Description

Combination of operating module and electronic device using the module

technical field

The invention relates to an operation module and an electronic device combination using the module, and in particular to an operation module capable of holding a portable electronic device and an electronic device combination using the module.

Background technique

Today's electronic devices such as tablet computers do not have an input device such as a physical keyboard, but simulate a virtual keyboard on the touch panel of the tablet computer. However, such a configuration will inevitably reduce the display range of the tablet computer. In addition, the tactile feel of the virtual keyboard is quite different from that of the physical keyboard, making it difficult for users to use. Furthermore, the long-term use of the virtual keyboard will definitely cause damage to the touch screen of the tablet computer. Moreover, the cost of a touch panel is much higher than that of a general physical keyboard, and so is the cost of maintenance.

The position of the first plate 120 is corresponding to the position of the second plate 130 .

Please refer to FIG. 2A , which is a cross-sectional view of the operation module 100 along the section line 2A- 2A' in FIG. 1 . As shown in FIG. 2A , the first connecting portion 121 is provided with a slide rail 121a. The second connecting portion 131 is provided with a sliding block 131a, and the sliding block 131a is slidably disposed on the sliding rail 121a along the moving path D1, so that the second plate 130 is movably disposed on the first plate 120 . The operating module 100 further includes an elastic member 150 disposed between the sliding block 131 a of the second connecting portion 131 and the sliding rail 121 a of the first connecting portion 121 . The elastic member 150 is, for example, a spring.

Please refer to FIG. 2B , which is a cross-sectional view of the operation module 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. When the operation module 100 intends to clamp the portable electronic device 200 , move the second plate 130 away from the first plate 120 along the moving path D1 to enlarge the distance between the first plate 120 and the second plate 130 . At this time, the elastic member 150 is in a stretched deformation state. Next, the portable electronic device 200 is placed between the first plate 120 and the second plate 130 , and the second plate 130 is released.
