Description

電子裝置 Electronic device

本發明系關於一種電子裝置,特別是一種可收納輸入模組於其內部的電子裝置。 The present invention relates to an electronic device, and more particularly to an electronic device in which an input module can be housed.

隨著科技日新月異,電腦的功能也越來越多元。近年來,使用者對於電腦攜帶性的要求越來越高。為了迎合使用者對電腦攜帶性的高要求,業界發展出小型且方便攜帶的平板型電腦供使用者使用。平板型電腦設置有觸控型螢幕,允許使用者利用觸控的方式來進行操作,而非利用傳統的滑鼠及實體鍵盤來進行輸入。 With the rapid development of technology, the functions of computers are becoming more diverse. In recent years, users have become more and more demanding for computer portability. In order to meet the high demands of users for computer portability, the industry has developed a small and portable tablet computer for users to use. The tablet computer is equipped with a touch screen that allows the user to operate with touch instead of using a traditional mouse and physical keyboard.

雖然使用者在使用平板電腦時,可利用觸控型螢幕來進行打字或文書處理,但對於需大量文書處理的情況,使用實體鍵盤輸入的效率比利用觸控型螢幕輸入的效率好,且某些使用者習慣使用實體鍵盤輸入而非觸控型螢幕輸入。因此,平板電腦的使用者也可以另外選配實體鍵盤來使用。然而,平板電腦的使用者欲使用實體鍵盤時,必須另外攜帶此鍵盤,因此降低了攜帶的方便性。有鑑於此,如何讓使用者能夠更方便的同時攜帶平板電腦及實體鍵盤,為業界所必須解決的重要問題。 Although the user can use the touch screen to perform typing or word processing when using the tablet, the efficiency of using the physical keyboard input is better than that of using the touch screen for a large amount of paper processing. These users are accustomed to using physical keyboard input instead of touch screen input. Therefore, the user of the tablet can also be additionally equipped with a physical keyboard to use. However, when a user of a tablet wants to use a physical keyboard, the keyboard must be additionally carried, thereby reducing the convenience of carrying. In view of this, how to make the tablet and the physical keyboard more convenient for users at the same time is an important problem that the industry must solve.

鑒於以上的問題,本發明是關於一種可收納輸入模組於其內部的電子裝置。 In view of the above problems, the present invention relates to an electronic device in which an input module can be housed.

本發明一實施例之電子裝置,包含一主機、一輸入模組及一開關結構。主機包含一顯示模組及一殼體。殼體具有一容置空間及一孔洞。輸入模組可分離地設置於該容置空間,且輸入模組包含一限位部。一開關結構包含一按鈕及一限位件。按鈕穿設於該孔洞。限位件位於主機內且固定於按鈕之一端。按鈕相對殼體具有一鎖合位置及一釋放位置。當輸入模組位於該容置空間內,且按鈕位於鎖合位置時,限位件與限位部互相干涉,使輸入模組固定於容置空間內。當按鈕由鎖合位置位移至釋放位置時,限位件與限位部解除干涉,使輸入模組可脫離出容置空間。 An electronic device according to an embodiment of the invention includes a host, an input module, and a switch structure. The host includes a display module and a housing. The housing has an accommodation space and a hole. The input module is detachably disposed in the accommodating space, and the input module includes a limiting portion. A switch structure includes a button and a limit member. The button is threaded through the hole. The limiting member is located in the main body and is fixed at one end of the button. The button has a locked position and a released position relative to the housing. When the input module is located in the accommodating space and the button is in the locked position, the limiting member and the limiting portion interfere with each other to fix the input module in the accommodating space. When the button is displaced from the locked position to the release position, the limiting member and the limiting portion are disengaged, so that the input module can be separated from the accommodating space.

根據上述本發明實施例所揭露的電子裝置,主機具有容置空間,輸入模組包含限位部,且開關結構包含限位件。因此,藉由限位部與限位件互相干涉,使輸入模組可穩固的固定於容置空間內,因而解決了先前技術中使用者必需分開攜帶輸入模組與主機所造成的不便。 According to the electronic device disclosed in the embodiment of the present invention, the host has a receiving space, the input module includes a limiting portion, and the switch structure includes a limiting member. Therefore, the input module can be stably fixed in the accommodating space by the interference between the limiting portion and the limiting member, thereby solving the inconvenience caused by the user in the prior art that the input module and the host must be separately carried.

Figure 5 is a front elevational view of the electronic device when the button is in the release position, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. The aforementioned button 181 The housing 121 has a locked position and a released position. In detail, when the input module 16 is located in the accommodating space 1213 and the button 181 is in the locked position (as shown in FIG. 3 ), the limiting member 183 and the limiting portion 161 interfere with each other. Thereby, the input module 16 is firmly fixed in the accommodating space 1213 of the housing 121. When the user wants to take the input module 16 out of the accommodating space 1213, it is only necessary to press the button 181 to shift the button 181 from the locked position to the released position. Thereby, the interference state of the limiting member 183 and the limiting portion 161 is released (as shown in FIG. 5), so that the input module 16 can be disengaged from the accommodating space 1213.

在本實施例及其他實施例中,主機12可更包含一彈性元件125,設置於容置空間1213內。當輸入模組16位於容置空間1213內,且按鈕181位於鎖合位置時,輸入模組16抵壓彈性元件125,但因限位件183與限位部161互相干涉,故輸入模組16仍穩固地固定於容置空間1213內。當使用者將按鈕181由鎖合位置位移至釋放位置時,因限位件183與限位部161的干涉狀態解除,彈性元件125在此同時可將輸入模組16由容置空間1213內向外推出,使輸入模組16離開容置空間1213。需注意的是,在本實施例中,主機12包含彈性元件125,但並非用以限定本發明。舉例來說,當限位件183與限位部161的干涉狀態解除時,使用者可將主機12傾斜一角度,利用地心引力使輸入模組16退出,而非利用彈性元件125將輸入模組16推出。 In this embodiment and other embodiments, the main body 12 further includes a resilient member 125 disposed in the accommodating space 1213. When the input module 16 is located in the accommodating space 1213 and the button 181 is in the locked position, the input module 16 presses the elastic member 125. However, since the limiting member 183 and the limiting portion 161 interfere with each other, the input module 16 It is still firmly fixed in the accommodating space 1213. When the user displaces the button 181 from the locked position to the release position, the interference state of the limiting member 183 and the limiting portion 161 is released, and the elastic member 125 can simultaneously press the input module 16 from the receiving space 1213 to the outside. It is pushed out to make the input module 16 leave the accommodating space 1213. It should be noted that in the present embodiment, the host 12 includes the elastic member 125, but is not intended to limit the present invention. For example, when the interference state of the limiting member 183 and the limiting portion 161 is released, the user can tilt the main body 12 by an angle and use the gravity to withdraw the input module 16 instead of using the elastic member 125 to input the input module. Group 16 was launched.

根據上述本發明實施例所揭露的電子裝置,主機 具有容置空間,輸入模組包含限位部,且開關結構包含限位件。因此,藉由限位部與限位件互相干涉,使輸入模組可穩固的固定於容置空間內,因而改善了先前技術中使用者必需分開攜帶輸入模組與主機所造成的不便。 According to the electronic device disclosed in the above embodiment of the present invention, the host The housing module has a receiving space, and the switch structure includes a limiting component. Therefore, the input module can be stably fixed in the accommodating space by the interference between the limiting portion and the limiting member, thereby improving the inconvenience caused by the user in the prior art that the input module and the host must be separately carried.

此外在本實施例及其他實施例中,主機更包含了彈性元件。限位部與限位件的干涉解除時,彈性元件可將輸入模組從容置空間內向外推出。藉此,使用者可輕易的將輸入模組抽出。 In addition, in this embodiment and other embodiments, the host further includes an elastic component. When the interference between the limiting portion and the limiting member is released, the elastic member can push the input module outward from the accommodating space. Thereby, the user can easily extract the input module.

雖然本發明以前述之較佳實施例揭露如上,然其並非用以限定本發明,任何熟習相像技藝者,在不脫離本發明之精神和範圍內,當可作些許之更動與潤飾,因此本發明之專利保護範圍須視本說明書所附之申請專利範圍所界定者為準。 While the present invention has been described above in terms of the preferred embodiments thereof, it is not intended to limit the invention, and the invention may be modified and modified without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. The patent protection scope of the invention is subject to the definition of the scope of the patent application attached to the specification.
