Electronic device

Abstract

An electronic device includes a main unit, a screen, a functional component, a guiding structure, and a linkage mechanism. The main unit has a front end and a rear end opposite to each other, wherein the rear end has a receiving groove, an open end of which extends from an upper surface of the main unit to a rear surface of the main unit. The screen is pivotally connected to the rear end, wherein the receiving groove is located behind the screen. The functional component is detachably disposed within the receiving groove. The guiding structure is disposed at the rear end and is adapted to guide the functional component out of the receiving groove along a disassembly direction inclined to the upper surface of the main unit. The linkage mechanism is disposed at the rear end and is adapted to lock the functional component within the receiving groove or release the functional component.

Claims

1. An electronic device comprising: A host unit having a front end and a rear end opposite to each other, wherein the rear end has a receiving groove, an open end of which extends from an upper surface of the host unit to a rear surface of the host unit; a screen pivotally connected to the rear end, wherein the receiving groove is located behind the screen; a functional component detachably disposed within the receiving groove; a guide structure disposed at the rear end and adapted to guide the functional component out of the receiving groove along a disassembly direction inclined to the upper surface of the host unit; and a linkage mechanism disposed at the rear end and adapted to lock the functional component within the receiving groove or release the functional component.

2. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the functional component is a game controller, a control device, or an expansion device.

3. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the guiding structure is adapted to guide the functional component to be installed into the receiving recess along an installation direction opposite to the disassembly direction.

4. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the guiding structure includes a protrusion, the functional component has a recess, the protrusion is inserted into the recess when the functional component is disposed in the receiving recess, and the protrusion is adapted to guide the functional component to move along the disassembly direction.

5. The electronic device of claim 4, wherein an inner wall of the receiving recess has a notch, the protrusion is formed in the notch, the functional component has a lug, the recess is formed in the lug, the lug being adapted to extend into the notch so that the protrusion is inserted into the recess.

6. The electronic device of claim 5, wherein the linkage mechanism includes a pressing member exposed on the upper surface and adjacent to the screen, adapted to be pressed to drive the linkage mechanism to release the functional component.

7. The electronic device as claimed in claim 6, wherein the linkage mechanism further includes a locking member, the pressing member being movably disposed at the rear end in a pressing direction, the locking member being slidably disposed at the rear end in a sliding direction and adapted to lock the functional component in the receiving groove, the pressing member being adapted to be pressed to push the locking member to move in the sliding direction to release the functional component.

8. The electronic device as claimed in claim 7, wherein the locking member is disposed within the host and has a locking portion adapted to extend into the receiving recess to lock the functional component.

9. The electronic device of claim 8, wherein the functional component has a locking slot, and the locking part is adapted to extend into the locking slot to lock the functional component.

10. The electronic device of claim 6, wherein the linkage mechanism further includes a first elastic member connected between the pressing member and the main unit, the pressing member being pressed against the elastic force of the first elastic member and being reset by the elastic force of the first elastic member.

11. The electronic device of claim 7, wherein the linkage mechanism further includes a second elastic member connected between the locking member and the host, the locking member being adapted to lock the functional component by the elastic force of the second elastic member and to release the functional component against the elastic force of the second elastic member.

12. The electronic device of claim 7, wherein the pressing member has a first inclined surface, the locking member has a second inclined surface, the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface are inclined to the pressing direction and the sliding direction, and the first inclined surface is adapted to push the second inclined surface to move the locking member along the sliding direction.

13. The electronic device of claim 1 further includes a pusher, wherein the pusher is movably disposed at the rear end in a pusher direction, and when the linkage releases the functional component, the pusher is adapted to push the functional component in the pusher direction so that the functional component is moved in the disassembly direction by the guidance of the guide structure.

14. The electronic device of claim 13, wherein the pusher is disposed within the host and has a push portion adapted to extend into the receiving recess to push against the functional component.

15. The electronic device of claim 13 further includes a third elastic member, wherein the third elastic member is connected between the pusher and the host, the linkage mechanism is adapted to lock the functional component against the elastic force of the third elastic member, and the pusher is adapted to push the functional component by the elastic force of the third elastic member.

16. The electronic device of claim 5, wherein the recess of the receiving groove has a first electrical connection portion and the lug of the functional component has a second electrical connection portion, wherein when the lug extends into the recess, the first electrical connection portion is electrically connected to the second electrical connection portion.
