An electronic apparatus including a first body, a second body, a connection port module and a pushing rod module is provided. The second body pivoted to the first body so that the second body is able to be opened and closed relative to the first body. The connection port module is movably disposed in the first body and has a pushing portion. The pushing rod module is disposed in the first body. A first end of the pushing rod module is coupled to the pushing portion, and a second end of the pushing rod module is coupled to the second body. When the second body spreads out relative to the first body, the second body drives the pushing portion by the pushing rod module so that the connection port module is exposed from the first body by moving relative to the first body.

This application claims the priority benefit of Taiwan application serial no. 100139838, filed on Nov. 1, 2011. The entirety of the above-mentioned patent application is hereby incorporated by reference herein and made a part of this specification.
1. Field of the Invention
The invention is directed to an electronic apparatus and more particularly, to an electronic apparatus with a connection port module.
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an electronic apparatus according to one embodiment of the invention.
FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing the electronic apparatus depicted in FIG. 1A in a spreading status.
FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B are cross-sectional diagrams respectively illustrating members of a connection port module of the electronic apparatus depicted in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2.
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an electronic apparatus according to one embodiment of the invention. An electronic apparatus depicted therein is in a closed status. FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing the electronic apparatus depicted in FIG. 1 in a spreading status. Referring to both FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, in the present embodiment, an electronic apparatus 100 is, for example, a notebook computer, which includes a first body 110, a second body 120 and a connection port module 130. The first body 110 is, for example, a host of the notebook computer, and a keyboard 112 and a touch board 114 are disposed thereon. The second body 120 is, for example, a screen of the notebook computer and pivoted to the first body 110 so that the second body is opened and closed relative thereto. The connection port module 130 is constructed of a bearing member 132 and a plurality of connectors 134 (e.g., an audio jack, an universal serial bus, and so on), which is movably disposed in the first body 110. Herein, when the second body 120 is opened and closed relative to the first body 110, the second body 120 drives the connection port module 130 to rotate relative to the first body 110. For example, when the second body 120 spreads out relative to the first body 110, the second body 120 drives the connection port module 130 to overturn so as to be exposed from the first body 110. And, a surface of the connection port module 130 exposed from the first body 110 is different from a surface covered by the second body 120 when the second body 120 is closed relative to the first body 110.
FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B are cross-sectional diagrams respectively illustrating members of a connection port module of the electronic apparatus depicted in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2. Refer to both FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B comparing with FIG. 1 and FIG. 2. To be more specific, the first body 110 has a covering surface F1, which is a surface where the keyboard 112 and touch board 114 are located as shown in FIG. 2. The bearing member 132 of the connection port module 130 has a side surface F2 opposite to the connector 134.
When the second body 120 is closed relative to the first body 110, the second body 120 is stacked on the covering surface F1, and the side surface F2 of the connection port module 130 is exposed from the first body 110 and adjacently connected with the covering surface F1. Namely, the bearing member 132 has an outline matching the first body 110.
