Description
本發明係關於一種可攜式電腦,特別是包含壓電換能模組的可攜式電腦。The invention relates to a portable computer, in particular to a portable computer including a piezoelectric transducer module.
一般來說,可攜式電腦中會設有電池,藉以提供可攜式電腦中的各個電子元件運作所需的電力。Generally speaking, a battery is provided in a portable computer to provide power required for the operation of various electronic components in the portable computer.
然而,可攜式電腦中的電池通常僅能透過外部電源來充電。如此一來,當可攜式電腦中的電池自外部電源斷開時,該可攜式電腦將僅能依主電池供電,該主電池的電量便會因使用狀態而逐步地消耗,進而造成可攜式電腦的續航力不足。However, the battery in a portable computer can usually only be charged by an external power source. In this way, when the battery in the portable computer is disconnected from the external power source, the portable computer will only be powered by the main battery, and the power of the main battery will be gradually consumed due to the state of use, resulting in possible The battery life of the portable computer is insufficient.
本發明在於提供一種可攜式電腦,藉以提供額外的電力來源用以連接外部電源之主電池。The present invention is to provide a portable computer to provide an additional power source for connecting the main battery of an external power source.
本發明之一實施例所揭露之可攜式電腦包含一主機座體、一顯示機體以及一主電池。主機座體包含一座體及設置於座體中的一鍵盤。顯示機體樞接於主機座體。主電池電性連接於鍵盤中。鍵盤包含一基座、多個鍵帽及至少一壓電換能模組。鍵帽設置於基座上。至少一壓電換能模組設置於基座及鍵帽之間。基座設置於座體中,且至少一壓電換能模組電性連接於主電池。A portable computer disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention includes a main body, a display body and a main battery. The base body of the host includes a base body and a keyboard arranged in the base body. The display body is pivotally connected to the host body. The main battery is electrically connected to the keyboard. The keyboard includes a base, a plurality of keycaps and at least one piezoelectric transducer module. The keycap is arranged on the base. At least one piezoelectric transducer module is arranged between the base and the keycap. The base is arranged in the seat body, and at least one piezoelectric transducer module is electrically connected to the main battery.
根據上述實施例所揭露的可攜式電腦,由於壓電換能模組設置於基座及鍵帽之間,且壓電換能模組電性連接於主電池,因此壓電換能模組會收集按壓鍵帽所產生的力學能,並將所收集的力學能轉換成電力訊號來提供給主電池。如此一來,主電池便能從外部電源以外的來源取得電力,進而增加可攜式電腦的續航力。According to the portable computer disclosed in the above-mentioned embodiments, since the piezoelectric transducer module is arranged between the base and the keycap, and the piezoelectric transducer module is electrically connected to the main battery, the piezoelectric transducer module The mechanical energy generated by pressing the keycap is collected, and the collected mechanical energy is converted into an electrical signal to provide to the main battery. In this way, the main battery can draw power from a source other than the external power source, thereby increasing the battery life of the portable computer.
