Portable electronic device

Abstract

A portable electronic device. The portable electronic device includes a base, a body, and a connecting mechanism. The body has a first surface and a second surface, wherein the first surface faces the base. The connecting mechanism rotatably connects the base and the body. The connecting mechanism rotates relative to the base to a specific angle. The body rotates relative to the connecting mechanism, allowing the second surface to face the base.

Claims

1. A portable electronic device, comprising: a base;a body having a first surface and a second surface; anda connecting mechanism rotatably connecting to the base and the body;wherein the connecting mechanism rotates relative to the base and the body, allowing the base to face the first surface or the second surface of the body.

2. The portable electronic device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the body comprises a protrusion, the connecting mechanism comprises an opening, and the protrusion moves and rotates in the opening between a first area and a second area thereof.

3. The portable electronic device as claimed in claim 2, wherein the connecting mechanism comprises a first end pivoting on the base, allowing the base to rotate relative to the connecting mechanism.

4. The portable electronic device as claimed in claim 3, wherein when the protrusion is in the first area of the opening, a first distance is defined between the protrusion and the first end, and when the protrusion is in the second area of the opening, a second distance is defined between the protrusion and the first end, exceeding the first distance.

5. The portable electronic device as claimed in claim 2, further comprising an elastic element disposed on the periphery of the opening and abutted the protrusion.

6. The portable electronic device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the connecting mechanism is a telescopic link, operated by hydraulic pressure or pneumatic pressure.

7. The portable electronic device as claimed in claim 6, wherein the telescopic link comprises a first rod pivoting on the base, and a second rod pivoting on the body.

8. The portable electronic device as claimed in claim 7, wherein the first rod comprises a first axle, connected with the base, allowing the first rod to rotate relative to the base, and the second rod comprises a second axle, connected with the body, allowing the second rod to rotate relative to the body.

9. The portable electronic device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the connecting mechanism, pivoted on the base and the body, is telescopic, and comprises an elastic element, providing elasticity to the connecting mechanism.

10. The portable electronic device as claimed in claim 9 wherein the connecting mechanism comprises a pair of first connectors pivoted on the body, and an axle connects the first connectors.

11. The portable electronic device as claimed in claim 10, further comprising a fixing member, fixing the axle to the base in a rotatable manner.

12. The portable electronic device as claimed in claim 10, wherein each first connector comprises a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion, and a notch is formed between the first and second connecting portions with the elastic element being disposed therein.

13. The portable electronic device as claimed in claim 12, wherein the elastic element connects the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion.

14. The portable electronic device as claimed in claim 12, wherein the first connecting portion rotatably connects to the base by the axle, and the second connecting portion rotatably connects to the body.

15. The portable electronic device as claimed in claim 10, wherein the connecting mechanism further comprises a pair of second connectors, fixed to the body and connected with the first connectors respectively in a rotatable manner.

16. The portable electronic device as claimed in claim 9, wherein the connecting mechanism comprises a first connector pivoted on the base, and a second connector fixed to the body and pivoted on the first connector.

17. A portable electronic device, comprising: a base;a body having a first surface facing the base, and a second surface; anda connecting mechanism rotatably connecting to the base and the body;wherein the connecting mechanism rotates relative to the base to a specific angle and the body rotates relative to the connecting mechanism, allowing the second surface faces the base.

18. The portable electronic device as claimed in claim 17, wherein the specific angle exceeds 60° or is less than 80°.
