請參閱第1圖至第4圖，第1圖為本發明實施例之電控裝置A之示意圖，第2圖為本發明實施例之鍵盤10之部分結構示意圖，第3圖與第4圖分別為本發明實施例之樞軸機構12在不同視角之元件***圖。電控裝置A具有可相互開闔的第一殼體B與第二殼體C。樞軸機構12設置在電控裝置A的第一殼體B與第二殼體C之間。第一殼體B具有顯示螢幕，第二殼體C具有鍵盤10，且鍵盤10設置複數個升降式按鍵14。第一殼體B在旋轉過程中，會透過樞軸機構12切換升降式按鍵14的應用狀態。例如：第一殼體B相對於第二殼體C開啟時，樞軸機構12升高 按鍵14，使其浮出第二殼體C便於使用者按壓操作；如第一殼體B相對第二殼體C閉合，樞軸機構12降低按鍵14，讓電控裝置A符合超薄型的外觀需求。 Please refer to FIG. 1 to FIG. 4 , FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an electronic control device A according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a partial structural diagram of a keyboard 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 respectively It is an exploded view of the components of the pivot mechanism 12 at different viewing angles according to an embodiment of the present invention. The electric control device A has a first housing B and a second housing C which are openable to each other. The pivot mechanism 12 is disposed between the first housing B and the second housing C of the electronic control unit A. The first housing B has a display screen, the second housing C has a keyboard 10, and the keyboard 10 is provided with a plurality of lift buttons 14. During the rotation of the first housing B, the application state of the lift button 14 is switched through the pivot mechanism 12. For example, when the first housing B is opened relative to the second housing C, the pivot mechanism 12 is raised The button 14 is caused to float out of the second casing C for the user to press the operation; if the first casing B is closed relative to the second casing C, the pivot mechanism 12 lowers the button 14 to make the electronic control device A conform to the ultra-thin type Appearance needs.
樞軸機構12可包含第一轉軸16、橋接件18、第一連接件20、連桿組22、支撐件24、止擋件26、第一彈性元件28、第二轉軸30以及第二連接件32。橋接件18可樞接於第一轉軸16與第二轉軸30，且橋接件18還具有第一凸輪34。第一連接件20裝設在第二殼體C，連桿組22可轉動地設置於第一連接件20上、並且連結升降式按鍵14。第二連接件32設置於第二轉軸30且裝在第一殼體B。支撐件24可具有本體36、滑梢38與第二凸輪40。本體36滑動設置於第一轉軸16。滑梢38連結連桿組22，並且活動設置在第一連接件20之滑槽42內。第二凸輪40設置於本體36，用來滑動制動第一凸輪34。 The pivot mechanism 12 can include a first rotating shaft 16 , a bridge 18 , a first connecting member 20 , a link set 22 , a support member 24 , a stopper 26 , a first elastic member 28 , a second rotating shaft 30 , and a second connecting member 32. The bridge member 18 is pivotally connected to the first rotating shaft 16 and the second rotating shaft 30, and the bridge member 18 further has a first cam 34. The first connecting member 20 is mounted on the second housing C. The connecting rod set 22 is rotatably disposed on the first connecting member 20 and is coupled to the lift button 14. The second connecting member 32 is disposed on the second rotating shaft 30 and is mounted on the first housing B. The support member 24 can have a body 36, a slider 38 and a second cam 40. The body 36 is slidably disposed on the first rotating shaft 16 . The slider 38 is coupled to the link set 22 and is movably disposed within the chute 42 of the first connector 20. The second cam 40 is disposed on the body 36 for slidingly braking the first cam 34.
第二凸輪40可包含相鄰接的突出部44以及平坦部46。如第3圖與第4圖所示，突出部44和平坦部46圍繞設置在本體36的側緣，使得第一凸輪34能順暢地從突出部44滑動至平坦部46、或是從平坦部46滑向突出部44。突出部44與平坦部46的比例關係會影響升降式按鍵14在第一殼體B相對於第二殼體C展開時的抬昇過程。舉例來說，平坦部46之寬度較佳可為突出部44之寬度的四倍，其中寬度係可表示為突出部44與平坦部46沿著本體36之環型結構的軌跡。在第一殼體B相對第二殼體C的翻轉過程中，升降式按鍵14只有四分之一的時間會受到樞軸機構12之驅動而抬昇。突出部44和平坦部46的寬度比例不限於前揭態樣所述，端視設計需求而定。 The second cam 40 can include adjacent protrusions 44 and flats 46. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the protruding portion 44 and the flat portion 46 are disposed around the side edges of the body 36 such that the first cam 34 can smoothly slide from the protruding portion 44 to the flat portion 46 or from the flat portion. 46 slides toward the projection 44. The proportional relationship of the projection 44 to the flat portion 46 affects the lifting process of the lift button 14 when the first housing B is unfolded relative to the second housing C. For example, the width of the flat portion 46 may preferably be four times the width of the protrusion 44, wherein the width may be expressed as a trajectory of the annular portion 46 of the protrusion 44 and the flat portion 46 along the body 36. During the inversion of the first housing B relative to the second housing C, only one quarter of the lift button 14 is lifted by the pivot mechanism 12. The width ratio of the projection 44 and the flat portion 46 is not limited to that described in the foregoing, depending on the design requirements.
再者，止擋件26設置在第一轉軸16相對於橋接件18的一端。第一彈性元件28位於止擋件26與支撐件24。第一彈性元件28之兩端分別止抵止擋件26 和支撐件24；當支撐件24受到第一凸輪34的推擠而沿著第一轉軸16往止擋件26移動時，第一彈性元件28壓縮以儲存彈性恢復力。第一凸輪34不再施壓第二凸輪40之突出部44時，第一彈性元件28的彈性恢復力可驅動支撐件24快速回復到初始位置。 Further, the stopper 26 is disposed at one end of the first rotating shaft 16 with respect to the bridge 18. The first resilient element 28 is located between the stop 26 and the support 24. Both ends of the first elastic member 28 respectively abut against the stopper 26 And the support member 24; when the support member 24 is pushed by the first cam 34 to move along the first shaft 16 toward the stopper member 26, the first elastic member 28 is compressed to store the elastic restoring force. When the first cam 34 no longer presses the projection 44 of the second cam 40, the elastic restoring force of the first elastic member 28 can drive the support member 24 to quickly return to the initial position.
連桿組22可包含第一連桿48以及第二連桿50。第一連桿48的第一端52連接於滑梢38，第二端54經由第二連桿50連接升降式按鍵14。第一連桿48的轉折端56位於第一端52與第二端54之間，用以樞接第一連接件20。因此，滑梢38在滑槽42內移動，會牽引第一連桿48以轉折端56為軸心旋轉，進而帶動第二連桿50之位移。在本發明較佳實施例中，連桿組22還可進一步包含第三連桿58。第一連桿48的第二端54係通過第三連桿58連結到第二連桿50。藉由第三連桿58之設計，第二連桿50可隨著第一連桿48的旋轉而沿著第一方向D1來回線性移動。 The linkage 22 can include a first link 48 and a second link 50. The first end 52 of the first link 48 is coupled to the slider 38 and the second end 54 is coupled to the lift button 14 via the second link 50. The turning end 56 of the first link 48 is located between the first end 52 and the second end 54 for pivoting the first connecting member 20. Therefore, the slider 38 moves in the chute 42 and pulls the first link 48 to rotate with the turning end 56 as an axis, thereby driving the displacement of the second link 50. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, link set 22 may further include a third link 58. The second end 54 of the first link 48 is coupled to the second link 50 by a third link 58. By the design of the third link 58, the second link 50 can linearly move back and forth along the first direction D1 as the first link 48 rotates.
第二彈性元件60為選擇性配置元件。第二彈性元件60的兩端分別連接第一連桿48與第一連接件20。第一凸輪34從突出部44滑向平坦部46時，不僅第一彈性元件28的彈性恢復力可驅動支撐件24沿著第一轉軸16往橋接件18的方向移動，第二彈性元件60也能釋放其彈性恢復力，帶動連桿組22的第一連桿48相對第一連接件20產生順時針旋轉，同樣可提供支撐件24回復到初始位置。 The second resilient element 60 is an optional configuration element. Both ends of the second elastic member 60 are connected to the first link 48 and the first connecting member 20, respectively. When the first cam 34 slides from the protruding portion 44 toward the flat portion 46, not only the elastic restoring force of the first elastic member 28 can drive the support member 24 to move along the first rotating shaft 16 in the direction of the bridge member 18, and the second elastic member 60 also The elastic restoring force can be released, and the first link 48 of the connecting rod set 22 is rotated clockwise relative to the first connecting member 20, and the support member 24 can also be returned to the initial position.
樞軸機構12還可包含第一樞紐件62、第二樞紐件64、第三樞紐件66以及扭力元件68。第一樞紐件62連結第一轉軸16，第二樞紐件64連結第二轉軸30。扭力元件68設置在第一樞紐件62與第二樞紐件64上。扭力元件68之數量與位置不限於本發明實施例所示，端視扭力調節需求而定。第三樞紐件66位於第一樞紐件62和第二樞紐件64之間。第一樞紐件62的第一主動件70配合第三樞紐 件66的第二主動件72，第二樞紐件64的第一被動件74配合第三樞紐件66的第二被動件76。此外，樞軸機構12可包含外殼78，用來包覆在樞紐組(意即第一樞紐件62、第二樞紐件64與第三樞紐件66)以及扭力元件68外以提供防塵保護。 The pivot mechanism 12 can also include a first pivot member 62, a second pivot member 64, a third pivot member 66, and a torsion member 68. The first hinge member 62 is coupled to the first rotating shaft 16, and the second hinge member 64 is coupled to the second rotating shaft 30. The torsion element 68 is disposed on the first hinge member 62 and the second hinge member 64. The number and position of the torsion elements 68 are not limited to those shown in the embodiments of the present invention, depending on the end torque adjustment requirements. The third hinge member 66 is located between the first hinge member 62 and the second hinge member 64. The first active member 70 of the first hinge member 62 cooperates with the third hub The second active member 72 of the member 66, the first passive member 74 of the second hinge member 64 cooperates with the second passive member 76 of the third hinge member 66. Additionally, the pivot mechanism 12 can include a housing 78 for encasing the hub assembly (ie, the first hinge member 62, the second hinge member 64, and the third pivot member 66) and the torsion member 68 to provide dust protection.
請參閱第5圖，第5圖為本發明實施例之移除外殼78之樞軸機構12之示意圖。樞軸機構12在翻轉時，第一主動件70與第二主動件72因機械配合而彼此反向旋轉，第一被動件74與第二被動件76之間的配合不會發生干涉，故第二轉軸30可通過橋接件18與樞紐組環繞第一轉軸16旋轉，使得第一殼體B能順暢地相對第二殼體C展開或收合。一般來說，第二轉軸30相對第一轉軸16的旋轉角度係小於三百六十度，讓電控裝置能從筆電模式切換為平板模式；然實際應用當不限於此。 Referring to FIG. 5, FIG. 5 is a schematic view of the pivot mechanism 12 for removing the outer casing 78 according to an embodiment of the present invention. When the pivot mechanism 12 is turned over, the first active member 70 and the second active member 72 are reversely rotated from each other by mechanical cooperation, and the cooperation between the first passive member 74 and the second passive member 76 does not interfere. The two rotating shafts 30 are rotatable around the first rotating shaft 16 by the bridge member 18 and the pivoting group, so that the first housing B can be smoothly unfolded or folded relative to the second housing C. Generally, the rotation angle of the second rotating shaft 30 relative to the first rotating shaft 16 is less than three hundred and sixty degrees, so that the electronic control device can be switched from the notebook mode to the tablet mode; however, the actual application is not limited thereto.

如第6圖所示，第一殼體B為靠近第二殼體C的狀態，此時橋接件18位於第一角度，支撐件24位於第一位置；第一凸輪34抵靠於第二凸輪40的平坦部46，此時第一彈性元件28沒有被擠壓。如第7圖所示，第一殼體B相對於第二殼體C翻轉約九十度至一百八十度之範圍內，橋接件18位於第二角度，第一凸輪34沿著第一轉軸16旋轉，並從平坦部46滑動至突出部44。其中，第一殼體B相對第二殼體C的翻轉角度並不限於前揭實施態樣所示，端視設計需求而定。第二凸 輪40受到第一凸輪34之軌跡會造成支撐件24沿著第一轉軸16左移至第二位置，使得第一彈性元件28產生壓縮變形。若第一殼體B的翻轉角度超出一百八十度、或收回而小於九十度，第一凸輪34將從突出部44移回平坦部46，第一彈性元件28所儲存的彈性恢復力被釋放，提供支撐件24沿著第一轉軸16右移，以回到第6圖所示之第一位置。 As shown in FIG. 6, the first housing B is in a state of being close to the second housing C. At this time, the bridge member 18 is at the first angle, the support member 24 is at the first position, and the first cam 34 is abutted against the second cam. The flat portion 46 of 40, at which point the first resilient member 28 is not squeezed. As shown in FIG. 7, the first housing B is inverted relative to the second housing C by about ninety to one hundred and eighty degrees, the bridge 18 is at the second angle, and the first cam 34 is along the first The rotating shaft 16 rotates and slides from the flat portion 46 to the protruding portion 44. The angle of inversion of the first casing B relative to the second casing C is not limited to that shown in the previous embodiment, and depends on the design requirements. Second convex The trajectory of the wheel 40 by the first cam 34 causes the support member 24 to move leftward along the first axis of rotation 16 to the second position such that the first resilient member 28 produces a compressive deformation. If the flip angle of the first housing B exceeds one hundred and eighty degrees, or retracts to less than ninety degrees, the first cam 34 will move back from the projection 44 to the flat portion 46, and the elastic restoring force stored by the first elastic member 28 Released, the support member 24 is provided to the right along the first axis of rotation 16 to return to the first position shown in FIG.
如第8圖與第10圖所示，第一凸輪34接觸第二凸輪40的平坦部46，第一連桿48的第一端52連結滑梢38並位於滑槽42的右端，連桿組22處於第一狀態，此時第二彈性元件60沒有受到擠壓。如第9圖與第11圖所示，第一凸輪34觸及第二凸輪40的突出部44，支撐件24沿著第一轉軸16左移，使滑梢38從滑槽42的右端移向左端。此時，第一連桿48以轉折端56為軸心相對第一連接件20發生逆時針旋轉，第二彈性元件60受擠壓儲存彈性恢復力。第三連桿58受到第一連桿48之牽引發生順時針轉動，從而推動第二連桿50沿著第一方向D1平移，連桿組22切換到第二狀態。第二連桿50的線性移動可用來調整升降式按鍵14之高度，使其自第二殼體C抬昇，供使用者操作。 As shown in FIGS. 8 and 10, the first cam 34 contacts the flat portion 46 of the second cam 40, and the first end 52 of the first link 48 joins the slider 38 and is located at the right end of the chute 42 22 is in the first state, at which time the second resilient member 60 is not squeezed. As shown in FIGS. 9 and 11, the first cam 34 touches the projection 44 of the second cam 40, and the support member 24 is moved to the left along the first rotation shaft 16 to move the slider 38 from the right end to the left end of the chute 42. . At this time, the first link 48 rotates counterclockwise with respect to the first connecting member 20 with the turning end 56 as an axis, and the second elastic member 60 is subjected to the elastic storage restoring force. The third link 58 is rotated clockwise by the pulling of the first link 48, thereby urging the second link 50 to translate in the first direction D1, and the link set 22 is switched to the second state. The linear movement of the second link 50 can be used to adjust the height of the lift button 14 from the second housing C for user operation.

In addition, the elastic restoring force of the second elastic member 60 also pushes the first link 48 to rotate clockwise with the turning end 56 as an axis, which helps to cut the link group 22 back to the first state, so that the first The two links 50 are reversely retracted, and the height of the lift button 14 is lowered to be received in the second casing C.
