Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of electronic installation, and relate in particular to a kind of electronic installation with knob.
Background technology
Along with the progress of science and technology, the use of notebook computer is quite general, and becomes indispensable outfit in modern's life and the work.Therefore, notebook computer functional, convenience and variability and user's operating efficiency or life ﹠ amusement in the use is closely related.And each notebook computer manufacturer also drops into the improvement that a large amount of development costs is carried out notebook computer, no matter in the new function of increase or aspect the reduction manufacturing cost, all to scheme and can enhance competitiveness.
Fig. 1 is the structural representation of known a kind of notebook computer.Please refer to Fig. 1, known notebook computer 100 comprises main frame 110 and display 120.Wherein, main frame 110 mainly comprises hinge portion 112, a plurality of button 114 and a plurality of function button 116.This hinge portion 112 is articulated in display 120, and display 120 can be rotated with respect to main frame 110.This button 114 is arranged at the loam cake 110a of notebook computer 100, and function button 116 is arranged at the loam cake 110a of notebook computer 100 equally, and is positioned at the periphery of button 114.The user can be input into information in the main frame 110 by button 114, and in addition, the user also can pass through pressing function button 116, to start each function button 116 pairing functions, for example: start battery saving mode ... etc.
Generally speaking, the below of function button 116 can be provided with coil tension spring (not marking among the figure).When user's desire starts certain function, push the function button 116 on the main frame 110 downwards, on off state with diverter switch element (not marking among the figure), and then start its corresponding function, otherwise, after the user removed push action, coil tension spring can make function button 116 return back to the origin-location.
Yet,, therefore,, easily make loam cake 110a seem comparatively complicated if when function button 116 is arranged at general button 114 peripheral because the usage space of the loam cake 110a of notebook computer 100 is limited.In addition, though the design of above-mentioned functions button 116 is comparatively simple and convenient, but because functions such as mains switch or battery saving mode are not more frequently used, if the design of adopting above-mentioned functions button 116 is to start corresponding function, then can reduce the texture of notebook computer 100 significantly, and then allow the user feel dull.
Summary of the invention
In view of this, the object of the present invention is to provide a kind of electronic installation, knob is set, and the user can be by stirring this knob to start its corresponding function on electronic installation with knob, allow the user when operation, preferable sensation be arranged, and can improve the texture of electronic installation.
Based on above-mentioned or other purpose, the present invention proposes a kind of electronic installation with knob, comprises main frame, display, knob, switch element and first reposition element.Wherein, main frame has the hinge portion, and the hinge portion has casing, and opening is positioned at casing.Display is articulated in the hinge portion of main frame, and knob is articulated on the casing, and this knob is positioned at opening, and it has first joint portion, is engaged with each other in order to second joint portion with switch element.First reposition element is arranged on the swingle of knob, and an end of first reposition element is connected to knob, and the other end is connected to casing.When knob is subjected to the external force effect and rotates, can make its first joint portion drive second joint portion of switch element, so that second joint portion moves to the second place by primary importance, after external force is removed, knob can by first reposition element make second joint portion by second site reversion to primary importance, with this diverter switch element, to start corresponding function.
In one of the present invention preferred embodiment, knob can be annular, and the surface of knob has at least one concavo-convex profile, stirs this knob to make things convenient for user's application of force.
In one of the present invention preferred embodiment, this electronic installation for example can comprise display and main frame, and display is articulated in the hinge portion of main frame, and above-mentioned opening is positioned at the hinge portion.
