[0059] The detailed features and advantages of the embodiments of the present application are described in detail in the embodiments below, and the contents are sufficient to enable any person skilled in the art to understand the technical content of the embodiments of the present application and to implement them, and according to the contents disclosed in the specification, claims and drawings, any person skilled in the art can easily understand the purposes and advantages related to the present application. The following embodiments further illustrate the points of the present application, but do not limit the scope of the present application in any way.

[0060] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 . Figure 1 is a perspective view of a handheld game console according to the first embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 is Figure 1 an exploded view of the handheld game console in

[0061] In this embodiment, the handheld game console 10, for example, includes a main seat body 100, a support plate 200, two first pivot members 300, a display body 400, and two second pivot members 500.

[0062] In this embodiment, the main seat body 100, for example, includes an assembly part 110 and two handle parts 120. The two handle parts 120 are respectively connected to opposite sides of the assembly part 110. In addition, the assembly part 110 is between the two handle parts 120 and forms a containing groove 150 together with the two handle parts 120. For example, one or more trigger members 121 can be provided on the handle part 120. The trigger member 121 is, for example, a key or a joystick. In this way, the handle part 120 can provide similar functions as a game handle, allowing the user to hold and output signals through trigger members 121 such as keys or joysticks. In addition, circuit components such as a mainboard (not shown) can be contained in the main seat body 100.

[0063] In this embodiment, the support plate 200 has a first pivot side 210 and a second pivot side 220 that are opposite to each other. The first pivot side 210 of the support plate 200 is pivotally connected to the assembly portion 110, for example, via two first pivot members 300. Specifically, the two first pivot members 300 are, for example, damping hinges, and each includes, for example, a first fixing portion 310, a first sleeve portion 320, a first pivot portion 330, a second fixing portion 340, and a first cover portion 350. The first sleeve portion 320 protrudes from one side of the second fixing portion 340. The first pivot portion 330 is inserted through the first sleeve portion 320. The first sleeve portion 320 is rotatably mounted on the first fixing portion 310 via the first pivot portion 330. The first fixing portion 310 is fixed to the assembly portion 110. The second fixing portion 340 is fixed to the first pivot side 210 of the support plate 200. The first cover portion 350 is fixed to the first fixing portion 310 and covers the first fixing portion 310 and a portion of the first pivot portion 330. In other embodiments, the handheld game console may also include only one first pivot member.

[0064] The display body 400 is used, for example, to display images. The display body 400 has a first side 410 and a second side 420 that are opposite each other. The first side 410 is pivotally connected to the second pivot side 220 of the support plate 200, for example, via two second pivot members 500. Specifically, the two second pivot members 500 are, for example, damping hinges, and each includes a third fixing portion 510, a second sleeve portion 520, a second pivot portion 530, a fourth fixing portion 540, and a second cover portion 550. The second sleeve portion 520 protrudes from one side of the third fixing portion 510. The second pivot portion 530 is inserted through the second sleeve portion 520. The fourth fixing portion 540 is rotatably mounted on the second sleeve portion 520 via the second pivot portion 530. The third fixing portion 510 is fixed to the second pivot side 220 of the support plate 200. The fourth fixing portion 540 is fixed to the first side 410 of the display body 400. The second cover portion 550 is fixed to the display body 400 and covers the fourth fixing portion 540 and a portion of the second pivot portion 530. In other embodiments, the handheld game console may also include only one second pivot member.

[0065] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the assembly portion 110 has, for example, two clearance slots 115. The two clearance slots 115 are located, for example, at opposite ends of the assembly portion 110 away from the first pivoting side 210 of the support plate 200 to prevent friction between the display body 400 and the assembly portion 110 when the display body 400 pivots relative to the main base 100. In other embodiments, the assembly portion may not have the clearance slots 115.

[0066] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the display body 400 may have, for example, two clearance slots 430 and two recesses 440. The two clearance slots 430 are located at opposite ends of the first side 410 to prevent friction between the support plate 200 and the display body 400 when pivoting relative to each other. The two recesses 440 are located on the side of the display body 400 proximate to the main base 100 to accommodate a portion of the first pivot portion 330 and a portion of the first cover portion 350 when the display body 400 is folded relative to the main base 100, thereby improving space utilization. In other embodiments, the display body may not have the clearance slots 430 and recesses 440.

[0067] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the diameter D1 of the first sleeve portion 320 is greater than the diameter D2 of the second sleeve portion 520. Thus, although the first pivot member 300 bears a greater weight than the second pivot member 500, the first sleeve portion 320 provides a larger deformation space for the first pivot portion 330, thereby improving the reliability of the first pivot member 300. In other embodiments, the diameter of the first sleeve portion may be less than or equal to the diameter of the second sleeve portion.

[0068] In this embodiment, the distance S1 between the first pivoting side 210 and the second pivoting side 220 of the support plate 200 is smaller than the distance S2 between the first side 410 and the second side 420 of the display body 400. This not only reduces the weight of the handheld game console 10 by reducing the size of the support plate 200, but also reduces vibration when the display body 400 is unfolded.

[0069] In this embodiment, the display body 400 has a first snap-fit ​​structure 411 and a second snap-fit ​​structure 421. The first snap-fit ​​structure 411 and the second snap-fit ​​structure 421 are located on the first side 410 and the second side 420, respectively. The assembly portion 110 of the main body 100 has a third snap-fit ​​structure 111 and a fourth snap-fit ​​structure 112. The third snap-fit ​​structure 111 and the fourth snap-fit ​​structure 112 are located on opposite sides of the assembly portion 110. The first snap-fit ​​structure 411 and the third snap-fit ​​structure 111 have matching concave-convex structures and interlock with each other. The second snap-fit ​​structure 421 and the fourth snap-fit ​​structure 112 have matching concave-convex structures and interlock with each other. The first snap-fit ​​structure 411, the second snap-fit ​​structure 421, the third snap-fit ​​structure 111, and the fourth snap-fit ​​structure 112 facilitate positioning or release of the display body 400 relative to the main body 100. In other embodiments, the display body may not need to have the first snap-fit ​​structure and the second snap-fit ​​structure, and the host base may not need to have the third snap-fit ​​structure and the fourth snap-fit ​​structure.

[0070] The following will describe the operation of the handheld game console 10 of this embodiment. Figure 1 and Figures 3 to 5The display body 400 of this embodiment includes a folded position (such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown) and an expanded position (as Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown).

[0071] First, as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, when the display body 400 is in the folded position, the display body 400 is stacked on one side of the assembly portion 110, for example, on a bottom surface 151 of the accommodating recess 150. In addition, the first snap-fit ​​structure 411 and the second snap-fit ​​structure 421 are respectively engaged with the third snap-fit ​​structure 111 and the fourth snap-fit ​​structure 112.

[0072] Then as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, when the first snap structure 411 and the second snap structure 421 are separated from the third snap structure 111 and the fourth snap structure 112, respectively, the display body 400 can be moved from the folded position to the expanded position via the support plate 200. Specifically, the support plate 200 pivots relative to the main body 100 in a pivot direction R1 via the first pivot member 300, and the display body 400 pivots relative to the support plate 200 in a pivot direction R2 via the second pivot member 500. This allows the first side 410 and the second side 420 of the display body 400 to be selectively raised relative to the main body 100. This allows the user to adjust the height and angle of the display body 400 relative to the main body 100 without being forced to maintain an awkward posture. This can mitigate the adverse effects on the shoulders, neck, and cervical spine.

[0073] Furthermore, after the first side 410 and the second side 420 of the display body 400 are lifted relative to the main base 100, portions of the main base 100 previously shielded by the display body 400 (e.g., the groove bottom 151) are exposed. This allows the cooling fan (not shown) in the main base 100 to draw in more cool air, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the handheld game console.

[0074] Furthermore, since the first pivot member 300 and the second pivot member 500 are damping hinges, after the user stops pushing the support plate 200 or the display body 400, the first pivot member 300 and the second pivot member 500 can provide resistance to position the support plate 200 and the display body 400 at the current angle and height.

[0075] The following examples are provided for illustration purposes only. It should be noted that the following examples share the same component numbers and some of the details as the previous examples, with the same numbers used to represent the same or similar components, and descriptions of the same technical details omitted. For the omitted details, please refer to the previous examples, and the following examples will not be repeated.

[0076] The present invention is not limited to the size of the support plate. Figure 6 . Figure 6 This is an exploded view of a handheld game console according to a second embodiment of the present invention. The handheld game console 10a of this embodiment differs only from the handheld game console 10 of the first embodiment in the dimensions of the support plate 200a. In this embodiment, the distance S1a between the first pivoting side 210a and the second pivoting side 220a of the support plate 200a is substantially equal to the distance S2 between the first side 410 and the second side 420 of the display body 400. In this invention, the term "substantially" encompasses a 5% margin of error. In other words, the distance S1a is within a 5% margin of error of the distance S2.

[0077] In addition, in this embodiment, the damping value of the first pivot member 300 is substantially equal to the damping value of the second pivot member 500. In other words, the damping value of the first pivot member 300 is within the error range of plus or minus 5% of the damping value of the second pivot member 500. Figures 7 to 9 . Figure 7 for Figure 6 Side view of a handheld game console. Figure 8 and Figure 9 for Figure 6 The side view of the display body of the handheld game console in FIG. 4 is shown in FIG. 4. By the above damping value design, when the display body 400 is unfolded, Figure 7 Move the collapsed position to Figure 9 In the process of expanding the position, such as Figure 8 As shown in FIG, the display body 400 and the support plate 200 will pivot at the same time. Figure 8 As shown, the display body 400 is lifted in parallel with the main base 100 to achieve a parallel lifting mode, which further ensures that the display body 400 does not generate friction with the main base 100 when lifted.

[0078] It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to achieving the aforementioned parallel lift mode by setting the damping value of the first pivotal member substantially equal to the damping value of the second pivotal member. In other embodiments, the damping value of the first pivotal member may be different from the damping value of the second pivotal member, and the aforementioned parallel lift mode may be achieved by adjusting the size of the support plate.

[0079] Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to the aforementioned parallel lift mode. In other embodiments, if the support plate adopts the dimensions of the second embodiment, and the damping value of the first pivoting member is less than the damping value of the second pivoting member, the support plate will first pivot relative to the main frame at a certain angle before the display body pivots relative to the support plate. If the damping value of the first pivoting member is greater than the damping value of the second pivoting member, the display body will first pivot relative to the support plate at a certain angle before the support plate pivots relative to the main frame. Furthermore, in other embodiments that do not implement the aforementioned parallel lift mode, a rubber pad may be provided between the display body and the main frame to reduce friction between the display body and the main frame.

[0080] According to the handheld game console disclosed in the above embodiment, the first pivotal side of the support plate is pivotally connected to the assembly portion of the main base, and the first side of the display unit is pivotally connected to the second pivotal side of the support plate. Therefore, the first and second sides of the display unit can be selectively raised relative to the main base, allowing the user to adjust the height and angle of the display unit relative to the main base without being forced to maintain an awkward posture. This can alleviate the adverse effects on the shoulders, neck, and cervical spine.

[0081] Furthermore, after the first and second sides of the display body are lifted relative to the main body, the portion of the main body previously shielded by the display body is exposed, thereby allowing the cooling fan in the main body to draw in more cool air, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the handheld game console.

[0082] Although the present invention is disclosed above with respect to the aforementioned embodiments, they are not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art may make slight changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of patent protection of the present invention shall be determined by the claims attached to this specification.
