Figure 1B is along Figure 1A Schematic cross-sectional view of the Line II support frame in the closed state. Figure 1C and Figure 1D is along Figure 1A Schematic diagram of the cross section of the Line II support frame during the opening process. Figure 1E is along Figure 1A Schematic cross-sectional view of the Line II support frame in the open state. Figure 1F is along Figure 1A Schematic cross-sectional view of the line II support frame during the folding process.

[0054] Please refer to Figure 1A as well as Figure 1B In this embodiment, the support frame 100a is suitable for supporting the electronic body 10. The support frame 100a includes a movable member 110a, a switch component 120a and an elastic component 130a. The movable member 110a includes a body 112a and a plurality of grooves, wherein the plurality of grooves include a first groove 114a and a second groove 116a. The first groove 114a and the second groove 116a are separated from each other and are located on one end 113a of the body 112a. One end 113a of the body 112a is pivotally connected to the electronic body 10 and is located in the electronic body 10. The switch component 120a includes a body 122a, a latch 124a and a button 126a. The body 122a and the latch 124a are disposed in the electronic body 10 and are located on the configuration surface 12 of the electronic body 10. The latch 124a is slidably disposed on the body 122a, and the button 126a is connected to the body 122a and exposed to the electronic body 10. The elastic element 130 a is disposed in the electronic body 10 and is at least connected between the switch element 120 a and the electronic body 10 .

[0055] In detail, the electronic body 10 is, for example, a display, a tablet, a mobile phone or a handwriting tablet screen, but is not limited thereto, and the support frame 100a is assembled on the electronic body 10 to support the electronic body 10. The configuration surface 12 of the electronic body 10 has an opening 13, and the button 126a of the switch component 120a passes through the opening 13 and is exposed to the electronic body 10, and the button 126a is suitable for moving parallel to the configuration surface 12 in the opening 13. That is, the button 126a can move horizontally along the configuration surface 12 of the electronic body 10 to present an on / off state, that is, a horizontal sliding unlocking. Here, the plane perpendicular to the configuration surface 12 is defined as a vertical plane VP, and the plane parallel to the configuration surface 12 is defined as a horizontal plane HP. In one embodiment, the button 126a can have a rounded surface or a chamfered surface to make the horizontal movement smoother. In addition, the electronic body 10 further includes a limiting groove 15 , wherein the switch component 120 a is supported in the limiting groove 15 , and the limiting groove 15 can limit the movement of the switch component 120 a in the opening 13 .

[0056] In the present embodiment, the movable part 110a is, for example, a tripod, wherein the first groove 114a and the second groove 116a have an angle A therebetween, and the angle A is, for example, greater than or equal to 90 degrees. It should be noted that the position of the groove can be adjusted to meet the requirements of different closing or opening angles. In one embodiment, the two opposite side walls of the groove can be a combination of an arc wall and a vertical wall, respectively, wherein the arc wall facilitates the insertion of the latch 124a, and the vertical wall can prevent the movable part 110a from being forced to shake and push the latch 124a upward. Furthermore, the support frame 100a of the present embodiment also includes a rotating shaft 140, which is connected to the electronic body 10 and passes through one end 113a of the movable part 110a. The movable part 110a rotates relative to the electronic body 10 with the rotating shaft 140 as the axis.

[0057] Please refer to Figure 1A and Figure 1BThe main body 122a of the switch assembly 120a of the present embodiment has a pair of slide grooves 123a opposite to each other and a pair of configuration grooves 125a opposite to each other, wherein the slide grooves 123a are arranged in pairs and correspond to each other, and the configuration grooves 125a are arranged in pairs and correspond to each other. The extension direction L of the slide groove 123a is inclined at an angle B relative to the configuration surface 12, which means that the slide groove 123a of the present embodiment is an inclined slide groove. The orthographic projection of the configuration groove 125a on the configuration surface 12 does not overlap the orthographic projection of the slide groove 123a on the configuration surface 12. Furthermore, the latch 124a of the switch assembly 120a of the present embodiment specifically includes a first connecting rod C1, a second connecting rod C2, a linkage portion C3, a connecting portion C4 and a latch portion C5. The two ends of the first connecting rod C1 are respectively slidably disposed in the slide groove 123a. The two ends of the second connecting rod C2 are respectively configured in the configuration groove 125a. The linkage portion C3 connects the first link C1 and the second link C2, and the connection portion C4 connects the second link C2 and the latch portion C5. Here, the latch 124a is embodied as an integrated link design, and the combination of the main body 122a and the latch 124a enables the latch 124a to perform circular motion along an arc trajectory. In addition, the elastic component 130a is, for example, two elastic members, wherein each elastic member 130a is, for example, a spring.

[0058] It should be noted that the slope of the slide groove 123a can be determined according to the distance between the groove of the movable part 110a and the button 126a, the height of the available space on the vertical plane VP, the retreat stroke of the button 126a, and the arm length of the connecting rod of the latch 124a. The smaller the slope of the slide groove 123a, that is, the gentler it is, the smoother the hand feel is; conversely, the larger the slope of the slide groove 123a, the relatively rough hand feel is. Furthermore, the arm length formed by the connecting portion C4 and the latch portion C5 of the latch 124a is limited by the height of the available space on the vertical plane VP; when the height is smaller, the arm length is shorter, which can avoid incomplete actuation caused by interference from the upper structure. The side wall length and angle of the first connecting rod C1 and the second connecting rod C2 of the latch 124a must be adjusted according to the position of the groove of the movable part 110a and the side wall height of the button 126a. In addition, the latch portion C5 of the latch 124a should be vertical at the dead point, and an appropriate number of ribs may be added to enhance the structural strength of the latch portion C5.

[0059] Please refer to Figure 1BIn this embodiment, when the support frame 100a is in the closed state E1, the elastic component 130a pushes the switch component 120a, so that the switch component 120a is in the first position P1. At this time, the first connecting rod C1 is located at the third position P3 of the slide groove 123a, and the latch portion C5 of the latch 124a rotates on the vertical plane VP perpendicular to the configuration surface 12 and is inserted into the groove 114a of the movable member 110a to limit the rotation of the movable member 110a relative to the electronic body 10. That is, the movable member 110a can be fixedly received in the electronic body 10 and cannot be rotated and automatically opened, which can prevent the movable member 110a from automatically opening in the closed state E1.

[0060] Next, please also refer to Figure 1B , Figure 1C as well as Figure 1D When the support frame 100a is in the opening process E2, the user pushes the switch assembly 120a with one hand along the horizontal direction H parallel to the configuration surface 12 of the electronic body 10, so that the switch assembly 120a resists the elastic force of the elastic assembly 130a and moves linearly to the second position P2. At this time, the first connecting rod C1 slides from the third position P3 to the fourth position P4 along the sliding groove 123a, and the latch portion C5 of the linkage latch 124a rotates on the vertical plane VP with the second connecting rod C2 as the axis to disengage from the first groove 114a, that is, the movable member 110a is disengaged from the stop, so that the user can use the other hand to open the movable member 110a, so that the movable member 110a rotates relative to the electronic body 10 and gradually unfolds in the electronic body 10.

[0061] Afterwards, please also refer to Figure 1D and Figure 1E When the support frame 100a is in the open state E3, the elastic component 130a pushes the switch component 120a, so that the switch component 120a is in the first position P1 again. At this time, the first connecting rod C1 slides along the sliding groove 123a from the fourth position P4 to the third position P3, and the latch portion C5 of the linkage latch 124a rotates on the vertical plane VP with the second connecting rod C2 as the axis and is inserted into the second groove 116a of the movable member 110a, which can limit the rotation of the movable member 110a relative to the electronic body 10, so that the movable member 110a is unfolded on the electronic body 10 to support the electronic body 10. In other words, the movable member 110a can be fixedly unfolded on the electronic body 10 to support the electronic body 10 and cannot be rotated and automatically closed, which can prevent the movable member 110a from automatically closing when in the open state E3.

[0062] Finally, please also refer to Figure 1E as well as Figure 1FWhen the support frame 100a is in the folding process E4, the user pushes the switch assembly 120a along the horizontal direction H with one hand, so that the switch assembly 120a resists the elastic force of the elastic assembly 130a and moves linearly to the second position P2. At this time, the first connecting rod C1 slides from the third position P3 to the fourth position P4 along the sliding groove 123a, and the latch portion C5 of the linkage latch 124a rotates on the vertical plane VP with the second connecting rod C2 as the axis to disengage from the second groove 116a, that is, the movable member 110a lacks a stopper, and the user can close the movable member 110a with the other hand, so that the movable member 110a rotates relative to the electronic body 10 and gradually closes to the electronic body 10.

[0063] In the design of the support frame 100a of the present embodiment, when the elastic component 130a pushes the switch component 120a to make the switch component 120a located at the first position P1, the latch 124a rotates on the vertical plane VP perpendicular to the configuration surface 12 and is inserted into the first groove 114a or the second groove 116a of the movable member 110a to limit the rotation of the movable member 110a relative to the electronic body 10; and when the switch component 120a resists the elastic force of the elastic component 130a and moves linearly to the second position P2, the latch 124a rotates on the vertical plane VP and is disengaged from the first groove 114a or the second groove 116a of the movable member 110a, so that the movable member 110a rotates relative to the electronic body 10 to be opened or closed on the electronic body 10. In other words, the support frame 100a of the present embodiment adopts a fixed axis type fixed structure, and the movable member 110a can be fixed at a specific opening or closing position through the accumulation and release of mechanical energy by the elastic component 130a. Furthermore, because the latch 124a can be inserted into the first groove 114a or the second groove 116a of the movable part 110a, it can provide greater strength to meet the use scenario and can also achieve a thinning effect. In addition. Since the latch 124a of this embodiment is a connecting rod type fixed structure, it is actuated on the vertical plane VP, so it can be used in situations where the horizontal plane HP is limited, and the latch area can be increased to increase stability. In short, the support frame 100a of this embodiment has the advantages of small size and thinness, and also has the advantage of low cost because it does not need to use a hinge type movable part.

[0064] It must be noted that the following embodiments use the same component numbers and some contents of the previous embodiments, wherein the same number is used to represent the same or similar components, and the description of the same technical contents is omitted. The description of the omitted parts can refer to the previous embodiments, and the following embodiments will not be repeated.

[0066] Please refer to Figure 1A , Figure 1B , Figure 2A , Figure 2B as well as Figure 2CThe support frame 100b of this embodiment is similar to the support frame 100a described above, and the difference between the two is that: in this embodiment, the latch 124b of the switch assembly 120b includes two latch portions 127, wherein the two latch portions 127 are located on opposite sides of the main body 122b, and the button 126b is connected to the main body 122b and exposed to the electronic body 10. Here, the two latch portions 127 are embodied as a caliper design. Considering the balance, the double caliper design can disperse the force and avoid the material from yielding and breaking prematurely. Furthermore, the switch assembly 120b of this embodiment also includes two protrusions 129, which connect the opposite sides of the main body 122b and are located between the main body 122b and the two latch portions 127. The two latch portions 127 are respectively formed with depressions at the corresponding two protrusions 129, and the depressions are designed to allow the button 126b to move with a longer stroke. The inclination degree and rounded transition angle of the contact surface between the two latch parts 127 and the button 126b affect the damping feel. In addition, the shape of the ends of the two latch parts 127 can be adjusted according to the space of the groove 114b, wherein the larger the area of ​​the ends of the two latch parts 127, the better the fixing effect.

[0067] Furthermore, the plurality of grooves of the movable member 110b of the present embodiment include two grooves 114b, which are respectively located on opposite sides of the main body 122b and are arranged corresponding to the two latch portions 127. When the two protruding blocks 129 push the two latch portions 127 apart, the two latch portions 127 can also center the button 126b, which will not cause a bad hand feel due to offset, or even cause uneven wear on both sides of the material. In addition, the elastic component 130b of the present embodiment includes a first elastic component 132 and a second elastic component 134. The two first elastic components 132 are connected between the main body 122b of the switch component 120b and the electronic body 10. The second elastic component 134 is connected to the latch 124b of the switch component 120b to provide a force for the two latch portions 127 to clamp together, and can be used to fix the movable member 110b. In addition, the support frame 100b of this embodiment further includes two fixing members 150, wherein the second elastic member 134 spans across the main body 122b and connects the latch portion 127, and the two fixing members 150 respectively fix the latch portion 127 and the second elastic member 134 on the configuration surface 12. The two first elastic members 132 and the second elastic member 134 are springs. It should be noted that when the K value (i.e., the elastic coefficient) of the second elastic member 134 is larger, the damping feeling of the button 126b is larger.

[0068] Please also refer to Figure 2B , Figure 2C as well as Figure 2DIn this embodiment, when the support frame 100b is in the closed state E1, the elastic component 130b pushes the switch component 120b to make the switch component 120b in the first position P1. At this time, the two latch portions 127 of the latch 124b rotate on the horizontal plane HP parallel to the configuration surface 12 and are respectively inserted into the two grooves 114b of the movable member 110b to limit the rotation of the movable member 110b relative to the electronic body 10. That is, the movable member 110b can be fixedly received in the receiving groove 17 of the electronic body 10 and cannot be rotated and automatically opened, so as to prevent the movable member 110b from automatically opening in the closed state E1.

[0069] Next, please also refer to Figure 2E , Figure 2F as well as Figure 2G When the support frame 100b is in the opening process E2, the user pushes the switch assembly 120b with one hand along the horizontal direction H parallel to the configuration surface 12 of the electronic body 10, so that the switch assembly 120b resists the first elastic force of the two first elastic members 132 and moves linearly to the second position P2. At this time, the two protrusions 129 push against the two latching portions 127 respectively, so that the two latching portions 127 resist the second elastic force of the second elastic member 134 and rotate on the horizontal plane HP with the two fixing members 150 as the axis to separate from the two grooves 114b, that is, the movable member 110b is separated from the stop, so that the user can use the other hand to open the movable member 110b, so that the movable member 110b rotates relative to the electronic body 10 and gradually unfolds in the electronic body 10.

[0070] Afterwards, please also refer to Figure 2H , Fig.2I as well as Figure 2J When the support frame 100b is in the open state E3, the first elastic member 132 of the elastic member 130a pushes the switch member 120b to make the switch member 120b in the first position P1. At this time, the two latch portions 127 are respectively rotated on the horizontal plane HP with the two fixing members 150 as the axis by the second elastic force of the second elastic member 134 and inserted into the two grooves 114b of the movable member 110b to limit the rotation of the movable member 110b relative to the electronic body 10, so that the movable member 110b is unfolded on the electronic body 10 to support the electronic body 10. That is, the movable member 110b can be fixedly unfolded on the electronic body 10 to support the electronic body 10 and cannot be rotated and automatically closed, so as to prevent the movable member 110b from automatically closing when in the open state E3.

[0071] Finally, please also refer to Figure 2K , Figure 2L as well as Figure 2MWhen the support frame 100b is in the folding process E4, the user pushes the switch assembly 120b with one hand, so that the switch assembly 120b resists the first elastic force of the two first elastic members 132 and moves linearly to the second position P2. At this time, the two protrusions 129 push against the two latching portions 127 respectively, so that the two latching portions 127 resist the second elastic force of the second elastic member 134 and rotate on the horizontal plane HP with the two fixing members 150 as the axis to separate from the two grooves 114b. The movable member 110b lacks a stopper, so that the user can close the movable member 110b with the other hand, so that the movable member 110b rotates relative to the electronic body 10 and gradually closes in the receiving slot 17 of the electronic body 10.

[0072] In the design of the support frame 100b of the present embodiment, when the elastic component 130b pushes the switch component 120b to make the switch component 120b located at the first position P1, the latch 124b rotates on the horizontal plane HP parallel to the configuration surface 12 and is inserted into the two grooves 114b of the movable member 110b to limit the rotation of the movable member 110b relative to the electronic body 10; and when the switch component 120b resists the elastic force of the elastic component 130b and moves linearly to the second position P2, the latch 124b rotates on the horizontal plane HP and is separated from the grooves 114b of the movable member 110b, so that the movable member 110b rotates relative to the electronic body 10 to be opened or closed on the electronic body 10. In other words, the support frame 100b of the present embodiment adopts a fixed axis type fixed structure, and the movable member 110b can be fixed at a specific position of opening or closing through the accumulation and release of mechanical energy by the elastic member 130b. Furthermore, because the latch 124b can be inserted into the two grooves 114b of the movable part 110b, it can provide greater strength to meet the use scenario and can also achieve a thin effect. In addition, the latch 124b of this embodiment is a caliper-type folding mechanism, which is actuated on the horizontal plane HP, so it can be used in the case where the vertical plane VP is limited, and the latch area can be increased to increase stability. In short, the support frame 100b of this embodiment has the advantages of small size and thinness. Moreover, because there is no need to use a hinge-type movable part, it has the advantage of low cost.

[0073] In summary, in the design of the support frame of the present invention, when the elastic component pushes the switch component to make the switch component in the first position, the latch rotates on a vertical plane perpendicular to the configuration surface or a horizontal plane parallel to the configuration surface and is inserted into at least one groove of the movable part to limit the rotation of the movable part relative to the electronic body; when the switch component resists the elastic force of the elastic component and moves linearly to the second position, the latch rotates on a vertical plane or a horizontal plane and disengages from the groove of the movable part, so that the movable part rotates relative to the electronic body and is opened or closed on the electronic body. In other words, the support frame of the present invention can fix the movable part in a specific position of opening or closing by accumulating and releasing mechanical energy of the elastic component, thereby achieving the purpose of small size and low cost.

It must be pointed out that the disclosed embodiments do not limit the scope of the present invention. On the contrary, changes and modifications made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention are all within the scope of patent protection of the present invention.
