背景技术Background technique

随着信息技术及电脑工业的高度发展，切换器系统控制多台电脑主机已成为有效减少所需设备数量及节省空间的趋势。一般做法是将多台电脑主机及切换器系统整合堆叠于机柜中。然而，多台叠设在机柜的电脑主机或是机房空间设计可能限制了切换器系统的延伸及操作空间。因此，如何改善切换器系统的延伸及操作空间且让操作者方便使用，为现今重要的议题之一。With the rapid development of information technology and the computer industry, it has become a trend to effectively reduce the number of required devices and save space by using a switch system to control multiple computer hosts. The general practice is to integrate and stack multiple computer hosts and switch systems in a cabinet. However, multiple computer hosts stacked in a cabinet or the space design of the computer room may limit the extension and operation space of the switch system. Therefore, how to improve the extension and operating space of the switch system and make it convenient for operators to use is one of the important issues nowadays.

The fixingframe 220 has aprotrusion 221 , anelastic member 222 , apositioning rod 223 and a receivingmember 224 . In this embodiment, thepositioning rod 223 is engaged in the slot of theprojection 221 , and theelastic member 222 is sheathed on thepositioning rod 223 . In this embodiment, theprotrusion 221 , theelastic member 222 and thepositioning rod 223 are disposed on the receivingmember 224 . Theaccommodating member 224 has anabutting surface 224A, which is perpendicular to the extending direction of thepositioning rod 223 , and two ends of theelastic member 222 respectively abut against the abuttingsurface 224A and theprotrusion 221 .

在本实施例中，弹性件222为弹簧，当弹性件222受压缩或拉伸时，由于弹性件222套设于定位杆223，定位杆223能够产生导引作用而使弹性件222具有较平稳的移动。在其他实施例中，弹性件222也可以由泡棉、橡胶或其他可压缩的材质而制成，或是固定架220也可以不包括定位杆223，并不以上述为限。In this embodiment, theelastic member 222 is a spring. When theelastic member 222 is compressed or stretched, since theelastic member 222 is sleeved on thepositioning rod 223, thepositioning rod 223 can produce a guiding effect so that theelastic member 222 has a relatively stable of the mobile. In other embodiments, theelastic member 222 may also be made of foam, rubber or other compressible materials, or the fixingframe 220 may not include thepositioning rod 223 , and the above is not limited thereto.

请参考图1与图3B，当使用者不使用切换器系统1时，显示单元212以及滑动单元230分别位于图1与图3B所示的收纳位置。此时，凸块221会因为弹性件222的弹性力驱动而伸入第一开口C1。本实施例通过凸块221伸入第一开口C1而限制第一滑轨2311的移动。Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 3B , when the user does not use theswitch system 1 , thedisplay unit 212 and the slidingunit 230 are respectively located at the storage positions shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3B . At this time, the protrudingblock 221 will protrude into the first opening C1 due to the elastic force of theelastic member 222 . In this embodiment, the movement of the first slidingrail 2311 is restricted by theprotrusion 221 protruding into the first opening C1 .

请参考图3C与图3F，当使用者欲使用切换器系统1时，使用者可以使显示单元212随第二滑轨2312从图1所示的收纳位置移动至图3F所示的监控位置，且使滑动单元230位于图3C所示的监控位置。此时，凸块221还位于第一开口C1，凸块221会干涉切换件232而使显示单元212停留于图3F所示的监控位置。Please refer to FIG. 3C and FIG. 3F, when the user wants to use theswitch system 1, the user can move thedisplay unit 212 along with the second slidingrail 2312 from the storage position shown in FIG. 1 to the monitoring position shown in FIG. 3F, And the slidingunit 230 is located at the monitoring position shown in FIG. 3C . At this time, theprotrusion 221 is still located at the first opening C1 , and theprotrusion 221 interferes with the switchingmember 232 to make thedisplay unit 212 stay at the monitoring position shown in FIG. 3F .

请参考图3D、图3E与图3G，当使用者欲得到更好的操作视角时，使用者可以将显示单元212随第二滑轨2312从图3F所示的监控位置移动至图3G所示的操作位置。在移动显示单元212的过程中，切换件232会与显示单元212一同移动，且切换件232施加大于一预设值的力量于凸块221，使凸块221被切换件232推移而解除与第一开口C1的干涉。也就是说，凸块221会退出第一开口C1，滑动单元230的切换件232位于图3D所示的解锁位置。Please refer to FIG. 3D, FIG. 3E and FIG. 3G. When the user wants to obtain a better operating angle of view, the user can move thedisplay unit 212 along with the second slidingrail 2312 from the monitoring position shown in FIG. 3F to the one shown in FIG. 3G operating position. In the process of moving thedisplay unit 212, the switchingmember 232 will move together with thedisplay unit 212, and the switchingmember 232 will apply a force greater than a preset value to theprotrusion 221, so that theprotrusion 221 is pushed by the switchingmember 232 to release the contact with the second An interference of opening C1. That is to say, theprotrusion 221 will withdraw from the first opening C1, and the switchingmember 232 of the slidingunit 230 is located at the unlocked position shown in FIG. 3D.

当解除切换件232与凸块221之间的干涉时，弹性件240为了从初始的拉伸状态恢复成原本长度，会产生一拉力以驱动滑轨组231，进而使显示单元212自动地往图3G所示的操作位置移动。当显示单元212与滑动单元230位于图3G以及图3E所示的操作位置时，凸块221会受弹性件222的弹性力驱动伸入第二开口C2而限制第一滑轨2311继续移动。When the interference between the switchingmember 232 and theprotrusion 221 is removed, theelastic member 240 will generate a pulling force to drive the slidingrail group 231 in order to return to the original length from the initial stretched state, and then thedisplay unit 212 will automatically move toward the The operating position shown in 3G moves. When thedisplay unit 212 and the slidingunit 230 are in the operating positions shown in FIG. 3G and FIG. 3E , theprotrusion 221 is driven by the elastic force of theelastic member 222 to extend into the second opening C2 to restrict the first slidingrail 2311 from moving further.

在本实施例中，当显示单元212位于图3F所示的监控位置时，如图3C所示，凸块221是以一斜面F干涉切换件232。在本实施例中，斜面F倾斜于第二滑轨2312的移动方向，这样的设计方式能够使凸块221较不易因长久的使用而耗损，但并不以此为限。In this embodiment, when thedisplay unit 212 is located at the monitoring position shown in FIG. 3F , as shown in FIG. 3C , theprotrusion 221 interferes with the switchingmember 232 with an inclined plane F. As shown in FIG. In this embodiment, the slope F is inclined to the moving direction of the second slidingrail 2312 , such a design can make the protruding block 221 less likely to be worn out due to long-term use, but it is not limited thereto.

在本实施例中，显示单元212位于图3F所示的监控位置时，显示单元212与滑轨组231的移动方向的夹角为90度至95度，但当显示单元212位于图3G所示的操作位置时，显示单元212与滑轨组231的移动方向的夹角大于等于115度。换言之，本实施例的切换器系统1可有效地增加显示单元212的可翻掀角度。In this embodiment, when thedisplay unit 212 is located at the monitoring position shown in FIG. 3F , the included angle between thedisplay unit 212 and the moving direction of theslide rail group 231 is 90 to 95 degrees.

综上所述，在本发明的人机界面装置与切换器系统中，弹性件的两端分别固定于滑轨组与固定架。当切换件处于干涉状态时，切换件干涉固定架而使显示单元停留于一监控位置。当切换件处于解锁状态时，切换件解除与固定架的干涉而使显示单元可以离开监控位置。当切换件处于解锁状态时，弹性件驱动滑轨组而使显示单元移动至操作位置，进而达到自动掀翻显示单元的目的。To sum up, in the man-machine interface device and the switch system of the present invention, the two ends of the elastic member are respectively fixed to the slide rail set and the fixing frame. When the switching element is in the interference state, the switching element interferes with the fixing frame so that the display unit stays at a monitoring position. When the switching member is in the unlocked state, the switching member removes the interference with the fixing frame so that the display unit can leave the monitoring position. When the switching member is in the unlocked state, the elastic member drives the sliding rail group to move the display unit to the operating position, thereby achieving the purpose of automatically turning over the display unit.
