third magnetic group 32 can create an attractive force between them, and a repulsive force between them.

[0278] like Figure 31b As shown, when the first magnetic group 15a and the third magnetic group 32 move away from each other, the second magnetic group 15b and the fourth magnetic group 33 move away from each other. The attractive force between the first magnetic group 15a and the third magnetic group 32 decreases, and the repulsive force between the second magnetic group 15b and the fourth magnetic group 33 decreases.

[0279] The connection process between the display device 1000 and the input device 2000 is described in detail below with reference to the above figures.

[0280] like Figure 3 As shown, when a user needs to use communication system 1 which is in a connected state, that is, communication system 1 from... Figure 1 The intended separation state transitions to Figure 3In the indicated connection configuration, the display device 1000 can be first positioned close to the input device 2000, and then the display device 1000 and input device 2000 can be connected. It should be noted that "closer" to the input device 2000 can mean either the input device 2000 remains stationary while the display device 1000 is moved, or the display device 1000 remains stationary while the input device 2000 is moved, or both the display device 1000 and input device 2000 can be moved simultaneously. The following description uses the example of keeping the input device 2000 stationary while moving the display device 1000.

[0281] like Figure 31a and Figure 31b As shown, when the display device 1000 approaches the input device 2000, the limiting hole 171 of the limiting member 17 of the first connecting component 100 can be positioned opposite to the insertion space 311 of the locking member 31 of the second connecting component 300. For example, the user can directly observe the position of the limiting hole 171 of the limiting member 17 and the insertion space 311 of the locking member 31, and then position the limiting hole 171 of the limiting member 17 opposite to the insertion space 311 of the locking member 31. In this way, the first magnetic group 15a of the first connecting component 100 can approach the third magnetic group 32 of the second connecting component 300, and the second magnetic group 15b of the first connecting component 100 can approach the fourth magnetic group 33 of the second connecting component 300. An attractive force can be generated between the first magnetic group 15a and the third magnetic group 32, and the magnitude of the attractive force increases as the distance between them decreases. Similarly, a repulsive force can be generated between the second magnetic group 15b and the fourth magnetic group 33, and the magnitude of the repulsive force increases as the distance between them decreases.

[0282] like Figure 31a and Figure 31b As shown, when an attractive force is generated between the first magnetic group 15a and the third magnetic group 32, and a repulsive force is generated between the second magnetic group 15b and the fourth magnetic group 33, this attractive and repulsive force can cause the second rod portion 126 of the lever 12 to experience a force in the positive direction along the Y-axis and the first rod portion 125 to experience a force in the negative direction along the Y-axis. When the attractive force between the first magnetic group 15a and the third magnetic group 32 is sufficiently large, and the repulsive force between the second magnetic group 15b and the fourth magnetic group 33 is sufficiently large, the first rod portion 125 of the lever 12 can overcome the elastic force of the torsion spring 18, thereby allowing the lever 12 to rotate clockwise (…). Figure 31a (Illustrated by the dotted line with an arrow) Rotation. At this time, the first rod portion 125 of lever 12 can drive the pin 13 to slide relative to the fixed plate 11 in the negative direction of the Y-axis. At this time, a part of the pin 13 extends out of the limiting member 17 through the limiting hole 171 of the limiting member 17 and extends into the insertion space 311 of the locking member 31. For the kinematic relationship between lever 12 and pin 13, please refer to... Figure 11a , Figure 11b and Figure 8 The relevant descriptions are omitted here.

[0283] Figure 32 yes Figure 31a The diagram shows a partial structural representation of the first connecting component 100 and the second connecting component 300. For example, Figure 32 The diagram illustrates the assembly between the pin 13 and the locking component 31. Figure 33 yes Figure 32 The diagram shows a cross-sectional view of the first connecting component 100 and the second connecting component 300 at point B2-B2.

[0284] like Figure 32 and Figure 33 As shown, when a portion of the pin 13 extends into the insertion space 311 of the locking member 31, the portion of the pin 13 can first be inserted into the first space 3111 of the insertion space 311 along the negative Y-axis direction, and then locked into the second space 3112 of the insertion space 311 along the positive X-axis direction. At this time, a portion of the pin 13 can be locked onto the locking surface 3113 of the insertion space 311 of the locking member 31. In this way, the display device 1000 can be stably connected to the input device 2000. In other words, the display device 1000 is not easily detached from the input device 2000.

[0285] It is understandable that the process of a portion of the pin 13 being inserted into the first space 3111 of the insertion space 311 along the negative Y-axis can be achieved by the lever 12 driving the pin 13 to slide along the negative Y-axis, as mentioned above. The process of a portion of the pin 13 being inserted into the second space 3112 of the insertion space 311 along the positive X-axis will be discussed below. Figure 31a and Figure 31b Describe it.

[0286] Combination Figure 31a and Figure 31b As shown, when a portion of the pin 13 is inserted into the first space 3111 of the insertion space 311 along the negative Y-axis, the pin 13 can slide relative to the fixed plate 11 along the positive X-axis under the tension of the first elastic member 16. At this time, a portion of the pin 13 is inserted into the second space 3112 of the insertion space 311 along the positive X-axis. For details regarding the connection relationship and movement of the first elastic member 16, the pin 13, and the fixed plate 11, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 10 , Figure 11a and Figure 11b The relevant descriptions are omitted here.

[0287] In other embodiments, the insertion space 311 may not include the second space 3112. In this case, a portion of the pin 13 may first be inserted into the first space 3111 of the insertion space 311 along the negative direction of the Y-axis.

[0288] The following section, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, details the unlocking process of the display device 1000 and the input device 2000.

[0289] like Figure 1 As shown, when a user needs to use communication system 1 in a disconnected state, that is, communication system 1 is... Figure 3 The connection state shown has been changed to Figure 1 When the separation state is as shown, the communication system 1 can be unlocked first, and then the display device 1000 and the input device 2000 can be separated.

[0290] The following section describes the process of unlocking communication system 1. Details are as follows:

[0291] like Figure 31a and Figure 31b As shown, the user can input a power-on command on the display device 1000 or the input device 2000. At this time, the SMA cable (i.e., the force-applying element 141) is energized, generating a contraction force. The SMA cable applies a force along the negative X-axis to the slider 142. The SMA cable can cause the slider 142 to slide relative to the fixed plate 11 along the negative X-axis. The slider 142 can also cause the pin 13 to slide along the negative X-axis. At this time, combined with... Figure 32 and Figure 33 As shown, a portion of the pin 13 can slide out from the second space 3112 of the insertion space 311 along the negative direction of the X-axis.

[0292] Additionally, the user can input a power-off command on the display device 1000 or the input device 2000. At this time, the SMA line is de-energized, and the second elastic element 143 can pull the slider 142 to slide along the positive X-axis, causing the slider 142 to return to its original position. For details regarding the connection relationships and movement patterns of the force-applying element 141, slider 142, pin 13, fixing plate 11, and second elastic element 143, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 16 , Figure 17a and Figure 17b The relevant descriptions are omitted here.

[0293] It is understood that inputting a power-on command or a power-off command on the display device 1000 or input device 2000 can be achieved in the following ways. In one embodiment, a mechanical button is provided on the display device 1000 or input device 2000. When the user opens the mechanical button, power can be supplied to the SMA line. When the user closes the mechanical button, power is not supplied to the SMA line, and the SMA line is de-energized. In one embodiment, a virtual button is provided on the UI interface of the display device 1000 or input device 2000. When the user triggers the virtual button to open, power can be supplied to the SMA line. When the user triggers the virtual button to close, power is not supplied to the SMA line, and the SMA line is de-energized.

[0294] The process of unlocking communication system 1 has been described above. The process of separating the display device 1000 from the input device 2000 will be described below. Details are as follows:

[0295] like Figure 32 and Figure 33 As shown, when a portion of the pin 13 can slide out from the second space 3112 of the insertion space 311 along the negative X-axis, as... Figure 31a and Figure 31b As shown, in the X-axis direction, the pin 13 of the first connecting assembly 100 and the locking member 31 of the second connecting assembly 300 are no longer engaged. Thus, the display device 1000 can be pulled out of the input device 2000. During the process of pulling the display device 1000 from the input device 2000, the display device 1000 moves away from the input device 2000. At this time, the first magnetic group 15a and the third magnetic group 32 move away from each other, and the attractive force between the first magnetic group 15a and the third magnetic group 32 decreases. The second magnetic group 15b and the fourth magnetic group 33 move away from each other, and the repulsive force between the second magnetic group 15b and the fourth magnetic group 33 decreases. The second rod portion 126 of the lever 12 experiences a decrease in force along the positive Y-axis, and the first rod portion 125 experiences a decrease in force along the negative Y-axis. Under the elastic force of the torsion spring 18, the first rod portion 125 of the lever 12 can rotate counterclockwise (…). Figure 31b (Illustrated by the dotted line with an arrow) Rotation. At this time, the first rod portion 125 of the lever 12 can drive the pin 13 to slide in the positive direction of the Y-axis. A portion of the pin 13 slides out from the insertion space 311 of the locking member 31 and extends into the interior of the first housing 200 through the limiting hole 171 of the limiting member 17. In other embodiments, a portion of the pin 13 extends into the interior of the first housing 200, and a portion is located in the limiting hole 171 of the limiting member 17. For the process of the first rod portion 125 of the lever 12 driving the pin 13 to slide in the positive direction of the Y-axis, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 21 and Figure 22 The relevant descriptions will not be repeated here.

[0296] For example, after the SMA line (i.e., the force-applying element 141) is energized, the energization time of the SMA line can be maintained for a period of time, such as 6 seconds, 7 seconds, 8 seconds, 9 seconds, or 10 seconds. This ensures that the user has sufficient time to unplug the display device 1000 from the input device 2000.

[0297] It is understood that by placing the pin 13 inside the first housing 200, this embodiment can leave enough space inside the second housing 400 of the input device 2000. This space can be used to set up a rotating mechanism, so that when the display device 1000 is connected to the input device 2000, the display device 1000 can also rotate relative to the input device 2000 through the rotating mechanism to adjust the angle of the display device 1000 relative to the input device 2000.

[0298] In other embodiments, the first connecting assembly 100 may also exclude the fixing plate 11, lever 12, return mechanism 14, first magnetic group 15a, second magnetic group 15b, first elastic element 16, limiting element 17, and torsion spring 18, etc. The first connecting assembly 100 includes a driving mechanism. The driving mechanism can directly drive a portion of the pin 13 to extend through the through hole 21 of the first housing 200 and insert into the insertion space 311 of the second housing 400.

[0299] In other embodiments, the first connecting assembly 100 may not include the fixing plate 11, lever 12, return mechanism 14, first magnetic group 15a, second magnetic group 15b, first elastic element 16, limiting element 17, and torsion spring 18. The first connecting assembly 100 may only include a pin 13. The user can manually drive a portion of the pin 13 to extend through the through hole 21 of the first housing 200 and insert it into the insertion space 311 of the second housing 400.

[0300] like Figure 31a and Figure 31b As shown, the first connecting assembly 100 includes a first positioning member 19. The first positioning member 19 can be fixed to the first housing 200.

[0301] In one embodiment, the first positioning element 19 may be a magnetic element. The first positioning element 19 may be a single magnetic element or a magnetic group composed of multiple magnetic elements. In this embodiment, the first positioning element 19 is described as a magnetic group. Thus, in this embodiment, the first positioning element 19 may also be referred to as the fifth magnetic group.

[0302] Alternatively, the second positioning element 34 can be a magnetic element. The second positioning element 34 can be a single magnetic element or a magnetic group composed of multiple magnetic elements. In this embodiment, the second positioning element 34 is described as a magnetic group. Thus, in this embodiment, the second positioning element 34 can also be referred to as the sixth magnetic group.

[0303] In this embodiment, the arrangement of the magnetic elements in the fifth magnetic group 19 can be referenced to the arrangement of the magnetic elements in the first magnetic group 15a. Furthermore, the number of magnetic elements in the fifth magnetic group 19 can be greater than the number of magnetic elements in the first magnetic group 15a.

[0304] In this embodiment, the arrangement of the magnetic elements in the sixth magnetic group 34 can be referenced to the arrangement of the magnetic elements in the third magnetic group 32. Furthermore, the number of magnetic elements in the sixth magnetic group 34 can be greater than the number of magnetic elements in the third magnetic group 32.

[0305] Understandably, when the display device 1000 approaches the input device 2000, the attraction between the fifth and sixth magnetic groups causes the through hole 21 of the first housing 200 to be positioned opposite the opening of the insertion space 311 of the second housing 400. This allows the pin 13 to be accurately inserted into the insertion space 311 of the second housing 400 after a portion of it protrudes through the limiting hole 171 of the limiting member 17.

[0306] In other embodiments, the first positioning member 19 and the second positioning member 34 may also be a pogo pin connector, etc.

[0307] The preceding text, with reference to the accompanying drawings, specifically described one structure of the first connecting component 100 and the second connecting component 300. The following text, with reference to the accompanying drawings, specifically described another structure of the second connecting component 500 and the first connecting component 600. The embodiments described below are the same as those described above, and the same technical content will not be repeated.

[0308] Figure 34 yes Figure 2 The diagram shows a structural schematic of the second connecting component in another embodiment. Figure 35 yes Figure 34 This is a partially exploded view of the second connection component. In this embodiment, the second connection component 500 located on the right side of the input device 2000 will be described as an example.

[0309] like Figure 34 and Figure 35 As shown, the second connecting assembly 500 includes a fixing plate 51, a slider 52, a pin 13, an elastic element 54, and a second magnetic assembly 55.

[0310] For ease of description, exemplarily, the length direction of the fixing plate 51 is defined as the X-axis direction, the width direction of the fixing plate 51 as the Y-axis direction, and the thickness direction of the fixing plate 51 as the Z-axis direction. In this embodiment, the positive direction of the Y-axis is designated as the first direction, the positive direction of the X-axis as the second direction, the negative direction of the X-axis as the third direction, and the negative direction of the Y-axis as the fourth direction.

[0311] Thus, the first direction and the second direction are different. It is understandable that the coordinate system of communication system 1 can also be flexibly set according to specific needs. In this case, the first direction and the second direction can be flexibly set according to specific needs.

[0312] like Figure 35 As shown, the fixing plate 51 includes a main body 511 and an extension 512.

[0313] It is understood that the fixing plate 51 can be a single structural component, meaning that the main body 511 and the extension 512 are integrally formed. The fixing plate 51 can also be a spliced ​​structural component. For example, the main body 511 and the extension 512 can be formed into a single structural component through splicing (e.g., mortise and tenon joints) or fixing (e.g., welding, bonding, etc.). This application does not specifically limit the method.

[0314] For example, the main body 511 includes a first surface 5111 and a second surface 5112 disposed opposite to each other. The extension 512 connects to the first surface 5111 of the main body 511.

[0315] For example, the main body 511 is provided with a sliding space 5113. The opening of the sliding space 5113 is located on the first surface 5111 and the second surface 5112 of the main body 511. The extending direction of the sliding space 5113 can be the X-axis direction.

[0316] For example, the extension 512 includes a first portion 5121 and a second portion 5122. The first portion 5121 is connected between the main body 511 and the second portion 5122. The second portion 5122 is disposed opposite to the main body 511. The extension 512 and the main body 511 can enclose a space that can be used for movement.

[0317] For example, the main body 511 is further provided with a protrusion 5114. The protrusion 5114 is connected to the first surface 5111 of the main body 511. In other embodiments, the protrusion 5114 may also be integrally formed with the main body 511.

[0318] Figure 36 yes Figure 35 The diagram shows the slider 52 at different angles.

[0319] like Figure 35 and Figure 36As shown, the slider 52 includes a base plate 521, a first protrusion 522, a second protrusion 523, and a third protrusion 524.

[0320] It is understood that the slider 52 can be a single structural component, meaning that the base plate 521, the first protrusion 522, the second protrusion 523, and the third protrusion 524 are integrally formed. The slider 52 can also be a spliced ​​structural component. For example, the base plate 521, the first protrusion 522, the second protrusion 523, and the third protrusion 524 can be formed into a single structural component through splicing (e.g., mortise and tenon joints) or fixing (e.g., welding, bonding, etc.). This application does not specifically limit the method.

[0321] For example, the base plate 521 includes a first surface 5211 and a second surface 5212 disposed opposite to each other. A first protrusion 522 and a second protrusion 523 are connected to the first surface 5211 of the base plate 521 at intervals.

[0322] For example, the first protrusion 522 has a first side surface 5221. The first side surface 5221 faces the second protrusion 523. The first side surface 5221 is an inclined surface. The first side surface 5221 may also be referred to as a first inclined surface. It is understood that the inclined surface may be that the first side surface 5221 is inclined relative to the vertical surface (i.e., the YZ plane).

[0323] For example, the second protrusion 523 has a second side surface 5231. The second side surface 5231 faces the first protrusion 522 and is disposed opposite to the first side surface 5221 of the first protrusion 522. The second side surface 5231 is an inclined surface. The second side surface 5231 can also be referred to as a second inclined surface. The inclined surface can be that the second side surface 5231 is inclined relative to the vertical surface (i.e., the YZ plane).

[0324] For example, the first side 5221 of the first protrusion 522 and the second side 5231 of the second protrusion 523 can be parallel.

[0325] For example, the third protrusion 524 is connected to the second surface 5212 of the base plate 521. At this time, the third protrusion 524 is disposed opposite to the first protrusion 522 and the second protrusion 523. The third protrusion 524 may be in the shape of a strip.

[0326] Figure 37 yes Figure 34 The diagram shows a partial structural view of the second connecting component 500 from another angle. Exemplarily, Figure 37 The diagram illustrates the assembly between the fixed plate 51 and the slider 52. Figure 38 yes Figure 34 A partial structural schematic diagram of the second connecting component 500 is shown.

[0327] like Figures 35 to 38As shown, slider 52 is slidably connected to fixed plate 51.

[0328] For example, the second surface 5212 of the base plate 521 of the slider 52 is disposed opposite to the first surface 5111 of the main body portion 511 of the fixing plate 51. The third protrusion 524 of the slider 52 can be located within the sliding space 5113 of the fixing plate 51. The third protrusion 524 can slide within the sliding space 5113. In this embodiment, the slider 52 can slide relative to the fixing plate 51 along the X-axis direction.

[0329] Figure 39 yes Figure 34 A partial structural schematic diagram of the second connecting component 500 is shown. Exemplarily, Figure 39 A schematic diagram illustrating the assembly of the fixed plate 51, slider 52, pin 13 and elastic element 54 is provided.

[0330] like Figure 39 As shown, pin 13 is slidably connected to slider 52. Pin 13 is also slidably connected to the second part 5122 of extension 512 of fixing plate 51.

[0331] For example, the latch 13 has a third side 531 and a fourth side 532 disposed opposite to each other. Both the third side 531 and the fourth side 532 are inclined surfaces. Both the third side 531 and the fourth side 532 can be inclined relative to a vertical plane (i.e., the YZ plane). The third side 531 can also be referred to as the third inclined surface. The fourth side 532 can also be referred to as the fourth inclined surface. It should be noted that... Figure 35 The third side 531 and the fourth side 532 are also shown from different angles.

[0332] like Figure 39 As shown, the third side 531 faces the first side 5221 of the slider 52. The fourth side 532 faces the second side 5231 of the slider 52. At this time, the third side 531 and the fourth side 532 are located between the first side 5221 and the second side 5231 of the slider 52.

[0333] like Figure 39 As shown, a portion of the pin 13 may be located within the space enclosed by the main body 511 and the extension 512 of the fixing plate 51.

[0334] For example, the upper surface of the pin 13 can contact the second portion 5122 of the extension 512 of the fixing plate 51. The lower surface of the pin 13 can contact the base plate 521 of the slider 52. In this way, the fixing plate 51 and the slider 52 can restrict the movement of the pin 13 along the Z-axis direction. In addition, the pin 13 may be provided with a groove 534. Figure 35The groove 534 is illustrated from different angles. The opening of the groove 534 is located on the upper surface of the pin 13. A portion of the second part 5122 of the extension 512 of the fixing plate 51 can be disposed within the groove 534. In the X-axis direction, the second part 5122 of the extension 512 contacts the groove wall of the groove 534. At this time, the movement of the pin 13 in the X-axis direction can be restricted by the cooperation between the second part 5122 of the extension 512 and the groove 534.

[0335] Understandably, when slider 52 is subjected to a driving force in the negative X-axis direction, slider 52 can move relative to fixed plate 51 in the negative X-axis direction. At this time, the first side surface 5221 of slider 52 contacts the third side surface 531 of pin 13. Slider 52 can apply a force to pin 13 in the negative X-axis direction. Furthermore, since both the first side surface 5221 and the third side surface 531 are inclined surfaces, the movement of pin 13 in the X-axis direction is restricted, and the movement of pin 13 in the Z-axis direction is restricted, slider 52 can push pin 13 to slide in the positive Y-axis direction.

[0336] like Figure 39 As shown, the elastic element 54 connects the slider 52 and the fixed plate 51.

[0337] For example, the elastic element 54 may be a spring. The elastic element 54 includes a first end 541 and a second end 542. The first end 541 of the elastic element 54 may be fixedly connected to the first protrusion 522 of the slider 52. The second end 542 of the elastic element 54 may be fixedly connected to the protrusion 5114 of the fixing plate 51. For example, the first protrusion 522 of the slider 52 is provided with a groove, and the first end 541 of the elastic element 54 may hook into the groove of the first protrusion 522. The second end 542 of the elastic element 54 may hook into the protrusion 5114 of the fixing plate 51.

[0338] Understandably, when slider 52 is subjected to a driving force in the negative X-axis direction, slider 52 slides relative to fixed plate 51 in the negative X-axis direction, and elastic element 54 is in a stretched state. At this time, when slider 52 is no longer subjected to a driving force in the negative X-axis direction, since elastic element 54 is in a stretched state, elastic element 54 can apply a spring force to slider 52 in the positive X-axis direction, and slider 52 moves relative to fixed plate 51 in the positive X-axis direction under the spring force of elastic element 54. At this time, the second side surface 5231 of slider 52 contacts the fourth side surface 532 of pin 13. Slider 52 can apply a force to pin 13 in the positive X-axis direction. Since both the second side surface 5231 and the fourth side surface 532 are inclined surfaces, the movement of pin 13 in the X-axis direction is restricted, and the movement of pin 13 in the Z-axis direction is restricted, slider 52 can push pin 13 to slide in the negative Y-axis direction.

[0339] In other embodiments, the second connecting assembly 500 may not employ the elastic element 54. For example, the elastic element 54 can be replaced with an electromagnet or a motor. The slider 52 is driven to slide relative to the fixed plate 51 by the electromagnet or electrodes.

[0340] In other embodiments, a reversing mechanism may be provided between the slider 52 and the pin 13, thereby converting the driving force applied to the slider along the X-axis direction into a driving force along the Y-axis direction, and then using the driving force in the Y-axis direction to drive the pin 13 to move along the Y-axis direction.

[0341] The above text describes the motion relationship between the slider 52 and the pin 13 of the second connecting component 500. The following text, in conjunction with the relevant figures, describes a method for driving the slider 52 to slide relative to the fixed plate 51.

[0342] like Figure 34 As shown, the second magnetic assembly 55 is fixed on the slider 52.

[0343] For example, the second magnetic assembly 55 can be fixed to the first surface 5211 of the slider 52 by means of adhesive bonding or welding.

[0344] For example, the second magnetic group 55 may be a magnetic group consisting of multiple magnetic elements. In other embodiments, the second magnetic group 55 may also be replaced by a single magnetic element.

[0345] Figure 40 yes Figure 1 The diagram shows a partial structural schematic of the input device 2000. Exemplarily, Figure 40 This diagram illustrates the assembly between the second connecting component 500 and the second housing 400. Figure 41 yes Figure 40 The enlarged view of part of the input device 2000 shown at point A3.

[0346] like Figure 40 and Figure 41 As shown, the second housing 400 is provided with a through hole 401. The through hole 401 connects the interior and exterior of the second housing 400.

[0347] The second connecting component 500 is disposed on the second housing 400. Exemplarily, the fixing plate 51 of the second connecting component 500 is fixedly connected to the second housing 400. For example, the fixing plate 51 is fixedly connected to the second housing 400 by an adhesive or welding process. It is understood that the slider 52, pin 13, elastic element 54, and second magnetic assembly 55 of the second connecting component 500 can be assembled with the fixing plate 51 first. Then, the fixing plate 51 is assembled with the second housing 400. Thus, compared to the scheme of sequentially assembling the second connecting component 500 into the second housing 400, the assembly process of this embodiment is simpler.

[0348] In other embodiments, the fixing plate 51 may also be integrally formed with the second housing 400.

[0349] In other embodiments, when the second connecting assembly 500 does not include the fixing plate 51, other components of the second connecting assembly 500 can be directly connected and cooperated with the second housing 400.

[0350] like Figure 40 and Figure 41 As shown, when the communication system 1 is in a disconnected state, the entire second connection component 500 can be located inside the second housing 400. This results in better aesthetic consistency for the input device 2000, which is more visually appealing. Furthermore, when the input device 2000 is subjected to external impact, the pin 13 is less likely to deform or be damaged by direct impact. The lifespan of the second connection component 500 is also longer. It should be noted that because the entire second connection component 500 can be located inside the second housing 400, Figure 40 and Figure 41 The second connecting component 500 is indicated by a dashed line.

[0351] like Figure 40 and Figure 41 As shown, when the slider 52 pushes the pin 13 to slide in the positive direction of the Y-axis, a portion of the pin 13 can extend out of the second housing 400 through the through hole 401. When the slider 52 pushes the pin 13 to slide in the negative direction of the Y-axis, a portion of the pin 13 can extend into the second housing 400 through the through hole 401.

[0352] Figure 42 yes Figure 2 The diagram shows a structural schematic of the first connecting component in another embodiment. Figure 43 yes Figure 42 A partially exploded view of the first connecting component 600 shown.

[0353] like Figure 42 and Figure 43 As shown, the first connecting assembly 600 includes a fixing plate 61, a latch 62, a force-applying component 63, a first elastic component 64, a spring door 65, and a first magnetic assembly 66.

[0354] Figure 44 yes Figure 43 The diagram shows the structure of the fixing plate 61 at different angles.

[0355] like Figure 43 and Figure 44As shown, the fixing plate 61 includes a main body 611, a locking block 612, a first strip protrusion 613, a second strip protrusion 614, a first fixing block 615, a second fixing block 616, and a third fixing block 617.

[0356] It is understood that the fixing plate 61 can be a single structural component, meaning that the main body 611, the locking block 612, the first strip protrusion 613, the second strip protrusion 614, the first fixing block 615, the second fixing block 616, and the third fixing block 617 are integrally formed structural components. The fixing plate 61 can also be a spliced ​​structural component. For example, the main body 611, the locking block 612, the first strip protrusion 613, the second strip protrusion 614, the first fixing block 615, the second fixing block 616, and the third fixing block 617 can be formed into a single structural component through splicing (e.g., mortise and tenon joints) or fixing (e.g., welding, bonding, etc.). This application does not specifically limit the method of assembly.

[0357] For example, the main body 611 includes a first surface 6111 and a second surface 6112 disposed opposite to each other.

[0358] For example, the locking block 612 can be connected to the first surface 6111 of the main body 611. In other embodiments, the locking block 612 can also be connected to the peripheral surface of the main body 611.

[0359] The locking block 612 has a socket 6121. Furthermore, the locking block 612 also has a clearance groove 6122. The clearance groove 6122 communicates with the socket 6121.

[0360] For example, the first strip-shaped protrusion 613 and the second strip-shaped protrusion 614 may be connected to the first surface 6111 at intervals. The first strip-shaped protrusion 613 is located on one side of the locking block 612 and may face the relief groove 6122. The second strip-shaped protrusion 614 may be located on one side of the locking block 612 and face the insertion hole 6121.

[0361] For example, the extending direction of the first strip protrusion 613 is set at an angle to the extending direction of the second strip protrusion 614. For instance, the first strip protrusion 613 may extend along the X-axis direction, and the second strip protrusion 614 may extend along the Y-axis direction. In this case, the angle between the extending directions of the first strip protrusion 613 and the extending directions of the second strip protrusion 614 is 90°.

[0362] For example, the first fixing block 615, the second fixing block 616, and the third fixing block 617 can be connected to the first surface 6111 at intervals. The first fixing block 615 can be located on the side of the first strip protrusion 613 away from the locking block 612, that is, the first strip protrusion 613 can be located between the locking block 612 and the first fixing block 615. The second fixing block 616 can be located on the side of the locking block 612 away from the first strip protrusion 613, that is, the locking block 612 can be located between the first strip protrusion 613 and the second fixing block 616. The third fixing block 617 can be located on the side of the second strip protrusion 614 away from the locking block 612, that is, the second strip protrusion 614 can be located between the locking block 612 and the third fixing block 617.

[0363] Figure 45 yes Figure 42 The diagram shows a partial structure of the first connecting component 600 at different angles. For example, Figure 45 The diagram illustrates the assembly of the latch 62 and the elastic element 64 at different angles.

[0364] like Figure 43 and Figure 45 As shown, the latch 62 has a first surface 621 and a second surface 622 facing away from each other, as well as a first side surface 623 and a second side surface 624 facing away from each other. The first side surface 623 and the second side surface 624 are connected between the first surface 621 and the second surface 622.

[0365] For example, the latch 62 is provided with a fixing groove 625. The opening of the fixing groove 625 is located on the first surface 621 and the second side surface 624 of the main body portion 611. In addition, a fixing post 6251 is provided in the fixing groove 625.

[0366] like Figure 45 As shown, the latch 62 has a first groove 626 and a second groove 627.

[0367] For example, the opening of the first groove 626 is located on the second side 622, the first side 623 and the second side 624 of the latch 62.

[0368] For example, the opening of the second groove 627 is located on the second side 622 and the second side 624 of the latch 62.

[0369] Figure 46 yes Figure 42 A partially exploded view of the first connecting component 600 shown. Exemplarily, Figure 46 The diagram illustrates the assembly of the fixing plate 61, the latch 62, the force-applying component 63, and the elastic component 64.

[0370] like Figures 44 to 46 As shown, the latch 62 is slidably connected to the fixing plate 61.

[0371] For example, the first strip-shaped protrusion 613 of the fixing plate 61 may be located within the first groove 626 of the latch 62. Specifically, the groove wall of the first groove 626 of the latch 62 may slide relative to the first strip-shaped protrusion 613 of the fixing plate 61.

[0372] Understandably, when the latch 62 is subjected to a driving force, the latch 62 can slide relative to the fixed plate 61. For example, since the first strip-shaped protrusion 613 extends in the X-axis direction, the sliding direction of the latch 62 can also be in the X-axis direction. Furthermore, when the latch 62 slides relative to the fixed plate 61 in the X-axis direction, the latch 62 can move closer to or further away from the locking block 612. Additionally, the latch tongue of the latch 62 can extend into the insertion hole 6121 via the clearance groove 6122, or extend out of the insertion hole 6121 via the clearance groove 6122.

[0373] like Figures 44 to 46 As shown, the first elastic element 64 connects the fixing plate 61 and the latch 62.

[0374] For example, the first elastic element 64 may be a spring. In other embodiments, the first elastic element 64 may also be a sheet, rubber, or a torsion spring, etc.

[0375] Exemplarily, the first connecting assembly 600 further includes a fastener 642. The fastener 642 can be a rivet, screw, etc. One end of the fastener 642 is fixedly connected to the first fixing block 615 of the fixing plate 61. The other end of the fastener 642 faces the latch 62. A first elastic member 64 is sleeved on the fastener 642. One end of the first elastic member 64 can abut against the first fixing block 615 of the fixing plate 61, and the other end abuts against the latch 62.

[0376] For example, a portion of the first elastic member 64 may be located within the second groove 627 of the latch 62. In this case, one end of the first elastic member 64 may abut against the groove wall of the second groove 627. Thus, in the X-axis direction, the first elastic member 64 and the latch 62 have an overlapping area, which can reduce the length of the first connecting assembly 600 in the X-axis direction. In addition, in the Z-axis direction, the first elastic member 64 and the latch 62 have an overlapping area, which can reduce the thickness of the first connecting assembly 600 in the Z-axis direction.

[0377] In one embodiment, the first elastic member 64 is in a compressed state when the communication system 1 is in a disconnected state. At this time, when the communication system 1 is disconnected, the first elastic member 64 can apply a spring force to the latch 62. Under the spring force of the first elastic member 64, the latch 62 can extend into the insertion hole 6121 through the clearance groove 6122.

[0378] In other embodiments, the first elastic element 64 may also be in a natural state when the communication system 1 is in a disconnected state.

[0379] like Figure 46 As shown, a portion of the force-applying component 63 is connected to the latch 62.

[0380] For example, the force-applying element 63 can be a shape memory alloy (SMA) wire, also known as a memory metal wire.

[0381] In one embodiment, the force-applying member 63 includes a first end 631, a middle portion 632, and a second end 633. The middle portion 632 of the force-applying member 63 is fixedly connected to a latch 62. One of the first end 631 and the second end 633 of the force-applying member 63 is electrically connected to the positive terminal of a power source, and the other is electrically connected to the negative terminal of the power source. The force-applying member 63 and the power source can form a current loop.

[0382] For example, a portion of the force-applying member 63 may be located within the fixing groove 625 of the latch 62. The middle portion 632 of the force-applying member 63 may be fixedly connected to the fixing post 6251 within the fixing groove 625.

[0383] In one embodiment, the SMA line (i.e., the force-applying element 63) is not energized when the communication system 1 is disconnected. In this case, the SMA line does not apply force to the latch 62.

[0384] Understandably, when communication system 1 transitions from a disconnected state to a connected state, the SMA line is energized, generating a contraction force. The SMA line can exert a force on the latch 62 in the negative X-axis direction. At this time, the SMA line can cause the latch 62 to slide relative to the fixing plate 61 in the negative X-axis direction. The latch 62 can move away from the insertion hole 6121 of the locking block 612. Furthermore, during the sliding of the latch 62 in the negative X-axis direction, the latch 62 can compress the first elastic element 64, keeping it in a compressed state. Thus, when the SMA line is de-energized, its length can approximately return to its original length. At this time, the SMA line does not apply tension to the latch 62. Under the elastic force of the first elastic element 64, the latch 62 slides relative to the fixing plate 61 in the positive X-axis direction, and the latch tongue of the latch 62 can approach the insertion hole 6121 of the locking block 612.

[0385] Figure 47 yes Figure 43 The diagram shows the structure of the spring door 65 at different angles. Figure 48 yes Figure 42 The diagram shows the first connecting component 600 at different angles.

[0386] like Figure 47 As shown, the spring door 65 includes a door panel 651 and a second elastic member 652.

[0387] like Figure 47and Figure 48 As shown, the door panel 651 is slidably connected to the fixing plate 61.

[0388] For example, the door panel 651 is provided with a first groove 6511. The fixing plate 61 has a second strip-shaped protrusion 614 (see [reference]). Figure 46 The groove wall of the first groove 6511 of the spring door 65 can be located within the first groove 6511 of the spring door 65. In this way, when the door panel 651 slides relative to the fixed plate 61, the groove wall of the first groove 6511 of the door panel 651 can slide relative to the second strip protrusion 614 of the fixed plate 61.

[0389] Understandably, when the door panel 651 is subjected to a driving force, the door panel 651 can slide relative to the fixed plate 61. For example, since the second strip-shaped protrusion 614 extends in the Y-axis direction, the sliding direction of the door panel 651 relative to the fixed plate 61 is also in the Y-axis direction. Furthermore, when the door panel 651 can slide relative to the fixed plate 61, the door panel 651 can move closer to or further away from the locking block 612. Additionally, a portion of the door panel 651 can extend into or out of the insertion hole 6121.

[0390] like Figure 47 and Figure 48 As shown, the second elastic element 652 can be a spring. There can be two second elastic elements 652. In other embodiments, the second elastic element 652 can also be a sheet, rubber, or a torsion spring, etc. The number of second elastic elements 652 is not limited.

[0391] For example, the spring door 65 also includes a fastener 6522. The fastener 6522 can be a rivet, screw, etc. One end of the fastener 6522 is fixedly connected to the third fixing block 617 of the fixing plate 61. A second elastic member 652 is sleeved on the fastener 6522. A portion of the second elastic member 652 can be located within the second groove 6512 of the door panel 651. Thus, in the Y-axis direction, the second elastic member 652 and the door panel 651 have an overlapping area, which can reduce the length of the first connecting assembly 600 in the Y-axis direction.

[0392] In one embodiment, the second elastic member 652 is in a compressed state when the communication system 1 is in a disengaged state. At this time, when the communication system 1 is in a disengaged state, the second elastic member 652 can apply a spring force to the door panel 651. The door panel 651 extends into the socket 6121 under the spring force of the second elastic member 652. When the communication system 1 is in a disengaged state, the latch 62 presses the door panel 651 against the locking block 612 under the spring force of the first elastic member 64. The frictional force provided by the locking block 612 can counteract the spring force of the second elastic member 652, preventing the door panel 651 from being pushed out of the socket 6121 by the second elastic member 652. Furthermore, when a portion of the door panel 651 extends into the socket 6121, external dust or moisture can be prevented from entering the first housing 200 through the socket 6121 of the fixing plate 61.

[0393] In other embodiments, the second elastic member 652 is in its natural state when the communication system 1 is in the disconnected state. When the communication system 1 is in the disconnected state, a portion of the door panel 651 extends into the socket 6121. Additionally, when the communication system 1 is in the disconnected state, the latch 62 presses the door panel 651 against the locking block 612 under the elastic force of the first elastic member 64. The locking block 612 can provide frictional force to the door panel 651 to prevent the door panel 651 from dislodging from the socket 6121.

[0394] In one implementation, such as Figure 47 and Figure 48 As shown, door panel 651 has a notch 6513. The notch 6513 is located on the side of door panel 651. At this time, the portion of door panel 651 extending into the insertion hole 6121 has a smaller dimension in the X-axis direction than the portion of door panel 651 not extending into the insertion hole 6121. Thus, under the elastic force of the second elastic member 652, the wall surface of the notch 6513 of door panel 651 can abut against the locking block 612 of the fixing plate 61.

[0395] In other embodiments, the display device 1000 further includes a limiting mechanism (not shown). The limiting mechanism is used to limit the door panel 651 in the Y-axis direction when the communication system 1 is in a disconnected state, thereby preventing the door panel 651 from dislodging through the insertion hole 6121. For example, the limiting mechanism may be a limiting block (not shown) disposed on the fixing plate 61. When the communication system 1 is in a disconnected state, the limiting block abuts against the door panel 651 in the Y-axis direction. Exemplarily, the limiting block may be located at the notch 6513 of the door panel 651.

[0396] like Figure 48 As shown, the first magnetic assembly 66 is fixed on the fixing plate 61.

[0397] For example, the first magnetic assembly 66 can be installed between the main body 611 of the fixing plate 61 and the second fixing block 616.

[0398] For example, the first magnetic assembly 66 can be bonded to the first surface 6111 of the fixing plate 61 and the side surface of the second fixing block 616.

[0399] Figure 49 yes Figure 1 A partial structural schematic diagram of the display device 1000 is shown. Exemplarily, Figure 49 This diagram illustrates the assembly of the first connecting component 600 and the first housing 200. Figure 50 yes Figure 49 The image shows a partial enlarged view of the display device 1000 at point A4.

[0400] like Figure 49and Figure 50 As shown, the first connecting component 600 is disposed on the first housing 200. Exemplarily, the fixing plate 61 of the first connecting component 600 is fixedly connected to the first housing 200. For example, the second surface 6112 of the fixing plate 61 is fixedly connected to the first housing 200 by an adhesive or welding process. It is understood that the latch 62, force-applying member 63, first elastic member 64, spring door 65, and first magnetic assembly 66 of the first connecting component 600 can be assembled with the fixing plate 61 first. Then, the fixing plate 61 is assembled with the first housing 200. Thus, compared to the scheme of assembling the first connecting component 600 sequentially to the first housing 200, the assembly process of this embodiment is simpler.

[0401] In other embodiments, the fixing plate 61 may also be an integrally formed structural component with the first housing 200.

[0402] In other embodiments, when the first connecting assembly 600 does not include the fixing plate 61, other components of the first connecting assembly 600 can directly mate with the first housing 200.

[0403] In one embodiment, when the communication system 1 is in a disconnected state, the entire first connecting component 600 is located within the first housing 200. This results in better visual consistency of the display device 1000, which is more aesthetically pleasing to the human eye. Furthermore, when the display device 1000 is subjected to external impact, the components within the first connecting component 600 are less likely to deform or be damaged by direct impact.

[0404] like Figure 50 As shown, at least a portion of the locking block 612 of the fixing plate 61 is located within the through hole 21 of the first housing 200. The locking block 612 is provided with an insertion hole 6121. The insertion hole 6121 can serve as the insertion space for the locking block 612. In other embodiments, the locking block 612 may also be provided with a slot. The slot can serve as the insertion space for the locking block 612. Additionally, in other embodiments, when the first connecting assembly 600 does not have a locking block 612, an insertion space can be directly provided on the first housing 200. The insertion space can be an insertion hole or a slot.

[0405] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, by fixing the locking block 612 to the first housing 200, the locking block 612 can become part of the first housing 200. Therefore, the insertion hole 6121 of the locking block 612 can also serve as the insertion space of the first housing 200. When the locking block 612 is provided with a slot, the slot can serve as the insertion space of the first housing 200. In the following description, the insertion hole 6121 of the locking block 612 as the insertion space of the first housing 200 will be used as an example.

[0406] In other embodiments, the positions of the first connecting component 600 and the second connecting component 500 in this embodiment can be interchanged. In this case, the display device 1000 of this embodiment includes the structure of the second connecting component 500. The input device 2000 of this embodiment includes the structure of the first connecting component 600. At this time, when the user needs to use the communication system 1 which is in a connected state, that is, when the communication system 1... Figure 1 The intended separation state transitions to Figure 3 When connected as shown, the pin 13 of the second connection component 500 of the display device 1000 can extend through the through hole 21 provided in the first housing 200 and be inserted into the socket 6121 of the locking block 612 of the input device 2000.

[0407] The above text describes the specific structures of the first connecting component 600 and the second connecting component 500. The following text, in conjunction with the relevant accompanying drawings, describes in detail the connection and separation process between the first connecting component 600 and the second connecting component 500.

[0408] Figure 51 yes Figure 3 The diagram shows a partial structural schematic of the communication system 1 in another embodiment.

[0409] like Figure 51 As shown, exemplarily, the first magnetic group 66 includes a first magnet 661, a second magnet 662, and a third magnet 663. The magnetic field lines of the first magnet 661 and the third magnet 663 are aligned and opposite in direction to the magnetic field lines of the second magnet 662. The second magnet 662 is located between the first magnet 661 and the third magnet 663.

[0410] For example, the second magnetic assembly 55 includes a first magnet 551, a second magnet 552, and a third magnet 553. The magnetic field lines of the first magnet 551 and the third magnet 553 are aligned and opposite to the magnetic field lines of the second magnet 552. The second magnet 552 is located between the first magnet 551 and the third magnet 553.

[0411] It is understandable that the polarity of the end of the first magnet 661 of the first magnetic group 66 near the first magnet 551 of the second magnetic group 55 is opposite to the polarity of the end of the first magnet 551 of the second magnetic group 55 near the first magnet 661 of the first magnetic group 66, meaning that an attractive force can be generated between the first magnet 661 of the first magnetic group 66 and the first magnet 551 of the second magnetic group 55. Similarly, an attractive force is generated between the second magnet 662 of the first magnetic group 66 and the second magnet 552 of the second magnetic group 55 by setting the polarity of the second magnet 662 of the first magnetic group 66 and the second magnet 552 of the second magnetic group 55. Furthermore, an attractive force is generated between the third magnet 663 of the first magnetic group 66 and the third magnet 553 of the second magnetic group 55 by setting the polarity of the third magnet 663 of the first magnetic group 66 and the third magnet 553 of the second magnetic group 55.

[0412] In one embodiment, the first magnetic group 66 and the second magnetic group 55 are offset in the X-axis direction. Thus, when the first connecting component 600 and the second connecting component 500 are close together, and the through hole of the first housing 200 is opposite to the opening of the insertion space of the second housing 400, the first magnet 661 of the first magnetic group 66 will attract the first magnet 551 of the second magnetic group 55, the second magnet 662 of the first magnetic group 66 will attract the second magnet 552 of the second magnetic group 55, and the third magnet 663 of the first magnetic group 66 will attract the third magnet 553 of the second magnetic group 55. At this time, since the first magnetic group 66 and the second magnetic group 55 are offset in the X-axis direction, the first magnet 551 of the second magnetic group 55 is attracted by the first magnet 661 of the first magnetic group 66 along the X-axis direction, the second magnet 552 of the second magnetic group 55 is attracted by the second magnet 662 of the first magnetic group 66 along the X-axis direction, and the third magnet 553 of the second magnetic group 55 is attracted by the third magnet 663 of the first magnetic group 66 along the X-axis direction. In other words, the second magnetic group 55 can be attracted by the first magnetic group 66 along the X-axis direction. Thus, the second magnetic group 55 can drive the slider 51 to slide along the X-axis direction. For example, when the first magnetic group 66 and the second magnetic group 55 are offset in the negative X-axis direction, that is, in the negative X-axis direction, when the first magnetic group 66 extends relative to the second magnetic group 55, the second magnetic group 55 can drive the slider 51 to slide in the negative X-axis direction.

[0413] Exemplarily, the first magnet 661 of the first magnetic assembly 66 includes a first side surface 6611 and a second side surface 6612. The first side surface 6611 is connected to the second magnet 662 of the first magnetic assembly 66. The second side surface 6612 is the surface of the first magnet 661 facing away from the second magnet 662. Additionally, the first magnet 551 of the second magnetic assembly 55 includes an end face 5511. The end face 5511 is the surface of the first magnet 551 facing away from the second magnet 552.

[0414] Furthermore, the distance between the plane containing end face 5511 and the plane containing the second side face 6612 is 'a'. The distance between the plane containing end face 5511 and the plane containing the first side face 6611 is 'b'. Where a and b satisfy a:b < 1. Thus, the attractive force between the first magnetic group 66 of the first connecting component 600 and the second magnetic group 55 of the second connecting component 500 can drive the slider 52 to slide relative to the fixed plate 51 in the negative X-axis direction. For example, a:b = 1:2.

[0415] It is understood that the first magnetic group 66 and the second magnetic group 55 in this embodiment can constitute the driving mechanism of this embodiment. In other embodiments, the second magnetic group 55 can also be a component that can generate driving force, such as an electromagnet or a motor.

[0416] In this embodiment, the first connecting component 600 may also include a first positioning element (not shown). The second connecting component 500 may also include a second positioning element (not shown). The configuration of both the first and second positioning elements can be found in the embodiments described above (see [link to previous embodiment]). Figure 31a and Figure 31b ), the specifics will not be elaborated here.

[0417] Understandably, when the display device 1000 approaches the input device 2000, the positioning between the first and second positioning members allows the insertion hole 6121 of the locking block 612 to be positioned opposite to the through hole 401 of the second housing 400. This allows the first magnetic group 66 and the second magnetic group 55 to be offset in the X-axis direction, enabling the second magnetic group 55 to be attracted by the first magnetic group 66 along the X-axis. Furthermore, it facilitates the accurate insertion of a portion of the pin 13 into the insertion hole 6121 of the locking block 612 after it protrudes through the through hole 401 of the second housing 400.

[0418] Figure 52 yes Figure 51 The diagram shows the structure of the second connecting component 500 and the first connecting component 600 when they are connected.

[0419] like Figure 52As shown, when the first connecting component 600 and the second connecting component 500 are connected to each other, the first magnet 661 of the first magnetic group 66 is arranged opposite to the first magnet 551 of the second magnetic group 55, the second magnet 662 of the first magnetic group 66 is arranged opposite to the second magnet 552 of the second magnetic group 55, and the third magnet 663 of the first magnetic group 66 is arranged opposite to the third magnet 553 of the second magnetic group 55.

[0420] The connection process between the display device 1000 and the input device 2000 is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0421] like Figure 3 As shown, when a user needs to use communication system 1 which is in a connected state, that is, communication system 1 from... Figure 1 The intended separation state transitions to Figure 3 In the indicated connection configuration, the display device 1000 can be first positioned close to the input device 2000, and then the display device 1000 and input device 2000 can be connected. It should be noted that "closer" to the input device 2000 can mean either the input device 2000 remains stationary while the display device 1000 is moved, or the display device 1000 remains stationary while the input device 2000 is moved, or both the display device 1000 and input device 2000 can be moved simultaneously. The following description uses the example of keeping the input device 2000 stationary while moving the display device 1000.

[0422] like Figure 51 As shown, when the display device 1000 approaches the input device 2000, the insertion hole 6121 of the locking block 612 of the first connecting component 600 can be positioned opposite to the through hole 401 of the second housing 400. For example, the user can directly observe the position of the insertion hole 6121 of the locking block 612 and the through hole 401 of the second housing 400, and then position the insertion hole 6121 of the locking block 612 opposite to the through hole 401 of the second housing 400. In this way, an attractive force is generated between the first magnetic group 66 and the second magnetic group 55, and the attractive force gradually increases. Since the first magnetic group 66 and the second magnetic group 55 are offset in the X-axis direction, the second magnetic group 55 can be attracted by the first magnetic group 66 along the X-axis direction. The attractive force between the second magnetic group 55 and the first magnetic group 66 will cause the slider 52 to slide relative to the fixing plate 51 in the negative X-axis direction. The pin 13 slides in the positive Y-axis direction under the push of the slider 52. At this time, the pin 13 extends out through the through hole 401 of the second housing 400 and is inserted into the insertion hole 6121 of the locking block 612. For the movement relationship between the pin 13 and the slider 52, please refer to the above text. Figure 39 The relevant content will not be elaborated here.

[0423] Figure 53 yes Figure 52 This is an enlarged schematic diagram of a portion of the structure of the first connecting component 600 and the second connecting component 500 shown at A4. Exemplarily, Figure 53 This diagram illustrates the structure of the latch 62 and the pin 13 when the communication system is in a connected state.

[0424] like Figures 51 to 53 As shown, when a portion of the latch 13 is inserted into the insertion hole 6121 of the locking block 612, the latch 13 contacts the door panel 651 of the spring door 65. As the portion of the latch 13 continues to be inserted into the insertion hole 6121 of the locking block 612, the latch 13 can push the door panel 651 to slide along the positive Y-axis until the latch 62 separates from the door panel 651. In this way, the first elastic member 64, in a compressed state, can apply a spring force to the latch 62 along the positive X-axis. The latch 62 can slide relative to the fixed plate 61 along the positive X-axis under this spring force. The latch tongue of the latch 62 can abut against the latch 13 and lock the latch 13. Understandably, when a portion of the pin 13 is inserted into the socket 6121 of the locking block 612, the pin 13 is squeezed by the latch 62, making the connection between the pin 13 and the locking block 612 more stable, that is, making the connection between the display device 1000 and the input device 2000 more stable.

[0425] In addition, as a portion of the pin 13 continues to be inserted into the insertion hole 6121 of the locking block 612, the pin 13 can push the door panel 651 to slide in the positive direction of the Y axis, and the second elastic element 652 of the spring door 65 is in a compressed state.

[0426] The following section, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, details the unlocking process of the display device 1000 and the input device 2000.

[0427] like Figure 1 As shown, when a user needs to use communication system 1 in a disconnected state, that is, communication system 1 is... Figure 3 The connection state shown has been changed to Figure 1 When the separation state is as shown, the communication system 1 can be unlocked first, and then the display device 1000 and the input device 2000 can be separated.

[0428] The following section describes the process of unlocking communication system 1. Details are as follows:

[0429] like Figures 51 to 53As shown, the user can input a power-on command on the display device 1000 or the input device 2000. When the SMA cable (i.e., the force-applying element 63) is energized, the SMA cable retracts. The SMA cable pulls the latch 62 to slide in the negative direction of the X-axis. At this time, the latch tongue of the latch 62 separates from the pin 13 and extends out of the insertion hole 6121 through the clearance groove 6122. The pin 13 is no longer compressed by the latch 62 in the positive direction of the X-axis, and the pin 13 can be pulled out from the insertion hole 6121 of the locking block 612. For details on the movement process of the latch 62 and the force-applying element 63, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 46 The details described are omitted here.

[0430] The process of unlocking communication system 1 has been described above. The process of separating the display device 1000 from the input device 2000 will be described below. Details are as follows:

[0431] Thus, since the pin 13 is no longer compressed by the latch 62 along the positive X-axis, the pin 13 can be pulled out from the insertion hole 6121 of the locking block 612, that is, the display device 1000 can be pulled out from the input device 2000. During the process of the display device 1000 being pulled out from the input device 2000, the display device 1000 moves away from the input device 2000. At this time, the first magnetic group 55 and the second magnetic group 66 move away from each other, and the attraction between the first magnetic group 55 and the second magnetic group 66 decreases. The slider 52 pulls the pin 13 to slide along the positive X-axis under the elastic force of the elastic member 54 in a compressed state. Since the second side surface 5231 and the fourth side surface 532 are both inclined surfaces, the movement of the pin 13 along the X-axis direction is restricted, and the movement of the pin 13 along the Z-axis direction is restricted, the slider 52 can push the pin 13 to slide along the negative Y-axis direction. In this way, the pin 13 can extend into the interior of the second housing 400 through the through hole 401 of the second housing 400. For details regarding the process by which the latch 13 extends into the interior of the second housing 400 through the through hole 401, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 39 The relevant descriptions are omitted here.

[0432] Additionally, under the elastic force of the second elastic member 652, the door panel 651 of the spring door 65 slides relative to the fixed plate 61 in the negative direction of the Y-axis, and a portion of the door panel 651 can extend into the insertion hole 6121. Furthermore, during the sliding of the latch 62 in the negative direction of the X-axis, the latch 62 can compress the first elastic member 64, keeping the first elastic member 64 in a compressed state. Thus, when the SMA line is de-energized, the length of the SMA line can approximately return to its original state, and the SMA line can exert no tension on the latch 62. Under the elastic force of the first elastic member 64, the latch 62 slides relative to the fixed plate 61 in the positive direction of the X-axis. The latch 62 can approach the locking block 612, and the latch tongue of the latch 62 can extend into the insertion hole 6121 through the clearance groove 6122 and abut against the door panel 651. For details on the process of the latch 62 extending into the insertion hole 6121 through the clearance groove 6122, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 46 The relevant descriptions are omitted here.

[0433] In other embodiments, the first connecting assembly 600 may not include the spring door 65. In this case, the latch 62 can be inserted into the socket 6121 and block the socket 6121. Furthermore, the latch 62 inserted into the socket 6121 may have an inclined surface. The pin 13 may also have an inclined surface. When the pin 13 is inserted into the socket 6121, the pin 13 can, through the cooperation of the inclined surfaces of both, push a portion of the latch 62 out of the socket 6121, thereby allowing a portion of the latch 62 to be fully inserted into the socket 6121.

[0434] The preceding text, with reference to the accompanying drawings, detailed several configuration methods for the first and second connecting components. The following text, also with reference to the accompanying drawings, will further detail several configuration methods for the second connecting component.

[0435] Figure 54 yes Figure 2 The diagram shows the structure of the first connecting component 100 and the second connecting component 300 in another embodiment.

[0436] The technical contents that are the same as those in the second embodiment will not be repeated here. For example, the display device 1000 includes a first connecting component 600. The arrangement of the first connecting component 600 can be referred to the arrangement of the first connecting component 600 in the second embodiment. For example, the first connecting component 600 includes a fixing plate 61, a latch 62, a force-applying member 63, a first elastic member 64, a spring door 65, and a first magnetic assembly 66, etc. Specific details will not be repeated here.

[0437] like Figure 54 As shown, the second connecting assembly 700 includes a fixing plate 71, a slider 72, a pin 13, an elastic element 74, and a second magnetic assembly 75.

[0438] For example, the slider 72 is slidably connected to the fixing plate 71. The connection method between the slider 72 and the fixing plate 71 can be referred to the connection relationship between the slider 52 and the fixing plate 51 in the second embodiment. For example, the slider 72 can slide relative to the fixing plate 71 along the X-axis direction.

[0439] For example, the second magnetic group 75 is fixedly connected to the slider 72. The arrangement of the second magnetic group 75, the connection between the second magnetic group 75 and the slider 72, and the interaction between the second magnetic group 75 and the first magnetic group 66 can all be found in the second embodiment regarding the arrangement of the second magnetic group 55, the connection between the second magnetic group 55 and the slider 52, and the interaction between the second magnetic group 66 and the first magnetic group 55. Specific details will not be elaborated here.

[0440] like Figure 54 As shown, the pin 13 includes a connecting portion 731 and a hook portion 732. The hook portion 732 is connected to the connecting portion 731. It can be understood that the pin 13 can be a single integral structural component, that is, the connecting portion 731 and the hook portion 732 are integrally formed structural components. The pin 13 can also be a spliced ​​structural component. For example, the connecting portion 731 and the hook portion 732 can be formed into a single integral structural component by splicing (e.g., mortise and tenon joint) or fixing (e.g., welding, bonding, etc.). Specifically, this application does not limit the specifics.

[0441] The connecting portion 731 of the pin 13 is rotatably connected to the fixing plate 71. For example, the connecting portion 731 of the pin 13 can be rotatably connected to the fixing plate 71 via a pivot. In other embodiments, the rotation method of the connecting portion 731 and the fixing plate 71 is not specifically limited.

[0442] Additionally, the hook portion 732 of the pin 13 is elastically connected to the fixing plate 71. For example, the hook portion 732 of the pin 13 can be connected to the fixing plate 71 via an elastic element 74. In this case, one end of the elastic element 74 is fixedly connected to the hook portion 732, and the other end is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 71. The elastic element 74 can be a torsion spring. In other embodiments, the elastic element 74 can also be a sheet, rubber, or a spring, etc.

[0443] Understandably, when the slider 72 slides relative to the fixed plate 71 in the negative X-axis direction, the slider 72 can apply a force to the connecting part 731 of the pin 13, causing the connecting part 731 of the pin 13 to rotate relative to the fixed plate 71. At this time, the pin 13 can pull the elastic element 74, so that the elastic element 74 is in a stretched state.

[0444] For example, the connecting portion 731 of the pin 13 is spaced apart from and opposite to the slider 72 when the communication system 1 is in a disconnected state. In other embodiments, the connecting portion 731 of the pin 13 may also be in contact with the slider 72 when the communication system is in a disconnected state.

[0445] like Figure 54 As shown, the second connecting component 700 is disposed in the second housing 400. The connection method between the second connecting component 700 and the second housing 400 can be referred to the connection method between the second connecting component 500 and the second housing 400 in the second embodiment. Specific details will not be elaborated here.

[0446] The connection process between the display device 1000 and the input device 2000 is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0447] Figure 55 yes Figure 54 The diagram shows the structure of the first connecting component 600 and the second connecting component 700 when they are in a connected state.

[0448] Please see Figure 54 and Figure 55 , combined Figure 51 As shown, when the display device 1000 approaches the input device 2000, the socket 6121 of the first connecting assembly 600 can be positioned opposite to the through hole 401 of the second housing 400. This creates an attraction between the first magnetic group 66 and the second magnetic group 75, and the attraction gradually increases. Since the first magnetic group 66 and the second magnetic group 75 are offset in the X-axis direction, the attraction between the second magnetic group 75 and the first magnetic group 66 will cause the slider 72 to slide relative to the fixed plate 71 in the negative X-axis direction. The pin 13 rotates clockwise under the push of the slider 72. At this time, the hook 732 of the pin 13 extends through the through hole 401 of the second housing 400 and inserts into the socket 6121. For details on the movement relationship between the pin 13 and the slider 72, please refer to the above text. Figure 39 The relevant content will not be elaborated here.

[0449] like Figures 51 to 53 As shown, when the hook 732 of the pin 13 is inserted into the socket 6121, the latch tongue of the latch 62 can abut against the pin 13. It is understood that when a portion of the pin 13 is inserted into the socket 6121, the pin 13 is compressed by the latch 62, making the connection between the display device 1000 and the input device 2000 more stable. Regarding the movement of the door panel 651 and the latch 62 of the first connecting assembly 600 after the hook 732 of the pin 13 is inserted into the socket 6121, please refer to the movement of the door panel 651 and the latch 62 of the first connecting assembly 600 in the second embodiment. Specific details will not be elaborated here.

[0450] Additionally, as a portion of the latch 13 continues to be inserted into the socket 6121, the latch 13 can push the door panel 651 to slide along the positive direction of the Y axis, and the second elastic element 652 of the spring door 65 is in a compressed state.

[0451] Additionally, as a portion of the pin 13 continues to be inserted into the socket 6121, the elastic element 74 is in a stretched state.

[0452] The following section, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, details the unlocking process of the display device 1000 and the input device 2000.

[0453] like Figure 1 As shown, when a user needs to use communication system 1 in a disconnected state, that is, communication system 1 is... Figure 3 The connection state shown has been changed to Figure 1 When the separation state is as shown, the communication system 1 can be unlocked first, and then the display device 1000 and the input device 2000 can be separated.

[0454] The following section describes the process of unlocking communication system 1. Details are as follows:

[0455] like Figures 51 to 53 As shown, the user can input a power-on command on the display device 1000 or the input device 2000. When the SMA cable (i.e., the force-applying element 63) is energized, the SMA cable retracts. The SMA cable pulls the latch 62 to slide in the negative direction of the X-axis. At this time, the latch tongue of the latch 62 separates from the pin 13. The pin 13 can then be pulled out of the socket 6121. For details on the movement of the latch 62 and the force-applying element 63, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 46 The details described are omitted here.

[0456] The process of unlocking communication system 1 has been described above. The process of separating the display device 1000 from the input device 2000 will be described below. Details are as follows:

[0457] Thus, the pin 13 can be pulled out from the socket 6121, that is, the display device 1000 can be pulled out from the input device 2000. During the process of the display device 1000 being pulled out from the input device 2000, the display device 1000 moves away from the input device 2000. At this time, the first magnetic group 75 and the second magnetic group 66 move away from each other, and the attraction between the first magnetic group 75 and the second magnetic group 66 decreases. At this time, the pin 13 rotates counterclockwise under the tension of the elastic member 74. Thus, the pin 13 can extend into the interior of the second housing 400 through the through hole 401. In addition, the slider 72 can also slide relative to the fixed plate 71 under the elastic force of the elastic member (not shown in the figure, please refer to the elastic member 54 in the second embodiment) in a compressed state, and slide back to its original position. For the process of the pin 13 extending into the interior of the second housing 400 through the through hole 401, please refer to Figure 39 The relevant descriptions are omitted here.

[0458] Additionally, under the elastic force of the second elastic member 652, the door panel 651 of the spring door 65 slides relative to the fixed plate 61 in the negative direction of the Y-axis, and a portion of the door panel 651 can extend into the socket 6121. Furthermore, when the SMA line is de-energized, the latch 62 slides relative to the fixed plate 61 in the positive direction of the X-axis under the elastic force of the first elastic member 64. The latch tongue of the latch 62 can extend into the socket 6121 and abut against the door panel 651. For details on the process of the latch 62 extending into the socket 6121, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 46 The relevant descriptions are omitted here.

[0459] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other, and any combination of features in different embodiments is also within the protection scope of this application. That is to say, the multiple embodiments described above can also be arbitrarily combined according to actual needs.

[0460] It should be noted that all the above figures are exemplary illustrations of this application and do not represent the actual size of the product. Furthermore, the dimensional proportions between the components in the figures are not intended to limit the actual product of this application.

[0461] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
