In addition, FIG. 4A to FIG. 4C and FIG. 5A to FIG. 5C are schematic diagrams of the interlocking mechanism inside the handheld electronic device 100 from different perspectives, wherein FIG. 4A to FIG. 5A to 5C omit the first body 110 to show the connection relationship between the second body 120 and the linkage mechanism.

In this embodiment, the aforementioned linkage mechanism is, for example, a connecting rod 130, and the first guide rail 112 and the second guide rail 122 corresponding to the connecting rod 130 are respectively provided on the first body 110 and the second body 120, so as to pass The first guide rail 112 and the second guide rail 122 drive the connecting rod 130 to move, so that the connecting rod 130 drives the stand 140 to extend out of the handheld electronic device 100 .

Please refer to FIG. 3A , FIG. 4A and FIG. 5A first. In this embodiment, the connecting rod 130 disposed between the first body 110 and the second body 120 has a driven end 132 and a driving end 134 that are linked to each other. , and the driven end 132 is driven by the first body 110 and the second body 120 . In addition, the stand 140 is slidably disposed between the first body 110 and the second body 120 , and driven by the driving end 134 of the connecting rod 130 .

In this embodiment, a first guide rail 112 and a second guide rail 122 may be provided on the two adjacent surfaces of the first body 110 and the second body 120 respectively, and the connecting rod 130 is located between the two adjacent surfaces. between. One end 132 of the connecting rod 130 , as a driven end, is slidably disposed in the first guide rail 112 and the second guide rail 122 , and is located at the intersection of the first guide rail 112 and the second guide rail 122 . In more detail, one end 132 of the link 130 is pivotally provided with a first slider 132a and a second slider 132b, the first slider 132a is located in the second guide rail 122, and the second slider 132b is located in the first guide rail 112, The one end 132 of the connecting rod 130 can move along the first guide rail 112 and the second guide rail 122 simultaneously with the relative movement of the first body 110 and the second body 120 . In addition, the other end 134 of the connecting rod 130 is used as a driving end and connected to the stand 140 .

Please refer to FIG. 3B , FIG. 4B and FIG. 5B , the first guide rail 112 and the second guide rail 122 have an angle less than 90 degrees, such as 45 degrees. In this embodiment, the extending direction of the second guide rail 122 is substantially perpendicular to the operating direction 170 . When the user pushes the second body 120 to slide relative to the first body 110 along the operating direction 170 , the second body 120 will drive the driven end 132 to move from a first end 112 a to a second end 112 b of the first guide rail 112 . Moreover, the driven end 132 also moves from a third end 122a to a fourth end 122b of the second guide rail 122 through the above-mentioned moving manner. It should be noted that the driving end 134 is driven by the driven end 132 , and then drives the tripod 140 to move and be exposed by the first body 110 .

Please refer to FIG. 3C , FIG. 4C and FIG. 5C , the stand 140 protrudes behind the first body 110 and can pivot relative to the first body 110 and the second body 120 . Furthermore, the stand 140 can pivot in a direction away from the second body 120 by using the pivot connected to the connecting rod 130 as an axis. In this way, the handheld electronic device 100 can realize the standing function through the stand 140 . In this embodiment, an elastic member 180 , such as a torsion spring, may be disposed on the pivot of the stand 140 and the connecting rod 130 to provide a torque for the stand 140 to pivot away from the second body 120 .

Through the above design, the user only needs to operate the handheld electronic device 100 with one hand to make the second body 120 slide relative to the first body 110, and then the tripod 140 can extend out of the handheld electronic device 100, so as to realize the holding of the handheld electronic device 100. Standing function. Therefore, the user can avoid complicated operation steps, saving time and effort. Of course, the linkage mechanism of the above-mentioned link type is only for example. In fact, after referring to the description of the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can use other combinations such as gear sets or mechanism linkages. The same effects as those of the foregoing embodiments are achieved, and details are not repeated here.

In addition, the linkage mechanism proposed in the above-mentioned embodiments has the characteristic that the stand can be completely accommodated (hidden) when in standby, and the stand can be extended to a sufficient length to the outside of the handheld electronic device when in use. That is to say, in the actuation process of the aforementioned embodiment, the stroke of the actual movement of the tripod will be greater than the mutual movement stroke between the first body and the second body, so that the tripod protruding out of the handheld electronic device has a sufficient length, It is enough to firmly support the handheld electronic device, so that the handheld electronic device will not fall due to an unstable center of gravity.

Please refer to FIG. 1A, FIG. 1B, FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B again. When the first body 110 and the second body 120 slide relative to each other for a distance d along the operating direction 170, the first body 110 and the second body 120 will be driven by the driven end. 132 inputs a first stroke S1 equal to the distance d to the connecting rod 130 in the operating direction 170 . Therefore, the driven end 132 will move the first stroke S1 from the first end 112 a to the second end 112 b of the first guide rail 112 .

Next, the driving end 134 is driven by the driven end 132 to correspondingly output a second stroke S2 along the operating direction 170 to the stand 140 . In particular, the second stroke S2 is greater than the first stroke S1 so that the stand 140 can extend out of the handheld electronic device 100 . That is, the stroke S2 of the actual movement of the stand 140 will be greater than the distance d between the first body 110 and the second body 120 , so that the stand 140 protruding from the handheld electronic device 100 has a sufficient length. The handheld electronic device 100 can be stably supported.

To sum up, when the user wants to use the handheld electronic device, he only needs to slide the second body relative to the first body along the operating direction, and the tripod will be exposed by the first body driven by the linkage mechanism, and then It can pivot in a direction away from the second body. Therefore, the hand-held electronic device of the present invention can stand on a surface through the stand, so that the user can directly watch the screen of the hand-held electronic device and listen to the sound emitted by the speaker without holding it by hand Handheld electronic devices or placed on a base. In addition, the handheld electronic device of the present invention can completely accommodate the tripod between the first body and the second body, so as to improve the portability of the handheld electronic device. On the other hand, the actual moving stroke of the tripod will be greater than the mutual moving stroke between the first body and the second body, so that the tripod protruding out of the handheld electronic device has a sufficient length, enough to firmly support the handheld electronic device, and make the The hand-held electronic device will not fall due to unstable center of gravity.

Although the present invention has been disclosed in conjunction with the above embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention should be defined by the appended claims.
