Patent number: 11914432Abstract: A portable electronic device including a first body, a second body, a pivot element, a heat source, a first flexible heat conductive element, and a flip cover is provided. The pivot element is connected to the second body, and the second body is pivotally connected to the first body through the pivot element. The heat source is disposed in the first body. The first flexible heat conductive element is thermally coupled to the heat source and extends toward the pivot element from the heat source. The first flexible heat conductive element passes through the pivot element and extends into the inside of the second body and is thus thermally coupled to the second body. The flip cover is pivotally connected to the first body and located on a moving path of the pivot element.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2022Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Acer IncorporatedInventors: Chun-Chieh Wang, Wen-Neng Liao, Cheng-Wen Hsieh, Chuan-Hua Wang, Yi-Ta Huang
