While exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.
[0031] It should be noted that, unless otherwise stated, the technical or scientific terms used in this application shall have the ordinary meaning as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains.
[0032] Example 1
[0033] Reference Appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 4 Embodiment 1 of this application proposes an electronic device, which includes: a first body comprising: a first base 11, the first base 11 having a first side 11a edge with a insertion groove 1101; a second body comprising: a second base 21, the second base 21 having an insertion plate 211 adapted to the insertion groove 1101, the insertion plate 211 being inserted into the insertion groove 1101 of the first base 11 such that the insertion plate 211 overlaps with the first base 11 in the longitudinal direction and does not protrude from the first base 11; and a locking member for locking the insertion plate 211 and the insertion groove 1101.
[0034] Specifically, the electronic device provided in this embodiment is a combination of a first body and a second body. The first body and the second body can be configured in various ways. For example, the first body can be an electronic device with a display function, and the second body can be a chassis electrically connected to the first body, specifically a miniature chassis, etc. Or the first body can be a tablet computer, and the second body can be a keyboard electrically connected to the first body, but it is not limited to these.
[0035] The first body includes a first base 11, which can be used to support the main structure of the first body. It can be set as a flat plate structure, and its cross-sectional shape can be, but is not limited to, rectangular, circular, etc. It can be stably supported on a bearing surface during use. The first edge of the first base 11 has an insertion groove 1101. Taking the surface of the first base 11 that contacts the bearing surface as the bottom surface as an example, the insertion groove 1101 can be set at the first edge of the bottom surface of the first base 11. In this case, the insertion groove 1101 is recessed relative to the bottom surface of the first base 11 and communicates with the first edge. Alternatively, it can be set at the first edge of the top surface of the first base 11. In this case, the insertion groove 1101 is recessed relative to the top surface of the first base 11 and communicates with the first edge. Or, the insertion groove 1101 can also be set between the bottom surface and the top surface of the first base 11 and does not communicate with the bottom surface and the top surface, but only communicates with the first side 11a edge of the first base 11.
[0036] The second body includes a second base 21, which can be used to support the main structure of the second body. It can be supported on the same bearing surface as the first base 11. To achieve cooperation with the first base 11, the second base 21 can also be set as a flat plate structure, and its shape can be, but is not limited to, rectangular, circular, etc. The second base 21 has a plug-in plate 211 adapted to the plug-in groove 1101. The plug-in plate 211 can be set on the side of the second base 21 close to the first body, and the shape and size of the plug-in plate 211 are adapted to the shape and size of the plug-in groove 1101. In order to improve the cooperation effect and aesthetics, when the plug-in plate 211 is inserted into the plug-in groove 1101 of the first base 11, the plug-in plate 211 overlaps with the first base 11 in the longitudinal direction and does not protrude from the bottom or top surface of the first base 11. That is, the horizontal projection of the plug-in plate 211 is within the range of the first base 11, so that the two can cooperate tightly and reliably. Here, the longitudinal direction can refer to the thickness direction of the first base 11.
[0037] The insertion plate 211 can be disposed on the second side edge of the second base 21. This second side can be the side of the second base 21 facing the first side 11a of the first base 11. When the insertion plate 211 is inserted into the insertion groove 1101 of the first base 11, as shown in the attached diagram... Figure 2As shown, the first side 11a edge of the first base 11 can also be set to contact and fit with the second side edge of the second base 21, which can reduce the space occupied by the electronic device, improve the compatibility and integrity of the first body and the second body, and also help improve the aesthetics of the appearance.
[0038] To achieve relative fixation between the first base 11 and the second base 21, at least one locking element can be used to lock the insertion part and the insertion groove 1101. The locking method can be, but is not limited to, snap-fit or threaded locking. This ensures that the insertion plate 211 is reliably locked in the insertion groove 1101 and that the two can be disassembled. This design allows the first body with the first base 11 to cooperate with the second body with the second base 21. Even if the main structure of the first body and the second body is updated or upgraded, the installation and cooperation method can still be maintained, achieving high versatility and installation stability.
[0039] Further, see attached document. Figure 3 In a specific implementation, the insertion groove 1101 is formed on the bottom surface of the first base 11. The insertion groove 1101 is formed along the thickness direction of the first base 11 and communicates with the first side 11a. A limiting block 1102 is provided inside the insertion groove 1101 and on the side away from the first side 11a. The insertion plate 211 has a missing part 2111 that corresponds to and is adapted to the limiting block 1102.
[0040] Specifically, the insertion groove 1101 can be formed on the bottom surface of the first base 11 and located at the edge of the first side 11a, and the depth direction of the insertion groove 1101 and the thickness direction of the first base 11 are set to meet the same conditions. In order to improve the reliability of the positioning of the first base 11 and the second base 21, in the technical solution adopted in this application, a limiting block 1102 can be provided inside the insertion groove 1101 and on the side away from the first side 11a, and a missing part 2111 corresponding to and adapted to the limiting block 1102 is provided on the insertion plate 211. After the insertion plate 211 and the insertion groove 1101 are inserted into place along the insertion direction, the missing part 2111 and the limiting block 1102 are just matched, which can avoid problems such as excessive insertion of the insertion plate 211 or deviation in the relative position of the insertion plate 211 and the insertion groove 1101.
[0041] Specifically, the edge of the limiting block 1102 facing the first side 11a can extend in a straight line or in an arc. The cross-sectional shape of the limiting block 1102 can be circular, rectangular, or oblong, etc., without specific restrictions. The limiting block 1102 can be entirely set in the insertion groove 1101, or it can be partially located in the insertion groove 1101. The missing part 2111 is only set to match the shape and size of the part of the limiting block 1102 located in the insertion groove 1101.
[0042] Among them, as attached Figure 3 As shown, when multiple anti-slip pads 4 are provided on the bottom surface of the first base 11, at least one anti-slip pad 4 can also be provided on the bottom surface of the plug-in plate 211. When supported on the bearing surface, the first base 11 and the plug-in plate 211 can respectively make close contact with the bearing surface through the anti-slip pads 4 to achieve reliable support and play an anti-slip protection role. In this case, the bottom surface of the limiting block 1102 can be set to not protrude from the bottom surface of the first base 11, or the bottom surface of the limiting block 1102 can be flush with the bottom surface of the anti-slip pad 4 provided on the bottom surface of the first base 11, so as to achieve that the first base 11 can be stably supported on the bearing surface. The material of the anti-slip pad 4 can be, but is not limited to, rubber, silicone, etc.
[0043] Further, see attached document. Figure 3 In a specific implementation, the first base 11 is provided with a latch slot 1103 on at least one side of the insertion groove 1101 in the first direction a, and the opening of the latch slot 1103 faces the edge of the first side 11a; the insertion plate 211 has at least one latch 2112 that corresponds to and is adapted to the latch slot 1103; wherein the extending direction of the edge of the first side 11a satisfies the same condition as the first direction a.
[0044] Specifically, in order to further improve the accuracy and efficiency of the insertion of the insertion plate 211 and the insertion groove 1101, the technical solution adopted in this application can be to open the insertion groove 1101 on the bottom surface of the first base 11, and to provide a locking tongue slot 1103 on at least one of the two opposite sides of the insertion groove 1101 in the first direction a. Here, the first direction a and the extension direction of the edge of the first side 11a meet the same conditions. Correspondingly, locking tongues 2112 are provided on the insertion plate 211 in a number corresponding to the number of locking tongue slots 1103 and in a position and shape that are adapted to each other. During the insertion process of the insertion plate 211 and the insertion groove 1101, the locking tongues 2112 can be inserted into the corresponding locking tongue slots 1103, which can further limit the relative position of the insertion plate 211 and the insertion groove 1101 in the first direction a, and improve the reliability of the positioning of the first body and the second body.
[0045] Further, see attached document. Figure 3In a specific implementation, the bottom of the insertion groove 1101 is provided with a recessed portion, and the insertion plate 211 has a recessed area 2113 that corresponds to and is adapted to the recessed portion. The recessed area 2113 forms a receiving space for accommodating the locking member so that the locking member does not protrude from the bottom surface of the first base 11.
[0046] Specifically, to prevent the locking element from protruding from the bottom surface of the first base 11 and affecting the stability of the first base 11 supported on the support surface, the technical solution adopted in this application can provide a recessed portion at the bottom of the insertion groove 1101. The shape of the recessed portion can be, but is not limited to, circular. The insertion plate 211 has a recessed area 2113 that corresponds to and fits the recessed portion. When the insertion plate 211 is inserted into the insertion groove 1101, the recessed area 2113 of the insertion plate 211 is embedded in the recessed portion. The recessed area 2113 and the bearing surface can form a receiving space, which can be used to receive the locking element. Thus, after the insertion plate 211 and the insertion groove 1101 are reliably locked by the locking element, the locking element can be located in the receiving space and does not protrude from the bottom surface of the first base 11, thereby not affecting the stability of the first base 11 supported on the bearing surface.
[0047] Among them, reference appendix Figure 3 In order to lock and fix the locking component to the plug plate 211 and the plug groove 1101, in a specific implementation, a threaded hole can be opened in the recessed part, and a through hole corresponding to the threaded hole and with a suitable size can be opened in the recessed area 2113. The locking component can be set to include a locking screw 31. During installation, after the plug plate 211 and the plug groove 1101 are inserted into place, the locking screw 31 passes through the through hole and is screwed into the threaded hole, which can realize the reliable locking of the plug plate 211 and the plug groove 1101, that is, the reliable positioning of the first body and the second body. After locking, the screw head of the locking screw 31 is located in the receiving space and will not affect the support stability of the first base 11 of the first body.
[0048] Further, see attached document. Figure 3 In a specific implementation, the locking component further includes a quick-release half-ring 32, the two ends of which are rotatably connected to the two ends of the screw head, and its rotation axis passes through the center of the screw head.
[0049] Specifically, to improve the ease of disassembling the plug-in plate 211 from the plug-in groove 1101, the technical solution adopted in this application includes a quick-release half-ring 32 connected to the locking screw 31. This quick-release half-ring 32 can be configured as a semi-circular annular plate structure, with its two ends rotatably connected to opposite ends of the screw head of the locking screw 31. The axis of rotation of the quick-release half-ring 32 relative to the locking screw 31 can pass through the center of the locking head, thus allowing for easy disassembly of the locking screw 31 by the quick-release half-ring. 32 can be rotated to an angle perpendicular to the bottom surface of the first base 11, and the quick-release half ring 32 can be turned around the axis of the locking screw 31 to tighten or loosen the locking screw 31. This allows for convenient and quick assembly and disassembly of the locking screw 31 without the need for other tools. After the locking screw 31 is tightened, the quick-release half ring 32 can be rotated to an angle parallel to the bottom surface of the first base 11 and accommodated together with the screw head of the locking screw 31 in the accommodating space. This does not affect the supporting stability of the first base 11 of the first body.
[0050] Further, see attached document. Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 4 In a specific implementation, the first body also includes a display 12, which is fixed to the first base 11 by a support arm 13, and the first side 11a is the side facing away from the display surface of the display 12.
[0051] Specifically, in the technical solution adopted in this application, the main structure of the first body can be a display 12. The display surface of the display 12 can be located on the side away from the second body, that is, the first side 11a edge of the second base 21 of the first base 11 used to connect the second body is located on the side away from the display surface of the display 12. The display 12 can be fixed to the first base 11 by a support arm 13. The support arm 13 can support the display 12 to a certain height. The support arm 13 can have at least one of the following functions, including but not limited to telescopic, folding, and rotation relative to the first base 11, so that the user can adjust the height, tilt angle and horizontal angle of the display 12 according to the user's needs, thereby improving the user experience.
[0052] Further, see attached document. Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 4In a specific implementation, the main structure of the second body can be a chassis body 22, which houses electronic devices, including an image processing unit. The image processing unit can be a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), an image processing chip, etc. The image processing unit is electrically connected to the display 12 and can work with the display 12 to complete the display function. It can also perform optimization tasks such as image quality improvement and performance adaptation to improve the display quality of the display 12. The chassis body 22 is installed on the second base 21, which can be detachably connected.
[0053] Among them, reference appendix Figure 3 and attached Figure 4 To further improve the versatility of electronic devices, in a specific implementation, the second base 21 further includes a first plate 212, which is integrally formed with the plug-in plate 211. The first plate 212 is adapted to the bottom surface size of the chassis body 22 and is fixed to the bottom surface of the chassis body 22. The fixing method can be, but is not limited to, one of the detachable connection methods such as threaded locking, plugging, and snap-fit. This design enables the main structure of the second body to be connected to the first body by cooperating with the first plate 212, thereby improving versatility. Furthermore, the bottom surface size and shape of the first body are adapted to the chassis body 22, improving the aesthetics of the second body and reducing the load-bearing surface space occupied by the second body.
