[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of support devices, in particular to a support device, an input device, an electronic device and a host. BACKGROUND
[0002] The use of electronic devices has been integrated into all aspects of life, and more and more users pay attention to the light and thin design and portability of electronic devices. For example, in the use of a tablet, in addition to the excellent touch screen input method, the user can also electrically connect the keyboard and other external input devices with the tablet to meet the use requirements of different scenes and improve the input efficiency and interactivity of the electronic device.
[0003] At present, the connection between the input device and the host is usually realized by relying on a support device to fix and support. Although this design can meet the needs of users to flexibly adjust according to the use habits to a certain extent, there are still many problems in actual use. For example, during horizontal or vertical use, the stability of the support device is insufficient, and the support device is prone to shaking or falling, which greatly affects the user's experience. In addition, some support devices with relatively reliable structures are often large in size, heavy in weight and complex in design, which not only is not conducive to the light and thin design of the electronic device, but also weakens the portability thereof.
[0004] Therefore, the support device and the electronic device in the prior art are difficult to balance the design requirements of support reliability and lightness and simplicity. CONTENT OF THE INVENTION
[0005] The support device, the input device, the electronic device and the host provided by the embodiments of the present application solve the problem that the support device and the electronic device in the prior art are difficult to balance the design requirements of support reliability and lightness and simplicity.
[0006] A first aspect of the embodiments of the present application provides a support device for supporting a host. The support device comprises a plurality of support plates and a first magnetic attraction assembly. Adjacent two support plates in the plurality of support plates are rotationally connected. The plurality of support plates comprises a first support plate.
[0007] The first magnetic attraction assembly is fixedly arranged on the first support plate and is used for being attracted to a first magnetic attraction assembly of the host, so that the front surface of the first support plate is in contact with and is fixedly attracted to the back surface of the host. In addition, the first magnetic attraction assembly comprises a plurality of first magnetic attraction pieces. The plurality of first magnetic attraction pieces are arranged in a plane perpendicular to the thickness direction of the first support plate. At least part of the plurality of first magnetic attraction pieces are set as multipurpose magnetic attraction pieces. The multipurpose magnetic attraction pieces are arranged in a preset magnetic attraction area of the first support plate, so that the multipurpose magnetic attraction pieces can be attracted to the first magnetic attraction assembly in the host in a horizontal placement state and can be attracted to the first magnetic attraction assembly in the host in a vertical placement state.
[0008] The support device provided by the embodiment of the application can support the host computer, so that the use angle of the host computer is relatively flexible, and the use requirements of different scenes can be met. The support device comprises a plurality of support plates and a first magnetic attraction assembly, wherein the first magnetic attraction assembly is fixedly arranged on the first support plate and is used for being magnetically attracted to a first magnetically attracted assembly of the host computer, that is, when the host computer is supported, the first support plate and the host computer can interact to generate sufficient attraction force, so that the front surface of the first support plate is in contact with and is fixedly attracted to the back surface of the host computer, and the reliability of the support device when the host computer is fixedly supported is ensured.
[0009] The first magnetic attraction assembly comprises a plurality of first magnetic attraction pieces, and at least part of the plurality of first magnetic attraction pieces are arranged as multiplexed magnetic attraction pieces and are located in a preset magnetic attraction area of the first support plate, so that the part of the first magnetic attraction pieces can be attracted to the first magnetically attracted assembly in the host computer in the horizontal placement state and the vertical placement state, and play a role in fixing and supporting. That is, the first magnetic attraction pieces in the first magnetic attraction assembly can be partially multiplexed and magnetically attracted to the corresponding first magnetically attracted assembly when the host computer is placed horizontally or vertically, so as to position and fix the host computer, reduce or avoid the host computer from shaking or shifting when placed horizontally or vertically, improve the stability and reliability of the support, and meet different use requirements of users.
[0010] Further, in the horizontal placement state and the vertical placement state, at least part of the first magnetic attraction pieces in the first magnetic assembly can be multiplexed, without the need to arrange two sets of completely independent magnetic attraction schemes for the horizontal placement state and the vertical placement state, so that the number of the first magnetic attraction pieces can be reduced, thereby reducing the weight of the support device and realizing the design of lightness, thinness and portability. In addition, the space occupied by the first magnetic assembly in the first support plate is reduced, the space utilization rate can be improved, sufficient space can be provided for the arrangement of other devices, and the design of lightness, thinness and portability of the electronic device can be realized.
[0011] Further, the support device and the host computer are fixedly connected through the principle of magnetic attraction, without the need to increase other structures (such as buckles), so that the structure and appearance of the electronic device are more simple, the operation is more simple, and to some extent, the weight of the electronic device can be reduced, and the design of lightness, thinness and portability can be realized.
[0012] On the other hand, the support device and the host computer are provided with reliable magnetic attraction, can fix and wrap the host computer, can provide physical protection for the host computer, prevent the host computer from being scratched, collided and damaged by falling in daily use, and can also enhance the functionality of the electronic device, for example, the keyboard, touchpad and the like are configured, and the use experience of the user is improved.
[0013] In conclusion, the support device provided by the embodiments of the present application can realize the thinness and portability design of the electronic device on the basis of reliable support, can also provide protection for the electronic device and enhance the functionality of the electronic device, and further improve the user experience.
[0014] In a possible implementation, the plurality of first magnetic attraction members in the first magnetic attraction assembly are arranged in an array to form a first magnetic attraction array.
[0015] By using the above scheme, the first magnetic attraction members in the first magnetic attraction assembly can be arranged in an array, and the generated attraction force can uniformly act on the host, thereby improving the support stability of the support device. Moreover, the first magnetic attraction members in the first magnetic attraction array located in the preset magnetic attraction region are multiplexed magnetic attraction members, which can ensure reliable support while the attraction force is more concentrated, and is conducive to reducing the weight of the first magnetic attraction members, realizing thinness and portability design.
[0016] In a possible implementation, the plurality of first magnetic attraction members in the first magnetic attraction assembly are arranged in an array around the first central axis, wherein the first central axis is located in the preset magnetic attraction region and is parallel to the thickness direction of the first support plate, and the point on the front surface of the first support plate through which the first central axis passes is a magnetic attraction center point.
[0017] In a possible implementation, the angle at which the plurality of first magnetic attraction members are arranged in an array around the first central axis is a multiple of 90 degrees. In this way, at least part of the first magnetic attraction members can be attracted to the first magnetic attraction assembly in the host in the horizontal placement state and the vertical placement state, and the structure is compact, occupies small space, the attraction force is relatively concentrated, and the fixing reliability is high.
[0018] In a possible implementation, the first magnetic attraction array is annular; or the first magnetic attraction array is cruciform to form two first magnetic attraction groups perpendicular to each other, wherein the first magnetic attraction members in one of the first magnetic attraction groups are arranged along the length direction of the first support plate, and the first magnetic attraction members in the other first magnetic attraction group are arranged along the width direction of the first support plate.
[0019] By using the above scheme, the first magnetic attraction array is arranged in an annular shape, which can concentrate and focus the magnetic field, generate a stronger magnetic attraction force than ordinary magnetic attraction members, and the magnetic field is distributed relatively uniformly in the annular path with small intensity variation, which is conducive to improving the stability of the magnetic field. On the other hand, the layout flexibility of the magnetic attraction members can be improved, more multiplexed magnetic attraction members can be arranged, thereby reducing the weight, realizing thinness, and adapting to the stacking changes of the internal space of the first support plate and the host (corresponding to the first magnetic attraction members), which is conducive to saving the internal space.
[0020] When the first magnetic attraction array is in a cross shape, it is easier to layout the multiplexed magnetic attraction pieces when switching between the vertical placement state and the horizontal placement state, so as to reduce the weight, realize thinning, and the cross-shaped layout occupies less space, which is beneficial to save the internal space of the electronic device (for example, the host) and improve the space utilization of the host.
[0021] In a possible implementation, the ring shape is a circle, or the ring shape is an even-sided polygon, and the polygon is a regular polygon.
[0022] By using the above scheme, more multiplexed magnetic attraction pieces can be arranged in the preset magnetic attraction area of the first support plate, so as to reduce the number of first magnetic attraction pieces, realize stable switching between the vertical placement state and the horizontal placement state, and facilitate reducing the overall weight of the support device. In addition, the circular first magnetic attraction array can generate a strong and uniform magnetic field in the preset magnetic attraction area, can reduce the influence of the magnetic field on the surrounding devices, can also concentrate the magnetic field in a limited space, and reduces the volume and weight of the magnet. The even-sided polygonal first magnetic attraction array can generate a complex magnetic field shape, reduce the leakage of the external magnetic field, realize efficient magnetic field utilization, improve the stability and uniformity thereof, and the even-sided polygon can realize precise control of the magnetic field.
[0023] In a possible implementation, the polygon is a rectangle, and two groups of opposite sides perpendicular to each other in the rectangle are parallel to the length direction and the width direction of the first support plate.
[0024] By using the above scheme, the rectangular first magnetic attraction array can better adapt to the shape of the host on the basis of improving the stability and uniformity of the magnetic field, and reduce the occupation of the internal space of the host.
[0025] In a possible implementation, the first magnetic attraction array is located in the preset magnetic attraction area as a whole.
[0026] In a possible implementation, the front surface of the first support plate has a horizontal attraction center point and a vertical attraction center point, the horizontal attraction center point overlaps with the center point of the host when the host is in the horizontal placement state and arranged on the first support plate, and the vertical attraction center point overlaps with the center point of the host when the host is in the vertical placement state and arranged on the first support plate. The vertical attraction center point is located on a straight line where the center point of the front surface of the first support plate and the horizontal attraction center point are located, and the horizontal attraction center point and the vertical attraction center point are located in the preset magnetic attraction area.
[0027] According to the scheme, the preset magnetic attraction area of the multiplex magnetic attraction piece is determined according to the vertical suction center point and the horizontal suction center point, so that the multiplex magnetic attraction piece on the first support plate can stably attract and fix the host computer in the horizontal placement state and can stably attract and fix the host computer in the vertical placement state, thereby facilitating to ensure the structural stability of the support device when supporting and fixing the host computer, enabling the user to select an arbitrary angle to achieve stable hovering, and improving the user experience.
[0028] Further, due to the size difference of the host computer and the difference in the use angle, the vertical suction center point is located on the straight line where the center point of the front face of the first support plate and the horizontal suction center point are connected, so that the user can obtain a stable use angle experience (such as 120 degrees) when using the host computer in the vertical placement state. That is, the appropriate position of the vertical suction center point can be determined based on the size of the host computer and the comfortable vertical screen use angle of the user, and then the arrangement area of the multiplex magnetic attraction piece is determined based on the vertical suction center point and the horizontal suction center point, to ensure the structural stability of the support device when supporting and fixing the host computer.
[0029] In a possible implementation, the magnetic attraction center point is on the line connecting the horizontal suction center point and the vertical suction center point, which is conducive to uniformly arranging the first magnetic attraction assembly and generating a uniformly distributed magnetic field, thereby improving the reliability of the support device.
[0030] In a possible implementation, when the host computer in the horizontal placement state is installed on the first support plate, the first support area of the first support plate is in contact with the first host area of the host computer, and at least part of the first magnetic attraction pieces in the first magnetic attraction assembly are attracted by the first magnetic attraction assembly.
[0031] When the host computer in the vertical placement state is installed on the first support plate, the second support area of the first support plate is in contact with the second host area of the host computer, and at least part of the first magnetic attraction pieces in the first magnetic attraction assembly are attracted by the first magnetic attraction assembly.
[0032] The area where the first support area and the second support area overlap is a support overlap area, and the preset magnetic attraction area is located in the support overlap area.
[0033] According to the scheme, the preset magnetic attraction area is arranged in the area overlapping the first support plate in the horizontal placement state and the vertical placement state, that is, in the support overlap area, so that the first magnetic attraction assembly can generate uniform magnetic attraction force for different states of the host computer, thereby improving the reliability of the support device.
[0034] In a possible implementation, the area where the first host area and the second host area overlap is a host overlap area, and at least part of the first magnetic attraction pieces of the first magnetic attraction assembly are arranged in the host overlap area.
[0035] When the host is installed on the first support plate, the preset magnetic attraction area is located in the region of the support overlap region that is in contact with the host overlap region.
[0036] With the above scheme, the host overlap region is arranged opposite to the support overlap region, so that the preset magnetic attraction area can generate reliable magnetic attraction force for the region where the center of gravity of the host is located, thereby improving the reliability of the support device.
[0037] In a possible implementation, the support overlap region is a second support region, and when the host is installed on the first support plate in the horizontal placement state, the preset magnetic attraction area is located in the region of the support overlap region that is in contact with the second host region.
[0038] In a possible implementation, the host has a central region along the length direction thereof, and a central point of the host is located in the central region. When the host is arranged on the first support plate in the vertical placement state, and the vertical attraction central point on the first support plate is located at the central point of the front face of the first support plate, the support overlap region is in contact with the central region, and the second host region is the central region. When the host is arranged on the first support plate in the vertical placement state, and the vertical attraction central point on the first support plate is located at the horizontal attraction central point of the front face of the first support plate, the region of the second host region that overlaps the central region is a sub-host overlap region, and the region of the support overlap region that is in contact with the sub-host overlap region is a first sub-support overlap region. When the host is arranged on the first support plate in the horizontal placement state, the region of the first sub-support overlap region that is in contact with the sub-host overlap region is a second sub-support overlap region.
[0039] The preset magnetic attraction area is located in the second sub-support overlap region, and the vertical attraction central point is located on the line connecting the central point and the horizontal attraction central point of the front face of the first support plate. With the above structure, the area of the preset magnetic attraction area is smaller, that is, the layout space of the first magnetic attraction assembly is smaller, so the layout is concentrated, the magnetic attraction piece can have better adsorption effect, thereby improving the support reliability of the support device. Moreover, the more concentrated preset magnetic attraction area can form more stable and firm magnetic attraction force, thereby ensuring the stability of the user in the vertical placement state at different angles (for example, 120 degrees) hovering. The different use requirements of the user are met, and the reliability of the support device is improved.
[0040] In a possible implementation, all the first magnetic attraction pieces of the first magnetic attraction assembly are arranged as multiplexed magnetic attraction pieces.
[0041] With the above scheme, all the first magnetic attraction pieces of the first magnetic attraction assembly in the horizontal placement state can be multiplexed as magnetic attraction pieces in the vertical placement state, so that the number of magnetic attraction pieces in the first support plate can be reduced, the weight is reduced, the internal space is saved, and the thin and light design of the support device and the electronic equipment is facilitated.

The second part is provided with a bearing piece in a strip structure at a position away from the first part, one side of the bearing piece has an inwardly recessed positioning groove, and the positioning groove is used for positioning the host computer and contacting the bottom of the host computer.
[0047] The support device further includes a second magnetic attraction assembly and a second magnetically attracted assembly, the second magnetic attraction assembly is fixedly arranged on the bearing piece, and the second magnetically attracted assembly is fixedly arranged on the base. When the first support plate is rotated to a preset angle position at which a first included angle between the front surface of the first support plate and the upper surface of the base away from the second support plate is the preset angle, the second magnetic attraction assembly and the second magnetically attracted assembly are attracted, so that the other side of the bearing piece contacts and is attracted and fixed to the upper surface of the base.

[0069] When the host is in a horizontal or vertical position, the preset magnetic attraction area contacts the preset magnetic attraction area, and the reused magnetic attraction component is attracted to the reused magnetic attraction component.
[0070] By adopting the above solution, at least a portion of the first magnetically attracted components within the host unit are reused magnetically attracted components. That is, when the host unit is placed horizontally or vertically, at least a portion of the first magnetically attracted components can be reused. This reduces the number of first magnetically attracted components within the host unit, reducing weight and saving internal space, which is beneficial for the lightweight design of the support device and electronic equipment.

[0073] By adopting the above solution, the first magnetically attracted array inside the host can generate a uniform magnetic force, which can more firmly attract the device and improve the support stability. Furthermore, the first magnetically attracted array located in the preset magnetically attracted area is a reused magnetic component, which can concentrate the attraction force while ensuring the reliability of the support. This helps to reduce the weight of the first magnetically attracted component and achieve a lightweight and portable design.

[0083] In one possible implementation, multiple first magnetically attracted components are arranged in an array to form a first magnetically attracted array.
[0084] By adopting the above solution, the first magnetically attracted array inside the host can generate a uniform magnetic force, which can more firmly attract the device and improve the support stability. Furthermore, the first magnetically attracted array located in the preset magnetically attracted area is a reused magnetically attracted component, which can ensure the reliability of the support while concentrating the attraction force, thus reducing the weight of the first magnetically attracted component and achieving a lightweight and portable design.
[0085] In one possible implementation, multiple first magnetically attracted components are arranged in an array around a central axis. The central axis is located in a predetermined magnetically attracted area and is parallel to the thickness direction of the host.

[0087] By adopting the above scheme, the first magnetically attracted array is arranged in a ring, which can concentrate and focus the magnetic field, thus improving the stability of the magnetic field. On the other hand, it can improve the flexibility of the layout of the first magnetically attracted component, allowing for the arrangement of more reusable magnetically attracted components, thereby reducing weight, achieving a thinner and lighter design, and adapting to the stacking changes of the internal space of the host, which is beneficial for saving internal space.
[0088] When the first magnetically attracted array is in a cross shape, it is easier to reuse the magnetically attracted components when switching between vertical and horizontal placement, thereby reducing weight and achieving a thinner and lighter design. In addition, the cross-shaped layout occupies less space, which helps to save internal space and improve the space utilization of the host.

The overlapping area between the first host area and the second host area is called the host overlapping area, and the pre-defined magnetically attracted area is located within the host overlapping area.
[0090] In one possible implementation, all the first magnetically attracted components in the first magnetically attracted assembly are configured as multiplexed magnetically attracted components.
[0091] By adopting the above solution, all the first magnetically attracted components of the first magnetically attracted assembly in the horizontally placed state can be reused as magnetically attracted components in the vertically placed state. This can reduce the number of magnetically attracted components in the host, reduce weight, save internal space, and facilitate the thinner and lighter design of the host and electronic devices.
[0092] A sixth aspect of this application provides an electronic device, characterized in that it includes the host provided in the fifth aspect above and any possible implementation thereof. The electronic device further includes a support device, which includes a plurality of support plates and a first magnetic attraction component. Two adjacent support plates are rotatably connected among the plurality of support plates, and the plurality of support plates includes a first support plate. The first magnetic attraction component is fixedly disposed on the first support plate.
[0093] When the main unit is mounted on the first support plate in a horizontal position, at least a portion of the first magnetically attracted component in the first magnetically attracted assembly is attracted to the first magnetically attracted assembly. When the main unit is mounted on the first support plate in a vertical position, at least a portion of the first magnetically attracted component in the first magnetically attracted assembly is attracted to the first magnetically attracted assembly.
[0094] The electronic device provided in this application embodiment is equipped with the host mentioned above. It can achieve a thinner and more portable design of the electronic device on the basis of the reliability of the support device. It can also provide protection for the electronic device, enhance its functionality, and thus improve the user experience. Attached Figure Description

[0158] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of this application. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this application from the content disclosed in this specification. Although the description of this application will be presented in conjunction with some embodiments, this does not mean that the features of this application are limited to this embodiment. On the contrary, the purpose of describing the application in conjunction with embodiments is to cover other options or modifications that may be derived based on the claims of this application. To provide a thorough understanding of this application, many specific details will be included in the following description. This application may also be implemented without using these details. Furthermore, to avoid confusion or obscuring the focus of this application, some specific details will be omitted in the description. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other.
[0159] It should be noted that in this specification, similar reference numerals and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.
[0160] In the description of the embodiments of this application, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the embodiments of this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the embodiments of this application. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0161] In the description of the embodiments of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments of this application based on the specific circumstances.
[0162] In the description of the embodiments of this application, it should be understood that "electrical connection" in the embodiments of this application can be understood as physical contact and electrical conduction between components; it can also be understood as a form of connection between different components in a circuit structure through physical lines that can transmit electrical signals, such as copper foil or wires on a printed circuit board (PCB). "Communication connection" can refer to electrical signal transmission, including wireless communication connection and wired communication connection. Wireless communication connection does not require a physical medium and is not a connection relationship that limits the product structure.
[0163] In the description of the embodiments of this application, it should be noted that the mutual perpendicularity in the embodiments of this application is not absolute perpendicularity. Approximate perpendicularity due to processing errors and assembly errors (e.g., the included angle between two structural features is 89°) is also within the range of mutual perpendicularity in the embodiments of this application.

Approximate central symmetry due to processing errors and assembly errors (e.g., a portion of the structure is offset by a certain distance or angle relative to the axis of symmetry) is also within the range of central symmetry in the embodiments of this application. The embodiments of this application do not impose specific limitations on this.
[0164] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the implementation methods of this application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0165] Currently, more and more users are focusing on the slim and lightweight design and portability of electronic devices. Furthermore, the usage scenarios for electronic devices are becoming increasingly diverse, including multi-angle hovering and switching between horizontal and vertical orientations. To meet the application needs of users in different scenarios and improve the input efficiency and interactivity of electronic devices, they are usually equipped with support devices to fix and support the input device. However, when the device is used horizontally or vertically, the stability of the support device is insufficient, easily leading to wobbling or tipping, which greatly affects the user experience. In addition, some structurally reliable support devices are often large, heavy, and complex in design, which not only hinders the slim and lightweight design of electronic devices but also reduces their portability.
[0166] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a support device that, while ensuring reliable support, enables the electronic device to achieve a thinner and more portable design. It also provides protection for the electronic device, enhances its functionality, and ultimately improves the user experience.
[0167] This application also provides an input device equipped with the support device. The input device may include, but is not limited to, keyboards, touchpads, etc., and this application does not impose any restrictions on this.
[0168] This application also provides an electronic device that is configured with the input device or the support device, and this application does not limit this.
[0169] This application also provides a host device. It should be noted that the host device can be a tablet computer, a smartphone, a display device, or a smart wearable device. This application does not limit the types of devices that can be used.
[0170] This application also provides an electronic device equipped with the host, which can achieve a thinner and more portable design of the electronic device while ensuring the reliability of the support device. It can also provide protection for the electronic device, enhance its functionality, and thus improve the user experience.
[0171] The following text first explains the specific application scenarios of electronic devices.
[0172] Please see Figure 1a - Figure 5b , Figure 1a This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the host device in the electronic device of this application, with the host placed vertically. Figure 1bThis is a side view of the electronic device in the embodiment of this application, showing the host computer in a vertically placed state.

Figure 4b This is a schematic diagram of the support device according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 5a - Figure 5b This is a connection diagram of the power supply adapter interface on the first support plate in the embodiment of this application.
[0173] like Figure 1a - Figure 3b As shown, the electronic device 100 includes a support device 300, a host 11 disposed on the support device 300, and an input device 200. The host 11 will be described below using a tablet computer as an example.
[0174] Furthermore, the input device 200 is configured to operably control the host 11 mounted on the support device 300. The specific type of the input device 200 is not limited. In one possible implementation, such as... Figure 2a and Figure 3a As shown, the input device 200 includes a keyboard 21 and a touchpad 22, which can improve the user's input efficiency and interactivity. In another possible implementation, such as... Figure 1a As shown, the input device 200 may also include only the keyboard 21, and this embodiment does not limit this.
[0175] In other possible implementations, the input device 200 may also include electronic devices with other functions, such as remote sensing equipment.
[0176] like Figure 1a - Figure 4b As shown, the support device 300 includes multiple support plates 4 and a base 43, with adjacent support plates 4 rotatably connected. Specifically, in one possible implementation, the multiple support plates 4 include a first support plate 41 and a second support plate 42, which are rotatably connected. The first support plate 41 is used to contact the main unit 11 to form a support surface, providing stable support for the main unit 11 during user operation.
[0177] It should be noted that the specific structure of the support device 300 is not limited; in one possible implementation, such as... Figure 1a - Figure 1c As shown, the support device 300 is an integral structure, meaning that it cannot be separated during use. Other possible implementations include... Figure 2a - Figure 2c As shown, the support device 300 is configured as a separate structure, which allows for adjustment of the distance between the host 11 and the input device 200. Users can select different distances between themselves and the host 11 and the input device 200 to meet different user needs.
[0178] It should be noted that the specific structure of the support plate 4 is not limited. For example... Figure 1a to Figure 1c As shown, in one possible implementation, the first support plate 41 and the second support plate 42 adopt a plate-like structure. This ensures sufficient contact area with the host 11 and provides sufficient support force, while also helping to reduce the thickness of the support plates and decrease the space occupied by the support device 300. In other possible implementations, the first support plate 41 and the second support plate 42 can also be set as other rigid structures. For example, the first support plate 41 and the second support plate 42 can also be set as "I"-shaped rod-like structures, as long as the first support plate 41 and the second support plate 42 are rotatably connected and have sufficient support strength. This application embodiment does not limit this.
[0179] It should be noted that the connection method between the first support plate 41 and the second support plate 42 is not limited. In one possible implementation, such as... Figure 1a and Figure 4b As shown, the first support plate 41 and the second support plate 42 are connected by a flexible material or a material that can be arbitrarily shaped (for example, a cantilever bracket made of carbon steel, which can be bent freely multiple times and can provide sufficient support force). Other possible implementations include... Figure 3a and Figure 3b As shown, the first support plate 41 and the second support plate 42 are rotatably connected by a connecting shaft, but this application does not impose any restrictions on this.
[0180] Furthermore, such as Figure 1a - Figure 4b As shown, in one possible implementation, the second support plate 42 is rotatably connected to the base 43. Furthermore, the first support plate 41 is rotatably connected to the base 42 via the transmission action of the second support plate 42. In other possible implementations, the first support plate 41 may also be rotatably connected to the base 43; this embodiment does not limit this.
[0181] It should be noted that the connection method between the base 43 and the second support plate 42 is not limited. For example... Figure 1a and Figure 4bAs shown, the first support plate 41 and the second support plate 42 are connected by a flexible material or a material that can be arbitrarily shaped (for example, a cantilever bracket made of carbon steel, which can be bent freely multiple times and can provide sufficient support force). Other possible implementations include... Figure 3a and Figure 3b As shown, the first support plate 41 and the second support plate 42 are rotatably connected by a connecting shaft. Alternatively, other rotatable connection methods may be used, such as hinge connection, gear connection, etc. This application does not limit this.
[0182] Furthermore, the specific structure of the base 43 is not limited. In one possible implementation, such as... Figure 4a and Figure 4b As shown, the base 43 of the support device 300 is reused as the housing of the input device 200 (e.g., keyboard 21), meaning that the input device 200 is partially embedded inside the base 43 to ensure that the input device 200 is stably fixed on the base 43. In other possible implementations, such as... Figure 3a and Figure 3b As shown, the base 43 of the support device 300 and the housing of the keyboard 21 are independently set and fixedly connected to each other, that is, the input device 200 is detachably connected to the support device 300. For example, magnetic, snap-fit, bolt and nut connection methods can be adopted, so that the input device 200 can be freely removed or installed from the base 43 to improve the flexibility of the input device 200.
[0183] It should be noted that the front side 411 of the first support plate 41 refers to the side surface of the first support plate 41 facing the user during the use of the electronic device 100 or the support device 300, and the back side 111 of the host 11 refers to the side surface of the host 11 facing away from the user during the use of the host 11. The front side and the back side 111 of the host 11 are arranged opposite each other in the thickness direction z.
[0184] It should be noted that, in one possible implementation, the thickness direction z refers to the thickness direction of the first support plate, or it can be the thickness direction of the host. This application embodiment does not limit this.
[0185] In one possible implementation, the first support plate 41 is also provided with an opening for accommodating the camera module of the host. This serves two purposes: firstly, it does not obstruct the light from the camera module, and secondly, it better protects the electronic equipment. It should be noted that the shape of the opening is not limited; it can be elliptical or oblong (see...). Figure 9a - Figure 9b It can also be circular (see...). Figure 21 Those skilled in the art can reasonably set it according to the appearance and shape of the camera module on the host.
[0186] likeFigure 1a to Figure 1c , Figure 4a to Figure 4b As shown, in one possible implementation, the support device 300 can switch between an open state and a folded state through the combined action of the base 43, the first support plate 41, and the second support plate 42. When the support device 300 is in the open state, it can support the main unit 11 and the input device 200, allowing the user to select a suitable usage angle α1 for the main unit 11 (see...). Figure 6a This design keeps the relative positions of the main unit 11 and the input device 200 fixed, facilitating user operation of the main unit 11 and the input device 200. When the support device 300 is folded, it can wrap around the main unit 11 and the input device 200, allowing them to stack on top of each other, thus reducing the space occupied by the entire electronic device 100 and making it easier to store and carry. Simultaneously, the support device 300 provides protection against external impacts, such as drops or crushing, to prevent damage to the main unit 11 and the input device 200.
[0187] In simple terms, users can flexibly adjust the angle between the base 43 and the first support plate 41 by adjusting the rotation angle between the base 43 and the second support plate 42, as well as the rotation angle between the first support plate 41 and the second support plate 42. Figure 6a The angle α2 is the angle between the front surface 411 of the first support plate 41 and the upper surface 432 of the base 43, which is away from the second support plate 42. This allows the base 43 and the first support plate 41 to rotate relative to each other to any angle and remain fixed. It can be understood that the front surface 411 of the first support plate 41 is in contact with the back surface 111 of the main unit 11, so that the usage angle α1 of the main unit 11 can be flexibly adjusted, which is convenient for operation and meets the user's usage needs at different angles.
[0188] As users increasingly use electronic devices 100, the system applications of electronic devices 100 are becoming more diversified. Users are no longer satisfied with using the host 11 only in the traditional landscape orientation. More and more system applications support switching between landscape and portrait orientations for the host 11, offering greater flexibility. In the landscape orientation, the host 11's long side is horizontal, or parallel to the plane on which it is placed (e.g., a desktop, tabletop), and the screen width is greater than its height. In the portrait orientation, the host 11's short side is horizontal, or parallel to the plane on which it is placed, and the screen height is greater than its width.
[0189] like Figure 5aand Figure 5b As shown, the first support plate 41 and the second support plate 42 are also provided with multiple power supply adapters, which can realize electrical connection and power supply connection between the host 11 and the input device 200. In one possible implementation, when the host 11 is placed horizontally on the first support plate 41, the first power supply adapter 461 on the first support plate 41 is electrically connected to the power supply port (not shown) of the host 11 to supply power to the input device 200. When the host 11 is placed vertically on the first support plate 41, the second power supply adapter 462 on the first support plate 41 is electrically connected to the power supply port of the host 11 to supply power to the input device 200. In this way, whether the host 11 is placed horizontally or vertically, the input device can be powered through the power supply adapters on the first support plate 41, which can ensure the safety and reliability of the electronic device 100, and also improve the functionality and portability of the electronic device 100, and improve the user experience. In one possible implementation, such as Figure 5a and Figure 5b As shown, and in combination Figure 4a It is understood that the second support plate 42 is provided with a third power supply adapter 463, which is used to electrically connect the first power supply adapter 461 and the second power supply adapter 462 on the first support plate 41 to the input device 200 respectively.
[0190] Furthermore, in one possible implementation, such as Figure 1a - Figure 4b As shown, the main unit 11 is detachably fixed to the first support plate 41 by magnetic adsorption, which allows the main unit 11 to be either installed and fixed to the support device 300 for operation and use, or to be used independently detached from the support device 300, thus improving the flexibility of the electronic device 100. A detailed explanation of the magnetic adsorption between the main unit 11 and the support device 300 will be provided later.
[0191] Furthermore, in one example, such as Figure 1a - Figure 2c As shown, one side of the main unit 11 can abut against the upper surface 432 of the base 43 of the support device 300. In this case, the support device 300 can better support the main unit 11, especially when the main unit 11 is used vertically. In another example, as... Figure 3a and Figure 3b As shown, one side of the main unit 11 may not abut against the upper surface 432 of the base 43 of the support device 300, that is, there is a gap between the main unit 11 and the base 43.
[0192] The above mainly introduces the basic structure of electronic device 100. It is understandable that during the use of the support device, especially when switching to the vertical placement, the stability of the support device is insufficient, and it is easy to shake or tip over. Some support devices with more reliable structures are often large in size, heavy in weight, and complex in design, which is not conducive to the thin and light design of electronic devices and also weakens their portability.
[0193] Based on this, the present application provides a support device 300 (see...) Figure 6a - Figure 16b The first magnetic component 412 is provided in the first support plate 41 of the support device 300, and at least a portion of the first magnetic elements 4121 in the first magnetic component 412 is set as a reusable magnetic element 51. It can be attracted to the first magnetic component 112 in the host 11 in the horizontally placed state, and it can also be attracted to the first magnetic component 112 in the host 11 in the vertically placed state. This allows the support device 300 to use fewer first magnetic elements 4121 while ensuring the reliability of the support. This is beneficial for achieving a thinner and more portable design of the electronic device 100, and can also provide protection for the electronic device 100, enhance its functionality, and thus improve the user experience.
[0194] This application embodiment also provides a host 11 (see...) Figure 19a - Figure 20h By setting a first magnetically attracted component 112 in the host 11, and setting at least a portion of the first magnetically attracted element 1121 in the first magnetically attracted component 112 as a reused magnetically attracted element 52, when the host 11 is installed on the first support plate 41 in a horizontal or vertical position, the reused magnetically attracted element 52 is attracted to the first magnetically attracted component 412. Fewer first magnetically attracted elements 1121 can be used, which can reduce the weight of the host and reduce the space occupied inside the host, while ensuring the support reliability of the support device. This achieves a lightweight and portable design for electronic devices, and can also provide protection for electronic devices, enhance their functionality, and thus improve the user experience.
[0195] It should be noted that the method by which the host 11 is detachably fixed to the first support plate 41 by magnetic adsorption is not limited. In one possible implementation, at least a portion of the first magnetic member 4121 of the first magnetic assembly 412 in the first support plate 41 is configured as a reused magnetic member 51, and at least a portion of the first magnetically attracted member 1121 of the first magnetically attracted assembly 112 in the host 11 is configured as a reused magnetically attracted member 52. When the host is placed horizontally, the reused magnetic member 51 and the reused magnetically attracted member 52 are attracted and fixed together. When the host is placed vertically, the reused magnetic member 51 is also attracted and fixed together with the reused magnetically attracted member 52. This will be explained in detail below.
[0196] In another possible implementation, at least a portion of the first magnetic element 4121 of the first magnetic component 412 in the first support plate 41 is set as a reused magnetic element 51, and the first magnetically attracted component 112 in the host 11 is not provided with a reused magnetically attracted component. In this implementation, the specific setting of the first magnetically attracted component 112 is not limited, as long as the first magnetically attracted component has a corresponding first magnetically attracted component and a reused magnetic element 51 that are attracted and fixed when the host is in a vertical position or in a vertical position.
[0197] In another possible implementation, at least a portion of the first magnetically attracted component 1121 in the first magnetically attracted component 112 of the host 11 is set as a reused magnetically attracted component 52, and the first magnetically attracted component 412 in the first support plate 41 is not provided with a reused magnetically attracted component. In this implementation, the specific setting of the first magnetically attracted component 412 is not limited, as long as the first magnetically attracted component has a corresponding first magnetically attracted component and a reused magnetically attracted component 52 that are attracted and fixed when the host is in a vertically placed state or in a vertically placed state.
[0198] The following section will first provide a detailed explanation of the specific application of the first magnetic attraction component 412 in the support device 300.
[0199] Please see Figure 6a - Figure 7 , Figure 6a This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the electronic device in an embodiment of this application, in which the host is vertically placed and mounted on the first support plate. Figure 6b This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the input device according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 6c This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the electronic device in this application, in which the host is mounted horizontally on the first support plate. Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the preset magnetically attracted area of the host in an embodiment of this application.
[0200] It should be noted that, Figure 6a to Figure 6c The illustration only shows the arrangement of the multiple first magnetic elements 4121 in the first magnetic assembly 412. The arrangement of the multiple first magnetically attracted elements 1121 in the first magnetically attracted assembly 112 does not limit the specific structure of the first magnetic elements 4121 and the first magnetically attracted elements 1121.
[0201] like Figure 6a to Figure 6cAs shown, the support device 300 also includes a first magnetic attraction component 412 fixedly disposed on the first support plate 41. The first magnetic attraction component 412 is used to be attracted to the first magnetic attraction component 112 of the host 11, so that the front side 411 of the first support plate 41 contacts and is attracted and fixed to the back side 111 of the host 11. That is, the first magnetic attraction component 412 is fixedly disposed on the first support plate 41 and is used to be magnetically attracted to the first magnetic attraction component 112 of the host 11. That is, when supporting the host 11, they can interact to generate sufficient attraction force, so that the front side 411 of the first support plate 41 contacts and is attracted and fixed to the back side 111 of the host 11, ensuring the reliability of the support device 300 when fixing the host 11.
[0202] And, as Figure 6a to Figure 6c As shown, the first magnetic attraction assembly 412 includes a plurality of first magnetic attractors 4121, which are arranged on a plane perpendicular to the thickness direction z of the first support plate 41. At least a portion of the plurality of first magnetic attractors 4121 are configured as reused magnetic attractors 51, which are disposed in a preset magnetic attraction area 4122 of the first support plate 41, so that the reused magnetic attractors 51 can be attracted to the first magnetic attraction assembly 112 in the host 11 in a horizontally placed state, and can also be attracted to the first magnetic attraction assembly 112 in the host 11 in a vertically placed state. In other words, when the host 11 is placed horizontally or vertically, the first magnetic component 4121 located in the preset magnetic area 4122 of the first magnetic component 412 can be reused and magnetically attracted to the corresponding first magnetic component 112, thereby positioning and fixing the host 11, reducing or avoiding shaking or displacement of the host 11 when placed horizontally or vertically, improving its support stability and reliability, and meeting different user needs.
[0203] Furthermore, such as Figure 6a - Figure 6c As shown, in both the horizontal and vertical placement states, at least a portion of the first magnetic attracting element 4121 in the first magnetic assembly can be reused, eliminating the need for two completely independent magnetic attraction schemes for the horizontal and vertical placement states. This reduces the number of first magnetic attracting elements 4121, thereby reducing the weight of the support device 300 and achieving a thinner, more portable design. Furthermore, the space occupied by the first magnetic assembly within the first support plate 41 is reduced, improving space utilization and providing sufficient space for other components, thus achieving a thinner, more portable design for the electronic device 100.
[0204] Simply put, such as Figure 7As shown, region A is the location of the first magnetically attracted component inside the host 11 in the horizontal position. Correspondingly, the first support plate 41 is also provided with a corresponding magnetically attracted component. Region B is the location of the first magnetically attracted component inside the host 11 in the vertical position. Correspondingly, the first support plate 41 is also provided with a corresponding magnetically attracted component. That is to say, when the first magnetic component inside the first support plate 41 is reused, the first magnetically attracted component 112 in the horizontal and vertical positions of the host can be the same set, or there can be two or more sets. At this time, the area where the preset magnetic attraction area 4122 is located can be roughly determined according to the contact overlap area (i.e., the overlapping part of region A and region B) in the first support plate 41 corresponding to the horizontal and vertical positions of the host.
[0205] like Figure 6a - Figure 6c As shown, when some or all of the first magnetic components 4121 on the first magnetic assembly 412 of the first support plate 41 are reusable magnetic components 51, the reusable magnetic components 51 in the first magnetic assembly 412 can repeatedly attract different first magnetic components 1121 in the first magnetically attracted assembly 112 in the horizontal and vertical placement states inside the host, supporting the host 11. In this way, the number of first magnetic components 4121 on the first support plate 41 can be reduced, thereby reducing the weight of the support device 300 and achieving a lightweight and portable design.
[0206] Furthermore, the support device 300 and the host 11 are fixedly connected by magnetic attraction, without the need to add other structures (such as buckles), making the structure and appearance of the electronic device 100 simpler and the operation simpler. It also helps to reduce the weight of the electronic device 100 to a certain extent, achieving a lightweight and portable design.
[0207] On the other hand, the support device 300 and the host 11 are provided with reliable magnetic adsorption, which can fix and wrap the host 11, provide physical protection for the host 11, prevent the host 11 from being scratched, bumped and dropped during daily use, and also enhance the functionality of the electronic device 100, such as being equipped with a keyboard 21, touchpad 22, etc., to improve the user experience.
[0208] In summary, the support device 300 provided in this application embodiment can achieve a lightweight and portable design of the electronic device 100 on the basis of reliable support. It can also provide protection for the electronic device 100, enhance its functionality, and thus improve the user experience.
[0209] The structure of the first magnetic attractor 4121 will be described below.
[0210] Please see Figure 8 - Figure 11d ,Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of the preset magnetic attraction area of the first support plate in the input device of this application embodiment. Figure 9a - Figure 9b This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the first magnetic element in the support device according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 10a - Figure 10c This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the first magnetic element in the support device of this application embodiment when the first magnetic array is arranged in a circular pattern. Figure 10d This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the first magnetic array in the support device according to an embodiment of this application when the array angle is 180 degrees. Figure 11a - Figure 11d This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the first magnetic element in the electronic device according to the embodiments of this application, when the first magnetic array is arranged in different shapes.
[0211] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 6a to Figure 6c As shown, all the first magnetic elements 4121 of the first magnetic absorbing assembly 412 are configured as reused magnetic elements 51. In this way, all the first magnetic elements 4121 of the first magnetic absorbing assembly 412 in the horizontally placed state can be reused as magnetic elements in the vertically placed state, reducing the number of first magnetic elements 4121 within the first support plate 41, reducing weight, saving internal space, and facilitating the slim and lightweight design of the support device 300 and the electronic device 100. In other possible implementations, some of the first magnetic elements 4121 of the first magnetic absorbing assembly 412 may be configured as reused magnetic elements 51.
[0212] It should be noted that the number of first magnetic components 4121 in the first magnetic component 412 is not limited. Those skilled in the art can set it reasonably as needed. The number of first magnetic components 4121 should be enough to enable the first magnetic component 412 to generate sufficient magnetic attraction force so that the support device 300 can stably support and fix the host 11.
[0213] It should be noted that the specific shape of the first magnetic element 4121 is not limited. In one possible implementation, such as... Figure 9a - Figure 10d As shown, the first magnetic attractor 4121 has an arc-shaped structure, and its size is not limited. Other possible implementations include... Figure 11a - Figure 11c As shown, the first magnetic attractor 4121 has a square structure, which allows for high flexibility in its arrangement.
[0214] Furthermore, the positional relationship between adjacent first magnetic attractors 4121 is not limited; they can be arranged in contact or spaced apart. This embodiment of the application does not impose any restrictions on this. Figure 10c As shown, the first magnetic components 4121 in the first magnetic assembly 412 can be arranged one by one in close proximity, such as... Figure 10a and Figure 10b As shown, there may be a gap between the first magnetic member 4121 and the adjacent first magnetic member 4121, but this application embodiment does not limit this.
[0215] The first magnetic attraction component 412 will be described in detail below.
[0216] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 6b - Figure 6c As shown, the multiple first magnetic elements 4121 in the first magnetic attraction assembly 412 are arranged in an array to form a first magnetic array 413. It should be noted that the specific form of the array arrangement of the multiple first magnetic elements 4121 is not limited. In one example, the multiple first magnetic elements 4121 in the first magnetic attraction assembly 412 are arranged in an array around a first central axis 4142, wherein the first central axis 4142 is located in a preset magnetic attraction area 4122 and is parallel to the thickness direction z of the first support plate 41. The point on the front surface 411 of the first support plate 41 through which the first central axis 4142 passes is the magnetic attraction center point 4141. In other words, the first magnetic elements 4121 in the first magnetic attraction assembly 412 can be arranged in an array along the first central axis 4142, and the resulting attraction force can be evenly applied to the host 11, improving the support stability of the support device 300. Furthermore, the first magnetic element 4121 in the first magnetic array 413 located within the preset magnetic attraction area 4122 is a reused magnetic element 51. This ensures reliable support while concentrating the attraction force, which helps reduce the weight of the first magnetic element 4121 and achieves a lightweight and portable design. In other possible implementations, the multiple first magnetic elements 4121 in the first magnetic assembly 412 can also be arranged in other ways, and this application embodiment does not limit this. The specific location of the magnetic center point will be explained later.
[0217] like Figure 6b As shown, in one possible implementation, the first magnetic array 413 is entirely located within the preset magnetic region 4122, which concentrates the magnetic force, enabling better adsorption and contact, and also facilitates the lightweight and portable design of the support device 300. In other possible implementations, a portion of the first magnetic array 413 may be located within the preset magnetic region 4122; this embodiment does not limit this.
[0218] It should be noted that the angle at which the multiple first magnetic components 4121 are arranged in an array around the first central axis 4142 is not limited, as long as at least some of the first magnetic components 4121 are magnetically attracted to the first magnetically attracted assembly 112 when the host is in both a horizontal and vertical placement state. Figure 6c , Figure 10b and Figure 10dAs shown, in one possible implementation, the multiple first magnetic components 4121 are arranged in an array around the first central axis 4142 at angles that are multiples of 90 degrees, such as 90 degrees, 180 degrees, 270 degrees, and 360 degrees. This ensures that at least some of the first magnetic components 4121 can be attracted to the first magnetically attracted assembly 112 in the host 11 in both horizontal and vertical orientations. The structure is compact, occupies little space, has a concentrated attraction force, and offers high reliability. In one example, such as... Figure 10d As shown, the plurality of first magnetic attractors 4121 are arranged in an array around the first central axis 4142 at an angle of 180 degrees. In another example, such as Figure 10b As shown, the multiple first magnetic attractors 4121 are arranged in an array around the first central axis 4142 at an angle of 360 degrees. This application example does not limit this.
[0219] It should be noted that the specific layout of the first magnetic array 413 in this application embodiment is not limited, and those skilled in the art can reasonably set it according to the internal space. In one possible implementation, such as Figure 6c , Figure 8 to Figure 10c , Figure 11a - Figure 11b As shown, the first magnetic array 413 is arranged in a ring. In this way, the first magnetic array 413 can concentrate and focus the magnetic field, generating a stronger magnetic attraction force than ordinary magnetic components. Moreover, the magnetic field is more uniformly distributed in the ring path with small intensity variations, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the magnetic field. On the other hand, it can improve the flexibility of the magnetic component layout, allowing more reusable magnetic components 51 to be arranged, thereby reducing weight, achieving a thinner and lighter design, and adapting to the stacking changes of the internal space of the first support plate 41 and the main unit 11 (correspondingly set first magnetically attracted component 1121), which is beneficial to saving internal space.
[0220] It should be noted that the specific shape of the ring is not limited. In one example, such as... Figure 8 to Figure 10c As shown, the ring is circular. At this time, the first magnetic array 413 of the circle can generate a strong and uniform magnetic field in the preset magnetic area 4122, which can reduce the influence of the magnetic field on the surrounding devices and concentrate the magnetic field in a limited space, thereby reducing the volume and weight of the magnet.
[0221] In another example, such as Figure 11a - Figure 11b As shown, the ring is a polygon with an even number of sides, such as a polygon with 4, 6, or 8 sides. In this way, the first magnetic array 413 with even-numbered polygons can generate complex magnetic field shapes, reduce leakage of external magnetic fields, achieve efficient magnetic field utilization, and improve its stability and uniformity. Furthermore, even-numbered polygons allow for precise control of the magnetic field. Further, the polygon is a regular polygon. It should be noted that the polygon can also be a non-regular polygon (not shown in the figure), and this embodiment does not impose any limitations on this.
[0222] For example, such as Figure 11a As shown, the polygon is a rectangle, with two pairs of perpendicular opposite sides parallel to the length direction (x) and width direction (y) of the first support plate 41, respectively. This can be understood as one pair of opposite sides being parallel to the length direction (x) of the first support plate 41, and the other pair being parallel to the width direction (y) of the first support plate 41. In this case, the rectangular first magnetic array 413 can better adapt to the shape of the host 11 while improving the stability and uniformity of the magnetic field, thus reducing the space occupied inside the host 11. Therefore, the rectangular first magnetic array 413 can better adapt to the shape of the host 11 while improving the stability and uniformity of the magnetic field, thus reducing the space occupied inside the host 11. Figure 11b For example, the polygon is a regular hexagon.
[0223] Wherein, the length direction x of the first support plate refers to the direction of the long side of the first support plate, which can also be understood as the extension direction of the long side of the host that is in contact with the long side of the first support plate when the host is placed horizontally, or it can be the length direction of the bearing component.
[0224] It is understandable that the annular first magnetic array 413 can define a larger preset magnetic area 4122, so that more reusable magnetic components 51 can be set in the preset magnetic area 4122 within the first support plate 41, thereby reducing the number of first magnetic components 4121, realizing a stable switch between vertical and horizontal placement states, and helping to reduce the overall weight of the support device 300.
[0225] In other possible implementations, such as Figure 11c As shown, the first magnetic array 413 is cross-shaped to form two mutually perpendicular first magnetic groups 4123. The first magnetic elements 4121 of one first magnetic group 4123 are arranged along the length direction x of the first support plate 41, and the first magnetic elements 4121 of the other first magnetic group 4123 are arranged along the width direction y of the first support plate 41. The width direction y is perpendicular to the length direction x and the thickness direction z. That is, when the first magnetic array 413 is cross-shaped, it is easier to arrange and reuse the magnetic elements 51 when switching between vertical and horizontal placement, thereby reducing weight and achieving a thinner and lighter design. In addition, the cross-shaped layout occupies less space, which helps to save internal space of the electronic device 100 (e.g., host 11) and improve the space utilization of the host 11.
[0226] It should be noted that the number of first magnetic elements 4121 in one first magnetic attraction group 4123 may be the same as or different from the number of first magnetic elements 4121 in the other first magnetic attraction group 4123, and this application embodiment does not impose any limitation on this. In one example, the number of first magnetic elements 4121 in one first magnetic attraction group 4123 is the same as the number of first magnetic elements 4121 in the other first magnetic attraction group 4123.
[0227] It should be noted that, as Figure 11d As shown, the first magnetic array 413 can also be a strip structure, so that all the first magnetic components 4121 located in the preset magnetic area 4122 are all reused magnetic components 51, which can stably fix and support the host 11, and can also reduce the weight, which is beneficial to the thinness and portability of the electronic device 100.
[0228] The above mainly introduced the first magnetic component; the following text will provide a detailed explanation of the magnetic center point.
[0229] Please see Figure 12a - Figure 12e , Figure 12a This is a schematic diagram showing the relationship between the host and the first support plate in the first angle position according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 12b This is a schematic diagram showing the relationship between the host and the first support plate in the second angle of an embodiment of this application, where the host is placed vertically. Figure 12c This is a schematic diagram showing the relationship between the second host region and the central region from a second angle in an embodiment of this application. Figure 12d This is a schematic diagram of the center point of the host in an embodiment of this application. Figure 12e This is a schematic diagram of the horizontal suction center line and the vertical suction center line in an embodiment of this application.
[0230] It should be noted that the position of the magnetic center point 4141 is not limited, as long as it is located in the preset magnetic area 4122 of the first support plate 41.
[0231] like Figure 12e As shown, the front surface 411 of the first support plate 41 has a horizontal suction center point 4141A and a vertical suction center point 4141B. Figure 14d and Figure 16b As shown, when the main unit 11 is placed horizontally on the first support plate 41, the horizontal suction center point 4141A overlaps with the center point 114 of the main unit 11, as shown. Figure 12a , Figure 12b and Figure 12dAs shown, when the host 11 is placed vertically on the first support plate 41, the vertical suction center point 4141B overlaps with the center point 114 of the host 11. That is to say, the horizontal suction center point 4141A can be understood as the position on the first support plate 41 that overlaps with the center point 114 of the host 11 when it is placed horizontally, and the vertical suction center point 4141B can be understood as the position on the first support plate 41 that overlaps with the center point 114 of the host 11 when it is placed vertically.
[0232] It is understood that the position of the main unit 11 and the first support member 41 in the vertical placement state is not limited. Those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the position on the first support plate 41 that overlaps with the center point 114 of the main unit 11, i.e., the vertical suction center point 4141B, according to the user's preferred use angle requirements in the vertical placement state of the main unit 11 and the size of the main unit 11. This application does not limit the specific position of the vertical suction center point 4141B.
[0233] like Figure 12e As shown, and in combination Figure 14d and Figure 16b In one possible implementation, the vertical suction center point 4141B is located on the straight line connecting the center point 410 of the front surface 411 of the first support plate 41 and the horizontal suction center point 4141A (in one example, this straight line is parallel to the width direction of the first support plate 41). The horizontal suction center point 4141A and the vertical suction center point 4141B are located in the preset magnetic suction area 4122. In this way, the center point of the main unit 11 is always located on the straight line connecting the horizontal suction center point 4141A and the center point of the front surface 411 of the first support plate 41 (i.e., the vertical suction center point 4141B). This helps to ensure the structural stability of the main unit 11 when the support device 300 supports and fixes it, allowing the user to choose any angle to achieve stable hovering and improving the user experience. The center point 410 of the front surface 411 of the first support plate 41 can be understood as the location of the center of the front surface 411.
[0234] Furthermore, based on the vertical suction center point 4141B and the horizontal suction center point 4141A, a preset magnetic suction area 4122 for arranging the reused magnetic suction component 51 is determined. This helps the reused magnetic suction component 51 on the first support plate 41 to not only stably attract and fix the host 11 in the horizontally placed state, but also stably attract and fix the host 11 in the vertically placed state. The center point 114 of the host 11 is located on the line connecting the horizontal suction center point 4141A and the vertical suction center point 4141B. This helps to ensure the structural stability of the support device 300 when supporting and fixing the host 11, allowing the user to choose any angle to achieve stable hovering and improving the user experience.
[0235] Furthermore, due to the size difference and usage angle difference of the host 11, the vertical suction center point 4141B is located on the straight line connecting the center point 410 on the front of the first support plate 41 and the horizontal suction center point 4141A, so that the user can obtain a stable usage angle experience (such as 120 degrees) when using the host 11 in a vertical position. In other words, the appropriate position of the vertical suction center point 4141B can be determined based on the size of the host 11 and the user's comfortable vertical screen usage angle. Then, the arrangement area of the reused magnetic suction component 51 can be determined based on the vertical suction center point 4141B and the horizontal suction center point 4141A to ensure the structural stability of the support device 300 when supporting and fixing the host 11.
[0236] It should be noted that the specific location of the vertical suction center point 4141B on the straight line connecting the center point 410 and the horizontal suction center point 4141A is not limited. For example, it can be located on the line connecting the center point 410 and the horizontal suction center point 4141A or outside the line (for example, above the line or below the line).
[0237] like Figure 12e As shown, in one possible implementation, the vertical suction center point 4141B is located on the line connecting the center point 410 and the horizontal suction center point 4141A. For example... Figure 12a As shown, in one example, the center point 4141B of the vertical suction cup overlaps with the center point 410 of the front surface 411 of the first support plate 41. Figure 12b As shown, in another example, the vertical suction center point 4141B overlaps with the horizontal suction center point 4141A.
[0238] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 12a - Figure 12e As shown, and in combination Figure 14d and Figure 16b Understand that the magnetic center point 4141 is located within the preset magnetic area 4122 and lies on the line connecting the horizontal magnetic center point 4141A and the vertical magnetic center point 4141B. For example, the magnetic center point 4141 can be located at either the vertical magnetic center point 4141B or the horizontal magnetic center point 4141A (see [reference]). Figure 14d Alternatively, the magnetic suction center point 4141B and the horizontal suction center point 4141A can be located between them, which facilitates the uniform arrangement of the first magnetic suction component 412 and generates a uniformly distributed magnetic field, thereby improving the reliability of the support device 300. It should be noted that the vertical suction center point 4141B and the magnetic suction center point 4141 can be arranged overlappingly or staggered, and this embodiment does not impose any restrictions on this.
[0239] It should be noted that the specific location of the magnetic center point 4141 within the preset magnetic region 4122 is not limited. In one possible implementation, the magnetic center point 4141 is located in the central region of the preset magnetic region 4122, for example, at the center point of the central region. In other possible implementations, the magnetic center point 4141 is located in the edge region of the preset magnetic region 4122, and this embodiment of the application does not impose any restrictions on this.
[0240] The following section will provide a detailed description of the location of the preset magnetic attraction area 4122 in the first support plate 41.
[0241] Please see Figure 13a to Figure 16b , Figure 13a and Figure 13b This is a schematic diagram of the area overlapping the host on the first support plate according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 14a - Figure 14d This is a schematic diagram of the area on the host that overlaps with the first support plate in an embodiment of this application. Figure 15a and Figure 15b This is a schematic diagram of the area on the host that overlaps with the first support plate from a second angle according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 16a and Figure 16b This is a schematic diagram of the preset magnetic attraction area in the support device of the embodiment of this application.
[0242] One possible implementation is, such as Figure 13a , Figure 14a As shown, when the host 11 is in a horizontal position and is installed on the first support plate 41, the first support area 415 of the first support plate 41 contacts the first host area 115 of the host 11, and at least a portion of the first magnetic member 4121 in the first magnetic assembly 412 is attracted to the first magnetic assembly 112.
[0243] like Figure 13b , Figure 14b As shown, when the host 11 is mounted on the first support plate 41 in a vertical position, the second support area 416 of the first support plate 41 contacts the second host area 116 of the host 11, and at least a portion of the first magnetic member 4121 in the first magnetic assembly 412 is attracted to the first magnetically attracted component 112. Figure 13bAs shown, the area where the first support area 415 and the second support area 416 overlap is the support overlap area 417. The preset magnetic attraction area 4122 is located within the support overlap area 417. In this way, the preset magnetic attraction area 4122 is set in the area where the first support plate 41 overlaps in both the horizontal and vertical placement states, i.e., within the support overlap area 417. This allows the first magnetic attraction component 412 to generate a uniform magnetic attraction force for different states of the host 11, improving the reliability of the support device 300. In one example, the preset magnetic attraction area 4122 is the support overlap area 417. In this case, the layout of the first magnetic attraction component 4121 within the preset magnetic attraction area 4122 is more flexible.
[0244] It should be noted that, as Figure 13b As shown, in one example, the first support region 415 includes the second support region 416, and the area where the first support region 415 and the second support region 416 overlap is the second support region 416. Thus, the support overlap region 417 is the second support region 416.
[0245] One possible implementation is, such as Figure 14a - Figure 14c As shown, and in combination Figure 6a - Figure 6c It is understood that the overlapping area of the first host region 115 and the second host region 116 is the host overlapping region 118, and at least a portion of the first magnetically attracted component 1121 is disposed in the host overlapping region 118. When the host 11 is mounted on the first support plate 41, the preset magnetic region 4122 is located in the area of the support overlapping region 417 that contacts the host overlapping region 118. With this structure, the host overlapping region 118 is disposed opposite to the support overlapping region 417, so that the preset magnetic region 4122 can be positioned relative to the center of gravity of the host 11 (i.e., the center of gravity of the host 11). Figure 12c The area where the center point 114 is located (as shown) generates a reliable magnetic attraction force, improving the reliability of the support device 300.
[0246] One possible implementation is, such as Figure 14d As shown, when the host 11 is installed on the first support plate 41 in a horizontal position, the preset magnetic attraction area 4122 is located in the area of the support overlap area 417 that contacts the second host area 116. In one example, the preset magnetic attraction area 4122 is the area of the support overlap area 417 that contacts the second host area 116.
[0247] like Figure 12a , Figure 12d and Figure 14bAs shown, the host 11 has a central region 117 along its length direction. The center point 114 of the host 11 is located in the central region 117. Alternatively, it can be understood that when the host 11 is placed vertically on the first support plate 41, and the vertical suction center point 4141B on the first support plate 41 is located at the center point 410 (first angle) on the front of the first support plate 41, the second host region 116 is the central region 117. At this time, the support overlap region 417 is in contact with the second host region 116.
[0248] like Figure 12c and Figure 15a As shown, when the main unit 11 is vertically placed on the first support plate 41, and the vertical suction center point 4141B on the first support plate 41 is located at the horizontal suction center point 4141A (second angle) on the front of the first support plate 41, the area in the second main unit area 116 that overlaps with the central area 117 is the sub-main unit overlap area 1181. It can be understood that the second main unit area 116 is the area where the main unit 11 contacts the first support member 41 in the vertically placed state.
[0249] like Figure 13b , Figure 15b and Figure 16a As shown, the area in the support overlap area 417 that contacts the sub-host overlap area 1181 is the first sub-support overlap area 4171.
[0250] like Figure 13b , Figure 15b - Figure 16b As shown, when the host 11 is placed horizontally on the first support plate 41, the area in the first sub-support overlapping area 4171 that contacts the sub-host overlapping area 1181 is the second sub-support overlapping area 4172, and the preset magnetic attraction area 4122 is located within the second sub-support overlapping area 4172. In one example, the preset magnetic attraction area 4122 is the second sub-support overlapping area 4172. In this case, the second sub-support overlapping area 4172 is the smallest overlapping area of the first support 41 and the host 11 in both horizontal and vertical placement states, and the area of the preset magnetic attraction area 4122 is also relatively small.
[0251] Understandably, by determining the overlapping and contact areas between the host 11 and the first support plate 41 in its horizontal and vertical placement states at the first and second angles, the area of the preset magnetic attraction region 4122 can be reduced, meaning the layout space of the first magnetic attraction component 412 is smaller. This results in a more concentrated layout, allowing the first magnetic attraction component 412 to have a better adsorption effect, thereby improving the support reliability of the support device 300. Furthermore, the more concentrated preset magnetic attraction region 4122 can form a more stable and robust magnetic force, ensuring the stability of the device when suspended at different angles (e.g., 120 degrees) when used in a vertical placement state. This meets different user needs and improves the reliability of the support device 300.
[0252] It is understandable that when some or all of the first magnetic 4121 inside the first support plate 41 are reused magnetic 51, the first magnetically attracted part 1121 in the corresponding host 11 can also be a reused magnetic 51, so that the number and weight of the first magnetic 4121 in the first support plate 41 of the support device 300 and the interior of the host 11 can be reduced, and the space occupied by the first support plate 41 and the host 11 can be reduced, which is beneficial to the lightweight and portable design of the electronic device 100.
[0253] It should be noted that when some or all of the first magnetic attractors 4121 inside the first support plate 41 are reused magnetic attractors 51, the first magnetically attracted assembly 112 in the host 11 can be provided with multiple completely independent sets of first magnetically attracted elements (e.g., two sets of first magnetically attracted elements). Alternatively, some or all of the first magnetically attracted elements 1121 inside the host 11 can be reused magnetic attractors 51, and the first magnetically attracted assembly 412 in the first support plate 41 can be provided with multiple completely independent sets of first magnetic attractors (e.g., two sets of first magnetic attractors) for adsorption and support. This application embodiment does not limit this. The following is a detailed description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0254] Please see Figure 17a - Figure 18c , Figure 17a - Figure 17c This is a schematic diagram showing the layout of the magnetic components on the host and the first support plate in an embodiment of this application. Figure 18a for Figure 17a Front view of the main unit and the first support plate assembly. Figure 18b for Figure 17a A schematic diagram of the structure of the first magnetic attraction component in the first support plate. Figure 18c for Figure 17a A schematic diagram of the structure of the first magnetically attracted component in the host computer.
[0255] Specifically, in one possible implementation, such as Figure 17a - Figure 18cAs shown, when all the first magnetic components 4121 in the first support plate 41 are reused magnetic components 51, the corresponding first magnetically attracted assembly 112 in the host 11 is attracted to the first magnetically attracted assembly 412. The first magnetically attracted assembly 112 in the host 11 includes two sets of first magnetically attracted components, namely a first horizontal magnetically attracted group 1124 and a first vertical magnetically attracted group 1125. When the host is placed horizontally, the first horizontal magnetically attracted group 1124 is attracted to the first magnetic component 4121 of the first magnetically attracted assembly 4122. And when the host is placed vertically, the first vertical magnetically attracted group 1125 is also attracted to the first magnetic component 4121 of the first magnetically attracted assembly 4122 (see...). Figure 18b and Figure 18c This enables stable switching of the host 11 under different states during the use of the electronic device 100.
[0256] In other possible implementations, the first magnetically attracted component 112 inside the host 11 may also include 3, 4 or more first magnetically attracted components, so that the host can be better attracted and achieve stable support.
[0257] The above mainly describes the arrangement of the multiple first magnetic components of the first magnetic assembly in the first support plate of the support device. The following will describe the arrangement of the multiple first magnetically attracted components of the first magnetically attracted assembly in the host with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0258] Please see Figure 19a - Figure 20h , Figure 19a - Figure 19b This is a schematic diagram showing the layout of the first magnetic component in the host of an embodiment of this application. Figure 20a - Figure 20e This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the first magnetic component in the host of an embodiment of this application. Figure 20f - Figure 20h This is a schematic diagram of another possible implementation of the first magnetically attracted component in the embodiments of this application.
[0259] like Figure 19a and Figure 19b and combined Figure 6a - Figure 6cIt is understood that the host 11 is provided with a first magnetically attracted component 112, which is used to attract the first magnetically attracted component 412 in the first support plate 41 of the support device 300, so that the back side 111 of the host 11 contacts and is fixedly attracted to the front side 411 of the first support plate 41. Furthermore, the first magnetically attracted component 112 includes a plurality of first magnetically attracted elements 1121, which are arranged on a plane perpendicular to the thickness direction z of the host 11. At least a portion of the first magnetically attracted elements 1121 in the first magnetically attracted component 112 are configured as reused magnetically attracted elements 52. The reused magnetically attracted elements 52 are disposed in a preset magnetically attracted area 1122 of the host 11, so that when the host 11 is installed on the first support plate 41 in a horizontal or vertical position, the reused magnetically attracted elements 52 attract the first magnetically attracted component 412. In other words, at least a portion of the first magnetically attracted component 1121 inside the host 11 is a reused magnetically attracted component 52, which reduces the number of first magnetically attracted components 1121 inside the host 11, reduces its weight, and also reduces the space occupied by it, which is beneficial to the lightweight and portable design of the electronic device 100.
[0260] Specifically, such as Figure 19a and Figure 19b and combined Figure 14d It is understood that when the host 11 is in a horizontal or vertical position, the preset magnetic attraction area 1122 contacts the preset magnetic attraction area 4122, and the reused magnetic attraction component 52 is attracted to the reused magnetic attraction component 51. When the host 11 is horizontally placed on the first support plate 41, the preset magnetic attraction area 1122 is located in the area of the second host area 116 of the host 11 that contacts the support overlap area 417 of the first support plate 41. In this way, the magnetic attraction components in the first support plate 41 and the host 11 are arranged in a relatively concentrated manner and are easy to reuse, which can reduce space occupation and is conducive to the thinner and lighter design and portability of the electronic device 100. In one example, when the host 11 is horizontally placed on the first support plate 41, the preset magnetic attraction area 1122 is the area of the second host area 116 of the host 11 that contacts the support overlap area 417 of the first support plate 41. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the preset magnetic attraction area 1122 can be located in the center area 117 of the host 11.
[0261] It should be noted that the positional relationship between the preset magnetically attracted area 1122 and the preset magnetically attracted area 4122 is not limited. When the host 11 is in a horizontal position, the preset magnetically attracted area 1122 and the preset magnetically attracted area 4122 can partially overlap or completely overlap. When the host 11 is in a vertical position, the preset magnetically attracted area 1122 and the preset magnetically attracted area 4122 can partially overlap or completely overlap. This application embodiment does not impose any restrictions on this.
[0262] In one possible implementation, multiple first magnetically attracted components 1121 are arranged in an array to form a first magnetically attracted array 113. It should be noted that the specific form of the array arrangement of the multiple first magnetically attracted components 1121 is not limited. In one example, the multiple first magnetically attracted components 1121 are arranged in an array around a second central axis 1142, wherein the second central axis 1142 is located in a preset magnetically attracted area 1122 and is parallel to the thickness direction z of the host 11, and the point on the back surface 111 of the host 11 through which the second central axis 1142 passes is the magnetically attracted center point 1141.
[0263] It should be noted that the location of the magnetically attracted center point 1141 is not limited. For example, it can be located in the center of the preset magnetically attracted area 1122, as long as it is located within the preset magnetically attracted area 1122. This application embodiment does not impose any restrictions on this. In one possible implementation, such as Figures 19a-19b As shown, the magnetic center point 1141 is the location of the center point of the preset magnetic area 1122 of the host 11.
[0264] Furthermore, in one possible implementation, such as Figures 20f-20h As shown, the magnetically attracted center point 1141 is the center point 114 of the host 11. At this time, part of the first magnetically attracted component 1121 in the first magnetically attracted assembly 112 is a multiplexed magnetically attracted component 52. In other possible implementations, such as Figure 19a and Figure 19b When the magnetic center point 1141 does not coincide with the center point 114 of the host 11, all the first magnetic components 1121 in the first magnetic component 112 are reused magnetic components 52.
[0265] It should be noted that the angle at which the multiple first magnetically attracted components 1121 are arranged in an array around the second central axis 1142 is not limited, as long as at least some of the first magnetically attracted components 1121 are magnetically attracted to the first magnetic assembly 412 when the host is in both a horizontal and vertical placement state. Figure 20a and Figure 20b As shown, in one possible implementation, the multiple first magnetically attracted components 1121 are arranged in an array around the second central axis 1142 at angles that are multiples of 90 degrees, such as 90 degrees, 180 degrees, 270 degrees, and 360 degrees. This ensures that at least some of the first magnetically attracted components 1121 can be attracted to the first magnetic assembly in the first support plate whether the host 11 is in a horizontal or vertical position. The structure is compact, occupies little space, has a relatively concentrated attraction force, and offers high fixation reliability. In one example, such as... Figure 20b As shown, the multiple first magnetically attracted components 1121 are arranged in an array around the second central axis 1142 at an angle of 180 degrees. In another example, such as... Figure 20aAs shown, the multiple first magnetically attracted components 1121 are arranged in an array around the second central axis 1142 at an angle of 360 degrees. This application example does not limit this.
[0266] It should be noted that the specific layout of the first magnetically attracted array 113 is not limited in the embodiments of this application, and those skilled in the art can reasonably set it according to the internal space. In one possible implementation, such as Figure 20a , Figures 20c-20e As shown, the first magnetically attracted array 113 is arranged in a ring. In this way, the first magnetically attracted array 113 can concentrate and focus the magnetic field, generating a stronger magnetic attraction force than ordinary magnetic attractors. Moreover, the magnetic field is more uniformly distributed in the ring path with small intensity variations, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the magnetic field. On the other hand, it can improve the flexibility of the magnetic attractor layout, allowing more reusable magnetically attracted components 52 to be arranged, thereby reducing weight, achieving a thinner and lighter design, and adapting to the stacking changes of the internal space of the host 11, which is beneficial to saving internal space.
[0267] It should be noted that the specific shape of the ring is not limited. In one example, such as... Figure 20a As shown, the ring is circular. At this time, the first magnetically attracted array 113 of the circle can generate a strong and uniform magnetic field in the preset magnetically attracted area 1122, which can reduce the influence of the magnetic field on the surrounding devices and concentrate the magnetic field in a limited space, thereby reducing the volume and weight of the magnet.
[0268] In another example, such as Figure 20c and Figure 20d As shown, the ring is a polygon with an even number of sides, such as a polygon with 4, 6, or 8 sides. In this way, the first magnetically attracted array 113 with even-numbered polygons can generate complex magnetic field shapes, reducing leakage of external magnetic fields, achieving efficient magnetic field utilization, and improving its stability and uniformity. Furthermore, even-numbered polygons allow for precise control of the magnetic field. Further, the polygon is a regular polygon. It should be noted that the polygon can also be a non-regular polygon (not shown in the figure), and this embodiment does not impose any limitations on this.
[0269] For example, such as Figure 20c As shown, the polygon is a rectangle, with two pairs of perpendicular opposite sides parallel to the length direction (x) and width direction (y) of the host 11, respectively. In this case, the first magnetically attracted array 113 of the rectangle can better adapt to the shape of the host 11 while improving the stability and uniformity of the magnetic field, thus reducing the space occupied inside the host 11. Figure 20d For example, the polygon is a regular octagon.
[0270] In other possible implementations, such as Figure 20eAs shown, the first magnetically attracted array 113 is cross-shaped to form two mutually perpendicular first magnetically attracted groups 1123. The first magnetically attracted elements 1121 in one first magnetically attracted group 1123 are arranged along the length direction x of the host, and the first magnetically attracted elements 1121 in the other first magnetically attracted group 1123 are arranged along the width direction y of the host. That is, when the first magnetically attracted array 113 is cross-shaped, it is easier to reuse the magnetically attracted elements 52 when switching between vertical and horizontal placement, thereby reducing weight and achieving a thinner and lighter design. In addition, the cross-shaped layout occupies less space, which helps to save internal space of the electronic device 100 (e.g., host 11) and improve the space utilization of the host 11.
[0271] It should be noted that the number of first magnetically attracted members 1121 in one first magnetically attracted group 1123 may be the same as or different from the number of first magnetically attracted members 1121 in the other first magnetically attracted group 1123, and this application embodiment does not impose any limitation on this. In one example, the number of first magnetically attracted members 1121 in one first magnetically attracted group 1123 is the same as the number of first magnetically attracted members 1121 in the other first magnetically attracted group 1123.
[0272] The above mainly describes the arrangement of the multiple first magnetically attracted components in the first magnetically attracted assembly of the host. The following text will describe the cooperation between the first magnetically attracted component in the first magnetically attracted assembly and the first magnetically attracted component in the first magnetically attracted assembly, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0273] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 19a and Figure 19b As shown, and in combination Figures 6a-6c It is understood that the shape of the first magnetically attracted array 113 matches the shape of the first magnetically attracted array 413. In this way, the first magnetically attracted array 113 in the host 11 and the first magnetically attracted array 413 in the first support plate 41 can be better adapted, so that more first magnetically attracted components 1121 can be reused as magnetically attracted components 52, which not only forms a stable and stronger magnetic attraction force, improving the support stability of the support device 300, but also reduces the weight of the first magnetically attracted component 112, achieving a lightweight and portable design.
[0274] Specifically, in one possible implementation, such as Figure 19a and Figure 19bAs shown, when the first magnetic array 413 is circular, the first magnetically attracted array 113 can also be circular. Thus, when the host 11 is mounted horizontally on the first support plate 41, the circular first magnetic array 413 and the circular first magnetically attracted array 113 can completely overlap and attract each other. When the host 11 is mounted vertically on the first support plate 41, the circular first magnetic array 413 still completely overlaps and attracts the circular first magnetically attracted array 113. In other words, all the first magnetic elements 4121 in the circular first magnetic array 413 are configured as reused magnetic elements 51, and all the first magnetically attracted elements 1121 in the circular first magnetically attracted array 113 are configured as reused magnetically attracted elements 52. This reduces the number and weight of the first magnetic elements 4121 in the first support plate 41 of the support device 300 and the interior of the host 11, and also reduces the space occupied by the first support plate 41 and the host 11, which is beneficial for the lightweight and portable design of the electronic device 100.
[0275] In other possible implementations, such as Figure 20d As shown, and in combination Figure 11c It is understood that when the first magnetic array 413 is arranged in a cross shape, the first magnetically attracted array 113 can also be arranged in a cross shape to form two mutually perpendicular first magnetically attracted groups 1123. In one first magnetically attracted group 1123, the first magnetically attracted elements 1121 are arranged along the length direction x of the host 11, and in the other first magnetically attracted group 1123, the first magnetically attracted elements 1121 are arranged along the width direction y of the host 11. The number of first magnetically attracted elements 1121 in one first magnetically attracted group 1123 and the number of first magnetically attracted elements 1121 in the other first magnetically attracted group 1123 can be the same or different; this embodiment does not impose such limitations.
[0276] Specifically, when the host 11 is installed horizontally on the first support plate 41, the first magnetic array 413 in a cross shape overlaps and attracts the first magnetically attracted array 113 in a cross shape. Specifically, the first magnetic element 4121 in one of the first magnetic groups 4123 overlaps (may partially or completely overlap) and attracts the first magnetically attracted element 1121 in one of the first magnetically attracted groups 1123. Similarly, the first magnetic element 4121 in another first magnetic group 4123 overlaps (may partially or completely overlap) and attracts the first magnetically attracted element 1121 in another first magnetically attracted group 1123. Figure 11cAs shown, when the host 11 is installed vertically on the first support plate 41, the cross-shaped first magnetic array 413 overlaps and attracts the cross-shaped first magnetically attracted array 113. Specifically, the first magnetic element 4121 in one of the first magnetic arrays 4123 overlaps (partially or completely overlaps) and attracts the first magnetically attracted element 1121 in the other first magnetically attracted array 1123, and the first magnetic element 4121 in the other first magnetic array 4123 overlaps (partially or completely overlaps) and attracts the first magnetically attracted element 1121 in one of the first magnetically attracted arrays 1123. In other words, some or all of the first magnetic elements 4121 in the cross-shaped first magnetic array 413 are configured as multiplexed magnetic elements 51, and some or all of the first magnetically attracted elements 1121 in the cross-shaped first magnetically attracted array 113 are configured as multiplexed magnetically attracted elements 52.
[0277] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 19a As shown, and in combination Figure 16b It is understood that when the host 11 is placed horizontally on the first support plate 41, the preset magnetic attraction area 1122 is located in the area where the sub-host overlap area 1181 of the host 11 contacts the second sub-support overlap area 4172 of the first support plate 41. All the first magnetic attraction components 1121 in the first magnetic attraction assembly 112 are configured as reused magnetic attraction components 52. At this time, the overall weight of the first magnetic attraction assembly 1121 can be reduced, and the internal space occupied by the host 11 is reduced, which can improve space utilization and provide sufficient space for the placement of other devices, thereby realizing the design of a thinner and more portable electronic device. In one example, the preset magnetic attraction area 1122 is: the area in the sub-host overlap area 1181 of the host 11 that contacts the second sub-support overlap area 4172 of the first support plate 41.
[0278] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 19a and Figure 19b The first magnetically attracted array 113 is located entirely within the preset magnetically attracted region 1122.
[0279] Understandably, in order to further improve the support reliability of the support device 300 when the main unit 11 is placed vertically, such as... Figures 17a-17c As shown, a second magnetic attraction component 45 and a second magnetically attracted component 431 can be provided on the support device 300, which will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0280] Please see Figures 21-24 , Figure 21 This is a structural diagram of the input device in an embodiment of this application when a carrier is provided. Figure 22a This is a front view of the input device in an embodiment of this application when a carrier is provided. Figure 22bThis is a structural schematic diagram from another perspective when the input device of this application is equipped with a carrier. Figure 23a This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the input device in this application embodiment, which includes a second magnetic component and a second magnetically attracted component. Figure 23b This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the input device in this application embodiment, which includes a second magnetic component and a second magnetically attracted component. Figure 24 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the input device with a receiving slot in an embodiment of this application.
[0281] like Figures 21-24 As shown, in one possible implementation, the first support plate 41 includes a first portion 418 and a second portion 419. The first portion 418 includes a first edge 4181 and a second edge 4182 disposed opposite to each other. The second portion 419 extends from the first edge 4181 of the first portion 418 in a direction away from the second edge 4182. The second support plate 42 includes a first edge 421 and a second edge 422 disposed opposite to each other. The first edge 421 of the second support plate 42 is rotatably connected to the base 43, and the second edge 422 of the second support plate 42 is rotatably connected to the first edge 4181 of the first portion 418. A strip-shaped support member 4191 is provided at a position in the second portion 419 away from the first portion 418. One side 4191A of the support member 4191 has an inwardly recessed positioning groove 4192, which is used to position the main unit 11 and contact the bottom of the main unit 11.
[0282] In other possible implementations, such as Figures 17a-17c As shown, and in combination Figures 1a-1c As shown, when the main unit is placed horizontally, the long side of the main unit 11 can be magnetically attracted and fixed to the base 43, or fixed by providing a positioning groove 4192 on the base. This embodiment does not limit this. When the main unit is placed vertically, the short side of the main unit 11 is magnetically attracted and fixed to the base 43, or fixed by providing a positioning groove 4192 on the base 43. In one example, the long side of the main unit 11 is provided with a second magnetic component 45, and the short side of the main unit 11 is also provided with a second magnetic component 45. It can be magnetically fixed to the second magnetically attracted component 431 on the base in both horizontal and vertical placement states, thereby improving the reliability and stability of use. The specific structure of the second magnetic component 45 and the second magnetically attracted component 431 will be described later.
[0283] It should be noted that the size and shape of the support member 4191 are not limited. In one possible implementation, the support member 4191 is a square plate with a width that is exactly the same as the width of the main unit 11 and a height that is the same as the height of the second support plate 42. In this way, the support member can just support the main unit without occupying the storage space in the support device, and can position and fix the use angle α1 of the main unit, which has good portability and ease of operation.
[0284] like Figure 23a and Figure 23b As shown, and in combination Figures 6a-6c It is understood that the support device 300 also includes a second magnetic attraction component 45 and a second magnetically attracted component 431. The second magnetic attraction component 45 is fixedly disposed on the carrier 4191, and the second magnetically attracted component 431 is fixedly disposed on the base 43. When the first support plate 41 rotates to a preset angle position where the first included angle α2 is, the second magnetic attraction component 45 and the second magnetically attracted component 431 are attracted to each other, so that the other side 4191B of the carrier 4191 contacts and is attracted and fixed to the upper surface 432 of the base 43.
[0285] It should be noted that the first included angle α2 is a preset angle and is not limited. It is determined according to the usage angle α1 of the host. For example, it can be 120 degrees. Users can choose according to their own usage habits.
[0286] It should be noted that the usage angle α1 of the host is unlimited. In one possible implementation, such as... Figure 23a As shown, in either the horizontal or vertical placement state, the main unit is fixed in place by back attraction (i.e., the magnetic attraction between the first magnetic component and the first magnetically attracted component). When a set of second magnetically attracted components 431 is provided on the base 43, it can be fixedly attracted to the second magnetic component 45 on the support member 4191. At this time, the main unit has only one usage angle in either the horizontal or vertical placement state. In other possible implementations, such as... Figure 23b As shown, the base 43 is equipped with two sets of second magnetically attracted components 431, both of which can be fixedly attracted to the second magnetically attracted component 45 on the support 4191. This allows the main unit to be used at two different angles, either horizontally or vertically, improving the user experience. It is understandable that the solution of having multiple sets of second magnetically attracted components 431 on the base 43 also applies to the solution of having second magnetically attracted components 45 on the main unit 11. Figures 17a-17c The scheme shown.
[0287] In other words, the second part 419 of the first support plate 41 is provided with a carrier 4191, which includes a positioning groove 4192 to position the host 11 and better support and fix the host 11. Furthermore, the carrier 4191 is provided with a second magnetic attraction component 45 for adsorbing and fixing with the second magnetic attraction component 431 of the base 43, so that the host 11 does not need to be equipped with other magnetic attraction components when placed vertically, which can also improve the reliability of the host 11 in the vertical placement state.
[0288] One possible implementation is, such as Figure 23a As shown, the second magnetic attraction assembly 45 includes a plurality of second magnetic attracting elements 451 arranged along the length x of the support member 4191, the second magnetically attracted assembly 431 includes a plurality of second magnetically attracted elements 4311, and the support device 300 includes a plurality of second magnetic attraction assemblies 45 arranged along the length x of the support member 4191. In this way, the host 11 can have sufficient and uniform magnetic attraction force even in a vertically placed state, thereby improving the reliability of the host 11's support and fixation in a vertically placed state. Specifically, the plurality of second magnetic attracting elements 451 are attracted to the plurality of second magnetically attracted elements 4311, thereby better supporting the host, especially when the host 11 is in a vertically placed state. It should be noted that the number of second magnetic attracting elements 451 in the second magnetic attraction assembly 45 is not limited, and those skilled in the art can reasonably set it according to actual needs. Furthermore, the number of second magnetic attracting elements 451 and second magnetically attracted elements 4311 can be the same or different, and this application embodiment does not impose any limitations on this.
[0289] In other possible implementations, the second magnetic element 451 can also be arranged along the thickness direction z of the carrier element 4191, which can provide sufficient magnetic attraction in a small arrangement space.
[0290] It should be noted that the specific structure of the second magnetic component 45 is not limited. In one possible implementation, such as... Figure 23a As shown, the second magnetic traction assembly 45 includes two second magnetic traction groups 452, each of which includes multiple second magnetic elements 451. These are disposed on one side of the second portion 419 of the first support plate 41, enabling the second magnetic traction assembly 45 to better support the host 11 and improve the reliability of the support device 300. It should be noted that the number of second magnetic traction groups 452 in the second magnetic traction assembly 45 is unlimited, and the number of second magnetic elements 451 included in each second magnetic traction group 452 is also unlimited. The number of second magnetic elements 451 in each second magnetic traction group 452 can be the same or different; this embodiment does not impose any limitations on this.
[0291] Furthermore, in one possible implementation, such as Figure 24As shown, the front of the second support plate 42 has an inwardly recessed receiving groove 423. When the first support plate 41 is rotated to a position where it is on the same plane as the second support plate 42, the second part 419 is accommodated in the receiving groove 423. The front of the second support plate 42 is the side facing the host when the support device 300 is supporting the host. This structure allows the second part 419 of the first support plate 41 to be housed in the groove of the second support plate 42, improving the space utilization of the support device 300 and facilitating a reduction in the thickness of the support device 300, thus meeting the design requirements of a lightweight and simple electronic device 100. In other possible implementations, the front of the second support plate 42 may not have a receiving groove; this embodiment does not limit this.
[0292] In one possible implementation, the first support plate 41 has a cavity inside to accommodate the first magnetic component 412, the carrier 4191 has a cavity inside to accommodate the second magnetic component 45, and the base 43 has a cavity inside to accommodate the second magnetically attracted component 431. In this way, both the magnetic components and the magnetically attracted components are located inside the various structural components of the support device 300, without increasing the thickness of the support device 300. This improves the space utilization of the support device 300 and contributes to its simple appearance.
[0293] In other possible implementations, the first magnetic component 412 can also be disposed on the side of the first support plate 41 that contacts the host 11, which can better position the host 11 for support. In addition, the second magnetic component 45 on the carrier 4191 can also be disposed on its other side 4191B that protrudes from the outer surface of the first support plate 41 (not shown in the figure). In this way, the second magnetic component 45 can better position the host and facilitate operation.
[0294] It should be noted that the specific types of the first magnetic attractor 4121 and the first magnetically attracted member 1121 are not limited in the embodiments of this application. They can be structural components such as magnets that are magnetic themselves, or structural components that are not magnetic themselves but can be attracted by a magnet. In one example, the first magnetic attractor 4121 is a magnet, and the first magnetically attracted member 1121 is a magnet or a structural component that is not magnetic itself, as long as the attraction and fixation between the first magnetic attractor 4121 and the first magnetically attracted member 1121 is achieved. In another example, the first magnetic attractor 4121 is a structural component that is not magnetic itself, and the first magnetically attracted member 1121 is a magnet.
[0295] Furthermore, the specific types of the second magnetic attractor 451 and the second magnetically attracted member 4311 are not limited in the embodiments of this application. They can be structural members such as magnets that are magnetic in themselves, or structural members that are not magnetic in themselves but can be attracted by magnets. Those skilled in the art can make specific settings according to actual needs.
[0296] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this application without departing from the spirit and scope of this application. Therefore, if such modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this application and their equivalents, this application also intends to include such modifications and variations.
