Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic equipment technology, specifically to an electronic device and a support unit for the electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, electronic devices such as learning machines are often equipped with reflectors. When a reflector is installed in a learning machine, it can reflect the content of paper documents such as test papers and textbooks on the table onto the machine's camera for image capture and reading. This facilitates the electronic presentation of paper content, allowing users to perform online grading of test papers and point-and-read functions for textbooks. However, in these technologies, reflectors are generally considered independent accessories, making them prone to loss during use and significantly impacting user experience.

[0003] Therefore, how to provide a solution to overcome or alleviate the above-mentioned defects remains a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0024] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

Thus, a feature defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.

[0026] In the description of the embodiments of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection" and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, "linking" can be a detachable connection or a non-detachable connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium.

Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes that element.

[0028] Please refer to Figures 1-5 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an electronic device provided in an embodiment of the present utility model, wherein the reflector is in the storage position; Figure 2 for Figure 1 A structural diagram from another perspective; Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an electronic device provided in an embodiment of the present utility model, wherein the reflector is in the use position; Figure 4 for Figure 3 A structural diagram from another perspective; Figure 5 for Figure 4 Side view.

[0029] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment of the present invention provides an electronic device, which may be, for example, a learning machine, including a device body 1000 and a support unit 2000.

[0030] The device body 1000 is the main structure of the electronic device, primarily used to implement the relevant functions of the electronic device. As shown in the attached diagram... Figures 1-5 As shown, the device body 1000 can generally be flat. In some other implementations of this utility model, the device body 1000 can also have other structures, shapes, etc. For example, the device body 1000 can be configured to be foldable, so that the device body 1000 can present more shapes and postures during use, thereby better meeting the requirements of use.

[0031] The support unit 2000 is configured to support the device body 1000 and can be used to ensure the stability of the electronic device during use.

[0032] In some implementations, the support unit 2000 may include a support body 2100 and a support member 2400 disposed on the support body 2100, the support member 2400 being configured to support the device body 1000 of the electronic device. That is, the support unit 2000 may specifically support the device body 1000 through the support member 2400.

[0033] The support component 2400 and the bracket body 2100 can be integrally molded structures, such as integral injection molding, integral casting, or integral extrusion molding. This makes the fabrication and molding of the bracket unit 2000 relatively easy and efficient. Alternatively, the support component 2400 and the bracket body 2100 can be fabricated separately and then assembled using welding, insertion, snap-fit, or bonding methods, which is also feasible.

[0034] Combination Figure 5 The support member 2400 can be generally L-shaped, including a first plate portion 2410 and a second plate portion 2420 arranged at an angle, such as 90 degrees. The first plate portion 2410 can be connected to the bracket body 2100, and the second plate portion 2420 can be spaced apart from the bracket body 2100.

[0035] With this configuration, the first plate portion 2410 can serve as a lower support plate, and an accommodating gap can be formed between the second plate portion 2420 and the support body 2100. When it is necessary to support the equipment body 1000, the equipment body 1000 can be inserted into the aforementioned accommodating gap, and the equipment body 1000 can be supported by the first plate portion 2410, thereby enabling the support unit 2000 to support the equipment body 1000.

[0036] It should be understood that the above description of the specific structural form of the support component 2400 is merely an exemplary illustration of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. This should not be construed as limiting the scope of the electronic device and support unit 2000 provided by the present invention. Under the condition of satisfying the function, the support component 2400 may also adopt other structural forms. For example, the support component 2400 may also be U-shaped. In this case, in addition to the first plate portion 2410 and the second plate portion 2420, the support component 2400 may also include a third plate portion (not shown in the figure). The third plate portion may be disposed opposite to the second plate portion 2420, and the device body 1000 may specifically be disposed between the second plate portion 2420 and the third plate portion. Alternatively, the support component 2400 may not be provided. In this case, a support groove may be provided in the support body 2100, and the device body 1000 may be supported through this support groove. This is also feasible.

[0037] Furthermore, this embodiment of the invention does not limit the specific structural form of the support body 2100. In practical applications, those skilled in the art can also make adjustments according to specific needs, as long as the requirements for use are met. For example, in the implementation of the accompanying drawings, as shown... Figures 1-5 As shown, the support body 2100 can be a tubular component with a generally triangular cross-section, including a bottom tube wall 2100A and two side tube walls 2100B. For example, as... Figures 1-5 In one variation of the implementation, the support body 2100 may not include the bottom tube wall 2100A. In this case, the cross-section of the support body 2100 can be approximately V-shaped. Alternatively, the support body 2100 can also be a tubular component with a cross-section approximately quadrilateral, pentagonal, or other shapes. Furthermore, the support body 2100 can also be a solid component.

[0038] As described in the background section, in related technologies, electronic devices such as learning machines are often equipped with reflectors. When a reflector is installed in a learning machine, it can reflect the content of paper documents such as test papers and textbooks on the desktop onto the learning machine's camera for image capture and reading. This facilitates the electronic presentation of paper content, allowing users to perform online grading of test papers and point-and-read functions on textbooks through electronic devices such as learning machines. However, in related technologies, reflectors are generally considered independent accessories, which are prone to loss during use, seriously affecting user experience.

[0039] In this embodiment of the invention, the support unit 2000 further includes a connecting component 2200 and a reflector 2300. The support body 2100 is provided with a first mounting portion 2110, one end of the connecting component 2200 is connected to the first mounting portion 2110, and the other end of the connecting component 2200 is connected to the reflector 2300.

[0040] Combination Figures 3-5 When the reflector 2300 needs to be used, it can be installed on the device body 1000, specifically on the side wall of the device body 1000, in the usage position, so as to conveniently reflect the content of paper documents such as test papers and textbooks on the desktop. It should be noted that the specific positional relationship between the reflector 2300 and the device body 1000 in the usage position is not limited here; in practical applications, those skilled in the art can refer to relevant technologies for configuration.

[0041] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 When the reflector 2300 is not needed, the connection between the reflector 2300 and the device body 1000 can be disconnected. At this time, the reflector 2300 is still connected to the bracket body 2100 through the connecting component 2200, and does not exist independently. Therefore, the possibility of the reflector 2300 being lost is relatively low.

[0042] In other words, by setting the connecting component 2200 to connect the reflector 2300 to the bracket body 2100, the reflector 2300 can be integrated into the bracket unit 2000. The reflector 2300 is no longer an independent accessory and does not need to be stored separately. Consequently, it is less likely to be lost, which can reduce the impact on the normal use of electronic devices.

[0043] In some implementations, the connecting member 2200 can be a flexible connecting member. The flexible connecting member can be easily bent and deformed, thereby adapting to the switching of the reflector 2300 between different positions.

[0044] Here, this embodiment of the utility model does not limit the specific structural form and material of the connecting component 2200. In practical applications, those skilled in the art can select according to specific needs, as long as it can meet the requirements of use. For example, the flexible connecting component can be made of leather, cloth, etc. As another example, the flexible connecting component can also be a chain, which includes multiple connected links. Adjacent links can rotate relative to each other, thereby allowing the flexible connecting component to bend and deform.

[0045] In addition, in some other implementations of this utility model, the connecting component 2200 can also be a rigid connecting component. In this case, the rigid connecting component should be able to rotate or translate relative to the support body 2100, so as to conveniently switch the position of the reflector 2300.

[0046] In some implementations, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first mounting part 2110 can be a connecting hole, and one end of the connecting member 2200 can be connected to the connecting hole.

[0047] Here, this embodiment of the utility model does not limit the specific connection method between the connecting component 2200 and the connecting hole. In practical applications, those skilled in the art can choose according to specific needs, as long as the requirements of use are met. For example, when the connecting component 2200 is fabric (such as canvas), the connecting component 2200 can pass through the connecting hole, and one end of the connecting component 2200 can be knotted to form a rope knot, which cannot pass through the connecting hole; in this way, the connection between the connecting component 2200 and the connecting hole can be achieved. As another example, one end of the connecting component 2200 can be provided with a connector, such as a pin, screw, etc., and the connecting component 2200 can be connected to the connecting hole through this connector.

[0048] It should be understood that the specific structural form of the first mounting part 2110 is related to the connection method between the connecting component 2200 and the bracket body 2100. Therefore, the specific structural form of the first mounting part 2110 is not limited to the aforementioned connecting hole; it can also adopt other structural forms, as long as they can satisfy the reliable connection of the connecting component 2200. For example, when one end of the connecting component 2200 is bonded and fixed to the bracket body 2100, the first mounting part 2110 can be a rough surface to improve the reliability of the bonding; or, the first mounting part 2110 can be a receiving groove to accommodate the adhesive. As another example, when one end of the connecting component 2200 is engaged with the bracket body 2100, the first mounting part 2110 can also be a rotatable locking plate that can engage with the bracket body 2100, thereby achieving the fixation of one end of the connecting component 2200. For example, when one end of the connecting member 2200 and the bracket body 2100 are connected by a snap fastener, the snap fastener may include a male snap and a female snap, one of which may be installed on one end of the connecting member 2200, and the first mounting portion 2110 may include the other of the male snap and female snap. For example, when one end of the connecting member 2200 and the bracket body 2100 are connected by Velcro, the Velcro may include a female hook and a female hook, one of which may be installed on one end of the connecting member 2200, and the first mounting portion 2110 may include the other of the male hook and female hook. For example, when one end of the connecting member 2200 and the bracket body 2100 are connected by magnetic attraction, at least one of the connecting member 2200 and the first mounting portion 2110 may include a magnetic attraction element in the form of a magnet, so as to achieve magnetic attraction and fixation of the connecting member 2200.

[0049] In some implementations, such as Figure 3 As shown, the bracket body 2100 may be provided with a second mounting part 2120, and the reflector 2300 is configured to be detachably connected to the second mounting part 2120.

[0050] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 When the reflector 2300 is installed in the second mounting part 2120, the reflector 2300 can be in a retracted position, and the reflector 2300 can be fixed relative to the bracket body 2100, which can reduce the back-and-forth shaking of the reflector 2300 when not in use, and the resulting collision damage to the reflector 2300. Combined with Figures 3-5 When it is necessary to switch the reflector 2300 to the use position, the connection between the reflector 2300 and the second mounting part 2120 can be disconnected first, and then the position of the reflector 2300 can be adjusted.

[0051] In some implementations, at least one of the second mounting portion 2120 and the reflector 2300 may be provided with a magnetic element such as a magnet, and the reflector 2300 is configured to be magnetically connected to the second mounting portion 2120. In this way, the reflector 2300 and the second mounting portion 2120 can be connected by magnetic attraction, facilitating the connection and separation of the reflector 2300 and the second mounting portion 2120.

[0052] It can be seen that the above implementation methods actually include three schemes: 1) Both the second mounting part 2120 and the reflector 2300 are provided with magnetic attraction elements, and the polarities of the contacting surfaces of the two magnetic attraction elements are opposite, so as to facilitate magnetic fixation between the second mounting part 2120 and the reflector 2300; 2) The second mounting part 2120 is provided with magnetic attraction elements, and a portion of the reflector 2300 is made of ferromagnetic material; 3) The reflector 2300 is provided with magnetic attraction elements, and at least a portion of the second mounting part 2120 is made of ferromagnetic material. All three schemes are feasible.

[0053] In practical applications, the third solution described above can be adopted in this embodiment of the present invention, namely, setting magnetic elements in the reflector 2300 and using ferromagnetic material for at least a portion of the second mounting portion 2120. This reduces the number of magnetic elements used, resulting in a relatively low cost for the support unit 2000 provided in this embodiment. Furthermore, setting magnetic elements in the reflector 2300 also enables the connection between the reflector 2300 and the device body 1000 in the usage position, allowing for more efficient utilization of the magnetic elements in the reflector 2300.

[0054] It should be understood that, in addition to magnetic connection, in some other implementations of this utility model, the reflector 2300 and the second mounting part 2120 can also be connected by other detachable connection methods such as snap-fit, snap fastener, Velcro, screw connection, and plug-in. Correspondingly, the structural form of the second mounting part 2120 can also be adapted. For example, when the reflector 2300 and the second mounting part 2120 are snap-fitted, one of them may include a hook, and the other may include a slot. As another example, when the reflector 2300 and the second mounting part 2120 are connected by screws, the second mounting part 2120 may include a threaded hole. For example, when the reflector 2300 and the second mounting part 2120 are connected by a plug-in joint, one of them may be provided with a plug-in protrusion and the other may be provided with a plug-in recess. There may be a certain degree of interference between the plug-in protrusion and the plug-in recess. In this way, when the plug-in protrusion is plugged into the plug-in recess, the reflector 2300 can be reliably connected to the second mounting part 2120.

[0055] In some implementations, such as Figure 1and Figure 3 As shown, the surface of the bracket body 2100 may be provided with a receiving groove 2130.

[0056] The second mounting portion 2120 may be disposed on the bottom wall of the receiving groove 2130. When the reflector 2300 is connected to the second mounting portion 2120, at least a portion of the connecting member 2200 can be located in the receiving groove 2130 to improve the compactness of the structure and to help reduce the volume of the support unit 2000 in the connected state.

[0057] In the implementation of the attached diagram, as follows: Figure 1 As shown, when the reflector 2300 is connected to the second mounting portion 2120, the connecting member 2200 can be partially arched, allowing a portion of the connecting member 2200 to protrude from the receiving groove 2130. However, in some other implementations of this invention, when the reflector 2300 is connected to the second mounting portion 2120, the connecting member 2200 may not arch, but rather remain entirely within the receiving groove 2130; this is also feasible.

[0058] In some implementations, the support member 2400 and the first mounting part 2110 may be located on different sides of the bracket body 2100. This reduces the possibility of installation interference between the connecting member 2200 and the device body 1000, and facilitates the use of the electronic device and the bracket unit 2000 provided in this embodiment of the invention.

[0059] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
