於一實施例中，前述滑蓋具有一凹槽，且緩衝單元包括一滾輪，設置於本體上。當滑蓋由一關閉位置相對於本體滑動至一臨界位置時，前述滾輪與凹槽表面接觸。In one embodiment, the sliding cover has a recess, and the buffer unit includes a roller disposed on the body. The roller is in contact with the surface of the groove when the slider is slid to a critical position relative to the body from a closed position.

於一實施例中，前述滑蓋更具有一第一滑動面，且本體具有一第二滑動面，對應於第一滑動面。其中，前述凹槽形成於第一滑動面上，且滾輪凸出於第二滑動面。In an embodiment, the sliding cover further has a first sliding surface, and the body has a second sliding surface corresponding to the first sliding surface.

為使本發明之上述目的、特徵、和優點能更明顯易懂，下文特舉較佳實施例並配合所附圖式做詳細說明。The above described objects, features, and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the description and appended claims

請一併參閱第2~4圖，本發明一實施例之具有緩衝式滑蓋功能的電子裝置例如為一滑蓋式行動電話，其主要係由一滑蓋10、一本體20以及一緩衝單元D所組成，前述滑蓋10可相對本體20於一關閉位置(第2圖)以及一開啟位置(第4圖)之間滑動，以方便使用者操作該電子裝置。Referring to FIG. 2 to FIG. 4 , an electronic device having a buffer slide function according to an embodiment of the present invention is, for example, a slide type mobile phone, which mainly comprises a slide cover 10 , a body 20 and a buffer unit. The slider 10 is slidable relative to the body 20 between a closed position (Fig. 2) and an open position (Fig. 4) to facilitate the user to operate the electronic device.

如第2圖所示，在前述滑蓋10上設有一長條形導槽S，前述緩衝單元D則例如為一液壓緩衝器(hydraulic buffer)、油壓緩衝器(oil buffer)或一氣壓緩衝器(air buffer)，其主要包含一可動件D1以及一套筒D2。於本實施例之緩衝單元D係容置於導槽S內，其中緩衝單元D之套筒D2與本體20固接，可動件D1則活動地插設於套筒D2內。As shown in FIG. 2, the slide cover 10 is provided with an elongated guide groove S, and the buffer unit D is, for example, a hydraulic buffer, an oil buffer or a pneumatic buffer. An air buffer mainly includes a movable member D1 and a sleeve D2. The buffer unit D of the present embodiment is housed in the guide slot S, wherein the sleeve D2 of the buffer unit D is fixedly connected to the body 20, and the movable member D1 is movably inserted into the sleeve D2.

當使用者欲操作該電子裝置時，可將滑蓋10相對於本體20由前述關閉位置(第2圖)沿一第一方向滑動，其中當滑蓋10運動至一臨界位置時(第3圖)，導槽S之一抵接端S1會與可動件D1接觸，此時滑蓋10由於受到緩衝單元D所產生之阻力作用而減緩其運動速度，其中該阻力之方向係相反於該第一方向。When the user wants to operate the electronic device, the slide cover 10 can be slid relative to the body 20 in the first direction from the closed position (Fig. 2), wherein when the slide cover 10 is moved to a critical position (Fig. 3) ), one of the abutment ends S1 of the guide groove S is in contact with the movable member D1, and the slide cover 10 is slowed down by the resistance generated by the buffer unit D, wherein the direction of the resistance is opposite to the first direction.

接著請一併參閱第3、4圖，在滑蓋10由前述臨界位置(第3圖)滑動至開啟位置(第4圖)的過程中，可動件D1會持續受到抵接端S1的擠壓而漸漸縮入套筒D2內，此時可動件D1由於受到套桶內D2的液體、氣體或潤滑油的緩衝作用影響而產生一阻尼效果，故可逐漸減緩滑蓋10的運 動速度，以避免其直接滑動至開啟位置時產生碰撞感。Next, please refer to Figures 3 and 4 together. During the sliding of the slider 10 from the aforementioned critical position (Fig. 3) to the open position (Fig. 4), the movable member D1 is continuously pressed by the abutting end S1. And gradually shrink into the sleeve D2, at this time, the movable member D1 is affected by the buffering action of the liquid, gas or lubricating oil in the D2 in the sleeve to generate a damping effect, so that the operation of the sliding cover 10 can be gradually slowed down. Move the speed to avoid a collision when it slides directly to the open position.

再請參閱第5A、5B圖，本發明另一實施例之滑蓋式電子裝置主要係由一滑蓋10、一本體20、一阻尼器R1以及一滾輪R2所組成。如第5B圖所示，在前述滾輪R2中央設有一轉軸C，該轉軸C係插設於阻尼器R1內，並可於該阻尼器R1內旋轉，其中前述阻尼器R1內部例如可填入液體或潤滑油，使得阻尼器R1與滾輪R2組成一緩衝單元，用以減緩滑蓋10的運動速度，進而提升使用上的舒適性。Referring to FIGS. 5A and 5B, the slide type electronic device according to another embodiment of the present invention mainly comprises a slide cover 10, a body 20, a damper R1 and a roller R2. As shown in FIG. 5B, a rotating shaft C is disposed in the center of the roller R2, and the rotating shaft C is inserted into the damper R1 and can be rotated in the damper R1, wherein the inside of the damper R1 can be filled with liquid, for example. Or lubricating oil, so that the damper R1 and the roller R2 form a buffer unit to slow the movement speed of the sliding cover 10, thereby improving the comfort in use.

應了解的是，在滑蓋10下方具有一第一滑動面11，其係對應且大致平行於本體20上方之第二滑動面21(如第5B圖所示)，其中滾輪R2凸出於第二滑動面21，此外在第一滑動面11上則設有與滾輪R2相對應之凹槽110。前述凹槽110主要包含一第一段部111以及一第二段部112，其中第一段部111與第二滑動面21之距離大於第二段部112與第二滑動面21之距離；換言之，第一段部111之深度係大於第二段部112之深度。It should be understood that there is a first sliding surface 11 below the sliding cover 10, which corresponds to and is substantially parallel to the second sliding surface 21 above the body 20 (as shown in FIG. 5B), wherein the roller R2 protrudes from the The second sliding surface 21 is further provided with a recess 110 corresponding to the roller R2 on the first sliding surface 11. The groove 110 mainly includes a first segment portion 111 and a second segment portion 112, wherein the distance between the first segment portion 111 and the second sliding surface 21 is greater than the distance between the second segment portion 112 and the second sliding surface 21; in other words The depth of the first segment 111 is greater than the depth of the second segment 112.

當欲使用該電子裝置時，可將滑蓋10相對於本體20由關閉位置(第5A圖)沿第一方向滑動，其中當滑蓋10運動至一臨界位置時(如第6A圖所示)，滾輪R2相對於滑蓋10之運動，其會由凹槽110的第一段部111滑入第二段部112，並與第二段部112的表面接觸(如第6B圖所示)，此時滑蓋10由於和滾輪R2產生摩擦而產生適當之阻力，固可減緩滑蓋10的運動速度。需特別說明的是，在滑蓋10 相對於本體20由關閉位置(第5A、5B圖)運動至臨界位置(第6A、6B圖)的過程中(意即第一段部111行程內)，滾輪R2並未與凹槽110表面接觸。When the electronic device is to be used, the slider 10 can be slid in the first direction from the closed position (Fig. 5A) with respect to the body 20, wherein when the slider 10 is moved to a critical position (as shown in Fig. 6A) The movement of the roller R2 relative to the slider 10 is slid into the second segment 112 by the first segment 111 of the recess 110 and is in contact with the surface of the second segment 112 (as shown in FIG. 6B). At this time, the slider 10 generates appropriate resistance due to friction with the roller R2, which can slow down the moving speed of the slider 10. Special mention is made on the slide 10 The roller R2 is not in contact with the surface of the groove 110 with respect to the movement of the body 20 from the closed position (Fig. 5A, 5B) to the critical position (Fig. 6A, 6B) (i.e., within the stroke of the first segment 111). .

接著請一併參閱第7A、7B圖，在滑蓋10由前述臨界位置(第6A圖)滑動至開啟位置(第7A圖)的過程中，滑蓋10由於持續受到滾輪R2與第二段部112表面接觸的阻力影響，固可逐漸減緩滑蓋10的運動速度，直到滾輪R2碰觸到第二段部112末端而使滑蓋10靜止於前述開啟位置(如第7B圖所示)，藉此可避免滑蓋11直接運動至開啟位置時產生碰撞感而造成操作上的不舒適。Next, please refer to FIGS. 7A and 7B together. During the sliding of the slide cover 10 from the aforementioned critical position (FIG. 6A) to the open position (FIG. 7A), the slide cover 10 is continuously subjected to the roller R2 and the second section. The resistance of the surface contact 112 can gradually slow down the movement speed of the slider 10 until the roller R2 touches the end of the second section 112 to make the slider 10 rest in the aforementioned open position (as shown in Fig. 7B). This can avoid the collision feeling when the slide cover 11 is directly moved to the open position, resulting in operational discomfort.

於本實施例中，由於滾輪R2另透過樞軸C與阻尼器R1連接，其中阻尼器R1內可填充液體或潤滑油而產生一阻尼效果，藉此可輔助減緩滑蓋10的運動速度以提升操作上的舒適性；然而，亦可僅透過滾輪R2與第二段部112之間的摩擦力來減緩滑蓋10的速度，同樣可達成前述功效。In this embodiment, since the roller R2 is further connected to the damper R1 through the pivot C, the damper R1 can be filled with liquid or lubricating oil to generate a damping effect, thereby assisting in slowing down the movement speed of the sliding cover 10 to improve Operational comfort; however, the speed of the slider 10 can be slowed only by the friction between the roller R2 and the second section 112, and the aforementioned effects can be achieved.

綜上所述，本發明提供一種滑蓋式電子裝置，其中透過一緩衝單元於滑蓋運動的過程中產生適當之阻力，藉此可減緩滑蓋之運動速度，以避免滑蓋滑動至開啟狀態時產生碰撞感，進而可大幅提升使用上的舒適性。In summary, the present invention provides a slide type electronic device in which a proper resistance is generated through a buffer unit during the movement of the slider, thereby slowing the movement speed of the slider to prevent the slider from sliding to the open state. This creates a sense of collision, which in turn greatly enhances the comfort of use.

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。本發明所屬技術領域中具有通常知識者，在不脫離本發明之精神和範圍內，當可做些許之更動與潤飾。因此本發明之保護範圍當視後附之申請專利範圍 所界定者為準。While the invention has been described above in terms of the preferred embodiments thereof, it is not intended to limit the invention. Those skilled in the art having the ordinary skill in the art can make some modifications and refinements without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is attached to the scope of the patent application. The definition is final.
