Description
本發明是有關於一種折疊式電子裝置,且特別是有關於一種具觸控筆的折疊式電子裝置。The present invention relates to a foldable electronic device, and in particular to a foldable electronic device with a stylus.
隨著觸控螢幕的應用日益增加,現有折疊式電子裝置,例如筆記型電腦,也隨著上述應用而使觸控輸入的機會增加。一般而言,配置有觸控筆的筆記型電腦通常會以主機或螢幕的側邊結構提供收納觸控筆所需的空間與取放機構,然而隨著筆記型電腦朝向輕薄短小的設計趨勢,主機或螢幕的側邊結構不再具有足夠的空間以設置上述取放機構,甚至也不易存在用以容置觸控筆的空間。With the increasing application of touch screens, existing foldable electronic devices, such as notebook computers, have also increased the opportunities for touch input along with the above applications. Generally speaking, notebook computers equipped with a stylus usually use the side structure of the host or the screen to provide the space and access mechanism required to store the stylus. However, with the trend of notebook computers moving towards thin, light and short designs, There is no longer enough space on the side structure of the host or the screen to install the above-mentioned pick-and-place mechanism, and it is even difficult to have space to accommodate a stylus.
舉例來說,現有筆記型電腦的螢幕多朝向窄邊框的設計條件,在顯示面佔比提高的前提下,螢幕的邊框與顯示模組彼此是呈緊湊的配置模式,故而無法再使觸控筆能如往常一般由螢幕的側邊***或移出。再者,對於主機而言,除了前述輕薄需求之外,主機的側面多是配置以相關的電連接埠或是已被鉸鏈及相關電性走線所佔據,也難有用以取放觸控筆的空間。For example, the screens of existing notebook computers are mostly designed with narrow bezels. On the premise that the display area ratio is increased, the bezel of the screen and the display module are in a compact configuration with each other, so the stylus can no longer be used. Can be inserted or removed from the sides of the screen as usual. Furthermore, for the host, in addition to the aforementioned thinness and lightness requirements, the sides of the host are mostly equipped with related electrical connection ports or are occupied by hinges and related electrical wiring, making it difficult to take and place the stylus. space.
基於上述,如何因應上述條件而提供觸控筆所需的容置空間與取放機構,便成為相關技術人員所需思考的課題。Based on the above, how to provide the accommodation space and pick-and-place mechanism required for the stylus in response to the above conditions has become a topic that relevant technical personnel need to consider.
本發明提供一種具觸控筆的折疊式電子裝置,提供觸控筆隱藏式的收納空間及活動式的取放機構。The present invention provides a foldable electronic device with a stylus, which provides a hidden storage space for the stylus and a movable pick-and-place mechanism.
本發明具觸控筆的折疊式電子裝置,包括第一機體、第二機體、支架、第一鉸鏈、第二鉸鏈以及觸控筆組件。支架的相對兩側緣分別通過第一鉸鏈與第二鉸鏈而連接第一機體與第二機體。支架通過第一鉸鏈而相對於第二機體旋轉開闔,且在支架相對於第二機體展開後,第一機體通過第二鉸鏈而相對於支架旋轉開闔。觸控筆組件活動地設置於支架,且隨第一機體與支架的對應狀態而收納於支架內或從支架移出。The foldable electronic device with a touch pen of the present invention includes a first body, a second body, a bracket, a first hinge, a second hinge and a touch pen assembly. The opposite side edges of the bracket are connected to the first body and the second body through a first hinge and a second hinge respectively. The bracket rotates to open and close relative to the second body through the first hinge, and after the bracket is deployed relative to the second body, the first body rotates to open and close relative to the bracket through the second hinge. The stylus component is movably arranged on the bracket, and can be stored in or removed from the bracket depending on the corresponding state of the first body and the bracket.
基於上述,折疊式電子裝置是以支架的相對兩側緣分別通過第一鉸鏈與第二鉸鏈而連接第一機體與第二機體,而使第一機體、支架與第二機體產生不同的折疊狀態。同時,折疊式電子裝置還將觸控筆組件活動地設置於支架,以利用上述不同折疊狀態而隨之驅動觸控筆組件產生對應的運動,以使觸控筆組件能達到收納於支架或從支架移出的效果。Based on the above, the foldable electronic device uses the opposite sides of the bracket to connect the first body and the second body through the first hinge and the second hinge respectively, so that the first body, the bracket and the second body produce different folding states. . At the same time, the foldable electronic device also movably disposes the stylus assembly on the bracket, so as to utilize the above-mentioned different folding states to drive the stylus assembly to produce corresponding movements, so that the stylus pen assembly can be stored in the bracket or removed from the bracket. The effect of bracket removal.
圖1A是本發明一實施例的折疊式電子裝置的示意圖。圖1B與圖1C分別是圖1A的折疊式電子式裝置於不同狀態的示意圖。在此提供直角座標X-Y-Z以利於構件描述,且直角座標X-Y-Z是以折疊式電子裝置所座落的平面為X-Y平面之基準。請先參考圖1A至圖1C,在本實施例中,具觸控筆的折疊式電子裝置,以下簡稱折疊式電子裝置100,例如是筆記型電腦,其包括第一機體110、第二機體120、支架130、第一鉸鏈160、第二鉸鏈140以及觸控筆組件150。支架130的相對兩側緣分別通過第一鉸鏈160與第二鉸鏈140而連接第一機體110與第二機體120。支架130通過第一鉸鏈160而相對於第二機體120旋轉開闔,其具有旋轉軸向AX1,且在支架130相對於第二機體120展開後,第一機體110通過第二鉸鏈140而相對於支架130旋轉開闔,其具有旋轉軸向AX2,且旋轉軸向AX1平行旋轉軸向AX2且平行X軸。據此,第一機體110、第二機體120與支架130便能依據使用需求而在不同的折疊狀態之間轉換,如圖1A至圖1C所示,但不限於此,後續尚有其他狀態的描述。再者,觸控筆組件150活動地設置於支架130的內側,且隨第一機體110與支架130的對應狀態而收納於支架130內或從支架130移出,如圖1C所示的移出狀態,後續會有進一步描述。FIG. 1A is a schematic diagram of a foldable electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1B and FIG. 1C are schematic diagrams of the foldable electronic device of FIG. 1A in different states respectively. The rectangular coordinates X-Y-Z are provided here to facilitate component description, and the rectangular coordinates X-Y-Z are based on the plane on which the foldable electronic device is located as the basis of the X-Y plane. Please refer to FIGS. 1A to 1C . In this embodiment, a foldable electronic device with a stylus, hereinafter referred to as a foldable
圖2A是圖1B的折疊式電子裝置的部分構件示意圖,其中省略的是支架130的外殼。圖2B以另一視角繪示圖2A的折疊式電子裝置的局部。圖3是圖1B的折疊式電子裝置的分解示意圖。圖4是觸控筆組件的分解示意圖。請先參考圖2A、圖3與圖4,本實施例的觸控筆組件150包括底板151、第一連動件152、第二連動件153、載座154、彈性件156以及觸控筆155。底板151設置於支架130的內側,第一連動件152樞接底板151,第二連動件153樞接第一連動件152,載座154樞接第二連動件153,其中第一連動件152、第二連動件153與載座154構成連桿機構。彈性件156連接底板151與載座154,觸控筆155被夾持於載座154,其中彈性件156恆驅動載座154將觸控筆155從支架130移出。FIG. 2A is a schematic diagram of some components of the foldable electronic device of FIG. 1B , in which the outer casing of the
請再參考圖2A、圖2B與圖4,其中圖4相關構件組裝後即是圖2A與圖2B所示狀態。在本實施例中,設置於支架130的底板151具有線槽151a、固定件151b以及窗口151c,其中彈性件156,例如是線簧,其一端E1收納於線槽151a且受固定件151b固定而組裝於底板151,其另一端E2抵接於載座154的階梯結構154b,如圖2B所示,此時的彈性件156是處於變形且蓄積彈力的狀態。再者,如圖4所示,第一連動件152的一端通過樞接件F1而樞接至底板151且位於窗口151c內,第二連動件153的一端通過樞接件F3而樞接於第一連動件152的另一端,載座154通過樞接件F2而樞接於第二連動件153的另一端,觸控筆155被夾持在載座154的承載槽154a內。Please refer to Figure 2A, Figure 2B and Figure 4 again. The relevant components in Figure 4 will be in the state shown in Figure 2A and Figure 2B after assembly. In this embodiment, the
基於上述構件配置,第一連動件152、第二連動件153與載座154會相對於底板151而形成連桿機構,其中載座154的相對兩側翼是承靠於底板151且同與階梯結構154b隔著底板151與承載槽154a相對,相當於載座154受底板151的限制而僅能沿直線路徑在底板151上來回滑動,同時據以驅動第一連動件152、第二連動件153可移動地通過底板151的窗口151c。Based on the above component configuration, the
圖5繪示觸控筆組件的不同狀態,其聚焦於前述連桿機構以利於描述其狀態改變過程。請同時參考圖2A、圖2B與圖5,在圖2A或圖2B所示狀態時,也就是如圖1B所示的筆記型電腦的正常使用狀態,其反映在圖5的左側,也就是第一機體110是閉闔且疊置於支架130,如此一來,前述連桿機構的第一連動件152與第二連動件153是被第一機體110抵壓而容置於窗口151c,此時第一連動件152的外形與第二連動件153的外形適配於窗口151c的輪廓。請再參考圖3,本實施例的折疊式電子裝置100還包括多個磁性件M1~M4,其分別設置在第一機體110與支架130,以使第一機體110與支架130通過磁性件M1~M4相互磁吸而達到閉闔且疊置的狀態。在此,這些磁性件M1~M的磁吸力大於彈性件156的彈力,因此能讓第一機體110維持如1B所示閉闔於支架130且抵壓連桿機構的狀態。可預期的,第一機體110與支架130也可採用磁性件/導磁件(或磁性結構/導磁結構)的搭配,或以卡扣結構等作為維持其閉闔狀態之所需。Figure 5 illustrates different states of the stylus assembly, which focuses on the aforementioned link mechanism to facilitate description of its state change process. Please refer to Figure 2A, Figure 2B and Figure 5 at the same time. In the state shown in Figure 2A or Figure 2B, that is, the normal use state of the notebook computer shown in Figure 1B, it is reflected on the left side of Figure 5, which is the
更重要的是,支架130具有用以收納觸控筆155的容置槽131,在圖2B及圖5左側所示狀態下,彈性件156是處於變形且蓄積彈力的狀態。因此如圖5右側所示,當第一機體110移離支架130後,也就是第一機體110與支架130彼此相對地旋轉且展開時,失去第一機體110抵壓的連桿機構,即能通過彈性件156的彈力推動載座154沿底板151抬升移動,並連動第一連動件152與第二連動件153,以使第一連動件152的局部與第二連動件153的局部突出於窗口151c,且載座154上的觸控筆155也會因此從支架130內的容置槽131移出支架130之外。換句話說,圖5左側所示即是觸控筆155被收納於支架130內的狀態,而右側則是移出支架130狀態。使用者便能順利地掀開第一機體110而取出觸控筆155,或由第一機體110相對於支架130展開後的側向開口取出觸控筆155,如圖1C所示。More importantly, the
請再參考圖4,本實施例於底板151設置多個線槽151a與多個固定件151b的目的在於,因應彈性件156的彈性以藉由改變彈性件156的一端E1的固定位置得以調整其蓄積的彈力,並確保第一機體110移離支架130時,所述蓄積的彈力能順利地頂推載座154及所述連桿機構。另外,請再參考圖2,彈性件156在觸控筆組件150所佔地位尚會影響支架130的結構厚度,簡單地說,本實施例採用線簧作為彈力構件即是因其體積與配置簡單,能有效地降低支架130的結構厚度。當然,在其他未繪示的實施例中,若不考慮結構厚度的前提下,彈性件也可採用其他類型,例如伸縮彈簧等。Please refer to FIG. 4 again. In this embodiment, the purpose of providing a plurality of

FIG. 6B is a partial cross-sectional view of the foldable electronic device of FIG. 6A. Please refer to FIG. 6A and FIG. 6B at the same time, which is the tablet mode of the foldable
綜上所述,在本發明的上述實施例中,折疊式電子裝置是以支架的相對兩側緣分別通過第一鉸鏈與第二鉸鏈而連接第一機體與第二機體,而使第一機體、支架與第二機體產生不同的折疊狀態。同時,折疊式電子裝置還將觸控筆組件活動地設置於支架,以利用上述不同折疊狀態而隨之驅動觸控筆組件產生對應的運動,以使觸控筆組件能達到收納於支架或從支架移出的效果。To sum up, in the above embodiments of the present invention, the foldable electronic device uses the opposite side edges of the bracket to connect the first body and the second body through the first hinge and the second hinge respectively, so that the first body , the bracket and the second body produce different folding states. At the same time, the foldable electronic device also movably disposes the stylus assembly on the bracket, so as to utilize the above-mentioned different folding states to drive the stylus assembly to produce corresponding movements, so that the stylus pen assembly can be stored in the bracket or removed from the bracket. The effect of bracket removal.
進一步地說,觸控筆組件是通過第一連動件、第二連動件與載座所形成的連桿機構並以彈性件提供其所需的驅動力,同時進一步地利用第一機體與支架的對應關係,而使第一機體能對設置在支架的觸控筆組件提供壓制與否,而使被夾持在載座上的觸控筆能因連桿機構的運動而被移入或移出支架。Furthermore, the stylus assembly is a linkage mechanism formed by the first linkage member, the second linkage member and the carrier, and uses an elastic member to provide the required driving force, and at the same time further utilizes the connection between the first body and the bracket. The corresponding relationship enables the first body to suppress the stylus assembly arranged on the bracket, so that the stylus clamped on the carrier can be moved into or out of the bracket due to the movement of the link mechanism.
