Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic device technology, and in particular to an electronic device with replaceable internal components. Background Technology

[0002] Generally, traditional electronic devices (such as headphones) mostly have built-in batteries, which are not easily replaceable. Therefore, how to make electronic devices replaceable in terms of internal components and easy to operate is one of the problems that this field seeks to solve. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Based on this, this application provides an electronic device with replaceable internal components, which allows for convenient replacement of internal components.

[0004] This application discloses an electronic device with replaceable internal components, comprising a first structure, a second structure, and a fixing component. The first structure includes a first housing. The second structure is detachably connected to the first structure and includes a first engaging portion. The fixing component is disposed on the first structure and includes a first cam, a second cam, and an adjusting element. The second cam includes a second engaging portion. The adjusting element has opposing first and second ends, the first end being exposed outside the first housing, and the second end passing through the first and second cams to extend into the inside of the first housing. When the first structure is connected to the second structure, the first engaging portion engages with the second engaging portion, thus presenting a first state. During the transition from the first state to the second state, the adjusting element rotates, causing the first cam to rotate relative to the second cam, thereby pushing the second cam away from the first cam along the axial direction of the adjusting element, thereby releasing the engagement between the second engaging portion and the first engaging portion.

[0005] In one embodiment of this application, the first cam is fixed to the adjusting element, and the first cam is located between the second cam and the first end.

[0006] In one embodiment of this application, the first cam has a first surface away from the first end and includes a first protrusion protruding from the first surface, the second cam has a second surface facing the first surface and includes a second protrusion protruding from the second surface, the first protrusion has two first inclined surfaces and a first top surface located between the two first inclined surfaces, and the second protrusion has two second inclined surfaces and a second top surface located between the two second inclined surfaces.

[0007] In one embodiment of this application, in the first state described above, the first surface corresponds to the second top surface, and the second surface corresponds to the first top surface.

[0008] In one embodiment of this application, during the transition from the first state to the second state, the first top surface of the first protrusion moves from the second surface to the second top surface via the corresponding second inclined surface.

[0009] In one embodiment of this application, the aforementioned fixing component further includes an elastic element, which is sleeved on the shaft portion of the adjusting element and connected to the side of the second cam opposite to the second surface; when the first protrusion corresponds to and pushes the second protrusion, the second cam compresses the elastic element; when the first protrusion and the second protrusion are misaligned, the second cam resets by elastic force.

[0010] In one embodiment of this application, the aforementioned fixing assembly further includes a first support frame, a second support frame, and a fixing part. The first support frame is connected to the inner side of the first housing. The second support frame is disposed on the first support frame and includes a groove. The fixing part is disposed in the groove, one end of an elastic element is connected to the fixing part, the other end of the elastic element is connected to a second cam, and the second end of an adjusting element is inserted into the fixing part.

[0011] In one embodiment of this application, the second cam described above has a side surface surrounding the second surface, and the second engaging portion protrudes from the side surface.

[0012] In one embodiment of this application, the first housing includes an inner pivot parallel to the shaft of the adjusting element, and the second cam has a side surface surrounding the second surface and includes a pivot portion connected to the side surface, with the pivot inserted into the pivot portion.

[0013] In one embodiment of this application, the first engaging portion has a first oblique angle and the second engaging portion has a second oblique angle. During the transition from the second state to the first state, the first engaging portion abuts against the second oblique angle through the first oblique angle, thereby pushing the second cam.

[0014] In one embodiment of this application, the electronic device further includes a battery module, the second structure includes a base, the battery module is disposed on the base, and the first engaging portion protrudes from the wall of the base.

[0015] In one embodiment of this application, the first structure further includes a second housing, the first housing being assembled to the second housing and forming an opening, and the second structure further includes an outer casing member, which is located in the opening in a first state.

[0016] Based on the above, in the electronic device with replaceable internal components of this application, by rotating the adjusting element and causing the first cam to rotate relative to the second cam, thereby pushing the second cam away from the first cam along the axial direction of the adjusting element, the engagement between the second engaging part and the first engaging part is released, thus allowing the second structure to be completely disengaged from the first structure. In this way, the user can easily replace the components on the second structure without affecting the product's appearance.

[0017] To make the above features and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description

Figure 2A yes Figure 1 A perspective view of an electronic device with replaceable internal components. Figure 2B yes Figure 2A A partially enlarged schematic diagram of an electronic device with replaceable internal components. Figure 3 yes Figure 1 A perspective view of the replaceable internal components of the electronic device from another angle. It should be noted that... Figure 2A The shell in the image is drawn with dashed lines to show its outer contour, clearly indicating the internal structure.

[0031] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The replaceable internal component electronic device 100 of this embodiment includes a first structure 110, a second structure 120, and a fixing component 130. In this embodiment, the replaceable internal component electronic device 100 is, for example, an earphone, the size of which can be adjusted appropriately according to actual needs and is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the replaceable internal component electronic device 100 may also be a portable speaker, and this application does not limit it to this.

[0032] In this embodiment, the first structure 110 includes a first housing 111 and a second housing 112. The first housing 111 is assembled to the second housing 112 and forms an opening 113. The second structure 120 also includes an outer shell 123. Figure 2AIn the first state shown, the housing 123 is located at the opening 113. The first housing 111, the second housing 112, and the housing 123 form the exterior surface of the electronic device 100 with replaceable internal components.

[0033] In detail, in this embodiment, the second structure 120 is detachably connected to the first structure 110. The second structure 120 can be moved into the opening 113 to connect with the first structure 110, or moved out of the opening 113 to separate from the first structure 110. Specifically, the second structure 120 includes a first engaging portion 121. The fixing assembly 130 is disposed on the first structure 110 and includes a first cam 131, a second cam 132, and an adjusting element 133. The second cam 132 includes a second engaging portion 1321. Here, the adjusting element 133 is, for example, a screw, used to drive the first cam 131 and the second cam 132 to actuate, but this application is not limited thereto.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 2B In this embodiment, when the first structure 110 is connected to the second structure 120, the first engaging part 121 engages with the second engaging part 1321, and is in the first state.

[0035] In one embodiment, the first cam 131 and the second cam 132 are, for example, injection molded plastic, and the material is, for example, polyoxymethylene (POM), but not limited thereto. In another embodiment, the first cam 131 and the second cam 132 are, for example, injection molded metal powder, and the material is, for example, alloy steel (SKD11), but not limited thereto.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 3 In this embodiment, the first end E1 of the adjustment element 133 is exposed on the outer side D1 of the first housing 111 to facilitate user operation in adjusting the adjustment element 133, but this is not a limitation.

[0037] Figure 4A and Figure 4B yes Figure 2A A schematic diagram illustrating the operation of an electronic device with replaceable internal components. It should be noted that... Figure 4A and Figure 4B Irrelevant structures have been omitted to facilitate the display of the required components.

[0038] In detail, Figure 2B The first state transition shown is to Figure 4A In the second state shown, the adjusting element 133 is rotated to drive the first cam 131 to rotate relative to the second cam 132, thereby pushing the second cam 132 away from the first cam 131 along the axial direction N1 of the adjusting element 133, so as to release the engagement relationship between the second engaging part 1321 and the first engaging part 121.

[0039] In this embodiment, after the engagement between the second engaging portion 1321 and the first engaging portion 121 is released, as follows: Figure 4B As shown, the second structure 120 can be completely separated from the first structure 110.

[0040] In the above configuration, the user can rotate the adjusting element 133, for example, by 90 degrees, but is not limited thereto. Since the adjusting element 133 is fixed to the first cam 131, the adjusting element 133 can drive the first cam 131 to rotate by 90 degrees as well. As a result, the first cam 131 rotates to push the second cam 132, causing the second cam 132 to move away from the first cam 131 along the axial direction N1 of the adjusting element 133, thereby releasing the engagement between the second engaging part 1321 and the first engaging part 121, allowing the second structure 120 to separate from the first structure 110, achieving the effect of quick disassembly.

[0041] In this way, users can easily replace components on the second structure 120, such as the battery module 140, to achieve the purpose of easily replacing the battery module 140 of the electronic device 100 with replaceable internal components without affecting the appearance of the product.

[0042] In detail, Figure 2B In the first state shown, the first engaging portion 121 and the second engaging portion 1321 interfere with each other in a horizontal direction perpendicular to the axial direction N1. In this embodiment, the heights of the first protrusion C1 and the second protrusion C2 need to be greater than the height at which the first engaging portion 121 and the second engaging portion 1321 interfere with each other, so that when the second protrusion C2 is pushed by the first protrusion C1, it can drive the second engaging portion 1321 to completely disengage from the first engaging portion 121, thereby releasing the interference state.

Figure 6 yes Figure 1 Disassembly diagram of an electronic device with replaceable internal components. Figure 7 yes Figure 6 A three-dimensional schematic diagram of the first and second cams. It should be noted that... Figure 5 Unrelated structures such as earplugs have been omitted to facilitate the display of the required components.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 5 In this embodiment, the adjusting element 133 includes a shaft portion A1 and has opposing first ends E1 and second ends E2.

[0045] In this embodiment, the first housing 111 includes a pivot B1 located on the inner side D2, the pivot B1 being parallel to the shaft portion A1, the second cam 132 having a side surface S3 surrounding the second surface S2 and including a pivot portion B2 connected to the side surface S3, the pivot B1 being inserted into the pivot portion B2 to restrict the rotation of the second cam 132.

[0046] In this embodiment, the adjusting element 133 is inserted into the hole T1 of the first housing 111. Specifically, the second end E2 of the adjusting element 133 passes through the hole T1, the first cam 131 and the second cam 132 to extend into the inner side D2 of the first housing 111.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 6 In this embodiment, the second structure 120 includes a base 122, on which the battery module 140 of the replaceable internal components of the electronic device 100 is disposed. A first engaging portion 121 protrudes from the wall surface W1 of the base 122. A second engaging portion 1321 protrudes from the side surface S3 of the second cam 132. Here, the second engaging portion 1321 is, for example, two snap-fit ​​structures, and the first engaging portion 121 is, for example, two snap-fit ​​structures corresponding to the second engaging portion 1321, to be suitable for engaging with each other. However, in other embodiments, the number of engaging portions may be appropriately adjusted as needed, and this application is not limited thereto.

[0048] In this embodiment, the fixing assembly 130 further includes an elastic element 134, a first support frame 135, a second support frame 136, and a fixing part 137. The elastic element 134 is sleeved on the shaft portion A1. Here, the elastic element 134 is, for example, a spring, and the fixing part 137 is, for example, a nut, but is not limited thereto.

[0049] In this embodiment, the first support frame 135 is connected to the inner side D2 of the first housing 111. The second support frame 136 is disposed on the first support frame 135 and includes a groove 1361. The fixing part 137 is disposed in the groove 1361, one end of the elastic member 134 is connected to the fixing part 137, and the other end of the elastic member 134 is connected to the side of the second cam 132 opposite to the second surface S2. The second end E2 of the adjusting element 133 is inserted into the fixing part 137.

[0050] In this embodiment, when the first protrusion C1 corresponds to and pushes the second protrusion C2, the second cam 132 moves upward and compresses the elastic element 134. When the first protrusion C1 and the second protrusion C2 are misaligned, the second cam 132 resets by elastic force.

[0051] Furthermore, when the first engaging portion 121 of the second structure 120 is completely separated from the second engaging portion 1321 of the second cam 132, the user can rotate the adjusting element 133 to reset the first cam 131. Since the first cam 131 no longer pushes against the second cam 132, the second cam 132 can be reset by the elastic force of the elastic element 134, so that the first protrusion C1 does not correspond to the second protrusion C2.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 In this embodiment, the first cam 131 is located between the second cam 132 and the first end E1. The shaft portion A1 of the adjusting element 133 is non-cylindrical; for example, the shaft portion A1 has a plane F1. Conversely, the first cam 131 has a through hole 1311, which is a non-circular hole; for example, the through hole 1311 has a plane F2. Thus, the first cam 131 and the adjusting element 133 are fixed to each other and can rotate synchronously.

[0053] In this embodiment, the first cam 131 has a first surface S1 away from the first end E1 and includes a first protrusion C1 protruding from the first surface S1. The second cam 132 has a second surface S2 facing the first surface S1 and includes a second protrusion C2 protruding from the second surface S2. Here, the number of first protrusion C1 and second protrusion C2 is the same, and the number of first protrusion C1 and second protrusion C2 shown are two each, but this is not a limitation.

[0054] In this embodiment, the first protrusion C1 has two first inclined surfaces C12 and a first top surface C11 located between the two first inclined surfaces C12, and the second protrusion C2 has two second inclined surfaces C22 and a second top surface C21 located between the two second inclined surfaces C22.

[0055] In this embodiment, Figure 2B In the first state shown, the first surface S1 corresponds to the second top surface C21, and the second surface S2 corresponds to the first top surface C11. Figure 2B The first state transition shown is to Figure 4A During the second state process shown, the first top surface C11 of the first protrusion C1 moves from the second surface S2 through the corresponding second inclined surface C22 to the second top surface C21.

[0056] The following explanation addresses the user's intention to reassemble the second structure back into the first structure.

[0057] Figure 8A yes Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the operation of an electronic device with replaceable internal components. Figure 8B yes Figure 8A A partially enlarged schematic diagram of the electronic device with replaceable internal components. Please refer to... Figure 8A and Figure 8B The first engaging portion 121 has a first oblique angle L1, and the second engaging portion 1321 has a second oblique angle L2.

[0058] exist Figure 4B The second state transition shown is to Figure 2B During the first state shown, the first engaging part 121 abuts against the second oblique angle L2 via the first oblique angle L1. Figure 8B The second cam 132 is pushed upward until the second engaging part 1321 is separated from the first engaging part 121. At this time, the first engaging part 121 no longer pushes against the second cam 132. The second cam 132 is reset by the elastic force of the elastic member 134, so that the first engaging part 121 and the second engaging part 1321 can quickly engage and complete the positioning.

[0059] In summary, in the electronic device with replaceable internal components of this application, the rotating adjustment element drives the first cam to rotate relative to the second cam, thereby pushing the second cam away from the first cam along the axial direction of the adjustment element. This releases the engagement between the second engaging portion and the first engaging portion, allowing the second structure to disengage from the first structure. In this way, the user can easily replace components on the second structure, such as a battery module, achieving the goal of easily replacing the battery module of the electronic device without affecting the product's appearance.

[0060] Although this application has been disclosed above with reference to embodiments, it is not intended to limit this application. For those skilled in the art, some modifications and refinements can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this patent application shall be determined by the appended claims.
