栓锁结构与电子组件Latch structure and electronic components

技术领域 technical field

本发明是有关于一种栓锁结构,且特别是一种结合不同电子装置的栓锁结构与电子组件。The present invention relates to a latch structure, and in particular to a latch structure and electronic components combined with different electronic devices.

背景技术 Background technique

在现今信息爆炸的时代里,人类生活已经离不开电子信息,使用者经常运用便携式电子装置来互相传递电子信息及储存电子信息已经是相当普遍,尤其是可以随身携带的移动通信装置或平板电脑。In today's era of information explosion, human life is inseparable from electronic information. Users often use portable electronic devices to transfer electronic information and store electronic information. It is quite common, especially mobile communication devices or tablet computers that can be carried with you. .

以平板电脑为例,为了减少使用者携带时的负担。因此,相较于笔记本电脑,平板电脑在设计时多会牺牲部分的功能以求其方便性。例如,以触控屏幕来取代实体的按键等。Taking a tablet computer as an example, in order to reduce the burden on the user when carrying it. Therefore, compared with notebook computers, tablet computers often sacrifice some of their functions for convenience. For example, a touch screen is used to replace physical buttons and the like.

有鉴于此,部分的厂商便设计了扩充用的基座,以使其扩充后的功能适于使用者在定点使用平板电脑。举例来说,除了充电功能之外,扩充基座还会设计实体的按键甚至扬声器,以使平板电脑通过扩充基座而提高其操作性及效能。In view of this, some manufacturers have designed expansion bases, so that the expanded functions are suitable for users to use tablet computers at fixed points. For example, in addition to the charging function, the docking station will also design physical buttons and even speakers, so that the tablet computer can improve its operability and performance through the docking station.

发明内容 Contents of the invention

本发明提供一种电子组件。The invention provides an electronic component.

本发明提供一种电子组件,其具有较佳的操作性与安全性。The invention provides an electronic component with better operability and safety.

本发明的一实施例提出一种电子组件,包括一便携式电子装置、一扩充基座以及一栓锁结构。扩充基座包括能彼此开合的一底座与一框架。栓锁结构包括一栓锁组件、一第一磁性件与一第二磁性件。栓锁组件可移动地配置在框架上。栓锁组件具有一容置槽。第一磁性件可移动地配置在容置槽内。第二磁性件配置在底座且对应第一磁性件。第一磁性件的磁性相同于与第二磁性件的磁性。当框架与底座彼此闭合时,第二磁性件通过磁力维持第一磁性件在容置槽内,且栓锁组件适于栓锁便携式电子装置在框架上,或从框架释放便携式电子装置。当栓锁组件栓锁便携式电子装置在框架上,且框架与底座彼此展开时,第一磁性件与第二磁性件彼此无相互作用的磁力,而使第一磁性件的局部移出容置槽而卡置在栓锁组件与框架之间,以阻挡栓锁组件在框架上移动。An embodiment of the present invention provides an electronic component, including a portable electronic device, a docking station, and a locking structure. The expansion base includes a base and a frame that can be opened and closed. The locking structure includes a locking component, a first magnetic part and a second magnetic part. The latch assembly is movably configured on the frame. The latch assembly has an accommodating slot. The first magnetic part is movably arranged in the accommodating groove. The second magnetic part is arranged on the base and corresponds to the first magnetic part. The magnetism of the first magnetic part is the same as that of the second magnetic part. When the frame and the base are closed, the second magnetic part maintains the first magnetic part in the receiving slot by magnetic force, and the latch assembly is suitable for latching the portable electronic device on the frame, or releasing the portable electronic device from the frame. When the latch assembly latches the portable electronic device on the frame, and the frame and the base are unfolded, the first magnetic part and the second magnetic part have no mutual magnetic force, so that part of the first magnetic part moves out of the accommodating groove. It is clamped between the latch assembly and the frame to prevent the latch assembly from moving on the frame.

在本发明的一实施例中,上述的框架具有一定位孔,位于容置槽的移动路径上。当栓锁组件栓锁便携式电子装置在框架上时,容置槽与定位孔彼此相对,且当框架与底座彼此展开时,第一磁性件卡置在容置槽与定位孔。In an embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned frame has a positioning hole located on a moving path of the accommodating groove. When the latch assembly latches the portable electronic device on the frame, the accommodating slot and the positioning hole are opposite to each other, and when the frame and the base are unfolded, the first magnetic part is locked in the accommodating slot and the positioning hole.

在本发明的一实施例中,还包括一弹性件,配置在容置槽内,弹性件抵接在第一磁性件与栓锁组件之间,且弹性件恒驱动第一磁性件远离容置槽。In one embodiment of the present invention, it also includes an elastic member disposed in the accommodation groove, the elastic member abuts between the first magnetic member and the latch assembly, and the elastic member constantly drives the first magnetic member away from the accommodation groove.

在本发明的一实施例中,上述的弹性件提供第一磁性件的弹力,小于第一磁性件与第二磁性件之间的磁力。In an embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned elastic member provides the elastic force of the first magnetic member, which is smaller than the magnetic force between the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member.

在本发明的一实施例中,上述的栓锁组件包括一本体与一第一卡勾。本体滑动地配置在框架内。本体具有一滑槽与上述的容置槽。第一卡勾具有一枢接部与一滑动部。枢接部枢接至框架。滑动部耦接至滑槽。本体滑动而带动第一卡勾转动以暴露出或隐藏在框架。In an embodiment of the present invention, the aforementioned latch assembly includes a body and a first hook. The main body is slidably arranged in the frame. The body has a sliding slot and the above-mentioned accommodating slot. The first hook has a pivot portion and a sliding portion. The pivot joint is pivotally connected to the frame. The sliding part is coupled to the chute. The main body slides to drive the first hook to rotate so as to be exposed or hidden in the frame.

在本发明的一实施例中,上述的滑槽的延伸轴向与枢接部保持一间距,且滑槽的延伸轴向与本体的滑动轴向一致。In an embodiment of the present invention, the extension axis of the above-mentioned sliding slot maintains a distance from the pivot portion, and the extension axis of the sliding slot is consistent with the sliding axis of the body.

在本发明的一实施例中,还包括一第二卡勾,配置在框架内且位于本体的移动路径上。当本体朝第二卡勾滑动并将第二卡勾推出框架外时,本体带动第一卡勾转动而隐藏在框架。当本体移离第二卡勾时,本体带动第一卡勾而暴露出框架。In an embodiment of the present invention, it further includes a second hook disposed in the frame and located on the moving path of the main body. When the body slides toward the second hook and pushes the second hook out of the frame, the body drives the first hook to rotate and hides in the frame. When the body moves away from the second hook, the body drives the first hook to expose the frame.

在本发明的一实施例中,上述的本体位于第一卡勾与第二卡勾之间。In an embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned body is located between the first hook and the second hook.

在本发明的一实施例中,上述的第二卡勾包含一弹片与一卡勾部。弹片的一端固设在框架。卡勾部位于弹片的另一端。本体朝第二卡勾滑动而变形弹片并将卡勾部推出框架外。当本体移离第二卡勾时,弹片驱动卡勾部移回框架内。In an embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned second hook includes an elastic piece and a hook portion. One end of the shrapnel is fixed on the frame. The hook portion is located at the other end of the shrapnel. The main body slides toward the second hook to deform the elastic piece and push the hook portion out of the frame. When the body moves away from the second hook, the shrapnel drives the hook part to move back into the frame.

在本发明的一实施例中,上述的第一卡勾的运动范围与第二卡勾的运动范围分属彼此垂直的两个几何平面。In an embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned movement range of the first hook and the movement range of the second hook belong to two geometric planes perpendicular to each other.

基于上述,在本发明的上述实施例中,栓锁结构通过驱动第一卡勾或第二卡勾,以将框架栓锁在底座,或将便携式电子装置栓锁在框架。再者,进一步地搭配磁性件,而使框架与底座仅能在呈闭合状态时进行组装或拆卸便携式电子装置。此举使扩充底座在展开状态时,第二卡勾仍能维持其卡扣于便携式电子装置的状态而不受外力影响,进而在展开状态的扩充基座能与便携式电子装置维持固定连接关系,因而确保电子组件使用时的安全性与操作性。Based on the above, in the above embodiments of the present invention, the locking structure drives the first hook or the second hook to latch the frame to the base, or to latch the portable electronic device to the frame. Furthermore, the magnetic component is further matched so that the frame and the base can only be assembled or disassembled when the portable electronic device is in a closed state. In this way, when the expansion base is in the unfolded state, the second hook can still maintain its buckled state on the portable electronic device without being affected by external force, and then the expansion base in the expanded state can maintain a fixed connection with the portable electronic device. Therefore, the safety and operability of the electronic components are ensured.

为使本发明的上述特征和优点能更明显易懂,下文特举实施例,并配合所附图式作详细说明如下。In order to make the above-mentioned features and advantages of the present invention more comprehensible, the following specific embodiments are described in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

具体实施方式 Detailed ways

图1与图2分别是本发明一实施例的一种扩充基座的示意图,其中图1示出扩充基座在展开状态,图2示出扩充基座在闭合状态。在本实施例中,电子组件10是由一扩充基座100与一便携式电子装置200所构成。扩充基座100包括一底座110与一框架120,并以一铰链130连接其中,以使底座110与框架120能对应地开合而在图1的展开状态与图2的闭合状态之间转换。便携式电子装置200,例如平板电脑或移动电话,其通过组装至框架120而与使框架120环绕地夹持便携式电子装置200,并因而使便携式电子装置200与底座110电性连接,以通过扩充基座100扩充便携式电子装置200的功能。FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 are schematic diagrams of an expansion base according to an embodiment of the present invention, wherein FIG. 1 shows that the expansion base is in an unfolded state, and FIG. 2 shows that the expansion base is in a closed state. In this embodiment, the electronic component 10 is composed of a docking station 100 and a portable electronic device 200 . The docking station 100 includes a base 110 and a frame 120 connected by a hinge 130 so that the base 110 and the frame 120 can be opened and closed correspondingly to switch between the unfolded state in FIG. 1 and the closed state in FIG. 2 . The portable electronic device 200, such as a tablet computer or a mobile phone, is assembled to the frame 120 so that the frame 120 surrounds the portable electronic device 200, and thus electrically connects the portable electronic device 200 to the base 110 to pass through the expansion base. The stand 100 expands the functions of the portable electronic device 200 .

值得注意的是,为避免便携式电子装置200在扩充基座100处于展开状态(如图1所示)时因使用者误触而发生从框架120掉落的可能,因而电子组件10还需设计一保险机制,以使便携式电子装置200在未使用的状态时方能组装至扩充基座100或从扩充基座100拆卸。据此,图3与图4分别是以相对视角示出图2的扩充基座在A部分的局部放大图,在此将框架120的局部予以透视,以便于辨识及描述其内的相关构件,且图3与图4分别示出栓锁结构的不同状态。It should be noted that in order to avoid the possibility of the portable electronic device 200 falling from the frame 120 due to a user's mistaken touch when the docking station 100 is in the unfolded state (as shown in FIG. 1 ), the electronic component 10 needs to be designed A safety mechanism is provided so that the portable electronic device 200 can be assembled to or disassembled from the docking station 100 when it is not in use. Accordingly, FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 respectively show a partial enlarged view of part A of the docking station in FIG. 2 from relative perspectives. Here, a part of the frame 120 is seen through to facilitate identification and description of related components therein. 3 and 4 respectively show different states of the latching structure.

请同时参考图3与图4,电子组件10还包括设置于扩充基座100的一栓锁结构300,用以在扩充基座100的底座110与框架120在图2的闭合状态时将两者栓锁在一起,且栓锁结构300亦能将便携式电子装置200栓锁在扩充基座100的框架120上,同时通过其结构特征而限定便携式电子装置200仅在扩充基座100处于闭合状态时方能将便携式电子装置200组装至框架120。详述如下:Please refer to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 at the same time. The electronic assembly 10 further includes a latch structure 300 disposed on the docking station 100 for locking the base 110 and the frame 120 of the docking station 100 in the closed state shown in FIG. 2 . latch together, and the latch structure 300 can also latch the portable electronic device 200 on the frame 120 of the docking station 100, and at the same time limit the portable electronic device 200 only when the docking station 100 is in a closed state through its structural features Only then can the portable electronic device 200 be assembled to the frame 120 . The details are as follows:

在本实施例中,栓锁结构300包括一栓锁组件330,其可移动地配置在框架120上。栓锁组件330包括一第一卡勾331、一第二卡勾332、一本体333与一推钮334。本体333滑动地配置在框架120内并沿一轴向A1来回滑动,而第一卡勾331与第二卡勾332同在此轴向A1上并位于本体333的相对两端处。推钮334设置在框架120外并连接至本体333,以使使用者通过施力于推钮334而控制本体333在框架120内滑动。In this embodiment, the locking structure 300 includes a locking component 330 which is movably configured on the frame 120 . The latch assembly 330 includes a first hook 331 , a second hook 332 , a body 333 and a push button 334 . The main body 333 is slidably disposed in the frame 120 and slides back and forth along an axis A1 , while the first hook 331 and the second hook 332 are located on opposite ends of the main body 333 along the axial A1 . The push button 334 is disposed outside the frame 120 and connected to the body 333 , so that the user can control the body 333 to slide in the frame 120 by applying force to the push button 334 .

图5与图6分别是图3的栓锁组件的侧视图,其用以表示第一卡勾331随着本体333滑动而处于不同状态。请参考图3、图5与图6,在本实施例中,本体333具有一滑槽333a,其沿轴向A1延伸,而第一卡勾331具有一枢接部331a与一滑动部331b,其中枢接部331a枢接至框架120(如图3所示),滑动部331b耦接至本体333的滑槽333a。由于滑槽333a与枢接部331a保持一间距d1,故当本体333沿轴向A1来回滑动时,便同时带动滑动部331b沿轴向A1移动而施加扭矩在第一卡勾331上,以造成第一卡勾331以其枢接部331a相对于框架120转动。在此,由于第一卡勾331相当于在第一几何平面N1上转动而暴露出或隐藏在框架120,故在框架120与底座110呈闭合状态时(即第一几何平面N1垂直于底座110时),暴露出框架120的第一卡勾331即能因此而卡扣在底座110的卡扣部112,而使闭合状态的底座110与框架120能固定在一起。相对地,此时使用者若推动本体333以使第一卡勾331转动并隐藏在框架120内时,便能解除底座110与框架120之间的固定关系。FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 are side views of the latch assembly in FIG. 3 , which are used to illustrate the different states of the first hook 331 as the body 333 slides. Please refer to FIG. 3 , FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 , in this embodiment, the body 333 has a sliding slot 333a extending along the axial direction A1, and the first hook 331 has a pivoting portion 331a and a sliding portion 331b, The pivoting portion 331a is pivotally connected to the frame 120 (as shown in FIG. 3 ), and the sliding portion 331b is coupled to the slide slot 333a of the body 333 . Since the sliding slot 333a and the pivoting portion 331a maintain a distance d1, when the main body 333 slides back and forth along the axial direction A1, it simultaneously drives the sliding portion 331b to move along the axial direction A1 and exerts a torque on the first hook 331 to cause The first hook 331 rotates relative to the frame 120 through its pivot portion 331 a. Here, since the first hook 331 is equivalent to rotating on the first geometric plane N1 to be exposed or hidden in the frame 120, when the frame 120 and the base 110 are in a closed state (that is, the first geometric plane N1 is perpendicular to the base 110 ), the exposed first hook 331 of the frame 120 can thus be buckled on the buckle portion 112 of the base 110 , so that the closed base 110 and the frame 120 can be fixed together. In contrast, if the user pushes the body 333 at this time to rotate the first hook 331 and hide it in the frame 120 , the fixed relationship between the base 110 and the frame 120 can be released.

图7与图8是以俯视视角示出图4的栓锁组件在不同状态的示意图,其中图3的状态实质上对应至图8的状态。请同时参考图4、图7与图8,第二卡勾332配置在框架120内且位于本体333的移动路径上。进一步地说,第二卡勾332具有一弹片332a与一卡勾部332b,弹片332a的一端E1固定至框架120,而卡勾部332b位于弹片332a的另一端E2。如图7所示,当第二卡勾332未受力时,其弹片332a的另一端E2是从框架120靠近便携式电子装置200处朝远离便携式电子装置200处延伸。如图8所示,当本体沿轴向A1而朝第二卡勾332滑动时,本体333会抵压弹片332a的另一端E2,进而将卡勾部332b推向便携式电子装置200,亦即将卡勾部332b推出框架120而卡扣在便携式电子装置200的卡扣部210,以使便携式电子装置200固定在框架120上。换句话说,第二卡勾332是在一第二几何平面N2上进行运动,而组装后的框架120与便携式电子装置200亦位于此第二几何平面N2上,且当框架120与底座110呈闭合状态时,第二几何平面N2会平行于底座110。FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 are schematic diagrams showing different states of the latch assembly in FIG. 4 from a top view, wherein the state in FIG. 3 substantially corresponds to the state in FIG. 8 . Please refer to FIG. 4 , FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 at the same time, the second hook 332 is disposed in the frame 120 and located on the moving path of the main body 333 . Furthermore, the second hook 332 has an elastic piece 332a and a hook portion 332b, one end E1 of the elastic piece 332a is fixed to the frame 120, and the hook portion 332b is located at the other end E2 of the elastic piece 332a. As shown in FIG. 7 , when the second hook 332 is not stressed, the other end E2 of the elastic piece 332 a extends from the frame 120 near the portable electronic device 200 to away from the portable electronic device 200 . As shown in FIG. 8, when the body slides toward the second hook 332 along the axial direction A1, the body 333 will press against the other end E2 of the elastic piece 332a, and then push the hook portion 332b to the portable electronic device 200, that is, the hook portion 332b will be locked. The hook portion 332 b pushes out the frame 120 and is locked on the buckle portion 210 of the portable electronic device 200 , so that the portable electronic device 200 is fixed on the frame 120 . In other words, the second hook 332 moves on a second geometric plane N2, and the assembled frame 120 and portable electronic device 200 are also located on this second geometric plane N2, and when the frame 120 and the base 110 are in a In the closed state, the second geometric plane N2 is parallel to the base 110 .

基于上述,请同时参考图5至图8,栓锁组件330的第一卡勾331与第二卡勾332在运动时分属彼此垂直的第一几何平面N1与第二几何平面N2,且第一卡勾331与第二卡勾332位于本体333滑动路径的相对两端。换句话说,通过上述第一卡勾331、本体333与第二卡勾332的结构与运动特征,使用者使本体333滑动至一第一位置P1(如图5和图7)时,框架120能通过第一卡勾331而栓锁住底座110,并能将便携式电子装置200从框架120释放。相对地,当使用者推动本体333滑动至一第二位置P2时(如图6和图8),框架120则从底座110释放,并能以第二卡勾332将便携式电子装置200栓锁在框架120上。Based on the above, please refer to FIG. 5 to FIG. 8 at the same time. The first hook 331 and the second hook 332 of the latch assembly 330 belong to the first geometric plane N1 and the second geometric plane N2 perpendicular to each other when moving, and the second The first hook 331 and the second hook 332 are located at opposite ends of the sliding path of the body 333 . In other words, through the structure and movement characteristics of the first hook 331, the body 333 and the second hook 332, when the user slides the body 333 to a first position P1 (as shown in FIGS. 5 and 7 ), the frame 120 The base 110 can be latched by the first hook 331 , and the portable electronic device 200 can be released from the frame 120 . In contrast, when the user pushes the main body 333 to slide to a second position P2 (as shown in FIGS. 6 and 8 ), the frame 120 is released from the base 110, and the portable electronic device 200 can be latched on the second hook 332. frame 120 on.

图9示出栓锁组件在另一状态的示意图。请同时参考图5、图6与图9,在本实施例中,为使扩充基座100的底座110与框架120在展开状态下,便携式电子装置200仍能与框架120之间保持固定关系且不受任何外力的影响而掉落。栓锁结构300还包括一弹性件340、一第一磁性件310与一第二磁性件320,其中本体333具有一容置槽333b,第一磁性件310可移动地配置在容置槽333b内,弹性件340配置在容置槽333b内且抵接在第一磁性件310与本体333之间。在此,弹性件340恒驱动第一磁性件310朝远离容置槽333b的方向移动,亦即当第一磁性件310完全位于容置槽333b内时,弹性件340是处于变形状态。第二磁性件320配置在底座110内,且当底座110与框架120呈闭合状态时,第一磁性件310与第二磁性件320彼此相对。进一步地说,本实施例的第一磁性件310与第二磁性件320在其相对侧的磁性相同,故在上述闭合状态时,第一磁性件310与第二磁性件320彼此产生磁斥力。Fig. 9 shows a schematic view of the latch assembly in another state. Please refer to FIG. 5, FIG. 6 and FIG. 9 at the same time. In this embodiment, in order to make the base 110 of the docking station 100 and the frame 120 in the unfolded state, the portable electronic device 200 can still maintain a fixed relationship with the frame 120 and Fall without being affected by any external force. The latch structure 300 also includes an elastic member 340, a first magnetic member 310 and a second magnetic member 320, wherein the body 333 has a receiving groove 333b, and the first magnetic member 310 is movably disposed in the receiving groove 333b , the elastic member 340 is disposed in the receiving groove 333 b and abuts between the first magnetic member 310 and the main body 333 . Here, the elastic member 340 constantly drives the first magnetic member 310 to move away from the accommodating groove 333b, that is, when the first magnetic member 310 is completely located in the accommodating groove 333b, the elastic member 340 is in a deformed state. The second magnetic part 320 is disposed in the base 110 , and when the base 110 and the frame 120 are in a closed state, the first magnetic part 310 and the second magnetic part 320 are opposite to each other. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the magnetic properties of the opposite sides of the first magnetic part 310 and the second magnetic part 320 are the same, so in the above closed state, the first magnetic part 310 and the second magnetic part 320 generate a magnetic repulsion force to each other.

另外,框架120还具有一定位孔122,其位于容置槽333b的移动路径上。当本体333滑动至第二位置P2时,定位孔122正对于容置槽333b,以利于弹性件340能将第一磁性件310推至定位孔122,此时第一磁性件310卡置在定位孔122与容置槽333b,而阻挡本体333相对于框架120滑动。In addition, the frame 120 also has a positioning hole 122 located on the moving path of the accommodating slot 333b. When the body 333 slides to the second position P2, the positioning hole 122 is facing the accommodating groove 333b, so that the elastic member 340 can push the first magnetic member 310 to the positioning hole 122, and the first magnetic member 310 is locked in the positioning The hole 122 and the accommodating groove 333b prevent the body 333 from sliding relative to the frame 120 .

图10是本发明扩充底座与便携式电子装置通过栓锁结构的操作流程图。请同时参考图5与图6、图9与图10,在步骤S110中,扩充基座100的底座110与框架120呈闭合状态,且第一卡勾331卡扣在底座110而将底座110与框架120固定在一起。在步骤S120中,将便携式电子装置200组装至框架120。在步骤S130,推动本体333而使第一卡勾331解除与底座110的栓锁关系,同时驱动第二卡勾332将便携式电子装置200固定在框架120。FIG. 10 is a flow chart of the operation of the docking station and the portable electronic device through the locking structure of the present invention. Please refer to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, FIG. 9 and FIG. 10 at the same time. In step S110, the base 110 and the frame 120 of the expansion base 100 are in a closed state, and the first hook 331 is buckled on the base 110 to connect the base 110 to the base 110. Frames 120 are secured together. In step S120 , the portable electronic device 200 is assembled to the frame 120 . In step S130 , the body 333 is pushed to release the latching relationship between the first hook 331 and the base 110 , and at the same time, the second hook 332 is driven to fix the portable electronic device 200 on the frame 120 .

值得注意的是,虽然此时的容置槽333b正对于定位孔122,但第一磁性件310与第二磁性件320之间的磁斥力大于弹性件340的磁斥力,故第一磁性件310仍因此而维持在容置槽333b内。在步骤S140中,由于已于前一步骤解除底座110与框架120的栓锁关系,故使用者能因此驱动框架120相对于底座110展开。此时第一磁性件310与第二磁性件320之间的距离会随之增加,因而使其间的磁斥力逐渐减少,故弹性件340便得以驱动第一磁性件310移至定位孔122,进而卡置在容置槽333b与定位孔122之间,造成阻挡本体333继续滑动的效果。It is worth noting that although the accommodating groove 333b at this time is facing the positioning hole 122, the magnetic repulsion between the first magnetic member 310 and the second magnetic member 320 is greater than the magnetic repulsion force of the elastic member 340, so the first magnetic member 310 Therefore, it remains in the accommodation groove 333b. In step S140 , since the locking relationship between the base 110 and the frame 120 has been released in the previous step, the user can thus drive the frame 120 to unfold relative to the base 110 . At this time, the distance between the first magnetic part 310 and the second magnetic part 320 will increase accordingly, thereby gradually reducing the magnetic repulsion force between them, so the elastic part 340 can drive the first magnetic part 310 to move to the positioning hole 122, and then It is clamped between the accommodating groove 333 b and the positioning hole 122 , resulting in the effect of preventing the main body 333 from continuing to slide.

换句话说,当底座110与框架120彼此展开后,因上述第一磁性件310的卡置动作而造成本体333不再滑动,故第二卡勾332能维持其卡扣在便携式电子装置200内的状态。据此,当底座110与框架120处于展开状态时,便携式电子装置200仍能维持与框架120之间的固定关系,其不受其他外力影响而避免从框架120掉落的可能性。In other words, when the base 110 and the frame 120 are unfolded, the body 333 no longer slides due to the clamping action of the first magnetic member 310 , so the second hook 332 can keep it locked in the portable electronic device 200 status. Accordingly, when the base 110 and the frame 120 are in the unfolded state, the portable electronic device 200 can still maintain a fixed relationship with the frame 120 , and it is not affected by other external forces to avoid the possibility of falling from the frame 120 .

此外,当需将便携式电子装置200从框架120上拆卸时,仅需反向操作上述步骤,亦即使框架120与底座110回复至闭合状态,便能顺利的取下便携式电子装置200。In addition, when the portable electronic device 200 needs to be disassembled from the frame 120 , the above steps only need to be reversed, that is, even if the frame 120 and the base 110 return to the closed state, the portable electronic device 200 can be removed smoothly.

综上所述,在本发明的上述实施例中,栓锁结构通过本体滑动而驱动第一卡勾或第二卡勾,以使框架栓锁在底座或使便携式电子装置栓锁在框架,并进一步地搭配磁性件,而使框架与底座仅能在呈闭合状态时进行组装或拆卸便携式电子装置。此举使扩充底座在展开状态时,第二卡勾仍能维持其卡扣在便携式电子装置的状态而不受外力影响,进而在展开状态的扩充基座能与便携式电子装置维持固定连接关系,因而确保电子组件使用时的安全性与操作性。To sum up, in the above embodiments of the present invention, the locking structure drives the first hook or the second hook through the sliding of the body, so that the frame is bolted to the base or the portable electronic device is bolted to the frame, and Furthermore, the magnetic part is matched so that the frame and the base can only be assembled or disassembled when the portable electronic device is in a closed state. In this way, when the expansion base is in the unfolded state, the second hook can still maintain its buckled state on the portable electronic device without being affected by external force, and then the expansion base in the expanded state can maintain a fixed connection with the portable electronic device. Therefore, the safety and operability of the electronic components are ensured.
