Wire controlled support assembly and electronic device including the same

摘要

An electronic device includes a housing with a base wall, a support unit and a control wire unit. The support unit includes a connecting member and a supporting member. The connecting member is connected to the base wall and has a connection portion. The supporting member has an engaging piece connected to the connection portion to vary an included angle between the supporting member and the base wall. The control wire unit includes a winding mechanism, a wire member and a control mechanism. The control mechanism is operable to control the winding mechanism to adjust an unwound length of the wire member for controlling the included angle between the supporting member and the base wall.

主权项

1. An electronic device, comprising:
a housing including a base wall and a side wall transversely connected to said base wall, said base wall having an opening; a support unit including a connecting member and a supporting member,
said connecting member being connected to said base wall and having a connection portion that corresponds in position to said opening,said supporting member having an engaging piece that is connected to said connection portion, a propping rod that extends outwardly of said opening from said engaging piece, a first wire fixing part that is connected to one end of said propping rod and distal from said engaging piece, and a wire channel that is formed in said propping rod in a longitudinal direction of said propping rod and that extends from said engaging piece to said first wire fixing part, said supporting member being pivotable relative to said base wall through a connection of said connection portion and said engaging piece to vary an included angle between said supporting member and said base wall; and a control wire unit including a winding mechanism, a wire member and a control mechanism,
said winding mechanism being disposed on an inner side of said base wall, and having a winding shaft that is rotatable relative to said base wall and a shaft-limiting unit that is connected to said winding shaft for limiting said winding shaft,said wire member having a wire and a positioning part connected to said first wire fixing part, said wire being wound on said winding shaft, and having one end secured to said winding shaft and another end connected to said positioning part, said wire member extending through said connection portion and said opening to enable said positioning part to be secured to said first wire fixing part so that part of said wire is received stretchedly within said wire channel,said control mechanism being connected to said winding mechanism and having a control member disposed on said side wall to be operated by a user, said control member being operable to control said winding mechanism so as to adjust a length of an unwound part of said wire member for control of a pivoting movement of said supporting member and the included angle between said supporting member and said base wall.
