Solution Overview
Problem
Users of touch notebook computers face difficulties in easily disassembling the touch tablet from the keyboard dock, limiting the convenience and portability of these devices.
Innovation Solution
A detachable touch notebook computer design featuring a keyboard dock, a positioning member, a touch tablet, a connector, and a latch, where the connector's interlocking structure drives the latch to disengage the touch tablet from the keyboard dock, allowing for easy assembly and disassembly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If the touch tablet is integrated with the keyboard dock using a fixed connection mechanism, then the structural stability is improved, but the ease of disassembly deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The connection mechanism transitions from a fixed state to a dynamic state through the rotation of the touch tablet. When rotated to a predetermined angle, the connector triggers the latch to release, allowing the touch tablet to be detached from the keyboard dock. This dynamic mechanism enables the system to switch between stable connection and easy disassembly states.
Solution Approach 2:
The latch acts as an intermediary component between the connector and the keyboard dock. It mediates the connection state by engaging with the connector to maintain stability during normal use, and disengaging when the touch tablet is rotated to the predetermined angle, thus enabling easy disassembly without requiring complex tools or procedures.
2Ease of operation
If a detachable connection mechanism is used between the touch tablet and keyboard dock, then the ease of disassembly is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The connection mechanism is segmented into distinct functional components: the connector attached to the touch tablet, the latch attached to the keyboard dock, and the positioning member that guides the rotation. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function simply, avoiding the need for a single complex mechanism while enabling easy disassembly through the coordinated action of these simple parts.
Solution Approach 2:
The connection mechanism is designed to be self-operating through the user's natural action of rotating the touch tablet. The rotation itself triggers the release mechanism without requiring the user to manually manipulate the latch or use additional tools. The system serves itself by converting the rotational motion into the release action, thereby maintaining simplicity while achieving ease of disassembly.
Data Source
AI summary
The present disclosure provides a detachable touch notebook computer, which comprises a touch tablet, a connector, and a keyboard dock. The connector has an interlocking structure and a latch, at which the interlocking structure is pivoted. The keyboard dock has a positioning member disposed at the latch. Thereby, the touch tablet can be disposed on the keyboard dock and forming the touch notebook computer. According to the touch notebook computer of the present disclosure, the interlocking structure is driven by rotating the touch tablet. Then the interlocking structure drives the latch to move, enabling the positioning member to come off from the latch and thus detaching the touch tablet from the keyboard dock.
