Patent number: 11953942Abstract: A foldable electronic device having multiple screens is provided. The foldable electronic device includes a first screen, a worm rod, a moving member, at least one second screen, and at least one linking rod. The worm rod is rotatably disposed on the first screen. The moving member is coupled to the worm rod to move along the worm rod when the worm rod rotates. The second screen is movably disposed on the first screen. The linking rod is pivotally connected between the moving member and the second screen. When the moving part moves along the worm rod, the second screen is driven to move away from or closed to the worm rod by the linking rod, so that the second screen moves out of the first screen or is accommodated behind the first screen.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2021Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: Acer IncorporatedInventors: Hui-Ping Sun, Yen-Chou Chueh, Chun-Hung Wen, Chun-Hsien Chen

Publication number: 20240111339Abstract: A cabling structure of a foldable electronic device includes a first body, a second body, a hinge module connecting the first body and the second body, a sliding member movably disposed in the second body, a flexible electrical connecting member connected to the first body, the second body, and the sliding member and being driven when the first body and the second body are rotated relatively, and a restoring module disposed in the second body and providing a force to the sliding member. The first body and the second body are rotated relatively to each other through the hinge module. When being rotated relatively to each other, the first body and the second body drive the flexible electrical connecting member and the sliding member. The restoring module restores the sliding member and the flexible electrical connecting member via the force.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 8, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Applicant: Acer IncorporatedInventors: Hui-Ping Sun, Jui-Yi Yu, Chun-Hung Wen, Yen-Chou Chueh, Chun-Hsien Chen

Publication number: 20240111330Abstract: A foldable electronic device is provided, including a first body, a second body, a supporting member, a first hinge connecting the first body and the supporting member, a second hinge connecting the supporting member and the second body, and a gravity-type latch movably disposed in the supporting member. The first body and the supporting member are rotated relatively to be folded or unfolded via the first hinge, and the second body and the supporting member are rotated relatively to be folded or unfolded via the second hinge. In a transforming process of the first body folding to the supporting member and together unfolding relative to the second body, the gravity-type latch is latched onto the first body once the unfolding angle is less than a predetermined value, and the gravity-type latch is de-latched from the first body once the unfolding angle is equal to or greater than the predetermined value.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 4, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Applicant: Acer IncorporatedInventors: Jui-Yi Yu, Chun-Hsien Chen, Hui-Ping Sun, Chun-Hung Wen, Yen-Chou Chueh

Publication number: 20240098932Abstract: A foldable electronic device, including a first body, a second body, an air valve movably disposed in the first body, at least one triggering member, and a hinge connecting the first body and the second body, is provided. The first body has multiple openings respectively located at two opposite surfaces. The triggering member is movably disposed in the first body and has a part exposed outside the first body. The air valve and the triggering member are mutually on moving paths of each other. The first body and the second body are rotated to be folded or unfolded relative to each other by the hinge. A part of the triggering member is suitable for bearing a force such that the triggering member drives the air valve, so that the air valve opens or closes the openings.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 19, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Applicant: Acer IncorporatedInventors: Hui-Ping Sun, Jui-Yi Yu, Chun-Hung Wen, Yen-Chou Chueh, Yu-Ming Lin, Chun-Hsien Chen

Patent number: 11934223Abstract: A foldable electronic device, including a first body having a first shaft member, at least one second body having a second shaft member, and a latching member, is provided. The first shaft member and the second shaft member are coaxially pivoted together. The first shaft member has a recess. The second shaft member has a locking hole. The latching member is movably disposed in the recess and the locking hole, so that when the latching member leaves the locking hole, the first body and the second body are relatively pivoted through the first shaft member and the second shaft member, or when the latching member moves into the locking hole, the latching member interferes with the first shaft member and the second shaft member to block the first body and the second body from relatively pivoting.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2022Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Acer IncorporatedInventors: Hui-Ping Sun, Chun-Hung Wen, Yen-Chou Chueh, Chun-Hsien Chen

Publication number: 20210018935Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) includes one or more motors configured to drive one or more propellers of the UAV, a motion sensor configured to determine a motion parameter of the UAV, a memory storing instructions, and a processor coupled to the one or more motors, the motion sensor, and the memory. The processor is configured to execute the instructions to cause the UAV to determine whether a hand thrown mode is selected for the UAV and whether the one or more motors are turned off; responsive to a determination that the hand thrown mode is selected, receive a motion parameter from the motion sensor; and activate the one or more motors when the motion parameter is greater than a threshold value.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 15, 2019Publication date: January 21, 2021Applicant: GEOSAT Aerospace & Technology Inc.Inventors: Yung-Chieh HUANG, Yen-Ping Chen

Publication number: 20180289202Abstract: A coffee powder distribution device includes a rotary member. The rotary member includes a shaft and a plurality of blades. The shaft is rotatable along an axis. The blades are disposed on the shaft and each have an inclined angle relative to the axis. Through rotation of the shaft, the blades are rotated coaxially to guide coffee powder to evenly fall down and distribute in a carrier.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 17, 2017Publication date: October 11, 2018Inventors: Yu-Ming Yang, Shih-Huang Yeh, Yen-Ping Chen

Publication number: 20070209964Abstract: A packaging box comprising a box and a frame disposed inside the box is provided. The frame includes a bottom panel, two flaps and two tabs. The flaps are connected to the opposite sides of the bottom panel and the junction between each flap and the bottom panel has a first folding line. Each flap includes a plurality of inlaid openings, a second folding line and a third folding line. The inlaid openings are arranged along the direction of extension of the first folding line. The second folding line is tangent to one side of these inlaid openings. The third folding line is tangent to the opposite side of these inlaid openings. The distance from the bottom panel to the second folding line is greater than that to the third folding line. The tabs fixed to the bottom panel are connected to the flaps along the respective second folding lines.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 9, 2006Publication date: September 13, 2007Inventor: Yen-Ping Chen
