Description
一種電子裝置，特別有關於一種具有隱藏式轉軸結構的電子裝置。An electronic device is particularly related to an electronic device having a concealed hinge structure.
隨著現在電子裝置的快速發展，為能提供使用者更大的顯示範圍，因此多會設置獨立的顯示螢幕。例如：筆記型電腦係由主機本體與螢幕所構成或折疊式行動電話。這些電子裝置都是藉由轉軸的方式將顯示裝置與主機本體進行樞接。With the rapid development of electronic devices, in order to provide users with a larger display range, an independent display screen is often set. For example, a notebook computer is composed of a main body and a screen or a folding mobile phone. These electronic devices are pivotally connected to the main body by means of a rotating shaft.
一般而言，樞接裝置會外露在顯示裝置與主機本體的外側。因此樞接裝置的外觀往往與顯示裝置與主機本體會有差異。而且習知的樞接裝置具有翻轉角度限制的問題。習知的筆記型電腦為例，顯示裝置在收納的狀態下是覆蓋在主機本體上。當使用者欲使用筆記型電腦時，使用者可以將顯示裝置翻轉至定位。但由於樞接裝置的轉動有角度的限制，所以顯示裝置是無法與主機本體形成平行的結構。因此習知的電子裝置在觀看或是展示時會有使用上的缺失。Generally, the pivoting device is exposed on the outside of the display device and the main body of the main body. Therefore, the appearance of the pivoting device is often different from that of the display device and the main body. Moreover, conventional pivoting devices have the problem of flip angle limitations. For example, in a conventional notebook computer, the display device is overlaid on the main body of the main body in a state of being stored. When the user wants to use the notebook, the user can flip the display device to the position. However, since the rotation of the pivoting device is angularly limited, the display device cannot be formed in parallel with the main body. Therefore, the conventional electronic device may have a lack of use when viewing or displaying.
鑒於以上的問題，本發明在於提供一種具有隱藏式轉軸結構的電子裝置，其特徵在於顯示裝置與主機本體的轉軸結構，顯示裝置在覆蓋於主機本體上時可以呈現一體成形的外觀。In view of the above problems, the present invention provides an electronic device having a concealed hinge structure, which is characterized by a hinge structure of the display device and the main body, and the display device can exhibit an integrally formed appearance when covering the main body.

有關本發明的特徵與實作，茲配合圖式作最佳實施例詳細說明如下。The features and implementations of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the drawings.
本發明所述的電子裝置可以是但不限定為筆記型電腦(notebook)、行動電話(mobile phone)或平板電腦(Tablet)，也可以應用在顯示裝置與主機本體可翻轉的電子裝置中。請配合參考第1圖與第2圖所示，其係為本發明之電子裝置之外觀示意圖與剖面示意圖。本發明的具有隱藏式轉軸結構的電子裝置10包括主機本體110、固定及樞接部120、顯示裝置130與連接臂140。The electronic device of the present invention may be, but is not limited to, a notebook, a mobile phone, or a tablet, and may also be applied to an electronic device in which the display device and the main body are reversible. Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , which are schematic diagrams and cross-sectional views of the electronic device of the present invention. The electronic device 10 having the hidden shaft structure of the present invention comprises a main body 110, a fixing and pivoting portion 120, a display device 130 and a connecting arm 140.
主機本體110的上表面111設置至少一個固定及樞接部120，而顯示裝置130涵蓋部分的上表面111。在此所述的上表面111係為主機本體110與顯示裝置130之間的側面。固定及樞接部120的厚度與顯示裝置130的厚度相近，使得顯示裝置130覆蓋於上表面111時可以形成一體成形的外觀。顯示裝置130與固定及樞接部120兩者的間距係根據連接臂140的夾角所決定(此一部分將於後文詳述)。在主機本體110的上表面111另設置一容置空間112。容置空間112的位置是根據固定及樞接部120、連接臂140與顯示裝置130所決定。容置空間112的大小是根據連接臂140的形狀與大小所決定。The upper surface 111 of the main body 110 is provided with at least one fixing and pivoting portion 120, and the display device 130 covers a portion of the upper surface 111. The upper surface 111 described herein is a side surface between the main body 110 and the display device 130. The thickness of the fixing and pivoting portion 120 is similar to the thickness of the display device 130 such that the display device 130 can form an integrally formed appearance when it is overlaid on the upper surface 111. The spacing between the display device 130 and the fixed and pivoting portions 120 is determined by the angle of the connecting arms 140 (this portion will be described in more detail below). An accommodating space 112 is further disposed on the upper surface 111 of the main body 110. The position of the accommodating space 112 is determined according to the fixing and pivoting portion 120, the connecting arm 140, and the display device 130. The size of the accommodating space 112 is determined according to the shape and size of the connecting arm 140.
固定及樞接部120具有一活動空間121，而活動空間121係與容置空間112相連通。固定及樞接部120的活動空間121中設置第一樞接部122。顯示裝置130的側邊另設置於第二樞接部131，而所述的側邊係接近固定及樞接部120的側邊。The fixing and pivoting portion 120 has an active space 121, and the movable space 121 is in communication with the accommodating space 112. A first pivoting portion 122 is disposed in the movable space 121 of the fixing and pivoting portion 120. The side of the display device 130 is further disposed on the second pivoting portion 131, and the side edges are close to the sides of the fixing and pivoting portion 120.
本發明的連接臂140係由第一臂體141與第二臂體142所構成，第一臂體141連接於第二臂體142。而第一臂體141與第二臂體142之間具有一夾角，夾角的角度係大於或等於90度。在連接臂140的兩端分別設置第一樞接端143與第二樞接端144。在本發明中第一臂體141與第二臂體142的長度並無限制。由於第一臂體141與第二臂體142形成一三角形，因此主機本體110的容置空間112的大小係根據所述的三角形所決定，請參考第2圖。The connecting arm 140 of the present invention is composed of a first arm body 141 and a second arm body 142, and the first arm body 141 is connected to the second arm body 142. The first arm body 141 and the second arm body 142 have an angle between them, and the angle of the angle is greater than or equal to 90 degrees. A first pivoting end 143 and a second pivoting end 144 are respectively disposed at two ends of the connecting arm 140. In the present invention, the lengths of the first arm body 141 and the second arm body 142 are not limited. Since the first arm body 141 and the second arm body 142 form a triangle, the size of the accommodating space 112 of the main body 110 is determined according to the triangle. Please refer to FIG. 2 .
在連接臂140的兩端另設置第一樞接端143與第二樞接端 144。第一樞接端143樞接於第一樞接部122，第二樞接端144樞接於第二樞接部131。第一樞接端143係以第一樞接部122為軸心進行轉動。第二樞接端144係以第二樞接部131為軸心進行轉動。當第一樞接端143從起點轉動至終點，使得連接臂140位於不同的位置，在此分別定義為第一位置(無標號)與第二位置(無標號)。同理，第二樞接端144的轉動起點與終點，使得顯示裝置130位於第三位置與第四位置。A first pivoting end 143 and a second pivoting end are further disposed at opposite ends of the connecting arm 140 144. The first pivoting end 143 is pivotally connected to the first pivoting portion 122 , and the second pivoting end 144 is pivotally connected to the second pivoting portion 131 . The first pivoting end 143 is rotated about the first pivoting portion 122. The second pivoting end 144 is rotated by the second pivoting portion 131 as an axis. When the first pivoting end 143 is rotated from the starting point to the end point, the connecting arms 140 are located at different positions, respectively defined as a first position (no label) and a second position (no label). Similarly, the starting and ending points of rotation of the second pivoting end 144 cause the display device 130 to be in the third position and the fourth position.
當連接臂140位於容置空間112中，第一臂體141會與容置空間112的表面相抵，此一位置係為第一位置。而第一樞接端143位於第一位置時，連接臂140也同時處於容置空間112中。當第一樞接端143轉動時，也會帶動連接臂140由容置空間112中往外表面移出(以第1圖為例：將第一樞接端143以順時針旋轉)。在本發明中第一樞接端143轉動到定點時，第一臂體141會與固定及樞接部120的內側表面相抵住。所以對此一定點將其定義為第二位置。請參考第3圖所示，其係為本發明之第一樞接端143轉動至第二位置之示意圖。When the connecting arm 140 is located in the accommodating space 112, the first arm body 141 is in contact with the surface of the accommodating space 112, and the position is the first position. When the first pivoting end 143 is in the first position, the connecting arm 140 is also in the accommodating space 112 at the same time. When the first pivoting end 143 is rotated, the connecting arm 140 is also moved out of the accommodating space 112 to the outer surface (as in the first drawing, the first pivoting end 143 is rotated clockwise). In the present invention, when the first pivotal end 143 is rotated to a fixed point, the first arm body 141 will abut against the inner side surface of the fixing and pivoting portion 120. So this is definitely defined as the second position. Please refer to FIG. 3, which is a schematic diagram of the first pivot terminal 143 of the present invention rotated to the second position.
對於顯示裝置130而言，第二樞接端144可以從第三位置轉動到第四位置。在本發明中第三位置(無標號)所指的是，連接臂140被轉動至第二位置時顯示裝置130可以被開始轉動的位置。第四位置(無標號)是顯示裝置130可以被轉動到的位置。舉例來說，當連接臂140被位於第二位置時，顯示裝置130可以從第3圖中的左方並以第二樞接端144為圓心轉動至第3圖中的 右方。所以顯示裝置130可以從第二樞接端144的最左方位置轉動到第二樞接端144的最右方的位置就是分別為第三位置與第四位置。請參考第4圖與第5圖所示，其係為本發明之第二樞接端144轉動至第四位置之剖面示意圖與立體示意圖。For display device 130, second pivot end 144 can be rotated from a third position to a fourth position. The third position (no reference numeral) in the present invention refers to a position at which the display device 130 can be started to rotate when the connecting arm 140 is rotated to the second position. The fourth position (no number) is the position to which the display device 130 can be rotated. For example, when the connecting arm 140 is in the second position, the display device 130 can be rotated from the left in FIG. 3 and the second pivoting end 144 to the center of FIG. Right. Therefore, the position at which the display device 130 can be rotated from the leftmost position of the second pivot terminal 144 to the rightmost position of the second pivot terminal 144 is the third position and the fourth position, respectively. Please refer to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 , which are schematic cross-sectional views and perspective views of the second pivoting end 144 of the present invention rotated to the fourth position.
本發明的具有隱藏式轉軸結構的電子裝置10除了可以提供顯示裝置130多種的角度。當顯示裝置130覆蓋於主機本體110上時，顯示裝置130與主機本體110呈現一體成形的外觀。The electronic device 10 having the concealed hinge structure of the present invention can provide various angles of the display device 130. When the display device 130 is overlaid on the main body 110, the display device 130 and the main body 110 exhibit an integrally formed appearance.
雖然本發明以前述之較佳實施例揭露如上，然其並非用以限定本發明，任何熟習相像技藝者，在不脫離本發明之精神和範圍內，當可作些許之更動與潤飾，因此本發明之專利保護範圍須視本說明書所附之申請專利範圍所界定者為準。While the present invention has been described above in terms of the preferred embodiments thereof, it is not intended to limit the invention, and the invention may be modified and modified without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
