Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to an electronic device, and more particularly to an electronic device with a stylus pen. Background Art
[0002] With the development of touch display technology, touch displays have been widely used in various types of electronic products. Taking the application of a touch display in a notebook computer as an example, it provides an input method or operation method in addition to a keyboard, a touchpad, and a mouse, improving the flexibility of the user in operation. Currently, a user can select a stylus pen to operate the touch display to improve touch accuracy and assist in performing precise drawing and writing actions.
[0003] To facilitate the user to carry the stylus pen and prevent the stylus pen from being lost, most notebook computers are provided with a pen slot for storing the stylus pen. Generally, when the stylus pen is stored and fixed in the pen slot, the end of the stylus pen is exposed outside the pen slot. The user needs to use a finger to hold the end of the stylus pen to pull the stylus pen out of the pen slot, which not only lacks operational convenience but also makes it difficult for the user to quickly extract the stylus pen. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The present invention is directed to an electronic device with excellent operational convenience.
[0005] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the electronic device includes a first body, a second body, a stylus pen, and a positioning mechanism. The first body is provided with a first magnetic member. The second body is pivotally connected to the first body and has a pen slot. The stylus pen is stored in the pen slot. The positioning mechanism is disposed in the pen slot and includes a positioning seat, a driving member, an elastic member, and a driven member. The stylus pen is fixed to the positioning seat, and the positioning seat is adapted to slide in the pen slot. The driving member is pivotally connected to the second body and is provided with a second magnetic member disposed corresponding to the first magnetic member. Two ends of the elastic member are respectively connected to the driving member and the second body, and two ends of the driven member are respectively connected to the driving member and the positioning seat. When the second body is closed to the first body, the positioning seat is held at a first position, wherein the elastic member is squeezed by the driving member, and the elastic restoring force of the elastic member is less than the first magnetic attraction force generated between the second magnetic member and the first magnetic member. When the second body is unfolded relative to the first body, the elastic restoring force of the elastic member is greater than the second magnetic attraction force generated between the second magnetic member and the first magnetic member, so as to drive the driving member to rotate, and the driven member is driven by the driving member to push the positioning seat towards the opening of the pen slot, so that the positioning seat slides to a second position.
[0006] Based on the above, when the second body is unfolded relative to the first body, the positioning mechanism can move at least a part of the stylus pen out of the pen slot, facilitating the user to quickly extract the stylus pen. Therefore, the electronic device of the present invention has excellent operational convenience. Brief Description of the Drawings

[0017] Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Wherever possible, the same reference numerals are used in the drawings and the description to refer to the same or like parts.
[0018] Figure 1A It is a schematic diagram of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention in a first state. Figure 1B It is Figure 1A an enlarged schematic diagram of region R1 of. Please refer to Figure 1A and Figure 1B, in this embodiment, the electronic device 100 can be a laptop computer and includes a first body 110, a second body 120, and a stylus 130. The second body 120 is pivotally connected to the first body 110, and the stylus 130 is removably received in the second body 120. Specifically, the second body 120 has a pen slot 121 for receiving the stylus 130. In the first state, the second body 120 is closed on the first body 110, and the stylus 130 is received and fixed in the pen slot 121, which is not only conducive to carrying the stylus 130 but also prevents the stylus 130 from being lost.
[0019] As Figure 1B shown, the opening 122 of the pen slot 121 is located on the side of the second body 120. When the stylus 130 is received and fixed in the pen slot 121, the end of the stylus 130 is exposed outside the opening 122 but does not protrude from the side of the second body 120. Therefore, the integrity and beauty of the appearance of the electronic device 100 can be maintained, and at the same time, the stylus 130 can be prevented from being damaged by external objects or external forces.
[0020] As Figure 1A shown in Figure 1B , the first body 110 has a front end 110a and a rear end 110b opposite to the front end 110a, and the second body 120 has a top end 120a and a bottom end 120b opposite to the top end 120a. Specifically, the pen slot 121 is provided at the top end 120a, and the bottom end 120b is pivotally connected to the rear end 110b.
[0021] Figure 2A FIG. Figure 1A is a schematic diagram of the electronic device transitioning to the second state. Figure 2B FIG. Figure 2A is an enlarged schematic diagram of the region R2 in Figure 1A As shown in Figure 2A , or, as shown in Figure 1B and Figure 2B , when the second body 120 is unfolded relative to the first body 110 to transition to the second state, the distance between the top end 120a of the second body 120 and the front end 110a of the first body 110 increases. On the other hand, the end of the stylus 130 automatically moves out of the pen slot 121 and protrudes from the side of the second body 120 where the opening 122 is located, facilitating the user to quickly extract the stylus 130. Therefore, the electronic device 100 has excellent operational convenience.
[0022] Figure 3A FIG. Figure 1A is a partial enlarged schematic diagram of the electronic device from another perspective. Figure 3B FIG. Figure 3A is an enlarged schematic diagram of the region R3 in Figure 4A FIG. Figure 2APartial enlarged schematic view of the electronic device from another perspective. Figure 4B is Figure 4A Enlarged schematic view of area R4. Please refer to Figure 1A , Figure 1B , Figure 3A and Figure 3B , in this embodiment, the first body 110 is provided with a first magnetic member 111 corresponding to the pen slot 121 at the front end 110a, and the first magnetic member 111 is adapted to generate a magnetic suction force for positioning the stylus 130. On the other hand, the electronic device 100 further includes a positioning mechanism 200, wherein the positioning mechanism 200 is located at the top end 120a of the second body 120 and is disposed in the pen slot 121.
[0023] As Figure 1B , Figure 3A and Figure 3B shown, the positioning mechanism 200 includes a positioning seat 210, a driving member 220, an elastic member 230 and a driven member 240, wherein the stylus 130 is fixed to the positioning seat 210, and the positioning seat 210 is adapted to slide in the pen slot 121. Further, the stylus 130 has a first end 131 (such as the tip) and a second end 132 (such as the end) relative to the first end 131, wherein the first end 131 is fixed to the positioning seat 210, and the second end 132 is exposed outside the opening 122.
[0024] In this embodiment, the stylus 130 is adapted to slide synchronously with the positioning seat 210 in the pen slot 121 and slide between Figure 3A the first position shown in Figure 4A and Figure 3A the second position shown in Figure 4A . When the stylus 130 and the positioning seat 210 are held at
[0025] the first position shown in Figure 3A , the second end 132 of the stylus 130 does not protrude from the side of the second body 120 where the opening 122 is located. When the positioning seat 210 slides in the direction of the opening 122 to Figure 3BAs shown, the driving member 220 is pivotally connected to the second body 120 and is provided with a second magnetic member 221 corresponding to the first magnetic member 111. The elastic member 230 can be a torsion spring, and both ends of the elastic member 230 are respectively connected to the driving member 220 and the second body 120. On the other hand, both ends of the driven member 240 are respectively connected to the driving member 220 and the positioning seat 210, wherein the driven member 240 is located between the driving member 220 and the positioning seat 210, and the positioning seat 210 is located between the driven member 240 and the opening 122 of the pen slot 121. For example, both ends of the driven member 240 are pivotally connected to the driving member 220 and the positioning seat 210.
[0026] In the first state, the top end 120a of the second body 120 can be attached to the front end 110a of the first body 110, and a first magnetic attraction force is generated between the second magnetic member 221 and the first magnetic member 111. In the first state, the distance between the second magnetic member 221 and the first magnetic member 111 is the shortest, and the first magnetic attraction force can be the maximum magnetic attraction force that can be generated between the second magnetic member 221 and the first magnetic member 111.
[0027] In the first state, the positioning seat 210 is held at the first position, and the elastic member 230 is squeezed by the driving member 220. Since the first magnetic attraction force generated between the second magnetic member 221 and the first magnetic member 111 is greater than the elastic restoring force of the elastic member 230, the driving member 220, the driven member 240 and the positioning seat 210 can be locked to prevent the driving member 220, the driven member 240 and the positioning seat 210 from malfunctioning.
[0028] As Figure 4A and Figure 4B shown, when the second body 120 is unfolded relative to the first body 110 to switch to the second state, the distance between the top end 120a of the second body 120 and the front end 110a of the first body 110 increases, and the distance between the second magnetic member 221 and the first magnetic member 111 also increases.
[0029] Furthermore, when the electronic device 100 switches from the first state (as Figure 3A and Figure 3B shown) to the second state (as Figure 4A and Figure 4B shown), the magnetic attraction force generated between the second magnetic member 221 and the first magnetic member 111 weakens from the first magnetic attraction force to the second magnetic attraction force, and the second magnetic attraction force is less than the elastic restoring force of the elastic member 230. Therefore, the elastic member 230 can drive the driving member 220 to rotate, and the driven member 240 is driven by the driving member 220 to push the positioning seat 210 towards the opening 122 of the pen slot 121, so that the positioning seat 210 slides to the second position. At the same time, the stylus 130 slides synchronously with the positioning seat 210, and the second end 132 is moved out of the pen slot 121.
[0030] That is to say, the magnetic attraction force generated between the second magnetic member 221 and the first magnetic member 111 weakens as the unfolding angle of the second body 120 relative to the first body 110 increases. Once the magnetic attraction force generated between the second magnetic member 221 and the first magnetic member 111 is less than the elastic restoring force of the elastic member 230, the elastic restoring force of the elastic member 230 can drive the driving member 220 to rotate in the pen groove 121. At the same time, the driving member 220 can drive the positioning seat 210 to slide in the pen groove 121 towards the opening 122 through the driven member 240, so that the second end 132 of the stylus 130 automatically moves out of the pen groove 121 when the second body 120 unfolds relative to the first body 110.
[0031] As Figure 3B shown in Figure 4B FIG. [not shown in the provided text, should be a specific figure number], the driving member 220 includes a first driving portion 220a and a second driving portion 220b, and the second magnetic member 221 is disposed on the first driving portion 220a. The second driving portion 220b is connected to the first driving portion 220a, and the driven member 240 is connected to the second driving portion 220b. When the first driving portion 220a is attached to the bottom surface of the pen groove 121, and the positioning seat 210 is held at the first position (as Figure 3A shown in Figure 3B FIG. [not shown in the provided text, should be a specific figure number]). When the elastic restoring force of the elastic member 230 is greater than the magnetic attraction force generated between the second magnetic member 221 and the first magnetic member 111, the elastic member 230 drives the driving member 220 to rotate in the pen groove 121, so that the first driving portion 220a moves away from the bottom surface of the pen groove 121, and the second driving portion 220b pushes the positioning seat 210 towards the second position (as
[0032] shown in Figure 3A FIG. [not shown in the provided text, should be a specific figure number]) to slide.
[0032] As Figure 3A shown in Figure 4A FIG. [not shown in the provided text, should be a specific figure number], the positioning seat 210 is held at the first position and is at a first distance from the opening 122 of the pen groove 121. As Figure 4A shown in
[0033] Figure 5A FIG. [not shown in the provided text, should be a specific figure number], the positioning seat 210 slides to the second position and is at a second distance less than the first distance from the opening 122 of the pen groove 121.
[0033] Figure 5A FIG. [not shown in the provided text, should be a specific figure number] is a partial enlarged schematic view of the internal structural configuration of the second body Figure 1A and omits showing a part of the housing (such as the back cover) of the second body 120. Figure 5B FIG. [not shown in the provided text, should be a specific figure number] is an enlarged schematic view of the region R5 Figure 5A Please refer to Figure 5A and Figure 5B In this embodiment, the positioning seat 210 includes a first positioning portion 210a and a second positioning portion 210b, and the driven member 240 is connected to the first positioning portion 210a. In addition, the second positioning portion 210b is connected to the first positioning portion 210a and is located between the first positioning portion 210a and the opening 122 of the pen groove 121.
[0034] Specifically, the stylus 130 passes through the second positioning portion 210b, and the first end 131 of the stylus 130 is inserted into the first positioning portion 210a. In this embodiment, the positioning seat 210 further includes a positioning catch 210c disposed on the first positioning portion 210a, and the positioning catch 210c engages with the first end 131 of the stylus 130 to fix the stylus 130 to the positioning seat 210. For example, the positioning catch 210c can be a spring arm type catch extending from the first positioning portion 210a towards the second positioning portion 210b.
[0035] As Figure 2B with Figure 5B shown, after the second end 132 of the stylus 130 automatically moves out of the pen slot 121, the user can apply force to grasp the second end 132 of the stylus 130 and release the engagement restriction of the positioning catch 210c on the first end 131 of the stylus 130, so as to quickly pull out the stylus 130 from the pen slot 121.
[0036] For example, before retracting the stylus 130 into the pen slot 121, the user must first close the second body 120 onto the first body 110. Then, insert the first end 131 of the stylus 130 into the pen slot 121 and apply force to push the second end 132 in the direction of the opening 122. Specifically, the first end 131 of the stylus 130 first passes through the second positioning portion 210b, then inserts into the first positioning portion 210a, and finally is engaged and fixed to the first positioning portion 210a by the positioning catch 210c.
[0037] Specifically, once the first end 131 of the stylus 130 contacts the first positioning portion 210a, the whole of the positioning seat 210 can be pushed by the stylus 130 and slide in the pen slot 121 in a direction away from the opening 122. Specifically, the positioning seat 210 drives the driving member 220 to rotate in the pen slot 121 through the driven member 240, and makes the second magnetic member 221 rotate towards the first magnetic member 111, so that the magnetic attraction force generated between the second magnetic member 221 and the first magnetic member 111 is greater than the elastic restoring force of the elastic member 230 squeezed by the driving member 220, so as to lock the driving member 220, the driven member 240 and the positioning seat 210, and prevent the driving member 220, the driven member 240 and the positioning seat 210 from malfunctioning.
[0038] In summary, when the second body is closed to the first body, the magnetic attraction force generated between the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member is greater than the elastic restoring force of the compressed elastic member. Therefore, the positioning mechanism can be locked to prevent misoperation of the positioning mechanism. When the second body is unfolded relative to the first body, the magnetic attraction force generated between the second magnetic member and the first magnetic member is weakened to be less than the elastic restoring force of the elastic member, so that the positioning mechanism is actuated under the drive of the elastic restoring force, and at least a part of the stylus is moved out of the pen slot, which is beneficial for the user to quickly extract the stylus. Therefore, the electronic device of the present invention has excellent operation convenience.
[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
