[0019] Screen projection electronic devices provided in related technologies typically use screws as connectors for deployment. This deployment process is complex and inefficient.

[0020] To overcome the problems in related technologies, this disclosure provides a new screen projection electronic device. The screen projection electronic device provided in this disclosure uses magnetic adsorption as a deployment method, enabling rapid deployment in various scenarios.

[0021] The embodiments of this disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] Figure 1 A perspective view of a screen projection electronic device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 1 As shown, the projection electronic device 100 may include a housing 101 and a motherboard (not shown) disposed inside the housing 101. The housing 101 includes a top plate, side plates, and a bottom plate of the projection electronic device 100. The motherboard may have circuit structures for implementing various functions of the projection electronic device. Those skilled in the art can design circuit structures for implementing various functions of the projection electronic device according to the actual usage scenario, and no limitations are placed on the motherboard design and functional design of the projection electronic device herein.

[0023] Figure 2A The image shows exploded views of the projection electronic device 100 from two different angles, including the internal structure of the projection electronic device.

[0024] The projection electronic device 100 may include: a housing; a motherboard, wherein the motherboard is disposed inside the housing; a magnetic connector, which is disposed between the motherboard and the housing and is used to fix the housing to a mounting surface; and a buffer, which is disposed on the housing to buffer the force exerted during the process of the magnetic connector being connected to the mounting surface.

[0025] By utilizing the screen projection electronic device provided in this disclosure, and by employing magnetic connectors and buffer components in combination, a convenient and detachable fixing method can be provided when fixing the screen projection electronic device to the mounting surface, while improving the stability of the installation.

[0026] The principle of the screen projection electronic device provided in this disclosure will be described in detail below.

[0027] like Figure 2A As shown, the projection electronics 100 includes a motherboard 102 and a magnetic connector 103 within the top plate 1011 and bottom plate 1012 of the housing 101. The magnetic connector 103 is disposed between the motherboard and the housing and is used to fix the housing to the mounting surface. Figure 2AIn the illustrated example, the magnetic connector 103 is disposed between the motherboard and the base plate 1012 of the housing, enabling the magnetic connector to secure the base plate of the housing to the mounting surface. It is understood that those skilled in the art can also dispose of the magnetic connector 103 between the motherboard and the top plate 1011 of the housing, thereby enabling the top plate of the housing to be secured to the mounting surface. In some embodiments, the housing 101 may be provided with a structure for receiving the magnetic connector 103, and components for securing the magnetic connector. Figure 3 An example diagram shows the installation of a screen-projecting electronic device onto a display. (Example image follows) Figure 3 As shown, the projection electronic device 100 is fixed to the back of the display 300, making it convenient for users to connect electronic devices to be projected onto the display and perform subsequent operations. It is understood that, depending on the actual usage scenario, the mounting surface of the projection display device can also be other fixed brackets or devices.

[0028] As mentioned above, the projection electronic device 100 is fixed to the mounting surface using the magnetic connector 103. To achieve the above installation, a magnet or metal corresponding to the magnetic connector is arranged on the mounting surface, so that a magnetic force can be generated between the magnetic connector and the mounting surface, thereby attracting the projection electronic device to the mounting surface.

[0029] Using the above method, the projection electronic device can be quickly deployed and disassembled, and it can also be conveniently fixed in a suitable position through this connection method.

[0030] In some embodiments, the magnetic connector 103 may include a plurality of magnetic sheets. Figure 2A In the example shown, the magnetic connector 103 includes three magnetic pieces. Those skilled in the art can increase or decrease the number of magnetic pieces according to actual needs. By using multiple magnetic pieces as the magnetic connector, the fixing range between the projection electronics device and the mounting surface can be increased without increasing the volume of the magnetic pieces, thus reducing the overall weight of the projection electronics device while improving installation stability, thereby reducing manufacturing costs and improving user experience. Furthermore, Figure 2A The magnetic sheet shown has a rectangular shape, but those skilled in the art can design it into other shapes, such as squares, circles, or any other suitable geometric shapes, depending on the specific circumstances. Furthermore, multiple magnetic sheets in a magnetic connector can have the same shape or different shapes.

[0031] In the example, the multiple magnetic pieces in the magnetic connector 103 can be arranged separately at predetermined intervals. For example... Figure 2AAs shown, three magnetic plates are arranged side by side with a certain distance between them. This ensures that when the projection device is fixed to the mounting surface, there are multiple fixed points corresponding to the intervals of each magnetic plate between the projection device and the mounting surface. This prevents the projection device from tipping over or rotating on the mounting surface, thus improving the installation stability of the projection device. Although Figure 2A The magnetic sheet shown is configured to be arranged along the longer side of the projection electronic device. Those skilled in the art can arrange the positions of multiple magnetic sheets in any other way according to the actual situation, such as arranging them along the shorter side of the projection electronic device, or arranging them in a ring around the center of the projection electronic device.

[0032] like Figure 2A As shown, the projection electronic device also includes a buffer 104, which is arranged on the housing to buffer the force exerted during the process of connecting the magnetic connector to the mounting surface.

[0033] In some embodiments, the buffer 104 may at least partially overlap with the position of the magnetic sheet in the magnetic connector 104. The buffer 104 may be made of silicone. Silicone provides both cushioning and good friction to prevent the installed projection electronic device from sliding on the mounting surface. Those skilled in the art may also use any other material with cushioning properties as the buffer, such as PU foam or rubber, depending on the specific circumstances.

[0034] In one example, the buffer 104 may include a first portion that surrounds the edge of the housing. In another example, the buffer 104 may include a second portion arranged corresponding to at least one of the plurality of magnetic sheets. It is understood that, although Figure 2A In the example shown, the buffer is arranged on the bottom plate of the projection electronic device, but the embodiments of this disclosure are not limited thereto. When the fixing surface between the projection electronic device and the mounting surface is the top plate of the projection electronic device instead of the bottom plate, the buffer can also be arranged on the top plate of the projection electronic device accordingly.

[0035] exist Figure 2A In the middle, the first part of the buffer 104 is shown as Figure 2A The annular silicone member 1041, the second part of the buffer member 104 is shown as Figure 2A Silicone sheets 1042 are arranged in a manner corresponding to the two magnetic sheets. Figure 2BThis diagram shows a bottom view of the projection electronics device with the buffer positioned at its bottom. By placing the buffer between the projection electronics device and the mounting surface, the forces exerted during the magnetic attraction process are cushioned, preventing damage to the projection electronics device and / or the mounting surface. Furthermore, the buffer between the projection electronics device and the mounting surface provides friction, preventing the projection electronics device from sliding on the mounting surface. Moreover, by arranging the buffer portion corresponding to the magnetic sheet, the position of the magnetic connector can be easily shown to the user, facilitating the alignment of the magnetic connector with the corresponding magnetic attraction position on the mounting surface.

[0036] Apart from Figure 2A Besides the examples of the shapes of buffers 1041 and 1042 shown, those skilled in the art can design buffers into any other suitable shape according to the actual situation. For example, buffer 1041 can be designed as an intermittent ring shape formed by several buffer segments (instead of...). Figure 2A The complete ring shape shown can be arranged only at the four bottom corners, or any other shape that can adapt to the bottom shape of the projection electronic device. For example, the shape of the buffer 1042... Figure 2A The shape of the buffer 1042 is shown to conform to the shape of the magnetic sheets on both sides of the magnetic connector 103. Besides this example, the buffer 1042 can also be designed to have a different shape from the magnetic sheets. Furthermore, Figure 2A The image shows two buffers 1042, the number of which is less than Figure 2A The number of magnetic sheets in the buffer. However, the same number of buffers 1042 or more than the number of magnetic sheets may also be provided depending on the actual situation.

[0037] Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the signal light arrangement of a projection electronic device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown.

[0038] like Figure 4 As shown, the projection electronic device 100 may include a first signal light and a second signal light arranged at different positions on the housing, such as... Figure 4 The diagram shows a first indicator light 401 and a second indicator light 402. The first and second indicator lights are configured to indicate network connection status and screen projection status, respectively. Using this method, different indicator lights can quickly indicate different states of the screen projection electronic device, helping users to quickly identify them.

[0039] exist Figure 4 In the example shown, the first indicator light 401 is arranged on the top plate of the housing. The light 4011 of the first indicator light 401 is directly transmitted to the outside of the housing of the projection electronic device. With this arrangement, the signal emitted by the first indicator light can be conveniently and directly observed by the user.

[0040] The second signal light 402 is an L-shaped light strip arranged at the junction of the base plate and the side plate of the housing. The light 4021 on one side of the L-shaped light strip can directly transmit light to the outside of the housing, while the light 4022 on the base plate reflects light off the mounting surface before transmitting it to the outside. Using this method, the second signal light can illuminate the mounting surface while indicating the connection status, making it easier for users to identify any displacement or detachment between the projection electronic device and the mounting surface. With this arrangement, the second signal light can provide a different lighting effect than the first signal light, making it easier for users to distinguish the signals emitted by different signal lights.

[0041] In some examples, the first signal light 401 and the second signal light 402 may emit the same color, allowing users to identify the device status corresponding to different signal lights by observing different light positions or different light emission modes (such as flashing or constant illumination) on the projection electronic device. In other examples, the first signal light 401 and the second signal light 402 may emit different colors, allowing users to identify the device status by observing different light emission colors on the projection electronic device.

[0042] Understandably, except Figure 4 Apart from the specific shape examples of the first signal light 401 and the second signal light 402 shown, those skilled in the art can design the light emission of the first signal light and the second signal light to other shapes (such as circles, squares, or any suitable shape) according to the actual situation.
