Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of support technology, and in particular to a support device, input device, and electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] The use of electronic devices has become integrated into all aspects of life, and more and more users are paying attention to the thin and light design and portability of electronic devices. For example, in the use of tablets, in addition to their excellent touch screen input method, users can also connect external input devices such as keyboards to the tablet to meet the needs of different scenarios and improve the input efficiency and interactivity of electronic devices.

[0003] Currently, the connection between input devices and the host computer typically relies on support devices for fixation and support. While this design can meet users' needs for flexible adjustment based on usage habits to some extent, it still presents several problems in practical use. For example, as users increasingly demand the use of the host computer in a vertical position, the support device cannot flexibly switch between horizontal and vertical positions. Furthermore, the stability of the support device is insufficient during horizontal or vertical use, making it prone to wobbling or tipping over, which significantly impacts the user experience.

[0004] Therefore, the existing support devices cannot meet the requirement of flexibly switching between horizontal and vertical placement of the host. Utility Model Content

[0005] The support device, input device, and electronic device provided in this application embodiment solve the problem that the support device in the prior art cannot meet the problem of flexibly switching between horizontal and vertical placement of the host.

[0006] A first aspect of this application provides a support device for supporting a host computer. The support device includes a carrier and a support bracket, wherein the carrier is used to fix the host computer on one side along its thickness direction, and the support bracket is disposed on the other side of the carrier along its thickness direction and supports the carrier. The support bracket includes a first support member and a second support member rotatably connected, the first support member supporting the carrier, and the second support member supporting a support surface.

[0007] The first support member and the carrier member are provided with a sliding structure. The sliding structure includes a groove and a sliding member. One of the groove and the sliding member is provided on the first support member and the other is provided on the carrier member. The sliding member is slidably connected to the groove along the length of the groove, so that the carrier member can rotate relative to the first support member between a horizontal placement state and a vertical placement state, thereby driving the main unit fixedly installed on the carrier member to switch between a horizontal placement state and a vertical placement state.

[0008] The support device provided in this application embodiment can support the main unit, making the usage angle of the main unit relatively flexible and meeting the usage needs of different scenarios. The support device includes a carrier and a support bracket. The main unit is fixedly installed on one side of the carrier, and a support bracket is provided on the other side. Specifically, the support bracket includes a first support member and a second support member. The second support member supports the support surface, and the first support member, which is rotatably connected to the second support member, supports the carrier, thereby enabling the main unit to be supported on the support surface and allowing the main unit to be suspended at any angle to meet different user needs.

[0009] The first support member and the carrier member are provided with a sliding structure. The sliding groove of the sliding structure can be provided on the first support member, and the corresponding sliding member of the sliding structure is provided on the carrier member. Alternatively, the sliding groove of the sliding structure can also be provided on the carrier member, and the corresponding sliding member of the sliding structure is provided on the first support member, so that the sliding member is slidably connected to the sliding groove, realizing the sliding connection between the first support member and the carrier member. That is to say, the carrier member can rotate relative to the first support member between a horizontal placement state and a vertical placement state, thereby driving the main unit fixedly installed on the carrier member to switch between a horizontal placement state and a vertical placement state. In this way, the main unit can realize flexible switching between a horizontal placement state and a vertical placement state, which is convenient for user operation and can improve the user experience.

[0010] Understandably, the sliding structure includes a sliding groove and a sliding component. Its structure is simple and easy to operate. Furthermore, the sliding structure can be designed to be a small structure. While ensuring structural reliability, the sliding structure occupies less space on the first support and the load-bearing component. The sliding structure can even be hidden on the side of the first support near the load-bearing component, which is beneficial to the aesthetics and simplicity of the support device.

[0011] Furthermore, the sliding structure is disposed between the first support member and the load-bearing member, and can be configured to be a small structure, so it occupies less space in the support device and is lighter in weight, thereby reducing the weight of the support device.

[0012] Furthermore, a sliding structure is positioned between the first support member and the carrier member. The main unit is fixedly mounted on the carrier member. By setting the sliding structure, the carrier member can rotate relative to the first support member, thereby enabling the main unit to switch between horizontal and vertical placement. It can be understood that the main unit does not need to design different support and matching schemes to meet the requirements of horizontal and vertical placement (for example, the long and short sides of the main unit do not need to be equipped with magnetic attachment parts for magnetic attraction to the base, because the position of the main unit fixed to the carrier member remains unchanged in both horizontal and vertical placement states. When the main unit and the carrier member are fixed by magnetic attraction, the main unit only needs to set one set of magnetic attraction structure, which is simpler and more flexible in layout). Therefore, it will not occupy the internal stacking layout of the main unit, and the main unit design is more flexible, which is conducive to the thin and light design of the main unit, thereby realizing the thin and light design of electronic devices.

[0013] On the other hand, support devices can provide physical protection for the host, preventing it from being scratched, bumped, or dropped during daily use. They can also enhance the functionality of electronic devices, such as by equipping them with keyboards and touchpads, thereby improving the user experience.

[0014] Furthermore, the support device can be adapted to different types of host units, making the host unit type more flexible. By fixing different types of host units to the support device, the host unit can be flexibly switched between horizontal and vertical placement, which reduces the design limitations on the support device and the host unit.

[0015] In summary, the support device provided in this application embodiment allows for flexible switching between horizontal and vertical placement of the host device. Furthermore, it facilitates the thinner and lighter design of electronic devices, provides protection for electronic devices, enhances their functionality, and improves the user experience.

[0016] In one possible implementation, the groove is configured as a strip groove, and the slider is configured as a sliding shaft, which is slidably connected to the strip groove along its length.

[0017] The above-described solution results in a simple and highly reliable sliding structure. Furthermore, the design of the strip groove and sliding shaft allows for a large range of motion within a relatively small space, reducing the internal space required and facilitating a thinner and lighter design for the support device.

[0018] In one possible implementation, the strip groove is configured as an elongated strip groove extending along a straight line, the direction of which is perpendicular to the thickness direction of the first support member, and the sliding shaft is also rotatably connected to the strip groove about its own axis.

[0019] When the carrier is in a horizontal position, the sliding shaft is located at a first position along the length of the strip groove. When the carrier is in a vertical position, the sliding shaft is located at a second position along the length of the strip groove. When the carrier switches from a horizontal to a vertical position, the sliding shaft slides from the first position along the length of the strip groove to the second position, and the sliding shaft rotates around its axis within the strip groove.

[0020] With the above solution, the sliding shaft in the elongated groove moves in a straight line, making the sliding smoother and improving the user experience.

[0021] In one possible implementation, the strip groove is configured as a strip groove extending along an arc, with the direction of the tangent at each position of the arc perpendicular to the thickness direction of the first support member.

[0022] In one possible implementation, when the carrier changes from a horizontal to a vertical placement, the outer wall of the sliding shaft is always in contact with the wall of the strip groove.

[0023] In one possible implementation, the first support member is configured as a plate-like structure, and the groove is configured as a recessed groove extending from the front side of the first support member toward the back side, or a through groove extending through the first support member along the thickness direction of the first support member. The front side and the back side of the first support member are arranged opposite to each other, and the front side is the surface of the first support member that contacts the bearing member.

[0024] In the thickness direction of the support member, the sliding member extends from the back of the support member in a direction away from the support member, and the back of the support member is the surface of the support member that contacts the first support member.

[0025] By adopting the above scheme, the thickness of the first support member with a plate-like structure can be reduced. When the groove is set as a recess, the recess is not visible on the back of the first support member, and the sliding structure can be better hidden inside the support device, which is beneficial to the aesthetics of the support device. When the groove is set as a through groove, there is a larger contact area between the groove of the first support member and the sliding member of the bearing member, which can improve the reliability of the support device.

[0026] In one possible implementation, when the groove is configured as a through groove, the end of the slider away from the carrier is aligned with the side of the through groove away from the carrier, or the end of the slider away from the carrier is located inside or outside the side of the through groove away from the carrier.

[0027] In one possible implementation, the length direction of the chute is parallel to the length direction of the first support member.

[0028] In one possible implementation, when the second support member of the support bracket is supported on the support surface, the length direction of the groove is parallel to the support surface.

[0029] In one possible implementation, when the carrier is placed horizontally, the length direction of the groove is parallel to the length direction of the carrier, and when the carrier is placed vertically, the length direction of the groove is parallel to the width direction of the carrier.

[0030] By adopting the above structure, the shortest length of the slide can be determined during the switching of different states of the load-bearing member connected to the first support member, thereby reducing space occupation and facilitating the lightweight design of the support device.

[0031] In one possible implementation, the support device further includes a base for supporting the support surface, and a first support member and / or a second support member are rotatably connected to the base. When the carrier member is in a horizontally placed state, one long side of the carrier member is magnetically attracted to the base, and when the carrier member is in a vertically placed state, one short side of the carrier member is magnetically attracted to the base. The long side is one edge portion of the carrier member extending along its length direction, and the short side is one edge portion of the carrier member extending along its width direction.

[0032] By adopting the above solution, the carrier can have sufficient and uniform magnetic attraction between itself and the base in both horizontal and vertical placement states, thereby ensuring the reliability of the carrier's fixation to the base in different states and thus improving the reliability of the host support fixation in different states.

[0033] Furthermore, by fixing the main unit to the carrier, when the carrier is switched to a horizontal position, and the main unit fixed on it is also switched to a horizontal position, the carrier is magnetically attracted to the base via one long side (e.g., the first edge), thus securing the carrier to the base without requiring the long side of the main unit to be magnetically attached to the base, ensuring reliable fixation between the main unit and the base. Similarly, when the carrier is switched to a vertical position, and the main unit fixed on it is also switched to a vertical position, the carrier is magnetically attracted to the base via one short side (e.g., the second edge), thus securing the carrier to the base without requiring the short side of the main unit to be magnetically attached to the base, ensuring reliable fixation between the main unit and the base. In other words, neither the long nor short side of the main unit needs to be magnetically attached to the base to achieve fixation, resulting in a simpler main unit structure and a more flexible internal layout.

[0034] In one possible implementation, a first magnetic attraction component is fixed to one long side of the carrier, a second magnetic attraction component is fixed to one short side of the carrier, and a first magnetically attracted component is fixed to the base. When the carrier is placed horizontally, the first magnetic attraction component and the first magnetically attracted component are attracted and fixed, so that the long side of the carrier is attracted and fixed to the base. When the carrier is placed vertically, the second magnetic attraction component and the first magnetically attracted component are attracted and fixed, so that the short side of the carrier is attracted and fixed to the base.

[0035] In one possible implementation, the first magnetic absorbing assembly includes at least one first magnetic element, the second magnetic absorbing assembly includes at least one second magnetic element, and the first magnetically attracted assembly includes at least one first magnetically attracted element. When the carrier is placed horizontally, the first magnetic element in the first magnetic absorbing assembly is attracted and fixed to the first magnetically attracted element in the first magnetically attracted assembly. When the carrier is placed vertically, the second magnetic element in the second magnetic absorbing assembly is attracted and fixed to the first magnetically attracted element in the first magnetically attracted assembly.

[0036] In one possible implementation, the first magnetic absorbing assembly includes a plurality of first magnetic elements arranged along the length of the carrier, the second magnetic absorbing assembly includes a plurality of second magnetic elements arranged along the width of the carrier, and the first magnetically attracted assembly includes a plurality of first magnetically attracted elements. When the carrier is placed horizontally, the plurality of first magnetic elements in the first magnetic absorbing assembly are attracted and fixed to the plurality of first magnetically attracted elements in the first magnetically attracted assembly. When the carrier is placed vertically, the plurality of second magnetic elements in the second magnetic absorbing assembly are attracted and fixed to the plurality of first magnetically attracted elements in the first magnetically attracted assembly.

[0037] A second aspect of this application provides a support device for supporting a host computer. The support device includes a carrier and a support bracket, wherein the carrier is used to fix the host computer on one side along its thickness direction, and the support bracket is disposed on the other side of the carrier along its thickness direction and supports the carrier. The support bracket includes a first support member and a second support member rotatably connected, the first support member being fixedly connected to the carrier, and the second support member being used to support a support surface.

[0038] The second support member includes a first edge, which is rotatably connected to the first support member. The second support member has a horizontal support portion and a vertical support portion at a position away from the first edge. When the carrier member is placed horizontally and supported on the support surface, the second support member is opened relative to the first support member, and the horizontal support portion of the second support member is supported on the support surface. When the carrier member is placed vertically and supported on the support surface, the second support member is opened relative to the first support member, and the vertical support portion of the second support member is supported on the support surface.

[0039] The support device provided in this application embodiment can support the main unit, making the usage angle of the main unit relatively flexible and meeting the usage needs of different scenarios. The support device includes a carrier and a support bracket, wherein the main unit is fixedly installed on one side of the carrier and the support bracket is provided on the other side. Specifically, the support bracket includes a first support member and a second support member. The first support member and the second support member can rotate relative to each other. Furthermore, the second support member supports a support surface, and the first support member is fixedly connected to the carrier, so that the main unit fixedly installed on the carrier can rotate relative to the support surface, that is, the main unit can be suspended at any angle to meet different user needs.

[0040] Specifically, when the carrier is placed horizontally on the support surface, the horizontal support part of the second support is supported on the support surface, so that the main unit fixedly installed on the carrier is placed horizontally. When the carrier is placed vertically on the support surface, the vertical support part of the second support is supported on the support surface, so that the main unit fixedly installed on the carrier is placed vertically, thus realizing flexible switching of the main unit in different placement states.

[0041] In other words, the second support member of the support bracket inside the support device is provided with a horizontal support part and a vertical support part, which can realize the switching between the horizontal and vertical placement of the main unit. Furthermore, by selecting the horizontal and vertical support parts on the second support member, it can adapt to different placement states of the main unit without changing the overall structure of the second support member or adding other mating parts. It has the advantages of simple structure and stable support.

[0042] Furthermore, the main unit is fixedly mounted on the carrier, which is fixedly connected to the first support. The first and second supports are rotatably connected. Therefore, by switching between the horizontal and vertical support parts of the second support, the main unit can be switched between horizontal and vertical placement. It can be understood that the main unit does not need to design different support and matching schemes to meet the requirements of horizontal and vertical placement (for example, the long and short sides of the main unit do not need to be equipped with magnetic attachment parts for magnetic attraction with the base, because the position of the main unit fixed to the carrier remains unchanged in both horizontal and vertical placement. When the main unit and the carrier are fixed by magnetic attraction, the main unit only needs to set one set of magnetic attraction structure, which is simpler and more flexible in layout). Therefore, it will not occupy the internal stacking layout of the main unit, and the main unit design is more flexible, which is conducive to the thin and light design of the main unit, thereby realizing the thin and light design of electronic devices.

[0043] On the other hand, support devices can provide physical protection for the host, preventing it from being scratched, bumped, or dropped during daily use. They can also enhance the functionality of electronic devices, such as by equipping them with keyboards and touchpads, thereby improving the user experience.

[0044] Furthermore, the support device can be adapted to different types of host units, making the host unit type more flexible. By fixing different types of host units to the support device, the host unit can be flexibly switched between horizontal and vertical placement, which reduces the design limitations on the support device and the host unit.

[0045] In summary, the support device provided in this application embodiment allows for flexible switching between horizontal and vertical placement of the host device. Furthermore, it facilitates the thinner and lighter design of electronic devices, provides protection for electronic devices, enhances their functionality, and improves the user experience.

[0046] In one possible implementation, when the carrier is placed horizontally, the horizontal support portion of the second support and the support surface are in point contact, line contact, or surface contact; when the carrier is placed vertically, the vertical support portion of the second support and the support surface are in point contact, line contact, or surface contact.

[0047] Using the above scheme, the load-bearing component can establish stable support with the supporting surface in both horizontal and vertical placement states. When the second support component is in point contact with the supporting surface, the flatness requirement of the supporting surface is not high, resulting in more balanced forces and improved structural stability. When the second support component is in line contact with the supporting surface, its contact area increases, thus improving stability. When the second support component is in surface contact with the supporting surface, its contact area is even larger, significantly enhancing the stability of the supporting structure.

[0048] In one possible implementation, the carrier includes a first side edge, a second side edge, a third side edge, and a fourth side edge that are sequentially connected along its circumference. The first side edge and the third side edge are disposed opposite each other in the width direction of the carrier, and the second side edge and the fourth side edge are disposed opposite each other in the length direction of the carrier. When the carrier is placed horizontally, the first side edge is supported on the support surface, and when the carrier is placed vertically, the second side edge is supported on the support surface.

[0049] In one possible implementation, the second support member is configured as a strip-shaped plate structure and includes a first end and a second end disposed opposite to each other along its length direction. The first edge is located at the edge of the first end, and the lateral support portion and the vertical support portion are located at the edge of the second end. The first edge is rotatably connected to the first support member about a first axis, the first axis being perpendicular to the thickness direction of the support member, and the first axis being parallel to the width direction of the support member, or inclined relative to the length and width directions of the support member.

[0050] Using the above solution, the second support member is a strip-shaped plate structure, which can reduce the thickness of the support device and facilitate the lightweight design of the support device. Furthermore, the first edge located at the first end of the second support member is rotatably connected to the first support member around the first axis, allowing the angle between the carrier member and the second support member to be adjusted. This enables the main unit, fixedly installed on the carrier member, to flexibly switch between a horizontal and vertical placement.

[0051] Furthermore, the horizontal and vertical support parts on the second support member can be designed to be smaller in size while ensuring stable support. That is, the second support member can be a long strip plate structure, which can reduce its weight compared to a planar plate structure, thereby reducing the weight of the support device and facilitating a lightweight design.

[0052] In one possible implementation, when the first axis is parallel to the width direction of the carrier, the projection of the second support member on the carrier along the thickness direction of the carrier is located at the first side edge, the projection of the first end of the second support member is located in the area where the first side edge connects with the fourth side edge, and the projection of the second end of the second support member is located in the area where the first side edge connects with the second side edge.

[0053] The lateral support is set as a lateral support edge and is in line contact with the support surface when supported, or the lateral support is set as a lateral support point and is in point contact with the support surface when supported; the vertical support is set as a vertical support edge, which is parallel to the width direction of the bearing member and is in line contact with the support surface when supported.

[0054] Using the above scheme, the lateral support part on the second support member can be stably supported on the support surface through line contact or point contact, and the vertical support part can be stably supported on the support surface through line contact, ensuring the support reliability of the support device.

[0055] In one possible implementation, when the first axis is inclined relative to the length and width directions of the carrier, the projection of the second support member onto the carrier along the thickness direction of the carrier is located in a diagonal region of the carrier, where the diagonal region is the area where any diagonal line is located.

[0056] By adopting the above solution, the second support member can provide more stable support for the carrier and the host (i.e., the first diagonal area) where the center of gravity of the carrier and the host fixedly installed on the carrier are located, thereby improving the support reliability of the support device.

[0057] In one possible implementation, the support member has intersecting first and second diagonal regions. The first diagonal region is the area containing the first diagonal line; the first corner is where the first side edge meets the second side edge, and the second corner is where the third side edge meets the fourth side edge; the line connecting the vertices of the first and second corners is the first diagonal line. The second diagonal region is the area containing the second diagonal line; the third corner is where the first and fourth side edges meet, and the fourth corner is where the second and third side edges meet; the line connecting the vertices of the third and fourth corners is the second diagonal line. The projection of the second support member along the thickness direction of the support member onto the support member lies within either the first or second diagonal region of the support member.

[0058] In one possible implementation, the lateral support portion is configured as a lateral support edge, which gradually approaches the first edge from one end to the other and is in line contact with the support surface when supported; the vertical support portion is configured as a vertical support edge, which is in line contact with the support surface when supported; or, the vertical support portion is configured as a vertical support point, which is in point contact with the support surface when supported.

[0059] In one possible implementation, the support device further includes a base for supporting a support surface. The carrier is detachably and magnetically fixed to the base and supported on the support surface by the base. When the carrier is placed horizontally, its first edge is magnetically attracted to the base; when the carrier is placed vertically, its second edge is magnetically attracted to the base.

[0060] When the support component is subjected to external force, it can rotate and switch between horizontal and vertical placement relative to the base.

[0061] With the above solution, the main unit is fixedly connected to the carrier, the carrier can rotate relative to the base, and the base is supported on the support surface, thereby enabling the main unit to be suspended at different angles relative to the support surface to meet different user needs.

[0062] In one possible implementation, the first support member is configured as a plate-like structure, and the first support member and the load-bearing member are configured as an integral structure or a separate structure.

[0063] Using the above scheme, the thickness of the first support member of the plate-like structure can be reduced. When the first support member and the load-bearing member are set as an integral structure, the thickness of the support device is relatively thin, which is beneficial to the lightweight design of the support device. When the first support member and the load-bearing member are set as a separate structure, the design scheme of the load-bearing member is less constrained, and the design of the load-bearing member and the first support member is more flexible and reliable.

[0064] In one possible implementation, the first support member is configured as a strip-shaped plate structure, and when the second support member is closed relative to the first support member, the second support member overlaps with the first support member.

[0065] In one possible implementation, the support member is configured as a plate-like structure. Alternatively, the support member is configured as a shell-like structure, including a support plate and a frame, with the frame connected to the outer periphery of the support plate. When the support device is in the open state, the support member, the first support member, and the second support member form a triangular support structure.

[0066] By adopting the above scheme, when the host is placed horizontally or vertically, a triangular support structure is formed between the load-bearing component, the first support component, and the second support component, which has good support stability.

[0067] A third aspect of this application provides an input device, including an input apparatus and a support apparatus provided by the first or second aspect and any possible implementation thereof, wherein the input apparatus is configured to operably control a host computer mounted on a carrier.

[0068] The input device provided in this application embodiment is equipped with the support device mentioned above. The support device can flexibly switch between horizontal and vertical placement of the host, and it is conducive to the thinner and lighter design of electronic devices. It can also protect electronic devices, enhance their functionality, and thus improve the user experience.

[0069] In one possible implementation, the input device includes a keyboard, wherein the base of the support device is reused as the housing of the keyboard, or the base of the support device and the housing of the keyboard are independently disposed and fixedly connected to each other.

[0070] A fourth aspect of this application provides an electronic device, including a host and an input device provided in the third aspect and any possible implementation thereof, wherein the host is fixedly mounted in a support member of a support device in the input device.

[0071] The electronic device provided in this application embodiment is equipped with the input device mentioned above, which can meet the flexible switching between horizontal and vertical placement of the host. Furthermore, it is conducive to the thinner and lighter design of the electronic device, and can also provide protection for the electronic device, enhance its functionality, and thus improve the user experience.

[0072] The fifth aspect of this application provides an electronic device, including a host and a support device provided by the first or second aspect and any possible implementation thereof, wherein the host is fixedly mounted on a carrier of the support device.

[0073] The electronic device provided in this application embodiment is equipped with the support device mentioned above. The support device can flexibly switch between horizontal and vertical placement of the host, and it is conducive to the thin and light design of the electronic device. It can also protect the electronic device, enhance its functionality, and thus improve the user experience.

[0074] In one possible implementation, the host and the carrier are magnetically or snapped together.

[0075] With the above solution, the host is fixedly connected to the carrier, and the carrier enables the switching of different states without occupying the internal stacking space of the host, which is conducive to the thinner and lighter design of the host.

[0076] In one possible implementation, the carrier is fixed with a third magnetic component, and the host is fixed with a second magnetically attracted component. The third magnetic component and the second magnetically attracted component are attracted and fixed together, so that the carrier contacts and is attracted and fixed to the back of the host.

[0077] In one possible implementation, the third magnetic assembly includes at least one third magnetic element, and the second magnetically attracted assembly includes at least one second magnetically attracted element. The third magnetic element in the third magnetic assembly is attracted and fixed to the second magnetically attracted element in the second magnetically attracted assembly. In another possible implementation, the third magnetic assembly includes multiple third magnetic elements arranged in a plane perpendicular to the thickness direction of the support member. The second magnetically attracted assembly includes multiple second magnetically attracted elements arranged in a plane perpendicular to the thickness direction of the host unit. The multiple third magnetic elements in the third magnetic assembly are attracted and fixed to the multiple second magnetically attracted elements in the second magnetically attracted assembly.

[0078] In one possible implementation, the host device is a tablet computer, smartphone, display device, or smart wearable device. Attached Figure Description

[0125] 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.

[0126] 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.

[0127] 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.

[0128] 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.

[0129] 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.

[0130] 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. Similarly, the mutual parallelism in the embodiments of this application is not absolute parallelism. Approximate parallelism due to processing errors and assembly errors (e.g., the included angle between two structural features is 1°) is also within the range of mutual parallelism in the embodiments of this application. The axial symmetry in the embodiments of this application is not absolute axial symmetry. Approximate axial 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 axial symmetry in the embodiments of this application. The central symmetry in the embodiments of this application is not absolute central symmetry. 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.

[0131] 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.

[0132] 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, existing support devices cannot flexibly switch between horizontal and vertical orientations. In addition, during horizontal or vertical use, the stability of the support device is insufficient, easily leading to wobbling or tipping, which greatly affects the user experience.

[0133] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a support device that allows for flexible switching between horizontal and vertical placement of the host device. Furthermore, it facilitates the design of thinner and lighter electronic devices, provides protection for the devices, enhances their functionality, and ultimately improves the user experience.

[0134] This application also provides an input device configured with the support device. The input device further includes input components, including but not limited to keyboards, touchpads, etc., which are not limited in this application.

[0135] 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.

[0136] The following section will first provide examples of specific application scenarios for electronic devices.

[0137] Please see Figures 1a-2 , Figure 1a This application presents a three-dimensional structural diagram of the electronic device in the first embodiment, showing the host unit in a vertically placed state. Figure 1b This is a side view of the electronic device in the first embodiment of this application, showing the host computer in a horizontally placed state. Figure 1c This is a schematic diagram of the electronic device in the first embodiment of this application, showing the host computer in a horizontally placed state from another perspective. Figure 1d This is a side view of the electronic device in the first embodiment of this application, showing the host computer in a vertically placed state. Figure 1e This is a schematic diagram of the electronic device in the first embodiment of this application, showing the host computer in a vertically placed state from another perspective. Figure 2 This is a side view schematic diagram of another implementation of the support device in the first embodiment of the electronic device of this application.

[0138] like Figure 1a As shown, the electronic device 100 includes a host 1 and an input device 2. The host 1 is fixedly mounted on the support member 31 of the support device 3 in the input device 2. It should be noted that the host 1 can be a tablet computer, a smartphone, a display device, or a smart wearable device, and this embodiment does not limit this. The host 1 will be described below using a tablet computer as an example.

[0139] Specifically, such as Figures 1a-1e As shown, the input device 2 includes an input device 21 and a support device 3. The input device 21 is configured to operably control the host 1 mounted on the support member 31. The specific type of the input device 21 is not limited. In one possible implementation, such as... Figure 1aAs shown, the input device 21 includes a keyboard 211, which can improve the user's input efficiency and interactivity. In another possible implementation, the input device 21 may also include a keyboard 211 and a touchpad (not shown in the figure), which is not limited in this embodiment. In other possible implementations, the input device 21 may also include electronic devices with other functions, such as remote sensing equipment.

[0140] like Figures 1a-2 As shown, in one possible implementation (i.e., the first embodiment of this application), the support device 3 includes a carrier 31 and a support bracket 32. The carrier 31 has a side 311 along its thickness direction Z for fixing the host 1. The support bracket 32 ​​is disposed on the other side 312 along the thickness direction Z of the carrier 31 and supports the carrier 31. The support bracket 32 ​​includes a first support member 321 and a second support member 322 rotatably connected. The first support member 321 supports the carrier 31, and the second support member 322 supports the support surface 5. In other words, the host 1 is fixedly installed on one side 311 of the carrier 31, and the support bracket 32 ​​is provided on the other side 312. Specifically, the support bracket 32 ​​includes a first support member 321 and a second support member 322. The second support member 322 supports the support surface 5, and the first support member 321, rotatably connected to the second support member 322, supports the carrier 31. This allows the host 1 to be supported on the support surface 5, enabling the host 1 to be suspended at any angle, meeting different user needs. The specific structure of the bearing component 31 will be explained in detail later.

[0141] It should be noted that the support surface 5 is the surface on which the support device 3 is placed, such as a desktop or tabletop. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0142] In another possible implementation, the support device 3 includes a carrier 31 and a support bracket 32. The carrier 31 has a side 311 along its thickness direction Z for fixing the main unit 1. The support bracket 32 ​​is located on the other side 312 along the thickness direction Z of the carrier 31 and supports the carrier 31. The support bracket 32 ​​includes a first support 321 and a second support 322 rotatably connected. The first support 321 is fixedly connected to the carrier 31, and the second support 322 is used to support the support surface 5 (see...). Figures 8a-12d (i.e., the second embodiment of this application). That is, the first support member 321 is fixedly connected to the carrier member 31, the first support member 321 and the second support member 322 can rotate relative to each other, and the second support member 322 is supported on the support surface 5, so that the host 1 fixedly installed on the carrier member 31 can rotate relative to the support surface 5, that is, the host 1 can be suspended at any angle to meet different user needs.

[0143] It is understood that, in one possible implementation, the thickness direction Z of the bearing member can also correspond to the thickness direction of the first support member 321 or the thickness direction of the host 1. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0144] It should be noted that the support method between the second support member 322 and the support surface 5 is not limited. In one example, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the second support surface 5 directly supports the support surface 5. In this case, the support device 3 is a split structure, that is, the second support member 322 of the support bracket 32 ​​does not overlap with the base 34. In another example, as... Figure 1b and Figure 1d As shown, the second support member 322 is indirectly supported on the support surface 5. For example, the second support member 322 is supported on the support surface 5 through the base 34 of the support device 3. At this time, the support device 3 is an integral structure, that is, during use, the second support member 322 of the support bracket 32 ​​is always attached to the base 34. Furthermore, when the second support member 322 of the support bracket 32 ​​is always attached to the base 34, the second support member 322 can be used to support the electrical connection between the host 1 and the input device 21, or it can be not used to support the electrical connection between the host 1 and the input device 21. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0145] like Figure 1a and Figure 1b As shown, in one possible implementation, the edge of the second support member 322 away from the support surface 5 is rotatably connected to the first support member 321 about the first axis 3226. This allows adjustment of the tilt angle of the first support member 321 and the carrier member 31 connected to the first support member 321 relative to the support surface 5. This adjusts the tilt angle of the front of the main unit 1 relative to the support surface 5, thus allowing for adjustment of the main unit's operating angle, facilitating operation and meeting the user's needs at different angles. In one example, the first axis 3226 is parallel to the support surface 5.

[0146] It should be noted that the front of the host 1 refers to the side of the host 1 that faces the user during use, and the back of the host 1 refers to the side of the host 1 that faces away from the user during use. The front and back of the host 1 are positioned opposite each other in their thickness direction.

[0147] It should be noted that the specific structure for the rotatable connection between the first support member 321 and the second support member 322 in the support bracket 32 ​​is not limited. In one possible implementation, such as... Figures 1a-1eAs shown, the first support member 321 and the second support member 322 can be constructed from flexible or arbitrarily malleable materials (for example, a cantilever bracket made of carbon steel, which can be bent freely multiple times and provide sufficient support force). In other possible implementations, the first support member 321 and the second support member 322 can be rotatably connected by a connecting shaft, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0148] Furthermore, the specific structures of the first support member 321 and the second support member 322 are not limited. In one possible implementation, such as... Figures 1a-1c As shown, both the first support member 321 and the second support member 322 of the support bracket 32 ​​adopt a plate-like structure. While ensuring sufficient contact area with the host 1 and providing sufficient support force, this also helps to reduce the thickness of the support bracket 32 ​​and reduce the space occupied by the support device 3. In other possible implementations, the first support member 321 and the second support member 322 can also be set as other rigid structures. For example, the first support member 321 and the second support member 322 can also be set as an "I"-shaped rod structure, as long as the first support member 321 and the second support member 322 are rotatably connected and have sufficient support strength. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0149] like Figures 1a-2 As shown, the support device 3 may further include a base 34 for supporting the support surface 5. In one possible implementation, as... Figure 1b and Figure 1d As shown, the base 34 is rotatably connected to the second support member 322. In other possible implementations, the base 34 can also be rotatably connected to the first support member 321, and this embodiment does not limit this. It should be noted that the rotatable connection method is not limited; the rotatable connection between the base 34 and the support bracket 32 ​​can be achieved through damped rotatable connection, hinge connection, gear connection, etc. Those skilled in the art will understand that the support device 3 may also omit the base, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0150] Furthermore, the specific structure of the base 34 is not limited. In one possible implementation, such as... Figure 1aAs shown, the base 34 of the support device 3 is reused as the housing of the input device 21 (e.g., keyboard 211), meaning that the input device 21 is partially embedded inside the base 34 to ensure that the input device 21 is stably fixed on the base 34. In other possible implementations, the base 34 of the support device 3 and the housing of the keyboard 211 are independently set and fixedly connected to each other, meaning that the input device 21 is detachably connected to the support device 3. For example, magnetic, snap-fit, or bolt-nut connections can be used, allowing the input device 21 to be freely removed from or installed on the base 34, thereby improving the flexibility of using the input device 21.

[0151] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 1c As shown, the first support member 321 may also be provided with a first opening 3213 for arranging the camera module of the host 1. It should be noted that the shape of the first opening 3213 is not limited; it can be elliptical, oblong, or circular (see 1c). Those skilled in the art can reasonably set it according to the appearance shape of the camera module on the host 1. In other possible implementations, the first support member 321 may not be provided with the aforementioned first opening, and this application embodiment does not limit this.

[0152] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 1e As shown, the carrier 31 may also be provided with a second opening 318 for arranging the camera module of the host 1. This serves two purposes: firstly, it will not block the light from the camera module, and secondly, it can better protect the electronic device 100. It should be noted that the shape of the second opening 318 is not limited; it can be elliptical, oblong, or circular (see 1e). Those skilled in the art can reasonably set it according to the appearance shape of the camera module on the host 1. In other possible implementations, the carrier 31 may not be provided with the aforementioned second opening, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0153] It should be noted that, as Figures 1a to 1e As shown, when the host 1 is installed on the support member 31, the length direction X of the support member corresponds to the length direction of the host 1, the width direction Y of the support member corresponds to the width direction of the host 1, and the thickness direction Z of the support member corresponds to the thickness direction of the host 1. When the support member 31 and the host 1 installed on the support member 31 are placed horizontally, the length direction X of the support member is parallel to the length direction of the first support member 321 and parallel to the support surface 5, and the width direction Y of the support member is parallel to the width direction of the first support member 321. When the support member 31 and the host 1 installed on the support member 31 are placed vertically, the length direction X of the support member is parallel to the width direction of the first support member 321, the width direction Y of the support member is parallel to the length direction of the first support member 321 and parallel to the support surface 5.

[0154] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 1c and Figure 1e As shown, when both the first opening 3213 and the second opening 318 are provided, and the carrier 31 and the host 1 mounted on the carrier 31 are placed horizontally, the second opening 318 on the carrier 31 is aligned with the first opening 3213 on the first support 321, and both are aligned with the camera module on the host 1. When the carrier 31 and the host 1 mounted on the carrier 31 are placed vertically, the second opening 318 on the carrier 31 is offset from the first opening 3213 on the first support 321, and the second opening 318 is still aligned with the camera module on the host 1.

[0155] like Figures 1a-1e As shown, in one possible implementation, the support device 3 can switch between an open state and a folded state through the combined action of the base 34 and the support bracket 32. When the support device 3 is in the open state, it supports the main unit 1 and the input device 21, allowing the user to select a suitable angle for using the main unit 1, keeping the relative positions of the main unit 1 and the input device 21 fixed, thus facilitating user operation of the main unit 1 and the input device 21. When the support device 3 is in the folded state, it can wrap around the main unit 1 and the input device 21, allowing them to stack on top of each other, thereby reducing the space occupied by the entire electronic device 100, making it easier to store and carry. Simultaneously, the support device 3 provides protection to prevent damage to the main unit 1 and the input device 21 from external impacts, such as drops or crushing.

[0156] In simple terms, users can flexibly adjust the angle between the base 34 and the support bracket 32 ​​by adjusting the rotation angle between the base 34 and the support bracket 32, as well as the rotation angle between the first support member 321 and the second support member 322 in the support bracket 32. This allows the base 34 and the support member 31, on which the host 1 is fixedly installed, to rotate relative to each other to any angle and remain fixed, thereby improving the flexibility of the support device 3 in supporting the host 1.

[0157] 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 device 1 only in the traditional horizontal placement mode. More and more system applications support switching between horizontal and vertical placement modes for the host device 1, offering greater flexibility. Specifically, the horizontal placement mode of the host device 1 means that its long side is horizontal, or it can be understood as the long side of the host device 1 being parallel to the plane on which the electronic device 100 is stationary (i.e., the supporting surface 5, such as a desktop or tabletop). In this mode, the screen width of the host device 1 is greater than its height. The vertical placement mode of the host device 1 means that its short side is horizontal, or it can be understood as the short side of the host device 1 being parallel to the plane on which the electronic device 100 is stationary (i.e., the supporting surface 5, such as a desktop or tabletop). In this mode, the screen height of the host device 1 is greater than its width.

[0158] The specific structure of the bearing component 31 will be described below.

[0159] Please see Figures 3a-3b , Figure 3a This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the second magnetically attracted component on the host in the first embodiment of the electronic device of this application. Figure 3b This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the third magnetic component on the carrier in the first embodiment of the electronic device of this application.

[0160] like Figures 1a-1e As shown, the carrier 31 is used to fix the host 1, so that the host 1 can be suspended at any angle under the combined action of the base 34, the support bracket 32 ​​and the carrier 31, to meet different user needs.

[0161] It should be noted that the method of fixing the host 1 to the carrier 31 is not limited. In one possible implementation, the host 1 and the carrier 31 are fixed by magnetic attraction. In this case, the host 1 can be installed and fixed to the support device 3 for operation and use, or it can be separated from the support device 3 for independent use, which improves the flexibility of the electronic device 100.

[0162] In one example, such as Figure 1a , Figure 3a and Figure 3b As shown, the carrier 31 is fixed with a third magnetic attraction component 37, and the host 1 is fixed with a second magnetic attraction component 11. The third magnetic attraction component 37 and the second magnetic attraction component 11 are attracted and fixed together, so that the carrier 31 contacts and is attracted and fixed to the back of the host 1. Specifically, the third magnetic attraction component 37 includes at least one third magnetic attraction element 371, and the second magnetic attraction component 11 includes at least one second magnetic attraction element 111. The third magnetic attraction element 371 in the third magnetic attraction component 37 is attracted and fixed to the second magnetic attraction element 111 in the second magnetic attraction component 11.

[0163] Furthermore, such as Figure 3a and Figure 3b As shown, the third magnetic attraction assembly 37 includes multiple third magnetic attractors 371, which are arranged in a plane perpendicular to the thickness direction Z of the carrier member. The second magnetically attracted assembly 11 includes multiple second magnetically attracted members 111, which are arranged in a plane perpendicular to the thickness direction of the host 1. The multiple third magnetic attractors 371 in the third magnetic attraction assembly 37 are attracted and fixed to the multiple second magnetically attracted members 111 in the second magnetically attracted assembly 11. That is, the third magnetic attractors 371 in the third magnetic attraction assembly 37 are magnetically attracted to the corresponding second magnetically attracted members 111 in the second magnetically attracted assembly 11, so that the carrier member 31 and the host 1 are more reliably fixedly connected.

[0164] It should be noted that the embodiments of this application do not limit the number and arrangement of the third magnetic element 371 in the third magnetic component 37 and the second magnetic element 111 in the second magnetic component 11. Those skilled in the art can make reasonable settings according to actual needs. The accompanying drawings are only for illustration.

[0165] It should be noted that the specific structures of the third magnetic attractor 371 and the second magnetically attracted member 111 are not limited in this application embodiment. 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. Those skilled in the art can set them according to actual needs. In one example, the third magnetic attractor 371 is a magnet, and the second magnetically attracted member 111 is a magnet or a structural component that is not magnetic itself, as long as the attraction and fixation between the third magnetic attractor 371 and the second magnetically attracted member 111 is achieved. In another example, the third magnetic attractor 371 is a structural component that is not magnetic itself, and the second magnetically attracted member 111 is a magnet.

[0166] In other possible implementations, the main unit 1 is detachably fixed to the carrier 31 via snap-fit ​​connections, bolt and nut connections, or other methods. Alternatively, the carrier 31 can also be configured as a protective shell detachably connected to the main unit 1. Thus, when the main unit 1 is fixedly mounted on the carrier 31, the carrier 31 can also protect the main unit 1, preventing damage from external impacts during use and improving the reliability and durability of the main unit 1. It is understandable that the main unit 1 is fixedly connected to the carrier 31, enabling switching between different states without occupying internal stacking space, which is beneficial for the slim and lightweight design of the main unit 1.

[0167] like Figure 1dAs shown, when the support device 3 is in the open state, the carrier 31, the first support 321, and the second support 322 form a triangular support structure. With this structure, regardless of whether the main unit 1 is placed horizontally or vertically, the carrier 31, the first support 321, and the second support 322 can form a triangular support structure, which has good support stability.

[0168] Furthermore, the specific structure of the support member 31 is not limited. In one possible implementation, the support member 31 is configured as a plate-like structure, in which case the support member 31 is configured as a support plate 316. This ensures sufficient contact area between the support member 31 and the main unit 1, as well as the support bracket 32 ​​(first support member 321), guaranteeing the reliability of the main unit 1 under various usage angles. In other possible implementations, such as... Figure 1a and Figure 1d As shown, the support member 31 is configured as a shell structure and includes a support plate 316 and a frame 317. The frame 317 is connected to the outer periphery of the support plate 316. That is to say, the frame 317 of the support member 31 is used to fix the four edges of the host 1. At this time, the shell structure of the support member 31 can better wrap the host 1 and improve the reliability of the support device 3 in fixing and supporting the host 1.

[0169] It should be noted that the specific shape of the support member 31 is not limited. In one possible implementation, such as... Figure 1a As shown, the support member 31 includes a first side edge portion 3171, a second side edge portion 3172, a third side edge portion 3173, and a fourth side edge portion 3174 that are sequentially connected along its circumference. The first side edge portion 3171 and the third side edge portion 3173 are disposed opposite each other in the width direction Y of the support member 31, and the second side edge portion 3172 and the fourth side edge portion 3174 are disposed opposite each other in the length direction X of the support member 31. It should be noted that the first side edge portion 3171 and the third side edge portion 3173 can be understood as two side edge portions extending along the length direction X of the support member 31, corresponding to the two long sides 314 of the support member 31, and the second side edge portion 3172 and the fourth side edge portion 3174 can be understood as two side edge portions extending along the width direction Y of the support member, corresponding to the two short sides 315 of the support member 31.

[0170] In one example, when the carrier 31 is placed horizontally, the first side edge 3171 is supported on the support surface 5, and when the carrier 31 is placed vertically, the second side edge 3172 is supported on the support surface 5.

[0171] It should be noted that when the support member 31 is provided with a second opening 318, the first side edge portion 3171 can be understood as: the side edge portion that is further away from the second opening 318 among the two side edge portions of the support member 31 extending along its length direction X, and the second side edge portion 3172 can be understood as: the side edge portion that is further away from the second opening 318 among the two side edge portions of the support member 31 extending along its width direction Y.

[0172] Understandably, to further improve the support reliability of the support device 3 in both the horizontal and vertical placement states of the host 1, one possible implementation is as follows: Figures 1a-1e As shown, the carrier 31 is detachably and magnetically fixed to the base 34, and supported on the support surface 5 by the base 34. Specifically, when the carrier 31 is in a horizontal position (i.e., the host 1 is in a horizontal position), one long side 314 of the carrier 31 (the long side 314 away from the second opening 318) is magnetically attracted to the base 34. When the carrier 31 is in a vertical position (i.e., the host 1 is in a vertical position), one short side 315 of the carrier 31 (the short side 315 away from the second opening 318) is magnetically attracted to the base 34. In this way, the carrier 31 can have sufficient and uniform magnetic attraction with the base 34 in both horizontal and vertical positions, thereby ensuring the reliability of the carrier 31's fixation with the base 34 in different states, and thus improving the reliability of the host 1's support and fixation in different states.

[0173] It should be noted that, in one possible implementation, the long side 314 is one edge portion of the carrier 31 extending along the length direction X of the carrier 31, and the short side 315 is one edge portion of the carrier 31 extending along the width direction Y of the carrier 31.

[0174] Furthermore, the host 1 is fixedly mounted by the carrier 31. When the carrier 31 is switched to a horizontal position, and the host 1 fixed thereon is also switched to a horizontal position, the long side 314 (e.g., the first side edge 3171) of the carrier 31 magnetically attracts the base 34, thus securing the carrier 31 to the base 34 without requiring the long side of the host 1 to be magnetically attached to the base 34, ensuring the reliability of the fixation between the host 1 and the base 34. When the carrier 31 is switched to a vertical position, and the host 1 fixed thereon is also switched to a vertical position, the short side 315 (e.g., the second side edge 3172) of the carrier 31 magnetically attracts the base 34, thus securing the carrier 31 to the base 34 without requiring the short side of the host 1 to be magnetically attached to the base 34, ensuring the reliability of the fixation between the host 1 and the base 34. In other words, the main unit 1 does not need to be equipped with magnetic attachment parts for magnetic attraction to the base 34 on either its long or short sides, so that the main unit 1 can be fixed to the base 34. This makes the structure of the main unit 1 simpler and the internal structure layout more flexible.

[0175] When the support member 31 is subjected to an external force, the support member 31 can rotate and switch between a horizontal and vertical placement state relative to the base 34. This external force should be greater than the magnetic attraction force, allowing the support member 31 and the host 1 to switch between different states. It is understood that, in one possible implementation, this external force is the force exerted by the user on the host 1 to switch between different states.

[0176] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, will provide an exemplary explanation of the specific implementation of the magnetic attraction between the carrier 31 and the base 34.

[0177] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the first magnetic attraction component and the second magnetic attraction component in the first embodiment of the electronic device of this application.

[0178] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 4 As shown, a first magnetic attraction component 35 is fixed to a long side 314 (e.g., the first side edge 3171) of the carrier 31, and a second magnetic attraction component 36 is fixed to a short side 315 (e.g., the second side edge 3172). A first magnetically attracted component 341 is fixed to the base 34. When the carrier 31 is placed horizontally (not shown in the figure), the first magnetic attraction component 35 and the first magnetically attracted component 341 are attracted and fixed, so that the long side 314 (i.e., the first side edge 3171) of the carrier 31 is attracted and fixed to the base 34. When the carrier 31 is placed vertically, as shown in the figure... Figure 4As shown, the second magnetic attraction component 36 is attracted and fixed to the first magnetic attraction component 341 so that the short side 315 (i.e. the second side edge 3172) of the carrier 31 is attracted and fixed to the base 34.

[0179] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the first magnetic attraction assembly 35 includes at least one first magnetic attractor 351, the second magnetic attraction assembly 36 includes at least one second magnetic attractor 361, and the first magnetically attracted assembly 341 includes at least one first magnetically attracted member 3411. When the carrier 31 is placed horizontally, the first magnetic attractor 351 in the first magnetic attraction assembly 35 is attracted and fixed to the first magnetically attracted member 3411 in the first magnetically attracted assembly 341. When the carrier 31 is placed vertically, the second magnetic attractor 361 in the second magnetic attraction assembly 36 is attracted and fixed to the first magnetically attracted member 3411 in the first magnetically attracted assembly 341.

[0180] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 4 As shown, the first magnetic attraction assembly 35 includes a plurality of first magnetic attractors 351 arranged in the length direction X of the carrier 31, the second magnetic attraction assembly 36 includes a plurality of second magnetic attractors 361 arranged in the width direction Y of the carrier 31, and the first magnetically attracted assembly 341 includes a plurality of first magnetically attracted members 3411. When the carrier 31 is placed horizontally, the plurality of first magnetic attractors 351 in the first magnetic attraction assembly 35 are attracted and fixed to the plurality of first magnetically attracted members 3411 in the first magnetically attracted assembly 341. When the carrier 31 is placed vertically, as shown... Figure 4 As shown, a plurality of second magnetic elements 361 in the second magnetic assembly 36 are attracted and fixed to a plurality of first magnetic elements 3411 in the first magnetic assembly 341.

[0181] It should be noted that the embodiments of this application do not limit the number and arrangement of the first magnetic element 351 in the first magnetic component 35, the second magnetic element 361 in the second magnetic component 36, and the first magnetically attracted element 3411 in the first magnetically attracted component 341. Those skilled in the art can set them reasonably according to actual needs. The accompanying drawings are only for illustration.

[0182] It should be noted that the specific structures of the first magnetic attractor 351, the second magnetic attractor 361, and the first magnetically attracted member 3411 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. Those skilled in the art can set them specifically according to actual needs. In one example, the first magnetic attractor 351 is a magnet, the second magnetic attractor 361 is a magnet, and the first magnetically attracted member 3411 is a magnet or a structural component that is not magnetic itself. In another example, the first magnetic attractor 351 and the second magnetic attractor 361 are structural components that are not magnetic themselves, and the first magnetically attracted member 3411 is a magnet.

[0183] The above mainly introduces the basic structure of the electronic device 100. It is understandable that in the design process of the support device 3, it is necessary to take into account the use and switching of the carrier 31 and the host 1 installed on the carrier 31 in the horizontal and vertical placement states. In order to ensure the user experience, it is necessary to improve the flexibility of the support device 3 in realizing the switching of the host 1 in the horizontal and vertical placement states, while ensuring the reliability of the support device 3 in supporting and fixing the host 1.

[0184] Based on this, the present application provides a support device 3, which allows the host 1 to flexibly switch between horizontal and vertical placement states. Furthermore, it facilitates the thinner and lighter design of the electronic device 100, provides protection for the electronic device 100, enhances its functionality, and improves the user experience.

[0185] The following section will first explain the specific structure of the support device 3 in the first embodiment.

[0186] Please see Figures 5-7b , Figure 5 This is a front view schematic diagram of the first embodiment of the electronic device according to the present application. Figure 6a This is a front view schematic diagram of the carrier placed horizontally in the first embodiment of the electronic device of this application. Figure 6b This is a front view schematic diagram of the support device in the first embodiment of the electronic device of this application (the load-bearing member is removed from the figure). Figure 6c This is a schematic diagram of the switching process of the carrier in the first embodiment of the electronic device of this application. Figure 6d This is a schematic diagram of the switching process of the carrier in the first embodiment of the electronic device of this application. Figure 2 , Figure 6e This is a front view of the carrier in a vertically placed state in the first embodiment of the electronic device according to the present application. Figure 6f This is a schematic diagram of the alignment magnetic attraction area in the first embodiment of the electronic device according to the present application, where the carrier is placed horizontally. Figure 6g This is a schematic diagram of the alignment magnetic attraction area in the first embodiment of the electronic device according to the present application, where the carrier is placed vertically. Figure 7a This is a schematic diagram of another possible implementation of the sliding structure in the first embodiment of the electronic device of this application (the support member has been removed from the figure). Figure 7b This is a schematic diagram of another possible implementation of the sliding structure in the first embodiment of the electronic device of this application (the support member has been removed from the figure).

[0187] like Figure 5 and Figure 6aAs shown, a sliding structure 4 is provided between the first support member 321 and the carrier member 31. The sliding structure 4 includes a groove 41 and a slider 42. One of the groove 41 and the slider 42 is disposed on the first support member 321, and the other is disposed on the carrier member 31. The slider 42 is slidably connected to the groove 41 along the length L of the groove, so that the carrier member 31 can rotate relative to the first support member 321 between a horizontal placement state and a vertical placement state, thereby driving the main unit 1 fixedly installed on the carrier member 31 to switch between a horizontal placement state and a vertical placement state. That is to say, in one possible implementation, such as Figure 6b As shown, the sliding groove 41 of the sliding structure 4 is disposed on the first support member 321, correspondingly, as... Figure 6a As shown, the sliding member 42 of the sliding structure 4 is disposed on the bearing member 31, so that the sliding member 42 is slidably connected to the slide groove 41, realizing the sliding connection between the first support member 321 and the bearing member 31. This allows the bearing member 31 to rotate relative to the first support member 321 between a horizontal and vertical placement state, ultimately driving the host 1 fixedly installed on the bearing member 31 to switch between a horizontal and vertical placement state. In this way, the host 1 can flexibly switch between a horizontal and vertical placement state, which is convenient for user operation and can improve the user experience.

[0188] It should be noted that the length direction L of the groove can be understood as the direction of the extension path of the groove 41. In one example, when the groove 41 extends along a straight line, the length direction L of the groove is the direction of the straight line. In another example, when the groove 41 extends along an arc, the length direction L of the groove is the direction of the arc's curvature.

[0189] In other possible implementations, the sliding groove 41 of the sliding structure 4 can also be provided on the bearing member 31, and correspondingly, the sliding member 42 of the sliding structure 4 can also be provided on the first support member 321. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0190] Specifically, such as Figures 6a-6e As shown, when the carrier 31 and the host 1 fixedly installed on the carrier 31 are in a horizontal position, the position of the sliding member 42 in the slide groove 41 in the carrier 31 is as follows: Figure 6a As shown, the first position 4211 is maintained, allowing the carrier 31 and the main unit 1 to remain fixed in a horizontally positioned state. When the carrier 31 and the main unit 1 are subjected to external force, and the carrier 31 and the main unit 1 switch from a horizontally positioned state to a vertically positioned state, the switching process of the carrier 31 can be referred to... Figure 6c and Figure 6dAs shown, at this time, the position of the sliding member 42 in the support member 31 changes continuously, thereby driving the support member 31 and the main unit 1 to rotate. When the support member 31 and the main unit 1 are placed vertically, the position of the sliding member 42 in the slide groove 41 is as follows: Figure 6e As shown, the second position 4212 is maintained, so that the carrier 31 and the host 1 can remain fixed in a vertically placed state.

[0191] It should be noted that the first position 4211 and the second position 4212 may be the two ends of the corresponding slide groove 41, or they may not be the two ends of the corresponding slide groove 41. That is, when the slider 42 is located at the second position 4212, the slider 42 can still move towards the end away from the first opening 3213. However, due to the effect of the magnetic attraction on the support member 31 in the vertical placement state, the support member 31 has been stably supported. Therefore, those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the first position 4211 and the second position 4212 according to actual needs. Furthermore, the length of the slide groove 41 is not limited in the embodiments of this application.

[0192] It is understandable that the sliding structure 4 includes a sliding groove 41 and a sliding member 42. Its structure is simple and easy to operate. Furthermore, the sliding structure 4 can be designed to be a small structure. While ensuring structural reliability, the sliding structure 4 occupies less space on the first support member 321 and the bearing member 31. The sliding structure 4 can even be hidden on the side of the first support member 321 near the bearing member 31, which is beneficial to the aesthetics and simplicity of the support device 3.

[0193] Furthermore, the sliding structure 4 is disposed between the first support member 321 and the bearing member 31, and can be configured to be a smaller structure, so it occupies less space in the support device 3 and is lighter in weight, thereby reducing the weight of the support device 3.

[0194] Furthermore, such as Figure 6a and Figure 6eAs shown, the sliding structure 4 is disposed between the first support member 321 and the carrier member 31. The host 1 is fixedly installed on the carrier member 31. By setting the sliding structure 4, the carrier member 31 can rotate relative to the first support member 321, thereby realizing the switching between the horizontal and vertical placement states of the host 1. It can be understood that the host 1 does not need to design different support and matching schemes to meet the horizontal and vertical placement states (for example, the long and short sides of the host 1 do not need to be provided with magnetic suction parts that magnetically attract to the base 34, because the position of the host 1 fixed to the carrier member 31 remains unchanged in both the horizontal and vertical placement states. When the host 1 and the carrier member 31 are fixed by magnetic attraction, the host 1 only needs to set one set of magnetic suction structure, which is simpler and more flexible in layout). Therefore, it will not occupy the internal stacking layout of the host 1. The host 1 has greater design flexibility, which is conducive to the thin and light design of the host 1, thereby realizing the thin and light design of the electronic device 100.

[0195] On the other hand, the support device 3 can provide physical protection for the host 1, preventing the host 1 from being scratched, bumped and dropped during daily use. It can also enhance the functionality of the electronic device 100, such as by equipping it with a keyboard 211, touchpad and so on, to improve the user experience.

[0196] Furthermore, the support member 31 of the support device 3 can also be adapted to different types of host 1, that is, the host 1 type is more flexible. By fixing different types of host 1 to the support member 31, the host 1 can be flexibly switched between horizontal and vertical placement. The design limitations of the support device 3 and the host 1 are small.

[0197] In summary, the support device 3 provided in this application embodiment allows the host 1 to flexibly switch between horizontal and vertical placement states. Furthermore, it facilitates the thinner and lighter design of the electronic device 100, provides protection for the electronic device 100, enhances its functionality, and improves the user experience.

[0198] The following section will first describe the sliding structure 4 with reference to the attached diagram.

[0199] It should be noted that the size of the sliding structure 4 is not limited. For example, the sliding structure 4 can be designed to be smaller in size. That is, under the condition that the connection reliability between the first support member 321 and the carrier member 31 is satisfied, the smaller sliding structure 4 can occupy less layout space and also has a certain hiding effect, which is conducive to the thinner and more aesthetically pleasing design of the electronic device 100.

[0200] Furthermore, the specific structure of the groove 41 is not limited. For example... Figures 6a-6eAs shown, in one possible implementation, the sliding structure 4 has a groove 41 as a strip groove 411 and a sliding member 42 as a sliding shaft 421. The sliding shaft 421 is slidably connected to the strip groove 411 along its length direction (i.e., the length direction L of the groove). This results in a simple structure and high reliability for the sliding structure 4. Furthermore, the design of the strip groove 411 and the sliding shaft 421 allows for a large range of motion within a small space, reducing the space occupied internally and facilitating a thinner and lighter design for the support device 3.

[0201] In one example, such as Figures 6a-6e As shown, the strip groove 411 is configured as an elongated strip groove 412 extending along a straight line, with the direction of the line perpendicular to the thickness direction Z of the first support member 321. The sliding shaft 421 is also rotatably connected to the strip groove 411 around its own axis. In this way, the sliding shaft 421 moves linearly within the elongated strip groove 412, resulting in smoother sliding and improved user experience. Specifically, as... Figure 6a As shown, when the support member 31 is in a horizontally placed state, the sliding shaft 421 is located at the first position 4211 along the length direction of the strip groove 411, as... Figure 6e As shown, when the support member 31 is in a vertical position, the sliding shaft 421 is located at the second position 4212 of the strip groove 411 along its length direction X. When the support member 31 switches from a horizontal position to a vertical position, the sliding shaft 421 slides from the first position 4211 of the strip groove 411 along the length direction X of the strip groove 411 to the second position 4212, and the sliding shaft 421 rotates around its axis in the strip groove 411.

[0202] It should be noted that the extension direction of the groove 41 is not limited. One possible implementation is as follows: Figures 6a-6e As shown, the length direction L of the slide is parallel to the length direction of the first support member 321. When the second support member 322 of the support bracket 32 ​​is supported on the support surface 5, the length direction L of the slide is parallel to the support surface 5. In this way, during the switching of different states of the load-bearing member 31 connected to the first support member 321, the shortest length of the slide 41 can be determined, thereby reducing space occupation and facilitating the lightweight design of the support device 3.

[0203] Specifically, when the carrier 31 is in a horizontal position, the length direction L of the slide is parallel to the length direction X of the carrier; when the carrier 31 is in a vertical position, the length direction L of the slide is parallel to the width direction Y of the carrier. In other possible implementations, such as... Figure 7aAs shown, the length direction L of the slide can also be inclined relative to the length direction X of the first support member 321. The angle of inclination is not limited, as long as the sliding structure 4 can switch between the horizontal and vertical placement states of the support member 31. Those skilled in the art can design it reasonably according to actual needs.

[0204] In another example, such as Figure 7b As shown, the strip groove 411 is configured as a strip groove extending along an arc, with the tangent at each position of the arc perpendicular to the thickness direction Z of the first support member 321. Alternatively, the strip groove 411 can be understood as an arc-shaped strip groove, allowing the sliding member 42 (sliding shaft 421) to slide slidably connect to this arc-shaped strip groove 411. This allows the carrier member 31 to rotate and switch between a horizontal and vertical placement state relative to the first support member 321, thereby ensuring that the host unit 1 fixed to the carrier member 31 can switch between different states.

[0205] In other possible implementations, the groove 41 can also be set as an arc groove, and correspondingly, the slider 42 can be set as an arc slider, which has high reliability and can improve the user experience.

[0206] Furthermore, the type of groove 41 is not limited. In one possible implementation, such as Figure 6b As shown, and in combination Figure 1c and Figure 1d It is understood that the groove 41 is a recessed groove extending from the front side 3211 of the first support member 321 towards the back side 3212. The front side 3211 and the back side 3212 of the first support member 321 are arranged opposite to each other, and the front side 3211 is the surface of the first support member 321 that contacts the carrier member 31. At this time, the back side 3212 of the first support member 321 does not show the groove, and the sliding structure 4 can be better hidden inside the support device 3, which is beneficial to the aesthetics of the support device 3.

[0207] In other possible implementations, the groove 41 is configured as a through groove (not shown in the figure) extending through the thickness direction Z of the first support member 321. In this case, the groove 41 of the first support member 321 and the sliding member 42 of the carrier member 31 have a larger contact area, which can improve the reliability of the support device 3. Specifically, in one example, when the groove 41 is configured as a through groove, the end of the sliding member 42 away from the carrier member 31 is aligned with the side of the through groove away from the carrier member 31. In this case, the sliding member 42 and the groove 41 have sufficient contact area, ensuring the flatness of the back surface 3212 of the first support member 321 and improving the aesthetics of the support device 3. In another example, when the groove 41 is configured as a through groove, the end of the sliding member 42 away from the carrier member 31 is located inside or outside the side of the through groove away from the carrier member 31. This application embodiment does not impose any restrictions on this. In this case, the sliding member 42 and the groove 41 can maintain stable contact and slide, achieving stable contact between the carrier member 31 in different states.

[0208] It should be noted that the specific structure of the slider 42 is not limited. One possible implementation is as follows: Figures 6a-6e As shown, the slider 42 is configured as a sliding shaft 421. In the thickness direction Z of the support member 31, the slider 42 extends from the back surface 313 of the support member 31 in a direction away from the support member 31. The back surface 313 of the support member 31 is the surface of the support member 31 that contacts the first support member 321. In other possible implementations, the slider 42 can also be a sliding block, extending from the back surface 313 of the support member 31 in a direction away from the support member 31, so that it can just cooperate with the sliding groove 41, allowing the support member 31 to rotate relative to the first support member 321. This enables the main unit 1, fixedly installed on the support member 31, to flexibly switch between a horizontal and vertical placement state.

[0209] Furthermore, the position of the slider 42 on the support member 31 is not limited. It is understood that the slider 42 provided on the support member 31 can cooperate with the groove 41 on the first support member 321 to realize the switching between the horizontal and vertical placement states of the support member 31. Those skilled in the art can reasonably set it according to actual needs.

[0210] Furthermore, in one possible implementation, when the support member 31 switches from a horizontal to a vertical orientation, the outer wall of the sliding shaft 421 remains in contact with the wall of the strip groove 411. This allows the sliding shaft 421 to fully contact the groove 41, enabling the support member 31 to rotate more smoothly and reliably during the switching process, thus improving the reliability of the support device 3.

[0211] It should be noted that the connection method between the slider 42 and the carrier 31 is not limited. In one possible implementation, the slider 42 and the carrier 31 are configured as an integral structure. In another possible implementation, the slider 42 and the carrier 31 are configured as separate structures, and the slider 42 and the carrier 31 are fixedly connected. The specific method of fixed connection is not limited. For example, the end of the slider 42 near the carrier 31 can be fixedly connected to the carrier 31 by means of bonding, welding, etc.

[0212] Furthermore, the way the slider 42 and the groove 41 are matched is not limited. In one example, the end of the slider 42 away from the support member 31 can be set as a wedge-shaped structure with a size slightly larger than the width of the groove 41, so that the slider 42 can be installed in the groove 41 to slide, and will not fall out of the groove 41 during the sliding process, ensuring the reliability of the sliding structure 4, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the support member 31 when switching between different states.

[0213] It should be noted that, in order to make the carrier 31 more stably maintain its horizontal and vertical placement states, a horizontal magnetic attraction structure and a vertical magnetic attraction structure can be provided between the first support 321 and the carrier 31. When the carrier 31 is in the horizontal placement state, the first support 321 and the carrier 31 are magnetically fixed by the horizontal magnetic attraction structure. When the carrier 31 is in the vertical placement state, the first support 321 and the carrier 31 are magnetically fixed by the vertical magnetic attraction structure.

[0214] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 6f and Figure 6e As shown, a magnetic adsorption area A can be arranged in the area of ​​the first support member 321 that overlaps with the carrier member 31. That is, a magnetic adsorption component is set in the magnetic adsorption area A to realize the positioning and adsorption between the first support member 321 and the carrier member 31, so that the carrier member 31 can remain fixed in both horizontal and vertical placement states, improving the reliability of the support device 3. Furthermore, the fixed adsorption through the action of the magnetic adsorption component can provide users with a comfortable feel of pause adsorption, improving the user experience.

[0215] It is understood that the specific location of the alignment magnetic attraction area A is not limited, and those skilled in the art can reasonably set it according to actual needs. The attached drawings are only for illustration. Furthermore, the embodiments of this application do not limit the layout and number of magnetic components in the alignment magnetic attraction area A. In one example, a set of magnetically attracted components (not shown in the figure, but may include one or more magnetically attracted components) is provided on the first support member 321, and two sets of magnetically attracted components (not shown in the figure, each set of magnetically attracted components may include one or more magnetically attracted components) are provided on the carrier member 31. This allows one set of magnetically attracted components to achieve positioning and adsorption with the magnetically attracted components on the first support member 321 in the alignment magnetic attraction area A when the carrier member 31 is placed horizontally. When the carrier member 31 is placed vertically, the other set of magnetically attracted components can achieve positioning and adsorption with the magnetically attracted components on the first support member 321 in the alignment magnetic attraction area A. This reduces the space occupied by the magnetically attracted components in the support device 3 while ensuring the stability of the fixation, which is beneficial to the thin and light design of the support device 3.

[0216] It should be noted that the first support member 321 can be arranged with two independent alignment magnetic attraction areas A. Each alignment magnetic attraction area A is provided with a set of magnetically attracted parts. When the carrier member 31 is placed horizontally, one set of magnetically attracted parts of the carrier member 31 can be positioned and attracted with the magnetically attracted parts in one alignment magnetic attraction area A on the first support member 321. When the carrier member 31 is placed vertically, the other set of magnetically attracted parts of the carrier member 31 can be positioned and attracted with the magnetically attracted parts in another alignment magnetic attraction area A on the first support member 321.

[0217] Of course, those skilled in the art will understand that a horizontal magnetic attraction structure and / or a vertical magnetic attraction structure may not be provided between the first support member 321 and the carrier member 31, and the embodiments of this application do not limit this.

[0218] The above text mainly describes the support device 3 in the first embodiment. The following text will explain the specific structure of the support device 3 in the second embodiment with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0219] Please see Figures 8a-10d , Figure 8a This is a rear view schematic diagram showing the carrier component in a horizontally placed state in the second embodiment of the electronic device according to the present application. Figure 8b This is a side view of the electronic device in the second embodiment of this application, showing the carrier in a horizontally placed state, from another perspective.

Figure 10aA rear view diagram showing the carrier component in a horizontally placed state under another possible implementation in the second embodiment of the electronic device of this application. Figure 10b This is a side view of the structure of the electronic device in the second embodiment of the present application, where the carrier is placed horizontally, from another perspective. Figure 10c This is a rear view schematic diagram showing the carrier component in a vertically placed state under another possible implementation of the electronic device in the second embodiment of this application. Figure 10d This is a side view of the structure from another perspective in the second embodiment of the electronic device of this application, where the carrier is placed vertically.

[0220] like Figures 8a-8d , Figures 10a-10d As shown, the support bracket 32 ​​is disposed on the other side of the bearing member 31 along its thickness direction Z and supports the bearing member 31. The support bracket 32 ​​includes a first support member 321 and a second support member 322 that are rotatably connected. The first support member 321 is fixedly connected to the bearing member 31, and the second support member 322 is used to support the support surface 5.

[0221] It should be noted that the connection method between the first support member 321 and the carrier member 31 is not limited. In one possible implementation, the first support member 321 and the carrier member 31 are an integral structure. Specifically, the carrier member 31 is entirely reused as the first support member 321, or the first support member 321 is only located in a part of the back surface 313 of the carrier member 31. This application embodiment does not limit this. For example, the first support member 321 may protrude from the back surface 313 of the carrier member 31, or it may be recessed inward from the back surface 313 of the carrier member 31 (i.e., the side of the carrier member 31 facing the host 1), so that the first support member 321 is hidden in the carrier member 31. This application embodiment does not limit this. In this way, the thickness of the support device 3 can be reduced, which is beneficial for weight reduction.

[0222] In other possible implementations, such as Figures 8a-8d , Figures 10a-10d As shown, the first support member 321 and the carrier member 31 are separate structures, that is, the first support member 321 can be fixedly connected to the carrier member 31 by means of bonding, welding, magnetic attraction, etc.

[0223] It should be noted that the size and shape of the first support member 321 are not limited. In one possible implementation, the first support member 321 is configured as a plate-like structure, for example, as shown in the figure. Figures 8a-8d , Figures 10a-10d As shown, it can be configured as a strip-shaped structure. In one example, such as... Figures 8a-8dAs shown, the first support member 321 is an elongated plate-like structure. In other possible implementations, the first support member 321 can be configured as a planar plate-like structure, for example, a polygonal plate-like structure.

[0224] like Figures 8a-8d , Figures 10a-10d As shown, the second support member 322 includes a first edge 3221, which is rotatably connected to the first support member 321. The second support member 322 is provided with a horizontal support portion 3224 and a vertical support portion 3225 at a position away from the first edge 3221. When the carrier member 31 is placed horizontally and supported on the support surface 5, the second support member 322 is opened relative to the first support member 321, and the horizontal support portion 3224 of the second support member 322 is supported on the support surface 5. When the carrier member 31 is placed vertically and supported on the support surface 5, the second support member 322 is opened relative to the first support member 321, and the vertical support portion 3225 of the second support member 322 is supported on the support surface 5. In other words, the second support member 322 of the support bracket 32 ​​inside the support device 3 is provided with a horizontal support part 3224 and a vertical support part 3225, which can realize the switching between the horizontal placement state and the vertical placement state of the host 1. Furthermore, by selecting the horizontal support part 3224 and the vertical support part 3225 on the second support member 322, it can adapt to different placement states of the host 1 without changing the overall structure of the second support member 322 or adding other mating parts, which has the advantages of simple structure and stable support.

[0225] Furthermore, such as Figures 8a-8d , Figures 10a-10d As shown, host 1 (see Figure 1a The main unit 1 is fixedly installed on the carrier 31, which is fixedly connected to the first support 321. The first support 321 and the second support 322 are rotatably connected. Therefore, by switching the horizontal support part 3224 and the vertical support part 3225 of the second support 322, the main unit 1 can be switched between the horizontal and vertical placement states. It can be understood that the main unit 1 does not need to design different support matching schemes to meet the horizontal and vertical placement states (for example, the long and short sides of the main unit 1 do not need to be provided with magnetic suction parts that magnetically attract to the base 34, because the position of the main unit 1 fixed to the carrier 31 remains unchanged in the horizontal and vertical placement states. When the main unit 1 and the carrier 31 are fixed by magnetic attraction, the main unit 1 only needs to set one set of magnetic attraction structure, which is simpler and more flexible in layout). Therefore, it will not occupy the internal stacking layout of the main unit 1. The design of the main unit 1 is more flexible, which is conducive to the thin and light design of the main unit 1, thereby realizing the thin and light design of the electronic device 100.

[0226] Furthermore, such as Figures 8a-8d , Figures 10a-10dAs shown, the second support member 322 adopts a strip-shaped plate structure, which is lighter than a planar plate structure, which is beneficial to the lightweight design of the support device 3.

[0227] On the other hand, the support device 3 can provide physical protection for the host 1, preventing the host 1 from being scratched, bumped and dropped during daily use. It can also enhance the functionality of the electronic device 100, such as by equipping it with a keyboard 211, touchpad and so on, to improve the user experience.

[0228] Furthermore, the support member 31 of the support device 3 can also be adapted to different types of host 1, that is, the host 1 type is more flexible. By fixing different types of host 1 to the support member 31, the host 1 can be flexibly switched between horizontal and vertical placement. The design limitations of the support device 3 and the host 1 are small.

[0229] In summary, the support device 3 provided in this application embodiment allows the host 1 to flexibly switch between horizontal and vertical placement states. Furthermore, it facilitates the thinner and lighter design of the electronic device 100, provides protection for the electronic device 100, enhances its functionality, and improves the user experience.

[0230] It should be noted that, as Figures 8a-8d , Figures 10a-10d , Figures 12a-12d As shown, the contact method between the second support member 322 and the support surface 5 is not limited. For example, when the carrier member 31 is in a horizontal position, the horizontal support portion 3224 of the second support member 322 can be supported on the support surface 5 through surface contact, line contact, or point contact. When the carrier member 31 is in a vertical position, the vertical support portion 3225 can be supported on the support surface 5 through surface contact, line contact, or point contact. In one possible implementation, when the carrier member 31 is in a horizontal position, the horizontal support portion 3224 of the second support member 322 can be supported through line contact (see...). Figures 10a-10b , Figures 12a-12b ) or point contact (see Figures 8a-8b The second support member 322 is stably supported on the support surface 5 in a manner that allows it to be stably supported by a line when the support member 31 is in a vertical position. The vertical support portion 3225 of the second support member 322 can be in line contact (see...). Figure 8c and Figure 8d , Figure 10c and Figure 10d The support is stably placed on the support surface 5 in a manner that ensures the reliability of the support device 3. In another possible implementation, see [link to implementation details]. Figures 10a-10dIn one possible implementation, the lateral support portion 3224 and the vertical support portion 3225 of the second support member 322 are in line contact with the support surface 5. In another possible implementation, the lateral support portion 3224 and the vertical support portion 3225 of the second support member 322 are in surface contact with the support surface 5.

[0231] Understandably, in one example, such as Figures 8a-8d As shown, the lateral support portion 3224 of the second support member 322 can have point contact with the support surface 5, and the vertical support portion 3225 of the second support member 322 can have line contact with the support surface 5. In another example, such as... Figures 10a-10d As shown, the lateral support portion 3224 of the second support member 322 can be in line contact with the support surface 5, and the vertical support portion 3225 of the second support member 322 can also be in line contact with the support surface 5. In yet another example, as... Figures 12a-12d As shown, the horizontal support portion 3224 of the second support member 322 can be in line contact with the support surface 5, and the vertical support portion 3225 of the second support member 322 can be in point contact with the support surface 5.

[0232] Furthermore, the specific shape of the second support member 322 is not limited. In one possible implementation, the second support member 322 is configured as a strip-shaped plate structure. This structure allows for a reduction in the thickness of the support device 3, which is beneficial for making the support device 3 thinner and lighter. In one example, such as... Figures 8a-8d As shown, the second support member 322 is a quadrilateral strip-shaped structure. In another example, as... Figures 10a-10d As shown, the second support member 322 is a pentagonal strip-shaped plate structure.

[0233] It should be noted that the thickness of the second support member 322 is not limited, as long as it can stably support the support surface 5 with its horizontal support portion 3224 and vertical support portion 3225. Furthermore, the horizontal support portion 3224 and vertical support portion 3225 on the second support member 322 can be designed with smaller dimensions, provided that stable support is achieved. That is, the second support member 322 can be a long strip plate structure, which can reduce its weight compared to a planar plate structure, thereby reducing the weight of the support device 3 and facilitating a lightweight design.

[0234] Specifically, such as Figure 8a and Figure 8cAs shown, the second support member 322 includes a first end 3222 and a second end 3223 arranged opposite to each other along its length direction. A first edge 3221 is located at the edge of the first end 3222, and a horizontal support portion 3224 and a vertical support portion 3225 are located at the edge of the second end 3223. The first edge 3221 is rotatably connected to the first support member 321 about a first axis 3226. The first axis 3226 is perpendicular to the thickness direction Z of the carrier member 31. That is, the first edge 3221 located at the first end 3222 of the second support member 322 is rotatably connected to the first support member 321 about the first axis 3226, so that the angle between the carrier member 31 and the second support member 322 can be adjusted, thereby enabling the host 1 fixedly installed on the carrier member 31 to flexibly switch between a horizontal placement state and a vertical placement state.

[0235] It should be noted that the relative positional relationship between the first axis 3226 and the bearing member in the length direction X and width direction Y is not limited. In one possible implementation, such as... Figures 8a-8d As shown, the first axis 3226 is parallel to the width direction Y of the support member 31. In another possible implementation, as... Figures 10a-10d As shown, the first axis 3226 is inclined relative to the length direction X and width direction Y of the support member 31.

[0236] It should be noted that the tilt angle of the first axis 3226 relative to the length direction X of the support member 31 is not limited. In one possible implementation, the tilt angle between the first axis 3226 and the length direction X of the support member 31 is in the range of 15°-85°. It is understood that those skilled in the art can set it according to actual needs, so that the second support member 322 in the support device 3 can stably support the support member 31 and the host 1 under the specific design of the first axis 3226 and its size, and can stably switch between the support member 31 and the host 1 at different usage angles.

[0237] Furthermore, the connection method between the second support member 322 and the first support member 321 is not limited. In one possible implementation, such as... Figures 8a-8d , Figures 10a-10d As shown, the second support member 322 and the first support member 321 can be connected by a hinge, so that the second support member 322 and the first support member 321 can rotate at a certain angle and remain at that angle, so as to better support and fix the host 1 and meet the user's usage needs at different angles.

[0238] Specifically, in one example, the first support member 321 is configured as a strip-shaped plate structure, and the second support member 322 can also be configured as a strip-shaped plate structure. When the second support member 322 is closed relative to the first support member 321, the second support member 322 overlaps with the first support member 321. In this way, the thickness of the support device 3 can be reduced, portability can be improved, and the user experience can be enhanced.

[0239] The following section will provide a detailed description of the specific structure of the support device 3, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0240] Please see Figures 11-12d , Figure 11 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the carrier in the second embodiment of the electronic device of this application. Figures 12a to 12d This is a schematic diagram from a different perspective of another possible implementation of the second support member in the second embodiment of the electronic device of this application.

[0241] It should be noted that the position of the second support member 322 relative to the load-bearing member 31 is not limited. For example... Figures 8a-8d As shown, in one possible implementation, the first axis 3226 on the second support member 322 is parallel to the width direction Y of the carrier member 31. The projection of the second support member 322 along the thickness direction Z of the carrier member 31 onto the carrier member 31 is located at the first side edge portion 3171. The projection of the first end portion 3222 of the second support member 322 is located in the area of ​​the first side edge portion 3171 that connects with the fourth side edge portion 3174. The projection of the second end portion 3223 of the second support member 322 is located in the area of ​​the first side edge portion 3171 that connects with the second side edge portion 3172.

[0242] It should be noted that the projection of the first end 3222 of the second support member 322 can also be located at the middle position of the first side edge portion 3171. In this case, the lateral support portion 3224 and the vertical support portion 3225 of the second support member 322 can also establish a stable fixed support with the support surface 5. Those skilled in the art can make specific settings according to actual needs, and the embodiments of this application do not limit this. Those skilled in the art will understand that in other possible implementations, the projection of the second support member 322 along the thickness direction Z of the bearing member 31 on the bearing member 31 can also be partially located inside the first side edge portion 3171, partially located outside the first side edge portion 3171, or located entirely outside the first side edge portion 3171 (for example, at the position between the first side edge portion 3171 and the third side edge portion 3173).

[0243] Specifically, in one example, such as Figure 8aAs shown, the lateral support portion 3224 is configured as a lateral support point 3224B, and when supported on the support surface 5, there is point contact between it and the support surface 5. That is, the connection point between the short side and a long side of the second support member 322 away from the first edge 3221 forms the lateral support point 3224B, so that the carrier member 31 and the host 1 fixedly installed on the carrier member 31 are in a lateral position. Further, as Figure 8c As shown, the vertical support portion 3225 is configured as a vertical support edge 3225A, which is parallel to the width direction Y of the carrier 31. When supported on the support surface 5, it is in line contact with the support surface 5. That is, the short side of the second support member 322 away from the first edge 3221 forms the vertical support edge 3225A, so that the carrier 31 and the host 1 fixedly installed on the carrier 31 are in a vertical position. In this way, the horizontal support portion 3224 and the vertical support portion 3225 on the second support member 322 can be stably supported on the support surface 5 through line contact or point contact, ensuring the support reliability of the support device 3.

[0244] In another example, the lateral support portion 3224 can also be configured as a lateral support edge 3224A, and when supported on the support surface 5, it is in line contact with the support surface 5. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0245] like Figures 10a-11 As shown, in another possible implementation, the first axis 3226 of the second support member 322 is inclined relative to the length direction X and width direction Y of the carrier member 31. The projection of the second support member 322 along the thickness direction Z of the carrier member 31 onto the carrier member 31 is located in a diagonal region of the carrier member 31, where the diagonal region is the area containing either diagonal line. That is, the projection of the second support member 322 along the thickness direction Z of the carrier member 31 onto the carrier member 31 is located in either the first diagonal region 335 or the second diagonal region of the carrier member 31. In this way, for the region (i.e., the diagonal region) where the center of gravity of the carrier member 31 and the host 1 fixedly installed on the carrier member 31 are located, the second support member 322 can provide more stable support for the carrier member 31 and the host 1, thereby improving the support reliability of the support device 3. In other possible implementations, the projection of the second support 322 onto the support 31 along the thickness direction Z of the support 31 may be partially located within the diagonal region, partially located outside the diagonal region, or entirely located outside the diagonal region, for example, located in other regions of the support 31 besides the diagonal region.

[0246] Among them, such as Figure 11As shown, the support member 31 has a first diagonal region 335 and a second diagonal region that intersect. The first diagonal region 335 is the region where the first diagonal line 333 is located. The position where the first side edge portion 3171 and the second side edge portion 3172 meet is the first corner portion 331, and the position where the third side edge portion 3173 and the fourth side edge portion 3174 meet is the second corner portion 332. The line connecting the vertex of the first corner portion 331 and the vertex of the second corner portion 332 is the first diagonal line 333. The second diagonal region is the region where the second diagonal line 334 is located. The position where the first side edge portion 3171 and the fourth side edge portion 3174 meet is the third corner portion, and the position where the second side edge portion 3172 and the third side edge portion 3173 meet is the fourth corner portion. The line connecting the vertex of the third corner portion and the vertex of the fourth corner portion is the second diagonal line 334.

[0247] Specifically, such as Figures 10a-10d As shown in one example, the second support member 322 is a strip-shaped plate structure, with one side being a first edge 3221 for rotatable connection with the first support member 321. Two sides of the second support member 322 away from the first edge 3221 form a horizontal support portion 3224 and a vertical support portion 3225. The horizontal support portion 3224 is configured as a horizontal support edge 3224A, which gradually approaches the first edge 3221 from one end to the other, and is in line contact with the support surface 5 when supported. The vertical support portion 3225 is configured as a vertical support edge 3225A, which is also in line contact with the support surface 5 when supported.

[0248] In another example, such as Figures 12a-12d As shown, the first edge 3221 of the second support member 322 is used for rotatable connection with the first support member 321. The lateral support part 3224 is configured as a lateral support edge 3224A. When the lateral support edge 3224A is supported on the support surface 5, it is in line contact with the support surface 5. The vertical support part 3225 is configured as a vertical support point 3225B. When the vertical support point 3225B is supported on the support surface 5, it is in point contact with the support surface 5. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0249] It should be noted that the specific structure of the base 34 is not limited. For example... Figure 9 As shown, and in combination Figures 8a-8d As shown, in one possible implementation, the base 34 may include a base body 342 and an extension 343. The base body 342 is supported on the support surface 5, and the extension 343 is used for fixed connection 31 with the carrier. Further, the extension 343 of the base 34 may also be used for electrical connection with the base body 342, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0250] The method by which the carrier 31 is fixedly connected to the extension 343 of the base 34 is not limited. For example, it can be fixed and detachably connected to the extension 343 by magnetic attraction. In one possible implementation, when the carrier 31 is in a horizontal position, one long side 314 of the carrier 31 (e.g., the first side edge 3171) is magnetically attracted to the extension 343 of the base 34, and when the carrier 31 is in a vertical position, one short side 315 of the carrier 31 (e.g., the second side edge 3172) is magnetically attracted to the extension 343 of the base 34.

[0251] Among them, the long side 314 and the short side 315 of the carrier 31 are magnetically attracted to the extension 343 of the base 34. Specifically, the first magnetic attraction component 35 and the second magnetic attraction component 36 mentioned above can be used to cooperate with the first magnetically attracted component 341, which will not be described again here.

[0252] 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.
