以下將參照相關圖式，說明依本發明較佳實施例之一種支撐組件及應用其之電子裝置，其中相同的元件將以相同的參照符號加以說明。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, a support assembly and an electronic device using the same according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein the same elements will be described with the same reference numerals.
圖3A為本發明較佳實施例之一種支撐組件30位於收容位置時的局部示意圖，圖3B為圖3A所示之支撐組件30位於展開位置時的局部示意圖。如圖3A及圖3B所示，在本實施例中，支撐組件30設置於一電子裝置的殼體6，惟未免過多元件造成混淆，在此係僅顯示殼體6為電子裝置之代表，至於電子裝置之其餘結構與元件均為本發明所屬技術領域具有通常知識者所熟知，不再贅述。3A is a partial schematic view showing a support assembly 30 in a receiving position according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3B is a partial schematic view of the support assembly 30 shown in FIG. 3A in a deployed position. As shown in FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B, in the embodiment, the support assembly 30 is disposed on the housing 6 of an electronic device, but the components are not obscured by excessive components. In this case, only the housing 6 is shown as a representative of the electronic device. The rest of the structure and components of the electronic device are well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described again.
支撐組件30包括至少一凸輪31以及一支架32。需注意的是，殼體6具有一第一側S1及相對第一側S1之一第二側(如圖4A中之標號S2，將於後詳述)，為避免混淆，圖3A及圖3B僅顯示為位於殼體6第一側S1的部份支撐組件30，故圖中並無完整顯示支架32的整體。具體而言，殼體6之第一側S1可為殼體6面對裝置內部之一側，例如裝置內部容置其他元件的一側，而殼體6之第二側S2則為與外界接觸之一側，即一般所稱殼體6之背面。The support assembly 30 includes at least one cam 31 and a bracket 32. It should be noted that the housing 6 has a first side S1 and a second side opposite to the first side S1 (as labeled S2 in FIG. 4A, which will be described in detail later). To avoid confusion, FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B Only the partial support assembly 30 located on the first side S1 of the housing 6 is shown, so that the entirety of the bracket 32 is not fully shown. Specifically, the first side S1 of the housing 6 may be one side of the housing 6 facing the interior of the device, such as the side of the device that houses other components, and the second side S2 of the housing 6 is in contact with the outside. One side, the back side of the housing 6 generally referred to.
在本實施例中，凸輪31為一具有不規則外型之機構，其可作為驅動外力帶動一被動件，使被動件進行往復滑動的作動軌道依據。於此，上述被動件即為支架32，且支撐組件30以具有二凸輪31為例，但本發明並不限凸輪31之設置數量。凸輪31設置於殼體6之第一側S1，而可與殼體6一體成型或獨立設置。凸輪31可具有一第一端311與一第二端312，且凸輪31具有軸心(未圖示)，而第一端311至軸心的距離與第二端312至軸心的距離不同。然而，依據本發明之凸輪31者，係以具有不對稱之外型，且利於支架32於上滑動為較佳，但並不限制特定的形狀。In the embodiment, the cam 31 is a mechanism having an irregular shape, which can be used as a driving member to drive a passive member to make the passive member reciprocate to slide. Here, the passive member is the bracket 32, and the support assembly 30 has the two cams 31 as an example, but the present invention does not limit the number of the cams 31. The cam 31 is disposed on the first side S1 of the housing 6 and can be integrally formed with the housing 6 or independently. The cam 31 can have a first end 311 and a second end 312, and the cam 31 has an axis (not shown), and the distance from the first end 311 to the axis is different from the distance from the second end 312 to the axis. However, the cam 31 according to the present invention preferably has an asymmetrical outer shape and facilitates the sliding of the bracket 32 thereon, but does not limit the specific shape.
支架32作為支撐裝置立於一平面上使用，其具有可沿凸輪31滑動的至少一導件321。支架32可相對於殼體6位於一收容位置(如圖3A所示)與一展開位置(如圖3B所示)。於此，支架32係以一圓柱體為例，當然也可使用其他形狀或附加其他功能之支架32。本實施例之導件321係以短桿結構為例，且設置方向係與凸輪31設置方向垂直，然而，在其他實施例中，導件321亦可具有適於滑動的其他構型，例如半圓柱型。The bracket 32 is used as a supporting device on a plane having at least one guide 321 slidable along the cam 31. The bracket 32 is positionable relative to the housing 6 in a stowed position (as shown in Figure 3A) and in a deployed position (as shown in Figure 3B). Here, the bracket 32 is exemplified by a cylinder, and of course, other shapes or brackets 32 with other functions may be used. The guide member 321 of the present embodiment is exemplified by a short rod structure, and the direction of the arrangement is perpendicular to the direction in which the cam 31 is disposed. However, in other embodiments, the guide member 321 may have other configurations suitable for sliding, such as a half. Cylindrical type.
為能於清楚說明支撐組件30及其各部件的作動，請先同時參考圖4A及圖4B所示，圖4A為圖3A之支撐組件30由殼體6第二側S2觀看時的示意圖，圖4B為圖3B之支撐組件30由殼體6第二側S2觀看時的示意圖，基於視角關係，故圖中僅顯示支架32而並無顯示凸輪31。其中，殼體6還可具有一容置部61，其設置於殼體之第二側S2。當支架32位於收容位置時，支架32係容置於容置部61。再者，殼體6可具有一開口62(如圖3B所示)，連通殼體6之第一側S1與第二側S2，且支架32之一端通過開口62與設置於第一側S1的凸輪31配合。In order to clearly illustrate the operation of the support assembly 30 and its components, please refer to FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B simultaneously. FIG. 4A is a schematic view of the support assembly 30 of FIG. 3A when viewed from the second side S2 of the housing 6. 4B is a schematic view of the support assembly 30 of FIG. 3B as viewed from the second side S2 of the housing 6. Based on the viewing angle relationship, only the bracket 32 is shown and the display cam 31 is not shown. The housing 6 can also have a receiving portion 61 disposed on the second side S2 of the housing. When the bracket 32 is in the accommodating position, the bracket 32 is received in the accommodating portion 61. Furthermore, the housing 6 can have an opening 62 (shown in FIG. 3B) that communicates with the first side S1 and the second side S2 of the housing 6, and one end of the bracket 32 passes through the opening 62 and is disposed on the first side S1. The cam 31 is mated.
復參考圖3A及圖3B所示，以說明支撐組件30的作動如下。當支架32由收容位置(如圖3A所示)移動至展開位置(如圖3B所示)時，支架32之導件321沿凸輪31之第一端311滑動至第二端312，且經由第二端312離開凸輪31，如路徑方向D1。Referring to Figures 3A and 3B, the operation of the support assembly 30 will be described as follows. When the bracket 32 is moved from the receiving position (as shown in FIG. 3A) to the deployed position (as shown in FIG. 3B), the guide 321 of the bracket 32 slides along the first end 311 of the cam 31 to the second end 312, and The two ends 312 exit the cam 31, such as the path direction D1.
詳而言之，支架32由收容位置移動至展開位置的過程中，支架32之導件321先於凸輪31之第一端311向第二端312滑動。其中，由於本實施例之支撐組件30可更包括至少一彈性件33，其例如但不限於為一彈簧或彈臂。彈性件33同樣設置於殼體6的第一側S1，而支架32可更具有一轉軸322，轉軸322抵接彈性件33。於本發明之一較佳實施例中，轉軸322位於彈性件33與殼體6之第一側S1間，此時彈性件33還具有固定支架32位置的功效，讓支架32之導件321不會隨意滑動。如圖3A所示，故當導件321在沿凸輪31之第一端311向第二端312滑動的期間，轉軸322因受限於與導件321間固定之長度關係，會隨著導件321的滑動而連帶向上方稍微滑動，從而持續地抵壓、施力於彈性件33，直至導件321通過凸輪31的第二端312。當支架32之導件321已從凸輪31之第二端312離開凸輪31後，轉軸322不再抵壓彈性件33，彈性件33的反饋力旋即釋放出來，一方面使使用者可便利地完成整個展開作動，另一方面透過反饋力的消失，使用者即可清楚得知支架32已位於展開位置。In detail, during the movement of the bracket 32 from the receiving position to the deployed position, the guide 321 of the bracket 32 slides toward the second end 312 before the first end 311 of the cam 31. The support assembly 30 of the present embodiment may further include at least one elastic member 33, such as but not limited to a spring or a spring arm. The elastic member 33 is also disposed on the first side S1 of the housing 6, and the bracket 32 can further have a rotating shaft 322, and the rotating shaft 322 abuts the elastic member 33. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the rotating shaft 322 is located between the elastic member 33 and the first side S1 of the housing 6. At this time, the elastic member 33 also has the function of fixing the position of the bracket 32, so that the guiding member 321 of the bracket 32 is not Will slide freely. As shown in FIG. 3A, when the guide member 321 slides along the first end 311 of the cam 31 toward the second end 312, the rotation shaft 322 is limited by the length relationship with the guide member 321 and will follow the guide member. The sliding of 321 causes the belt to slide slightly upward, thereby continuously pressing and applying force to the elastic member 33 until the guide member 321 passes the second end 312 of the cam 31. When the guide 321 of the bracket 32 has left the cam 31 from the second end 312 of the cam 31, the rotating shaft 322 no longer resists the elastic member 33, and the feedback force of the elastic member 33 is immediately released, which is convenient for the user to complete. The entire deployment is activated, and on the other hand, through the disappearance of the feedback force, the user can clearly know that the bracket 32 is in the deployed position.
請同樣參考圖3A及圖3B所示，在本實施例中，凸輪31更具有至少一定位部314，定位部314設置於第一端311與第二端312之間，用以定位導件321於凸輪31上的位置。本發明不限制定位部314的態樣，定位部314除可為圖3A或圖3B所示之凸部外，亦可為圖5A所示之另一實施態樣之凸輪31的凹部或凹槽314’，或其他可以使導件321卡固於定位部314之機構。並且，支架32與殼體6之間固定的角度θ可為0度至90度之間的任意角度，端視定位部314設置的位置而定，例如在圖3A中，定位部314係設置於靠近第一端311的位置，且為一凸點，因此當導件321卡固於定位部314與第一端311之間時，進而使支架32與殼體6之間維持0度，亦即支架32固定收納於容置部61。而例如在圖5A中，導件321可沿第一端311向第二端312滑動而卡固於定位部314’，此實施例中，定位部314’為凹部，而如圖5B所示使支架32由容置部61移開，與殼體6之間形成一角度θ1 ，於此，角度θ1 係以45度為例。又在其他實施態樣中，凸輪31之第一端311可設有多個定位部314，進一步提供使用者可調整多種支撐角度的功能，本發明在此不限於上述任一種實施方式。As shown in FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B , in the embodiment, the cam 31 further has at least one positioning portion 314 disposed between the first end 311 and the second end 312 for positioning the guiding member 321 . The position on the cam 31. The present invention does not limit the aspect of the positioning portion 314. The positioning portion 314 may be a concave portion or a groove of the cam 31 of another embodiment shown in FIG. 5A, in addition to the convex portion shown in FIG. 3A or FIG. 3B. 314', or other mechanism that can secure the guide 321 to the positioning portion 314. Moreover, the angle θ fixed between the bracket 32 and the housing 6 may be any angle between 0 degrees and 90 degrees, depending on the position where the positioning portion 314 is disposed. For example, in FIG. 3A, the positioning portion 314 is disposed at The position of the first end 311 is close to the first end 311, and is a bump. Therefore, when the guiding member 321 is locked between the positioning portion 314 and the first end 311, the bracket 32 and the housing 6 are maintained at 0 degrees, that is, The bracket 32 is fixedly received in the accommodating portion 61. For example, in FIG. 5A, the guiding member 321 can slide along the first end 311 toward the second end 312 to be engaged with the positioning portion 314'. In this embodiment, the positioning portion 314' is a concave portion, and as shown in FIG. 5B. The bracket 32 is removed by the accommodating portion 61 and forms an angle θ 1 with the casing 6. Here, the angle θ 1 is exemplified by 45 degrees. In other implementations, the first end 311 of the cam 31 can be provided with a plurality of positioning portions 314 to further provide a function for the user to adjust a plurality of support angles. The present invention is not limited to any of the above embodiments.
另外，請參考圖3A所示，在本實施例中，支撐組件30具有一擋板34，此實施例中，轉軸322可被固定於殼體6、凸輪31與擋板34之間，以避免在支架32相對殼體6移動於收容位置與展開位置之間時產生位移或脫離的狀況。In addition, referring to FIG. 3A, in the present embodiment, the support assembly 30 has a baffle 34. In this embodiment, the rotating shaft 322 can be fixed between the housing 6, the cam 31 and the baffle 34 to avoid A situation in which the bracket 32 is displaced or disengaged when it moves between the housing position and the deployed position with respect to the housing 6.
以下說明支架32由展開位置(如圖3B所示)收納至收容位置(如圖3A所示)時的作動。為使支架32之導件321重新回到凸輪31之第二端312的位置，如路徑方向D2，使用者需將支架32朝殼體6內(如圖4B之方向D4)推壓。詳細而言，使用者將支架32朝殼體6內推壓時，支架32之轉軸322抵壓彈性件33，而使其儲存彈力，直到支架32之導件321通過凸輪31之第二端312後，即可靠著彈性件33的反饋力作用，使用者在無須施力的狀況下，導件321就可沿著第二端312滑至第一端311，亦即使支架32相對於殼體6回到收容位置，如路徑方向D3。The operation of the bracket 32 when it is housed in the deployed position (as shown in Fig. 3B) to the storage position (as shown in Fig. 3A) will be described below. In order to return the guide 321 of the bracket 32 to the position of the second end 312 of the cam 31, such as the path direction D2, the user needs to push the bracket 32 toward the inside of the housing 6 (direction D4 in Fig. 4B). In detail, when the user pushes the bracket 32 into the casing 6, the rotating shaft 322 of the bracket 32 presses the elastic member 33 to store the elastic force until the guiding member 321 of the bracket 32 passes the second end 312 of the cam 31. After that, the feedback force of the elastic member 33 is reliably applied, and the guide member 321 can slide along the second end 312 to the first end 311 without the need of the force applied, even if the bracket 32 is opposite to the housing 6 Return to the containment position, such as the path direction D3.
此外，再次強調的是，上述支撐組件30中之凸輪31、彈性件33以及容置部61皆可與殼體6一體成型製成，且支架32之導件321及轉軸322也可與支架32一體成型製成。如此，組裝此支撐組件30於裝置之殼體6時，可僅須一個步驟就能完成組裝。In addition, it is emphasized that the cam 31, the elastic member 33 and the accommodating portion 61 of the support assembly 30 can be integrally formed with the housing 6, and the guide member 321 and the rotating shaft 322 of the bracket 32 can also be coupled with the bracket 32. Made in one piece. Thus, when the support assembly 30 is assembled to the housing 6 of the device, assembly can be completed in only one step.
另請參考圖4B及圖6所示，圖6為圖4B所示之支撐組件30以不同方向支撐時的示意圖。上述之支撐組件30，配合其設置於殼體6上的位置設計，使支架32可於兩個方向支撐，進而使設有支撐組件30之裝置同時具有橫擺(如圖4B所示)或直擺(如圖6所示)兩種使用方式，方便使用者選擇利用。Please refer to FIG. 4B and FIG. 6. FIG. 6 is a schematic view of the support assembly 30 shown in FIG. 4B supported in different directions. The above-mentioned support assembly 30 is designed in such a manner as to be disposed on the housing 6, so that the bracket 32 can be supported in two directions, so that the device provided with the support assembly 30 has a yaw (as shown in FIG. 4B) or straight. The pendulum (as shown in Figure 6) is used in two ways, which is convenient for the user to choose.
本發明亦揭露一電子裝置，其具有一殼體及一支撐組件，因此電子裝置應用之殼體及支撐組件的詳細結構及設置關係皆已於上述實施例及實施態樣中詳細說明，故於此不再贅述。The present invention also discloses an electronic device having a housing and a supporting component. Therefore, the detailed structure and arrangement relationship of the housing and the supporting component of the electronic device application have been described in detail in the above embodiments and embodiments. This will not be repeated here.
綜上所述，本發明之支撐組件及應用其之電子裝置係藉由一凸輪與一支架上之導件配合，使支架相對殼體轉動展開時，導件可沿著凸輪進行滑動，並利用凸輪的結構設計，讓導件可卡固於凸輪與殼體或其他固定元件之間，藉以達到支架的展開及收納目的。與習知相較，依據本發明免除額外收納或攜行支架的不便與可能遺失的問題，且適於僅利用兩個元件(與殼體一體成型之凸輪及支架)的組裝，即讓設有支撐組件之裝置同時具有橫擺或直擺兩種使用方式供使用者選擇，因此能簡化結構複雜度及組裝過程，達到一次組裝之功效，進而可降低生產成本，提高生產效率。此外，本發明之支撐組件及應用其之電子裝置還適於藉由設置一彈性件或一定位部，前者可提供彈性反饋力，有利使用者操作支架在收容位置與展開位置間進行切換，後者則可增強支撐組件位於收容位置或展開位置時的穩定度，還能使支架具有不同的支撐角度，以便使用者觀看或使用時自由調整。In summary, the support assembly of the present invention and the electronic device using the same are engaged by a cam and a guide on a bracket, so that when the bracket is rotated relative to the housing, the guide can slide along the cam and utilize The structural design of the cam allows the guide member to be clamped between the cam and the housing or other fixing member for the purpose of unfolding and storing the bracket. In accordance with the present invention, the inconvenience and possible loss of additional storage or carrying of the bracket are eliminated in accordance with the present invention, and is suitable for assembly using only two components (cams and brackets integrally formed with the housing), that is, The device supporting the component has two ways of yaw or straight swing for the user to select, so the structure complexity and the assembly process can be simplified, and the assembly effect can be achieved, thereby reducing the production cost and improving the production efficiency. In addition, the support assembly of the present invention and the electronic device using the same are further adapted to provide an elastic feedback force by providing an elastic member or a positioning portion, which is convenient for the user to operate the bracket to switch between the receiving position and the deployed position, the latter The stability of the support assembly when it is in the accommodating position or the unfolding position can be enhanced, and the brackets can have different supporting angles so that the user can freely adjust when viewing or using.
