Description

可攜式電子設備Portable electronic device

本創作係有關於一種可攜式電子設備，特別係有關於一種具有平板裝置的可攜式電子設備。The present invention relates to a portable electronic device, and more particularly to a portable electronic device having a tablet device.

平板電腦已逐漸普極化，市面上也存在可與平板電腦搭配使用的鍵盤底座。然而，市面上的鍵盤底座與平板電腦結合時，一般主要以自動鎖附的方式進行連接，在拆卸的時候，需要使用者推動按鍵，方能釋放平板電腦，容許平板電腦自鍵盤底座取下。在拆卸過程中，不但要穩定鍵盤底座、推動按鍵、還同時要取下平板電腦，造成使用者的不方便。此外，在平板電腦取下之後，也常常發生卡合結構未彈回的問題，增加使用者在操作上的困擾。Tablet PCs have become increasingly polarized, and there are keyboard docks on the market that can be used with tablets. However, when the keyboard base on the market is combined with the tablet computer, it is generally connected by means of automatic locking. When disassembling, the user needs to push the button to release the tablet computer, and the tablet computer is allowed to be removed from the keyboard base. During the disassembly process, not only the keyboard base should be stabilized, the buttons should be pushed, but also the tablet should be removed, which is inconvenient for the user. In addition, after the tablet is removed, the problem that the engaging structure does not bounce back often occurs, which increases the user's operation troubles.

一種可攜式電子設備，包括平板裝置以及擴充座。平板裝置包括彈力元件、閂以及第一磁性元件，彈力元件連接閂，閂適於在卡合位置以及釋放位置之間移動。擴充座包括連結單元，連結單元包括卡勾，卡勾於釋放方位以及卡合方位之間樞轉，其中，平板裝置以可拆卸的方式於連結單元連接擴充座，當平板裝置連接擴充座時，第一磁性元件之磁性吸力將卡勾從釋放方位旋轉至卡合方位，藉此卡勾於卡合方位抵接閂，以防止平板裝置從擴充座脫離。A portable electronic device includes a tablet device and a docking station. The tablet device includes a resilient member, a latch and a first magnetic member, the resilient member coupling latch adapted to move between the engaged position and the released position. The docking station includes a connecting unit, and the connecting unit includes a hook, and the hook pivots between the releasing orientation and the engaging orientation, wherein the tablet device is detachably connected to the connecting base of the connecting unit, when the tablet device is connected to the docking station, The magnetic attraction of the first magnetic element rotates the hook from the release orientation to the engagement orientation, whereby the hook abuts on the engagement orientation Latch to prevent the tablet from escaping from the dock.

應用本創作實施例之可攜式電子設備，使用者可以在任何角度推動推滑部而將平板裝置從擴充座取下；另可於特定角度直接將平板裝置從擴充座取下，大大提昇了取放平板裝置時的便利性。此外，在本創作實施例之中，卡勾係透過第一磁性元件以及第二磁性元件的磁性吸力或斥力，於釋放方位以及卡合方位之間樞轉，因此不會發生平板裝置脫離後，卡勾尚未歸位的情況發生。With the portable electronic device of the present embodiment, the user can push the sliding portion at any angle to remove the tablet device from the docking station; and the tablet device can be directly removed from the docking station at a specific angle, thereby greatly improving Convenience when handling a tablet device. In addition, in the present embodiment, the hook is pivoted between the release orientation and the engagement orientation by the magnetic attraction or repulsive force of the first magnetic component and the second magnetic component, so that the tablet device does not become detached. The situation where the hook has not been returned.
