Breakthrough in the leather, rubber sleeve, the protection of traditional thinking set of design, concepts like apple to the protection given by the attachment is a Book cover. This innovative concept, to the third party manufacturers have a good lesson. Smart Cover also has two special features: automatic alignment of magnetic shaft, and lift the cover iPad 2 automatic activation, auto sleep together. These features because of the need to start from iPad 2 fuselage design will cooperate, it is to let the third party companies to catch up. We already know that Smart Cover is the use of magnetic adsorption in iPad 2 fuselage. The automatic alignment of it is how to achieve, auto sleep function and how to complete is still a mystery. Dismantling.
Design consistency of third party vendors can not match, apple is likely to iPad 2 and Smart Cover as a product design.
The fold is triangle, as iPad 2 support.
The use of a magnetic field developing film, can be found in Smart Cover and iPad body edge, are in possession of many magnets. A large number of magnet Smart Cover side of the bracket is in order to ensure stability state, and the circular magnet inside the red circle is the secret auto sleep function.
As a test, if you will be a strong magnet on the part of the edge of the 2 iPad.
The system will automatically turn off the screen to enter dormancy.
The system will automatically turn off the screen to enter dormancy. The other side, also found a corresponding magnet. These magnets to ensure the automatic alignment function Smart Cover, Smart Cover will be free to put in the fuselage near perfectly it can automatic alignment.
The dismantling of iPad 2 body of a glimpse of their internal secret. The red part is dormant sensor. While the yellow part of the magnet ensures that Smart Cover can stabilize the cover on the screen, will not easily fall off. Also worth noting, here the magnet has been annotated with the polarity (+ - + -), the corresponding position and Smart Cover magnet one one correspondence, ensure that the correct direction of adsorption.
The left side of the fuselage of the magnet, is embedded into the back cover side iPad 2.
These special magnet arc appears and iPad 2 body edge anastomosis, ensure the stability of the magnetic adsorption.
A photograph was taken after 10 seconds, the two segment magnet has automatic adsorption together, we can see its magnetic quite.
Unfortunately, want to open the Smart Cover, failure is inevitable.
Smart Cover layer, the red box with a metal plate is pasted with a supporting role in the magnet, two section of yellow plastic plate is purely structural support role, on the right side of the yellow box inside, we have just been a number of magnet position determination.
If none of these magnets, like you "cover" will.
Smart Cover on the left side of the rotating shaft, also includes two sets of 6 magnets, and two in the corresponding section of the fuselage. The suction is quite amazing, 5 cm range will automatically find each other, hence automatic alignment.
So is the structure of Smart Cover. In addition to these magnetic function, the inner layer is a micro fiber material can help to clean the screen, the outer layer is a polyurethane or cortex. |
