For above-mentioned and other purposes, feature and advantage of the present invention can be become apparent, cited below particularlyly go out specific embodiments of the invention, and conjunction with figs., be described in detail as follows.
Below please in the lump with reference to figure 1～4, it is first embodiment about digital camera of the present invention.Fig. 1 is the stereogram of Foldable portable electronic device of the present invention in opening, Fig. 2 is the stereogram of Foldable portable electronic device of the present invention in closure state, Fig. 3 is the schematic diagram of Foldable portable electronic device of the present invention in the closure state pressing keys, and Fig. 4 is the switch of Foldable portable electronic device first embodiment of the present invention and the exploded view of button.
In present embodiment, Foldable portable electronic device 100 is a notebook computer.Shown in Fig. 1～4, comprise loam cake 50, main body 60, at least one switch 10 and at least one button 20 according to the Foldable portable electronic device 100 of the first embodiment of the present invention.
Wherein, loam cake 50 is the position that screen 52 is set, and main body 60 is articulated in loam cake 50, and loam cake 50 can be opened entire angle according to the adjustment of user's demand with main body 60.Have opening (as shown in Figure 1) and closure state (as shown in Figure 2) between loam cake 50 and the main body 60.Opening is generally the general user mode of Foldable portable electronic device 100, and closure state is generally the state when taking in or carrying.
The edge of main body 60 has the holding part 62 that is recess, at least one button 20 is set.In present embodiment, holding part 62 all is set for the left side of main body 60 and right side edge so that ccontaining at least one button 20.But the quantity and the position of holding part 62 are not limited thereto.
Please refer to Fig. 4.Switch 10 is positioned at main body 60.At least one switch 10 can further be divided at least one first switch 12 and at least one second switch 14, wherein first switch 12 is as under the closure state, the switch that button 20 can move when horizontal direction (direction shown in the arrow of Fig. 3) is mobile, and second switch 14 is used as under the opening, the switch that button 20 can move when vertical direction moves.
In present embodiment, each switch 10 is all elastic switch, and it is normalized module, and the characteristic of elastic switch is that it can be depressed the back by external force and move, and then is failure to actuate when external force removes and returns back to original position.
First 22 be Foldable portable electronic device 100 when closure state, the plane (as shown in Figure 3) that user's finger 90 can directly touch, first 22 makes 12 actions of corresponding first switch after being pressed.When opening, second 24 can be pressed and make 14 actions of corresponding second switch.For considering of overall appearance and volume, in present embodiment, when closure state, first 22 edge with loam cake 50 and main body 60 of button 20 trims, but the present invention is not as limit.
Each button 20 all can move by two different directions.Please refer to Fig. 4, move in horizontal direction in order to make button 20, in present embodiment, button 20 comprises two chutes 26, main body 60 then comprises slide rail 64, and chute 26 cooperatively interacts with the shape and the position of slide rail 64, makes two chutes 26 of each button 20 to slide mutually with two slide rails 64.Button 20 can by chute 26 in its corresponding slide rail 64 along first direction (direction shown in the arrow of Fig. 3, also for perpendicular to first 22 direction) slide to move corresponding first switch 12.In present embodiment, first switch 12 is arranged at the end of slide rail 64, but the present invention is not as limit.
In addition, move in vertical direction in order to make button 20, in present embodiment, each slide rail 64 also comprises expansion section 642, and each chute 26 also comprises and enlarges notch 262.Expansion section 642 cooperatively interacts with the shape and the position that enlarge notch 262, the height that enlarges notch 262 is slightly larger than the height of expansion section 642, make to enlarge notch 262 and 642 can move up and down in the expansion section, wherein displacement is about the displacement that can be depressed of second switch 14.Therefore, the expansion notch 262 that each button 20 can be by chute 26 moves so that 14 actions of corresponding second switch along second direction (promptly perpendicular to second 24 direction) in the expansion section 642 of its corresponding slide rail 64.In present embodiment, first direction is vertical in fact with second direction, but the present invention is not limited to this.
Please in the lump with reference to figure 3 and Fig. 4, so that the manner of execution of explanation button 20.When first 22 of button 20 is pressed, the chute 26 of button 20 slides along the bearing of trend (also being first direction, horizontal direction) of slide rail 64, make button 20 slide left, just first switch 12 can be contacted with first 22 relative button 20 interior sidewall surface 23, specific feature operation can be carried out.
Fig. 3 is an example with the required related key of audio-visual broadcast, the user does not need loam cake 50 is opened, just can carry out the required broadcast of playing back music, stop, last head, next etc. operation, make things convenient for the user during moving, to use Foldable portable electronic device 100.
The function of button 20 is not limited only to above-mentioned.For instance, button 20 also can be the button relevant with the networking telephone, for example converses, hangs up, button such as volume adjustment.But it is noted that when first 22 or second 24 of same button 20 were pressed, 100 functions that can carry out of Foldable portable electronic device can be identical, but also can be different functions.
Please in the lump with reference to figure 1 and Fig. 4.When opening, second 24 of button 20 can be pressed, because the height that enlarges notch 262 is slightly larger than the height of expansion section 642, make the expansion notch 262 of button 20 can be along the expansion section 642 move with vertical direction (also being second direction), make the protuberance 28 of button 20 that second switch 14 is depressed, can carry out specific feature operation.By said structure, when loam cake 50 is opened, also can use identical button 20 to operate, therefore can reduce significantly that the required space of button 20 being set.
Then please refer to Fig. 5, it is the switch of Foldable portable electronic device second embodiment of the present invention and the exploded view of button.Foldable portable electronic device 100a according to a second embodiment of the present invention comprises loam cake 50, main body 60a, at least one switch 10a and at least one button 20a.Different with above-mentioned first embodiment is, each switch 10a is multi-direction switch (for example five to a switch), and button 20a is fixed in switch 10a by recess 25a.Five to switch can carry out left, to the right, upwards, downwards, the inwardly action of five directions such as pressures, it belongs to existing element, and has been widely used on the devices such as mobile phone, remote controller, so repeats no more its thin bilge construction.
In sum, the present invention can reduce the cost that a plurality of unidirectional buttons are set by no matter same button 20,20a all being moved in closure state or opening with button 20, the 20a of both direction action.In addition, Foldable portable electronic device 100 when operational and controlled key button 20,20a, in controlling more than being easy under the opening under the closure state, increases the convenience that uses under mobile status.In addition, when closure state,, therefore can save electric power, increase Foldable portable electronic device 100,100a service time owing to control Foldable portable electronic device 100,100a and need not light screen 52.
In sum, no matter the present invention all shows it be different from the feature of prior art with regard to purpose, means and effect.But must notice that the foregoing description only is exemplary illustration principle of the present invention and effect thereof, but not is used to limit the scope of the invention.The scope of the present invention should be defined by appended claims institute restricted portion.
