Description

電子裝置Electronic device

本發明是有關於一種電子裝置，且特別是有關於一種具有可伸縮支撐腳墊結構的電子裝置。The present invention relates to an electronic device, and more particularly to an electronic device with a retractable supporting foot pad structure.

受惠於半導體元件與顯示器技術的進步，電子裝置不斷的朝向小型、多功能且攜帶方便的方向發展。可攜式電子裝置可採用折疊方式來減少收納面積，以達到電子產品輕薄短小的目的。以筆記型電腦為例，一般的筆記型電腦大多是由機體與顯示螢幕所組成，其中機體與顯示螢幕為相互樞接。使用者可藉由機體與顯示螢幕的相對轉動使筆記型電腦的主機與顯示螢幕閉闔以方便攜帶，待欲使用筆記型電腦時再將顯示螢幕展開以方便操作。筆記型電腦的底部設置有腳墊，以作為防滑與吸震之用而得以穩固地擺放在工作承載面上。Benefited from the advancement of semiconductor components and display technology, electronic devices continue to develop in the direction of miniaturization, multi-function, and portability. The portable electronic device can be folded to reduce the storage area, so as to achieve the purpose of lighter, thinner, shorter electronic product. Taking a notebook computer as an example, a general notebook computer is mostly composed of a body and a display screen, and the body and the display screen are pivotally connected to each other. The user can close the main unit and the display screen of the notebook computer by the relative rotation of the body and the display screen to facilitate carrying, and then expand the display screen to facilitate operation when the notebook computer is to be used. The bottom of the notebook computer is provided with foot pads for anti-skid and shock absorption, so that it can be firmly placed on the work bearing surface.

然而，由於筆記型電腦的重量越來越輕，所採用的鋁鎂合金製成的機殼於組裝時，殼體也較容易有變形的情形，而導致組裝之後的腳墊未能維持同一高度，此舉使其中之一腳墊無法與工作承載面接觸，容易造成筆記型電腦的晃動。此外，當使用者將筆記型電腦置放於不平的桌面或其他工作承載面上時，其中之一腳墊可能發生懸空而未與工作承載面接觸，這更將造成筆記型電腦的明顯晃動。However, as the weight of notebook computers is getting lighter and lighter, the case made of aluminum-magnesium alloy is more likely to be deformed when assembling, which causes the foot pads to fail to maintain the same height after assembly. This action prevents one of the foot pads from contacting the work bearing surface, which may easily cause the notebook computer to shake. In addition, when the user places the notebook computer on an uneven desktop or other work bearing surface, one of the foot pads may hang in the air without contacting the work bearing surface, which will cause the notebook computer to shake significantly.

有鑑於此，本發明提出一種電子裝置，其支撐腳墊結構可根據其接觸桌面的情況而適時伸長，以讓電子裝置穩固地置放於工作平台上。In view of this, the present invention proposes an electronic device whose supporting foot pad structure can be extended in time according to its contact with the desktop, so that the electronic device can be stably placed on the work platform.

本發明實施例提供一種電子裝置，其包括一機體、多個支撐腳墊結構，以及一控制器。上述支撐腳墊結構組裝於機體的底部，並各自包括接觸感測器。部份的支撐腳墊結構各自包括伸縮機構。控制器電性連接各支撐腳墊結構的接觸感測器。反應於支撐腳墊結構其中之一的接觸感測器偵測到未接觸一承載面，控制器驅動支撐腳墊結構其中之一的伸縮機構向下伸展直至支撐腳墊結構其中之一的接觸感測器偵測到接觸承載面。An embodiment of the present invention provides an electronic device, which includes a body, a plurality of supporting foot pad structures, and a controller. The above-mentioned supporting foot pad structure is assembled on the bottom of the body, and each includes a contact sensor. Part of the supporting foot pad structure each includes a telescopic mechanism. The controller is electrically connected to the contact sensors of each supporting foot pad structure. In response to the contact sensor of one of the supporting foot pad structures detecting that it does not touch a bearing surface, the controller drives the telescopic mechanism of one of the supporting foot pad structures to extend downward until the touch feeling of one of the supporting foot pad structures The detector detects contact with the bearing surface.

基於上述，於本發明的實施例中，每一個支撐腳墊結構包括接觸感測器，可用以偵測支撐腳墊結構是否抵接工作平台的承載面。當偵測到支撐腳墊結構其中之一未抵接工作平台的承載面時，控制器可驅動支撐腳墊結構其中之一的伸縮機構向下伸長，直至原本懸空的支撐腳墊結構可抵接工作平台的承載面。藉此，電子裝置能藉由支撐腳墊結構而穩固地置放於工作平台上而不會晃動。Based on the above, in the embodiment of the present invention, each supporting footrest structure includes a contact sensor, which can be used to detect whether the supporting footrest structure abuts against the bearing surface of the working platform. When it is detected that one of the supporting foot structures is not in contact with the load surface of the work platform, the controller can drive the telescopic mechanism of one of the supporting foot structures to extend downward until the originally suspended supporting foot structure can abut The bearing surface of the working platform. Thereby, the electronic device can be stably placed on the working platform without shaking by supporting the foot pad structure.

However, the present invention does not limit the type of the electronic device 100. In other unillustrated embodiments, the electronic device 100 may also be a combination of a smart speaker, a tablet computer and its docking station, and so on. The electronic device 100 is placed on the supporting surface S1 of the platform through the supporting foot pad structures 120_1 to 120_4 disposed on the bottom 111 of the body 110. In addition, four supporting foot pad structures 120_1, 120_2, 120_3, and 120_4 are taken as an example for description, but the present invention is not limited to this.

In this embodiment, the supporting foot pad structures 120_1 to 120_4 are assembled on the bottom 111 of the body 110, and each includes contact sensors 121_1, 121_2, 121_3, and 121_4. The contact sensors 121_1 to 121_4 are respectively used to sense whether the supporting foot pad structures 120_1 to 120_4 are in contact with the supporting surface S1. The contact sensors 121_1 to 121_4 may be proximity sensors (p-sensors), light sensors or other types of sensors, and the present invention is not limited thereto. In addition, the supporting foot pad structures 120_1 to 120_4 each include foot pads 123_1, 123_2, 123_3, and 123_4, and the contact sensors 121_1 to 121_4 are respectively disposed in the foot pads 123_1 to 123_4. The lower surface of the foot pads 123_1 to 123_4 is suitable for contact with the load-bearing surface S1, and the foot pads 123_1 to 123_4 can be made of rubber or other materials that have both flexibility and water resistance.

於本實施例中，至少部份的支撐腳墊結構120_1、120_2各自包括伸縮機構122_1、122_2。伸縮機構122_1、122_2可受控制器130的驅動而沿機體110之底部111的法線方向向下伸展或向上收縮。伸縮機構122_1、122_2的伸展表示伸縮機構122_1、122_2沿伸展方向而延長，伸縮機構122_1、122_2的收縮表示伸縮機構122_1、122_2沿收縮方向而縮短。In this embodiment, at least part of the supporting foot pad structures 120_1 and 120_2 respectively include telescopic mechanisms 122_1 and 122_2. The telescopic mechanisms 122_1 and 122_2 can be driven by the controller 130 to extend downward or contract upward along the normal direction of the bottom 111 of the body 110. The expansion of the expansion and contraction mechanisms 122_1 and 122_2 indicates that the expansion and contraction mechanisms 122_1 and 122_2 are extended in the expansion direction, and the contraction of the expansion and contraction mechanisms 122_1 and 122_2 indicates that the expansion and contraction mechanisms 122_1 and 122_2 are shortened in the contraction direction.

需說明的是，為了讓電子裝置100可藉由支撐腳墊結構120_1～120_4而穩固地置放於承載面S1上，於本實施例中，分別位於四個角落中任意相鄰的兩個角落上的至少兩個支撐腳墊結構需要包括伸縮機構。於圖2所示的範例中，支撐腳墊結構120_1、120_2包括伸縮機構122_1、122_2，且各自包括伸縮機構122_1、122_2的支撐腳墊結構其中之二（即支撐腳墊結構120_1、120_2）分別位於四個角落中任意相鄰的兩個角落上。在圖2所示支撐腳墊結構120_1、120_2包括伸縮機構122_1、122_2的範例中，支撐腳墊結構120_3、120_4可包括備用伸縮機構122_3、122_4。備用伸縮機構122_3、122_4被用於伸縮機構122_1、122_2發生故障時。然而，於另一實施例中，支撐腳墊結構120_3、120_4可不包括伸縮機構。It should be noted that, in order to allow the electronic device 100 to be stably placed on the supporting surface S1 by supporting the foot pad structures 120_1 to 120_4, in this embodiment, they are located at any two adjacent corners of the four corners. The at least two supporting foot pad structures above need to include a telescopic mechanism. In the example shown in FIG. 2, the supporting foot pad structures 120_1, 120_2 include telescoping mechanisms 122_1, 122_2, and each of the supporting foot pad structures including the telescoping mechanisms 122_1, 122_2 (ie, supporting foot pad structures 120_1, 120_2), respectively Located on any two adjacent corners among the four corners. In the example in which the supporting foot pad structures 120_1 and 120_2 include telescopic mechanisms 122_1 and 122_2 shown in FIG. 2, the supporting foot pad structures 120_3 and 120_4 may include spare telescopic mechanisms 122_3 and 122_4. The spare telescopic mechanisms 122_3 and 122_4 are used when the telescopic mechanisms 122_1 and 122_2 fail. However, in another embodiment, the supporting foot pad structures 120_3 and 120_4 may not include the telescopic mechanism.

於圖2所示的範例中，包括伸縮機構122_1、122_2的支撐腳墊結構120_1、120_2是設置於接近顯示螢幕115的兩個相鄰角落上，但本發明並不限制於此。於其他實施例中，可能是位於使用者左側的支撐腳墊結構120_1、120_3各自包括用以防止電子裝置100晃動的伸縮機構。或者，於另一其他實施例中，可能是位於使用者右側的支撐腳墊結構120_2、120_4各自包括用以防止電子裝置100晃動的伸縮機構。或者，於又一其他實施例中，可能是位於前側的支撐腳墊結構120_3、120_4各自包括用以防止電子裝置100晃動的伸縮機構。In the example shown in FIG. 2, the supporting foot pad structures 120_1 and 120_2 including the telescopic mechanisms 122_1 and 122_2 are arranged on two adjacent corners close to the display screen 115, but the present invention is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the supporting foot pad structures 120_1 and 120_3 on the left side of the user may each include a telescopic mechanism for preventing the electronic device 100 from shaking. Or, in another embodiment, the supporting foot pad structures 120_2 and 120_4 on the right side of the user may each include a telescopic mechanism for preventing the electronic device 100 from shaking. Or, in yet another embodiment, it may be that the supporting foot pad structures 120_3 and 120_4 on the front side each include a telescopic mechanism for preventing the electronic device 100 from shaking.

控制器130電性連接接觸感測器121_1～121_4，以根據接觸感測器121_1～121_4回報的訊號判斷支撐腳墊結構120_1～120_4是懸空狀態或抵接承載面S1。此外，控制器130電性連接伸縮機構122_1、122_2以及備用伸縮機構122_3、122_4，以依據支撐腳墊結構120_1～120_4的懸空狀態來控制伸縮機構122_1、122_2其中之一向下伸長。此外，當伸縮機構122_1、122_2發生故障時，控制器130可啟用備用伸縮機構122_3、122_4來取代。The controller 130 is electrically connected to the contact sensors 121_1 to 121_4 to determine whether the supporting foot pad structures 120_1 to 120_4 are in a suspended state or abutting the bearing surface S1 according to the signals reported by the contact sensors 121_1 to 121_4. In addition, the controller 130 is electrically connected to the expansion and contraction mechanisms 122_1 and 122_2 and the backup expansion and contraction mechanisms 122_3 and 122_4 to control one of the expansion and contraction mechanisms 122_1 and 122_2 to extend downward according to the suspended state of the supporting footrest structures 120_1 to 120_4. In addition, when the telescoping mechanism 122_1, 122_2 fails, the controller 130 can activate the backup telescoping mechanism 122_3, 122_4 to replace it.

在本實施例中，控制器130例如是中央處理單元（Central Processing Unit，CPU），或是其他可程式化之微處理器（Microprocessor）、數位訊號處理器（Digital Signal Processor，DSP）、可程式化控制器、特殊應用積體電路（Application Specific Integrated Circuits，ASIC）、可程式化邏輯裝置（Programmable Logic Device，PLD）或其他具備控制能力的硬體裝置，但本發明並不以此為限。In this embodiment, the controller 130 is, for example, a central processing unit (Central Processing Unit, CPU), or other programmable microprocessor (Microprocessor), digital signal processor (Digital Signal Processor, DSP), programmable Controllers, Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASIC), Programmable Logic Device (PLD) or other hardware devices with control capabilities, but the present invention is not limited to this.

於本實施例中，反應於支撐腳墊結構120_1～120_4其中之一的接觸感測器（即接觸感測器121_1～121_4其中之一）偵測到未接觸承載面S1，控制器130驅動支撐腳墊結構120_1～120_4其中之一的伸縮機構（即伸縮機構122_1～122_2其中之一）向下伸展直至支撐腳墊結構120_1～120_4其中之一的接觸感測器偵測到接觸承載面S1。In this embodiment, the contact sensor (that is, one of the contact sensors 121_1 to 121_4) of the supporting foot pad structure 120_1 to 120_4 detects that it does not touch the bearing surface S1, and the controller 130 drives and supports The telescopic mechanism of one of the foot pad structures 120_1 to 120_4 (that is, one of the telescopic mechanisms 122_1 to 122_2) extends downward until the contact sensor supporting one of the foot pad structures 120_1 to 120_4 detects the contact with the bearing surface S1.

以下將進一步說明控制器130如何依據各支撐腳墊結構120_1～120_4的接觸感測結果來控制支撐腳墊結構120_1～120_2的伸縮機構122_1～122_2。The following will further explain how the controller 130 controls the telescopic mechanisms 122_1 to 122_2 of the supporting foot pad structures 120_1 to 120_2 according to the contact sensing results of the supporting foot pad structures 120_1 to 120_4.

圖3是依照本發明一實施例的支撐腳墊結構的作動示意圖。請參照圖3，圖3為電子裝置100的底部示意圖。支撐腳墊結構120_1～120_4分別設置於電子裝置100的底部111的四個角落。支撐腳墊結構120_1、120_4分別位於對角線D1的兩端，而支撐腳墊結構120_2、120_3分別位於對角線D2的兩端。當電子裝置100發生晃動時，是以對角線D1或對角線D2為軸心而晃動。當電子裝置100以對角線D1為軸心而晃動時，控制器130需調整另一對角線D2上的支撐腳墊結構120_2的伸縮機構122_2的高度來阻止晃動。當電子裝置100以對角線D2為軸心而晃動時，控制器130需調整另一對角線D1上的支撐腳墊結構120_1的伸縮機構122_1的高度來阻止晃動。FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of the operation of the supporting foot pad structure according to an embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to FIG. 3, which is a bottom schematic diagram of the electronic device 100. The supporting foot pad structures 120_1 to 120_4 are respectively disposed at four corners of the bottom 111 of the electronic device 100. The supporting foot pad structures 120_1 and 120_4 are respectively located at the two ends of the diagonal line D1, and the supporting foot pad structures 120_2 and 120_3 are respectively located at the two ends of the diagonal line D2. When the electronic device 100 shakes, it shakes with the diagonal line D1 or the diagonal line D2 as the axis. When the electronic device 100 shakes with the diagonal line D1 as the axis, the controller 130 needs to adjust the height of the telescopic mechanism 122_2 of the supporting foot pad structure 120_2 on the other diagonal line D2 to prevent the shaking. When the electronic device 100 shakes with the diagonal line D2 as the axis, the controller 130 needs to adjust the height of the telescopic mechanism 122_1 of the supporting foot pad structure 120_1 on the other diagonal line D1 to prevent the shaking.

由此可知，當支撐腳墊結構120_1的伸縮機構122_1發生故障時，控制器140需啟用對角線另一端的備用伸縮機構122_4來取代。當支撐腳墊結構120_2的伸縮機構122_2發生故障時，控制器140需啟用對角線另一端的備用伸縮機構122_3來取代。具體而言，當伸縮機構122_1發生故障時，控制器130可依據支撐腳墊結構120_1～120_4的懸空狀態來控制備用伸縮機構122_4或伸縮機構122_2向下伸長，亦即伸縮機構122_4反應於伸縮機構122_1發生故障而啟用。相對的，當伸縮機構122_2發生故障時，控制器130可依據支撐腳墊結構120_1～120_4的懸空狀態來控制備用伸縮機構122_3或伸縮機構122_1向下伸長，亦即伸縮機構122_3反應於伸縮機構122_2發生故障而啟用。It can be seen that when the telescopic mechanism 122_1 supporting the foot pad structure 120_1 fails, the controller 140 needs to activate the standby telescopic mechanism 122_4 at the other end of the diagonal to replace it. When the telescopic mechanism 122_2 supporting the foot pad structure 120_2 fails, the controller 140 needs to activate the standby telescopic mechanism 122_3 at the other end of the diagonal to replace it. Specifically, when the telescopic mechanism 122_1 fails, the controller 130 can control the standby telescopic mechanism 122_4 or the telescopic mechanism 122_2 to extend downward according to the suspended state of the supporting foot pad structures 120_1 to 120_4, that is, the telescopic mechanism 122_4 responds to the telescopic mechanism 122_1 is activated due to a failure. In contrast, when the telescopic mechanism 122_2 fails, the controller 130 can control the standby telescopic mechanism 122_3 or the telescopic mechanism 122_1 to extend downward according to the suspended state of the supporting foot pad structures 120_1 to 120_4, that is, the telescopic mechanism 122_3 reacts to the telescopic mechanism 122_2 Activated due to a failure.

圖4是依照本發明一實施例的支撐腳墊結構的作動示意圖。請同時參照圖3與圖4，假設承載面S1不平而電子裝置100是沿對角線D2為軸心而晃動，當支撐腳墊結構120_1或120_4的接觸感測器121_1或121_4偵測到未接觸承載面S1時，控制器130將驅動支撐腳墊結構120_1的伸縮機構122_1向下伸長直至原本懸空的接觸感測器121_1或121_4偵測到接觸承載面S1。FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of the operation of the supporting foot pad structure according to an embodiment of the present invention. 3 and 4 at the same time, assuming that the bearing surface S1 is uneven and the electronic device 100 is swaying along the diagonal line D2 as the axis, when the contact sensor 121_1 or 121_4 supporting the foot pad structure 120_1 or 120_4 detects that it is not flat. When contacting the bearing surface S1, the controller 130 extends the telescopic mechanism 122_1 driving the supporting foot pad structure 120_1 downward until the originally suspended contact sensor 121_1 or 121_4 detects the contacting the bearing surface S1.

如圖3與圖4所示，有一種狀況是，假設電子裝置100是沿對角線D2為軸心而晃動，因此當支撐腳墊結構120_1（即第一支撐腳墊結構）的接觸感測器121_1偵測到未接觸承載面S1且支撐腳墊結構120_1包括伸縮結構122_1，控制器130驅動支撐腳墊結構120_1的伸縮機構122_1向下伸展直至支撐腳墊結構120_1的接觸感測器121_1偵測到接觸承載面S1。具體而言，支撐腳墊結構120_1可反應於自身的伸縮機構122_1的延伸而從懸空狀態轉換為抵接承載面S1，以防止因為支撐腳墊結構120_1懸空而導致電子裝置100晃動。As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, there is a situation where it is assumed that the electronic device 100 is swayed along the diagonal line D2 as the axis. Therefore, when the support foot pad structure 120_1 (ie, the first support foot pad structure) touches the sensing The device 121_1 detects that it does not touch the bearing surface S1 and the supporting footrest structure 120_1 includes a telescopic structure 122_1. The controller 130 drives the telescopic mechanism 122_1 of the supporting footrest structure 120_1 to extend downward until the contact sensor 121_1 of the supporting footrest structure 120_1 detects The contact bearing surface S1 is measured. Specifically, the supporting foot pad structure 120_1 can be converted from a suspended state to abutting the bearing surface S1 in response to the extension of its own telescopic mechanism 122_1, so as to prevent the electronic device 100 from shaking due to the supporting foot pad structure 120_1 being suspended.

有另一種狀況是，假設電子裝置100是沿對角線D2為軸心而晃動，因此當支撐腳墊結構120_4（即第二支撐腳墊結構）的接觸感測器121_4偵測到未接觸承載面S1且支撐腳墊結構120_4不包括伸縮結構，控制器130驅動支撐腳墊結構120_1（即第一支撐腳墊結構）的伸縮機構122_1向下伸展直至支撐腳墊結構120_4的接觸感測器121_4偵測到接觸承載面S1。於此，支撐腳墊結構120_1（即第一支撐腳墊結構）與支撐腳墊結構120_4（即第二支撐腳墊結構）位於四個角落中對角線D1兩端的兩個角落上。具體而言，支撐腳墊結構120_4可反應於支撐腳墊結構120_1的伸縮機構122_1的增高而向下移動，以從懸空狀態轉換為抵接承載面S1的狀態，以防止因為支撐腳墊結構120_4懸空而導致電子裝置100晃動。Another situation is that it is assumed that the electronic device 100 is swaying along the diagonal line D2 as the axis, so when the contact sensor 121_4 supporting the footrest structure 120_4 (ie, the second supporting footrest structure) detects that the load is not in contact with the load Surface S1 and the supporting foot pad structure 120_4 does not include a telescopic structure, the controller 130 drives the telescopic mechanism 122_1 of the supporting foot pad structure 120_1 (that is, the first supporting foot pad structure) to extend downward until the contact sensor 121_4 of the supporting foot pad structure 120_4 A contact with the bearing surface S1 is detected. Here, the supporting foot pad structure 120_1 (ie, the first supporting foot pad structure) and the supporting foot pad structure 120_4 (ie, the second supporting foot pad structure) are located at two corners at both ends of the diagonal line D1 among the four corners. Specifically, the supporting foot pad structure 120_4 can move downward in response to the increase of the telescopic mechanism 122_1 of the supporting foot pad structure 120_1, so as to switch from the suspended state to the state of abutting the bearing surface S1, so as to prevent the supporting foot pad structure 120_4 Hanging in the air causes the electronic device 100 to shake.

以下列舉一實施例說明伸縮機構的實施範例。圖5是依照本發明一實施例的伸縮機構的剖面示意圖。請參照圖5，伸縮機構（例如是伸縮機構122_1、122_2或備用伸縮機構122_3、122_4）可包括固定導管51、螺桿53，以及動力裝置54。固定導管51適於固定地組裝於機體110的底部111，固定導管51的內表面具有螺槽52a。螺桿53的螺紋52b與固定導管51的螺槽52a螺合，而可旋轉地穿設於固定導管51之中。於本實施例中，腳墊G1設置於螺桿53的一端，且接觸感測器P1（例如是121_1～121_4）設置於腳墊G1內。應理解的，腳墊G1可為圖1A所示的腳墊123_1～123_4，而接觸感測器P1可為圖1A所示的接觸感測器121_1～121_4，其相關說明可一併參考前述實施例的描述。An embodiment is listed below to illustrate an implementation example of the telescopic mechanism. Fig. 5 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a telescopic mechanism according to an embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to FIG. 5, the telescopic mechanism (for example, the telescopic mechanisms 122_1 and 122_2 or the backup telescopic mechanisms 122_3 and 122_4) may include a fixed pipe 51, a screw 53, and a power device 54. The fixed pipe 51 is adapted to be fixedly assembled on the bottom 111 of the body 110, and the inner surface of the fixed pipe 51 has a screw groove 52a. The thread 52b of the screw 53 is threadedly engaged with the screw groove 52a of the fixed pipe 51 and rotatably penetrates the fixed pipe 51. In this embodiment, the foot pad G1 is disposed at one end of the screw 53, and the touch sensor P1 (for example, 121_1 to 121_4) is disposed in the foot pad G1. It should be understood that the foot pad G1 may be the foot pads 123_1 to 123_4 shown in FIG. 1A, and the touch sensor P1 may be the touch sensor 121_1 to 121_4 shown in FIG. The description of the case.

於本實施例中，動力裝置54例如為受控於控制器130的一微型步進馬達或其他合適的元件，並且設置於螺桿53內而驅動螺桿53沿一軸線Ax1旋轉，而帶動螺桿53相對於固定導管51沿底部111的法線方向上下移動。具體而言，當動力裝置54驅動螺桿53沿一軸線Ax1而以第一時鐘方向旋轉時，螺桿53可向下伸出固定導管51而使伸縮機構的高度增加。當動力裝置54驅動螺桿53沿一軸線Ax1而以第二時鐘方向旋轉時，螺桿53可向上縮回固定導管51而使伸縮機構的高度減少。腳墊G1內的接觸感測器P1可用以偵測支撐腳墊結構是否抵接承載面。進一步而言，於本實施例中，控制器130可依據各個支撐腳墊結構的懸空狀態來驅動動力裝置54帶動螺桿53旋轉，而使對應的伸縮機構伸長或收縮。In this embodiment, the power device 54 is, for example, a micro stepping motor or other suitable components controlled by the controller 130, and is arranged in the screw 53 to drive the screw 53 to rotate along an axis Ax1, and to drive the screw 53 to rotate relative to each other. The fixed pipe 51 moves up and down along the normal direction of the bottom 111. Specifically, when the power device 54 drives the screw 53 to rotate in the first clock direction along an axis Ax1, the screw 53 can extend downward from the fixed duct 51 to increase the height of the telescopic mechanism. When the power device 54 drives the screw 53 to rotate in the second clock direction along an axis Ax1, the screw 53 can retract upward to the fixed duct 51 to reduce the height of the telescopic mechanism. The contact sensor P1 in the foot pad G1 can be used to detect whether the supporting foot pad structure is in contact with the bearing surface. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the controller 130 can drive the power device 54 to drive the screw 53 to rotate according to the suspended state of each supporting footrest structure, so that the corresponding telescopic mechanism can be extended or contracted.

圖6是依照本發明一實施例的裝置穩定方法的流程圖。請參照圖6，本實施例的方式適用於上述實施例中的電子裝置100，以下即搭配電子裝置100中的各項元件說明本實施例防止電子裝置晃動的詳細步驟。Fig. 6 is a flowchart of a device stabilization method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to FIG. 6, the method of this embodiment is applicable to the electronic device 100 in the above-mentioned embodiment. The detailed steps for preventing the shaking of the electronic device in this embodiment will be described below in conjunction with various components in the electronic device 100.

於步驟S601，接觸感測器121_1～121_4偵測各個支撐腳墊結構120_1～120_4是否接觸承載面S1。於步驟S602，根據接觸感測器121_1～121_4的感測結果，控制器130分別判斷各個支撐腳墊結構120_1～120_4是否懸空。In step S601, the touch sensors 121_1 to 121_4 detect whether each supporting foot pad structure 120_1 to 120_4 is in contact with the supporting surface S1. In step S602, according to the sensing results of the touch sensors 121_1 to 121_4, the controller 130 respectively determines whether each supporting foot pad structure 120_1 to 120_4 is suspended.

若支撐腳墊結構120_1～120_4皆未懸空（步驟S602判斷為否），代表電子裝置100並未有晃動的現象，結束流程。若支撐腳墊結構120_1～120_4其中之一懸空（步驟S602判斷為是），於步驟S603，控制器130驅動各伸縮機構122_1、122_2向上收縮至預設狀態。接著，於步驟S604，接觸感測器121_1～121_4偵測各個支撐腳墊結構120_1～120_4是否接觸承載面S1。於步驟S605，根據接觸感測器121_1～121_4的感測結果，控制器130再次分別判斷各個支撐腳墊結構120_1～120_4是否懸空。也就是說，於本實施例中，反應於支撐腳墊結構120_1～120_4其中之一的接觸感測器（亦即接觸感測器121_1～121_4其中之一）偵測到未接觸承載面S1，控制器130先驅動各伸縮機構122_1、122_2向上收縮至預設狀態，並再次判斷支撐腳墊結構120_1～120_4各自的接觸感測器121_1～121_4是否皆接觸承載面s1。If none of the supporting foot pad structures 120_1 to 120_4 is suspended (No in step S602), it means that the electronic device 100 does not shake, and the process ends. If one of the supporting foot pad structures 120_1 to 120_4 is suspended (Yes in step S602), in step S603, the controller 130 drives each telescopic mechanism 122_1, 122_2 to retract upward to a preset state. Next, in step S604, the touch sensors 121_1 to 121_4 detect whether each supporting foot pad structure 120_1 to 120_4 is in contact with the supporting surface S1. In step S605, according to the sensing results of the touch sensors 121_1 to 121_4, the controller 130 again determines whether each supporting foot pad structure 120_1 to 120_4 is suspended. That is to say, in this embodiment, the contact sensor (that is, one of the contact sensors 121_1 to 121_4) that supports the foot pad structure 120_1 to 120_4 detects that it does not touch the bearing surface S1, The controller 130 first drives the telescopic mechanisms 122_1 and 122_2 to shrink upward to a preset state, and again determines whether the contact sensors 121_1 to 121_4 of the supporting foot pad structures 120_1 to 120_4 are all in contact with the bearing surface s1.

若支撐腳墊結構120_1～120_4皆未懸空（步驟S605判斷為否），代表電子裝置100並未有晃動的現象，結束流程。在各伸縮機構122_1、122_2向上收縮至預設狀態的其況下，若支撐腳墊結構120_1～120_4其中之一懸空（步驟S605判斷為是），於步驟S606，控制器130驅動支撐腳墊結構120_1～120_2其中之一的伸縮機構（亦即伸縮機構122_1、122_2其中之一）向下伸展直至支撐腳墊結構120_1～120_4其中之一的接觸感測器偵測到接觸承載面S1。If none of the supporting foot pad structures 120_1 to 120_4 is suspended (No in step S605), it means that the electronic device 100 does not shake, and the process ends. Under the condition that each telescopic mechanism 122_1, 122_2 is retracted upward to the preset state, if one of the supporting foot pad structures 120_1 to 120_4 is suspended (Yes in step S605), in step S606, the controller 130 drives the supporting foot pad structure The telescopic mechanism of one of 120_1 to 120_2 (that is, one of the telescopic mechanisms 122_1 and 122_2) extends downward until the contact sensor of one of the supporting foot pad structures 120_1 to 120_4 detects the contact with the bearing surface S1.

綜上所述，於本發明實施例中，電子裝置的各個支撐腳墊結構具有接觸感測器，以偵測是否有支撐腳墊結構懸空而導致電子裝置在使用過程中發生晃動。當任一支撐腳墊結構處於懸空狀態時，控制器可驅動對應的支撐腳墊結構的伸縮機構向下延伸直至每一支撐腳墊結構都接觸承載面，以讓電子裝置能藉由支撐腳墊結構而穩固地置放於工作平台上。藉此，當承載面不平或電子裝置機殼有輕微變形的情況時，使用者亦不需要額外設法調整電子裝置的平衡，電子裝置就能自動地調整平衡，可提供一種更佳的使用體驗。To sum up, in the embodiment of the present invention, each supporting foot structure of the electronic device has a contact sensor to detect whether the supporting foot structure is suspended and causing the electronic device to shake during use. When any supporting foot pad structure is in a suspended state, the controller can drive the corresponding supporting foot pad structure's telescopic mechanism to extend downward until each supporting foot pad structure touches the bearing surface, so that the electronic device can support the foot pad The structure is firmly placed on the working platform. In this way, when the bearing surface is uneven or the housing of the electronic device is slightly deformed, the user does not need to try to adjust the balance of the electronic device. The electronic device can automatically adjust the balance, which can provide a better user experience.
