Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an electronic device, and more particularly to an electronic device capable of plugging in a storage device. Background Art

[0002] Currently, existing removable solid-state drives (such as M.2 SSDs) are usually plugged into a connector of a computer host via an adapter board. However, in the case of limitations in terms of cost, weight, and system space, this design in the form of an adapter board requires a relatively large configuration space, and thus is less advantageous in use. Moreover, the adapter board will cause problems such as too high impedance value and signal attenuation, and thus will affect the transmission performance of the solid-state drive.

[0003] Therefore, how to propose an electronic device that can solve the above problems is one of the problems that the industry is eager to invest in research and development resources to solve. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, an object of the present invention is to propose an electronic device that can solve the above problems.

[0016] In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the storage device has an inclined surface. The inclined surface of the storage device is configured to squeeze the inclined surface of the elastic member.

[0017] In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the inclined surface of the storage device is guided by the inclined surface of the elastic member. The elastic force also has a component force parallel to the second direction.

[0018] In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the storage device has an inclined surface. The inclined surface is configured to squeeze the elastic member.

[0019] In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the storage device includes a housing, a storage unit, and a cover. The housing includes a bottom plate and a fastening structure connected to the bottom plate. The storage unit is limited between the bottom plate and the fastening structure.

[0027] In summary, in the electronic device of the present invention, by respectively providing guiding structures in the receiving groove of the base and on the storage device, the storage device can be inserted into the receiving groove under the mutual guiding of the guiding structures and directly plugged into the connector in the receiving groove. Therefore, the mutually guiding guiding structures can prevent the connector from being damaged when the storage device is directly plugged into the connector. Moreover, the storage device directly plugged into the connector can omit the adapter board used in the existing removable solid-state drive. Therefore, when the cost, weight, and system space are relatively limited, the storage device of the present invention requires less configuration space and thus has an advantage in use. Not only that, the storage device directly plugged into the connector can also reduce the influence on the transmission performance of the storage device caused by problems such as too high impedance value and signal attenuation caused by using the adapter board.

[0028] The above is only used to elaborate on the problems to be solved by the present invention, the technical means for solving the problems, and the technical effects generated thereby.

[0076] The following will disclose multiple implementation manners of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. For the sake of clarity, many practical details will be described together in the following narrative. However, it should be understood that these practical details are not used to limit the present invention. That is to say, in some implementation manners of the present invention, these practical details are not necessary. In addition, for the purpose of simplifying the drawings, some conventional structures and elements in the prior art will be shown in a simple schematic manner in the drawings.

[0077] Please refer to Figure 1 , which is a perspective view showing an electronic device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 1 shown, the electronic device 100 includes a base 110, a display 120, and a storage device 130. The electronic device 100 is taken as a laptop computer as an example, wherein the base 110 may be a main body of a host computer provided with a keyboard device thereon, and the display 120 may be rotatably connected to the base 110 through, for example, a hinge device, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In practical applications, the electronic device 100 may be other types of electronic products (for example, a tablet computer, a docking station... etc.). The display 120 is configured to cover one side of the base 110. The storage device 130 is disposed on a side of the base 110 away from the display 120, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0078] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 . Figure 2 To show a partially enlarged perspective exploded view of the electronic device 100 in Figure 1 . Figure 3 To show a partially enlarged view of the base 110 in Figure 1 . As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, in this embodiment, the base 110 has a receiving groove 111. The receiving groove 111 is recessed from an outer surface 112 of a side of the base 110 away from the display 120. The storage device 130 is configured to be received in the receiving groove 111. The electronic device 100 further includes a first guiding structure 140 and a second guiding structure 150. The first guiding structure 140 is disposed on the storage device 130. The second guiding structure 150 is disposed on an inner wall 111b of the receiving groove 111 and includes a first guiding portion 151 and a second guiding portion 152. The first guiding portion 151 is configured to guide the first guiding structure 140 to move along a first direction D1 between an entrance 111a of the receiving groove 111 and a first position in the receiving groove 111. The second guiding portion 152 is configured to guide the first guiding structure 140 to move along a second direction D2 between the first position and a second position in the receiving groove 111.

[0079] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 . Figure 4 To show a cross-sectional schematic view of the electronic device 100 in Figure 2 . Figure 5 To show another cross-sectional schematic view of the electronic device 100 in Figure 2 . Figure 6 To show yet another cross-sectional schematic view of the electronic device 100 in Figure 2 . Specifically, in Figure 4In the stage shown, the storage device 130 is located outside the receiving groove 111 and faces the entrance 111a of the receiving groove 111. When from Figure 4 the stage shown progresses to Figure 5 the stage shown, the storage device 130 enters the receiving groove 111 through the entrance 111a of the receiving groove 111 along the first direction D1, and the first guiding structure 140 correspondingly moves from the entrance 111a of the receiving groove 111 to the first position inside the receiving groove 111 along the first direction D1. When from Figure 5 the stage shown progresses to Figure 6 the stage shown, the storage device 130 further moves in the receiving groove 111 along the second direction D2, and the first guiding structure 140 correspondingly moves from the first position inside the receiving groove 111 to the second position inside the receiving groove 111 along the second direction D2. When from Figure 4 the stage shown progresses to Figure 6 the stage shown, the storage device 130 can be installed on the base 110. Conversely, when from Figure 6 the stage shown progresses to Figure 4 the stage shown, the storage device 130 can be detached from the base 110.

[0080] In some embodiments, the second direction D2 is substantially parallel to the outer surface 112 of the side of the base 110 away from the display 120, but the present invention is not limited thereto and can be adjusted flexibly according to actual needs.

[0081] In some embodiments, the first direction D1 is perpendicular to the second direction D2, but the present invention is not limited thereto and can be adjusted flexibly according to actual needs. Correspondingly, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the second guiding structure 150 is substantially L-shaped, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0082] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, in some embodiments, the second guiding structure 150 is a guiding chute, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In practical applications, the second guiding structure 150 can be a guiding rib provided on the inner wall 111b of the receiving groove 111.

[0083] Please refer to Figure 3 together. The base 110 has an opening 111c. The opening 111c is located inside the receiving groove 111. The electronic device 100 further includes a connector 160. The connector 160 is disposed inside the base 110 and is exposed through the opening 111c. As Figure 5 shown, when the first guiding structure 140 is in the first position, the storage device 130 is separated from the connector 160. As Figure 6As shown, when the first guiding structure 140 is in the second position, the storage device 130 is connected to the connector 160. Specifically, the storage device 130 includes a storage unit 133. The storage unit 133 has a plugging portion 133a. The plugging portion 133a is configured to be plugged into the connector 160 when the first guiding structure 140 is in the second position.

[0084] Through the foregoing structural configuration, the storage device 130 can be inserted into the accommodation groove 111 under the mutual guiding of the first guiding structure 140 and the second guiding structure 150, and directly plugged into the connector 160 in the accommodation groove 111. Therefore, the first guiding structure 140 and the second guiding structure 150 can prevent the connector 160 from being damaged when the storage device 130 directly plugs into the connector 160. Moreover, the storage device 130 directly plugged into the connector 160 can omit the adapter board used in existing removable solid-state drives. Therefore, in the case of limited cost, weight, and system space, etc., the storage device 130 of this embodiment requires less configuration space, thus having more advantages in use. Not only that, the storage device 130 directly plugged into the connector 160 can also reduce the influence on the transmission performance of the storage device 130 caused by problems such as too high impedance value and signal attenuation caused by using the adapter board.

[0085] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, in this embodiment, the first guiding portion 151 and the second guiding portion 152 are connected to each other, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In practical applications, as long as the purpose of guiding the first guiding structure 140 can be achieved, the first guiding portion 151 and the second guiding portion 152 can also be separated from each other. For example, the first guiding portion 151 and the second guiding portion 152 can be guiding ribs separately provided on the inner wall 111b of the accommodation groove 111, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0086] In other embodiments, the first guiding structure 140 can be changed to be provided on the inner wall 111b of the accommodation groove 111, and the second guiding structure 150 is provided on the storage device 130. Thus, the first guiding structure 140 and the second guiding structure 150 can also achieve the guiding purpose during the process of assembling the storage device 130 into the accommodation groove 111.

[0087] In some embodiments, the storage device 130 is an M.2 solid-state drive, but the present invention is not limited thereto. It should be noted that the plugging method of the present invention for horizontally plugging the storage device 130 into the connector 160 along the second direction D2 is significantly different from the existing plugging method of the M.2 solid-state drive that first obliquely plugs into the connector and then flattens relative to the connector. Therefore, it can avoid the situation where the connector 160 is easily damaged by the oblique plugging method.

[0088] As Figure 2 andFigure 3 as shown, and with reference to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , in the present embodiment, the storage device 130 includes a latching portion 131c. The latching portion 131c and the insertion portion 133a of the storage unit 133 are located at the same end of the storage device 130. When the first guiding structure 140 is in the second position (i.e., Figure 6 the stage shown), the latching portion 131c is inserted into the opening 111c. That is, the latching portion 131c and the opening 111c are opposite to each other in the first direction D1 at this time. Thereby, the latching portion 131c and the opening 111c can provide an auxiliary guiding function during the insertion of the insertion portion 133a into the connector 160, and can avoid the problem that the insertion portion 133a is damaged due to displacement relative to the connector 160 in the first direction D1.

[0089] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, in the present embodiment, the electronic device 100 further includes a latch member 170. The latch member 170 is movably disposed on the base 110. The storage device 130 has a card slot 131b1. The latch member 170 is configured to engage with the card slot 131b1. Specifically, the latch member 170 is disposed on the outer surface 112 of the base 110 and is configured to move relative to the base 110 along the third direction D3, and thus can selectively protrude into or out of the receiving groove 111. In addition, when the first guiding structure 140 is in the second position (i.e., Figure 6 the stage shown), the latch member 170 and the card slot 131b1 are aligned in the third direction D3. In other words, only when the first guiding structure 140 is in the second position, the latch member 170 can move along the third direction D3 and engage with the card slot 131b1. Thereby, the combination of the latch member 170 and the card slot 131b1 can prevent the insertion portion 133a inserted into the connector 160 from disengaging from the connector 160 along the second direction D2, thereby achieving the effect of improving the insertion stability between the insertion portion 133a and the connector 160.

[0090] Please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 . Figure 7 To show Figure 1 another partial enlarged view of the base 110 in Figure 8 To show Figure 5 a partial enlarged view of Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, in the present embodiment, the electronic device 100 further includes an elastic member 180. The elastic member 180 is disposed in the receiving groove 111. When the first guiding structure 140 is in the second position (i.e., Figure 6In the stage shown, the storage device 130 is separated from the elastic member 180. During the movement of the first guiding structure 140 from the second position to the first position (i.e., from the stage shown in Figure 6 to the stage shown in Figure 5 ), the elastic member 180 is compressed by the storage device 130 to generate an elastic force. The elastic force has a component force parallel to the first direction D1. Thereby, after the storage device 130 moves away from the connector 160 along the second direction D2 and the insertion portion 133a is removed from the connector 160, the storage device 130 will be lifted by the component force of the elastic member 180 parallel to the first direction D1 and partially protrude out of the receiving groove 111, so as to facilitate the user to take out the storage device 130 from the receiving groove 111.

[0091] As Figure 7 shown, in the present embodiment, the elastic member 180 is in the shape of a rib. Both ends of the elastic member 180 are connected to the base 110. In some embodiments, the elastic member 180 and the base 110 are different parts of a single-piece structure, that is, the two are integrally formed, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The portion of the elastic member 180 between its two ends is suspended on the base 110 and can be elastically deformed under force.

[0092] In some embodiments, the material of the elastic member 180 includes plastic, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In practical applications, the material of the elastic member 180 may include metal. For example, the elastic member 180 may be a spring or a spring piece or other elements that can provide elastic force.

[0093] As Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, in the present embodiment, the elastic member 180 has an inclined surface 181. The storage device 130 has an inclined surface 132a. The inclined surface 132a of the storage device 130 is configured to press the inclined surface 181 of the elastic member 180. Thereby, when progressing from the stage shown in Figure 4 to the stage shown in Figure 6 (i.e., the assembly process), and when progressing from the stage shown in Figure 6 to the stage shown in Figure 4 (i.e., the disassembly process), the inclined surface 132a of the storage device 130 will be guided by the inclined surface 181 of the elastic member 180.

[0094] Specifically, since the elastic member 180 has an inclined surface 181, the elastic force generated when it is compressed has not only a component force parallel to the first direction D1 but also a component force parallel to the second direction D2. As described above, when progressing from Figure 6 to Figure 4During the disassembly process, the storage device 130 will be lifted by a component force parallel to the first direction D1 and partially protrude out of the receiving groove 111. At this time, the first guiding structure 140 will move along the first direction D1 from the first position in the receiving groove 111 to the entrance 111a of the receiving groove 111. In contrast, during the assembly process from Figure 4 progressing to Figure 6 , the storage device 130 will be pushed flat by a component force parallel to the second direction D2 so that the plugging portion 133a is plugged into the connector 160. At this time, the first guiding structure 140 will move from the first position in the receiving groove 111 to the second position along the second direction D2.

[0095] Please refer to Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 . Figure 9 To show Figure 2 the perspective view of the storage device 130 in Figure 10 To show Figure 8 the exploded view of the storage device 130 in Figure 11 To show Figure 8 another exploded view of the storage device 130 in. As Figures 9 to 11 shown, in the present embodiment, in addition to the storage unit 133, the storage device 130 further includes a housing 131 and a cover 134. The housing 131 includes a bottom plate 131a and a fastening structure 131d connecting the bottom plate 131a. The bump 132 having an inclined surface 132a is also connected to the bottom plate 131a. The storage unit 133 is limited between the bottom plate 131a and the fastening structure 131d. The cover 134 covers the side of the storage unit 133 away from the bottom plate 131a and is connected to the fastening structure 131d. Thus, the storage device 130 of the present embodiment can achieve the purpose of positioning and fixing the storage unit 133 without using an adapter board.

[0096] Specifically, the housing 131 further includes two side walls 131b. The two side walls 131b are connected to the bottom plate 131a and are opposite to each other. The fastening structure 131d is disposed on the opposite sides of the two side walls 131b facing each other. The first guiding structure 140 is disposed on the opposite sides of the two side walls 131b. That is, the fastening structure 131d is connected to the bottom plate 131a via the side wall 131b. The body of the storage unit 133 is limited between the two side walls 131b. In addition, the housing 131 further includes two retaining walls 131e. The two retaining walls 131e are connected to the bottom plate 131a and are opposite to each other. The body of the storage unit 133 is also limited between the two retaining walls 131e. The insertion portion 133a of the storage unit 133 passes over one of the retaining walls 131e. Thus, the two side walls 131b and the two retaining walls 131e can limit the movement of the storage unit 133 relative to the bottom plate 131a in any direction parallel to the bottom plate 131a. In addition, the fastening structure 131d can limit the movement of the storage unit 133 away from the bottom plate 131a.

[0097] As Figure 11 shown, in this embodiment, both ends of each retaining wall 131e are respectively connected to the two side walls 131b, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In practical applications, the two side walls 131b and the two retaining walls 131e may be separated from each other.

[0098] As Figure 11 shown, in this embodiment, the fastening structure 131d is a snap block. The cover 134 includes a hook structure 134a. The hook structure 134a is engaged with the snap block. Thus, in addition to limiting the storage unit 133 on the bottom plate 131a so that the storage unit 133 and the housing 131 are fixed to each other, the fastening structure 131d can also be engaged with the hook structure 134a of the cover 134 to fix the housing 131 and the cover 134 to each other.

[0099] As Figure 11 shown, in this embodiment, the storage device 130 further includes a locking member 135. The bottom plate 131a has a locking hole 131a1. The locking member 135 passes through the cover 134 and is locked to the locking hole 131a1. Thus, the separation of the engaged fastening structure 131d and the hook structure 134a can be prevented. For example, the locking member 135 is a screw, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0100] As can be clearly seen from the above detailed description of the specific embodiments of the present invention, in the electronic device of the present invention, by respectively providing guiding structures in the receiving groove of the base and on the storage device, the storage device can be inserted into the receiving groove under the mutual guiding of the guiding structures and directly plugged into the connector in the receiving groove. Therefore, the mutually guiding structures can prevent the connector from being damaged when the storage device is directly plugged into the connector. Moreover, the storage device directly plugged into the connector can omit the adapter board used in the existing removable solid-state drives. Therefore, when the cost, weight, and system space are relatively limited, the storage device of the present invention requires less configuration space and thus has more advantages in use. Not only that, the storage device directly plugged into the connector can also reduce the impact on the transmission performance of the storage device caused by problems such as excessive impedance value and signal attenuation caused by using the adapter board.

[0101] Although the present invention has been disclosed above in the form of embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the concept and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention shall be determined by the scope defined by the claims.
