[0006] This patent relates to equipment, and more specifically to the serviceability of equipment. One example may include a frame defining a front side and a rear side and a body therebetween. The body may be accessed through the rear side. In an operating state, a rear cover may be placed against the frame over the rear side. The device may be configured to allow movement between the rear cover and the frame substantially parallel to the rear side to lock the rear cover to the frame, and to allow movement in the opposite direction to unlock the rear cover for service. The device may also be configured to apply a biasing force substantially perpendicular to the rear side on the rear cover. The device may include a release device that may be engaged by the frame to allow movement of the rear cover to unlock the rear cover and allow a substantially perpendicular biasing force to move the rear cover away from the frame. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0007] The inventive concept relates to devices, such as computing devices that may include components located within a rack or housing. Many computing devices use a first part (e.g., a rack) and a corresponding second part (e.g., a cover) to form a body or housing that accommodates components such as a processor, a battery, etc. For many form factors (such as tablets, notebooks, and / or wearable devices), consumer preferences tend to be smaller form factors, especially thinner (e.g., z-dimensional limitations) and / or lighter form factors. These requirements have led to factory-sealed devices, which are usually placed in an alignment mold or die, aligning the first and second parts and pressing them together to provide an aesthetically pleasing appearance. Special adhesives (such as tape) are used in the alignment mold to bond the first and second parts. These devices are difficult to repair and require special tools, such as a heat gun to disassemble the first and second parts. In addition, disassembly often damages at least the tape and other components, such as the components to which the tape is adhered. Therefore, reassembly can only be completed using special tools and when replacement components (such as tape) are available.

[0008] Other traditional configurations that offer better maintainability simply have a screw at each corner of the cover that secures to the frame. These traditional solutions leave exposed screw heads that detract from the appearance of the device. Users may also lack the proper tools to remove the screws and / or lose the screws during removal and reinstallation. Covers can be used over the screw heads to improve the appearance of the device, but these covers can also be lost.

[0009] In contrast, the inventive concept can meet user needs related to device size and appearance while providing a user-serviceable structure. The user-serviceable structure can be disassembled and reassembled without any special tools and without replacing any components (e.g., no alignment molds and / or no sacrificial components). Despite its simplicity, the inventive concept can simply remove the cover with any stylus-shaped tool (such as a ballpoint pen). The cover can be reinstalled without any tools by simply aligning the cover with the frame and pressing down, and then sliding the cover back to the locked configuration.

[0010] Figures 1A-1C Some of the inventive concepts associated with an example device 100, such as a tablet-type device, are collectively illustrated. The device may include a frame 102 defining a first or front side 104, a second or rear side 106, and a body 107 therebetween. A display screen, though not visible, may be disposed on the front side 104. The rear side may be divided into a first region 108 and a second region 110. In this example, the first and second regions 108 and 110 may be separated by a kickstand 112, which may be rotatably secured to the frame 102 by a hinge 113. The kickstand 112 may be closed (e.g., folded) against the rear side 106 (e.g., against the first region 108). The kickstand 112 may also be rotated away from the rear side to different angles to support the device in various postures.

[0011] The second area 110 can be covered by a back cover 114. The back cover 114 can be removed to access the body 107 and the components 116 located in the body 107, such as the battery, processor, memory / storage. (These components are shown in shaded colors because they would be obscured in these views.) The back cover can be reinstalled to protect the components 116 in the body 107.

[0012] The release device 118 may be located on the first area 108. In this configuration, the release device 118 may be hidden when the stand 112 is closed, and accessible when the stand is opened. Figure 1C As shown, the user activates the release device 118, such as pressing the release device with a stylus 120, to move the back cover 114 horizontally (e.g., along the xy reference plane) away from the first area 108 (as shown by arrow 122) along the back side 106, and then move it upward (e.g., away from) the back side 106 (as shown by arrow 124), where the back cover 114 can be lifted to access the electronic components. After installation is completed, the user can simply place the back cover 114 back into the second area of ​​the frame 102, press downward (e.g., perpendicular to the back side 106) and slide (e.g., parallel to the back side 106) toward the first area 108 to reinstall the back cover 114.

[0013] Figure 2A and 2B Respectively Figure 1A and 1B Similar to Figures 1A-1C Consider together. Figure 2A and 2B A latch assembly 202 and an eject assembly 204 are shown. These assemblies may be located below the rear side 106, are not visible in these views, and are therefore shown as ghost images. The latch assembly 202 and the eject assembly 204 may facilitate removal and replacement of the rear cover 114. These assemblies will be discussed in more detail below and are described here to guide the reader.

[0014] Figures 3A-3C Additional components of device 100 are shown together. Figure 3A is a cross-sectional view of the device 100 . Figure 3B and Figure 3C is an enlarged view of a region of the device. In this case, the front side 104 is facing upwards, and Figures 1A-1C as well as Figure 2A and 2BIn the present embodiment, the latch assembly 202 includes a cover plate fastener 302, a cover plate 304, a pivot fastener 306, a shuttle spring 308, a pivot rod 310, a latch spring 312, a latch 314, and / or a latch shuttle 316. These components of the latch assembly 202 may be located in a cavity 318 defined by the frame 102. Figure 3B These components of the latch assembly 202 are shown assembled on a device without showing the cover plate fastener 302 and the cover plate 304 .

[0015] In this configuration, each ejection assembly 204 is located in the housing 102 to operate relative to the four corners of the rear cover. Figure 6 Describes another configuration of the pop-up assembly location.

[0016] exist Figure 3A , as shown with respect to ejection assembly 204(1), ejection assembly 204 may include fastener 320, cover plate 322, ejection spring 324, spring bar 326, and / or plug 328. These components of ejection assembly 204 may be positioned in cavity 330 defined by housing 102. Figure 3C The pop-up assembly is shown positioned in the cavity 330 , while the cover 322 and fastener 320 are not shown.

[0017] exist Figure 3A In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 , hooks 332 are visible at the bottom of the rear cover 114 (e.g., the side in contact with the rear side 106). In this configuration, a respective hook 332 is located at each corner of the rear cover 114. Other configurations are also contemplated, and will be discussed below with respect to FIG. Figure 6 Another configuration is described. Hooks 332 may be located in cavity 330 and interact with portions of frame 102 to releasably secure the rear cover to the frame. Figures 4A-4C This aspect is shown and described. The bottom surface of the rear cover can also define a shock absorber 334. The shock absorber 334 can engage the latch assembly 202, as will be described below with reference to Figures 4A-4C Shown and described.

[0018] Figures 4A-4C as well as Figure 5A and 5B Collectively, operational features of device 100 are shown. Figures 4A-4C Yes Figure 2A 1 and 1 , which together illustrate the operation of the latch assembly 202 and the eject assembly 204 in connection with retaining and releasing the rear cover 114. In this configuration, the chassis 102 defines a lip 402 that partially extends over the cavity 330 to define a slot 404. The slot 404 can be considered a subset of the cavity 330.

[0019] Figure 4AThe rear cover 114 is shown in an operational configuration secured to the housing 102 by the ejection assembly 204(1). At this point, the hook 332 is positioned below and engaged with the lip 402 of the housing 102, securing the rear cover 114 to the housing 102. The hook 332 and the lip 402 provide a technical solution to prevent the rear cover 114 from moving perpendicular to the rear side 106 while allowing seamless movement parallel to the rear side 106 (e.g., the hook slidably engages the lip).

[0020] At this point, the ejection spring 324 has been compressed by the rear cover, pushing the plug 328 downward approximately perpendicular to the rear side 106 (e.g., in the Z reference direction). Therefore, the ejection spring 324 creates a bias on the plug 328 from the front side 104 to the rear side 106. However, the plug 328 cannot move upward because the hook 332 is fixed below the lip 402. This engagement between the hook 332 of the rear cover 114 and the lip 402 of the frame 102 is maintained by the latch assembly 202, which prevents horizontal movement of the rear cover 114 (e.g., movement substantially parallel to the rear side 106 in the Y reference direction). As used herein, "substantially parallel" may, for example, refer to a difference of about + / -10 degrees from the parallel direction. Similarly, "substantially perpendicular" may, for example, refer to a difference of about + / -10 degrees from the perpendicular direction.

[0021] Looking at the latch assembly 202, the latch spring 312 is biasing the latch 314 upward against the rear side 106 (e.g., the latch 314 is pivoted about the pivot rod 310). At this point, the latch 314 is biased toward the rear side 106 by the latch spring 312. This can be seen from Figure 4A and Figure 5A As can be seen in both figures, the latch spring 312 has been extended and biases the latch 314 toward the rear side 106. The biasing of the latch 314 causes the latch hook 406 to engage with the corresponding latch shuttle hook 408. Figure 5A As shown, the shuttle spring 308 is compressed between the frame 102 and the latch shuttle 316 and generates a bias on the latch shuttle away from the latch 314. However, the latch spring 312 biases the latch 314 toward the rear side 106, and the shuttle hook 408 is basically captured by the latch hook 406, and the rear cover 114 remains in the operating position despite the bias applied by the shuttle spring 308. Therefore, the latch assembly 202 provides a technical solution for selectively transmitting a bias parallel to the rear side 106 and when to prevent the bias from acting on the rear cover 114.

[0022] Note that in this implementation, shuttle spring 308, latch spring 312, and eject spring 324 are used to create bias between the components. Other biasing mechanisms are also contemplated. For example, a compressible elastic material can be used that can be compressed in one direction and create an opposite bias in another opposite direction.

[0023] Figure 4B 4 shows a user engaging the release 118 with the stylus 410. The user engagement overcomes the bias of the latch spring 312 and pushes the release 118 downward toward the front side 104. This movement causes the latch 314 to pivot about the pivot rod 310 and the latch hook 406 to move downward a distance in the Z reference direction (DZ). This downward movement causes the shuttle hook 408 to disengage the latch hook 406. At this time, as shown in FIG. Figure 4B As shown, the bias generated by the shuttle spring 308 can move the latch shuttle 316 a distance (DY) away from the latch 314 in the Y reference direction. This Y-direction movement is transmitted to the rear cover 114 by the latch shuttle 316 acting on the damper 334. In this way, the rear cover 114 slides parallel to the rear side 106 and the hook 332 moves out from under the lip 402.

[0024] like Figure 4C As shown, once the hook 332 is disengaged from the lip 402, the bias applied by the ejection spring 324 on the plug 328 can cause the plug and the rear cover 114 to move upward in the Z reference direction (e.g., the direction from the front side 104 to the rear side 106 and through the rear side 106). The plug 328 has now moved upward until it is flush with the rear side 106 and occupies the space previously occupied by the hook 332. The contact between the plug 328 and the frame 102 blocks the plug 328 from further upward movement. The plug 328 blocks the cavity 330, preventing foreign objects from entering the cavity. The flushness of the plug 328 with the rear side 106 also helps to make the rear side aesthetically uniform. At this point, the rear cover 114 is no longer restricted and the user can lift it up to access the components in the frame. It should be noted that there are no loose components (such as fasteners) for the user to track or lose.

[0025] Therefore, plug 328 provides two technical solutions. First, the plug transfers the upward biasing force perpendicular to the rear surface to hook 332 and rear cover 114. Second, when rear cover 114 is removed, plug 328 can fill cavity 330 to prevent foreign matter from entering cavity 330 and interfering with the function of eject assembly 204 when rear cover 114 is reinstalled.

[0026] To reinstall the back cover 114, the process can be reversed. The user can place the back cover 114 on the back side 106, such as Figure 4C Then, the user pushes down to compress the pop-up spring 324 until the hook 332 passes over the lip 402, as shown. Figure 4B Then, the user can move the rear cover 114 horizontally until the shuttle hook 408 reengages the latch hook 406, as shown. Figure 4A shown.

[0027] See you again Figures 4A-4CThe latch assembly 202 and the ejection assembly 204 together provide a technical solution that allows quick and easy access to internal components for maintenance and / or upgrades. The latch assembly 202 may include a small, easy-to-actuate release device 118. In this implementation, the release device 118 is hidden under the tripod 112. This configuration can provide a technical solution that makes the release mechanism easy to hide and avoid accidental engagement. Figure 6 Another configuration is shown. The release device 118 provides a technical solution that can change the state of the latch assembly 202 and allow a force or bias parallel to the rear side 106 to be transmitted to the rear cover 114 to move the rear cover parallel to the rear side. In addition, the latch shuttle 316 can also provide a technical solution for transmitting the spring force laterally across a certain distance. Therefore, the latch assembly 202 can be positioned in the first area 108, but can transmit force to the rear cover 114 located in the second area 110.

[0028] When the user engages the release 118, such as by pressing down with a pointed tool (e.g., a stylus), the back cover 114 automatically pops out from the back of the device 100. The exposed surface of the back cover 114 can be completely uniform (e.g., without fastener access ports, etc.). The bottom of the back cover can include a hook 332 that engages with a lip 402 on the frame 102 to secure the back cover 114. When the hook 332 disengages the lip 402 at least partially due to lateral movement in the Y direction, the plug 328 is biased toward the back side 106 by the ejection spring 324 (e.g., in the Z direction). The plug 328 provides a dual function technical solution, which can eject the back cover 114 from the frame 102 to facilitate user removal, and fill the cavity 330 of the back side 106 with the plug 328 to provide a self-closing function. When the back cover 114 is removed from the device 100, the self-locking function prevents dust / moisture from entering.

[0029] The reconnection or reinstallation of the back cover 114 can be accomplished by two actions: pressing and sliding. These actions are equivalent to Figure 1C The removal action described by arrows 122 and 124 is just in the opposite order and direction (eg, sliding first and then upward to release and sliding downward and then reinstalling).

[0030] Compared to other solutions (such as fasteners or adhesives), this concept can provide users with a faster and more convenient back cover removal and reinstallation experience. There are no loose parts (such as screws) that may be lost, and no sacrificial parts (such as tape) that need to be replaced.

[0031] The plug 328 can also provide a visual guide for reinstalling the rear cover 114. The user can place the rear cover 114 on the frame 102 so that the hook 332 is located on the plug 328 and the damper 334 is located on the latch shuttle 316. Once the rear cover 114 is aligned, the user can press the rear cover downward to overcome the bias of the ejection spring 324, compress the ejection spring, and force the hook 332 into the cavity 330. The user can then slide the cover laterally into position so that the hook 332 is located below the lip 402. This lateral movement simultaneously causes the damper 334 in the latch shuttle 316 to move the latch shuttle 316, causing the shuttle hook 408 to overtake and engage the latch hook 406, and the latch 314 to reset and hold the latch shuttle 316 and, via the latch shuttle, the rear cover 114. This movement also compresses the shuttle spring 308, thereby providing energy for the automatic sliding of the rear cover when the release device is pressed. At some later point, the user can engage the release 118 to remove the rear cover 114 in a fraction of a second because the shuttle spring causes the rear cover 114 to slide parallel to the rear side 106, and then the pop-up spring 324 automatically pops the rear cover up and vertically away from the rear side 106. Therefore, the shuttle spring 308 and the pop-up spring 324 together provide a technical solution that allows the user to reinstall the rear cover 114 with a simple motion (e.g., downward and then sideways) without having to master an inclined or curved installation path.

[0032] Figure 6 Another example device 100A is shown. In this case, the frame 102 defines a first region 108 of the rear side 106. A second region 110 of the rear side 106 is covered by a rear cover 114. Figures 1A-5B As explained, the latch assembly 202 is positioned relative to the first area 108 and interacts with the back cover 114. The release device 118 is located on the first area 108 and can be accessed from this area. In this implementation, three pop-up assemblies 204 fix the back cover 114 to the rear side of the frame 102. Other numbers of pop-up assemblies can also be considered. In these configurations, the latch assembly 202 can provide a technical solution for whether the device is in an operating state or a service state. If the user engages the release device to repair the device, the latch assembly 202 will provide a spring force or bias to move the back cover 114 parallel to the back side 106. This parallel movement can release the hook of the back cover from the frame and allow the pop-up assembly 204 to automatically deviate the back cover 114 from the back side 106 so that the user can access the components in the frame.

[0033] The concepts of the present application can be used with various types of user-serviceable devices, such as computing devices, including but not limited to laptop computers, tablet computers, smart phones, wearable smart devices, gaming devices, entertainment consoles, and / or other types of devices being developed or to be developed. As used herein, a computing device can be any type of device with some processing capacity and / or storage capacity and / or other components.
