Please refer to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the structure of the portable electronic device 14 not combined with the external electronic device 12 according to the embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. Structural cross-sectional view of device 12. The accommodating structure 18 has at least one protrusion 44 disposed on the inner wall of the accommodating structure 18 . A plurality of protrusions 44 are respectively disposed on a plurality of opposite inner walls of the accommodating structure 18 . As shown in FIG. 4 , the clamping member 22 is in the initial position, and one end of the clamping member 22 opposite to the clamping portion 40 is aligned with an appearance surface 46 of the housing structure 18 (wherein, the appearance surface 46 can be the surface of the housing structure 18 Open end); at this time, the clamping part 40 of the clamping part 22 is movable against the protruding part 44, and the stopper part 42 stops against the other inner wall 48 of the accommodating structure 18 to prevent the clamping part 22 from Fall out of the containing structure 18 .

As shown in FIG. 5 , when the portable electronic device 14 is placed on the seat body 26 , the limiting member 28 will be inserted into the accommodating structure 18 , and the limiting member 28 pushes the clamping member 22 along an insertion direction D toward the interior of the accommodating structure 18 move. Since the clamping part 40 is arranged on the body 38 in a bendable and deformable manner, or the clamping part 40 is made of an elastically deformable material, the limiting part 28 can squeeze the clamping part 22 to drive the clamping part 22 to produce elastic deformation, so that Two opposite side surfaces of the clamping member 22 (or the clamping portion 40 ) abut against the outer surface of the limiting member 28 and the inner wall (or the protruding portion 44 ) of the accommodating structure 18 respectively. In this way, the clamping portion 40 of the clamping member 22 can completely fill the gap between the limiting member 28 and the accommodating structure 18 , that is, the protruding portion 44 of the accommodating structure 18 and the limiting member 28 are in tight fit. Clamp the clamping part 40 in a manner.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 , the driving assembly 30 is disposed between the clamping member 22 and the receiving structure 18 . Wherein, the driving assembly 30 is preferably designed as a square spring that can surround the clamping member 22 . When the limiter 28 is inserted into the accommodating structure 18, the clamping member 22 moves along the insertion direction D, and the driving assembly 30 is squeezed to store an elastic recovery force; when the external force applied to the bearing mechanism 16 is removed, the elastic recovery The force can drive the clip 22 to move relative to the accommodating structure 18 along the direction opposite to the insertion direction D, so that the stopper 42 of the clip 22 abuts against the inner wall 48 of the accommodating structure 18, so that the appearance of the clip 22 The face is aligned with the appearance face of the portable electronic device 14 . However, as the structure of the clamping member 22 changes, the drive assembly 30 can also be designed as a circular spring, torsion spring, tension spring, etc., or the drive assembly 30 can also be a magnetic assembly that applies magnetic attraction force, and its embodiment is not limited to As mentioned above, it depends on the design requirements.

Please refer to FIG. 6 . FIG. 6 is a partial structural cross-sectional view of the carrying mechanism 16 according to an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the base body 26 can also optionally include a covering unit 50 for covering the protection hook 34 . The user can drive the movement of the hook 34 relative to the slot structure 20 by pushing the latch 32 . When the portable electronic device 14 is placed on the base 26 , the user pushes the hook 34 through the latch 32 (or is driven by an elastic unit) to engage with the slot structure 20 . If you want to release the restraint of the carrying mechanism 16, then push and pull the latch fastener 32 in the opposite direction (towards the right as shown in FIG. Easily removed from the seat body 26.

In addition, the slot structure 20 may have a first inclined guide surface 201 , and the hook member 34 may have a second inclined guide surface 341 . The plane normal vector V of the inclined surface is not parallel to the insertion direction D of the portable electronic device 14 mounted on the base 26 ; In this way, when the hook member 34 engages with the groove structure 20, the second inclined guide surface 341 is pressed against the first inclined guide surface 201, and the draw groove structure 20 can be pulled close to the hook member 34 through the guiding effect of the inclined surface. , which means that the hook member 34 can continuously pull down the portable electronic device 14 to move toward the seat body 26, thereby allowing the limiting member 28 to go deeper into the accommodating structure 18, so that the clamping member 22 can be further bent and deformed to effectively fill the limit The gap between the piece 28 and the receiving structure 18.

To sum up, the present invention forms a receiving structure in the structure of the portable electronic device, and provides an elastically deformable clamping member in the receiving structure, so the appearance of the portable electronic device will not be affected. The base of the carrying mechanism is pivotally connected to the external electronic device. When the portable electronic device is assembled on the base to electrically connect the external electronic device, the limiting part of the base can be inserted into the accommodation structure, and the limiting part drives the clamping part Bending deformation to fill (eliminate) the gap between the stopper and the receiving structure. Since the combination of the portable electronic device and the external electronic device is tight without gaps, the portable electronic device can stand stably on the external electronic device (base body) without unexpected shaking.

In addition, the carrying mechanism of the present invention is also fastened to the slot structure of the portable electronic device by using a hook with an inclined guide surface. The inclined guide surface of the hook can pull the portable electronic device to move downward and be more closely attached to the seat. Accordingly, the limiting member can be made deeper into the accommodating structure, ensuring that the structural bending change of the clamping member can completely eliminate the gap between the limiting member and the accommodating structure. In addition, the clamping part and the limiting part also have a similar inclined guide surface design. The front end of the limiting part and the inner side of the clamping part of the clamping part respectively have an inclined guide surface structure, which can help the limiting part to exit the accommodation structure and save use Or the force to dismount the portable electronic device from the base body can also avoid excessive force when dismounting the portable electronic device and damage the supporting mechanism.

Compared with the prior art, the carrying mechanism and its related computer system of the present invention have the advantages of simple structure and easy operation, and can easily and stably assemble or quickly disassemble a portable electronic device on an external electronic device through simple steps and in the most labor-saving manner , which can effectively solve the disadvantages of inconvenient operation of traditional bearing mechanisms.
